No, mad scientists weren't involved in growing a pea-sized human brain in a laboratory. Maybe ones who are a little crazy about using the mini-brain they grew to research birth defects, schizophrenia, and autism, among other disorders affecting human brains — but, not mad.
The scientists are attempting to do nothing less than to transform the entire study of neurological disorders with the creation of the pea-sized brain. It's a lofty goal, but they just might succeed at doing that, because the growth of the mini-brain will be very useful for conducting research of all types into brain developments and brain disorders.
The tiny pea brains are not advanced enough to process thoughts. The scientists have managed to grow them to about the size and development level as a two-month-old fetus.
Who are the scientists behind the growth of the pea-sized human brain?
The group of scientists behind the creation and growth of the pea-sized brain are from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. They are made up of biologists at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna, and the study that they wrote about growing the mini-brain from human stem cells was published recently in the scientific journal, Nature. These intrepid individuals, pioneers in the science of neurology, have already used the mini-brain to do research on defects in brain development.
The scientists also plan to use the pea-sized brain to research schizophrenia, autism, and other disorders of the brain.
What did the scientists grow the pea-sized brain in?
The scientists grew the relatively uncommon human organ in a very common container you've likely seen and possibly used in school experiments: a petri dish.
Yes, the same type of container you may have used in an experiment to grow mold, breed one-celled organisms, and used as visual elements in science fairs.
It turns out, these highly versatile containers are also ideal for growing wee tiny brains, the size of a pea. No self-respecting zombie would snack on them, as one would be too small to satisfy their insatiable hunger.
Still, the tiny brains are ideal for conducting research. It should come as good news to science hobbyists that complicated expensive equipment isn't necessary to grow your own brain — just pop out to your friendly neighborhood laboratory supply store, or buy petri dishes online. Satisfy your inner mad scientist.
The mini-brain the scientists grew is only about 3 to 4 millimeters in size. It doesn't look much like any human brains that you might have seen before; it's really more like three dimensional sections of tissue.
The pea-sized human brain does have distinct regions to it that are easily identifiable, if you're into neuroscience. You can make out the ventral forebrain, the dorsal cortex, and even an immature retina, it you know what to look for.
According to Popular Science, study coordinator Juergen Knoblich says of the mini-brain's organization:
The parts are correctly organized, but not put together."
Knoblich contiued, saying the mini-brain was like a car:
…where you have an engine, you have the wheels — but the engine is on the roof… that car would never drive, but you could still take that car and analyze how an engine works."
It just goes to show that even a pea-brain can benefit science. Be the first one on your block to grow your own human brain inside your basement lab or hollow mountain lair.

SHE finds catharsis in doing standup comedy. He has an itch to scratch in doing devised forms of theatre. Together, Hannan Azlan and Tung Jit Yang hope to make people laugh a little with their "musical" called Losertown.
Kuala Lumpur-born Hannan is making headlines with her quirky, ukulele-playing style of comedy after her performance at the 2013 Short+Sweet festival at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre.
After winning the 2016 Hong Kong International Comedy Competition, the 23-year-old got a call from her fellow Theatre for Young People (T4YP) alumnus, Tung, on doing an experimental piece on musicals.
"He's an evil genius to me," says Hannan of the 27-year-old graduate of New York's Tisch School of the Arts and currently The Actors Studio's director in-Residence at KLpac. "So, I said yes. The title 'Losertown" came to me in the shower," she adds matter-of-factly.
In the show, Hannan will be backed by musicians Coebar Abel, Endee Ahmad, Ian Francis Khoo and Khairil Imran.
Tung, who did Riwayat last December when on a six-month residency with theatrethreesixty, says: "'Losertown' is a devised piece that draws from the musical genre, stand-up comedy, and maybe musical theatre. It's a reaction to musicals as we know it. Doing devised performances and shows stems from an itch I want to scratch."
Tung has earlier expressed doing devised plays as starting from "a seed of an idea, or a question, or an urge to say something. But that's it. Something invisible. Nothing on the stage yet. Nothing on the page. Just this invisible something."
"Losertown," says the Klang Valley native, " draws from Joseph Campbell's THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. The hero from the small town goes to New York City and becomes famous or whatever.
"So, I asked what makes their journey, the hero's journey. I asked the musicians, and it was music that saved them. So, they have stories to tell too, in Losertown.
"I was inspired by a classmate who didn't like musicals but because of that he challenged himself. I am not a huge fan of musicals myself.
"Yet I liked what Hannan did in Short+Sweet. I liked the authenticity in her work. She did comedy and actually played music on stage.
"It was comedy but it wasn't all jokes. I knew her as an actor from T4YP, and then she did comedy! It kind of disrupted the formulaic idea of musicals and musical theatre.
"When I wanted to do this 'musical', I thought of her."
That makes the young artiste smile, as she adds: " Losertown has stuff I want to express, like death of a loved one, to put it into perspective and get some closure."
So personal, maybe even autobiographical, you wonder, to which she says: "Somewhat inspired by what has happened in my life. Doing standup comedy, it's like saying something people have been thinking.
"The best part is when I am being real on stage. You know, you can't recreate jokes, so when you are real on stage, there is a deeper connection with the audience. Standup comedy offers a limitless amount of what you can do. I now perform 5 times a week, and I put on shows at 11.30pm. I though no one would come, but I held one session at Crackhouse Comedy (Club in Taman Tun Dr Ismail), and the room was filled!"
Losertown will be a welcome break for Hannan as she will be working with an ensemble as opposed to being a lone wolf on stage.
The performance space is also different in that it is tucked away in a corner of the sprawling grounds of KLpac. "It feels like a trip, kinda like going walking with us," she says.
"There's an immersive feel about the whole show with this space," adds Tung.

