text: On the occasion of International Anti-Smoking Day, which falls on Monday, May 31, Minister of Health Dr. Osama Shobokshi referred to reports of the World Health Organization (WHO) and warned against an increase in the number of smokers among young people, especially girls. He said Saudi Arabia is fully aware of the adverse impact of smoking and has taken measures to contain the menace, including a ban on smoking in all government offices, public institutions, and domestic flights of Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA). There is also an embargo on cigarette advertising in Saudi newspapers, and a 100 percent increase in custom tariffs has been imposed on imported tobacco and its derivatives. He added that the GCC standards organization has approved reducing the nicotine content in cigarettes to 0.6 percent, and that there are now 34 anti-smoking clinics in the Kingdom.

Josh and Lyn's wedding was overflowing with simple sweetness. All held at the Old Davie School Historical Museum, an ideal historic wedding venue in Davie, Florida where they could have their simple and sweet wedding in white and yellow. Sugar(ed) Event Design and Planning didn't only style and co0rdinate this wedding to perfection, but they also created the stunning florals.
Continue reading to see how this sweet and simple wedding gave joy not only to the happy couple, but to so many others as well! As always, you can see more of this wedding in white and yellow by visiting the full gallery here, flawlessly captured by Shea Christine Photography.
From the Bride:
Josh and I wanted an intimate gathering of close family and friends. We envisioned a very relaxed and laid-back wedding with details that reflected who we are and what we value – our faith, family, friends, community, and the environment. Since we both work for not-for-profit organizations, it was only natural to support other not-for-profits and give back to the community.
While looking for venues, we wanted a space to be used for both the ceremony and reception. We love open spaces, natural lighting, and fresh air. When we came across the Old Davie School Historical Museum, we fell in love with the large windows and hardwood floors. It was a beautiful venue, and we would be supporting a local historical mission! Not only did we want to support not-for-profits, but also small businesses and artists.
Most of the items used for our wedding were DIY projects or found on Etsy. My wedding dress was custom made by a dressmaker I found on Etsy, the honey used for the favors were purchased directly from a farm, all of our vendors were from surrounding areas, etc. The best part of the wedding besides being surrounded by loved ones from near and far was donating our flowers post-wedding to VITAS Hospice Care in memory of my late grandmother via Petals with Purpose. We didn't want anything to go to waste, including the flowers.

I definitely appreciated bride's that were willing to share their budgets, and it became a great resource while planning. So, I would love to help other bride's, too!

As a general rule, Quentin Tarantino doesn't commission original songs to soundtrack his films, but it wasn't difficult for Jamie Foxx to convince the revered director that he needed to get Rick Ross on a track for his latest masterpiece "Django Unchained."
Late last month, Ross' single "100 Black Coffins" debuted, along with cover art attaching it to the film, and during a recent junket for "Django Unchained," Jamie Foxx told MTV News that he facilitated production of the song after introducing Tarantino to the Miami rapper on the movie set.
"Quentin and Rick meet each other and immediately, they're [vibing]," Foxx said. "Quentin knows everything about him, and God Forgives, I Don't is Rick Ross' album but that's also a spaghetti western title, so they're vibing. And as I'm watching this, I said, 'Quentin I know you've never done original tracks but you have to do it with this dude, and I say this dude because he's not the shiny mainstream rapper. He's got the streets.' "
Both Tarantino and Ross were intrigued by the idea, and after the crew wrapped filming on "Django Unchained," Foxx hit the studio with his own producer to get started on the track. The actor/singer suggested that Ross title the song "100 Black Coffins," and even did a bit of research, drawing inspiration from old TV programs like "The Lawrence Welk Show" to create the appropriate sound effects.
After laying down the base for Rozay's vocals, Foxx took the next steps. "I mimicked Rick Ross' voice on the track, drove the track to Quentin Tarantino — because he doesn't like computer stuff — and let him hear it, then I drive over to Rick Ross' hotel and say 'come downstairs' at 4 a.m. and 'hear this,' " he explained, adding that he emphasized to Ross, "What could happen is you guys could actually enter this song into the Oscar race."
After laying down his preliminary bars Rozay needed a little more guidance from Foxx before he got the full picture. "Rick does the first verse and I say, 'You have to do the whole song because in order for us to turn it in, it has to just be you,' and he says 'Well, I haven't seen the movie.'" Foxx's advice? "I said, 'Well, no one has, but write from [the point of view that] someone took your girl or someone did something bad to your mom, and the second verse he wrote… when people hear it, tears come to their eyes."
Other artists on the "Django Unchained" soundtrack include Anthony Hamilton and John Legend, who recorded "Who Did That To You?" and delivered it to Tarantino for consideration on a cassette tape, without having seen the film.

