Interview with Conductor Milen Nachev
“WHATEVER I’M CONDUCTING RIGHT NOW IS MY FAVORITE MUSIC,” SAYS SHEN YUN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR
Conductor Milen Nachev’s storied career has taken him from home piano lessons in Bulgaria to mentorship with the most renowned teachers of the day in Russia to the United States and Carnegie Hall. And it is here in New York, with Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, that he has found a new home, new gratification, and even a sense of destiny.
This fall he will be part of Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra's grandest tour yet, spanning 18 cities, including debuts in Japan and Taiwan, as well as a return to Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In the middle of the symphony orchestra's busy rehearsal season, we sat down with the conductor for his most revealing interview yet.
Q: Mr. Nachev, could you tell us about your very first encounter with music?
MN: I remember this moment. It was when my grandmother took me to my first piano lesson. And I believe this first encounter with music changed my life completely—forever. I was only 5 years old and deeply in love with my piano teacher. She gave me a lot confidence. So, one year later I was playing a children’s album by Béla Bartók and she sent me to a national competition as a pianist, which I won in my age group. And the same year was my first public performance as a pianist. Of course, it was in front of family and friends—but it was a real audience, and the intensity of performance was the same.
Q: When did you then choose to make music a career?
MN: A few years later, at the age of 9, I found incredible pleasure conducting Brahms Symphony Number 4 at home—I was conducting one of those black vinyl records. I conducted by memory, as I had never seen the music score, but the physical contact between the music and the gestures was something that was extremely inspiring for me.
At the music school, I learned piano and choral conducting. And I was extremely lucky to have the best teachers at the time—teachers who not only taught me music, but were life examples for me as musicians and people. One of them, Professor Vasil Arnaudov, probably one of the most famous choir conductors in Bulgaria, was the main reason I kept studying in St. Petersburg Conservatory, because he did everything he could to promote me and send me there.
There I had a chance to study with an incredible man, Professor Ilya Musin—a professor who educated Yuri Temirkanov, Valery Gergiev, and many, many famous conductors. This was a teacher who could not only teach the technique and develop natural feelings about how to communicate with the orchestra through your gestures, but he was capable of teaching many things around the profession of conductor, to develop a complete personality and a complete musician—theoretically and practically. Every day, he gave us lessons about the way we should communicate with the orchestra, how we should rehearse with the orchestra, how to improve the orchestra within a very limited period of time, and to make them believe in their own capabilities. He wasn’t only my conducting teacher; he was my second father.
Q: With this background and education, followed by decades of experience conducting different orchestras, what do you think makes for an excellent conductor?
MN: Dealing with the complexity. You need to be not only extremely well prepared musically and theoretically, you also have to be extremely well prepared with the history of music and knowledge about the capacity of every instrument in the orchestra. But the most important thing is that you have to be a psychologist. Our work is not with instruments—we are working with people who are playing instruments. When you realize this major point, the entire attitude changes and your only desire is to get appreciation from the people sitting in front of you and to see in their eyes that your behavior on the podium is a source of inspiration for them, making them eager to give their very, very best on stage. That’s the biggest satisfaction a conductor can receive. And working with the Shen Yun orchestra I have incredible moments of that. I can see the inspiration. I can feel it existing in the air around us.
Q: The musicians of Shen Yun practice Falun Dafa meditation and follow the practice’s spiritual teachings in their daily lives. How does this relate to the music you are creating and performing?
MN: Being in the environment of spiritual cultivation helps a lot. We are literally living together, studying together, developing ourselves together, we are meditating together—and this creates positive energy all around us. I have no doubt that this positive energy helps a lot when we go on stage.
Q: From reading reviews, it seems that audience members do often comment about how they were surprised by the music's energy.
MN: There is a saying: “Music starts where words end.” If I were to compare our Shen Yun orchestra with other orchestras, I would say that in Shen Yun we are not just performing music, playing notes and tunes. We go deep inside the meaning of the music, even past the emotional side—most orchestras go to the emotional side, but we go beyond that—to illustrate the deeper meaning. It’s like a secret code inside the musical text that we bring out to the audience. It’s not necessary for them to understand the secret code, but the effect and the resonance is there.
And so, in many reviews of our performances, you see people from the audience say they cried but they don’t know why. Or they say they feel uplifted, but they don’t know why. I would say what most accounts for this is the idea that through meditation and personal development and personal improvement, we are capable of communicating with the audience not only through the surface of the music, but at a deeper layer of inner meaning.
Q: You are working with musicians from around the world. What brings them together?
MN: We have musicians from Australia, Asia, Europe, America—and these are, of course, top-quality instrumentalists and high-level professionals. It's really interesting working with people from countries that have huge musical traditions like Germany, Italy, or Spain, but the power of the music and the spiritual environment brings us together and makes us join our efforts.
The musicians here definitely work better together than in any other orchestra that I have seen. The main reason is that we realize there is a deep meaning behind what we are doing.
I actually feel extremely proud to participate in Shen Yun. For me, personally, the ideas of Falun Dafa corresponded with my point of view on life, and my views as a human being and an artist. And artistically, too, the reason I’m proud is that, in a way, what we are doing with reviving traditional Chinese culture—and this includes the music—is almost like our response to the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s in China. Back then, not only traditional Chinese culture was almost completely destroyed, but also many of my favorite classical Western composers, poets, novelists, painters were destroyed—literally, their works were destroyed. I call this a crime against humanity. The world’s multi-century artistic heritage destroyed in just a few short years.
Q: With your education in the classical Western tradition and your Eastern European background, how do you go about interpreting Shen Yun’s Chinese themes?
MN: First of all, we know that music is an international language. And second, this is an issue in interpreting all kinds of music—I’ve had to develop my musical intuition for many, many years working with different styles, with different pieces by different composers from different countries who lived in different centuries. All of that developed my musical intuition.
I also try to become more familiar with the folk side of Chinese music, to understand better the capacity and capability of Chinese instruments like erhu, pipa, suona, etc. And with this universal language, once the door of your consciousness is open, you can easily find the right tempo, the right articulation, and the right phrasing. Of course, I have friends and colleagues working with me—we have many discussions with composers and choreographers—and so I’m learning at the same time that I’m trying to give my knowledge to them. It’s a two-way process.
Q: Could you give us an example of how this plays out?
MN: Two days ago we rehearsed a piece for three erhu solos accompanied by the symphony orchestra. During the process, without words, just watching the eyes of the three soloists, I already knew what they needed—what kind of tempo they needed, what kind of support they needed, how we could together develop the phrase—and my feeling was that they also implicitly understood. When I desired to start the phrase from one point and bring the phrase to the arrival point, they were completely with me—without one word between us.
Q: So it’s a communication that’s far beyond language?
MN: Absolutely. A different level of communication.
Q: What are some of the rewarding moments in that exchange?
MN: There are many moments which I can call rewarding. One of them is what we just talked about, the moment of full, mutual understanding between me and the orchestra. This spiritual exchange and communication between us is something transcendental, beyond words. The appreciation that I see in the eyes of the composers after performing their piece is another satisfactory moment. But, I mostly feel rewarded, and feel gratitude, for the destiny that gives me the opportunity to work with a multinational orchestra and have the chance to share with them my point of view.
Q: What do you think is this sense of destiny?
MN: I think it’s this feeling that you find your own place, and when you feel comfortable and appreciated. That’s my feeling—that I found my place. Even looking back—of course I had the opportunity to stay in Europe and lead one of the European orchestras, that was not a problem—but I wanted to prove myself in a completely different situation. When I arrived in the United States not so many people knew about me, about my recordings or my previous experience. So I had to start from scratch and had to wait for many years to receive this opportunity. And when I realized that this is not only a professional development but it’s in deep harmony with my soul and what I feel about the world, I said: “Wow, you found your place. Now the only thing that’s left is to do your job the best possible way.”
Q: Is there any piece in particular that you look forward to sharing with the audience this coming concert tour?
MN: For me, every one of the pieces in the program is associated with different kinds of memories, because we performed almost all those pieces with our dance company around the globe. Each piece is particularly close to my heart—and not only because I conducted 119 performances last season. People ask me: “What’s your favorite music?” Whatever I’m conducting right now is my favorite music. The music that I’ll be conducting next year will be my favorite music then. So this is a very special sort of relationship.
Q: When people come to see Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra, what do you think will strike them most about the music?
MN: I honestly believe that they will be surprised by the sound coming from the stage. The sound will be extremely unique because of the combination of Western and Eastern instruments. We are working so hard to achieve the best possible ensemble, it’s really very tough work that we are doing, but our desire is to be known for our ensemble. Also, we are working a lot on the balance of different groups of instruments. We always want to make the melody extremely transparent. At the same time, we want every single detail inside the score to be so clear and articulate that we’ll bring a different spectrum of colors behind the melody. So we’re working in many dimensions. If you take a look at the conductor’s score, not only vertically—like harmony, balance, orchestration—but also horizontally, we are using every single way to make the music more impressive, to create a really serious impact for our audience. We want to give the audience not only emotional pleasure, but the experience of discovering a completely different world behind the music.

Carrying a minimum amount of auto insurance is required by state laws, so you can’t legally drive without it. Yet while the minimum amount keeps your premiums lower, it can also put you at great risk if you have an accident. And after an accident is not the time to find out you’re underinsured.
When considering the amount and type of coverage you need, remember that numbers can be deceiving. For instance, carrying $100,000 of liability coverage may sound like a lot, and it is. But even that much likely won’t cover medical costs if you’re involved in an accident that causes serious injury, especially if multiple people are involved. When you consider medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, emotional distress, and residual pain and scarring, $100,000 doesn’t go very far. And without enough insurance, you would be required to pay the difference between your liability limits and actual costs of an accident.
The following are some important things to consider when shopping for auto insurance.
Cost isn’t everything. Don’t approach auto coverage like a commodity in which cost is the only factor. The amount you carry should be based on your lifestyle, earnings, how much and where you drive, your overall risk exposure, and other factors.
Personalize your search. We strongly suggest talking with an independent insurance agent about your personal risk exposure. This helps ensure you get the most appropriate coverage for your life and your budget, and it gives you a chance to ask an agent specific questions.
Physical damage vs. liability. Physical damage coverage helps pay for repairs to your car following an accident or loss. Comprehensive physical damage coverage goes even further by covering damage to your vehicle that does not result from a car accident, such as if a tree falls on it. Liability coverage pays medical bills and property damage you may be held responsible for if you cause an accident that injures another person or damages their property.
When deciding which option is best for you, consider your budget, financial assets, and risk exposure and select the highest limits you can afford. This helps reduce your risk of having to pay for any costs above your limits in case of accident or liability.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage. Some states require drivers to have uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to pay damages you are entitled to if damages exceed the at-fault driver’s limits. Even if it is not required where you live, adding it to your policy can maximize your protection for a relatively low cost.
Understanding different policy options can help you get the best combination of coverage, value, and cost. The following are a few common, and valuable, options to consider.
Loan/lease gap coverage. With this optional coverage, if the unpaid loan or lease amount exceeds the value of your car after an accident, your insurance policy will help cover the unpaid amount on the loan or lease minus what your car is actually worth today. If you were in an accident without this coverage, you would be responsible for the difference between the actual cash value and the unpaid loan balance.
New car replacement. If you have a new car, you may not have enough coverage to get an equivalent vehicle if your new car is totaled. New car replacement coverage will pay either the purchase price to replace the vehicle, the cost of a similar new vehicle, or the market value of the vehicle.
Roadside assistance and emergency expenses. Having roadside assistance and emergency expense coverages ensures you can get a tow truck, battery jump-start, tire changes, or even labor should your car break down. Emergency assistance can cover transportation, lodging, and personal property coverage. Much better than being stuck on the side of the road!
Pet coverage. We understand that pets are family, too. Pet coverage will help pay for the veterinary expenses if your dog or cat is injured or killed in a collision.
Ask About Discounts
When talking with an independent agent or comparing insurance companies, be sure to ask about discounts. Some ways to save on your premiums include:
Maintain a safe driving record. Installing a device or app that tracks your miles, driving behavior, and the time of day you drive can all demonstrate that you are a safe driver and could result in a noticeable discount.
Own a home. You’ll save on premiums if you own your house.
Package your policies. You can get a discount when you bundle your home, auto, boat, motorcycle, or other policies with a single insurance company. Having just one bill is more convenient too.
Paid in full billing. By paying your bill at the start or renewal of the policy rather than monthly, you can reduce your premiums.

This story originally appeared in the April 5, 1965, issue of Sports Illustrated. Subscribe to the magazine here.
If, as many social psychologists contend, the invective of a hostile crowd is an expression of a literally murderous impulse, Arnold (Red) Auerbach, the coach of the Boston Celtics, who this month seek their seventh consecutive world professional basketball championship, is the most frequently and diabolically murdered man in America.
Elias Canetti, the Bulgarian-born author, might be describing Auerbach's tormentors when he deals with what he terms "the baiting crowd." Canetti writes in his Crowds and Power: "One important reason for the rapid growth of the baiting crowd is that there is no risk involved...because the crowd have immense superiority on their side. The victim can do nothing to them.... His permitted murder stands for all the murders people have to deny themselves for fear of the penalties for the perpetration. A murder shared with many others, which is not only safe and permitted, but indeed recommended, is irresistible to the great majority of men."
When Auerbach recently appeared on That Regis Philbin Show, a television program, he was visibly taken aback by the warm reception the studio audience accorded him. "How come the people applauded?" he asked Philbin. "It makes me feel uneasy." Away from the Boston Garden, in what Auerbach calls "hostile territory," basketball fans react to his presence in much the same way that sharks respond to even minute quantities of blood in the water. When Auerbach is introduced before a game he is invariably greeted with what has become known as a chorus of boos. Auerbach acknowledges these with a little, feckless wave. "What are you going to do?" he says. "A boo is a boo. Generally, you don't take the time to figure out what kind of a boo it is, whether it's a good-natured boo, for instance. It's a boo and the hell with it." When Auerbach wrathfully rises from the bench, a program rolled tightly in one hand, to take exception to an official's decision, the crowd becomes predictably frenzied, bloodthirsty and, in downtown Philadelphia, violent.
Auerbach never looks at his program. In 1946, when he started coaching professional basketball with the Washington Capitols, he found that after a game his knuckles were swollen from repeatedly pounding his fists, so he began using a program as a sort of pacifier. It has since become as much of a prop as the cigar he lights when he believes victory is assured—a ceremony that also inevitably enrages the fans.
• MORE NBA: Auerbach remembered through rare photos
"Years ago," says Auerbach, "when they [apparently the hierarchy of the National Basketball Association] were picking on me for a hundred different things, I tried to think of something to aggravate them. They were abusing me. I lighted a cigar all of a sudden. I got a note: 'It doesn't look good for you to smoke cigars on the bench.' I told them I'd stop when the other coaches stopped smoking cigarettes. By then I liked the idea, and the people from Blackstone wanted me to endorse their cigar. Some of the coaches got aggravated. They thought I was lording it over them. The cigar is a sign of relaxation. The cigarette is a sign of tension. I explained to them that it was an endorsement, that I get money and all the cigars I can smoke. That calmed them down. Why stop a guy from making a buck? However, the fans think this is a major thing."
When the Celtics are losing, there are always half a dozen creeps chanting monotonously: "Hey, Red, where's the cigar, skin head?" One day last month when Auerbach was in Burlington, Vt. to address the Ethan Allen Club, one of its members buttonholed him. "Remember me?" he said. "I'm the guy who took the cigar from your wife and handed it to you four minutes before the end of the sixth playoff game against St. Louis in 1958." Says Auerbach: "The image of this cigar is unbelievable. A guy in Quincy, Mass. won the $1,000 first prize from the Cigar Institute of America for a photograph of me blowing smoke."
In the past 19 years, the last 15 of which he has spent with the Celtics, Auerbach has been the object of more tangible indications of the crowd's displeasure than boos. He has been hit with everything from peanuts (aimed at his bald spot) to right hands to, on the infrequent occasions when he has retaliated, assault actions—what he refers to, almost fondly, as "my suits." Says Auerbach: "A lot of people feel a ticket gives them a license to berate you. A coach should have the right to be unmolested. It's murderous.
"Basketball is a game of high emotion," Auerbach says. "In my house I don't go around yelling, blowing my top, losing my temper. Home is a different world, a different game." Auerbach resents the suggestion that his irascibility is ever feigned. "It's all realistic," he says. "If this is an act, I'd be an actor, I wouldn't be a coach. You pick your spots to this extent: you must control yourself. If you yell all the time, no one listens. Some coaches started to imitate me, but they felt I did it all the time. Not so. They're getting smarter now. They're starting to pace themselves. It's not a technique. It's a reaction. That's why I can't eat before a game. It's a plain, physiological thing. After you eat, you sit down. What happens? You go to sleep. Who are the most dangerous people? Animals. A hungry tiger. Not a starving tiger, a hungry tiger."
Auerbach has fallen asleep on the bench, but not from satiety. Once, in 1949, when he was coaching Tri-Cities, he took Dramamine to avoid getting carsick en route to a game, and later found he was unable to keep his eyes open. "I didn't make any substitutions the whole first half," he recalls vaguely. Auerbach is very big on naps. He has learned that stewardesses are not. "Imagine waking someone out of a sound sleep to ask them if they want a pillow," he says.
Auerbach counts on his naps to keep him going. "I've never taken sleeping pills, vitamins or tranquilizers," he says. "I don't average one aspirin a month. Every once in a while I'll have a doctor check my blood pressure. By the time I walk from the bench to the locker room, I'm normal. People say to me, 'Why don't you go to Florida, relax, lie in the sun, get a little tan?' I can't relax. What do I need a tan for? I look good."
Auerbach usually eats delicatessen (Hebrew National is after him to endorse its hot dogs) or Chinese. He goes for chicken wings and oyster sauce, lobster in meat sauce and steamed fish with wine sauce and almonds. When Auerbach recently stated that Boston had better Chinese restaurants than San Francisco, he was blasted in the press. "For what I like," Auerbach insists. "I'm no Danny Kaye. The guy cooks Chinese food. What does he need? Special kitchens? The neighbors' permission? I don't have the time. Mostly I heat it." For a while Auerbach had a piece of a Chinese restaurant in Boston. "The joint was mismanaged," he says. Auerbach likes delicatessen when he is on the road. "You get tired of going out," he says, "sitting down, the soup, the meat, two vegetables." Auerbach does not eat eggs or drink coffee. For breakfast he may have a hot dog and the first of the 10 Cokes he consumes daily.
During the basketball season Auerbach lives in a corner suite on the ninth floor of the Hotel Lenox in Boston's Back Bay. His wife, Dorothy, his two girls, Nancy, 19, and Randy, 13, and his two boxers stay at home in Washington, D.C. "My family is very fortunate," Auerbach says. "They escape the brunt of the great many changes in my emotions." Over Auerbach's bed in the Lenox are two prints depicting an angelic boy and girl; the boy is wearing a sailor suit and holding a sailboat. "What pictures?" Auerbach says. "I don't even know they're there." By his bed is a carton full of Argyle socks. "I'm throwing them out," Auerbach says. "Willie Naulls [the Celtics' forward], my sartorial adviser, says they're out-of-date."
On his mantelpiece, alongside bottles of Chinese noodles and specimens from his collection of 500 letter openers, are jars of nuts. "I'm a great eater of nuts," Auerbach said the other day. "Dr. Paul Dudley White is also a great believer in nuts. We had a conversation in a plane once about our great affinities for nuts. At present I got the shorts. My pumpkin seeds are out. Just the other day I ran out of pistachios and Indian nuts. I got duplicates of these at home and away. All I have now is paper-thin almonds and sunflower seeds—what some people call polly seeds. For a change of pace, I sometimes buy some chiches. A lot of these things come salted and un-salted. I eat them unsalted. I also eat all kinds of candy. I just finished my last coconut-covered marshmallow."
Auerbach gets much of his candy from H. W. Powers, a company which makes most of the nation's fruit slices, and one of Auerbach's accounts. For the past 12 years Auerbach has been a salesman for Cellu-Craft, a flexible packaging concern that manufactures everything from Jell-O bags to Kool-Pop wrappers. "A long time ago I felt my entire income depended on basketball," Auerbach says. "This was a situation which could lead to overcoaching—being so obsessed with the job it takes you over—which is just as bad as undercoaching. I said to myself, I have two degrees [a B.S. in physical education and an M.A. in education from George Washington], but I'm a narrow man. I was at the mercy of other people. I was dealing in a game of touch—the ability to put a ball in a hole. Why should I bank everything on whether a guy has the touch on certain days? Let's be honest—I can't direct the flight of the ball." As Bill Russell, the captain of the Celtics, said in the Boston dressing room the other night, "Red can say he made you, but he can't put that ball in the hoop." "But I pay you," said Auerbach, pointedly.
Auerbach has not punched anyone in the mouth this season, and so far the NBA has only fined him around $1,000, which is well below his league-leading average. "My image has changed," Auerbach says. "There's more to this than a loudmouth, raving guy. I have built up a reputation of saying what I believe. I'm not always right, but at least it's what I believe. People are very curious to know what I'm like off court. Am I articulate? Am I sociable? I'm not an easy man to be friendly with. I'm not a hail-fellow-well-met. I'm a good friend and a good enemy. You mellow with age. Once I was younger, tougher, meaner." According to Jim Loscutoff, who played for the Celtics for eight years, Auerbach told him one time, "If you get obnoxious you build incentive."
"This year Red's mellowed in his dealings with the referees," says Tommy Heinsohn, the oldest Celtic in point of service. "There are a lot of young refs, and I think Red figured these guys are all new guys, so there's no sense getting on them, getting them rattled."

"Study the official's personality. Decide your attitude on this basis." This is a quotation from Basketball for the Player, the Fan and the Coach by Arnold (Red) Auerbach, a book that has sold 600,000 copies, not counting the Russian, Polish and Italian editions. For the most part, it is a first-rate presentation of such subjects as "How to Play the Pivot," but Auerbach doesn't really hit his stride until page 189 and the chapter headed "Individual and Team Strategy." Herein he lists "57 Strategic Moves," which he prefaces with this disclaimer: "How many of these you consider ethical or unethical depends entirely on your organization. I am merely listing them as things that can happen." Among the possible moves are:
•When a player notices an official's indecision as to an out-of-bounds ball, he should run over and pick it up with the full confidence that it is his.
•If the opposing team has a high scorer, keep reminding the other players of their uselessness because the scorer takes all the shots.
•Grabbing or pulling the pants or shirt of the opponent can be very aggravating.
•When the other team is given possession of the ball from an official's decision, don't throw the ball directly to an opponent. The ball should be thrown rather slowly to the official. This will give your men time to get set on defense.
•Place the scorer's and timer's table near your bench.
•Wait until the other team has started warming up and then request their basket. This request must be honored away from home.
For those who have never had the privilege of hearing an Auerbach performance from the bench (and vicinity), the following is (exclusive! live! in black and white!) a verbatim account of same during the first quarter of the game of March 5 at Baltimore, in which the Celtics were outscored 37-27:
Just before the referee was about to throw the ball up for the center jump, Auerbach stood up and said: "I think the visiting team ought to pick the ball. I don't want to say anything, but it's the way it's supposed to be."
"Look at 'em holding 'em!"
"Goddam!" [He stamped his foot, and then slumped back, in evident agony, as though a Jivaro seated in the balcony had hit him with a poisoned dart.]
"One!" [This is one of the Celtics' seven basic plays, of which there are 28 variations.]
"Buddy! Russell!" [Auerbach had noticed Russell limping and was calling this to the attention of the Boston trainer, Buddy LeRoux.]
"What are you going to do?"
"Give it to Satch! Too late." [Satch is Forward Tom Sanders.]
"Don't foul 'em! Five on us!"
"How about the push?"
"Hey, hey, the foul's on Howell!" [Auerbach smote the adjoining press table a terrific blow with his right fist, got up and, head thrust forward, purpling, stalked along the press table to the official scorer.]
Alas, Auerbach did not have any of his notorious confrontations with the officials. Tommy Heinsohn's favorite is this bizarre exchange that ended a discussion between Auerbach and Sid Borgia, now the NBA supervisor of officials.
Auerbach: Borgia, if you didn't have that whistle, you wouldn't have a nickel.
Borgia: If you didn't marry money, you'd be nothing.
Auerbach: What do you mean? She didn't have a nickel!

