The negotiations, before Thursday's final deadline for a global settlement, will decide whether pension funds representing 20,000 Maxwell pensioners will receive up to £300m in compensation from a series of international financial institutions, or be forced to take expensive and lengthy legal action.
The stakes are high. The institutions, such as Lehmans, face claims of over £80m while the auditors of the Maxwell companies, Coopers & Lybrand, face claims for negligence totalling £305m.
If the final talks are successful, four years of uncertainty for the pensioners will be nearly over. Pension trustees need £300m from City institutions involved in the saga to replace funds looted by the late Robert Maxwell, but so far have been offered significantly less. Some sources put the institutions' offer as low as £230m.
If the talks fail there is a real possibility that the trustees of the Maxwell pension funds, acting on behalf of the pensioners, will be forced to sue the institutions holding disputed pension fund assets, adding further years of uncertainty, with no guarantee that they will win.
There is much enthusiasm for an out-of-court settlement involving all the biggest claims - and not just from the pensioners. If Sir John Cuckney decides that the possibility for a once-and-all global settlement is not there, the institutions will face further years of bad publicity arising from the Maxwell scandal. This will be made worse if they are sued by the pension trustees, as is likely in the event of a breakdown of the talks.
Institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and BNP, stand to gain much if the settlement talks can continue.
There were widespread fears before Christmas that the talks would collapse altogether, leading to a litigation meltdown. The then leader of the global settlement talks, former judge Sir Peter Webster, decided to step down after one of the parties droppedout of the discussions. Sir Peter had always said he would give up his role if any of the parties left. Sir John Cuckney, who has worked alongside Sir Peter in an attempt to sort out the Maxwell mess behind the scenes, then took up the reins.
He set a new urgency, despite cycnics pointing out that deadlines in the 18-month-old talks had come and gone - the earliest passing nearly a year ago in Easter 1994. But 9 February is now commonly agreed as a make-or-break moment.
The claims are complex because of the cat's cradle structure of Robert Maxwell's business empire, which consisted of more than 800 companies worldwide. The liquidator of the main Maxwell-controlled pension fund, Bishopsgate Investment Management (BIM), is pursuing over £440m looted from the funds, and still has a number of big claims that could be settled by the current talks.
These include a £305m claim for negligence against Coopers for the 1988 and 1989 audits of the Maxwell Central Investment Fund, and the 1988-1990 audits of BIM.
The liquidator of BIM, Neil Cooper of Robson Rhodes, also has claims for over £80m against Lehman and £26m against Credit Suisse for stock "lent" by Maxwell from pension funds.
A problem overshadowing the talks is the possibility that the Department of Social Security will demand the repayment of £115m of pensions contributions which it has made to Maxwell pension funds since the discovery of the missing assets.

My Place
In retrospect, this is pretty simple. Think of the place that brings you to inner peace (real or imaginary, I could care less). Once in mind, describe this place as thoroughly as possible. Oh, and have fun with it! :)
I can feel the sand in between my toes as soft as velvet and as warm as a blanket on a spring night. The gentle sound of waves is like a majestic melody that follows a constant, slow, and overwhelming tempo. The wind gentle caresses my face and ruffles my hair as it flows ever on to distant lands that I may never live to see. I feel the comforting heat of the setting sun of my chest. Lastly, I feel the interlocking of her soft fingers in mine telling me that I will always be happy as long as they are there with me. I take all this in and find myself with not a care left in the world but simple joy and carelessness replacing any rage that once resided inside of me. I feel... Home.


text: I am beginning to believe that we are all born asleep and that the rest of our lives are spent trying to awaken. Some of us may be born awake. Some awaken in stages, falling back into slumber between moments of absolute lucidity. While some remain comfortably dozing all their lives. Should we even want to be awakened? Or should we remain comfortably snoozing and not even bother asking why? I don't know the answer to that. Nor do I know if we have a choice in the matter. What I do suspect is that some of the answers might be found within something called intuition. The reason I bring up intuition is that from an early age I gravitated to whatever mysteriously resonated for me. Creating things, playing with sound, doodling, etc. Always compelled to make something that wasn't there before, or giving in to a simple creative yearning. The further I explored in distance and or detail, the more I discovered how utterly enchanting our shared universe is. From every difference in color, texture, and line, I began to understand more fully the infinite possibilities of form. Skip Hunt picked up a 35mm camera in the mid-1970's and has never stopped sharing his unique vision via photographic images. His insatiable thirst for rich color and cultural exploration keeps him on the road most of the time. When he's recharging his batteries, he calls Austin, Texas home. "Image making reminds me to awaken from the slumber and to celebrate life's rich pageantry parading all around us."

Life Lines
As avid readers of our Calendar section know (hi, Mom!), we are suckers for puppetry and have a morbid fascination with the macabre. Combine the two, as Old Trout Puppet Workshop's touring show Famous Puppet Death Scenes does, and we're completely sold. Famous Puppet Death Scene s is exactly what it sounds like: a collection of famous death scenes from puppet shows throughout history (which would be . . . uh . . . Pinocchio's asphyxiation from choking on a sandwich?). The show promises to bring a little absurdity to one of the more unpleasant realities of existence and remind us that the end comes to even the most ridiculous among us. Do you hear us, Carson Daly?

Welcome to LA6VJA
Welcome to the homepage of Norwegian Amateur Radio Station LA6VJA. If you are looking for information regarding the JW6VJA activations, please follow the link on the menu above. Anyway, feel free to have a look around.
I live in a country known for its natural beauty, fisheries, oil/gas production and social welfare system. My home QTH is in Moss/JO59HK, which is located in the south-eastern part of the country. The captial city of Oslo is only some 60 km to the north, easily within range by train (when they run).
For those of you who don't know much about Norway, it's a small country in northern Europe, home to some 4.6 million more or less happy Norwegians. Furher information is available in the CIA World Factbook. Although common belief among non-Norwegians is that Norway has winter all year, the summer is often quite nice. Even warm enough for sunflowers to grow. I used to maintain the Win-EQF* logging program for a while, but that project is now QRT.
My QTH is on Jeløy island, WLOTA LH-3174. Within visual sight of ARLHS NOR-302 and ARLHS NOR-389.
The shack currently includes an Icom IC-7600, an IC-7300 and an IC-7000. A Yaesu FT-950 is located at the mountain QTH at approx. 950m ASL.
An Elecraft KX3 was added to the collection in 2013, as I learned to like the radio a lot when I received a tour of the Elecraft facilities in CA, USA, during the spring of 2012. Running Begali, Bencher and Palm Radio paddles and LogiKey keyers.
Kenwood's TS-690SAT, TS-590 and TS-50, Yaesu's FT-817ND as well as Icom's IC-7400, IC-756ProIII and IC-706MKIIG have also secured several QSOs in the log since 1995 but have all been traded in for more capable models. QRV on D-STAR with the Icom IC-E2820/ID-800 and the ID-51. QRV on VHF/UHF for /P operation with the Yaesu VX-3, VX-6 and VX-7 HTs. The Butternut HF9V serves me well both at my home QTH and at the weekend QTH.
You will find me on CW and digital modes on the HF bands. Sometimes I am also cleaning away the dust from the microphone, but I am more than happy to leave the "hola hooola" SSB operation to south European stations.
Memberships are currently held in the NRRL, the ARRL as well as clubs LA9K and LA3F.
I am employed as an airline pilot, flying the DHC8-300/-Q400 series for a Norwegian airline. Though I have previously flown the B737-300/-500 for an airline within the SAS Group, flying the DHC8 gives me the opportunity to work closer to my home QTH and spend more time off duty. Unfortunately, the DHC8 aircraft (all series) were not designed for life-long flying careers (noise, vibrations and airconditioning issues - all which could have been resolved, if only deHavilland/Bombardier had cared about the people flying these things and not just the $). I hold an M.Sc. degree in computer science and an MBA - and I run a small consulting business when I am not flying, programming or calling CQ. From time to time I also exercise the privileges as a flight examiner, which I have been granted by the Norwegian CAA.

