Karrueche is speaking out for the first time since her split from Chris on BET's new talk show, 'Just Keke' and she can barely get through the interview because she can't stop crying! At one point she even calls out his ex-girlfriend Rihanna and says she's fighting a 'battle' with her. HollywoodLifers, were you shocked by what she had to say?
Karrueche Tran, 26, has stuck with her man, Chris Brown, 25, through thick and thin, but when asked about the struggle she faces with dating someone famous, the gorgeous model broke down crying and was during an upcoming July 16 episode of BET's talk show, Just Keke, she talks with Keke Palmer about the difficult time she's had in the middle of one of Hollywood's biggest love triangles!
Karrueche Tran Cries Over Chris Brown On TV
Karrueche and Chris have been on-and-off for two years, but it appears that her relationship being in the constant spotlight has taken its toll on her.
"Just keeping a level head and positivity," Karrueche said. "I've never dated a celebrity before so it was very new to me. Paparazzi and all that. And then, even the situation with Rihanna, you know the reason why people tuned into this so much was because it's relatable. I have girlfriends, I have family who's gone through the same situation."
"We all go through it, do you know what I'm saying? But, however…in this case my boyfriend is a celebrity who's ex-girlfriend is an even bigger [celebrity," said added. "Do you know what I'm saying? So, not only am I fighting a battle with her, I'm fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else. So, imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I see a whole bunch of stuff."
We totally sympathize with Kae, it can't be easy to have your relationship so public and open for scrutinization. Host Keke Palmer then asked Kae what the hardest part is about dating such a high profile celebrity is, which caused Karrueche to break down.
"Um, jeez. I guess I would say the heartbreak because it was a real situation," she said crying. "Yeah, it was a real life situation."
Karrueche Slams Chris In Radio Interview
This is not the first time that Karrueche has admitted that dating Chris has been a struggle.
We told you that Karrueche dissed her famous boyfriend by telling Big Boy's Power 106 radio show that: "It's been a long four years!"
Ouch! Clearly, Karrueche loves Chris, and has stuck by his side during some really trying times, so we don't blame her for being a little worn down.
You can check out the rest of Karrueche's interview when it airs on BET's Just Keke, July 16.
HollywoodLifers, are you glad that Karreuche is opening up about Chris?

What about all the times he cheated with people other than Rihanna? He cheated on her twice in Rehab just a couple months ago, isn't that why he was kicked and sent to jail? She wanted him, she has him and now wants people to feel sorry for her. Chris and Rihanna haven't been together for what over a year now. Why continue to push this triangle when he has cheated with so many people? How about bringing up Blair Pena and Karizma in the car? Huh, Koochie what about them. Too scared to mention their name, but you don't care that you mention Rih's name so she can get slandered for doing something she takes no part of.

If they are in a good place as she claims no need to bring up the ex who bounced a year ago. She needs to direct all that hurt to Chris the man she stills allow to publically humiliate her. Kae is nothing but a side chick, a doormat, leech, an idiot… That "your man" cheats on you continuously and then leaves you for his ex, then say that it was more of a friendship than a relationship the whole time on interviews, then if you hook up again he wont claim you as anything other than friend with benefits or his b*tch…you are the problem not his ex.

Karrueche just makes herself look stupid and proves people are right about her every time she opens her mouth. She's on national TV crying over a guy who's never gonna commit to her or have a true faithful relationship with. She made herself look desperate again. Chris was screwing rehab workers just a couple months ago, and a few days ago he was all over some girl in a parking lot and they hopped in the car and left together. Rihanna isn't the problem here, Chris is and until she realizes and faces that fact, she will continue to get played by Chris. She's so easy and lets him have his cake and eat it to, what guy isn't gonna take advantage of a dumb girl who allows this crap? She's part of the problem too, not sure why she brought Rihanna into it, when Rihanna's been done with that mess for a long time now, over a year.

The navy's going after Karrueche on twitter hard! That interview was in poor taste and if she thought she had to battle Rihanna's fans a year ago she hasn't seen anything yet. I'm not sure why this girl keeps doing stuff that she knows is gonna get her dragged by the navy? Does she really crave attention that bad? She does it all to herself. Silence is golden.

She needs to worry about all those other women Chris is screwing and asking her to have threesomes with, leave Rihanna out of your mess you stupid hoe. She hasn't said a word about you or that criminal Chris in over a year and wants nothing to do with either one of you, you're both toxic.

This girls self pity is astonishing. She threw herself a dam pity party on a talk show. She had the nerve to speak Rihanna's name when she can't even stand in the same room as Rihanna and has been banned from most clubs in LA because the owners won't let her in when Rihanna is in there. That's why she's miserable because she fuc#ed up starting a fight with one of the most powerful women in the world and she's paying a high price for doing so, and the sad fact about the whole thing is Karrueche will not end up with Chris is the long run, so she ruined her reputation, got 86 from most clubs for what? Some negative attention and millions of people hating her? I've got one question for her, was it worth it? LOL

When i first heard that Chris was leaving Tran for Rihanna, i was very disappointed in him because i didn't understand why he would humiliate this girl like that in front of the whole world and then come up with some lame excuse about how much he doesn't want to see her hurt! i saw him as a player and a heart breaker and i was thinking he could have atleast just dump her without being so callous but then i saw him still reaching out to her and i was thinking seriously either this guy doesn't know what he wants or this is just some game he's playing to win forgiveness from fans, i felt karreuche should have just cut her losses and move on but i gather that she loved him dearly or he pleaded for her to still fight for them since he was caught in a tight situation, i watched him parade with rihanna all over social media and saying all sort of stuff in interviews and i wondered, how does tran feel about all this being thrown in her face? i felt bad for her but i waited to see what will happen, the media continued to spread lies..and i still waited …and lo and behold they still clung to each other for reasons i don't know. The rihanna fans don't hate becuase she's with Chris, they hate because he LOVES her and they see it, i don't see them hating any other girl chris has dated or will ever date like the way they hate karreuche because they know he loves her and it sucks to see them still fighting to keep their relationship alive! i give them kudos as a young unmarried couple and i encourgae them to fight for their love because it's special to them, it's not perfect but it's special to them. i encourage Chris to fight for tran because she is like no other he will ever encounter…..my prayers for their relationship.

