The Eatwell Guide and musculoskeletal health
The Eatwell Guide was published by Public Health England in March 2016 and provides advice on the amount and types of foods and drinks to provide most people with a healthy well-balanced diet. It replaced the Eatwell Plate, an earlier version of healthy eating advice in the UK.
The Eatwell Guide applies to most people, regardless of their size, dietary preferences or ethnicity. It doesn't apply to children under two because they have different nutritional needs, and children between two and five years old should gradually move to eating the same foods as the rest of the family. People with special dietary requirements or medical needs should check how to use the Eatwell Guide with their doctor or a registered dietician.
The Eatwell Guide reinforces a healthy eating message for a balanced and healthy diet:
- Eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.
- Base meals on potatoes, bread, rice, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates, choosing wholegrain versions where possible.
- Have some dairy or dairy alternatives such as soya drinks, choosing lower fat and lower sugar options.
- Eat some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins, including two portions of fish every week, one of which should be oily.
- Choose unsaturated oils and spreads, and eat these in small amounts.
- Drink six to eight cups or glasses of fluid a day.
- If eating foods that are high in fat, salt or sugar then have these less often, and in small amounts.
Can you identify which of the food groups in the Eatwell Guide contain foods that are needed for healthy muscles and bones?

Marine battery selection - Charge retention and other operating characteristics
In the previous article we learned about the two main types of batteries used on board – Alkaline and lead-acid. Both these batteries are used extensively on board a ship. So, how to choose between the two batteries for a particular application? In this article we will learn about a few points that need to be kept in mind while selecting a marine battery. Also, we will have a brief look at the operating characteristics of these batteries.
Marine Battery Selection
Just like for any other devices, the choice between the lead-acid and alkaline battery will depend upon the advantages and disadvantages of each one of them.
Lead Acid
For example a lead-acid battery needs fewer cells to reach a particular voltage, however it has a very limited life. Though priced reasonably, it is avoided due to few drawbacks. This type of battery discharges on an open circuit and needs regular attention and charging to keep it going. Moreover, in order to get an uninterrupted and smooth flow, the battery should always be kept in a fully charged condition. The main drawback of the battery is that it becomes useless if left in discharged condition for any period of time.
Contrary to a lead-acid battery, an alkaline battery retains its charge for an open circuit and is not affected if kept for a long period in discharged condition. Moreover, the battery has an ability to retain its charge on an open circuit. But an alkaline battery is comparatively more expensive and needs greater number of cells to produce a particular voltage because of its smaller nominal valve per cell. However, it requires less attention and can go on for hours without continuous charging.
Both batteries, in spite of having certain advantages and disadvantages are widely used at sea for the same basic duties.
Operating Characteristics
The operating characteristics of a battery depend on the type and capacity of the battery. A battery provides the necessary voltage and current while working in an open circuit by continuously discharging itself. Depending on the capacity, the battery will provide the current and voltage for a long or short duration of time. This capacity is measured in ampere-hour.
Once discharged, the battery is again recharged by providing electrical power. The electrical power is provided according to the capacity of the battery. During this process a bit of energy is lost due to heating of the battery and therefore an additional amount of charge is provided to fully re-charge the battery. However, this energy loss can be prevented by charging with a low current value.
There are three main types of charging methods:
- Constant current
- Constant voltage
- Trickle charge
In constant current, series resistance is reduced to increase the charging voltage. In constant voltage, a high value of current is provided which gradually reduces as the battery charges. The initial current is prevented from getting too high by the circuit resistance. In trickle charging, a very low current is passed to keep the battery continuously in peak condition and fully charged.

The Edmonton Eskimos' first move of 2013 wasn't a shuffle of players or coaches. The team's front office gained a familiar face on Tuesday, though, in its re-hiring of Allan Watt as vice president of marketing and communications.
Watt was with the Eskimos from 1980 to 1996. He started as the team's media relations director and later became the director of public relations and communications before taking on the role of assistant general manager, administration.
Watt moved up the street in 1996 to join the Edmonton Oilers, where he worked through 2012 in a number of roles that involved marketing, corporate communications, broadcasting properties and publicity.
As key figures in the Eskimos' organization return from holidays this week, thoughts will move forward to roster tweaks and March's Canadian Football League draft. Before the draft, two big upcoming dates for the Eskimos and the league will be free agency, which gets underway on Feb. 15 and the release of the 2013 schedule. Last year's schedule was made public on Feb. 18.

