10:1 ALR, these are the signs of the Book of wisdom.
10:2 Is it a surprise for the people who We inspired a man from among them: "Warn the people and give good news to those who believe, that they will have a footing of truth with their Lord." The rejecters said: "This is clearly magic!"
10:3 Your Lord is God who has created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He settled upon the Throne; He manages all affairs. There is no intercessor except after His permission. Such is God your Lord, so serve Him. Would you not remember?
10:4 To Him is your return, all of you, for the promise of God is true. He initiates the creation then He returns it; to recompense with justice those who have believed and have done good works. As for those who have rejected, they will have a boiling drink, and a painful retribution for what they had rejected.
10:5 He is the One who has made the sun a radiance, and the moon a light, and He has measured its phases; that you may know the number of the years and the count. God has not created this except with the truth. He clarifies the revelations for a people who know.
10:6 In the difference between the night and the day and what God has created in the heavens and the earth are signs for a people who are aware.
10:7 As for those who do not wish to meet Us, and they are content with the worldly life, and they feel secure by it, and they are unaware of Our signs.
10:9 Those who believe and do good works, their Lord will guide them by their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in gardens of bliss.
10:10 Their saying in it is: "Be you glorified, our god!" And their greeting in it is: "Peace," and the end of their saying is: "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds!"
10:11 And if God hastened for the people the evil as He hastens for them the good, then they would have been ruined. We thus leave those who do not wish to meet Us wandering in their transgression.
10:12 And when hardship touches man, he calls upon Us on his side or sitting or standing. But when We remove his hardship from him, he carries on as if he never called upon Us for a hardship which touched him! Thus it was made to appear good to the transgressors what they had done.
10:13 And We have destroyed the generations before you when they transgressed; and their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but they would not believe. It is such that We recompense the criminal people.
10:14 Then We made you successors on the earth after them to see how you would perform.
10:15 And when Our clear revelations were recited to them, those who do not wish to meet Us said: "Bring a Qur'an other than this, or change it!" Say: "It is not for me to change it of my own accord, I merely follow what is inspired to me. I fear, if I disobeyed my Lord, the retribution of a great Day!"
10:16 Say: "If God had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would you have known about it. I have been residing among you for nearly a lifetime before this; do you not comprehend?"
10:17 Who is more wicked than he who invents lies about God or denies His revelations? The criminals will never succeed.
10:18 And they serve besides God what does not harm them or benefit them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with God." Say: "Are you informing God of what He does not know in the heavens or the earth?" Be He glorified and exalted above what they set up.
10:21 And if We let the people taste a mercy after some hardship had afflicted them, they take to scheming against Our revelations! Say: "God is faster in scheming;" Our messengers record what you scheme.
10:22 He is the One who carries you on land and on the sea. And when you are on the ships and We drive them with a good wind which they rejoice with, a strong gust comes to them and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think that they are finished, they implore God with loyalty and devotion to His system: "If You save us from this, we will be of the thankful."
10:23 But when He saves them, they then traverse through the land with injustice. "O people, what you seek out is only the luxury of this worldly life, then to Us is your return and We will inform you of all that you had done."
10:24 The example of the worldly life is like a water which has come down from the sky, so it mixed with the plants of the earth from what the people and the livestock eat. Then the earth takes its shape and becomes beautiful and its inhabitants think that they have mastered it; then Our judgment comes by night or by day, so We make it a wasteland as if it never prospered by the yesterday! It is such that We clarify the revelations for a people who think.
10:26 For those who do good will be good and more, and their faces will not be darkened or humiliated. These are the people of the Paradise, in it they will abide.
10:27 As for those who earn evil, the recompense of evil will be evil like it, and they will be humiliated. They do not have anyone to help them from God. It is as if their faces have been covered by a piece of darkness from the night. These are the people of the Fire, in it they will abide.
10:28 And on the Day We gather them all, then We will say to those who were polytheists: "Stop where you are, you and your partners," then We will separate between them, and their partners will say: "It was not us that you served!"
10:29 "God is enough as a witness between us and you, that we were unaware of you serving us."
10:30 It is then that every soul will know what it has done, and they will be returned to God their true patron, and they have been abandoned by that which they had invented.
10:31 Say: "Who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? Who possesses the hearing and the eyesight? And who brings the living out from the dead and brings the dead out from the living? And who manages all affairs?" They will say: "God." Say: "Will you not be righteous!"
10:32 Such is God, your true Lord. So what is after the truth except straying! Why then do you turn away?
10:33 It was thus that the command of your Lord came against those who were wicked, for they did not believe.
10:34 Say: "Are there any from those whom you have set up as partners who can initiate the creation and then return it?" Say: "God initiates the creation and then returns it." How are you deluded!
10:35 Say: "Are there any of those whom you set up as partners who can guide to the truth?" Say: "God guides to the truth. Is He who guides to the truth more worthy of being followed, or he who does not guide except after he is guided? What is wrong with you, how do you judge?"
10:37 This Qur'an could not have been produced without God; it is to authenticate what is between his hands, and to give details of the Book in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.
10:38 Or do they say: "He has invented it!" Say: "Then bring a chapter like it, and call on whom you can besides God if you are truthful."
10:39 No, they have lied about that which they had no knowledge, nor has its explanation come to them. It is also how those before them denied, so see how was the retribution of the wicked!
10:42 And there are some of them who listen to you; but can you make the deaf hear, if they do not comprehend?
10:43 And there are some of them who look at you; but can you guide the blind, if they do not see?
10:45 And the Day He gathers them, it will be as if they had stayed but an hour of a day. They will get to know one another. Losers will be those who have denied meeting God, and they have not been guided.
10:46 And if We show you some of what We promise them, or We terminate your life, to Us is their return. Then God is a witness over what they do.
10:48 And they say: "When is this promise if you are truthful?"
10:49 Say: "I do not possess for myself any harm or benefit except what God wills. For every nation is a time. When their time comes, they cannot delay it one hour nor advance it."
10:50 Say: "Do you see if His retribution will come to you by night or by day, then which portion would the criminals hasten in?"
10:51 "Will you then, when it occurs, believe in it? While now you are hastening it on!"
10:53 And they seek news from you: "Is it true?" Say: "Yes, by my Lord it is true, and you cannot escape from it."
10:54 And if every soul who wronged had possessed all that is on the earth, it would have attempted to ransom it. And they declared their regret when they saw the retribution, and it was judged between them with fairness. They were not wronged.
10:55 To God is what is in the heavens and the earth. The promise of God is true, but most of them do not know.
10:57 O people, advice has come to you from your Lord and a healing for what is in the chests, and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
10:58 Say: "By the grace of God and His mercy." For that let them rejoice, that is better than all that they gather.
10:59 Say: "Have you seen what God has sent down to you from provisions, then you have made some of it forbidden and some lawful?" Say: "Did God authorize you, or do you invent lies about God?"
10:60 And what will those who invent lies about God think on the Day of Resurrection? God is with great bounty to the people, but most of them are not thankful.
10:61 And any matter you are in, or any reciting you do of the Qur'an, or any work you do; We are witnesses over you when you undertake it. Nothing is hidden from your Lord, not even the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heavens, nor smaller than that nor larger, except it is in a clear record.
10:62 For the allies of God, there is no fear over them nor will they grieve.
10:63 Those who have believed and are aware.
10:64 For them are glad tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. There is no changing the words of God. Such is the great triumph.
10:66 Certainly, to God belong all who are in the heavens and those who are on the earth. As for those who call on partners besides God, they only follow conjecture, and they only guess.
10:68 They said: "God has taken a son." Glory be to Him! He is the Rich. To Him is what is in the heavens and the earth. Do you have proof for this? Or do you say about God what you do not know?
10:71 And recite to them the news of Noah, as he said to his people: "My people, if my station has become too troublesome for you, and my reminding you of the signs of God, then in God I place my trust. So gather your evidence and your partners, then make certain your evidence does not become against you, then come to judge me, and do not hold back."
10:72 "But if you turn away, then I have not asked you for any wage, for my wage is with God. And I have been commanded to be of those who have submitted."
10:73 They denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship, and We made them successors, and We drowned those who denied Our revelations. So see how was the punishment of those who were warned!
10:74 Then, after him, We sent messengers to their own people, so they came to them with proofs. But they did not want to believe in what they had already denied beforehand. Thus it is We stamp upon the hearts of the transgressors.
10:77 Moses said: "Would you say this about the truth when it came to you? Is this magic? The magicians will not be successful."
10:78 They said: "Have you come to us to turn us away from that which we found our fathers upon, and so that you two would have greatness in the land? We will not believe in you."
10:81 So when they cast, Moses said: "What you have brought is magic, God will disable it. God does not set right the works of the corrupters."
10:83 But none believed in Moses from his people except some from their descendants, because of their fear from Pharaoh and his commanders that he would persecute them. Pharaoh was high in the land, and he was of the tyrants.
10:84 And Moses said: "O my people, if you believe in God, then put your trust in Him if you have submitted."
10:87 And We inspired to Moses and his brother: "You shall seek out homes for your people in Egypt; and leave your homes to be a focal point, and hold the contact prayer. And give good news to the believers."
10:88 And Moses said: "Our Lord, you have given Pharaoh and his commanders adornments and wealth in this worldly life so that they will misguide from Your path. Our Lord, wipe out their wealth and bring grief to their hearts; for they will not believe until they see the painful retribution."
10:89 He said: "Your call has been responded to, so keep straight and do not follow the path of those who do not know."
10:90 And We helped the Children of Israel cross the sea, and Pharaoh and his soldiers followed them out of hatred and animosity. But when he was certain to drown, he said: "I believe that there is no god except the One in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who have submitted."
10:91 "Now you say this? While before you disobeyed and were of the corrupters!"
10:92 "This day, We will preserve your body, so that you become a sign for those after you." But most of the people are unaware of Our signs!
10:94 If you are in doubt regarding what We have sent down to you, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.
10:95 And do not be of those who have denied the revelations of God, for you will be of the losers.
10:96 Those who have deserved the retribution of your Lord do not believe.
10:98 If there was any town that benefited from its belief, then that was the people of Jonah. When they believed, We removed from them the retribution of disgrace in this worldly life, and We let them enjoy until a time.
10:99 And had your Lord willed, all the people on the earth in their entirety would have believed. Would you force the people to make them believe?
10:100 And it is not for a soul to believe except with the permission of God. And He lets taint those who do not comprehend.
10:101 Say: "Look at all that is in the heavens and the earth." But what good are the signs and warnings to a people who do not believe?
10:102 Are they waiting for the days like those who have passed away before them? Say: "Wait, for I am with you waiting."
10:104 Say: "O people, if you are in doubt of my system, then I do not serve those whom you serve besides God. But I serve God; the One who will terminate your lives; and I have been commanded to be of the believers."
10:105 And set your face to the system of monotheism, and do not be of the polytheists.
10:107 And if God afflicts you with any harm, then none can remove it except He; and if He wanted good for you, then none can turn away His grace, He brings it to whom He wishes of His servants. And He is the Forgiver, the Merciful.
10:108 Say: "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is being guided for himself, and whoever is misguided will remain so, and I am not a caretaker over you."

