Bella Hadid dyed her hair to avoid confusion with her sister Gigi.
The 19-year-old model - who is a natural blonde - has admitted she coloured her hair brown so people can distinguish between her and her older sister, and fellow catwalk star, who is known for her long golden locks.
Speaking to WWD, she said: "I think because my sister and I are so close, it's nice to have the change [of hair colour]."
However, the American beauty is not averse to experimenting with various other hair colours.
She said: "When I was younger, I dyed my hair blue. I love showing my style through my hair. When I was younger, I cut it and dyed it and it just stuck for a while."
Despite Bella - who signed to IMG Models in 2014, three years after her 20-year-old sister - wanting to distinguish her appearance from her sibling, the pair enjoy working together and love sharing career advice with one another.
When asked whether they give each other tips, Bella said: "Because we're so close in age, we've always been really close. We get to work together too now, which is great, being able to bounce ideas off each other."

North Dakota farmer plows 'we stand for the national anthem' into his field
1 / 2
2 / 2
EDGELEY, N.D—A North Dakota farmer who has made headlines for his agriculture art is at it again, this time with a controversial message.
Gene Hanson, of Edgeley, N.D., decided to plow out "we stand for the national anthem" in his farm field.
Hanson wrote it in response to NFL players who protested the anthem before games.
It took Hanson two hours to make the message and was done with his tractor and disc. Overall, the words span across two football fields.
In the past, Hanson has plowed a Prince symbol and the words "Feel the Bern" into his field.

What's particularly beneficial in this kind of article is which you're able to receive a really first individual point of view on a matter, whether it is about someone's existence or some thing they're a specialist at. Normally, you will contend strongly for the principal trigger in this kind of composition. The dreaded school essay is the most difficult in regards to really finding a subject to come up with. Clearly step one will be to select a subject. Even though, if you aren't being assigned with a topic and you should decide on a subject your self, then it's only reasonable to select the theme which you can naturally reveal and you wouldn't want a great deal of studying to collect some information first. Astounding matters normally suggest good scores while average topics mightn't always hold essay writers company the optimum / optimally support. Inside this sentence, you might want to discuss the way the initial two body paragraphs relate to one another as well as your thesis statement after you generate your third stage. Frequently, according to the kind of composition, the 2nd body paragraph may be used to earn a concession and rebuttal. Despite the fact that the decision is straightforward and may be realized in a few of phrases, it really is a somewhat essential quality of your composition which you ought not neglect.
The critical points should be highlighted by you during your search.
It can be composed of two or more sentences. Some men and women actually like to speak and may speak to anybody Whether they suits whatever you've been desiring in an individual, AMAZING! The very best part is the reality that it just academic essay writers requires one person to modify your planet and earn anything else sound right. Some one who honor the worth of moment can get the wanted success in their existence but if does not understand the worth of it can also destroy his or her day-to-day life totally. These write my essay for me kids were fairly bad students. Kids in enormous households, since they develop in financially tenuous states, have an incredibly strong survival instinct. Actually when you're n't simply striving to have a good score, a amazing article issue simply makes the composing process that much more entertaining if you're extremely interested in what it really is you are authoring. Ahead of using for law college, be sure it is a choice you'd like to be.
You???ll never forget an idea again.
Another excellent reason to see law school is should you feel a law degree will be able to help you accomplish your targets. Prior to heading to law school, analyze first your accurate explanations for why you would like to reach that. In Englishlanguage, arrangements or documents truly are one of the vital information on the theme. Composing good compositions is critical in the Englishlanguage in the feeling that it empowers the student in order to convey what's in their own mind regarding a specific matter. A normal Language Vocabulary structure includes four leading components, specifically the heading, the introduction, the human body and the conclusion.

Hannah Barnes: NorthWest
December 12 2013
The thing about the unknown is it's so damn appealing.
The idea of finding a trail you've never ridden, a view you haven't seen and people you've never met, all the while picking up a few tales along the way is something that drives a lot of mountain bikers to head for the hills, to fill in the blanks on their mental maps. Hannah Barnes is one of those mountain bikers. It's fair to say Hannah has a definite competitive streak but it's also her curious nature that leads her to races all over Europe and to seek out new and interesting challenges in off-beat places. As Hannah finds as she heads west on her Five, you don't need to go too far from home to unwrap the unknown.
We're very proud to be associated with this film from Cut Media. We'd like to thank Stu Thomson and Hannah Barnes for getting us involved and helping us to live vicariously through them.
Here's to the unknown.
If you're after more NorthWest pick up a copy of the latest MBR magazine which features a great write up on the Cape Wrath trail. Then go do it yourself.