Can you really put colonists on Mars by 2023? An entrepreneur named Bas Lansdorp seems to think so. As the CEO of Mars One, he is enlisting top names and companies in the modern aerospace world to put ordinary people like me on Mars to begin the process of forming permanent settlements. Of course, I applied and I hope to hear by the end of October whether I made it to the next round of selections.
Mars One Introduction
Why Bother Colonizing?
That's the first question I usually get from people. Why bother expanding space efforts when there is so much crime, poverty, illness, and so on? The list of social issues that many individuals want to spend the money on would extend to about the length of the Saturn Vs used to send men to the Moon.
The simple fact is that social issues are never really going to go away. I don't even expect to find Utopia on Mars once we have a colony with a sizable population. It's just human nature. However, I'm sure that most of us know that Earth won't last forever. There are enough nuclear weapons in arsenals around the world to deep-six most of the life on this planet. An asteroid of the same size that wiped out the dinosaurs could have Earth in its crosshairs. Our population stands at 7 billion humans and counting and we're using Earth's resources at an alarming rate. Colonizing Mars will give humanity a chance to survive when the worst happens.
The cost estimates of Mars One's plans stand at $6 billion to put the first crew on Mars. That's not even a significant fraction of what the war in Iraq cost. This is about as far as I sympathize with people who say that the money could be better spent on social issues. Imagine how many meaningful, skilled jobs could have been created if NASA could have received the money spent on Iraq and used it to put a permanent base on Mars. This would have helped reduce poverty and improve the economy. Private organizations can pick up the slack and raise the funds to expand throughout the solar system.
A Few Mars One Applicants
This was a discussion panel for the "Million Martian Meeting" held in Washington, D.C. in early August 2013.
Why Me?
Credit: http://www.spacehabs.com/424528/mars-one/
Why did I put my name in? Well, this is pretty complex. I've been an article writer just about forever. When you read that product description for the wedding bands you're considering or find a blog article with useful tips on prolonging the lifespan of your wood-burning fireplace, I could have written it for a few dollars. I'm also a bit of a geek. I majored in computer networking in college and I'm also learning how to use a 3D modeling and animation program called Blender. So I suppose it's a matter of what I have that a million zillion other people don't have.
Maybe part of it is courage. I recognize that there is a risk that something catastrophic will go wrong and I'll have a painful-but-quick death. I know that Mars One has no plans for returning the colonists to Earth. I've even read the articles written (or maybe ghostwritten) by other bloggers saying that it's an obvious scam and applicants like me are a pack of fools. However, I look at the benefits along with the risks and I see that there are numerous positives that make it worth the one-way trip.
I've always supported space exploration in the sense that I would have preferred that more tax dollars go to fund new efforts and signed several petitions to that effect. I've noticed that it's one thing to say that you support space and quite another to strap yourself into the top of that rocket. Not very many people are willing to sit on top of what amounts to a hopefully controlled explosion. Am I crazy? Maybe, but now I have the chance to roll up my sleeves and participate. This isn't the kind of opportunity that I can pass up very easily.
As for spending the rest of my life on Mars, it really doesn't bother me all that much. It's a dusty, apparently lifeless planet without much of an atmosphere. I'll be confined to a living space that's not much bigger than the average house with only a few other people most of the time. Try locking yourself into a cabin with three other people and see how long you last. Obviously, it's not for everybody. However, for me, such a lifestyle is attractive because I actually enjoy solitude and routine and the occasional challenge of solving a mental problem with a time limit. I will also theoretically like the people I live with. So a lifetime on Mars can be a good thing.
If I am selected, I will be participating in a spectacular adventure that will be caught on video. The organization is using the sale of media rights to help fund the project. They see it as a source of revenue to pay the bills. I see it as a way to educate the general public about the inside world of potential colonists. Reality TV just got that much more intelligent. If it was about getting those fifteen minutes of fame in, I could take the easy route and try out for "American Idol." That's not my style, and anyway, my agenda will make use of the attention the colonists will get. My goal is simply to get to Mars and prove that it is possible to colonize so that I can inspire others to follow.
When it gets down to it, the first Martian Colonists will be a good inspiration for ordinary people who want to do something significant with their lives. Something within each of us insists that we could be the one who climbs Mons Olympus or finds a fossil of an ancient Martian insect if only we have the opportunity to do so and the courage to seize the chance when it comes. For me, that is the biggest reason to be one of the first few to colonize Mars.
It's really not about me. I'm not arrogant enough to even fool myself about the odds that I'll actually be selected. I'm one person out of the 165,000 who actually applied and it would be fairly foolish to think that there aren't candidates who are just as determined and maybe a little more capable than me. So it's not like I'm going to be one of those drama queens who manages to hang on for way too long on so many reality shows. I'm just one of the lucky ones who have the good fortune to have a chance at becoming one of the first on Mars and the courage it takes to pounce on the opportunity.

Yayyyyy it's launch day, and final day of Elzybells sneak peaks which is sad, as I really enjoy these, I have made several items for today, I have also gone for a coloured card instead of white and layering, i don't normally do coloured cards as I think it's a shame to use up gorgeous coloured card fr no one to see the back....

