On to day 2 of #500words.
I'm feeling quite tired this morning. I stayed up later than I expected to last night and for some reason did not sleep well, just couldn't seem to settle for some reason.
I have stuck to the rule, resisting the urge to dive into my phone after silencing its alarm this morning, and nor have I opened my email.
It looks like it is sunny outside. I think we are going to visit my parents later today so some pleasant weather would be good. We'll be dropping off presents for my niece who has her birthday this weekend and chocolate eggs for her and the rest of my sisters' kids.
Yesterday I'd mentioned how this might fit into another practice that I am working on and in fact it fits into two, although one of them I had lapsed from slightly.
I've never been a brilliant speaker. In particular when I was younger I suffered from stammering and while this has subsided as I have gotten older - I think in part due to being a bit more confident in myself - I do still have troubles with speaking too fast or not clearly enough, particularly when I am nervous or stressed.
What I have been doing to try and work on that is making short audio recordings, just a couple of minutes, of myself speaking out loud while I try to do so clearly and confidently. To that end I have a dynamic vocal microphone mounted on my desk where I've had an audio mixer as part of my sound set up for some time. Along with the computer this gives me a easy way to make recordings.
Up until now I have been mostly speaking about the recording process and any changes I had made to approaching it, along with reading from news articles that interested me on the particular day in question.
Yesterday I read out the first of my #500days posts, and I also experimented with video recording this as well, having figured out a way to use the mounting hardware I have to position my webcam alongside the microphone.
While not quite as strange as listening to my own voice used to be, probably because we're all long used to mirrors, there is something odd about watching yourself speak. I suppose I'll get over that in time if I continue with this.
Despite the aim of this being to create some space from the clamouring of social media it's not easy to not think about the news. I'd probably describe myself as a realist than a pacifist - I think armed conflict should be a last resort but I don't feel we'll ever live in a world where it is completely off the table. What I don't understand it folks, particularly those with power and responsibility, who would charge into war with gleeful abandon. Our history is more than littered with tragedies where all too frequently the success has paled into insignificance next to the cost in human lives.
That's me done for today, time to see what the morning brings.

An external review of Fairtrade's certification standard for Hired Labour Organisations
GoodCorporation has supported Fairtrade International in updating its certification standard for hired labour organisations.
Fairtrade is an international organisation committed to promoting and certifying trade that respects both human rights and the environment. In so doing it strives to alter the way that international trade operates, for the greater good. Nearly two million producers and workers, belonging to more than 1,800 producer organisations, work with Fairtrade.
To become Fairtrade certified, the producer or the producer organisation must meet comprehensive requirements set out in Fairtrade's Standards. These standards include specifications for small producer organisations, plantations and traders, as well as specific standards for certain products. The Hired Labour Organisation (HLO) Standard applies to organisations that employ paid labour to supply Fairtrade certified products. It is divided into several sections, including social development, working conditions, environmental management and business aspects.
All Fairtrade Standards are subject to a defined and regular review process and the revisions are then subject to public consultation. In advance of the usual detailed research process involving internal stakeholders, Fairtrade's Standards Department and Human Rights Due Diligence centre of excellence wanted to canvass experts in particular topic areas in order to identify early on key areas of focus for the revision process. GoodCorporation was engaged to conduct this research.
Scope of the GoodCorporation analysis
In order to carry out the external analysis of the HLO Standard, GoodCorporation:
Researched the challenges facing Fairtrade in the agri-food sector with focus on human rights topics, and compared Fairtrade's approach to that of other certifications and labels
Worked with Fairtrade to identify experts for twenty key human rights topic areas including indigenous peoples, freedom of association, forced labour, child labour and child rights, gender, water and biodiversity, climate resilience and responsible trading.
Agreed a communication approach for the experts
Agreed an interview structure and template questions
Identified from the existing Standard requirements those that were relevant to each human rights topic area
Conducted our own review of the Standard requirements
Contacted and arranged interviews with more than twenty-five individuals or organisations
Conducted interviews with each of these individuals on those topic areas in relation to Fairtrade, the existing requirements of the HLO Standard, the ways in which the existing criteria could be strengthened, suggestions for improvement and emerging best practice, with focus on human rights topics.
Analysed the feedback, presented findings to internal stakeholders and drafted a gap analysis report and recommendations, both broad-based and specific, that will ultimately inform Fairtrade's revision of the Standard
During the interviews, we exchanged views with other specialists on issues such as forced labour, children's rights, gender, freedom of association and collective bargaining, health and safety, biodiversity management, etc.
Commenting on the review, Kate Birkinshaw, senior consultant at GoodCorporation, said: "Organisations such as Fairtrade have a delicate balance to strike between advancing best practice and setting standards that are achievable, so encouraging potential participants to join. Consulting with a wide range of experts to supplement the considerable expertise within Fairtrade proved to be a particularly valuable exercise. Fairtrade is to be commended for taking this approach to strengthen its requirements. These constructive exchanges are essential to identifying the best way to move international practice towards a more ethical and equitable system."

Yolanda Foster Scolds: "Discussing My Children's Health Issues Is Not OK"!
Yolanda Foster and her endless "journey" are infesting this season's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills like lice in a kindergarten class. Everyone's itchy. But Patient Zero is not happy (or rather claims she's not happy) about her children getting involved in her StoryLyme. Because she's only interested in exploiting them through sick-kid selfies, photoshopped by Yo herself! Yolanda took her her blog this week to go on…and on…and on about the many splendored feelings she has about her health, her children's health, her castmate's opinions about her and her children's health. You know, the usual!
Here are the highlights: 1) Yolanda bizarrely blames Lisa Vanderpump for exploiting Bella and Anwar Hadid's Totally Legitimate Illnesses! 2) Erika Girardi is a good friend because she lies. Confused? Well, read on!
After thanking Bravo viewers – AGAIN – for partaking in this "journey" with her <gag>, Yolanda writes, "I am happy to share that it's been a pretty good week…What is a good week? For me, it's about more bright moments of 'I've got this, I CAN DO THIS!' than usual. Treatments, pain and severe fatigue still keep me in bed 18 out of my 24 hours each day, but I am grateful for the luxury of reading and writing again. Healing the brain is a slow process and on its own clock, but I am for sure making steady progress–one day at a time."