Hmmm I hear you say – What is that and why do you think I need one.
Well the answer is simple. We need to know where decisions are made. I recently spoke to a consultant who said that to get a medicine for a group of patients he had to fill in a drugs and therapeutics committee form for his own hospital. They approved the application, but referred the Consultant to the area prescribing committee (actually he called it another damned committee) which had a different form who then said it was a commissioning issue because there was an additional cost involved and it was referred to another committee (another group of bureaucrats I think was the term) who needed a business case. He said that it took him nearly a year to get it all sorted out and at several points in the process he was tempted to give in.
So how is that for integration and working together.
I must admit that sometimes I have been confused as to whether it is a drugs and therapeutics / formulary decision or a commissioning decision. And at some times it did depend – well on me. No not good enough.
So it is about time we sorted this out and made it clear to people – and foster a one stop shop for all decisions of this type if possible.
So here is an idea:
Medicines totally within tariff. If a hospital wants to decide which IV fluid or which anaesthetic it uses then fine. The consultant has to apply to the hospital committee. I would have said that they should be allowed to get on with it, but having watched a hospital get themselves into all sorts of problems with Sevoflurane and Isoflurane, I am not sure – they should have an external pharmacist from the CCG or CSU on their committee.
Medicines that are likely to be prescribed across the interface or are excluded from tariff. These should be decided within the APC, but there needs to be a clear financial limit set and reflected in the committees terms of reference.
Medicines where there is a cost implication. When the cost implication of introducing a new medicine is higher than the APC threshold then it needs to go to a priorities or commissioning committee with the authority to commit funds and the ability to generate policies and pathways.
So hello Mr consultant – you want to use a new medicine and want to know which committee to apply to. Well just a few simple questions. Is the medicine only going to be used within the hospital and included within tariff. No then do you have an estimate of the number of patients that might be prescribed the medicine in this area then calculate the total cost of the medicine. Will this medicine replace another medicine – one for one – then take of the cost of the replaced medicine – is that below or above the threshold? Simples.
So the answer – a simple map that defines what each committee is able to deal with and make a decision – an algorithm perhaps or a decision pathway – it doesn't really matter what you call it.
And the outcome – an applicant knows which committee to apply to that has the ability to make the decision that he/she needs. One form and hopefully a target decision time within weeks not months or even years.
And I won't have to sit through a committee labouring over a decision that they are not authorised to make. And look into a consultant's eyes watching his heart drop, his temper flair and answer the question – so what hoop do you want me to jump through now.

In Act 1 Scene 2, Elphaba enrolls at Shiz University in order to care for her sister Nessarose, who is confined to a wheelchair. Elphaba feels protective as she cares for her disabled sister. Thus, the pro-life cause transcends all of humankind, the unborn, disabled, and elderly. Being pro-life involves caring for all. Whether that be advocating for unborn rights, pushing a girl or boy in a wheelchair, or defending someone with autism or Down Syndrome, a pro-life individual seeks to serve others and uphold their inherent dignity because all life is beautiful and valuable. Elphaba, ever the pro-life heroine, serves her sister willingly. Likewise, all who are pro-life advocate for all life, regardless of the level of physical and mental aptitude present in unborn and handicapped humans.

Good Friday
I wonder why they call it that. It certainly wasn't too good for Jesus Christ. He spent the day sacrificing His life for us in a very unpleasant way. Not so good. It should be called Sad Friday. And why did he have to die this way? Beaten, pierced by a sword, hanging on a cross by nails? Was it because when he came back from the dead, it was so unbelievable. If it happened today, I should think a nice open traumatic brain injury would make me a true believer. Sad Friday should be the new name.

I think technically "Good Friday" is from "God's Friday." But Sad Friday would be a better name in this day and age to get the message across.

WAMU is up all night
WAMU in Washington, D.C. joined PIN only about six months ago. In those six months, WAMU's senior news editor Rebecca Blatt and online managing editor Seth Liss have experimented with using PIN as a resource for a wide variety of programming — from feature reporting to talk shows, to a pet segment.
What's struck me about their work, beyond the variety, is the friendly and accessible way they interact with sources. And they always say thank you to those sources who shared ideas or were featured in coverage, including links to the relevant programming and to questions on deck for future programming.
I asked Rebecca Blatt (at right) about their friendly and personal thank you notes, and she said "[they're] extremely helpful. It's fun for me to get to know people a little better, and it means we're getting additional story ideas in the interaction."
Exactly. That cycle of sharing insight can lead your reporting to new places where you get real benefit out of editorial engagement.
Blatt also called my attention this week to a piece from WAMU's news magazine "Metro Connection." She says they "were doing a show with the theme 'up all night.' We sent out a query asking people what keeps them up late at night, and we got a really thoughtful response from someone who is up taking care of her elderly father. The reporter ended up giving her a recorder and having her keep an audio diary for a week — mostly in the middle of the night. I think it turned into a really powerful piece, and it's an example of how generous PIN sources can be."
Give this very moving piece a listen: Up All night With an Elderly Parent.

