Logistics Alert: What the New IMO 2020 Emissions Standards Mean for the Shipping Industry-
Earlier this year, we shared some important information about the International Maritime Organization (IMO) announcing a new standard regarding the acceptable levels of sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions in bunker fuel – all in an effort to reduce air pollution from container ships. With less than six months to the full implementation of the emissions standard, there is still uncertainty throughout the global shipping industry about its overall impact. In this post, I'll examine what shippers need to know about the new fuel guidelines and discuss how it could affect their business.
Quarterly Industry Report: Q2 of 2019-
We're halfway through 2019, and throughout the past six months, the transportation industry has experienced a number of events that have affected shippers and carriers alike—including the annual Roadcheck inspection and ongoing capacity fluctuations. But no matter what the current landscape looks like, it's critical that businesses understand the widespread influence that industry events can have while also staying up-to-date on the latest when it comes to the economy, shipping capacity and industry best practices.
Quarterly Industry Report: Q1 of 2019-
Three months into 2019, the industry has already experienced a number of developments impacting shippers and carriers alike. For example, we've recently seen events such as the bomb cyclone, flooding in the Midwest and the ongoing gridlock at the U.S.-Mexico Border impact supply chains across North America and directly affect the freight market. It's critical for organizations to understand the widespread influence that these types of individual events can have while also keeping up-to-date on the latest when it comes to capacity, freight and the economy.

One of those days again. I start writing. Scribble down thoughts. First in my journal. Sometimes in the app on my phone. Usually in a draft blog online. But I don't get to finish it. I am either too tired. The internet is too slow, or I simply just don't actually know what to say and how to make sense of my words. So by now it's day 335. My lungs still hurt. I slept long this morning, which isn't really common for me, but sometimes really needed. I rested. Even though I really don't like the feeling of being unproductive, I really need it these days. With lots of changes that make me tired, physically and emotionally I just need time to let everything sink in and just see where I stand in it all. Here are some of the scattered thoughts that I collected yesterday and today.
"When I met my girlfriend, soon-to-be wife, we both immediately connected over this idea of the training farm, the company that we both wanted to start. If it weren't for her, it would probably still be an idea, a dream. Not reality. I've realized that I would have never been able to do this on my own." Words spoken by one of the guests in the podcast I am listening too while it rains heavily and freely translated by me. I want to agree with those words. I believe in the power of relationship. No doubt about it that people, be it lovers, friends, brothers, sisters, neighbours can create and inspire change and impact in lives. I also need people around me to really get me to go beyond what I imagined on my own. Yet for me, as an introvert, many of my creative ideas and big thoughts and reflections always come when I am alone.
This was a podcast about social entrepreneurship, millennials and how to get people to really do what they want to do and are good at with some new sort of behavioural psychology training. I find those topics fascinating. And the podcast series is good. In the conversation with conscious business founders, as they are called by the creators of this podcast, the topic around passion comes up. How do you really become who you want to be? How do you manage stress and become emotionally flexible? The host mentions that the word for passion and suffering is the same in Latin. I never really realised that. Even though I have always loved those classical pieces around Easter. The Mattheus Passion or the Passion of the Christ. It makes a lot of sense that these are related words. Being who you want to be, doing what you love, being in relationship, starting that company you've always dreamed of. It all comes at a cost too. With passion, there's always some suffering involved too.
It reminded me of a conversation I had the night before. A friend of mine who I used to work with when I was still really involved with European politics and with whom I spent many hours in the car driving across Europe, talked about getting married soon. About the long distance part of his relationship in the past year and not wanting to do it again. He is passionate about his girlfriend. He wants to make the relationship work. And I have so much respect for that. He said something along the lines of attachment. Especially detachment. He said: "When she left, we detached from each other. You have to because you live your own lives in different countries. When you are back together you have to attach again. She might want to go abroad again. I saw 'fine, but this time I am coming with you.' I don't want to detach from her again."
It all really got me thinking. It's been on my mind all week. Wanting to go home for a little bit and yet also wanting to be here and stay here. Because I am passionate about what I get to do. I am learning so much in my job, I have wonderful colleagues whom I value more and more every day and I get to make an impact, even though it's only small. And yet, it's a Saturday evening. My body is tired. My mind is tired. I had a glass of wine with my dinner (first time in months that I bought wine, which was a really nice with some frittata and garlic bread from the oven). Alone. And I am totally fine with that. I don't really miss having someone around, I needed the rest more than I thought I would. While at the same time I know that being around people makes me push myself to go after my passion and to work hard. Don't get me wrong. I am very happy on my own, but I need people, I need attachment and I want all of it too.
My thoughts are confusing today. I don't really know where I am going with this blog. I just know that I am where I am. A Saturday by myself in early September 2017. And that with all the big dreams and goals that I have for my life, this is all I have to be for today. That rest, being on my own, with the occasional glass of wine, is so incredibly needed. Call me old, call me boring, call me an introvert. I'm getting myself another glass of wine and I am going to enjoy my quiet, peaceful Saturday evening on the couch. Alone.
p.s. Friend mentioned above told me that I have to stop with my blog on my 25th birthday. He says I then have to start writing that book I've always dreamed of. So who knows what's next…

