Despite the ticking clock, they move with all the slow deliberation of moon-walkers, blissfully unsullied by the merest touch of urgency. (Why can't a nine-year-old make tart and irrelevant comments without pausing in the middle of tying his shoelaces?)
Primus belatedly reminds Tertius that socks and sneakers are required for an activity today, Tertius refuses to believe it, clings to flip-flops, unable to grasp the concept of wearing sneakers anyway as insurance, in case of the dim possibility that his older brother may actually be right. Daddy now quite exasperated, spinning car keys like worry beads, snapping orders.
I might have had more authority if it hadn't come out as "put on your snocks and seekers." Twice.

That evening, Primus commits one of those childhood sins, long forgotten and no doubt fueled by high-fructose corn syrup, that requires a serious parental scolding. (When did every overhyped American tradition become a kids' candy-fest?) Having removed my Halloween costume, I sit him down on the living room sofa and lecture him for ten minutes on his behavior. And it's only as I draw to the end of my brilliant fatherly peroration that I realize I'm still wearing the clown nose.
I now go trick-or-treating dressed as a monk. You don't need to wear pants, and neighbors offer you beer.

**My former Citibank colleagues and I decided years ago that a "Grim Reaper" should be the name of a cocktail, although we were unable to come up with anything sufficiently lethal. We did agree, from frequent caipirinha-oiled business lunches (it was the 80s) at the nearby "Brazilian Pavilion" in midtown (it was the 80s), that it should have a cachaça base. But the next ingredient foundered on the current legal status of absinthe. (Not to mention the abandonment of New Coke.)

"A crisis in the criminal justice system triggered the barristers' strike action and although that dispute seems narrowly to have been resolved - the crisis has not gone away," said Law Society of England and Wales president Joe Egan.
"Twenty years of cuts have heaped colossal pressure on the system, and those who work hard every day to ensure the rule of law is upheld.
"The Law Society has produced clear evidence of the imminent collapse of the criminal legal aid solicitors' market. Despite that, the Ministry of Justice is simply not addressing the root problems.
"All through the barristers' strike solicitors have kept working - this commitment to the rule of the law has again gone unrewarded.
"The Law Society has already applied for a judicial review of the litigators' graduated fee scheme (LGFS) cuts which, if successful, will only be a band-aid on the gaping wound of the underfunded criminal justice system.
"We need a change of approach by the government. If that doesn't happen they alone will be to blame for the collapse in confidence in our justice system that will surely follow."
Note to editors
The financial pressures on solicitors undertaking criminal legal aid work are such that in June 2017 we issued a practice note to legal aid solicitors specialising in criminal law reminding them that they can exercise their discretion when deciding to accept cases if the work threatens the viability of their firm.
About the Law Society
The Law Society is the independent professional body that works globally to support and represent solicitors, promoting the highest professional standards, the public interest and the rule of law.

Media reports in 2008 naming the best and worst NHS trusts for maternity care did not lead to more women going to the top hospitals or avoiding the lowest, a study has found.
The NHS Constitution states that providing information to support patient choice is a major priority for driving improvement in services.
The new study casts doubt on this principle, finding that widely publicised patient survey results listing the 10 best and worst performing NHS trusts in England did not lead to more women attending the high-ranked hospitals or fewer attending low-ranked hospitals.
The study also found that satisfaction levels did not improve more quickly at hospitals named as the 10 worst compared with others with similar satisfaction levels at the start, suggesting that high-profile public reporting may not have stimulated improvements in care.
The research is published in the Journal of Health Services Research & Policy.
Dr Anthony Laverty from the School of Public Health at Imperial College London, who led the study, said: "The NHS and other health systems are increasingly trying to provide more information about hospitals' performance on the basis that letting patients make informed choices about where they go for their care will improve standards. The evidence for this is patchy, and mainly comes from cardiac surgery in the US. We wanted to test this idea by looking at maternity care in England, since pregnant women might be more proactive in seeking information and choosing in advance where they want to give birth."
The results of a survey of 26,000 women assessing their maternity care were released by the Healthcare Commission in January 2008, attracting widespread media coverage both in the national press and in local media where hospitals were rated as doing particularly well or badly.
The Imperial researchers compared the NHS trusts named as best and worst with the remaining trusts, excluding those with only a small number of maternity admissions. They looked at the number of maternity admissions for each trust and survey satisfaction levels in 2007 and 2010.
The data showed no significant difference in admissions in the three years after the media reports at the best or worst trusts.
"Our results suggest that releasing information on the quality of hospitals didn't mean that women ended up with better care. Added to other studies, the evidence suggests that public reporting is unlikely to improve the quality of health services through patient choice," said Dr Laverty.
The study was funded by the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) North West London, the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre, and the NIHR Imperial Patient Safety Translational Research Centre.

