Beto O'Rourke Open to Broadening Gun Buyback Proposal
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke says he's open to broadening his proposal to require owners of AK-47s and AR-15s to sell them to the government, Fox31 Denver reported.
During an emotional town hall Thursday in Aurora, a man who identified himself as a survivor of the 1999 Columbine massacre noted that the shooters there didn't use the military-style weapons O'Rourke wants to take. They instead used regular semi-automatic weapons. He challenged O'Rourke to confiscate those arms as well.
"If there's a way to improve what we proposed, I want to make sure we're reflecting that," O'Rourke told reporters afterward.
Most pistols and many rifles in the U.S. are semi-automatic. In contrast, there are about 10 million AK-47s and AR-15s out of more than 300 million firearms in private hands in the country, Fox31 Denver adds.
O'Rourke may have unknowingly answered the question precisely how the Columbine survivor wanted him too. Multiple conservative operatives confirm the man who asked the question is a gun rights activist who has spoken out against gun control in the past.
Regardless, the moment was just one of many impactful moments during the question and answer period between O'Rourke and the crowd.
One woman, Lauren Boebert, who traveled from Rifle, Colorado, told O'Rourke "Hell no" he won't take away her guns. Other gun control supporters cheered the candidates proposals.
"We shouldn't have to live in fear," one woman from El Paso Texas said.
Afterward, O'Rourke told Fox 31 political Reporter Joe St George he understood his gun plan stirs emotions – he just cares about those who have been victims of gun violence more. "Those are the emotions, I care about," O'Rourke said.

The Walking Dead: S10 E18 'Find Me' – Review
By Ben Wright (@iamzavagno | www.xgeeks.co.uk)
This review contains spoilers.
A slow-motion Dog and Daryl reunion is always the best way to start an episode of The Walking Dead, if you ask me! As Daryl said, "This is what I'm talking about!"
Daryl, Carol and Dog hit the road on a hunt and it's about time that we got some alone time with these two that isn't a painful and emotional heart-to-heart. Just get back to woods, tracking some food and killing Walkers! Let's get back to basics for the next hour! These two have such a great dynamic, so I was already geared up for a good episode!
In the woods, and on the trail of some deer, Dog suddenly bolts and Carol and Daryl take off after him. At this point my heart is in my mouth because we need to protect Dog at all costs! When the pair finally catch up to him they arrive at a rundown shack. In a flashback we see Daryl looking at a woman hugging Dog. We are now five years in the past… Looks like we are going to get the Daryl the hermit story in this episode!
We see Daryl walking through the woods before running into a younger version of Dog. He also meets Carol, who talks about Maggie having been gone for two years and at least having Henry Ezekiel around… awkward!
Daryl is in his shelter, trying to battle the elements, for the heavy rain storm wins, breaking down parts of the roof and walls. Daryl then pulls a reverse Shawshank, but rather than happiness he screams out in a fit of rage, frustration and sorrow, it was a great little scene!
Fast forward to only a year before the present day, and Daryl and Dog are out on the trail again, but this time encounter the shack we saw in the present day. He kills a Walker but is soon rushed by the woman we saw a glimpse of in the first flashback. She takes Daryl prisoner, with a shotgun, and once she feels satisfied that he is not a threat, she allows him to leave. This was Dog's owner, this was Dog's home. But clearly there is little love between the two and Dog is free to wander as he pleases, obviously favouring Daryl's company. Fast forward six months and Dog returns to Daryl and leads him back to the shack. We then learn the origin of Dog's name! Now, we have always assumed that Daryl called him Dog, because that is the kind of thing Daryl would probably do! BUT it turns out Leah called him Dog and even Daryl thinks he should have a more fitting name! This was a nice little twist. She's very much like Daryl in a way, a hunter, a survivalist, you can see they would have a lot in common.
Fast forward another 8 months, and Daryl is fighting off some Walkers, before Leah appears to help. The two get very close together in a tree, trying to hide. You can see a genuine connection between them, but there is that reluctance you sometimes get, where they both try to push each other away. Cut to another 3 months later and Daryl throws a fish at her door, a post-zombie apocalypse version of UberEats I guess? Back at Daryl's camp, Leah returns the fish and Daryl complains that she is always throwing things at him. She says she wants to be left alone, like Daryl wants to be left alone. Yet they also don't, and it has clearly taken them both a long time to get to this point where they actually don't want to be alone despite appearances. We learn about her past, her son, and all the loss she has suffered. You can see why she wants to be left alone. This was a tough watch, but an incredible performance by Lynn Collins. Daryl opens up as to why he's out here. Searching for 'his brother' and that he won't stop until he finds out what happened. Sorry, but they HAVE to reunite Daryl and Rick, hopefully in the films they have planned. I need it. I need that moment! Anyway, guess what happened next?
Ten months later… Daryl has been living on and off with Leah and the two have clearly stuck up a relationship, of sorts. There is a tension that lingers, and Leah gives Daryl an ultimatum. Give up on Rick or lose her. As great as Collins' performance has been, and as interesting of a character Leah is, this is a no-brainer. Rick and Daryl for life! Daryl returns to cabin and finds Dog alone, Leah, presumably gone. I'm over her, she left Dog behind. No forgiveness from me!
Remember I spoke at the beginning about how good it was to see Carol and Daryl having interactions that weren't emotional and intense? Well that didn't last. Back in the present, Carol offers her condolences but refuses to apologise for going after the horde and Alpha, because that, in her mind, was the right thing to do and she stands by her actions. Daryl hits deep by replying with "and that's all that matters, you being right?" Ouch. Daryl is sick of having the same argument over and over again about Carol wanting to be on her own. But this time Daryl says he won't stop her. This entire scene was incredible and heart-breaking in equal measure. Well done Norman and Melissa, bravo! – Then I remember they have their own spin-off, so the moment passes! Haha. Want a downer of an ending.
I'm very much enjoying the format of these last six episodes, single and self-contained stories padding out the gaps of the time jump. It's an information dump but in a fun and easy to consume manner. I said this in many, many Walking Dead reviews over the years, but what an incredible performance from Norman Reedus Melissa McBride! They never disappoint, and while it is painful for the audience to go through, their very strange relationship is just so watchable. A big shout out to Lynn Collins too, as her, seemingly, one-shot character brought so much to this episode. All three performers were outstanding.
I joked earlier about the Carol and Daryl spin-off, but if you still needed convincing that these two can easily lead an interesting and emotionally deep show, this episode should hopefully have removed any remaining doubts. Incredible.