LODI — A 21-year-old Lodi man is accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Lodi police arrested Robert Shane, 21, of 127 Howe St., on Friday on charge of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Police said a two-week investigation found evidence Shane had sexual contact with the girl on Dec. 21 in his car, which was parked in his driveway.
Police Chief Keith Keough said the sexual conduct — which included intercourse — was consensual.
"Basically it came to light when she told someone, who told someone, and it ended up getting to Job and Family Services," Keough said.
Medina County Job and Family Services launched an investigation and alerted police.
Unlawful sexual conduct with a minor is a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison.
His car was towed by police and will be processed as evidence by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Shane was arraigned Monday before Wadsworth Municipal Court Judge Stephen B. McIlvaine.
He was being held Tuesday at the Medina County Jail on $50,000 bond, 10 percent.
He also is being held on a probation violation for a burglary charge out of Medina County Common Pleas Court. Keough said that offense stemmed from an incident in Wadsworth in 2012.
A post on the Lodi Police Department's Facebook page was removed Sunday after police posted the arrest and comments got out of hand.
"People were starting to debate the issue of why it's OK to have sex with 13-year olds, and someone posted her name, too," Keough said.
The names of juvenile victims usually are not released or publicized, nor are those of alleged victims of sexual assault.

College Hockey:Salazar stands tall in a clutch situation again for Denver
ST. PAUL, Minn. — We've heard all about Jason Zucker. And the Shore brothers too. But much of Denver's good fortune as of late has come from the stick of senior right wing Luke Salazar.
The small (5-foot-7, 155 pounds) and quiet forward has scored some big, loud goals for his team in the month of March.
Salazar, from the Denver suburb of Thornton, Colo., was the hero in last weekend's series win over Wisconsin, notching the game-winning goal in a 3-1 victory Saturday and following that up with the overtime winner Sunday, sending the Pioneers to St. Paul.
Thursday, his goal — which finished off a three-on-two rush at 15:28 of the third period — drew the Pioneers even with Michigan Tech in the WCHA Final Five quarterfinals. That goal forced overtime, and Zucker finished the come-from-behind victory at 2:18 of that extra stanza, sending the Pioneers to a Friday semifinal matchup with Minnesota-Duluth.
Gwozdecky called Salazar one of the quietest players he's had in "some time." But, "certainly his play and his stick talk for him, so to speak," he said.
Salazar, who has 12 game-winning goals and two game-tying tallies in his career, bashfully turned the credit away from himself afterward.
"I've pretty much just been lucky, I think, the past couple games here," he said.
His linemate Drew Shore quickly disagreed with that assessment. "He called himself lucky, but I don't really think a guy that scores that many game-winning goals that late in games really should be 'lucky,'" Shore said. "He does it time and time again. I don't know if I've played with that many guys who have been able to score that many big goals in their career. He's been playing great. Hopefully he keeps it up."
It's been a long journey for the undrafted, largely unheralded Salazar. The hometown kid put up 25 points for the Pioneers his freshman year, most of which he spent on a line with star forward Tyler Bozak. But Bozak's signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2009 left Salazar as the odd man out, as he struggled through a sophomore season in which he appeared in only 17 games.
"It was a struggle for Luke because he had to become better away from the puck," Gwozdecky said. "He had to learn how to play away from the puck. Rather than wait for somebody to get him the puck, he had to go get it.
"To his credit it, he's worked very hard at it."
Now, Gwozdecky said he's happy to see the soft-spoken Salazar contribute in big ways to the Pioneers.
"It's really great to see the effort and work that he's put in, to see it all of a sudden now bear fruit toward the end of his senior year," Gwozdecky said. "It's a great example of if you keep hanging in there, and you keep working, good things are going to happen."