Joy And Valerie
The 125 Collection
Joy And Valerie's story
Joy Fennell I was born in Virginia and then moved to Georgia to live with my grandparents after my parents divorced. After living with them until I was 13, I then went to live with my mother in Landover, Md. After finishing college at the University of Maryland, I made my way to NYC in 2005 and have been here every since. I settled on Harlem as my permanent residence and love it! I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I decided to take a chance and take the semester off in college to pursue a career in makeup and move to NYC. Since then, my name/work has been featured in some of the biggest magazines and it's all because of the chance that I took some years back. My dreams for the future are to see a world filled with happiness, love and most of all compassion and I want to contribute to this dream through my actions, my work, and my business. Valerie Wray I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and later moved to Louisville, KY with my mom and sisters after my parents divorced. Being the middle child, I had a sense of comfort from having 2 siblings very close to me in age so individuality was extremely important to me. After college, I moved to New York to pursue my masters at Columbia University. After grad school, I worked in the corporate world yet always found myself creating small businesses to produce additional income streams. I often referred to these businesses as my "creative outlets" until one day my desire for doing what I loved superseded my desire to work a "stable 9 to 5". I decided to put more time and money into my passion and left the corporate world to take a full-time job that allows me the flexibility I need to grow my business. My dreams are to continue growing The 125 Collection, give back to the people and communities that helped me and to travel the world and live life to the absolute fullest.

More about this loan
Business Description
Joy and Valerie met 7 years ago through a mutual friend in NYC. With common backgrounds in the fashion and beauty industries, we remained friends over the years and created a growing lifestyle brand that fuses fun, style and individuality into everyday life. Our first line of products to debut were our pure soy "Quote candles" in November 2015.
We decided to start the business while chatting over ice cream in a park in Harlem. We both absolutely love candles, home décor and things that are stylish so we put our passion and creatively into The 125 Collection. We burn candles all the time so we wanted to create a line where people have the ability to show their individuality in a stylish way while enjoying the fragrance of a non toxic candle. Our customers are people who love self expression and likes to reflect it in the accessories and home decor they choose. We started our business by hand selecting candles scents and getting them hand poured in small batches. From there, we started selling in a pop up market in Brooklyn (and are still there) which helped us create an online store www.the125collection.com.
What is the purpose of this loan?
There are a number of things that we would be able to use this Kiva loan for. First, product improvement, production, and inventory. We would like to use a different manufacturer to help improve our product and keep it consistent as well as drive the production cost down; however, this manufacturer requires minimums that are higher than what we typically produce. Lower production cost will not only keep our product at a competitive price but will also yield a great profit margin. Secondly, we will do a complete overhaul of our website. We will be able to get professional pictures taken and that will allow our site to look more appealing to consumers and also allow us to create an additional platform on the site for collecting wholesale orders for our vendors. A $10,000 loan will help start these improvements right away.

You bought your Squire because its dependability and American engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? Car aficionados appreciate the good looks built into each Ford, and know that only the best repair Squire parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. When your Ford Squire left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes long-lasting quality in their automobile. Ford car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of dependability when driving their Squire around town.
It's hard to imagine how poorly our engines would perform without being constantly lubricated. It was early in the 20th century when the oil filter was first imagined, and your Ford Squire engine still uses the technology that is derived from this early invention. Your Ford Squire oil filter traps the dirt and metal shavings generated by the engine as oil flows through it so it remains clean. If you didn't have an oil filter, the engine oil would turn to sludge and not lubricate your engine anymore.
Don't let a broken Oil Filter bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Buying new Ford parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Squire parts on the internet. When your Ford needs a top quality replacement Oil Filter, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. When it comes to Ford Squire Oil Filter parts, you can find them for 1959 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

