Bob Hawke still rocks.
Byadmin July 17, 2008 October 27, 2008
He may have been a tad intimidated but Andrew Denton managed to keep his cool for most of a spellbinding confab with that wiliest of politicos—Bob Hawke.
Hawke remained pretty tight-lipped throughout. Denton had to had to dig deep— in other words he had to hope his subject had soft underbelly and that it was still accessible after all these years by the Forth Estate. Hope lies eternal, Andres. But what about the rumour that Bobbie's mum always knew he'd be PM? Did his beloved dad, Clem, really once claim that "Bobbie had a magic flowing out of him?" The Rodes scholar's guarded answer to both? Yes: he'd had a happy childhood.
What about the demon alcohol? We all know that Bobbie likes a drink … well yes, the Rhodes scholar admitted. He was a drunk. Is is still a drunk? No, but … . One is definitely left with the impression that Bobbie's hold on the wagon will always be tenuous.
Prime Minister for nine years, Hawke was the first PM to have been elected without having sat in Parliament as Leader of the Opposition. He would also be the first PM to be ousted by members of his own party. Hawke's definition of the essence of power is "the knowledge that what you do will effect the happiness and well-being of millions of people … the essence of power is what it could mean for others" ie. power enables the individual to improve or destroys lives. Hence his favorite show, "Yes Minister" which he watched compulsively because according to him "I recognised the game."
Hawke was definitely a player and still is. Erudite, compassionate, guarded—he could have had AD for breakfast (like Seinfeld) but didn't. Oh yes, he threw that bit in about Paul Keating coming round to tea, and obviously loved the fact that it left Denton gasping for air but that was about it.
But for me the most fascinating and chilling insight from this complex public figure were his comments on the power of media and the effect of the communication revolution on the collective consciousness.
"Well it's as though we've got a lobotomy. We've had a lobotomy. There's one side right which is developed exponentially in the way we can produce goods and services and communicate now is just infinitely beyond recognition compared to just less than a century ago. That side of the brain has just blossomed and flourished and given the opportunity for us to have a life beyond imagination. The other side is if anything has withered. It certainly hasn't matched the growth of this side. Our social engineering capacity, our sort of moral conscience if you like the consciousness it hasn't developed … I do despair when I see the prioritisation of the issues presented by the media. It's as you say. I mean I just literally cringe whenever I see the name Paris Hilton. Who wants to know about what bloody Paris Hilton is doing when you've got half the world living in, you know poverty? When you've got the potential for the world blowing itself up?"
Yes, Prime Minister.

Hamlet, I wish I knew you….
Byadmin May 13, 2011
I am teaching Hamlet. This is a first for me, and it has given me a chance not only to revisit the play, but also Almereyda's messy, masterful adaptation (2000); and one summer in my own life when the time felt most terribly out of joint.

Maryanne Ito - Live at the Atherton (AGS-021-R)
Vinyl LP (Black) - Sold Out Vinyl LP (Clear) - $25.00 USD CD - $14.00 USD
2021 vinyl repress of the singer's intimate live studio performance, newly available in clear vinyl with bonus track, Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof".
Our second pressing of Maryanne Ito's honest and powerful live album features a new addition on vinyl: the backing band's locomotive charge through tough-as-nails Herbie Hancock tune, "Actual Proof". Recorded during the same live session as the rest of the album, this seven-minute rapid fire rendition opens the B-side to provide further evidence that these players — guitarist Gilbert Batangan, bassist Alika Lyman, and drummer Dae Han — were dialed in to something extraordinary that evening.
Already an enchanting snapshot of an intimate evening with singer Maryanne Ito and her original songs, the newly repressed LP feels even more complete the second time around.
On November 1, 2017, Maryanne and her band performed all new material for friends and family at the Atherton, an intimate venue amidst the bustle of Honolulu city life. It was an experience nothing short of magical — you can hear it in the record.

UAA volleyball team gets a spring season, and the basketball teams get a January start
Author: Beth Bragg

The UAA basketball teams won't begin playing until January, the volleyball team will get a spring season and the track team won't get an indoor conference championship meet, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced Friday.
The conference, which in July suspended all sports until Nov. 30 because of COVID-19, decided this week that the 2020-21 basketball seasons for men and women won't begin until Jan. 7 at the earliest.
No nonconference games will be allowed before then. Typically, the Seawolves are playing nonconference games by the final week of October or the first week of November.
The UAA volleyball team will get a spring season to replace the season that has should be happening now, but isn't.
Seawolves coach Chris Green, who is part of a committee coming up with schedule proposals, said the season will probably run from mid-February to late April.
"The problem for us in Alaska is the travel restrictions we have (regarding COVID-19 testing)," he said. "We're hoping that gets relaxed. ... Teams are going to have to be tested often anyway."
No decision was made on whether this fall's cancelled cross country season will be rescheduled for the spring. "Discussion continues," the GNAC said.
The UAA track team lost the jewel of the indoor season -- the GNAC championships. The meet is usually held in Nampa, Idaho, but the facility there is no longer available and a similar facility wasn't available elsewhere in the conference.
The Seawolves put eight athletes on the podium at the 2020 GNAC indoor championships in February, including Felix Kemboi, the champion in the men's 3,000-meter run. The national championships, scheduled for March, were canceled as the novel coronavirus spread across the nation.