Outside the field of work injuries, negligence is certainly the dominant concept in accident law today, but the future of its dominance is by no means as clear as it must have seemed at the turn of the century. The sources of doubt are several. For one thing, social insurance legislation may engulf the whole, or a large part, of the field of accidental bodily injury law. If it does, the legislation might take the form of comprehensive social insurance for disability from any source, as part of the attack on the general problem of poverty. Or, it might take some form of enterprise liability, as workmen's compensation did, such as that proposed for motor vehicle accidents by Keeton and O'Connell. There is also the possibility that strict liability may further supplant liability based on fault through the common-law process by judicial decision, as it has already done to some extent in the fields of extrahazardous activities and products liability. The first question I shall explore is the effect each of these possible developments would be likely to have on the concept of negligence. Then I shall try to assess briefly the likelihood that such a development will take place.

By Silver Shield
(Editor's Note: The Silver Shield talks about psychopaths mostly at a national level. Just remember that there are psychopaths at every level. Some of the most scurrilous criminal minds in government are local and state elected officials and bureaucrats. Most men and women who strongly desire to rule over others, saying they want to be "public servants," are psychopaths. There are almost NO exceptions. Further, secession will not be completed successfully by the same psychopaths presently in office.)
It did not take long after IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested for sexual assault, did I hear people try to explain away his actions. Why would one of the world's most powerful banker in the world sexually assault a 30 year housekeeper? It has to be a disease or something, right? He must be a sex addict, right? Nope, he is just a text book psychopath. Another Elitist that seeks to control others for his own power. If you think that this is another isolated event, think again these people are everywhere in power.
I have been preparing to write a huge article on this subject of the psychopath and how these social predators are a huge threat to us all. I strongly believe that recognizing these wolves in sheep's clothing we can not only lead better personal lives, we can have a better society by not electing these predators to the power that they crave. This I feel is one of the most important subjects for people to understand, not only for their personal lives, but for our society as a whole. Once you are aware that these predators, you can prepare to keep your distance and shun them at all costs.
The psychopath in a suit is nothing like the ones that Hollywood forces on us. Axe wielding mass murderers are very rare. There is a more common psychopath that infects every level of society. Sociopaths and psychopaths show anti social behavior and an emotionless state towards the pain of others. They have an aggressive narcissism that may manifest to others as superficial charm, grandiose sense of self worth, shallow relationships, lack of remorse, and failure to accept responsibility. This personality needs constant stimulation, impulsive actions, poor behavior control and a a parasitic lifestyle. As a result they view others as a means to an end, they are sexual promiscuous and seem to excel in deception.
Most people find it incomprehensible to think that such people exist, since we tend to judge others through our our moral structure. These psychopaths do not operate like you and I do. They can commit all sorts of anti-social behavior and sleep like a baby. They lack the ability to relate to others on just about any level. What is worse that they mimic others so as to gain their trust only to feed off of their intellectual, financial, physical, intellectual, emotional or spiritual energy. They are social predators seeking to live a parasitic life off of others. They adept at manipulation and deceit and most importantly they seek control over others. This could range from an abusive relationship, a bad boss, a thieving CEO or a politician. Take a look into the mind of a psychopath.
How many times must we fall for these predators before we call them for what they are, psychopaths?
Rape a housekeeper… you might be a psychopath.
Lie to the nation about having sex with an intern… you might be a psychopath.
Having multiple public affairs while putting at risk the largest endorsements in the world… you might be a psychopath.
Cheat on your wife and have a love child with house hold staff… you might be a psychopath.
Cheat on your wife with $3,000 an hour prostitutes while prosecuting others… you might be a psychopath.
Divorce your wife while she is recovering from surgery… you might be a psychopath.
Cheat on your wife, father a love child, have a sex tape, and asking for a divorce, while your wife is dying form cancer… you might be a psychopath.
Blow a million dollar TV career on coke and hookers… you might be a psychopath.
Create financial instruments that you knew were going to blow up the housing market… you might be a psychopath.
Create a billion dollar Ponzi scheme to steal billions… you might be a psychopath.
Hide billions of losses in off the books shell corporations to pump up your stock… you might be a psychopath.
Claim that you are doing "God's work" while your company sucks the life blood out of the company… you might be a psychopath.
Show no remorse for 500,000 dead Iraqi children… you might be a psychopath.
Lie to a nation about the real reason we are going to war… you might be a psychopath.
Lie to a nation about the real strength of the dollar… you might be a banker.
Talk about coming back as a deadly virus to eradicate over population… you might be a psychopath.
Create and fund wars to steal others natural resources… you might be a psychopath.
Help support tyrannical regimes all over the world… you might be a psychopath.
Holding up the American taxpayer to bailout your buddies… you might be a psychopath.
Perpetuating a huge lie in order to to become a carbon credit billionaire and sexually assaulting a masseuse … you might be a psychopath.
These social predators have no empathy, never take responsibility for their actions and don't even see their victims as humans. The only systemic answer to this social predator is decentralized power like the founding fathers originally intended for us. Psychopaths seek to concentrate power to eliminate all limits to their power. The ultimate end of this concentration of Elite power is what we saw in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia and Mao's China. I fear that our next leader may be a psychopath who will seize total control of our lives in the disarray of a dollar collapse. I feel it is very important that we start exploring these issues and start calling these wolves in sheep's clothing for what they are, psychopaths.

