Sunday Gravy: Randy Edsall has chance to cement a legacy at UConn
All we've been hearing about the past few weeks is what a lousy year it turned out to be. It wasn't all bad, though, was it? What about the many positive things 2016 produced? Like the Cubs winning it all in an instant classic of a World Series? And ... well, that's all I've got right now. Give me a little more time to think about it. I accidentally drank a Mountain Dew last night and can't get the awful taste out of my mouth.
And to those of you nursing New Year's Eve hangovers, my deepest apologies. Reading this column won't do a thing to help that splitting headache.
• Randy Edsall is a solid hire for UConn's dilapidated football program. Unlike Bob Diaco, he's a true leader who gets the most out of his players and understands what it takes to win at UConn.
What's clear, as evidenced at his introductory press conference on Friday, this program means something to him. He apologized for his discourteous departure six years ago, and spoke about UConn with conviction, sincerity and emotion.
It's where he created a football program. It's where he established his coaching reputation. It's a place where he's loved and respected. And it's where he can cement a legacy.
• Response from Edsall's former players on social media has been overwhelmingly positive. Shelton's Dan Orlovsky, in his 12th NFL season as a backup quarterback, was among the most vocal. He wrote on Twitter: "As a coach and a man, and what the state, the kids and the administration are getting is absolute top notch. Can't wait. #TheComeback"
• Whether Edsall returns UConn football to the good old days is far from guaranteed. He created a viable BCS level program. His two predecessors left it in shambles. A dramatically changed landscape makes a rebuild all the more challenging. Recruiting at UConn wasn't easy even with the carrot that was the Big East's automatic BCS bid. The Power Five conferences now hold all the cards.
• According to a well-connected source, Don Brown, the defensive coordinator at Michigan, was never contacted about the UConn job. Neither was Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead. Both are former assistants at the school.
"Don Brown would've had serious interest in the job," the source said. "That's a fact."
• UConn, under the direction of Paul Pasqualoni, T.J. Weist and Diaco the past six seasons, has a total of 24 wins, 49 losses and one bowl appearance. Edsall won 33 and lost 19 over his final four seasons, reaching four bowl games.
• One thing I could never figure out in three years of listening to Diaco was whether his bizarre press conference demeanor was merely an act. Sort of like that random high school acquaintance who returns from a semester abroad speaking with a British accent, as if no one would remember he was born and raised in East Haven.
It wasn't hard to imagine Diaco reading some obscure passage that morning, then practicing it in the shower, ready to wow the cretins with similes about fish cake or quoting St. Augustine in Latin.
Perhaps it wasn't an act. Maybe he simply lacked self-awareness. The thing is, if you're winning, fans can appreciate quirkiness. When you continually paint yourself into a corner with words, and losing games badly in the process, it wears thin. Fast. And it makes you look foolish.
Either way, he clearly never got through to fans, media, school administrators and, most importantly, his players.
• This UConn football storyline — Edsall's turn from hero to heel to hero again — is a script straight out of Vince McMahon's WWE handbook. Only thing missing at Friday's introductory press conference was Jeff Hathaway jumping out from behind a curtain to bash Edsall over the head with a folding chair.
• Madison's Don Scharf, 83, passed away on Thursday. For most of the past 50 years he'd been heavily involved with the New Haven Football Foundation, Walter Camp Football Foundation and Yale associations for football, basketball, lacrosse and hockey.
Scharf, a 1955 Yale graduate, was close friends with New York Giants co-owners Wellington and Jack Mara, and instrumental in helping the Giants work out an agreement to play home games at the Yale Bowl during the construction of Giants Stadium in the early 1970s.
"He was so good about helping us with jobs, and he took such a great interest in our players," said former Yale football coach Carm Cozza. "He would do everything he could to help our program. He knew so many of the players and followed them long after they left Yale. He impacted so many lives and will be sorely missed.
• Yale men's basketball has won 18 straight games at Lee Amphitheater, tied for the fifth-longest home win string in Division I. Only Kansas (49), Oregon (34), Akron (23) and Miami (20) have gone longer without losing at home. The Bulldogs put the streak on the line against Hartford Monday night at 7.
• Jerrell Fletcher, a Notre Dame-West Haven student athlete killed in a car accident in 1998, is being honored at Monday morning's Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. A floral portrait of his image will appear as part of the Donate Life Rose Parade Float, which honors the lives of organ and tissue donors, who have given the gift of life.
Fletcher's family donated Jerrell's kidney, liver, heart and pancreas after the accident. Five lives were saved because of the decision. His mother, Carolyn Fletcher, has since become a champion for organ donation and said she remains in contact with Jerrell's organ recipients.
Tom Marcucci, Jerrell's football coach at Notre Dame, donated a jersey with Fletcher's name and old number 14 on the back. Carolyn Fletcher will wear the jersey at the parade. The float is scheduled to appear in the first half of the parade, which begins Monday at 11 a.m. and will be televised live by NBC and ABC.

On Kavanaugh's Confirmation to the U.S. Supreme CourtRalph E. Stone, Salem-News.com
Too many voters have short memories.
(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - It was a sad day when the U.S. Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh, a partisan, intemperate, accused sexual predator, to the U.S. Supreme Court. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's courage, like Anita Hill's before her, was not enough block to his confirmation.
Senators Susan Collins and Jeff Flake teased us with the possibility of voting "no," but at crunch time voted "yes." And what's with Democrat Joe Manchin's "yes" vote?
With Kavanaugh's rise to the Supreme Court, we may have lost an important check on Trump's unbridled presidency.
Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed, President Trump, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley, and the other Trump enablers have, I'm sure, self-satisfied grins on their faces.
With this confirmation, no matter what Trump has done, failed to do, or will do, his presidency is a success to them.
Clearly, Trump and the Republican party care more about a friendly Supreme Court than success in the midterm elections.
Neil Gorsuch and now Kavanaugh will be on the Supreme Court for life, whereas if they lose in the midterms, within an election cycle or two, the GOP has a chance to win back control of Congress. Too many voters have short memories.
Maybe, a Democrat-controlled House will impeach Kavanaugh, but chances of a 2/3 vote to convict in the Senate is highly unlikely. And remember, Supreme Court justices are not required to recuse themselves from cases where they have a perceived conflict of interest.
Now we know the importance of Russia's help to swing the election to Trump as well as those nearly half of eligible voters (46.9% of approximately 231,556,622 people) who failed to vote in the 2016 presidential election.
Let's at least get out and vote on November 6.

