RENT Returns for 25th Anniversary
Enjoy A 'Season of Love' this Summer with RENT The Musical
Sydney, Dec 27-Jan 31 & Wyong, Feb 4-6
In 1996 a new kind of rock musical launched off-Broadway when RENT opened, and its global success paved the way for future exciting contemporary musical theatre.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of RENT, a new Australian production will play at the Sydney Opera House and Wyong Art House this summer, presented in association with LPD Productions and Sugary Rum Productions.
Jonathan Larson's multiple Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning sensation is more relevant today than ever before. After a year of social, physical and emotional turmoil, a brand new Australian production of RENT will bring our community back together with its rebellious premiere this summer.
RENT is the story of one life-changing year, set in the iconic city of New York in 1991.
Join the bohemian revolution as this group of artists, outcasts and misfits seize their moment in the face of adversity and measure their life through love. Celebrate the 25th anniversary of this global musical phenomenon with a never more prevalent message: "no day but today".
Set in the East Village of in 1991, where the vibrant, passionate bohemian community is dwindling. Gentrification is pushing people from their homes, and the disease AIDS ravishes the population of young struggling artists trying to survive. Yet, in the course of one life-changing year, a group of friends fight for their place in the world. For love. For life in the face of death.
After its debut season at the Sydney Opera House from December 27 – January 31, The Central Coast will welcome the show for four shows only at the Art House Wyong over February 4-6 in 2021.
Loosely based on Puccini's 1896 opera La Bohème, RENT features all the hits from the award winning score including "La Vie Boheme", "Take Me or Leave Me", "RENT" and "Seasons of Love".
This production stars Callum Francis and Seann Miley Moore. It is directed by Shaun Rennie, musically directed by Andrew Worboys and choreograohed by Luca Dinardo. It is produced by Gus Murray and Lauren Peters.
Original credits are: Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson; Musical Arrangements by Steve Skinner; Original Concept/Additional Lyrics by Billy Aronson; Music Supervision and Additional Arrangements by Tim Weil; and Dramaturg by Lynn Thomson.
"In these dangerous times where the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can learn from those who stare death in the face every day, by reaching out to each other and bonding as a community." Jonathan Larson, 1996
Come celebrate life and love in all its forms in this revolutionary, classic rock musical.

Svátek Pesach () připomíná vyjití židů z egyptského otroctví. Židé se do Egypta dostali poté, co velký hladomor zasáhl celou oblast, včetně země Kenaan. V té době měl vytvořené zásoby pouze Egypt a to díky Josefovi, synu Jákoba, kterého sem prodali jeho bratři ze závisti. Josef se postupem času dostal na nejvyšší místa a stal se správcem Egypta. Díky božím viděním byl schopen zásobit Egypt a uchránit ho tak od hladomoru. Postupně se do Egypta přesunul celý izraelský národ a žil zde pod Josefovou ochranou. Židé se však v Egyptě usadili a zůstali zde i po skončení hladomoru.

Po nějaké době nastoupil nový faraon, který však již Josefa neznal, a ten byl velmi znepokojen zvyšující se židovskou populací. V Tóře je psáno:

Jedna lévijská rodina však svého narozeného syna zatajila, ale později již nebylo zbytí a tak jej poslali v košíku po Nilu v naději, že jej někdo zachrání. Košík zahlédla v Nilu plavat faraonova dcera, která jej vytáhla. Tím jej zachránila a poté zaplatila jeho matce, aby ho odkojila s tím, že jí ho přivede až vyroste. Pojmenovala ho Mojžíš, což znamená vytahující. Když dítě odrostlo, přivedla jej k faraonově dceři a ta ho přijala za syna. Když Mojžíš dospěl, musel opustit egyptskou zemi, protože zabránil ubití Hebreje tím, že zabil Egypťana. Od té doby žil v midjánské zemi.

V zemi midjánské pojal Mojžíš za ženu dceru midjánského kněze, kterou byl předtím zachránil před pastýři. Po mnoha letech egyptský farao zemřel, ale židé stále trpěli pod útlakem. V tu dobu Bůh vyslyšel jejich volání a rozpomněl se na svou smlouvu s Abrahámem, Izákem a Jákobem. Jednou, když Mojžíš pásl ovce, se mu zjevil v plápolajícím ohni uprostřed trnitého keře. Promluvil k němu a řekl mu, že chce izraelský národ vysvobodit z moci Egypta, a že on, Mojžíš, lid izraelský vyvede. Mojžíš se však zdráhal a nebyl si jistý, že mu budou Izraelité věřit. Bůh mu proto ukázal několik znamení, jimiž je přesvědčí. Mojžíš se však stále zdráhal a vymlouval na to, že není výmluvný a že jej nebudou poslouchat. Na to se Bůh rozhněval a pravil Mojžíšovi, že jeho bratr Áron mu bude ústy a Mojžíš, že bude Áronovi Bohem.

Mojžíš poté s Áronem předstoupili před faraona a sdělili mu, že Hospodin praví, aby propustil jeho lid, aby mu v poušti mohl slavit slavnost. Faraon však neuposlechl a namísto toho ještě přitížil židům. Po tomto prvním neúspěchu posílá Bůh Mojžíše a Árona znovu k faraónovi a ujistil je, že donutí egyptského krále, aby Izraelce propustil. Znamení, které faraonovi předvedli, byla proměna Áronovy hole v draka. Hospodin zatvrdil faraonovo srdce a ten je odmítal nadále propustit. Stejně neoblomný byl i během všech egyptských ran. Poslední z egyptských ran je pobití všeho prvorozeného v Egyptě.

