The Song of the Shirt (Clayton&Curling, 1979)
JACK BRINDELLI @JackBrindelli
At first glance, The Song of the Shirt is hard to enjoy. The opening consists of migraine-inducing overlapping texts; squawking free-form clarinets, and jumbled quick-fire quotes. It seems initially that this attempt to deconstruct the grand narratives of liberal history, and reform the component parts into a radical critique, lacks any kind of structural coherence. However, it soon emerges that this actually a brilliant foreshadowing of the structure of the film. Eventually, out of the chaos comes a brilliantly orchestrated profundity.
From a 21st century perspective, Sue Clayton and Jonathon Curling's film grates at first, but when it comes together, it resembles a beautiful pointillist portrait – putting small particles together to construct a meaningful whole. It is a style that has since become common-place in mainstream cinema. From Pulp Fiction (1994) to Cloud Atlas (2012), this non-linear, scrap-book-narrative style is one many cinema goers will now be familiar with.
Were the film made today, with the benefit of other forebears laying groundwork, Clayton and Curling's vision would be a great deal more polished, and probably better remembered. As it is, the film has lain dormant amongst a catalogue of similar forgotten pioneers. Fortunately, it was dusted off and revived this week by the Genesis Cinema in Whitechapel, London, as a result of Sue Clayton's new work for the Leydon Gallery, resurrecting the film's character of the seamstress, placing her in modern London.
In the film, as the fragments of the past come together, we see through the plight of the penniless seamstresses, supposedly beneficiaries of the industrial revolution, how capitalism reduces millions of people to lives of exploitation, bereft of hope and dignity. However, whilst class is central to its message, the film makes as an important point when it then brings in a second strand of oppression that interplays with it; gender. We see how those critical of the suffering brought about by economic relations, and those who advocate the emancipation of the working man, can also conflictingly reinforce the subjugation of women. Clayton and Curling flag up crude, hypocritical domination of male trade unionists decrying how women are driving down their husband's wages, and calling for women to withdraw to home-life; but we also see this coupled with a critique of the ideological objectification that women suffer in patriarchal literature.
This is illustrated by a behind-the-scenes-style exchange between the authors of The Wrongs of a Woman, a Victorian newspaper serial, in which the impoverished female protagonist falls for a wealthy student. After part 3 leaves the couple in each others arms, a discussion takes place as to how it should end – the "inevitable" conclusion being that "she should commit suicide" to further illustrate the horrors of poverty. The male authors are displayed here as key to patriarchal ideology, as objectifying female characters like this perpetuates their domination – depriving women of agency, making them hapless tools of the fates, and dependent on men of power, and men more generally, to ensure their survival.
The film itself by contrast is unwilling to give us even this depressing closure in its conclusion. The women of the piece - exploited and desperate as they are - are neither driven to suicide or to revolution. Their fate remains ambiguous, as if to suggest that the struggle remains unresolved to this day. This is the genius of The Song of the Shirt though; it pulls apart the grand historical narrative of male-driven progress – found in 'factual' and fictional materials - and reconstructs the constituent parts into a call to arms against modern-day patriarchal capitalism. The film's revival should not stop here then – after all this time, it deserves greater recognition than a one off screening. This forgotten gem about 'lowly' seamstresses counters the grand historical fabrications that working class women's fate is in anybody's hands but their own – a lesson that still needs learning, over three decades later.

Several Platt College Alumni Credited On New IMAX Film 'The Walk'
New IMAX Film 'The Walk' Features Platt Alumni VFX Talent
This weekend the latest IMAX film from Robert Zemeckis will be released called 'The Walk.' The film has already earned $240,000 in its first day of limited release and currently has an 87% "fresh" rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.
Here at Platt College San Diego we understand the time, effort and talent needed to bring amazing blockbusters like this to life. Which is why we were thrilled to discover that 3 of our alumni who work at VFX studio Legend3D worked on the film and had their names acknowledged in the film's end credits.
Platt College alumni Felix Honda, Adiel Galvan and Keith Kolod are all graduates from our 3D Animation Bachelor's program who worked on the film. Felix Honda who worked as a Stereo Artist on the film, graduated more recently from the program but has been working for Legend3D over 2 years now.
"Simply put, working on 'The Walk' was both challenging and exciting! I still can't believe that I was one of the few stereo artists who were acknowledged by having their name in the credits! There are many talented individuals that put a great deal of effort and hard work into this industry. Unfortunately not everyone gets recognized by having their name in the credits.
'The Walk' was the first film that I had the opportunity to work on in which the entirety of the depth was converted in house. Being able to work with the best people in the industry has inspired me to further improve my techniques so that one day I may produce work as fast and efficient as some of the leads and senior artists. I am proud to say that I got to be a part of something that is both beautiful and breathtaking. If you have the time, I highly recommend seeing 'The Walk' in theaters. But for the full 3D experience, IMAX is a must!" – Felix Honda, Junior Depth Artist at Legend3D
This is definitely not the first time several of our talented alumni have worked on blockbuster films like this, but we want to celebrate their success as often as we can. Join us in congratulating these amazing visual effects artists and be sure to check out 'The Walk' at a local IMAX near you!

Rumors always spread faster than the truth,some people spread rumors as a way to intimidate others and gain status or popularity.
Towards the end of last week, news went viral that Kenya's award winning gospel singer Eko Dydda allegedly kicked out his wife Cynthia Ayugi aka Galia and their two son's Keep It Real and Am blessed, on claims of infidelity from the singer's side.
However, vidole hit maker has rubbish infidelity claims and throwing out his family .
Eko stated that he is in very good terms with his wife and people should not believe the rumours being peddled around to tarnish his name.
"You know me. I cannot dare do all that which is being alleged online. My wife and children are with me, and I do not know where that bad rumour came from. I, however, leave it to God to fight for me," Eko Dydda.
The father of two also disclosed that his sons will be heading to Qatar to represent Kenya in the Under-9 Championships.
"My sons and wife are not homeless, they are happily living with me. Keepitreal even won a medal a few days ago playing football and he is heading to Qatar with his six-year-old brother to represent Kenya in the Under 9 category," said Dydda.
Recently, the love birds graced the cover of Parents Magazine where they shared their love story.
Eko disclosed that he is a victim of true love as since he married his wife, he has experienced nothing but true love.
"I see most people say true love doesn't exist, and happily ever after is only in the movies. That is only true If he came for the beauty and she came for the money/fame/power, but if he/she is a gift from GOD then you will experience happily ever after and true love," shared Eko Dydda.
A few people know that Eko Dydda is married and has two handsome sons who have already joined the music industry at a tender age.
The post Gospel star Eko Dydda rubbishes claims of kicking out his family appeared first on Kenya Today.