Erika Girardi Defends Yolanda Foster's Lyme Disease Struggle; Dishes On Her Co-Stars
Even though Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Girardi is the new kid on the reality series' block, she is already turning out to be a fave among the series' watchers. Erika might have bimbo looks but don't get it twisted, the doll is likable–smart, tough and definitely, a straight shooter. A Beverly Hills lawyer's wife by day, then club queen, Erika Jayne, when the sun goes down, she recently chatted with Celebuzz about life with her series co-stars, and in particular, bff Yolanda Foster, who is still struggling with Lyme disease battle.
When it comes to forming close bonds with the RHOBH crew, Erika does not discriminate, she's an equal opportunity friend to all despite their shade and shenanigans, "I think that we're all friends and I talk, text, and visit all of them." Erika's bond with Yolanda however goes way beyond the surface as evidenced on a recent show, where the mega wealthy performer privately jetted her ailing friend from the hospital and back to her home. As far as the scuttlebutt among the RHOBH ladies with regards to Yolanda's health, Erika is not adding any fuel to their fire. In true blue friend fashion, Erika has proven herself to be a 'ride or die' friend to Yolanda, supporting her during her roller coaster Lyme disease ride. She brought Celebuzz up-to-date on her girl's health struggles, "She's having her good days and not so good days. I think there are more good days than bad days though. I think she's doing better now than when we shot the show, but she's certainly not out of the woods yet. As to why Erika have formed such a tight bond with Yolanda, the answer is simple their relationship is just simpatico, she explains, "I think Yolanda and I are just compatible, loving people that just kind of like the same things. When you find that kind of connection, you keep it."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Yolanda Foster Officially Files For Divorce From Husband David Foster
The recently ailing Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Yolanda Foster has officially filed for divorce from her husband of four years, David Foster. The Dutch former model's documents were filed at the Los Angeles Superior court yesterday and the grounds for the decoupling, 'irreconcilable differences.' The marriage is Yolanda's second and David's fourth.
News of the Fosters' divorce came as a shock to viewers of the reality show, as the pair always appeared so loving and caring towards one another. On December 1 of last year, the Fosters made the decision to release a statement explaining why chose to part company:
Yolanda Foster Sets the Record Straight About Her Health Issues For Doubting Co-Stars
Yolanda Foster, who stars on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is seemingly at her wit's end with the swirling rumors about her mysterious Lyme disease diagnosis. On Tuesday night's episode of RHOBH, Yolanda was alerted to the fact that co-star, Lisa Rinna spearhead a conversation with Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump (Eileen Davidson comes in on the tail end) about how her longtime Lyme disease battle could be all made up in her head. Foster took to her Bravo blog to shoot off some heartfelt thoughts and case facts for the confused coffee klatch quartet.
It was pretty apparent, Rinna wanted to make Yolanda's illness the topic of discussion at the gathering. Yolanda's Instagram shots were brought up. Rinna seemed to scratch her head as she pondered, why Yolanda posted a series of ailing Instagram shots of herself and then on the heels of these, added fun-filled vacay pics of herself and hubby, David, during an adventurous Canadian trip. Rinna asked the ladies, "How is she on a boat? Why the pictures? and What's her message?" Rinna could not grasp, why Yolanda has presented such a sick front all along and could then, turn around, and have a rip-roaring time, as if she had been suddenly cured.


Williams County Records Center is the primary repository for county records, both public and confidential. Records preserved and maintained by the Records Center are the institutional memory of Williams County. The Records Center streamlines costs, facilitates evidentiary value, and ensures that citizens will enjoy the protection and use of their records for centuries to come.
The Records Center of Williams County is managed by the Williams County Recorder. The Recorder's office keeps and maintains accurate land records that are current, legible and easily accessible. An important aspect of the Recorder's work is to index each document so it may be readily located. Accurate indexing makes it possible for persons searching land records to find the documents necessary to establish a "chain of title" (history of ownership) and ensures that any debts or encumbrances against the property are evident. These invaluable records are utilized by the general public, attorneys, historians, genealogists and land title examiners.
Every record has one or more values - administrative, fiscal, legal, and/or historical. When administrative usefulness of a record has been met, the custodian of that record - the elected official or department/agency head - must determine its disposition. The record must be tested against the remaining values to determine how long it should be retained. Records having links to fiscal and/or legal rights and responsibilities of the county and its citizens must be maintained for certain periods. Records having historical value are to be kept permanently.
By identifying records that have enduring value, legally disposing of records that do not have value, the county will ensure the history and heritage of its government and people will survive. Preservation efforts such as microfilming and environmentally secure storage further promise the longevity of documents with enduring value. Digital imaging projects can improve accessibility of records for government personnel and increase public access.
An overall records management program offers county offices avenues to increase efficiency and effectiveness of operations through reduced on-site storage, better tracking of and accessibility to inactive records, and improved work productivity.

The 49th Mixed Brigade (), was a mixed brigade of the Spanish Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. It was formed in February 1937 at the Guadalajara Front.

This ill-fated military unit suffered heavy casualties over and over again during its involvement in different conflicts of the Civil War. It was finally terminated after the bombing of Xàtiva in February 1939.

History

First phase
The 49th Mixed Brigade was formed in Guadalajara with four battalions, the "Pablo Iglesias Battalion", the "Triunfo Battalion" and the "Guadalajara nº 1" and "Guadalajara nº 2" Battalions, which became the 193, 194, 195 and 196 battalions respectively. The commander was Infantry Lt. Colonel Ángel de la Macorra Carratalá, a retired commander living in Madrid at the beginning of the conflict. The new unit was placed under the XII Division of the IV Army Corps of the Central Army.

On 9 March 1937 the 49th Mixed Brigade had its baptism of fire at the Guadalajara Front, where it became part of the Republican forces that fought the Fascist Italian Corpo Truppe Volontarie. Anti-Fascist Italian Major Arturo Zanoni took the command of the unit relieving de la Macorra for a brief period of time. He was then replaced by Infantry Commander Fulgencio González Gómez who had been captain at the 15th Almansa Regiment (Regimiento Almansa nº 15) in Tarragona. The commissar was Francisco Antón Sanz. After the Battle of Guadalajara the unit was sent to the Extremadura front on 14 May. Thereafter it joined the Cuenca Autonomous Group (Agrupación Autónoma de Cuenca) and went to the Huesca Front, returning to Madrid shortly after the failed offensive.

