ROME — Stealing food from a supermarket may not be a crime in Italy if you are homeless and hungry, the nation's highest appeals court has ruled.
In a case that has drawn comparisons to "Les Misérables," the Supreme Court of Cassation threw out the conviction of a homeless man from Ukraine, Roman Ostriakov, who was caught trying to take 4.07 euros — about $4.70 — worth of cheese and sausage from a store in Genoa without paying for it. A trial court sentenced him in February 2015 to six months in jail and a fine of €100.
"The condition of the defendant and the circumstances in which the merchandise theft took place prove that he took possession of that small amount of food in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment, acting therefore in a state of need," and therefore the theft "does not constitute a crime," the appellate court wrote in its decision, which was reported on Monday by the Italian news agency ANSA.
The court's decision went far beyond what the appeal in the case had sought. Valeria Fazio, the prosecutor at the Genoa court where the trial was held, said in a telephone interview that her office understood that Mr. Ostriakov had stolen only out of need, and had appealed in hopes that the court might set a more lenient sentence.
But the court decided that he "doesn't have to be punished at all," Ms. Fazio said.
The court has yet to release its full reasoning in the case, but Gherardo Colombo, a former member of the Supreme Court of Cassation, said it seemed to rely on an Italian legal doctrine: "Ad impossibilia nemo tenetur."
The term is Latin for "No one is expected to do the impossible."
Maurizio Bellacosa, a professor of criminal law at Luiss University in Italy who has often argued cases before the Court of Cassation, said that the application of that doctrine in a shoplifting case "has a certain novelty."
"They rarely apply the 'state of necessity,' " Mr. Bellacosa said, and when they do, it is generally in cases "like a castaway who fights with another shipwreck victim for the last raft he has to save his life."
When examining thefts by poor people, he said, "usually the court classifies these cases as smaller crimes, but crimes, as poverty is considered avoidable through the social support system."
In contrast with the American legal system, the decisions of the Court of Cassation do not necessarily create binding precedents for lower courts to follow. But Mr. Bellacosa said the decision in the Ostriakov case "is a new principle, and it might lead to a more frequent application of the state of necessity linked to poverty situations."
The ruling quickly generated a heated response in Italy.
"For the supreme judges, the right to survival has prevailed over the right to property," Massimo Gramellini, an editor at La Stampa, a newspaper based in Turin, wrote in an opinion column. "In America that would be blasphemy. And here as well, some conformists will talk about a legitimation of proletarian expropriation."
In the 1970s, when Italy was rocked by violent leftist groups like the Red Brigades, radicalized youths "plundered supermarkets with impunity in the name of the working class," but they stole "caviar and Champagne," Mr. Gramellini added. "Now, people don't steal to pursue an ideal, but to fill up their stomach."
Another commentator, Goffredo Buccini, writing approvingly of the decision in the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, likened the current situation to the period right after World War II, when the Italian economy was in ruins.
"As the law is nothing else but the box where our living together takes shape, it was unthinkable that jurisprudence did not take reality into account," Mr. Buccini wrote. He cited statistics from Confcommercio, a trade association, showing that thefts resulting from hunger have been on the rise in recent years.
Italy has managed only a fitful recovery from the financial crisis that began in 2008. According to the World Bank, gross domestic product per capita is about where it was in 2010, and the International Monetary Fund projects that the economy will grow by a sluggish 1.3 percent this year. In some Italian cities, homelessness has become more prevalent.
Mr. Colombo, the former member of the Supreme Court of Cassation, said he believed that the decision in the Ostriakov case was correct.
"Under the Italian Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has a legal right to dignity," he said in a telephone interview, emphasizing that he was offering only his own opinion. "If you can't eat because you have absolutely no money, and cannot sustain yourself without taking something you don't own, in this case, the Italian criminal law justifies this theft."
Mr. Ostriakov, 30, was spotted by another customer when he tried to leave the supermarket with cheese and sausage in his pocket after having only paid for some breadsticks. Mr. Colombo said it was important legally that the theft was nonviolent.
"It would have been different if he had committed a robbery," he said. "They wouldn't have acquitted him."