By FRANCO PANIZO
If you're anxiously awaiting to know who will be representing the U.S. men's national team in the Gold Cup, your wait will soon be over.
Head coach Bob Bradley will reveal his 23-man roster for the Gold Cup on May 23, U.S. Soccer announced via its Twitter on Thursday. The announcement will be made on ussoccer.com.
Bradley recently touched on the roster selection, saying that a large portion of the team would be made up of players who took part in last summer's World Cup. Bradley also said that the Gold Cup will provide an opportunity to continue to incorporate younger talents, such as Juan Agudelo and Timmy Chandler.
Here are more stories from Thursday:
Union-Madrid friendly made official
The Philelphia Union's rumored match against Real Madrid is no longer a rumor. The game was made official and is scheduled to take place on July 23 at Lincoln Financial Field at 9pm ET. The match is part of the 2011 Herbalife World Football Challenge.
Keen wants Hammers job permanently
West Ham United interim manager Kevin Keen is hoping to lock up the Hammers' job on a permanent basis. Keen will be in charge of the club for its season finale against Sunderland this weekend, and he's hoping he can fill in for Avram Grant on a full-time basis after the latter was fired following last Sunday's defeat to Wigan Athletic, which relegated the club to the Championship.
Madrid close in on Altintop
Real Madrid is closing in on the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Hamit Altintop. The Turkish international has only played 63 matches for Bayern during his four-year stay at the club, but he looks poised to join Madrid on a free transfer.
Who do you expect to see on the Gold Cup roster? Planning on attending the Union-Madrid match? Think Keen can get West Ham back to the Premiership?
Share your thoughts below.
I know he won't play much, if at all, but please have Diskerud on this roster.
I think this tournament may be make or break for Bradley. The USMNT has won only one of its last eight matches. I know there was some tough competition and a couple of experimental rosters in there, but that's not a good record when you consider six of those were on American soil.
Winning the Gold Cup is a requirement at this point.
Ok… here's what I'm thinking.
GK (3) – Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Marcus H.
DEF (8) – Boca, Gooch, Cherundolo, Demerit, Chandler, Spector, Lichaj, Ream
MID (8) – Landon, Deuce, Edu, Bradley, Jones, Feilhaber, Bedoya, Diskerud
FWD (4) – Jozy, Agudelo, Bunbury, Buddle, Taylor (kidding)
Where's Ochocinco going to play? He's not doing anything this summer, and it will help him keep in shape during the lockout (if he's not too busy bull-riding.)
Sergio Hernandez
I don't think this is a make or break tournament for Bradley. But the US is expected to win. I wouldn't put much stock into those friendlies. I think they showed well in all their friendlies. Even the ones with younger squads.
Ocho is going to be the new U-20 coach.
This is it for Bradley.
If we don't win the Gold Cup, which is probably a 50/50 shot, he will be fired.
Sunil Gulati will go all Steinbrenner on him and fire him, rehire him, and fire him again.
Oranje Mike
May 23? Post Rapture, eh?
Agudelo doesn't even start for FC energy drink. Since when has not starting in MLS made you Nats material? He should just stick with the U-20s this summer for their WC… oh wait….
Agudelo doesn't start because Thierry Henry plays in front of him and Backe has made it clear that he wants to bring Agudelo along slowly underneath the wing of Henry.
Also, I'm sure it has a ton to do with keeping him off the international transfer radar.
The one thing it has nothing to do with is his skill.
Ryan in NYC
how seriously will Freddy be considered?
Guzan won't be available for this summer Gold Cup, because he is getting marry.
I was a long time Freddy supporter, then I kind of gave up on him last year. What he's doing in Turkey now though, I applaud. Don't care if it's 2nd division, he's in a foreign country, difficult circumstances, and if he helps get his team promoted, that would be an achievement. That being said, I think he needs to not only get his team promoted, but then have a couple of good showings/goals in the Turkish superliga before I would call him up. Fast forward 6months from now, and Freddy has 3-5 goals and is pulling a full 90 week in week out in the Turkish 1st division, then I think he should not only get called in, but then should start.
I think the expections would be to make the final but Mexico is winning this one. This is probably's Mexico's best generation of players since 86.
if he's not going to play, why would we bring him? He's a young player and if hes going ot be the 23rd choice, I'd rater him stay with his club and get some minutes.
Cracka please. Their goalkeepers are average at best as always and their midfield isn't exactly the most impressive bunch. Only players we need to worry about are Chicharito and Gio.
Monday seems so far away.
You are completely wrong. It would take not advancing out of Group C in Gold Cup for Gulati to even consider letting Bradley go.
do not know enough about international soccer one way or the other to determine whether Bob Bradley is the best choice as our coach.But I do not like him at all. His interviews are a mixture of mumbles and babble. His intrigue and skullduggery over releasing the rosters is getting tiresome. If we were top 5 somebody might care. Coach release the roster 2 or 3 weeks ahead of the game like everybody else does. You are wasting our time and more importantly your time over nothing. Finally the guy who represents all of America dresses like a dork. I do not know if he is a dork but I am embarrassed as an American every time I see him in the sweat suit at an international game or see him mumbling through some interview.
Red White & Blue Porker
Never under why he doesn't where a suit, its not like he's going to play. It would be like me being a manager at a factory and dressing like janitor. Bradley have some respect for the county you represent.
Sergio Hernandez
He wasn't starting before he got his first cap either.
Josh D
Agudelo comes, whether he starts is up to how he does against Spain. He may be better off as a super sub..
Josh D
I tried asking in the Q&A section multiple times: What does Bradley have to do to get fired?
He didn't light up the WC. Since then we've won once. If we bomb out of the Gold Cup or make it to the first round, can we really expect to do better next WC compared to last?
On any other national team, Bradley would be feeling heat. But people here keep saying "let's see." Well the WC comes every 4 years, "let's see" is a free ride for 4 years when we have a very good generation of players, arguably the best if things keep progressing the same.
1 Hour 50 Minutes
IT IS!! He has failed to find consistency and has been bringing in some of the same players who aren't consistent. The same habits remain 8/10 times this team goes down first and likely within the first 25 minutes of the game, Bradley hasn't fixed that problem, and hadn't it been for a poor WC last year by other national teams, we would'nt even made it past the group stages.
Blinking Cop Car
Bradley is dumb, and I'd rather have Caleb Porter as coach than a highschool gym teacher/ little league coach, where everyone gets to play! No, no Bradley that's not how it works, play the players who produce, and your son isn't playing a dime in the PL, he should surely be fired, but with a terrori.. I mean Gualti(economics Professor, what a joke!) running as president he'll keep em even if we go winless for the whole year!!!
It seems to me the USSF has made it very clear the Gold Cup is priority one. No one there is worried about how the US has looked since the World Cup becuase it was designed to prep the team for the Gold Cup.
As for what it would take to fire Bradley, it would take having a better alternative available.
Very clearly, Sunil wanted JK in after the World Cup and had it all set up but Sunil is only one vote of the 15 required for that decision and it seems he didn't line up all his ducks in a row before he went public with JK so he got humiliated. Sunil does not run the USSF he is just the President.
For whatever reason the majority of the other 14 votes were not for JK so the US still has BB.
Whether that was because they love BB or they didn't want JK who knows?
Have you seen Agudelo play for the US?
Who cares what he does for the Red Bull if he performs well for the US?
So your evaluation of whether the man is a good manager for a soccer team is based on his fashion choices, how much information he releases to the media and how well he speaks with the media.
How about Ryan Seacrest for USMNT manager?
John Harvey
That's A LOT to worry about. If the US had a player like 'Chicharito' I would have called it game,set match. Plus Gio is back in form. But giving you the benefit of the doubt and since I have seen other people post this info, and correct me if I'm wrong, he US has NEVER beaten Mexico with Ochoa on goal, and if he regains form and becomes the keeper that both Parreira and Bielsa called the best in the Americas, than he is way beyond average. A midfield of Guardado, Barrera, Elias Hernandez and little teeny 'Hobbit' Bermudez will feed enough balls up front to keep'em busy!
If De la Torre can get this team to gel they will be amazing to watch, and if I were Bob Bradley I would be equally as worried about Costa Rica! That La Volpe dude is mighty sneaky!
Jerad Gomez
Hey Neg….. Few changes to your Roster:
Your choice's for GK's look good.
Defense: Boca,Ream,Goodson,Chandler(Subs would be
Demerit,Spector,Lichaj,Gooch). Although we have not seen this unit together, this is the unit we should be grooming. Both center backs are strong and can play the ball out of the back. I would imagine that Lichaj could play left back if needed.
Midfield: Landon,Feilhaber,Edu,Bradley (Subs would be Jones,Bedoya,Diskerud,Torres.)Edu,Bradley,Jones ….. makes no difference which start cause all 3 are the same type of player. Thats why I would start Feilhaber along with Donovan for some creativity. Plus you have Diskerud and Torres off the bench for more spark if needed. PLEASE HURRY BACK HOLDEN!!!!!!!!!
Forwards: Dempsy, Agudelo. (Subs would be Bunbury, and Jozy.) Demps and Agudelo offer an unique mix of toughness,pace,creativity, and workrate. Team those two up with Feilhaber,Donovan,and Chandler attacking out of the back and PRAY that Bradley, Edu, or Jones can provide some ounce of offensive creativity, we might do ok.
How many times have we played Mexico when they had Ochoa in goal? Only a couple times? I think you and a lot of people are putting way too much in that stat.
The only times I recall facing him are the 2009 Gold Cup Final and in the 2009 World Cup Qualifier at the Azteca. In the '09 Final they beat Holden, Goodson and a bunch of MLS/Scandinavian scrubs, while they had players like Ochoa, Gio, Torrado, Vela, Castro and Juarez.
And of course they beat us at home in Mexico City, which is something every starting Mexico national team goalkeeper has been able to do except for the one that started against Steve Sampson's crew in 1997.
Other than that all I can recall is maybe playing him in a friendly in 2007 and 2008, which ended in draws. But I can't remember if it was Sanchez or Ochoa who played in those games.
I'm I the only one who thinks Cooper is ready for another shot?
Mark E.
It was Ochoa on a 2-2 draw I think.
Jerad Gomez
I have always liked his game…..when he is on. When he is off…. it like we are playing a man down

