Senate President Bukola Saraki is currently locked in a meeting with Chairmen of 45 political parties, in his office.
The meeting comes on the heels of Saraki's visit to the hilltop Minna mansion of former Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) on Wednesday, August 8, 2018.
After the meeting, Saraki referred to IBB as "a father and leader". IBB is one of a handful of powerful kingmakers in Nigeria's patronage based political system.
[No available link text]
Saraki recently defected from the APC to the PDP and it is widely believed that he is nursing a presidential run ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Saraki's PDP recently entered a coalition with about 38 political parties, with the sole aim of prising the center from the governing APC in 2019.
The senate president is at the center of a raging impeachment controversy, with his former party, the APC, pulling out all the stops to have him removed as the highest ranking lawmaker in the land.

West Coast Lap Band Revision Surgery Experts
One in 20 American adults is severely obese. If you are one of these individuals, you know that you need to lose weight if you want prevent or overcome a number of serious and chronic health issues. These comorbid diseases include diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, increased risk of blood clots, and even an increased risk of depression and some types of cancer. Although many people who are overweight, obese, or severely obese are told that diet and exercise will solve all of their problems if only they can make it work, people with very large amounts of weight to lose often feel as if the deck is stacked against them. Weight loss is difficult even in small amounts and, for people who have a lot of weight to lose, it can be next to impossible. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., is one of the premier bariatric surgeons on the West Coast. He founded Dr. Feiz & Associates to gather an incredible team who can help patients before, during, and after procedures like Lap Band revision surgery.
This procedure, which involves a sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band removal, helps many patients continue their weight loss journey. Dr. Feiz has years of training and experience in bariatric procedures, and has become one of the most qualified experts to perform this type of weight loss surgery. For qualifying patients, Dr. Feiz can remove Lap Band that isn't performing as it should, then permanently reduce the size of the stomach with a sleeve gastrectomy.
If your Lap Band has stopped functioning as it should, or is causing you pain, you may qualify for this type of procedure. Dr. Feiz and his team are also available to answer questions about the benefits of the sleeve vs. Lap Band procedures. Contact Dr. Feiz & Associates today for your first appointment.

01 Mar Bonjean: Trump learns the limits of personal power, at home and beyond
Ron Bonjean, a former Republican congressional leadership aide and a partner at the firm Rokk Solutions, said the resistance to Trump within the GOP won't get worse if he retains the backing of the party's core voters.
"He's actually getting rather light Senate Republican pushback on the emergency declaration compared to what it could be at this moment by circumventing Congress," Bonjean said. "As long as the base stays with the president, most Republicans are not breaking from Trump for fear of facing a primary challenge back home."
Bonjean added that while many Republicans weren't sure what to make of the Kim summit at the outset, "walking away from Hanoi early was considered a smart thing to do for the country and he deserves the praise for not reaching for a deal that wasn't there to be made."Read the full article at NBC News

IBM Watson Health sought out help from Cranium in supporting their new rebrand initiative. As part of their initiative, Cranium helped create various branding and marketing strategies to include overall branding and design support, copywriting, email strategy, landing page design, trade show booth design, national ads, powerpoint presentations, digital brochures and many other strategic deliverables. The biggest challenge was the coordination of brand messages between the various IBM Marketing departments. However, with Cranium's extensive experience working alongside many other clients with their new brand initiatives, we were successful in helping to launch the updated brand while at the same time managing the continued marketing efforts within the organization.

With so many fewer cars on the streets during lockdown, air pollution has fallen by up to 50% and people have been walking and cycling to local shops and parks, as well as to work.
But now, as lockdown eases, cars are returning to the streets. If Southwark doesn't act to provide more space for pedestrians and cyclists, all Southwark residents will suffer.
- Many people will not be able to travel safely to work. The majority of residents don't have access to a private car and there will be reduced capacity on public transport for months to come.
- More people will choose to drive, creating gridlock - causing delays for those who do need to use motorised transport, including delays to buses.
- Increased air pollution means more heart disease, asthma and strokes, as well as exacerbating the impact of coronavirus.
It's a question of social justice: 60% of Southwark residents do not have access to a car. With limited capacity on public transport, they need safe ways to walk and cycle. Workers in health care, retail and construction who can't work from home are more likely to be on lower incomes and most in need of safer ways to commute.
If Southwark Council doesn't act quickly, there's a real risk that as people avoid public transport, Southwark will become a corridor of choking gridlock, from the southern suburbs to the river.
Meanwhile, people still need extra space on pavements for daily exercise, recreation and essential tasks while keeping a safe distance from each other.
But the last few months have shown that rapid changes are possible.

In early May, Southwark and Lambeth Green Parties welcomed Siân Berry as first guest in its speaker programme, Beyond Covid-19. The topic: Universal Basic Income (UBI).
With much to cover, Siân provided an informed and passionate overview of Green Party policy on this issue and explained some of the research that has gone into this globally, as well as answering members' questions. It became clear that the concept of UBI and the support and resilience it provides was a key policy that first attracted Siân to the Green Party.

'Once 80% of the population wears a mask, the spread of a virus during a pandemic can be stopped almost immediately.'
There is evidence that masks can significantly reduce the amount of virus spread by people who have Covid-19 but may not realise it. To a lesser degree, they also provide protection against catching it. It's a pro-social action to wear a mask: My mask protects you; your mask protects me.
The campaign for #Masks4All is gaining momentum. In the Czech Republic, it started as a grassroots campaign and then passed into law. Within three days, almost 100% of citizens were wearing homemade masks.
Professor Trish Greenhalgh spoke on the World At One on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday 16 April, pointing out that masks can be made of almost any available fabric, and that even if homemade masks are not 100% effective, if a high percentage of the population are wearing masks, there will be a huge drop in transmission rates.
Wearing cotton masks for essential trips to shops or on public transport is a simple, effective action that will protect all of us, and above all key workers like bus drivers and shop assistants. Homemade masks do not replace existing essential measures - hand-washing, keeping a safe distance, staying in - but they are another tool to fight the virus.[Read more...]
We're very concerned to learn of a planning application made by Southwark Council for permission to chop down four mature poplar trees and eight ash and maple trees in Bessemer Grange Nature Garden (also known as Nairne Grove Nature Garden).
This small, biodiverse garden is used by pupils from Bessemer Grange Primary, as well as for Forest School community activities. The school's catchment area includes three large council estates - Champion Hill, Denmark Hill and Dog Kennel Hill. Many of the pupils live in flats without gardens. For them, the chance to learn about nature in a woodland setting is rare and highly valued.
This photo from the school's website shows a Year 1 class in the garden.
The trees are covered by Tree Protection Orders and the garden is listed as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation by Southwark Council, as well as being in a 'Critical Drainage Area'.