Most stories have a happy ending. But sometimes they don't.
Esther said: "And if I perish, I will perish." The Gemara (Megilla 15a) comments: "Just as I lost my father's house [from which she was orphaned], so will I lose you [Mordechai]." Why was Esther to lose Mordechai?
When Mordechai heard that Haman's decree had been issued, he saw that the situation was dire, so he asked Esther to approach Achashverosh and plead on behalf of the Jewish people. Yet acceding to this request involved paying an excruciating price.
In fact, Esther was married to Mordechai. She would go from intimacy with Achashverosh to intimacy with Mordechai (ibid. 13b). How was this permissible? It is known that a woman who commits adultery is forbidden to her husband forever.
The reason that Esther's intimacy with Achashverosh was not considered adulterous was that were she to refuse the king's summons, she would have been summarily executed. Since she was a totally unwilling participant in relations with Achashverosh, she remained permitted to her true husband, Mordechai, just as any rape victim (other than the wife of a Kohen) is permitted to return to her husband.
However, when Mordechai asked her to approach Achashverosh, she knew that this involved incurring an irreparable loss. For approaching Achashverosh would involve initiating intimacy, and this would entail a certain degree of willingness, rendering her forever forbidden to Mordechai. Although it was permitted for her to actively make herself available to Achashverosh (special dispensation is given to allow adultery for the purpose of saving the Jewish people), as a consequence, she would be forbidden to Mordechai regardless.
Esther paid the ultimate price. She forfeited her husband, and not just any husband, but the great Mordechai HaTzaddik. She sacrificed her personal life and marital fulfillment irrevocably for the sake of the Jewish people.
The Jewish people were saved, but for Esther, there was no happy ending. (By the same token, of course, Mordechai made the same sacrifice, for he knew that if Esther would follow his directive, he would forfeit his relationship with her.)
I am reminded of Jonathan Pollard, who has paid such a devastating price for his selfless sacrifice for the Jewish people. Countless Jewish lives were saved, but ever since, Jonathan Pollard's life has been hell on earth, and there seems to be no end in sight, according to the natural order (may he be released miraculously as soon as possible).
Who knows, one day we may be required to give up something personal that is infinitely precious and irregainable for the sake of saving other Jews. If, G-d forbid, we are given this challenge, may we be blessed with the inner strength to make whatever sacrifice is necessary, and do so with joy.

