CFU Club Championship: First Round Review
The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship has reached the conclusion of the first stage but the tournament had plenty of difficulties before a ball was even kicked. Two teams, Elite SC and Bath Estate FC, withdrew from the competition while Defence Force had immigration problems which forced them to play in another group within the tournament. Despite the various setbacks there was still plenty of football played and "Stoppage Time – International Football Blog" reviews the tournament so far:
Puerto Rico's River Plate won this group with a 100% record after clocking up wins against Haitian team Racing de Gonaïves and the two Netherlands Antilles teams CSD Barber and Hubentut Fortuna. Once River had defeated the Haitian side 3-1 in the first game then the outcome of the next two games were never in doubt due to River's superior squad. River Plate went on to beat Hubentut 5-1 and CSD Barber 4-0 to top the group while Racing qualified for the next stage finishing in second place one point above CSD Barber in the standings.
This group was reduced to only two teams after Guyanan representatives Defense Force were forced to transfer into Group D because they were unable to obtain entry into Puerto Rico due to strict immigration regulations. This meant that the two teams remaining in the group already knew that they had qualified for the second round before a ball had been kicked but the two teams still had to play two matches in order to determine rankings and placings for the second stage of the competition. Puerto Ricans Bayamón FC sealed the first spot in the group having won the first match against System 3 FC by four goals to nil in the first game and securing a 2-2 draw in the return game.
Two-time winners of the CFU Club Championship Joe Public FC from Trinidad & Tobago easily topped the group with a 100% record in Group C after wins over Avenues United (St. Vincent & The Grenadines), Leo Victor (Surinam) and Devonshire Cougars (Bermuda). There was a fight for second when Avenues United defeated Leo Victor 3-1 in the final game of the group but it turned out that the losing Leo Victor side had the best record out of those teams that finished third in their group and, thus, also qualified for the second stage.
Bath Estate FC from Dominica withdrew from the competition before the start and were replaced by Guyana's Defence Force FC. However the Guyanans didn't have a happy time of it in this group losing to both Walking Boys from Surinam and table toppers Alpha United FC in their group games. With the top two teams drawing 1-1 in the group's second match it was down to overall goal difference to decide who finished where and it was Alpha United who emerged triumphant with a goal difference of +2 in comparison to Walking Boys' +1.
The second stage will see three new teams enter the tournament as they had a bye from the first stage. Puerto Rico Islanders are last year's CFU Club Championship runners-up and they are joined by current Haitian champions Tempête FC and San Juan Jabloteh, whose best finish in this tournament was in 2003 where they finished in third place. The second stage, which is to be played from April 13-17, will consist of four groups of three with the winner of each group going into the third and final group stage:
GROUP E: Puerto Rico Islanders (Puerto Rico), Racing de Gonaïves (Haiti), Alpha United (Guyana)
GROUP F: Tempête FC (Haiti), Avenues United (St.Vincent & The Grenadines), Bayamón FC (Puerto Rico)
GROUP G: San Juan Jabloteh (Trinidad & Tobago), River Plate (Puerto Rico), Leo Victor FC (Surinam)
GROUP H: Joe Public FC (Trinidad & Tobago), Systems 3 (St.Vincent & The Grenadines), Walking Boys (Surinam)

Hi, my name is Teresa White! I live in Ada, Oklahoma, and am sixteen years old. I'm a junior at Ada High School. I'm a passionate vegan and I love to cook and bake!
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and moved to a small town in Michigan when I was four. There, I had a lovely childhood and attended public school all the way through my sophomore year of high school. I have a lot of interests and hobbies, but in the past few years, I discovered a huge passion for both veganism and for cooking.
All of a sudden, I was reading food blogs whenever I got the chance, devouring articles and books about nutrition, cooking and baking as a hobby, and photographing my creations. At the same time, I was listening to podcasts and reading articles about veganism and animal rights that totally changed my perspective on the food we eat and why we eat it.
All these things, especially my love for bloggers/blogs in general, pointed toward a vegan food blog of my own… so I started The Kale Storm, and I am loving it!
Some of my all-time favorite blogs are Chocolate-Covered Katie, Oh She Glows, and This Rawsome Vegan Life. I highly recommend that you check those out for some amazing vegan inspiration and fun writing!
I hope you enjoy my blog ❤

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - The rain has come and gone, but if you picked up sandbags in preparation for Barry, chances are they might still be lying around your home or business.
The good news: you had sandbags to help protect your property. The bad news: now you have soggy sand and are unsure what to do with it.
Dick Gremillion, Director of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said the sandbags could last you a while.
"The good news about sandbags is they'll last for 8 months to a year so if you have sandbags right now they should last you through this hurricane season."
However, not all sandbags are equal. In the case of Hurricane Barry, which had scattered affects across the state, some sandbags saw high water and others not so much.
"The Lake Charles area just missed that heavy rainfall it fell mostly in the northern part of the parish but it could have easily been Lake Charles or Sulphur or Carlyss or anywhere like that," Gremillion said.
So here's what Gremilion says you can do if your sandbags did not come in contact with flood water.
- Use the sand on landscapes or flowerbeds
- Recycle the bag or place in the garbage.
Remember only the bag, not the sand, should be kept for future use.
If flood water did reach your sandbags they could be contaminated with sewage, oil, and other bacteria. You'll want to dispose of those sandbags properly by bringing them to your nearest solid waste center.
Officials warn to not place sand or full sandbags in the trash or on the side of the curb because public works will not pick them up.