The Problems of Effective Utilization of Revenu...
The Problems of Effective Utilization of Revenue Available to Local Governments in Nigeria (A Case Study of Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State)
Education Consults 33 PAGES (13501 WORDS) Public Administration Seminar
AbstractWhen the researcher chose this topic: THE PROBLEMS OF EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF REVENUE AVAILABLE TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, she was inspired by the high rate of embezzlement, poor leadership, low rate of accountability, general laxity of the finance department, and corruption in Nigeria Local Government, and Aninri Local Government in particular. To do this, the researcher developed four (4) Questions. These questions were administered inform of questionnaires to 195 staff who were selected as a sample of the population. Apart from this, secondary data were used. In organizing and presenting data collected, tables and percentages were used as well. The data analysis revealed that ineffective utilization of revenue in the local government had created a negative impact in Aninri Local Government Area. The researcher therefore recommended that the revenue available to local government should be handled by honest and accountable personnel, those who posses sound knowledge about revenue generation and utilization. The outcome would be an effective and efficient management and utilization of local government revenue in such a way that would deliver the needed development.TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Latest: 8 Hong Kong protest organizers sentenced
Published Wed Apr 24 2019 08:34:17 GMT+0000 (UTC)
HONG KONG (AP) — The Latest on the sentencing of Hong Kong protest organizers (all times local):
A court in Hong Kong handed down prison sentences of up to 16 months to eight leaders of massive 2014 pro-democracy protests after they were convicted last month of public nuisance offenses.
One other defendant, Tanya Chan, had her sentencing Wednesday postponed because of the need to undergo surgery.
The sentences are seen as an effort by the government of the semi-autonomous Chinese territory to draw a line under the protests. The charges carry potential sentences of up to seven years.
Three were given 16 months, one of them suspended for two years, two were given eight month sentences and two given suspended eight month sentences while another was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
It was not immediately clear if they planned to appeal.
A court in Hong Kong is preparing to sentence nine leaders of massive 2014 pro-democracy protests convicted last month of public nuisance offenses.
The sentences to be handed down Wednesday are seen as an effort by the government of the semi-autonomous Chinese territory to draw a line under the protests.
The nine were leaders of the "Occupy Central" campaign, which was organized as a nonviolent sit-in that became known as the "Umbrella Movement" after a symbol of defiance against police adopted by the street protests.
They could face up to seven years in prison.
Hong Kong, a former British colony, was handed over to Chinese rule in 1997 under an agreement in which China promised the city could retain its own laws, economic system and civil rights for 50 years.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya has charged newly recruited 4000 soldiers to put national interest over their personal interests and be professional as they discharge their duties in the field.
A statement by Army spokesperson Brig.-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu on Saturday, said the COAS gave the charge at the Passing Out Parade (POP) of 81 Regular Recruits Intake at the Depot Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna state, where he was the Special Guest of Honour and Reviewing Officer of the POP.
Congratulating the young soldiers for the successful completion of their training, the COAS noted that the training of recruits into the Nigerian Army (NA) is in fulfillment of Army Headquarters Training Directives in line with his vision to have "A Professional Nigerian Army Ready to Accomplish Assigned Missions Within a Joint Environment in Defence of Nigeria."
He added that the POP marks another crucial chapter in the history of the training institution and the Nigerian Army, as it welcomes a fresh set of well-trained soldiers into the noble profession.
He described Depot Nigerian Army as a key training institution responsible for moulding selected able bodied citizens into well trained and disciplined soldiers, to meet the manpower requirements of the Nigerian Army, necessary to execute the onerous task of tackling contemporary security challenges bedeviling the nation.
He disclosed that the rigorous training undertaken by the young soldiers has transformed them into highly skilled and professional young soldiers, poised to enhance the strength and combat efficiency of the Service.
He reminded them of the importance of the Oath of Allegiance, to which they have all sworn, adding that by the oath they are under obligation to remain loyal to the Constitution and President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Erika (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is tired of her boyfriend's lack of forward momentum in life and so she decides to break up with him. It turns out her timing could not be any worse because the very next day, Nathan (Bryan Greenberg), a writer who put his first novel on hold to work on a play, receives news that his father (Harris Yulin), who lives in Florida with his wife (Linda Lavin), has had a stroke and is in the hospital. Nathan takes the next flight out of New York City and begs his girlfriend if they could put their relationship problems on pause.
Written and directed by Michael Maren, "A Short History of Decay" is a nice domestic comedy-drama—and instances when I am forced to describe that a movie is "nice" is almost always not a compliment. It is slightly amusing, even moving at times, but it is too relaxed, bordering on bland, with what it is attempting to communicate.
Look at the title and then consider whose perspective the story is being told. Already there is a disconnect. Is it supposed to be ironic? It may be. But is it effective? I was not convinced entirely. The reason is because Nathan's problems with his girlfriend taken side-by-side with his struggles with being a writer who lacks focus and inspiration simply pale compared to topics like dealing with mortality. The picture attempts to excel at both but the screenplay does not function on a high enough level.
The word "decay" comes in many forms in this story. Most obvious are the feelings that our protagonist holds toward his parents—more specifically, slowly realizing that they will not be around forever. His father is beginning to have serious health problems. His mother, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, has started to exhibit middle phase characteristics of the condition. Decay: his father's body, his mother's mind. Nathan wonders if it would be better for him to stay indefinitely.
The deterioration of Nathan and Erika's relationship is present but not dealt with fully. The early scenes in NYC are effective because we get the impression that Erika has a good reason to feel the way she does. One of the things I dislike in bad comedies is simply reducing one of the partners to a horrible human being. Here, though we are supposed to side with Nathan, Erika does not come off like the relationship she is walking away from holds no value to her. I would like to have known more about the couple.
Decay also applies to Nathan's dream of being a writer. There is a key conversation in the latter half of the film when Nathan goes on a date. The woman tells him that men his age, thirty-five, should already have a career—or at the very least a stable job. The scene can be enjoyed because instead of the material taking a catty or defensive route, Nathan responds as though deep down inside he already knows this. And yet it is not entirely clear. At that moment in time, we get a taste of how lost he is with respect to what he really wants to do or become.
In the end, I think I know what the material is hoping to communicate—and that is the problem. Due to a lack of connective tissue among subplots compounded with a main character who is genuinely lost, we are left with an undefined point of view. In other words, it is up to the viewer to invest in the characters through his or her own experiences. For instance, I was able to relate to it on some level because I have known people with dementia. That aspect I found fascinating. Still, it is highly likely that young and/or people who have yet to experience life will not find anything particularly interesting or challenging in this benign comedy.


