text: I was giving serious thought to these questions when I came upon Katharina Rutschky's Schwarze Pädagogik (Black Pedagogy), a collection of excerpts from books on child-rearing, published in Germany in 1977. These texts describe all the techniques, which I refer to in this book as "poisonous pedagogy," that are used to condition a child at an early age not to become aware of what is really being done to him or her; they offer clear corroboration on a concrete level of the conjectural reconstructions I have arrived at in the long course of my analytic work. This gave me the idea of juxtaposing certain passages from this excellent but very lengthy book so that with their help readers can answer for themselves and on their own personal terms the following questions I shall be raising: How were other parents brought up? How were they permitted — even forced — to treat us? How could we, as young children, have become aware of this? How could we have treated our own children differently? Can this vicious circle ever be broken? And finally, is our guilt any less if we shut our eyes to the situation?

An adventure at first sight! Combining food, culture, entertainment, history, socialising, freedom and exciting scenery for taking memorable photos, your adventure starts even before departing from Athens. Come and join us before our departure time and taste a complimentary Greek Modern breakfast, Mpougatsa (traditional filo pie with cream, sugar and cinnamon or with mizithra cheese). If you are not a morning person, you can simply take it away and enjoy it later!
Leaving Athens behind, we cross mainland Greece and we make a short stop at the picturesque village of Arachova. While on the road, you will be provided with tools to take advantage of your time meaningfully and make it fly! Our screen will play a travel documentary that uncovers Greece in a very exciting and unique way.
From Arachova we head straight to Delphi, one of the most sacred and beautiful sites in Greece, the cultural and religious center of Ancient times referred to as the "Navel of Earth." The Sanctuary of Delphi dates back to the 4th century BC and it is here where Pythia, the priestess who served as the Oracle was credited for prophecies inspired by the spirit of the god Apollo. She was without a doubt the most powerful woman of the classical world as she influenced the fate of states and individuals for 1000 years. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the Castallian Spring, the Ancient Stadium that hosted the Pythian Games, and follow the sacred way to the Athenian Treasury. Visit the Museum of Delphi, home to a unique bronze Charioteer, the Naxian Sphinx, the Statue of Antinous, and many other archaeological treasures. At the end of your visit to Delphi you will have the chance to transform into a Greek Warrior or Goddess, taking a photo to remember and share with your beloved ones.
Departing from Delphi, we make a stop at Chaeronea, the land of Plutarch. At the entrance of the village you will see a 6 meter tall marble statue of the Lion of Chaeronea. On our journey back to Athens, to close off our adventure, we will chill out to relaxing music, soaking in the experiences of the day.

Happy Marriage vol. 1 by Maki Enjoji manga review
By Emma Smith
The story starts with the main female character, Chiwa Takanashi. She is an ordinary office worker, but is not experienced in love. Her family, especially her father, deals with financial issues. Hokuto Mamiya's, the president of the company, grandfather offers to take care of Chiwa's family's financial debts under the condition, she marries Hokuto.
At first, she is hesistant, but Chiwa agrees to the arranged marriage with the CEO Hokuto Mamiya. Of course, their relationship is not ideal. They have misunderstandings or bicker constantly. Hokuto, for example, is not particularly tidy so Chiwa would clean up after him and Hokuto is shocked to find Chiwa is a virgin. Furthermore, they keep their marriage a secret from others in the company except certain people like Hokuto's assistant Soma.
Chiwa is jealous of Soma's looks at first, but it turns out Soma is in her fifties and has known Hokuto since he was little. Soma tells Chiwa she has nothing to worry about. There's a hilarious part when Hokuto and Chiwa go to Love hotel to hide from Chiwa's friends and Chiwa mistakes a condom for a teabag. Still, they slowly start to develop feelings for each other.
I think this is a good manga, especially for romantic-comedy manga fans. It's rare to find Josei (a genre geared towards adult women) manga and anime in America. It's interesting that the relationship begins as an arranged marriage. Arranged marriages tend to be taboo at times. I do like that they develop feelings, but it's not love at first sight.
Chiwa is a likable character and is relatable in some ways. Hokuto, being the stubborn, tough guy, is at times funny. The plot is not hard to follow and is well paced. The art style is well drawn, as I looked at it and it suits the romantic story atmosphere. I recommend it.

Sahil + Olivier - The Modern Buying Process
The biggest shift in buyer preference has taken place right in front of us... and we have all missed it. 😨
Let me prove it. Go into incognito mode and visit the Netflix homepage.
- Do you see that button that says "Contact Sales" when you want to see pricing?
- How about that lead capture form?
- Did a Drift or Intercomchatbot pop and ask "How can I help you today?"
- Is the minimum contract length 1 year or 2 years? How much does a trial cost?
- Do you expect to receive a 12 step cold call/email cadence from them?
Yeah. The world has changed. And the same human being that fell in love with Netflix over Blockbuster's late fees and inconvenience.... is the same person dying for B2B to undergo the same metamorphosis as B2C.
That shift is coming. And my dear friend SVP Sales at G2 is leading the charge.
Join us on LNKD Live and bring all of your questions on how and why your company must embrace a buyer-centric sales process ... or end up suffering Blockbuster's fate. Thursday, 8/15 at 11 am PST /2 pm EST.