Ann North is a busty blonde chubby slut who really gets off on being a tease. Packing those sexy curves away behind bulky sweaters all day makes this blonde sweetie very horny. Her day job doesn't let her dress sexy so as soon as she is home, off come the staid clothes and out pops the cum hungry slut that she truly is!
Allie James gets invited to her neighbor's, Kurt's, house for dinner. She's not really impressed by his cooking skills as he only knows how to make packaged ramen. Kurt thinks that maybe she needs to relax before dinner so he starts massaging her shoulders and her thighs. He moves slowly up her thigh until his fingers are in her pussy. With Allie all wet Kurt decides it's time to finish massaging her pussy with his fat dick. He bangs her on his kitchen counter and she swallows his load because, let's face it, it probably tastes better than his ramen.
Missy Martinez is helping her friend out by giving her friend's husband some fashion advice. While undressing him though she notices why her friend married him. His nice fat cock. One accidental grab of his dick and now Missy needs to have it inside her. Her friend's husband is more than happy to oblige her.

Dream Chronicles: Shifters and Dreamers
What would you do if all of your dreams were no longer dreams...
The space around Lera swirled and molocules departed. Then, suddenly, they rushed back together, like sand whipping through a desert. The reformed pixels formed a kind of abstrack painting, unclear, with small squares of moving objects upside down, sideways, and any other ways you could think of. She looked at all the movement, all the unclear motions. Yes, yes she knew what it was. She saw three men in a room. But they were all in different squares. The pixels re-arranged themselves once more. Same picture, only in a different order of placement. Lera squinted.
Finally, the picture came together.
It was the Prime Minister of Serenia, Marco Duvall. He was talking to Arthur Mangoliana, a powerful magician, and Asis Stone. He was the Minister of Elementia, which is the company that helps with any elemental problems with their control over the components. They stood at a large stand with a microphone and watched as swarming audiences filled the room. There was a wave that ripped through the picture, and Lera was immediately inside the picture. She walked to the very front and sat down, observing every single detail. She wanted to remember it all. Marco Duvall began his speech.
"Today... is a new era! An era of success! And an era of change! So many times have our stores been robbed and we never find out who did it. So many time we must struggle to stay safe from the clan of assassins that call themselves: The Assassins of the Secret Mists. What if we set up Sentinels? No. That would just make us seem destructive, and create too many unsafe hazards. The Shapeshifters of the Resistance clan could easily escape their grasp..."
Lera heard a slight noise. She squinted at a cloaked figure that resided and cowered in the dark shadows whithering behind the Prime Minister. It stepped forward. No one seemed to notice it. The figure reached into its pocket and pulled out a cube. The cube was black as night. There was some... purple gossamer swirling on the inside of it. The cloaked person held the cube high into the sky. Still, nobody did anything. Then Lera realized: the figure had cast a Concealment spell over itself. That way, to everyone else, it would blend into the backgrounds.
"NO!" Lera yelled as the figure threw the cube. No one heard her scream. She bolted out of her seat and sprinted to the stage.
"We can now multiply this! The Staff of Gexis!" The Prime Minister held up a long staff. On the end, there was what looked like white, feathered wings twirling and holding a large colour changing jewel.
Lera jumped in front of the cube. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the cube drew nearer. All of the figures around seemed to me just smoke. As the cube hit her, nothing happened. Actually, it passed right through her. The cube hit the mahogany floor and waved. Its purple contents spilled out. There was a wilting darkness that covered the room.
When the light returned, the staff was gone.
So was the Prime Minister...

What's not so obvious is who will start alongside Burnett in the Packers' nickel and dime packages.
All offseason and throughout training camp, M.D. Jennings has lined up with the starters. The job might be his to lose but nothing has been finalized, coach Mike McCarthy and position coach Darren Perry said.
"All spots are wide open," McCarthy said on Monday. "You know what you can do with that depth chart. It takes the full training camp to decide the way your 53-man roster is going to come out."
Jennings struggled during his first big opportunity on Thursday at San Diego, including losing Antonio Gates in coverage on the first touchdown.
"Sometimes you've got to be patient and let the play come to you, and understanding in zone coverage that not every play is your play," Jennings said this weekend. "You've got guys that are outside or inside. You just have to do your job and try not to do someone else's job."
Jennings was absent on Monday for personal reasons. That gave Anthony Levine, who's officially a first-year player but is in his third Packers training camp, his opportunity with the starters. Against San Diego, Levine had two noteworthy plays. He stormed into the backfield to drop the runner for a 1-yard gain on the final play of the first quarter and added an interception on San Diego's first possession of the third quarter.
"I thought he played very well, and I'd like to see him stack the success that he had last week," McCarthy said. "Anthony's been with us for some time and showed a lot of range, a lot of athletic ability and he's doing a nice job."
At 25, Levine is the Packers' oldest safety (other than Woodson). If Woodson and Burnett are locks, Jennings and fourth-round pick Jerron McMillian are the clear front-runners for the next two spots. If the Packers keep another safety, Levine is ahead of undrafted rookies Sean Richardson and Micah Pellerin. Of the seven safeties, Jennings, McMillian, Levine, Richardson and Pellerin have not played a snap on defense in the regular season.
"He's young — they're all young and green as grass," Perry said last week when asked about Levine. "That's why these games are so important for those guys to get out there and show us what they can handle and all of the things that come along, not for half a game or a quarter or two, but to be able to do it with some consistency is so important. That's when a lot of guys fall by the wayside. You see a play here, you see a play there, but then you see something that will get you beat. That's what you're looking for in these exhibition games in terms of guys going out, executing with the proper technique, being disciplined, playing with poise and being productive."

