Owner Michael Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace, and coach Lionel Hollins have all provided different accounts of their meeting with Iverson this summer, but none of them have said definitively that the team discussed in specific terms what Iverson's role would be. As for Iverson, he's said all the right things except when asked about coming off the bench. In those instances, he's responded with variations on the refrain that no one would even consider such a thing if not for his problems in Detroit last season.
Iverson is an all-time great, no doubt. But in this instance I think he's completely wrong. Iverson is a small guard who is much more of a scorer than a distributor. He's a wobbly outside shooter whose game is dependent on quickness yet he's 34 years old and coming off a hamstring injury. In his prime, his outlandish ability triumphed over the peculiarity of his game. But those days are gone. I would argue that any team that would sign Iverson at this stage of his career would want to use him as an instant-offense sixth man, a la Jason Terry or Nate Robinson. A rich man's Flip Murray. Of course, the Grizzlies were apparently the only team this summer that was serious about signing Iverson, which, itself, tells you plenty.
Iverson's role to start the season — or at least to start his season — has been cleared up by his injury. Iverson is highly unlikely to be in uniform opening night, and after missing all of preseason is almost certain to make his Grizzlies debut off the bench. But how long will the team be able to keep him in that role? To some the idea of Allen Iverson coming off the bench behind Mike Conley seems silly, perhaps most of all to Iverson himself. But that's the role he needs to play. It's what's best for Iverson and the Grizzlies. Here's why:
Why it's best for Iverson: Allen Iverson has averaged 41.4 minutes per game in his career and averaged 41.8 just two seasons ago. This can't last forever. Playing reduced minutes will be a tough adjustment for Iverson, but it's inevitable if he wants to play into his late 30s. Iverson played 36.5 minutes per game last season after joining the Pistons and that number should probably drop down to 30 or less this season.
Playing Iverson off the bench will allow the team to limit his minutes and keep him fresher while still retaining the option of using him to close out games. It will also better allow Iverson to play the game the only way he really knows how — searching for shots on offense and searching for steals on defense.
Were Iverson to take the court with the full bench — say, alongside Sam Young, DeMarre Carroll, Steven Hunter/Darrell Arthur, and Hasheem Thabeet — it would be something of a (very) poor man's version of the 76ers team he once took to the Finals, a lineup of defensive-oriented role players fully content to defer to Iverson's voracious need for shots and rare ability to create them.
Coach Hollins is unlikely to deploy fleet substitutions, but coming off the bench would maximize the time Iverson spends on the floor with the rookies. This will help Iverson by allowing him to freelance offensively without taking too many shots away from other primary scorers and allowing him to freelance defensively with potentially solid defenders (Young and Carroll) flanking him and a shot-blocker (Thabeet) behind him.
Why it's best for the Grizzlies: Iverson is a short-term fit on a team that still needs to properly evaluate, develop, and promote chemistry with a Conley-O.J. Mayo pairing that might be the long-term starting backcourt. Bringing Iverson off the bench will help to team continue to do so.
Also, the role for Iverson I described above can be very helpful to the team if Iverson chooses to embrace it. Iverson may be an increasingly low-percentage scorer, but these things are relative. Last season, the Grizzlies' perimeter bench minutes were soaked up by Kyle Lowry (41% shooting), Quinton Ross (38%), Marko Jaric (33% — not a typo!), and Greg Buckner (38%), none of whom made up for their percentages by being dynamic shot-creators. Even a diminished Iverson will be a big upgrade in that role, one that could significantly improve what was the league's third-worst offense last season.
Starting Iverson and bringing Conley off the bench, conversely, would put too much stress on the team's shot distribution in the starting lineup without giving the bench the needed offensive punch.

