Capristo has introduced a new tuning program for the Lamborghini Aventador.
Designed to have an "ideal power-to-weight ratio," the model has been equipped with a variety of carbon fiber components that aim to make the vehicle lighter while preserving the overall appearance of a standard model. As such, the Aventador features a carbon fiber rear wing, diffuser and mirror casings. There's also carbon fiber vents and carbon fiber engine compartment panels. Thanks to these changes, the car weighs approximately 40 kg (88 lbs) less than than stock.
The Aventador has also been equipped with a stainless steel sports exhaust system which enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, before topping out at 354 km/h (220 km/h) - improvements of 0.1 seconds and 3 km/h (2 mph).

Thierry Henry tipped for third run with Arsenal
Issued on: Modified:
French footballer Thierry Henry is set for a loan return to English Premier League team Arsenal, British media reported on Monday. Currently contracted to the New York Red Bulls, Henry could make his debut with his old team as early as January.
French World Cup winner Thierry Henry is set for another loan return to English Premier League giants Arsenal, the club where he remains an icon and all-time top scorer, Britain's press reported Monday.
The New York Red Bulls striker could make his debut in the Gunners' FA Cup clash against Swansea on January 6 with talks between the two clubs reportedly at an advanced stage.
It would be his third spell at Arsenal following a similar loan arrangement in January of this year.
Under-fire Gunners boss Arsene Wenger hopes to keep the 35-year-old forward until the end of the English season in May, but his parent club are keen to have him back by the start of the US season in March, according to the Daily Mail.

The biggest challenge for a restaurant located within a shopping centre – even one as new as Marina Square Wentworth Point - is creating a transportive environment that makes you forget where you are. Using a long dark corridor lined with plastic plants that's aimed at a feature wall with a large glowing yellow and electric blue neon logo, Hiew Thai, gives you a physical transition between shopping centre and restaurant.
As such, as you turn the corner into their dimly lit restaurant space, you have a sense of excitement. Exposed ceiling fixtures are darkened out of existence with your attention instead caught by dangling plastic plant baskets and floor to ceiling windows that let you look at the bright lights of Rhodes.
The industrial, street vibe is amped by polished concrete floors reflecting recessed bar lighting and interior neon like traffic lights bouncing back off wet asphalt.
There's a long narrow window that gives you a glimpse into a spotless, orderly kitchen, the light distracting from the darkened service cupboards that sit below it.
In short, Hiew Thai's lighting has been well designed.
There are even well-placed spotlights to illuminate what you're eating, and make menu reading a breeze in the moody environment.
And you do want to see what they're putting on the plate, because their plating – particularly on dishes like their chef's special Chilli Crab ($24) where a lake of dry curry is crowned with crispy soft shell crab and lashings of coconut cream – is likely a notch above your standard local.
The standard Gai Satay ($8/5) or chicken satay, is notched up by turmeric marinated chook and a credible satay sauce filled with crushed peanuts and balanced by a pretty nam jim arjard (lightly pickled cucumber relish).
I'm even more excited by the Jenga-like tower of Khao Pod Ping ($6.50). The cleverly quartered corn is blackened and spicy against a swirl of coconut cream at the base of the bowl. I'm stealing this idea for home.
Plaa Hoy ($12) gives you five lightly seared scallops under a good pinch of green herbs, red onion and green chilli yuzu nam jim that accentuates their delicate flavour well.
The Poached Chicken Coconut Salad ($14.50) is clean and simple, with lime, green apple and cashew nuts. It's well presented under colourful coconut shreds and made with snapping fresh ingredients, though it's a little light on chilli and flavour intensity for me.
As I love pineapple, I thought the signature Hiew Fried Rice ($22) with chicken, prawn, onions, tomato, cashew nuts and shrimp paste, was well worth the rice upgrade.
It suited our chosen main - their twice cooked Hiew Pork Ribs ($26) tossed in the wok with sweet curry paste and served with lime leaves and crisp Thai basil.
With offerings like Koh Yaaw ($15) – a Thai tea-based Long Island iced tea – the cocktail list holds thematic promise if you're not the designated driver like me. By the way, you get three hours of undercover parking at Marina Square Wentworth Point for free.