Jeremy Corbyn
Jeremy Bernard Corbyn (born 26th May 1949) is a British Labour Party politician, Leader of the Labour Party and the Leader of the Opposition. Since 1983 he served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington North. Corbyn was elected Leader after Jewish leader Ed Miliband resigned due to Labour's defeat in the 2015 general election. Corbyn was born in Chippenham, Wiltshire, and was brought up in Kington St Michael. The son of David Benjamin Corbyn (aka Corben), an electrical engineer and expert in power rectifiers, and Naomi Loveday Josling, a maths teacher both parents are Communist who met during the Spanish Civil War and actively participated in Communist terror activity during the 1936 Battle of Cable Street. David Corbyn was also employed by the security services in WWII. Corbyn is also the younger brother of Marxist weather forecaster Piers Corbyn. In an interview in today's Church Times, Corbyn revealed that there was a "Jewish element" in the family. While still at school Corbyn became active in the Wrekin Constituency Young Socialists and his local Labour Party. He left school at 18 with two 'E' grade A-Levels and spent two years as an international Marxist canvasser in Jamaica followed by a brief period at North London Polytechnic, which he left without completing a degree. Corbyn was finally employed as a full-time organiser for the National Union of Public Employees and later worked as an official with the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers becoming a member of a district health authority. In 1974 the same year as the Paedophile Information exchange (PIE) was founded he was elected to Haringey Council, representing Harringay Ward until 1983. Corbyn also worked on Tony Benn's unsuccessful 1981 campaign to become Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and was elected Secretary of the Islington Borough Labour Group. An early supporter of White Genocide Corbyn was arrested in 1984 in a protest for the media outside South Africa House. He is dedicated to sexual Bolshevism and championed the repeal of Section 28 legislation which also preoccupied the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Corbyn was the only Labour MP to vote in a favour of a Liberal Democrat amendment to outlaw discrimination based on sexuality in 1998, before the introduction of the Equality Act 2006 and voted in favour of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which ultimately legalised same-sex marriage in England and Wales. He has also threatened "economic and diplomatic consequences" on those countries not supporting sexual perversion. It is also critical to note that on 6th September 2010 Derek Sawyer Corbyn's former Constituency Agent received a 21 year jail sentence for abusing 12 young boys between 1978 and 1983. Clearly a supporter of such perversion for Corbyn attacked the Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens in 1986 for drawing public attention to 'a child brothel on Islington's Elthorne housing estate' and in 1992 was given clear information about child sex rings operating in his borough but took no action. Right now Labour is in despair as Corbyn refuses to maintain the charade and admits being Marxist.

Another dissapointer customer here. I was just looking through the photos/videos I made yesterday and suddenly a crack sound. I sitched to the camera and it was all blurry and when I looked on the back of the phone I see the little window shattered in a web like pattern and sucked in like it was vacuumed.
QUESTION: Can you guys now take normal photos without this layer? Or does it serve the role of another lens and that's why it's blurry?
I pulled the glass mostly out around the lense and it's blurry and will not focus is assume it plays a role in the clarity
Another sad part would be the service; apparently the "samsung international warranty" is not so global and no authorized service wants to repair it around here (even if I give them money). I bought it from US and I am currently in Europe. Who would've guessed... a little piece of glass MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE with the region differences??? It's not like I asked for a gsm module or processor change(which honestly aren't different anyways), but for real... what's up with this Samsung?
07-21-2016 09:01 AM - edited 07-21-2016 09:06 AM
They need to fix this issue with this phone it's sad when people who depend on the camera for their job and this is what happens heck if they don't want to service this issue then they could at least send us the parts and instructions on how to do it ourselves or at least help us find the parts.
Here's a couple of pics of mine been in otterbox since day one
Just to quote directly from Samsung response, captured from live chat:
"I would like to inform you that there are no reported issues with the phone rear camera lens cracking."
"As of now we dont have a reported issues with us."
"As per Samsung Policy, any physical/liquid damage will void the warranty on the device."
"The service will be a paid service."
If you ever contact Samsung about this problem, you will get to hear this Samsung Policy, in chat (in bold by default when the agent copy-paste it) or also in voice support. Nice policy there!
then it's time to move on... Samsung starts to grow in misery pretty much like China and will soon implode just like my lens.