The 84-member Hollywood Foreign Press Association is embroiled in controversy over a slate of new candidates that could result in what one member has described as "an all-out war" among factions, TheWrap.com reported Sunday. The HFPA, the group that hands out the annual Golden Globe awards, has throughout its existence had to fend off criticism that many, if not most, of its members are freelancers who earn their livelihoods in other professions and that they are aable to gain access to stars because of their association with the awards telecast. On Sunday, TheWrap.com's Sharon Waxman reported that the latest wrangle among its members broke out when Patricia Danaher, an Irish freelancer, objected to the proposed membership of another Irish writer, Lesley O'Toole, in a letter to HFPA president Philip Berk. O'Toole, Waxman wrote, is being backed by Berk and "a powerful faction" of the association. Her inclusion, Danaher and some unnamed British writers fear, would boost O'Toole's status and permit her to compete against them for access to the same U.K. newspapers and magazines that they write for. While the dispute over O'Toole may represent what Waxman called "the most public aggression in the conflict," other disputes, she said, have arisen over a total of nine new candidates who are under consideration for membership. The discord, she observed, could boil over at a general membership meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

The mood inside the Redskins locker room following each of their last two defeats has been as somber as at any point of the season. Following the loss two weeks ago to the Minnesota Vikings, dejected and shocked could best describe the players' reactions.
A number of them sat entranced in front of their lockers in disbelief, unable to even bring themselves to undressing.
Sunday night after the loss to the Eagles, there was a mix of frustration, sadness and anger as well, depending on the player.
"The feeling is just frustration, disappointment, sadness. Hell, I was about to cry on the sideline," cornerback DeAngelo Hall said. "I just don't understand where we're falling apart at."
Said tight end Niles Paul: "I've used disappointing quite a few games, but I think this one is more disappointing than any game we've played this year – even more disappointing than the Vikings, because for 30 minutes, you saw the team we were capable of being: we were moving the ball. But we can't wait for the last 30 minutes to get going, especially against a good team like Philly."
Now having dropped to 3-7, the Redskins' slim hopes of a dramatic turnaround and playoff push seem impossible. But despite their disappointments, players declared ongoing allegiance to one another. They insist that the locker room will not splinter.
"There's not going to be any division in our locker room," team captain London Fletcher said. "There's obviously going to be frustration, but we know where we're at. We still have another opportunity next week. It'll be tough on Monday Night Football. But you just have to win games. Play well and let things fall where they may."
Said safety Brandon Meriweather: "I'm still confident. I love the guys I play with. I've said it before: those guys on that back end, and that we sit in meetings together and that we laugh together, I love them guys to death. I see them and I know what everybody's capable of and what I'm capable of, and I feel like we still have a great chance to do what we're supposed to."
Although it appears that the Redskins – now 0-3 and last in the NFC East, and owners of a 1-6 mark in the NFC as a whole – have nothing to play for beyond December, quarterback Robert Griffin III said he doesn't expect any of his teammates to give up.
"We can't get down on ourselves," he said. "We can't look at our record and say there's no chance. All we have is the next week. It's all you have. And I know the guys in there. Like I've said, we'll keep fighting. We'll keep fighting. We'll keep pushing forward. If you can come off of something like this, that adversity only makes you better. It's when you let it break you down – when you let it change who you are, when you let it change your attitude towards the game – that it really can kill your career. … I don't believe the guys will give up."

To the Registrar of Companies (RoC), changing your name is no small matter. As you've already incorporated, you're aware of the rules involved in selecting a name for your company. The same applies for changing your name, too. The procedure is well-defined and to be followed strictly. And just in case you haven't complied with all RoC requirements, you can't go ahead with this until you do.
Procedure for Changing Company Name
You first need the board to pass a resolution selecting the new name of the company. This new name must also be aligned with the guidelines provided by the RoC.
We will ask for a few documents, which will be needed to get the approval from RoC in this regard. Once the RoC approves, your company can switch to the new name.

Forbidden City, Jingshang and Beihai park
... along the shops in smoking pipe street (shaped by a pipe and it used to have pipe shops in it). We then caught the metro down to the Oriental Plaza for our tea.
Afterwards we walked up Wangfujing Street to see the night market. We saw the cooked scorpions and grubs on sticks and I also saw live scorpions wriggling on the sticks. They also had normal meat and fruit on sticks.
We got back to the hotel around 11 pm, time to set the alarm for 5.30 ...
Being a Kid Again
... to tell me at times. Olivia, Anthony, and I were confused about what she was trying to tell us when we told her about how much tea we wanted.
I spent so much money for the tea, but it was for my mother! I knew that I could not come home without getting any Chinese tea for her. The woman of the store actually gave us some free tea and gifts. I could not believe how nice she was and her door was the only one still opened when we finished. She was even kind ...
Qi gong at the temple and a really Great wall.
... making the whole place an explosion of bright colours and adding to already vibrant atmosphere.We arrived at the part of the temple in which the relic was held to find a flowing river of people all walking around the building clockwise. Apparently it was respectful and good luck to do 3 laps and so we joined in too. Being surrounded by monks made it feel a really powerful occasion and although I speak only 2 words of Mandarin it's amazing how a smile ...
Extended Beijing stay and THE GREAT WALL
... br> Some customs are very easy to pick up; table manners (none), traffic rules (hardly any), personal space (not existing), and of course spitting on the street and littering. But it must be a complicated society. The country has been ruled by an emperor for so many centuries and now communistic with a mix of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. All the different ethnic groups. Very fascinating.
We extended our stay in Beijing with a few days. There is ...
Beijing: Ain't nobody got time to post.
... before there were just stands. China sure is changing rapidly!
Saturday would be the day of being lost! A small group of us (me, Sharon, Anna and Abby) had a few spots in the city that we planned on visiting. The first was Tianyi Market. Sharon and Anna found this market online and apparently, the sellers from the Silk Market bought their stuff at the Tianyi Market. So we were hoping that we would find stuff sold at the Silk Market ...