If you're like most business owners, you're always looking for new ways to increase your business. We believe there is always more you can do with your website to bring in new customers. SEO is a powerful marketing tool, and there is always room for improvement.
SEO Consulting Services To Do List
Your SEO consulting services firm should already be working with you to continually improve your SEO strategy, but here are a few things you may want to ask if they are doing:
Add Value. By this we mean add value to your web site content. Creating quality content that's relevant and useful is key. You don't want to add content just to throw something out there and see if it sticks. Use your website analytics to see which pages are generating the most traffic, and figure out how to capitalize on that on your other web pages, as well as by writing blogs that answer the questions people have.
Improve the User Experience. The user experience is critical to SEO. In fact, user experience begins before someone gets to your website. According to Forrester, 93% of online experiences start with a search.
You want to make your website easy to navigate, neat and tidy with no problems to make a user experience more difficult. Things to consider:
- Test your site's links to ensure there aren't any broken links. Avoid the dreaded "Page Not Found" error message.
- Your content should appeal to both users and search engines, so readability combined with search engine optimization need to be taken into account when writing.
- The navigation bars or menus should help the user get around your site and find what they want easily and without problems. Make sure you haven't left anything out, and that there are no hidden pages.
- Page load time is critical. The majority of users expect a web page to load in under 3 seconds. Test the load time of your pages periodically. From lots of images to a problem with the script, there are a number of reasons your load time could slow down.
Invest More in Your Content. Search engines focus on content. It doesn't make sense to further optimize your content if your content isn't appealing to your audience in the first place.
With the help of your SEO company, monitor the keywords, site analytics and levels of engagement to see what engages visitors to your site. Then capitalize on that by increasing the number of pages in that area, or write new blogs focusing on what readers want to know.
Optimize Visual Content. Visual content is more important than ever. Photos, videos, images, graphs, infographics, etc. all play a part in your website, and they can effect SEO.
Again, ask your search engine optimization team if they are doing all they can with the visual content. For instance:
- Think carefully of photo or video titles. NO: 20170907.jpg. YES: Baltimore SEO Consulting Services
- Don't forget to add text, metadata and keywords. Think about providing a transcript for videos that use your key phrases. This allows the search engines to crawl the video content.
- Pay attention to file size. Ginormous files slow down page load time.
Keep Your Online Footprint Up to Date Your online presence goes way beyond your website. Think of all the social media platforms you've tried out over the years. Here's the thing: it's OK to not use a particular platform if you don't think your prospective customers are utilizing that site. Say, for instance, you have a Google+ site that you don't really utilize. You still need to make sure the information on there is accurate, so visitors can find out more about your website.
Here's something to add to your to-do list: Create a spreadsheet of all of the various platforms you're on – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Yelp Reviews, Google Reviews, Angie's List, etc. Then check on each site one a month (or have your SEO company do this) to monitor your online presence and make sure everything is up to date.
If you're ready to use SEO to boost your business, call Coastal Web Services at 410-420-9390 or use our contact form and someone will get back to you shortly. We offer SEO consulting services in Baltimore, but we also have clients all up and down the East Coast.

CONTAFRIKARELIGION AS MOTHER OF WORLD RELIGIONS or WHY CONTAFRIKARELIGION WE NOW CALL AFRIKANITY IS NOT DEVIL RELIGION BUT THE MOTHER OF JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM AND OUR FREEDOM FROM ALIEN RELIGIONS WE CALL OUR OWN,
By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); [email protected],
AFRIKANITY , that is, Ancient/Traditional Continental Afrikan Religion is the Mother of all world religions.
Without traditional Continental Afrika Religion there will be no Judaism. And without Judaism, we would not have Christianity and Without Christianity, there will be no Islam
In other words, without traditional Continental Afrikan Religion there will be no other forms of religion we have in the world today.
And yet traditional Continental Afrikan Religion or Afrikanity is not Judaism,
Afrikanity is not Christianity. Afrikanity is not Islam. At best , Afrikanity is the Mother of Judaism, Father of Christianity and a Relation of Islam.
At worse, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are but a shadow, a corruption, a deformation or a version of the substance and the original world first religion: Afrikanity.
Contrary to all slave, colonial and neo-colonial Lies we are taught as our Truths, Continental AfrikaReligion we now call Afrikanity is not fetishism, paganism, superstition or inferior/low-cost and barbaric religion practised by savages or worshippers of the devil, stone, tree, sun, moon, etc.
Afrikanity, as the world's First, Oldest, Original, the Source, the Cause, or the Substance of world religions , gave to Judaism, Christianity and Islam the concept of one Creator the British call God, the Arab call Allah , the Jew call Adonai or Jehovah and who all today's One Billion Continental/Diaspora Afrikans are now challenged to discover, live in tune to, experience and enjoy as our Creator AFRIKAMAWU .
All because long, long before the Biblical Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed etc. Ancient Continental Afrikans believed and practised one Faith in one Great Supreme Being and Creator of all the Universe as the Source and Sustainer of all lives on earth.
In other words, before the Jews "invented" Judaism and Christianity and the Arabs Islam, their Mother and Father Continental Afrikans gave themselves and the world the world's first Religion we now call Afrikanity.
So contrary to today's teachings, Judaism, Christianity and Islam were and are not the only Religions worth knowing and practicing by today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans/Islanders let alone the world's first religions on Earth to invent the one concept of the Creator or the first to save themselves and the world through their faith and practice of one Almighty Supreme Being .