Last month, Spanish telecom giant Telefonica SA (NYSE: TEF) reported a 5% increase in the fiscal 2017 first-quarter income, compared to the similar period last year. The net profit for the period increased 42.2% on y-o-y basis. However, the organic operating income missed analysts' estimates. That deterred the stock's appreciation. However, we expect a rally to begin soon due to reasons mentioned below. The stock of Telefonica last traded at $11.31 in the NYSE.
The Madrid-based company reported 1Q17 revenues of €13.13 billion, compared with €12.51 billion in the same period last year. The first-quarter 2017 profit attributable to equity holders increased to €779 million, from €548 million in the first-quarter of 2016. On a per share basis, earnings increased 48.8% to €0.14, from €0.09 last year.
Excluding depreciation and amortization charges, the operating income of €4.02 billion in the quarter ended March 2017 was higher than €3.84 billion reported in the year-ago quarter, but lower than analysts' estimates of €4.06 billion.
Segment wise Telefonica Latin America reported impressive revenue growth. Revenues from Brazil jumped 30.2% y-o-y to €3.165 billion. In the Hispano-American markets, revenue was €3.29 billion, up 7.6% on y-o-y basis. In Latin American markets, Telefonica competes with large telecom operators such as AT&T and America Movil.
The Telefonica Europe reported a marginal increase in revenues. Revenues from Spain, which is the largest market for the company, increased 5% y-o-y to €3.07 billion.
As of March 31, 2017, total customer access lines stood at 346.8728 million, down 0.1% y-o-y. However, mobile access increased 0.8% y-o-y to 274.0556 million customers. Likewise, on a y-o-y basis, internet and data access grew 0.7% to 21.6578 million users. The number of LTE customers jumped 72% y-o-y to 75.4588 million and represented 29.1% of total mobile accesses. Similarly, Fiber and VDSL subscribers increased 20.8% y-o-y to 9.5806 million.
Net cash flow from operations increased 24.3% y-o-y to €2.743 billion. Free cash flow after dividends, was €74 million in Q1 2017, compared with a negative €658 million posted in Q1 2016. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of March quarter was €7.39 billion, an improvement from €2.813 billion reported in the prior year similar period.
Net financial debt at the end of first-quarter was €48.77 billion, a decline of 2.6% on y-o-y basis.
Telefonica announced that it continues to expect FY17 revenues to remain flat compared to FY16 revenues. Thus, considering the strong growth in revenues, an increase in mobile access customers, and reconfirmation of FY17 revenue guidance, we expect the stock to remain bullish.
The historic price chart indicates consolidation of the stock at 11.0 levels for the past two months. The MACD indicator is moving above the zero line, while the money flow indicator is rising. Furthermore, the stock is trading above its 50-day EMA (exponential moving average). Thus, technically a rally is expected soon.
In order to ride the trend, we would like to invest in a high or above option contract which expires on or around June 14th. To limit risk, we wish to make a bet when the stock of Telefonica trades near $11 in the NYSE.

|Forum Home > For King/Queen and Country. > Tom Lawrence, the V.C from Bewdley.

Worcestershire Hero of the Boer War.
There won't be many of my age, who haven't had a day out at Bewdley, either having a picnic by the River, Fishing, or just idling away a pleasent day of your Holidays. When the river was high enough, there were boat trips as well, and the buses bound for Ludlow passed through here as well. Into the world, on the 9th November,1873, at the Kidderminster Hospital, came one Tom Lawrence, destined to make a mark on military history. The family lived at number 15, Lower Park, his first job, at the age of 17, after his Grammer School education in Kidderminster, Tom was a clerk in his father business; but it wasn't to last, and Tom went off to join a very famous Regiment, The Duke of Cornwalls Own, The 17th Lancers. He turned out to a exceptionally good horseman, and quickly rose up the ranks until in 1898, he was promoted Sergeant. The 17th Lancers were put on standby in late 1899, for trouble had begun in South Africa, and it was yet another chance for the Regiment to live up to it's nickname, " The Death or Glory Boys ". While not in the thick of the action this time, the Regiment played it's part, and patrolled across dangerous territory. Just how dangerous, became clear, when on a two man patrol on the 7th August, 1900, Sergeant Lawrence and Private Hayman came under fire from a party of Boers about 14 strong. Haymans horse was killed in the exchange of fire, and he sustained a dislocated shoulder when the horse rolled over him. Dismounting, Sergeant Lawrence helped Hayman into his horses saddle and set him off for their unit for assistance. He then took Hayman's Carbine and ammunition and with his weapon as well, held the enemy off until Hayman was out of range. Now on foot, he continued to exchange fire, and began a fighting retreat, making sure the enemy could not surround him. This went on for over two miles, when at last help arrived, and the Boers were driven off. It was a totally unselfish act by Lawrence, and won the praise of everyone in the Regiment, for the display of sheer courage. It did not go unrewarded, for after being mentioned in dispatches, he was awarded his Country's highest honour. He had to wait awhile though, for the War dragged on, the old Queen died, and it wasn't until the Cornation, in 1902, that he received his Medal from the King.
Now you would think that that was enough excitement for one man, and you would be wrong, for continued his career with the 17th Lancers, being promoted to Lieutenant Lawrence, and a place as Riding Master at their base camp in Tidworth, Hampshire. In 1912, he was part of an unsuccessful riding team at the Olympic Games, and when war broke out in 1914, he was back to active service with the Regiment in France in 1916. They were manly used for trench warfare, but the horse's were used in action at the Battle of Cambrai, in 1917, again in the German Spring Offensive in 1918, and again in the counter attack, at the Battle of Amiens. Now for reasons I havn't discovered, he underwent a name change after the War, becoming Brian Turner Tom Lawrence, and finished his military career with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence. To put a cap on a remarkable story, in 1939 he was back in uniform, although this time I suspect, not on the back of a horse. ( Mind you, Captain Mainwaring did it ) After the War, he set off for the British enclave in Kenya, where a great many former Officers went, and died there, on the 7th June, 1949. Give the man a thought, next time you go over the pretty bridge into Bewdley, he certainly deserves one or two.
Photograph and Medals can be seen in the " Faces from the Past " Album, in the Gallery.

