Surrogate(s) role will be to support audience development strategies, help us to get in touch with marginalised groups in your communities, share word of the performances and the accompanying advance workshop/post-show platform, and via social media (if applicable), and attend these activities as ambassadors of the company.

Wellness Report
The Insidious Enemy
If not addressed soon, the growing burden of non-communicable diseases will take a heavy toll on people, productivity & growth
Dr. Prathap C. Reddy New Delhi Print Edition: June 30, 2019
India stands tall for its unbridled potential and is well poised to be a leading economy very soon. However, an insidious enemy is lurking - the looming threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) - and we need to work together to strike it down.
A report by the World Health Organization estimates that cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and other NCDs account for 60 per cent of all deaths in India. Moreover, NCDs account for about 40 per cent of all hospital stays and roughly 35 per cent of all recorded outpatient visits. Also, 20 per cent women and 27 per cent men aged between 30 and 70 also run the risk of dying from one of the four major NCDs. According to a World Economic Forum study, the world would spend $30 trillion by 2030 to combat NCDs, and India's share would be $4.8 trillion.
India must get its act together, and an immediate imperative is to rapidly heighten people's awareness, besides identifying and managing diabetes, coronary diseases and all types of cancer. It is important to note that these diseases affect not only health but also productivity and economic growth. Last year, under the landmark Ayushman Bharat Yojana, the government announced that 1,50,000 primary health centres would be converted into health and wellness centres as early detection is the key to managing chronic diseases and saving lives. Staying diabetes-free is prudent, and likewise, most cancers can be conquered if detected early. Hence, mandating regular health screening for everyone aged above 25 could be considered by the government.
As a clinician, I have witnessed the devastating impact of such diseases, and ever since, I have been passionately committed to preventive healthcare. Forty years ago, we had introduced a 'master health check' even before the launch of our first hospital in Madras (now Chennai); it was an annual screening to detect diseases early on and assess risk factors. Since then, Apollo has screened over 30 million individuals, and the government has honoured this achievement with a commemorative postal stamp. However, we are aware of the long road ahead.
Health is an individual and a collective responsibility. Therefore, the way to healthy living must be taught and inculcated in school programmes. For instance, Apollo SHINE works with academic institutions and provides health information to students and faculties.
Corporate India should also embrace preventive healthcare like it is another fiscal responsibility and take focussed steps to ensure that every employee undergoes regular health checks. This should also include their families and loved ones. At Apollo, we have initiated a programme wherein preventive health screening is being done for each of our 85,000 employees and also for their families and then followed up for another two years. We believe that in the long run, it will pay excellent dividends in terms of productivity and hope other organisations emulate our model.
Every individual should understand, appreciate and cherish his/her health and well-being. A shift in the mindset is required for nurturing good health instead of just battling a disease as close to 90 per cent of NCDs are preventable.
Currently, NCDs are equally prevalent across rural and urban India. By focussing on prevention, early detection and an integrated approach to healthcare, the incidence of NCDs can be brought down. Due to concerted efforts, Apollo's Total Health Foundation has witnessed success in Thavanampalle Mandal (in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh), achieving a 20 per cent decrease in incidence of NCDs in 36 months. This reaffirms the need to live a healthy life and be mindful of NCDs. Empowerment of the community through effective health education and use of trained public health personnel along with the provision for community insurance will help in controlling the growing prevalence of NCDs and battling the sinister enemy.

For many people, gambling is harmless and fun, and just another way to let their hair down and relax. But for some people, gambling can become an addiction. And when it becomes an addiction, the cost of the gambling can become too great.
A person may have a gambling problem when they keep gambling despite being aware of negative outcomes in their life. This usually means the gambling is causing conflict with a spouse, with friends, or at work. It might mean the person is running up debts that make managing their or their family's needs very difficult. They might be borrowing money to gamble, or even stealing money.
A gambling addiction can gradually take over a person's life. It can destroy their reputation, their relationships and their financial security. What may start off as a bit of fun can end up being very destructive.

