Today very few people can afford to do that».
Next up is Liam Gallagher, founder and frontman of Oasis, the archetypal band of the 1990s. «You can tell I'm a born revolutionary just by looking at me. My style is basic, a mixture of casual and outdoor, but I'm more of a trendsetter than all of my colleagues put together,» he tells Icon.
Another cover protagonist is actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster. After appearing in the romcom Love Actually when he was 13 and in 2020's most viewed TV series, The Queen's Gambit, at the age of 30, he will be playing one of the most controversial figures in the British pop industry, Sex Pistols' manager Malcolm McLaren, in the series Pistol, from Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle.

"Football is a mirror of life," the football agent Mino Raiola tells Icon
Icon, the Mondadori Group's male lifestyle and fashion brand, is launching "Ready, steady, play", a special issue to talk about and celebrate sport, as a symbol of re-emergence and a new style of life, and the worlds that surround it: fashion and sportswear, to coincide with the opening of the Milan Fashion Week, wellbeing and new technologies.

"A new season is opening up for everyone, that's what we hope and our way of experiencing sport could really become a symbol of the re-emergence that is on the horizon and an agent of social change," said the magazine's editor, Andrea Tenerani.
The issue opens with an exclusive conversation between the editor of Icon and Mino Raiola, the 'king' of football agents, who the magazine asked about the values that underlie sport: "Inclusion, equality, the need for a level playing field and to learn to work and live together regardless of where one comes from: football is a mirror of life. These values, which are fundamental for football, are also fundamental for society and in the daily life of all of us", he told Icon. Raiola also explained to the magazine edited by Andrea Tenerani his view about his work over the years: "I leave it to the players and my family to judge me, if they are happy, then I'm happy too. And then, as we say in such circumstances, if you choose a job that you love, you only have to work one day and you'll never have to work another day in your life", concluded "the man behind the success of some of football's greatest talents of the age".
One of the stars of one of the four Icon covers is the football player Erling Haaland. A rising star of European and world football, Haaland talks about himself in an exclusive interview, conducted in partnership with The Daily Telegraph and leading sports journalist Jason Burt. The Norwegian striker confesses to the magazine that his great obsession is the Champions League. He started following it when he was a little boy and made his first appearance on the small field near his home at the age of 19 where he immediately made his mark. "I used to watch the matches when I was very young: I don't remember when the Champions League wasn't a part of my life. There were some great teams with legendary top-scoring players. My dream became that of playing in the Champions League and scoring lots of goals. It's the tournament where the best players play: that's their place". And he also admits how important it is to win, "It's my biggest dream!"
Icon also has a cover dedicated to the Azzurri who in these days are engaged in Euro 2020: the magazine met the Italian national football team, led by manager Roberto Mancini, in Coverciano where they posed for an exclusive photo shoot in the uniform designed by Giorgio Armani for Emporio Armani.
The collaboration between Icon and Bruce Weber continues and in this special issue the outstanding American photographer returns with a more than 20-page feature with portraits of emerging athletes, including, exclusively, Sean O'Malley, also known as Suga, the most promising fighter of the new generation of fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and protagonist of one of the issue's covers.
Icon also gives space in this sports issue to the rising stars of Italian sport and the disciplines making their debut at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The magazine has selected as the symbol of this generation of young stars, who have been called upon to establish the new rules in their respective disciplines, Ludovico Fossali, the speed climbing champion, captured by photographer Giampaolo Sgura and another protagonist of one of the covers of this special issue of Icon.

TUCKER CHAMPIONS REFORM IN REPORTING CARRIER CRASH STATISTICS
Cherry Hill, NJ USA, May 28, 2013 - Current standards in carrier crash reporting are unfair, misleading, and may a have negative impact on carrier selection according to Jeff Tucker, CEO of Tucker Company Worldwide, and the MCSAC CSA Subcommittee on which he serves. On April 9, 2013, the MCSAC passed to FMCSA the CSA Subcommittee's recommendations for improvement to the CSA system.