THE SADIST
17 year old drive in star Arch Hall Jr. gives the performance of his life as a serial killer based on the real-life Charlie Starkweather. This thriller was the first film photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond.
"A minor classic" says Psychotronic Video.
For over a generation, The Sadist has been a well-kept secret of cult movie aficionados--a top notch horror thriller that will leave you trembling on the edge of your seat.
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho made a profound and lasting impression on the world of shock cinema, and was followed by many imitators. Whereas Psycho became a major and influential hit, though, films like Frantic and Peeping Tom were derided by critics and ignored by audiences. It was one thing to accept experimental storytelling techniques and visceral onscreen violence from an established film celebrity like Hitchcock, but quite another to stomach such tricks from foreign and independent filmmakers. Not until a generation later did movie fans start rediscovering these Psycho-wannabes and realizing what excellent films they are.
The Sadist was an attempt by low-budget exploitation guru Arch Hall Sr. to cash in on the craze. Hall's company, Fairway International, had already subjected audiences to schlock in the form of Eegah! (about a giant teenage caveman) and Wild Guitar (a typical 60's era teen exploitation flick)--both starring Hall's teenage son Arch Hall, Jr. Both films were hastily made and of no consequence.
In 1963, though, Fairway contracted writer-director James Landis to helm a Psycho style thriller, which Landis did with more wit, intelligence, and sheer gut-wrenching style than anything Fairway churned out before or since. In fact, The Sadist is so different from Fairway's other output, that the question is begged how it came to pass that lightning struck just once.
One possibility is that Landis (who, by the way, is no relation to director John Landis) actually contributed less to the end product than did his cinematographer--Vilmos Zsigmond. Zsigmond had already collaborated with Ray Dennis Steckler on previous Fairway pictures, but The Sadist was his first solo gig. Indeed, the film displays a powerful visual sense, with crisp photography and inventive compositions. With little money to pay for sets or effects, The Sadist works wonders with its small cast and single set merely by its photographic bravado. Zsigmond logged a few more hours in the exploitation movie business before graduating to Oscar-winning stardom on such films as Deliverance, The Deer Hunter, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blow Out, The Two Jakes, Bonfire of the Vanities, and Ghost and the Darkness.
Landis' script involves a pair of teenage killers on a murder spree, who encounter and torture a group of school teachers on their way to a baseball game. The gripping cat-and-mouse games that ensue will leave you breathless. The story is loosely based on the real-life case of teenage killers Charlie Starkweather and Caril Fugate. In the late 1950's, Starkweather and Fugate murdered 10 people in a multi-state killing spree, including Fugate's family.
17-year old Arch Hall Jr. turns in a riveting performance as the crazed serial killer, effectively playing off his previous screen persona as a rock-and-roll singin' teen idol good guy. He sneers and staggers with a manic glee, in an over-the-top performance that predates Woody Harrelson's Natural Born Killer by a good thirty-plus years.
The film also predates the genre of mad-slasher films that proliferated in the 1970's and 1980's. Not to give too much of the plot away to those of you who haven't seen it, but the structure of the film is the same throughout the genre. But whereas the mad-slasher movies get their kicks from gore, The Sadist earns it thrills from genuine suspense. The simplicity of the film (five characters in a junkyard) not only kept the budget down, it turned the project into the kind of formal exercise usually associated with Hitchcock. Like Hitchcock's Rope, The Sadist unfolds in real time, chronicling 94 minutes of these people's lives (and deaths).
Co-starring with Arch Hall Jr. is Marilyn Manning as the Fugate-inspired girlfriend Judy. Manning drips with animalistic passions, and plays the role without ever speaking--that is, until her one-word line in the film's climax. Hall's cousin Helen Hovey makes her film debut as the virginal blonde Doris, and Richard Alden plays the dashing young man whose courage fails him under stress. (Remember the "rules" of horror movies as outlined in Wes Craven's Scream, and pay close attention to who survives and who dies).
Following his work on The Sadist, Zsigmond joined again with director Ray Dennis Steckler to make The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies, which is now an infamous cult favorite, endowed with one of the best exploitation movie titles ever. Originally, Fairway paired The Sadist with Incredibly Strange Creatures as a double feature. However, Steckler became upset that Arch Hall Sr. was putting more muscle into promoting The Sadist (the superior film, an artistic achievement, and a starring vehicle for his son) rather than Steckler's second-billed zombie musical. So, Steckler bought back his film and released it himself separately, starting a successful career as a minor cult celebrity.
Meanwhile, The Sadist never achieved the recognition it was due. Fairway's earlier efforts had conditioned distributors, critics, and audiences for another piece of movie cheese. Audiences expecting another bout of teen critics were unwilling to acknowledge quality filmmaking outside Hollywood's hegemony. The Sadist fell through the cracks.
All Day Entertainment is proud to bring this thriller to a wider audience. We have remastered the film from an original 35mm print. The print in question was actually screened at a drive-in--but not in 1963, recently! After reviewing a preview copy made from an earlier film transfer, we were disheartened to discover the print had suffered some (minor) damage since then. Although the image quality was sharp, there were some scratches, which sometimes effected the soundtrack as well, and a few seconds had been spliced out of one reel.
The film was transferred by veteran colorist Bob Johanson at Washington'sInterface Media Group, using a CCD-based Philips Quadra Telecine and a DaVinci Renaissance color corrector. Using digital noise reduction techniques, we removed the specks and flashes of dirt that did not come off when cleaned, stabilized the image, and eliminated the dappling of dried developing chemicals. So the digitally remastered Sadist actually looks better in some respects than it ever has
In 2017, Code Red published a new Blu-Ray edition of The Sadist featuring a new high-definition transfer from the 35mm negative. This Blu-Ray edition includes the audio commentary that All Day recorded with Vilmos Zsigmond in 1997 for the All Day DVD edition.