Battle of Brunete
On 8 July the 49th Mixed Brigade became part of the vanguard at the Battle of Brunete and after three days the brigade was placed under the A Division (División A) of the V Army Corps of the Central Army. Its mission was to advance from Portillera de las Rozas until the Vértice Cristo along the Majadahonda-Boadilla del Monte road until reaching the Vértice Manilla behind Romanillos. On 12 July the brigade crossed to the right flank and after two days it was made part of the Durán Division. During the night of the 24 to 25 July it relieved the 10th Mixed Brigade at the Perales River. Towards the final phase of the fight at Brunete it was placed under the V Army Corps and at the end of the battle it became part of the XLVII Division of the XVIII Army Corps.

Last phase and end of the unit
The following commander of the unit would be Militia Major Emeterio Rodríguez Sanabria. Under his command the 49th Mixed Brigade took part in the Battle of Teruel and later in the Battle of Alfambra, where its ranks were heavily depleted while trying to conquer 961 Hill (Cota 961) on 7 and 10 January. Only in the first day it suffered 213 casualties. On 3 April the unit found itself at the breaking point of the front which was submitted to vehement attacks by the forces of rebel general Antonio Aranda and it had to withdraw from the first line after being badly shattered. On 30 May the 49th Mixed Brigade was again very hard hit fighting the rebel Levante Offensive in the Ares del Maestrat-La Jana sector. Towards the beginning of July the much depleted unit was defending Castellón under the command of Infantry Major Amado Granell, but on the 15 it was definitively withdrawn for its reorganization. Following the Levante battles Militia Major Fernando Gil Ferragut became the new leader of the unit and the brigade was transferred to the less active southern front of the Levantine Army.

On 12 February 1939, when the train transporting the 49th Mixed Brigade was stopped at Xàtiva, a group of Italian Aviazione Legionaria bombers attacked the train station, leaving 129 dead and over 200 wounded. Many of the soldiers in the military train, as well as families and onlookers who were at the station to say farewell became victims of the bombing. There were so many dead among the members of the 49th Mixed Brigade, that the Republican high command desisted from reconstituting it, distributing the survivors among other military units.

Specialist commercial lender Private Mortgages Australia (PMA) has celebrated three years in business by doubling its volume of newly settled loans over the past financial year.
PMA managing director Tony Barbone said the firm's success was a result of an increase in small-to-medium businesses needing alternatives to the banks.
While Barbone was reluctant to mention the specific size of PMA's loan book, it had increased by 151% in its second year and then a further 115% in its third, most recent year, he told Australian Broker. PMA was first established in 2014.
Barbone said he had also noticed an increase in the number of brokers diversifying into the commercial lending sector.
PMA currently has over 3,000 brokers in its database with an increasing number referring commercial loans to the lender, Barbone said.
The directors of PMA expect a further 50% increase in the number of settled loans in the coming financial year.
The firm has recently focused on reducing channel conflict by bringing in 'subsequent referral fees' to referrer clients who approach PMA directly for additional loans. The firm has also amended its Referrer Rewards Program to make obtaining rewards simpler when referrers introduce clients to the lender.
"We have now become 'channel agnostic' whereby a borrower pays the same approval fee if they come direct to us or through a broker. We also allow our brokers to add a service fee or mandate," Barbone said.
It's important to respect the fact that these individuals are all broker clients, he added, especially since more than 90% of PMA's loans come from the third party channel.

Creating a Gulf Coast Community Handbook for Restoration and Adaptation

Through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Ready Estuaries Program, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) and Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP) are working together to create a handbook to identify strategies that incorporate resilience to climate change as a component of habitat restoration and protection.
The Tampa Bay National and Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries study areas, two of the National Estuary Programs (NEPs), are located on opposite sides of the Gulf of Mexico in Florida and Texas, respectively. The Tampa Bay Estuary is located in Florida's second largest metropolitan area, spans about 400 square miles, and is the state's largest open-water estuary. The Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries encompasses three of Texas's seven major estuaries – Aransas Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, and Upper Laguna Madre. Both areas are sites of ecological and biological diversity, and depend on port traffic, fisheries, and tourism and recreation for their economies. Population pressures, past environmental degradation, and future climate change impacts are of great concern to resource managers in these regions.
Habitat restoration and protection are top management priorities for both programs. In Tampa Bay, 4,700 acres of bay habitats have been restored in last 25 years with another 5,000 acres expected to be restored in next 10 years. In the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries area, 5,400 acres of land around the Nueces River Delta have been purchased for conservation and research purposes, and approximately 15,000 acres is part of an ongoing restoration effort to restore water circulation for the Matagorda Island marshes.
Many of the areas that are being protected and restored by these two NEPs not only provide critical habitat for fish and wildlife, but also serve as natural buffers against storm surges and sea level rise. Rising sea levels may exacerbate other problems, including loss of existing oyster bars, marshes, and mangroves, and associated decline of species associated with these habitats. In response, TBEP and CBBEP are working together to not only pinpoint the ecological and economic vulnerabilities of their coastal wetlands, but also to develop a guidebook that can act as a 'toolkit' of options for the incorporation of climate change impacts into habitat restoration activities in the region.
In 2009, TBEP and CBBEP were granted money through the Climate Ready Estuaries Program to develop a Gulf Coast Community Handbook. The handbook is meant to assist Gulf Coast communities in incorporating climate change into habitat protection and restoration activities by providing specific adaptation recommendations and strategies. This project is in the planning stage and is expected to include strategies such as using buffer zones in future restoration efforts so that marsh and mangrove habitats have room to naturally migrate landward as sea levels rise.
The guidebook will include information from other TBEP and CBBEP research projects and will be a 'toolkit' of adaptation options for habitat restoration projects in the face of climate change and sea level rise.