Inspired by Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Ideas magazine, and Anthropologie, here is my book page tree.
The finished book page tree.
First, I cut out square cardboard templates to more easily tear the book pages into various sizes.
I tore my book pages along the cardboard template. (You could cut them for a more even look) Each template was 1/2" smaller than the one below it. Tear sheets in each size until you reach your desired tree height.
I placed a "mug plug" styrofoam shape in a terra cotta pot from my garden.
i cut sheet moss to cover the top of the pot.
I pushed a yard twig into the styrofoam piece inside the pot.
I whittled a point on the twig to slide the book pages on more easily. Start with the largest page sheets and stagger the edges.
When finished I cut the sharp point off of the top of my twig and tied a metal star to the top with jute.
This is my rustic look book page tree with torn pages.
So how many layers of pages go you supposed you used on the teee in the photos? And how tall is that tree? Cute idea!
What is a mug plug?
Nice. Brought back memories for me. We used to fold pages on the old large phone books back in the day to make Christmas trees. Lol.

Controversial moments from the history of Eurovision
by Fuzzable April 15, 2019, 9:59 am
Love it or hate it, Eurovision is back on our screens next month and fans will we awaiting the weird and wacky to hit the stage. Every year, the contest is marred by controversy – whether that be by political or tactical voting, or an act or song that aims to shock. Throw in a wardrobe malfunction or two, sound technicalities, or a stage invader for good measure – and you have the ingredients for the controversy of Eurovision. Here, we will count down five of the most controversial moments from the competitions history. But first, if you want your Eurovision betting fix, take a look at all the latest odds on Paddy Power.
5. Voting Scandal (1963)
The 1963 Eurovision was held in London – at the Television Centre, no less, after the BBC stepped in to organise the contest (the previous winners France were unable to due to financial reasons). That in itself could be considered controversial, but it had happened before in 1960.
But the real scandal came when it was time for the countries to reveal their votes. There were 20 jurors, who had to awards points for their best five songs. When it came to Norway to announce their votes, spokesman Roald Øyen did not use the correct procedure. When host Katie Boyle asked him to repeat his votes, he asked if they could return to him again later. When they returned to Oslo, the votes mysteriously changed and thus awarded the win to Norway's neighbours Denmark, rather than Switzerland.
Monaco also awarded one point to two countries, but on their second time of scoring the songs, got it right, with the UK receiving one point and Luxembourg not receiving any. Although that didn't affect the scoring, it was still controversial nonetheless.
4. Four winners (1969)
Fifty years ago, controversy sparked at the Eurovision Song Contest when four countries received the same number of points and there weren't any rules in place to justify just one winner, so all four countries were declared joint-winners. The contest was held in Madrid, and it's no surprise that one of the winning countries was the hosts.
There were 16 entries and each country could distribute 10 points freely to their favourite. The highest points awarded was six, from France to the Netherlands and at the end of voting, those two countries along with Spain and the UK (whose act was Lulu with Boom Bang-a-bang) were all tied on 18 points.
These days, if there is a tie, the country with points from the most countries will win – but the rules have changed a lot over the years. Interestingly, Austria, Finland, Norway, Portugal and Sweden all boycotted Eurovision the following year.
3. Dana wins for Israel (1998)
It may not seem much of a big deal now; but in 1998, the selection of Dana International to represent Israel caused uproar. Dana (real name: Sharon Cohen, birth name: Yaron Cohen) came out as transgender at the age of 13, before going on to have surgery in 1993. Five years later, with two albums already released, she went on to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest – much to the displeasure of many Orthodox Jews who took to the streets to protest and even issued death threats to the singer. The voting was close, but Israel beat the UK by six points.
The following contest was dogged by controversy when it was held in Jerusalem. During the interval, Dana performed again and the Orthodox Jews were incensed by the lyrics that were deemed to be religious.
However, Dana paved the way for Conchita Wurst, 'the bearded lady' to win Eurovision for Austria in 2014.
2. Political outrage (2000)
While Eurovision is supposed to be fun and cheesy, there are always tensions between countries and none more so than in 2000. Israel and Syria were at war and the former, who were in Eurovision, decided to ease tensions by waving Syrian flags at the end of their performance at the dress rehearsal. To add insult to injury, the rehearsal was on Israel's Independence Day. The Israeli leaders were understandably not happy and even tried to ban their own act, believing Ping Pong were betraying their nation.
Ping Pong stayed in the competition and opened the show with their song Sameach (Hebrew for 'happy'). Oh, and they still waved the flags at the end, calling for peace. They finished 22nd out of 24 countries with just seven points.
1. Stage Invasion I (2010), II (2017) and III (2018)
Jaume Marquet i Cot, better known as Jimmy Jump is known for interfering with many major sporting events, including the Euro 2004 final, 2010 World Cup final and Champions League games. However, in 2010, he took to the Eurovision stage in Oslo. He invaded during fellow countryman Daniel Diges' performance, and involved himself within the choreography before leaving the stage and being escorted away from the arena to the nearest police station. Spain were allowed to perform again, but still finished 15th out of 25 countries.
In 2017, Ukrainian winner Jamala took to the stage for her comeback performance, but halfway through the song, she was joined by an unexpected visitor. The invader was later revealed as Vitalli Sediuk, a self-confessed Ukrainian prankster who has history of abusing celebrities. This time around, he took to the stage draped in an Australian flag, before going on to drop his trousers and bare his bum for the world to see. Of course, he was tackled and dragged off by security, but it appears that security didn't tighten up…Only last year did another invader take to the Eurovision stage. This time it was during the UK's performance of Storm by SuRie. British political activist Dr ACactivism stormed the stage, grabbed the microphone from the singer's hand and shouted "Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom! War is not peace", before he was wrestled from the stage. SuRie continued, singing "Don't give up" to cheers from the crowd; and was given the opportunity to perform again, but she declined. She finished 24th out of 26 countries, with 48 points.

