Delaware program promotes STEM careers in the classroom [video]

A local organization that prepares young people for the business world is partnering with the Delaware STEM Council to expose students to careers in science.
On Tuesday, Junior Achievement of Delaware announced plans to expand its career-readiness efforts in order to link students with professionals in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With funding secured from the Dow Chemical Company, the Delaware STEM Council will join Junior Achievement to launch an in-school curriculum-based program called "JA It's My Future."
"Careers in STEM are among the fastest growing right here in Delaware and in the nation," said Rob Epps, President of JA of Delaware.
In the fall of 2014, JA plans to implement a two-year pilot program that will offer 3,500 Delaware middle school students six weeks of STEM education and mentoring.
"Better preparing our students and equipping them with real-life, practical STEM skill will make them more marketable and attractive to potential employers," Epps said.
Residents who hold STEM-related jobs are encouraged to help JA make an impact.
"Having STEM professionals in the classroom, engaging the kids in a very real and practical way will take the experience to a much higher level," said Judson Wagner, Co-Chair of the DE STEM Council, which was formed in 2009.
Anyone interested in supporting the "JA It's My Future" program can sign up online.

Diversity Paradise Houston Shows The Psychological Effects of Diversity
by Brett Stevens on September 9, 2017
A week after a tragedy, the psychological effects begin to manifest. People who otherwise were stable and sane start to act differently. They stumble over common words, drive as if they were distracted and on heavy drugs, and make decisions with no relationship to reality. The tragedy has set in; now, the body assimilates it, taking all of the darkness within in an attempt to master it.
People experience these little mental health moments as they become unable to deal with the sheer crisis around them. Houston survived a hurricane, only to be flooded by its government which released the reservoirs in order to avoid endangering the newly-built areas around the city. There was hope, and then it perished under waves of rain, pond and sewer water.
It is perhaps a euphemism to call these failures of cognition "mental health moments." They occur when people check out of reality entirely, and turn into the world of the self, like autistics stimming looking for a source of inspiration within themselves instead of out there in the world or even the more dangerous territory of their inner selves.
In fact, it seems like our entire society uses natural selection to ensure that the only people who prevail are those who do not mind going into a mental fugue state. Too much traffic, a task at a job that is both pointless and sure to be wasted, a society wracked by legal corruption? Just go into the zone of nothingness and allow the hours to pass without pain. It's like morphine plus religion.
This mental discoordination appears after a disaster. The normal state of things, guaranteed by social good feelings and government, has been interrupted. People feel a sense of loss, but even more, a feeling that all of the normal rules do not apply. The promises were lies. The usual way of living has failed and been replaced by a more basic sense of survival.
When Houston flooded, the disconnection appeared. The normal way of doing things, which we assume to be safe and benevolent towards us, revealed itself to be empty and toxic. The assumptions of our fellow citizens, and the glowing newspaper articles about how people "came together regardless of race, age or gender" showed that they were not just lies, but lies designed to make us into ideological zombies.
White people — mostly Western Europeans — love diversity, mainly because they are naturally competitive, and so this becomes just another way of beating your neighbors. You have a black friend? Well, I have Asian, Latino, Indian and black transgender friends. And yet, when all the drama is done, they retreat to their all-white suburbs, and if those become infiltrated by the Other, the value of those houses mysteriously drops as all those anti-racist white people go elsewhere in search of others like them.
In that sense, we exist in two realities. The public reality affirms the equal nature of all people; the private truth points out that all of us want people like ourselves to exist alongside. Every now and then, the streams cross, as happens when a disaster removes all the pretense and forces us to adhere to what actually functions in terms of results in reality.
After the Houston floods, the mayor came out and made a speech. Then, he indulged in the pretense of the crowd: he allowed them to criticize him, ask "pointed" questions, and demand answers. Victory was on his side: there are always reasons why none of those apply, or at least can be deferred long enough to be swallowed by the memory hole.
The audience immediately separates into two groups: the fools, who do not understand that politics is a game of image, rely on the promises made and the laws written, and demand results. More savvy, the realists recognize that politicians thrive by finding large groups of people to vote for them, and so those laws, standards, and conventions can be overthrown and replaced.
Whatever the crowd wants, it gets.
The emptiness of the response shows us how much we are self-selected victims of democracy. We fear the moment where we must prove ourselves in reality, so we fall back into these human-only activities where all of our choices are "just opinions," and therefore never wrong. We make the economic decision to suppress reality in favor of our own pretense and that of our friends.
All is vanity. About the only pure things left are love for nature and love for God. Those who adore and trust whatever created all of this, while knowing that it was not necessary and therefore somewhat arbitrary, recognize that it tends toward a proliferation of life, beauty and goodness. Such people have not an innate purpose, but the ability to choose a logical path which resembles purpose.
Humans fear that purpose because it makes us feel small, and we retaliate by demanding that our opinions become law, which is what the term "equality" really means. We are equal without having to adapt to our world or to contribute anything. We can just be as we are and never change, which means we never cross the streams because we remain only in that public world.
In the public world, appearance matters more than reality. Most people just want to be nice, or inoffensive but with the right motivations, because that way they feel powerful for having used The System toward their own ends. But this replaces reality with human emotion, which is why so many of them would rather die than be proven wrong.
Again, natural selection emerges. All of the people who were willing to confront reality have died off by becoming Romantic poets or joining the French Foreign Legion. What remains are those who live in a world of human emotion, denying both reality out there and the deep inner traits of their personalities which demand meaning, something which requires context in the world.
The result is that our nations do not feel like home anymore. They are ruled by a mechanical ideology that resembles that of the Soviets. The people who win are those who care the least about the consequences of their actions. We become neurotic, and come to hate each other. Much of this comes from our denial of the situation around us.
For example, in Houston, Sylvester Turner is an affirmative action mayor. He was elected because he did not offend the various minority groups, who did not want a white guy in charge. This means that he will say whatever makes those groups happy, and offer to everyone else empty excuses.
We need to call guys like this what they are — Kwame Kilpatrick (Detroit), Lee Brown (Houston) or Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) diversity candidates — because they are fundamentally insincere to the stated objectives of multiculturalism and democracy. They work for their own groups, which requires obliterating all others, and they do this through the soft methods of law, economics and social opinion. People go along with it in order to seem intelligent, while insisting that what we actually have is the surface definition of democracy and diversity.
The result shows us our future if we do not remove diversity. All groups act in self-interest, except the pretentious Caucasians, and so when a member of these groups gets in power, he does nothing but steal, corrupt and manipulate. That benefits his people. The rest of you will starve in flooded homes.
Across Houston, in its white neighborhoods, piles of debris and soaking belongings have emerged. The reservoir was emptied so that those who are likely to support the mayor were not inconvenienced, but those white people — unlikely to vote for him in the first place — they can be destroyed. It's not like they will ever rise up against the system they have created.
You can see immediately whether someone understands the world around them by their attitude toward democracy. Those that think their elected leaders are coming to save them, or that they can manipulate those leaders, or even that a logical argument is being had in the media or with politicians… these people do not get it. They still believe in the surface.
Someone who sees government as an employment program that sells power in exchange for donations to candidates, the media as an entertainment product that reports only what creates an emotional reaction, and other people as a herd in which most understand almost nothing, by having seen this things, can never believe in "the System" but has seen the actual nature of people and their behavior.
We are victims of democracy. We believe in it, when it is actually a form of theater; we trust it to save us, when really its objective is to enrich its own members. And then, as doom approaches, we rationalize it, so that we can feel good and smart for having chosen the winning side, even if it will eventually destroy us.
This originates in our own hubris. We insist that whatever we do is right, instead of the natural form where we must do what is right according to the order above us, including nature and whatever gods we can summon. Our hubris makes us blind, and so we trust the Sylvester Turners of the world, forgetting that their goals do not overlap (much) with our own.
That hubris prevents us from seeing the obvious. This life is insane: sitting in traffic, tolerating idiocy at the office, pretending everyone matters and claiming our world is the best possible option, all reflect a mental health moment that has become a crutch. Surrounded by ugliness, we just space out when the time comes.
Even greater insanity might be trusting democracy itself. How can one reasonably expect a herd of human animals — bickering, preening, conformist, emotional — to make any kind of realistic choice? The answer is that one cannot, and so whoever tells them pleasant lies will win the day. This especially applies to smarter and smugly self-satisfied groups like Caucasians.
When you add diversity into the mix, it becomes even more impossibly unstable. Houston, after all, had two floods: one that flooded the usual areas that get hit by heavy rains, and the second caused by the release of water from the reservoirs, effectively using most of the city's remaining white areas as a giant retention pond. The first flood was unavoidable, but actually not all that bad, compared to previous events; the second was catastrophic, and a product of the toxic brew of diversity and democracy that strangles Houston.
The West is headed toward dhimmitude not through importation of Muslims, but through diversity and democracy. We invite in the world; they vote against our interests because their interests begin when our power is shattered. And then, to rub our nose in it, they flood our neighborhoods and refuse to pay for actual drainage systems because there are benefits to be had and paid out, for votes, taken from our money.
In the long term, as we watch Houston float away, it becomes clear that diversity will never work. It merely enslaves the productive to the needs of the destructive. In turn, that makes the productive neurotic and oblivious, and so they self-destruct in emotional events far more devastating than even a 1,000 year flood.

