Interview with Lord Geoffrey Howe

Margaret Thatcher's longest serving cabinet minister is well-known for the resignation speech many cite as having prompted her downfall but the majority of his ministerial career bears the hallmarks of a constructive working relationship that Howe characterises as having been "like a marriage". He first worked with Thatcher while she was Secretary of State for Education under Ted Heath and attributes the longevity of their careers to shared ideals and a mutual appreciation of the other's abilities. Howe became Chancellor of Exchequer during a time of extreme economic uncertainty in Britain, overseeing the radical 1981 Budget that some credit with having brought Britain out of the gloom of the 1970s and cementing the monetarist policies that remained central to successive Budgets thereafter.

Interview with Nigel Haywood, Governor of the Falkland Islands
June 19, 2013 June 19, 2013 ~ AshleyCoates	~ Leave a comment
Read the full interview here
It's one of the most important roles in British diplomacy, overseeing the administration of a group of islands 8000 miles away in the South Atlantic. It's a role steeped in history, the first Governor took office in 1843, beginning of a period of continuous British oversight that was only interrupted in 1982 during the 74 days of Argentine occupation. Today the Governor has a very modern remit, set out in a series of continually updated acts of Parliament relating to the British Overseas Territories, but it is the tension with Argentina that still generates the greatest amount of attention in the islands.
Nigel's career in the Foreign Office began after three years in the Army. He has since served in Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Austria and Hungary. Between 2003 and 2008 he was UK Ambassador to Estonia and later Consul-General, Basra. He became Governor in 2010 as well as Commissioner for the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, a group of uninhabited islands in the South Atlantic with a total area of roughly 1,500 square miles. During his time on the Falkland Islands, provocations from Argentina's government, led by Christina Fernandez, have often made headline news.

Interview with David Abraham, CEO of Channel 4
June 18, 2013 June 18, 2013 ~ AshleyCoates	~ 1 Comment
The son of two immigrants, his mother was from Belgium and his father was from Calcutta, David Abraham grew up in rural Lincolnshire and Essex and went on to study History at Magdalen College, Oxford. Amazingly, David's application to study television at postgraduate level was turned down by Middlesex Polytechnic and he started a career in advertising after a friend suggested the industry might also provide him with the opportunity to be involved in creative work.
David co-founded the groundbreaking advertising agency, St. Luke's, which continues to work with major clients today. He moved out of advertising in 2001, becoming General Manager for Discovery in Europe and later joined UKTV as its Chief Executive. He is well known for having initiated the successful rebranding of the UKTV channels that saw the creation of the Dave, Alibi and Yesterday TV brands. David describes his career as having taken place in a series of roughly five to seven year periods, giving him time to learn and make a positive impact in each role. His advice is to stay in a role for long enough to have made a measurable achievement before moving onto the next challenge. More…

Q: Faster way to get substring in python? I am coding Skew Algorithm to construct the Suffix Array and I have a long string (length >= 4000).
In Skew Algorithm, I have to construct the Triples Array and Sub-strings Array.
For example : I have a string s = 'abcddd'.

*

*Triples Array is : 'abc', 'bcd', 'cdd', 'ddd'

*Sub-strings Array is : 'abcddd', 'bcddd', 'cddd', 'ddd', 'dd', 'd'
This is my solution :
import numpy as np

# example
string = 'abdcb.....' (length >= 4000)
temp = 'abdcb......###' (length >= 4000)

triples_arr = np.array([])
sub_strings = np.array([])

for i in range (0, len(temp) - 3):
    triples_arr = np.append(triples_arr, temp[i:i + 3])
    sub_strings = np.append(sub_strings, string[i:string_len])

With a long string (length >= 4000), it take a minute to complete.
Is there any solution that I can decrease the processing time of that task?

A: Using comprehensions, you can construct these strings faster than using a for loop:
Code:
triples_arr = [a_string[i:i+3] for i in range(0, len(a_string)-1)]
sub_strings = [a_string[i:] for i in range(len(a_string))]

Test Code:
a_string = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

triples_arr = [a_string[i:i+3] for i in range(0, len(a_string)-2)]
print(triples_arr)

sub_strings = [a_string[i:] for i in range(len(a_string))]
print(sub_strings)

Results:
['abc', 'bcd', 'cde', 'def', 'efg', 'fgh', 'ghi', 'hij', 'ijk', 'jkl',
 'klm', 'lmn', 'mno', 'nop', 'opq', 'pqr', 'qrs', 'rst', 'stu', 'tuv',
 'uvw', 'vwx', 'wxy', 'xyz']
['abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
 'cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
 'efghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
 'ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'hijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'ijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
 'jklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'klmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'lmnopqrstuvwxyz',
 'mnopqrstuvwxyz', 'nopqrstuvwxyz', 'opqrstuvwxyz', 'pqrstuvwxyz',
 'qrstuvwxyz', 'rstuvwxyz', 'stuvwxyz', 'tuvwxyz', 'uvwxyz',
 'vwxyz', 'wxyz', 'xyz', 'yz', 'z']

A: This may or may not work for you, but if you operate on bytes and memoryview objects instead of string objects, many optimizations become available. For example, it is very cheap to slice memoryviews.

A: What about without any external lib and without any loop ?
Triples_Array=[]
Sub_strings=[]

def hello(data):
    if not data:
        return 0
    triple=data[:3]
    Sub_strings.append(data)
    if len(triple)==3:
        Triples_Array.append(triple)

    return hello(data[1:])
print(hello('abcddd'))

print(Sub_strings)
print(Triples_Array)

output:
['abcddd', 'bcddd', 'cddd', 'ddd', 'dd', 'd']
['abc', 'bcd', 'cdd', 'ddd']