Hi everyone
After reflecting on yesterday's Cardiff CLLSA patient meeting and the talks by leading UK clinical researchers and scientists. The developing new era of CLL medicine became real for me. Change is afoot, things are happening. There is good reason for the air of optimism and hope for the future.
Things sound so close you can almost touch them, but are they really that close? We are at somewhat of a cross roads, when exciting novel agents have to prove their efficacy and safety over time in a few before they can gain approval for the majority. To hear about so many showing real promise and requiring time is also very frustrating, . There are many hurdles still to overcome not least cost. However novel drug that have less toxic foot prints are now coming into trial in the UK . At first they will be trialled in the harder to treat groups, those with fewest options: the previously treated, refractory, elderly and less fit groups.
Watch this current news video, New, targeted oral medicines promise to revolutionise the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. From patientpower.info
Dr Claire Dearden , Consultant Haematologist and Head of the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) Unit at The Royal Marsden shows her excitement with these latest developments and discusses how they are now entering UK clinical trial for treating some with CLL.
There are many different types of approach to novel treatment that appear less toxic producing a lot of different novel drug leaving the bench and coming into trial. Listening to all the on-line chatter you may think it is only one or two. There are many a few are stealing the headlines at the moment but they will soon be joined by others. Understanding the complexities of different CLL types and the changing trial landscape available to clinicians to treat CLL does emphasise for the future how important it will be at treatment to have a consultant with a special interest in CLL on your team to best understand the ramifications and gain access to the agents in trial suitable for you. I will report later of yesterday's talk by Professor Fegan about these new treatments in development and how things may unfold in the UK..
CURRENT - NCRN CLL Trials Portfolio Map: ncrndev.org.uk/downloads/Tr...
For me the caveat to all this is still our greatest companion; Time. Things may not move as fast as perhaps they should be able to. Younger fitter treatment naive patients will have to make do with what is available for the time being. Bendumustine a less toxic chemotherapeutic is being trialled with the next generation monoclonal antibody therapies to create a less toxic combination treatment option to FCR for this group in the not so long term.
We will have to wait to see what unfolds with a lot of time. If treatment is required to save our life we have effective options but will probably have to take the hit of toxicity to buy time if disease progression prevents us from holding out. Waiting and time seem unavoidable with CLL, and there are never any guarantees. However listening to yesterday's Cardiff experts who are on the front line did leave me feeling more confident.
Without improved testing at diagnosis and at treatment then targeted therapies cannot be easily directed towards treating the individual patient. So it was so fascinating yesterday to listen to Dr Pepper's take of prognostic testing , Handy that he could fall back on the study that his research group published last year. So his thoughts on the current state of play it's real value was based on evidence. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/221...
Monitoring and graphing lymphocyte doubling time is one of the most reliable and cost effective independent prognosticators used in CLL management. It is the next generation of testing coming available by improved and more cost effective genome testing that will make a difference. Many novel pathways are being worked on that when combined with novel treatments may get us closer to the holy grail of individualised CLL medicine.
Chris Pepper's work with telomeres I found most interesting. That telomere lengths identify different prognosis of CLL patients. CLL patients have shorter telomeres and more progressive/aggressive CLL the shortest . This causes more to fuse together dislocating information that is clearly visible when a genome is sequenced. Fascinating. ( :
Extreme telomere erosion in ATM-mutated and 11q-deleted CLL patients is independent of disease stage.
Andrew Schorr at patient power has published a few more interviews from experts attending last year's ASH conference who give their overview of the changing landscape .
Expert Perspective on CLL Treatment and Research Complexities and Obstacles ."Dr. Michael Keating, CLL researcher specialist at MD Anderson Cancer Center and President of the CLL Global Research Foundation, points out what he views as challenges in the expanding range of treatment options for CLL. In this interview, Dr. Keating also expresses dismay at the way many clinical trials are performed and how he feels this could potentially inhibit ongoing research and expanding knowledge to treat CLL."

"Manufacturing industry is in decline, the balance of trade has got the biggest deficit for three hundred years, and the public finances are unbalanced. The 650,000 jobs lost in manufacturing have been replaced by roughly the same number in the public sector - but you can't run the economy like that and sustain it."
He criticised the Chancellor for raising the funds he needs by "invisible" taxes - on companies; "but this simply made the country less competitive in world markets".
He said that Conservatives would free professional people from the chains of command from Whitehall, and make them more accountable to local people who used public services.
Oliver Letwin was introduced by Sir David Mitchell, thanked by Sir George Young and the dinner was chaired by Sandy Copland.

Last night, watching the Oscars, I cried.
The sheer joy and awe at performing his song at the Oscars that shone out of Glen Hansard's face moved me to tears. And the giddy yet shy smile on Marketa Irglova's face while she was playing piano and singing fairly shouted, Can you believe this?! We're really here. Doing this! Wow!, while at the same time it conveyed her obviously sweet and earnest disposition.
The song was amazing. So perfectly said and beautiful. So hopeful. So right. Sung so passionately. And played on that obviously much-loved guitar that Hansard plays. Oh! It just all made me so happy. It was just so right. My joy at their winning Best Song made me clap and do a little dance where I sat. I mean really! I can't imagine better people winning. It's such a redeeming moment for genuine artists, a group of like-minded friends could create a work of art, a movie, and put it out there and have it lead to genuine recognition for their efforts.
As a writer and as the wife of a talented and hard-working musician, the friend of many other working artists in various genres, it gave me great hope that real art created by real, thinking, feeling individuals (as opposed to song-writing hacks hired by studios and labels to throw some words and notes on a page and hand them to some hand-picked pop-tart and mashed together with ProTools and pitch correction software) is still being recognized at that level.
Yay for the little man and woman!
I also loved both of their speeches and I swear...Jon Stewart will now and forever have a special place in my heart for bringing Marketa Irglova back on stage to give her acceptance speech after being cut off by the producers. And I daresay, hers was one of the finest, most inspiring speeches I've ever heard given on an awards broadcast. In fact, I was so moved by it that I want to share it with you in case you did not see it yourself:
Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along the way. Thank you
Irglova also wins double-Dawn points by using one of my all time favorite Irish expressions, fair play, which basically means congratulations.
And just because his speech was pretty special too, here's what Hansard had to say in his speech:
Thanks! This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad. We made this film two years ago. We shot on two Handicams. It took us three weeks to make. We made it for a hundred grand. We never thought we would come into a room like this and be in front of you people. It's been an amazing thing. Thanks for taking this film seriously, all of you. It means a lot to us. Thanks to the Academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us, they know who they are, we don't need to say them. This is amazing. Make art. Make art. Thanks.e>
Of course, it's all just made better for me by the fact that Hansard is Irish, Once was shot in Dublin, and I'm a sucker for Irishmen.