Recently I have been up to B Buttress on Aonach Dubh West Face a few times. Pinnacle Face Route and Cyclops are great climbs on the buttress below The Rake. Above the Rake there are two more tiers of buttresses which seem to have very few climbs on them. So today Tommy and I went straight there to check out some potential new routes. We had an amazing day!
The first buttress you get to above The Rake is about 70m high and steeper and bigger than it looks. We started up a steep flake filled chimney toward the left of the face which gave some proper pulling on the axes for a few moves before a very comfortable belay on a big ledge on the right. There was a peg in a crack on the ledge so someone has been there before at some point but it was a long time ago looking at the rust on the peg. We stepped up and right to climb a chimney with a wee overhang at the top and got to the top of the buttress. These were two really fine pitches that need the turf to be well frozen and a bit of ice around like today certainly helped a little.
The final buttress also gave us a great climb up a groove right on the front, overlooking Number Three Gully. Winter climbs are often much steeper than they look and this was no exception. We went up a groove, past a big sloping ramp into a wee corner for a pitch then a brilliant 40m long groove all the way to the top. Another 65m climb that was very good indeed.
The view from B Buttress is incredible. The slope drops straight down to the floor of the glen and out over the loch to the hills of Ardgour. We had a few spells of sunshine but the strong NW wind was blowing around quite a bit of snow. There are areas of wind slab that are quite easy to spot from the scoured snow in most places.
So we did four sustained and quite strenuous pitches of climbing above The Rake today. If you were to start up B Buttress on Pinnacle Face Route (four pitches) and carry on up what we climbed today to climb the "B Buttress Integral" you would enjoy eight pitches of great climbing in an amazing place and you'd have quite sore arms!