Sharks, Rays and Plenty of Small Stuff
Sharks, Rays and Plenty of Small Stuff
For our second trip in Gaafu Atoll we dived the famous Vilingili Kandu first thing in the morning and even though the currents were not as strong as our last trip, the sharks were still around as well as eagle rays and Napoleon wrasse, whilst in the afternoon guides Enrico and Dima choose a large Giri to give our guests a chance for some macro shots. Generally the currents tends to get stronger in the afternoon so we decided to stay away from the Kandus and do some more relaxing dives inside the atoll. The next morning the current was strong so we split the groups and whilst 4 brave divers went for the strong current into the Kandu the rest of the divers went for a gentler dive at Giri close by. During breakfast Captain Ashraf moved the Maldives Siren further south and with much milder current we dove Maareha Kandu, one of my favourites channels. Grey reef sharks, eagle rays and trevallies were all seen at the entrance into the channel. For the afternoon we choose a beautiful house reef at the little island of Airagathaa with amazing hard corals and smaller creatures. A few of our guests went for the dive whilst others enjoyed some wine and beer for the typical Maldivian sunset.
Saturday morning and it was time once more for the Marehaa Kandu, again just a mild current we all enjoyed the fish action this channel has to offer. Konday Kandu was next; jumping in at the outside wall and drifting slowly to the corner we hooked in and enjoyed the action in front of us and a special surprise of two blue marlins. For a little bit more relaxing dive guides Enrico and Dima chose a lovely sloping reef for the second morning dive. Large schools of silversides and pack of blue fin trevallies cruised amongst the amazing hard corals. Four brave divers went back to the Kandu in the afternoon whilst averybody else enjoyed a more relaxing pace at Kuda Giri with fusiliers and trevallies. Hero of the day was Olivier, who rescued a hawksbill turtle out of a cable. After she was freed she swam straight to the surface to catch a breath and then went off into the blue. Thank you Olivier!!To round up the day 3 guests went together with Dima on a night dive and discovered a variety of shrimps and crabs.
Tuesday morning started with Funandhoo Kanu and just a mild current. Large schools of fusiliers and oceanic triggerfish, great barracudas and tunas were on our list to be ticket off this morning. For the afternoon we split the groups again and visited Nilandhoo Kandu and Nilandho Thila, but it was only the hard-core divers, Marie and Hubertus, who joined Enrico for the night dive. Highlights for the day were sightings of leopard shark, robust ghost pipefish, dog tooth tuna and stone fish.
Today was a perfect day to check out most of the outside walls of the Atoll and we could give our divers the option for either channels or walls, outside walls meant less current and everybody had enjoyable dives punctuated by schools of red snapper, green turtles, sweetlips and black tip reef sharks. In the evening we all celebrated An's birthday with a special Alibe cake and a light cocktail, with Dima showing off his bartender skills from the olden days. The last full day of diving concentrated in the north of Gaafu Atoll with giris and shallow reefs, whilst some opted to venture to the outside walls and explore unknown dive sites. The hard corals are really beautiful up in the northern rim of the atoll but unfortunately theres are not so many fish here as in the east so for our final two dives we returned to Vilingili Kandu and Koodoo Kandu to immerse ourselves amidst the schools of barracudas and giant trevally, white tip and grey reef sharks. After that we deserved a sunset Sangria and a BBQ and a fun final night aboard the Maldives Siren.
Next for me is a return to Phuket, but Enrico & Dima will be welcoming our next group very soon. See you all again!

Divided Represent Cornwall at South WestÆs Best Young Enterprise Company 2012
On Monday 25th June ōDividedö travelled up to Bristol University to compete for the æSouth WestÆs Best Young Enterprise Company 2012Æ accompanied by their Link Teacher Mrs J Griffiths and their Business Adviser, Ms Ruth Grant. At age 15, the Richard Lander students were by far the youngest in the final and had juggled running the company with GCSE studies, so were somewhat underdogs, but went into the competition determined and confident that they could win the title and the place in the UK National Final, which will be held in London in July.
All of the 7 teams started the event by setting up trade stands, and then were interviewed at their stands by the judges. The rules clearly stated that the students had to do this without any adult help, so their teachers and business advisers had to leave the room. The judges were:
Andy Bird, Corporate Director ¢ Barclays, Hereford & Worcester
Matthew Lee, Managing Partner ¢ Bishop Fleming
Lauren Billington, Head of External Relations ¢ English Mutual
Nick Walrond, Managing Director ¢ RSG Resource Solutions Group
Lee Newman, Senior Commercial Manager ¢ HSBC
Divided coped with this challenge admirably, remaining polite, committed to their product and professional at all times. Their stature far surpassed their years and they looked every bit the business people.
At 5:00, the invited guests and sponsors arrived and were shown the stands. During this part of the competition the Divided stand was particularly busy and abuzz with excitement to the extent that the professional photographer had to return three times to get his publicity shot.
At 5:30 the presentations commenced. Divided stood at the front of the Wills Memorial Hall, a prestigious venue and one of the last gothic buildings built in England, and presented to an audience of over 300 people. They talked of their business achievements, and their understanding of why the company had performed as it did. Divided have invented a unique popcorn packaging ¢ Flavour Box - which allows a consumer to have 4 different snacks in one packet. They have secured advertising from 6 different companies to fund a test run which will take place at Newquay Cinema in the near future. They have also filmed a highly professional advert featuring fellow students which was shown to the audience.
Unfortunately, Divided did not win any awards although they were second in the Innovation and Enterprise category and a finalist in the Media Award category. Although they return to Cornwall empty handed the team are not too downhearted and have certainly not been put off pursuing careers in business in any way.
Jacob Wickett, Sales and Marketing Director: ōDivided is very disappointed at not winning any awards today; however we do intend to carry on with Flavour Box. We would like to thank Jenny Griffiths, Ruth Grant and Sally Wright for supporting us at the Regional Finals.ö
Mrs J Griffiths, Assistant Headteacher: ōThe Divided team put in a fantastic performance, and punched well above their weight competing with sixth form teams from across seven counties. We were really disappointed not to win but the team intend to become a fully incorporated company as soon as they turn 16ö
The Overall Best Company Trophy went to Vitamin Boom, Balcarras Academy, Gloucestershire for their Froo-Tea product containing Baobab.

