#JeSuisCharlie sweeps Twitter as Internet users rush to show solidarity with French satirical news magazine after massacre
- Hashtag started trending on Twitter just an hour after news of attack broke
- Just four hours later it had been tweeted a quarter of a million times
- Many chose to share cartoons in solidarity with the satirical magazine
Thousands of Twitter users are expressing their solidarity with news magazine Charlie Hebdo with the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie after the attack at their offices this morning.
Journalists around the world led the trend for the hashtag, which translates as 'I am Charlie', as events following the massacre unfolded this afternoon.
By 4.15pm, nearly five hours after three gunmen stormed the building and opened fire in the Charlie Hebdo newsroom, it had already been tweeted more than 250,000 times, according to one social analytics website.

The three masked attackers burst into the satirical magazine's offices at 11.30am this morning, opening fire on staff after seeking out journalists by name.
Those executed included four of the most famous cartoonists in France – men who had regularly satirised Islam and the Prophet Mohammed – including the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Stephane Charbonnier.
The phrase #JeSuisCharlie had become a rallying call within minutes of yesterday's attack on the office of Charlie Hebdo.
By late afternoon it had been tweeted more than 250,000 times by people showing their unity with the satirical magazine and the victims.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted the hashtag and wrote in French: 'The response to such demonic violence is love for those who suffer and virtuous action against evil', followed by the same tweet in English.
Twitter users wrote poignant outpourings of grief alongside the #JeSuisCharlie hashtag last night.
One, Sebastien Kuntz, said: 'To all the ordinary people around the world standing up for freedom despite terrorist threats... My heart bleeds #JeSuisCharlie.'
Another, Lara Meone Savine, wrote: 'France stands together and the world stands with France. Your love, unity is beautiful and inspiring. I'm with you tonight.'
Showing their solidarity with the magazine, thousands of Twitter users also posted the hashtag along with the famous Voltaire misquote: 'I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
Many of the tweets included satirical cartoons, including one published in 2012 by New Yorker magazine of a blank square with the message: 'Please enjoy this culturally, ethnically, religiously and politically correct cartoon responsibly. Thank you.'

Making a stand: Demonstrators hold stickers reading 'I am Charlie', during a demonstration in Paris today
Stationery protest: People hold up pens during a gathering in front of the city hall of Rennes, western France
Another tweet under the hashtag by David Pope, political cartoonist at The Canberra Times in Australia, included a cartoon showed a masked gunman standing next to the corpse of a cartoonist. A speech bubble says: 'He drew first.'
Among the first to use the hashtag was Thierry Puget, who made the graphic at the top of this story, which has been widely retweeted by others expressing solidarity with the magazine.
Others posted images of Charlie Hebdo's most famous and controversial front covers of recent years, including one of an issue supposedly guest-edited by the Prophet Muhammad promising 'a hundred lashes if you don't die laughing.'
The US embassy in France was one of those which changed its official Twitter profile, @USEmbassyFrance, to show the #JeSuisCharlie logo as its picture.
Meanwhile the French news agency AFP tweeted a photograph of its dozens of staff holding placards, and held a minute's silence for their fellow journalists.

Joining in with the hashtag: The Archbishop of Canterbury said on Twitter tonight that the response to 'such demonic violence' should be 'love for those who suffer and virtuous action against evil'
Google France paid tribute to the Charlie Hebdo victims by posting an image of a black ribbon below its search box, and the #JeSuisCharlie hashtag was also shared by tens of thousands of people across the image-sharing website Instagram.
A Facebook group called Je Suis Charlie was set up to inform people of vigils throughout the world – which it described as 'good gatherings of peace-lovers' – and had attracted more than 80,000 members within hours of forming.
Charlie Hebdo's website crashed last night and when it returned online simply showed a black screen with the words 'Je Suis Charlie' in white, followed by a link to a seven-page document with 'Je Suis Charlie' written on each page in seven languages, including Arabic, German and Spanish.
Twitter user Jay McKinnon wrote: 'Tonight's crowds give me hope that France will show us that #JeSuisCharlie means more freedom, not less.'
The 'I am…' sentiment has become a fiercely powerful expression against injustice. The phrase 'I am a man' was first used during black civil rights strikes in Memphis – which had the support of Martin Luther King.
It was also used last year in Missouri, America, amid civil unrest and protest against the killing of black teenager Michael Brown when protesters chanted and wore T-shirts bearing the phrase 'I am Michael Brown'.
By midday there were reports of up to 12 people dead and 10 wounded, four critically, including journalists, administrative staff, and police officers who attended the scene.