Out Of The Dark Review
An unusual setting gives this low-key horror some added interest, stirring a whiff of issue-based drama into the otherwise under-developed plot. It's also photographed with considerable skill, generating its scary moments with careful filmmaking rather than cheap gimmicks, although there isn't a moment that doesn't feel familiar. Yes, Spanish director Lluis Quilez never saw a scary-movie cliche that he didn't like.
It's set in rural Colombia, where Sarah and Paul (Julia Stiles and Scott Speedman) have just arrived in Santa Clara, on the edge of the jungle, with their young daughter Hannah (Pixie Davies). Sarah has a new job at the paper factory owned by her father (Stephen Rea), while Paul works from home as an illustrator. And as they settle into their gorgeous new house in a lush neighbourhood, the community is preparing for its annual Saint Children Festival, commemorating a tragic event from the conquistador era. But it's something much more recent that seems to have sparked a malevolent force in the town, as everyone catches glimpses of swarms of face-covered children emerging from the rainforest. And it seems to be Hannah that they want.
Quilez indulges in all the usual atmospherics, including sudden thunderstorms and power cuts, a sinister dumbwaiter and even a ball bouncing ominously down the stairs. Even so, he resists ramping up the horror too much, making the film feel more like a mystery as Sarah and Paul investigate the strange goings on, learning dark secrets about the town's past. When someone mentions the "old paper mill" it's clearly going to feature later on. And this gives the movie an intriguing sense that perhaps not everything that's happening is supernatural. That said, the plot is so thin that it barely exists, held together by a hint of subtext and the grounded performances.

Tasting Menu Trailer
Marc and Rachel haven't seen each other for a whole year since their relationship ended, but they are now forced to re-unite once again to fulfil a date they have been waiting for for a very long time. Whilst still happily together, they had been lucky enough to reserve a table at what is widely known as the best restaurant in the world in Costa Brava. In usual circumstances, they would cancel the booking and make separate reservations for themselves in the future to enjoy the globe's finest culinary experience. However, their date happens to be the last night of opening for the restaurant which has made a regrettable decision to finally close its doors. There's no chance this former couple are going to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity; will they find themselves re-connecting, or will their differences ruin it for both of them?

Blackthorn Review
Plaintive and perhaps too slow-moving for mainstream audiences, this finely made Western cycles through a rather long, complex narrative. But it's thoroughly involving, with terrific characters and an engaging emotional punch.
It turns out that Butch Cassidy didn't die in a hail of gunfire in 1908 Bolivia after all. Now calling himself James Blackthorn (Shepard), he's still living there 20 years later with his girlfriend Yana (Solier). But after he decides to return home, he's waylaid by Eduardo (Noriega), a city-slicker who has embezzled thousands from a brutal businessman. Their ensuing adventures spark memories of Blackthorn's days as a young outlaw (Coster-Waldau in flashbacks) with the Sundance Kid (Delaney) and Etta Place (McElligott), chased to South America by the dogged lawman McKinley (Rea).

The Reaping Review
By Sean O'Connell
Trouble sleeping? Try The Reaping. As Stephen Hopkins' sinfully boring devil dance continues creeping, at your watch you'll be peeping. By the time you reach the preposterous conclusion, where a sequel-establishing twist looms like a Biblical plague, for humanity you'll be weeping.
You'll need more than faith to accept the film's ridiculous premise, cooked up by sibling screenwriters Carey and Chad Hayes. These two can't distinguish between horrifying and horrible. They last collaborated on the dreadful House of Wax remake starring Paris Hilton. Enough said.

The Confessor Review
I take no price in having sat through the entirety of The Confessor, but Stephen Rea's third billing convinced me that it might be worth my trouble. (Molly Parker isn't bad either, and even headliner Christian Slater has done some solid work -- just none of it in recent years.)
This film by aspiring assistant director/producer Lewin Webb is straight out of episodic TV. Think your lesser episode of, oh, Law & Order. A priest (Von Flores) is discovered red-handed with one of his flock, dead and covered with blood. The priest says he was just giving him the last rites, and that he knows what happened, but he can't divulge this due to confession's rules of confidentiality. Immediately on the case is Daniel Clemens (Slater), who's better known for his fundraising abilities and PR schmoozing. What he uncovers is a sort-of half-baked counterculture of gay Catholics (of which Flores may or may not have been a member)... and a murder plot that has absolutely nothing to do with any of that.

In Dreams Review
Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) just keeps going down down down. This time, it's a "thriller" about a loony who controls the dreams of Bening, making her loony as well. The loony (I'll kill the "suspense"--it's Downey) also kills her daughter and husband, you know, just for kicks. And there's apples apples apples galore! You know, for symbolism. I think.

Feardotcom Review
By Max Messier
After the first hour of the celluloid atrocity so cleverly named FearDotCom, I awoke from a dreadful nightmare: a nightmare chock full of bad acting, goofy makeup, a ridiculous story, and blatant plot thievery from David Cronenberg flicks. In a cold sweat, I shuddered and realized that I couldn't wake up from my nightmare. It wasn't a dream at all; it was playing out right in front of my face on a movie screen.
FearDotCom is easily in the running for worst film of the year. The whole mess is a painfully dull ripoff of much better films - namely Poltergeist, Videodrome, and 8MM (okay, so that one's not much better). Full of grotesque imagery of sadistic tortures and killings and a plethora of asinine characters and pathetic attempts at acting, FearDotCom is a prime example of just how bad a bad movie can be.

Evelyn Review
I chuckled when I noticed that my preview screening for Evelyn was shown in a theater next to another theater featuring Die Another Day. At first I thought the theater was doing a tribute to Pierce Brosnan, but then I realized it was just a coincidence that he was starring in two movies at the same time in the same theater. I feared my view of Brosnan in Evelyn would be tainted because of his typecasting as the suave British spy. Much to my delight however, Brosnan effectively sheds his powerful alter-ego and turns in a warm and touching performance as an average, Irish working-class bloke in Evelyn.
Based on a true story that took place in the 1950s, Brosnan plays Desmond Doyle, a father of three young children who is left to care for the kids when his wife leaves him for another man the day after Christmas. This happens to coincide with another unsettling loss for Doyle - he's recently lost his job. Since he is unable to find work, the courts have taken his two sons and only daughter Evelyn (Sophie Vavasseur) and placed them in church run orphanages. When he finds suitable employment and tries to re-unite with his children, he finds his troubles have only just begun.