Čtyři dny před vyjitím z Egypta řekl Hospodin Izraelitům, aby si každá rodina vybrala zdravého beránka bez vady (Exodus 12:3-5). Během 14. nisanu jej obětovali a použili jeho krev na označení veřejí svých domů. Poté do půlnoci 15. nisanu jedli opečené beránky. Takto označené domy poté Hospodin překročil, když procházel Egyptem a vybíjel vše prvorozené. Jako pozůstatek této události se na vchodové dveře židovských domácností umisťuje mezuza.

Toto pravil Hospodin Mojžíšovi a Áronovi:

Poté Hospodin sdělil Mojžíšovi a Áronovi nařízení o hodu beránka (Exodus 12:43-51) (viz Korban Pesach) a o zasvěcení prvorozených. Poté, co židovský národ dorazí do země Kenaanců, musí být každý prvorozený tvor, který otevírá lůno, obětován nebo vyplacen. Kdyby člověk nebyl schopen prvorozeného vyplatit, tak mu má zlomit vaz. Vyplácí se i prvorozené dítě. Této tradici se říká Pidjon ha-ben.

Hospodin určuje Izraelcům cestu, aby vyšli z Egypta. Ve dne je předchází sloup oblakový, v noci sloup ohnivý. Hospodin přikáže Mojžíšovi, aby se všichni utábořili na břehu moře ,a znovu zatvrdí faraonovo srdce. Faraon se rozhodne, že židy jen tak nepustí. Vypraví se se svým vojskem, aby je přivedl zpět. Hospodin však národ izraelský zachrání. Tehdy Hospodin rozdělil moře. Mojžíš zdvihl hůl a moře se rozpoltilo. Celý izraelský národ tak přešel suchou nohou. Faraon se ovšem pustil za nimi. Tehdy však Mojžíš vztáhl ruku nad moře a to opět nabylo své moci. Vody se vrátily a přikryly vozy i jízdu celého faraónova vojska. Nezůstal z nich ani jediný. Tak uviděl Izrael velikou moc, kterou osvědčil Hospodin na Egyptu. Lid se bál Hospodina a uvěřili Hospodinu i jeho služebníku Mojžíšovi.

Brda - Home of Rebula: an exclusive wine experience
The third exclusive international wine event, Brda – Home of Rebula Wine Experience, is taking place between 27 and 29 August at Villa Vipolže, attended by renowned local and foreign wine experts, media representatives and even celebrities. The event is organised by fourteen esteemed Brda wineries in cooperation with the Institute for Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports Brda. It is also supported by the Slovenian Tourist Board as the event's purpose is to promote the international recognisability of the Rebula wine.
Gastronomy plays an essential role in Slovenian tourism
Gastronomy is one of the key products of Slovenian tourism, substantially contributing to realising Slovenia's vision as a green boutique destination for five-star experiences. The Slovenian Tourist Board (STB) has been incorporating and highlighting this in all its marketing and promotional activities and thus also supports the project focusing on the Rebula wine, which takes places in Goriška Brda between 27 and 29 August.
Great wines make great things happen: renowned media and celebrities in Goriška Brda
A number of excellent Slovenian winemakers from Goriška Brda participated in this exclusive event
In partnership with the organisers, the STB brought 25 foreign media representatives from key Slovenian tourism markets such as Germany, Italy, Russia, UK, the USA, and Croatia, and financially and substantively supported their learning about the Rebula wine and the region in which it is produced. The representatives of renowned media houses and reference names in the world of gastronomy such as Wine Spectator, La Repubblica, Forbes, Gambero Rosso, Decanter.com, are joined by esteemed wine experts from Slovenia, Italy and UK. The Rebula wine is being introduced by the following wine producers participating in the project: Marjan Simčič, Edi Simčič, Dolfo, Vina Ferdinand, Ščurek, Klet Brda, Zanut, Moro, Medot and Erzetič from Slovenia, and Gravner, Edi Keber, Jermann and Radikon from Italy.
This year, also Ralf Schumacher attended the event, a former racing driver, who owns a restaurant in Cologne, where Rebula from Slovenia is being served.
Ralf Schumacher also attended the event. On the photo with Ms. Eva Štravs Podlogar, State Secretary, Ms. Maja Pak, the director of STB, and Ms. Tina Novak Samec, Head of Brda Tourism
The STB was pleased to support the project
"We are pleased that the Brda wine producers and the Brda Hills destination decided to carry out such an event. As the holder of the silver Slovenia Green Destination label, the Slovenian section of the Brda Hills is an excellent example of commitment to sustainable development, which the STB also supports through its projects. Sustainable development and an authentic, innovative, high-quality offer for demanding guests are the objectives of Slovenian tourism. We are committed to these and to attaining new successes and achievements in Slovenian tourism. The culinary and wine offer provided in the Brda Hills, relying on boutique, traditional and organic production and a great deal of care and attention, certainly contributes to this. The STB was pleased to support the project dedicated to the Rebula wine since this noble variety deserves better recognition in the media at home and around the world," highlighted Msc. Maja Pak, Director of the Slovenian Tourist Board.
Yesterday, Msc. Maja Pak introduced Slovenia to the participants in the international wine event, Brda – Home of Rebula Wine Experience, as an excellent gastronomic destination and its strategy to improve its international visibility in this field. The link to the presentation is available here.
This edition of the exclusive event in the Brda Hills focused on individual vintages of the Rebula from 2011 to 2018 and its three styles: classic, mature and with extended maceration. At a special master class, the great vertical wine tasting was led by Gašper Čarman, Slovenia's Sommelier of the Year in 2013 and 2015 and one of our high-profile wine experts. Denis Rusjan, Associate Professor at the Department of Agronomy at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, analysed the impact of terroir on individual Rebula styles. Luca Gardini, an influential Italian sommelier, the World's Best Sommelier in 2010 and a wine critic, and Caroline Gilby, Master of Wine from Great Britain, a respected writer in the field of wine and the Panel Chair for the Decanter World Wide Awards for Central and Eastern Europe, spoke about the potential of the Rebula, which is considered a rising star among white varieties in the global market.
The day ended with a tasting of the best Rebula wines from the Brda Hills and Collio, and a formal dinner with old Rebula vintages at Gredič Castle. The wines were accompanied with culinary masterpieces by the talented chef, David Bucik. The foreign media representatives and wine experts are ending their visit to the Brda Hills today with a visit to the Brda vineyards and wine cellars.

