Under sunny skies and on a breezy 75-degree day, Freedom High School musicians played in Honolulu, Hawaii, yesterday.
The musicians escaped the frigid northeastern United States Thursday for the first Aloha Bowl World of Music Festival.
The school's concert band and wind and jazz ensembles competed yesterday afternoon in Kapiolani Park. The park resembles the Hollywood Bowl and is next to the Pacific Ocean. Bands from nine school districts are competing. Results of the competition were not announced last night.
Last evening the Patriot band performed in Aloha Stadium and practiced with other groups for today's bowl parade. Other school bands came from Minnesota, California, Illinois and Hawaii. The Freedom twirlers also performed.
Some bands will be shown during the halftime of the Aloha Bowl football game, but which bands will be seen is not known. In addition to the school bands, many professional musical groups will be in the parade.
Competition winners will be honored during a dinner tonight at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.
The 54 students and chaperones who caught a plane out of Harrisburg flew into a snowstorm in Chicago. They were delayed two hours and left O'Hare Airport 30 minutes before it was closed because of the weather.
The 196 students and chaperones who flew out of the Newark, N.J., airport were delayed on takeoff for about 1 1/2 hours. A plane carrying Freedom followers was delayed at Kennedy Airport in New York and consequently missed a California connecting flight, resulting in a delayed arrival in Hawaii.
Travel time amounted to about 17 hours for each group.

Keanu Reeves, those two stars from whom he demanded an autograph
News Desk· January 14, 2022
The American actor Keanu Reeves revealed some personal anecdotes Thursday evening on the set of the "Late Show", broadcast on CBS.
We knew he was generous, humble … But we did not know that he preferred apples to oranges. Keanu Reeves unveiled still secret facets of his personality Thursday night in the "Late Show", broadcast on the American TV channel CBS. The 57-year-old actor, invited by Stephen Colbert, answered fifteen questions, each more unlikely than the last.
The host asked the performer of Neo in "The Matrix" if he had ever asked for autographs from celebrities. Keanu Reeves replied yes, "Lou Reed, but it wasn't for me". "He just wrote 'Lou Reed' in blue ink." "At the same time, it would be very disappointing if it weren't for 'Lou Reed'," the host said with a laugh. "I know but he could have said 'All my wishes' or 'Happy Holidays', I don't know," he said before adding that he also had the signature of the comedian George Carlin, passed away in 2008. "It was very funny because he wrote: 'Dear Keanu, fuck you'," he recounted, triggering laughter from the spectators. "I always thought he only wrote this for me and then I met someone who told me he wrote the same to him."

Keanu Reeves also confessed that the animal that scared him the most was the spider and that he preferred apples to oranges because the mixture with peanut butter was exquisite. Finally, Stephen Colbert asked him five words to describe the rest of his life. "What kind of question is that?" He blurted out. "It's not a question, it's a request," replied the host. "Health, love, friendship, making art, motorcycling". It doesn't make five, even in English, but it's impossible to blame him.

Son port d'attache actuel est Douarnenez dans le Finistère.
Son immatriculation est D E11671L, quartier maritime de Douarnenez.

Histoire
Ce lougre a été construit en 1964, d'après un plan de James Mc Gruer au chantier naval James Adam & Sons dans le Sud-ouest de l'Écosse sur la rivière Clyde. Ce type de bateau était utilisé pour la pêche au hareng. Rose of Argyll a navigué jusqu'aux années 1990 sur la côte écossaise et anglaise.