The trial took place at 59 sites, mostly in the continental United States, with some in Canada, Puerto Rico and the Netherlands. It involved 5,400 volunteers, mostly men, none of whom were infected with H.I.V. at the start of the trial.
About 5,100 of the participants were gay men who said they had had sex with many other men. The other 300 were women who were considered at high risk of infection through sexual contact.
Two-thirds of the participants were given a series of seven shots over three years, while the other third were given the same number of placebo injections. The goal was to see if the people who received the vaccine would have a lower rate of infection. In the overall population of participants, 5.8 percent of those who received the placebo became infected, compared with 5.7 percent of those who received the vaccine. The difference was not statistically significant.
But among black, Asian and other minorities the rate of infection was only 3.7 percent in the vaccinated group, compared with 9.9 percent in the placebo group.
That meant, after statistical adjustments, that the vaccine reduced the infection rate in that group by 66.8 percent. The numbers were small, about 500 patients, but statistically significant. There was a less than 1 percent chance that the findings were the result of chance.
Why the difference among minorities isn't yet clear. But here's how the vaccine works:
The vaccine, known as Aidsvax, is made from a protein called gp120, the same protein that protrudes from the surface of H.I.V. and helps the virus dock with cells of the body's immune system. The protein in the vaccine is made in genetically engineered hamster ovary cells. Since the vaccine consists of only one protein and not the whole virus, it cannot give someone AIDS. But it is designed to provoke the immune system into making antibodies that will latch on to the gp120 protein in the real virus and the virus from infecting immune cells.
Last week's New England Journal had an article (Sorry. Requires subscription.) that explains why this approach isn't such a good one. It turns out that the protein, gp120, is extremely flexible and difficult for antibodies to latch on to:
The initial event in HIV-1 infection is the stable tethering of HIV-1 to a host cell. This interaction is mediated by a binding event between the glycoprotein (gp) 120 molecule that protrudes from the virus and a CD4 molecule on the host cell. (An accessory host-cell molecule, CCR5, is also involved in the binding event.) Stable binding leads to infection. The binding reaction can be blocked by neutralizing antibodies, but only two antibodies are known to bind glycoprotein 120 stably. The majority of antibodies fail to bind glycoprotein 120 and therefore do not neutralize infection. A recent study shows that glycoprotein 120 is refractory to the binding of these "impotent antibodies" because the molecule is unusually flexible, and the binding regions of the antibodies are specific to a particularly flexible part of it. (Emphasis mine.)
Just a speculation, but it could be that minorities produce better binding antibodies. Anyway, the article predicted the failure of VaxGen's vaccine. In an aside the author's mentioned that the company might want to reconsider their approach. Turns out they were right. But give the company credit, they presented their findings honestly and didn't try to use statistics to exaggerate them.

Her "self-proclaimed godfather" only comes across as more obnoxious, having used his connections with Senator Dole to force the hospital to do things his way - including full access to the ICU and the right to take and publicize pictures of the girl as she lay dying. (Which if you think about it is disrespectful of the patient, who was not able to give her consent.)
The hospital also comes across looking bad, but their side of the story hasn't been told in full. Certainly, it hasn't been told anyway near as freely as Mahoney has told his version.