Prehistoric Irish Art History
Irish art history dates back to circa 3200 B.C. Some of the earliest stone carvings are from Ireland's Neolithic era, such as those on the megalithic tomb of Newgrange at Brú na Bóinne in County Meath. Later, the Bronze Age saw the expansion of metalworking on the island while the Beaker culture thrived during this era as well.
Celtic & Christian Art
Celtic art was not introduced to Ireland till circa 300 B.C. It flourished alongside the La Tene culture after the island started trading with Northern Europe and Britain. However, these contrasting, but often complementing La Tene styles, were lost under the Roman Empire.
Ireland started developing its own distinct Celtic designs, especially crosses, intricate patterns and spiral designs. These Celtic artworks are a distinct feature of Irish art history, with almost no influence of other prevalent variants during the time.
Ireland was not Christianized till around the fifth century. Monasteries served as primary scholarship centers which helped foster insular art. Illuminated manuscripts, decorative stonework, and Christian metalwork were all conceived during this era.
The Dark Ages of Irish Art
Then came a long period of nearly zero art production. For almost five hundred years till the end of the sixteenth century, Irish art history had no major transformation. This came at a time when Renaissance art swept much of Europe. But Ireland remained insulated from this wave.
Irish art reemerged in the latter half of the seventeenth century, but even then, promising artists on the island sought opportunities overseas. Many Irish artists became skilled in Landscape and portraiture, and this led to the inception of the Royal Dublin Society and Royal Irish Academy.
Because of limited patronage and lack of opportunities, Irish artists continued to work abroad. Irish artists who specialized in portraits often preferred London while landscape artists chose Paris.
Irish Art Revival
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the scene began to change and the Celtic Revival movement renewed the interest of artists and patrons alike. This was particularly evident with Belfast-born artist, Sir John Lavery. Despite working abroad, Lavery was still rooted in Ireland artistically. As well as Beatrice Elvery, Garrett Morphy, and Paul Henry.
Today, Ireland has a unique art culture of its own, rooted in both the past and the challenges of present-day social issues and politics in Ireland. The country's most recognized living artists include Brian O'Doherty, Sean Scully, and Dorothy Cross.
Locals and visitors alike can still revisit the art history of Ireland's past at the National Gallery of Ireland and the National Museum of Ireland while viewing the latest in Irish modern art the Irish Museum of Modern art and Kerlin Gallery.

Industry studies behind EU food safety assessments must be public, EU Parliament16 April 2019
by greenpeace -- last modified 17 April 2019
The European Parliament voted today to introduce new transparency rules for EU food safety assessments, as part of the EU's 'general food law'.
The amended law will oblige the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to publish the industry studies used in European safety evaluations of products that can end up in food – such as pesticides, GMOs and animal feed additives.
Greenpeace EU food policy director Franziska Achterberg said: "The chemical industry will still test the safety of their own products, but at least now the studies will be published so that independent scientists can scrutinise their contents and the advice EFSA gives to lawmakers. EFSA has in the past privileged corporate interests over the public's right to know, so we will be watching closely to see that the new rules are properly applied."
The European Commission proposal for this new law was a direct response to the #StopGlyphosate European Citizens' Initiative, through which more than a million citizens asked the Commission to ban glyphosate, reform the pesticide approval procedure and set mandatory reduction targets for pesticide use. They asked specifically that all studies used to back up regulatory approval of pesticides be published.
On 7 March, the European Court of Justice found that EFSA violated existing EU transparency laws by withholding extensive sections of industry studies on glyphosate.

"I was getting bored and frustrated with the process and Robyn was there to help me along the way. She has been such a tremendous help during my fitness/life style change journey. Her wealth of knowledge, compassion, generosity and continual motivation have had great impact on my journey. Sometimes what she tells me is not what I "want" to hear but "need" to hear and I appreciate having someone like her in my corner. I now have many tools when it comes to nutrition and do my best to implement them every day. In some meetings I've shared with her that I have fallen off track, but without any judgement Robyn gave me new ideas, a plan to execute and assurance that I could do it."
~ Mia
"When I first started my sessions with Robyn I had numerous goals and health issues I wanted to take care of. After struggling with IBS and gaining weight I needed help desperately. Robyn was so kind, helpful, and understanding. We worked on diet changes that would both help with my weight and my IBS. Robyn gave me detailed plans and helpful guides that I could follow and was always able to answer any of my questions. I was able to drop weight in a healthy way while incorporating diet change and exercise while also giving me so much relief from my IBS symptoms. I'm so glad I started my sessions with Robyn and I will continue to meet with her to maintain my goals!"
~ Mary
"Robyn is a wonderful motivator. Her eating and exercise tips make it easy to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle."
~ Gloria
"Robyn is very thought provoking and as she discusses; she really makes you think what's going on in your daily routine...What are you putting in your mouth? How about your sleep patterns? When was the last time you did something for yourself?
She understood my concerns and genuinely pointed out my boundaries and what I should and/or can explore. She is a whole health nutritionist and dietitian.
She has helped me on 2 very important items of health concerns and I have seen some marked improvements."
~ Elaine
"The grocery store tour with Robyn was great... We walked down the aisles and Robyn gave me helpful tips on how to navigate the store, incorporate healthier options into meals, taught me how to read food labels and what to look for, and pointed out healthier versions of products I regularly buy. I'm gradually making small changes in my diet, and paying more attention to what I throw in my shopping cart, thanks to Robyn!"
~ Anonymous
"I used to think I had a pretty good idea of how to eat "healthy" on my own, but I was uninspired by this image in my head and often found it easier, and tastier, to resort to take-out meals or processed foods from the grocery store. With Robyn's help I learned that healthy eating doesn't have to be boring or tedious, and I've even developed a new love for fresh fruits and veggies! My entire family has benefited from her suggestions of healthy snacks and yummy recipes. My 5 year old son who had been avoiding veggies for some time even asks for things like carrots, cauliflower, and berries on his own now that he's starting to appreciate the new way we're eating."
~ Shannon

On Friday(August 10th) Nicole Scherzinger attended the 2018 Unicef Summer Gala, presented by Luisaviaroma at Villa Violina in Porto Cervo, Italy.
Showing off her toned midriff, she wore a JESSICA CHOAY SPRING 2018 red ensemble which featured a draped, silk one-shoulder crop top and a floor gazing skirt with a crisscross ribbon split detail.
It is warm in Italy so Nicole's sultry look worked her attendance. However padding was needed under the crop top for a better shape but her look still works in general. She dressed up her look with diamond jewelry and silver metallic sandals which topped off her look along with side parted waves & smokey eyes.

