The Armani range of fragrances has been one of my favourites for years, some I still have are not even available to buy anymore! Armani Diamonds is possibly my best of all the Armani range, when I got to try two variations to the original Diamonds range, I couldn't wait to see what they were like!
Armani Diamonds rocks is an aquatic, fresh take on the popular Diamonds fragrance, it's an invigorating woody and citrus fragrance. The clear glacial bottle cut from a block of ice and includes the recognisable Armani eagle.
For me, Diamonds Rocks is a fresher and more vibrant version of the original Diamonds scent. The marine notes really stand out amongst the top and heart notes. The longevity of the scent is moderate It's freshness makes it an ideal fragrance for daytime wear for the summer months ahead!
The scent kicks in with a fresh zesty opening but then drys down to leave long lasting base notes. For me personally, this scent doesn't have any similarities of the original scent, it's a much darker, oriental and alluring fragrance. The main notes of sweet cardamon and the slightly bitter geranium compliment each other well. It has good longevity and is well suited to wear for evenings out and date night!
Have you tried any of the Emporio Armani fragrance range? Let me know in the comments below.

Encyclopedia > Antigone
There were two women in Greek mythology named Antigone ("like her ancestors"). Both are described below.
In Greek mythology, Antigone was the daughter of Eurytion and wife of Peleus.
Peleus and Telamon, his brother, killed their half-brother Phocus and fled Aegina to escape punishment. In Phthia[?], Peleus was purified by Eurytion and married Antigone, Eurytion's daughter. Peleus accidentally killed Eurytion during the hunt for the Calydonian Boar and fled Phthia.
Peleus was purifed of the murder of Eurytion in Iolcus by Acastus. Also in Iolcus, Peleus lost a wrestling match in the funeral games of Pelias, Acastus' father, to Atalanta. Astydameia, Acastus' wife, fell in love with Peleus but he scorned her. Bitter, she sent a messenger to Antigone to tell her that Peleus was to marry Acastus' daughter; Antigone hanged herself.
Astydameia then told Acastus that Peleus had tried to rape her. Acastus took Peleus on a hunting trip and hid his sword, then abandoned him right before a group of centaurs attacked. Chiron, the wise centaur, returned Peleus' sword and Peleus managed to escape. He pillaged Iolcus and dismembered Astydameia, then marched his army between the pieces.
In Greek mythology, Antigone was the daughter of Oedipus. She has been a popular subject for books, plays and other works, including:
Antigone (Jean Anouilh)
Antigone (Sophocles)
Antigone (opera), by Carl Orff
The overall story is thus:
When Oedipus stepped down as King of Thebes, he gave the kingdom to his two sons, Eteocles and Polynices, who both agreed to alternate the throne every year. However, they showed no concern for their father, who cursed them for their negligence. After the first year, Eteocles refused to step down and Polynices attacked Thebes with his supporters (the Seven Against Thebes). Both brothers died in the battle. King Creon, who ascended to the throne of Thebes, decreed that Polynices was not to be buried. Antigone, his sister, defied the order, but was caught. Creon decreed that she was to be buried alive, this in spite of her betrothal to his son Haemon. Antigone's sister, Ismene, then declared she had aided Antigone and wanted the same fate. The gods, through the blind prophet Tiresias, expressed their disapproval of Creon's decision, which convinced him to rescind his order, and he went to bury Polynices himself. However, Antigone had already hanged herself rather than be buried alive. When Creon arrived at the tomb where she was to be interred, Haemon attacked him and then killed himself. When Creon's wife, Eurydice, was informed of their death she too took her own life.

Abbey's sound and we're back in action!
We never got to the bottom of Abbey's lameness back in January. The heat in her front foot, became heat that came and went in both which lead me to wonder whether it was laminitis.
Nothing about treating Abbey as having laminitis would have done her harm. She was overweight, a weightloss programme was overdue anyway.
I've had the Equilab app for just over a week and used it a couple of times to track our rides. I'd like to use it to see how Abbey's fitness is improving over the coming season. Previously I have used Map My Run…which did the job….kinda.
The Equilab app is available to download for free from your app store.
The first time that I'd used a new app we had a rather exciting hack round the 'big block' as it is known on the yard.
There are many books and articles about bringing your horse back into work after months off due to illness, injury or a change of circumstances. They talk about building fitness slowly, building muscle and aerobic fitness. But what about a short holiday? How fit is a horse after a week or two off? And how quickly can you return to full work?
Abbey and I haven't done much jumping on an angle. Well, not on purpose anyway!
Today's lesson had Abbey and I tackling two fences set on a steep angle.
My RI kept the fences low so if we screwed it up Abbey could trot over them without much effort and without scaring herself.
Like dressage, it's a step by step approach. My RI makes sure that we're confident at each level before moving onto the next.
Our first attempt was in trot and was good. Abbey was, I must admit, slightly confused about where we were going, but responded to my aids and kept going.
This is a huge change from our first year of jumping which involved lots of stops whenever the question (or the look of a fence changed).
By the end we were popping over the two jumps confidently with only one stride between them.
It's been a while since I last posted because my time has temporarily reallocated to demolishing one kitchen and building a new one (boring!).
Abbey has been ticking over. The most exciting things have been our lessons with Sam. And there have been two since my last post.
In the first one we worked on keeping Abbey up and together in trot. He did this by establishing the trot on a circle – going forward and then asking her to slow the pace but keep the power – and then taking it large. We both tend to relax on the long sides of the school and as a result Abbey's hind legs begin to trail, she starts to go flat and hollow and by the end of the 2nd long-side of the arena, other lovely outline has completely unravelled!
Sam also introduced us to renver in this lesson. It always amazes me how quickly Abbey gets the hang of new exercises, when I ask correctly. The tricky bit is getting me to co-ordinate my body to do the asking.
Yesterday we worked solely on me with a biomechanics lesson. As we were doing our warm up, Abbey was doing her usual drifting through the left shoulder. Sam asked 'where is your left seat bone?'. It was a hard question to answer. I knew where I thought my right one was but my left appeared to be absent.
For ages now I've been aware that Abbey has tight muscles in her shoulders and neck.
My barefoot trimmer always mentions it, every physio observes and treats it, and I know from how she is about being touched there.
It's been one of those niggles that has been on the to-do after her ulcers and the tightness in her back and left hamstring.
With those biggies sorted (ulcers with diet and stress management, back with treeless saddle and improved dressage training), it was time to tackle Abbey's tight shoulders and neck.
I've figured that at least part of the problem is the height of the stable door. It's too tall and Abbey has to lift her head up and over.
Our wonderful yard owner made all the stable doors and has been (very understandably) reluctant to take a saw to one. So I've purchased a Shires stall guard.
At first Abbey was suspicious, but after just a few days, I think she rather likes it.
Time will tell whether it helps relieve some her sore muscles.
PS I wouldn't recommend this for a horse that leans into pressure or enjoys making escapes! Atm I park a wheelbarrow outside Abbey's stable to dissuade her from trying to get underneath.


