Quick Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Don't be intimidated by homemade soup. Our recipe for chicken and dumpling soup comes together quick enough for even the busiest weeknights.
Why This Recipe Works
Store-bought broth proved a good substitute for homemade stock in our Quick Chicken and Dumpling Soup, especially after we added flavorful vegetables and seasonings. Shredding a precooked rotisserie chicken—available at most supermarkets—saved us cooking time as well as cleanup time. Rolled noodle-style dumplings were too labor-intensive for our streamlined stew. Dropped biscuit-style dumplings were easier to make and just as fluffy and soft.

Monuments of Fire
By Jeff Wood.
Between 2008 and 2010 Jeff Wood traveled with Eve Sussman and other members of Rufus Corporation through the former Soviet Caspian Region to research, develop and shoot whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir, a dystopian, noir thriller. From over 100 hours of footage, the film is live edited by an algorithm. Jeff developed and played the protagonist of the film, Mr. Holz, a geophysicist and mathematician hired by expatriate wildcatters to develop algorithmic code for an unspecified resource extraction project. Monuments of Fire is about the becoming (and unbecoming) of Mr. Holz, his reckoning with the algorithm, and the landscape from which they both arose. Mr. Holz and whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir are now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art.
Is it among men? Or is it remote? In the lines and shapes, in the dust and colors. In the things blowing. In the blunt, illegible forms erected like crude arithmetic against the shimmering playa. A sentient pattern arising from the very arrangement of things. Does it require a witness? Or is it content to unravel itself mutely across the black? Or to lie dormant, sequestered within the geology of millennia from those who would long it into transcription. The jurisdiction of faith, and of the deserted, and of men with tools forged to trace speculations of its form, in the arrangement of things.
When I returned, I spent days inside, wrapped in blankets, with very little in my brain; chemicals that don't know what they are yet, just sounds and some words that are not in any proper order. Alone – with all the time and real coffee that I could want, and no idea what to do with myself. The place that I am from is gone. That world is over. This is both true and not true. But out there, it was true.
Arise, comrades, and free yourselves from the tyranny of objects!
In 1915, two years before the Revolution, the renowned Russian painter Kazimir Malevich abruptly stopped painting things. Armed with the aphoristic certainty of his Suprematist Manifesto, Malevich demanded that Western art be finished with representation literally, cease to render real things, reality or any way in which we imagine reality to be. Painting, he deduced, had already done everything that was possible for it to do. Furthermore, photography and the emerging cinema could do reality better. Artists of all media must now with great emergency render form as transcendental iconography: form as a direct signifier of spiritual truth without distance or diversion and without the physical bounds of reality as a mediator. This expressed itself as a black square painted on a white canvas. And reality depended on it.
By hanging his Black Square in the upper corner of the salon at the Last Futurist Exhibition 0.10 in St. Petersburg — the "beautiful corner" where icons are displayed in traditional Orthodox households — Malevich was initiating a semiotic coup, a revolution in the organization of perception and identity. Malevich knew well that collective identity is curated through a circuit of mediation by propaganda or a fabricated system of resonating symbols. By unchaining himself from historic symbol-systems, he was also warning against the false icons of the future. The path of representation would, in the end, lead only to the simulacrum, the doppelganger… and, combined with an explosion in material production, the fetishization and the soap-operafication of everything: Reality TV. His manifesto was brilliant and insane and impossible, but somehow correct — that the end form of aesthetics would be the virtual reality. He found this prospect as abhorrent as the vacuum of Space itself, and so he chose Space. But the duality of attempting to represent non-representation is a double bind: all icons are false, or fictional, and yet without them the codification of consensual perception is impossible and cannot be culturally maintained. In failing to maintain the impossible vacuum of non-representation on Earth, Malevich could not have been more prophetic. But before he failed, he painted the Black Square and hung it between the Earth and the Moon as a chameleonic reflecting device, an opaque mirror perpetually shifting according to our projections of what we think anything is. Inspired in part by the abstract feeling of aerial photography, he declared, "I am the Ambassador of Space." Then he promptly went back to painting radical figurative portraiture like any good cosmonaut who makes it out alive.