Every action flew down the tangled net of links, reverberating and amplifying itself and disappearing only to reappear again. . . . There was no escaping the reactions to your actions, and no respite from the responsibility. That's how it happened. That was life.
Everything and everybody is connected, somehow, somewhere: this is the structuring principle of Vikram Chandra's Sacred Games. In that respect, at least, this door-stopper of a novel deserves its inevitable comparison to Dickens, as its multitude of plots and characters crisscross and converge in a manner reminiscent of Bleak House. It's also Dickensian in its tendency towards self-indulgence: there are long stretches that seemed to me to have no real necessity or justification except the author's own pleasure in including as many details as possible. And it covers Dickensian extremes of horror and tenderness, and juxtapositions of farce and tragedy.
And yet — Sacred Games didn't move, engross, or delight me in anything like the way Dickens's novels do, and for all that there were parts that I did really appreciate, by the end there were longer stretches that just bored me. My like/dislike line runs pretty much along the Sartaj Singh / Ganesh Gaitonde divide: I would happily read another whole novel about Sartaj, but I had had more than enough of Gaitonde by the time he finally shot himself in the head — which is not a spoiler, by the way, as it happens very early in the novel, which then takes us back through the tortuous story of how he ended up where we first meet him, in a concrete bunker in a vacant lot on the outskirts of Bombay.
Navrati nights are good for pickpockets, certainly. Chain-snatchers and that lot. And a lot of cash gets handled, you know. At five hundred rupees per ticket in some places, that's a huge amount. People get tempted, the people who are handling the money.
We are all already lost to each other, he thought. In the moment of our possession we lose those we love, to mortality, to time, to history, to themselves. What we have are these fragments of generosity, these gifts of faith and friendship and desire that we can give to each other. Whatever comes later, nothing can betray this lying in the dark, this breathing together. This is enough. We are here, and we will stay here.
By the end of the novel, we can't help but feel the fragility of this hopeful contentment, but the chaotic ugliness of so much of the novel also makes it seem just that much more precious.
The part of the novel that focuses on Gaitonde, on the other hand, seemed to me to take us into a tediously artificial world — that it's based on Chandra's first-hand research, including meetings with real-life gangsters including "Hussain the Razor," doesn't help me get past its glossy amorality. The contrast between the two parts — each about a journey but one heading towards quiet fulfillment while the other collapses into solipsistic disaster — is obviously deliberate, but once he's reached the pinnacle of power and wealth Gaitonde becomes as tedious as Shakespeare's Richard III does at the height of his success, but without the poetry to make the downward spiral worth following to the bitter end. Gaitonde's flat affect may be meant to convey his distance, his difference, but that doesn't make it any less flat.
My favorite part of the novel was one of its several "inset" parts, the one called "A House in a Distant City." This tells the story of Sartaj's mother Prabhjot, who is something of a mystery to her son: he sees that "she was not telling him everything, there were things she wouldn't speak of." We know of these things from this set piece, which tells with powerful understatement of her family's flight during Partition from their home in what became part of Pakistan. When Prabhjot visits the Golden Temple at Amritsar with Sartaj near the end of the novel, she sits "closed off in some private world of memory and grief and prayer." Those memories, that grief, is surely for her sister Navneet, "beloved and best of all, and now lost forever." Prabhjot learned to carry on: "Carry it all, the small dissatisfactions of every day and the huge murderous tragedies of long ago." For me Sacred Games was at its best when it left the melodramatic world of international crime, terrorism, and film stars and focused on this kind of modest but intensely moving everyday heroism.
I liked the Sartaj Singh bits and the back-story of his mother.
The rest was rather predictable, and as we like to say in India, filmi (too movie-like).
Glad to hear my response wasn't just idiosyncratic, Ava! I tried hard not to compare Sacred Games to A Suitable Boy (which I loved) — after all, just because they are both long books about India doesn't mean they demand to be considered together. But I did keep thinking about why Seth's novel won me over in a way that Chandra's didn't, and I think it is because A Suitable Boy (for all that it is rich in history and politics) never loses sight of that human intimacy that makes the best parts of Sacred Games so good too.
I had much the same problem with Bleak House. Sometimes, when Dickens splits his narratives in two, I end up enjoying one much more than the other. I've seen this book in the shop many times and am always tempted to buy. The size of it though does give me pause.
Not a fan of Esther? 🙂 And yet for me, every bit of Bleak House is worth it, or maybe I should say has become worth it with rereadings. Who knows: maybe Sacred Games would reward rereading in a similar way, but I'm not at all tempted to test that hypothesis.