Gynaecologic, urologic, and colorectal surgeons use a wide variety of operative interventions to treat certain disorders of the pelvic floor. However, nearly one third of women undergo repeat surgery to treat urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and/or faecal incontinence.
Women's goals for reconstructive pelvic surgery are personal and highly subjective. Lifestyle factors seem to play a large role, with many women focusing on return to missed activities (''I want to be able to play with my grandchildren'' or ''I want to go back to an exercise routine''), whereas others focused on resolution of the particular problem (''I want the bulge gone'' or ''I don't want to leak when I cough''). For each woman, achievement of patient-selected goals is the primary reason for undergoing surgery. In fact, women's expectations of goal achievement are so strong that even extensive presurgical counseling does not eliminate unrealistic hopes.
Women ''hear'' primarily what interests them. Selective attention may explain why women who are unhappy because of side effects or complications, often state that no one ever told them that this could happen and they were not well prepared for surgery. These women feel that the side effects of surgery were worse than the pre-existing problem. Achievement scores for sexual function, activity, and lifestyle goals highly correlate with satisfaction, whereas concrete goals such as prolapse resolution may not predict satisfaction. This contradict the traditional physician belief that objective cure without serious complications is the best measure of surgical success. In treating a disorder that affects quality of life, the patient's perception of her quality of life and goal achievement appears to affect overall satisfaction more than traditional measures of surgical success. Possibly, aspects of postoperative care such as pain control, management of side effects, and greater preparation for expected events require more careful and timely attention to alleviate patient dissatisfaction.
Patient expectations regarding their treatment and the development of a patient and physicians 'contract' to establish treatment goals prior to surgery or medical therapy, may lead to greater patient satisfaction and provide a more meaningful measure of outcome and consequently offer a definition for 'cure'.

Nuʻupia Pond
Mōkapu Peninsula was divided into three ahupua'a – Kailua, Kāne'ohe and He'eia – these were extensions of the ahupua'a across the large basin of Kāne'ohe Bay.
The original name of the peninsula "Moku-Kapu" was derived from two Hawaiian words: "moku" (island) and "kapu" (sacred or restricted.) "Mokapu" is the contraction of "Moku Kapu" which means "Sacred or Forbidden Island."
In ancient times, three ponds separated Mōkapu Peninsula from the rest of Kaneohe: Nuʻupia, Halekou and Kalupuhi Fishponds, they date to between 1300-1600 AD.
Prior to Polynesian settlement, the ponds were thought to be either a shallow open channel between Kāneʻohe and Kailua Bays, making Mōkapu an island, or an embayment off Kāneʻohe Bay with Mōkapu connected to Oʻahu by a thin coastal barrier dune.
In either case, the Hawaiian settlers used this shallow open water area by subdividing it into several fishponds and a salt-making area, separated by hand-built coral and rock walls.
The ponds were later subdivided by Chinese fishermen who leased the ponds to raise mullet and milkfish; over the years there were up to 18 ponds.
Some of the old dividing walls still remain their shape, but now there are eight ponds: Nuʻupia Ekahi, Nuʻupia Elua, Nuʻupia Ekolu, Nuʻupia Eha, Halekou, Heleloa, Paʻakai and Kaluapuhi.
Late-19th and early 20th-century cattle grazing over most of the Mōkapu Peninsula contributed to erosion and sedimentation, and creation of extensive mudflats.
The ponds are generally referred as Nuʻupia Ponds and are an important site for native and migratory waterfowl, shorebirds and seabirds.
Night heron, koloa, coots, stilts, moorhen, pacific golden plovers, black noddies, great frigatebirds and a large variety of migratory shorebirds, waterbirds and seabirds all utilize the wetland area. Wedge-tailed Shearwaters use the dune areas adjacent to the wetland.
Under military use since World War II, Nuʻupia Ponds became critical stilt habitat that aided their recovery from near extinction. Habitat loss and hunting throughout Hawai'i reduced stilt numbers to about 200 birds statewide by the early-1940s.
A ban on hunting prior to World War II permitted the partial recovery of the population and a high of 128 stilts was recorded in 1948 at Nuʻupia Ponds. There was also a period in late-1957 and early-1958 when, for unknown reasons, no birds were found.
Stilt populations on Oʻahu, including those at Nuʻupia Ponds, have shown a steady increase coincident with active habitat management since the 1980s. About 10 percent of the approximately 1,500 Hawaiian stilts native to the state are found here.
Red mangrove seeds first entered in the area in the early-1970s through culverts connecting the pond complex to adjoining bays. By 1974, the mangrove trees had become a pest species. Mangroves cover intertidal soft substrate in most of the tropics, but are not native to Hawaiʻi.
Red mangroves were first introduced to Hawaiʻi from Florida in 1902 to mitigate erosion after the destruction of coastal vegetation on the island of Molokai by humans and livestock.
In response to that, the Marines turned a nuisance into a training operation.
The 30-year-long Mud Ops exercise has Marine vehicles plowing a checkerboard mosaic of mud mounds surrounded by protective moats of water, providing cover from predators, controlling invasive plant growth and providing birds better access to nesting and feeding grounds.
Today, the ponds are part of the 482-acre Nuʻupia Ponds Wildlife Management Area within the Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi.

Kāne'ohe Bay Dredging
The earliest modifications to the natural marine environment of Kāne'ohe Bay were those made by the ancient Hawaiians.
The construction of walled fishponds along the shore was perhaps the most obvious innovation.
The development of terraces and a complex irrigation network for the cultivation of taro no doubt had an effect on stream flow, reducing total runoff into the Bay.
In general, however, it can be stated that these early changes did not greatly modify the marine environment that existed when man first arrived in the area.
However, dredging in the Bay did.
Records of dredging permits issued by the Army Corps of Engineers began in 1915.
Almost all of the early permits were for boat landings, piers and wharves, including the 1,200-foot wharf at Kokokahi and the 500-ft wharf at Moku-o-Loe (Coconut Island) for Hawaiian Tuna Packers (in 1934.)
Although some dredging was involved in the construction of piers and small boat basins, probably the first extensive dredging was done in 1937 when 56,000 cubic yards were dredged "from the coral reef in Kāne'ohe Bay" by the Mokapu Land Co., Ltd.
The great bulk of all reef material dredged in Kāne'ohe Bay was removed in connection with the construction at Mokapu of the Kāne'ohe Naval Air Station (now Marine Corps Base Hawai'i) between 1939 and 1945.
Dredging for the base began on September 27, 1939, and continued throughout World War II. A bulkhead was constructed on the west side of Mokapu Peninsula, and initial dredged material from the adjacent reef flat was used as fill behind it.
In November 1939, the patch reefs in the seaplane take-off area in the main Bay basin were dredged to 10-feet (later most were taken down to 30-feet.)
Other early dredging was just off the northwest tip of the peninsula, near the site of the "landing mat" (runway.) The runway was about half complete at the time of the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941.
It appears that a fairly reliable total of dredged material is 15,193,000 cubic yards.
(Do the Math … Let's say the common dump truck load is 10 cubic yards … that's a million and an half truckloads of dredge material.)
During the war there had been some modifications of the ponds on Mokapu Peninsula, but the shore ponds around the perimeter of the Bay were spared.
However, from 1946 to 1948 (mostly in 1947) nine fishponds with a total area of nearly 60 acres, were filled, eight of them located in Kāne'ohe ahupua'a in the southern portion of the Bay.
In the Great Māhele, Hawaiian fishponds were considered private property by landowners and by the Hawaiian government.
This was confirmed in subsequent Court cases that noted "titles to fishponds are recognized to the same extent and in the same manner as rights recognized in fast land."
Many of the filled fishponds were developed into residential uses (I'll have more on fishponds in general and some specific ones in future posts.)
There are now only 12 walled fishponds remaining of the 30 known to have once existed in Kāne'ohe Bay and a number of these have only partial remains and are not immediately recognizable as fishponds.

