Talent. When someone's truly got it, you just know. It's impossible not to see it, that vibrant spark sizzling from within. Madison Iseman's got it. No question. With her return to CMT's Still The King (Tuesdays 10/9c) as the long-lost daughter to Vernon Brownmule (played by Billy Ray Cyrus), her role in Sony Pictures' upcoming Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black), and a few other currently undisclosed surprises coming soon, this is looking to be Madison's breakout year.
"I'm so in love with this business," the actress expressed. "I love the way a camera captures a person and the tone. I feel like I connect with the directors and producers on that level because, for me, it's about the whole project. I'm obsessed and hard-working, almost to the point where I feel like a crazy person. In no way am I where I want to be yet. I still have such a long way to go, there's so much more that I want to learn."
Phenomenally talented, dazzling on screen and off, determined, and dedicated, yet still refreshingly humble and sweet, Iseman is one of a kind.
"I'm from the south, South Carolina, and that's always been number one in work and life and relationships: stay humble, stay kind," she told Entertaining Options. "I've been around some people and I've seen things go down and I never want to be that way! If I ever do, please pull up this interview, tap me on the shoulder, and say, 'Hey, remember when you said this?' I never want to become that because that's not how my mother raised me."
Fun Fact: Madison was born in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Valentine's Day.
When asked how a young southern girl gets to LA, Madison joked, "Well, it's not easy. It's very far away and there are no direct flights from South Carolina to LA."

"When I was 14, I took a trip up to New York with my mom and got my feet wet a little bit," she continued. "But I was super scared by the city and wanted to go back to my high school really bad! So I left New York, really fast."
Madeline always had an interest in film and television. However, unlike most young girls, her fascination extended beyond being on camera. More than anything, Iseman wanted to be an editor.
"When I was young, I used to make silly little short films of all my friends in middle school and elementary school," she recalled. "Then, when I was 16, there was a group in South Carolina that was going to LA to do a showcase and I really wanted to do it. My mom said, 'I'm not going to tell you, "No," but you need to get everything in line and take this on yourself.' So I did everything I needed to do and went out to California with this group of people. And it went really well!"
On the trip, Iseman met an agent and a manager. They told her if she was willing to move out to LA, they would work with her. Madison's mom said she would move out to LA with her for a year and a half to help her get settled, but after that, it was up to her daughter to make it work.
Less than two years later, Madison was offered a role on Billy Ray Cyrus' new series for CMT entitled Still The King.
The press release states that Still The King is about "a scandal-ridden, washed up one-hit wonder Vernon Brownmule (played by Cyrus) who was kicked out of country music and emerges 20 years later as an Elvis impersonator. Charlotte (played by Madison) meets her dad for the first time after he gets arrested and sentenced to return to his hometown as the church handyman." The series is a crazy, fun-filled romp that is packed with outlandish situations, wry humor, and a vibrant cast populated by a bevy of endearingly quirky characters. In short, Still The King is perfect 30-minute television.
"Hannah Montana… that was my generation! My inner Hanna Montana was screaming when I found out about that role with Billy Ray Cyrus!" Madison confessed. "I read for the character maybe four or five times — it was this very slow audition process, but I totally wanted it. It was a project that pulled at my heartstrings. Charlotte is this little adult in this 15-year-old body and she listens to good music… We actually had a lot in common. But it was maybe two weeks before they called us back in for callbacks, so by that point I was thinking, 'Okay, let's move on to the next one.'"
Then Madison's manager called with good news and a bit of bad news. The good news was she booked the show. The bad news? They wanted her to fly out to Nashville that very night.
"We were going to be filming for a little over four months and, at the time, I was newly 18 years old. I had a cat, but no credit. I didn't know what to do. It was really stressful," Madison remembered. "My manager got it pushed back 48 hours and my mom was an angel, she came out to meet me in Nashville and helped me find a place to live."
Fun Fact: The choice of who would play Charlotte had been narrowed down to just two girls: Madison, who looked like Debbie, Charlotte's mother (played by Joey Lauren Adams), and another actress who looked like Vernon, Charlotte's father. "They started researching on the Internet and looking at everything. They found my YouTube channel — which I was actually going to delete a few weeks before — and they saw my covers. They said, 'Yep that's Billy Ray's daughter.' So, my YouTube covers were one of the things that got me the part."
Madison talked about what it was like during those first few days of filming season one. "It was really weird. I had to find the boundaries. I was so young, the youngest person out of everyone — even the actor who played my boyfriend on season one was 29 — and I didn't think they'd want to hang out with me. But all that anxiety quickly went away. We all went to an art crawl together that first weekend. We also went to Billy's ranch to play with his horses. It was so much fun. It was the coolest experience of my life and honestly, everyone I've met through that show has completely change my life. They are just the greatest people."
Entertaining Options wondered, "How much can you say about season two?"
"I can't say much," Madison apologized. "Debbie is pregnant, I can say that because we found that out in the last episode of season one. But we don't know who the daddy is and Charlotte is kind of having a hard time dealing with that. Last season, Charlotte was the adult of everyone, but in this season, she gets to have a little more fun."
Another project that Madison has to remain rather tight-lipped about is Sony Pictures' Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which is currently slated for a December 22, 2017 theatrical release.
"That still hasn't hit me yet," she admitted. "It was the quickest audition and shoot in my life. I don't know when the freak-out will hit me, probably the day I'm actually sitting there in the theater watching it on the big screen, but that was just everything I've ever dreamed of doing. I mean, a table read sitting between Kevin Hart and Jack Black?! The little 12-year-old inside of me actually had a heart attack!"
"This whole year has been so crazy," she continued. "It's flown by so fast. I don't even know what day it is. I feel very blessed and I am very grateful. I have no idea how this all happened. Some nights, I'll be in my bed and be really confused that I'm still in Los Angeles and not in college somewhere in South Carolina with all my other friends I grew up with."
Beyond her incredible talent and her humble nature, another reason why Madison books gigs with A-list celebrities is likely because she doesn't ever let those butterflies in her stomach interfere with her work. "You can't not keep it together. When it comes time to work, I take it very seriously… maybe too seriously. I remember being a little girl and watching movies and TV and I would just be in tears because it takes you out of your own world for 30 minutes or an hour or an hour and a half. That's always been what I've wanted to do for other people."

During season one, Still The King averaged 3 million weekly viewers. This new season kicks-off with Vernon fresh out of jail and determined to balance his thirst for fame with his need to be there for his family. In closing, Entertaining Options asked, "What is it about this outrageous world of Still The King that is connecting with so many people?"
"You know, I think more families deal with this crazy crap than you would imagine. Still The King takes a real life situation and makes it entertaining. If you need a 30-minute break from the day to just sit back and watch some funny southern humor and have a laugh about what people go through, then this is the show for you."
The new season of CMT's Still The King kicks off on Tuesday, July 11 with back-to-back episodes beginning at 10/9c.

Notes: Even just the test skein for this colorway makes me wish it were a permanent color – the actual one came out even better – and not exclusive to club. Especially since I couldn't even fit myself in that round of club, and didn't get one of the final skeins! I has a sad.
It was lovely… thank you.