It's become an ongoing pet peeve of mine. Not a big deal, just annoying. It happens every time I get my car's oil changed at my local Jiffy Lube. Since I use synthetic oil, my car can go 5,000 miles between changes instead of 3,000 miles with regular oil.
However, every time the crew at Jiffy Lube changes the oil and puts a reminder tag in my window, they list the 3,000 instead of 5,000 for the next change. In the past, I have always made a point of asking the crew at Jiffy to make sure to indicate my next change at 5,000 miles. I always got the same response, "No problem" yet it always was a problem because they would forget.
The last time I went into Jiffy Lube, I gave the young man my same requests, noting that it gets by most of his fellow workers. His response was different, "I am so sorry to hear about the past service sir, I will personally see to it and make sure it's done right." His name was Elliott, a year out of high school but he understood customer service well beyond his years.
He took responsibility to make sure it was done right. He honored me with a personal promise to get it right – which he did. In fact, before I drove out, he made a point to walk over and point out the correct figure on the reminder tab.
The three action steps of Nice Bike are acknowledge, honor and connect. This young Jiffy Lube crew member did all three, he acknowledged the problem, he honored me by making a personal promise and he connected with me as a customer.
Nice Bike, Jiffy Lube guy.

Any kind of racing is dangerous and you don't have to be going fast or fall hard to get killed, just land wrong. Actually, at least in MX and flat track, many injuries and deaths are a result of getting hit by their own bike during the crash or by another rider's after the fact. In woodsy stuff like Grand Prix, Enduro and Hare Scrambles...:dry:...it's usually those blasted trees. Really no rhyme or reason to where they put those things, ya' know...:dunno:...they can just appear outa' nowhere. :dry: A lotta' trees out there that have absolutely no business bein' where they are.I've always wanted to go see the Isle of Man races. Dramatic speeds and scenery. Probably the world's most dangerous sporting event, though. On average, two riders dies every year in the TT series.

Ring in New Year at Burn Boot Camp with 45-minute intense station work
"People always have those New Year's goals they hope to obtain," said Kelly Kollar, Burn Boot Camp lead ambassador.
Franchise owner Kristy Smith of North Carolina expects the gym to open by New Year's Day in Kohl's Plaza, 11560 Kingston Pike, Farragut.
Burn Boot Camp primarily is a women's gym with morning and afternoon sessions, but Kollar said, "At our 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. camps, we are going to invite men as well.
"We want everyone to feel comfortable, create a really great community and help each other, whether it be in fitness or just kind of keeping each other going," she added. "We want it to be a friendly place. We don't want people to feel judged.
"Anyone can start here. You don't have to be fit to start here. You can start at any weight, any fitness level, and we'll make modifications for you until you're comfortable doing a workout every day."
The gym offers 45-minute high-intensity interval training, Kollar said.
"There will be stations (and) a lot of using your own body weight," she said. "We do have a pull-up rig; we have battle ropes; we have free weights."
However, she pointed out most of the workout is using one's own strength.
"All the camps are going to be led by a trainer," Kollar said. "They're going to go through all the motions, what you're going to be doing at camp, and they will be helping you on the floor as well.
"Our trainers also are going to offer nutrition guidance, we're going to have child care here, and also once you join Burn Boot Camp it's actually universal," she added, meaning the membership can be used at any Burn Boot Camp location.
The camps will be held at 5:30, 6:30, 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, with a break until it holds another camp at 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. On Saturdays, the gym also will have a camp at 8 and 9 a.m.
"We will start it at the 8 a.m. camp and go through the rest of the day," she said.
The gym plans to hold focus meetings, which are one-on-one with each member to go over what her goals are, what she or he wants to get out of the gym and help the member set up an attainable goal, she said.
"Right now, if you go on our website, burnbootcampwestknoxville.com/, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial, which starts the day we open," she said. "They have to sign up on the day we announce we are going to open. We will make an announcement (of the opening day)," she added.
According to its website, the gym has 169 locations in 37 states, with the closest locations in Chattanooga and Nashville.
"We've actually had a lot of people who have traveled to visit friends or family and have checked out Burn Boot Camps in other places," she said. "Our owner, Kristy, went to the University of Tennessee, and she had a love for the area. She wanted to come back and open this location."