In a statement to GameCentral over the incident, an EA spokesperson said: 'Our GameChangers program is not designed to pay for review content. We don't believe in that. In this case, the conditions for disclosure for this specific video were not met – which is something we adhere very strictly to – so we asked for it to be taken down and corrected.
'We've not asked for the content of the video to be changed, or "blacklisted" the creator. Our full disclosure rules can be found here.'
Original story
YouTuber Gggmanlives has claimed publisher EA forced him to take down his paid review of Anthem after criticising the game, having breached his Game Changers contract.
The EA Game Changers initiative is a community partnership programme which works with influencers to provide content for the company – ranging from sponsored reviews and guides to early gameplay videos.
After being paid for the content, Gggmanlives uploaded his review of Anthem with a number of criticisms about the game – particularly calling out 'horrendous' loading times and poor frame rate.
EA says it encourages Game Changers members to be 'honest' in their content, but shortly after the review was published, Gggmanlives was allegedly asked to take down the review and remove the EA watermarks which signpost he's a member of the programme.
Speaking to VG247, Gggmanlives claimed he 'wasn't allowed to say anything negative' if he had the watermark in the video, adding: 'I was just told it was to be pulled down and was basically a breach of contract or something along those lines.'
In response to Gggmanlive's claims on Twitter, that he'd been blacklisted by the company, EA's manager of community engagement, Lee Williams refuted the claims, writing: 'Just want to clear something up.
'Nobody has been blacklisted by us, our team in Australia asked the video be taken down because some of our conditions on disclosure on sponsored weren't met. Nothing to do with the content of the video.'
'We encourage the Game Changers to be honest in their content, it's one of the most important parts of the programme and the community trusts them because of that honesty. Feel free to ask me or any of the Game Changers about how it works.'
After Gggmanlives replied back saying he was being honest, Lee responded: 'I believe that you were giving your honest opinion on the game man, like I said we encourage the Game Changers to do that and you've not been blacklisted.
'I'm sorry you felt this way about the whole thing.'
His review has since been uploaded without the watermarks which you can watch below.
It's an eye-opening reminder of the differences between content creators and traditional media outlets, where the lines between advertising and editorial become far blurrier, and messier, for YouTubers.
Gggmanlives isn't exactly the only one criticising Anthem, with GameCentral's review similarly picking fault with the game's poor attempt to emulate Destiny.