Do you drag yourself through the day, looking forward to that moment when you can collapse on the couch and grab a nap, or better yet, go to sleep for 12 hours? Being tired is a common ailment in today's modern society. There can be many things that can cause us to feel groggy, especially around two or three in the afternoon. Today I'll outline three culprits for low energy and what you can do to reverse the effects so you feel like you can accomplish your to-do list in one afternoon. Let's get down to business to increasing our energy.
We often don't think about what we eat when it comes to figuring out what is making us drag our ass in the middle of the afternoon. Food is usually the number one suspect.
What we eat and when we eat it has everything to do with how our body generates and uses energy throughout the day. The number one culprit for triggering nap-time fantasies? Sugar – mostly processed sugar.
Why is sugar the enemy? There are many reasons, but for this post, I will focus on one – blood sugar levels.
You see, when we digest sugar, it has a direct impact on our blood glucose levels. When glucose enters our body, it sends a message to the pancreas to send out insulin to eat up the glucose and get it into our cells to create energy. In a typical situation, this is great because who doesn't want more energy.
Unfortunately, the majority of us have some level of insulin resistance and our body no longer correctly responds to insulin surges, so the pancreas keeps producing way too much. When our blood sugar levels spike super high, the only place for them to go is down, which causes a metabolic crash. Eating meals that are full of sugar and processed foods (usually laden with added sugar) is a recipe for a fatigue disaster.
When this happens at the beginning of the day (think breakfast full of cereal, bagels, and muffins), we see ourselves land in a never-ending cycle of snack, spike, crash, snack, spike, crash. So what do we do about it?
While the solution is simple, it may take some practice and some withdrawal symptoms to get you onboard. If you're a sugar addict you may find it unpleasant to cut out all sugar cold-turkey; however, I have found it is the best and quickest way to get your blood sugar back to normal levels quickly. It usually takes about 3-4 days to get your sugar cravings under control, but when you do, life will look bright again – as long as you stay away from the sugar spikes.
How do you do that you ask? At every meal focus on lots of non-starchy vegetables (at least half of your meal), high-quality protein (meat, poultry, fish, and eggs), and good healthy fats (avocado, nuts, seeds, eggs, coconut oil, salmon). Limit fruit to low-sugar berries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, kiwi, and avocados, and ALWAYS eat them with a healthy fat or protein. Focus on foods that are low on the glycemic index, and your blood sugar will stay steady.
So, we've identified that what we eat is a leading culprit of our low energy levels. Now, let's focus on the second reason we have no fuel in our pumps.
Physical activity, or what some people call exercise, is one of the best ways to help manage blood sugar and keep our energy reserves at a reasonable level.
Sedentary people who regularly complain of fatigue can increase their energy levels by 20 percent and decrease their fatigue by 65 percent by engaging in regular, low-intensity exercise.
University of Georgia (2008)
When our bodies have pumped out too much glucose, and our pancreas doesn't know how to handle it, getting up and moving our bodies is a great way to use up that extra glucose. When we exercise and raise our heart rate, the muscles in our body start working harder, and they need fuel. Guess what they eat? Glucose!
When activated by exercise our muscle cells can better use the available insulin in our bodies to eat up the excess glucose. Even if excess insulin is not available, the muscles can use the glucose to create energy. According to the American Diabetes Association, "physical activity can lower your blood glucose up to 24 hours or more after your workout by making your body more sensitive to insulin."
Article continues below...
Put your sneakers on and go for a brisk walk. Do some DDP Yoga after lunch to work off that client lunch (where they kept offering you bread!), or ride your bike around the neighborhood to get your heart rate into the fitness zone. Whatever you do, make sure you raise your heart rate (to a healthy level) for at least 30 minutes a day five days a week.
The key is getting your heart rate up so that your body releases some natural hormones called endorphins. These are the "feel good" molecules that lead to increasing our energy. Another positive side of this mechanism is that it boosts our mental mood and brain function – we become happier and more alert, both of which contribute to increased energy levels.
You will need to figure out how much aerobic exercise is necessary for you to release your endorphins, as everybody is different. Pay attention to how your workouts make you feel and adjust accordingly.
Note that if you are insulin resistant or have diabetes, be sure to monitor your blood glucose levels before and after exercise to ensure they remain at safe levels. Know your body and work with your doctor if you are not sure how to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle.
Yep, you heard it here; sleep can help you have more energy throughout the day. I bet if I asked you if you needed more sleep you would probably say yes. Am I right?
It is a no-brainer to understand that sleep helps us have more energy throughout the day. We run around all day trying to fit in everything and then some more without considering that we need to refuel our bodies through a sound, deep sleep.
Our bodies heal while we are asleep and the best time for this healing to occur is between the hours of 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. And during that sleep time our most healing period is in the N3 stage of non-REM sleep (just before going into REM – rapid eye movement – phase). According to the Sleep Foundation, during the N3 stage, our blood pressure drops, muscles relax (including the heart), blood supply increases to muscles and organs, tissues grow and repair themselves, and essential hormones are released.
Sometimes getting to sleep is the tricky part. Here are a few suggestions.
You might be wondering how much sleep you need to get. That is something only you can answer. I did a little test to see how many hours I would sleep naturally without an alarm clock. It was nine hours. After nine hours of sleep I will automatically wake up refreshed and ready to go. Try and get the right amount of sleep for you. If you are lucky, you might have the DEC2 gene mutation that allows you to get by on six hours of sleep. Think of what you can do with a couple of more hours of awake time!
You may have noticed something as you read through the three different things that can help increase your energy levels. They are all connected. The food changes will help fuel your exercise, and the exercise will help you get ready for comfortable sleep. A healthy sleep cycle will reduce your sugar cravings, and you will eat healthier and less often.
Our bodies are magic capsules that can keep us going with the right amount of energy to help us do what we want to do and achieve our highest goals. Eat, move and sleep to better health.