In 1968, in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark reinvented the Black Square in four dimensions and planted it on the Moon. The Monolith (or Tycho Magnetic Anomaly) was Kubrick and Clark's solution to the problem of imagining the unimaginable. Sparking each macro-stage of human development from the dawn of tool usage to our arrival at the outer reaches of the galaxy, the Monolith catalyzes astronaut Dave's evolutionary leap from man to super-man. Again, as an opaque reflecting device, the Monolith summons from Dave's consciousness projections of both collective memory and his most transcendent (psychedelic) aspirations. Mind as imagination. Absorbed in the unlimited possibility of his own mind, reflected by the nothingness of the Monolith, Dave becomes Cosmonaut transfigured: Star Child, cosmic zygote, idea-as-life-seed, Earth-as-cell, consciousness, omniscience, time-space itself and the enfolding proto-hologram projected within his own cinematic interior as everything. The monolithic black square is the imagined blackboard upon which we project our imagining of the existence of everything: the infinitely full screen — a metaphor for metaphor.
The Monolith is impressive and forbidding, if not perfect. But I prefer Sputnik 1. Human history turns on Sputnik: the first artificial satellite to be launched into orbit, a deco orbital signal beacon that spent three lonely months circling the Earth and then burned up like a comet as it descended toward California. The R-7 launch vehicle that carried it had previously been intended to deliver nuclear warheads, while Sputnik alternately means "travelling companion" or "satellite". A loneliness terrifying and pristine, its form was sublime. A silver ball about the size of a basketball with four spidery punk-rock spindles extending backward at wind-blown angles. A design vision so elegant it must have seemed alive, almost sentient, hurtling through orbit, communicating something just by being there. Peel back the exoskeletons of Sputnik's hulking contemporaries and you will find piles of car batteries, gyroscopic apparatuses and glass vacuum tubes. But Sputnik, in its skin, was a glistening jewel. Like something a crow might intercept and drag back to its nest.
It is possible, reflecting on the torture that one must endure in the effortlessness of space, to imagine an inverse of Malevich's all-reflecting and annihilating Black Square. That is, by annihilating ourselves, and our attachments to the most fundamental elements of life: gravity, atmospheric pressure, endemic supply of oxygen and nitrogen… we may attain the most iconic, aerial and representational vision possible: the Earth, real and abstract slaying all our warring demigods, our horrendous biblical history, mute and infantile. Earthbound, for a brief time, Malevich sought the view, the supreme vista, by annihilating perception. In flight now, the view itself is life, illuminating everything we have destroyed. The metaphor evaporates, leaving us with the world.
The Absheron Peninsula of Azerbaijan juts into the Caspian Sea like a wolf's claw. The people in full afternoon dissipating as we push on through the northern outskirts of Baku and the hordes of traffic in brown clouds cleaving off and paring down to single lines in the dust, the road opening to a long, pluming ribbon. The city changing perceptibly but not quite dissolving. Block housing spreading out on either side of the road. The houses go on forever in waves over the barren hills of incendiary dust, as if they might spontaneously combust and vaporize. Neither desert nor steppe, but one vast construction site on the land — once some other landscape now razed and embanked with house after house, block upon block. And it must be one big mudfuck when it rains. Wet dogs roaming wildly down streets, map-less and without name. Rounding over the carcinogenic hills. Mountains of oceanography fossilized. Seashells piled in crustacean epochs, entire molluscan kingdoms crumbling and disintegrating into the airs.
We are inhaling a prehistoric ocean in the dust of the taxi and sweeping over the top of a rise, a gaping maw in the earth. A great crater yawning out in front of us. Ethereal light as though forced through a gauze. I squint to see into it, for miles. The land is like a mummy. Thick diesel strata in choking pigments. The road following down into the bottoms. A noxious lake. Oil derricks pocking the hillsides for as far as the eye can see. Autonomic pumps cycling their mechanical arms. Steel urns and domes, latticeworks of wires and cables, lines leading everywhere in some great conspiracy of Promethean conductivity. The landscape is so scraped and seared, so churned with smog and vapour that it is difficult to imagine exactly what is happening here. Winding and crisscrossed roads, paved and earthen, railroad stubs rusted. Buckled containers and tankers. Activity in the distance, a miasma of trucks rumbling, thundering rigs melding into a total sonic din, constant and droning like a tinnitus of the ears. The earth is howling. Yet the scale across the terran expanse appears as a child's train set, or a diorama.