Not only is Memorial Day weekend spent honoring the sacrifices our military men and women have made for our privileges and freedoms, but also enjoying three days of fun and relaxation. However, whether you plan on going on a road trip or spending the night out on the town, there is a risk of being arrested for a DUI.
When it comes to holidays, drunk driving rates are at their highest. So you can expect law enforcement to be in full force throughout the weekend, patrolling the streets and even setting up sobriety checkpoints to crack down on drunk driving.
The following are several tips to help you avoid a DUI arrest this Memorial Day weekend:
- Get a ride – Ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft have now become a popular way people get from one place to another, especially as an alternative to drunk driving. You can also rely on public transportation or a designated driver to get you home safely.
- Spend the night – If you're celebrating at a friend's place and don't want to leave your car unattended if you went home, ask if you can sleepover. If you cannot spend the night, then stay in a hotel or motel room nearby for the night.
- Host the party at your place – By limiting yourself to a house party or small family gathering at your residence, you can avoid the risks that come with drunk driving.
- Monitor your consumption – Since alcohol affects everybody in different ways, even one or two drinks can put you over the legal limit. If you insist on driving after drinking, ensure you limit the amount of alcohol you consume and drink water in between alcoholic beverages. Ensure nobody drinks and drives after your party and offer places to sleep if necessary.
- Be aware of checkpoints – During holiday weekends, police set up DUI checkpoints to make roads safer. However, law enforcement typically announces checkpoints on their website, in the newspaper, or somewhere online.
If you have been arrested for a DUI in Virginia Beach, contact The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller and request a free consultation with our experienced lawyer today.

When Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were shown clapping for the camera outside their Georgian country house, Anmer Hall, fans were charmed. They were showing support for a very important national cause, and they looked cute doing it. But eagle-eyed fans also noticed something surprising about the young royals.
With the United Kingdom's National Health Service staff working around the clock, the #ClapForOurCarers campaign took off immediately. It promoted national unity by encouraging citizens to take to their doorsteps or windows at a predetermined time to clap in honor of the NHS. People all across the UK obliged, including many celebrities, and many of the heartwarming moments were filmed or photographed.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, joined in by sharing the video of their children on their "Kensington Royal" social media platforms. They included the message, "To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly…thank you." The video was well-received by royal fans.
"Everybody is doing their part, even the youngest royals," wrote one Instagram fan. "This is just what I needed today!" Another commented, "Lovely children being taught to care." One NHS staff member posted, "Thanks you! I'm an NHS worker and this means the world, I sobbed in the streets today hearing the claps and cheers from my neighbours!"
Overall, the personal touch of the video struck a better chord with the public than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Instagram message. The Sussexes went with a simple message of, "Thank you for all that you continue to do! Applauding you from across the pond." They then added a host of clapping emojis.
Harry and Meghan's message certainly looked impersonal in comparison to William and Kate's, but also when compared to the messages put out by other members of the Royal family. The Queen posted a video in which clapping could be heard from Windsor Castle. Prince Edward and wife Sophie, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, posted a video where they clapped alongside their children.
In the case of William and Kate, the story of their family began in December 2012, when it was announced that a royal baby was on the way. St. James' Palace announced that Kate was pregnant, and that William and the royal family were ecstatic. Seven months later, on July 22, 2013 His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge was born.
George became third in line to the crown, behind his grandfather Charles and father William. The British media wrote countless stories about George in his first year, but the highlight may have been Kate and William's three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. George met a kangaroo in Sydney named after him and it charmed the world.
In September 2014, Kensington Palace announced that Kate and William's second child was on the way. Kate was unfortunately forced to cancel several official engagements due to a debilitating pregnancy sickness — Hyperemesis Gravidarum — that she also suffered while carrying George. However, by October the Duchess was able to attend events again.
Princess Charlotte was born on May 2, 2015 in London's St Mary's Hospital. Less than 10 hours after the birth, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge introduced their new baby girl to the world on the steps of the hospital. A few months later, Kate told ITV that, "It's very special having a new little girl…I feel very, very lucky that George has got a little sister."
In June 2016, the one-year-old Charlotte was pictured waving for the cameras at the Trooping the Color parade from Buckingham Palace's balcony. However, in what is a traditional photo taken every year, Prince George made himself stand out in a way that captured the imagination of social media. He certainly lived up to his father's billing as "lively."
In a moment captured on camera and turned into a social media gif, little George did an amusing facepalm when William was told by the Queen to stand up for the crowds. William, who was kneeling with his son, immediately did as his grandmother instructed him to do. But George's reaction was more rebellious, and the royal fans everywhere loved his cheekiness.
George's sassy nature was on full display again a few months later. In September 2016 the Cambridges went on an eight-day official royal visit to Canada. Within minutes of stepping off the plane, George amusingly ignored a high-five greeting attempt from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
George and Charlotte were subsequently kept out of the public eye for much of the Canadian engagement. However, the Victoria Tourism Board revealed what the royal children had been up to. They tweeted that George and Charlotte visited the Beacon Hill Children's Farm and enjoyed petting the goats.
Given that this was supposed to be a secret outing, the tourism board was quickly instructed to delete their tweet. However, the next outing was a public affair, with Charlotte pictured at a children's party for military families. She was seen sitting on a large white dog, while she and George also played with balloons and bubbles.
Author Katie Nicholl gave an intriguing insight into Charlotte's personality when she spoke to Entertainment Tonight in September 2019. She said Charlotte was feisty at nursery and had a few nicknames, one of which was Warrior Princess. "Apparently she earned that nickname because obviously she is a Princess, but she's quite a tomboy," said Nicholl.
"She loves climbing trees and she's very much an adventurer, she was quite known for her feisty personality," continued Nicholl. She also felt it was likely that Charlotte's friends at nursery would know her as "Lottie", which is what William and Kate call her at home. Kate accidentally revealed the cute nickname for her daughter during a trip to Ballymena in Northern Ireland, when speaking to a blogger.
The Cambridges had another important announcement to make in September 2017. Kensington Palace's statement read, "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child. The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news."
Once again, Kate's health was a concern. "As with her previous two pregnancies, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum," continued the statement. "Her Royal Highness will no longer carry out her planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre in London today. The Duchess is being cared for at Kensington Palace."
Prince Louis Arthur Charles of Cambridge was born on April 28, 2018 in St. Mary's, the same hospital his two older siblings were born in. He became fifth in line to the throne, behind his grandfather, father and his older brother and sister. His place in the line of succession is ground-breaking, as he is the first male prince placed behind a female princess, due to the 2011 Perth Agreement.
In November 2019, Prince William spoke of the stresses of being a father of three. At a gala dinner honouring the 30th anniversary of a fundraising campaign for London's Air Ambulance charity, he music legend Eric Clapton asked if he ever found the time in his busy schedule for hobbies. William responded, "With the children it's quite hard to get the time off." He then smiled and added, "Any free time I do get, I sleep!"
As the second in line to the throne, William is often busy with official engagements. But, as revealed by the Court Circular, the Royal Family's official record of engagements, he made sure to time his return from a December 2019 trip to Kuwait and Oman perfectly in order to see his children before they went to bed.
In February 2020, William spoke to a primary school teacher prior to a Six Nations rugby match in Wales. He said that he and his family had just spent a week on a farm in Norfolk, tending to the birth of lambs. He revealed that the children took to it well, after some trepidation from Charlotte.
"We've been lambing with the children this week," said William. "Charlotte wasn't sure at first, but George was straight in there. Louis loves the tractors. They love seeing the lambs and feeding the lambs." After this, the family returned to London in time for George and Charlotte's new school term starting.
That same month, Kate appeared on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, hosted by Giovanna Fletcher. She emphasized how much she values time with her family. "With my own children, life now is so busy," she admitted. "It's so distracting and actually those simple things like watching a fire on a really rainy day provided such enjoyment."
Kate said that, "Actually, I remember that from my own childhood. Doing simple things like going for a walk together." She believed these simple pleasures are of paramount importance. She stated, "That's what I really try to do with my children as well, as it totally strips away all the complications and pressures as a parent."
Zoe Bonser, show director of The Baby Show, the U.K.'s largest parenting convention, told the the Express that Kate doesn't follow all the royal parenting traditions in order to find her own style. "Kate also values quality family time and has broken some traditions – such as sending George to a mixed school and dropping George off at school herself," she said.
Bonser continued, "Kate also had her mum to help in the days after the birth, rather than an army of staff." She also noted how carefully Kate manages her children's public appearances. "Kate values privacy and tries to keep the children away from the media apart from on more special occasions or events," she said.
"Kate also takes pictures herself, giving her the freedom and power over what is used in public – and a chance to use her art skills," Bonser added. However, she did acknowledge that Kate still obeys traditions as well. "For instance," she noted, "the children are always dressed in traditional British clothing for public appearances and Kate is happy for them to appear in photo calls."
Indeed, pictures and public appearances of the Cambridge children tend to highlight something that hardcore Royal fans have noticed for a long time. In their NHS video, George, Charlotte and Louis are dressed in casual attire, far removed from the formal wear they usually sport. Crucially, though, their clothes were strikingly similar to ones their parents have worn in the past.
Charlotte wears a striped navy and white top, which was extremely similar to one worn by Kate at a polo match when George was a toddler. While 23-month-old Louis sports a blue jumper with a check shirt underneath, and a pair of jeans. This is what his father William was wearing when he and Kate announced she was pregnant in 2012.
This was far from the first time a young royal had publicly worn a similar outfit to one from the past. It's an important, and very steadfast tradition. As Jennifer Newman of Town & Country magazine wrote in January 2019, it serves, "the visual narrative of the British royal family, adorably harkening back to previous happy memories, and emphasizing continuity."
As Newman points out, "For the British royal family, clothing is about much more than fashion. When Duchess Kate re-wears a piece multiple times, it signals her frugality as a future Queen. Or, when Duchess Meghan chooses to promote a brand like Outland Denim, which benefits victims of sex trafficking, it indicates a cause that is important to her."
A particularly strong example of the tradition is Prince George dressing in ensembles that purposefully recall ones worn by his father William as a child. In 1984, at his younger brother Harry's christening, Princess Diana dressed young William in a white collared shirt with blue piping and blue shorts.
At his younger brother Louis' christening, 34 years later, George dressed in a virtually identical outfit to the one his father had worn. His shorts were navy, rather than blue, but the shirt was intentionally reminiscent of his father's. Clearly the royals want the public to notice their reverence for family tradition.
In a Kensington Palace photo snapped in 1985, William is sitting on a rocking horse wearing a plaid shirt and navy blue shorts. In 2017, he and Kate dressed their son in a remarkably similar manner on an engagement during the royal family's tour of Poland. It's not the same shirt, but it is so similar that it simply must have been chosen to match William's.
In 1984, a two-year-old William was brought to St. Mary's Hospital to visit his newborn baby brother Harry. He wore red shorts and a white collared shirt with very distinctive red design across the chest. In 2015, two-year-old George attended his sister Charlotte's christening wearing basically the same outfit.
In 2015, at the Trooping the Color parade, William was pictured in his full red military regalia. He's holding George, who wears a light blue shirt and shorts combination. The photograph was a very faithful recreation of a photo of William in Prince Charles' arms from the 1984 parade.
There was even a time when George wore a specifically commissioned recreation of a garment worn by his father. At his christening, William wore the Honiton christening gown. This was worn by 62 royal babies, after being originally made for Queen Victoria's first child, Princess Victoria, in 1841. It was finally retired in 2004, after 163 years.
At this point, the Queen tasked her personal wardrobe advisor Angela Kelly with crafting an exact replica of the gown. She enlisted clothing makers from Britain and Italy in order to ensure the new gown was as perfect a recreation as possible. This is the gown that all of William and Kate's children have worn at their christenings.