Tonight's Cooking Channel episode of Restaurant Redemption brings chef Ching-He Huang to Tenshi Sushi in Houston in this episode.
Ching met with Nina and her brother Ung; partners in this family backed restaurant that is the only source of the family income. When they first opened the restaurant in 2003, there were few sushi restaurants in the area. Nina and Ung are in a dire situation and asked for Ching to help them bring the restaurant back to life. Nina and her family are from Laos, but the Japanese fare is their specialty. If Ching is going to help this restaurant, she will also have to deal with the broken relationship between the brother and sister.
So she tried a few of their best dishes, like sashimi, tataki and sushi and a few more, all were overpowered by spicy sauces, and now she knows why they are being outdone by the competition. The Laotian soup was delicious, and she was surprised that it was the only Laotian item on the menu. When she told them that the spicy sauces were overpowering, they were surprised. When Ching expressed her concern that they did not have more Laotian foods on the menu, Ung was adamant that there were no other dishes to include, although Nina and Ching knew better. Ching immediately recognized that the communication between the two was non-existent.
On day two, Ching knew she had her work cut out for her. The décor needed to be redesigned to include Laotian items. Ung is very hesitant about Ching's suggestion to put a Laotian influence in the menu. When she found a jar of sauce in the refrigerator, it was delicious. The called it Mama Sauce, but the recipe was a secret. When Ching made a dish utilizing the sauce, it was good, but Ung was still skeptical.
Nina was all for the change, so Ching went ahead with the recipes. Ching met with Ung one-on-one. She gave him the help to work together with his sister, so they could work as a team. Ching made sticky rice and a Laotian creation using meat and spices. In Laos, it is traditional to eat with your hands, and it was a great dish for that purpose. Ung was still the naysayer, and as both Ching and Nina pressed him, he finally agreed.
When she took the siblings in the restaurant to see the new décor, they were both thrilled with the transformation. The line outside the door was excited for the Laotian theme. Ung even smiled for the first time in ages. Now Laotian cuisine is on the map in Houston, and the siblings are on the same page, thanks to Ching and her crew of Restaurant Redemption.

In spring 2012 Julia also became involved with Save the Children through appearing on Channel 4's 'How the Other Half Live'. She, along with her family, saw it as a real opportunity to help single mum, Zofia in relaunching her business aspirations by providing both financial and emotional support.
When Julia met Zofia, she and her daughter were facing eviction from their flat. Despite sending out over 150 applications Zofia was unable to find work and was paying off mounting debts. Julia was able to mentor Zofia (who had previously started her own business) back into self employment and their families have developed a lasting bond.

MINNEAPOLIS — G&K Services recently donated more than $100,000 worth of uniforms to United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta, the company reports. The donated uniforms will be used to support education, work-readiness and job-training programs in the Atlanta area that are supported by United Way.
"G&K believes in giving back to the communities where we operate, and we are pleased to support United Way and its partner organizations in Atlanta," says Jeffrey L. Wright, G&K's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "It is terrific to see our donated uniforms being used to strengthen critical job-training programs that help provide the skills to get Atlanta residents back in the workforce."
"G&K is a valued partner, and this generous gift will go a long way in supporting our community to ensure families and individuals are self-sufficient," says United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta President Milton J. Little Jr. "Currently, Georgia ranks third in the nation in poverty and our unemployment rate is well above the national average, so we have our work cut out for us building bridges of opportunity. This donation is a major step toward that, and we are very grateful."
One of the ways that G&K Services supports local communities is by donating quality new and used uniforms to organizations focused on education and human services.