Tampa Bay Estuary Program
The Tampa Bay Estuary Program was created by Congress in 1991 to assist the community in restoring and protecting Florida's largest open-water estuary. As a designated "estuary of national significance," Tampa Bay is the economic and environmental centerpiece of a rapidly growing region supporting more than 2.3 million people.
Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program
The Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) is a local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1999. The CBBEP project area encompasses the 12 counties of the Coastal Bend Council of Governments extending from the land-cut in the Laguna Madre, through the Corpus Christi Bay system, and north to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Day Two of the Seahawks' offseason program included some agility drills, a lot of lifted weights and one large smile from Jon Ryan.
Why is the team's record-setting punter so happy? Take a look at the club's transactions in free agency, and look beyond the additions of quarterback Matt Flynn and middle linebacker Barrett Rudd and re-signings of leading rusher Marshawn Lynch and run-stuffing defensive end Red Bryant.
In the past few weeks, the Seahawks also have retained the players who were voted special teams captains the past two seasons – fullback Michael Robinson last season and cornerback Roy Lewis in 2010; and the linebackers who have led the units in coverage tackles – Heath Farwell, who had a league-high 21 in only 11 games last season, and Matt McCoy, who had 19 in 2010.
"When you have a special teams unit and those are your four core guys, most teams would love to have one of those guys," Ryan said today as he sat in front of his cubicle in the locker room at Virginia Mason Athletic Center. "We have all four and each one of them is a potential Pro Bowl special teams player."
The combined efforts of Farwell, McCoy, Lewis and Robinson, among others, are very important to Ryan. The Canadian-born punter led the league in punts downed inside the 20-yard line last season with 34, and already has broken – and re-broken – the franchise records for career average (45.0 yards), single-season average (46.6 last season), single-season net average (39.3 last season) and longest punt (77 last season) in his first four seasons with the Seahawks.
As easy as Ryan has made it look, players like Farwell, McCoy, Lewis and Robinson definitely make his job easier.
"The guys we got back are big-time guys," Ryan said. "They're not going to be on the ticker on ESPN, but they're big-time to us – especially on special teams."
The Seahawks' special teams got off to a rough start last season, when the 49ers' Ted Ginn returned a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the final four minutes of the opener to turn a two-point game into a 16-point victory for San Francisco. They also gave up a punt return for a touchdown in a Week 8 loss to the Bengals. But as the season progressed, the special teams got better and better.
"That game in San Francisco put us behind the eight-ball from the start with those two returns," Ryan said. "After that, we kind of hit our stride and we were a pretty solid special teams unit. So with these guys coming back, we can continue on. Rather than starting over, we can pick up where we left off."
For Farwell and McCoy, that would be racing down the field to drop those trying to return Ryan's punts and the kickoffs of Steven Hauschka.
"They bring a lot," Ryan said. "They bring an attitude to our special teams. Other teams, when they watch us on tape, those guys really jump off the tape. They're guys you have to be careful with, because they can really hurt you."
One last question: Now that Robinson is a Pro Bowl fullback, does he beg off his special teams duties?
"No," Ryan said before the question could be completed. "We won't let him."
After getting Wednesday off, the players will continue Phase 1 of the offseason program Thursday and Friday, and then follow the same schedule next week.
April 17, 2012 – 1:00 pm

Steven Dickey is a sculptor in Tampa, Florida. In 2012 he was commissioned by the Friends of the Riverwalk to make six bronze busts of prominent historical figures in Tampa's history to be displayed on the Tampa Riverwalk. The busts will be of James McKay Sr., Henry B. Plant, Vicente Martinez Ybor, Clara Frye, and Eleanor McWilliams Chamberlain. Each bust costs $15,000. Dickey also completed a sculpture of Al López in Tampa's Al López Park in 1992. Dickey also made the Fountain of the Dolphins sculpture at the South Beach-Franklin Delano Roosevelt Boardwalk in Staten Island. It was donated by the Staten Island Borough President's Office in 1998 and contains six bronze dolphin figures fastened to footings by posts and surrounded by wave-shaped rails. These posts contain fiber-optic cables and water jets that, when illuminated, emit green, blue and white lights.

Marzel Sets Up Party Advocating 'Transfer' of Arabs
Itim News Service
Right-wing activist Baruch Marzel presented his new political party on Sunday. The platform of the new party, called the Jewish National Front, includes the "transfer" of Arab communities to new locations, east of the Jordan River.
Marzel was number two on the list of the Herut party, which failed to win a seat in the last Knesset elections in January, 2003.
At a press conference held at the Agron House in Jerusalem, Marzel introduced his two senior partners in the party, Hen Ben-Eliyahu, a resident of the West Bank settlement of Eli and lecturer at the College of Judea and Samaria in the West Bank town of Ariel, and Dr. Andrei Weissman, a former security services official who immigrated to Israel from Brazil in 1982 and currently resides in Netanya.
The three presented the registration certificate of their new party, issued by the Registrar of Political Parties.
According to Marzel, the National Religious Party was the only party to submit an objection to the new party's registration, claiming that the names, as well as the goals of the two parties were too similar. But the objection was rejected, and the party was approved by the registrar on December 31.
The party heads are planning to convene a national committee and set up branches nationwide.
Dr. Weissman said he was a radical left-wing activist in Brazil. "I arrived in Israel, and to this day I serve as a reservist in the IDF," Weissman said, and added "I have five children and they have no future. Israelis are confused by right and left. We are all ready to accept any document and any accord. It is time that someone will look two generations forward."
Ben-Eliyahu stressed that the party did not see itself as a right-wing party, but rather as a center party. "The Likud is the extreme left, Labor is the insane left, and Meretz have crossed the lines, hurling rocks at soldiers," Ben-Eliyahu said. He added that their party's line "is equal to the line that characterized Zionism until 1948."
When asked about the role of the Moledet party, with which Ben-Eliyahu is associated, he replied that "Moledet died with the murder of Gandhi," referring to Rechavam Ze'evi who was murdered in 1991 by Palestinian militants in a Jerusalem hotel.
Marzel said they have "managed to form a party that will change the State of Israel and take over its leadership despite and in spite of the left-wing enemies of Israel." He added that "Sharon is in his twilight years in all senses, including his health."
Marzel called fellow right-wing parties Tkuma, Moledet and Agudat Israel to join the new party. He said that they would work together in the coming years to ensure the immigration of two million Jews, and the emigration of two million Arabs, in order to establish a balance of eight million Jews and two million Arabs.

What Is The SOWER Ministry
Why Join SOWERS
How We're Governed
Our Work Schedule
View Current Newsletter
RV With A Purpose
Fulfillment — Challenge — Fellowship — Service
As our name states, Servants On Wheels Ever Ready (SOWERS) are first and foremost SERVANTS, couples with a true missionary heart who are more interested in serving others than accommodating their own desires, and who choose this form of service through the SOWER Ministry. SOWERS are born-again Christians who have recreational vehicles (RVs), are self-supported, generally retired or semi-retired and delight in serving the Lord by using their various acquired skills and God-given gifts to perform volunteer work at various Christian ministries. They enjoy the RV lifestyle and the adventure of traveling throughout the United States and Canada while being able to serve Christian ministries with needed work. Some are full-time RVers while others maintain homes and travel periodically to work at the Christian ministries with which SOWERS has partnered.
SOWER backgrounds are varied and may include corporate executives, lawyers, doctors, pastors, construction tradesmen, real estate agents, farmers and truck drivers, as well as nurses, teachers, business leaders, seamstresses, artists or home managers. Some are knowledgeable, some semi-knowledgeable "weekend warriors" or just plain handy or good helpers. All skills are valuable and can be used. Willing hands and willing hearts, along with the ability to humbly take direction, are all that is needed.
Only married couples as defined in the Scriptures of one man and one woman may apply for membership in the SOWER ministry, and each person must complete and sign a separate application.
SOWERS consider themselves blessed to be able to serve their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, while combining this with the joy of RVing and the desire to fellowship with like-minded believers.
Romans 7:6: But now we, having been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

