So a while ago I told you all that I wasn't touching my hair at all and the aim was to let it grow and be healthy... and you know what? I actually did what I said!
After the not so great bleaching experience in February, I got a cheap box of dark brown hair dye and in March went back to the dark-side. It took a while to get used to my hair close to its natural colour as I'd been bleaching it for quite a few years at that point. The colour faded after a few weeks and I think I coloured it one more time after that and then decided to just let the colour do what it wanted.
So my colour was natural and my hair was finally growing, probably because the ends had stopped snapping off, but what really changed the game were braids and cornrows! I had my hair braided in the summer and then again to go on holiday over Christmas and after that I've had a few cornrow styles. Each time I took my braided style out I could visibly see how much my hair had grown! So I decided to get a nice shape up at Unruly Curls and to keep this hair growth party going!
This is me the week after the trim at London Fashion Week! This season I didn't go as The Stylum, I went as Charlotte Williams, Founder of SevenSix Agency and I was able to take some influencers to a few shows. Times are changing and I am loving it!
For the last few weeks I've been working with a new skincare brand in town called Africology. They are a 100% natural, non-toxic South African skincare and lifestyle brand founded by experienced metaphysical and reiki counsellor, Renchia Droganis. I had the pleasure of meeting Renchia earlier this month to film some content for their Instagram channel and was so taken-a-back at her incredible energy and her knowledge.
So far I've only tried a couple of the serums and a their candles but after spending time in their Covent Garden store going through all the products, I am so excited to try more! All the products are natural with really interesting African ingredients and most products are multi-purpose!
Watch this space for more posts about this brand. Also, head to their Covent Garden store to learn more about the products and their ingredients. All the staff know what they're doing and you can get a complimentary hand massage with some of their aromatherapy products.
We stayed in Lake Koggala in a villa called Sea Heart House, named after the heart-shaped seeds you can find scattered around the garden. There were eight of us staying and Sea Heart had the perfect amount of rooms and The villa was built on Lake Koggala and has the most amazing views from every window. This particular house comes with a live-in chef called Ranga who makes the most incredible Sri Lankan fusion food for you. We ate so well that week, I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Our trip was about pure relaxation, I feel like everyone one of us had burnt out before Christmas and really needed this time to chill and prepare for the new year. We spent a lot of the time in the villa reading, playing games and swimming. We were also so fortunate to have yoga classes with Emilio's mum (best yoga teacher I've ever practised with) on the pavilion. My favourite activity was surfing, we headed to Weligama Beach and had a surf lesson. After that lesson, we felt comfortable to go at it alone and just rent surfboards to use in the less choppy waves.
We also spent a day whale watching with Raja and the Whales. This is a family run business and after doing some research, seemed to be the most environmentally and whale friendly whale watching company in the area. We ended up seeing a Blue Whale, Sperm Whale, Bryde Wale, some dolphins and some green turtles mating in the middle of the sea. It was a long day but also so interesting! As you can imagine, we had to be up at the crack of dawn but they provided a lovely breakfast and lunch, as well as an afternoon snack. I would definitely recommend.
We did the local Tea Plantation Tour which was really good and to my surprise, free! You do a walking tour of the plantation and also get given tea and cake. I really enjoyed this, the cake definitely helped!
On Christmas day we organised a boat ride on the lake which took us to Cinnamon Island. I didn't know that 90% of the world's cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka, the island gives a tour explaining how cinnamon grows and how it's turned into sticks. You get a lovely cup of cinnamon tea and there's also an opportunity to have a full cinnamon meal!
Lastly, we had the opportunity to swim with massive sea turtles at Dalawella Beach. If you get to the beach after 2pm they are just there swimming around. It was so exciting and they are truly beautiful, we rented some snorkels from a man on the beach and dived straight in.
Most nights we ate at the villa as the food was incredible, but we did head out for a few meals. My favourite was at the neighbouring hotel, Trilanka. We had the six-course dinner menu which changes nightly, all the ingredients are local to Koggala be it from the lake or from Tri's garden. I couldn't recommend Tri more highly, the food was absolutely delicious, local and traditional but with a modern twist. I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate desserts but the chocolate dessert was one of the best sweets I've ever had.
Emilio and I stayed for a shorter period than the rest of the family so weren't able to travel which in hindsight was such a mistake. We had a fantastic time in Lake Koggala but I would definitely recommend booking no less than ten days in Sri Lanka and travelling around the country as much as you can!
A few weeks ago I was invited out by Pandora for, at the time, my first Christmas themed event of the year. Pandora and Christmas have such a strong association for me as it is the go to store for presents for many of the women in my family, especially my mum and sister, so I was naturally very excited to attend the event.
It was a Thursday evening and myself and a room full of fashion and lifestyle influencers were invited to The Ivy Market Grill in Covent Garden to eat a delicious selection of canapés and make ginger bread houses, something I hadn't done since childhood. The event was lovely, beautifully decorated and well thought out, even the workshop leader was fantastic. None of this is surprising though considering who had invited us. What I was actually really surprised at was my gingerbread house making skills, who knew I was so creative!
Pandora had invited us all down to not only get us in the Christmas spirit, but to celebrate the launch of their new jewellery gifts, which we were given a sneak peek at. At the time of the event I hadn't thought about Christmas present shopping AT ALL but now it's getting so closer to December, I'm feeling truly inspired. I also really want to do another gingerbread house making session... I might host a little workshop in my flat before Christmas because it was so much fun.
Thank you to Pandora and Mindshare for such a lovely time!
What activities have you been up to in the lead up to Christmas?
As you know from previous posts, I'm a big fan of Molton Brown products. They always release cute coloured and gorgeous scented products that look so nice in my bathroom and their newest launch is no different. The Jasmine and Sun Rose collection is a gorgeous peach colour with top notes of raspberry, bergamot and peach. I cannot express how much I LOVE bergamot and peach together, it's literally one of my favourite smells in the world, so using this body wash and moisturiser combo has been an absolute treat over the last few weeks. They've also launched a perfume that I need to get my hands on because this smell is absolutely divine. I've used many of the different Molton Brown collections but this is most definitely my favourite to date.
Autumn is my favourite season but can also be quite a turbulent one for me. I'm a spring baby so I probably have an affinity to the transitional seasons but there's just something about autumn that hits me right in the gut. I've been trying to figure out what it is and looking back my autumns have been busy for as long as I can remember.
As a teenager I used to go to Canada to visit my aunt in the autumn before school started and I would buy a whole new A/W wardrobe. Autumn is when I would leave London and head back to Nottingham for University. It's also when I officially moved to Portugal and then two years later made the decision to move back to London. Autumn is when I got my puppy. Autumn is when I had my first life changing breakup. Lastly, I moved into my flat in Autumn (two years ago next month).
A lot of life changing experiences have happened during the Autumn months for me and I always feel like I should be travelling, moving or changing something around September/ October time. This year is no different for me and I've had really itchy feet for about a month now.
A few months ago I left my job to go freelance, it was a huge uncharacteristic jump for me but something I am yet to regret. At first I was just trying out freelance life but I've taken on so many amazing clients already that I have decided to build a business. By the end of the year I'm aiming to have a website, logo and super-professional business plan ready to go.
I find it really difficult to work in unorganised spaces. I get easily distracted and working from home can lead to hours of unplanned tidying and organisation sessions. My boyfriend and I moved into our flat two years ago this November and we focused heavily on decorating our living room and kitchen which are rooms that guests would see. We currently use the spare room as an office/ my blogger mail room and our bedroom tends to become a dumping ground for clothes. Nobody goes into these rooms except for us but they are probably the most important rooms in the flat. We spend 6-8 hours in the bedroom asleep and then I spend another 5-6 hours in the office working. These rooms most definitely need some TLC and at the end of the month I plan to start the transition, starting with a brand new bed.
I'm trying to make my life super-efficient and stress free. The idea of working for myself means I can keep my own hours and work when and as much or little as I want. I spend a lot of time working at home and then heading to events in the evening, so going from tracksuit/ pyjama bottoms to glam in no time at all. I think looking slobbish constantly has had it's affect on my personal style as I haven't been able to dress myself with confidence for months. I want to put together a thirty-five piece capsule wardrobe by the end of this month that I live by until after Christmas.
We're basically half way through Autumn now so I don't have long to get myself together, but I'm excited to try!
Topshop dress now on sale!
I have been going to the same eyebrow lady (with a couple of changes here and there in case of emergency) for over two years now and I think she forgot who I was in our last appointment when she decided to give my whole face a little change by removing my arch and completely restyling my brows. As if I don't frown enough, this switch up automatically made my face look moodier than it already does and I could do nothing about it. So a few months ago I headed to Blink Brow Bar for the first time to get my eyebrows tinted and threaded in hope of solving my problems. I was told there was no quick fix (I knew this but a girl's gotta ask for one right?!) so they had to be rescued over a few appointments. Last week I went back for my second appointment and things are looking great already. The above pics show my eyebrows in their current state, freshly shaped and tinted with the tiniest stroke of brow pencil at the end of each brow. There are still some gaps to fill but I think by Christmas we'll be looking good and I can go into the new year starting as I mean to go on.
My first appointment was complimentary, thank you Blink Brow Bar, whereas last week's appointment I paid for myself. Blink is a lot more expensive than what I'm used to, at £21 for a tidy up and £36 for a shape and tint, but in the long run it's so worth it as you know you're going to leave with a smile. Not only are the brow technicians fantastic, but you get a complimentary neck and head massage at the end of your treatment which is an absolute winner for me.
My first appointment was at the Blink Brow Bar in Selfridges and my second was at the Topshop Oxford Circus location. Both experiences were pretty much identical and I would highly recommend both. I now have the task of growing my brows before my next appointment and was recommended to use the Blink Brow Bar Nourishing Brow Oil, I'll let you know how I get on!