Barkas' identity for adult soft drink company Bitterschön takes you on a bittersweet nostalgia trip
BottleCoasterIdentityLabelPackaging (+17)
Copenhagen and Stockholm-based design practice Barkas have gone on quite the nostalgia trip in their identity for Austrian soft drink company Bitterschön, in terms of both aesthetic and concept – returning to an era before the introduction of heavily sugared carbonated drinks in the latter half of the 20th Century. Sans-additives, or any other nasty bits, the company aims to be an adult soft drink to be savoured with or without alcohol.
Approached with only an idea for a soft drink that isn't detrimental to the health of the planet or the body, and the accompanying tasty recipes to go with it, Barkas were also involved in the naming of the soft drink. Landing on an adjustment to the German phrase 'bitte schön', meaning 'you're very welcome' in English, the name appropriately refers to the tastiness of the drink and the manners of the brand's intention. To an extent, Barkas' typographic choices reflect this relationship; similarly to how the punch of the flavours compliments the gentle manner of the name, so too do the typographic pairing flatter one another.
Using Queens for the logomark provides an immediate confidence due to the elegance but innate quirk of the typeface. Tightly kerned in a light, compressed weight, the design creates an assured tension between the letterforms, inspired by the bittersweetness of the drink. "We decided to type the letters 'b' and 's' in italic," Barkas explain, in order to help "distinguish the brand name from the well-known German phrase 'bitte schön.'"
"A lot of the nostalgia in the Bitterschön brand lies in the use of various typefaces," Barkas note, in discussing the use of Editorial New as Queens' supporting act. Using four typefaces in total, with a mix of sans and serif, Bitterschön manages to successfully pull off the impressive task of consistency and cohesiveness – designing a delicate typography system that uses Neue Montreal and Lars, on top of the aforementioned serifs, without looking utterly chaotic. Instead the typefaces harmoniously sit together in an identity that is refined, fun and punchy.
Across the identity, product and packaging, there is a liberal use of geometric shapes in the presenting of information. In reference to traditional fruit stamps, the specific shapes are determined by Barkas' stylistic interpretations of the drink's flavours. "By adding sharp edges to a natural object," Barkas tell us, "we hint to the sharp, bitter taste of Bitterschön," adding that it's "a simple design system that's easy to expand further if new flavours are developed in the future."
Working directly with Bitterschön's founders, Barkas were also heavily involved with the production of the bottle. "An untraditional product called for an untraditional bottle, and therefore we ended up going with a small elegant bottle," Barkas explain, "the crafted texture on the label gave it an organic feel, while the black bottle cap added some sophistication to the overall look."
The refined system Barkas have put in place is future-focused; adjustable for any additions to Bitterschön's flavoursome family, to which they note "hopefully we will be involved in welcoming new members!"

Q: Magento: add attributes/columns to sales tables via install script What is the correct method of adding new attributes to the sales and/or quote tables in magento via an install script:

*

*use Mage_Sales_Model_Entity_Setup

*use Mage_Sales_Model_Resource_Setup
and then which of these methods to use:

*

*addColumn()

*addAttribute()
They all seem to allow new attributes to be added so i am wondering which is correct and why?

A: Looking at the code the differences are:
addColumn which comes from a DB\Adapter that is returned from getConnection in Mage_Sales_Model_Entity_Setup does nothing more than add a column to a table.
addAttribute in Mage_Sales_Model_Resource_Setup is only there to add a column if flat entities are enabled otherwise it's simply calling addAttribute in Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup which does a number of things including checking if the attribute already exists, validating the data, adding attribute options and inserting the attribute into the eav_attribute table.
To answer your question. Add column should probably only be used for adding columns to your own tables. You should probably be using attributes to extend the sales order and quote objects.
For an example of the correct way to add attributes search in Mage\Sales\sql\sales_setup for addAttribute.
Here's an example of one of mine:
$installer->addAttribute('order', 'your_attribute_name', array(
    'group'             => 'General', // Defaults to General
    'type'              => 'int',
    'default'           => 0,
    'grid'              => true,
    'required'          => false,
    'visible'           => true,
    'backend'           => '',
    'frontend'          => '',
    'label'             => 'My Attribute',
    'note'              => 'description goes here.',
    'input'             => 'select',
    'class'             => '',
    'source'            => 'eav/entity_attribute_source_boolean',
    'global'            => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
    'visible'           => true,
    'required'          => false,
    'user_defined'      => false,
    'default'           => 0,
    'searchable'        => false,
    'filterable'        => true,
    'comparable'        => false,
    'visible_on_front'  => false,
    'unique'            => false,
    'apply_to'          => 'simple,virtual,configurable,bundle',

UAE lodges complaint with UN over Qatar war planes
Reuters, Thursday 18 Jan 2018
The United Arab Emirates has lodged a complaint with the United Nations to sayQatari war planes intercepted its civilian aircraft in an unjustified escalation of a regional dispute, state news agency WAM said on Thursday.
The UAE said on Monday thatQatari air force jets had intercepted two UAE civilian aircraft on routine commercial flights to Bahrain.Qatarhas said the claims are "completely untrue".
The complaint was in the form of a note submitted to both the U.N. Security Council president and the U.N. General Assembly president. It said the interception was a threat to the safety of the civil flights a breach to the rules of international law, WAM reported.
The UAE, along with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, has imposed travel, diplomatic and trade sanctions onQatarsince last June, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
Qatardenies the charge and has accused the four countries of trying to make it conform to their foreign policy positions.
The UAE has bannedQatari aircraft from using its airspace as part of the restrictions imposed since June.Qatarhas not reciprocated.

or create or edit your workshop description.
But the most important thing to focus on should always be your content!
These options allow you to incorporate paragraph spacing, bold and italic phrasing, bulleted and numbered lists, links to other websites, and images from other websites within your text. Appropriate use of these tools will help you to better relay your message or story to your fellow HomeRefurbers.
After a recent bout with a dusty shop and outside temperatures too cold to open my garage door, I made the decision to try and incorporate hand planes into my woodworking. My extensive Lee Valley Wish List proved fruitful over the Christmas Holiday, and I found myself the proud owner of a Bullnose plane from Veritas Tools, Inc. Don't let its small size fool you – this little plane is versatile and easy to use, making it an integral part of any serious blended woodworker's toolbox. For starters, the Bullnose plane is really two planes in one. With the toe piece in place, it can be used in the capacity of its namesake (a bullnose plane); but a few turns of a brass knurled knob removes the toe piece and leaves you with a chisel plane. The design of this plane makes it comfortable to hold in either configuration. As a bullnose, this little plane excels at such tasks as cleaning up through rabbets, dados, and grooves. What about stopped rabbets, you ask? Remove that toe and there you go! The 40 degree cutting angle allows this plane to work well on end-grain, making it useful for cleaning up tenon shoulders, too! You can rest assured that all of these cuts will be true and square because of the precision milling of its sides and sole. For those of you with the need to know, the body is 4 ½" long and 1" wide, the blade is 1/8" thick and comes in either A2 or 01 tool steel, and it weighs in at just over 1 ¼ lb.
So what do you think? It's well written, I know, but it lacks visual interest. Why don't we jazz it up a bit, shall we?
Note: A word of warning about bold and italic formatting – don't over-use them! These features should be used sparingly for emphasis. If you bold every other word or sentence, you'll lessen the effects it can carry. It should also be noted that these are phrase modifiers, so they should be used within paragraphs (don't try to bold an image!).
And finally, I'd like the words "Veritas Tools, Inc." to hyperlink to the Veritas website. To do this, I highlight the text and click the Link button in the formatting toolbar. This opens up a dialog box where you can enter the URL (website) information. When I click OK to close that dialog box, the text I highlighted will appear in quotes, followed by a colon, followed by the website address.
This is a really big paragraph, and even if we strategically added hyperlinks and bolded and italicized text throughout, it would still be one big paragraph. In order to break it up into smaller paragraphs, you need to add a blank line wherever you want the division. To do that, place the cursor where you'd like the new paragraph to start and press the <Enter> key twice. I'm going to do that after the Veritas website hyperlink, after the sixth sentence, and after the eleventh sentence.
Wouldn't you like to know what the Veritas Bullnose plane looks like? Well, we can insert an image easily enough. I think it should go between the first two paragraphs, and since I always like to have a blank line separating my text and my imagery, I'll add two more line returns there by placing my cursor after the first paragraph and pressing the <Enter> key two more times.
Once that is done, I need to go out and grab the image location from the Veritas website. After I've navigated to the website and found the image, the way I copy that image will vary, depending upon the web browser I'm using. If I'm using Internet Explorer, I'll right-click on the image, select "Properties", highlight the image Address (URL), and copy it with <Ctrl> C or right-click Copy. If I'm using Firefox, I'll right-click on it and select "Copy Image Location".
After I return to my text and place my cursor where I want the image to display, I'll click on the Image button . This opens a dialog box asking me to enter the location of the image. The easiest way to do this is to right-click in the field and select "Paste". When I click OK, another dialog box asks for a description of the image. This will add a descriptive line of text to the image that will display when you mouse over it in the final version. I'll click OK one more time and a third dialog box opens, asking me to enter a hyperlink address if I want the image to hyperlink to a website.
and it weighs in at just over 1 ¼ lb.
* and it weighs in at just over 1 ¼ lb.
Just for some added interest, I'm going to go in and add a few more bold and italicized words, but the process is all the same.

