SANDY DHUYVETTER (born SANDRA JO DHUYVETTER on August 10, 1960 in Upland, California) is an American travel media personality, author and travel industry media specialist. Sandy is also known as Momma Fett, from Star Wars.

She is best known as the creator, executive producer and host of the San Diego-based TravelTalkRADIO, a live talk radio program that airs every Sunday and focuses on tourism and the travel industry worldwide. The program is heard via conventional radio and online in more than 157 countries.

Career

Artist/Entrepreneur

Sandy received a degree in Art/illustration and taught Art in Pico Rivera, near Los Angeles for 4 years. She then relocated to San Francisco where she started her art career. Most people know Joe Johnston, either through his work on Star Wars or his later work as a director of his own movies. In comparison, few people know Sandy Dhuyvetter’s relationship to Boba Fett, but her contributions to the iconic bounty hunter are just as significant and perhaps even more well-known! If Joe Johnston is Boba Fett’s “dad” (No Jango Fett jokes, please), then Sandy is surely “Momma Fett”. [1]

Radio

Dhuyvetter started her radio program in August 2001 as an online program after her media company went public. In December 2001, TravelTalkRADIO added conventional radio stations to its distribution. Today, TravelTalkRADIO and BusinessTravelRADIO are heard in 185 countries. The show combines “regional, national and international travel topics, up-to-date travel news and interviews with travel experts,” according to an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune.[2]

In December 2001, Dhuyvetter debuted on television on KNBC in Los Angeles during the midday news programming. She continued her work on NBC for 18 months and then moved to local CNN, where Dhuyvetter continued to bring the good news of travel to TV viewers. She called her TravelTalkRADIO program one of the first Internet radio shows.[3]

In 2006, TravelTalkRADIO was awarded with the Tanzania Tourist Board's Media Award at the 31st African Travel Association's (ATA) International Congress in Ghana.[4] In 2007, Chinese radio station Voice of Jinling Radio honored Dhuyvetter for her work in co-producing a program dedicated to Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The program was jointly produced in China and called “Sandy and Dr. Sun Yat-sen”. It was awarded first prize for the 2006 Final Radio Report Contest at Jiangsu Radio Station.

Today, TravelTalkRADIO can be heard on conventional radio in the United States, China and the United Kingdom, via satellite in the Western Hemisphere, South America, North America and the Pacific Rim, and online worldwide.[5]

TravelTalkMEDIA, an affiliate of TravelTalkRADIO, encompasses the radio, television and web presence of the company, which is based in Encinitas, California.

Web

Dhuyvetter, who has a degree in illustration and design from Arizona State University, became involved in web design and computer graphics in the early 1980s. In 1985 she launched the Electronic Pen, creating computer graphics for corporate clients. With the advent of the Internet, Dhuyvetter's company began developing corporate websites, and eventually merged with another online business to form CommerceWave.[6]

Writing

Dhuyvetter is the illustrator of the children's book _Wiggle-Butts and Up-Faces_, which is recommended by the National Swim School Association.[7]

Accomplishments

Dhuyvetter serves on the Department of Homeland Security's Secure Borders and Open Doors Advisory Committee[8] and as a member of the board of advisors for Christelijke Hogeschool Noord (CHN) University's Department of Media and Entertainment Management.[9] CHN University is headquartered in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

It is already late, soon the street lamps will go out.
The night is dark, the sky cloudy, my eyes need some time to adjust to the darkness.
I keep walking to the meadow behind my house, it is luckily not far away.
Once again I'm home, in this friendly place that I cannot forget or give up.
I open the beer I brought with me and take a small sip. I hoped to see the stars tonight, but it is too cloudy for it, only a few gaze upon me.

The night is not as warm as in the hottest months, I am even freezing a bit but I don't really mind.
I enjoy how the calm wind touches the skin and the hair of my arms, how the wind blows gently through my hair.
I look at the forest, at the meadow that lies before it, whose grass is still quite high for the current time.
The crickets chirr through the scenery, but you can hear nothing disruptive besides them, no cars, no people, no business and no problems.

Now I can hear, how the wind slowly blows through the grass, rendering it alive, like it wanted to tell me something.
My senses grow more cautious, and I take up the smell of the forest. I can smell the wood, the grass, even some flowers; it almost seems like the forest tries to lure me into his pitch black arms.
As I watch the tall grass, feel the wind on my skin and smell the forest, I imagine how it would be.
How it would be, to just take a step into that wild meadow. One step, and then another. And just keep walking, into the unknown, into the wild, into that force that keeps calling me.
Leaving the world, my current world, behind me, and stepping into my real world, the place where we all come from and that we deny every single day.

