post-title The Diva and Bagnacavallo | Ebe Stignani
When the diva is a mezzo
Romantic opera brought at the centre of the stage sopranos, heroines of every love drama composed by Bellini to Donizetti to Puccini passing through Verdi.
Mezzo-sopranos in those days played somehow the part of "Cinderella", before the meeting with the fairy Godmother. Relegated mostly to a secondary role, they were seldom able to share the popularity and admiration granted to the leading sopranos of their time.
Ebe Stignani, one of the most beautiful voices of the last century
Take for example Ebe Stignani. Not many know her or who she was, yet she was one of the most beautiful voices and of the finest musicians of the last century.
Ebe Stignani and Maria Callas
Stignani was a main star at the Teatro Alla Scala while Maria Callas was just starting her cooperation with the Milan stage. Those were Callas' difficult first years at La Scala, where she debuted in 1950 as a replacement to Renata Tebaldi in Aida. There was certainly a pre-established criticism if not hostility and even a lack of interest for Callas' vocal talents, that kept growing till 1953 when, after a Norma with Stignani, the Greek soprano left Italy to return to the US.
Rumour has it that the young Maria would have been interested in getting lessons from the already famous Stignani, who had an impeccable technique. However, due to some frictions between the two singers on the stage – some argue it could have been Callas tendency to be the only protagonist on the stage – the lessons never happened.
A voice of extraordinary quality, great volume and extension
Ebe Stignani at the time was a leading singer at the Teatro la Scala. Equipped with a voice of extraordinary quality, great volume and extension, she was performing also in roles written for contralto and dramatic soprano, supported by a sound technique and a solid musical education – she was a pianist.
From the 1930s to 1956 she constantly performed at La Scala in various main roles including Eboli, Adalgisa, Laura, Azucena, Leonora and took part in the opening of at least 20 opera seasons.
Stignani: from Naples to the world
Stignani sang, among others theatres, at Covent Garden – in 1937, 1939, 1952, 1955 and 1957 – in San Francisco in 1938 and 1948 – in Chicago in 1955.

Stignani enrolled at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in 1916, aged 13, and graduated there in 1923 in piano and composition. In 1925, 22 years old, she made her debut at the prestigious San Carlo Theater in Naples.
That was the start of an incredible international career, which brought the young Ebe to many theatres of South America (especially Argentina and Chile) and made of her one of the most sought-after mezzo-sopranos of her time.

Stignani's bond with Bagnacavallo
Stignani was born in Naples but her parents were both originally from Bagnacavallo in Romagna. She never forgot her roots in Romagna and in 1935 settled in Imola, where she got married in 1941. She retired from the stage in 1958 and died in 1974. The theatre in Imola is now named after her.
Stignani's final resting place, a simple grave in Bagnacavallo cemetery
Bagnacavallo celebrates its diva
Bagnacavallo claims a strong bond with the diva, confirmed by her choice of the city cemetery as her final resting place. That bond has been revived recently during a concert organised at the theatre Goldoni by the local pro-loco – an entity devoted to the promotion of the area – to mark its 50th anniversary with the municipality of Bagnacavallo and attended by another great Neapolitan: conductor Riccardo Muti.

The concert was organised by Giuseppe Montanari, for many years stage director of conductor Gavazzeni in Florence and subsequently of Muti at La Scala and presented by soprano Wilma Vernocchi.
Performed by two Italian rising mezzos, Daniela Pini and Anna Maria Chiuri, Stignani's main repertoire was brought back to life, while an endless series of images of the many roles and moments of her wonderful career were projected on the stage.

The concert provided a wonderful opportunity for a delightful visit to the town of Bagnacavallo.
In Bagnacavallo, at the heart of Romagna
Located at the very heart of Romagna – the southern part of the Emilia-Romagna region – Bagnacavallo is the perfect place to experience a relaxing, more personal journey through the real soul of this part of central Italy. With a lot to do and see, including the magnificent Ravenna, Forlimpopoli, centre of Italian cookery, Imola and Faenza major centres for ceramics and pottery, this place won't certainly disappoint any visitor.
The XIII century Civic Tower
The main feature of Bagnacavallo city centre is the XIII century Civic Tower, 35 meters high, where the bandit Stefano Pelloni known as "Il Passatore" was imprisoned in 1849.

Stefano Pelloni, the bandit Il Passatore
A portrait of Stefano Pelloni "Il Passatore" (1824-1851)
Pelloni, born nearby Bagnacavallo in 1824, is considered the most wretched among the brigands active in Romagna.
His famous strategy was the almost military occupation of entire towns, where he would search the homes of the richest and torture them to reveal the money and jewel cache. In Romagna he's almost a star, he's myth has grown to embody what is now considered a local version of Robin Hood.
The robbery at the theatre in Forlimpopoli (1851) on the cover of Zalgari's nover "Il Passatore"
One of the more extravagant of his robbery took actually place in a theatre on the night of January 25, 1851.
Arriving in Forlimpopoli Il Passatore and his fellow brigands entered the theatre during the interval, came out on the stage from the closed curtains and punched their weapons against the spectators.
Among the robbed families was also that of Pellegrino Artusi, the "father of Italian cooking" whose sister Gertrude was raped that night, losing her mind from shock.
Piazza Nuova
Another highlight of Bagnacavallo is the delightful Piazza Nuova, a loggia style building on an elliptical plan, built in 1758 and now completely refurbished, which is the first example in the area of a structure built for commercial purposes.

Piazza Nuova is a perfect place to enjoy local delicacies and wines and a lively ambience day and night.
The local wine: Burson
Don't forget to ask for the Burson, an ancient variety of grape typical of the area. It's a wine of a deep ruby red colour with a dry full-bodied taste that bears the scents of the Ravenna pine-woods. It's supposed to be an unbeatable match for game and red meats, as well as mature cheese.
San Pietro in Sylvis
The true gem of Bagnacavallo is, however, the Basilica of San Pietro in Sylvis. Built around 650 AC, probably over another building – possibly a pagan temple – in early Romanesque style, it's one of the oldest, most beautiful and better preserved of the whole region.
The basilica of San Pietro in Sylvis (650 a.c. ca)
Anna, a lovely lady who was born and lived all her life in a house located 800 meters from the church, tells me in details the history of the building, with a remarkable pride, enthusiasm and love for a place that has witnessed not only her whole life but many more.
An ancient church is always a sign of history not only religious but also cultural and artistic. This pieve which retains its solemn and harmonious beauty was at the centre of an area archaeologists confirm was already inhabited centuries before the Christians.
With the fall of the Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions, forests grow back over the Roman settlements.

A basilica "in the woods"
In the times of the struggles between Byzantines and Lombards, a few decades after Pope Gregory Magno the church was erected in sylvis which literally means "in the woods" around the year 650, at a crossing point between the roads which brought Christianity to every corner of the Italian peninsula.
The building, over 32 meters long and a 15 width could hold more than 1300 people. The façade is solemn and simple while inside the discreet light gives a meditative atmosphere and harmony to the space, divided into three aisles.
Under the altar, the crypt, probably built around the year 1000 for the preservation of relics, accessible by two openings at either side of the presbytery.

