The Left's Last Hope: Eric Schneiderman Carries the Mantle During the Right's Resurgence | Politicker The New York Observer
Share this:TwitterFacebookRedditGoogle +1EmailPrint On Sunday morning, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sat in a back room of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, one of Harlem's most storied chapels, and prepared to give his first Sunday sermon. Hundreds of parishioners sat in the pews, along with a few hundred more tourists, expecting to hear the kind of stirring oration for which Abyssinian has long been known.
After the budget was done, and Governor Cuomo was basking in the accolades, Mr. Schneiderman began to assert himself. In the wake of the Japanese earthquake, he won a federal ruling that makes the Indian Point nuclear power plant's relicensing contingent on safety and emergency response upgrades; he is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its failure to study the effects of natural gas drilling; and he subpoenaed the state's largest foreclosure law firm in an investigation of possible improprieties.
Mr. Schneiderman's allies hope it will be a definitive case for his office. They share a view that Mr. Spitzer, and to a greater degree Mr. Cuomo, were more focused on generating headlines than actually seeing investigations all the way through.

Trina is reportedly surrounded by her loved ones as she mourns the loss of her mother, Nessa. They were very close. The rapper even recorded a song in 2017 dedicated to her mother.

“Love & Hip Hop’” star Trina is mourning the loss of her mother, Vernessa Taylor who has died at the age of 62. Nessa, as she was fondly called, lost her battle with cancer.

A MESSAGE FROM TRINA'S REP
Trina’s rep confirmed the news to TMZ and sent a statement of thanks for thinking of Trina in this trying time.
"Thank you all for your kind words and condolences regarding Trina’s mother. It truly gives the family some peace and comfort knowing that 'Nessa' lived such a fulfilling life filled with love and abundance."
Privacy was requested as Trina's family mourns. She is reportedly surrounded by her loved ones as she grieves. She’s believed to have been very close to Nessa.

AN ODE TO HER MOTHER
Last year, Trina threw her mother a lavish birthday party to celebrate her birthday. It was held at a rooftop and seeing clips from the affair, it was evident Nessa was already ill at the time as she struggled to walk.
In 2017, the Miamai rapper paid tribute to her mother through her song, “Mama". She even mentions in her lyrics that she would “rather go first” because “I can’t do this without you.”

Trina would often credit her mother for seeing her through her difficulties and providing her the solid foundation for her success.
In the same song, she speaks of her mother’s influence in her life.
“Gave birth to your baby girl/ You always warned me 'bout these streets and this crazy world/ Taught me how to survive and keep my head up/ Taught me how to be a lady, stack my bread up.”
Advertisement
HER MOTHER'S STRONG INFLUENCE
Nessa was known to be an activist who advocated for self-love and confidence among women. This is probably why Trina is very big on feminism too.
In a 2017 interview with Huffington Post, the 44-year-old admitted being a feminist and even shared that she’s often a pillar for her girlfriends. “I have a lot of girlfriends and women have always clung towards me”, she said and reveals giving advice and telling her friends not settle for just anything.

CLARIFYING RUMORS ABOUT A RIFT WITH NICKI MINAJ
Trina was recently in the news for a reported misunderstanding with Nicki Minaj with whom she collaborated for their song, “BAPS.” Trina clarified that she harbored no ill feelings towards Nicki and neither is she disrespectful towards her.
Meanwhile, we’re certain Trina is in the saddest state of her life right now with her mother gone. We hope she finds solace in this melancholy time.

Submissions for variant NM_003494.3(DYSF):c.3113G>A (rs150877497) - ClinVar Miner
Submissions for variant NM_003494.3(DYSF):c.3113G>A (rs150877497)
CeGaT Praxis fuer Humangenetik Tuebingen RCV000493116 SCV000780666 likely pathogenic not provided 2018-02-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing
EGL Genetic Diagnostics,Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics RCV000493116 SCV000701408 pathogenic not provided 2017-04-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing
GeneDx RCV000493116 SCV000582561 pathogenic not provided 2018-01-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The R1038Q pathogenic variant has been previously observed in multiple unrelated individuals with DYSF-related disorders, who harbored an additional DYSF variant, referred for genetic testing at GeneDx and in the published literature (Cagliani et al., 2003; Krahn et al., 2009). Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry demonstrated individuals harboring R1038Q had reduced dysferlin (Cagliani et al., 2003; Xi et al., 2014; Nagaraju et al., 2008). The R1038Q variant is observed in 11/111,482 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of European background (Lek et al., 2016). This variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support a deleterious effect. Therefore, we interpret R1038Q as a pathogenic variant.
Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory,Illumina RCV000555598 SCV000914939 pathogenic Dysferlinopathy 2017-04-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The DYSF c.3113G>A (p.Arg1038Gln) variant has been reported in at least six studies and is found in a total of nine patients with dysferlinopathy, including one homozygote, four presumed compound heterozygotes, one patient where four other variants in this gene were also identified, one heterozygote, and two patients in whom the genotypes were not specified (Cagliani et al. 2003; Nagaraju et al. 2008; Krahn et al. 2009; Xi et al. 2014; Shin et al. 2015 and Quinn et al. 2016). The p.Arg1038Gln variant was absent from 300 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.00018 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Analysis of protein from muscle tissue revealed 4% residual dysferlin compared to wild type (Cagliani et al. 2003). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg1038Gln variant is classified as pathogenic for dysferlinopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.
Invitae RCV000555598 SCV000649653 likely pathogenic Dysferlinopathy 2017-04-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 1038 of the DYSF protein (p.Arg1038Gln). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is present in population databases (rs150877497, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with one of the autosomal recessive conditions of either limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (LGMD2), Miyoshi myopathy (MM), or DYSF-deficiency associated with exercise intolerance. In the majority of these cases, this variant occurs with a second pathogenic variant in DYSF, which suggests the c.3113G>A substitution may contribute to disease (PMID: 14678801, 18853459, 18832576, 25591676). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224664). In several cases, biopsied muscle tissue from affected patients carrying this variant along with a second pathogenic DYSF variant were found to be devoid of DYSF protein expression by immunohistochemistry and/or western blot (PMID: 18276788, 25591676). In summary, this variant is a rare missense change that has been identified in the population and in affected individuals. The co-occurrence of this variant with additional pathogenic truncating DYSF variants in affected individuals lacking DYSF protein expression suggests this variant contributes to disease. However, additional data is needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics RCV000596380 SCV000803534 likely pathogenic Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2B 2018-05-31 criteria provided, single submitter curation This variant is interpreted as a Likely Pathogenic, for Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, type 2B, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PM2 => Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. PP3 => Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. PM3-Supporting => PM3 downgraded in strength to Supporting (PMID:18276788). PS3-Moderate => PS3 downgraded in strength to Moderate (PMID:18276788) (PMID:14678801).