Here we go everything, here is the overall story of the script / story / eventual film I'm writing, entitled ADVENT. It's an action packed tokusatsu style concept, based on a comic book idea myself and a friend had called "Zero Hour". I've taken some ideas, and reworked them into a real good armored hero piece. It borrows elements from different comics and different things-such as Kamen Rider and Guyver.
Here it goes. Introducing: ADVENT!
The Backstory
In the distant future, the American Government spends the tax payers dollar on genetic research. Specificially-research involving meshing the genes of a human, with that of extra terrestrial origins. One of the lead benefactors in this type of research is Jonathan Drake, and his company-Xavrael Medical-which is the global leader in genetic engineering. For all the good Xavrael Medical has done-such as finding cures for diabetes and some of the most common forms of cancer-they also have a dark seedy underside to them. Black market deals, back door benefits, Government contracts and a mindset deep within the Occult.
Xavrael Medical stumbled across a weapon during the Roswell crash in the 1950s, a weapon that they have spent decades researching and unlocking. A weapon they call "The Advent Unit"
Based on the translations found within a crashed alien vessel, "The Advent Unit" served as a weapon, by beings only refered to as "The First". They story of Earth's history found in the texts discovered are extremely different from what we know and understand. The Earth was created as a breeding ground. A huge living experiment by "The First"-an experiment that was continued on by their very own personal pet projects: Humanity.
Drake and his company discovered this frightening intel, and decided to follow in The First's footsteps, and continue their unfinished work-force the next phase in Human evolution.
Xavrael Medical locked The Advent Unit away, and began work on what would become known as The Rage Virus. A process that turns humans into what Drake and The First believe are the next steps in human evolution: The Reaper.
Reapers are beastlike monsters, often confused through-out history with werewolves and vampires. A human must undergo an extremely painful genetic process to become a Reaper.
During Drakes rise to global power, his company bought out every major medical, genetic, and industrial company available. This lead to The Dark War-in which humans who did not want to go in for the Rage Virus treatments were pushed into over crowded ghettos, rounded up and slaughtered. Drake introduced a militant police force, that he called "The Fifth Reich"-to round up the inferior human population. Enter Professor Noah Miller.
Prof. Miller worked side by side with Drake for nearly a decade, responsible for destroying more lives than anyone else on the force. When his son, Zane, was recruited from a local prison camp to under go the Rage Treatment-he had a change of heart. He stole The Advent Unit-and gave it to Zane, locking its power deep within his mind. He staged an accident that seemingly "killed" Zane-who had since bonded with The Advent Unit unknowingly.
After being disposed of as a reject, Zane awakens in a slum. His memory gone-and his only identification a pair of dogtags around his neck that simply read "Zero".
Zane is assisted by a group of resistance fighters-forced to live in these slums by the Reich. Warren Jameson, a former Marine who acted as the leader of the brigade. A stoic individual who is the first to realize that something isn't quite right with Zane. He serves as a father figure to Zane-while he unlocks his memory and finds out his destiny, to be the savior of humanity, as an armored warrior known to the masses…as Advent Zero.

A mistake seen all too often is the "more is better" approach that some people take when using flea products. More is NOT better when it comes to chemicals or medications! Following package directions is essential when using over the counter products and medications. Only buy products that are labelled for use on the species you will be using them on (dog, cat, etc.). Cats in particular are very sensitive to drugs and chemicals - be sure to read all labels carefully.
Flea shampoos
A shampoo, or "flea bath" is a good first attack on fleas for the pet that has large numbers of fleas visible on its body. Cats can be difficult to bathe. It is important to realize that a flea shampoo is not intended for lasting control. Many people are surprised when they see fleas and it was "only a week ago" that the pet had a flea bath. Shampoos are only effective for a day or less. They leave little residual chemical on the animal when properly used.
Flea collars
Flea collars work one of two ways - by emitting a toxic (to fleas, anyway) gas, and by being absorbed into the animal's subcutaneous fat layer. The toxic gas is usually only effective in the immediate area of the head and neck. This type of collar is best used in the vacuum cleaner bags to kill any fleas vacuumed up. The collars that absorb into the subcutaneous fat are much more effective, such as Seresto collars for cats and dogs.
Flea powders and sprays
Flea powders and sprays offer short term (2-3 day) protection from fleas, and with some products, ticks and mites too. Powders and sprays have fallen out of favour recently with the newer spot-on treatments that are available. Most flea powders and sprays are only effective for adult fleas, some offer additional flea protection by inhibiting flea egg and larval development.
Spot-on treatments
Common brand names include: Advantage, Frontline , Broadline just to name a few. Please consult with your veterinarian for the best choice for your pet(s).
These products are applied between the shoulder blades of the pet, and typically last about one month. Spot-on treatments are effective for adult fleas. Some include ingredients to inhibit the larva from emerging from the flea egg and some are active against larval development as well.
There are also some that include a wormer to provide ongoing control of roundworms. These include Revolution and Advocate.
Please be aware that they do not control tapeworms.
Oral medications
Flea "pills", such as Comfortis work by stopping the larva from emerging from the flea egg. Fleas ingest the blood of animals on these medications, and the female fleas then lay eggs that are unable to hatch. They do NOT kill adult fleas. These medications are essential to break the flea life cycle and stop the flea problem when used in conjunction with flea adulticide treatments.
Flea control for your house and yard
Only about 10% of the flea population (mainly the adults) are on your pet. The flea eggs, larvae, pupa, and the few adults that reside in the carpeting, bedding, and living areas make up approximately 90% of the flea population. Neglecting this population of fleas will ensure that the flea problem will continue and worsen over time.
Daily vacuuming - this is very important for overall flea eradication. This will pick up (and get rid of) adults, eggs, larvae and pupae before they develop. Putting a flea collar in the vacuum bag and emptying the bag frequently are also important; otherwise, the fleas will hatch, develop, and leave the vacuum to re-infest the living quarters. Dispose of the vacuum bag properly and frequently.
Wash all bedding, clothing, and removable furniture covers regularly (weekly).
Apply insecticide to home and yard - There are many options, foggers and flea bombs, or treatments by a professional exterminator. Follow all instructions very carefully; remove all pets, people, and cover all food in the environment before applying insecticide. Make sure everything is dry and it is safe to return according to package directions. Take special precautions for pets and children - eating or putting items in their mouth, etc.