The Deal
When it comes to miniatures (and let's face it, most of my hobbies), I find myself having to wheel and deal with my wife before (or sometimes after – usually after) I buy something. These days, the deal is, I can buy whatever miniatures I want as long as I paint them all before I buy more.
Now I know any self-respecting minis fan has piles of unpainted lead piled up. I mean, something cool catches your eye and you've just got to have it – now! Buying stuff and not painting it is just a normal condition for you and me.
Then again, when I think of this deal with my wife, it's not that bad. As long as I paint what I have before I buy more, I can get whatever I want. Pretty good incentive to paint!
Seeing as how I want to get a force of Spriggan's Spugs, I'm driven to finish up my WIP eM4 Spacelords!
One Response to "The Deal"
Heck, that's a great deal. The deal I have with my wife if "game once a month, no minis." 🙂 To be fair it was a lot less restrictive before the baby was born, but still, I think you have a pretty good deal there. 🙂

It was FANTASTIC! Beautifully organised, everything worked like clockwork. We agreed that we had the best support team ever (and we have experience) - all delightful, very professional and nothing was too much bother.
It clearly couldn't have been a better route, such a wonderful mix of landscapes. And plenty of acclimatisation time. Nonetheless, I was glad of my summit oxygen.
Kit excellent. Double good mattresses made for most comfortable trek camping ever. Tents v good. Mess tent pretty windproof, which was vital for enjoyment. Best camp loo ever!
My favourite day was Shira Cathedral. Amazing.

Hi Lisa,
The safari trip was excellent! The stay, the food and the people were all very nice. We were happy to have Ryan and Stanley as our game drive guides they brought us up close to the animals and Ryan gave very good information throughout.
Would definitely recommend to friends who are interested in safaris :)
Also, thanks much for your help, particularly keeping the room for my Brother and his wife they've enjoyed the safari very much too!
Best regards,

Woan Chyi L reviewing Cape Town & Kruger Safari on 16 October 2019
Driver-guide: Very punctual, except for pick up for airport when he was delayed by >30 mins due to road closures. Vehicle very clean and well maintained- plenty of water and supplies of clothing for religious sites, tissues, postcards etc. Very good at understanding what level of conversation we wanted. Happy to stop for paracetamol, supermarket etc. Took us to signal box at railway since we were early (which was very interesting)
The Walawwa: Lovely place to arrive at and get a bit of rest. Great pool, lovely rooms and food etc. Peaceful oasis so close to town.
Wilpattu Camp: Wonderful food- really enjoyed trying lots of new things in excellent surroundings.Felt like the place had not been visited much recently (which I don't think it had due to the terrorist attacks) so our safari guide had been brought up from another park and did not know the park too well- it worked out well though and we saw all the animals we hoped to see so no complaints on that front. We did feel that we should have been told about extra things we could have done- when we commented on the great food on final day we were told that they could have done a cookery demo for us, but it was too late at that point. It worked well for us but clients should probably know that they are likely to have multiple wildlife in their tents (eg frogs)- didn't bother us at all, but others it might do. We were given a questionnaire to fill in at the end whilst all the staff were standing around, which wasn't ideal as you felt a bit of pressure! Felt really well looked after here!
Water Gardens Sigiriya: Beautiful suites with plunge pools- quiet and peaceful with lovely big swimming pool. Food good
Jungle Beach: Beautiful location on beach. Rooms good. Food a bit limited I would have liked a bit more variety ideally.
Camellia House: Lovely location- beautiful views. Food OK but service below average- our food orders were wrong a couple of times and even pre-ordered food was delayed. Tea factory tour was only an hour and that was the main reason to be here. It was interesting but quite brief seeing it was the main attraction according to our itinerary. Also, we were taken there in a minibus which didn't have seatbelts on all seats and was quite smelly- not up to the standard of the usual transportation. Rooms were described as having panoramic views- one did have amazing views but the other one definitely didn't.
Galle Face: Lovely old hotel- but it did have some problems (leaking ceiling and 'smuts' coming out of air conditioning.) Weather very bad (spectacular storms). It was a shame the street food tour couldn't take place but totally understandable given the weather, however we enjoyed our dinner here and free drinks/canopes!). Good choice at breakfast.

One very lucky (and very wealthy) Star Wars fan out there will get to be the newest owner of Luke Skywalker's actual, make-believe laser gun. The prop weapon—used and partially damaged by Mark Hamill on the set of The Empire Strikes Back—is being put up for auction by Nate D. Sanders of Los Angeles and is expected to sell for at least $300,000. That's even more than the toy gun used by Harrison Ford in Empire and Return Of The Jedi (which went for $200,000 back in 2013) and the nonfunctioning hilt of Luke's lightsaber (which sold for $240,000 in 2008).
The DL-44 Blaster—modeled after a German Mauser C96 pistol—was given away by Hamill to an adoring eight-year-old fan during the filming of the BBC show Jim'll Fix It in 1979. Somehow it made its way into the hands of a private collector, and now it will presumably be sold to some 40-year-old tech millionaire. Such are the mysterious ways of the Force.

New Stylish Materials For Your Doors
In the modern world people like to upgrade almost everything they own and be up to date with all the latest trends. Whether it is clothes or houses or electronics, it's all about being upgraded. But have you ever wondered how you could upgrade your old rustic door? Or didn't it cross your mind at all? Nowadays people aren't that interested in doing so and are willing to skip that part when modernizing their homes as they think it will be costly, but here are some new and affordable ways for you to give a little touch up for your doors at home.
Metal doors
The new industrial trends for doors are strong and black steel. It gives such a nice dramatic look to your whole entrance and if you could add a gold door knob, it would get a polished and rich look and will light up your entrance. Even though classical copper or stainless steel front doors are fashionable you can get a contemporary look by installing a metal door to your front entrance and you can add some details to it by using cement stones in the pathway.
Glass doors
Using glass anywhere in the house allows light to pass through into the house. Hence, using a door with glass installed in it will lighten up your entryway. Using glass side panels will not only make your house look brighter but it will save you money on having to purchase a larger front door. Just to make things even more brighter and attractive you can create a straight porch in white, leading towards your front entrance and install rows of light heading towards the door. It will create a picture perfect image for your entrance.
Steel atrium doors
This is something in the next level. If you have a large space near your front entrance you can try this trend right away. It comes with a steel grid and glass works. This style is something like industrial chic and it looks really stunning. It works with any style and you can add more of your taste to it by making the outlines of the door in any color you like even though black is the best to go with. Moreover, you can have any glass pattern you like and have a mix of different glasses installed to it such as sand glasses and normal see through glasses or even printed glasses. As this style is not like normal sliding security doors Melbourne or opening doors it will surely add class to your home entrance.
Pivot doors
This is rather a large type and it features ground to ceiling door that reels on an axis without opening or closing from a wall mounted hinge so it's not your basic door but it's much more interesting. This type of door is suitable for a place where door jamb is not possible or simply because it looks so trendy.
Wood and glass mix up doors
If you want a type of door which enhances your homes architecture or lets plenty of light to flow through into the interior this door is for you. If you're concerned about the privacy then you can use frosted glass so it obscures what going on inside of the house.
Must have door, for every door
Screen doors are doors covering an exterior door, it's very important as using this as it can block birds, flying harmful insects or leaves from entering, and moreover it prevents pets and toddlers from running outside, while allowing air and light to pass by. It allows you to gaze at the views outside of your house in a safer way. Hope your convinced enough to upgrade your old door and install a new trendy one and be up to date with all the new trends adding up. Check this webpage to find out more details.