You may have earned Bitcoins without having done anything. How? Simple, if you have Bitcoins in a cold wallet (or, in any case, in a portfolio whose private keys you control and therefore not a wallet in professional Exchange) and you haven't moved them since before last summer, each of these Bitcoins could be worth more than it seems (circa 900 USD on today's date). Many wonder how it's possible… in fact it's the secondary effect of the Bitcoin bifurcation, better known as Bitcoin forks. But, exactly what the Bitcoin forks are, and how it is possible to obtain "free" money from them is possible to better understand also thanks to a the support of a site: www.cryptodom.org.
For those who are less informed, the forks are bifurcations of the blockchain which, in creating new coins, a sort of "dividends" originates for the owners of coins from the original blockchain. There are various methods to obtain them: some simple, through apps like Coinomi and Bither, others decidedly more complicated that require turning scripts in python and to understand perfectly what is being one, under threat of losing the fork's coins. Since the phenomenon is in continuous evolution, we advise you to take advantage of an expert's advice. In any case, to be sure, be sure to always move your money to another address before undertaking any attempt to obtain the new coins deriving from the fork. In addition, it's possible to securely calculate how many coins you'll get. So, if you have any BTC parked on an address whose private keys you possess, the advice is undoubtedly that of trying to obtain the new coins deriving from the fork. For Bitcoin, the first real and important fork came about at the end of July 2017 with the birth of Bitcoin Cash, followed afterwards by other important forks (Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Private, etc…).

Michael Jibson (born 16 December 1980) is an English actor, director, writer and voice over artist.

Jibson started his career in the theatre. He has been nominated for an Olivier Award twice, once when he was only 22 in 2003, for his work on the West End musical Our House, and again in 2018, when he won the award for his role of King George III in the original London production of the smash hit Broadway Musical
Hamilton.

He is known for being a versatile actor, with a theatrical career that jumps between Musical Theatre, modern and classical theatre, taking lead roles musicals in the West End and leading roles at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Donmar Warehouse, Shakespeares Globe and the Almeida Theatre.

His many film roles include roles in blockbusters such as Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Beauty and the Beast, and Les Misérables, but also more intimate drama such as the independent film The Lighthouse, which is a psychological thriller based on a real event in 1801 which became known as the Smalls Lighthouse incident. Jibson wrote, produced, and starred in the film, which won a Welsh BAFTA.

His work in television is equally varied, with numerous television roles such as Four Lives, based on the true story Stephen Port murders, James Graham's Quiz, about the 2001 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire scandal and No Return, in which he stars in the role of a father whose son is accused of sexual assault on holiday in Turkey.

