London, Dolomites, and Riviera – Sonoran News

Posted: October 11, 2019 at 4:48 pm


without comments

Irecently returned from a whirlwind week in Europe visitingcosmopolitan London, the Dolomite region of Italy, and San Remo onthe Italian Riviera. I traveled with a group of colleagues and ourtrip was focused on learning more about the destinations, the hotelswe visited, and the enriching experiences we could offer our clients.

London,England

Londonwas the first stop. Music and London go hand in hand think rockbands, symphony, theatre, opera the list goes on. This visitdefinitely had a focus on music.

TheRoyal Garden Hotel, located in fashionable Kensington adjacent toHyde Park, has hosted many in the music industry, includingcelebrities such as Sonny & Cher, Michael Jackson, Abba, TheMonkees, and Justin Bieber. Its just a few minutes walk toKensington Palace and and the Royal Albert Hall. We were thereduring PROMS (music festival) and watched a rehearsal for hip hopmusic with break dancers strutting their stuff.

Westopped at a lovely neighborhood pub, The Queens Arms, for a drinkbefore heading to see the musical, Come From Away (how Gander,Newfoundland came together on 9/11 to house and feed the airplanepassengers diverted to their city). There was not a dry eye in thehouse during this amazing performance.

Thenext day, we took the Kensington Rock Tour, taking us to the homes ofrock-n-roll legends and the opportunity to have our own photo opcrossing Abbey Road.

TheDolomites Corvara, Italy

Thefamily owned La Perla hotel in Corvara, Italy snuggled in DolomiteMountains was the next stop. If youve never been to this region,you might think that the Sound of Music was filmed here!

Thisis the perfect destination for hikers, skiers and serious cyclists.During winter in Alta Badia, skiers can enjoy 130 kilometers ofslopes with 53 lifts. When the snow is gone, its a paradise forhikers and especially for serious mountain cyclists. The July bikemarathon receives over 30,000 applicants and can accept only 9,000riders. If youre a serious cyclist, this should be on your list.

Wehiked in the mountains in the crisp mountain air to a family farm tosee how they live simply yet create delicious Ladin (localstyle of food) cuisine in their small hut (restaurant/home).

Imso delighted that I was able to visit this lesser known area of Italyand meet our gracious hosts, the Costa Family at La Perla. Thislovely property offers a tremendous value to its guests with itsfive-star accommodations, Michelin star restaurant with focus on farmto table cuisine, and a proud history in this beautiful town.

ItalianRiviera San Remo, Italy

Thelast stop was the Royal Hotel San Remo which has hosted a marquee ofroyalty and celebrity guests sincethe late 1800s. This 5-star resort is a relaxing beach retreatand wonderful base for exploring the Italian and French Rivieras.

Iloved this citys serenity. We explored the pedestrian streetswith lovely shops, including Princess Graces favorite, and spenttime in the Medieval section where locals have lived their entirelife. San Remo is great value and authentic and relaxing way to seethe Riviera.

Ifyouve been to England and Italy before and want to return, Irecommend you see them in new ways and visit less traveled regionsand tap into new and enriching experiences.

50 Florida Faves: Where to go and What to do – The Northwest Florida Daily News

Posted: at 4:48 pm


without comments

Florida may just be the best destination for a vacation in the United States.

Florida is the perfect place for a vacation, whether you are from out of town or a local. It has award-winning beaches, museums, and world-renowned theme parks.

Whether you want to fish, snorkel, swim with dolphins, check out historic architecture or relax surfside, we have gathered it all here for you.

The best part of a Florida vacation is no passport is required! So skip the TSA line and hop in your car or the Amtrak because you need to see Florida.

Your travel adventure awaits!

NORTH

What to see:

1. CEDAR KEY, Way Key

Why go? When Floridas first railroad connected Cedar Key to the rest of the U.S. East Coast, the pretty little town 50 miles southwest of Gainesville and four miles out into the Gulf of Mexico became a major supplier of seafood and timber to the Northeast.

Notable fact: Cedar Key is a cluster of islands named for their once abundant red cedar, and evidence suggests that people lived here as early as 500 BC.

2. KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITORS CENTER, Merritt Island

Why go? Because the Kennedy Space Center is where humans marshaled intellect, knowledge, and ingenuity to build a craft capable of leaving the planet to touch the stars.

Notable fact: The Vehicle Assembly Building is so big that it actually can produce its own weather. It measures 716 feet long, 518 feet wide and 525 feet tall.

3. LIGHTNER MUSEUM, St. Augustine

Why go? Where else can you see a shrunken head, a mummy and Sir Winston Churchills stuffed lion? In addition to a treasure trove of Victorian arts, the setting is fantastic: Its inside the former Henry Flaglers Alcazar Hotel, which was built in 1888 and closed in 1932 during the Great Depression. Wandering through the museum allows you to travel back to 1900, when wealthy Gilded Age tourists visited St. Augustine.

Notable fact: You can lunch at the Caf Alcazar, which used to be the hotels pool.

4. BELLAMY BRIDGE, Marianna

Why go? Built in 1914 the bridge's steel-frame spans over the Chipola River and is one of the oldest surviving bridges in Florida. It's also the site of one of the state's best-known ghost stories: The Ghost of Bellamy Bridge. Elizabeth Jane Bellamy roams the swampy grounds around the bridge, a spectral figure in a long white gown. Though the stories vary, one tale says she died as a result of burns sustained when her wedding dress caught fire after her wedding in the rose garden to Dr. Samuel C. Bellamy. The real Elizabeth is buried in an overgrown family cemetery not far from the old bridge.