Redmond (WA) – The build-up to Microsoft's heralded Xbox 360 shooter is almost unheard of, and by this time tomorrow gamers will finally have their retail copies of Halo 3.
See Halo 3 screenshots and the game's huge marketing campaign It was obvious that there was going to be a Halo 3 from before Halo 2 was even released. The first big news of the game came out at E3 2006, where many saw it in action for the first time.
Halo 3 remained pretty much a mystery for months after that, with scant updates about what new features the game would offer. For over a year Halo fans were left waiting in anticipation for the series' debut entry on the Xbox 360. Then in May 2007, the game's developer Bungie opened up a semi-public beta for hardcore devotees to test it out for a couple weeks.
Bungie would later say that the beta was pivotal in fixing online gaming glitches, and in realizing that it needed to triple server capacity. The beta reportedly saw 350 terabytes worth of downloads. Around 820,000 people in total partook in the online preview.
The game has already set a sales record. It reached one million pre-orders last month, which Microsoft claims makes it the fastest-selling pre-ordered game ever.
Microsoft has said the budget for Halo 3 marketing will be its biggest ever for a single game. There is already a limited edition Mountain Dew drink created specifically for Halo 3. The game's mascot, Master Chief, also made a conveniently timed debut at Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas. Microsoft is springing for official launch parties in several cities coast-to-coast. In the coming weeks a tie-in with Burger King will kick off, and a special Halo 3-themed Pontiac will be available.
Not to be outdone, nearly the entire line of Xbox 360 accessories has been given a Halo 3 makeover with special edition headsets, controllers, and faceplates. A special edition Xbox 360 with Halo 3 theming will also hit stores tomorrow.
Halo 3 is also the first first-party title from Microsoft that will be available in three different editions. The standard $60 game, a special edition $70 package, and a "legendary" $130 game will adorn the massive Halo 3 displays at retailers nationwide. Many stores will hold midnight sales, giving gamers access to the game as soon as the street date breaks.
The question that remains is whether the hype will prove to be warranted. There were some vocal critics during the beta, and some skeptics bash the game as nothing more than an incremental upgrade from Halo 2. Either way, tomorrow will be Microsoft's day as it begins to ride the Halo 3 tidal wave all the way through the holiday season.

Like a lot of character actors who got their start between the 1950s and the 1970s, Dick Miller seems to have been born middle-aged. After moving from California to New York in his early 20s to become a writer, Miller followed up on a tip from a friend and made his big-screen acting debut at age 26, playing a Native American in Roger Corman's 1955 Western Apache Woman. Even then, he looked weathered. Corman hired Miller again for his next picture, and kept plugging him into movies over the next decade, sometimes in bit parts, and sometimes as a leading man. By the end of the 1960s—by the time he actually was middle-aged—Miller had become one of the most recognizable faces in American cinema, even though most film buffs didn't know his name.
Elijah Drenner's That Guy Dick Miller serves as a postscript of sorts to Drenner's 2010 documentary American Grindhouse, about the history of B-movies and exploitation. Thanks to his long association with Corman, Miller has his own perspective on what it was like to make those films, and how drive-in fare changed over the decades. In Miller's case, his career was revived in the 1970s when Corman started New World Pictures and hired youngsters like Joe Dante, Allan Arkush, and Jonathan Kaplan, who'd grown up with Miller's performances in A Bucket Of Blood and The Little Shop Of Horrors. When those same directors later transitioned to big Hollywood movies, they brought Miller with them, as a good-luck charm and a connection to their pasts. Then in the straight-to-video era, another wave of filmmakers called on Miller, to pay homage to the trash-cinema tradition. (That's why so many of Miller's characters over the years have been named "Walter Paisley," as a wink to the cognoscenti who remember that character in Bucket Of Blood.)
All that makes for a fun, heartwarming story. And yet it's hard to recommend That Guy Dick Miller as a documentary. There's nothing noteworthy about it formally: It's just a string of clips from Miller's films, punctuated by talking-head interviews with Miller, his wife, and his colleagues. These people are insightful. Corman has an apparently encyclopedic memory, and Dante understands exactly what Miller has brought to his work over the years. But Drenner's overall approach here is too limiting for a character sketch—which may be why That Guy Dick Miller frequently veers off-topic. (For a while, it pretty much becomes a documentary about Dante.) When Miller talks about appearing in five movies in a year and only taking home $1,500, or when his wife flips through a drawer filled with unproduced Miller screenplays like Rancho Bikini and Help, There's A Spy In My Bed!, those moments suggest a less breezy, much richer documentary, about what it's really like to be a character actor, living and dying with every phone call.
Still, while That Guy Dick Miller plays a lot like an extended (and overlong) DVD extra, the subject is so likable that the movie as a whole is fairly pleasant, especially for anyone with an abiding affection for Corman and his disciples. What's great about Dante—or John Sayles, who wrote Miller's Piranha role, or Zach Galligan, who co-starred with Miller in Gremlins—is that they're fans as well as artists. They have a lot to say about this memorably ordinary guy, with his raspy Bronx accent and his ability to make the straightest, dullest role three-dimensional and funny. Miller has played nearly every part the same, with a mix of blue-collar exasperation and hepcat swagger, and that personality is a big part of why he's had such an authentic presence onscreen. It's always felt like he was just living on the set, and then a film crew showed up.

