North Korea, or the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is classified as a Communist country, and has been the topic of many political occurrences. However, not very many people truly know what North Korea is. This is due to the fact that North Korea tries its best to remain isolated from most of the world, and remains to be very secretive. Another reason to this is thanks to the movie The Interview.
This being said, The Interview does have many truths, but a lot of it is simply political satire and at some points exaggerated. Unfortunately, many people are still oblivious of the truths and brutality of North Korea. North Korea is truly a mysterious place that still leaves many secrets left uncovered.
First off, North Korea can be classified as a more radical or extreme socialist society. The government, headed by Kim Jong Un, oversees much of the nation's economy. Not only that, but many people's lives are monitored by Un's followers. Kim Jong Un's way of leading his country effectively causes him to be a dictator of a totalitarian society.
Unfortunately, no one is completely safe in North Korea. Many citizens are publically executed and are the ones that aren't dead may be on the verge of starvation. Not even Kim's most loyal followers are safe, because there have been reports that he's ordered the execution of various government officials that were considered loyal to him. Members of his family aren't completely safe either, as Kim Jong Un had executed his uncle, and his brother is supposedly living his life in hiding.
A great question rises as well, how does Kim feed his people? Due to there being a shortage of food in North Korea, people are fed based on their family history. The amount someone is fed, is dependent on the actions of their past ancestors. The government then judges how trustworthy these people can be and that determines how much they get to eat. If you or any of your family is deemed suspicious, there is a great chance that you may be executed or sent to a prison/labor camp.
North Korea, does have one strength, and it's their military. Although they may not be as advanced as the U.S when it comes to their equipment, the North Korean army is the largest in the world. Their ground troops have the most active soldiers out of any one of their military branches. There's also the rumor of their nuclear weapons circulating around. Although they do have nuclear weapons, they aren't a threat to America. North Korea is really only an immediate threat to nations surrounding it. The North Korean nukes, are unable to get all the way across the pacific ocean, and may only be able to reach Japan.
The worst thing about North Korea, in my opinion is how the people view Kim Jong Un. Most people blindly believe in his propaganda. A lot of the citizens view Kim as a god and see that he's their savior who's protecting them from countless external threats. For those that don't believe the propaganda, have to face the brutality of his heartless regime. There have been countless stories and accounts given to us by defectors who have seeked refuge in South Korea. Through their testimonies we get a better picture of the hermit nation. We know of the horrors that take place, like living human medical experiments and the everyday life for an average citizen.
North Korea, although still a mystery, is slowly being revealed to the rest of the world. The isolated hermit nation still has many secrets hidden and little by little we are discovering more information. It is through the courage and sacrifice of many defectors and the efforts of many nations, such as the U.S and South Korea, that we are able to get a better understanding of that terrible place. One day, the entire truth will be revealed and the entire world, including his most loyal citizens and followers, will see the real face of Kim Jong Un's regime.

Basic Trope: Ruins that make no sense as buildings.
- Straight: A dungeon that has many dead ends and seems to have served no valid purpose.
- Exaggerated: A dungeon that has so many dead ends, Alien Geometries, and ludicrous Death Traps that would make using it for anything would be nigh impossible.
- Justified: We're told that the ruins were made as part of an "interactive entertainment experience".
- Inverted: The ruins make perfect sense to the audience, but are discovered After the End by a different species.
- Subverted: Under the dust, the ruins are a Super Multi-Purpose Room filled with Lost Technology just waiting to be activated.
- Double Subverted: Under the dust, there is what seems to be a Super Multi-Purpose Room filled with Lost Technology just waiting to be activated. It's really all just a very shiny Red Herring, though.
- Parodied: "It says here 'And ye shall dig a maze in the earth, that adventurers may venture therein and wonder Who Builds This Stuff Anyway?' I think that's supposed to be us."
- The ruins turn out to have been built pre-ruined, just because a nice set of ruins is good for the area's ambiance.
- Deconstructed: As it turns out, the ruins make perfect sense: They were built to attract adventurers thousands of years after their building, so the monster living inside can have some nice dietary supplements on an occasional basis.
- Reconstructed: Same as above, except the monster was a good guy all along and designed the dungeon to attract the Chosen One.
- Zig Zagged: Under the dust, the ruins are full of Lost Technology, but it's all broken down, so it's only purpose is to lure adventuring parties to the monsters who set up shop there, but the Gadgeteer Genius is able to repair some of the machinery, but the computer systems that run it are based on old dungeon-crawling RPGs... (continue zigzags ad nauseam)
- Averted: The ruins make perfect sense; they look like a ruined watchtowers, sewers, citadels, temples, or whatever.
- Enforced: "OK, and we need another dungeon here. It's just for a Fetch Quest, so don't worry too much about it."
- Lampshaded: "What was this building for, anyway?" "I dunno."
- Invoked: "We'll need some tough adventurers to help us on the road ahead. Let's put up some fake ruins and hire whoever discovers them."
- Defied: "You've been playing too many video games. Ruins always served a purpose of some kind when they were built. If you examine the placement of the pillars here..." (some time later) "...which, when all put together, clearly suggests it's a Precursor temple to Crystal Dragon Jesus."
- Discussed: "You've been playing too many video games. Ruins always served a purpose of some kind when they were built; we're just having a hard time figuring out what this building was used for."
- Conversed: "It's fine as a video game level... but seriously, who'd actually build something like this?"
- Plotted A Perfectly Good Waste: The ruins make no sense as buildings because they were never buildings to begin with. They look like ruins to disguise that their origins are much more recent, and they're currently in use by someone with big, nasty plans.