The 2016 US Presidential Election saw some of the biggest payouts ever given with people winning thousands – even millions with some wagers – for their futures bet on Donald Trump to win the presidency. Now, with 2016 in the rear-view mirror, we turn our attention to the 2018 US Midterm Elections and the 2020 US Presidential Election and examine the odds while providing readers with only the most trusted sites for legal futures betting on political races and issues in the United States.
Below are the different kinds of odds available for betting on 2018 and 2020 United States political races and current issues. Our lines are taken from Bovada and will be updated regularly, to see more candidates and additional lines, click the links provided in the table above.
*Follow the link below for more odds and betting lines on USA political events including the 2020 Presidential Election, 2018 Senate Elections, 2018 Representative Elections, and 2018 Gubernatorial Elections.
Q: What is political futures betting?
A: Betting on futures when it comes to politics means placing your wager in advance at worse odds to receive a larger payout. The lower the odds, the bigger the payout and vice versa.
Q: Is it legal to bet on politics in the United States?
A: Yes. There is no US federal law preventing the use of legally licensed, offshore gambling websites. Each site at the top of the page has been reviewed and are among the best in the industry while being 100% legal, safe, and guarantee payouts for winning bets.
Q: Can I bet on US politics if I'm from another country?
A: It depends. The laws of every country are different, and some countries prohibit the use of offshore gambling websites while other countries allow it. Be sure to check the gambling laws of your country before betting on politics online.
Q: How old do you have to be place a futures bet on politics?
A: Age 18 or 21 is typically the standard age in countries across the world. Be sure to check the age requirement of your state if you live in the US and the age requirement of your country if you live outside the US.
Q: How are the odds determined on political futures?
A: Oddsmakers set an initial line, and then the public is allowed to place money on the odds. Once one side starts to see a lot of action, or most of the money placed, the odds will shift to encourage bettors to wager on the other side as the date of the outcome gets closer. The odds you bet on are locked in at the time of the bet and are not affected by any future changes to the odds.
Q: When is a political futures bet won or lost?
A: The outcome of a political bet is determined whenever the outcome becomes official and typically, this comes when the losing side concedes. However, small margins of victory can trigger a recount, depending on the law of the state in question. This could delay payouts since the votes will all need to be counted again – and sometimes multiple times like in the 2000 Presidential election – before an outcome is official and a winning bet can be paid out.


Protein is a source of dietary energy and an essential nutrient for healthy immune function and maintaining strong muscles. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, are sources of protein and other essential nutrients, but you might not like them or you might be unable to eat them because of lactose intolerance. Non-dairy alternatives can provide the protein and other nutrients you need on a dairy-free diet.
A 3-ounce portion of skinless stewed or roasted chicken or turkey breast contains about 27 grams of protein and is low fat. Remove the skin before cooking your chicken or turkey to reduce its saturated fat and cholesterol content. Saturated fat and cholesterol from food raise levels of cholesterol in your blood and may increase your risk for heart disease. Chicken breast with balsamic roasted vegetables and white turkey chili are two ideas for high-protein, dairy-free meals.
A 3-ounce serving of canned tuna has 17 grams of protein, and a 3-ounce serving of trout has 20 grams of protein. Fish are carbohydrate-free and sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines and mackerel, provide vitamin D, which is a nutrient that could be lacking in your diet if you do not drink vitamin D-fortified milk. Canned fish with bones, such as salmon, mackerel and anchovies, are sources of calcium, which is another nutrient in dairy products.
A 3-ounce portion of broiled beef top sirloin steak has 26 grams of protein, and a 3-ounce portion of pork tenderloin has 24 grams. These choices also provide iron and niacin, or vitamin B-3. Choose lean cuts of meat, such as tenderloin, and trim away visible fat before cooking to limit your intake of saturated fat. Limit consumption of processed meat, such as salami, bacon and sausage, because high consumption can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease.
A quarter-cup of roasted mature soy beans, or soy nuts, has 9 grams of protein, and a quarter-cup of edamame, or green soybeans, has 8 grams of protein. The University of Michigan lists tofu, tempeh and soy milk and yogurt as sources of protein. Many soy products also provide calcium. Black, pinto, garbanzo, navy and other beans, lentils and split peas are sources of protein and dietary fiber, which can lower your cholesterol levels. Nuts and peanuts supply protein, heart-healthy unsaturated fats and fiber.


