June 29, 2018 (KHARTOUM) - Germany proposed a new initiative to reinvigorate talks for a comprehensive peace agreement in Sudan said the opposition Sudan Call group following a consultations meeting in Berlin on Friday.
After the failure of the parties to sign a humanitarian cessation of hostilities and to engage in peace talks on the conflicts in Darfur and the Blue Nile and South Kordofan, the government held a national dialogue conference without the opposition and now propose them to join a constitutional conference. However, the opposition sticks to the initial peace plan and demands its full implementation.
On Friday, the opposition umbrella held a meeting with officials from the German foreign ministry and Berghof Foundation to discuss ways to upgrade an African Union roadmap signed by the government and the opposition in August 2016.
"The German delegation presented an initiative to reenergize a comprehensive peaceful solution and solve the hindrances facing the roadmap in full coordination with the African High High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) and the other facilitators including the U.S., Britain, Norway (Troika), France and United Nations" said the Sudan Call in a statement released on Friday evening after the meeting.
Germany which has a partnership with the AUHIP mediators seems leading all the ongoing efforts to settle the armed conflicts in Sudan and achieve democratic reforms.
The former South African President Thabo Mbeki mad to meet the opposition since last March but the meeting didn't take place. Also, the administration of President Trump has less interest in Sudan's conflict resolution process, after leading it in the past years.
The statement didn't give any details of the German proposals.
The opposition alliance said it would first discuss it with the opposition and civil society forces. However, before the meeting, the Sudan Call said the discussions will include the elections of April 2020.
The opposition delegation was headed by Sadiq al-Mahdi included his deputies Gibril Ibrahim and Malik Agar, the alliance secretary-general Minni Minnawi, the head of external relations office Yasir Arman, and Meriam al-Mahdi deputy leader of the National Umma Party.

We all know how pain in the back can make our life harder. Even after all you had tried, with medication, yoga and other exercises, you still can't seem to get rid of this pain. In this situation, many people search other ways of getting help. A lot of people start using the steroid injection. But what they don't know is that this practice can be dangerous.
In many forums we can read opinions about many things. One woman, who tried using steroid injection for her pain in the lumbar spine, said that once she used steroid injection the pain was worst. She said that she has a new scale for pain now. She also said that that was the worst pain she had ever experienced. She said that she passed away from the pain and her blood pressure had dropped to 78/52.
More people who had received steroid injections for pain in the back had said similar things about their experience.
What is important to know in these situations is to understand the way Epidural Steroid Injections affect our bodies.
The way these treatment works is when the steroid is injected in the epidural space. This Injection is composed of:
- Steroid, an anti-inflammatory ingredient
- Lidocaine, an anesthetic
- Saline, has the function to dilute the anesthetic
The function of this mixture is the anti-inflammatory effect. This effect can last for a few days to a few mounts.
It is very important to know that the epidural space is very delicate. This means that this can be very dangerous. FDA had warned everyone that uses this practice. This practice can lead to many problems like: strokes, paralysis, and even death.
Even though, these ESIs maybe aren't the most natural treatment, in many cases they had helped.
Many studies have shown that this treatment has been effective for people that suffer from sciatica pain. Moreover, another research has shown that patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and sciatica pain also had felt less pain.
This means that even though many people had had bad experience with ESIs, a lot of them have felt pain relief after using this treatment. Anyways, before you agree to do this you should talk to your doctor and see if that is your best option.

Update: Kilnsea Drive Pedestrian Crossing
Clive on Kilnsea Drive after the hedge was
cut back to improve visibility for pedestrians
thanks to pressure from the Lib Dems.
Following pressure from Lib Dem Clive Jones
the need for a pedestrian crossing on Kilnsea Drive was discussed by Earley Town Council last night.
Wokingham Borough Council have said that a crossing will cost £50,000 and that it's unlikely to find the money any time soon, so Clive has asked Earley Town Council to formally support a pedestrian crossing on Kilnsea Drive and to provide some money to make it happen.
Last night t
he Town Council decided NOT to provide any money, which is unfortunate because it means the crossing is unlikely to be built in the near future, but it did agree to put the Pedestrian Crossing on its Wish List - meaning it will formally write to Wokingham Borough Council in support of the crossing.
Earley's Torys are keen to claim credit for supporting the crossing and putting it on the Town Council's Wish List, but the truth is they have ignored resident's pleas for a crossing on Kilnsea Drive for years, and it is only thanks to Earley's Lib Dems applying political pressure and helping local petitioners that this has happened, without all the
hard-work put in by
Clive and the Earley Lib Dem team the Torys would still be ignoring this issue.

