Blase Interviews Regis Tremblay (part 2)
Friends, today I'm privileged to have Regis Tremblay, director of the new and very important documentary: 30 Seconds to Midnight. Welcome, Regis Tremblay.
Regis: Thank you, Blase.
Blase: Your film is essentially a final wake up call. The human species is on the brink of extinction. Nuclear power is not safe, and America's nuclear power plants are now leaking, and there is no way to get rid of nuclear waste. Any other problems? (laughter)
Regis: Climate change, of course. If developed and underdeveloped countries of the world do not figure out a way to mitigate climate change, life is going to become very difficult for people all over the world. As temperatures rise and we get more extreme weather events, and ecosystems are ravaged and changed radically, war and conflict escalate. I believe that these three things – the possibility of nuclear armagerdon, which is more serious now than at the time of the cold war; nuclear power is not safe and produces deadly wastes that have a shelf life of ten thousand years; and climate change which we can't reverse – all three pose existential threats. Hopefully the people of the world can change the way we live and get off of gas, coal and oil. We might be able to maintain a more habitable planet. But we're on a trajectory to see an increase of 2 degrees centigrade. We're already increased the temperature a degree centigrade; but if we continue on this track of using fossil fuels, the scientists are predicting temperature rises of five to six degrees centigrade. That will make life on earth hellish. (Read More)

This fall, College of Business and Economics students were treated to an inspirational lecture and Q&A with Travis Boersma, one of the founders of Dutch Bros. Coffee. Travis and his older brother Dane started Dutch Bros. in the early 90s, and the company has blossomed into a growing empire of drive-thru coffee locations throughout the Western U.S. From the start, the brothers made it their mission to not only provide great coffee, but to share a positive and enthusiastic outlook with their customers.
That high-energy, optimistic attitude was apparent throughout the lecture, as Travis wove an amazing tale of humble beginnings working on the family farm, to operating a coffee push cart with a pop-up tent, to becoming "the country's largest privately held, drive-thru coffee company." Even having experienced a handful of trials and tribulations, Travis made it clear that having a winning attitude and striving to do better were obvious success factors.
"Travis had a big impact on me with his down-to-earth attitude and the experiences he's had starting a business with his brother," said MBA Career Track student, Sean Luster. "His talk inspired me to continue to push myself and keep growing as a professional and as a person."
The packed crowd of students and faculty in the audience walked away with a wealth of wisdom and a smile (of course) because Travis, living the Dutch Bros. creed, would not have it any other way.

MB BChir Cantab( 1944) MRCS LRCP(1944) DCH(1945) MRCP(1946) FRCP(1970)
During a long career Henry Giles helped develop paediatric services in Birmingham. The son of a bank manager, he was born and educated in Belfast before going up to Cambridge and then to St Bartholomew's Hospital to study medicine. Following resident jobs at Bart's, he spent two years in Malaysia with the RAMC. He returned to Bart's as a demonstrator in pathology and thereafter pursued his paediatric career at Great Ormond Street, Westminster Children's Hospital and as a senior registrar at St Mary's Hospital. During his appointment at St Mary's he spent two years as a senior assistant resident and teaching fellow at Boston Children's Hospital in the States.
In 1956 he moved to Birmingham as consultant paediatrician. Based at Selly Oak Hospital, he had wide responsibilities in many other units including Sorrento Maternity Hospital, Little Bromwich Hospital (now Birmingham Heartlands Hospital). For many years he was a single handed consultant. During his appointment in Birmingham he was seconded to the University College of Rhodesia in Salisbury as visiting professor of paediatrics.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of his career was the development from scratch, by slow dogged persistence, of a comprehensive secondary paediatric service for children in South Birmingham, integrating all aspects of neonatal, hospital, community and psychiatric care of children. A further contribution to service development was his medical leadership and wise counsel in the opening and early running of the Acorns Children's Hospice. Six days before his death he was at the Lord Mayor of Birmingham's charity dinner in support of the hospice and was expected at the hospice the day he died.
Clinically he was proud of being a general paediatrician able to give an opinion on any child ranging from a diagnosis of normality to the need for tertiary referral. He encouraged his colleagues to develop their interests (for example in oncology, cystic fibrosis and learning problems) even though he had to shoulder more of the general paediatric work. He had his own special interests. Pyelonephritis in infancy had attracted his attention during his pathology appointment at Bart's. This renal interest continued with other publications on the nephrotic syndrome and the establishment of a joint clinic with urology colleagues at Selly Oak. Joint medical/surgical clinics are common place now but were visionary in 1956. He was quick to pass on the benefits of the pharmacological revolution to his young patients but also cautioned about the dangers; he described imipramine poisoning in childhood and was the first to suggest the connection between Reye's syndrome and therapeutic doses of aspirin in febrile children. This led to a study of the immediate and longer term management of febrile convulsions. Apart from the medical aspects, he was a pioneer in the social and emotional aspects of hospital care for children. He introduced free hospital visiting by parents shortly after his arrival in Selly Oak. Some staff left in protest, but he persisted with a policy now regarded as normal. He actively co-operated with the National Association for the Welfare of Children in Hospital (now Action for Sick Children) - at a time when the organization was regarded by some as an anarchic patients' rights conspiracy. He encouraged play leaders and groups in his wards and in his out-patients.
A further major contribution was a firm conviction to take paediatrics and child health outside the confines of the hospital walls. He was a member of the Court committee which produced Fit for the future, London, HMSO, 1976. This led to the development of sub-specialty and general paediatric services in hospitals, and also the concept of community paediatrics, a consultant-led specialist service for children outside hospital, providing preventative services for the healthy and specialist clinical care for the chronically ill. He had a particular interest in and published work on child neglect and abuse. Henry was a Royal College of Physicians man and had doubts about the need for a College of Paediatrics and Child Health but he commented that the perceived lack of a community dimension in the College of Physicians (at that time) was an Achilles heel.
The chronology and the achievements - but what of the man? He knew he could explain matters in ten elegant sentences (even more over a pint) when one snappy one would do, that his ward rounds exhausted everyone except him, and that his registrars and hospital administrators hated Saturday morning clinics specially designed for children who did not wish to miss school. As an Ulsterman he was deeply saddened by the 'troubles'. When president of the section of paediatrics of the Royal Society of Medicine he organized his presidential meeting with colleagues in Dublin - a gesture of compassion over conflict. He was interested in the history of the First World War - often visiting Flanders. He was proud of his family's supreme sacrifice in that conflict. He was a keen Aston Villa supporter. He also encouraged youngsters to take part in competitive events and felt they were a good alternative attraction to such problems as drugs. He had a love of poetry, particularly the work of the First World War poets. He enjoyed opera, particularly performances by the Welsh National Opera.
Above all, he was a family man. On one journey to Malaysia in his RAMC days he met his wife Evelyn (Lyn) Huntriss over a Times crossword. They both loved words and Henry continued to do The Times crossword every day. They had a son and three daughters.