'Cause I sure haven't! Maybe it's because the hubby was gone, or because I've been sleep deprived, or general doldrums--but whatever the reason, my creative juices were NOT flowing this week.
I made these two layouts, but I don't like them that much. I was debating even posting them, but it's all part of the artistic process, right?
So if you happen to see good old Mo slinking around central New Jersey, do send him over.
And that I want him back BADLY!
I would get one of these.
Oh, heck. I would get one of these.
I would buy all of Lisa Leonard's necklaces. Every single stinkin' one. And then wear them all at the same time!
I'd buy all of the Studio Calico kits every month. And then a scrapbook storage room to house them.
I'd get all sorts of pretty little numbers, like corsage necklaces.
If I had a million dollars, I could have everything I've ever needed to be really, really happy.
Well, I don't actually have a dozen layouts. I have four. But considering we had houseguests all weekend, that's pretty good!
The page above is an ode to Anthropologie. Before I got into scrapbooking, I didn't fully appreciate Anthro's wonders. But now, I walk through the store sighing and gazing and wistfully examining price tags. I never really buy anything (most items violate my student-budget $30 rule) but I leave inspired.
This next one records my husband's anniversary gift to me and what it meant.
And now we have an "ode to mist." Love the stuff. The pink looked really red in the bottle (S commented the sink resembled a murder scene) but it actually does spray pink, thankfully.
To get this effect, I placed the frames backwards on the paper--that way they could still be used on a page later. I want to hoard each and every one of those precious frames.
Abbsparks over at Studio Calico inspired me with her 8.5 by 11 page featuring this doily paper, so I went off that and changed up the design and other products. Those Sass felties are almost too pretty to use, but use them I must!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Any exciting plans? I'm also looking out for some good books, if you have any recommendations!
Etsy is so full of color and design inspiration--here are few of the things that are inspiring me right now!
The flowers above are from evalicious, one of my favorite etsy shops. Her scrapbooking embellishments are so pretty!
I recently purchases some of these (in teal, lagoon, sand, powder pink, and one more I'm forgetting) to make our bedroom more fun and romantic and less functional. I figure hanging pom poms should accomplish that.
Now, wouldn't you like to receive a package tied this way? I certainly would. So pretty!
I was looking at these hair clips over and over for a few days, during which my sweet hubby surprised me by buying them! They are beautiful in person and I can't wait to wear them with a dressy outfit on Shabbat.
I'll be back in a day or two with new layouts--I'm waiting for good light to photograph them!
Is there still a lot of snow where you live? Did you have a good Valentine's Day? I love getting to know blog readers, so come say hi!
This page is a little more personal, and has flowers on it because I was in a flower mood. Very sophisticated design process here.
This next one I started out LOVING and then HATING. My husband suggested I put it away for a while and let the poor thing regain its' self esteem. Do you all ever have it happen that you just can't stand a page? I also made it with a design team call in mind, which only exacerbates the whole thing. Oy vey.
I also have been thinking about my whole angst about publishing pages--when I got a page picked up by Scrapbook Trends last months, I was over the moon. Then, I got a call this month for the Stamping book but none for the issue itself, even though I emailed it tons of pages I really loved. It's hard to step back and not take things personally sometimes. It also shows how when it comes to looking for some sort of external validation, nothing will ever be enough. It just has to come from the inside.
I'm back from Mexico! The wedding was beautiful, the skies were blue, the sand was soft.....ok, I'll stop now. New Jersey has its perks too.
I used the January Studio Calico kit, Whodunit, to make this mini album summarizing 2009, which was also our first year of marriage.
I also made this quick wall hanging, inspired by the wonderful Becky Novacek. It took 5 minutes (with the help of Mr. Slicey) and I love how it turned out!
In other news, I'm getting the results of my fertility bloodwork tomorrow, so hopefully I will have some good tidings to share!
I'm in withdrawal from not scrapping enough these past few weeks. Unfortunately, my law school professors do not seem to understand my need for more time cutting up paper in a happy little mess. Sigh.
This is the latest creation I've managed to make out of 20 minute spurts of time. My husband calls me his ray of sunshine, and since that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside I wanted to get it down on a page. I used Maya Mist in sunflower on this one, along with paper scraps from Studio Calico's January kit, Whodunit. I added in a thicker alphabet that was in an older kit.
Hope you are all having a fabulous week! The hubster and I are off to Cancun for a cousin's wedding at the end of the week, so if I seem to fall of the face of the earth, that's why!


Nice looking 1950s Danelectro U1 w/original coffin case. Seller states it's completely original, no issues, mods or repairs, just honest wear. We don't often see these with come up with the case. Love the pickups on these. Gotta put on some live Zeppelin (Right, thats a DC). Very cool.

Please join author Timothy L. O'Brien as he tours with Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours for his historical thriller novel, The Lincoln Conspiracy, from October 29 – December 7!
A nation shattered by its president's murder.
Two diaries that reveal the true scope of an American conspiracy.
A detective determined to bring the truth to light, no matter what it costs him.
In late spring of 1865, as America mourns the death of its leader, Washington, D.C., police detective Temple McFadden makes a startling discovery. Strapped to the body of a dead man at the B&O Railroad station are two diaries, two documents that together reveal the true depth of the Lincoln conspiracy. Securing the diaries will put Temple's life in jeopardy–and will endanger the fragile peace of a nation still torn by war.
Temple's quest to bring the conspirators to justice takes him on a perilous journey through the gaslit streets of the Civil War-era capital, into bawdy houses and back alleys where ruthless enemies await him in every shadowed corner. Aided by an underground network of friends–and by his wife, Fiona, a nurse who possesses a formidable arsenal of medicinal potions–Temple must stay one step ahead of Lafayette Baker, head of the Union Army's spy service. Along the way, he'll run from or rely on Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's fearsome secretary of war; the legendary Scottish spymaster Allan Pinkerton; abolitionist Sojourner Truth; the photographer Alexander Gardner; and many others.
Bristling with twists and building to a climax that will leave readers gasping, The Lincoln Conspiracy offers a riveting new account of what truly motivated the assassination of one of America's most beloved presidents–and who participated in the plot to derail the train of liberty that Lincoln set in motion.