Does God really have a plan and a purpose for my work?
God is vitally, passionately, and intimately interested in the workplace. Many have embraced the biblical concept of our whole life being impacted by God, and that there is no separation between the sacred and the secular.
How do you integrate your faith with your work? Through real commercial experience, author Mark Bilton has walked with God and seen Him open doors that have taken him from the shop floor to the boardroom; from sales assistant to CEO.
In this book are 365 short, sharp, insightful messages that are scriptural and applicable to you and your work. They will transform your work life, and your workplace.
There is no inconsistency between a Christian worldview and commercial success. Work is a vital part of His plan and purpose for us. We have been lovingly crafted, anointed, and appointed, for a particular purpose. We will only reach our full potential as we recognize God's hand at work in our work.

Sharon Osbourne believes having a grandchild was ''one of the best things'' to happen to her family because it allowed them to bond and clean-up their act.
Sharon Osbourne believes having a grandchild was ''one of the best things'' to happen to her family.
The 'X Factor' UK judge's son Jack and his fiancee Lisa Stelly welcomed their first child, daughter Pearl, into the world in April and the proud grandmother thinks having a new addition to the family unit was the making of her relatives.
Speaking on British TV show 'Lorraine', she said: ''Being a grandmother is a gift, it's an absolute gift and people go, 'Oh I'm old now'. But you know what, gifts come as you get older and grandchildren is one of those gifts from God and it's just one of the best things that has happened our family for years.''
The 60-year-old star is proud of all her three children, Aimee, 30, Kelly, 28, and 27-year-old Jack - who she has with husband Ozzy Osbourne - and she is glad they explored the rebellious side of life while they were still young because they've learnt from their mistakes and become better people since.
She explained: ''It's down to them (they're achievements) and not having a sense of entitlement and having an understanding of good work ethic and understanding that you learn from your mistakes.
''And they've done it all but I'm happy that they've done it at the right age when you can still get away with it. If they'd have a mid-life crisis it would have been 'Oh dear, couldn't do that.' But they did it all at the right time so I'm blessed with that.''

If Andre Villas-Boas thought that his Tottenham Hotspur team were contenders, that they were moving in the right direction, or even that they had a coherent team, they received a brutal lesson from Liverpool yesterday in what that all means.
This was one of the most comprehensive victories of the season, and even the six-point, five-place gap between them now feels insufficient. It owed just as much to Spurs' abject poverty as to Liverpool's skill and intensity. Even though three of the five goals came in the desperate mess of the last 15 minutes, against 10 men, the score-line was a fair reflection of the whole match. Liverpool made enough good chances to reach double-figures. Sebastian Mignolet did not have a save to make.
From the first minute to the last, Liverpool were far superior. Brendan Rodgers said it was "the most complete performance" of his time in charge. Both Rodgers and Villas-Boas are managers with clear ideas of how football should be played, and while Spurs looked like a team who had never trained or played together before, Liverpool executed Rodgers' plans perfectly.
"The model of our game was outstanding," Rodgers said. "We were like animals without the ball." Liverpool were relentless throughout, ripping through Spurs with their aggressive 4-3-3 formation. They knew, as Manchester City did three weeks ago, that there is a softness to this Spurs team, that with enough pressure they will collapse. Liverpool pressed high, won the ball back quickly, and attacked into the gaping space behind Spurs' back four.
Leading all of this, as ever, was Luis Suarez, who scored two and set up two others. He now has 17 league goals from 12 goals this season. As Spurs know very keenly since Gareth Bale departed, there are only so many world-class players and it is better to have them than not. Liverpool had to fight to keep Suarez this summer but he captained them today, and Rodgers was delighted with his example. "I wanted someone who could represent me and the club in that tunnel before we step on the pitch. If Luis Suarez is standing with the armband on, everyone knows this is a team who's ready to go out and fight."
Leadership was not the only thing Spurs were lacking yesterday – there was no control, precision, application or threat either – but it was striking just how easily they folded under Liverpool's pressure. Villas-Boas mentioned their injuries after the game but their back four – thrown-together then torn-apart – was dismal.
With no Danny Rose, Jan Vertonghen, Younes Kaboul or Vlad Chiriches, Spurs had Michael Dawson and Etienne Capoue at centre-back with Kyle Naughton at left-back. Naughton had to be withdrawn for Ezekiel Fryers, making his first league appearance for Spurs, at half-time.
It was Naughton's one-sided battle with Raheem Sterling which made it immediately clear that Spurs would find it difficult. Stationed on the right of Liverpool's front three, Sterling soon realised that he was faster and sharper than Spurs left-back Kyle Naughton, beating him three times in the first 15 minutes, drawing free-kicks, causing problems and lacing panic in the Tottenham back-line.
So it was no surprise when, 18 minutes in, Suarez put Liverpool ahead. Dropping deep into space, he played an incisive pass forward for Henderson's run. Dawson slid in to tackle and the ball rolled loose. Suarez, with his instant instincts, charged forward, Henderson touched it to him, Suarez skipped past Capoue's desperate lunge and found the bottom corner.
Liverpool knew that Spurs' back four were playing too high and there was space for them to exploit. A long Martin Skrtel clearance brought Lloris out, but his header was poor, Suarez reached the ball first but uncharacteristically turned down the chance to score. He waited too long, Lloris got back into position and the moment was gone.
Liverpool need not have worried. Five minutes before the interval they had their second after another move that was just too quick for Spurs' flat stranded defence. Sterling played a brilliant diagonal pass to Coutinho on the left, whose lay-off was perfection. Henderson shot, Lloris came out to save, Suarez shot, Lloris scrambled back to save, but when Henderson picked it up again Lloris could not stop him from making it 2-0.
Spurs needed to be a radical improvement after the interval but all they could muster was Soldado hitting one over. Liverpool soon re-asserted their control, and could have scored their third far sooner, when Mamadou Sakho headed against the bar.
The towel was thrown in soon after, when Paulinho planted his foot in Suarez's chest and was sent off. Villas-Boas said it was "an extremely poor call", that was the "key to the result", as two minutes earlier he had replaced Mousa Dembele with Andros Townsend, his final change, now leaving him with just Lewis Holtby and Nacer Chadli in the middle.
Suarez and Coutinho missed more chances, but both were involved in making the third. Coutinho rolled the ball down the channel to Henderson, on another forward charge, and he reached the by-line and back-heeled it to Suarez. His chipped cross to the far-post was perfect and Jon Flanagan, the 20-year-old left-back, was there at the far post, volleying it in off the underside of the bar and gleefully charging over to the away fans.
It was not easy before, it was very simple now, Spurs' 10 tired men providing little resistance as Liverpool revelled in one of the greatest away wins for years. Suarez soon scored his second, taking a pass from substitute Luis Alberto, facing no challenge, and lifting it with the outside of his right over Lloris from the edge of the box.
Suarez even turned down a chance of a hat-trick with two minutes left, choosing instead to roll the ball through to Sterling, who did not have any difficulty scoring Liverpool's fifth.
It was a special afternoon for Liverpool. "Obviously you dream," said Rodgers, when asked if he ever thought about the title. "That was my dream. I didn't come here to be fourth, third or second. Eventually you want to win."
Tottenham (4-2-3-1) Lloris 3; Walker 4, Capoue 3, Dawson 3, Naughton 3 (Fryers, 45, 5) ; Sandro 4 (Holtby 30, 6), Dembele 4 (Townsend, 61, 4); Lennon 4, Paulinho 4, Chadli 5; Soldado 4