My new book, Doing Public Ethnography: How to Create and Disseminate Ethnographic ad Qualitative Research to Wide Audiences has now been released. The book was published by Routledge, London, as part of its series on Advances in Research Methods. The monograph collects my reflections and writings collected over nearly a decade, with the addition of new essays never published before.
Ethnography and qualitative research methodology in general have witnessed a staggering proliferation of styles and genres over the last three decades. Modes and channels of communication have similarly expanded and diversified. Now ethnographers have the opportunity to disseminate their work not only through traditional writing but also through aural, visual, performative, hypertext, and many diverse and creative multimodal documentation strategies. Yet, many ethnographers still feel insufficiently proficient with these new literacies and opportunities for knowledge mobilization, and they therefore still limit themselves to traditional modes of communication in spite of their desire for innovation.
As university-based, community-driven and politically mandated agendas for broader knowledge transfer keep increasing worldwide, the demand for public scholarship continues to grow. Arguing for the need to disseminate innovative ethnographic knowledge more widely and more effectively, this book outlines practical strategies and tools for sharing ethnographic and qualitative research through widely accessible media such as magazines, trade books, blogs, newspapers, video, radio, and social media. Drawing from practical experiences and hands-on lessons, Doing Public Ethnography provides social scientists across all disciplines with concrete tactics for mobilizing knowledge beyond the academic realm.

School supply lists include plenty of items that will help set students up for success. Pencils, papers, notebooks, and calculators are important, but some of the most useful back to school supplies do not go in a backpack. Going back to school means many students will access the Internet both at school and at home. Teachers, parents, and other adults can provide students the following online safety tips, from Stop.Think.Connect.'s parent and teacher resources:
Do not share personal information. Keep personal information about yourself private. This includes information about your family members, your school, your telephone number, and your address.
Be careful what you write or upload. Think twice before you post or say anything online. Once it is out in cyberspace, it is there forever. Do not post anything that you would not want your family, other students, teachers, or current and future employers to see!
Connect with care. Do not click on links or open emails from people you do not know. Cyber criminals use emails and links that look okay to lure people into clicking. If you think an offer is too good to be true, it probably is.
Use strong passwords. Try not to use the same password for multiple sites. Make passwords strong and change them often.
Keep your belongings safe. Lock your computer and mobile phone.
Be a good online citizen. Understand that what you do online is the same as what you do in person. Be careful what you post or say about others.
Speak up! If you see something bad or inappropriate online, are contacted by someone you do not know or do not want to talk to, or see cyber-bullying take place, do not try to retaliate or get involved. Talk to a trusted adult and work together on how to solve the problem.
Many Stop.Think.Connect. National Network and Cyber Coalition Partners have additional online and computer safety resources for children and students, including Netsmartz Workshop, Connect Safely, iKeepSafe, and Savvy Cyber Kids.
It is the official policy of the Pickens County Board of Education that no person shall on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, ethnic group, or disability be denied, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any course, program or activity.

Anything no sew is quite frankly amazing. That's why I'm super excited to share this DIY No Sew Sequin Shirt with you today. I've been wearing this thing out since I made it. Black and white stripes are the new neutral, so it goes with nearly everything.
In case you were wondering, this spells "eve." Eve is my middle name. I had to represent!
Crop Top (I got mine at Target for maybe $10)
Sequin Ribbon
"Write" your word with your sequins. Using a glue gun, glue the sequins in place. Do a second line of sequins if you wish (I did). I would hand wash your top. If you would like to put it in the washer, just sew a stitch with your machine across the sequins.
It gets very awkward and boring being in front of the camera ... I hate it actually! I have no idea what I'm doing here. I'll call this my "I'm excited for football season pose" because on a totally unrelated note, it's almost here ... and I can't wait!

AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH. That is the sound of an allergy mom two days before Halloween when she discovers all four sets of her daughter's epinephrine auto-injectors have been recalled.
Sanofi just issued a nationwide recall for basically all active Auvi-Q devices. As you may remember, these are our favorite auto-injectors. They are smaller, use auditory instructions, and have a shorter injection administration time.
If you use an Auvi-Q please check your device to see if the recall applies:
This includes lot number 2299596 through 3037230, which expire March 2016 through December 2016. The products have been found to potentially have inaccurate dosage delivery.
If your device was recalled, please contact your doctor to obtain a prescription for an alternate epinephrine auto-injector (Epi-Pen or Adrenaclick). Sanofi will reimburse you for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in replacing your device.
Epinephrine has saved Bubba's life four times. When used quickly and correctly it has the power to stop a life-threatening allergic reaction. It's basically a miracle drug. Bubba travels with it where ever she goes. She also has a home set, a school set, and a set at her grandparents. I have already called our doctor for a new prescription and will be heading out to the pharmacy now. Stay safe and contact your doctor if you have any questions!