More entries for Barcelona World Race
Bernard Stamm and Conrad Humpreys join forces for forthcoming Barcelona World Race 4/6/07
TAGS: Barcelona World Race
Swiss sailor Bernard Stamm, skipper of Cheminées Poujoulat, has announced his participation in the Barcelona World Race. Stamm who recently became the overall winner of the Velux 5 Oceans Race, has confirmed his co-skipper as British sailor Conrad Humpreys.
This brings the total number of entries to eight so far for the Barcelona World Race that starts on 11 November this year. Co-skippered by 16 of the world's top offshore sailors, the quality of the duos of the Barcelona World Race is boosted further by this entry. Stamm and Humphreys have completed three circumnavigations each and takes the combined tally for the number of circumnavigations by the competing skippers to an incredible 44 in total.
Stamm's Open 60 Cheminées Poujoulat is the ex-Virbac-Paprec (a Farr design, launched in 2003), previously skippered by a fellow-Barcelona World Race competitor Jean-Pierre Dick. This boat has an impressive track record including winning the 2003 and 2005 Transat Jacques Vabre, finishing sixth in the 2004/05 Vendée Globe and third in the 2006 Route du Rhum.
Commenting on the recent announcement Stamm said: "Conrad and I have completed exactly the same number of circumnavigations each. The three round the world voyages we each have under our belts, will be hugely beneficial to us during this race, as we will both be famiiar with what we will be confronted with while we are out there. Conrad knows the IMOCA 60ft monohull having already raced in the Vendée Globe in a similar boat. He is very organised, a great guy and we get on really well. On the human plan, all is okay; for the life on sea and his sailors' competence, I'm not worried at all, his experience is considerable! I know Conrad is very specialised in terms of weather forecasting which is very important in this race.
"A two crew race is more difficult for the boat because the two sailors will push it more! As I don't know my new boat very well, it will be an accelerated and invaluable training for the 2008 Vendée Globe. On the human side of things, the advantage with having two onboard is that you can rely on each other. It is important to race with someone who shares your objectives because three months can be a very long time. I think a crew who has issues with harmony can't win. On a crossing of 15 days, it's possible but not on a round a world race."
Humpreys added: "There are few sailors in the world who have enough determination for racing round the world three times in a such little time. When I found out that Bernard wanted to race in the Barcelona World Race, I immediately wanted to join him, the decision was easy to make. Bernard is a determined sailor and I think his Open 60 is the best prepared boat for this race."