When Jessica was nine years old, she wanted to be Phil Donahue. If you don't know who that is, ask your parents (or grandparents!). When she was 16, she hosted a radio show for teens on WDIY FM, which was her local NPR affiliate. From there, she studied at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where she earned her bachelor and master degrees. During college, Jessica spent part of her junior year reporting at WKYT-TV, the CBS affiliate in Lexington, Kentucky. In graduate school, she served as the Washington Correspondent for both WCAX-TV, the CBS affiliate in Burlington, Vermont and the Spartanburg Herald Journal based in South Carolina.
After graduate school, Jessica had an opportunity to take an intensive course in Social Entrepreneurship at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and represented the United States on two occasions at the ROI International Summit. She is one of the youngest people in the country to be named a regional finalist for the White House Fellows Program, the nation's most prestigious program for leadership and commitment to public service.
Life in TV News
After she graduated from Medill, Jessica worked as a news anchor and reporter at different stations across the country and covered everything from breaking news, politics on Capitol Hill and wrongful conviction cases to sports, food and Fashion Week. She is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and produced and hosted a documentary on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Her film, Passing the Torch, debuted in New York City.
Jessica Abo TV (JaboTV)
In 2010, Jessica was working at NY1 when a student at Rutgers University became the victim of cyber-bullying. Tyler Clementi's roommate set up a webcam and captured him kissing another man and shared that content online. At just 18 years old, Tyler ended his life by jumping off the George Washington Bridge. Jessica reported on the trial that followed, and every time she sat behind the anchor desk, she felt she had to do something to help teens who are hurting.
She started a production company, and the first thing she launched was a YouTube channel called JABOTV to empower kids, teenagers and college students. In her year-long "Open Up Wednesday" series, she asked celebrity guests how they turned an OUW™ (pronounced: ow!) moment into a POUWER™ story. She developed an Ambassador Program, which enabled her to mentor teens across the U.S. Her channel was featured in FORBES and on "The Meredith Vieira Show" and she was asked to speak about her content at the United Nations. Those videos caught the attention of Entrepreneur magazine, and Jessica has been a contributor there ever since.
Jessica has received several awards for her commitment to philanthropy and anti-bullying work. During the George W. Bush Administration, she was one of the youngest people in the country to be named a regional finalist to the White House Fellows Program, the nation's most prestigious program for leadership and commitment to public service. Her TEDx Talk "BEE THE CHANGE" has been incorporated into college curriculums in the United States and abroad. Jessica's passion for making a difference started early in life. Over the years, she's spearheaded several initiatives, including the following:
When she was 16, she organized a fundraiser to help the first black family known to have sextuplets in the United States. Through her efforts, Jessica helped the family receive a home, van and free college tuition for the babies -- who are now adults.
In 2002, Jessica ran the Chicago Marathon in memory of Jarrett Mynear, a 13-year-old boy who died of cancer. She also started "The NU Joy Cart," in Jarrett's memory, which brought toys to children in the hospital.
Following the 2004 tsunami, Jessica organized a benefit to raise money for the survivors. The event raised $20,000, which helped pay for a new water purification system in a village with no clean water, outside of Phuket.
In 2008, Jessica started a movement called "Team Dylan" in honor of Dylan Rabinovich. Dylan is living with a rare genetic disease called Emanuel Syndrome. Jessica organized a black-tie gala called "The Don't Stop Believing Benefit" to support Chromosome 22 Central, the only non-profit dedicated to helping children with rare chromosome disorders – and their families. Jessica also ran the New York City Marathon to raise awareness about C22C.
In 2010, Jessica met a Haitian cab driver named Emanuel. Jessica was trying to find out how she could help those who survived the earthquake and Emanuel shared that his family and friends needed clothes. Jessica organized, "A Happy Hour for Haiti," which collected thousands of t-shirts for those in need.
In 2012, Jessica put together a black-tie gala to support the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation. Actress Kelly Rutherford hosted the event, which attracted more than 600 guests and raised more than $250,000 in donations. To promote the cause, Jessica produced a celebrity music video with the Mayor of NYC, several athletes, movie stars, and fashion designers. The event helped clear thousands of swab kits waiting to be added to the international bone marrow registry. To date, more than 50 kits turned out to be the perfect match for cancer patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.

