Helaine is the first-ever woman to win the Premio Pietrasanta nel Mondo… a prestigious international sculpture prize. She divides her time between Cambridge and Pietrasanta, where she has a studio. The city of Pietrasanta gave her the honor of a solo exhibition in the Piazza del Duomo, the town's main square. It was a privilege and an honor for me to be a part of Helaine Blumenfeld's artistic process – it's been an unforgettable experience that challenged and stimulated me deeply.
You can see additional photos of the work in progress here.

This, now famous, title by the award-winning Times journalist, Caitlin Moran, chided me somewhat in its presumption when I first heard it. It appeared to be saying: "Do you want to be a woman? Yes? Well, then read this book, because if you don't read it, you can't become a woman." Yet, in a sense, I think it is not a case of presumption. If you are a young woman (or man) who still thinks that feminism consists of a bunch of 'man-hating lesbians', you need to read this book.
My first surprise on picking up a copy of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is that it is written by a man. For one reason or another, it seems automatic to assume that the 'relationship bible', described as the best selling book of the 1990s, is a mouthpiece for female psycho-babble. The kind of book Bridget Jones would buy and read, whilst sobbing into yet another pint of Ben & Jerry's. In fact, it is written by relationship counselor, John Gray Ph.D. (note: the pre-nominal letters after his name), whose masculine perspective not only altered my original perception of the book, but made me pick it up and actually read it.
"I have seldom heard a train go by and not wished I was on it", writes Paul Theroux in the opening of his travel book, The Great Railway Bazaar. This would initially seem strange to the modern 21st century passenger, in a time when train travel no longer holds the glamour it once did, of crisp tablecloths in dining cars and white-gloved stewards. Today, associations with delays, crowds and the smell of egg sandwiches spring to mind. For Theroux, however, writing in the early 1970s, the world was a different place. An era when distant lands still held the mystery of exotic adventures, undiscovered cities, untrammeled by rampant tourism.

Cadence's Rockin' Concert!
By Michelle Lao
I know it's been a while since my last post (see Jaykob's Native American Party). Things have been quite a whirlwind in the past few weeks, when the pre-school of my daughter, ICBB, asked for some help in styling their Moving Up Day (their version of graduation day). While it was a bit last-minute and entailed loads of details (not to mention last minute preparations!), the Party Magic team pulled out all the stops and made things happen. Great job as always! I will be posting some very cute photos soon!
I just got off from a party set-up and feeling very inspired to post some photos! I'm talking about Cadence's Rock Star Party, and it is the most awesome party we've made yet. It was held at the Greenhills West Clubhouse, which I think is one of the nicest venues to style.
Take a look at the overall aesthetic to see what I mean:
I think what gave this party the extra special touch is the inclusion of the color silver in the color motif. The silver gives the whole event a "harder" overall look which blends in well with the Rock theme as well as the fact that Cadence is celebrating her 7th birthday! Perfect combination of dainty and edgy.
Again, great job by Party Magic on the ceiling treatment. The stars in the center are breathtaking. The perfect allusion to being a "rock star", too!
I also absolutely love how the stage setup turned out:
The design was inspired by a sort of mixture between rock and disco elements all under a fuchsia and purple color theme, with just a small amount of black coloring dashed in. The setup shows a kind of concert stage where a rock band would play, complete with drums, keyboards, guitar, and microphone!
Interestingly, "Cadence" is a musical concept which ties perfectly into the Rock Star theme. Did anybody else get the connection? I just love how everything is tied in to the theme in this party!
The central graphic (that printed graphic in the center of the background, in the signage area) was inspired by my adolescent years wasted on games such as Dance Dance Revolution and later on its iOS counterpart, Tap Tap Revenge (those were the days!). This is bordered by the silhouette of a female vocalist belting out the songs of perhaps Janis Joplin or for the kids out there, Lady Gaga!
Here are some more close-ups:
Speaking of Lady Gaga, the sounds supplier did an amazing job with song choice. Imagine yourself walking into this scene with Lady Gaga's The Edge of Glory blasting out of the speakers:
I was trying very hard not to do some head banging myself.
I think that the central signage here plays a major role in creating the proper visual impression to the guests. This is the signage that is typically shown outside auditoriums or concert halls.
Okay, speaking of rocking it on to the tune of Lady Gaga, Chef Nikki of Simply Paris got into the mood and did some head banging herself! The decor and mood was simply contagious!
By the way, that's the photo-op set-up there at her back. Here are some for photos of the photo-op, this time without Chef Nikki:
This set-up reminded me and my husband of The Voice. When you're standing there on the platform, you can't help but feel your auditioning and praying for those chairs to turn!
The dessert table was equally lovely. It is consistent and ties in all the major concepts of the theme. The huge star is also present!
Sweet setup there by Chef Nikki! If you any pastries done for an event, drop her a message in here Facebook page.
The happiest of birthdays to the awesome Cadence. Rock on!
'Til the next party,
Michelle Lao
HI, beautiful party. Where did you find the backdrop scene setter with the silhouettes on them?
ces trabajo says:
Hi. I'm planning a rock party for my daughter who is turning 18 this coming September.
She likes live band, color black, purple & blue. Likes to play a ukulele and sing. She's also an athlete. And a theater club member of their school.
May I request for a proposal or quote?

