The disconnect between the mainstream image and reality of the modelling world being dominated by able bodied zero sized models and the faces and abilities of everyday human beings is being challenged. The challenger is a modelling agency called Zebedee Management which is representing children and adults with disabilities as the contemporary faces of the profession.
About time too, I say, because since the Paralympics that took place in the UK in 2012 there has not been a game changer in the world of disabilities. The Paralympics represented a huge step forward in the portrayal of people with disabilities as having numerous abilities. That force for change does not seem to have kept its' momentum but, while it is difficult to replicate the grandiosity of the Paralympics, small steps can be made in different spheres of life.
Zebedee's work has the potential to change mindsets and challenge mainsteram views of the modelling world by providing us with alternative images.
Zebedee was set up by a Laura Johnson, a social worker , together with her sister in law, Zoe Proctor, who currently runs a performing arts studio for those with learning disabilities.
"We need more plus size models and there are nowhere near enough older people represented on the catwalk, but the real omission is people with disabilities", Laura explains.
Laura recognises that there are prejudices and barriers in getting disability recognised in a profession rife with airbrushing, zero size and racism.
She is under no illusion that it may be difficult to persuade retailers, designers, production and advertising companies to use Zebedee's models but she does feel that it is about time that having models with disabilities in campaigns became the norm. The demand is most likely to come from casting briefs requesting 'real' people.
Laura further explains that "Casting agents are often undertaking street castings so I don't see why people with disabilities can't be included. There is encouragement coming from the fact that the retailer, Teatum Jones, used some models with disabilities in their show at London Fashion week this year."
"The government minister for disabled people was calling on gaming, fashion and media industries to increase the representation of people with disabilities, so in that respect we have the backing of government. In addition, there has been a lot of discussion around getting more people with disabilities into paid employment - and this is what we hope to do... create opportunities for people with disabilities.I know that it is going to be difficult, but me and Zoe are so passionate about this, we are going to work really hard to make it happen!!"
I, for one, am sick of seeing the same old model faces modelling outfits that seem completely unwearable at prices that I can't afford even if I were to hawk my granny off. So here's wishing Zebedee Management all the very best in bucking the trend.
Zebedee Management can be contacted at email@example.com . If you are hoping to become a model please send in three or four clear photographs.