President Francois Hollande described the bloodbath as a 'barbaric attack against France and against journalists' and vowed to hunt down those responsible.
As well as the AK47 assault rifles, there were also reports of a rocket-propelled grenade being used in the attack, which took place during the publication's weekly editorial meeting, meaning all the journalists would have been present.
They are said to have sought out staff 'by name', according to a police source, adding that Charbonnier, known as Charb, a cartoonist responsible for an anti-Islam front page, was among those killed.
Mr Charbonnier was included in a 2013 Wanted Dead or Alive for Crimes Against Islam article published by Inspire, the terrorist propaganda magazine published by Al Qaeda.
Cartoonists Cabu, Tignous and Wolinski were all also reported dead.

These Polymer Clay Pumpkin Magnets from Becky Meverden are a great way to get in the mood for Halloween. They make festive accents for your refrigerator or other metal surfaces. The purple polka dots add a pop of color to these sweet pumpkins. Best of all, unlike some other Halloween crafts, they're not even a tiny bit creepy. Your little goblins can help you put together these polymer clay crafts. You can turn these precious pumpkins into jewelry charms as well.
- Polymer clay - For pumpkin: orange, brown, white, black, Polka dots: magenta or purple
- Toothpick
- 1/2" round magnet
- 3/4" round Kemper cutter, optional
- E6000 adhesive
Flatten a 1" orange ball into a 1 5/8" circle. Use your fingers to flatten the ball, but keep the center thicker than the edges.
Use a toothpick to indent lines on the pumpkin.
For the stem, roll a 5/16" brown ball into a 1/4" long tapered log. Use a toothpick to indent lines on the stem. Press the stem onto the back of the pumpkin.
For the eyes, flatten 2 3/16" white balls into teardrops. Press onto pumpkin. For the pupils, flatten 2 3/32" black balls and press them onto the eyes. Use a toothpick to make two squint lines by each eye.
For the eyebrows, roll two 1/8" orange balls into 1/4" long tapered logs. Press above each eye.
For the nose, roll a 1/4" orange ball into an oval and press onto the pumpkin.
For the mouth, press the lower half of a round cutter into the pumpkin. You can also use the lid of a tub margarine container. Cut a 1" x 2" strip and use your fingers to curve one end of the clay. Press into the pumpkin. Use a toothpick to place a hole on both sides of the mouth.
For the polka dots, roll 1/8" magenta (or whatever color you choose) balls. Press randomly all over pumpkin.
Bake pumpkin in a preheated 365 degree oven for 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Glue magnet to the back of the pumpkin.

I was able to get in a couple of slow runs this week by running with some running buddies. It was nice to get back outside and OFF the treadmill! I have a hate hate relationship with the treadmill. But, I have to admit it has kept me running through the winter. I'm not sure how my running will work out this year. I'd really like to train for a half marathon, but at this time I think I may have to keep to shorter distances. It is not something that I want to hear, and I'm not sure if I'll do it, but I know it is a possiblity that I might not be allowed to run longer distances. Guess I'll just have to run shorter faster distances (ha). I'm trying to think positive and not get caught up in what I am missing out on at the moment.
Looks like I may have to skip some my gym work outs this week (bummer). Maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to get back to a schedule. I don't like missing my work outs - and neither do the people around me. I tend to get a little grouchy. :)