Andy Core is an expert in Work-Life Balance, Personal Wellbeing and Peak Human Performance.
Many of you are not aware how much the food you eat affects your life. Your body needs vital nutrients to survive, the most common and essential ones are proteins, carbohydrates and fats. All of these contain calories which are transformed to energy to fuel your body. Without these three nutrients your body can't survive.
You will find most of your proteins are in meats such as chicken and other poultries, meats such as beef and pork, and fish and all types of seafood. Vegetable-based proteins are derived mostly from soy products such as tofu, and peanuts and other nuts such as almonds. Many dairy products such as cheese and eggs contain proteins.
Also, fats are important in your diet because without fats your brain will not function properly. So always make sure to eat fats, these can be derived from cheeses, butter and oils. Some fats are more beneficial than others for best brain functioning and it is also important to avoid excessive intake of fats in your diet that can cause too much weight gain.
With such a well-balanced diet your overall health will improve drastically if you have not had such balance, and the risk of you having diseases as you get older decreases. The key to optimum benefit is long-term consistency.

The date is Oct. 8. Ohio State men's hockey comes in at No. 1 in the USCHO.com poll before even playing a game this season.
The Buckeyes bring the vast majority of their talent back from the season before, a season where they stunned college hockey on the way to making a Frozen Four run, the second in the program's history.
Sure, Ohio State loses Matthew Weis, the third-best scorer on the team, but Weis was injured throughout the entirety of the NCAA tournament, so the players coming back are well aware of their ability to make it without him.
Ohio State loses a strong defenseman in Janik Moser, as well as some solid depth players in Christian Lampasso, Kevin Miller and Luke Stork. But it brings back much, much more.
The date is Feb. 9. Ohio State is the No. 2 team in the country on the back of a seven-game win streak, and is playing up to the lofty expectations put before it.
Then it all went up in smoke.
For a team that had all the talent, all the experience and all the core pieces it needed to not only get back to the Frozen Four, but win it, all it took for Ohio State to throw it all away was losing the chip on its shoulder that it had through the past three seasons.
Growing complacent after all but sealing both the Big Ten and their tournament bid, the Buckeyes went 1-6-1 in their final eight games, looking like a shell of their former selves.
In 2017, Ohio State squeaked its way into the tournament, a major win for the program in its own right, then took the eventual NCAA runner-up to overtime before falling 3-2.
In 2018, the Buckeyes squeaked its way into a No. 1 seed, were still considered the underdog in their region and proceeded to put a beatdown on Denver, the reigning national champions, before losing to the team that would eventually win the tournament.
Both of those losses were to Minnesota Duluth. Ohio State would have had to make the final for the potential to play the Bulldogs for a third time.
Anyone who watched this team the past six weeks knew that was not going to happen.
Through losing six of its final eight games, Ohio State's consistent offense went missing, its' even more consistent defense and goaltending turned to swiss cheese and the motivation that was evident throughout the locker room to win the whole thing turned from action to simply words.
It seemed the Buckeyes found their wake-up call in the Big Ten tournament, getting embarrassed as the No. 1 seed by Penn State in a 5-1 beatdown on Ohio State's home ice.
Captain and senior forward Mason Jobst saw the lack of drive from his team that day. He thought Ohio State could flip the switch come NCAA tournament time.
"If [Penn State] lost tonight, their season was actually over, and as much as I hate to say, maybe we didn't have that desperation because we kind of knew that we were in the tournament," Jobst said. "Now, as a senior class, the true desperation is gonna come out … our lives are on the line every single game from here on out."
Ohio State dropped to a No. 3 seed because of its' late-season struggles, and got a rematch with Denver in the first round, a year after beating the Pioneers 5-1 to advance to the Frozen Four.
Denver had the chip on its shoulder the Buckeyes had for the past two seasons. That was gone now, and the Pioneers came out with a 2-0 victory, officially eliminating Ohio State, ruining the program's greatest chance to win a national championship it has ever had.
The Buckeyes only have themselves to blame.
The Denver-Ohio State game was a tight one, and one the Buckeyes certainly had a chance to win. Ohio State outshot the Pioneers 24-13, and only gave up one goal prior to pulling sophomore goalie Tommy Nappier.
But that's not really the point. The point is that Ohio State shouldn't have had to play Denver again, and most certainly not in the first round.
The date is March 30. Ohio State should be preparing for its' second round matchup in the season that this program has dreamed about for the past four years since Jobst's impressive freshman season, and likely for much longer before that.
Instead, the players are forced to watch from afar, only left to think about what went so wrong so fast.
Next year, the same high expectations likely won't be there.
Jobst is gone, leaving behind one of the greatest individual legacies the program has ever seen. Joining him is Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Sasha Larocque, goalie Sean Romeo and key contributors like Dakota Joshua, Freddy Gerard, John Wiitala and Brendon Kearney.
This was the year for Ohio State to win its' first national title.
Instead, it was bounced in the first round to a team it thoroughly outplayed a season ago.
There was something special about that Frozen Four team in 2018, and it wasn't necessarily the talent.
But this year, with increased talent and increased expectation, the Buckeyes crumbled and faltered, leaving nothing but unknowns about if the players returning for next season can still pick up all the pieces.

Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better. – Edsger Dijkstra, The threats to computing science
Tag: Salesforce
While Salesforce provides a variety of tools to automate structured business processes, it does not provide the same level of functionality for "unstructured" processes (better referred to as "situational" processes – an unstructured process is an oxymoron). Thus, Salesforce tools must be augmented by tools that better support the increasingly complex, dynamic, and fragmented nature of work.
Citizen developers are here to stay and will fundamentally change the future of IT work. How you embrace them will determine the future of IT within your organization and the role IT plays in the creation of new innovative business practices. – Mike Rollings (Gartner), Citizen Development: Reinventing the Shadows of IT
Corporate IT is starting to strangle citizen developers on the Salesforce platform.
The Salesforce platform has been a tremendous gift to citizen developers. Citizen developers are end users who create business applications without the involvement, or with limited involvement of corporate IT. This collective effort across the organization is often referred to as Shadow IT.
The Business Operations Platform externalizes the control of processes away from individual applications. It makes them equal peers, subjugated to the Business Operations Platform layer that controls the execution of the processes, the provision of services, and the delegation of tasks or activities to the individual applications according to their specific uses and needs.
– Peter Fingar, The Business Process Platform in the Sky
You could create your own business operations platform by cobbling together disparate social, mobile, process and cloud products. Or you could simply use the comprehensive, integrated, extensible, and ready-to-go Salesforce platform.
It is dawning on many of our clients that there are many advantages to leveraging the Salesforce platform as much as possible, other than the obvious of getting more value from their licenses.
It tends to follow a progression something like this:
The benefits of using a single platform like Salesforce for your organizations business operations include:
- Decreased time to market by eliminating the decision-making process regarding what technology to use and what software to install and maintain, thereby allowing users to start building solutions immediately.
- Easily deployed solutions quickly, globally, and inexpensively.
- Long-distance collaboration and support by giving users, developers, and specialists the ability to work from anywhere at any time in one place.
- Reduced training and support costs, by making community support more effective with a greater number of participants.
- A consistent approach to applications, allowing the organization to benefit from reuse across multiple solutions—reuse of processes, technology, and people and their skills.
- Consistent use of the same security profiles and authentication methods across all solutions.
- A single place for data and information sharing through a common repository that everyone is connected to.
- A holistic view of the organization across applications, departments and information silos.
- Access to an extensive ecosystem of developers, applications and services that can simply "plug into" the platform, thereby reducing the need to reinvent the wheel.
- A single place for interaction with customers, vendors and partners.
Something to consider: Having a single core platform is generally more important than the bells and whistles it may or may not have. If a car doesn't have all the essential elements that make it run smoothly and make it easy to operate, it doesn't matter if the car has 12 speakers instead of 1, or 1 cup holder instead of 10.
However, the beauty of a platform like Salesforce is that if you need the equivalent of those 12 speakers, you can get them from the Appexchange or have them custom built. All you need to do is plug them in – much like you can add luxury packages to a car.

"Planting trees now will enhance Geelong's liveability for future generations"
Each year the City removes around 1,000 public street trees in response to a range of factors:
The City's budgets currently cover the planting of 1,050 advanced street trees per year so there is only a net gain, year on year of 50 trees. City Plan stipulates a net increase per year of 400 street trees.
This mandate is not being met and at this stage has no capacity to be met.
While trees are sometimes viewed as liabilities to be managed, there has been an increase in support for more urban greening in Geelong.
Feedback from streetscape plantings, lower mortality rates from vandalism and increased requests for street trees demonstrate greater support for Geelong's tree planting program. These supporters from the community, local businesses, schools, universities and within the various levels of government understand that Geelong's trees are key community assets that provide a myriad of benefits to current and future residents.
The Geelong community is becoming more involved and engaged in localised tree planting activities, yet the City recognises that there is still work to be done in fostering community support and encouraging additional trees in our urban landscape.
Whilst urban vegetation plays a key role in building ecological resilience towards changing climates, the extremes in weather can also play havoc to the health and structure of an urban forest.
Extreme heat, wind and rainfall have the capacity to damage the urban forest and even incremental changes in weather can change pest and disease patterns, leading to outbreaks which may lead to mass tree death.
A healthy, diverse and structurally sound urban forest is far more likely to adapt to these changes, placing importance on sound planning and maintenance into the future.