One American woman's Journey from Conservativism to Liberalism: thoughts on religion and racism
The following is a guest blog post from an American woman, Christine, living in London for whom Donald Trump's presidency has been a life defining moment. I met Christine recently and while we were having a chat it dawned on me that her story will resonate with many Americans who must be having similar introspections.
I grew up in the US with both of my parents, and my brother who is 6 years younger. My family originally lived in an old steel town just outside of a major city. However, following my parents' separation, my mom, brother and I moved to another area. I should explain that in the US, you attend the local public school according to your address unless your family pays for private school.
I was really upset with my parents for selling our house, and for having to leave my friends in order to move to a new school in the middle of 4th grade (age 10). My first elementary (primary) school was quite diverse, with a student population about 50/50 white and African American.
So my first thought when entering my new predominantly-white elementary school was "where are all the black kids?"
I thought maybe they were hidden somewhere. I spent the rest of my schooling in this district, and while there were some minority students, I can imagine that it was a challenge as they stood out. Two of my friends were mixed race sisters but,at the time, we never talked about what it was like for them being two of the handful of minority students in our high school (secondary school). Thankfully, I never witnessed any racially motivated bullying. It was only later that I learned my mother chose our new home, in a mostly suburban and semi-rural area, intentionally.
Apparently there was a lot of what my mom called "racial tension" in our hometown, and she wanted us to grow up outside of that. But the reality is that our old steel town experienced a significant economic hit at the time and this led to rising poverty and crime. Looking back now, I think my parents may have been uncomfortable with minorities and may even have blamed them for the issues in the area.
My mom's parents were from the South, in the heart of Appalachia. Mom was very clear about her awareness that her parents were racists. She had had an experience after a school dance when her parents weren't happy that she was socialising with some black students.
I always thought that in the case of both my grandparents and my parents, their ideas about race were based on ignorance and fear but that my parents could acknowledge that racism is wrong.
During my parents' separation, my mom started taking us to church. They later reconciled and my dad moved home when I was about 13. I embraced the Christian faith for myself during this time but, unfortunately, the church we attended was very legalistic.
For those not familiar with this term, it essentially amounts to individuals trying to force their own personal convictions onto everyone else as biblical mandates. Personal convictions are meant to address an individual's own area of weakness. What resulted was a great deal of a "religious" facade that adults in the church presented when, in reality, hearts were very far from practising actual Christian principles. There was judgement for things like dancing, and the pastor even made an argument for why people shouldn't have the internet in their homes. The hypocrisy between church members' words versus their actions was unbearable to me.
When I reached adulthood and went off to university, I chose a Christian university 8 hours away from home in another state. It was where I needed to be at the time, and definitely helped me to identify religious legalism when I saw it. The social work programme was really amazing, and one professor in particular really inspired the idea of cultural competence in my professional practice.
This and my group of friends at the time led to a lifetime love for learning about and enjoying other cultures: everything from the food, to the music, the language, fashion, social norms, etc. Along with this, one of my biggest passions has always been social justice. Learning about other cultures has helped me to understand how injustices have occurred around the world and impacted vulnerable populations, particularly throughout modern history and into the present.
When it comes to politics, my Christian upbringing in the States meant that I usually fell right-of-centre.
I voted Republican plenty of times, although I was always unhappy with both of the major parties and constantly changed my party affiliation depending on who was running in which election.
I should explain that in my home state, the primaries held earlier in an election year only allow a voter to choose a candidate from the party one is registered with.
My parents have always been solid Republicans, and seem to have drifted further and further right as time has passed--perhaps because they watch Fox News.
Nearly everyone I went to church with (white, middle-class Americans) would almost always be Republicans and therefore politically conservative.
In 2009, I was recruited by a Local Authority's Children's Services in London. Having been looking for a new job for over a year following a long period of burnout in my work, I was anxious for a change of scene and took up the opportunity to move to another country. As you may have discussed with anyone who has moved to London, the amazing multicultural aspect of this great city has been one of the key things that have kept me here.
Although it wasn't in my plans, I met a charming Muslim man and we started dating.
I had always wanted to marry a Christian guy with similar beliefs to myself, and wasn't prepared to change this particular conviction. In the end, I did and we were married in 2011. We have a gorgeous little girl who gets the benefit of a multicultural environment at home and at school.
As you might expect, my views about Islam have certainly changed since I met my husband. This is mostly because I didn't know much about it before he came into my life. I understand a lot more now about politics and sectarianism in the Middle East. In the meantime, my political views have changed as I differentiate between my conservative moral views as a Christian and conservative political leanings in the role of government. I have also seen how the Tory leadership has single-handedly destroyed the effectiveness of Local Authority social services, which is a massive injustice to a disenfranchised, vulnerable population in which minorities are overrepresented.
I'm now left of centre on the political spectrum and, of course, I still feel very strongly about social justice.
I also have a much better understanding of racism in the present, and how my own biases have impacted my views in the past. It's not so much a debate about the "wrongness" of racism, but of recognising it when others dismiss it as something else entirely.
My parents were certainly surprised at my choice in partner, but they presented with acceptance. My mom has been to London several times to visit us, but my dad hasn't met him in person. In the first few years, dad was convinced that my husband was keeping me captive to prevent me from travelling and would someday kidnap me and move to Lebanon.
In reality, it was my husband's immigration status which kept us from getting a passport for our daughter. So I didn't go home to visit the US for about 4 years. When we were finally able to sort this out, my daughter and I visited twice in 2016. In the meantime, my dad was finally able to have a conversation with my husband over Skype, and dad seemed to be won over by how much my husband loves me.
However, I was really thrown when discussing the 2016 election with my mom.
I was completely shocked to learn that my parents supported Donald Trump once he got the nomination.
We have differed on political views for a long time, but I thought that surely they were intelligent enough to not fall for his lies and that their moral views would turn them off to his obvious corruption, let along his misogyny, racism, xenophobia, etc. So mom and I had exactly one conversation about this before the November election before it became an off-limits topic. I was disgusted when my mom posted a photo of my dad wearing a Trump t-shirt on Facebook. I have never seen them support a candidate this strongly before.
I was also really surprised at the number of (white) evangelical Christians who voted for Donald Trump.
It's as if all people cared about was to stick to party affiliation. Their defense of him is absolutely disgusting and reprehensible. I'm happy to say that many of my own friends back home who fall into this demographic did not vote for him and openly speak out against his nonsense.
My daughter and I went home for Christmas especially to see my new nephew. I noticed that my dad immediately shut off the television when there was a report about police brutality against a black person and I made a comment about it. His reaction implied that he didn't believe this is a real issue. Later during our stay, the issue of Trump's proposed Muslim Ban came up and my mom insisted that he wouldn't do it because, "it's illegal."
So fast foward to about 2-3 weeks ago. I couldn't stand not talking about this issue with my mom, given everything that has happened and all the insane things that Trump has already done and said. So I tentatively brought it up by asking if she still supported him. To my horror, my mom said that she did. When I asked what exactly she supported about what he's doing, she replied "everything."
This was after the Muslim Ban had gone through. I then tried to explain why I felt we couldn't return to the US to visit them until after this is settled (and hopefully he is out of office), as I posted on Facebook about it. She cut me off, which is totally out of character for her, got a terrible edge to her voice and said "that's your choice." I was crushed. Completely devastated. I ended the conversation and haven't spoken to her since.
For the record, of course my daugher and I could go to the States any time.
I simply don't want to visit the US without my husband yet again. I want us to be able to travel together as a family.
Although my husband's country is not included in the (currently suspended) travel ban, I was already on edge about the idea of trying to get him through US immigration. He has a very obviously Muslim first name and would be travelling on a passport from his home country. I think there's a pretty good chance he would be stopped, if not detained, given the current climate under Trump. There is no way I would put him through that, nor let my young child witness that. So for me, it's not a "choice" as my mom puts it so much as a sensible need to keep my family safe.
Trump's rise to power, and the continued support from his party in Congress, has been absolutely traumatic to me.
To see my country divided, and right on the brink of fascism, is so shocking.
Not only is it infuriating but I also have to grapple with my own family. Their stance is a source of tremendous shame. I'm frustrated that my attempt to discuss it with my mom failed so miserably. Their particular support of the Muslim travel ban (let's face it, that's what it is) communicates a very clear message to me that my parents' acceptance of my husband has been superficial and obligatory all along.
They may not have meant it that way, but their failure to speak out against the Trump/Republican racism and xenophobia, to even acknowledge it, is incredibly painful.
Although I don't believe that every Trump supporter is racist and/or xenophobic, I have suddenly come to terms with the likelihood that my parents are indeed racist and xenophobic. I could previously accept our political differences but I cannot accept this as it is deeply personal and so far beyond politics.
I have no idea how things are going to get better from here in terms of my relationship with my mom, because there is absolutely no acknowledgement about the impact of Trump's policies on my own family (not just my opinion). But it breaks my heart to think that my daughter might not be able to continue the same relationship with her grandparents that she has had up until this point.
I do have hope that things will get better on the larger scale, however. I'm getting more involved with events that are happening around London in response to both the US and UK politics, and it's been a joy to involve my daughter as well. I've needed it for personal reasons in addition to wanting to do something about social injustices. We attended the Women's March in January along with the march against the Muslim ban earlier this month.
I feel that given the state of things, the words of Desmond Tutu apply now more than ever: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
London mum and social worker
P/S Jane, author of this blog, and I are hoping to start up a women's group for mums who want to get involved to make a difference in their local communities. We'll be attending the Stand Up to Racism march on 18/03/17 alongside a few other mum friends. I hope to see you there. Let us know if you want to join us specifically under the banner of Mothers Against Racism.Please email Jane at firstname.lastname@example.com