Old people will one day discuss their latest frags
There's a fairly intriguing "food for thought" article over on Aeropause right now that looks at the prospect of pensioner gaming. It's surprisingly something I've never really thought about before, and now that I've sat down and done so it's quite a surreal mental image. I mean, what do you think of when you let oldies fill your head? Chances are it's not of people talking about the latest video games, laughing out loud while gathered around a game of Mario Kart as one bloke wrecks another with a blue shell, and sitting in a circle playing wireless multiplayer on their handhelds. But that could be exactly what we're all destined to become.
I mean, look at the picture of the bloke above that I've stolen from the article. What would you imagine that guy doing throughout his day? Sitting on his armchair reading the paper and watching some TV classics, perhaps going down to the shop for some milk and bread? But imagine him instead walking up to you and going on about how he spandoozled some 14-year-old newbie in Team Fortess 7 last night, then proceed to discussing the upcoming Unreal Engine 9.
Yes folks, this is our future. And personally, I'm quite looking forward to having retirement dosh to spend on gaming and filling my days with fun rather than rotting away in some manky room sleeping throughout the day due to sheer boredom, hoping my family will give me the gift of half an hour of conversation every week or so. Plus we'll all get to wave our old gamer status in the faces of the new blood — finally we can act like war veterans!

Every now and then, someone will express surprise to me that I have this person or that person as an online friend, despite them spouting unpopular views or having strong opinions I don't agree with, or even doing shitty things like posting spoilers on purpose. But people who know me well know that I enjoy dialoging about tough topics–especially among those with whom I disagree. I don't want my life to be an echo chamber of shit I already agree with. Plus, I don't know everything, and people I don't agree with are more likely to know shit that I don't know. Though they might still be bugfuck wrong. 😉
Today I saw a post referencing Jessica Jones on Netflix. Someone else was basically saying that because in the first episode, there was a single joke they didn't like (a joke that was insensitive to, and at the expense of, fat people), they "had no interest in" the rest of the series. Now obviously, people can choose to watch whatever the hell they want. But I found it curious that this post came from a person who, every day, argues that people need to seek out information that conflicts with what they've been taught, and that they need to be more respectful of alternate/new viewpoints. I really can see both sides of this.
On the one hand, we can all choose only to expose ourselves to people, things, ideas, and speech that is to our liking. For most people, watching TV is a leisure time activity and is supposed to be fun. Personally, I like my viewing material to be more challenging, so I often seek out things that will make me think, feel discomfort, ponder and debate, or get really, really scared as I wonder what I'd do if what was happening to the characters was happening to me. But that's me.
On the other hand, I think it's myopic and incredibly limiting to say "I don't like something this character said, so I'm not going to expose myself to any of this material." In this case, that means missing out on the entirety of Jessica Jones, which would be a bummer for anyone who appreciates complex characters, or in-depth discussion of issues like responsibility, trauma, control, and consent. Plus, it's an awesome cast in a well-plotted show that everyone can get something out of–you know, unless they bail after Ep1.
When I say, "It's only a show," I'm not saying that what happens in fiction doesn't matter because it's just pretend. But I *am* saying that fictional characters shouldn't have the same impact as real-life people doing and saying real-life things. If they do, you might need to step back.
The characters in the TV aren't your friends. The rules of interpersonal communication do not apply. Watching a program doesn't make you complicit in the actions of the fictional characters–not even the protagonists. The Godfather is one of the greatest films ever made. Yet most of us don't leave the theatre wishing we had Luca Brasi's job. It's possible to laugh at Three's Company (for lack of a better example) without actually thinking homophobia is hilarious or that gay people deserve to be mocked or belittled.
Surely we're not all so fragile that we have to scurry away from any speech we don't like, or pretend that everyone who appears in fictional media has to conform to our personal standards of morality or interpersonal communication– or we just can't bear to look? Or is it a question of feeling "disrespected" by jokes? It might bear keeping in mind that TV shows and movies aren't made with any 1 audience member in mind. If it was, we'd probably know that before tuning in. Why is it so easy for some of us to be offended by people who literally don't know we exist?
It's possible that I'm assigning emotions or motivations incorrectly to behaviors I don't like. It might be that I loathe the superior air with which people say "I don't watch THAT" as if not watching something is analogous to actually doing something that helps oppressed people. Maybe it's the idea that you really can't have dramatic conflict in a world where no one has a problem with women, or men, or rich people, or poor people, or racial minorities, or religious minorities, or fat people, trans people, gay people, people with disabilities, people with mental illness, or takes issue with how people dress, how they dance, who they date, where they come from, or whether or not they can grammar.
EVERYONE sees the world through their own filters. EVERYONE judges other people for reasons seen and unseen. If you think you don't, sorry–but you're a filthy liar.
The more types of people we expose ourselves to, the more we learn about our fellow humans. Obviously, there are valid reasons not to befriend a mafioso, or a gaggle of methheads, or a pray-the-gay-away commune in real-life. But in media? One of the best steps we can take toward understanding each other is to expose ourselves to as much varied media as we can–and do our best to understand what we see viscerally–not just turning our backs on new material one rough comment in. We can do better than that. And for most of us, our lives are comfortable enough that we can safely expose ourselves to a whole helluva lot via the media at our disposal without collapsing into a quivering puddle of sobs.
So kids, watch what you like–or don't watch. But if I may personify Television for a moment: I promise that the mean old TV-box isn't going to hurt you unless you let it. It's just a box. I promise. And if you let fear and potential discomfort keep you from exploring all the box has to offer, the least you can do is not blame it on the box.Tags: america, irks, lj, scribing, tv