Tucker remains baffled that the agency didn't recognize and act on the obvious need for these changes long ago. He believes certain elements within FMCSA have internal agendas that outweigh reason and due process, and those elements seem to be ruling the day. He hopes this partial list of recommendations will begin to turn the tide:
For a carrier's Crash BASIC, exclude crashes where there is a clear determination that the carrier was not at fault or (in the language of the regulations), the crash was non-preventable. (E.g., don't penalize the carrier when a car runs into it while the truck was stopped at a red light).
Evaluate changing the definition of reportable DOT crash for purposes of CSA to include only fatalities or injuries (e.g., exclude deer kills where no cars or people were involved). FMCSA should standardize the data it gathers from the individual 50 states.
Until these reforms can be enacted, responsible carriers will continue to be misrepresented under the current carrier selection framework.
Tucker Company Worldwide, Inc. is America's oldest privately held operating freight broker and is based in Cherry Hill, NJ. Tucker specializes in arranging shipments of high value, high security, climate controlled and otherwise sensitive materials for some of the world's best known brands. Tucker is active in its trade association and serves on a select committee reviewing motor carrier safety for the U. S. Department of Transportation. Tucker has been a first responder supporting the government with trucking of relief supplies for most of the nation's natural and man-made disasters in the last 30 years.

Penske Truck Rental Kicks-Off Paralyzed Veterans of America Fundraising Effort
A Great Way for Customers to Help Support our Heroes
READING, Pa., May 10, 2013 – Penske Truck Rental is proud to announce a new fundraising effort to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America's Mission: ABLE campaign – to ensure that veterans with disabilities get the care, benefits and job opportunities they've earned and deserve.
Penske Truck Rental will invite its consumer rental customers to donate $1.00 to support Mission: ABLE when they rent a one-way truck between Memorial Day 2013 and Memorial Day 2014. To multiply the impact of its customers' contributions to helping our veterans, Penske Truck Rental will also match each $1.00 donation its customers make during the duration of the campaign. Penske Truck Rental is a business unit of Penske Truck Leasing.
"We're pleased to be working with the Paralyzed Veterans of America and supporting the admirable work they do to help our veterans," said Brian Hard, President and CEO of Penske Truck Leasing. "We want to show our sincere appreciation to these outstanding men and women for all they have done and the incredible sacrifices they have made serving our country."
Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Penske Truck Rental Ford Mustang, helped announce the giving effort via Twitter at the NASCAR Nationwide Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at the Darlington, S.C. Raceway.
"This is a really cool program between Penske Truck Rental and the Paralyzed Veterans and I'm excited to just be a little part of it," said Logano. "Paralyzed Veterans of America is a great organization that does a lot to help a bunch of people, who don't really get the credit they deserve. And for Penske Truck Rental to step up and institute a program that could end up donating a lot of money is a pretty cool deal. I'm excited to help spread the word and to be a part of an organization that will help support this cause. Hopefully, we can win with the Penske Truck Rental Ford Mustang this weekend at Darlington and really help spread the word."
The Mission: ABLE campaign was designed to enlist Americans – citizens, communities and corporations – to help ensure our paralyzed heroes are provided the physical care needed to live a healthy life; receive the benefits they've earned through military service; and obtain job training and opportunities for new and fulfilling careers.
"Through our Mission: ABLE campaign, Paralyzed Veterans of America fights to ensure that seriously injured veterans get the care, benefits and job opportunities that they've earned and deserve," said U.S. Army veteran Bill Lawson, National President of Paralyzed Veterans. "Through this Mission: ABLE partnership with Penske Truck Rental, we'll be able to strengthen this important work and help more veterans live full, independent and productive lives."