The marvellous frescoes by the Riminese school, influenced by Giotto
The marvellous frescoes, completed around 1320, are one of the focal point of this church, probably a work of Pietro da Rimini of the great Riminese school, influenced by Giotto.

The acoustic of the church is simply perfect, an irresistible invitation for a musician. Who knows if Ebe Stignani ever sang here? If she did we would have certainly loved to hear her!

« WHY REPLACE THE PLANETARIUM PROJECTOR?
I miss Paul Wellstone. The American Health Care Act (AHCA) was pushed through the House at lightning speed. Fortunately, House bills don't go directly to the President. There is the Senate. The idea, however, was to get this bill passed, so the representatives could go back to their districts without dealing with angry constituents.
Oh, there will be some angry confrontations to be sure, but unlike the roll out of the Affordable Care Act, there will be no debate at town halls. Then representative Gabrielle Giffords had raucous ones, including one that ended rather quickly when a firearm fell out of a guy's pocket. This was, after all, Arizona. I'd say that Giffords was shot by Tea Party activists, but that isn't true, not that the truth matters much in today's America. No, she was shot by a mentally ill individual who had access to a gun (another story that is going to likely happen again in today's America, but I won't discuss that issue here). The Tea Party was thrilled, I'm sure, since they have no shame, and they are thrilled that the hated "Obamacare" is again repealed.
It is obvious that the Republicans had no health care plan ready for rollout, or they would have had it on the table 3 January, had it passed and to the Senate on 21 January, if they worked on Saturday, which many of "the little people" do. This bill was cobbled together with little input from many, including other Republicans, who are likely going to be wrong about the anger of their constituents, since the Senate will not pass this bill as it stands. There appear to be three groups of Republicans: those who like the bill, those who think it didn't go far enough, and a small, but important few who think what we had was worth preserving.
There is a lot about the AHCA that I could address, but I will stick to five comments. First, what people call it is important. A significant number think Obamacare and the ACA are different, and the Republicans succeeded in making "Obamacare" a hated name. Shame goes to the Democrats and journalists who bought into that. Currently, there is some effort to tell us not to label the AHCA "Trumpcare," which Paul Krugman says we should. I agree with him, even if I have to use the name. I prefer Voldemort.
Second, the bill has a mandate that if somebody lets his or her insurance lapse, they must pay a 30% increase in premiums to get covered again. This mandated tax—let's call it what it is—will hurt many, those who don't understand insurance, don't get, open, or understand their mail, and may throw things out without realizing how important they are. These very people—and there are many of them— stand to be hurt by an increase in premiums, and I suspect their health is normally not very good. A lot them are poor, elderly, people of color, uneducated, unemployed or underemployed, who won't be able to understand their coverage.
Third, the notion of à la carte insurance presupposes people know what medical problems they will have in their lifetime. I'm a neurologist who trained until he was 32, knew a great deal about disease, and I would not have guessed the things I've had that I wouldn't have suspected. We don't know what medical conditions we will have. Individuals don't have that knowledge, Mr. Ryan. When they get ill, they want help and treatment, not to shop to compare insurance companies and enjoy a "free market" with "competition," comparing plans in the comfort of their trailer home which isn't paid for, and may not have food or heat. People don't have the knowledge to know what the insurance company is offering and more importantly not offering. Those Mr. Ryan thinks will benefit from competition won't, because they can't understand the complexity of medical care. No, I don't want people trying to choose what medical conditions they want to cover. They can't and shouldn't.
Finally, catastrophic care should be covered, even if it once failed to pass, because it would have taxed only the elderly. My late father, the epitome of a rational person, became totally unglued about the Catastrophic Care Act of 1988. I didn't dare mention it in his presence. Such conditions strike at any age and are almost by definition unpredictable. The biggest killer of people 15-44 is unintentional injury (read: accidents), double that of suicide, homicide, cardiac disease, and cancer, all of which are about the same. The common causes of ED visits are fever, otitis media, open wounds, contusions, sprains and strains: 1 in 5 in the ED were not insured (in 2010), and given the heavy use of CT and MRI imaging, injuries are expensive to treat.
À la carte coverage, like insuring oneself for what one thinks he will need, should be banned. As for those who believe men shouldn't have to pay for women's health care, this is a slippery slope for people like me who might say I shouldn't have to pay for people who don't eat right, smoke, chew, drink, have guns in their homes, don't wear seat belts, are overweight, don't exercise, take recreational drugs, and aren't vegetarian, for a start. It doesn't work. We can vary premiums a little, but when we start treading into areas that people are genetically or physically unable to control, we are asking for trouble. No, I can never get pregnant, but a woman can't get prostatitis and has a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than I do. As for paying for birth control, I can't think of many better cost-effective remedies, since fewer unwanted children takes pressure off young families, schools, jobs, and the whole health care system. We ought to pay women for taking birth control pills and tax men who use anti-ED drugs, since we need fewer sperm floating around.
Finally, we need a single payer system, like the one John Conyers introduced again, as he has since 2003. This would decrease overhead percentage dramatically, allow for standardization where it matters, require negotiation for drug costs, and track illnesses, treatment, quality, and yes—errors. A single payer system wouldn't cover everything, but it would cover what Medicare does. It wouldn't cover abortion, but it would cover contraception. It would cover what is scientifically known and rapidly cover what appears to be known. Insurance companies could sell supplementals with varying deductibles, for those who wish them to cover those conditions not necessarily covered under the standard policy, ED drugs being my favorite for non-coverage, but hey, I'm willing to bargain.
My bottom line: repealing the ACA before knowing how many million would lose coverage was heartless. People will die because of this bill, should it become law. Long term thinking would say providing medical care to the whole country would save money in the long run and be in keeping with our ideals.
At least the ideals we once had.

BlackSky awarded IARPA contract to develop platform for global construction monitoring using next generation artificial intelligence
(6 January 2021 – BlackSky) BlackSky today announced an award from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) for a multi-phase, multi-year research contract.
IARPA is responsible for leading research programs to overcome difficult challenges relevant to the U.S. intelligence community.
BlackSky is autonomously monitoring construction activity at the Flamingo Bay Naval Base in Port Sudan with the power of Spectra AI. Leveraging this powerful technology, BlackSky automatically flags new construction and monitors naval traffic into and out of the port, alerting its customers to important changes in near real-time. (courtesy: BlackSky)
BlackSky has been selected to aid in the development of IARPA's Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique (SMART) Program. The SMART program aims to automate the quantitative analysis of space-based imagery to perform broad-area searches for natural and man-made events using time-series imagery. BlackSky will expand upon its Spectra AI platform to develop a responsive system that can automatically monitor large-scale construction of critical infrastructure such as military bases, stadiums, campuses, dams, and airports.
"This is a tremendous breakthrough in unsupervised learning for our Spectra AI platform and an unprecedented step toward the future of global monitoring," said Brian O'Toole, CEO of BlackSky. "The IARPA SMART program is a natural fit for BlackSky given our deep expertise in geospatial analytics and our proven ability to deliver first-to-know insights."
Under the contract, BlackSky will create open source, supervised, and semi-supervised learning algorithms to recognize data patterns specific to large-scale construction projects. The combined effort will leverage the resources of NASA's and U.S. Geological Survey Landsat's constellation and Sentinel, the European space agency's constellation.