White Canvas Sky | Pub St. Ciboire
Once again, I made my way out to Pub St. Ciboire in search of beers, loud music, good times, and everything else in between. I had not visited that particular venue since the Milo McMahon show back in the winter, so I was excited to bask in its unmistakeable comfortable ambience for another time. I purchased for myself a draught pale ale, sat myself down, and let the amplified sounds approach my ears with anticipation. All the bands that played on this night of May 17th were local, which is always a treat as it is an opportunity to take a sample of some of Montreal's rising stars in the music scene. The first band was Adam's Always Late.
I was excited to finally catch Adam's Always Late, as there was a period of time during the winter where posters for a show they played were plastered all over the Concordia downtown campus. The music they play is what mp3.com in its salad days would have termed as "alternative metal," as their sound - riffs, vocal style, and all - is firmly in the territory of bands such as Sevendust or Godsmack. They do, however, pepper their songs with the Aeolian mode Swedish melodic death metal-inspired riffs that groups like Killswitch Engage popularized a number of years ago. I have to admit, I'm not so hot on this style, even though I realize that it has a wide appeal in the greater metal-listening public. My years of participation in Alberta's bar-rock scene exposed me to far more bands in this style than I would have ever cared to hear; I remember at one point going with a friend's band to some festival near Red Deer that featured three full days (as in 11 in the morning until past midnight) of that kind of stuff. Enough bad Chad Kroeger impersonations to make you want to vomit. That aside, they all played tightly, the vocalist was on pitch, and the drumming was competent. Alex Robshaw came next.
Alex Robshaw is a singer-songwriter (a pianist!) with a backup band. They are a little more my style, as they play a kind of bluesy hard rock that is reminiscent of Tool in some places and similar to Sabbathy stoner doom in others. Their bassist gets high marks from me, as he held down the bottom end with gusto despite having only joined the band two weeks prior. Likewise, I was particularly impressed with their drummer. He had a firm grasp of good dynamics and is able to make some hard hits on the kit. Alex's vocals are another high point in the sound; she packs power and grit into her singing, and she has an impressive vocal range. Her gothic buresque fashion sense also serves to set her apart as a front person from the rest of the bros in the city's hard rock scene. Unique!

Joomla CMS Web Design
There are many many CMS's out there, and a lot of web-designers will try to indicate that one is better than another. Well here is the bottom line, a lot of the popular CMS's all can get the same end result, and can offer users a perfect admin and end user experience. Drupal, MODx, Wordpress, Joomla etc. All have solid frameworks based on many years of development. The 'choice' needed with a CMS is really down to what the web-developer you are using prefers.
MOLE Design has chosen Joomla as its CMS, and we are not going to spend a lot of time saying that it is the best as this is purely a matter of opinion. We know some of the best developers (in the world?) who can work wonders with other CMS's. When you choose a website based on CMS with MOLE Design you get the following.
- A top notch, lightweight template which is responsive for all devices capable of displaying it
- The ability to use template switching so you can change the appearance of your website dynamically

- Multiple levels of security for your clients and employees
- HTML5 and CSS3 base for all the latest browsers

Product Review: Biodroga Oxygen Formula Night Cream
Okay, I have saved the best for last. While I found the other three Biodroga products I bought decent enough, but not worth the price tag, that is not the case with this cream. This cream is for dry skin and is meant to "oxygenate" your skin. I have no idea whether or not my skin gets any more oxygen from using this, but what I do know is that it is an incredibly luxurious moisturizer for very dry skin. It is very thick, so a little goes a long way. Even though it is thick it doesn't feel super greasy as long as you use a light hand. I have to admit though that my skin is so dry that I like a very thick feeling cream.
When I apply it, my skin seems like it plumps right up and almost glows. I wake up in the morning and my skin still feels moisturized and not tight, like it has in the past when I use a lighter cream. It is $90 for a jar, but considering I have been using this same jar for six months and have not hit the bottom yet, it is worth this much and then some! I have been getting a lot of compliments on my skin lately, and I think this cream has a lot to do with that since it always looks so much better when it's moisturized and not so dehydrated.

Faces from the deep
November 22, 2010
"It is only at the first encounter that a face makes its full impression on us." —Arthur Shopenhaur
The faces on this trip have been interesting. There have been tired faces, happy faces, excited faces, and a few stressed faces when weather or technical issues delayed dives. The views of the deep have been mesmerizing, but the video coming back from Jason has told only a part of the story. When we get the specimens in the lab to photograph them, the personalities come out in the faces of the many creatures of the deep.
"So many faces in and out of my life; some will last, some will be just now and then." —Author unknown
Many of the faces I encountered on this memorable trip will last….