The End Of The Affair Review
By Rob Blackwelder
Even if "The End of the Affair" didn't invite comparisons to "The English Patient" with Ralph Fiennes' auto-pilot performance as another reflective World War II-era Englishman immersed heart and soul in an adulterous love affair, this Neil Jordan adaptation of Graham Greene's novel would still be an ambitious misfire.
Beset by the oversimplification of abstract and heavy concepts of heart, mind and religion, the film looks beautiful with its foggy and well-heeled London society appointments, and it's nothing if not emotional, what with the likes of Fiennes and Julianne Moore as the (naturally!) doomed lovers and Jordan staple Stephen Rea as the betrayed, milquetoast husband/best friend.
But while Jordan's talent for screenwriting and direction are evidenced in dialogue ("I'm jealous of these shoes because they take you away from me. I'm jealous of this stocking because it kisses your entire leg...") and structure (Fiennes' point of view transitions into Moore's as he reads her stolen diary), the director's use of other stale and banal plot devices betray the pedestrian underpinnings of this seemingly complex film.

Tomasz Sarnecki. Solidarność (Solidarity). 1989.
If you had been there—in Warsaw, in the turbulent spring of 1989—there are certain things you would understand better than those who weren't.
I have a professor friend who was teaching there at the time. She witnessed the workers' strikes, the turmoil, the fiery speech-making of that February, March, and April. She heard Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa address a cheering throng on the banks of the Vistula. That was some 29 years ago, but my friend never tires of talking about the electrifying atmosphere and patriotic intensity of those game-changing days in Warsaw.
By the time she left Poland that June, anti-Communist candidates from the Solidarity party had won heavily in the Polish parliamentary elections. And by December of the following year, Wałęsa himself had become Poland's first freely elected head of state in 63 years.
Los Angeles-based writer and director Nancy Keystone was not in Warsaw in 1989, watching the precipitous advent of Polish democracy; she was in her early teens at the time. Her first visit to Poland came two decades later, on the occasion of the Year of Grotowski, a celebration of the influential Polish avant-gardist, which she attended in the company of theatre scholars and practitioners from around the world (this writer included).
But that 2009 trip, it's safe to say, was a life-changer for Keystone. She immediately felt an intense attraction to the country, its artists, and its cultural outlook.
Some long-range artistic gears began to grind. Keystone was hooked, and over the next three years she headed back to Poland five times. Those multiple pilgrimages may not have made the same emphatic imprint on Keystone that my talkative professor's 1989 sojourn made on her—being there at the birth of a revolution is, after all, a one-of-a-kind experience. But Keystone's more recent Polish excursions have resulted in a rich array of connections and exchanges for the director, and for the award-winning experimental ensemble, Critical Mass Performance Group, that she leads. And those Polish bona fides lend a home-grown authenticity to Keystone and company's remarkable new work, an expansive, time-hopping piece called Ameryka, which made its official debut (after nearly eight years of development) April 19-29 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles.
It was a poster—a famous one, created in (you guessed it) 1989—that set Ameryka in motion.
"That first trip I took to Poland came on the 20th anniversary of the Solidarity election, so that Gary Cooper poster was on display everywhere," Keystone remembers. Based on a publicity still of Cooper in the role of Marshall Will Kane, striding down the street in the 1952 Carl Foreman film High Noon, the poster combined the bright red slash of the Solidarność logo with the all-American image of an individualistic cowboy fighting, against overwhelming odds, for justice. The poster was displayed all over Poland in 1989, encouraging voters to end Communist control over the country, and it helped the election catch fire.
In short order, 1989 became just one in a list of crucial dates that would become an organizing principle for Keystone's Ameryka, which takes on the unlikely but ultimately exhilarating task of tracking and dramatizing moments of commonality in the relationship between Poland and the U.S. over the past 250 years.
"My idea was do something about the ideals and trials of democracy and the parallels between the two countries," Keystone elaborates. "It seemed to me that the first strong narrative thread was the relationship between President Thomas Jefferson and the Polish freedom fighter Tadeusz Kościuszko." The former was a committed slaveholder, the latter was a heroic figure (and advocate of abolition) who joined the colonists' fight against the British during the American Revolution.
"I was also intrigued by the 1950s, when the influence of American jazz in Poland was at its height," she adds—a thread that brought into the story a "jazz guy," based in part on Louis Armstrong and in part on a bass player with the Dave Brubeck band, both of whom took part in a jazz ambassadorship program that sent musicians of that era around the world. One of Ameryka's funniest and most outlandish scenes involves the "jazz guy" being interviewed by a condescending, race-baiting State Department official.
Jumping forward in time, Ameryka noisily evokes the 1980 Warsaw shipyard strike and the formation of Solidarity, playing those events in tandem with a full-scale riff on the American Civil Rights Movement, complete with a raucous church service. Fast-forward again to the Reagan-era Cold War effort to bring the Soviet system down, and to the post-9/11 global war on terror, during which U.S. military officials operated a black site for torturing captives in an out-of-the-way corner of Poland.
Insert encounters with the House Un-American Activities Committee in the '50s, a side trip to a New York City gay disco in the '80s, and some behind-the-scenes maneuvering by the morally ambiguous CIA director William Casey; into that weave Anna Walentynowicz, a real-life Gdansk activist who talks about being jailed and tortured; and the mostly silent presence of Native American Chief Little Turtle, in headdress and fringe, as an ultimate emblem of democracy's blind spots and misdeeds.
Keystone's complex tapestry is a unique writerly accomplishment—no theatrical work I know of has aspired to fashion this sort of dancing duet through time between two nations and its citizens. But every bit as important as the writing is Keystone's directorial consistency (she draws upon a well-honed tradition of American experimental performance) and her scenic mastery (she's a visual artist and designer as well as a director). These are what make Ameryka both comprehensible and emotionally resonant for spectators.
The influence of artists Keystone cites as her favorites—Ariane Mnouchkine, Peter Brook, and two Poles, Jerzy Grotowski and Tadeusz Kantor—can readily be detected in Ameryka, but the show's gestural vocabulary owes more to the Downtown New York experimental scene of the '70s and '80s and to classic variations on modern dance. Case in point: As the company of nine (some of whom are Critical Mass regulars) speeds through the play's continual transformations of time and place, they often incongruously carry bricks with them—and we begin to understand the gesture as a symbol of weight, baggage, struggle, potential. If bricks are for building, what structures, what futures, are these citizens and their leaders forging?
Whatever you call it, Ameryka deserves a wide audience in the U.S. and abroad. "A number of Polish people have seen it, including representatives from the consulate and from education organizations—they seemed to love it," Keystone reports. Certainly the show's nation-bonding message will be thrilling to Poles, beleaguered these days by the illiberal reversals of a Trump-esque national administration in which ultra-right Law and Justice Party leader Jarosław Kaczyński exerts increasingly iron-fisted control.
All the same, Poland's own experimental performance scene has moved so far beyond the classic avant-gardism that Ameryka wears on its sleeve—today's East European audiences are accustomed to excessive levels of shock and license, in terms of both form and content—that Keystone's show, despite its emotional richness and intellectual rigor, might look tame there. On one thing, though, audiences everywhere will agree: Keystone's actors, without exception, are masters of the Polish accent, and of a variety of American accents as well.