This project involved the supply and installation of two staircase structures complete with balustrades.
The main staircase was a three storey structure formed with straight flights and suspended half landings between each floor level complete with landing structures, balustrades to the open sides of the staircase and along the adjacent mezzanine floor edge incorporating a feature fascia panel. This was formed with tubular balusters, a tubular handrail and a series of stainless steel wire rope infills.
The feature staircase was a single storey structure curved on plan, formed with an enclosed wall stringer and cantilevered treads. On the open side of the staircase hanging balusters were provided from ceiling level down to each cantilevered tread, with an offset tubular handrail. A matching balustrade was provided around the floor level opening.

Onyejike's GCAF uses the arts to empower and educate young women in Nigeria where sons are often more highly valued than daughters, and many girls drop out of school at a young age. Performing and visual arts and creative writing programs are employed to build confidence, promote education and social rights, and help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Inspiring independent and empowered women isn't an easy task in Nigeria, where women from all walks of life— rich and poor, educated and uneducated, urban and rural—face inequities and violence such as female genital mutilation, child marriage, trafficking, rape, and polygamy.
Using painting, sculpture, music and dance as catalysts for social transformation, Onyejike is demonstrating the unique power of art to foster independence and achievement. A GCAF Dance Fest, for example, focuses on inculcating positive HIV/AIDS practices. Youth involved with the foundation also participate in poetry, crafts, bead making, and ceramics, and a collection of their art is shown in the GCAF gallery and library.
Initially beginning in 2000 as a volunteer operation with no financial assistance, Onyejike now oversees GCAF centers in three of Nigeria's states and operates programs in more than 200 communities. Reaching thousands of young women between the ages of 8-25, GCAF receives support from the Nigerian and U.S. governments, as well as from international organizations such as Art for Global Development and the Alliance Française.
"The Chicago Council on Global Affairs is delighted to honor Ada Onyejike and her groundbreaking use of the arts to empower youth in her country," said Marshall M. Bouton, president of The Chicago Council on Global Affairs. "The education of Nigeria's children is vital to Africa's future and to the United States. Chicagoans will be inspired by Ada Onyejike's creativity as well as her dedication to providing unique opportunities for Nigeria's rising generation."
The Patricia Blunt Koldyke Fellowship is funded by the Koldyke family to recognize a leading social entrepreneur between the ages of thirty and forty-five from any region of the world, working to transform their societies through creative innovations to social problems. This year the selection committee focused on primary and secondary education in sub-Saharan Africa. Exemplifying these qualities, Onyejike was selected from a large and extremely competitive applicant pool.
During her visit in October, Onyejike met with Chicago's education and civic leaders, philanthropists, government officials, and the media. The fellowship was designed to provide her with perspectives on our city's best practices. Onyejike delivered a major public address for The Chicago Council on Global Affairs on the evening of October 23, 2008.