UNICEF's 2009 Humanitarian Action Report (HAR) highlights the plight of children and women around the globe in humanitarian emergencies.
The Humanitarian Action Report is UNICEF's annual funding appeal for protracted emergencies and is seeking just over $1 billion (approximately £730 million) to assist children and women in 36 countries. The amount sought is some 17% higher than UNICEF's 2008 appeal, largely because of increased needs in eastern and southern Africa.
"Many countries featured in the report are silent or forgotten emergencies," said UNICEF Executive Director, Ann M. Veneman. "Women and children are dying every day due to disease, poverty and hunger, but sadly their deaths go largely unnoticed."
The report notes that over half the funds are to continue UNICEF support to victims of the five largest global humanitarian operations: in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
"I have recently returned from Zimbabwe where the economy is crumbling and the cholera outbreak is not yet controlled," said Veneman, the first head of a UN agency to visit the country in over two years. "Over half the population is receiving food aid and basic social services are collapsing."
In recent decades, the number and severity of natural disasters has increased significantly. The emergencies included in the Humanitarian Action Report represent only a small fraction of UNICEF's emergency response activities. Between 2005 and 2007, UNICEF responded to an annual average of 276 emergencies in 92 countries. Over 50% were caused by disasters, 30% were a result of conflict, and health-related emergencies, like epidemics, accounted for 19% of UNICEF's emergency response.
"In 2008 UNICEF's emergency relief work faced an increasing number of global humanitarian challenges which resulted in more vulnerable children and women than ever before requiring urgent support and protection. As well as the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza, there was renewed fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, worsening food insecurity and a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe, catastrophic earthquakes in China and Pakistan and a devastating hurricane season which affected the Caribbean, to name but a few. The Humanitarian Action Report highlights the need for vital funds so that UNICEF can respond effectively and efficiently through its work in these regions."
"The current humanitarian crisis in Gaza highlights the extent of the emergency relief work with which UNICEF is involved. There are no quick fixes for the lives of the thousands of vulnerable children who have been affected, both physically and psychologically, by the violence which has taken place over the past three weeks. The negative impact on them is immense and UNICEF is involved in vital immediate and long-term work to support these children and the millions more whose lives are threatened and disrupted by the hundreds of emergencies, natural and man-made, to which we must respond every year."
The report also notes that higher food prices and climate change have negatively affected most of the countries for which emergency aid is sought. UNICEF has initiatives in place to address nutrition insecurity, but more resources are required to ensure the response meets urgent 2009 needs.
The UNICEF report cites recent studies which find the risk of hunger could increase for some 50 million people worldwide by 2010 as a result of climate change. Some experts have estimated that in the next decade children and women will represent 65% of all those affected by climate-related disasters. If these predictions prove correct, some 175 million victims of climate change will be children.
UNICEF is present in more than 150 countries and is often among the first responders to crises.
"These funds will help UNICEF respond effectively and efficiently to the needs of children affected by emergencies," said Veneman. "As a result the lives of many will be saved."

2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (also known as Paytm Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy due to sponsorship reasons) was the fourteenth edition of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, a Twenty20 competition that was played in India. It started on 4 November 2021, with the final taking place on 22 November 2021. The tournament formed part of the 2021–22 Indian domestic cricket season, which was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in July 2021. Tamil Nadu were the defending champions.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be started on 20 October 2021, and postponed to 27 October 2021, but eventually started on 4 November 2021. The teams were initially divided into five groups, with seven teams each in Groups A and B, and eight each in Groups C, D and E. However, in August 2021, the BCCI announced that the tournament would be divided into six groups, with six teams in the five Elite Groups, and eight teams in the Plate Group. The winners of each Elite Group progressed directly to the quarter-finals, with the second-placed teams and the winner of the Plate Group playing in pre-quarters matches to determine the final eight teams. It was played in six cities across the country which are Baroda, Delhi, Guwahati, Haryana, Lucknow, Vijayawada, with all the knockout matches played in Delhi.

On 8 November 2021, in the Plate Group match between Vidarbha and Manipur, Akshay Karnewar of Vidarbha became the first bowler to bowl four overs in a Twenty20 cricket match without conceding a run.

Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Bengal, Hyderabad and Rajasthan all won their Elite Groups, advancing to the quarter-finals, with Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Saurashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Vidarbha progressing to the preliminary quarter-finals. Vidarbha, Karnataka and Kerala all won their preliminary quarter-final matches to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. In the quarter-finals, Tamil Nadu, Vidarbha, Hyderabad and Karnataka all won their matches, with Karnataka winning a Super Over against Bengal.

In the first semi-final match, defending champions Tamil Nadu beat Hyderabad by eight wickets, after Hyderabad were bowled out for 90 runs. In the second semi-final, Karnataka scored 176/7 from their twenty overs against Vidarbha, winning by four runs to join Tamil Nadu in the final. In the final, Tamil Nadu beat Karnataka by four wickets to win the tournament and retain their title.