Donna Lee Clodt McLeod passed away in Lancaster, California, on Friday, April 5, 2019. Donna was born to Erich Cris Clodt and Mildred Rosebud Caffee Clodt on May 24, 1933, in Wessington Springs, S.D. She was one of nine children. The family moved to Anaheim, California, in June 1941.
Donna graduated from Anaheim Union High School in 1951 and joined the U.S. Navy WAVES soon afterward. As an avid player of contract bridge, she met Benjamin McLeod and they were married on Nov. 6, 1964. They raised their family in Fullerton, CA; Ann Arbor, MI; and Valencia, CA as Ben was employed in the aerospace industry as the nation prepared for the first moon landings starting in 1969.
Upon retirement, Ben and Donna moved to Carson City, Nevada where they enjoyed the majestic beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains and almost daily could be found playing bridge together. After Ben's passing in 2011, Donna continued to assist at bridge games in Ridgecrest, California, and enjoyed early morning nature walks in the desert community. She was also active in the preservation of U.S. Naval history as a volunteer at the China Lake Museum.
Donna is preceded in death by her husband Ben, her parents, her brother Robert, and her sisters Marlene and Karen. Ben and Donna are survived by their son and daughter, Brad and Beth, three granddaughters and five great-grandchildren. Donna is also survived by her brothers and sisters including Mrs. Mary Ann (Robert) Clodt, Mrs. Betty (Stanley) Mullins, Mrs. Marion (Glenn) Hunsaker, Richard & Geri Clodt, Ronald & Iona Clodt, and Dennis & Connie Clodt. In addition, Donna is survived by her faithful caregivers, Steve and Jane Hunsaker, and by a host of much-loved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
"It broke our hearts to lose you. You didn't go alone. Part of us went with you the day God called you home."
In lieu of funeral services, contributions may be made in Donna's memory at the China Lake Museum Foundation, PO Box 217, Ridgecrest, CA 93556. For those who are interested, personalized tributes for the museum's new courtyard are also being accepted at the museum's web site: https://chinalakemuseum.org/take-action.

LAKE WORTH -- Eleven people were arrested at a pool room on Friday night in a raid that police said yielded 40 grams of cocaine and $3,400 used for gambling.
"When the officers knocked the door down, the suspects ran with cards in one hand and cash in the other," police Lt. Mark Lewis said.
Police obtained a search warrant after receiving anonymous complaints about gambling and drug trafficking at the Jacksonhouse Pool Room in the 1500 block of Railroad Avenue. The Police Department's vice unit and tactical patrol force, and the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, participated in the raid.
Charges included possession of cocaine with intent to sell, gambling and possession of gambling devices. Playing cards and a gun were confiscated.
One man was charged with 40 outstanding gambling warrants.

DTU will promote promising fields of research within the technical and the natural sciences, especially based on usefulness to society, relevance to business and sustainability.
International collaboration is an integrated part of DTUs activities and a prerequisite for DTUs status as an international elite university.

Image creation in computers resembles human dreams where we sometimes imagine things that we have not actually experienced. This is the conclusion of a research collaboration between DTU and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the US.
The researchers in the project are working to improve artificial intelligence based on so-called deep learning. They work to make computers imagine new images on the basis of information from images uploaded to computers.
Professor Lars Kai Hansen and Postdoc Søren Hauberg from DTU Compute are behind the Danish part of the new project finding which has just been presented at the 'Artificial Intelligence and Statistics' conference in Cadiz in Spain.
"The aim of the research is to make image recognition stronger when only a few images are available. This will—in particular—have a large impact on the analysis of medical scan images of which usually only a very limited number is available," says Lars Kai Hansen.
Deep learning is a technique employing artificial intelligence to train simulated brains, so-called 'neural networks'.
Even though similar algorithms have existed for a long time, it was not until recently that it became possible to train networks with many layers of simulated neurons, the so-called deep networks. Faster computers and big data are two factors which have made deep learning possible.

Incontinence is a 'Big Issue'!!!
Urinary incontinence is one of the most important health problems confronting modern society.
The statistics are quite astounding without taking into consideration those people with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), who with advice and treatment at this stage, may be able to prevent incontinence from developing.
Some astounding statistics
- In the UK, there are over 14 million people who have bladder control problems and 6.5 million with bowel control problems - this is approximately the number of people in the UK aged 60 and over!
- Approximately 10% of all adult women suffer from urinary incontinence[1].
- 0.4%–16% men are thought to have moderate to severe urinary incontinence. The number of affected men increases with age, and men aged 75 plus are most likely to experience bladder problems[2].
Urinary incontinence affects 11% men and 20% women over age 60[3].
That is 1 in every 5 older women and 1 in every 10 older men.
Did you know? More older women experience incontinence than breast cancer, heart disease or diabetes.
You probably were not aware of this because incontinence is taboo!
Lower urinary tract symptons (LUTS)
It is not just about incontinence or actual leakage. We also need to think about the 'almost' leaks and the people who get to the toilet 'just in time', because providing advice and treatment at this stage may prevent incontinence from developing.
Did you know? More people experience lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, than urinary incontinence but most do not seek treatment because they believe their symptoms are a normal part of ageing or because they are too embarrassed.
LUTS are usually grouped as:
- Symptoms which affect storage of urine in the bladder, or
- Symptoms which affect the voiding of urine, or
- Symptoms that occur post-micturition, after the voiding has finished
Specific LUTS are associated with particular conditions.
What's forecast for the future?
- In 2011 an increase of approximately 20% across the globe was predicted by 2018 for:
- Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) - 2.3 billion report these
- Urinary Incontinence (UI) - 423 million report this
- Overactive Bladder (OAB) - 546 million report this
- By 2030 the greatest increase in demand for UI care will be in older women aged 60-89 with OAB. Urinary incontinence care demands will increase by 80%[4]
- Overall the ageing of the global population is the biggest influence on prevalence of UI.
Europe has the greatest prevalence of UI of all, globally.
The oldest old, those over 80, are the fastest growing group In Europe. The oldest old have the most severe continence issues because they are also the most frail, with large numbers of risk factors and co-morbidities.
The highest concentration of people living with bladder and bowel incontinence are those in care homes.
A survey of 12,120 UK care home residents by BUPA in 2012 found
13% had UI only
2% had faecal incontinence (FI) only
56% had dual UI/FI (equivalent to 6,788 people)
Incontinence is associated with different diseases and medical conditions
Incontinence is associated with lots of different diseases and medical conditions. One example is stroke:
- UI affects 40-60% of people after a stroke. This is 60,000 – 90,000 people in the UK each year
- 44% stroke survivors report UI at 3 months, 38% at 12 months[5]
- The most common type of UI experienced following stroke is urge UI[6]
Your task
Find information and definitions for the LUTS which make up the overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and identify which one must always be present in OAB
Describe the four LUTS most commonly found in men with 'benign prostatic hyperplasia' (BPH) and note their definitions.