Title: The Babadook
Finally, A Big Screen Bio Of Gary Dell'Abate. You're thinking of Baba Booey, who is only slightly less terrifying.
Rating Using Random Objects Relevant To The Film: Four-and-a-half bunyips out of five
Brief Plot Synopsis: Monster infiltrates home to terrorize occupants via a sinister book, kind of like the Mormons.
Tagline: "You can't get rid of the Babadook."
Better Tagline: "The life of a single mom is always intense."
Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: Amelia's (Essie Davis) husband died when they were in a car accident on the way to the hospital so she could give birth to their son Samuel (Noah Wiseman). That was six years ago, and while Amelia is (barely) keeping it together, Samuel has grown into something of a problem child, one who now claims a monster has taken up residence in their house.
"Critical" Analysis: The Land Down Under has never gotten a ton of respect for its horror movies, which tend to sift into two categories: Giant Predators Attack (Rogue, The Reef, Black Water), and Rubbed Out in the Outback (Wolf Creek, Long Weekend). Still, sprinkled amongst the giant crocodiles and machete killers have been genuinely disturbing efforts like Picnic at Hanging Rock and iSOLATE.
The Babadook deserves some recognition, not just for regional acclaim but for being one of the most accomplished horror movies in recent memory. Thanks to its deft melding of psychological and physical terror, as well as its unwillingness to rely on cheap tricks in favor of building atmosphere and dread right from the opening scene, Jennifer Kent's debut feature is a triumph.
It's also scary as hell.
The approach is part of what makes Kent's film (she wrote and directed) so effective. A great deal of American horror — from Poltergeist or The Conjuring — relies on threats to the nuclear family. Here, that family never had a chance to materialize, killed as it was before Samuel could even leave the womb. For seven years Amelia has been dealing with both the stress of being a single mother and the gut-wrenching loss of her husband. It'd be enough to leave anyone a bit ... unhinged.
Add to that Ameila's guilt at wanting another relationship, and the desperation coming from raising a troubled child alone, and perhaps the appearance of a creepy pop-up book may not be the only thing causing her to lose her grip. Indeed, everyone from her sister to the police she reports the increasingly frequent disturbing incidents to are skeptical. Could she be hallucinating that swarm of cockroaches, or the leering figure lurking in the shadows?
Kent relies on organic sight and sound — shadows and gloom combined with sparse noise effects — to keep us on our toes. And the often oppressive silence is much more effective than hammy orchestral cues or shrieking violins helpfully telling the audience when it's time to shit their pants. As mentioned before, you get scared early on and the tension doesn't let up for the entire running time.
Hinging as it mostly does on only two principals, The Babadook would be sunk by lesser performances. Fortunately both Wiseman (looking like a young Angus Young) and Davis are up to the task. I have no idea if Davis actually has kids, but one possible (and plausible) interpretation of this movie is as an extended metaphor for sleep deprivation resulting from having children.
In the end, it doesn't matter if the Babadook is real or merely a manifestation of Amelia's guilt (and the final scene, ripe with subtext, suggests either possibility). This is a horror movie as harrowing as anything we've seen from directors who've been in the business for decades. Make an effort to check it out. Or hey, maybe see it with your mom.
The Babadook is in theaters today. Dook. Dook. Dook.