When it's my turn to make a dessert for a holiday gathering I head straight for chocolate layer cake. Since I refuse to compromise on ingredients, a certain amount of work is involved, but I streamline the process as much as possible.
You can guarantee high quality by using excellent chocolate (Valrhona or the like is not overkill; you'll notice the difference) and unsalted butter.
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; more for greasing pans
- 2 cups (9 ounces) cake or all-purpose flour; more for dusting pans
- 3 ounces high-quality unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of two 9-inch layer-cake pans. Cut rounds of parchment or waxed paper to fit bottom of pans. Butter paper, and dust flour over pans; invert to remove excess.
- 2. Melt chocolate in saucepan or double boiler, stirring occasionally. When just about melted, remove from heat; stir until smooth.
- 3. In mixer, cream butter until smooth, gradually adding sugar. Beat until fluffy, 3 or 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, then vanilla and chocolate. In a bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to chocolate mixture a little at a time, alternating with milk. Stir until smooth.
- 4. Beat egg whites until they hold soft peaks. With rubber spatula, fold them gently into batter. Turn batter into cake pans, and bake 30 minutes, or until a toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool on a rack 5 minutes, invert and complete cooling.
- 5. Put one layer on a platter, rounded side down. Spread with whipped cream. Top with second layer, flat side down. Spread cream over top and sides. Serve in an hour or two.

Wishing you all a very happy 2018! Thank you to everyone who has followed my work in 2017. Your support and interaction has been wonderful. Lets hope this year brings more positive possibilities. This year has been an extremely challenging one for me. My everyday life seems to be woven with frustrating obstacles that get in the way of my creative life. Art, music and storytelling is always a sanctuary of inspiration and comfort and I love the connections it creates with people who are attuned to it. The more I can incorporate these into my everyday existence, the more I become closer to the person I wish to be. Hopefully one day, my art life and everyday life will feel more like one thing, rather than the one fighting the other.
Above everything else, having a positive connection to the people and the world around me is so important.
What I hope to achieve in 2018:
Work hard
Be healthy
Be art
Be music
Be kind
I hope you all find happiness and inspiration in 2018!

Custom Orthotics For Shoes
What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are customised insoles to suit the specific patient's foot. Use of these as part of a treatment plan is referred to as orthotic therapy.
At Bankstown Podiatry Clinic we can custom make and tailor our orthotics to suit your foot and its diagnosed condition.
Human feet were designed to walk on natural and soft surfaces, like sand and grass, which accommodates to the shape the foot. However, as time and technology progressed, humans began to walk on hard surfaces (concrete), which ultimately led to foot and lower limb problems from overuse and excess strain.
These problems can be easily corrected by our podiatric specialists through orthotic therapy.
What Do Orthotics Do?
The aim of an orthotic is to place the foot in its optimal position throughout activity therefor reducing the stress and strain caused by structural problems on the feet and lower legs. It is basically a mechanical device that changes the ground to suit the foot.
Orthotics are used by our podiatrists to treat a range of conditions such as flatfeet, heel pain and knee pain.
If you have any questions about our orthotics, or would like a pair, feel free to drop by our Bankstown offices for a friendly consultation, or contact us today.

Dry shampoo is a life saver for people like me who sometimes get oily roots. I've searched high and low for the perfect one, and I finally found it: Tresemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo!
I love literally every aspect of this product! First, the price point: you can pick it up at Target or similar stores for only $5. It also smells fresh and amazing but isn't overly perfumed – this means it won't conflict with any other fragrance products you may choose to wear.
The best quality, however, is the fact that it is CLEAR! That's right, if you use this product correctly (which means spraying it lightly and not holding it really close to your roots) then there is no residue! And if you do happen to spray it too generously or too closely, you can just rub it a teeny bit and it disappears and still dries clear. This is just so amazing because most dry shampoos leave a weird filmy white residue no matter what I do, and brown tinted dry shampoos can stain skin or clothing.
I like the volumizing aspect because it helps my hair have a bit more life to it (I have thin hair, but lot's of it!) However, if you have thick hair or just don't want more volume, Tresemmé also has a Basic Care version that absorbs oil and freshens up your hair without this aspect.
If you've been having issues with knowing how to use dry shampoo or you're unsure of which dry shampoo would be best for your hair needs, here is a helpful infographic that can walk you through this.
Have you tried this product, or do you have a favorite dry shampoo? Please, let me know in the comments section!
Thanks for reading!

Help me Re-define the Definition of Machinima!
So I'm sitting here in an open-air coffee place on one of the first warm days of the season being a negative fart and probably putting everyone around me in a bad mood. So, what's my problem? The above definition of machinima is too specific! I think this definition doesn't grasp the large-scale image, the "what could be" of machinima. So what if we looked at this from a different approach and re-defined the definition to include something more broad? Could we include the idea of global in the definition? Keep reading– I have an exercise for everyone at the end.. I hope we can get some good responses going!
No Limits
There is no genre of film or television more global than animation. Animation can be applied to any visual media form. It can tell a story, sell a business, be used in an ad campaign. It's the one of the only features of the virtual world that can be meshed into the real world, as you can literally export it out of the game and broadcast it without limitations. What does this mean? Making machinima does not have to be for only those in the Virtual World! You can do a cute little machinima for a small business on your street corner or maybe something structured for a large corporation wanting to show the uses of its new product. Thinking about machinima as only available to those in Second Life or other gaming environments ONLY limits us!
When Animation first started, it was geared at children ages 9 and below. In recent years, it has been geared towards adults. How often have you seen professional animation attributed to something as trivial as cough medicine or even tampons? Next time you watch TV, watch out for this. Animation really is everywhere!
The Animation Industry is not Recession Proof
Traditional 3D Animation doesn't look too positive in this state of the economy. Animation (as in anything NOT machinima) is a time consuming process. It's one of the most labor-intensive industries in the world. It involves thousands of background images and rendering of objects that call for teams of people. Much of this work is outsourced to companies in lower-wage countries, who are able to deliver under the time deadlines. Many renown animation companies are closing their doors and going bankrupt (to name a few: A.D. Vision, Gaenon, and Central Park Media). In the past , when industries were failing, they had to look for alternative ways of doing things.
Is Machinima the solution?
As animation gets better, the necessity to build an infrastructure to support animation's resource requirements has made quality animation an expensive endeavor. Demands are unpredictable and small companies can generally respond to a customer's project faster. Increasingly, budgets are decreasing and people are impatient with project deadlines. Here's how machinima can help the animation industry's woes:
* Machinima is cheaper! Earlier this year I did some research on how much it would cost to do courtroom animations using machinima. Courtroom animations are used in trials by key witnesses to illustrate what happened, as it would be impossible to recreate the scenario (especially where a person was severely injured/killed).
The average cost for a traditional animation firm for a :30-1min courtroom video was about $7000USD. The cost for machinima? LESS than half that amount!
* Machinima is faster! Since many of the objects in the environment are already pre-built and pre-rendered, everything is ready to go for your disposal. The average machinima team is roughly 4-5 people: The machinimatographer, the builder, the scripter, the avatar creator, and the actors/puppeteers.
Best of all, Second Life just released their terms of service regarding machinima. The overall thoughts of Linden Lab? They have a non-issue with IP rights– you are free to distribute, sell, etc. as you please as long as you get permissions from locations and avatars in the scene. Easy!! And a lot of bricks off us machinimatographers' backs!
Ok, what's next?
Let's start making more great stuff! For the narrative filmmakers out there, contact me to talk about the various grants available to animation artists (yes, machinima falls into the category of animation). There's an ecosystem of local arts agencies, financial support, tax breaks, and broadcast quotas that bolster your animation efforts. Right now, I think what we are lacking is ambitious business professionals willing to take this medium to a new level and reach out to clients BEYOND Second Life! We need professionals to take a big leap and produce more machinima for the big leagues. There's a renown quote I like, "Walt Disney didn't achieve his whimsical empire by being the greatest animator ever. He did so by assembling the greatest animation team ever."
So now, I want to ask everyone reading this to do an exercise for me and comment below. If you could re-define the definition of machinima for the sake of the English language and people's well being, what would you re-define it as??