Small Business in the United States are struggling to survive
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English. I'm Christopher Cruise.
FAITH LAPIDUS: And I'm Faith Lapidus. Many small, family-owned businesses in the United States are struggling to survive. Along with the sluggish economy, they face competition from big box chain stores and restaurants. This week on our program, we visit a Washington, DC area hardware store, drugstore and restaurant and learn how they are competing successfully for customers.
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: The restaurant business is very competitive in the United States and many people choose to eat out at well-known chain restaurants. So how are small, family-owned restaurants making ends meet? We visited Primo Family Restaurant in suburban Washington. It is an example of a small, family-owned operation where business is booming.
FAITH LAPIDUS: It is another busy day at Primo Family Restaurant -- a popular dining spot in Alexandria, Virginia for more than twenty-five years. C.A. Savoy says he does not like the atmosphere or food at the chain restaurants. Instead, he enjoys eating at Primo's.
C.A. SAVOY: "Everything in here is home cooking. It's all fresh food and delicious."
(SOUND)
Server Tina Mitrakas has worked at Primo's since it opened.
TINA MITRAKAS: "I like the customers. Everybody is friendly. I like the people I work with. It's like my second home."
Lynne Sepple's son Nick is here, celebrating his birthday.
LYNNE SEPPLE: "My son has been here since he was six days old. He's been here once a week since then and now he's 10."
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Mary Wise often stops by Primo's after work. She plays the role of Martha Washington, wife of the first United States president, at nearby Mount Vernon. It is the home and property where George and Martha Washington once lived. Ms. Wise says enjoys Primo's because it feels comfortable.
MARY WISE: "It is a place where you can consistently have good food, not too expensive. You know you're never going to be confronted with something that's a surprise. I think people like that."
Another appeal, she says, is owner Jim Nicopoulos.
JIM NICOPOULOS: "I like to get involved with my clients. I find out about them. I touch them. I have to be involved with my customers and my staff at the same time."
Everyone calls him Jimmy, including Mr. Savoy and his wife, who are long-time customers.
C.A. SAVOY: "We've become part of Jimmy's family now. He refers to Joyce and I as his mother and father."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Jimmy bought Primo Family Restaurant five years ago. It is truly a family business - from the photos on the wall, to the dining area, where his father-in-law seats patrons. And in the kitchen, Jimmy's cousin Spiro Routoulas prepares Greek specialties.
SPIRO ROUTOULAS: "He's a funny guy. He comes inside the kitchen and tastes what I make. Oh, it's fun."
JIM NICOPOULOS: "It's quality control, Greek-style."
Besides the food and friendliness, Jimmy says Primo's has another appeal over the chain restaurants.
JIMMY NICOPOULOS: "Chain restaurants have to go through a process of buying their food from large industries and distributors. We can get our produce local and our meats."
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Elizabeth Bessel notices the difference and stays away from the nearby chains.
ELIZABETH BESSEL: "I don't find the food to be that great. When I eat here, Jimmy will come to the table and tell us that he got that produce from somebody's farm."
Jimmy says he thinks there is room in the neighborhood for both family and chain restaurants. His customers agree.
C.A. SAVOY: "It's been here for twenty-five years and I see it being here for twenty-five more years."
FAITH LAPIDUS: One hundred years ago, Morgan Pharmacy opened its doors in Washington. Through economic ups and downs, the small, family-owned pharmacy has thrived. But how is it staying in business today with a larger drugstore just down the street? In the second part of our program on the survival of small businesses in the United States, we learn what Morgan Pharmacy is doing to keep its doors open.
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Morgan Pharmacy has an old fashioned feel, with a display of old prescription bottles and the original shelves from when the store opened nineteen twelve. Pharmacist Barry Deutschman bought the store twenty years ago.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "During the time period between then, and the time we stopped carrying tobacco, you can see people would rest their cigarettes on counter here."
The pharmacy is located in a residential neighborhood of Washington and most people hear about it through word of mouth.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "Once somebody comes in here who's has never been here, they love the place and they want to come back."
Sandra Sugar has been coming to Morgan's for years.
SANDRA SUGAR: "This has nostalgia just coming in here."
Toni Stephens feels a special bond.
TONI STEPHENS: "The people who work here are helpful and more like family."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Some customers enjoy the new products in old fashioned packaging.
CUSTOMER: "It smells so good."
Others, Mr. Deutshman says, like items that are old fashioned.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap."
After prescriptions, chocolate is the big seller.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "People who take medicine occasionally need a treat and they really want good candy."
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: The number of independent pharmacies has been decreasing. The National Community Pharmacists Association says about twenty thousand exist today -- down by half from twenty years ago. They are being replaced by drug and supermarket chains, which often open up in the same neighborhood, and offer a wider selection of products.
But customer Abby Griffin says the chain stores are impersonal, so she comes to Morgan's.
ABBY GRIFFIN: "It's the friendliness, and you feel you trust the pharmacist, and you trust their advice."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Independents like Morgan Pharmacy often provide services the chain stores do not, such as compounding certain drugs and creams by hand and delivering prescriptions. Mr. Deutshman says the pharmacists also take the time to talk with customers and get to know them.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "So it's more than just being the neighborhood pharmacist, it's being part of the community. You don't get treated like this in chain drug stores."
Mr. Deutshman hopes Morgan Pharmacy will be around for a long time.
BARRY DEUTSCHMAN: "I have the most wonderful clientele in the world. I have no plans on retiring. Our plan is to hang in there as long as we can."
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: The popularity of large home improvement stores in the United States has made many neighborhood hardware stores a memory. But one family-owned hardware store near Washington is beating the odds and business is better than ever. Next we take you to a hardware store that has been around for more than one hundred years.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Welcome to Browns Hardware in Falls Church, Virginia, where you can find a wide variety of hardware and other items. Browns brings back memories for customer Dennis Kraft.
DENNIS KRAFT: "The thing that reminds me of the stores when I was in as a kid is that the shelves are stacked to the ceiling."
Hugh Brown has owned the store for more than fifty years.
DENNIS KRAFT: "Hi, Mr. Brown. How are you?"
Everyone calls him Mr. Brown, even John Taylor, the store manager for fifteen years.
JOHN TAYLOR: "He's a great guy to work for. It's almost like working with your dad."
At eighty-three years old, Mr. Brown is the third generation to run this family business. It was founded by his grandfather in the late eighteen hundreds, then handed down to Mr. Brown's father.
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: The current store, built in the nineteen fifties, has kept its old gumball machines. And Mr. Brown still uses his grandfather's safe.
He thinks the store has been successful because the customers come first.
HUGH BROWN: "We try to take care of them when they come in. Try to have the merchandise that they want."
Bobbi Beck has been coming in for thirty years to buy items for her jewelry business called "Hard Wear."
BOBBI BECK: "The people who work here are like family to me."
Mr. Taylor says customers keep coming back because they trust Browns.
JOHN TAYLOR: "They know we won't sell them something that they don't need. Some people will come in and talk to us for twenty and thirty minutes after a sale if we're not busy. We have a good time."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Despite its success, this neighborhood landmark could disappear. Competition from large, national home improvement warehouses, known as big box stores, is driving many small hardware stores out of business. Browns' customers say they do not want that to happen here.
JOHN GRAYZEL: You can find things that you can't find at a gigantic store that's ten times as big."
SHIRLEY STREET: "You can always find someone to help you here, and someone who knows what you need. It's a personal touch and you cannot find that at a big box store."
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Many big box stores also do not provide services like fixing screens. And instead of having to buy a box of nails at the big box stores, Mr. Brown sells individual nails that are weighed on a scale made in nineteen twelve.
HUGH BROWN: "They just want a few, and they love to come back here, and pick out what they want."
The store also carries soap that Mr. Brown remembers from his youth.
HUGH BROWN: "There's no perfume in it or anything. It's just a heavy laundry soap."
Mr. Taylor says some people come in just to look around, and find unusual items like an owl that scares birds out of gardens.
And this fly zapper.
With no family of his own, Mr. Brown plans to pass the store on to Mr. Taylor. When that happens, a new family tradition may begin.
JOHN TAYLOR: "My son works here. He's been working here since he was in high school."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Our program was produced by Brianna Blake, with reporting by Deborah Block. I'm Faith Lapidus.
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: And I'm Christopher Cruise. You can find videos about today's program on our website, 51voa.com. You can also find transcripts and MP3s of our programs, along with podcasts and activities for learning English. Join us again next week for THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English.