The opening version of last year's winning song was interesting. I enjoyed the comedic beginning and the pyrotechnic danceable ending, but the middle was a little bit strange in my opinion. 'Germany's Simon Cowell' showed off his musical skill to great aplomb, but I wasn't too sure about his singing.
What follows is a list of the 25 participating finalist countries with my comment on their songs. If you want to watch them then I suggest you check YouTube, as I've posted this as soon as possible after the performances were finished, so they weren't yet available to embed.
FinlandI loved the last winning entry. This one was totally different, featuring a very tuneful singer. The background of the earth made a great prop for his song abot saving the earth- twee but something close to my heart.
Bosnia & HerzegovinaIs it just me ordid the guitarist look like Spike Milligan? A good rhythm to this song, but the dancer/trumpeeter didn't seem to match the rest of the band. I was also put off by the fact that I couldn't understand all the words despite the fact that they were singing in English.
DenmarkCatchy start with clear words and going into a good rhythm. Enough repetition of words to have me singing along, but not overdone. It felt very much like watching a proper live concert. You may have gathered that liked this one!
LithuaniaInteresting harmonies in places. As commented on the UK commentary, a song that could have come straight out of an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical (had it not been sung only partly in English). To be honest, I got bored with this one quite quickly, not helped by the camera-work which made me dizzy.
HungaryNot really my cup of tea- too poppy for my taste. The women's oufits didn't do anything fr me either. Managed to give me a headache.
IrelandI'm afraid that I automatically approached this song with dread. And, whilst it seemed quite well performed, it certainly didn't redeem myself in my view. My Mum comented that Jedward appeared like overgrown imps and I tend to agree. Plus, it was hard to hear them as the backing singers were at the same volume almost all the way through.
SwedenThe drumming certainly made an impact from the start. The words to this song seemed to make the singer seem rather desperate ("I will be popular"). The backing dancers actually made more of an impression on me than the lead singer. The breaking out of the box stunt was pretty good though.
EstoniaInteresting scenery and backing dance. And what was with her dress? Quite catchy, but I'm not sure I really want it stuck in my head.
GreeceCertainly made an impact right from the beginning. An interesting mix of contrasting styles using hip-hop and opera together- not sure it really worked though. I did enjoy the bits where the opera singer was doing his bit, but I was put of by the other bits. And what was with the section where they danced together?
RussiaA talented performer, good at both singing and dancing (and pretty good loking as well). There was to much happening on stage though and in my opinion it detracted from the performance.
FranceThis made a relaxing break from all the pop so far, especially set against the scenes of sunsets and clouds. A very talented tenor, whose music I could appreciate despite not understanding the words.
ItalyA good start going into a toe-tappin rhythm. Very smooth! The piano solo was particularly good in my opinion. An impressively long and high note at the end. I enjoyed this one.
SwitzerlandA catchy opening melody, as were the smiles onstage. A real feel-good song, encouraged by the 60s style animations on the screen behind.
United KingdomAm I allowed to comment on this one? Why not, its not like I can vote for them!
Unforunatly the pictures at the beginning of this piece made them look like criminals. This is one of Blue's best songs in my opinion, although I have heard it sounding better than in tonights performance.
MaldovaWhat were they wearing on their heads? In fact, what was this full-stop? I can only guess that they were setting out to make an impact- well they certainly did that. There's always at least one like this in Eurovision, but think this might be the most perculiar I've seen yet. Where else would you see a woman ddresed as a fairy with a pointy at riding a unicycle in a pop/rock song?
GermanyThis is only the third time that a Eurovision singer had defended their title. I quite ehoyed the bizarre white-clad dancers. Pity I couldn't say as much about the song, which really just failed to make an impact on me. The 'cathedral' of lights at the end was pretty cool though.
RomaniaA very swarmy, but good singer who reminded me of John Barrowman. A twee message set against a rhythm which only just failed to make me want to dance. I liked his attempt to try to get the audience to join in, which wouldn't have been to hard to do given the repetative nature of the song.
AustriaA brave start siging acapella, which paid off because of the singer's lovely voice. A simpe, but engaging song peformed with true feeling.
AzerbajanI enjoyed parts of this song, but I didn't feel that the performance was of a consitently good quality. At times I thought the lead vocals were excellent, but at other times they seemed almost out of tune. Overall, I didn't think much of it really
SloveniaI enjoyed this piece until the singer came in, but the beginning of her bit didn't seem to fit somehow. The swaggering walk forwards didn't impress me.
IcelandSome talented singers amongst this group who performed a good, but not particulary striking song. Quite jolly, but I'm not sure if I liked it or not.
SpainI would havee liked to have understood the words to this song, as its catchy tune and rhythm weren't quite enough to make it for me. I would have liked it if they'd extended the drum solo, as the short snippet sounded quite promising.
UkraineThe singing was almost a backing track to the beautiful sandart going on behind it. A nice song as well.
SerbiaA very 60s feel to this song, the background of which unfortunately made me dizzy in places. I got the feeling that this would have been very good had I understood the words, but it lost something without them. Having said that, it had a feel-good feeling to it.
GeorgiaA very striking dress in this one- swirly green on a black background. A lot heavier than the other entries this year, with a little bit of rap thrown in. It felt almost like they wanted to ram their song into a high position with sheer volume.
What was your favourite song? Do you agree with my evaluations, or do you have different views?

This was because the country failed to make a coupon payment on two of their bonds within the 30-day grace period.
The lowered rating is the latest strike to the oil-rich but cash-strapped country that's under massive financial pressure.
One reason Venezuela has been surprisingly steadfast in making bond payments is because the government needs to protect the credibility of state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), its last lifeline for income.
Beijing and Moscow have emerged as Venezuela's most reliable sources of funding, with China owed $28 billion and Russian Federation $8 billion.
Participants at the meeting told AFP that officials said the government meant to form working groups to evaluate short- and mid-term debt renegotiation proposals, but gave no specifics.
Bondholders had told Reuters on Monday they had not yet received payments on the 2019 and 2024 bonds but remained unconcerned by the delay, which they said was partly due to increased bank vigilance of Venezuelan transactions in the wake of USA sanctions.
Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle to depart 'Suits'
Since Markle began seeing Prince Harry she has gotten more and more public attention, and the photo landed Adams in trouble. I would never have guessed that she would want to leave early but she did, and it ended up working out.
At the meeting with creditors, El Aissami read a statement blaming U.S. sanctions for delays to Venezuela's debt repayments.
The US has designated vice president El Aissami himself a drug kingpin with whom US entities are barred from dealing.
American investors can't participate in a restructuring anway, as sanctions prohibit them from receiving new bonds that Venezuela would issue.
A committee of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), meanwhile, is weighing whether holders of PDVSA debt with default insurance - credit default swaps - can collect payment. Nevertheless, his options are very limited.
Maduro is also under fire internationally for marginalizing the opposition, which controls the parliament, and stifling independent media.
"The positive climate in which this refinancing process began indicates that we will move forward and continue to build the welfare state that the people of Venezuela deserve", the official note added.