This year Red Auerbach was one of 10 recipients of the Boston Medal for Distinguished Achievement; the other medals were awarded to six Nobel Prizewinners, Richard Rodgers, Arthur Fiedler and Charles A. Coolidge, an attorney. Auerbach ranks this award as one of the chief "thrills" of his life. Among the others are the publication of his first article, Indoor Obstacle Courses, which appeared in the May 1943 issue of The Journal of Health and Physical Education; the night the St. Louis Hawks gave him a tea set to commemorate the thousandth game he coached ("They had always booed me resoundingly in St. Louis," says Auerbach with feeling); and the day in 1960 when a stranger approached him and said he had always remembered the lecture on The Potential Limit Auerbach delivered at Roosevelt High School in Washington in 1941. "He was Lee Pogostin, the TV writer," Auerbach says. "A C student, a very obscure-type kid at the time."
After Auerbach received the Boston Medal, he said, "I don't know where they got my name. They must be giving it to me because I can go to my left. I certainly can't do anything else." Auerbach is not only without rival as a basketball coach; no one in any of the other major team sports has ever come close to matching his remarkable record. The only NBA marks left for Auerbach to break are those held by Auerbach This year, for example, the Celtics won 62 games out of 80, to surpass the record of 60 set by the Celtics in 1961-62. In 1946 the Capitols won 17 games in a row, a feat duplicated by the Celtics in 1959-60. Auerbach's teams have won seven world championships, nine divisional titles and failed to make the playoffs only once. At the beginning of the current season Auerbach had a career record of 822 wins and 435 losses; the overall total for the eight other NBA coaches was 820 and 851. He has coached the East team in the annual NBA All-Star Game for nine years, but until this year had never been voted Coach of the Year. Last season Auerbach was tied for third with Charley Wolf, who formerly coached Detroit, which is certainly a record for infantilism on the part of the sportswriters who did the selecting.
Auerbach's preeminence as a coach has been attributed to many factors, but Loscutoff and Heinsohn single out his relationship—or, rather, the deliberate lack of it—with his players' wives. "His whole theory behind basketball is never get too close to the wives," Loscutoff says. "It's the smartest move the man ever made," says Heinsohn. "Nothing can ruin a team more than 10 wives who love their husbands and think they're the greatest." Says Auerbach, "I'm on a hello basis with the wives. I never go to anyone's house for dinner. You can't become emotionally involved and then be impartial. It breeds discontent, jealousy, and who needs it?"
Auerbach has often said that he runs the Celtics like a dictatorship. "It's a dictatorship with compassion," he explains. "I don't think I'm a dictator to the extent that I'm never wrong. The thing I've got to watch is being carried away with my own importance. You're dealing with a game where everybody wants to be heard, to go down in history. A man thinks he's infallible, he's ridiculous. I admit it if I've had a bad day on the bench. You let them know you're human, too, that you can't be up for 80 games. Otherwise how can you keep patting them on the behind?
"But I don't believe in electing a team captain, for instance. I appoint one. I don't take any chances. And I'm not having a group discussion when I get a point across. I'm not really interested in gripes, either. This isn't a union. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not explosive with my players. I concede that a lot of the rookies are awed by me. I watch it. Every once in a while I bring them inside and talk to them, but you can overtalk just like you can overcoach.
"A lot of coaches have to prove they're the boss. They get their teams so emotionally hopped up that, while they'll hustle and fight off the boards, they won't take the shot and they'll throw the ball away. They keep looking at the coach! I can't stand a ballplayer who plays in fear. Any fellow who has a good shot has got to take it and keep taking it. So he misses. So what."
"You can make a thousand mistakes as long as you hustle," says Heinsohn. "The guys know they're not going to be rushed out the door when they make a mistake. The reason Red's been so successful is that he's always the boss. But he's not a know-it-all and he's always open to suggestions. You've got to earn his friendship. He doesn't get friendly with a guy until the guy knows Red's the boss. Red's got a heart as big as a grapefruit. All this Leo Durocher stuff. Baloney! He's soft."
"He's a man hardened by his environment," says Mel Counts, the Celtics' rookie forward, "but he also has a lot of heart. He likes to feel he's the boss, that he's important, but Red'll surprise you sometimes. He'll be generous, helpful, not gruff like a bear. He's not consistent. He's complimented me on the fine games I've had but, of course, they were quite obvious. He's kind of like the captain of a ship. You can't get too close to the captain, yet you can ask questions, but you feel uneasy. Sometimes he'll say things to see how you'll react, like it's a game. He's sarcastic. Sometimes he offends my intelligence. You have a little pride, a little dignity yourself. I don't think man was put on the earth to be abused. There's a time to stand on your own two feet. I like Red, but I don't understand him."
"As soon as I retire, I said to myself, I'm going to belt Red," Jim Loscutoff, who now coaches at Boston State, said one day last month, "but I admired the guy, I respected the guy. He's a fantastic guy. I learned a lot about psychology from Red. He knows exactly what to say to each ballplayer. He knows you can't say anything derogatory to Russell because he'll pout. You couldn't criticize Cousy or Ramsey, either. We could be losing a game by eight points and nobody would be doing anything wrong but Heinsohn and Loscutoff. Auerbach and Russell get along because each knows just what kind of a guy the other is. Russell knows Auerbach isn't a person who would appreciate being stepped on. I learned a lot from him. I find myself using a lot of his terminology."
"Poor kids," said Loscutoff's wife.
"Like my wife would say," Loscutoff said, "Red's a diamond in the rough."
"In fact," said Mrs. Loscutoff, "Red's wife told me that."
"When you get down to serious coaching. Red's the best," says Bill Russell. "He's versatile, intelligent, astute, flexible and he has me on the team. He's made the most out of it. He's getting the maximum out of me. In order to be successful, you've got to believe in yourself, which is commonly known as egotism. Red's an egotist, just like me. He's a human being. He has his successes and his failures. He keeps his failures to a minimum—he tries to get along with me."
"I admire Russell because he's smart enough to understand me," Auerbach says. Indeed, the maintenance of the sometimes strained symbiosis of Auerbach and Russell is, by and large, responsible for the Celtics' good fortune. Auerbach had never won a championship until Russell joined the Celtics late in 1956, and of the 19 games Russell has missed during the past nine years, Boston has won only six.
Arnold Auerbach was born in "-Brooklyn 47 years ago. He is called Red because, as he explains 1,673 times a year, in a bygone era he had abundant auburn hair. Auerbach went to Eastern District High School in Brooklyn, where he was president of the student body. "I was no brain," he says. "I had no ability. It was a popularity contest." In his senior year Auerbach made the All-Brooklyn second team in basketball. His recital of this honor never fails to break up the Celtics—which, in turn, enrages Auerbach. "We got more high school kids in Brooklyn than most of you guys have in your whole state," he says.
At George Washington, Auerbach was the leading scorer in the metropolitan Washington area, with a 10.6 average, another achievement that greatly amuses the Celtics. "Through the years, I've been one of the three or four best shooters on the Celtics," he says. Auerbach was subsequently a high school gym teacher and basketball coach, a college referee, a member of the physical education staff at Duke and a physical rehabilitation officer in the Navy.
Auerbach is a true believer in fundamentals, by which he may mean spending half an hour demonstrating the proper way to throw a rock into a wastebasket: "Do I heave it underhand? If so, why? Should I put this foot forward or this one? Or should I stand with both feet together?" Or, on a slightly higher level: "You've got a basketball. It's round. The floor's even. If you bounce it, it's going to come up straight. You don't have to watch it. One of the most important things in basketball is the position of the head. The game is not played there," he says, indicating the floor. "It's played up there!"
Additional Auerbach aphorisms:
•Never bounce the ball without a purpose.
•Remember that passing is the fastest method of advancing the ball.
•If a pass is not caught it is almost always the fault of the guy who threw it.
•When a man has the ball, watch his hips. He can't go anywhere without them.
•Never rest on defense.
•You've got to have your best shooter shoot more, but the others have to shoot enough.

Auerbach is a great advocate of the balanced team. "That's where a lot of coaches make a lot of mistakes," he says. "They use their five best players, not the five who are going to win. Sometimes you have to pick a player for balance but, of course, sometimes balance shmalance. I've generally had one or two men on my team who had terrific desire or attitude—Bob Brannum, Jim Loscutoff. This is your job,' I'd tell them. 'Just do this and you're an important part of the ball club.' You play this game with one ball, not five balls. Oftentimes you keep a player like Loscutoff rather than one with more ability who would sulk if he wasn't playing all the time. Someone with less ability or an oldtimer understands. That's why I've had such success with oldtimers. Arnie Risen, Andy Phillip, Clyde Lovellette, Carl Braun, John McCarthy—you could reason with them."
As a consequence, Auerbach has little use for statistics. "I go by what I see," he says. "I'll be interested in statistics when they show me how they can measure intestinal fortitude, coming through in the clutch." When Auerbach recently asked his friend Allie Sherman, the coach of the New York Giants, why he had traded So-and-so, Sherman offered to show him movies that demonstrated the player was a half step slower. Auerbach wouldn't buy it. "If I'm an egotist," he says, "it's because I go by what I see. We pay our boys on the basis of performance, not statistics. Too many points are gotten when they don't count, in what we call 'garbage-up time.'
"I can show you a guy with 16 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and he was——. He threw the ball away, he wasn't running fast, he was showing me false hustle, he took bad shots, he messed up the good ones, his defense was bad, he did nothing in the clutch. When you can measure these, I'm interested."
At 6:15 one night last month, Auerbach stood in Convention Hall in Philadelphia raptly watching a preliminary game between the Philadelphia Athletic Club and the Reading Knights. The hall was almost empty; the Celtics-76ers game wasn't until 8:30. "I always like to get the feel of the joint," Auerbach explained, sort of. "I like to get the feel of the locker room. Nothing specific—just the feel."
Auerbach is continually looking at basketball games. That afternoon he had sat in his room in the Sheraton Motor Inn, watching a televised game between Georgetown and Manhattan. "You can't see their sizes," Auerbach said. "All you can see is pattern, a few individual moves, and you enjoy yourself. You see that kid dropping back—ridiculous...Nice move.... Foul on No. 3. Oh, he called a jump. Lucky kid.... Nothing.... They're standing around a little too much.... Beautiful play, that Chlupsa.... He should have passed that, then gotten it back. He would have gotten it down quicker.... See, he looked up. That's what you watch."
The Celtics have no formal scouting system. Auerbach, with an occasional assist from one of his loyal old players, is just about it. "I got to be realistic," he said. "I got ninth choice. There's no point me looking at a Bradley." Although Boston has had last pick in the player draft for the past eight years, they have drafted such stars as Sam Jones, Tom Sanders and John Havlicek.
"Right now I can't visualize I can do better than my three rookies this year," Auerbach said. "They were ninth, 18th and 27th choices, and they stayed with my championship ball club. I did make a slight mistake with Willis Reed. [Reed was picked 10th by New York and was runner-up in the Rookie of the Year voting.] I saw him play once and he didn't do too much. That brings out my theory—you got to see them twice."
Auerbach then began to brood about the two straight losses the Celtics had suffered; he said he was finding it hard to keep the team up since they had clinched the Eastern Division title. "They're getting a little careless," he said. "Now's the time to lower the boom, but how can you? Now's the time to open your heart." He considered calling a practice for the following morning. One of Auerbach's rules is that a player must attend a practice even if he says he doesn't feel well enough to participate. Auerbach learned that trick as a high school gym teacher. He found that there were fewer excuses if he made every boy take a shower whether or not he actually took gym. Auerbach also forbids his players to eat pancakes. "We all have our peculiarities," he says. "One morning, I caught Sam Jones eating pancakes. 'Well, that bite cost you five dollars,' I said. 'What's your next move?' " And Auerbach disapproves of his players drinking whiskey. "If they're in a cocktail lounge and there are glasses of ginger ale in front of them, I fine them right away. I can't taste every drink. Let them drink beer!" Auerbach has no curfew, however. As Tommy Heinsohn says, "If you have a curfew, it makes it a contest. The player tries to beat the coach instead of being on his side. Red lets us live the life we think best for a professional ballplayer."
With the death last year of Walter Brown, the Celtics' president, Auerbach took on the title of general manager as well as that of coach and scout, and last week he became part owner of the club. He finds having so many titles convenient in his dealings with his players. For example, the other day Russell said to Auerbach, "I'd like to ask you something." Auerbach knew it was going to be a request for a little favor. "I don't want to discuss it," Auerbach said. "Why not?" Russell said. "'Because you're talking to the general manager now, and you went over the coach's head."
Auerbach doubts whether he will continue coaching for more than two years. "I'd like to get my thousand wins," he said. "I don't believe too much in records, but they give you an excuse to push yourself—another silly motivating factor. You're tired, you're tired. There is a tendency to get a little blasé with so many games. After about 1,400 games, who can remember? But what you do remember is how hard it was to get each individual win. Ft scares you. Some of my pregame talks at this stage are ridiculous. As Heinsohn says, 'I'm running out of oratory.' Once, after a game, Russell came over to me and said, 'You know, your pep talk wasn't too inspiring today.' 'That's right,' I said, 'and neither was your play.' "
The Celtics started to drift into Convention Hall, trailed by small boys with ballpoint pens. "You know one thing I've learned after all these years," Auerbach said, "I've learned how to write my autograph on one sheet of paper. Toilet paper. A napkin. You see, you rest the sheet of paper on your index finger, like this. Another thing I've learned is that when these kids hand you the pen, they never push the little button down."
One of the boys approached Auerbach, asked him for his autograph and gave him a scrap of paper and a pen. Auerbach laid the paper on his index finger and began to write. Then, smiling, he pushed the little button down and deftly signed his name.

Luka Dončić, the Dallas Mavericks NBA star, is well-known to be passionate about Overwatch and also seems to enjoy the first-person shooter’s sequel a lot. Being a top basketball athlete apparently doesn’t stop Dončić from achieving a pretty high rank in Overwatch 2, as he was recently spotted in a Grandmaster lobby in the game – in the title’s ranking system that’s the group of players below the top 500, so anyone in that skill range knows what they’re doing.
Dončić was discovered by pure chance during an Overwatch 2 broadcast on the Twitch stream of m0xyy, who regularly plays the game (thanks, Dexerto). Playing duo with a friend, m0xyy came upon a player with the nickname Donatello – yes, like the Italian Renaissance artist and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle – queuing for the Tank role. After playing a round, Donatello asked m0xyy if he was the popular Twitch streamer over the game’s voice chat, since he was a bit of a fan.
A third team mate then asked Donatello about his hobbies, to which he responded with “I play basketball.” He then answered “Dallas Mavericks” when asked if he played at a gym or on an actual team. That obviously unexpected response led to some confusion, but Donatello kept clarifying that he was talking about the actual NBA team.
Pressed by his Twitch chat, which started spamming that Donatello was actually Dončić, m0xyy asked him about his identity directly, which Donatello confirmed to be the NBA star. Not believing the story quite yet, m0xyy began asking questions about Dončić, like his birthday and the name of his mother, which Donatello answered without any hesitation. “I know, I’m him,” Dončić said.
Comparing the voice heard on stream to how Dončić sounds like on TV definitely checks out as well, so this rare sighting was definitely authentic and a pretty cool moment for the streamer – and probably for Dončić as well, since he watches m0xyy sometimes.
Gameplay-wise, the NBA star also seems very deserving of his Grandmaster ranking. Though he previously stated on social media that his favorite heroes were Roadhog, Hanzo, and Cassidy, he very competently played as Reinhardt and Zarya during the matches with m0xyy, doing a great job fulfilling his role.
Scoring points in the world’s premier basketball league and protecting his teammates in Overwatch 2 – Luka Dončić can do it all.

For the first time, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has publicly addressed the fact he is gay in an open letter that includes his feelings about being part of a minority.
In the letter published in Bloomberg Business Week, Cook wrote that many people familiar with him would have known his orientation, but by addressing it publicly for the first time, he hopes it encourages others like him to speak out.
“I’m proud to be gay,” he wrote, “and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”
He also wrote about how being part of a minority that is still regularly targeted by certain members of society has affected the way he goes about his daily life and even in running Apple, one of the biggest companies in the world.
Encouraging others to stand up for themselves
Cook continued, “It’s made me more empathetic, which has led to a richer life. It’s been tough and uncomfortable at times, but it has given me the confidence to be myself, to follow my own path, and to rise above adversity and bigotry. It’s also given me the skin of a rhinoceros, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO of Apple.”
That is why, he wrote, it was his decision to go public and infringe his own privacy, to potentially give impetus to people who may also be criticised for their sexual orientation to stand up for who they are and what they believe.
“I don’t consider myself an activist, but I realise how much I’ve benefited from the sacrifice of others. So if hearing that the CEO of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it’s worth the trade-off with my own privacy.”
Following on diversity promise
Cook’s openness about his sexuality comes after Apple released its own diversity report in August, which included a personal message from Cook admitting there is much work to be done within Apple to create a more diverse company.
In his letter on diversity, Cook wrote, “Let me say up front: As CEO, I’m not satisfied with the numbers on this page. They’re not new to us, and we’ve been working hard for quite some time to improve them. We are making progress, and we’re committed to being as innovative in advancing diversity as we are in developing our products.”

1956 Volkswagen Oval Bug
This 1956 Coral Red Oval Window Bug is finished and heading back home to the owner. We got more and more excited as we heard stories of adventures in the Beetle, from this being his car in high school, to going on his first date with his future wife, to their kids growing up riding in the back seat. There was even a time he had to remove the passenger seat and sit in the back seat because he broke his leg but still had to go to work. It is amazing that we were able to play a part in the history of this beloved Beetle with performing its restoration, and we are very sad it is leaving our shop.

As you may know, Lightning Experience, which is Salesforce’s updated user interface and feature set, became available to all organizations and all editions in the winter of 2016.
You may have noticed a new option towards the top of the setup menu called “Lightning Experience New.” If you click on that, it takes you to the page that allows you to go through setup which will then allow you to turn on Lightning Experience.
Once you click that link, you will see a banner at the top of the page. That banner links to Salesforce’s Trailhead, which is a website with Salesforce tutorials. This specific banner will take you to the section that covers how to set up Lightning. Underneath the banner, we will see tutorials to turn on three different features:
Account insights: This is a business newsfeed that allows your sales reps to stay on top of accounts that they are working on with respective industries. This feature appears on the homepage as well as the record pages for the accounts.
Social accounts, contacts, and leads: This feature allows sales reps to link accounts, contacts, and leads records to their social media profiles. While this feature is available in Salesforce Classic, in Lightning you have an option to toggle it on or off.
Notes: The Notes features lets you create notes in a rich text editor and attach those notes to various Salesforce records across different objects.
It is possible to turn on the Lightning Experience for various sets of users or subsets of users within the organization based on profiles and permission sets. This only applies to Enterprise edition or higher. It should be noted that once Lightning is turned on, it is enabled for all standard profiles. It is up to you to decide if you want to have Lightning turned on for certain custom profiles. Since custom profiles are not available for Professional edition and lower, you can either turn it on for everyone or leave it off.
Once you have decided who will have access to the new Lightning features, the next step is to actually turn the features on. You will go back to the button under “Lightning Experience New” and simply click it. You will then need to refresh your browser. You will notice that you will now have a new option under your name that says “Switch To Lightning Experience.” This will enable Lightning on your instance of Salesforce. If you ever want to go back to Salesforce Classic, just click on your name again and switch it back.

AMSTERDAM, 12 May 2023 – After months of innovating and ideating, the wait is over. Between 15 – 28 May 2023, 22 global airlines will take to the skies as part of SkyTeam’s second Sustainable Flight Challenge – a shared mission to discover new solutions to help make air travel greener. For a second consecutive year, the global airline alliance is harnessing the power of friendly competition and challenging airlines to operate their flights as sustainably as possible, above and below wing, from pushback to parking stand.
Launched in 2022, The Sustainable Flight Challenge (TSFC) is the industry’s first sustainability initiative of its kind and aims to affect meaningful change in the short-term. All participating airlines commit to sharing their innovations and insights industry-wide after the challenge to help reduce aviation’s environmental impact while the industry waits for greater availability of alternative fuel sources.
"After last year’s inaugural challenge generated hundreds of new innovations, many of which are being adopted by our airlines, we’re excited to see what new ideas the second Sustainable Flight Challenge will bring our industry. A lot of hard work has gone into these dedicated flights and I am proud of the efforts these airlines are making in our mission to reduce emissions and find new ways to make air travel greener."
To qualify, flights must form part of the airlines’ existing networks and fall within a specified distance. Once completed, airlines submit their results which will be evaluated for each award against set criteria by a diverse panel of aviation and sustainability experts from around the world.
This year’s seven awards categories include:
Lowest CO2 emissions
Greatest CO2 reduction
Lowest CO2 emissions ground operations
Best in-flight waste management
This year, the 22 participating airlines – SkyTeam members and SkyTeam ‘friends and family’ – will operate a total of 72 flights, comprising 24 short-, 24 medium- and 24 long-haul services. Last year’s challenge comprised a total of 22 flights operated by 16 airlines.
Airlines taking part in the challenge are: Aerolíneas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Aeromexico Connect, Air Europa, Air France, China Airlines, China Eastern, Delta Air Lines, Endeavor Air, Garuda Indonesia, ITA Airways, Kenya Airways, Jambojet, KLM, KLM Cityhopper, Korean Air, MEA, Saudia, Shanghai Airlines, TAROM, Vietnam Airlines and Xiamenair.
Category winners will be announced later this year and ideas, innovations and insights will be presented at a showcase event hosted by Delta Air Lines in Atlanta.
SkyTeam is dedicated to powering a seamless customer journey, with all members working together to connect millions of passengers across an extensive global network. The members are Aeroflot (suspended), Aerolineas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, China Airlines, China Eastern, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Garuda Indonesia, ITA Airways, Kenya Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Korean Air, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, TAROM, Vietnam Airlines, and XiamenAir.
About the Sustainable Flight Challenge
The Sustainable Flight Challenge (TSFC) exists to challenge the aviation industry by stimulating and accelerating innovation towards a sustainable future. TSFC was first presented in 2022 by SkyTeam, a leading airline alliance with member carriers around the world. This year’s challenge is scheduled between 15 May – 28 May 2023 in which 22 participating airlines will implement their most sustainable solutions and compete for awards in 31 categories. This challenge - including flight and ground operations - is another step in the aviation industry’s path towards a more sustainable future.

Timber Bin Store
Starting From £550.00 Inc. VAT
or 3 payments of via interest-free as always.
- Easy to assemble flat pack design in under 30 mins *see assembly video*
- Designed to house standard 240l or smaller wheelie bins
- Customisable options
- Modern and contemporary design
- Bespoke sizes available
- Choice of internal framework to reduce costs without compromising on looks
Delivery estimated from £140 with approximately 7-10 working days lead time.
Timber Bin Store
Timber Slatted Bin Store
Hideaway unsightly bins with our handcrafted wheelie bin stores, available in premium Canadian Western Red Cedar, American Douglas Fir, or Pressure-treated Pine, providing homeowners with a modern and robust storage solution that can cater for up to five standard 240l wheelie bins.
Tailor your bin store to suit your needs with a variety of options, such as opening lids, slatted or planter roof, and storage from 2 to 5 wheelie bins.
The slatted design of our wheelie bin store range is consistent with the fence panels, gates and furniture, creating a stylishly practical feature ideal for any UK property. You can even choose which internal timber your bin store is built with; our pressure-treated internal timber frame offers an affordable solution where more expensive framing may not be needed. Pressure-treated timbers are also resistant to rotting, bacteria and insect damage which provides a lifespan of ten to twelve years.
Supplied as an easy-to-assemble, flat-packed design, with no special tools required.
Sustainably Sourced Timber
We are passionate about championing timber as a renewable and biodegradable natural resource. We only select sustainable suppliers vetted and approved by the PEFC and FSC.
Customers can tailor their Wheelie Bin Store to suit their intended use.
Customers can choose between a fixed-slatted roof, opening lids or a planter top.
The fixed roof option is just that: the roof is slatted in the same way as the back and sides and would require you to pull the bin out to accept your rubbish bags.
Depending on your chosen bin store option 2, 3, 4, or 5, the bin store has the same number of hinged corresponding lids, a robust polymer handle for easy opening, and a small chain fitted as standard.
The chain comes fitted with a small carabiner clip and can be looped through the bin handle so that when the lid is opened, the bin lid opens simultaneously, making disposal of your waste bags easy. If you don’t have a handle on your wheelie bin and it is perhaps just a lip at the front that is used to open, simply drill a couple of small holes that the chain can pass through.
The planter-top roof is a flat roof with a raised lip. It allows customers to add flowers and plants to the bin store’s roof, making it an ideal option for those wanting to add a unique feature. You must line the planter roof with the correct type of liner for your planting. We treat the flat section and internal lip with Black Jack bitumen to add additional protection, but this does not make the lid fully waterproof.
Remember: as with the fixed roof option, you will need to remove the bins to put in your rubbish bags, recycling, etc.
The bin stores can be made with or without a slatted back section. The bin store still has the framework, but no slats are fixed to it. This reduces the cost of the bin store by the slats that are not used and is the perfect option if you are storing your Timber Bin Store against walls or fences.
Stainless steel lid stays can be added to bin stores with opening lids to hold the lid open while you empty your recycling boxes, etc.
Please note that the lid will not fully open vertically if the lid stays are fitted.
Internal Frame Options
We supply our bin stores with two internal frame options: the matching chosen timber or the lower-cost alternative, Pressure-Treated Pine.
For example, if you choose a Western Red Cedar bin store with the matching framework, it will be built fully from Western Red Cedar inside and out. However, if you decide to opt for treated pine internal timber, this will reduce the cost. Visually, from the exterior, both bin stores would look identical; the only way you see this treated pine is when the doors or lids are opened.
Bin Store Features
Corner Door Stop
All our bin stores include a small and discreet corner door stop.
Flat Support Strips
These are used to strengthen and support the internal framework, whilst allowing easy access for your bins.
Stainless steel lockable latches are a discreet easy-to-use feature fitted as standard on all our doors. Please note the style of the latch may vary from the picture shown, and may be in silver or black.
On our open-lid bin stores, polymer handles are fitted, which are strong and resistant to rust and corrosion.
Our opening-lid bin stores feature a small chain, which is used to hook around your bin lid handle to allow easy access when disposing of your rubbish.
Our open-lid bin stores can include lid stays at an additional cost which is used to keep your bin store lid open after lifting, making it easier to operate and use.

Below are some of the most popular questions that we get asked daily. Please get in touch with us directly if you require further info or have other questions.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes. We offer nationwide delivery using pallet delivery or courier services.
Your bin store will arrive in easy-to-assemble flat-pack sections taking an average of 20 – 30 minutes, with no special tools needed & all screws and fixings that will be required are supplied.
What size bin does the bin store fit?
Our bin stores can be built to hold 2, 3, 4 or 5 standard 240l wheelie bins. These tend to be the most common size and are typically around 58cm wide x 73cm deep x 107cm high.
Being designed for this bin size, which is the most common, means that the smaller 180l & 120l will also fit.
However, we offer a bespoke service if you require a wheelie bin store for larger bins such as the 360l and need to increase the size, or if all your bins are the smaller options and you would require the bin store reduced to suit.
Then please email us your enquiry, and we will happily cost this for you.
What timber options are available?
We can build the bin stores in Canadian Western Red Cedar, Ayous, Douglas Fir and Pressure-Treated Pine, and with various options such as opening lids, fixed and planter roofs, with or without a slatted back panel and even a lower dost internal framework as this is not seen.
This way, you can tailor the bin store to suit your needs and budget.
Is any maintenance or treatment required?
If using Western Red Cedar, Ayous, or Douglas Fir then an application of UV oil will offer protection from weathering/fading as well as enhancing the beautiful colours and grain.
Pressure-treated timber may be the best choice if you are thinking of staining or painting your bin store.
And don’t forget: a little WD40 on hinges and lid stays will go a long way toward helping prevent them from sticking or squeaking.
Are bespoke options available?
Yes. Our bespoke service allows customers to create a unique bin store that meets their specifications. We can easily accommodate requests to house more bins, add shelves for recycle boxes, etc.
Contact our team directly to discuss your requirements, and we will provide an accurate quote.
Can you paint the bin stores?
Yes. We recommend painting with a suitable outdoor product.
Our bespoke service covers you if you need storage for your garden in a specific size that we don’t sell as standard. We can customise storage in various options, perfect for any requirement.

