Hi Sandking, how does one get ahold of you? Your profile disallows email and PM's. I read somewhere that you sell an MLS import script and wanted to get more information and possibly purchase it.
Okay that site is very very ugly. The control panel looks like a single developer made it without much talent for css and standards. To me I bet it is a slow support, bad website combo.

New Book Announcement: Executive Engagement Strategies—How to Have Conversations and Develop Relationships that Build B2B Business
Author Bev Burgess explores the growing importance of executive engagement and how marketers can move from fragmented initiatives to an orchestrated program.
By: ITSMA
LEXINGTON, Mass. - March 31, 2020 - PRLog -- When it comes to marketing and selling complex, high value products and services in today's digital world, how you engage with buyers has never mattered more. Leading B2B marketing expert, Bev Burgess, explores this theme in her third book, Executive Engagement Strategies: How to have conversations and develop relationships that build B2B business. The book was published by Kogan Page on March 3, 2020 in the UK and is being released today in the US.
In this follow-up to her highly successful, A Practitioner's Guide to ABM: Accelerating Growth in Strategic Accounts, co-authored with ITSMA President & CEO Dave Munn in 2017, Burgess explains that while consumer buying behavior is moving increasingly online, business purchases rely much more on deeper and more ongoing relationships. Executives purchasing business solutions still buy from people, but it's how we engage with them that makes all the difference.
The book, written in Burgess' clear, pragmatic style, distills her many years of practical experience in B2B marketing to create an insightful playbook on executive engagement. As Jon Geldart, Director General of the Institute of Directors, says in the Forward, the book "codifies for the first time the random acts of interaction used by most companies today into a well-defined, comprehensive framework which we can all use."
Burgess states, "My goal was to create an action-oriented resource that reflects how high-value business solutions are actually bought today. I explore how marketers can engage with senior executives to get their attention, spark their interest, and earn their trust. The book includes a step-by-step guide of how modern buyers want to engage at each stage of the buying process and uses real-life case studies to bring these concepts to life."

About 2 weeks ago I received a lovely invite to meet with the two awesome marketing execs from Sleek Makeup. I was REALLY excited about this because the last time I went to London I went to Superdrug with strict and clear direction, to pick up Sleek Palettes. Unfortunately when I got there they were all out! I was bummed out.
However, I got to meet for drinks with the lovely sleek girls and learn about the line. Sleek is a really innovative line, it is like nothing we have in the US. It is an affordable line all about new and exciting things. I was trying to think of what we have in the US that is comparable and we don't have anything! Drugstore make up here is very boring. In the UK you have Barry M, Gosh, Sleek, Eyeko...all that fun stuff.
I think this would be a fantastic product to bring over to the US, especially with the economy the way it is now, I really think it would explode as there is just NOTHING like this in the US. It is a super fun line with an emphasis on quality with a low price tag. Sign me up!
Onto the products, I was lucky enough to get to try out some really great products. I got the palettes, some lashes, eyeliners, glitter liners and lip glosses.
My favorite product by far were the palettes so that is what I am going to review here for you. I was SO impressed by these palettes. First of all, the colors are amazing, bright, SUPER pigmented, soft and easy to blend. The packaging is a matte black palette, I love black packaging. By the way the graphite and sunset are new and not out yet. Yay for trying new things!
I got 4 different palettes, the signature one, the graphite one, one called sunset and a neon one. Take a look at those colors, the colors go on exactly how they look, which is amazing. I do not have anything like the Neon's as I don't wear too many colors, this will be the one I use the least but never the less it is a FUN product, so BRIGHT! My favorite has to be the graphite palette as I love smokey eyes and grey colors. However, I have been using the signature palette alot, especially the champagne color and the dark olive green.
Swatches.... all without bases! Pretty impressive!!
Have you guys tried out sleek? I am so jealous of you Uk'ers and your drugstore makeup!
Hey i just found your site randomlly... but i have a question is there anyway to get this stuff in the US? it looks amazing... and your right drug store makeup here really isn't that great.
I have the Acid one :). Only the middle four shades are truly fluorescent, but (as on your swatches) all are bright and pigmented. I love it ^_^.
MakeupbyCaroline- yours is soooo much better. Nyx is so overrated!!
Cris- ues the graphite and sunset are new! they are great!
hippies- I dont know if there is a way, maybe you can email one of my contacts there and ask her if you can order through the website?
I have 3 Sleek eyeshadow palettes and they're all great!I love their golds and bronzes...so pigmented and smooth!
Ooo new palettes :) The sleek palettes are really good, great value for money, and great colour ranges. I normally talk myself out of palettes as i wont use all the colours. Can't wait to see these in the shops.
I might have some dupes I might be willing to part with if someone was looking. I was just sorting some stuff out for a blog sale and I guess I could sent to international.
Part of the fun is having things you cant get in your country!!
Wow ..Graphite and Sunset haven't even been released over here yet! They made out that the Curious palette would be the last one.
Sleek ARE planning to ship to the U.S soon..when? Who knows! They've been saying they will for months now.
sarah- that would be the best 80's party makeup ever!!! Such a good idea and hair scrunchies!!
Vex- they are gorgeous. Yes they will ship to the US eventually but like you said, who knows when! I hope soon! Tthe US needs this stuff.
I adore the Sleek palettes! I have three of them- Storm, Original and Safari. They're so well pigmented for the price!
This post makes me want to try out a Sleek palette even more!
tina- you should!!! Are they available to you?
Lion- that is my fave too!
Nope, unfortunately, they 're not... my only option is ebay at this point!
when will the graphite palette be released???
Tina- That is annoying, maybe try emailing them?