How it would be to leave everything behind, the technology, the relationships and the societies, leaving everything behind to just leave into this grass meadow and into the forest.
The idea of it somehow felt like coming home, from a long journey, from an exhausting path and finally arriving to a place that your heart ever strived for.

Suddenly I hear two drunk people at the nearby street slendering home, in the silent night you could hear them miles away.
I don't mind them, they have their little world, and I have mine, at least for this very moment.
As they pass by I look at the sky again, and suddenly the clouds also pass by and endow me a view of the stars.
It looks very impressive how the dark clouds give way for the bright stars, much like a curtain lifted for the beginning of a play.

As I gaze upon the endless space that lies out there, the thousands and billions of possibilities out there, I come out of my trance-like state, back to my world, the world I tried to left for just a few minutes.
And I figure out that I can't leave this world, not yet. I have yet things todo in this world, things that others could possibly not do, things that are neccesary, even if they are small.
Because they matter, because I matter and this world needs me. I grap my beer and turn the scenery my back, heading home.

One day I will return, and one day, when this world no longer needs me, I will come home, to the place where I really belong.

It was the middle of the night when I heard continuous tapping. Slightly, I opened my eyes to see a light in the hallway and noticed that there was a lack of warmth by the side of my bed. My wife, Annie must’ve have been tapping, so I went downstairs to figure the situation out. My eyes were still adjusting to the dim light, but I quickly noticed a grisly shadow. It was an unfamiliar figure, it was a bitter looking intruder, and next to him was my wife, cold on the floor. Then the intruder’s black eyes coldly shot mine, and with his rough hands, he shot me.

A gleam of light shines in my eyes and I quickly rise up. I panic, it seems as though I’ve been in deep slumber for a long time. As I rise up, I pulled on something which went into my skin; it was an IV needle which I detached. Unclear to this situation, I look at my surroundings. My IV bag is completely empty, the Hospital is filled with complete silence and the room is faint. My situation doesn’t seem to make sense, as it seems nothing is operating and no one is working. Quickly, the stood up on my feet but felt as though I would fall a second later, but with enough effort I reached the bathroom. In the view of the dark room, I can see myself through the filthy mirror. It reflected an image of a ghostly pale man with a beard. I could not conclude anything just yet, and needed more information about my situation. I barely manage to jog through the hospital’s mysterious hallway with the only sound being my footsteps and my breath. Why was no one here to care for me? Why was I alone? I quickly grew frustrated as my questions only developed.

I opened the door at the exit and felt an eerie gust of wind blow at my face. The polluted smell of dead bodies came rushing through my nose, yet I saw no dead bodies. In fact I didn’t see a body in sight, dead or alive. Everything was put at a complete stop. Traffic of cars was abandoned in the middle of streets and a row of stores went unmanaged. Yet I was more abandoned than any car or store as I was completely alone without another human. The cars were kept together by road and stores merged by shared walls. Suddenly, I felt a harsh pressure hit my chest and fell to the ground without much effort.

I opened my eyes to look at the empty world. Then, I saw someone. Someone was alive in this desolated place, and she was coming towards me. Once we met, she told me her name was Anne; she looked familiar but seemed to be in dangerous condition. The massive amount of lipstick on her mouth contrasted with paleness. After an aggressive set of dry coughs, I managed to agree to travel with her.

Rough Draft is Rough. Can anyone help give me some pointers or critiques?

title: Alone, Awake, Helpless

question: What's the narrator's wife's name?

answer: Annie

question: where does the narrator wake up?

answer: In the hospital.

question: who does the narrator meet?

answer: Anne

question: What is the narrator's fate?

answer: At the beginning of the story, the narrator and their wife are shot by an intruder.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer:

In a different state and/or time, the narrator awakens completely alone in an entire hospital that reeks of death but has no visible bodies. The narrator wander outside and encounters a singular human, who is in a bad physical state. That person is Anne, and the two become traveling partners.

When Mac Miller returns on Wednesday with the second season of "Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family" on MTV2, fans will see the cast that they all know and love. Jimmy, Q, Dave, and DJ Clockwork are back as well as some new editions to the crew. During season 2, fans will introduced to Ralphie and Lauren, Mac's adorable dogs.

"That's a great episode, seeing little Ralphie come through, him and his sister Lauren, and they come and have a great time," Mac told MTV News when we interviewed him in New York City on July 13. "Ralphie's a star; he was born in the camera. Literally I took from the shelter and brought him back to the crib and there were cameras waiting for him."