Long sheets of painted acrylic squares are draped over tables in the art room, squares that, once dry, are awash with colors and patterns unique to each maker.
Visiting artist Larry Mullins, father of sophomore Maya Mullins, met Ojai Valley School art teacher Chia Hersk on the first day of school when he dropped off Maya. Since then, there has been an open channel of communication between the two, and a mutual agreement that Mr. Mullins should come back as a visiting artist.
The plans were finally set into motion the Monday after spring break.
Mr. Mullins is professional artist by trade. He describes himself as a process artist, which emphasizes the actual process of creating art rather than embarking with a set plan or end goal. He allows the work to move him along.
"I don't start with drawings, I start with an idea or even just a notion about what it is that I want," Mr. Mullins said. "Then I start putting things down on the paper or canvas, most all the work that I do is completely intuitive."
He listens to his art – to him, it is a conversation. His pieces are abstract and combine many elements of design, color, and shape.
"It's always a process of looking, thinking, painting, editing, reworking and then painting again," Mr. Mullins said. "And that process can repeat itself six, seven, eight, nine times. Sometimes everything that gets put down eventually gets submerged in the layer going overtop of it."
His observational and layered style is reflected in the work he did with the art students. Focusing on oil skins, each student layered acrylic patterns down onto plastic sheeting and later added more layers of paint, thus making acrylic skins.
Mr. Mullins spent class and elective time with the four students in Ms. Hersk's Advanced Studio Art class, helping them build up personal complexity in their acrylic skins. Most squares will be part of students' individual visions, but some will contribute to a collective, class-wide piece.
While Mr. Mullins' current professional work and his work with students demonstrates a slower, step-by-step approach to making art, this style has not always been his go-to.
While living in Virginia, Mr. Mullins had a following in the street art world. Inspired by artists like Keith Haring, he was attracted to the immediacy and impermanence of street art, and the instant connection he had with people who passed him working.
Mr. Mullins' time working with the rhythm, flow, and fast-paced lifestyle has influenced his personal style. He joins language with the abstract, and he showed the students ways to connect stationary art with freeform movement.
"He encouraged us to see relationships between shape and color and how they can interact with each other," said sophomore Wendy Lazo-Dowdy. "He showed us how to get different flows with different mediums."
Heading into class as a visiting artist, Mr. Mullins' aim was to open new doors for students to explore, and to give them the tools to do so.
"I focus on principles and elements of design, ways to create depth, and ways to make your picture have motion, quality of line, and color," Mr. Mullins said. "[I was hoping to] pass on some ideas about technique and approach and most importantly to give them the parts to create a whole."
Ms. Hersk had similar goals.
"I just wanted the students to get something out of it," she said. "It's always fun to bring in visiting artists, because they get so used to you and then you bring in someone else that has new ideas [and] a new way of teaching and it totally inspires them."
Within the three day visit, the students laid down the foundation for their designs and began to make the pieces they would build into their final project. About a week later, their works are almost completed and will be displayed in a collective series. Each student's piece and the whole class piece are coming together to form a story – a spectrum of unique, creative wavelengths working together.
Art provides a window into the mind that is not found anywhere else in life. It is a way to bare the soul without physically staring someone in the eye and telling them, "this is me." Art provides a way to connect mentally and to almost tangibly link hearts, a connection that doesn't come easily. It has to be worked, weathered and honed. You learn who you are as it grows, and you find parts of yourself along the way.
As Mr. Mullins aptly put it, "Painting has a certain kind of wisdom that you develop, you grow, you learn."Share