There are so many Black Country men who served their country with distinction all those years ago and sadly their names have long been forgotten. It is good to see Tom Lawrence VC remembered and is a reminder to us all, of the sacrifice some are prepared to make for their mates!

The place that I went last night was simply amazing... The creativity to make a space like this is simply astounding, and if you haven't ventured over there, I would really suggest that you take some time and head to C i c a... The land of the stick-men!
My creative juices were flowing, inspired by this place and I loved the look that I had put together on Rudh, so I spent ages taking masses of photos... Then I was creative in how I worked on them, and finally I got stuck choosing between which photo I liked better, so I decided to show both hehe...
Have another photo, LOL...
Today has been more than a little busy, I've been a bit of a naughty girl by lying to Hellywelly about what I got him for his birthday. I've been on a roll being slightly evil - Fledge dubbed me the Queen of Evil and bowed down to my super villainy LOL - but maybe it's due to the fact that the little dead girl is the one in control at the moment. She pushed the kawaii version of me way down deep inside and has been dancing around with stick-men and playing in the falling heart rain before being attacked by birds!
If you haven't been to C i c a, don't miss out on it, and don't forget to grab your free butterfly pet by the main landing point - rescue one from the cage... I did!!!

Oil steadied after a third weekly loss as predictions by Saudi Arabia and Russia that crude markets will rebalance vied with signs that US companies are drilling even more wells.
Futures added 1.4% in New York after sliding 3.8% last week. Inventories are declining and reductions will accelerate in the next three to four months, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said at a briefing in Kazakhstan with his Russian counterpart, Alexander Novak.
Russia is committed to doing everything it can to balance the market, Novak said.
Oil is trading below $50 a barrel amid speculation increased US supplies will counter production curbs by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) and its allies, including non-member Russia.
American drillers targeting crude added rigs for the 21st straight week, the longest run of gains in three decades, according to data Friday from Baker Hughes.
"The bigger picture remains one of still-elevated inventory levels and only limited progress in drawing down excess stocks," said David Martin, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in London.
West Texas Intermediate for July delivery rose 62 cents to $46.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 11:37 London time. Total volume traded was 21% above the 100-day average.
Prices increased 19 cents to close at $45.83 on Friday, trimming the weekly decline to 3.8%.
Brent for August settlement climbed 60 cents to $48.75 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. Prices lost 3.6% last week. The global benchmark crude traded at a premium of $2.14 to August WTI.
Global crude inventories will settle at their five-year historical average - Opec's target - before the end of the year, Al-Falih said in Astana. Still, Saudi Arabia, the group's biggest producer, may modify its policy if output cuts don't have the desired effect, he said.
Oil-market news:US drillers increased the rig count by eight to 741, the highest level since April 2015, according to Baker Hughes.
Qatar, the focus of a diplomatic dispute with Saudi Arabia, is committed to production cuts under the Opec-led agreement, according to Qatari Energy Minister Mohammed Al Sada.Read Fin24's top stories trending on Twitter: Fin24's top stories

Did Abraham Really Have Camels?
Feb 2, 2019
I do love research. Here is a fun question to ask if the conversation lags at your next get-together.
Did Abraham really have camels?
In Genesis 12:16 Abraham was given camels by an Egyptian king. "The king was good to Abram because of Sarai, and Abram was given sheep, cattle, donkeys, slaves, and camels." Later Abraham's servant takes ten camels from his flock and heads out to get his son Isaac a wife.
The problem is scholars believe camels were not domesticated in Canaan until much later. Two archaeologists from Tel Aviv University, Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen, stated that accoding to their research, camels were not domesticated in Canaan (Israel) until the late tenth century BC (900 BC). Abraham lived around 2000 BC and the Mari Texts back that up.
Many use this information to conclude the events in Genesis were written during a later time period from oral traditions and some information, like owning camels, was added to the story and made up. It's an effort to claim the Bible is inaccurate and National Geographic noted that in their headline. "Domesticated Camels Came to Israel in 930 B.C., Centuries Later Than Bible Says."
Here is the truth. Abraham got the camels in question from an Egyptian not a Canaanite. Abraham was not a Canaanite. He came from Ur, where camels were domesticated and apparently he knew what to do with them because he may have already had them.
It is an archaeological fact that two humped camels were in use near modern day Turkmenistan and in Mesopotamia's Ur region in Abraham's lifetime. They are referred to as elephants of the road, elephants of the mountain and donkeys of the sea in ancient inscriptions. These camels were in use in modern day Pakistan and Iran and some scholars think these camels may have been the source of the Egyptian king's camels! Martin Heide has written about it here.
Does this prove the research by Ben-Yosef and Sapir-Hen wrong? No. Domesticated camels do not seem to have been common in Canaan or owned by Canaanites, and the Bible never said they were.
A Canaanite king also gave Abraham livestock. He gave him sheep and goats. Not camels. "And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham." (Genesis 20:14) Abraham's son Isaac never left Canaan and he is only mentioned as having large flocks of sheep and goats.
But his grandson Jacob traveled back to northern Mesopotamia near the Syrian Turkey border and became the owner of camels. "In this way Jacob became very rich. He had large flocks, many servants, camels, and donkeys. " (Genesis 30:43 ERV) He didn't have camels before because in Genesis 32:10 he said all he had owned was a walking stick but by verse 14 he's counting out over thirty camels to give his brother.
Whether Isaac sold Abraham's camels or Abraham's other sons inherited them, Isaac may not have kept camels but Jacob did, and he had to bring them back into Canaan from Mesopotamia.
The moral of this tale is—
The Bible accurately shows which cultures were using camels, what regions they were getting them from and what type of camel was domesticated long before the archaeological data was unearthed. That is more detail than anyone realized.
Why that's important: You can rely on God's word to be truth.
What are you hoping to be true in God's word concerning you? He has said all His promises are, "Yes and so be it." Don't let doubt steal what can be yours.