Unfortunately, Mac and Ralphie, are no longer together. During our interview the _Watching Movies_ rapper made a sad revelation. "In real life, he recently got dog-napped actually," Miller said somberly.

On July 14 Mac posted a "missing" sign to Instagram hoping to find his poodle terrier mix. "Lauren is still out here and Ralph is still alive with some crazy lady who thinks she can take care of my dog better than me," he said. "As a man, for my son, I went back to a meeting and came back and homey was gone. I can start knocking down doors, but it's like someone loves him and if he comes back, he'll come back."

DON’T MISS THE PREMIERE OF “MAC MILLER AND THE MOST DOPE FAMILY” JULY 23 AT 11:30/10:30C ON MTV2!

question: Is Ralphie still alive?

answer:
While it is possible that Ralphie was dognapped by someone with hostile motives towards the dog, the overall narrative presented in the article shows that the dog has not done anything to merit anyone's hate.

As such, it is likely that Ralphie was taken by someone who wants to own Ralphie, and with this motive, it would makes sense for the dognapper to keep Ralphie alive.

title: Coller Capital

question: What is the key factor behind Coller Capital's securing its first notable deal?

answer: Coller Capital is a large global investor in the private equity secondary market. Its first deal was from Shell US Pension Trust worth $265million. It was a deal that raised eyebrows because of Coller Capital's small size relative to the investment. However, it was revealed that Jeremy Coller (Coller Capital's founder) bet his entire fortune to secure that deal. Since then, the firm has raised $21 billion across seven funds.

The goddess Kali, the terrible and cruel to the demons and evil doers, is worshiped with blood sacrifice in most parts of India, in Goa however the fierce invocation of the deity was never popular.[3] As per the regional myths after killing the demons Sumbha and Nisumbha, the deity's anger was soothed and the deity manifested herself in a peaceful (_Shanta_), gentle (_Soumya_) form, which is very popular in Goa.[4]

The deity is four armed, shows each hand carrying variously a sword(_Khadga_), a trident (_trishul_), a Shield(_Khetaka_) and a skull bowl (_Kapala_), her mount lion, can be seen at her feet.[7]

Other affiliated deities

A Buddhist idol of _Shakyamuni_ is found in the temple, as a remnant of the Buddhist sect that prevailed in Goa till the early 12th century AD.[8]

The temple architecture

The temple is a masterpiece of Goan temple architecture, with a huge hall for public gatherings during festivals and meetings (_Sabhamantapa_ a stage and a _Nagarkhana_ which is above the stage is used to play drums and shehnai during specific times of the day and during specific rituals), the main hall inside the temple (_Chowk_), path for circumambulation (_Sarwali_) and Sanctum sanctorum(_Garbhakud_ or _Garbhagruha_), with a huge golden Kalasha. Temple is surrounded by Agrashalas, two beautiful gates (_Praveshdwara_s) and a magnificent lamp tower (_Deepastambha_) is eye-catching.[9][10]

The devotees and patrons of the temple

The deity is believed to be patron deity of above said Gomantak Daivadnya Brahmin community of Goa . The patrons of the temples or the Mahajans are divided into four groups:_Sashtikar_,_Bardeskar_,_Tiswadkar_,_Antrujkar_.[11]

EDNOR GARDENS-LAKESIDE is a large community in northeast Baltimore, Maryland. It is bounded by 33rd Street to the south, Hillen Road to the east, Ellerslie Avenue to the west, and Argonne Drive, The Alameda, Loch Raven Boulevard, and Roundhill Road to the north. Ednor Gardens was part of a large planned community that was built out from the 1920s through the 1950s by Edward Gallagher, one of Baltimore's most prolific homebuilders at the time. It is notable among its neighbors for the quality of the homes and extensive landscaping. Until it was torn down in 2002, Memorial Stadium (home to the Baltimore Colts and Ravens football teams and Orioles baseball team) was located in Ednor Gardens-Lakeside.