Trump's Facebook Foreign Policy
Donald Trump met with Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, at the Whitehouse on 16 February to discuss the two-state solution and other matters. Both men gave a press conference at which Trump made the following profound statement:
"I am looking at two-state and one-state and I like the one that both parties like. I am very happy with the one that both parties like. I can live with either one...If Bibi, If Israel and the Palestinians are happy, I am happy with the one they like the best"

What a meaningless photo taken in the Oval office
|Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump and Justin Trudeau
"A great discussion with two world leaders about the importance of women having a seat at the table! "
The following are reasons why I think this photo is utterly meaningless and is, frankly, a bore too:
1. There was a woman running for President and, yes, most of the world did think that a woman ought to have been in that seat.
2. There is no point having a woman sitting on a seat at the table if that woman is told to 'dress like a woman'. The former is a good idea but is negated by the latter direction. Where's the logic?
3. The woman sitting in the photo above is the President's daughter. If that's the extent of the push for women having seats at tables then...what a load of nonsense. It is women sleeping floors and serving at restaurant tables that need help, not mega-wealthy silver spoon in mouth types.
4. The reason why many women don't get seats at tables is because of structural misogyny - related to Point 2 above.
5. It is a photo that smacks of immaturity. It is the sort of thing that daughters do when they visit Daddy at the office. Sitting on Daddy's chair is a great thrill. Note- these daughters are normally below the age of 12.
6. I am so bored with this that I am going to finish this post right here and go off to watch paint dry.

Community radio is the best thing since sliced bread
Today is 'World Radio Day' and it marks the success of how radio is a mega important means of communication by reaching into parts of the world and communities that would otherwise be forgotten. The deregulation of radio licensing has resulted in many community radio stations being established.
Last year I signed up with K2K radio and it feels as if I have a new phase in life. Community radio is the manifestation of the Latin aphorism 'Carpe Diem'. 'Seize the day' if you have something to say. Sign up at a community radio station.
I seized my day and am a co-presenter at K2K radio. I present in a trio with two other friends and our show is called 'Me, Myself and I'. My co-presenters are Geoff Payne and Pauline Pearce. We broadcast on the last Wednesday of every month.
Our next show is on 22 February at 8 to 9pm. We discuss politics, feminism and anything that is topical. Geoff is our smooth and cool DJ and he plays Ska music. Join us on our Facebook page.