Generic Name: teriflunomide (ter i FLOO noe mide)
Brand Names: Aubagio
Medically reviewed by Philip Thornton, DipPharm. Last updated on Jun 3, 2020.
What is Aubagio?
Aubagio (teriflunomide) affects the immune system and reduces swelling and inflammation in the nervous system.
Aubagio is used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in adults (including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease).
Aubagio is not a cure for MS.
Important InformationDo not use Aubagio if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. You will need to have a negative pregnancy test before starting this treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment or within 2 years after your treatment ends.
Teriflunomide can cause severe liver problems. You should not use this medicine if you have severe liver disease or if you are also taking leflunomide (Arava). Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver disease.
Call your doctor at once if you have signs of liver problems: upper stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Your doctor may need to test your liver function up to 6 months before you start taking Aubagio, and then every month when you first start taking this medicine.
Teriflunomide can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to get sick from being around others who are ill. While using Aubagio, you may need blood tests every 6 months. Your blood pressure will also need to be checked often.
After you stop taking Aubagio, the drug could stay in your body for up to 2 years. You may need to be treated with other medications to help your body eliminate teriflunomide quickly. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use Aubagio if you are allergic to teriflunomide or leflunomide, or if:
you have severe liver disease; or
you are also taking leflunomide (Arava).
Do not use Aubagio if you are pregnant or may become pregnant You will need to have a negative pregnancy test before starting this treatment. Avoid getting pregnant until after you stop taking this medicine and undergo a "drug elimination" procedure to help rid your body of this medicine. Stop taking Aubagio and call your doctor right away if you miss a period or think you might be pregnant.
To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
liver or kidney disease;
high blood sugar;
skin problems when taking medicines;
a fever, or uncontrolled infections;
breathing problems;
tuberculosis; or
nerve problems, such as neuropathy.
Use birth control to prevent pregnancy while you are taking this medicine. After you stop taking Aubagio, continue using birth control until you have received blood tests to make sure the drug has been eliminated from your body.
If you become pregnant while taking Aubagio or within 2 years after you stop, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry. This is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and to evaluate any effects of teriflunomide on the baby.
If you are a man, use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy if your sex partner is able to get pregnant. After your treatment ends, keep using birth control until you have received the medications to help your body eliminate teriflunomide.
You should not breastfeed while using this medicine.
How should I take Aubagio?
Before you start treatment with Aubagio, your doctor may perform tests to make sure you do not have tuberculosis or other infections.
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
You may take Aubagio with or without food.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often.
Teriflunomide can lower your blood cell counts. Your blood will need to be tested often. Your treatment may be delayed based on the results.
After you stop taking Aubagio, you may need to be treated with other medicines to help your body eliminate teriflunomide quickly. If you do not undergo this drug elimination procedure, teriflunomide could stay in your body for up to 2 years. Follow your doctor's instructions.
You will also need to go through this drug elimination procedure if you plan to become pregnant after you stop taking this medicine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Aubagio dosing information
Usual Adult Dose for Multiple Sclerosis:
7 mg or 14 mg orally once a day
Use: Treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking Aubagio?
Avoid being near people who have colds, the flu, or other contagious illnesses. Contact your doctor at once if you develop signs of infection.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while using Aubagio, and for at least 6 months after you stop taking it. The vaccine may not work as well during this time, and may not fully protect you from disease. Live vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), rotavirus, typhoid, yellow fever, varicella (chickenpox), zoster (shingles), and nasal flu (influenza) vaccine.
Aubagio side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Aubagio (hives, difficult breathing, swelling in your face or throat) or a severe skin reaction (fever, sore throat, burning eyes, skin pain, red or purple skin rash with blistering and peeling).
Stop using this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:
numbness or tingling in your hands or feet that feels different from your MS symptoms;
trouble breathing, new or worsening cough with or without fever;
signs of infection - fever, chills, body aches, nausea, vomiting, feeling tired; or
liver problems - upper stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Common Aubagio side effects may include:
nausea, diarrhea;
thinning hair; or
abnormal liver function tests.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect Aubagio?
Sometimes it is not safe to use certain medications at the same time. Some drugs can affect your blood levels of other drugs you take, which may increase side effects or make the medications less effective.
Your doctor may need to adjust the doses of any other medicines you take on a regular basis.
Many drugs can interact with teriflunomide. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed here. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any medicine you start or stop using.
Further information
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Aubagio only for the indication prescribed.
Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the information displayed on this page applies to your personal circumstances.