How Do You Choose The Best Speargun?
The AB Biller Speargun has exceptional craftsmanship and is much more durable than plastic alternatives. It is very versatile and comes in different sizes for different styles of spearfishing.
Spearfishing has become a popular sport for those residing near coastal waters and tourists alike. The tools used for this sport have come a long way from the traditional handheld wooden spears, and a variety of spear gun types exist on the market now for the tech savvy fisherman.
There's so many options on the market, making a choice can be tough. We created this guide to help de-mystify spearguns.
Choosing the best speargun takes research, so we did that part for you! However, you still have to have an idea of what you're looking for.
In this guide you'll learn what best spearfishing guns are good for what applications.
If you are looking for a quick pick, here is a summary of our picks for the top spear guns currently on the market.
Lightweight, pneumatic spear fishing gun. Suited for all skill levels, and comes in 3 sizes. Ideal for fishermen who do not prefer band powered guns but still want something lightweight and effective.
Exceptional craftsmanship. Much more durable than plastic alternatives. It is very versatile and comes in different sizes for different styles of spearfishing. Best for those who want top quality.
Comes in an assortment of sizes, where smaller ones come in at a very affordable price point. It offers excellent performance and is suitable for small - medium size fish. Good for beginners or intermediate spear fishers.
A more price conscious band powered gun, the Hammerhead Proteus is a great starter spear gun. It is accurate and effective, but is missing some features you'll find on pricier models. Best for beginners.
A high end speargun with that's as versatile as it is beautiful. Ergonomic adjustable grip to fit the user perfectly. Comes with a spear, reel and line included. Very accurate. Best for experienced spear fishermen looking for an upgrade.
Things to put into consideration when purchasing the best spear gun on the market, is the kind of fish being hunted. Big or small? River fish or oceanic dwelling ones? Experience of the fisherman. Are you a beginner or a well weathered spear fisher? And the type of spear gun that best suits the fishing environment and skill level.
There are two main different types of spear guns available. The first one is the pneumatic system gun. These spear guns are powered by air pressure and are great for long distance shots and hunting bigger fish. This style of spear gun was very popular in the 1960's and 1970's but recently, its popularity has decreased because they can be difficult to aim, can make noise when shot and scare surrounding fish, and certain models may be difficult and time consuming to load.
The second variety of spear gun is the rubber powered or the band powered gun. They are powered with a band, (like a rubber band, hence the name) and are very popular among fisherman throughout the world. They are very easy to maintain, easy to load and add power, and they are easy to aim and have high accuracy.
The rubber powered spear gun comes in a variety of three different models, which are, the European Style, the Rail, and the American Style.
The European style spear gun was obviously widely popular in European countries, but it has made its debut in America and is quickly gaining popularity. This style of gun is perfect for smaller fishes no bigger than ten pounds, and is easy to load, maintain, and use. The only downside of the European Model is that its smaller shaft size may be damaged if a larger fish is hit.
The Rails style of spear gun is a more recent innovation in the world of spear fishing and is very popular in South Africa and Australia. The Rail was developed from the European model, but was updated to have a stronger shaft, and more power to target larger fishes at a greater distance. The one downside with Rail model spear guns, is that since it has more power and a better chance at accuracy, its mechanisms can be noisy when used.
The American style was developed to 'hunt larger game' and is a reliable weapon of choice for the aquatic sportsman. Described as "All American, all around" this spear gun is said to have more power, better accuracy, and a more durable body and shaft.it has a wooden body and can hold more bands for a more intense shot compared to the European model. It is also larger and is ideal for hunting larger fish. Downsides to this model is that the size can cause some drag when aiming, and since it is able to hold more bands and put out a powerful shot, that doesn't come without some noise.
In 2018 these five spear gun models received the best reviews and proved to have the best performance, and are quickly becoming favorites among beginner and advanced fisherman a like.
The AB Wood Mahogany Special Spear Gun is renowned in the fishing community for its exceptional craftsmanship, and its durability. Its wooden body is said to be built like a tank, and since it is solid wood, not plastic like many other models, the AB Wood Mahogany is extremely durable and needs little maintenance. Though mahogany is in this model of spear gun's name, it is available in three wood body varieties. These include, mahogany, Teak, and Padauk.
Mahogany gives the spear gun a pleasant brown appearance, and is the original wood of this model. But for those who would like a lighter wood grain, the teak option is the best choice. Padauk is a deep cherry color showcasing its interlocking grain patterns. The mahogany wood body is accented by three coats of polyurethane to bring out the shine and provide a classy finish, while the teak and Padauk models are hand rubber with boiled linseed oil to enhance their color and unique grain textures.
This AB Biller Wood Mahogany comes with a doubled barbed tip in stainless steel and two rubber slings. This rubber mechanized spear gun also allows for interchangeable tips. It has a stainless steel shaft, and is available in sizes from twenty four inches, up to the larger sixty inch version. The range of the gun correlates from it's size, so for longer range spear fishing, it is best to get a larger size. For leisurely spear fishing, the smaller sizes are ideal.
Many sizes of fish have been able to be caught using the AB Wood Mahogany Spear Gun, from smaller fish ranging from ten inches, to larger fish ranging from eighteen inches and beyond. Reviews of this spear gun rave about its ability to accurately nab a variety of fish easily, and have very few complaints about its performance. This model is also perfect for beginners and expert spear fishers, with its simple design and mechanics, and high quality crafting.
Cressi is another brand that has a massive following for it's spear gun models, and one of their most popular is the Cressi Geronimo Elite Spear Gun. With a higher price point, the Geronimo Elite is a considered a high end spear gun, but even with it's elite status among spear gun models, the Cressi Geronimo doesn't skip on function.
Composed of Swedish steel, the Cressi Geronimo Elite Spear Gun is extremely adjustable to work for all kinds of spear fisherman. The most popular adjustment option of the Cressi Geronimo Elite includes an ergonomic adjustable grip, that can be changed to suit varying gloves sizes thicknesses and hand sizes. The spear gun is also suited with left and right handed capabilities.
Another aspect that has multiple positive reviews is the fact that once shot, and a hit is made, the fish can be reeled in. The Spear gun comes equipped with a 6.25mm shaft, made from heat treated Swedish steel, but can be switched out for a larger size if needed, if you plan on bringing in larger fish. Like many rubber powered spear guns, it does come with two bands, but for added power, more bands can be added. The Cressi Geronimo Elite is even able to work with just one band for smaller fish spearing.
The Cressi Geronimo Elite Spear Gun is a larger investment than most, but this model is still believed to be a great deal among spear fishers. It is the most expensive speargun on this list, but it is also made with premium quality materials and packs a punch. The spear gun also arrives with a spear, reel, and line already included, which saves some money as most of those must be bought separately with competing models.
The spear guns steel body is highly durable, and this provides precise accuracy when in use. It is designed to decrease kickback, which helps limit any noise, to make a fishing trip successful and easy. It is one of the most popular spear guns on the market currently.
Another poplar model from Cressi is their SL Star Spearfishing Spear Gun. Unlike the Geronimo Elite model from Cressi, the SL Star Spearfishing Spear Gun is pneumatic, rather than band powered, and though it has a more complicated firing mechanism, the Cressi SL Star Spearfishing Gun is still very lightweight, weighing around three pounds. In its price and weight class, it could be considered one of the best pneumatic speargun options you have.
When this model was being designed, Cressi wanted to make sure it could help increase the safety of the diver, especially in murky conditions, and to execute that, the designers opted to have the handle of the gun to be a bright neon yellow. That color shows up well in murky conditions and can be seen easily from the surface if the fisherman and their boat become separated during a dive. The yellow coloring also allows for easy retrieval of the gun after shooting if it happens to fall out of the grip. But it also comes with a lanyard to attach to the handle to prevent such incidents from occurring too frequently.
The Cressi SL Star Spearfishing Spear Gun is available in three sizes. The smallest size is 40mm, with a mid range size of 55mm and the largest size is 70mm. Size decisions depend on the kind of fish being speared, and the SL Star can successfully reel in fish of varying sizes with little damage to the spear gun.
This spearfishing gun is a popular choice for those who don't like band powered guns. If this is your style, it is suited for just about any skill level.
The Hammerhead Proteus Spear Gun is another popular model on the market right now. It is arguably the most powerful speargun on this list. Hammerhead makes durable spear guns at an affordable price. It is a rubber powered gun, constructed from stainless steel and available in tow size options, 55mm and 75mm. And while the Hammerhead Proteus Spear Gun doesn't have as many size options as it's competitors, which some view as a downside, it does have many other positive features.
The Hammerhead Proteus Speargun is a great option if you are cautious about price but still want a good deal for the money you're willing to spend. If you are willing to sacrifice a few features and versatility, this gun has a solid reputation and will definitely get the job done.
This model from Mares is said to be a great spear gun for beginners. It is one of the best inexpensive speargun options you can buy. The Mares bandit Spear Gun is made of aluminum for a lightweight and easy to use machine. Weighing in at around three pounds, this spear gun was specifically designed for use by beginner and intermediate spear fishers. suitable for hunting small to medium size fish, it is equipped with Australasian rigging for its band system and includes a safely mechanism to prevent any dangerous accidents to the novice spear fisher.
The Mares Bandit Spear Gun offers excellent performance, while not breaking the bank, and comes in a large assortment of sizes. It can be purchased in 35cm, 45cm, 55cm, 55mm, 75mm, 95cm, 95mm, 110mm, and finally 120mm. Obviously the smaller sizes are lower in price and suited for smaller fish, whereas the larger, pricier sizes can spear more variety.
For an affordable, lightweight and versatile spear gun, the Mares Bandit is a great value for what you pay. If you are most interested in small fish, this is a great option because of its lower price point.
Choosing the best speargun requires a lot of research, and personal preference as well. There are various models available on the market today to appeal to numerous types of spear-fishermen.
Some guns are even less expensive and are a great option for beginners while they perfect their skills and move up to more advance equipment. Not everyone has the means to splurge on an expensive speargun, so it is important to consider the qualities that are important to you.