"Five Biological Types
¶ Human Analysis differs from every other system of character analysis in that it classifies man, for the first time, into five types according to his biological evolution.
¶ It deals with man in the light of the most recent scientific discoveries. It estimates each individual according to his "human" qualities rather than his "character" or so-called "moral" qualities. In other words, it takes his measure as a human being and determines from his externals his chances for success in the world of today.
These Rules Work
¶ Every rule in this book is based on scientific data, has been proved to be accurate by investigations and surveys of all kinds of people in all parts of the world.
These rules do not work merely part of the time. They work all the time, under all conditions and apply to every individual of every race, every color, every country, every community and every family.
Through this latest human science you can learn to read people as easily as you read books—if you will take the little time and pains to learn the rules which compose your working alphabet.
"Do What We Want to Do
¶ It is easy to know what an individual will do under most circumstances because every human being does what he wants to do in the way he prefers to do it most of the time. If you doubt it try this test: bring to mind any intimate friends, or even that husband or wife, and note how few changes they have made in their way of doing things in twenty years!
Preferences Inborn
¶ Every human being is born with preferences and predilections which manifest themselves from earliest childhood to death. These inborn tendencies are never obliterated and seldom controlled to any great extent, and then only by individuals who have learned the power of the mind over the body. Inasmuch as this knowledge is possessed by only a few, most of the people of the earth are blindly following the dictates of their inborn leanings.
Follow Our Bents
¶ In other words, more than ninety-nine per cent of all the people you know are following their natural bents in reacting to all their experiences—from the most trivial incidents to the most far-reaching emergencies."
"Took It" from Grandmother
¶ The individual is seldom conscious of these habitual acts of his, much less of where he got them. The nearest he comes is to say he "got it from his father" or "she takes it from grandmother." But where did grandmother get it?
Man No Mystery
¶ Science has taken the trouble to investigate and today we know not only where grandmother got it but what she did with it. She got it along with her size, shape and structure—in other words, from her type—and she did just what you and everybody else does with his type-characteristics. She acted in accordance with her type just as a canary sings like a canary instead of talking like a parrot, and just as a rose gives off rose perfume instead of violet.
This law holds throughout every species and explains man—who likes to think himself a deep mystery—as it explains every other creature.
The Hold of Habit
¶ Look around you in shop, office, field or home and you will find that the quick, alert, impulsive man is acting quickly, alertly and impulsively most of the time. Nothing less than a calamity slows him
"down and then only temporarily; while the slow, patient, mild and passive individual is acting slowly, patiently, mildly and passively in spite of all goads. Some overwhelming passion or crisis may speed him up momentarily but as soon as it fades he reverts to his old slow habits.
Significance of Fat, Bone and Muscle
¶ Human Analysis is the new science which shows you how to recognize the slow man, the quick man, the stubborn man, the yielding man, the leader, the learner, and all other basic kinds of men on sight from the shape, size and structure of their bodies.
Certain bodily shapes indicate predispositions to fatness, leanness, boniness, muscularity and nervousness, and this predisposition is so much a part of the warp and woof of the individual that he can not disguise it. The urge given him by this inborn mechanism is so strong as to be practically irresistible. Every experience of his life calls forth some kind of reaction and invariably the reaction will be similar, in every vital respect, to the reactions of other people who have bodies of the same general size, shape and structure as his own."

Painter joins market
21 January, 2019, 11:58 am
FOR Tiko Edson, making the decision to join the ROC Market in Suva, has been a fruitful one. Ms Edson was among vendors at the monthly market in Suva yesterday.
The 30-year-old painter said this was her second time at the ROC Market.
"I actually joined the market last month. I graduated from Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) in painting and decoration," Ms Edson said.
"After that, when my contract from APCO paintings ended last year, I wanted to do something to keep my skills alive. I was inspired by my aunt in USA, who gave me the idea of selling my paintings.
"I do abstract and slash/fluid painting for wall decors. Response from the public has been tremendous at the ROC Market. Some people have even made bookings and paid for advance paintings to be made on canvases."
She added being part of the monthly market was good exposure for her.
"It takes me 10 to 15 minutes to paint on a canvas. But it takes hours for it to dry. Last time, I sold four paintings in the price range between $50 to $150," she said.
She thanked the organisers of ROC Market for allowing her to be part of it.

Gauging my eyes out
I should be getting food ready for our little Independence Day party at our house. SHOULD. I seem to say that word quite a lot lately. Instead, I'm grazing on some pound cake and by grazing I mean wolfing down this sweet and heavenly treat before the kids discover that we even have some.
By the way, I provide parenting tips for a very small fee.
Instead, I'm standing in the bathroom and glaring at myself in the mirror.
Usually, it takes me five minutes to get ready if I'm going to the mall or to the grocery store. Brush teeth, wash face, moisturize, eye cream, sunscreen, sadly pretend that I know what to do with my big, frizzy hair. That's it. No big deal.
Today, however, I decided to change it up a bit. A little makeup here and a little makeup there so my parents know that I'm not transforming into an undead. Because I'm sure that's probably on their top ten list of what's going on with me.
I'm pretty sure the toddler kicked me in the head too many times because I thought it would be a great time to use false eyelashes. Normally, I whip these babies out (falsies! Not anything else, pervs) on the few occasions I go out at night because I have Asian eyelashes and they droop. Sorta like my boobs, but that's yet another sad tale for another time when my self-esteem is a bit stronger.
Jesus fucking Christ!!
For thirty minutes now, I've struggled.
Eyelash adhesive. Poked eyes. Smudges everywhere. Shaky hands. Muttering mother fucker under my breath.
I yelled at myself in the mirror, YOU, ASSHOLE! Carl popped his head into the bathroom – were you calling me?
Now as I stare at my reflection and I realize I should just wear big sunglasses all day so I can look chic and like an asshole. Multi-tasking is so much fun!