«Идеальный голос» () — американская музыкальная комедия режиссёра Джейсона Мура, сценарий к которой написала Кэй Кэннон. Картина основывается на книге Мики Рэпкина «Пой идеально: Погоня за славой вокалиста а-капелла». Премьера состоялась 28 сентября 2012 года.

Сюжет
Во время финала ICCA 2011 года в Линкольн-центре женская а капелла группа из университета Бардена «Барденские Беллы» проиграла своим соперникам, мужской группе Бардена, так как участницу группы Обри Поузен стошнило на сцене в середине ее соло. Спустя четыре месяца новоприбывший студент университета Бардена Бека Митчелл не хочет учиться в колледже, но вынуждена, так как профессором университета является ее отец, с которым у Беки сложились напряженные отношения. Бека хочет вместо учебы продолжить карьеру в качестве музыкального продюсера в Лос-Анджелесе. Она тратит свое время на мэшап песен и проходит стажировку на школьной радиостанции, где знакомится с первокурсником Джесси Суонсоном.

На ярмарке талантов университета Беку приглашают присоединиться к «Беллам» старшекурсницы и два лидеры группы Обри и Хлоя Бил, но она отказывается. Отец Беки, профессор литературы, заставляет ее выбрать какой-нибудь курс. Позже Хлоя обнаруживает талант Беки к пению и убеждает ее пройти прослушивание. Бека неохотно проходит прослушивание, впечатляя Хлою, и присоединяется к «Беллам» (несмотря на открытое неодобрение Обри) с Синтией Роуз Адамс, Стейси Конрад, Лилли Онакурамарой и Патрицией «Жирной Эми» Хобарт. Тем временем Джесси присоединяется к «Триальтинам».

«Беллы» участвуют в отборе ICCA 2012, где, по настоянию Обри, они выполняют то же попурри, которое помогла «Беллам» выйти в финал в прошлом году. Несмотря на их избитый репертуар, группе удается занять второе место, попав в полуфинал. После соревнований «Беллы» пытаются остановить потасовку между «Триальтинами» и «Tonehangers», группой выпускников а капелло. Бека и Жирная Эми случайно разбивают окно трофеем «Триальтинов», в результате приезжают полицейские и арестовывают Беку. Выйдя из полицейского участка, Бека встречает Джесси, но узнает, что он втянул ее отца в ситуацию, что вызывает раскол между Бекой и отцом. Также Бека ругает Джесси.

Бека пытается убедить «Белл» быть более смелыми, но Обри настаивает на том, что они победят с их традиционным репертуаром. На полуфинале ICCA Бека вставляет импровизированный «Bulletproof», в то время как другие исполняют «The sign», надеясь оживить толпу, которая, кажется, потеряла интерес. После представления Обри отчитывает Беку за импровизацию, а также обвиняет ее в том, что она встречается с участником «Триальтинов» Джесси. Нарушение этого правила наказуется изгнанием из «Белл». Джесси пытается вступиться за Беку. Но Бека, расстроенная неблагодарностью Обри и Джесси, огрызается на них обоих и покидает «Белл».

Несмотря на то, что импровизация Беки впечатлила судей и зрителей, «Беллы» не попадают в финал из-за третьего места после «Триальтинов» и «Footnotes». Однако сосед по комнате Джесси Бенджи Эплбаун узнает, что лидер «Footnotes» Тимоти является учеником средней школы, и сообщает об этом, что приводит к дисквалификации «Footnotes» и выходу «Белл» в финал.

После весенних каникул Бека пытается извиниться перед Джесси за грубость, но он не хочет слушать, говоря, что она отталкивает всех, кто заботится о ней. Во время репетиции «Белл» Хлоя восстает против упрямства Обри, разжигая драку из-за камертона. Тем не менее, Бека возвращается, извиняется перед «Беллами» за смену репертуара без разрешения Обри во время полуфинала и просит дать второй шанс. После того, как все «Беллы» разговаривают по душам, Бека возвращается в группу, и Обри передает свою половину руководства Беке.

Тем временем лидер «Триальтинов» Бампер Аллен покидает группу после того, как ему предложили работу в качестве бэк-вокалиста Джона Мейера. Когда Бампер уходит, Джесси убеждает «Триальтинов» позволить Бенджи присоединиться к группе вместо Бампера. Бенджи не попал в группу во время предыдущего прослушивания.

В финале «Беллы» исполняют современную песню, аранжированную Бекой, которая включает в себя «Don't You (Forget About Me)», песню из "Клуба «Завтрак»", одного из любимых фильмов Джесси. Это действует как более эффективное извинение, и после представления Бека и Джесси целуются. «Беллы» побеждают «Триальтинов» и выигрывают национальный чемпионат. Через шесть месяцев проходит прослушивание для новых участников.