Christian Prommer
Drumlesson Zwei
Format: CD, LP, Download
Release Date World: Monday 12th April 2010
Some ideas are just so good, they deserve a second chapter. Like Christian Prommer's Drumlesson Vol. 1 album, released in 2008, which featured instrumental jazz versions of legendary techno and electronic tracks including Derrick May's Strings of Life, Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express and Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness.
Critics and audiences were united in their positive reactions to the album. "Makes you feel cool just listening to it," gushed Mixmag's four-star review, while Clash Magazine called it "an intriguing and successful outing. FlyGobalMusic claimed "this album is as near perfection as it is possible to be", and Properly Chilled conclude that "Christian Prommer's Drumlesson will put a tap in your foot, a snap on your fingers, and a smile across your bohemian soul."
High praise indeed. Even more flattering, the artists themselves sent warm messages of support to Christian. "Nice work Mr. Prommer", said Derrick May. "It's an honour to be covered in such a brilliant way," agreed Patrick Pulsinger.
Now the Munich-based drummer, DJ and producer returns with a second volume of inspired electro-organic cover versions. The musical mix remains ambitiously broad, from Carl Craig to Laurent Garnier, from Underground Resistance to Jean-Michel Jarre. Since the first album, the Drumlesson collective has grown from a studio concept to a fully working live band. Christian was also more directly involved in playing drums, piano and percussion alongside guitarist Uwe Karpa, keyboard player Roberto Di Gioia, percussionist Ernst Ströer, bass guitarist Christian Diener and drummer Matteo Scrimali. After the recording sessions, he also worked on each track in his studio, switching roles from live player to electronic producer.
"On the last record, everything was played and performance oriented," Christian explains. "This one was more produced and laid out like a concept. Normally when I do my electronic music, everything is programmed and very controlled. So for me, this was the best of both worlds – having the guys play really interesting stuff, and then working with it."
As on the first album, classic Detroit techno is a key inspiration for Drumlesson Zwei. The album opens with the cinematic majesty of Sandstorms, a shimmering and seductive reworking of an obscure Carl Craig tune. Christian and his band also sink their teeth into two versions of Jaguar, the legendary dancefloor anthem by DJ Rolando and Underground Resistance's Mad Mike Banks.
"A classic Detroit techno tune," says Christian. "We did two versions 'Äì part one I like to call the 'ÄòWhite Stripes of jazz' version because it's really rocking, just drums and bass and not much more. The second part is more of a Belearic-goes-Middle Eastern dance anthem with a lot of prepared piano, guitar tracks and drum layers. That's a real killer tune for me to play when I DJ."
Christian and his band have also applied their open-minded jazz attitude to the cream of European house, techno and electro. The minimalist throb of Groove La Chord by Stockholm's Aril Brikha is reborn as a futuristic tropical samba. Sleepy Hollow by the Berlin-based Stefan Goldmann becomes a kind of avant-garde film-noir soundtrack. And High Noon is a cool, moody version of an early cut by those Viennese rhythm maestros, Kruder and Dorfmeister. A regular collaborator with Christian, Peter Kruder was involved in mixing both Drumlesson albums.
French music is also well represented, with a lush chamber-jazz reinvention of Laurent Garnier's club classic Acid Eiffel and an alluring deconstruction of Jean-Michel Jarre's immortal electro anthem, Oxygène Part IV. "The Jean-Michel Jarre track is not a club classic but it's an electronic classic," Christian explains. "It's still very popular as it helped to make electronic music a household name so I tried to keep the well-known melody, but also do more of an avant-garde arrangement around it, like a Tortoise tune."
Bringing the album full circle, Drumlesson Zwei ends with Sandcastles, a sublime instrumental soundscape based on the club smash by Dennis Ferrer and Jerome Sydenham. Jazz meets house, electronic meets organic, Drumlesson Zwei is a testament to music's limitless potential for inspiration and reinvention.
Drumlesson Zwei is not about narrow labels, fads or genres. Great music lasts forever.