Huawei Technologies is an instrument of the Chinese government: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
By Henry Fernandez FOXBusiness
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo that Huawei Technologies' ties to the Chinese Communist Party pose the greatest threat to America's economic and national security.
"Huawei is an instrument of the Chinese government. They're deeply connected. It's something that hard for Americans to understand," Pompeo said during an exclusive interview on "Mornings with Maria" Wednesday.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFFS, EXPLAINED: WHO REALLY PAYS THEM?
Chinese companies operate under a set of different rules where business practices could be influenced by politics unlike in the United States, according to Pompeo.
"Our companies cooperate with the United States government, that is they comply with our laws. But no president directs an American private company; that's very different in China," he said. "They just simply operate under a different set of rules. That's the most fundamental thing I think people need to try and get their head around."
Pompeo points out Huawei isn't bound by any laws from sharing American intellectual property with the Beijing government.
"If it's the case, that the Chinese Communist Party wanted to get information from technology that was in the possession of Huawei, it is almost certainly the case that Huawei would provide that to them," he said. "That deep connectivity exists inside the way their political economy operates. That's very different in the United States. That's the threat that President Trump sees from Huawei."

Рауль Моро Пресколи (; ) — испанский футболист, нападающий итальянского «Лацио», выступающий на правах аренды за клуб «Тернана».

Клубная карьера
Начинал заниматься футболом в клубе «Химнастик Манреса», после чего перебрался в «Эспаньол». В 2018 году перешёл в юношескую команду «Барселоны». В игровом плане Моро часто брал игру на себя, в связи с чем не вписывался в основную тактику клуба — тики-таку. Поэтому в клубе он пробыл только один сезон.

В конце лета 2019 года перешёл в итальянский «Лацио». Сумма трансфера составила около 8 миллионов евро. В римском клубе выступал за юношескую команду. В одном из тренировочных мачтей против основного состава «Лацио» Моро настолько впечатлил главного тренера Симоне Индзаги, что вторую половину встречи доигрывал за основной состав. Затем испанский нападающий периодически стал привлекаться к тренировкам с главной командой.

20 июля 2020 года дебютировал в составе «Лацио» в матче чемпионата Италии против «Ювентуса». Моро появился на поле на 89-й минуте вместо Мануэля Ладзари.

Карьера в сборных
Дебютировал в составе юношеской сборной Испании 16 января 2019 года в товарищеской игре с Италией. Моро вышел на замену во втором тайме вместо Хермана Валеры.

Our work has revolutionised understanding of Whitby Headland's history through time. The analysis of 21 years of excavation and survey work is currently being undertaken by members of the team.
The earliest occupation so far identified was an enclosure containing a round house of late Bronze Age date. A Roman presence is attested by finds, but the late signal station thought to have been located here has long gone – some 500m of land has been lost to coastal erosion in the last 2,000 years.
The Anglian period is the most important historically. The Abbey founded by St Hild in 657 was the site of the great Synod of 664 which decided in favour of Roman over Celtic ecclesiastical rites. Once thought to be a small group of stone cells, we can now show a major settlement, fitting for a royal abbey.
Much of an extensive lay settlement has been lost to the sea, but timber buildings containing evidence for industry including glass working have been excavated. The extent of the monastic cemetery near the later abbey has been confirmed and two Anglian cross fragments were found in the area.
To the south of the Abbey it is possible that a major ditch cuts off the Headland from the river Esk to the west to the North Sea on the east side. This Anglian ditch excludes a major contemporary cemetery within which was a small stone chapel, excavated in 2014.
Little evidence for the Norman re-foundation of the Abbey has emerged from the work, but the 13th century monastic precinct boundary has been identified.
The landscape around the boundary was entirely covered by ridge and furrow ploughing. Within the boundary the area had been terraced, such that the high altar within the Abbey stood on the high point, and the church was the most visible element.
After the dissolution the Abbey was acquired by the Cholmley family, who built Abbey House, altering the monastic terraces to create yards and gardens surrounding their fine new house, of which the modern visitor centre occupies the façade.
The Whitby Headland Project began in 1993 with the intention of improving the visitor facilities, and contributing new knowledge to site interpretation.
Evaluations around Abbey Lands Farm revealed significant archaeology , and from 1996 the development of a new visitor centre around the so-called Banqueting House, a surviving 17th century wing of Abbey House, was undertaken necessitating many archaeological investigations.
The new Cholmley's House Visitor Centre was opened in 2002. In 1999 and 2000 a research excavation was conducted on the Abbey Lands Farm, revealing an extensive Anglian Christian cemetery.

Hockey and music together for suicide prevention and mental health
Musician to perform Sandy Hook benefit song
From News Channel 2 WKTV Utica

Story Updated: Apr 4, 2014 at 11:18 PM EDT
DEANSBORO, N.Y. (WKTV) - Larry Pegg is a musician. The Canadian singer, song-writer and guitarist traveled from Canada to perform at the second annual Daniel Barden Mudfest, Saturday. He spoke with NEWSChannel 2 on Friday evening about why the Mudfest's mission holds close to his own heart.
The Mudfest started last year to remember Daniel Barden, a 7-year-old student who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The founder, Dan Williams, started the event after attending Barden's funeral. Barden and his niece were friends and classmates.
Pegg unknowingly became connected to the tragedy through his own personal tragedy. He lost his daughter to suicide seven years ago, a day that plays out in infamy in his mind. He used music as his therapy.
"I wrote a song called 'Last of the Hot Summer Days,' which was meshing America's grief over 9/11 with my own grief," Pegg said."And that my grief like America's grief will be everlasting."
Pegg was on his way to the recording studio to track that song in 2012, when the unthinkable happened, the Sandy Hook tragedy. Pegg says the news came across the radio in his car, forcing him to pull over.
"I pulled over and I cried. I went to the studio and I laid it down with the pain of all those parents," Pegg said.
The song that helped him through his own tragedy, he plans to sing for all those who attend the second annual Mudfest at MKJ Farms in Deansboro.
"I have always tried to bring a positive message within the reality of life," Pegg said.
The Mudfest is a family friendly event that includes a kids half mile adventure run, an adult 5K and an adult elite run for experienced athletes.
All proceeds from the Mudfest benefit the Sandy Hook Promise, the Newtown community organization founded after the mass shooting tragedy. It will benefit Compeer, a community organization serving individuals in the Mohawk Valley who receive mental health services.
Williams said he decided to make this an annual event after seeing the way it helped the Barden family last year, "It has been difficult but I have to tell you in November, Martin Barden called me and said last years mud run really helped pull them through. He asked if we could do it again and I said absolutely, we'll do it again."
Registration is at 7a.m. on April 5. The first wave of the 5K begins at 9:00a.m. followed by one every half hour.
To purchase Larry Pegg's song 'Last of the hot summer days,' or his CD you can visit this website. All proceeds from the sale of his song go to the Sandy Hook promise.
If you purchase a physical copy of the CD or online, 50 percent of the proceeds go to the Sandy Hook Promise.
Dancing for life: Rankin teen appears in celebrate life video