Trap Door that doesn't break the actor - Accomplice
Thread starter SeanR
SeanR
Currently working on Accomplice. I'm looking for ways to build a trap door that an actor can step on and it opens. The actor is supposed to die from stepping in the trap, so being able to fall without really hurting his leg is important. The actor remains onstage. The trapdoor will be in a platform that is 18" off the ground. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
techieman33
You could use a spring hinge like what would be used on a gate. They should be strong enough to hold a piece of plywood up and flush with the rest of the platform and then easily give way when stepped on.
Reactions: SeanR and (deleted member)
Thank you, I hadn't thought of that. Now here's the catch, I need to secure it to keep it closed during the rest of the show.

Can I take a moment to say I'm extremely concerned about this project. Falling through a trap door, even for a profesional is a dangerous thing to do. if it doesn't release perfectly, and if the actor is not positioned exactly on spot then they can be dropped off center and it will wind up dropping them at an angle which will result in them smacking their heads on the framing. I'm not being a nervous Nellie here I'm being a realist with "Years of experience" doing all sort of Staged Efects. I know it seems easy, we see it in the movies all the time. Well, In movies the profesional stuntmen are usually tied off in harnesses and supported by wires. We don't have that luxury on stage. Forgive me if this sounds pedantic but even an 18" drop, if not done perfectly, could result in some serious injuries. I would not attempt this stunt in a stage situation. Period. Think of the factors. You have to have a trap wich will release completely with no hesitation. you need to have the actor positioned perfectly ontop of the trap. Preferably you will need the trap to be made of two doors with the actor stnding directly on the seam between them. You are going to want a mechanism which once activated does not allow the doors to swing back and smack into the actor. Because the framing of the doors must me sufficient to withstand the weight of people the rest of the time, there will be some significant mass to fight. I would want the doors either Pnuematically or Hydraulically actuated to get them out of the way as fast as possible < faster than a gravity system alone> You are going to want a wireless actor interlock system so that the trap cannot be actuated until the actor is prepped for it. At the end of the day I would be asking myself even with all these safety measures, "Is it really worth the risk of injury ? Is there another way to accomplish the same effect.?"

Do I read the OP correctly? The gag platform is only 18" above a solid deck so the actor does not fall "THROUGH" the trap, only his leg goes in?

I agree that this sounds dangerous. My concern is that the actor isn't jumping in clean, you have these trap doors in the way potentially causing injury. I also don't like the 18" drop. What about modifying it so that the door is completely removed from underneath by a stage hand and the actor, in a controlled jump, simply steps down into a hole. Make it only 12" deep. Throw some padding underneath (like a wrestling mat). I would feel comfortable with it. You could also create some sort of fake trap lid (made of thin plywood so that it's doesn't have the force to injure) which could be closed on him from behind like a rat trap, giving some extra visual zaz to the scene. Have the actor sell the gag and it'll work just fine.
Work Safer in 2020 than you did in 2019!
Don't worry, I've screwed up bigger shows than this.

This is key. If you can't find a good way to make this work exactly, then the actor(s) need to be able to act like they've just broken through the floor, and then killed themselves.
And, I also second trying to borrow some mats from the athletics department if possible.

Cancer experts have called for access for girls to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to be scaled up as swiftly as possible, especially in poorer countries. The experts say that the HPV vaccine, given to girls to protect them against HPV, a virus that causes cervical cancer, is a 'critical' health tool.
More than 310,000 women die from cervical cancer every year. The vast majority of deaths are in poorer countries where immunisation rates against the HPV virus are low.
Data shows that cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. Figures from the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that in 2018, an estimated 570,000 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed worldwide.
In addition, IARC said that some anti-vaccine campaigners in wealthy countries are also persuading parents to refuse the vaccination for their children, leaving them at risk.
GSK makes the HPV vaccine Cervarix, which targets two strains of the virus, while Merck (MSD) makes a rival shot, Gardasil, which targets four strains.
In a separate statement to the WHO last week, the GAVI vaccines alliance called for greater support for HPV shots, saying it aimed to immunise 40 million girls in poorer countries against HPV by 2020, averting an estimated 900,000 deaths.
Commenting on the anti-vaccine campaign, IARC's director Elisabete Weiderpass said: "Unfounded rumours about HPV vaccines continue to unnecessarily delay or impede the scaling up of vaccination." She added that IARC was committed to fighting cervical cancer and "unequivocally confirms the efficacy and safety" of HPV shots.

Currently there is a very tough competition on the Internet when it comes to creating traffic and techniques to attract visitors. Although SEO techniques could help one way or the other, but due to the reality of so many blogs being created daily with so many people also competing on the same technique. I think there will always be some new trend of ways and technique that other blogger should adopt for you to be able to cope out with this fast changing world.
Well remember the saying, that the only constant thing in this world is change.
I will use leverage here as some techniques in which you use other people's resources or effort as well as also giving back in exchange of the favor you done for them.
1. Looking for other blogger that is open for guest blogs.
Although this is a common practice, but this one is really effective. This helps you established a good relationship with the blogger as well as being given the opportunity to create traffic by being a guest blogger, specially if the blogsite is already a well known blog or website.
2. Try to scout for some foundations, orphanage, church communities of your religions,civic organizations, clubs, and non-government organizations or by which their organization is divided whether into chapters or districts.
Try to approach their leaders or the press officer and lay-out this plan for them in a way that they will understand that both parties will benefit from it. Just make sure that they are open-minded people when it comes to technology.
And why this one could help? Because still there are so many of them out there who have lots and lots of activities and press releases that they want to put into a blog or website but no one can do it for them. You can volunteer to put up a site whether it's a blog or just a pure website for them in exchange of the posts, write-ups and articles that they will provide for you. While you just add your affiliate marketing posts and links in exchange of your service.
However this 2 techniques will still depend on the blogger's way of communicating as well as the sincerity and credibility of doing such approach.
Whatever you choose, try to put your heart in it and you might not notice that you had done 1 step further to your goals.
Looking for blogger who are open for guest blogging. Hmm! I need to do that. Thanks for sharing you methods.
thanks for this very informative post,but i think it would be difficult to get a guest blogger,otherwise very informative post.
Hi Carl and Froi. I find this very helpful on my blog and to my followers. Hope you won't mind if i post this on my blog along with your links.

