Our Goods 4 Girls campaign continues to inspire scores of women to help girls in Africa. The latest inspiration is Anna Hawfield who, upon reading about Loretta's trip to Kenya (which is a very moving blog post) contacted Lunapads to see how she could help while volunteering for International Volunteer HQ. Anna will be distributing Lunapads Goods 4 Girls Kits through the help of Africa Youth Trust, a local NGO that has overseen similar projects in the past. Anna will be in Nairobi for 6 weeks starting in November. To stay on top of her trip, check out her blog here at Cycle of Hope.
Just before leaving for her trip, Anna joined a women's networking group called SECT (Southeastern Connecticut Women's Network) and attended a local meeting of the Mastermind Group. "The core purpose of the Mastermind group is to work co-creatively with women locally and globally to facilitate them with empowerment projects in their own lives and communities. Mastermind recognizes women as an underutilized resource in the world. When these women are supported to realize their potential the quality of life world wide improves."
In just a few weeks, Anna and generous members of SECT raised over $1,500 to fund the purchase of over 50 Lunapads Goods 4 Girls Kits. Way to go ladies! We're looking forward to getting an update from Anna when she arrives in Nairobi and updates the blog with her story and pictures.
We are so happy to see how the act of global community service is spreading among the Lunapads community and beyond. Please contact us if you want to participate or share your story.

Spy Games
Author : Adam Brookes
Publisher : Redhook
Release : August 25, 2015
Genre : Literature & Fiction
In a world of lies, one man wants the truth.
Journalist Philip Mangan is trying to stay out of trouble in East Africa, his reputation and his life in tatters. But when he is caught in a terrorist attack in East Africa and a shadowy Chinese figure approaches him in the dead of night with information on the origins of the attack, Mangan is suddenly back in the eye of the storm.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on a humid Hong Kong night, a key British Intelligence source is murdered minutes after meeting spy Trish Patterson. From Washington, D.C. to the hallowed halls of Oxford University and dusty African streets, a sinister power is stirring, one which will use Mangan and Patterson as pawns — if they survive.
Deeply steeped in tension and paranoia, Adam Brookes's second novel is a remarkable, groundbreaking spy thriller.

That's a good question, and the answer is heartening too: Just because your physician prescribes blood pressure medication doesn't mean you have to take it forever. Although most people find that taking antihypertensive medication helps to control their blood pressure with relatively few serious side effects, once your blood pressure is under control you may be able to lower the dosage or stop taking the medication altogether by adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, many people do require lifelong medication therapy because despite a healthy lifestyle, they still may have high blood pressure due to other intrinsic factors.
The good news is that even if you require medications for blood pressure, you can keep the dose down by eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. One word of warning: Often people stop taking their pills once their blood pressure reaches a healthy level, only to find it shoots right back up after a period of time. This fluctuation could be dangerous, so never stop taking your medication without first consulting your physician. And if you are concerned about taking medication for the long term, ask your doctor about alternative ways to control your blood pressure. Good luck.

France and Guinea
Political relations
Ms Maria Adiatu Djaló Nandingna, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and the Diaspora, visited France in May 2009 and had the opportunity to meet the Minister of State for Cooperation and Francophonie, Mr Alain Joyandet.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and the Diaspora, Mr Mamadu Saliu Djaló Pires, attended the farewell ceremonies for President Sanha in Paris in January 2012.
In consultation with the African Union, France invited the Foreign Affairs Minister of Guinea-Bissau, Mr Fernando Delfim da Silva, to the Élysée Summit for Peace and Security in Africa held in Paris on 6 and 7 December 2013.
Since September 2015, the French Embassy has been providing a streamlined diplomatic presence.
Economic relations
The volume of trade is very low. In 2015, French exports to Guinea-Bissau amounted to €6.58 million and French imports from Guinea-Bissau to €117,000.
The French economic presence in Guinea-Bissau is very small and limited to the companies Total (35% of the oil supply market) and Orange, and to some individual hotel business investments.
Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation
France's action focuses on two areas: the teaching of French and healthcare.
The France-Guinea-Bissau Cultural Centre opened in March 2004 and is today a renowned place of culture in Bissau catering for the demand for the teaching of French so as to foster the regional integration of Guinea-Bissau. The teaching of French affects several hundred people in strategic sectors (Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, justice, finance, National School of Public Administration of Guinea-Bissau, etc.). Education of All is on an upward trend.
France is the second-largest global contributor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (around 12.5% of total contributions) and the largest contributor to the Global Fund in Guinea-Bissau (5% Initiative: €1.3 million for the period 2013-2014). Support from the French diplomatic post for the Global Fund in reforming governance structures in Guinea-Bissau has helped improve management of the Global Fund for the benefit of patients. Reduction in the staff of the diplomatic post makes it difficult to monitor this issue locally and the post has requested more regular visits by the Health Adviser (who is resident in Dakar).