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration notified international partners on Thursday that it's pulling out of a treaty that permits 30-plus nations to conduct unarmed, observation flights over each other's territory — overflights initially set up to promote trust and avert conflict between the US and Russia, foreign media reported.
The administration says it wants out of the Open Skies Treaty because Russia is violating the pact and imagery collected during the flights can be obtained quickly at less cost from U.S. or commercial satellites. Exiting the treaty, however, is expected to strain relations with Moscow and upset some members of Congress and European allies, which benefit from the imagery collected by Open Skies flights conducted by the US.
President Dwight Eisenhower first proposed the United States and the former Soviet Union allow aerial reconnaissance flights over each other's territory in July 1955. At first, Moscow rejected the idea, but President George H.W. Bush revived it in May 1989, and the treaty entered into force in January 2002. Thirty-four nations have signed it; Kyrgyzstan has signed but not ratified it.
More than 1,500 flights have been conducted under the treaty, aimed at fostering transparency about military activity and helping monitor arms control and other agreements. Each nation in the treaty agrees to make all its territory available for surveillance flights and share all the imagery collected, yet Russia has restricted flights over certain areas.
Alexandra Bell, a former State Department official and currently the senior policy director at the nonpartisan nonprofit Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, said withdrawal from Open Skies will rub allies the wrong way.
"I absolutely cannot see a single upside to abandoning this treaty against the advice and wishes of our allies, other than for the people who never liked this treaty and don't like the idea of the transparency and openness the treaty provides," Bell said.

Thinking about a weekend shopping trip on a budget? Do you like unique items that are one-of-a-kind? Thrifting, or second-hand shopping, is often a cheaper route with benefits to the environment and local charities.

Things that are fit to sell are dispersed throughout Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Donated items that would have ended up in a landfill are put to good use with a second life at Goodwill.
"I love working at Goodwill because it's a perfect match for my greatest passions: helping the environment and helping people," said Director of Marketing, Jessica Winter. "I'd like people to know they're doing a ton of good simply by shopping and supporting our work, which extends into many areas that touch thousands of people's lives."
Your purchases and donations not only help the environment, but they give others job and life skills.

Lewis Center, Lighthouse for the Blind of the Palm Beaches, Deaf Services Program, Headway Brain Injury Program, and Florida Department of Corrections and PBSO's Justice Services, among many others.

It's been over a year since Anushka debuted her new and unimproved jawline post plastic surgery. And it will probably be several more before we can look her in the face without mourning the loss of the stunning beauty we knew from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
Kangana Ranaut
The beautiful Girl who debuted in Gangster with her mighty locks and pretty innocent face has now turned into something else given the hours spent at a plastic surgeon's clinic.
Shilpa Shetty
After Shilpa's botched first nose job, she had another to correct her nose, along with several Botox injections. Now, we know where Entrepreneur husband Raj Kundra's cash flows.
Rakhi Sawant
The wannabe actress has gone on record to state that doctors can give you all that God fails to, but we somehow just lost count, and interest, after the 97854th nose and lip job.
Koena Mitra
Like I mentioned, these surgeries can be tricky buggers and now poor Koena Mitra is living with the after affects of a botched nose job. Sad!
Gauhar Khan
Gauhar Khan also opted for a lip job and a nose job and it may not have gone all wrong for now but once you get friendly with that needle, it ain't letting you get away, ever!
Minissha Lamba
If only Minissha had spent as many hours in acting classes as she did in the surgeon's clinic getting her nose augmented, her career graph would be painting a different picture today.
Priyanka Chopra
She may refuse to admit it, but her lips sure don't lie, even a baffoon could tell the difference, also these days when the proof lies just a click away..click click!
Karishma Kapoor
Her astonishing makeover from duckling to swan seemed like nothing short of a fairytale, with a skilled surgeon playing the part of the fairy godmother.
Katrina Kaif
Up until now, we thought only her acting skills were plastic but apparently her lips and nose have got a noticeable amount of plastic surgery to their credit as well.
Shruti Hassan
South indian actress and singer has in no way been left behind when it comes to plastic surgery and nose and Lip jobs.
Ayesha Takia
Ayesha may not have had a nose or lip surgery but she's definitely had her fair share of 'plastic' surgery. There's definitely a 'booby' trap in her new looks.

I was looking at the Fan Sub Map hoping to see that someone had volunteered to sub Shukan Maki Yoko ... only to discover that the show isn't even listed as one of the Spring 2008 dramas.
Would someone... a moderator, or just someone who knows more about this stuff than I, add the show to the map?
I'd love to see this show get subbed, but I fear it has very little chance if no one even knows it's airing.
gryzze has already posted the first episode.

A North Carolina was man caught after poaching Venus flytraps from game land, authorities say.
Archie Lee Williams Jr., 41, of Bolivia, N.C., is being held on $750,000 bond after police charged him with 73 counts of "felony taking of Venus flytrap," a carnivorous plant native to the Carolinas region.
He was arrested Saturday in Brunswick County, where stealing the plant or its seeds became a felony in 2014. Local TV station WWAY reported Williams was caught with 216 Venus flytrap plants on him.
The Venus flytrap is one of the few carnivorous plants that exhibit motion to trap its prey. It digests mainly small insects and arachnids.
The plant is considered "vulnerable" and is under consideration for federal listing on the U.S. endangered species list.
The Venus flytrap grows mainly along the North Carolina coastline and is estimated to live up to 20 years. Charles Darwin once called it "one of the most wonderful plants in the world," according to the North Carolina History Project.
A spokeswoman for the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office did not have any additional details. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, which is handling the case, did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday morning.