Ranked! The 12 best international sides who DIDN'T win a major trophy
The unbelievable underachievers and unluckiest teams ever - who never touched a scrap of silverware for their efforts
(Image credit: PA)
The beauty of international football is that the World Cup still feels such a big deal because it only happens once every four years. But if you don't win that? Never mind, there's a Euros, Copa America or Africa Cup of Nations to compete for in between. Sometimes two.
So while France in 1986 or Brazil in 1950 might have cases for being the best teams to have never won World Cups - they still achieved something. The Michel Platini-inspired Les Bleus cleared up at Euro 84, while the Selecao literally won the Copa America just a year before their Maracana meltdown in 1950, thrashing Paraguay 7-0.
The Germans have done the same thing on a number of occasions - compensating for a bad World Cup by lifting the Euros before or after - while England's 1968-70 team can't really claim to be one of the best to never win a big competition: it was essentially the same team from 1966. France's team from 2014 to 2016 was outstanding but lived up to their expectations by winning a World Cup in 2018, while Ivory Coast from 2007 to 2014 should have done more, they did at least triumph at AFCON in 2015.
So who really ended up empty-handed? Who didn't win anything and really should have done? And just to be clear, we're not counting smaller competitions like football at the Olympics, Home Championships or regional titles - we mean the big ones.
12. England 1996-2000
As the Premier League began to catch fire, England proved a lot of things on the international scene that they'd never proven before. When seas of flag-waving fans chanted the chorus of Three Lions, they believed that silverware was coming home - it wasn't just a song about how England had hosting rights to Euro 96.
IN THE MAG Thierry Henry exclusive! Plus Rangers, Rocastle, Mascherano, Maradona, Chopra, Appleton and more
England pivoted between back threes and fours in the mid-90s, relying on experience from the likes of Stuart Pearce, Paul Ince and Tony Adams and bringing through the likes of Steve McManaman, Michael Owen and David Beckham. Euro 96 wasn't to be; when France 98 came around, the Three Lions proved they could win ugly, come clutch in big moments and perhaps most impressively, hold the world back with defensive performances as titanic as you'd see from any side on the planet.
By Euro 2000, the team were fully in transition - though they really ought to have made it out of their group. England didn't have anything to show from three tournaments close to home, under three managers, with a decent set of players at their disposal. We'd seen it all before.
11. Portugal 1964-68
A Russian linesman's vision isn't the only point of contention when it comes to England's only World Cup win. There was a lot of bemusement at the decision to force Portugal to London down from Liverpool for the semi-final, just because it was against the hosts.
Portugal were the outstanding side in the 1966 World Cup. Eusebio picked up the Golden Boot with nine goals across the tournament, including four against North Korea in the knockouts, as the Portuguese bulldozed their way through the competition, beating holders Brazil, former superpower Hungary and Bulgaria along the way.
England eventually knocked out Os Navegadores, who finished third in the competition with a consolation win over the other beaten semi-finalists, Soviet Union. Portugal didn't qualify for the European Championship either side of this World Cup, meaning that Eusebio never did get the international trophy he deserved.
10. Ghana 2008-12
Ghana were ranked 14 in the world in 2008. They won every game to qualify for the World Cup in 2010, before getting out of their group and winning their first knockout match against the United States after extra time. Then came infamy against them, in the shape of Luis Suarez's deliberate handball, Asamoah Gyan's missed penalty and the team we all thought would become the first African side to ever reach a World Cup semi-final, falling at the quarters.
The episode, unfortunately, lives longer in the memory than how good that Ghanian group actually was. They were beautifully fluid in attack and intelligent in the way they sat back only for the central defenders to press forward and win long balls. Coach Milovan Rajevac got drive and dynamism from an inexperienced squad who were missing their best player, Michael Essien, after he suffered a knee injury at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier that year. It's easy to forget that, too.
When Ghana were beaten in the 2010 AFCON final by a single late Egypt goal, it certainly didn't seem like the end of a road: but when the surprise package of Zambia knocked them out of the AFCON semi-final in 2012, it called time on a great era for the side. Who knows what they could have achieved, had luck been on their side?
9. Argentina 2014-16
Well, if Eusebio was deserving of a medal for his ability, then what about Messi? There seems to be this myth that the little genius underwhelmed at the 2014 World Cup, too - not bad considering he won the Best Player award and scored five goals.
Some would argue that the Brazil-based spectacle came at Lionel Messi's peak; he dragged his country to a showdown with Germany in the final and looking across at some of the other faces there - Di Maria, Mascherano, Higuain, Aguero but to name a few - perhaps he should have had a little more help from his friends… especially when Gonzalo Higuain missed a gilt-edged chance in the first half to give Argentina the lead in the final.
2015 and '16, however, gave La Albiceleste the chance at redemption, with two consecutive Copa America tournaments. Messi racked up seven assists and six goals across the two editions, the likes of Ever Banega and Javier Pastore featuring more in the spotlight. But Argentina went and lost on penalties, twice, to Chile, for their first two Copa titles in a century. Messi could only take them so far.
8. Brazil 1982-83
There are some that claim the early '80s vintage to be the finest iteration of Brazilian talent ever. Led by the legendary Socrates in midfield, fronted by all-time Brazilian league top scorer Roberto Dinamite (yes, that was really his name) and coached by mad scientist Tele Santana, the Brazilians went all-out attack at all times, inspiring, influencing and capturing hearts for their desire to entertain.
BRAZIL Pain, poverty, bribery and glory: the extraordinary rise of Roberto Firmino
Of course, it was throwing such caution to the wind that scuppered the bananas Brazilians. Needing only to draw against Italy to go through the second round of groups, Brazil lost 3-2 to a wilier and wiser opponent. A year later - without Santana in charge - they'd reach a Copa America final, only to be beaten over two legs by Uruguay.
This team has been a stick to beat beautiful football with for almost 40 years. What good is entertainment if it doesn't win you a trophy? Nevertheless, Santana is still remembered in folklore as "the last romantic of Brazilian football". This side played the game with verve and freedom: they were great for entirely different reasons to so many others.
7. Portugal 2000-06
It was actually the Portuguese media who coined the term, "golden generation", with Luis Figo the principal golden boy. After consecutive FIFA Youth Championship wins in 1989 and 1991, the nation expected. Figo, Nuno Gomes, Rui Costa, Joao Pinto Fernando Couto, Ricardo Carvalho, Deco and a young Cristiano Ronaldo all blossomed in the early 21st century. The nation looked set to destroy a long drought on the international stage.
Portugal took the best side on Earth, France, to extra-time in the Euro 2000 semi-finals, eventually losing to a Zinedine Zidane golden goal. In 2006, Zizou would again be the deciding factor in the semi-finals in Germany, Les Bleus triumphing 1-0. What happened in between, however, still leaves some scratching their heads.
In 2002, Portugal suffered a strange meltdown to lose twice in the group stages and fail to advance, citing two harsh red cards against South Korea as an excuse. Nevertheless, Korea were in front of their own fans - something that the Selecao should have learned from two years later. How on Earth did Portugal lose Euro 2004 on home soil to Greece, of all teams?
This was the same year that Jose Mourinho had won the Champions League with Porto; the nation were at a peak, with a wealth of depth and this was the opportune moment. Zero out of four for the golden generation was quite the underachievement - but 2004 took the biscuit.
Midway through the 2006 World Cup, BBC Sport pundit Alan Hansen revealed his team of the tournament so far: it consisted entirely of Argentina players. In truth, Big Al wasn't being silly, either. The team had breezed through their group of death, drawing with the Netherlands, beating Ivory Coast and spanking Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 - where Esteban Cambiasso finished the famed 25-pass goal.
This tournament was the coming of age for Tevez, Mascherano, Cambiasso and Crespo. Juan Roman Riquelme was puppeteering in midfield, Javier Zanetti and Roberto Ayala were colossuses for La Albiceleste; this was only two years on from the Copa America penalty shootout loss to Brazil, yet this squad had good profiles across the pitch and were playing with the rhythm of a club side. Of course, it helped to have an 18-year-old Lionel Messi to bring on, too - he netted in the Serbian demolition and had one ruled out in the second round.
Argentina's tournament ended in shootout disappointment again, followed by a punch-up with the German opposition. Coach Jose Pekerman was roundly criticised for leaving Messi on the bench against the hosts, who let's face it, were nowhere near as strong as the Argentinians.
By the time the next Copa America rolled around, legendary manager Alfio Basile was in charge. Essentially the same side, a year older, lost 3-0 in the final to a woeful Brazilian team bereft of Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, who instead put faith in fresher faces, such as Robinho, Julio Baptista and Elano. That was it, lads. That was the chance.
5. Italy 1990-94
Pick an era, any era, between 1982 and 2006. There's a strong chance that Italy would have been among the three or four favourites for any major tournament in that time, and yet, they won absolutely nothing. That's astounding - especially considering the Baggios, Viallis, Zolas, Maldinis, Baresis, Del Pierros, Tottis, Vieris and everyone else that they've produced during that time.
But for our money, 1990 to 1994 is where the Azzurri really should have won something. Arrigo Sacchi was reinventing the club game in Serie A with a breathtaking vision and invincible teams, Italy had the best defenders in the world and there was flair a-plenty in the forwards. Not only that but the 1990 World Cup was at home, the trophy destined for Italian hands - only for Diego Maradona to nail the winning penalty in his adopted home of Naples against the hosts in the last four. If only they hadn't have sat back after taking the lead.
A single defeat in qualification to Norway was the difference in Italy not making Euro 92. When the World Cup came around in '94, however, the bulk of the squad was built from AC Milan's outstanding Champions League winners with Sacchi in charge. Italy somehow lost their first game to the Republic of Ireland and after Gianluca Pagliuca handled outside the area against Norway (again), Sacchi took off a cheesed off Roberto Baggio to save the game.
The risk paid off, as the Azzurri won 1-0, snuck through the groups to beat Nigeria, Spain and then an in-form Bulgaria: they came good eventually. In the end though, you'll only remember the comical penalty miss from Baggio that sealed Brazil's fourth world title. It marked a miserable midpoint in one of the most disastrous droughts in international history.
4. England 2001-07
It started with a 5-1 drubbing of the Germans in their own garden; it ended with a sodden Steve McClaren watching in anguish at a Scott Carson howler. It remains the most impressive crop of footballers that this country had ever produced, with not so much as a semi-final to show for it.
CHRIS FLANAGAN What happened to England's "Golden Generation"? How the country's most talented squad never came good
The Brazilians will tell you that England were a difficult prospect in 2002 - and they could well have been sincere about that, despite the youth, injuries and inexperience at that World Cup. Over two more penalty shootouts against Portuguese-speaking opposition, though, England should have done better - despite Wayne Rooney missing the finales to both matches.
Portugal were in their own golden generation, granted, but as we all found out, they clearly weren't unbeatable. England had Champions League winners past and present, leaders and titans across the pitch; for so long, the conversation was about their lack of a left-footed left-winger and yet we've seen teams without so much as a striker sweep up at tournaments since.
The players were there: it was the tactical side that let down the Three Lions. And that's the total opposite for most teams. It remains the greatest shot at ending all those years of hurt.
3. Belgium 2016-present
Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Vincent Kompany, Axel Witsel, Radja Nainggolan, Mousa Dembele, Eden Hazard, Dries Mertens, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Yannick Carrasco… need we continue?
The Belgian dream isn't over by any stretch; they're the envy of much of the continent for many with the players that they currently have. But for many of Marc Wilmots' Euro 2016 squad, that chance to win something with the Red Devils is all but over; Kompany, Nainggolan and Dembele have all ridden off into sunsets, while many of that fated crop will only get back on the horse one final time this summer.
Ultimately, it may well be thanks to the British that they never reached their potential. After all, it was the Welsh that rose to slay a much superior Belgium team on paper in 2016, before the English took a loss to Belgium in the 2018 World Cup group stage, in order to give themselves the easier run to a semi-final. On the first occasion, poor tactics seemed to hamper the Belgians; on the second, they beat Brazil and were undone by a generational French side in Saint Petersburg.
If they'd have beaten Wales in 2016, they'd have played a weak-looking Portugal in a semi-final before France in Paris. If they'd have lost to England in 2018, they'd have probably faced the same French side in a World Cup final. Who's to say they wouldn't have won at least one of those games? Anything can happen in a final - perhaps we'd be looking at that France side as one of the greatest to never win a tournament instead.
2. Hungary 1953-56
OK, so Hungary won Olympic gold in 1952, back when it was a more prestigious event than it is now. But that's not what the Mighty Magyars are remembered for. Not really.
In 1953, a Ferenc Puskas-led Hungarian team became the first team outside of the British Isles and Ireland to beat England, in what was dubbed 'The Match of the Century', prompting an entire re-think of English football. A year months later, they proved it wasn't a fluke, thrashing the Three Lions 7-1 in Budapest. When the 1954 World Cup came began, it was Hungary's to lose - and sure enough, they triumphed 4-2 over holders Brazil before inflicting Uruguay's first-ever World Cup defeat without Puskas.
The final was against West Germany, who Hungary had beaten 8-3 earlier in the tournament. Yet the Germans triumphed in what was labelled 'The Miracle of Bern', thanks to an outrageous defensive performance, a couple of controversial refereeing decisions and sheer luck. It became a Sliding Doors moments for two nations - not least because Hungary would never again reach the World Cup final, while this was the first of four German titles.
While the win had given West Germany a sense of much-needed pride that they hadn't felt since before the war, demonstrations erupted in Budapest, directed not just at the Mighty Magyars but the communist-authoritarian regime. General secretary Matyas Rakosi, who had used the Golden Team's prestige to boost his own reputation, came under staunch criticism.
Hungary would beat superpowers old and new in Scotland and Soviet Union, going unbeaten in 19 games before the Hungarian revolution tore apart the team. Era-defining stars like Sandor Kocsis, Zoltan Czibor and Puskas moved to play in Spain and avoid conflict. The greatest team the world had witnessed were beaten by time and politics - and just a single on-field opponent.
1. Netherlands 1974-78
The Netherlands only qualified for their first World Cup on goal difference when a perfectly good Belgium goal was ruled out for offside against them. Yet the Oranje took the lead in the final the following summer, with a Johan Cruyff penalty kick before West Germany had so much as kicked the ball. They were perhaps the most beguiling, bewitching team to ever take to grass - but when they capitulated, they made sure they did it in front of watching eyes.
A four-year run of Dutch European Cup winners had just ended, first with Feyenoord in '69 before Ajax weaved pass-and-move football to three straight continental titles. The architect, Rinus Michels, was instilled as head coach just 12 weeks before the 1974 tournament in West Germany, tasked with implementing his tactical blueprint at international level with a squad mostly made up of Ajax and Feyenoord stars. Cruyff, now at Barcelona, was the Lennon-esque icon around which the carousel football pivoted.
JOHAN CRUYFF Simplicity matters: how did the Cruyff Turn become so iconic?
Holland were foiled by good, old-fashioned defensive brilliance and their own complacency, in the end, reverting to conventional long balls by the end of the final. In the wake of defeat, Cruyff declared the Dutch legacy to be deeper than winning: and so began the idea of the Netherlands producing beautiful losers. At Euro 76, the Oranje were beaten in extra-time in a semi; in '78, they'd again reach the World Cup final only to be swept aside by the hosts again - this time Cruyff-less and against Argentina.
The Netherlands had beaten Brazil in the '74 semi-final to snatch a baton from them. They were now the keepers of the beautiful game. They've long since lost it - perhaps, symbolically, the official pass-over came in 2010 against the Spanish, when tiki-taka trounced a much dirtier Dutch team.
But that's all that the Oranje ever had, unfortunately. A title, and not one that comes with silverware. They're forever labelled the best team to have never won the World Cup. In fact, they won nothing at all.