China stocks on a DOWNHILL trend as COVID cases rise
Stocks for different Chinese companies continued on a downward trend as lockdowns imposed by Beijing paralyzed business operations. Forming part of China's zero-COVID strategy, the lockdowns came in response to spikes in Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) infections.
Shares of e-commerce company Alibaba fell as much as 10 percent on March 14, continuing to a 23 percent decline in just a three-day period. The firm established by Jack Ma, alongside the broader technology industry in China, has come under scrutiny from the central government in Beijing for some time now.
Tencent shares also experienced a downturn, falling as much as eight percent on March 14. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Chinese technology giant could face a record fine for violating the country's anti-money laundering laws. Tencent owns the social media platform WeChat, which is widely used on the mainland.
Technology firms were not the only victims of the downhill trend affecting Chinese companies. Stocks of Yum China – which owns the franchise rights to KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell in the country – fell 10 percent on March 14. The decline of Yum China stocks followed its warning that COVID-19 lockdowns severely affected its operating results. It pointed out a 20 percent year-over-year slowdown in sales in the first two weeks of March, which was attributed to the lockdowns.
Regulatory action by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also contributed to the downturn in Chinese stocks. It named five Chinese firms traded on U.S. exchanges – Yum China among them – as candidates for potential delisting due to inadequate disclosures under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) on March 10. The SEC gave the five companies a deadline of March 29 to submit evidence disputing their HFCAA identification.
Following the March 10 announcement by the SEC, Yum China shares fell as much as 15 percent. Despite not being named in the announcement, Alibaba stocks also plunged as much as 10 percent on that day.
Zero economic activity looming with zero-COVID policy
China has adhered to a zero-COVID policy ever since the pandemic began in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, in March 2020. However, the rise of the more infectious B11529 omicron variant proves to be a challenge to the zero-COVID approach.
Many cities in eastern China, including the port cities of Shanghai and Shenzhen, have been put under lockdown at the behest of Beijing. Known for being a technology hub, Shenzen's local economy is under threat due to the lockdowns. Singaporean newspaper Business Times reported that authorities placed Shenzhen's 17.5 million residents on March 13 into lockdown for at least a week, as COVID-19 cases surged there.
The Shenzhen lockdowns have shuttered a factory owned by Taiwanese company Foxconn in the area, potentially worsening the supply chain crunch. Foxconn operates facilities that assemble iPhones and other products for tech giant Apple. Financial institutions in the city located in Guangdong province, such as brokerages and big state banks, likewise suspended in-person services.
Aside from Shenzhen, the city of Shanghai also suspended in-person classes and inter-city bus services. The city of Changchun in the northeastern Jilin province was also locked down amid rising COVID-19 cases, with the measure affecting its population of about nine million.
Several economists have put in their two cents on the decision to lock down Shenzhen and other cities in the east. ANZ Chief Economist for Greater China Raymond Yeung said more cities may follow Shenzhen's example, noting how public transport was shut down and residents' movements were limited. "If the lockdown is extended, China's economic growth will be significantly affected."
Meanwhile, S&P Global Ratings Chief Economist for Asia-Pacific Louis Kuijs said the restrictions in Shenzhen make the economy "particularly vulnerable to the more contagious omicron variant." He added: "For China, omicron is a key risk for domestic demand, output and possibly supply chains."

A happy crowd, inspired by the spirit of Christmas, was milling joyously in Times Square, New York. Suddenly, cutting through the sounds of gayety, came a shrill whine. It became louder, and at the very second of midnight, a gigantic shell exploded, killing, maiming, destroying! At twelve hour intervals thereafter — no man knew in advance where — another shell burst devastatingly. Two great powers were openly accused in the newspapers. War — savage and bloody — was imminent, and Operator #5 realized that he had encountered his most cunning foe, the clever woman spy — Radi Havara!
At pulp magazine publisher Popular Publications, they took note of this isolationist trend and commissioned writer Frederick C. Davis to help develop a hero for their new monthly magazine, entitled Secret Service Operator #5.
The Red Invader is read with stirring intensity by Milton Bagby. Originally published in the January, 1935 issue of Operator #5 magazine.
Chapter 12: Big Gun Below!
In "The Red Invader," James Christopher matches wits against the deadly and beautiful spy Radi Havara - a woman with no country who sells her services to any country that can afford them. In addition to being cold blooded killer, with the deaths of at least four American Secret Service Agents to her credit; she has cunning and lethal intelligence.
Yet, when Radi Havara had the opportunity to kill Tim Donovan twice, she just slaps him in the face hard, content just to knock him to the ground with a stinging blow. She has no hesitation about wanting to kill Operator #5, yet, she does provide him with the means to save himself. And it's clear she considers Diane Elliot no competition worth mentioning.
A very compelling and tense Operator #5 adventure!

Manufactured by Integrated Survivability Technologies Limited (IST) The British Wolfhound Tactical Support Vehicle is a truck variant of the acclaimed Mastiff armoured troop carriers and is part of the Tactical Support Vehicles (TSV) group along with Husky (medium) and Coyote (small).
The British Wolfhound Tactical Support Vehicle was first deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and operated by the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (Fear Naught) in support of other vehicles such as the new Warthog.
Wolfhound provides a highly protected, load carrying vehicle to carry out a variety of tasks such as moving bulky stores for use in the construction of forward bases; as a Gun Tractor and Gun Limber for the Royal Artillery's 105mm Light Gun and finally to carry general stores like ammunition, food or water.
Integrated Survivability Technologies Limited (IST) is a joint venture company between Force Protection Inc and Coventry-based NP Aerospace. The contract is for the supply of over 90 heavy tactical support vehicles based on the Cougar (American vehicle of which the British Mastiff is an up-armoured variant) design. The development will create 50 new jobs within NP Aerospace and the supplier base.
Wolfhound will be armed with a 7.62 GPMG self-defence weapon and the normal fit of radio and electronic equipment. Its commonality of design will ensure that the support solution is already in place, and that the training bill for troops using the fleet is minimised.