Structural Behavior of Materials Department, Westinghouse R&D Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Del Research division, Professional Services Group, Inc., Hellertown, Pa.
An automated, computer-controlled K-decreasing technique was used to determine the threshold, ΔKth , and low-rate fatigue crack growth of a NiMoV rotor steel. A more conventional K-increasing technique was also used. Excellent agreement between results obtained from both techniques was observed. For the material and environment studied, no crack arrest was observed for crack growth rate down to 2.5 × 10−8 mm/cycle (10−9 in./cycle). As such, an operational definition of ΔKth was defined as the stress intensity factor range corresponding to a crack growth rate of 2.5 × 10−8 mm/cycle (10−9 in./cycle). In room temperature air environment, ΔKth was found to be 6.2 and 4.0 MPam (5.6 and 3.6 ksiin.) for R = 0.1 and R = 0.5, respectively. At the same ΔK level, crack growth rate was found to increase with increasing stress ratio. The influence of stress ratio on crack growth rate, however, decreases with increasing ΔK. By raising temperature to 93° C (200°F), ΔKth was found to be suppressed to 4.4 and 2.9 MPam (4.0 and 2.6 ksiin.) for R = 0.1 and R = 0.5, respectively. Stress ratio effect on crack growth rate is the same as at room temperature, but is less significant. Temperature was found to influence crack growth rate in the threshold region for both stress ratio studied, with higher crack growth rate at 93°C (200°F) than at room temperature. Temperature sensitivity was found to be less for R = 0.5 than R = 0.1. The existence of hydrogen was found to have little effect on ΔKth and low-rate fatigue crack growth behavior of this NiMoV rotor steel.

Prague is one of the most "slack" cities in the world. Almost every sunny day there is a slackline session in the park. Slackline is a modern version of a tightrope walking. This sport develops your balance and concentration skills. It naturally builds your core. But most important is the feeling which you get from slacklining. Your effort will change to the euphoria. You will walk in the air. Your body and mind will surprise you!
IF YOU CAN'T FIND A DATE THAT SUITS YOU, SIMPLY CONTACT GUIDILO! Thank you!
Take comfortable clothing which can get a bit dirty.
Take something what protect you from rain and cold. Come rain or shine, this slackline workshop will take place either way – so be prepared!
Learning slackline include lot of falling (from 1 ft /30 cm height) ask yourself if your body ( back, knees ...) is ready for that.
There is also possibility to make Slackline in Prague Park for bigger group or just for one person. Please contact Guidilo about that. Children and dogs are welcome.
We will meet at the place close to the park (a public transport stop or your hotel). First we will walk on the place, rigg lines and I will explain you how to walk on it. (15 - 30 minutes). The next 90 minutes will be just for you and the line. After first 20 minutes of trying you will feel desperate. The line will be still shaking a lot, even if you try your best. However, this will change in next 40 or 60 minutes. But it is not easy to stay motivated. According to my experience, it is better to learn slackline in two or more people, because this way you can see, that slackline is difficult for everybody. After the lesson you will be happy and the day after you will feel muscles you never felt before!