Hello players. Just to get it out of the way, Reality and Boneless Chicken each picked up wins this week as a result of forfeits. Now I know we've been having an issue with forfeits all year, but I had higher hopes about this week given the popularity of the game being played. But it is what it is. The PS3 League on the other hand was an entirely different story this week.
Since we didn't have enough manpower to make the Hostages modifier work, we instead played a game of Neutral Allies. Pinnacle Ramrod teamed up with the Boston Teabags to take on the Combine and Zanzibar. In the schedule, PR was against the C, and BT was against Z. This means that although in game BT and PR were all teammates, their kills scored were only relevant to their individual matches, which is why at the end of the day the Boston Teabags defeated Combine and Zanzibar defeated Pinnacle Ramrod.
Now there's two things that I need to make a note of regarding the PS3 matches. 1) there were rounds played where ULG teammates were on different sides as kills were scored, and therefore I could not count them as legit rounds. All of the rounds here and even a few that came after were legitimate, so we were not short by any means. 2) The second official round was actually a tie between Zanzibar and Pinnacle Ramrod, and it was counted as half of a won round for each team, which is why they ended up being 4.5 to .5 rounds.
SPECIAL NOTE: Last week I made an error in the overall standings. I had it that Zanzibar lost to the Combine by forfeit, but it was actually the Combine that did not have any players. This has been corrected in the standings this week.
The stats from these matches and the updated standings are below. Click on them to see them more clearly.
If anybody out there is interested in joining us this season, we will be taking signups for subs pretty much all season. To sign up, just send an email to the address in the header space that includes your PSN/XBL IDs, your location (country and time zone), age, and the first console that got you into gaming. This information will be used to make a profile for you. I will respond to the email with the official stat book and schedule attached (an excel document).

Constructing Global Governance of Global Finance: Towards a Hybrid Global Financial Architecture
I develop a critical constructivist evolutionary theory of international financial institutions and arrangements. Specifically, I analyze the role of IMF under the present globalization moves and repeated financial crises by following such a critical constructivist evolutionary theory of international financial institutions. Furthermore, the potential for reforms in the wake of the global financial crisis and the great recession is analyzed from a dialectical social constructivist viewpoint that combines the power of --sometimes conflicting--- norms and ideas with the underlying structural contradictions to produce a "critical-constructivist" analysis of the potential for change. It is shown that IMF must and can change in a direction which allows for greater national policy autonomy. It is also shown that the IMF needs complementary regional institutions of cooperation in order to create a stabilizing hybrid global financial architecture that will be more democratic and Keynesian-Kaleckian in terms of its theoretical underpinnings. Thus regional financial architectures will need to be integral parts of any new global financial architecture(GFA).The tentative steps taken towards regional cooperation in Asia since Asian financial crisis are discussed to illustrate the opportunities and challenges posed by the need to evolve towards a hybrid GFA. The opportunities and challenges arising from the current global crisis are analyzed in this context.

Mandarin Chinese is the most common dialect of Chinese and is the basis of 普通话 (Pǔtōnghuà, literally "Common Language"). It is spoken in Northern and Central China. It is the world's largest language, with 885 million native speakers.
Phonology Edit
Chinese is a tonal language and has four tones. Rising, falling, falling rising and high: má, mà, mǎ and mā.
Grammar Edit
Mandarin is a widely given example of an unmarked language, having no case, gender, or plurals. It does not conjugate verbs. All this results in a very important word order (which is often very similar to the word order of English) and getting a feel for the correct word order is essential.
Orthography Edit
Chinese characters are logographs composed of radicals, or smaller units of certain strokes that can give a hint to the meaning or pronounciation of a character. There are tens of thousands of characters of which several thousand have everyday use and are required to be considered literate. Taiwan uses traditional characters while Mainland China went through a reform in the 20th century resulting in the official use of simplified characters. It can also be written with Pinyin.
Common difficulties Edit
The most daunting task for any student of Chinese, regardless of dialect, is mastering the writing system. The tonal nature of spoken Mandarin Chinese also presents difficulty for many students with no prior experience speaking a tonal language.
Resources Edit
There is an FSI-course, for Mandarin Chinese.
There are premade mnemonics to help remember vocabulary with tones at MandarinMnemonics.com
- Have you seen How to study Chinese signs?
The official FSI course is Speed Learning Languages,for Mandarian ChineseThe Speed Learning Languages course was developed by the U.S. Government (Foreign Service Institute) to teach diplomats, FBI, and other U.S. officials a foreign language in a faster and easier way. The course was never meant to be released to the public, but they eventually released it and we can now use their language learning techniques as well. The Speed Learning Languages course is very fast paced and not as recommend for beginners as other courses such as Pimsleur. Although if you are serious about learning the language it doesn't get much better than this. Included in the coarse is:
- 90+ hours of audio with accompanying text
- 4 levels reaching from beginner to advanced
- can be used without computer
- Available languages are: French, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Privately held shipping company Oxbow Group sued two major U.S. railroads on Tuesday, accusing them of price gouging and adding heft to legal and political challenges of freight company business practices.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the lawsuit asserts that Union Pacific Railroad Co and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) used monopolization and price fixing to illegally increase costs of shipping coal and other products.
BNSF said in a statement that it had "not colluded or conspired in violation of any law" and that it would respond to the lawsuit through the legal process after reviewing it.
A Union Pacific spokesman said the company had not seen the complaint and had no comment.
Oxbow, headed by billionaire Bill Koch, ships mined coal and petroleum coke.
The lawsuit accused the railroads having colluded on fuel surcharges since 2003 with two other major freight railroads, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway Co. Neither CSX nor Norfolk Southern could be reached for comment.
A number of cases centered on claims of excessive railroad fuel surcharges are awaiting a decision on whether they should have class status in the same federal court.
"This is very serious litigation," said Bob Szabo, who leads a coalition of utilities, paper and chemical companies, and other industries that have gone to Congress to challenge railroad practices.
"I think that my initial reaction would be that it reinforces the complaint that we're making," Szabo said.
Proposed Senate legislation would strip railroads of their antitrust exemption and overhaul the way they are regulated.
In the past, similar proposals in Congress have failed to become law.
Regulators at the U.S. Surface Transportation Board are also weighing complaints about freight rail pricing. A hearing on that issue is scheduled for June 22.
The case is Oxbow Carbon & Minerals LLC vs Union Pacific Railroad Co and BNSF Railway Co, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 1:11-cv-01049.