Greece's PM Snaps at Dutch Journalist Over Migrant Pushbacks

Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis snapped at a Dutch journalist who openly accused him of "lying" about alleged migrant pushbacks during a press conference in Athens on Tuesday.
Standing next to visiting Dutch leader Mark Rutte, Mitsotakis was visibly angered by a question from Ingeborg Beugel, a reporter identifying herself as a journalist from Dutch media. Beugel asked:
"PM Mitsotakis, when at last will you stop lying about pushbacks, lying about what's happening with refugees in Greece. Please do not insult me and the intelligence of all journalists all over the world. There has been overwhelming evidence and you keep denying and lying. This is like narcissistic abuse. Why are you not honest? (about migrant pushbacks)"
Mitsotakis fired back at the journalist, accusing her of insulting not just himself but the Greek people as well:
"What I won't accept is that in this office you will insult me or the Greek people with accusations and expressions that aren't supported by material facts when this country has been dealing with a migration crisis of unrepresented intensity that has been saving hundreds if not thousands of people at sea," Mitsotakis stated.
Greek forces are out rescuing people at sea "every single day," he said. "Yes, we are intercepting boats that come from Turkey as we have the right to do in accordance with European regulation and waiting for the Turkish Coast Guard to come and pick them up to return them to Turkey."
He continued: "Rather than putting the blame on Greece you should put the blame on those who have been instrumentalizing migration systematically, pushing people in a desperate situation from a safe country, because I need to remind you that people who are in Turkey are not in danger," Mitsotakis said. "We have a tough but fair policy in migration."
He finished his statement by saying "I won't accept anyone pointing the finger to this government and accusing it of inhumane behavior."
Watch the tense exchange in the video below:
Greece denies migrant pushbacks
In October, the EU executive called for an investigation into alleged migrant pushbacks by Greece, which Athens flatly denies.
The announcement followed reports in the German media outlets Der Spiegel and ARD, according to which some of these operations reportedly turned violent as Greek special forces sometimes concealed their identities when pushing migrants back into the Aegean Sea.
"Some of these reports are shocking," said EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson, adding she expects a thorough investigation into these incidents.
"These reports need to be investigated," she said and added that there seem to be indications of orchestrated violence in Europe's external borders.
Greece denied the allegations. In a statement, Minister for Migration and Asylum Notis Mitarachi said that Athens operates within the parameters of international and European law.
"We strongly deny these allegations. Greek borders are EU borders and we operate within international and European law to protect them. Illegal sea crossings are highly dangerous and they should be prevented in accordance with the 2016 Joint Statement, which the EU needs to ensure is properly enforced. Europe remains the target of criminal gangs who are exploiting people who wish to enter the EU illegally. We make no apology for our continued focus on breaking up these human trafficking operations, and protecting Europe's border," Mitarachi said.

Hi, can I use kaffir lime leaves in place of peel? How many can I add?
yes u can. Just add one.


Elder statesmen from Northern Nigeria, under the umbrella of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), have lamented the "irresponsibility of governance" in the country.
His words: "There is serious irresponsibility of governance in the country, especially in the North; the leadership is not doing enough to meet up the challenges of poverty and under-development.
He continued: "It has become imperative for the forum to call President Muhammadu Buhari to respond to threats faced by northern Nigerians, following incessant killing s in the some states.
"It is ironical to expect any significant achievement in the nation's security under this kind of attitude in a country with more than 200 million."

