Now, a decade later, Zak's experiencing a entirely new moment in the sun.
|Promdemonium! from 2012's Spring Fling.
This being the annual Spring Promenade for the Columbus Academy for the Blind, wrist corsages are all the rage, and gentlemen's walking sticks pull double-duty. "One-Eyed Zak", as his friends call him, hopes he can fulfill his royal duties with grace and aplomb.
"Zak is just a real cool honcho. He doesn't even try to make us feel bad about having at least one eye that's like 20/80 vision or that he can wink at non-blind girls or anything." offered sightless classmate Justin Traber.
Wheaton won 91% of the vote, which was the first of its kind at the school.
"I've let my fingers do the judging, and Zak is a total hottie. I'm one lucky girl." said senior cheerleader and 2013 Prom Queen Courtney Swallows-Cox. "Last year I ended up with a total dog. Not the seeing-eye variety, either."

Vogster's comic-book inspired brawler for the PlayStation Portable will be following Patapon 2's lead and skipping UMD entirely, releasing directly onto the PlayStation Store this July 16th.
Unbound Saga, announced at the New York City Comic Con earlier this year, is a beat-em up game with comic book flair, and now one of the first third-party PSP titles to skip UMD release entirely. It looks like this is going to be a growing trend. Just ask Mario Kroll, Director of Marketing at Vogster.
"We expect to see a growing trend where highly anticipated releases such as UNBOUND SAGA will bypass the UMD format and the often challenging retail environment, being instead delivered directly to consumers. It certainly is a 'win' for both content producers and gamers alike —- it avoids an unpopular delivery medium and costly manufacturing, while improving the timing and availability of great content to consumers when they demand it."
Another hint at the release of a new, UMD-less PSP in the near future, or just a matter of convenience?

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a museum of modern and contemporary art located in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France.[1] It is a branch of Pompidou arts centre of Paris, and features semi-permanent and temporary exhibitions from the large collection of the French National Museum of Modern Art, the largest European collection of 20th and 21st century arts. The museum is the largest temporary exhibition space outside Paris in France with 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft) divided between 3 galleries, a theatre, and an auditorium.
The first piece of the monument designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was laid on November 7, 2006, and the building was inaugurated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy on May 12, 2010.[2] The building is remarkable for its roof structure, one of the largest and most complex built to date, which was inspired by a Chinese hat found in Paris by Shigeru Ban.[3]
Since its inauguration, the institution has become one of the most visited cultural venues in France outside Paris.[4][5]
The Centre Pompidou-Metz is a large hexagon structured round a central spire reaching 77 m (253 ft), alluding to the 1977 opening date of the original Centre Pompidou of Paris. It possesses three rectangular galleries (Gallery 1, 2, and 3) weaving through the building at different levels, jutting out through the roof with huge picture windows angled towards landmarks such as the Saint-Stephen Gothic cathedral, the Imperial railway station, the Arsenal Concert Hall built by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, the Arènes indoor sport arena built by French architect Paul Chemetov, and the Seille park. The great nave covers 1,200 m2 (13,000 sq ft) and provides flexibility for the exhibition of large artworks, with the ceiling rising progressively from a height of 5.7 m (19 ft) to 18 m (59 ft).
The roof is the major achievement of the building: a 90 m (300 ft) wide hexagon echoing the building's floor map. With a surface area of 8,000 m2 (86,000 sq ft), the roof structure is composed of sixteen kilometres of glued laminated timber, that intersect to form hexagonal wooden units resembling the cane-work pattern of a Chinese hat. The roof's geometry is irregular, featuring curves and counter-curves over the entire building, and in particular the three exhibition galleries. Imitating this kind of hat and its protective fabric, the entire wooden structure is covered with a white fibreglass membrane and a coating of teflon, which has the distinction of being self-cleaning, protecting from direct sunlight, while providing a transparent view at night. The roof structure can be seen from high up during both day and night in Metz from above, an aerial movie made by French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.[6]
The Centre Pompidou-Metz includes also a restaurant terrace, for which French designer Patrick Jouin and Kenyan architect Sanjit Manku produced interior spaces inspired by the image of a kaleidoscope. The museum-surrounding garden has been thought by French landscape architect Jean de Gastine using the concepts of sustainable gardening.
The museum is the cornerstone of the newly created Amphitheater District of Metz. The district of 50 ha (123.6 acres), thought by French architects Nicolas Michelin, Jean-Paul Viguier, and Christian de Portzamparc, and designer Philippe Starck, is currently under construction and includes the edification of a convention centre and a shopping mall. The quarter encompasses already the Seille park designed by French landscape architect Jacques Coulon and the Arènes indoor sport arena built in 2002. The urban project completion is expected to take place by 2016. Swiss designer Ruedi Baur created the Metz's signage systems.
The Centre Pompidou-Metz and its forecourt, named Human Rights square, are built on the site of the Roman amphitheatre of Divodurum Medriomaticum (ancestor of present-day Metz), near the Metz Imperial District and the Station Palace.
The Centre Pompidou-Metz also displays around 3 to 4 unique temporary exhibitions per year, which are not presented elsewhere. Most of the artworks exhibited are from the large collection of the National Museum of Modern Art, which encompasses the largest European collection of modern and contemporary arts and the second in the world. The museum works in close collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Luxembourgian Museum of Modern Art, or the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe in joint initiatives.
The Centre Pompidou-Metz promotes the local art scene in collaborating with the Regional Contemporary Art Fund of Lorraine. In addition to the temporary exhibitions, the Centre Pompidou-Metz museum features seasonal programming with contemporary live shows in its theater and organizes meetings and conferences in its auditorium with worldly recognized, as well as, local artists.
The Centre Pompidou-Metz edifice and surrounding Metz are sometimes used as support for the artistic production displayed during the temporary exhibitions. For example, the architectural structure of the Centre Pompidou-Metz was used as support for a visual art project by French visual artists Simon Geilfus, Yannick Jacquet, and Thomas Vaquié.[7] Also, French aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand captured Metz from high up, giving a privileged views of the museum and the city for the exhibition Views from above.[6]