TALsounds: Living with and through Music
Encountering the music of Natalie Chami’s TALsounds project affects in nuanced, unpredictable ways. Its warm, synthesizer-and-voice ambience suggests meditative bliss, but the lingering storminess in her work gives these songs a heft, a stunning sense of purpose. Chami is a lifelong musician, leading to a current day-to-day full of music in any and all aspects. Outside of her solo work full-time position as the Vocal Chair of Chicago High School for the Arts, Chami is also a member of the improv trio Good Willsmith, collaborates with a number of other musicians and is currently working on a film score. Her new album, Acquiesce, arrives this week through NNA Tapes and carries her improvisational approach toward songwriting deeper into a space of cosmic awe. It stands taller than previous TALsounds releases, feeling both more substantial and less immediately graspable than its predecessors.
Significantly, Acquiesce was recorded following a period of confusion and quasi-respite from the TALsounds project for Chami. In the time since her last album, 2017’s Love Sick, shifts in her life led toward a reorientation toward music-making. “I had just started dating my [now] fiancé,” says Chami. “I was playing less, I think, because I was really caught up in the relationship. This relationship felt like more extremes on both ends, passionately: When something was negative it felt pretty bad, and when it was good it felt pretty good. I would play every single day, and then I [thought] maybe I should take a break from it, maybe I’m not doing anything new. Or maybe I don’t need this right now.”
“I remember having to let go and just meditate on the sounds again and get into it in that way.”
Aiding in this sustained halt was the musical pressure Chami began to feel in the shadow of Love Sick‘s tone and style. That record featured shorter, more earwormy songs, a result—in part—of the meticulous editing that formed the final set of songs. Chami initially conceived of Acquiesce in a similar vein, focusing on “making it more pop-sounding and song-structured,” she says. “When I started going in to recording after that last album, I was thinking really hard about more of a pop form at the beginning. I was like, ‘god, I can’t recreate songs!’ And I wanted to so badly. It was really challenging.”
The solution to this creative roadblock came when Chami departed from a pre-structured form of thinking and returned to the organicism at the heart of her TALsounds work. She found herself asking, “How do I improvise and just play, just for the sake of playing?” In this tried-and-true, inherently naturalistic relationship with music, Chami found a new path to explore. “Eventually, I gave myself the time to do that and not worry so much. I remember having to let go and just meditate on the sounds again and get into it in that way. I had to trust in my original process again.”
For Chami, this “original process” isn’t so much a strict set of guidelines or practices as it is a general philosophy of music based on a deep integration of the self with the art. She tells me a story about a time when Yo-Yo Ma visited the school she teaches at. A parent asked the renowned cellist how to help her seven-year-old daughter, who couldn’t seem to find the motivation for regular practice. Chami says that Ma “totally ignored the mother and said to the seven year old, ‘Listen, you continue to play your cello if you can see it as your friend, when you have no one else.’ I think that was similarly how I feel about music.” In particular, amid an upbringing full of moves, a turn toward art offered a constant sense of belonging: “I went to so many different schools as a kid; over ten schools. Music was the one thing I always felt … it was the only thing that I always had.”
This long-term, symbiotic relationship allows Chami to live with her music in a way that respects the art almost as its own organic being, as something just as autonomous, unpredictable and fickle as a living human. This bond negates a quick result, a process that can often threaten monotony and futility. But Chami insists: “Eventually, something will transform,” she says. “It will evolve no matter what. Even if it feels the same and you feel stuck, over time you will listen back and things will change.”
Following this, Acquiesce, does boast a considerable roominess, a more sustained sweep into the TALsounds world. In the place of Love Sick’s succinctness, the new numbers breathe and float. Where lead single “Soar” expands into monumental and (in Chami’s words) “lush” territory, “Dynasty” is a thin, limitless landscape of glitching voices and agitated synthesizer loops. “I remember thinking colors for sure,” Chami says. “I thought of this album as, like, oranges and greens, actually.” This chromatic influence manifests in the record’s cover, a striking image of a hotel bedside. Of the photo, shot by Zinzi LeMond, Chami says, “I really wanted it to be dim, but also this bright light from the lamp. The vibe was intimacy, [but] definitely space. This sort of questioning intimacy and also loneliness at the same time. Solitude.”
“Even if it feels the same and you feel stuck, over time you will listen back and things will change.”
Despite (or perhaps because of) Chami’s obvious investment and faith in music, she’s ultimately skeptical of art’s ability to communicate emotion and experience. While she does cite some life experiences or sustained feelings that she remembers from the time of recording, she’s quick to question the entire nature of this artistic philosophy based on direct, conscious expression. “I think when [I] look back at things, I [feel] like, ‘Am I making stuff up now to make meaning of something?’” she says. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m making up a feeling that I’m not actually feeling, also. I think that way about a lot of art. I think it feels good to humans to put a lot of thought and processing behind something. That isn’t always accurate.”
This distancing skepticism might help explain the special mystique of Chami’s music—she delivers sounds in turn comforting and unsettling, despairing and life-affirming. These songs really might be all or none of these things, all depending on how and why you decide to approach Acquiesce. TALsounds albums don’t so much offer music for immediate emotional release as they does fit neatly into whatever space they breathe into. The music’s amorphous movements slide into the listener’s ears, soothing, warming and rounding its edges to fit new forms.
Listen to Acquiesce below, and find more information on the release through NNA’s site.

Why small fish are sweeter property investments
Promoted by Propertyology
Here’s how to target (both) capital growth and better cash flow while also minimising your risk.
If you had enough cash to buy $1 million-worth of real estate what would you do?
Unfortunately, many people would opt to buy just one property. And, if they lived in Sydney they’d probably invest there because they believe the Harbour City will always be the golden goose.
What to do with $200,000?
An investor who has $200,000 as a deposit, either through cash or equity, could conceivably buy property worth $1 million while maintaining a healthy 80 per cent loan-to-value position.
Now, for me, this isn't a hypothetical because I recently added $1 million-worth of property to my own portfolio.
However, let's compare my purchases with someone who invested that $200,000 into one property in somewhere like Parramatta (chosen primarily because the median house price in this middle-ring Sydney suburb is near enough to $1 million).
Of course, with any property investment, research in to the fundamentals and growth drivers of a location is vital whether you're buying one or three properties. But, investment strategy is different!
A thought process to use in this scenario is to actually think like a sophisticated share investor.
If a share investor had $200,000,and worked in a bank, do you think they would invest all of their money into that one particular bank stock?Of course not, because they’d be putting all of their eggs in one basket.
If something adverse happened to that bank or to the financial sector as a whole,100 per cent of their capital would be exposed to the resultant poor performance.
Propertyology apply similar principles to that astute share investor, which means we don't invest all of our capital in one asset or in one community.
Most sophisticated share investors would break that $200,000 into smaller parcels and invest in a number of different companies across different industries. They do this in order to take advantage of multiple opportunities and to provide a degree of protection from future downturns caused by any number of factors that one couldn’t possibly anticipate at the time of investing.
That is what I do as a property investor and Propertyology buyer’s agents help our clients to do it as well.
In my personal case, I bought a $400,000 property, a $350,000 one and then another one for $250,000 (one couldn’t buy a pantry in Sydney for $250,000 these days).
The cumulative value of my three properties is $1 million. But, they're located in three different states where each economy is dependent on different industry sectors (education, tourism, advanced manufacturing, agriculture, etc).
If there was a broad downturn in one economy for a period of time, or if something adverse happened at a local level in one location, the blow to my portfolio is cushioned by the economic and local growth drivers in other locations. This is a prudent risk management strategy; no one has a crystal ball!
Investing in properties in different states means that my entire portfolio is protected from localised economic wobbles. It’s not that long ago that New South Wales parliament was akin to a revolving door with 4 state premiers within 5.5 years – it’s no coincidence that NSW property markets were among Australia’s worst-performed during that era.
But, the most exciting thing is that I'm taking advantage of multiple opportunities in different locations!
There is no ONE market!
Let me be clear: these are three real properties in three different states with three different economic profiles – and all of those markets are doing different things at different times.
One of those properties is located in Hobart, which we know is going gangbusters. The $280,000 3-bedrooom house that I purchased in mid-2014 (while every other ‘property expert’ was bagging Hobart) has already increased in value by 30 per cent (and growing) and the rental yield is far superior to any other capital city.
The second property has produced mild growth in the short time that I’ve owned it, which is probably a good reflection of what Australia more broadly has done post-GFC.
The location that I purchased the third property in has been quite flat, which was expected when I bought it 18 months ago – when there was no competition and I could invest in the very best property(at a discounted price I might add).
However,Propertyology’s research suggests that each local economy is on the way up due to a number of factors, including business expansions and major infrastructure projects. Other property metrics show the rental and sales markets are both tightening so I’m confident sustained growth is just around the corner (not that you’ll ever read about the wonderful opportunities for investors in parts of regional Australia in mainstream media).
So, let's now calculate the cash flow of each property investment decision.
Buying a $1 million property in Parramatta, with an 80/20 loan to value ratio (LVR) and a five per cent interest rate, will require an additional cash injection from the landlord of about $20,500 per year.
If there is no price growth for five years as some market analysts are forecasting that's $100,000 of cash flow that's needed but the asset value has stayed the same.
Conversely, my small-fish-are-sweeter strategy that helped me to add three properties to my portfolio, using the same LVR and interest rate, have a cumulative cash flow of $3,500 a year – into my back pocket!
So, those three properties give back $3,500 a year to me in cash – plus, those markets are on the way up, not on the way down.
You don't have to be a fisherman to know that smaller property fish can indeed make sweeter investments!

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers document that Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) had the strangest series of looks on his face. Is it possible that he is working with Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada)?
Justin’s unexpected reappearance on the show happened at the setting and time when Tom Starr (Clint Howard) died.
Why was Spears’ character specifically in that spot, and what made him react so emotionally when various characters were talking about the deaths that occurred?
All of the above makes the wrongfully imprisoned Poppy Nozawa’s (Romy Park) speculative comments highly intriguing. Her suggestion involves more than one killer being involved in the crimes.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Justin Barber Buried The Hatchet?
Justin and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) were bitter enemies, the last all fans knew. In fact, Justin was working as Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) hatchet man until recently.
So, Bill forgave Justin for taking advantage of him and Liam Spencer’s (Scott Clifton) legal jeopardy. Devoted viewers recall that both men were facing hit-and-run charges that resulted in the death of one of Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) friends.
Justin exploited that situation by taking control of Spencer Publications. He also held Thomas hostage. So, Bill’s restored fixer and corporate attorney has demonstrated the ability to behave irrationally.
B&B Spoilers – Luna Nozawa Acted Alone?
It’s possible that Luna killed Tom because she wanted to keep her sweet life with Bill intact. Framing her mother for that crime would permanently remove Poppy from the equation.
But Luna did not appear to know or have a friendship with Paul Hollis Hollister (Paul W. Hollis). He recognized whoever entered Il Giardino on the night he was killed.
Hollis and whoever was in the camera’s line of sight, which became the viewer’s perspective, were alone at the restaurant.
Of course, fans are assuming that an unknown person killed Hollis. It could also have been someone else, with either instance proving out to be Luna.
Considering what the audience has learned, and Steffy determined about her, she could have been working with an accomplice. That’s where Justin becomes a plausible ally.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Poppy Nozawa Is Desperate
Poppy has implored her sister for help. Li Nozawa (Naomi Matsuda), who still says that Poppy is a gold-digger, firmly believes she is not a killer.
Li is right. The question is how that can be proven. It will be a challenging road in the short term.
Whether Luna was working alone or with another person, getting Poppy a good defense lawyer is important. Li and Bill will help with that effort, including possibly asking Justin or Jack Finnegan (Ted King), one of California’s top criminal lawyers, to aid her cause.

Kolkata, Oct 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Border Security Force (BSF) has arrested a smuggler along the India-Bangladesh Border in West Bengal's Nadia district and seized 4.67 kg of gold that was being smuggled from Bangladesh to India, an official said on Friday.
The value of the gold is nearly Rs 3.51 crore, a senior BSF official said.
"There were specific intelligence inputs regarding a gold smuggling attempt and troops of the 32 Bn BSF, posted at the Horondipur Border Outpost, were alerted. They stopped a man moving on a motorcycle close to the India-Bangladesh border, and he was unable to give a convincing reply when asked what he was doing there. On searching the motorcycle, two gold bars and 18 gold biscuits were found hidden inside the air filter. The man was immediately arrested and taken to the border outpost," said Nilotpal Kumar Pandey, DIG and spokesperson, South Bengal Frontier, BSF.
"The valuation of the contraband is about Rs 3,50,55,855. During questioning, the smuggler said that he had received the gold from one Alamgir in Bangladesh's Bojtala village on Wednesday evening. He was to cross the border and hand over the consignment to an unknown person in the Swarnakhali forest area. He was to receive Rs 10,000 for this delivery. The smuggler had hidden the gold in his motorcycle to evade detection," Pandey said.
The smuggler, along with the seized gold, has been handed over to the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in Kolkata for further legal procedures.
The DIG commended the active role played by the troops and the intelligence-gathering efforts of those in charge of that job.
He reiterated that the BSF would do whatever it takes to prevent criminal activities such as smuggling along the India-Bangladesh border.
He called upon the local residents to assist the BSF in its efforts to ensure a crime-free environment.
Any information related to gold smuggling can be relayed to the BSF's Seema Saathi Helpline at 14419 or via WhatsApp to 9903472227. Pandey assured that the identity of the informants would remain confidential, and they would be rewarded if the information was found to be correct.

Branding & Packaging
As the brand that stands tall on its values of Quality, Consistency, and Perseverance, Kamadhenu follows a treasured legacy of over a century in the Indian F&B industry.
At Socioar, we too took inspiration from three of the most powerful entities to project its ideologies: A cow represents the virtuous traits of sustenance and abundance, a woman - is the ultimate caregiver, and a peacock is the epitome of beauty.
With the colors Royal Green and gold we aimed at evoking a feeling of abundance and superiority. We also merged the old and the new ways of bringing to the fore traits of Quality and Consistency through fonts that made an “Infinite Movement”, depicting an everlasting dedication of the brand for Quality Products.

Tribe Leaders Spotlight: Martina, speaker, coach and founder of StartWithin
Updated: Jan 26, 2021
She is an internationally renowned award-winning speaker, coach and founder of StartWithin, as well as a citizen of the world.
She was born in the Czech Republic but grew up predominantly in Canada. At the age of ten or so, after several years of living in poverty and underserved communities, she dared to dream big and decided to become “the best human rights lawyer ever.” She set herself up to a classic law career, studying law in Canada’s capital, and was keen to provide more empowerment and equality for the world. She worked in high-level roles in both law and politics, working for the Canadian Senate as well as the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Canada. But, after realising that this was not the only path for her to help people and shape the state of the world, she joined World Merit, an international NGO, and quickly became their sole representative of young global change makers. During her professional world tour as Global Ambassador from 2013 onward, she had the chance to speak at international summits and conferences (including the United Nations and the Summit of the Americas!), facilitated workshops for the youth and mentored young social entrepreneurs to “become the leaders this world so desperately needs.”
Today, she continues to work with world leaders (and leaders-to-be) to create a more positive future for people and the planet, by using her peace and conflict resolution training and extensive knowledge of global and cultural issues.
She has never stopped pushing herself to learn and grow, every day consciously leaning into her own discomfort, in order to evolve.
Martina, tell us about YOU, what do you like doing in your daily life?
I try to be pretty intentional about how I start my day, it really sets me up. I have 6 things I check on every morning.
Enough sleep, morning meditation, reading, writing in my journal, some exercise and gratitude.
That’s my happy formula for a good workday. That doesn’t mean that every single day I manage to do all of the above, it just means I put myself first on my agenda every single morning. It is not about goals to achieve; it is more like an opportunity to love myself better. As leaders we are not very useful if we are not taking care of ourselves first.
Can you summarise what you are currently working on?
I love variety and being of service. On any given day I could be planning for a guest lecture at a university on the state of the world and it’s leadership; penning out a keynote or a workshop; or serving my clients as a coach one-on-one - which I adore too. But, right now my big project is one that is deeply personal. I’ve seen far too many women hold themselves back and not show up for the life that they feel like they could be living. So, I’ve created a very special 6-Week Coaching Program to build Confidence and Courage - just for the ladies! This program is founded on my personal life experience; my background coming from poverty to creating my own path; my coaching and public service background; and a world tour's worth of learning about women, and the obstacles we face in our daily lives that hold us back from being the empowered ladies we so want to be and are capable of being.
It’s about knowing yourself, what you want, and discovering the bravery within to go and do exactly that.
The foundation of the program is to create real change, as always. There is one program running at the moment, and another due to begin in September, with a waiting list currently in place.
I’m also really loving hosting the monthly “Breakfast Club” for Entrepreneurs, every last Tuesday of the month. We come together with other like-minded small business folks and create a safe space for learning, sharing and growing. Every time we build it around a certain business topic and share our challenges, insights and resources. It is very powerful. I would love to see it grow bigger and serve the community better.
What’s your best advice to someone starting a business?
Actually, I slipped and fell into starting my own business. After finishing the world tour as Global Ambassador for World Merit, somebody came to me and wanted to hire me for consulting work. So basically overnight I had to create my company. It’s been five years already with StartWithin and bit by bit I’ve figured it out.
My advice to anyone starting a business is to start off by doing an inner inventory.
The more you know yourself the more you know your business, what you are capable of and what you can offer; understand, where you have to go deeper with strategic learning or personal development and where you have to delegate. No entrepreneur can do every aspect of a business perfectly. That’s part of the challenge, and part of the fun.
What do you find beneficial being a part of Sojoourn?
Hands down, the community; the feeling that I don’t have a reason to do anything alone. For sure there is somebody out there who is or has been going through the same struggle as me. It can be really difficult to make new relationships, especially with the language barrier, so it is reassuring to be part of a community that is welcoming and helpful.
Do you have any advice for people who are moving to Lyon?
It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to move to France, since I saw Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” when I was just a kid. I fell in love with the lifestyle in Provence - all that bread! It’s a dream! haha. My partner and I, we considered a few other cities, did some research, but after our first weekend in Lyon we knew we definitely wanted to move here. We struggled quite a bit with the system of finding and renting out an apartment. Unfortunately, Sojoourn didn’t exist yet when we arrived and they couldn't help us out with finding our home. Having a checklist before moving here would have been great. For example: to know what paperwork we need to fill out and information about the neighbourhoods. And, if I were to do it all again, I would have increased my level of French before arrival. It really is the only language to get things done around here.
I have gone through several at this point, it changes with me. But now I’m really loving and trying to live by is this:
“Wherever you are, be there, and whatever you are doing, do that.”
It is a Buddhism-oriented approach to life, through presence and intention. Mindfulness became more and more meaningful to me over the years. I get the most out of life when I am fully present and really paying attention to what I am doing or where I am.

HARGEISA, 27 October 2009 (Somalilandpress) – As every body aware of, human being are different from in-terms of behaviors, norms, believing and acceptance, it suits our purpose that every one of us likes to clearly stimulate all kind of crucial features that the previously successful people are suited which corresponding to your perspectives on your past, present and future, despite complexity of social related factors which providing an integrated framework that brings use closer to achieving true predictive power for good social behavior system.
Understanding our basic personality profile also helps us to understand clearly defined what sorts of people we are likely to be compatible with. If you are highly extraverted and desire a lot of social stimulation, you may have a hard time living with someone who is highly introverted, finds it difficult to socialize, and prefers solitary activities, because people who are more easily anxious and depressed have to take extra good care of themselves, particularly with regard to making sure their basic needs are met if they are to maintain a good mood and positive outlook during stressful times.
The disagreeable people run the risk if not fully respecting the needs of the other people around them. Easygoing, generous people may find themselves becoming resentful of others, while more self-centered people may find that people are resentful of them. Relationship with someone who is close to you but after a few times you cannot able to meet with that person who is close to you. This is a big issue that how to maintain long term relation ship with your old friends because relationship can play an important role in any filed such as business relation, family relationship, old friends are those who are always with you after the marriage or before the marriage or any other social related activities that you personality need a integrated support which is inevitable to obtain before and aftermath.
We all have a mental picture to periodically evaluate were we are, how we look, what we’re good at, and what our weaknesses might be. We develop this picture over time, starting when we are making privately discussing to your self what you already accomplished and what you are not, to know the term of self-image is very crucial because is used to refer to a person’s mental picture of himself. A lot of our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life experiences. Thus, mental picture which means our self-image contributes to our self-esteem.
Self-esteem is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and people with healthy self-esteem are able to feel good about them, appreciate their own worth, and take pride in their abilities, skills, and accomplishments by ignoring other meaningless evaluation which is not suited to clearly define publicly according Somaliland evaluation basic terms. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they can’t do well in anything.
[ad#Google Adsense (336×280)]
We all experience problems with self-esteem at certain times in our lives especially during our teens when we’re figuring out who we are and where we fit in the social picture images. The good news is that, because everyone’s self-image changes over time, self-esteem is not fixed for life. So if you feel that your self-esteem isn’t functioning well, you can improve it by absorbing all required terms which apparently improves our self esteem standings accordingly.
No one would argue that being in relationships has the potential to cause enormous mental pain and agony. What’s worse is that when we continue to live in such relationships, we rob our lives of the energy and enthusiasm that could have shaped our lives so much differently than what it ultimately becomes because such relationships are in need of serious repair.
Social relationships without human being perspective boundary can be magnificent
Love, trust, and respect uplift our souls, make our lives more fulfilling and meaningful, and make us thankful for our relationships that encompass our credibility which is the over all conscious purposes because we manage the pain and pleasure associated with such relationship and it’s actually quite simple in theory at least. You manage a relationship by actively working on it and by constantly renewing it. If you are even moderately practicing social distinguished criteria, you know how that works and remember; this makes you to nickname a controversial person.
You see, most of us manage relationships in a default mode. That’s the mode that we learn and develop subconsciously while growing up; mostly this scary fact applies to only a small fraction of people because the result of bad relationships can lead to devastating consequences that finally separates the union of a young nation who are generously going to demonstrate further historic or tangible progress in all social human needs aspects.
Eventually, this will intensifies an enormous pressure to stop the most devastating behavior for social impacts because having good communication based on healthy relationship is driven from the Islamic regulation principles that will enables us to solve all undisclosed social relations which confronted us through consultation and mutual understanding against social ethics such as poor communication, misperception, miscalculation as well as anxiety in order to heal completely and it no longer constitutes a sufficiently differentiating factor to clearly instructing what is good and what is bad and the advantage of common senses for our communities and youth. But my major propose behind to write this article is to share my youth collogues to jointly strength adequately the human relationships which is the prime factor that allows every nation to succeed their goals and achievement.
I wish you the strength of all elements

In the past few days, a video has been making rounds online that showed a raccoon opening a raccoon-proof garbage bin in Toronto, Canada. This garbage bin has a circular lid on top that has to be turned to unlatch.
A local from Scarborough posted the video. According to him, he was alerted about the presence of the critter, hence the video. In less than 30 seconds, the raccoon had already successfully opened the bin, which is manufactured by Rehrig Pacific Company.
It was said that the raccoon might have been carefully observing a human on how to open the garbage bin. That is what makes raccoon cool. They learn and then adapt.
You have to do everything to keep your garbage bins secure until they will be picked up. If you have organic waste for disposal, keep them in the freezer first to somehow reduce the smell.
If the garbage can has to be placed outside, make sure you store it in a closed area, such as the garage, shed, or a wooden lock-box. Although bungee cords can be used to hold the can, just make sure you remove the cords in the morning so garbage collectors won’t think twice about picking it up.
2. Do not keep the cans outside overnight.
Because raccoons are nocturnal, it is not a good idea to put the garbage can outside overnight. You have to wait until the morning before you put out the can and prevent those raccoons from getting in.
3. Keep the garbage can clean.
In some cities that have a compost program, food wastes are often segregated in green bins. If you reside in a city that has this program, observe the rules.
It would also be great if you rinse all recyclable garbage before you put them in the bin. Unwashed garbage may only entice wildlife. Plus, it can hurt them. Raccoons and other wildlife may get their paws and heads stuck in broken bottles or pointed cans.
4. Put garbage bins off the ground.
If garbage bins are placed on the ground, raccoons can easily get into them. All they have to do is tip them over and then knock open the lid. If your bins have handles, you can simply hang them from a wall using a bungee cord or a bicycle hook.
Raccoons are great climbers. As a matter of fact, they rarely get trapped inside garbage cans. However, if a raccoon is injured, there are chances when it gets trapped inside the bin. If you suspect a raccoon is in the garbage bin, leave it alone and call for help. SOS Wildlife Control is a reliable name to call.
The animal in question was captured and put down. Also, blood tests have been conducted. The results showed that it was not raccoon rabies. Instead, it was Canine Distemper Virus.
As of the moment, the representative for Toronto Animal Services, Tammy Robinson, clarified there have been no recorded cases of raccoon rabies. But, there could be chances that some of these animals are affected only by Canine Distemper Virus, which subsists within a certain raccoon population.
He said that these creatures may behave violently, especially if they are ill, troubled from their habitat, are being defensive, or feel in jeopardy.
It is easy to distinguish a distempered raccoon. More often, it displays changes in behavior. It seems to walk blindly and experiences seizures. Mucus might also build up around its eyes and nose.
If you notice a raccoon is acting strange, Robinson’s suggest you call 311. If possible, do not get close to it. Do not even attempt to feed it.
She recalled that the raccoon was trying to get into her house last month. It was going in a back and forth motion for more than three hours. The animal’s odd behavior made her decide to call Toronto Animal Services.
She also added the creature’s eyes were filled with pus. Unfortunately, by the time assistance arrived, the raccoon had already left.
As a general rule, sick raccoons should be put to death after being caught. Robinson explained that there is a zero chance of survival for a distempered raccoon. So, the best and most benevolent thing they can do is to euthanize it.
If ever you have a raccoon encounter, Mary Lou Leiher, program director of Toronto Animal Services, has important tips for you.
Observe caution. If a raccoon looks as if it is approaching you, move away. It is not a behavior you should expect from a healthy animal. Also, if you see it walking around in circles and seems like it keeps on tripping over again and again, looking worn out, and have bad discharge from their nose and eyes, the animal is likely to have the symptoms of canine distemper virus.
They mostly hibernate during winter. At this time, they should be spending their time sleeping, but they aren’t really true hibernators. Sometimes, they go out of their shelters and mate.
They prefer high places. By nature, raccoons reside in elevated areas such as trees. But, there are these rare instances when you find them building their nests at the top of a building or even in your home’s attic. Of course, they can do that easily. After all, they are expert climbers.
They can infest your property. If you want them out of your sight, you should be aware of the importance of garbage management. With their decreasing habitat and food sources, these creatures find ways to resolve hunger and be able to survive. That is why if they see piles of garbage, they would not think twice about seeking shelter. Then again, your home could also be a great habitat for them. To deter them, be sure you restrict entry and be sure no food sources are available.
Interestingly, in 2015, Canine Distemper Virus cases rose among the raccoon population in the Greater Toronto Area. Luckily, the outbreak eventually levelled off.