We see an alarming number of tragedies happening every day all over the world. But what is even more alarming is the fact that tragic events sometimes happen in the lives of people who are very close to us, yet those who are in dire need of help do not receive the assistance they need.
That is why, on Sunday, 30 April at 10am at your local UCKG HelpCentre, we will be holding the 'Sunday of the Good Samaritan'. We will make ourselves available to bring those who are going through a rough time in their lives to the One who is able to solve their problems.
Do you know a friend, family member or even someone you pass by regularly who may need help?
In the Bible, God shows us how important it is to be selfless and help others. The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Surely, we would want someone to help us if we were having a difficult time; therefore, this is what should be done for others.
There are millions of people who seem to be happy on the outside, but inside they are suffering. They live in frustration because of their family problems, financial struggles and personal woes. That is why the 'Sunday of the Good Samaritan' will be the perfect opportunity for us to rescue those who need help in their lives. It is our responsibility to go out and find those who are suffering and 'half-dead'.
We all know someone who needs support, so come to this very special meeting, but don't come alone!


Houthi rebels have claimed that they have destroyed the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank of Saudi Arabia's force fighting in northern Yemen.
According to the Yemen Press Agency, the incident took place in the Jizan sector. Rebels have released video shows a guided anti-tank missile hit a Saudi Arabia's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank.
"The Yemeni army on Thursday killed two Saudi soldiers and destroyed a tank, Abrams, and a bulldozer in Jizan province", said in rebels reportе.
The Abrams tank participated in a Saudi-led coalition military operation. A military intervention was launched by Saudi Arabia in 2015, leading a coalition of nine African and Middle East countries, to influence the outcome of the Yemeni Civil War in favour of the government of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.


Realities, appearing as multiple layers and folds in which memories, cognitions, perceptions are coined and ready to emerge.
The starting point for The Waste Land was an invitation to compose a twenty minutes soundtrack for a documentary movie. Accordingly, Luca Forcucci received six minutes of a field recording, without any mention of its own nature, or any information about the documentary. Forcucci didn't ask anything about it, instead he listened carefully to the sonic material until images started to appear. The more he listened the more clear images emerged from his own mental movie.
The resonances emerge from the multiple projections of sounds into the power plant of an abandoned coal mine within a process that progressively recombines sound. Voices from the Coal Mine is freely inspired by Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room . Real spaces act as resonant filters and lead to virtual spaces made of resonances. Metaphorically, it encapsulates the memory of the voices and activity of the former workers from the coal mine.
My Extra Personal Space explores convergences of timbres from antagonist soundscapes of nature from the Normandy coast and urban contexts from Paris. Soundwalking is a component and tool to investigate, listen to and compose with the environment. This piece pays a tribute to urban drift of the Baudelairean flâneur — the casual wanderer, reporter and observer in the city.


Watching films online is not something new. This is perfect especially in the modern society where a great deal of individuals are pretty much looking at their phones and devices on a daily basis. That said, maybe not a great deal of individuals are conscious or understand how to flow movies online. You will find those websites which are only plain videos and authentic content but should you would like to watch films on line then you have to visit websites like HDS collection. If it comes to internet streaming, then here are a number of movies which you are able to watch.
* We've obviously the present movies and the ones which were published in the last ten years. The more recent movies will be published later on if a nice and crystal clear replica of the film is accessible.
* You might even watch those theatre films in theatre quality. This signifies is that the pictures will seem like they have been listed onto a camera.
* Additionally, there are films that just aired on TV or people directly to DVD films which never made it into theatres.
* You might also watch first movies. There are a number of websites providing original content. This usually means that you can not observe these from different websites since it's a wonderful feature for the website to get so people will join to them and utilize their hds-streaming.net.
* The very first thing which you will need to do would be to get a computer or device to access the net which is one more thing which you require.
* As soon as you've got both of these major things, you simply access a website which permits you to view these pictures on the internet. You may readily discover these websites through other websites and that is always quite simple to accomplish.
It's possible to watch unique films online and you do not even need to cover them.

Focussing on Learner Wellbeing and Mental Health
by SCL Education & Training
SCL Education & Training
@SCLeducation are 'Innovating to Educate', staying inside and staying 'stronger together'
In unprecedented times, SCL found themselves in a position where their only choice was to 'Innovate to Educate'. They needed to accelerate their learning innovation strategy to ensure that their learners' studies were unaffected during the current climate.
One of the most important considerations was thinking about SCL learners' wellbeing and mental health, ensuring we had a strong strategy in place to support all of the young people on our programmes. As a business who puts the 'learner at the centre of everything', we knew this was something we needed to activate swiftly.
SCL are a directly government funded private training provider in the UK who specialise in sports education. They are based nationwide, working in partnership with over 70 football, cricket, and rugby clubs, including Premiership Rugby, Leeds United, West Ham Foundation, and Yorkshire Cricket, to help over 2500 young people gain a Level 3 qualification in sport every year.
Using Microsoft Teams in order to 'Innovate to Educate', SCL have launched a platform for their teaching, collaborative working, and engagement of students. Thus far, this has been embraced by learners, parents and our teaching staff with open arms.
With all systems in place to ensure learners can continue their education uninterrupted, I worked with the teams at SCL to devise and launch our 'Learner at the Centre' wellbeing initiatives.
Working with the quality, curriculum, and Support Centre teams, we discussed some of the challenges our learners were facing. We gave plenty of consideration to our engagement methods for all and how we could utilise the systems we already had in place; ensuring learners were following government guidance regarding staying in and staying safe was integral to our planning.
The result of this was our new learner wellbeing guide, with a key focus on areas which we feel are most prevalent during this time. These will now be heavily featured throughout our delivery going forward, with a special focus on mental health and wellbeing support for people working remotely or in isolation. You can check out our guide for learners here.
All our staff have been trained on the use of this tool and we have shared this with the parents of our learners, giving them reassurance that at SCL we are maintaining the highest level of support and guidance and offering them the tools to navigate through this complicated time.