The Centre Pompidou-Metz is located in the centre of Metz and is served by Mettis local public transport. Also, the museum is located near the Imperial railway station of Metz, which is connected to the French high speed train network via the LGV East line, which provides a direct rail service to Paris and the city of Luxembourg. The time from Paris East station and France international Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to Metz railway station is about 82 and 75 minutes, respectively. Finally, Metz is located at the intersection of two major road axes: the Paris to Strasbourg A4 motorway and the A31 north-south motorway.
Based entirely on loans from the collection at French National Museum of Modern Art, the Beacons exhibition is semi-permanent exhibition that highlights since 2014 a selection of 18 masterpieces rarely shown to the public due to their monumental size. The exhibition's staging provides an overview of the primary movements in art since the start of the 20th century, from Pablo Picasso to Anish Kapoor including Sam Francis, Joseph Beuys, Dan Flavin, and Joan Miró.[8] Art works exhibited include:
The inaugural exhibition called Masterpieces? was devoted to masterpieces (about 800), of which over 700 were lent by the Centre Georges Pompidou of Paris. The exhibition considered the relevance of the idea of masterpiece and ran until January 17, 2011. The exhibition has attracted over 800,000 visitors during the following year of its inauguration and included:

How a Toyota Tundra Managed to Tow a Space Shuttle - Toyota Parts Blog
In October, the Space Shuttle Endeavor crawled its way through Los Angeles city streets to its final resting place at the California Science Center.
Along the way, it got a little help from Toyota. According to CBS News, a Tundra pickup pulled the space shuttle over the Manchester Boulevard bridge on Interstate 405. You can see the tow in the commercial below.
USA Today reported the Texas-made Tundra pulled the space shuttle and transportation rig, which has a combined weight of 307,000 pounds. AutoBlog.com said a special tow dolly was developed for pulling the space shuttle by a heavy-lifting engineering firm.
Some people thought it wasn't real. We can tell you, it really did happen.
According to the Toyota Tundra Endeavour website, Toyota practiced the haul using concrete blocks. The Tundra that they used didn't have any special modifications. It was a totally stock truck with OEM Tundra parts. You can see the test video below.
With the Toyota Tundra, you can expect to get great horsepower for hauling ability. Besides space shuttles, it's great for hauling boats and trailers.
What do you think of the Tundra? Leave your comments below. We'd love to hear from you!

In My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding ancient traditions meet modern fashion when girls as young as 15 and their families compete to have the most outrageous weddings. This observational documentary follows the public spectacle of these over-the-top affairs as four gypsy brides prepare for their wedding day. Many girls get married after their 16th birthday with the support of their family.
The weddings are visual spectacles – the brides compete to have the most flamboyant dresses that sometimes weigh more than the bride herself. Gaining rare access into this fascinating and often misunderstood community, the film uses the premise of weddings to reveal a culture where sex before marriage is taboo and divorce is unheard of.
Used to being taunted, this is a community that lives alongside but detached from mainstream society. It is a community of contrasts, living by centuries old religious and cultural traditions but at the same time embracing the garish extremes of the celebrity and fashion-obsessed times in which we live....

"Ingredients for Increased Student Engagement" (http://schoolnutrition.org/engage) was designed for school nutrition professionals at all levels to help you open the lines of communication and empower students to become more involved in your school meal program. SNA's marketing team was fortunate to have had the opportunity to lead conversations with Fuel Up to Play 60 Student Ambassadors to learn what students are thinking when it comes to school meals. The Youth Engagement Network Pilot was designed to help us better understand student perceptions of school meals; we worked with Student Ambassadors to identify barriers to school meal participation, dispel myths surrounding school meals, and create some "best practices" for effective student/cafeteria collaboration. We've made a printable, full-color summary that's perfect for sharing with your school nutrition team; download and print copies to review, and start brainstorming with your staff on how to increase awareness of and participation in school meals in your cafeteria.

**This article is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.**
The American Quarter Horse Association has been ordered by Federal District Judge Mary Lou Robinson to pay $891,387 in attorney fees to the plaintiffs who successfully sued the AQHA for violating antitrust laws. (To read more about the lawsuit, click here.)
Generally, attorney fees are not recoverable under Texas law unless they are permitted by statute or by contract. The federal antitrust statute that the jury found was violated by the AQHA provides that anyone "injured in his business or property by reason of anything forbidden in the antitrust laws…shall recover…a reasonable attorney fee." Based upon this, the plaintiffs sought nearly $900,000 in attorney fees from the AQHA.
After the jury found in favor of the plaintiffs, the court took the attorney fee issue under consideration. Judge Robinson ordered the plaintiffs to provide their billing records to the AQHA for review. The AQHA chose not to contest the hourly rates charged by the plaintiff's lawyers, or the number of hours claimed on the bills. Instead, the AQHA argued that because the jury did not award any monetary damages to the plaintiffs, no attorney fees should be allowed.
In her order (read full order here), Judge Robinson found that the AQHA's position that because plaintiffs recovered no damages they could recover attorney fees "must fail." The judge found that the violation of the antitrust statutes and the evidence presented by the plaintiffs that the AQHA's exclusion of cloned animals created a monopoly and de-valued the clones was sufficient injury to entitle them to recover their attorney fees pursuant to the statute. In summary, because the jury found that the AQHA violated the antitrust statutes, Judge Robinson held that the plaintiffs were entitled to attorney fees under those statutes.