Q: Ordering a list based on a property of a child list I have a list of two 'Vacancies' in the example below and would like to order the list by 'DocumentTitle'. It's sufficient to order the document title in each vacancy then order the list by the first DocumentTitle of each vacancy. I tried many perforations of VacancyList.OrderBy(x => x.Documents.OrderBy(y => y.DocumentTitle))).ToList() to no avail
    namespace ConsoleApp1
            {
                class Program

                    }
                }
            }

A: How about this : https://dotnetfiddle.net/SzuuiF
vacancy.ForEach(x => x.Documents = x.Documents.OrderBy(y=> y.DocumentTitle).ToList());
var ordered = vacancy.OrderBy(x=> x.Documents.FirstOrDefault()?.DocumentTitle);

Q: Remove CarouselView WhiteSpace I'm trying to implement a CarouselView to display a set of images on my app. Apparently, I can't remove the Whitespace at the Bottom of the CarouselView no matter what combinations I tried.
I've placed BackgroundColor property for CarouselView [Red], Grid[Green] (inside DataTemplate), and IndicatorView [Blue] to see which of them is consuming the rest of the screen despite the lack of StackLayout and it seems that either CarouselView or Grid is causing the unwanted behaviour.
Here's my XAML Code with roughly nothing on the ViewModel but a Mock Database for the Image Collection:
<ContentPage.Content>
    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*"
          RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,1*">
        <Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="CarouselView Test"
               TextColor="Black"
               FontAttributes="Bold"
               FontSize="20"
               VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
               HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
               Padding="10" />

        <CarouselView Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" BackgroundColor="Red" HeightRequest="{Binding ScreenWidth}"
                      x:Name="TheCarousel"
                      ItemsSource="{Binding ImageSourceCollection}"
                      IndicatorView="indicatorView">
            <CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid RowDefinitions="Auto" ColumnDefinitions="Auto" BackgroundColor="Green" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center">
                        <Image Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding .}" />
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
        </CarouselView>

        <IndicatorView Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" BackgroundColor="Blue"
                       x:Name="indicatorView"
                       IndicatorColor="LightGray"
                       IndicatorSize="10"
                       SelectedIndicatorColor="Black" />
    </Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>

And here's a screenshot of my current build with the CarouselView/Grid consuming most of the Screen Space:

A: CarouselView has some weird behaviors on size calculating,in your scenario the only way is get the height it(template) needs in code(viewmodel), and bind it to the HeightRequest on CarouselView .
Xaml
 <CarouselView HeightRequest="{Binding xxx}"

View model
public double xxx {
   get
   {
      // calculate the height according to the width by ratio
      return height;
   }
}

A: I think you need to set Space between rows and columns to Zero if you want to make your indicatorView stick to your CarouselView

A: So what actually worked for me.
I set Grid Row Definition to ex.(300) and then Carousel Height Request to 350.
I'm setting Image Width based on Screen Width, but I tried it Manually ex (400) and still worked, don't get confused.
<Grid RowDefinitions="300">
    <CarouselView x:Name="carouselView"
                  Grid.Row="0"
                  ItemsSource="{Binding HomeCarousel}">
        <CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackLayout>
                    <Frame HasShadow="False"
                           CornerRadius="0"
                           Margin="0"
                           HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                           VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                           HeightRequest="350">
                        <SwipeView>
                            <Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}"
                                   Aspect="AspectFill"
                                   WidthRequest="{DynamicResource FullScreenWidth}"
                                   HorizontalOptions="Center" />
                        </SwipeView>
                    </Frame>
                </StackLayout>
            </DataTemplate>
        </CarouselView.ItemTemplate>
    </CarouselView>
</Grid>

