I've done alot of awful things in my twenties and thirties and even forties because of anger and stress I am now 56 and my past haunts me. I was diagnosed with Depression and PTSD which could be used as an excuse for all my violent outbursts. I have learnt from my Doctors and mental health team that my childhood was torturous very violent very verbally abusive and if my parents was alive today they would be doing decades behind bars. Today smacking a child can find a parent facing the judge and rightly so.
Parents must realize the danger of abuse the harm it can do to so many people because a child facing daily abuse can and probably will go on to abuse and even murder. My parents took their frustrations out on me in so many ways and it destroyed my life and I destroyed others lives . Abuse is like a virus and I hope with the new laws in place will make people feel much more safe.. I only wish I was born later as only now government has realized the damage abuse can be to vulnerable people. I am so sorry so guilty for what I did but my parents never ever said sorry even on their death beds I wish they were alive to see the advertising and prison sentences that is now given to abusers.

The Failure of Two-Factor?
I think
article by Bruce Schneier may be mis-titled: it should be "The Failure
of Understanding
of Two-Factor Authentication", because what it is discussing at its core is the fact that two-factor is not the panacea it has been sold as for resolving the problem of inappropriate authentication (where I have access to your account/system under your security context, whether you've allowed me to or not). I simply do not buy that Mr. Schneier would believe that two-factor auth is a failure because it would force hackers to find other avenues of attack: in fact, by many definitions that is a form of success. At times the best we can hope for is to make their job harder, if only to buy ourselves a little time.
Putting the Club on your car doesn't make your car impregnable, it just makes a car thief look at the next car down the block which doesn't have one; sometimes that's all you want (or are willing to spend money for). All we want in this case is that if one of the company executives accesses their web-based email from a Kinko's public workstation with a handy malware keystroke-logger on it, the logger captures information that will be useless for an attacker to subsequently log in to that email account. That's the problem I'm trying to solve with two-factor authentication, and I won't try to solve phishing or social engineering attacks, and I won't even attempt to solve bank account access with it, because that's not what the solution is being designed for.
In a layered security model, and when used with a clear understanding of the scope of the problem it is trying to address, I think two-factor authentication presents a viable and (at least recently) affordable solution to this *specific* problem. It has "failings" only if you try to make it protect the components of the identity transaction that it was never supposed to protect, and for which there are other solutions that, in combination, reduce the total risk to a point where the business benefit is strong enough to make it acceptable.
That last point is one of the keys for the discussion comments here: no transaction of this sort is completely risk-free and secure. However, removing the capability to do business because I am so paranoid about security that I make it impossible to conduct the transaction is a self-induced Denial of Service with 100% risk potential.

Yesterday (May 21) Los Angeles voters went to the polls to not only determine a new mayor but also a new city attorney, a new L.A. Controller, city council, board of education and several ballot measures. Before yesterday's mayoral run off, the talk around Los Angeles about the mayoral race was quiet and before Garcetti and Greuel, became the two who would runoff, L.A. saw the quietest mayoral race as not many voters turned out to vote for new leadership for their city. So, why is it that L.A voters are not so quick to vote for their local elections. Did Gracetti or Greuel, or the previous mayoral candidates not have what it takes to light that fire to get voters out to vote. Or is it that voters just don't see local politics as exciting as state or national elections. Which ever it is, Los Angeles residents need to get out and vote for their own local elections just as they do for the state and national elections because the local elections are just as important. You can not expect change from the state or federal government if local elected officials and ballot measures are not taken as serious. Those elected locally work with those in the state and sometimes federal, so you see local elections are just as important. A ballot measure that is passed or not passed by one city may determine if it goes on a ballot for another city or the state.
For Garcetti and Greuel, they ran an expensive race ($33 million) as both attacked each other with attack ads with billboards all over the city of Los Angeles and commercials but it was Eric Garcetti who came out on top to run the city of Los Angeles with a resident count of 3.8 million and has just begin to show signs of lifting itself out of a five-year economic mire — one that triggered perennial budget deficits, layoffs and cuts in basic services such as street paving and tree trimming, this according to the LA Times. Eric Garcetti also becomes the first Jewish mayor of the city and the youngest in over a decade.
Greuel, who if had been elected would of been the first woman mayor and for a time last night saw herself with a 2 percentage lead but as the night went on she saw that lead disappear as Garcetti gained a 8 percentage point lead. As the night rolled on and at 1:42 am early Wednesday morning, Greuel with 46%, and Garcetti with 54% of the vote; Greuel called Garcetti to concede the race.
According to the Los Angeles Times a source close to the Greuel campaign said, "It was positive." Telling the times that Greuel told Garcetti, "Congratulations. You did a great job. I'll officially concede tomorrow, but it looks like the results are in."
The source continued with, "When there was evidence that the absentees weren't exactly as everyone thought, you begin to think, if that's wrong, what else is wrong? You hold out, you wait for the results to come in and wait for the votes to be counted. That's what Wendy Greuel did."
In the end Greuel did hold out but as the results continued to come in from the precincts, Greuel saw her chances of winning the LA Mayoral race disappear.
Also, Los Angeles voters voted out Los Angeles City Atty. Carmen Trutanich, and will now see former Assemblyman Mike Feuer as the new Los Angeles city Attorney.
As for LA Controller, Ron Galperin has defeated Dennis P. Zine, Gilbert Cedillo has defeated Jose A. Gardea for LA City Council. Cindy Montanez, Curren D. Price, Jr., and Mitch O'Farrell have all won for their districts. Monica Ratliff narrowly won in her bid for the board of education and Nancy Pearlman (I) defeated David Vela in their race for the L.A. Community College District Board of Trustees.
As for the ballot measures Los Angeles voters voted yes for proposition C: Support limit on corporate rights, political spending as well as a yes votes on Proposition D: Cap marijuana dispensaries and raise tax, Initiative Ordinance E: Cap marijuana dispensaries but voted no on Initiative Ordinance F: which would allow existing and new marijuana dispensaries and raise tax.

Auto Insurance – Dead or Alive?
Because car insurance rates vary widely by company and place, the only approach to get the least expensive rate is to receive estimates from many businesses. Volvo's car subscription will let you upgrade to some other automobile every 12 months too, providing you their latest car every time by way of your subscription.

If you're scared you won't have the ability to endure because of financing, pick up the telephone book and begin calling shelters. At the event you had the insurance policy at the ideal time of a collision, your policy covers any damages or accidents ( such as continuing medical care ), even in the event that you cancel the policy in another date. The very last thing you need when dealing with all the strain of an automobile accident is an insurer that can't be attained, won't answer questions and may offer you the run-around the moment it is time to allow them to pay a claim.

In California, as an example, a DUI remains on your record for ten decades. Certainly, one of our licensed agents will answer any queries that you have, speak about your quotation choices, and even permit you to buy a DUI insurance plan over the telephone.

The New Fuss About Auto Insurance
Whether you're searching for an insurance coverage or you are already one of our clients, it's important to be aware of the different varieties of coverages that write a policy.