He is a patron of the National Youth Music Theatre and, remaining close to the area where he grew up and his roots he is also the patron of the Hessle Theatre Company, the place where he first took to the stage in 1994.

Jibson founded the Hull and East Yorkshire Arts and Culture Trust (HEYACT) to support and foster the arts in Hull and East Yorkshire, encouraging production companies to utilise the region for projects in order to create jobs and confidence and in particular to provide opportunities and encourage young people of all backgrounds into the arts and culture sector.

The Lighthouse is the story of two Lighthouse keepers, Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith who were stranded on The Smalls Islands, a small cluster of rocks approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. Jibson also starred as Thomas Howell opposite Welsh actor Mark Lewis Jones. The feature film was written and then selected by the Welsh Ffilm Cymru emerging talent scheme Cinematic and awarded a budget of £300,000 in conjunction with the British Film Institute (BFI), BBC Films, S4C and Soda Pictures. The film received a cinematic release in Wales and was released on DVD and VOD in 2016 in the UK, receiving positive reviews. " The Lighthouse is a welcome beacon of quality in a genre often happy to rely on cheap tricks and easy scares and offers so much more, amply rewarding those who are willing to embrace its blunt and brittle world" – Starburst. It was nominated for five Welsh BAFTAS (including best film), winning one for VFX.

Television work
Jibson's television work includes Phamer McCoy in the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards winning 2012 US miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, BBC Four film Burton & Taylor, alongside Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West; The Thirteenth Tale starring Vanessa Redgrave and Olivia Colman – both for the BBC, Tubby and Enid, directed by Victoria Wood for the BBC, Father Brown BBC and Galavant for ABC.

In 2015 Jibson received rave reviews for portraying the English military officer Myles Standish in Saints & Strangers, a US TV movie for the National Geographic Channel and Sony Pictures. The Hollywood Reporter reviewer wrote: "The mini's MVP, however, is Michael Jibson as the Pilgrims' iconic military adviser, Myles Standish. His commanding performance strikes just the right balance between the mythical and the credible, as if he somehow instilled an animatronic Disneyland automaton with a stirringly virile essence". Saints & Strangers chronicled the real story of the Pilgrims, including their harrowing voyage from England to America aboard the Mayflower and settling in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was directed by Paul A. Edwards.

In 2020 Michael played Tecwen Whittock in James Graham's   Quiz, directed by Stephen Frears.

In 2021 Michael portrayed the infamous Rudolf II in the second season of Sky One's television drama A Discovery of Witches, which is based upon Deborah Harkness' book series of the same name.

Michael played DS Stuart Reeves in the 2020 miniseries Honour which was based on the real life murder of Banaz Mahmod.

After that 2021 saw him portray Cary Hemings in Season 2 of Sky One's political thriller Cobra.

in 2022 Michael played DC Paul Slaymaker in Four Lives for the BBC. It received positive reviews and Hugo Rifkind in The Times wrote, "All of the cast were strong, but Michael Jibson deserves particular credit as a hopelessly obstructive family liaison officer. The human embodiment of computer says 'no'."''

In 2022 Michael played Matthew Evansford in the Apple TV+ mini series The Essex Serpent, starring Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston, which was directed by Clio Barnard.

Personal life
Jibson is married to actress Caroline Sheen.  The couple have one daughter, Flora, born in 2012.

If you've found your dream home, only to discover that other buyers have their eyes on it, don't worry. There are steps you can take to make your offer stand out against the others.
Today, I'm here to talk to you about four ways you can make your offer on a home stand out.
When you're putting in an offer for your dream property, it can be disheartening to learn that there are actually competing offers from other buyers on the table. There are, however, ways to make your offer stand out in a bidding war.
Sellers will often receive multiple offers on their home, and time will not be on your side. Do not sleep on it.
Act fast. If buyer demand outpaces supply, as is often the case, it will result in low inventory. This means that sellers will often receive multiple offers on their home, and time will not be on your side. Do not sleep on it.
Don't nitpick. Another way to make your offer stand out from among the others is to avoid nitpicking; you can do this by waiving certain contingencies, or by being lenient in your inspection. There are always things you can fix yourself once you're in the home.
Be prepared to negotiate. A seller will many times present a counteroffer to your original offer, and certainly if there aren't multiple offers. Counteroffers usually revolve around price and closing time. Make sure you give a serious bid, and that you are pre-approved for the amount. With regard to closing dates, sellers usually have an ideal timeframe in mind. Once again, being less picky here may give you an advantage if there are other buyers.
As always, we are here for you and anything that you may need. We're grateful to be your community resource, ready to serve you, your friends, family, relatives, and neighbors. Please feel free to reach out us at any time.


Can my school district ask about my citizenship or immigration status for proof that I live in the school district?
YES. You have the right to refuse to provide your social security number. Your school district may request it, but it must tell you that providing the number is voluntary and explain its reason for asking. Your school may NOT stop you from enrolling because you do not provide a social security number.
Could immigration enforcement authorities get my student records from my school?
If the United States Department of Justice or Department of Education asks for my student records, is my school required to provide those records?
Your school must comply with an order it receives from a judge to turnover student records. It must also comply with an administrative subpoena it receives from immigration authorities. Immigration law enforcement authorities do not usually request such subpoenas, but it is important to be cautious about what information you share in case things change.
NO. Unfortunately, as an undocumented student you cannot receive federal financial aid. However, here in California a law called AB 540 allows you to apply for in-state tuition at California colleges. Learn more about AB 540.
This is the federal government's memo explaining the end of the DACA program. The memo also identifies which types of DACA applications are eligible for processing as of September 5 and which types of applications will be accepted between September 5 and October 5, 2017.
This advisory provides information to DACA recipients or applications on work permits, how social security numbers can be used after work permits expire, and on traveling with advance parole in light of the government's September 5th announcement.