Ability level – These camps are designed for a wide range of abilities because the tough stuff will be ridden individually! As long as you have experience of riding in a group and want to improve your fitness you'll be fine. They are not intended for complete beginners.
We are hosting three special training weeks with the focus on climbing to improve performance. They are intended to be a block of quality structured training, concentrating on intervals ridden at your own pace, ideal preparation for upcoming races or sportives. It will also give you the opportunity to practice your descending skills and experience riding long climbs if you haven't already done so. As well as improved fitness, we hope you will return home with some new ideas for training and/or racing.
Each day we will ride out to a climb, complete the efforts and ride back to the hotel. Once on the climb you can ride at your own pace and push it as hard as you want! You can do two or three repetitions depending on which climb we are using. The ride out and back will be steady and ridden together as a warm up and warm down.
We will cover 80-120km's each day and the climbs we use are 6-8km's long. We will not be doing big loops and massive miles, this is aimed at completing specific, quality efforts on the climbs then returning to the hotel to put your feet up and recover for the next day! James will be riding with you each day to offer help and advice.
There will be a support vehicle with food & drink and spare wheels & tools. You can also leave spare clothing in the car to change into. Once we are on the climb the car will be based at the summit.
We will stop for a coffee and some lunch on the run back to the hotel, after we have finished climbing.
This training week is intended for riders with a good level of fitness and want to build on it with a quality block of training. We will suggest how to ride the climbs in terms of intensity and the duration of each effort. However if you have your own plan you are free to ride the climbs as you like, after all it will be an individual effort not dictated by the group.
If you would like to join us please complete the booking enquiry to reserve your place. Once we have confirmed availability, a deposit of £150 per person will be required to book your place. The week will be limited to 10 people.


Bloomfields were approached by a client to regularise the use of a stable block and associated barn and shipping containers as a dwelling house. A lawful development certificate (existing) was obtained for these buildings and their associated garden land and as a result, a residential unit was established on the agricultural land.
As the residential use had been established on the site, Bloomfields was able to submit a planning application with the Council to replace the stable block and outbuildings with a dwelling house to provide upgraded accommodation for our clients. This was approved without delay.
In order to provide accommodation for our clients' children and to ensure the onward future care of our clients' health, a lawful development certificate (proposed) was obtained for a mobile home to be placed within the curtilage of the main house as ancillary annex accommodation. This allows our clients' son and wife to also reside on site and provide care for their parents.
Full planning permission has been granted for the extension and conversion of a brick built, detached stable building to form a single dwelling along with associated curtilage area and the erection of an ancillary stable block. The site is within the countryside, outside the Limits to Built Development and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Within the application, Bloomfields provided a robust case that the building was capable of conversion and that the proposed alterations and extensions to the building could retain the rural character of the building, whilst also conserving and enhancing the visual amenities of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
After monitoring Local Plan policy closely, Bloomfields has successfully obtained outline planning permission for a new dwelling within the garden of an existing dwelling house.
Following previous planning and appeal refusals for infill development within the vicinity of the site, a change in Local Plan policy meant that this area was now suitable for residential development.
Having undertaken a positive pre-application enquiry with the Council to ascertain the suitability of the scheme, an outline application was quickly approved to provide a large family home.
Maidstone Borough Council is requesting information from landowners of potential sites that could be suitable for various uses such as housing, offices, storage, retail, the leisure industry (for example cinemas, hotels), gypsy and traveller accommodation and nursing / care homes. This is due to the Council starting their Local Plan Review.
Submitting a site does not mean it will automatically be included in the Local Plan Review, or that it will definitely obtain planning permission in the future. What it does do is to allow the Council to be aware of the possibility of such sites being available as they make their decisions for the Local Plan.
If you are a landowner and have a site that you feel could be suitable, Bloomfields would be able to guide you through the process of submitting this to the Council for consideration and giving it the best chance of succeeding, as they have a team of professional planners and expert local knowledge.
The Call for Sites recently began on Thursday 28th February 2019 and the deadline for submitting sites is by 5pm Friday 24th May 2019.
DEFRA has recently consulted on the potential for mandatory requirements for developments and planning permission to ensure there is a net gain in biodiversity. The consultation focussed on whether biodiversity should be a necessary requirement, how this could be implemented, and how the biodiversity gains are monitored and measured. The consultation also considered whether a standardised approach should be implemented so that it is simpler and clearer for developers.
The biodiversity net gain principle aspires to apply a biodiversity net gain approach to national issues like house building, to ensure that the homes we need can also contribute to the 25 Year Environment Plan.
The consultation sets out that biodiversity should be used positively to bring together all stakeholders to work collaboratively and provide profitable development, which also provides biodiversity enhancements with the necessary growth, jobs and amenities. As planners, this approach is greatly welcomed. So many different types of developments can improve biodiversity, from a small-scale barn conversion to a larger scale new farm hub. For biodiversity benefits to be quantified and necessitate net gain, this could potentially provide a way to further facilitate development. It also appears that should a site not be feasible for net gain, there may be a way to provide off-site biodiversity improvements through tariffs levied nationally and applied locally. This creates a scenario where potentially biodiversity enhancements to facilitate development could be less expensive, as any development could be argued to have net gain in some form.
Bloomfields will be closely monitoring the results of this consultation to understand and respond to any forthcoming changes.
Deep in the heart of the Kent countryside nestling in idyllic surroundings, there is a manor house set within a 258 acre estate. The principal house in part dates back hundreds of years to the late medieval period, and is designated a Grade II listing being of Special Architectural Interest and Historic Note.
Within this setting, Bloomfields has obtained full planning permission for the conversion of one of the redundant agricultural storage buildings to a dwelling. Whilst the building was located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our professional advice was that the principle of the building conversion should be considered acceptable in accordance with current national planning policy, provided that sufficient enhancement could be demonstrated to the context of the site within the grounds of a 15th century manor house.
Bloomfields has obtained a further full planning permission for the change of use of two redundant agricultural barns to two detached dwellings within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including a new access track. The approval followed significant negotiation with the Local Authority regarding the level of landscaping and ecological mitigation before a suitable scheme was agreed.
Within the application, Bloomfields provided a robust case with supporting information to prove that the new dwellings would see a significant enhancement to the landscape within this rural location.
Lambert & Foster and Bloomfields successfully de-listed a 1970s farmhouse within Sevenoaks District Council. This process involved applications, site visits and consultation periods with Historic England before a full report was sent to the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport for their consideration.
The Secretary of State will then decide to remove the property from its Listing Class if it has no special architectural or historic interest.
Successfully de-listing the property has given the current vendor the opportunity to add value in areas where it may not have been able to before and has added to the saleability of the property.
Lambert & Foster and Bloomfields are well placed to handle any applications for de-listing.