Work Overview
…of magic and realism pays homage to the literary genre commonly referred to as "magical realism", an approach to literature that has found ubiquitous appeal throughout Latin America. One of the key facets of such authors as Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez is their uncanny adroitness to fashion minute and even seemingly trivial detail, so the reader becomes hyper aware of a most convincing physical or emotional reality. This condition, however, may be obtrusively intercepted by supernatural threads, thus drawing into question how quotidian life would respond to magical intervention. This piece for recorder and marimba is suggestive of such detailed perception that is embodied in the intricacies of repeated rhythmic events wrought within the twofold (and at times, threefold) layer of texture that conflict to create picayune moments of tension, and their subsequent denouement. There are moments that offer a modicum of lyrical respite, which to me can suggest a degree of subjectivism or of the magic itself; perhaps these are born of the same fabric…

World largest sea bridge Opens in China
Chinese President Xi Jinping has officially opened the world's longest sea crossing bridge, nine years after construction first began.
China will open a sprawling six-lane mega-bridge connecting the mainland city of Zhuhai to Hong Kong and Macau with over 34 miles of elevated roadway.
Including its access roads, the bridge spans 55km (34 miles) and connects Hong Kong to Macau and the mainland Chinese city of Zhuhai. Made from enough steel to build 60 Eiffel Towers and enough concrete to construct 22 Chrysler Buildings, it can withstand Magnitude-8 earthquakes, and is even prepared for super typhoons. This is something built to last a century of service.
The bridge was built on one of the world's busiest sea routes, where more than 4000 vessels and 1800 flights travel back and forth daily, carrying annually more than 20 million people and 1.2 billion tons of goods. The area is also known for strong typhoons each year and rare marine species including Chinese white dolphins.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, interacted with IT and electronic manufacturing professionals across India. The prime minister also launched the 'Main Nahin Hum' portal and mobile application.
The self4society.mygov.in' — named as 'Main Nahi Hum' – portal will act as a platform for companies to contribute their technology, skills and HR resources towards various social causes, including financial literacy, financial inclusion, small business enablement, and Swachh Bharat. Modi said volunteering efforts by the tech companies could bring about transformation in various sectors, including agriculture. He called on youngsters to venture out and work for the welfare of farmers.
During the event in the national capital, IT companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra and Mindtree showcased the social transformation efforts they have undertaken and pledged to support the newly launched 'self4society' initiative.
The portal is expected to help catalyse greater collaboration towards the service of the weaker sections of society, especially by leveraging the benefits of technology. It is also expected to generate wider participation of interested people who are motivated to work for the benefit of society.

The Ultimate Dental Implant Solutions in Mansfield, TX
If you are looking for a solution to replace a missing tooth or group of teeth, dental implants are the most effective method available. Compared to dentures & bridges, dental implants provide greater protection to your bone & surrounding teeth. Dental implants also offer improved stability & a more comfortable feel, so that you can eat & talk just as you did before. Though all of the restorations we use are high quality & realistic, clients say that implants feel the most like real teeth.
At Creekside Family Dental, we specialize in dental implants, & with their help, we can give you a wonderful new smile. We are able to do all types of implant cases including: All-on-4, All-on-6, implant-retained dentures & implant-supported dentures. We can even immediately place an implant after extracting a tooth. This means that you can walk out of our office with your new smile after just one visit.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are surgical components that are attached to your bone as a way to replace the root of a tooth, & they naturally fuse with your bone over time. Essentially, they are titanium rods or screws that are inserted into your bone, & their titanium composition allows them to interact naturally & fuse with the bone like a real tooth would. We call this process osseointegration. Because they are attached to your bone in the same way as the original tooth's root, they help keep your bone & surrounding teeth in place & prevent deterioration or slippage.
What many people don't realize is that your jaw bone must be constantly stimulated every day to preserve bone health & density. With natural teeth, the act of eating is more than enough stimulation, but if you are wearing dentures, you won't be stimulating your bone, & that leads to gradual deterioration & receding of your jaw. Implants work just like natural teeth & will provide healthy stimulation.
On top of the implant, you can attach fixed or removable false teeth. These teeth will be durable & naturally-colored to match your other teeth & will be molded so that they aid in chewing the way a natural tooth would.
If you choose to use dentures, you can attach structures to your implants that will securely hold your dentures in place. We call this an implant-supported or implant-retained denture. Compared to dentures that aren't supported by dental implants, these dentures will be more secure, allowing you to eat more naturally. They will also preserve the health of your bone because the implants will stimulate your jaw.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
- Preserve placement of bone & teeth
- More natural & comfortable chewing & talking
- Will not require reducing other teeth (as with bridges)
- High quality & realistic appearance
- Improved comfort & feel of real teeth
- Extremely durable
- Can accommodate permanent crowns, permanent bridges & removable dentures
Our team at Creekside Family Dental has years of experience placing dental implants for many clients in Mansfield, TX. If you are interested in dental implants, please contact us & schedule an appointment today. All you need to do is call 817-473-9501 or use our convenient online form to set up your first appointment!