Top Five At Fashion Week
Emilia Warren, Staff Writer|September 9, 2009
New York Fall Fashion Week… A time when the young, hip and glamourous flock to New York City in even larger droves than usual. The white tents in Bryant Park have long symbolized the most important week in the NYC fashion scene, and the masses of beautiful people surrounding them mean much more than an increased difficulty in getting a taxi. The fashions shown by designers during Fall 2009 fashion week determine what hits stores in the early spring of 2010, and what will trickle down to Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters, and consequently, what you will be wearing a few months after that.
1. Anna Sui
Famous for her distinctive swirling floral prints that have graced everything from cell phone cases to Firefox layouts and her classic feminine shapes, Anna Sui's Spring 2010 collection is sure to exceed expectations and provide something innovative, while still maintaining her classic aesthetic. As always, Anna Sui will provide fans with an entertaining show, with her trademark rock music and patterned decor along with the innovative, creative clothing. And with a much-hyped collection for Target debuting in September that features some of her most iconic prints, soon her unique looks will be available for people of all budgets.
3 Michael Kors
Designer, philanthropist and reality TV personality, Michael Kors does it all. Taking time off from the filming of Project
Runway, on which he has a regular judging spot, Michael Kors is sure to impress with his trademark flattering shapes and interesting fabric choices. His ability to turn staple pieces that, in the hands of any other designer could turn boring, into classics that never blow away with the winds of fashion, is one of the reason why working women, celebrities and models alike love to see and wear his designs.
3 Charlotte Ronson
The Ronson name is one that is familiar in some capacity to almost everyone. There's Mark Ronson, the hip music producer and disk jockey, and the arguably more famous Samantha Ronson, (ex-) girlfriend of the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan. However, slightly less known is a third Ronson, Charlotte, whose soft shapes and fabrics have made her a shining new star in the fashion world. For her Spring 2010 collection, fans can expect to see more of the soft pieces that made her famous, along with feminine touches like ruffles and crochet. Fans of Ms. Ronson who don't have access to the Bryant Park runways can always check out her "Play" by C. Ronson line featured at Urban Outfitters.
4 Narciso Rodriguez
Featured designer Narciso Rodriguez was chosen by Mercedez-Benz (the organizer and sponsor of Fashion Week) with good reason. After becoming famous nearly overnight for designing the wedding dress worn by JFK Jr.'s wife and receiving even more publicity when one of his dresses was worn by Michelle Obama after the election, Rodrigez is a logical choice as the featured designer for Fashion Week. His pieces, which consist of structured dresses combining soft fabrics with contrasting touches like exposed zippers, cut-outs and bondage straps, are loved by celebrities and fashionistas alike, and fans will surely not be disappointed by his graphic shape inspired Spring 2010 collection.
5 3.1 Philip Lim
Guests in attendance at the 3.1 Philip Lim show are in for a real surprise. In addition to his typical clean lines and flattering shapes paired with unique patterns, the show features exclusive access for American Express card members. Cardholders will get the coveted front row seats as well as an insight into his current collection, in addition to the runway show. Fans of Philip Lim can depend on his loose dresses and defined skirts to keep them fashionable for another season, and the fashion elite can rejoice in the fact that the already exclusive event has been made ever-so-slightly more exclusive.
For the uninterested, the uninvited, and the lucky initiates, Fashion Week is something that will affect anyone who visits Manhattan throughout the week of Sept. 10-17. Although it's next to impossible to get an invite unless you're a member of the press or the fashion crowd, there are always those hopefuls who try to sneak in, however daunting security may be.

Cuban-private sector says the US will not push the island into submission
Havana, June 17 (RHC)-- The restrictions imposed by the Trump Administration on Cuba are having a negative impact on the non-state sector of Cuba.
Nearly 900,000 tourists visited the island on cruise ships last year, according to official figures, and the country was heading towards record numbers with a quarter million tourist arriving in the first four months of 2019 alone, double the rate of the previous year.
But on June 4 the US administration implemented new restrictions, banning visits from private planes, eliminating the People-to-People educational travel license, and prohibiting cruise ships and recreational vessels from docking in Cuban ports.
The reason cited behind the move was Cuba´s solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The measure has severely impacted private operations, from the tours provided on Old American convertible cars, to empty restaurants and cafeterias in Old Havana and slow sales of arts and crafts on street fairs.
Artisans who operate on the Fair located on 23rd St and M in the Vedado district in downtown Havana, rallied on Sunday to vent their disappointment, and demand respect for the sovereignty
Héctor Danilo Rodríguez, union leader of the self-employed workers at the fair told Prensa Latina news agency that the Trump Administration will not succeed in its purposes with the enactment of Tittle III of the Helms Burton law or with other measures.
"Despite the effects of the blockade, Cubans will not be intimidated, and no matter how much money and power the imperialists may have, they will never be able to buy something that is plentiful on the island: dignity".
"No nos Entendemos", "We do not understand each other", is phrase that dates back to the historic Protest of Baragua. (Radio Havana Cuba)
The Helms-Burton Act constitutes a direct attack on Cuba's sovereignty
Cuba´s First VP starts African tour
Cuban VP received a delegation from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Panama recognized that the seized drugs are not attributable to Cuba
Cuba and Lithuania strengthen their relations
New lawsuit against Cuban companies under Helms-Burton

Incubators Aren't Only for Tech Startups
Today's incubators are diverse and community-based. Here's a look at the breadth of options available in fashion, food and other physical-product sectors.
By Lana Bortolot • Jan 1, 2015
Jesse Dittmar
Design engineer Marcel Botha is thriving at Brooklyn's New Lab.
In Philadelphia, what is old is becoming new again, thanks to a 2-year-old incubator that seeks to restore the city's luster in the fashion trade. The Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy's Center City aims to recapture the city's nearly forgotten history with yearlong residencies for designers focused on breaking into the market and staying there.
"Philadelphia has an outdated and old-fashioned image, and [this] is part of a strategy to up our credibility in fashion and retail," says Michelle Shannon, vice president of marketing and communications at Center City District, the business development corporation that's a partner in the venture. "You could say it's a little bit of glitz and glamour, but we have a rich history of fashion in this city, and I think people forget about that."