OLA becomes India's largest cab booking service. It becomes one of the fastest growing business in India. In Dec 2018, OLA was valued at approx. $5.7 billion. At the end of 2019, OLA is planning to launch in 50 cities globally. It solves the public's transport problem gave them a good cab service at a reasonable price. The people who used to travel in local trains with innumerable risks are now going for OLA services.
OLA – India's largest cab booking service
OLA is owned by ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd. commonly known as Olacabs. The company started on 3 December 2010 in Mumbai and after 8 years it was valued at approx. $5.7 billion. Now OLA has a network of ten lakhs vehicles across 169 cities. The company has its office now in Banglore. From one last year, OLA is expanding its services and rides. It makes an OLA ride customer friendly. One can book from a budget auto to luxury cars. This extraordinary feature makes it different from other transport services.
Founders of OLA
Bhavish Aggarwal completed his bachelors in computer science from IIT Bombay in 2008. After that, he started his career with Microsoft Research India. He worked for two years. As entrepreneurship is his passion, so he started with some sort of company which provides short duration tours and holidays online which later on turns into OLA. In January 2011 he co-founded the company with his college mate Ankit Bhati.
Ankit Bhati completed his graduation from IIT Bombay in 2008. He completed his bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and masters in CAD and Automation. He worked with several freelance projects like Wilcom, QED42 etc.
Journey to Startup-idea
The journey of OLA's startup is not so simple as to book a cab on OLA app. There are lots of ups and down. Initially, the company started with OLAtrip.com which provides short duration tours and holidays online. Someday Bhavish had to go from Banglore to Bandipur regarding his business of short duration tours and holidays. So, he takes a taxi, and in the middle of his destination, the driver was negotiating for the rent which he was paying. He refused to pay and had to leave the taxi in the middle of the route. That was a bad experience for him. But later on, this bad experience helps him to build his empire.
Then, he changed his old business into a new one, unique and comfortable way of online cab booking service. And then the domain name change from OLAtrip.com to OLAcabs.com.

Your Weekly Benefits and News Digest, With Flair.
Let's start off on the right foot
"So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great, good fortune." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The skinny
Recent data indicates that employees continue to struggle with financial preparedness, but with the pandemic, more are trying to save for a rainy day.
When it rains, it pours.
That's the motto for 2020 alright. Grab an umbrella and let's splash into it. Early annual enrollment data from employees who enrolled in their benefits this spring and summer in comparison to last fall indicate some interesting findings about how (and which) employees are saving for an unexpected expense. Surprisingly, older generation's financial boats are sinking while younger generations are yachting it.
Who has the pail and who has the dockers?
Gen X and Boomers are bailing, and Gen Z and Millennials are rocking the nautical themed ascots. Well, maybe not that extra. But the data shows that Gen Z and Millennials were able to put more money away mid-COVID while Gen X and Boomers lost some ground.
Well, it seems like Gen Z (being the overachievers that they are) are taking the money that might have gone to dinners out or movies (remember those!) and using that money to pad their health care savings accounts. Instead, some of us are choosing to invest in something more boozy.
And what about X and Boomers?
That answer is a little trickier. It may be that with the financial downturn, many Boomers and Gen Xers are supporting their younger (or older, or both) family members. This could be depleting their savings or lowering how much they put away each month.
Yes. In contrast to the 4% during last fall's annual enrollment, 14% of Gen Z employees enrolling mid-year reported they were prepared for a large, unexpected cost. That's a 250% increase! In contrast, Boomer employees dropped almost 30% when it came to money in their rainy-day fund.
Rain drops keep falling…
On all our heads. But there is some positive news when it comes to saving. The rate of saving among both women and men increased significantly, with women showing a 56% improvement in saving mid-COVID vs. pre-COVID.
Bring on the rainbows!
Not so fast. Although this positive savings trend is something to feel good about, there's still a financial dumpster fire to contend with. Fifty-two percent of employees indicated they are concerned about their financial well-being in the face of COVID-19. While employees are saving more, their level of saving has not yet caught up with their potential need both in terms of out-of-pocket health care costs or an unexpected emergency. Especially with older generations - the sandwich generation (Gen X) is getting hammered since they have to care for (and pay for) both children and aging parents.
Money fact:
More than 40% of Americans admit financial stress make it difficult for them to concentrate at work.
A financier's take:
"The paradox is that if everyone across the broad economy is hunkering down, that only makes the recession worse. The paradox of thrift is a negative feedback loop. The more people save, the less they spend; the less they spend, the worse the recession gets; the worse the recession gets the more they save." – Marc Odo, portfolio manager at Swan Global Investments
Further reading:
2020 MyChoice Recommendation Engine Special Financial Report
Recent poll discovered that almost half of Americans are having serious financial problems since the COVID-19 pandemic with Black and Hispanic individuals getting hit the hardest.
Not good.
Not at all. Many of the people included in the poll reported problems with housing, health care, unsafe work conditions and a very high percentage of Americans (46%) reported having serious financial problems.
What about the government boost?
Sure. The initial relief package helped, but 1/6 households still reported missing or delaying bills in order to afford food. What's more, many who need aid are not receiving it.
And housing?
Black and Latino households were 2x more likely than white families to fall behind on their rent or mortgage payments. And, job wage and losses due to COVID have hit Hispanic adults the hardest with 61% reporting that they or someone in their household had experienced job or wage loss vs. 44% of Black households and 38% of white households.
Where's the safety net?
There isn't much of one. Since Black and Hispanic workers make less, they have less to save and this makes them more vulnerable. What's more, they may not have family members who can afford to help them weather the storm. For every $1 of wealth white families have, Hispanic families have 12 pennies and Black families have 10.
With annual enrollment quickly approaching, it's imperative employers communicate the savings benefits they offer to help employees save for emergency expenses. But keep in mind, benefits communication needs to look different this year.
More virtual?
Right. With many benefits fairs and in-office communication out of the question, virtual benefits fairs are gaining ground. However, keep in mind that those that are the most vulnerable may not have secure or stable internet connections. They may not have a desktop computer at home and only use their phones to use the internet or to access their enrollment platform. Be sure you are prepared and have a plan to reach these individuals to help them enroll in the right benefits that can support them and their families.
Further consideration:
"Systemic racism doesn't just evidence itself in the criminal justice system. It's something that we're seeing taking lives in not just urban America, but rural America, and all types of parts where, frankly, people deserve an equal opportunity to live – to get health care, to get testing, to get tracing." – Quinton Lucas, 3rd Black Mayor of Kansas City, Mo.
HR teams are spending more on benefits, but only half are using analytics to monitor usage levels.
Now, don't shy away from analytics. However, when 55% of HR respondents to a recent survey indicated that they spend 11 hours or more every month manually transferring data to and from providers and HR systems, I don't blame you running for the door. Additionally, "too many data sources" was reported being the biggest challenge to analyzing employee data.
Knock Knock…
It's more data sources! HR pros reported that one of the biggest challenges to analyzing employee data was "too many data sources."
Data dumper.
Sure, that's not ideal. But with so much money going out the door to pay for employee benefits, that's quite an investment to not assess and track ROI. This blind spot can also block future investments.
But, we boosted offerings…
Saw that. Reports have noted that employers reported a boost in some benefits offerings specifically around financial wellness, a usage gap still remains. For example, employees' sense of financial wellness has decreased over time, despite the additional benefits.
Head + wall
Now, there's still hope. It seems like it all comes down to our good friend communication. A Bank of America report found that many employees were simply not aware of certain benefits such as health care savings accounts and caregiving support. According to the report, 88% of employers reported offering caregiver benefits but 71% of employees were not aware of what was available. Moral of the story, communicate, communicate, communicate.
Fun fact:
One benefit that's seen a volcano's worth of utilization, telehealth. Virtual medicine grew 1.6 times since last summer.
Now a break from the news…
Surf's wayyyyy up.