Time Stands Still
By Tom Booth
Reflect on eternal life and our reliance on God with this energetic and uplifting collection from Tom Booth.
By the Love of God
You Are All that I Need
In My Father's House
My Lord Walks Upon the Water
More than Conquerors
The Jesus Song
Tear Through the Veil
Time Stands Still [CD]
An inspiring reminder to trust God
More about faith than fear, more about life than death, Tom Booth's most recent album Time Stands Still is a reflection on the themes of eternity and living life in complete reliance on the grace of God. Energetic and uplifting, it serves as a reminder that our eyes need to be focused on Jesus, even as the storms draw near.
A myriad of musical styles
From upbeat bluegrass to slow, sweet ballads and energetic worship songs, Tom's latest collection will take you on a musical journey that will keep you on your toes as you wait to hear what's coming next. A couple of the songs were recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and feature some of the best instrumentalists from the area—listen to the banjo on "You Are All that I Need" and you'll hear for yourself.
Songs for worship, prayer and liturgy
Working with critically acclaimed Matt Maher, Tom co-wrote "By the Love of God" and the result is a strong liturgical and sacramental worship song. "My Lord Walks upon the Water" is a moving, prayer-driven piece that unites lyric and melody in a perfect, flowing way. Based on the spirituality of Saint John of the Cross, "Tear Through the Veil" closes the record and its lyrics resound with a truth that cannot be denied. Perfect for personal reflection and meditation, many songs also work well for contemporary liturgy.