Farmyard Fun, Zoophilia	Leave a comment
The Hobbler 6: Belmont Park
By Sheela B.
On the second day of the Fair Valley Equestrian Event, the cross-country is into its medal round. Cross-country equestrian jumping is an endurance test that forms one of the three phases of the sport of eventing. The object of the endurance test is to prove the speed, endurance and jumping ability of the true cross-country horse when it's well-trained and in the peak of condition. Simultaneously, it demonstrates the rider's knowledge of pace and the use of this horse across the various obstacles and jumps. To the average spectator, this is the most exciting part of eventing. The Ponderosa has only five riders left in the medal round, Lucy and Chas, and three up and coming riders who have what it takes to compete on the world stage.
Sarah is up early, as horse people usually are, to put these horses through some light warm-up exercise and jumping so when their turn comes to compete they'll be ready to give their all. This kind of work is enjoyable for Sarah as it's similar to what she would've done for a horse on race day when she worked in the racing industry. Once this early morning track work is over, her role is merely a supporter and encourager, as the riders take care of the horses after that. The bond between rider and horse is paramount in eventing, whereas a jockey only rides their mounts sporadically before race day. In racing, it's really about the trainer/horse relationship. In eventing, the rider/horse relationship matters the most, and everyone else is supporting crew.
Lucy is the last to leave the track they're using for warm-up and heads back to the stables to give Rambo a wash and groom the horse ready for its big run.
"Good job," Sarah calls out as Lucy rides by. "He'll be hard to beat out there today."
Lucy smiles down at Sarah from the top of Rambo. "Let's hope so," she said. "His condition is the best I've ever seen, you're a marvel. If we win today part of that medal is yours."
"He's a great horse, I'll see you later on," Sarah said with a wave as Lucy and Rambo trot toward the stables.
Feeling her stomach rumble, Sarah glances at her watch to see it's getting close to eight am, and decides to go have some breakfast. There are some food trucks between the stables and The Trailer Park with tables and chairs. As she gets near, the smell of bacon only makes her stomach rumble some more. After buying a 'bacon and egg' roll and a cup of coffee, she sits to enjoy the food when a familiar female voice speaks to her.
"Mind if I join you?"
It's Jillian, with similar food in hand.
"Sure, how are you today?" Sarah asks with a smile.
"Great, we got two riders through to the finals of the cross-country," Jillian said with a smile. "We're delighted."
"Yeah, I saw them ride yesterday, Helen and Keith, right?" Jillian nods. "They show a lot of promise, and those horses are mint. That gray, um, 'Jack's Back' is a fine stallion, the kind of horse we're always looking for at The Ponderosa."
Jillian laughs. "I don't think Helen would sell him, she loves that horse—if you know what I mean." The mischievous twinkle in Jillian's eye tells Sarah exactly what she means. Helen is a horse fucker too. "Besides, no one will beat Lucy and Rambo today," Jillian said. "But just getting to the finals is a great achievement for the academy."
"Where's Ronnie this morning?"
"He's out helping the organizers finish the final preparations for the course. That man can never sit still, that's why I married him."
"I do want to talk to you about something, err…" a sudden surge of adrenaline makes her heart race and breathing heavy. "Something…"
"Is it about what you did at the Preakness Stakes?" Jillian asks matter of fact. Sarah gasps, her hand flies to her mouth and eyes bulge. "Don't so be shocked, we have bugs in our cottages. I'm just mad you didn't tell us to bet on 'Cloud Computing.' Still, we ended up breaking even with Classic Empire running second."
"You have bugs?"
"Oh, we don't listen to them all the time, but when Carl Norris dropped by for a visit, well, our curiosity peaked," Jillian said. "I mean why Norris would make a visit to a young woman who practically gave him the bird as she left his ranch is dubious, to say the least." Sarah shakes her head, her mouth agape. "C'mon, Sarah, you don't think the gossip gets around. The horse world isn't that big. Everyone knows you hate Carl Norris."
Sarah's face is bright red. This is not how she expected things to go. The teen thought Jillian would blow a gasket when she told the MILF about the hobbling. Instead, Jillian's sitting there chewing her food as if this is just an average morning conversation.
"So why didn't you say anything when we went, err, riding together?" Sarah asks, feeling her stomach roil.
"It's not my place to interfere…" Jillian said, and takes a sip of her coffee.
"You could've gone to the police."
Jillian shrugs. "How do you actually prove a horse has been interfered with in that way," she said. "Unless they catch you in the act, but apart from that, it's a brilliant idea."
"I don't believe you're saying this," Sarah said feeling her body relax.
"There was some talk about you at Bob Simpson's ranch, was that true?"
"Are you wearing a wire?" Sarah asks and laughs nervously.
"You know how we make a bit on the side at the academy, Sarah, so we have just as much to lose as you." Jillian takes Sarah's hand in her own and squeezes. "The academy is struggling to make ends meet though, and we need some cash to keep the doors open. We're not The Ponderosa, that's for sure."
"Ronnie is OK with this?" Sarah asks with narrow eyes.
"He's been begging me to approach you about it ever since we found out," Jillian said with a laugh. "He'll be so happy to hear you brought it up. Now tell me how I can help."
Sarah explains to Jillian she's seeking to get together a group of women who can hobble horses across the country. The payoff is the chance to bet on the fix, which still may lose but most of the time won't. As no direct payments are involved, there's no evidence of collusion between anyone. Outside help will get the hobbler into the stables the night before the race and out in the morning. The hobbler, at her expense, should cover motel expenses and bookings. Again, this will show no collusion between the parties involved for the police to track.
"What if someone comes along while you're doing it?" Jillian asks.
"Hide in the manure chute, it's not glamorous, but it works," Sarah said. "No one wants to look in there."
"Ew, I bet," Jillian said screwing up her nose. "But enduring some shit is a small price to pay, I suppose."
"Let me be clear about one thing," Sarah said taking Jillian's hand. "What happens in that stall can't just be a fast handjob or blowjob. The woman needs to fuck the juice out of the horse's legs, she'll have to make it cum five or six times, and use every hole in her body."
"Sounds like fun," Jillian said with a shiver.
"My motto is, 'If I can barely walk after taking that huge cock repeatedly, then the horse is hobbled.'"
"So you need some hardcore girls, I think I know a few who'll be into this, I know I am," Jillian said with a smile.
"I'll have to test them to see if they have what it takes," Sarah said. "Are you up for it?"
Jillian nods.
"Good, let's set up a 'WhatsApp' group, that way we can talk securely as it's encrypted," Sarah said. "We can't email, text, or call about this on the phone or internet, the Feds watch everything. When you get a few names together, let me know. I'll let my contacts know we're on."
"Go on, we'll show Sarah what you're made of," Jillian whispers to the eighteen-year-old rider with long auburn hair and green eyes.
The athletic young woman with b-cup breasts and barely an ounce of fat on her lithe body slips into the stable as Jillian keeps watch. Without hesitating, she takes off clothes to reveal a shaven pussy, already glistening with anticipation, and her pert breast with erect nipples. The horse snorts, as the scent of the teen's arousal, gets its attention.
"It's OK, Rambo, I'm here to make you feel good," the teen whispers as she rubs her hands on the neck of the stallion. "I'm Helen, and I'm gonna make you cum so hard, you'll never forget me."
Jillian was initially against the idea when her rider Helen suggested they hobble Rambo; she thought Sarah might take it as an insult. However, the audacity to hobble a horse right under the Ponderosa's top trainer's nose was something the MILF couldn't resist. Even though Helen is riding later today, the young woman was still keen to audition for the hobbling job.
What a beautiful cock, Helen thought. There's no doubt about it. She moves closer to Rambo. The stallion just stands there looking off in another direction. The teen strokes his flanks; thinking all the while about the massive cock in front of her and all she has to do is reach and grab it. The aroused teen falls to her knees and takes the cock in hand and just holds onto it for a moment. All I have to do is put it in my mouth, she thought nervously. Rambo seems to know what I'm doing. He certainly got hard fast enough.
Helen thinks about Sarah and about how really perverted she must be to do this for money. However, she's ready to suck off Rambo, so she's just as wicked in her own mind, and maybe even more so. Helen strokes the horse cock gently, running her hands over the full length of it and over his balls as well. After having seen so many horses with boners in her life, Helen can't believe she's so amazed at the size of this one. Now she's holding it, stroking it, and soon she'll be sucking it.
Helen knows now she'll be going all the way. There's no stopping her now. If Sarah can do it, so can I, she thought, licking her lips. Her only regret is Sarah wasn't here to watch her, as she wants very much to share this perverse passion with her. Maybe then Sarah will train me for the Olympics, Helen thought dreamily. Perhaps she'll fuck me too.
She gets her face closer to Rambo's cock, and then she kisses the head of it. The horse moves a little, yet not much. He's standing perfectly still for the most part. She kisses the head of his cock again, and she thinks he makes some kind of sound. Helen starts kissing the horse cock in earnest and the entire length of it too. It's so rough and so soft simultaneously. She presses her wet lips into it as hard as she can, and shivers run through her body every time she does. The aroused teen can feel her body shaking inside, and she can feel her cunt getting wet.
Now the teens beneath Rambo, half lying/half sitting, and she points the cock at her mouth, then rubs her face against the tip of it. Helen rubs it across her forehead, her cheeks, beneath her nose, her closed lips, and chin. The cock seems to be throbbing in her hands, and she finally takes it into her mouth and sucks on it; taking in just so much of the enormous cockhead and closes her mouth around it just as tight as she can. The girl works her tongue against Rambo's cockhead, stabbing into it just as hard and as fast as she can.
Helen slides her mouth back and forth on the hard skin, and she can feel its heat. This makes her hot and makes her take more of the cock into her mouth until she can't get any more of it in. The mushroom-shaped cock head fills her mouth so much the girl thinks she's going to gag on it. This cock makes her body quiver inside, and she can feel herself on the verge of orgasm even though she hasn't touched herself yet.
She can feel Rambo is on the verge of orgasm too, and she works her mouth back and forth on the horse's cock just as fast and just as hard as she can manage. She'll show this horse something. Show Sarah too. Helen can see Sarah in the back of her mind as she sucks harder on this hot cock filling her mouth. Please, cum now, she thought, pressing her lips into Rambo's massive meat and gumming the rubbery flesh while slowly bobbing her head back and forth. Please cum soon, Helen thought, pushing her lips into Rambo's cock just as hard as she possibly can. The cockhead is throbbing away, and the teen can feel it getting ready to burst wide open. Rambo is moving somewhat, and she can tell it's just as excited as she is. The cock suddenly jerks in her mouth, and horse semen gushes, running all over her body. The semen washes down her throat, and Helen can feel it spilling out of her mouth.
The girl's mouth is on fire, and so is the rest of her body. The horse semen continues to gush out of the jerking cock, and she has a hard time keeping it in her mouth. Somehow, Helen does manage to keep Rambo's cock in her mouth, and all the time his semen is shooting out of him, she continues to suck just as hard as she can on his cock. Helen feels sperm running down her neck and over her tits, and she can feel it running on her thighs even. There seems to be no end to it, and she's glad. Helen never wants it to stop. If only Sarah were here, she thought to herself. That would've made everything perfect. As it is, she knows this has to be the most exciting moment of her life, and the most dangerous.
Lucy, Sarah, or anyone could come along at any moment. It's nearly time to take Rambo to the starting area, he's already groomed and saddled, and is waiting for his time to come. Helen has to be quick. Rambo's cock is still hard and in her mouth. The semen's just dribbling out now, and eventually, it stops. She lies back on the ground and glances at the underside of Rambo. The stallion has been standing still all this time, and it acts as if nothing has happened, indifferent to everything. It doesn't matter what the horse feels, though, because Helen knows what she feels. How good it had made her feel to take that load
"If you can barely walk after taking that huge cock repeatedly, then the horse is hobbled," Jillian had said.
They were Sarah's words, and they made the young woman's pussy tingle with need.
"So to hobble a horse, it needs to hobble you?" Helen said wide-eyed.
"Yes, that's right, Hel," Jillian said. "Can you do it?"
"I know I can."
Helen feels the sticky cum over her body, and wipes it with her fingers, then she licks them. Her mouth is overflowing still, and the girl swallows hard. She can feel the last of Rambo's cum going down her throat and settling in her stomach. Rambo's cock has gotten soft now. Helen lifts her foot and presses it into his balls. The stallion's balls are soft and hard simultaneously. The teen pushes in gently and then moves her foot away. Then she touches her foot against him, and eventually, she can see him getting hard again.
Rambo's cock seems to go through all kinds of contractions as it rises into an erection. Helen observes it, not wanting to miss any of it. This is too good to miss. Soon it's hard, and she thinks about how good it'll feel inside her cunt. The girl's clit is throbbing now, and the juices are running out of her as the teen lies there thinking about having this cock inside her cunt. Helen can just imagine what'll happen to her once it's inside her. Her juices will really flow then. They might never stop flowing.
The teen raises her hips, so she's now pressing her stomach against the huge cock and positions herself, so it hangs between her legs, then she pushes her cunt lips into it. She grabs for the stirrups and pulls herself, so she's pushing against the underside of Rambo. The teen woman can feel the head of the stallion's cock at the entrance of her cunt. For a second, she's afraid it might hurt, then she realizes she doesn't care whether it hurts or not. Helen presses into the horse cock and feels it ease into her cunt. The horse seems to be also moving and is thrusting its cock into her the way a man would.
Helen feels more of Rambo's cock going into her cunt and rotates her hips in a circular motion, humping back and forth on the equine phallus. It's sliding in and out of her now, and every time it goes back in, Helen can feel herself shaking more. The horse's cock is filling her right to the brim, and she's trying to get as much inside her as she can. Helen wants it all, yet the girl knows it's impossible. It'd kill me, she thought. It'd split me wide open. However, somehow, it doesn't matter to her at this time.
If I'm gonna die, I might as well die getting fucked by a horse, she thought lewdly. Helen feels more and more of Rambo's horse cock going into her and really closes her cunt muscles around it. The shaking teen feels the giant cock stretching her inside and the shaft is starting to throb already. Having him cum in her mouth is one thing, yet now to have him ejaculate inside her cunt will take more juice out of the horse's legs. Helen can feel it already, and she grinds into the horse cock as hard as she can.
The girl can feel an orgasm exploding and her cunt filling with juices. Helen has never had an orgasm like this, and it shakes her so much she almost loses grip on the stirrups. The teen goes wild and just fucks back until she can feel the throbbing cock shooting off into her and filling her with hot horse cream.
She moans and keeps grinding her pussy into the cock. The horse is grinding into her simultaneously, and it isn't acting as indifferent as it had previously. Rambo seems to be as aroused as Helen is, and it just makes her feel so much better inside. The last of Rambo's cum drained into her cunt, and with a final gasp, she let go of the stirrups and falls to the ground. The sated teen feels a limp as a rag doll. She lies there breathing hard, gasping for the last breath of air.
Helen's eyes shut tight, yet she can still see the massive cock in front of her, and she can still feel it deep inside her. Rambo's cock has gone so far into her she thinks if she coughs; it'll pop out of her throat. She really thinks it's going split her in two. She rubs her sore pussy. For a while, she doesn't think the pain will ever go away, and she isn't sure she wants it to.
She rolls out from beneath Rambo and tries to get to her feet. The warm feeling still overwhelms the girl. It's as if the horse cock is still shooting off inside her cunt. She can feel the spasms going through her body still, getting warmer and warmer. Again, she tries to get to her feet, yet she can't move. All her strengths drained for the moment, and have to lie still until it comes back to her.
"Get up," Jillian suddenly yells into the stable. "I see their stable hand, Ryan, coming this way."
Helen forces herself to her feet, and with wobbly legs and shaky hands, she puts her tracksuit back on quickly and stumbles out of the stable before anyone notices. Ryan has stopped and is talking to a woman he apparently seems keen on.
"Let's get outta here," Jillian said grabbing the teen and guiding her away.