There is no sky. Oddly positioned buildings, wherever they need be, in confusing states. Are they being built or demolished? Are they inhabited or abandoned, for living or industry; family, company, state or some other anarchic institution? The effect is disorienting and sinister. Children, barefoot and shirtless, riding bicycles along the gas lines, and the gas fires with goats and sheep. So overwhelming is the panorama that it wholly defies my comprehension, like opening up oneself for vivisection and seeing what was not meant to be seen. It is rapturous. Herzog's Faust. Swarms of blackbirds in vast operatic whorls. Blackbirds, starlings and magpies, two-toned Eurasian crows, rooks and ravens black as pitch, hounding the ground, splattering the open like ink. Innumerable black, feathered wings, like stained cotton swabs inscribing a thicket of lines and trajectories of indecipherable visual code, as if attempting to reformat the mind in a demonic confusion of illegible scrawling. Thousands upon thousands of them like locusts blighting, alighting on the ferric branchless acne, tormented and stirred to feverish agitation as if the earth itself were pained and maddened.
And the strangest, most specific littering of trash I have ever seen, as far as the eye can see: plastic bags. Millions of plastic bags blanketing the land at random and even intervals, as if placed there by all symphonic forces. Every color, but mostly translucent white plastic bags. Having blown from every last kiosk and corner store on earth, from every corner of the planet, drifted, sunk and eddied, and found their basin here. All like things gravitating. As far as I can see, I see plastic bags. It is spectacular. I am mortified, and deeply saddened, and ecstatic with bewilderment. And taking brief refuge in abstraction, I remember Sputnik, the Monolith and the Black Square, and I reconsider: perhaps when all is said and done the plastic bag will stand as the most sweeping and poignant icon of human achievement. But the landscape is heavier than metaphor and the air is leaden, draped in a scrim of inscrutability, something other than sadness, sharper than melancholy, and shallower. As if to see through it reveals only more of itself, and what it already is: the exchange of base things, a potlatch of kipple and murmur on the great chain of unending spasm and digestion. Gazing into that vivisection, in the narrow abyss between the human and the inhuman, it occurs to me that much of what we now recognize as apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic is merely the pulling back of the veil that hides from us our own infrastructure and the resources it requires, on a scale commensurate with our global endeavor.
Walking among the bags and the blackbirds, covered still in my layers of winter canvas and wool, goggles and gloves, my boots sink into the sphagnum of gunk. Acidic, acrylic pools resinous with oily iridescent orbits, like varnished wood grain. Miscellaneous sheets of plastic spiralling through the muck. Masses of indiscernible collage, fibreboard, gelatins of degrading organic matter, foodstuffs perhaps, body masses of things. A searing lemony drip in the back of my throat. Mucus also oozing from some collapsing brick wall. Bright, moving clay-earth substances like Play-Doh. More pools painted with temperature and minerals like sulphurous heat vents rich with sideshow organisms and mutations. And a mammal. Behind the soaked, wilting cardboard boxes, a dog pulling itself on its forearms and lying still, with no ears. I pull some crackers from my pocket and he wails, a penetrating moan, stay away from me. I circle around and stack the crackers on a stone, and I choke, drawing tears at the corners of my eyes. Spreading out from my fingers a sensation draws nerves across the boiling land like some great reef, sentient, throbbing and diseased. Cancerous acrid mist in my sinuses and a dull whine in my molars. I am faltering. A thing moving slowly. The coins in my pocket are oxidizing. Spine twisting. Curling. Curdling. It smells sweetly of burnt opium.
If all familiar signs are stripped from the land, can a new identity be forged from the sheer geometry of that alien landscape? Pipes running along the road, always pipes along the road, against the bitter waste and the block buildings and the lumbering incidents of livestock. And down the road, along the pipes, tombstones. A cemetery beneath the smoking towers. Behind it, beyond the haze, the city: Omega. Having passed through the end of the world now, the world has not ended. It outlives itself. In the geometry of empathy and interdependence at the end of the world, we are still from here. I have dreamed that I saw the new city. I dreamed everything was beautiful. And I continue along the road toward City-A.