How has your new year started? Are you feeling energized by the fact that you are starting to write on new pages in your life this year? Are you feeling a bit like you are in a funk? Maybe you don't see this year as any different from the last year?
I know there is much more to learn this year too, and I am happy to say that I have entered this new year without regrets. What was hard, made me stronger. I reviewed what was going on and examined my reaction to it. I believe in changing what I can to make it better. Most of the time, if I am honest, my reaction to something is really just not allowing God to handle it. I feel excited about what is to come this year! I have purchased a ukulele and mandolin to learn, got new strings on my guitar, budgeted a little for photography investments, started reading again everyday in those books I purchased. I approach it just like it is a class I attend. I give myself time for lessons to learn more, I give myself quiet time to reflect. I take in the moments in my day rather than moving so fast that I don't "notice", or hear God"s whisper.
As I am reading in a current study, I find myself in total agreement with the author who says we can get deafened to hearing from God because we have so many loud noises trying to get our attention. He also says that we become deaf to God speaking to us. He needs to be our loudest voice. I think so too. When I am living more like I shared above, I am more relaxed and just enjoy the moment for what it is. A mocha, a phone call from a friend, a prayer request that I immediately pray for, time with a child, listening to a great song, playing a tune I just made up, or spending time with hubby doing some of our favorite things. For example, I don't just drink a mocha. I savor the warmth of the cup, the flavor of the drink, who I am with, where I am at….all those things. I'm thankful. Some do not have a warm drink, let alone a warm home. So I say thank you that I can enjoy this moment because He has been provided for that. When I sing and play, I am thankful for the gift of a singing voice and that I can even still sing; not like I used to, but at least I can still sing. I sing my thanks, I listen to the lyrics as I sing…it is all about taking the time to hear what song God even brings up in my spirit TO sing. That can be a message all by itself! That is listening! The new year for me brings up all the things that are right in my world, not all the things that are wrong. I look for good when I make my goals, and let God show me what He will willing to do with this year.
The gift that my hubby and I gave each other this year for Christmas was a spa type hot tub. It is portable and not real big, but it fits us and has a semi hard casing around it. We are excited about spending time enjoying a good soak when these bones and muscles are kind of stiff. It will be outside amongst the trees and cold air, while we are relaxed and refreshed by the heat of the tub. I can't wait to try it out with a mocha in hand! I hope it will be ready soon!
I just got a new journal that I love. It is very old-fashioned and that draws me to it. It's blank pages are screaming for a story, and…I just might have to write one. It may be for my own eyes only, and something I pass on, but it may be a treasure some day for someone else. There are mysteries in our lives, and I think we need to be more open to sharing them while we are here to share them. I encourage my boys to ask me what they want to know if I haven't shared it with them already. So if you aren't a journal type person, remember, it doesn't have to be a page; it may only be a paragraph. It may even be a sentence or two. Great! Just put it down.
My new year's wish for you is that you take this new year as an opportunity to mix things up a little bit. Do something new. Change what you don't like and replace it with something you do! Become a an artist of your own life; a writer of your own story. There are times in my life where a certain situation comes up and I would love to see God change that, like… immediately. But of course, that is not the case. God has His own time frame, and His own reasoning for where I am and what I am doing. So instead of complaining about it, I'm learning to ask Him to help me understand it, AND the process. That way my focus is more on solution than complaint. You see, if we change how we look at things, we change everything about it. I can't take a picture of a flower if I'm focused on the sky. I have to get down where the flowers grow, maybe even grovel on the ground a bit to get the best view. THEN… I can see the beauty that is there to see. It is all about our perspective.
See you on the Adventure trail!
I don't know what is going to happen nor where this path is leading me. But I'll go. I yearn to.
Yes! Let's!! I'll be walking with you for sure. It's gonna be great!


Graduate Record Examination or GRE is a commercially-run standardized test that is an admissions requirement for many graduate schools principally in the United States, but also in other English speaking countries. Created and administered by Educational Testing Service (or ETS) in 1949, the exam is primarily focused on testing abstract thinking skills in the areas of mathematics, vocabulary, and analytical writing. The GRE is typically a computer-based exam that is administered by select qualified testing centers; however, paper-based exams are offered in areas of the world that lack the technological requirements.
GRE Subject Tests : Some schools require candidates to take specific subject test for considering their admission for Graduation Program.
· Issue Topic: Two topics will be presented and one need to be selected.

About CONQUERING
Wes 'Stiff' Collins lived life on the wild side. He worked from the moment he knew what the word meant, always making the best of every situation. There was nothing about his past he would change.
Without a real family except his brother Xander, Stiff joined the Vipers Creed Motorcycle Club, and they taught him what it was to have people he could depend on. When his past crashed into his present, he vowed to protect the club that had always been his steady, even if it meant turning his back on the woman who had given him life.
Chelsea Miller's life was simple: work, take care of her family, and save for the future. Everything was about having a goal and a plan. However, when her sister ended up battered and bruised on a diner floor, everything she thought was in her past suddenly threatened her future. In a moment, she had a new goal, everything else be damned. She would protect her family … at all costs.
Stiff and Chelsea's worlds collide in an explosion of determination, strength, and lust. Will they give in to temptation, or will conquering each other be too steep a price?

The following is a list of philosophers and writers with notable contributions to philosophy. Some of them were professional philosophers, academics who have devoted their primary careers to the study and development of philosophical questions. Some were authors or scientists who illuminated philosophical themes or brought new approaches to philosophical ideas. Others were polymaths, for whom philosophy was but one of many talents.
Due to the volume of philosophical inquiry over the span of human civilizations, this list is doomed to be forever incomplete, but the goal is to provide a significant list of those philosophers who have provided noteworthy contributions to the ongoing discussions of philosophical problems.

Marsianskiye Glaza (en ruso марсианские глаза), traducido al español es Ojos De Marciano, es el sexto sencillo del álbum de estudio Veselye Ulybki (Sonrisas felices), del dúo de cantantes rusas T.A.T.u.

Esta canción es una de las pocas canciones que no son demos en las que solo canta Lena Katina y está incluida en el disco, como Julia Volkova cantó sola el sencillo 220 (Dvesti Dvadsat) en la cual Lena cantaba únicamente los coros.

Category: Idaho Democrats
Frank Forrester Church (25 July 1924 - 7 April 1984) was a four-term U.S. Senator (1957-1981) from the Democratic Party, having been raised and serving from Boise, Idaho.
Senator Church graduated from Stanford University, interrupted with a tour of Burma in World War II. While practicing law in Boise, he ran for the Senate in 1956 and defeated Republican incumbent Herman Welker. He was then elected to three more terms before his defeat by Representative Steven Symms in 1980. He gained fame during his service in the Senate by the so-called Church committees, which investigated unconstitutional CIA and FBI intelligence-gathering. He tried to attain the Democratic nomination in 1976, but ceded to Jimmy Carter, who was elected.