Home > Charity Golf Event
Thursday, October 22, 2015 –
Ancil Hoffman Golf Course
Our sincere thank you for your corporate and personal contributions that helped make our 3rd Annual Sacramento County Golf Tournament a tremendous success!
We're proud to announce that with your help we successfully raised $71,462.70 to donate to local Children's Charities in Sacramento.
The Children's Receiving Home of Sacramento and the Sacramento Children's Home each received $25,231.35. In addition, a total of $16,000.00 was donated to the Courts Appointed Special Advocates Association for Children and $5,000.00 was donated to the SES Robotics Educations Organization. Each organization was presented their donation by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Technology on December 15, 2015.
This is a tremendous accomplishment and we couldn't have done it without generous sponsors, and employees. The money we raised and donated will help provide life changing opportunities for children, and possibly even make a few dreams come true.
Once again a sincere THANK YOU for your contributions toward this event to help us improve the lives of children in our community and we invite you to participate once again in the 2016 Charity Golf Tournament scheduled for October 20, 2016.

Product Description
From the magical imagination of international fantasy art sensation Rachel Anderson. Sitting on a grey rock, this white-haired fairy stares contentedly into space, clear crystalline wings unfurled behind her. Spiral ammonite fossils emerge from the ground around her as her blue dress spills along the floor. Next to her, a small blue dragon perches on a rugged monolith, staring at her as its own clear butterfly wings are relaxed behind it. On the monolith, a Celtic knot pattern glows blue with mystical energy. Cast in top-quality resin before being lovingly hand-painted, this mystical figurine is a great gift for the magic-loving dreamer in your life – even if that's you!