"The Itinerary Towards Tranquility" exhibition at COAM Madrid
August 25, 2019
Organized by Weiqiao Wang + Yuan Studio and the COAM Architecture Foundation, this exhibition explores the 20 Chinese Buddhist monasteries in Zhejiang Province, focusing on the Temple of Seven Pagodas.
Early in the morning I enter this ancient monastery, the rising sun shines in the mountains. A tree-lined and winding path that leads to a deeper place, lush and colorful flowers bloom around the Buddhist monastery. The mountain is so bright that the birds are more cheerful, the lake is clear and refreshing. At this moment all things are silent, leaving only the sound of the bell.
"The Itinerary Towards Tranquility"
3 July – 31 August, 2019
COAM – Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid
Calle de Hortaleza, 63, Madrid
The exhibition takes the name of the phrase made "QuJing TongYou 曲径通幽 "(the tree-lined and winding road that leads to a deeper place). "幽 (You)": elegant, calm, isolated, peaceful and satisfied. The four Chinese characters in the poem "曲径通幽" intriguingly summarize the spatial characteristics of Buddhist temples. The poet expressed his opinion about visiting the Buddhist temple: at a specific time (sunrise with the first sunlight), special atmosphere (bamboo path, secluded place, meditation room, flower garden, mountain light, birds, shadows in the pond, the bell rings in silence), everything he saw, heard and felt, contributed to the meditation.
Therefore, the author could gradually enter the good state and experience the pleasure of the calm mind beyond secularity, which is what modern researchers call "religious experience." Therefore, we hope to explore the relationship between the life and space of the monks through the use of abstract artistic expressions, which will take visitors on a walk through the exhibition space and reach their inner peace on the winding road.
The Temple of Seven Pagodas (Qita Si), from the bustling Baizhang Street, walking through the arch, worshiping Maitreya, who laughs at visitors, causes people to get rid of resentment and irritability; then, worshiping the Four Heavenly Kings and Veda, the solemnity of Buddha shows people self-discipline and rules; entering the Yuantong Hall to worship the solemn Bodhisattva of Guanyin, and the five hundred arhats, the Samantabhadra and the Manjushri on both sides; then entering the slightly narrow courtyard of the Hall of the Three Buddhas, which lead people to think about the cycle of time and space, listening to the sound of water, to worship the Guanyin Bodhisattva with a thousand hands behind; Enter the quiet and agile pond Xiangku Longchi, in the enclosed courtyard, the lotus on both sides, the koi in the pool freely, taking people immersed in the divine atmosphere.
The path of practicing Buddhism is so rugged and winding, and it is not easy to become a Buddhist monk. Where is the mountain gate? Where is the road? Where is the destination? Going around, stumbling, isn't secular life exactly the rotation in the world's problems? Upon entering the space of the Buddhist domain parallel to secular life, the respectful, calm and isolated environment is the guide that the Buddhist temple gives us. The so-called "itinerary towards tranquility", how can you drive? The existence of Buddhist architecture is precisely the ship and the sail of "driving."

A gift to inspire
The Jack Vanier family has made a gift of $60 million, the largest private donation in the history of K-State.
Lyndon Boyer grew up near Kansas State University's main campus, around chemical engineering students who rented rooms from his parents. His Boy Scout Master was a chemical engineering professor.
"That probably had an influence," he said of his decision to study chemical engineering at K-State, where he graduated in 1952. His musical family provided another influence on his life.
"Mother was musical; she played the piano and sang. My sister was musical; she played the organ for the First United Methodist Church in Manhattan. I grew up around music; singing in choirs and playing guitar and other instruments," he said, adding that he still sings in senior choirs 70 years later.
It's little surprise, then, that Boyer and his wife, Jerri, recently decided to include gifts in their trusts to benefit K-State's Department of Chemical Engineering and music program. The Ponca City, Oklahoma couple decided to fund an award to support chemical engineering faculty and an endowment so the music program can fund opportunities and needs as they emerge.
The couple met more than 60 years ago at Phillips 66, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where she worked in sales and he worked in research and development. With a degree in business from Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Jerri helped support them when they first began their life together. They moved to Norman, Oklahoma, where Lyndon earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. The Boyers settled in Ponca City, Oklahoma for Lyndon's career with Conoco. That life would eventually include three daughters and several grandchildren — all of whom have college degrees, Lyndon Boyer proudly stated.
"We wouldn't be where we are today without our education," he said. "Seriously, we wouldn't have been able to do the things we did and get where we are without going to college. I think this gift is mostly just returning the favor."
The Jack Vanier family has made a gift of $60 million, the largest private donation in the history of K-State.
Paul and Sandra Edgerley commit $5 million to establish K-State's first endowed deanship.
After a $4 million lead gift from Regnier family foundation, Regnier Hall will adjoin an expanded Seaton Hall in the new APDesign Complex.
A $1 million gift from Greg and Mamie Case is helping tomorrow's leaders learn at K-State's Center for Risk Management Education and Research.

The last time we were on her a few years ago, when we disembarked, we had to leave the ship and walk outside to the terminal to get our luggage and go thru customs. We are in a suite this time and my question is can we skip the long line and wait and head right to the terminal to get our luggage, or will we be considered commoners and have to wait like everyone else ? Please note the sarcasm in my comments ! Thanks for any help. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixed Knot Fence Rolls are used for a variety of applications on agricultural landscapes; and it's no wonder why. These high-tensile woven wire fences are the strongest metal fence on the market for deer control and livestock security.
For one, Fixed Knot Fence, also known as Solid Lock Fence, is used to keep out large amounts of deer on lawns and gardens. These fences are also used by cattle owners to secure cows on farms and pastures.
Understanding Fixed Knot Fencing
The High Tensile Fence is determined by the inches between horizontal lines, the height of the deer fence and the inches between vertical lines.
Note: Freight charges apply to Woven Wire Fence (Fixed Knot) Rolls as well as other Fixed Knot Parts including gates, corners and ends.

All arbors begin uncovered. It's a game of extreme patience. How can you have a covered arbor when the plants you start out with are as high as your knees? The answer is simple — wait it out.
Since ours will be a roof arbor, we must bring planter boxes and soil about 13 meters from the ground. And we need about 30 concrete planter boxes.
What are the benefits?
- The concrete roof will be cooled by the shade from the plants
- We will grow grapes and passion fruit that will also be harvested
- We will also grow roses in case a couple wants to get married 🙂
- Yoga classes / exercise workshops will be shaded
- A water misting system will also keep event participants cool
- Two loft rooms below the roof will require less air conditioning once the plants throw off sufficient shade
- Evening lights will offer an alternative setting from the rooftop bar
Come check it out (in a few months). Or sooner.

Sep 20
Many conservative cultures around the world impose some sort of gender-based hierarchy, where men work to earn his family's dough while his spouse stays at home as a housekeeper tending to both their home and their children. Many of these women however have abandoned their traditional responsibilities in favor of earning money alongside their husbands, thanks to the rising costs of living. Some work on part time jobs so as to be able to tend to their family for most of the day while others do full time work from home jobs for moms.
Thanks to the technological magic we call the Internet homebodies, specifically mothers, can now earn money without leaving their homes. Here are a few good work from home jobs for moms:
Translation Jobs
Now if you are born bilingual or at least have learned a foreign language in full, you can work online as a translator. As there are more non-English-speaking Internet users than those who speak the language, you can be sure that you'll find translator jobs on the Internet. In this job, you'll receive articles, labels, slogans, or even an entire website to translate, and get paid as soon as you are done with your task.
Web Development
A lot of stay-at-home moms were university graduates. Many of them in fact have been working on a job with relation to the career path they have chosen before they settled down. Some of these formerly working moms may even have worked on good jobs such as web development, or at least have a degree in Computer Science or Information Technology. Such tech-savvy moms can always resort to home-based web development as their source of income. Speaking of which, the income comes at five digits, which would depend on the programming mother's skill.
Web development takes a lot of skill and thus can't be said as something that anyone can do. The skills that are necessary, however, can be learned, especially by those who have great logical thinking skills and those who are truly willing to know just how all the elements of web development works, from setting up the domain to all the necessary coding.
We've discussed online writing jobs so many times before, and suffice to say, it is something that anyone can do. That "anyone" does not exclude work-at-home moms. Mothers who can put ideas into words in a comprehensive and grammatically-sound manner on their own or with the aid of a trusty editor can always try their hand at online freelance writing.
They can have their services hired in freelancing websites where they can get clients who will pay them on a per-article basis. This can be said as quick money, as you get paid as soon as you get done with all the articles asked from you. Also, it helps to know that there is a good likelihood for a writer to get hired online, so long as websites keep on seeing the importance of content.
Now these are three good work at home jobs for moms who are looking to earn without leaving their homes and thus their household responsibilities. These three can earn a hardworking mom well, a salary that can even be comparable to that from an office job.