B-Engaged – Creating authentic connections with athletes
By Mark Lomas|2020-03-02T05:25:11+00:00February 4th, 2020|
When an athlete makes a mistake on social media, people know about it. From Manchester United's Jesse Lingard posting an expletive-laden video of his summer holiday last year to cricket coach Gary Kirsten tweeting his excitement about picking "the [insert team name] squad on Sunday at 7pm" ahead of the draft for new tournament The Hundred.
Social media can make or break the reputation of players, coaches and brands, which is why UK-based sports marketing company B-Engaged was formed in 2013. Dedicated to creating stories for athletes and brands across digital media platforms, the company's client base includes football players like Arsenal's Hector Bellerin and Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry, as well as global manufacturers such as Adidas and Puma.
The target is to help athletes build their profiles, link them with appropriate sponsors and then ensure that any marketing campaigns that utilise sporting influencers deliver ROI. At the heart of that approach, according to managing director of B-Engaged Ehsen Shah, is the creation of authentic content.
"Knowing the audience is crucial," Shah explains to Sport Industry Insider. I know everyone has been banging on for years about content being king and yes it is a cringey phrase, but if you don't know the audience, you'll never understand the content that you should create. At B-Engaged we communicate to over 200 million social media fans on a daily basis through our players and we see how they react to content. Sports fans are the hungriest audience in the world when it comes to consuming content, and the largest audience on social.
"This also means that he audience is savvy. We're not living in 2010 anymore. People know when they see an ad trying to masquerade as a normal post – I think kids from the age of seven or eight can recognise that because they've always had social media in their life. It's important not to treat the audience like they are stupid or naive.

— B-Engaged (@BEngagedUK) January 30, 2020
"Brands are getting smarter too and rather than just treating sport like an ego trip to say, 'my brand sponsors this', now they are recognising that there is actual value in partnering your brand with a sports entity – whether that is a player, a club or a league – and actually getting value out of it."
Creating successful campaigns that bring together brands and players in perfect sporting symbiosis is B-Engaged's goal and when it comes off, Shah says everyone is a winner.
"We did a campaign with Calvin Klein US and they wanted a footballer who was a clean cut, fatherly figure. Honestly, that can be quite hard to find in football but we went through a number of players and settled on Thiago Alcantara of Bayern Munich. He's been with his wife from a young age and he has two young kids. It ended up going really well but it was difficult because you are trying to piece together exactly how Calvin Klein's values fit into sport. It's not an obvious link but we made that work effectively.
"Another one for B-Engaged was Huawei's first ever campaign with women's sport during the Women's World Cup campaign last summer. We had England's Nikita Parris and created a very self-curated, raw vlog campaign that gave an intimate portrait of life in the England camp during the tournament. Again, the result was just really pleasing – creating something that had a genuine impact."
The social media sphere can, however, still be a dangerous space as Manchester City's Bernardo Silva discovered last November. The Portugal midfielder attempted to banter with team-mate Benjamin Mendy on Twitter but his post was deemed racist and he was banned for one match and fined £50,000. Silva has no social media team behind him so is that proof that it is better to have every post managed meticulously than be authentic?
"I'd say 95% of athletes have a team behind them but that doesn't mean the social media account is 'fake' – they are there to protect them and educate them, because there are huge rewards but as Bernardo Silva showed there are also huge pitfalls.
"Having a team can bring your ideas or your feelings into the public light in the safest way that isn't going to cause you harm. They're professionals in being footballers and athletes, we're social media professionals. But of course they are allowed an opinion so it's about how we take that opinion and put it out in a structured form.
"For us it's always been very dependent on the individual as to how much influence you have. We've always had conversations with our clients from the get-go to say, how much of you do you want to show? Where is the line for you? Some won't ever post about their families for example.
"Honestly, though, I don't think there can really be a line between private and public personas of athletes any more. Who you are on social media should be authentic. We want to humanise athletes, not make them social media robots with no personality.
Arsenal. Environment. Clothes. pic.twitter.com/J9sVWe4wYX
— Héctor Bellerín (@HectorBellerin) December 11, 2019
"Hector Bellerin is one of our clients at B-Engaged and this is totally true for him – we've always wanted to show him as he is. He has strong opinions on issues like the environment and wants to be vocal, wants to be at the forefront of a cultural or a society change. It's our job to get that across in as authentic a way as possible and I think we do it; if you meet Hector in person he is exactly how you see him on social media."
Authenticity – more explicitly, a lack thereof – is a problem that effects the Middle East, where the social media market is less mature. A focus on working with influencers with huge followings is still pervasive in the Gulf but Shah believes it should be only a matter of time before that changes.
"I think the approach is more old school the further east you go," Shah says. "Talking to some Far East brands, you see mentalities that are 10 years out of date. The United States is at the front and then everyone else follows – even the UK and Europe is a few years behind.
"In Dubai and Abu Dhabi it is very much focused on the influencer space. You still have that mentality of we'll get X person with X amount of followers and it is bound to work. These are outdated tactics and I think there's an opportunity to look away from just influencers. Yes it has worked well for promoting tourism but once that is saturated what is the next step?
"There needs to be more done around building the identity and footprint of grassroots brands here in the region – how can they take that message of domestic success to a wider audience? Finding the best way to showcase is the challenge."
Dele Alli rehab week with us in Dubai
It was a great pleasure having Dele for a week of rehab in Dubai with us!

B-Engaged has already dipped its toe in the Middle East market, working with Dubai-based Transform Altitude Performance Center to create content in conjunction with Tottenham star Dele Alli. Shah hopes it is just the start and sees great potential in the region, particularly in the realm of female sport.
"Until there is a better infrastructure to create world-class athletes here, it may be difficult to build sports stars with big profiles to match those in Europe and the US. But I do think that women's sport here is a big opportunity and some brands are doing some fantastic work in that space – you can see successful localised campaigns from Nike and Adidas and when you go into sports shops Dubai Mall, the biggest range is female. Perhaps a focus on building female athletes from this region would be beneficial."