None of us want to think about caring for elderly parents, much less talk about it. However, you need to realize that one day your mother or father may require a certain degree of care. The more prepared you are, the less stressful this may be for the entire family.
We will cover in this article:
If you are nominated to help with your elder parent's care, you are going to face a few challenges. According to an article from LifeHacker.com, the first step is to find out what your parent's wishes and needs are. This is the perfect opportunity to have a family discussion to find out if your parents have any plans in place.
If your parents wish to remain in their own home, you will need to assess the level of assistance they require. Take into account:
Eating habits
Can your parents still cook for themselves?
Are they able to bathe and change clothes? Are they neglecting their cleanliness?
Are you parents able to deal with mail and keep appointments or have you noticed them becoming more forgetful? Do they leave pots on the stove to burn?
Are your parents still mobile? Can they get up and down the stairs, in and out of bed, and shower without falling? Are they able to drive safely?
The stress of taking care of elderly parents can be immense. If you decide that home care for your elderly parents is the best way to go, use the following five tips to make the transition easier.
Anticipate Their Caring Needs
Gather the family together to discuss how you will care for mom or dad before there is a crisis situation. According to an interesting article from WebMD, Anticipating the level of care required and who will look after your parents are best decided upon before an emergency happens. Sit the family down and discuss what you want to do and who will be responsible for what from financial, healthcare, and everyday care perspectives.
Openly Discuss It With Your Parents
You need to discuss these issues with your parents while they are still in good physical and mental health. Talk about things like healthcare, assisted living, where your parents would like to live, and who they would prefer to take care of their finances and daily activities.
Talk About Finances
The stress of taking care of elderly parents is immense without having to worry about finances. Enlist the help of a financial planner if you plan on looking after your parent alone, or if your parent's finances aren't in order.
Consider The Cost Of Keeping Parents At Home
Most elderly parents prefer to remain in the familiarity of their own home, surrounded by their memories and possessions. Determine how much it will cost to keep your parents in their home if any renovations need to be made to accommodate their changing mobility needs, and how much it will cost to enlist the help of someone to run errands, do chores, and manage their daily needs. You may not be able to handle all of this yourself, especially if you have a full-time job and your own family to look after.
Consider Professional Assistance
Caring for elderly parents can be challenging, particularly if their needs are extensive. You may want to consider professional in-home assistance from someone who can create a care plan and identify your parent's needs and then match them with the appropriate services. The responsibility for looking after an aging parent can be daunting, so it's important to remember that you can reach out for help with your elderly parent's care.

The advertising industry has tried for decades with little success to shed its "Mad Men"-like reputation as a profession dominated by white men. Now, some of the world's biggest brands are viewing that lack of diversity as a liability.
In the last two months, three major brands have publicly put pressure on the agencies they work with to hire more women and minorities. The latest was Verizon, which joined General Mills and HP Inc., formerly a part of Hewlett-Packard, in telling agencies that a failure to do so could drive its business elsewhere.
The efforts reflect a growing concern among marketers that Madison Avenue's largely white, male leadership may be hindering their efforts to connect with American consumers.
Diego Scotti, chief marketing officer for Verizon, sent letters to 11 of the agencies the company works with on Sept. 16, describing diversity as "an explicit business objective." He gave the firms a month to submit details on how many women and minorities they employed across different roles and in senior leadership and asked for "action plans" describing how they would increase those numbers in the future.
"Marketers are expected to have a deep understanding and insight about their markets, about decision makers and about customers," Mr. Scotti said in the letter, which has not been made public but was provided to The New York Times by Verizon this week. "We are more likely to create solutions that amaze our customers if our work force and suppliers represent the communities we serve."
Verizon borrowed some of the language it used from letters HP sent to its agencies in August, urging them to hire more women in part because women buy about half of its computers and printers. General Mills, in seeking a new creative agency this summer, made headlines for saying it wanted creative departments it worked with to be staffed 50 percent by women and 20 percent with minorities.
"You don't need to be a mom to make some Cheerios ads, but if we have more moms on the team making Cheerios ads, maybe we increase the probability we do work that connects with moms in a richer, deeper, more powerful, meaningful way," Michael Fanuele, the chief creative officer of General Mills, said this week during an onstage discussion at an event hosted by the American Association of Advertising Agencies, known as the 4As, for Advertising Week.
"That's really where our drive for diversity came," Mr. Fanuele added. "It wasn't some sort of moral high-horse stance about the failing ad industry."
Ad agencies have already been grappling with accusations of racism and sexism and the sense that the industry's approach to diversity is retrograde. In the last year, the chief executive of the J. Walter Thompson agency resigned after a lawsuit accused him of racist and sexist behavior, and dismissive remarks about gender equality were made by other top industry executives.
Several sessions held this week as part of Ad Week, the annual industry gathering in Manhattan, touched on those concerns, with panels on subjects like "Our Challenge to Erase Gender Stereotypes In Ads" and "Sexism in Advertising and What Brands Should Do."
But the prospect of losing marketing dollars could drive change in a way that societal pressure has not. Verizon, for example, is one of the biggest advertisers in the United States, spending $1.3 billion on ads in both 2014 and 2015, according to Kantar Media.
"In order to push yourself to have a more diverse work force or a more humane work force, you have to be intentional about it — and nothing will drive intent faster than a client's dollar," Nancy Hill, president and chief executive of the 4As, said in an interview.
Women now make up nearly 50 percent of those working in the advertising industry, but only 11 percent of creative directors, according to a survey by the 3 Percent Conference, which supports female creative leadership at agencies. Mr. Fanuele, when describing the dominant creative "wizards" in the industry, described them as "a bunch of middle-aged white guys with baseball caps and funny beer jokes up their sleeves."
"We're still in a very male-dominated and nondiverse industry," Mr. Scotti, who is from Argentina, said in an interview. "In order for us to create work that's more connected with the consumer, it needs to come from a deeper connection to what's going on in society and what's going on in culture."
Mr. Scotti said the commitment to diversity was "an important requirement" of doing business with Verizon, but that the company was not setting specific goals, quotas or penalties for the agencies it works with. HP, in its Aug. 30 letter, said it expected agencies to "make good" on formal plans for hiring more women within 12 months. General Mills said the percentages it mentioned were "meant to be directional" and that the company was focused on "the importance of working toward diversity goals over time."
However, perhaps illustrating the challenges of enacting change in the industry, even those pushing for it can struggle to articulate how they respond to attempts to diversify. Mr. Fanuele, answering a question during Tuesday's event about how agencies pitched General Mills after learning about its diversity goals, said at times it felt "tokenistic" to him.
"Some show up with all the right people around the table and it almost does feel like a quota of tokenism; it's like 'Oh, thank you. You found the, you know, Southeast Asian transgender woman who works somewhere in your network to come to our meeting to talk,'" he said. "And then other times it just looks beautiful and diverse and it's very genuine and real and you're not even, even though this has been a criteria, you're almost not even conscious that it's happening."
It has been particularly exciting, he said, when the traditional creative directors arrive "looking like they look" and express a "genuine commitment to building teams and building departments that want to be magnets for more diverse talent."
"When you see their eyes sparkle about the possibilities of teaching and mentoring and being taught and mentored by people who don't look like they do, that's been cool," he said.