Thunder Celestial Temple was going to grant 108 celestial titles! The four domains were going to become an arena for a fierce competition!
This is the first time celestial titles were given since the Celestial Realm collapsed. There was also Celestial Lord Qing Shui, who would teach celestial spells. In addition, there was the promise from the two ancient families and the mysterious family from primal times giving the right to use the celestial pool.
All of this had pushed the celestial title competition to a peak!
They were using the celestial title competition to bring the battle intent of the entire Allheaven Star System to its peak before the battle against the Alliance Star System!
Countless cultivation families from all four domains would send out people to the designated arenas. Then, with a Messenger of the Thunder Celestial Temple as judge, 108 people will be chosen from each domain to be sent to the Thunder Celestial Temple for the final competition!
Southern Domain, one of the three main planets, Planet Earth Flame. The space thousands of kilometers away from the planet was enveloped in a bright light.
Thousands of kilometers away was an area filled with countless cultivators. The battlefield for the Southern Domain was here!
Thousands of kilometers away, there were countless blue stones floating. There was a person or several sitting on each stone. The blue stones were spread across the area.
The blue stones were prepared by the Southern Domain for all the people who wanted to watch the competition. Right now there were no less than tens of thousands of cultivators spread among the blue stones!
Their cultivation levels varied a lot, though most of them were cultivators at the first step. Aside from accompanying their family members who came for the competition, they also came to broaden their views by seeing some celestial spells.
There were a lot of red stones among the countless blue stones, and each cultivator who sat on one had shining eyes filled with battle intent. These were the people who obtained the right to fight for the celestial title in the Southern Domain!
There were about 300 to 400 red stones. The 108 people who would have the right to go to the Thunder Celestial Temple would be chosen from them.
At this moment, within the battlefield that was thousands of kilometers wide, two cultivators were fighting. Various spells filled the area, and the two sides were evenly matched. All the viewers watched closely, especially those that would battle next; they watched even more intently.
Of course, there were cultivators that only took one glance and withdrew their gaze. It was obvious that this kind of battle couldn't catch their interest.
Zhan Konglie was one of them!
The Zhan family was a large family. Zhan Konglie was the best junior of the Zhan family. His family's requirements for him was to obtain top 10 in the Southern Domain competition!
"Top 10… If nothing goes wrong, then it's in the bag!" Zhan Konglie's fierce gaze swept the area and landed on a red stone. On that red stone sat Shengong Hu, who had his eyes closed. He seemed to notice Zhan Konglie's gaze and opened his eyes.
The two of them smiled at each other and withdrew their gazes.
When Shengong Hu withdrew his gaze, he looked into the distance with a bleak expression. He originally wanted to help his lord when he found out that the Yao family was hunting him. However, the Shengong family ancestor personally came out to stop him.
Although Shengong Hu was unwilling, he eventually had to yield. However, he couldn't help but sneer. The Yao family was really seeking their own death by provoking his lord!
Although, the matter that occurred later was outside of Shengong Hu's expectations. His lord repeatedly countacttacked the Yao family, killed a lot of cultivators, and obtained the title of Master Demon.
In the end, an earth-shaking battle in the Northern Domain made the name "Xu Mu" echo throughout the Allheaven Star System!
Although all of this appeared illustrious on the surface, it was very different from the impression Shengong Hu had. He was very silent for a long time, recalling everything from before, and his heart felt bitter.
With Shengong Hu's intelligence, he had his speculations.
"I'm afraid that Xu Mu is not as strong as I imagined… I fear his cultivation level is lower than mine… No matter how diligent he has been in increasing his cultivation at most he is at peak Corporeal Yang like me. Alas." Shengong Hu's heart felt very complex as he withdrew his gaze from the void.
Zhan Konglie's heart was also very complex along with Shengong Hu. He was as smart as Shengong Hu, and when news of Wang Lin being hunted by the Yao family reached him, he gradually realized the truth. His heart was also filled with bitterness.
"Xu Mu… Alas, I didn't expect even I, Zhan Konglie, to have a day where I'm deceived. It isn't that I couldn't see through his cultivation, it was that there was nothing to see through, that was simply his cultivation level. He must've had a fortunate encounter to reach the Corporeal Yang in the Thunder Celestial Realm and was not hiding his cultivation like I had thought!
"Even now this person must still be at the Corporeal Yang stage. I was wrong about him!" Zhan Konglie let out a sigh and was filled with disappointment.
During this period of time, Senior's name had become famous in the Allheaven Star System. Every time she remembered what happened in the Thunder Celestial Realm, she would feel shock. If it wasn't for Senior taking the lead, she would have already died.
There was another red stone with Tang Yanfeng sitting on top. He saw this and let out a cold snort but didn't speak.
Zhang Konglie, Shengong Hu, and Tang Yanfeng were famous in the Southern Domain. They were named the three calamities of the Southern Domain!
Aside from the viewers from the various cultivation families, there were also several people here responsible for managing the battles. Three of them came from the Thunder Celestial Temple.
Two of the three wore green robes and their eyes were cold as they watched everything. One of them was very old and wore a purple robe. He had his eyes closed as if he didn't care about anything that occurred before him.
The two green-robed messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple were extremely respectful to the purple-robed elder. Even the surrounding ancestors of the Southern Domain were very respectful to him.
Aside from the three of them, there were also various ancestors of the the cultivations families in the Southern Domain. These people were sitting on white stones! There were very few white stones, less than 10, but each person sitting on them was very famous!
However, the Shengong family ancestor and Lie Yunzi were not here.
The battle inside the arena was gradually coming to an end. The two cultivation families involved all carefully looked at the battlefield.
A moment later, one of the fighters' body shivered as the spell hit his body. His face turned pale and blood came out from the corner of his mouth. When he saw his opponent chasing after him, he let out a sigh and said, "I admit defeat!"
A laugh came from the person pursuing him. He turned around and gave up his pursuit.
A shadow appeared inside the arena, it was one of the green-robed Thunder Celestial Temple messengers. He appeared with a flash of thunder as he swept the arena and calmly said, "Li Ye wins!"
Just as the battle occurred outside of Planet Earth Flame, Wang Lin's figure appeared in the void hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
His eyes were cold as he looked into the distance.
"Li Yuan said that the Southern Domain's competition was set to be held at Planet Earth Flame! Every participant needs a qualification token from the Southern Domain to participate! If one has no token, he is not allowed to enter, and once it starts, the area within 100,000 kilometers will be sealed! If you're late, you aren't allow to enter!" Wang Lin let out a cold snort and took a step forward. Ripples appeared under his feet, and after a second step, he disappeared.
Within 100,000 kilometers of Planet Earth Flame, there were cultivators sitting at 10,000 kilometer intervals. They formed rings that surrounding Planet Earth Flame and prevented outsiders from entering.
Strands of spiritual energy came out from them, and they were tightly connected, forming a network. The moment one person's position changed, it would be immediately perceived by the others.
Meng Lin was currently sitting among the stars with anger dwelling in his heart. He was someone from the Meng family from Planet Earth Flame. He wanted to take this chance to observe celestial spells used during the competition. However, he was sent all the way out here, so he was very angry.
Thinking about how his peers were rejoicing in his misfortune when they found out he was sent to guard here, he became more gloomy and couldn't calm himself down to cultivate no matter what.
"If I could see the various celestial spells used in this celestial title competition, especially those of the the there calamities of the Southern Domain, it would greatly benefit my cultivation. Alas!" Meng Lin let out a dark sigh. His was only at the late stage of Soul Transformation and wasn't able to take the final step into the Ascendant stage. Then his pupils suddenly shrank as he stared straight ahead.
A ripple suddenly appeared 1,000 feet away from Meng Lin. As the ripples spread, a person walked out.
This person wore white and his black hair moved without any wind. In particular, this person's eyes were exceptionally brilliant. The moment Meng Lin met those eyes, he felt as if countless bolts of thunder had exploded in his mind. His origin soul nearly collapsed and his spiritual energy leaked directly out of his body.
At this moment, he lost consciousness.
Wang Lin's figure flickered and walked past Meng Lin. It wasn't until Wang Lin was far away that Meng Lin regained his senses. He was filled with confusion as he looked back but saw nothing.
"Strange, why did I just enter a trance…" Meng Lin scratched his head and couldn't think of a reason. After letting out a sigh, he began to cultivate. Strangely, this time he was successful and sank into cultivation after a short period of time.


This is an Air Purifier that really works!! It does a great job in removing allergins and smokers residue. I suffer from spring allergies and occasional hayfever and I am sleeping much better after using this air purifier.

