Obituary for Susan M. (DeFonza) Koch | Devlin-Rosmos-Kepp F.H. & C. S.
Susan M. (DeFonza) Koch, most recently of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, died on Sunday, December 2, 2018. She was 80 years old.
Sue was born on December 17, 1937 in Plainfield, NJ, to Dominick A. and Philomena N. (Brunetti) DeFonza, who both immigrated to the United States from Italy in their teens. Dominick was a successful tailor and investor, and Philomena was a homemaker who attempted to corral Sue and her older brother, Lou. Sue attended both parochial and public schools and graduated from Plainfield High School in 1956. Dominick was a loving but forceful personality and she was crushed when he died, far too young, in 1963.
In 1958, Sue married Paul L. Koch, a high school friend, after his honorable discharge from the Marines. They initially settled in Plainfield, where their two children (Paul Jr. and Karen) were born. In 1969, they moved to central Pennsylvania, the land of Paul's people, where he spent many happy summers as a boy. Their first home in Unityville was the suite of many adventures, but was too remote for a woman from New York City suburbs. Soon after their move to a more cosmopolitan setting on Rabbittown Road, Pennsdale, Sue took a job as an administrative assistant in the Office of the District Magistrate. Working with cops must have suited her style, because after moving to New Hampshire in the early 1980s, Sue worked for the Portsmouth NH Police Department. Following her retirement, Sue first relocated to Little Egg Harbor, NJ, before settling in Phoenixville to be closer to her daughter and her family.
Sue was an outgoing person who made friends easily, but kept many for a long time and cared about them deeply. Her sense of humor, which she shared with her brother Lou, was wicked and frequently earthy. Upon the arrival of her first granddaughter, she rebranded herself as Grammy GoGo, but was most often just called GoGo. She loved to 'boogie' and well into her seventies was out late with invariably younger friends attending shows. After her husband's death in 1991, Sue ventured out in different ways, dating again, studying to be a paralegal, and serving as a mediator for troubled youth. In the 2004, she volunteered for the Kerry presidential campaign and she became a more outspoken and committed liberal as the years passed.
Sue loved and was loved by her family and friends. She is survived by her children, Paul Koch of Santa Cruz, CA, and Karen (Ron) Ferry of Phoenixville, PA, and two grandchildren, Emma and Lila Ferry. Also surviving are her sister-in-law Ethel Santaguida, her nephews Lou and Danny (Ramona) DeFonza and her nieces Betsy (Rick) Renna and Diane (Nick) DeMarco. In addition to her parents and husband, Sue is preceded in death by brother, Lou DeFonza, and nephew, Michael DeFonza. She will be missed by the many friends she touched around the country.
A celebration of Sue's life will be held in the new year.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.


You have waited for nine months, you are ready to meet your little one and so are we! We know that your newborn photos are so important to you, and preserving the precious moments is In our opinion sacred. To me, newborn photography is one of the most important kinds of photography we offer. And if we had to choose what our favorite thing to photograph is… it would be newborn photography. We have had 2 little newborns ourselves and truly understand how quickly this time goes by. We love being newborn photographer and are blessed to do what we do. You would be surprised to know that after just 2 weeks, you're tiny newborn will have grown and the many of their tiny features are quickly vanishing.
And on that note we would like to announce our new packages! We have designed several different sessions and packages so you can choose how you would like to capture these precious moments of your lives! Newborn sessions are set up right in your home! And we schedule your session between the ages of 3–14 days old. We are equipped with lighting that accents the tiniest of features on even a cloudy day! And the fun part, we bring all fun and unique props we will need with us!
To book your newborn session, you'll want to do that while you're still pregnant if possible. If you are running late, just give me a call and we'll schedule you as soon as we can! What we do is reserve a couple days for your 2 hour newborn session in my calendar the day that you send your deposit through. This ensures that we have flexibility around your due date. Newborn photo sessions are our priority and we want you to know that. Your session fee serves as a deposit and includes access to all of our specially chosen props, creative skill and time, and of course the individual time with just your newborn. The best time for a newborn nap falls around 10am and tends to be the best time a photo session, so we suggest scheduling just that. We will arrive about 15 minutes early to set up our lighting and baby props. The only thing you need to do is make sure your baby feeds 30 minutes prior to your session time.
Safety is a very important part of our sessions. There are a lot of poses out there that are not safe. We only do poses and props that are gentle and safe for your newborn. Newborn sessions are usually longer than regular sessions, this is because much of the time is designated to calming baby and keeping him or her warm between each pose.. We invite you to breastfeed or bottle feeding during the session to keep your newborn full and sleepy. As a practiced mom, you don't have to be nervous about breastfeeding around me or worry about your baby having an "accident" while you're there. It's part of the session and we don't mind at all. Your job is to sit back and let us take care of your baby for you!

Low Placement Fees For OFWs In This Country, Soon
One of the many problems encountered by overseas Filipino workers (OFW) prior to their deployment is the high placement fees collected by recruitment agencies aside from processing and medical fees and other expenses in securing various documents in applying for overseas jobs. For that reason, they are forced to sell their properties or to avail loans even on a high interest rate. But for the OFW caregivers who are applying for deployment to Israel, the placement fees will become lower as a new bilateral agreement is being forged between the two countries.
President Rodrigo Duterte is now on a four-day state visit to Israel and is set to forge a bilateral agreement during his visit. The OFWs who will be deployed in the holy land will no longer pay high placement fees when the labor agreement is signed.
Nathaniel Imperial, Philippine Ambassador to the State of Israel said that the agreement will ensure that the exploitative placement fees that are being charged to our workers would be substantially reduced, if not, eliminated.
Imperial in an interview with Radio Television Malacañang at the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel said, "It will be a government to government agreement. So private recruitment agencies will no longer be involved in the recruitment process."
Aside from the labor and business agreements, the Philippine Embassy has identified several areas of cooperation that will be pursued during the President's visit.
"One is in science and technology. Israel, as you know, is known as the start-up nation. It is known for its innovation and its very advanced software and technology. And this is something that we can learn from and that we can partner with Israel," he said.
Over the last few years, he said, the Philippines has broadened the areas of labor cooperation with Israel, which is home to 29,000 Filipino workers and residents.
"Around 24,000 of them are caregivers taking care of the elderly in Israel and disabled children. And so in a way, you can say that we are helping Israel cope with an aging population," he said.
Imperial also took pride in saying that labor conditions in Israel are some of the best in the Middle East.
"Workers here receive the highest minimum wage in all of the Middle East. And they have days off, they have the right to worship and practice their faith," he added. "And as you know this is the Holy Land. It's a special place for Filipino Christians and they're having a very good time here and enjoying their work even though it's a very difficult and demanding type of work, caregiving."
President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to meet with the Filipino community (Filcom) at Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem as a fulfillment of his promise but due to limited space, only around 1,400 OFWs will be able to meet him at the event.
The president supposed to come in May of last year. But he postponed his travel because of the Marawi incident.
It is the very first time, since the formal establishment of diplomatic ties 61 years ago, that an incumbent Philippine president visits Israel. Israelis and Filipinos enduring friendship actually started in the late 1930s according to Ambassador Imperial.
"In 2009, the Philippine embassy together with the Israeli government dedicated a monument in the city of Rishon Lezion called the Open Doors monument to commemorate the humanitarian assistance provided by the Philippines to Jewish refugees escaping the Holocaust in the late 1930s," he said.
It is former President Manuel Quezon allowed the entry of around 1,300 Jewish refugees and that monument has attracted a lot of attention from Israeli and Filipino tourists.