We have continued to encourage staying physically active and healthy during isolation by using the opportunity to leave the house once per day. In addition, we have created a timetable of fitness activities which will be based on recorded sessions from members of the SCL team; this includes qualified personal trainers who deliver sessions and guests who we have invited in to motivate our learners and keep them moving! We are mindful that staying active is a key component of maintaining positive mental health and wellbeing.
To boost morale, we will be encouraging all our learners to get involved, via our social media and their Microsoft Teams channels, in our themed days which provide a range of exciting content, from careers in sports interviews with key people from our network to funny 'Throwback' content. We will be running 'Monday Motivation', 'Tuesday Focus', 'Wednesday Wellbeing', 'Throwback Thursday' and 'Friday Focus' to generate engaging content for our learners, with lots of opportunities for them to get involved. We will be coupling this with Communication and Calculation content and challenges every week to encourage learners to interact and have fun!
We feel the most important part of ensuring learners to feel part of our community, is to encourage engagement with this content so they continue to feel they are a part of the 'SCL Family' but also have the opportunity to have some fun and a giggle with their peers.
Safeguarding remains fundamental to our daily operation at SCL; every consideration has been made to continue our safeguarding culture while we are distance learning. We are continuing to capture attendance and following up with leaners and the parents of our under-18's if we notice an absence from one of the two daily sessions with tutors. All of our staff have 24-hour access to our online portal to report safeguarding concerns or disclosures which instantly notifies our safeguarding team.
Additional sessions with our SEND team for our EHCP and vulnerable learners are available; not only to support with work, but offer a forum to 'check in' and try and maintain some normality during this time.
We have provided all learners and parents the access to SCL's freephone or text safeguarding line, which is manned by a team of safeguarding professionals. In addition, learners are clear on the key contacts available to them for a multitude of different topics which enables them to reach out for more specialist support, if they need to. Our Level 3 Mental Health First Aid trained staff continue to support our learners through the process until we are confident that they are in receipt of the right professional support which will help them.
As a team, we will continue over the coming weeks to work together to focus on learner wellbeing through these difficult times and ensure they are given every opportunity to succeed in their education.

Divers approach Aquarius, the world's only undersea lab.
Aquarius is a fully submerged laboratory with 400 square feet of living and research quarters; It is located 62 feet (20 meters) below sea level at the base of a coral reef within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Aquarius is the only underwater research facility in operation and has produced valuable data that only such an unique facility could provide.
However, you can imagine the cost of operations for a laboratory on the sea floor is not cheap. Its base operational cost is $1.5 USD million per year, increasing up to $3 million depending on research project(s). Since taking over operations in 1991, The University of North Carolina Wilmington has struggled to secure sufficient funding. Due to federal budget cuts in 2013 and consequently funding by NOAA, UNCW was unable to renew operations, meaning the closure of Aquarius.
In the eleventh hour (past the stroke of midnight is a better analogy), Florida International University submitted a proposal to resume operations at Aquarius. FIU has already received verbal approval, and it looks good that Aquarius will continue operations under new management.

Portage County (Ohio, USA)
Portage County, Ohio, south of Cleveland, was formed from Trumbull County in 1807. It is so named from the old Indian portage path seven miles long between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas rivers. It is the home of the flourishing Plainview Mennonite Church located between Kent and Aurora.

Kardashians confused, concerned about Kanye West marriage
The Kardashian family is confused — and worried — over Kanye West's sudden "marriage" to Yeezy singer Bianca Sensi, a source tells Page Six.
Our source says one of the issues the family is concerned about is how West's alleged new bride will fit into his children's lives.
A source told us, "The family is not taking it as a wedding right now." "They don't know what it is."
Later the following is missing In the latest of a string of anti-Semitic outbursts, it was reported last week that West, 45, married his employee Sensei, 27, in an intimate Beverly Hills, California, ceremony.
The source tells us that the Kardashians are now waiting to see if the disgraced rapper does, in fact, file marriage papers.
"They're not sure it's a PR stunt," says the source. "They are waiting to see whether he files the papers. They are nervous because if it is real then she will be in the children's life.
Kim Kardashian and West split in February 2021, and the pair share four children, North, Chicago, Pslam, and Saint.
Page Six previously reported that Kardashian doesn't like Sensory, and has "long despised" him.
West and Bianca Sensi had a wedding ceremony, but did not file marriage papers.
"Kim hates him," an insider told us last week.
Our latest source confirms that Kardashian is not a fan of Sensory.
"Kim has a bad opinion of her," says the insider, who also added, "This woman has done stuff to make herself look like Kim," without elaborating.
He added to the whole debacle: "It's already a nightmare co-parenting, this is just another wrench."
A source tells us Kardashian is worried about West's new marriage.
@CelebCandidly/Snorlax/Mega
Kardashian, 42, cried over the struggles of co-parenting with West earlier this year on the "Angie Martinez IRL" podcast — and also about dating, saying, "Part of me is like, 'Oh my god, this is every Will someone be scared because I don't have the easiest ex?'"
West, who is roaming with the known white supremacist nick fuentes and admired by Hitler, dropped from Adidas and other contracts.
He threatened Kardashian's ex Pete Davidson on Instagram and in a music video depicting the rapper kidnapping and burying a cartoon version of the former "Saturday Night Live" star.