Peterborough Conservatives Preparing for Elections
While we look forward to Christmas and the New Year, interest in politics both nationally and locally have been dominating the news. The Government is grappling with the complexities of Brexit, where the battle between accepting a negotiated deal on leaving the EU, rejecting the current deal for a "no deal" Brexit, holding a second referendum or having no Brexit at all rages on in Westminster. This is the most significant political decision for the UK in this generation.
In Peterborough, which voted with a 61% majority to leave the EU in 2016, our local Labour MP, Fiona Onasanya, voted remain. She explained her rationale for voting in this way:
"I voted Remain because for me I was looking at it with a lawyer hat on."
In an extraordinary turn of events, she has faced more than a week of courtroom drama at the Old Bailey, accused of perverting the course of justice in relation to a speeding offence and identifying the driver of her car. We hear today that the jury were unable to reach a verdict, so the judge has dismissed the jury and ordered a retrial to begin on 11th December.
Proud of Peterborough
Over the weekend local Conservatives launched their 2019 election campaign and also introduced our new prospective parliamentary candidate, Paul Bristow. We are pleased to see a principled, committed Peterborian like Paul is ready to stand up for Peterborough with pride. You can find out more about Paul's beliefs HERE.

Google - a weapon of anti-Turkism

Hold on! What items? How are the items selected ? Are they representative for a wider set of the items of the same sort ?... Without answering these and other questions you cannnot get but subjective and arbitrary results in your experiments... It's like an Algerian documentary made five days after the massacres in Oran (5.07.1962). They found an elderly man, made him speak what they wanted to hear and then with this 'evidence' in hand denied the slaughters. Doesn't it remind you of the way you Turks do away with the Armenian genocide testimonies and documents ?
> Like own observations how many people have mein kamp among 100,how many people speaks english among 1000,etc...<
Take the nomad Yoruk e.g. ... None ...they are semi-litterate ... Or take a 'Polish city' in Islambul ...Talk to 40 people and you'll know through direct personal observation or self-observation taht this is Polish place...and you can announce it solemnly to a naive Polack on PipesForum to glorify Turkey and Turkishness ... But wait ... how about 960 other inhabitans of Polonezköy...?
> Take the posibility of provacative numbers may have published on google.<
How do you mean? Google lies every time it produces some anti-Turkish results , e.g. H. Stuermer's book or other relevant documents instead of inundating us with cascades and rivers of unlimited Turkish genocide denial literature ?
So there you claim that one can't rely on "small number of percentages.what percentage might your 'self-observation' be ... 0,000 076 % ? a German told me : "What the Turks did to the Armenians , they will do one day to us here too") , you would retort .
> Personaly i dont support existence of turkish workers in germany.I have some relatives there too.They invited as workers .Ther are warious social shapes among them...<
United by one religion and one jingoistic racist creed, as most Germans have already painfully learnt hearing of girls killed by their family for prefering an uncircumcised German Christian dog to the pious boy called Murad or Mehmet.
> I just advice them to come back to their countrie
They should take back their mosques first of all back to Anatolia. In the meantime these 'secularists' at large are obsessed of covering Germany with minarets and Quranic schools.
>or if not adapt german culture..<
Turks don't integrate and for a good reason. How could Moslems integrate and adopt a culture of those German gavurlar (kafirs) who don't even want to accept the only true Turkish version of the known events between 1915-1923?
> My self observations among them shows a german admirance rather than killing them. Each year more than 2 million german visits turkey with similing faces.<
Turkey is cheap... Their smile disappears as soon as they learn the case of Marco W. and a few nasty things about Turkey's police state as revealed by it and by other things. Of course, a mass tourist spending 2-3 weeks in Pamphylia doesn't care much about what sort of country he or she is actually in. Ignorance is bliss, isn't it ?
> If you can give an example of lets say 20 arbitrary choosen german or known friends of number 50 and says something common ,yes,this brings a serious observation and must be taken into consideration. My self observations based on 20 years,thousands of people in various parts of turkey.<
I told you something about public consensus in Turkey, didn't I ? With such conformists as Turks you can live on in your paradise of Ataturkistan and keep telling ignorant foreigners more sweet lies about it.
Have you realized that so far you have NOT expressed a single critical thought about Turkey and on the contrary have consistently tried to discourage me from expressing them. You have done your best but hopefully any potential reader realizes how counterproductive all your efforts have been. Self-observations is the latest of your tricks not to face unfalltering facts about your sweet Ataturkistan.
"And what is your point about 'easy Google search'? It saves time and you often get results and finds comparable or even better to a laborious search in a big library. I did both so I can compare"
>The point is google finds what you want from it to find.<
It can't find what doesn't exist (c. well-preserved and respected Greek cemeteries in Northern Cyprus ). And it's worthwhile to look for contrary or any evidence in case of doubt. It's the only way to prove (not in your inverted sense) if something is valid or not.
> Advantage of Self observation is arising question marks in results you find.Like mein kamp book ,hitler sympaty subject.<
Question marks arise when you compare what you know to what you is new to you. Critical thinking is necessary to ask questions. But in an Oriental culture like Islamo-Kemalism questioning authority is both discouraged and dangerous. So you risk too much by drawing the logical conclusion from "Mein Kampf's" popularity that nazism is on the rise in Turkey just like you should conclude from "Metal Fitrina's" popularity the rise of anti-Americanism.
"Now, 13 publishers bring 'Mein Kampf' on the market and you say"
>That doesn prove a hitler sympaty or other subjects on talk.<
Total coincidence ... just like between the dark cloud and heavy rain , what?
> But one should be thankfull on them since a general oppinion among the readers about the book is boring narsist arrogant dead ideology .It is interesting that why you dont want to accept that fact among the turkish public.<
I know that Turkish readership for serious works is very narrow and generally Turks don't read much but if they do as "Metal Fitrina" it must have very important political and ideological reasons. From the point of view of those who extert power in Turkey Turks are ideal slaves. They will do whatever the government will tell them to do. Those in power keep telling them about bad Americans and Jews supporting bad Kurds and the Turks hate the US and Israel more and more. A book is written about some heroic Turks destroying the US Satan with a stolen nuclear device becomes a best seller at once! A movie (The valley of the wolves) is made -the most expenisve ever Turkish movie - with heavy jingoistic and anti-Semitic messages. It becomes the most popular Turkish movie ever ... But you have your "self-observations" that "prove" the contrary , don't you ... ?
> I am not trying to make a perfect turkish image.<
It is exactly what you have beeing trying to do so far.
>There are items bothering me as well.As there are in other cultures too.<
So you see no specific Turkish evils , only general items ... How reassuring ! It could have been an insult to angelic Turkishness if you thought of evil as being inbuilt part of Turkey !