General Motors plans to significantly increase production at U.S. plants Monday as part of a gradual reopening of its North American operations after March shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Most importantly, the company will return American plants that produce pickup trucks such as the Chevrolet Silverado to pre-coronavirus levels of three shifts. It also will begin reopening a plant in Texas on one shift that builds large SUVs such as the Chevrolet Silverado and Cadillac Escalade. All are highly profitable products for the company that are in low supply on dealer lots.
"Our comprehensive safety procedures are working well, and our suppliers have done a great job implementing their return-to-work strategies and safety playbooks," the company said in a statement late Thursday. "We are now in a position to increase production to meet strengthening customer demand and strong dealer demand."
Since restarting U.S. production on May 18, the automaker has slowly been increasing output at its North American plants. The slower pace is meant to allow time for its suppliers to build inventory and employees to get accustomed to new safety protocols in the plants to lower the spread of Covid-19.
Plants in Flint, Michigan; Fort Wayne, Indiana and Wentzville, Missouri, are expected to increase from one to three shifts on Monday. Flint and Fort Wayne produce the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, which were expected to increase production this week but were delayed due to a parts shortage. Wentzville produces midsize pickups such as the Chevrolet Colorado and large vans.
Other plants that produce cars and crossovers for the automaker also are adding shifts or reopening next week, according to the company.
With the increases in production, the vast majority of GM's 48,000 hourly workers will be back to work as of next week.
GM spokesman Jim Cain confirmed Friday that some employees have tested positive for Covid-19. He declined to comment on the exact number of positive cases and how many employees have been tested.
"The circumstances around each case were different but none required production to be paused," Cain said in an email. "We are not providing statistics on Covid testing."
GM's crosstown rival, Ford Motor, has paused production or sent workers home after employees tested positive for Covid-19 at least four times since restarting production May 18.
Ford started four of its plants, including those that produce its bestselling F-Series pickups, last week. The company, according to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, will add second shifts at plants in Kansas City, Missouri, and Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday.
Felker said the company will "continue to increase production as our workforce and supply chain are able to support."
Fiat Chrysler also plans to have a majority of its U.S. workforce, roughly 85%, and plants back to work next week, according to company spokeswoman Jodi Tinson.
The spokeswomen for both companies declined to disclose how many employees have tested positive for Covid-19 as well as how many employees have been tested.
All three of the Detroit automakers started reopening assembly plants on May 18.

150 Dinos and over 300 customers travel to Maranello
By Will Wynn on July 2, 2018
More than 150 Dinos and over 300 customers from all over the world flocked to Maranello and Ferrari on Saturday 30 June for an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the road debut of the first production car. The Dino, one of the world's best-loved and biggest selling Ferraris, had a rather long gestation. Fitted with a six-cylinder engine designed by Enzo Ferrari's son, from whom it has taken its name, the saloon was first presented as a prototype at the Paris Motor Show in October 1965. A year later it went on display at the Turin Motor Show but was only officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show the following November.
Thus, the car's 50th anniversary should really have been marked in 2017, but any commemorative event would have been overshadowed by the Ferrari 70th anniversary celebrations. Hence the decision to celebrate the half-century of another special event, the road debut of the first model in March 1968.
On Saturday, the cars arrived in the forecourt of the Maranello Museum and then headed to the Fiorano track, where they cars paraded all together. At midday, the Dinos drove into the factory where the customers were given a special tour. Then at the end of the afternoon a memorable day closed with the traditional drive, one car at a time, under the arch of the historical entrance on Via Abetone Inferiore. This spectacular parade attracted many fans of this much-loved Ferrari.

We would like to give our appreciation to all the team at KleidonMasterbuilt Homes.
Peter and I decided to move from Mudgee NSW to live in Bargara Qld in last year. We had enough of the cold winters and sort the year round warmer climate of Queensland. We decided to make Bargara home. We were unsure if we would buy or build a house, so we set out looking at existing homes in the area and then having a look at builders' display homes. While all the display homes we went through were great we were especially taken by the standard of finishes offered in the Kleidon homes. We realise that all display homes are not always standard finishes so we had to distinguish what was standard and what was at an extra cost. The sales team at the KleidonMasterbuilt display home at Bargara Beach Estate, in particular Ken and Scott, were very informative, friendly and very approachable. We did not want a top of the market home. There being only the two of us, all we needed was a three bedroom home with flowing, open living areas with a large alfresco for outdoor enjoyment. After a few minor modifications to the standard plan we were able to achieve our dream home. We had a budget we had to keep within and were able come in with the final figure being very close to our budget. We couldn't be happier with Adam and his team of contractors, all of whom were helpful and informative. We were able to visit the site as often as we liked to keep abreast of the progress, even after lock-up stage, Adam was more than accommodating with us going through the house at any time we agreed upon.
At the time we were living in a caravan so it was important to us to get the house built within the time frame agreed upon. In this regard the build was finished nearly 2 weeks ahead of schedule with no compromise to the quality of the finish.
To everyone involved in the build we cannot thank you enough – the house and the grounds are fabulous.