A two day workshop on Labour Migration Policy and one day training was organized by the Sudan Ministry of Labour and Administrative Reforms in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and generous funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
The objective of the workshop was to assist the Ministry of Labour and Administrative Reforms as well as other relevant government and non-government stakeholders to identify and address the gaps in Sudan's Labour Migration Policy. The workshop resulted in 37 recommendations that will support the Ministry in conducting a wider assessment of the Labour Migration Policy for Sudanese migrants overseas and foreign migrants in Sudan as well as to formulate and adopt a comprehensive policy that ensures the protection of migrants in and outside Sudan and helps the government of Sudan to manage migration.
The workshop was facilitated by IOM's Regional Labour Mobility and Human Development Specialist, Roberto Cancel. In the third day of the workshop, a training on Practices for Promoting Safe and Regular Migration was conducted for representatives of recruitment agencies and members of the Ministry of Labour to discuss recruitment malpractices and concepts of ethical recruitments and institutional frameworks.

And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land that I will shew thee.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, towards the south.
to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.
And Lot also who went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents.
And the land could not support them, that they might dwell together, for their property was great; and they could not dwell together.
And Abram said to Lot, I pray thee let there be no contention between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we are brethren.
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if to the left, then I will take the right; and if to the right, then I will take the left.
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan that it was thoroughly watered, before Jehovah had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; as the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as one goes to Zoar.
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan; and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched tents as far as Sodom.
And the people of Sodom were wicked, and great sinners before Jehovah.
for all the land that thou seest will I give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Arise, walk through the land according to the length of it and according to the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.
Then Abram moved [his] tents, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And he built there an altar to Jehovah.
[that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar -- four kings with the five.
And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High �God.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High �God, possessor of heavens and earth.
And blessed be the Most High �God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.
And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.
And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir.
And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be!
And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.
And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it.
And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?
And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide.
And he said to Abram, Know assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.
And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

Decoding parathas
Restaurant and Bar Reviews
Homegrown Brands We Love
India Modern
Gourmet Market
A paradise called Kashmir
Trippin' on Goa
Seasons With TD
Food And Drink, Features
by Madhulika Dash
Understanding the reasons why our grandparents and parents considered parathas a satiating and wholesome meal.
There is something infinitely alluring about parathas. They are delicious, versatile and have this brilliant, often inexplicable, ability to adapt to new trends and adopt influences. Which is probably the reason why this predominantly North India-born innovation has had such success conquering palates (and dining space) not only in the wheat growing states of India—according to Nijjar's book Panjāb under the Sultāns (1000-1526 A.D.), parathas were commonly consumed by the nobility and aristocracy not just in erstwhile Punjab, but elsewhere in the country too.
One of the common ways of enriching parathas is to use fresh produce, lentils, and even leftovers as filling.
What is about this flatbread that makes it so unique and appealing? The immediate answer to this is the flavour composition, says Chef Vineet Manocha (SVP-Culinary, Lite Bite Foods). "Even the basic paratha dough is not just made of whole wheat flour and water. It gets fortified with salt and ajwain (carom seeds) and then, is finished with ghee. The paratha making process doesn't just break down the sugar and complex carbohydrates into energy but also, the use of spices ensures that it takes care of the digestive system by giving it a boost."
And given that parathas are usually paired with chutney, sabzi or even dahi, adds Chef Manocha, "It results in a balanced meal that is satiating, palate- and health-wise."
Concurs Chef Harangad Singh (Chefpreneur, Parat), whose exploration of the traditional world of paratha-making has helped him understand the "curative" nature of these flatbreads. "One of the most fascinating aspects of parathas," says Chef Singh, "is their rustic composition. Parathas were never meant to be the soft, melt-in-the-mouth fare that we see today. These thick, textured breads were meant to be had on their own or with pickles and still satiate one like a proper meal. In fact, back in the day, when making the dough for parathas, the considerations were not just the seasonal vegetable available but the necessity it would serve."
Culinary researcher and seasoned chef, Balpreet Singh Chadha, says, "Every step of paratha making, which were initially made in tandoors, was treated to gain the maximum health mileage. This included the treatment of the dough, which was cooled by keeping it covered in a thin layer of water. Aside from keeping the dough from spoiling, it also made it lighter on the palate. This process enhanced the elasticity of the paratha dough and eventually helped create other beloved formats, such as parathas with fillings of aloo, mooli and gobhi."
Fascinatingly, adds Chef Singh, "It was parathas' interesting composition that worked in favour of the flatbread, which was soon seen as a dish that could be had by itself, thanks to the layer of clarified butter that was smeared on top. This kept the paratha moist and made it easier to chew than the thick rotis of the time."
Curd is a popular accompaniment, along with various chutneys. These not only up the nutritional value of the meal but also aid the digestive process.
This encouraged further fortification of the paratha dough, which, in time, became the canvas for many experiments. These experiments ranged from using fillings of fresh produce, be it leafy greens (bathua, methi) or gourds, especially bottle, roots such as carrot and radish, to even taking on different flours. The addition of makai and jowar atta, along with spices and flavourants such as onions, chillies, bhaang and poppy seeds, according to Chef Singh, is a standard practice in Punjab. Lentils (dal ka paratha) were also used as filling. Eventually, parathas even became a vehicle of repurposing leftover food.
Says nutritional therapist Shveta Bhasin, "This array of experiments with the dough and the filling didn't just turn the flatbread into this amazingly versatile meal that could be had on its own or with pickles, chutney or dahi (all great forms of probiotics), but also cranked up its nutritive quotient. Think about it, a basic ajwain and salt-seasoned whole wheat flour paratha dough already has dietary fibre, vitamins B1 and B9, and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Now, add buckwheat to it and you up the protein value. The roughage ensures that the dough retains a lot of water, is still made reasonably thick and needs chewing, which in turn revs up digestive juices and boosts the digestive process. And given that parathas are mostly made in tandoors or on a griddle before being basted with clarified butter, it is high on linoleic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which together help brain function, aside from aiding the digestive process by creating a feel-good palate feel."
"The outcome," continues Bhasin, "is this sense of satiation and fullness that often comes from having a heavy full meal. That is just one part of the paratha story. How the flatbread is fortified also impacts the process of digestion. So, if the dough has sattu added to it, along with a filling of mixed vegetables, the body would first extract its fuel from the sugar and carbohydrates in the wheat flour and vegetables, whose nutritive components are broken down during the paratha-making process. After that, it would reach for the protein part, thus allowing for a constant supply of energy. A facet that we often define as feeling full and satiated."
"This multi-level extraction explains why parathas, even today, are considered to be a better meal-on-the-go option than perhaps a full thali by our parents (and their parents), who knew the art of layering not just for taste but wellness too," says Chef Manocha, who, like Chef Singh, has not only introduced his own special flour mix but also resorted to the traditional method of making parathas in the tandoor and then basting them with ghee and serving them with a chutney, pickle or fresh dahi.
Parathas, the amazing Indian flatbread, remain among the finest examples of how healthy food can be layered for taste and the waist too.