The history of the pomegranate.Grenades were used in the manufacture of different jewellery in the times of the Scythians. The name of the stone in relation to its color resemblance with the color of the seeds of the fruit pomegranate derived from the Latin word granatus. Garnet was also known in ancient Persia. In this country the pomegranate was considered "Royal stone". The old wizard picked up the largest specimens of rocks and carved on the surface image of the reigning persons. In Russia, the pomegranate was known as "Vinica" and "Bechet". Grenades are always very highly prized as a stone for making jewelry.
This estimate has grown steadily, thanks to the beginning of the XX century garnet and its variants have surpassed recognized by all jewelers value minerals such as opal and alexandrite. The origin of pomegranate. Garnets are a group of minerals of the silicate class, which includes several types, distinguished by color. Garnets come in all colors except blue. The varieties of garnet are almandine, grossular and pyrope. Deposits of garnet are Sri Lanka, India, Afghanistan, Brazil, Austria, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, Japan, Tanzania, Zambia, Madagascar.
According to astrologers, pomegranate with all its varieties is a stone of people born under the signs of Leo and Aries. Wearing jewelry with this stone brings people of these signs are lucky in love, strengthens friendships and protects from hostile attacks. In the Ancient East it was considered that the major property of pomegranate is its ability to arouse passionate feeling of love, therefore, recommended to give the stone as a token of love and friendship. It is not recommended to wear "male" type of the stone women and the "female" members of the male. Currently widespread artificial pomegranates.
They also possess certain properties. For example, such products are doping for thin energy substances of the body. For the manufacture of jewelry most commonly used stones are bright red, crimson, emerald green colors. Red and crimson stone that gives it contains the admixture of chromium. Green garnet hue due to the presence of impurities of chromium and iron. How to wear jewelry with garnet. Garnet red in color recommended to be people with enhanced activity, to energize. For calm, reasonable people stone of this color is contraindicated.
Composition there are six types of garnet: a fiery red pyrope, yellowish or greenish grossular, spessartine orange, transparent melawati, purple or purple-red almandine garnet, emerald-green uvarovite, green, brown-red or black andradite. Bright red pomegranates in the old days was called anthrax ("coal"). In Russia grenades had the name "cellcity Yakhont". Transparent Golden-green garnet found in the Urals, called demantoid ("like a diamond") for colored tints. Often all red varieties are called "grenades" and all the green "olivine". It was believed that garnet maketh glad the heart, gives courage and optimism.
Who wears garnet — acquires power over people. Pregnant women stone ensured safe childbirth, gave life force. Garnet is also considered the stone of lovers. Gift ring with garnet symbolized the assurances of friendship, love, gratitude. Minors and adults with children to carry grenades not recommended, as it awakes in man and around him the passion of love. Garnet heals the heart, brain and memory. Grenades called several minerals, including pyrope, Almaden, grossular, spessartine Garnet, etc. are very similar, shape and color, a grain of the pomegranate.
The origin of the names of the individual mineral species is different. For example, pyrope (from the Greek – like fire) – dark red color. Genetic classification. According to the conventional classification garnets are magmatic rocks. Pyrope – famous Czech garnet, almandine garnet is purple-red with a purple hue stone, demantoid – with glitter, very attractive stone, grossular granite of a greenish color, received its name from the Latin "grossular" (gooseberry). Blood-red pyropes are very popular.

Not all debt is created equal on a credit report. Lenders consider credit rating, payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit and the types of credit in use before approving an applicant for financing. Effectively managing these 5 factors and understanding how they can impact your credit score will increase your chance of getting approved for financing at the best rate available.
Recently Canada Drives uncovered a lot of talk about what is good debt and what is bad debt. Here's the truth: no debt is bad debt if you manage it responsibly. By making payments on-time and understanding the different factors that can impact a credit score, you'll be more likely to get approved for financing with the best rates available in Canada.
If you're not sure what your credit score is, the folks at Borrowell will tell you what it is - and it's free!
Before we get into the factors that impact credit, it's important to know what kinds of debt exist and how they differ:
These different forms of credit are available to Canadians, but most people aren't familiar with the factors that influence how revolving and installment is calculated. How much debt you have, how much debt you spend, how frequently you pay back debt, if you have any hard credit checks or derogatory marks from collection agencies – the list of things that your credit score relies on is heavy. Breaking down the credit equation can help you better understand how bureaus determine your credit score:
One of the most important factors that lenders consider before a borrower can be approved for financing is their payment history. One-third of a credit score is determined by payment history, so few late payments won't drastically drop a credit score, however multiple late payments on a credit report could. Late payments stay on a report for seven years, but luckily, recovering your score by paying back debt quickly can help you rebound from credit delinquency fast.
If you have a lot of debt, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a high-risk borrower. However, using a high percentage of available credit funds is a factor that lenders consider, as the chances of missing a payment for a borrower who frequently owes a lot might be high. If you have multiple credit accounts that are consistently maxed-out, your chances of being approved for financing with reasonable rates won't be as high compared to an applicant who manages to pay down their debt in full each month.
"In the credit scoring world, age and experience trump youth and enthusiasm," - creditcards.com. You don't need to be a veteran to have a great credit score, but the longer a credit account is open the better. The length of credit accounts matters to lenders because it shows how much experience you have managing and paying off debt. The longer the credit history, the more accurate lenders can determine how much of a risk you are when lending to you. Closed accounts will stay on a credit report from 7-10 years.
When applying for financing, lenders will look at the amount of new credit an applicant has. This factor is important to lenders, as it lets them see how you typically shop for credit. Research suggests that applying for a lot of new financing in a short period of time can drop your score. By doing so, your average account age will lower and affect your length of credit history, which will impact your overall credit score and how lenders view you.
Do you have experience with multiple forms of credit? Credit mix accounts for 10 percent of your overall credit score calculation. Having more than one type of credit account on your file, while managing them all responsibly, will have a positive effect on your score and will be evidence to creditors that you can successfully borrow from both kinds of credit. Canadians with mixed credit accounts on their report tend to have higher scores compared to people who only have one or the other. Balancing between installment and revolving credit will guarantee you a raise in your credit score.The Final Word...
Good debt means being a wise borrower. In our opinion, all debt should be managed wisely. The best thing you can do for yourself before applying for financing is to decide carefully how your financial choices today will impact your financial choices in the future.