In a meeting with a former practice leader of an advisory consulting firm (now one of the remaining top 5) we eneded up talking about change management.
Blow the whistle – stop everything and tell the client that things have changed and thus the project scope, success etc are at risk. In our discussion we both found this very adversarial and not part of good communication. I do think that sometimes this is necessary if the proper attention is not being given.
Ignore it – This builds on the premise that it can be straightened out in the end. This one can be successful depending on the type of work, people doing the work and the relationship. But I do not subscribe to this. This means that the client and the vendorare not communicating. Even if there is no material change in the scope, we need to keep open communciation to facilitate expectation matching.
Alert and Follow – in this method, you alert the client and say you will follow the change and keep them posted on the impact. This one is very collegial and allows everyone to share in the development of the outcome. It is predicated on mutual trust that no-one will be left out to hang as the change is resolved.
Engineering Method – In this method, communication is made in the form of a change order with both sides signing off before the change is initiated into the scope of the agreement. This is predominant in software development as the change in scope needs to be captured, but this does often create an adversarial position.
What I liked most about the conversation was deciding how to best interact with your clients ahead of time in a productive manner. I believe in our business of software development option 4 is a necessity, but leveraging or mixing it with option 3 allows both vendor and client to act together and ultimately we are not successfull no matter what anyone says if we do not deliver what the client needs – and everyone knows that can change as we progress through a project.


Multiple outlets report that Hair Live! musical has been canceled by NBC.
The news that the iconic rock musical is not be getting a televised production was announced Monday by the network. Hair Live! was scheduled to air on NBC on May 19, which means it would have competed against HBO's series finale of Game of Thrones and the season finale of ABC's American Idol.
NBC previously announced two additional live versions of A Few Good Men and Bye Bye Birdie, however, according to E! Online the production for the latter has already been delayed multiple times.


Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez do "everything" together.
The singer-and-actress and the retired baseball star - who got engaged earlier this month - feel they are "stronger" as a couple and, after being named joint brand ambassadors for eyewear label Quay Australia, are looking for more projects they can tackle as a team.
Jennifer, 43, said: "Everything that we do, we do together. He knows my dreams and I know his dreams, and together we feel like we're stronger..."
"We're constantly supporting each other in our individual endeavours and thinking about all the things that we can build together."
Alex, 49, added: "We are very grateful."
After returning home from the Bahamas vacation where they got engaged, the couple couldn't be happier together.
Jennifer told People magazine: "We're really happy."
Alex added: "We have an appreciation for where we are in our lives today, and that's what we're enjoying the most."
The pair have been in Miami shooting their eyewear campaign, but they also love spending time in the city with their kids, Jennifer and ex-husband Marc Anthony's 11-year-old twins Max and Emme, and Alex and his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis' two daughters, Natasha, 14, and 10-year-old Ella.
The 'World of Dance' judge said: "We all come down here and it's our city, it's our second home."
Meanwhile, Jennifer's friend Ne-Yo previously revealed she is "over the moon" after getting engaged.
He shared: "Anybody who's ever seen the two of them together, it's like, 'They getting married. Yeah, they getting married. That's going to happen.' I found out the same way everyone else did. I looked on IG and saw and went, 'Oh, it finally happened!' Then I instantly sent her a text saying, 'Congrats, congrats, congrats,' and she said, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' And, I said, 'OK, y'all are doing engaged stuff, you go do that.' I'm super happy for her.
"She's over the moon. She really is. You can totally tell. I won't say it's the happiest she's ever been - I don't personally know - but it's the happiest I've seen her since I've known her, so that being said, good job A-Rod! He comes on set from time-to-time. He's super fun. He's her biggest fan, which is great, and she lights up. She already lights up a room when she walks in, because it's just J. Lo and that's what she does, but when he comes around it's like, 'OK, put on your sunglasses. We get it - you guys love each other and you're happy. Alright, we understand.'"


Move over Cool Whip. Learn how to make homemade whipped cream. This healthy alternative to the tub you are used to buying. You only need 3 ingredients for this tasty treat!
Growing up Cool Whip was one of my absolute most favorite things. From the tub or can, I could literally shovel it in my mouth. I would always drive my mom crazy because I would try to sneak spoonfuls out of the tub and she needed the whole container for whatever dessert she was making. When our daughter was born though, we started watching what we were eating and I realized that I could be making my own homemade cool whip from scratch. Not only was it healthier, but it actually tastes better, too. Say WHAT!?
Is there a difference between cool whip and whipped cream?
Cool Whip is an artificial alternative for making whipped cream. Whipped cream is the process of whisking or beating heavy cream until light and fluffy and sweetened with vanilla and sugar.
Some may ask, "why not just buy Cool Whip (or ReddiWhip can)?" That's because the ingredients in Cool Whip tub contains the following: water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (coconut & palm kernel oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skim milk, contains less than 2% of light cream, sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, sodium polyphosphate, beta carotene (color). That's more than 15 different ingredients! Half of which I have no clue what they are or how to even correctly pronounce them. Why would you ever want to put that into your body?
Alternatively, the ingredients in homemade whipped cream are: heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar. That's it.
A homemade whipped cream recipe consists of whisking vigorously with a whisk or beating with a mixer heavy cream until light and fluffy clouds begin to form. Halfway through you add vanilla extract and white sugar. The end result tastes better than any store bought tub or can can compare. You do have to be careful that you don't whisk or beat too long or you will end up making homemade butter.
Can I Make Homemade Whipped Cream In Advance?
Absolutely! You can make homemade whipped cream up to 3 days in advance. Once it's made, store in an air-tight container in your fridge until you are ready to use it. Once ready, there may be some liquid at the bottom of your container. Simply, whisk or beat the homemade whipped cream together again until reconstituted.
Move over Cool Whip. This homemade whipped toppings is a healthy alternative to the tub you are used to buying. You only need 3 ingredients for this tasty treat!
In a chilled bowl of a stand mixer, add the heavy cream and begin to beat on medium speed.
Slowly add in the organic sugar and pure vanilla extract.
Use immediately or place in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Stop once you have stiff peaks. Over beating heavy cream will cause it to separate and form buttermilk and butter if beaten too long.
You don't have to have a stand mixer, it's just what I have that works best. A regular mixer, or even just a bowl and a whisk will work great.