The Best (and Worst) Cupholders
By Jonathan Yarkony
Jonathan Yarkony
Let's take a moment to step back from all the trivial news you're reading about today to examine something of utmost importance, an issue that impacts untold millions across North America, and to a lesser extent, the world.
Cupholders.
Every day, we spend hours sitting in traffic, listening to our jams, knowing only the receptacle in our daily ride, but there is a whole world of wonder and horror out there when it comes to cupholders, from the very first dash-top indented rings to creations of marvellously complex engineering whose only possible purpose is to break more easily. Europeans once laughed at us North Americans and our desire to take our double-doubles, water bottles, and Venti Mocha frappa-cappa-ding-dongs with us, but now all their cars have cupholders, too, so I'd say we won that war!
We are not here to rank every cupholder ever conceived, but we will look at some of the best on the market today, and ridicule some strange creations from the past. However, before we get to the heart of darkness of unsupported beverage pits, let us both compliment the many automakers that have recognized the superiority of a deep, fixed, centre console recess for the driver's primary beverage – that is indeed an ideal placement. Some only have a single, lone, solitary receptacle for an average drink, and that is fine, too, plus removable liners are much appreciated for ease of cleaning.
But it pains us when it is a too-large, unsupportive, too-shallow, slippy-slidey plastic-bottom pit that leads to sloshing, which can lead to projectile spurting, or worse yet, heaven forbid, tipping. Then there are the too-narrow, too-tight squeezers that will not accommodate even an average-sized coffee in safety, like the entire world drinks Red Bull with an occasional espresso on the go.
Okay, for the first few days I had the Lexus RX 350 L recently, I would press the button between the cupholders marked "PUSH" with an arrow pointing upwards, thinking it was a release to free the lining for cleaning (an excellent feature no doubt, for the spilliest, stickiest of areas), but no, this was another level of genius entirely. The front cup holder in the RX is variable depth, so if you have a taller water bottle or extra large coffee, you can press it down to be more deeply secure. The button releases the spring-loaded mechanism to raise the floor, so a small Tim's coffee won't be sunk right down to the lid making it almost impossible to extract.
But that's not all!
The RX cupholders also feature side support, three spring-loaded helping fingers that aren't too firm, yielding to wider cups easily enough, but blessed with rubber rollers to help secure narrower drink cans in concert with the rubber-lined mat on the bottom. Folks, I think we've just about achieved cupholder perfection here. While the second slot in the console cup-cradling duo is a fixed depth, it still has the rubber mat and side grips for various widths, so it's an acceptable companion to the truly innovative and adaptable drink holder.
Honourable mention: Ford Focus and others with manually removable pedestals that offer different depths for different drinks.
One good place for any drink is all well and good, but some families like to stay hydrated, caffeinated, and hydrated again on long and short trips. If you feel like you never have enough places for the drinks in your life and family, consider the Subaru Ascent and its 19 cupholders. Yes, nineteen, one short of twenty. Subaru has climbed to dizzying heights in the quest for cupholder supremacy.
You've got your two typical centre console cupholders in the front, and they may not be spectacular, but they are about the right size if a bit large (good for Subaru-driving refillable-water-bottle-using goodie-two-shoes), and have a rubber mat on the bottom to prevent slippage. Then you've got two bottle holder slots in each of the front door pockets making for six beverage slots in the front row alone.
Curiously, if ever there was a vehicle that prioritized rear-passenger hydration over front passenger caffeination, the Ascent is it. It's not just the fact of eight cupholders in the second row, two of which tuck into the centre console below the rear vents, meaning you don't lose any of them even if the centre seat is occupied. Nope, it's the simple but clever placement of a bottle-sized cupholder high on the door – perfect for kids of any size, even if they're in car seats – which really impressed us on our road trip and annual camping trip in the Ascent.
If you're doing the math, you'll know we're not even done yet, because there are five more in the third row, with a smaller one on the passenger side for something like a juice box, plus a separate tray for a phone or device. No passenger in the Ascent will be short on drink space; and because cupholders can double as device storage, stuff can be conveniently stowed when screen-time is over.
Honourable mention: Volkswagen Atlas, which was briefly the champ with 17.
The Double Down
Ford F-Series Super Duty
WIth a variety of bed sizes and massive payload and tow rating, you could transport an entire coffee-roasting operation, but what got our attention is a clever trick Ford came up with for the latest Super Duty launches in 2017. The two primary cupholders are wide and deep with grippy rubber bladders, and a connecting slot in between them for handles on big Texas-sized travel mugs, but that's not the best part.
Next to the cupholders is a storage slot with a removable divider tray that can separate coins from keys or gum and candy, whatever… However, the top of the cupholder side is a sliding cover that can move over to the storage side, and the rings cut out for the cupholder become a second pair of cupholders with nice rubberized floor at the bottom. They won't be the most secure cupholders ever, but it's great for riding with coffee and water in an easily accessible location, and another example of the ingenuity and convenience Ford brings to bear in these trucks.
Honourable mention: Mazda MX-5's removable cupholders – available when you need them, with two at the rear of the centre console and one that can go on the passenger side of the centre console.
Of course you want your hot drinks to stay hot and cold drinks to stay cold, but only a few examples of heated and cooled cupholders have been available, the most recent model to launch with them being the Mercedes-Benz GLE. At the press of a button, you can direct a cooling airflow or trigger a heating element that will try to maintain the temperature of your chosen beverage. Of course, they can't be terribly powerful for safety reasons, but if keeping that coffee one degree warmer for an extra minute is important to you, this might be the SUV for you. Alternatively, aftermarket units are available that slip in to existing cupholders or clip onto the side of the console and plug in to one of your vehicles outlets.
Basic but Good
Now, not every cupholder needs to be extreme or wildly innovative to catch our attention, and we highlight the Pacifica as the best of the basic: simple yet spacious, with fairly large bladders that help them secure smaller cans but can still flex out of the way for larger bottles or mugs. These superior cupholders aren't just for mom and dad either, as there is a tray that slides out of the back of the centre console with similar beverage holders for second-row passengers. And like the Subaru Ascent, the Pacifica has cupholders in all three rows to keep every passenger well hydrated.

Honourable mention: Hyundai Tucson is an example of another good basic design type – just the right size, with spring-loaded arms that help hold a variety of container sizes in place.
Chrysler Pacifica available on autoTRADER.ca
There are plenty of good ones on the market right now, but only a few that truly deserve our scorn. Chief among those are the Porsche retractable cupholders that you will find on a number of their products. It's great that they disappear when not in use, but they are so close to being useless that it's a tragic waste of Porsche's engineering resources. Granted, it does continue a tradition of similarly useless pop-out cupholders in Volkswagen group products over the years, but why do they think that drinks are never more than four inches tall? Anything taller than that is a huge spill risk as the arm is too close to the bottom.
Porsche and Volkswagen were not alone in experimenting with novel collapsible drink holders, and one legendary example was from Saab, which was one of the flimsiest pieces of plastic ever to be tasked with keeping a beverage upright. At least BMW and Porsche were smart enough to keep them over the passenger and not too close to the driver, because they knew the drinks would end up in someone's lap half the time. This thing is a marvel of engineering for fascination and not function, unless its primary function was being left hidden in the console.
Considering that crossovers are taking over the roads because of their convenience and utility, it is shocking to see a freshly updated subcompact crossover miss the mark so completely when it comes to the space for your cup of coffee. The brand-new 2019 Mazda CX-3 has a storage console under the armrest, with the forward section open, and the mere suggestion of a semi-circular cradle for a cupholder. C'mon Mazda, Driving Matters, but cupholders are sacrosanct. There needs to be some measure of support for coffee or tea in typical takeout cups, because drinks just slip and slosh all over the place in these.
In an entirely different example of good design gone wrong, we will call your attention to removable rubberized liners that are poorly secured. Two recent examples I can think of are the Toyota 4Runner and Chevrolet Colorado. It's great for a rubberized receptacle to hold a drink tightly, but when the removable liner is not secured at all, condensation from cold drinks form a pretty strong glue for about half a second, and having the liner come out with the drink and then fall off as you're taking a sip isn't exactly a recipe for keeping your eyes and attention on the road. Of the pair, the Colorado was worse because the liner encompasses two drink spaces so it's quite a nuisance when it comes out.
Lastly, we have to give some flak to the elbow bashers – cupholders placed awkwardly to the directly to the rear of the shifter, colliding with elbows during spirited driving, especially when paired with a manual transmission. The previous generation Mazda MX-5 Miata was guilty of this, its cramped quarters doing it no favours, and the Toyobaru twins Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 continue the tradition of driver's cars with questionable cupholders. The BRZ and 86 cupholders are also positioned in line with the shifter, but they're fairly deep and the tray slides back and out of the way. However, then your drink is in an impossible position to reach for a quick sip, so these are more for carrying drinks to your destination, and not sipping on the go.
Because coffee is for drinking, not wearing. 9/27/2018 10:00:00 AM 9/27/2018 10:00:00 AM

Jazzology ist ein seit 1949 bestehendes Jazz-Label von George H. Buck. Es gibt vor allem Traditional Jazz und Mainstream Jazz heraus, aber auch Blues und modernen Jazz.