If you want to take your masks off you need to get as many feelings out. You're actually taking a mask down when you share things which you haven't shared before. And you often find that you did not understand before, when you ask for feedback from different people, and this takes down among the masks that you have used to keep out of knowing your self.
And obviously it may, because it doesn't have anything to dowith'celebrityorientation', predictions' based on coffee cups, or tea leaves, or card readings, or any other form of mumbo jumbo!
You may find it hard to express your love such a manner if you did not develop in an affectionate family. But if this is the partner's love language, you will have to learn the local sluts live video chat Cape Saint Charles NL of touch he or she needs and provide it.
So locate your favored Cape Saint Charles, the one that you always feel your absolute finest in, and also see to it that you grin. You wish to look like a friendly and happy Cape Saint Charles NL best practices online dating. That's what will motivate someone to click your picture and discover even more regarding you.
I recognize someone reading this is right away mosting likely to say" they have a dating free transgender sex dating on Facebook currently" While yes that holds true there is a dating choice that still does not erase the reality that the major objective of the website is not to locate someone to drop in love with. In the film" The Social media" the web site was ready when they added the option to include a relationship condition to your account. However that was back when it was tailored in the direction of university kids. Were matured currently. As well as our lives are placed online for the entire globe to see each and every single day of the year. Maybe a few of you reading this aren't grown- ups simply yet however that does not alter the truth that Facebook is essentially not a dating application. I see a lot of guys ignoring this truth these days which is why I chose to create this article. Facebook is an effective social networking and Cape Saint Charles Newfoundland and Labrador taurusan casual sex and marketing tool. It's not Tinder or POF however. Females do not intend to see your prick as long as you think they do. They absolutely DO want you to publish under their pictures with your fundamental ass responses telling them just how gorgeous they are as well as all that spunk.
The date started out alright. Bernie desired to meet at a sports bar approximately twenty minutes. If we wanted to then we could go for a stroll somewhere. I was somewhat disappointed to hear that, because I'd dreamed of riding in that Corvette, but perhaps he let me sit inside his car for a moment so I could take a selfie! I only had a minute's guide on him as I sat within the restaurant. On hearing the rev of a engine, I noticed his sports car as he drove up and looked out the window at the reception area. I stepped out to meet with him.
Do not fall for it. Her pussy won't ever be wet for you as you need or as, once a woman knows for a second that she can conquer you emotionally. All my writing is meant to give you an insight into the way that his achievement can be maxed out by a shrewd player for sex without requiring any shit.
Let me clarify. When I replay those past rejections, I can learn what mistakes I made and I could possibly determine why I was rejected by the girl. That way I will take that piece of advice and use that with another woman I talk to.
Their children are teenagers. We have financial, sexual, psychological, and societal needs, and we are currently seeking someone who will help us fulfill them. Choosing to live together is the epitome of this relationship that is need- based: meeting as many self- needs as possible while leaving it open- ended, thus enabling a quick exit when those needs are no longer being met or a more desirable partner is found.
AI I spent in the 2months I saw many of the routines described previously, but I did not admit them all- - or perhaps I was in denial. But, after we parted ways, they became clear. I'd known all along that he fought to become engaged and after when I'd suggested that he go for counselling he explained he didn't want to. It looked like he didn't want to change and there was nothing I could do about it.
So consider the start of a new era. You're likely to quit complaining that women fuck buddy shirt Saint-Elzear QC not respond to you today. You are going to pull up your profile, put up a new image, spice up the content, select your opener, and begin women like there is no tomorrow.
Deciding to Talk to local sluts Cape Saint Charles NL Control One factor toward success is just showing up and doing everything you know you needed to do. Negative ideas about the dating world around you and who you are can keep you stuck, afraid to reach out, and also try the things.
Ask questions. When having a casual sex contact Fryatt with somebody you just met, asking questions is a sign that your would love to keep the conversation moving and curious about them. It also lets you steer the dialogue. Keep it easy.
And by the way, here is a tip. This works really nicely on ladies that are beautiful. They are so used to guys treating them like goddesses and tripping over themselves that when a guy treats them normally, they love it and they vidio chat with local sluts free Cape Saint Charles that guy.
What is more attractive to a hot girl in a nightclub? The drunk guy who is currently slurring his words and is will pull the trigger and completely uncouth, or the fun, sociable man that's witty as hell and leave her wanting more.
So this stage is very crucial since this step determines that you will stay for longer or no, So maintain HIM /HER Cape Saint Charles NL find horny local sluts email into you and take decisions which work together with both of you, never ever make private choices or this might impact your connection, Cape Saint Charles NL sexy nude local sluts her /him for a coffee and speak and get know each other Cape Saint Charles and also let everything out as well as see what matches in both of you, perhaps you guys we heart companions just waiting to be reunited POSSIBLY. As well as likewise talk out and keep him /her amused share points what you do every day or split jokes or just speak what's taking place in your life, And also SPEAK THE RUTH do not hide anything, this will not influence currently yet in long- term relationships TRUTH and also SINCERITY pays the price, so whatever you claim need to be the fact, keep him /her in a clear photo and also circulation in the feeling. Feature of him /her for a day or also, and afterwards plan your following meetup, due to the fact that meetups play a crucial Cape Saint Charles Newfoundland and Labrador, and afterwards fulfill up and also this moment maybe invest some even more time, Go or enjoy a movie to see a local hood sluts exposed Cape Saint Charles maybe in this way you guys will stay together and also talk a whole lot.
Iestimating him, sizing up himand'm watching him today. Give me proof, I want to shout. He is stocky but seems pretty fit beneath jeans and his loose shirt. I really don't want to drink, I WANT TO DANCE. But we walk out on the balcony and get some beers. I local sluts behind so I can examine his buttocks. Are those the ass cheeks of a dancer? I guess they seem company. Having never met with a tap dancer I don't have anything to compare them to.
So why hide this thing by being the" good man" from a Disney movie full of nice and platonic resolutions? It does not make sense. Just as it makes no sense for you to make yourself appear in going to talk to a lady, whatever the 24, infinite.
There were times where I had enough and I advised her that" We ought to stop speaking to each other for a while" or that" We should move on" even though I really liked her. All of the times I sent her a text like that she'd ask me to meet her and when I did she would hug me and tell me not to quit speaking to her and trying to manipulate me to remaining in this weird manipulative connection( we were never an" official" few by the way) .
We are going to call the man Joe that is hot for the local sluts tumbler Swansburg NS of casual sex lax Cape Saint Charles. Joe and I decide to execute on a date, to. The first five moments appear to be moving very well, but as the night progressed this guy became more boring and more. I think a date with Al Gore could've been more amusing than what I experienced. Despite how good- looking he was, his looks could not carry him that his idea of Cape Saint Charles Newfoundland and Labrador local sluts twitter was about as funny as watching paint dry.
On top of that, search" on the online dating bbw Saint-Albert dating solutions" as well as keep a notebook of their Links or internet site web links, the costs, regulations and guidelines, full call info of each and also any type of other valuable info that spikes your passion. Then compare each place. Try just those places where you really feel risk- free. Prevent the others.
We grabbed a seat in the table that was only available and headed into the pub. The group were putting up; one I had seen play previously. He explained to me that he enjoyed a kind of music which not many others were to- . I'll be honest, I had to ask him to explain what it was. Iasked him to ship across YouTube linksand'd shown an interest. Sure, the stuff was okay and you could tell it requires a unique gift, but it wasn't for me.
There are several ways to deliver the news. But be as clear with the individual as you want to be. Prying away yourself with excuses such as" I'm really busy for another couple of months" or even" I don't think that this is working" may not get through to some person, either because they are really into you and wish to work through it, or because they will not take the rejection. It's important to be clear that you will not be online dating is impossible on another date. Can it in the nicest way possible.
And Hey- Men! Things You Can Learn- - Thing Number One: We can dictate our own liquor, thank you very much. After youknow our preferencesand've known us, it is pleasant to have our favorite beverage awaiting us when we arrive. But take the time to get to know us.
I climbed up right into my cars and truck and sped away from the car park, leaving the Horny Buddhist in my dirt. On the means site to view local sluts Cape Saint Charles Newfoundland and Labrador, I called a buddy as well as informed her concerning the my online dating experience, giggling nervously. It can have gone a lot even worse, so I chose to call myself fortunate that I had the ability to escape. I actually assumed that would certainly be completion of it.