U.S. Chamber warns of 'double-dip' recession because of Obama policies
January 13th, 2010
By Ian Swanson, The Hill
The recession has gotten worse thanks to Obama
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue warned the U.S. faces a double-dip recession because of the taxes and regulations under consideration by the Democratic Congress and President Barack Obama.
"Congress, the administration and states must recognize that our weak economy simply could not sustain all the new taxes, regulations and mandates now under consideration. It's a sure-fire recipe for a double-dip recession, or worse," Donohue said in a speech providing the Chamber's outlook for 2010.
Donohue said the lawmakers should not let former President George W. Bush's tax cuts expire at the end of year and lambasted Democratic efforts on healthcare and financial regulatory reform as well as climate change.
If the tax cuts are allowed to expire, "we will likely end up with even bigger deficits and greater economic misery," Donohue said.

Terrell Owens often didn't do things by the book during his playing career, and that isn't changing now that he's retired and heading for the Hall of Fame.
Shortly after Owens announced that he will not attend his enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hall released a statement saying it regrets that Owens won't be part of the festivities, and noting that no Hall of Famer has ever done so before.
"We are disappointed but will respect Terrell's decision not to participate in the Enshrinement," Hall of Fame President & CEO David Baker said in a statement. "While unprecedented, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nearly 5,000 volunteers and the entire community are committed to celebrating the excellence of the Class of 2018 that will kick off the NFL's 99th season."
The Hall of Fame is hoping not to let Owens' absence overshadow the big day for the other new Hall of Famers.
"As we do not want to detract from this great honor being enjoyed by the seven other members of the Class of 2018 [Bobby Beathard, Robert Brazile, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher], their family, friends, and fans; the Pro Football Hall of Fame will have no further comment on the decision made by Terrell Owens," the Hall of Fame's statement said.
Owens has not said what he will do on the date of the enshrinement ceremony. It's unclear whether he'll stay away quietly, or host his own event.

Mistrial Declared In Cat Shooting Case
The trial of a birdwatcher accused of animal cruelty for shooting a cat ended in a mistrial yesterday after a verdict could not be reached by jurors.
Jim Stevenson, the founder of the Galveston Ornithological Society, admitted he shot a cat because he saw it hunting a threatened species of bird.
Stevenson stated that he thought the cat was a feral cat and was a threat to the birds, so he decided to shoot the cat. But a toll bridge worker claimed that the cat was his and that he took care of it which would make him the cat's owner.
A Texas state law bars the killing of domesticated animals without the owner's permission. If Stevenson was convicted, he would have faced up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The jury deliberated for 8 1/2 hours before the judge declared the case a mistrial.
Stevenson's attorney said, "The jury was hopelessly deadlocked, so the government has to decide if they are going to waste more of taxpayers' money trying this again. But they can try this a thousand times and they will never get a guilty because he didn't commit a felony."
The Assistant District Attorney said the cat's death was a "terrible thing that did not have to happen."

Second in our series called Bridges is written by Lilka Raphael over at bisforblessed.com.
He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well." Luke 17:16-19 NIV
Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Studios love to make movies about con men and audiences have spent over one billion dollars watching these exciting films. Enter Steve Comisar, an actor who has appeared in numerous movies, TV shows, and commercials. He is also a convicted con man finishing the last year of a 15-year prison sentence for fraud.
Comisar's life story has attracted continuous media buzz over the past 15 years. His social media following is enormous with over 650,000 Twitter followers and over one million YouTube views. All while sitting in federal prison.
With his release quickly approaching, Comisar is now offering the movie rights to his thrilling life story to the highest bidding producer or studio. In an attempt to rebuild his acting career a principal role in the film is also part of the deal.
Former ICM talent agent, Barry Freed, says, "Movies about con men have done exceptionally well, but this guy Comisar is not only a legendary con artist, he's also a Hollywood actor. That's what makes his story so commercially appealing."
The movie, "Catch Me if You Can" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Steven Spielberg was based on the life story of another famous con man. That movie made millions and won several Oscars. History could repeat itself here.
"Who wouldn't want to be attached to this project? It's a win-win for everyone involved," said Hollywood publicist, Laura Levine.
Comisar had acting roles in "Tough Luck," "Fists of Iron," "The Seduction of Gina," "Sister Dearest," "Throb," "Hell Town," and many other movies and TV shows. He wrote the book, "America's Guide to Fraud Prevention," which is the gold standard of the fraud prevention industry. He appeared regularly on Dateline NBC, and The View, as their on-camera consumer fraud expert. He was a guest on TV talk shows and news magazine programs over 100 times.
Comisar shares the spotlight with Robert Downey Jr., Mark Wahlberg, Tim Allen, Wesley Snipes, and Martha Stewart, who have all served time in prison.