Diocèse de Buea
Cathédrale de Buea
The History of the Catholic Church in Buea Diocese
It started as far back as 1842 when Pope Gregory XVI established the mission of the two Guineas that included Gabon and Cameroon. In 1846, when the area was erected as an Apostolic Prefecture with its See in Libreville, Cameroon was to remain within its jurisdiction. The missionaries of the Congregation of The Holy Spirit entrusted with the Apostolic Prefecture of the two Guineas limited their activities to Gabon Cameroon then remained outside the Catholic missionary activity. In 1880, two Polish traders, Mr. Roozinski and Janikowski who established in Bota invited the Spanish Jesuits who were working in Fernando Po to Cameroon. Attempts were made to found a mission in Cameroon though this was temporary halted by the political event of the time. Then in 1890 the Pallotine Fathers took the challenge to evangelise Cameroon with the arrival of Mgr. Heinrich Vieter, Father George Walter, five Brothers and one Seminarian at Douala on October 25, 1890.
Four years later in 1894 the Pallotine Fathers opened Bonjongo, the first parish in Buea Diocese. Within the next 16 years they opened four other parishes: Ikassa 1906, Sasse 1907, Bota 1908, and Ossing 1912 respectively. In 1912 the then West Cameroon, today North-West and South-West Regions were handed over to the Sacred Heart Fathers of the German Province who consequently took over Ossing from the Pallotine Fathers in June 1913. The First World War brought the mission work of the Sacred Heart Fathers to a halt because the Germans had to leave Cameroon.
After the departure of the German Fathers, the Church was kept alive by a faithful band of Catechists under the leadership of Sango Mathias Effiem. In 1917, the Vatican asked Mgr. Shanahan, Prefect Apostolic of Eastern Nigeria, to take charge of Cameroon West of Mungo. It was not until 1918 that he made a four-month trek through the Cameroons.
The First World War ended in 1918 thus ushering a new chapter in missionary activity in the British Cameroon. Rome through the Prefect of Propaganda Fide, took up contact with the Mill Hill Fathers of St. Joseph's Society London to take up the work and property of the German Pallotine Fathers in Southern Cameroons. All these negotiations lasted till November 1921 when Fr. John William Campling, a Scottish Mill Hill Priest as leader with Fathers Ben Robinson, Michael Morgan and William O'Kelly, were asked to take over missionary work in the Southern Cameroons. This team of Mill Hill Missionaries landed at Victoria, Bota on March 25, 1922. Pa Sango Mathias Effiem was on hand to welcome them. Two stayed in Bota, one in Bonjongo and one in Sasse. In March 1923 Sango Mathias Effiem came to Soppo with Fr. John Campling, Fr. Morgan and Soppo which was formally a German Military Camp was opened as a mission. In December 1922 British Cameroons was made into a Prefecture and on August 16, 1923 Fr. John Campling became the first Prefect.
Fr. Peter Rogan took over from Mgr. John Campling in 1925. The Christian population at that time stood at about 40,000 and the first mission to be opened under him was Baseng in 1926. The first Soppo Church turned into Cathedral started in 1927 and completed in 1928. He championed the opening of schools in the parish centers. Then followed by the vernacular school system and by 1937 over 43 vernacular schools had been opened. The first Secondary School for boys in the Southern Cameroons was opened in Bonjongo in 1938 against heavy opposition from the colonial government. It was transferred to Sasse the following year 1939. In the meantime the faith was spreading and missions were being opened in Tiko in 1929, Okoyong in 1934, Fiango in 1936, Mbetta in 1937, Mbonge and Muyuka in 1943 and Tombel in 1947. Teacher Training Colleges and other Secondary Schools were opened. Mgr. Rogan was committed to the training of the diocesan clergy. Thus the Holy Family Junior Seminary Sasse, was opened in 1947 and graduates from there were sent to Bigard Memorial Seminary Enugu, Nigeria for final training into the priesthood. The pioneer Diocesan Fathers were Aloysius Wankuy ordained in 1949, Lucas Atang 1956, James Toba, Ivo Ndichia and Henry Mesue ordained in 1958 and Clement Ndze ordained in 1960.
0n April 18, 1950, Pope Puis XII raised Buea to a Diocese with Mgr. Peter Rogan as it first Bishop. From that time up to October 1, 1961, the date of West Cameroon Political Independence, Buea was a suffragan See of Onitsha Archdiocese in Nigera. With the independence and the reunification of Cameroon, Buea Diocese became a suffragan See of Yaounde Archdiocese till Bamenda was erected to a Metropolitan See. Mgr. Jules Peeters took over from Bishop Rogan August 24, 1962 when he was consecrated as the second Bishop of Buea. He made outstanding contribution to the advancement of Pastoral Work – the idea of the Conventions beginning with the first one in 1967 at Fiango, the formation of Parish Councils. He founded the diocesan indigenous religious congregation, Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus in 1963. He paved the way for the creation of the Diocese of Bamenda with territory detached from the Diocese of Buea.
Mgr. Pius Suh Awa who was consecrated Co-Adjutor Bishop of Buea on May 30, 1971 with the right of succession actually took over from Bishop Jules Peeters as the first indigenous Bishop on January 29, 1973. He founded the Congregation of the Brothers of St. Martin De Porres in 1985.
In 1999, at the request of Bishop Awa, Mamfe Diocese was created with territory detached from Buea and Mgr. Francis Teke Lysinge became the first Bishop of Mamfe.
With the retirement of Bishop Awa on November 30, 2006, Bishop Immanuel Bushu was installed on January 30, 2007. He consecrated the Diocese to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Divine Mercy. On March 15, 2016, Buea Diocese gave birth to another diocese, the Diocese of Kumba with Mgr. Agapitus Nfon, as its first Bishop.
The Buea Diocese now covers only Fako Division with a surface area of 2093 square kilometers. It has 34 parishes and 80 Diocesan Priests and over 15 Religious Priests serving the people of God.

Antennaria corymbosa is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common names flat-top pussytoes or meadow pussytoes. It is native to western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan) and the Western United States south as far as Tulare County in California and Rio Arriba County in New Mexico. It grows in moist, cool areas such as mountain meadows and riverbanks. Most of the populations are found in the Rocky Mountains, the Cascades, and the Sierra Nevada.

Antennaria corymbosa is a small perennial herb growing from a basal patch of thin, gray, woolly, spoon-shaped leaves one or two centimeters long. It produces several erect stems no more than 15 centimeters tall, each holding an inflorescence of several flower heads. It is dioecious, with male and female plants producing different types of flower heads, which are generally similar in appearance. Each head has a surface of dark-dotted white phyllaries and contains tiny individual flowers. Female flowers yield fruits which are achenes no more than a millimeter long, not counting the soft pappus of 3 or 4 millimeters.

Guilford County school board passes proposal allowing for short-term suspension appeals
by Sayaka Matsuoka
The Guilford County school board passed a proposal that
formalizes a process for parents and students to appeal short-term suspensions.
The Guilford County school board voted 5-4 on Tuesday
evening to allow for parents and students to appeal short-term suspensions in
the school district.
The decision, which has been met with both fierce opposition as well as steadfast support, allows parents and students to appeal decisions by assistant principals or principals to the principal's supervisor or the school support officer, and then appeal that decision to the superintendent's designee. If parents and students wish to appeal further, they can take their case all the way up to the superintendent level, although those cases will be rare, according to the chief of schools, Tony Watlington.
According to details outlined by the school district,
parents and students can appeal if the short-term suspension (10 days or less)
was issued in error; based on unsubstantiated allegations or a personal
conclusion; in violation of the student's rights under the individuals with
disabilities act; or was in violation or inconsistent with the school board's
Code of Conduct.
Dozens of speakers and supporters packed the school board
meeting room on Tuesday, resulting in an overflow crowd and a line out the door
before the meeting had even started.
The proposal was first voted on during the Oct. 10 school-board meeting when board members voted 6-3 to seek public comment on the policy for 30 days. During that period, the district received more than 100 messages expressing both support and opposition to the changes. In other public forums, parents and community members started opposing petitions which garnered thousands of signatures.
During Tuesday's board meeting, 37 speakers talked during the public comments portion to either support or oppose the proposal. Of the 37 who spoke about the proposal, a majority — 29 speakers — spoke out in favor of the changes.
A number of public officials including High Point city council-elect members Michael Holmes and Tyrone Johnson spoke in favor of the proposal. Guilford County commissioner Skip Alston, former school board member Dot Kearns and state house representative Amos Quick III all supported the changes as well.