Kainalu Plane Crash
2nd Lt William Wright and Kainalu Elementary School student Steven Schmitz were killed at 8:30 pm, November 20, 1961, when a "Skyhawk" attack bomber crashed in Kailua.
Two marine jet bombers collided over a residential area and one of them crashed into a home, killing the pilot and the 8 year old boy (son of Coast Guard Commander Frank C Schmitz.)
The planes were returning from a run at the target island (Kahoʻolawe). One plane made it back and landed safely with vertical stabilizer and rudder damage, the other plane went down.
In reconstructing the pieces of the plane in a base hangar, it was evident that Lt. Wright survived the initial impact and could have ejected, but chose to stay with his airplane and tried to dead stick it over the town and into Kailua Bay. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful despite the heroic efforts of Lt. Wright. (Norm Spilleth)
A military crash crew reported it was unable to approach the plane for an hour after the crash. The jet hit the house squarely after parts of it fell near the Kainalu Elementary School.
Mrs. Robert Craig, principal of the school, said she heard the jets fly over during the PTA meeting (held that night,) then a loud explosion. She said a fence near the school was set afire and she saw the nearby home in a huge sheet of flame. (Chicago Tribune, November 21, 1961)
The matter was the subject of a public presentation by Dr Paul Brennan at a Kainalu Elementary School PTA meeting.
The following link will take you to a video of the presentation; it is followed by a forum discussion by some of the eye witnesses to the event.
The presentation by Brennan and following discussion by the eyewitnesses gives a broad perspective of what happened.
(I had been a 2nd grade student at Kainalu Elementary the year before – Nelia has been a Kainalu 5th grade teacher for the past 10+ years.) The image shows the sad headline.

Waimanalo Military Reservation was created in 1917 by Presidential Executive Order, and later renamed to Bellows Field in 1933 (named after Lieutenant Franklin Barney Bellows, a war hero who was killed in action during World War I while on a reconnaissance flight near St. Mihiel, France, on September 13, 1918.)
The land was leased from Waimanalo Sugar Plantation. It was used as the bivouac area and a target practice area by the Coastal Artillery, which strung a line of 90-mm guns along the beach. During the 1930s, Bellows was used as a bombing and gunnery range by aircraft from Luke (Ford Island,) Wheeler and Hickam Fields.
Back then, the field was nothing but overgrowth of sugar cane and guava. The only clearings were for training areas and tents where the men slept. It was a training area for the infantry, coast artillery and Air Corps. There was a wooden traffic control tower and a single asphalt runway, 983-feet long and 75-feet wide.
Bellows Field was used for training both air and ground forces. During the mid-1930s the Air Corps chiefly used this area for a strafing and bombing practice site. Those operations extended into 1938, when the total Air Corps personnel on duty only consisted of five to ten men supplied from Wheeler Field.
Bellows was a sub-post of Wheeler Field until July 22, 1941 when it became a separate permanent military post under the jurisdiction of the Commanding General, Hawaiian Department. Overnight, an accelerated construction program began and Bellows began to grow. Two-story wooden barracks and a new and larger runway started filling the landscape.
Bellows was among those installations attacked by the Japanese during the Pearl Harbor attack. The 44th Pursuit Squadron had 12 P-40's located at Bellows on December 7th, 1941. Unfortunately the planes had been flown the day before the attack and the aircraft guns had been removed for cleaning. (Trojan)
Two military members were killed (Lt. Hans Christenson and Lt. George Whiteman) and six wounded at Bellows. They included three pilots of the 44th Pursuit Squadron who were at Bellows for gunnery training and attempted to take off in their P-40s. One of the pilots had to swim to shore when his badly damaged aircraft crashed into the ocean.
Also swimming ashore the next day was the commander of a Japanese two-man midget submarine which grounded on the reef off of Bellows. Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki, captured by Cpt. David Akui and Lt. Paul S. Plybon, was the first US prisoner of war taken in WW II. His companion, Petty Officer Second Class Kiyoshi Inagaki, died and his remains later washed up on the shore. (hawaii-gov)
With the outbreak of war, Bellows was transformed almost overnight into an important facility where aircraft were prepared for their duty in the Pacific Theater. Hundreds of men and aircraft flowed through Bellows requiring more runways and facilities.
Five runways, the longest 6,290-feet, were in two different airfields, connected by a taxiway – they were identified as "Bellows Field (Army)" to the south and "Bellows Field Bombing Range (Emergency)" to the north.
Later (1955,) the north Bellows airfield was "closed" and the south field was labeled simply as "Bellows," without any kind of military designation. The field was also described as "Not attended."
The south Bellows airfield may have been used for some time during the 1950s as a civilian airfield of some type. The runways at Bellows were eventually closed in 1958 and the base was used for other purposes.
In 1960, the U.S. Army built two Nike-Hercules anti-aircraft missile sites at Bellows, which were operated full-time by the Hawaiʻi Army National Guard for the aerial defense of Hawaii until inactivated in 1970. The communications transmitter facility replaced the Kipapa area transmitter and receiver sites. The Army National Guard continued at Bellows until 1995.
Later, Bellows was operated and maintained by members of the 15th Communications Squadron. Its transmitters were the principal ground-to-air link with aircraft (particularly military aircraft) flying to and from Hawaiʻi; and they provided communications for Presidential flights and others carrying high-level government officials. (The facility was decommissioned in the 1980s or 1990s.)
This communications network was one of the reasons the runways at Bellows went out of use; an antenna was located right in one of the runways. In addition, a large communication building was constructed right in the middle of the crossed runways.
The Bellows property was renamed Bellows Air Force Station (AFS) in 1968. In 1970 the US Air Force offered part of Bellows to the State of Hawaiʻi for use as a general aviation airport, but opposition by the nearby Waimanalo community was so strong that the state had to decline.
In 1999, the Marine Corps acquired about 1,050-acres for the Marine Corps Training Area Bellows (MCTAB;) it's now part of Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi, headquartered in Kāneʻohe Bay. MCTAB adds significant training capabilities and maneuver space for non-live fire military training activities.
The Marines and other services use the training areas to conduct amphibious, helicopter and motorized exercises in conjunction with troop land maneuver training. It is currently the only place in Hawaiʻi where amphibious landings can transition directly into maneuver training areas for realistic military training.
The Air Force's property at Bellows is now limited to the recreational facilities. The Bellows Recreation Center is composed of 102 beach cottages, a small exchange & a beach club. Bellows is still depicted as an abandoned airfield on recent Sectional Charts.
The facility also serves as all-service beach-front recreational area for active-duty and retired military personnel, civilian employees of the Department of Defense, dependents and guests.
On most weekends and holidays, the Marines continue a practice started by the Air Force to open the Bellows Beach training area to the general public, in cooperation with the City and County of Honolulu. (Lots of information here from hawaii-gov and Trojan.)