"It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it": does obesity affect perceptual motor control ability of adults on the speed and accuracy of a discrete aiming task?
The ability to control speed and accuracy of goal directed aiming tasks underpins many activities of daily living. Recent evidence has begun to suggest that obesity can affect the control of movement. This study evaluated perceptual motor control of 183 normal weight, overweight, and obese participants using a discrete Fitts' task on a digital tablet. In addition, we manipulated tablet orientation to determine whether tablet orientation influences task difficulty with the view to increase the task's constraints. Our study found that the traditional relationship between target distance and target width hold true for each of the three weight groups in both tablet orientations. Interestingly, no significant differences were found for movement time between the groups, while movement kinematics differed between weight groups. Obese participants demonstrated significantly higher peak acceleration values in the horizontal tablet orientation when compared to their normal weight and overweight counterparts. Further to this, obese participants made significantly more errors than normal weight and overweight groups. These findings suggest that obese individuals have altered control strategies compared to their normal weight peers.

Happy Tuesday Morning!
I have a confession --
I have my sewing studio and I also have a spare room inside my house
where I keep my batting, present wrapping stuff, and odds and ends.
This room is also where I take my pictures of the finished quilts.
The room is such a mess I can't get in there to take a picture.
Shame! Shame! Shame!
I thought about straighten it up, but then I don't think I would get the four
quilts finished that I need to before I go back to the beach so I chose to
take pictures in my studio.
Sorry about the photo's
a close up
I used all stash fabric for this quilt - Yeah ! ! !
I quilted a heart panto but
at the top of the quilt where the name is I did swirls (first time
and I needed more practice) and
outlined the name
I used fleece for the backing -
it is so soft.
Thanks for looking!!!
until later - Carol

The Eskimos scored an impressive 37-3 win over the B.C. Lions Saturday, their third straight victory that wrapped up second place in the CFL West Division.
"It's been a long time coming. We've been trying to put four quarters together and it was good to be able to go in (the locker room) tonight and brag on them a little bit," Jones said after the one-sided win before 26,388 fans. "Minus a few missed assignments here and there we played an extremely solid football game."
The Eskimos scored on their first two possessions for a 10-0 lead that they extended to 20-3 by the half. They scored on their second possession of the third quarter and were up 30-3 going into the final 15 minutes. It was only the second time this season the Lions defence had given up more than 29 points.
"It wasn't perfect football, but if I remember right we got a field goal our first drive, a touchdown our second drive," said quarterback Mike Reilly who completed 14 of 24 passes for 289 yards while running for two touchdowns. "We played real good right from the start.
"Our defence is playing real good football, gave us the ball in good position and we were converting it into points. Our offensive line did a phenomenal job … gave me plenty of time to throw and opened up some lanes for myself and John (White)."
Reilly, White and linebacker J.C. Sherritt were outstanding.
White ran 17 times for 122 yards and caught four passes for 80 yards, his second 200-yard game of the year.
"He's just a real fireball, he runs real hard, he's never going to go out of bounds and if you're in a position to tackle him he's going to pop you and make you pay for it," Reilly said of White.
"It seemed like every time he touched (the ball) he was getting 10 plus yards. He's a nice luxury to have."
Reluctant to talk about himself, White did admit it was a "pretty awesome" performance and "a pretty awesome win."
"Everyone wants to talk about my skip," he said of a little stutter-step hop he took in the middle of a 30-yard run that set up Edmonton's first touchdown in the ninth minute. "I don't know man, it just comes out. Any move it just comes out."
On the defensive side Sherritt had eight tackles, three quarterback sacks and forced a third-quarter fumble the Eskimos recovered and turned into a scoring drive. He admitted it may have been his best game of the season for himself and the defence.
"We're getting down to it and the team that can get the momentum and start shining late is going to have a good shot (in the playoffs). That's what we were focusing on, playing a complete game. We wanted to make sure we started fast and ended fast."
Sherritt saw his CFL single-season tackle record of 130 broken by Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian, who had 12 tackles for a total of 136 on the year.
"He's a player I really respect in this league," Sherritt said. "If your record is going to fall you want it to fall to a guy who deserves it and he deserves everything he got."
The Lions dropped to 9-8 and into a tie with Saskatchewan for third place going into the final week of the regular season. Their offence, under the direction of Kevin Glenn most of the day, finished with just seven first downs and 161 total yards. Edmonton had 30 first downs and 559 yards total offence.
B.C's only points came on Paul McCallum's first-quarter 21-yard field goal. Edmonton's other touchdowns were scored by backup quarterback Pat White on a 10-yard run and a five-yard White to Calvin McCarty pass. Hugh O'Neill kicked three field goals and four converts.