Mount Everest gets all the credit, but Hawaii's Mauna Kea (an idle volcano that's been around for, you know, a million years) is technically the world's tallest mountain. Technically. While it stands 13,800ft above sea level, more than two thirds of the hill is actually submerged underwater, which brings the total height to 33,136ft.
Best part of that mathematical sleight of hand is that you can get to the top of Mauna Kea without training, oxygen masks, or even having to ask a dude to carry your fanny pack. All you have to do is sign up for this tour and hop on a mini-coach.

After getting learned on the island's geology and enjoying a delicious lasagna dinner, you'll make the half-hour drive up a steep incline to Mauna Kea's (which means, "White Mountain", btw) peak. Temps at the top hover around 30F, so you'll be provided with an Arctic-style parka.
Though it's cold up top, the sky's clear for around 325 nights out of the year; chances are good you'll get an unspoiled view.

Le gouvernement Feijóo III (, ) est le gouvernement autonome de Galice entre le  et le , sous la  du Parlement.

Il est dirigé par le conservateur Alberto Núñez Feijóo, après la victoire du PP à la majorité absolue lors des élections parlementaires. Il succède au gouvernement Feijóo II et cède le pouvoir au quatrième gouvernement Feijóo, à la suite de la nouvelle victoire du PP aux élections de 2020.

Historique du mandat
Ce gouvernement est dirigé par le président de la Junte de Galice conservateur sortant Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Il est constitué et soutenu par le Parti populaire (PP). Seul, il dispose de 41 députés sur 75, soit 54,7 % des sièges du Parlement.

Il est formé à la suite des élections parlementaires du 25 septembre 2016.

Il succède donc au gouvernement Feijóo , également constitué et soutenu par le seul Parti populaire.

Formation
Alberto Núñez Feijóo fait savoir le , après une réunion extraordinaire du conseil de gouvernement, qu'il entend convoquer les élections parlementaires pour le  suivant. Il reconduit ainsi la tradition de faire convoquer le scrutin galicien avec celui du Pays basque et renonce donc à disposer d'un calendrier électoral en propre, avec des élections initialement annoncées pour le mois d'. Les urnes confortent le président sortant, en accordant de nouveau au Parti populaire 41 députés sur 75, tandis que le parti En Marea devance en suffrages le Parti socialiste.

Le , Alberto Núñez Feijóo obtient l'investiture du Parlement pour un troisième mandat consécutif avec le soutien des seuls députés du PP, puis il prête serment deux jours plus tard dans l'enceinte parlementaire, devant notamment le président du gouvernement Mariano Rajoy et la présidente du Congrès des députés Ana Pastor. Il indique le  que la composition de son troisième gouvernement, qui entre en fonction un jour après, sera identique à celle de l'exécutif sortant.

Remaniement
Le président de la Junte orchestre le  un remaniement gouvernemental afin de permettre à  et à  d'être candidats aux élections municipales du 26 mai 2019, respectivement à Ferrol et La Corogne. À cette occasion, il divise en deux le département de la Culture et de l'Éducation, confiant au conseiller  le portefeuille de la Culture et du Tourisme, et à l'universitaire  les fonctions de conseillère à l'Éducation ; et réattribue au département de l'Environnement  les compétences sur le logement.  remplace cette dernière comme conseiller au Monde rural, tandis que la directrice générale des Personnes âgées  est promue conseillère à la Politique sociale.

Succession
Le , Alberto Núñez Feijóo annonce  qu'il convoque les prochaines élections parlementaires de manière anticipée, choisissant la date du , qui correspond à celle retenue pour les élections au Parlement basque. Il décide le  suivant de suspendre la tenue du scrutin, en conséquence de la proclamation de l'état d'alerte dans le cadre de la pandémie de Covid-19. Après avoir de nouveau réuni son gouvernement sur ce sujet le , il fait savoir que le scrutin se tiendra le , assurant se plier aux recommandations sanitaires qui suggèrent l'organisation des élections pendant la période estivale.

Le scrutin marque la quatrième victoire de rang du président sortant, dont le Parti populaire répète au siège près son résultat électoral alors que le Bloc nationaliste galicien (BNG) devient la seconde force électorale et la première de l'opposition pour la première fois depuis . Investi pour un quatrième mandat le  avec 42 voix pour et 33 contre, Alberto Núñez Feijóo est assermenté deux jours plus tard, en présence de la ministre de la Politique territoriale Carolina Darias. Il constitue deux jours plus tard son quatrième exécutif, qui compte toujours onze membres, dont deux vice-présidents.