His Silent love – Chapter 18
Chapter -18- Give in or back off
"That.was.hot" I grinned at Chloe who came from the dance floor and grinned at us. "Ben and Chloe. You guys freaking dance spectacularly" Yuvi remarked leaning back against the wall and taking a sip from his drink.
"Ola" Theo appeared sliding beside us, "You guys liking the party till now?" I nodded giving him a thumbs again. "Honestly, it's pretty good. You don't have those crazily drunk teenagers or wild sex on the tables going on. It's a great party"
I told him and he smiled triumphantly. "Have you seen Kunj?" Yuvi asks me and I raise an eyebrow at him, "Why are you asking me that? How would I know" I scoffed rolling my eyes.
"I don't know. You guys are practically attached by hip so yeah" Maira smirked at me and I showed her the finger. "Not true at all"
"Oh. There he is" Chloe pointed at Kunj who had his arms wrapped around Melody saying something in her ear and she showed her pirahna teeth laughing wildly.
Kunj's gaze somehow snapped towards me as if knowing I was glaring at them. I haven't talked or came face to face with him after our argument in the mall. And that's kinda good.
Because one more time, he even accidentally crosses the boundary line. I'll snap his body in half.
Ouch. That's violent.
And kinda exciting.
"I'll be back" I muttered and walked towards the bar in the corner settling down one of the stools. "Pincer vodka, please" I mumbled at the bartender and he nodded giving me a thumbs up.
"Woah woah, sister. That's some strong shit" Dhruv remarked settling down the on still beside me and I glared at him. "Honestly, Dhruv. Don't you even dare talk about shit. Because you are one whole of an ass. Who's got his shit in deep and strong shit since long" I snapped at him.
He blinked taken aback.
Wow. Weren't those some really sensible and logical words?
Even the bartender looked on wide eyed and slowly slid the glass towards me carefully. I snatched the drink gulping it down in one go.
Damn it.
That fucking burns like hell.
"Another shot" I mumbled coughing and the bartender looked on hesitant. His gaze landing back and forth between me and Dhruv. "I said another one" I slammed a hand against the counter and he nodded hurriedly.
Why am I being harsh on this guy?
Yes, just because of my dimwit brother and that airhead Kunj.
I ordered two more and by the end of it, the affect started kicking in.
"Twinkle- you need to stop" Dhruv tried to grab my glass but I slapped his hand away. "You need to stop, you coward" I hissed at him. "You have hurt my best friend"
Dhruv's hand stopped midway and he blinked startled at me. A frown made his way to his forehead and I could clearly see the guilt adorning his face.
"Go away" I gulped down the drink from the glass and sighed, "Fine. I'll go" I hopped down from the stool but stumbled on my heel quickly placing a hand on the counter.
"I am fine. I am fine" I muttered and looked on as Dhruv dashed outside the doors and out of sight.
"Bitch" I mumbled at Dhruv shaking my head and gingerly stumbled towards the dance floor. I grinned eyeing a very familiar ginger guy, "Draxe" I shouted over the music tapping his shoulder and he turned around smiling.
"Twinkle" he leaned down kissing my cheek and I tried to smile but I knew it looked more like a grimace.
That felt wrong.
But why doesn't it feels wrong when Kunj does that?
Maybe because. I don't know…
"You look incredible" He eyed me smirking and I smiled. "Thank you. Wanna dance?" He immediately nodded taking my hand and leading me to the middle of the floor.
The song changed and Draxe smiled, "Let's see what you've got" I winked at him the alcohol totally consuming my mind and pushed my self closer to him wrapping my arms around his neck.
I swayed my head along with the music with Draxe hands on my hips leading my moves. Just as the beats got faster I turned around my back pressing dangerously close with Draxe's .
I moved my hips in a slow circular motion and Draxe tightened his arms around me his left jaw touching my neck.
I felt nauseous, feeling almost guilty and bad by his touch but my mind just swam towards Kunj and Melody. Kissing each other all the time.
I closed my eyes shut trying to pour out my frustration through the dancing. "Do you wanna get out of here?" Draxe whispered and my eyes snapped opened at his words.
That was a mistake because the moment I opened my eyes, I met Kunj's hard and infuriated gaze.
So what?
I told him to stop shoving his ass around in my life. Else he better be ready to receive those hundred degree glowing knives.
He walked towards us with an extremely calm look on his face but I could see the truth behind it.
I smirked wrapping my arms around Draxe's neck from behind and moved my body. Kunj stopped right in front of us and I looked around at the teenagers drunk like me dancing.
"If you don't want me to chop your balls by hundred degree glowing knives" Kunj told Draxe glaring at him, "hands.off.her" he seethed and I could almost see Draxe smirk through his words, "Why? I don't find her having a problem. Twinkle?"
"Nope. Not all. In fact, I am perfectly happy over h-here" I stammered in the end feeling Draxe push himself more against me.
It's coming.
Not the word vomit. But the real one.
"Twinkle. Come with me an-" Before Kunj could finish I half bent down throwing up and felt Draxe push me away forcefully, "The Fuck" I could hear Draxe curse but I couldn't care less.
"Hey. It's okay" I felt a very familiar hand rubbing my back with one hand and the other holding up my hair pulling it to the side. "It's alright. Take a deep breath" Kunj helped me and I coughed nodding.
Kunj wrapped one arm around my waist pulling me close and helped me out of the crowd.
Phew. Every one was busy in their own and most of them wouldn't care anyway that someone threw up.
I took a deep breath once we were outside in the front yard away from all the crowd but I could still hear the music blaring through the speakers.
"Here" Kunj passed me a water bottle and helped me settle on the bench.
We sat there in silence. My mind still buzzing with every thing that's been happening today. And moreover, the alcohol isn't even helping.
"Feeling better?" Kunj asks turning around to face and shifted closer. I gave him a small nod playing with the bottle. "Twinkle" he called out and I hummed in response.
"Who's peaches I have to kick?" he shifted closer placing a hand on my cheek stroking it lightly. "What?" I asked unable to concentrate because of his hand that felt almost painfully soothing.
"Something's wrong, right?" he asks whispering, "You never drink. This was your first" I unconsciously bit my lip at his words and his gaze snapped towards my lips.
"Everyone here is so fucked up" I pouted my lips whispering back. His gaze snapped back on my lips and he leaned in. His nose touching mine way too dangerously.
"I know right" He mumbled stroking his thumb along the curve of my cheek, "It's because of me right?"
"Yes" I muttered closing my eyes, "You. Everyone else. You confuse me a lot Kunj" I frowned, "And you probably are on top of 'assholes' list in the world"
I shoved him back glaring at him, "I, Twinkle Taneja, declare that I hate you from the core of my heart wholeheartedly" I pointed at my chest standing up but stumbled only to be held back by him.
"Don't do this" I mumbled resting my head against his chest, "It's infuriating and saddening. Just back off or give in"
"Backing off is hard" He sighed, his hand stroking my hair, "But giving in is way more harder"
I felt my chest tighten at his words and I groaned mentally feeling my eyes moisten at his words.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
"You know what" I cried out frustrated and pushed him away with all force I could muster. "I don't fucking care. You aren't the last guy breathing around. All these fucking stupid jumbled up feelings I have for you. It.will.go.away"
I seethed and was about fall back again but someone wrapped their arms around. "Let's get you back to your room" I heard Theo's voice from behind me.
I gave Kunj a final glance but all I got was an expressionless look back.
This is the end of whatever we had.
Helloooo ?
I shouldn't be smiling right? After all, Kunj and Twinkle just fought?
Well, let's what you guys think about it. And I hope you liked this chapter.
Next chapter coming up with Kunj's pov. Who's excited!
Thanks for liking on the last chapter. Like this one too.