Hillary Clinton wasted no time in attacking the entire pro-life movement after Donald Trump made a comment that he later revoked about punishing women who have abortions.
In an interview Wednesday with MSNBC, which is no friend to pro-lifers, host Chris Matthews asked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump if he thought women should be punished for having abortions if abortion becomes illegal again. Trump responded that "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who get abortions.
After facing a harsh backlash from pro-life and pro-abortion groups alike, Trump took back his original statement and said he believes abortion doctors should be punished, not women.
However, in an interview with CNN, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton used Trump's original statement to intentionally misrepresent the entire pro-life movement.
"The Republicans all line up together," Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"Why is it, I ask myself, Republicans want limited government, except when it comes to women's health?" she said.
Many Trump's critics have sought to paint him as hostile to women, and Clinton said she largely agreed with that assessment.
The unfortunate reality is that the mainstream media allows extreme pro-abortion candidates like Clinton to get away with supporting abortion for basically any reason, even on viable, late-term babies, but badgers pro-life candidates with constant gotcha questions.
In the CNN interview, Cooper never questioned Clinton's statements about the pro-life movement by referencing polls or major pro-life groups' positions on the issue. Instead, he allowed Clinton time to blast Trump and the pro-life movement as extremists, all the while never questioning Clinton on her own extreme pro-abortion position.
Clinton has radical stance on abortion that is out of touch with most Americans. If elected, she has promised to overturn the Hyde Amendment, forcing Americans to fund abortions with tax dollars; and she openly opposes restrictions on late-term abortions when babies are viable outside the womb. Most Americans don't stand with Clinton on these issues.