About Paralyzed Veterans of America
Paralyzed Veterans of America was founded in the mid-1940s by a group of spinal cord injured American heroes of World War II. They created a non-profit organization to meet the challenges they faced then — from a medical community not ready to treat them to an environment with many barriers for people who use wheelchairs. Today, Paralyzed Veterans' national office and our 34 chapters continue the fight to make America a better place for all veterans and people with disabilities.

Ryder Named One of CivilianJobs.com's 2013 Most Valuable Employers (MVE) for Military
MVEs are recognized in the Month of May to help honor Armed Forces Day, May 18, 2013
MIAMI, May 9, 2013 - Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in commercial transportation and supply chain management solutions, has been named a winner for the 2013 Most Valuable Employers (MVE) for Military recognition. Marking the fifth year of its publication in 2013, the MVE recognition serves to help military-experienced job seekers and veterans identify the top employers to target for civilian careers. MVEs are selected annually from US-based employers like Ryder, whose recruiting, training and retention plans best serve military service members and veterans.
As a leader in transportation and logistics, Ryder understands the unique work experiences and values the leadership qualities inherent in military personnel. Veterans have skills that make them uniquely qualified to work in transportation and logistics. They also bring other intangible qualities, such as a strong work ethic, mission focus, and teamwork that add value to the organization.
Ryder recently surpassed its goal to hire 1,000 military veterans, a full 10 months ahead of the time frame given during their initial pledge. Ryder made its pledge in November 2011 as part of the company's involvement in Hiring Our Heroes, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation focused on enhancing collaboration between the public and private sectors to help veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment. The more than 1,000 former military service men and women who were hired by Ryder are employed in a variety of roles, including as truck drivers, diesel mechanics, logistics personnel and warehouse employees. Since joining Hiring Our Heroes in November 2011, Ryder has increased the percentage of veterans in its almost 23,000 employee U.S. workforce from 8 percent to 10 percent. The company has also doubled the amount of recently-separated veterans hired in that same time period.
Ryder has long benefited from hiring military veterans throughout its history. Since stepping up its recruiting effort with the Hiring Our Heroes program, the company has implemented a number of new initiatives:
• Launching a new military recruiting website at www.ryder.com/military to help veterans easily match their military skills with open positions at Ryder.
• Attending more than 50 military career fairs hosted by the U.S. Chamber's Hiring Our Heroes program.
• Establishing a 20-plus member veteran hiring task force.
• Focusing efforts on customizing on-boarding, training, and development practices to better meet the needs of veterans transitioning to civilian jobs.
"It is a great honor to have Ryder named among the winners for the MVE award," said Ed Tobon, Director of Recruiting Services. "Recruiting veterans is a cause that Ryder continues to be fully committed to as we look to continually attract, retain and develop the most capable talent. It is our hope that these men and women will continue to consider Ryder as they transition into a civilian career."
The 2013 Most Valuable Employers (MVE) for Military was open to all U.S.-based companies. The winners were selected based on surveys in which employers outlined their recruiting, training and retention plans that best serve military service members and veterans. In addition to being recognized in the May issue of Military Transition News, CivilianJobs.com's worldwide military base newspaper, winning employers will also be featured on the CivilianJobs.com website.
Ryder attracts and develops top talent while fostering an inclusive culture where leaders engage their people and embrace diversity in order to innovate, pursue our mission and build on our values.

MESSENGER COURIER ASSOCIATION IS NOW THE CUSTOMIZED LOGISTICS & DELIVERY ASSOCIATION
NEW ORLEANS, LA, MAY 9, 2013 – In response to the changing face of the industry, the Messenger Courier Association of America (MCAA) has updated its brand to become the Customized Logistics & Delivery Association (CLDA). The rebranding effort was announced today by CLDA president, Rob Johnstone, at the association's annual meeting in New Orleans.