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Doooooooooo!!!!! Hey everyone! We have had the awesome experience of reviewing Easy Piano Basics by JazzEdge! Easy Piano Basics, taught by Willie Myette, is a lifetime membership based site where you can download and stream videos that teach you the basics of how to play the piano. You can also print off sheet music for practice. It is tailored to suit those who have no background in piano, and perfect for students who are quite young (I'd say 6 or 7 with a parent's help) to adult.
The program consists of 32 short videos, streamed online, that teach the basic foundations of piano technique. The program recommends practicing 10 minutes a day for 5 days a week, but you can always practice more. After all, practice makes perfect!
Mr. B has been wanting to take piano lessons for quite some time. The problem is his flavor of autism doesn't lend itself to committed lessons, and we don't have a piano in the home for an instructor to come here. On top of that, the financial strain private lessons would bring is just not something I can do right now. So when we had the chance to review Easy Piano Basics, I was pretty excited. Since neither of us have every taken a piano lesson, I really have no measuring stick in that sense. So please keep that in mind through this review.
Easy Piano Basics is a really nice online program to learn exactly what it says, piano basics. It seems to me as if it is foundation material that anyone would need to learn before progressing on to a more advanced program (also offered by JazzEdge.) You're first lesson starts with the basics of learning which keys are which, and each lessons builds upon the ones before it. The nice thing is you are able to replay the videos as many times as you need. The downside, you are repeating the same video over and over. Of course the material is built upon, so it's reviewed elsewhere....but not the same as the first lesson.
This format is nice so that you can have your lesson anywhere you have an internet connection. You just need a 61 key keyboard, no need for a full piano, and it's a one time fee. The lessons are really short. The videos aren't very long, only a couple of minutes each. And each lesson instructs you on what to practice each week. This is good if you don't have a lot of time, or you have a lot of other obligations and are unable to devote a lot of time, or add another obligation to your already busy schedule. This was good for us since Mr. B needs a lot of repetition and I was able to extend the lessons beyond a week if needed (and it was always needed.) Most of the time we would watch the video and keep practicing for much longer than 1 week. Lesson one, for example, was nearly 3 weeks for us. We are still working on our finger numbers.
The downside ( a matter of perspective) though, is that there's not a lot of practice, unless your student is disciplined or you are. A 3 minute video isn't a long duration. And 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, isn't really much time. I was always under the impression most piano lessons were at least an hour with daily practice on top of that. I wish there were more videos for each lesson, with more practice involved. With that said, the videos are awesome because you get a very nice visual of the keyboard so you can SEE where your hands should be. You can also hear him talking, hear him playing, and see him in the corner of the video. So that is really good.
The GREAT thing about Easy Piano Basics is that your payment is a lifetime membership. So if you have more than one child, or you wish to use it yourself, you can easily log back in and start anywhere you wish, anytime you want. If you have a more advanced student, but you need a little refresher, then this is a cost efficient and fantastic tool to use for that. With a little patience, and a tolerance for repetition, this is suitable for special needs. But you may have to repeat the same videos more than a couple of times to get the concept down. Overall: For us, this just wasn't a good fit for Mr. B, but I rather enjoyed it. BUT our special needs played a huge role in that. Also, I could have been more structured and set aside a specific practice time each day, instead of working it in at different times. Now that summer is upon us, I think we will start back from the beginning again and dedicate more time each day and see if Mr. B does better. I have learned a lot, and the refresher from the music reading standpoint was nice. The sheet music is easy, and you learn to read music as you progress through the videos and the music. I would love to see a special needs minded program along the same lines, but I don't know enough about piano basics to even suggest a starting point there. Longer videos or more videos dedicated to the same topic, more practice broken down into smaller parts, perhaps. That would be fantastic and beneficial on a number of levels. Another suggestion I have is to integrate all of the programs into a single website. I always bookmark any online program sites, but if I'm not on my laptop I can't access those bookmarks. JazzEdge has various products, and each has a different and unique web address that can't be accessed via JazzEdge easily. So I think a GREAT upgrade would be a user friendly website where one could easily access any of these great programs from the same webpage. That way, scatter brains like me aren't lost.