Issues in learning and teaching: online and blended
Good online learning depends, among other things, on good online teaching.
In 2001, as online learning was gathering widespread acceptance, a team of experts comprised a report offering a list of competencies required for good online teaching (Goodyear, Salmon, Spector, Steeples, & Tickner, 2001). In contrast to face-to-face teaching, it was suggested that an online teacher requires competencies in technology, design, and online facilitation.
Nowadays, learners have high expectations of technology in their courses (Sharpe & Browne, 2015, p.12). To successfully engage with online and blended learning, learners need to be 'digitally literate' and expect to be equipped "with the digital literacy skills necessary to be productive in a rapidly changing work environment" (Johnson, et al., 2016, p. 24). Seven elements of digital literacy have been identified (JISC, 2014).
7 elements of digital literacies (Click to expand)
Source: The seven elements of digital literacies (JISC, 2014)
For examples of digital literacy attributes required in Engineering, Humanities, Science and Management, go to JISC's Professionalism in the Digital Environment (PriDE) website.
Reflection point
Consider the digital literacies for your discipline area. How do you think you could address these in your teaching? (Keep a record for your ePortfolio)
Good online teaching
Whether in an online or digital world, good teaching and learning, still needs to follow the principles of effective learning and teaching. Pedagogy takes priority over the tool of technology (Hattie, 2009).
Preparing to teach online
To understand what technology to use, when and how to use them effectively you need to have a sound knowledge of educational principles and work out what technology is best-placed to achieve your learning goals.
Take a look at UNSW's selecting technologies teaching matrix to help you choose the right tools.
Talking point
Think about what technologies or resources are available in your institution to integrate technology into your teaching. To start you may need to search your institution's website. Post the name of one technology or resource together with its URL.

ISLAMABAD, Sep 30 (APP): Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif, expressing complete satisfaction over operational preparedness of the Army, on Friday said highest state of vigil is being maintained along Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary (WB) and all along International Border (IB).
"Any misadventure by our adversary will meet the most befitting response from Pakistan," he said while talking to troops during his visit to a newly developed Combat Reaction Training facility in the close vicinity of Lahore Garrison.
He said Pakistan cant be coerced through any amount of malicious propaganda, according to an ISPR press release.
The COAS exhorted all commanders to lay more emphasis on combat readiness, emphasizing that training in peace time is the only guarantor of averting and winning war if imposed.
He was given a detailed briefing on the purpose built environment/obstacles meant to impart module based all arms training to mechanized troops.
Earlier, the COAS inaugurated newly established Junior Campus of Garrison Academy, Lahore and attended their first school assembly.
It was a special moment as COAS visited the premises of the School where he was a student 44 years ago (March 1967 – 1972). A large number of students, faculty members and Lahore Garrison Education System Staff were present on the occasion.
He was accompanied by Commander Lahore Corps, Lieutenant General Sadiq Ali.

TAOISEACH ENDA KENNY has spoken of the relationship between Britain and Ireland while at the London School of Economics – and whether Ireland will rejoin the Commonwealth.
He is in the city for the first of a series of annual summits with David Cameron, and he described today as a "symbolic and important day". He said his visit is one of strengthening, consolidating and honouring the British-Irish relationship.
Reports on Twitter from those present said that following his speech, he was questioned on whether Ireland would rejoin the Commonwealth.
The Taoiseach's answer was that this would not happen.
During his speech, the Taoiseach said that the start of St Patrick's Week is a fitting time to reflect "on those remarkable days, two years ago, when her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, to us Banrían Eilís a Dó, came to visit Ireland".
He and Prime Minister David Cameron agreed a joint statement last year setting out their goals and objectives for the next 10 years, the progress on which they will review today.
He said that both Governments "remain committed to working together to realise fully, a peaceful, prosperous Northern Ireland", building on the Good Friday Agreement.
He also spoke of the current Government's work on Ireland's economic recovery. Saying that Ireland "had just been forced into a bailout arrangement" when the Fine Gael-Labour coalition came into government, Kenny added that he firmly believes Ireland is now heading in the right direction.
On Ireland's presidency of the European Union, he said that he is satisfied with the progress made to date, and that "it is absolutely clear to us that Ireland's long-term economic and political interests lie in a strong and cohesive EU".
European Union
He also addressed the issue of the UK's position in the European Union:
Let me say simply, we joined the Union together 40 years ago. We have travelled a great distance together within it. We are of like mind on so many of the vital issues the Union faces, especially the jobs and growth challenges I have already set out.
Describing the UK as "an enormously important partner for us in Europe", the Taoiseach said:
We greatly value the contribution you make, and we look forward to it continuing long into the future. It is good for Europe, good for Ireland and, not least, good for the UK.