text: the 'nice but probably not going to repurchase' products 21.4.16 I have a fairly sizable makeup collection - which means I've spent a lot of money on a lot of products that are just kinda sitting around most of the time. Which also means that I've gathered a fair amount of pricey products that I don't regret buying the first time, but like a summer fling - as great as it was, it's not something that I would go back to once it's over. I am neither confirming nor denying the whole summer fling thing. These are some of the products that fall under said category. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in Boy: Maybe I'm biased as I like a good satin/matte opaque lipstick. But there's something about seeing your expensive lipstick literally leaving a bit of itself behind on your coffee mug that makes your heart (and wallet) bleed a little bit. Boy is a gorgeous beige, pink nude shade that has just the right amount of sheen to add a little pout but still look sophisticated. While I do love the lipstick, I'd hesitate ever purchasing this again as the c/p value of the lipstick just isn't quite there as it wears off quite quickly and is a sheer nude colour that comes with a hefty price tag. Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick in Bad Blood: I had long debates with myself before finally deciding to include this in the roundup. I love almost everything about this lipstick - from the name to the packaging to the formula and the colour. I even wrote up a whole review on this lipstick and deemed it my '2015 holiday shade'. But as gorgeous as it is, there's one small gripe that's preventing me from turning this into a lasting relationship - the shape of the bullet. Now I'd like to think that I'm quite seasoned when it comes to throwing on a red lipstick. But the shape of this lipstick combined with the creamy and ridiculously pigmented formula makes this a lipstick that requires a lot of application work. This would definitely be the perfect red lipstick if Urban Decay didn't get creative with the lipstick shape and just stuck to the traditional bullet shape. Bobbi Brown Brightening Powder: I think the £40/$54 price tag speaks for itself. The packaging is also stunning if you take care of it and don't chuck it wherever. However, I'm a firm believer in drugstore powders - in fact, this is the only high-end powder I own. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful powder - to look at and to apply. But give me the same amount of money to splurge on one product and it definitely wouldn't be this. I was young and naive and ridiculously irresponsible with money when I bought this. I'm only slightly less mortified by my insane 'I GOT ALL THE MONEY' way of spending because this is without a doubt, one of my most used powders. That said, it is one of my oldest powders, so that factor should also be taken into consideration. Bobbi Brown Eye Blender Brush: Yes, this is the second Bobbi Brown product in a list of four. I really really like the brand, but it was also one of my first ever makeup brands, meaning that I bought a lot of products when I didn't know what I was doing. This brush was one of those products. Not going to lie, I totally bought this brush for how soft it was. Plus, I was just getting into eyeshadow and after alarming messages of how blending was the absolute key to not looking like a clown, it seemed only right that I get an 'eye blender' brush. Fast forward to now, I'm not actually sure what to do with this brush other than pretend that it's a kitten paw? The large size makes it quite hard to blend eyeshadow without getting it all over the eye area. I do use it for setting my under eye concealer and sometimes to highlight and contour. But quite frankly, I only bring out this brush when I'm putting more effort than the usual 'one brush fits all' routine. These are in no way bad products or 'ordinary' products and I do adore the ones I've mentioned. But I just don't love them enough to justify spending the price tag the second time around.

Waitangi Day Celebrations ('One Love NZ' Day)
Press Release - 6 January 2000
Waitangi Day Celebrations ('One Love NZ' Day)
6 February 2000, 11.00 am - Okahu Bay, Auckland
Happy New Year! Now that the clock has ticked over into the new millennium, it's time for New Zealanders to examine deeper issues affecting their country.
Racial harmony, multiculturalism and the country's 'Maori' branding have often been touted by the government, tourism industry and advertisers as things which makes us unique.
To celebrate this uniqueness, Ngati Whatua is hosting an event at Okahu Bay on Waitangi Day to commemorate New Zealand's identity.
Called the 'One Love NZ' Day, the event is a joint venture between Waiata Artists Trust and Catalyst Trust. Organisers say the day will be similar to a carnival, with stalls, arts, crafts, live music and canoe making demonstrations within the beautiful grounds of Okahu Bay. Shortland Street's Shimpaal Lelisi will also be putting in an appearance, as well as reggae singer Tigilau Ness, father of singer Che Fu.
It will also incorporate the annual 'One Love' concert which commemorates reggae singer Bob Marley's birthday on 6 February. Greens MP Nandor Tanzos is a veteran organizer of the event and will help co-ordinate the concert though in a lesser role because of his parliamentary commitments.
The Auckland Waitangi Day events have been run by Waiata Artists for the past four years, but it's the first time they've officially joined forces with Ngati Whatua and Catalyst Trust ('One Love' concert organisers). Waiata Artists are the first Waitangi Celebration organisers to webcast Waitangi events live on the internet (since 1997). Information about this event can be found at www.pasifika.net or www.webworkshop.co.nz/waitangi.
In previous years, Waiata Artists' Waitangi Day events have included church services at St Matthews in the City and presentations of the 'Aotearoa Awards' to notable New Zealanders such as Labour's John Tamihere, sportsmen Barry McGee, Graham Norton and Mark Cooksley, Access Radio in Auckland and the tv programme 'Asia Dynamic'.
These events will be repeated again this year as well as a service at Mt Roskill's Wesley Church and a poetry night at a café in Karangahape Rd.