Arianna Celebrates Major HuffPost Milestone
For Arianna Huffington, a comScore traffic report can sometimes be much more than a simple amalgamation of numbers. Per a memo circulated today to staff, it is also in some instances a flashpoint for a wave of prideful memories about how her company started and has grown.
Today I'm delighted to share the news of a major HuffPost milestone: in August we reached 115 million global unique visitors – the first time we've surpassed 100 million UVs on comScore – making us the #1 news site in the United States. (Our internal numbers, at 368 million UVs, are of course much higher) So much for the dog days of summer! August was also the fourth consecutive month HuffPost was recognized as the largest publisher on Facebook – with more than double the social actions of the second-largest publisher. In every significant growth area of the media business – social and mobile and video and native and global – HuffPost continues to lead the way.
I have to say, this news made me a lot more emotional than a comScore stat usually does. It's the same feeling I get when I walk into our newsroom and see how a group of five has become a teeming team of hundreds – or when I visit one of our 11 flourishing international editions. It's a lump-in-the-throat combination of gratitude and amazement; of satisfaction at what we've accomplished and surprise at how fast it all happened; of nostalgia for the early days when we celebrated every small spike in traffic and a delight in knowing that our best days, without question, still lie ahead.
I remember the first time Yahoo featured one of our blog posts on its home page and our traffic numbers went through the roof. Paul Berry, our CTO at the time, was obsessed with stats, and got so excited I worried for his health (this was before he became a fitness junkie addicted to SoulCycle). Or the time Perez Hilton linked to a blog post by Ryan Reynolds and hundreds of thousands of new users were introduced to HuffPost. Or the crazy numbers that the Tiger Woods saga delivered to our newborn Sports section.
I remember the way we celebrated when we hit 1 million UVs for the first time. And then the steady climb up the comScore chart: 5 million, 10 million, 15 million – dispelling along the way any lingering doubts of whether we could be more than a niche site, and surpassing the most iconic news outlets.
And at every step along the way, we refused to fall prey to the innovator's dilemma by constantly evolving and innovating and reinventing vital aspects of how we put together The Huffington Post, while remaining true to the core values that made HuffPost HuffPost, including:
– Using storytelling to put flesh and blood on statistics. Putting a human face on the numbers.;
– Finding the buried lede and moving it to the top of our page;
– A commitment to transparency;
– Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable;
– Putting an end to seeing every issue through the tired frame of right vs left.
– The importance of integrating service into our lives.
– Helping our readers live lives with less stress and more meaning.
– Embracing voice and attitude and point of view, and not pretending that there are two sides to every story or that the answer is always to be found in the middle.
– A belief that, when it comes to the most important stories of the day, we need more biopsies and fewer autopsies.
– Being serious about what we do while not taking ourselves too seriously. As evidenced in so many of our headlines and splashes, playful and important don't have to be mutually exclusive.
These are the things we return to again and again. All while obsessively continuing to innovate, develop cutting edge tools and strategies, and pursue new platforms and ways of telling a story to reach new audiences and better serve our current one.
The story of going from 1 UV to 115 million UVs in a little over nine years is, of course, the story of the people who built HuffPost, whose creativity, commitment, passion, and sense of purpose have fueled our evolution and our growth. People like our founding editor Roy Sekoff, who was there before day one and who, as the president of HuffPost Live, continues to disrupt and innovate (with 1.7 billion views and a shelf-full of awards to show for it). And people who now own (or who have sold on eBay) 7, 8 or 9 HuffPost Christmas sweaters, like Arthur Delaney, David Flumenbaum, Nick Graham, Ryan Grim, Jason Linkins, Nico Pitney, Nicholas Sabloff, Danny Shea, Whitney Snyder, Sam Stein, Anya Strzemien, and Stuart Whatley – longtime HuffPosters who helped define the site and continue to pass on their knowledge to the subsequent generations of editors and reporters and engineers and producers.
And of course, they've been joined by hundreds and hundreds of others, including a lineup of great new leaders who, along with all of you, will help lead the way to the next big milestones – starting with our fabulous CEO, Jimmy Maymann, and the equally fabulous trio of CTO Otto Toth, managing editor Kate Palmer and national editor Katie Nelson.
And make no mistake, more big milestones are coming. As I said, our best days are ahead. You can see it in our commitment to greatly expanding our efforts in video, our commitment to delivering a state of the art mobile experience, our commitment to social platforms and social engagement, our commitment to bringing HuffPost to more and more international markets (which now account for half of our overall traffic).
115 million UVs is an amazing accomplishment. But this is about so much more than numbers. It's about a conversation that has grown to include voices that once would have gone unheard, and a larger movement built around not just telling stories but changing lives.
Thank you for all that you've done – and all that you do – to continue to fulfill our core mission. The effort you all put in, and the quality of the work you consistently deliver is inspiring – and deeply appreciated.
I can't wait to send the email saying we've hit 200 million UVs! Thank you for everything.
Separately, Huffington Post deputy managing editor Kiki Von Glinow denied late last week that the site was failing to properly cite Reddit as a content source.

Background: Lifestyle is important in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a lifestyle programme through a smartphone application (digital therapeutic) could affect treatment outcomes at an endocrinology outpatient clinic.
Methods: In this randomised controlled study, patients were consecutively invited to participate. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. In addition to standard care, intervention group participants used a smartphone application that gave access to the lifestyle programme, through which they received personalized recommendations and clinical-guideline-compliant education about healthy lifestyle. Both groups visited the clinic every other month for six months for follow-up measurements, including body weight and blood tests for glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and blood lipids. Furthermore, all participants filled in questionnaires about distress related to diabetes, health-related quality of life, depression and anxiety. Statistical methods included parametric and nonparametric tests for comparisons both within and between groups.
Results: A total of 37 patients (23 women) were included, whereof 30 finished, 15 in each group (19% dropout), average age 52.7 ± 10.6 (2570) years. No significant differences emerged between the groups, but within the intervention group there was a significant decrease in HbA1c, from 61 ±21.4 to 52.7 ±15.2 mmol/mol. Furthermore, the intervention group saw a decrease in disease-specific distress (Problem Areas In Diabetes Scale from 19.5 ±16.5 to 11.7 ±13.4) and anxiety symptoms (from 5.4 ±4.0 to 4.1 ±3.8). No significant changes occurred in the control group over the six-month research period. Usage of the app in the intervention group was most frequent during the first months and differed interpersonally.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that a digital lifestyle programme could enhance outpatient treatment outcomes in type 2 diabetes, in terms of both glycaemic control and psychological health.