If so, it stands to reason that Judaism, Christianity , Islam , Budhuism , Hinduism etc that came or originated from Continental Afrika and based on the world's first Ancient Continental Afrikan Concept and Practice of One Creator or Supreme Being for all , cannot, must not, could not and should not pretend to teach Continental Afrikans religion based on one-concept of one Creator they got from Continental Afrikans in the first place.
Besides, Moses, the father of Judaism, was a child of Ancient/Traditional/Religious/Spiritual Education, Training, Culture, Values .
Without Continental Afrika, there will be no Moses, no Jewish nation to lead, no ten commandments to give them and no religion called Judaism.
All because Moses was born, bred, educated and trained in Continental Afrika as Afrikan and not as a JEW.
He was also initiated into the Sacred and Secret Science and Art of Ancient/Traditional Continental Afrikan Religious and Spiritual Schools , Teachings, Knowledge that enabled him to become Moses and the new leader of the Jewish people and Nation .
The ten commandments he gave the Jews were all taken from Continental Afrika .
They were Ancient Afrikan rather than Jewish, legal as well as spiritual documents used by Continental Afrikan as laws to govern their personal and collective relations.
In the same way, without Continental Afrika to provide home, shelter, food, clothes, dignity to the sons and daughters of Abraham in the claws of hunger and famine, there would be not what we call today Israel, or Jews .
The myth of Jewish persecution, enslavement and suffering in Egypt were invented by Moses and others to justify why he must take away the Jews from Continental Afrika they have lived in for centuries.
And before we forget, Moses and his people left Continental Afrika as Afrikans speaking Ancient Afrikan Egyptian language, practising Afrikan religion of Afrikanity and Continental Afrikan culture.
Their concept of the Bible, religion, worship, doctrine, rites, sacrifice, sin, salvation, etc. were all Afrikan that they took along with them when they left Continental Afrika to form their own nation.
Like Judaism, everything about Christianity is Afrikan. Not only was it born in
Afrika, its very foundation is Afrikan.
For example, the concept of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, Jesus Christ the Savior, the story of creation, etc. were and are still Afrikan.
The late Professor John G. Jackson in his book : Christianity before Christ made the same points when he affirms that:
Comparative Theologists have discovered records of about thirty Savior-God religions based on the following similar traits:
1)They were born on or near Christmas
2)Their mothers were virgins
3) They were born in a cave or stable
4) They worked for the salvation of humanity
5) They were called Saviors, Mediators, Healers etc.
6) They were overcome by evil powers
7) A descent into Hell was made by them
8) After being slain they arose from death and descended to heaven at Easter.
9) They founded religious institutions
10) They were commemorated by Eucharistic rites
11) Many of these Savior-Gods were believed to make a second coming to the world.
In other words, there is nothing new about Christianity or its teachings to Continental Afrikans.
Other experts such as Dr. Alvin Boyd Kuhn agrees with John G. Jackson when he confirms that:
The entire Christian Bible, creation legend, descent into hell and exodus from Egypt, ark and flood allegory, Israelite history, Hebrew prophecy and poetry, Gospels, Epistles and Revelation imagery, ALL ARE NOW PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN THE TRANSMISSION OF ANCIENT EGYPT'S SCROLLS AND PAPYRI into the hands of later generations which knew neither their true origin nor their fathomless meaning.
. . .from the scrolls of papyri five thousand to ten thousand years old , there comes stalking forth to view the whole story of an Egyptian Jesus raising from the dead an Egyptian Lazarus at an Egyptian Bethany, with two Egyptian Maries present...
Egypt had used the symbol of a Star rising in the east as the portent of coming Deity for millennia anterior to the Christian era.
Egypt had knelt at the shrine of the Madonna and child, Isis and Horus, for long centuries before a historical Mary lifted a historical Jesus in her arms.
Egypt had from remote time adored a Christ who had raised the dead and healed the lame, the blind, paralytic, leprous and all afflicted, who had restored speech to the dumb, exorcised demons from the possessed, dispersed his enemies with a word or a look, wrestled with his Satan adversary, overcame all temptation and performed the works of his heavenly Father to the victorious end.
Egypt had long known a Jesus, Lusa, who had been born amid celestial portents of an immaculate parenthood, circumcised, baptized, tempted, glorified on the mount, persecuted, arrested, tried, condemned, crucified, buried, resurrected and elevated to heaven.
Egypt had listened to the Sermon on the Mount and the sayings of Lusa for ages.
Egypt had known a Jesus who long antedated the Gospel Messiah and who presented to the student some one hundred and eight items of identity, similarity and correspondence in word, deed and function with his later copy.
Source : (Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Who is This King of Glory?, Elizabeth, N.J. Academy Press, 1944, pp. x-xi)
The above evidence of the Afrikan origin of Christianity made Prof John G. Jackson to conclude that:
The Egyptian influence on orthodox Christianity is far more profound than most people realize.
All of us have seen the CHI(X)-RHO(P) emblem displayed in many Christian churches, and reputed to be the sacred monogram of Christ.
This monogram, originally sacred to Horus, was known in Egypt thousands of years before the beginning of Christianity.
THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN BIBLE WAS DERIVED FROM THE SACRED BOOKS OF EGYPT SUCH AS: THE BOOK OF THE DEAD, THE PYRAMID TEXTS, and THE BOOKS OF THOTH.
However, we are not talking about today's version of Christianity which is nothing but a Western/White/Caucasian version of Christianity which exists to promote White Supremacy and the inferiority of Afrikan/ non-Western Religion and People .
Today's Christianity is therefore a deformation of Afrikanity which gave birth to it in the first place as its version or photocopy or counterfeit .
It is Afrikanity that has been Jewicized first, then, Westernized or Christianized as a stolen or kidnapped AfrikaReligion we now call Christianity .
And yet Judeo/Western Christianity and its twin sister Islam have erroneously been parading themselves all over the world as the first, new, unique and only religions of the world that have the monopoly of the Creator, Heaven, Hell, Salvation , Violence in the name of their Christian and Moslem Gods .