John Moyle of Greensboro pointed out a worry regarding
safety in schools that many of those opposing the proposal mentioned during the
public comment period.
"This has the potential to have a significant effect on
students," Moyle said. "Any change we make seems to imply the chance for some
risks. If we're gonna move schools forward, we're gonna have to make change. I
don't think that the simple fact that there are risks associated with this
doesn't mean we shouldn't pass it. I think the risks in this case are small."
Many of the speakers in support of the appeals process
emphasized the need for due process for students and pointed out the racial
disparities of discipline in schools.
UNCG professor Crystal Dixon spoke about the disparities found
in discipline within the school district based on race and pointed out that
black students missed an average of six days on average based on data from 2017,
while white students missed four.
"Today, we have the collective opportunity to mitigate this disparity and the power to empower all students to appeal suspension decisions," Dixon said.
"All parents should have the right to protect their child's future if they feel like they were wrongly disciplined. Today, we have an opportunity to serve as a statewide example of what accountability looks like."
Below is data from the 2017-2018 school year for the Guilford County school district.
By passing the new changes, Guilford County Schools became
the first public school district in the state to have an appeals process for
short-term suspensions. Appeals for long-term suspensions already exist in the
district.
Before the board voted on the measure, a panel of school
principals who were involved with creating the new procedure for the changes
were brought to the dais to answer any questions that board members might have.
Board member T. Dianne Bellamy-Small simply asked, "Will this policy help you make clearer decisions?" Board member Linda Welborn asked about the potential for an increase in workload for principals.
Shirley Stipe-Zendle, the principal at Morehead Elementary
School cited work that she did for her dissertation that involved studying more
than 5,000 calls from parents to schools. She said that what she found was that
more often than not, parents just wanted someone to listen to them.
"All calls would not result in appeals," Stipe-Zendle said
at the board meeting. "As far as more work, your best principals are already
doing the work on the front end…. We didn't find that principals are resisting
Mike Hettenbach, the principal at Southwest Guilford High
School spoke about the need for the change to maintain accountability amongst
principals like himself.
"I enjoy being called out if they think I'm wrong," he said.
"That's a great healthy conversation and I feel like I've got a great relationship with my community. I think that's what it's about and I think they'll trust you more in the long run."
Board member Pat Tillman expressed concern that there is already due process in the schools and that this new policy would add extra work for school administrators. While some principals do have an informal appeals process at their schools, board members who supported the measure such as Khem Irby and Bellamy-Small cited the need for a formal process so that all parents could access the same level of transparency.
When asked by Tillman how often principals have reversed
decisions because of appeals, Shayla Savage, the principal at Union Hill
Elementary, responded that it is inevitable because principals are human.
"We are human," she said. "We make lots of mistakes. We have
good days, we have bad days…. When parents know that you do what's in the best
interest of their child, they're gonna always give you the benefit of the
doubt. When I get it wrong, I want to make it right because ultimately I want
to make sure that I'm not doing anything that's gonna negatively impact a
child's life."

The chapter begins with the acceptance of the proposition, "organisms are complex systems." Organisms are from organisms, because formation of an organism requires a lot of prerequisite conditions; complex systems are included in a class of systems that require a lot of indispensable preconditions (fundamental conditions) for their formation (ontogeny). Fundamental conditions are prepared by a long time evolution process, so organisms cannot self-organize; self-organizing systems cannot be complex. Thus, to aim at conceptual analysis of and establishing of phenomenology of fundamental conditions must be a key task of the genuine complex systems studies. To this end we must pay due attention to actual biological systems. It is obvious that the so-called complex systems studies studied mostly pseudocomplex systems. The chapter concludes with some preliminary but general phenomenological observations about evolution of fundamental conditions (e.g., how complexity evolves) and about organisms.

AMERICAN LAWYER REVIEW: Legal Artistry: Courthouse Drama Drawn in Real Time
Legal Artistry:
Courthouse Drama Drawn in Real Time
Michael D. Goldhaber, The American Lawyer May 29, 2014
The U.S. Supreme Court famously remains a holdout against cameras in the courtroom, and so do most other federal courts. This may be hard to defend as a matter of policy, but it has preserved a space for the unsung art of courtroom illustrators.
Published in May by CUNY Journalism Press, "The Illustrated Courtroom: 50 Years of Court Art," by artist Elizabeth Williams and crime writer Sue Russell, is a raucous celebration of five practitioners of this endangered workaday art. The moments captured here include everything, as one artist put it, "from celebrities, spies, terrorists, corporate corruption, political scandals, killers, mass murderers, celebrity custody hearings, to sex scandals, child molestation cases and military court martials." It's lucky the publisher was dissuaded from making this a children's book, as originally intended.
Court artists rival war correspondents as raconteurs, and grabbing details lurk on every page. Music fans may be stunned to hear that Black Panther Afeni Shakur was eight months pregnant with Tupac Shakur when acquitted of attempted murder. Anyone who has gone through the security checkpoints of today's courthouses will be bemused to learn that the Manson family members were permitted to carry long hunting knives into court so long as they were not concealed.
Here is a perfect match of artists and subjects: Elizabeth Williams on Martha Stewart and dapper John Gotti, Howard Brodie on Jack Ruby and the Watergate plumbers, Aggie Kenny on Jackie O. and Oliver North, Bill Robles on O.J. Simpson and Richard Tomlinson capturing a young David Boies.
Lawyers who treasure beauty should root for the Luddites in the courtroom camera debate. Court TV has been called many things, but it's never been called art.

AMERICAN LAWYER REVIEW: Legal Artistry: Courthouse...