Advocacy & Action
The Case For A Media Freedom Act
By Peter Greste	February 5, 2019 February 25th, 2019 2 Comments
This is the op-ed by Prof. Peter Greste published in The Australian this morning, to start our campaign for a Media Freedom Act.
One of the central tenets of a successful liberal democracy is press freedom. As voters, we employ our elected officials to run the government on our behalf, and as with all bosses, we have a right to know what they get up to. In any democratic system worth the title, that happens through good, sceptical, independent and at times aggressive journalism.
That kind of reporting is inherently wary of crafted news releases and staged media events. It is the kind of journalism that digs into the inner workings of government, cultivating sources and relationships beyond the press officers who act as gate-keepers and spin-doctors. It is the kind of journalism that uses deep sources to expose mismanagement, hypocrisy and outright corruption.
It is not always pretty or especially edifying, but it has helped to "keep the bastards honest" (to paraphrase the late Don Chip), oil public debate, and make Australia one of the most stable, prosperous and peaceable nations on the planet. It makes sense to protect and defend it.
Yet surprisingly, Australia has no explicit constitutional or legal protection for media freedom.
Although the High Court ruled that there is an implied freedom of political communication inherent in our system of representative democracy, press freedom is by no means hard-wired into our laws in the way that the Bill of Rights does it in the United States. The First Amendment to the US Constitution unequivocally says, "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press …"
In a landmark case from 1997, Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Court said, "(u)nlike the First Amendment to the US, which has been interpreted to confer private rights, our Constitution contains no express right of freedom of communication or expression. Within our legal system, communications are free only to the extent that they are left unburdened by laws that comply with the Constitution."
In 2008, Channel Nine's political editor Laurie Oakes exposed Cabinet documents that showed four economic departments had warned the Government its FuelWatch program could increase petrol prices.
In 2016, a string of leaks revealed that the NBN was blowing the budget and had fallen way behind schedule – facts that were hugely embarrassing to the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
And in 2016/17, a series of leaks exposed the way Centrelink's automated debt recovery system was making crippling demands of some of the poorest people in the country. It prompted Centrelink to warn its staff that any unauthorised communication with the media violated the Crimes Act.
In each of those cases, both the leakers and the reporters risked breaking laws that restricted disclosure of government information and protected national security. Indeed, the security services were called in to track down the sources. Yet in each of them, there was a clear public interest in exposing what was happening, and in the end, after the public rows settled, both the government and the public were arguably better off.
When he retired, Oakes said, "The importance of what I do is enabling democracy … so people know what politicians are doing, so they know what they are voting for, why they are voting…"
Until the early 2000s, Australia broadly managed to strike a working balance between media freedom and government authority, but two key forces have helped tip the scale away from the public's right to know, and in favour of the government's natural tendency to secrecy.
The first is the way the digital revolution has damaged news business models, significantly weakening the ability of news organizations to pay for the kind of investigative journalism that holds governments to account. The second is the political pressure to enact ever tighter national security legislation in the ongoing War on Terror. Since 2001, Australia has passed 54 separate pieces of anti-terror legislation – arguably more than any other country on earth.
Together, those forces have given governments a license to chip away at the space that journalists have traditionally been able to operate in, and in the process reduced transparency and accountability.
This is not to suggest that national security laws need to be repealed. Far from it. But without the restraint that the First Amendment places on US legislators, Australia's politicians have had much more scope to pass legislation that harms the public's capacity to know, and therefore ultimately our democracy.
In just a few examples from the past few years, we have seen Section 35P of the ASIO Act which gives the minister the power to keep any security operation secret forever. There is the Data Retention Act which makes it almost impossible for journalists to protect government sources; the Foreign Fighters Act which potentially criminalizes stories covering militant extremists, and most recently, the Foreign Interference and Espionage Act that significantly broadens the scope of information defined as "classified". All in some way intrude on media freedom.
That is why my organization, the Alliance for Journalists Freedom, is launching a campaign for a Media Freedom Act. The Act would act as a yard-stick to measure all our laws against, to protect the watchdog role that journalists play.
It isn't intended to stop or repeal critical national security legislation; clearly, we need to update our laws to cope with a dangerous world. But the Act would compel our law makers to strike a better balance between those two essential functions, making us all both safer and better informed.
If the most vital role a government can play is defending our democracy, surely enshrining media freedom in law is essential.

A new report produced by Cumbria Tourism and Copeland Borough Council shows visitors flocked to Copeland in 2017, a 4.6 per cent increase on 2016.
Figures show £175.9 million was generated within the local economy through visitor and tourism business expenditure.
Out of this; 25 per cent was spent by tourism businesses within the local supply chain, 24 per cent was food and drink, 19 per cent was shopping, 15 per cent was transport, 13 per cent was accommodation and 5 per cent was recreation.
Day visits to Copeland generated £103 million and more than £22 million was spent on local accommodation in 2017.
The expenditure and activity of visitors to Copeland supported a total of 2,320 full-time equivalent jobs.
"The borough has much to offer its residents and visitors, from to the rolling hills of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, to the deepest lake in England – Wastwater.
"With two-thirds of Copeland nestled in England's largest National Park, we attracts visitors from all over the world who flock to our area of scenic beauty.
"The Lake District was awarded world heritage status in 2017, one of only 33 sites around the world, joining the likes of the Grand Canyon, Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu.
"It's not just the scenery that attracts visitors to our borough, with facilities like one of England's oldest and narrowest gauge railways, The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway. Historic Muncaster Castle also has many family attractions including a Hawk & Owl Centre, extensive Himalayan gardens and special events.
"The Beacon Museum, Whitehaven, also celebrates the area's rich history while offering visitors the chance to immerse themselves in pioneering technology associated with the local nuclear industry, as well as feature exhibitions that draw crowds from across the world.
"Our sprawling coastline offers visitors golden sands and picturesque scenery with views to the Isle of Man.
"I hope to see this rise continue for many years to come and more and more people have the chance to experience our stunning surroundings.

Return of owners of land, 1873
This return was compiled by the Local Government Board from existing records of rateable values. It was organised by county, but only gave the address of each owner and not the location of their land, so it does not provide a full list of who owned land in Winslow, and the people whose address was Winslow sometimes owned land elsewhere (notably S.B. Dudley). It was sometimes referred to as the "modern Domesday", but many inaccuracies were found.
Because most of the land in Winslow stll belonged to the Selby-Lowndes estate, no-one else owned much more than 100 acres.