Cities & Superheroes
Cities & Superheroes
so i was reading gotham central when at a certain moment the mayor and the detectives discover that the urban terrorist they were investigating was actually the joker
again and their reactions are something else 😂
many don't like jared letos joker as much as they like heath ledgers joker and I can understand that but jareds facial expressions are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Dear comic artists:
This is how you draw a scantily-clad supe walking into a room. Take note. You see how Kory's shoulders are back and she's standing up straight and she comes off as calm and competent and completely relaxed? Notice how she's not posed in a way that absolutely exploits all the different side-boob and side-ass options? That is how to draw a scantily-clad supe walking into a room.
Also, bonus points to the Gotham Central artist for having Maggie and Renee in the same haze of hotness as the men. A lesser artist (and writer, I assume, given that Brubaker is a details guy) would have had Maggie and Renee (both out lesbians) look away or scoff. But no. Starfire is hot and Maggie and Renee are into women they find hot. It's great.
Gotham Central #19 (2004)
Art by Michael Lark, Stefano Gaudiano & Lee Loughridge
There is no comic I recommend more often or more emphatically than Brubaker, Rucka and Lark's Gotham Central. It is easily one of the best superhero comics of the last twenty years–probably one of the best superhero comics ever. It is thrillingly written, gorgeously drawn, and emotionally resonant–and on top of this? Its treatment of gender, race, and sexuality isn't just nuanced, but central to the storyline.
The first thing you need to know is that it isn't really a superhero story. Gotham Central is about the Gotham City Police Department in general, the Major Crimes Unit in particular–caped characters pop up here and there, but the series is mostly about mopping up after them. It's an ensemble story, and every single character is memorable, but the true protagonist and beating heart of the story is Renee Montoya. Half a Life, the comic's second arc, deals with her outing as a lesbian to the GCPD–and if her story had stopped there, it would have been fantastic. Half a Life deals with professional discrimination, family tension, and the reality of being a lesbian woman of color–in a memorable scene, Renee confronts Maggie Sawyer, her white lesbian boss, for assuming their experiences are identical. But her story doesn't stop there. Renee's arc goes on to deal with killing in the line of duty, confronting police corruption, the loss of friends on the force, and her own predilection for violence. It's an incredible lesson in how to lead a female character down a dark path the right way–it's never exploitative, it's never gross, it's never because of her gender or sexuality. It's never cheap. Renee's is the kind of hard-bitten, morally thorny sojourn reserved almost entirely for male characters.
But even apart from Renee, Gotham Central is tremendous. Soft Targets, the focus of the second volume, is one of my favorite Joker arcs ever, and I have serious Joker fatigue. Nature, a single issue story, gives Poison Ivy a personality beyond Sexy Plant Lady. Gotham Central even made me briefly care about the shitshow that was Infinite Crisis. I don't even really like police procedurals! It's just that goddamn good.
(So you want to get into comics?)
Since Cory is always the touchy one in interviews (and not just with Robin, with EVERYONE), I just love the thought that Ed is the touchy one in the relationship. Like, sorry-you're-out-in-public-Mister-Mayor-but-I-have-to-be-PDA-af touchy. Standing together somewhere? Ed just has to caress Oswald's fingers. Sitting together somewhere? Just has to wrap his legs around Oswald's. Imagine Oswald trying to have a legit meeting with his staff/his underlings and Ed just feels the need to cuddle him unnecessarily and Os is just like "OH MY GOD ED STOP" but everyone already knew this was happening anyway, so now Os has to conduct meetings while Ed hangs on his shoulders like a backpack. The windows in the limo can never ever be rolled down because the minute they get in there, Ed is just cheek-to-cheek with Oswald, who blushes and goes "Ed, stop, what will the press think?!?!" but every tabloid loves it and calls Ed the First Man of Gotham and runs articles speculating about what hair gel he uses and Ed and Os's relationship accidentally consumes everyone's life and can you tell I put a ton of thought into this?
Gotham Central, "Half a Life"
Written by Greg Rucka, art by Michael Mark, co-created with Ed Brubaker
Quite possibly my favourite two pages in comics. One of the most successful portrayals of the complex intersection between race and queerness.
gotham central vol. 1
I'm reading Gotham Central at the moment, and when I got to this page, I proper laughed out loud
Like one day over breakfast Ed very casually says "I'm pretty sure I loved you first" and Oswald is just like "???? Are you kidding me?! I sent you a sweater and biscuits while you were in Arkham! I obviously loved you first!". Ed just responds "Au contraire, I played you the song your mother sang you when you were a child and let you stay in my apartment. Loved you longer, ha!". This continues to escalate until eventually, to hear Ed tell it, he loved Oswald from them moment they first clapped eyes on each other at the GCPD. Oswald pretends to be exasperated by this argument - because, come on, he obviously loved Ed longer - but secretly loves it. Both Ed and Oswald love the idea that anyone has loved them for that long.