Like many in the Kivalliq, Kaelan Collier of Rankin Inlet knows the pain of losing a friend to suicide.
But unlike the majority, Collier had the chance to participate in a project that celebrates life, and takes a swipe back at suicide through hockey, the performing arts and a message of love.
Collier, 14, took part in the music video for Don't Stop Stompin,' part of the Hockey Project's Hockey is Great, Life is Bigger, while attending the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland, Ontario, earlier this hockey season.
The project is the brainchild of Canadian singer/ songwriter Larry Pegg, who lost his 20-year-old daughter, Kelly, to suicide in December 2007.
Collier said being part of the unique hockey-meetsmental- health video was a great experience.
He said the 80 young players in the video took two days away from school to learn the featured dance steps.
"He (Pegg) also came to our school and gave some really good talks on how hockey will always be there for us, but life is the biggest thing there is," said Collier.
"These days, having talks or presentations on suicide happens a lot.
"But it has the most impact when a person who's been through it gets you into a group, talks to you about how hard it is to get over, and reminds you there's always someone who cares for you.
"Life can be a challenge, and there's always going to be really rough spots, but you can overcome them."
Collier said everyone loved working on the video.
He said there were auditions held for the 20 or so in the video's lead roles, while the rest of the participants learned how to do the backing "stomp" dance.
"This experience was a whole new bag for me.
"It brought so much emotion to me because I've lost friends to suicide.
"When he spoke to us about what he went through, it touched me deep down.
"I'm not sure how, but it also boosted my self-confidence in being a hockey player."
Collier said he was extremely happy when the video was released publicly.
He said it was gratifying to see the finished video after working so hard on it.
"I was so happy it got out and everything went as planned.
"It came out on the date it was supposed to, and we were the first to see it before it went live."
The video debuted in the arena of the Perth Blue Wings, a community of about 6,000 in southern Ontario still healing from the summer of 2011, when six male teenagers in Lanark County took their own lives during the span of a few weeks.
Collier said he had a good feeling about the video from day one.
He said the only part of the process he found difficult was when he first started learning the dance steps.
"You had to move in a certain way and, if anyone messed-up, we'd have to start the whole set over again.
"But I knew we'd get it right and the video would be good when it came out.
"If he (Pegg) ever asked me to do something again with him, I'd do it in a heartbeat."

From Kivalliq News, March 26, 2014, Kivalliq, Nunavut, Canada
Hockey is Great! Life is bigger! That's the message selected by a Canadian singer songwriter who knows the pain of suicide all too well, and who has turned to the game of hockey to spread a positive message to youths across the country and around the world. Larry Pegg released the music video Don't Stop
Stompin' this past month.
The piece is a unique hockey meets mental health video that pays tribute to Stompin' Tom Connors and tips its hat to the Beatles, while sending out a message of never giving up on life.
Filmed at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland, Ontario, the video features 80 young hockey players from 11 different countries stompin' out the Hockey Project's anti suicide message.
The music video also features performer "Lucky" Ron Burke and the voice of the Ottawa 67's, Dan Mooney.
Pegg remains a grieving father, having lost a daughter, Kelly, 20, to suicide in December 2007.
Larry said Kelly loved The Beatles and, although she never played organized hockey, loved to lace 'em up and play shinny.
"We had a lake in our backyard, and we shovelled the ice off to become a community just by playing shinny," said Pegg.
"We followed the NHL and Olympics and, as a family, gathered for the games.
"As long as a child has warm, comfortable skates, they can learn to skate.
"And the joy of skating is where the game of hockey begins."
Larry said sport, in general, has been an expression of life for thousands of years. He said while Canadians enjoy many sports, hockey is the one game that truly brings people together.
"I see hockey as a uni form community around the world, he said. "The game splits ideological barriers and unifies people around one concept.
"I believe reaching kids should be mandatory and, if socialized sports is one way of doing that, so be it."
Larry said Kelly always had a positive spirit, which made her death all the more shocking and stunning.
He said his daughter never suffered from alcohol abuse or drug problems.
"Kelly was a wonderful athlete and a typical child who played soccer and ultim ate Frisbee, and loved skating and playing shinny.
"I have a daughter who still lives, so I have to try to remain positive in the midst of this grief.
"I was with my songwriting partner, Edmund Eagan, when Stompin' Tom died and I immediately came up with the line, don't stop stompin.'
"Then we looked at whether we could celebrate the greatest hockey song ever written, and turn it into a metaphor on don't give up on life, and the answer was yes." Larry then came up with the concept of hockey is great, but life is better as a campaign to bring attention to mental health and suicide prevention through hockey.
His efforts fit in well with other campaigns with strong ties to the NHL.
Former NHLer Luke Richardson lost his daughter, Daron, 14, to suicide in Nov ember of 2010.
In 2011, the Richard son family joined the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health, the Ottawa Senators and the Sens Foundation to launch fundraising efforts and take part in awareness cam paigns to try and inspire youth to talk about mental health.
Daron's birthday, Feb. 8, is now known as Do It For Daron Purple Pledge Day, which asks people to wear purple (Daron's favourite colour) in support of the Daron Richardson Fund.
NHLer Daniel Alfredsson has a sister with mental health problems, which prompted him to become an ambassador for the Royal Ottawa Hospital. Larry said efforts like those began to make it clear to him that the hockey com munity really cares about the
He said that's when he began to realize there was something bigger going on.
"We watch these kids win and lose on the ice and, while it's no fun watching them lose, that's part of life.
"But there's no answer when you lose a child.
"The hockey community is one of passion, and I want to bring that down to the com munity level.
"That's where I believe the concept of life is bigger has to grow from."
Larry hopes the Hockey Project helps open new lines of communication for youth around the world.
He said the 80 kids who took part in the video all have a positive story to tell.
"They had a lot of fun, learned how to ice dance and took part in a music video.
"They even got marks for their participation.
"It's a great story that gives me cause to be hopeful, even in the wake of what I experi enced in losing my child.
"When you lose a child to suicide, it sucks the life out of you and can cause hopeless ness to creep in."
Editor's note: Kaelan Collier of Rankin Inlet took part in the video, but was away at the Arctic Winter Games at the time of this story. Please see the April 2 edition for his thoughts on the project.