THEY'RE like mountain goats, these women. Skittering up, over and around the ice sheets and the snow slicks on every sidewalk in central Moscow, their spike-heeled boots somehow finding purchase on the sharp, crusty surface. Some of them are texting while they do it.
My wife and I are making our way slowly up Tverskaya, Moscow's grand boulevard and main shopping drag. The traffic-choked street is so wide it cannot be crossed above ground, so every 100 yards or so subterranean passages, chockablock with stalls selling everything from lingonberry cakes to lingerie, bring you from one side of the boulevard to the other. Everywhere, it seems, we are moving too slowly. Young people in leather coats and wool caps zip around us, as do the hundreds of improbably elegant women in their gravity-defying boots scurrying without pause over jagged ice floes that force us to stop, consider and plot our ascent.
Moscow, in the grip of the cold, is not everyone's idea of a perfect vacation. It is a famously difficult city in general — especially for pedestrians, those with no Russian and anyone put off by pushy crowds, confusing signage and surly ticket sellers. Winter just makes it worse. People are bundled up in furry cocoons. The sidewalks are largely uncleared. Still, for my wife and me, visiting our daughter, who was there for a semester abroad, it takes only a few hours to realize that present-day Moscow is also alive and energized, a city in the giddy grip of really enjoying itself.
It would be a stretch to say that Muscovites embrace the winter, but they come as close as human beings are able to outside a ski resort. Bitterly cold outside? No matter. Snow piles atop snow piles? Life marches on. Restaurants are full. Sidewalks are crowded. Theaters and opera houses are packed. Parks are crisscrossed by people on ice skates along with those who are simply taking a leisurely stroll as though at the height of spring.
And there is one real plus to coming in the lowest of the low season. The main tourist sites — the museums, the cathedrals, the tourist markets — are uncrowded and relaxed. No long queues for tickets, even at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. No waiting in line, behind a thick crowd, for a quick glimpse of Catherine the Great's coronation dress.
We arrived in Moscow well after dark, which was not saying much as there were only about six hours of true daylight each day we were there, the sky not brightening until around 9 a.m. and dipping into twilight by 3:30. We stayed at the Hotel National; the towers of the Kremlin glowed from beyond the Alexander Gardens, across the street. Luxurious and surprisingly small, the National is perhaps the city's most historic top hotel. John Reed stayed there while covering the Bolshevik Revolution, and Lenin himself took up residence in Room 107 until grander digs were available in the Kremlin.
A quick drop of bags and a hurried consultation with the hotel's chipper and efficient concierge staff for recommendations of a Georgian restaurant, and we were back in our winter coats and headed through the crowded subterranean passage to the Kremlin side of the boulevard.
The central part of the vast, sprawling city is defined by semicircular ring roads that arch around the Kremlin — the city's heart — like crescent moons. The road just outside the National curves around the Kremlin and the old, adjoining Kitay-gorod district. About a half mile up Tverskaya, at Pushkin Square, you hit the Boulevard Ring, and another half mile or more beyond, at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Garden Ring. Within those bands lie most of the city's tourist destinations, top restaurants, major hotels and most popular theaters. It's a vast area, though. The map says it's 2,500 yards from the Kremlin to the Garden Ring along Tverskaya, though with winter's chill and the clotted subterranean pedestrian tunnels, it feels a lot longer.
You enter Red Square through the Resurrection Gate, a pair of archways torn down during Stalin's time but rebuilt in 1996. The gate perfectly frames the vast expanse, with the colorful onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral in the near distance.
A small protest was under way — we tried to read the signs and listen to the bullhorn speeches, but couldn't figure out what it was about — and some of the protesters were handing out leaflets while others tried to sell incense sticks that could be used in any of the nearby churches.
This heart of Moscow, in crisp winter air that seems to make the spotlights on the Kremlin towers shine with a hard clarity, is splendidly beautiful at night. While there are still drab boulevards and forbidding side streets, the main squares and thoroughfares are aglow with illuminated onion domes, commercial billboards and bright red stars still burning above the Kremlin's towers. But most astonishing was the sprawling ice-skating rink decorated with kiddie cartoons and balloon shapes that takes up a giant chunk of the square, smack between GUM's central door and Lenin's mausoleum. It was well into the evening on a very cold night, but there were still more than a hundred people making their way around the rink, mostly families with squealing children, and middle-aged couples keeping a tight grip on each other.
We passed by the ice rink several times during our week in Moscow. There was never a line and it was rarely crowded, but there were always at least a few families with children taking tentative laps in the shadow of the Kremlin walls.
We were among the few people walking through the frozen gardens on the Kremlin's north side, past the somber Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with its guards standing to attention inside glass booths safe from the elements, and up to the Old Arbat district. The Georgian restaurant, Genatsvale V.I.P., was a kind of theme-park affair dressed up to look like an old mill, with spinning wheels, log walls and a roaming accordion player.
Communication was difficult. The waitress, dressed in a sexy version of Georgian folk costume, offered little help. So we opted for the famous Georgian dishes we'd read about, a delicious chicken satsivi (cold chunks of white meat in a walnut sauce), some khachapuri (cheese-stuffed bread) and an assortment of grilled, skewered meats. It was very good. But other tables seemed to be having much grander, happier feasts — huge platters of meats and salads and toast after toast, sometimes with the kitchen staff scurrying out to serenade everyone.
This was also our first encounter with what we discovered to be a distinct Moscow character: the insistent coat check person. At many modest restaurants, and certainly at the top ones, customers are given no choice but to check their coats (it's free, and tips are not expected). A dining room free of winter gear seems to be a sign of class, and the whole process becomes a little ceremony, a punctuation point between the cold world outside and the warmth within. It also provides a frame for that most frequent Russian winter activity: wrapping the scarf, putting the coat on, positioning the hat just so, checking to make sure your gloves are in the pocket.
The next morning began with another walk across Red Square — and another protest beside the Resurrection Gate — before we dove into St. Basil's. The interior is a labyrinth of chapels, one for each of its domes and spires. We were pretty much left on our own to pick our way through the maze. Outside of one school group, the place was empty.
It's a brisk quarter-mile walk from there to the ticket booth at the foot of the Trinity Tower, the Kremlin's main entrance for tourists. Those who, like us, intend to start with a visit to the Armory Chamber — the museum of the czars' possessions, from Fabergé eggs to ornate carriages — were directed to yet another gate a few hundred more frigid yards away.
Walking across the cold, deserted streets of the Kremlin was a lonely exercise, watched only by a handful of grim-faced guards in long wool coats, icy plumes of breath shooting from between compressed lips. In the fortress's historic, central square, a few seconds of orientation were needed to distinguish the Cathedral of the Archangel from the Cathedral of the Assumption from the Cathedral of the Annunciation. But once we did, we were able to make our way through them in chronological order, a kind of mini-course in the development of Russian ecclesiastical architecture. Again, except for the middle-aged ladies perched on chairs to keep a steely eye on things, each place was ours.
Winter in Moscow