It's a Tough Job Market. Match Your Fear With Grit and Determination, Says Hatch Founder
May 29, 2020 • Getting Hired
When the Vietnam War finally ended, Thomson Nguyen's father came to America in the classic search for a better life. After seven long and arduous years waiting for visas, scraping together as much as he could, his wife and young daughter were able to join him; the Hatch founder would be born just a couple years later in California.
"It was incredibly scary and daunting for them," Nguyen said. "No friends here, no family, no idea how to find work. But what choice do you have? Something can be scary but we still have to figure out a way to get it done. There's no other choice."
He sees parallels between his parents' story, which ultimately included starting their own business, and the small and medium businesses his fintech start-up now serves. The Hatch team gives company owners a boost in the form of a credit line up to $5k, without requiring rock-solid credit scores or previous business history. "Right now, it's uncertain and unsettling, but we will continue to see SMBs rise to the occasion," Nguyen said. "There's so much grit to build a better life for themselves."
He sees those same qualities as necessary for job hunters in this turbulent economy. "There are a lot of engineers and tech folks who are unexpectedly on the job market," said Nguyen. "If you're job hunting, you will have to match your fear with determination. And remember that recovery might be slow but it is certain."
Focus on Mutual Fit
He recommends being purposeful about fit, if possible, because it helps drive both performance and overall contentment with a job. "I really do understand the need to make rent and buy food," noted Nguyen. "Sometimes you do just have to take any job. But if you can, spend the time to look at the mission and the purpose. See if the product resonates with you."
At Hatch, he says, this is the way they run technical interviews. "We strongly emphasize that this has to be a mutual fit," said Nguyen. "That approach inspires more organic conversations. I'm interested in learning what technical leaders want to try out, how they look at the time/space complexity tradeoffs, the edge cases they see, how they collaborate."
Nguyen also notes that technical recruiting is most analogous to a lock-and-key fit. In other words, it just clicks. "It's so important to remember that if you don't get a technical job, it might not be because you're not good at what you do," he observed. "It's really about where we are and what we happen to need in this moment. A junior engineer, for instance, competing for a slightly more senior role might be well served by going to Facebook (or another large company that can provide structured mentorship) first and getting some grounding there."
Modify Recruiting to Fit the New World
Hatch's recruitment process has adapted well to the constraints of the pandemic. "Communication has always been important, and that's even more poignant and apparent now that our interactions are taking place on a screen," said Nguyen.
The team is overcommunicating with their candidates, covering who the interviews will be with, what they'll consist of, etc., to ensure they feel as comfortable and prepared as possible ahead of time. "We still need to do everything we'd normally do in a live, in-person interview," said Nguyen. "All the human rules of interaction still matter, like building in bio breaks. We've even migrated the lunch we'd normally do onsite to a thirty-minute tea to buffer the intense coding exercises."
Update Your Benefits for Today
He's confident that Hatch can continue to lure some of tech's best and brightest. "We're still offering our platinum-level healthcare and 401K matching, just as we did before COVID," he said. "We've changed our monthly transportation stipend so that employees can now use it for things that make their work-from-home setup nicer and more productive."
Nguyen also noted that the team's able to structure their own schedules, which makes good communication via asynchronous channels like Slack and email more important. "Some employees have focused time between 8 and 5, others are 11 to 8, and others are in Europe," he said. "We find we're using email more as a way to be in sync with each other without requiring everyone to be on a video call."
Hatch has also been intentional about other ways of connection and wellness. "We've aggregated a list of insurance-covered therapists and mental health providers that work via telehealth," he said. "And we're talking to some companies that provide wellness support as well. More broadly, we're leaning into virtual gatherings like 6 pm workouts of the day and happy hours where we play board games."
"It was always organic for our team to reach out and rely on each other," said Nguyen. "But I'm really happy that it continues to be core to our DNA."
Most recently, the team launched a new SMB series focused on learning about different small businesses. Notable events included "visiting" a goat farm, checking in with a coffee roastery to learn about the four waves of coffee, connecting with a flower shop to learn the fundamentals of floral arranging, and discussing the art of drag with a drag queen.

Konkurransetilsynet > News > The Nordic Competition Authorities support a strict merger control regime
The Nordic Competition Authorities support a strict merger control regime
This article is written by the five Director Generals in the Nordic countries: Jakob Hald, Denmark, Kirsi Leivo, Finland, Rikard Jermsten, Sweden, Páll Gunnar Pálsson, Iceland and Lars Sørgard, Norway.
France and Germany have jointly proposed that EU merger control rules should be relaxed in favour of mergers among large European companies to allow the creation of so-called "European Champions". The triggering event behind the political initiative was the decision by the European Commission to block the merger between Siemens (German corporation) and Alstom (French corporation).
The Franco-German proposal has drawn a great deal of critique from competition authorities, academics and practitioners. At the recent Competitiveness Council meeting, ministers from the Nordic countries also spoke against the proposal.
The European merger control regime is based on hard-won principles of consumer welfare, transparency and legal certainty. It provides European consumers with lower prices and better products. The proposed amendments would – on the contrary – subject merger control to the uncertainties of political decision-making. In departing from the above-mentioned principles, the proposal could damage the credibility of competition enforcement in Europe and undermine the cornerstones of a well-functioning single market where companies of all sizes can develop and thrive.
Relaxing merger control in line with the proposal would come at the cost of weakened competition within the European as well as the domestic markets. Under the current system, competition on a European and a domestic level spurs each firm to become more efficient and to develop better products. Those that succeed best will in the long run also prosper in global markets. Competition, not politics, should identify the winners among European firms. Competition between domestic firms is also crucial for success in the domestic market, which in turn can help the best qualified domestic firms to succeed in global markets.
The proposal to change European merger control rules would benefit but a few large European companies and be especially detrimental to Member States with smaller domestic markets. This holds true also for the Nordic countries, where many markets are already concentrated.
One of the main arguments of the supporters of the political initiative to weaken European merger control is that the present regime is excessively intrusive. This is clearly not true. An overwhelming majority of mergers is cleared very swiftly. Even in cases where competition authorities do intervene, most of the mergers are approved subject to conditions that address the competition concerns. Merger rules do not stand in the way of creating European Champions through mergers. Such mergers will be allowed if they also give rise to synergies – including economies of scale and scope – that will offset the negative impact of increased concentration on consumer welfare. Alternatively, the parties may introduce corrective measures that remove the competition concerns and allow the merger to be cleared conditionally.
As stated in an open letter by more than 40 European industrial economists, "Europe needs more efficient, competitive, and innovative firms. Sponsoring mergers which remove competition would achieve the opposite". The Nordic competition authorities fully support strong and politically independent merger supervision at the EU level, as well as at the national level. The merger control system should be seen as a stimulus, not an impediment, to a successful industrial policy.

Your comment about the Innovation/R&D phase that it's hard to predict has definitely proven true in my experience. The irony is that while dates early on are unreliable, continuing to create and reach for deadlines seems absolutely necessary from a motivational/productivity standpoint.
One approach to the issue you bring up that's worked for us is to set an initial due date that's overly aggressive, and expect that we'll probably blow through it (while suspending disbelief as much as possible). This may seem bizarre to deliberately not meet a goal, but our rate of progress accelerates drastically as we get closer to the deadline. We try to take advantage of that phenomenon twice if possible. We also try to communicate the initial due date with as few people outside our company (investors, customers, etc) as possible to avoid losing credibility.

