Be A Better Football Player
Sports provide an outlet where we can channel our positive growth. Every day, we are faced with challenges and being an athlete plays no exception. In fact, they are even provided with opportunities that could help them maximize their full potential not just physically but mentally as well.
If you want to become good at what you are doing, take some time to ponder on these tips to become a better football player of your generation.
Study and Learn the Rules of the Sport
It is important to brush up on the rules of the game because knowing the rules is knowing all the rules of the game. Many professional NFL players are still unaware of some rules of the game. This is not just downright embarrassing but you're putting your team at risk. Take a refresher course or at least research.
Workout: Day in and day out
Have a solid plan and record your entire workout details. Using this technique can help you track your progress. There is a sense of accomplishment and the physical results are noticeable every time you are well-conditioned to play the game. Make sure to focus on your strength and mass. Remember that you can't reach your goal if you don't have a solid plan to get there.
10,000-Hour Rule
According to Malcolm Gladwell, practicing a specific task for a total of 10,000 hours is the key to success in any given field. Put ample dedication to developing your skill. Now is not the right time to give up.
Show up during team practice. Always start early and encourage your teammates to do the same thing. You can even continue after practice hours other skills like catching, blocking, passing, and covering with other fellow teammates.
Modify Your Diet
Watch what you eat because athletes have a required meal plan. Since protein is an important factor for muscle growth, make sure to take ample amounts as required by your dietician. It is even more effective if you can calculate your daily dietary intake but you can always call for a nutritionist for accuracy.
Get Enough Sleep
With long hours of practice and physical exertion, you need your muscles to heal and this usually takes place while you sleep. Keep a regular sleeping pattern to recover and regain your energy.
Work hard to get yourself in shape. You can even workout at home, be careful so you don't slip on the new flooring though. Be an example to your teammates and show your coach that he didn't make a wrong decision in choosing you as a part of the team. Specialize in your position and be the best quarterback, defensive back, receiver, running back, linebacker, or lineman you can be!

Prom fashion: how to choose prom tiara and headband
Are you high school students who are preparing for the prom? Whether you have long hair or short hair, you can always wear some sparkling hair accessories to highlight your prom look. Here are some of my ideas on choosing prom tiara and headband.
How to choose prom tiara?
I believe many women dreamed to be princesses and wear luxury tiaras when they were little girls. You will have the chance to feel like a real princess and wear tiara on your prom. Tiaras are really popular hair accessories for many girls. Before you choose your tiara for your prom, you should think about your prom dress style. Do you want a traditional tiara or a more contemporary tiara?
Different people have different face shapes, you should choose a tiara that suits your face shape. If you have oval face, you are so lucky! You can wear most tiara styles. For girls who have round face, a tiara that has a bit of height or has a peak should be perfect. For long faced girls, tiaras have little height and extend evenly across the head are ideal. Go for a V-shaped peak, if you have a heart-shaped face.
Bear in mind that the tiara you choose should be consistent with your dress styles. In short, if the dress that you will be wearing is adorned with crystal beading, then it would be ideal to choose a crystal tiara. If the dress is beaded with pearls, then a pearl tiara would be the best style to match the dress as well. View luxury beaded prom dresses here.
How to choose prom headband?
Many girls choose to finish their prom hairstyle with a tiara. If you think it's a little too much sparkle for you, you may consider a prom headband. Don't have any idea for the headband? Why not have a look at the red carpet styles of female stars. I've seen so many headpieces that I adore on the red carpet. Keep in mind that if you choose to wear a headband, you'd better keep your earrings simple.
If you just want to pull your hair out of your face, you can opt for thin headbands in black, brown, dark blue and gray. You may head for a larger, fuller headband if you wish to cover roots or control frizz. Narrow headbands will be completely compatible with any length of hair and for any apparel options. If you want a romantic and glamorous look, you can choose headbands that have some additional accessories or details like flowers or brooches.
The most difficult thing for people to wear headband is to keep its position on the forehead. You must take the height of the forehead into account when picking a headband. For those having a low forehead it is recommended to wear the headband along the line of the hair. It will help them make the forehead visually higher. For the rest, central positions are recommended.

Guides on choosing bridal headpiece
Bridal headbands or headpiece can add some sparkle to a wedding ensemble. I believe many brides wish to be true princesses on their special day. Apart from a stunning wedding dress, you also need some accessories to make you look like a true princess. Do you want a luxury wedding veil or a glittering eye-catching tiara? Here are some great ideas on choosing bridal headpiece.
Veil, or not? That's the big question for 2015 brides! Wedding headpieces are the new rage for the modern bride. There is a plethora of options to wear on your wedding day, not just the traditional bridal veil any longer. Lots of modern brides opt to wear a veil for the ceremony and then swap the veil out for a pretty hair accessory for the reception. The 2015 bridal runways showed anything from intricate jewel design pieces to dramatic pearl head pieces that merge into the hair style to give the illusion of being part of your hair. With the success of the film "The Great Gatsby", many 1920s inspired wedding gowns and headbands became quite popular this year. Click here for 1920s inspired wedding gowns.
Compared to wedding veils, headpieces stay in place well and require little maintenance. What's more, they help secure your hair! Also, if you have a hair out of place, all of the sparkles and jewels are quite the distraction, so nobody can notice even the slightest imperfections. I love the diversity of wedding headbands available to brides because the styles vary to accommodate every bride and venue from: boho style, destination wedding, high class country club to an outdoor rustic estate.
A wedding is an important event that brides might plan for years. Unfortunately, weddings can be very expensive. To stretch a wedding budget farther, brides can consider wearing used headpiece. Before purchasing this type of used bridal hair accessory, brides-to-be should examine the headband or tiara for any damage. The first way to check for loose rhinestones or crystals is simply looking at a headband or tiara for evidence of any raised stones or setting prongs. You can lightly rub your hands over the surface of the headband or tiara to feel for raised areas that could signify that a stone is becoming loose.
Hope all of your princess dream would come true on your big day! Be a real princess with the gorgeous lace bridal gown from LunaDress.