Visit the British Museum on this 3-hour private tour. With your own art historian guide, explore the British Museum, one of the world's greatest historical treasure troves, as you wish. As British Museum tours go, it's ideal for getting a personalized perspective on the collections and highlights such as the Parthenon sculptures.
Meet your art historian guide near the British Museum and go inside to start your private tour. When you book, list any special interests you have, such as art, history or culture, so your private guide can prepare your personalized tour in advance.
One of the world's premier museums — on a par with Paris' Louvre and New York's Metropolitan museum — this world-famous institution houses a vast collection of historical artifacts and art across more than 70 galleries.
With your guide providing enlightening commentary throughout, stroll around to discover some of the museum's highlights. View treasures such as the Parthenon frieze from the Acropolis at Athens; the fabled Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies; and check out more of the artifacts and sections as you wish.
A terrific day with a great tour guide! Such a big museum but one that needed to have someone as knowledgeable as our guide to weave through the exhibits to focus on what's important to our family!
La visita estuvo bien, recorrimos lo principal del museo. La guia no fue de lo mejor y sobretodo con los niños. Hemos tenido experiencias mucho mejores y mas con lo que es el British Museum.
Our guide was most knowledgeable on all the arttifacts and exhibits we reviewed in the museum. He answered virtually every question we posed in depth. We did take issue with an 18 minute delay when he showed up late with a brusk , sorry for the delay and we were off. He also literally left us behind several times because our senior bodies could not keep up the pace. Overall, we had a great time, marred only by the Incidents cited .
This place is AWESOME. How else to describe the amazing privilege to stand next to human artifacts cutting stones used on an axe or the like that date back 400,000 that's right, four hundred thousand years before Christ. Or to be able to take a selfie next to a bust of Julius Ceasar! The antiquities portion of this museum is incomparable. Full disclosure: Betty did not enjoy TBM as much as Jim.
Excellent guide for the British Museum. Rosa took extra time in explaining the history to our12 year old. She was very patient and knowledgeable!! We all learned a great deal!
Good tour. Guide was organized and knowledgeable. Would have given 5 stars, however he seemed a little detached. I have had other guides who we're much more personable.
Excellent tour! I highly recommend getting a tour guide.
Tour seems pricey, especially after you meet your diminutive guide with her heavy accent, but she is a treasure. She quickly found out what the three of us were interested in, and made sure we saw it, told us stories about it, AND ensured we saw the prize of the museum. Wonderful experience.
This was everything we could have hoped for. The guide was outstanding allowing us to see and understand things we might not have otherwise. Well worth the price.
I posted this review already. It was an excellent tour. Excellent guide and I look forward to trying the service again! Jeff Amos.

Take a Grand Tour of the World's Great Tattoos
by Sarah Laskow September 17, 2015
Take a Grand Tour of the World's Great Tattoos

A Grand Tour of Tattooing, hitting all the highlights, might start in New York and end in Montreal. But in between, it would circle the world.
You'd travel to San Francisco, Japan, Beijing, St. Petersburg, and Berlin, before doubling back through Johannesburg, Jerusalem, India, and Bangkok. You'd have to swing down to New Zealand on your way back across the Pacific, and from there to Buenos Aires, up through Mexico City, and finally to Canada, just a little bit north of where you started.
On that trip, you'd see dozens of traditional local tattoo styles—but probably not in the places you expect. You might meet Jill "Horiyuki" Bonny, who specializes in classic Japanese tattoos, in San Francisco, and Dmitry Babakhin, who focuses on Polynesian blackwork designs, in St. Petersburg. In India, you could visit Obi, who grew up in Kolkata and still works there, if only part-time; he can also be found in Mumbai, Germany, and Norway, and his style mixes "traditional Bengali folk art with dotwork and other contemporary blackwork influences." In New Zealand, Steve Ma Ching, who was born there but lived in Western Samoa until he was a teenager, updates traditional Samoan designs with modern techniques. In Montreal, Safwan, a Cairo-born artist, does work influenced by traditions of both Western and Japanese tattooing.
This is just a taste of the current geography of tattooing, as documented in The World Atlas of Tattoo, a new book by tattoo historian and body art scholar Anna Felicity Friedman. "It is a dense, dense book," she says. The chapter introductions alone "synthesize thousands of years of history across the entire globe."

Not so long ago, distinct tattoo traditions were flourishing all over the world. Then, as it did with so many traditions, European colonization eradicated many of them, often with great zeal. In today's world, there are two geographical stories to tell about state of tattooing. One is the revival of indigenous tattoo traditions, in or near the places where they once thrived. The other is the explosion of a contemporary style, in which artists from all over the world influence each other not just through the internet but also by traveling themselves to other studios and to conventions, itinerant students of the art.
Some tattoo styles are still strongly associated with their place of origin. Black and gray tattooing that began in barrios in the U.S. southwest, from California to Texas, still thrives there. The elaborate designs of dragons, flowers, fish, lion-dogs, and demons that became popular in 18th and 19th century Japan are still considered quintessentially Japanese designs, and you can still get San Francisco-style blackwork in San Francisco.
And not all tattoo traditions are easily accessible in every place where tattoos can be had. "Chicago is one of my great examples," says Friedman. "You don't see a lot of people wearing blackwork here, and and there aren't a lot of artists working in that style in Chicago. And there's only one really good artist working in Japanese style."

But there are also artists inspired by ideas from halfway around the world, while putting their own region's influences into their work. Popular culture and the internet drove much of this cross-pollination. "There are a few traditions that are specifically tied to place, in terms of origins. But they get dispersed so quickly that it becomes difficult to track," says Friedman. "We get this incredible explosion of practices in all these different genres in most major cities of the world."
Jordanian artist Huzz, for instance, first saw tattoos on the TV show Kung Fu: the Legend Continues. Once he started tattooing, he quickly developed a reputation as the first real tattoo artist in Amman. His designs sometimes feature Arabic script, a practice that grew from local religious and cultural ideas about what sort of marks are appropriate on the body. But, as Friedman writes in the book, his practice reached, in his words, "a different level" after he traveled to his first tattoo convention—in China.

Even in this hyper-globalized art world, though, there are practitioners whose art is deeply rooted in a particular place. In Darwin, Australia, for instance, Julia Mage'au Gray uses hand-poking and hand-tapping methods to give women traditional tattoos, updated for her modern clients. "I rework their family tattoos on to their bodies," she told Friedman. "The designs are about identifying women, ultimately to show their worth."
It's counterintuitive, but some artists working to revitalize old traditions are actually working off documents left behind by the explorers, colonialists, and missionaries who helped destroy these traditions to begin with. More benign travelers also helped spread and continue different tattoo traditions. The World Atlas of Tattoo includes stories of medieval and Renaissance pilgrims to the Holy Land who returned with tattoos commemorating their journeys, and 19th-century American tourists who came back from Japan with large full-body tattoos.

"We keep recycling these myths and tired tropes about tattooing that are based upon this particular anachronistic view of the history that's just not true," says Friedman. "Tattoos are not just for sailors; Captain Cook did not bring tattooing back to the west." Her next project is a new Center for Tattoo History and Culture that will aim to support tattoo scholarship and better inform the public about the true history of tattooing: that almost everywhere humans have been, they've tried marking their bodies in this way.
"There's no indigenous tattooing in Antarctica," Friedman notes. But, even though the continent's not in the new book, there has been tattooing done there: just last year, the tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle became the first person to tattoo on all seven continents.

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce midfielder Nil Vinyals has signed a new multi-year contract with the club, pending league and federation approval.
"Nil has been a very good player for us over the past two seasons," Kickers' Chief Sporting Officer and Head Coach, Darren Sawatzky said. "We are looking to build on the style of play here and continually get better in how we attack teams and work to control the tempo of games. Nil has the ability to change the game with tempo and with flair in the way he finds players on the field. We are looking for Nil to continue to serve up players and also find his place on the scoresheet in 2023."