Notable fact: The bridge isn't accessible by car, but the Chipola River is a popular paddling trail and a half-mile walking path leads to the bridge.

5. DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, Daytona

Why go? This venue is known by a single name, "Daytona"; thats the sign of a true icon. Whether you plan to see a big race, like the annual Coke Zero Sugar 400 or go to the track just for the tour, you wont be disappointed. The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America features race memorabilia and displays honoring all forms of motorsports, including stock cars, sports cars, motorcycles, drag racing, land speed records, power-boating and aviation.

Notable fact: Before the speedway, races were held on the beach.

Southern charm and hospitality await at the Black Dolphin Inn, a AAA Four Diamond boutique inn with rooms, each individually designed with vintage furniture, fine art, and spa baths. Wildlife love it too: Manatees, shoreline birds and pelicans, dolphins and sea turtles thrive in the mangrove-lined islands.

EAST COAST

10. JUPITER INLET LIGHTHOUSE & MUSEUM, Jupiter

Why go? It offers climbing tours of the 1860 lighthouse. Get a lesson in local history with this carefully curated museum and Hiking tours. You can even take a yoga class on the deck.

Notable fact: The range of the light the distance that the light can be seen on a ship at sea is 24 miles. To someone in an airplane, the light would be visible 40 to 50 miles away.

11. FLAGLER MUSEUM, Palm Beach

Why go? Its full of the romance and grandeur of the Gilded Age. Whitehall the museums name when it was Henry Flaglers home was built by the Standard Oil co-founder in 1902 as a wedding gift for his wife. His granddaughter, Jean Flagler Matthews, rescued the estate, which had fallen into disrepair, and established the Flagler Museum on June 5, 1959. Her herculean effort was not in vain. "National Geographic Traveler" called the museum "an absolute must-see."

Notable fact: You can climb aboard Flaglers private rail car, No. 91, in the Pavilion. When it was built in 1886, the rail car was called a "palace on wheels."

12. BLOWING ROCKS PRESERVE, Hobe Sound

Notable fact: It gets its name from its shoreline that shoots plumes of saltwater skyward when the sea is forced through holes in the limestone rocks during the incoming tide.

13. CLEWISTON INN, Clewiston

Why go? Clewiston is the "Sweetest Town in America" according to the Clewiston Chamber of Commerce. The Clewiston Inn was built in 1926 by a company that became, in 1931, the U.S. Sugar Corp. Destroyed by a fire in 1937, the inn was reopened in 1938.

Notable fact: The city bought the land where the zoo is located from the state for $100 in 1951. It was a bargain. The land, called Bacon Park, was formerly a landfill and tent camping ground which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1928.

Where to Stay

15. THE DIPLOMAT HOLLYWOOD BEACH RESORT, Hollywood

Spanning the Atlantic ocean and Intercoastal Waterway the Diplomat offers a little something for everyone. Hang out by their waterfront pools which offers complimentary towel service, cabana rentals and feast on their full-service lunch. Or hit the beach and kayak or or hop on a paddleboard. If you are traveling with kids they can make a splash and the Dip +Slide water play area. At night dine on food from one of their eight r culinary experiences helmed by celebrity chefs like Geoffrey Zakarian and Michael Schulson.

16. PLUNGE BEACH HOTEL, Hollywood

Tucked along A1A in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Plunge Beach Hotel is a quirky and understated beach retreat for lovers in search of an off-the-radar getaway. Nestled on the ocean it shuns pretenses and caters to the creative soul. The food is uncomplicated and ranges from tacos on the beach to small plates, infused cocktails and small-batch beers in its gastro pub. It evokes memories of hanging out in a great American beach town.

17. FOUR SEASONS, Palm Beach

This luxurious resort on South Ocean Boulevard offers guests cool water spritzes and chilled towels so you can stay cool while lying by the freshwater pool. The contemporary resort also offers a spa, nature inspired meals at their onsite restaurant Flories. It has amenities for kids and couples making it a great choice for a family holiday or a romantic getaway.

18. EAU PALM BEACH REORT & SPA, Manalapan

Located a little off the beaten path, guests can celebrate nuptials, have a business trip, or enjoy some R&R at the resort. Unplug and rewind by the pool, or try one of the treatments at the spa. Kids can take part in activities at the AquaNuts kids' program, or the COAST teens lounge, where they can learn how to DJ.

MIAMI AND THE KEYS

Where to go:

19. MONKEY JUNGLE, Miami

Why go? This zoological park allows visitors to interact with about 400 free-roaming primates. While on this 30-acre reserve take in one of their fun shows like the King of the Jungle. You will leave understanding how much we have in common with Gorillas. Or experience the southeast Asian Java Macaques as they wade into ponds for treats. This park allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of southern Miami-Dade County.

Notable fact: Monkey Jungle was started by Joseph DuMond in the 1930s, an animal behaviorist and former New York commercial artist. His original intention was to study the behavior of monkeys. Due to the Depression, he was unable to get the grant funding he needed. He decided to let the public in to see the monkeys and the rest is history.

20. HEMINGWAY HOUSE, Key West

Why go? See how one of Americas greatest writers lived and worked. Lured by the Keys big-game fishing, Ernest Hemingway wrote: "To Have and Have Not" (his Key West novel) and other works here. He bought the house in 1931 and lived in the Keys during some of his most productive years. But watch out for the roaming polydactyl cats! Just kidding. They are the offspring of Hemingways six-toed cats, and they still act like they own the place.