"I decided to do a super quick wash today."
As I was cowashing and not shampooing today I didn't prepoo. These are the steps I followed:
1. Jumped in the shower and saturated my hair in two sections using my shower filter.
2. Applied Dove Daily Care Conditioner (used this up) and left in for 2mins.
3. Rinsed, squeezed out excess water and then applied deep condtioner mixed with Roux Porosity Control mixed with AOHSR and left on for 3-5mins before rinsing.
4. Put a TShirt on my head to soak up excess water for 15mins
5. Applied leave ins of Elasta QP H2 Leave in Conditioner, Wave Noveau Finishing Lotion, sealed with grapeseed oil followed by Giovanni Frizz Be Gone.
6. Air dried in two sections. I'll moisturise and detangle before bed.
Like I said, this was a super quick, no muss no fuss wash day!! It felt good not having to spend hours on my hair an still have the rest of the evening to spend with my BF.
That's all folks!

KLEINLab a Small Laboratory in Amsterdam
Every week I visit MiLK magazine's blog it is a guaranteed hit … keeping me updated for the latest in the world of design for kids …this week Milk introduced me to kleinlab from Amsterdam.
A unique and extraordinary type of daycare … focusing on the the child as a researcher, individual and powerful human being. Kleinlab's vision is based on the theory of Reggio Emilia.
Their website opens with a quote by Einstein: "When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking" ~Albert Einstein~ Scientist (1879-1955)
I believe Kleinlab is trendsetting in their way of decorating the rooms, their approach, vision and style. I would definitely consider bringing my kids here. It all seems so fun and experimental. which would keep my boys focused and concentrated for a long time. Less is more seems so appropriate here! …

We are so happy and proud that they bought lots of playstuff and accesoirizes in our shop (famstore.nl)
And beautiful photografy too!!

I am considering selling it on Ebay and purchasing a DSLR. I am leaning toward the Nikon D5600. Does anyone else have experience with this camera? Is there another camera that you love? I'm an advanced beginning, but on a budget.

So my skin has changed over the last 3/4 months and I keep getting a rash which doesn't sit well with me, as I have never stuffed with bad skin in all my years or living to be honest I don't even know if I've had a rash/spotty face that has had me this stress before. I have tried everything and know I'm caving in at the seams *emoji scream face*. I did notice that when I use my Kiehls midnight Recovery Oil I break out to the point of itching where I know have marks from itching in my T zone area's, anyways I was doing my daily Pinterest scowling and came across some Lush products and thought I give them a try.. Now it has been a while I have been using the Lush products but I didn't want to do a review on them as quick as I think I did the Kiehls review. I have grow fond of ALL of them and I can Honestly say these will get purchased again when I run out *side note: The Dream Cream was purchased for the BF but he did tell me what he thought of it*.
I got 5 Products (all pictured below)
Queen Bee.. this was for my hair, although I didn't intend to buy anything for my hair as my skin was/is my main concern right now.. but talk about doing exactly what it says.. it even lay my edges..it feels like coconut butter, palmers coconut butter (Wayyy back in the day), you know the hard one you soften in the palm of your hands. This I use mostly at night when I wrap my hair up to go bed it made my hair feel so soft and not just for a few hours but all day, it smells like great too and it lay perfect for any style the next day.
BB Seaweed. This definitley made a impact on my rash and although when I took it off it looked like it highlighted them more within a few minutes my face was less dry and flakey and back to how it use to be moist and none spotty and the fact that you keep this pot of gold dust in the fridge meant that is was cool and refreshing on my skin.
*Before I get further into my Lush Products, I did steam my face for about 5/7 minutes before I used the Lush face masks, although not all the time I did do this as I wanted to open up my pores and let the masks sink deep within my skin*
Moving on...
Mask Of Magnanimity- This was My favourite, although you don't have to keep it in the fridge I didd put this in there, the peppermint smell and coolness of this also keeper my skin feeling great and full of life again, it slowly calmed down my spots and now flakey dry skin and made me feel back to my usual self without worrying to much on why and how my skin has suddenly changed, this worked magic on my face.
The Last 2 items are soaps: Movis, its like a little slice of bread- seriously lol Im taking it's named after Hovis bread- which is also nice bread aha, but this is like a gentle but firm exfoliator for my face which is good if used every other day I mostly liked using it when I got home or just before I go to bed, I also loved massaging it into my hands and loved how soft they got after washing, its like it took the died skin of my hands and made them youthful again- believe me working with harsh paint and leather a lot can slowly damage your pretty hands.
The Other soap is Called 'Sea Vegetable' to be brutality honest with you I bought this on the way to the till and only because I loved the colours as it reminded me of the bright blue sea.. but after using this I can say that I love the squeakiness it loves on my body after a good shower, and I do love its earthy smell, it basically like being aboard on the beach or best still how it would smell if you was in a herbal Essence Ad lol.
I also attended Birmingham Beauty Show and had my skin looked at by a Demonologist and was given a free sample pack of there clay mask and a few other things so Im going to give this a test as every now and again I still seem to break out.. I need to get to the bottom of this and find out 'What Exactly has Happened with my Skin?