When new game systems launch, it's easy to get caught up in the hype. But with games priced at $60 each, you don't want to make an expensive mistake just because you're blinded by PlayStation 3 puppy love. We tested the PS3's exclusive games to find out which are worthy.
Along the way, you're loaded up with all kinds of awesome alien weaponry. My favorite right now is the Augur, which lets you blast through walls and hide behind a makeshift force field during heavy firefights.
Lone complaint: Mission checkpoints are spread too far apart. Battles only get tense when something's at risk, but Resistance sometimes makes you retread so much ground that you'll get bored.
You don't need to be a racing-game expert to have fun in Ridge Racer 7 – just put the pedal to the metal and take off. The series' blazing sense of speed, awesome driving music and flashy presentation make a mostly great showpiece game for PS3.
If you're looking over somebody's shoulder as they play Ridge, you might see some really nasty-looking background graphics, but when you're hunched over, gritting your teeth, trying to get into the slipstream of an oncoming car and using your nitrous to boost around it, you won't notice.
One caveat: Fans say the PS3 title is a director's cut of last year's Xbox 360 game more than a true sequel. If you already own the Xbox version, you might want to rent this one.
I usually love medieval hack-and-slash action games, but Genji: Days of the Blade is a disappointment. It's not that the demon-slashing action, which lets you swap among four different characters with their own brutal weapons, is particularly flawed. It's mostly because the camera more often than not obscures important parts of the battle (like enemies with murder on their minds).
I never spent so much time in an action-based game wandering around, wondering what I was supposed to do. Often, Genji just isn't clear enough about where you're supposed to go next. The result is a slow-paced, often-boring adventure.
Bonus bummer: A game-killing glitch causes a necessary item to disappear.
This one bills itself as an RPG, but I didn't play any roles when I tried Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. Mostly I just whaled on the attack buttons for hours on end, obliterating waves of enemies (and my right thumb).
Graphic deficiency: Untold Legends might be the ugliest of the first batch of PS3 games. Whether you're exploring a war-torn castle town or a haunted forest, the window dressing is just as boring and repetitive as the gameplay.
While otaku might love stomping around in giant robot suits, that doesn't mean I have to. Gundam: Crossfire is easily the worst PS3 game I tested.
The gameplay is remarkably simplistic – you stomp your giant robot toward giant enemy robots and attempt to hit them with your guns and laser sword – and the developer seems to have struggled mightily with just getting the game to run. Though the environments are simply barren stretches of desert, the frame rate is awful, the pace sluggish.
Final flaw: Whether you succeed or die is generally left to chance, as it's nearly impossible to see what's going on once two robots get into a skirmish.

Home Columnist Say hello to my little friend!
Say hello to my little friend!
Alf Gasparro
Well, the West Ham world is still reeling from the abysmal display on Sunday last against Manchester City but the fallout within the camp may be further cause for concern. Much has been said of Moyes' tactical floundering and lethargic substitutions but it would appear that some of the players are not best pleased with the goings on either.
Of course, Hernandez is the obvious leader of the boo brigade…and rightly so for not being used properly and effectively since Moyes arrived. In fact, ever since his arrival, West Ham have not shown the quality to supply him with good passes and support for him to capitalise upon…and this would likely mean that he would venture away for the London Stadium come the summer, no matter the fate of the club.
However, during the game on Sunday…Andy Carroll was visibly frustrated with the substitutions and why he was not introduced earlier to instill some fear and panic into the Man City defensive lines. There was a brief spat between manager and player whilst on the bench, which saw Carroll leave and return to the dressing room, then allegedly this continued onto Monday during the training session at Rush Green.
Perhaps the players are becoming just as frustrated as the fans are with the manager…perhaps the owners might be rethinking their intentions to extend Moyes' contract beyond the summer, however, what is certain is that the team are not performing anywhere near to their potential and the capitulations and anaemic ambitions are starting to take their toll…on the players, the manager and of course on the fans.
One would love to be the fly on the wall and listen to Moyes deliver a rousing speech before the game, or inspire his men to be bold and go big in the second half during the half-time talk…or even how he debriefs the players after such a loss…but all most fans would really like to do is enact a 'Scarface' scene and live the Tony Montana moment to pepper over their heads with cyclical shots from an AR-15…merely to wake them up and instill some fight or flight reaction.
Initially, the manager was able to turn things around, the players responded and the club were keen to tell the world how wonderful the training sessions were going. He even claimed that only players that worked hard and put in a good display would feature in future games. "If you don't run, you won't play!" However, there have been too many instances when players have remained in the starting line up after a poor performance and woefully uncommitted displays. His inconsistency in being the disciplinarian has made a mockery of his initial statement, and whilst he might feel that some of the supporting players may not be good enough, it still might have been better for team morale to make the switches.
Now, just as when under Bilic…the players are starting to fold and are playing without guidance and a plan. The defensive approach simply isn't working anymore and the players are reacting negatively towards it also. At some stage, both players and manager must come together and openly discuss the failings within the group. There has to be some tough talk inside the dressing room and for Noble to be the leader to bring everyone together in the remaining games.
The fanbase would see Moyes gone for good at the end of the season, as they would the owners for placing the club upon fragile foundations, however, the players must also take responsibility for the below-par displays and the wilting intentions on the field of play. Whilst the tactics might be wrong, the players also need to take it upon themselves to show a lot more during the games and to fight with every breath until the bitter end.
Only then will the fans relinquish the belief that the players and the manager are jointly responsible for the chaos surrounding the club. There are three games left and the fanbase is looking for a stellar turnaround in fortunes but is it possible for this squad of players to deliver…can Moyes deliver any attacking endeavour?
The first test will be away to Leicester City at the weekend, then back to London Stadium for Manchester United and Everton. All have the potential to yield points, even a potential win if the players can act as a coordinated unit, retain possession and support the front-runners. However, just as likely is for three straight losses with a worsening goal difference and that would very likely see the club relegated. That would be two successive seasons that Moyes has taken a team down to the Championship…surely he and the players would do all in their power to prevent this from happening?
Perhaps it will come down to the very last day of the season! Perhaps a hard-fought point against Everton may be just enough to keep the club safe…but be under no illusions…it will not be a glorious escape! It will be fortune over method and the cheers and applause will be reserved for when the culling finally commences. The verbal assault rifles will be at the ready and the team must take their licks…whilst all the fans shout, "Say Hello To My Little Friend!"