Apple's new HomeKit tools for developers won't come with a centralized app like Health or Passbook, instead leveraging the ability of the iOS voice-driven personal assistant Siri to allow users to control the temperature, lights, locks and other accessories in a modern "smart home."
With iOS 8 still in beta, HomeKit support within the operating system is limited, and a lack of available third-party apps means the controls cannot yet be tested. But Siri already responds to some HomeKit-related commands.
The current responses from Siri in iOS 8 beta 2, and details revealed by Apple at this month's Worldwide Developers Conference, do give a glimpse into exactly how HomeKit will work with the virtual assistant.
For example, users will be able to use natural voice to issue commands such as "lock my front door" or "turn on the kitchen lights." But Siri will also be able to provide users with the status of objects in their home, handling queries such as "is my garage door open?"
At the moment, without any compatible third-party apps freely available, Siri simply responds with the error "Sorry, I tried by the request failed."
As Apple detailed to developers earlier this month, built-in HomeKit services include garage door openers, lights, door locks, thermostats, IP camera controls, switches and more. These individual accessories will have unique characteristics such as current power state, lock state, brightness, and current temperature.
The goal of HomeKit is to unify and simplify the control of smart home accessories, but Apple won't be doing this with a dedicated app. Instead, developers will still have to make their own third-party tools to control smart home accessories, but now those apps will be able to hook into Siri to allow unified control without the need to manually select apps and settings.
But Apple admitted to developers at WWDC that it cannot possibly imagine all of the unique implementations of HomeKit that developers may dream up. While common accessories such as connected light bulbs or thermostats may be obvious, some hardware makers could build more unique options that might not fit into predefined smart home categories.
With that in mind, Apple has given developers the ability to create and define their own accessory categories.
"We don't want HomeKit to be restricted and contained. We want HomeKit to create innovation and creativity," Kevin McLaughlin, a software engineering manager at Apple, explained in a HomeKit WWDC presentation earlier this month.
Users won't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network to access and control their HomeKit accessories. Apple has also baked remote access into its system, which ensures users will be able to check whether they locked the front door or closed the garage —and fix it if they didn't— when they are away from home.
Security is also a key focus for Apple. HomeKit includes end-to-end encryption between iOS devices and accessories. In addition, the HomeKit API requires that applications in use be in the foreground, so that the user knows exactly what app is controlling their devices at home.
HomeKit supports multiple homes, so users will be able to control accessories at a variety of locations if need be. Each home contains not only accessories, but names of specific rooms that are saved within the HomeKit settings.
Once individual rooms and accessories are identified through HomeKit and third-party apps, Apple's Siri can then recognize and control them. This allows users to issue commands such as, "lock the front door."
HomeKit will debut with iOS 8 on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which is scheduled to become available this fall. Developers will need to release new or update existing apps in order to tap into the power of HomeKit, which is the purpose of the current beta period.

Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead and John Lupton developed what became the Coca‑Cola worldwide bottling system.
Among the biggest challenges for early bottlers, were imitations of the beverage by competitors coupled with a lack of packaging consistency among the 1,000 bottling plants at the time.
He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed "excellent" by those who sampled it. During the first year, sales averaged a modest nine servings per day in Atlanta.
Today, daily servings of Coca‑Cola beverages are estimated at 1.9 billion globally.
hi warren, thanks for all the information, looks like you found really good ones.

Liam Morgan: It all starts with a Nescafé...
Following the release of his first report, Richard McLaren was the subject of criticism and scrutiny from those who claimed he had no proof.
The vast amount of these dissenting voices came from Russia, of course. They said he had no evidence. They said it was all baseless allegations.
They told the Canadian law professor to go and find the evidence.
What he and his dedicated team managed to uncover forms the basis of a deeply troubling second part of the report - a 151-page document containing damning, disturbing and appalling evidence of a state-sponsored doping system in Russia, which was in place between 2011 and 2015 and was described as an "institutionalised and disciplined medal-winning strategy and conspiracy".
The statistics truly make for grim reading. In a gruesome rebuttal to all the previous doubters, McLaren revealed more than 1,000 Russian athletes competing in summer, winter and Paralympic sport can be identified as having been involved in or benefitting from manipulations to cover up positive tests. According to the Canadian, 246 of these knew exactly what they were doing.
This included at least 600 summer athletes and 95 winter athletes, while McLaren and his investigative squad found proof of the tampering of samples of 12 Olympic medallists from Sochi 2014. Urine collected from six of 21 Paralympic medal winners was also found to have allegedly been interfered with.
Having examined 1,166 documents and more than 4,000 excel spreadsheets, McLaren was unwavering in his condemnation of the doping programme in Russia. He believes the system in place, carefully crafted over an extended period of time to allow Russian athletes to compete with the aid of banned substances, gave the nation licence to "hijack" international sports competitions, including London 2012, which they "corrupted on an unprecedented scale, the extent of which will probably never be established".
It is the methods and sheer scale of the operation, overseen by the Sports Ministry and implemented by doctors and "magicians" - the FSB agents who were tasked with opening sample bottles in order to carry out the illicit orders from above - which beggars belief.
A particular part of the speech given by McLaren which caught my eye was when he said: "The mechanics of the manipulation and cover up of doping control processes evolved as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) updated and changed the regulatory landscape.
"Our investigation has revealed that for every action by WADA, there was a Russian reaction."

Essentially, Russia were always one step ahead.
Of the drugs testers, of doping control officers and of WADA. Does this reflect badly on the work of WADA as an organisation or was the level of manipulation so vast that even a stronger body would have missed it?
Even when they were closing in, they managed to find an escape route. This included Grigor Rodchenkov, the man whose initial allegations in the New York Times sparked the entire investigation and the chaos that followed, adding coffee granules to a clean urine sample to replicate the appearance of the dirty sample it had been swapped for.
Nescafé was the brand of choice, according to McLaren. Rodchenkov took such drastic action when WADA sent the Moscow Laboratory a notice to save targeted samples as he knew at least 10 of those on the list were dirty. But then he encountered a problem; they only had clean urine stored for eight of them.
"So he got to work," as McLaren describes.
This is when he took his pot of Nescafé instant coffee granules and set about ensuring the clean sample matched the gravity and appearance of the one it was replacing.
Coffee wasn't the only foreign substance added to urine. The report states a number of samples were found to have "physiologically impossible" levels of salt - yet more evidence of tampering - on both ends of the scale.
Some were too low, while the salt recordings on others was off the charts. Science proves that simply does not happen naturally.
Not only that, but thanks to the use of DNA analysis, McLaren's investigation was able to reveal the samples of two female ice hockey players at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi had been swapped for male ones.
This had been done using a "thin metal strip", which enabled the "magicians" to open the bottles and switch the samples. They left a fatal trace, however, as scratch marks appeared after the device had achieved its purpose.
We were given a fascinating off-the-record briefing by McLaren's chief investigator Martin Dubbey prior to the publication of the report itself, which outlined how they believed the "thin metal strip" was a key cog in the entire process. It gave all hacks an insight into the technicalities of a small yet integral element of how this system functioned.
While the reaction to the report and the evidence presented from the Russians was as expected as it was frustrating, McLaren was defiant in his defence of the proof of the state-sponsored programme. The professor must have felt more than a touch of vindication as he spoke to the attending media.