Jack has struggled a bit to settle in here. His background is not the worst for a shelter dog, not by a long way, but nonetheless he's had a traumatic time, and the transition to a new home is a big deal for any dog (or person, for that matter). Ten weeks in, and things are starting to find a routine, a new normality. We are starting to trust each other, and find some surprising benefits to our new life together.
One of Jack's biggest issues is with separation. He gets absolutely beside himself with fear when left alone, and as such we're on a very painstaking training program to build up his tolerance. We started at zero, as in he couldn't even cope if I left the room. Eight weeks later we're celebrating the remarkable victory of me standing outside the closed front door for five whole minutes. You have no idea how much work this small-sounding achievement has taken! Jack has his own Skype account so I can watch him on the webcam from outside and check he's doing alright. Sound nuts? It's pretty nuts. But it's helping him, and surprisingly, it's helping me too.
Because while we commit to this training program, for as long as it takes, he doesn't get left alone. So I am at home with him five days a week, and my life has assumed a kind of enforced simplicity. My time has taken shape around the routine of walking, feeding, playing, training, and inbetween those times I am creating. I am drawing, sewing, knitting, making, more than I have for many many months. And loving it.
I feel, at last, that I'm stepping out on the other side of Lighter Than My Shadow, and instead of feeling pressure and expectation, I feel curious, and excited to explore what might come next.

Two real talented dudes stepped into the Sway in the Morning ring for an epic battle of comedy rap. On side is Terrence J, from 106 & Park to E! News and the other side lies Affion Crocket who's come from Wild 'n Out to big screen movies with Kevin Hart and Marlon Wayans!
When the topic of rapping comes up both men hold nothing back with some of the best comedic bars we've heard in a long time. Once the dust settles we hear both guys speak on Hollywood life and how they've come to the point that they're at now in their careers and projects that they are currently working on.

A Probate Guardianship is a court proceeding in which a legal guardian is appointed by the probate court to protect the person or estate of a minor. A Probate Guardianship suspends (but does not end, as in adoption) parental legal rights. Probate Guardianship is granted by the court if the court finds that it is "necessary or convenient". Legally speaking, adoption is defined as the transfer of the parental rights of a child. Once an adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents are legally (and otherwise) the parents in every sense of the word.
Once a probate guardianship has been established for at least two years, the Probate Code authorizes the termination of parental rights if certain criteria are met. Probate Guardianship has long been an alternative to child protective services intervention for children whose parents are unavailable or unable to care for their children, or who fail to provide adequately for their children's essential needs.
The California Probate Code 1516.5 is the basis of terminating parental rights and to convert a guardianship into a adoption. Under the Probate Code the overarching element that a guardian must prove to terminate parental rights is that the adoption would be in the best interest of the child. This is a less stringent standard than is typically required under the family code. Due to this less stringent standard it has been subject to constitutional challenges.
In March 2009, the California Supreme Court resolved two cases challenging the constitutionality of the 2003-enacted parental rights termination scheme in Probate Code section 1516.5, subdivision (a)(2) which permits termination when a child has been in the physical custody of a guardian for two years.
If you have current guardianship over a minor there are numerous factors to consider when deciding whether to seek adoption of the minor. As you can imagine adoption is very emotionally charged for all involved and if it is necessary to terminate parental rights in order to proceed with the adoption this can and will cause even more stress.
The Courts and California Legislature has made it easier to seek adoption after a guardianship has been in place for more than two years. Despite the legal aspects of the process, adoption has to be focused on the needs of the child rather than the needs and desires of the adults involved.
If you have guardianship of a minor that has been in place for more than two years an you desire to adopt you should consult a local attorney. In closing, every child deserves a loving and supportive home and thank you to everyone that provides such.

It was a hectic time for human rights last week here in Paris because of the many initiatives to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed on 10 December 1948 in this very town, at Palais de Chaillot. And it was hectic here at UNESCO's HQ as well, which among many initiatives opened its doors to the last living witness of the Declaration's drafting group, lawyer Stéphane Hessel awarded with the UNESCO/Bilbao Prize.
But working myself in the "Freedom of Expression, Democracy and Peace Division", of course my focus was on the Declaration's Article 19, the right of every individual to "freely seek, receive and impart information through any media and regardless of frontiers". A perfect formulation by those wise drafters Mr Hessel was part of. And a forward-looking one if we think that the wording "through any media and regardless of frontiers" was conceived in the aftermath of WWII, but it is even more of appropriate nowadays in the age of the Internet. Let's repeat it once again: "freely seek, receive and impart information" - that is to say the essential prerequisite for two-way flow of information among public sphere's three sectors: the media, the civil society and the State.