Lucky Ron, musicians and Larry Pegg pay tribute to Stompin' Tom, raise mental health awareness
On Saturday, March 8th, 2014, Lucky Ron performed a musical tribute to Stompin' Tom at The Chateau Lafayette.
"It may not be new or different; the Lucky Ron Show is pretty status quo. But once in a while, something happens that is bigger than the show itself. It's emotional on a national scale. When a legend is lost, the country mourns. For Canada, losing Stompin' Tom Connors was a bag of mixed feelings – the happiness his songs brought to us, the memories his melodies created, and the ultimate sadness that comes along with the loss of an icon. For the Laff, our regulars, and especially to Lucky Ron, the passing of Stompin' Tom brought forth a renewed community of music lovers and a determination to never let the melody fade away. To honor the late, great, Stompin' Tom, during the second set of the show, The Chateau Lafayette opened our stage to musical impersonators of the one and only. Those that embody the persona, the talent, and the musical integrity required to perform for a full house were granted a guitar from Lucky Ron, and the stage to showcase their performance.
Before the Lucky Ron Show kicked off, The Chateau Lafayette featured a special presentation. After having his world rocked by the sudden suicide of his daughter, project leader Larry Pegg decided it was time to raise awareness for mental health in young people, and he chose hockey as a metaphor for it. A group of people then got together to create the Hockey Project (www.thehockeyproject.ca). He gathered Lucky Ron, the students at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland, Ont., and supporters of the D.I.F.D. campaign for Mental Health Awareness. Together, they made the video titled "Don't Stop Stompin'". The Chateau Lafayette featured the music video at the beginning of the Lucky Ron Show. During the show, the venue sold mini cupcakes for $1 each, with all proceeds going to support D.I.F.D. A big Thank You to Cakes on St. Philippe for their donation in part to support this great cause.

Puyallup Tribe rejects Preliminary Determination to issue permits to Tacoma LNG
The Puyallup Tribal Council expressed disappointment Monday by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's preliminary determination to issue permits to the liquefied natural gas proposal in Tacoma. The governmental reviews of this project have been badly flawed and have failed to engage the Tribe in consultation as they are legally required to do.
"Puget Sound Energy's fracked gas project is an insult to the Puyallup Tribe and a threat to the global environment," said Chairman David Z. Bean, speaking for the Council. "We continue to oppose the project, which is sited on our ancestral homeland. We call on Governor Jay Inslee to initiate a new review of the project that properly addresses its impacts."
Council reiterated points it made after PSCAA issued its Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement earlier this year:
Today's Preliminary Determination does not address the absence of legally-required consultation with the Tribe. From the beginning, the Puyallup Tribe has been systematically ignored by PSE and the government agencies responsible for reviewing the project, in blatant violation of their legal obligations. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency was delegated its authority from the US Clean Air Act and from Washington State's authority under that Act. The obligation to consult with the Tribe held by both the federal government and the State of Washington was delegated to the Clean Air Agency, yet it did not conduct meaningful consultation with the Tribe.
Today's Preliminary Determination does not address the project's many safety risks. PSE's fracked gas LNG facility is clearly unsafe, for both the people of Tacoma and the global climate. PSE fought the release of the safety, fire, and siting studies until a year or more after the final EIS was issued, which was well after comments were allowed on the analysis. The Tribe had provided permitting authorities with safety concerns identified by an expert, but received no response from the State or City.
Today's Preliminary Determination does not address any of the substantial changes made to the project after it was subjected to environmental review. The Puyallup Tribe has documented no fewer than seven major alterations to the project since it was reviewed by government agencies, changes that have happened without our review, input, or agreement. These changes should be addressed in a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement as required under the law by the City of Tacoma or the State of Washington or both.
The Preliminary Determination published today wrongly assumes that the project would not be harmful, based on outdated assumptions and flawed methodology—errors that were clearly pointed out during the public comment period of PSCAA's Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. It is widely understood that fracked gas infrastructure like Tacoma LNG is far more harmful than previously thought because climate-damaging methane leaks are so prevalent and because fracking drives so much gas production today.
Council encouraged people likewise concerned by the determination to attend PSCAA's public hearing from 2 to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Rialto Theater in Tacoma on Aug. 27.