Last week we started our "Demystifying GDPR for Dental Practitioners" series from the very beginning, the establishment of the Hippocratic Oath. This week we'll tackle some newly brought up changes by GDPR that concern the day-to-day practices of dental practitioners.
Read Also: From the Hippocratic Oath to GDPR: A History of Patient Privacy
The implementation of the GDPR last May brought additional and enhanced considerations for the dental industry in the protection of dental patients' and employee personal data. The GDPR is the biggest overhaul of data protection law in 20 years. Some of the suggested requirements are revolutionary, and some are only building up already established requirements. Regardless of the size of the dental practice, the GDPR has a direct impact on the way personal information is being stored, processed and retained.
1. The Power Given to Data Subjects
Over the last 9 months, we witnessed an increase in data subjects' complaints about violations of their rights under GDPR. At the same time, regulatory bodies are understaffed and are unable to carry out wide spread enforcement actions and thus have invested in educating the general public of their rights to data protection under GDPR (through advertisements on radio, TV, newspapers etc.). This newly piqued interest in data subjects has made them more wary when it comes to dealings with organisations and has already resulted in enforcement actions from regulators. Every organisation, and in this case the dental practice especially should be quite diligent in implementing GDPR compliant practices when dealing with patient's data, because non-compliance may result in dental firms losing their practise license or reputation within their community which would be devastating for the survival of the practise.
2. Fines
It was widely proclaimed prior to the effective date of the GDPR about the increased fines. It is true, that under the GDPR the scope and nature of administrative fines imposed by the data protection agencies is significantly higher. Such fines may be up to €20 million or 4% of total worldwide annual turnover (whichever is greater).
3. Data Breach Reporting Elements
The GDPR establishes specific breach notification rules. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has published the following statement in regards to the data breach notifications: "You only have to notify the relevant supervisory authority of a breach where it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. If unaddressed such a breach is likely to have a significant detrimental effect on individuals – for example, result in discrimination, damage to reputation, financial loss, loss of confidentiality or any other significant economic or social disadvantage."
In regards to this, the relevant supervisory authority must be notified within 72-hours of the company becoming aware of the data breach.
Let's break this down a bit more: Imagine a data breach took place in 2018 but you only found out about it in 2019. The 72-hours' time frame is clearly come and gone, but that is ok, as you are obliged to notify the relevant supervisory authority 72 hours after you become aware of the data breach. Furthermore, you may have to provide information in phases as your investigation proceeds. If the breach is serious you may have to notify patients, and if so you must do so without delay. Failure to notify a breach can result in a hefty fine under the GDPR.
4. Privacy Impact Assessment
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) is a tool widely proclaimed by the GDPR. Essentially it is a tool that helps practices identify the most effective way to comply with the obligations under the GDPR. The assessment sets out the options for addressing each identified risk and whether the options for addressing the result in the risk being:
- Eliminated;
- Reduced; or
- Accepted
The PIAs that take place in dental practices and the rest of the organisations, processing personal information, are essentially the same.
5. The Rise of Data Subject Rights
The data subjects' rights established within Articles 12 to 23 of the GDPR. These rights can limit an organisation's ability to lawfully process personal data. The rights provided by GDPR are as follows:
- Articles 12–14: Right of transparent communication and information
- Article 15: Right of access
- Article 16: Right to rectification
Read more: Right to Rectification and the Healthcare Industry
- Article 17: Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')
- Article 18: Right to restriction of processing
- Article 19: Obligation to notify recipients
- Article 20: Right to data portability
- Article 21: Right to object
- Article 22: Right to not be subject to automated decision-making (including profiling)
In practice this means that dental practises need to update and/or create internal policies and procedures in order to show that data subjects' rights are carried out within the practices' everyday operations.
6. Consent
An important aspect of the GDPR is the requirement to offer people choice and control over how their data is used. For clinical records, there is a legal basis for processing special data. But if you are sending out email newsletters, for example, you will need to consider the consent requirements, which include:
- The details about the different ways data will be used and the ability to choose between them e.g. email newsletters and/or printed newsletters
- The consent statement must be clear and specific, and the indication to give consent must be unambiguous
- Tick boxes must never be pre-ticked, this is called a 'positive opt-in'
- Consent must be easy to withdraw with a clear way to withdraw it at any time
- Evidence of consent is kept, including who, when, how, and what you told people
- The consent process is kept under review and updated if anything changes
Read More: Email Marketing and GDPR – How to Do It Right! [Examples]
Thus Consent has many different aspects and they will all be further looked into in the following parts of our series "Demystifying GDPR for Dental Practitioners".
8. Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data
Sensitive personal data is in the core of the processing activities of any dental practice. The reason for this is the fact that medical information is in fact a sensitive type of personal data. In order to understand the definition of sensitive personal data we should first take a look at the definition of personal data:
Personal Data
Article 4(1) of the GDPR defines it as "Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person".
- "Any information" is understood to be literal.
- "Relating to" refers to the information's purpose and impact on someone's privacy rights. Its connection with other content is also important. For example, a job title would not necessarily relate to a person, but a job title combined with a name likely would.
- "Identified" means that an individual person has been named or singled out-for example, by specific characteristics. Within Recital 26 of the GDPR, "identifiable" refers to indirect identification, taking into account all the means reasonably likely to be used' to identify the person.
- A "natural person" is a real human being, as distinguished from a corporation. This person is referred to as the data subject and does not relate to deceased persons.
At the same time, here is the definition of the sensitive personal data:
Sensitive Data
Article 9(1) of the GDPR: "Processing of personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade-union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation shall be prohibited". – it could be noticed that the definition of sensitive data is very specific.
Thus, Sensitive Personal Data is subject to greater protections than other forms of personal data. The data subject must give "explicit consent" to the processing of such data, which may prove difficult in the case of children or vulnerable patients.
Read More: The Position of Children and Their Rights Under the GDPR
GDPR states that organisations who deal with such sensitive personal data will need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Thus, given the nature of dental practices, there is the added complication to comply with both the requirements of sensitive and personal data that they control and/or processing which requires detailed administrative attention. Given the broad application of sensitive personal data in the dental field, special attention will be paid to this matter.

Follow the Rules and Use Common Sense
More than 100 bicyclists are killed in California each year and over 100,000 are injured in collisions. These injuries are commonly the result of the bicyclist or drivers bad judgment, lack of skill or attention, or failure to obey traffic laws. Although bicyclists and motorists share the same rights and responsibilities, and are subject to the same rules and regulations, bicyclists for the sake of their own safety and the safety of others, must pay especially close attention to traffic signs, signals and crosswalks and follow all the rules of the road. These rules are available to all bicyclists and motorists in the California Driver Handbook.
Six Bicycle Safety Tips
- Carefully Choose and Maintain Your Bicycle
When selecting a bicycle be sure that it is a proper fit for you and it is the right model to match the conditions where you will be riding. A properly fitted bicycle is easier to control. A bicycle with the right frame, handle bars and tire size will handle the terrain for which it is intended. While a slim racing bike may appeal to you, it would not be suitable for tough urban streets or off road riding.
Be sure that your bike is in good working order at all times by frequent inspections. It is unlawful in California to operate a bicycle that is not equipped with functioning brakes (CVC §21201(a).
- Wear a Helmet
A potentially life threatening head injury can be prevented by wearing a properly fitted helmet. Several recent studies have shown that wearing helmets reduces the risk of severe brain injury by more than half. Under the law all bicycle riders under 18 years old must wear a bicycle helmet (CVC §21212). For maximum bicycle safety, common sense tells us that the rule should apply to all ages.
- Be Alert at All Times
Despite practicing bicycle safety and obeying all traffic laws, the risk of a collision always exists.
- Beware of stopped vehicles at stop signs, driveways or in parking spaces which may suddenly open a door or pull out into traffic
- A vehicle that has just passed you may make a sudden right turn into your path or an oncoming vehicle may turn left in front of you. Be prepared to take evasive action. Expect the unexpected and don't assume the other driver sees you. Never ride in a vehicles right side blind spot.
- Learn and use proper hand signals to let drivers know your intentions.
- Always look over your shoulder to be sure the lane is clear before changing lanes or making a left turn.
- Maintain High Visibility
California law requires the use of lights and reflectors at night (CVC §21201). Bicyclist should always wear light and bright clothing, especially during darkness. All bicycles must have the following equipment.
- A front lamp emitting a white light visible from a distance of 300 feet.
- A rear red reflector or a solid flashing red light with a built in reflector visible from a distance of 200 feet.
- A white or yellow reflector on each pedal or on the bicyclists shoes or ankles, visible from a distance of 200 feet.
- A white or yellow reflector on the front wheel, a white or red reflector on the rear wheel or reflectorized tires.
- Maintain a Safe Lane Position
Always ride in the same direction as traffic. Use the designated bicycle lane when available. If maintaining the same speed as traffic you may ride in the traffic lane CVC §21208) but this is rarely the case. On a one-way street with one or two lanes the bicyclist may ride as near to the left curb as possible.
- Be Aware of Hazards
Always focus on the road ahead and try to see the big picture. Avoid potholes, ruts, gravel, broken glass, metal grates, standing water and other unsafe road conditions. Be aware of unavoidable hazards such as railroad crossings. Slow down at intersections and crosswalks and always yield to crossing pedestrians.
California Bicycle Safety and the Law
Car insurance companies profit by minimizing claim payouts or denying claims completely. If you were injured in a bicycle accident with a motorist, or due to a poorly maintained road or path, do not be surprised if the insurance company tires to place the blame on you.
If you suffered a traumatic brain injury, broken bones or any other serious injury, it is imperative that you consult a personal injury attorney who is familiar with California bicycle laws. Only an experienced bicycle accident attorney knows your rights and remedies under the California bicycle laws and the amount of compensation the law permits. If you or a loved one were injured in a bicycle accident call Vititoe Law today and speak to a qualified bicycle injury lawyer at 818-991-8900 or contact us online.