Episode 7: Rules Around the Senate Filibuster
The filibuster effectively means 60 votes are usually required to take action in the Senate. But Senate majorities can make or change rules to get around it. In 2017, Republicans went "nuclear" on Supreme Court nominations and used reconciliation rules to pass tax cuts (but chose not to limit the scope of the Byrd Rule). New books by Molly Reynolds and James Wallner explain when Senate majority parties use procedures to get around the filibuster. Reynolds finds parties follow their electoral and policy preferences, but Wallner finds that minority party threatened retaliation can deter change. Matt Grossmann talks to both about the future prospects for the filibuster and the ways around it.
The Niskanen Center's Political Research Digest features up-and-coming researchers delivering fresh insights on the big trends driving American politics today. Get beyond punditry to data-driven understanding of today's Washington with host and political scientist Matt Grossmann. Each 15-minute episode covers two new cutting-edge studies and interviews two researchers.You can subscribe to the Political Research Digest on iTunes here.
Grossmann: This week on Political Research Digest: How U.S. Senate majorities play hardball. Avoiding the filibuster and using budget reconciliation. For the Niskanen Center, I'm Matt Grossmann.
Senate Republicans have restricted the use of the filibuster a lot this year. Going nuclear on appointing a new Supreme Court Justice, reversing Obama administration Policy, and using budget reconciliation to pass tax reform.
A new book, "Exceptions to the Rule; The Politics of Filibuster Limitations in the US Senate", published by Brookings Institution Press argues that majorities use exceptions to win policy closer to their ideals and to benefit electorally. I talked to author, Molly Reynolds, of the Brookings Institution about how the latest use fits historical patterns.
There's a long ratcheting up of Senate hardball, between the parties, but sometimes the potential rules changes are diffused. To find out why, I also talked to James Wallner, of the R Street Institute about his new book from the University of Michigan Press: "On Parliamentary War; Partisan Conflict and Procedural Change in the US Senate". He finds that term and senate minorities could deter majorities from changing the filibuster.
Political scientists traditionally argue that the filibuster (the requirement to get 60 votes to end debate) means both senate actions require widespread support; but Molly Reynolds finds a long history of majoritarian exceptions:
Reynolds: I think a most important lesson that folks can take away from my book is that, yes, the filibuster is really important in understanding how the Senate works, and how the Senate has changed over time. So if we care about not just the Senate as an institution, but also about the policies that the Senate is capable of producing, we're really missing an important part of the picture if we just think about the filibuster and don't pay attention to these exceptions to the filibuster that I talk about in the book.
Grossmann: But the exceptions tend to increase partisanship rather than solve gridlock.
Reynolds: When the Senate develops special procedures and then uses the special procedures that it has, it largely does fall in line with partisan motivations and so we don't necessarily want to think about what's happening in the book as kind of the solution to the gridlock confront conduct.
Grossmann: Budget reconciliation, used this year for taxes and healthcare, is one big example.
Reynolds: Budget reconciliation is probably the best known example of the classic procedures that I studied in the book and I realize that it's sort of funny to say that reconciliation is the best-known example of anything, but it's probably the one that folks are most familiar with and so it is it is one procedure among a set of procedures that basically involves a limitation on how long the Senate can debate a particular bill, so in the case of reconciliation, it's 20 hours. As anyone who's watched either the on the health care debate over the summer or should it be the ongoing tax debate, knows that once that clock starts ticking on those 20 hours on the floor of the summit, that's the amount of time the summit has for debate, and that has the effect of preventing the possibility of a filibuster. Once that 20 hours is up, they have to take the vote.
Grossmann: It's not new. Reconciliation has been a big part of major policy changes for decades.
Reynolds: It has pretty wide-reaching policy responses, so again we've see that this year, vis a healthcare and taxes, but if by that you meant going back to the early 80's, there are other major policy changes including Clinton's Welfare Reform, those rounds of the tax cuts under George W Bush, as parts of the Affordable Care Act. They were all enacted using that particular procedure.
Grossmann: Reynolds finds that the Senate uses reconciliation when the Floor majority prefers the relevant committees likely built the 60th Senate voters' preferences.
That was true for taxes this year, but not for cap and trade under Obama.
Reynolds: When the majority party leadership is trying to decide what committees to give instructions to, it has to think about what kind of bill is a committee going to produce. Is it going to produce a bill a simple majority of the majority party in the Senate is going to like or would that simple majority prefer the outcome they would get if they handled the same issues through a regular one-sided process. In the book I talk about this example in Cap And Trade, into [00:04:35], where I think there's pretty good evidence that the median member of the full senate, who is a moderate Democrat, might have preferred a kind of Cap And Trade Bill that was generated through the regular legislative process than one that the applicable Senate committee could just write themselves and that would be hard to change on the floor.
Grossmann: The cost of reconciliation is that bills must be designed to affect spending and taxes, and not increase the deficit after 10 years. Provisions enforced by the Bird Rule:
Reynolds: What we now call the, "Bird Rule", [00:05:12]sort of puts a box around what could be considered reconciliation though. I think that by and large it's still kind of what Bird intended in terms of keeping the process hemmed in.
Grossmann: Sometimes parties can achieve the same policy results by changing the mechanism to fit the rule:
Reynolds: A lot of the things that they initially took to the parliamentary in 2015 was a straight refuel of the individual mandate, and the requirements that individuals have to purchase health insurance coverage, and the parliamentarians said, "No, you cannot repeal the individual mandate as part of the reconciliation process as per the [00:05:45]Bird Rule", so then the Senate staff went back to the drafting table and said, "Alright is there a different way that we could accomplish this?", and it turns out that the Parliamentarian was okay with just setting the penalty for not purchasing health insurance at zero.
Grossmann: What's different in 2017 is that both major bills were advanced through reconciliation.
Reynolds: This year we had, there were a couple things that congressional majorities tried to use the process twice in one year, which is a little unusual, they had the healthcare attempt and the tax attempt, and so it will be interesting to see if they hey continue to try to use it for the big party-defining goals.
Grossmann: But reconciliation is hardly Reynolds' only example of exceptions to the filibuster:
Reynolds: Other examples that folks have heard of include the procedures for closing military bases, long-term out-of-time trade agreements, we've seen recently some of these procedures and ones that are, 'similar to them" cross off in the foreign policy arena, so we've seen, for example, in several laws that Congress passed regarding the nuclear deal with Iran.
Grossmann: Some of these procedures are used to avoid blame, like on Fast Track Authority for trade agreements:
Reynolds: One category of these procedures in the book I refer to them as, "Delegation exceptions," are in my mind largely meant to help Congress avoid blame for things, so in the case of trade, for example, you're absolutely right that we have we have a long history of using what are generally called, "Fast Track" procedures for trade agreements, where basically Congress gives the President the authority to negotiate the trade agreement and then that trade agreement comes back to Congress for [00:07:33]no amendments vi agreement and can't be filibustered in the Senate and part of why that of why Congress thought that was a good idea is because to the extent that there are benefits to free trade, they are realized in a very diffuse manner. To the extent that there are costs. Those costs are felt and concentrated often particular geographic areas.
Grossmann: This term, Republicans have taken advantage of their exception to review administrative acts.
Reynolds: The Congressional Review Act, which is another procedure that I talked a little bit about in the book, where Congress can roll back a newly promulgated executive branch regulation, and the resolution to doing that can't be filibustered in the Senate. This was used, this procedure was used pretty heavily by Republicans at the beginning of Congress, I think in part since they came into office in January and were looking for a pretty easy off-the-shelf policy accomplishments.
Grossmann: Republicans also extended the nuclear option to the Supreme Court this term, confirming Neil Gorsuch with a 50-vote threshold.
James Wallner finds that the majority parties incentives to create exceptions are not always clear-cut:
Wallner: The most important thing about my book is that it explains why procedural change occurs in the Senate over the objections of the minority party. That is, why the majority will use what we've referred to as, "The Nuclear Option", which is changing the Senate rules and violation of those rules are circumventing or ignoring the Senate rulings via a majority vote on the Senate floor.