Notable fact: Hemingways second wife, Pauline, added a swimming pool, much to Hemingways dismay. Its noteworthy because it was the first residential swimming pool in the Keys.

21. SHARK VALLEY, Everglades National Park

Why go? This scenic bike loop makes a 15-mile round trip through the "river of grass." At the halfway point, visitors can climb an observation tower to get a sense of what the first settlers may have seen. Dont want to pedal? Take the tram instead. Youll likely see plenty of gators sunning themselves along the path, but dont worry. Just keep your distance.

Notable fact: There arent any hotels, but camping enthusiasts are welcome to enjoy two campgrounds: Long Pine Key near Homestead, or the Flamingo campground farther south which offers Eco Tents that include beds and linens. There are also back-country (wilderness) camping sites.

22. CORAL CASTLE, Homestead (unincorporated Miami-Dade County)

Why go? Edward Leedskalnins legacy located in Homestead, south of Miami, features 1,100 tons of Florida coral, in pieces ranging in size from 6 to 30 tons, all assembled by a 5-foot, 100-pound man. The Latvian immigrant worked in obscurity and died in 1951.

Notable fact: The 3-ton (6,000 pounds) gate can easily be opened by a child. There is a table in the shape of Florida that is geographically correct; it includes an indentation representing Lake Okeechobee which is kept filled with water.

23. VIZCAYA MUSEUM & GARDENS, Miami

Why go? Built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, the estate has hosted international leaders, including Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, former President Ronald Reagan, and King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain. The property features a main house filled with exquisite treasures, 10 acres of formal gardens and native forest. The museum hosts a variety of events, including yoga and meditation classes, wine tastings and family art-making workshops.

Notable fact: Vizcaya could be called the "house that tractors built." James Deering was an officer of the Deering Harvester Company until the business merged interests with the International Harvester Company where he became Vice President.

24. ANCIENT SPANISH MONASTERY, North Miami Beach

Why go? Its a transplant, like many Floridians. The original buildings were constructed in the 1100s near Segovia, Spain. William Randolph Hearst had the structure dismantled, stone by stone; then shipped to the U.S., where it was eventually reassembled.

Notable fact: It took more than 11,000 wooden crates to ship the structure to Miami. Due to the stock market crash, the Great Depression and World War II, Hearst never got around to reassembling. Two businessmen from Ohio bought the Monastery and had it put back together in 1952.

25. PIGEON KEY, Marathon

Why go? As headquarters for "Flaglers Folly the Railroad That Went to Sea," the five-acre island under the famous old Seven-Mile Bridge housed workers for the engineering marvel that, in 1912, connected Key West to the mainland for the first time.

Notable fact: The island was originally called Cayo Paloma because of the large flocks of white-crowned pigeons that roosted there.

26. JOHN PENNEKAMP CORAL REEF STATE PARK, Key Largo

Why go? Pennekamp and the adjoining Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary accounts for about 178 nautical square miles of coral reefs, sea-grass beds and mangrove swamps. The park is part of the National Register of Historic Places, extending three miles into the Atlantic Ocean. This is a prime birding and snorkeling destination, with scuba and glass-bottom boat tours as well as boat, kayak and paddle-board rentals.

Notable fact: Pennekamp, the first undersea park in the U.S., was named for John D. Pennekamp (1897-1978), a Miami newspaper editor whose efforts contributed to the establishment of Everglades National Park and to the preservation of what would become John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.

Where to stay:

27. CARILLON MIAMI, Miami Beach

Boasting the largest spa---70,000 square feet--- and wellness facility on the Eastern Seaboard, the Carillon offers a dedicated concierge that guides guests on a custom path to relaxation. Try a fitness, rock climbing, and/or Tequila and Mescal tasting class. At the end of an active day cool off and relax at The Strand, its oceanfront restaurant and lounge. This pet-friendly resort also offers dog walking services if needed.

28. NATIONAL HOTEL, Miami Beach

This Art Deco treasure in the heart of Miami Beach has been wowing guests since opening Christmas Eve 1939. The hotel is home to the longest infinity-edge pool in Miami Beach 205 feet. This tropical oasis is full of native plants and offers a deck thats perfect for poolside dinner or cocktails. The National also offers yoga classes, relaxing massage services and live music five nights per week when in season.

29. OCEAN KEY RESORT & SPA, Key West

Located in the heart of Old Key West, Ocean Key Resort & Spa perhaps has the most desirable view on the island. Overlooking the pristine waters where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic Ocean, the resort embodies the charm, energy, and eclectic vibe of the island. Its 100 rooms and suites, waterfront dining, access to the Liquid Pool * Bar * Lounge and spa treatments at Spa Terre are designed to fulfill your getaway plans.

30. AMARA CAY RESORT, Islamorada

Situated along the Atlantic shoreline in the "Sport-Fishing Capital of the World" lies the chic but laid-back respite of Amara Cay. Hit the beach and enjoy the gentle sway of palm trees while resting in one of their hammocks. Or cool off in their zero-entry pool before feasting on fresh seafood at Reelburgers Tiki Bar. Its the treat you deserve.

31. GATES HOTEL KEY WEST

Youll find stylish rooms for the modern traveler at this "gateway to Key West," which features a popular rum bar. The Hotel has a massive event lawn where concerts, private functions and public festivals take place. Feast on the Caribbean inspired food from the Blind Pig Food Truck which is parked on-site from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Gates is pet-friendly so no need to leave Fido at home.