Washington, D.C.—At just past noon on Wednesday, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the Bring Them Home Now tour were stopped by a pair of squad cars two blocks from the U.S. Capitol by members of the Capitol police force. Officers explained that they wanted to use bomb-sniffing dogs to inspect the caravan of three RVs and several cars.
The officers said it was standard practice to inspect large vehicles in the area. "RVs aren't allowed on Capitol Hill," one said. "That's standard procedure. Any trucks that come on Capitol Hill are stopped and turned around." Campers aren't allowed at all, the officer said, "unless they've been previously authorized."
Officers told the peace activists they couldn't park at the Capitol because they don't have the proper permits. Sheehan and company then began preparing to make the rest of the trek on foot. Awaiting them near the Capitol steps were a crowd of television cameras for a scheduled noon press conference.
Earlier this week in New York City's Union Square park, police officers unplugged Sheehan's microphone, saying she didn't have a proper permit for that either.
People with Bring Them Home Now seemed unfazed. "It's always something," said Stacy Bannerman of Military Families Speak Out, whose husband spent a year fighting in the Sunni Triangle. "It's just part of the deal.
The conference is being held by Sheehan and the others to announce their arrival in Washington and to kick off a weekend of resistance that is expected to include a march of 100,000 people and mass civil disobedience.
At 1:30 p.m., Sheehan and her allies plan to head to the White House, where they'll attempt to give President Bush a letter asking him to answer the question, "What noble cause are our loved ones dying for?"

The SAN FRANCISCO and the MIAMI will both be gunning for a victory on 5/28/2019 at 7:10 PM when they meet in a game matchup.
SAN FRANCISCO vs MIAMI
GAME: San Francisco Giants (21-31) at Miami Marlins (17-34)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, May 28 – 7:10 PM EST
WHERE: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida
|7.5 (-105)
|8 (-110)
TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Arena (San Francisco), FS Florida (Miami)
PREDICTION: Marlins 3, Giants 2
Oddsmakers currently have the MIAMI listed as 105 point favorites versus the SAN FRANCISCO, while the game's total is sitting at 7.5.
The San Francisco Giants are trading in the Bay Area for the East Coast at an opportune time, as the club has lost five in a row to drop a season-worst 10 games under .500. The Giants hope the change of scenery alters their fortunes on Tuesday when they begin an 11-day, nine-game swing with the opener of a three-game series versus the Miami Marlins.
"We've got to huddle up here," manager Bruce Bochy said on the heels of Sunday's 6-2 setback to Arizona. "(Monday's day off) will give them a chance to wash this one off. This road trip I'm hoping brings them together and gets us back to playing the kind of ball we need to play." Mike Yastrzemski, the 28-year-old grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, collected the first three hits of his career while playing in his second game since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. Miami thwarted Washington's bid for a four-game sweep on Sunday, with Neil Walker highlighting his three-hit performance with an RBI single. Harold Ramirez also drove in a run and has reached base safely in 11 of 12 contests since making his major league debut on May 11.
|Tony's Pick
PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Jeff Samardzija (2-3, 3.27 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Trevor Richards (1-5, 4.14)
Samardzija lost his second straight start after allowing six runs (none earned) on four hits in six innings of a 9-2 setback to Atlanta on Wednesday. The 34-year-old was taken deep on two occasions by the Braves and has surrendered seven homers in his last four games. Samardzija owns a 5-2 mark with a 3.62 ERA in 18 career appearances (nine starts) against the Marlins, with Walker (6-for-34, 10 strikeouts) and Martin Prado (2-for-23, five strikeouts) struggling mightily versus him.
Richards answered his first win of the season with a strong showing on Thursday, yielding one run in 5 2/3 innings before exiting with a no-decision at Detroit. The 26-year-old kept the ball in the park and issued just one walk versus the Tigers after surrendering two homers in four of the previous five outings and granting multiple free passes in each of his other nine starts this season. Richards recorded the win in his lone career start against San Francisco, allowing one run on two hits in six innings of a 3-1 victory on June 12, 2018.
1. Miami F Garrett Cooper has seven hits — including two homers — with five RBIs and six runs scored in his last six games.
2. San Francisco 3B Evan Longoria is batting .310 on the road, as opposed to .157 at home.
3. Marlins C Jorge Alfaro has five hits with one homer, three RBIs and two runs scored in his last four games.
PREDICTION: Marlins 3, Giants 2