Sophia by Nigel Cooper
A story of love, loss, and mania
Sometimes your state of mind has a dark side…
SOPHIA: 22-YEAR OLD CONCERT CELLIST, SOON TO BE ENGAGED, A PERFECT BOYFRIEND, A PERFECT FAMILY, A PERFECT LIFE
But Sophia's picture-perfect life is about to take a drastic turn for the worse. After the tragic untimely death of her beloved boyfriend, Spencer, something happens to her – something dark.
After a period of post-traumatic stress, Sophia develops a severe personality disorder. Gone is the gracious upper middle class girl. In her place stands a dysfunctional young woman on a frenetic path of self-destruction and mayhem.
Sophia's world starts to fall apart. Something dark has got a grip on her mind and it refuses to let go. Her psychologist has never seen a case quite like it and is at a total loss. Sophia has recoiled into a dangerous and sinister place in her mind, but now it's spilling out into the real world with a vengeance.
She proceeds to tear her family apart, alienate her friends and destroy her career; soon there will be nothing left.
Can her new best friend, Delphine, save her before it's too late?

I'm an ex concert pianist so liked the idea of a classical musician as the main character.
Sophia got out of bed and went to make some fresh coffee. When she returned, she put the tray next to the bed, slid her dressing gown off her shoulders and allowed it to drop to the floor. She walked naked across the bedroom, took her cello out of its case, pulled her dressing table stool out into the middle of the floor and started to play one of Spencer's favourite pieces of music – the Melody from Gluck's opera, Orpheus and Eurydice. As she sat there playing the slow romantic melody naked, Spencer propped himself up on one elbow and watched her, admiring the perfect form of her body, the feminine lines, her neck, her shoulders, her collarbones, her breasts, waistline, legs, feet. The way she moved, so gracefully, as her bow moved slowly across the strings of her cello. His entire vision was filled with Sophia; his peripheral vision had shut down – just for her.
'You're so beautiful,' he whispered to himself.
Sophia read his lips and smiled at him as she continued to play, making her physical movements more sensual with a suggestive glint in her eyes. Spencer got out of bed and walked, naked, across the room and knelt down behind her, stroking her shoulder blades and running his fingers down her spine as she played. He moved her long lustrously tumbling auburn hair to the side to reveal her slender neck then started to plant delicate kisses on it. She responded by tilting her head to the side, giving him full access to every inch of her beautiful neck. He continued to kiss her neck, more slowly now, while moving his right hand up the side of her body so it came to rest just under her right armpit while his left hand navigated its way around her waist to her belly button. Sophia let out little gasps with each of his kisses and gentle touches.
As she continued to play, those feelings started to stir up deep inside her again. Spencer's fingertips delicately stroked Sophia's taught tummy, causing her to shudder with pleasure. Had her legs not already been wide open due to her cello being placed between them, she would have parted them right about now. Instead, she gracefully shifted her position on the stool, pulling in her tummy and pulling her buttocks upward, inviting his hand to venture lower. Spencer obliged and slid his hand down into her warm moistness. Sophia gasped out loud; the Melody she was playing suddenly went from piano to forte in the space of half a bar while Spencer's fingers did the most incredible job of pleasuring her.
The tempo of her playing started to increase, as did the tempo in her body. If her heart was a metronome, Gluck's slow Melody was now most inappropriate. As Spencer's hand increased in speed and pressure, Sophia's bow lifted off the strings and her right arm stretched out slowly like a swan stretching its wing out to dry in the sun. Her left hand slid down the neck of her cello until it came to rest on the hollow wooden body. Her lower body writhed and squirmed like an eel out of water, while her buttocks thrust back and forth on the stool faster and faster. Her orgasm was on its way, speeding full steam ahead. Nothing could stop it now. Her writhing and thrusting became stronger and more intense. Then, finally, she let out a long loud moan of pleasure as she pushed her cello from between her legs and clamped her knees together hard, locking Spencer's hand and fingers right were they were.
'Oh my god!' She gasped as she leaned forward and rested her forehead on the body of her cello, panting deeply, totally satisfied.

Christmas Blend by Evie Lester @evielester2
A cup of smooth, rich coffee and the joy Christmas—what could be better?
Beth Ross finally pulled her life together, opening a coffee shop in the small Minnesota town where her special Christmas blends have become a local sensation. For Beth, the holidays promise to be a season of fulfillment.
But when handsome, mysterious Chad Parker walks into her shop to place an order on the day after Thanksgiving her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.
The chemistry between them is impossible to deny. But they each have more baggage than Santa's sleigh and an out-of-control business rivalry that could stop any budding romance in its tracks.
I am a reader of romances and chick lit who decided to try my hand at it. This is my first effort.
With the holidays coming and all the seasonal beverages appearing in the local coffee shops at this time of year, I always begin to get in the holiday mood. I love coffee. And I love a pumpkin spice latte. And, of course, I love Christmas. So I decided to write a short, sweet romance inspired by this special feeling at this special time of year.

Fall in love.
Stay there.

In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites.
The stories in Perfect Need explore what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it's worth the risk to stay . . . or not.