Vinyals recommits to the Kickers following a successful first two seasons with the club during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The Barcelona native's contributions on the offensive side of the ball in 2022 were imperative in the Kickers setting the new USL League One regular-season goal-scoring record with 54 goals. Vinyals led the team and finished tied for third in the league with 55 created chances while scoring five goals and dishing out five assists.
Since joining in 2021, Vinyals has created 106 total chances across 56 league appearances and 51 starts along with 7 goals and 10 assists.
"Signing a second contract with the Kickers is a testament to how much I've enjoyed the city, people, and culture in Richmond for these past two years," Vinyals said. "It means a lot to be back at the club that trusted me since the start.
"Thanks to the coaching staff and my teammates, I've been able to grow tremendously both on and off the field, attaining a consistency that I've been working towards for years."

The Kickers began their 2022 regular-season title charge with an exclamation point in the season opener as Vinyals led the way with a brace and an assist during a 4-0 demolition of FC Tucson. After scoring the second and third goals on either side of halftime, Vinyals set up Matthew Bentley for the final goal of the night in the 81st minute.
Vinyals was awarded USL League One Player of the Week for Week 1 following his performance. He finished the season with four additional placements in the league's team of the week.
Now, he looks to continue enhancing the Kickers' attack in his third season in Richmond as the club prepares to defend and improve upon its 2022 regular-season title.
"I am looking to keep helping the club build a brand of football that is able to entertain and inspire the Richmond community," Vinyals said. "I have no doubt that my personal performance will continue to improve if the team strives to dominate games with the ball."
He concluded, "I would like to thank the Red Army and the whole Richmond community for last year's unconditional support. We will build on that and hope to entertain them even more in the years to come."
Per club policy, the details of the contract will not be made public.
The 2023 season will be here before you know it! Kickers fans can get ready now by placing a $100 deposit for a 2023 season ticket. With one additional regular season match and two new opponents joining USL League One in 2023, City Stadium will be the place to be!

Here we have Pusheen as a cook/baker and her sister Stormy along to help! They make the best stuff in the kitchen!
This supercute Pusheen is eating chippies. It is so funny, because the little bag actually does make chip bag sounds when you press it! LOL.
This was my bed a couple of months ago. I Pusheen-ified it with some stuff I got from the Pusheen Subscription Box, with some bedding from PBTeen and various other things. The cow painting in the corner was done by my good friend Zach. He sells his stuff on Etsy too! Please check him out!
This is the supercute Book-sheen. I believe she was only available through limited bookstores. She's ready to go with her cup of java and her reading material! Loooove!!!
OMG! Squee! I had to get this supercute cheeky hamster! It is one of the Pusheen animals, and his cheeks are super puffed! hahaha. He isn't very big, but he's full of cuteness!


The Sihlwald cinema has been a popular attraction within the Zurich Wilderness Park for 17 years. In 2015, over 2,000 movie enthusiasts visited the traditional open-air cinema not far from our headquarters in Adliswil. Generali is working hard to ensure that this special outdoors movie-going experience continues. From this year we will be providing financial support for the event.
Every year in late summer, this extraordinary open-air cinema combines cinematic pleasure with the natural environment in a single unique experience. In an open-sided, covered hall, movie-goers can visit in all weathers to enjoy film highlights both old and new. From child-friendly fairytales through light comedies to challenging cultural cinema, every taste is catered for. To ensure that film-lovers both young and old will continue to benefit from this event, Generali is taking over as chief sponsor of the open-air cinema for the next three years.
Because we are a large company and have a social responsibility, the promotion of cultural activities has a special significance for us. We are committed to open interaction and a multi-faceted society. Culture creates both: it connects people and broadens horizons. As a leading Swiss insurance provider, we place emphasis on local commitment. In addition to the Sihltal running race in the spring, Generali is now supporting another event in the Adliswil region, the location of one of our two headquarters in Switzerland.
We are pleased to be able to offer movie buffs and nature lovers more unforgettable evenings at the cinema. All that remains for us to say is: Action!


Jerry Paffendorf destroys $72 American dollars with the express purpose of reselling it for more, a new world record. He began shredding the bills with a blender, but ultimately resorted to ripping the bills by hand. Paffendorf now plans to sell the creation as an artwork on eBay, with a starting price of $73.
Paffendorf performed the feat on February 17, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society event at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco, California. Dan Rollman and Debbie Hampton were present as witnesses.

Scott, Grassley, Ernst, Lankford Renew Call For Passage of Walter Scott Notification Act
Legislation reintroduced today would require states to report on officer-involved shootings
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) was joined by Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Senator James Lankford (R-OK) in reintroducing the Walter Scott Notification Act. This critical legislation requires states receiving federal law enforcement funding to report a number of details surrounding officer-related shootings.
"My heart is broken over the events of the last week, from the needless murder of George Floyd, to the tragic death of retired St. Louis police captain David Dorn," Senator Scott said. "When it comes to race and justice in this nation, solutions are needed now. I want to thank Chairman Grassley and Senators Ernst and Lankford for joining me in reintroducing the Walter Scott Notification Act. The fact is, without proper data in regards to officer-related shootings, we cannot find lasting solutions in this area. I will continue working in the coming weeks to introduce new solutions around race, justice, and ensuring people of all colors and economic classes have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream."
"Anytime a law enforcement officer uses deadly force, it's a tragedy. Our nation is rightly disturbed and angry about abuses at the hands of police. The sad reality is that sometimes, deadly force is justified to protect our communities. We need to better understand instances of deadly force to address any abuses and improve law enforcement's ability to serve all of us. The data collected under this legislation will help law enforcement, lawmakers and the public learn more about these events and prevent them in the future," Grassley said.
"The murder of George Floyd was a preventable tragedy. It's clear that we have recurring issues of police officers abusing their authority. We need to know all the facts surrounding these horrific events, and one step in doing that is to require oversight and transparency from any police department that receives federal funding," said Senator Ernst, member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"Our nation is hurting and crying out to fix underlying systemic injustices that have existed for far too long," said Lankford. "While no one bill or law will fix racism and heal our land, we should continue to take positive steps to create transparency to build trust and understanding. It is essential that individuals continue to reach out to others, stand up with compassion to injustice, and finally learn the ugly lessons of our past."
Under the proposed legislation, states would be required to keep track of a number of data points, including name, race, description of event, and overall circumstances that led up to the weapon being discharged. A state that fails to comply with the prescribed requirements could be subject to a ten percent reduction in federal grant funds.
Senator Scott first introduced the Walter Scott Notification Act following the murder of Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina in 2015. He has reintroduced the bill a number of times since, including as an amendment to the criminal justice reform package passed by Congress in December 2018.