Q: ActiveModel multi-step form not showing next step So I have been working on a multi-step form in ruby on rails (1.9.3) using Active model, following both the railscast #217 and #219 and am having problems with routing to the next steps in my form from /awizard/new to /awizard/1 hopefully someone can help me out. (I cannot use a form gem and must write this myself) I think this is a routing type issue (and I'm not using the id I give the model but I cannot figure out where I should be using it) a little help would be much appreciated!
My controller code - (contollers/awizard_controller.rb)

This year, at the instigation of Jean-Jacques Delmas, ARIV members have taken action to welcome foreign students, as 'Back to school' time has arrived.
They met in late afternoon to help them settle down, show them Nancy around and shops where they will find what they need.
17 students gathered to go and see the sound and light show and have a drink on Place Stanislas. They come from Guinea, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Brasil, Japan, China, etc.
Jean-Jacques called on ARIV members to give useful things to them, like plates, mugs, glasses, cutlery, etc. A microwave oven was provided to Lesha, a science student from Ukraine who was here last year and is going to stay till 2020. He enjoys living in Villers-les-Nancy.
If French families are ready to invite a student for a meal, or give out kitchenware, they should visit ariv.org or go to the Associations Forum on September 8 in Les Ecraignes.
Another rewarding moment for ARIV and the foreign students gathered for the 2018 barbecue.
Because the weather forecast said it was going to rain, we all found shelter in Annick Grand's house. We enjoyed a wide variety of tasty treats, including Leisha's spicy Ukrainian marinated meat. Delicious mixed salads and several orgasmic desserts made everyone ecstatic.
We just cannot wait till next year's edition !
For the foreign students who live in Villers-les-Nancy ARIV organized a guided visit to discover the Ecole de Nancy artistic movement, which is part of Art Nouveau. Some 20 people gathered on the occasion, including 7 students and 2 children. Sunny weather made it possible to enjoy the museum gardens, too. A dedicated guide highlighted and explained the unique pieces of art work we are so proud of.
Vice-president Elisabeth Cambray arranged a gourmet tea after the museum, at the Brasserie Flo downtown, a present-day example of the elegance of Ecole de Nancy.
All 5 senses were thus satisfied, thanks to ARIV and its president Annick Grand.
We went to Epinal by bus to visit the Musée de l'Imagerie, which offers plenty of explanations and demonstrations.
François Grand grabbed the microphone to be our guide for the day and to translate Annick's words into several languages, including English, Ukrainian, Lorrain, etc.
We were much impressed in the museum by a number of unique machines that illustrate the specific know-how of that period and that part of France.
We then shared lunch and went on to Lunéville. We showed our friends the Palace of Stanislas and its picturesque gardens, as well as the city.
Thank you to the people who planned and arranged the event, thank you to the lively band of students for their playful and studious company.
Next meeting is for Fête de la Musique in Parc Madame de Graffigny, next weekend.

America's Top Farmer's Markets: Union Square Greenmarket
It's hard to believe that in 1976, it was difficult to get a decent tomato in Manhattan. Back then, the city's Council on the Environment established the greenmarket program, starting it with a few vendors at 59th Street. There are now 44 greenmarkets held around the city, 15 open year-round. But Union Square tops the list. In 1985, restaurateur Danny Meyer opened his signature Union Square Cafe near the market so his chefs would have access to the best in season. The market has since become the perfect mix of midtown professionalism and downtown shabby chic.
Since Saturdays are wickedly crowded, shoot for a more sedate Wednesday morning. Stop by early and watch top chefs cart away wheelbarrows full of chanterelles, heirloom eggplants and apricots. Quiet at 8:30 a.m., the market is rockin' by noon and windswept empty at 5:00 p.m.—when the best deals are to be found, like those boxes of slightly bruised tomatoes.
Our Favorite Vendors
Although most markets limit their selection to foods produced in their own state, the Union Square Greenmarket allows producers to come from a roughly 200-mile radius, bringing the best from farms in rural Connecticut and the "Garden State" of New Jersey as well as more in New York. Start out with raspberry apple cider from Red Jacket Orchards in Geneva, New York. The orchard has been in the same family for almost 50 years and delivers picture-perfect apples, stone fruits and berries. For a great lunch, check out the slightly sour, aged cheeses from Cato Corner Farm in Colchester, Connecticut. The hard Trappist varieties, such as Bridgid's Abbey, are Old World splendors. Pair these with radishes from Stokes Farm in Old Tappan, New Jersey. The Greenmarket literally saved this farm, transforming it from a failing, fifth-generation, wholesale operation to a thriving, direct-to-consumer producer of vegetables, herbs and flowers. Finally, no one can turn down Martin's Pretzels: hard, handmade, salty and sourdough.
Check out the city wormers: so committed to composting they keep worms in under-the-sink tubs in their tiny apartments and use the compost for their window boxes or sell it at the market.