Grossmann: He clarifies it using fights over, "The Nuclear Option" during the Bush and Obama administrations:
Wallner: It really does present us with a puzzle because in reality, a majority can change the Senate rules whenever it wants to, right? Simply by overturning the ruling of the Chair and creating a new precedent that supersedes those rules, even though it may be in violation of them.
Now this presents us with a puzzle because it's not clear why the majority would ultimately tolerate a rule in a process it is used to thwart their agenda, which is has been in increasing years, right? In recent years.
On one hand, one explanation is, "Well it's not really needed", right? They don't need to use the Nuclear Option and because they can ultimately change rules whenever they want to and therefore we just assume that the majority likes the rules as they exist, and if they don't, then they will just threaten to change the rules and then the minority ultimately complies. And so therefore, it's okay, and that explains it and that's not entirely clear because that's not able to explain past instances of contested procedural change like, say that that occurred in 2005 when the majority, the Republican majority at the time, on the Senate, clearly wanted to change the rules of the objection of the minority Democrats, but were unable to do so.
There is another explanation and the conventional wisdom in the academic literature on the subject that says, "Changing the rules is really hard, especially over the objections of the minority party", and therefore, the filibuster that persists because the majority doesn't have the capability to change the rules as much as it would like, and this is what we would refer to maybe as like a path-dependent view of the Senate rules, and it will. It points to the 2005 instance and says, "Look. Here's a case where the majority wanted to change the rules and minority said, "No" and threatened retaliation and the majority was ultimately unable to overcome those threats and decided to not follow through and meet the filibuster at the time.
But the problem with that explanation is that it doesn't explain 2013 instance when the majority Democrats ultimately used the Nuclear Option to eliminate the filibuster over the minority's objections.
Grossmann: The comparison shows the minority party can deter rules' changes.
Wallner: Comparing the 2005 instance to the 2013 instance, then it's not simply a uni-directional motion of ever greater obstruction of ever-greater restriction, that the majority's ability to ultimately go nuclear is, I think, contingent in part on the minority's response, and that the minority that is determined to react, determined to link the rank-in-file members of the majority's decision to go nuclear with unpalatable policy outcomes in the future, they can condition and deter the majority from ultimately following through.
Grossmann: Wallner says the Democrats did not issue retaliatory threats over Gorsich this year.
Wallner: Today, you see something very similar when the Republicans use the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster for the Supreme Court. You go back and look at what the Democrats did to try to dissuade the Republicans from following through with their threats. They didn't actually threaten retaliation, right? There's no real effort to increase the cost on the rank-in-file members of the majority party, either in the moment, or in the future, for ultimately going through on it.
Grossmann: Minority parties have a variety of tools to gum up the works, even without the filibuster.
Wallner: If you force-recorded votes on every resolution, every motion, every amendment, every nominee, there's just not enough time for the Senate to do everything. There's not and I look at this in the book and try to, using a counter-factual analysis, [00:12:56]recent Congress, is then assume what would happen, what would the agenda look like, what would the work week look like if all of these recorded votes were insisted on.
Wallner: The other thing is that you can offer amendments, right? Right now the majority fills the tree and blocks all amendments, in an effort to protect it's members from forcing, from taking votes that it doesn't want to take, but there's no reason why any member can't just stand up and offer an amendment anyway. It's not in order, the Chair rules it out of order, you appeal the ruling of the Chair, right? With 20 members, you get a vote. Should that amendment be pending? It's the 20 votes, it's 20.
Grossmann: For that reason, even a determined faction within a party could force bargaining.
Wallner: The tactics that it outlines for how minorities can really threaten majorities, they're not dependent on a unified minority party, right? A faction within that party can, or a faction within the majority party for that matter, can employ these tactics as leverage to get whomever the powers that be in the Chamber to bargain with them.
Grossmann: Wallner says this year Republicans used reconciliation because it was easier than rules changes:
Wallner: Senators will always follow the path of least resistance, and reconciliation does offer an alternative path to past big-ticket items, and it speaks to the continued power of the Senate rules, even those that authorize the filibuster, they are willing to follow that path, even thought it entails certain costs, right? There are lots of restrictions with regard to reconciliation that make it more difficult to do things that otherwise would be.
Wallner: With regard to the Bird Rule, you know it was exclusively designed to narrow the use of reconciliation and prevent it from being used as an end run around the filibuster. It's interesting that the Bird Rule, efforts by the majority to adjudicate precedent on the Bird Rule were greeted with such fierce pushback and this is very similar to the pushback used when members try to challenge the amendment tree and offer what I call in the book, "Third Degree Amendment". Both the Amendment Tree and the Bird Rule are largely defined by precedent, not by standing rule or by statute.
Grossmann: What can senators learn from this research? Wallner says the majority should take a long-term view:
Wallner: They would hope that the leadership would read this and see that the minority does have, whether it be an interim party minority, or the minority party itself, does have leverage, and to negotiate with the majority, with the minority to resolve outcomes so that they don't get to this extreme situation where you have gridlock. I think more broadly viewing the Parliamentary process, the legislative process, and the struggles between the two sides in that process as in the context of the Parliamentary war, right? And putting it in that larger, strategic context, it shows the majority that there are ways in which they can actually prevail over a minority.
Grossmann: Reynolds says making exceptions to the filibuster won't turn the Senate into the House:
Reynolds: Using these procedures doesn't just turn the Senate into the House. There are other features of the Senate, particularly, in my mind, the Senate's unique electoral structure. I mean that it's just a different kind of an institution than the House is, so even if you are using there procedures that prevent the possibilities of filibuster, you are still going to end up with a different institutional environment than in the Lower Chamber.
Grossmann: While Wallner says the minority party can learn that it has a lot of power to make life difficult:
Wallner: If you're in the minority, what you're trying to do is you're trying to dissuade members like Susan Collins, right? Members like Lisa Mikowski, members like John McCain or Bob Corcoran, but also Conservative members who are institutionally minded like a Mike Lear or others who are fundamentally uncomfortable, I think, with this idea of the Nuclear Option. You are trying to dissuade them from ultimately recording the majority effort to Nuke the filibuster, right, what you ultimately want to do is you want to force them to do things that are unpleasant.
Grossmann: So where are we headed? Reynolds suggests Congress could be using filibuster exceptions to check administration foreign policy.
Reynolds: The idea that Congress, what it's concerned about is it's ability to weigh in on foreign policy decisions. One thing that it can do is use some of these special procedures to enhance it's ability to at least have some public input on what's happening and signal to the public how it's using them to [00:17:27]foreign policy choices and I think it will be another important thing to watch.
Grossmann: Wallner says to accept more filibuster exceptions for judiciary nominees:
Wallner: My expectation is that you will see further restrictions of the filibuster on the judicial side, and by that I mean Rule 22, so it's not just the threshold by which Court has ended, the filibuster has ended, which was reduced from the 3/5th to the simple majority by the repeated use of the nuclear option, both earlier this year and 2013, it also defines what it takes to follow through and confirm a nominee, so my expectation is you will see the majority, either the Republicans or the Democrats eventually use the Nuclear Option to reduce the 30-hours debate time.
Grossmann: For researchers, Reynolds says the next step is to figure out just which Senators are empowered by filibuster exceptions:
Reynolds: Questions about who in the Chamber gets advantaged by the use of the process, and so there's obviously a partisan story and it's the story I tell in the book but on an even more-micro-level, there are certain people who understand how the process works and can try to use it to their advantage.
Grossmann: There's a lot more to learn. Political Research Digest is available biweekly from the Niskanen Center.