The Witchfire Trilogy
Great Fathers
The dwarves do not have a single patron deity. Instead, they worship a group of divine forefathers, the thirteen paragons that spawned their race. These divine Great Fathers founded the original Thirteen Families millennia ago, and their blood is said to provide all dwarves with their legendary fortitude. The Great Fathers' most direct descendants are called the Stone Lords, and these powerful and respected individuals sit at the head of the dwarven Moot today as they have since the first days. Being strong with the Great Fathers' blood, the Stone Lords are unusually hardy and live a very long time, often surpassing two hundred winters.
Each Great Father is, practically speaking, a demigod, though dwarven folk only worship them as a lawful good unity. An individual Great Father is never singled out as a cleric's sole patron, for this is considered disrespectful and ignorant. The Fathers as a group gave life to dwarvenkind, and as a group they will always be worshipped. Nonetheless, each Father has his own personality, holidays, parables and sphere of influence, and it is common to say a prayer or a curse in a particular Father's name as the situation warrants it.

Lieutenant Gregory Morgan MD
Name Gregory Morgan MD
Position Chief Medical Officer
Rank Lieutenant
Basic Information
Physical Appearance
|220 lbs.
|Hair Color
|Eye Color
|Light Blue
|Physical Description
|Gregory is someone that you would pass in a corridor without any reaction. He has an air of eccentrics that seems to follow him at all times. Morgan has served under many captains and changed his look many times, slowly opting for more serious composers every commission. He has dirty blonde hair which is kept short or slicked back depending on the occasion or time for preparation. Many have noted his hauntingly chilling blue eyes which give a serious composure no matter what mood he is really in. Morgan has a smile which will light up a room and a frown that puts a damper over any occasion.
Personality & Traits
|General Overview
|Gregory sports a personality that can sometimes fall through the cracks. Someone may have to work hard to notice him but when they do take the time, he has a rather bland personality. He comes off across on first impression as a workaholic. He would rather spend all night testing treatments than sleep, or eat for that matter. He also takes his work very seriously. However loyal he may be to Starfleet, he makes it extremely clear that he is not interested in Military engagements, he is a man of medicine and nothing else and never will be anything else. However, when he is off duty he lightens up a little. He is a very compassionate person and cares for the well being of Borg as well as human.
|Strengths & Weaknesses
|Strengths: Doctor Morgan is a man of great stature in the Medical World and for good reason, he is truly the model medicine man. He is hard working and very devoted to the field of medicine spending a lot of his time experimenting and inventing and documenting.
Weaknesses: Perhaps Gregory is a little too interested in medicine. As fore mentioned he is the ultimate workaholic. He often deprives himself of sleep and social interaction just for the sake of his job. He is also a little moody with times when he is expected to do the work of a soldier, while he is not a pacifist, he would never take a life.
|Although Gregory is not a man of much ambition, he has done a lot that ambitious people would kill to do. He has served with Starfleet Medical Headquarters as an Admiral's Assistant. He has visited five planets as a guest of honor and has met many important people in the galaxy. However fame is not what he strives for, he really only has one goal or ambition which is to be the best doctor he can be and that is all. He feels that material ambitions are petty.
|Hobbies & Interests
|Doctor Morgan has many interests. Medicine being the most obvious and driving interest he has. He has studied the medicine and medical practices of many different cultures. He spends a lot of time experimenting new or developmental sciences. Morgan is also interested in zoology being an animal lover. His workplace is often a regular zoo serving as a rather unexpected counter balance to his professional attitude. He is a scholarly person who dabbles in almost everything. Foreign cultures, astrophysics, and Earth history are all subjects that Gregory might as well be an authority on.
|Romantic Relationships
|Other Family
Personal History
|Personal History
|Gregory Morgan was found on the steps of the Gregory Morgan orphanage in San Fransisco. He was left with no record as to who his parents were. More importantly, what his parents were. Although he seemed human enough, the tests proved inaccurate on one so young with such underdeveloped DNA. The owners of the orphanage decided to name him Gregory Morgan after the founder of the facility. GM Orphanage was a high quality business with about 200 orphans taking residence in it.
Morgan didn't make a lot of friends growing up. The other kids weren't too interested in making friends and Gregory didn't try too hard to. He mostly kept to himself in his dormitory on the top floor of the orphanage. From there he had an excellent view of Starfleet Headquarters. He would sit, read, and watch shuttles go in and out of the docks all day and sometimes night.
Once, while the orphanage was out on an "orienteering" trip to the forests Morgan found a smooth white rock that he kept for whatever reason. When he returned to the orphanage he hid it under his bed and kept it there for months. After about 6 months the 'rock' apart and a small alien reptile emerged from it. He immediately notified the orphanage supervisors who found out after about a month of growing the creature was determined to be a Ba'Ku turtle. How this exotic six legged reptile ended up on Earth was a mystery. After much convincing he was allowed to keep the turtle as a pet.
He named the turtle snappy because… It snapped at him a lot, simply. Snappy became Morgan's only friend and Gregory quickly became known as "That weird kid with the alien turtle". Morgan didn't care to encourage childish gossip though. He simply stuck with Snappy who still lives with him today.
Morgan was proficient in his studies, particularly Science and he received a scholarship to Sarek University in southern California. He received a Medical Degree and a license to practice medicine. Morgan decided to join Starfleet Medical, (a building located very close to headquarters) as a physician's assistant. Doctor Morgan was a competent nurse and a very devoted physician. He applied for Starfleet Academy after 2 years of serving enlisted and was accepted.
He spent his first year of Starfleet academy trying to adjust to the military style of life. Morgan was simply a lover not a fighter and that could sometimes bring his loyalty to the Federation in question. All things considered he was still a model cadet and showed great promise for future leadership positions within Starfleet medical.
It was his second year that he really shined. He obviously chose the Medical path as his area of study. His instructors noticed just how fantastic he was at the medical profession. He was caring and curious as a student of the field and exactly what Starfleet Medical was looking for in new recruits. He didn't know it but Gregory was closely monitored by the Admiralty for the rest of his academy career.
The third year is when cadets leave the academy and get some real application experience. While most cadets chose deep space training, he was invited to Vulcan to study medicine under some of the biggest names in modern science. He joyously accepted of course. He traveled to the Central Vulcan Institute of Medicinal Research as a Research and Development assistant. He actually enjoyed the company of Vulcans in some ways more than that of humans. They were quite, professional, and above all logical. They didn't let their emotions get in the way of medicine and Morgan learned a lot from their stern bed side manner.
He spent his fourth year mostly preparing for his future career in Starfleet. He graduated near the top of his class with honors and recognition. Almost the week he graduated he was contacted by Admiral Beu'Shin who offered him a job as Admiral's aide. Beu'Shin served in Starfleet medical as one of her most trusted officers and he saw a lot of potential in the young Doctor Morgan.
Morgan served several long year filling water glasses and organizing files and while he became very good friends with the Admiral he worked for, he just didn't feel right doing this. He knew that while he listened to admirals bicker about new vaccinations, there were real doctors out in space administering these vaccinations and risking their lives to save others. These were the real doctors and he wanted to be one. Morgan came to Beu'Shin about this and while he felt that the young physician's decision was rash he respected him and was able to get him a position on a respected vessel the USS Growler. She was a defiant class that specialized in emergency response.
With the rank of Lieutenant J.G. and position of Assistant Chief Medical Officer he served for about 6 months. During a particularly dangerous mission into deep space the Growler came under attack by an unknown but technologically advanced species. During the fight the bridge was destroyed and all the senior officers on the bridge were lost. With the ship in utter chaos and deck by deck losing life support Morgan made a difficult decision to stay in sickbay and work to get the wounded back on their feet while everyone else made for the escape pods. He managed to get himself, 3 nurses, and two wounded people onto a shuttle craft and escape the mysterious site.
Admiral Beu'Shin had an "I-Told-You-So" moment with the rest of Starfleet medical as they had doubts about thrusting Morgan into command so soon but now any doubts had diminished. Newly promoted Lieutenant Morgan was assigned to the USS Spark, a galaxy class that served as a multi purpose deep space cruiser.
The Chief Medical officer did well aboard the Spark but he had some trouble making friends on such a large ship. He simply retired to sickbay and didn't leave unless it was necessary. This made him a slightly worse doctor as an important part of the job is knowing how to orientate one's self with the crew. During one of the Spark's missions they came across a stranded Andorian scout ship. He was part of the team that went aboard and helped ferry it back to Andorian. Andorian Officials invited him and his team to visit Andoria as guests of honor. While there he realized how backwards the Andorian medical society was and he opted to stay on Andoria and help them establish medical research facilities they so desperately needed.
From here he decided to join the crew of the newly commissioned USS Jupiter, a evacuation ship which was one of the only ones in the fleet. He served aboard the Jupiter for 2 years as her trusted Chief Medical/Second officer. But disaster struck, (at least to him), when the Jupiter was outfitted with the latest weaponry and recommissioned as an Anti-Pirate/War vessel. Outraged he immediately arranged a meeting with Starfleet Medical's admiralty.
He was outrages that his beloved ship was now being used as an instrument of death, death being something that he fought so hard to deplete. He succeeded in making a scene and making himself appear immature during the meeting. When threatened with losing his rank he tore off his lieutenant commander pips stating that, "Rank means nothing to me" and he left the room in a dramatic fashion.
It took a lot of convincing on Admiral Beu'Shin's part to convince him to re-join Starfleet. The Admiral offered him a Chief Medical officer position with the latest physician's equipment and the most advanced sickbay in the fleet. After having some time to cool down and think, he accepted the offer and was transferred to the USS Shangai as her Chief Medical Officer.