Property Standards for the City of Toronto sets the rules and standards for all its properties. All the property owners are required to strictly adhere to it. Section 9 of Chapter 629 states, “All properties have to be kept free of pests, including rodents and insects.”
Sadly, this is not followed at all times. Here is one such instance where a raccoon from their neighbor’s home has been a menace to a typical resident of Toronto for almost 2 years!
Chris and Christina Fowler have been living in Greenwood, where their home is semi-detached from the neighbor’s house. They have been facing troubles because of raccoons and squirrels invasion.
Raccoons are mammals with grayish fur found in colder regions. They are considered to be dangerous as they can carry several diseases like rabies.
The neighbors seem to have holes in their roof through which these creatures get into the Fowlers’ house easily. The pest trouble has increased to such an alarming level that raccoon feces and tracks can be seen everywhere. The couple, along with their daughter, has resorted to sleeping on a bed in their office across the master bedroom, that is if they are able to sleep at all.
When hearing them scratch and run around the walls of the house became a daily nuisance, the family then moved down to the basement for nights.
Abiding by the law, Chris has complained to the authorities a number of times since the year 2016 when this problem began. As per the investigation services in the city, a 14-day appeal period and thereafter a 21-days period to comply with the order is given to the property owners. Failing this, the city can do whatever work that needs to be done to resolve the problem and pass on the cost to the owner’s taxes or take them to the provincial court. $ 50,000 is the maximum fine if the owner fails to comply with the order.
You cannot simply go to your neighbor’s house and fix something which causes an inconvenience to you. There is a standard procedure wherein you can take the city’s permission or take the person to court to resolve the issue which can take months and is an expensive process too.
Studies show that about 10 percent of the property owners vacate their houses due to troubles with their neighbors.
But this is not an option for the Fowlers. They are not ready to leave their family home after living there for 16 years. They have too many memories associated with the place to leave it and move elsewhere just because the neighbor is unwilling to look after their property.
This is the reason why we advise our clients not to wait till the problem gets worse or out of control. It is important that you call our professionals immediately for appropriate and quick actions.
SOS Wildlife Control is a reputed and reliable company which provides pest control and raccoon removal in Toronto and the GTA region. Our team of experienced, qualified, and trained raccoon removal technicians will help you get rid of all your the pest. They will provide the best possible solution to all your wildlife-related problems. We are available 24*7 for your assistance. Do not hesitate to contact us.

Raccoons are aggressive creatures that can transfer sicknesses to individuals through bites, scratches and even indirect contact. Since it isn’t unprecedented for us to now and again encounter these furry creatures around our homes, particularly during the night as they hunt for food, it is vital to take care while in their presence and use precautions when handling materials they’ve come in contact with.
Held up by masked bandits i’m Mateus
Pisano with CityNews in Midtown and if you bank at
this RBC branch here on st. Clair
Oakwood you’ll notice that you can’t get
in that’s because it’s temporarily
closed and it’s not because of
construction but because of a break-in
enter and it’s believed that the
suspects are still inside and they’re
not armed or dangerous they can get into
your garbage bins they can break into
your homes and now apparently they can
get inside a bank and no they’re not
there to make a deposit a family of raccoons broke into the ceiling of this
RBC branch on August 23rd the branch
closed its door is the same day they
remain shut ever since a copy of a
letter sent to customers has been
circulating on social media with the
branch apologizing for the inconvenience
and redirecting customers to alternative
locations nearby however not everyone
was aware of the situation from what
yes the bank is being held up by furry
masked bandits raccoons the bank is
occupied what are your thoughts on that
well I’m sure that they’re not going to
steal very much
yeah I don’t know what they’d be able to
do with the money and I’ve lived in
Toronto all my life I’ve never heard of
yeah and so what goes through your mind
thinking about something like this I
guess it kind of makes you want to think
like what are they doing with the money
that these people are making this place
should be fixed a long time ago so why
is it taking so long to find out we
caught up with a representative from RBC
we’re almost at the end of September why
is it taking so long to reopen well as
everyone knows raccoons do cause a little bit of damage but this is an older building and the ceilings are
actually over 20 feet high so we had to
build a scaffolding on the inside so
that we’re able to get to the very large
ceiling tiles that are above it’s a
little different than fixing the roof is
a screen anything against them now this
isn’t the first time we brought you a
story about raccoons breaking into
things or places just ask our colleague
Roger Peterson he dealt with a family of
raccoons himself when they broke into
his home according to this expert we’re
seeing more cases like this because well
raccoons are getting more accustomed to
their surroundings raccoons are actually
very extremely trainable right they were
us challenging them as a human being
challenging raccoons it only makes them
so there they’re gonna basically try to
find a way to live within us and and
they won’t the one just go away now RDC
tells us that they’re doing their best
to speed up the process and they hope to
reopen the branch by the end of October
now we reached out to the raccoons to
find out if they are planning to leave
anytime soon they were unavailable for
in Midtown I’m in Cisco so no city news
There are animals that hibernate and go on to sleep that lasts nearly the whole of winter. In this hibernation period, their body temperature drops and their breathing slows down along with their heart rate.
The animals that hibernate help conserve energy. The main reason behind the animals hibernating is the unavailability of food, and these animals hibernate until food becomes available again. The amount of time an animal hibernates depends on the specific animal, climate, and many other factors.
HOW DO RACCOON’S ADAPT DURING WINTER?
Raccoons don’t actually hibernate. They do hunker down, however, when it gets cold. But before the winter sets in, they eat as much as they can to accumulate fat and their coats get thicker to withstand the cold weather.
Raccoons can be especially pestiferous as they hunt for food. They tend to turn over garbage cans and dig up lawns looking for grubs. This can be a good time to track down raccoons in your yard, before they settle into their dens and before young are born.
WHERE DO RACCOONS HIBERNATE DURING WINTER?
In the extent to the seriousness of the winter raccoons in colder atmospheres develop thicker layers. The mix of physical adjustments and behavioral changes help raccoons flourish. Raccoons fill out for the winter on oak seeds throughout the fall. Raccoons lose around 50% of their weight before the end of hibernation. Raccoons have clumps of peculiar trees where they like to rest and they go to an alternate one consistently. Once in awhile, they take advantage of the ground tunnels of different creatures to rest in winter. They don’t generally rest alone, however, have others with them.
RACCOON’S SLEEPING HABITS
Raccoons’ sleeping habits are paradoxical to that of humans’. Raccoons are nocturnal and are active at night when we are sleeping tight. So our chances of tracking their movements are not that great. But if there is a forest or a bush near your house, that is most likely where raccoons go before sunrise to find a suitable place to sleep.
To capture the exact location where a raccoon sleeps is not an easy task. When it comes to making a den, raccoons are a real slouch. These brutes are not in the habit of building their own dens. They find it more conducive to use dens made by other animals or any kind of hole or shelter they may find in nature. They are quite opportunistic and can quickly adapt to any environment.
Raccoons may be found snoozing in arched trees, caves, cloven rock, burrows of other animals, abandoned nests, piles of wood, shaft underneath houses or decks, shed, relinquished cars, abandoned buildings and so on. When the weather is milder they may sleep in large forks in trees or even on the ground. And it’s not unconventional for a raccoon to switch their dwelling almost every night.
During the winter when food is sparse, the raccoon does not hibernate but slumber for extended periods when the weather is unfavorable. The animals live on fat reserves and lose up to half their body weight during this period. Raccoons are adaptable when it comes to finding a home and will live anywhere such as tree stump hollows, caves, woodchuck burrows, deserted buildings or attics of deserted buildings.
The key reason for the animal’s success in burgeoning is the flexibility of their diet. Using their dexterous paws, the raccoon is an adroit fisherman, snatching small fish and crayfish from rivers and streams. It is an opportunistic eater and will eat whatever is bountiful in its spectrum. In some areas, fruit and plant material makes up the bulk of the animal’s diet. In others, small mammals, amphibians, and insects are more common food. In downtown areas, where wild food is less trivial, the animals turn to humans for food, often raiding trash cans. Size of the animal and its adroit fingers mean it can pull over the cans and even pull off the lids in search of food.
Raccoons can hold against some meat eaters and are able enough to fight off animals almost twice their size with brutal grit. The main defense the animal has in avoiding most predators is its nocturnal lifestyle. The ability to climb quickly also helps to escape ground-dwelling carnivores. The animals do fall prey to a range of predators.
Increase In Activity
Mating season begins January through February for raccoons. Homeowners often complain that they hear animals fighting in their attic, and while that is a possibility, it is much more likely this pandemonium is caused by breeding raccoons. Kits usually take about 9 months to mature to adulthood, so come November or December, litters born early in the year are ready to venture out to look for den sites and start families of their own. This means that there is a rise in the number of adult raccoons seeking shelter just as the cold season begins. If you know there are raccoon in your attic please do not remove them yourself, there are strict laws by the city of Toronto against you removing baby raccoons from your home. If you do find raccoons during baby season call your local raccoon removal professionals for assistance and advice.
If you notice any bizarre activity on your property, notably footprints in the snow on your roof, catastrophe to the exterior of your house, or thumping noises on the ceiling, there’s a possibility your attic has become home to raccoons. Between tearing holes in your roof, destroying insulation, urinating and defecating, and carrying any number of diseases, these animals are capable of causing a great deal of bereavement. While it’s understandable that raccoons are just trying to make it through until the spring, they pose a danger to your home. Your health and safety are far too prized to ignore. Contact a licensed raccoon removal company right away if you experience any of the above gauges.
Overall – Do Raccoons Hibernate?
So, when the question asked “Do raccoons hibernate?” the quick answer is No. However, their behavior is tremendously inveigled by outside temperatures so depending on where you live you may or may not spot them in the winters.

A license is needed if you want to use the music for anything else than just listening for your pleasure. Typical uses are
freestyling over a beat
licensing music for use in TV or for a movie
remixing or use audio samples
What are the license options and what are the differences between those?
We offer up to 5 license templates (Basic, Premium, Track Out, Unlimited, Exclusive) and it's up to the artist which ones he/she wants to make available. Each license comes with different perks. In general, the higher the price, the better the perks.
You can click on each feature on the left side of the comparison chart above to learn more about each one.
When will I get the track I purchased?
You can download all related files immediately after your purchase. We also email you a one-time download link for a download later.
How can I remove the audio tag from the track?
A "tagged beat" is a demonstration version of an instrumental that contains distinct audio watermarks that typically play throughout the entire track. The purpose of a producer tagging his/her instrumental is to prevent piracy and to encourage serious recording artists to purchase a license.
To get a tag-free audio please make sure you purchase a license which features "untagged audio".
I purchased a $1 download, why is the beat still tagged?
Beats purchased for $1 in our store are meant for streaming and demo use only, just like downloads from iTunes store or Amazon music.
To license a beat without audio tag and to use in a professional manner please buy a license from this page. Usually those are $25 and up.
What is a stem / trackout file?
A Stem file is an audio file that contains a track split into several musical elements: A drums stem, a bassline stem, a harmony stem, and a lead stem for example.
The Stem file also usually includes the original stereo master of the track for standard playback.
Why would I need a stem / trackout file?
A trackout file gives you much better control. Imagine you rap over a beat and you realize the percussions take the focus away from your vocals. With a trackout file
you can simply tone down the percussion and the focus is now on the vocals. With a trackout file you have much more flexibility and a whole different level of control.

As the NFL preseason charges ahead, teams are grappling with the challenging task of paring down their expansive 90-player training camp rosters to the final 53 that will take the field for the upcoming season. This annual ritual, marked by tough decisions and potential game-changing outcomes, has coaches, players, and fans on edge as they await the verdict on who makes the cut.
Last year’s dramatics serve as a poignant reminder of the high-stakes nature of these selections. The Dallas Cowboys, for instance, found themselves in a quarterback conundrum as they waived Cooper Rush during the final roster cuts, only to stash him on the practice squad. Little did anyone know that Rush’s journey would take an unexpected turn. By September, he was elevated to the active roster and swiftly seized the opportunity, boasting an impressive 4-1 record as a starter in the 2022 season. This unforeseen success showcased the delicate balance teams must strike between releasing players and safeguarding their potential impact on the field.
Suggested Read: Gridiron Greats: Ranking the Top 10 NFL Quarterbacks of All Time
The NFL’s landscape is one where tough choices are inevitable, as promising players often end up on the chopping block due to the constraints of roster size and other considerations. These final roster decisions can have a substantial impact on the trajectory of a team’s season. The realization that a single decision, whether to cut a player or retain them, can potentially alter the course of a campaign underscores the gravity of the choices that lie ahead.
As teams meticulously evaluate their options, a multitude of factors come into play. Depth in various positions, recent player performances, injury concerns, and salary cap implications all contribute to the delicate calculus of roster construction. Some players, though possessing significant talents, might find themselves on the wrong end of these evaluations, prompting difficult decisions that could reshape their professional paths.
With the season opener looming on September 7th, all eyes are on the NFL’s front offices and coaching staff as they navigate the intricate process of shaping their squads for the coming battles. The anticipation is palpable, as fans and analysts alike eagerly await the unveiling of the final rosters and the subsequent unveiling of each team’s destiny.
In this high-stakes environment, the fine line between a seemingly inconsequential roster move and a franchise-altering decision is vividly apparent. The stories of players like Cooper Rush serve as a poignant reminder that the journey from roster bubble to gridiron glory is filled with unpredictable twists, and that sometimes, the most unexpected cuts can lead to the most remarkable victories.

Rick Pitino has signed a six-year deal to become the new coach at St. John's. Pitino will leave Iona after three seasons, helping them make the NCAA tournament twice.
The Hall of Fame returned to college basketball in 2020 after his controversial and tumultuous exit from Louisville three years earlier. He remains one of the best coaches in the nation despite his age and past issues.
Pitino has an overall record of 711-290 with two NCAA title wins in 1996 for Kentucky and 2013 for Louisville. However, it should be noted that Pitino and the Cardinals had to vacate their 2013 championship due to the corruption scandal that rocked college basketball in 2017.
Apart from the corruption scandal in 2017 with Louisville, Rick Pitino was also investigated early in his career in the 1970s. Pitino, who was coaching Hawaii at the time, was placed on probation by the NCAA for several violations.
There was also an extortion attempt on Pitino in 2009 by Karen Cunagin Sypher. She was the wife of Tim Sypher, who was Louisville's equipment manager. While Karen was found guilty, Pitino admitted to having a sexual relationship with her in 2003 that resulted in pregnancy.
Karen wanted to get an abortion but did not have the insurance to pay for it. Pitino gave her $3,000 to get the abortion done, and the coach proceeded to make a public apology for his extramarrital affair.
"I do want to say that the past seven months have been very difficult on the people I love," Pitino said. "I am here today because I personally apologize to my family every single day. I let them down with my indiscretion six years ago, and I'm sorry for that and I tell them that every day."
Rick Pitino reveals plans for St. John's programme
Rick Pitino has huge plans for St. John's after getting hired as their new coach, replacing Mike Anderson, who was in charge for four seasons. St. John's was once a college basketball powerhouse but has not made it to the NCAA tournament since 2015.
Pitino told the New York Post in an interview that he wants to take the Red Storm back to their glory days under Lou Carnesecca. He also revealed his plans to make St. John's a top-20 program in the nation.
"I want to make it a top-20 programme," Pitino said. "I want to go back to Loois' when they were a perennial power, not only in the Big East, but the entire country. I wouldn’t even consider taking it if I didn't think that was a distinct possibility."

As the highly anticipated Test series between Pakistan and England approaches, former England captain and cricket commentator Nasser Hussain has issued a stern warning to the visiting team: “Don’t underestimate Pakistan.” Scheduled to take place from October 7 to October 28, the three-match series will see both teams competing in Multan and Rawalpindi, where Hussain believes Pakistan will be looking to restore their reputation after a challenging period in international cricket.
The first Test match is set to be held at the Multan Cricket Stadium from October 7 to October 11, followed by the second Test at the same venue from October 15 to October 19. The series will then move to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium for the third and final match, commencing on October 24. This series is part of England’s return to Pakistan after a long hiatus, making it a crucial contest for both teams.
Pakistan’s recent form has been inconsistent, with underwhelming performances in all formats. This includes a disappointing campaign in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, leading to widespread criticism and a reshuffling of leadership roles within the team. Babar Azam, Pakistan’s star batsman, has struggled to make an impact in Test cricket recently, going eight matches without a half-century and stepping down from his role as the white-ball captain.
However, according to Hussain, this unpredictability makes Pakistan a dangerous opponent. “Pakistan are always a mercurial side that have ups and downs, but at the moment, they’re on a real low, in all formats. But you’d be a fool to say that going to Pakistan and winning is an easy job to do,” Hussain stated.
While Pakistan grapples with internal challenges, England under Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum has been playing a bold and aggressive brand of Test cricket, popularly referred to as ‘Bazball.’ This strategy has brought England considerable success in the past year. Nevertheless, Hussain emphasized that England must be cautious, as the conditions in Pakistan are different from what they are used to.
“They’re a very proud cricketing nation. They won’t like the slump that they’re in, and they will still be a force at home. I think all eyes will be on Pakistan and whether they can up their game, because I think we sort of know what we’re going to get from Ben Stokes and his team,” Hussain said, highlighting the pressure on the hosts to turn things around.
Playing in Pakistan presents unique challenges for visiting teams. Multan and Rawalpindi are known for their spin-friendly pitches, where turn and bounce can vary significantly over the course of a Test match. With England’s reliance on pace bowlers like James Anderson and Stuart Broad, adapting to these conditions will be critical for their success.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has always relied on its spinners, and the likes of Nauman Ali and Abrar Ahmed could be key players in these venues. The inclusion of Jason Gillespie as Pakistan’s new head coach alongside Shan Masood’s captaincy will be under scrutiny as they look to build a strong strategy around spin and exploiting home conditions.

Ruby is the true birthstone of Capricorn. It adorned the ancient breastplate of the High Priest of Israel and it was prized by Alexander the Great for its magical properties. Ruby is one of the few precious gems that is specifically named in the Bible, its value coming second only to wisdom. Ruby is the supreme gemstone for career success and for anchoring the energy required to achieve greatness in one’s field. It is a gemstone of chieftains and is ideal for those who aspire to positions of high rank, honor, wealth, power and responsibility.
Ruby’s energy divinely develops one’s character, a process which is an unconditional prerequisite for master-level bestowal and elevation. Exposure to it gradually raises discipline, temperance, integrity, maturity, excellence in behavior and noble constancy. As it raises a master’s qualities on the inner plane its energy orchestrates elevation of rank, position and status on the outer plane. Ruby resonates with the divine masculine aspect of God, it enables us to pass the great tests of time and it makes a superb choice for new fathers.
Ruby, known famously as the ‘Lord of the Gems’, is supreme for the restoration and elevation of personal honor and public reputation. It is a wise choice for those in highly public positions and for those who wish to build a stronger, more respected life through ever-increasing name value. For those who feel lost in their career path, ruby has a magical way of aligning a person to their most optimal career development path at any given time, including in a spiritual sense. Ruby will guide you to your career foothills and then it will power you to your peak.
Ruby works very strongly through the earth element in terms of fortunate attraction, valuable development and magical function. This is why it’s such an excellent choice for those struggling with earth element related situations connected to character deficits, economic scarcity and lack of professional success. It combines very well with garnet and Lemurian crystal to rapidly improve material and professional conditions. When combined with Moldavite the energy of ruby integrates personal destiny into one’s career development.
There are times in life when we must rise to great occasions, when we must dig deep within ourselves to answer a monumental task, duty or challenge that spans over lengths of time. Ruby was made for such seasons that we can make legendary success of them while discovering the master within. Ruby instills divine levels of endurance, discipline and determination that are required to achieve pinnacle, legacy-cementing successes that last for lifetimes. Ruby is a legend maker that will have you feeling as strong and solid as a mountain.
Ruby offers universal benefits to all signs but it is especially excellent for those with distinct Capricorn energy as with a Capricorn sun, moon or ascendant. Personally, I think that ruby is priceless for those with an empty 10th house, those without any Capricorn placements and for those with problematic Capricorn retrogrades. Ruby’s energy will powerfully reinforce any type of Capricorn related deficit while also offering tremendous protection and advantage against deadly Pluto as it continues to transit Capricorn.
If someone has beneficial placements in Capricorn, as with Venus, Mars or Jupiter, ruby’s energy will work to bring out higher, more beneficial expression of those energy-potentials. We have used ruby successfully for years, especially in combination with large Lemurian crystal. We will always remember the way that ruby helped us to ‘level up’ from certain plateaus of wealth, performance and position. We will always be loyal to ruby for what is has meant to our lives. We recognize it as one of the most sacred in the mineral kingdom which God designed.
This impressive, alluring was pendant fashioned out of natural ruby and sterling silver. We ship worldwide with tracking and insurance.
May your ruby experiences be Biblical,

Some people believe that testing for Sexually Transmitted Diseases is one way to avoid STDs. Although it is one way to reduce the risk of being affected by STD, it is not the most reliable way. Even with the practice of safe sex, use of condoms and dams, STDs can still be a risk. Due to this, it is important that you take full responsibility for your sexual health.
Sometimes, one can be infected with STDs, and may not know it. It helps to be extra careful when it comes to sexual health. To do this, it requires proper screening of HIV tests and other STD tests. STI Clinic London is there to help with STD screening. You can simply reach out to us today.
Getting a clean bill of health after your regular visit to the doctor does not necessarily mean that you do not have to worry about STDs. That is a very dangerous assumption because it can lead to an outbreak of disease at dangerous, perhaps fatal stages.
We at www.sticlinic.london have taken the time to explain to you why you might not be aware that you have STD.
This is the primary reason why people may not know when they have STDs. This is because they assume that they have already been tested for STDs, when in fact they have not been tested. They assume that HIV test and other STD tests are part of normal routine medical tests. Unfortunately, this is not true. Doctors will not usually test you for STDs unless you request for it.
To be sure of your sexual health status, you must inform your doctor on the list of tests you want to be carried out. However, you should remember that the STD test results will probably come out negative, only for the ones you were tested for.
Specifically, there is no actual right test. However, depending on some factors like circumstances and sometimes, population, there are tests that can be less accurate. STI clinic in London will ensure that every STD test results have been subjected to an accurate method of diagnosis.
There are some STDs that do not manifest symptoms as soon as you get infected, and hence cannot be detected at its early stages. A good example of such an STD is syphilis. These STDs can lie dormant in the body for an extended period before they begin to show symptoms or are triggered by a factor.
The reason why some STDs cannot be detected during HIV tests and other STD tests is that, in most cases, the pathogen itself is not being hunted for. Instead, the antibody response is the one under scrutiny. If these antibodies are not found, it is assumed that you are not infected. The truth is, it takes time for antibodies to develop in response to infection by a pathogen.
Due to the fact that they are not common, or that they do not cause fatal problems if not treated, some STDs are not tested commercially. In some instances, doctors do not bother testing for them because they are uncommon. A good example is Molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum contagiosum is not commonly tested during HIV tests and other STD tests because it is assumed that whoever is infected will experience symptoms and that it usually does not leave any dangerous side effects.
Also, other STDs like rectal chlamydia or anal cancer are not usually tested for because they are not so common, or because the doctor might be uncomfortable asking questions that could determine if you are at risk.
There is always the problem of false-positive results and false-negative results when it comes to STD test results. As a result of this, a false negative result can lead you to believe that you do not have any STDs, when in fact you might. The outcome of STD test results are dependent on certain factors, the population included.
Although there are measures taken to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis of STDs, the issue of false positives and negatives are still to be considered. The primary thing to worry about is the disease you want to test for, and the test or diagnosis used for it.
Regular conduction of HIV tests and other STD tests at a private STD clinic remains important in detecting and preventing STDs. However, it doesn't guarantee that you will have negative STD test results all the time. The bright side to it is that it makes it more likely to detect an STD you might have.
With the right precautions taken, your chances of having STDs are almost none. Keeping this in mind will help you make better choices on staying healthy. Give us a call today on 020 71830649 to book appointments with us.

Protetyka stomatologiczna polega na odtwarzaniu prawidłowej budowy całego uzębienia oraz usprawnieniu jego działania. Wyróżnia się dwa rodzaje uzupełnień protetycznych - stałe oraz ruchome. Różnica między nimi polega na sposobie utrzymania w jamie ustnej. Pierwsze z nich są założone na stałe - „przyklejone” do pozostałych zębów, korzeni lub implantów. Z kolei protezy ruchome Pacjent może samodzielnie wyjąć z ust w dowolnym momencie.
W placówce Para-Dent wykonujemy różnego typu protezy:
- korony porcelanowe,
- mosty tradycyjne,
- mosty adhezyjne,
- wkłady lane
- protezy szkieletowe,
- nylonowe częściowe i całkowite,
- protezy nakładowe
Jak dbać o jamę ustną w czasie noszenia protezy zębowej?
Noszenie protezy zębowej, niezależnie od tego, czy jest to model ruchomy czy stały, wiąże się z obowiązkiem utrzymywania optymalnej higieny jamy ustnej. Ważne jest bowiem, aby dziąsła, na których spiera się proteza, zachowały dobrą kondycję. Dlatego też konieczne jest stosowanie odpowiedniej pasty.
Do dokładnego mycia dziąseł i podniebienia warto wybrać odpowiednią szczoteczkę, która ułatwia skuteczne usuwanie drobnoustrojów i resztek pokarmowych, a przy tym nie podrażnia dziąseł i nie prowadzi do powstawania uszkodzeń nabłonka. Natomiast przy montowanych implantach dobrze jest używać irygatora oraz płynu do płukania jamy ustnej, który zawiera chlorheksydynę działająca antyseptycznie oraz antybakteryjnie.
Samą protezę należy myć mydłem lub specjalnymi płynami do protez. Preparaty tego typu zapewniają jej czystość i świeżość, a ponadto wykazują działanie antybakteryjne. Ich dodatkową zaletą jest to, że nie rysują powierzchni protezy.

THE WEEK ON WALL STREET
A jump in yields sparked by a more aggressive sounding Federal Reserve sent the market lower to start the new year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.29%, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 declined 1.87%. The Nasdaq Composite index was hardest hit, dropping 4.53% for the week. The MSCI EAFE index, which tracks developed overseas stock markets, slipped 0.55%.1,2,3
THE TECH WRECK
The perception of a more hawkish Fed put a hard stop to the year’s positive start and pushed bond yields higher and stocks into a broad retreat.
Technology and other high-valuation shares were particularly hard hit by rising yields. Even the larger-capitalization technology companies with strong cash flows and profits were damaged. As yields trend higher, investors are questioning if these companies can lead the market in 2022. Fueling this decline was a four-day sell-off of technology companies by hedge funds that, in dollar terms, represented the highest level in more than ten years. Stocks continued to struggle into the final trading day, unsettled by a renewed climb in yields and an ambiguous employment report.4
THE FED’S SURPRISE
Minutes of December’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting were released last week and it revealed a more hawkish Fed than investors had been expecting. One surprise was that the first hike in interest rates could occur as early as March. Another, and perhaps more consequential, surprise was the idea of beginning a “balance sheet run-off” by the Fed following the first hike in the federal funds rate.5
A balance sheet run-off means that maturing bonds won’t be replaced with new bonds, the result of which is a smaller Fed balance sheet. Many investors view this step as removing liquidity from the system, a departure from market expectations that the balance sheet would remain flat during the Fed’s pivot to monetary normalization.