Kybella ExplainedKybella is the first (and as of now, only) injectable treatment designated to target, treat, and eliminate the dreaded double chin. Kybella takes advantage of deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies, to permanently break down fat cells before they are processed, metabolized and eventually disposed of by the body. Once destroyed, the fat cells are gone for good—no longer storing or accumulating fat in this troublesome area.
Why Patients Choose KybellaPreviously, the only way to treat a double chin was through surgical procedures such as liposuction, a facelift or neck lift. While each of these treatments may be right for some individuals; others do not want to undergo a more invasive surgical procedure. As the first injectable treatment targeting submental fat cells to receive FDA approval, Kybella offers an exciting alternative. With Kybella, patients enjoy the benefits of fat reduction without the side effects that a surgical procedure can have. There is no anesthesia or sutures necessary. Kybella also has a far shorter recovery period. Our patients enjoy how quickly and easy Kybella is. Kybella is performed at our St. Peters office and requires only 15 minutes to complete, after which, most are able to return to their day without further complications. Why Patients Love Kybella For those with a fuller chin, you are sure to understand just how difficult and highly resistant this area is to diet and exercise. Not easily treated through other methods, Kybella is able to achieve results that patients thought otherwise impossible. Our patients love how Kybella can:
- Reduce the appearance of a double chin
- Create a slimmer facial profile
- Define a sleek jawline

Kitschy vintage salt and pepper shakers, souvenirs from Gooseberry Falls. One in the shape of a safe, the other a golden moneybag, it may have some political statement when the rise of tourism in the 1920s created a concern that the area would be accessible only to the rich.

TNA's anti-Sri Lanka stance continues unabated
Posted on February 5th, 2013
Asada M Erpini
As reported in the media on 03 February, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader, who is accompanying four of his colleagues, searching for solutions to Sri Lanka's problems ""…" imaginary or otherwise ""…" wants the United Nations Security Council to take "stern action" against the Sri Lanka government for "delay in implementing the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC). As he does all the time, he continues with his favourite topic of a "political solution to the ethnic issue".
LLRC is a product of the Sri Lanka government. Matters may not move at the same pace in Sri Lanka as in some of the affluent countries, but it is the prerogative of the Sri Lanka government to take as much time it needs and to decide which of the recommendations it wishes to implement. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, TNA is not a significant group that even deserves a hearing: its MP's stole the limelight through the blessings of its terrorist godfather, and now that the Sun God has been sent by Sri Lankan armed forces to meet his maker, TNA should be brushed aside with no cares.
TNA's visit to South Africa has no logical basis as far as Sri Lanka's problems are concerned, except for the concocted history that has been widely circulated by the anti-Sri Lankan groups. Before Black rule under Nelson Mandela was born in South Africa, the large majority of the population was deprived of basic rights by the ruling class of the descendants of foreign settlers.
Sri Lanka cannot be compared to South Africa now or in the past in any manner as the history and the situations that exist are poles apart. The TNA parliamentarians going to South Africa is understandable: they have a more-than-willing partner in the form of the UN commissioner for Human Rights, originating from South Africa to support the call for action against Sri Lanka, who has been gunning for Sri Lanka as long as one could remember. Her attacks against Sri Lanka intensified when her hero Pirabhahran was annihilated by the Sri Lanka's armed forces in May 2009.
The average Sri Lankan may not even know that there is a separate sovereign nation under the name South Africa: many would be aware of South India, which refers to the southern regions of Sri Lanka's neighbour to the North, but there is no country called South India. But for Sampanthan of TNA and his colleagues South Africa obviously holds the solutions to the problems that have arisen due to the so-called ethnic issue they peddle around in the wider world. Little does the group realise that the problems that Sri Lanka faced during the past three decades were the creation of a gang of misguided Tamils, aided and abetted by their brethren who migrated to the affluent countries on various pretexts.
Sri Lanka should introduce without delay the necessary laws to punish its citizens who endeavour to undermine the sovereignty of the nation. As long as any individual holds a Sri Lankan passport, it is his or her bounden duty to safeguard the mother country, and this proviso holds true for all the TNA parliamentarians as well. When Sri Lankans go round the world asking the country to be dealt with in a stern manner by foreign powers or organisations, their stance serves as ready ammunition to a group of five or six rich nations led by the US and Canada, who unashamedly label themselves as the "ƒ"¹…"International Community', to destroy Sri Lanka.
In spite of some heavyweights from the US, France and the UK descending on Sri Lanka to twist the arm of the President of Sri Lanka in their determined move to throw a lifeline to Pirabhaharan and his top rung fighters, Sri Lanka has managed to enjoy a few years of explosion-free existence and the longed for peace. This was thanks to the steadfastness of the President of Sri Lanka and his military and political advisors and the perseverance of the military team that was ready to execute the directives given.
Sri Lanka has waited for too long allowing the mischief makers to have a field day. Immediate action should be taken to introduce laws to punish those nationals who, having professed allegiance to the state, act counter to their obligations.