Anne you need some serious help! This is not a healthy relationship. Your kidding me with your 4 year old relationship therapy 101 when you write about these two dysfunctional people. First of all why are you bringing up Rihanna??? She has been out of the relationship with Chris for awhile now. You give them kudos?? Kudos?? How old are you? Chris is a manipulative jack azz. You can't buy love or make someone love you but he is doing this and obviously he could manipulate you too. How pathetic and sad. Rihanna left the circus mess and KaeLess picked up the dirty boy with all of his drug problems, and cheating ways and she took him back. He ends up in rehab and court documents state he was fooling around with someone in rehab and the doormat still took him back. This is not love this is a man who is rich and is manipulating someone who has no self esteem. I really believe Chris paid for her to be interviewed because TB is sick of this mess. He needs to sell X and what better way to have your lap dog cry and blame Rihanna to make a fake relationship look honorable. KTrash really needs some serious therapy.

If she is so miserable and feels so mistreated why doesn't she just move on with her life and find someone who will treat her the way she feels she should be treated? I mean, really to go on this talk show and talk down about Chris and Rihanna and the fans was a pretty dumb move and nothing good is going to come from that interview. She just set herself up to get dogged even more. Chris cannot be happy about this interview at all. Geez what a bone head she is.

I'm laughing so hard!!! My boyfriend is a celebrity LOL!!! This girl is dumb! Somebody please put her to bed because this interview was mainly about her, Chris and Rihanna. Why Riri????? She is so insecure with Rih because she knows she will never be that famous. Ever!!! I'm laughing so hard at the fake tears and hyperventilating, LOL and waving her hands to calm her down. This is the worst fake acting performance ever. I cannot stop laughing. She is really pathetic! Someone please get her help. Im sure some institution for the dumb and stupid have a room available for this child. LOL!!!!

This is the act she puts on for Chris when they're alone and she wants to manipulate him. She chokes, coughs and hyperventilates (just like my husband did hen I was giving birth trying to get attention so the doctors could leave me and the baby and see about him instead of us). Anyway, so CB gets scared and he starts to promise her heaven and earth. What a colossal mess!
Posted at 9:26 PM on July 14, 2014
Karrueche is always playing the victim and screaming poor me, poor me. Look what bad ol Rihanna and her fans did to me. Boo freaking hoo. First and foremost she needs to blame her "boyfriend" who has cheated on her multiple times but the only women he cheated on that brings her media attention is Rihanna so she only talks about Chris cheating with Rihanna and ignores the other 144 times he's cheated on her and humiliated her while leaving clubs with other girls, leaving her at tables and picking up other girls. The truth is Chris dumped Karrueche's a$$ for Rihanna he didn't just cheat on her, he kicked her a$$ to the curb for Rihanna. Chris treats Karrueche the way he does because he knows he can. If she wants to blame anyone she needs to take a long look in the mirror and the reflection looking back at her holds all the blame of why she's in the mess she's in. All her own doing, she could have walked away long ago, but walking away takes her 15 minutes away and she'd rather be a doormat than go back to being a nobody.
Posted at 9:21 PM on July 14, 2014
Somebody tell this wannabe hoe that Rih left that mess "Chris" well over a year ago while you were waiting all along to scoop him back up. You played dirty! You know the old saying "be careful what you wish for?" Well your reaped what you sow KaeTar. And stop with saying people don't know what's really going on? Your stupid! Your on social media every day and if someone pieced together your twitter your instagram BS they would see someone who is insecure, dumb as a rock, and money hungry. Cuz that's what I've been seeing for years watching you look and act stupid while dating Chris after he broke it off with Rihanna last year. So stop bringing Rihanna's name up.
Posted at 9:15 PM on July 14, 2014
Why is Karrueche whining and crying over Rihanna still? What about all the other girls Chris has cheated on her with? How about as recent as in rehab, when he cheated with some rehab workers and other patients? Why isn't she crying about that? Why is she complaining about Rihanna when she hasn't had anything to do with either of them in over a year? Oh, I know why because she can't get media attention talking about Chris cheating with rehab workers, but she knows Rihanna's name is the biggest and most famous in the industry so she chooses to keep on and on about Rihanna, instead of talking about the other girls Chris has cheated on her with. There is no triangle here, but Karrueche sure wishes there was because that's the only time anyone cared on iota about her. She's making herself look stupid and desperate by doing this interview.

I will try to give a decent critique here since I am familiar with military photos since I was a 96D2T in the Army.
First it is very dramatic obviously out gunned against what looks to be a larger and better armed opponent. I would think that the wheel house would be better armored since that is where the captain would be during an engagement, but I have to remember this was a portrait of a ship that sank pre-20th century.
The artwork on the bow is good, I do remember ships having that. Also the primitive style of range finding on the fore turret is a nice touch which few would see.
All in all this is a very good work in my opinion.

President Employs More Executive Measures to Press Equal Pay Agenda
Yesterday, President Obama signed an executive order and issued a presidential memorandum pressing his equal pay agenda. The executive order establishes that workers cannot be prevented from discussing their pay with other employees or applicants. Its declared target is to support efforts to eradicate gender-based pay disparities. Its aim though is probably more akin to using a hand-held mirror to shoot over your shoulder at the target.
Protecting an employee or applicant because they've "inquired about, discussed or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant" will have only a minimal effect, if any, on pay equity. Its greater effect will be to offer employees a means to claim retaliation if, for instance, no pay raise results or any similar adverse job action occurs after the employee was known to have discussed his pay. This executive order will at least spur employers to redouble their efforts to keep comprehensive HRIS data and use vigorous disposition codes for documenting all types of workplace results for applicants and employees alike.
The presidential memorandum mandates that the Department of Labor create a rule requiring federal contractors and subcontractors to submit summary data on the compensation paid to their employees, including data by sex and race. Obviously, such a rule would normally include classifying the compensation by not only sex and race, but by job title, job grade or some measure differentiating the types of jobs involved. However, this summary data is likely going to be calculated merely by dividing the total compensation for all employees of a particular sex or race by the number of employees of that race or sex. Federal contractors already compile comprehensive information examining their compensation practices annually as part of their affirmative action obligations, but now they will be required to submit a snapshot of that data to the Department of Labor each year. The federal government claims it needs this information because of a "lack of data as a barrier to closing the persistent pay gap for women and minorities." However, if the Department of Labor's past practices are any indication, the compensation data will be collected in such a summary fashion that it is virtually worthless as a statistical indicator of pay discrimination. Soon the Department of Labor will be able to claim that overall disparities in compensation between genders or races (which could be driven by one or two highly-paid individuals or which could be the result of perfectly defensible pay decisions) justifies launching a widespread investigation of the employer. How this new data ends up being used against employers in the future will determine whether underpaid workers are benefited or instead whether employers are bludgeoned by submitting unreliable data that will supposedly reveal unlawful pay practices.
So the new federal executive order and presidential memorandum are not nearly as precise as the President intends. At least the approach of requiring a wage disclosure notice (as New York and California have done) where new employees are alerted to the wage rate for each position protects workers from being shortchanged in straight-time and overtime pay. These new orders are not nearly so precise nor useful to the workplace.