Scottish Government not trying to find money to settle teacher dispute – union
Scotland's biggest teaching union has claimed the Scottish Government and councils "have little or no interest" in finding the funding required to end a pay dispute.
Teachers are in the midst of strike action, with a wave of walkouts currently underway and more on the way.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has previously said there is a "gap" between what is being asked for and what is affordable.
It is becoming increasingly clear that both the Scottish Government and Cosla have little or no interest in finding the modest additional funding that could bring a new offer to the table
Following a meeting with the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) – the body tasked with coming up with teacher pay deals made up of the Scottish Government, Cosla and teaching unions – Des Morris, the salaries convener at the EIS, said: "It is becoming increasingly clear that both the Scottish Government and Cosla have little or no interest in finding the modest additional funding that could bring a new offer to the table to potentially end this pay dispute.
"Five months since their sub-inflationary 5% pay offer was overwhelmingly rejected by teachers, and more than two months since a rehashed version of the same offer was again rejected, the Scottish Government and Cosla brought absolutely nothing new to the table in last week's meeting – just a stubborn stance that Scotland's teachers should accept 5% which represents yet another substantial real-terms pay cut that only further erodes the value of teachers' pay."
Mr Morris said the unions want to negotiate, but accused the Government of "a repeated and unreasonable insistence that all of the compromise must come from Scotland's teachers".
Following the talks on Friday, which ended without a deal being struck, Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said meeting had been "constructive", something the union rejects.
"It is disingenuous and unacceptable for the Scottish Government and Cosla to continue to misrepresent negotiations as positive and constructive," Mr Morris said.
"The cold, hard truth is that, despite all their public claims of working tirelessly and turning over every stone to reach agreement, their entrenched position and refusal to offer any compromise at all leaves teachers, children and young people, and their parents, facing the prospect of continuing and escalating strike action in Scotland's schools.
"The ongoing and planned strike action is entirely avoidable. The Scottish Government and Cosla need to come forward with a genuinely improved offer that unions can put to our members."
The EIS has said no further talks have been scheduled.
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "We remain in talks with unions and recent dialogue has explicitly been focused on the potential areas of compromise with a view to reaching an agreement which is acceptable to all sides and resolving this dispute. The current offer is the fourth that has been put to unions.
"The union demands for a 10% increase for all teachers – even the highest paid – is not affordable within the Scottish Government's fixed budget and a more pragmatic approach is needed before we can reach a compromise.
"The Scottish Government values the hard work that our teaching workforce put in for our learners and we remain absolutely committed to ensuring they receive a fair pay deal.
"Strikes in our schools are in no one's interest – including for pupils, parents and carers who have already had to deal with significant disruption over the past three years. I continue to urge teaching unions to reconsider current industrial action while talks are ongoing.
"We hope that these discussions will continue to progress towards a compromise to ensure a sustainable deal for all involved."
Katie Hagmann, Cosla Spokesperson for Resources, said they remained in discussions with the unions.
"Strikes in education are in nobody's interest and all parties are eager to seek a resolution that not only protects the teaching and wider local government workforce, but also our children and young people's educational experience," she said.
"Cosla leaders are clear that given the financial pressures being faced, it remains the case that the 10% ask of the trade unions remains unaffordable and therefore we still remain a distance apart in terms of a settlement.
"Given the local government settlement for 23/24, what teachers are asking for, over and above the current offer, is simply not sustainable on a recurring basis.
"Already, councils are considering a range of options to balance the books next year and options will inevitably include a reduction in jobs across all service areas, including schools."

Airbags are a most important security feature in modern cars, but if they do not work properly it can lead to a serious accident.
Each airbag system comprises collision detectors, a controller module, along with an airbag module. The detectors respond to sudden changes in an automobile's speed or direction by sending electrical signals into the controller module. Know more about Takata airbags recall just by visiting this website.
The controller module, a little computer, receives these signs and, when appropriate, activates an explosive device from the airbag module, which divides the bags in over 200 mph. The elapsed time from the beginning of an accident to complete airbag installation is significantly less than one-tenth of a moment.
They have been developed to protect the driver at a front end accident. The concept was that when the detector could determine an accident occasion out of a sudden change in speed, and when the control module may send a setup sign.