How to wear "oldish" colors this winter
Some preconceived notions often give us wrong understanding about some colors. Colors like dark green, camel and wine red are often tagged as "oldish". In fact, there are no ugly colors. As long as you have matched the colors well, the so called "oldish" colors would make you look youthful and stylish. Let's have a look the street snaps of the fashion icons and find some dressing inspiration.
Dark greenis a mixture ofblack andgreen. Usually, the color black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a result it creates an air of mystery. And the color green symbolizes nature, fertility, life. Dark green combines thefeatures oftwo colors. However, many people use words like "dull" and "old-fashioned" to describe this color.View tons of dark green prom dresses here.
As popular New York high society beauty, Olivia Palermo has wonderful fashion tastes and color matching skill. She looked really stylish in this red and green look. Usually, many people dare not to wear red and green. They thought it would be too tacky. The dark green fur coat suited her well. The dark green fur coat exuded a kind of low-key luxury. The dark red pencil pants she wore echoed perfectly with the dark green coat. She looked so stylish!
Camel comes from nature. It's the color of the vast desert and tough rock. Interestingly, this natural color has a very urban flavor. But many people dare not to trythis color since they would be tagged as "oldish" easily. In fact, it's very easy to wear camel. The key is to choose a suitable camel coat.
Actress Kate Bosworth, who has "real Barbie" reputation, chose a camel coat with simple and clean lines. Kate looked so noble and elegant in this super long camel coat. Her golden pointed boots added a touch offashion sense to the whole look.
In the eyes of many people, wine red is a very mature color. We often see wine red on many formal occasions like red carpet. Many young girls seldom wear this color in their daily lives. In fact, you can use wine red to create romantic and elegant feeling.
Reese Witherspoon looked youthful and modern in a wine red sweater and denim jeans. Many people would match wine red with colors like black and white. While Reese chose a light blue denim jeans to match with her wine red sweater, very creative. Her wine red high heels echoed perfectly with her sweater.

The Unvarnished Truth
Personal Narratives in Nineteenth-Century America
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe practice of selling one's tale of woe to make a buck has long been a part of American culture. The Unvarnished Truth: Personal Narratives in Nineteenth-Century America is a powerful cultural history of how ordinary Americans crafted and sold their stories of hardship and calamity during the nineteenth century. Ann Fabian examines the tales of beggars, convicts, ex-slaves, prisoners of the Confederacy, and others to explore cultural authority, truth-telling, and the nature of print media as the country was shifting to a market economy. This well-crafted book describes the fascinating controversies surrounding these little-read tales and returns them to the social worlds where they were produced.
Drawing on an enormous number of personal narratives—accounts of mostly poor, suffering, and often uneducated Americans—The Unvarnished Truth analyzes a long-ignored tradition in popular literature. Historians have treated the spread of literacy and the growth of print culture as a chapter in the democratization of refinement, but these tales suggest that this was not always the case. Producing stories that purported to be the plain, unvarnished truth, poor men and women edged their way onto the cultural stage, using storytelling strategies far older than those relying on a Renaissance sense of refinement and polish. This book introduces a unique collection of tales to explore the nature of truth, authenticity, and representation. less

Exploring Majors
How do I choose a Major?
The short answer to this question is that you really like to study a certain subject. You enjoy going to those classes and doing the reading and the homework. Working with a Career Counselor you can begin to explore if a connection exists between your interest in a subject and the world of work. You will probably find that most people are not working in a career that is directly related to their undergraduate major. Ask your Academic Advisor or your Career Counselor what he/she majored in, and no one will tell you they majored in "working with college students".
What steps can I take?
- Become familiar with the majors offered Eastern
- Learn what you can do with a particular major View major cards
- Talk to people. Meeting with a Career Counselor is a good starting point. The Career Counselor may suggest additional good contacts for you to speak to as a way to learn about majors and careers.
- Utilize one of our Self assessment tools to identify your interests and strengths.

Submitted 2014-07-28 18:22:38 There are lots of ways to help ensure the success of your home business. Even something as simple as your frame of mind can determine whether or not your home business will be successful. Here are a couple of suggestions to help make your home business live up to its potential.
First, in keeping with the idea that a positive outlook helps your home business
Luiz Gustavo Brazil Jersey
, remember that not every thing is as bad as it appears. When issues with your home business are not going well, or you feel frustrated and discouraged, continue on. Perhaps there's a new sale for your home business, or some other bit of positive encouragement right around the corner.
Second, remember that you can do nearly anything that you set your mind to do. With hard work and determination, your home business may be all that you have dreamed it could be. Dont let individuals or issues discourage you or get you to let go of your home business dreams. At the same time, dont sit idle and expect your home business dreams to happen with out your help, either. Your hard work, tenacity, and determination can cause your home business to prosper in all the ways you have hoped.
Lucas Moura Brazil Jersey
, it's important to remember to not let your pride get in the way of what you wish to achieve as a home business owner. Develop bridges with your home business customers as well as other colleagues by admitting when you are wrong, making up for errors, and doing what ever it takes to earn their business. In addition, inside your home business, it is essential to share credit with any other business partners or colleagues which have been part of some thing good. Carrying out these good home business practices will keep you in great standing with your customers and business associates.
Fourth, remember to write down the objectives for the home business. It is a proven fact that a home business, or any other venture, will get much farther toward the goal if it is written down. Make a home business plan for your self. What do you hope to accomplish in your home .

Here are the pictures for the third part of THE POWER OF IMAGES. We hope you enjoy them.
Here are the pictures for the third part of THE POWER OF IMAGES. We hope you enjoy them.
On top of the world: Location – Indonesia; "Behold, my kingdom," he declares as he perches on his makeshift throne, hanging by a thread. He looks at his subjects below with royal delight, relishing his throne completely. Even the skies declare his kingship with a display of resplendent colors that shimmer gracefully even as darkness threatens to blanket the clouds.
Grandeur: Location – Oman; Red. No, golden! A golden carpet of desert sand that radiates nothing short of 'grand magnificence'. Breathtaking steps to equally splendid skies that smile down on the beauty below with smashing elegance. Like prints on paper, each step is painstakingly captured in golden motifs. Symbols in the sands of time, retelling the beauty of the landscape with vivacious energy. Undulating dunes of gold sitting majestically like royalty.
Serenity: Location – Oman; Fabulous quietness and beauty. Quietness that you can literally 'hear'. Cascading sand dunes merging and rolling charmingly like an orchestra humming and singing with impeccable rhythm. Colors, gyrating incandescently like a wedding party glowing under the view of the sun. Skies happily reflecting the golden allure of the sand dunes that they watch over. An endless horizon of sheer magnificence and breathtaking tranquility.
Green soldiers: Location – India; Depiction of a farmer's handiwork. Crops reaching for the skies in humble admiration of the trees that dot the field. Mist standing guard with resilience before the first peek of the sun. Enchanting blue skies heralding a bright sunny day. Patiently, the crops await the sun; eager to capture its energy in their luscious green leaves. With delight, they work for the farmer, capturing and storing food from the sun's energy. Green warriors that never move from place to place, yet they cover acres of work each day, powering man's quest for growth.
Breathtaking skyline: Location – New York City; An epitome of New York's splendor. Skyscrapers standing like giants from afar, defining every stretch of the big apple. Rail lines delicately snaking around the giants. Seemingly quiet; carefully masking the endless bustle of the city. Like humans, each structure bears a distinctive image – old and new meshed seamlessly like a painter's handiwork.