Not every ride is about trophies and personal records. Sometimes you need to take it easy on your way to the top so you can play harder on the way back down. Learn the fine craft of beard pacing your ride, and join this face follicle revolution.
Iam not training to be a xc racer, a cyclocross masher, an endurance machine or a shaved smooth roadie looking to trim seconds in every conceivable way possible. I mean really, what is the purpose of eyebrows anyways, more like mini forehead parachutes. In reality I am the opposite and not training for anything. So to match up with my somewhat lazy grooming practices, weird attraction to logging, and a delayed ability to jump on to growing trends, I am currently sporting a somewhat substantial beard.
My goal on any ride is to get to the top, not to be the first or the last, just get up there with enough energy to go as fast downhill as my bug strainer will allow.
I am not usually the fastest rider in my group and somehow having a beard makes that more acceptable. Nobody expects the guy with a chin sweater to be leading the charge up the mountain unless there is a banjo festival or an old prospectors' reunion at the top. Keep in mind this only counts for full beards. Handlebar mustaches don't count. Case in point Mark Weir, that guy is crazy fast for someone who looks like they should be driving an 18 wheeler. Those things are aerodynamic and obviously built for speed.
My goal on any ride is to get to the top, not to be the first or the last, just get up there with enough energy to go as fast downhill as my bug strainer will allow. This is where the term and mentality of "Beard Pace" was born.
99% of us are not going to get a KOM (I know you're reading this Aaron Gwin so I left that 1% for you) so why pretend we are close by pushing ourselves to the point of nausea just to keep up with Gary! C'mon Gary, this is midweek fun ride, no need for the full spandex race kit! I realize healthy competition is a big part of mountain biking and deep down I admit to enjoying that part on occasion. I just want to provide you with an easy out, a visible, dignified badge of honor that allows you to be in the back of the pack on the climb with pride. If you are sporting an epic neck canopy or sparrow sanctuary, nobody is going to ask you if you're feeling off that day. No one is going to question if you have lost a crank or two. They know you're there for the experience.
Beard Pace is a state of mind. You don't necessarily need a face field or a soup strainer to embrace the mentality of Beard Pace. Just ride at your own pace to enjoy the trail… some good face foliage just makes it more obvious you're in this for a good time.

Let's face it, if you know me, or even if you don't, you should understand that I have a lot of problems. Don't take that the wrong way--I'm not institutionalized or anything. I guess I'm human. A particularly flawed human.
I could devote an entire blog to listing them, which isn't a bad idea (remember that, haters, I expect you to keep on top of things!). The major problem that I'm going to talk about in this post, however, is simple. I automatically assume that all hot guys are connected.
It sounds silly, doesn't it? Reading it there, you probably don't get it. I doubt I would. Allow me to explain. Whenever I see multiple hot guys at one time, right away I think that they must know each other. Waiting for the bus a few days ago, I saw two guys that fit this category of good-looking-ness. One was crossing the street, and the other was walking down the street with his little brother. Right away, I thought they knew each other, and must be friends. Wow, I'm scary.
I don't even know why I decided to blog about this, but I figured you had a right to know. I'm watching a Michael Jackson tribute on TV. I guess you could call him good looking, if you wanted, in his own way :P

El Sombrero Family Mexican Restaurant
We've been to this place several times on Beat Walk nights, where they've featured some fun bands. They have yummy, fresh Mexican food here, good drinks and very Mexican atmosphere and decor. This was also a very nice Cinco de Mayo location.
Lottie Motts Coffee Shop
This place is a cute little hole in the wall that serves good coffee, has some nice appetizers, and also serves drinks. I miss having them on the Beat Walk route, which is a music night once a month. They always had some of the best bands.
Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzera Columbia City
This is some of the best pizza in Seattle. It's got a thin crust that is delicately fired, with bits of charred spots on it, delicate tomatoe sauce, fresh ingredients. I love their Quatro Stagione pizza. For dessert, their gelato is great and their espresso drinks are dark and rich.
La Medusa
I love this place. It's got the sweet ambience I like and delicious, fresh, creative italian food. Sometimes, creativity can bring some mixed reviews -- my boyfriend got a pizza that had eggs and anchovies on the top. I thought it was tasty, but it was a bit strange to see and think of. I have loved all my food, however. No complaints. Delicious pastas, heirloom tomatoes with mozzarella and delicious olive oil. Definitely special.
Verve Wine Bar
We discovered this place during Beat Walk one night, and found it off the "beaten" path, kind of in an alley way. It's got a nice atmosphere, with a wine bar and tables if you want to sit for a while. We heard a nice guitar trio called "Lost Pedro" there, which was also very nice.
Soil Artist Co-Op
This place is one of the mind-bender type of art places. Some of the art I find whimsical, funny, out of the box, challenging. Some, I just don't get nor appreciate (like the artificial turf on the floor with the elementary are painted on the ceiling).
G. Gibson Gallery
We've been to this gallery several times on Gallery Walk nights. One of the striking ones I remember was one that was beautiful animal paintings kind of playing with "what ifs" in evolution, or possibly genetic mix-ups due to polution, like a bird with a tail, or little mice and bunnies with antlers, or birds with many heads or legs. Beautiful, but thoughtful and eery at the same time.
Pratt Gallery
This place has very creative, beautiful works by all kinds of students and in all kinds of mediums. It's a pleasure to see the experimentation going on in these pieces.
Most of the paintings here are of 1940's, 1950's movie stars, or paintings like them. They are painted very softly in watercolor or pastels. Beautiful soft effects.
Punch Gallery
This place hosts artists that are vibrant, whimsical, philosophical. Natural bird paintings of birds with shadows, sculptures of non-descript objects with unusual textures and colors. Lots to stimulate and experience.