Aston Villa stars visit Acorns Hospice in Walsall
ASTON Villa stars brought plenty of Christmas cheer during a festive visit to Acorns Children's Hospice.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill was joined by captain Stiliyan Petrov, Stewart Downing, James Milner, Brad Friedel, Stephen Warnock, Moustapha Salifou and Andy Marshall at the hospice's Walsall base.
It continued the football club's close relationship with its nominated charity Acorns, which cares for children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and their families.
Chad Williams, aged 13, from Tamworth, who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, plays wheelchair football for Villa Rockets and is a season ticket holder in the Trinity Road stand.
"My Christmas wish would be for Villa to win the Carling Cup and finish in the top four," said Chad, who was accompanied by sister Millie, six, and friend Niall Donlan, 13.
Chad's mum Rose said meeting his heroes was the perfect tonic after a tough year including surgery and a heart problem.
Season ticket holder Gary Leahy, 24, from Birmingham, who also suffers from muscular dystrophy, said: "Instead of sending Christmas cards I can send people pictures of me with the players, because all of my family are Villa fans!"
Acorns chief executive David Strudley said: "The children love it and there was so much joy on their faces.
"I think a few of the nurses went a little bit weak at the knees as well!" Villa, who wear the Acorns logo on their kits instead of a sponsor, have also donated £20,000 to help fund a new family lounge at the hospice.
Defender Warnock said: "It's unfortunate the position the children are in but they're fortunate that they've got the facilities and people to look after them in a great way. It's nice to come here for an hour or so to give them a bit of a boost and put smiles on their faces."
Acorns' three hospices employ more than 170 care staff, including a large multi-disciplinary Community Team. Its work is also hugely supported by 350 committed and trained volunteers.


I'm starting a how to series, it will include basic sewing instructions and specific bag making instructions.
I wanted to start with this one as Vilene sent me a sample of their newest product Style-vil. It's a great new sew in foam. I haven't used a lot of foams however i did use one for The Luna bag pattern. I wish i had Style-vil back then!
I use Vilene products a lot, mostly fusible vilene H 630 and H 640 for bags. I use them because they are easily available in Australia and inexpensive. I'm always impressed with the results.
The Style-vil is a great product and will allow bags to stand very well. The only thing i wish it was, is fusible. But thats ok! We can make non fusible foam, fusible really easily.
I've used heat and bond light in this example but you can use Vilene's own Bondaweb, or other double-sided adhesive product that you would use for applique.
This test sample i have used is 4″ x 4″ piece of Style-vil and heat and bond light and placed it on 5″ x 5″ piece of fabric.
I cut my heat and bond and style-vil to the same size and followed the heat and bond instructions to adhere to the style-vil. It can be ironed with a pressing cloth over it. The style-vil did really well and it's recommended you press to remove wrinkles from the foam before use.
I then removed the paper backing from the heat and bond and ironed my fabric onto it.
It bonded really well! It looks great and i can still stitch it.
I really recommend doing this for your bags, Try it for yourself.

BULGARIA — The first IKEA store in Bulgaria is scheduled to open in Sofia in the last quarter of 2011.
Projections call for more than 1.6 million customers to visit in its first year, according to the Fourlis Group, a Greek company that is IKEA's franchise holder for Greece, Bulgaria, and Cyprus. It plans to invest EUR 50 M in the construction, which will start with a ground-breaking ceremony on June 3, 2010.


The International Consumer Electronics Show is just around the corner and the electronics giants are preparing for the event, presenting their products slightly earlier than the actual event date. Xiaomi has unveiled in the last hours the new drone Yi Erida and the action camera Yi 4K +, which will be presented at the CES in the coming days. The Yi Erida is an upgrade of the old Yi 4K drone released at the beginning of the 2016 and mounts the Yi 4K, the first action camera capable of recording video to 60 fps and in 4k resolution. The shots will therefore be richer and more fluid than those made with the previous model, even in the case of a moving subject.
The Yi Erida is essentially a trirotor able to fly at a maximum speed of about 120 km / h, equipped with a gimbal to stabilize the chamber during the flight. The vehicle can be driven through an app and is equipped with an advanced radar / sensor system. Xiaomi did not reveal other information about the camera, which should be very similar to the previously released model (with the exception of the improvements already mentioned in the resolution and the frame rate section) and will probably be equipped with a touch screen display and a discreetly performing battery.
It will cost like a go pro and therefore loses all its meaning.

CLIENT: Ormiston College
FROM: Manly to Manly
REPORT BY: Red Watch
We were woken by the graceful sound of Sophie's bugle blowing at 6.30am sharp. The vessel swiftly began to operate as those awake attended to their positions and began working together, The South Passage way. We set sail along the coast line of Moreton Island and anchored off Tangalooma Island Resort.
The group went to the shore and walked along the sand to the ship wrecks, viewing the tranquility of the ocean. Many trekked up the dunes and enjoyed a lovely view of the bay which showed the beautiful contrast of colours in the ocean. While we were enjoying our time on the island, we played in the ocean while some enjoyed the sun. After the time on the beach many leaped from the front ship into the clear, blue water below.
Next we raised the anchor and voyaged from Moreton to Peel Island. Along the way, we were greeted by three curious humpback whales that were quite fascinated by our ship, circling around us before venturing south. We viewed two pods of dolphins playing on either side of the boat on the voyage to Peel Island. When we arrived at Horseshoe Bay, all of the watch groups worked together to lower the sails before anchoring. At dinner time, most of the students watched the sun set as they indulged in the chicken stir fry, with many agreeing that was their favourite meal.
Then, we gathered in the main cabin to elect the Skipper, Sailing Master, and Navigator and Watch leaders for Command Day. Arabella was elected Skipper, Steffan was elected Sailing Master and Joel was elected as Navigator. Two of the three elected were members of the red watch group. Each watch group also elected a watch leader. Throughout the evening, some students were up on deck and experienced the starry night, with a glimpse of the Milky Way.