First, a big and heartfelt thanks to all those who responded to our request for financial help... And now it's on to the Utah Supreme Court
By: Utahns for Ethical Government
Dear Supporters,
First, a big and heartfelt thanks to all those who responded to our request for financial help. Thanks to you, we actually exceeded our $15,000 goal and can proceed to fully pay for our survey as well as pay our current and upcoming court filing fees and minimal operational costs, as we prepare our appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. Your response was heart warming and very much appreciated.
Second, you may have read an account in the newspaper of the final lower court ruling by Judge Todd Shaughnessy of Utah's Third District Court. We mentioned in our earlier communication that the Judge ruled a few weeks ago that UEG had one year in which to gather signatures ( :-), while at the same time ruling that e-signatures could not be used for our initiative (:-(. A surprising third ruling was issued after a subsequent hearing before the Judge on certain facts remaining in dispute. The ruling states that the count of eligible signatures must be based on the number of votes cast for President of the U.S. in 2008 rather than on the number of votes cast for Governor in that election. This is a significant difference because several thousand more people vote for President than for Governor. The judge's decision was based on a 2011 Utah law that stiffened the requirements long after our actual signature gathering effort had been completed. We believe that we collected enough signatures under the old requirement but not enough if we are bound by the new requirement.
We were surprised and dismayed to discover that all of us could work so hard to gather signatures believing that one standard existed, and then learn after we have completed our work that the standard was changing! We, of course, think that applying the 2011 law is fundamentally unfair, but it has a basis in law that we will be challenging on appeal as inapplicable in our case.
The Utah Supreme Court decision will be very interesting and important to all Utahns. We are finalizing our appeal at this moment, requesting an expedited decision because of the time pressure as the election approaches.
We will continue to keep you posted.
Yours in solidarity,
Kim Burningham, Chair