Yesterday it looked like rain. I was hemming and hawing about whether or not we should grill. My plan was to make chicken and baked potatoes on the grill. Since the weather looked dicey, I decided I should choose a quicker cooking method for the potatoes, in case we had to bring it in. While I often "bake" potatoes in the Instant Pot®, I had the taste for roasted potatoes. I have probably said it a million times, but I HATE lighting my oven in the summer. Something about the design of my tiny kitchen or my crappy oven means my whole house gets really hot. No thanks. I decided I needed to use my Instant Pot® to mimic roasted potatoes. I am so glad I did. They were DELICIOUS and everyone loved them.
Instant Pot Pumpkin Risotto
My mushroom risotto recipe is by far my most pinned recipe. It is easy and delicious. While not necessarily a technically perfect risotto, it is pretty darn close and makes for a pretty impressive dish to serve to dinner guests. As I was putting my garden to sleep this weekend, I noticed that my sage is still looking quite good. We have had a mild autumn, and I don't believe anything has been touched by frost. I decided to cut off a few sprigs and use it in this Instant Pot® Pumpkin Risotto. It offers a hint of sage, which complements the pumpkin and nutmeg beautifully. This fall inspired risotto works well as an entrée or side. It also makes for a delicious recipe for your Thanksgiving menu.
Ratatouille. Did I spell that correctly? Ratatouille in an Instant Pot® - yes! Did you ever see the cute Disney movie by the same name? Despite my hatred for rats (hey, big city living), I adore that movie. I could watch it again and again, and it always warms my heart. I also adore ratatouille. It is a really easy dish to prepare. Savory, stewy, and the perfect side for chicken, fish, or even as a pizza or pasta topping. It is naturally vegan and gluten-free, which makes it a great dish to have in your recipe repertoire.
Middle Eastern Dill Rice
When my husband and I were dating and in our first few years of marriage, our favorite restaurant was a Middle Eastern place that served amazing kebabs over a bed of dill rice. To this day, I still love this rice more than any other. It is sprinkled with buttery lima beans and the fragrant and unexpected flavor of dill. Recreating this favorite was a breeze in the Instant Pot®. Now to work on my kebabs.
I recently made amazing Baked Beans in my Instant Pot®. As soon as my younger son walked into the kitchen, he said, "baked beans?" His eyes lit up, until I said that they had bacon in them. He's a vegetarian. He sweetly asked if I could make him vegetarian baked beans. How could I let him down? After a little trial and error, I came up with a winner.
Quick and Easy Baked Beans
I should call these Instant Pot® Baked Beans - Bacon Beans, because they are made with a ton of bacon. Oh my gosh, they are good. Sweet, spicy, and EASY. I will admit that I usually just open a can of baked beans and call it dinner, but these are easy enough to make that I should not do that any more. The recipe makes a ton, so make it tonight and freeze half for a meal in the future.
Hi, I am Julie and welcome to Instantly Delicious. I am so glad you are here to share in my adventures with using an Instant Pot ® to make easy, nutritious, and Instantly Delicious food.

PURPOSE: To study comparatively devitalized bovine bone, porous coralline hydroxyapatite, castor beans polyurethane implants and autograft in the repair of 6x10mm bony defect in femur of rabbits. METHODS: Ninety six New Zealand rabbits were distributed in 4 groups conforms the material of replacement of the bony defect. After following of 4 and 12 weeks, the pieces were submitted the macroscopic, microscopic, radiographic, tomographic and histometric analysis. To data was applied Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, Fisher, t-Student and qui-square statistical tests. RESULTS: The autograft showed greatest osteogenic potential; the devitalized bovine bone produces larger inflammatory reaction, larger number of cystic cavities and slowness integration; the porous coralline hydroxyapatite maintains the initial radiodensity; devitalized bovine bone and castor beans polyurethane implants showed increased radiodensities as they were invaded by the bony formation. CONCLUSION: Devitalized bovine bone implants induces slower bony formation, when compared to the autograft, porous coralline hydroxyapatite and castor beans polyurethane implants.
Keywords : Bovine bone; Hydroxyapatite; Polimer; Autograft; Rabbit.

Only 4 Ingredients!
So Easy that my 7 year old made them, and so can you!
1 Spice cake mix
1- 15 ounce can of pumpkin (or 1 ¾ cup of pumpkin)
½ cup of apple sauce
1 package of chocolate chips
Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir.
Spray the pans with nonstick spray.
Put your finger in the dough and mark the pan where you want the cookie to go.
This helps the "little chef" space the cookies properly.
Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
Let cool and eat!
This recipe came from the Hostesses of a Halloween Party our family attended in 2013.