In the early evening, we made our trek over to the Red October Chocolate Factory, a complex of art galleries and bars on an island in the river. The hope was to get a glance at Moscow's trendy side, but we apparently arrived too early, and made do with a couple of ridiculously expensive cocktails (no beer or wine, just cocktails on the menu) at a place near the huge, kitschy statue of Peter the Great atop a tall-masted ship. For dinner, we wandered back up Tverskaya to Kamergersky and found that sushi place where young people were slamming beer and sake surrounded by a dozen flat-screen monitors playing silent films of sea birds floating over beaches and estuaries, an homage to the Moscow Art Theater, just across the way, where Chekhov's "Seagull" had its first big success in 1898.
By the third day, my feet raw from the long trudges across the snowy city. I was ready for a steam. My wife passed. The sexes are separated at Sanduny baths, and she didn't want to go in alone. I had no such qualms, though I was the only one in my section of the baths who was not part of a group. After three attempts to find the right door into the complex, I was shown to my own vinyl sofa and given hangers for my clothes, a towel and some slippers (at an extra charge). A bottle of mineral water set me back the equivalent of $4.
Inside, men took turns pummeling one another with thick bundles of leafy birch branches soaked in water. I tried whipping myself with the things a few times — it's supposed to make your skin feel great — but couldn't quite get the angle right. Every now and then, one of the Russian men walked over to a giant steel door in the wall, opened it to reveal a glowing red inferno and slung in a giant ladle of water. By the time I left, the floor was strewn with leaves and debris, like a driveway after a storm.
ONCE upon a time, the train trip to St. Petersburg was, for most tourists, an overnight one. Those trains still exist and have their nostalgic adherents. But since 2009, with the inauguration of the high-speed Sapsan train, the trip can be made in four hours, making Peter the Great's former capital an easy hit for travelers willing to fork over the $200 round trip. In a day and a half we were able to devote five hours to the Hermitage, have a terrific Indian meal at Tandoor and a beer at a faux British pub near one of the ice-choked canals, and spend a couple of hours meandering around the massive Gostiny Dvor department store on Nevsky Prospekt, all decked out for the holidays — without rushing or breaking a sweat.
Back in Moscow, desperate to buy some gifts before flying back to New York, we spent a bitterly cold Saturday picking our way through the sprawling Izmailovo flea market on the edge of that park. The crowds were thick, despite the weather. It's a standard stop on the tourist circuit, the place to go for antiques, memorabilia from the Soviet era, fur hats and hundreds upon hundreds of painted wooden nesting dolls.
Despite the temperatures, from mid-December to mid-January it's bustling with tobogganing, troika rides, folk arts, musical events, souvenir stalls, ice skating and dozens of images of Ded Moroz, or Grandfather Frost, the Russian version of Santa Claus, and his sidekick, the svelte Snegurochka, the snow maiden.
The idea is to get something authentically Russian, a bit of folk art perhaps, or a shard from history; certain stalls featured the flotsam from Russia's past — old silver samovars, platters commemorating the latest Soviet congress, patriotic posters glorifying angry workers and happy cosmonauts.
My wife wanted to find some embroidered linens for her mother's dining room table, and we went from booth to booth, inspecting the various designs as the bitter wind whipped around us and people made their way precariously up the market's icy steps.
Finally, she found what she wanted — a long, gorgeous red-and-cream tablecloth with an embroidered winter scene. The elderly woman in a flowery babushka who was working at the stall, and who periodically reached beneath the counter to warm her hands on an electric heater, grandly spread out the tablecloth and pointed to its many wonderful features.
To close the deal, she flipped over the tablecloth with a flourish and pointed to a small tag at the bottom corner. "Williams-Sonoma," it said.
Moscow Russian Winter Festival. Folk arts, dance, food, crafts and troika rides, from mid-December to mid-January, in Izmailovo Park and Revolution Square. newrussiacenter.org/winter_festival.htm.
December Nights Festival. Classical concerts, from the second half of December through early January, at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. arts-museum.ru.
Vyugovey Ice Sculpture Festival. One of the largest of several ice sculpture exhibits in Moscow, December through February, on the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics grounds. icefestival.ru.
Ice-Skating in Red Square. A rink goes up every winter just outside GUM Department Store facing Red Square, though other favorite skating sites are in Gorky Park and Patriarch's Ponds. Sessions of an hour and 20 minutes are 250 to 500 rubles depending on day and time. gum.ru/en/projects/rink.
Winter River Cruises. A fleet of heated, fully enclosed icebreaker ships plows the Moscow River for two-hour cruises from the Radisson Royal Hotel to Novopassky Monastery; 800 rubles. radisson.ru/royalhotel-moscow/river-cruise.
The key thing about visiting Moscow is to acquaint yourself early with the city's amazing metro system. It can be crowded and brusque, but some of the stations are spectacularly beautiful, and it can take you to within walking distance of almost every major attraction. Tickets are 28 rubles (about 90 cents at 30 rubles to the dollar) for a single ride or 265 rubles ($9) for a 10-ride ticket.
In St. Petersburg, most main sites are within easy walking distance, though it's a long walk if you intend to venture across the Neva River to pay your respects at the grave of Peter the Great.
As far as location goes, it's hard to beat the historic Hotel National at the foot of Tverskaya Street (7-495-258-7000; national.ru), Moscow's main thoroughfare. That may be why Lenin chose to stay there until his quarters were ready inside the Kremlin, just across the street. If Stalin is your preference, you could also check out the Radisson Royal Hotel, on the Moscow River at Kutuzovsky Prospekt (7-495-221-5555; radisson.ru/royalhotel-moscow). It is inside one of the seven gothic skyscrapers Stalin built around the city. In St. Petersburg, the Renaissance Baltic Hotel (7-812-380-4000; marriott.com/hotels/fact-sheet/travel/ledbr-renaissance-st-petersburg-baltic-hotel) is on a side street near St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Winter Palace, but just far enough off bustling Nevsky Prospekt to be calm and restful.
Moscow now offers an array of dining choices, from trendy bistros to fast-food chains. Café Pushkin (7-495-739-0033; cafe-pushkin.ru/en) was instantly the city's finest restaurant when it opened in 1999 in a Baroque mansion on the Boulevard Ring. While other restaurants may have eclipsed it in culinary terms, it is still a spectacularly beautiful place to have a meal, especially during the holidays. For a more countrified atmosphere, and spicier Georgian cuisine, there is Genatsvale V.I.P. (7-495-988-2656; en.restoran.ru/msk/detailed/restaurants/genatsvale_vip), just off the Arbat pedestrian mall. St. Petersburg has a wide variety of dining choices. We had an excellent Indian mea at Tandoor, across from the Admiralty Building (7-812-312-3886; en.restoran.ru/spb/detailed/restaurants/tandoor).