Jak strukturovat aktivity třídy Family Tree
Vlastní šablony lze navrhovat různými způsoby. Návrh šablony může záviset na faktorech, jako je účel aktivity, věk a úroveň dovedností studentů a konkrétní software nebo nástroje použité k vytvoření šablony. Některé šablony mohou obsahovat jednoduchý strom s mezerami pro jména a data, zatímco jiné mohou mít propracovanější návrhy s prostorem pro fotografie nebo ilustrace členů rodiny.
Existuje několik kreativních způsobů, jak prezentovat aktivity rodokmenu na šablonách a pracovních listech, například:
- Používejte různé tvary: Namísto tradičního tvaru stromu zkuste k reprezentaci rodokmenu použít různé tvary, jako je dům nebo srdce.
- Použít barvy: Zkuste použít různé barvy k reprezentaci různých generací nebo větví. To může učinit grafy rodokmenu vizuálně přitažlivými a mnohem snazšími pro pochopení.
- Přidat obrázky: Přidejte obrázky ke jménům a příbuzným členů rodiny, aby to bylo poutavější a personalizované.

Často kladené otázky o pracovních listech rodokmenu
Jaké funkce je třeba vzít v úvahu při vytváření šablony listu rodokmenu?
Když vytváříte šablony volných listů rodokmenu, je důležité vzít v úvahu velikost rodiny, počet generací, typy vztahů a návrh šablony. Šablona by měla být snadno čitelná a sledovatelná a měla by mít prostor pro studenty, aby vyplnili informace o své rodině.
Čeho by se měli učitelé vyvarovat při zařazování činností s rodokmenem ve třídě?
Při přiřazování činností rodokmenu ve třídě by se učitelé měli vyvarovat domněnek o rodinných strukturách studentů nebo tomu, aby byla aktivita povinná pro všechny studenty. Učitelé by měli být citliví na skutečnost, že někteří studenti nemusí mít tradiční rodinné struktury nebo se nemusí cítit dobře, když mluví o své rodinné historii. Kromě toho by se učitelé neměli ptát studentů, aby sdíleli osobní nebo citlivé informace o svých rodinách, pokud nezískali souhlas rodičů.
Jaké jsou různé způsoby navrhování šablon rodokmenu?
Existují různé způsoby, jak navrhnout šablony rodokmenu. Návrh šablony může záviset na faktorech, jako je účel aktivity, věk a úroveň dovedností studentů a konkrétní software nebo nástroje použité k vytvoření šablony. Některé šablony mohou obsahovat jednoduchý strom s mezerami pro jména a data, zatímco jiné mohou mít propracovanější návrhy s prostorem pro fotografie nebo ilustrace členů rodiny. Pro učitele je důležité, aby při navrhování šablon rodokmenu zvážili potřeby svých studentů a učební cíle dané aktivity.

Once upon a time, in a magical forest so bright, Lived Der kleine Igel, who loved the starlight. He waddled and pitter-pattered through the night, Hoping to catch a glimpse of the sparkling light.
In the midst of his search, he heard a soft, sweet sound, It was a chorus of crickets chirping all around. Guided by their symphony, he skipped and hopped, Until he reached the clearing where the starlight popped.
Suddenly, he saw something shimmering and bright, It was Sternenlicht, a friendly firefly, such a beautiful sight. With his wings all aglow, as if from wishes above, He danced around Der kleine Igel, spreading joy and love.
They giggled and played, as friends often do, Der kleine Igel and Sternenlicht, a merry, magical two. They danced in circles, like a whirligig unfurled, Spinning and twirling, in a joyful, glowing swirl.
As the night grew late, Der kleine Igel gave a big yawn, He knew it was time for the starry dance to be gone. Sternenlicht whispered, 'Fear not, my dear friend, The stars are always with you, until the very end.'
Homeward bound, Der kleine Igel knew in his heart, That the starlight and friendship would never truly depart. So he curled up in his burrow, with a smile so bright, Dreaming of adventures in the starry, sparkling night.
And from that night on, Der kleine Igel found delight, In the shimmering starlight, so magnificently bright. With Sternenlicht in his heart, he slept oh so tight, In the magic of the forest, under the stars' guiding light.

UNDRR needed strategic communications and digital production in the lead-up to and during WTAD, including the development of a campaign setting out the importance of increasing access to early systems under the hashtag #GetToHighGround.
The campaign needed to bring together community stakeholders across high-risk disaster areas, including coastal regions in the Pacific islands, and emphasise the importance of early warning systems in the detection of disasters.
It was critical that the seventh year of WTAD emphasised the crucial role that multi-hazard early warning systems as well as disaster risk information and assessments have in reducing the likelihood of catastrophes, preventing fatalities and reducing the material and financial effects of hazardous occurrences in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, an international agreement that was adopted in March 2015.

Warszawa jest jednym z najważniejszych ośrodków biznesowych w Polsce. Rozwinięta infrastruktura logistyczna, bogate zaplecze uniwersyteckie i stabilizacja gospodarcza od lat przyciągają tu inwestorów z całego świata.
Przedsiębiorcy, którzy poszukują dobrej okazji do ulokowania swoich środków, mają w czym wybierać – warszawski rynek nieruchomości komercyjnych stale się rozwija. Czy inwestycje w powierzchnie biurowe, magazyny albo punkty handlowe wciąż są opłacalne?
Atrakcyjność inwestycyjna stolicy – dlaczego Warszawa przyciąga właścicieli biznesów?
Stolica kraju nad Wisłą jest uważana za dobre miejsce do życia, pracy oraz inwestowania. W Warszawie osiedlają się mieszkańcy różnych zakątków Polski, a także obywatele innych państw, którzy szukają tu szans na rozwój zawodowy lub ulokowanie kapitału. Stolica niezmiennie zdobywa czołowe miejsca w prestiżowych konkursach określających atrakcyjność inwestycyjną. Warszawa niedawno zwyciężyła w rankingu fDi Intelligence „European Cities and Regions of the Future 2024” dla miast z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej.
Warszawa, jako największy ośrodek biznesowy w kraju, przyciąga uwagę międzynarodowych firm. Stopa bezrobocia utrzymująca się na niskim poziomie świadczy o tym, że stołeczny rynek pracy jest stabilny, a otoczenie sprzyja podejmowaniu nowych inwestycji. Dynamiczny rozwój infrastruktury pozwala na wzrost zatrudnienia w różnych sektorach. Warszawa zachowuje stabilną sytuację gospodarczą, dzięki czemu przedsiębiorcy uważają to miasto za atrakcyjne środowisko biznesowe.
Inwestorzy zainteresowani nieruchomościami komercyjnymi mogą liczyć na ciekawe okazje, różnorodną ofertę lokali na sprzedaż oraz owocną współpracę z agencjami nieruchomości. Nie należy jednak zapominać o tym, że warszawski rynek lokali komercyjnych przeżywa swoje wzloty i upadki, dlatego przed rozpoczęciem jakiejkolwiek inwestycji należy dokładnie przeanalizować bieżącą sytuację w danej branży.
Jakie trendy dominują na warszawskim rynku biurowym?
Warszawa jest dominującym rynkiem biurowym w Polsce, zarówno pod względem podaży, jak i popytu. W pierwszym kwartale 2024 roku w stolicy wynajęto ponad 139 000 m2 powierzchni biurowej. Z danych zgromadzonych przez Brookfield Partners wynika, że w 2023 roku największymi zasobami całkowitej powierzchni biurowej dysponowały dzielnice:
- Śródmieście – 2 380 000 m2,
- Mokotów – 1 670 000 m2,
- Wola – 1 330 000 m2,
- Ochota i Włochy – 1 300 000 m2,
- Praga Północ, Południe i Targówek – 417 000 m2.
Eksperci CBRE przewidują, że w bieżącym roku popyt w branży wzrośnie o 10-15%. Bardzo ważna będzie jakość powierzchni biurowych – obiekty o gorszym standardzie są narażone na niskie obłożenie. Największym powodzeniem cieszą się powierzchnie biurowe w budynkach, które uzyskały zielone certyfikaty. W minionym roku w Warszawie zaobserwowano lekki wzrost poziomu stawek czynszów najmu, jednak podwyżki dotyczyły głównie nowych budynków w atrakcyjnych lokalizacjach.
W 2023 roku liczba inwestycji na krajowym rynku biurowym zdecydowanie zmalała – zaobserwowano niemal pięciokrotny spadek względem 2022 roku. Inwestorzy ograniczają swoją aktywność ze względu na wysokie stopy procentowe, restrykcyjne warunki kredytowania, a także niepewność w ujęciu makroekonomicznym. Druga połowa 2024 roku może przynieść ożywienie w branży, ponieważ ekonomiści oczekują spowolnienia inflacji oraz obniżenia stóp procentowych w strefie euro.
Sektor handlowy – jakie zmiany przyniosą najbliższe lata?
2023 rok był okresem wzrostu dla krajowego sektora handlu. Koniunktura na rynku uległa wyraźniej poprawie, a obroty centrów handlowych powróciły do poziomów sprzed pandemii. Warto zauważyć, że w ciągu ostatnich czterech lat na polskim rynku nie powstał żaden obiekt o powierzchni przekraczającej 40 000 m2. Ostatnią dużą inwestycją w stolicy była modernizacja centrum handlowego Fort Wola.
Analitycy z Knight Frank zaznaczają, że rynek handlowy w tak dużej aglomeracji, jak Warszawa jest ustabilizowany i dojrzały, a liczba lokalizacji z dobrymi okazjami inwestycyjnymi jest dziś mocno ograniczona. W najbliższych latach w stolicy będą dominować modernizacje i rozbudowy, a nowe obiekty będą powstawać raczej w mniejszych ośrodkach miejskich, gdzie rynek nie jest jeszcze nasycony. Ekonomiści prognozują za to wzrost sprzedaży detalicznej i spadek współczynnika pustostanów w centrach handlowych.
Perspektywy rozwoju stołecznego rynku magazynowego
Warszawa oraz jej okolice to największy obszar koncentracji obiektów magazynowych w Polsce. Pod koniec 2023 roku powierzchnia magazynowa na tych terenach wynosiła około 6,4 mln m2, co stanowiło 20% krajowych zasobów. Stołeczny rynek magazynowy sukcesywnie powiększa swoje rozmiary, notując rokroczny wzrost w wysokości 12%. Kluczowe ośrodki logistyczne w regionie warszawskim to:
- Błonie – 2 800 000 m2 powierzchni magazynowych,
- Ożarów Mazowiecki – 460 000 m2,
- Pruszków 440 000 m2,
- Michałowice 400 000 m2,
- Brwinów 380 000 m2.
W tym roku popyt na wynajem powierzchni magazynowych będzie się utrzymywał na wysokim poziomie i prawdopodobnie zacznie rosnąć pod wpływem ożywienia w sektorze przemysłowym. Tylko garstka przedsiębiorców decyduje się na spekulacyjną budowę obiektów magazynowych, ze względu na wysoki poziom pustostanów, wynoszący około 10,2% dla Polski Centralnej. Tempo przyrostu nowych powierzchni magazynowych będzie maleć do momentu, aż z rynku nie znikną puste magazyny.
Czy inwestowanie w warszawskie nieruchomości komercyjne wciąż się opłaca?
Inwestycje komercyjne mogą mieć małą lub dużą skalę i wyższy bądź umiarkowany stopień ryzyka. Wybór wariantu zawsze należy do inwestora. Warszawa obfituje w lokale usługowe, obiekty handlowe, magazyny, biura, czy hotele na sprzedaż. Część inwestycji będzie się wiązać z satysfakcjonującą stopą zwrotu, jednak nie wszystkie decyzje mogą być trafione.
Inwestowanie w nieruchomości komercyjne w Warszawie jest i będzie opłacalne, jednak niezwykle ważny okazuje się wybór branży oraz opracowanie odpowiedniej strategii. W stolicy można bezpiecznie lokować kapitał przede wszystkim w powierzchnie biurowe wysokiej jakości. Warszawa to atrakcyjny rynek dla branży gastronomicznej i hotelarskiej ze względu na doskonałą lokalizację oraz turystów poszukujących bazy noclegowej. Nieco trudniej będzie znaleźć swoją niszę w sektorze obiektów handlowych oraz magazynów, ponieważ są to dojrzałe rynki, na których popyt osiągnął stabilizację. Warto wziąć pod uwagę kilka możliwości inwestycyjnych, porównać ich mocne oraz słabe strony i podjąć decyzję dopiero po dokonaniu szczegółowej analizy.

Hopping into an idling car with a bag of stolen money, McEvoy Chellis Robinson was unaware how bad his luck had turned.
After two years of playing bass and serving as musical supervisor to Otis Redding, Robinson had returned home to Newport News with a newly acquired drug habit. With local gigs unable to support his addiction, Robinson ended up stealing a bank deposit bag from a pharmacy and jumping into a car outside, demanding that the driver floor it.
“And go they did — right to the police station,” an Associated Press story recounted. The getaway car Robinson chose was occupied by a police officer.
Embarrassing as the incident was — Robinson went by Robert Glover from that point on — the failed 1969 heist proved instrumental in creating Edge of Daybreak’s “Eyes of Love,” an album highly prized by soul music collectors.
The album, recorded by inmates incarcerated at Powhatan Correctional Center, 30 miles west of Richmond, is seeing reissue this week by Chicago’s Numero Group. Practically everything about it defies the odds.
The album’s road to reissue began with Numero’s Jon Kirby, who used to stop by Carrington’s Music in Petersburg on trips between North Carolina and New York. While Kirby knew that owner James Carrington performed and recorded gospel music, Carrington never mentioned his time in prison and his role as keyboardist and bandleader of Edge of Daybreak. It was only after Kirby befriended fellow Southerner Marty Key, now owner of Steady Sounds on Broad Street, that Kirby learned of Carrington’s past.
“He was a saved man,” says Kirby, whose work on the liner notes for the Numero release “Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound” was nominated for a Grammy. “He had gone on to do gospel and have a family and be a pillar of the community, and wasn’t necessarily bragging about this incredible record he had made during a kind of uncomfortable period.”
Carrington grew up near Farmville and was targeted by law enforcement in 1971 after he entered into a consenting relationship with a white woman. According to Kirby’s exhaustively researched liner notes, “vague assault charges filed against him by his girlfriend’s parents stuck.”
“I don’t need to go into all that,” says Carrington, who still operates his store in Petersburg. “That’s one of the reasons I hesitated about putting the CD out, because what’s in the past I just wanted to leave in the past.”
After his incarceration at Richmond’s infamous penitentiary on Spring Street, Carrington was moved to Powhatan, which allowed its prisoners to form bands. He soon created Edge of Daybreak, composed of nine members whose fascinating back stories are included in Kirby’s liner notes. The group’s beautiful, high falsetto, for example, was provided by Harry “Cupcake” Coleman, an openly gay man so nicknamed because of his diminutive size. At the age of 19, Coleman joined a cross-dressing R&B act called the Affections that covered Aretha Franklin while playing gigs on Brookland Park Boulevard and in the South Side.
While incarcerated, Carrington began ordering music from Richmond chain Bohannon’s Records and Tapes, and befriended owner Milton Hogue. Carrington eventually persuaded Hogue to see the band play, and he liked what he heard.
Hogue petitioned the prison to allow for a taping at Alpha Audio recording studio. Prison personnel inspected the studio and informed Hogue that he would have to contract one guard per prisoner, which would exceed his $3,000 budget for the project. Instead, Hogue sent a mobile recording unit from Alpha Audio to the prison.
With just five hours to set up and record in the prison’s recreation room, the band quickly cut the album’s eight tracks. Recording on a two-track, quarter-inch master tape, there was no room for mistakes or overdubs, and little could be done in the mixing room.
“There was very little time,” Carrington says. “Most of the songs it was just one take, and whatever you did on that one take, that’s what you had.”
As the band recorded the album’s final song, “Our Love,” prison guards began gesturing for them to wrap it up. Alpha Audio owner Eric Johnson was impressed at how well the recording turned out, later telling The Richmond Times-Dispatch, “If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought they were a band on the road who all happened to be incarcerated at the same time in the same place.”
The recording attracted some media attention when it was released, and Hogue pressed 1,000 copies of the album. Not all of them were sold, because Kirby estimates that about 200 were destroyed in some sort of basement flood at Bohannon’s.
Shortly after the recording, some members of the band were transferred and eventually paroled. Upon his release, member Jamal Jaha Nubi formed a group in Roanoke called Business of Sweet Success, which reworked Edge of Daybreak’s “Let Us (Make Love)” for a 45. Carrington used his friendship with Hogue to start working at Bohannon’s part time through a work-release program.
Upon his release, Carrington began working full time at the Bohannon’s location at 114 E. Broad St., eventually buying the store from Hogue and renaming it Carrington’s Music. He grew his business to 11 stores at one point, and joined up with Edge of Daybreak member Cornelius “Neil” Cade to form Rise, which released a lone, eight-minute, freedom-funk single titled “Action.” Now, Carrington is heavily involved with gospel music and has recorded a number of albums.
But it’s the album they cut in prison that has a cult following.
“The people fortunate enough to own a copy of this record were pretty high-grade collectors in the U.K. and the U.S. as well,” Kirby says. “It had some mystique around it, it had a great story, it’s a great sounding record with incredible songs. It’s kind of the perfect storm of a great record obscurity: It’s rare, it’s desirable, musically it’s incredible.”
For Cade and other band members, they’re happy to finally get recognition for an album they created more than three decades ago.
“I’m glad that the people that picked it up and found us decided to do something with it,” says Cade, who played guitar, sang and wrote “Our Love.” “We’re real excited.”
But Carrington would rather focus on his gospel endeavors and asks listeners to forgive mistakes that no one but the band members seem to hear.
“What you hear is a great blessing,” Carrington says, “because I don’t think nobody could do a take one round like that and have so few mistakes out of all the songs.”
Mistakes or not, listeners seem drawn to the album for its music and its theme of overcoming hardship, perhaps best expressed by the inscription on the original album cover: “Our bodies are in prison, but we want our hearts and minds to be with the free world. The Edge of Daybreak symbolizes the morning when each of the band members will be free.”
The release party for Numero Group’s reissue of Edge of Daybreak’s “Eyes of Love” will take place Thursday, Oct. 22, from 6-8 p.m. at Steady Sounds, 322 W. Broad St. Free.

Your gums are more important than you may have realized. As a soft tissue supportive structure, they play a crucial role in securing your teeth to the bone underneath.
For adults, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. Keeping your gingiva healthy isn’t just smart for your smile; it can affect your overall wellness and reduce the risk of problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infertility, and more.
What are the best ways to keep your gums healthy? Follow these important steps from Summit Dental Excellence:
Brush Your Gumlines
Massage your gums and lift away soft plaque biofilm with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Angle the bristles towards your gums at 45 degrees but don’t push too hard, as that could lead to gum recession.
Floss Under Your Gums Daily
Healthy gums shouldn’t ever bleed when you’re brushing and flossing properly. If you have gingivitis, symptoms will usually reverse within two weeks of daily flossing. If they don’t, you may have a more severe infection known as periodontal (gum) disease and need to see our Oconomowoc dentists.
Eat Plenty of Fresh Produce
Crisp veggies and fresh fruits such as carrots and apples are great for your gums. They’re packed with vitamins that aid in tissue health, but they also stimulate blood flow in your gingiva while you’re biting into them. Adding extra produce into your diet will help your immune system to combat the symptoms of gum disease and other health problems.
Drink Tap Water
Water is a natural cleanser. It supports healthy levels of saliva production, keeps your mouth moisturized, and rinses away excess bacteria inside your mouth. But not all water is created equal! Choose a reusable bottle and drink straight from the tap (unless your area has deemed it unsafe), for healthy fluoride levels that boost your enamel strength at the same time!
Schedule a Preventive Care Appointment Every Six Months
People with healthy teeth and gums generally only require a dental checkup every six months. At these visits we’ll clean away calcified buildup from between your teeth and just under the gums, to prevent gum disease and bone loss. If you’ve had a history of periodontal infections, you may need to see our dentist as frequently as every 3-4 months.
If you have gums that are red, swollen, sensitive or bleeding, it’s time for a gum check. Has it been longer than six months since your last cleaning? Book your next visit at Summit Dental Excellence today!

I began off with the objective of creating a web site that has no on going costs, minimal transaction fees and low maintenance. In comparison with men’s stores, ladies’s stores and objects seem to be selling extra. PayPal is a payment resolution that allows its members to make cost with out having to make use of a credit card. This is one reason why people opted for online purchasing rather than going out and buying from brick and mortar outlets.
High quality is an aspect that brought internet purchasing below the scanner as a result of people were skeptical about buying one thing that they could not touch (particularly garments). But in case you shop on-line, you may shortly soar from one store to the subsequent.
In case you make use of on-line procuring sites that not just discloses the varied varieties of merchandise available but also discloses the shops in Europe and America from the place the products was outsourced, you can finalize the purchase with confidence in your determination.
Purchasers look for deep information to analyse issues, and figure out the particular insights about objects, and be taught all that they can earlier than shopping for one thing out of your on-line store. Shopping on-line permits you to set your alarm, shortly pick the merchandise you want, and then head right again to mattress.
Another example is the sites providing free categorised advertisements, auctions, and forums where customers should buy and sell products to other consumers. Just about any brand you’ll be able to consider offers their items through on-line shoe stores. The websites can even make it easier to with your resume and you can preserve your account open with them till you find the job you are trying to find.

IP gelocation is quick changing into a must have feature that lets retailers serve localized and related content material to online shoppers. You can find Magtech Ammunition excessive efficiency merchandise at a few of America’s leading sporting items on-line retailers so seek for Magtech Ammunition by title. Services need to stand out from rivals’ choices and add worth to customers’ lives.
The expo flooring is packed stuffed with finest-of-breed expertise, purposes and options to help companies construct a more robust ecommerce web site, attract and convert web visitors and ship the good customer expertise. Over time, with the expansion of audiences shopping for on-line and an increase in competitors, retailers started to compete an increasing number of to drive traffic via to their stores.
Australia, the U.K, the U.S., and Canada are all targeted by on-line retailers. But, almost 4 years since it was revealed, many retailers still overlook engaging with these findings in favour of focusing on websites and codecs of digital retail that focus purely on acquisition.
The transfer was immediately overshadowed by Amazon’s seismic acquisition of Entire Meals , sending shares of Walmart and numerous different retailers plunging. Since there is no such thing as a center-man, consumers are able to buy organically raised merchandise at significantly better common prices per pound than within the native supermarket (which usually carries the regular manufacturing unit-farmed products).
Dana Dean takes us inside Pulse Vogue, a popular on-line retailer with a YouTube star on its employees. “After I had my first firm, I selected to sell some items I believed had been unattractive. Couple that with the decrease cost of doing business off shore and America’s push towards free commerce, it isn’t shocking that the net international explosion performs such a big part within the history of online retailing.

Understanding Medical Negligence and Wrongful Death Claims
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider’s actions—or lack of action—cause harm to a patient. This can lead to severe injury or, tragically, wrongful death. Examples of medical negligence include:
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a condition is missed or diagnosed too late, leading to delayed treatment or harm.
Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside the patient, or errors with anesthesia.
Medication Errors: Wrong prescriptions, incorrect dosages, or failure to account for patient allergies can all cause serious harm.
Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery can lead to birth injuries, affecting both the mother and the baby.
Failure to Treat: When doctors do not provide timely or adequate treatment despite clear symptoms, leading to worsening of the condition.
How to Recognize Medical Negligence
If you or a loved one experienced unexpected harm or complications after medical treatment, you may wonder if it was due to negligence. Consider these signs:
Unusual Complications: Persistent or unexplained symptoms, or the development of new, unexplained medical issues.
Lack of Informed Consent: If you or your loved one didn’t fully understand the risks involved in a treatment or surgery, this may indicate a lack of proper informed consent.
Second Opinion Confirms Error: If another medical professional indicates that proper procedures weren’t followed, or that a different course of action should have been taken, it may point to negligence.
Practical Next Steps
Collect all medical records, treatment plans, prescriptions, and test results. Detailed records will help establish a timeline of events and provide evidence of potential negligence. -
Document Symptoms and Impact
Keep a personal record of symptoms, complications, or changes in the condition following treatment. Include any emotional, physical, or financial impact experienced. -
Seek a Second Opinion
Another healthcare professional can evaluate the care received and may help identify errors or missteps in treatment. -
Contact an Attorney
Medical negligence cases are complex, requiring legal expertise to review medical records, consult with experts, and build a strong case. An attorney can evaluate your situation, explain your rights, and guide you on the best steps to take. -
Act Promptly To Avoid Missing Any Deadlines. These cases have very strict deadlines. Each case is unique, but generally, in Washington state, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally three years from the date of injury, and, if you discover your injury or illness resulted from malpractice after the three-year period, you must file within one year of discovering or reasonably should have discovered it.

Employment laws are designed to create a fair and balanced work environment, promoting both employee well-being and business success. By ensuring workers are treated fairly, these laws help foster efficient, productive workplaces, which in turn benefit our economy as a whole. We represent individuals in a range of employment-related cases, ensuring that workers’ rights are protected while promoting a productive and harmonious workplace for everyone.
The types of employment law cases we handle include:
Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of a physical or mental impairment. We fight to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided, and that employees are not unfairly treated due to their disabilities.
Gender discrimination involves treating someone unfairly based on their sex or gender identity. This includes unequal pay, promotions, or opportunities. We work to ensure that all employees have equal opportunities in the workplace, regardless of gender.
Age discrimination involves unfavorable treatment of an employee based on their age, particularly for those aged 40 and over. We protect older workers from being unfairly passed over for opportunities due to their age.
Religious discrimination occurs when employees are treated unfairly due to their religious beliefs or practices. We ensure that employers respect religious diversity and make reasonable accommodations when required.
Sexual Orientation Discrimination
Discrimination based on sexual orientation happens when an individual is treated unfairly due to their sexual identity. We advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and equally, regardless of who they love.
Military Status Discrimination
Military status discrimination occurs when a person is treated unfairly due to their status as a current or former member of the military. We ensure that servicemen and women are protected from discrimination and that their employment rights are respected.
Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual behavior that creates a hostile work environment. This can include inappropriate comments, advances, or physical conduct. We fight to hold employers accountable for preventing and addressing workplace harassment.
Whistleblowing involves an employee reporting illegal or unethical practices within their organization. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation, ensuring they can expose wrongdoing without fear of losing their job or facing unfair treatment.
Nationality and Race Discrimination
Nationality and race discrimination involves treating an employee or applicant unfavorably due to their race, ethnicity, or national origin. We stand up against discriminatory practices, promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
At Sunlight Law, we are dedicated to ensuring that every individual’s rights are upheld, creating workplaces that are not only fair but also help drive success and productivity for all.
Possible Compensation from a Employment Discrimination Cases:
Each case is unique, and different types of remedies are available for each. The following are examples of possible remedies.
Back Pay: Compensation for wages and benefits lost due to discrimination.
Front Pay: Future earnings losses if returning to the job isn’t possible.
Compensatory Damages: Payment for emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other non-economic losses.
Reinstatement: Placing the employee back in their previous position.
Lost Benefits: Recovery of benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, and other perks.
Attorney’s Fees and Court Costs: Coverage of legal expenses incurred during the case.
Injunctive Relief: Court orders requiring changes to discriminatory policies or practices.
Punitive Damages: Damages meant to punish the employer for particularly severe misconduct. (This is not very common in the state of Washington)
Information We Would Need For a Case Involving Employment Discrimination
1. Documentation: Emails, memos, performance reviews, or other written communications showing discriminatory comments or actions.
2. Witness Testimonies: Statements from coworkers, supervisors, or others who witnessed the discrimination.
3. Personnel Records: Job applications, resumes, and records of promotions, demotions, or terminations.
4. Comparative Evidence: Examples showing how similarly positioned employees outside the protected class were treated differently.
5. Company Policies: Copies of anti-discrimination policies, employee handbooks, and training materials.
6. Direct Evidence: Any clear statements or actions by the employer indicating discrimination.
7. Statistical Evidence: Data showing patterns of discrimination, such as disparities in hiring, promotions, or pay.
8. Medical Records (for disability cases or to show emotional distress): Documentation of the medical condition and accommodations requested or denied.
9. Chronology of Events: A timeline of incidents highlighting the discriminatory behavior.
10. Formal Complaints: Copies of complaints filed with the employer or agencies like the EEOC or state human rights commissions.
There Are Strict Deadlines to File a Lawsuit in Washington in regards to employment discrimination
Under the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD), you have 3 years from the date of the discriminatory act to file a lawsuit.
For federal laws like Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the deadline to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is 300 days from the date of the discriminatory act. Once you receive a “Right to Sue” letter from the EEOC, you have 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court.
Consult with an attorney (even if it is not with our lawfirm) immediately to come up with a plan and avoid missing any deadlines.