Important Court Ruling: Employee Waivers of "Collective Action" Right Are Enforceable
Have you (or others at your company) considered using mandatory arbitration agreements with your employees? The idea is to require an employee who ends up in an employment dispute to handle that dispute before an arbitrator, rather than by filing a lawsuit. But are these agreements valid and enforceable? A recent decision by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals (which handles cases from all federal courts in Georgia, Alabama and Florida) has a lot to say about the overall effectiveness and enforceability of mandatory arbitration agreements.
Last week, the Eleventh Circuit joined four other Circuit courts in holding that an arbitration agreement that waives an employee's ability to participate in a "collective action" (a little different than but similar to a class action) brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (the federal wage and hour law) is enforceable under another law known as the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).
In the case of Walthour et al. v. Chipio Windshield Repair, LLC et al., a group of window repairers originally filed suit against their employer in federal court in Georgia for allegedly failing to pay them overtime wages. The employer tried to take the case out of court because the employees had signed mandatory arbitration agreements. In line with an increasingly popular trend among employers, the arbitration agreement also included a waiver of the employees' right to take part in a class or collective action (allowing each one to only bring an individual claim). The employees opposed the effort to force them out of court and into individual arbitrations, arguing that their right to file a collective action under the FLSA was a non-waivable, substantive legal right and that the arbitration agreements were invalid because they purported to waive that right.
Following a recent series of pro-arbitration U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the Eleventh Circuit found that the arbitration agreement's waiver of each employee's ability to participate in a collective FLSA action was legal and enforceable under the FAA. The court noted that the FAA embodies a broad federal policy favoring arbitration agreements and seeks to relieve congestion in the courts by providing parties with an alternative method for dispute resolution that is speedier and less costly than litigation. In accordance with this federal policy favoring arbitration, the Eleventh Circuit ruled that courts are obligated to enforce arbitration agreements as written absent a "contrary congressional command." Looking to the FLSA, the FAA, and other appellate court decisions across the country, the Eleventh Circuit held that even though the FLSA allows for collective actions to be brought, that right is not substantive, and it can be waived by employees – and it was in this case.
In an upcoming article in Troutman Sanders LLP's Employment & The Law newsletter, we will discuss in detail the pros and cons of implementing mandatory arbitration agreements in the workplace. Ultimately, it is a decision each employer should make (in consultation with a trusted employment lawyer). This Eleventh Circuit decision in the Walthour case certainly is something important to consider as part of your company's decision-making on using or not using mandatory arbitration agreements.

What Does The Paid Sick Leave Movement Mean For Your Company?
The media has been full of stories recently about efforts by the city councils in New York City and Philadelphia to pass laws requiring employers to provide employees with paid sick leave. While it appears that the New York City law will come into effect, as it has enough support in the council to overcome the expected veto of Mayor Bloomberg, the Philadelphia city council does not have enough votes to override Mayor Nutter's veto.
When the New York City law comes into effect, it will join the ranks of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and the state of Connecticut, each of which have passed laws in recent years requiring employers to provide employees with paid sick leave. At the federal level, the proposed Healthy Families Act, which would require employers to provide paid sick leave, also appears to be gaining traction, particularly in the face of lobbying efforts in many states to pass laws that would specifically preempt efforts by localities to require that employers provide paid sick leave. Where has all this interest in paid sick leave come from?

Forget Sequestration: Here's What You Need to Know About the OFCCP's Expanded Compensation Investigation Procedures
A few days ago, I watched the PBS special, MAKERS: Women Who Make America, about the women's movement and women's struggles for equality at home and at work. The documentary highlighted the combined efforts of women across the country in their fight to eradicate gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and unequal pay in the work place. One thing that was particularly shocking was how members of the federal government in the past fought hard to maintain the status quo and keep women out of the workforce.
Oh how times have changed.
Now, there are not only federal laws – such as Title VII and the Equal Pay Act – that prohibit unequal treatment of women in the workplace, but the government is also taking an aggressive approach to ferreting out compensation disparities for female, minority, disabled, and veteran employees of federal contractors and subcontractors.
And we were worried about sequestration. [Read more →]

NLRB Board Appointments Ruled Invalid — What Does This Mean for Employers?
Our firm's latest "Advisory" just went out this afternoon explaining the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling from last Friday that President Obama's "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were unconstitutional, and therefore the Board was without the required quorum to act in a case from last year in which it found a soda-bottling company had committed an unfair labor practice.
This case involves a fascinating legal issue of the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and the separation of powers between the Legislative and Executive branches (at least for those who find such things fascinating). This decision is also good news for a particular soda-bottling company that challenged the NLRB's decision. [Read more →]

Workplace Violence: Navigating the Minefield of Workplace Gun Laws
The horrific Newtown, Connecticut elementary school massacre has brought the gun control debate front and center. But gun violence is not just in our schools. In August, a former employee shot and killed a co-worker near the Empire State Building before being shot by police himself, and eight bystanders were injured in the shoot-out. A 30-person Minneapolis sign company was decimated in September when an employee who was discharged shot and killed six people, including the company's founder and a UPS delivery driver, and wounded two others before taking his own life. In November, an Apple Valley Farms employee shot four co-workers at a chicken processing plant in Fresno, California, killing two of them, before turning the gun on himself. Not long after, a ConAgra Foods employee in Indianapolis fatally shot his co-worker outside a break room, then killed himself. Two other workplace violence incidents, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (an employee fatally shot her co-worker) and Manteno, Illinois (an employee shot and wounded his co-worker), took place in July, 2012.

It's National Disability Employment Awareness Month!
As the Department of Labor (DOL) reminds us, October is the month the Office of Disability Employment Policy encourages employers, employees, educators, unions, and other organizations to focus on disability awareness. National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an awareness campaign that, among other things, provides employers with a reminder that the employment of individuals with disabilities requires Human Resources managers to (i) regularly check for legal updates, (ii) conduct policy reviews, (iii) implement thorough training of personnel, and (iv) consult with competent legal counsel to ensure all of the appropriate controls are in place to ensure compliance with a potentially tricky and elastic legal landscape.