Mothering confessions on Twitter
'I accidentally threw my daughter's foundation away #badmummy'
I still feel rotten about it. In my defence, I thought it was an old bottle. It was a #badmummy moment. I didn't tweet about it but all you have to do is to look at the #badmummy or #badmommy Twitter hashtag stream to appreciate how many mummies feel bad about their mothering.
What makes mothers take to a media platform to let everyone around the world know about their perceived 'bad' mothering?
Is it because it is cathartic to do so? The mum blogsphere are a supportive lot with a large amount of empathy and, in many ways, it's not a surprise that mothers feel a need to reach out to others to gain some sort of validation that will, as they see it, absolve them.
In 140 characters a domestic chaos can be turned into a piece of humour. After a couple of retweets the mother feels so much better about herself. She has validated herself and is free from the 'shameful' moment. The Twitter helps a mother own up and be forgiven.
However, twist the Twitter mother confessions around and you will see that it is mother shame in reverse. Mothers get shamed for a myriad of things and some examples of this are not breast feeding one's baby, not cooking healthy foods every day and so called 'letting' one's child run around a supermarket even though that is what kids do.
Even when we, as mothers, know that the social expectations of us are nigh impossible we still castigate ourselves when we perceive ourselves as having fallen far short. It would be an underestimate to say every mother has, at some stage, felt like a bad mother. Blimey! my daughter is 17 and I still feel guilty for sending her to school on Easter Bonnet day (about 12 years ago) with one bought off Amazon while the other girls turned up in home made hats that resembled an Easter egg hunt taking place in a field full of daffodils. If Twitter had been around then I would have tweeted a picture of the dismal hat and called myself a '#badmummy'.
Online maternal confessionals has become a regular enough phenomenon for it to have warranted a chapter in a book called 'Taking The Village Online: Mothers, Motherhood and Social Media'.
The chapter, titled 'Confession in 140 Characters', is written by Lorin Basden Arnold, a high flying academic at the State University of New York, who has undertaken research in online parenting communities.
|Demeter Press: $24.95
Arnold analysed a number of tweets using different hashtags which all related to being 'bad' mummies and concluded that four different themes were evident: Bad mothering as happiness harm, bad mothering as excessive self-focus, bad mothering as a failure of maternal devotion and bad mothering as inappropriate emotional response to mothering.
Taking each theme in turn, firstly, Arnold defines 'happiness harm' as being "bad mothers are mothers who do things that make their children unhappy". An example of this off Twitter is as follows:
So my daughter has decided she wants to be Lambie from Doc MsStuffins for Halloween...only everywhere is sold out #badmom
Secondly, 'excessive self-focus', according to Arnold, is about "mothers behaving in ways that suggest they may be prioritizing themselves rather than focusing on the needs and desires of the child". An example of this off Twitter is as follows:
Helping the girl with her religion homework. Drinking wine. #badmom
Thirdly, 'failure of maternal devotion', Arnold says occurs when "even when not particularly focused on the self or causing express harm to a child's happiness, mothers can still assess their behaviour as a failure to show adequate levels of devotion to the tasks of mothering". A Twitter example as follows:
I was up at 4 so I overslept this morning and missed saying goodbye to my kids on their first day of school #badmom
Lastly, Arnold cites 'inappropriate Emotional Response to Mothering' as a self inflicted negative response by mothers. "Mothers assessed themselves negatively when they did not feel the way they 'should' about their children". As an example:
Oh sweet heavens...Josh has his first loose tooth. It's killing me not because he's growing up, but because it grosses me out. #BadMommy
This examination of online maternal exposure of mother guilt is certainly worth a read if only because Arnold has managed to drill right down to the very essence of mothering which involves bucket loads of guilt. I, for one, recognised my 'guilt' when I read the chapter which goes into a lot more detail and introspection than I have blogged about here. It will touch a raw nerve with mothers.
I am going to finish this blog post on a really ridiculous note. My daughter is on half-term school holiday and will be spending the whole week revising for her A-Level mock exams. No room for guilt you would think? Wrong. I always take her out to either watch a movie or a play and I can't do that this week. I am well aware that it's not my fault but that does not stop me from feeling bad. The only silver lining is that i can now evaluate this negativity as stemming from 'failure of maternal devotion'.
I cannot take my daughter out during half-term because she is revising for exams #badmummy

You will need to present more specific facts and details about this situation in order to establish that the design at the national hardware store is in fact your invention, and that the invention company stole your idea. Your best option is to contact a patent attorney.

Devon & Associates | Marcia A. Devon
You should consider bringing a lawsuit for fraud, breach of contract. breach of a confidential/fiduciary relationship, conversion, patent infringement (if you have a patent) and that is "just off the top of my head." Did you have a confidential disclosure agreement with them? Did you file a patent application with the USPTO? Usually those invention companies offer to take care of that for you at an inflated price providing less than competent legal assistance. Consumers should be very aware that these companies are often not acting in their best interest and offer services at grossly inflated prices. Consumers should always inquire as to the track record of the invention company: How many inventions/patents have they been associated with that have made money?

Question: You have a new home business You sell a consumer
You have a new home business. You sell a consumer product for which you have a patent. You believe there will be much demand for it. To pro- mote it, you decide to purchase a list of 2,000,000 email addresses of people who fall in the demo- graphic groups that are likely to purchase the product. The seller told you that these were only addresses of people who did not opt out from receiving messages from businesses.

A Chibchan-speaking people related to the Kuna of Panama and the Muisca of central Colombia, the Tairona inhabit the modern Magdalena and La Guajira Departments of northern Colombia. Their city of Teyuna was founded sometime around 500 BCE. The Tairona, living in a mountainous area, built stone steps and terraces on steep hillsides in order to farm the region. Though they fought against the Spanish for 75 years, eventually they succumbed to the various pressures that all Native American peoples were subject to during this period.

Texting has surpassed phone calling as one of the most popular forms of communication in the modern age. Most manufacturers have perfected the craft of creating functional devices that are inexpensive to build. With each iteration, messaging devices are becoming more inexpensive to develop and build for consumers.

After handling it, I couldn't get past the cheap-ness of the device. But for people looking for a low-budget texting phone, this will do, for now. When the Samsung Magnet comes out though, it will dominate this thing.