Released in 7 October 2018, the Fitbit Charge 3 was praised as a superb fitness tracker. It may not be as innovative as other Newer Fitbits, such as the Charge 5, Versa 3, Charge 4 or the brand new Sense, but it brought important improvements over previous generations and is still a very good smartwatch.
The third-generation impressed with a more refined design, a larger, fully waterproof display, and lighter weight.
So, it has an array features to make it more appealing to fitness fans – here we take a look under its hood to find out what makes it tick.
Compared to the 4 and 5 at a very similar price, you may want to consider the charge 4 in this case so we list both options here.
Design and Display
From an aesthetic standpoint, Charge 4 isn’t too different from its predecessor, the Charge 3. The display, band and colour palette follow similar lines: nevertheless, the new Charge has some small improvements.
It’s only weighs 3.21 ounces. So it perfectly suits an active lifestyle.
It has a full touchscreen display, not least because the absence of buttons has made for a completely waterproof smartwatch – making it more appealing to swimmers with immersion resistance down to 50 metres.
The display measures 1.47″. The watch itself is 1.63 x 4.04 x 8.9 inches. The strap is as wide as the display, and there’s a range of classic silicone, leather, woven, and sports bands available.
More of an everyday fitness tracker than a smartwatch, Fitbit Charge 3 has some, though limited smart features – it does not offer contactless payments or built-in GPS like the charge 4.
With messages, you can only send quick replies from Android, but not with iOS or other operating systems.
Fitness, Mindfulness and Medical Features
Fitbit Charge 4 might not have abundant smart features, but it excels in terms of fitness and medical functionality.
From a medical standpoint, you get:
- Health and heart rate monitoring: The smartwatch delivers 24/7 heart rate monitoring, burned calories counter, and real-time heart rate zones. The latter is particularly useful if you want to make the most out of your workout.
- Sleep tracking: If you feel fatigued without apparent reason, the sleep tracker will monitor the quality of your sleep and deliver personalised insights. While it won’t help cure any sleep disturbances, it will surely help you understand whether or not you should visit your doctor.
- Feminine health tracking: This feature helps keep track of periods, ovulation and fertility windows, and their associated symptoms.
Besides these medical functions, the fitness tracker also incorporates a wealth of features developed to help you improve your physical performance.
Perhaps the best function is the SmartTrack, which recognises your activity automatically and tracks your performance accordingly.
You can also set goals and get real-time stats for over 15 exercises or track your pace and distance in real-time using your smartphone’s GPS.
The smartwatch also keeps track of how much you move throughout the day and sends reminders to move, while the personalised guided breathing claims to help you get rid of negative emotions and channel your positive energies towards productivity.
Battery and Performance
Comfortable and durable, the Charge 3 has a tough case and Corning Gorilla glass display.
Though it doesn’t have the best-performing battery out there – the Fitbit Zip’s battery, for example, lasts for up to six months on a single charge – it can still last for 7 of continuous wearing and under normal usage.
You could potentially increase the battery life even more by disabling the alarms and reducing interaction.
Fitbit Charge 3 Summary
Fitbit Charge 3 is an exceptional fitness tracker – though not such a great smartwatch – and it integrates all the functions and features you’d expect. A variety of band styles and colors bring versatility, making it suitable for both men and women.
Coming at a cost that won’t break the bank, it blends high-end functionality with a mid-range price tag in a product that really knows how to satisfy its users.
If you’re looking for a great fitness tracker rather than the smartest watch, the Fitbit Charge 3 may fit the bill. You should also consider the charge 4 for comparison and more advances features and a similar price.
Or, if you’re considering an alternative to the Fitbit Charge 3 at the same price point, you’ll love our article on the AmazFit X, a watch offering a button-free design and excellent battery life.