text: She started out as a 340 weatherby accumark, left hand, of course. But since I could not get it to shoot better than an inch and the fact that I already have a 338 ultra and a 338 edge, I decided to turn her into a 300 winny. After some consultation with "The Broz," this is what she ended up to be and designed from the ground up to shoot a 215 berger. . -----300 win mag built on a 340 accumark platform -----28" broughton 5c 4.1 contour barrel -----Terry Miller muzzlebrake -----timney trigger set to a pound -----murphy precision 20 moa rail -----nightforce 5.5 x 22 moar 50mm -----flatline ops level -----all gunsmithing done by Terry Miller of Twin Falls, Idaho. Now, the really nice feature of going from a 340 to a win mag is that I can load the win mag with a 215 berger to 3.720 and still fit in the magazine with just the boat tail into the powder area. Today was the first day in shooting the girl and she has some promise. I shot a total of 5 groups--15 rounds--and managed to get it under half moa. Best group was 73 grains H1000, rws brass, fed 215M, COAL 3.640. I could not chrony as my POS CED would not work. That magneto may be on the horizon........... I have always wanted to name a rifle after my previous units motto/sniper patch. Checkmate---the end. Randy

Sasaram: Scaling up his 'jungle raj' pitch, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today warned that RJD chief Lalu Prasad will "remote control" the affairs in the state if the grand alliance came to power in Bihar.
Addressing a rally in Sasaram, the constituency of Dalit leader late Jagjivan Ram, he also trained his guns on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for getting Jitan Ram Manjhi removed as Chief Minister of the state and accused him of "backstabbing" Dalits.
Manjhi, who now heads Hindustan Awam Morcha (Secular) and is an NDA ally, was also on the stage when Modi attacked Kumar on the issue of Dalits.
"His arrogance will defeat him. He has committed the sin of backstabbing the son of a Dalit. He backstabbed him for personal gains," Modi said.

A day after he asked the electorate in Bihar not to allow Prasad, 'possessed by a devil', to play any role in state affairs, he alleged that the RJD Chief now wants to control the government from outside since he cannot fight the polls himself.
"Why is Laluji out of the poll race this time? What has he done that he is not able to contest the polls and why has he been kept out of the race? What crime did he do that the Indian judicial system had to keep him out of the electoral race? He now wants to run Bihar through remote control. He says that he is a 'big boss' and he can make anyone dance to his tune," Modi said reminding people of the conviction of Prasad in the fodder scam.
BJP has been targeting the grand alliance saying with Prasad being a part of it, there will be 'jungle raj 2' in Bihar if the combine came to power.
Modi also referred to recent incident of firing at a policeman in the state saying that it shows that Bihar is under the grip of crime. He said the state has reported over 4000 cases of kidnapping from January to July this year.
Nitish Kumar is seeking a third term as Chief Minister on the ground that law and order in the state under him has improved.
Modi also targeted all the three parties of the alliance -- JDU, RJD and Congress -- on the issue of governance asking as to what development they carried out in last sixty years when they ruled the state.
Modi said all the parties in the grand alliance have fought each other at different points of time and have now come together only for power.
He exhorted the people to give the BJP-led NDA a chance and bring in development in the state saying it has suffered in the last 60 years.
"What work did you do in last 60 years," Modi asked the grand alliance partners even as he said that in next Lok Sabha polls in 2019 he will go before the people with a report card of what he has done in five years.
"How many youths migrated from the state. How many factories shut in the last 60 years. How many hospitals still don't have doctors and how many schools still don't have teachers. The only road to get rid of this jungle raj is vikas raj (development)," Modi said.

When planting the Christmas Poinsettia out in your yard after the holidays, make sure there is no light (like a porch light or street light) shining on it. In order for it to get the wonderful colored bracts next season, it needs a period of complete darkness.

|Absolutely right. Hetty.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others.