Welcome to Venice
Discover the magic and mystery of Venice, a city built entirely on water. Along the iconic Piazza San Marco, elaborate buildings attest to its splendor and elegance. But the city's character lies along crooked calli and across little bridges.
With its 150 canals, 400 bridges and magnificent 16th- and 17th-century palaces and piazzas, it is no surprise that Venice is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Gloriously
romantic in spring, triumphant in summer, noble in autumn and seductive in winter, it is a popular city break destination year round.
Planning a Trip:
Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you'll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.
Spring: Late April through early June is a good time to visit Venice: the weather is mild, but the volume of tourists is larger than it is in summer.
Summer: Summers are warm and humid. The advantages are fewer tourists (but their numbers are still substantial), it almost never rains, and the beaches of the Lido are just a boat ride away.
Fall: Autumn, like spring, is a good time for visiting Venice. It's usually pleasant and sunny well into October, and it doesn't really begin to get cold until mid-November. Acquaalta is most frequent, and severe, in later November.
Winter: Venetian winters are relatively mild, with frequent rainy spells, but also many more sunny days than there are in Northern Europe or much of North America. There are substantial crowds during Carnevale, and prices for hotels and even in some restaurants skyrocket.
Getting Around:
Aside from on boats, the only way to explore Venice is by walking — and getting lost repeatedly. You'll navigate many twisting streets whose names change constantly and don't appear on any map, and streets that may very well simply end in a blind alley or spill abruptly into a canal. You'll also cross dozens of footbridges. Treat getting bewilderingly lost in Venice as part of the fun, and budget more time than you'd think necessary to get wherever you're going.
Street Maps & Signage: The free map offered by the tourist office and most hotels has good intentions, but it doesn't even show — much less name or index — all the calli (streets) and pathways of Venice. For that, pick up a more detailed map (ask for a piantadellacittà at news kiosks — especially those at the train station and around San Marco) or most bookstores. The best (and most expensive) is the highly detailed Touring Club Italiano map, available in a variety of forms (folding or spiral-bound) and scales. Almost as good, and easier to carry, is the simple and cheap 1:6500 folding map put out by StortiEdizioni (its cover is white-edged with pink, which fades to blue at the bottom).
Still, Venice's confusing layout confounds even the best maps and navigators. You're often better off just stopping every couple of blocks and asking a local to point you in the right direction (always know the name of the campo/square or major sight closest to the address you're looking for, and ask about that).
As you wander, look for the ubiquitous yellow signs (well, usually yellow) whose destinations and arrows direct you toward five major landmarks: Ferrovia (the train station), Piazzale Roma, Rialto (the main bridge), San Marco, and the Accademia (also useful as the only other Grand Canal bridge below the train station).
History and Culture:
Venice, one of the most remarkable and extraordinary cities in Europe, has been a first-class cultural centre from time immemorial. The 'Queen of the Adriatic' has given birth to such eminent personalities such as Marco Polo and Giacomo Casanova, who are famous throughout the world. During the epoch of the Renaissance, Venice was among the most important art and cultural centres, with its own style of musical composition and a host of great painters and artists. Today, Venice is still a city of culture, which can be felt everywhere through its unique atmosphere of romance, art and architecture.
The charm of Venetian culture is best experienced during the marvelous festivals and carnivals that are the highlight of local cultural life. The most attractive event is undoubtedly the Carnival: a splendid celebration that makes both locals and tourists forget everything else within the eight days in January (or February) each year when this colourful event is carried out. The programme consists of a row of concerts, balls, theatre performances and emblematic processions with masked participants. Namely, the rich decorated masks and costumes with magnificent ornaments represent the major appeal of Carnival. Their mass production has become one of the most profitable branches of tourist industry in the city. The Venetian Carnival is the second most renowned and spectacular event of this kind in Europe after the Fasching in Germany. Carnival first appeared as a typical Catholic custom and its origins can be traced back to the 18th Century, when the glorious winter parties took place on the streets of Venice.
Venetian architecture and urban planning are also a characteristic feature of local culture. Splendid imposing palaces, cathedrals and churches reveal the high level of development of Venice's economy and society during different historical periods, particularly the Renaissance. These cultural monuments of extraordinary significance symbolise Venice worldwide, as the countless canals and waterways are widely recognised as one of the most miraculous facilities in urban planning – ever. They give the 'City of Water' its unmatchable romantic and glamorous ambience.
For those who want to gain a more detailed impression of Venice – and its art and history – should by all means drop in at one of the various museums and art galleries that show valuable treasures from all fields of knowledge, science and culture. The best place to start your museum tour is at Doge's Palace, an amazing building that amalgamates styles from all epochs; and all lords of the city throughout the years have left their own imprint on it. Today it is used as a massive museum with its spectacular interior and precious collections of paintings by great artists like Tintoretto, Veronese and Titian. Other exclusive museums are Marciano, with valuable manuscripts and mosaics on display; Correr, dedicated to the history and art of Venice; and the School of San Rocco, the greatest destination for art lovers in Venice.
Venice boasts a large number of prominent composers that brought the city fame as one of the musical centres of Europe during the Renaissance. The world-known Venetian School has produced extremely talented composers over the course of time, with Antonio Vivaldi and Tomaso Albinoni being the most important. Today the Venetian musical scene ranks among the most prestigious in the world with its top-level opera and musical performances that form a great part of the cultural programme of the city. If you are keen on theatre, Venice is the right place for you. The legendary Teatro Italia has given stage to world classics for more than 500 years.
Also, the emblematic Teatro la Fenice provides a delightful experience for art lovers of all tastes and preferences.
Museum houses of eminent citizens of Venice, or the 'Queen of the Adriatic', will also give you a special insight into the essence of Venetian culture. Quite possibly, the most famous person to ever live in Venice is Marco Polo. His house hosts interesting objects and documents concerning his life – plus priceless exhibits from the places in the Far East that he visited and popularised in Europe. Antonio Vivaldi, Titian and a galaxy of great artists and musicians also have museums and houses where tourist can become acquainted with their art and work.
As one of the most picturesque and romantic cities worldwide, Venice has an undeniable presence of works from all branches of visual arts and literature. Shakespeare's tragedy, 'Othello', is set in Venice, as well as countless films such Casanova, James Bond and Indiana Jones. More than 100 pieces of visual art are connected to Venice, including a large quantity of video games.