"The name change comes as part of an overall rebranding effort to better reflect what our members do," says Johnstone. "Several years ago, the MCAA board began wrestling with the issue of our name. Some felt the 'messenger' and 'courier' terms no long fit. The words restricted customers' views of what the association's members could deliver. While the name served us well for the first 25 years of the organization, it does not tell the story of what our members do today. Our members still provide on-demand, same-day deliveries, but many have added services like logistical support, distribution, warehousing, and inventory management to their traditional courier duties. They are critical contributors to the global supply chain, going well beyond their courier roots to meet their customers' changing needs."
The name change is part of a multi-year effort to rebrand the organization to better express what the marketplace demands of its members. The association did original research to get a true picture of what their customers wanted from their members today and tomorrow. The results of that research helped them learn about customers' perceptions of CLDA members; what customers would like to hear to better understand their importance in the global supply chain and what the association and its member need to communicate to improve customers' perception and use of its members. "It brought the voice of the customer in to help us build the new brand and the resulting name," says Johnstone. "In January we presented the new name and rebranding effort to the board and they enthusiastically endorsed it. I am proud to call myself the first president of the new Customized Logistics & Delivery Association – CLDA."
About CLDA:
The Customized Logistics & Delivery Association (formerly the MCAA) is the voice of its industry. Its members deliver cost-effective, flexible and efficient delivery solutions and logistical support throughout North America and the world. CLDA is the largest trade association in the industry. Its members provide customized time-critical and last-mile deliveries to both expediters and shippers. Since 1987, the association and its processor - MCAA, have promoted and advanced the professionalism of the customized logistics and delivery industry through networking, education and advocacy.

CON-WAY INC. REPORTS 2013 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
ANN ARBOR, Mich. —May 1, 2013—Con-way Inc. (NYSE:CNW) today reported 2013 first-quarter net income of $14.0 million, or 25 cents per diluted share. The results compare to first-quarter 2012 net income of $25.6 million, or 46 cents per diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share were 19 cents in the 2013 first quarter compared to 45 cents in last year's first quarter. (Non-GAAP items, consisting of tax-related adjustments for both years, are detailed in the attached reconciliation.)
Operating income in the first quarter was $31.6 million compared to $55.7 million earned in the first quarter a year ago. Revenue for the first quarter was $1.34 billion compared to $1.37 billion a year ago.
Commenting on the quarter's results, Douglas W. Stotlar, Con-way's president and CEO, said, "On a consolidated basis, our first quarter 2013 results were below our expectations and therefore were disappointing. However, the first quarter also provided further validation that our efforts to expand margins are gaining traction and moving in the right direction."
"At Con-way Freight, several cost items, most of which were short-term or infrequent in nature, impacted first quarter operating income," Stotlar noted."We have made encouraging progress on the key initiatives of lane-based pricing and line-haul efficiency, both of which are foundational to our three-year plan. As these initiatives ramp up during 2013, we continue to expect improved financial performance, particularly in the second half of the year."
In the first quarter, Menlo Worldwide Logistics posted slightly higher net revenues, but saw operating income decline. "Menlo is predominantly a contract-driven business with a relatively long sales cycle. As such, there can be variability in their financial results," Stotlar stated. "However, new-business wins during 2013 are significantly improved, which positions Menlo well for revenue growth as these contracts are implemented."
Con-way Truckload's first quarter revenue was essentially flat with 2012, while operating income was down slightly. "Adverse weather and fewer working days affected load count and efficiency," Stotlar said. "The rate environment remains stable and we look for Con-way Truckload to benefit from low driver turnover and consistent operational execution," he concluded.
Con-way's first-quarter effective tax rate was 16.5 percent, compared to 38.1 percent for the same period in 2012. Both years included discrete tax adjustments that impacted the effective tax rate (presented in the attached reconciliation). In the first quarter of 2013, Con-way recognized $3.4 million of discrete tax benefits, consisting mainly of the effect of the 2012 alternative-fuel credit, which was extended by legislation enacted in early 2013.