WS: Challenging concepts of broken and unnatural narratives
Andrea Zueger
"Broken" and "unnatural" — these two characterisations of narratives have recently begun to appear together frequently in the field of narratologies (Nielsen 2016; Iversen 2013). While both broken and unnatural narratives subvert and challenge traditional forms of narration, the theories behind point at different aspects. Unnatural narratives confront us with "physically, logically, or humanly impossible scenarios or events" (Alber 2013), whereas "broken narratives are a very natural phenomenon indeed", as Nünning (2016) states. Iversen presents yet another take, suggesting that "rather than talking about the unnatural narrative as a certain type of fictional narrative, an autonomous innovative or experimental text, we might consider talking pragmatically about the unnatural as a rhetorical device, defined in relation to existing processes of sense-making, rather than in relation to existing texts or poetics" (Iversen 2017). But are these theories mutually exclusive at all? What do they have in common and where are the differences? How can we apply these concepts and possibly bring them together in a fruitful way?
In our workshop, we invite participants to present case studies they are currently working on in the realm of broken and/or unnatural narratives. We would like to critically discuss questions pertaining to the following subjects: Are there narratives which are broken and unnatural at the same time? Where do broken and unnatural narratives evolve? Where, when, why and how do narratives break? Is there a proliferation of unnatural narratives in contemporary literature and if yes – why could that be? Where are brokenness and unnaturalness located – in the events, the characters, narrators, in the discourse, the reception process? How do we come to terms with these narratives? Which effects and functions does the assumption of a broken or unnatural narrative entail? What are their normative dimensions? Why do we still understand broken and unnatural narratives? Discussing these questions together should lead to the broader question of where the similarities and the differences in the forms, functions and theories of broken and unnatural narratives are. There is also room to critically investigate the affordances and limits of these theories.
The GCSC Research Area "Cultural Narratologies" is excited to be able to invite (post-)doctoral researchers from various disciplines to a two-day intensive workshop on the topic of broken and unnatural narrations. We are going to explore the theory behind these concepts and apply them to ongoing research in the study of literature and culture. The aim of this course is to examine the forms, mechanisms and aesthetics of fictional/factual broken and unnatural narratives in and between the respective realms, deepen and broaden the understanding and challenge the concepts. The workshop is designed as a forum to read and discuss theoretical texts, to get input and to present current work in the field to peer doctoral researchers and senior narratologists. We are delighted to have cast together three experts theorising broken and unnatural narratives who are eager to work with early career researchers in the field.
The workshop offers (post-)doctoral researchers the opportunity to present their problems and questions within the approach of broken and unnatural narratives in a small interdisciplinary group of peers and selected experts. The intense reading retreat with key texts on the topic of broken narratives and unnatural narratives as well as the keynote lecture and the masterclass on broken narratives held by Prof. Stefan Iversen will deepen the participant's knowledge in the respective field. Furthermore, the participants are invited to make use of the specialised consultations by Prof. Ansgar Nünning and Prof. Jan Alber (10 minute slots). With this highly individualised offer, we would like to give participants the chance to discuss questions and problems with some of the most important representatives in the research field of broken and unnatural narratives. Finally, the workshop will be a platform for networking and interchange both formally and informally.
For the presentations, we ask applicants to focus on a specific problem in connection with broken and/or unnatural narratives that they encounter in a current project. Presenters get the opportunity to introduce their case in 5 minutes slots with subsequent discussions of 10 minutes.
We ask applicants to hand in abstracts of no more than 200 words about the case of broken or unnatural narratives that they would like to present in the colloquium. Please send your abstract to all of the organisers ann.m.riesner@gcsc.uni-giessen.de, susanne.k.christ@gcsc.uni-giessen.de and andrea.zueger@gcsc.uni-giessen.de no later than October 17, 2017. Please do also include your institutional affiliation, e-mail, and a 100-word bio. We will notify you of acceptance on October 23, 2017.
Invited Scholars:
Jan Alber is Professor at the English Department at the University of Aachen. He has published several books and articles within the field of unnatural narratives, for example "Unnatural Narrative: Impossible Worlds in Fiction and Drama. Frontiers of Narrative"(2016). His research interests include the history of English literature from the Middle Ages to today, narrative theory, unnatural or impossible narratives, Postmodernism (prose and drama), prison narratives, Charles Dickens, Romantic poetry and Aborigines and Australian Culture. Prof. Alber is president of the International Society for the Study of Narrative.
Stefan Iversen is Associate Professor at the Department for Aesthetics and Communication at Aarhus University in Denmark. His research concerns in unnatural narratives, broken narratives, early modernism, narrative rhetoric, and the literature of testimony. Prof. Iversen leads the annually Ph.D.-summer school Summer course in Narrative Studies in Denmark. He has published and co-edited several books and article in the broad field of narratologies such as "Strange Voice in Narrative Fiction" (2011). His current research project focuses on interacting narratives in political rhetoric.
Ansgar Nünning is Professor of English and American Literature and Cultural Studies at the University of Gießen. He is the founding director of the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC). Nünning has published widely on English and American literature, narratology, cultures of memory and literary and cultural theory. His article "Conceptualizing 'Broken Narratives' from a Narratological Perspective" (2016) together with Vera Nünning, is a substantive contribution to the conceptualisation of broken narratives.

Learn 3 ways to help slow the effects of Alzheimer's disease.
November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. This chronic condition is a huge crisis in our society today. Over 5.7 million Americans are living with this condition. It's crazy to think that, without warning, you could be the next person diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Learn more about Alzheimer's disease and possible preventions by reading ahead.
Memory loss can be the first clear symptom of Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. This chronic condition affects the brain in such a way that it can impair your problem-solving skills and also make it hard for you to understand simple things. While the majority of those suffering from Alzheimer's are over age 50, there are many bad habits that can accelerate this condition as you age.
The first risk factor is having a family history of Alzheimer's disease or other conditions that damage the heart and blood vessels. These conditions include heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. In addition to that – smoking, alcohol, and obesity are all huge factors in speeding up the effects of Alzheimer's disease. If it continues developing, it can lead to blood clots that in many cases can be fatal.
Through modern medicine, we now have treatments that slow the effects of Alzheimer's, but we still have yet to find a cure. However, the good news is that there are several natural ways to help maintain healthy cognitive function.
Exercise: One way of fighting and reducing your risk against Alzheimer's disease is by being physically active. Regular exercise has been found to have a direct correlation with lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Nutrition and Supplements: There are many great vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in foods that help support brain health and provide memory support. For example, berries, especially cherries, have anti-inflammatory properties and also contain high amounts of powerful antioxidants.
Eating the right diet, all the time, can sometimes be challenging, so taking nutritional supplements can help fill the gaps – even when you may not be eating right. Many people use supplements for supporting overall brain health and that help give them a clear mind. For example, try Mental Clarity to support a healthy mind. Also search for brain health support supplements from natural health brands such as Banyan Botanicals, Metagenics, Thorne Research, and Garden of Life.
Brain Games: A third, easy way to stay mentally sharp and alert is by playing brain games. Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and memory games can all help maintain the healthy function of your brain during aging.

Justin Amash Trashes President Trump to CNN, Urges Nancy Pelosi to Start Impeachment Hearings
Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) is reveling in publicity from the fake news media after abandoning his party and his constituents by leaving the Republican Party. During an interview by Jake Tapper on Sunday, Amash continued his push to impeach President Donald Trump.
"I do believe there's a strong case," Amash said to Tapper about impeachment. "I believe she believes there's a strong case. And, if so, she should move forward and make sure that the American people understand what's going on, because people at home aren't reading the Mueller report."
FBI spook Robert Mueller said in his report that there was no concrete evidence showing that Trump worked with the Russians to influence the results of the 2016 presidential election. Amash is pushing to impeach Trump despite the fact that he was exonerated.
"Most people don't have time to read a 448-page report,"Amash said. "They expect their members of Congress to do the work for them. They want Speaker Pelosi to do the work. They want other members to do the work. And if she doesn't want to go forward, then we're going to have a big problem."
Amash also urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. He is working alongside radical socialists like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to agitate for impeachment.
"From a principled, moral position, she's making a mistake. From a strategic position, she's making a mistake," Amash said. "If she believes, as I do, that there's impeachable conduct in there, then she should say so. She should tell the American people, we're going to move forward with impeachment hearings and potentially articles of impeachment."
"When she says things like, 'Oh, I think that we need to have the strongest case before we go forward,' what she's telling the American people is, she doesn't think there's a strong case. If she doesn't think that, then she shouldn't open her mouth in the first place and say she thinks there's impeachable conduct," he added.
Amash left the Republican Party on July 4th, choosing to become an independent after making the announcement in an op/ed published by the globalist Washington Post. He was basically forced out of the GOP though, as he was getting crushed in the polls by his primary challengers.
Pushed by the mainstream media and neocons 'Never Trumpers' like Bill Kristol, Amash will try to keep his Congressional seat in 2020 if he does not decide to run for President in an attempt to peel off some of Trump's support in a key battleground state.