When their first suspect turns up dead and Charlie Palmer, Tully's ex-partner-turned-private-eye arrives, Cross is unimpressed. He doesn't like Charlie much. But Tully does. A lot. She always did.
And when their friendship turns into something more is Cross just a bit jealous? Or is there something more sinister going on? Something Charlie's not telling Tully?

Photo Diary: New York, New YorkWednesday, June 28, 2017
Finally, I was able to live out my Gossip Girl dreams and sit at the top of the Met steps, walk in Central Park like 27 dresses, and eat at Olive Garden in Times Square like Kimmy Schmidt. Everywhere we went there was something going on. A ballet company was creating a photo shoot, weddings bells were ringing left and right, and tourists were snapping away endlessly with their selfiie sticks.
What shocked me the most about my time in New York was my love for New Jersey. Now I know what you're thinking. Jersey, really? I know, but brace yourself. My TLC loving family wouldn't have understood my life choices if I hadn't visited Buddy's bakery in Holboken New Jersey. Little did I know that the city where Frank Sinatra was born would seem like an oasis a ferry ride away from the city.
New York was the city that made me feel as if all of my dreams could come true and has me excited for what the future has in store for me. Here's to dreaming about the city that never sleeps.

Who doesn't love cookies, right? This is another recipe I thought I would try out before our vacation adventure and I am glad I did. I wasn't originally planning to make multiple types of cookies before our trip, but since someone Ryan new would be picking us up when we landed in Washington at the little airport in Quincy, I got the great idea to make him a "thank you!" cookie box. Like I said, who doesn't like cookies! Cookies make everything better. At least I like to think so.
These cookies are the perfect bite of chocolate, coconut and white chocolate. You get a little bite and crunch from the coconut, you get the sweetness from the white chocolate chips and then you get the richness from the cocoa powder. Oh and don't let me forget about walnuts! If you enjoy chocolate and coconut as much as I do (hello mounds bars!), you've got to try these. The cookies came out a bit thinner then I thought, but the flavor was spot on. I think next time I make these, I will opt not to use the cookie scoop so I can make it more of a drop cookie and so it will be a little bigger and thicker. That and how fun would it be to make these with almonds instead of walnuts. It would be like an almond joy. How delicious would that be? I can't even remember the last time I had an almond joy. Although, there is a recipe on one of my favorite blogs Joy the Baker that I can't wait to try - homemade almond joy! Okay, I am getting off topic again. See how easily distracted I get when I talk about sweet treats? Back to cookies.
|love love white chocolate
|butter and sugar creaming.
|add in cocoa powder!
|I think I made the scoop too small - next time bigger scoop = bigger cookie
|cookies done and cooling.
Double Chocolate Coconut Cookies (www.marthastewart.com)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups white-chocolate chunks
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups white-chocolate chunks
1 3/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Mix into butter mixture on low speed until well combined. Stir in chocolate, coconut, and walnuts.
Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop batter onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks 2 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 1 week.
This recipe makes a TON of cookies, about 5 dozen to be exact. I did not want that many cookies around my house, so I halved this one. It still made quite a few cookies. If you decide to make the full batch, these awesome cookies store great in the freezer. You can store them in Ziploc bags or Tupperware. They should last up to three months in the freezer, but I can bet that they will all be gone well before that. Especially when you find out they taste just as good frozen or after a quick zap in the microwave.

Nice one! I like the feeling of ambiguity.
Sharon, I just love the way you developed this image. The only thing I find a bit distracting -- looking at the image microscopically -- is her upper back. Its color and shading doesn't seem to flow with the rest of her jacket.
A beautiful colour palette. Subtle. Understated. Harmonious.
Wonderful stuff.
I love your style...
Thank you Mike, Karm, Donald and Richard,
Karm...I totally take on board what you say about the jacket. ... think it had a grey hood or cowl attatched. I went back after reading your comment and edited with some burning and cloning but when I loaded the 2 up to flickr side by side it just looked too heavy and the one with the grey 'splodge' featured here seemed to fit well enough with the watercolour feel of the processing. I think I will have this printed up and reserve final judgement until I see how it looks 'in the hand'. Thank you so much for your comments.
I like it... totally Sharon. I have not seen you post in a while, hoping all is well.
Thank you Joe..nice to hear from you.
My father isn't enjoying the best of health at the moment but I am still clicking away! Hope you and yours are well.
Your photography is art that also tells a story....
I think it is an exellent use of colour, Sharon. When I first opened this image, I was disturbed by the figure on the left. Initially the lack of detail around the face had me thinking that it was a character out of Star Trek etc. But, then I latched onto it...
Thank you so much Christine.
Greg...yes, that's where the 'Anonymous' of the title comes in.
Simply brilliant. A large print would dress any wall.