Queensland-based storage distributor, Independent Data Solutions Group (IDS-G), is looking to expand its operations across the country to match its already established business in Asia-Pacific.
The company is readying its Melbourne office to open in the New Year. Sydney and Perth will follow suit in February. The distributor already has an international presence with recently opened offices in New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Managing director, Stephen Robins, said customer and partner interest from Melbourne showed it to be a promising market.
"We are seeing a significant number of opportunities down there," he said.
IDG-S' current vendor line-up includes Titus, Atempo, Expand, McData, Fujitsu, Copan and FalconStor.
Robins said its expansion into new geographies would help vendors target a broader customer set. For example, FalconStor had not previously been represented by a distributor in Sydney or Melbourne, he said. The companies have had a relationship for the past two years.
Despite the rapid expansion of the business, Robins said his key objective was to build up its reputation over the next 12 months.

Fox News has paid millions to settle allegations of sexual harassment against ratings king Bill O'Reilly, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The Times uncovered settlements totaling $US13 million that were paid out to five women, in exchange for the women agreeing not to file lawsuits against O'Reilly or speak about their accusations.
The women's allegations, which date back to 2002, included complaints of verbal abuse, lewd comments, unwanted advances, and phone calls "in which it sounded as if Mr. O'Reilly was masturbating, according to documents and interviews."
Of the five settlements, two had already been reported on in the media: one involved $US9 million paid in 2004 to a producer, and the other was agreed on last year with a former on-air personality, which The Times reported on.
The other three settlements include sexual harassment claims and allegations of verbal abuse which involve O'Reilly allegedly criticising a producer in front of colleagues.
In addition to the women who received settlements, two others have also accused O'Reilly of inappropriate behaviour. Wendy Walsh, a regular guest on The O'Reilly Factor, was offered a paid contributor position at the network. After she refused an invitation to go to O'Reilly's hotel suite in 2013, he did not follow through on securing her a job at Fox News, according to The Times.
"I feel bad that some of these old guys are using mating strategies that were acceptable in the 1950s and are not acceptable now," Walsh said. "I hope young men can learn from this."
She added that relationships at work "should never happen when there is an imbalance of power and colleagues shouldn't unwittingly be manipulated into obtaining sex for somebody."
O'Reilly was also accused of sexual harassment by former Fox News personality Andrea Tantaros. Tantaros made the claims in a lawsuit she filed last summer against the network and former chairman Roger Ailes.
Ailes was ousted last summer after a number of sexual harassment allegations. After Ailes' exit — which included a $US40 million package — Fox News said there was no room at the company for behaviour that "disrespects women or contributes to an uncomfortable work environment."
Two of the company's executives, James and Lachlan Murdoch, said after Ailes' departure from the network that the company was committed to "maintaining a work environment based on trust and respect." Since that statement, the network has reached two settlements with women accusing O'Reilly of sexual misconduct, and become aware of another secret settlement O'Reilly reached in 2011.
When reached for comment by The Times about the newly-uncovered allegations against its primetime host, Fox News released a statement saying, "21st Century Fox takes matters of workplace behaviour very seriously."
It continued: "Notwithstanding the fact that no current or former Fox News employee ever took advantage of the 21st Century Fox hotline to raise a concern about Bill O'Reilly, even anonymously, we have looked into these matters over the last few months and discussed them with Mr. O'Reilly. While he denies the merits of these claims, Mr. O'Reilly has resolved those he regarded as his personal responsibility. Mr. O'Reilly is fully committed to supporting our efforts to improve the environment for all our employees at Fox News."
O'Reilly has denied that there is any merit to the allegations against him. O'Reilly hired crisis communications expert Mark Fabiani last week, who released a statement to The Times on behalf of O'Reilly.
"Just like other prominent and controversial people, I'm vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity," the statement said. "In my more than 20 years at Fox News Channel, no one has ever filed a complaint about me with the Human Resources Department, even on the anonymous hotline.
"But most importantly, I'm a father who cares deeply for my children and who would do anything to avoid hurting them in any way. And so I have put to rest any controversies to spare my children," it continued.
The statement also suggested that O'Reilly is a target of harassment claims because of his prominence and the revenue he rakes in for the network — he spearheads the top-rated cable news show in the country.
O'Reilly's lawyer, Frederic S. Newman, said in a statement Friday evening that they "are now seriously considering legal action to defend Mr. O'Reilly's reputation."

And people can say what the want, but I do miss the '70's, when wearing the least amount possible was the norm. I got into a conversation with a couple of guys at work over the weekend. They were commenting about nude beaches and how they should be outlawed. And they would never go to a nude beach simply because the sight would burn their eyes. My opinion, grow up and get off your pious soapbox.
I can't wait to get to Europe where people aren't so sexually pent up with these stupid Puritanical ideals.

Twitter Reactions: Rishabh Pant resorts to sledging Handscomb and Khawaja
During India's innings, Pant too got an earful from Pat Cummins.

The second day of the opening Test between India and Australia in Adelaide turned out to be in favour of the visiting team as they are still 59 runs ahead with just wickets to pick. The Aussies were caught napping owing to some disciplined Indian bowling and they went into their shell. In the meantime, there was an instance of sledging by wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.
At one point in time, Australia were reeling at 59 for three in the 28th over. The fourth-wicket stand was between Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb and the duo added 28 runs in 69 balls. The batters didn't take any risk whatsoever and played the Indian bowlers with utmost care. On the other hand, the Indian bowlers kept hitting the right channels time and again.
Rishabh Pant sledges the Aussies
Pant found this as an opportunity to get under the skins of the opponents' batsmen. The 21-year-old is pretty vocal and keeps saying something or the other from behind the wickets. To disturb the Aussie batsmen's concentration, he kept saying 'not everyone is Pujara here'. The keeper was somewhat successful in his intentions as the partnership couldn't stand the test of times.
Pujara was indeed a thorn in Australia's flesh in the first innings. The Saurashtra-born stalwart racked up 123 runs from 246 deliveries with seven boundaries and a couple of sixes. He was the only Indian batsman who put his head down in order to stave off the Aussie bowlers with sheer expertise. India, at one point in time, were reduced to 19 for three in the 11th over.
Pujara took his time to get going, but gradually got the measure of the conditions and the bowling. During India's innings, Pant too got an earful from Pat Cummins when he tried to slog him. All of this led to Pant returning the favour back to the Aussies.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Pant's sledging attempt:
"Everyone is not Pujara here, lads!" – Rishabh Pant chirps 😂
Good self-assessment I must say. 🤦🏽♂#AusvsInd
— Ananthasubramanian (@_chinmusic) December 7, 2018
"Everyone is not Pujara here" – Pant from behind the wickets! 😂😅
Khawaja to pant "I am not Rohit Sharma anyways." (Didn't say it though) 😂😂🤣🤣 #AUSvIND #AUSvsIND #Ashwin

Rishab Pant saying "everyone is not Pujara here" near the stump mic. Nice little banter going on. This is what makes test cricket so special to watch.#INDvsAUS #IndiavsAustralia #TestCricket
— Anas Hussain (@anas707) December 7, 2018
Khawaja seems to be understanding Hindi banter from Pant. #AUSvIND #AUSvsIND
— Bhargava Chittajallu (@bhargavac) December 7, 2018
"Everyone is not Pujara here guys, come on!"
If Kohli said these lines then media👇
– "Doesn't know how to respect opposition"
– "No Indian Captain behaved this way on-field till date"
– "Always sledges opposition in Overseas but doesn't win matches/series" #AUSvsIND #INDvsAUS
— Vijayendra Kosigi (@kosigi_vijay11) December 7, 2018
Rishab Pant started sledging #TravisHead as soon as he came out to bat
1. Not everyone is Pujara
2. Hometown boy is here
And then Head hit a 50 and rescued Australia…#AUSvIND #AUSvsIND #Australia #INDvAUS
— Vinesh Prabhu (@vinshyprabhu) December 7, 2018
Oh my word, Pant needs to shut up. He's forever talking. It's sledging apparently. Saying that "not everyone is Pujara here" isn't creative and we all saw how pujara like your stay at the crease was 🤦🏻♀ #AUSvIND.