What works with Nest
Do you currently own a Nest smart thermostat or thinking about getting one? Do you want to know which smart home products work with a Nest smart thermostat seamlessly in your smart home? If so, we've created The GearBrain, a compatibility checker which shows you which smart devices play nicely with Nest Smart Thermostats, Nest Cam and the rest of the Nest smart devices.
The GearBrain can easily show you which smart devices work with Nest and the other smart products running on their platform. To start, select a product category from the dropdown filter to bring up every smart device that works with Nest. You'll be able to read reviews, find relevant content from the editors of GearBrain like How To's and news updates — as well as locate and buy the item online. Let's get started.
- Show All
- Appliances
- Doorbells
- Hubs
- Garage Doors
- Lights
- Locks
- Platforms
- Plugs
- Security Systems
- Sprinkler
- Switches
- Video Camera
- Voice Assistant
- Water Sensors
- Wearables
Nest appeared in the market with its learning thermostat in 2011, a device that picked up on how people wanted to run their home in terms of energy use and temperature comfort. When you're not at home, Nest figures that out, turning down the air conditioning or heating so energy isn't wasted to keep a house warm or cool when no one is around.
Today there are far more than smart thermostats under the Nest brand. You can find security cameras, video doorbells, door locks, alarm systems, smoke and CO alarms as well, of course, as thermostats all working together to help you run your home intelligently and efficiently. There are additional services you can add to some of these devices as well, layering more security to your house through Nest Aware, a subscription-based program which lets you view video history and get alerts when its linked to Nest's security cameras.
Besides the robust line of Nest products that can connect together, Nest also works with many brands from Philips Hue and Lifx light bulbs to Whirlpool and its line of washing machines. Nest connects to other devices including the Next x Yale Lock — which can send a passcode to visiting relatives who may have arrived for a weekend visit before you could get back from work. Have a Chamberlain garage door? Once you leave for the day, and the garage shuts, the Nest Learning Thermostat will also know to temper its heating system, since you've left.
Nest's network also dovetails nicely with Google Home, so if you're feeling a bit warm while watching your favorite TV show, you can ask Google Assistant to turn down the heat through the Nest Learning Thermostat and it's all handled without you having to get up from the couch.
To get started, all you need is a Nest thermostat, or one of the Nest Protect smoke and CO alarms or Nest Cam security cameras and other devices will then pick up, sense them, and start to work together. To link your other products, like Lifx bulbs, you just go into that brand's app and direct it to connect to Nest. There, you're done.
Nest is one of the more seamless smart home systems you can find — intuitive and expanding constantly.

Warning. The following blog post contains images that some readers may find offensive. Reader discretion is advised.
When I go to a cafe and order some deliciousness, I always ask… "Does that have mayo on it?". Because I hate mayo.
I think it stems back to when I was in kindergarten and I was at a friend's house. Her mother was one of those awesome stay at home mum's, you know the traditional types who made everything from scratch and had a slight drinking problem. Anyway, she served up lunch. There were some hot chips involved and a big dollop of mayo. I dipped the hot chip dipped in mayo and it was not nice. So instead of just telling her I didn't like it, I squashed that hot chip under the table, much like one does with chewing gum if you are gross.
Lets remember that I was 5.
She discovered what I had done. I suspect she had not had her breakfast vodka, because she called me a FILTHY CHILD!
That incident resulted in a mild case of post traumatic shock, and cemented my forever hatred of mayonnaise.
And before I move on, aioli is mayonnaise. So when I ask the waiter "Does that have mayo on it?" and they tell me no, just aioli….. IT IS THE SAME FUCKING THING.
But there is another food that divides the masses. I know this because both my sister Mrs Ryan and my sister-in-law Miss Woog suffer from it. And it was confirmed during a lively discussion over on the WoogsWorld Facebook Page.
They both suffer from BANANA-PHOBIA, and yes. It is a real condition. Google it.
Mrs Ryan realised that she had a problem when she had just given birth. A few hours later she ate a banana and left the blackened end in the skin on the tray. And them her mother-in-law leant over, retrieved the skin and gobbled up the end of it. And we all know this now requires an info infographic.
Mrs Ryan lost her shit and burst into tears. She has never really gotten over it.
Miss Woog has always had banana-phobia, compounded with an incident involving baby Harry, who had just eaten a banana, and a car trip on a windy road. I will not go into it any further, because she reads along here, and I don't want her to vomit in her office.
"People with banana-phobia are often repulsed by the sight of bananas, cannot stand the texture or smell of bananas, and cannot be in the same room with bananas."
Bananas make most bodies sing, but not those who suffer from this debilitating phobia. They are known to shake, sweat, feel nauseated at the sight and the smell. They cannot eat anything remotely banana related, such as banana bread, banana cake, banana ice-cream, and in some extreme cases, they cannot even say the word…. BANANA.
So the yellow peril can affect the way that some people behave, and naturally I have to ask…
What is your food phobia? Avocado? Tinned Tuna? Runny eggs?…… BLUE CHEESE?
What do you detest?
The Yellow Peril is used in this sense as a nod to a common term used in the banana industry.

What is a "lemon law" regarding a new car purchase?
Question Details: I bought a car that has had to be repaired several times but it still isn't fixed.
"Lemon laws" are state laws that provide a remedy for car buyers (and purchasers of other consumer goods) that compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet certain standards of quality and performance. In order to qualify as a "lemon" the car must typically (1) have a "substantial defect" covered by warranty that occurred within a certain period of time or number of miles after the car was bought, and (2) that cannot be fixed after a reasonable number attempts. If a car meets these requirements, you have the right to obtain a refund or replacement car from the manufacturer. To find out the specific law in your state you can contact the Attorney General's office or Department of Consumer Affairs.

At his sixth attempt, in the year 2000 Colin 'Chubby' Brown finally claimed his first SFP title.
By the summer of 1999 managers were now dispersed around the country, as sixth form turned into University, College or working lives. After the biggest SFP season of all time in 1998/99, with 18 teams and two divisions, the league was striped right back to just 8 teams for the seventh season. All 8 were current members of the Bungay Venture Scouts, the most regular place that these chaps could meet.
Billed as 'the champions league challenge' it aimed to be the toughest competition to date, and the league didn't disappoint with 3 of the most decorated managers at the time all finishing in the top three. Scoring was taken from the Telegraph for the very first time.
There was also an SFP Cup and Inter League Shield competition, the latter against a sister league headed up by Nick Jermy and 11 of his pals. Unfortunately records of the eventual winners have been lost, but evidence of some of the qualifying rounds have been discovered (see gallery below).