Until my food tour last summer, I had never really spent any time in the Bloomfield neighborhood. (Well, I did attend a concert there years ago at a place called the Brillo Box but a darkened space where I heard some really loud music doesn't count as getting to know a neighborhood.)
Like many of the city's neighborhoods, Bloomfield is brimming with history, although it's an immigrant, working-class kind of a past of which I love. While Bloomfield was originally founded by German immigrants, it was the Italian immigrants who came to the area at the turn of the last century who were responsible for Bloomfield being dubbed "Little Italy." The Italian flag is a prevalent symbol throughout the neighborhood along with numerous Italian eateries and stores.
One of the things I like most about Bloomfield is that while some city neighborhoods change over time, Bloomfield has stayed the same. Some people claim too many "yuppies" have moved in and thus contributed to an increase in housing costs, and yet while walking along its streets this past weekend, I still encountered many locals who were the exact opposite of yuppie and were simply doing their "Saturday shopping" in the neighborhood. It's a place where small, family-run grocery stores still exist, where you can get your prescriptions filled from the neighborhood pharmacist (literally, there aren't Walgreens on every corner), and where the community is still tight-knit one. I remember the tour guide telling us that it was hard to find homes to buy in Bloomfield because residents liked to keep properties "in the family" with homes being either passed down from generation to generation or selling to people you know. Not to say the people of Bloomfield are against "outsiders," they just have a strong respect for the community.
Judging by the sheer number of restaurants there are on the main drag of Liberty Avenue, Bloomfield is a great place to get a meal-Italian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, artisan pizza-it's all here.
On April 4, 2009 three Pittsburgh police officers were gunned down while responding to a call.
This is the Fallen Heroes Memorial.
Officer Paul Sciullo was a lifelong resident of Bloomfield.

MTV nominated an anti-Dakota Access Pipeline music video for an award celebrating last year's environmentalist-led movement to scuttle the multi-billion dollar oil project.
Taboo, a member of the Black-Eyed Peas, created the video alongside activist Shailene Woodley and the Magnificent Seven, a group of musicians from various American Indian tribes. MTV nominated
"Stand Up/Stand N Rock #NoDAPL" for MTV's "Best Fight Against the System" VMA.
"This is a massive opportunity to help bring the importance of protecting the environment and the lives our Indigenous brothers and sisters to tens of millions of people!" reads a press statement on the People's Climate Music (PCM) website. PCM is part of a nonprofit group called the Hip Hop Caucus, which helped produce the video.
The award used to be titled "Best Video With a Social Message," but disappeared in 2015 before reappearing in 2016 under the new, more anarchistic bent. MTV says the award was changed to better reflect millennials' passion for social justice issues.
"The addition of the 'Best Fight Against the System' category was added to the 2017 MTV VMAs to continue reflecting the audience's passion and activism around social justice issues such as environmental justice, immigration, LGBTQ equality, and racial justice," an MTV spokesperson told reporters in July.
Environmentalists and American Indian tribes in the West made defeating the so-called DAPL project a core mission throughout 2016. The 1,200-mile-long project transports Bakken oil from the Dakotas to parts of Illinois.
Activists believed the pipeline's construction would trample on tribal lands and potentially poison waterways, including rivers such as the Missouri River and Lake Oahe. They worked for months demonstrating against the $3.8 billion pipeline, but to no avail.
The Army Corps of Engineers rejected the previously approved pipeline in December during former President Barack Obama's final month in office. The Corps argued that the route needed further environmental reviews and assessments before construction could proceed.
However, President Donald Trump eventually overturned his predecessor's memo, essentially clearing the way for the project to resume unimpeded. Activists have changed tactics slightly, shifting from street protests to legal fights.
The deadline for people to vote on the award is Aug. 17.