Q: Is it unsafe/inefficient to create ClientContext within repository methods (SP 2013)? I'm doing the backend for a new .NET to Sharepoint integration and I would like to hide Sharepoint Implementation details from my team.  In this example (http://www.bugfree.dk/blog/2010/01/18/sharepoint-list-access-using-the-repository-pattern/) The author passes the SP.Web object to his repository methods, but I don't like how that requires the calling code to know a lot about sharepoint.
My question is whether creating the context inside each repository is A Bad Thing.  It definitely appears that it could be an expensive operation, but I'm new to SharePoint and not sure how to find the answer.
public class EmployeeRepository : ListRepository
{
    public EmployeeRepository()
    {
        Definition = new EmployeeDefinition();
    }

    public void Create(Employee e)
    {
        using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext(SharePointService.server))
        {
            SharePointService.SetCredentials(context);
            var list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(Definition.ListName);

            ListItemCreationInformation itemCreate = new ListItemCreationInformation();
            ListItem newItem = list.AddItem(itemCreate);
            newItem[EmployeeDefinition.EmployeeId] = e.Id;
            newItem[EmployeeDefinition.Name] = e.Name;
            newItem[EmployeeDefinition.HireDate] = e.HireDate;
            newItem[EmployeeDefinition.Remarks] = e.Remarks;
            newItem.Update();

Raprock is een muziekgenre waarin hiphop en rock gecombineerd worden. Oorspronkelijk is raprock een samensmelting van rapcore en rapmetal met invloeden uit de rockmuziek. Raprock wordt per definitie in groepsvorm gespeeld.

Soms ontlenen raprockartiesten elementen uit de funk en jazz om het ritme te versterken en de muziek vrolijker te maken. Het genre funkmetal is aan raprock verwant.

De instrumenten die vaak bij raprock worden toegepast zijn basgitaar, drums, elektrische gitaar, keyboard, draaitafels en drumcomputer.

Voorbeelden
De database van Allmusic vermeldt onder meer de volgende albums als voorbeelden van raprockalbums:
 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
 Brougham - Le Cock Sportif
 Uncle Kracker - Double Wide
 311 - Grassroots
 Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
 Insane Clown Posse - The Amazing Jeckel Brothers

We thought we'd seen it all when it came to unexpected spots for tattoos after Kendall Jenner got her inner lip done and armpit tattoos began sweeping Instagram, but the latest ink placement trending on social media took us bye complete surprise. Ladies across the country (Rihanna and Miley Cyrus included!) are opting to get tattoos on their… cuticles!
The trend first made the rounds back in 2015 in a more temporary fashion, but has since become a thing of permanence. The tiny designs perfectly frame the nail and offer a gorgeous minimalist approach to body art. Check out some of the cutest designs we found below.
1. Lovely Lotus Petals: #cuticletattoos may be small, but there's no denying that they pack a big punch, especially when they're perfectly paired with a gorgeous mani like the pretty flower petal design above.
2. A-dot-able: While some are opting to just frame one cuticle, others are extending their subtle designs across several fingers, like this ink fan whose dots run all the way down to the knuckles.
3. Matchy-Matchy:@ruhjub went for a matching set of tats, choosing one design for all five cuticles. But as she points out in her hand selfie, these dainty tattoos do require regular maintenance. "Cuticle tattoos [are] holding up well, [but I] might come for a touch up in November if you're about," she wrote, tagging her artist.
4. Razor Sharp: Another factor to consider is, of course, the permanence, as well as the pain. As Dr. Avaliani told Teen Vogue, "the less fat, the less cushion," which makes areas over bone some of the most painful to tattoo. Still — how cool does this teardrop piece look?
5.A Less Permanent Pick: If you love the look but aren't ready for the commitment of a cuticle tat, simply pick up a pack of NPW Temporary Nail Cuticle Tattoos ($3) and go wild! Application is super easy (just press on and wet the tattoo from the back, like you did when you were a kid), and the sky's the limit. Okay, we're officially sold!