Keep you titbits, let's have full equality, inclusion and representation
Posted by Robin Clarke in School of Museum Studies Blog on July 27, 2017
50 years ago today, the Sexual Offences Act became law. It partially decriminalised homosexual acts between men. The 'partial' is important here as inequality still existed. There was still inequality in terms of the age of consent (that was rectified only as recently as 2001). Inequality still existed in terms of the circumstances in which […]

So yesterday was world mental health day, I didn't write anything, I didn't think of anything I felt I could share. Not that there isn't a lot that needs sharing stigma that needs challenging and other things, there is, but one day can't change all of those, I wish it could. For me every day is a mental health awareness day, every day I learn more through my struggles and challenges of living with a mental health problem. Sometimes it is hard to share things and make people aware when your going through it. I don't have all the answers. I do know what it's like to have a mental health problem, but I am still learning.
Today I saw someone tweet a quote form Will van der Hart, which said this "Your life doesn't start when your healed, it starts when you find Christ." This got me thinking about 'life'. Being ill isn't the way I want my life to be, it often doesn't really feel like living at all, however I became a christian quite a few years ago. No, I don't fully understand Christ, but I don't think that is what the quote means. However, I am lucky enough to be able to journey with Christ through the ups and downs of being ill, and I am living a life, I am spending time with God, with others. I am getting through each day and learning each day, I am living life.
This leads me back to a point I have been directed to a lot recently. Feelings and emotions are not what we should base our truth and our lives on. Just because I feel a certain way doesn't make it true. Not that feelings are bad, but they shouldn't be what runs our lives, they should play their very valid part, but they are not the main part. Combatting feelings with the truth can provide real comfort. For example, I often feel alone - I am not alone, I have an amazing God who is always with me and I have great people around me, thats the truth - knowing the truth doesn't always make me feel less alone, but it reminds me that feelings pass and that I do not have to live my life based on them. Feelings and emotions are a massive part of BPD. Feelings for someone with BPD are extremely intense and overwhelming and can change very rapidly, which can often leave people feeling like their decisions are taken away from them because the emotional reaction caused is so strong the actions are done before the thoughts are processed. People with BPD have a really hard time trying to STOP then THINK then DO. There tends to be a more DO then STOP then THINK automatic brain process, but with practise Im told this can change. But emotional decisions can be a part of anyones life, and generally a not very helpful part. We can combat it with truth.
So I challenge people to think about their own mental health, you don't have to be ill to have problems with it, being aware may help you make changes that prevent illness. You don't have to be ruled by your emotions. And remember, as I remind myself, that is a bumpy path, mistakes are OK, learn from them and keep taking steps, and if you cant then let Jesus carry you.

When the Clemson football team runs down The Hill before its Nov. 23 game against The Citadel, the roars of the Memorial Stadium crowd will resonate all the way to the Caribbean.
Clemson will hold its first-ever "Purple Out" for the Military Appreciation Day game against The Military College of South Carolina, and official T-shirts are available with a design meant to show the significance the color purple has to the United States military and Clemson University.
But that is far from the only reason Clemson fans can feel good about putting on purple that day.
Clemson and IPTAY have partnered with Knights Apparel, a Spartanburg-based business, which will produce the exclusive 2013 "Purple Out" T-shirts through its Alta Gracia brand, which represents another benevolent aspect of the event.
The Alta Gracia factory, located in Villa Altagracia, Dominican Republic, is the only one in the developing world to meet the standard of paying its employees a "living wage" and thus be certified by the Workers Rights Consortium.
"It's a pretty unique factory," Alta Gracia Brand Director Rip Scott said. "We have visitors from all over the world who want to come see it. But it's a pretty simple premise: We want to pay workers enough to support their families and take care of what they need to in life, and we want them to have a safe work environment, be treated with respect and have rights in the workplace."
Villa Altagracia had been a large base for apparel manufacturing in the Dominican Republic at one time, but when a major factory closed down in the municipality, it left a huge hole in the local economy and thousands of trained workers unemployed.
That scenario hit home for Donnie Hodge.
Like many in the South from his generation, the textile business played a major role in Hodge's upbringing. His father worked at the local cotton mill in their hometown of Pacolet Mills in Spartanburg County, and Hodge saw entire communities virtually shut down when the local mills went out of business.
Hodge played baseball at Erskine College before going into the textile industry himself, and after a long career as an executive at a number of successful companies, was hired in 2008 as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Knights Apparel.
At the time there was quite a bit of discussion on campuses around the United States about labor rights for workers who made college apparel, but those philosophical ideals had always remained just that, while the reality was profit margins could be increased by using the cheap labor available in Central America and the Caribbean.
But the admittedly "hard-headed" Hodge was determined to make a sustainable business model out of paying workers a living wage with Knights Apparel. He had experience working in the Dominican Republic, so he got on an airplane and found a suitable building – the then-abandoned factory in Villa Altagracia – and set about repairing the building, putting in the equipment and hiring the workers.
More than 500 people lined up to apply for jobs the first day.
The Alta Gracia factory now employs about 135 workers and is making a difference in each of their lives by paying every worker what equates to 3.5 times the minimum wage in the Dominican Republic.
"This is one of the things I'm most proud of in my career because, the Alta Gracia factory, I think I went down there and made that happen," Hodge said. "It's a small factory, and it's only making a difference in one community. But students around the country can identify that it gives them an opportunity to support it. I cannot express how grateful I am – and I mean this from the bottom of my heart – and how much I appreciate Clemson's support."
The "Purple Out" initiative began as a brainchild of the student body several years ago, but took a while to gain momentum. That momentum hit a tipping point when the athletic department realized the drive the students had to make it a reality, and about a year and a half ago, threw its support behind the initiative.
In August 2012, it was decided that the "Purple Out" would happen, but the Clemson student government and athletic department decided to wait until this football season to do it to make certain it was done the right way, according to Student Senate Athletic Chairman Hunter Bagnal, who serves as a liaison between the two.
To get the ball rolling, a student competition was held to find an official "Purple Out" logo for the shirts, a process that was considerably more complicated than it sounds.
"The tricky thing about Clemson is we have a lot of symbols here – the academic Tiger face, the Clemson Paw, certain fonts we can use – so it's really tricky trying to make sure you're not stepping on any toes with this," Bagnal said. "We got about 35 designs and ended up meeting and put them all on the wall, and William Craig's just jumped out at us instantly. We had to talk to the Department of Defense as far as making sure the Purple Heart was good to go, and his design just lined up so well that we knew he'd won."
Once the design of Craig – now a graduate student – was selected, the next step in bringing the "Purple Out" to fruition was for the athletic department to get the shirts produced, which is where Knights Apparel entered the narrative.
"The deal they gave us was just unbelievable," Bagnal said. "The connections they have – they do the Penn State 'White Out' shirt, and they have experience at this – and they were able to get us in vendors such as the bookstores here, the local Target in Anderson, and the connections they were able to bring us to the mass scale were great. To get 80,000 people to wear purple, we can't just stick it in one store and pray that they buy it. Knights Apparel allowed us to be able to reach all these people with just one distributor."
Of course, this isn't the first time that purple T-shirts have been sold for Military Appreciation Day at Clemson. In past years, the ROTC and military organizations on campus have made shirts and sold them, and the athletic department gave the rights money it received back to those organizations.
In this case, the "Purple Out" shirt is replacing the Military Appreciation Day shirt, but the end result is the same – a significant portion of the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts goes directly back into military programs on Clemson's campus.
"The students are using this as a platform to show awareness for our military as a whole – active duty and veterans and everyone in between," Bagnal said.
That is where Collegiate Licensing Company comes into the equation.
CLC is a licensing agency that works on behalf of Clemson and roughly 160 other schools around the country, as well as additional collegiate properties such as bowl games, the NCAA and Heisman Trust. Its primary role is to be the conduit between the manufacturers who seek to produce college-branded products and the schools.
In this case, CLC acts as a clearinghouse for those companies to come through and apply for a license, and it then processes that information on to Clemson, which in turn makes the final decision on anyone who gets a license with the university.
"We would make sure that if people are submitting designs, purple designs, that may infringe a little bit or cut pretty close to what Knights Apparel is doing, then we flag those and make sure that those are not reaching the marketplace," said Mike Carlton, Senior Director of University Services for CLC.
And the impact of that licensing is particularly important in the case of Clemson's "Purple Out," since any proceeds from T-shirts that are not the official "Purple Out" shirts made by Knights Apparel are not only not going back to the workers in Villa Altagracia, but also are not going back to the military organizations at Clemson.
"This is an initiative that Clemson has taken upon themselves to make sure they are doing their due diligence to ensure the product is manufactured in an appropriate manner and the people making those garments aren't working in sweat shop conditions," Carlton said, "and then on the other end to work and ensure that the money that's generated from the proceeds that come from this particular initiative and this design are going to reward our military and those folks that do what they do to protect our country."
Those looking to get their hands on an official "Purple Out" T-shirt should have no trouble finding one.
There will be 11,000 T-shirts at the stadium for student-ticket holders, so anyone who attends the game with a student ticket will get one of the shirts at no charge.
Beyond that, the shirts are also available at Barnes & Noble Bookstore and Stadium Stores on campus, Mr. Knickerbocker's, The Tiger Sports Shop and Judge Keller's in Clemson, Palmetto Moon in Greenville, Courtyard by Marriott in Clemson and select local Target stores, as well as online at Fanatics.com and the Official Online Store of ClemsonTigers.com.
For anyone on or near Clemson's campus, the Barnes & Noble store in the Hendrix Center is a perfect place to pick up the shirt. It is a flagship store for Knights Apparel and the Alta Gracia brand, which means it has a full setup of their products.
"We're open all week during the week, the 'Purple Out' shirt is in the store, and we also have it at the stadium during the game because we do the novelty stands," said Brandon Williams, Community Relations Manager for Barnes & Noble. "It's in all of the stadium locations, the store that we opened in Littlejohn Coliseum, the store in the WestZone – Solid Orange Station – and then the actual novelty booths inside the stadium."
Of course, while Clemson wants fans to wear purple to The Citadel game, it still wants fans to wear orange to the other home games. The Solid Orange initiative is even a part of the design of the "Purple Out" shirts.
But for a school with such a proud military history, Assistant Athletic Director Mike Money said the student-driven "Purple Out" is something Tiger fans can be proud of when they don their purple shirts Nov. 23.
"For that one game, we want everybody to wear purple in support of the military," Money said. "I think here at Clemson we've got an amazing Military Appreciation Day. The military groups on campus do a tremendous job with that, and I think it's something that just ties perfectly into that."
For Hodge, the proximity between Knights Apparel and Clemson, as well as his own connections with the university – Hodge's father-in-law, Zane Woodfin, is a 1948 graduate of Clemson University and a member of the school's Hall of Fame – are further reasons the "Purple Out" is such a special event.
"When those fans get there and they see that team poised to run down The Hill, it's just unbelievable," he said. "And no matter what's happened to those people that week, no matter how it's been, when they look and they see that team poised, they rally around that. Now, you've got this 'Purple Out' support that kind of rallies and makes them feel like a part of the team, and it's Military Appreciation Day, as well. I'm sort of an old-fashioned sort of guy, and I'm not embarrassed to be that way – and I think if you can't feel good about that 'Purple Out' shirt and supporting the military and supporting Clemson University, there's something wrong with you."