Heavy backlash surrounds changes to KHSAA golf state tournament
by Ryan Richardson

in News, Sports

A quick scroll through social media will show a wall of negativity surrounding the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's decision to restructure the state golf tournaments.
The most controversial decision made at Tuesday's KHSAA Board of Control meeting is reducing the number of players who compete on a team at the state championship from five to four.
The decision to adopt this format was not well-received by golfers and coaches across the state, and even PGA Tour pros chimed in.
Justin Thomas — a Saint Xavier High School graduate who is currently No. 4 in the Official World Golf Ranking — tweeted his thoughts Wednesday night:
"Do the right thing here @KHSAA," Thomas tweeted. "This is a really bad decision. A lot of great storylines comes from a 5 man on your team, like we had on ours at Saint X. Change it back and make this right!"
It was a direct response to a story and video published by the Golf Channel, which voiced strong opposition by calling KHSAA's decision a bizarre change and heavily criticizing the move in their segment Golf Central Morning Update.
Under the new format, the champion and runner-up of each region may only take four golfers to the state tournament. In previous years, the play-five-count-four method used at region was mirrored at state. The team's No. 5 golfer can still advance to the state championship as an individual qualifier if the score is low enough.
Outside of the four lowest rounds by golfers on the top two teams, the next four best scorers will qualify for state as an individual. While that number is unchanged for the girls, the boys only had three individual qualifiers in the past.
Local coaches had some mixed thoughts on all the changes approved by the Board, but they agreed that dropping the fifth golfer was the wrong move.
"I think the KHSAA took an opportunity away from a kid instead of providing one," said Apollo girls' coach Jarrod Carter.
Daviess County boys' coach Lars King said while he's in favor of trying to strengthen the field, there are better alternatives.
"It's one of those things that it's a negative by leaving that fifth kid out," King said. "There's a lot of other options other than penalizing the players. If they want a stronger field they need a different field."
KHSAA commissioner Julian Tackett said in Tuesday's release that pace of play has been a longstanding concern, but also said it could strengthen the competition pool.
Carter said he didn't think the new format necessarily accomplishes either goal.
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around the purpose for the change — better competition or faster play," he said. "I didn't see any changes that will affect the level of competition expected at the state level. The elite teams and individual players will still qualify for state."
Carter said pace of play was not a major issue anyway. Though he said many 18-hole tournaments do take a long time, the championships followed a quick pace.
"The rounds we have played there the past two years have been under 4½ hours," he said. "That's faster than most weekend golfers with carts. I've always taught you can play at a fast pace whether you are shooting 75 or 125."
King, though, had mixed thoughts on pace of play. While he thinks the days could be shortened, that extra hour isn't a huge deal. Still, cutting out a golfer isn't the solution.
"If you're playing or coaching you're not worried about how long its taking," he said. "Pace of play has to get better, but they can't do it at the expense of the kids.
Owensboro Catholic boys' coach Bretnea Turner was strongly opposed all around, saying the new format places more value on an individual score than a team result.
"It's restricting to those teams who have the ability, in good years with a good performance, to make it to state," she said. "It pushes the long-held idea that golf isn't a team sport and as a coach, I'm bothered by the notion that players will have the mentality that it's more important to play for themselves than their team if their team isn't the favorite in their region.
"Team sports teach kids so much about themselves and it gives them something to fight for when they face adversity. Individualizing the sport takes away from what high school sports are about."
Aside from the the drop from five to four, the Board also approved new alignments that created 12 unified regions for both boys and girls. Previously, the girls only had 11 regions, and some schools were in different regions for boys' and girls' competition.
With the new format and region changes, 144 total golfers will now qualify for the state tournament. Previously, it was 156 for boys and 154 for girls.
Another potential downside of only carrying four golfers to state will be the lack of flexibility. If one person gets disqualified, sick or injured once the tournament begins, the entire team would be ineligible to win. They could still place as individuals, but the fifth player would have been used as a replacement for the team in past years.
With several changes as different points of debate, King said the biggest issue is the Board didn't seem to care about input from anyone.
"I had heard they were making some changes but nothing had been finalized," he said after originally hearing about the changes Tuesday. "I guess they finalized it. We didn't get any input on it as far as our school or team is concerned."
Turner was also unpleased with the lack of communication.
"They asked for some input, but when the ideas first came out in the fall, every coach I know was protesting — emailing, calling, talking to each other about it — and there have been no changes and no recognition of coaches' concerns," she said. "Both the inattention to the concerns of coaches, who know our players and our region competition, and the changes to the schedule are extremely frustrating and it doesn't look like we have an opportunity to protest."
The air of uncertainty and lack of transparency around a KHSAA decision is not new. These golf changes come on the heels of last month's overhauled football playoff, and coaches generally felt blindsided by the announcement in January.
While the response to the new football format itself was mixed, coaches across the state expressed disappointment that they were not consulted beforehand or given advance notice.
Despite a month of coaches voicing concerns, the Board stuck with their decision regarding football playoffs.
On Thursday, Tackett told the Lexington Herald-Leader that he doesn't expect the golf concerns to be addressed anytime soon despite the outpour of negativity.
King is in favor of altering the postseason format and had his own ideas on how to improve quality, quantity and pace of play. While he supports the KHSAA efforts to address issues, he said they fell short and hopes they listen to the critics.
"The premise of what they were after is good," he said, "but the way they did it was not. They're trying to make something better but it didn't work."

Millions of people in the country currently have some type of alcohol abuse disorder. As of 2014, almost 87 percent of people ages 18 or older had an alcohol problem at some point in their life.
However, the fact remains that only a fraction of those people will ever seek help for their abuse or addiction. This even applies to severe cases of alcohol addiction. There is no level of abuse or addiction where an individual cannot benefit from alcohol detox treatment. Of course, there are many who could seek detox from alcohol, but are afraid of withdrawal symptoms, or are unsure of how long it will last or what it will entail. Many ask the following questions.
How long will it take to detox from my alcohol addiction? People should keep in mind that detox is simply the initial step to rid the body of harmful toxins. Detox can last from seven to 10 days, or from 30 to 90 days. It all depends on the severity of the patient's addiction, their health, and length of time addicted. It also depends on their desire and willingness to get well.
Other medical or behavioral issues will also affect how long an individual remains in detox or rehab. An effective treatment center will seek to uncover co-occurring conditions, mental or otherwise, and treat those while treating their addiction. The more thorough the treatment, the greater the likelihood a patient will experience long-term sobriety and escape relapse.
Detox, its length and depth, will also depend on the patient's mental, social, spiritual, and emotional needs. Detox can be trying for many, and extremely uncomfortable. Withdrawal symptoms can include sweating, vomiting, nausea, hallucinations, dehydration, loss of appetite, and more. Of course, specific withdrawal symptoms depend on the client's drug or illicit substance of choice.
Acute Withdrawal – When an individual suffers at this phase, expect tremors and seizures during their first 24 hours of withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms should peak after 72 hours.
Early Abstinence – During this period, anxiety and mood swings may manifest, but without painful or acute withdrawal symptoms. Clearly, the patient is making progress. Severe anxieties should disappear within a six period. Note that women may take a little longer than men on average to pass through this period.
Protracted Abstinence – This is the final phase and the patients sates of unrest, anxiety and unease may have abated. However, the patient still has to be careful to avoid triggers that might lead to relapse.
Long-term addiction definitely has a harmful effect on the body. The heart is at risk for a heart attack, strokes and high blood pressure are possible. The liver is often the hardest hit and cirrhosis is quite common. Alcohol can also weaken the addicted person's immune system and leave them open to all sorts of diseases that include cancer. Poor appetites rob the alcoholic of vital vitamins and nutrients. You might say the body is nutritionally compromised.
Detox should include a lot of vitamin B1 supplements along with boosts of iron. Patients respond well to broths and herbal tea treatments so as to maintain good hydration. Medications will also be prescribed that can help reduce alcohol cravings. Because of the dangers of harmful withdrawal symptoms, detox should never be attempted outside of a clinically safe facility.
The goal of the entire rehab program is to help patients to stay sober and prevent future relapses. It is doable, but the patient must have a strong mental foundation for success. Cognitive therapies can benefit patients tremendously by helping them make the connection between their thinking and behavior.