Maria Sharapova shows off athletic physique
in Tennis
She's seeded as the second-best female tennis player in the world.But Maria Sharapova proved she is most certainly top of the rankings when it comes to racy shoots as she positively sizzled on the cover of Esquire Mexico.
Showing off her incredible athletic figure, the 26-year-old sportswoman stripped off to just a nude bodysuit for the May edition of the magazine.Smouldering as she gazed into the camera, the Russian beauty showcased her tanned and toned limbs in the skimpy plunging garment.Opting for minimal make-up to show off her naturally flawless skin, the tennis champion wore her honey blonde locks tumbling loosely around her shoulders as she posed up a storm on the magazine's cover.
Sharapova has enjoyed a series of successes of late after successfully defending her WTA Porsche Grand Prix title after beating Li Na 6-4, 6-3 in the final in Stuttgart, Germany late last month.'I thought it'd be the toughest match of the tournament, but I played my best tennis today,' she said. 'I was able to step it up.'But while the tennis star has enjoyed personal success in recent months, her personal life took a turn for the worse last spring when she called off her engagement to basketball player Sasha Vujacic.
Speaking in September 2012, she said: 'It was obviously a challenging decision, you know, from both of our ends.We have a tremendous amount of respect for each other. I still would love to call him a friend. We spent really great years together.'And it would appear the blonde beauty could be looking for an athletic partner in the future, with Sharapova previously admitting she and her former fiance had a mutual understanding because of their love of their respective sports.She said: 'It's a different sport because it's a team sport. But at the end of the day, you know, we're still athletes. We still have to put that amount of work in. There is that level of understanding of what it takes.' – DailyMail

On the Sultan's Service
Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil's Memoir of the Ottoman Palace, 1909–1912
Translated by Douglas Scott Brookes
This title is not yet available. You may pre-order this item and it will be shipped to you when it is available.
"When at last we were approaching the Harem, the Sultan, surely quite alarmed, said to me in a low voice (was that so the eunuch walking in front of us wouldn't hear, or because in this lonely and dark passageway he was frightened of his own voice?), Ne olacak? 'What is to become of things?'"
Translated into English for the first time, this memoir provides fascinating first-hand insight into the personalities, intrigues, and inner workings of the Ottoman palace in its final decades. Written by Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil, who was First Secretary to Sultan Mehmed V and would go on to be one of Turkey's most famous novelists, On the Sultan's Service makes available to English readers the remarkable account of life and work in the Ottoman palace chancery—the public, "business" side of the palace—in its final incarnation. We learn of the court's new role under this second-to-last Sultan in post-Revolution Turkey. No longer exercising political power, the palace negotiated the minefields between political factions, sought ways to unite the empire in the face of sharpening nationalist aspirations, and faced with a kind of shocked despondency the opening salvos of the wars that were to overwhelm the country. Uşaklıgil includes interviews with the Imperial family and descriptions of royal nuptials, the palaces and its visitors, and the crises that shook the court. He delivers an insightful and moving portrait of Mehmed V, the elderly gentleman who reigned over the Ottoman Empire through both Balkan Wars and World War I.
Douglas Scott Brookes teaches Ottoman Turkish at the University of California, Berkeley. He is author of Harem Ghosts: What One Cemetery Can Tell Us About the Ottoman Empire and The Concubine, the Princess, and the Teacher: Voices from the Ottoman Harem.