Victor Vera is a singer and entertainer in Puerta Vallarta. He is a ton of fun, putting out videos from his living room. He looks like a biker and sings like an angel. He has followers from all over the world!
In between singing songs with his fellow Gecko Band mate, Tony Smurf, his wife Rosy reads out texts from listeners. They are truly an uplifting group, joking, dancing and currently dedicating songs to front line workers and first responders. Last show he was singing tunes by The Beatles, the Hip, Elton John….and even Dr. Hook!
The entertainer is using his talent, humor and big personality to raise funds for various projects. With support from his Mexican and foreign friends, Victor started a small foundation called Hand to Hand Brigade in September, 2015:
"Hand to Hand Brigade was born with the purpose of supporting and helping people who need a helping hand that fills them with hope. My band, THE GECKO BAND, invited several bands from the Vallarta community to participate in a great concert to raise funds to support a friend in her fight against cancer, followed by several more concerts for this same fight.
Hand to Hand Brigade resurfaced in the wake of the earthquake in Mexico in 2017, which affected several cities and towns. The mission of our Brigade, along with some volunteers, were taking care and tracking the help that was donated, and delivering it directly TO THE HANDS of those who needed it. We were also in charge of making sure that the aid was not used for political purposes in order to get benefits from those in need, which is what normally happens when you just drop off the help in collection centers. It happened to us in the beginning. This is why we decided to do it HAND TO HAND all the time."
Hand to Hand Brigade has been present in Tecuala Nayarit and surrounding villages giving aid after Hurricane Willa. They were also present in the community of Bucerias and Bahía de Banderas, giving help to those in need through the community centers.
To help with the Covid-19 crisis, Victor and his team started a campaign called 'And Who Cares For Them?' Here Victor tells us about it:
"We are asking for donations so we can support and take care of our nurses, doctors, bearers, and hospital staff, including cleaning staff, administration staff, ambulance staff, etc. Our government is not offering adequate security measures, so we've been buying and delivering mouth covers, N95 masks, gloves, disposable robes, safety glasses, hair caps, anti-bacterial gel, etc. Some things are out of stock everywhere, so it's very hard to get them, but so far we've found everything we need."
When not entertaining and raising funds for great causes, Victor and Rosy spend a lot of time together with their children. They go to the beach, swim and grocery shop with their children and grandkids. These days, due to Covid-19 and the time the two spend delivering much needed PPE in and out of hospitals, the couple cannot visit their family members like they want to. Their family and friends are what gets them through the tough times. And though they do not attach themselves to a specific religion, they attribute a lot of their happiness to a good relationship with God.

Victor and Rosy are grateful to everyone who has supported them, and would especially like to thank:Dr. Celia Loaeza, from the Intensive Care Area of the Social Security Clinic #42, Dr. Adriana Robles from Social Security Clinic #170, Tony "Smurf" (my bass player and Patty his wife), Dr. Ramon Samayoa to the new Medical Specialties Clinic, Juan Carlos Lopez from Roxy Rockhouse, Vanessa Lopez from the Social Security Clinic #170, Dr. Cynthia Zendejas from the Social Security Clinic #170, Nurse Yolanda Padilla from the Social Security Clinic #170, Nurse "Estelita" from the Social Security Clinic #42, Dr. Villarauz from the Social Security Clinic #170, Radiologist Salvador Delgado from the Social Security Clinic #42.

A popular diet supplement from a natural source: Garcinia Cambogia Extract is the product every customer will want to stock up on
Garcinia cambogia is a well-known supplement with an established position on the UK market.Garcinia Cambogia itself is a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit, sometimes referred to as Tamarind, which is usually grown in Southeast Asia.
The active ingredient in the fruit's rind – hydroxycitric acid (HCA) – is thought to block a portion of the enzyme citrate lyase, which the human body uses to turn sugars and starches into fat. It also appears to raise levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which in turn increases the level of satiety. Garcinia cambogia is therefore widely used as a dietary aid, being commonly referred to as fatburner.
Our Garcinia Cambogia Extract supplements come in bovine gelatin hard capsules and with the highest allowed concentration of HCA of 60%, it is very effective, while still being fully UK compliant.

This is a question I am frequently asked, but there are two parts to this question; what is the hardest part of having triplets and what is the hardest part about Down syndrome? Triplets and Down syndrome are hard by themselves, not going to sugar coat it. There are times when I feel like I am NEVER going to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but the answer is probably not what you are expecting.
Most people expect the answers to be about raising or caring for them. How do you feed three babies at one time? This is pretty easy for most triplet moms… bottle propping. Not the case with my trio though. Coldon has feeding difficulties and we have to hold him and the bottle in a certain manner, so we absolutely could not bottle prop him. Greyson suffered from reflux and colic until he was about four months old, so we couldn't prop a bottle for him either. This has definitely been hard, especially when they all want to eat at the same time, but this isn't the hardest part of having triplets for me.
Triplets are almost always going to be premature and prematurity affects a baby's development; when and how they hit milestones and how they sleep. Coldon has for the most part been a good sleeper. He started sleeping through the night around four-five months old. Greyson and Ella on the other hand didn't start sleeping through the night until around seven months old. I thought the four month sleep regression was going to kill us. It was merciless… the sleep deprivation from day one was unrelenting and exhausting. However, they sleep through the night now and their sleeping patterns haven't been the hardest part for me.
The next part of the question, what is the hardest part of Down syndrome, isn't what you think it is either. Thankfully, Coldon's greatest struggle with his diagnosis has been feeding difficulties. It is absolutely frustrating at times and we're under constant stress and worry if he is getting enough nutrition. We also had an ongoing, horrible experience with his G-tube. He has some medical complications, requiring frequent doctors appointments and weekly therapy, however, this isn't the hardest part about Down syndrome for me.
For me, the hardest part about having triplets and Down syndrome is not being able to spend enough one on one time with Coldon, Ella and Greyson individually. Most people know how demanding one baby or toddler can be, we'll just multiply that by three, and know a child with "special needs" is going to require more attention.
There are many nights I go to bed and I feel like I hardly got to see Ella or Greyson and I was with them all day. Coldon isn't any different than them, but he does require more attention. It takes longer to feed him; when he had his G-tube, cleaning and venting air from the tube was a constant. Now we are dressing the healing stoma (this is a two person job). When Coldon is upset, he can't handle the emotions as well as Ella and Greyson, so it takes longer to calm him down and typically, I have to hold him for a while. Having many doctors' appointments and therapies means I'm constantly on the go with Coldon and away from Ella and Greyson. Occasionally, I will take one of them with us, or I get someone to go with me so we can take all three, but taking three babies to the hospital or doctors offices can be a nightmare and I don't like exposing them to things in those places.
I recently watched the movie,"Wonder." I loved the stories being told from the different characters perspective. However, as I was watching it, I was reminded me of my reality. There are often times when I feel like our world evolves around Coldon and Ella & Greyson are in the background. I started crying during the movie when Auggie's sister, Via, told others she was an only child. I immediately thought about Ella when she's 15.
Having to separate my time between the three of them and Coldon requiring more attention is absolutely the hardest aspect of being a triplet mom and having a baby with Down syndrome. However, I am not going to let this become a problem. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Ella and Greyson are not in the background and make sure they know they are all equally loved!
I am currently taking steps to improve this situation for myself and them, by taking at least one day a week to take each baby, individually, out of the house with me. Even if it's nasty out and we only get to take a car ride, we're getting out. I can fulfill my need to spend time with them individually and they know they are loved and treated equally! My grandma used to take my brother, cousin and I out once a month and she called it "grandma & grandkid day." Well, I'm instituting "Momma & Coldon day," "Momma & Ella day" and "Momma & Greyson day!"
When I take them somewhere, by themselves, they get so excited and I know without them telling me how happy they are, they love spending this time alone with me. I pray doing things like this will help to fill my wistful need to spend individual time with them and it will no longer be "the hardest part of triplets and Down syndrome."