We Texans love to celebrate our heritage in creative ways, and we go so far as to designate special routes that commemorate important events in our state's past. Among them, the Independence Trail follows our struggle to statehood, leading us from the Brazos River bottomlands to the Alamo in San Antonio, and the Forts Trail traces historic settlements on the edge of the Texas frontier. Our trails also celebrate the progress of early influential personalities like Comanche Chief Quanah Parker and statesman Sam Houston, who—along with other notable figures including lawmen, pioneer women, Buffalo Soldiers, and vaqueros—deserve recognition for their unique contributions to Texas and what it is, as well as what it represents, today.
Texan Tom Lea—noted painter, muralist, author, and war correspondent—even gets his own month, at least as far as his hometown of El Paso is concerned. And Lea's decades of creativity and accomplishment created a trail as well. Even though the Tom Lea Trail is not officially designated, following it requires a rambling traverse of the entire state. And, unlike a military leader or frontier defender, Tom Lea commanded his bit of history with brush and pen rather than with bayonet or musket. In doing so, Lea helped to define the way the world would view the mythology of Texas for much of the 20th Century.
To celebrate and understand the creative energy of Tom Lea, we must start where Lea himself began and where, perhaps, he made his greatest contributions—in El Paso del Norte, known today as El Paso.
Lea was born in 1907, just a few years before the start of the Mexican Revolution. As the son of a prominent defense attorney who served as El Paso's mayor from 1915-17, Lea enjoyed the advantages of a civil, affluent household despite the dangers posed by the Mexican Revolution's proximity. After expressing a talent for the arts through childhood, Lea left El Paso for the Art Institute of Chicago where, at 18, he began two years of formal training, followed by a five-year apprenticeship with Chicago muralist John Norton, including a period in Italy to study Renaissance frescoes.
Lea left El Paso an enthusiastic youth and returned, more than a decade later, an accomplished, professional artist with a number of major works under his belt. But it would be his commission for the city's federal courthouse that would solidify his reputation as a Texas muralist and draftsman, idealizing the state's long and varied history with a stylized and cinematic flair. The mural's location, a wall 12 feet high and 53 feet long intersected by a broad Classical doorway, provided an ideal canvas for his first true masterwork—Pass of the North.
"I filled the space on each side of the door with figures of old giants, some of them nine feet tall, standing before a background of Mount Franklin and the Rio Grande," Lea wrote, describing the work in his autobiography A Picture Gallery. It took Lea the first half of 1938 to finish the painting, populating the desert-landscape background with larger-than-life figures including a U.S. soldier, a Franciscan priest, a Mexican vaquero, horses, a Spanish explorer, pioneer settlers, Apaches, a Texas rancher, a prospector, and the town sheriff. Lea claimed the mural to be the one he learned the most from, worked the hardest at, and took the most pleasure in completing.
Pass of the North represented more than Lea's passion for dramatizing Texas history. In many ways it also embodied a departure for Texas art in a fast-changing world of early-20th-Century fine art. While the art centers of New York and Paris had already begun to move toward abstraction, many artists in American rural provinces held fast to realism. In this environment, Lea's artwork shone, allowing him to thrive in an era when mural painting often represented the true measure of an artist.
But to see the evolution of Tom Lea's independent style you must travel north, just as "Pass" suggests, and back in time to Dallas and the extravagant Hall of State. The Hall of State, located in Fair Park and built to house the exhibits of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, was designed by a team of 11 architects, led by Houston's Donald Barthelme, and constructed to create an elaborate interpretation of the Art Deco style of the period. Lea was among several artists commissioned to decorate the interior, including a portico and "great hall" flanked by colonnaded galleries, a task he was both honored and delighted to tackle. Here, on the north wall of the West Texas Room, you'll find Lea's idealized cowboy, lanky and bow-legged with lariat in hand, posed among the desert mountains and corrals of the classic Trans-Pecos ranchlands. The mural, seven feet high and 13 feet long, is one part realism and two parts drama, dominated by a modern style that prevails in other Texas regionalists of the period. It is also, without a doubt, all Tom Lea.
Wherever Texas leads, its chroniclers will follow. Thus the state's enthusiasm for its frontier past and its iconic cowboy continued to dominate Lea's subject matter. Traveling south you'll find examples in Austin, including a full-color oil called The Lead Steer at the Blanton Museum of Art, and the more subdued A Little Shade in Waco's Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. Both works provide testimony to Lea's enthrallment with the subject matter.
Perhaps the work that best illustrates Lea's grasp of magnitude and drama in the icon of the Texas West can be seen in the Odessa Post Office. Here, Lea's stormy nighttime mural of Longhorns in mid-stampede, spooked by a lightning strike, thunder across 16-plus feet of post office wall. Amid the terrorized cattle, a lone cowboy and his up-ended horse tumble toward the ground, overtaken by the battalion of Longhorn hooves and horns. Painted in 1940 as part of the WPA program, Stampede remains one of Lea's most arresting works of the period.
Then, beginning in 1941, Lea would witness firsthand a theater of far greater violence. "In the fall of 1941," Lea wrote, "I went to sea aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer on duty in the submarine-haunted North Atlantic, as an Accredited War Artist-Correspondent of Life Magazine. … I became, for deeply felt reasons, an eye-witness reporter, in drawings and paintings, of men and their machines waging a war worldwide. … I want to make it clear that I did not report hearsay; I did not imagine, or fake, or improvise; I did not cuddle up with personal emotion, moral notion, or political opinion about War with a capital-W. I reported in pictures what I saw with my own two eyes, wide open. … In those years, 1941-1945, I saw, and I drew, and I painted, many kinds of things, many men, in many situations, in many places. To this day, you see a man here who is proud—exceedingly proud—that he went out and saw it, and came back home bringing a legible, trustworthy record of what he saw. And to this day, you see a man here who is grateful—humbly grateful—that he got home with his hide intact."
Lea's remarkable collection of work from this period, 82 pieces in all, portrays his illustrative skills at their best. Dense with narrative and unsparing in its depiction of carnage, the collection expresses an understanding of tragedy and pathos that required an unflinching eye. Although the collection is archived at the U.S. Army Center of Military History at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, it tours periodically, including in an exhibition planned for the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg in late 2015.
Undoubtedly, the war left its mark on Lea's psyche. But rather than retreat, Lea began a period of prolific creativity upon his return home at war's end. He began to write as well as paint, publishing a best-selling novel titled The Brave Bulls in 1948. Several years after publication, the rights were sold to the film industry and in 1951 the movie, starring Mel Ferrer and Anthony Quinn, was released. It was followed by The Wonderful Country, based on Lea's western of the same name, starring Robert Mitchum.
Lea's penchant for dramatization was aided by the mastery of his draftsmanship, a skill he used repeatedly to re-create not only what he saw but what he could imagine. To get a real sense of Lea's abilities, you'll want to travel southeast to the Texas coast and Galveston. Here, at the UT Galveston Moody Medical Library, Lea's The First Recorded Surgical Operation in North America, Cabeza de Vaca, portrays the Spanish explorer removing a flint arrowhead from the wounded chest of a Native American. The work has all the tension of the grand narrative, made all the more real by Lea's skillful hand and brought to life by his sense of scale and style.
But perhaps the greatest character in Lea's work and the one he painted best was the expansive landscape of his home. "We have the privilege of living in this life in this marvelous place," Lea wrote. "And writing and painting to me don't have anything to do with who I am and what I do, but with what is so wonderful about what's out there." To witness just what Lea meant you'll want to return, full circle, back to his homeland in El Paso. Here, across a wall in the El Paso Public Library, Lea painted Southwest, a mural 20 feet across that depicts the landscape he loved most. "It took its shape simply as a luminous window looking out upon its birthland," Lea wrote of creating the work. "It spoke of space, sun, cloud, rain, wind, mountain, mesa, rock, sand, soil, and of living growth nurtured by them. …It was the earth, inhabited only by the viewer's mind."
Completed in 1956, Southwest wouldn't be Lea's last work of art. He lived and painted for another 45 years. But it would be perhaps the one that best embraced his grasp on the transformative power of art. "Having love in your life," Lea wrote of his passion for art and the homeland before him, "having energy enough to pursue a thing with all your might and all your spirit. You're not telling anyone about how good you are, but about how good they are because look at what they can see and do and feel in this marvelous life."