Is Your Bike Road Ready?
If your motorcycle has been gathering dust in your shed, there are things that you must do before you take that first ride again.
One of the first things you should do is to make sure your bike is prepped properly. If it's been a really long time, consider taking it to a motorcycle mechanic to ensure everything is in working order and that it's safe and roadworthy.
Check battery terminals (clean, if necessary, with baking soda and water). Dry, or apply an after wash product (there are several available) then dry.
Check, charge, or install the battery (positive lead first).
Check oil and other lubricants. Change the oil filter if necessary.
Check all cables and lube with appropriate lubricants.
Check tyre pressure and wear. Top up each tyre to the correct pressure.
Check all lights and replace any globes if required.
Check brake fluid level, and pads/shoes for wear. If the pads seem a bit thin, replace them.
Apply leather treatment where applicable.
Check drive belt, chain, or shaft.
Clean any glass, reflectors and mirrors.
Clean inside of helmet with mild soap then leave in a warm place to dry.
Give your ride an all over clean to get rid of any old road grime and rust spots.
Polish and wax all chrome and painted parts.
You'll also need to take a look at your number plates. They must be easy to read, clean, unworn and undamaged.
Finally, check that your registration is up to date. There are severe penalties for riding an unregistered motorcycle because compulsory third party insurance is not valid when a motorcycle is unregistered. This means that you could be held personally liable for compensation to any person injured as a result of a crash.

Strong dollar good for US, bad for world: NYT
08:08, September 30, 2022
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve's determination to crush inflation at home by raising interest rates is inflicting profound pain in other countries, pushing up prices, ballooning the size of debt payments and increasing the risk of a deep recession, reported The New York Times (NYT) on Monday.
"Those interest rate increases are pumping up the value of the dollar -- the go-to currency for much of the world's trade and transactions -- and causing economic turmoil in both rich and poor nations," said the report.
"For the rest of the world, it's a no-win situation," said Eswar Prasad, an economics professor at Cornell and author of several books on currencies.
At the same time, he said, the Fed has no choice but to act aggressively to control inflation. "Any delay in action could make things potentially even worse," he added.
"Policy decisions made in Washington frequently reverberate widely," said the report, noting that the United States is a superpower with the world's largest economy and hefty reserves of oil and natural gas, and "when it comes to global finance and trade, though, its influence is outsize."

KOKOMO - What have we been up to?
KOKOMO - Band to the Stars!!
On January 9, 2016 we played a party for the family of actor Paul Rudd pictured here with our bassist Jeff, guitarist Kevin and singers Kirsten and Emmett. Great family & friends! And what a party!!
We play really great wedding receptions and one of the most memorable and notable ones ever was on September 27, 2014 at Kansas City Country Club where superstar Sheryl Crow was a guest artist with KOKOMO!
To see more about this incredible evening click here.
When John Travota came to town to support the Airline History Museum at the Downtown Airport, KOKOMO played the party. The premier, once in a lifetime auction item that night was one dance with Travolta (the iconic dancer of a generation) and it went to one fortunate patron for a whopping $26,000 bid. They danced to "Come Fly With Me" as Travota is also a pilot and an avid aviation enthusiast.

Pablo Godoy addresses the attendees of "a night to remember" - a fundraiser for the migrant workers killed on Feb. 6th, 2012.
Over the past several weekends community members, organizations, and unions alike have come together to raise funds for the 14 people injured in the crash that killed 10 migrant workers in Hampstead, Ontario on February 6, 2012. To date, the Migrant Worker Family Support Fund has surpassed the $120,000 mark thanks in part to generous donations made at events organized by community leaders and organizations.
Renison College, in Waterloo, was the site of one of the first fundraising initiatives. The event was organized by students and faculty at Renison College, who responded quickly by hosting a memorial and fundraiser one week after the accident. For the college's faculty and students, the accident brought to light the increased need of the community to take an active role in fighting for migrant worker justice.
Also recently, the San Lorenzo Community Center, the Center for Spanish Speaking Peoples (CSSP) has played a key role in a couple of outstanding fundraising events. The first, an afternoon filled with great food, cultural performances, and a community discussion on what can be done to ensure that a tragedy like this does not occur again, raised almost $2,000. The successful event was accompanied by a vigil held at the San Lorenzo Church, where community members gathered to raise awareness and pay their respects to the people who were killed or injured in the tragedy.