Share the post "Natural Mosquito Repellents – Plants, Which Keep Insects Away"
In summer we all want to stay outdoors as long as possible, to enjoy the garden, to walk in the parks, to run in the forest, to travel, admiring fresh herbs and blooming flowers. However, even the most beautiful vacation or just a free time can be ruined by the annoying mosquitoes. Mosquito bites can ruin the mood of the forest walks, can interfere with your ability to enjoy a lake view and make you think about nothing else, but how to escape.
Of course the market today offers a large selection of different mosquito-repelling products: anti-mosquito creams, sprays, bracelets, fumigators, etc. But we don't always want to use them, because of their chemical components. Especially when it comes to protecting a child.
It is better to consider natural mosquito repellents. There are many plants, which scent repels mosquitoes. These plants can be planted in your garden, backyard, patio, or grown at the balcony.
Mint, melissa, basil, rosemary, leaves and flowers of wild cherry contain essential oils and have a strong scent that mosquitoes don't like. You can crush the leaves with your fingers and rub the juice on your skin. If you put bouquets of these plants in the room, they will clear it from mosquitoes.
Geranium or Pelargonium plants will not only decorate your house or garden but can also be an effective tool against mosquitoes.
Lavender is known as an excellent anti-moth herb, and this plant also helps to fight mosquitos. But, of course, you know, that its sweet scent attracts bees.
Chamomile. Persian, Caucasian or Dalmatian daisy (aka pyrethrum) is an old folk remedy against mosquitoes. Put a few bouquets of these flowers around the house to keep mosquitos away.
Even the scent of tomato leaves is bothering these annoying bloodsuckers. By growing tomatoes you are killing two birds with one stone: you get rid of mosquitoes and gather the harvest.
Garlic has not only healing properties but it also helps to get rid of the insects. Just eat one clove of garlic before going out.
1. Put 5 grams of cloves into a glass of water, boil the water with cloves for 15 minutes. Mix 10 drops of the liquid with 1 tbsp. of any cologne and apply this mixture on the exposed areas of the body. Now, for two hours you are protected from mosquitoes and gnats.
2. Take 2 tablespoons of clove buds. Add 50ml of boiling water. Let it sit for a while. You can apply this mixture on the exposed areas of the body. If you add any alcohol to the mixture, it will enhance the effect.
You can use anise seeds to prepare similar natural mosquito repellent mixtures.
3. Use clove essential oil. Apply just a couple of drops on the skin (it can be mixed with the vegetable oil 1:1).
Anise, clove, basil, eucalyptus essential oils can help to keep mosquitoes away.
1. Prepare the mixture: 5-10 drops of one type of oil per one cup of water, and apply on the exposed areas of the skin.
2. You can also sprinkle the mixture on the fire, fireplace, aroma lamp or just on the preheated pan.
3. Use several drops of the essential oils on the cotton balls and place them on the windowsill.
The smell of cedar oil repels not only mosquitoes but also flies and cockroaches.
The smell of fresh elder branches repels mosquitoes. But be careful, the sharp smell of elder can ruin your sleep, so it is better not to keep it in your bedroom at night.
In order to get rid of mosquitoes in the room, burn dry valerian or camphor over a candle or in a fireplace.
If you decide to sit outdoors, throw into the fire juniper branches, nettles, pine branches and cones, or sagebrush. The smoke smell will repel mosquitos.
Place a handful of chopped sagebrush roots into the pan and add 1,5 liters of water. Boil for 20-30 minutes. Wash your face, hands or legs with this decoction. Insects will not touch you.
In ancient times people used a decoction of the bluegrass roots to repel mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects.
Place a handful of chopped bluegrass roots into the pan and add 1,5 liters of water. Boil it up to 3 times, so that the water becomes light yellow. Wash your face, hands or legs with this decoction. Insects will not touch you.
Mix vanilla powder with baby cream in a ratio of 1:10, and apply to all exposed parts of the body. It is also possible to dissolve vanilla in water or alcohol (2 packs in 50ml), and then spray your skin with it.
There are many ways to relieve itching, redness and swelling from mosquito bites.
Fresh Tagetes, plantain, mint or parsley leaves juice can relieve itching and pain of the insect bites. Just make sure you wash the leaves of the herbs before using them.
Dandelion juice helps to reduce itching and pain from the insects bites as well. Read more on our questions and answers page: Which plants can help to reduce itching and pain from insects bites?
Please, NOTE: If you are allergic to any of the mentioned plants, don't use them!
Also REMEMBER, if the bites are accompanied by such alarming symptoms as severe swelling, a feeling of a "stone" and pain, severe itching and pustules, fever, you need to consult a doctor!
If you know any other recipes of the natural mosquito repellents, please share in the comments below.

Florian Schillinger (* 31. Januar 1985 in Freudenstadt) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Nordischer Kombinierer.

Werdegang
Sein internationales Debüt gab Schillinger Anfang Januar 2002 in Klingenthal im Rahmen des B-Weltcups. Nach Rang 38 im Sprint erreichte er mit der Mannschaft einen Tag später den neunten Platz. Im Gundersen Einzel lief er als 20. erstmals in die Punkteränge. Auch in Baiersbronn gelang ihm in einem der drei Wettbewerbe der Sprung in die Punkteränge.

Bei der folgenden Junioren-Weltmeisterschaft 2002 in Schonach im Schwarzwald sicherte er sich im Team-Massenstart mit seinen Mannschaftskollegen die Goldmedaille. Im Dezember gelang ihm bei den FIS-Wettbewerben in Klingenthal der Sieg. Im Januar 2003 startete Schillinger erneut im B-Weltcup. Dabei verpasste er aber auch weiterhin Top-Platzierungen.

Im Januar 2004 landete er im österreichischen Villach erstmals unter den besten zehn. Bei den Junioren-Weltmeisterschaften 2004 in Stryn gewann er mit der Mannschaft die Silbermedaille im Team-Massenstart.

Im August 2004 startete Schillinger erstmals beim Grand Prix der Nordischen Kombination. Dabei erreichte er in Kandersteg und auch in Oberstdorf die Punkteränge. Am 30. Dezember 2004 gab Schillinger schließlich nach weiteren Starts im B-Weltcup sein Debüt im Weltcup der Nordischen Kombination. Bereits im ersten Weltcup gelang ihm als 27. in Oberhof eine Punkteplatzierung. Auch bei den weiteren Weltcups bewies der Baiersbronner seine gute Form und landete regelmäßig in den Punkten. Sein bestes Ergebnis und zudem seinen ersten und einzigen Podestplatz landete er mit der Mannschaft mit Rang zwei beim Teamweltcup in Pragelato.