49 Spanish explorers ,and an unknown number of Filipino warriors. | approx. 1,500 warriors | ||||||

At least 9 killed, including Magellan and 4 Christian Indios | At least 15 |
The Battle of Mactan (Cebuano: Gubat sa Mactan; Filipino: Labanan sa Mactan; Spanish: Batalla de Mactán) was fought in the Philippines on 27 April 1521, prior to Spanish colonization. The warriors of Lapu-Lapu, a native chieftain of Mactan Island, defeated Spanish forces under the command of Ferdinand Magellan, who was killed in the battle.
On 16 March 1521 (Spanish calendar), Magellan sighted the mountains of what is now Samar while on a mission to find a westward route to the Moluccas Islands for Spain. This event marked the arrival of the first Europeans in the Archipelago. The following day, Magellan ordered his men to anchor their ships on the shores of Homonhon Island.[1]
There, Magellan befriended Rajah Kulambu and Rajah Siagu the chieftain of Limasawa, who guided him to Cebu.[1] He, and his queen were baptized into the Catholic faith, taking the Christian names Carlos, in honor of King Charles of Spain, and Juana, in honor of King Charles' mother. To commemorate this event, Magellan gave Juana the Santo Niño, an image of the infant Jesus, as a symbol of their new alliance.[1]
As a result of Magellan's influence with Rajah Humabon, an order had been issued to the nearby chiefs that each of them were to provide food supplies for the ships, and convert to Christianity.
Most chiefs obeyed the order. However, Datu Lapu-Lapu, one of the two chiefs within the island of Mactan, was the only chieftain to show his opposition. Lapu-Lapu refused to accept the authority of Rajah Humabon in these matters. This opposition proved to be influential when Antonio Pigafetta,[2] Magellan's voyage chronicler,[3] writes,
On Friday, April twenty-six, Zula, the second chief of the island of Mactan, sent one of his sons to present two goats to the captain-general, and to say that he would send him all that he had promised, but that he had not been able to send it to him because of the other chief Lapu-Lapu, who refused to obey the king of Spain.[4]
Rajah Humabon and Datu Zula suggested that Magellan go to the island of Mactan and force his subject chieftain Datu Lapu-Lapu to comply with his orders.[1] Magellan saw an opportunity to strengthen the existing friendship ties with the ruler of the Visayan region and agreed to help him subdue the rebellious Lapu-Lapu.
The battle[edit]
According to the documents of Italian historian Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan tried to convince Lapu-Lapu to comply with Rajah Humabon's orders the night before the battle,
At midnight, sixty of us set out armed with corselets and helmets, together with the Christian king, the prince, some of the chief men, and twenty or thirty balanguais. [a type of Filipino boat] We reached Mactan three hours before dawn. The captain did not wish to fight then, but sent a message to the natives to the effect that if they would obey the king of Spain, recognize the Christian king as their sovereign, and pay us our tribute, he would be their friend; but that if they wished otherwise, they should wait to see how our lances wounded. They replied that if we had lances they had lances of bamboo and stakes hardened with fire. [they asked us] not to proceed to attack them at once, but to wait until morning, so that they might have more men. They said that in order to induce us to go in search of them; for they had dug certain pit holes between the houses in order that we might fall into them.[4]
Pigafetta writes how Magellan deployed forty-nine armored men with swords, axes, shields, crossbows, and guns, and sailed for Mactan in the morning of 28 April.[1] Filipino historians note that because of the rocky outcroppings, and coral near the beach, the Spanish soldiers could not land on Mactan. Forced to anchor their ships far from shore, Magellan could not bring his ships' cannons to bear on Lapu-Lapu's warriors, who numbered more than 1,500.
When morning came, forty-nine of us leaped into the water up to our thighs, and walked through water for more than two cross-bow flights before we could reach the shore. The boats could not approach nearer because of certain rocks in the water. The other eleven men remained behind to guard the boats. When we reached land, [the natives] had formed in three divisions to the number of more than one thousand five hundred persons. When they saw us, they charged down upon us with exceeding loud cries... The musketeers and crossbow-men shot from a distance for about a half-hour, but uselessly...[5]
The Death of Magellan of 1521[edit]
Magellan then tried to scare them off by burning some houses in what is now Buaya, known then as Bulaia.
Seeing that, the captain-general sent some men to burn their houses in order to terrify them. When they saw their houses burning, they were roused to greater fury. Two of our men were killed near the houses, while we burned twenty or thirty houses. So many of them charged down upon us that they shot the captain through the right leg with a poisoned arrow. On that account, he ordered us to retire slowly, but the men took to flight, except six or eight of us who remained with the captain. The natives shot only at our legs, for the latter were bare; and so many were the spears and stones that they hurled at us, that we could offer no resistance. The mortars in the boats could not aid us as they were too far away.[5]
Many of the warriors attacked Magellan; he was wounded in the arm with a spear and in the leg by a kampilan. With this advantage, Lapu-Lapu's troops finally overpowered and killed Magellan. He was stabbed and hacked by spears and swords. Pigafetta and the others managed to escape,
Recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they knocked his helmet off his head twice... An Indian hurled a bamboo spear into the captain's face, but the latter immediately killed him with his lance, which he left in the Indian's body. Then, trying to lay hand on sword, he could draw it out but halfway, because he had been wounded in the arm with a bamboo spear. When the natives saw that, they all hurled themselves upon him. One of them wounded him on the left leg with a large cutlass, which resembles a scimitar, only being larger. That caused the captain to fall face downward, when immediately they rushed upon him with iron and bamboo spears and with their cutlasses, until they killed our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true guide. When they wounded him, he turned back many times to see whether we were all in the boats. Thereupon, beholding him dead, we, wounded, retreated, as best we could, to the boats, which were already pulling off...[5]
According to Pigafetta, several of Magellan's men were killed in battle, and a number of natives converted to Christianity who had come to their aid were killed by warriors. There are no official records of the number of casualties in the battle, although Pigafetta mentions at least 3 Christian soldiers killed including Magellan.[4]
Magellan's allies, Humabon and Zula, were said not to have taken part in the battle due to Magellan's bidding, and they watched from a distance.
Pigafetta reports that the Christian king Humabon sent a message saying that if they returned the bodies of Magellan and his crew, they would be given as much merchandise as they wished. Lapulapu's immediate response was, "We will not give away the captain's body for all the riches in the world, because his body is the trophy of our victory against invaders of our shore"
Some of the soldiers who survived the battle and returned to Cebu were poisoned while attending a feast given by Humabon. Magellan was succeeded by Juan Sebastián Elcano as commander of the expedition, who ordered the immediate departure after Humabon's betrayal. Elcano and his fleet sailed west and returned to Spain in 1522, completing the first circumnavigation of the world.
In Philippine culture[edit]
Today, Lapu-Lapu is retroactively honored as the first "Philippine national hero" to resist foreign rule, though formally the territory of the "Philippine Islands" had yet to be established or even named at the time. He is remembered by a number of commemorations: statues on the island of Mactan and the Cebu Provincial Capitol, a city bearing his name, and a local variety of red grouper fish. Kapampangan actor-turned-politician Lito Lapid starred in a film called Lapu-Lapu, and novelty singer Yoyoy Villame wrote a folk song entitled "Magellan" that tells a humorously distorted story of the Battle of Mactan.[6]
There is a spot in Mactan Island called the Mactan shrine where the battle is reenacted during its anniversary. In the same shrine, next to the Lapu-Lapu statue, there is a obelisk erected in Magellan's honor by the Spanish colonial authorities and defaced shortly after the US military occupation of the Philippines.
Magellan is also honored for bringing Christianity to the Philippines in general and the Santo Niño (Child Jesus) to Cebu in particular. The Magellan's Cross and the aforementioned Magellan's shrine were erected in Cebu City and Mactan Island. Many landmarks and infrastructures all over the Philippines bear Magellan's name, mostly using its Spanish spelling (Magallanes), which is also a widely used Filipino surname.
The inhabitants of the Sulu archipelago believe that Lapu-Lapu was a Muslim of the Tausūg people.[7]
According to native legend, Lapu-Lapu never died but turned into stone, and has since then been guarding the seas of Mactan. Fishermen in the island city would throw coins at a stone shaped like a man as a way of asking for permission to fish in the chieftain's territory.[8]
Another myth passed on by the natives concerns the statue of Lapu-Lapu erected on a pedestal at the center of the town plaza. The statue faced the old city hall building, where the mayors used to hold office; it held a crossbow in the stance of appearing shoot an enemy. Some superstitious people of the city proposed to change this crossbow with a sword, after a succession of three mayors died due to a heart attack.[8]
Another legend suggests that after the battle, Lapu-Lapu left Mactan and lived on a mountain.[citation needed]