A citizen of the world performer, Firdaws Adelpour is proficiently multi-lingual in Russian, Turkish, Dari, Iranian and Tajik and Farsi, not to mention variations of British, American, Middle Eastern and Asian accents. With his Central Asian heritage, he has a pick-me-up talent in these languages, showing respect and knowledge for each culture that he comes into contact with, including Australia's.
While Firdaws has a scientific background in microbiology, his intelligence doesn't end there. As a natural athlete with good hand-to-eye coordination, Firdaws tends to engage in very physical and active fitness, being able to play almost any sport. On stage it has translated into an excitedly developed sense of his work ethic, being adaptable to the demands and rigors of any given skill-set, and staging direction.
He has been trained in the revolutionary biomechanics of Meyerhold Technique, drawing attention to his symbolically aggressive and seminal acrobatics. Resulting in heightened reflexive dexterity through working with partners and physical objects, and increased awareness and nimble agility in ensemble work, Firdaws has achieved the 'arming' of his imagination, in a famous phrase originated by Igor Ilyinksy, a Meyerhold student. Indeed he can play a suave and ingenuous lothario as much as a rugged and endurable warrior.
A recent graduate from ACTT appearing in theatrical highlights such as "Two Noble Kinsmen", "Angels in America", "Death & the Maiden" and "Miss Julie" as well as a feature film "Two Brothers and a Girl", Firdaws is logical, focused, grounded, expressive and thoughtful. He can take direction and has an ambiguous look that suggests a range of different ethnicities, reading like a laundry list of Venezuelan, Mexican, Brazilian, Spanish, Portuguese as well as Latin American, Hawaiian or even Japanese and 'half-Asian'!
As the face of "Manesia", Firdaws made national circulation on the front page of MX – the only daily commuter newspaper in Australia (which attracts up to 663,000 people daily). He is also featured in TV promotions. Not bad for someone who can speak six languages and dissect microscopic organisms!

The FAA is preparing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to require automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) equipage for aircraft to gain access to certain airspace by 2020, said FAA associate administrator for aviation safety Nicholas Sabatini. Sabatini made the comments during a speech at the FAA's New Technologies Workshop on Tuesday in Washington. Though the FAA has not officially said which airspace will require equipage, RTCA ADS-B Work Group co-chairman Ken Speir said to expect the rules to closely mimic today's mode-C transponder requirements. Speir said the scheduled NPRM release is September, but "that's the aggressive target." Don't expect the final rule to be signed until 2010, Speir added. "You need 10 years for the industry to equip." Sabatini also said the FAA is moving forward on a plan to award a contract for national ADS-B coverage. Lockheed Martin has already announced its bidding team for the contract.