Berwyn warned of big bump in taxes if referendum passes
A taxpayer advocacy group is warning Berwyn residents that they could see their property taxes jump 17 percent if they approve a South Berwyn School District 100 referendum on Tuesday.
In a flier, Taxpayers United of America (TUA) said voters smartly knocked down property tax and bond referendums in November 2014, and they should do it again.
Voters in Berwyn, Evanston, Hinsdale and Oak Park face government school property tax increase referendums, while Coal City and Lynwood will vote on home rule referendums. The TUA said voters should shoot them all down.
"Whether the proposal to voters is to enact home rule, which gives unlimited taxing authority to local bureaucrats, or to issue tens of millions of dollars in new bonds and raise property taxes, taxpayers in these six communities must reject these seven referenda on the April 4 ballot to avoid disastrous increases to their property tax bills," TUA President Jim Tobin said.
Last year, the school district collected $13.3 million in property taxes, and the referendum would add $2.2 million, TUA said. A home valued at $200,000 would have a property tax increase of more than $300 a year, according to the flier.
"Illinois has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country," Tobin said. "You have to wonder how many people could have stayed in their homes if the property taxes weren't so high – the highest property taxes in the country."

Africa will be in the fray at the #BETAwards17 as South Africa's Nomzamo Mbatha and Pearl Thusi will be representing the continent this weekend when they bring more glitz and glam to the 2017 'BET Awards from Los Angeles.
Nomzamo will co-host the International Awards stage alongside US model Eva Marcille, while Pearl Thusi will be hosting the "Global Glitz and Glam" on the red carpet alongside music manager and entrepreneur Johnny Wright.
Commenting, Alex Okosi, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa said; "The BET Awards is one of the only awards ceremonies in the world that honours and recognises artists on a global platform.

Before you get excited, there are some risks and assumptions to make this happen, so make your decisions wisely. You may not be able completely eliminate the need for a bank loan, but you certainly can minimize. If there is a 100% grant available, you do not have to worry about the loans, but grants are not easy to get now a days.
Every year, thousands of Indian students come to USA for higher education. Most of the students get a student loan in India to pay their tuition fees and you are looking at about $25,000 towards tuitions fees and the interest rate can be as high as 15% for loans issued in India.
To give you an idea, you could end up paying a total of approximately $40,000 if you pay back your $25,000 loan in 7 years at 15% interest rate.
How can you minimize Interest charges?
Instead of your family member taking loan in India, You could help them out in USA with Credit cards. Credit Cards are great not only for Miles and Points but also for 0% APR interest for some time. It would be wise to choose 0% APR cards to save money for your family if they plan on taking a student loan in India.
Note that, you may not be able to get a credit limit of $25K in a short span of time even if you apply for multiple credit cards and even if you get a $25K credit, you will only be able to buy 1-2 years of avoiding the interest charges. Not all universities will accept payments with credit card, even if Credit Cards are accepted there may be a processing fee.
As soon as your family member gets a social security number, get him/her to build the credit history with one of the techniques discussed here. It will take a minimum of 6 months to build any credit history.
Next step is the key to make this a smooth process. If your family member can get a part time job, he/she may be able to get a few entry level credit cards with 0% APR (do not expect a big credit line) and pay the tuition fees or start paying your credit card balances
In tomorrow post, we will provide a summary of resources to get money for 0% or lower APR and strategies to lengthen the duration for lower APR.
Interest rates are lower in USA, you can leverage that benefit to save money for your family when they come to USA for higher education.
There are some risks involved like impact on credit score as your utilization will likely go up or you may not catch up with the balance before the 0% APR offer ends.