Happy 2018, beauties! UPDATE: our January Beauty Box sold out in 12 hours, but if you missed this month you can sign up for the waitlist here!!! If you're familiar with our Beauty Box, go ahead and skip to the next paragraph. If you're not, here's a quick introduction: At ABM and Oui Fresh, we are always looking for ways to 'clean up' our everyday routines by eliminating ingredients that might be doing more harm than good to our bodies and our environment, and in addition, including as many naturally good for you ingredients as possible. Elsie and Emma began the Oui Fresh Beauty Box as a fun way to introduce our friends who are new to 'clean' or non-toxic beauty to great products we love, as well as to bring a fun, best-of-the-best brand experience to those who are already doing the clean beauty thing. It's been an amazing way to get to know some incredible small businesses and brands, and we've discovered some unique new products along the way! Each month, we also share one of our signature Oui Fresh products in the box. 🙂
For January, we wanted to do something to signify the new year and thought a "Try Something New" box would be way fun! Some of you may be familiar with a few or all of these products, but our hope is that you get to experience something different that you may not normally be apt to try. Who knows, you might just love it!
The front of our information card this month is MAKE IT HAPPEN! Because of course we're going to—it's our year, right?! Here's what's in the box this month:
Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil + Makeup Remover by One Love Organics (value $12) – I am absolutely IN LOVE with this cleanser! I used it morning and night in two vastly different climates: a dry midwest winter and for a week in humid, 90 degree Florida. I was amazed by how hydrated and balanced my skin stayed when I was braving the chill in St. Louis, but even more so when I had a full face of makeup, power walking Disney World for 12 hours and wasn't shining like the top of the Chrysler building (#annieforever #hardknocklife). I had an understandable amount of shine by the end of the day, but I felt like my oil production was significantly less than normal under these conditions and I wasn't constantly blotting. For being scented naturally, this cleanser smells like a tropical paradise—very impressive. This is a great product for travel because you don't need water to rinse your face beforehand; just use a quarter-sized amount, massage onto your skin until the consistency is 'a delicate milk', and rinse clean or wipe thoroughly with a damp towel. Alternately, you can use this like any other makeup remover with a cotton ball—no rinsing required!
Note: Oil cleansers are a true gift to the skincare world. If you haven't yet embraced facial oils or cleansers because you're nervous about making your skin more oil-prone or shiny, you might be surprised to find that an oil cleanser can actually help your skin pump the brakes on that excess sebum production. The way it works is that the oils in the cleanser latch onto dirt, makeup, and other impurities to wash them away and leave your skin with all of its good oils that keep it hydrated, as opposed to a harsh 'detergent' that dries it out. When your skin gets dried out from these harsher cleansers, your sebum production kicks into high gear to compensate for those good oils being stripped away, leaving some of us more shiny than necessary.
Poser Paste in 'Ex Girl' by Good Dye Young (value $18) – If you're a fan of the band Paramore, then you KNOW Hayley Williams—their seriously talented frontwoman (she might be petite but that voice will bring. the. house. down.) Hayley started Good Dye Young as a vegan, cleaner alternative to hair dyes which are a notoriously 'dirty' product in the beauty world. We were so excited when we found out about Poser Paste: the easiest, most risk-free way to achieve super fun temporary 'fantasy' hair! All you have to do is apply it with your fingers to dry hair—any color, any texture. It washes out really easily with no staining, even on the lightest hair. I love to brush mine out after applying it with a lighter touch to achieve a pretty pastel look (I have balayage color so I kind of apply it in that way, where I leave my roots with no paste and taper the paste down). But applied more generously, it is so bright and amazing. You can even heat style your hair as normal after application. A visit to their website can give you more info on styling (just make sure you brush through it first), but it's honestly so easy, and such a blast to experiment with pink hair with no commitment!
Hydra Repair Mask by Aeria Skin (value $5) – This extremely hydrating mask from Aeria Skin is ultra soothing and amazing for any skin type. The sheet is made of organic cotton, and the serum is packed with peptides that help to combat premature signs of aging while vitamins E and B3 deliver major antioxidant power to fight the free radicals we're exposed to every day. One of my favorite things about sheet masks is how easy they are to do when you're pressed for time because they don't require you to do an extra rinse and they're so easy to clean up. If you've never worn a sheet mask before, they can be a little interesting on the first go-round, but just relax, do some insta scrolling, or whatever you normally do during a face mask application—same thing, different vehicle. Simply apply the mask to a clean face, remove after 15-20 minutes, and pat remaining serum into skin, no need to rinse (you want allll of that goodness on your face!). Follow up with your favorite moisturizer, facial oil, or serum.
Jade Roller (value $25) – This past weekend, I talked a little bit about this guy on ABM Instagram stories and got soooo many messages wanting to know more. For centuries, jade rollers have been used as a beauty tool and are said to combat inflammation, improve circulation, reduce the look of pores, reduce fine lines, and promote elasticity + lymphatic drainage. To use, start with a clean face (preferably, prime with a serum or facial oil—you'll reap the benefit of the product being massaged into your skin). Beginning down at your chin, roll out and upward toward your cheeks with the large side of the roller. Move upward in sections using 3-5 strokes for each section. Use the small side of the roller to gently massage your under and upper eye area. We always keep our roller in the refrigerator, or even in the freezer, for maximum de-puffing benefits. Although this is made from stainless steel, we always take the extra precaution and avoid standing water to keep away rust. (Pro tip: Use these steps to apply your sheet mask and massage that serum into your skin!) Note: This is real jade; the look of the stone may vary. While this particular roller is a Oui Fresh Beauty Box exclusive, our friends at Herbivore have one you can get your hands on. 🙂
Oui Fresh Hydrating Lipstick in Baby Spice (value $20) – SO excited to introduce you all to a nude from the Oui Fresh collection this month! This light nude definitely has a little bit of that mod vibe to it. it's so sweet and fun, just like the diva who inspired it (platform tennis shoes optional but encouraged)! My favorite application for this color is to start with your favorite chapstick for added hydration (especially if it's cold where you are), follow it up with a few pats of concealer to lightly cover your lips, then apply two passes of lipstick. The concealer is a trick we use with light colors/nudes to lay down a neutral base so that the color of the lipstick is more 'true to the tube' once it's applied, since sometimes your lips' natural tones (though beautiful) can change how the shade is interpreted on your skin.
*Boxes cannot be customized. As with any subscription box, it's normal to expect you'll get some things you love more than others. The purpose of it is to try new things at an amazing value. Each month will be a different assortment, but it will always include some skincare and makeup. We will not do skin-tone-specific makeup colors (so don't worry, we will never send you a foundation that doesn't match your skin!). If you get something you don't like one month, just share it with a friend! You can read more on our FAQ page and you can SUBSCRIBE HERE.
That's the scoop for January—lots of fun new things to check out. We sold out super fast this month, but we'll be opening up more spots for March, so join the waitlist to get priority access sign up when the next box is released! xo Keely, Elsie, + Emma