While I'm of the opinion that certain things should always be splurged on (think shoes, jeans and other staples that'll last you forever through a million wears) and more often than not you do get what you pay for, many of us still have to abide by some sort of budget. If that budget includes picking and choosing what you will or won't pay a little extra for, here are a few examples of pieces that might allow you to cut back without anyone even knowing.
$98 at J.Crew vs. $25 at Old Navy
If you're after a piece that fits well and will see you through at least a few seasons, the Old Navy option should suit you just fine. The classic chambray button-down is fantastic for layering or just wearing on its own, and thanks to the monochromatic trend, you can even pair it with jeans.
$98 at Anthropologie vs. $38.50 at Bohme
Maxi skirts that boast bold prints in contrasting colors are all the rage these days, and when paired with a basic top, they can be worn just about anywhere. Since it's such a fad, though, there's no telling how long it might stay in style, so why not save a little and go with a piece that you won't feel as guilty wearing for only one season?
$88 at White House Black Market vs. $31.46 at Gap
Both of these sweaters offer similar silhouettes and can be easily dressed up or down, depending on what you choose to pair it with. And with a savings of $50 you just might be able to afford an accessory or two.
And here's an extra tip: No matter what you spend on clothes, they'll last longer if you take care while washing them. Always follow the label's instructions and try to keep them out of the dryer. Air drying helps pieces to better maintain their shape and extends the fabric's quailty.

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question...
Q: I recently watched your video on Intervals and had a question about a term I came across called, "Interval Inversions." In the music book I have, it said that when an interval is inverted it actually becomes another interval. Could you consider doing a video on this idea? Thank you.
Henk -- the Netherlands
A: I doubt that it'll come as to much surprise that in order to understand the idea of, Interval Inversions the concept of Intervals themselves must first require some study before-hand. If you haven't had a chance to watch my lesson on Intervals, I'd suggest that would be a good starting point. You can find the full video lesson on my Creative Guitar Studio.com website; under; Music Theory -- with the video title of: Understanding Musical Intervals.
Because Intervals operate around the foundation of key signatures, if you're not well aware of your key signature theory, that would be yet another area to study up on. My video titled: "MUSIC READING - Level 6: Understanding Key Signatures" should work as a good starting point on that topic.
When Intervals are inverted, we simply find the lower note becoming the higher note, or the higher note becoming the lower. It can be a little confusing... So, in order to explain this idea as clearly as possible, I've created a number of examples for the video so you can fully understand how this idea operates.
The complete lesson /article for this video will be available on the Creative Guitar Studio and Andrew Wasson Blog websites shortly. Follow me on Twitter for active lesson posting announcements:

By: AP
The Thruway is closed between Exit 55 and 61 from Buffalo to Pennsylvania.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A more than 130-mile stretch of the Thruway in western New York has been closed in both directions because of blizzard conditions across the region.
The Thruway Authority says early Tuesday afternoon that Interstate 90 is closed from Exit 46 just south of Rochester to Exit 61 at Ripley, on the Pennsylvania border 60 miles southwest of Buffalo. I-90 between Buffalo and Ripley has been closed since Monday night, but westbound traffic had been allowed to travel until late Tuesday morning as far as Exit 50 just east of Buffalo before having to exit the highway.
State police say all westbound traffic must now leave I-90 at Exit 46, where eastbound traffic is being allowed to enter the highway.
Travel advisories or bans are in effect across western New York.