Google, Facebook CEOs signed off on allegedly illegal ad deal, lawsuit says
The antitrust lawsuit, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, was filed in 2020, with an unredacted version coming to light Friday.

The chief executives of Facebook and Google personally signed off on a deal that allegedly gave the social network an advantage in the search giant's online advertising auctions, according to a newly unredacted court filing.
New details about the agreement, reported Friday by The Wall Street Journal and Politico, come in an unredacted version of a multistate antitrust lawsuit led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that was originally filed in 2020. Some elements of the ad deal, codenamed Jedi Blue, had previously been reported by the Journal.

The newly unsealed court document, however, alleges that Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg were personally involved in approving the ad agreement, according to Politico. Since the lawsuit was filed, Facebook has rebranded its parent company as Meta. Meta isn't a defendant in the case.
The original lawsuit accused Alphabet-owned Google of harming competitors by engaging in "false, deceptive, or misleading acts" while operating its online ad exchange. It also alleged that Facebook illegally teamed up with the search giant, one of it biggest competitors in digital advertising.
Google spokesman Peter Schottenfels said the lawsuit lacks merit and contains inaccuracies. "We sign hundreds of agreements every year that don't require CEO approval, and this was no different," Schottenfels said in an email. He added that Facebook is one of more than 25 companies that participate in its ad bidding program.
Facebook also defended the agreement. In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for Meta said "these business relationships enable Meta to deliver more value to advertisers."
CNET hasn't been able to independently obtain the unredacted lawsuit. It doesn't yet appear to be available in Pacer, a database of federal lawsuits. The Texas attorney general's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Publishers react
In addition to the lawsuit filed by the Texas attorney general, Google and Facebook are also facing lawsuits from over 30 publishers across the country that print more than 200 newspapers. These companies allege that the tech giants have been unfairly manipulating the advertising market and siphoning away revenue, crippling their businesses.
The wave of litigation from publishers comes as the US Justice Department has also sued Google for allegedly violating antitrust laws, charging that the company has a monopoly in search and online advertising. Facebook is also facing action from the Federal Trade Commission over allegations the social media site maintained its dominance by acquiring or eliminating companies it sees as competitive threats.
The alleged involvement of Google's and Facebook's top executives in deals that publishers say have harmed their businesses is seen by some as further evidence that the companies have deliberately worked to put smaller publishers out of business.
"The unredacted complaint in the ad tech suit should put to rest the argument that Google wins just because its products are 'better,'" said David Chavern, president and CEO of the News Media Alliance, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit representing nearly 2,000 new organizations in the US. "Anti-competitive side deals and market manipulation don't count as innovation."

A Rungus fisherman in Kampung Loro Kecil, Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia.
The Momogun Rungus are an ethnic group of Borneo, residing primarily in northern Sabah in the area surrounding Kudat. A sub-group of the Kadazan-Dusun, they have a distinctive language, dress, architecture, customs, and oral literature.
As with most indigenous ethnic groups in Borneo, culture revolves around rice; however, coconut and banana groves provide cash income. Women weave cloth on backstrap looms, and make containers from vine or beadwork. Many Rungus now work in town, and have abandoned the communal life of the longhouse for modern Malaysian society. Traditionally animist, with female shamans, most Rungus are now Christian.
A large ceremonial bumbu ikan (fish trap) in a Rungus village in Kudat, Sabah in Borneo. A longhouse can be seen in the background, with distinct outward-sloped walls.
Considered one of the most traditional ethnic groups in Sabah, many Momogun Rungus live in longhouses, with each family having its own separate quarters off a common hall. At the edge of the communal hall, a well-ventilated platform of split bamboo with outward sloping walls provides a place for socialising and communal work. The Rungus longhouse is quite different from the Murut longhouse. The houses are not perched on high stilts, but are usually only three to five feet above ground. The roof is low, and the walls are outward sloped. In olden times, longhouses of over 75 doors are said to have been common. Now, they rarely exceed 10 doors. Usually single story, more modern two-story versions of the longhouse also exist. Single-family houses are sometimes built near the longhouse – these take the same form, but are curiously short, looking like a slice from a cake.
The traditional Rungus dress is black in colour, often with hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of antique beads. Traditionally all of the Rungus women wore heavy brass coils around their arms, legs and necks. Brass arm coils are often accompanied by white and coral shell bracelets. Rings of brass may also be worn around the waist.
This beadwork and its designs easily distinguish the Rungus from the other ethnic groups of Sabah. "The beadwork often tells a story and this one in particular tells of a man going spear-hunting for a riverine creature". The pinakol consists of a pair of flat beaded bandoleer-type belts worn crossed over the chest and back.
The sandang is a pair of long beaded strands, mostly with matching beads. These are worn crossed over the chest like the pinakol. The sullau is a flat beaded choker worn around the neck with two clamshell discs, one in front and one in back. Small bells are attached in the front. They make the discs out of plastic nowaday The tinggot is a short choker, either single beaded or with narrow beadwork. Men and women wear these. The togkul is a necklace some 26 inches (66 cm) long with beads similar to the sandang but smaller and worn around the neck. The sisingal is a narrow beaded band worn around the head. The rampai is made of cotton, flowers and beads worked into the hair. The orot. "Little brass rings and antique beads looped through thin strands of stripped bark (togung) becomes a wide and colorful hipband. To wear this the orot is slowly and carefully coiled around the hip. Then a last string of beads (Llobokon) is hung loosely from the coil. The orot is hand made by the Rungus men as the technique is known only to them".
The bobolizan originates with the Tuaran Lotud group of Sabah, but according to Rose Sabala sometimes Rungus wear bobolizan to talk to spirits in the old language.
There are also sad'ang, earrings that sometimes have beads attached.
Many of the beads used by the Rungus are plastic and glass imitations of older heirloom beads. Materials such as plastic spoons were heated over a flame and the hot plastic are then winded onto a metal rod to make yellow beads.
Three Rungus ladies selling home-produced products in Sikuati Town, Sabah, Malaysia.
Rungus cuisine is mainly prepared using cooking methods like braising, grilling and baking. Being a community of fishermen and farmers, the staple foods of the Rungus people usually consists of rice and cassava, supplemented with green vegetables and fish.
Tinunuvan soguntung is the Rungus term for a preparation of grilled or roasted eggplant. The cooked eggplant is peeled, and served with chillies, lime juice, toasted ikan bilis or salted fish, and sprigs of lompodos (a local variety of basil).
The Rungus also prepare simple sweet foods such as flatbread made from sweetened grated cassava (tinopis runti) and bintanok dalai, or mashed corn wrapped and steamed in corn husks. These are to be consumed for breakfast or as snacks.
Like the Kadazan-Dusun, Rungus people also celebrate Kaamatan. This festival is usually celebrated on 31 May every year. Even though there are many similarities the way of celebration between this two race but there is also comparison.