Kāneʻohe Bay Airshow – 2012
The Kāneʻohe Bay Airshow at Marine Corps Base Hawaiʻi will take place on September 29-30, 2012 and is free to the public.
Performances in the Air
US Navy Blue Angels
At the end of World War II, the Chief of Naval Operations, Chester W. Nimitz, ordered the formation of a flight demonstration team to keep the public interested in naval Aviation. The Blue Angels performed their first flight demonstration less than a year later in June 1946 at their home base, Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, Florida.
By the end of the 1940s, the Blue Angels were flying their jet aircraft, the Grumman F9F-2 Panther. In response to the demands placed on Naval Aviation in the Korean Conflict, the team reported to the aircraft carrier USS Princeton as the nucleus of Fighter Squadron 191 (VF-191), "Satan's Kittens," in 1950. Today the Blue Angels fly the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet.
Fat Albert
Transporting Blue Angels maintenance and support personnel, communication equipment and spare parts is a United States Marine Corps C-130T Hercules nicknamed, "Fat Albert Airlines." In past Kaneohe Bay Airshows, Fat Albert has demonstrated its jet-assisted takeoff (JATO) capability which enables the plane to takeoff from as little as 1,500 feet of runway, climb at a steep 45-degree angle, and attain an altitude of 1,000 feet within 15 seconds.
Chuck Aaron
"Malibu" Chuck Aaron is the first and only civilian pilot ever to be licensed to perform helicopter aerobatics in the United States. In fact, he's one of only a handful of pilots permitted to execute the dangerous maneuvers internationally. Chuck is also the first helicopter pilot to be presented with the Art Scholl Showmanship Award, an honor bestowed by the International Council of Air Shows to recognize the world's most outstanding air show performers, and was inducted in 2011 to the prestigious Society of Experimental Test Pilots.
Kirby Chambliss
Kirby Chambliss is noted as one of the best aerobatic pilots in the world. A five-time winner of the U.S. National Aerobatic Championship and a former Men's Freestyle World Champion, he's also fast, world-class fast. Kirby is one of only two American pilots ever to win the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, an international series in which pilots push the envelope by executing aerobatic maneuvers with absolute precision while racing against the clock.
Mike Wiskus
Like many of the show pilots, Mike's passion for aviation started when he was very young. Mike's Dad took him to his first air show at their hometown in Iowa at the age of 10. Thirty two years later, Mike has accumulated more than 24,000 flight hours and has qualified in more than 40 aircraft. Mike keeps a very busy schedule flying for Corporate America as well as keeping a full time air show schedule from April through November.
Hank Bruckner
Hank Bruckner was always captivated by aircraft and flying. He became a flight instructor shortly before retiring from the Air Force in 1990, and began instructing, eventually starting his own flight school—Kaimana Aviation—where he currently teaches aerobatics, unusual altitude recoveries, spins and tailwheel transition training.
Clint Churchill
Clint's flying career began 45 years ago while attending college at the University of Arizona. Upon graduating, Clint joined the Tucson Air National Guard. Two years later he completed USAF pilot training as a Distinguished Graduate. "Sensing the need to keep pulling some Gs," as Clint puts it, he founded Acroflight, Inc. in 1996 and acquired an Extra 300L which he named Onipa'a (strong, steadfast). Clint has provided aerobatic rides to more than 500 customers and performed 24 air shows at various locations in Hawai'i. He has 4,200 flight hours, including 1,100 hours in the Extra.
The son of a career Navy man, Alan Miller's life-long passion for aviation began while growing up aboard Barbers Point Naval Air Station in Hawaiʻi. After two years of anticipation and preparation, Alan and his and crew are pleased to bring his uniquely "local style" two-part performance to Oahu for the very first time during the Kaneohe Bay Airshow in 2012.
Jacquie B
When most people turn 50, they figure it's time to relax and settle into neutral while coasting toward retirement. Not Jacquie B! When Jacquie turned 50, she launched her solo aerobatic career with her one-of-a-kind Pitts Special biplane. Nearly ten years later, Jacquie B is still in this game, and her list of performance dates is growing. Moreover, Jacquie is a powerful inspiration to her two million fans who realize that they, too, can accomplish great things later in life.
Leap Frogs
The U.S. Navy Parachute Team, "Leap Frogs" will be free falling out of an aircraft 12,500 feet from the ground. When free falling, jumpers reach speeds of 180 miles per hour as their body straightens, similar to luge racers. Be on the lookout for the following formations: downplanes, sideplanes, dragplanes, diamonds, big stacks, tri-by-sides, and T formations.
The Flying Leathernecks
The Flying Leathernecks are a group of skydivers who share the passion for jumping. Their 10,000-ft. jump will be a patriotic exhibit including a large American flag, smoke trailers and starburst effects.
Flash Fire Jet Truck
Check out the action as the fire-breathing Flash Fire Jet Truck hits the runway in competition with planes overhead. Will it be wings or wheels that finish first? This act is sure to be a crowd pleaser for all ages, mixing all the fun and entertaining elements of a family friendly circus with a combination of extreme speed and high intensity, fire breathing excitement!
Action on the ground:
Marine Air-Ground Task Force Demonstration
Military Static Displays – Military vehicles and iarcraft
Taste of Oahu Food Booths
Xtreme Fun Children's Carnival Rides
At ALL entry points to the air show flight line, ALL bags will be quickly inspected, and all individuals are subject to search prior to entering the air show flight line.
Please note that large bags and/or backpacks, ice chests and coolers will not be permitted. Small bags, such as purses, fanny packs, and diaper bags (8 1/2 x 11) will be permitted. It is recommended that spectators minimize the number and size of permitted items to reduce the inspection time prior to access into the flight line area.
There will be two entrance lines at each gate. One will be for people carrying bags, or other items to be inspected, and one for those with no inspection items.