Monthly cabotegravir-rilpivirine favoured by PLHIV
Persons living with HIV (PLHIV) who received monthly long-acting (LA) intramuscular formulations of the INSTI* cabotegravir and the NNRTI** rilpivirine reported higher levels of treatment satisfaction and treatment acceptance, and greater willingness to continue therapy as opposed to a daily oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen, according to patient-reported outcomes of the ATLAS*** and FLAIR# trials presented at IAS 2019.
In ATLAS, 616 individuals (median age 42 years, 33 percent female) who were virologically suppressed for >6 months on an oral regimen## were randomized 1:1 to either switch to monthly LA cabotegravir 400 mg plus rilpivirine 600 mg (C+R) after a lead-in phase with oral C+R once daily for 4 weeks, or to continue their current daily oral ART regimen. [IAS 2019, abstract MOAB0103]
After adjusting for baseline score, age, sex, race, and third agent class at week 44, participants in the C+R arm reported better treatment satisfaction than those in the ART arm (adjusted mean change, 5.68, 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 4.37–6.98; p<0.001).
Treatment acceptance rate was also better with C+R vs ART at week 48 (adjusted mean change, 10.7, 95 percent CI, 7.1–14.4; p<0.001), with majority of the C+R recipients rating their injection site reactions (ISRs) as 'totally' or 'very' acceptable (90 percent and 86 percent, respectively). Only 1 percent of those who had ISRs withdrew from treatment.
Overall, 94 percent and 66 percent of participants in the C+R and ART arms, respectively, noted that they were 'satisfied to continue treatment'. Almost all participants (97 percent) in the overall cohort preferred LA treatment over daily ART, translating to a high level of treatment satisfaction, noted the researchers.
The maintenance phase of FLAIR included 566 participants (median age 34 years, 22 percent female) who achieved HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL at week 16. Subjects were randomized 1:1 to either transition to an injectable LA C+R regimen as in ATLAS or continue oral induction therapy comprising dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine (DTG/ABC/3TC). [IAS 2019, abstract MOPEB258]
At week 48, C+R recipients reported greater improvement in treatment satisfaction vs those who remained on DTG/ABC/3TC (adjusted mean change, 4.1, 95 percent CI, 2.8–5.5; p<0.001).
Week 48 also saw a reduction in the frequency of ISRs in the C+R arm from baseline (from 71 percent to 20 percent), with a greater fraction of participants rating the ISRs as 'totally' or 'very' acceptable (55 percent and 31 percent, respectively). Statistically significant improvements in mean PIN### 'Acceptability of ISRs' dimension scores were noted from week 5 to weeks 41 and 48 (from 2.08 to 1.71 [p<0.001] and 1.66 [p<0.001], respectively).
With 99 percent of the overall cohort preferring C+R over their prior oral regimen, the FLAIR findings likewise reflected a clear preference for monthly injectable formulations despite the necessary clinic visits, noted the researchers.
Taken together, the high level of overall acceptability observed in both ATLAS and FLAIR trials suggests that the LA C+R regimen met subjects' expectations. Investigators of both trials concur that the findings support the therapeutic potential of monthly LA C+R for virologically suppressed PLHIV seeking an alternative to daily oral regimens, which could facilitate or even improve treatment adherence and enhance convenience while reducing dosing frequency.