PHOENIX - Where in the world is Moammar Gadhafi? That's the big question Monday night as rebels come close to taking Libya's capitol city.
But there's another question that may be of more long-term importance to Arizonans: What impact, if any, could the fall of Gadhafi's regime have on gas prices right here in Arizona?

Brandywine Bay, Tortola
Sir Francis Drake Highway
British Virgin Islands
Tel: 284 495 2301
Concierge.com's insider take:
Dining amid the candlelight of Brandywine Bay feels at once intimate and open. The three-tiered restaurant was built in an old home on the site of an 18th-century British fort, but an open wall provides uninterrupted views down to the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Whether you come by boat (four mooring balls await yachties) or by car (a ten-minute drive from Road Town), you'll want to start the evening with drinks and cicchetti (Italian tapas) under the tent on the terrace. Chef-owner Davide Pugliese presents the menu on a dry erase board—a necessity, because he changes it daily depending on which fresh ingredients are available. The fare, like the chef, is nominally Tuscan—carpaccio, homemade tortelloni, and ravioli—but veers off on delicious detours such as Thai-pumpkin-and-coconut-milk soup or roast duck with mango chutney.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 6:30 to 9:30 pm, November through July.

WATER & DIRT SHIELD ™ Fleur-de-Lis Mat
Perfect for small dogs, and kids
I purchased one of these for in front of our slider to our back porch because we have 2 small dogs that are always going in and out. The mat really helps to trap water and keep my brand new hardwood floors perfect. It's easy to clean and looks great. I put one inside our front door as well for the traffic in and out of there.
July 21, 2014
Good quality
This mat is certainly durable and does a good job of catching tracked in debris from outside. Have yet to see how it handles wet weather. All in all, a good purchase. My only disappointment was the color. I purchased the brown mat and it has an orange or copper undertone. Still gave it 5 stars as it is the best looking, hard working mat I have come across.
April 15, 2014
Beautiful, functional mat
This mat is beautiful and highly functional in catching dirt and moisture. It grips strongly to what is a really slippery tile floor. Mat is also low profile, so our front doors pass over it easily.
February 26, 2014
Beautiful and useful
Love this rug! I got the brown -- so pretty and my whole family loves it! Good price too!
March 20, 2014
Perfect Size, Flat and Durable
I needed a mat at the entry points to our home. This mat is the perfect size to fit a large entry way door. It is flat enough that the door opens right over it. Order the blue color but sending it back, it looks like a fuzzy bluish gray sweater. I have dark hard wood floors so trying the brown next. definitely a good functional purchase.

Fleur de lis Doormat - Evergreen
I have purchased many different styles and textures of doormats, but this one is by far the most exquisite! The styling, texture, color, and quality far exceeded my expectations. It brought grace to our front doorstep, so much that I also purchased one for our back patio door. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this product to everyone.
October 15, 2013
Love it!
I purchased 3 door mats from Frontgate and absolutely love all three....two of them actually stop me in my tracks because of the beauty and durability! I purchased the Fleur-de-Lis in chestnut and the color is much prettier in person. I placed it in front of french doors leading to the back yard where my dogs come in and out all day and this door mat is really helping...and it doesn't slide.
December 6, 2011
Marked my floor
We have hardwood floors, and I used this inside by my back door and under my dog crate to catch the blow by. It left small black dots on my hardwood floor that make up the pattern of the fleur de lis. I have tried everything to remove them, but they have essentially leached into the wood. I have kept the floors dry, there's no light beating on the mats, etc. It is beyond awful.

The independent panel on Internet voting has published and submitted the recommendations report to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
The report contains the panel's conclusions and recommendations, and summarizes the benefits and challenges of implementing Internet voting for provincial or local government elections in B.C.
"The panel recommends to go slow on introducing Internet voting in British Columbia," said Keith Archer, chief electoral officer and panel chair. "British Columbians must have confidence that their voting system is fair and trustworthy. That is why the panel recommends the appointment of a technical committee that can assess specific Internet voting systems against the principles required for a safe and secure Internet voting system."
The recommendations report is available at: www.internetvotingpanel.ca/docs/recommendations-report.pdf.
The independent panel on Internet voting was formed by the chief electoral officer on Aug. 9, 2012, following an invitation of the B.C. Attorney General, to examine the opportunities and challenges related to the potential implementation of Internet-based voting for provincial or local government elections in British Columbia.
On Oct. 23, 2013 the panel published a preliminary report for a six-week public comment period, ending on Dec. 4, 2013. The panel reviewed the commentary, including additional submissions from experts, academics and vendors in the Internet voting community.