Senior forward Will Johnson scored a pair of goals and contributed valuable physical play to help the Badgers collect their first win in six games.
"The great teams are the teams that when the game is on the line, you figure out how to turn it into a W," head coach Tony Granato had said the night before.
It wasn't always pretty, it didn't always look likely, but in the end Wisconsin came away with a win for the first time in six games, and did so in dramatic, roller-coaster fashion.
The Badgers (2-3-1 Big Ten, 6-7-3 overall) traded goals, big hits, and momentum with no. 6 Penn State in a back-and-forth 8-5 victory Saturday night that seemed to mean just a little bit more than usual.
Wisconsin looked down and out after allowing four consecutive second period goals to cough up a 3-1 lead. Penn State had the home team on its heels and had forced starting goaltender Daniel Lebedeff out of the net after his fifth goal allowed on just 19 shots.
The goal that turned the tide was arguably the unlikeliest of the 13 scored on the night. Johnson collected the puck in the corner and attempted to pass it through the crease to linemate Seamus Malone. His pass hit Nittany Lions goaltender Peyton Jones and bounced back, allowing the senior to corral the unintentional rebound and slip it past Jones with just one minute and 15 seconds left in the period.
"They go up 5-3 there and the bench was quiet and we were trying to figure out how to get some energy, that was a big goal," Granato said.
Johnson also played a key role in the game-tying goal, intercepting a pass along the boards from Penn State defenseman Derian Hamilton and starting the play that lead to senior forward Max Zimmer burying the puck before being enveloped in a flying hug-tackle from elated freshman defenseman Ty Emberson.
Zimmer's goal got the Badgers even on the scoreboard with ten minutes remaining, but with the Kohl Center crowd rocking and the Badgers energized on their bench, the emotional momentum was firmly on the home side of the ice.
Wisconsin took advantage just over two minutes later, as Zimmer attempted a pass to Miller that was tipped into the air by a Penn State stick. Calmly as could be, Miller tracked the fluttering puck, caught it and laid it down on the ice before ripping a wrister before the puck had even settled.
Miller's goal proved the game winner, and the freshman's play wowed not just the crowd on hand but his teammates as well.
With more than seven minutes still to play and the nation's top offense breathing down their neck the Badgers didn't let up, as sophomore forward Tarek Baker scored to make it 7-5 before senior defenseman Peter Tischke buried an empty-netter to cap the scoreline.
Johnson finished the game with a standout performance across the stat sheet, racking up two goals, an assist, six shots on goal, a block and a plus-five rating.
"It's always nice to get rewarded. I would take two wins over two goals any day," Johnson said. "It's just fun to see it all work out for the whole team."
Wisconsin locked down Penn State's high-flying offense late, allowing no goals and just six shots in the final 25 minutes of regulation. In the end, the Badgers scored five unanswered goals to collect their first win in nearly a month.

September 11th will be an impossible date to eradicate from the memories of millions across the world. Over 17 years have elapsed since 9 11 and still, the aftermath of its terror is felt to this day.
Retracing back to the Tuesday morning before the 9 11 attacks had transpired, New York City expected a routine day. With bustling streets and vibrant, eager energy, there was no foretelling of the tragedy that was to come. Yet, the day had taken a turn for the worst. A date that once held no true significance, became known for one of the most heinous crimes in American History.
United Airlines Flight 93 would be the first hijacked plane to crash into the World Trade Center's North Tower at 8:46 AM. Less than 20 minutes later, a second hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the South Tower. Nearly 3,000 people died, while over 6,000 people sustained injuries.
Ken Lucianin was one of the many individuals inside the twin towers on 9 11. Just as Flight 11 hit, Ken found himself on the 62nd floor. In many of the memories that he recalls so vividly, he describes himself climbing down the stairs and tapping the helmet of a firefighter to warn him of the people trapped on the 68th floor of the tower. The heavy smoke that began to fill the air made it increasingly difficult to breathe. By this point, seconds began to feel like hours.
The world around was at a standstill, anticipating the next events to come in complete panic and agony. There were heavy feelings of deep helplessness. So many wanted to help, but so many couldn't due to the dangerous circumstances. To witness a city that stood so tall, fall to the very streets that supported its growth, is an unfathomable sight.
However, the 9/11 attacks did not end in New York City. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., while a fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. After the towers collapsed and the plane hits began to spread across the East Coast, the United States of America looked to President George W Bush for hope in a very desolate time.
In days to follow, the area that surrounded the twin towers could have easily been mistaken for a war zone. Armed National Guards were perched at every corner. Streets once full of taxis, commuters, and tourists were now full of ashes and debris. Food, water, phones, and medication became a scarcity. The towers, still burning of fire, produced a toxic smog that made it impossible to breathe.
So many lives were lost and so many families were torn apart. There was no resuming life as anyone once did before. That morning of September 2011 was a morning that stole not only the trust of New York City but the trust of so many around the world. Moving on from the great losses felt like a long road ahead for countless Americans.
In the months after the attacks, doubt became a common theme. Every person in New York City was suspicious of those around them. Every bag and an unattended piece of luggage at an airport became a potential danger in the eyes of the American people. Planes that were just another part of the blue sky above became a reason for New York Citizens to scour for safety. Nothing was the same.
Eventually, the high tension began to settle. In honor of the tragedy and lives lost, thousands of people around the world ventured to see New York City in its darkest moments. So many sent their love and prayers for healing; so many still do to this day. You can now visit the Reflecting Pools, 9/11 Memorial Museum and the Freedom Tower/One World Trade Center in New York City. Memorial ceremonies are orchestrated each year to remember the victims of this unprecedented tragedy.
As an old saying once went, so it goes: "It is always darkest before dawn".
This year, in her hometown of Passaic, Chiane Anderson, born on September 11, 2001, sang "God Bless America" to remember the loss of so many innocent lives. Chiane successfully brought light to a day so many perceive as a great misfortune. Although she cannot recall 9 11, she still understands the magnitude of the event and the importance of family.
The ones who survived as Ken Lucianin did now have an immeasurable sense of gratitude and appreciation for life. "Don't be afraid to say you're sorry," explained Ken "And don't be afraid to tell someone you love them".
When tragedy strikes, hope swoops in. New York, although once in great sorrow, never divided. Lower Manhattan, most affected by the attacks, evolved tremendously over the years. It's impossible to imagine New York then and Lower Manhattan as we know it today.
Since September, 17 years ago, the number of New York citizens has grown, as well as the number of residential housing units. The health care and social services sector has tripled with the number of jobs and the number of tourists has risen. To date, The One World Trade Center Observatory had attracted 2.3 million visitors in its first year of operation.
Lower Manhattan has become a home to many different companies and industries. Many well-known names include Spotify, MediaMath, HarperCollins and Condé Nast. This area is especially appealing to a younger workforce due to improved transportation over the years. It is now easy to access both Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Since then, many new schools, both private and public, have opened in the area, becoming a lure for many families. Although NYC's great symbol of world trade and peace was destroyed in a vicious attack, the city of New York bounced back graciously as ever.
Osama Bin Laden, born in Saudi Arabia, was known to the prime suspect in the attacks on The World Trade Center Towers. Although Osama, along with his accomplices, had attempted to destroy a city, they never could fully destroy our nation's spirit and devotion for peace.
Together, as one, we are stronger than we ever have been before. New York City is a beacon of freedom and equal opportunities for everyone. America's commitment to those ideals can only continue to be strengthened. This past 9/11 – New York, Los Angeles, Virginia, and Malibu were many areas of the U.S. that honored the memory of those lost with sentimental memorials.
Despite much adversity, New York has never surrendered its unwavering faith. The ones who remain and survived 9/11 continue to be the voices of freedom and diversity for America. Ken Lucianin is proud to be an advocate for equality and peace.
Today, tomorrow and always – we will never forget.