A rising star on the right of Israeli politics has cast doubt on whether the country's government is willing to accept a future Palestinian state.
In a series of interviews in recent days, Danny Danon, Israel's deputy defence minister and a member of the Likud Party led by the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated that a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders – the internationally accepted starting point for peace talks – would not be acceptable for some of his government colleagues.
Mr Danon says that the governing coalition is "staunchly opposed to a two-state solution and would block the creation of a Palestinian state if such a proposal ever came to a vote."
Speaking to the Times of Israel, Mr Danon said: "Look at the government. There was never a government discussion, resolution or vote about the two-state solution. If you will bring it to a vote in the government – nobody will bring it to a vote, it's not smart to do it – but if you bring it to a vote, you will see that the majority of Likud ministers, along with the Jewish Home [party], will be against it. The international community can say whatever they want, and we can do whatever we want."
In an interview with Israeli Radio on Sunday, he added: "We are a nationalist government and not a government that will establish a Palestinian government in 1967 lines."
The Palestinians, with international support, are seeking a state in areas captured by Israel during the 1967 war. It is anticipated that any final agreement would include several land swaps.
The timing of the comments is embarrassing for the Israeli government as John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, prepares to fly to the region for more talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. It is thought the Americans will expect a decision from both sides to renew negotiations within weeks. Mr Kerry and President Barack Obama believe that a two-state solution to the crisis is the only viable option.
Senior Israeli politicians have publicly backed Mr Kerry's recent effort to restart negotiations with the Palestinians. Mr Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres have both stressed that the only solution to the decades-old conflict includes the formation of a viable state for the Palestinians.
Mr Netanyahu's office took the unusual step of contacting the Times of Israel on Saturday – the Jewish holy day – to distance itself from Mr Danon's comments. It issued a statement saying that the comments reflect neither the government's view nor that of Mr Netanyahu. The opposition Labor Party called on Mr Danon to be sacked.
Several Israeli cabinet ministers live in West Bank settlements considered illegal under international law. Others, such as the Trade Minister, Naftali Bennett, leader of the rightist Jewish Home party, have also denounced the idea of a two-state solution.Reuse content

Sheena's Bio
My name is Sheena! I'm a 31 yr old nutrition student seeking great new families. I am always excellent with date nights last minute calls and I'm currently looking to rebuild my clientele in that area.
I love children and I have been told that I am very good with them. Once I am finished with school, I'm hoping to continue working with many of the little angles by opening up my own quality daycare for low income families. I am an absolute kid at heart. I believe that my strongest attribute for this job would be my fun personality. I love playing engaging in conversations reading and being silly with children. I promise that you won't always find me on the sideline. I think of this job as the reason why I don't have to join a gym. ;) I've taken three child care classes in high school (which was a hands on class with 20 toddlers to care for and teach) and also babysat for many many Manhattan families with children ranging from 1 month to 12 yrs. I've even got experience with twins and multiple children. I can cook fairly easy meals and I have worked with a Jewish family so I am also familiar with kosher kitchens!
I am a nanny that would absolutely fall in love with your child and teach him/her as if he/she were my own. I believe that in order to give this planet a better future no amount of marching and shouting can be better than properly raising our children to have great caring personalities