#SocialFarnesina
Gentiloni: «Rapid pacification of Libya to combat terrorism» (Il Messaggero)
As Foreign Minister, would you say that we now have the first Italian victims of ISIS? Are Tunisia's Ansar al Sharia jihadists aligned with the Caliphate?
«We have the innocent victims of criminal terrorists. And then, it's very difficult to make a clear distinction between Daesh [ISIS, editor's note] and more traditional jihad-based terrorism. Certainly, we are seeing crises and terrorist threats arching across many of the countries of the Mediterranean and Gulf. And, of course, there is the historic presence of Ansar al Sharia in Tunisia. It's being outlawed led many terrorists to leave the country and join the ranks of foreign fighters in various other countries, and this has resulted in intersections with Daesh».
But who exactly has claimed responsibility for the attack?
«The state of confusion that I just described explains why there have been a series of claims, in which both the old and new terrorism seem to be mingled».
Was the target Tunisia or also tourists, and therefore Italians?
«In the first place, Tunisia, a country that symbolises what Islamic fundamentalist terrorism most fears: democracy, and a pluralist democracy. Indeed, Tunisia is an example of a country that, after the Arab Spring revolts, saw its government alternate between secular and Islamic, and whose current secular government includes a Minister for Labour from the moderate Islamic party. This kind of democratic collaboration is what Islamic terrorism seeks to destroy by attacking both the Parliament and a source of economic income, tourism».
Tunisia shares a border with Libya. Doesn't Italy's idea of pursuing an accord between the parties in Libya conflict with Egypt's, and possibly France's, that the Tobruk component should prevail militarily over the factions in Tripoli and Misurata?
«Negotiations and the accord that UN envoy Bernardino Leon is trying to accomplish have been supported by France as part of the EU and by Egypt in bilateral relations. Naturally, the work of the United Nations must aim to put together the greatest number of Libyan components possible».
Is this a feasible outcome? Is it realistic?
«It surely is between the Tobruk parliament, which we recognise, and Misurata. And I think the door should also be opened to Tripoli. It is clear that if there is at least a 60% basis for agreement among the Libyan components, the international community can capitalise on that, otherwise it will be limited to containing the terrorism. The pacification of Libya from without, in the absence of accord among the Libyans, is unthinkable».
President Mattarella has said that there is not much time, that terrorism must be confronted with urgency. The Renzi government, you and Minister Pinotti, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini, all insist that time is running out. When that happens, what will have to be done?
«Saying that time is running out doesn't mean wondering what to do afterward, but now. All the parties in Libya and all the countries of the region must be told clearly and unequivocally that every week that passes without a basic accord is a week that runs the risk of strengthening the spread of terrorism».
Time counts, so...
«Yes, but not in the sense that we need to go on to the next chapter but rather in the sense that we need to ratchet up the pressure in the current phase».
The attacks in Tunis, after those of Paris, Belgium and Denmark, show that the jihadists are unrelenting. What else are we to expect?
«The alarm did not go off with the attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis, it had already sounded in Paris, and afterward. We are all aware that the emergency stretches across the terrorist threats in Europe and in North Africa. Traditional jihadist forces have fused with this new phenomenon of Daesh and with its ability to mobilise what are perhaps isolated forces, loose cannons, lone wolves, inside European countries».
Should we be afraid?
«Awareness of the threat must be very high, but must not produce alarmist messages or hysterical behaviour. The way to respond, in Italy as in France, Belgium or Denmark, is to strengthen security, vigilance and intelligence activities. We must not change our way of life as the terrorists wish us to. We must not give up our freedoms: to circulate and to express ourselves. We will not retreat in the face of the terrorist threat».
There will be fewer Italians going light-heartedly to Tunisia...
«And so the international community is going to have to make a special effort to help Tunisia, which is a symbol of what is a frontier for us. In the coming days we will decide whether to promote a conference of donors in support of that economy. Today my first thoughts are of condolence for the Italian victims. This has been a severe blow, but Italy remains a safe country. We mustn't behave as though Daesh were suddenly on the road into Rome».
In terms of the Middle East, is Netanyah's victory good news or not?
«A foreign minister does not consider news of the electoral results of a friendly nation either good or bad. The good news is that Israel is a great democracy and its electoral results are to be respected. That said, the Italian government considers the only credible solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis lies in Israel's security and the birth of a Palestinian State. This is not Netanyahu's opinion today. We respect the vote but do not renounce our position».
When will the Italian marines be sent back to Italy to stay?
«There is contact between the Italian and Indian governments on the search for a satisfactory solution but such lengthy timeframes are unacceptable. I raised the issue with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, thanking him for having already spoken of it with Premier Modi and asking him to make an ulterior effort to overcome this crisis between two important United Nations member countries».

West Manchester Township Fire Department was on the scene of a gas leak on Altland Avenue at the intersection of North Diamond Street in the township Monday morning.
According to Fire Chief Clifton Laughman, Columbia Gas was digging up the street to cut off the leak to a vacant house. The meter shutoff was in the house so they were unable to stop the leak until the street was dug up. The has has since been shut off, and crews are ventilating the home.
Children at nearby West York schools were to be kept inside for lunch to minimize walkers through the neighborhood.
Residents in the immediate area of the house had been evacuated.

Q: Как установить python 3.10 на Linux Ubuntu Я ещё новичок в линукс, но совсем недавно скачал ubuntu. До этого сидел на Windows 10 и там проблем с последней версией python не было. Сейчас же обнаружилось, что на линуксе предустановлен python 3.8. А вот понятного объяснения как именно установить 3.10 я не нашёл. Также неразбериха возникла с официальной версией с python.org: куда именно его устанавливать после скачивания?

A: sudo apt install software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt install python3.10

Eсли не получилось,то :
sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev wget libbz2-dev
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.0/Python-3.10.0.tgz
tar -xf Python-3.10.*.tgz
cd Python-3.10.*/
./configure --enable-optimizations
make -j 4
sudo make altinstall

Здесь вместо install используется altinstall, чтобы сохранить путь к двоичному файлу Python по умолчанию в /usr/bin/python.

Amy Poehler announces 'Inside Out 2' at D23 Expo
Posted on September 9, 2022 September 12, 2022 Written by Rayane
Amy Poehler made a surprise appearance at D23 Expo to announce that Pixar is working on a sequel for Inside Out! She will be returning as Joy. You can read more about it below!
One of Pixar's most acclaimed films is getting a sequel. "Inside Out 2" is in the works from director Kelsey Mann, it was announced at the D23 Expo on Friday.
Amy Poehler is returning as Joy, while Meg LeFauve, who co-wrote the original movie with Pete Docter and Josh Cooley, is back to write the script. Mark Nielsen is producing the pic, which is in early production and coming in summer 2024.
The animated movie will feature new emotions and follow Riley as a teenager.
Released in 2015, the original "Inside Out" imagined a world where people have five core personified emotions — Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust — guiding their thoughts and actions through everyday life. The film zeroed in on the emotions of Riley, a middle-schooler struggling to adapt to her family's move from Minnesota to San Francisco, as her leading emotion Joy is expelled from the control center and forced to team up with her polar opposite Sadness in a quest through her mind. The film ended with the two coming to an understanding as Joy recognizes the need for Riley to experience an emotionally complex life, and she begins collaborating more with her fellow emotions to steer the girl through adolescence.
Docter ("Up" and "Soul") directed the original movie, which also starred Phyllis Smith (Sadness), Lewis Black (Anger), Bill Hader (Fear), Mindy Kaling (Disgust), Kaitlyn Dias (Riley), Diane Lane (Riley's mom) and Kyle MacLachlan (Riley's dad).
A critical success, "Inside Out" won best animated feature at the 2016 Oscars and received a nomination for original screenplay. The film was also financially successful, grossing over $800 million at the global box office.
"Inside Out 2" will follow Pixar's previously announced "Elemental," which hits theaters June 16, 2023.