Build UK Welcomes Three New Clients as Growth Continues
Sport England, Lipton Rogers Developments and Quintain have become the latest clients to join Build UK to address long standing industry issues and lead positive change.
Announcing its first six client partnerships in as many weeks, Build UK is fast becoming the must join organisation for forward thinking construction firms. Sport England, Lipton Rogers Developments and Quintain have chosen to join Almacantar, Argent and Great Portland Estates plc to achieve tangible results across the industry.
Build UK's expanding industry reach continues to ensure that all areas of the construction supply chain sit around the same table to agree and implement solutions to the industry's challenges.
Sport England invests Government and National Lottery funding in organisations and projects that help people be more physically active, including building community sport and leisure facilities. Charles Johnston, Sport England's Property Director, said: "As a significant funder of construction projects, it's vital that we have certainty from our contractors. That's why we're engaging with the industry through Build UK. We want to build relationships so that we can get the very best outcomes for people when they play and enjoy sport."
Lipton Rogers Developments is a real estate development business focused on major projects in and around Central London. Peter Rogers CBE, Co-founder of Lipton Rogers Developments said: "Build UK's enthusiasm and drive to change the industry is infectious and I believe that they are the organisation with the ability to generate real and necessary change in the industry."
Quintain is a London-focused development and investment company delivering Wembley Park, one of the most exciting regeneration schemes in Europe. Executive Director of Construction Matt Voyce said: "When undertaking a project as significant as Wembley Park, it is essential to be engaged with key industry issues. Working with Build UK will provide us with valuable insight into construction markets and also allow us to lead by example in continuing to improve practices."
Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol MBE said: "Our second year is off to a flying start with the announcement of our first six client partnerships, the launch of Open Doors 2017 and our facilitation of the Skills Hack at the Construction News Summit. Build UK broke new ground when we brought the contracting supply chain together; today we are changing the face of the industry by bringing Clients, Main Contractors and Specialist Contractors around the table for the first time as we continue to pioneer change."

Let's have a look at the performance of Adidas BYW X today.
Firstly, we want to talk the wear-resisting property. The outsole rubber is not wear-resisting. You can see the picture of the outsole that we take after playing basketball. If you want to wear it for playing basketball, please consider the abrasive resistance clearly, it's not suitable for actual combat. The abrasive resistance of heelpiece is bad.
For the outsole, the forefoot and heelpiece boost of BYW is separated. But the outsole of BYW X is surrounded, this design is to prevent the shoes to be rolled over due to the soft Boost and keep the stability.
We have a doubt about this sneaker during testing, that is, on basis of the structure of casual shoes, will it achieve a high level of actual combat performance by making the addition or some changes for basketball?
The outsole of BYW X is totally different with previous Boost basketball shoes. There is few constraint between foot and outsole. So, you can move flexible. Comparing with Pro Vision with traditional outsole, the outsole design of BYW X is more flexible. Comparing with Kyrie 5 (the great flexible basketball shoes), BYW X is steadier. One the flexibility and stability of forefoot, BYW X make it on a balance point. It's rare on recent Adidas basketball shoes series.
Generally, the improvement of forefoot is great. Adidas changes the shape of Boost. The previous Boost basketball shoes is only with a complete Boost, that's all.
Next, let's talk about Boost.
The volume of BYW X's forefoot Boost is reduced comparing with BYW. This change is for better feedback and start of forefoot.
The cushion performance of heelpiece is great. We have weared many pairs of Boost basketball shoes. The feedback of Boost is always great. And the Boost of BYW X should be one of the best Adidas Boost.
The open type Boost on heelpiece is thick and big. It's very soft. It's the softest pair of recent Adidas Boost basketball shoes. It's even softer than Harden 2 which also uses big area of Boost. As a result of the super soft feeling, there must be a greater deformation of the insole material of heelpiece.
The insole support pate of BYW X is thicker and upgraded. But it has a negative effect when actual combat. As we mentioned before, the boost of forefoot and heelpiece of separated type. It adds a piece of reinforced TPU as the bridge of forefoot and heelpiece. When moving, the front boost is immovable and the rear boost is constantly deforming, and the middle part is supported by a piece of TPU. But after a while, the middle of your foot will feel ache.
Vamp Material:
It's said that the vamp uses PK material as CE17. But we feel that it's normal knitted vamp. And the vamp is softer than CE. It has reinforced processing on every area of CE vamp to increase the wrapping performance. Although it has reinforced processing on some area of BYW X vamp, but the whole vamp is still too incompact. The support is not enough due to the soft vamp.
For the answer of our doubt in the beginning, on basis of the structure of casual shoes, will it achieve a high level of actual combat performance by making the addition or some changes for basketball? My personal opinion, the answer is no.
We don't suggest to buy it for playing basketball by considering the outsole and bad wrapping performance. It should be more suitable to be a pair of fashion casual shoes.

Indo-US civilian nuclear accord is being increasingly disliked by different leftist parties in India including CPM. China and Pakistan, the two neighbouring countries have also objected to the treaty. Hence some people are saying that the leftists in India are looking for the interests of China and Pakistan.
Prakash Karat the general secretary of the CPM has strongly objected against these assumptions. He said that the Indo-US Nuclear deal will have long-term consequences. He thinks that the government should pause and not take further steps on N-policy.