Josefina Urzaiz de Burke (MSFS'07)
Co-founder and Owner, Hammock Boutique
As an investment banker in New York, Urzaiz de Burke felt disconnected with her upbringing in Yucatán, Mexico. She missed volunteer work and wanted a more gratifying career, so in 2010, she decided to leave the financial world. Inspired by the beauty of her Mayan ancestors' craftsmanship, Urzaiz de Burke decided to launch Hammock Boutique with her brother. The Yucatán-based company is committed to providing a sustainable business model to 700 weavers, providing the raw materials to weave custom-made hammocks. "Our craftsmen are indigenous Mayans, 90 percent women, all of whom work from home," Urzaiz de Burke explained on her website. "This allows them to earn wages, to avoid the cost and time of a commute to work and to take care of young children at home."

NASA's constellation of state-of-the-art magnetospheric science satellites successfully rocketed to orbit late Thursday night, March 12, during a spectacular nighttime launch on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the process known as magnetic reconnection.
The $1.1 Billion Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission is composed of four formation flying satellites blasted to Earth orbit atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, precisely on time at 10:44 p.m. EDT.
Magnetic reconnection is a little understood natural process whereby magnetic fields around Earth connect and disconnect while explosively releasing vast amounts of energy. It occurs throughout the universe.
NASA's fleet of four MMS spacecraft will soon start the first mission devoted to studying the phenomenon called magnetic reconnection. Scientists believe that it is the catalyst for some of the most powerful explosions in our solar system.
The night launch of the venerable Atlas V booster turned night into day as the 195 foot tall rocket roared to life on the fiery fury of about a million and a half pounds of thrust, thrillinf spectators all around the Florida space coast and far beyond.
NASA's four Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft were stacked like pancakes on top of one another and encapsulated inside the rocket extended nose cone atop the Atlas V.
The venerable rocket continues to enjoy a 100% success rate. It launched in the Atlas V 421 configuration with a 4-meter diameter Extra Extended Payload Fairing along with two Aerojet Rocketdyne solid rocket motors attached to the Atlas booster first stage.
The two stage Atlas V delivered the MMS satellites to a highly elliptical orbit. They were then deployed from the rocket's Centaur upper stage sequentially, in five-minute intervals beginning at 12:16 a.m. Friday, March 13. The last separation occurred at 12:31 a.m.
About 10 minutes later at 12:40 a.m., NASA scientists and engineers confirmed the health of all four spacecraft.
"I am speaking for the entire MMS team when I say we're thrilled to see all four of our spacecraft have deployed and data indicates we have a healthy fleet," said Craig Tooley, project manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
This marked ULA's 3rd launch in 2015, the 53nd Atlas V mission and the fourth Atlas V 421 launch in the programs life.
Each of the identically instrumented spacecraft are about four feet tall and eleven feet wide.
The deployment and activation of all four spacecraft is absolutely essential to the success of the mission, said Jim Burch, principal investigator of the MMS instrument suite science team at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas.
They will fly in a pyramid formation to conduct their science mission, spaced about 10 miles apart. That separation distance will vary over time during the two year primary mission.
NASA scientists and engineers will begin deploying multiple booms and antennas on the spacecraft in a few days, MMS mission scientist Glyn Collinson of NASA Goddard told Universe Today.
The deployment and calibration process will last about six months, Collinson explained. Science observations are expected to begin in September 2015.
"After a decade of planning and engineering, the science team is ready to go to work," said Burch.
"We've never had this type of opportunity to study this fundamental process in such detail."
The spacecraft will fly in a tight formation through regions of reconnection activity.
The instruments will conduct their science observations at rates100 times faster than any previous mission.
"MMS is a crucial next step in advancing the science of magnetic reconnection – and no mission has ever observed this fundamental process with such detail," said Jeff Newmark, interim director for NASA's Heliophysics Division at the agency's Headquarters in Washington.
"The depth and detail of our knowledge is going to grow by leaps and bounds, in ways that no one can yet predict."
MMS measurements should lead to significant improvements in models for yielding better predictions of space weather and thereby the resulting impacts for life here on Earth as well as for humans aboard the ISS and robotic satellite explorers in orbit and the heavens beyond.
The best place to study magnetic reconnection is 'in situ' in Earth's magnetosphere. This will lead to better predictions of space weather phenomena.
Magnetic reconnection is also believed to help trigger the spectacular aurora known as the Northern or Southern lights.
MMS is a Solar Terrestrial Probes Program, or STP, mission within NASA's Heliophysics Division. The probes were built, integrated and tested at NASA Goddard which is responsible for overall mission management and operations.

In a community event held last night, arts funding organization the Knight Foundation announced that Victoria Rogers, executive vice president of the New World Symphony, will join the foundation in the Spring. Rogers will replace Dennis Scholl, the long-time head of the foundation who's singular vision of the arts has shaped Miami for the last six years.
See also: PAMM Nominated for International Association of Art Critics Award
In an interview with the Miami Herald, Knight Foundation President and CEO Alberto Ibargüen said that Scholl had told him six months ago that he would step down.
"We've had a phenomenal partnership based on mutual respect and admiration. Dennis is amazing for what he knows and admits what he doesn't know," Ibargüen told the paper. "That makes him a fantastic funder when talking about creative people. He's really about respecting the art."
Ibargüen indicated that Rogers was at the top of the Foundation's list.
It's an interesting switch, especially since Scholl is undoubtedly one of the most powerful figures in the Miami arts scene. Rogers will begin the job on May 1, and Scholl will transition to an advisory role. On the switch Scholl told the Herald, "I feel so pleased that the program that I helped build will be overseen by somebody who I respect immensely."