Solara Adjustable Patio Covers
Solara Adjustable Patio Covers – The "Smart" Shading System – Both a Patio Cover and a Pergola at the Same Time! Their louvers are designed to provide ventilation, shading from the sun, and also energy savings. During summer, closing a patio cover's louvers keeps the sun's rays from adding extra heat to a home. In colder months, opening the louvers allows sunshine to warm indoor spaces. The result is a reduction in cooling and heating costs.
Patio covers are exposed to different weather conditions, such as direct sunlight, rain, and humidity. Solara patio covers are made entirely out of aluminum (including their support systems); therefore, they are superior to wood, iron, steel, and metal covers. They will never rust, they are not susceptible to termites, and you will never need to paint them. Occasional cleaning with soapy water is all that is needed.
Another advantage that Solara offers over other products is the option to control the patio cover's roof. Solara is available in manual or remote-control options. When it is raining, you can close it, keeping your outdoor patio furniture, spa or hot tub covered. When a warm winter sun comes out, you are able to open the top louvers with a remote control device to let in up to 98% direct sunlight exactly where you want it to reach.
And, of course, when the summer sun is too strong, you can choose to let in as little light as you would like through the louvers (up to 100% shade while maintaining maximal ventilation).
The louvers are now available in both roll formed aluminum and a heavy duty extruded louver. Solara's standard colors are White, Latte, Gray, Cameo and Adobe.
Fans, lighting and other electrical accessories, such as TV's and heaters, can easily be added at the time of installation.
Please look at more pictures in our Gallery and go to the Solara link on our home page for more information.

Black Milk Is at the Forefront of Innovation on 'If There's a Hell Below' [ALBUM REVIEW]
It's hard to stand out in Detroit. Ever since Eminem broke the mold to become the biggest star in hip-hop, the city hasn't produced an artist of his magnitude since. That's partly due to Marshall's idiosyncrasies, but largely due to the specific sound that emanates from the D -- gully, metallic, heavy on percussion. The most popular artist from the region in recent years is Danny Brown, but he had to abandon his 'Detroit State of Mind' and lock down the hipster crowd to rise above the Motor City din. Yet while Danny managed to stay true to his rappity roots while extending himself to a new fan base, other Detroit artists have built a loyal following without drastically changing their sound to cater to a new crowd-- like Black Milk.
Black Milk's discography is a timeline of his musical evolution. His first three albums were straight up Detroit hip-hop, complete with spine-squishing drums in the lineage of the city's production patriarch, J Dilla. The third, 2008's 'Tronic,' saw Milk experimenting synths and incorporating vocalists like Melanie Rutherford and Bilal, allowing Milk to stretch his prowess beyond rhymes, like Flying Lotus did on his 2008 LP, 'Los Angeles.' Black Milk's fourth album, 'Album Of The Year,' found him experimenting with live instrumentation, and he's careened off the beaten path ever since. He joined Sean Price and Guilty Simpson as Random Axe to produce their debut album in 2011, and soon after he released the 'Black & Brown EP' with Danny Brown, highlighting the best of both artists in a mere seven tracks.
Last year's 'No Poison No Paradise' belies a better sense of Milk's current direction. On that album, he abandoned the self-centered "raps about rapping" of his past work in favor of a narrative that followed Sonny, the semi-autobiographical protagonist. Beyond the raps, however, was a developed sense of sound. His tempos were relaxed. His drums were more beautifully off-kilter than ever before. In short, it was the best album of his career up to that point.
But his new album, 'If There's A Hell Below,' is even closer in line with Milk's EP from earlier this year, 'Glitches In The Break,' whose title informs Milk's atypical approach on the project. Ominous synth strings, languid rhythms, a wider palette of samples – all a part of Black Milk's journey to the newer sound displayed on 'If There's A Hell Below.'
'If There's A Hell Below' is darker than Black Milk's previous work, if you couldn't tell by the album title. It opens with 'Everyday Was,' where he reminisces on hard veins in the arms of relatives. The chorus sings of death around the corner, and so we're brought into the next phase of Black Milk's growth – an existential crisis of impending death, again drawing links to FlyLo on his latest album, 'You're Dead!' Racial tension rumbles under the more obvious implications of death as Black Milk remembers poverty and the pressure of dealing drugs across the album's 12 tracks. The closing record, 'Up & Out,' finds Milk completing the album title's curiosity while also flexing a newfound playfulness in his cadence – "If there's a hell below, then we already in it / Tell your white friends, though / Come and pay us a visit / Our neighborhoods don't look like theirs, don't be scared."
'What It's Worth,' the album's lead single, is one of the best songs Black Milk has ever created, point blank period. His sample use has become so fleshed out, the production now complements the raps instead of overpowering them. The strings, the vocal sample, the crisp but subdued drums – all a part of Milk's refined (and improved) beat technique. It's as if, on his fifth studio album, Black Milk is finally coming to understand why he makes music, and that revelation has allowed him to expand his sound without losing any of his Detroit flavor. Short outros on songs like 'Leave the Bones Behind' function to almost relieve the tension that builds up during the span of the track while also harkening back to rap's Golden Age. Pete Rock, the guy who could be said to have invented the "outro beat" schtick, is even featured on 'Quarter Water.' Throughout the album, there is this pairing of old and new, resulting in a multilayered synthesis – Black Milk now understands his purpose, and that purpose informs the textured feel of 'If There's A Hell Below.' Drums rattle, bass lines buzz, and the stamp of Detroit is never far.
What follows throughout the album is an extension of that newfound purpose. Each song breaks free from the confines of Detroit Hip-Hop while still maintaining the signature essence of the city's music. The jazzy tempo of 'Hell Below' doesn't necessarily sound like it springs from the Motor City, but the specific drums themselves sound fresh out of Black Milk's kit. The traditional tools of the city are being used to create brand new styles, and Black Milk is at the forefront of innovation.
A couple key MCs help paint a more vivid picture. Blu contributes brushstrokes of black skin and Phil Collins on 'Leave The Bones Behind' while Guilty Simpson hammers out a memorable verse on the Random Axe reunion 'Scum.' Black Milk's growth is even evident under the supervision of a Bun B guest verse; Bun is Houston's most palatable feature artist, and Milk's breezy backdrop gives the Underground King elbow room to operate.
"If There's A Hell Below" sounds like an artist who has found his place along the sonic spectrum. The album never confines itself, consistently surprising you with varied vibrancy - consider the aesthetic juxtaposition of 'Detroit's New Dance Show' with 'Story And Her.' Dilla's influence is still on display at times – his bounce is embedded in 'Grey Summer' – but this album is a statement from Black Milk: no longer is he a little brother. 'If There's A Hell…' cements Black Milk as a fully formed leader, not just amongst Detroit musicians, but in hip-hop as a whole. No Ruff Drafts on this side.