D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets Introduce "Nutrition Guide"
Michigan-based Spartan Stores introduced a new program called The Nutrition Guide through its West Michigan banners D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets on Sept. 13, 2009.
Michigan-based Spartan Stores introduced a new program called The Nutrition Guide through its West Michigan banners D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets on Sept. 13, 2009. More than 16,000 products are identified with a color-coded labeling system, indicating:
• Low-fat (orange label)
• Low-sodium (tan label)
• High-fiber (teal blue label)
• Gluten-free (green label)
• Sugar-free (purple label)
• Low-calorie (yellow label)
These categories are supported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A variety of foods that are low in fat, low in sodium and high in fiber also will be identified with a heart label indicating they are heart-friendly.
Need for Better Labeling
The "U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends 2009" report from the Food Marketing Institute found that only 15 percent of grocery store shoppers were extremely satisfied with the nutrition information provided by their primary grocery store, and that 35 percent were somewhat satisfied and 38 percent were neither satisfied or dissatisfied. This, coupled with Spartan Stores' 2009 independent research indicating the majority of consumers believe it is extremely or very important that their grocery stores of choice provide information about the health and nutrition benefits of the products they purchase led Spartan Stores to develop The Nutrition Guide program.
Ron Nelson, president of the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids, along with the YMCA branch executive directors and wellness directors, the program director for Gerontology Network's Traveling Grannies/Grandpas statewide program, the wellness director at Holland's Evergreen Commons Senior Center, and manager of Forest Hills Seniors Community Services Programs, joined Spartan Stores' registered dietitian Heather Leets for a demonstration about the program and how to create healthy meals, including healthy back-to-school lunches, senior meals and portable work meals on a budget using the new labeling guidelines.
Leets and a team of registered dietitians designed The Nutrition Guide program to highlight specific attributes on nutrition labeling on more than 16,000 food products sold in D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets. Her hands-on experience with providing healthy recipes (on a budget) on the Web and in print ads, Ask the Dietitian Web-based program, and participation in statewide health fairs heightened her awareness for the need for better labeling. She and her team have spent months designing the program and labeling system.
"The D&W Culinary Classroom is the ideal setting for this kickoff," noted Spartan Stores' EVP merchandising and marketing, Alan Hartline. "Our facilities have 12 commercial-grade cooking stations and all the necessary equipment. Attendees not only learned about our Nutrition Guide and labeling system, they also had fun planning healthy, appetizing, affordable meals without fuss and confusing measurements. Afterward, participants had the opportunity to tour our Grandville D&W Fresh Market and check out how the color-coded nutritional labeling system works. It is very easy and ties in with both our weekly recipes and our in-store specials. Our registered dietitian, Heather Leets, facilitated the interactive meal presentation and our tour."
Simple, Easy Guidelines
"The beauty of The Nutrition Guide," noted Leets, "is it is very simple to follow. The labels are all color-coded by FDA category. Any one, any age, any education, any language can quickly identify food attributes that are important to them, like low-fat, low-sodium and high-fiber for a heart-friendly choice for healthy meal planning. For example, if you are a parent wanting to limit your children's intake of excess sugar, or someone who's been newly diagnosed with celiac disease, the Nutrition Guide shelf tags can be a helpful tool with your purchasing decisions."
Leets emphasized, "The Nutrition Guide is not intended to rank foods as 'healthy' or 'unhealthy,' but rather to simply call out foods that are low-fat, low-sodium, high-fiber, gluten-free, sugar-free and low-calorie, making it easier to identify foods that may benefit you and your family's health."
Healthy, Affordable Recipes and Online Support
Leets is developing simple, healthy, affordable recipes that will often feature weekly sale items for customers to pick up in their local D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets. She also provides online support through the "To Your Good Life" link on the Spartan Stores, D&W and Family Fare Web sites.
Community Partners
Mishelle Bakewell, community outreach manager for Metro Health, endorses The Nutrition Guide, noting: "Many people get confused when trying to make good nutrition choices. Label reading can be a chore with all the complicated words and graphs, numbers that many people don't understand. I think The Nutrition Guide program will simplify choices. It will also save time as a lot of folks shop on the run and taking time to read a label becomes one more thing to do. There is also contradicting information out there that further confuses people. The easy at-a-glance labels will help the shopper make good choices in less time. Tying in the sale items along with healthy recipes is an added bonus as shoppers can meal-plan, shop and save money all at the same time. It is a win-win for health-conscious shoppers."
Gary Strekle, health and wellness director for the David D. Hunting Branch of the YMCA, attended the Sept. 16 kickoff with president Ron Nelson and area branch executive directors and wellness directors, and is excited about The Nutrition Guide program. "This is exactly the type of program we want to share with our members and program participants. Our 'Move it to Lose It' participants will be able to shop Family Fare and D&W Fresh Markets, and use this new guide to help make better food-purchasing decisions. This labeling system, easy and affordable recipes, and online support will make it even easier, not just for this group but all of our YMCA members and guests. We are really excited about how we can connect this with some of our outreach efforts like the Healthy U program and Activate West Michigan. We also look forward to an ongoing relationship so that together we can help improve the health of West Michigan residents."
Spartan Stores recognizes that older adults may have special nutritional needs and, therefore, has established ongoing educational programs with Holland-based Evergreen Commons, the Forest Hills Senior Center and Grand Rapids-based Gerontology Network. Representatives from all three organizations attended the Sept. 16 kickoff, as well as set up educational programs and store tours throughout their service areas.
Peggy Burns, program director for Gerontology Network's Traveling Grannies/Grandpas program, attended the Sept. 16 kickoff along with two traveling grandparents. She believes The Nutrition Guide will be a tremendous help to the more than 60 Traveling Grannies and Grandpas. "Our Traveling Grannies and Grandpas who mentor teenage girls are on the front line, helping young mothers learn critical skills — from parenting and preventive health care to managing a budget and grocery shopping for nutritional foods. This will be an invaluable help to them."


text: Liberty Bell Bank (OTC:LBBB) today reported net income of $58,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $76,000 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $18,000. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $134,000, an improvement of $34,000 as compared to net income of $100,000 for the same period in 2015. At September 30, 2016, our common equity tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, leverage, tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets and total risk based capital ratios all increased to 9.40%, 6.74%, 9.40% and 10.65%, respectively. The decrease in the Bank's net income for this quarter over the same quarter in 2015 was due primarily to a decrease in its other non-interest income of $39,000 mainly caused by the receipt in the third quarter of 2015 of $103,000 of other non-interest income associated with the sale of other real estate owned compared to no such proceeds in the third quarter of 2016 partially offset by a $39,000 decrease in losses associated with the sale of other real estate and a $24,000 increase in loan related fees. In addition, the Bank's net interest income decreased by $15,000 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. However, the Bank's provision for loan losses decreased by $5,000 and its non-interest expense decreased by $31,000 in the third quarter of 2016, partially offsetting the negative variances in non-interest and net interest income. The decrease in net interest income was due to a $34,000 decrease in interest earned from investments partially offset by a $22,000 increase in interest and fees from loans. Also interest expense from interest paid on deposits increased by $3,000 due to an increase in the average rate paid on deposits from 0.66% in last year's third quarter to 0.68% this quarter caused by an increase in the rate of interest paid on money market deposit accounts. In addition, the average balance in the Bank's interest-bearing accounts increased $1.8 million to $111.9 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