Youth Hockey: Should You Play "Up"?
On the record, I'm against it.
Unless you're of Gretzky, Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid, or Matthews calibre, you should really stick to playing with your own age group.
In reality, though, my oldest plays "up".
So take what I just said above with a grain of salt.
As most reading this would already know, ice hockey is a sport that you need to start early in order to excel. If you start late, it's really, really, tough to catch up.
But you can also start "too" early -- and that's what we did.
My two oldest could skate, like, legit skate when they were four years old, you know, when most other kids are lacing up their skates for the very first time or signing up for learn to skate classes.
I held Duncan, my oldest, back for one season as a 5 year old to play with kids his own age and it was a mistake. Huge mistake and a year lost when it comes to development.
The following season, though, he thankfully skipped the level he should have been in and jumped right into mites as a 6 year old (which is technically a year early).
My middle son, Henrik, is following suit by playing "up" for his age, as well.
Yes, we're that family that always has to ask for the programs they sign up for to "open up" the registration for kids a year younger.
Anyway, after two seasons of playing travel hockey as a mite, Duncan moved up to be a a squirt -- like most kids would...except he's still a year too young to really be a squirt.
It wasn't how I really wanted things to shake out...but he literally didn't have an appropriate team to play with at his age level.
After a few sleepless nights trying to come to terms with it, I'd convinced myself (and my wife) that playing "up" will work out in the long run.
Afterall, three seasons at the squirt level (I don't expect him to go to peewee with his teammates as an underager) is probably better than three seasons at the mite level would have been, developmentally -- provided he doesn't get discouraged playing on the third line for another season.
And that's the kicker. In pick up events or tournament teams with kids his own age, he dominates. Like, running away with the league scoring title type of success.
On his regular team, though, he's near the bottom of the depth chart and struggles to chip in more than a goal or two per season.
But that's the reason he's so successful with the appropriate age group... In two more years, he'll look like a peewee (ages 11 and 12) playing with kids that have just come up from a cross-ice mite program.
Henrik, the middle one, will likely play three seasons at the mite level instead...but watch out, he'll be nasty when that final season comes around.
Vicariously, I can not wait until the 2019-2020 season when my two oldest will be filling up the scoresheet on their respective teams while my youngest will likely be suiting up for his first season of travel hockey.
In a twist, my oldest was also extended the opportunity to skip the first grade -- an offer that we turned down.
Academically, we knew he could handle it.
Socially, we knew he could handle it too.
Physically? Well... let's just say that we foresaw that it would be a HUGE disadvantage to be nearly two years younger than his peers once high school rolled around...and that sealed the deal.
Ironic, though, that he plays hockey with kids that in that age bracket anyway.