Utah politics par excellence. Once it became apparent that UEG had collected the requisite signatures to enact REAL Ethics reform legislation, the bought and paid for Corporo-Fascists in the Utah Churchislature Legislature took the tyrant's way out, and just moved the "goalpost back," WAY outta reach.
Sad, very sad

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Two more Philadelphia public schools will become "community schools," with an infusion of extra services for students and their families. The expansion is smaller than was planned.
Community schools are one part of Mayor Jim Kenney's anti-poverty program, designated for funding from the beverage tax. They launched last year with nine schools and Kenney had hoped to add five more this year.
"Unfortunately the ongoing, ad nauseum litigation against the Philadelphia beverage tax means we can't expand at that rate right now. And this is very frustrating," he said.
Kenney settled for two: Samuel Gompers Elementary and George Washington High School, where senior Sana Ahmadi says students are excited.
"We can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on the student body," said Ahmadi.
Though the smaller expansion is a disappointment, Council President Darrell Clarke says it's still a step forward.
"To stand here today and be in a position to talk about the next round is a very exciting thing," said Clarke.
The schools will decide which services they need most. Last year, schools provided food, clothing, job connections, counseling and adult education, among other things.

The UK's highest-paid university vice-chancellor is leaving Bath and pocketing an extra £700k on her way out
After Dame Glynis Breakwell's £486,000 a year salary led to a failed no-confidence vote, she has agreed to vacate her position - but not until 2019, and not without one final fat payout
A UNIVERSITY chief who clung to her £486,000-a-year job by surviving a no-confidence vote is to stand down after pocketing a further £700,000.
Dame Glynis Breakwell, the UK's highest-paid vice-chancellor, announced yesterday she would leave Bath University in August.
She will then have a six-month paid research "sabbatical" before going.
Former education minister Lord Adonis called the deal "outrageous".
He tweeted: "She is staying as a lame duck until next August & will then be on full pay for another six months — i.e. she will be paid about £700,000 to go."
Last week's vote was sparked by lecturers saying she was paid too much. More protests were planned this week.