Tobacco company delays in admitting fault mirror talc litigation
According to Vox, the tobacco companies are finally being forced by a federal court to follow through with the 2006 ruling by US District Judge Gladys Kessle that the companies pay for ads on national television and in newspapers admitting not only the dangers of smoking but also that they tried to make smoking more addictive, among other confessions.
For 11 years, Big Tobacco has dragged its feet on complying with the ruling, filing appeals and employing other delays. The strategy of "deny, deny, deny" feels familiar.
There have so far been seven completed talc trials in three states, with six plaintiff wins and damages of $724 million. These juries have all demanded that Johnson and Johnson warn consumers that prolonged genital use of its talc products increases risk of ovarian cancer.
Evidence presented at trials shows Johnson and Johnson knew for decades of the growing number of scientific studies linking talc to ovarian cancer but chose not to warn women or switch to the safe cornstarch alternative it already manufactured and sold. The company itself had been warned quite boldly of the impact that ignoring this evidence could have on its business, if the impact it would have on consumer health wasn't enough to motivate the company to action.
A 1997 memo from Johnson and Johnson's paid medical consultant to the company's preclinical toxicology manager clearly advised the company against denying talc's risk and warned the company that it could face unfavorable comparisons to the cigarette industry.
"At that time there had been about nine studies (more by now) published in the open literature that did show a statistically significant association between hygienic talc use and ovarian cancer. Anybody who denies this risks that the talc industry will be perceived by the public like it perceives the cigarette industry: denying the obvious in the face of all evidence to the contrary," the memo reads.
But Johnson and Johnson's response to the juries' indictment of its actions, clearly expressed through large punitive damages, has been to continue to deny responsibility and pursue appeals.
The tobacco industry used a similar strategy.
"Employing the highest paid lawyers in America, the tobacco companies used every tool at their disposal to delay and complicate this litigation to avoid their day of reckoning," said the American Cancer Society's Cliff Douglas, according to NBC News.
But now the chickens have finally come home to roost. The advertising campaign by Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA will run for an entire year on all major networks and in more than 50 newspapers.
The ads, which have already begun running, are required to be aired during primetime and at least five times a week. They will include shocking information such as the fact that smoking kills more people than die from murder, HIV/AIDS, suicide, car crashes, drug overdoses, and alcohol combined; that smoking kills 1,200 people a day; the tobacco companies worked to make their product as addictive as possible; and there is no such thing as a safer cigarette.
Vox reports that although the information about smoking that is being presented may be shocking, it is being presented in boring simple text using a robotic voice that may reduce impact, and it is a long time coming. In the 11 years the tobacco companies delayed the way people receive their news has significantly changed, with most people using digital sources.
"Despite their claims to the contrary, the tobacco companies have not changed. Their continuing aversion to the truth is clear from how hard they fought the corrective statements, going so far as to seek removal of the phrase 'here is the truth,'" the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, National African American Tobacco Prevention Network and the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund said in a joint statement reported by NBC News.
"The ads will finally run after 11 years of appeals by the tobacco companies aimed at delaying and weakening them," the health groups said in their joint statement. "It's a pretty significant moment,"said Douglas. "This is the first time they have had to 'fess up and tell the whole truth."