Snapchat Have Stepped Up Their Augmented Reality Game with World Lenses
|The Tech Portal
Canny though they may be, they aren't all that sophisticated, but now Snap have introduced a new, far more advanced version of the feature. World Lenses take the concept and remove the need for a human face to fiddle with. Now, you can use the forward facing camera and apply 3-dimensional filters to whatever you happen to be looking at.
Rather than the 3D image remaining forward facing regardless of how you move about, a-la Pokemon Go, these animations actually remain static as you walk around them, allowing you to look at them from different angles as if they were actually there.
Examples of the lenses available at launch include plants which you can hurl into the ground, a sad cloud, a happy rainbow and a big, flashy 'OMG'. That might not sound like a particularly broad or imaginative range, but it's just the first wave. The normal lenses are updated daily and it will be the same with the new ones. It would also be safe to assume that we'll also eventually see branded content added into the mix.
This release allows for a bit more insight into where Snap's interests lie. Last month their IPO value went up - $28.3 billion - but investors didn't show as much interest as expected. This, combined with the ever increasing threat of Facebook and Instagram, means they need to try harder than ever to demonstrate value. With World Lenses, they're offering something which no other app or platform can.

As a Compton resident and cultural film critic, I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to see Straight Outta Compton. As with any movie that seeks to depict "the hood," I wondered if this one would advance or regress the narrative surrounding Black lives, a question that is always at the forefront of my mind when assessing films. To my delight, Straight Outta Compton was not only entertaining, but also spoke to our current situation in a way that I was not expecting. In an engaging two and a half hours, the film provided insight into the dynamic history of NWA, perfectly captured the racial and political climate of the early 90s, and served as a moving tribute to the late Eazy E.
But while I appreciate the film for its scathing critique of police brutality, I could not excuse the way that women were portrayed and reduced down to mere accessories. Of the women featured in the film, all of them were either topless, twerking, or tragically underdeveloped. Aside from Dr. Dre's mother, who is introduced mid-rant, there was not one female character that existed independently of a man. Though the film is about an all-male rap group, there were plenty of missed opportunities to humanize and add dimension to the women in their lives.
The erasure was so glaring that even the most unsuspecting eyes could catch it. By the time a woman other than Dr. Dre's ranting mother finally spoke, it felt forced and out of place. As the deliberate cast of light-skinned women finally began to recite their lines, it got so awkward that people in the audience started questioning what was going on. As I shook my head and raised my hands in confusion, the guy next to me murmured "what?" in response to yet another contrived line of female dialogue. I can't go into depth without giving away spoilers, but I'm definitely interested in dissecting the film scene-by-scene at a later date. (Stay tuned.)
While there is no doubt that women are routinely degraded and objectified in hip-hop circles, that is not an excuse to repeat the same patterns in films pertaining to hip-hop communities. Instead of drawing attention to the fact that the women in these men's lives were mistreated and, in some cases, abused, the film normalized this behavior and perpetuated the same cycle of violence and erasure.
To the filmmakers' relative credit, other prominent characters—namely MC Ren and DJ Yella—also suffered from hollow development. Fortunately, there were plenty of fully fleshed out men to make up for this oversight. In the case of the women, however, there was no silver lining. In keeping with the traditions of Hollywood, the film failed to give women the same amount of attention and detail freely given to men. Although this was not surprising, it was most certainly disappointing given the film's other revolutionary qualities.
As we saw, women were integral to the development and success of the men in NWA. As such, their characters should have been given the same level of depth and humanity that were afforded the male characters. And for the record, this is not about wanting to turn a male-centered movie into a feminist manifesto. This is about giving women the screen time and character development that they deserve. In the event that additional scenes that delved deeper into their lives had to be cut for time's sake, my question is: why? Why was their development regarded as non-essential to the story if, in fact, it was?
Since the films release, many of my Facebook friends have been questioning why so many feminists are expecting and demanding more from male filmmakers. To that, I say that I expect more from everyone who is profiting off of the communities that they are underrepresenting. I expect more from all filmmakers, especially Black filmmakers, given that we've experienced this form of erasure and misrepresentation firsthand.
My grievances are less about Straight Outta Compton and more about the routine disregard for female characters in film. I would never expect a script featuring underdeveloped characters to get made, and yet it happens all the time, but only to characters who happen to be women. Women who happen to always be supporting, but never principal to the story.
My issue was never with the hundreds of scantily clothed women congregated around fully-clothed men at a pool party. Parties like the ones depicted happen in real life and were a part of NWA's culture. To debate that would be nonsensical. My issue lies with this film's erasure of the women who were supposed to be more than big butts and light skin. The women who attended multiple recording sessions and business meetings. Why were their names only mentioned in passing? Why were their stories an afterthought? Because they weren't important or simply because they were women?
I initially had a hard time understanding why both men and women alike were so eager to defend this aspect of the film, but then I remembered that this is how sexism is supposed to work. We're trained to subjugate and disregard women and then question those who challenge their oppression. We're taught to default to male-centered narratives, even if we evade nuance by excluding the female perspective. We're supposed to defend men at the expense of women, even if the women are right.
The proper response to my critiques should not be "shut up and go make your own movie." No form of art is ever exempt from critique, and by dismissing the very real concerns of women, you are only doing the work of male supremacy. Not to mention, such a response ignores the fact that women are deeply underrepresented in the film industry and often lack the resources to "go and make their own movie."
I write about the representations of women and people of color in media because it directly pertains to me. As a filmmaker and as a Black woman, I feel that it is my responsibility to raise the concerns that only I can. I do this because, unfortunately, most men aren't thinking about how the erasure of women within their scripts impacts society at-large, just as most white people aren't considering the implications of casting Black folks in stereotypical and subordinate roles.
I shouldn't have to choose between supporting a Black film and defending a woman's right to a basic character arc. Black films that seek to advance the narrative should be inherently intersectional, for it is not truly revolutionary unless it includes all of us. That is not to say that every film needs to feature a character from every oppressed demographic imaginable in order to be considered progressive. But it does mean that all characters within the context of any given story are deserving of depth and attention, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
Overall, Straight Outta Compton truly was a great film and brought new life to a group and culture that is largely misunderstood. From the creative genius and drama behind our favorite hip-hop jams to the radical politics that changed a nation, the film accurately depicted one of the most important times in hip-hop history. For these reasons, I support the film as a whole and plan to see it again, but I refuse to stay silent in the name of faux solidarity.