History

The entire Ednor Gardens-Lakeside community is located on the former estate of General Samuel Smith, who fought in the Revolutionary War. The property was later transferred to the Garrett family, who owned the B&O Railroad and were one of Baltimore's most powerful families in the 19th century. When Robert Garrett died in 1896, he ceded 1,400 acres of the property to his widow, Mary Garrett. In 1923, Mary Garrett (who had since remarried) sold a 49-acre parcel to Edward Gallagher, a prominent real estate developer, for $146,299. Other transactions occurred until Gallagher controlled much more land. Gallagher named his new development Ednor Gardens, for his two sons, Edward and Norman, by taking the first few letters of their names.[1]

Gallagher set out to build rowhomes unlike anything that had been built in Baltimore to date. He was inspired by the stately English-style mansions in nearby Guilford and Roland Park, but wanted to create a more affordable option. The solution was to incorporate the unique styling into a rowhouse. The first homes rose on East 36th Street in 1925. Unlike many other housing developments at the time, there was no streetcar access to Ednor Gardens, so Gallagher built rear-access garages into every house, correctly predicting the coming of the Automobile Age. The unique houses were popular and sold quickly, leading other prominent developers to copy the English style in new projects around the city.

Development of Ednor Gardens-Lakeside continued through the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Newer rowhouses, which were built north and east of the original Ednor Gardens development, were constructed of brick and lacked the decorative qualities of English-style homes nearby. In the early 1930s, Gallagher was sued by another developer, Frank Novak, who had built some detached single family homes in the Lakeside community next to Lake Montebello. Believing that Gallaghers' rowhouses caused his property to depreciate, Novak won the lawsuit and forced Gallagher to build detached homes on land adjacent to Lakeside.[2]

Despite changes in surrounding communities during the latter half of the 20th century, Ednor Gardens-Lakeside remained relatively stable.

Memorial Stadium Redevelopment

The first stadium at the site was built in 1922 and was called Baltimore Stadium or Venable Stadium. It hosted a variety of smaller events, most notably college football games. It became the home to the Baltimore Orioles in 1944 when the team's previous stadium in Abell burned down. In 1950, the stadium was expanded to become Memorial Stadium. At its largest, Memorial Stadium seated 65,000 fans. The Orioles played their last game at the stadium in 1991 before departing for the newly constructed Oriole Park at Camden Yards in downtown Baltimore. The Baltimore Stallions and Baltimore Ravens football teams played at Memorial Stadium between 1994 and 1997. Memorial Stadium was demolished in 2002.

The demolition of the stadium and its parking lots left a giant 32-acre hole in the center of the Ednor Gardens-Lakeside community. The City awarded a nonprofit developer, Govans Ecumenical Development Corporation (GEDCO) the responsibility of creating and executing a new master plan for the site. The development, christened Stadium Place has an oval-shaped road around the center of the parcel, with a multipurpose athletic field for baseball, football and lacrosse in the middle. The field was developed the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation. As of 2013, Maryland's largest YMCA sits on the southwest corner of the site, and GEDCO has built four large senior apartment buildings on the eastern edge of the site. Future plans call for more senior apartment buildings and a small commercial center on the southeast corner.

Demographics

As of the 2010 Census, there are 5,185 people living in Ednor Gardens-Lakeside

The community association is named the Ednor Gardens-Lakeside Community Association. The homes range from large single family homes to semi-detached and townhouses in a number of different styles. A majority of homes are owner-occupied.[3]

Demographics

According to the 2000 US Census, 5,070 people live in Ednor Gardens-Lakeside with 81.3% African-American and 16% White. The median family income is $54,358 and 94% of the houses are occupied and 84.5% of those are occupied by the home's owner.[4]

title: Ednor Gardens-Lakeside, Baltimore

question: Summarize the inception and construction of the Ednor Gardens-Lakeside community.

answer: One of Baltimore's most prominent families had owned a railroad called the B&O, and when the patriarch died in 1896, he left a lot of property to his wife, Mary. Before she died, she had sold some of it, and a series of transaction followed until a man named Gallagher wrangled control over the land and named the development Ednore for his two sons Edward and Norman. English-style mansions inspired Gallagher to build rowhouses. He also made garages to compensate for the lack of public transportation to the area.

[Joanna Jedrzejczyk]

Joanna Jedrzejczyk

An injury has forced a major change to the top of the lineup of next month’s UFC Fight Night 69 card in Germany.

The bout between former light heavyweight title challengers Alexander Gustafsson (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Glover Teixeira (22-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is off due to a Gustafsson injury. UFC officials announced the news early today.

Taking its place in the headlining spot on the card will be a strawweight title fight between newly crowned champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Jessica Penne (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

UFC Fight Night 69 takes place June 20 at O2 World Berlin in Germany’s capital city. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass.

Gustafsson is ranked No. 4 and Teixeira is No. 8 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA light heavyweight rankings.

Gustafsson was looking to rebound from a January knockout loss to Anthony Johnson in a title eliminator. The 28-year-old was hoping to earn another title shot after a narrow defeat at the hands of then-champ Jon Jones, who was stripped of his title earlier this week. Gustafsson rebounded from his 2013 loss to Jones with a second-round TKO victory over Jimi Manuwa in early 2014 before falling short against “Rumble” earlier this year.