Pulse Electronics Power BU has designed the new Product Finder tool to allow you to enter your specific product requirements based on the product family and quickly locate your options, complete with photos and detailed product descriptions. These data filters will simplify the task of locating products, ensuring that you will spend less time searching as it offers you easy access to product details and support options.
Choose the product family that applies to the product you need, and the Product Finder will automatically present the data fields that you can edit to narrow your search further based on the ranges and specs for which you would like to search.
The Product Table will update instantly with the parts that apply to the data entered, populating in neat, organized columns, which you can further edit by eliminating data columns that are not a priority for your specific search.
To provide the full picture of the value that the data parameter search capability brings to your search experience, we'll discuss the fields available for each product family search.
You will find the minimum and maximum value option on a number of fields within each product family search parameters.
The specific value range inputs will instantly narrow the list of parts shown in the table; you can update the minimum and maximum values to again instantly update the Product Table without having to leave the results page, saving you time and allowing more search flexibility.
The Product Table will offer you only the options that meet the data ranges you enter for these requisites, but what if you want to do a closer look to compare the parts?
Within all the product family searches you can use the Compare feature. This feature allows you to check multiple parts in your search results directly in the table, and an overlay will provide a side-by-side column layout comparison of those parts you checked in the table--so you'll know quickly which product meets the precise needs for your project.

You can perform the same Quote, Sample, and Support requests that are available on the Product Table, as well as do a stock check.


Lutz Bachmann and his Pegida movement had motivated thousands to hit the streets of Dresden to register their discontent with immigration to Germany.
In the last few months, an ugly kind of right-wing politics has returned to Germany. A movement known as Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, has brought thousands into the streets of Dresden and other cities for rallies to denounce the country's growing immigrant population. But on Wednesday, Jan. 21, the young group, which was only founded in October, experienced its first major setback. Its leader, Lutz Bachmann, resigned after photos of him posing as Hitler were unearthed by the German press.
Despite leading rallies railing against the influx of immigrants to Germany, Pegida and its hangers-on have insisted that they are not a racist movement. The movement, which has shot to fame for organizing huge protests, has controversially adopted a communist-era slogan, "Wir sind das Volk!" ("We are the people!"), as its own. That slogan was used by protesters in marches prior to the fall of the German communist regime in 1989. Its appropriation by Pegida has been widely criticized in Germany, including by Chancellor Angela Merkel, who grew up in the East and participated in those marches.
Pegida has emerged as a motley collection of right-wing strains in German politics. According to Der Spiegel, it includes individuals associated with right-wing biker gangs and draws from, among other groups, soccer hooligans, including the famously right-wing fans of Dynamo Dresden.
But Pegida is also a recent addition to the constellation of xenophobic right-wingers on the European scene. It was founded by Bachmann last October after he witnessed a group of protesters in Dresden mobilizing in support of the PKK, the Kurdish guerrilla organization whose fighters are linked to militants on the front lines against the Islamic State in northern Iraq and Syria.
"We want to gather to oppose the advancing Islamization of our country. We don't want terrorist, Islamist powers to fight their religious war on our streets. We are against IS, PKK, al Qaeda, and all the others," one Pegida member wrote on the group's Facebook page in October, according to Spiegel.
It is perhaps a measure of the confusion and the competing strains of thought present in the European right wing that the PKK, a secular group that otherwise has been designated a terrorist organization by several Western governments, would be thrown in with the Islamic State and al Qaeda — groups which the socialist Kurdish organization is actively fighting against in Syria.
Nonetheless, Pegida, like similar movements across Europe, has gained a vibrant, energetic following. It has articulated a vague argument about how European values and European people — all code for ethnic whites — are being overrun by Muslim immigrants.
In Germany and elsewhere, these movements have only gained energy in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris on the office of Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery store. These attacks, carried out by professed Muslims in the name of radical Islamist groups, play into a narrative that the West is under siege by a Muslim fifth column that seeks to infiltrate and eventually undo the gains of liberal European society.
In response, European politicians have dutifully tried to marginalize such voices. In France, for example, Marine Le Pen's National Front was excluded from the unity rally that followed the Paris attacks. In Germany, groups such as Pegida are under investigation by prosecutors for acts of hate speech. Indeed, representatives of Pegida say Bachmann didn't step down because of the Hitler photo but because of those legal troubles.
If history and the experience elsewhere in Europe are any guide, the Hitler photos won't be the end of Pegida. In Sweden, for example, the right-wing Sweden Democrats have well-documented ties to the country's neo-Nazi movement, and its leaders have been implicated in scandals similar to the Bachmann affair. Nonetheless, the party is Sweden's third largest.