Bei den Nordischen Junioren-Skiweltmeisterschaften 2005 im finnischen Rovaniemi verpasste er im Gundersen-Einzel als Vierter nur knapp eine Medaille, sicherte sich aber mit der Mannschaft wenig später erneut Team-Gold. Im Sprint gewann er mit Silber seine erste und einzige Einzelmedaille bei Junioren-Weltmeisterschaften. Da er nach der Junioren-WM keine weiteren Weltcups mehr bestritt, belegte er am Ende Rang 44 der Gesamtweltcup-Wertung.

Beim Sommer-Grand-Prix 2005 erreichte Schillinger in Steinbach-Hallenberg eine gute Top-20-Platzierung im Sprint. Zur Saison 2005/06 gehörte er erneut zum A-Nationalkader, konnte aber an die Erfolge der Vorsaison nicht mehr anknüpfen und wechselte schließlich im Januar erneut zurück in den B-Kader. Beim Sommer-Grand-Prix 2006 sicherte er sich mit der Mannschaft als Zweiter in Berchtesgaden erneut einen Podestplatz. Im Dezember kam er daraufhin für einige Wettbewerbe zurück in den Weltcup, blieb aber dabei ohne Punkterfolg. Bis zu seinem vorläufigen Karriereende 2007 startete er mit mittelmäßigen Resultaten im B-Weltcup.

PGA of America to move 2022 PGA Championship from Trump National Bedminster
By Joel Beall
The PGA of America will no longer be holding the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. The association announced its decision to move the championship on Sunday night.
"The PGA of America Board of Directors voted tonight to exercise the right to terminate the agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster," said Jim Richerson, president of the PGA of America. "It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminister would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand and would put at risk the PGA's ability to deliver on many programs and sustain the longevity of our mission."
The decision comes after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 during a joint session of Congress to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. The assault left five people dead, including Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick. The event has led to growing calls for the PGA of America to distance itself from Trump, who owns the New Jersey course among a portfolio of golf properties.
In an interview with the Associated Press, PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh said his organization found itself "in a political situation not of our making."
"We're fiduciaries for our members, for the game, for our mission and for our brand. And how do we best protect that?" Waugh told the AP. "Our feeling was given the tragic events of Wednesday that we could no longer hold it at Bedminster. The damage could have been irreparable. The only real course of action was to leave."
The PGA of America awarded its flagship event to Trump Bedminster in May 2014, prior to Trump announcing his bid for the United States presidency. Three years later the course hosted the USGA's U.S. Women's Open in 2017, which Trump watched on-site. In a statement to ABC News, a spokesperson for the Trump Organization said the group was "extremely disappointed" with the PGA of America's decision and that the PGA of America is in "breach of a binding contract and they have no right to terminate the agreement."
"As an organization we have invested many, many millions of dollars in the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster," said a spokesperson for the Trump Organization. "We will continue to promote the game of golf on every level and remain focused on operating the finest golf courses anywhere in the world."
This is not the first time the PGA of America has moved a scheduled event at a Trump venue. The PGA of America and Trump mutually decided that the 2015 Grand Slam of Golf should not be held at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles following Trump's comments on Mexican immigrants at a presidental rally. The event was eventually canceled after being unable to find a host.
The PGA of America did not announce a new site for the 2022 PGA Championship, but sources tell Golf Digest that Southern Hills is one of the leading candidates. The Tulsa course, recently restored by Gil Hanse, has hosted four PGA Championships, and is scheduled to serve as the venue for the 2030 PGA Championship as well as the 2021 Senior PGA Championship.

Q: How to Union different tables from two different databases? I currently find myself stuck in a situation where I have to union different tables from two different databases. The other database served as an archive for records which are no longer accessed but still needed for reports. I am developing an interface where they could view historical reports. I am using MS SQL Server. Is it possible to do this?
Any help would be highly appreciated...

A: you need to use three part naming convention
ex:
database name:A
Schema name:dbo
table name test

You can refer like
select top  10* from a.dbo.test
Similarly to union two different tables in two different databases,you can do like below
select top  10* from a.dbo.test
union
select top  10* from b.dbo.test

if those databases are in different server ( say server1 and server 2),you need to create linked server and you can access like below
select top  10* from server1.a.dbo.test
union
select top  10* from server2.a.dbo.test

Joni has quite a powerful personality and is energetic, determined and independent. She is rather pleasant company because she is capable of showing warmth, conciliance, flexibility and adaptability when these qualities are necessary. The 3 can sometimes confer her an air of superficiality, vanity or even sophistication. Nevertheless, simulntaneously the 7 pushes her to develop her inner nature, hence her discretion and reserve. She no doubt needs to express these tendencies, and in this respect she is a highly complex creature who goes through phases of externalization where she seeks the company of other people followed by periods of introversion when she feels the need for retreat and reflection. She has a considerable capacity for work although her efforts can be inconsistent; similarly, her moods are susceptible to periods of highs and lows. She is quick witted and her powers of elocution are well-developed: she often uses humour when she feels embarassed which just adds to her sparkle. As a child, Joni may fluctuate between introversion and extraversion, alternately needing to communicate, confide and receive attention from a small crowd of admirers, then withdraw from the world to ponder important questions about her life and values... Both of these tendencies are necessary to her evolution, and the first will be better developed if she was born in January or March, or if she has a life Path Number of 1 or 3, while the second will be more emphasized if she was born in April or July, or if she has a life Path Number of 4 or 7. A nervous and often worried little girl, her parents should provide as much reassurance as possible by answering all of her questions frankly and honestly. The contrary would only serve to greatly increase her anxiety. Her creative streak should also be developed which would allow her to express her originality. Finally, in general she is a good student because she doesn´t deal with failure very well but she can also be proud and touchy - watch out for temper tantrums!
A cerebral sort, Joni is inclined to refection, meditation, speculations of the mind and is sometimes preoccupied by matters of a metaphysical nature. A lover of words and intellectual conversation she also likes to have fun and doesn´t necessarily reject material wealth with total disdain. Her individual aspirations lead her to explore the unusual, novel and fashionable. Her active number of 46 poses a few problems where her feelings are concerned - she is probably too demanding, authoritarian, fiercely independent or egocentric; however she often feels a vague sense of loneliness in the depths of her being and feels misunderstood most of the time.
The last comments about "Joni "
Money :It's time to start planning for the future Joni . Get your finances on an even keel.