It's impossible not to love Renee and Daria's relationship in Gotham Central. They're this cute couple that faces and endures the worse Gotham has to give. And that's a lot.

The ongoing release of formerly secret U.S. government documents by WikiLeaks has hit home with me on multiple fronts: as a former military intelligence operative, a former investigative reporter and -- for the past 28 years -- as a crisis management PR professional. In early 1973, while deployed as a young (22-year-old) military policeman in Stuttgart, Germany, a strange series of events led to my being co-opted to work undercover against a front group for the infamous Baader Meinhof Gang. That gang was believed to have been behind bombings at military bases and its front group was actively engaged in recruiting disaffected GI's to commit acts of treason against the military. They thought I was such a disaffected GI and, working with my handlers from the 66th Military Intelligence Group, I was quite successful in my mission -- until my cover was blown. It was blown by a military signals officer who, knowing only that there was a code-named American (me) regularly going from Stuttgart to the seemingly innocuous front group's offices in Heidelberg, thought that "oh, gosh, we're spying on a legitimate civilian organization and on GI's who just want to talk to them, that's wrong" and leaked the information to the front group. Since I was the only guy coming from Stuttgart, they knew who it was, and if my fast-acting handlers from the 66th MI hadn't intercepted me at the train station, I would have been heading into a trap. Even so, there were threats on my life. My wife and infant son were evacuated from Germany ahead of me, and I remained in an armed environment until my departure for formal military intelligence training. Thereafter, while working for the US Army Intelligence Agency, I became aware of dozens of Iranian military officers killed after the overthrow of the Shah because they had agreed to be sources for the Agency -- and that information was leaked because the security officer at the US Embassy in Tehran hadn't destroyed secret documents when the Embassy was overthrown. I also remember our frustration in MI when information we saw labeled as SECRET appeared on the front pages of the Washington Post so, transitioning to civilian life in 1977, one of the first articles I worked on for my boss, investigative reporter/columnist Jack Anderson, was about the systemic failure of my former employer to account for hundreds of secret documents in audit after audit. My goal in doing so was to urge a much higher level of security and accountability in military intelligence; apparently, more than 30 years later, that level still hasn't been achieved. As a crisis management professional, I have helped many clients deal with information leaks by well-meaning whistleblowers, by vengeful ex-employees, and even by Internet extortionists. With the exception of whistleblowers that, at one time, had legitimate access to confidential information, the leaks occurred because of inadequate security. The amount of damage incurred depended both on the nature of the information and on the organization's ability to rapidly engage in damage control. At this juncture, I remain disgusted by the irresponsibility of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, because I have little doubt that innocent people have died and more are yet to die as a result of his actions, simply because they were being helpful to the United States. Others will have their careers and/or lives ruined in different ways. Do I think that our government should engage in a higher level of transparency? Absolutely. But not ever at the expense of lives. At the same time, I am also dismayed that it was possible for so many documents to be compromised. I am guessing that those responsible for internal security at the affected agencies will lose their jobs -- but their replacements will do no better if they don't get support, at the highest level, for security changes that will, no doubt, be expensive. Finally, I am not surprised, but saddened, that so many organizations worldwide continue to underestimate their vulnerability to information leaks that can have massive negative impact on their reputation, bottom line and ability to carry out their mission. Leaks that typically occur for one of more of these reasons:
- Failure to understand that information security is everyone's responsibility, not just an IT or HR matter, and should be practiced at the office, at home, at a restaurant, at an airport, etc. I have heard astoundingly confidential information being discussed at airports by executives using their Bluetooth device as if it surrounded them with a sound-deadening bubble.
Déjà vu, for me. But if governmental and private organizations react appropriately, there doesn't have to be déjà vu all over again.