Factors associated with fatigue in CNS inflammatory diseases with AQP4 and MOG antibodies.
Fatigue is a common and disabling symptom amongst people with multiple sclerosis, however it has not been compared across the central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory diseases associated with aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies (Ab). We explored the factors associated with fatigue within and across the two diseases, and compared fatigue levels between them.
We performed a cross-sectional study of 90 AQP4-Ab and 44 MOG-Ab patients. Fatigue was assessed using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). Clinical, demographic, and psychometric (anxiety, depression, pain) data were used as independent variables. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify significant independent variables associated with fatigue within and across the two diseases.
Within AQP4-Ab patients, age (P = 0.002), disease duration (P = 0.004), number of clinical attacks (P = 0.001), disability (P = 0.007), pain interference (P < 0.001), anxiety (P = 0.026), and depression (P < 0.001) were significant independent variables. Interestingly, disease duration had a negative association with fatigue (P = 0.004). Within MOG-Ab patients, pain interference score (P < 0.001) and anxiety (P = 0.001) were significant independent variables. Although fatigue was worse in AQP4-Ab patients compared to MOG-Ab patients (P = 0.008) in all patients as well as in those who ever had transverse myelitis (P = 0.023), this was driven by the differences in age, disability and pain interference rather than antibody subtype itself.
Multiple factors, but not the antibody specificity, appear to contribute to fatigue in antibody positive CNS inflammatory diseases. A multifaceted treatment approach is needed to better manage the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial aspects of fatigue in these patients.

(SPOT.ph) Anak TV, an advocate for child-sensitive family-friendly television, has called TV5's public apology and decision to investigate the "Jan-Jan on Willing Willie" incident a "commendable first step."
In their statement released yesterday, the organization also pushed for the discussion of "ways that media can become more sensitive to the needs of its young viewing public, balancing entertainment value with social consciousness and responsibility."
The statement also reads: "Focusing too closely on this single incident further endangers the privacy and the reputation of the child who figured in it, and delays his return to a normal, everyday life. He does not need any more insensitivity than he has already been subjected to thus far, by repeated coverages, replays and exchanges of opinions."
Anak TV added, "Television is a powerful medium that can divide as it can unite a nation; and like a knife and a matchbook, its utility can bring either harm or good. Responsibility is therefore key."
In a letter, Anak TV said "all the TV networks and their affiliates" that belong to the organization created the statement. Anak TV members include TV5's Christine Ona, ABS-CBN's Evelyn Raymundo, GMA's Felipe Gozon and spokesperson Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski.