Until 1999, and the 50th anniversary of the Communist Party taking power in China, the nation's banknotes bore a variety of different images – minority groups, heroic coal miners and textile workers, Communist Party representatives. In 1999 all of these images were supplanted by a single one – that of Mao Tse-tung. The 2008 Olympic Games saw the introduction of some commemorative images on notes, but for the most part it is the implacable countenance of 'the great helmsman', who decried luxury as bourgeois decadence, that you see every time you pay for a meal, a taxi – or a smart Western bag or belt.
I thought of Mao as I walked around the Alfred Dunhill Shanghai Home – a handsome early-20th-century colonial building tucked away behind Huai Hai Road, which serves as the flagship for the British luxury brand in China – wondering what he would have made of the fine leather bags and belts, the immaculate suits, the beautifully tailored camel-coloured overcoat hanging like a work of art. 'Vicuña,' Huang Rykiel, the senior marketing manager at Alfred Dunhill China, said. I glanced at the price tag. And glanced again. 184,300 yuan (£18,430). 'Thoroughgoing materialists are fearless,' as Mao once said, although possibly in a different context. It would require a steady nerve, as well as deep pockets, to spend that much on an overcoat.
'We sell quite a few…'
Dunhill opened its first Chinese store, in Shanghai, 20 years ago. It now has more than 100 outlets across mainland China. Chinese customers love Dunhill. Its products are stylish in an understated way that thrums with good taste. The bags and belts are popular as gifts, particularly for government officials – expensive, but without the flashy, outsize logos that would attract unwanted attention and could result in being 'monstered' by internet vigilantes on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter.
In the Dunhill store a screen was playing a video of the actor John Hurt talking about his life. Hurt is one of the people who feature in Dunhill's 'Voice' marketing campaign, along with the architect David Adjaye, the documentary maker James Marsh and the artist and filmmaker Jamie Hewlett – all 'distinguished gentlemen', as Dunhill has it, 'who have achieved great things in their chosen fields'.
'It's been really successful in the Chinese market,' Huang Rykiel told me. It occurred to me that few Chinese would actually know who any of these people were. Would Dunhill use distinguished Chinese gentlemen for the campaign?
'With some things you just have to insist, this is our strategy and we're not going to change it. Chinese ambassadors would give instant recognition, but it would dilute the brand identity.'
In other words, what's successful about it is that it's British.

'In China,' Paul Robinson, the English chairman of M1NT, Shanghai's most opulent members' club, told me, 'they wake up expecting today to be better than yesterday, and tomorrow to be better than today. In the West, we think tomorrow will be worse.'
It was nearing midnight. Robinson had given me a guided tour of the club; the plush bar-cum-dance area, with its discrete, roped-off private booths, and booming house music, played by a team of Western DJs; the rooftop terrace with its commanding views over Shanghai's neon-drenched skyline; the enormous tank where baby sharks sidled lazily back and forth, seemingly sizing up the prosperous and stylishly clad clientele on the other side with a predatory eye. Now we were eating dinner – Peking duck and foi gras terrine, prime Angus steak flown in from Australia – in the club's smart restaurant, the skyline like a shimmering curtain hanging at the window.
Robinson, who worked as the finance director at Virgin Records in London, and then ran EMI in Australia and Asia, opened M1NT in Shanghai in 2008. An estimated 210,000 foreigners live and work in Shanghai (double the number of those in Beijing), but 85 per cent of M1NT's members, who pay 6,500 yuan a year for membership, were the newly wealthy, 'aspirational' Chinese, Robinson said – people who had made their money in real estate, retail and manufacturing.
'People are here because they've got the money to spend,' Robinson told me. 'And they don't just want to spend it – they want to be seen spending it.' The biggest selling beverage in M1NT is Dom Pérignon, a significant marker in M1NT's new business plan: an online wine-retailing service, M1NTcellars. China, Robinson says, is developing an insatiable thirst for quality liquor and wines. The country's imported retail liquor industry had a turnover of $4.1 billion in 2011, and is growing by 80 per cent a year, but there is no online retailer of imported wines nor chain of liquor retailers in mainland China. As the Apple store is to technology, Robinson said, so M1NTcellars will be to wine. 'In three years people will be drinking Moët et Chandon at every wedding, every birthday celebration.' He gazed out at the skykline, twinkling like the lights on a Las Vegas slot machine. 'Just imagine what the market will be like when you have one billion people doing that.'
Winston Churchill,' said Mr Tang, pointing to the statue standing outside a pavement cafe. And so it was. A rough facsimile, but close enough. Closer, certainly, than the statue farther down the street of a lithe young woman, which only the aerated soufflé of a haircut intimated might be Diana, Princess of Wales. 'And see this…' Mr Tang pointed to the traditional red telephone box bearing the incongruous legend china telecom. 'Very English!' he said with a delighted laugh.
I was visiting Mr Tang, who worked in research and development at a large pharmaceutical company in Shanghai, at his weekend retreat in Thames Town. A facsimile of an English country town – all half-timbered mock-Tudor buildings, cobbled lanes and Georgian terraces – which lies at the end of the Shanghai Metro Line 9, 25 miles from the city, Thames Town is a part of Songjiang New City – a sprawling modern conurbation that includes seven university campuses and what is claimed to be the largest shopping mall in the world.
Opened in 2006 and built at a cost of £200 million, Thames Town is one rather peculiar element in the 'one city, nine towns plan', a scheme devised by the former mayor of Shanghai, Chen Liangyu, to stimulate residential development in the suburbs while at the same time giving free rein to local and foreign architects to create designs inspired by European themes. (Mr Chen is currently serving 18 years' imprisonment. 'Political problem,' Mr Tang said lightly.)
Thames Town was built by a British engineering and design company, Atkins, which worked on much of the infrastructure for the London Olympics. Other schemes include Breeza Citta di Pujiang, based on a Venetian theme, and Anting New Town, a German-themed development designed by Albert Speer Jr, the son of Hitler's favourite architect.