Murrieta's Well the Spur 2014
Winemaker's Notes:
The Spur is crafted from blending the classic Bordeaux varietals with Petite Sirah to create a distinctly Livermore Valley fruit expression. Each varietal in this blend is farmed, harvested, and handcrafted individually to achieve their greatest expression. This vintage features aromas and flavors of vanilla, spiced cranberry, and clove with graham cracker and blueberries on the palate. Assertive tannins and round body create a lasting and elegant mouthfeel. Enjoy through 2022.
Editorial Reviews for Murrieta's Well the Spur
31% Petite Sirah, 29% Petite Verdot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc Inky and earthy on the nose with stemmy herb notes, lots of American oak vanilla and saw dust on the nose which is rugged and raw. Tight and raw on entry as well, though this does show some nicey ripe soft tannins but there are plenty of them, along with moderately firm acids, or perhaps just lean fruit today that makes this seem to be quite structured. There's some nice delicate blue plum and earthy blueberry fruit here, broad transparent and taut on the palate, with a nicely austere finish, long and nuanced with bitter chocolate, spicy and ivy accents to the decidedly blue fruits. Needs some time in the bottle to fully integrate, I would imagine this will be better in 6 to 12 months. 87pts

Russian company backs Sharapova in lollipop form
A Russian confectionery company is backing suspended tennis player Maria Sharapova by releasing a lollipop bearing her likeness.
St Petersburg-based confectioner Rubiscookies unveiled the sweets in a show of support for the Russian former world number one, who is at the centre of a doping scandal after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium, and faces a ban of up to four years, Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid reports.
"We have always been inspired by Maria Sharapova as an athlete and a public figure, and do not doubt for a second her talent and capabilities," a Rubiscookies spokesperson said in a statement. "So we are not going to wait for the situation to be resolved. We want to support Maria in the only way we know, by releasing a collector's edition lollipop with her face. It is made of sugar, with no meldonium at all."
Indeed, the lollipop comes with a ticket bearing a photo of Sharapova and the slogan: "100% Sharapova; no meldonium".
Each lollipop costs 50 roubles ($0.70; £0.50) with half of the revenues going to charitable projects supported by the tennis star. On April Fool's day 2015, the company released a lollipop featuring politician Vitaliy Milonov, known for spearheading laws against "LGBT propaganda" in Russia.
It's not the first time Sharapova has been involved in the world of confectionary. In 2013, she released her own line of "boutique" sweets called Sugarpova, which was criticised at the time by anti-junk food advocates as "irresponsible marketing".

ST 22 1 0 I feel the core of the squad from that great run back in 2007 (Particularly Gordon, Hutton, Fletcher, McFadden) should form the spine of our squad. We've got an impressively low average age (only two players over 30!), and the goals are spread across the squad quite broadly. I reckon Levein should stick to the core of this squad and let them build up a decent caps total and get used to playing with one another. First XI (all fit and playing to ability): Gordon Hutton Caldwell Berra Bardsley Fletcher Adam Morrison Brown McFadden Miller I'd be much happier though if Hanley and Wilson could force their way into the centre back slots. And we need to get confidence in another striker who would play in Miller's position (Fletcher or Goodwillie would seem good candidates. Otherwise Griffiths might come through at Wolves?). Either way It'd be great if we could find a robbie keane type i.e. a goal every other game...Kris Boyd looked like the answer a few years back but it's all went skeewiff since then for him and Scotland. Backup players who could put pressure on this squad with a run of good form would be: David Marshall Kirk Broadfoot Russell Martin Shaun Maloney James McArthur Robert Snodgrass Jamie Mackie Kris Boyd Ross McCormack Craig Mackail-Smith Chris Maguire That's my tuppence. Any really strong candidates I've missed?