VAT On Air Ambulance Fuel Bills' Petition
From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow
I am writing to advise you of an online petition to get VAT removed from the fuel bills of Air Ambulance charities. Unlike the RNLI, under European Union rules the charities are not exempted from the tax.
The petition asks that any future fuel VAT payments made by these charities should be returned in the form of a grant of the same amount taken by HM Treasury.
For a debate to be granted 100,000 signatures are needed. I urge you to sign the petition and please circulate it widely so support can be built.

Expanded AmeriCorps Proposal Raises Questions of Compulsory Service
WASHINGTON – Lawmakers trying to maximize the spirit of civil service in the post-9/11 era are seeking to expand the Clinton-era AmeriCorps program, a six-year-old domestic Peace Corps that critics ridicule as a taxpayer boondoggle and supporters praise as a new font of civic pride among young people.
When Congress returns later this month, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Evan Bayh, D-Ind., will be pushing their "Call to Service Act," a multi-pronged measure that seeks to expand volunteer service in America.
Bubbling around the fringes of that effort will be another, much quieter call for something young Americans haven't faced since the Vietnam War -- mandatory national service. However, instead of picking up guns to fight the Vietcong, young people would have to pick up shovels to dig foundations or lend a hand at the local soup kitchen.
McCain and Bayh's bill would expand the number of volunteers participating in the $435 million AmeriCorps program from 250,000 to 500,000.
Under the plan, new AmeriCorps volunteers could sign up for duties linked to homeland defense. The proposal would also expand the SeniorCorps program for elderly volunteers, and provide money for non-profit organizations that supply volunteers for efforts like disaster relief.
This approach is "ideally suited for the tenor of the times," said Mark Kornblau, a spokesman for Bayh's office. It "is such a dramatic expansion of service opportunities."
Not everyone is on board with enlisting volunteers to help out with homeland defense, though. Some say we should exhaust our existing pool before tapping into a new one.
"I am very disturbed that this current national security crisis is being used as a hobby-horse for those who are advocating national service," said Elaine Donnelly, executive director of the Center for Military Readiness in Detroit. "We have yet to tap into retired law enforcement, FBI, military and secret service [personnel]. They should be utilized for homeland defense."
Others see no need to augment a program they say has been ineffective from the beginning. John Bovard, an analyst with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, says AmeriCorps is a waste of money that devotes more than half its budget to preparing volunteers for their Graduate Equivalency Degree or sending them on food stamp drives.
"Citizens should no longer be forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes each year for a bunch of photo opportunities for politicians and do-gooders," Bovard wrote in a recent report.
Donnelly and others are also concerned that a renewed focus on homeland service would divert volunteers from active-duty military service. Although the military experienced a surge in interest following the Sept. 11 attacks, actual recruitment, at about 200,000 during 2001, remained the same as the previous year, according to the Department of Defense.
Another idea batted around at the fringe of the national service debate is guaranteed to raise even more hackles – compulsory national service.
Scholar Robert Litan of the Brookings Institution recently argued that compulsory service for young people from all backgrounds can become the new great equalizer, much the way the military had been.
But American society has already moved in this direction, with requirements in some states that high schoolers perform community service during their years in high school, Litan said in the latest issue of the Brookings Review.
"Compulsory service brings together people from all walks of life during crucial formative years and puts them in a common environment, where they have no choice but to get along with each other," he said. "It also helps instill a sense of obligation to the larger society."
Opponents are already squawking. Jeff Deist, a spokesperson for Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, called said such requirements are incompatible with a free society. "It tends to inculcate young people with the mindset that they are subjects of the state," Deist said. "Is this a useful, or even a constitutional, way for Congress to spend taxpayer dollars?"
So far, Congress hasn't rallied behind calls for compulsory service. McCain and Bayh will take to college campuses next month in an effort to rally support for both AmeriCorps and their legislation, but they won't be talking about forcing anybody to do anything just yet.
"We would rather people serve their country because they want to, not because they have to," Kornblau said.

"On the 24th day of the 11th month, which is the month of Shevat, in the second year of the reign of Darius, the word of G-d came to Zachariah the son of Berechiah the son of Ido the prophet, saying:
'...I will return to Jerusalem in mercy, my house will be built within her...and the Lord shall yet console Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem.'" (Zechariah 1:7-17)
This was two years before the completion of the 2nd Temple on the 3rd of Adar, 3412 (349 BCE).
Rebbetzin Menuchah Rachel Slonim, daughter of Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch and granddaughter of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, was born on Kislev 19, 5559 (1798) -- the very day on which her illustrious grandfather was freed from his imprisonment in the Peter-Paul Fortress in Petersburg; she was thus named "Menuchah", meaning "tranquility" (Rachel was the name of a daughter of Rabbi Schneur Zalman who died in her youth).
The Rebbetzin's lifelong desire to live in the Holy Land was realized in 1845, when she and her husband, Rabbi Yaakov Culi Slonim (d. 1857), led a contingent of Chassidim who settled in Hebron. Famed for her wisdom, piety and erudition, she served as the matriarch of the Chassidic community in Hebron until her passing in her 90th year in 1888.
A Biography on Rebbetzin Menuchah Rachel
22 Facts about Hebron Every Jew Should Know
19 Kislev: The "New Year" of Chassidism
When you come to a place that seems outside of G‑d's realm, too coarse for light to enter, and you want to run away—
—know that there is no place outside of G‑d, not even this place, and rejoice in your task of uncovering Him there.