Home News Local Color Run cancelled due to UFS protests
Color Run cancelled due to UFS protests
Colour Run cancelled
The Color Run South Africa had planned on hosting an event at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein Campus, on Saturday 27 February. Following protest action by students at the campus on Monday 22 February, the university management took a decision to close UFS Bloemfontein and South campuses on 24 and 25 February. Protest action has continued both on and off campus. On the heels of this decision, organisers of The Color Run have taken the drastic measure to cancel the event scheduled for this Saturday.
Leon Swanepoel, the national event organiser, has issued the following statement: "As an organisation, the safety of participants comes first – always and without exception. Secondly, The Color Run, worldwide, is about joy, inclusivity, and giving back to the community. Under the current volatile conditions it would be unwise to stage our event on campus and we feel obliged to cancel."
As an organisation, The Color Run, together with headline sponsor, Capitec Bank, works hard to uplift the local community. This is done by employing local vendors and suppliers for each event and raising money for schools in each area that hosts an event. The Bloemfontein event was set to raise funds for the University's "No Student Hungry" organisation. The Color Run has engaged extensively with management of the University of the Free State as well as campus security to determine whether there is a risk of further protests on campus, which may prove disruptive to the event. It does not seem likely that the situation will calm in the near future and it is for this reason that management and Sponsors of The Color Run have decided to cancel the event indefinitely.
Despite having already incurred significant costs, The Color Run has committed to refunding in full all tickets issued for this event.
"We hope to bring the happiest 5km on the planet to Bloemfontein at another time when the circumstances permit" said Swanepoel.

UN Commissioners hails new economic concept
in Business July 28, 2014
The United Nations (UN) has hailed efforts by the Omanhene of New Juaben Traditional Area, Daasebre Professor (Emeritus) Oti Boateng, to lead a dynamic development initiative by introducing a new theoretical and practical model to determine the basis for a new global economic development.
This was at the formal presentation of the concept paper dubbed the Root-Based Economic Development (r-BED) Model to Mr Kingston P. Rhodes, Chairman of the UN's International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) in Rome, where the Commission is holding its 79th Session.
A statement mailed to the GNA in Kumasi from the office of Omanhene said the presentation was part of moves to garner worldwide support.
Daasebre Oti-Boateng, himself a member of the ICSC, first introduced the initiative at the World Forum of Academics in Cambridge University, England, in August, 2010 and later that same year to the UN Secretary-General to influence a new global development order.
It said the initial presentation received the endorsement of high-profile institutions across the world as a bold attempt to register an African creative intellectual footprint in global development.
The expectation is that r-BED concept, which embodies multiple models and planning framework for implementation is going to attract major global attention upon its promotion.
According to the statement it would be piloted as Ghana's home-grown economic development model to incubate community-led, entrepreneurial lessons for Africa and the rest of the developing world.
The statement quoted Daasebre Oti Boateng as saying "there is a global consensus for change in the direction of development from the expert led economic growth paradigm in favour of a mass-oriented grassroots economic development regime, particularly in the African Region".
The r-BED model, he notes "is an African intellectual response to a critical global development need".
Mr Rhodes said he was personally impressed with Daasebre Oti-Boateng's industry and enthusiasm to make a global impression from the African perspective and urged the Commissioners to promote the new model as the new theme to introduce change in the existing growth-development order.
He pledged the support of the Commission and invited major stakeholders in Ghana to equally embrace it to make a statement for the rest of the world.
The President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Mr. Kanayo F. Nwanze, also welcomed the initiative at a reception hosted by IFAD at its headquarters in Rome.
He said in many respects the r-BED model would support the work of Fund, which invests in people and in the transformation of rural space.
Dr Evelyn Anita Stokes-Hayford, Ghana's Ambassador to Italy and permanent representative to Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), World Food Programme (WFP) and IFAD, also gave it her approval, saying at another reception hosted by the United States (US) Mission in Rome that, it has great potential for Africa and the developing world.
The r-BED model is a joint intellectual effort by Daasebre Oti-Boateng and Mr Nyaaba-Aweeba Azongo, a development expert.
The model is currently being promoted under a new institutional establishment called, Oti Boateng-Azongo Development Institute (OB-ADI).
It is a systemic integrated communal development model utilizing time-tested indigenous institutions of governance and internalized community support systems to build self-secured local economies. GNA

How does twitter decide what is trending?
Twitter trends algorithm identifies spikes in the popularity of a certain topic or hashtag, relative to its normal level. This takes in factors of both volume (the amount of tweets on the topic) and time (the amount of time it takes to generate that volume of tweets). Time is a very important factor, because a topic that slowly builds over the course of a month may be getting an astounding amount of tweets after 30 days, but because of the slow growth, no spike ever existed to get it trending.

Chancellor Philip Hammond sets out blueprint for fintech future
Tim Shipman, Political Editor
Sunday March 18 2018, 12.01am, The Sunday Times
Regional banks and building societies will be urged to adopt financial technology
A plan to instigate two giant infrastructure projects to boost Britain's financial technology sector will be unveiled by Philip Hammond this week.
The chancellor will launch a fintech strategy on Thursday at an international conference. He will say that the Financial Services Trade and Investment Board has been told to identify two areas where industry and government can work together to improve the country's prospects in the digital economy.
Hammond will also reveal details of a planned "fintech bridge" with Australia, which will establish closer links between governments, regulators and industries so it is easier for companies from one country to trade in the other's markets.
The new strategy comes after the government launched a fintech census in March last year to identify the sector's


You probably spend a vast majority of your time indoors, especially now that the weather has turned cold. For this reason, indoor air quality plays a big role on your health and comfort. There are many sources of pollution that can mar the quality of the air you breathe in your home, but one that has recently surfaced is automotive exhaust from vehicles parked in the garage.
When you start your car, even with the garage door wide open, higher concentrations of pollutants such as carbon dioxide can enter your home. Then, upon returning home in your car, turning off the vehicle, and closing the garage door, various chemicals are slowly emitted from the engine and its fluids as it cools down. Here's a quick guide to help you keep harmful vehicle-producing pollutants from entering your home.
Seal the garage ceiling and walls that are adjacent to the house. If the garage has drywall, remove it and seal the interior spaces. Replace the drywall and finish it with drywall compound and caulk all visible cracks and joints.
Install an exhaust vent. A bathroom fan is good enough for the job. When the fan is operating, it creates a negative pressure within the garage so air can't move from the garage to the slightly higher pressured home. The limited electrical cost needed to operate an efficient fan is quite worth the vast improvement this method can have on indoor air quality.
Take furnaces, water heaters and other mechanical systems out of the garage. Placement of these systems in the garage increases the likelihood that polluted air will be pulled from the garage into the house.
These tips are important to improve indoor air quality if you use your garage to store vehicles or other major chemicals. For more information about keeping indoor air quality at the level you want, please contact Paschal Heat, Air & Geothermalabout questions involving your northwest Arkansas home. Our knowledgeable technicians are happy to answer questions and offer their expert advice.
Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems). For more information about indoor air quality and other HVAC topics, download our free Home Comfort Resource guide.