As a Texan who's fallen prey to paternity fraud, you may be wondering exactly how much damage it's done. Unfortunately, fraudulent paternity claims can make a huge financial, mental and emotional impact on you.
No-fault divorce comes under fire
As divorce rates decline around the nation, and according to the Houston Chronicle, fall even faster in Texas, one lawmaker has introduced a bill to re-attach fault to divorces. A Republican representative out of Fort Worth, Matt Krause, has proposed an end to no-fault divorces in the Lonestar state. Krause believes that removing "insupportability" as grounds for filing divorce and forcing a couple to assign blame to one party in order to end the marriage could help to preserve these unions.
Retired pay in a military divorce
When a member of the U.S. military in Texas gets divorced from a spouse, there are no doubt many concerns on the part of both spouses related to specific military benefits. One issue that may arise is whether or not the non-military spouse might have access to some portion of the military personnel's retired pay.
Father's rights in Texas: Times could be changing
In Texas, parental rights have been in the news recently because of a bill, introduced in February 2017, which could change the way child custody cases work. According to WFAA, if passed, Texas House Bill 453 could change the way custody battles are determined in divorces across the state. The term "fathers' rights" typically refers to several relevant areas in family law, including paternity, child support and child custody, and advocates for HB 453 say that the law will give fathers equal footing in cases relating to child custody disagreements.

Jim was born Dec. 20, 1927, in Leavenworth, Kansas, the son of Leonard P. Robinson, Sr. and Helen (Simanowitz) Robinson.
Dee was born March 9, 1928, in Fairmount, North Dakota, the daughter of Sidwin R. Berglin and Hattie Mae (Kelly) Berglin.
Jim served in the U.S. Navy on a Destroyer, the USS Mustin, in the South Pacific in World War II from 1943-1945. Dee was a 1948 graduate of the Cadet Nurse Corps program at Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Valley City, North Dakota. They met at the VA Hospital in Leavenworth, Kansas, after World War II, where Jim was a patient, and Dee was his nurse. They were married on May 2, 1949, in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Jim and Dee are survived by their son, Chris Robinson of Green Valley, Arizona; and two daughters, Terri Robinson of Green Valley, Arizona; and Sheila (Ben) Hochberg of Denver, Colorado.
Jim is also survived by three siblings, Michael Robinson, Patti Myers, and Ruth Sullivan, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Leonard P. Robinson, Jr, and three sisters: Betty Hosler, Alice Gonzalez, and Barbara Wacker. Dee is survived by two siblings, Fay Piontkowski and Arlene Quick, and numerous nieces and nephews.

They had a great love for each other all their lives, and enjoyed all that life has to offer. They traveled the world, making friends everywhere they went, and enjoyed boating in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. Their joy of life will be remembered and missed by all who knew them.
Their combined remains will be interred at Leavenworth National Cemetery, close to the VA hospital where they met.