Jose Baez: 'Overlooked' evidence wasn't missed at all.
Detectives who investigated the Casey Anthony case say they overlooked evidence that someone in her home did a Google search for "fool-proof" suffocation the day Caylee Anthony went missing.
How does something like this happen in such a high profile case?
Casey Anthony's former attorney Jose Baez joined HLN's Dr. Drew Monday night telling him that he mentioned these details in his new book.
oh yeah moron im sure they knew about it but they thought "awww may have been george trying to find a way to commit suicide". Who in the hell would even consider suicide by those means? I believe it would have to pretty difficult to suffocate yourself. Kind of like drowning yourself. Your instinct to breathe would kick in unless you drugged yourself first. In which case, wouldnt you just commit suicide with the drugs alone?!? God i didnt think it was possible to hate this man any more than i already do but he has proven me wrong. How does this scumbag sleep at night?
kcrn I have asked that question of all of them. I wonder how any of them can sleep. Your not alone they just manage to make a person despise them more and more every time they open their mouths.
I heard on the news today (Fox) that immediately following the "fool proof suffocation" search, Casey's MySpace account was accessed from the same search engine. So, I guess a distraught George was looking for a way to kill himself, but had a moment of lightheartedness and decided to see what Happy KC had been up to on her MySpace using the log-on and password that KC had given her parents because, as we all know, she was always totally open and honest with them about everything in her life.
That scenario is typical of the tortured effort the defense exercised to explain away the obvious truth throughout the trial. I know that the law does not require the defense to supply incriminating evidence to the prosecution. However, they're going to burn, baby, burn one day for allowing that precious little girl to be robbed of the justice she deserves.
Coincidence George searching the say Caylee dies?
Bozo brings this stuff out now, think he wants 2 sell his book.
Coincidence George searching the day Caylee dies?
DR. DREW PINSKY, HOST (voice-over): Casey Anthony is making headlines again. And we will hear the very latest exclusively from her attorney, Jose Baez.
"Sesame Street" scandal continues. Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, has been hit with a $5 million lawsuit by a young man who claims he`d had sexual relations with Clash starting when he was just 15 years old. Now, he wants a multimillion dollar apology and new details of their alleged affair.
PINSKY: It is Monday Madness. And truly it is so today.
First off, a new report shows someone searched the term "foolproof suffocation" on a computer mainly used by Casey Anthony.
Joining us now on the phone from Miami is author of the book "Presumed Guilty" and Casey Anthony`s former attorney, Jose Baez.
Jose, thank you so much for joining me here today.
Now, in your book, you mention this evidence. And so the question I guess everyone wants to know is how does something like this get missed in such a high-profile case? Or was it missed?
JOSE BAEZ, CASEY ANTHONY`S FORMER ATTORNEY (via telephone): Well, I can tell you this, Drew. First of all, thank you for having me.
I remember sitting right next to you while we were discussing my book before it came out, and I told you that there were things in this book that were going to shock people. It only took a few months for people to realize, but it -- you know, first of all, I don`t believe this evidence was missed at all. I think it was clearly there.
I think there are reports that in my book I lay out the reports that reference the work that was done on the computer. And why I believe it was buried as opposed to a mere oversight or overlooked as they are now claiming.
PINSKY: Jose, review that with us now. Why do you think they chose to overlook it?
BAEZ: Well, the problem with this evidence is that it completely destroys the prosecution`s timeline. If you recall, the only testimony of what occurred on June 16th, 2008, was the testimony of George Anthony that says Casey and Caylee left the house at 12:50.
He described exactly what they were wearing. That Caylee had a backpack and then he walked them out. He helped her get in the car and gave her a kiss and waved goodbye.
This computer activity shows someone on the computer practically all day. So if you take that and you say, well, it was Casey who did these -- who was on the computer. Then she didn`t leave at 12:50.
PINSKY: Who do you think was on the computer?
PINSKY: Who do you think this was that was on the computer that day? Was it mom? Dad? Casey? Who was it?
BAEZ: You know, you can never -- you can never put someone behind a computer. That`s the biggest problem with this evidence. You know, in my book, I outline a couple of different scenarios. Of course you could say Casey did it.
But you can`t have your cake and eat it too. If she was on the computer, then she didn`t leave the house at 12:50 and that means someone is lying about the fact that she left the house.
But, you know, if you argue that they left the house, then you have to say was George doing the searches? So, I mean, you know, it cuts both ways. But I think it`s much more damaging to the prosecution than it is to the defense because Casey`s cell phone records also don`t show her leaving the house until 4:16 that afternoon.
Jane -- Jane, you have a question for us or comment, Jane in Florida?
JANE, CALLER FROM FLORIDA: Yes. Thank you, Dr. Drew, for taking my call. I have both a comment and question for Jose Baez. I feel clearly and beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony is guilty of murdering Caylee with or without this new evidence of Google searches. I don`t know if the timeline is correct or not. But I believe this is only additional evidence of her guilt and the jury did not connect the dots.
But my question is -- in addition to these Google searches, how can you propose theories when there`s no evidence to back up or support that Caylee drowned, that her father helped cover up, and that she was sexually abused. How can you propose theories such as this and how could we believe this or how could even a jury believe this when she`s a pathological liar? And I believe also suffers from a sociopathic personality disorder.
PINSKY: OK. Let`s let Jose respond. There was a lot packed into that.
PINSKY: So, try to focus there.
BAEZ: I`ll try my best. And it`s Terry, right?
Jane, here`s the thing. What a lot of people -- first of all, I don`t blame you for feeling the way you do. A lot of people who watched this trial on television and were -- you know, I don`t know if you sat and watched every minute of the trial, but a lot of people who watched it on TV and caught the headlines and caught the sound bytes, pretty much feel that way and were very shocked by the verdict.
Those people that watched the trial a bit more and watched the complete trial, the emotions are a little bit mixed. Some people think we`re not surprised that some people were.
As it relates to your issue about theories, the -- I kind of -- I have to disagree with you. We put forward evidence that talked about the drowning. For example, the pool ladder being left up the day before and then the next day, Cindy Anthony going to work and telling her coworkers about it.
PINSKY: Jose, I think she`s talking about -- I think she`s talking about theories that were a little more far reaching, like George`s sexual abuse of Casey, that kind of thing.
BAEZ: Sure. There are several ways evidence could be put forth. And one is by cross examination and one is by direct testimony. Of course, Casey could have take have a stand and could have testify to this. And, of course, also George when he took the stand and we questioned him about the abuse, he could have denied it and he could have -- or he could have admitted to it.
Now, he did deny it. However, that doesn`t mean that the jury has to believe a witness. That`s the same if Casey took the stand and said, I didn`t do this, and they looked her and said, you know what, you`re lying. I do think you did.
So that`s considered evidence in a case. And that evidence came forth.
BAEZ: Did we prove these theories beyond a reasonable doubt? No. I agree with that. That`s not the defense`s burden. That`s the prosecution`s burden.
PINSKY: Let`s take another quick call, Jose. I got to take another call from Terry in Florida. Terry, go ahead. Terry?
TERRY, CALLER FROM FLORIDA: Hi, Dr. Drew. Hi, Mr. Baez. How are you folks today?
TERRY: I have a question, Mr. Baez, if you don`t mind. Casey`s acquitted of murder, and, you know, I blame someone else for Caylee`s murder I believe. And my question is who are you going to blame now or point to now with the newfound evidence? You know, the Google search for the foolproof suffocation. And the investigator said the person at home at the time was Casey.
BAEZ: I`m sorry. I didn`t understand.
PINSKY: Terry, what`s the question?
TERRY: Mr. Baez, you acquitted Casey of murder by pointing the finger at other people. My question is who`s going to be blamed this time for the newly found evidence of the foolproof suffocation? The investigators said nobody was home except for Casey at the time of that Google search.
BAEZ: That`s actually incorrect, Terry. The searches were done at 1:50 p.m. That would mean that both Casey and -- by the testimony both Casey and George were home at that time. So if you believe that it was Casey on the computer, she had to be home and the testimony that she left at 12:50 is completely contradicted.
PINSKY: You can`t have it both ways.
BAEZ: You can`t have your cake and eat it too.
PINSKY: Yes, you can`t have it both ways.
And, Jose, let me ask one more last thing before I let you go. Do you think it`s possible that Casey was searching ways to hurt herself, however Caylee died, after coming to understand the child was dead that she could have been one of the people searching for ways to hurt herself? Does that fit with your understanding of Casey?
PINSKY: I`m asking you. You`re the one that sat in the room with her all the time. Is she someone that however the child died would have gone - - I need a way out, I`m going to kill myself?
BAEZ: OK. Casey -- there`s no evidence that Casey ever contemplated or attempted suicide, which the searches show. However, there was an attempt -- that George attempted suicide in January of 2009. So, you know, the worst, most difficult thing that you can do is put somebody behind a computer.
So you have the situation where I think it`s my opinion if you look at these facts and the timeline of the case, that these searches are much more damaging to the prosecution`s case than they ever were for the defense, which is why I believe they were never brought up.
PINSKY: Got it. Jose, thank you so much for joining us and explaining some of these facts to us. Obviously this is something that can`t be retried. People will be speculating. People, a lot of high emotion around this case. But I appreciate you for coming here tonight and sort of addressing these issues that are hitting the headlines today.
Thanks, Jose. And I`m sure we`ll be back more with this in the upcoming days.
Casey Anthony's lead attorney Jose Baez says newly discovered Google searches found on the Anthony family computer, including for "fool-proof" suffocation methods on the day her daughter Caylee was last seen alive, were suicide related.
"What's being reported about these searches is completely false," Baez said in an interview on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning. "These were suicide related searches."
Baez said there was "no indication" that Casey had run the searches and suggested it was her father, George Anthony, who conducted the search. Anthony's attorneys argued during trial that Casey Anthony helped her father, George, cover up the girl's drowning in the family pool.
"He actually attempted suicide several months later," he said. "Casey Anthony never contemplated or attempted suicide."
Baez, who was brought into the national spotlight for representing Anthony during the trial, said he doesn't get into "what if's," and that the case still is marred "in a lot speculation."
This is just Baez trying to extract his foot from his mouth. It's poetic justice that his own comments revealed this evidence.. I am not sure the Jury would have paid any attention to this, if all the other evidence didn't convince them..
Casey was online in her own password protected AIM account. Once she finished with her search of fool-proof suffication she spent some time on her MySpace account, then her browsing was interrupted by a phone call from Jesse Grund, which she took. At that time of day George was on his way to work, for a 3pm shift.
Casey's cellphone pings show her still at the house.
In trying to zero in on what's most enraging about old Jose, I think it can be summed up as his being the Intelligence Insulter Extraordinaire of all time.
I am shocked at the anger these people evoke in me to this very day. Jose it may be difficult to place someone behind a computer but work records prove George and Cindy were at work. That leaves Casey making those searches. That jury would not have convicted her with a video and confession!
I cannot stomach to watch dr drew Pinsky!
For some reason he rubs me the wrong way! We all know the jury was not hooked on phonics!
Anytime Baez appears! I too got the idea that its about his inept book he's trying to get people to buy! It an be found the fiction or comedy section of the library.
Someday he will fry siesta!you said it well!
Peeled of all Teflon coating.
Sister I liked your comment!
so, why isn't the defense and the prosecution ordered to bring forth all evidence ? It isn't about justice anymore and putting the bad guys behind bars, it is all about a big game who can outsmart the other side...Makes me sick! this is how killers go free.
MIAMI — "Prosecuting Casey Anthony" starring Rob Lowe is set to debut early next year on the Lifetime cable network.
I can't believe these worms are still coming out of the woodwork. I wonder what kind of life Casey has now? They just keep making money off of poor Caylee.
What a wonderful birthday gift for me Jan. 19th!!