Happy Dance x 3
I've done my happy dance 3 times since last night. As I said I sold my pincushion plus a set of felt beads I made and now my little chameleon pin I posted a few days back. It's the most sales I've had in one day plus I had my 50th sale. WOO-HOO!!!!! I know it doesn't seem like much, but I'm half way to 100. I'm getting all these together, so I haven't finished anything new, but will work on that later today.
Well the first half of the "so you think you can dance" finale was on tonight. It's going to be a tough choice. I really like Joshua and I put my votes in. We'll find out tomorrow.

Yeah after Sean watched the movie Jack the Giant Slayer, he's like to play with sword. Yeah don't you think movie can influence children? Anyway we need to watch them and explain to them that swords are dangerous.
Toy swords I would check if it is safe to play, if it is broken I just throw it away.
Boys love swords?

Coktel Vision, 1989
One of the earliest Coktel Vision titles, Emmanuelle is adapted from Arsan's famous novel of same name. In this luxuriant and enchanting backdrop you must gain the attraction of Emmanuelle, the girl of your dreams before she flies back to Europe but to attract her to yourself you must increase your erotic potentials by applying the three rules of eroticism and you better hurry before your own ambient eroticism start taking over you. The game is set in the heart of beautiful Brazil, Rio with its beautiful beaches, women and carnivals.
Emmanuelle is a game that will take your breath away with its stunning Enhanced graphics and internal PC sound. The title is hard to find but one may try his luck at trading zones or old games' vendors.

The Netherlands authorities have allowed the extension of United Parcel Service's offer period for the proposed acquisition of TNT Express, a joint statement by UPS and TNT Express said.
The Dutch government is permitting Atlanta-based UPS to further extend its offer period for the takeover of Dutch package delivery company TNT Express until one week after clearances from the European Commission (EC) and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) have been obtained, but not later than February 28, 2013.
Both companies said they expect the competition clearances from the EC and MOFCOM to be the last material ones received.
The required competition clearances will not be obtained by the expiry of the current offer period, which ends on November 9, 2012. As previously announced, UPS and TNT Express expect the proposed acquisition to close in early 2013.
Last month, the two logistics firms received a statement of objections from the EC questioning the impact of their intended merger on the competition in the international express small package market in Europe.
In March this year, UPS agreed to purchase TNT Express for EUR5.16 billion ($6.77 billion). The buy-out of Europe's second largest package delivery service by the world's biggest would pave the way for greater access by UPS in the European market.
But approval by the EC of the proposed merger has dragged, as the commission continues its thorough review of the plan amid worries of antitrust violations. The acquisition will reduce to three the top four players in the European express delivery sector. The two others are DHL Express and FedEx Express.