Time and again, India has been considered a lucrative market for doing business. The volume of foreign investments is an indicator of the promising future of the Indian economy. Among the emerging markets, China and India are the two nations that are likely to be instrumental in boosting global trade. As a result, an increasing number of international conglomerates are keen on investing in these markets, especially India.
One of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in developed nations is that they are constantly competing with local players. For these businesses, getting a unique idea to enter the market is nearly impossible, and there are greater chances of multiple players operating on similar concepts. It is, therefore, more viable for such businesses to explore international markets for expansion.
The Indian economy offers a favourable business environment, wherein companies can make the most of their expansion plans by identifying their growth opportunities at a granular level. Doing business in India has several advantages because of its development-friendly reforms.
Here are the top advantages of starting a business venture in India:
1. Scope for sustainable business
In the coming years, economic growth in India will centre in the emerging cities, with some of the largest development plans for infrastructure. McKinsey Global Institute(MGI) estimates that by 2025, 69 cities in India will have a population of over one million each. This is going to translate into a greater need for businesses to support livelihoods.
Further, the transition from the rural to the urban areas will mean that a greater portion of the population will join the middle-income strata. As per the report by MGI, Mumbai's economy is likely to become a huge market of US$245 billion in consumption by 2030.
Companies entering India in the near future can easily sail through the favourable conditions. The business opportunities offered in India should be one of the key reasons to establish one's venture in this country.
2. Organised employability
Employability is undoubtedly the deciding factor for any business starting operations in a new market. India boasts of a labor force of nearly 530 million, of which the majority is under 30 years of age.
The proportion of the Indian population in the working age group (18-59 years) is likely to reach more than 64 per cent by 2021. In fact, the median age in India is 27.6 years, compared to the U.S.'s 37.9, which means that more years of service are available in the Indian market. Further, the aspirations of the Indian youth have changed. They are now looking for opportunities beyond agriculture or daily wage jobs. Businesses can leverage this opportunity by generating employment and increasing productivity.
3. Economical operational costs
With the Central Government of India's developmental goals, the ease of doing business in this country has increased rapidly. Foreign direct investment of up to 100 per cent into a private limited company or limited company no longer requires the Central Government's intervention. This reduces the overall cost of setting up a business in India.
The cost of the basic amenities required for businesses is lower in India, whether it is investing in infrastructure, labour, food, transportation, Internet, or even taxes. Everything is much more affordable, compared to setting up a company in the U.S., the U.K., or even Singapore.
Additionally, India's urban transformation represents a huge opportunity for international businesses to avail the combination of providing capital, technology and strategic knowledge to the workforce, along with a customer base for the goods/services produced.
4. Presence of a startup ecosystem
For any new organisation, the business culture of the economy is very important. Introducing a differentiating aspect in the business idea can be tough, but it differs globally. India is a hub for certain kinds of startups, including technology, e-commerce, and financial services. The fact that the Indian market is open to accepting new business ideas makes it easier for new businesses to enter it. Of course, you need to ensure that you have the right strategy as that can guide you through the tough times, as well.
5. Business-friendly laws
A lot of countries are skeptical of privatisation. As a result, more companies from developed nations are establishing new operations in countries where they don't have to deal with stringent policies. In the recent years, several important bills that are beneficial for most industrial sectors have been passed in the Indian Parliament. Starting from the Goods and Services Tax Bill to the Direct Taxes Code Bill, these bills are going to introduce transparency and uniformity in the Indian economy.
Additionally, the Indian government's Make in India initiative focuses on 25 industrial sectors and aims at building best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure by enabling foreign investments, promoting innovation through skill development, and focusing on intellectual property protection.
These business-friendly laws make it easy for international players to actualise their plans of entering India. On implementation, these Bills will increase the efficiency in the movement of products across India. But, the most important law is the Land Acquisition Bill that promotes the twin objectives of social justice and industrial development in the country.
In conclusion
Starting business operations in new markets is not a decision to take lightly. You need to give a lot of consideration to this move because it can easily go wrong and businesses can be compelled to incur grave losses. Because of its several advantages, foreign businesses can clearly take advantage of what the Indian economy has to offer, in order to execute growth and expansion strategies.

The 2007 U.S. Attorney firing scandal raised the specter of political bias in the prosecution of officials under federal corruption laws. Has prosecutorial discretion been employed to persecute enemies or shield allies? To answer this question, I develop a model of the interaction between officials contemplating corruption and a prosecutor deciding whether to pursue cases against them. Biased prosecutors will be willing to file weaker cases against political opponents than against allies. Consequently, the model anticipates that in the presence of partisan bias, sentences of prosecuted opponents will tend to be lower than those of co-partisans. Employing newly collected data on public corruption prosecutions, I find evidence of partisan bias under both Bush (II) and Clinton Justice Departments. However, additional evidence suggests that these results may understate the extent of bias under Bush, while overstating it under Clinton.

While looking out of a window during a severe electrical storm last Saturday morning, Joseph Locke, 25 years old, farmer of Mullica Hill, N.J., was struck by lightning and killed. The bolt set fire to the room in which he was standing but the flames were extinguished without great damage. Keep away from windows during electrical storms.

Nasty Gal's 'Wild for the Night Crop Sweater' is a unique piece of autumn attire. Though this garment is designed to keep wearers warm and stylish, this sweater also features summer-style qualities.
In a silhouette that is shorter than most sweaters, the Wild for the Night Crop Sweater is made of gold and black ribbed lurex and features a crew neckline complemented by long sleeves. Though there is ribbed paneling throughout the garment, the highlight of this sweater is the embedded triangle bikini. This unusual style makes the sweater look as if it has encased a geometric bikini top within its blend of viscose, cotton, nylon and spandex.
Still a fall/winter garment nonetheless, the Wild for the Night Crop Sweater allows wearers to bring their love for summer into the colder seasons.