Playing to the Back of the Room
As comedians, we sometimes play to the 'back of the room'. You're on the road with two other comedians and you've heard each other's sets three or four times already, so you start yelling out 'requests' from the back of the room during a late Saturday night show. Obviously, nothing to throw your friend off, but maybe a request or tag (additional joke) to an already established bit. Even though comedians usually know their material inside out, it's kind of fun to hear a fellow comedian laugh or say something out loud about one of your punchlines. It's considered a compliment coming from one of your colleagues whose writing you respect.
Comedians feed off of good spontaneity vs. bad spontaneity (i.e. a heckler who needs to be thrown out). A little spontaneity every now and then is good for the soul. That's why I became intrigued when I heard this story about Martin Luther King Jr.
Apparently, Dr. King had a favorite opening act on his speaking tours- the renowned gospel singer, Mahalia Jackson. Mahalia could inspire a crowd like no one else before she brought Dr. King on stage. While she performed, Dr. King would sometimes shout out a request for a song that he knew Mahalia would sing. Likewise, Mahalia felt equally as comfortable calling out a word or phrase that would inspire Dr. King to talk about a particular topic. Even though they both knew their material, there was that extra boost of inspiration to play to 'the back of the room'.
One such moment happened on August 28, 1963 at the historic march on Washington.
Dr. King was supposed to give a speech about freedom, in front of an audience of 250,000 people on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He had worked on it all night.
He had his notes on the podium. However, during one of his pauses, his 'opening act' felt comfortable enough to prompt her friend to talk about a theme (or, as comics say, a bit) she knew that she had heard him talk about before. Mahalia whispered, "Tell them about the dream, Martin."
As old film footage shows, Dr. King put his prepared notes aside and then delivered one of the most iconic speeches of all time. Of course, Dr. King was prepared, but perhaps a little message from a respected colleague gave him the challenge and inspiration to be spontaneous and to play to the back of the room. As a result, Dr. King delivered his famous words that ultimately helped bring to action the Civil Rights Movement.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed — we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
Quotes taken from Dr. King's I Have A Dream speech.
Until next time folks, take care of each other, love,