One of George Washington's Worst Fears:
Congress In the Grip of Political Parties
It is an incredible event to watch the power struggle going on in the United States Senate. And what seems even more incredulous is that so much power is hinged on how one senator is registered back in his home state! Such power manipulations would have been shocking to the Founders. It is this very activity within political parties that caused President Washington to include prophetic warnings about political parties in his farewell address.
Exactly twenty years ago, Dr. W. Cleon Skousen published a treatise entitled, "Why We Must Reform Congress by 1983." His study of the problem and his recommended solutions are worth reviewing today. The following are excerpts from his study.
The Original Formula
In the beginning the United States Congress was rather simple. The people elected representatives to the House, and the state legislatures appointed two senators to represent the territory and rights of each particular state. Both the House and the Senate made up their own rules, elected a few necessary officers and set about the business of passing the few laws which came within the purview of the Federal government.
In 1801 the newly elected President, Thomas Jefferson, found the system working so well that he saw little need for adding any new laws to the federal register. Said he:
"The path we have to pursue is so quiet that we have nothing scarcely to propose to our Legislature (the Congress). A noiseless course not meddling with the affairs of others, unattractive of notice, is a mark that society is going on in happiness."
However, even at this early date, the first seeds had already been sown which would grow and ripen into living political vegetation producing some strange fruits. None of these new implants in the political system were more disruptive than the rise of two separate political parties.
Political Parties
Of course, the Founders knew there would be "factions" and special interest groups to plague the Congress, but the Founders had hoped that these factions would remain fluid and temporary rather than crystallize into firm organizational structures of established political parties. By 1800, however, the factions of Federalists and anti-Federalists had structured themselves into solid bulwarks of political party power.
In his Farewell Address, President Washington expressed the most profound anxiety about the development of these "factions." He wrote:
"... all combinations and associations under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberations and actions of the constituted authorities, are destructive.... They serve to organize faction, to give an artificial and extraordinary force, to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of the party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils, and modified by mutual interests."
Congressman John J. Rhodes wrote a book entitled The Futile System. In it he emphasized how rapidly the people's control of Congress has deteriorated in the last two decades. He indicates that Washington's prophetic words are being completely and literally fulfilled. Here are Congressman Rhodes' comments:
"The majority of congressional actions are aimed not at producing results for the American people as much as perpetuating the longevity and comfort of the men who run Congress. It is a rip-off for the American taxpayer, injurious to the national interest and an insult to the dignity of the legislative branch envisioned by the Founding Fathers. The massive deterioration that has taken place within the U.S. Congress during the past two decades is more than just a pity; it poses serious questions for the future of the country. For unless 'the people's branch' can be reformed -- and soon -- it is unlikely that America will find herself able to meet the pressing challenges that lie ahead."
The Monolithic Power Structure Inside Congress
Many Congressmen have pointed out in speeches and books that the most corruptive and corrosive factor which prevents the "will of the people" from getting through the legislative channels in the people's House of Representatives is the fact that five positions which are always held by the majority party are like massive legislative valves that shut off any bills the leaders of the majority do not approve. On the other hand, procedures have been developed so that they can virtually coerce the Congress into accepting a considerable amount of legislation which might otherwise be rejected.
Congressman John Rhodes says the six critical positions which operate like feudal fiefdoms in the House of Representatives are at present as follows (the Senate has comparable positions):
- 1. The Speaker of the House
- 2. The Majority Leader
- 3. The Majority Whip
- 4. The Caucus Chairman
- 5. The Chairman of the House Administration Committee
- 6. The Chairman of the House Rules Committee
Here is how these positions have been structured to serve political bosses and political leaders rather than the American people.
Speaker of the House
The Speaker is elected by the members of the majority party to be the quarterback for their team. He has all the authority of a chairman in charge of the debates, reports, and procedures in daily sessions. He is also able to make some of the most important appointments to positions of power. As the chief strategist and tactician of the party he tends to be extremely party-conscious. He works closely with the President when the chief executive is a member of his own party but often works just as hard to make points directly against the President when the latter is not of the Speaker's party.
Whether important bills move smoothly through the legislative channels is largely the responsibility of the Speaker. Not so long ago Congressman Robert Carr of Michigan commented on the impotency of the House leadership saying, "The leadership is out of touch with Congress, and Congress is out of touch with the country. The leadership is still trying to find 1935 answers to 1975 questions."
One of the most serious problems connected with the present arrangement in the election of the Speaker is the fact that he has no limitation on the length of his office. This allows him to build up a tremendous power base. This might be good for the party he serves but it certainly violates the best interests of the people's House of Representatives.
Suggested Reform: The office of speaker should be for two years and the incumbent should not be allowed to succeed himself.
The Majority Leader