CENTRAL FLORIDA

What to do:

32. CITRUS TOWER, Clermont

Why go? As one of Floridas first attractions, this 22-story tower was something so noteworthy, people drove out of their way to see it. Officially opened in 1956 and boasting a dizzying height of 226 feet, the structure towered over citrus fields, which indeed were a sight to see when heavy with fruit or when the orange blossoms bloomed in the spring. You also have a birds-eye view of beautiful lakes in the surrounding eight-county area.

Notable fact: The original plans called for the tower to be 75 feet high, but upon completion, it was instead 226 feet, equivalent to 22 stories.

33. HIGHLANDS HAMMOCK STATE PARK, Sebring

Fat Joe Responds To Claims Of Appropriating Santera Culture In "Yes" Video – Vibe

Posted: at 4:48 pm


without comments

This week includes a comeback by Lil Kim, a full-length by Wale after a year of quality EPs, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again's first project of 2019.Look below for more information on this week's New Music Friday.

Wale - Wow... That's CrazyWith the announcement of signing with Warner Bros., Wale had a string of strong EPs in 2018, showing his fans that he was back in full creative mode. In 2019 he's released several singles including the seductive "On Chill" with Jeremih, "BGM," "Love & Loyalty" with singer Mannywellz, and "Poledancer" with Megan Thee Stallion as appetizers for Wow... That's Crazy, the follow-up to his last LP Shine (2017). An early listen of some songs show Wale revisiting his specialty of songs that adore black women ("BGM," "Love And Loyalty"), chronicle relationships ("Her Fault" featuring Bryson Tiller), and open up about his personal life ("Sue Me"). Other guests on the album include Ari Lennox, Boogie, 6LACK, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Lil Durk, Pink Sweat$, Kelly Price and Jacquees.Apple Music | TIDAL

Lil Kim 9Lil Kim's last official albumThe Naked Truthdropped in 2005, right before she served a prison bid. Now she's back with her fourth studio album, 9. The title is a reference to the date of Biggie's death (March 9), the birthday of her daughter (June 9), and the original number of members in Junior M.A.F.I.A. And even though Kim has a long history behind her (as seen by her performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards this week), Kim isn't resting on her legacy: "Auto Blanco" features signature Queen Bee shit talking and clowning people who lie on Instagram, and "You Are Not Alone" sees her carrying on the legacy of her friend. "I dismantle any competition to the coalition / What BIG started, I'm bout to finish," she snarls. Other singles include the Rick Ross and Musiq Soulchild-featured "Pray For Me," and the Bubba Sparxxx-sampled "I Found You," which has guest appearances by City Girls and O.T. Genasis. Apple Music | TIDAL

Casanova Behind These ScarsCasanova has had a strong second half of 2019: "So Brooklyn" (featuring Fabolous) took off to the point of sparking a challenge that inspired other rappers to take a shot at the beat, "Coming Home" takes on romantic vibes with a chorus by Chris Brown, and released two more singles, "Stay Wit It" and "Live" featuring Giggs. The rest of Casanova's taut 10-song album, Behind These Scars, has guest appearances by Gunna, Young Thug, and Kaycyy Pluto. Apple Music | TIDAL

Youngboy Never Broke Again AI Youngboy 2Youngboy Never Broke Again (also known as NBA Youngboy) is one of the rap's most interesting figures: he doesn't get the most media coverage or radio spins, but he's one of the most streamed rap artists in the country. While legal issues have held him back from his usual prolific musical output, this week he released AI Youngboy 2, the sequel to his 2017 mixtape of the same title and his first release since 2018's Realer. The new project has 17 tracks and only two guests, Quando Rondo and NoCap, who both appear on the same track.

YK Osirus The Golden ChildYK Osirus landed on the XXL Freshman list this year, and so far his output has proven his stardom: his single "Worth It" landed him a no. 48 spot in the Billboard 200, he released "Freaky Dancer" with DaBaby in June, and last week he dropped the sexy "Ride" with Kehlani. This week sees him dropping his Def Jam debut The Golden Child, which features guest appearances by Tory Lanez and Ty Dolla $ign on a "Worth It" remix, along with guest appearances by Kehlani and Russ. Apple Music | TIDAL

Curren$y, Trademark and Young Roddy Plan Of AttackCurren$y reunited with Wiz Khalifa earlier this year for their 2009 mixtape, and now he's getting back with his Jet Life comrades Trademark and Young Roddy for their album Plan of Attack. Apple Music | TIDAL

Ne-Yo Another Kind of ChristmasR&B/pop star Ne-Yo is getting ready for the holiday season with the release of Another Kind of Christmas, the first holiday album in his decorated career. He reimagines several Christmas classics, including "Someday At Christmas" (originally performed by Stevie Wonder) and Marvin Gaye's "I Want To Come Home For Christmas," along with five new original songs. Apple Music | TIDAL

Wiz Khalifa "I Can't Stay"Since releasing his 2009 mixtape with Curren$y in February, Wiz Khalifa has steadily been dropping several loosies as the year has went on with the likes of Alchemist, YG, and 24hrs, among others. The latest is the atmospheric, relaxing "I Can't Stay." Wiz has had a great couple months musically, and we're on board for as long as he'll have us.