New York Mets ace Rick Aguilera wore this gray Mets pullover jersey during the 1987 MLB season. Aguilera went 11-3 for the Mets in 1987, maintaining a 3.60 ERA for the 92-70 Mets. This gray jersey has "New York" and Aguilera's number "15" sewn on the chest in blue and orange tackle twill. "AGUILERA" and a second "15" are sewn on the back of the jersey, also in blue and orange tackle twill. A Rawlings tag and an "87 2 15" swatch are sewn inside the front left tail of this year road style. A "Set 1 1987" flag is attached to the Rawlings tag. The set number is different due to the strip tag being an actual set number and the flag tag has a set number referring to time of ordering from Rawlings (before the season). This is an odd Rawlings tag used in a small number of MLB games - 1987 only. This jersey comes with a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.

His 80th birthday celebration, which would have been on September 23, 2010, was marked with the indelible release of undiscovered masters titled "Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters".
Around the end of 1979 I had the distinct honor of being hired to work for Ray Charles Enterprises. Although my employment there was brief, every day that I walked through the doors at 2107 W. Washington Blvd., the building that Ray Charles had built in 1964 in the historic area of Los Angeles called Harvard Heights (formerly known as Sugar Hill), I felt I was a part of living history. As a sidebar, I received a great deal of attention because my last name is Charles – people seemed to have either forgotten or they didn't know that Ray's last name was Robinson and he shortened to Ray Charles; Charles being his middle name.
The building that once housed this great American master, is now a seven room museum open to the public and catering to school age children including children with disabilities. On display you will find items like his many gold records to his beautiful and colorful specially designed brocade jackets that he wore when he performed. Of special interest is the state of the art expansive recording studio.
The museum is run by the Ray Charles Foundation which is a non-profit corporation started by Ray in 1986. The current Foundation President is Valerie Ervin, who worked as an executive assistant to Joe Adams for many years. Joe Adams was a career long friend, manager and Executive Vice President of Ray Charles Enterprises until he retired in 2008. He now serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors which include – Rev. Cecil Murray, Ronald Boyd, Ramsey Jay, Jr., and Diana Treister. The foundation owns and is the licensing agency for Ray Charles musical legacy.
Staying true to Ray Charles strong commitment to the arts and education, the specific purpose of the foundation has been to administer funds for scientific, educational and charitable purposes; to encourage, promote and educate through grants to institutions and organizations as to causes and cures of diseases and disabilities of the hearing impaired.
Non-profit organizations whose mission correlates to that of the foundation can apply for grants by visiting the website for grant application instruction and deadlines www.theraycharlesfoundation.org.
Ray Charles is without a doubt a precious icon who will be forever linked to our community, through his music, his landmark building and his foundation.

Few foods are as divisive as hamburgers, so we're wading into controversial territory with our take on Toronto's top 10. Still, it must be done. If we missed a great one, let us know. Next week: part II of this series.
The Beaconsfield
The impossibly thick, slightly spicy patty comes with aged cheddar, roasted tomatoes and caramelized onions on a light, squish-able bun. The burger comes halved, so you can take in the sight of its meaty, juicy height. With salad and frites, $16. 1154 Queen St. W., 416-516-2550.
Royal Meats Barbeque
This is the place for seriously hearty Serbian-style burgers. The one-pound pork-and-veal patty comes on a house-made, lepinya bun, (much like a thick pita), topped with kaymak (cream cheese-like spread). Meal, $15.80. 710 Kipling Ave., 416-251-1144.
Craft Burger
Craft is quick and affordable, but fast food this is not. The flavours meld perfectly in the Craft Spicy, a six-ounce patty topped with caramelized onions and chipotle mayo. Meal, $10.15. 573 King St. West, 416-596-6660; 830 Yonge St. 416-922-8585.
The Queen and Beaver