The long aura period which goes before my need to be in a dark room lying on my back or side usually involves odd perspective - suddenly I look down at my feet and they are a long way off. And yes, I can see my feet, in spite of being fat, how nice of you to ask - big feet, you see. Once when I had a migraine triggered by strobe effects in a piece about dams and casinos at the Turner Prize exhibition at the old Tate, now Tate British, I found it made worse by the hallway which has a sort of rococo dome with lots of curved skylights in it.
After a long walk yesterday afternoon, Polly, Lisa and I fetched up at Tate Modern and went in to look at this big exhibit of a yellow globe floating in mist and people underneath it looking up at themselves in a mirrored ceiling . And being in there made me feel ill, even quicker than being in Tate Modern usually does. I really think that the odd perspective thing has moved from a symptom to a cause, because we got out of there and I was just feeling OK again when we got to the new Paternoster Square, which is a piazza shaped as an irregular polygon, which the eye keeps trying to interpret as a rectangle. And I started to feel nauseous just being there - condemned to architectural old fogeyism by a trick of neurology.
Alternatively Lovecraft was right and the Old Ones are trying to return through subtle distortions of geometry, aided by modernist art. But hey! anyone but Bush includes Cthulhu, right?
I saw 'The Barbarian Invasions' and found it full of bad faith. Canadian health care can be as heavily affected by cuts as the NHS, and is nonetheless good - the film represented Canadian hospitals as slums in which you can only get good care by bribery. I've had my life saved by socialized medicine, and not been reduced to penury as a result; my dying father could not have had better care, just a nicer room in which to die. I can't help feeling that Arcaud shaded his representation of Canadian health care with the views of the American public in mind and if that is not true, then how come the son gets good care through bribery rather than paying for his father to move into the private sector?
Elsewhere in the film, I found deeply weird the sense that this bunch of academics are going all elegaiac about the end of their lives when they are marginally younger than me. Some of us keep finding new stuff to care about in our fifties thankyou very much and have non-rapacious equal relationships with people decades younger. I also found irritating Arcaud's indulgence to this crowd's erstwhile infantile leftism - some of us had radical politics in the sixties without for a second being fooled by third-world Stalinism. Some of us read Emma Goldman on the consequences of 1917 and did not need Solzhenitsyn to tell us about the gulags. And oddly, many of us who were anarcho-pacifists in the 60s did not sell out in the 80s or 90s.
On the other hand, I rewatched 'Chasing Amy' and was struck by how good Ben Affleck used to be, which makes his recent terrible performances more unforgivable. 'Chasing Amy' is not as problematic as it used to look - it has that irritating surface laddishness that often takes Smith over altogether, but it does ask some worthwhile questions about lads and their sexuality, and comes up with a fairly tragic central perception. Sometimes love is not enough - sexuality and gender and class and race and mere bad luck or bad timing get in the way and blow our arses off. Maybe it was just late at night, but I actually cried a couple of times in the big overblown speeches that Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams give so much to.
Oh, and the Season Two finale of Alias was pretty ace - I really wish we were going to see Season Three on UK terrestrial, but looks like it is going to be DVD only...

The ground is shifting beneath our feet. Technology and globalization continue to uproot and reshape daily life and economics. Digital platforms connect billions around the planet in ever more complex networks of data and exchange. So why haven't our legal systems kept up? The complexity of today's global, digital economy, together with the advent of AI, blockchain technology, and machine learning, has pushed law to its limits, making it too expensive, too complicated, and too far out of touch with our needs. Gillian Hadfield believes we need to radically rethink how we make the rules for the 21st century. In Rules for a Flat World, she argues the legal sector can harness the same ingenuity, diversity, and investment that is powering global innovation.

Apparel barcode supplier Brand I.D. triples growth
July 22, 2009 - United States Of America
Pick a piece of clothing off the rack anywhere in the world and you're increasingly likely to find the label or tag to be made by Brand I.D. Headquartered in Costa Mesa, Calif., and Hong Kong, Brand I.D., an apparel barcode and trim supplier, has seen business triple since 2005, with growth averaging 25 percent year over year. It combines unique style with advanced trim management for hundreds of clothing manufacturers worldwide, including Calvin Klein, Vans, Oakley, Speedo, Quiksilver and Guess.
The company was the vision of partners Andrew Hockaday and Colin Cormac, who applied Hockaday's background in garment manufacturing and Cormac's trim and technological expertise for its first customer in 1997. "The street wear and sportswear companies were doing something unique, with labeling and tags that was more advanced and graphically driven," Hockaday says. "Design and development were important to our customers, and we have definitely able to give them what they needed."
What Brand I.D. gives companies are boutique-style trims with a custom-designed Web-enabled application that allows clients and their suppliers to interact using common electronic data interchange formats for an industry-leading supply chain solution. Customers can also order from an extensive yet intuitive online module.
Both methods developed by Brand I.D. are designed to not only provide customers with immediate round-the-clock access to their critical information, they also result in huge savings in operational costs savings and up-to-the-minute on-time deliveries. Brand I.D. runs these systems lean, with minimal personnel overhead. "Our software enables us to do more with less, which in turn saves time and money, and these savings are passed on to our customers," says Hockaday. "Efficiency has become more important than ever in today's tough economic times. We are dealing with millions of items and we need real-time information on where they are in the production process."
But have customers' millions of items dwindled in the last year as the retail business has suffered? Hockaday says not as much as one would expect. Brand I.D., even with its long list of high-profile clients, is selective about its clients, choosing to partner with only very strong brands. "We have actually seen an increase in our business because customers see us as better alternative to some of the more traditional 'old school' processes that they have employed in the past," Hockaday says. "We don't know of a competitor that has as extensive or sophisticated process as ours anywhere in the world."
Brand I.D.
is the world's most sophisticated apparel barcode and trim supplier. Combining a proprietary Web-enabled inventory system with boutique-style designs, the Costa Mesa, Calif. - and Hong Kong-based company serves its clients with enterprise level sophistication.