Die ersten Aufnahmen entstanden 1949, Sessions unter Leitung von Tony Parenti, und dann kamen erst wieder 1954 weitere Aufnahmen heraus, unter dem Sub-Label GHB. Dabei wurde Jazz im Chicago-Stil von Jazzology, im New Orleans Stil von GHB herausgebracht. Das Hauptquartier zog im Rahmen der Expansion des Labels nach Columbia (South Carolina). Ab Mitte der 1960er Jahre kaufte man weitere Labels mit Traditional Jazz auf: Icon, MONO (Music of New Orleans), Circle Records, Southland, Jazz Crusade. Auf Circle wurde Big-Band-Musik der Swing-Ära herausgebracht (vorher auf dem Sub-Label World bei Jazzology). 1970 übernahmen sie das Paramount Label von John Steiner.

1973 bis 1975 kam es zu einer Unterbrechung und einem Rückschlag, als RCA Records, die bis dahin die Pressung und Produktion der Alben übernommen hatte, sich von diesem Geschäft trennte und dabei auch alle Master Tapes zerstört hatte. Das Label zog in dieser Zeit nach Atlanta. Mitte der 1970er Jahre erwarben sie Audiophile Records und 1980 Jazz Record von Art Hodes und 1981 den Lang-Worth-Katalog. Lang-Worth war eine von Cy Langlois Ende der 1930er Jahre gegründete Plattenfirma, die bis in die 1940er Jahre bestand und unter anderem Jimmie Lunceford, Fats Waller und Count Basie auf großen Scheiben für Radiostationen herausbrachten. Jazzology erwarb die Rechte von Fred Norman, der sie seit Mitte der 1970er besaß. 1983 übernahm Jazzology das Label Bodeswell (von Bob Wilber), 1985 Monmouth-Evergreen und 1984 das Label Progressive von Gus Statira. 1990 erwarben sie American Music Records, ein von Bill Russell 1944 gegründetes Label für New Orleans Jazz.

Heute gibt es in der Gruppe die Sub-Labels Jazzology Records (mit traditionellem Chicago-Jazz), American Music Records (authentischer New Orleans Jazz), GHB Records (Jazz im New Orleans Stil), Black Swan Records (Reissues von Black Swan Records, 1921 von Afroamerikanern in Harlem gegründet und 1924 von Paramount Records übernommen, Jazz der 1920er und Blues), Solo Art Records (Pianisten), Audiophile Records (in der klassische amerikanische populäre Musik erscheint), Circle Records (Big-Bands), Southland Records (Blues) und Progressive Records (Modern Jazz).

Jazzology unterhielt auch den Collector´s Record Club, die ab 1978 den CRC Newsletter herausbrachten. Das Label gibt einen Jazzology Newsletter heraus.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace – Michelle Xiong
"I am the Director of Diversity & Inclusion at the Raleigh Regional Association of REALTORS®. I have to thank Meredith's I-O psychology graduate program manager, Claire Jefferies, who knew of my diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) passion and kept sending me roles to apply for. I am forever grateful we have people working in this program like Claire who don't let their students settle for a job unless it's "the" job.
The program has been thoughtfully designed by Dr. Joseph Mazzola to give exposure and knowledge to each facet of I-O psychology, which has helped me greatly in all aspects of the workplace. For example, I am more self-aware of what type of leader I need to succeed in my role and likewise for myself in terms of being a teammate and/or leader.
A huge part of what I-O psychologists do is go through the process of change management. In working with the REALTORS® community, it has been about examining processes and questioning why and how they came to be. It's about recognizing systems that no longer serve everyone and coming up with a strategic plan to change them, putting those plans into action, and measuring the outcomes to ensure it's working. Overall, as I-O psychologists, we just want to make an organization a better place for everyone. That is always the ultimate goal.
I believe this field will continue to grow and expand. I-O psychologists cannot be easily replaced by automation or outsourcing so that in itself makes us valuable professionals in an organization. We are the ultimate listeners and thinkers of an organization.
What makes I-O psychologists special is that we pay attention to the behaviors of individuals, groups, and/or leaders in organizations. We can assess problems and provide scientifically backed solutions with the help of data. If an organization is waning, hiring an I-O psychologist would prove to yield a high return on investment. We can help with motivation, coaching, human resources, organizational structure, psychological safety, and so much more."

Finasteride (also known as Propecia) is a once-a-day tablet that blocks the production of DHT, a male hormone that shrinks the hair follicles.
Minoxidil (you may have heard of it as Rogaine and Regaine) comes as an over-the-counter lotion or foam that you simply rub into your scalp every day.
Steroids might make you think of super-sized bodybuilders, but they can also beef up your barnet. You can either choose from injections or a cream (we know which sounds more appealing, but we should let you know the latter isn't as effective or speedy).
Stick to treatments that have the approval of a body like the NHS or the FDA for finding a reputable, tried-and-tested treatment.
You can expect to see noticeable results in the first 3-6 months. It all depends on the treatment you try out though, so don't fret if it's longer before you start to see progress.
So, let's get to the root of the problem: hair tends to thin with age. In women, it's often linked to hormonal changes like the menopause, where falling levels of oestrogen and progesterone give the lead to testosterone, resulting in locks to become less than luscious. Thyroid imbalances, low iron levels, weight loss, poor diet and stress are also culprits that cause hair to fall – here, a healthy diet and healing treatments like an Indian head massage can give you a headstart before you resort to more serious solutions.