Dean Hoyle summed up Huddersfield Town's first season in the Premier League in one word: "Hard."
Hoyle is a passionate lifelong fan and seeing Town in the top flight is a dream come true – but it also had a few nightmare moments.
"How would I sum up this season? It's been hard," he said.
"People say have you really enjoyed it? At times, of course. There's been some real highs but there's also been some really low points.
"The difference between this season and last season is the pressure. If you look at the Championship season there was pressure but we kept winning games and could relieve that pressure.
"In the Premier League the pressure is relentless. We know it's the biggest stage in the world for football and we wanted to stay here but we kept losing because that's what you do in the Premier League.
"If you are a newcomer to get 40 points means you lose a lot more games than you win or draw. That's hard because there's no relief from the pressure.
"The roll of the dice is much bigger as well so financially it's a really tough place to work. If you drop through back into the Championship it's a big drop financially.
"But we're here for a second season, we can keep things together, plan and that's the exciting part."
Hoyle wears his heart on his sleeve as a fan – and his emotions are often etched on his face.
That was true at Wembley in last year's play-off final after Chris Schindler's heart-stopping penalty put Town in dreamland.
And it was also true at Stamford Bridge when a 1-1 draw with Chelsea sealed Town's Premier League survival.
The Chelsea game was Hoyle's highlight of the season.
"It's got to be," he said. "My son Daniel has a video someone took of the celebration at the end of the game. The pressure on our faces.
"The six minutes of injury time. I was thinking if we can just hold out for six minutes it will mean our season is done.
"We can go into the last game regardless of the result and have a real celebration.
"But if Chelsea score then we have to go into the Arsenal game with the pressure. So those six minutes were absolutely huge but we did it and the guys were fantastic."

Whether it's on a surfboard, while diving, snorkeling, swimming, or just getting your feet wet while spending time with your barkada, the goal is to make the most out of the sand and sea and fully embrace the spirit of beach-life: so wear your eco-friendly OOTD and be a responsible traveller.
How can you start being a responsible traveller? Carry a garbage bag in your trips: when you arrive at a beach and see trash, don't turn away and leave a bad review. Instead, pull it out and spend few minutes cleaning the shores, only few minutes to ensure that washed-up trash does not head back to sea!
Where to get your eco-friendly OOTD? REEF got you covered and here are some reasons why it should be your beachwear of choice and why #BeachFreely should be your next mantra!
220,128 pounds. That's how much trash the eco-loving brand has removed from beaches globally in 2018. Everybody loves the ocean and of course, what do you do with someone or something you love? You take care of it! REEF believes in the connection between a person's well-being and the beach. Restoring the beach from harmful pollutants essentially creates a clean and beautiful place to restore ourselves!
31,176 volunteers. That's how much people they have encouraged to take part in 861 beach cleanups organized last year! If that's not making big waves, I don't know what is! This year, REEF pledges to improve worldwide impact to 2,450 beach cleanups and tripling the volunteer count to 90,000.
1,000 kids. REEF supports Urban Surf 4 Kids and has been a passionate partner since 2016. The partnership has produced 7 Surf therapy camps that included over 80 disadvantaged youth. This also includes the Hanai and Camp Ohana programs that pair mentors with foster kids for one-on-one support taking them on a recreational ocean adventure for the first time.
They are also a proud long-term partner of the Rob Machado Foundation that educates and empowers the youth to make sustainable choices for life. They have funded water filtration stations in public schools and encourages reusable bottles over single-use plastic.
Earth-friendly plastic. You read that right! There is such a thing as earth-friendly plastic and REEF has it! The brand uses Eco-One enhanced biodegradability in some of their products! That means these items can be recaptured and used as sustainable energy source! Other products include PVC-free sandals and even board shorts made of recycled microfibers!
I could go on and on about why REEF is for shore (sea what I did there?) the coolest but these are more than enough reasons to get you in the Beach Freely mindset! It spans from enjoying the beach in your own way, but also actively promoting preservation and protecting the place we all come for refreshing our senses! So, water you waiting for? Beach Freely with REEF!

The Gangnam Payoff
It's official. Gangnam Style is the most popular video in the history of the internet, a cultural phenomenon in its own right, one of the most successful singles this millennium and has potentially done more to foster understanding between East Asia and the West than Nixon going to China.
The debate over its artistic validity and cultural meaning continues to rage with an unusually eloquent article on the Fox News (!) website stating
'If the Blues and Soul spoke to a people in pain, struggling to find love and freedom; and if Rock n' Roll spoke to a generation ready for rebellion, then Gangnam Style speaks to a generation ready for nothing--a psychological vacuum, a flight from reality, a fear of being a human being with the capacity to feel for oneself and others, with ideas and ideals that really, truly matter.'
It is hysterical though – and self mocking – and has a sense of fun that the airbrushed pop of Generation X Factor so abysmally lacks. But how is he making any cash?
This is a fascinating question as it is a well known fact that sales in music are a shadow of what they used to be – and while up and comers in the industry now need a day job to fund their music projects, what is happening at the global hit level.
Well there's Youtube ads obviously. PSY is estimated to have earned approximately $870,000 from the ads on the video – a figure that may sound like a lot to some – but actually – if that is how much the most popular video ever earned – what hope is there for the internet advertising business model?
Then there's legal downloads – Gangnam Style has been downloaded 2.7 million times in the US and has been the No. 1 or No. 2 seller for most weeks since its debut, according to Nielsen SoundScan. PSY and his team are looking at just under a dollar of that per download it would seem.
But like so much in showbiz these days – the real cash will come down to licensing, TV appearances, advertising contracts, endorsements and concerts. And the real figures there are far murkier. PSY has certainly been tireless in jetting across the globe to eke out every last drop of potential from his hit, but it doesn't look like it will be enough to propel him into the top global earners – or necessarily the top K-Pop earner astonishingly enough.
Though if he ever buys one helicopter too many and winds up skint – he can always fall back on his family's 30 per cent share of DI Corp, a successful electronics company. Or corner the property market in Gangnam.