William Herbert Bambridge (died 19 August 1917)
As part of our project to document the names on Duncan's Cenotaph in Charles Hoey Park on Canada Avenue, here is what we know about William Herbert Bambridge, who died in France on 19 August 1917:
"FORMER RESIDENT KILLED IN ACTION
Many in Cowichan will regret the death in action of Captain William Herbert Bambridge, Royal Fusiliers, on August 19th. He was shot through the head by a sniper on the western front. The only son of Mr. W.S. Bambridge, Mus. B., of Marlborough, he was born 28 years ago and educated at Marlborough College, where he made a name as a fine cricketer and all-round athlete. After leaving college he came out to Duncan and was in the district about two and a half years engaged in farming.
He had a fine baritone voice and was much in demand at concerts. He sang in the choir of St. John's, Duncan. In 1910 he returned to England to have his voice trained at the Royal Academy of Music. He was for some time afterwards a member of Mr. George Edwardes' company at the Adelphi, where he took parts in musical comedy, including "The Girl From Utah."
At the outbreak of war he enlisted in the University and Public schools battalion of the Royal Fusiliers and rose gradually to commissioned rank. He went out to the front a year ago, was bombing officer to the battalion and became acting captain last June."

La Vanette de la primera generación fue producida desde 1985 hasta 1995, cuando fue sustituida por las Vanette E y Vanette Cargo, basadas en el monovolumen Nissan Serena. La Vanette E compartía la estructura del Nissan Serena pero carecía de ventanillas laterales y asientos traseros, y la Vanette Cargo era más larga y alta.

TASTE OF THE TERRACE: Crawley Town respond in perfect style to Luton challenge after Chesterfield defeat
Following Crawley Town's abject defeat on Tuesday by bottom of the table Chesterfield it was no surprise that Reds fans viewed the visit of table-topping Luton Town with a fair degree of pessimism. They couldn't have been more wrong.
Monday, 23rd October 2017, 5:08 pm
Crawley Town fan Geoff Thornton gives his views in his new column. SUS-150216-162912002
In a rumbustious end-to-end contest, Crawley more than matched their title favourite opponents.
I had no doubts the Reds would play better than they had in midweek but I was mightily impressed with the intensity of their game especially as they rediscovered self-belief.
In a line-up that included no passengers, three things stood out that were both part of the reason Crawley played so well and also recognition of it.
Josh Yorwerth returned to the side initially appearing in the role of third centre half in a back-five as we faced an expected onslaught from the visitors.
He was soon able to adopt his intended role deep in midfield breaking up Luton's attacking forays.
The young Welshman was everywhere and took his swashbuckling style of play to a new level.
Everyone followed his example, frustrating Luton to the extent that the usually dangerous Danny Hylton was the first man hooked by Hatters' manager Nathan Jones.
Up front we witnessed the equally blessed deployment of Panutche Camara to lead the attack.
Whilst the youngster strikes me as being one of L.S.Lowry's Matchstick Men, his football was quite unique.
He chased everything and possessed such pace that he won many seemingly hopeless causes. His ability to trap a ball on his toecap was remarkable.
Harry Kewell may have caused some surprise with his team selection but his choice was spot-on and he followed up with a decision that is very rare in today's game.
As his opposite number rang the changes trying to unlock our defence, HK accepted the ancient advice that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and his starting 11 each played the full 97 minutes.
Returning players often don't celebrate if they score against their former club but James Collins paid us the bigger compliment of not scoring at all, although he would have done if we had let him.
Neither set of fans could understand why the match hadn't finished 4-4.
If luck had any part in the goalless outcome then it favoured the defences.
For the home fans starved of success the result was as good as a win and the prolonged and heartfelt applause at the end of the match was as emotional as it was well deserved.
It is one thing to drop from a high point to the depths in a single game but this side's improvement over just four days simply beggars belief.
We all knew they had it in them to challenge the best in League Two and now the lads should believe it themselves.
Next stop must be consistency followed by better finishing. Bring on the Imps.