Excellence in Real Estate
Most people do not really understand all that goes into become a realtor, let alone the best real estate agent in the community. It takes being educated about the housing market and available financing. It's more than staging a home to look pretty to potential buyers.
What does a Real Estate Agent do?
A real estate agent helps with buying, selling or renting property. Their role(s), are but not limited to coordinator, initiator, scheduler, mediator, problem solver, negotiator and resource person.
When thinking of real estate finding the best real estate agent is essential. You want the agent that has your best interest in mind. The agent works for you and you want to convey your wants and needs to them. The agent you choose will work with you and negotiate the best deals and treat you as their most important client. You should feel comfortable working with the agent you choose. Never feel pressured into anything. Remember the agent is working for you. Always understand what is being communicated to you. Ask questions. Get clarity.
Finding and Choosing the Best Agent
Do your homework. Before making a final decision on choosing the agent for you, research. Review agent's credentials. Talk with agent's previous clients. Check reviews. Check for agents' license and experience. Look at their current listings and gauge their knowledge of the area.
Communicate with the agents to ask for listings of what they have listed and sold in the past year.
Ask how long homes were on the market?
What are the agent's credentials? Many agents get additional training in particular areas.
If the agent uses a capital 'R' (Realtor), this means they are a member of the NAR (National Association of Realtors).
Make sure you prepare yourself before choosing the best agent to work for and with you. Real estate is an investment and you want an agent who represents you and the real estate industry with excellence.

With all hotels overbooked and streets the scene of motorcades rushing back and forth last week, it was indeed the 'French moment' in Tehran. The occasion was a visit by the high-profile French delegation aimed at scoping out the Iranian market at close range. A lot was said and done during the three days and much was planned for the near future.
"We had important meetings and discussions with ministers, the vice-president and top decision makers in the economic sectors," said the well-disposed French Foreign Trade Minister Matthias Fekl in an interview with the Financial Tribune after being caught unawares at the dining table around midnight at Espinas Hotel, where a joint meeting between Iran's capital market players and French business leaders had just wrapped up. The minister himself did not attend the meeting as he was busy speed-dating with Tehran officials on practical ways to get the two sides work closer together.
"We had a very important economic forum where almost 150 French enterprises participated and had discussions on the different areas of interest," he said with eyes barely concealing the exhaustion from back-to-back meetings from early morning to this late hour.
French giants whose representatives accompanied the minister included Total, Airbus, Peugeot Adepta and Veolia to name a few. Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll was also present and on Monday signed an MoU with his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Hojjati on future cooperation.
To make sure the fresh momentum in mutual ties will be sustained and promoted, it was decided that a joint economic commission be established. "We also decided with the Iranian government to set up a joint economic commission as a venue to discuss future projects and where we can meet regularly to push things forward," Fekl said.
France opened a first major European trade office in Tehran on Monday. Head of the Business France Tehran office, Romain Keraval, told the Financial Tribune that the office will seek to facilitate commercial activities between the two sides.
"This is the 70th office of Business France worldwide. Our organization is a governmental agency in charge of promoting exports and investments. At first we [will] seek to reestablish a foothold in the Iranian market," he said, adding that the next step would be to consider long-term investment through transfer of technology and joint projects with local manufacturers and industrialists. "And if the projects go ahead as planned, Iran can emerge as re-export hub in the region." He noted that transportation, auto, construction, agrifood and mining sectors are of prime interest to French companies.
The decision by Paris to make an early move to restore economic ties with Tehran has surprised pundits and policymakers both in Tehran and Europe simply because of the oft-repeated hard-line stance of the government of President François Hollande during the complex nuclear negotiations between Iran and the six world powers (five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany).
But that country did not waste time to patch up soured relations even before the ink was dry on the July 14 historic nuclear agreement to close the disputed nuclear dossier and move forward as serious and responsible countries more concerned about national interests and the welfare of their peoples. Small wonder Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius was in Tehran in late July to test the political waters and see how Iran plans to work with Europe after the end of the economic sanctions.
And then there is the stark reality of France's economic ills. Searching for new markets, trade partners and new ways of doing things obviously makes sense for that nation's political business elite, not to mention that this indeed is the demand of wisdom.
During the interview Fekl referred to the importance of Iran becoming a member of the World Trade Organization and said Paris would be willing to provide technical assistance to Tehran in its accession bid. "We also had the opportunity to discuss how France could be on Iran's side, if Iran decided to join WTO, because we think that Iran has to be part of the world economy and world exchanges."
In the latest development in Iran's bumpy road to the top global institution, Iranian Minister of Industries, Mining and Trade Mohammad-Reza Nematzadeh recently called for the establishment of a "legal economic commission" to revise Iran's foreign trade regime—the system of tariff and non-tariff barriers and export incentives—in accordance with contemporary global trade demands. A memorandum of the foreign trade regime will subsequently be submitted to WTO as a prerequisite for membership and the world body will discuss the necessary changes with the applicant country.
More than 19 years have passed since WTO first received Iran's membership application in July 1996. It took the organization nine years to accept Iran as an observer state.
President Hassan Rouhani is scheduled to visit France next month at the invitation of his French counterpart. The visit is viewed as a milestone to build closer bonds. "We will have the honor of a visit by President Rouhani on Nov. 17. It will be a very important time. There are a few weeks left to prepare things, to prepare roadmap for different sectors and to choose different projects we want to push forward," Fekl said.
In response to a question on barriers to normal bilateral trade, the minister referred to "financing" as the primary difficulty French firms face in wanting to work with Iran. "We are working on the banking and financing issues to ensure that businesses can work concretely in Iran; there are important steps to be taken," he stressed.