We have some great news! IGA has met yours and our demands to end its role in rainforest destruction. The supermarket chain has agreed to rule out using Indonesia's biggest forest destroyer – Asia Pulp & Paper (and affiliates) – to supply its toilet paper products. No more wiping our bums with critical tiger habitat!
Up until this week, IGA was APP's biggest Australian customer. Dropping APP is great news for Indonesia's rainforests, endangered Sumatran tigers and our climate. It's also a great win for people power – thank you for taking action!
This campaign to shift IGA is part of our larger campaign to stop the rapid destruction of Indonesia's rainforests. We're urging other companies to also end their contracts with notorious APP, such as the toy industry. Last month, Lego was the first toy company to stop using APP for its packaging.
Not only do we pressure companies to clean up their supply chain, we document the destruction on the ground, expose the forest destroyers, lobby decision makers and work with local communities to create positive change.
We recently sent you information regarding this work and the new IGA commitment is testament to its importance. We must continue to apply pressure and build on the momentum of this great breakthrough. APP is trying to rapidly expand its operations in Australia. Now is the time to ensure other companies follow IGA's lead and not buy from rainforest destruction.
Please support this critical work with a tax-deductible donation. If you have already donated, thank you so much.

The following is the October APS Chesapeake Racer Profile, a monthly hi-light in Spinsheet Magazine (written by Molly Winans):
Anyone who heard her sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at the beginning of the Melges 24 World Championships in Annapolis last fall knows who Ashley Love is. The Jersey Shore native and lifelong sailor is no stranger to singing solo in front of crowds, nor is it foreign to her to work quietly behind a video camera. Born into a sailing family, Love started sailing on an E-Scow as a baby and moved onto junior sailing in Optis, Bytes, and Lasers. Although she chose Ultimate Frisbee over sailing as her sport at the University in Richmond, where she was a theater and English major, she was assistant sailing coach at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY, for an academic year after college starting in 2007.
It was at Hobart that Love started making music videos for the traveling team "just to pump them up. I loved editing and figuring it out," she says. Those videos helped to land her an internship in July 2008 at T2Productions, an Annapolis-based video production company, where she is now a full-time producer, videographer, and editor. Love's work has taken her to regattas in Denmark and the British Virgin Islands and all over the United States. "A lot of people go to school to do what I do. I'm sure they know more than I do, but I learn by doing," she says. "Just like sailing, nothing is ever the same. There's always a new assignment, a new angle, and a new way to try something." Love says that her theater background—which included acting, dancing, singing, doing sound work, and directing and writing plays—and a decade of coaching sailing prepared her well for video production work. "I know how to tell a story and entertain. I also know where to be on the race course to get the best shots."
Among Love's competitive adventures have been winning a gold for the U.S.A. in Beach Ultimate Frisbee in Brazil and sailing in the Women's Single-Handed Laser Radial World Championships in Japan, Bytes in Bermuda, 29ers in Finland, Melges 32s in Australia, and 5O5 and Laser racing out of Severn SA in Annapolis.
A year ago, Love and a group of eight sailing buddies started the Young Adult Sailing Team (YAST) for 21- to 35-year-old sailors. "We're the lost generation of sailors," she says. Now at 30 members, the YAST team is trying to change that and get more young people on the water to share their passion for sailing and bring back the fun, doing anything from greased watermelon relays to scavenger hunts.
Who are your top sailing mentors and buddies?
My dad, Evan Harrell, and Eric Reitinger.
Do you have a favorite sailing moment from this season?
Deciding to buy a 5O5 with my boyfriend, finding one, and promptly buying it. When we were screaming along and trapped out with the chute up in 18 knots of breeze for the first time, it was everything we were
hoping it would be.
Do you have a favorite place on the Bay?
Sailing back to the dock at SSA with the sun setting behind the city.
What kind of music are you listening to lately?
Whatever music I'm editing with. We have a program so you can choose the exact duration for the video you need and the mood and then alter it to your liking. It's fantastic! I love using the big orchestra and choir pieces for music videos.
What television programs do you watch?
Grey's Anatomy is one of my guilty pleasures. I watch a ton of movies. I'm always watching the cinematographers' camera angle and style choices. I don't like going into the movie knowing what it's about. I love to rewrite the endings.
What are your non-sailing passions?
Anything theater and Ultimate Frisbee.
Do you have any advice for young racing sailors?
The earth is 70-percent water and probably one percent populated, so you have to get out there. Whatever makes you happy, whatever gets your heart pumping, whatever floats your boat, just do it. Let the adrenaline in now, and give risk a chance on and off the water.
Do you have any sailing goals?
I love that sailing is a lifetime sport, and you can't stop learning. Every time I go out, there's a new opponent, a new condition. I want to learn how to fix things, too. I just did my first delivery from Annapolis to Cape Cod, MA. I'd like to do more overnight sailing and to see the night sky away from land.
What's in your gear bag?
Board shorts, 17-year-old Gill dinghy boots, a T2P hat, and Gill sunglasses.
If you won the lottery, what kind of boat would you buy?
I'd want a boat that could take me to those stars. Maybe I'll find one at the sailboat show!

There are many ways to have jQuery open external links for you. Some depend on relative URL\'s for internal links and absolute URL\'s for external links. Some analyze the link to see if it matches your domain. These are great but can sometimes be confusing for those new to jQuery and web development. There is a quick way that you can use and the only requirement is add \'ext\' to the [rel] attribute...