If you find pornography abhorrent on precept, that is more than understandable. The point is not that it's superior; it's that, again, it is like ice cream. Your husband's habit of consuming it is not best porn finder porndig essentially great for him, but it's a pleasure impulse that is not simple to show off—or that you'd want us to completely flip off.

I see so many good ladies, visibly lonely or harm, rejected, left, good girls who say they don't want a man. Same for good men, lonely or damage or rejected or left, who say they do not need a lady.
They concluded that men like Roberto who use on-line porn to escape emotional discomfort are far more prone to expertise related issues than males who go browsing primarily for sexual pleasure. This indicates that porn use (and other on-line sexual actions) are, for some users, a maladaptive coping strategy somewhat than a pleasure-looking for strategy. Certainly there have been other points to take care of, particularly the unresolved childhood trauma surrounding his father. But his escapist compulsivity with on-line pornography needed to be addressed first, because it was clearly and instantly linked to his most urgent points.
We hope that the WHO exclusions will help to reduce the shame that some individuals expertise around their regular and healthy sexual behaviors. That means it's still as much as us, professionals with actual expertise in sexuality, to proceed efforts to teach—and reassure—the general public about itself.

In different phrases, should you're not having intercourse however your associate is watching porn, don't essentially assume that your partner has a porn problem. The two of you may need a relationship problem to tackle. It's fair to ask, and it's quite possible that they wish to experiment with something completely different, but when they keep that they don't need to make the porn actuality, take them at their phrase. Like zombies and area invaders, generally porn is just an entertaining fantasy or curious thought, and nothing extra. Fans and haters of porn each have definite ideas about why individuals watch porn, however those that have by no means been moved by it in either way could also be a minimum of slightly curious, if not fully perplexed, by why individuals watch porn.
A typical forty five-minute porn video takes three days of filming to provide, but leaves the viewer considering that all of it occurred with no break. Porn also makes it appear to be no matter what a person does, the lady likes it even though the vast majority of sex acts are degrading or violent.
While it remains a posh issue because of authorized, moral, moral and life-fashion preferences, individuals usually feel strongly about whether or not it's OK to watch porn. In reality, there's a completely porn tradition dedicated to porn evaluations – where web sites evaluate the completely different porn sites such as TubeV on the internet.
An Update On No-Fuss Solutions Of Best Free Porn Sites
And that sort of scripting can affect relationships". Longitudinal studies following people over time at least show if intercourse-film viewing occurred before a proposed effect, which is necessary to suggest that sex movies caused the effect. For instance, one longitudinal research confirmed that, on common, intercourse-movie viewing increased the danger of relationship loss later. However, one other study discovered that married Americans with the best frequencies of intercourse-film use truly have been at the lowest threat for dropping their relationship (a nonlinear impact).
People like having sex and like seeing different individuals doing it. Not everyone who watches porn really uses porn as a masturbatory enhancement. I do often as a "bridge" expertise between relationships. One means men who have companions can again off from it's to look at it together with your partner.
Porn has also been linked to sexual promiscuity, with some proof suggesting that watching porn is associated with a sevenfold increase within the chance having informal intercourse. But this was only discovered to be the case for people who find themselves unhappy.
Porn users kill their capacity to perform sexually in real life by conditioning their mind to get aroused by sitting alone in entrance of a computer somewhat than being with an actual individual. Sometimes, especially in the case of newbie porn, individuals are just naturally curious and fascinated by what other people do for sexual enjoyment and what it appears like. People who like cooking also like watching different folks prepare dinner on TV. It's not a huge stretch that so many individuals watch porn.
Watching porn with your associate can open each of your minds to new sexual possibilities. My final lengthy-term boyfriend and I did not watch porn together, and as soon as that ended (thank god), I found somebody I felt extra comfortable enough with, making it easier to communicate and have confidence in our sex-capades. Porn guarantees a virtual world full of countless sex however what it doesn't mention is that the further a person goes into that fantasy world, the more doubtless their reality is to turn into just the opposite.