Anderson, Goeree and Ramer (1997) observe that although the Uniform consumer density is almost universally assumed in Hotelling style location games, it is more realistic to assume non-uniform distributions. Using Anderson et al.'s (1997) sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique pure strategy equilibrium, we extend the list of known distributions with characterised equilibria from two (Uniform and Triangular) to seven. Our extension includes the Normal and Logistic distributions which are commonly used in empirical research. We also analyse the effects of density choice on equilibrium outcomes. Holding the mean and dispersion of consumer tastes constant, we find that the Uniform distribution inflates differentiation effects.
Keywords: Hotelling; logconcave; location duopoly; spatial competition; distribution

There is so much to do!' 'Read the walls and go to as many academic and social events as you can manage. They are as important as going to classes and studying.' 'Make the most of meeting with the academic staff here and learning from them - try to see the faculty as often as you can.' You will get as much from LSE as you put in Make the most of challenges/opportunities LSE offers Most importantly, enjoy yourself!

Ford automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of reliability when driving their Escape around town. Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Escape. Make no mistake, you bought your Escape because you wanted to buy horsepower and value both impeccably combined into one automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. That would surely not be a pleasurable experience for Ford Escape owners, and it would also mean that automobiles wouldn't need any tie rods. The tie rod ends on your vehicle connect the center link or the steering rack to the spindles, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Ford Escape tie rod means your vehicle would lack the capabilities to maneuver in an emergency.
Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the correct Ford Escape part for your project or repair. When your Ford requires a top quality replacement Tie Rod, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. All the Ford Escape Tie Rod parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001.

These women's soft-feel waterproof walking pants are designed to worn all day. Ideal for walking in changeable conditions and frequent showers.
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.
Rather than pack seperate overtrousers for wet conditions, these walking trousers are waterproof, breathable and soft enough to be worn as normal walking pants. Great for wet walks in colder conditions.

When this reprise of Peter Cook's 1960s satirical club debuted in 2012 it was an underwhelming affair. George Galloway and comedian Terry Alderton topped and tailed the bill that night. They do so again today, but luckily the parallels end there.
Since then the club, backed by Victor Lewis Smith, Keith Allen and Mike O'Brien of Laughing Stock records, has transferred from a Ronnie Scott's soirée to a more intimate afternoon slot in the basement of Bentley's and has stripped back the number of acts.
More crucially the venture has scored the palpable experimental hit they have been looking for. They did it by pairing up Glaswegian-Jewish comedy legend Jerry Sadowitz and "pope of aetheists" Richard Dawkins for a 20 minute q&a.
Initially adopting a Peter Cook persona, Sadowitz introduced Dawkins as Stephen Hawking and then proceeded to 'roast' his 'co-star' with such pressing questions as: "Did god create the holocaust to prove to the Jews he didn't exist?", "Evolution...but how do you explain Dundonians?" and "Why do Springboks jump?"
Anyone who had a sweepstake on how long it would take before Dawkins would become irritated was disappointed. He was pretty game, even when Sadowitz suggested that scientists merely provided "false answers for problems that don't exist".Reuse content


text: An interesting analysis by Ed Crane of the Cato Institute: "Expansive government is always going to be a project of those who would subject individuals to collective, national goals. The founders were well aware of this danger, which is why they gave us a constitution of enumerated — and therefore limited — powers. As Thomas Jefferson put it: "I consider the foundations of the constitution as laid on this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the US, by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people'. To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power no longer susceptible of any definitions." Mrs. Clinton looks in danger of following the fateful path of the neocons, with her aim to take possession of that boundless field." - rest at www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8495