News Codemasters tease Dirt 4 on Twitter: official announcement imminent?
It's fair to say that a new DiRT sequel is long overdue. Dirt 3 was released back in 2011 to near universal acclaim, and fans have been pining for an official follow-up ever since (we're not counting the subpar spin-off that was Dirt Showdown). It seemed logical, then, to earmark this year for DiRT's belated […]

text:
Some time ago the Pro Football Researchers Association released profiles of a handful of players they thought were Hall of Fame-worthy.
Two of them were linemen—Grover "Ox" Emerson and Al "Big Ox" Wistert. Both Emerson and Wistert were All-Decade selections (both First-team), both were on NFL Championship teams, both were six-time First-team All-Pros, both were on teams that set statistical marks, some of which still stand to this day in team or NFL annals and yet neither were in the Hall of Fame which was the purpose of those dossiers—to inform Hall of Fame voters of a pair of NFL greats who fell through the nomination cracks.
Not only were the "Ox-men" on the First-team Hall of Fame All-Decade Teams for their respective decades, but they were also consensus choices for the "Combined" All-1930s and 1940s teams.
The "Ox" who played with the Lions, Emerson, in a recent profile by Chris Willis a producer at NFL Films and author of many books from the relevant eras, had many excellent "testimonials" or "What they said" quotes about him.
Here are a few:
"I regard Emerson one of the greatest linemen I have ever seen perform on a football field. Having him out of our first five games hurt us more than anyone will ever know."—Potsy Clark, former Spartans-Lions head coach, in 1935.
"(Ox) Emerson, the Detroit guard, according to Link Lyman of our Bears, is the fastest, 'slicing' forward and the hardest to block, he has ever met in football. And Link is almost a football line all by himself."—Red Grange, former Bears Hall of Fame back, wrote in 1934.
"Emerson's low charging made him one of the toughest guards to drive out of play, while he was fast enough to pull out and block on the Lions' intricate reverse plays."—wrote the UPI on Emerson when naming him to 1936 NFL All-Pro team.
Willis also mentioned that as he was a major part of the 1935 NFL Champion Lions, and that the "1936 the Lions set an NFL record for rushing yards in a season with 2,885 yards (in 12 games), a record that stood until 1972 when the Miami Dolphins broke it (in a 14-game season)"
Here are the team records as found in the Lions media guide. Three of the top five seasons for attempts are still listed. With a team that featured Barry Sanders on it, two of the top three rushing seasons are still part of the Emerson/Dutch Clark-era. Pretty impressive.
Emerson, as a two-way player (as almost all were in that era) was also part of the Lions 1934 Defense that posted seven shutouts and allowed just 59 points on the season.
Clearly, the defensive charts are more misleading due to era, season length and so on. But the 1950s and 1960s Lions teams were known for defense...and the 1930s defense still was dominant. A deep look would be required to get more meaning, but it is fair to say it was a great defense and Ox Emerson was a part of that.
As far as NFL records, the Lions from that era are still in the NFL Record and Fact Book's pages.
They still hold the record for most yards rushing in a game and are second in consecutive seasons leading the NFL in rushing yards behind a pair of Bears teams—one was recent, even.
And there are still third in fewest points allowed.
Wistert's "testimonials" include George Allen in his book Pro Football's 100 Greatest Players and also selected him as one of the ten best defensive linemen of all time. Allen wrote, "He was as fine a blocker as you could want. He didn't have the size to overpower people on the pass block, but he was a master of every kind of block."
As a defender, Allen added, ""He always played in perfect position and was seldom off his feet. He was a superb pursuit man and seemed somehow to get in on every play. He was a sure tackler. He was maybe best against the run, but he was among the good early pass rushers."
In 2016 the Talk of Fame Network had this quote as well, ""Al was the greatest offensive tackle I've seen or played with," said former teammate Bosh Pritchard.".
Steve Van Buren set the NFL's career rushing mark in 1949 (which he held for six seasons) Wistert was the most decorated blocker the Eagles had. And during the "Wistert era" the Eagles were at the top or near the top in rushing offense, scoring offense and were at or near the top of total defense and scoring defense as well, topping it off with the two NFL Championships.
Wistert was a quick-type in our view, would cut a lot, but that was common for the era. He was a good athlete for a tackle, not a big, slow power-type. As a pass rusher, he used his hands pretty well, which was unusual for that era when players would often lead with their shoulders. He was no Gino Marchetti (who advanced the use of hands in pass rushing in the 1950s), mind you, but he was very good at getting pressure. He was also excellent in pursuit in run defense.
Van Buren's accolades still dot the Eagles' recent Media Guides
And to this day the 1944 Eagles are second in fewest rushing yards allowed in a season. (Again, we get it's a different era, but the point is to highlight what the offenses and defenses of the "Ox" men did and that they hold up, not to prove said offenses and defenses played under same rules and circumstances, we know they didn't).
Here are the teams that allowed the fewest rushing yards from 1937-52. Four Eagles teams, which Wistert was a starter (five if you count the Steagles of 1943 where he was rookie).
And there are more things we could clip and post to further buttress the accomplishments of Emerson and Wistert.
But the bottom line is this:
We feel confident there are plenty of players in recent eras and from eras gone by that don't check as many boxes as these two do.
Two oxen make a team and for them to work well they have to be yoked together, equally, or there will be an imbalance and the team will not be efficient. These two are so even it is impossible to separate them. Maybe it's time, with the expanded Centennial Class of 2020, to use two of those "Centennial" slots on these oxen. It would be fitting, fair and just.