Segment results in the first quarter for Con-way's principal operations were as follows:
For the first quarter of 2013, Con-way Freight reported:
• Revenue of $827.5 million, a decline from last year's first quarter revenue of $831.0 million. The quarter had 1 fewer workdays and lower average daily tonnage, mostly offset by improved yield.
• Operating income of $16.0 million, a decline from the $34.5 million earned in the year-ago period. The decline in operating income resulted primarily from increased operating expenses, including several items previously announced on March 19, which totaled approximately $14 million. Specifically, these items included a reserve for a large vehicular claim, a charge related to a transition to new technology, costs associated with adverse weather, and field training expenses pertaining to line-haul efficiency initiatives.
• Revenue per hundredweight, or yield, increased 3.7 percent from the previous-year first quarter. Excluding fuel surcharge, yield rose 3.4 percent.
• Tonnage per day declined 1.3 percent compared to the 2012 first quarter.
• Operating ratio of 98.1 in the 2013 first quarter compared to 95.8 in the previous-year period.
For the first quarter of 2013, Menlo Worldwide Logistics reported:
• Revenue of $392.4 million, down 6.4 percent from the prior year first quarter revenue of $419.1 million. Lower revenue primarily reflects declines in transportation management services.
• Net revenue of $157.2 million, a 0.9 percent increase from $155.7 million in the previous year first quarter.
• Operating income of $6.5 million, compared to last year's first quarter operating income of $12.3 million. Operating income was affected by startup expenses resulting from expanded business with a large global customer, termination of certain customer contracts and increased expense for IT-related projects.
TRUCKLOAD
For the first quarter of 2013, Con-way Truckload reported:
• Revenue of $157.0 million, compared to last year's first-quarter revenue of $157.3 million. Revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge, was up 3.3 percent from the first quarter of 2012, offsetting the effect of lower business levels from adverse weather and one less working day.
• Operating income of $10.0 million was also affected by adverse weather, fewer working days and higher maintenance expense. This compares to $10.6 million in the previous-year period.
• Loaded miles declined 3.1 percent compared to last year's first quarter.
• Empty miles of 9.7 percent, compared to 9.3 percent in the previous-year first quarter.
• Operating ratio exclusive of fuel surcharges of 91.8, compared to 91.3 in the first quarter of 2012.
CORPORATE AND ELIMINATIONS
Corporate and Eliminations includes the company's Road Systems, Inc. trailer manufacturing unit, as well as other corporate activities. These activities produced operating losses of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2013, and $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. 2013 results include $1.1 million of defined benefit pension costs

Famous Father Had Highest 'Expectations'
By Heller McAlpin
You would think, wouldn't you, that the man who created such heartrendingly sympathetic children as Oliver Twist, Pip, Tiny Tim and poor Little Nell would be a stupendous father. Well, the Charles Dickens who emerges from Robert Gottlieb's Great Expectations,a compulsively readable if occasionally repetitive account of what happened to the great writer's brood of seven sons and three daughters, is not so wonderful.
Daddy Dearest welcomed each new addition to his family with bemused delight — if a tendency to blame the rapid proliferation on his wife Catherine. Dickens was an attentive father, strict but playful with his children when they were young — and much revered and loved by them. But soon after his boys were in long pants — around age 5 — he was busily mapping their careers, often overseas, with an eye to relieving himself of the burden of supporting them as soon as possible. Worse, he was already expressing disappointment, to both them and the world, that they "lacked not only his genius but his compulsion to work," his self-confidence and his "rigor and discipline."
Great Expectations joins an avalanche of publications marking the bicentennial of Dickens' Feb. 7, 1812, birth, including Claire Tomalin's absorbing investigative biography, Charles Dickens: A Life, and Christopher Hitchens' final Vanity Fair essay, "Charles Dickens's Inner Child." What Gottlieb's book adds to this profusion is an accessible, sharply focused and opinionated portrait of what the "magical" but dominating father wrought at home. As in his previous book, Lives and Letters, the former editor-in-chief of Knopf and The New Yorkerbrings an enticingly light touch to his scholarship, resulting in a book that reads like haute literary gossip.