It has taken many months, and it's still not a polished product, but I feel really good starting our next school year with our new basement homeschool room!
We have a large home, with four bedrooms. Because we will soon have three children and my husband frequently works from home and needs a private office, we cannot afford an upstairs room for school work. In the past, we've been moving around: from the kitchen to the couch, to the play room. But we need a space to store all of the supplies and resources as well as a place to do school.
I struggled last year, as my toddler constantly wanted attention in the play room (which is a small semi-finished carpeted area in the basement) and my son wanted help with school work while he sat at a desk. It did not work to have him in the same room as the playing toddler!
In January, we began the transition in to making our unfinished "storage" area of the basement into a school room. Here are some preliminaries to keep in mind if you too want to have school in an unfinished concrete-floor basement. I also share some of the ways I've organized the area!
Make sure it drains during storms. We did have a water issue a few years ago, but with a sump pump and a back up sump pump, we'll likely not have such an issue again. I'd hate for school work to be damaged in a flood of any kind! We did have water almost all the way in to our playroom at that time, but timely noticing combined with quick work saved our storage items and the play room carpet! (Cost: sump pumps are not cheap, and neither are back up sump pumps. This was probably $700.)
Insulate the gaps. We did not insulate the cement walls. I will admit that this basement school room gets drafty and cold! That is what the portable heater we have is for. We did, however, add spray-foam insulation between the bottom of the next floor and the start of the concrete. This has helped make the space a little more consistent during the below-zero winter months of Chicago! (Cost: about $200. We had basement insulation added while we also had the insulation people out to reinsulate our attic.)
Paint the ceilings. Our basement ceilings in the storage side of the basement get as low as six feet from the floor due to duct work and piping. For this reason, we are not legally allowed to finish the ceilings. Obviously, this wouldn't work as a learning space for those taller than that, but for storage of homeschool items, my elementary aged kids, and myself, this is a great learning space. To get around the unslightly look of duct work and unfinished wood, my husband spray painted the ceilings black. I was surprised that he was right: black makes the ceiling seem to disappear! We do not notice it, and I believe the finished paint helps keep spiders to a minimum. (Cost: $250 for rental of a paint sprayer, paint, and supplies. Plus, my husband did the labor.)
Paint the walls. We applied cement primer to the cement walls and painted them white. This brightened the room and eliminated a good amount of the dust from the cement! (Cost: the cost of the paint and family labor!)
Put down a large rug. We used a shag rug that had been upstairs for years. It fills in the space nicely, and it does not feel like a basement when you walk into the room because of the warm floor and familiar rug! (Cost: $250 new, many years ago!)
To do: Seal the floors. We still need to seal the cement floors. I believe this would greatly reduce the dust that we are constantly sweeping up in the uncovered areas! The need for a school area versus the days it would take to paint and seal the floors was our battle. We chose to delay for now.
To do: Add more lighting. One thing I really dislike about the school room is the two single bulbs hanging from the ceiling with strings to turn on. This reminds me a basement. There are shadows everywhere, no matter where you sit.
As for our organization, our space has many uses. Plastic storage containers and shelves (these become costly, but many of these I've had for years) help provide structure to the organization. Old and inexpensive bookshelves plus plastic crates provide book storage. My desk is long plastic table, and my son's is a old used desk that has been passed around the family for decades. The tables and chairs for working are likewise repurposed furniture from elsewhere in our home. My daughter's plastic crafts table is from a garage sale.
- Toy storage. The semi-finished play room is connected to this unfinished basement by a door. This is where we store the toys! My hope is that we keep things put away once we are finished with them.
- Books storage. I use both cheap-o old bookcases and plastic crates along the wall to organize and store all the homeschool books we love.
- White board wall. Sometimes it helps to work things out together! My son is always more eager to write on the wall than on his papers.
- My son's desk and supplies for computer work. My son is learning to type, program in Scratch, and practice his Spanish using a computer.
- Table and chairs. This area is for both homeschooling and crafting/play-dough/painting. (In other words, it's not on the rug!). Easy clean up of messes underneath it, plenty of space to all work together. I'm excited for this work space.
- Homeschool curricula and manipulative storage. The curricula is stored in crates in and around my desk. No photo of that, as it desperately needs a bit more organization to be satisfying.
- My own office work space. This is where I plan the week, work on new products and freebies, and so forth. I have a long table behind my desk so I can turn around and get printed items, cut them, and then laminate quickly. It's so convenient.
See the photo gallery below!
Here are some of the items I've used:
- Toy storage labels from The Handmade Home. I used the blank ones she included to add graphics of my own. (I have more of these to make for the school supply area.)
- Hoy es … Spanish today center for the wall. Freebie from my own Shop (see the blog post).
- Large printable wall calendar and dates. Freebie from my own Shop.
- Weather Bear printable. Freebie from my own Shop (see the blog post)
- Spanish alphabet wall cards. Product for sale in my Shop. I printed them 4 to a page, instead of 2 to a page.
- School mailbox. See the blog post.
I won't say our school room is perfect. I have to finish sorting and organizing my corner of the room, and I need to print off more of the labels! Perfect for me would be furniture rather than plastic crates. But we have to prioritize, and I'm very pleased with how it's turned out for this year. I am getting excited to start up again!


text: We each had our own personal process for creating our Ignite presentation. However, there were tools that we used that helped many of us. We began our work with a Big Plan--thinking about how the 15 slides would work together and progress to give our message. Then we started to think about individual slides in clusters--finding images that were powerful and creating scripts to share our information. Since each slide was to last for 15 minutes, we used an online timer to check our time as we drafted. Once we finished our draft, we practiced in front of friends and listened to their feedback. Sometimes we recorded and made revisions based on the changes we noticed needed to be made. It was a long process but each step helped us share our message.

hello SF chowhounds,
i am a bit reluctant to admit that i am a newyorker as i read the previous threads lambasting the food and restaurant culture here in new york but i will admit that many of the points were accurate. however, since i was a poor grad student, poor office worker (notice a theme here) and am now a poor aspiring chef i do tend to rely on these message boards for insight into good, "affordable" food and tend to ignore all the comments about how the service has gone down at jean georges (as i can't afford to eat there, or daniel for that matter). with that said, i will be in SF for four days and would like to hit a wide variety of restaurants. essentially, i want to try stuff that i can't get anywhere else in places found nowhere but SF. money is tight so i don't want to spend more than 20-25 bucks person. incidentally, my partner in this adventure is not the most adventurous, so things like placentas and goat brain wouldn't be the best suggestions (although come to think of it, you can get goat brain at any pakistani place these days...). i hope that you guys can help me out. input would be much appreciated. thanks.