Why hire a car insurance?
Hire a car insurance.
Buying a car but not holding it can be a very high risk for your investment. In the streets, we must be prepared for any eventuality, regardless of gravity (beats, robberies, thefts…), and with insurance, we gain daily protection against these and other situations, even the most unusual.
When we hire insurance, we always hope we don't have to use it. In some cases, however, the lack of a cover makes all the difference. When leaving the garage, the car is subject to go through situations that can be quite curious.
If you think it's overkill, get to know three stories that seem absurd, but they happened to three car owners.
Waking up in a nightmare. Insurance Car.
A day like any other. The owner of a car sleeps peacefully in his apartment, while an intense rain falls on the outside. In the middle of the night, he is woken by the building's doorman, warning that the water has invaded the underground garage and has taken over his vehicle
Air conditioning in the ceiling
The owner of a car equipped with a panoramic roof had a surprise nothing pleasant: While it was parked, the vehicle was hit by a poorly fixed air conditioner, on the outside of a building, in the streets of Sao Paulo.
Recklessness and misfortune
A driver, who had just left the dealership with his new car, committed the recklessness of not respecting the stop sign and ended up hitting another vehicle, hours after the acquisition.
The misfortune: The owner of the car had not made the immediate insurance and therefore had to bear the damage of the two vehicles.
In the other two cases, however, the affected owners were quickly secured, since in their insurance there was coverage for the damages cited.
The car insurance is something we do not want to use, but having it passes the tranquility that needed to drive or leave your vehicle parked anywhere. Make a quotation, search for plans and protect your means of transportation.

- Description
The Art Of Dying By Ambrose Parry
Hand Signed by Chris Brookmyre & Marisa Haetzman to the Title Page
Hardback 1st Edition
New & Unread.
There's a fine line between kill and cure - Edinburgh, 1849.
Despite Edinburgh being at the forefront of modern medicine, hordes of patients are dying all across the city, with doctors finding their remedies powerless. But it is not just the deaths that dismay the esteemed Dr James Simpson. A whispering campaign seeks to blame him for the death of a patient in suspicious circumstances. Simpson's protégé Will Raven and former housemaid Sarah Fisher are determined to clear their patron's name. But with Raven battling against the dark side of his own nature, and Sarah endeavouring to expand her own medical knowledge beyond what society deems acceptable for a woman, the pair struggle to understand the cause of the deaths. Will and Sarah must unite and plunge into Edinburgh's deadliest streets to clear Simpson's name. But soon they discover that the true cause of these deaths has evaded suspicion purely because it is so unthinkable.
About the Author: Ambrose Parry is a pseudonym for a collaboration between Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman. The couple are married and live in Scotland. Chris Brookmyre is the international bestselling and multi-award-winning author of over twenty novels. Dr Marisa Haetzman is a consultant anaesthetist of twenty years' experience, whose research for her Master's degree in the History of Medicine uncovered the material upon which this series, which began with The Way of All Flesh, is based. The Way of all Flesh was longlisted for both the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award and the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year.

Amazon expands private label push with expansion into food
[SAN FRANCISCO] Amazon.com has started selling its own private-label food items for the first time, broadening an effort to control more of the path from the creation of products to purchase.
The online retail giant now offers organic "Mama Bear" baby food and "Happy Belly" coffee, the company said Wednesday. The items are available to subscribers of Amazon's Prime free- shipping service on its website.
Amazon is investing in its own lineup of products as it looks for new ways to reach consumers directly, with less help from other companies, boosting loyalty and potentially profits. Already, it sells more than 3,000 products - from clothing to camera tripods - under its own private labels.
A spokeswoman said the push into foods was part of Amazon's long-term goal to offer the largest selection of products in the world. She declined to comment on Amazon's food product road map.
The new effort builds on AmazonBasics, which launched in 2009 and initially focused on simple electronics and related accessories such as batteries and recordable DVDs. It expanded the range of products under this brand, in part by tracking what customers look at and buy on its websites and apps for ideas of which products to pursue next.

In The Words of Maya Angelou…
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty"
Maya Angelou
Hello Nzuri! I wanted my first post to be spontaneous and poignant, therefore why not begin with Ms. MAYA as she is one of my many inspirations. I admire her honesty and boldness in all her writings; she was truly a great author.
This will be my 2nd go at blogging and I'm determined to be as authentic and transparent as possible. I picked this quote because over the past several years my life has been like a butterfly's there have been many changes that have knocked me off of my feet yet others that have been a great delight. But through it all, I'm still here and proud to say that at this moment I feel wonderful.
Although this is a style blog, I'd like this to also be a place of calm, inspiration and creativity. Please, come along with me on this journey, let's make it fun!!
Remember, you are simply beautiful,