For more Teen Wolf recaps, click here.
Everyone's supernatural and almost everyone's coupled up.
Malia has trouble with school because she was an actual coyote for nearly a decade and no one thought she should maybe enter a lower grade.
We discovered that Eichen House, the nightmarish excuse for a mental health facility, is also home/detention centre for supernatural villains. After Peter Hale turned out to be behind an evil plot again, he got the privilege of becoming an inpatient. He's currently rooming with Dr Valack, who has a creepy Cyclops eye.
Deputy Parrish found out he was definitely fireproof, maybe immortal, but not what breed of Pokémon he was. Lydia tried to help him figure it out, with a possible side-order of romance.
Scott (now a True Alpha) turned Liam into his first Beta. It was mostly an accident to prevent Liam being killed but now there's a beautiful father-son bond between Scott and Liam that I will cherish forever.
Everyone took a road trip to Mexico. Things got weird.
This beautiful, majestic hunk of a man told Scott he would make a good Alpha and then MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM MY LIFE.
Eichen House. Night. A crow flies around to emphasise the creepiness.
Obligatory shower scene because Eichen House has the best hot water ever. Whoever's in this shower has got some serious bruising. Is it self-harm? Is it run-of-the-mill Eichen House mistreatment? Is it—is that Lydia? WHAT IS WRONG, MY PRECIOUS BABY? WHY ARE YOU CATATONIC?
Some evil woman/Eichen House employee is watching Lydia shower and she should really find a new job because she doesn't seem to believe that people in mental health facilities might have, you know, mental health issues. She escorts Lydia back to her CELL. Why is she in a cell? What the heck happened? Oh, God, she's in the supernatural ward, isn't she?
Evil Eichen Lady buggers off, leaving Evil Eichen Man to inject Lydia with some drugs. He makes sure to do it in the most psychotic and sexual way possible.
But it doesn't MATTER because as soon as he gets too close, Lydia sits bolt upright and enters FULL BANSHEE MODE. Heck yeah.
Lights bursting everywhere, Lydia's out of her cell, she's fighting two orderlies like she's Black Widow. I was waiting so long for her to get her powers sorted and she's done it! I am so down with this.
Lydia manages to escape into the pouring rain, but before she can go too much further, she's confronted by a TWIN. A TWIN IS BACK. No, bro. Bro, why? Which twin are you? That's got to be Ethan, right? But his face is too hard. Is that … is Aiden back from the dead? Whoever this twin is, he tells Lydia that her treatment isn't finished.
As Lydia is beaten into submission with electric cattle prods, she begs for her freedom.
LYDIA: Please, I have to tell them! They're all going to die. My friends. They're all going to die.
First things first: DEREK HALE is no longer in the credits. I know he's not a regular on the show anymore but why must we be deprived of his shirtlessness?
Other new things: Liam has graduated to a regular. Congrats, you adorable Golden Retriever.
Some Scott and Kira make-out action. And a look at this season's baddies, who I know are supposed to be called the Doctors but they look to me like something out of The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances so I'm going to call them Empty Children until I decide otherwise.
This episode is dedicated to Cyndi Garcia-Posey (Tyler Posey's mum) who lost her battle with breast cancer in late 2014.
Scott and Stiles are hanging out at Lookout Point, under the romantic light of a full moon, and they're looking for apartments for college which—they're not even in college. But apparently 'no one gets left behind' and they're all going to be roomies when they do get into college so why not look at rentals that probably won't even be available in a year's time? They mention Lydia totally calmly, which I guess means that the pre-title was a flash forward or they're not aware that she's been taken prisoner. WE SHALL SEE.
Scott breaks the romantic mood to meditate on Deaton's season 3 speech on regression to the mean. The last six months have been good, but not great. No one's tried to kill them. So things are going to get really good again soon or really bad. Lightning strikes in the distance to indicate that it's going to get really bad.
In the background, Liam is chained to a tree because he's still a newbie werewolf and he apparently ran around naked last full moon.
He reckons he's in complete and total control and anyone with eyes as big as Scott's (and werewolf polygraph abilities) should be able to see that that is a lie. Sure enough, Liam is unchained from the tree and he silently looks down at his hands, which are red with blood from digging his nails into them.
At the sheriff's station, Deputy Parrish is answering a dozen phone calls from people freaking out about a storm. Meanwhile, Parrish is freaking out because apparently he's no longer Sheriff's golden boy and doesn't get to go out and play with the big kids help with fallen power lines.
As a compromise, Sheriff sends Parrish off to check out a noise complaint at a creepy and seemingly empty house. Lightning strikes to emphasise the creepiness.
Parrish checks out the house. If someone wants to sell this place they should probably sweep the leaves off the floor and pick up that chandelier, tbh. Who just leaves a chandelier lying on the ground? Parrish hears a noise in the basement. It seems like there's someone trapped on the other side of a brick wall. Parrish tries to break down the wall with some flimsy piece tyre iron or something. It's pretty ineffectual but some black goop immediately starts seeping out of the wall and sprays him in the face.
Then the WHOLE WALL EXPLODES and SOMETHING COMES OUT OF IT. Something covered in black goop with the blue eyes of a werewolf that's done some killing of innocents. And he STABS PARRISH IN THE STOMACH. BACK THE FUCK OFF.
Oh, wait. Parrish's eyes glow gold, then the other dude's eyes glow gold and he says, 'You're not a werewolf. But you're something.' What the actual heck is going on. He promises to let Parrish live if he tells him where Scott is. Parrish says he's never heard of Scott.
Stiles drives along some road with Scott and Liam. The Jeep dies from some (possibly electrical) issue. From the look of it, most of the engine is duct tape now. As they're duct taping the engine, Liam starts seeing lightning strike the road multiple times. Lightning strikes near Scott and Stiles before they decide to get in the Jeep and bugger off.
Elsewhere, Malia is helping her dad (he's back?) lift a fallen tree and casually showing off her cute new haircut and extreme supernatural strength in front of strangers.
The boys pick Malia up and she makes out with Stiles in front of her dad because she cares nothing for anyone's safety. Or maybe because her father's been absent for an entire season and she cares nothing for his idle threats about owning a gun. Once she's in the Jeep, Stiles and Scott start asking Malia if she's heard anything. Apparently she's went to summer school to try and improve her grades so she could be a senior this year. She hasn't heard anything yet; her phone's been on the fritz because of the storm.
Mama McCall heads home, yelling to a not-there Scott that she's been called back into the hospital. COINCIDENTALLY, Goop Guy is hanging out in Casa McCall because they probably still haven't invested in security screens. Come on, guys. It's been five seasons.
Kira is sitting in a traffic jam with her parents. Everyone's phones are not working because of the storm and she's full on standing on the roof of her car to try and get a signal.
Some random dude nods at her in solidarity.
She gets in the car and finally gives some details on why everyone's heading to the school. It's for something called Senior Scribe, they're not supposed to tell anyone about it, and it's probs not vandalism. Kira's prepared to walk, until it starts pouring. When that happens, sitting in a car with her parents seems more enticing.
Scott takes Liam to the hospital so that his stepdad can babysit him. Except that Liam's stepdad is a doctor and if he's at the hospital it's probably because he's busy doctoring. Scott is not as dumb as he pretends because he totally knows that Liam's having trouble with the full moon. Liam fesses up, showing Scott his still-bloody hands. Scott gives a fatherly lecture on how Liam is not failing, he's just still learning and one day he's going to grow up and be a big scary werewolf even if things are hard right now. That's the general gist, anyway, I was getting irritated because Scott once again gets his butt in an elevator during a storm when lights are flickering. Nothing bad happens. It's just a pet peeve.
Scott leaves Liam at the hospital because taking him home would just not be sensible. He meets up with Stiles and Malia, and reveals that he and Kira haven't been texting each other all that often. Apparently when Kira left for New York over the summer, Scott told her, 'Don't worry, go have fun.' That might seem like a totally innocuous comment but Stiles thinks it might have a second meaning.
STILES: Malia, if you were going away and I told you, 'Don't worry, go have fun', what would you think I was talking about?
MALIA: Fun like bowling? Or sex with other guys?
Y'all are still children. Keep it in your pants.
As more and more patients are wheeled into the hospital from a car accident, Scott and Stiles realise that Kira must be stuck in traffic on that same road. DUN DUN DUN. He'll meet Malia and Stiles at the school because he's going to mysteriously get through a traffic jam and come to Kira's rescue. Is he going to do his wolf-run down the middle of a highway? Because I don't see how that will help.
At the sheriff's station, deputies haul some delinquent kid in. By breaking and entering a premises while armed, Delinquent Kid seems to have breached a suspended sentence and is going straight to jail.