Hello Ben,
Thank you very much for this summary.
I was an early user of Hypercard then quit it and suffer for many years.
When I rediscovered Livecode I was extremely happy. (Just 2 years ago)
Regarding your summary here, I guess that as many people I would like to have a sense of time.
Such as (but probably not only)
When a stable version 7 is expected?
And when the in app purchases is expected in a stable version?
Understand that it is not pushing or impatience.
I think that's interesting if all of us can have some milestones in head.
This will let us prioritize our current development efforts the best possible way…
I hope you can give me some rough idea about it.
And thanks a lot to all the team, Livecode really rock!…

Valparaiso led start to finish Monday evening at the ARC, allowing its fewest points defensively in over 27 years in an 88-38 victory over Holy Cross [Ind.] College.
The Crusaders held Holy Cross to just 14-of-60 (23.3%) shooting from the floor, including just 5-of-22 (22.7%) from beyond the arc on Monday night. Meanwhile, Valpo connected on 69% of its second-half attempts and closed the game hitting 33-of-54 (61.1%) from the field. The 38 points allowed was the least by a Crusader squad since Valpo pulled out a 35-33 nailbiter against Green Bay on Jan. 21, 1984.
"It was a long week for us this past week, with all the travel," said Crusader head coach Bryce Drew. "We knew our guys were going to be fighting fatigue, so we tried to sub a lot of guys in and out of the game quickly tonight."
Junior Richie Edwards (Lakeland, Fla./Lakeland [Hillsborough C.C.]) led all players with 25 points, hitting 8-of-12 from the floor and 7-of-9 from the free throw line. 17 of Edwards' points came in the second half, as he shot 7-of-8 from the field in the final 20 minutes. Junior Kevin Van Wijk (Hoofddorp, Netherlands/Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Hoofddorp) added a double-double, hitting eight of his nine shot attempts en route to 18 points and 10 rebounds in just 14 minutes, while sophomore Jay Harris (Aurora, Ill./Oswego East) posted 10 points and six assists without a turnover.
All 10 Crusaders who played on Monday evening scored at least three points, including senior walk-on Nick Shelton (Frankenmuth, Mich./Frankenmuth), who hit a pair of baskets for a career-best four points in 13 minutes of action. Redshirt sophomore Hrvoje Vucic (Split, Croatia/Faust Vrancic) hit the boards for the Crusaders in his 19 minutes of play, grabbing a career-high six rebounds.
Valpo scored the first three points of the game on a free throw by Van Wijk and a layup by redshirt junior Erik Buggs (Memphis, Tenn./Mitchell) and would never trail the entire night. The Crusaders extended the lead into double figures at 16-6 on a 3-point play by Van Wijk just 7:23 into the game. A 3-pointer by Buggs with 6:39 to go in the first half extended the lead to 20 points, and Valpo never led by less than 18 the rest of the way.
Holy Cross, which was playing the game as an exhibition contest, was led by 13 points from Yama Kader. Valpo out-scored the Saints by large margins in the paint (46-10) and in bench points (46-14).
"We ran our offense until the very end tonight," said Drew. "We were able to work on a lot of things tonight, and some guys who haven't played much got to work on their conditioning in a game scenario and get game repetitions in. We were also able to play a lot of zone, which was good, because we needed to work on our zone in game situations."
Valparaiso (2-1) remains at the ARC to host a subregional of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer this coming weekend, Friday, Nov. 18 through Sunday, Nov. 20. Friday's action features Duquesne against the University of the District of Columbia at 5 p.m. before the Crusaders take on Akron at 7:30 p.m. Live video through the Horizon League Network and live audio on the Valpo Sports Radio Network will be available for Valpo's games this weekend, with live stats available for all six games. Links for all will be available at www.valpoathletics.com.

They say ignorance is bliss and I've always felt that liberals must be very blissful people. How else can one explain why the believe the things they advocate? Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but they do seem to express a very limited knowledge and awareness of the world around them. Rick Howell gave us an example of this last week in his Liberal Agenda. In an effort to prove that Barack Hussein Obama is not a Muslim, he wrote:
After Labor Day, voters will finally start to pay attention to mid-term elections around the country. While there are certainly some high-profile choices, it seems likely that nothing much will change the dynamics in Washington. Republicans have hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate, and most of the seats being defended are Democratic. But Democrats have a shot at taking GOP seats in a few states, most notably Kentucky and Georgia.

Have you ever wanted to switch wireless carriers, but keep the same phone? Or have you purchased a used phone recently and planned to activate it on a different wireless network? It seems like common sense to me. Consumers who have completed their phone contracts or have purchased a used phone should be able to activate their device on their network of choice. However, if you've tried to do that in the last year, you know that this simple action is no longer allowed under current law. But, that's about to change.
Peggy Noonan, in her column that appeared in the Wall Street Journal at the beginning of the month, speculated on the possibility that American society has become so divided that the United States may eventually split up. She cites our sharp divisions over issues, such as abortion, immigration, government regulation and ObamaCare.
In the wake of President Obama's decision to launch American airstrikes in Iraq, it's been common in the media to refer to him as "the reluctant warrior." Well, that phrase describes him very well and we should be grateful. We should also remember that if the last president had been as reluctant, none of the mess in Iraq would exist as it does now.

Everyone likes to have a party. But what about a party where there is more learning and laughing than drinking and dancing? On August 10, the moon was as close to the Earth as it will be this year. This closest approach of the moon to the earth is called a perigee. 2014's perigee resulted in the moon appearing much bigger and brighter than a normal full moon, thus giving it the title of supermoon.

There's a new buzz-word going around in the country called sustainable farming. There can only be one definition of sustainable agriculture. The operator generates enough income to support a family off the land without off-farm income or farmer's welfare while maintaining the soil fertility, the fences and keeping a young productive herd of livestock plus reducing his debt load.
Over the last month, the flow of Central Americans attempting to enter the United States along the southern border has not stopped. Young children and teenagers, as well as their family members and other adults, continue to arrive on American soil in violation of the law. In fact, 85 percent of those apprehended illegally crossing our borders now are not unaccompanied minors. Since our immigration laws are so loosely enforced by the Obama Administration, they come here believing that they will be able to stay.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
NBC News and the Wall Street Journal recently revealed the results of a nation-wide poll, which found that more than 70 percent of Americans believe we as a nation are headed in the wrong direction. With the unemployment rate in many Fifth District localities remaining above the national average and a national debt exceeding $17 trillion, this comes as no surprise. More than ever before, Americans need solutions.