- Ceremonies, The
Buy this book from Amazon (US)
- Blurb:
- T.E.D. Klein entered the world of horror fiction with a great big splash when The Ceremonies was published in 1984. The novel was met with much critical success, being nominated for a 1985 World Fantasy Award and winning the British Fantasy Society award for best novel. Stephen King proclaimed it the most exciting horror novel since Peter Straub's Ghost Story. The Ceremonies really is a magnificent work of horror, but it is not for everyone. If you like action on top of action, you may find yourself bogged down and discouraged by this novel. At over 500 pages, it is rather long, and it can seem even longer than it really is to readers seeking quick thrills. Klein builds this novel quite slowly and tediously, creating an atmosphere of impending doom that grows in short increments from one page to the next. It is not the awful events that make this horror novel work; it is the atmosphere of dread and suspense. One cannot help but detect a little bit of Lovecraft in Klein (and not just because one of the characters is called the Old One), although both men's style differs considerably. The power that stands to be unleashed by the completion of "the ceremonies" described here is gargantuan, an awesome, world-destroying creature called up from the depths of the earth, a creature too ancient to even be labeled evil. There are several storylines running through this novel, and their paths converge on only a few occasions, which is a facet of the writing that may bother some readers. Jeremy Freirs is a graduate student and teacher who decides to spend his summer working on his dissertation and preparing for the class he will be teaching in the fall on Gothic Literature; he thinks he has found the perfect place in Gilead, New Jersey, is a world all to its own, the home of a strict religious sect with extremely puritan ideas. Moving into a former storage building on the farm of Sarr and Deborah Poroth, he expects to spend a productive summer free from essentially all distractions - he is quite wrong in this assumption. Meanwhile, in New York, the rather reserved Carol Conklin goes about trying to survive in the big city on a small income from her job at a library. She meets Jeremy in New York just before he leaves for the summer, and a connection is made which will find the couple developing a romantic relationship on somewhat strange terms. What Jeremy and Carol do not know is that this relationship is the work of a strange, little old man known as Mr. Rosebottom. Rosie is actually the Old One working to bring his master back after a very long absence, and Jeremy and Carol are the unsuspecting keys to his success. It can take some time to really get into this novel. A lot of time is spent introducing the characters, describing their true standing in the events to come, and introducing us to the Poroths, their farm, their community, and their ascetic religion. In time, the story comes alive in much the same way that untold numbers of snakes and worms come to infest the countryside of Gilead. Some might say that nothing much happens until late in the novel, but plenty is going on in terms of building the proper atmosphere in which this novel lives and breathes. The religious tie-ins to the events at the Poroth farm work beautifully in this context. As much as I love this novel, though, I have to say it is not perfect. Despite the rich and closely cultivated storyline, the relationship between Jeremy and the virginal Carol is rather mechanical, never developing the least bit of spark; Jeremy is in fact much more attracted to Deborah Poroth than he is to Carol. I did find the Old One to be a really effective character, one strong yet mysterious enough to hold this novel together as it see-saws back and forth between Jeremy in Gilead and Carol in New York, but there is seemingly a weakness in terms of character development here that prevents me from giving this novel five stars. Despite this fact, The Ceremonies is a truly landmark effort deserving to be read and admired by all who pursue the darker paths and are willing and eager to let the plot develop at its own pace without becoming frustrated over the lack of action early on.

The Accurate Source To Find Quotes To Philip DeFranco – Hot Girls With Steve Buscemi Eyes And Everything Else That Mattered."
[Philip DeFranco – Hot Girls With Steve Buscemi Eyes And Everything Else That Mattered]
[Philip DeFranco (December 1, 1985)] Source: LYBIO.net
Hello and welcome to if you're not familiar, my name's Philip DeFranco and this is not a show, but really just me talking about stuff that mattered to me today in the news first thing I want to talk about, is something that a lot of people were freaking out about yesterday, Cisco the company that owns Flip cameras is killing the Flip camera line oh my god, what will I do not really care, because we're honest about it, even though we're given away Flip cameras, because they are popular with you guys, they are not really the best sort of cameras, even for their price range I wrote a whole blog about it, so if you're interested in a camera between one and seven hundred dollars definitely check it out, but really the only thing about this situation is 550 people have been put out of job because Flip cameras is dead. But if we look at the camera itself what are you talking about? I mean it didn't even have image stabilization in the first place the 720 was (maaeeh), the mic if you actually compare it to other mics, is terrible and ultimately, cell phone cameras are equal or better than the flip camera, but if it is a testimate to anything, the Flip camera marketing team deserves some sort of award, because they have made it a staple of the vlogging experience even though ultimately, it is an inferior product.
[Philip DeFranco]
Next up, let's talk about Bradley Cooper you're welcome ladies, Bradley Cooper has easily become one of my favorite actors past few years, Hangover, recently Limitless, I don't know how to judge A-Team, but now he has been possibly given a role that will make him or break him that is because Bradley Cooper is set to play The Crow you may remember the guy who played the Crow, Brandon Lee in 1993 died of a freak accident on set, someone else had to play The Crow to finish the movie but ultimately the movie was amazing, and every sequel they made after either bombed or went straight to DVD. Source: LYBIO.net Now because Hollywood is Hollywood they're like "Hey it's time to make The Crow let's make that shit and possibly ruin people's childhoods, that sounds fun, that sounds like a good Wednesday" So things that will happen with this movie one, Bradley Cooper might die, two, end Bradley Cooper's career, or three, it will propel Bradley Cooper to the amazing stardom he deserves, or doesn't deserve depending on your personal opinion, so to the movie buffs out there let me what you think about Bradley Cooper and if he has the acting chops to do this movie. QOTD: Can Bradley Cooper pull this movie off?

Let's move on, some awesome news coming out of Brazil, and no the news isn't DAT A** because as we all know Brazilian women are probably the most beautiful women on the planet, ladies all two of you that watch! But Brazil, is buffing up their police force with Robo-Cop sunglasses at least that's what they are being called right now. They are sunglasses fitted with tiny cameras that scan up to 400 faces per second, it then cross checks those images against criminal and a red light flashes inside of the glasses when they find somebody.
"Dubbed "RoboCop" glasses after the 1987 action film, the glasses are fitted with a tiny camera that scans up to 400 faces per second. It cross-checks those images against a database of criminals and terrorists, and flashes a small red light inside the glasses if a match comes up. Then the officer knows whom to home in on and whom to leave alone."
[Philip DeFranco]
And they say the technology is very good because it uses 46,000 biometric points on the humn a face.
"Agostini said the camera and database compare 46,000 biometric points on a person's face, so the chances of mistaken identity are slim."
[Philip DeFranco]
And it can detect someone up to 12 miles away.
"On its optimal settings, the camera can scan 400 faces a second at a distance of up to 50 yards away. But the settings can be changed to recognize faces at a slower pace, at up to 12 miles away."
[Philip DeFranco] Source: LYBIO.net
That sounds a little bullshitty, but that technology sounds amazing. By amazing, I mean, if this actually works are jail system is f***ed, do you know how many people are out there dodging warrants from one State to another. I mean, boy, I'm excited, the future is now-ish! In honor of our love for the Brazilian ladies one of the links for the description down below with be a bootie gallery because bootie is the best thing on the planet! Other than love or ice cream, ice cream is really good.
[Philip DeFranco]
Now moving on, to something a lot of people always ask me, Phill what's you like? I'll make a segment "Things Phil Likes!" They want me to mention my three favorite singles serving sites, aside of that literally does one thing, after today's show you can check them out more and waste time on the internet because really isn't that the whole point of this.
[Philip DeFranco]
First, really no surprise to anyone: Asian girls dot tumblr dot com, mainly because it just pisses my girlfriend off. Second favorite site: Wheres Randy Savage dot Tumblr dot com literally Randy Savage Photoshopped into things, and the final one, you might have heard of this recently: chicks with Steve busceme yes dot tumblr dot com, where you take a usually relatively attractive woman and and you take the eyes from a picture of Steve Busecemi and you mix them together. Creating the possible most creepiest thing on the planet. Most likely because Steve Busecemi's eyes look like tiny little vagina's, that's something you can never un-see, I'm sorry.
[Philip DeFranco]
And the last thing I wanna talk about today is a guy by the name of Quinn Matney, this story is so messed up, it deserves to be in the final segment of the day What the (beep) white people? The reason being is Quinn Matney, you might remember his name because he is the UNC student that was apparently Hate Crime A-rated, yes! If that's a word. Quinn reported to the police that he was headed to his dorm and he was attacked by an unknown male who yelled a gay slur at him and branded him with a metal object resulting in this, 3rd and 4th degree burns and all these groups came out to support him and it was like, okay, we are gonna get a positive out of this negative – fu** those hate mongers, a lot of people asked me to report on this story, I kind of held off since it seemed a little odd, and then the report came out today that is seems that: Quinn Matney falsified his report that he was actually not attacks, officials haven't gone on to say, that he inflicted the wound onto himself? Or if a friend did or what happened? But according to pretty much everybody he is lying, and if this is true easily Quinn Matney our douche-bag of the day and I hate to see stuff like this, cause assaults happen, hate crimes happen, what was it, just yesterday a woman at an airport was super late, apparently raped by some random Marine that was there, it was 10 minutes before anyone saw and stopped him, and stories by Quinn Matney just hurt the whole case especially in a world where people see an assault and they think what did that guy do to aggravate the other person so inflict pain onto them, like literally, that's one of the first things that pops into a person brain in America. Girl gets raped one of the first things, what was she wearing? That's terrible! People like Quinn Matney hurt the case of the victim, makes me sad to see, it.
"The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's Department of Public Safety has determined that a report of alleged aggravated assault filed by a student last week is false and the university will not be reporting it as a hate crime to the federal government."
"Matney, who is gay, said that the man approached him near his dorm and pressed a metal brand into his wrist while uttering a gay slur. The student said the third and fourth degree burns from the brand caused him to lose feeling in his fingers."