What an oversized office! I'm only just starting to realise how big this library is, Rogier made it sound so small earlier.

We profile three amenities that will amp up your luxury travel experience.
By Kirsten Niper & Kimberly Turner
Options abound when it comes to transportation. But luxury travel calls for panache, style and enjoyment. Setting the tone, bonuses such as fine interior fabric, chrome-plated wheels or smart technology systems allow for relaxing and satisfying travel. However, the more unique amenities, which incorporate home-like qualities to your experience, bring traveling in luxury to a new level.
Etihad Airways makes a home in the sky, providing the services of a Savoy Butler Academy-trained butler, a world-class chef and a VIP concierge team that handles all aspects of travel for the two guests of The Residence, who are ensconced in their own apartment during their trip. It will launch in December 2014 on the London to Abu Dhabi route, with four more launching in 2015 on different routes. "The Residence has literally taken the world by storm… Since the May announcement of its upcoming launch, we have already received bookings for our first flights, which begin at the end of the year," says Calum Laming, vice president of Guest Experience at Etihad Airways. A round-trip flight on the London to Abu Dhabi route is $43,239 for one passenger or $21,620 each for two passengers.
A Zen-like Train
Arriving in speed in Japan is easy with the country's famous bullet trains, which can travel at speeds of up to 199 miles per hour. Relaxing in extra comfort and style will now be possible with a new carriage in the train that will feature two banks of seats with 8-foot-long tubs in which passengers may soak their feet, facing the windows so they can take in the views as well. Train company JR East will launch the practice in The Toreiyu train, which will be the first bullet train dedicated to hospitality.
Additional relaxing features include tatami mats, which are traditional soft floor coverings associated with Japanese nobility and designed to make it comfortable to sit on the ground.
Bentley's Mulsanne features striking design elements, such as the diamond-quilted, leather-trimmed cabin. But, what truly makes this vehicle unique is the option for an electrically operated bottle cooler, complete with hand-blown and hand-cut lead crystal champagne flutes. The rear cabin storage area includes space for two full-sized champagne bottles in a canted position, allowing opened bottles to be placed back in the cooler. With one touch of a button, the frosted glass door slides open to reveal three crystal champagne flutes, displayed by white LED accent lighting. The flutes echo the racing spoke design of Mulsanne's 21-inch 5-spoke Sports alloy wheel and were exclusively created for Bentley by renowned British designer David Redman of London.

Vote!!! The Game may be the most accurate simulation of the political process to date.
In case you've missed the wailing and chest thumping that's currently flooding the media, the US of A is currently gearing up for a presidential election. The problem is, while people love talking about elections, they're not so good at taking part in them; the States has a notoriously poor voter turnout record.
Epic and Chair are doing their part to promote democracy by releasing Vote!!! The Game, a free iOS "cartoon-style political slugfest," which pits political caricatures against one another in Infinity Blade style sword fights.
Like Infinity Blade before it, Vote is essentially a modern rendition of the classic Punchout formula. Players can choose from a selection of political personalities, including cartoon versions of both Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, outfit them in ludicrous costumes and have them beat the snot out of each other with microphones, sparklers and balloon swords. It's essentially a more dignified version of the actual presidential debates.
Vote was made at the behest of Rock The Vote, an organization that strives to get young Americans off their couches and into the voting booths. During its 20-plus-years of operation, the organization has managed to register more than 5 million young voters, 2.5 million of which registered for the 2008 election.