Realising his mistake, Delinquent Kid tries to make things better by threatening to kill Sheriff. Keep talking, buddy. That's really gonna help your case. Sheriff seems upset by the threats and also because Parrish hasn't come back yet.
Scott grabs his bike helmet from Casa McCall, which is a more normal method of transport than wolf-running. As he's leaving, Scott notices the note that Goop Guy yanked off the fridge, complete with suspicious claw marks.
But there's no time to dwell on that because all of a sudden the magnets have stopped working. They just drop to the floor. Then Scott notices that the clock is whacked. Magnets magically reattach themselves to the fridge and a small earthquake occurs.
At the creepy house, Parrish is alive and … smokin' hot. (No, literally, his wounds are smoking.) He tries to call for help on the radio but it just squawks at him unhelpfully. Lydia rocks up and finger-paints with Parrish's blood, then nearly kisses him.
Sheriff rocks up just as Parrish loses consciousness—Lydia was only ever a hallucination.
Sheriff takes Parrish to Mama McCall in the morgue because that's where the cool kids hang. Neither of them have any idea how to help Parrish and they assume the smoking wounds are part of his healing process. Parrish sits bolt upright, totally healed and looking murderous.
Sheriff immediately pulls out his gun, ready to protect himself and Mama McCall. But Mama McCall sees that Parrish's eyes have stopped glowing and he's back to an everyday hunk. An everyday hunk who remembers that they need to find Scott.
Back in the traffic jam, Kira's parents are turning it into story hour. The storm reminds them of the Wild Hunt—the Ghost Riders.
MAMA YUKIMURA: Imagine a night like this, Kira. In storm clouds just like these, phantom hunters would appear, riding black horses with blood-red eyes, wolves and hounds at their side, baying and snarling.
KIRA: What were they hunting?
MAMA YUKIMURA: Souls.
Is this foreshadowing? Or just more cool mythology? I'm fine with either.
But the story is interrupted when Scott rides the wrong way down the highway, through the parked cars. (He's obviously bored with localised earthquakes and weird magnets.) Kira jumps out of the car to meet him.
SCOTT: Did you have fun in New York?
KIRA: Not really.
SCOTT: Good.
Cue make-out in the rain. Everything is well again.
Back in the morgue, no one has made any attempt at contacting/going after Scott because it's story time about Parrish's encounter with Goop Guy. He tells them that when Goop Guy stabbed Parrish, it felt like the life was being sucked out of him through the claws. Mama McCall and Sheriff are impressing me with their knowledge about werewolf stuff but Parrish is worried that Goop Guy might be able to steal Scott's True Alpha powers. Like, I know you need the full story but shouldn't 'Bad guy after Scott' be enough to go find him by now?
Thankfully Liam has been eavesdropping on the conversation and he's off to find Scott like a sensible human being. Keep your cool and don't kill anyone, baby.
Scott and Kira get to the high school, somehow dry though they've just been making out in/riding through the rain on Scott's bike. They engage in a more serious make-out session in that little underpass place and it's all great until Goop Guy appears and runs at them through a majestic waterfall.
Elsewhere at the high school, Stiles and Malia are blissfully unaware of all of this and are more worried about this mysterious Senior Scribe thing and whether everyone's going to make it. Malia still doesn't know if she passed all her summer schooling and she doesn't want to take part in Senior Scribe unless she's actually a senior. Stiles is super supportive, mumbling, 'Yeah' while staring off into the distance as other students arrive.
MALIA: What's wrong with you? You smell terrible.
STILES: Yeah, it's called anxiety. It should be a familiar scent for you by now since it's pretty much a constant state for me.
Recently Stiles found out that Sheriff doesn't talk to any of his high school friends anymore—he just lost touch with them. Now Stiles is worried that Scott's his best friend now but he won't be his best friend for life. I totally understand that thought process but, for real, did Sheriff happen to be involved in a supernatural club? No? I feel like constant near-death experiences that have to be kept a total secret might just be a stronger bond than regular high school.
Anyway, Malia is totally on board with Stiles's vision of keeping the pack together, especially if she's part of it. Now that Stiles feels understood, he and Malia can make out in the rain as well.
Well, until Liam shows up.
LIAM: Scott's in trouble.
That is literally all these kids need to go find Scott. Mama McCall and Sheriff are probably still debriefing over a cup of coffee in the morgue, maybe enjoying the fact that Parrish's shirt is all ripped up.
In the underpass area, Kira and Scott are fighting Goop Guy. Kira has LITERALLY THE BEST FASHION ACCESSORY EVER. HER BELT IS A SWORD. 10/10 WOULD BUY. I feel like Kira always gets her butt kicked when using a sword. Has Mama Yukimura started with any kitsune lessons yet? She should get on that immediately.
Goop Guy claims to be a devoted fan. He wants to see the True Alpha who took down Deucalion and broke the Argents. Scott fights a bit more and ends up eating shit. Kira eats shit with the sword again. Just as Goop Guy is about to stab Scott, some werewolf comes out of nowhere and IT LOOKS LIKE ISAAC?!?!?!
He fights Goop Guy for a while but Scott still ends up getting stabbed. Goop Guy is slowly draining away his True Alpha power as Stiles, Malia, and Liam arrive.
Or not? NOPE. SCOTT'S EYES ARE STILL RED, BITCH.
Scott breaks Goop Guy's arm so hard that bones are sticking out. He rips Goop Guy's dismembered talons out of his own heart and then lays down the law.
SCOTT: I don't know who you are or what you thought you were going to do but I'll give you a choice: you can stay and I'll break something else or you can run.
STILES: I'd run.
Goop Guy sees the logic in that and runs away.
Despite everyone running through the rain/battling in waterfalls, most hair is mysteriously dry again.
Turns out the werewolf I thought was Isaac is actually Theo, who was Scott's childhood BFFL and also the dude commiserating with Kira over lack of phone service.
THEO: You don't remember me, do you? I guess I look a little different since the fourth grade.
Well, I will maybe never remember this guy because he looks so much like Liam that I will never be able to tell them apart. All you boys and your solid jawlines are confusing the heck out of me.
Theo says he heard of an Alpha in Beacon Hills. When he found out the Alpha was Scott McCall, he had to see it for himself. And he wants to be part of Scott's pack.
Well, it's not an open door policy so everyone ditches Theo and Liam and somehow manage to stay mostly dry as they enter the high school. Malia gets a well-timed text telling her that she's a senior.
Lydia catches sight of them and asks them if they're doing this. She's not a hallucination and she's definitely not in Eichen House? So I guess that settles it: the pre-credits scene was definitely a flash-forward kind of thing and my soul will probably be ripped apart this season if it goes the way I think it's going.
All problems can wait because Senior Scribe is officially starting. Basically everyone is writing their initials on a shelf in the library under where the yearbooks are housed. Stiles spots the initials DH and smiles a bit. Maybe that's Derek's handwriting or maybe it's someone random like Deborah Huxtable but it doesn't matter.
Everyone makes their mark. Malia has an identity crisis for a sec about her last name but decides to go with Tate instead of Hale. Scott writes his initials and then AA for ALISON ARGENT. SHUT UP, YOU'RE CRYING. (Also the next guy in line looks like he's 40 years old. Shave that holiday scruff before the first day, buddy.)
STILES: She would have been with us.
SCOTT: Yeah.
LYDIA: She still is.
They walk through the halls in slow mo because slow mo means they're awesome.
Cut to some evil dungeon lair. Goop Guy collapses on the floor and asks for another chance; he could do with a little more power. Something makes a noise like Predator and suddenly three weird masked dudes/Empty Children are coming at him.
EMPTY CHILDREN: Are you my mummy? Your condition worsens.
GOOP GUY: I'm okay. I'm okay. Just give me another chance.
EMPTY CHILDREN: You were supposed to remove the obstacles. Your time is limited.
GOOP GUY: Whatever you're here to do, I can help.
EMPTY CHILDREN: No second chances.
GOOP GUY: I can help you.
EMPTY CHILDREN: No second chances.
I think that's what they were saying, anyway. They're going to have to work on their diction. There's no point being a supervillain if no one can understand your ominous speeches.
One of the Empty Children stabs Goop Guy in the chest. His chest rips open and a billion crows just fly out of his body. That's just lovely.
Back in the Eichen House flash-forward/present day/who knows, Lydia is now restrained in her bed. Aiden makes it clear that he's a hallucination. He suddenly becomes some other guy … is that Dr Valack/Cyclops dude from last season minus the gaping head wound? I THINK SO.
DR VALACK: Tell me, Lydia. Tell me what happened to them. What happened to your friends?
Lydia repeatedly says she doesn't remember anything but she has a few flashes of things. Scott and Liam fighting each other in werewolf form. Mama McCall slapping Sheriff. Kira getting in a car and being driven away. Parrish walking through fire with glowing eyes. The Desert Wolf finally finding a terrified Malia. Stiles PRESUMABLY DEAD IN A FIERY JEEP. HOW DARE YOU.
Dr Valack says that it's all right; there are other ways to get to the details. And then he pulls out a fricking DRILL.
DR VALACK: This special device is designed for trepanation: the medical art of drilling into the human skull. Let me show you how it works.