Drakengard 3's Producer Thinks The Game's Dark Fantasy World and High-Speed Action Will Lure in Fans
Square Enix sat down Takamaasa Shiba, the producer of the Drakengard franchise, on what will make Drakengard 3 stand out, the prequel novella, and how Drakengard 3 came back after an eight year hiatus. The famed producer talks about much in the nearly six minute video, including how the dark fantasy setting has set the series apart during a time when it wasn't as prevalent in the industry, how the high-speed action will bring back old players and lure in new players, and how working on this franchise has impacted his life.
For gamers who love pre-order bonuses, pre-ordering the game is being done in waves, with the first having expired. Wave 2 is now offering a costume pack based on the characters of Nier, including the costume of "everyone's favorite, foul-mouthed warrior, Kainè" and "the Replicant version of the game's protagonist" for the character of Zero, and the "awesomely creepy-faced Emil hat" for your dragon. This pack expires on April 9th, which is the same day that the last wave unlocks for the yet-unannounced final pre-order bonus. Pre-ordering now will unlock both bonuses, so if you're interested, hop on it asap.
Drakengard 3 will be available on May 20th in North America and May 21st in Europe for $49.99 on the PS3: players can purchase the game as a PlayStation Network digital download or via the Square Enix Online Store (where gamers can also pre-order the game, detailed in the graphic below).

Imagine a world ruled by racial segregation, in which you are forced to live and work apart from every other racial group. Imagine having to follow a system purposely put in place to deny you basic rights, and being discriminated just because of the color of your skin. Imagine living a parallel - yet separate - life from other individuals who are being openly favored just because of the race they belong. This was Apartheid in South Africa.
Imagine a world in which you are not able to move freely within the borders of your homeland, and you are confined to live and work in specific areas you didn't choose for yourself. Imagine being obliged to carry identification papers at all times, and being subject to random search at the mercy of a police force purposely created to repress you. Imagine having your citizenship revoked for no reason other than the fact that you don't belong to the racial group of the rulers. This was Apartheid in South Africa.
Imagine a world in which race is the determining factor when it comes to utilize the services provided by the government. Imagine not being able to choose the schools you want to send your kids, the universities you want to apply, the hospitals you want to be treated, the beaches you want to bring your family, the parks you want to hang out, or even the buses you need to take to get to all these places. Imagine a society in which all public areas are segregated by race, and only available to you if they carry a signboard indicating your race. Imagine realizing that those services you are allowed to access are greatly inferior in quality and quantity to those of the ruling race. This was Apartheid in South Africa.
Imagine a world in which some people have access to good education, and you don't. Where some people have the possibility to own land, and you can't. Where some people have the right to vote, and you don't. Where some people are allowed to run for office and take a leadership role in their country, and you are not. Imagine the humiliation of having to live in this world, knowing that you are being treated like a third class citizen, and you're hated by your own political leaders just because of the color of your skin. This was Apartheid in South Africa.
Imagine a world that doesn't allow you to marry somebody from a different racial group. Imagine experiencing even harsher discrimination if you happen to be a woman, with even fewer - or no - legal rights, including no access to education whatsoever. Imagine caring for malnourished children and not being able to do anything about it. Imagine not having the same access as other racial groups to a functioning health care, and having to endure inadequate sanitary conditions throughout your life.
Imagine waking up and realizing this is not just a nightmare. It's the life you were given, and there's no way out of it. This was Apartheid in South Africa.
Now imagine the end of this world, and remember forever the man who dissolved Apartheid.
Thank you, Nelson Mandela.

Transfers of bureaucrats has become the latest conflict between alliance partners the Congress and the JD(S), which also seems to be one of the reasons why former chief minister Siddaramaiah is miffed.
The H D Kumaraswamy-led government has effected several transfers in the recent past. This has not gone down too well with a section of Congress leaders, including Siddaramaiah, it is said, as the party was not consulted.
For instance, the state government is learnt to have withdrawn its request to the Centre seeking an extension for Chief Secretary Ratna Prabha, whose tenure ends June 30. She was handpicked for the top post by the previous Siddaramaiah-led Congress regime.
Kumaraswamy has also reworked the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) by transferring officials Siddaramaiah had appointed during his tenure.
Senior IAS officer L K Atheeq, who served as Siddaramaiah's principal secretary, was transferred without a new posting. Another senior IAS officer Tushar Girinath, who was also Siddaramaiah's principal secretary along with Atheeq, has been moved out and posted as BWSSB chairman. Another IAS officer B S Shekharappa, who was additional secretary to chief minister, has been transferred
as well.
Kumaraswamy has appointed IAS officers E V Ramana Reddy and S Selvakumar as his secretaries.
The government has appointed a new Bengaluru Urban district deputy commissioner by replacing K A Dayananda with B M Vijay Shankar.
It is also learnt that the government is readying a list of IPS officers, deputy police superintendents and police inspectors to be transferred, especially those who aligned with the previous administration.
Siddaramaiah, who heads the Coalition Coordination and Monitoring Committee, is said to be particularly upset over the transfer of Shekharappa as director of the Command Areas Development Authority. Siddaramaiah is also angry that Atheeq and Dayananda have not been given new postings.
A Congress minister confirmed that transfers of officials had become an issue. "This adds to the already complex relationship we are in," the minister said.
In the first meeting of the coordination committee on June 14, the Congress had taken exception over transfer of officials.