Starting the day with a hot cup of tea is a daily ritual for most of us. It refreshes you, energizes you and prepares you to face the day ahead. However, it has been known since ages that teas are much more than just a wakeup call. They are a wonderful remedy for various health issues like when you are suffering from a cold or an upset stomach, or even when fighting stress or morning sickness. Kahwa tea is one such beverage which an amazing combination of delicious taste is, aroma and a bundle of health benefits. It has been known to be a part of Kashmir's cuisine since ages. Due to the presence of saffron, it serves as a warming drink and helps to withstand the cold winters.
Kahwa is an exotic mix of Kashmiri green tea leaves, whole spices, nuts and saffron, which was traditionally prepared in a brass kettle known as samovar. The samovar has a central cavity where hot coal is placed while the surrounding space is reserved for boiling the water and other ingredients for the tea.
There are different types of Kahwa tea depending on the combinations of ingredients used, and each one has its own distinct flavor and aroma. An ideal Kashmiri Kahwa contains saffron, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves along with one or two dried fruits such as cherries, apples, raisins, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, dried apricots or dates.
Benefits of Kahwa Tea
1. Improves Digestion
Kahwa tea helps to cleanse the digestive system and improves metabolism. It is also known to ease digestive problems such as constipation.
2. Burns Fat
In Kashmiri households, it is served after meals since it not only aids in digestion but also helps to wash away fat, thus making it an ideal addition to a weight watcher's diet. It also helps to prevent the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels and thus reduces the risk of heart diseases.
3. Builds Immunity
The saffron present in Kahwa tea is an excellent source of vitamin B12, which helps to recharge the body's defense system.
4. Stress Buster
Being rich in antioxidants, Kahwa tea helps to make you feel relaxed and reduces anxiety levels. It also helps to counteract the negative effects of stress-induced toxins in the body.
5. Remedy for Cold
It serves as a perfect home remedy for cold, sore throat and chest congestion. It also helps to get rid of the phlegm that develops during cold.
6. Improves Skin Health
The presence of antioxidants helps to moisturize the skin and reduce the occurrence of acne. The crushed almonds added to the tea also work well to cleanse the skin and bring about a natural glow.
7. Energy Booster
Kahwa tea is not only a great way to kick start the day but also helps to instantly recharge you whenever you feel tired or lethargic. It is the perfect beverage to relieve headaches, cheer you up and to make you feel more active.
My favorite recipe is as below. The soothing drink with its pale golden tinge imparted by the saffron along with the mild flavor and aroma of spices instantly rejuvenates both your body and mind.
1 cup water
2 cardamoms, slightly crushed
½ inch cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 tsp Kashmiri green tea leaves
A few strands saffron
1-2 tsp honey
1. Boil 1 cup of water along with cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon.
2. Add Kashmiri green tea leaves and switch off the flame. Let it infuse for about 2-3 minutes.
3. In the meantime, blanch and slice 2 almonds and put in a teacup along with a few strands of saffron.
4. Strain and pour the tea into the cup. Sweeten with honey and enjoy.

POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, Okla. -- A manhunt is underway after authorities say a suspected burglar shot at multiple people.
County law enforcement tells News 4 Johnny Brown is accused of burglarizing from a home on Coker Road just before noon Thursday. The victim's grandfather stopped by the home and did not recognize Brown.
"I got to thinking about it after I left. I thought, 'this don't add up. I better call John's wife, my granddaughter, and see if John is behind this,'" said Deward Hudson.
His granddaughter later called her brother, Adam Hudson. He and his father made their way towards her home.
"I saw a big puff of smoke or dust from the road whenever I topped the hill and I thought man, what's going on? And then I saw my dad's truck go by chasing a truck with a trailer on it," said [Adam] Hudson. "The guy wasn't getting away period. That's what I thought. If I get my hands on him, I'm going to stomp him into kingdom come is what I thought I was going to do."
They got to the end of Highway 39 and Coker Road when shots were allegedly fired by the suspect, barely missing Hudson.
"We topped the hill, went down the next valley and he leaned out of the window and I was crouched down a little bit behind the dash watching and by that time a bullet came through my windshield right by face and blew glass in my face," said Hudson.
Pottawatomie County Undersheriff JT Palmer says the chase was about two miles long, ending near Leo Road. The suspect abandoned his truck near the woods.
"He is still armed with the handgun that he used and there were other guns that we found in the vehicle so we don't know how many guns he actually has on him at this time," said Undersheriff Palmer.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Pottawatomie County Sheriff's at 405-273-1727.

A Japanese woman who built a cult following online with her video game skills has been recognized as the world's oldest YouTube gamer — at the age of 90.
Hamako Mori, known as "Gamer Grandma" to her 250,000 YouTube subscribers, started gaming 39 years ago. Her YouTube channel launched in 2015, and she posts up to four videos a month.
Hamako Mori的频道名称是"Gamer Grandma",在YouTube上有250,000粉丝,她在39年前开始玩游戏。2015年她推出了自己的YouTube频道,每月上传多达4段视频。
In her clips, she does everything from unboxing new consoles to broadcasting her gaming prowess.
And now Mori, who counts the "Grand Theft Auto" series among her favorites, is officially the world's oldest gaming YouTuber, according to Guinness World Records.
"After living for this long, I feel more than ever that playing games for this long was the right choice. I am truly enjoying my life — it's rosy," Mori said in a media release from Guinness World Records.
Mori maintains a sharp sense of humor in her videos, with one dubbed "elder plays Elder Scrolls V Skyrim," referring to the popular fantasy role-playing title. They also offer a candid close-up on her life: In "90-year-old grandma plays Dauntless" — which has more than 3 million views — Mori blows out candles on her birthday cake before vlogging her take on the monster battling game.
"I'm going to play 'Dauntless' today," she says. "After I started playing this, it was such fun, and I couldn't stop. I can't look at any other games — it's all about this one ... sometimes I end up playing until 2 a.m."
Mori has also collected an array of consoles over the decades. The first one she owned was Cassette Vision, which was released in Japan on July 30, 1981.
Mori在过去几十年也收集了很多游戏机,她的第一个游戏机就是1981年7月30日在日本上市的Cassette Vision。