« 2014 Starts Off With The Midnight Company, Joe Hanrahan And "Solemn Mockeries"
St. Louis Theatre Circle Awards Nominees! »
"Opus" Delivers The Goods As We Peek Into Artistic Creation And Catastrophe At The Rep
The quartet rehearses in "Opus" at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Photo: Jerry Naunheim, Jr.
Collaborative artistic endeavors are always problematic but a different set of circumstances arise when a string quartet strives for perfection. Where the phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" holds true for most, in the case of making music together, beauty is in the "ear" of the beholder. Most differences of opinion encountered in "Opus" revolve around hearing discrepancies in tempo, phrasing, the inevitable "wrong" note or merely pacing. What normally would seem an odd choice for dramatic conflict, "Opus" (currently holding forth on the Mainstage at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis) proves the human dynamic will always provide tension and a fascinating story- even in the machinations of rehearsing a string quartet.
Chris Hietikko returns to the Rep stage as the lynch-pin, Carl- playing the cello while hiding a secret of his own. His steady work in the quartet and his love of music overshadowing all of the bickering seems to make him the one voice of reason in a sea of egos. Matthew Boston is great as the eventual "odd man out" in the quartet. He keeps the others at rehearsal long after they all agree that the "last take" was good enough. It's never good enough for Boston's Dorian- one of the reasons the lead violinist feels he should be let go and a replacement found. As first violin, Eliot, James Joseph O'Neil is perfectly persnickety as he finds fault with most everyone but himself. He seems to protest a bit too much when demanding everyone keep a curb on relationships within the group which also leads to acrimony.
James Joseph O'Neil as Eliot hands the rare Lazara viola to Rachael Jenison as Grace in the Rep's "Opus." Photo: Jerry Naunhem, Jr.
Greg Jackson is superb as the laid-back Alan. Although a true artist, he prefers to keep most opinions to himself and go with the flow. Add to the mix a female, Grace, played with a tough mix of reticence and defiance by Rachael Jenison. She auditions as a replacement for Dorian's viola part and wins over the other members but has a few other irons in the fire. Though hesitant, she eventually relents but disappoints the others as she keeps her audition date open to play with the Pittsburgh Symphony. The highlight for this Lazara Quartet is a gig at the White House where they plan to perform the difficult and longer than requested Opus 131 of Beethoven. Further complications arise when they become a hit at this concert but inner conflicts continue to drive them apart. A surprise return of Dorian leads to even more unexpected results that will change the group and the individuals forever.
Playwright Michael Hollinger is a viola player himself and draws, I'm sure, from personal performance and interaction to create the "quintet" we experience in "Opus." It's a marvelous look at the creative process and the inner workings of individual artistic temperament when put in the group dynamic of a string quartet. This is the second time this play has been produced in our area as West End Players Guild performed it last year. It's one of those plays that deserves a second (or even a third) look to catch the many subtleties and "overtures" in perfecting musical form in one of the top groups in the country.

Director Brendan Fox moves "Opus" along "accelerando" and really focuses on the relationship of the music and the quartet working in unison. Members of the St. Louis Symphony were on hand during rehearsals to instruct the actors in proper bowing and fingering techniques. While most mastered the bowing, most did not attempt to even move their fingers along the frets of their instruments let alone do it properly. A little matter, however, when the play has such an impact in all other aspects. The exciting set design of James Kronzer slyly replicates musical staffs and notes on the multiple doors that slide back and forth to represent different areas in the background as well as combining with Naftali Wayne in providing beautiful, broad projections during the scene changes. Patricia Collins' lights also enhance the smaller than usual playing area and Rusty Wandall has masterfully replicated the musical creations that the actors reproduce on stage.
"Opus" plays in one act which is good for the continuity of the material. It plays at the Rep Mainstage through February 2nd. Give them a call at 314-968-4925 for tickets or more information.

An expansive light exhibit by Bruce Munro at Longwood Gardens helped break attendance records this year.
No resting on its laurels for Longwood Gardens: After reaching a milestone of 1 million annual visitors in mid-August, it continued to achieve record attendance.
Gardens officials announced today that the fiscal year – from Oct. 1, 2011, to Sept. 30 – attracted 1,163,392 guests. "We are thrilled to reach this attendance milestone and are pleased that so many people from around the region and around the world want to experience the beauty of Longwood Gardens," said Director Paul B. Redman.
Officials attributed part of the increase to "Light: Installations by Bruce Munro," a dazzling exhibition that drew nearly 300,000. Those who missed the show, which is not scheduled to return, should ensure they attend whatever attraction takes center stage next summer.
In the meantime, the popular Chrysanthemum Festival opens Saturday. It runs through Nov. 18, and the holiday lights show will follow soon after.
Longwood Gardens began as a tree-saving initiative by industrialist Pierre du Pont, who purchased a small Kennett Square farm to save some historic specimens destined for the lumberyard. Years of indulging his passion for horticulture created the 1,077 acres of displays enjoyed by well over a million this year alone.
The gardens, located on U.S. 1 near Kennett Square, are open daily. For more information, visit www.longwoodgardens.org or call 610-388-1000.

*Pre-existing conditions are covered by CTAS so long as the condition has been stable for 12 months preceding arrival in Israel and so long as there has been no hospitalization for the condition in the six months preceding arrival in Israel. Additional exclusions include coverage for the treatment of cancer, AIDS, dialysis, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, and active psychiatric conditions.
The CTAS policy costs $40 and provides coverage in Israel during the 10-day trip! If you extend your trip in Israel, your insurance policy can be extended for $3.50/day. There is a $5 insurance add-on if you wish to include the supplemental cancellation insurance.
Birthright Israel requires all participants be covered by their own medical insurance that is valid in Israel. This insurance should include coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and medical emergencies while in Israel. On top of that, it's a good idea to make sure you're also covered for those travel headaches that you think could never happen to you! We're talking about things like lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and delayed or canceled domestic flights. Don't let it ruin your trip!
Maybe. That can vary from one plan to another. Many plans do not include coverage outside of the USA. Even if your provider tells you that you'll be covered in Israel, be very careful…many plans are extremely limited in terms of the international coverage they provide. They certainly won't cover you for lost or stolen property and delayed flight, which CTAS does.
CTAS insurance is only $40 for the entire Birthright Israel trip. That includes both medical and travel insurance. If you're extending your trip in Israel, you can extend the insurance, for only $3.50 per day.
I plan to travel to Europe after my Birthright Israel trip ends. Will I be covered?
Yes, but you should make sure that CTAS is aware of your plans. You can include this information in the Comments section of the online form.