"Further forensic and analytical testing, those immutable facts I spoke of earlier and completed since the 1st report provides confirmation of the conspiracy," he said.
"While the narrative of how all these pieces fit together seems like fiction the forensic testing which is based on immutable fact is conclusive.
"The forensic evidence does not rely on verbal testimony to draw a conclusion. Rather it tests the physical evidence, and a conclusion is drawn from the result.
"The result of the forensic and laboratory analysis initiated by my team established the conspiracy that was perpetrated between 2011 and 2015."
What he was not able to do, however, was find a link between the state-sponsored system and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). It was a lack of such a link which played a part in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) opting not to impose a blanket ban on athletes from the country at Rio 2016.
"We have no clear evidence of that," McLaren said.
Without it, the IOC might struggle to find the legal grounds to impose the level of sanctions many of us had called for in the wake of the publication of the first report.
United States Anti-Doping Agency Travis Tygart countered this particular point in an interview with the BBC yesterday evening, claiming the ROC should still be held responsible as they are the "organisation responsible for the entire sports movement in the country".
The IOC find themselves in a similar position to pre-Rio 2016, only this time they are armed with substantial and "mmutable" facts provided by the McLaren Report, which will be shared with the two Commissions established by the IOC into the state-sponsored doping allegations. Their decision, one which many thought they got wrong, to allow Russians to take part at the Rio Games was made based on the first report, which did not have the proof given in the second.
It is this which the IOC must base their next decision on Russia. A complete ban on athletes from Pyeongchang 2018 does not seem unreasonable, particularly as the clean athletes which they are often so keen to protect are those who have suffered at the hands of the Russians the most.
Surely the powers-that-be must apologise to the clean athletes who have been wronged at not just London 2014 and Sochi 2014, but at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, the 2013 World Athletics Championships and other major events corrupted in the five-year period detailed by McLaren.

They also need to be tough on the International Federations who still see no problem with Russia staging major events. The likes of the governing bodies for bobsleigh and skeleton, both of whom released statements yesterday condemning the actions of Russia and vowing to study the report before taking action, need to hold the country accountable. Strip the events, find an alternative host and move on.
In fairness to the IOC, their response to yesterday's report was swift and deserves recognition. Extending the mandate of the Oswald Commission, which is looking in to the sample-swapping at Sochi 2014, to include London 2012 was an essential development if we are to begin to comprehend just how deep the corruption from the Russians went.
IOC President Thomas Bach then reiterated his call for anyone involved to be banned from future editions of the Olympics. "Professor McLaren's completed report demonstrates a fundamental attack on the integrity of sport," Bach said in a video message.
"For me as an Olympian, any athlete or official who took part in such a sophisticated manipulation system should be excluded for life from any participation in the Olympic Games in whatever capacity."
Others, including Institute of National Anti-Doping Organisations chief Joseph de Pencier, were slightly wide of the mark. He compared the situation in Russia to that of the notorious East German doping scheme - state plan 14.25 - where countless athletes were unknowingly doped up to their eyeballs for decades.
The success that followed catapulted them into sporting prominence, especially at the Olympic Games, but the athletes involved suffered devastating consequences, such as serious health problems and even death.
The two cases, in my opinion, bare similarities but the Russian scandal cannot be compared until competitors in Putin's Empire endure the harms their East German counterparts have at the hands of their own Government.
Unsurprisingly, the response of the Russians yesterday was of complete and utter denial. Among the latest sticks the country has beaten McLaren with are that his latest report is nothing but "lies", while the Sports Ministry reiterated the prominent view in the nation that there is, no matter what a Canadian lawyer might say, no state-sponsored system. In their minds, it does not exist.
The dismissive attitude of Russia will not bother McLaren a jot. After all, he is used to it by now.

Part two of his report was barely an hour old when the negative reaction from the accused country came flooding in. "This is what we expected. There's nothing new, only empty allegations against all of us," Russian MP Dmitry Svishchev said.
"I would say read the report. Its findings are not challengeable," McLaren replied. "He is reacting in a vacuum because he has not read the report,"
One politician even went as far as calling for United States President-elect Donald Trump to "put an end to this".
Somehow, that seems as likely as Russia for once doing the right thing and accepting the findings for what they are: a damning indictment of how they cheated sport and cheated the world.