Why Bangladesh?
Bangladesh is the perfect place and unique solution for clothing due to its competitive and low cost factor. That's why it is the land of textile industries and buying hubs. The BGMEA is govt. recognized trade association for apparel sourcing near about 4491 apparel manufacturers.
According to ministry of commerce, Bangladesh earned $25 billion in the year of 2013-2014 of which $13 billion came from the knitwear sector, $8 billion from woven sector and the rest of $4 billion from sweaters.
Bangladesh knitwear industry has gained 2nd place in the global market. We are trying to reach 1st position leaving china behind by the year of 2018.

DESPITE THE GLIMPSE of a different kind of politics suggested by the nationwide movement behind Bernie Sanders, we're back to 'politics as usual' with the two presidential candidates of corporate America about to face each other for the first time on prime time television. America - you can have either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Since neither are liked by the American people, it ain't much of a choice.
The real progressive candidate, the Green's Jill Stein, won't feature in the debates. That's because for the nearly 30 years, the Commission on Presidential Debates,a private company controlled by the Republicans and Democrats, has directed the debates and has required candidates to earn a minimum of 15 percent in the polls. It's a steep order for third parties who don't command anything like the financial resources of the Democrats and Republicans.
The Commission on Presidential Debates is not a neutral arbiter. As the The National Review says:
"Don't expect the Commission on Presidential Debates to be sympathetic to the lack of other voices in their nationally televised debates. The Commission, financed largely by corporations and law firms, was set up in 1987 by the Democratic and Republican parties for the express purpose of seizing control of the debates from the League of Women Voters and making sure the two parties could control their terms. "I think they're trying to steal the debates from the American voter," Nancy Neuman, then the league's president, told reporters at the time."
It also does not help when the corporate media focuses on the candidates it prefers. This has seen both Jill Stein - and the Libertarian's Gary Johnson - effectively ignored. Bernie Sanders also suffered the same fate, receiving vastly less media coverage than both Clinton and Trump.
Jill Stein and the Green Party estimate that Trump has received $4 billion of free media and Clinton $2 billion during the election cycle.
A recent USA Today poll showed that 76 percent want the presidential debates to be opened out to include Jill Stein and the Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson. They want to hear from candidates other than Clinton and Trump.
Says Jill Stein: 'I'm expressing the urgent demand of the American people fro a real democracy. Because the two leading candidates, the establishment candidates, have been the most disliked and distrusted ever in our history, according to polls. And the American people are tired of this rigged political system that's created a rigged economy."
The reality is that the presidential debates often establish the political agenda, bringing to the fore the issues that will be debated. But American politics has been crippled by the dominance of the two political wings of corporate America and any movement for real change rests with the development of the third parties. But they must be allow to be heard - and Jill Stein is being a denied that platform by the Commission on Presidential Debates on behalf of its corporate backers.

First impressions:
- Very Soft
- Like that it is black
- Detailed instructions of washing
What it says it would do
- Clean all waterproof make up
- Will last 1000 washes
What It's made of:
- Handcrafted polyester
Purchasing this on a whim, I never thought that having anything polyester was a good thing, but this has changed my mind. Sometimes I'm just way too tired to get out my make up remover, a cotton swab and scrub the make up off my face and also wash my face afterwards. With the cloth just run it over warm water and it clears away WATERPROOF make up. It's also washable so it saves me so much money!
I really do recommend this cloth to everyone, plus it so soft. Like ridiculously soft. I wish I had a blanket of this cloth! It's great for sensitive skin too, so long as you are not allergic to polyester you

Last week i got the chance to put the Quechua X-light jacket to the test. Available from Decathlon, Europe's number one sports retailer, the jacket is on sale for £29.99.
There was probably no better time to put such a winter jacket to the test considering the low temperatures and turbulent weather we've had over recent weeks. In Yorkshire is has constantly rained nearly every day, but as many of you know that when you have kids a little bit of rain won't stop your kids from wanting to go outside to the park and have fun.
The jacket arrived in a branded postal-bag, i had it sent through Royal Mail's next day delivery so the post-man had to get a signature. The Quechua coat arrived without a scratch and it reassuring to see that the company hasn't used any unnecessary material - i only make this point as in the run up to Christmas some of the parcel i have received have arrived in large boxes, which is a gigantic waste of resources and money.
Quechua X-light jacket is very lightweight, duck feather-filled coat, designed to protect the wearer from the cold on mountain hikes and has even been tested for optimum comfort between -5°C and -10°C.
The coat it's self has two outer projects and two inner pockets. The large jacket is only 440g, which helps make it super-easy and comfortable to move around in. For those going out in to the wilderness for a walk, it is good to know that the jacket comes with a waterproof pouch and that the jacket can be packed away quickly.
I thought it was worth noting here that the Quechua X-light jacket comes with a two year guarantee. When you invest in a jacket you also want to know more about it.. what it's made of and most importnlty how do you take of it? Well Decathlon have provided a wealth of information for anyone looking to invest in the jacket...
1. Inflating power of down/feather filling For this down jacket filled 75/25, the inflating power of the down/feather is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to 540 CUIN2. The advantages of duck down and feather filling* (for the back and front of the down jacket) The durable and inflating properties of the down give this jacket3. qualities for hiking: - Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers - Ultra-light weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth.This allows you to lighten the load in your backpack - Ultra compactable * Our feathers come from Chinese ducks reared for their meat; we remove their feathers after slaughter. We hold the death certificates for these ducks 3 The advantages of synthetic down filling (for the arms, sides and hood) Synthetic down (wadding) provides an appealing alternative to feather down: - it provides good thermal insulation even when wet - it provides a little breathability and may be recommended for dynamic activity (down is recommended for static or moderate activity)4. Choice of jacket filler materials The X-Light down jacket is made using natural down and synthetic filling (wadding), for a good balance of warmth, light weight and compact properties at an attractive price. Down provides a lot of warmth around the torso and back. It allow the jacket to remain very lightweight and compressible. The technical wadding in the arms, sides and hood is thinner and more comfortable during movement than basic wadding while providing equivalent warmth.5. Care advice for a down jacket with down and feather filling The down jacket can be worn throughout the winter and will certainly need to be washed. How to wash and dry your down jacket 6. In the event of rain The material of this down jacket is water repellent. It allows drops of water to slide off the fabric which delays penetration of water into the jacket while you get out of the rain. But the down jacket is not waterproof. We therefore recommend wearing a waterproof jacket over the down jacket in the event of prolonged exposure to rain.
To put it through its paces i took it for spin to the supermarket (In the rain) with the family. One of the first things you notice is the feel of the jacket; smooth and gentle the coats description might come across as hard and rugged but the jacket in use is comfortable and stylish.
Running from the car to the supermarket in the rain i could see that the rain just bounced-off the jacket, keeping me warm and dry.
A day later we headed to the park early in the morning. It was a rather cold morning and playing on all the equipment with Ted helped me break the jacket in. Whilst it was a good-fit there was plenty of room to manoeuvre and the Quechua X-light jacket kept the wind-out well.
Whilst i didn't venture up any mountains or go for any long hikes i feel that the jacket was well-made and did what it was advertised to do and more! Reading the reviews my words only echo my previous comments. The jacket is both value for money and water-proof, so if you are looking for a winter/hiking jacket gift either for yourself or someone else it is worth checking it out: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/x-light-mens-down-jacket-blue-id_8317718.html#anchor_ComponentProductFeatures
Heading anywhere cold this winter? Japan, Norway or maybe France? The QUECHUA X-Light Down Jacket will keep you... https://t.co/77imXrsInc