ACES in WASHINGTON & Mental, Physical, Behavioral Health
WHAT ARE THE ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACEs)? 1.Child physical abuse 2.Child sexual abuse 3.Child emotional abuse 4.Neglect 5.Mentally ill, depressed or suicidal person in the home 6.Drug addicted or alcoholic family member 7.Witnessing domestic violence against the mother 8.Loss of a parent to death or abandonment, including abandonment by divorce 9.Incarceration of any family member
COUNTING ACEs The ACE Score is the number of categories of adverse childhood experience to which a person was exposed. The ACE Study found that the number of categories, not necessarily the frequency or severity of the experiences within a category, determine health outcomes across the population as a whole.
Alcoholism & alcohol abuse Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease & ischemic heart disease Depression Fetal death High risk sexual activity Illicit drug use Intimate partner violence Liver disease Obesity Sexually transmitted disease Smoking Suicide attempts Unintended pregnancy Early Death The higher the ACE Score, the greater the incidence of co-occurring conditions from this list. LIFE LONG PHYSICAL, MENTAL & BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES
ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE DRAFT DO ACES CAUSE PROBLEMS? YES – Findings Meet All 9 Criteria A STRONG ASSOCIATION between the causative agent and the outcome CONSISTENCY of findings across research sites and methods SPECIFICITY "The ACE Score is associated with numerous outcomes, so specificity is lacking, but this in no way detracts from the argument of causation. ACEs would be expected to be associated with multiple outcomes because of their effects on a variety of brain structures and functions; and this is found to be true." Anda, 2009 TEMPORAL SEQUENCE – ACEs occur before associated mental, physical, behavioral disorders BIOLOGICAL GRADIENT - The "dose-response" relationship between the number of ACEs and each of the outcomes (as well as the number of resulting health problems) is strong and graded." Anda, 2009 BIOLOGICAL PLAUSIBILITY - strength of the convergence between epidemiology and neurobiology is most evident COHERENCE - The cause and effect interpretation for an association does not conflict with what is known about the natural history and biology of the disease) ANALOGOUS EVIDENCE - We all know the analogy for exposure causing multiple outcomes: smoking causes cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, lung disease, and more. EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE - For ethical reasons randomized experiments depend on animal studies: Evidence in rodents & primates show that stressful exposures induce neurologic differences, aggression, drug seeking

ACEs in WASHINGTON Population Average
ACEs in WASHINGTON PREVIEW OF BRFSS-ACE FINDINGS ACEs are common in Washington 1.17% of adults report physical abuse during childhood 2.17% of women and 7% of men report sexual abuse during childhood 3.One in four adults report parental separation or divorce during childhood 4.A third of adults grew up with substance abuse in the household 5.62% of adults have at least one ACE
ACEs in WASHINGTON One in four adults report three or more ACEs 5% of adults have six or more ACEs ACES ADD UP—MORE IS WORSE (As captured by the ACE Score)
ACEs in WASHINGTON ACES TEND TO CO-OCCUR / CLUSTER In the lives of Washingtonians Among adults exposed to physical abuse, 84% reported at least 2 additional ACEs Among adults exposed to sexual abuse, 72% reported at least 2 additional ACEs
ACEs in WASHINGTON Compared to adults without exposure to ACEs, the risk of smoking – a risk factor for many chronic diseases – was increased: 1.2 times for those with 1 ACE, * 1.5 times with 2 ACEs, * 1.9 times with 3 ACEs, * 2.8 times with 4 or 5 ACEs, * 4.6 times with 6 or more ACEs AS THE ACE SCORE INCREASES RISK OF NUMEROUS HEALTH & SOCIAL PROBLEMS INCREASE DRAMATICALLY SMOKING

ACEs in WASHINGTON Consistent with Earlier FPC Research, Community Capacity Matters
ACEs in WASHINGTON
"The Washington ACE data call for integrated approaches to prevent ACEs, and intervene early on children growing up being abused, neglected, witnessing domestic violence, or with substance abusing, mentally ill, or criminal household members. All of these childhood stressors are interrelated and usually co-occur. Prevention and treatment of one ACE frequently can mean that similar efforts are needed to treat multiple persons in affected households and other social systems. Better identification and treatment of the effects of ACEs among persons and systems interacting with children is necessary to minimize the impact of their intergenerational transmission."