This homemade Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe is the best mustard based bbq sauce recipe you can find! Simple and Delicious sauce for marinating, dipping, and more!
To me, a sauce is life.
Apparently, I never grew up because having something to dip my food in is still something I love doing. I need extra sauce on my pasta. I need extra sauce to dip my pizza in, especially the crust. I need extra cheese sauce for my nachos. You get the point.
While growing up, my sauce dipping didn't really expand beyond ketchup or mustard, I finally started experimenting with more sauces in college. Truth be told, until I was in my 20s, the thought of anything BBQ sauce seemed so gross to me. Who really knows why! Honestly, if I had to guess, it was probably one of those things that my mom didn't like again. My friends couldn't understand why I didn't dip my nuggets in BBQ or honey or sweet and sour sauce. But nope, just ketchup please.
Around 3 years ago, I ran out of bottled BBQ sauce and freaked out since I needed it for something I was making for dinner. Someone suggested I make my own.
Duh! Make my own BBQ sauce recipe! I had no idea how simple it was to do so and yet to this day, I haven't purchased another bottle of BBQ sauce at the store. Then recently, I had the brilliant idea to combine honey mustard and BBQ sauce together.
A Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce Recipe.
O-M-G…The result was phenomenal. Our toddler devoured the sandwiches that we put it on and Andrew, the world's pickiest eater who won't touch anything that mentions mustard, tasted and loved it too.
This sauce would be fantastic on grilled chicken, pulled pork, as a sauce in fish tacos, spread over a salad in the summer and so much more. The possibilities are truly endless.
Using a whisk, mix all together until well combined.
Use immediately or store in the fridge in a sealed concealed for up to 2 weeks.
We hope you enjoy this sauce as much as we have! We store our leftover sauce in the fridge in mason jars. What's your favorite sauce? Comment below and let us know!


Water is essential for every single dog of any breeds. This hydration source become even more exceptionally important when you are taking your dog for heavy exercises, such as travelling or long hiking. Just like humans, dogs are prone to dehydration and they can be thirsty much quicker than you, especially if they are very active during a trip. Thereby, it is important for you to prepare sufficient water for your dog during outdoor activities to keep their body well hydrated.
Dehydration can be rooted in more serious, underlying problems and can be life-threatening for dogs. If you suspect your dog is dehydrated, it is essential to take him to the vet initially.
Bringing along an outdoor dog bottle for outdoor activities is proven to be one of the most effective prevention for dehydration in dogs.
Although some travelling water bowls for dogs are designed well to be brought along during trips. However, these bowls are mostly taking up too much space. A water bowl also lets the dog spill too much water while drinking. Hence, it is not always effective and convenient. Moreover, a dog water bottle for travelling is commonly easier to take as they might be equipped with a clip on clasp to be hooked on your waist.
However, similar to other pet supplies, dog water bottles do have minor cons, such as too tiny nozzle head that may limit dog's water intake and stuck nozzle that may leave your dog lack of hydration. Since not all dogs are familiar with how to drink using a water bottle, it may take some time for the dog owners to introduce the dog to the bottle and nozzle, and to teach how to drink through it.
Despite this, by choosing one out of some best dog water bottles, you might be able to maximize the bottle benefits for your dogs and minimize some potential downsides. Dog travel water bottles are mostly designed similarly to dog water bowls, making it easier for dogs to drink during the trips.
There are various models, characteristics, capacities, and brands of dog travel water bottles in the market. To make your purchase useful, it is important to ensure it matches your dog's needs. Look at a couple of tips below to make a great purchase of a dog travel water bottle.
Defining the capacity of water bottle your dog needs is important. Dog travel water bottles come in some different capacities. Your dog breed should help you decide how much water they will require during outdoor activities. The larger your dog breed is; the bigger capacity you will consequently require. When choosing your furry friend's bottle capacity, it is also essential to think about how you are going to carry the bottle. While waist-attaching a travel bottle is commonly convenient for any bottle size, throwing the bottle into your bag to carry it requires space picturing and proper size defining processes.
It is also essential to define what material you are choosing. Food grade stainless steel and BPA free plastic are the most common materials used for dog travel water bottles. While stainless steel might store fresher and cooler water, the plastic one is much lighter to carry. However, stainless steel bottles are usually sturdier than the plastic ones. Consequently, plastic dog water bottles are more affordable.
The bowl model might also be taken into account when deciding which water bottle you are buying for your dog. Choosing a wide bowl that is attached to the bottle is more convenient as it minimizes spills and splash and let you keep your pet hydrated hassle-free.
While dog travel water bottles are mostly affordable, considering the price and performance can also help you decide which one to buy.

How is divorce different in Colorado?
Colorado state law allows a married couple to file for divorce when the marriage is "irretrievably broken." No other grounds are necessary. In fact no other grounds – such as adultery, domestic violence or abandonment – are available, since Colorado is entirely a no-fault divorce state.
The first step in getting a dissolution of marriage is to determine whether you will be filing jointly or singly. The former is an option if you and your spouse are in agreement about getting the dissolution of marriage and want to work together to achieve an uncontested divorce, whereas the latter is more frequently used in cases of contested divorce during which the spouses will engage in adversarial litigation or where the other spouse has abandoned the other and must be served with a summons.
If you will be filing on your own, your Denver divorce lawyer will meet with you to draft a petition which includes the terms which you demand for child custody and visitation, division of property and the payment of spousal support. The petition and summons will then be formally served on your spouse, who must then file a response in which he or she may either accept or dispute your terms. If your spouse does not submit a response soon enough, you may be able to file for a default judgment which grants your terms without any further contest. If, on the other hand, your spouse chooses to contest the terms, the judge may order the two of you to attend mediation as an attempt at alternative dispute resolution in order to avoid a trial.
It may be advisable for you and your spouse to pursue mediation whether it is ordered by the court or if you are hoping to pursue an uncontested divorce.
You and your spouse will meet with a trained mediator.
The mediator does not represent either party, but serves to guide the negotiation process and help you and your spouse work out a settlement agreement on matters of custody and visitation, asset and debt division, alimony and child support.
At the end of successful mediation, you and your husband or wife will have established an agreement which you can then bring before the judge for your final hearing.
At the final hearing, the judge will review the document to ensure that it is legally valid and then issue a set of final orders.
In the event that mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the issues involved in your divorce, it will be necessary to go to a contested hearing. In such a case, your divorce will be decided at trial, during which both parties will have the opportunity to introduce witnesses and evidence to support their arguments and to advocate for their side.
In preparation of the case, your Colorado family attorney may engage in legal discovery, filing motions to compel your spouse to disclose financial information, as well as taking sworn deposition of testimony from witnesses whose statements may have the power to influence the outcome of your divorce. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, the end result will be a set of court orders concerning parental and property rights, and you and your spouse will then be required to abide by these orders unless you can later petition for a modification.