A Non-stick Ketchup Bottle
Remember when you had to pound the bottom of glass ketchup bottles to get the ketchup out? It was so frustrating. The ketchup would either suddenly plop out in a big glob, or you'd get tired of waiting and have to fish it out with a butter knife, which was really messy. But then came the plastic squeeze bottle -- heaven! The ketchup came out pretty easily and smoothly, although you could never get it all out, and would have to throw out the bottle with several burgers' worth of ketchup still left. Soon, those once-innovative squeeze bottles may seem quaint. Because now there's LiquiGlide.
A crew of Massachusetts Institute of Technology mechanical engineers and nanotechnologists created the new, nonstick coating to help all kinds of condiments effortlessly glide out of their bottles, from ketchup and mayonnaise to relish and mustard. Despite some challenges in finding food-safe materials to use, the team did find them, and their project took a mere two months to complete. Now the development team is working hard to sell LiquiGlide to bottle companies. Let's hope they're successful [source: Rogell].

You most certainly have followed the uproar about "aliens" in Swedish coastal waters recently. This has resulted in a general trend in Sweden, and the West, to see new threats arising from the "East". Nobody's talking about the threat against the East.
What suprises me a little is that no (that I have seen) comparisons are made between the recent development and what took place before WW2 started. We have seen the US and their supporters edging themselves onto the Russian borders just like what happened then. Hitler sought partners on Balkan and the Baltic. He positioned himself by invading Poland, Yugoslavia and Greece. Romania and Bulgaria cooperated with him. Finland was hostile after the Winter War 1939-40. Norway and Denmark were occupied. Turkey was under the spell of the British. Czechia was taken over by Germany. And Hitler had Eastern Prussia.
Today the "West" has almost exactly the same position as the German dictator had then. This probably wouldn't have mattered so much it it wasn't for the fact that when Russia is working itself up from the deep depression after the break-up of the Soviet Union, it is seen as "expansionist" and aggressive. Even if it's just trying clamber itself back to a reasonable position in the world.
I only hope Sweden and Finland are able to keep their heads cool and not let themselves be used for vicarious motifs by other states.

The challenge
Due to persistent pressure from commercial enterprises on the producers, it becomes increasingly important to ensure the detectability of the core temperature.
Nearly all manufacturers who are manufacturing machines / equipment / devices now integrate PT100 temperature sensors into their devices to enable the user to record the core temperature. Usually, these PT100s are connected to control units, which switch to the next program step only after the core temperature has been reached. So far so good. But how is it ensured that the PT100 has also hit the center of the product?
Current situation
Usually it is placed by an employee who would have to be very attentive. As a security, in most companies the requirement of the core temperature is increased by 2-4 C ° in order to ensure the minimum requirement of the core. (instead of 68 then 72/74C°)
Human failure at this point can, virtually lead to defective products the product, which necessitates further time consumption thru manual follow-up measurement. Deviations in post-measurements of up to 3 ° C are not uncommon and are only 0.5 to 0.8 cm away from the center.
The requirements
in order to use MproS tool is = exact stuffing the filling caliber of your casing only.
Core temperature requirement
Safety approval
additional expenses possible
Does your production look like this?
This is the usual situation in meat and sausage production. The additional energy required to reach a core temperature of 72 ° C as a safety factor – for which an ambient temperature of 8 ° C is needed – is considerable as a percentage and the time required is up to 30 minutes. Time and energy are the resources of all production companies, which are decisive for the pricing of the product. This led us to the idea of MProS.

Millinery correspondence lessons, like those published by the Woman's Institute of Scranton, Pa had been incredibly popular and enabled women to save cash by designing and producing their own hats, or even commence their own millinery enterprise.
In their letter in the July 29th issue of The Lancet, doctors from Gemelli Hospital in Rome recommend that women who experience repeat miscarriages, also recognized as recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA) or intrauterine development retardation (IUGR)-a condition in which a infant is born substantially smaller sized than typical-could have celiac illness that has gone undetected.