There would be no such office as Majority Leader in the House or Senate if it were not for the political party system. As it exists, the Majority Leader is an important cog in the monolithic flywheel of power in Congress. First of all, he schedules bills on the calendar to suit his own purposes. He can put a controversial bill on the calendar with very little notice and thereby take the opposition by surprise. On the other hand, if the Majority Whip finds that the opposition to a bill is too well-organized to get it passed, the Majority Leader can pull the bill off the calendar at the last moment in order to give his party troops time to marshal the necessary votes to overcome the opposition.
The Majority Leader has the duty to announce toward the end of each week the legislative calendar for the following week. Members of both parties base their travel schedules, committee hearings, and other commitments on this information. A tactical device available to the Majority Leader is to make last-minute changes in the schedule after the members have already made appointments back home on the basis of the original announcement. This is only one of many tricks which an unethical Majority Leader can impose on the minority party to hinder it from pushing through some legislation of its own.
Suggested Remedy: The House should make it a rule that once the legislative calendar is announced, it cannot be changed without the consent of the Minority Leader.
The Majority Whip
It is the responsibility of the party Whip to communicate the will of the party leaders to the rank-and-file. It is also his responsibility to pass on to the members of the party what the upcoming legislative calendar will be after the Majority Leader has made the selection.
On important bills, it is the responsibility of the Whip to canvass the party supporters to see if they will hold the line and vote with their leaders. He must also canvass the party members and advise the party leaders in advance what the vote tally will be on a particular bill. If the number of votes is inadequate, it is his job to work with the party leadership to solidify existing support and try to convince the uncommitted party members to close ranks.
The Majority Whip is chosen by the Speaker and the Majority Leader. For all practical purposes he is primarily a party functionary rather than an objective and independent legislator in the United States Congress.
There is no remedy for this situation since it is a natural outgrowth of political party structure. The successful function of each party in the legislative process requires party Whips in order to be effective. Nevertheless, if the recommended reforms went into operation, the role of the party Whips would be less formidable.
The Caucus Chairman
A caucus is a meeting of the party leadership and sometimes the party members. The purpose of the caucus is to discuss particular bills and the strategy to be used in passing or defeating them. The caucus is also important as an educational forum to gain a consensus of understanding concerning the nature and implications of a particular bill.
The political perversion of the caucus arises when it is used for secret, closed-door sessions to intimidate the members of the party into voting according to the dictates of the party leadership rather than according to conscience.
The party leadership has at its disposal important appointments, party funds, the giving or withholding of support for a Congressman's legislative needs in his own particular district, etc. All of these can become weapons in the hands of party managers to force party members into line during a caucus meeting.
Beginning at the turn of the century, the perversion of the party caucus for political intimidation became particularly prevalent. However, in 1975 the Republican leadership announced a new policy for their caucus meetings. Party conferences were opened to the public and press. They also announced that when the Republican Party gained a majority in the House, it would no longer appoint the chairmen of various committees exclusively on the basis of seniority, but simply count it as one of several factors to consider. They recommended that the practice of coercing party members to commit themselves to vote a certain way (called "unit rule") should be outlawed. It was pointed out that:
By means of the "unit rule," as few as one-third of the members of the Democratic Caucus can dictate procedural and substantive matters in the various committees and may well determine the legislative outcome on the House Floor. This is a most serious if not unconstitutional affront to our democratic system. Allegiance to the Caucus, under the "unit rule" procedure takes precedence over one's conscience and the needs of one's constituencies.
Suggested Reform: All caucus conferences should be open to the public and the press and the "unit rule" of caucus control over the voting rights of party members should be outlawed.
Chairman of the Rules Committee
There has to be a Rules Committee in the House to regulate the flow of legislation from the various committees to the House floor. However, party managers have manipulated the authority of this committee into a powerful choke-hold on the legislative process which can be devastating to the legitimate requirements of the law-making responsibilities of the House.
Every bill requires a "rule" from this committee before it can reach the Floor, therefore, the Rules Committee can effectively kill a piece of legislation simply by denying it a "rule." Furthermore, the rule issued by the Committee on a particular bill can restrict the main body of the House from a full discussion or even prevent the bill from being changed. The Rules Committee can thereby cut off from Floor discussion a wide range of legislative options which might be available. To the average citizen it may seem totally nonsensical, but the fact remains that under existing procedures the Rules Committee can send a bill to the floor under a "closed rule" and no amendment to this bill can be offered from the Floor.
It is interesting that for many years the Speaker of the House was always the chairman of the Rules Committee. However, conservative Republican "Joe" Cannon so abused this double portion of power under the aegis of these two positions that they were separated in 1910. But it was virtually an idle gesture. The Speaker won the right to personally appoint the Chairman of the Rules Committee so the two continued to work for all practical purposes as one entity.
Suggested Remedy: All legislation should be the product of all the people's representatives; therefore it should be sent to the Floor under an "open" rule. The "unit rule" should be outlawed.
We close this letter with George Washington's words that political parties will bring out the worst in a free people:
"Let me now.warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party.. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists.in all governments.but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy."
- Sincerely,
Earl Taylor, Jr.