What could be better than one minute videos on corseting and corsetry? Probably many things, including nutella and baby animals, but I have decided to go ahead and make these fun and silly little one minute videos anyways.
I realised that I've been intermittent with my corseting videos and thought this was a nice way to get information out there while not tying it to a waist goal (since I've been SOOOO physically lazy this recent few months!!)
Over Xmas 2015 I started my writing on a TV series idea and decided to really enjoy my holiday in the UK. Loose corsets, roasted potatoes and lots of chocolate for me! Since then I have felt great and have continued with my less strict whole foods (and far too much chocolate) eating styles. My waist is starting to droop over my belt line but I feel surprisingly carefree about it all.
However, I return to my waist training and waist goals of 23″ (one day) and shall upload the next video in my waist training diary when I'm smaller than my last entry of 27.5″ and back to being less super-lazybones.
Herein you will find my one minute videos from my Pearls & Arsenic Corsetry YouTube channel.
Some of them have a topic and others are just thoughts on corsetry that pop into my head in the space of a minute.
If you have any questions on corsets that you'd like to see me answer, just leave a comment here or on my Pearls & Arsenic Youtube channel.
Fabulously eccentric actress, TV host, curvaceous model and founder of Hong Kong 's first luxury corset brand, Pearls & Arsenic. I love sharing my passion for all things elegant, beautiful & inspiring. My Dearest Beloved and I live with a fluffy Angora rabbit named Lord Pemberly III, who is a ridiculous snob, and his dwarf-lop bunny brother, The Earl of Tillington.

Aztec Ball Court Discovered by Archaeologists in Mexico City
The remains of a major Aztec temple and a ceremonial ball court have been discovered in downtown Mexico City, shedding new light on the sacred spaces of the metropolis that Spanish conquerors overran five centuries ago.
The discoveries were made on a nondescript side street just behind the city's colonial-era cathedral, off the main Zocalo plaza, on the grounds of a 1950s-era hotel.
The underground excavations reveal a section of what was the foundation of a massive, circular-shaped temple dedicated to the Aztec wind god Ehecatl and a smaller part of a ritual ball court, confirming accounts of the first Spanish chroniclers to visit the Aztec imperial capital, Tenochtitlan.
RELATED: Archaeologists Find Aztec Sacrificial Temple's Main Skull Rack
"Due to finds like these, we can show actual locations, the positioning and dimensions of each one of the structures first described in the chronicles," said Diego Prieto, head of Mexico's main anthropology and history institute.
Archaeologists also detailed a grisly offering of 32 severed male neck vertebrae discovered in a pile just off the court.
"It was an offering associated with the ball game, just off the stairway," said archaeologist Raul Barrera. "The vertebrae, or necks, surely came from victims who were sacrificed or decapitated."
Some of the original white stucco remains visible on parts of the temple, built during the 1486-1502 reign of Aztec Emperor Ahuizotl, predecessor of Moctezuma, who conquistador Hernan Cortes toppled during the Spanish conquest of Mexico.

Chad's Constitutional Council has upheld President Idriss Deby's re-election to a fifth term, confirming the results of last month's vote that the opposition had challenged.
In final results, the council said Chad's leader of 26 years won 59.92 percent of the vote, compared with 12.77 percent for opposition leader Saleh Kebzabo and 10.61 percent for Laoukein Kourayo Medard, mayor of Moundou city.
In announcing the results, the council rejected an appeal by eight opposition candidates to invalidate the April 10 election over voting irregularities.
Council president Nagoum Yamassoum said all appeals "must be individual" and that a group request was "not admissible".
The opposition called Deby's re-election in the first round of the ballot an "electoral stick-up", saying their own count showed no candidate won outright at the first stage.
Kebzabo and five other failed presidential candidates called for a general strike on Thursday to protest the results.
The election campaign was marred by a clampdown on demonstrations by unions and rights groups demanding a change of leadership and democratic reforms. Several leading activists were arrested. Some have since left the country.
The situation in the oil-producing semi-desert country, a key player in the fight against west African jihadist groups, remains tense.
Amnesty International and the Chadian League of Human Rights have reported the disappearance of several soldiers and police officers suspected of having supported opposition candidates.