How to afford the SDGs
Oct 21,2019 - Last updated at Oct 21,2019
PARIS — In September 2015, world leaders committed to achieving 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Back then, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimated that attaining the SDGs would require about $2.5 trillion per year of additional investment in developing countries alone. A recent International Monetary Fund study produced a similar estimate of the extra annual spending needed between now and 2030: Some $500 billion in low-income countries and $2.1 trillion in emerging-market economies.
Is this a lot or a little? Can the world really afford to deliver on its commitment to meet the SDGs?
If developing economies have to find all this money themselves, these amounts are very large, especially for low-income countries, where the investment gaps are equivalent to about 15 per cent of GDP on average. Even for emerging-market economies, where the gaps represent about 4 per cent of GDP, this is a substantial sum.
Development aid from rich countries will not fill much of the gap. According to the OECD, total official development assistance (ODA) is about $150 billion per year, an order of magnitude smaller than the estimated SDG investment gap. Even if all advanced economies fulfilled their obligation to direct 0.7 per cent of their Gross National Income toward ODA (currently, only five of them do), this would yield only $360 billion per year.
This does not mean that the world is doomed to miss the SDG targets; but it does need to find other sources of investment. The obvious place to look is the private sector. According to UNCTAD's latest World Investment Report, capital flows to developing and transition countries dwarf ODA. In 2018, foreign direct investment in these economies totaled about $800 billion, portfolio and other investments a further $700 billion, and remittances $530 billion.
But probably only a small proportion of these flows is directed toward achieving the SDGs. Despite much excitement about the growth of impact investment, it has yet to achieve meaningful scale. The Global Impact Investment Network estimates that impact investors currently manage only about $500 billion in assets, or just 0.6 per cent of the global total. These numbers are especially disappointing given the low interest rates in many rich countries and the expected rapid future growth in pension assets as populations continue to age.
It is possible, of course, that impact investing, and, more generally, investment aimed at achieving the SDGs, brings major benefits to society but does not provide adequate risk-adjusted returns to investors. But the track record of two large institutions suggests otherwise. Both the International Finance Corporation (IFC, a member of the World Bank Group) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD, a standalone multilateral development bank) co-invest with the private sector on market terms, pursue development and transition impact and still turn a substantial profit. The IFC and EBRD combined invest about $30 billion per year of their own and mobilised capital, so they clearly cannot bridge the SDG investment gap by themselves. But they do prove the feasibility, in fact, the undoubted success, of their investment strategy.
At the same time, however, the IFC and EBRD differ from private-sector investors in three key respects, highlighting the main challenges facing private SDG-linked investment. First, the two institutions have the skills and global experience to design projects that promote sustainable development while also being profitable. Second, their scale and reputation help to persuade recipient countries to remove barriers to profitable investment in sustainable development, such as phasing out energy subsidies and removing obstacles to gender-equal access to labour markets. Finally, the IFC and EBRD enjoy "privileged creditor" status, and thus face much lower expropriation risks than private investors.
Interestingly, these considerations resonate strongly with the main themes emphasised in the recent G20 Eminent Persons Group report on "Making the Global Financial System Work for All". In it, the Group calls for global development to be refocused on helping countries "strengthen governance capacity and human capital, as the foundation for an attractive investment climate, job creation and social stability".
Better governance will give private-sector investors the same level of property-rights protection as the IFC or EBRD, while stronger human capital will enable recipient countries to prepare projects themselves, without relying on multilateral investors or their consultants. And countries with good governance and the right skills will be both willing and able to implement a pro-development reform agenda.
Improving governance and human capital is difficult and takes time. But progress in both areas is essential to unlocking the private investment the world needs to achieve the SDGs.

Article By:
CLEBURNE, Texas – The Cleburne Railroaders have announced that pitching coach Ed 'Smoke' Pruitt will return to the club's coaching staff in 2018.
Pruitt returns for his second season with the Railroaders after leading the staff to a 3.96 team ERA – the fourth-best mark in the American Association – in the club's inaugural season last year.
"I'm looking forward to coming back in 2018," Pruitt said. "There will be a few changes this year, but it should be a more solid and competitive staff than what we had last year."
The Railroaders were 17-7 in one-run games last year thanks largely to a stout bullpen that featured Cortland Cox – now in the Los Angeles Angels minor league system – and veteran reliever Winston Abreu, who led the league with 25 saves a year ago.
Cleburne's rotation showcased American Association all-star Patrick Mincey – playing for his sixth club in the league – who finished 10-8 with a 3.33 ERA over 135.0 innings in his first year as a full-time starter.
Pruitt pitched in parts of six seasons with the New York Mets organization after he was drafted in the 19th round of the 1982 MLB Draft. He reached Double-A Jackson in three separate seasons and his best came in 1985, when he posted a 2.12 ERA over 52 appearances with Jackson.
"For the time that I played for the Mets organization, I was tutored some great coaches such as Glenn Abbott, John Cumberland, Sam Perlozzo and Mike Cubbage," Pruitt said. "That allows me to work with the pitchers in today's market and teach them the old school way of pitching."
The Railroaders open their second season with a three-game series against the two-time defending champion Winnipeg Goldeyes May 18 at The Depot. Season, half-season and 10-game flex tickets are on sale now, and single-game tickets will go on sale April 1.