I need to interrupt my series to address this subject. I will get back to Obama, the Middle East, and Israel in my next post.
While I am encouraged by a few messages I have seen on social media, most of the American public does not see what is happening to this country. Despite my repeated explanations, citizens are still taking things at face value. I hope to correct that now.
The latest incident occurred in Chicago. A "mentally ill" man threatened his family with an aluminum bat, and they called the police. Law enforcement came, ended up shooting the man, and in the process accidently killed the next door neighbor who was there ostensibly to let the police in when they arrived.
Let the riots commence.
The narrative has already begun at the time of this writing. "Why are the police shooting first?"
Let me back up. Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization backed by the new Black Panther Party and funded by George Soros. They are opportunistic. Unlike ISIS, they do not need to recruit suicidal maniacs. There are enough black criminals that it is only a matter of time before an incident occurs, and when it does this terrorist group pounces.
My first clue that something was really wrong was Ferguson. During the Michael Brown riots...err, protests, I began seeing "Free Palestine!" and "Jews! Christ Killers!" signs. What was worse were the ISIS flags, and that is when I knew. So, I dug into it, and here are the connections I found (just a handful of articles; readers can do their own searches for more information):
Sheriff Clarke himself has made the connection, though he is thinking the ties will occur at some future date when in reality they have been connected all along:
Does anyone remember what I wrote about the '60's riots? The subversive activities engineered by the DGI (Cuban intelligence) which actually began with the KGB? Does anyone remember that Chicago was (and is) a hotbed of KGB activity (see specifically Part 2 "Terrorism at Home")?
Just as in the Middle East, what we are seeing here in America is NOT what is actually happening. People are being manipulated, their emotions played, their natural inclinations toward anarchy encouraged, and the result is Ferguson, Baltimore, St. Louis, NYC, Mall of America, North Lake, Kentucky, Chicago, etc.
Speaking of which, do not take that mosque fire in Houston at face value, either. I will not be surprised to learn that someone affiliated with CAIR set it to foment more Moslem-victimization mentality.
Now, I cannot state with certainty exactly what is happening, although I have my suspicions. It is obvious that ISIS is involved, aided by Barry, his so-called Department of Justice, and our so-called Department of Homeland Security. That much is clear, at least to me. But I also know that at least one foreign intelligence agency (likely more than one) is fanning the flames.
Let me drive this point home. The FBI admits we have two dozen terrorist training camps in the United States, the largest one being just outside of Nashville. That is just what they ADMIT. I have a source in British intelligence who says that number is closer to a couple hundred. Regardless, what is being taught in these camps? Bomb-making skills? Or, that combined with subversive tactics a la the Weather Underground? And, who is doing the training?
When I know more, I will post it immediately.
Meanwhile, be on guard. 2016 is going to be a bumpy ride.
Wednesday, December 30th update on the Houston mosque fire:
Am I good, or what?

To effectively handicap any race you need to understand what it is likely to look like. How fast will it be run? Will it favor speed horses or closers? Will your horse be helped or hurt by the race shape? Will any horses have a particular advantage or obstacles that will get in their way of running their best race? In some races the pace scenario is tough to figure out or could look a number of different ways. The Preakness pace scenario, though, is much more straightforward. On paper, at least.
The Early Pace
Free $60 in Member Preakness Picks No Obligation Click Here
There isn't a horse that absolutely has to have the lead, and there aren't two that will go to great lengths to try to win, so we aren't likely to see a deadly pace duel up front. We could see a reasonably fast pace but likely not a crazy one.
Two horses are the likely leaders - heavy favorite Always Dreaming and new challenger Conquest Mo Money. Both have tended to be up front in their recent races, but neither has needed to lead, and both actually seem a little more comfortable in second place. They can't both be in second, of course, so it will be interesting to see which horse leads. Will Conquest Mo Money look to set the pace and keep the Derby champ off guard? Or will he make Always Dreaming do the early work in an attempt to wear him down?
The Stalkers
The two most likely stalkers who will be behind the leaders are second-favorite Classic Empire and raw-but-talented new contender Cloud Computing. Neither needs to be here but would prefer to be. Classic Empire won from further back in the Arkansas Derby and was left much further back due to the disaster of the Derby start, but he runs his best when he sits behind the leaders. And Cloud Computing has been somewhat further back twice in three starts, but he was at his best in the Gotham when he ran a stalking trip.
What makes this group interesting is that both are serious contenders in this race. In the Derby Always Dreaming won in part because he was able to run exactly the race he wanted, and he was never really challenged legitimately. These horses will have the responsibility to make sure that the Derby winner doesn't get a free ride again here. It will be hard enough to beat him anyway, so they can't afford to make it too easy on him.
Following Up
The largest group of horses will likely be in the back group, looking to bide their time until the opportunity to unleash their one move occurs.
Gunnevera closes from the clouds and is a good bet to be at the back of the pack early on. Three of his last five races have been in 10-horse fields like this one is set to be, and he has been 10th early on each time. He has won two of those three races.
Hence was at the back of the pack in the Derby but ideally would like to be a couple horses further forward next time. Lookin at Lee has ever had more than two horses behind him early on in the last six outings, so he should be well back as well. Term of Art has been last at the first call in his last four starts, so he'll be well back as well. So, that makes four horses that are more likely to be last than first early on. Things are going to be crowded back there.
Senior Investment and Multiplier both like to move from the back as well -- but not as far back as the others. They are likely to be the bridge behind the stalkers and the deep closers.
With so many horses looking to close, it will be very interesting to see what the early pace is. It could be in the interest of the horses up front to contain the pace early on because that will make it very tough for the closers to close. If that happened then it would come down to the best horse up front to get the win.
Putting It Together
I expect Conquest Mo Money to lead Always Dreaming through comfortable early fractions - something in the neighborhood of 47 seconds for the half mile. The race will be at risk of being boring through the first minute or so because no one will want to move too soon. They'll just be sitting and waiting. The first crack should be when the stalkers start to move forward. That will fire up Always Dreaming, and we should have a heck of a battle on our hands. If things set up this way then the winner will be among those top four, with the closers left to mop up a piece or two of the exotics at best.