D.C. Bar Remembers Trailblazing Judge
By Jeff Leon
January 17, 2019
Judge Patricia Wald, the first woman to serve as chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, passed away from cancer on January 12. She was 90 years old.
Born on September 16, 1928, to a working-class family in Torrington, Connecticut, Judge Wald attended the Connecticut College for Women on a scholarship and was able to attend Yale Law School through a fellowship from Pepsi-Cola. At Yale, Wald was one of only 11 women in a class of 200, recalling in a 2007 interview with C-SPAN that while women students were segregated from the men in housing and were usually called on more frequently by professors during discussions on more sexually charged cases, her professors were encouraging. Judge Wald graduated from Yale in 1951.
Establishing herself in Washington, Judge Wald focused on public interest law, specifically bail reform and family law, and made some notable contributions in those realms. In 1964 she co-authored a major study on the state of bail and criminal law, Bail in the United States: 1964, with law professor and Justice Department attorney Daniel J. Freed. The book was influential toward the passage of the landmark Bail Reform Act of 1966. She also wrote Law and Poverty, 1965, and after a short term at the Department of Justice, joined the Neighborhood Legal Services program in 1968.
In 1979 President Jimmy Carter appointed Wald to the bench of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and in 1986 she was appointed chief judge, the first woman to serve in the role. Judge Wald remained in the role until 1991. During her 20 years on the bench, Judge Wald authored more than 800 opinions on issues including separation of powers and administrative law. In a 1995 interview with the D.C. Bar, Judge Wald shared that an opinion she was particularly proud of was a justice case in agriculture, pushing the Department of Labor to enforce toilet and drinking water regulations for migrant workers.
"From early in her career, Judge Wald worked tirelessly to promote equality for women, those with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ community. She fought for the underdog when it wasn't always popular or convenient," says Robert J. Spagnoletti, CEO of the D.C. Bar. "She truly is one of the legends of the law and her presence in the legal community will be sorely missed."

Home Improvement Ideas You Can Use Today
The way people take care of home improvement project can say a lot about them as a person. Many people enjoy home improvement because it is exacting and exact.
Do not allow your contractor to start the work prior to signing a contract. You may also want to have the contract to your lawyer so he can look over it.
A fresh coat of paint is the quickest and easiest home improvement that anyone can do is painting. Fresh coats of new color can add fresh energy to a house look brand new. A new coat of paint will also make your home all together.
Don't get rid of bathroom doors simply due to a dirty appearance. Remove the door from its frame, and sand them down to the bare wood. Then buy some oil paint you like and paint your door with a paint roller. For a new feel, try getting doorknobs that look fancier.
Insulating your attic should help you reduce your wintertime heating costs.Heat tends to rise and without proper attic insulation; it seeps out of heat is lost in the fall and winter season in houses with poor insulation. You can buy this insulation at hardware shop and you will be able to install it yourself.
When you are remodeling a room that has a lot of moisture, like the kitchen and bathroom, consider replacing the walls with something more water resistant.
Almost any material you purchase to make home improvement are targets for a thief.Keep all building supplies in a safe place when you are not working on something. If the doors and windows of the structure can be locked then supplies can be stored inside. If the house is not secure, then consider renting a storage container with a good lock on it.
Move your furniture away from your walls to make the room appear bigger. This makes it seem that the room is larger while giving it a more modern and contemporary appearance.
Choose a color scheme that already exists in the room. It could be upholstery fabric, curtains or an area rug that you decide to use to build a color scheme. If you are the owner of a multi-colored rug, choose the dominant color. The other colors can be utilized as accent colors.
New blinds are an easy home improvement project that will surprise you at the difference it can make.
You should drain all of the hot water heater once every six months. A properly maintained heater will have greater longevity and run more efficiently too. Just attach a hose to the drain value and release the spigot.
Make sure you perform regular maintenance on your home's septic tank.There are products available to help accelerate decomposition process.
Make sure your budget as comprehensive and accurate as possible.
Be flexible with your home renovation projects.You may have a date in mind, but it can take longer than you thought. You may only have a little bit of money for something, however there are times where costs will exceed your expectations.
The best way to go about this would be to work on the project at designated times or when less people are in the home. You want to avoid any additional stress added to that you are already working hard.
One of the first things that you need to take into account when starting a home improvement project is how to dispose of debris.Make a plan ahead of time about where you'll store the unwanted trash until it can be hauled away, or even a rented dumpster.
Have you recently counted the handles on your home's door handles? Consider replacing the door handles for an updated look.
Consider using white or light-colored tiles when you're replacing your roof. Lighter tiles minimize the amount of heat absorbed which will keep your house cooler, which will make your house cooler overall.
It may be hard work to do improvements, but it will pay off in the end. No matter what skills you have, you can enjoy your endeavor. The following suggestions can help people of any experience level.

Introduction: Music Bear
Have you ever gotten annoyed at those talking stuffed animals and wished they could say something YOU wanted them to? Like part of a song? Here is one way you can do that
Step 1: Things You Need
You will need:
A stuffed animal (of course)
A voice module (got mine from Radioshack) with a 9v battery
Razor Blade
Step 2: Cutting the Bear
First take your razor and cut into the animal where its voice module is. Mine was in the arm. Remove the voice module from the animal.
Step 3: Recording Your Music
Take your voice module and hold it near your source of music, in my case it was a computer speaker. Pick your song and record it. Mine could only do 20 seconds but it was enough to get what I wanted. I recorded the intro to "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'n' Roses. Make sure the music is loud enough to hear from inside the bear.
Step 4: Inserting the Module Into the Bear
Place the module inside the cut you put in the bear. Make sure the button to play the music is easily accessed so you can push it when you want to. There you have it! You now have a musical bear!