Deputy sheriff Tom Lord knows by now that far-west Texas is the place he'll always call home. He's spent too much time in the region's small towns to adapt to another place. And that's all right with him. What's not all right is being a deputy sheriff, where if it weren't for family misfortune, he might have been a doctor instead.
Lord's got one ace-in-the-hole -- the land deed that makes him the biggest landowner in the county, just as the oil companies have started to move in.
When Tom's approached by Aaron McBride of Highlands Oil and Gas with a contract to set up pipelines on his property, he's more than happy to sign on the dotted line with barely more than a cursory glance at the paperwork -- it just might be Lord's way out of a life he never wanted in the first place. But when Lord finds out just what that contract entailed, things start to go sour for Aaron McBride -- and fast. Because in this Texas town, Lord's the law -- and there's nothing more dangerous than a cop with nothing left to lose.

Stylist Jay Manuel Shares His Fall Fashion Trends With Haute Living: All About The Half-Tuck & 70s Luxury
Celebrity stylist and star of America's Next Top model Jay Manuel recently spoke to Haute Living about this fall's most fabulous fashions trends and lucky for the Haute Couture fans, it's all about luxury!
"It's all about being luxurious this fall, from the fabrics, to the silhouettes, to the colors, to the styling," says Manuel. "It's an interesting place to be especially coming out a recession but the consumer really demanded that fashion go this way. Everything has come back with luxe feel. Fashion truly is entertainment. It's not about need, it's about want and living a fantasy."
Layering is one of the biggest luxury trends this season for men, particularly, the "half-tuck," aka, leaving one side of the shirttails or sweater untucked. The look is inspired by the character Nathan Drake who rocks the half-tuck look on the PlayStation video game Uncharted 3 and has been seen all over runways from high-end designers such as Louis Vuitton and Polo Ralph Lauren.
'When you are layering and really playing with luxury, you want to make sure you can see all your elements; maybe a great belt buckle, cashmere sweater, piping- you want to see all the details," says Manuel. "The half-tuck is very upscale because you get to see all the luxury."
Celebs like David Beckham and Kanye West have both been seen rocking this sophisticated style, also dubbed the "front tuck" in the September issue of Details.

And for the ladies, it's all about 1970s style glamour. No more sloppy sweaters, not more boho sheets. The look is tailored, high end and polished with pops of bright colors.
"This fall is a nod back to the luxurious 70s. Luxe fabrics, draping, printed silks with bright colors," he says. "Every designer is showing a wider leg trouser, which is universally more flattering than the skinny. And the color block trend is exciting and beautiful."

Lucky dog: Sponsors providing canine cheeseburgers
Sponsors step up to provide canine treats
By Jill Moon
Updated 12:42 pm CST, Sunday, December 20, 2020
A dog at Hope Animal Rescues receives a sandwich during "Sue's Cheeseburger Day", when dogs at the shelter receive McDonald's cheeseburgers.
GODFREY — Besides the consistent loving treatment that Hope Animal Rescues' canine creatures receive every day while under Hope's care, a dedicated volunteer added an occasional indulgent treat, kind of like humans do: McDonald's.
Hope Rescues volunteer Sue Nonn, of Granite City, started something that has become known as "Sue's Cheeseburger Day," when no more than twice a month the Hope dogs of the Godfrey rescue shelter, get some "table food," a rare treat.
"It started with a sweet little 'bait dog,' named Gemma," recalled Nonn, of the inspirational animal that had been used and abused to fuel the cruel blood sport of dog fighting until Hope Animal Rescues saved Gemma.
"I would take her for a ride, to get a burger, and pick up some for her friends in her Hope Rescues' building."
Occasionally Nonn would buy two Hope buildings-worth of Mickey D's burgers at once, until all Hope's buildings of animals were fed a round of cheeseburgers.
"On my 60th birthday, last year, a lot of people bought me McDonald's gift cards," Nonn explained, "so that is probably the first time I bought 'a round' for the entire Hope complex.
"I then went back to buying for one building, which consists of 16 dogs at a time, each time. Then, once Gemma found her 'furever home,' I would do it sporadically, mostly on holidays and long weekends, over the last two long-weekend holidays. Then, I thought, 'What the hell?,' and bought 'another round.'"
At that point, a friend of Nonn's asked how much it would cost to sponsor a "cheeseburger day," coining a phrase that has come to define Nonn's effort as "Sue's Cheeseburger Day."
Godfrey resident John Hill was the first to sponsor a cheeseburger day and this week, on Tuesday, Gillespie resident Mary Lou Hamilin became the latest.
Organically Nonn's new Hope Rescues' effort grew, for all of the Hope dogs to be treated to a cheeseburger.
"Many people saw — and loved — the pictures of the dogs we posted on Facebook, getting their cheeseburgers,"said Hope Rescues' Jackie Spiker, who co-founded the 100% donation-supported nonprofit rescue with Kim Lee.
"They wanted to sponsor a cheeseburger day," Spiker said of those supporters. "We get plain cheeseburgers — there is no onion, or other condiments, on them. What I always say is, 'They aren't good for them, but neither is my ice cream,' but I still eat it. It's a treat.
"What is wrong with a little 'street' dog food?" Spiker asked. "Most of these dogs have been tossed on the side of the road. In moderation, it won't hurt them."
To donate funds and sign up to have a "Sue's Cheeseburger Day" in your honor, visit hoperescues.org/ways-to-help and/or Hope Animal Rescues Facebook page. Hope Rescues will contact you to let you know approximately when your Cheeseburger Day will be. On that day, the rescue will announce it at its Facebook page, with the name of the sponsor, along with a collection of photos of the dogs getting — and loving — their little feast.