Clinical Scenario: Patellar tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder affecting the lower-extremities and a difficult condition to manage for athletes that are in season. To facilitate improvement in function and to decrease pain, initial treatment for patellar tendinopathy is typically conservative. Traditional interventions may include eccentric training, cryotherapy, patellar counterforce straps, oral anti-inflammatories, injectable agents, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, orthotics, therapeutic ultrasound, and extracorporeal shockwave. In addition, recent literature suggests that implementing isometric and isotonic contractions may be effective in reducing patellar tendon pain. Focused Clinical Question: How effective are isometric contractions compared with isotonic contractions in reducing pain for in-season athletes with patellar tendinopathy? Summary of Key Findings: Implementation of isometric and isotonic exercises statistically reduced pain levels in the short term of 4 weeks for in-season athletes; however, isometric contractions provided statistically greater pain relief immediately for up to 45 minutes postintervention compared with isotonic contractions. Clinical Bottom Line: Current evidence supports the use of isometric and isotonic contractions to reduce pain for in-season athletes with patellar tendinopathy. Based on the reviewed literature, clinicians should consider utilizing heavy loaded isometrics or progressive heavy loaded isotonic exercises, which showed reduction in pain levels immediately after intervention and at 4-week follow-up for both intervention groups. Isometric contractions appear to provide greater pain relief immediately after intervention. Strength of Recommendation: There is Grade B evidence from 2 level 2 randomized controlled trials and 1 level 3 randomized crossover study supporting the use of isometric and isotonic contractions to reduce patellar tendon pain for in-season athletes.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 8-week inspiratory muscle training on activity in the ankle muscles of athletes with chronic low-back pain. A randomized controlled trial involving 45 men and women with chronic low-back pain was carried out. Electromyography activity in the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis muscles of the dominant leg was recorded. Secondary outcomes included biopsychosocial indices, such as pain, disability, anxiety and depression, fear-avoidance beliefs, and fear of (re)injury. Static and dynamic overhead squat tests showed that inspiratory muscle training decreased activity in the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius medialis muscles. In the static single-leg squat test and the descending phase of the dynamic equivalent, such a decrease was observed in all the 4 muscles. Inspiratory muscle training significantly reduced pain severity and activity in the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, and gastrocnemius medialis muscles during the ascending phase of the dynamic single-leg squat test. On the basis of the findings, 8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training may constitute useful rehabilitation for reducing excessive activity in ankle joint muscles and aiding chronic low-back pain recovery.

Context: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is one of the most common chronic conditions in the world, resulting in millions of dollars contributed to the health care system. Joint mobilizations have been shown to effectively improve patient and disease-specific impairments secondary to CAI. The ability for patients to complete an effective manual therapy intervention without the need for continuous visits to a health care provider can alleviate burdens on the health care system and improve patient satisfaction. Objective: To examine the effect of clinician-applied Maitland talocrural joint mobilization and self-mobilization (Self-Mob) on dorsiflexion range of motion (DFROM), dynamic balance, strength, and perceived function in those with CAI. Design: Single-blind randomized trial. Setting: Research laboratory. Participants: A total of 18 participants (7 males and 11 females; age = 20.78 [2.02] y, height = 67.66 [3.83] cm, limb length = 87.74 [5.05] cm) with self-reported CAI participated. Interventions: The participants received 6 interventions over a 2-week period. The participants received either Maitland grade III anterior-to-posterior talocrural joint mobilizations or weight-bearing lunge Self-Mob. Each intervention consisted of four 2-minute sets, with a 1-minute rest between sets. Main Outcome Measures: The DFROM (weight-bearing lunge), dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test), isometric strength, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Quick, Disablement of the Physically Active modified, Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11 were measured preintervention and postintervention. Results: Dynamic balance, isometric strength, and perceived function significantly improved in both groups at postintervention. The DFROM significantly improved in the Self-Mob group. Higher individual responder rates were demonstrated within the Self-Mob group compared with clinician-applied mobilizations. Conclusions: Clinician-applied mobilizations and Self-Mobs are effective interventions for improving dynamic balance, isometric strength, and perceived function. Application of Self-Mobs can effectively improve DFROM compared with joint mobilization. Self-Mobs may be an effective intervention to incorporate into a home care plan.

Context: Previous studies have reported that the incidence of patellofemoral pain in women is 2.2 times higher than that in men. Lower hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness in women may be related to the magnitude of hip adduction and internal rotation associated with patellofemoral pain. Objective: To identify sex differences in hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness and examine the relationship between hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness and hip adduction and internal rotation during gait. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University campus. Participants: A total of 80 healthy volunteers (40 women and 40 men) participated in this study. Intervention(s): Kinematic and kinetic data during gait were collected using a motion capture system and force plates. Main Outcome Measures: Hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness, hip adduction, and hip internal rotation were calculated during gait. Results: Women demonstrated lower hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness than men during gait (P < .01). They also displayed decreased hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness associated with increased hip adduction (r = −.85, P < .001) and internal rotation (r = −.48, P < .001). Conversely, in men, decreased hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness was associated with increased hip adduction (r = −.74, P < .001) but not internal rotation (r = .17, P = .28). Conclusions: Sex differences between hip frontal dynamic joint stiffness and hip internal rotation during gait may contribute to the increased incidence of patellofemoral pain in women.