French Montana featuring Juicy J, Logic, A$AP Rocky "Twisted"As the days approach for French Montana's album Montana, he's been dropping multiple singles with huge star power: "Suicide Doors" with Gunna, and "Writing On The Wall" with Cardi B and Post Malone. This week he comes with perhaps the most unexpected combination of artists yet: Juicy J, Logic, and A$AP Rocky, all uniting for a club anthem called "Twisted." Apple Music | TIDAL

Joji & Jackson Wang featuring Swae Lee and Major Lazer "Walking""Walking" appears on the new album Head In The Clouds II by 88rising, a crew/company that has earned a reputation for hosting festivals and world tours while breaking Asian and Asian American crossover artists. On this single, Joji and Jackson Wang join Swae Lee and Major Lazer for a mellow, soothing number that arranges all of their vocals seamlessly. The rest of Head In The Clouds II, according to a press release, "the album spans six countries (United States, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and China) yet creates a cohesive sound that blends elements of vintage R&B, hip-hop, disco, and forward-thinking pop."

Tiana Major 9 and EarthGang "Collide"Lena Waithe's upcoming film Queen and Slim is one of the most anticipated of the year, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith as a couple who unexpectedly kill a police officer after being pulled over. The first single from the film's soundtrack is "Collide," by EarthGang and Tiana Major 9. The rest of the soundtrack will feature songs by the likes of Ms. Lauryn Hill, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, Vince Staples, and Coast Contra featuring BJ The Chicago Kid and Syd, along with previously released songs from the likes of Roy Ayers, Bilal, and Mike Jones.

Hit-Boy and Saweetie "No L's"Hit-Boy and Saweetie's "No L's" was originally heard on Madden 20, but now the song has a video, which showcases Saweetie living lavishly as the main attraction while Hit-Boy celebrates on the outskirts.

Gucci Mane featuring Lil Baby "Tootsies"Gucci Mane's Woptober continues with "Tootsies," a bouncy new record with Lil Baby. Woptober II drops next week. Apple Music | TIDAL

T.I. "Sabotage"T.I. has kept busy with his Expeditiously podcast and his role on Netflix's new show Rhythm and Flow, but his pen still does work and the new song "Sabotage" is proof of that, with his flow still sounding sharp. Apple Music | TIDAL

Pusha T "Puppets (Succession Remix)"HBO's Succession is becoming a runaway hit in its second season, but one of the main attractions is composer Nicolas Britell's haunting, piano-laden theme song. Fans have been fiending for an artist to remix it, and Pusha T delivered with "Puppets," released this week. Such dark production is the perfect fit for Push's grim, rugged lyrics. Apple Music | TIDAL

Homeboy Sandman "Lookout (feat. Quelle Chris, Your Old Droog)"Homeboy Sandman's upcoming album Dusty is scheduled for an Oct. 18 release date with Mello Music Group, and "Lookout" features him barring up with Quelle Chris and Your Old Droog over what sounds like a quirky western guitar sample by producer Mono El Stereo.

Middle Tennessean wows judges on ‘The Voice’ – NewsChannel5.com

Posted: October 2, 2019 at 4:44 am


without comments

(WTVF) A 25-year-old native Tennessean wowed the judges of "The Voice" with his rendition of "Just My Imagination" by The Temptations during the show's September 30 episode.

Within seconds of beginning blind audition, judges Blake Shelton, John Legend and Gwen Stefani hit their buzzers for their chance to be Calvin Lockett's coach. Ultimately, Lockett chose to join Stefani's team.

Lockett began singing at the church where both of his parents are pastors, Christ The Healer Church in Clarksville. His parents were cheering him on from the stageside during the audition.

He first became interested in pursuing music when he sang his first solo at the age of 13.

The former Austin Peay student now lives in Durham, North Carolina and hopes to jumpstart his music career on "The Voice." Lockett said the show would help him expand his reach beyond singing in the church.

"Winning 'The Voice' would mean a lot, it would mean a lot to my family," Lockett said after his audition. "For my family and back home, it would mean a lot."

The judges called Lockett's performance relaxing and masterful. Legend and Shelton agreed they each haven't heard someone sound like him before.

Lockett told judge Kelly Clarkson he's interested in making singer-songwriter R&B music.

5 Changes that You Need To Make in Your Lifestyle for a Good Sleep – CLNS Media

Posted: at 4:44 am


without comments

There are a few things as important as a good nights rest. Anyone can relate to feeling from the morning after having a good sleep; its usually a light, ecstatic and peaceful one. Its also one thats about 7-9hrs long.

However, due to our busy schedules and hectic lifestyles as humans in the 21st century, we barely get any sleep at all. Poor sleep is a major cause of stress and weight gain, and puts out at the risk of contracting illnesses. It can also cause a loss of appetite.

In contrast, when you get a good nights sleep, youll find your concentration heighten as you get even more productivity. It also improves athletic performance.

However, it may be hard to find a good sleep on a steady after several years of going without it. So is there something you need to do to find good sleep?

Yes! With few changes in your lifestyle choices, you can begin to experience a much deeper sleep.

Mild to intense workouts are great at battling insomnia and restless leg syndrome. Depending on your daily schedule and body weight, you can engage in as many exercises as you can during the week, and you can choose to either stick to a routine or not.

Some workouts that are recommended include cardio workouts such as running, swimming, and cycling. Engaging in sporting activities that increase the heartbeat rate is very good for the body. Strength conditioning workouts (like weightlifting) are also great for relaxing the body.

A lot of people feel sedated after a little weightlifting in the evening time followed by a warm shower. This however depends on your personal experience; you may feel a burst of adrenaline after working out and it may lead to insomnia which is not what you want.

Practicing yoga is also good for stretching the body, which helps it to relax better. If you already practice yoga, try being more present with it when next youre engaged in it. This eases the mind of endless thinking and calms the body.

The bedroom is a major factor that determines the quality of your nights rest. This has a lot to do with setup and lighting of the room in which you sleep. If youre like most people, youll prefer sleeping with the lights off and the curtain drapes down. However, a creative way of sleeping with lesser lighting is the use of blue or UV lighting. Sleep quality is known to improve with lower lighting.