We believe in a world where anything is possible. Dreams are just visions that haven't been assigned a plan yet. With a plan and a purpose, dreams can come true. The Eagle View Media Company is the collective goal of a group of brothers from Louisiana who have all been very succesful in various areas of media. Pulling their resources together, they aspire to embark upon greater ideas to grow with the evolving entertainment industry.
Gerald Wright (Orlando, FL) has an extensive resume with Business Management. Graduating from Southern University with a degree in Engineering, he enjoyed a 20+ year career as an engineer for General Motors and Disney. Gerald and his wife Gia also own AMPS Magazine, a news platform to promote Black News and Entertainment. The magazine is franchised in three cities, including Dallas, Indianapolis, and Orlando. Their company has been an advertisement supporter for some of the largest events in America, including Bronner Bros in Atlanta and The Circle City Classic in Indianapolis among others. Gerald also contributes to the Visual Ministry at his church in Florida, Live Church Orlando, where Rev. Tye Tribbett is Pastor.
Roosevelt Wright, III (New Orleans, LA) is an award winning public speaker. He and his wife own, Unboxed Possibilities Enterprise, which is the umbrella for Black Boot News and 100 BLK Radio. Their news site gains more than 1.5M views per month. Commonly known as "Ro Wright", he built a 25 year career in radio beginning as a full time employee at 13 years old. At one time, he was the youngest radio personality in Louisiana. He and Kita started producing TV shows when they were 14 and 15 years old. They sold advertisement to local vendors and had the shows aired on a local channel in Monroe, LA. Since then, they have produced several shows for regional stations and were executive producers for the 'Young & Married in New Orleans' Reality Show. Ro, who studied Mass Communications at Southern University, is the author of four books and is Pastor of Metro Assembly of Faith in New Orleans, LA. He played a role on HBO's 'Treme' series and has been featured on various networks including MTV and TBN. In 2014, Ro was booked to speak at more than 230 events around the country in one year.
Kita Wright (Monroe, LA) is an award winning Photographer and Videographer. His work has been seen in magazines and on television all over the world. His photos and videos of Hurricane Katrina were picked up by more than 50 stations all over the world. His photos and videos of the Jena Six Civil Rally were picked up by more than 50 stations all over the world as well. He was even given exclusive access to the Democratic National Convention in 2008 by the Obama Campaign. He has won numerous awards for Print and Visual Graphics. His work has been featured in several magazines including Blender, Jet, Ebony among others. He is also a regional stringer for the Associated Press. His production company, Proworks Productions, has done work for various ministries around the country including Bishop T.D. Jakes, The Potter's Institute. Kita, commonly called "The Pro", also partners with his brother Ro and their other brother Robert to manage their father's newspaper, The Monroe Free Press. It is the largest Black Newspaper in Louisiana. They have been managing it since they were teens.
The Foundation
Their brother Robert is also an award winning Photographer but his passion leans more towards Education than Entertainment. He will help contribute to Eagle View as well but he prefers teaching more than producing.
These men grew up with grand ideas. Sometimes, they were so grand they've had to move to various parts of the world to pursue their individual goals. There is one goal they have all shared collectively… to build a film platform for independent producers and filmmakers. The Wrights grew up together in Boy Scouts. All three of them are Eagle Scouts (the highest rank in the organization). Their father, Roosevelt Wright, Sr., was their scoutmaster. Their brother Robert reached Eagle status as well.
As kids, they learned to see the world through the eyes of an Eagle. Having traveled to nearly 40 of the 50 states before they even graduated High School, they studied American History, Politics, Business, and Entrepreneurship as kids. Gerald and Ro owned their own individual candy businesses when they were just 14 years old. Kita has owned his own production studio since he was 13 years old. They have been groomed to produce something magical together since they were young boys. The Eagle View Media Company is the manifestation of their collective aspirations in Mass Communications.

India-Rwanda Bilateral Relations
Since its independence from Belgium in July, 1962, Rwanda was plagued by a protracted and internecine conflict between the three dominant groups viz. Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. After several failed efforts, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and the Government of Rwanda signed the Arusha Peace Accord in 1993. But with the assassination of the Hutu President of Rwanda in April 1994, Rwanda once again plunged into violence in which an estimated 1 million people died. After the end of the civil war, Rwanda is moving steadily on the path of recovery and national reconciliation.
Political Relations
Bilateral relations between India and Rwanda have been cordial and have grown steadily over the years. In 1999, Rwanda officially opened its Mission in New Delhi and posted a Charge d' Affaires. Rwanda appointed its first resident Ambassador in New Delhi in 2001. India has taken a decision to open a Diplomatic Mission in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda and the modalities are being worked out. The country became a full member of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Free Trade Area (FTA) in 2004 and subsequently in 2007 it was admitted to the EAC. India's bilateral relations with Rwanda got a fillip with Rwanda becoming member of these African Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Rwanda opted to become a member of the Commonwealth in 2009 even though it has not been a British protectorate or a British colony.
High Level Visits