Imagine this if you will.
You experience strange ET Contact & happenings your entire life.
"They" begin to communicate through telepathy leading you to Cosmic Spiritual Truths regarding how Thought Create Reality subject matter.
They begin to reveal themselves in the Physical in Orbs Of Light/Plasma over Lake Erie.
They allow you to film them.
Your footage goes viral gaining worldwide attention.
Your footage lands you on a prime time TV show. On the episode, They decide to test your blood and it is revealed you do not have normal human blood, A very rare blood anomaly/bloodline that the world's best military and civilian doctors are at a loss to explain?
The host of the show Legendary UFO Researcher Bill Birnes goes on to say "I've got a funny feeling that you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you're being recruited for - that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between "ET" and humans. And they are giving you a course of study preparing you to meet your ET higher self."
Soon After the airing of this show You are indeed contacted by this branch of the government and offered a course of study.
Then you are met by beings claiming to be ET's themselves, and these beings announce themselves as the Anunnaki, which is a term at that point in time you didn't even know the meaning of.
These Anunnaki tell you that you yourself are an Anunnaki incarnated into the Nephilim "Royal" Human/Anunnaki Hybrid Bloodline?
And then this secret branch of the government begins to inform and guide you to information to make sense out of all of this?
Welcome to my world!
Let me tell you a little about myself, I am a musician, filmographer and UFO experiencer. I have been told my footage of the Lake Erie UFO's has created a Billy Meier like buzz!
What I am sharing is that this unassuming rocker seems to have developed an intuitive relationship with these craft!
In my home state of Ohio, I have been cataloging video after video of UFO's over Lake Erie. What makes these different than most sightings is that the phenomena consists almost entirely of 'Pulsating orb's of light' characteristics. Unusual lights seen changing colors, converging, and separating over the lake. Stories of the unexplained phenomena date back over 150 years to the indigenous tribes. My Lake Erie UFO footage has been featured on Fox News, Coast to Coast AM, Rense.com, hbccufo.org and in the feature film's "UFO's unplugged with Dan Aykroyd", And David Sereda's latest film From Here To Andromeda which I also co-produced. I've most recently been featured on the History Channel's "UFO's Hunters" show and filmed a pilot for a Alien/UFO based show for Spike TV in 2012 that was never aired for various reasons.