The temperature of the bedroom also plays a part in getting better sleep. Just a few degrees lower than the temperature of a cool day is just fine for most people. You can slowly adjust to what feels just right for you.

For some people, listening to lovely music helps them to achieve a deeper sleep. Theres no harm in trying to find out whether it works for you too. As regards noise, you may be prone to experience sleep disorders if you live in neighborhoods with clubs that run all night.

It doesnt really occur to people but what you feed your body plays an important role in the grade of sleep you get. You can make changes to your sleep quality by tweaking a few things in your diet to add ingredients with the appropriate characteristics. Some ingredients (like almonds) are rich in melatonin, a hormone that is in charge of the sleep-cycle. Other food items to add to your grocery shopping list for better sleep quality include kiwi, tart cherry juice, seafood, walnuts, and teas like passionflower tea and chamomile tea.

Also you may want to start paying attention to the time you have your meals, most importantly your dinner. Eating at late hours can adversely affect your bodys secretion of melatonin hence the kind of sleep you get. It can also lead to excess weight gain.

Furthermore, minimize your alcohol intake. If possible reduce it to zero. More importantly, do not take alcohol before going to bed. It can aggravate sleep disorders and cause snoring.

Have you ever wondered why it felt more comfortable the last time you slept in a hotel than in your own bed? Its precisely because that they pick out only soft and fluffy mattresses. Regardless of whether you are a back, side or stomach sleeper, a comfortable bed is going to give you a good nights rest and one that entails waking up without any form of pain.

Sleeping on a comfortable bed improves your sleep quality and relieves back pain. The Eight Sleep Jupiter+9(read review) bed is a really cool and comfy mattress. It has a smart system that can connect to your smartphone, track your sleep schedule and even warm up any chosen side of the bed.

It could be a hot shower just before going to bed, or a brisk walk in the cool breeze of the evening. It could even be taking a walk in the park with your loved ones, just do anything that helps you stay relaxed and present.

You could try listening to music that helps you relax, or read a really interesting book/novel. Meditating for about 15 minutes everyday can also bring calm to your body. So, if it works for you, totally go for it. In truth, the more the body experiences calmness while youre awake, the more itll learn to relax when youre asleep.

In addition to that, you can schedule for a massage from time to time. Massages are great for loosening tense muscles, especially around your neck and back. This helps the body to relax more during sleep.

If you think you can afford that personal vacation youve always wanted to go on, then you should do that. A trip away from the busy and crowded life you may be used to is one of the best ways to relax.

With these interesting tips, you can make changes to your lifestyle to get more restful sleep. Some other things you can do to enjoy better sleep include taking melatonin supplements and sticking to a sleeping schedule. If you feel that you need to consult a doctor before making these decisions, then feel free to do so.

7 ways Ikea lighting can revolutionise your bedroom revamps – Real Homes

Posted: at 4:44 am


without comments

Last night we dreamt about Ikea lighting. It's not that odd: Realhomes.com took at trip to Ikea this week and a decent amount of time was spent marveling at the latest lighting innovations (more on that tomorrow).

Anyway, back to the lighting. There was a massive range of new buys we'd not seen in the flesh. More pleasing still was the amount of smart lighting on sale. And we mean techy smart, as well as just, well, smart.

And while for some smart lighting might be a turn off (no pun intended), if it's low tech enough that your gran can embrace it, it's really worth having in your bedroom. The great news? Your bedroom revamp doesn't need to be dramatic to benefit from most of these (quite seriously) life-improving lighting solutions.

So, whether youre thinking new lighting as a working parent, for a uni student or for an excitable little one, keep scrolling...

For more bedroom lighting ideas, see our design gallery.

Kids up in the night unsettled by the dark? Other half crashing into furniture? Forever stubbing your toe as you stumble into bed long after your partner has gone to bed? This clever idea will put paid to all that: a remote controlled light strip fixed under the bed (above). Turn it on as you come into the room; it won't disturb your partner/kids/the dog but it will light your way to bed. Genius.

(Image credit: Ikea)

Ikea has both battery and mains-run light strips; and you'll need to use the TRDFRI Remote control, 15 to control it. This clever little gadget (above) can remote control up to 10 Ikea LED light bulbs, light panels or light doors at a time. And when we say 'control', we mean dim, switch on and off, choose colours and change light from warm to cold. You can even use the TRDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart app to create groups of lights to control in different ways. You can even use it to control lights inside a dark wardrobe. Count us in.

Bedroom lighting is the key to relaxation. After a hard day, going back to a bedroom, dimly lit with an emerald hue can't fail to relax you. This Tokabo table lamp is a moody piece perfect for the bedroom you want to turn into a restful haven.

What else about it will aid restful calm? The price: it's only 8.

Hanging pendant lights in a cluster over dining tables has been a thing for a while. Now, so is hanging them over a bed to create that 'look at me!' vibe you really want in a bedroom. It's a brilliant ruse in both traditional and contemporary bedrooms, and it needn't cost a fortune: these SOLLEFTE lamp shades are just 5 each.

(Image credit: Ikea)

Lets be honest, we are pretty much never going to get tired of fairy lights, are we? But that doesnt mean we cant revamp the classic sparkling beauties and opt for a fluffy, scrunchy, floral alternative. The cute white netting on Ikeas new fairy lights softens the glow of the LED and makes them the ideal bedroom lighting option.