'Sharif issue is Pak's internal matter'
Despite being contrary to the ruling by Pakistan's Supreme Court, US feels deportation of former premier is an internal matter.world Updated: Sep 11, 2007, 12:07 IST
The United States has said the deportation of former premier Nawaz Sharif was contrary to the ruling by Pakistan's Supreme Court, but insisted it was for Islamabad to resolve its internal matter.
"It's a matter for Pakistanis to resolve.... This agreement that was arrived at among the Pakistani government, Nawaz Sharif, his brother and the Saudi government -- we're not party to that. It's up to the parties involved to interpret that agreement as they will," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters in Washington.
".... I would note only as a factual matter that the Pakistani Supreme Court has made a judgment about this issue, and that the decision to deport Sharif runs contrary to that," he said, adding it was still a pending legal matter.
"So we're not going to have anything to say about it. But this is wholly, entirely a Pakistani issue to resolve."
McCormack refuted suggestions that the developments had anything to do with the presence of Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Richard Richard Boucher in Pakistan."
As a matter of fact, it's coincidence that the timing of this particular strategic dialogue takes place right now.
"This is something that had been scheduled prior to the political calendar, shall we say, that's unfolding now in Pakistan," the spokesman said.
The spokesman said those involved in the existing "political transition" in the country should work within the framework of the Pakistani law and insisted that the US' main interest was in seeing elections that are "free, fair and transparent, and consistent with Pakistani law and the Constitutions."

The stacks look like small shrines to mountain solitude, carefully balanced at the edge of a precipice. But when Zion National Park posted the photo, in September, the social-media coördinators for the park included a plea: "Please, enjoy the park but leave rocks and all natural objects in place." The post noted the "curious but destructive practice" of building small stone towers, and said, "stacking up stones is simply vandalism."
The balancing of stones is an elementary kind of creation, not unlike the building of sand castles. Stone stacks, or cairns, have prehistoric origins. They marked Neolithic burial grounds in what is now Scotland, guided nautical travels in Scandinavia, and served as shrines to the Inca goddess Pachamama in Peru. Contemporary stone stackers, then, are taking up the mantle of an ancient and artistic tradition. In the past decade or so, though, there has been an explosion of cairns around the world—in national parks, in the Scottish Highlands, on the beaches of Aruba. Park rangers, environmentalists, and hikers have all become alarmed, to varying degrees. The movement of so many stones can cause erosion, damage animal ecosystems, disrupt river flow, and confuse hikers, who depend on sanctioned cairns for navigation in places without clear trails.
The posts found within the #RockStacks and #StoneStacking hashtags on Instagram range from amateurish (a couple of stones against the backdrop of the ocean) to seriously impressive (round stones balanced improbably, or a sharp rock standing on end atop a pebble). It is common for multiple stacks to appear in a single picture; they look like chimneys or gravestones or maybe the ruins of a lost civilization. Inspired by social-media posts, new rock stackers are taking up the hobby, and the piles of stones are proliferating along with the pictures of them. After all, replication is not only a side effect of social media; it's part of the point.

The Rainbow Dragons Trove -
There is a glaring lack of LGBTQ+ welcoming spaces that aren't alcohol-based. The Rainbow Dragons' Trove is just that - a place where anyone (queer or not) can relax, play some games, and have a cup of tea without judgement. I'm Alice - a transgender asexual woman - and starting this shop is basically my dream.
Initially, I need to establish myself as an online retailer and pop-up stall. Amidst COVID and the recession, a brick-and-mortar shop is impossible. The target goal is what I need to get the stall and stock for a few months. We'll have a couple of tables, some tabletop gaming merchandise, and a vending machine for tea. To protect people, everyone will have access to (free) X-Tokens which can be placed on the table to stop a conversation then and there without needing explanation. This will be enforced by the management.
Ultimately, this creates a space where people can sit and chill, play some games, or just chat over a cup of tea.
Initially, I was going to get a loan from the government but that fell through. Nevertheless, I think that this is something that needs to exist. The Rainbow Dragons' Trove needs to exist.
If this GoFundMe doesn't reach its full amount, I intend to set myself up as just an online retailer until I can save enough to open the actual store. Initially, the goal was much lower, but I realised that an online retailer can't create the space I want. It's a stepping stone, a fallback option that I'd rather avoid, so I'm stepping up and asking for the amount to get the stall going.
One day, I intend to move to a full bricks-and-mortar location complete with cafe and LGBTQ+ books. For now though, all I ask is for the help to get started. Help me help the South Yorkshire LGBTQ+ community by creating a space that doesn't require you to be an adult, or to drink alcohol, or to hook up with people. Help me create a space that doesn't have to be hidden away after hours, where anyone can sit down and relax without worrying about the world for a while. The first location would be based in Sheffield, and hopefully, I would be able to expand to other stores and support LGBTQ+ communities across the UK.
Above all else, this is my goal.
I have always strived to be the person I needed when I was younger. To me, The Rainbow Dragons' Trove will be the place I needed when I was younger and unless I'm mistaken, the place people need today.