Thames Town was originally planned as a community of 10,000 people, providing housing for staff at the numerous universities of Songjiang New City and for Shanghai commuters, but properties were quickly snapped up by wealthy buyers as second homes or investments. Only a third of Thames Town's residents live there permanently, Mr Tang told me. 'Professionals. A few government officials…' The rest, like Mr Tang himself, live in Shanghai or elsewhere, visiting only at weekends.
A jovial man of 50, dressed in jeans and a combat shirt, Mr Tang told me that he had visited England on a business trip in 2001 and fallen in love with it. When the opportunity came up to buy an apartment in one of the low-rise blocks that encircle Thames Town's centre, he jumped at it.
'I like to get away from the concrete jungle,' he said. 'Lots of people come here at the weekend to savour the atmosphere, so they don't have to pay for a trip to London. For me it's a place to relax, drink tea and have family reunions.'
Drinking tea appeared to be one of Mr Tang's hobbies. The living-room in his apartment was dominated by an impressive, elaborately carved wooden tea-set, and as we talked he busied himself with the ritual of boiling water, pouring it into cups, emptying the cups over an exquisite clay teapot, spooning tea into the pot, filling the pot with water, filling the cups with tea…
It was a demonstration of Mr Tang's refinement and good taste, along with the ornately carved mahogany furniture in his living-room, the beautiful oil paintings on the wall.
'China now is in the first stage of consumerism,' he said. 'We were poor for a long time, then we suddenly opened our eyes and realised, "Oh, there's so much good stuff in this world, I want to possess everything!" Everybody's buying crazily, but it's mostly for face, to impress others. Later, people will have to calm down. And also it depends on whether we really need all this stuff. For example, older Chinese, we like furniture.' He gestured around the room. 'Young people on the other hand don't care about furniture.' He laughed. 'They don't give a shit about furniture!'
What about bags, I asked.
'We don't care so much about bags,' Mr Tang said.
He reached for his own leather man-bag. 'This is cheaper than Louis Vuitton, very good quality, and I can get it repaired anywhere in the world. Why would I want to have a Louis Vuitton bag?'
So he didn't care about impressing people?
Mr Tang laughed. 'No!'
Mr Tang suggested we take a stroll around town. It felt, curiously, like walking around Henley or Maidenhead – but a Henley or Maidenhead eerily devoid of people. There was a pub, neatly trimmed lawns and hedges, a terrace of handsome Regency houses. We passed a sign saying, welcome to thames town. taste authentic british style of small town. enjoy sunlight, enjoy nature, enjoy your life & holiday. dreaming of britain, live in thames town. We strolled down a neo-Georgian street lined with shops, passing another sign, this one saying toilet, with a Chinese translation below; almost none of the shops was occupied.
Mr Tang beamed contentedly. He liked to take a walk in the evenings, he said, when he had the town almost to himself, and think about life. We passed a newly married couple posing for pictures in front of a row of mock-Tudor houses. Then another newly married couple. And another. It began to dawn on me – virtually the only people here were newlyweds, and the few shops that were occupied weren't shops at all, but photographic studios where hairdressers and make-up artists were primping and preening the brides in readiness for their pictures.

We emerged on to the market square – an expanse of lush green lawn in front of an imposing Gothic church (it is modelled on Christ Church, Clifton Down in Bristol). A dozen or so couples, with their retinue of photographers and stylists, were pacing back and forth in search of the perfect shot.
The church, surprisingly, was actually a place of worship – Catholic, with a congregation of some 200, a woman in the adjacent Christian bookshop – a curious establishment stocking kitsch ornaments, American self-help titles such as So Long, Insecurity and posters of the Pope – told me. She gestured to the posing newlyweds. 'But I don't think any were actually married here.'
Now Mr Tang led the way out of the town centre to an imposing modern building – the Songjiang Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. Beautifully constructed scale models of Songjiang New City spread across a broad expanse of exhibition space. Songjiang, he said, was the first human settlement in the region of what is now Shanghai, almost 2,000 years ago. 'You have to see this.' He led the way to a screening room, where an attendant handed out 3D glasses. The film was a Pixar-style animated history of Songjiang, beginning with the dawn of creation: planet earth forming from the globular mass, oceans churning, forests sprouting, hunter-gatherers giving way to farmers, a village becoming a town, the growth of art, culture, commerce. It accelerated into the modern age, through the 1930s and the ravages of war with Japan (neatly skirting the period of Mao and the ravages of the Cultural Revolution) to arrive, with a crescendo of stirring music, at the present day with sweeping panoramic views of Songjiang New City – the culmination, it seemed, of four and a half billion years of evolution. 'Proud,' the commentary intoned, 'to be in the vanguard of the world, progressing our glorious history.'
The screen went blank.
Giddy and blinking, we filed back out into the exhibition hall. I paused again at the model. 'It's exactly how they said it would be,' Mr Tang said. At the edge of the model was a swath of green baize – awaiting its own perfect model, the Songjiang Central Business District – three square kilometres of tower blocks and offices. Coming soon.
There was something distinctly familiar about this display. The day before visiting Songjiang I had been in a similar exhibition hall in the town of Suzhou – similar but much larger.
Suzhou is known as the Venice of China, the old city a popular tourist destination, with its network of canals, pagodas, classical gardens and narrow streets lined with restaurants and souvenir shops. It is also one of China's most prosperous cities, having expanded at an extraordinary rate in recent years through a series of satellite developments.
Foremost among these is the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), a joint development between the Chinese and Singaporean governments. In 18 years 288 square kilometres of agricultural land have been transformed into the industrial and residential centre of a new city, and it is still growing. Strolling around the enormous model of the scheme in the SIP Exhibition Hall was like looking at a miniaturised version of a new planet.
I paused at a series of photographs taken in the area in the 1960s; one showed a group of Mao-jacketed farmers gathered around a wooden stage watching some kind of improving performance or Party speech; another showed a ramshackle bridge across a lake. I would see it later that evening – now transformed into a row of gleaming restaurants.
Sam Michael, a young American who lives in Suzhou and works for the European company Value Retail, was showing me around. Value Retail owns Bicester Village, the discount shopping outlet in Oxfordshire, which I had visited earlier in my travels, and which is so popular with Chinese visitors to Britain that an estimated two out of three make the pilgrimage there in search of discount Gucci, Prada and Mulberry. Now Value Retail is opening a 'Chinese Bicester' in Suzhou.
Throughout my travels in China I had been struck time and again by how luxury is one of the holy grails of the new middle class. Luxury and a bargain. As Bicester Village is to London, Michael explained, so Suzhou Village would be to Shanghai – far enough away from the centre to avoid luxury brands, as it were, competing with themselves on price, but close enough to make it a diverting day-out for bargain hunters. It was shopping as 'destination tourism'.