One (of the many) wonderful things about fairy lights is their versatility when styling them. Drape them over your mirror, on the railings of your bed, or embrace the boho vibe and create a living wall, with plants or polaroids. LIVSR LED lighting chain with 24 lights, tulle white, 12.

(Image credit: Ikea)

If you're looking for total relaxation, an escape from the real (and virtual) world, where you can get lost in a book and sleep and unwind, these are definitely the lights for you. There's no denying that candles are a timeless classic when it comes to warm light. However, there's also little denying the fact that there are a few health and safety issues there. That's why the led block candle is our holy grail, creating a tranquil and warm ambience and giving a classic look to your bedroom.

We love the Godaftom LED block candle in/out is just 7 for a set of two.

So, you've noticed the price tag and are asking yourself, how could Ikea betray us like that? But, not so fast, this is a lamp and speaker in one. If you're somebody who likes to drift off with your favourite relaxing music lulling in the background, it's your lucky day.

The aesthetic is simple and blends well into any interior, meaning that your technology needn't be an eyesore. It's also ideal for when space is at a premium.SYMFONISK Table lamp with WiFi speaker, 150. Alternatively, opt for a speaker pillow (we've just compiled a fab guide).

We love a bedroom hack. This one (above) is made by creating a lit DIY bedside table with two Mosslanda picture ledges and a Molgan light. Take look at our step by step to learn how to make it yourself it only costs a tenner!

Brainlys Tips to Conquer the Top 5 Homework Distractions of 2019 – Patch.com

Posted: at 4:44 am


without comments

When it comes to homework, teachers have heard every excuse in the book, and for good reason; it's hard for students to focus on homework when there's so much of it to do.

Students are devoting hours each evening to their take-home assignments, some say to the tune of 17.5 hours per week.

In a survey of 1,000 Brainly users comprised of students in middle and high school, 70% said they have trouble focusing on their homework.

Brainly, the world's largest online learning community, asked respondents to pick any of the following five options that distract them from their homework at least once a week. Here are the results:

Changing habits like these takes repetition and dedication. Luckily, there are five actionable habits students can use to make homework more focused, more efficient, and eventually more successful. They can be easily remembered with this simple acronym:

Nearly half of the respondents cited environment-related options as a diversion from homework. This included 46% of middle-school students choosing video games, 51% of high-schoolers selecting social media, and 39% overall picking a noisy home environment.

It's essential to make after-school workspaces as clean, quiet, and distraction-free as possible. Clean means organized and clear of disturbing clutter. Check the writing surface and surrounding area. How much more likely would a student be to grab a device sitting at arm's reach than if it's put away?

Another crucial aspect of this process is noise. Separation from attention-grabbing sounds, like TVs and chatty family members, keeps a student's mind following the pages their eyes are seeing. Another good tip is to put phones on silent (not vibrate) and place it face down, far away from the desk. This ensures students aren't encouraged to check it habitually and can focus on the task at hand.

Try and keep the designated homework space as consistent as possible. Stick with a repetitive location whenever possible, which will allow a student's brain to put on its thinking cap more quickly. And just say "no" to homework in bed!

Although necessary for college resumes, extracurricular activities proved to be detrimental to homework productivity for 24.5% of respondents. Jobs and work affected 12% of middle school students, as opposed to 25% of high school students. Of the users Brainly surveyed, those in middle school said they have more time to finish their homework. 40% said "always/yes," as opposed to 28% of high school students. Only 6% said "rarely/no," as compared to 13% of highschoolers.

Balance is critical to keeping a sane, realistic after-school schedule. If students are overloaded with extracurricular activities, they'll struggle to find time for everything else. At the same time, if they spend too much time on homework they'll start to lose quality in their answers. If students have activities after work, they should make to also schedule in homework time. Furthermore, if a student is finding it hard to fit all their homework into their schedule, it might be time to reconsider chosen activities. The key to prioritizing success is to plan.

A problem set or multi-page assignment can look insurmountable, especially if someone's not feeling totally comfortable with the material from class. It's easy to get lost in preparation. Don't waste time trying to understand everything; get hands-on and hit problems one issue at a time.

Something started is one step closer to being finished! Break the questions down into what is already known, and use those parts to work towards the answer. Taking a step towards the solution makes a person more invested in getting there. If a snag is hit while trying to answer the problem or question, that's a great time to go back into the concepts to try and find the specific resource. Students can use a glossary, textbook, or notes from class for a reminder of what was taught.

As long as they're scheduled and not abused, taking breaks can actually help a student finish their homework! A quick pause can help to rejuvenate some of that motivation that got them started.

If stress sets in, take the opportunity for a quick break. Students can close their eyes and take a few deep breaths. If it helps, put on some relaxing music. Another way to take a proactive break is to do something active. Stand up and stretch to get more oxygen flowing to the brain. If this is a more extended break, do some quick physical exercises or walk around outside for a few minutes. Everyone gets through their work a lot faster when their minds are feeling alert!

Even a regulated screen break can help students refocus. Taking a minute to check newsfeeds, respond to messages, or play a quick game can enable the brain to decompress and ready itself for the challenge ahead. Be careful to limit these breaks so as not to waste time. To start, keep it at 10 to 15 minutes and try to accomplish at least an hour of work before taking another one.

Whether it's a tough question or just a seemingly endless assignment, it's easy just to give up. But, when a student is equipped with everything they need and keeps their focus forward, they can get through it.

Start by getting equipped with everything needed. Finish by keeping the focus forward and knowing when to move on. Before starting, gather everything that can help with the homework. Textbooks, print-outs, and websites all qualify. This way, when a student gets stuck, they've got everything that could help right in front of them. If resources have ran out, it's best for the student to take their best guess, make a note, and move on.