Sixty-six years later, the memories of Iwo Jima still remain vivid for one former Marine who was nearly killed during the monthlong battle in the last year of World War II.
Sixty-six years later, the memories of Iwo Jima still remain vivid for one former Marine who was nearly killed during the monthlong battle in the last year of World War II.
"When you are listed as dead twice and missing in action — my folks got telegrams from the War Department saying that — I am really lucky to be here today," said Karl Schmidt. At 86, he is part of a dwindling fraternity — men who survived one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific.
Schmidt, a Peorian and a 1943 Manual High School graduate, was reflective Friday, a day before the anniversary of the initial Marine landing during the invasion of the island. Iwo Jima, located about 700 miles south of the Japan, was coveted for its three airstrips. The Japanese also used the island to defend Tokyo and other mainland cities from American bombers.
But more importantly, Schmidt remembered, it was a piece of the Japanese homeland and surrender wasn't an option.
The battle was costly to both sides, as 6,821 Americans died and another 19,200 were wounded. Only 1,083 of Japan's 20,000 soldiers survived the battle.
Schmidt worked as a scout, an intelligence officer or, as he quipped, "a bit like James Bond." He operated in small groups or often by himself to gather intelligence. He laid out the assault maps for the August 1944 battle for Guam, where an explosion embedded about 15 pieces of shrapnel in his body. Pieces are still in him today.
"Oh, they love me at the courthouse," he said with a laugh. "When I come in, it goes beep, beep, beep, and they come a-running."
A mortar blast killed nine others around him and he initially was listed as dead. Schmidt recalls waking up on a ship where a chaplain was about to give him last rites. He blinked a few times, unable to talk, and that saved his life.
"That chaplain told me if it had been five minutes later, I would have been in the ocean, buried at sea," he said.
After six months recovering at a hospital, he returned to his unit. His commanding officer came up to him and told him to pack up, it was time to go.
"I'd been back for one day and then I was on a boat for Iwo Jima. They told me they had so many new guys that they needed a veteran," he said.
Schmidt, who was all of 20, was considered "salty," or someone who had been through it and could pass on some of his wisdom. His unit, 9th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, was held back, but hit the beaches after the initial invasion because, as he put it, "they had lost so many Marines, they needed us."
He remembers the sounds of the battle and the zing of the bullets. He also remembers the stench of death that hung in the air.
One memory he'll cherish forever, though, is seeing Old Glory being raised on Mount Suribachi two days after he landed on Iwo Jima.
It was Feb. 23, 1945, and the battle for the island was raging. He and others had reached the base of Suribachi, on the island's southern tip. He looked up and saw the flag slowly going up until it stood tall for all to see.
"It was just a really happy moment when the flag went up. Everyone just cheered like the dickens then. We were all happy then," he said, before pausing. "I am probably one of the few around who can actually say they had seen the flag raising."
A week or so later, he was shot in the right shoulder, and that round also still is in him today. He had been on the island for 18 days.
For him, the war was over. He got out of the Marines in December 1945, went into the carpentry trade and eventually became a home contractor, retiring in 1988.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Simone Biles was the talk of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and she's now gearing up for another goldmine next year.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist had the Internet geeked on Tuesday (May 28) after she posted two videos of jaw-dropping routines.
"Summer floor training 2019," Biles captioned the first video, showing one of her signatures, a front layout somersault. The 22-year-old Columbus, Ohio native is the only woman ever to land the move in international competition.

The second video shows Biles effortlessly landing a triple twisting double tuck somersault, something a woman has never landed in a major meet.

If Biles is able to land the second routine successfully at a world cup or world championship, the skill would likely be named in her honor in gymnastics' code of points. It would also become the third skill to bare her name.
This, folks, is Black Girl Magic front and center. And remember she's only 22!

The Horn Showcase was held in Lawton, Oklahoma, October 4-5, 2019.