Then 1.5- 2 miles easy.
It was a tough early run but got it done. Ended up with 4.8 miles, avg. pace 8:53. Tuesday – Ran an easy 4.01 miles, avg. pace 9:28 and did a little core work afterwards. Wednesday – My 6 yr. old didn't want me to run that morning. My parents suggested he run with me thinking he wouldn't want to run but he happily wanted to go with me. So I compromised with him and said I'd run a mile with him. He did great! He said he wanted to go again. He's run with me before so we'll see how long this lasts. 🙂 Afterwards, I ran 5.0 miles, target pace was 8:50-9. Avg. pace was 8:49.
Then easy until you reach 7 miles.
Felt good and my paces came in a little faster, avg. pace was 8:49. Afterwards, I did a 10 min dvd for some core work. Friday – Ran 4.1 recovery miles and then ran with my 6 year old. He wanted to run again and I was thinking we'd just run a mile again but he surprised me when he wanted to keep going. We ran 1.5 miles together. So proud of him. 🙂 Saturday – I was actually dreading this run since I had to get up early and it's my longest run so far this training cycle. I'm glad it went well. Maybe it was the Generation UCAN that helped. I took ~1.5 scoops before my run and then just had Nuun to hydrate in my Simple Hydration bottle. Workout was: 14 miles easy pace, with last mile around 8:35-40. Last mile ended up being a little fast. Total avg. pace was 9:07. My energy was steady throughout and I felt good. Listening to music helps me too. I used my AfterShokz wireless Bluetooth headphones. They are the best!! I don't have to worry about ear buds falling out. They sound great and they are safer since you can still hear your surroundings. If you're interested you can save 30% off using my link: http://mbsy.co/aftershokz/30547452. If you're local, I have demo units that you can try before you buy. Sunday – Rest day.
Total miles = 41.43 miles. CIM marathon training seems to be going great. Got all my workouts in and even got a few unexpected runs with my kiddo.
Monday was solar eclipse day. I was at work but they had a Great Place to Work party where they had sun/moon snacks and handed out eclipse glasses. Besides the raisins and moon pies, there were Sun Chips, Sunny D, and Krispy Kreme donuts. We were viewing on top of a parking garage. The eclipse was cool to see. It was 99.3 percent covered. It got a little darker, to the point that the parking garage lights came on. I didn't take pics of the eclipse but hubby sent me some he took from his iPhone. I thought they were pretty good for iPhone pics. He said he went into the manual settings of his phone, lowered the ISO and used the filter from his glasses.
How'd your week go? Did you enjoy the solar eclipse? Have you tried Aftershokz headphones? Any races coming up?
There's a new Guest Host Series for the Weekly Wrap to give Holly and Tricia a break. This week's host is Teresa @ Finding Fabulous at Fifty. Be sure to check her out.
I'm also linking up with Courtney, Eat Pray Run DC's training recap linkup.
Wow! What a great week of training! Love those pics of your little one running with you. When my now 17 year old was about 8 or 9, he went running with me a few times. It was priceless and a memory I cherish always!
The eclipse passed over Hawaii in the early morning hours while we were still sleeping. It wasn't supposed to be anywhere near totality though. The pics your hubby captured are pretty cool!
Thanks for linking up …have a great week!
Sounds like you had a really awesome week! And it also sounds like where you work is a pretty cool place. Here we were only about 70% and I didn't have glasses so not so much to see.
And good for your little runner-in-training, too.
Thanks Judy! It was nice they had treats at work. It is so much better with the glasses. I was amazed.
Maybe next time . . .
Your training is going great, well done with your workouts!! And your son did a great job on his runs, he's adorable!
I wish we had a better view of the eclipse but I did get to see a sliver of it through the clouds!
And I LOVE the Aftershokz…don't know how I ever lived without them, lol!
Thanks Janelle! Yeah, the Aftershokz headphones rock!
This workout schedule seems so perfect. However, it is strict too. I enjoyed seeing your pics.
Great week of training! I totally missed the eclipse because I was at a work meeting. I'm on a racing streak….I had a 5k on the schedule for every week of August and 4 more scheduled for September. Most of them I will be pacing so I have a lot of easy miles scheduled.
Thanks Sara! Wow! Have fun on your racing streak! Pacing is fun!
Great week! So cool that you got to run with your son too–and look what great form he has! One year ago we were in Cannon Beach on vacation for a little road trip from Portland to Couer D'Alene Idaho then Glacier National Park then Spokane. Great trip!
Thanks Jennifer! That sounds like a fun road trip!
Awesome job on your workouts this week, especially your long run!
It was kind of cloudy here so we didn't really get to see too much of the eclipse, but it was still fun to be outside with coworkers during that time.
Thanks Kim! I agree, it was fun to be with coworkers during that time.
Nice week as always! How cool that Josh ran with you twice! Your Cannon beach pics look fun!
Ha what a great idea to have moon pies for the eclipse! I can't remember the last time I had one of those!
Thanks Zenaida! Hope you get to try Aftershokz. I really love how they don't fall out like ear buds did. That would always bother me in a race.
Awesome that you got in two runs with your son! 🙂 Your training is going great – keep it up, lady!

AFC - 04/27/06 Goran Visnjic Against Whaling!
Goran Visnjic joins the world campaign for the ban on whaling, in which, amongst many organizations Animal Friends also takes part, appealing for Croatia to join the numerous countries which are already members of the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
"You may be as surprised and horrified as I was to learn that whales are still being hunted and it's just as cruel as ever.
Since a global ban on whaling in 1986, Japan has continued to kill whales in the name of 'scientific research.' Yet legitimate scientists agree: there's no need to kill whales to research them.
I need your help right now to save whales before it's too late."
Animal Friends collaborates with the Croatian Ministry of Culture and hopes that Croatia will soon become a member of the International Whaling Commission in order to prevent this cruelty and extinction of cetaceans. The official beginning of this year's campaign of Animal Friends and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is scheduled for May.

I typically don't get packages from Poland. In fact, I don't believe that I've ever received anything directly from Poland. That changed last week.
A few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from Agnieszka informing me about the Polish fashion company Marthu. I decided to check out the site and was very intrigued by what I saw. One of the things that really stood out to me about Marthu's bow ties is that they are bold and colorful. Those are two things that I'm not afraid of.
It seems to me that there's potential for people to reveal more about themselves when people also them about the theme of a particular tie. For instance, I was drawn to the Manhattan Map tie. The pattern is exactly what is sounds like — a map of Manhattan. Marthu took a Google Maps section of this New York City borough and printed it on 100% cotton cloth. While I'm not a New Yorker, I have visited the Big Apple on multiple occasions and have fond memories of my time in the city. If someone asks me about the tie, I can tell about experiences I've had in the city. Imagine the stories someone wearing this tie could tell if they lived or worked in Manhattan. Either way, that's why, when given a choice for a tie to review, I selected this one.
Agnieszka also surprised me by sending me a bonus bow tie — the Pixel. I decided to wear it the day after it arrived in the mail. While wearing it I had kind of a strut since I liked how colorful and bold it was. People noticed. In fact, a woman spoke out and said, "Great bow tie." She liked it.
The ties are thick, which I appreciate as it helps them keep their shape.
The ties have an adjustable clasp for controlling their length. Many self-tie options have clips with measured slots. While the adjustable clasps takes ability to easily measure the length, it enables one to more closely fine tune the length. There are times that an 1/8 of an inch adjustment is better than a 1/4 adjustment.
When untied the blades are flat and resemble the Batwing bow tie type. However, when one ties them, they take the Butterfly form.
Both seem very sturdy and high quality. It appears that both will last a good while and hold their shapes and patterns for a long time.
Marthu clearly offers quality bow ties, but it also sells other fashion accessories that go well with bow ties. These include lapel pins and pocket squares. Check them out!