Hra osudu díl první
„Vstávejte! Slyšíte? Vstávejte, vždyť tu umrznete!“
Tuhá zima mi pomalu zalézala až do morku kostí. Nemohla jsem se téměř pohnout a přesto, jakoby z povzdálí, ten hlas se mi snažil dodat sílu, kterou už jsem pomalu, ale jistě postrádala. Vší silou jsem se snažila otevřít oči, ale nešlo to. Měla jsem pocit, že jsem padla až na samé dno bez možnosti opět se postavit a stoupat nahoru. Hlavou se mi honily všelijaké myšlenky. Nevím proč, co jsem komu udělala, nebo je to jen zkouška? V duchu jsem stále brečela, nic jiného už jsem nedokázala. Jen brečet jako malá holka. Tolik bolesti a beznaděje snad ani v člověku být nemůže. Přišlo mi až neskutečné, kolik toho na jednoho člověka může spadnout a ještě více, kolik toho dokáže vydržet i když s vypětím sil. Doposud jsem si přála, abych už byla dospělá. A teď přemýšlím, jestli vůbec má cenu dále žít a zkoušet podržet i ten kousíček naděje na lepší život, co mi ještě zbyla.
„No tak, slečno, musíte se vzbudit!“ řekl ten muž, který se nade mnou skláněl zvýšeným hlasem.
Pomalu jsem otevřela oči a rozhlédla se kolem sebe. Všude okolo byly zasněžené stromy a o něco dále se objevili lavičky. Vypadalo to, že jsem nejspíš v parku, ale netušila jsem, jak jsem se sem dostala. Byla mi neskutečná zima. Celá jsem se třásla a začala uvažovat, co je za den. A pak jsem ho spatřila. Stál tam a pořád něco mluvil. Krátké, vlnité vlasy, vpředu padající neposlušný pramínek, hluboké, tmavě hnědé oči, ostré rysy v obličeji a plachý úsměv, když spatřil, že se na něj dívám. Za normálních okolností bych si ho nejspíš nevšimla, celkově působil dojmem člověka, kterého bych na ulici přešla bez povšimnutí.
„Pojďte, pomůžu vám vstát, celá se třesete. Kousek odsud bydlím. Jestli chcete, můžete se jít ohřát a určitě budete mít i hlad. A trocha horkého čaje vám taky udělá dobře.“ Podal mi ruku, aby mi pomohl vstát. „V motelu ještě asi nikdo nebude. David, majitel motelu, vezl svoji ženu do porodnice a pokud vím, tak se to malé ještě nenarodilo. Takže, jestli máte zájem slečno…“
„Sára…. Jmenuju se Sára Brandonová.“ Řekla jsem sotva slyšitelným, roztřeseným hlasem.
„…slečno Brandonová, můžete dnešní noc zůstat u mě.“
„Docela ráda, pokud vám to nebude vadit.“
„Dobře, tak pojďte. Jinak já jsem Tomáš Presley, ale říkejte mi prostě Tom.“
„Děkuji pane Presley, tedy… Tome.“
„Tak jdeme Sáro, potřebuješ být hodně rychle v teple nebo ještě nastydneš!“ Svlékl si svůj kabát do kterého mě hned začal oblékat.
Vůbec jsem nepřemýšlela o tom, že je to naprosto cizí člověk. V tu chvíli mi to bylo popravdě úplně jedno. Už jen touha po teple, po kterém jsem toužila víc než po čemkoliv jiném, byla daleko silnější než rozum, který by měl převládat. Byla jsem vděčná, že se tu tak objevil. Upřímně, kdo v mé situaci by vůbec uvažoval o možných následcích? Nejistým krokem jsem tedy šla vedle něj a nechala se vést k jeho domovu. Husté sněžení a namrzlý sníh cestu docela stěžovaly. Zima přišla tento rok docela brzo. Veškeré teplé oblečení zůstalo doma a já zalitovala, že jsem si nějaké nevzala. Zpanikařila jsem dřív, než mi došlo, že kdybych chvíli počkala, nejspíš bych se dostala pro pár svých věcí a odjet jsem mohla o trochu později. Celá situace mi přišla absurdní, z naprosto bezstarostného člověka se téměř přes noc stane štvanec. Ovšem kým pronásledován a proč, to pro mě zůstávalo stále záhadou.
„Je to jen pár ulic, za chvilku jsme doma. Jestli chceš, můžeš si dát horkou vanu a já zatím připravím něco k jídlu. Co by sis dala?“ Ozval se Tom a vyrušil mě tak z myšlenek. Podívala jsem se na něj a zaskočeně reagovala na jeho otázku.
„Ani nevím, je mi to celkem jedno,“ pohled jsem upřela zpět na cestu a vracela se zpět do své mysli.
„No dobře, co tedy říkáš tomu, že bychom si dali čínu? Dělám ji vážně dobrou. Aspoň to říkají známí, co ji u mě jedli.“ Dal si ruce do kapes a podíval se na mě.
Tomáš se snažil o konverzaci, ale nějak se mi nedařilo s ním komunikovat. Normálně jsem bývala jednou z těch, co nikdy nedokázaly přestat mluvit. Snad za to můžou události, které se na mě sesypaly během posledních několika málo dnů, snad strach z toho, co bude. Strach z budoucnosti. Netuším, co mě čeká a zatím to ani neřeším. Pro mě je teď prioritní vždy následující den. Jestli se ho vůbec dožiju. Přišlo mi směšné zabývat se diskusí o jídle, co by si kdo dal. Tuhle otázku jsem vždy slýchala v restauracích, kam jsme chodily se Stef a s otcem. Nečekala bych, že ji uslyším i od neznámého muže, který se mě ujme, aniž by věděl kdo jsem.
„Tak jsme tu. Bydlím ve čtvrtém patře.“
Po teplé koupeli mi bylo opravdu o něco lépe. Dala jsem si vodu horkou, abych se aspoň trochu prohřála. I když pomohlo to jen na chvíli, ale aspoň už jsem se cítila o něco lépe a mohla jsem bez obtíží hýbat prsty, které byly z mrazu ohnuté v kloubech a promodralé. Večeře byla taky dobrá a s chutí jsem ji snědla celou. Jen se svým hostitelem jsem nedokázala stále mluvit. Ani nevím, o čem bych vlastně s ním mluvila. Neměla jsem náladu rozebírat svůj dosavadní život a vykládat přihlouplé vtipy o blondýnkách, nebo politicích, tak jako jsme to dělávaly se Stef a už vůbec mi nepřišlo vhodné zmiňovat se o situaci, ve které se zrovna nacházím.
„Tak jak? Už je ti lépe?“ zeptal se Tomáš a podíval se na mě, ubrouskem si lehce otřel rty a pečlivě ho složil pod příbor na talíři.
„Ano, je, díky moc za vše, co jsi pro mě udělal.“
Cítila jsem se nesvá, ale zároveň jsem byla vděčná za pomoc. Nedokázala jsem se mu dlouho dívat do očí a tak můj pohled bloudil po místnosti a zkoumal.
„Nemáš za co, přeci bych tě nenechal venku v tom mrazu. Jestli chceš, můžeš tu být jak dlouho potřebuješ. Myslím, že asi nejspíš nemáš kam jít.“
„Vždyť mě vůbec neznáš, nevíš co jsem zač.“ Řekla jsem překvapeně.
„To sice neznám, ale pochybuju, že bys něco vyvedla a zmizela. Poznám lumpy a to ty rozhodně nejsi.“
Opět se lehce pousmál a ve tváři měl výraz šibala. Nevěděla jsem co si o něm mám myslet. Neznám člověka, který by tolik riskoval a vzal si domů někoho naprosto cizího.
„Povíš mi, co se ti vlastně stalo?“ Podíval se na mě tázavým pohledem.
Chvíli jsem zaváhala, jestli bych mu měla říct, co se děje. A proč vlastně? Nemůžu ho zatáhnout do svých problémů a tak ohrozit i jeho.
„Promiň, já…. no… víš, radši bych si to nechala pro sebe. Nechci tě nijak zatěžovat svými problémy. A vůbec, je těžké o tom mluvit a zabralo by to i hodně času než bych ti vše vysvětlila.“ Řekla jsem mu omluvným tónem, ruce složila do klína a nervózně si pohrávala s prsty.
„No dobře, necháme to tak, zatím… Chápu, že se nechceš svěřovat, ale pokud budeš potřebovat, můžeš se na mě kdykoliv obrátit. Rád pomůžu, pokud je to v mých silách. Nebudu tě déle zdržovat, určitě by ses ráda prospala.“
„Děkuji, opravdu moc děkuji, za vše. Pokud ti to tedy nebude vadit, půjdu si lehnout.“
„To víš, že mi to nevadí. Dobrou noc, Sáro.“
Po probuzení mi bylo hrozně. Noční můry mi nedaly chvilku pokoje a snad každou hodinu jsem se probouzela. Moje úvahy se točily kolem událostí posledních dnů a možných řešení. Vůbec nic mě nenapadalo, co bych měla dělat. Jako by neexistovalo žádné řešení. V duchu jsem si pořád říkala, že by možná stálo za to se Tomovi svěřit, ale jak začít a jestli vůbec by to bylo moudré – kdo ví. A věřil by mi to všechno? Ani nevím, co je zač a co vůbec dělá. Každopádně ještě nebyl čas na to, dostat to ze sebe ven. Napřed jsem potřebovala načerpat novou sílu a odhodlání bojovat, abych uspěla. Jestli vůbec bylo možné v takovém boji uspět…
„Dobré odpoledne Sáro. Připravil jsem něco lehčího k pozdní snídani. Nechtěl jsem tě budit. Jak ses vyspala?“ Zeptal se Tom a přitom pokládal na stůl podnos s jídlem.
„Dobré odpoledne. To už je tolik hodin? Omlouvám se, ani jsem netušila, že už je tak pozdě. Je mi lépe, spánek mi opravdu pomohl.“
Bylo krátce po třetí hodině a já měla pocit jako by bylo něco málo před polednem. Ke snídani připravil obložené toasty. Ani jsem neměla moc chuť k jídlu, ale aspoň kousek se mi povedlo sníst.
„Neomlouvej se, však to bylo na tobě vidět jak jsi unavená. Nic se neděje. Taky si někdy rád přispím. Dáš si kafe nebo čaj? Já osobně musím mít první kafe, bez toho bych asi ani nemohl fungovat.“
„Kafe, díky. Ráda si ho dám, aspoň se proberu.“
Pokusila jsem se o menší úsměv a doufala, že se povedl a nevypadal spíše jako nějaký úšklebek. Je to už dlouho, co jsem se usmála. Ani si nevzpomínám, kdy to vlastně bylo naposledy. Až pominou problémy a zjistím co se děje, bude všechno určitě jiné a já se zase začnu smát. Fráze – až pominou problémy… – mi zněla v hlavě častěji, než jsem si chtěla připustit. Bylo to svým způsobem i povzbudivější, ta představa, že jednou… někdy… se všechno změní a já zase budu normálně žít. I když, co je to vlastně – normálně – ? Pro většinu lidí je normální chodit do práce, bavit se s přáteli, někam vyrazit a nebo jen zaplatit nějaké účty a být s rodinou. Prostě život bez větších problémů a obav, že vás chce někdo zabít, nebo využít. Já měla pocit, jako by právě tahle představa normálního života byla sci-fi.
„No, nevím co máš dnes v plánu ty, ale já musím ještě udělat menší práci. Pokud ti to nebude vadit, vytratím se na chvíli do pracovny.“ Tom se na mě podíval a jeho pohled v tu chvíli vypadal omluvně.
„Jistěže mi to nebude vadit. Můžu vědět, co děláš?“ Zeptala jsem se téměř okamžitě a v duchu si říkala jestli mu ta otázka nezněla tak hloupě, jako mě samotné. Ale aspoň něco málo se o něm dozvím. Možná…
„Jsem investigativní novinář, píšu teď pro jeden časopis o konspiračních teoriích. Někteří lidé si myslí, že těmito teoriemi se zabývají blázni, co nemají nic jiného na práci, ale když se nad tím zamyslíš, tak někdy ty jejich úvahy ti přijdou logické a reálné.“
„To zní zajímavě.“
Nikdy jsem nijak nepřemýšlela, že by něco mělo být jinak, než jak nám říkají ve zprávách. Jako bychom byli naprogramovaní k tomu, abychom uvěřili všemu, co se nám říká. Je fakt, že zcela jistě se najdou i takoví, co nedávají informace celé a někdy je shrnou opravdu jen na nejzákladnější fráze.
„No nic, nebudu tě déle zdržovat od práce.“
„Vůbec nezdržuješ, pokud budeš chtít, můžeme si o tom povídat.“ Odpověděl téměř s radostí, že se někdo zajímá o jeho práci.
„To bych byla ráda, zní to opravdu zajímavě, ale prvně dopiš ten článek. Jsem dost zvědavá, a když mě nějaké téma zaujme, dokážu o něm mluvit i hodiny.“
„Dobře, tak já to dopíšu a pak se ti budu plně věnovat. Zatím si tu udělej pohodlí. Jestli chceš, mám tu i nějaké knihy nebo časopisy.“
„Podívám se, děkuju.“
Tom se rychle vytratil z pokoje do své pracovny a já jsem tam zůstala sama. Uvažovala jsem o tom, co říkal. Vypadá to, že nakonec budeme mít o čem mluvit a já aspoň zjistím, jaký je. Novinář … to má nejspíš docela přehled a možná … Ale ne, má své práce dost.
Zatímco Tom ve své pracovně dopisoval článek, rozhlížela jsem se po pokoji, nebo spíše bych měla říct knihovně. Pokoj byl zařízený na způsob obývacího, velká tmavá sedačka, dvě křesla se stejným potahem a konferenční stolek z nejspíš dubového dřeva, ale dvě stěny byly tvořeny velkou rohovou skříní pro knihy, která byla zcela zaplněná. Výběr tu byl opravdu velký, byly tu knihy cestopisné, vědecké, mystické, detektivky a dokonce i náboženské. Je snad Tomáš věřící? Nebo to má jen ke své práci…? Některé tituly mi byly povědomé, jiné jsem i četla, ale byla jich tu spousta, o kterých jsem neměla ani ponětí, o čem jsou.
Ani jsem nepostřehla, že Tomáš přišel do pokoje, jak jsem byla zaujatá knihovnou.
„Tak už jsem tu, článek dopsán a můžu se ti plně věnovat.“
Leknutím jsem upustila knihu, kterou jsem si zrovna prohlížela a nemotorně si klekla, abych ji sebrala. Tváře se mi zalévaly červenou barvou a srdce bilo takovou rychlostí, až jsem si myslela že mi vyskočí z hrudi.
„Promiň, já, … dívala jsem se tu na tvé knihy. Máš pěknou sbírku a pořádný výběr. U tebe by si snad knihu vybral každý.“
Cítila jsem se v tu chvíli provinile, jako bych dělala něco špatného. I když jsem si jen prohlížela knihy, které mě zaujaly.
„V pořádku, nic se neděje, klidně se tu můžeš porozhlídnout. Některé knihy mám už dlouho a k některým mám i jistý citový vztah. Většinou jsou to ty cestopisné, které jsem si přivezl z pracovních cest. Cestuju poměrně často a je to vlastně i takový můj koníček. Pak tu mám spoustu knih, co mi pomohly k práci. Někdy získávám informace právě z nich a pak je jednodušší napsat článek, když víš, kde začít a na koho se obrátit. Tuhle metodu jsem používal nejvíc, když jsem začínal psát. Nepřipadal jsem si potom jako nevzdělanec, když probíhal rozhovor s některým politikem a nebo jinou známou osobností.“
„To ti věřím, sama bych asi novinařinu nemohla dělat. Připadá mi hodně náročná. Musel si toho už asi hodně procestovat.“
„Pár zemí už ano, většinou to byla Evropa, teď hodně Afrika. Líbí se mi tam, ty pouště a pralesy. Teď naposledy jsem byl v Zimbabwe. Moc pěkná země a zajímavá kultura. Byla to spíše pracovní cesta, ale i tak jsem si udělal čas na výlety abych ji prozkoumal.“
„Musí to být zajímavá země, já byla tak akorát ve Švýcarsku, Francii a ještě v Itálii.“
Při vzpomínce na Francii mi zamrazilo a měla jsem najednou pocit jako by mě někdo pevně svíral, abych se nemohla nadechnout. Rychle jsem obrátila list a začala mluvit o něčem jiném, jen abych nemusela myslet na to co se stalo.
„Dívala jsem se, máš tu i hodně náboženských knih.“
„To ano. Ty jsou většinou jedny z takzvaně pracovních pomůcek. Nejsou to až tak doslovně náboženské, ale spíše takové, co se náboženstvím zabývají. A ne jen tím. Nedávno jsem psal článek o skupině lidí, co si říkají Ilumináti a tajné společnosti Skull and Bones.“
„Nejspíš to byl zajímavý článek. Nikdy jsem o nich neslyšela. Nebo možná … Někdy snad, ale nevěnovala jsem tomu pozornost. Co jsou vůbec zač, tyhle spolky?“ Zvědavě jsem sledovala Toma a čekala, co mi k tomu řekne. Už jen název byl pro mě poutavý a jako by budil respekt.
„No, jak nejlépe bych ti to vysvětlil?“
„Tak začni od začátku, pokud tedy máš čas.“
„Ale jistě, bude to tak nejspíš i lepší. Aspoň to pochopíš snáze. Pokusím se ti tedy vysvětlit začátky a cíle těchto skupin.“
Usadil se do křesla a začal vyprávět.
„Takže tajný spolek Ilumináti založil v květnu roku 1776 doktor Adam Weishaupt. Původně pod názvem organizace – Starobylí osvícení vizionáři bavorští. No, ale každý je právě zná jako Ilumináty. Tato skupina začínala tehdy jen s pár členy a postupně se rozrůstala. Tehdy byl jedním z jejich úkolů distribuovat materiály, které byly proti církvi. A měli toho daleko víc. Tohle byl jen, jak bych to řekl, druhořadý úkol. Taky po celou dobu svého působení měli kontrolu nad muži na vysokých postech. Říká se o nich, že brali úplatky sexuální i peněžní a vydírali finančním zruinováním a smrtí. Bylo hodně těch, co jim byli po vůli a jen proto, aby nepřišli o svá postavení a majetek, přistoupili na jejich hru.
Vlastně, když se nad tím zamyslíš, tak je to jako by právě oni tehdy ovlivňovali celý vývoj ve světě. Naprosto kdekoli. Měli pod palcem snad všechny důležité místa. Jedni říkají, že ve skutečnosti bylo vše jinak a jen hájili svá práva, druzí se je zase snažili jakkoliv pošpinit. Na internetu sice najdeš dnes již spoustu informací o tomto tajném spolku, ale ne vždy jsou od každého stejné.
Na druhé straně, když se podíváš na spolek Skull and Bones, který je o něco mladší, tak zjistíš, že jsou to všechno lidé, co studovali na Universitě Yale. Tato skupina byla založena roku 1832 jako bratrstvo studentů. Každý rok do svých řad přijímají dalších 15 elitních studentů univerzity a s jejich pomocí si spřádají sítě po celém světě. Říká se, že členy této skupiny byli i prezident Bush, a nebo senátor John Kerry. Dokonce i současný prezident je prý členem tohoto spolku. Této společnosti se připisují choutky na ovládnutí světa. Mají své lidi v bankovním sektoru, ve vládě, v médiích nebo dokonce i ve zpravodajských službách. Umí si své lidi dosadit na strategická místa a mít tak vše pod dohledem. Byli dokonce nařčeni i z vytvoření jaderné bomby k vraždě Kennedyho. A říká se, že i útoky v září byly plánované a Bush věděl, že budou. Informace o chystaných útocích měl Pentagon i CIA, ale nikdo s tím nic nedělal.
Lze si jen domyslet, proč to tak nechali a jestli vůbec je toto všechno pravda. Ale člověk, který se zaobírá aspoň trošku konspirační teorií, dojde k neuvěřitelným zjištěním a věří, že něco z toho aspoň z části, pravdivé je.“
„Tak to by bylo tak ve zkratce, abys aspoň trošku věděla co jsou tyhle tajné spolky zač.“
Sotva jsem mohla dýchat, jak jsem hltala každičkou informaci. Bylo to pro mě zcela chaotické a naprosto nepochopitelné. Najednou jsem si připadala, jako by celý náš svět byl jen pouhou loutkou několika málo vyvolených lidí.
„To je naprosto neskutečné. Člověku se ani nechce věřit, že se něco takového vůbec děje. Nikdy by mě nenapadlo, že někteří lidé mají až takovou moc.“
„Myslím, že už tě tím déle zatěžovat nebudu, je to opravdu obrovské kvantum informací a musela by ses tím zabývat podrobněji. Snad jsem ti aspoň trochu osvětlil jakou úlohu vlastně tyto tajné spolky hrají v našem světě. Když se na to podívám z jedné i druhé strany, přijde mi, že vlastně Ilumináti a Skull and Bones jsou si hodně podobní a mají stejné zájmy.“
„Nevím, co k tomu dodat, na některé věci je to pro mě naprosto nový, jiný a docela šokující pohled. Pravdou je, že jsem teď trochu zahlcená informacemi, které jsi tu říkal a přijde mi to přímo neskutečné, že by někdo dokázal tak ovládat svět.“
„To i mě se tak zdálo, než jsem se tomu začal věnovat trochu víc. Jakmile se člověk do toho zcela ponoří, najde i hodně někdy až provokativních náhod. Na tohle téma by se dalo mluvit opravdu dlouho a je toho hodně, co ještě ani já sám nevím. Je to pro mě jedna velká hádanka, kterou se už pár let snažím rozluštit. Stejně tak i hodně z toho může být jen pouhá spekulace.“
„Přivedl jsi mě na jiné myšlenky. Docela jsem se uvolnila a naprosto vypla svůj mozek od myšlenek, které jsem poslední dny měla.“
„To jsem rád. Opravdu rád. Třeba přijde čas, kdy i ty řekneš svůj příběh.“
Jeho pohled vypadal jako by prosil, abych řekla, co se děje.
„Možná ano, vlastně když jsem se tak porozhlížela po tvé knihovně, tak mě spousta knih navnadila k tomu, abych ti řekla věci, které se přihodily. Dneska to ale necháme být, pokud nevadí. Zatím bych si to ještě nechala a popřemýšlela o dalších krocích. Je mi jasné, že tu nemůžu být věčně a je také čas, abych se dala dohromady.“
„Chápu, nebudu na tebe nijak naléhat, ale vždy ti budu připomínat, že se na mě můžeš obrátit, kdykoli budeš potřebovat. A můžeš tady zůstat, než si vyřídíš vše, co potřebuješ.“
„Děkuji, jsem ti za to opravdu vděčná. Vlastně bych po tobě přeci jen něco chtěla, ale jedná se jen o informace. Zítra ti řeknu, o co jde. Nechci tě vystavit jakémukoliv nebezpečí.“
„Dobře, pokusím se něco zjistit, ale pokud to bude hodně nebezpečné, nenechám tě samotnou nic podniknout. A nechci slyšet odmítání, na to ani nereaguju.“
„No tak dobře, ale stejně nic zatím nevíme, tak tuhle otázku budeme řešit až později. Teď jestli ti to nebude vadit, bych se ráda šla nadýchat trochu čerstvého vzduchu a popřemýšlet.“
„To víš, že mi to vadit nebude, jsem rád, že se začínáš zajímat o následující dny.“
Čerstvý vzduch mi opravdu dělal dobře. Ledový mráz mi šlehal do tváří. I když po dlouhé době svítilo sluníčko, tak to nebylo nijak znát. Snad jen sníh se nádherně třpytil v paprscích slunce. Myšlenka, že bych požádala o pomoc Toma, se mi líbila čím dál víc. Měl rozhled a možnosti zjistit téměř cokoliv. Nevím proč, ale najednou jsem se cítila silnější a plná chuti, pustit se do boje a vyhrát. Musím zjistit, co se přesně stalo, proč a jakou roli v tom hraju já.
Pomalu jsem procházela centrem města, všude plno obchodů a stánků s různými suvenýry. Honosně vyhlížející kostel byl ozdobou historického náměstí. Zaujatě jsem si ho prohlížela a uvažovala jak asi vypadá zevnitř. Prošla jsem úzkou uličkou a zastavila na rohu Františkánské ulice. Z nějakého důvodu jsem najednou dostala takový ten pocit, jako když vás něco před něčím varuje. Rozhlížela jsem se jak to jen šlo, ale nic podezřelého jsem neviděla. Pro jistotu jsem poslechla svůj vnitřní hlas a vydala se zpět k Tomášovi. Přeci jen, bylo to místo, o kterém nikdo nevěděl a já tam byla v bezpečí, aspoň zatím. Prošla jsem ulicí a zastavila se u novinového stánku. Koupila jsem si noviny, abych zjistila jestli tam je nějaká zmínka o mně nebo o Stefany. V rychlosti otáčím stránku po stránce. Nic, vůbec nic se tam nepíše. Ani o Stefany. Jako by neexistovala, neměla rodinu a přátele. Noviny skončily v nejbližším koši. Nevěděla jsem jestli se mám rozčilovat, nebo být ráda, že se nepíše nic o únosu.
Ale… jak? Jsou tu! Srdce se mi rozbušilo jako na poplach. Musím jinou cestou a rychle zmizet. Dřív než si mě všimnou. Tři muži, oblečení v černém, dlouhém kabátu, stáli na protější straně ulice a rozhlíželi se do všech stran. Jeden z nich, vysoký, hubené postavy, vešel do přilehlé uličky, vedoucí mezi obchody. Nechápu, jak mě našli tady. Tohle je naprosto jiné město. Nikdy jsem tu nebyla, tak jak to, že tu jsou?
Můj mozek pracoval na plné obrátky a snažil se pochopit to, co právě spatřil. Na první pohled to vypadalo, jako by jim někdo řekl, že tu jsem. Nikdo o tomhle místě však nevěděl. Nebylo komu to říct a nebyla ani možnost nechat vzkaz doma. Celou cestu k Tomovi jsem běžela a pořád se ohlížela, jestli za mnou nikdo není. Srdce mi pumpovalo natolik, až jsem měla pocit jako by mi mělo vyskočit z hrudníku. U domu jsem udělala ještě několik okruhů, kdyby mě náhodou opravdu někdo sledoval. Chtěla jsem mít jistotu, že tam nikdo není a já můžu v klidu zajít dovnitř.
„Ahoj Sáro, co se děje? Jsi udýchaná jako by si právě doběhla maratón. Jsi v pořádku? Myslel jsem, že se jdeš jen trochu projít?“
Tomáš se na mě díval a já se snažila popadnout dech. Hodila jsem po něm pohledem, kterým bylo řečeno, že není čas na vtipy.
„Myslím, …že je na čase, abych ti řekla, o co tu jde.“
Stále jsem dýchala zrychleně a dělalo mi problémy říct větu souvisle a v naprostém klidu. Hlas se mi třásl a pořád jsem nemohla uvěřit tomu, co jsem viděla.
Dej mi jen chvilku, než budu schopná ti vše vysvětlit. Musím trochu popadnout dech.“
„Ale jistě, pojď, sedni si. Chceš kafe, nebo čaj? A nebo by sis dala radši něco tvrdšího? Mám tu gin, nebo Absolutku jestli chceš.“
„Díky, pak bych si tedy dala gin, jestli můžu poprosit. Gin s tonikem. Máš i led?“
„Jistě, chvilku vydrž, hned to bude.“
Tomáš šel k baru a vyndal dvě sklenice s lahví. Nalil sobě i mě, donesl tonic s ledem a sedl si na protější křeslo. Jeho pohled vypadal zmateně a netušil, co si má myslet. Rozhodně už nebyl tak klidný, jako když jsem přišla.
„Tak co se děje? Docela mě děsíš.“
Dlouze jsem se na něj podívala a hledala ta správná slova, kterými bych začala. Zároveň se i mé myšlenky točily kolem otázky, kolik mu toho mám říct. Nejspíš asi vše, aby to pochopil, když něco vynechám, nebude to asi dávat smysl.
„No dobře, tak tedy řeknu ti, o co jde.“
Dlouze jsem se nadechla, rukama objala sklenici a zadívala se do jejího obsahu.
„Začalo to asi před měsícem. Našla jsem ve schránce dopis na mé jméno s pokyny, abych se obrátila na jistého muže, který viděl mojí mamku. Zavolala jsem na informace, aby mě s ním telefonicky spojily. Snad to bylo i štěstí, že v seznamu, z místa odkud měl být, bylo jen jedno číslo a zrovna jeho. Když zvedl telefon a řekla jsem mu, kdo jsem, tak se nechtěl moc bavit. Jen mi řekl, že matku viděl před několika lety ve společnosti mužů v nějakém městečku Loudun. Tehdy jsem vůbec netušila, co jsou zač a tak mi přišlo naprosto normální se tam rozjet a vyhledat toho muže, se kterým jsem mluvila a následně i mamku. Neviděla jsem ji od svých sedmi let a nikdy mi nikdo neřekl, proč odešla. Vždy o ní mluvili jako by byla mrtvá. Ať už to byl táta nebo babička, dokonce i její sestra, všichni se chovali jako by zemřela a nikdy se o ní ani nezmínily. Chtěla jsem vědět proč. Proč mě nechala a odešla od nás.“
„No, ale abych se dostala k věci…“ z hluboka jsem se nadechla, a upřeně se podívala na Toma. Nevěděla jsem jestli mám začít od příjezdu k tomu muži a nebo až od doby, kdy se ztratila Stef. Najednou mi bylo úzko a slova mi šla vyslovovat jen těžko.
„Přiletěly jsme se Stefany, moji kamarádkou, do Francie a ubytovaly se v jednom z levnějších hotelů v Chinonu, což je jen kousek od městečka, kde údajně mamka byla. Hned po ubytování jsem navštívila toho muže.“
„Dobrý den, já jsem Sára Brandonová. Vy jste pan Jacob Sibert?“ Zeptala jsem se a podala mu ruku.
Postarší muž s notně prošedivělými vlasy, vysunutou bradou a očima šedýma jako by byly bez života, si mě prohlédl doslova od hlavy k patě. Jeho vrásčitá ruka byla chladná a pořád v ní měl silný stisk. Nevypadal moc přívětivě, přesto z něj vyzařovalo cosi zvláštního. Něco mi ho připomínalo, jen jsem netušila co.
„Ano, to jsem já, copak by jste potřebovala slečno?“
„Před pár dny jsme spolu mluvili po telefonu a řekl jste, že jste viděl mou matku. Můžu vám ukázat fotku, jestli je to skutečně žena, kterou jste viděl?“
Podíval se na mě, povytáhl obočí a vrásky na čele se více nakrabatily.
„Promiňte, co jsem věděl, to jsem vám řekl. Teď mě prosím omluvte, ale mám ještě spoustu práce.“
Otočil se a chystal se zavřít dveře. Strčila jsem tam bez rozmyslu ruku a podívala se na něj.
„Počkejte prosím, moc prosím, co víte o mé matce?“ Hlas se mi třásl a měla jsem pocit, že snad začnu brečet.
„Slečno, moc toho není, tehdy jsem si přísahal, že na všechno zapomenu. Nemám co víc k tomu říct.“
Muž byl odhodlaný rozhovor ukončit a jít zpět do domu. Nechtěla jsem se vzdát a odejít bez toho aniž by mi řekl víc. On ji znal, a věděl něco, co já ne. To mě hnalo k rychlému jednání a zkoušení všech možností jak s ním promluvit.
„Pane Siberte, co se tehdy stalo, přeci jste říkal, že jste mou matku viděl. Chci jen pár informací, na tom přeci není nic špatného, navíc když jsem její dcera. Mám právo vědět co dělala a kde je… a…!“ Zvýšila jsem hlas a snažila se nedat najevo svoji nervozitu. Musela jsem vypadat odhodlaně a dát najevo, že neodejdu.
„ No dobře, dobře… ano, viděl jsem ji a…“
Rozhlédl se na obě strany, jako by se díval jestli tam není někdo koho by nerad viděl, a nakonec mě pozval dovnitř.
„Pojďte prosím dál, ať tu nestojíme všem na očích.“
Uvolnil prostor ve dveřích a nechal mě projít.
„Děkuji.“ Vydechla jsem úlevou a měla jsem radost ze svého malého vítězství.
Vedl mě úzkou chodbičkou hned do první místnosti. Byla pěkně zařízená, jednoduchá a útulná. Moc nábytku tam nebylo a přesto působila uklidňujícím dojmem. Větší stůl, uprostřed světlé sedačky, která byla do půlkruhu, vedle servírovací stolek a u jedné ze stěn další menší stolek s šachovnicí, u nějž byly dvě židle. Na stěnách visely obrazy. Vypadá to, že se hodně zajímá o malby. Jen zatažené závěsy na oknech se mi zdáli zbytečné a nevkusné.
„Posaďte se prosím tady.“
Nalil sobě i mě limonádu, zapálil si dýmku a usadil se.
„Řeknu vám, viděl jsem vaši matku. Byla to určitě ona. Tehdy vypadala hodně ztrápeně. Když jsem ji viděl poprvé, byla ve společnosti několika mužů. Dva, možná tři, už si nepamatuju přesně, a měla sebou i malé dítě. Abych pravdu řekl, tuhle skupinu lidí jsem neměl vůbec rád. Byli v jakési náboženské sektě, co si říkala Řád zasvěcených. Kolovalo tu o nich hodně zvěstí a věřte, nebylo to nic pěknýho. Pro mě to byly naprostí fanatici. Ale tak byla to jejich věc, jejich volba. Ještě toho dne, co jsem je viděl, se ta žena pozdě večer objevila u mého domu. Zprvu jsem ji hned nepoznal. Měla na sobě dlouhý černý kabát s kapucou na hlavě. Prosila, ať vezmu její dcerku a pomůžu ji ochránit. Chtěla, abych se postaral o její návrat domů, k jejímu otci. Nechtěl jsem to udělat, ale toho dítěte mi bylo líto. Mohlo mu být tak šest, možná sedm let. Bylo ubrečený a klepalo se zimou. Sotva mělo nějaké oblečení na sobě. Ta žena vypadala opravdu zoufale a tak jsem ji slíbil pomoc, děcko od ní vzal a dal slib, že nikdy nikomu neřeknu, že se u mě kdy ukázala. Ani nevím, proč si vybrala zrovna mě, snad proto, že jsem dřív býval knězem. Každopádně mi bylo příliš divný, aby matka nechala svoje dítě u cizího člověka, o kterém nic neví.
Netuším, co se tam dělo, ale později jsem se dočetl v novinách o mrtvých, které nikdo nedokázal identifikovat.“
Na chvíli se odmlčel, dlouze potáhl z dýmky a zadíval se na fotografie, vystavené na jedné ze stěn.
„Víte, tam nahoře na svahu, bývala chatrč a ta toho dne v noci shořela. Ty mrtvé prý našly tam. Hodně se mluvilo o tom, že jsou to lidi z té sekty. To vám ovšem nemohu nijak potvrdit. Já tehdy svůj slib splnil. Vzal jsem to děcko, vyhledal jeho rodinu a odvezl ho nazpět. Po těch zprávách jsem byl rád, že jsem to dítě vzal, kdo ví, co by se s ním stalo.“
„Říkáte, že té holčičce bylo šest, nebo sedm let? Ale to by potom znamenalo, že jsem tu byla i s matkou a vrátila se bez ní.“
Snažila jsem se utřídit myšlenky a nechápala, proč maminka neodjela taky. Cítila jsem zklamání. Ne proto, že teď jsem věděla něco víc, ale vědomí, odložení dítěte k cizímu člověku ve mně vzbuzovalo smíšené pocity. Možná k tomu měla důvod, možná opravdu neměla na výběr a nebo prostě jen nechtěla, abych byla s ní. Myšlenek jsem měla hodně a která z nich byla ta správná, zůstávalo pro mě otázkou.
„Ano, slečno, jsem si jistý, že jste to byla vy,“ upřeně se na mě díval a přes jeho tvář se mihl zvláštní výraz, „prosím, buďte opatrná. Hodně opatrná. Jakmile se dozví, že jste tu, půjdou po vás jako hladoví vlci. Už tehdy tu prohledávaly okolí. Nevím, proč stále mají o vás takový zájem, ale věřte, že oni jsou všude. Všude mají své lidi. Proto jsem se nechtěl s vámi o tom bavit. Myslel jsem, že když vám do telefonu řeknu jen část, s tím, že víc nevím, tak zůstanete doma. Doufal jsem v to. Tahle vaše cesta je hodně nebezpečná. Kdo vám vůbec o mě řekl? Máte ten dopis u sebe?“
„Nevím, kdo psal ten dopis, byl bez podpisu. Můžete se na něj podívat, vzala jsem ho s sebou. Víte, jsem tu se svoji kamarádkou a přeci jen, uběhla už spousta let a…“ Zamyšleně si prohlížel dopis a po chvíli mi ho vrátil zpět.
„To není ode mě, musel vám to poslat někdo, kdo o tom něco ví. Je někdo s kým jste ještě mluvila?“
Začínala jsem se bát a nevěděla co si myslet o záhadném dopisu.
„S nikým, jen se svojí kamarádkou a ta je tu se mnou, jak jsem vám už řekla.“
„Zvláštní… Vaše matka vám tehdy zachránila život, když vás opustila u mého domu. Tím jsem si dnes už téměř jistý.“
„Je někdo, kdo by ještě mohl o ní něco vědět?“
„Nevím, možná někdo z bývalých členů, ale to vám nemůžu zaručit. Tyhle lidi, pokud se jim povede dostat se ze spárů sekty, tak se moc na veřejnosti neukazují a už vůbec o tom co prožili a co se tam děje, nemluví.“
„A proč po mě tedy tak jdou, byla jsem přece dítě? Nemohla jsem je nijak ohrozit.“
„O tom se vaše matka nezmínila. Prosila mě jen o pomoc a vyhověl jsem, jestli vaše matka ještě žije, pak vám nejlíp na tyto otázky odpoví ona. Osobně nedoporučuju se v tom nějak vrtat. Radši byste se měla vrátit domů a zapomenout na to. To je má rada. Teď, kdybyste mě omluvila, mám skutečně hodně práce. Řekl jsem vám vše, co jsem věděl. Víc toho bohužel není.“
Zvedl se a dal tím najevo, že už nic neřekne.
„Dobře, rozumím. Moc vám děkuji, že jste si na mě udělal čas. Na shledanou.“
„Na shledanou slečno a hodně štěstí. Poslechněte mou radu a vraťte se domů. A… prosím vás, s nikým o mě nemluvte. Naši schůzku si nechte jen pro sebe.“
Poté, co jsem šla zpět k hotelu, mě začali sledovat nějací muži. Měli černé, dlouhé kabáty. Když jsem došla do hotelového pokoje, tak Stefany byla pryč. Věci byly rozházené po celém pokoji, jako by někdo něco hledal. Chtěla jsem rychle odejít, ale než jsem stihla seběhnout schody, tak ti muži byly dole v hale. Napadlo mě utéct po požárním schodišti a zmizet. Bála jsem se jít i na policii a nahlásit zmizení Stefany a tak jsem tam zavolala z nejbližší budky a vymyslela si, že nejsem ve městě, abych mohla přijít osobně. Nejprve se nechtěli se mnou o tom bavit, že prý neuběhla doba osmačtyřiceti hodin, aby se tím vůbec zabývaly a navíc zpochybňovali, že by se ztratila. Prý nemám jistotu a pokud nejsem ve městě, nemůžu si být jistá. Nakonec se ale zdálo, že už je nebaví poslouchat, co jim říkám a tak mě poslali na oddělení, které bylo ve vedlejším městě. Ještě ten den jsem tam jela a nahlásila zmizení Stefany tam. Znova jsem si vyslechla to, co od prvních policistů, o předpisech a uplynutí doby od zmizení. Nakonec se mi jednoho mladýho policistu povedlo přesvědčit. Vzal si ode mě telefonní číslo a poslal mě domů. Hned na to jsem sedla na letadlo a odletěla z Francie. Jenomže, když jsem přijela domů, tak jsem tam viděla stejně oblečené lidi, co ve Francii. Byli přímo u našeho domu! Ani jsem nečekala, až odejdou a rovnou jsem se vydala pryč. Rozhodla jsem se, že pojedu někam, kde mě nikdo nezná a doufala, že mě už neobjeví. Sice jsem zůstala v Británii, ale vybrala jsem si městečko Batley, kde jsem nikdy nebyla a nikoho odsud neznám. Nechtěla jsem na sebe nijak upozornit, peněz taky už moc nebylo a tak dokud to šlo, jsem byla v levnějších ubytovnách a většinu dne se toulala ulicemi. Nakonec došly peníze, které jsem u sebe měla, z ubytovny mě vyhodil majitel a já se vzdala a nechala dny volně plynout. Zbytek už znáš sám až na dnešní den. Šla jsem se projít a na náměstí jsem opět viděla ty muže. Netuším, jak mohli přijít na to, že jsem zrovna tu, ale rozhodně to vypadalo, že někoho hledají. Cestou k tobě mě nikdo nesledoval, tím jsem si jistá a radši jsem i několikrát obešla dům.“
Tím jsem zakončila své vyprávění a čekala na Tomovu reakci. Jeho obličej vypadal jako by nad celým příběhem neustále přemýšlel. Ještě dlouhou chvíli po tom, co jsem skončila, mlčel. Postavil se, zkřížil si ruce na prsou a šel k oknu. Byla jsem z toho všeho nervózní, pořád si hrála s prsty a nevěděla kam se mám podívat.
„No tak se na to podíváme.“
„Říkáš, že ta sekta se nazvala Řádem zasvěcených, někdo unesl tvojí kamarádku a tebe sledovali. Na internetu snad něco o nich objevíme. Šikovná to věcička dnešní doby, nemyslíš?“
„To je, jen jestli tam něco najdeme a jak potom pokračovat dál? A jak mě našli tady? I když se tam něco najde, tak to pořád neznamená, že najdu svoji matku, Stef a že mi dají pokoj jednou pro vždy.“
„Tyhle odpovědi tam nenajdeme, ale máme odrazový můstek a stejně tak mám i pár známých co se v takových sektách trošku vyznají. Věř mi. Dneska si už půjdeme odpočinout a ráno se do toho pustíme. Čeká nás hodně práce.“
„Nás? Tome, já jsem opravdu moc ráda za tvou pomoc, ale nechci tě nijak vystavit nebezpečí. A tohle nevypadá na procházku růžovou zahradou.“
„Jak jsem ti již jednou řekl. Jakékoliv odmítnutí neznám, tudíž ráno se pustíme do práce. Musíme být opatrní.“
Mrkl na mě a pak se podíval pohledem, kterým říkal, abych mu věřila.
„Dobře tedy, tak ráno se do toho pustíme. Myslím, že teď si dám sprchu a pak si půjdu lehnout. Pokud nejsi proti.“
„Nejsem, jen běž, já za chvíli půjdu taky, jen si ještě udělám pár poznámek.“
Sotva se začalo rozednívat, už jsem byla vzhůru. Venku mrzlo a na oknech se vytvářely nádherné krystalové vzory. Vždycky jsem se ráda dívala, jak jsou jednotlivé hvězdičky do sebe poskládané a ve finále utvoří obraz. Uklidňovalo mě to a ani dnešek nebyl výjimkou. Zimu jsem milovala už od dětství. Každý rok jsme s tátou jezdili lyžovat do Alp a byly tam většinu zimy. Někdy se k nám přidala i Stefany se svými rodiči.
Potichu jsem vyšla z pokoje a šla do kuchyně.
„Dobré ráno, jsi nějak brzo vzhůru.“
Tom už chystal snídani a pobíhal z pokoje do kuchyně. Nečekala jsem, že už bude taky vzhůru a lekla jsem se ho tak, že sem nebyla v tu chvíli schopná slova.
„Dobré ráno, ty už taky nespíš? Nemohla jsem dnes nějak spát a vzbudila jsem se brzo.“
„Taky jsem nemohl dospat. Přemýšlel jsem o té sektě. Dnes obvolám pár známých a uvidíme, jestli někdo něco bude vědět. Teď se nasnídáme, dáme si kafe a pak se pustíme do práce.“
„Dobře, jsem pro. Je toho celkem dost na práci.“
„To je. Našel jsem i nějaké knihy, kde se církev o sektách zmiňuje, ale bohužel zatím se mi nepovedlo najít nic o Řádu zasvěcených. Nejspíš nejsou až tak starý jak by se podle názvu mohlo zdát. Uvidíme, jaké štěstí budeme mít v dalším hledání.“
„Netušila jsem, že už jsi začal pátrat. Pomohla bych ti.“
„Nevadí, nehledám dlouho. A nechtěl jsem tě budit.“
Tom připravil snídani na stůl. Bylo na něm vidět, že otázka okolo Řádu ho dost zaujala a je pevně rozhodnutý, přijít věci na kloub. Koneckonců i já sama chci vědět, co se děje a proč mě pořád sledují. A hlavně, co je s mojí mamkou a kam zmizela Stefany. Přemýšlela jsem o tom celou snídani a s Tomem ani nepromluvila.
„Tak co, vrhneme se na to?“
Tou otázkou mě vytrhl z myšlenek plných chaosu.
„Ale ano, můžeme začít. Čím dřív se do toho pustíme, tím víc se toho dozvíme. Mám projít knihy? Abych pravdu řekla, nerada bych seděla za počítačem a hledala takovým způsobem. Zcela jistě bych byla brzo rozlámaná a nedokázala bych se tolik soustředit.“
„No dobře, proč ne. Já si tedy vezmu na starost internet a ty knihy. Mohli bychom později zajít do knihovny a zkusit i tam vyhledat nějaké články. Máme docela dost možností, jak se dostat k informacím, které potřebujeme.“
„To není špatný nápad. Jdu se tedy pustit do těch knih. Když něco objevím, tak dám vědět, nebo mám lepší nápad. Poznačím to, a jakmile skončíme oba, tak si výsledky probereme.“
Tom se na mě podíval a v jeho očích bylo vidět nadšení.
„Tak s chutí do práce. Kdybys něco potřebovala, jsem v pracovně.“
Vzal si kafe a odešel do pracovny. Rozhlížela jsem se po knihovně a přemýšlela, kde začnu. Vytáhla jsem si několik svazků tlustých knih o náboženství, vzala si je ke stolu a s povzdechem si sedla. Přemýšlela jsem kde a jak začnu. V některých byl rejstřík, tak to šlo rychleji. Ten ovšem nebyl ve všech a tak jsem jimi listovala. Po několika hodinách marného hledání už mě začaly bolet oči i záda. Začínala jsem být bezradná a doufala jsem, že aspoň Tom něco našel. Šla jsem za ním do pracovny, abych si aspoň chvíli odpočinula. Měla jsem toho čtení už docela plný zuby a byla jsem i zklamaná.
„Nic, naprosto vůbec nic. Samé články o jezuitech, katolících, templářích, dokonce v jedné knize i Převorství Sionské, satanismus, ale nikde nic o Řádu zasvěcených. Prošla jsem téměř všechny knihy. Zůstaly mi snad jen tři, které ještě prolistuju. Moc nadějí tomu nedávám. Jak jsi na tom ty?“
Vzdychla jsem si a sedla do protějšího křesla. Podíval se na mě, sundal si brýle a prsty si promnul oči. Poprvé jsem ho viděla v brýlích.
„No, něco málo jsem objevil, ale moc toho není. Je celkem těžký něco o nich najít a vypadá to, že jsou i hodně opatrní aby o sobě příliš mluvili. Spíše to jsou všechno informace jakoby z druhé ruky. Nic přímo od nich.“
„A co jsi tedy zjistil?“
„Řád zasvěcených byl založen v Ženevě. Finančním šéfem byl nějaký Antonius von Balte. Je tu spousta článků o úmrtích. V téhle sektě jsou opravdu fanatici. Přidávají se k nim lidi většinou bohatí a celí svůj majetek pak odkazují jim.“
„Takže ty lidi, co mě sledují, by klidně byli i schopní mě zabít? Jestli to teda dobře chápu..“
„Nejspíš ano, podle toho co se tu dočítám, rozhodně nemají žádné zábrany.“
„Půjdeme se ještě podívat do knihovny, třeba tam najdeme něco víc. A zavolám pár lidem, aby mi poskytli nějaké informace. Třeba budou vědět, na koho se obrátit přímo z bývalých členů. O jednom takovém, co kontakty na tyhle lidi má, vím. Je to vlastně taky takový fanatik, jen nejde přímo do sekty, ale shromažďuje si fakta.“
„To je taky nějaký novinář?“
„Ne tak docela. Kdysi to byl profesor sociologie a jeho oblíbenou částí výuky bylo náboženství a různé sekty, které naopak byly proti církvi jako takové. Natolik se o tohle téma začal zajímat, že ukončil svou praxi ve škole, aby měl více času na své teorie. Na internetu má svůj blog, kam píše svá zjištění, i když tam nedává úplně všechny informace, které získá. Prý je to i z důvodu bezpečnosti lidí, od kterých je má. A v tomhle ho naprosto chápu. Taky bych nechtěl nikoho, kdo mi nějaké informace poskytne ohrozit a tím spíš když se jedná o sektu jako je ta naše.“
Tom měl v obličeji vážný výraz a byl zcela zaujat informacemi, které se mu povedlo získat. Vypadalo to, jako by byl sám se sebou spokojen, i když pořád neměl vše, co chtěl.
„Vydrž ještě chvilku prosím, jdu zavolat jestli se mi povede něco zjistit.“
„Jo, dobře, já počkám zatím vedle a projdu ty zbývající knihy.“
Po odpočinku, který prospěl nám oběma a telefonátu, jsme se vydali do knihovny. Pro jistotu jsme si vzali taxi. Sice rychlou chůzí bychom tam byli za půl hodiny, ale Tom usoudil, že to tak bude lepší. Celou cestu jsme seděli vedle sebe mlčky a střídavě sledovali řidiče i domy, kolem kterých jsme projížděli.
„Jsme tady, pane, bude to za 6,40 liber prosím.“ Řidič se otočil k nám a čekal, až mu zaplatíme. Tom sáhl do kapsy u bundy a vytáhl peněženku.
„Tady máte a zbytek si nechte, děkujeme vám.“
Vystoupili jsme z auta a vyšli schody do knihovny. Hned mě upoutala stavba budovy. Byla ve stylu klasicistní architektury. Ve velké vstupní hale s mohutnými sloupy, velkým křišťálovým lustrem a pultem z masivního dřeva se na nás podívala knihovnice a přívětivě se usmála. Tomáš šel k pultu a začal si s knihovnicí povídat.
„Dobrý den, rádi bychom do oddělení náboženské literatury s možností internetu,“
„Dobrý den. Na jak dlouho to budete chtít?“
„Dejte nám to prosím na pět hodin, děkujeme.“
„Chcete jeden nebo dva počítače?“
„Dobře, tady máte čísla volných počítačů. Jsou hned vedle sebe. Najdete je v prvním patře.“
Podala nám lístky s čísly a usmála se.
„Děkujeme a pěkný den.“
„Také vám přeji pěkný den.“
Vyšli jsem schody, prošli dlouhou řadou regálů plných knih a zamířili rovnou k počítačům. Tom zadal v databázi vyhledání Řádu zasvěcených a vyjelo hned několik odkazů. Začali jsme každý odkaz postupně otevírat do nového okna a hledali informace, které by nás dostali o další krok dopředu. Čas ubíhal a my měli už několik poznámek zapsaných.
Moji pozornost náhle upoutal muž sedící jen pár stolů od nás. Byl oblečený jako kdyby neměl na nové oblečení a neupravený. Starý ušpiněný kabát, kalhoty nad kotníky a i boty vypadaly, že už dosloužily. Pozorně jsem si ho prohlížela a i on na nás co chvilku koukal.
Mírně jsem se naklonila k Tomovi a šeptem ho upozornila na toho muže.
„Podívej, ten muž támhle u toho stolu, zdá se mi jako by nás celou dobu co jsme tu, sledoval.“
Tom nepatrně otočil hlavu od počítače a podíval se směrem, jakým jsem ho nasměrovala.
„Nevím, kdo by to mohl být, každopádně musíme být opatrní. Moc často se na něj nedívej. Budeme pokračovat v práci, jako by se nic nedělo. Hlavně nesmíme dát najevo, že o něm víme. Budu ho sledovat, možná se ti to jen zdá a je to jen zvědavý čtenář.“
Ještě nějakou dobu jsme ho sledovali a jak se zdálo, i on se na nás občas podíval. Znova jsme se ponořili do práce a zapomněli na čas, který tak rychle ubíhal.
Těsně před zavírací dobou k nám přišla knihovnice a upozornila nás, že je čas končit.
„Promiňte, nerada vyrušuji, ale za pár minut budeme zavírat.“
„Ale jistě. Omluvte nás, slečno.“
Tomáš se na mě podíval a oba jsme začali sklízet své poznámky. Když jsme se podívali směrem, kde seděl ten muž, tak už tam nebyl. Ani jeden z nás nepostřehl, kdy odešel.
„Myslím, že to není tak dlouho, co odešel. Ještě před chvilkou tu seděl. Každopádně si budeme dávat pozor. Ten chlapík se mi moc nezdál. Ven vyjdu první a když bude klid, vrátím se pro tebe.“
„Myslíš, že by mohl být jedním z nich?“
„Doufám, že ne. Radši na to nebudeme spoléhat. Seděl tu dost dlouho a sledoval nás. Jestli je jedním z nich, pak může být kdekoliv a vyčkávat. Nebo nás jen bude pozorovat, aby získal informace o tom, co děláš a kde jsi. Uvidíme, jestli ho ještě potkáme.“
Zamyslela jsem se nad tím, co právě říkal. Snad nebyla chyba ho do toho zatáhnout. Nerada bych, aby se mu něco stalo.
Tom vyšel z knihovny a já na něj čekala u recepce. Po chvíli se vrátil a mávl na mě. Šla jsem k němu a tázavým pohledem se ho ptala, jestli ho viděl. Jako by tušil mou otázku, začal sám bez její vyslovení mluvit.
„Nikde jsem ho neviděl. Asi to byl opravdu jen nějaký čtenář.“
„To jsem ráda, nevím co bych dělala v opačném případě.“ S úlevou jsem si vydechla a hned mi bylo lépe. To vypětí, které mě provázelo nebralo konce.
Ulice byly téměř liduprázdné. Rozhodli jsme se, že projdeme parkem za knihovnou a teprve potom si vezmeme taxi. Cesta proběhla v klidu a ani u domu nikdo nebyl. Opět jsem se uklidnila a oddechla si.
„Tak co, porovnáme si naše objevy a dáme to dohromady? Nebo to necháme na zítra?“
„Radši bych to udělala ještě dneska. Jsem docela zvědavá, co všechno se nám povedlo najít. A aspoň se dostaneme a krok dále.“
Nechtěla jsem čekat do druhého dne. Musela jsem vědět, co jsou zač, i když z toho, co jsem četla, jsem se těch lidí bála.
„Dobře tedy. Já si ještě vyřídím jeden telefon a můžeme se na to vrhnout. Snad i můj známí něco našel, co by pomohlo. Za chvilku jsem zpět.“
„Jistě, já tu zatím připravím, co máme a půjdu se trochu opláchnout.“
Připravila jsem veškeré poznámky, které měl Tom i já a šla do koupelny. Zadívala jsem se do zrcadla a připadala jsem si, jako bych zestárla nejmíň o deset let. Neupravená, oči oteklé od počítače i z knih a začaly se mi dělat kruhy pod očima. Celkově jsem působila dojmem holky, která na sebe nedbá a je jí jedno jak vypadá. Vůbec nevypadalo, že by mi bylo osmnáct let. Opláchla jsem se ve studené vodě a na chvíli zavřela oči. Bylo to uvolňující a cítila jsem, jak se mé oči oddávají chladné vodě. Když jsem šla zpět, zaslechla jsem ho jak stále s někým telefonuje. Ne že bych byla nevychovaná, ale upoutala mě jeho věta a aniž bych si to uvědomila, zůstala jsem stát a poslouchala, co říká.
„Je u mě pořád… Jistě dohlédnu na ni, kdyby se něco dělo postarám se o to…Nic netuší…Nějaké informace sice mám, ale většinou jsou nepodstatné a nebo takové, co se dají najít běžně na internetu…Nebudu jí přece říkat všechno… O tu ženskou bude postaráno taky, to už jsem zařídil.“
„Ano pane…zavolám, jakmile to půjde… na shledanou.“
„Co to má být!? Patří k nim!? To není možný. Přeci by mi nepomáhal a potom… potom co, předhodil by mě jim jako vlkům?“
Nespočet otázek mi najednou přišlo na mysl. Všechno se najednou obrátilo proti mně a měla jsem pocit jako bych zase padala dolů. Cítila jsem se podvedená a zklamaná. Ne, to nesmím! Už znova nespadnu a nebudu se tak cítit! Budu dělat, že nic nevím a uvidím, kam to povede dál. Musím být opatrná a radši podstatné věci, co dělám nebo kam jdu, nebudu říkat.
Šla jsem si rychle sednout do pokoje a čekala, až se objeví. Snažila jsem se vypadat klidně a doufala, že nedám na sobě nic znát.