Gottlieb wisely highlights two great dividing lines in the lives of Dickens' offspring: their parents' separation in 1858 and their father's death in 1870. The first occurred when Dickens, with the ruthlessness of a king, banished his corpulent, exhausted and, he claimed, dull and lethargic wife of 22 years, "packing her off to her own establishment (with a generous settlement) and removing her children from her." Gottlieb does not hide his outrage at Dickens' "odious behavior," which was spurred, he believes, by a sort of midlife crisis and infatuation with the young actress Ellen Ternan, with whom he possibly had an illegitimate 11th child who died in infancy. The repercussions of the Dickens' nasty separation included social ostracism for their two surviving daughters and an added urgency to disperse all those distracting, needy sons, exiling five of them to the far ends of the Earth in search of opportunities.
Michael Lionstar / Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Robert Gottlieb is the author of several books. He previously served as editor of both The New Yorker and Alfred A. Knopf.
How disappointing were the children? Gottlieb cherry-picks lively quotes from Dickens' letters in which he complains of "having brought up the largest family ever known with the smallest disposition to do anything for themselves." Several of the sons who were sent as teens to join the Navy, the Indian Army, the Canadian Mounties or to manage sheep stations in Australia, lived and died in debt. Gambling, liquor and congenital heart ailments contributed to their early demise.
The two sons who were allowed to remain in England and were given a chance to discover their own vocations — literary editor and lawyer — led the happiest, most successful lives. Dickens' favorite daughter, Kate, also achieved success, as a child portraitist. This leads Gottlieb to wonder how the others might have fared had they been kept at home and given "time to develop at their own speed" — which of course reflects contemporary American child-rearing philosophy. Gottlieb doesn't fully acknowledge that Dickens' decisions regarding his sons' education (including boarding school at age 7) and career options were hardly uncommon in Victorian England.
As for Dickens' greater sympathy for his fictional children than for his actual offspring, Gottlieb offers a plausible, if much simplified, explanation: "All his tragic child victims are stand-ins" for Dickens himself as a boy. In other words, Dickens' "rage and self-pity over what he saw as his harrowing childhood" — and his pride at having overcome it without help from anyone — left him with little empathy for the travails of his own relatively fortunate children. Yet, as Gottlieb makes clear in this book that raises intriguing questions about parental pressures and expectations, Dickens' progeny remained devoted to him and his legacy throughout their lives.

See us featured on Fios 1 News!!!!
Once a month Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room on Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown hires two women to host a Victorian tea re-enactment.
The re-enactors, best friends Charla Schnupp of Floral Park and Faith Turner of Farmingdale, follow a prewritten script that is a continued story line and dress in period costume and talk about period happenings.
"The script is an ongoing story, though most of the best parts are improvised in the moment; we always recite poetry, play parlor games, discuss the history and sometimes we include a time period song," Schnupp explained.
"Though to be honest we usually adlib a lot; we are off script most of the time because we love throwing one another curves," Turner added.
Although they have no formal acting experience, both women have been involved in re-enacting Medieval and Renaissance for several years.
"For the past three years I have also been re-enacting the Civil War and WWII with my husband who is also a re-enactor," Schnupp said.
After passing Lady Anne's on Hempstead Turnpike several times, Turner said she was extremely intrigued. After their first visit they pitched their idea to Girly-Ann, the owner of Tea Room.
"We had wanted to do a Victorian re-enactment group tea but when she offered to hire us to host teas for her this was a wonderful opportunity," Turner said.
In addition to the show at Lady Anne's, Schnupp and Turner have their own company, Living History.
"We host private events, baby and bridal showers, adult and child tea and birthday parties in any time period or in fantasy dress," Turner said. "Additionally we offer dressed educational lectures to school children of all ages."