Making Sense of Uncertainty: Planning, Risk and Place
The construction of LNG terminals at Milford Haven in South Wales and a gas pipeline from Swansea to Gloucestershire was the subject of a study. These projects, together with their UK Government policy background (primarily the 2003 and 2006 Energy White Papers), weave together several dimensions of uncertainty: local economic development, national energy security, global fossil fuel use and climate change. A series of interviews with community activists protesting against the infrastructure projects explored how the conflicts between interviewees' and official understandings of the uncertainties surrounding the building of the new infrastructure reflect different judgements about what kinds of values (economic, social, amenity, environmental) would be affected by the project. On the basis of the interviews and an analysis of the project's history, the research explored how local planning conflicts both reveal invisible values, vital to communities yet perhaps overlooked in impact assessments, and shed light on the tension between the private and public duties of privatized energy utilities.
Aims of Project

When I was first invited to Haiti with Help One Now, I didn't want to go. My kneejerk was to politely decline. I had no doubt that Help One Now was doing good work, that it was a good and worthy cause, but I was scared. I've been pushed out of my comfort zone enough in the last two years, traveling to a country in such severe need wasn't high on my mental health agenda.
It was my husband The Gorilla who supplied the proper response: Of course you'll go to Haiti.
One week from tomorrow I'll start the journey. I'm going in a little blind. I'm not totally sure what we'll be seeing, I'm uneducated on the needs, am not even fully certain on what Help One Now wants to show me to share with you.
School Video from Help One Now on Vimeo.
I do know we'll be going to this school. The simplicity of this video gave me a lump in my throat. Things like basic education, I know it take it for granted daily. As we fret over the myriad of elementary school options for my kids in Los Angeles, I won't soon forget what an embarrassment of riches that is.
When I went to Sri Lanka in 2012, I was skeptical of the child sponsorship model. But seeing it in action, I understand how it works better and while I still don't think it's perfect, I know from experience what these monthly pledges do for communities.
(I do know that part of the aim of our trip is to secure 100 child sponsorships in Drouin, and Help One Now founder Chris Marlow writes about why here. 100 seems very do-able doesn't it? I like that kind of end goal.)
Back then, I had all kinds of mixed feelings about the United States and the western Church flooding into poverty-stricken areas with all their "plans." I still have some of those questions and concerns. Years later, I wonder if readers are tired of bloggers traveling abroad and then asking for help. But the internet is a powerful tool for good, and this happens to be my platform, so who am I to limit myself and you?
Information has to spread somehow, and I trust myself as a source and I hope you trust me.
I'm just as nervous one week out as I was when I first heard about the trip. There is no "but..." coming. Just nerves. I want to do right by the trip and by all that trust.
If you're the praying type, I ask that you add the Help One Bloggers to your list. If you're the following type, I hope you'll read my posts from Haiti and not just automatically skip them. I'll be sharing my adventure here and on Instagram, mostly.
And an adventure it shall be.

Safe at school
My children go to Carroll County High. I feel safe that they are in the school. I know exactly when my kid needs me or whatever. The parents that have to have grandparents make a comment for them, they need to get it right. [Some people are] asking to fight. I don't know why, but that's just the way kids are today. My kid is safe at school and I have 100 percent faith in Carroll County High School. Thank you very much.

He was the Halls Fellow in poetry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1995-'96, a Hoyns fellow at the University of Virginia in 1992-'93, and, for a time, a frequent resident at Yaddo.
Loomis is also the author of two critically acclaimed mystery novels, High Season (2007) and Mating Season (2009), from St. Martin's Minotaur. High Season was named a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice, and was selected as one of the Washington Post Bookworld's Best Books of 2007.

One of the most difficult conditions to diagnose is also one of the most debilitating, says Dr. Mehmet Oz: It's fibromyalgia. On his Feb. 17 talk show, he explored the symptoms and cures. In addition, he revealed the best sources of fiber for weight loss and health.
Fiber can help you lose weight because it fills you up with fewer calories. It also can relieve constipation and ease digestive problems. Good sources include:
- Canned pumpkin, such as naturally sweet Farmers Market Organic Pumpkin (click for details). Our tip: Mix half a cup of this low-calorie pumpkin with one-half cup of plain Greek yogurt, a dash of cinnamon and zero-calorie sweetener such as stevia.
- GG Bran Crispbread, with just 25 calories per large cracker (click for details). Our tip: Crumble up and mix into plain oatmeal, then top with cinnamon for a filling breakfast.
- Shredded wheat cereal with strawberries, such as Post Shredded Wheat with Bran (click for details).
If you feel constantly tired, no matter how much sleep you get, and also suffer from widespread pain, you may have fibromyalgia, says Dr. Oz. Other symptoms include brain fog, depression and frequent headaches. Although no definitive tests exist, checking certain tender points on the body can determine if you might have fibromyalgia.
Press with your thumb until the nail goes white on tender points such as the neck (back and front), shoulders (top and between the shoulder blades), hips (tops and sides), below your collar bone, elbows and knees. You should feel actual pain, not just pressure.
No definitive medication exists, says Dr. Oz. However, certain measures can help.
For relief from fibromyalgia, Dr. Oz recommends:
- Exercising gently, such as stretches.
- Taking 25 mcg of B-12.
- Taking 5,000 mg 3 times per day of D5-Ribose
In addition, getting enough sleep is essential for fibromyalgia, but sleep problems can occur with this condition. Dr. Oz recommends Valerian tea, such as Yogi Bedtime Tea (click for details).
Tip: Reading in-depth about fibromyalgia can help you to manage your own journey. Click the links below to find out more about each book:

I am not sure about what you mean by "finitely many sets", as your $n$ seems to be running through all the natural numbers.
In any case it is a non-trivial fact, called Lusin's Theorem, that every measurable function on an interval agrees with a continuous function off a set of arbitrarily small measure.