The Table of Organization provided for civilians, officers and enlisted men. The Survey operated from headquarters in London and established forward headquarters and regional headquarters in Germany immediately following the advance of the Allied armies.
It made a close examination and inspection of several hundred German plants, cities and areas, amassed volumes of statistical and documentary material, including top German government documents; and conducted interviews and interrogations of thousands of Germans, including virtually all of the surviving political and military leaders.
Germany was scoured for its war records, which were found sometimes, but rarely, in places where they ought to The absenteeism and its statistical significance been; sometimes in safe-deposit vaults, often in private houses, in barns, in caves; on one occasion, in a hen house and, on two occasions, in coffins.
Targets in Russian-held territory were not available to the Survey. Some two hundred detailed reports were made, including an Over-all Report, of which this is a summary. During the course of its work, the Survey rendered interim reports and submitted studies and suggestions in connection with the air operations against Japan.
Absenteeism - Wikipedia
While the European War was going on, it was necessary, in many cases, to follow closely behind the front; otherwise, vital records might have been irretrievably lost. Survey personnel suffered several casualties, including four killed.
The Survey is now studying the effects of the air attack on Japan. When that study is completed further reports will be submitted to the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy.
Air power in the last war was in its infancy. The new role of three-dimensional warfare was even then foreseen by a few farsighted men, but planes were insufficient in quality and quantity to permit much more than occasional brilliant assistance to the ground forces.
Air power in the European phase of this war reached a stage of full adolescence, a stage marked by rapid development in planes, armament, equipment, tactics and concepts of strategic employment, and by an extraordinary increase in the effort allocated to it by all the major contestants.
England devoted 40 to 50 percent of her war production to her air forces, Germany 40 percent, and the United States 35 percent. Nevertheless, at the end of hostilities in Europe, weapons, tactics and strategy were still in a state of rapid development.
Air power had not yet reached maturity and all conclusions drawn from experience in the European theatre must be considered subject to change.
No one should assume that because certain things were effective or not effective, the same would be true under other circumstances and other conditions. In the European war, Allied air power was called upon to play many roles -- partner with the Navy over the sea lanes; partner with the Army in ground battle; partner with both on the invasion beaches; reconnaissance photographer for all; mover of troops and critical supplies; and attacker of the enemy's vital strength far behind the battle line.
In the attack by Allied air power, almost 2, tons of bombs were dropped, more than 1, bomber sorties and 2, fighter sorties were flown. The number of combat planes reached a peak of some 28, and at the maximum 1, men were in combat commands. The number of men lost in air action was 79, Americans and 79, British.

I have a soft spot for Texas weddings, and when the bride and groom are fellow University of Texas alumni, I can't resist calling dibs on writing their wedding post! Brianna and Jim met at the Forty Acres, and after years of long-distance, they chose two very special venues in Brianna's hometown for their winter wedding. Their celebration was classic, lovely, stylish (especially Brianna's "Carrie Bradshaw-esque" dress!), and Southern–the focus on hospitality was undeniable, and I guarantee you that every SW gal is currently wishing we could've helped ourselves to their biscuit bar!
Thank you so much to Elisabeth Carol for sharing Brianna and Jim's lovely day with us!
I borrowed my Granny Pehl's wedding ring, just as my cousins before me have. I wore it on my right hand, and it was so special to have a piece of family history so close to me on the big day. My something old was my mother's ring bearer pillow with a piece of my Meme's lace sewn onto it. My something blue was my new monogram that we tied on my bouquet. I love how it pops in pictures, and it was fun getting to incorporate my new monogram into the wedding! My new was a pair of gold Manolo Blahnik pumps. To go with my Carrie Bradshaw-esque dress, I needed some dream shoes. I was under budget with my dress, so I was able to splurge on these beauties!
Tell us about finding your wedding dress. Two weekends after the engagement, my mom, sister, and I headed to San Antonio to shop! I was about to start nursing school and wasn't sure how much time I was going to have to get wedding items taken care of. I had always wanted to be married in Vera Wang and knew that her White collection at David's Bridal was going to help make that dream a reality. I tried on almost all of her gowns, and when I put the last one on, I just knew this was the dress that I was going to marry Jim in. The dress was a little classic, a little couture, and a little Carrie Bradshaw.
One of my fondest childhood memories is being a train bearer in my cousin's wedding, waiting in the entry with her before she walked down the aisle. She was nervous and excited, and there was an energy in the room that I will never forget. I knew that I wanted that moment with Jim. I wanted to see him for the first time when the church doors opened.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: There are so many! We enjoyed every moment and detail of our day. I will say that the "The Washecheks" sign that hung above the sweetheart table made my heart skip a beat every time that I looked at it. It was such a sweet reminder of the new family that Jim and I were starting, and my new last name!
When I first met with my florist, I told her that I wanted Southern elegance with a feel of the Texas Hill Country, and I think that she nailed it. We went with classic white blooms, greenery, and mixed metals, from mercury glass to julep cups. There were three different centerpieces for the guest tables and a gorgeous garland swag that framed the sweetheart table. For the bouquets, I knew that I wanted something timeless, and Sprout gave me just that. She mixed white ranunculus, peonies, and roses with small punctuations of greens. It was heavenly!
Jim and I chose to dance to "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. Throughout our relationship, this song would play on the radio in times that we needed a small reminder about our love and commitment, and it highlights the ideals that Jim and I have for our marriage. That night, the lyrics served as a promise to one another that no matter what, we won't give up on each other–our marriage will be for a lifetime.
What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? What was Southern about your wedding? Jim and I stressed the importance of Southern hospitality. My parents were amazing hosts and welcomed all of our friends and out-of-town guests with open arms, driving them around to see the sights, setting up tours of local attractions, and making dinner recommendations. We incorporated Southern spirits (Southern Comfort and Maker's Mark bourbon) and used mint julep cups for florals and bar accoutrement. We served shrimp and grits, fried quail and waffles, and a biscuit bar, among other Southern favorites, and we highlighted the importance of family tradition. Jim and I are both lucky to come from a background of strong, lifelong marriages, so we displayed pictures from our parents and grandparents' weddings, along with the date that they were married. 2014 was a special year, with my parents married 30 years and my grandparents 60 years, so it was important for us to celebrate that!
Tell us all about the proposal! It was Easter weekend during my senior year at UT. Jim had explained that he couldn't come to Fredericksburg (my hometown) for Easter and that he had a special gift for me instead. That Friday, my brother, mom, and I drove out to our family ranch to get extra chairs and tables for Easter. I saw my sister as we drove up to the ranch and was immediately confused that she was home from college and didn't go home first! I walked inside and found a beautiful Easter basket and flowers with a card that read "Bri." I immediately thought, "Oh! He sent a gift with Baleigh!" I opened the card and found out that my real surprise was waiting outside. As I walked down the steps, Jim walked up the hill toward me. Shocked, I froze, while Jim walked up, got on one knee, and asked me to be his wife! I had to ask him afterwards what he said exactly, because I was shocked, crying, and overwhelmed with joy.
What made you choose your ceremony and reception venues? Did they have any special significance to you? Jim and I were married in the church that I have attended my entire life. I was baptized there, went to school there, performed almost every part in the Christmas pageant (from baby Jesus to Mary) there, and attended Sunday mass regularly with my family. The reception was held at the Nimitz Naval History Museum. This museum meant the world to my late grandfather, Ollie, a former Navy sailor. He was on the board that commissioned the museum, was present at the opening ceremony, and is now honored on a plaque inside. Being from a small town, every place holds a memory and strong meaning. I love that I was able to honor my family and our history in the town of Fredericksburg during our wedding.
How did you plan for your marriage while planning your wedding? Jim and I were married in the Catholic Church, although Jim is not a Catholic. Throughout the process of preparing to be married in the Church, we had many opportunities to talk about our ideals, dreams, and hopes for our marriage. Our favorite prep activity was an engagement retreat that we went on. We spent the weekend focusing on laying the foundation for our marriage and making our relationship stronger. We left the weekend feeling strong in our relationship and confident in starting our marriage.
What was one way you saved money or cut costs at your wedding? We decided early on that the cakes that I dreamed of were not in our budget. Our baker actually made our wedding cakes out of styrofoam for display, and then had cut sheet cakes in every flavor that were served as we "cut" the cake! It was the perfect way to cut cost!
What's next for you as a couple? What are you most looking forward to about married life? Jim, Praline, and I are currently living in Fort Worth! We just moved into a new house, I just started a job as a neonatal intensive care nurse, and Jim is a senior engineer at a power marketing firm. We are looking forward to our life settling down, having visits from our family and friends, and going on frequent movie dates at our favorite theater!