It is certainly understandable that the Donald Trump presidency has left Google – oops, I mean Alphabet – more than a mite discombobulated.
Google has just spent the last eight years all-but-running the Barack Obama Administration. Google people visited the Obama White House at least 427 times. Dozens of key Google staffers – transmogrified into key Obama Administration staffers. Google literally wrote ridiculously crony policies that ridiculously favored them and crippled their competitors.
But all bad things must come to an end. The eight-year-long-national-nightmare Obama Administration finally drew to a close. And as it did, Google went all-in to secure Obama's Democrat successor – Hillary Clinton. To ensure that its crony gravy train continued.
Lest we forget, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt in June 2016 claimed "We're not going to touch Trump vs. Clinton." Which was..not exactly true. Schmidt worked directly with the Clinton campaign. Schmidt was also a member of the "Democratic Victory Task Force." Google was caught – at least twice – rigging Clinton search results so as to cover up her massive corruption.
But none of it worked. The Google crony magic was gone – Trump won.
And Google hasn't been dealing particularly well: Anti-Trump Protesters Gather at Google Headquarters: "(C)rowd(s) at the Mountain View, California headquarters, as well as offices in San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and around the world,…A person at the (headquarters) rally told CNBC that Google CEO Sundar Pichai and cofounder Sergey Brin spoke there.…"
Not dealing so well: "'Some of us may need to adopt Pence 2017 bumper stickers,' Google's cofounder Sergey Brin joked at a company sponsored anti-Trump protest…."
Not dealing very well at all: "Google lawyers flooded the California office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, demanding she oppose (Trump nominee) Sen. Jeff Sessions' confirmation as attorney general."
Eric Schmidt's opposition has also been…less than understated: "(T)he Trump administration is 'going to do these evil things.…'"
But while doing and saying things like all of that – Schmidt and Google are attempting to do things like this: "Eric Schmidt, Google's former CEO and chair of Alphabet, has traveled to Trump Tower a least twice to meet with the president and his team, but hasn't made any real progress."
Google should make absolutely zero progress. They spent most of the last decade enjoying anti-free market government favors from a Democrat administration. They strived mightily to ensure that there would be a successor Democrat administration – to continue their crippling cronyism.
And Google lost. To Trump – a man who won in large part by pledging to end just this sort of Washington, D.C. business-as-usual corruption.
Google's minions should be totally removed from anywhere they infest the federal government – and Google should get absolutely no further favoritism from DC.
Much has rightly been made of Obama Administration staff holdovers being obnoxious, surreptitious disruptors of the Trump Administration. They all should be in totality swept out of the government. Yet bizarrely: Trump Keeping 50 Obama Administration Officials. Why on Earth would he do that?
As but one example – Trump is inheriting Patent and Trademark Office head Michelle Lee. Whose immediately preceding gig was the first ever head of Patents and Patent Strategy – for Google. Google's patent strategy – is to steal as many patents as they possibly can. I would like to think the Trump Administration would remove Google's crafter of patent theft – from atop the U.S. patent office.
Despite some lame face-saving attempts at post-election outreach, Google clearly remains vociferously opposed to the Trump Administration and the many anti-cronyism cleanups in which this administration is going to engage.
Obama Administration Google holdovers – are an awful subset of all of the awful Obama Administration holdovers. Leaving any of these residual moles in place – will only greatly hamstring and damage the DC improvements this administration will try to make. ALL of them – absolutely need to go.
And any continued Google lobbying efforts – any attempts to maintain any of their government-crony favors – should be summarily rebuffed and dismissed. While their government-favors – are summarily rolled back and dispatched.
Google has already had all things DC their way – for far too long.