Context: Concussions are shown to hinder multiple health dimensions, including health-related quality of life (HRQOL), suggesting a need for a whole-person approach to assessment and treatment. Patient-reported outcome measures are one method to gather the patient's perspective regarding their HRQOL. Objective: To evaluate perceived HRQOL using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric-25 subscale in patients throughout concussion recovery. Design: Prospective cohort, descriptive survey. Setting: There were 9 high school athletic training facilities. Participants: A total of 70 patients with diagnosed concussions (51 males, 7 females, 12 unreported; age = 15.7 [0.9] y, height = 174.6 [8.4] cm, mass = 72.8 [14.8] kg, grade = 10.0 [0.9] level). Interventions: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric-25 was administered at 3 days, 10 days postconcussion, and return to play (RTP). Main Outcome Measures: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric-25 subscale T scores and self-reported concussion history (yes/no). Results: A total of 70 patients completed the study. For the Pediatric-25 subscales, the severity of problems associated with Physical Function Mobility, Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, and Pain Interference were highest 3 days postconcussion, decreasing at 10 days and RTP (all p < .05). No differences were found between days 3 and 10 for Peer Relationship scores, but improvements were identified at RTP (p < .05). Pediatric-25 subscale scores at the 3 measurements were not statistically associated with concussion history (all p > .05). Ceiling and floor effects were present in all subscales throughout each timepoint, except for Physical Function Mobility (14.7%), and pain interference (11.8%) at day 3 postinjury. Conclusions: Patients who had suffered a concussion improved from day 3 through RTP on multiple health domains as demonstrated through the Pediatric-25 subscales. These findings highlight the need for health care professionals to serially monitor HRQOL and social factors that may affect the patient postconcussion as part of a multifactorial assessment. Ceiling effects in high functioning adolescent athletes were present; thus, efforts should be made to identify appropriate scales for use in managing recovery in athletic populations.

Background: The increasing popularity of wrist-worn accelerometers introduces novel challenges to the research on physical activity and sedentary behavior. Estimation of body posture is one such challenge. Methods: The authors proposed an approach called SedUp to differentiate between sedentary (sitting/lying) and standing postures. SedUp is based on the logistic regression classifier, using the wrist elevation and the motion variability extracted from raw accelerometry data collected on the axis parallel to the forearm. The authors developed and tested our method on data from N = 45 community-dwelling older adults. All subjects wore ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers on the left and right wrist, and activPAL was placed on the thigh in the free-living environment for 7 days. ActivPAL provided ground truth about body posture. The authors reported SedUp's classification accuracy for each wrist separately. Results: Using the data from the left wrist, SedUp estimated the standing posture with median true positive rate = 0.83 and median true negative rate = 0.91. Using the data from the right wrist, SedUp estimated the standing posture with median true positive rate = 0.86 and median true negative rate = 0.93. Conclusions: SedUp provides accurate classification of body posture using wrist-worn accelerometers. The separate validation for each wrist allows for the application of SedUp in a wide spectrum of free-living studies.

Background: Understanding more about the unseen side of our responses to visual stimuli offers a powerful new tool for transportation planning. Traditional transportation planning tends to focus on the mobility of vehicles rather than on opportunities to encourage sustainable transport modes, like walking. Methods: Using eye-tracking emulation software, this study measured the unconscious visual responses people have to designs and layouts in new built environments, focusing on what makes streets most walkable. Results: The study found key differences between the way the brain takes in conventional automobile-oriented residential developments versus new urbanist layouts, with the former lacking key fixation points. Conclusion: The study's discoveries significantly explain why new urbanist layouts promote walking effortlessly and conventional automobile-oriented residential developments cannot.

This study explored the practices and strategies of ambush marketing via social media (SM) during the 2014 Sochi, 2016 Rio, and 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games. An observational netnography method was adopted to investigate direct industry competitors' (of the Olympic sponsors) use of SM for the purpose of ambush marketing during the 2014, 2016, and 2018 Games. Data were gathered from the official Twitter accounts of 15 direct industry competitors over the three most recent Games. Despite a series of SM guidelines released by IOC for the 2014, 2016, and 2018 Games, the findings showed that the practice of ambush marketing via SM was evident during each of the Games. Direct industry competitors were found employing four specific ambush strategies, namely, associative, values, coattail, and property infringement. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as an impetus for future research, are suggested.

There is a growing body of research on positive tactile communication and its impact on athlete performance and team dynamics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the profile and perceived impact of positive tactile communication as a coaching strategy in a high-performance team sport setting. Participants were members of a successful American collegiate women's basketball team comprising the head coach, associate head coach, and 16 student-athletes. Methods of data collection included systematic observation and focus groups. Positive tactile communication was perceived to be an effective coaching strategy for enhancing relationships and athlete performance. To our knowledge, this is the first study to include both quantitative and qualitative data from multiple coaches on the same team, as well as athlete perceptions of coaches' strategic use of positive tactile communication.

Colombia Country Side
Alaska Ben at a local market near Chicamocha Canyon, Colombia.
After a few short flights last Sunday, we jumped in the van and drove out of town to Chicamocha Canyon. The canyon is rumored to be the second largest in the world (after The Grand Canyon) and boasts what is also rumored to be the longest cable car on the planet. At first, I was skeptical about the cable car claim, but after riding in it for 30 minutes each way, I am a believer. Part of the canyon has been turned in to a National Park in recent years and it is a cool place to behold. There is also good flying in the park although it might be a little macho for the rookie pilot.

Kim Kardashian Is Pregnant! Expecting Baby No. 2 With Husband Kanye West
Entertainment| |
The West family is about to get a little bigger – and even cuter!!!
After last nights mid-season finale episode of E!'s hit show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it was revealed in a teaser that Kim Kardashian West, 34, and husband Kanye, 37, are finally pregnant with baby number two! Kardashian and West are already proud parents to daughter North, who will be turning two this month.
This exciting news comes after viewers watched Kim's difficult journey this season, as she struggled to conceive another child. Cameras went along to document everything from intimate family conversations, to fertility specialist visits and IVF treatments. Kim and Kanye have been doing everything possible to have another child and grow their family. Kardashian, who comes from a very large family, has been eager to expand her own and more than anything, give daughter North a sibling.
It wasn't until last nights episode ended that the star dropped the bombshell news, in a teaser clip for the rest of the upcoming season. In the clip we see a very excited-looking Kim chatting with sister Khloe, saying "I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!"
Pretty crazy to think we just saw Kardashian rocking that nearly-nude ensemble at the Met Gala earlier last month! She looks amazing!
So looks like it will be a winter baby for the West family! Now the question is – Will it be a brother or a sister for little North. And what kind of name do you think Kim and Kanye will give baby number two?!? We can't wait to find out!? Either way, we're thrilled for the happy couple!
Congrats Kimye!