As part of Warner Bros.' CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, the studio showcased a sizzle reel for Wonder Woman 2, which is about to start production this summer. Director Patty Jenkins confirmed a long-held rumor that the sequel is set in the 1980s. The director added that Gal Gadot's title character will be avoiding the "temptations" of a world outside her homeland of Themyscira while facing "incredible odds". When the word "odds" was said, the video showed a comic book image of the villain Cheetah, who will be played by Kristen Wiig. The director also mentioned that Diana Prince will be at the "height of her powers during this sequel".
While the villainous Cheetah had previously been confirmed, there had long been rumors about the story being set in the 1980s, but they were never made official until now. We first heard about the potential 1980s setting back in July, just a month after Wonder Woman debuted in theaters. While many had assumed the sequel would return to the present-day timeline that bookends the main story in the first Wonder Woman, this new story set in the 1980s will allow the sequel to bring back Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, who will likely have to be aged up quite a bit.
That report from July also claimed that the sequel would find Diana doing battle against the Russians towards the end of the Cold War. Patty Jenkins did not confirm any Cold War or Russian connections to this story in her brief CinemaCon video, nor did she confirm that Chris Pine's Steve Trevor will even be brought back for this story. It's possible that this sequel could use the same format of using present-day scenes at the beginning and end of the sequel, while the main story is told during the 1980s.
The first Wonder Woman begins in present-day Paris, where Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) continues her work at the Louvre as the Curator for the Department of Antiquities. She receives a photographic plate featuring the image she had been seeking in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a photo of her from 100 years ago in World War I with Steve Trevor and the rest of their team. The movie ends in the present day again, with Diana sending a thank-you email to Bruce Wayne, which helped set the stage for Justice League. It's possible the sequel could follow a similar format, thus setting up Justice League 2, but that has yet to be confirmed.
Director Patty Jenkins is working on the script for Wonder Woman 2 with Dave Callaham (The Expendables 2. We reported in March that Narcos star Pedro Pascal is coming aboard the sequel in a mystery role, while the original Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, who starred in the iconic 1970s TV series, is also in talks to join the cast for this sequel, although her role remains unknown as well. Production is slated to begin this June on location in the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C area, with filming also taking place in the U.K. You can head over to io9 for their report on the Warner Bros. CinemaCon panel.

One day everyone thinks it's ruining football, the next there are cries for it to be implemented.
Welcome to a day in the life of VAR.
Just yesterday there was a lot of disquiet on Twitter during the Liverpool West Brom game as Craig Pawson kept using his video assistant.
CLAIM YOUR FREE £20 BET Sun Bets have this brilliant offer when you sign up and bet a fiver
Unfortunately for City, there was no VAR at the Cardiff City stadium which meant they were disallowed a perfectly good goal.
Let's not start on the complete mess the officials made of deciding it.
Bernardo Silva burst down the right, cut onto his *cultured* left foot and blasted home from just inside the area, doubling City's lead after this beautiful Kevin De Bruyne free kick.
PLAY DREAM TEAM WEEKENDER Pick seven players to win £5k!
Crowd go wild, players are celebrating except the linesman disallows it for Leroy Sane being in an offside position, just, and getting in the keeper's eye line.
Then the referee overrides the linesman and points to the centre circle signifying a goal.
By this stage everyone is very confused as to what is going on but a look at the BBC scoreboard tells you it's 2-0 to City.
Afraid not Pep.
By the time viewers at home see live pictures again the players are lined up for a goal kick and play has resumed.
The issue has split everyone in the football world and we're not sure what the resolution is.
It is a valid point to the FA that some games in the cup have VAR and others don't.
On the whole it didn't matter too much for City as they completely dominated Cardiff and Raheem Sterling gave them the two-goal lead not long after.
The quadruple is on.
- Kevin De Bruyne's under-the-wall free kick will make you drool
- Jurgen Klopp went full Brendan Rodgers after losing to West Brom
- Everyone is confused after Umbro announce weird new signing for Man City

COVID-19 has caused the world to adjust to social distancing, which can be especially tough for those with loved ones in senior living. Whether your loved one is in assisted living, memory care, or any other type of long-term care, you likely will be met with new policies that limit visitation to see them in person to help keep them safe. However, in today's world, there are more options than ever before to keep in touch with your loved one. Here are a few of the most commonly used tools in senior living to ensure that people are keeping the social in social distancing.
Why not help your older loved one learn a new skill while enjoying the benefits of (almost) face-to-face conversation? You can encourage them to learn video chat software like Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom. Your loved one's senior living community will likely have staff helping them with the technology aspect of connecting with you. Most will also reach out to help coordinate the time of the chat. Experts have stated that the benefits go beyond keeping in touch with you by saying, "Once they're comfortable using the tech, they will have access to a lot of the resources that we're all using to get through this too: staying connected with friends and community, being able to participate in virtual events, online book clubs, and video lunch dates — some of the things we need to stay connected." The silver lining to all of this can be that your loved one gets to learn a new skill.
Trending Technology
Does your loved one's assisted living or memory care community have preexisting technology in-place that kept you virtually connected with them prior to this? If so, that technology didn't go anywhere. Various photo sharing and family communication technologies are used across senior living and can be extra valuable to you during this time. To learn more about what your loved one's community offers, contact the building to learn more.
Phone Calls
One of the simplest methods for all parties involved is a simple phone call. There's no new technology for the senior to learn and you still get to hear each other's voices and have a real-time conversation. Professionals in the technology field have claimed that, "Texting and emailing are often useful for quick, logistical, or low-priority communications, but…. for more complex matters, spoken conversations can't be replaced." Therefore, replacing in-person conversation with phone calls is much more effective than with written means of communication like texting or emailing.
Letters/Photo Messages
If you are committed to the idea of written communication, there is a fun and more personal way to do so. There's nothing quite like a handwritten letter, especially for seniors. If the idea of touching mail doesn't sit well with you, you can also write out your letter on a whiteboard or piece of paper and send a photo of it to your loved one via text or email. It can also help improve the mental health of your elderly loved one. According to Domtar, "Research shows that handwriting letters and notes enhances cognition, creativity and social skills." So, if you're looking for fun ways to stay connected, use some of the extra time you now have to write out a letter for your loved one.
At Poet's Walk, a Spring Hills Memory Care Community, we offer all of these tools to help accommodate you and your loved ones during these difficult times. To learn more about our safe approaches to keeping family members connected to their senior loved ones, contact your local community for more information.