Breaking: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Ending Their 6-Year Marriage
Kim is said to file divorce papers soon.
Maggie Kreienberg
Maggie Kreienberg is an associate editor at Brides.
Updated 01/07/21 03:12PM EST
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are undoubtedly one of the world's most influential and most powerful celebrity couples—although as of January 5, 2021, their 6-year marriage is coming to an end. Page Six was the first to break the news after several sources confirmed the couple is "done."
But, despite calling it quits in 2021, their love story was quite eventful. From their envious Italian wedding to the birth of their four children, here is everything you need to know about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's relationship—including all the details on their impending divorce.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West first met in the early 2000s, but didn't become official friends until 2008.
The couple began dating in 2011 and welcomed a daughter, North West, in June 2013. In May 2014, they tied the knot.
Since their wedding, Kim and Kanye have welcomed three more children and currently reside in Los Angeles, California.
On January 5, 2021, news broke that Kim and Kanye are ending their marriage.
2003: Meeting On Set
Long before Kim was a reality television star, the California native met Kanye on the set of a Brandy music video. Kim recounted the moment during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians 10th-anniversary special in 2017, saying, "I met him, I think, in 2002 or 2003. He was recording a song with Brandy, and I was her friend. I vividly remember hanging out with him, and then they did a video together, so I'd see him a few times. He was asking his friends, 'Who is this Kim Kardajan?' He didn't know what my name was."
2008: The First Connection
While they did meet years earlier, their friendship didn't solidify until 2008 when they worked on a television pilot together. "We worked together on a pilot for a show called Alligator Boots back in 2008 and I played Princess Leia," wrote the Kim on her website, per Us Weekly. "We had met before this project (back in 2003), but I would say this is when we first really connected. These pics are SO funny!"
2010: Kanye's Keeping Up Debut
Kanye made his KUWTK debut during the premiere episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York in 2010. He visited Kim and her sister Kourtney Kardashian's new store and Kim told the camera, "Kanye and I have been good friends for a long time. He's someone that we definitely respect his fashion taste and his style and so we wanted him to check out the store." Little did she know how much of an impact her future husband would have on her fashion style down the road!
August 20, 2011: A Different Marriage
On August 20, 2011, Kim married her then-fiancé Kris Humphries—and Kanye even bought a cellphone to try and stop the marriage. "I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries," Kanye recalled on Kocktails with Khloé. "I started sending her pictures of, like, certain basketball players that used to be cool that now they wear their pants all the way up to here. Like, 'This is your future.'"
October 2011: Reconnecting in Paris
But Kim's marriage to Humphries was short-lived, and the couple infamously called it quits just 72 days after saying "I do." The break-up prompted Kanye to invite Kim to his fashion show in Paris. "After my breakup, I was feeling really low and down and he said, 'Just come to Paris and see my fashion show,'" shared Kim on the KUWTK anniversary special. "He jokes that he put on this whole fashion show just to get a date with me. So I went there and I stayed with him, and that's where we started dating. I swear from the moment I landed, I fell madly in love with him and I thought, 'Oh my god, why didn't I do this sooner?' Like, this is what real life is like—love and fun and real support."
April 17, 2012: A Love Song For Kim
Kanye publicly professed his love for Kim in the spring of 2012 when he released his song, "Cold." In the track, he references the reality television mogul with lyrics like "And I'll admit, I had fell in love with Kim/Around the same time she had fell in love with him/Well that's cool, baby girl, do ya thang/Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team." The last line was in reference to Kim's ex-husband who played for the Brooklyn Nets at the time, which was owned by rapper Jay Z.
December 30, 2012: They're Pregnant!
During a performance in Atlantic City, Kanye confirmed the couple was pregnant with their first child by referring to Kim as his "baby mama" on stage. "Stop the music and make noise for my baby mama," he shouted to the crowd.
May 6, 2013: Kim's First Met Gala
At eight months pregnant, Kim walked the Met Gala red carpet for the first time as Kanye's plus-one. She wore a high-neck floral Givenchy gown and became the subject of many memes. "I was crying, like, the whole way home because I just couldn't believe it. There were all these memes about me and this couch," she later recalled.
June 15, 2013: Introducing North West
The couple officially became parents on June 15, 2013, when their first daughter, North West, was born.
October 21, 2013: An Epic Engagement
In what might go down as one of the most memorable celebrity proposals in history, Kanye popped the question on Kim's 33rd birthday. He rented out the San Francisco Giants' baseball stadium, hired an orchestra and wrote "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!" on the jumbotron. He proposed with an $8 million dollar cushion-cut diamond set on a diamond pavé band. Following the engagement, Kim was then surprised by her family and friends who witnessed the moment from the dugouts.
April 1, 2014: The Controversial Vogue Cover
In what was then a controversial move, Kim and Kanye landed the cover of Vogue's April 2014 issue. With Kim posing in a strapless bridal gown, the cover was published just one month before the pair would tie the knot.
May 24, 2014: A European Wedding Weekend
Courtesy of E!
Kim and Kanye's wedding weekend began in Paris, where they had luncheon at Valentino's French chateau and a rehearsal dinner in Versailles. However, on the morning of their wedding, the couple flew their guests to Florence, Italy where they said "I do" at Fort di Belvedere. Florence was reportedly the destination where their daughter North was conceived, making it a sentimental spot to get married. Did we mention their entire nuptials cost an estimated $2.8 million? No wonder why we dubbed it one of the most influential weddings of the decade!
December 5, 2015: Their First Son Saint
A year-and-a-half after their wedding, Kim and Kanye welcomed their first son on December 5, 2015, and named him Saint West.
Fall 2016: A Tumultuous Time
In October 2016, Kim was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room during fashion week (the culprits stole millions of dollars worth of jewels, including her diamond engagement ring). Not long after, Kanye was hospitalized for exhaustion. During this tumultuous time, the couple took a break from public life to focus on their family.
December 25, 2017: The Ultimate Christmas Present
For their fourth Christmas as husband and wife, Kanye gifted Kim items from Adidas, Amazon, Apple, Disney and Netflix as well as stock for each company. The thoughtful present prompted Kim to call Kanye the "best husband ever" on Instagram.
January 15, 2018: A Daughter Via Surrogate
Kim and Kanye welcomed their third child via surrogate on January 15, 2018. They named the baby girl Chicago in honor of Kanye's hometown.
May 10, 2019: Welcoming Another Son
The couple used another surrogate for their fourth child and second son, Psalm, who was born on May 10, 2019.
January 5, 2021: A Rumored Divorce
Although the power couple hasn't officially filed for divorce, several sources have confirmed that Kim and Kanye are ending their marriage after nearly seven years. Page Six was the first to break the news, which has since taken over the internet. "They are keeping it low-key but they are done. Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks," a source told the publication, revealing that the couple was supposedly living separate lives in recent months. "She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile, Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s–t, and she's just had enough of it."
While the rapper, the reality star and the rest of the Kardashian crew are silent on the news, we expect more to come from the A-listers in the coming days.
Winter 2021: Kim Kardashian's Wedding Band
After the alleged divorce news broke, the whereabouts of Kim Kardashian's wedding band came into question. Photos surfaced of Kim wearing the ring just the day before (Jan. 4) divorce news broke, however, in several of Kim's Instagram pics from the weeks leading up to the shocking news, the ring is MIA. Multiple news outlets speculate what disappearance and re-appearance of her wedding band could mean for her marriage with Kanye West.