+++ Title: "Luke is Speaking" (The Prodigal Son)
+++ Speaker: Bro. Stephen Wilber
+++ Date: 04-14-1985
+++ Venue: Pinecrest BTC, the Sunday morning service following Easter.
+++ Remarks:
--- 2 minutes - Luke 15 - The parable of the prodigal son.
--- 6 min - The father divided his goods to his sons. He made a covenant with them. -- God made a FIRST covenant and His people didn't abide by it. -- God made a SECOND covenant and His people aren't abiding by it (that's us). --That's why we are here this morning - to come into a right relationship with His covenant for us.
--- 14 - The parable of the prodigal is "the perfect story, perfectly told", telling us what the Father is like. He is a GIVING father.
--- 16 - Steve can see the story of Lucifer reenacted:
-- The son's changing attitude as he shifts his focus away from the Father's face. -- The son should have asked in his father's NAME, asking for wisdom regarding WHAT TO DO with this wealth.
-- Instead, the son takes this wealth and SEPARATES it from the father, taking it away.
-- "Stolen power" - God gave it and yet Lucifer stole it.
-- Broken relationship.
-- The SAFETY of Father's house, where you won't be DESTROYED by the gifts of prophecy, healing, etc. (as so many have been).
--- 22 - When the enemy tempts Bro. Wilber, Steve wants to tell him all about how Jesus walked all over him at the cross.
--- 22 - The one-word epitaph on a tombstone: "Kept!". When this son left the father's house, the father went WITH him.
--- 24 - The word "prodigal" means "wasteful". He lost everything, including himself.
--- 26 - "Far country". God sent a mighty famine to THAT land.
--- 27 - Cain (Gen. 4) - "A fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth." "My punishment is greater than I can bear."
--- 29 - In the Father's house, there is NO END to the supply of fatted calves!
--- 30 - Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
-- The believer is always forced into the inferior position.
-- The prodigal joins himself with a citizen of a far country and takes on the role of a swine, going lower and lower and lower.
--- 37 - The prodigal has played various roles, but is now coming all the way down to his true self. -- The lost SON-SHIP!! -- He declares that he is UNWORTHY of sonship. "...no longer worthy to be called thy son"
--- 38 - As soon as he comes to himself, he thinks of his FATHER.
--- 39 - Steve differentiates STRANGE WOMEN from your one lawfully wedded wife. If you divorce her, she becomes a strange woman, and all other women are are also strange women.
--- 42 - Father's house exerts a PULL upon us. -- John 6:44 - "No man can come to me except the Father who hath sent me draw him". -- In the mire of a pig pen, he feels the PULL of father's house! -- When God would save a man, He draws him with more power than it would take to create ten thousand universes. -- And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me.
--- 47 - As the son went though all of his mutations, his father's hand was ever upon him. -- His father saw him before he saw his father.
--- 49 - Many people in the church are UNWILLING to be called from SERVANTHOOD up into sweet SONSHIP.
-- When you take someone fresh out of the pig pen, it can be risky, but the sweet savor of the Father's grace EXTINGUISHES the smell IMMEDIATELY. The matter of salvation is so urgent that it can't wait for the son to take a bath first.
--- 52 - The older brother HAS TO ASK what the sound of music and dancing MEANS. -- Those who are stuck in servanthood can never understand music and dancing. It is reserved for SONS. "Lo, these many years have I served thee..." For all of these years, the elder brother has been a STRANGER in his father's house.
--- 55 - How many church people reject the rejoicings of Father's house? The true operations of God's grace can be socially disruptive.
--- 56 - Song: "Touching Jesus is all that matters".
--- 61 - Joan Forde closes in prayer.
--- 62 - Steve announces that Barbara Massie will be ministering in chapel that evening.

I don't think Nathan Kress is the type to troll fans. And yeah this is old but I think it proves that Sam and Freddie will be together post arc.
"There's going to be more than one episode dedicated to that developing relationship and what we decide to do and how it affects the others. It'll be very exciting and I think the fans will be really happy." - Nathan Kress
That was at the iPWV premiere and the whole ARC had been filmed. Prior to the season he also said that it's safe to say there are more Seddie fans than Creddie fans in a CleverTV interview. So would he really say the fans would be happy if Sam and Freddie were not together? I really don't think so.
What he said in the TigerBeat interview about Seddie and Creddie is no different then what he said...prior to the filming of the season in the CleverTV intervew....and what he said in another interview at the iPWV premiere.
So some are acting like Nathan made it obvious they are not together after the arc in that Tigerbeat interview. My point is while that is possible. It is no different then what he has said twice in the past. He just gave his preference that he isnt for either. No indication thats what happens in the show.
Also I find it funny Nathan thinks Seddie or Creddie would change the dynamic but somehow Sibby wouldnt. lol. So he is sort of a hypocrite in that case. The dynamic has changed forever regardless of what the outcome of the ARC is. Change happens in life. Not everything stays the same forever. People evolve.
My point is....I just want to make clear....what Nathan said was just what he want's to happen. He also made that clear in a iPWV premiere interview after saying it would change the dynamic. Nathan said something like "But it's not up to me." So that proves what Nathan is saying is the same thing he has said before. It's his PR Answer.
Here is that video. Where he says the quote i bolded and when he says that it's not up to him after saying he doesnt want the characters to be permantaly attached dating wise. From like 1:47 - 2:50 in the video is when the stuff is said.

The Voice of the Finishing Industry since 1936
This is just a sampling of additional highlights from NPE2012.
Yarde Metals showcased the 'lighter side' of mold products aluminum mold plate. Aluminum molds offer faster machining, improved cycle times and mold machine life, in addition to being lighter to then steel. Featured products included QC-10 2" through 20"; M-1 and M-5 through 30" thick; K100-S, MIC-6, ALCA-5, 2024 through 6" thick; 6061 through 16" thick; 7075 through 12.
AMPCO Metal, Inc. showcased its two high copper based alloys—AMPCOLOY® 940 and 944—recognizing that the plastic injection mold industry is a key market segment for the continued growth of the company. Each alloy is beryllium free.
SIGMASOFT demonstrated its Virtual Process and Mold Development software, which uses a "Finite-Volume-Method" to quickly and easily integrate all available geometry and process-related information at every stage during the product development cycle. The meshing of the simulation model is completely automatic and doesn't involve additional rework.
With its family of products, Autodesk demonstrated the value of doing more simulation in-house—to validate and optimize your designs before releasing them to the shop floor—as well as design analysis throughout the design process—to change and improve designs to meet customer needs—via the technology in the Autodesk® solutions for digital prototyping.
StackTeck (Brampton, ON) manufactured the four-cavity mold for the Ritemp™ demo in the Sumitomo-Demag booth—provided by Mold-Masters who has formalized an agreement with Ritemp Technologies. This cell showed a Ritemp hot-half and a cold half. Through this patented evaporative cooling technology in hot runner applications heat is extracted from the mold by converting it to latent heat of vaporization. The resultant vapor rises to the top of the mold where it is condensed by simple heat exchangers.
Tech Mold (Tempe, AZ) supplied the mold for Mold-Masters' launch demo in the CBW booth for the Melt-Cube, Mold-Masters' new side gate product. Melt-Cube is a new linear side gating system that allows for 20 percent higher pitch density than circular systems and is designed for easy tip replacement in the press.