'China's story going forward is the growing middle class, not the growing über-rich,' Michael said. 'There's going to be this huge class of consumer that wants to buy a nice thing or two, but doesn't have the cash to fly to Europe and doesn't have the cash to buy in tons. So while we want the very wealthy to shop here, we also see there will be a lot of value in having the aspirational shoppers – the women for whom it's their first luxury bag.'
Discount outlets already exist in China, of course, but they tend to follow a similar model, Michael said: a cluster of buildings on the outskirts of a big city, selling stock that is sometimes four to five seasons old. 'That's a complaint I hear a lot from Chinese people about some of the existing outlets. We won't allow that to happen in any of our outlets, because it impacts on the overall impression. We require that the merchandise offered be in season and from the previous year's collection.'
We took the highway from the exhibition hall, through the SIP 'education area', where Harvard and the University of Liverpool both have faculties, and past what felt like mile and after mile of low-slung industrial facilities (Black & Decker, Amazon, Siemens, Samsung), driving towards the area earmarked for the next stage of development – tourism. The buildings gave way to fields. At the Suzhou Village site stood a huge billboard, bearing an artist's impression of the new development, in what – it had now become apparent – was the standard contemporary Chinese style, which is to say a kind of ersatz parody European, in this case Italianate.
Suzhou Village will house more than a hundred outlets, but for now it was merely a promise – an empty field awaiting the daintily shod footsteps of 100,000 Chinese consumers, swapping their Mao-faced yuan for Western goods.
I looked back towards towering skyscrapers of the new Suzhou. In the other direction, across the expanse of agricultural land, one could see the faint outlines of an ancient pagoda and temple.
The land, Michael said, would soon be ploughed up to make way for a theme park.
I had come to Suzhou to look at another aspect of China's future, and its relation to the rest
of the world – education. In all the conversations that I had in China about the aspirations of the new middle class, one thing appeared to be held in higher regard than almost anything else: a Western education.
'Everybody knows the universities in Britain and America are the best,' Mr Gau had told me as we sat in a cafe in Shanghai. He was a shipping agent with whom I had fallen into conversation during his lunch break. He laughed. 'Why do you think so many government officials send their children there?' In recent years there has been a large rise in the number of programmes within China to prepare students for a Western university education.
Foremost among the English schools involved in such programmes is Dulwich College, a south London independent school. Dulwich College has had a long association with China. It was one of the first independent schools in Britain to introduce Mandarin into its curriculum, in 2004, and has long been a favourite among Chinese parents wanting to educate their children in Britain. There are currently 70 students from mainland China and Hong Kong at the school. It opened its first international school, in Shanghai, in 2003, and now has branches in Beijing and Suzhou, as well as Seoul. These cater mostly for expatriate families.
In 2010 the college introduced a GCSE and A-level programme following the English curriculum, in a private high school, Yung Wing, in Zhuhai – the gateway city between China and Macau – with the specific goal of preparing Chinese students for a Western university education. This year Dulwich opened a similar programme in Suzhou High School – one of the top-ranked state high schools in China. (Dulwich College already offers scholarships to two students from Suzhou to study for A-levels in Britain.) There are 329 students, boys and girls, enrolled in the Dulwich programme at Suzhou – the offspring, in the main, of successful business people or government officials, who pay fees of £10,000 a year for their children to receive a quintessential English education without having to leave China.
The faculty is largely British and American, with some Chinese teaching assistants. Students wear Dulwich College uniforms, unlike the rest of the student body at Suzhou High, who wear whatever they like. Signs in the smart new faculty building state that only English is to be spoken.