June Favorites!
I can't believe June is already over! That means my summer is half way over, what?! So here are some of my favorites from the month of June. Also, sorry I've been totally MIA since the summer has started, I've just been super busy, but I'll try to be better about blog posts.
1. Alex and Ani bracelets - I know I really missed this trend because these have been popular for a while. I just got my first one (and second one) yesterday and I totally love them. They are super cute, and stackable, and plain enough that they go with everything. I got the fish one and the "N" one.
2. Rockateur blush by benefit - So I have been using a hand-me-down blush from my mom for ages and it really doesn't match my skin tone and it's beyond old (think like 5 years at least). I am such a make up junkie that I couldn't stand that my blush was so bad when the rest of my make up was so good (I've been investing a lot in nice make up lately). While I was in NYC last weekend I went to Benefit and told the woman "I'll buy whatever blush color you think matches my skin best". And I ended up with this one! I love it so much. The color is a perfect rosy pink, it has some shimmer but not too much, and it smells amazing! Every time I put it on I feel like I'm putting on some powder perfume. Also it doesn't bother my skin at all. That's what I call a win win.
3. The Body Shop - I used to go to The Body Shop all the time when I was younger because my mom loves their green tea line (the blemish fade is awesome) but I never got anything because I thought it was wildly over priced. I went again recently and I think they must have redone their pricing because everything was much more reasonable. My favorites are the 2 for $10 and 3 for $10 bins and the mini perfumes.
4. Hot Yoga - I was trying so hard to find a nice gym to join in the Albany area and was hitting a wall at every turn and a coworker suggested a hot yoga place by my office. Hot yoga is great! It is such an awesome work out and its also calming and relaxing (just make sure you're hydrated because you will sweat buckets). Also the place I go to does some cool classes like barre yoga (combines ballet and yoga) and iron yoga (combines weight lifting and yoga).
5. Spotify - I was starting to get really tired of Pandora and I've heard great things about Spotify and figured I'd give it a try. I totally love it because it's more customized than Pandora (and seems to have less ads) but I'm really struggling with figuring out how to work it. I'll keep you guys posted because my plan is to start doing my blog playlists on Spotify and just link them here.
6. Macarons - When I was in NYC last weekend I made sure to go to Laduree in Soho because I've always heard such great things about their pastries. I got 6 macarons and let me tell you I was in heaven! Those things were so good I could eat them forever. I want to buy the cook book so I can try making them on my own (future post? maybe ;) ).
7. Savina nail polish in Passion Pink - ok I'm not going to lie this formula is awful but I am so addicted to the color. And trust me I can not find this color anywhere else (I have about 10 neon pink nail polishes that basically all look the same).
8. Nook app - I have iBooks and the Kindle app but Nook is by far my favorite. I got introduced to it by my roommate because we have such similar taste in books and she wanted to share her books with me but she mostly reads ebooks. That is what is cool about the Nook app is that you can share books with your friends. It is awesome.
What are some of your June favorites?
A little about me
Natalie. 26. Mechanical engineer. Mining and Minerals Engineering graduate from Virginia Tech. I love pugs, pink, crafting, feminism, makeup, and reading.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:25-26)
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. (Ps 121: 6-8)
Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank you that you are my keeper and the shade on my right hand. Thank you, Lord for keeping me from all evil and watching over everything that concerns me, my whereabouts, my children, my career, my circumstances, my calling.... my fears and my dreams. Whom do I have in Heaven beside you, Lord? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my Savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my Shield, the Power that saves me, and my place of safety. The LORD is my Rock, my Fortress and my Deliverer; my God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I praise you Lord, as nothing is impossible nor too hard for you... Lord, you can do anything but fail... Father, you are forever faithful..
Lord, I am confident that you are in complete control and there is nothing under God-control that is out-of-control. So I shake off last season of failure and frustration. I command God-control over every chaos and confusion in all my circumstances, conditions, challenges, and concerns, in Jesus Precious and Matchless name. Amen

It just happened that I was reading others blogs and checking new ones out when I came across someone mentioning P3 Designs and thought I need to go to the website and see if anything new is out and sure enough she has a new BOM that is free for a month, then it will cost.
Here is the layout.
And these are the months blocks.
If you are interested in this, hurry and go to the website, then to shopping/downloadable patterns and add the pattern to your cart. It's free but you still have to go through all that to get it.
But its worth it if you ask me.
Also I have my right sidebar all the other BOM's I have found so far.
Over at Estheraliu she has a new one she started and I am drooling over cause its all in blue
Oma's Blue
That's a must see.
If you know of any others, I would love it if you could share it with me and others by please leaving the info in the comments.