Future Outlook
How hard is it to become an CEO of Business? It's very hard of course but the path itself is slightly easier than you might think.
How many CEO jobs are there? There are millions of CEO jobs for business because every business has a CEO.....
Does a CEO have a long future, or does it have the possibility of dying away? Being a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is managing the company. Some are good, some are not so good. If the CEO runs the business the right way, it will prosper and can become very profitable. On the other hand, if the CEO makes mistakes it can hurt the whole business. If the mistakes are bad enough, the business will fail and be no more.
Being a CEO has many benefits, such as a company car and if large enough even a private jet. Also they have their own office which they can pick any decorative furniture they want not really having to pay attention to price. CEO's usually have a security guard and several other security features in their business and home.They also have great health benefits and usually retirement packages. Due to the complex nature of their compensation packages, chief executives are often provided with tax preparation services paid for by their employers. Most of the time when they are fired, they get a severance package they involves big sum of money.
Similar Careers
Vice President, President, COO(chief operating officer), Asst. Vice President, District manager
Why did I pick this career?
What interested me was the fact that I like conducting business and being a leader. I have never backed down from making the hard decisions whens others tend to. I am career driven and ready to work my way up the ladder of the corporate world.
I believe I would be good for this because I've been told I'm a leader, I like taking charge and making risks for the better. I would like this job not only for the good compensation and benefits, but it is also something I see my self doing and enjoying.

Skip to comments.How Cornyn, Alexander beat back tea party challenges, and Cochran didnt
Posted on 06/06/2014 5:51:26 AM PDT by cotton1706
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) chose a military metaphor to his approach: My strategy was the same as Norman Schwarzkopfs in Desert Storm: overwhelming force. We didnt want to have a fair fight.
For Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the key is a constant presence all over his state. The most important thing to do is stay connected to the voters, Alexander said.
After five long years of experimentation, veteran Senate Republicans now say there are a few clear paths for easily beating back a tea party challenge. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) took a separate route and now finds himself in a desperate three-week sprint against a GOP state senator, hoping that the Republican establishment will prop him up against an onslaught of money from Washington-based conservative groups.
Cochran was thrown into a June 24 runoff against Chris McDaniel after both men fell short of the 50 percent threshold needed to win a primary in Mississippi. If Cochran loses, it will happen at least in part because of a campaign that bears all the hallmarks of a veteran who had no feel for modern political combat or a full grasp of insurgent challenges to the GOP establishment. He would be the fourth Senate Republican to lose in a primary since 2010.
Publicly and privately, Republicans are bemoaning the incumbents campaign operation, from the candidates own stumbles on the stump to his lack of preparation for the race. Cochran would be the first incumbent senator to fall in the 2014 primary season, and, despite conservative activists fielding an unprecedented number of challengers, no other GOP incumbent is imperiled.
As Cornyn, Alexander and other Republicans demonstrated this spring, it did not have to be this way for Cochran.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Alexander? Not so quick! Give us time.
Cochran feels entitled to win after all these years. He didn't even have the common courtesy to show up and thank his supporters. I hope that showed how he feels about them and they go for Chris.
Comes down to one thing - money. Do *not* donate to any GOPe-affiliated entity. Give to vetted Constitutional conservative orgs only, if moved so to do.
"...and, despite conservative activists fielding an unprecedented number of challengers, no other GOP incumbent is imperiled. ..."
No other incumbent imperiled, huh?
Not until the election day write-in campaign that is, any way.
They should contain their smugness.
Never occurred to these guys that maybe, they aren't representing the base of the party. No mention of not realizing they are out of step with their base, just how to beat the base. This is why conservatives holding their noses and voting Liberal(R) over Liberal(D) is doing more to destroy the party and the country than simply not voting. Anyone wants to know what the GOPe thinks of the base, this is it. This is why I will never go to the polls for another rino.
The article happens to be useful for Democrats as well for defeating Tea Party opponents. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
MS Ping
That's what I see in McDaniels and Ernst. When confronted, they got better, much better at articulating their views. When Bevin and Chicarelli (as two examples) were put to the test, they just didn't know how to win.
Quite telling that Cornyn considers his primary opponents as an enemy that needs to be crushed.
Go Joe Carr! Go Tennessee! Beat Lamar(!)
Alexander? Not so quick! Give us time.
Hubby and I will NOT vote for Alexander this time. Although we are not "fired up" at all about Carr...we'll vote for him as a protest against Lamar.
Tennesseans should be ashamed. They are capable of much better.
Money and a complicit media.
"Did you notice there's nary a mention of South Carolina?"
As you know, I do a daily search for stories. It seems there has been a media blackout on the South Carolina race unless it's a positive story about Graham or a favorable poll.
We'll see what happens on Tuesday but as of the latest poll, Graham (despite all his ad bombardment) is STILL under 50%! And with Texas and Mississippi wind at our backs, we're moving on to South Carolina.
I hope we prevail in taking out this vile oligarch.
Really, it's a fair criticism of Cochran and he does seem to have had some ambivalence regarding his own desire to run. An incumbent has some distinct advantages and if they have tons of money it is very hard to defeat them - yet not impossible. I would love to see Canter and Graham defeated. It would be a political earthquake of Biblical proportions but the chances of it happening are not in our favor. The problems in America come down to a crisis of morals and demographics. The further into the future we go the greater these two issues work against us. At some point our side is going to be overwhelmed. It's why these primaries and the 2016 elections are so hugh. In the past when our country faced hardships there was often a return to faith in God and a dependence and submission to him. In the future the product of real hardships seem more likely to be anger, resentment and rebellion - giving government an even greater role. Christians, Jews and Tea Party types will very likely be in the crosshairs to an even greater extent.
Part of the problem is that Conservatives are so disillusioned that they'll quickly flock to anyone who is challenging a GOPe incumbent.
This is what happened with Bevin. I heard very few arguments based on what he stood for; most were revenge-centered on taking out McConnell and teaching the GOPe a lesson. Which is actually the same thing I saw with Mourdock going after Lugar last cycle.
There's a great old saying that you will never get ahead by getting even. Outsiders like Cruz, Paul, etc ran and won on the strength of their policy and ideological positions. Not because they were promising to stick it to interparty rivals. That's a very good lesson for us Conservatives to learn in choosing what candidates to support.
If one of them had to go, I wish it was Cornyn, an evil man.