Sedona is one of those places that feels special just by virtue of standing there. Maybe it has to do with all the Vortexes or the collective consciousness there, because every single local I spoke to had a story and every one of them felt reverence for the place. Maybe it's geography (stunning), maybe it really is aliens (I kid, but you hear stories). Whatever it is, Sedona is magical and has it going on in terms of good energy and raw beauty. And if you go, I've got a wonderful hotel for you: L'Auberge de Sedona.
L'Auberge is centrally located right on the creek, and set against a backdrop of red rocks and trees. It's gorgeous. The minute you drive through the entrance, you feel the tranquility.
The lobby is rustic cowboy chic. It's inviting, with comfortable seating, board games and kaleidoscopes on the tables.
It's a great place to mingle with other guests, and it's also connected to the bar and restaurant. In the mornings, the bar is set up as a complimentary coffee bar with coffee, tea, and pastries.
And right outside the doors are huge decks, creekside dining, and pathways to the creek. You hear the water flowing, and it is very soothing.
Rooms are actually little cabins. They are about 600 square feet, but feel much bigger because of the smart floor plan, great design, and all the outdoor living space. I could easily live in one, and I was so inspired by these cabins that when I got home I actually called a contractor to see what would be involved in building one.
The layout is wonderful. A comfy bed with luxe bedding and dim-able lighting faces a gas fireplace and tv. There is a little bar/coffee area and storage space for your belongings.
There is plenty of open space, so it feels breezy and comfortable.
My favorite thing was the outdoor shower (and this was the impetus for the phone call to the contractor). I took about three showers every day while I was there because it was so amazing to be able to look up at blue sky during the day and stars at night.
The whole bathroom is huge and gorgeous. It was like having your own little mini spa.
Fresh flowers on the vanity, luxurious bath linens, and green foliage right outside the windows are irresistible.
L'Auberge is dog friendly. Sedona in general is extremely dog friendly and we saw tons of pups wherever we went. If you have canine family members, I'd encourage bringing them along. The grounds are ideal for walking your pooch, and it's just so much more fun to have your dog with you when you travel.
The grounds at L'Auberge are spectacular. It's family friendly, and we saw children, but there is such a calming vibe there that makes you feel so relaxed that all the guests we encountered, kids included, seemed to be on the same soothing page.
It kind of feels like a retreat, but it's not self conscious or stuffy. I think the energy and bubbling sound coming from the creek just puts everyone at ease.
All along the creek, there is seating so that you can hang out comfortably as much as you like. On the deck area, you'll find seating around fire-pit tables. It's the perfect place for a meaningful celebration, we saw a wedding party enjoying themselves while we were there.
It's absolutely restorative at L'Auberge. There's no pressure to be quiet though–people are laughing and enjoying themselves, the place is just infused with a deep sense of peace that makes you walk away feeling energized and revitalized.
There is a pool, but it was too chilly to use while we were there (you can see a photo in the gallery below).
L'Auberge does offer creekside dining, and that is what we planned to do, but it was raining so we ended up having dinner inside. We really wanted to experience creekside dining (a reason to return), but I have to say, the dining room is gorgeous and we loved that atmosphere too.
The floors are gray wood, and the color scheme is crisp white and neutrals. It's modern and like the rest of the place, tranquil. Huge windows offer views of the creek and trees.
The menu is a three-four course culinary adventure. We enjoyed three courses and it was more than enough.
We started with delicious Prickly Pear Margaritas (obviously my son's was a mocktail). Have you ever had a prickly pear margarita? These were the best I've ever tasted. And look how beautiful they are.
Next was a crisp refreshing salad. The Citrus dressing was light and flavorful while the combination of peas, carrots and goat cheese was delicate and texturally pleasing.
The main entree was a buttery, creamy Butternut Squash and Maitake Mushroom Tortellini Pasta. Candied pecans added some crunch while the pasta melted in my mouth. Portions were generous and way more than we could eat.
Dessert looked like artwork. We got the Chocolate Bomb and Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. I love to see flowers in my food–isn't that pretty? Like a Jackson Pollack on a plate.
You see vanilla ice cream there too, because no dessert is complete for my son without it. After dinner, we walked around the property for a while, then went back to the room to enjoy a cozy fire and of course I had to have another outdoor shower under the stars.
If you are a fan of essential oils like I am, you will appreciate how L'Auberge has showcased them as the art form they are. You can purchase interesting blends and also mix your own.
I had a creekside massage which took place just a few feet from the water.
During the massage, while I was chatting with my friendly therapist, I saw an otter. An otter! And it was a big one. I get really excited when I see wildlife, but there is something extra special about otters. I did not realize otters live in Sedona, but she saw it too, so it was definitely there and not some sort of relaxation hallucination.
If you go to Sedona, you have to check out this property. Even if it's just for a meal. I can't say enough good things about it and wouldn't dream of visiting Sedona without staying here again.
The location is ideal for those who like to walk. We did not rent a car (Arizona Shuttle was awesome from PHX) and we were able to walk everywhere. L'Auberge also has a complimentary shuttle which is super handy. If you decide to go car free, I recommend a Pink Jeep Tour. You'll get to see the beautiful red rocks, expansive vistas and famous vortexes. Read my full review HERE.
And something of note for those of you who travel with dogs–there is another well known luxury hotel in Sedona that I'd love to try but they Do Not accept dogs. So if you are traveling with canine family members, this is your place. You can find out more on the L'Auberge de Sedona website HERE.
We were guests of L'Auberge, opinions are my own.

I, with three others, have just got back from a trip to a place called Talne in Ukraine. Our church has a link to another church there and this was an opportunity to meet up with people, to share together, to engage in various ministry activities and to get to know something of the country.
We spent time with many wonderful people, laughed together a lot and developed new and stronger friendships. But we also became aware of the real impact that the conflict and tensions in Eastern Ukraine are having on people's everyday lives. These are things which I rarely see reported but which really struck us deeply.
We spent time with a minister and his wife who come from a church in Eastern Ukraine and they spoke about the opportunities they had to provide support and encouragement to soldiers who had been injured in the fighting – and the way in which these soldiers sometimes just needed someone to talk to so they could explain what they had seen and what they had experienced.
We were at the home of the pastor of the Talne church one morning and the electricity was cut off – apparently this is a regular part of conserving energy for the war effort.
We visited a massive granite quarry which is a major source of income and employment to people in Talne, and we were surprised to see that it was shutdown and nothing was happening. We were told that their major customer was Russia and they were no longer able to send stone there and so people had been laid off and production had stopped.
We visited a school and spoke with the teachers who told us about their sons and husbands who had gone off to fight – and the collections which were being taken to ensure that they would have what they needed. There was a sense of solidarity in the sadness.
There was a growing sense of patriotism with bridges being painted in the Ukrainian colours of blue and yellow and more people wearing traditional Ukrainian costume.
We went to a family's home for a meal and met a lady who, with her husband, had had to flee from Eastern Ukraine as it was no longer safe for them to be there. The couple whose house we were in had contacted the local council to say that they had a room for refugees if needed and they had been taken up on their offer. We were really struck with this act of openness and generosity towards someone they had never met. A great demonstration of Jesus' challenge in Matthew 25:35-36.
We stayed in the temporary home of a couple who are in the process of building their own home. However, building work has stopped due to lack of funds as the business the husband works in sells to people in Eastern Ukraine and they are no longer able to purchase as much.
And the moment which really brought it home to me was when we were visiting an old people's home where a retired teacher spoke to me for about five minutes in passionate Ukrainian (which was thankfully translated). She was speaking emotionally and powerfully about what was happening to her country and the impact it was having on everyone and asking what we, in Europe, were going to do about it to force Russia to step back from its engagement and to allow the Ukrainian people to sort things out for themselves. There was a limited amount that I could say about what the United Kingdom was doing but she seemed to have a deeper sense of peace after we had spoken – maybe it was just that someone was prepared to listen. But I felt challenged to do something further and so to follow up on that I have just written to my local MP outlining what we saw in Ukraine and asking him to continue to encourage our government to do all that it can to help bring peace to Ukraine.
Please do pray for the people of Ukraine, that the conflict and killing will stop, that peace will be restored, that tensions will disappear, that people would be able to go about their normal lives and that Christians in that country will continue to be able to live as salt and light and be a blessing to those they meet.