Did she say she was out? Because it looks like she's back in, at least in a very special guest star kind of way.
Camille Grammer announced in March her departure from Bravo's hit "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" but she is in fact shooting scenes for the upcoming third season.
Grammer filmed an appearance at costar Kyle Richards' birthday party this past weekend, and there's more to come for Kelsey Grammer's ex.
So while it's true that Camille won't be a "Housewives" regular any more, E! reports that Camille will be making multiple cameo appearances next season.
It was initially reported that Grammer made the decision to leave the show (to, ahem, protect her private life), but she then later blamed producers, saying, "I guess we couldn't come to an agreement." She added, "I think I would have done it, definitely."
Looks like Camille just wasn't ready to let go of the juicy moments, like the one below, in which the "Housewives" tsk tsk tacky talk from a new cast member for bragging about her wealth.

278). This has resulted to high level of advertising as companies are trying to segment and position their products in the minds of the target customers. Currently, there are new methods of advertising such as use of audio media e.g. radio, print media e.g. magazines and newspaper, internet etc (Schultz et al., 1992, p. 15). Social media such as Facebook and YouTube are the most recent advertising channel. Nevertheless, advertising requires a high level of competence in order for the advert to have an impact on consumer behavior (Murray, 1973, p. 156). In order to impact on the consumption behavior of the market, the management has to come up with appropriate strategies that will take care of customer interests and desires an aspect that will convince target consumers to shift towards the product. The drafting of the message to be used, selecting the budget, media to be used in spreading the message and the actual advertising plays a crucial role in determining peoples response towards the message. All these factors should, therefore, be taken care of in order to ensure that message has an impact on the target consumer (Armstrong & Kotler, 2011, p. 167). The use of visual ads or pictures has increased over the last few decades. ...

The mummified body of German adventurer Manfred Fritz Bajorat was found by two fisherman early March just 50 miles off of the Philippines.
And now a note has been found lying beside the tragic captain, 59, revealing his final thoughts to his wife Claudia.
"Thirty years we're been together on the same path. Then the power of the demons was stronger than the will to live.
"You're gone. May your soul find its peace. Your Manfred."
He was married to a woman known as Claudia, who he broke with to go on his travels. She died of cancer in 2010.
Inside the cabin, fishermen found photo albums, and tins of food strewn all over the deck.

Recent reviews
Good 3.9 /5 from 304 reviews
Good if you like old classic hotels. Its a very old building.....
Stayed for a weekend and loved the location, ease of parking and entry, friendliness of staff and especially the old art deco look and 20's feel of the property. It's an old hotel but maintained very well. I love a firm mattress, but the one in our room was a bit too firm causing restless nights, and if you plan to stay here, see if you can get a room in sections 1 or 2. The only reason I suggest this is because their café is very popular and busy in the morning rendering sections 3 and 4 to be a little noisy.
Housekeeping here is lacking terribly. The property is an old, quaint hotel, I live the period features of the actual building, but the rooms need updating. If you stay here in the summer, be prepared to sweat...no A/C. The front desk staff are all very friendly and welcoming. They made a 2 star stay bearable.
The hotel was very charming and the service was great. Only stayed one night but the kitchenette would have been great for a longer stay. It was about a mile walk to nearby bars and restaurants.
Very personable desk staff at check-in. We appreciated the shuttle service to the BMO Harris Center.

After being praised as one of the top riders in the 1990s, Penny has been MIA for much of the new millennium, with no one being able to pinpoint the exact cause behind his disappearance. Irreverent now, Penny is back on the scene with the same joyous attitude and hopefully more work to come as the title of the video implies.

or perhaps a beginning
The feeling of an end or as the optimists might say a new beginning
Who knew a new beginning could be so painful?
Who knew it could leave you on the kitchen floor at night curled up on one side trying to let the pain pass with no success
Who knew?
Sometimes staring out the dark widow into the vast darkness seeing nothing yet seeing everything.
We were also ounce stars.
Bright and comforting but we too have fallen.
Fallen as dark angels on a dark night.
Left on the earth to shrivel and turn into aches.
We too where once upon a millennium beautiful creature of the night.
Now where slowly turning into aches.
Ready to burn
Ready to end
There is no better time than the end or as the optimists would say the beginning.
But I'm not optimistic so I'll tell you.
This is our end.
This was our world century's ago but now we end.
Right here
Right now
We've become strangers on a strange road.
A road not meant for us….
A broken road that leads to our beautiful end