Good Wood study/
The Union of Concerned Scientists recently released a study entitled Wood for Good (PDF), which discusses the most sustainable ways to produce timber and other wood products. This is one part of a series of reports on deforestation that previously identified commercial logging as one of the main drivers of deforestation.
One whole chapter in the report discusses where we as a society should be harvesting wood from. We were encouraged to see that one of their main recommendations is for polyculture systems with native tropical hardwoods. They cite a number of studies noting the environmental and production benefits such as more biomass, habitat, reduced need for fertilizer, and increased yields. Unfortunately, they note that polyculture systems are still rare compared to their distant cousin, the monoculture plantation.
The paper did note that monoculture plantations can be sustainable sources of wood products and pulp, but primary forest should never be cleared to make space for the plantation. Logging to make room for monoculture palm oil plantations is a leading driver of deforestation in Southeast Asia and a source of carbon emissions.
Their recommendations to protect water and reduce soil erosion, reduce chemical inputs, protect biodiversity, protect genetic resources, and plant on degraded land are all practices we implement as part of our Equitable Forestry model.
Finally, they note the importance of making forestry work for the communities living in or near the forests. Without offering communities sustainable alternative income generation activities, the clearing of forests will continue alongside the illegal logging.

Advising on prices for intra-group transactions, using proven economic databases to recommend prices which maximize legitimate tax savings whilst minimizing the risk of successful challenges by national tax authorities.Transfer pricing has taken on greater significance, not just in terms of complying with the rules in each country, but also as a planning tool in minimizing a multinational group's global tax burden.

Thanks to Dr. Bena B. Won and Dr. Joe Raphael for hosting me for an informational event. All opinions are my own.
Move over Tupperware parties, hello Botox party!
Despite our stressful juggling act with work, kids, and deep wrinkles caused by our crazy teenagers, southern Cali moms strive to look their best. We stray away from looking haggard, exhausted, and disheveled. This new fast growing trend has become high demand and an ideal way to spending a lady's night.
"Botox is a quick fix," says Dr. Bena B. Won.
Imagine… an evening with your girlfriends along with some champagne, hors d'oeuvres, and a little skin rejuvenation in the comfort of your own home.
Nice, but here are five important facts that should be considered before hosting a party.
- While Botox administered at home is legal, it is still extremely important to research the physician and clinic that will be attending your guests. The host should verify that the Botox and Dysport should be administered by a board- certified aesthetic physician. Remember this is a prescription only medication and so it should be administered by a fully qualified physician.
- Make sure your guests are aware they will be asked to provide some medical history and sign a consent form for the attending physician. So if you and your guests are concerned about privacy and HIPAA (privacy rule), patients must feel comfortable giving this information outside of a medical facility.

You likely already know the basic tenants of good SEO for your website, but did you know that effective website design can also be a powerful factor that helps your site show up higher in search engine rankings?

text: Posted on Monday, October 14, 2013 in UEA Blog Companies with a long history like United Equipment Accessories usually have several people in management positions that also have a long history with the company. These people have been around long enough to know the inner workings of the company and how functions and processes have arrived at where they are today. This can be a great asset in the aspect of not repeating the same mistakes that were overcome to reach the present "state of the art". This can also be a detriment if the attitude of "this is how we've always done it" prevents exploring new methods. Some blend of the aged wisdom of the old timers and the fresh inquisitive outlook of a newcomer would seem to be a good mix for moving forward with great success. Currently United Equipment Accessories is working in conjunction with groups of Iowa State University students from the Industrial Engineering Department on multiple capstone projects. Each of these groups will focus on an area to collect data, learn processes and evaluate the effectiveness of the present situations with the intent to make proposals on possible improvements based on their research and education. The areas of focus are: 1) Inventory Control management analysis 2) Hydraulic Cell and Clean Room management and certification 3) CNC Machine utilization and process flow These projects serve dual purpose, hopefully being mutually beneficial to the ISU students as well as United Equipment Accessories. For the students this is an opportunity to spend time on a functioning "real world" manufacturing facility to get a better perspective of what the classroom examples attempt to represent. For UEA this is a chance to have a new set of eyes look at the situation without the "noise" of day to day issues being a distraction. Being able to step away and focus on the data and observations in an unbiased way and come back with proposals that could be the next step to higher productivity and effectiveness. Pictured left is the CNC area team I am fortunate enough to be working with. L to R Ben Warrick, Amy Young, Trenton Klocke, and Austin Riesselman Kent Davis Senior Engineer

Fort Montgomery in Orange County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Three Sisters Garden
The raised mounds you see to the rear are a recreation of a native "Three Sisters" garden. Corn, beans, and squash, the Three Sisters were companion crops planted by the natives. As the story goes, the Three Sisters augmented each other in a symbiotic relationship. Sister Corn would grow straight and tall providing a natural trellis for Sister Bean. In return, Sister Bean fixed nitrogen for Sister Corn, who was always hungry. Sister Squash provided shade for the roots of Sister Corn and Sister Bean, and kept animals and pests away with her long vines with sharp hairs. Interestingly enough modern nutritional research has shown that the amino acid groups of the 3 sisters, together, make up a complete protein!
The Three sisters were planted in mounds of earth about 2 to 3 feet in diameter and about a foot or two away. The corn was planted in the four cardinal directions paying respect to these principle directions and their relationship to the earth. This three sister garden was planted using authentic, heirloom seeds. According to the latest research, the Lenape Indians living in this area first adopted agriculture