It's amazing when you set your sights on committing to a new target, whatever that may be, and it's just a case of getting into the groove so that you can do your thing! Below we have a selection of the best habits you can take away with you that will see you achieve your ambitions.
If you are going to stick to something, the chances are that unless you enjoy it, you won't stick to it. Let's be real here, if you get nothing back, not even the slightest bit of return from a sport or exercise, then why do it? Yes, there will be benefits, but when there are so, so many other options out there, don't make it unenjoyable when you could be loving it!
Have you seen something on TV that has caught your eye? Does the class your friend from work attends sound like fun? Did you quit an activity when you were younger that you wish you hadn't? If any of these things resonate with you, then give it a go or get back into it; you could be a superstar in the making.
If you're new to it, or you've not been doing this exercise malarkey for a while, then don't go straight in at the deep end. By all means, set yourself some goals, but at the beginning, don't make then unattainable.
It might be worth setting yourself some different sized goals; smaller, mid-range, final, for example. The point of this is that you will always be accomplishing on the road to your final goal without leaving yourself feeling too overwhelmed which can ruin motivation.
Just to reiterate, a few small wins are useful to help with your motivation and ongoing, daily focus. The importance of remaining driven throughout your journey to peak fitness is essential. As soon as you can establish a consistent level of motivation, then you can get to work on extending sessions, intensity, game time, weights, etc.
You must, and this can't be stressed enough, be committed to the cause. There's no one who can literally get you to your goal but you. Ultimately, this boils down to how much you want it, so you have to be 100% into it to reap the rewards.
50% of what you with your fitness is about founding a solid habit of daily exercise. If you come with full commitment and get it done, then it will become easier every day. Actually, no, that's not strictly true; it never gets easier, you just get stronger and better!
There's something in being dressed and ready to go too, by the way. According to research that surveyed 2,000 regular gym goers, a whopping 90% felt motivated to workout merely from putting on their workout clothes. What's more, just under 8 in 10 (79%) of those surveyed said that owning 'good' clothes to workout in, was a vital step toward meeting their fitness goals.
Another intelligent way to be successful with fitness is to set yourself daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals. As we touched on in one of the previous points, it will be far more beneficial to your long-term goal if you start off small.
These elements combined will make establishing your regular exercise habit much easier. So, as soon as you've got your goals written down, either on paper or in your notes on your phone/computer, you can then physically refer to them in order to visibly see what tasks need to be completed. This will allow you to plan an effectual route of how to get there.
Furthermore, you should note the importance of tracking your progress on a daily basis. Have you unavoidably missed a session or workout? If so, get it written down, move on, and don't allow yourself to dwell on it.
However, if you missed your session/workout because 'you weren't quite in the mood for it' then you should be giving yourself some smaller goals that you can complete. Alternatively, you might what to look at some of the reasons for your lowered motivation that are lurking in the background.
If you want to, you can use apps to track progress and set goals. They can actually be a really useful tool for helping you on your progression to success.
Exercising should be an integral part of your daily routine, so make sure that you're always scheduling it in. there's no way that it should be an afterthought or just something that you pick up when you have the odd evening free. Get your priorities straight and get your sessions firmly planned on the to-do list if you want to be successful.
Some of the best times to schedule your workout into your day are to use blocks of quiet hours with no distractions. Early in the morning or right after work are great blocks of time to use for working out.
You can use some great free apps on your phone to help you out. They will track lots of useful informative data along with the information you can enter manually. If you're not using an app, then use a calendar that you can mark fat crosses on to when you complete a workout each day.
This will give you an added sense of achievement when you look back and see that, yes, it's done, you did it and there's the proof. it's a super way of having a visual reminder of progress as well as offering encouragement that, at times, might be just what you needed.
Sound slumber has a major role in every athlete's training plan. It helps your ability to get the most out of your hours of dedication. If you want to dedicate yourself to training hard you will need healthy sleep levels on your side too.
Exercise is known to release endorphins in the body, so you're giving yourself mental rewards from your workouts as well as seeing the progress in the mirror.
Sleepadvisor.org tell us that reduced amounts of sleep can cause abnormalities with your appetite-signalling hormone. If you're not receiving the correct level of sleep then hunger pangs will become frequent and invariably lead to you eating unnecessarily. If you get the recommended daily amount of sleep should be between seven and nine hours per night on average, it will be much easier to stay on top of your healthy lifestyle.
Yes, we know, you don't want to be the person that joins the brigade of 'look what I did' social sharers, but this can be so helpful to your progress.
Taking advantage of social media and other apps that are available for public sharing is a useful way of building a network of like-minded people. You might also inspire someone to do the same thing and start a fitness journey of their own.
This other plus here is the accountability. If you update your followers and friends on Instagram and Facebook regularly and say that you're going aiming for a target, then this gives you extra added incentives to stay on course. As long as you don't spam your pals too hard on social networks, they're going to be much more inclined to help keep you motivated along the way too.
So, you've bought your workout gear, but it's buried under a pile of washing! No, of course not; you wouldn't do that, would you? Prime excuses for not getting your activity done would be things such as "I didn't have clean clothes".
One of the key ways to avoid this issue is to have your kit in plain sight. Proudly hang it somewhere that is easily accessible and not stuff at the back of a drawer in your room, or worse, in your wash basket.
Another handy tip as far as your clothes go, is to have them set out and ready to go the night before you train as it will make the move from bed/work to exercising more seamless.
When your clothes aren't hanging up waiting for you to workout in them, you're obviously going to be wearing them. As such, it's a pretty big thing to make sure that they are comfortable while you're wearing them.
Being comfortable while you exercise is important so maybe it's time to finally invest in some good quality comfortable workout gear.
Proper and quality workout clothing and gear will also help to prevent injuries, motivate you to start working out and can curb the 'sweaty t-shirt' look problem.
This is a lot about personal preference and whatever makes you feel comfy, doesn't inhibit issues that hinder your training and won't leave you with an empty bank balance are all good points to bear in mind, although you tend to get what you pay for from good workout gear. Think of everything you purchase as an investment in your health, and happiness, not just your training.

Stocks fell today, influenced by two factors: Macy's Inc. reduced its earnings forecast, reflecting a drop in retailers. The second factor in the stock slide was that economists predicted the Federal Reserve will begin to taper its bond purchases next month. "The market is scope-locked on Fed tapering in September," Douglas Cote, chief market strategist at ING U.S. Investment Management in New York, said. "Quantitative easing is creating some excess in the financial system. The last thing Bernanke wants when he finishes his term is to be responsible for the next bubble." Despite this decline, however, Italian and Spanish bonds rose with European shares as the euro came out of its year-and-a-half-long recession.
An increased pace of consumer spending and renewed business in Germany and France have caused both economies to grow faster than expected in the second quarter, pulling the euro zone out of a one-and-a-half-year-long recession. However, with countries like Spain and Italy still struggling, the euro zone's economy still shows signs of fragility. "The return to modest rates of economic growth in the euro zone as a whole won't address the deep-seated economic and fiscal problems of the peripheral countries," researchers at Capital Economics wrote.
Employers around the country, spanning from the fast-food industry to universities, will be forced to cut employees' hours below 30 per week because they can't afford the health insurance mandated by the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. "To tell somebody that you've got to decrease their hours because of a law passed in Washington is very frustrating to me," said Loren Goodridge, who owns 21 Subway franchises. "I know the impact I'm having on some of my employees." Goodridge added that he's cutting the hours to no more than 29 hours a week so he won't trigger the provision that requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work 30 hours or more per week. Obamacare will take full effect in 16 months.
South Africa is a country for investors to watch. Key reasons include its status as one of the most developed economies in Africa, its gross domestic product (GDP) of a little more than a half-trillion dollars in purchasing power parity (PPP) and its population of about 50 million.