'Suzhou is a very developed international city because it's near to Shanghai, and the income here is relatively high,' Zhang Xin, the principal of Suzhou High School, told me. I was sitting in a second-floor office in the new faculty building with Mr Zhang, a stolid, unsmiling man in a suit and tie; and Dr Peter Le Masurier and Sharon Zhuang, who co-lead the Dulwich College programme as the English director and the principal respectively. 'People here interact more with foreigners, and they want their children to go abroad because of the opportunities it presents for the future,' Mr Zhang went on. 'Students want the same thing, so they would rather study in the European system than the Chinese one.'
The Chinese education system is intensely competitive and focused almost entirely on academic achievement, culminating in the final, and decisive, ordeal of the Gaokao, the annual national university entrance exam. This determines whether a candidate will take a much coveted place in a grade-one university, considerably enhancing their prospects for a job in commerce, industry or government.
Recently Weibo was alive with photographs of high-school students in the Hubei Xiaogan No 1 Middle School collectively receiving intravenous drips of amino acids, for energy, while studying for the exams. The school explained that in order to save students the time it would take to travel to a clinic for amino acid injections, it had been arranged for them to receive them in the classroom.
But the pressure starts much earlier than that. A 2010 study of nine- to 12-year-olds in Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang, led by Therese Hesketh, a professor at University College London, found that one in three children questioned exhibited the 'physical symptoms' typical of stress, including headaches and stomach pains.
More than 80 per cent worried 'a lot' about exams, two thirds feared punishment by their teachers and almost three quarters reported fearing physical punishment by their parents.
'We can say "pressure", or on the other hand we might say "expectation",' Sharon Zhuang told me.
'I think this has something to do with the one-child policy. Since there's only one child in the family, if he's not successful, the whole family will be called a failure.'
She had seen the consequences of this among the students at Suzhou High, she said. 'Upset, depressed… I can't say exactly how many, but every year we see a certain number of students like that. A few even leave school, or leave home; some – very few – even try to cut themselves. It's serious. But Chinese parents still try to avoid these psychological problems. They really don't want to face it. In the West, they face it and try to find a solution, but in China there's a tendency for teachers to notice it and parents to not want to discuss it.
'Every school now has a doctor or psychologist. Even junior schools. At our school we have several. We are very focused on this kind of work, working with students and parents and tutors.'
'There are huge pressures to get into top universities because it obviously helps you with your career and financially,' Dr Le Masurier said. 'The Chinese education system is geared towards putting students through the Gaokao, and for a country the size of China, it has a lot of benefits. Everyone has the opportunity to take the Gaokao to get into a top school. But the downside is that a lot of the education is perhaps geared towards that one test. What we're trying to do is add more creativity on top.'
Unlike the standard Chinese curriculum, which focuses solely on academic subjects, the Dulwich programme also emphasises the creative arts, drama, music and an environmental programme, with a view to offering the kind of well-rounded education that would stand pupils in better stead for applying to Western universities. According to Le Masurier, some 70 per cent of the Dulwich students will be applying to American universities, the remainder to British – some to both – and to other universities around the world.
'American universities in particular are looking for more than just exam results,' he said. 'They're looking for leadership, teamwork, creativity.' Presumably, I said, pupils at Dulwich College in London are taught a view of world history and politics that might not necessarily accord with the Chinese view. Is this true of the curriculum at Suzhou? 'We have to be sensitive to the country we're in – and we are. At the moment we don't offer a politics course, so it's not an issue, and we also don't offer history, so it's also not an issue.'
'There's a cachet among Chinese families for a British independent education,' he went on. 'They like the idea of the prestige and the class, but beyond that the depth of knowledge of what that actually means can be very different. You've got parents very focused on wanting their children to go to a foreign university because they see that as a big advantage for their career; parents who are interested in our educational philosophy, and parents who see it as a trend and understand very little of what the school is delivering. Part of what we have to do is make sure the parents understand what they're coming into, and make sure they understand that a Dulwich education means certain things and a certain attitude to life that is very different from an elitist point of view.'
Managing parents' expectations, then, was an important part of the job. 'We do have an expectation that we should be getting our students into a certain number of top schools. Not everybody is able, and also not everybody is a good fit, for Cambridge. There are times when we also we need to have a good discussion with both the students and the parents and say, "Your son is not an A student, he's a B student, and there's nothing wrong with that." He can get into a good school as a B student, that he will feel comfortable in and will achieve in and have a very successful life from. Those discussions are very important.'
Le Masurier suggested I speak to some of his students – half a dozen 15-year-olds, boys and girls, some of the most self-possessed 15-year-olds I had ever met. All spoke near-flawless English. Where, I asked, did they expect an English education would take them? 'Stanford,' said one. 'Berkeley,' said another. 'Cambridge,' said a third. All insisted that their choice was '100 per cent' their idea and not their parents'. There wasn't a B student among them.
So this, I thought, as I walked along Shanghai's Bund a couple of days later, is what we have given the world. Leather wallets and belts. Red telephone boxes. Winston Churchill and the Princess of Wales. The best education money can buy. The Bund was once the heart of the old British (and later international) Settlement, the riverfront lined with majestic buildings – banks, trading houses and colonial offices – the relics of an Empire on which, it was believed, the sun would never set. On the opposite side of the river now stands a dense, towering forest of testosterone skyscrapers – one of the breathtaking sights of the modern world.
It was Sunday, the first day of the Moon holiday, and the esplanade was thronged with holidaymakers and sightseers, many carrying small paper Chinese flags that they waved happily as they posed for photographs.
As I sat on a wall two girls approached and asked me to take their photograph as they posed against the skyscrapers. 'These buildings are very new,' they said proudly, and, pointing to those lining the Bund, 'those are very old.' They giggled, happy to have someone to practise their English on.
'In the 19th century,' said one, 'I think England was number one. And in the 20th century, America number one. And now…' She giggled again.
I knew what was coming.
And it did.

Fusobacteriales are part of the standard cast of characters in the microbiomes of our mouth, lungs, gut, and urinary tract.
They are found more frequently in the digestive tracts of healthy folks than those of Crohn's Disease sufferers and are more common in the mouths of healthy folks than in those of noma sufferers (noma is a necrotizing disease of the gums and jaws that disproportionately affects children in developing countries).
Although small numbers of Fusobacteriales are commensal to the nose and throat, the proportion of these bacteria represented in our microbiota increases during the Fall and Winter (prime cold/flu season). In rare cases, pregnant women with Fusobacteriales in their mouths may develop infections in their amniotic fluid that predispose them to preterm delivery, but most of the time we harbor these bacteria with more positive effects than negative ones.

Welcome to uBiome!
We are the world's first effort to map the human microbiome with citizen science. Our sequencing service provides information and tools for you to explore the populations of bacteria that live on and inside your body.
What We Do
Based on research from the NIH Human Microbiome Project, we've perfected the technology to perform large-scale microbiome studies. The knowledge we'll gain may (one day) empower people to live healthier and accelerate our understanding of the world around us. For the individual, we leverage this technology to help you better understand your own microbiome. Here's what you can learn:
An estimated 500 - 1,000 species of bacteria live in the human gut. Get the breakdown of what yours are down to the genus level.
How well does your gut metabolize caffeine? How about carbohydrates? Our NEW functionality tab lets you compare 109 different functions of your gut, and how they stack up against others.
If you're thinking of trying something new – a new diet, probiotics, or anything else – get a "before" picture of your microbiome to compare with your "after", and see what has changed.
Find out how you're different. Is your microbiome more like a vegan's or a heavy drinker's? Are your bacteria more or less diverse than other people of your gender? See how you measure up.
We give you the data, what will you do with it? Team up with uBiome to research the microbiome, and discover something new.
Every day, we are learning more about the human microbiome, and we hope to have many discoveries to share as we go. It's a vast new frontier of scientific research. Thank you for being part of it with us!
What Happens Next
After ordering, we will send your kit straight to you! Collect your samples with a quick swab
of the site (or sites), and mail it back to us in the provided prepaid envelope.
Your samples will travel to our office in San Francisco, where theyíll be run through our state-of-the-art DNA sequencing lab. Expect to get your results back 4-6 weeks after we receive your sample.
You will then receive access to a personal dashboard (app.ubiome.com) which breaks down the types and functions of bacteria found in your sample.
Here is where you can see your diversity score as well as learn, explore, and compare everything related to your bacteria.