LONDON - A former tabloid editor who was once the British prime minister's media aide is suing News International over its refusal to pay his legal fees, his lawyers said Friday.
Andy Coulson's law firm DLA Piper said in a statement that it has begun proceedings against Rupert Murdoch's News International for reneging on an agreement to pay legal costs. Coulson is among those who have been arrested in the phone hacking scandal.
Coulson, a former News of the World editor who later went on to serve as Prime Minister David Cameron's top media aide, resigned as the phone hacking scandal began to boil over earlier this year. News International has not commented on whether it was paying Coulson's fees, and declined to comment Friday.
Murdoch's News Corp. facing legal action in U.S.
News International has also refused to confirm in the past whether or not it is paying legal fees for Coulson.
The development comes as Lawyers from the U.S. and Britain said Friday they are looking to see if American courts can take up a case against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the parent company of News International.
If a case is filed, it would broaden the scope of a scandal that has shaken the media mogul's empire and potentially expose it to greater financial penalties.
British attorney Mark Lewis revealed few details but suggested the legal action could begin by taking depositions from News Corp. officials and focus on alleged "corrupt practices." He said he had retained U.S. lawyer Norman Siegel, who represents families of many Sept. 11 victims, to take on News Corp.
But while Lewis predicted the first hearing could occur within two or three months, Siegel downplayed the prospect of immediate action, telling The Associated Press that he'd only been asked "to explore whether there's legal options."
Lewis "asked us to do the research. That's what we're doing," Siegel said.
News Corp. declined comment. Its stock price dipped slightly in early morning trading but bounced back up to about $15.80 a share in New York.
The media conglomerate is best known in the U.S. for its properties such as Fox News Channel, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal. But it's been under pressure in Britain since July over revelations that its flagship Sunday tabloid, the News of the World, routinely hacked into people's phones in its quest for scoops.
The now-defunct paper is accused of systematically intercepting private voice mail of Britons in the public eye, including, notoriously, a teenage murder victim whose family Lewis now represents.
The New York-based company has already been forced to abandon its bid for full control of satellite broadcaster BSkyB Ltd. amid the scandal, and faces a multimillion pound legal bill to settle victims' claims. That bill could climb if cases were brought in U.S. venues, where penalties and settlements are far more generous.
But one law professor said such a maneuver "seems like a stretch."
Typically lawyers file a class-action lawsuit first and then solicit depositions afterward, said Chris Fairman, a law professor at Ohio State University. While the rules of American civil procedure don't prohibit the reversal, such a move is highly unusual, he said, describing Lewis' proposed actions as "a fishing expedition."
Although it's been alleged — in a thinly sourced story carried by a rival U.K. tabloid — that the News of the World sought to target the phones of Sept. 11 victims, Lewis said that wasn't the focus of his U.S. legal thrust.
No evidence has surfaced to back up the Sept. 11 claim, and News Corp. has dismissed it as "anonymous speculation."
Nevertheless, U.S. prosecutors are investigating the claim, and recently sent a letter to the company requesting information on any payments made by its employees to British government workers, a person familiar with the case said.
The person spoke anonymously because the information was not meant to be disclosed publicly.

was on the way, this time in northern Missouri, potentially adding water to the Mississippi just north of St. Louis. This could cause an increase in the Missouri River, which is currently below flood stage. National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Fuchs said 2 inches of rain or more were possible Monday night and Tuesday morning.
ST. LOUIS (AP) Two Mississippi River bridges closed due to flooding, and with more storms in the forecast, there was growing concern Monday that conditions could worsen in parts of Missouri and Illinois. 54. The next nearest bridge is in Hannibal, Missouri, 35 miles to the north. The river is expected to crest nearly 10 feet above flood stage in Louisiana on Tuesday, but it could be the weekend before water is off the road on the Illinois side of the crossing.
Flooding closes 2 Mississippi River bridges
The river was starting to drop in Iowa towns including Burlington and Keokuk, but still rising in Missouri and Illinois. Crests in some cases 10 feet above flood stage were expected this week.
The Quincy Memorial Bridge in Quincy, Illinois, shut down Monday morning. The impact there wasn as severe because Quincy with 41,000 residents, the largest Mississippi River town between Davenport, Iowa (population 100,000) and St. Louis has two bridges. Illinois Department of Transportation spokeswoman Paris Ervin said all traffic is being routed to the Boys' Grade School Nike Kyrie 1 Basketball Shoes
Homes and businesses were threatened in another tourist town, Grafton, Illinois, north of St. Louis, where the Mississippi is expected to reach 9 feet above flood stage on Saturday.
Bayview Bridge, which sits higher than the Memorial and is not threatened.
Water levels on the Mississippi shot up in the past couple of weeks due to a series of strong storms in the upper Midwest. Flooding has closed roads and swamped thousands of acres of farmland in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
Route 79 was closed near Clarksville, Missouri, where out of town volunteers and inmates from a nearby prison joined local residents in building a sandbag wall. By Monday morning, 95 percent of the wall was complete, Missouri State Emergency Management Agency spokesman Mike O said.
The wet start to summer continued Sunday in western Michigan, where storms with winds estimated at more than 80 mph damaged homes and businesses. The National Weather Service said a possible tornado touched down Nike Zoom Hyperquickness 2015
Clarksville, a tiny town known for its scenic river view and assortment of artist and craft shops, is a popular day destination for St. Louis area tourists. The town has no permanent flood protection.