Their next event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Lady Anne's Tea Room has been decorated with antiques, bone china, flowers and linens. They offer diners an assortment of tea sandwiches, scones, salads, sweet pastries all served on decorated cake tiers. They can accommodate large and small parties. Walk-ins are welcome, however reservations are recommended for weekends. Their Gift Shoppe offers table lace, candles, photo albums, stationery, cards and journals, home decor, unique gifts, china, home fragrance and jewelry.
"You'll also find beautiful teacups, teapots, Lang cards, handmade cards, gorgeous wreaths, dried florals and decorative accessories, from Victorian elegant country, to shabby chic," its website boasts.
For more information, Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room & Gift Shoppe is located at 3711 Hempstead Tpke., 750-8283, www.ladyannesvintagetearoom.com. For more information about Living History visit http://livinghistoryservices.tripod.com/.
Note: Mrs. Turner is no longer associated with Living History, though everyone here wishes her well.
For a unique and entertaining experience this weekend, consider a Victorian tea re-enactment.
On Saturday, February 9th, at 7:30 PM, re-enactors Charla Schnupp and Faith Turner will be hosting the Victorian tea party at Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room. The performance includes a storyline, poetry readings, parlor games, history discussions as well as a chorus of songs from that era.
Both women have been involved in re-enactments for several years, including performances from the Medieval, Renaissance, Civil War and World War II eras. So for those who enjoy a nice cup of tea, good company, and a bit of history, come to Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room.
Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room is located at 3711 Hempstead Turnpike, Levittown, NY 11756. 516-750-8283. More information is available on Lady Anne's the Victorian Re-enactors' websites.
Ladies dressed as if they stepped out of a Victorian painting serve finger sandwiches and tea as we interact with guests speaking in the vernacular and of subject matters of the time. Victorian songs, parlor games, poetry, gossip, create a fun and interactive display that will be remembered for years to come.
"Do not applaud me. It is not I who speaks to you, but history which speaks through my mouth."

Q. The most common paragraph in a scientific paper's introduction is the last one: "The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 1 will . . . ; section 2 will . . . ," etc. Is it correct not to use a colon after follows, but rather a period? Using a period would allow us to change this long sentence into four or five sentences to cover all the remaining sections.
A. Although it's not incorrect to use a period, a colon is conventionally used after "as follows." Please see CMOS 17, 6.64 (Colons with "As Follows"). Further, a colon may introduce a series of sentences instead of just one phrase or clause (6.63, Lowercase or Capital Letter after a Colon).


— 10th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1856 ; 2 births and 1 death on the passage ; Henry Thomas Cornelius , surgeon-superintendent.
The Gomelza arrived on the 10th June with 244 immigrants ; two births and one death were the casualties before final disembarkation. The immigrants appeared to be, generally, a well-selected class of persons. Mr. W.H. Connell was the master, and Mr. H.T. Cornelius the surgeon-superintendent. The immigrants expressed themselves very grateful for the kindness and attention which they had received from both those gentlemen.
The passengers' deck of the ship was badly lighted, though otherwise well adapted for a limited number.

One third of girls in the developing world are married before the age of 18 and 1 in 9 are married before the age of 15.
In 2012, 70 million women 20-24 around the world had been married before the age of 18.
If present trends continue, 150 million girls will be married before their 18th birthday over the next decade. That's an average of 15 million girls each year.
While countries with the highest prevalence of child marriage are concentrated in Western and Sub-Saharan Africa, due to population size, the largest number of child brides reside in South Asia.
Pregnancy is consistently among the leading causes of death for girls ages 15 to 19 worldwide.
Child brides often face a higher risk of contracting HIV because they often marry an older man with more sexual experience. Girls ages 15 – 19 are 2 to 6 times more likely to contract HIV than boys of the same age in sub-Saharan Africa.
No one religious affiliation is associated with child marriage. Rather, a variety of religions are associated with child marriage in countries throughout the world.