text: When Zoe (Rachel Bilson) goes in search of some family history in Bluebell, she discovers that she is a legacy to the Bluebell Belles. Of course, once Lemon (Jaime King) catches wind of the news, she makes it her sole mission in life to make sure Zoe doesn't become an official Belle and puts her through a humiliating initiation. With the help of Wade (Wilson Bethel), Lavon (Cress Williams) attempts to jump back into the dating scene, but he finds it difficult because Didi (guest star Nadine Velazquez) is telling everyone that he's in love with her. Meanwhile, George (Scott Porter) devises a plan to stop a huge chainstore from building near Bluebell and as a result driving business away from the town.

Terminal concessions in seaports have only recently gained interest in academic circles. Issues such as the allocation mechanisms (to be) used for granting those concessions, the determination of the concession term and concession fees, as well as the inclusion of special clauses aimed at assuring that the terminal operator will act in the interest of the port authority and the wider community, are increasingly relevant to both academics and the port industry. So far, insights from established economic theories have rarely been applied to terminal concessions in seaports. It, therefore, remains to be seen which kind of awarding procedure would be best for which type of terminal concession. This contribution provides a detailed overview of the different phases of the terminal awarding process, including a classification scheme for awarding procedures, and contains an extensive discussion on the economic issues that require further investigation. The paper concludes by proposing a comprehensive research agenda on the topic. ?

The Sport of 3 Gun at Quinton Sportsmen's Club
The fastest growing and most exciting shooting sport out there right now is 3 Gun or multi-gun competitions. If you are not familiar with 3 gun, you are encouraged to watch a match and learn before you try. The best part is that you don't really need any special equipment to start and anyone can play. 3 Gun consists of a set of courses in which you shoot three different guns – rifle, pistol and shotgun – at different stages and engage various short and long distance targets from various positions. Generally, any rifle over .223 caliber is in (including PCC-pistol caliber carbine), and shotgun with 20ga or larger (using #6, #7.5 or #8 shot) will work and a 9mm or larger caliber handgun is good to go. We will follow the rules set by the Quinton Sportsmens Club listed here on the rules page.
Scoring is based on time and hits minus penalties, with each stage consisting of different scenarios and degree of difficulty. Basically, the shooter who hits the most targets in the least amount of time wins. It's very exciting, requiring a combination of safety, shooting speed and accuracy with different guns.
Remember, this is New Jersey so know our gun laws and magazine capacities:
- Rifle - .223 and up, semi-auto is choice (bigger means more recoil and harder to follow shots), magazine capacity for semi-auto is 10 rounds, 150 rounds needed for a match.
- Pistol – 9mm and up, semi-auto is choice (same as above, bigger means big recoil), magazine capacity semi-auto is 10 rounds, 150 rounds needed for a match.
- Shotgun – 20 gauge and up, 12 gauge semi-auto is choice, magazine capacity for semi-auto is 6 in tube, one in chamber, no capacity limit for pump shotgun, bring 150 rounds, use maybe half (#6, 7.5, or 8) and 20 rounds of slugs.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Receptos Inc. today announced that company personnel will deliver two scientific poster presentations about RPC1063 at the Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) annual meeting in Lyon, France, from October 10 to 13, 2012. For a quarter of a century, ECTRIMS has served as Europe's and the world's largest professional organization dedicated to the understanding and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). RPC1063 is the company's lead sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 receptor (S1P1) agonist in development for both MS and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The first Receptos abstract, titled, "Safety and tolerability of orally administered RPC1063, a novel S1P1 receptor agonist, in healthy adult volunteers," discusses the assessment of RPC1063 in a single and multiple ascending daily dose Phase 1 clinical trial.
The second Receptos abstract, titled, "RPC1063, a potent, selective S1P1 receptor modulator, is active in a therapeutic EAE model and exhibits favorable PK/PD properties in healthy volunteers," characterizes the preclinical specificity, potency and efficacy, as well as the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RPC1063.
"The combined preclinical and Phase 1 clinical data relating to RPC1063 reveals a potential best-in-class profile in the S1P1 agonist class," said Faheem Hasnain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Receptos. "The acceptance of these scientific data presentations at ECTRIMS underscores the enthusiasm on the part of clinical investigators to explore the novel profile of RPC1063 in multiple sclerosis patients in upcoming efficacy trials."
About RPC1063 and S1P1 Modulators
RPC1063 is a novel, differentiated S1P1 selective modulator exhibiting picomolar potency that is effective in rodent models of both MS and IBD, and possesses an excellent safety profile in non-clinical toxicology studies. Receptos has completed a Phase 1 clinical safety study with RPC1063 under a US IND that supports the desired differentiation profile and establishes justification for initiation of MS and IBD clinical efficacy trials in 2012. S1P1 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds the lipid signaling molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a circulating lipid that binds to five GPCRs termed S1P1-5. S1P1 selectively regulates physiological functions in the immune and cardiovascular systems, including immune cell trafficking and the maintenance of endothelial integrity. In autoimmune disorders, S1P1 agonism works by selectively sequestering circulating lymphocytes, blunting the underlying cause of disease.
About Receptos
Receptos is a biopharmaceutical company developing autoimmune therapeutic candidates through information - driven drug discovery, including GPCR structure determination. The company's lead program, RPC1063, is a potential best-in-class S1P1 small molecule modulator candidate for autoimmune indications. Patents supporting RPC1063 were exclusively licensed to Receptos from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). The discoveries originated in the NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Center at TSRI, which is part of the NIH Common Fund Molecular Libraries initiative (http://commonfund.nih.gov/molecularlibraries/). Receptos' expertise in S1P1 biology has been informed by the company's high resolution protein crystal structure of the S1P1 receptor, published in Science earlier this year. Receptos has established partnerships for its GPCR structure determination technology platform with Eli Lilly, Ono Pharmaceutical and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Natural for young men
It is very natural for young men to be vehement, acrimonious and severe. For as they seldom comprehend at once all the consequences of a position, or perceive the difficulties by which cooler and more experienced reasoners are restrained from confidence, they form their conclusions with great precipitance. Seeing nothing that can darken or embarrass the question, they expect to find their own opinion universally prevalent, and are inclined to impute uncertainty and hesitation to want of honesty, rather than of knowledge.