The Broad Institute has been dealt a big blow in its battle for CRISPR/Cas9 intellectual property, with the European Patent Office revoking one of its patents.
This will be particularly good news for ERS Genomics, which was co-founded by one of the inventors of CRISPR/Cas9, Emmanuelle Charpentier, to provide access to the technology's intellectual property. ERS's exclusive worldwide patent for the intellectual property differs from that of the Broad Institute as it covers the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the genome of an organism, but not for therapeutic use in humans.
The mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
Despite once again being snubbed by the Nobel Prize Committee, CRISPR is widely expected to make a big difference to medicine and, one day, take home the award. It uses short guide RNA molecules in combination with the bacterial enzyme Cas9 to alter the genome at specific sites. At these sites, sections of DNA can be deleted, inserted or replaced to alter the expression of an existing gene or trigger the expression of another.
With the huge potential of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, it makes sense to ensure that the technology remains accessible for biotechs in Europe and around the world for the development of therapeutics against devastating diseases. CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex Pharmaceuticals are hoping to start a first European trial using the technology for the treatment of the blood disorder, β-thalassemia. Meanwhile, the technique has been used in the lab to enhance the cancer-killing power of T cells and identify new targets for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

Russian figure skater Elena Radionova was worthy of getting into the top three prize-winners of the Moscow Grand Prix stage in figure skating. This opinion was expressed by the world champion and two-time European champion in pair skating Alexei Tikhonov, whose words are quoted by Gazeta.Ru .
The first place in the competition was taken by Russian Evgenia Medvedeva. The second was Italian Carolina Costner, the third was Japanese Wakaba Higuti. Radionova took fourth place.
"I was very upset at this stage of the Grand Prix for Lena, she perfectly skated the free program, but she was prevented from falling from the triple jump when she slipped from the start, and there was no time to repeat this element anymore. that Radionova did not get into the top three prize-winners - she was worth it, "Tikhonov said.
Radionova is the winner of the Winter Universiade in 2017 in Alma-Ata, she also twice became vice-champion of Europe (2015, 2016).
At the "Finnish Cup" Tuktamysheva took first place after the short program. In the free program, Lisa failed to keep the lead. Another Russian figure skater Maria Sotskova won the Cup, while the second place was moved by the Italian Carolina Costner, who also trains, like Tuktamysheva, with Sergei Mishin.
It is noteworthy that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva skated with the sight of the famous coach Tatyana Tarasova. She expressed the opinion that now in the program of Tuktamysheva, there is not enough masterly spinning and the triple axel.
The leading American woman at Skate Canada is neither Karen Chen nor Ashley Wagner, who went one-two at last season's U.S. Championships.
Instead, it's surprisingly Courtney Hicks, who was 12th at nationals.
Canadian Kaetlyn Osmond is in first place with 76.06 points after Friday's short program. She goes into Saturday's free skate with a 7.01-point lead over Russian Anna Pogorilaya.
World silver medalist Shoma Uno topped the men's short with 103.62, landing two quadruple jumps. He's 9.19 ahead of three-time world champion Patrick Chan and 12.91 ahead of U.S. Olympian Jason Brown in third.
Canadian Caitlin Osmond won the Grand Prix of figure skating in Regina, Canada.
Osmond, who showed the best result in the short program on Friday, won the random on Saturday (136.85 points) and with the total of 212.91 points was the first. The second place belongs to the Russian woman Maria Sotskova (126.42 - 192.52), the third - American Ashley Wagner (122.37 - 183.94 ).
Another representative of Russia, Anna Pogorilaya , after a short program was the second one, allowed several drops in the free ranking and eventually took the 9th place (87.84 in an arbitrary, in the total of 156.89).
The third stage of the Grand Prix will be held in China on November 3-5.
#SCI17 / #IPC17: Short Dance / Danse Courte
Virtue and Moir roared to a world record overall score in winning their seventh Skate Canada International title on Saturday, and have yet to lose a competition since they launched their dazzling comeback a year ago.
"We love going to rink every day," Moir said. "We came back. We didn't have to. It was for us, and I think there's power to that. We're doing this because we love figure skating, because we love ice dancing with each other. It's a crazy thing to say, but that's why.

"We're pretty fortunate to have three runs at [the Olympics]. This one just feels more personal."
"We're different athletes, we're different people," Virtue said. "We're just in a different place in how we feel on our skates, and how we feel on the ice. It's nice when that feels like home."
Canadians Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje captured silver with 190.01 points, while Americans Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue were third with 189.43.

Connemara digital innovation hub awarded over €500k funding
4 weeks ago	0 Briain Kelly
The gTeic digital innovation hub under construction in Spiddal has been awarded over half a million in funding
Údarás na Gaeltachta has already drawn down €175,000 of the almost €550,000 in funding for the new gTeic digital innovation hub made available under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
The project to help enable businesses and entrepreneurs in south Connemara modern digital facilities is the first enterprise in Ireland to receive money from the fund.
The hub, which is part of Gréasán Digiteach na Gaeltachta, will be a modern, high speed broadband facility for start-up and established enterprises.
When completed it will have 25 hot desks/coworking spaces, 10 private office spaces, two meeting rooms, video conferencing facilities, creative breakout spaces, phone booths and meeting pods.
This will enable 40 – 50 people in start ups and established enterprises to work there on modern enterprises in Galway's Gaeltacht with a focus on digital media.
Minister of State for the Gaeltacht and Galway West TD Seán Kyne broke ground on the project in January.
He said recently that he was "delighted that the gTeic hub in An Spidéal is progressing so well with a Galway-based company working on the project."
It's hoped that the Digital Innovation Hub will be open for business by this Autumn.
This is one of 30 innovation and digital hubs being developed in rural Gaeltacht areas across counties Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Waterford and Meath.
Nine hubs of various sizes will be built throughout Galway in the coming years as part of Údarás na Gaeltachta's GTEIC initiative.