Popular Music Chapters
4-Chord Schemas
This section introduces students to the important harmonic, rhythmic, and formal schemas that pervade English-language pop music after 1950. Most of the examples are drawn from Top 40 pop, but many other genres such as hip hop and indie are also represented.
This section assumes a familiarity with the topics covered in Fundamentals.
This section begins with Rhythm and Meter, one of the musical domains that defines pop music as a genre most clearly.
The next few chapters discuss form in pop music, from a small scale (Melody and Phrasing) to a larger scale (Introduction to Form in Popular Music, AABA Form and Strophic Form, Verse-Chorus Form). These chapters are best taught sequentially.
The next several chapters take a schematic approach to understanding harmonies in popular music, beginning with an Introduction to Harmonic Schemas in Pop Music. Instructors can cover as many or as few of these schemas as they like.
The final chapter zooms out and provides a broader view of tonality in popular music through the phenomena of Fragile, Absent, and Emergent Tonics.

While spring ushers in the green leaves and warmer weather, for some people it means a months-long stretch of annoying symptoms. About 20 to 30 per cent of Canadians suffer from some kind of seasonal allergy. "Springtime is easily the worst season when it comes to allergies. Which pollens are prevalent differs from province to province but the first seasonal allergy to pop up is tree pollen which could start as early as March," allergist Dr. David Fischer told Global News.
What are the most common allergies in the spring? Because temperatures vary across the country, allergy season will start at different times depending on how each province is faring. Across the board, tree pollen allergies start first, according to Fischer. It could start in late March and move into June for Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, while B.C. has the "worst" tree pollen season kicking off as early as February and into June, he said.
"This will vary depending on where you live, moisture levels and temperature – these all determine how much pollen you're getting," Waserman said. Moulds grow quickly in heat and high humidity. Believe it or not, it's not just what you think of in attics or basements – mould spores crop up on your lawn outside after snow melts and the leftover grass from when you mowed last autumn resurfaces. "When people think of mould, they think of the black stuff on walls, but mould spore counts are incredibly high outside too," Fischer said.
Why do I have allergies? Pollen, from trees, grass or weeds, is released into the air to fertilize other plants. But sometimes they get into your nose and nasal passage. If you're allergic, your immune system kicks in thinking the pollen is a hazard to your body. This is why your body sends out histamines into your blood – that's when your nose starts running and your eyes get watery as your body tries to expel what it thinks is a danger. "It's a misfiring of your immune system by turning something innocuous into something it wants to fight off drastically," Waserman said. It's genetic, too. If one or both of your parents has an allergy, you'll probably end up with similar symptoms too.
Symptoms can start as early as childhood, in teenage years or even as an adult. If you're not sure, simply get referred to an allergist for testing. You will be screened for common allergens, such as various types of pollens, cat and dog fur, dust mites, mould spores and more. How can we tell if we're in for a bad season? An early and hot spring is a bad sign for allergy sufferers, the experts warned. "Last year's grass season was probably the worst I can remember. The pollen conditions were bad – it was a very hot and humid summer combined with wind. That's the worst scenario for pollen sufferers," Fischer said.
How can I ease the symptoms? There are a handful of ways you can safeguard yourself to avoid a nasty few months of allergies. Over-the-counter-meds: Antihistamines help to tame symptoms, but make sure you're seeking out options like Reactine, Aerius, or Allegra, Fischer said. Try to avoid Benadryl or other medications that come with side effects, such as drowsiness. Prescription medications: If needed, your doctor or allergist can prescribe eye drops, nasal sprays or other medicines to help alleviate symptoms. Allergy shots: Those with severe allergies receive multiple injections – sometimes weekly – to tame their allergies.
If you're going swimming over the summer in a river or pond, wear goggles and nose clips to keep any allergens out of the way. Once you're out of the water, rinse off. When you're in the car, keep your windows rolled up and the air condition running, Waserman said. Try to keep your windows closed when you're at home, too. But don't shutter yourself in during the warm months, Waserman said. "Some people may choose not to go outdoors when [pollen] counts are high, but it's hard to watch the weather channel and live life like that," Waserman said. "Pollen allergies are a fact of life in this part of the world. We have good things out there now to help you stay prepared," she said.

The Polka King (film, 2017). An American biographical comedy film by Netflix. Directed by Maya Forbes. Official Trailer.
The Polka King is an American biographical comedy film directed by Maya Forbes.
The Polka King | Official Trailer | Netflix.
The film opens at a performance of Jan Lewan's (Black) polka band in Pennsylvania. Near the close of the show, he brings his wife Marla (Slate) onstage. A former beauty queen, Marla is modeling some jewelry that Lewan sells at his souvenir store. After the concert, Jan recounts to a happy concertgoer how he and Marla met, and how he has worked every terrible job imaginable, from dishwasher to janitor, in order to achieve the American dream. The clarinetist in his band, Mickey (Schwartzman), visits Jan at his gift shop in order to quit the band. Jan takes him to a pizza restaurant nearby, and urges him to stay, promising him more money. Mickey feels that Jan has enlarged the band to an unsustainable size, and he reveals that other members are thinking of quitting, especially after a rumor that Jan had hired a dancing bear to accompany the shows. Jan admits that the bear is now part of their act, but he insists that better times are ahead. He then picks up a pizza, and heads out to deliver it. An elderly couple visits Jan and asks about investing in his band. He explains that they are guaranteed a 12% annual return on their investment. The state Securities and Exchange Commission office gets wind of the fact that Jan is taking on investors and sends investigator Ron Edwards (Smoove) to meet with him. Edwards informs Jan that he has not registered properly, making it illegal for him to accept investments. He gives Jan three days to return his investors' money and close down the operation.
Principal photography began in mid-July 2016 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and later it also took place in Woonsocket and Cranston.
The film The Polka King was scheduled to be released by Netflix on January 22, 2017 (Sundance) and on January 12, 2018 (Worldwide).
The Polka King got high rating from critics. The audience also likes the film.