I wanted to talk about the famine of two thousand eleven in Somalia and the malnutrition in their country at all times. In Somalia tens of thousands of people dies from the famine caused by a serious drought. It was their worst drought in over sixty years. The largest group of people who died was children under five years old. The CBN article that was posted for our class said that during this drought parts of Somalia had the highest malnutrition levels in the world. The article went on to stats shocking facts about the devastation of this famine. The drought has affected eleven million Somalians and many people are fleeing to the surrounding countries of Kenya and Ethiopia (Gartenstein-Ross).
The people are trouble surviving this because they have reserves for food, but they were quickly used up and years of poor rain do not allow them to stock large reserves. Governments can try to help, but when your country has tough climate issues only so much can be done without receiving foreign food aid. Somalia had been receiving foreign aid but the Muslim group al-Shabaad (linked to the terrorism group Al-Qaeda) has been preventing the people of Somalia from receiving aid. They recently stopped during this horrible famine (Gartenstein-Ross). This terror group involvement is another problem that the government and political leaders need to address because these groups take advantage of poor and hungry people. They will join these groups in order to receive food and water. The United States assisted during Somalia's civil war and the power of warlords is a problem throughout the region.
When people constantly struggle to have clean water and access to adequate food, overall health is severely affected. Africa in general is constantly in trouble with their ability for food and clean water. The climate is so extreme in the region and there is a constant battle for the people to survive. I read an article that referred to and said, "Professor David Himmelgreen has worked in the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida for more than a decade. He's done extensive research in Africa dealing with food, nutrition, chronic disease, and security" (Fields). He and other anthropologist try and find solutions to Somalia's problems and other African Nations. Vice-President Joe Biden's wife has led the United States aid effort to help with the drought and famine. There are other programs that constantly help this region and the main one is UNICEF. They say, "640,000 children are acutely malnourished in southern Somalia alone. Their programs support 16 stabilization centers, 201 outpatient therapeutic programs, and 325 supplementary feeding programs" (Fields).
Referring back to the problem with terrorist and militant groups disrupting aid, "When a United Nations food shipment arrived on Friday in Mogadishu, a gunfight broke out and seven people were killed. Himmelgreen says, "I think it will get better, but it won't be before a lot more children die or get very sick"(Fields). Not only do these militants take aid away from the Somalians, but also they disrupt refugees from fleeing to surrounding countries. The article says that Somalia has seven million people and over three million people needed food, water, and health care due to malnutrition.
Anthropologists like Himmelgreen knew the situation in Somalia was getting worse. He says, "They have these early warning famine systems in place. The U.S. government has one so there are sets of indicators that they look at and they can tell months in advance if there's an impending famine. But because of all the politics there was relative inaction"(Fields). It is unfortunate that politics can get in the way of what needs to happen. I think when a serious problem like this occurs people should act and let politics take place later on. The worst part is that children suffer the most. They have the least amount of representation.
Hopefully in the future there can be improvements in famine prevention, but as bad as it sounds Africa seems to never truly benefit from aid. Everything that seems to be done there is just a small band-aid on a very large wound. There are many political and government issues that need to be worked out. The countries have governments, but warlords control many countries. The saddest part is that the people suffer and without the basic human necessities of clean water, quality food, and shelter the health of the country will not improve. The amount of people dying in Somalia also takes a toll on those who survive. The mental and physical health of these people is constantly in shambles. I think anthropologist, health care providers, and political leaders are all needed to fix this lingering problem.

News__ This NFL Video is Seriously the Cutest Thing You'll See All Day
We're not sure there's anything much cuter than NFL players styling their daughters' hair. Launched by Pantene, this campaign consists of four videos showing some serious #DadDo.
The first video is of DeAngelo Williams of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's (unfortunately) in a long-term relationship and his kindergarten daughter, Rhiya, clearly has serious doubts that her dad can pull this off. He shows her up, though, with some pig tails and a bow to top it all off.
Next in line is Benjamin Watson of The New Orleans Saints. He's married— bummer, we know. The tight end gives his first grade daughter, Grace, braided pigtails. Color us impressed.
Jason Witten from the Dallas Cowboys is up next. This one is taken too— seriously, what's up with this? Jason gave his three-year-old daughter, Landry, a super cute ballerina bun. She absolutely loved it, and so did we.
In the last video, DeAngelo Williams returns with his younger daughter, Reyna, and gives her a "samurai" pony puff, complete with a tiara. She's sporting a Steelers jersey with pink pants and our hearts are melting.

A good massage is the part of every vacation to a beach, a business stays at a resort or the post-relax down of a marathon. A good massage is also a part of my weekly routine – it helps me to recharge and achieve more every next week. I try to do a massage every weekend, even if my budget is a bit tight. In this case, I always look up for the discounts and offers, for example, on Groupon.
Of course, a skilled therapist can make weeks of stress and pain go away with the right amount of pressure at the right place. This is the prime reason why massage happens to be so addictive in nature. However, while massage is extremely relaxing and is supposed to restore your energy back to high levels, often at times people leave unsatisfied. This is because they do not take the three most important things into consideration. These include the following.
Choosing the Right Therapist
This is perhaps the most crucial of all aspects. In case you end up choosing a therapist who is not suited to your specific needs, your experience will be shortlived and you will leave unfulfilled. Similarly, choosing the right therapy is also of extreme importance. Since there are a wide number of massage therapies available, you must first consider your requirements.
For instance, a deep tissue massage is more suitable for fixing movement patterns and deep knots. At the same time, this message may not be very fulfilling in case you simply want to relax. For relaxation after a very long week of stress, a Swedish massage will do the trick for you. At the same time, Sports massage and Rolfing focuses on treating injuries both mild and chronic.
So choosing the right therapist, and the right therapy is the first way to enhance your relaxing massage experience.
Using a Relaxing Body Oil
For a massage oil, there are a number of options that are available in the market. In case you have no previous experience regarding the types of oils and their effects, consult your therapist. In general, using the right massage oil can enhance your experience up to 10 times. The most popular options for massage oils in the market include sweet almond oil, apricot oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, and a lot more. The sweet almond oil happens to be the prime preference of most people. And for me too.
I love using the L'occitane Relaxing Massage Body Oil. The main ingredient of it is a sweet almond oil complemented by essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium. The sweet almond oil is extracted from almonds and has a pale yellow texture. It carries just the right amount of lubrication and gets absorbed fast. The scent is lovely without being overpowering. The oil feels so great on your skin and absorbs in completely so you do not feel as though it is going to rub onto your bedding.
Listening to Mantras During Massage
Although it is said that the effect of mantras is the best when they are recited, listening to them can have a very calming effect on your mind and your body. That combined with a relaxing touch during a massage can significantly enhance your experience. Most therapists will be able to you guide you in this regard. Alternatively, you can also listen to some relaxing music. Most massage spas will have this facility with a collection of some of the most mind-relaxing compositions out there. Do remember that the prime purpose of listening to mantras during massage is to enhance the experience. Although in essence, mantras are not said to have full effects without recitation while meditation.