A range of hills in southwestern England, not far off from Oxford, is the Cotswolds and the area is one of the country's most desired holiday destinations. For its landscape of rolling green hills and lakes and to stay in the picturesque villages that can be found throughout the region the reason visitors come to stop by.
Most tourists visit villages Northleach, Cheltenham, Cirencester, and Chipping Campden. These places attract tourists for their buildings are made from local limestone wherein they can enjoy a variety of tea shops and bed and breakfasts.
When visiting the area, don't miss the Broadway Tower. Built on a hilltop, this 18th-century castle is more than 1,000 feet above sea level and is the second highest point in the Cotswolds. As travelers can see as many as 16 different counties from the tower, the views are fantastic and breathtaking!
One of the largest towns in the area is Cirencester and is the so-called "Capital of the Cotswolds." Majority of the city's buildings date back to the 18th century although it has a long history dating back to the Roman era, and was a vital trading center throughout the Middle Ages. Nonetheless, the town is worth to visit. One of the best part when visiting is its Market Place, which is packed with marketeer every day of the week.
The village of Northleach not far from Cirencester, is another popular destination. The significant attraction is the village's Market Place just like Cirencester, which dates back to the wool trade of the Medieval Period. The town's buildings have its history on its own because it dates back to that period as well, and are very quaint.
Chipping Campden is another village whose medieval identity can be easily seen. The town has a small High Street that is lined with historic homes and small shops and can be seen at the northern end of the hills. Built upon an older outdoor trading post and in lieu of a Market Place, the village has a Market Hall that dates back to the 17th century.
Ultimately, the village of Cheltenham is another big draw. The town is ideal for tourists, as it's a bustling place with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and hotels and its local spring had made the town Britain's most popular spa destination.
Visitors may want to experience visiting off-peak for some peace and quiet or getting out and exploring the local countryside a bit more because the high-season usually sees these villages swamped with tourists. The Log House Holidays company rents out log cabins with hot tubs to visitors, most of which are set on pleasant lakes in the countryside. For a few hundred miles from Chipping Campden all the way to Bath, one may otherwise hit the Cotswold Way trail that stretches across the region.
With a landscape like no other, this magnificent place gives the Swedish capital a mystical and fascinating beauty. Stockholm has started to transform into a dynamic and lively city with all the bars, restaurants, and shopping places that seem to pop out everywhere.
A number of well-dressed patrons usually enjoy the cocktails and music at the scenic island of Djurgården. Locals and tourists alike can have fun exploring the city for happy vibes. The food and drinks are definitely full of bursting flavors. If you ever get the chance to visit Stockholm, make sure that you try their local food. There's no better way to discover a city than trying out their delicacy.
In one of the most popular restaurants in the city, Och Himlen Därtill (And Heaven Beyond,) the exquisite panoramic 360-degree view of the city is enough to make your visit worthwhile. Imagine looking at a very picturesque view while feasting on sumptuous food, and sparkling wine! This is definitely something that you don't want to miss.
Both committed and impulsive shoppers are in luck in Stockholm, because most shops are open on Sundays, unlike in many other European cities. If you want to shop for premium brands, then you are definitely getting the time of your life here. You can spend some afternoons shopping if you feel like picking up new stuff.
You can also stroll in the beautiful parks if you want to get some exercise while admiring the beautiful surroundings. Long walks in the park, and picnics are fun and laid back activities that you can definitely do in Stockholm.
There are so many beautiful spots in Stockholm that travelers and wanderers need to discover and explore. You can do some research before embarking on a journey to one of Europe's finest cities. Go ahead and plan your next trip.


Dating, Love and Fitness in Denver: Have you found THE ONE?
Finding the right gym is a lot like dating.
If you've ever been on the receiving end of the popular phrase, "It's not you, it's me," you know that finding "the one" is a real challenge in the dating world. I believe the same is true with gyms- finding the right gym is a lot like dating. There's a lot of sweating and working out the relationship kinks, and yet in the end- who knows if there will be any real satisfaction?
I believe people strive to be good people. (This could just be the Yogi in me, but I truly do believe this!) However, just because they're good people, doesn't mean they're the right match for you. Everyone has their own preferences and special needs to balance in order for the relationship to work. Most fitness studios and gyms are owned and operated by good, passionate and knowledgeable people who are in the business to share their expertise and help clients get the best experience possible- keeping you active, healthy, and improving your "ASSets." No one leads a fitness format and says, "I don't really care if the clients get what they want out of their membership…let's just give them a so-so experience." No way! To be a trainer or instructor, you MUST love what you do and believe in what you do. It is impossible to successfully train people from any other perspective.
What makes a healthy relationship with your gym and trainer?
What's the key factor for long-term success? After all, a lunge is still a lunge; a crunch is still a crunch. What makes the difference? YOU! That's right, like any lasting relationship, it all starts with you and the connection you have to your own needs. It's not about the latest fitness trend or whether the gym is offering the best discount. Those reasons aren't enough to base your decision, because no matter which studio or gym you choose, they are all designed to increase health and fitness. It's about your connection to the workout, to the trainer(s), to the environment and to the community, and that the workout meets your fitness goals.
Do you know what your fitness goals are?
Jumping on to the latest fitness trend can work short term and sure, it's better than drinking a six pack on the couch; but it's not a long term solution for staying committed to your workout and enjoying it. Hell, LOVING IT!
Think about what you want. What are your personal goals, physical needs and intentions? What kind of experience are you seeking? Figure this out and connect with a gym. I'm willing to bet you will keep going and see results. You will probably even make some sacrifices to make sure your budget and schedule allows for the membership. Why? You'll feel amazing beyond the workout itself, the trendiness and even beyond the physical results. You will fall in love! Ha! There it is. See how I brought that around? CHEEZE.
Occasionally, you might seek out people that you kind of like because it's a good idea to stay connected however, people that you really enjoy, people you truly love – you will go out of your way to make time for them and those become the strongest relationships in your life. Those are the people who bring clarity, support, laughter and authentic, good times to your life.
What kind of relationship you have with your gym or studio?
I've committed years to several fitness routines throughout my life, and I've had the honor of getting certified in a wide variety of fitness formats. I'm truly a fitness junkie. I know from experience if you are seeking the best workout, it's not about what Jessica Alba or Channing Tatum are doing; it's about you.
I encourage you to find your perfect match so that you can 'settle down' and maintain a committed relationship that makes you feel amazing, inspires you, and at the same time, improves your "ASSets!" Aww! Ain't love grand?

Great post, Tricia! I can hear your voice as I'm reading the article :).
I love me some BP for the intense, motivating, results driven workout. But, I've always been curious about Pearl Street Fitness. They have a big following. I'd like to know how they feel they are different from other fitness studios and if their workout is appropriate for everyone (people with injuries, people of all ages, etc).
Thanks for the comments! I would love to check out Pearl Street Fitness. Perhaps we can go together, Allison!
Nice post Tricia. It's true – finding the right trainer takes some introspection!