eloquently argued John.....hope the NFL recognizes the pre-WWII guys in their centennial HoF group
so what happened at the end of the year for the 34 Lions? PFR shows 7 (!) straight shutouts to open season (surely a record...isn't it?...which if so, will never be broken), 10-0 going into a Nov. 25 game at home against the Packers.....lose 3-0 on a 4th qtr FG, then lose the last 2 against Chicago both 3 point losses....maybe along with the 67 Baltimore Colts, the best team that 'never was'.....?
John Turney July 24, 2019 at 6:08 PM
It's a great question. I think if you got a copy of CHris Willis' book on Dutch Clark you'd get some answers. The 1969 Rams were 11-0 after 11 weeks then lost 4 straight including playoffs.
They maybe are similar...
JHoltgym July 25, 2019 at 10:07 AM
the Dutch Clark book is one I've yet to get....thanks for the suggestion, John.
John Turney July 25, 2019 at 12:16 PM
It's good...you could ask Chris but he will be producing Hard Knocks over the next month and will have little time, so the book may provide answers.
I'm still upset about that loss in the Coliseum against the 10-1-2 Rams in '67, not that anyone else still cares....the only team in NFL history to have one single loss in the whole season and the rules let green bay in and keep Baltimore out 11-0-2 > 11-1-2 and "see you later".....
Another example of Don Shula not being able to win the big game with the Colts. After Weeb Ewbank got revenge against Shula and Rosenbloom in SB III, Carrol had enough...I really believe Shula thought he would never leave the Colts.
What's also bad, and I cry foul to this day, is how a Rams team from 1967, that beat GB at the end of the year and had a better record, would have to go to Milwaukee of all places, to play the Pack in the playoffs ? A rotating schedule was for Championship games, not divisionals, I thought...

Hi, my name is Elijah Ewers and I'm a sophomore at Stroudsburg High School. This is my first year on the Mountaineer staff, and I'm eager to learn anything I can about journalism. I really enjoy helping people, so I volunteered many hours this past summer, and I plan to do more volunteer work on the weekends throughout the year. I'm interested in computers and programming, and I have a secret plan to hack the entire world (just kidding). I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the newspaper staff and learning journalism skills.


In June 2002 an Al-Qaeda cell was captured in Rome just before they poisoned the water supply of the US Embassy.