text: HUD reaches agreement with California landlords resolving claims of discrimination against Mexican applicants March 24, 2016The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced today an agreement with a Cupertino, California-based property management company, its agents and the owners of a Santa Clara apartment complex to resolve allegations they discriminated against applicants based upon their national origin. HUD alleged that the Salwasser Group, Inc. (doing business as Income Property Specialists) and property owners Gary and Mary Drieger discriminated against prospective renters by refusing to accept Mexican forms of identification, while encouraging a Canadian passport holder to apply for an apartment. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in rental, sales or home lending transactions based on a persons national origin. This includes discrimination based on a persons ancestry or country of birth outside the United States. Where a person is from should not influence the housing options that are available to them, said Gustavo Velasquez, HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. The Fair Housing Act requires property owners to treat everyone equally and HUD will continue to take action when they fail to meet that obligation. The case came to HUDs attention when Project Sentinel, a fair housing organization based in Santa Clara, filed a complaint after performing fair housing testing that allegedly showed that the owners, through the management company, discriminated on the basis of national origin by refusing to rent, and imposing different terms and conditions regarding government-issued forms of identification.Links: FULL STORY at california.realestaterama.com Read more about HUD reaches agreement with California landlords resolving claims of discrimination against Mexican applicants


text: Biological control is a plant protection strategy widely-used in horticultural cropping systems to regulate insect and mite pest populations on greenhouse-grown ornamentals and vegetables. The use of natural enemies in controlling the SWD has been researched in Chapter One. Chapter Two aims to recover the history and present the current status of the biological control of fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha and to show perspectives of the use of such method. Chapter Three discusses the advantages and issues affiliated with using natural enemies in conjunction with pesticides and provides insights on the practicality of using both plant protection strategies simultaneously. Chapter Four describes screening methods for candidate biocontrol agents, application methods and challenges associated with biological control of fungal pathogens by antagonistic microorganisms.

We are looking for a candidate with the following work qualifications: Hard-working, self-starting, multi-tasking team player who seeks and gains consensus from team members, and brings a passion to the position.
Oh, is that all?
A cursory reading of the above job ad seems to make sense. But upon closer inspection, what are all these work qualifications the ad calls for?
A multi-tasker? How does one know if he/she is a multi-tasker? And if you are one, is it better or worse than bringing "a passion to the position?"
Wait, isn't there scientific evidence that states people cannot multi-task?
Why yes, there is.
Which begs the question, if multitasking does not exist, why does the ad request it? What other work qualifications in the ad are questionable?
Below are potentially over-rated, yet frequently requested, work qualifications.
Since when does true work performance get better when juggling multiple projects versus focusing on one project at a time. One can focus on several projects at different times in the day, but working on multiple projects at the same exact time seems that it would lead to very poor results.
When you focus on one task, both sides of the prefrontal cortex work as a team. When you multitask, each side of the prefrontal cortex attempts to work separately.
You may think you are doing two things at once, but you are simply switching between each side of your brain. This switch is quick, but it adds up. It may take you up to 40 percent longer to complete simultaneous tasks than if you were to focus on them individually.
Consensus Building
Employees want to be heard; they want to feel their opinion counts. Therefore, consensus building is one work qualification that addresses the needs of employees.
There is even a book that discusses the wisdom of crowds in decision making.
However, many people believe that strong decision making involves narrowing poor options. And with consensus, that means disappointing someone.
This theory believes consensus favors the average and vanilla, never the innovative, and risky.
Working Hard
Jason Selk is author of Organize Tomorrow Today, which helps readers stop being busy and start being productive.
Mr. Selk has a problem with hard work as a work qualification. He believes this qualification to be one of the most over-rated business concepts out there because working smart, not hard, is productive.
He states "Every human being has the same number of hours at his or her disposal per day. It is not how much a person can get done within those hours, but what a person can get done. I have seen so many people exhaust themselves completing tasks that have little to no impact on their success."
Successful people cannot get everything done in the span of one day, but they get the most important things done each and every day.
Passion for your Work
Mike Rowe, the host of Dirty Jobs had interesting advice for graduates in a video commencement speech: "Don't follow your passion."
He gained his knowledge from his show on Discovery Channel.
"When people follow their passion, they miss out on all kinds of opportunities they didn't even know existed."
Rowe has met hundreds of people "who followed opportunity, not passion, and prospered as a result."
A team of psychologists at the University of Michigan provided new insights into the relationship between passion and work.
The team found that around 70 percent of people believed passion is about matching a personally rewarding skill with work that uses this skill.
The other 30 percent believed that passion for a type of work develops over time.
The job ad that opened this piece apparently was not interested in people who may develop passion.
Future Work Success Is Hard To Quantify
Some of these work qualifications considered over-rated may surprise some, however they probably should not. Especially when you look around and see the number of successful people who lack the above work qualifications, but seem to be excelling at their jobs nonetheless.

I am Thankful For....
These people are the family that you choose for yourself.
My friend, Donna, made this nativity for me. Last year I wanted to purchase one at their church bazaar and another lady got the last one. So this year Donna called me up to give me first pick!! Donna and husband, Mike, have a house at the beach in Jacksonville, FL. She and her husband enjoy picking up pieces of wood that wash up on shore. They use them to make various crafts. Donna molds the people in the manger scene from clay! Didn't she do a great job? Even the little lamb is so sweet. And the church bazaar is this Friday! Marvin is taking the day off so he will drive Miss Arlene to the bazaar and to the store.:) I have been calling him Hoke. ( If you like the movie Driving Miss Daisy, you will get my drift.) Well He is my best friend...just like Miss Daisy assured Hoke.
There is a 70% chance for rain in north Georgia on Saturday according to one of my Facebook Friends. Lets all pray for that rain to come and help with those fires. The Rough Ridge Fire is the one that is near my hometown. It has burned 20,000 acres and is still just minimally contained. This is in the Cohutta Wilderness and thankfully no homes have been threatened at this point. As far as I know there have been no deaths or injuries among the fire fighters.
Our little friend , Kayleigh met her Savior yesterday after a six month struggle with DIPG brain tumor. Her funeral will be Friday afternoon. Please pray for this family as they grieve their loss but celebrate Kayleigh's healing in heaven. Kayleigh's story has reached many people and I am sure her funeral will be standing room only.
I am taking it easy again today. I am feeling much better but I am not going to let that make me go crazy doing all the things I think I can do. Slow and Easy wins the race.