Published at Saturday, August 10th, 2019 - 07:33:31 AM. Vanity. By Erembourg Therriault.
In the past, people used to consider the bathroom vanities as a cover for the piping in the bathroom. These days, due to the various designs, they have started adding meaning to the bathrooms. When you are buying the modern double bathroom vanity, you need to check the description and the features of the double vanity. There are some dealers who would show you the entire picture of it, but sell the components separately. These components include the vanity, sink and the faucet.
You will find that there are three styles of vanities – antique, transitional and contemporary. While the first two types of vanities are bulkier and more ornate, a contemporary bathroom vanity is more simplistic in design. It blends well with today's style of bathroom décor and available bathroom fixtures. It also goes well with the preference of the modern generation. Today's generation may admire Victorian or Gothic designs in cinemas or on the pages of fashion magazines, but for their own home, they always choose the contemporary style.

How Having a Luxury Bathroom Makes You Smarter and More Successful
Ah, stress. While the so-called "fight or flight" type of stress has its place, chronic stress is a serious problem that adversely affects our overall mental and physical health.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, long-term stress can contribute to serious mental and physical health problems such as depression, anxiety, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Signs of stress can include trouble sleeping, increased alcohol use, feeling depressed, being easily angered, or having low energy.
No one wants to feel stressed. For starters, it makes us feel lousy and anxious, and it often impacts our relationships with our families and co-workers. It's safe to say that most of us want to be healthy physically and mentally. We want to feel well-rested, in control of our bodies, happy, and energetic. We want to be smart and successful, but if we're out of sorts, ill, cranky, and sluggish, it's hard to focus let alone give anything our best effort.
Dealing with Stress
Managing stress is essential for our overall well-being and for our overall success. To manage stress, the National Institute of Mental Health suggests: recognizing its signs, talking to your doctor, getting regular exercise, trying relaxing activities, setting goals and priorities, building a support system, and even considering participating in a clinical trial. This is all good advice, but how does a luxury bathroom fit in?
One of the most relaxing activities available is the tried-and-true bath. There's nothing like the mental escape and sheer relaxation that sets in when you immerse yourself in a tub of warm water without any distractions. Soft lighting, relaxing music, essential oils, pleasant aromas, a refreshing drink, and beautiful, fluffy towels add to the experience. This ritual isn't about getting clean (though that's a nice side effect), but rather clearing your mind and body of the stress that's holding you back and threatening your health.
Upgrade to a Luxury Bathroom
Source: http://breenhomes.com/
Having a luxury bathroom is like having your own private spa where nothing else matters but pampering yourself. Be sure to include a luxury bathtub to relax in. Every time you cross that threshold, you're able to remove some of the stress from your life with a freestanding tub.
With the stress managed, if not shed completely, your luxury bathroom retreat will have given you a precious gift. Not only will it help you to become more relaxed and a more pleasant person to be around, it can help you to focus on learning and getting ahead at work. Hence, you'll be smarter and more successful!

Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group, has caused an undeniable amount of violence in Nigeria.
The group — notorious for kidnapping more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls in April 2014, and subjecting many of them rape, forced pregnancies and marriages, and slavery — recently made more headlines for gunning down 97 Muslims praying in a mosque.
The Nigerian government and vigilante forces alike have been fighting against the vicious group, but Monday, the United Nations announced its support to help Nigeria in the fight, as stated by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Per Reuters, the UN also plans to strengthen democracy in the African country.
'I hope that this example will be emulated by many countries around the world ... I want to commend the people of Nigeria on the peaceful, free and fair elections,' Ban said in Abuja after meeting Buhari, according to Reuters.
The announcement comes after Ban remembered the 2011 Boko Haram bombings on the UN headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria.
According to AFP, Boko Haram has claimed more than 15,000 people in a six-year span — a startling issue that the UN will now address head-on.
"The humanitarian situation in the northeast is particularly worrying. We are working with partners on the ground to scale up humanitarian operations," Ban told Reuters.

The Tallest Building in New Orleans
One Shell Square in downtown New Orleans was completed in 1972, three years before the Louisiana Superdome. It started a construction boom in what was to become New Orleans vibrant Downtown. One Shell Square was then and still is now the tallest building in New Orleans, 51 floors and 697 feet tall! Special 'Caissons' type pilings (floating pilings) 90' deep had to be used for its foundations since New Orleans' soil composition down there is closer to the consistency of 'jello' than that of bedrock. Building high-rises can be quite a challenge in a city below sea level. Interestingly, no one in New Orleans lives in these high buildings, they are always either hotels or office buildings. Locals might not trust these heights, or maybe they believe these might be sinking!