Hello, I really like your app as well as your web version. I think you are trying to integrate the best of google photos and orient it to photographers... But what are you offering the users better than google photos? Well, I think you can give a lot of advantages, take some ideas from adobe lightroom editing. Allow the photographers or normal users to be able to edit their pictures online with some more "advanced" editing. Also, I know it hurts, but give more free storage at the first place. That is the tasty candy that customers buy, they will like it and then they will stay. Another idea, allow us to be able to organize our pictures by folders, we, users, like to have things organized not just a bunch of pictures in a timeline. Let us go to the "back door" and let us organize stuff by folders and stuff. Another service you could add is something like Gopro is implementing, Gopro plus with insurances and stuff like that for a fixed montly fee. You are the king of the camera world, lead this market!!
On the irista website, on Chrome, when I am browsing through the pictures and I click on one, I can see it in detail. Then when I click "back", the view goes back to the top of the gallery, I would like to stay in the same part I was while browsing.
Ik vind de creatieve (of art) filters op de Irista site enorm leuk. Zelf ben ik een enthousiaste gebruiker van Canon Digital Photo Professional. Ik bewerk er al mijn foto's mee, ook als ik ze met mijn telefoon of andere camera heb gemaakt. De bewerkingen in DPP zijn subtieler dan in veel andere programma's. Nieuwe mogelijkheden zoals het bewerken van een selectief gebied vind ik dan ook een welkome toevoeging. Het toevoegen van mooie filters in DPP zoals in Irista zou ik fantastisch vinden.
Move photos from one album to another or have the opportunity to keep the same photo in multiple albums!
Images uploaded by others in shared albums are neither selectable, editable nor manageable. In my opinion shared albums should be collaborative: create, edit and curate albums together.
I know you can select a group of photos by the date, but if there are a few in the middle you don't want, you have to do it one by one. You should work on making a faster selection and a be more flexible to move photos in between albums.
Ajouter un classement par année.
Ajouter la possibilité de supprimer plus que par mois. P.ex, supprimer tout, ou une année complète, ou par résultat de filtrage (p.ex supprimer tout "mer", ou supprimer tout "modèle d'appareil", ou d'ouverture".
Ajouter d'autre filtres d'appareils photo. P.ex; avec flash, vitesse, etc.
Sinon, bonne appli, rapide, claire.

Liverpool hero Barnes backing move for Wolves dazzler Traore
Liverpool hero John Barnes would welcome seeing Adama Traore move to Anfield.
The Reds continue to be linked with the 25-year-old, who is out of contract with Wolves in 2023.
Highly unlikely to be a regular starter in Jurgen Klopp's side ahead of the likes of Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, Barnes has doubts as to whether or not Traore would be happy to be predominantly deployed as a substitute.
"Adama Traore could be a good addition to the squad but he's not going to play ahead of Salah, Mane, Jota or Firmino," Barnes told BonusCodeBets.
"If he wants to come to Liverpool that would be great but he'll come knowing he's not going to play regularly. It would be a great acquisition for the squad. But I can't see him making that decision."


Axel D. Becke is the Killam Chair in computational science and Harry Shirreff Professor of chemical research at Dalhousie University. He has been a leader in the development of the density-functional theory (DFT) of electronic structure for over thirty years. Largely due to his efforts, DFT is the most popular tool in computational chemistry and physics today. Its popularity earned theoretical physicist Walter Kohn, who conceived the foundations of DFT in 1964–1965, a share (with John Pople) of the 1998 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Becke is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2000) and the Royal Society of London (2006), a medalist of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science (1991) and the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists (2000), recipient of a Canada Council Killam Research Fellowship (2005-2007), the CSC John Polanyi Award (2009), the Theoretical Chemistry Award of the American Chemical Society (2014), and the 2015 NSERC Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering.