Police Warn Parents Evil MOMO Is Back
ByNews Team May 1, 2019
A few months ago, a strange viral sensation called "Momo" began popping up in children's videos on YouTube and alarming parents. Momo is a strange puppet that looks a bit like the ghost from the movie "The Ring."
The puppet looks like a thin woman with a long face and large circles around her bulging eyes, with greasy and stringy hair. It wasn't just the look of the puppet that was creepy either, it was widely reported that the puppet was appearing in popular children's videos and encouraging them to do violent, destructive and even suicidal things.
As media reports about Momo went viral and parents began to raise concern, YouTube made an announcement saying that they banned any content encouraging violence from their platform and that they would continue to keep an eye on the situation.
We want to clear something up regarding the Momo Challenge: We've seen no recent evidence of videos promoting the Momo Challenge on YouTube. Videos encouraging harmful and dangerous challenges are against our policies.
— YouTube (@YouTube) February 27, 2019
Shortly after YouTube made their announcement, new media reports surfaced suggesting that Momo was nothing more than a hoax. Media sources suggested that since no children were hurt or killed, and no actual violence was reported, that the story was nothing more than a viral hoax. However, disturbing clips featuring Momo were actually appearing in children's videos and giving very gruesome and violent instructions, so even if no one has been hurt yet, somebody out there is trying to instigate harm.
Police also still seem to be concerned about Momo and have issued a new warning to parents.
The new warning from police has indicated that the Momo puppet has been injected into different versions of the viral "Baby Shark" videos. "Baby Shark" is a children's song about a family of sharks. Baby Shark was initially a campfire song, but it has been popularized since the mid-2010s by social media, online video, and radio.
The new reports are even more disturbing than the stories from a few months ago, because now it is being reported that users were receiving graphic images as well as suicide instructions. In the previous renditions of Momo, children were given violent instructions, but graphic images were not included in the previous videos.
Spanish police warned on social media that the new version of Momo is a threat to children. Multiple families in the country have reported seeing suicide instructions in recent Baby Shark videos.
A warning from police said that Momo has "resurfaced with some damaging modifications."
"No, Momo does not exist, it is an old viral character that has resurfaced with some damaging modifications. We have to work together to not allow it to spread," a warning from police said.
Local Spanish media reported that in one of the videos the character said, "Hi, I am Momo. I want to play with you. Look for a knife in your kitchen and cut your little hands. If you do not do it, Momo will come after you."
Police said that parents should supervise the videos that their children are watching and warned not to leave them alone to watch YouTube videos on their own.
The creator of the Momo doll was very upset about the hysteria that his puppet created, so he publicly destroyed the doll.
Japanese sculptor Keisuke Aiso is the creator of the doll, and he told The Sun that, "the curse is broken."
"The children can be reassured Momo is dead. She doesn't exist and the curse is gone. (The sculpture) doesn't exist anymore, it was never meant to last. It was rotten and I threw it away," Aiso said.
"It is a ghoul, about the death of a woman in childbirth, in a way its reason for being is to scare children, but it wasn't supposed to be used in the way it has. It was never meant to be used to make children harm themselves or cause any physical harm," he explained.
Even though the original doll is gone, that has not stopped copy cat pranksters from creating their own versions of Momo that are even more terrifying. If you have children, the best way to handle something like this is to simply sit down with them and talk with them, make sure they know that these types of things are going around, and explain to them that they can't be hurt by something that they see online.

Editors Luis Gonçalves (Princeton University) and Carlo Matos (City Colleges of Chicago) are calling for submissions "by authors of Portuguese descent in the United States and Canada that explore the Portuguese migrant experience in all its various manifestations" the announcement says.
According to the editors, "Readers will be introduced to aspects of Portuguese-American and Portuguese-Canadian literatures and cultures in order to heighten their critical awareness and sensitivity to cultural nuances of the Portuguese Diaspora in the United States and Canada, which are too often ignored."

- the oncologist said a few times that he was 'worried' about Pablo's tumour situation - that he has only had one surgery and that the whole tumour wasn't removed. He really believes that Pablo needs radiation.
- the treatment takes place 5 days a week (monday to friday) for 5.5 weeks. Each treatment lasts 5-10 minutes.
Pablo gave the okay to get this process started. After all the research that Pablo did, he pretty much made his decision to go ahead with radiation even before this appointment. I am really hoping that this works and that there is no more tumour EVER AGAIN.
I am a 63 year old brain stem glioma patient who has recently completed 29 treatments of proton beam therapy. After only 2 1/2 weeks of treatment, the tumor was reduced in size by 20%. I could not be happier with the accurate technology and the results. God continues to bless throughout this process.Yes, there may be minor inconveniences with the treatment, but keep faith and high hopes that the cancer will be treated successfully.
That's unreal what only 2.5 weeks of treatment did Glen! Amazing! No proton therapy for us unfortunately but we're hoping for great results from plain old radiation. Good luck to you!


I was commissioned to take the promotional photographs of Mumpsimus for their debut show at the 2014 Adelaide Cabaret Festival 'You, Me & the Bloody Sea' as well as create artwork to be projected on a screen backdrop during their show.
Mumpsimus is the plaything of award winning Adelaide artists Cameron Goodall, Quincy Grant and Andy Packer. The trio, along with collaborators, create an alchemy of songbook and storybook. Original stories sung to life by outstanding artists.


It all started in 1981. My first brand love. I was 9 years old. The brand was MacGregor. Not Peter Rabbit's nemesis. Not Ewan. But the world's greatest golf club used by the world's greatest golfer, Jack Nicklaus, seen by me at the world's greatest golfing event: The Ryder Cup...at my home club! He was God and I wanted to be like him. So naturally I wanted MacGregor.
Perhaps not the hippest entry into an 18 year career in brand creation & brand design...but I imagine it's one of the more unusual. MacGregor connected with me and got me hooked on brands & branding. And I've never looked back.
I love connecting the dots. For me it's all about creating & connecting fantastic brand design ideas with great clients. I've been lucky enough to do this for the last 18 years across FMCG, luxury and service brands. Long may that continue…Onwards!

Virtual reality (VR) technology the third era in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) opens a vast opportunity to be applied in the field of education and at the same time support the theory of constructivism. Virtual Reality (VR) system is able to project an entire virtual environment in the computer displaying 3 dimensional elements of sight, hearing and sense of touch (haptic). This paper presents a VR technique to tackle the challenges faced by secondary school Physics' teachers. The `Virtual Physics Lab' is developed and applied as an alternative to assist the current teaching processes. It is foreseen when VR is introduced into Malaysia's educational system, this research will be one of the valuable resources to assist the growth of government's `Smart School' project. Elementary research methodologies, gathering information, prototype design and development and testing, information analysis and documentaries are the steps engaged to accomplish the main research objectives. A 3D Game Engine is used as the tool to develop the prototype system.


Made a short video showing off the current state of the project, talking about bugs, the future of the project, and a short play session of the survival map.
It was 4 A.M. and I have been wanting to release the demo for quite a while, but there were too many things to address. So I made a video about where I and the game are at right now. The video shows off what will be in the demo and what is currently being worked on as well as some future plans for the project as a whole. At the end of the video I do a short play session of the survival map, bugs and all. Thank you all so much for being patient and keeping up with the project, I am hoping to release very soon.