Teixeira also is in a must-win situation both for his contendership and his job security. The 35-year-old Brazilian made waves after winning his first five UFC fights and pushing his overall winning streak to 20 fights. However, he then suffered a title loss to Jones a year ago and followed it up with a lopsided unanimous-decision loss to Phil Davis in October.

It is not yet known if a replacement opponent will be sought for Teixeira to keep him on the card in Berlin, and the UFC said no additional information was available on Gustafsson’s injury.

Jedrzejczyk, from Poland, will put her 115-pound title on the line for the first time since taking it from inaugural champion Carla Esparza with a dominating second-round TKO at UFC 185 in March. The fight will be the first UFC title fight in Europe to take place outside the United Kingdom and the first UFC women’s title fight to take place in Europe.

Penne, the former Invicta atomweight champion, was expected to contend for the UFC’s first strawweight title on Season 20 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” But she lost to Esparza in the semifinals. She made her official UFC debut at the TUF 20 Finale in December and beat fellow semifinalist Randa Markos by split decision, picking up “Fight of the Night” honors in the process.

With the change and addition, the latest UFC Fight Night 69 lineup now includes:

-   Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Penne – for strawweight title
-   Derek Brunson vs. Krzysztof Jotko
-   Alan Patrick vs. Mairbek Taisumov
-   Niklas Backstrom vs. Noad Lahat
-   Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Dennis Siver
-   Nick Hein vs. Lukasz Sajewski
-   Scott Askham vs. Antonio dos Santos Jr.
-   Alan Omer vs. Mike Wilkinson
-   Piotr Hallmann vs. Magomed Mustafaev
-   Nikita Krylov vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima
-   Makwan Amirkhani vs. Masio Fullen

	“What you got?” He looked around nervously, almost waiting for a Health Agent to come swinging down on a vine of nylon and swoop him away.
	The other person, a middle aged woman, looked just as, if not more nervous. “What you need?”
	Still nervous, the man knew just what he wanted. Crisco or, preferably, straight partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Just one taste of the sick indulgence. The HAs will never know. “HVO?”  HVO, usually pronounced ho-vo, was slang for hydrogenated vegetable oil.
	“You know I gots that shit. Wait right here.” She lifted a dumpster lid nearby. Wrapping the interior of the clean dumpster was a handmade storage shelf lined with bottle after bottle of cooking oils. Next to the rainbow of green and gold oils sat an assortment of baked goods, potato chips, pies and various off-brand margarines. She grabbed a small bottle of the oil and handed it to the man, he slid a fifty into her palm as she did.
	“I was just thinking,” the man said, “do you have any, you know, margarine?”
	“Used to be butter, now they say ya can’t eat margarine. Yeah, I got some right here.” She turned to her dumpster and reached into it for a stick of the only name brand on the shelf, Shedd’s Spread Country Crock, pre-ban packaging, of course.
	When she turned around, the man saw his opportunity. He quietly removed his weapon from beneath his coat, then turned and swung the tire iron down, hard, across the back of her head. Blood sprayed from the wound as the skull caved in beneath the metal rod. A few bits of shattered bone sprayed into the air like impact ejecta, one of them bounced off the man’s cheek. She was dead before she hit the ground. Her body slumped sideways and fell to the wet concrete with a thud; blood began to pool around her head. Ravenous, the man hurried to the dumpster, which still stood open. He peered in. The oils lined the sides of the container. Christmas morning tinseled with liquid gold. He took the pack from his shoulders and began filling it with the small bottles and baked goods. A huge smile creased his face.
	At his feet the woman’s body jerked once. Probably just nerves, the man told himself continuing his gluttonous raid.
	An unexpected noise echoed from the end of the dark alley. He looked up. A silhouette stood, guarding the alley entrance, blocking his impending exit. “Hey! You!” The silhouette yelled.
	The man in front of the dumpster froze, looked down at the body and then at the man at the end of the alley. “Shit.” He knew it was an HA before he even heard his voice, an HA or another oil fiend. Probably both.
	“Hold it right there, junkie” The man began to approach, as he did, he drew his sidearm.
	Pack in hand, the man looked for an out. To his right only the solid brick wall of a pre-21st century building. His left, blocked by an agent of the Reorganized New York Police Department, Health Affairs Division. He glanced up, a fire escape dangled precariously from the side of another brick building. The ladder was at least four feet over his head.