I want you to do something for me. Close your eyes. Well, after you read this next part. Pretend you are in your local Janome dealer's shop. Wandering around all the beautiful machines. Are you there? Good. Then picture your dream machine. Perhaps it's a quilting model. Maybe it's a 6700. Or a 9400. You've had your eye on a new machine, and it's time to make a decision. Ready? Open your eyes.
I'd like to introduce you to Stella, my new Janome Skyline 9 Sewing & Embroidery Machine. The last time I had a brand new out of the box machine was when I finished high school, and it was exciting. That new machine smell, opening the box and pulling out the Styrofoam casing. It's an amazing feeling. After a crazy busy week, I finally had the chance to sit down and enjoy and record this experience for you. My new machine arrived to me in a sturdy box, complete with carry handles. Such an awesome feature. It was so easy to move it from the car to the house.
This box is huge. And packed so well, I was so impressed. Look at all the Styrofoam padding!
Then I had to lay out all the cool accessories that came in the box: the Embroidery arm, knee lifter, 3 different sized embroidery hoops, the manual (don't be scared of this one!) and all the feet. Stella definitely came ready to sew!After I poured over all the incredible goodies, it was time to lift Stella out. I was surprised by the weight of the machine, and then remembered that she's a computer too. So be careful when you remove machines from their boxes! I set her on the table, and stopped to gaze at how pretty she is. And look at all those stitches!!!
The foot pedal on this machine is awesome, nice and wide. I powered it on, and the light is so bright. I love it. But then, I was confused by this message:
If this happens to you, do not panic. I did have to make a phone call, and then was completely dumbfounded that the machine just wants you to advance the fly wheel lol. And then I felt like I needed more coffee :). Once I raised the needle, it made some "turning on" sounds and it was ready.
I took a deep breath, and opened the manual to figure out how to wind the bobbin. Don't be intimidated by this step, it really is quite simple and logical once you figure it out. Plus I love that it has a built in spot to cut the bobbin thread after you wind it. Janome has an incredible drop in bobbin system, that is so easy to use. And you can see it exactly as you place it in, no fumbling or looking underneath to make sure you have it in the right spot.
I think my top moment of joy was discovering how to use the needle threader. We've all done it. Lick the thread, fiddle with the needle, get up real close and then try to thread the needle. If you're good at it, it'll only take once or twice. But if you need to take off or put on glasses, or adjust your head to see, it's a pain. Enter the genius of Janome. I was so impressed actually, that I made a video for you to see just how easy and simple it is.
I actually threaded and rethreaded over and over, just to experience it more than once. I'm sure the novelty will fade, but for now, it's pretty awesome. Once I threaded, I was ready to sew. Previous machines of mine had always made a "chunking" sound. You know it, the one that you can't figure out if it needs oil, or fluff cleaned out or a thread is stuck. You try everything to figure it out, mystified by the sound, but you keep going. Not with this machine. It was like listening to a fine tuned violin. Perfect in everyway. And the stitching, Oh my. No tweaking required. In fact, I made another video for you to experience it the way I did!
Sounds like heaven to me! I'm so excited to work with this machine, and tell you all about how wonderful the Skyline 9 from Janome is.
I hope you enjoyed meeting Stella!
Until next time, create joy!
JanomeGirl is our new Janome Canada Educator who we introduced to you on a recent janomelife blog post. Can you tell that she is breathless with excitement?!

The Mazda cars have always been economy and reliable car. If view from the economic side, immediately arises question: " How 4 – $ per gallon of gas may make us sit and opinions once harmless cars?". Sporting and elegant with a basement negotiating price tag and a fuel sipping attitude that will keep most of those dead presidents in our pockets, it sounds like a perfect fit. When you add in the Zoom-Zoom nature of your Mazda, the only entertainment soar to 11. We have already discussed this car a little here, AB, and have even shown you 3 – and 5-door hatches that we have seen in metal, but now we are beginning to get glimpses of the sedan version of test desert.
As these images of new Mazda 2 Sedan, given by daily Fastlane, hope us that this fun little car could eventually be greenlighted Stateside for sales. The car could end up being identical to the sedan, we have seen in China, but it camo makes it difficult to say for certain. Whatever we end up getting, it will probably be another option pleasure at the lower end of the automotive market.

Today Show Staffers: Don't Bring Back Katie Couric!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .
Stop us if you've heard this before: There's turmoil on the set of Today.
This time, however, the wrath of many staffers is not aimed at Matt Lauer, but rather at the prospect of Katie Couric temporarily returning to co-anchor the morning show that made her famous.
As previously reported, the NBC program is considering re-hiring Couric this summer after Savannah Guthrie goes on maternity leave.
"Asking her to fill in for Savannah is really a disservice to [Natalie Morales and Tamron Hall]," an insider tells Radar, explaining why blasting to the show's past could backfire:
"You already have two seasoned pros that are a part of the show, ready, willing and able to step up for Savannah."
This source goes on to say that the return of Couric would be a "step backward" for Today.
"If the intent is to attempt to recapture the ratings glory that prevailed when Katie and Meredith were on board, it's not going to work. If anything, it will just remind viewers how far the show has fallen since that time."
After years of dominating the competition, Today now sits well behind Good Morning America in the ratings game.
Folks adore Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos - and the same can't exactly be said for Lauer.
"The network just doesn't seem to understand that the show has no chance of being number one with Matt Lauer as part of the show, period," Radar writes.
So, what should producers do when Guthrie leaves for a few months?
Today weekend co-hosts Ericka Hill and Jenna Wolfe could also be utilized," the source noted. "Why waste the money when there is already so much talent available that are already getting paid?"
Do you want to see Katie Couric back on Today?

Something always crazy happens during a full moon, they say. Matt Alber's 'How High the Moon' is a very straightforward album, though. And (joke coming) perhaps that's odd because Alber is openly gay. The great thing about this album is how at once you realize that Alber is not your run-of-the-mill wannabe crooner. His styling and phrasing isn't reminiscent of a Sinatra or a Bennett, like most male crooner are. He definitely does not sound like he is imitating someone, even while his arrangements are steeped in these singers' influence.
I wish it stood out more for me. I have listened to the album a couple of times and it has yet to make an imprint besides that first impression. Perhaps it is very nuanced that I need to listen more to it, but I ask myself, do I have the time? The 'moon theme' is cute, but have been done before, and he actually did a great job of compiling a good collection of lunar tunes. I like his longing 'Blue Moon' that has a lot more angst than I am normally used to when I hear that song. But other that that, all's a blur – like a liar's moon.

Overfishing Threatens|the Nassau Grouper
WASHINGTON (CN) – The National Marine Fisheries Service announced Tuesday that the Nassau grouper has been proposed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The fish face overfishing pressures because they spawn in predictable areas at specific times based on the phase of the moon.
The groupers are large long-lived fish mainly found in shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. They grow up to four feet long and can weigh as much as 55 pounds. It is estimated that they live up to 29 years and do not reach sexual maturity until they are nine or ten years old.
Because the fish tend to be sedentary and are easily found in large groups or "aggregations" in shallow waters during spawning, they are highly susceptible to overfishing. "There are reports from across the Caribbean where Nassau grouper spawning aggregations have repeatedly been discovered, fished, and then ceased to exist, or exist at such low densities that spawning fails," the agency noted in the listing proposal. It is estimated that of the 50 known historical spawning aggregation sites, only 20 may still remain, and where the aggregations formerly numbered in the tens of thousands, some as much as 100,000, they are now reduced to less than 3,000 individuals in surveyed areas.
The once abundant and commercially important species is now considered to be "commercially extinct" in many areas, according to the action. It is not known why the fish choose specific spawning sites, the agency said.
Due to the slow maturation of the fish, the reduced average age of fish being caught is a further concern for the survival of this species. "It is unusual to obtain individuals of more than 12 years of age in exploited fisheries, with more heavily fished areas yielding much younger fish on average," the agency said.
The fish spawn during the winter full moons, and the spawning events occur within 20 minutes of sunset. The fish are known to "mill around" the spawning site for several days, according to the action.
The listing proposal was spurred by a petition from the WildEarth Guardians. "Reining in human exploitation of Nassau grouper spawning aggregations is key to protecting these magnificent fish," Taylor Jones, endangered species advocate for WildEarth Guardians, was quoted as saying in the group's response to the listing. "The agency should also designate critical habitat in the U.S. portions of the species' range to protect the coral reefs and spawning sites these fish need to survive."
No critical habitat was proposed in the recent action, but the agency requests information and comments that may be relevant in formulating a critical habitat designation and the final listing.
Comments on the proposed rule are due Dec. 31, 2014.