AI n. 1973 G. Dozois Chains of the Sea in R. Silverberg Chains of the Sea 83 While the humans scurried in confusion, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) created by MIT/Bell Labs linked itself into the network of high-speed, twentieth generation computers placed at its disposal.
alternate universe n. 1990 G. Dozois Playing the Game in Slow Dancing Through Time Afterword 159 This started off as a story by Jack called 'The Alpha Tree', about a boy who could see into alternate universes… I skewed Jack's idea somewhat, building the story instead around a concept that had long fascinated me—an intuition of how easy it would be to become lost among the billions of probability-worlds that are born and die around us every second of every day.
artificial intelligence n. 1973 G. Dozois Chains of the Sea in R. Silverberg Chains of the Sea 83 While the humans scurried in confusion, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) created by MIT/Bell Labs linked itself into the network of high-speed, twentieth generation computers placed at its disposal.
Campbellian adj. 2001 G. Dozois in M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 76 There was a sort of vague polemical point in the back of my mind here, to show that a significant impact can be made upon a society by someone even if they are not particularly competent and Heinleinian and Campbellian. A non-super-man. I suppose you could contrast this with my first story, 'The Empty Man,' where the character is a Campbellian superhero.
counterfactual n. 2006 G. Dozois Counterfactual in Year's Best SF 12 (2007) 92 Counterfactuals had become increasingly popular in recent years—perhaps because the public had been denied the opportunity to play soldier during the Great War—until they were now almost respectable as pulp stories went, and you could make decent money selling them. But in writing Counterfactuals, you had to provide some kind of tipping-point, some event that would have changed everything that came after—and it had to be at least superficially plausible, or the fans, armchair historians all, would tear you to pieces.
cyberpunk n. 1 1984 G. Dozois Science Fiction in the Eighties in Washington Post Book World 30 Dec. 9/3 Surely the wild and woolly 'outlaw fantasy' Waldrop began producing in the '70s played some part in shaping the esthetics and literary style of the 'cyberpunk' movement.
cyberpunk n. 2 1984 G. Dozois Science Fiction in the Eighties in Washington Post Book World 30 Dec. 9/1 About the closest thing here to a self-willed esthetic 'school' would be the purveyors of bizarre hard-edged, high-tech stuff, who have on occasion been referred to as 'cyberpunks'—Sterling, Gibson, Shiner, Cadigan, Bear.
genre n. 2001 G. Dozois Being Gardner Dozois 236 Yes, it's quite true that the expectations of genre weight it a bit in one way, toward one interpretation, but my steadfast refusal to admit that they're actually real—even at the end, when he's ready to make this momentous decision, he's still not sure whether there actually are time travellers there, or he's just making the whole thing up—makes it as ambiguous as possible, given the fact that it was going to have to appear in a genre magazine if it appeared anywhere at all.
genre fantasy n. 2000 G. Dozois Michael Swanwick: Chameleon Eludes Net in Moon Dogs 14 Although his last few novels seemed to be taking him away from science fiction (and perhaps even away from conventional genre fantasy) toward that vaguely defined territory that might be described as 'American Magical Realism,' or perhaps 'Postmodernism,' I doubt that he will ever entirely abandon the field—at least some of his short fiction remains solidly centered here, and, in fact, falls under the heading of rigorous and ingeniously worked-out 'hard science'…and his new novel, currently underway, features time-travelers and some very hungry dinosaurs, core SF themes…although no doubt, in Swanwick's hands, they are due to have some unexpected changes rung on them!
Heinleinian adj. 2001 G. Dozois in M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 76 There was a sort of vague polemical point in the back of my mind here, to show that a significant impact can be made upon a society by someone even if they are not particularly competent and Heinleinian and Campbellian. A non-super-man. I suppose you could contrast this with my first story, 'The Empty Man,' where the character is a Campbellian superhero.
post-apocalyptic adj. 2001 G. Dozois Interview in G. Dozois & M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 236 Czudak reflects back on the thermonuclear war, which I think reflects a break with seventies science fiction which would have thrown the story into a post-apocalyptic setting.
postholocaust adj. 2001 G. Dozois Interview in G. Dozois & M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 144 Obviously the world had been ruined in some sort of catastrophe, and, in fact, the original idea was that this was going to be an After-The-Bomb story, showing how the man and his son survived in a Post-Holocaust world.
probability world n. 1990 G. Dozois Playing the Game in Slow Dancing Through Time (Afterword) 159 This started off as a story by Jack called 'The Alpha Tree'™, about a boy who could see into alternate universes…. I skewed Jack's idea somewhat, building the story instead around a concept that had long fascinated me—an intuition of how easy it would be to become lost among the billions of probability-worlds that are born and die around us every second of every day.
proto-cyberpunk adj. 2001 G. Dozois Interview in G. Dozois & M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 23 So I worked in clones and people with no digestive tracts whose nourishment was beamed to them by broadcast matter, and various other things like that. Just to get a sense of far-future alienness, of how different these people were from us… I think what I was doing here…was groping towards a sort of proto-cyberpunk aesthetic.
sharecropper n. 1987 G. Dozois in Year's Best Science Fiction Fifth Annual Collection Introd. p. xiv In the case of the 'sharecroppers', I also feel, perhaps naively, that young writers ought to be busy developing their own worlds and working out their own ideas and fresh material, rather than reworking ground already broken by older and more successful writers.
sharecropper n. 1987 G. Dozois in Year's Best Science Fiction Fifth Annual Collection Introd. p. xiv The recent influx of 'sharecropper' novels joins a flood of similar items—choose-your-own-adventure books, 'Robotech' books, Star Trek novels, and so on. It is possible to argue that none of these items are pernicious in themselves, perhaps not even the 'sharecropper' books.
sharecropping n. 1987 G. Dozois in Year's Best Science Fiction Fifth Ann. Coll. Introd. p. xiii Perhaps the most ominous of these was the dramatic upsurge of novels by newer writers set in fictional worlds created by famous SF writers, or novels using thematic material created by established writers. This practice of hiring lesser-known authors to create new adventures set 'in the world of' some famous SF novel (for instance, a novel set in the world of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers, or in the world of Robert Silverberg's Lord Valentine's Castle ) has been referred to as 'share-cropping' and strikes me as a very dangerous trend.
spaceboat n. 2001 G. Dozois Preface in Worldmakers: SF Adventures in Terraforming x And although the dream of life on Mars has hung on even to the present day, in an increasingly more pallid and less hopeful form (now we'd be overjoyed to find lichens... or even fossil microbe evidence that there once had been life there, millions of years ago), it was obvious by the middle of the century that Dejah Thoris wasn't going to be there to greet the boys when they stepped off the spaceboat.
subgenre n. 2001 G. R. Dozois in M. Swanwick & G. R. Dozois Being Gardner Dozois 214 It may look a little better when compared to the overall sub-genre of science fiction cat stories.
subgenre n. 2001 G. R. Dozois in M. Swanwick & G. R. Dozois Being Gardner Dozois 140 I came up with the idea, although of course it's just a variant on the long sub-genre of time-viewer stories.
time viewer n. 2001 G. Dozois in M. Swanwick Being Gardner Dozois 140 I came up with the ida, although of course it's just a variant on the long sub-genre of time-viewer stories.


The Trio Condominium is a low-rise 6-story building featuring 116 studio, one- and two-bedroom units.
Its location makes it convenient to the Seattle Center, the Olympic Sculpture Park and to many restaurants and nightlife activities. However, it is on a busy intersection of Denny Way, Western Avenue and Queen Anne Avenue which may distract buyers. Additionally, because it's a low-rise, some views are blocked by surrounding buildings.
The units are beautifully finished and are good sized in-city homes, but in some ways, for the prices they are askings, it's a hard sell considering location and lack of views, especially when being just blocks from the waterfront.
View available Trio condos for sale.
Beware of a possible scam with a person trying to rent out a unit at the trio. Her name is Rebecca Gardner and she is asking for money up front. According to her, she lives out of the country so the money needs to be set up in a pay pal account then you will receive the keys to her place. 900.00 dollars for a two bedroom apt in Belltown-Really?

Rubén Patiño - Rubén Patiño (Spain) is an artist working in the field of Electronic Music and Art. He is focused on the sculptural properties of synthetic sound while exploring the limits of concert, public event and installation. All his works tent to contain different strategies regarding space and formats of presentation while combining sound, lights, text, image or found materials with elements of early electronic music, ideograms and 20th Century art movements With works published in several labels such as Anòmia, Free Software Series, Alku and upcoming records on Ge-Stell and HyperMedium. He has also created multichannel pieces, installations and has extensively played solo concerts.
Cameron Shafii - Cameron Shafii is an Iranian composer practicing electronic and electroacoustic music. His compositions are inflected with a host of digital synthesis processes and are informed by aspects of acousmatic theory, particularly spectromorphology. His works do not impose any temporal scheme upon the listener - rejecting the semiotic operation of 'engagement/disengagement'. 'Pithy & Prolix' and 'Corpora Vilia' - his recent pieces published on the Anòmia and Conditional labels - present asymmetrical narratives that articulate tension, amorphous forms, and complex sonorities, signifiying a plurality of meaning and complication. Shafii has performed at concerts, festivals, and workshops, and has exhibited installations in the US and Canada. He runs the Ge-stell label and is based in Philadelphia, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in German at the University of Pennsylvania.
Praxis Cat - PraxisCat is the experimental electronic solo project from Christine Paluch. Christine is a DC based composer using synthesizers, code, and other musical instruments to explore the relationship between synesthesia and urban spaces.