Yahoo! My Yahoo! Mail More Yahoo! Services Account Options New User? Sign Up Sign In Help Yahoo! Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Kurdish 'self-determination' call sparks Iraqi ire AFP - Monday, December 13 Send IM Story Print Kurdish 'self-determination' call sparks Iraqi ire BAGHDAD (AFP) - – Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani's recent call for self-determination for his people has drawn the ire of the country's Sunni and Shiite Arab leaders, who argue that it presages a break-up of Iraq. "The right of self-determination is something that concerns people living under occupation, but this is not the case for Kurdistan, which has a special status in Iraq," said Alia Nusayaf, an MP with the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc. "It makes me wonder if the Kurds asked for federalism (in Iraq's constitution) to first form a region and then to separate from Iraq." Barzani said at the opening of a week-long congress of his Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) on Saturday that self-determination was "a right." He said it would be presented at the meeting "to be studied and discussed." His comments mark the first time Barzani has officially presented the issue to the KDP's congress, with the proposal set for a vote during the meeting. His comments come at a time when Iraqi prime minister-designate Nuri al-Maliki is forming his cabinet. Barzani's party is expected to get several ministerial posts, and Kurdish authorities are mired in a dispute with Baghdad over land and oil. Among those at the meeting in the Kurdish capital Arbil were Maliki, parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi and Iyad Allawi, the leader of Iraqiya. "It's shameful that with all the politicians present, not one of them spoke up" over Barzani's remarks, Nusayaf said. There is also consternation among MPs loyal to radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose backing for Maliki largely ensured that the incumbent would stay on as premier. "These declarations (by Barzani) are not in the best interests of Iraq, and they only serve to raise tensions," said Jawad al-Hasnawi, a Sadrist lawmaker. "I think an Iraq that extends from Zakho to Basra is much better than an Iraq that is divided," he added, referring to the country's northern and southernmost cities. Hasnawi noted, however, that the politicians at the Arbil meeting probably declined to respond to Barzani's remarks to avoid "inflaming the situation." Barzani's KDP is a key member of Maliki's governing coalition, and the Kurdish leader played a major role in bringing Iraq's divided political factions together to agree a power-sharing deal. The party, part of a joint slate with Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, controls a substantial majority of seats in the Kurdish parliament and jointly holds 43 seats in Baghdad's assembly with the PUK. Iraq's Kurdish north, made up of three provinces, exercises control over all policy making, except in national defence and foreign affairs. On Sunday, Kurdish regional prime minister Barham Salih, a PUK leader, pressed the issue again, telling reporters: "There is a consensus among Kurds over the fact that it is legal and legitimate to have the right to self-determination. "When we pushed for a federal Iraq, we said that it was a form of expression of self-determination, and we have never abandoned this right." The 1920 Treaty of Sevres following the destruction of the Ottoman Empire included provisions for land for a separate Kurdish state. But the subsequent Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 divided the Middle East into seven countries, none for Kurds. As a result, the world's estimated 25 million Kurds now live on territory that straddles Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. The Kurdistan region first attained a modicum of autonomy in 1974, but Barzani's father and then-leader of the KDP, Mulla Mustafa Barzani, returned to war with the Baghdad government rather than accept that limited autonomy. Kurdistan won greater freedom after the 1991 Gulf War, and its autonomy was enshrined in Iraq's constitution after the US-led invasion to oust Saddam Hussein in 2003. According to Khalid al-Assadi, an MP with Maliki's State of Law coalition, it is unlikely that the Kurds want to go much further. Barzani's comments were "for domestic consumption", said Assadi. "Self-determination is a Kurdish ambition, and they bring it up from time to time, but I think the Kurds are wise enough not to leave Iraq," he said.

Day 1 of the 30 Day No Cheat Challenge!
It doesn't matter what eating program you are on – you are tempted to cheat, especially when you first start.
I get asked quite a bit how I'm able to get through 41 weeks of this diet with no cheats. Here's how:
I take it one day at a time and one decision/choice at a time.
It's really that simple.
This is the self talk I go through to make the decision to either cheat or not to cheat:
1) Am I hungry? If the answer is no than I literally say to myself I don't need it then and walk away. If the answer is yes, then I ask myself the following:
2) Is there a healthier option on the program? (Of course there is)
3) How will you feel if you cheat? I'll feel like crap and then get mad at myself for sabotaging my diet, my goals, and it's a downward spiral.
I tie my emotions and feeling into the decision making process because when you eat that cheat food, you're not going to be thinking, you're just doing, but then when you're done – your mind starts to churn and starts to think about the consequences of your actions. So if I can think of what the end result emotion will be, it always stops me dead in my tracks.
I'm tired of feeling ashamed, guilty, and messing up my weight loss. So I took an oath to myself, literally, on 11/27/12, that I would not cheat and I would finish this goal once and for all.
It's a 30 day challenge, but broken up into small chunks of time with every decision you make.
I'm so happy to have you all here doing this with me. It inspires and motivates me too!
How do you keep yourself from cheating? Leave me a comment below.