What is Swinging?
Swinging is a form of recreational social sex between consenting adults, most commonly consisting of male/female couples meeting other male/female couples for sex and/or ongoing intimate friendships. Swinging (otherwise known as "the lifestyle") can take a variety of different forms. Although single women are generally welcome at swinging events, the degree to which single men are accepted varies from club to club. Although female bisexuality is generally accepted in the swinging community, the degree to which male bisexuality is accepted also varies from club to club. Swing clubs can be "on-premises" (which means that one may interact sexually with others at that event) or "off-premises" (which means that one would generally go back to the home or hotel room of other couples for sex, after deciding to do so at the event). Newspapers and magazines which carry personal ads for swingers also exist, and to a slightly lesser degree these publications may also be considered an aspect of "the lifestyle." Swingers have traditionally been largely middle class and tend to blend in quite easily with the general population in terms of appearance and ideology.
What Might I Like About Swinging?
People may be attracted to the swinging community for a variety of different reasons. Many couples find the thought of having sex with other people to be very arousing, and may find that swinging becomes a catalyst for improving their own sex lives and relationship. Some people may feel stifled by repressive societal attitudes towards sexuality, and may welcome the opportunity to form friendships and a new social network with people of like mind. Others may simply feel that sex should be a natural possibility in any friendship in which there is mutual attraction, and so appreciate the relative open-mindedness and pleasure-positivity with which the swinging community views this subject. Although the swinging community is unfortunately not always the best place right now for het-identified men to explore their potential bisexuality, it is currently a relatively good place for het-identified women to initially explore sex with other women, and this sometimes plays a role in couples choosing to seek it out.
In the past, the swinging community has been somewhat unaware of or confused by alternative sexual practices such as BDSM or Tantra. This appears to be changing, and these days you may find many folks in the swinging community who are knowledgeable about such things (though forms of BDSM much more extreme than spanking or very light bondage may make people uncomfortable, depending on the club). If you're interested in doing so and spend enough time meeting different people, you may actually find that today's swinging community is becoming a somewhat fertile place to meet folks with a variety of sexual interests. It is certainly true right now that the national swinging conventions tend to host seminars and workshops on a variety of sexual topics, which seems at least somewhat indicative of broadening perspectives in the community.
Some women may find the swinging community to be a welcome dose of sanity. Our culture can be quite cruel to women who have an active interest in sex, often derisively labeling them "sluts" - a term which stands in sharp contrast to the less derogatory term for men, "studs". The swinging community may be especially attractive to these women, who may feel their sex drives and/or sexual assertiveness should be appreciated rather than snickered about or reviled.
Some people end up learning quite a bit about themselves and their sexualities through swinging. For example, most folks find that having their partner actively enjoy and appreciate what they are experiencing during sex to be a tremendous turn-on; this is a realization which may stand in sharp contrast to the attitude that "performance" is all-important. Swinging can be an opportunity to learn to relax and appreciate sexual pleasure, and may help one view sex more as a source of pleasure and intimacy and less as a social bargaining chip or ego fuel.
Although this may vary slightly from club to club, in general the swinging community is quite accepting of a variety of body types, sizes, ages, and shapes. Additionally, many on-premises events provide an opportunity to dress sexily or go completely nude, which can be a fun and sensual experience in and of itself.

About Me
I am a curious person eager to learn anything and everything. Open to new ideas and experiences, I believe there is a lot more to life rather than just doing a 9-5 job and paying bills. I am forever in fear of living an orthodoxical life and want to get out and do something different. I come from a country where women are still struggling to break the stereotypical image our society puts us through, and I am rebelling.
Every one is different and they should embrace what makes them unique. Writing is I suppose, one of my biggest strengths and with power of words, I believe I can achieve almost anything!
My Vision
I hope to change the world, create and inspire. Looking forward to make a difference in the world!

OPPORTUNITY TO OBJECT, Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness Management Plan and EA
STANLEY, Idaho – The Sawtooth National Forest recently completed the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness Management Plan. The Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds Wilderness and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness were designated through the passage of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act (P.L. 114-46) in August 2015. The project will establish, update, and provide consistent management direction for the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness, situated on federal public land managed by the Forest Service.
For the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness Management Plan, a scoping period took place where the agencies identified important issues and incorporated feedback into a draft EA. Interested parties were given the opportunity to submit written comments, which were reviewed, and now a final EA is available.
During the objection period, which is specific to Forest Service regulations, parties who have previously submitted specific written comments regarding the proposed project either during scoping or other designated opportunity for public comment in accordance with 36 CFR 218.5(a) and 219.16 have standing to object. Issues raised in objections must be based on previously submitted, timely, and specific written comments regarding the proposed project unless based on new information arising after designated opportunities. The objection period for the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness will begin May 9, 2018.
The wilderness plan, EA, draft Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact (DN/FONSI), legal notice of opportunity to object, and other information are available for review at the Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor's Office and at the Forest's web site at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=49647 . A hard copy of the wilderness plan, EA, and the draft DN/FONSI, can be obtained from: Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor's Office, 370 American Avenue, Jerome, ID 83338, or email@example.com.

The University of New England has launched a new Centre for Agribusiness in Armidale that will connect local businesses with international networks.
The Head of the UNE Business School, Professor Alison Sheridan, said the Centre would connect business with research.
"The Centre will play a key role in the collaboration of UNE's research centres; building partnerships between key industry stakeholders, our academic staff, our students and the wider agribusiness community," Prof Sheridan said.
According to Professor Derek Baker, Director of the Centre, the planned project pipeline will be key in bringing together years of expertise and experience from many different parts of the agribusiness industry.
"The Centre for Agribusiness will offer bold, creative and sustainable solutions to big questions of food industry performance, global food security and best management practice," Prof Baker said.
"By connecting people, research, industries, and government, the Centre will supply the tools and support to imagine, create, share and commercialise a broad range of ideas, steering agribusiness into a strong future
The UNE Business School also thanked the sponsors of UNE's IFAMA 2016 UNE student team for their generous support.
The team recently returned from Denmark where they participated in the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA) Student Case Study Competition.
"This level of international representation and collaboration for UNE in the agribusiness sector will set the tone for the focus of the newly-launched Centre for Agribusiness," Prof Sheridan said.
Further information can be found on the Centre for Agribusiness page,