Happiness depends upon comfort, surrounding, reciprocal love and caring for and sharing with living being one likes. Only what you give is what you really have. If it is appreciated.
It is wise to protect what one relies upon.
No rush, smog and society pressure. Exist. Feel. Live and let live. Learn how small and weak oneself actually is, finding what really matters in this world. It's not material.
combining the benefits of both ways of life.
Finding a balance between the modern and natural times.
Many animals, plants and fungi take part.
Live independent of industry and mass production.
Reducing the potential for crisis, quarrel & war. Harmony! Union! World peace!
1 Experience shows: It not works without automated tech. It not makes sense because it's not any better. It's hard, lengthy, repetitive work. Leading to quarrels and poverty which is a contradiction to what we want to achieve.
We want reciprocal love & happiness. Growing up with not little manual work showed the consequences are not desirable.
A world without abuse can only work via distributed, free, open, collaborative joint effort without prioritizing commercial interest. There will be enough work for people. It depends on whether it makes sense, the conditions are fair and on (self) education. More thinking instead of heavy lifting.
Let nature do and take a wise part. Feel natural.


Achinoam Nini, better known as Noa, was born in Israel in 1969 but grew up in New York. "When I was 17 years old I went back to Israel and I stayed here. At 18 years I served in the military, since it is obligatory for all in Israel. I spent two years doing performances in the Army band, making hundreds of presentations, often in difficult circumstances and in unpleasant conditions." After finishing military service, it was clear to Noa that she wanted to dedicate herself to music.
Noa enrolled in a music school for a year, where she met her musical partner, Gil Dor. "Gil is not only a great composer, arranger, guitarist," says Noa, "he is also a great friend." The influence of Gil in the duo's songs is diverse, from the contribution to the lyrics and music to the production and arrangements. "Even though I manage to carry out most of the musical creation, Gil is my second wing".
In her recordings, Noa sings in English, Hebrew and Yemeni. "Being bilingual is a very complicated subject. For example: In what language do you dream? From what root is poetic inspiration born? For me, although I have been living in Israel for many years, the answer is clear, in English. In the same way, my musical tendencies are more Western than Oriental. I've been inspired by musicians like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchel, James Taylor and Leonard Cohen, and in geniuses of poetry like E.E. Cummings".
Noa has collaborated with musicians from around the world, such as Florent Pagny, Eric Serra, Khaled (France), Maurane (Belgium), Juan Mnauel Serrat, Miguel Bosé, Carlos Núñez (Spain), Peter Maffay (Germany), Pino Daniele, Zuchero (Italy), Sting, Donovan (United Kingdom), Pat Metheny, Al DiMeola, Mike Manieri, Stevie Wonder and Santana (United States). She also collaborated with Palestinian musicians, such as Rim Bana and Amal Murkus.
Noa has raised her voice on numerous occasions for peace, including at the Peace Rally in Tel Aviv in 1995 where Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin was assassinated. She also participated in the White House and in Oslo in special concerts in his memory, both requested by President Bill Clinton. "I will I continue to do everything I can to promote peace in Israel and in the world," she said.
She collaborated frequently with Nabil, a Palestinian singer from the Italian world music group Radiodervish. The friendship between Nabil and Noa became more solid in 2000 and was made important by the delicate political situation in the Middle East. In July 2000 the town council of Melpignano (in the Province of Lecce, Italy) granted to both singers the Honorary Citizenship for the common engagement for peace. In December they received from the United Nations an invitation to sing together in the Duomo of Monreale (Palermo) in front of the Heads of States. The orchestra that accompanied them was directed by Maestro Nicola Piovani (author of the R. Benigni's soundtrack La Vita è bella).
The year 2001 was possibly the most important year for Noa, as she witnessed the birth of her first child, Ayehli.
In 2002 Noa participated in the Concert of the Three Cultures that took place in Seville, Spain on September 28.
Renowned vocalists Noa (Israel) and Pasión Vega (Spain) started their "Mediterráneas" tour on June 10 with an acclaimed concert at Festival de Pedralbes in Barcelona. The next concert will take place on July 6th at the Teatro de la Axerquía in Córdoba at 10:30 p.m.
The concerts feature duo performances as well as solo segments with their respective bands. "Mediterráneas" came up after Noa collaborated in the reissue of the "Pasión por Cano" album by Pasión Vega followed by an Israeli tour.
The rest of the Spanish tour includes Badajoz (7 July), Madrid (20 July), Ceuta (21 July), Jerez de la Frontera (22 July), Murcia 19 of August), Fuenlabrada (15 of September), Seville (16 of September) and Granada (20 of October).
Celebrated vocalists Pasión Vega (Spain) and Noa (Israel) are set to perform in Madrid on July 20, 2017. The event will take place at the Teatro Circo Price at 9:30 pm. The format includes each artist and her respective band separately and a set of duo songs.
Tickets are available online at the Circo Price box office.


On the third pitch of the game, Matthew Guidry followed a Gabe Montenegro leadoff single and hit a two-run home run over the center field wall. The home run was part of Southern Miss' seven-run rally in the first inning that led to a 9-0 win and weekend sweep over Old Dominion on Sunday.
The first inning featured three back-to-back RBI singles by Matt Wallner, Erick Hoard and Danny Lynch, but was capped off by Gabe Montenegro's two-run RBI triple to open the game for Southern Miss with a 7-0 lead.
Southern Miss tacked on two more runs both of which came from Erick Hoard. Hoard hit an RBI single in the second inning and then followed in the fifth inning with his first home run of the year.
Hoard finished 3-for-4 with three RBI and Montenegro finished 2-for-5 with two RBI.
The Southern Miss pitching staff for a second time on the series threw a shutout against the Monarchs. The Golden Eagles used six different pitchers but all together gave up only three hits.
Earning the win was Sean Tweedy, who in 2.1 innings pitched allowed one hit and struck out one batter.
Southern Miss will return to action on Tuesday against Nicholls St. on the road. First pitch is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Shrine on Airline in Metairie, Louisiana.


James, Ronny and I will be heading to Mt Boyce for an intermediate climbing trip in the Blue Mountains.
This trip is intended for people who have already climbed outdoor lead or top-rope. You have to be confident climbing outdoor routes with grades 17 or higher (as the wall that we'll climb does not offer very beginner level climbs). You also need to know how to perform abseil autonomously (preferably with self belay).
You need to have demonstrated these skills to one of the trip leaders. Routes are not particularly difficult but they are quite long and exposed.
You don't need to know how to lead climb though (top-ropes can be set for you 😉 ).
– Car pooling: please indicate when signing up if you can drive and how many seats you have available.

This crownsized Patina or retro-pattern Crown carries on the tradition of King George V with his Wreath Crowns. These were low mintage crowns usually only issued at Christmas time for presents. Remember the Great Depression was on and money was tough as were the times for many people. As no coins would have been issued for King Edward VIII until 1937 this is historically an important Patina piece. Fully crownsized and struck in Proof copper it is rather beautiful.