making a difference since 1994
In 2014 Renaissance Sackville celebrated 20 years of community support
Renaissance Sackville's vision
Sackville will be a vibrant, economically and environmentally responsible, aesthetically pleasing, caring, friendly and gracious community.
Renaissance Sackville is an organization sponsored by the Town of Sackville. Its focus is the community development of Sackville and it offers modest seed funding and limited administrative support to new community initiatives whose purpose supports the Renaissance vision.
The projects that Renaissance sponsors or instigates rely heavily on volunteers and the hours of hard work that they contribute every year: we would not achieve much without them!
We care about Sackville and the well-being of the community
We foster a sense of pride and spirit in the community
We support and foster community development that is in line with Renaissance's vision
We foster community involvement in projects that benefit the community
We are involved in strategic planning in the community
We foster and enhance the greening of the community
We support and promote community events and activities
We support the marketing of Sackville as a great community to visit and to live in
To support and promote the Town's plans for community development of the Sackville area
To maintain a structure for Renaissance that allows for vision development, planning and action in all areas of community development
To support and become involved in community group's efforts which align with Renaissance Sackville's vision
To seek funding and manage budget to implement plans
To lobby Municipal, Provincial and Federal Government for support and/or funding for community development
To maintain a wide range of external partnerships, which will allow us to work effectively with other community groups, avoid duplication, and expand our resources
To encourage community spirit in all residents, inspiring involvement in planning, decision-making, and projects that benefit the community
To acquire by purchase, gift, bequest or otherwise real and personal property and to sell, mortgage, lease and otherwise deal with the same; and to hold all property and income arising therefore and acquired by purchase, gift, bequest or otherwise in trust for the objects and purposes for which the company is incorporated
To make such by-laws, rules and regulations as it may see fit concerning the management of its affairs, the choice of duties and powers of the Directors and officers, the admission and expulsion of members and generally for the administration and management of its affairs, and to alter and repeal all or any of such by-laws, rules and regulations form time to time, and also to delegate to its Board of Directors all or any of the powers of passing, altering and repealing such by-laws, rules and regulations

To do all such other things as may seem directly or indirectly to be incidental to or conducive to or convenient or proper for the attainment of the objects hereinbefore mentioned, and to be subject to all the powers as set forth in subsection 18(2) of the Companies Act
Renaissance Sackville evolved from a workshop event held in 1994, with about 50 people, including townspeople, businesses, university, and representatives from the town office and the provincial economic development office. Renaissance began with the blessing of all from the beginning – goals were to work for the benefit of the community in an effort to counter the effects of important employers such as Atlantic Wholesalers and the Federal Government moving out of Sackville. The first board was comprised of 15 citizens. By-laws were drawn up and Renaissance Sackville was incorporated. The Town provided funding for support staff, office, administration and a marketing plan.
Nearly 20 years later, the effects of Renaissance can be seen with the addition of Tourism and Economic Development departments in the municipal offices, and a legacy of non-profit organizations which got their start as Renaissance Sackville committees: Tantramar Heritage Trust, Tantramar Family Resource Centre, Tantramar Hospice Pallatice Care, and many more.
The current Board of Directors includes:
Kate Bredin, Chair
April MacKinnon, Vice-chair
Carolyn Bembridge, Treasurer
Melody Petlock, Member-at-large
Sam Bliss, Member-at-large
Chris Harborne, Member-at-large

To Travel or to Work? Maybe We Can Have Both
By Kelly Martin, Toppel Peer Advisor
Four years ago as a senior in high school going through the college application process I heard the same question over and over- where are you going to school next year? Now as a second semester senior in college, I hear a similar question repeated constantly- where are you working after graduation? When I was applying to colleges, at least I could give a list of the schools I had applied to or the schools I was deciding between. But now that the real world is just around the corner in May, I don't really have a bunch of options I can list off to satisfy people's questions. While some of my friends are lucky enough to know where they'll be going post graduation, it seems a large majority of us don't, and it's a constant source of stress among us because of course after you graduate, you have to immediately figure out your life and get a job… right?
While studying abroad in Sydney, Australia, I met countless Europeans around my age, who were travelling for a year after graduating from college, or "uni" as they call it. And what struck me about this was that this was apparently completely normal, and they also said that there were always Australian students travelling all over Europe for the year after their graduation. Americans are somewhat notorious for not venturing outside of our borders- only 30% of our population have passports, compared to Canada's 60% and the UK's 75%- and that stems from a lot of different things. But this experience abroad really opened my eyes to how different our view of the way we "should" live our life is compared to many other places in the world.
While it's common, and realistically somewhat encouraged, to travel for a gap year either before or after university in other countries, in the United States it's often looked down upon. One of my best friends in high school took a gap year before starting college, and she received a lot of skeptical questions and comments about it, but ultimately it was one of the best things she's ever done. In a world that is unbelievably interconnected and only becoming increasingly so, you'd think we would encourage young people to travel more. Arguably just in my 4.5 months living abroad, I learned more things about myself and life in general than I did in the previous 4 semesters of college. Travelling abroad you learn so many life skills- meeting new people, facing unexpected challenges, adapting to new environments and cultures- all of which are realistically incredibly important life skills, even for the workplace.
So I'm not saying we should all just drop everything and go travel (though I wish I could). But maybe soon to be graduates like myself shouldn't be putting so much pressure on ourselves to figure everything out before that looming graduation date in May. The rest of the world seems to have figured out that a little bit of exploring can ultimately help you become a more well rounded person, more focused, and ready for a job, so maybe we should follow their example.