briefly south of Grand Rapids. Injuries were reported, but the severity wasn immediately known.
definitely getting into the realm of major flooding, no question about it, Fuchs said. the Missouri does go up into flood stage, that will aggravate things from St. Louis to points south. Missouri flows into the Mississippi north of St. Louis, and the river widens. For now, the Mississippi at St. Louis is expected to crest 2 feet above flood stage on Sunday, causing little damage. But if the flood worsens, work along Memorial Drive that is part of the effort to revitalize the area around the Gateway Arch could be delayed.

A few years ago, I returned to my Central Illinois hometown to join in a homecoming party for a family friend who had been away for 30 years. As we men stood watch on the grill at the celebratory barbecue, our esteemed visitor remarked without irony that he noticed that work was still being done on the bridge that crosses the creek on the way to "town"—Peoria, in this instance—just as it was being done three decades ago when he left. There was a long pause before someone fully comprehended the context and informed him that we had, in fact, completed the original bridge replacement project not long after he left and that the current work was to rehab the bridge, as 30-year-old bridges sometimes require.
it is easy to see why he made the mistake he did, because the original rebuild back in the 1980s played havoc on many people's lives. What had been promised to be a three-month job took nearly a year: the low-bid subcontractor assigned to build the approaches to the bridge found itself in over its head and eventually punted on the assignment. the main contractor then had to pay handsomely to get a team that would attempt to work through the winter—an effort that proved virtually useless owing to the particular severity of the season that year. the job ultimately cost much more than originally anticipated, an expense that was passed on to the citizens of our township, and left us forced to navigate a lengthy detour "to town" for much longer than was necessary.

Melbourne Opera makes a quantum leap in scale of production, crossing Collins St to present a majestic, immensely satisfying production of Tannhäuser at the Regent Theatre.
Achieving a synergistic if-you-build-it they-will-come vibe, this second performance of Tannhäuser was extremely well attended, surely coming close to the 1300-strong audience at Sunday's premiere. The ranks of Melbourne Opera's followers have clearly been swelled by fellow opera lovers keen to experience Wagner's epic romantic drama in its first Melbourne appearance in over 20 years.
Free from the clutter of overladen commercial-scale lighting bars, the Regent's gilded proscenium arch makes a majestic frame for the handsome production.
As the glorious music flows and crescendos, the sound is matched visually with the beginning of Zoe Scoglio's stunning video projections. Crashing waves ebb and flow in a hypnotically symmetrical design, all the more beautiful for the realistic, rather than computer-animated, look. The waves slowly give way to Venus' cave, erotically created from an overlapping multitude of female forms. Act two's Hall of Song is a gleaming static image that matches the Regent's interior beautifully.
Set designer Christina Logan-Bell provides a streamlined canvas for the projections, providing striking depth with circular edges framing the backdrop. Elegant ramps and stairs are painted in attractive faux marble designs, and the major stage platform has rear stairs that allow for dramatic entrances and exits.
Director Suzanne Chaundy shows a clear and confident vision for the vast scale of the opera, maintaining interest throughout the long scenes with engaging business and passionate energy from the singers. Away from the cramped wings of the Athenaeum, the ensemble has the space to come and go freely. Chaundy fills the stage with singers, give them purpose and presence.
While the principals sing in German, the chorus sings in English, expertly prepared, as ever, by Raymond Lawrence.
Guest conductor David Kram presides over more than 50 players in the Melbourne Opera Orchestra, producing a fine sound that benefits from the acoustic quality of the auditorium.
Costume designer Daniel Harvey initially dresses the chorus in neutral pastoral shades as noble pilgrims. The company sparkles jewel-toned gowns and dinner suits in act two, all adorned with matching gold sashes.
Lighting the stage is deceptively difficult in the presence of projections, but Lucy Birkinshaw bathes the downstage area in warm overhead and side light, allowing the projected images to be seen in sharp clarity.
With steely presence to spare, Romanian tenor Marius Vlad is sensational in the title role, singing with a tireless, heroic tone.
Lee Abrahmsen is in full goddess mode as Princess Elizabeth, looking a million dollars in golden gown and blonde curls. This decadent look is contrasted with a humbler calico smock and ruffled hair as the heartbroken Elizabeth appears near death in act three. Abrahmsen's voluptuous soprano sounds glorious in the space, and she creates a sympathetic, vulnerable character beneath all the glamour.
Soprano Sarah Sweeting sizzles as seductive siren Venus. Manfred Pohlenz brings expertly measured authority to the role of Wolfram.
A strong lineup of Melbourne Opera regulars delivers solid support, including impressive featured moments from Eddie Muliaumaseali'i, Michael Lampard and Jason Wasley.
The combination of strategic stage positioning, crisp, well-matched costumes, rich, midnight blue lighting and glorious vocals results in a stirring, highly memorable conclusion to this wonderfully realised production.
Tannhäuser plays again on 20 August 2016 at Regent Theatre, Melbourne, followed by a performance on 28 August 2016 at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University.


At least I'm being honest, right?
Thing is, why or how I got to be some guy living in a remote mountain cabin writing the next great American novel is besides the point. Perhaps the hustle and bustle of big city living got to be too much. Perhaps I couldn't concentrate with the constant fly-overs by commercial airliners. No matter. The reason for being there would be a moot point the minute your hungry lost abandoned-by-your-guides self showed up at my door.
At which point, if I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't give you any food.