Q: How to instantiate a bean during the CDI AfterDeploymentValidation lifecycle event and pass a parameter to the bean? I'm working on a CDI extension which needs populate a HashMap with all the discovered beans that have a specific annotation and then during the AfterDeploymentValidation lifecyle event instantiate an @ApplicationScoped bean and pass the HashMap to the newly instantiated bean.
Using the following code I can find any beans that have been annotated with @CQRSCommandHandler and populate a HashMap with the name of the bean and parameter set on the annotation.
public class CQRSExtension implements Extension {

    private Map<String, String> discoveredCommandHandlers = new HashMap<String, String>();

    public <T> void processAnnotatedType(@Observes @WithAnnotations({ CQRSCommandHandler.class }) ProcessAnnotatedType<T> processAnnotatedType) {

        AnnotatedType<T> annotatedType = processAnnotatedType.getAnnotatedType();

        String commandName = annotatedType.getAnnotation(CQRSCommandHandler.class).command().getName();
        String handlerName = annotatedType.getJavaClass().getName();

        discoveredCommandHandlers.put(commandName, handlerName);

    }
}

What I'm struggling with is how I should eagerly instantiate the bean and pass the HashMap to this bean.
I can find plenty of examples such as this one (http://ovaraksin.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/eager-cdi-beans.html) that show how to eagerly instantiate any beans that have a specific annotation, however I cannot work out how to instantiate one specific bean and pass a HashMap to this bean.
Ideally I would prefer not to use reflections to scan for the annotation.
How can I instantiate one specific bean and pass a HashMap to this bean? Alternatively this there a better way to achieve the same result without using reflections?

A: Why do you need to eagerly instantiate the bean?
You have two options:

*

*Inject the extension into the bean instead, and use the HashMap in there.

E.g.
@Inject
public MyAppScopedBean(MyExtension extension) {
    this.someHashMap = extension.getHashMap();
}

*Pass the HashMap into a producer method to provide injection support for the HashMap.

You're essentially trying to break the concept of DI if you really want to instantiate the bean yourself.

A: If runtime scanning is an alternative, you might want to take a look at https://code.google.com/p/reflections/
It provides an easy and powerful API.
Otherwise take a look at this link. The example in 16.10 is very similar, since in the example values in beans are set by the extension. You could adapt the example to set the hashMap into your application scoped bean. You would the simply use an observer method like this
  ApplicationScopedBean void processInjectionTarget(
        @Observes ProcessInjectionTarget<ApplicationScopedBean> pit) { ...

and set the map into the bean in your wrapped InjectionTaget implementation.

Bravo Home Tours
Jennifer Aydin Gives A Look Inside Her Childhood Home in Long Island
April 2, 2019, 10:26 AM ET
The Real Housewives of New Jersey mama wants us all to take a tour.
By Courtney Thompson
Nothing brings on a bout of nostalgia quite like your childhood home. When I recently visited my hometown for a high school reunion, I drove by the house where I grew up and introduced myself to the new owners who were gardening outside. They insisted I come in for a tour, and stepping foot in that towering Victorian was akin to stepping in a time machine. Every nook and cranny I laid eyes on came with memories, from playing hide and seek in the coat closet to chasing my sister up the back staircase.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Jennifer Aydin is likely reminiscing about her own childhood memories this week, now that the Long Island home she grew up in is for sale. Posting the listing photos of the home on her Instagram page, Jennifer wrote, "The Plainview Long Island house I grew up in is for sale Quiet street, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and in ground pool contact @reneemilanirealtor for more info." Considering Jennifer's got 106,000 followers, something tells us the property's broker Reneé Turchiano Milani is going to get a few leads this week!
For sale for $799,000, the 2,832-square-foot home has five bedrooms, three bathrooms (a far cry from Jennifer's current 16-bathroom home!!), and an in-ground pool! Check out the spacious home's details below.
Photo: Zillow.com
Located in Long Island, the white-and-brick home has a two-car garage.
The tiled foyer leads to a grand staircase.
The formal living room overlooks the front yard and features wood floors.
The eat-in kitchen has black granite counters.
Located in the back of the home, the great room has heated floors and overlooks the pool.
Located on a 10,000-square-foot lot, the house features a fenced-in backyard and an in-ground pool.

Introducing – Dr. Alex Thomas.
Ratings12345
July 1, 2019 Spartanburg, SC. Nease & Higginbotham Orthodontics, based in Spartanburg, SC, is excited and proud to announce the addition of Dr. K. Alexandra "Alex" Pischke Thomas to their orthodontic team.
Dr. Alex Thomas
Dr. Alexandra "Alex" Thomas is a Southern girl born and raised. She called Atlanta home for the first 16 years of her life up until she moved to a small town in northern Virginia, where she graduated high school. From the time she could crawl, she has been an equine and animal enthusiast. This passion initially inspired her to major in Animal and Veterinary Science at Clemson University. She also minored in business administration thanks to her dad who sparked a love for business in her heart. It was not until the spring of her senior year, having already been accepted into vet school, that some sincere soul searching led her to explore other professions.
A visit to the dentist in Clemson peaked her interest in dentistry, and after a semester of shadowing at his office, it was clear where her new path would lead her. Dr. Thomas received her dental degree at the Medical University of South Carolina and where she graduated top of her dental school class for clinical excellence and number two overall. In June of 2019, she completed her residency in orthodontics at the University of Michigan, one of the country's top residency programs. Dr. Thomas also received a masters in Orthodontics from the University of Michigan and her research was done on 3D printing and its vast applications in orthodontics.
She and her husband Zack have two wonderful four-legged kids, a black lab, Belle, and a beagle, Beau. Raised in a family of all girls, she was her dad's "boy" and shares his love of the outdoors. As a family, they enjoy all outdoor activities and are excited to explore all the upstate has to offer. Dr. Thomas and her family love horses, shooting sporting clays, bird hunting, any and all things fitness and a little fine dining along the way. They are looking forward to being back in the South and being closer to family as well as playing an integral part of Nease and Higginbotham Orthodontics, their church and their community. Alex and Zack are also looking forward to diving back into Clemson athletics! Go Tigers!
Since 1972, Nease and Higginbotham Orthodontics has strived to serve our patients and our community by treating each and everyone like family. Founder, Doctor Philip Higginbotham, expanded from the original office location in East Spartanburg, to include a location on Spartanburg's west side in 1982. He recognized the need to expand to better serve his patients. In 1999, Doctor Eric Nease joined Dr. Higginbotham's team and he decided to open an office to serve the Gaffney area in 2008.
Our team has continued to look for ways to serve the needs of our communities and our patients and we are ecstatic about the recent addition of Live Laugh Smile Orthodontics, previously owned by Dr. Gary Horvath, to our orthodontic family. With their two additional locations in West Spartanburg and Union, our four doctors can now more adequately serve the needs of our patients across the Upstate.