The Vice-President of India, Shri M. Hamid Ansari visited Rwanda from 19-21 February 2017. During the visit, he called on the President of Rwanda and had meetings with President of Rwandan Senate (Upper House) and Prime Minister of Rwanda. He also interacted with Indian community at a reception hosted by the High Commissioner, attended a business forum event organized by Rwanda Development Board where representatives from FICCI also participated. An innovators exhibition was also inaugurated by him along with Prime Minister of Rwanda. He addressed students of the University of Rwanda.
From Rwanda
HE President Paul Kagame has visited India four times during his tenure. Thrice he has been to India in private capacity. In December 2002 he visited India to receive an Honorary Doctorate from the Vellore Institute of Technology. President Kagame again visited New Delhi in January 2009 to participate in the India-Africa Business Forum organised by FICCI, as the Chief Guest. He visited New Delhi in November 2014 to participate in the India Economic Forum. He met the Hon'ble President Shri Pranab Mukherjee during the visit. In January 2017, President Kagame visited India to participate in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He also met Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on the side-lines of the Summit.
Former Rwandan Prime Minister Bernard Makuza participated in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in January, 2011. During the visit he called on Hon'ble Prime Minister. He again led a 25-member business delegation to India in October, 2011 to explore new investment opportunities. In April 2012, Gen. James Kaberebe, Minister of Defence led a three-member delegation to India to attend DefExpo India 2012. During the visit, he met Hon. Defence Minister of India and discussed possible future cooperation between the two countries in the field of defence. Hon. Speaker of Parliament of Rwanda Ms. Rose Mukantabana attended the 7th Meeting of Women Speakers of Parliament held in New Delhi in October 2012. Dr. Agnes Matilda Kalibata, Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources visited India in January, 2013 at the invitation of Hon'ble Minister of Water Resources. Hon'ble Minister of Trade and Industry, Francis Kanimba, led a business delegation to the 9th CII- EXIM Bank conclave to New Delhi from 17-19 March, 2013.
Rwandan Prime Minister H.E. Anastase Murekezi visited India in October 2015 to participate in the India-Africa Forum Summit – III.
Bilateral Cooperation
India's engagement with Rwanda is at three levels viz. at the African Union (AU) level, at level of the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and at the bilateral level.
Moreover, India's engagement with Rwanda has been consultative, response-based and focused on developing Rwandan capacities and human capital. Indian assistance to Rwanda has been guided mainly by the announcements made by India at the India-Africa Forum Summits in 2008, 2011, and 2015.
Following the first India Africa Forum Summit (IAFS-I), Rwanda was nominated by the AU as one of the recipients to host the India-Africa Vocational Training Centre (VTC). Shri Kalraj Mishra, the Hon'ble Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises visited Kigali in January 2015 to inaugurate the Vocational Training Institute.
During IAFS-II, India announced establishment of several institutions in Africa. As a part of its initiatives under IAFS-II, India is establishing the India-Africa Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IAEDC) in Rwanda. While recognizing that entrepreneurship is one of the most important factors in the development of a country's economy and an antidote to unemployment, the centre will be committed to nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship in the country through education, training and business advisory services. The Centre aims to foster business culture among the youth, both educated and not-so-educated, by orienting them to think in terms of entrepreneurship as a viable career option. A MoU has also been signed.
At IAFS-II, India also offered, among other things, eight Agricultural Seed Production-cum-Demonstration Centre, one each for the 8 RECs. The EAC has decided to locate one centre in Rwanda. The centre is a testimony to India's effort to help the region achieve food security.
Another institute is a Food Testing Laboratory (FTL) which India is setting-up in Rwanda as per announcements made under IAFS-II. ICRISAT, the Indian implementing agency and Rwanda Bureau of Standards (RBS) are working towards establishment of the institute.
A 28 MW hydroelectric power project on the Nyabarongo River in Rwanda was constructed with a Line of Credit worth US$ 80 million from the Government of India. This project augmented Rwanda's electricity generation capacity substantially.
India has extended a US$120.05 million EXIM Bank Line of Credit to Rwanda for an irrigation project in Rwanda. The agreement for the same was signed in October 2013 between EXIM Bank of India and Government of Rwanda.
In February 2017, India and Rwanda also signed Bilateral Air Services Agreement and an agreement for the exemption of visa for diplomatic and official passport holders.
Under the Pan Africa e-Network project, tele-medicine and tele-education centres were established in Rwanda in 2009 with an aim to enable Rwandan doctors consult their Indian counterparts, and ensure world-class medical consultation and treatment for patients and education for students. The initiative will help Rwandan access medical care and education from India at a fraction of cost. The project is operating successfully.
Scholarships and capacity building programmes
India is seen as a destination for quality and affordable education by Rwandans. In 2011 alone, around 700 Rwandan students joined Indian universities. Indian teachers serve various institutions in Rwanda, including the Kigali Institute of Science & Technology (KIST) and the Butare University. KIST and the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) signed an MOU in 2001 to facilitate training of KIST faculty members in VIT and deputation of teachers from VIT to KIST. VIT also provides education to Rwandan students at its institute in undergraduate, postgraduate and IT courses as per an MOU with the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Scientific Research, Government of Rwanda since 2002.
The Government of India offers scholarships and fellowships to Rwandans from the Government and private sector to enable them to pursue under-graduate, post-graduate and research courses in India. Training courses in highly specialised areas are also conducted for officers of public institutions.
Under ITEC/SCAAP, 15 slots were allotted to Rwanda for 2016-17. Three participants availed of training courses at the Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE), under IAFS during 2016-17. One participant was also trained in traditional medicine course under IAFS-III initiatives.
During 2015-16, 25 officers from the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) travelled to India to avail scholarships at various prestigious Indian Army training institutions. 4 Rwandan officers travelled to India for training at the Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping (CUNPK), New Delhi.
India's effort to contribute in process of Rwanda's Capacity Building and Human Resource Development is well appreciated by Rwanda.
Commercial relations
Bilateral Trade
Indian has consistently been one of the top import sources for Rwanda. The major items of India's exports to Rwanda include, among others, pharmaceuticals, vehicles, textiles, electrical machinery, optical and other precision instruments and plastics. Major imports from Rwanda include coffee, tea, mate, spices, salt, sulphur, earths and stones, pearls, precious and semi-precious stones and miscellaneous goods.
Annual Bilateral Trade Statistics
(Value in US $ Million)
Source: Ministry of Commerce, Govt. of India
President Paul Kagame has emphasized Rwanda's readiness to discuss and engage in business with investors from India and all across the world as the country seeks to be a business hub. The president made the remarks while speaking at the opening ceremony of the 8th Vibrant Gujarat Summit, a global business forum in India. One of the things highlighted in a joint statement issued during the visit of President Paul Kagame to India early this year was the development of the Export Targeted Irrigated Agriculture Project and its expansion under India's line of credit to the tune of $120 million. The project will bring irrigation facilities to Mpanga and Mahama sectors of Kirehe District. It will see the construction of watersheds works, farm mechanization and establishment of post-harvest processing units for agricultural produce.
In June 2016, an Indian company, M/s Aroma International, announced an investment of about USD 1 million in the laundry and detergent sector of Rwanda.
Indian Community
There are approximately 3000 Indian nationals and PIOs in Rwanda. Rwanda's only sugar refinery, its only modern textile mill as well as a soap and cosmetic factory are PIO-owned. The Government of Rwanda has a positive attitude towards the Indian community. During the genocide of 1994, no Indian national was killed or injured. The evacuation of Indian nationals by the Indian Government from Rwanda to Bujumbura and Nairobi was also not interfered with by RPF or the Government forces. The positive role that the Indian community plays in the Rwandan economy is well appreciated by the Rwandan Government.