Home / News / Audit confirms UK digital economy is driven by southern England
Audit confirms UK digital economy is driven by southern England
A new government-sponsored Science and Innovation Audit (SIA) has revealed that the South of England – Innovation South, is the backbone of UK's digital economy. Stretching from Dorset to Kent and from Berkshire to the Isle of Wight, Innovation South covers eight counties across southern England, with a total economic output of £225.3 billion, accounting for 13.7% of UK's economic output.
The audit report released by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), presented evidence to illustrate that the Innovation South area is at the forefront of advances in digital innovations across a wide range of industrial sectors that can transform and improve our daily lives – from augmented reality devices which help train surgeons doing knee replacements to robotic submarines that are helping to combat global warming; from driverless shuttle buses to some of the fastest growing creative digital communities.
Dr Mike Short CBE, Vice President Telefonica, Europe and Chairman of the Innovation South Strategic Steering Group said: "The Science & Innovation Audits are very important to uncover underlying sector strengths in our huge region, and to identify opportunities for better collaboration and sustainable growth across the UK. Now that our Audit is complete, our primary focus is on following up with pragmatic steps to progress our partnership and implement the recommendations of the Audit. We are confident that with the great support we have had from Industry, Universities, and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP), we can build on the Audit to maximise opportunities for our region in the future."
SIA demonstrates that Innovation South stands out in the UK for its expertise across a range of digital enabling technologies, including 5G, Cyber security, Big Data, Photonics and Quantum. The region's strengths in digital enabling technologies, are commercially applied across four sectors, which include Connected Digital, Marine and Maritime, Bioscience and Advanced Engineering. The result is a high growth, high value and a highly successful knowledge-based regional economy, with outstanding potential for further innovation and growth – if all assets are successfully integrated.
Innovation South is a national asset, attracting many global corporations to locate their UK and European headquarters. The economic area has the largest share of foreign direct investment projects in the UK, outside of London, with a robust export performance supported by strong links to London and international markets via Channel Tunnel in Kent, Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton airports, as well as the Port of Southampton. The audit recommends that sustaining the success of Innovation South, and driving its innovation-led productivity even further, is critical to the success of the UK's digital economy and the nation's competiveness in global markets.
Business Minister Lord Prior said: "The Science and Innovation Audits we are publishing today highlight the innovative strengths in regions across the UK and the significant growth and investment opportunities they present.
"Together with our record investment of an additional £4.7 billion for research and development to 2020/21, we are working closely with regional businesses and partners to ensure the ambitions set out in these reports are delivered to maintain our status as a science powerhouse."
Innovation South is one of eight science and innovation audits across the UK. They have been commissioned by BEIS to help inform government's investment decisions based on established areas of regional strengths that may stimulate productivity and economic growth.

Philadelphia's Islamic community weighing response to terrorist attacks in France
By Michael Phillis
France Terror Attacks
Members of Philadelphia's Islamic community are discussing how and whether to address the terrorist attacks in France, according to Jacob Bender, executive director of the Philadelphia chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"At the moment … there is continual discussion in all facets of the community that we are in touch with," Bender said.
That dialogue is occurring as news that the suspects linked to a terrorist attack at a French newspaper and hostage-taking in a Paris kosher market have been killed.
Bender said his organization had already condemned the attacks.
"Violence done by extremists doesn't represent the 1.6 billion Muslims around the world," he said.
The Philadelphia chapter of the Anti-Defamation League said they had not received any calls concerning discrimination or attacks on area Muslim residents.
"We would get calls from people because of our civil rights work," said Robin Burstein, ADL associate regional director. "Potentially someone who overheard something or felt they were being mistreated by coworkers … they would contact us about advice on how to respond more than anything."
A local professor said anti-Muslim sentiments in France are present in parts of the right-wing community. Sean L. Yom, an assistant professor of political science at Temple University, said mainstream French culture, however, recognizes the extremist views of terrorists are not representative of the larger Muslim population even though some groups are calling for muslims to be deported.
"Not everyone in the west is looking at the shootings and thinking about religion first and the shooters second," Yom said. "In France it's generally the other way around. They're looking at the shooters. It's really about their individual networks, their families (and) who they got support from."
PhillyVoice Staff Writer John Kopp contributed to this report.

The Mark, which is known for its 5-star hotel service, was built in 1927. It was designed by Schwarts & Gross, the very famous architect known for building many luxury apartment buildings on Manhattan's Upper East Side including 941 Park and 150 E 72nd Street.
Its bottom floors are a hotel, while its top floors were converted to luxury condominiums during a recent conversion. In 2008, The Mark reopened from closing its doors to do a full, overall makeover, both inside and out, spearheaded by the Mandarin Hotel Group and Jacques Grange, a French designer. New features include modern appliances, a new bar and restaurant on the lobby level, Bar Mark, custom furnishings, an updated fitness center, and much more.
Located on the most coveted part of Manhattan's Upper East Side, this building has a lot to offer in terms of the neighborhood, including world class dining, boutique shopping, incredible entertainment, and easy access to grocery stores, public transportation, parks and shops. If you love dining out, you'll be interested to hear about these famous, Zagat rated restaurants, which are just steps from your front door: Daniel, Sistina, Café Boulud, Candle 79, and many more. If you love shopping, all of the world famous brands have boutiques that are just a few minutes' walk away.
Homes in this building range in size from studios with one bathroom, to 10,000 square foot, six bedroom homes with eight bathrooms, so if you need a big home. If you need a large apartment on the Upper East Side in a condop building this building has a lot to offer you. Wall mounted panels for light and air conditioning/heating control are another benefit of the recent remodel. Many homes feature breakfast rooms, galleries, eat-in kitchens, formal dining rooms, and the occasional media room.
If you are interested in renting or purchasing a home at The Mark, call us at (646) 568 – 7175, and one of our experienced agents would be happy to help you through the process. Since this building is a condop, there is a bit of extra paperwork involved in moving in that can be tricky, but an agent can handle the details.