Cold War II-Item 9-Warsaw Pact 2.01 or Change the First A in NAFTA?-We might have an opportunity here in the fallout of the Iraq diplomatic scuffles. The Eastern Europeans are steaming at France right now
Several former Soviet bloc nations, including Romania, Poland, and Hungary, rounded on French President Jacques Chirac, who had suggested that their support for the United States might jeopardise their membership of the EU. Mr Chirac further riled potential EU newcomers with what was perceived as a snide observation that they had "missed a great opportunity to shut up" after they publicly supported the US position on Iraq. Diplomats and commentators likened Mr Chirac's comments to Soviet-era edicts to Warsaw Pact countries and warned they would have a lasting impact on France's standing and authority in Europe. Czech Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda said in a retort to Mr Chirac: "We are not joining the EU so we can sit and shut up."These countries know what totalitarian government is and are willing to help end them elsewhere. They also don't like being told to be quiet. That's what the Communists would do with their public. They're willing to be junior partners in the EU; that's partners, not indentured servants. We might look at setting up a new economic structure that would expand NAFTA to Eastern Europe and anyone else in Europe willing to join. We don't even have to change the acronym; the new entity will be the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement. Such an entity wouldn't have any aims to be a world government. It would give the Eastern European countries access to a large economic market while not having to be part of the big government of the EU. Quite a few of the current EU members might want to switch sides as well, like Italy, Spain and Britain. We also might look to throw NATO out and look to have a ongoing "coalition of the willing" that will stand ready to oppose terrorism and military aggression around the world and provide for security for Eastern Europe from any possible move from Russia or other parts of the old USSR to try and rearrange the borders by force. For parts of Eastern Europe where post-Cold-War tensions are still close to the surface, the presence of a international military base might be helpful to regional stability as well as give the US a forward-posting ability to jump into the Middle East and Africa. France and Germany might not be interested, but Eastern Europe might well be. I'm toying with the idea of calling this the Warsaw Pact 2.01 (version 2.0 included Russia and was too buggy, if you wondered what happened to it). The combination of economic and military cooperation with Eastern Europe and other willing partners would give a larger hegemony to Anglospherian ideals and counter the statism that flows through the EU. Just some off-the-cuff musings after a long day-and-a-half of teaching.

Study: Parents Saving to Fund Kids' Education, Not Retirement
Most Children Believe Parents Should Fund Their Education
New York, NY — More American parents are saving money to fund their kids' education than for their own retirement, according to T. Rowe Price's "2016 Parents, Kids & Money" survey.
About 58% of those parents surveyed said they have saved money toward their kids' college tuition than they have saved money toward their own retirement, about 54%.
About 76% of parents said they'd be willing to delay their retirement to pay for kids' college education, while 68% said they would be willing to get a second or a part-time job to help foot the education bill.
In addition, parents are sometimes using their own retirement accounts to pay for those college credits. About 27% of parents are using either a 401k or an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) to save for their kids' college, the study says. (Source: "Parents put kids' college savings above retirement, study says," Benefits PRO, August 4, 2016.)
A majority of children believe their parents will cover all college costs for them, according to T. Rowe Price's 2016 Parents, Kids & Money Survey. In addition, 62% think parents will foot the bill no matter which academic institution they decide to attend, according to the report, which surveyed 1,086 parents nationally as well as their 8- to 14-year-old kids.
Many parents are falling in with this entitlement attitude, with 63% agreeing with the statement, "I feel guilty that I won't be able to pay more for their college." But only 35% of parents will be able to cover most of their kids' college bills, and just 12% said they will be able to pay the whole college bill.
With the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2015–2016 school year $32,405 at private colleges, $23,893 for out-of-state students at public colleges, and $9,410 even for in-state students at public colleges, according to the College Board, many parents simply can't afford to provide the level of support their children expect or that they might want to give.
About 42% of parents agree with the statement, "I lose sleep worrying about college costs," up significantly from the 28% of parents who felt that way in 2014, the study says. (Source: Ibid.)
While 67% of kids say their parents are saving for their college, 23% of those have parents who said that they are actually not saving for their children's college.

733-0/3/10006 Joy-ride
Sculpture. 1958-9 by Franta Belsky. Bronze mother and child on circular stone plinth, the mother carrying her little boy on her back. The mother figure is remarkable for the integration of her dress and skin as a single, tensile form.
Franta Belsky (1921- ) came to Britain in 1938 from Bmo, Czechoslovakia, and combined studies at the Royal College of Art with military service. Although today as well known as a portraitist as for his public sculpture, it was with 'Joy-ride' and the slightly earlier 'Lesson' (LB Tower Hamlets, 1956) that he achieved maturity. He was commissioned by Stevenage Development Corporation to produce something symbolic for a recently created New Town, the Corporation having been inspired by the use of symbolic sculpture in the rebuilding of bombed Rotterdam. The figures are thus symbolic of the arrival of a new generation in a New Town. The vertical composition with its high centre of interest is a response to its setting on top of a platform with stairs and railings to either side, and a carefully preserved group of trees below. It is amongst his most distinctive works, specifically designed for a distinguished location.
(Franta Belsky: Sculpture: Prague and London: -1922).

Due diligence
Due Diligence means exercising a reasonable degree of care, for example if you want to sell or buy a company. Alternatively, you might be curious about your company's financial, tax, operational and legal health, or you might be a bankruptcy trustee seeking help with financial and tax issues. Again, you need to do your homework and a Due Diligence review will provide the understanding that you need, by mapping out the risks of a business acquisition. Depending on the business concerned and what arrangements you make, a Due Diligence review may include the following elements:
What a Due Diligence review yields
Any prospective buyer has a duty of investigation before taking over a company. It is advisable to perform a Due Diligence review. The seller has a duty of disclosure, and while a full review is not in fact necessary, it will benefit the seller by identifying and eliminating any obstacles. A Due Diligence review provides information about the following matters:
- Whether the information that the seller has supplied is accurate and complete, and whether the business is in fact as profitable as the seller suggests;
- What the quality and standard of accuracy is of the company's accounts and records;
- What potential tax and legal risks exists.
Depending on the arrangements, the asking price might subsequently be adjusted or renegotiated.
What makes Van Oers Accounting & Consulting Services the perfect partner?