Horror, Science Fiction
Uncork'd Entertainment
August 12th, 2014
Release length: 1:30:00
In the future, mankind is about to phase out of existence. A disease has plagued the world, sterilizing all women on the planet. There's only two left that are known to have the ability to give birth, and one of them has just died. An elite team of soldiers have been given the task to transport the last fertile woman to the safety of Earth 2. However, during the transport of this package, they are met by resistance, sending the team deep underground into a system of tunnels that acts as the lair of an insatiable creature that lies in wait for its next meal.
Tank (Nicole Alonso, Screen) and the rest of the small team is forced to crawl through a narrowing system of tunnels in hopes to outrun this creature they cannot kill. It doesn't take long for the alien beast to be introduced into the mix and start its feast, though you don't really get a glimpse of it until about half way through when Doc (Tommy Ball) must confront it to help the others escape. The creature itself winds up being a cheap spider knock-off of H.R. Geiger's design for the Alien franchise. The choice of species does end up playing a role the deeper in you get, allowing it to move faster than the humans can the tighter the pathways become.
The main issue with this concept as a whole is that, well, they're crawling through tunnels, most of the time the same one. There's very little background development as to what the virus is, and how the world came to be this way either, which would have been a nice addition to the hour plus of crawling. You don't even learn the main character's name until near the end of the film. Instead, the movie concentrates on presenting itself in a Cyber Punk world, literally throwing words at your face more often than absolutely necessary such as when Tank shouts they have to crawl, only to be cut off for a black and white filtered freeze frame and the word "CRAWL" engulfing the screen for a few seconds. Other than that, it's just a group of militarized individuals moving forward with no dialogue other than grunting and groaning, all the while you sit around just begging for the monster to pick someone off so you can see a quick murder instead of the metallic tube walls or dull grey stone walls.
There's also very little character development that you wind up not caring if most of the cast fail to make it out alive. The outcome of the film pretty much has no real meaning other than an introduction to what is planned to be a trilogy, which it painfully becomes obvious this is. The only person you'll end up giving a damn about is the Package (Torey Byrne) as she starts to trust Tank to get her out of this alive. For the most part, her lines are kept simply to the typical "I don't want to die" statements or updates on the alien's progression, but she does expand on her role on Earth 2 if she makes it. In fact, she's nothing more than a baby factory in this universe, explaining she will become impregnated, the life cycle sped up so the baby can be surgically removed early, and then almost instantly become pregnant again to repeat the cycle. But, sadly, even this isn't enough to really pull for her to survive, especially since nearly every death is foreshadowed with ten or more minutes of the creature coming, which by the way never stops making noise.
Of course, this is another of the many problems Crawl of Die has: It never shuts the hell up. Ever. If it's not something related to the score or meant to build try to build tension, it's the create constantly roaring, groaning, or eating. The noises it makes don't even sound that impressive. It sounds like poorly manipulated game sound effects from the late nineties stuck on a loop over and over again. They also rarely change volume, so the tension of it getting closer is left to visual cues, which end up being a moment of realization before the extensive wait for the inevitable. You could argue the sound effects are meant to be more of an ambient experience within the film, but given there's pretty much no variety to play on one's nerves or fear of the unknown, it only manages to induce a migraine instead of any sort of proper atmosphere.
As far as the cameras go, this film gets it right in two ways. Many of the shots utilized stick to that Cyber Punk/Science Fiction vibe nicely, even though it rarely stays on a single shot not a dramatic alien reveal longer than three seconds. It's also pretty clear that either the crew knew who the target demographic for this film was, or they were just a bunch of horny guys. While the cast themselves do a decent job at occupying time, the only two characters that actually matter are the Package and Tank. While the Package is dressed a little more respectably, Tank is basically walking around in a black tank top and matching panties (or short shorts, though I'm going more with the first than any sort of athletic gear or leisure wear, really). Given the tight conditions, there are plenty of shots that get a little too intimate with her butt, plenty of cleavage shots, and a number of moments focused on her camel toe.
Now, with all of this said, kudos definitely are in order for Torey and Nicole. These two wind up going through some of the tightest, most claustrophobic pathways you can possibly imagine. There's even one where Nicole has to lay on her back to get through an opening that seems to be almost as small as her frame. The same goes for Matthew Stephen Crabtree, who plays the alien in this movie, as well as the crew for being right there with everyone. Although it probably wasn't a problem for any of them given the view…
And that's what this film all boils down to, really. Unless you're claustrophobic yourself, Crawl or Die is simply a boring flick that panders to the male viewers (intentionally or otherwise) with plenty of up close and personal shots of the lovely ladies of this film. There's no ambience, there's no story development, and there's no pause in the sound effects or shot progression to let you digest anything. It's just a rapid fire assault of damn near nothing on the senses that gives you ten to twenty minute chunks of people crawling through tight spaces while you wait for the cue that someone is going to die in five minutes.. The worst part is that this is only the beginning, as addressed at the end when it is announced that there will be at least one more film (which is confirmed on the Facebook page, citing this as the start of a trilogy). When the behind the scenes footage and outtakes are better paced and more engaging than your actual film, a ninety minute experience that put me to sleep three times, you've clearly dropped the ball. So, unless you hate being trapped in tight corridors, Crawl or Die is just an incredibly painful film to sit through.

BUY THE FRESHEST SAVENTARO FROM US! Questions? Need help? Email My Question for Susan and Derek. We can help you.
Remember, when you buy the 4-Pak, you're paying just $13.50 per bottle. Wow.
Suggested use as a dietary supplement just 1 capsule daily.
Here's the back story.
Saventaro is produced by Austria's Immodel Laboratory based on the pioneering work of research scientist Klaus Keplinger, who was the first to figure out how to extract powerful Pentacyclic Oxindole Alkaloids from Cat's Claw bark in 1973.
For those who don't know, POAs are the active ingredients that give Cat's Claw its "oomph". TOA's are removed because under certain conditions and depending they weaken the effects of the POAs and have no significant health benefits.

Imagine engaging current digital and traditional artists to conceive and produce visual content based on future events that may or may not even happen? Abstract right? Not so much as it turns out…
Welcome to Meta Olympia, which is described as a unique media property that provides a glimpse into the future through the combination of digitally simulated sports, arenas and athletes of tomorrow.
Meta Olympia, in simpler terms, is a mash-up of sports, news, science fiction, art and technology co-conceived from minds of Chris Cheung (below) and Bing Lin who each have decades of experience high-tech services.
Meta Olympia seeks to design a framework where journalists, artists and creators can report on a future where 'we've made it'… and the game plays on.
– Chris Cheung
Cheung and his team use rule driven simulators that generate non-deterministic outcomes creating an arena that predicts and plays out a vision of tomorrow. This is not a plot-driven story in the sense that the outcome is linear or pre-deterministic. A real world multi-platform SIM running live using an editorial clock that runs parallel and in sync with their 60-year forward clock.
Conceptually, the narrative which drives the interaction is quite simple. The year is 2077 and humans have been colonizing Mars for 46 years. After decades of advancement and additional settlements, the Martian population exceeds 100,000 with 22% of that being naturally born citizens. There are dozens of settlements ranging in population from 400 to 19,000 people each with its own infrastructure and life support systems.
The MAFL (Martian Aero Football League) is formed and an official season is underway consisting of 8 clubs and a governing body, it is the first professional athletic organization on Mars.
The attraction to this concept is that the matches are decided by their customized generator which takes into account not only predefined rules but external factors as well. This in turn affects the character player profiles and personalities which are then interpreted by real-time journalists and illustrators who bring the actual results to life. So you get to follow and cheer for your favorite players and teams in a real time format, updated daily, for events that haven't even happened yet. Whew…
And since the lives and politics of the players and citizens are in play, think of this as a real time digital comic book only updated daily as opposed to weekly. Pretty cool stuff and we could be looking at the future of comic books. Its fantasy football meets nerd culture.
Chris is hoping to tap into the science fiction aspect as well as ultimately it plays as a glimpse into a possible future…
I want to believe that others will find this non-disposable approach to science fiction appealing. There are no sequels because it happens following real-time, just 60 years in the future, day by day.
This is obviously an abstract idea but one that relies an old adage. It needs consumers who enjoy character driven narratives but have not much interest in gaming or interactive story building. It is in the truest sense a spectator driven property.
Who knows, one day this could be the way we consume all digital media, through real time world building sims bringing us that much closer to the future of humanity and civilization.
It seems Chris and his team have their eyes on the prize and maintain a level of fun and imaginative exploration. Interesting how knowing "how it ends" in a non-linear structure hasn't killed the buzz…Cheung says:
What matters most is that we get a kick out of working on this. All the contributors love this ride. Not only do we all find, in our own way, something we love about the subject matter… we've all experiences being a little amazed by where the world takes our imagination.
Till next time…

How do you know if you're in love?
By Amy @ Planned Parenthood | Oct. 13, 2010, 6:52 p.m.
Category: Dating, Family, and Friends
how do you know what love is and if you actually love someone???
Good question! It's not always easy to know if we love someone — that's true for both teens and adults. Generally speaking, love is a strong caring for someone else. People demonstrate love by being there for each other, solving problems together, sharing hard times as well as good times, helping each other grow, and by being patient with each other.Love isn't the same thing as sexual desire. Sexual desire is a strong physical excitement and attraction. Sometimes people confuse sexual desire with love. People can love each other, or have sexual desire for each other, or feel both love and desire for the same person.