The purpose for running defragmentation software is to put your files into contiguous form (or more organised form for your hard drive to read). When a file is created, it looks for open locations on the hard drive and places a piece of the file here, and there, and so on and so forth – they become 'fragmented'.
As files become more and more fragmented your hard drive takes longer to load files and save them. Disk Defragmenter puts them into a more logical order, which greatly improves system performance.
This may take 20 minutes, or longer, depending on how badly the drive is fragmented. In Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 it is possible to carry on doing other things whilst the defragmentation is taking place, but the system may respond sluggishly. On Windows 98 and ME, you should not do any other work while defragmentation is running, not even let the screensaver run.
Once in the disk defragment program, make sure you have selected the '(c:)' drive and then press the 'defragment' button.
You don't need to monitor the process. Once the process is complete, a summary will present itself. Click 'OK' and then close program and restart the computer. You should see benefits in speed almost immediately, if not run it again.
If you work with large files such as audio, video, or big images, you may wish to defragment on a weekly basis. Most users should not need to defragment more frequently than once a month.

I've often walked past and seen children (and adults) learning to play amongst the numerous string instruments there for sale, repair, tuning or simply all forming to create a retailing work of art – a charming sight to behold.
So… apart from Mark repairing these magical instruments, and him playing violin himself, his wife is also an extremely talented #violinist too! We'll be meeting up again soon as there's another potential idea we floated around that evening – watch this space!

Allen, A.S. & Dawe, K.
Ryan, R. (2015). No tree-no leaf: Applying resilience theory to eucalypt-derived musical traditions. In Allen, A.S. & Dawe, K. (Eds.), Current directions in ecomusicology: Music, culture, nature (pp. 57-68). Third Avenue, New York: Routledge.
A close and creative relationship between Eucalyptus and the indigenous peoples of Australia is etched onto the island-continent's cultural and physical history. To the modern botanist, eucalypts are plants in three closely related genera - Eucalyptus, Corymbia, and Angophora - all of which are studded with oil glands, but to the average Australian they are simply "gum trees" (Wrigley and Fagg 2010, vi). The musicalization of eucalypts - via the aerophones made from termite-hollowed trunks (didjeridus/didjeridoos) and carefully chosen gumleaves - sets up a unique sonic arena contingent upon an audience's capacity to invest nature with meaning. Performances in situ can evoke a sense of proportion: the sights and sounds of didjeridus (end-blown drone-pipes) and fragile leaf matter related to vast ecological systems that are subject to long-term climate change and short-term vicissitudes. The supply of eucalypts for gumleaf playing and didjeridu production has always been subject to the richness or harshness of local habitats, and - since European contact - to anthropogenic (human-induced) damage to the fabric of the landsape.


This is a tale of a young drummer boy marching across Icelandic fields, banging his drum and collecting a following of children along the way. With the climax of the song the children charge a cliff and in a moment of cinematic triumph they fly off into the horizon. An essential classic fairy tale.