They're building the state-of-the-art Sprint Center, but it's due to open late 2007/early 2008...is that soon enough?Wondering out loud here. OKC? A team? Surely you don't mean hockey. There isn't a chance in hell that OKC could EVER support a hockey team. I've been there, I've lived there, I've played hockey there. All the rinks suck because there is no interested in building anything better for people. Their roofs leak causing a horrible fog on the ice. They don't show any hockey and no one cares about it. Yeah, that's not ever going to happen. I don't think Carmen has signed up on these boards but she used to talk on the old, and she's still out there at school (OU is where we went) and she can tell you, there's maybe a thousand people in the entire state who would even watch hockey. Yeah, definitely not OKC :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Black Chicken Story
Napa's booming wineries had basically collapsed during Prohibition, decimating the demand for wine grapes. And yet, in 1937, only 4 years after the repeal of Prohibition at the tail end of the Great Depression, Pietro Biale had the grit and the foresight to plant Zinfandel vines among all his other produce on his new ranch on the valley floor. Pietro and his family could not eke out a living from their ranch alone, so Pietro worked a second job at the local rock quarry. Tragedy struck in 1942 when an explosion at the quarry took Pietro's life, leaving behind a tenacious widow, Cristina, and their 13 year-old son, Aldo. Deeply saddened but ferociously determined, Aldo and his mother shouldered the burden of the farm where they continued to grow walnuts, prunes, zinfandel and other fruits and vegetables, as well as a hundred chickens at a time. Cristina never remarried, so teenaged Aldo needed to supplement the ranch income, just like his father had done. That's when Aldo learned to make wine from his Uncle Angelo. He sold his jugs of Zin to friends and neighbors on the "down low", and the phone started ringing regularly for re-orders…The Biale's phone was a party line, so nosy neighbors could listen in on conversations, including orders for produce, eggs and a jug of Aldo's homemade wine from barrels he hid in the barn. Then, as now, any commercial activity involving alcohol was highly regulated by government agencies of various acronyms, and any violation of federal, state, or local regulations was severely penalized. So Aldo needed a way to keep the orders coming over the party line without divulging his clandestine wine operation. He needed a code name…
Aldo knew that in Italy the folkloric symbol for the wines from Chianti is the Gallo Nero — Black Rooster. That seemed an appropriate moniker for his secret wine, and a code name was born. Soon phone calls started coming over the party line with customers requesting, for example, "2 dozen eggs, some zucchini, prunes, walnuts and a Gallo Nero." Aldo's ranch was known for its legions of leghorn chickens so the code name quickly evolved from Gallo Nero (Black Rooster) to Gallina Nera — Black Chicken. In the decades to come Aldo delivered these produce & "black chicken" orders personally on Fridays in a blue 1940 Studebaker (his first car, which he eventually restored decades later to its original gleaming glory).
Not all of Aldo's grapes were made into his Black Chicken Zin. Most of the grapes were sold to St. Helena's Cooperative Winery, where they were processed into wine along with similar California old vine vineyards, filling countless bottles of good quality Gallo Hearty Burgundy. How poetic.

Miller Welding is a company that specializes in welding equipment, from MIG, or metal inert gas, welders to stick welders. When they are in working order, they are effective welding units for home or retail purposes. However, potential problems could range from an incorrectly configured machine, dirty collector rings or faulty spark plugs, and if you understand these problems you can fix them and get your welder up and running once again.
Ensure the welder is properly set up if you aren't getting any output from the unit. Ensure the "Weld/Power" switch in the "Power" position. Make sure the throttle is in the "Power" position.
Check the connections to make sure they are secure if there is no weld output, then shift the "Weld/Power" switch to the "Weld" position.
Use 120-grit sandpaper to clean the collector rings on the welder. Accumulated dirt and debris can often be responsible for incidences of the welder having low power and low weld output.
Remove your spark plug with a socket wrench and check it for dirt and corrosion, which may be impeding the running of the unit. Use a wire brush to clean the socket or replace the plug if the insulation has sustained damage.

Barcelona are interested in signing Chelsea winger Willian, according to France Football.
France Football claim that Willian is on the Catalan giant's shortlist as they look to replace Neymar, who joined Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the transfer window. Not that the calibre of the two Brazilians are comparable.
As per France Football, Barcelona have opened talks with Chelsea over the possibility of taking Willian to the Camp Nou this summer. It is reported that he partially opened the door to a move to Manchester United earlier in the transfer window, so Barcelona will likely be offered encouragement by that.
The French outlet believe that Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho and Angel Di Maria are all also targets for Barcelona as they actively look to fill the gaping void that has been left by Neymar's departure.
It's difficult to imagine that Willian is anything other than a plan-D, as all of the aforementioned, at the time of writing, are streets ahead of the 2015/16 Chelsea player of the year.