Migraine Suffering
For around five percent of Australians, migraines are an unbearable medical condition which can cause nausea, ache, sensitivity to light and sound and even loss of vision.
Migraine gets YOU out of order in almost no time
Many migraine sufferers report a very quick onset with almost no time to take appropriate medications. Glare, noise (even not loud) can exacerbate it within minutes.
Migraines are terrible headaches that typically can last from 4-72 hours. Migraines can be experienced from as little as once or twice a year, or as often as two or three times a week. The pain is severe, throbbing and can be on one side of the head or all over.
Migraines are thought to be caused by the dilation of blood vessels in the head. When dilated, these blood vessels tug at the nearby nerve receptors causing incredible pain to sufferers.
Type of help available
Migraines vary greatly from person to person and so do treatment options for it.
There are currently four prevention and treatment options available to migraine sufferers:
- Avoid the trigger factors - this can be difficult, since migraines are often triggered by a combination of factors, including various types of food or lack of it for a prolonged period of time.
- Drug treatment - including pain killers, anti-inflammatory preparations and other drugs to alter pressure on blood vessels. Oral drugs, sprays and injections are available.
- Preventative medication – drugs can be taken on a daily basis to reduce the number of attacks.
- Non-drug therapies - including acupuncture, biofeedback, goggles, hypnotherapy, exclusion diets, relaxation, yoga, meditation, herbal or homeopathic remedies
There is now another option available. It is a new use of a well-established anti-ageing medicine – due to TGA restrictions, the actual name of these 'anti-wrinkle injections' cannot be named, but is a common treatment for facial wrinkles also used to stop migraines. And it's gaining acceptance in the wider community.
Injections target the specific muscles that are overused using the technique of "following the pain".
At the time of treatment patient has to identify the areas that they believe are the origin of the migraines. The medication is slightly dilated and is then injected into the identified muscles. The injections work by impairing the muscle's ability to flex. Some doctors massage injection site to ensure proper dispersion of the medication.
Toxin produces muscle paralysis, but this alone does not explain how it may prevent migraine pain. Research indicates that it may affect the way pain signals travel through the nervous system, block pain receptors or even reduce inflammation.
All it takes is about 20 minutes for the migraine treatment by this method and it usually takes effect within a few days to a week.
Patients report
relief from migraines
for about 3-4 months*
Compared to other treatments for migraines, which often produce side effects like upset stomach, weight gain and drowsiness, 95 percent of the patients studied did not experience any side effects from the injection treatments for migraines.
It is very important to make sure you chose a doctor that is experienced in migraine injections specifically, rather than just someone who administers the toxin for anti-ageing purposes only.
Dr Merian Koh is highly skilled doctor with over 5 years experience in the industry. She is also Victorian trainer for Merz Aesthetics.
Treat your migraine quickly and effectively
with minimal discomfort.

Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader (AKA Stefon, AKA Herb Welch) and his wife Maggie Carey welcomed their second daughter into the world this past weekend. The name they chose for their newest bundle o' joy is darling. So darling, in fact, that another celebrity named their daughter the very same thing not that long ago.
But the cutest thing of all is how the newest Hader's name goes with her sister's. It seems to be kind of a trend. And a completely adorable one at that.
Bill and Maggie chose the name Harper for their newest addition (as in Harper Beckham). The name not only goes perfectly with their last name -- Harper Hader (yay, alliteration!) -- it goes perfectly with their eldest daughter's name, Hannah. Hannah and Harper Hader. Adorable!
I'm a huge fan of naming your kids -- be they two daughters, two sons, a daughter and a son -- names that start with the same letter. And if that letter also happens to be the one that starts your last name, even better. Perhaps it's partly thanks to the Kardashians, but I think it's super cute.
My husband and I have already talked about, if we have another baby, trying to give him or her a name that starts with the same letter as our daughter's name. And, bonus, it makes the whole naming process that much easier!
Do your kids' names start with the same letter?

Prof. Berhanu Abegaz (Molla)
Having worked at the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) for six years as the Executive Director, it was my routine duty to receive and review dossiers of many scientists for various categories of recognitions. One group of nominations was for recognition as AAS Fellows, the number of whom has now reached around 400, the majority of course from various African countries. However, there are also a small number of distinguished scientists from other parts of the world who are recognized for their expertise on Africa-based subjects.
A second group of nominations was for recognition as AAS Affiliates, targeting early-career scientists below the age of 40. Each year the Academy recognizes as many as five Affiliates from each of the five regions of the African continent. The 25 Affiliates for 2017 were announced recently, see; https://www.aasciences.ac.ke/aas-affiliates/cohort- 3.html
A third group was nominations for the various prizes that AAS was responsible for, including the highly coveted African Union scientific awards given in the name of the pan-African first Ghanaian President HE Kwame Nkrumah. AAS also partnered with the Germany-based Lindau Foundation and was able to secure the participation of many early-career African scientists at the meeting of Nobel laureates, which is held every year in Lindau, Germany. As many as 20 brilliant young African scientists attended the June 2017 Lindau meeting, which may have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hear the inspiring talks of as many as 30 laureates.
It is somewhat risky when one attempts to select and mention just a few of the best scientists because excellence is the basis for which all of them are recognized. However, for the purpose of this write-up, I would like to highlight a few about whom readers can easily understand why I made the particular choice.
First and foremost would be Professor Malik Maaza, an Algerian-born AAS Fellow now working and living in South Africa. Recently, in the last week of January, the African Union announced his name as one of two winners of the coveted African Union Kwame Nkrumah Continental Scientific Award. Professor Maaza is a materials scientist with an incredible record of having prepared many nanomaterials with unique properties and potential applications. He holds the UNESCO chair for materials science and has trained a large number of Africans from all parts of the continent.
My second choice is Fredros Okumu, an AAS Affiliate. I would like to refer readers to a recent TED Talk that he gave with the title; How_I_study_the_most_dangerous_animal_on_earth_the_mosquito
My third choice is also an Affiliate of AAS from Tanzania – Oscar Hilonga, who has made immense contributions in developing nanomaterials used to remove pollutants from drinking water (for example, metals or minerals such as copper and fluoride, biological contaminants like bacteria and viruses, and agrochemicals such as pesticides).
I am optimistic about the future of African science. It is only when we consider the small number of scientists and the relatively low level of investment to support African science that the contribution from the continent can be seen to be significant. This realization must encourage and justify more investment to increase both the number of scientists and the support necessary for them to do their important work. For example, I have consistently followed the annual Innovation Prize for Africa and I am amazed at the kinds of innovations that have been made.The 2017 winners can be found at; http://innovationprizeforafrica.org
Thank you. Hope you enjoyed this feature and keep an eye on our next blog. Dr. Nighisty Ghezae, IFS Director