How Were Instruments Made in Medieval Times?
Medieval Musical Instruments
There were usually three known categories of musical instruments in the Medieval Period – wind, string, and percussion.
Medieval instruments were used by the musicians of the period including the Waits, Minstrels or Troubadours.
Many of the Medieval musical instruments are ancestors to our modern musical instruments.
Bas Instruments and Haut Instruments
Bas referred to soft instruments (literally, "low," but referring to volume, not pitch) which were suitable for the chamber.
This type of instrument included the vielle, rebec and other bowed strings, the lute and other plucked strings and the recorders.
Haut referred to loud instruments (literally "high" but referring to volume, not to pitch) which were suitable for outdoors. This type of instrument included the shawm, sackbut, pipe and tabor.
Categories of Medieval Musical Instruments
There were many Medieval Musical Instruments that can be described as part of the following categories:
Woodwind Instruments – Musical instruments which were blown like trumpets or bagpipes
String Instruments – Musical instruments which were played with a bow or plucked
Percussion Instruments – various forms of drums and bells were used during the Medieval times
Types of String Musical Instruments
Stringed instruments today are a little different from the stringed musical instruments in the Middle Ages.
Some were clear precursors to more modern versions.
Others have been abandoned or relegated to strictly historical status due to their sometimes cumbersome natures and the amount of practice needed to become skilled players.
Stringed instruments included not only easily portable ones such as fiddles, but also largely stationary instruments, like the harpsichord.
There were many types of string Musical Instruments played during Medieval times including the instruments detailed in the following list:
List of medieval instruments
The Harp – The harp was a favorite instrument of the troubadours and minstrels and was about 30 inches in length
Lute – A plucked string instrument having a pear-shaped body, a usually bent neck, and a fretted fingerboard
The Fiddle – There were a variety of Medieval Fiddles which were played with a bow or plucked and usually held under the chin or in the crook of the arm. Easily portable and one of the most popular street musical instruments
The Rebec – The rebec was an instrument with a round pear-shaped body much like an early violin
The Psaltery – The Psaltery was a Medieval musical instrument which was a cross between a harp and a lyre
Chittarone – a lute which could reach 6 feet tall
Cittern – Similar to a modern guitar

The Clavichord – an early stringed instrument like a piano but with more delicate sound
Harpsichord – a harp-shaped instrument of music set horizontally on legs, like the grand piano
Spinet – The Spinet can be described as a keyed instrument of music resembling a harpsichord, but smaller
Types of Woodwind Musical Instruments
The simplest and most obvious example of a wind instrument is the flute.
While flutes have continued to become more elaborate over time in order to provide more consistent sounds and more variation in possible notes, today's flute bears a strong similarity to the flute of the Middle Ages.
Flutes produced a high-pitched sound, with notes changing based on finger placement on holes or keys.
The flute is unusual among instruments in the way it is held, sideways from the mouth rather than straight out or down.
Wandering minstrels often played the flute, as it was easy to carry and required little preparation to begin playing.
There were many types of Woodwind Musical Instruments played during Medieval times including the instruments detailed in the following list:
The Flute – Similar to our modern flutes. This type of Musical instruments played by flute-minstrels of the Middle Ages
The Trumpet – Long instrument made of metal, often in four parts – often associated with fanfares and pageants
The Pipe – The pipe was an extremely basic instrument usually having only three melody holes
The Shawm – The shawm was a reed instrument with vent holes
Recorder – The recorder was also an extremely basic instrument with melody holes
Flageolet – A small fipple flute with four finger holes and two thumb holes.
The Bagpipe – The Bagpipe was an ancient instrument, used by the poorest people and was made using a goat or sheep skin and a reed pipe

Hautboy – A slender double-reed woodwind instrument with a conical bore and a double-reed mouthpiece
English Horn – Despite its name it is not a horn – this instrument is more similar to an oboe
Cor Anglais – Another name commonly used for the Cor Anglais is the English Horn
Horns – Originally made of a horn (ox or a ram)
Bombard – The Bombard can be described as a large shawm
Oboe – evolved from the Shawm into the hautboy and then the oboe
Trombone- a long tube whose length can be varied by a U-shaped slide
Tuba – an ancient trumpet, the lowest brass woodwind instrument
Types of Percussion musical instruments
Percussion instruments create a sound not with strings or with the musician's breath, but by being struck.
Drums are perhaps the most obvious type of percussion instrument, both today and in the Middle Ages.
Drums were generally made from a hollowed-out trunk of tree or a metal or clay bowl.
Animal skin would be stretched across the top of the hollow area, and beating, hitting, or striking the skin would create a percussive sound used to keep tempo and add interest to musical pieces.
There were many types of Percussion Musical Instruments played during the Medieval times including the musical instruments detailed in the following list:
The Drum – Drums were made initially from a hollow tree trunk, clay or metal and covered by skins of water animals – also called tambours
Cymbals – Thin round concave metal plates
The Triangle – The triangle was a musical instrument introduced during the 14th century
The Tambourine – This musical instrument was traditionally used by a woman
The Tabor – a small drum used as an accompaniment to a pipe or fife, both being played by the same person.
Timbrel – This musical instrument was also referred to as a tambourine and dates back to antiquity
Bells – the use of Bells also dates back to antiquity

With my football season coming to an end, courtesy of the Welsh Cup final at Bangor City's ground, the very next day I returned to the nation . This time though it was a holiday that took me back into the country. Instead of radio equipment, ipad and a recording device, my car was loaded with rods, reels and rigs. Plus my wife and suitcase, of course.
Although I'm English by birth – and very proud of that, by the way – I'm also equally honoured to have Welsh heritage. Although dim and distant, it's still something that means a lot to me. That's why my involvement at the top end of the game with The New Saints is very special. Whether for work or leisure though, I just love being in Wales.
I was busy with my camcorder while away (four nights) and you can see the resultant videos below. Two fishing, one nature and two around Barmouth itself. Enjoy. I did!