april 16 was a very sweet day for some upper west side kids, when a traveling mobile maple exhibit visited manhattan as part of the annual maple in manhattan day. the event was sponsored by the new york state maple producers association, and included visits from state sen. thomas duane and assembly member linda rosenthal. elementary school kids from p.s. 166, p.s. 9 and p.s. 87 watched a demonstration of maple tree tapping and syrup production, and viewed an exhibit about the history of maple farming in new york. everyone got to enjoy free samples.
in 2009, new york produced more than 362,000 gallons of maple syrup, according to the usda. only vermont (920,000 gallons) and maine (395,000) produced more.

Seriously boss. No kidding. Feels odd without a background though, would love to see you expand this piece. Also, I like the way you silhouetted the left limbs, but are the lights on the greaves and vambraces asymetrical? Otherwise we should see the lights on his right shin at least... Outstanding job overall though. Thanks for sharing!

Baccarat Crystal, located in Baccarat, France has manufactured glassware since 1764. Originally production consisted of mirrors and windowpanes until 1816 when crystal ovens were produced. During this time, Baccarat employed more than 3000 workers. In 1823, Baccarat began its first commission, which led to a series of commissions for royalty throughout the world. During the late 1800s, Baccarat's expanded in scope and the company began producing chandeliers, barware, perfume bottles, glass paperweights, and quality stemware. Baccarat's perfume bottles became the strongest area of production for the company. They produced over 4000 a day. With the end of the Imperial Era in 1867, Japanese imports began to have a stronger influence on Baccarat's work.
Baccarat crystal adorns the world's largest chandelier and lines the staircase of the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul. In 1948, Baccarat created an American subsidiary in New York City. Stores are located in California, Connecticut, New York City, and Las Vegas. In 1993, Baccarat began making jewelry and expanded into perfume. Since being acquired by Starwood Capital Group in 2005, Baccarat announced its expansion into luxury hotels, which feature the company's crystal chandeliers.

Terrible. I'm throwing it away; it's that bad. Doesn't block shine at all. However, it Does not make dark skin look gray.

Still, can't for the life of me find a decent facial primer since Dior decided to d/c their Pore Minimizer primer. I'm what you would call extremely oily. Everything gets oily and shiny in just 10 seconds of washing my face. I'm tired of powdering and blotting my face, even in the dead of winter. I need a primer that will keep skin oil free ALL DAY but not make foundation look crackly and cakey.
Despite the poor reviews, I decided to try this primer anyway. Yes, it is gritty and has a slight grainy texture to it. Being NC40, the white cast wasn't a problem. I think people are just using too much perhaps? I use a 1/2 of a Lesuer pea size for my entire face. I will say that it does give average oil control. I was pleased with the level of control. I don't like my face to look completely matte but I also don't want to fry an egg on it. I struggle to find that youthful healthy skin finish. I would say this primer does help achieve that finish. However and this a BIG however, it does make my face, especially under my face, cakey. It makes the texture of my skin a bit haggard up close. Because of this, I'm returning and going to try the BECCA matte one next!

BEST primer for oily skin!!! This primer comes in a tube that is 1 fluid ounce. It is white but I am fair skinned so I do not see a white cast left on my face from it. It does have a slight gritty texture so I PAT it on my face, not rub since I don't want to exfoliate and it works like a charm. It contains all of my oily t zone for almost 8 hours which high end brands have yet to do. It costed me about 10-12$ and I purchased it at Walgreens.
The tube claims to control shine all day with or without makeup, extends the wear of makeup, matte finish, and won't over dry skin or clog pores. Since I am acne prone, I have to be cautious what I put on my skin. This does not cause me to breakout or give me any rashes. I do not find the smell of this bothersome but it doesn't smell like roses. I work in a restaurant and this stuff holds my makeup up for quite a long time!!