Akhnoor Fort
Akhnoor Fort is on the right bank of Chenab River. Construction was started by Mian Tej Singh in 1762 AD and completed by his successor Raja Alum Singh in 1802. The fort has high fortification walls with bastions at regular intervals and is crowned with battlements. There are two-storeyed watch-towers at the corners, which are crowned by battlements and merlons. The fort has two parts which are bifurcated by a wall with a gate leading to the palace on the southern side. The palace is two-storeyed, and the walls facing the courtyard have decorated arches, some of which contain mural paintings. Access to Akhnoor Fort is obtained through both the river sides and the northern side. Formerly, a large part of the fort was in ruins; conservation work in progress.

It's rare that MiNT pass up the opportunity for a lively party, so who was ever doubting that MiNT Warehouse's sixth birthday would be anything less than a mammoth event? Calling upon Eats Everything's Edible brand for the special occasion, the Leeds party crew will welcome Josh Wink, Matador, Andres Campo and Eats Everything himself into their warehouse on Saturday 27th January.
Bristolian Eats Everything has made a name for himself for thumpy sets merging everything from big room house and techno to mental jungle, though it's in the former grounds that he spends most of his time. A seasoned selector and a producer whose tracks on Dirtybird and Pets Recordings have earned him plenty of fans, he's a big deal on the festival circuit and a regular at most of the UK's biggest parties. Calling up freaky techno expert Josh Wink and Ireland's sound genius Matador and celestial journeyman Andres Campo to assist him, he'll deliver exactly MiNT the birthday party that they always hoped to oversee.

President Trump on Wednesday praised his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort as a "brave man," saying he "refused to 'break' " during the prosecution that led to convictions Tuesday on eight tax- and bank-fraud charges in federal court.
In tweets, Trump sought to contrast Manafort's posture with that of Michael Cohen, the president's former attorney and fixer, who on Tuesday entered a guilty plea in a Manhattan federal court on eight counts.
Two of those counts implicated Trump directly, with Cohen saying he arranged to pay off two women to keep their stories of alleged affairs with Trump from becoming public before Election Day — in coordination with the then-candidate.
"I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family," Trump wrote. " 'Justice' took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to 'break.' "
"Such respect for a brave man!" Trump added in a tweet that was certain to raise speculation about whether the president might pardon Manafort at some point.
During a later briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she was not aware of any conversations about pardoning Manafort.
[Attorney says Cohen doesn't want to be 'dirtied' by a pardon]
A jury in Alexandria, Va., convicted Manafort on eight of the 18 tax- and bank-fraud charges Tuesday. The jury said it was deadlocked on the 10 others.
In his tweets, Trump seized on the counts on which Manafort escaped conviction.
"A large number of counts, ten, could not even be decided in the Paul Manafort case," Trump said, adding, "Witch Hunt."
Trump had previously criticized the prosecution of Manafort on charges unrelated to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation of Russian election interference, calling it a "hoax" in a tweet last month.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Trump broke his silence on the guilty plea by Cohen, writing in a wisecracking tweet that he would not recommend hiring him as an attorney.
"If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don't retain the services of Michael Cohen!" Trump wrote.
Trump later contested whether the campaign finance counts to which Cohen pleaded were valid.
Cohen has accused Trump of directing him to make payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film star Stormy Daniels to keep them quiet ahead of the 2016 election. Both women have alleged that they had sexual affairs with Trump, which he has denied.
During an interview with Fox News recorded Wednesday, Trump said he learned of the payments after they were made — an assertion at odds with Cohen's account.
Trump also stressed that his reimbursements to Cohen came from his funds and not his campaign. Cohen said Tuesday that the payments were meant to sway the election, making them a campaign violation.
"My first question when I heard about it was, 'Did they come out of the campaign?' " Trump said on Fox. "Because that could be a little dicey. And they didn't come out of the campaign."
On Twitter, the president contended the two counts of campaign finance violations to which Cohen pleaded "are not a crime."
"President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled!" Trump wrote.
Trump in his tweet did not spell out what he was referring to regarding former president Barack Obama, but he elaborated a bit more on Fox: "If you look at President Obama, he had a massive campaign violation, but he had a different attorney general, and they viewed it a lot differently."
In 2013, Obama's campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations in 2008. It was one of the largest fees levied against a presidential campaign.
[Why Cohen's claims are unlikely to lead to charges against Trump]
In his tweets, Trump also accused Cohen of having made up stories "in order to get a 'deal.' "
In comments to reporters and during a freewheeling rally in West Virginia on Tuesday night, Trump avoided any mention of Cohen.
While in West Virginia, Trump did offer brief comments on Manafort.
"Paul Manafort's a good man," Trump told reporters. The verdict, he said, "doesn't involve me, but I still feel, you know, it's a very sad thing that happened."

The US Court of Federal Claims awarded damages of more than $206 million to Plaintiffs/applicants in a case with respect to the cash grant under Section 1603 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). In its opinion, which was unsealed on Monday, October 31, the court held that the US Department of the Treasury had underpaid the Section 1603 Grants arising from projects in the Alta Wind Energy Center because it had incorrectly reduced Plaintiffs' eligible basis in the projects. In a separate case in the Section 1603 Grant context, the court awarded $450,000 to GUSC Energy, Inc. in connection with a combined heat and power biomass facility.

now that the holiday season is upon us, I am completely obsessed with all the possibilities of baking, creating, wrapping, making, dressing and just how awesome the holiday season can be (and one of my goals is to really enjoy and do a ton of fun things throughout the holidays so this series is really going to help me get that crossed off). From projects to fashion to decor to festivities, I want to share my holiday with you! (*I am also going to try to have a couple of giveaways in the next two months as well because who doesn't love receiving packages in the mail.)
First off, I thought I would share where I tend to get some of my holiday inspiration from (the ones in magazine form anyways). I also have tear outs from past issues of magazines that are all organized in a binder.
this is one of my go to magazine during the holiday (best gift ideas plus I love the all the fashion). A few other magazines I like to pick up include Country Living, Food Network, and Cooking Paula Deen.
I also have tons of inspiration I found online (I will be sharing some of those links next week). Where do you start looking for inspiration for the holidays? Next up some of my holiday must do list!