The usefulness of selective inhibitors of type 4 phosphodiesterase (PDE4) in the treatment of inflammation and pulmonary diseases is limited by their side effects: nausea and vomiting. We studied the effect of three structurally diverse PDE4 inhibitors on the vagal nerve afferent and efferent fibers in anesthetized rats. The effects of RS14203, (R)-rolipram, and CT-2450 were evaluated on the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex (vagal afferent fibers) and in a model of vagal electrical stimulation (vagal efferent fibers). All three PDE4 inhibitors were administered at 1, 10, or 100 microg/kg (iv) 15 min prior to the induction of bradycardia by an iv injection of 2-methyl-5-HT (von Bezold-Jarisch reflex) or by vagal electrical stimulation. At 100 microg/kg, RS14203 significantly potentiated the 2-methyl-5-HT response. No statistically significant effects were observed with (R)-rolipram or CT-2450 at the doses studied. RS14203, (R)-rolipram, or CT-2450 (1-100 microg/kg iv) did not affect the bradycardia induced by vagal electrical stimulation. Consequently, our results show that RS14203 selectively facilitates serotoninergic neurotransmission in vagal afferent fibers. The emetic action of RS14203 may be mediated by this mechanism.


Are you the person God created you to be or are you living 'to please men'? According to this scripture, God's will is for us to please Him and be what He wants us to be.
When we choose to be the person God created us to be – unique and different than everybody else – we have to expect some criticism. But you won't like yourself very much if you go against your own convictions.
See, going along with the crowd, when you know in your heart that God's leading you a different way, is one reason people don't succeed at being themselves.
I want to encourage you to step out and be the person God made you to be. Don't let the way another person treats you or responds to you determine your worth. Have the courage to be different and deal with criticism.
Remember that God accepts you and loves you. He made you the way you are for a reason, and you have something special to offer.
Prayer Starter: God, I don't want to live trying to please men. I dare to be different. I want to win Your favor and be the person You made me to be.
-Joyce Meyer: promises for your every day life.

Alyssa Milano claimed Elon Musk purchased the social platform 'to destroy it'
Actress Alyssa Milano said during The View that she will stay on Twitter because she doesn't want to leave that field. Co-host Sunny Hostin asked Milano about Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and whether celebrities stay on the social media platform. We can't cede that territory. That's the kind of war I see in it," she said Co-host Whoopi Goldberg disagreed, saying she doesn't.
Goldberg claimed that the platform was not meant to be better if we are not representing our side of the political discourse so aren't we just saying you can push back Twitter Milano Goldberg responded and said that There is currently no way to regain control of the platform.
I would tell you to stay away from some things until you get the control you need, there is no way to control it right now. And so find those that you can get through and fix and then come back and do that race, the co-host said.
Goldberg declared toward the beginning of November that she would leave Twitter after Musk obtained the stage. Earlier in the segment Milano said about Musk when he was accused of sexual misconduct and paid this guy $250,000 I decided I was a hypocrite who bought that car so I couldn't stand it Could do that's why it happened.
I am so angry with all of these billionaires with few exceptions but especially Elon Musk like you buy Twitter for $40 billion to destroy, well, $40 billion Elon Musk imagine if he had donated that money For UNICEF, it would have changed the world.
Milano announced on Saturday that she got rid of her Tesla and bought a Volkswagen electric vehicle I gave my Tesla back Milano wrote on Twitter I bought a VW EV I love it I'm not sure on Twitter How can an advertiser's location be a publicly traded company? Aligning products with hate and white supremacy doesn't sound like a winning business model.

Alcohol addiction can be an awful condition for a number of reasons. Whether it be the strain on your finances and the struggles of holding down a job, the pressure it puts on your relationships and your reliability to the people you care about or the time you waste looking for that next drink.
Most importantly, however, what alcohol dependency does to your health is the scariest aspect. Alcoholism can cause you to suffer from an extreme liver disease which can lead to death. Alcohol addiction is a very real threat and should not be taken lightly.
So if you or someone you know suffers from this disease it is imperative to get help as soon as possible. This will cause a new set of problems however in the form of Alcohol Withdrawal.
This article will inform you of what alcohol withdrawal is, the mild and major symptoms of the affliction and how you can lessen these symptoms for a smoother ride to recovery.
Drinking alcohol heavily for weeks, months, or years, may have both mental and physical problems if the drinking is to stop or seriously decrease. This is called alcohol withdrawal. Symptoms can range from mild to serious.
Drinking only once in a while is unlikely to cause withdrawal symptoms when you stop. But if you've gone through alcohol withdrawal once, you're more likely to go through it again the next time you chose to stop drinking.
Alcohol has what doctors call a depressive effect on your system. It slows down brain function and changes the way your nerves send messages back and forth. This is what causes the sensation of being drunk.
Over time, your central nervous system adjusts to having alcohol around all the time. Your body works hard to keep your brain in a more awake state and to keep your nerves talking to one another allowing you to function as best you can.
When the alcohol level suddenly drops, your brain stays in this keyed up state and that's what causes withdrawal.
Mild symptoms usually show up as early as 6 hours after the last drink that was consumed.
This can cause feelings of anxiety, shaking hands, headache, nausea, vomiting, insomnia and sweating, all of these symptoms are minor nuisances individually but the effect they have all together can put such a strain on the body that anybody would struggle to function in everyday life.
These feelings may sound familiar to you if you have had a particularly heavy night of drinking. This is, of course, a hangover. A hangover is a minor case of alcohol withdrawal and it gives you a taste of what would be to come if an addiction to alcohol were to occur.
More serious problems, however, range from hallucinations about 12 to 24 hours after that last drink to seizures within the first 2 days after you stop. You can see, feel, or hear things that aren't there and this can be an incredibly difficult aspect to deal with as you are already in a vulnerable frame of mind.
Those who suffer more severely with withdrawal symptoms, normally due to an addiction to alcohol, are affected by delirium tremens, or DTs as you're likely to hear them called. DTs usually start 48 to 72 hours after you put down the glass. These are severe symptoms that include vivid hallucinations and delusions. Only about 5% of people with alcohol withdrawal experience these extreme symptoms.
Additionally, a person who suffers from serious symptoms will also suffer from a state of confusion, a rapidly racing heart, high blood pressure, a fever and incredibly heavy sweating. These symptoms can be incredibly distressing whilst confused and hallucinating. It is incredibly important that a person must not suffer these alone. If you are experiencing anything similar to this following a session of drinking, please contact your doctor and/or seek medical help as soon as possible.
Unless suffering from a serious health condition or having had serious withdrawals in the past, an individual suffering alcohol withdrawal probably won't need more than a supportive environment to help them through. This kind of environment should include a quiet place, soft lighting, limited social contact, a positive atmosphere, healthy foods and lots of fluid intakes. This ensures a calm, peaceful environment to get through this affliction.
If a rise in blood pressure, pulse, or body temperature is noticed, or if serious symptoms like seizures and hallucinations are apparent, a doctor could suggest inpatient care and drug treatment.
Common medications include benzodiazepines to help treat symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. Anti-seizure medications and antipsychotics, along with other drugs may also be required depending on the severity of the symptoms and depends on the individual.
If you find yourself in a situation where you become dependent on alcohol the best advice would be to seek medical help immediately.
Treating alcohol withdrawal is a short-term fix that doesn't help the core problem. When you talk to your doctor about symptom relief, it's a good idea to discuss treatment for alcohol abuse or dependence. The doctor can give you the advice to help you stop drinking.
Treating alcoholism can improve your life dramatically. Doing so will mean no longer will you be dependent on constantly finding a drink for yourself, allowing you to get into a better place financially. You will also find you are feeling much healthier and the risk of serious illness is reduced incredibly.
Quitting will give you more time with your family, more money to spend on what you may enjoy and the risk of death will no longer be hanging over your head.
It is not an easy task to quit, with withdrawal symptoms being one of the harder obstacles to overcome. Getting in contact with a healthcare professional can change your life today.