A striking divide exists in the health of people at the top of the economic ladder and those near the bottom.
Wealthier people tend to experience diseases or illnesses less frequently, have better access to care and live longer than those who are poor. Part of this is due to the mere fact that the more affluent can afford to pay for superior care or hold jobs providing better health benefits. But, to a certain extent, a person's health also depends on the neighborhood where he or she lives.
An Urban Institute report published Monday explores the link between economic well-being and health with an analysis of how income-related policies may advance health outcomes.
Part of the report highlights a range of community factors preventing people from living healthier lives. For one, residents of poorer neighborhoods are more likely to live in food deserts, turning to fast food restaurants and convenience stores because grocery stores aren't close by. Such communities are also typically hindered by greater levels of air and water pollution, particularly if major roadways run through them. Advertisers, too, often target low-income neighborhoods for tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food products, the report notes.
A community's built environment further plays a role in improving or limiting one's health. Results from the 2011 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), shown below, illustrate the prevalence of neighborhood amenities that help kids lead healthy lifestyles. About 63 percent of children in the most affluent households lived in neighborhoods with parks, recreation centers, sidewalks and libraries, compared to 45 percent for those living in poverty. Households below the federal poverty level were similarly three times more likely to lack all four amenities than families in the top income bracket.
Additionally, socialization by other adults outside an immediate family shape children's perceptions of acceptable behaviors that potentially carry short or long-term health consequences. In the same way, peers and community social networks also influence young people, wrote researchers Ingrid Gould Ellen and Margery Austin Turner.
Neighborhood characteristics don't affect all segments of the population equally, though. Most research suggests children are particularly vulnerable to unhealthy living settings.
Along with neighborhood-level characteristics, a significant part of disparity has to do with low-income patients simply not being able to pay for the same level of care. This further extends, according to the Urban Institute report, to one's ability to pay for nutritional meals, recreational opportunities and programs promoting lifestyle changes, such as smoking cessation and drug treatment programs.
But multiple studies have found that neighborhood-level factors still influence health conditions, even after accounting for income and other individual and household variables. One study of Alameda County, California, for example, linked poor social environment factors to higher mortality risks. Individuals living in "low social environments" were found to have a greater risk of death over an 11-year period after taking into account individual income, education, race and various health measures.
It's true that the causal link between income and health goes in both directions. Disabled people, for example, have few opportunities to earn higher incomes. For the most part, though, it's greater income that affords people better health and not the other way around, said Lisa Dubay, an Urban Institute senior fellow who co-authored the report.
And Dubay pointed out that it's not just poor families whose incomes pay a role in limiting health. The relationship extends across the socioeconomic spectrum; middle class people experience more frequent health issues than those with higher incomes. This fact is further reflected in NSCH data, which shows how reported overall child health status improves each step up the income ladder.
Although evidence linking income to health outcomes is strong, health benefits rarely surface in policy debates surrounding income-related policies. "The relationship is not talked about as much as it could be," Dubay said.
Studies have found, for example, that the Earned Income Tax Credit has had positive effects on infant health. Recent research also suggests that Social Security benefits play a role in pushing down mortality rates among older adults.
"Both conservative and progressive strategies -- from policies that enable small businesses to thrive and take on new workers to policies that provide tax credits and sick leave to working parents -- are really health policies," the report states.

Transform Your Body With Bulgarian Bag Training
You may be saying Bulgarian what. It was kind of new to me too. Bulgarian Bag Training is something I was introduced to by my buddy Troy. I think you'll love it. It's fun, versatile, and will make the perfect addition to your home gym.
If you have never used one before, don't worry. Troy is giving away his new eBook, Bulgarian Bag Training Basics. Read on and I will tell you how you can pick it up for nothing. You'll discover the basics and be able to get started using this awesome piece of equipment right away.
I am all about simple effective exercises. Not a big fan of machines either. So when my Troy told me about the Bulgarian Bag I was all over it.
Bulgarian Bag – What Is It
Basically a Bulgarian Bag is a cross between a sand bag and a kettlebell. It isn't all that old. It was only in 2005 that the bag was first brought to life. Ivan Ivanov, a former Bulgarian Greco-Roman Olympic athlete was looking for a training tool that would be versatile enough to throw and push to improve explosive power and make other exercise more dynamic.
Bag training offers you movements that cannot be duplicated with any other tool. The bag allows you to move in all three planes of motion during a single exercise. Plus they allow you to combine both cardio and strength training in one piece of equipment.
Perfect for MMA guys because not only can you throw it but you can strike it too.
From what I understand Ivan got the idea from a tradition back in Bulgaria where shepherds demonstrated their strength with sheep and goats.
Obviously wrestlers couldn't workout with sheep so the bag was born.
As you get into great shape, this one piece of equipment can help you get transform your body. You will burn fat and tone muscle, and look great.
How To Make A Bulgarian Training Bag
At a price point of $250 I suggest you make one. A bag is extremely easy to make and will only run you about $20.
What you need:
- Large tire inner tube
- Zip ties
- Duct tape
- Wood Pellets/Rubber Mulch/Sand/Steal Pellets
It is really easy to make. Just watch the video and follow these steps:
- Cut off the section of inner tube where the valve stem is located.
- Roll about 6″ of one end tightly, then secure with a tie wrap to make one handle.
- Fill the tube with weight. Pick any of the materials from above, or mix and match.
- Roll about 6″ of the other end tightly, then secure with a tie wrap to make the other handle.
- Cover the handles with duct tape
Bulgarian Bags are available in different weights. The recommended weight really depends on your current strength and overall athletic ability, physical conditioning, and experience. But as a rough estimate go with a bag that weighs about 20% of your body weight.
You may think this rater light. But after a few sets in you'll be wondering how it got so heavy.
How To Use The Bag
The first thing to do is pick up Troy's eBook. It is free if you pick it up Thursday or Friday. After that it's still a great deal at $5. In it he will show you exactly how to get started with it. In the video below you will see Troy demonstrating one of the basic Bulgarian Bag Training exercises.

The Galaxy Tab A2 XL has resurfaced online and SamMobile has grabbed some specs for you which you could use. For starters, the bezels have been trimmed down and the Home button has also been removed from the front panel.
The Galaxy Tab A2 XL will come with a 10.5-inch LCD display with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. It will be equipped with an 8MP rear camera and 5MP front cameras for selfies and video chat.
Under the hood of Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 XL is a quad-core Snapdragon 450 processor coupled with 3GB RAM for smooth multi-tasking. The device will run on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box. On the storage front, there will be 32GB internal storage. Just like other Samsung Galaxy tabs. A2 XL will also come with a massive 7,300mAh battery to keep you going a couple of days long.
Unfortunately, Tab A2 XL will neither come with a fingerprint sensor nor iris scanner. However, it might come with facial recognition feature to keep your device secured besides the customary pin and password options. There are still doubts on the presence of Bixby button, so let's just leave it there. As per the current rumors, the device is expected to come to limelight officially after the Galaxy Tab S4 launch.
Even though the news has come from a trustworthy source, do take it with a pinch of salt as not all the news leaks are completely accurate.