Like a lot of other reviews say, this has a super gritty texture. It honestly does help with my oily skin though, more than any other primer I've tried. But sometimes it dries out my skin so I switch over to a more hydrating one. But hydrating and mattifying are not for the same skin type unfortunately

This is the only primer that is actually effective in controlling the shine on my face throughout an 8-hour work day, and this includes high-end primers too. I have super oily skin that shows tiny droplets of oil from my pores within 30 minutes of washing my face. My friend gave me two of these four years ago, casually saying she bought too much of it. In hind sight, I think my t-zone was just super terrible ;)
It's a simple, no-frills sort of cream in a squeeze tube. It's super thin, and maybe not as smooth-feeling as some other primers. However, I like that because it doesn't interfere with any foundation you put on top of it. I think the active ingredient is rice starch, which is something that's used in dry shampoo to combat oily scalp too, and this primer is one of the very few that contains this. I only need a tiny pea-size amount for the whole face, so it lasts a long time. It's not the cheapest for a drugstore primer, but it's so effective for me, that for once, I don't really mind. I've tried various oil-controlling products to keep my face shine-free, from ELF to Rimmel to Smashbox, but this Neutrogena one is the best.

Yes I is a bit grainy but it is the best drugstore primer I have used. My skin is very oily and with this primer I'm mostly shine free for the whole day. I recommend this product.

I'm a bit surprised by the reviews on this primer because I have very oily skin and it is so good at controlling shine.
When I ran out, I decided to try the NYX photo finish primer, smashbox, and a couple others and I ended up going back to Target to buy this one.
Yes the texture is grainy but that serves a purpose, also you should be using a very tiny amount on your face not smearing it on like lotion.
I love this primer a lot, it's great when I'm not even wearing MU and I am writing this review because I think every oily skinned person should try it.

My face does nothing but spew oil all day long like every pore is its own little oil rig. This is the only thing I have found that actually makes a difference. Like WOW I couldn't believe how controlled the oil was. And for those who complained about it being gritty- you have to put a dime or nickel size amount on your fingertips, and lightly slap it on all over your face (DONT SMEAR IT LIKE LOTION). There will be little grits, but let it dry a min and then gently brush any of the grits that are still on your face, what you're left with is total oil control, perfect matte face to work with. I just apply a lil concealer and powder and I'm good to go all day. I can't believe it, this stuff has changed my life. I literally gasped when I looked in the mirror hrs after first applying it, matte!!!!! That word isn't in my vocabulary, but it is now!!

Update: I stopped this primer because my skin was breaking out, and once I stopped, my skin calmed down. I put this on today and yesterday and I can literally feel the blemished rising from my pores. It's really gross. In the trash it goes!

Besides the huge sum it owes to many credit institutions, farmers, and social insurance, Binh An Seafood JSC, or Bianfishco, is indebted to 10 other individuals and businesses, the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho's government announced yesterday.
At the meeting to publicize the debt-stricken company's liability state , Vo Thanh Hung, head of the inspectorate team formed by the municipal government, cited the latest figures as saying that Bianfishco's debt has been enlarged by VND27.7 billion (US$1.32 million). Earlier the beleaguered company was found to have an outstanding debt of VND1.54 trillion ($73.9 million) to nine banks, a credit institution, and a number of farmers on fish purchase. "The total assets of the company were some VND2.07 trillion, with short-term capital worth VND1.18 trillion," said Hung, citing audit results conducted in 2010. Between its foundation in 2007 and April, 2011, Bianfishco posted stable business operations, with annual contribution to the Can Tho budget worth $42.8 million in 2010, and $47.6 in 2011, said Hung. The company began to face financial hurdles and sink into debts in mid-2011, thanks to tightened credit and the divestments of many banks. "The company's poor and haphazard investments in non-core sectors are also to blame for the debts," stated Hung. At present, Bianfishco is running a large number of facilities in Can Tho, including a catfish processing plant with daily production of 500 tons, the Binh An Institute for Aquaculture Research, a 10,000-ton freezing warehouse, a by-product processing plant, a collagen producing factory, and a center for producing fish breeds. "Bianfishco is calling on banks to extend its liabilities, or reevaluate its assets to increase the loans to be offered to the company," said Hung. No bankruptcy announced yet Nguyen Thanh Son, Can Tho city chairman, said no move or consideration has been made to prosecute Pham Thi Dieu Hien , the company's former CEO, or force the company to declare bankruptcy. "Everything must be done as per law," said Son. The chairman said Can Tho city will always be willing to assist Bianfishco to overcome the crisis, but the company has refused to cooperate. "[Bianfishco] must show the financial report for 2011 in order to resolve the problem." The idea was shared by Hung, who said solutions can only developed based on the financial report. "The municipal authorities have also developed plans to handle the case if the company goes bankrupt," added Hung. Hien still in the US Regarding the public skepticism on whether or not Hien, the company's former CEO, is receiving medical treatment in the US, Nguyen Huu Loi, deputy standing secretary of the municipal Party Union, said authorities have yet to fully acknowledge the case. Meanwhile, Hung said Hien is still in the state of California, despite the fact that the city's government has ordered her to return to settle the debts. He added that while Hien has reportedly authorized her husband, Tran Van Tri, to assume her CEO post at Bianfishco, the authorization has yet to be notarized, as required by law. "Bianfishco's board of directors should complete all necessary procedures for the authorization," urged Can Tho people's committee. "In case they fail to do the task, it is ordered that Hien come back to Vietnam to handle the case." The municipal government also ruled that Bianfishco propose the most effective plans to settle its debts to farmers and other institutions. "The company should also discuss with banks and its shareholders a restructuring as per law," it said.