Víš, na to co se tam stalo, je to neúměrně dlouhé. Dozvíme, že ji novinář našel promrzlou kdesi venku a vzal k sobě domů. A něco se jí stalo a tuto informaci jinými slovy pořád opakuješ. Není to moc čtivé. Možná máš vymyšlen zajímavý příběh (i když přednáška o iluminátech naznačuje, že se bude jednat o v poslední době ohrané téma), ale neumíš ho podat dramaticky, napínavě. Dialogy jsou toporné a ukecané, ve skutečnosti lidé takto nemluví. Asi se na mě naštveš, ale já tu nevidím začátek poutavého románu, jen rozvláčné psaní, kde se uděje pramálo děje.

Sviečka zo sójového vosku s DREVENÝM knôtom v hnedom skle - 4vône - 105g/28hod
- Cena poštovného
Vianočná krajinka - Svieža chladivá vôňa, ktorá evokuje pocit akoby ste sa prechádzali po snehom pokrytej krajinke. Vôňu otvárajú tóny eukalyptu, mäty, borovice, ktoré postupne umocňuje chladivý gáfor, čierne korenie a ozón. Vôňu zjemňujú tóny brusníc a zmrznutého bobuľového ovocia
Vianočná fantázia - Je to klasická fantastická vianočná vôňa. Vôňu tvorí troj-kombinácia zmesi pomarančovej, škoricovej, klinčekovej silice a arómy, ktorú uzatvárajú jemné citrusové tóny a nádych vianočného korenia.
Vianočná pohoda - Veľmi zaujímavá, nie typická vianočná vôňa, ktorá sa jemne rozvíja tónmi citrusov a bazového kvetu, obohatená o šťavnaté zimné bobule. Vôňa prechádza do kvetinového podtónu prostredníctvom zamrznutého zemolezu,orgovánu, jazmínu a galbanu, pričom vôňu ukončuje zmyselný nádych santalového dreva, jantáru a vanilky.
Vianočný darček- Útulná vôňa ,ktorá začína tónmi sicílskeho bergamotu,sladkého drievka a karamelizovaného marshmallow. Vôňa postupuje tónmi tahitskej vanilky,tuberózy a kašmíru až je ukončená tónmi éterického pižma a santalového dreva. Ideálna vôňa pre chladné zimné večery pod dekou.
Sviečka zo sójového vosku s dreveným knôtom.Sviečky s dreveným knôtom prinášajú úplne iný a nový zážitok zo sviečky. Počas jeho horenia vydáva praskajúci zvuk,ako pri horení dreva napr.v krbe.
Mnohí z Vás ste si ich žiadali, mnohí ste sa o nich informovali a konečne ich nájdete aj v mojej ponuke. Knôt stojí pri horení stabilne a tak eliminuje občasný problém zapadnutého knôtu v roztopenom vosku.
Sójový vosk Kerasoy container je 100% rastlinný, vyrobený z čistého sójového oleja z kvalitných sójových bôbov v USA s certifikátom kvality. Je vyslovene vhodný na sviečky odlievané do nádobiek. Neobsahuje žiadne ropné, parafínové ani včelie produkty. Neobsahuje žiadne živočíšne produkty, palmový vosk ani žiadne pesticídy, herbicídy a toxické materiály. Je vyrobený podľa noriem FDA a spĺňa kritéria Košer certifikátu. Je biologicky rozložiteľný a nie je testovaný na zvieratách. Vhodná alternatíva aj pre vegánov. Pri horení nevylučuje žiadne škodlivé látky a doba horenia je dlhšia až o 50 %.
Sviečka je liata do krásnych sklenených dózičiek z jantárového skla s hliníkovým uzáverom zlatej farby,aby sa vôňa uchovala čo najdlhšie. Doba horenia je 25-28hod
Použitie a bezpečnostné upozornenie!
Drevený knôt je väčšinou náročnejší na prvé zapálenie, preto je vhodnejšie používať namiesto zápaliek zapaľovač, ktorého plameň je silnejší. Pokojne sa môže stať, že pri prvom zapálení ho bude potrebné zapáliť 3-5x (ak použijete zápalky). Nie je to chybou knôtu, ani výrobného procesu. Je potrebné ho zapáliť po celej jeho dĺžke, aby horel a vytápal vosk správne. Po nasledujúcich zapáleniach to už pôjde jednoduchšie a rýchlejšie, drevený knôt už bude nasiaknutý voskom a tak sa chytí skôr. Pred každým nasledujúcim zapálením je vhodné aj tento knôt skrátiť a to odlomením ohorenej čiernej časti.(ak ho odlomíte prstami, odlomí sa presne tam kde má, a presne toľko koľko sa má)
Pred zapálením odporúčam knôt skrátiť na dĺžku 3-6mm,aby nehorela príliš veľkým plameňom. Sviečku nechajte horieť minimálne 1hod a maximálne 4hod. Potom sviečku zhasnite,nechajte vosk stuhnúť,skráťte knôt a postup opakujte.Tak dosiahnete najdokonalejšie a najdlhšie horenie.Nenechávajte horiacu sviečku bez dozoru,chráňte pred deťmi a zvieratami.Dodržujte odstup medzi dvoma sviečkami minimálne 15cm. Nepremiestňujte horiacu sviečku.Pri nedodržaní bezpečnostných pokynov hrozí vznik požiaru!

Oh, Manini-the noble one! The feelings of longing are ever-increasing! What shall I do now?
The interest Sri Padmanabha had in me, seems to have diminished. Oh, Tandar Saranilaye- the personification of cupid!
Oh, Moon faced! Now the Cupid is shooting spear-like arrows on my bosom. Oh, my friend! After captivating my heart with great skill, now he betrays me. I had enough of it, is he justified in doing this?
Oh, Padmadaratna! Even dressing up charmingly is a burden to me because of my yearning for my beloved. Oh, Kilimozhi! Even in my dreams, I had no ill feelings for him, mind you? Oh, Manini!
Go at once to my beloved and tell him all about my feelings. If only my husband has a little sympathy for me, will he now delay coming to me?

I am in the process of moving from cable internet to T-mobile. I can not get my voip service to work. Incoming calls will work but Icant make outgoing calls. ANyone elsase have the issue and got it fixed. I won’t move to T Mobile without my voip servce.
I am having issues in getting my work VOIP phone to make and receive calls on TMOBILE 5G home internet … have been on the phone with T-Mobile support for HOURS with NO luck in getting this fixed. SUPER FRUSTRATING.
Does the VOIP hardware connect via Ethernet cable to the gateway? And that doesn’t work? Or are you trying to connect via Wi-Fi?
This VOIP phone requires a hardwired connection and is not wireless. So it is hardwired … I have attempted to connect directly into the network ports on the WHITE gateway and into a separate router. Unfortunately it did not help.

I woke up with a pounding headache, the remnants of last night’s binge still lingering in my body. The room spun around me as I struggled to sit up, groaning in agony. The sunlight streaming through the window only intensified the pain, causing me to squint my already bloodshot eyes.
As I stumbled my way to the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My disheveled hair was sticking out in every direction, and my face looked like it had been run over by a truck. I splashed cold water on my face, desperately trying to snap out of the fog that enveloped my mind.
Eventually, I managed to drag myself downstairs, the creaking wooden steps protesting my every move. The smell of stale alcohol and sweat hung in the air, a constant reminder of the debauchery that had taken place here just hours before. Empty bottles littered the floor, the remnants of my reckless night.
I needed fresh air, a change of scenery to clear my troubled mind. So, I stumbled out into the street, the sun blinding me momentarily before my eyes adjusted. My head throbbed with each step, a relentless reminder of my self-inflicted suffering.
It was then that I noticed it, standing ominously at the end of the street—an abandoned house. Its windows were boarded up, the paint on its walls peeling away like old skin. The front yard was overgrown with weeds, swallowing any trace of life that once existed there.
There was something about that house that drew me closer, an inexplicable pull that I couldn’t resist. It was as if it beckoned me, promising answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. So, against my better judgment, I made my way towards it.
As I approached the dilapidated structure, a chilling breeze swept through the air, sending a shiver down my already weakened spine. The front door stood ajar, a dark void inviting me inside. With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, I stepped over the threshold, the floorboards groaning beneath my weight.
The inside of the house was a twisted maze of decay and neglect. Every room I entered seemed to be frozen in time, trapped in a perpetual state of abandonment. The stagnant air hung heavy, suffocating my senses and making it difficult to breathe.
A flicker of movement caught my attention, and I turned towards the staircase. Shadows danced along the walls, their elusive forms taunting me from the darkness. I could feel eyes upon me, watching my every move with malicious intent.
I ascended the stairs, each step a symphony of creaks that echoed through the desolate house. The closer I got to the second floor, the more oppressive the atmosphere became. Whispers filled my ears, barely audible but laden with menace.
My heart raced in my chest as I reached the landing, unsure of what awaited me in the rooms beyond. With trembling hands, I pushed open the nearest door, revealing a room frozen in time. Dust-covered furniture lay shrouded in white sheets, their ghostly forms hauntingly beautiful.
But it was the mirror that drew me in—a tall, ornate reflection of my own fractured self. As I stared into its depths, my reflection shifted, contorted into something unrecognizable. The face that stared back at me wore a twisted smile, eyes gleaming with malevolence.
Fear gripped me like a vice as I stumbled out of the room, desperate to escape the horrors that lurked within this house. But the labyrinthine corridors seemed to shift and twist, leading me deeper into its heart instead of away.
Time became meaningless as I wandered through the house, my mind slipping further into madness with each passing moment. The whispers grew louder, their voices intertwining in a cacophony of deranged thoughts. Shadows danced and whispered, their presence suffocating me.
Finally, I found myself standing in front of another door—an ominous portal to the unknown. A sickening dread settled in the pit of my stomach, but something compelled me to push it open.
The room beyond was a nightmare come to life. Walls adorned with macabre paintings dripped with blood, their twisted imagery etched into my retinas. The stench of decay hung heavy in the air, mingling with the metallic tang of fear.
In the center of the room stood a figure, cloaked in darkness. Its mere presence exuded an aura of malevolence that sent chills down my spine. It turned towards me, eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. I could feel its gaze pierce through me, dissecting my very soul.
Paralyzed with terror, I watched as it raised a hand towards me, beckoning me forward. The world around me faded into a haze as I took a single step, then another, drawn towards my impending doom.
And then, in an instant, it was over. I woke up to find myself lying on the cold, hard ground just outside the abandoned house. The sun had set, casting long shadows that danced on the walls around me. The house loomed behind me, silent and foreboding.
As I struggled to my feet, a sinking realization washed over me—I had no memory of how I ended up here, or what had transpired within those haunted walls. But one thing was certain—the experience had left an indelible mark on my psyche.
Haunted by fragments of horrifying images and a sense of impending doom, I retreated from that accursed house, vowing never to return. But deep down, a part of me knew that the darkness within me had been awakened—a darkness that would forever gnaw at my sanity, lurking in the shadows of my mind, waiting to be unleashed once more.

When you see the title, it's hard to visualize the combination of popcorn and burnt Adour kiwi. But we promise you won't regret trying this recipe! Here again we'll use the same whipped cream dispenser employed for the Haddock Mousse with SortedFood, but this time it's for a sweet recipe. It's important, of course, to clean it thoroughly between each use. What is great about Adour kiwi is that it is delicious in any version: raw, charred, sweet or salty. Taste it and see! A delicious wine pairing with muscadet from Vignobles Günther Chereau.
In a skillet, melt the butter and cook the popcorn kernels until they pop. It will taste like butter.
Peel the kiwis, cut them into quarters and singe them with a blowtorch.
Sauté the chopped shallots, add the corn, sauté but do not brown. Add the cream and cook for 20 minutes. Let cool slowly, blend and pass through a strainer. Place in a whipped cream dispenser and keep warm.
Arrange the kiwi on the bottom of the plate. Pump the corn cream on top and sprinkle with popcorn and smoked paprika.
White Wine - Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie - Confluentia
A dish with sweet and unctuous flavors (cream, butter) with the acidic touch brought by the kiwi, which will marry perfectly with the freshness, the richness and the attractive zesty and peppery finish of this Confluentia, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie from Vignobles Günther Chereau in Loire Valley.
"The estate’s distinctively sloping terrain offers a stunning view across the entire vineyard and as far as the village of Saint Fiacre. Encircled by the Muscadet region’s two rivers, the Sèvre and the Maine, our wines enjoy a microclimate that gives them great minerality and freshness."
Want to now more about them ? It's right here .

In his keynote address, futurist and author Stefan Hyttfors spoke about the need to adapt to trends and create the future instead of trying to predict it.
To best harness the opportunities presented by the rapid advancement of technology, Krithivasan said during his keynote address, enterprises have to continuously adapt, both internally and externally.
(L-R) Moderator Rosanna Lockwood, Athora Netherlands’ Bart Remie, RHI Magnesita’s Ticiana Kobel, BNP Paribas’ Bernard Gavgani, and Enento Group’s Jeanette Jäger on working together for change.
Today, businesses operate in a context of perpetual change, characterised by global economic shifts, geopolitical disruptions, ambitious sustainability targets, new legislations, and rapid technological advancements. On top of that, the pace at which businesses need to anticipate change is only intensifying. To win in this complex and dynamic environment, enterprises need to be flexible at their core and always ready to digitally accelerate toward the next version of themselves.
To become a truly adaptive enterprise, an organisation needs to rethink internal structures, revise strategies, and set in place systems that pave the way for readiness and agility. An era defined by digital acceleration and perpetual change requires a different perspective on talent and skills, as well as reinvented management practices. This will help the business anticipate technological advancements in AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity much faster and help it become a part of a collaborative, hyper-responsive ecosystem.
A future-ready enterprise is not an end state; it demands continuous evolution. At TCS Summit Europe 2024, we will come together to share ideas and learn from inspiring speakers as we work together to reshape our organisations into perpetually adaptable enterprises.

Mike Buff, IN YOUR FACE because he was in Oz’s lens!
Before I ever became interested in photography, I was into BMX. I mean, INTO BMX. It was everything. And that started when I picked up my first issue of BMX Action magazine in 1982, collecting articles on anything to do with E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. The magazine tested the Kuwahara E.T., the same bike Elliott rode in the movie. I fell in love with the sport through Bob Osborn’s lens. From there I was HOOKED. I got my first BMX bike that year and from then on, that sport is what I ate, drank and slept. What does that have to do with photography?
In my case, a lot. I raced BMX and had a freestyle team. I read BMX Action religiously. Oz’s photos inspired me and my friends to ride. He shot all our heroes, and made them larger than life!
I had this image of Stu Thomsen jumping over the Redline-colored Porsches in my room, it was part of a calendar. One of those Porsches belonged to Oz.
I picked up a camera for the first time when I was in college, thanks to my mentor, AP Photographer Seth Perlman. A few months after I picked up a camera, I decided to shoot a BMX race. Long story short, I ended up shooting it for one of the magazines (BMX Plus!, not BMX Action) and ended up with a job for Plus! a few months later. I was still inspired by Oz, and other staffers at Action including Oz’s daughter Windy and the one-and-only Spike Jonze.
I never met Oz back then, at the end of the 80s he had more-or-less retired from the helm of the magazine and moved up to Carmel to pursue his passion for photography, this time fine art work. It was beautiful work, I remember seeing a few prints on the walls at GT Bicycles. His large format work is gorgeous, and you can see it on his site.
I finally had the chance to meet Oz a couple of years ago at a reunion for the best of the best Pro BMX racers, all my heroes (and most of them my friends now) in one place.
I scored an invite thanks to Greg Hill and made my way to Phoenix for it.
It was a gathering of the who’s who of BMX Racing in the 70s-90s. Greg Hill on the far left and Oz is almost hidden toward the center near the back row, looking a little like Ansel Adams.
Oz was there and I finally had a chance to meet him. Now he’s not only a hero, he’s a friend. We’ve kept in touch and I helped recommend a digital camera for him to get back into it, and he’s back with a vengeance. His photography still inspires me.
See his work at RobertOsborn.com. Check out “The BMX Years” gallery to see the images I grew up with, “The Large Format Years” to see his work after that, and “Recent Work” to see the beautiful work he’s doing now.

For bipolar junction transistors, the fundamental measure of amplification is the Beta ratio (β), defined as the ratio of collector current to base current (IC/IB). Other transistor characteristics such as junction resistance, which in some amplifier circuits may impact performance as much as β, are quantified for the benefit of circuit analysis. Electron tubes are no different, their performance characteristics having been explored and quantified long ago by electrical engineers.
Before we can speak meaningfully on these characteristics, we must define several mathematical variables used for expressing common voltage, current, and resistance measurements as well as some of the more complex quantities:
The two most basic measures of an amplifying tube’s characteristics are its amplification factor (µ) and its mutual conductance (gm), also known as transconductance. Transconductance is defined here just the same as it is for field-effect transistors, another category of voltage-controlled devices. Here are the two equations defining each of these performance characteristics:
Another important, though more abstract, measure of tube performance is its plate resistance. This is the measurement of plate voltage change over plate current change for a constant value of grid voltage. In other words, this is an expression of how much the tube acts like a resistor for any given amount of grid voltage, analogous to the operation of a JFET in its ohmic mode:
The astute reader will notice that plate resistance may be determined by dividing the amplification factor by the transconductance:
These three performance measures of tubes are subject to change from tube to tube (just as β ratios between two “identical” bipolar transistors are never precisely the same) and between different operating conditions. This variability is due partly to the unavoidable nonlinearities of electron tubes and partly due to how they are defined. Even supposing the existence of a perfectly linear tube, it will be impossible for all three of these measures to be constant over the allowable ranges of operation. Consider a tube that perfectly regulates current at any given amount of grid voltage (like a bipolar transistor with an absolutely constant β): that tube’s plate resistance must vary with plate voltage because plate current will not change even though plate voltage does.
Nevertheless, tubes were (and are) rated by these values at given operating conditions, and may have their characteristic curves published just like transistors.