FRISCO - Luchi Gonzalez is a young head coach, but even he feels old at times walking through the FC Dallas locker room - the youngest in MLS in recent years.
With the teenagers and young 20-somethings at the helm of the stereo before and after training, Gonzalez told K&C Masterpiece on 105.3 The Fan Wednesday night that, like any father figure, he picks and chooses his moments to instill some musical wisdom on the kids.
"I will have moments where I'll subliminally sneak in my music into video [sessions]," he said laughing. "I'll get some 90s Pearl Jam in there for me too. I gotta read the group but I'm open to young music.
Gonzalez doesn't deny enjoying a catchy beat amidst the music the players and his kids alike shuffle between, but he just has one rule: keep it clean.

An interview with Feroz Ali Abbasi conducted May 31, 2011, in London, England, by Ronald J. Grele and Kanishk Tharoor for the Columbia Center for Oral History, Rule of Law Oral History Project.
Feroz Ali Abbasi's work at Cageprisoners focuses on providing legal support, advocacy, and consultation for victims of torture, rendition, and detention without due process around the world. Born in Uganda and a citizen of the United Kingdom, Mr. Abbasi converted to Islam at age eighteen and was in Afghanistan on a religious journey until he was captured by the U.S. military as he was attempting to escape the escalating violence in Kandahar following September 11. He was imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay from January 2002 until his transfer to Britain in 2005. Highlights of this interview include Mr. Abbasi's early life and conversion to Islam, his travels through Europe and the Middle East, his detention and interrogation experiences at Guantánamo Bay, his resettlement following his release, and his work at Cageprisoners.

This week we review Spidermeow, Dadfag, Omar Sosa & NRD Bigband, and the 808 Band with Robert Herrera.
Spidermeow, Spidermeow. Spidermeow makes weird, interesting, experimental music, with elements that are both folksy and psychedelic. The whole thing has a distinct late Sixties/early Seventies feel to it. Which is a compliment — the musicianship and composition are solid and the overall sound is nostalgic in a good way. Groove-heavy, with excellent vocals and moments of country twang, Spidermeow is a throwback to the golden age of the California music scene. (self-released)
At House of Shields (39 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco) on February 6. 8 p.m., $5
Dadfag, Scenic Abuse. Dadfag is more than a little reminiscent of Sonic Youth: discordant, deliberately weird, intended to discomfit. Scenic Abuse feels kind of like a time capsule from another era. With vocals that at times are downright disturbing, and occasionally creepy lyrics, it's not exactly easy listening but it is interesting. The occasional melodic similarity to 1960s girl-band tunes is an unexpected element. (Broken Rekids)
Omar Sosa & NRD Bigband, Ceremony. Smooth jazz blends with Latin and nu-jazz elements on this, Sosa's twelfth album in less than a decade — no question, he's prolific. The collaboration between pianist/composer Sosa, cellist/composer Jacques Morelenbaum and Hamburg's NDR Bigband is a fruitful one, yielding a sound that's rich, full and complex. There's some marvelous composition and arrangement going on here — it's an impressive piece of work. (Ota Records)
The 808 Band with Robert Herrera, Natural Selection. How did the eternally foggy Bay Area generate such a sunshiney band? Natural Selection is full of happy, laid-back reggae with hints of hip-hop and funk. Singer Robert Herrera has a lovely voice, and the album features some seriously sweet harmonies. Rhymes are dead-on, lyrics are sweet but not cloying. Natural Selection is an utterly charming album, perfect to perk you up on a dismal day. (self-released)

"The Bachelorette" alum Kaitlyn Bristowe has moved on from Shawn Booth, but how does he feel?
After they ended their engagement, Bristowe is now dating "Bachelorette" alum Jason Tartick, who has been appearing on her social media lately.
Booth weighed in on the romance on Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti's podcast "Almost Famous: In Depth," saying, "I think just with her moving on so quick, I just have a tough time understanding why she would be putting this out everywhere or blasting it all over the place knowing that it could hurt." Booth seems upset, emphasizing, "Not only were we engaged, but it's like, man, I lost my best friend, too." When asked the toughest part about the split, Shawn said, "It just feels like everything is just completely gone, like that Kaitlyn and Shawn [are] gone." Booth noted that social media is making it hard for him to move on from the relationship.