A month after cameras caught Ashley Benson kissing Cara Delevingne multiple times at London's Heathrow Airport while they waited for a cab, the former Pretty Little Liars star seemingly confirmed their relationship on Instagram with just a one-word comment. But now, the comment has been deleted, and Benson says that someone hacked her Instagram account.
This all started when Delevingne posted two dramatic pics of herself on Instagram where she was wearing a short gold dress at the Toronto International Film Festival. On one of the pics, Benson commented "Mine." Then, she added, "I can see your ???." If you don't know what the sushi emoji stands for, it's not really appropriate for you to hear it from me.
Delevingne did say in an Instagram Story that she wasn't wearing underwear under her sheer-paneled Balmain dress and joked "So don't ask me to bend over and get anything for you."
The "mine" comment appeared to fans like a confirmation that Delevingne and Benson were an item, but just a few hours later, Benson shared an Instagram Story where she said, "When you just get off a flight with no Wi-Fi and find out your Instagram got hacked." She also added a middle finger emoji and thanked a friend for fixing the problem. She also deleted the "mine" comment.
According to Harper's Bazaar, neither Delevingne nor Benson has publicly addressed the rumors of their alleged romance, and it doesn't look like they are planning to say anything about it.
The two have been attending events together at the Toronto International Film Festival, and even though they have kept close, they haven't shown any more PDA. The former model turned actress is at the festival to promote her new film Her Smell. And, she and Benson attended a party earlier this week that was celebrating the movie.
They did not walk the red carpet together. However, cameras did catch them socializing with The Handmaid's Tale star Elisabeth Moss, director Alex Ross Perry, and Johnny Depp's ex Amber Heard.
The romance rumors started to swirl around Benson and Delevingne back in May when they were spotted leaving a Lauryn Hill concert together. Fans have also spotted them showing PDA, and they have made appearances on each other's Instagram accounts.
However, Cara Delevingne does like to flirt. Guests spotted her kissing a "mystery guy" at Kylie Jenner's 21st birthday party, and she also shared a smooch with Paris Jackson back in March.
Ashley Benson previously dated Justin Bieber's former stylist Ryan Good. They were on and off for several years before calling it quits in 2014.

Dear Parents/Carers
The announcement this afternoon by the Prime Minister, clearly contained some extremely significant updates. We will now have to wait for the details in order to develop an appropriate plan and will update you as soon as possible. We have been receiving these messages at the same time and in the same way as the rest of the nation so have not been able to plan or update in advance.
The Headlines are:
1. Schools will be closed from Monday for most students until further notice.
2. They will remain open for vulnerable children and those of key workers - definitions of each to be confirmed.
3. Exams will not happen in May / June - but no details as to what this will actually mean in practice.
4. Provision to be made for those in receipt of Free School Meals.
We remain partially open on Thursday to Years 11, 12 and 13 and will confirm plans for Friday during the day on Thursday. We will continue to update you as information from the government emerges and our plans develop. Information regarding our current status is on the school website: https://www.stratton.beds.sch.uk/ and will be update whenever there are changes.
Thank you all for your ongoing support and cooperation - it is much appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Roz Hodges

This work analyses the scope of copyright protection for computer software in the United Kingdom,and examines challenges for the future. The work presents the case for the adoption and application of infringement methodology emanating from the courts in the United States, resulting in a narrower scope of protection than is presently argued for by many UK academics, practitioners and judges alike. The work makes a careful evaluation of the efficacy of the various prevailing tests for infringement of copyright in software and their progenies, suggesting an improved formula and advocating the utility of limiting doctrines to assist in the determination of substantial similarity of particular non-literal software elements, user interfaces and screen display protection. The monograph also contains a detailed study of reverse engineering, copyright defences, permitted acts, database protection and the copyright-contract interface in the context of computer software, not omitting crucial discussions of the internet, digital dissemination and the impact of recent treaty and legislative initiatives on British copyright law. As such it will be an important resource for practitioners, lecturers and students alike.

"This is a well-written and highly useful book." – Jeremy Phillips, Slaughter and May, London,
European Intellectual Property Review
"…one of the most attractive features of this book is the lengthy (34-page) Appendix offering a simplified account of the technological detail. Dr Lai's book presents a well written, comprehensive and detailed exposition. There is no question that Dr Lai's book amounts to a definitive resource for intellectual property lawyers, academics and researchers both in the UK and elsewhere. Its usefulness is strengthened by the extensive footnoting which supplements the body text" – Anne Fitzgerald,

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has revealed he has reached an agreement for the sale of the Serie A club.
In addition to the sale, Berlusconi is reportedly confident the club's new owners will invest as much as €400 million in the side over the next two seasons, which the tycoon believes will restore Milan's pedigree.
Milan, who were a major force in Europe less than a decade ago, have fallen into a deep decline in recent seasons, finishing outside the top six log positions for the last three years in succession.
'I have sold AC Milan to a group that can relaunch them and bring them back to the top in Italy, Europe and the world,' Berlusconi told reporters, reports Goal.
'I demanded that they invest at least €400m for the market over the next two years. They are an important group, with an involvement of the Chinese state,' he added.
Milan were last crowned Champions of Europe in the 2006-07 season while the side last won the league in the 2010-11 season. Since the fall from grace of the Milan clubs, Juventus have surged to five Serie A titles in succession.

Adorable guinea pig photos
May 4, 2017 | Animals | No Comments|
Inspired by the personality of her guinea pig named Booboo, a photographer nicknamed Lieveheerbeestje, has taken snaps of Booboo and her friends. She decided to take still photos as Booboo and her other guinea pigs are very calm and sit steal when placed anywhere.
Guinea pigs are small pets and have no connection with the name. And they live on vegetables and love to spend days by eating, sleeping or sitting idly. Here is a series of their adorable photographs where you will find them wearing glasses or ribbons and also in many other stances including posing in a bathtub. via Website | Deviantart | via boredpanda

For too long further education has been stitched-up. Now we must do the stitching. And we can do it by realising the rhetoric of the "seamless robe", for too long a phrase and an inspiration. This means greater parity of esteem between further and higher education, reflected not in a uniformity of approach, but a genuine appreciation and valuing of difference between what we now call the two "sectors".
It is a recognition that what each of the partners brings to the table is distinctive. If as we hope, thanks to Ron Dearing's review, core skills become embedded in all qualifications up to level 3, including A levels, I hope we will decide to integrate transferable skills up to degree level.
This will not mean the introduction of an externally imposed GNVQ level 4, for which a case has yet to be made. But perhaps it will mean kite marking existing qualifications to demonstrate that successful graduates can bring not only academic knowledge but vocational expertise to the world of employment.
Recognising that 70 per cent of the population do not participate in higher education and that supervisory and technician skills are important to economic success, the Government should move to a more equitable method of financing education over the age of 19.
Yes, I would encourage those 18-year-olds with level 3 qualifications to take a gap year before the next step. And I would offer all students over the age of 19 an entitlement to three years' of tuition, paid for by either employers or the state.
This would apply to whatever level of study is undertaken in recognition of he importance of lifelong learning. It would help forge an equal partnership between colleges and universities; encourage market specialisation and afford students genuine incentives to learning. Go to it.