That Nativity scene is wonderful, your friends are very talented! You are smart to take your recovery slow and easy -- I would probably get frustrated and try to do too much too soon so you're an inspiration for me! Praying for Kayleigh's family. I have been following their story on Facebook and they have touched my life and many others with their faith throughout this ordeal! Have a fantastic day!

The nativity is so cute! We have been slowly adding things to our Christmas decorations and a nativity scene is something we still need to find. I have been following Kayleigh's journey on fb. I mourn with her family, but rejoice that she is now with her Savoir and in no pain. Keep taking it easy!

Yes..slow and easy. That's the best way to heal completely! The Nativity set is so pretty! You are running out of room for cards! It is always heartwarming to know so many care and are praying for you. I'm terrible about mailing cards, but you have been in my prayers! I will also offer prayer for Kayleigh's family. How very sad for those left behind. Blessings for all!

Love your hutch. Another card is on its way to add to your collection! :-)
Glad to hear that rain is on the way. Prayers for little Kayleigh's family. It has been a long struggle.
When I look at that manger scene, for some reason they look like they are made out of pie dough. Yum!

First-ever Hispanic Family Engagement Symposium to take place during 2015 National PTA Convention & Expo in Charlotte, N.C.
Event to feature White House and Univision leadership
ALEXANDRIA, Va., (June 25, 2015) — With a shared commitment to educational excellence and the success of every child, National PTA and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) will convene parent and education leaders from across the country for the first Hispanic Family Engagement Symposium from 9 - 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 25, at the Convention Center in Charlotte, N.C. The symposium is designed to strengthen engagement and support of Latino families, and ultimately, create a better learning environment for Hispanic students, who currently make up nearly one in four students nationally. The symposium is being held in conjunction with the 2015 National PTA Convention & Expo. Watch the live stream on National PTA's YouTube Channel.
White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics Executive Director Alejandra Ceja and Univision Executive Vice President and Corporate Officer Roberto Llamas will participate in the symposium along with National PTA President Otha Thornton; National PTA Executive Director Nathan R. Monell, CAE; and HHF President and CEO Jose Antonio Tijerino, who also is a member of National PTA's Board of Directors. As Tijerino rolls off the National PTA Board this National Convention, President Thornton honored him with a National PTA Lifetime Achievement Award.
"The Hispanic Heritage Foundation is proud to collaborate with National PTA to ensure Latino students benefit as much as other students from parents who are not only engaged but in leadership positions with PTA in communities nationwide," said Tijerino. "Twenty-five percent of students today are Hispanic, and we are working with National PTA, the White House Initiative and Univision to reflect that number with Latino parents in PTA as well as teachers in classrooms. Through the Taking the Pulse of the High School Student in America study we executed with MyCollegeOptions.org, we found that Hispanic students are the least likely to say that their parents are involved enough in their education and the most likely to report that they want more parental involvement. The need is certainly there from the student perspective."
National, state and local PTA leaders also will participate in the symposium, including Mercedes Cerrato, president, Hispanic/Latino Statewide (Ga.) Community PTA; Mercedes Sandoval, National PTA Board member; Matthew John Rodriguez, president-elect, Illinois PTA; and Juan San Miguel, president-elect, Alaska PTA.
During the event, National PTA will answer the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics' call for "Commitments to Action" by committing to educate school and PTA leaders about effective engagement of Hispanic families, increase the number of Hispanic PTA leaders, and cultivate and expand partnerships with others serving Hispanic families. As part of the commitment, National PTA and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding during a National PTA Board of Directors meeting on June 22, providing a framework for ongoing collaboration in support of Latino students and families.
"Latino children and youth are the fastest-growing population in America and an important part of our nation's future. Research also shows the critical role families play in children's success and achievement," said Otha Thornton, president of National PTA. "We are pleased to announce our Commitment to Action and formalize our collaboration with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation to strengthen engagement of Hispanic families in education and PTA and ensure all Latino students have access to high-quality learning and development opportunities that enable them to reach their full potential."
Key findings on parental engagement from the new Pulse Study by HHF and MyCollegeOptions.org, which had a sample size of nearly 5,000 students, include:
National PTA® comprises millions of families, students, teachers, administrators, and business and community leaders devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of parent involvement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education. Membership in PTA is open to anyone who wants to be involved and make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.
The Hispanic Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit originally established by the White House in 1988, inspires, prepares, positions and connects minority leaders in the classroom, community and workforce to meet America's priorities. HHF also promotes cultural pride, accomplishment, and the great promise of the community through public awareness campaigns seen by millions. HHF has been recognized for their work by the White House, Congress, Fortune 500 companies and other countries in Latin America. HHF is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has offices in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and the LOFT Institute housed at Michigan State University. Visit www.HispanicHeritage.org.