Molenda, Plante hit back-to-back home runs to cap off win
By Chris Rosato Jr. | Jul 16, 2021
The Yakima Valley Pippins completed their third three-game sweep of the season with a 13-3 victory over the Highline Bears Thursday.
The win was capped off by Brock Molenda lining a home run to right field for his first hit with the team and Austin Plante following with a home run of his own, the first time the Pippins have hit back-to-back home runs since 2017.
Molenda, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's win, started behind the plate for the second time and threw out both runners who tried to steal second base against him.
Kirby Robertson started on the mound for the Pippins, throwing five scoreless innings while striking out a season-high seven batters. He allowed just four hits and walked three on his way to the win.
For the first time in the series, the Pippins scored first when they batted around in the third inning. Spencer Marenco and Taylor Holder walked with one out, and Marenco scored the first run of the game when Sam Olsson singled and moved to second base on the throw home.
Alex Shanks singled Holder home and stole second base to put runners on second and third again. The inning continued when Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek reached on an error by the third baseman, scoring Olsson and giving the Pippins a 3-0 lead.
Martin-Grudzielanek took off for second base, drawing a throw from the catcher that allowed Shanks to score from third, then stole third base as well. After Molenda walked to put runners on the corners, Plante grounded into a fielder's choice but beat out the double play to drive in a fifth run for Yakima Valley.
The Pippins added a pair of runs in the fourth inning, when Marenco led off with a single and Olsson and Shanks doubled back-to-back.
For the second night in a row, Highline scored all of their runs in one inning. On Thursday, their three runs came in the sixth inning off Ryan Arredondo.
Arredondo started the inning by walking Tyler Black, who moved to third base on a single by Jaren Larson. Arredondo got his first out by stopping a chopper up the middle and tagging out Black, who was caught up between third and home.
Arredondo hit the next two batters, loading the bases and forcing home the first Bears run of the game. A sacrifice fly drove in the second run, and two more walks loaded the bases and forced home another run before the Pippins turned to left-hander Connor Wilson, who struck out the ninth batter of the inning for the final out.
Wilson pitched two more scoreless innings despite walking four batters and stranding the bases loaded in the seventh and two more runners in the eighth.
Meanwhile, the Pippins kept adding to their total with another three runs in the sixth inning and the two solo home runs in the eighth to win 13-3.
The Pippins depart for Cowlitz for a weekend series kicking off at 6:35 p.m. Friday. Live audio-only coverage of the game can be found at PippinsBaseball.com/Live.


The inclusion of China A-Shares in major indices will materially increase investment opportunities for active fund managers, according to Zenith. China A-Shares are a class of stocks listed on two Chinese stock exchanges (Shanghai and Shenzen) that provide a more open channel for foreign investors to access Chinese listed companies. Furthermore, the Chinese stock market offers significant depth in a number of different sectors that are not well represented in broader international equities indices.
In mid-2018 China A-Shares were included in the MSCI Emerging Markets and All Country World indices, a move that was well-received by global investors seeking improved access to Chinese stocks. Zenith believes the inclusion in mainstream international equities benchmarks will likely result in increased broker research and greater liquidity.
Zenith's rated emerging markets fund managers have increased their average exposure to China from 18% to 22% over the past 12 months, with A-Shares exposure doubling from 2% to 4%.
Although China A-Shares offer attractive investment opportunities, Zenith notes that it also comes with higher risk. The volatility (as measured by standard deviation) of China A-Shares (represented by Shanghai Shenzen CSI 300 Index) was significantly higher than that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (25% p.a. versus 10% p.a.) over five years to December 2018.
Zenith believes the higher volatility of the China A-Share market is a direct result of its high retail investor participation, estimated at approximately 80% by Bloomberg. Retail investors generally have a shorter time horizon compared to institutional investors, increasing the likelihood of shorter-term trading of stocks, thereby increasing volatility.

I don't know if this will amount to anything, but I figured it was worth a try. I created a petition on Change.org to try to sway Ubisoft to release Myst III and Myst IV rights back to Cyan. I don't have a lot of friends, and I'm not good at promoting things, so if you think this is worth doing, please share it with some people.
And if anyone from Cyan is reading this, if this in any way interferes with your own efforts, or you feel like the language needs to change, or the whole thing simply deleted, please let me know. I don't claim to represent you, or know anything about how any of this works. But these are two great games that deserve to be made available to people again.
"We can do wonders, you and I. Wonders."
It should be noted that Cyan never HAD the rights to Myst III and Myst IV. They were made and published by Presto Studios (III) and Ubisoft (III and IV).
It is entirely up to Ubisoft to choose to re-release the two games.
As far as I know, the last mention of the negotiation is in this Hangout from 2013.


Let's put lines in and take turns finishing scenes by filling in the next line. After you answer one, leave one for the next person. Comment all along the way. It should be fun.