Q: Convert int to string in win32 API i'm trying to display in client area of my window app for example a system local hour.
In rezult I get an error: IntelliSense: argument of type "CHAR *" is incompatible with parameter of type "LPCWSTR"  at TextOut function(parameter 4).
Can somebody help me?
case WM_PAINT:

    hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
       SYSTEMTIME lt;
       GetLocalTime(&lt);
       CHAR info[20] ;
       _itoa(lt.wHour,info,16);
       TextOut(hdc,200,200,info,strlen(info));
    EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);}

break;

A: You are compiling your program for Unicode which means that Win32 functions that operate on text are mapped to wide versions. So TextOut is a macro that expands to TextOutW and expects UTF-16 encoded const wchar_t* text. But you are providing 8 bit text.
A simple fix is to call the ANSI version of TextOut, namely TextOutA.
TextOutA(hdc, 200, 200, info, strlen(info));

But in the longer run you might consider sticking to the native wide API. This would require you to use wide versions of any text processing functions. You would also do well to avoid itoa and start using standard C++ methods for converting between text and integer.
For example, using C++11 you could use std::to_wstring.
std::wstring hour = std::to_wstring(lt.wHour);
TextOut(hdc, 200, 200, hour.c_str(), hour.length());

A: Usually what you'll want is to use the wide-character alternative to _itoa().  In this case, you'd want _itow(). Reference.
So you'd do it like this:
case WM_PAINT: {
    hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
    SYSTEMTIME lt;
    GetLocalTime(&lt);
    WCHAR info[20];
    _itow(lt.wHour, info, 16);
    TextOut(hdc, 200, 200, info, wcslen(info));
    EndPaint(hdc, &ps);
}
break;

Particularly, note the use of WCHAR instead of CHAR, _itow() instead of _itoa() and wcslen() instead of strlen().
Also, note the distinction of the length of the string "in characters" (as the documentation of TextOut() points out) and its length "in bytes".  In a so-called "Ansi string", they are identical, but in WCHAR strings they are different (each character in the BMP takes two bytes; each character outside of the BMP takes four).
Otherwise, the code is directly analogous.  In time you'll get the hang of using these wide-character string functions rather than the regular ones when programming using UTF-16.

BTS Unveils Documentary of New Album Production Process
Credit: Big Hit Entertainment
A documentary about the production process of BTS fourth full-length album, Map Of The Soul: 7, has been released.
On Feb. 22, Big Hit Entertainment released a documentary video "On Comments Film: Dialogue" at 6 p.m. through its official YouTube channel and fan community "BTS Weverse."
The 18-minute video will feature a recording engineer, a marching band and a gospel choir as well as the music director who participated in the working process of Map of the Soul: 7 and its title track "ON." During interviews done throughout the video, they tell the story of the power and the positive influence of BTS music.
The behind-the-scenes footage contains the recordings of a marching band and a gospel choir for their recent song, as well as all members on the "Love Yourself: Speak Yourself" tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last year.
It also drew attention with video footage of the recording process of "Danger," the title track of BTS' first full-length album Dark & Wild, released in 2014. The studio where the members were at the time was the same place as the one they have used for the documentary, which makes it even more meaningful.
"You can feel their hearts when you hear their song," stated Big Hit Entertainment. "The fact that BTS can communicate with music beyond the language shows us that they can convey emotion through their music with people from all around the world."

An introduction to economics as a moral science
An introduction to economics as a moral science James E. Alvey 2000-12-01 00:00:00 Mainstream economists now consider their discipline to be a technical one that is free from ethical concerns. I argue that this view only arose in the twentieth century. In this paper I set out a brief history of economics as a moral science. First, I sketch the evolution of economics before Adam Smith, showing that it was generally (with the exception of the mercantilists) conceived of as a part of moral philosophy. Second, I present elements of the new interpretation of Smith, which show him as a developer of economics as a moral science. Third, I show that even after Smith, up to the beginning of the twentieth century, a number of leading economic theorists envisioned economics as a moral science, either in theory or in practice. Fourth, I sketch the decline of economics as a moral science. The key factor was the emergence and influence of positivism. Overall, I show that the current view of the detachment of economics from morals is alien to much of the history of the discipline. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Social Economics Emerald Publishing http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/emerald-publishing/an-introduction-to-economics-as-a-moral-science-ggcaMsA0R6

"James Carr"
America's new Soul Man James Carr has come a mighty long way in a very short time. lt, only been three years since James' first Goldwax hit 'You've Got My Mind Messed Up' made its debut on the Soul and Pop charts, but there's hardly been a time since that he, been off those charts. The nine R&B hits James has racked up since 1966 (most of which have also fared very well on the Hot 100) place him high on the list of the most popular singers to have come out of Memphis, Tennessee since Rhythm & Blues became Soul not long ago. He is, without doubt, the flagship male singer of the Goldwax Record Company, and all of us at the label could not be more proud of James, what he has achieved and how quiddy he has achieved it.
With his friend and manager, songwriter Roosevelt Jamison, James came knocking on the door of the home of Goldwax founder and President Quinton M Claunch one rainy Memphis night in 1964, and auditioned for him on the spot with no accompaniment. Quinton liked what he heard, and inked the young man to a recording contract right away.
James' first couple of Goldwax 45s suffered from insufficient distribution, and did not fare too well outside of Memphis - but a new distribution deal with Bell Records brought him and Goldwax instant chart success with 'You've Got My Mind Messed Up' that has continued consistently up to his latest 45, his version of Australian group the Boo Goes' 'To Love Somebody', which is still climbing the charts at the time of writing.
In between those hits James has scored with a number of songs that are already highly rated, and that many believe will come to be revered as Soul classics by generations to come.Those songs in-clude 'Love Attack'. 'Let It Happen', James' duet with Betty Harris (performing courtesy of Sansu Records) on 'I'm A Fool ForYou', 'Pouring Water On A Drowning Man' and, above all, Dan Penn and Chips Moman's beautiful 'The Dark End Of The Street' - all of which were recorded either in studios around town in Memphis or just a few miles down the road with our friends in Muscle Shoals, Al-abama. We at Goldwax believe these records will stand the test of time, and that they will be as popular more than 50 years from now as they have been in recent years.
Under the personal guidance of Quinton Claunch, James' career is continuing to go from strength to strength.This may be a "Greatest Hits" album but we feel we should really be addiing "Volume One" to the title, as everyone at Goldwax believes there will be many more chartbound sounds to come from this personable young Memphian. For now though, here's your chance to enjoy every one of James' hits to date, along with a selection of equally fine songs that have been among the most requested fan favourites at his many live shows.
Goldwax Records is both proud and happy to present The Best Of James Carr - so far!

If you're a fan of high concept sci-fi, you're probably a fan of director Neill Blomkamp. The South African filmmaker made quite a splash with his 2009 debut film District 9, which was one of the few sci-fi films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. Though his follow-up films—Elysium and Chappie—didn't quite rise to the level of his first, the latter of those two began his working relationship with sci-fi queen Sigourney Weaver, a partnership that has now yielded this excellent short film titled Rakka.
I won't spoil the particulars, other than to say that if you've longed to see Sigourney fight aliens once again, stop reading and go hit play already. Blomkamp is using this to launch his new Oats Studios, which he hopes will eventually become a more interactive movie studio than any other. His plans are to begin releasing these shorts to the Steam, a gaming platform, which will give people the opportunity to recut and reedit the shorts however they see fit. For more on this concept, click here to read an interview with Blomkamp.
If you fancy yourself a fan of science fiction and genre filmmaking, I would encourage you to set aside 20 minutes to check out this awesome little short. It's a down and dirty little piece of filmmaking with some killer effects.