These are all critical steps to success. Use what is known to make the best possible educated guess, and remember to ask a teacher or mentor about it the next day. And move on quickly, so the brain stays motivated to attack what's next.

A Day in the Life: Greenkeeper Pat Fadden – Mayo News

CUTTING EDGE Pat Fadden with one of his mowers at Westport Golf Club.Pic: Michael McLaughlin

NORMALLY I would start work at 7am, but the week before the Cups and Shields national finals recently it was 5.30am or 6am and wed work straight through to 3pm.We get the hole changing and pin positioning out of the way first, before cutting the greens, which needs to be done before the golfers go out, but the longer you can leave that the better, as they grow very fast.If you cut the greens at 6am, theyll have a half days growth by 6pm, and that could be quite a lot because its such a fine cut. We cut them seven days a week. We also double cut the fairways leading up to the championship.On other weeks, my mornings usually start with mechanical work on all our machinery. We have so much that theres always something breaking down. Other morning work would include checking the course to see what needs to be done, drainage work, raking bunkers and general repair work. Westport Golf Course is 270 acres of parkland course, so its very growthy compared to a links course. Weve a team of seven; five full-time and two lads for the summer. The weather is everything for us. Its an uphill battle when its raining because the course always needs to be cut and maintained. Bad weather means you sometimes have to do jobs twice. I first started as a greenskeeper in Westport Golf Course in 1974 and have been there since. It took ten years to receive your greenskeeper certificate back then. The whole job has changed an awful lot now. When we started back then, we were tipping out sand and soil mix on the greens by shovel and trailer. All cutting machines were pedestrian too - there was no such thing as a ride-on mower!Back then it took four men over four hours to cut the 18 greens, where as now, one person can do it in less than three. Standards back then were not as high as they are now though. Ive seen over the years the standard were able to have the course at. Its all down to money and having a good committee like we have at the moment. They give you what you need in terms of machinery, and when you have the committee and staff pulling together, it makes a huge difference. I really enjoy the outdoor work. I could never see myself working inside. What you see at 7am on a nice morning in Westport Golf Course is just beautiful scenery; you couldnt find a nicer place in the world. Mind you, you dont get an awful lot of beautiful mornings, but when you do it makes up for the bad ones. I played golf myself for a few years, but I found it hard to go back on the course when youre finished a hard days work. At the time I was playing, I was also working seven days a week so it was hard to find time in the evenings and weekends. I always enjoyed it and meant to go back, but Im also doing a bit of farming and landscaping and I dont have much time other than that. One of my main hobbies is playing music and I have done it in the pubs all my life. Myself and a friend, Mick McLoughlin, used to do it together but not anymore. I play the banjo and guitar and it was all session stuff in the pubs. It was very enjoyable and I loved it, but we always said that if it ever became work then we would pack it up, and in the end it did, because the atmosphere in the pubs changed through the years. One of the more satisfying parts of my job is when you get nice comments about the course from complete strangers. They might come up to you, tourists, and tell you that theyve played such and such a course recently, some of which would be Irish Open courses, and you might hear that they think Westport is actually better. There was a great feeling in the club when Westport won the Junior Cup recently. It very easily could happen that a club was hosting the tournament and might not have a team in it, so to win it in your home course meant a lot. Gar Golden [who passed away on September 20] was heavily involved in the club for years and I dealt with him a lot. He was gentleman to deal with at all times and no doubt he would have loved to have been part of it.

In conversation with Ger Flanagan

FactfileName: Pat FaddenFrom: Carrowholly, WestportOccupation: Head Greenskeeper at Westport Golf Club

Quickfire questions

Tell me something about yourself we dont know?I love fishing. I have a boat and I like to bring it out on Clew Bay. Unfortunately I dont get enough time to do as much as I would like.

Favourite place in the world?Probably Westport. Ive been in a lot of places and theyre lovely to visit, but overall, I dont think you will improve on Westport.

What do you miss most about being a child?I had a good childhood. I cant say I particularly miss anything, apart from the way of life and the pace of it. It was a lot easier and more relaxing when times were slower, but now, the more technology that comes in, the less time we have to do other things.

Whats the best advice you were ever given?As regards work, I remember we heard one time that someone was complaining about the course. I remember saying to the late John Hanlon that theres no thanks for the work we do, and he said: If youre looking for thanks, you will never get it. It stuck with me.

Who was your first hero?A lot of mine would be in music. I was never into big sporting heroes. Music was my thing. I remember seeing Roy Orbison when he was huge in the Starlight in Westport, people often cant believe that. It was amazing to see at the time.

Most famous person you ever met?I was very friendly with Matt Molloy and his late wife, Geraldine, so I met a lot of musicians through them in the bar. The favourite I met was John Prine. I played a few songs with him. Real down to earth, genuine gentleman. For a man who wrote so many songs for so many famous people, all he wanted to do was sit down and hear me singing something. He was very genuine.

Three things always in fridge?Red meat usually Im afraid, cheese and probably fish of some kind.

What makes you nervous?I dont tend to get too nervous if I can help it. I dont think I get nerves with anything to do with work. I just like to take life as it comes. I try not to worry about things; if they dont work out, there is a reason.

Whats your most prized possession?If I was to save something if everything else was going, it would be my guitar.

If money was no object what would you do?I always loved to travel. It was great to come home, but I love seeing other places; how the ordinary way of live music and golf courses is done in other places. One of my favourite places is New Orleans.