that biscuit bar is a dream!
This wedding is just so awesome in so many ways! Love these, and those biscuits look divine!
The title of this post could not be more accurate – Chatham + Charlie's wedding is absolutely pure fun! I mean, y'all, the bride's barefoot-dancing her heart out on a checkerboard dance floor under brightly colored lanterns! Add in that clear top tent and we're now talking about a fun AND beautiful wedding!
Fun must be in C + C's jeans, because Chatham's pale blue dress choice was inspired by her granny's own nontraditional blue gown. Can you imagine how avant garde granny must have been wearing a light blue dress so long ago? A hair style is almost irrelevant after such a pretty gown, but I love that Chatham topped hers off with a simple ponytail.
Big thanks to Bethany & Dan Photography for sharing this bright splash of fun with us!
How did y'all meet? Tell us your love story. We met several weeks after I moved to Charlotte. A friend of mine invited me to a birthday party with the intention of setting me up with Charlie. It worked!
Tell us all about the proposal! We traveled to China and Thailand and he got down on one knee and showed me a picture of the ring on his cell phone! Welcome to the world of technology!
The first dress I saw, I knew it was the one! I had always admired my granny for getting married in a slightly blue dress – she was nontraditional like that sometimes. When I saw this gorgeous baby blue dress among all the white ones I thought, why not follow in her footsteps?!
A perfect pony tail + bare feet. That's my kind of girl!
We did write our own vows by taking inspiration from here and there. My favorite line is, "I vow to love you for who you are, and not for whom I would like you to be," because all too often people get married expecting perfection and lacking acceptance.
I love the idea of raising a flag with your new joint monogram! What a great symbol of your new adventure together.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Raising the flag together! It was a surprise for both of us and seemed to mark the rise of the occasion!
Describe your wedding flowers. Gorgeous! White and green everywhere and the bridesmaids' flowers were hot pink and orange and fabulously bright.
The cake was layered. One layer had lemon filling and the other layer had chocolate. We also had truffles on another table.
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: The location. It was in my parents' backyard and it was gorgeous! There is a picture of the wedding with all the guests sitting and the bright blue sky and a bird flying overhead — magical.
Did you decide to do a "first look"? Why or why not? Yes, we wanted our first look to be in private and to be able to spend a few peaceful moments together before the rush began.
Tell us about some of the songs you used throughout your wedding and why you chose them. We used Ave Maria, simply because it is beautiful.
Did you have something borrowed, something blue, and something new? Yes! A blue wedding dress, a fancy heart shaped diamond earring and a diamond necklace that belonged to my granny and great granny. The flowers in my hair certainly count as new and fresh!
What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? What was Southern about your wedding? The people and the kindness and politeness that comes along with the South.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? Burying a bottle of whiskey in the backyard in hopes that it would not rain. It was harder to dig that hole than we thought!
What is the one detail or vendor that you were so happy to have as a part of your wedding? Our wedding planner was awesome! He covered every last detail, set up the flower vendor, the food, the band, and the photo booth.
What advice do you have for folks currently planning a wedding? Get a wedding planner. Also, meditate or do something calm and relaxing the morning of the wedding. Every hour, stop, breathe and take in all the details because the day goes by VERY quickly and then it's done.
What's next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? Having a baby Ripple!
Oh my gosh, this is her parents' backyard? That's incredible! That dance floor might be my favorite detail–and from the look of these pictures, it sure seems like the guests loved it too!
You're so right – everything about this wedding is FUN! Coincidentally, this band (Big Swing & the Ballroom Blasters) just played at my sister's debutante ball in Richmond last Friday night, and they were AWESOME!


Summer is certainly the best time to hit the beach. If you are thinking where to keep your dog while you are enjoying at the beach, the good news is you won't have to leave him at home. You can let your dog soak his paws in the warm water or play with the beach ball while you take a relaxing sun bathe. There are few safety measures that you need to take while your dog is playing at the beach.
Be a little aware of the broken things lying here and there on the beach. A piece of broken bottle or hard pebbles might hurt the paws of your dog.
Some dogs love to swim, but the beach can be unpredictable. Large waves or undercurrents can be dangerous.
3.Safety vest: Make your dog wears a life vest.
If he gets pulled too far from shore the life vest will keep his head up during the rescue.
if he spends long hours under the sun, a dog's nose, ears and other areas covered by light or short hair may burn. Dog sunscreens are easily available at any pet store.
Dehydration is very common in dogs, under the heat of the sun, your dog will need lots of water. Don't forget to carry water and a bowl for the four legged members of your family.
Beaches are often new territory, unfamiliar to your dog. It's important not to let him get too far, but a leash might be too restricting. A good option is the long type of leash anchored in the ground by a large corkscrew.
You might get way too happy looking at your dog playing in the beach. Give him a good bath after you return home, as all the salt and sand can be irritating for your dog's skin.
With the right precautions, you and your dog can have a great time at the beach!