Freddie Fox To Release "Feelin' It" Through Nu Groove Records
NuGroove Records will be releasing Feelin' It by Freddie Fox July 7th, 2009. Fans will remember Fox from the Grammy-winning song "Morning" with George Benson & Al Jarreau or for his studio work with smooth jazz notables like Marion Meadows, Warren Hill and Walter Beasley.
This album was actually released back in October of 2008 through Foxhole Records. The re-release of this album through Nu Groove Records means that Fox's popularity – especially through this album – is growing. To many of his groove fans, this is a sign that his music will secure a more permanent place on the charts, reassuring everyone that his music is here to stay.
Feelin' It is a showcase of contemporary jazz who's who with appearances by have Nelson Rangell, Najee, Walter Beasley, Michael Lington, Luis Conte, and Freddie's wife Evelyn "Champagne" King on lead vocals on "Happy Feelings." Fox's guitar work sparkles and when you combine World Class performances with solid, feel good tunes you've got yourself a success.
The first single to go to radio is "U Turn." Hans Bernd-Hulsman "HBH" of Smooth-Jazz.de said, "Walking on George Benson's path No U Turn showcases Freddie's full knowledge of guitar magic and melody." Get your FREE download of "No U Turn" here.

The Deep, Dark Mushroom Surprise
`DOWN here, Poobie!''
Oh no! It was Emma calling to me from down in the basement of her house. Emma's mother, Mrs. Mack, grew all sorts of mushrooms down there in the dark. Grew them and sold them, every last one. Mushrooms. Why, the kids in the neighborhood almost never went down there, for who knew what creatures were hiding under all that dirt? Besides, the place smelled like an overturned chemistry set. And you could hear things growing from the top of the stairs, where I was now.
``Come on up, Emma.''
``No, I need your help down here.''
Down? The basement door was open, and up came a fungusy green light. My whole body started to itch. I made a face.
``Is your mom down there?'' I asked.
``No, but she'll be back soon. Hurry!''
My best friend sounded worried. Down I went, trying not to touch anything, not even the railing, which was sure to be slimy. The place was warm and damp.
``Over here, Poobie.''
I followed her voice around to the back of the stairs, where she was standing in front of long rows of what looked like wooden window boxes on a table. Two light bulbs shone down from the ceiling, making everything green - even Emma's face, her cobweb earrings, and her baseball cap.
She was wearing a pair of gardening gloves. ``Careful not to touch anything,'' she warned.
``Don't worry,'' I said.
How could I with my hands inside my pockets?
``So, what's up, Emma?''
``It's like this,'' she said in a rush. ``My sisters' birthday is tomorrow, and Mom told me to make them a mushroom pie, only I'm not sure which mushrooms'd go best, be tastiest.''
The funny noise that came out of my mouth stopped her. ``Emma, er ... a mushroom pie? For a birthday? Even teenagers don't like mushrooms that much, do they?''
I was confused, and so was Emma.
She said, ``Got me. I wouldn't eat it.''
Her twin sisters were weird, but not that weird.

PR: What Not to Do: Release Wishful Thinking
- Posted by Johanna on October 13, 2011 at 7:48 pm
- Category: Comic News
This is, perhaps, one of the oddest press releases I've ever seen, since it basically says "we're talking and we hope we get to do this". Tomorrow, I'm putting out a press release that says I hope I can get Adam Hughes to draw a script I'm writing.
From Ape Entertainment:
Ape Entertainment hopes to set up shop on Sesame Street!
Ape Entertainment announced today that it is currently negotiating with Sesame Workshop for the right to produce a series of comic books featuring the cast of the beloved children's show Sesame Street.
Ape Entertainment hopes to work with Sesame Workshop to create a series of comic books that will be both educational and entertaining for young readers. Subject to successful negotiations, the comics will be produced in full color and available in printed editions as well as in digital editions that will be available through the Sesame Street store on Apple's iTunes in 2012.
This is what happens when it's convention time and the deal hasn't been finalized yet. However, there's a huge potential downside if the deal doesn't work out, especially if the potential partner doesn't like the idea of you going public too early.
Thank goodness not everyone puts out a press release whenever they simply have a conversation about a potential project, or we'd all be swamped by the email.

- Russell lissau Says:
October 14, 2011 at 8:46 AMFirst a caveat: I have written stories for Ape.
Although different than the usual comics PR, news releases about negotiations are not uncommon in the business world. The cubs are negotiating with the red sox for a gm, and it's been news for a week. Stories about potential business deals and negotiations fill the wall street journal. And this release certainly will gain traction in the traditional media.the thought of Sesame Street comics will get writers and editors of a certain age very excited. - Chad Says:
October 14, 2011 at 4:56 PMI'm just going off memory here, but I think most news we get about business negotiations is a result of reporters' digging or unofficial leaks, not companies releasing official press releases about said negotiations while they are under way. Most companies usually don't want any info out until the deal is done and locked down.

I've got a proposal to deal with two major issues that are facing our country today.
How about if we just go ahead and accept each and every hard-working illegal Mexican immigrant into our country…
…and in exchange President Fox of Mexico agrees to take one free-loading American liberal?
I mean, we'd still be giving away the free governmental services, but at least the recipients would be providing some good to this country.