I would like to thank everyone who has contacted me in support of this piece but, in truth, I did not enjoy writing it. I like writing children's fiction. That's my job. However, many children's authors now find themselves in a peculiar situation of feeling like our jobs are being stolen by a small selection of rich & famous people. As one of my fellow authors put it recently, imagine going into work to find Peter Kay doing your job. It doesn't matter that he doesn't do it as well as you. I mean, it's TV's Peter Kay – who cares? He gets paid more than you do because, well, it's Peter Kay – come on, everyone loves that guy. What would you do? Accept that Peter Kay has every right to do your job if he wants? Or would you fight for your right to do your job? Bear in mind that if you fight, you will be taking on people much richer and more famous than you – people with armies of fans willing to back them up. It is this uncomfortable, surreal – and pretty hopeless – scenario that many writers of children's fiction now find themselves in. So with apologies for any rage this has now caused in the celebrity community, here is my piece on celebrity authors.
I spent much of last week trying to work out how to structure my thoughts on celebrity children's authors. I needed something written up before a piece I have recorded for The One Show airs. Happily on 2nd December 2018, David Baddiel came to my rescue with this tweet.
These two tweets explain a lot about the current state of the UK children's book market.
Firstly, and most noticeably, both authors mentioned, are better known for their work as comedians on television. That is fair enough. We have all had different jobs and we all use what advantage we have to promote and sell our books. At schools and festivals I play a variety of instruments, sing and rap about my books. Not everyone can do this. I do it because I love doing it. Over the past 12 years, I have written 36 books for children of all ages. I love my job and I believe I am good at it. But it is under threat.
The runaway success of the Walliams brand was a game changer in Children's books. I remember talking to a publisher a few years ago who was looking for a similar 'household name' to write children's books. They needed a name people would recognise and trust. They needed a celebrity 'author'.
I should probably explain why the inverted commas. Undoubtedly, some celebrities write their own books. Others have ghostwriters. Some of them work closely with their writers, just as they do on television. I am told that some celebrity authors firmly believe they write their own books because they submit a manuscript. The fact that their efforts are in desperate need of rescuing by thorough and copious editing process is neither here nor there.
Baddiel's jokey little gripe garnered a rather astonished reaction from the large – and for the most part friendly, supportive – network of children's authors who waste their days on twitter. I am one of them but I try not to interact with anyone who has a K in their number of followers. No good ever comes of it.
This tiny selection of mostly celebrity books gets sold everywhere. Prior to the publication of the latest book from the Walliams stable, I heard of various people who were asked by the staff of one high street retailer if they wanted to order it – in spite of having expressed no interest in the book. Others got enticed with free books by other authors if they ordered it in advance.
Celebrity books are as accessible, affordable and aggressively marketed as McDonalds meals. They crowd the shelves of supermarkets and major retailers, elbowing other books out of the way.
It is worth paying careful attention to the tone and insinuation of Baddiel's tweet. His books are 'actually liked and bought by children', unlike these lesser books by less famous people. He doesn't mention which of the featured books he would he have bumped off in order to slide his own in, but I doubt it would be one by anyone he had actually heard of – or read. Also, interestingly, he was complaining about having been missed off The Times list, a publication owned by the same group that publish his children's books.
Hundreds of fellow authors have contacted me in support of this piece, but I am expecting a different reaction from parents. I know from the years I worked in television (with a number of the names mentioned here) that fans consider celebrities to be their friends. They get very protective over them. Also, I am talking about books that have been bought, read and loved.
That's great. It is probably best not to tell her about that time he presented the President's Club or the way in which Little Britain turned the tables on the alternative comedy of the 1980s and made it acceptable to laugh at the weak and powerless again.
For publishers, celebrity names present an attractive prospect. They already have a recognisable brand. They have thousands of followers on social media. They will be invited to all the big literary festivals and interviewed on television and radio. In spite of Baddiel's moan, they are more likely to be reviewed in newspapers. They haven't spent years honing their craft. They have been helicoptered in at the top, pushing more established authors further down to pile. Book prizes often like to have a famous face on the shortlist because it adds a sense of glamour and these days, they can take their pick. Other writers of children's books now include Miranda Hart, Dermot O'Leary, Ben Miller, Julian Clary, Ade Edmonson, Clare Balding Russell Brand and Alesha Dixon.
A strong argument often made in defence of the dominance of celebrity children's authors is that 'anything which gets a book in a child's hands is a good thing'.
There is no doubt that the aggressive marketing of the Walliams brand has led to many children picking up his books, reading and enjoying them. The same goes for the other authors on the list, because it isn't just the likelihood of being invited on Graham Norton that helps sell the books. All these wealthy people received large advances. The publisher then set aside wads of marketing cash to help recoup those costs.
Others argue that the bigger authors help finance the publishers, which means they have money to take on riskier, less known authors. This is basic trickle down economics, and seeing how that has panned out for the world, I don't think we need to waste any more time on that thought.
That is great. I daresay they are very well written, but there are so many authors out there whose books your son would also like, if he had the opportunity to find them. These are books written by people who have dedicated their lives to writing for children. Many are established ambassadors for literacy, libraries and creativity. And let's face it. No 8-year-old has been watching old episodes of The Mary Whitehouse Experience, wondering when the scruffy one is going to bring out a book. The names are selected to appeal to the parents, not the children. They are designed to appeal to you.
So, what am I saying? If Dermot O'Leary wants to write about his pet cat, am I arguing that he should be wrestled to the ground and have his hands glued together? I am not arguing that. Please do not do that. But if your child has enjoyed the adventures of Toto the Ninja Cat, maybe direct them next to the superbly written Varjak Paw by SF Said – or to the ten books in my own series The Ninja Meerkats.
If Ben Miller becomes the latest celebrity name to get an idea from his children, (as so many of them claim) should a band of disgruntled impoverished authors who have dedicated their lives to writing for children sneak into his house and remove all the paper? No, probably not. But if you want a good Christmas book then why not ask your bookshop if they have I Killed Father Christmas by Anthony McGowan.
If Lightning Girl by Alesha Dixon sparks your child's interest then you might want to check out the Electrigirl series by Jo Cotterill.
If your child likes the funny books that come from the stables of Clary and Baddiel, why not try directing them to the genius Stinkbomb & Ketchup series by John Dougherty or the hilarious Picklewitch & Jack by Claire Barker.
And then there are all the rich variety of flavours that aren't catered for by the slim celebrity selection. I'm talking about the weird, the wacky and the wildly imaginative worlds found in the books of Chris Priestley, A.F. Haorld, Rachel Delahaye & Guy Bass.
There are so many great books out there written by writers for whom children's fiction is their prime passion (rather than a secondary income). These are the organic, home-grown, free-range, artisan books – so much more nutritious, richer in flavour (and more sustainably reared) than the tiny range you will find in your supermarket. And all you need to do to find them is to walk into your local book and ask.
By only ever presenting our children with books written by people more famous for doing other things, we are in danger of telling a generation that in order to achieve something (like write a book) you need to be famous, when I think even most celebrities would argue that it should be the other way round.
If publishers need brands, then they need to have more faith in their ability to build them, with reliable authors who will deliver consistently good, daring and exciting books – as well as meeting their deadlines. Children's fiction authors make a living out of lying to children, but I don't think that should extend to lying about what it takes to write a good book. In schools I am often asked about the rejection I had to go through. Both the teachers and the kids want to hear it. It is part of the message that children's authors impart when we visit schools. It is part of our job.
This deliberately patronising follow-up misses the point. The community – from which he so slickly distances himself – feels under attack. This article was written in defence but I am aware that when you take on popular figures, you do so at your own risk. We have created a world where celebrities have real power. This is why so many feel the need to speak out on political issues. Donald Trump's inauguration as US President is a sharp painful reminder of the real-world consequences of the politicisation of fame.
McDonalds is the most successful seller of burgers and fries in the world. Does McDonalds make the best burgers and fries in the world?
No. It is just the most successful brand.
For further reading on this subject, take a look at this article by Dawn Finch, which includes an interview with Tamsin Rosewell, who also features in the piece I recorded for the One Show.