Every year during the Thanksgiving holidays, my husband's family has a fun tradition of making handmade Christmas ornaments. It's always been fun to have all the generations together, working on projects together. It's fun to see what everyone comes up with--we all do the same basic craft, but everyone has a different style.
This year we made these elegant ribbon-covered bulbs.
My mother-in-law has quite a large stash of ribbon, so these bulbs were easy to make--we simply used regular glass bulbs (we were hoping for shatter-proof, but you get what you get and you don't throw a fit), and raided the storage containers of ribbon.
It was fun to let the little ones be free to choose whatever they wanted on them--they came up with all sorts of interesting combinations: teal with mauve, green sequins with orange, etc.
Anyway, making them is a cinch:
1) You simply measure out how much ribbon is needed to go around the bulb and cut it to length.
2) Use a hot glue gun (preferably low-temp since your fingers are going to be pressing the ribbons on) to secure the ribbon at the top, along the sides and back around to the opposite side.
And that is it! Add ribbon to your heart's content. I personally thought, "the more the merrier!"

Live Wire
(Maggie, Book One)
A What Doesn't Kill You
World Romantic Mystery
Publisher: SkipJack Publishing
Publication Date: March 6, 2019
Number of Pages: 270
A hook-up turned lethal. A spurned, angry cowboy. Can rebel Maggie turn the tables before a killer adds her to the list of lost causes?
Washed-up alt-country rocker-turned-junker Maggie Killian is pulled to Wyoming by an irresistible force . . . former bull rider Hank Sibley, the man who broke her heart fifteen years before. When she unexpectedly meets his Sunday school-teaching girlfriend at a saloon, Maggie seeks liquor-fueled oblivion between the sheets of a younger man's bed. But after her beloved vintage truck breaks down and leaves her stranded in the Cowboy State, she learns her hook-up died minutes after leaving their rendezvous. Suddenly surrounded by men with questionable motives, Maggie searches for the murderer while fighting the electricity between herself and her old beau, and her new penchant for local whiskey.
When the police zero in on Maggie despite a disturbing series of break-ins at her guest cabin, she realizes she's got no one to rely on but herself. To keep herself happily in bars instead of behind them, she must stop the killer before the cops realize the man she really suspects is a jealous, angry Hank.
Live Wire is the first standalone book in a trilogy featuring sharp-tongued protagonist Maggie Killian from the addictive What Doesn't Kill You romantic mystery series. If you like nerve-racking suspense, electric characters and relationships, and juicy plot twists, then you'll love USA Today best seller Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Silver Falchion award-winning series.