There is something so special about a quick weekend trip because you are willing to put your foot on the gas to make sure you get all the fun in on one weekend. When your turn around trip has a destination of Miami you already know it is going to be one helluva weekend. So while my trip to Miami was filled with pre-planned fun like the Museum of Ice Cream and the Veuve Carnival, I also wanted to make sure to get in some of my old and new favs to check off my list
To start the hotel. The location of your hotel can be tricky because you have to balance the cost of South Beach hotels with the convenience of being close to the action. For me being centrally located in a city where you are on the move helps you keep the party going when the wear and tear of a busy weekend may start to kick in. For this trip I pulled a sister hotel from one my Miami favs and stayed at the Redbury Miami. This hotel is new to the SLS properties and while just across the street from sister hotels like the SLS South Beach and the Delano it definitely offers its own unique twist on luxury Miami hotels. As the hotel has had recent upgrades it has a very retro renaissance vibe that is completely different. The rooms are definitely a pleasant surprise from some of the South Beach tiny quarters. With bigger spaces in both bed area and the bathroom you get more of a chance to really stretch out. What may be missing in the lux factor is definitely made up in two other important areas, price and access. Yep this hotel hits a much lower price point than say the SLS and offers breakfast as part of the room packages. To add to that attraction you also get all the access to the sister hotels such as the restaurant at the Raleigh, the pool, club and beach at the SLS and even the infamous Delano pool. If your goal is to be on the move than access alone makes the value of this hotel triple what the charges are.
Next comes the fun. Miami is a great to do a little of everything so yes to strolling clubs on South Beach and also yes to planning a more purposeful evening at a club like Liv. With the first night being filled with Museum of Ice Cream fun we decided to check out one of the tried and true bars Wet Willies. Located in the middle of ocean of course you head there for the strong frozen drinks but the crowd of all walks of life that frequents the bar is equally amazing in a people watching train crash kind of way. Sunday was of course reserved for Sunday Funday starting with the infamous brunch at Nikki Beach. While it is not for the club like atmosphere the brunch is also delicioso. With live music and dancers, food at every turn, and drinks pouring all while enjoying the ocean breeze it is a must for anyone who likes a side of fun with their food. And as if that was not enough Sunday Fun we headed to the pool at the Mandarian Oriental giving phenomenal views of the city and a posh place to relax or turn up as you choose. Later on in the night we took on the challenge of Liv which of course comes with long waits at the doors and high entrance fees. All that said wondering up on a performance of Gucci Mane and Little Wayne at the club is just a normal thing that could happen during your visit.
Finally is food. Yep there is ton of titillating treats to eat in Miami so do not dare miss out on some of the deliciousness. This time I tried something a little new with Prime Italian. With patio seating that keeps you in the middle of the action and food that is simply amazing it is a great way to add some real laughs into what could be a quiet evening. When all this is done while you stuff your face with impeccable scallop stuffed lobster there is no shortage of must haves for the night. So when in Miami for the weekend do not be afraid to take on the challenge and she just how much moving and shaking you can get done in a weekend!

Jennifer Saran's new album includes guests like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Carlos Santana and Narada Michael Walden. I previously reviewed her Christmas album. Her style of music isn't really my kind of thing, more of an adult contemporary sound mixed with pop. Still, she manages to surpass that and make it work. If you really dig that kind of stuff, you will probably be crazy about this. I will say that there is quite a range of music on this set.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2017 Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.
There is a tribal, almost reggae, vibe to this song in a lot of ways. It's energized, catchy and classy.

You may be able to tell I'm obsessed with nail polish, here's a selection of the ones I know I'm going to be getting a lot of use from.
Nails Inc Gold Goddess a beautiful antiqued gold glitter from the Alice and Olivia x Nails Inc collaboration that came out this year (see my post on the mini set here). I know I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of this all the way into the new year.
OPI It's A Piazza Cake if probably to me the best nail polish OPI has ever come out with. That was a bold statement from me but I am seriously in love with this colour! It's not like anything else I own or have really seen before. It's definitely one to try if your an orange nail polish lover, and even if you aren't I think you need it in your life! I wore it with Gold Goddess as a statement nail towards the end of September (you can see it on my instagram here) and it was literally autumn on my nails!
Essie Angora Cardi is a favourite of mine from last year, it's a gorgeous rosy mauve shade, and was almost impossible to find last autumn, I think I picked up the very last one they had in the Boots in Leeds!
Essie Bahama Mama is an autumn classic and a lot of people's favourite. To me you can't have autumn without a lot of berry tones, be that nail polish, lipstick or clothing, it's an essential. This was actually the first nail polish I used in 2015 with Essie Summit of Style on top (here). This polish is very similar to OPI In The Cable Car-Pool Lane (here) from the 2013 San Francisco Collection which I loved, but the formula of this is slightly better (I'm sorry OPI!) it has more of a creamy opaque finish than the OPI, but they're both stunning colours! One of the shades from this years Autumn/Winter collections looks really similar as well so that's another great alternative.
OPI St Mark's The Spot as I think I said in my post about this polish (here) I was surprised by just how much I liked this and how flattering it was on the nails. I wasn't expecting myself to like a shimmery royal blue quite as much as I do, and it makes a great alternative to the deep midnight blues that I usually associate with Autumn like Essie After Schoolboy Blazer or OPI Incognito in Sausalito which are also beautiful!
I realise that my edit of five nail polishes kind of ended up mentioning nine polishes, but a girl needs options! What are you loving at the moment? I might have to check it out after my self imposed new nail polish ban is over after this month!