Goosebumps at a State Bar Conference
Debra L. Bruce, JD, PCC.
On Friday, June 21, 2013 I got goosebumps at the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting. I have attended quite a number of State Bar conferences and witnessed of the swearing-in of a lot of State Bar Presidents. Frankly, the ceremonies tend to be rather boring affairs that have to offer a free lunch on the conference premises to attract attendance.
I know I wasn't alone in experiencing the singular sensation, however. The newly installed president had to quell a lengthy standing ovation in order to speak. I hadn't given much thought to the swearing-in until I witnessed it, and palpably felt its historic significance.
I was there when the first African-American Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas's swore in the first African-American President of the State Bar of Texas. And the new President is a woman, to boot! As I watched the swearing-in, its significance hit me. I felt compelled to grab my smartphone and snap a picture. It's not a great photograph, but it captured a great moment.
Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson became the first African-American Justice on the Supreme Court of Texas in 2001. He ascended to the Chief Justice position in 2004, another African-American first. President Lisa Tatum is the first African-American woman and the 133rd lawyer elected as President of the State Bar of Texas.
Following the ceremony, a mixture of pride and hope penetrated me. I don't even know what I'm hoping for. An expectation of dramatic change in an industry grounded in precedent is too much responsibility to put on one person's shoulders. I think I'm just hopeful that this is an outward sign of an internal shift that has already taken place.
A Law Firm Associate's Primer on Law Firm Economics
Debra L. Bruce, JD, PCC.
Sometimes I speak to law students about law firm economics. The schools want me to tell students the financial aspects of law firms that young lawyers need to know, in order to be successful there. Law firm managing partners want me to help students understand how long it takes for a new lawyer to be profitable for the firm. Here's some information about law firm economics for law students and young lawyers that serves the needs of everyone. Read more «A Law Firm Associate's Primer on Law Firm Economics»

Nevada's Economy: With U.S. consuption spending rising for the ninth straight month, the Nevada economy continues to show uneven signs of recovery
The Nevada economy was hit extremely hard during the most recent U.S. recession. As the U.S. economy continued to strengthen in the latter half of 2010, the Nevada economy finally showed some uneven signs of growth. Because the Nevada economy is so relient on gaming, hospitality and tourism, the state's economic recovery is being led by that sector. Housing and commercial real estate will likely follow later – once the growth of the Silver State's economic base is reestablished.

'Spider-Man' Star Tom Holland Admits Love for 'Just Friends' and Ambition to Play James Bond
Although Tom Holland is the third actor to throw on the Spidey suit this century, he's already won over the hearts of fans. Following his scene-stealing drop-in to last summer's Captain America: Civil War, he is earning raves for his first standalone entry, Spider-Man: Homecoming. (Also for that bold Lip Sync Battle performance…)
In our rapid-fire 15 Questions interview (watch above), we got to know Holland a wee bit more, particularly when it came to his own movie tastes.
While he has caught some flak for owning up that he's never seen the original Star Wars trilogy, he can does hold some Jedi cred for The Phantom Menace (we think) being the first movie he saw in a theater.
He calls the Edward Norton thriller Primal Fear his favorite movie of all time, and the Ryan Reynolds comedy Just Friends his guilty pleasure. "It's my mom and I's favorite Christmas movie," said Holland, who added he's probably seen it 20 times.
And beyond his arc as the world's most famous web-crawler, there's another screen icon Holland is itching to play someday: "James Bond. Let's make it happen!"
Spider-Man: Homecoming opens July 7. Watch Holland share secrets on his new suit:

TLE claims dataset
Hi, does anybody know of a good source for TLE claim data? I am specifically interested in TLE claims in Alberta. Even a pdf map with all the claims would help at this point.
Treaty Land Entitlement maps
Hi Kathrin,
I've done a bit of research and found some interesting data, but it doesn't appear to be Treaty Land Entitlement data. In fact, the person who I spoke to at INAC (David Perrin) doesn't seem to think there's spatial data about the location of current negotiations.
Dave suggested looking at the Specific Claims website: http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/ps/clm/scb-eng.asp. There's a link to a maps page, which has maps of Historical Treaties, as well as Specific Claims (you can find the Claims Status map at http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/ps/clm/csm_e.html.
Hope that helps. Perhaps one of our members from a Nation that has filed a TLE claim knows of a better source of such information?
If you do find better information, please do post it here so others may benefit too!
One more useful link!
Also, NRCan has a map of Treaties and Comprehensive Land Claims in Canada: http://www.lsd.nrcan.gc.ca/english/comprehensive_claims_e.asp

Truro drug sting nets 8 arrests, trafficking charges
8 Nova Scotia men and women charged with trafficking prescription painkillers
Police in Truro have laid charges against eight Nova Scotia men and women at the conclusion of Operation Impact, a two-month-long investigation into prescription drug trafficking in and around the town.
According to police, the investigation targeted traffickers of the highly-addictive prescription painkiller hydromorphone. Dilaudid is one of the best-known brands of narcotic pain relievers.
"We fully recognize the destructive impact that the abuse of this drug creates," Truro Police Chief David MacNeil said in a statement.
"As a result, we have made the trafficking of prescription pills, especially hydromorphone, a top priority."
Truro police conducted the investigation with help from Nova Scotia RCMP.
The eight people charged in the drug sting are all from Truro and Salmon River and range in age between 41 and 58. They are all charge with multiple counts of trafficking hydromorphone.
Six of the eight accused have been released to appear in Truro provincial court at a later date. The other two also face multiple counts of failing to comply with undertakings and are being held in custody for bail hearings.
Truro plice said three of the eight charged had prescriptions for hydromorphone-based painkillers.


text: Canada's political scene was further rocked yesterday by the recovery of the soul of the real mayor of Toronto, which has spent the last two years trapped in the body of Etobicoke-area drug dealer and amateur beat-boxer Anthony Wilson. "The mayor was taking a tour of police headquarters," explained Police Chief Bill Blair, "And he was holding one of the amulets we confiscated from the tent of that old gypsy lady when he asked 'I wonder what makes them turn to a life of crime?' Then he appeared disoriented and almost fell over, but when I went to help, he pulled away and said he 'Didn't wanna spend no more time in a goddamn police station' and told his driver to take him 'wherever home is I guess, and stop at Popeye's Chicken on the way'. And that last bit about Popeye's seemed typical of Ford so I assumed everything was fine." Anthony Wilson, then known as "Q-Tip" to his customers because of his extreme whiteness, slim physical build, and habit of jamming anything he could get his hands on into any orifice in his head, was being questioned in the station at the time, and when he started screaming about being in the wrong body, officers assumed it was just a bad trip and transferred him to the local hospital. Upon release Wilson would spend the next two years attempting to get a job. Failing that, he became heavily involved in community work and attempting to set up local education and work initiatives. While the amulet could not be located, the two were restored to their original bodies when Rob realized he'd learned an important lesson. He then announced plans for a comprehensive upgrade of the city's educational, correctional and drug rehabilitation programs. Are you relieved to have the REAL Rob Ford back? OutFunny!

It's true, women fake it sometimes.
In fact, I'm faking it now. I am supposed to have a date tonight with Ned (it would fulfill my "one other date a week" criteria and he seems nice) but I just can't do it. Work has worn me out this week and I had several sleepless night worrying about Kyle's "truly wonderful" comment. Although this goes against everything Charm believes in– I'm faking a work emergency tonight.
What I really need is a good glass of red wine and some Olympic runners in spandex tonight.
Not to worry, I'll be back in full force next week writing about my escapades at the Democratic convention in Denver.