Medal Count Works Briskly at Churchill Downs
Medal Count and General a Rod are ready for a start in the upcoming Belmont Stakes (gr. I) after working at Churchill Downs May 31.
Medal Count and General a Rod are ready for a start in the upcoming Belmont Stakes (gr. I) after working at Churchill Downs May 31.
Spendthrift's Medal Count is Derby-ready
In stature Vicar's in Trouble will be one of the smallest starters in this year's Kentucky Derby (gr. I), but he will carry big hopes for not just his connections but the state of Louisiana as well.
Dual champion filly Beholder coasted to an easy win in her 2014 debut on a hot, sunny Easter Sunday at Santa Anita Park, taking the $75,000 Santa Lucia Stakes from four overmatched rivals.
Medal Count, runner-up in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes April 12, will make his next start in the Kentucky Derby May 3 at Churchill Downs, trainer Dale Romans confirmed April 1.
A Fastnet Rock colt sold to trainer Gerald Ryan for the highest price of $1.3 million ($1,224,972 in United States funds) April 10 before the Inglis Australian Easter yearling sale closed its three-day run in Sydney.
Trainer Dale Romans has liked Medal Count from early on, and Spendthrift Farm's Dynaformer colt rewarded his faith April 4 in the $100,000 Transylvania Stakes on opening day of the Keeneland spring meet.
Perhaps no Eclipse Award category overflowed with more talent than among the 3-year-old fillies of 2013. They performed admirably against each other and then went out and defeated the best of their older counterparts.
Former Spendthrift Farm president Leslie Brownell Combs II died Dec. 29, 2013, in Lexington at age 80.
Recently retired three-time grade I winner Flat Out will enter stud for 2014 at B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm in Lexington. He will participate in Spendthrift's Share The Upside program and stand for a fee of $10,000.
Comments from the connections of Distaff winner Beholder.
Smooth as silk under jockey Gary Stevens, Beholder vanquished both two-time champion Royal Delta and Princess of Sylmar while rolling to an open-lengths victory in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff (gr. I) Nov. 1.
The Jockey Club's 2013 Report of Mares Bred shows a decline of 3.4% in the number of mares covered by stallions in North America compared to 2012's figures. To date, 34,174 mares have been covered by 1,861 stallions.
Grade I winner Liaison has been retired from racing and will stand the 2014 breeding season at B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm near Lexington for a fee of $10,000.
Beholder left no doubt that she is ready to take on the best distaffers on the continent after easily going gate-to-wire in the Zenyatta Stakes (gr. I) against a salty group of shippers and older fillies and mares.
Mandy Pope collected another high-class filly Sept. 11 at the Keeneland yearling sale, scooping the $2.2 million session-topper and sale leader, a half sister to grade I winners Will Take Charge and Take Charge Indy.
A half brother to Super Saver lived up to expectations Sept. 11 when the son of Medaglia d'Oro was purchased by B. Wayne Hughes for $1.7 million at the Keeneland September yearling sale.
Vacation time may be over for Beholder but last year's champion 2-year-old filly simply toyed with her four rivals in the $100,000 Torrey Pine Stakes Sept. 1 at Del Mar.
Top sprinter Jimmy Creed has been retired from racing and will stand stud in 2014 at his owner B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm. A grade I winner by Distorted Humor, he sustained a minor injury to a sesamoidean ligament.
Spendthrift Farm stallion Malibu Moon has been on the rise as a sire, never so much as this year with the Kentucky Derby winner Orb and Peter Pan victor Freedom Child vying for the June 8 Belmont Stakes.
As in years past, 2012 champion juvenile filly Beholder might have been the expected and overwhelming favorite in the Kentucky Oaks (gr. I). But not this year.
Spendthrift Farm owner B. Wayne Hughes had plenty of horses to keep an eye on April 30 during the training time for those preparing for the Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) and Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands(gr. I).
B. Wayne Hughes, Richard Mandella, and Garrett Gomez score stakes double as Jimmy Creed takes Potrero Grande after Beholder wins Santa Anita Oaks.
Compromised by a throat ulcer in her first start of the year, the real Beholder showed up in the $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes (gr. I) March 2 at Santa Anita Park, romping over seven 3-year-old filly opponents.
B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm now will be offering the "Breed Secure" program for nearly its entire roster of Kentucky-based stallions.
Twelve who are making a difference in the industry.
Archarcharch, a grade I winner and Spendthrift Farm stallion, was represented by his first foal, a filly out of the Kingmambo mare Enfiraaj Jan. 12 in Kentucky.
Hot second-crop sire Into Mischief is proving the value of Spendthrift Farm's breeding incentive program called "Share the Upside."
Jimmy Creed, a disappointment in last month's Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I), rebounded with an emphatic victory in the $301,000 Malibu Stakes (gr. I) on opening day of the winter meet at Santa Anita Park Dec. 26.
Spendthrift Farm is introducing its "Breed Secure" program to New York breeders in 2013 through its New York-based stallion Dublin, who is set to stand his second season at Keane Stud near Amenia.
B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm has announced a raise in stud fee for its leading freshman sire Into Mischief, who will now stand for $10,000 stands and nurses during the 2013 breeding season.
Spendthrift Farm leaves its stud fees unchanged in Kentucky and regional markets. The farm has 11 stallions in Kentucky and others at Park Stud (Ontario), Keane Stud (N.Y.), and Elite Thoroughbreds (La.)
Comments from Trainer Richard Mandella and B. Wayne Hughes after Beholder's win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
Beholder ran gate to wire in the $2 million Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park Nov. 2.
Longshot Moonwalk earned a hard-fought nose victory in the JPMorgan Chase Jessamine Stakes (gr. III) Oct. 11 at Keeneland, likely punching her ticket to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. I).
Avalon Rose, a 2-year old filly from the first crop by grade I winner Into Mischief, became her sire's first winner when she rolled to an 8 1/2-length victory in a maiden special weight race at River Downs July 5.
The son of El Prado is expected to recover fully from a twist in his large colon.
Prospective was a tough as a yearling and that attitude seems to be helping him as a racehorse, according to Mark Toothaker.

B. Wayne Hughes' four-time grade I winner Court Vision will be retired following the Nov. 5 TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) and will enter stud in 2012 at Michael Byrne's Park Stud in Ontario, Canada.
Crown of Thorns, a multiple graded stakes winner, will enter stud in 2012 at John and Susan Sykes' Cloverleaf Farms II near Reddick, Fla.
Grade I winner Dublin is introduced to New York, as he prepares to begin his breeding career.
B. Wayne Hughes' Kentucky-based Spendthrift Farm is making its first foray into the New York stallion marketplace. In 2012, it will stand grade I winner Dublin at Keane Stud near Amenia.
Spendthrift Farm announced that it has purchased recently retired Dublin and that the grade I winner will stand the 2012 breeding season at Keane Stud in Amenia, N.Y. The fee will be announced later.
Cash-strapped breeders prefer proven sires over young stallions, making it tougher to launch the careers of new studs.
Looking to rebound from a disappointing effort in the Gamely Stakes (gr. IT) one month ago, Malibu Pier put away three rivals in the $98,000 Beverly Hills Handicap (gr. IIIT) on the Hollywood Park turf June 26.
Archarcharch, who won this year's Arkansas Derby (gr. I) before being injured at the start of the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), will stand the 2012 breeding season at Spendthrift Farm near Lexington.
Malibu Pier rewarded the confidence of trainer Carla Gaines when she scored an impressive half-length victory in the $150,000 Santa Barbara Handicap (gr. IIT) on the Santa Anita grass April 16.