Chapter One
I wake with a start, drenched in sweat at the memory turned into a dream. The vivid scene at such a young age disturbed me forever, and in part, ruined my life. Without a father to help us pay the bills, Mama has been forced to pick up multiple jobs, including a teacher, waitress, and a baker. Kalila can't work because she is too sick, so the other two Hunter children, Adam and me, have to pick up the slack. I tutor children at the school, but very little money comes from it. Most of the parents of those kids are barely doing better than us, so they pay me as little as possible. Adam, barely eight years old, has a job, too. He is a newspaper boy for everyone in the village. He was lucky to get the job, as there are at least twenty other boys begging for that occupation to help their family. However, he keeps it, because with his stubbornness and determination, he has never made a mistake. Thanks to the Family Occupation Law of 2689, children can get jobs to help their families pay taxes and survive on their own.
I turn to my sister's side of the bed and find her sound asleep, thank goodness. Her breathing is even, and although it is hoarse, she is okay. I kiss her forehead, just to remind myself that she is alive, for a few days more, at least. I go to the corner of the bedroom and check on Admina, my niece. The little toddler is sleeping, her little tiny fingers curled into fists. I smile, pulling an extra blanket over the child to keep her warm for the rest of her slumber.
I take one last glance at Kalila and Addie and then get up, slipping my arms into the sleeves of my leather jacket and heading for the door. I linger for a moment with my hand on the doorknob, watching them, and then close the door softly behind me. Careful not to wake my family, I scale the small ladder that leads to the attic. The rungs creak and sway beneath my weight, and I stop for a second, praying that no one heard it. Biting my lip, I swing the creaky trapdoor open and hurry to the other side of the attic. In the darkness, I run my hands over the only recently used window in the room. Finding the lock, I turn it quickly, gripping the underside of the window, and pull it up smoothly. Slipping into the humid morning air, I climb over the slanted roof of our house, adrenaline pumping through my body each time I grab another shingle. My fear of heights is long gone now, but still, every time I reach the peak I get a rush of dread.
My back rests against the sturdy chimney and my knees are pulled up to my chest, giving me a strange sense of security. "Here it comes," I whisper to myself, watching as the first sliver of the red sun appears. A sigh escapes my lips as the beautiful colors begin to appear, releasing the tension in my chest. This has become a regular task for me, ever since Dmitri's disappearance. The hues of orange, purple, and blue help me think.
I let out a shaky sigh. Anxiety has become a routine for me now. That's mainly why I come up here. Without the pressure of school, finance, and family, I am free to contemplate the tales of misfortune that make up my book of life.
Chapter One: My father.
Papa died as a result of my ignorance and fear. I have decided, since then, that I will not be afraid of anything. That way, if anything like that happens ever again, I will be ready. I now know how to wield a knife, a sword, and even a bow and arrow (not that I am very good at it). If that horrendous creature ever steps foot in our village again, it will be dead before it can touch a single human being.
Chapter Two: Dmitri.
Dmitri is my older brother. He is twenty-two right now, and is currently MIA. He went missing a few years ago, when I was eleven, on Festival Day. Maybe he ran away. We don't know. Maybe he got kidnapped. We don't know. Maybe he committed suicide. Again, we don't know. Sometimes, I make up fantasies in my head that he will come back with some brilliant explanation as to where he's been all these years. Not knowing what happened to him is far worse than being told that he died of cholera, or got stabbed in a dark alleyway somewhere, or joined the Venators without letting us know.
But the worse part is that when he left us, he left his love and his child as well. Carywn, Dmitri's husband, was left behind, as well as their adopted daughter, Admina, or Addie. Addie is the daughter of Carwyn's sister, Lavena. She died giving birth to Addie, so Carwyn took her in as her own, just as he and Dmitri were newlyweds. They didn't have a honeymoon or anything, because they didn't have the money for that, but they did have a pretty nice wedding, which about half the village was invited to.
When Dmitri went missing, Carywn went a little crazy. He lost his job, stopped eating, and had a hard time sleeping. A huge chunk of his heart went with Dmitri when he left. He wouldn't, or couldn't, talk to anyone outside the family, and when he did talk to us, it was three-word sentences mostly concerning Addie. She was the only thing he cared about. After about a year, he turned somewhat normal for about a month. At the end of that month, he handed Addie over to us, said he'd be back in a few weeks, and left.
He never came back.
Chapter Three: Kalila.
Kalila's role as an older sister was dashed when the deadly winter struck. The snow came down hard and relentlessly, and it was just terrible luck that she got caught in one of the worst storms. Shuddering as the ice crept under her skin, she had no way to reach the house as the bright white snowstorm rendered her blind. So as the cold slowly seeped in, she watched as her fingers turned from a healthy pink to a sickly white to a deadly black, and there was no one around to hear her cries. It was horrid, not knowing whether Kalila was alive or not. Mama stayed up the entire night, wishing, praying, for her eldest daughter to come home. Luckily, we found her the next day, half-dead in a pile of snow, letting out soft whimpers in her unconscious state as her body shut down. We rushed her to the infirmary as fast as we could. A medic was by her side in mere minutes. He said her pneumonia was fatal. Fatal. As in dead, in a couple of minutes. She had a forty percent chance of survival. Thankfully, she made it through the worst of the disease, and her life was restored.
But a few days after her victory of her battle with pneumonia, she woke up in the middle of the night, barely able to breathe. An infection was spreading through her respiratory system, and soon enough, death came knocking.
The medic tells us there is nothing we could do other than wait for nature to take its course. Due to the expensive cost of the treatment, we can't save Kalila from the disease that is tearing her lungs apart. We give her painkillers and sleeping pills and try to make her as comfortable as possible. My heart is breaking, day-by-day, as I watch my once-strong older sister wither away. Her skin turns ashen, her vibrant eyes grow dull, and every day she seems more and more confused. Sometimes she can't even remember what happened to her, or even who Addie is. The medics say it is a side effect of the disease.
I don't know how long it's been, but I figure it's time to go, so I start to climb back down the roof. Once I'm a few feet away from the window, it opens and a familiar, curly-haired head peeks out.
My brother grins. "I knew you were out here."
I give him a guilty smile, shrugging.
"Mama wants you."
"You didn't tell her I was up here, did you?" I inquire.
Adam shakes his head. "No. It's our secret, remember?" His golden brown eyes sparkle.
He found me up here a couple of weeks ago, because my journey to the attic was too loud. I said if he didn't tell Mama that I would do his chores for a month. He agreed, of course, and since then I have been working twice as hard after school, with almost no time for extra-curricular activities.
"Aren't you coming?" Adam asks me. He is halfway across the attic, whereas I have one foot planted on the windowsill, and the other still in the open air above the roof.
"Of course," I reply, swinging my other leg inside the house. I drop onto the wooden floor and we make our way across the room together.
Adam goes down to the kitchen for breakfast while I go to Mama's room. "Mama?" I call out softly as I near her door. I open it and see Mama on the floor, yanking up the floorboards. I suck in a breath. I should get back downstairs with Adam, but… I am a naturally curious person. When I see her drag out a box and gaze at the things inside for fifteen minutes flat, I have to know what was inside. As soon as Mama is gone, teaching, I sneak into her room and pull up those very same floorboards, pulling out a heavy wood box with two initials carved into it. CB. Mama's first name was Camille, but her last name was Hunter as a result of her marriage to my father. Was that her maiden name, then? I open the box. Inside is a picture of two little girls. One, with dark brown hair in pigtails, could have been Mama, but the other one I didn't recognize. I flip the picture over, reading the loopy cursive on the back. Camille, it read, and Imogen Blackstone. That must be their last name: Blackstone. It matches the initials on the front.
I jump as I hear someone coming up the stairs. I shove the box back into its hiding spot, putting the planks of wood back, and scrambling out of the room.
I rush down the stairs to meet Adam, who was coming up the stairs to get me to get ready for school. I grab my pack and slip my arms into the straps, grabbing a chunk of bread as breakfast. I take Adam to the primary school first, even though he tells me over and over that he can walk by himself. I don't let him, of course, because I know that it is my job to protect him, no matter what.

I have been using the Muscle Pharm Fitmiss Cookies and Cream flavored protein powder as a breakfast replacement shake for two weeks now. When mixed with milk, it keeps me full and satisfied until lunchtime and it tastes like a milkshake which satisfies my sweet tooth. The only complaint I have is that the taste is a bit too sweet, but its still tasty.
I bought the 5lb tub at Costco for a great price. I tried the cookies n' cream, it has a great taste but there is just too many ingredients in it for me and no to mention Sucralose. I will not be buying again!
This is a great protein. I add some water and shake! I always but the chocolate chip ones! TaTse great

The TGF-beta (show TGFB1 Proteins)/Smad (show SMAD1 Proteins) signaling system decreases its activity through strong negative regulation. We provide evidence for a new negative feedback loop through PPM1A (show PPM1A Proteins) upregulation.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the PP2C family of Ser/Thr protein phosphatases. PP2C family members are known to be negative regulators of cell stress response pathways. This phosphatase dephosphorylates, and negatively regulates the activities of, MAP kinases and MAP kinase kinases. It has been shown to inhibit the activation of p38 and JNK kinase cascades induced by environmental stresses. This phosphatase can also dephosphorylate cyclin-dependent kinases, and thus may be involved in cell cycle control. Overexpression of this phosphatase is reported to activate the expression of the tumor suppressor gene TP53/p53, which leads to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

Today, on World Refugee Day, I had the honor of attending a naturalization ceremony at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Thirty-six men and women who left their homes and sought protection in the United States took the oath of allegiance and waved American flags as they were proclaimed citizens of the United States of America.