Would not it be excellent if we could get an option with 5 months left right up until expiration and provide an solution with 2 months left until expiration for the very same selling price? You couldn't lose. Properly we can't. I really like possibilities spreads so substantially I realized something quite significant.
We can buy a distribute that has a good deal of time value left at pretty much the similar price tag as we can offer one particular with significantly less time worth left. The explanation truly opened my eyes and gave me new perception into choices. Right here is what I came to comprehend.
I started out evaluating how high-priced alternatives were in relation to the other strike prices in the exact same thirty day period and to the other months. I wished to know based mostly on the selling price for each day which possibilities had been a lot more high priced.
The 1st one or 2 selection months, as absolutely everyone understands loses time worth rapidly. The at the income strike charges are very costly compared to the out of the cash strike charges. Given that there is not that a lot time left, how considerably can they cost for an out of the cash selection? Not much.
The next various months, the opposite is online trading true. Compared to every single other, the strikes that are closer to the dollars are less expensive in conditions of price per day than the choices further more out of the dollars. Let me reveal it a different way working with the S&P current market.
six days left at the cash alternative expense 12 details
6 days left out of the cash selection expense two details
70 days left at the day trading money choice value forty three details
70 days left out of the dollars solution cost 29 details
There is much more than 10X the time left but the 70 day at the funds alternative (forty three factors) is only significantly less than 4X the price than the six day at the money solution (twelve details).
The 70 day out of the funds choice (29 points) is pretty much 15X the expense of the six day out of the funds selection (two points) but only has 10X the time worth. We will get the more affordable per day choices and market the far more pricey per day types.
Offer 6 day at the dollars and sell 70 day out of the income. Purchase six day out of the funds and acquire 70 day at the funds stocks to buy . This will be performed for a four stage debit. We are now acquiring a pass on that has 10X additional time price than the one particular we are promoting and are only paying out 4 details for it.
When the 6 day options expire we can sell the up coming thirty day period to take in more premium, nonetheless retaining the 70 day solution pass on.
What goes up, should come down! We have all heard this before in reference to the legal guidelines of Gravity. We have laws in the commodity markets as well. What happens down, should go up! The best traders of our time like Warren Buffet know this. He is maybe the biggest Stock trader ever. He had by no means traded commodities right up until a couple of a long time ago. He acquired silver in the futures market. banc de binary When the market went even decrease he acquired more.
The sensible dollars, commercials will not be frightened into offering when a current market they have obtained drops even further. They know far better than any individual that a commodity has genuine value and will generally be worth one thing.
There is a well known book, You Are not able to Get rid of Trading Commodities. The writer purchases commodities and then just waits for binary options trading the marketplace to go increased. He would invest in far more as the marketplace fell.
You will need a huge bankroll for this. Personally I know corn will not go to $one.00 but what if it did? I want to limit the possibility in situation I want to conclusion the trade.
I started off trading the Soy Advanced this way many several years ago. Not with choices. Strictly futures. I commodities market bought what was identical to a crush spread. I greater the contracts as the marketplace went versus me until eventually the distribute rebounded a little. Considering that I increased the contracts I didn't want the market place to arrive back to the place I began. It only had to rebound to the next amount.
Black Jack people did this until finally Casinos caught on and put boundaries on bets. It forex trading is a acknowledged reality that futures traders make great gamblers and specialist gamblers make excellent futures traders. I am from gambling but even gambling carried out with a process is not really gambling.
These card people would wager a thing like this $5 shed, $10 drop, $20 drop, $forty get rid of, $80 win. The losses add up to $75. They would win $eighty, buy stocks so the profit is $5. Not a good deal, but they would do this all day. Black Jack is just below fifty% likelihood for the player.
The challenge is there is a slight probability that you could drop forty occasions in a row. Now with Commodities we have a fifty% probability and we won't lose fifty occasions in a row simply because the marketplace can't stocks to buy go under zero.
Now ahead of I go any further more, I need to tell you that I am not recommending you double down on your trades. What you can come across are markets that are around their lows exactly where you can do a smaller scale trade. Spreads offer even far better opportunities. They have a nearer variety (higher to low).
By now you can see we only use this to go very long a market place because we can never ever be guaranteed how substantially a marketplace can go increased. Very first we need to locate a marketplace that is reduced presently so we will not have to wait that lengthy and also so there will be a lot less funds wanted.
I prefer to trade this utilizing selections. There are several strategies to do this. You could invest in an forex market choice in a current market like soybeans and decide on how numerous cents the current market will drop just before you invest in much more. The challenge is, an choice is a wasting asset. The Theta (time decay) would bring about you to drop cash.
I use spreads so I am not having to pay for time decay. I will in all probability offer far more Theta than I acquire, so if the current market does practically nothing I will make income just on time decay.

Walmart on Tuesday launched a private label diabetes care line that it said could save U.S. patients up to $60 million annually.
Retail News Breaks Archives
BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Walmart on Tuesday launched a private label diabetes care line that it said could save U.S. patients up to $60 million annually.
The ReliOn products promise an affordable, quality option to help the country's nearly 26 million individuals with diabetes.
The ReliOn Prime meter is priced at $16.24, while ReliOn Prime blood sugar test strips go for $9 for 50, or 18 cents per test.
"Many people with diabetes struggle to manage their disease, due to its terrible financial burden," said John Agwunobi, president of Walmart U.S. Health and Wellness. "We've worked closely with our suppliers and found a way to significantly reduce the cost of diabetes products for all of our customers, whether they have insurance or not, so they can better manage their disease."
Other ReliOn items at reduced prices include gloves, lancets and syringes. Walmart also offers ReliOn insulin products at $24.88 per bottle.
The American Diabetes Association recommends that people who take insulin to treat their diabetes should test their blood glucose levels a minimum of three times a day to appropriately manage the disease. Many people on oral medications also test their blood glucose, which can result in expensive out-of-pocket costs. People with diabetes spend as much as $1,000 each year on blood glucose monitoring test strips alone, regardless of whether they have insurance. Switching to ReliOn Prime test strips can save each diabetes patient as much as $784 a year, according to Walmart.
The Walmart Foundation has donated more than $2 million to diabetes-focused organizations across the United States over the last fiscal year, including the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes Today Advisory Council, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Southeastern Diabetes Education Services.

Happy Birthday, Coca-Cola! Heres How to Cook with the Classic Soda
On March 29, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton supposedly brewed the very first batch of Coca-Cola. The rest, as they say, is history. But today Coca-Cola is more than just a soft drink. You can use it in recipes, with delicious results really! To celebrate Coca-Cola's long history, check out these ways to bring the soft drink into the kitchen:
Coca-Cola Pot Roast
This fall-off-the-bone meat is immensely tender from the slow-and-low cooking as well as the acid from the Coca-Cola. You just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it work some magic.
Get the recipe from lovintheoven.com
Nothing says "home cooking" quite like a hearty gumbo. B.T.C. chef Dixie Grimes adds Coca-Cola and black coffee to her version for full-bodied flavor.
Get the recipe.
Coca-Cola Cake
Coca-Cola Cake is a Southern tradition! Though every home cooks version differs, the Coke makes each cake moist, dense, and subtly spicy. (This version even has Coke in the icing!)
Get the recipe from southernbite.com
Coca-Cola and Angostura Bitters
Just a couple dashes of Angostura and youre seconds away from a spicy soda cocktail at your desk. (Dont worry, bitters are only slightly alcoholic.) The herbal mixture in Angostura adds a cozy depth to classic Coke that youll love. Plus, spiking your soda puts you in very good company.