The Tigers are off to an amazing start this year. At 11-2 they have the best record in the majors. The end of last year's season left many Tigers fans wondering what would become of the team. The pitching was in a sad state, and nobody knew how the line-up would look. The off season was kind to the Tigers, and it looks like we are in line for another A.L. pennant.
Tyler Kepner of The New York Times had nothing but praise for the Detroit Tigers organization in his article "As Tigers Evolve, Success is a Constant."
The Detroit Tigers have pulled off a trick that only the best teams can do. Their position in the standings never changes, but their roster continues to evolve.
The Tigers, who host the Yankees for four games starting Monday, rolled into Saturday as the best team in t he majors, winning nine of their first 10 games and sitting atop the American League Central. They have won the division in each of the last four years, earning the 2012 A.L. pennant by beating the Yankees in the championship series.
The Yankees have turned over much of their roster since then, without returning to the playoffs. The Tigers have stayed on top, despite losing 15 of the 16 players they used in the final game of the 2012 World Series, which they lost to San Francisco in a sweep. Only Miguel Cabrera remains.
The Tigers' designated hitter, Victor Martinez, missed that year with a knee injury, and catcher Alex Avila was on the team but did not play the final game. The point is that the look and feel of the Tigers' roster is much different now, yet the team still wins.
"There have been a lot of changes," said Dave Dombrowski, the Tigers' president and general manager. "It's kind of the game that you're always challenged to do: When you have a core group that you try to build around, you try to bring young players in, if possible, because you don't want to end up in a position where you wake up and your club is all older, so you're not able to perform at the same level. It's a compliment to everybody in the organization, in player development and scouting."

Two Banting Fellowships Awarded at IRIC
- UdeMNouvelles
Last month, 70 Banting fellowships were awarded to elite postdoctoral researchers from across Canada and around the world, to provide them with the support needed to conduct world-class research. The scholarships will allow IRIC postdoctoral researchers Hugo Lavoie and Bernhard Lehnertz to pursue their innovative work in the field of cancer research. As Banting fellows, they will each receive $140,000 in funding over two years.
Hugo Lavoie is a postdoctoral researcher in the Intracellular Signalling research unit directed by Marc Therrien. By dissecting the cellular signals that cause the growth of human tumours, Hugo contributes directly to developing new and more effective anti-cancer therapies. His research aims to identify new, promising drug targets in the RAS/ERK signalling pathway which is often deregulated in cancer.
Bernhard Lehnertz is a postdoctoral researcher in the Molecular Genetics of Stem Cells research unit directed by Dr.Guy Sauvageau. Bernhard investigates the regulation of gene expression programs important for normal and cancerous stem cell function in the blood system. He focuses on regulatory genes which are frequently mutated in human leukemias and that organize DNA to ensure cell-type specific gene expression. His research aims to identify promising drug targets for the treatment of blood disorders like acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Dr. Guy Sauvageau, IRIC Chief Executive Officer and Scientific Director, is proud of the recipients as well as the Institute's capacity to attract such young talent. « The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships are Canada's most prestigious awards for postdoctoral researchers," he said, "We are therefore thrilled that not only one but two of our young scientists were able to distinguish themselves!"

Hello everyone. In this blog I will try to analyze the types of supports. There are a few different types of supports, both in utility and in role. In no case we can choose which type of sypport is the best. All types are better at something than others and choosing the "best type" depends on what enemies we will be facing
Let us start to analyze the types of supports as it has to do with their role.
- 1. The 1st type of supports is the "Dedicated Support". This is the most common type of support that sacrifies is life in order to give kill at his adc. He is often poking the enemy adc or support in order to let his adc to farm safetly and engaging 1st at teamfights ( 2v2 or 3v3 at the bottom lane ). He buys wards and items with auras in order to help his adc win the lane and the teamfights. Sona, Soraka and Taric are perfect examples of this type of support.
- 2. The 2nd type of support is the "Ap Support". This type of support can easily go on a solo lane but has
Now lets start analyzing the types of supports as it has to do with their utility,
- 1. The 1st type is the "Hard Assister". This type of support prepare the kills for his adc with hard CC and/or debuffs. Most of them are tanks or facilitate an initiation in teamfight situations. Perfect examples or this type of supports are Alistar, Morgana and ofc Blitz.
- 2. The 2nd type is the "Sustainer". This type of support is the one that has a great ammount of heals, capable at keeping their partner and/or his team at good health. This champion helps his adc to keep pushing or provide help when running out from a gank or teamfight. Perfect examples are Taric, Sona and ofc Soraka.
- 3. The 3rd and last type is the "Preventioner". This ttype of support keeps his ally from harm through the use of shields, debuffs and CC. They share some traits with the other 2 categories above but they don't have that much CC ( silence etc ), or heals. They just keep protecting their to escape from hard situations. Perfect examples of this type are Janna, Lux and ofc Kayle.
Sry about the names i just made them up. I'm waiting for your comments about what i forgot.