Manuscript Evaluation – C Maddux Write LLC
Preparing your novel for publication by unlocking it's full potential
Send the first 50 pages of your manuscript to get a first impression, at-a-glance, reader insight to the opening of your book. Includes a 1-2 page critique for recommended changes.
A thorough sweep and in-depth analysis of the entire manuscript is done to sniff out strengths and weaknesses, provided with in-document commentary.
30,000 word maximum
$200 per 10,000 words
With all the details in hand, receive either a multi-page written report based on the overall process, or a 90 minute discussion by video meeting to go over improvements.
Why is an Evaluation important before publishing?
Creating a manuscript is an exciting venture for every author, but once your finished writing your draft, the work doesn't stop there.
Literary Agents and Publishers are often sought out to make a manuscript a hard copy, but one thing many authors fail to realize is how picky and thorough they can be. Every word will be scrutinized, right down to grammar, punctuation, spelling, structure and the overall flow of the entire book.
Most agents and publishers refuse to read more than the first 50 pages of your manuscript to determine if it's worth their time, so it is prudent to make sure every piece of your novel is perfect – and a second pair of eyes usually does the trick.
Manuscript Evaluations will help with this. Your book will be scanned, analyzed, and picked apart, so it's best to get to the root of the problem before your agent (or readers) notices.
Take advantage of my evaluation services, and before you know it, your book will be on the shelf of every book store imaginable!
You can't cook without prepping, and writing is no different! Before booking your project, I'll send you an evaluation questionnaire based on which stage you're inquiring about. This will give me insight into areas you want primary focus on, any questions you feel need answering, and the details of your project overall.
Then we delve a little deeper with a 15 minute consult. We'll discuss your options via email or live chat. This is a swift process to find common ground and begin working as an amazing team!
I'll provide you with either a consultation or documented feedback. No changes will be made to your manuscript during the evaluation. Instead, you'll find commentary, notes, and and overall rating based on strengths, weaknesses, first impressions, and more. Suggestions will be recommended for improvement, with which you will have the choice of accepting or rejecting.
Finally, I'll follow up with the evaluation a week out. This would be the time where I would address any additional concerns you may have regarding the process, and we can schedule a consultation to go over any further questions.

We highly recommend Follyn Builders! They completed a major project on our 1910s home - some foundation work, a 2nd floor addition, remodel of half of the 1st floor, cosmetic improvements, etc. - and it all turned out beautifully. John & Ann were so easy to work with (and very patient with us when decisions had to be made), all of the workers were professional & capable (and very tidy!), and the work is so well done. They gave very realistic estimates of cost & time and worked hard to have the project done in a timely fashion. We hope to use them again in the future and can't recommend them highly enough! More...

I highly recommend Follyn Builders. I was in a situation where I needed to gut rehab a studio condo that I had just purchased quickly. I talked with several builders and John was the only one who could meet my time line. I couldn't be happier with the end result. John helped with selections, offered great ideas/suggestions, was easy to work with and completed the entire job in a little over four weeks … on budget. Fantastic contractor! More...
We can't say enough wonderful things about Follyn Builders. They were superb! Great workmanship, excellent quality and nothing but the best of everything.
I highly recommend Follyn Builders! I cannot say enough about how thrilled we are with the stunning renovation to our 1910 brick 2-flat. Follyn created a "duplex down" turning a previously unfinished part of the basement into a family room, and remodeled the offices for our family business. The project also involved removing and rebuilding our rear porches and enclosed stairwell, as well as remodeling a bathroom, adding a powder room, and gutting and relaying our kitchen and our daughter's bedroom.We used an architect who created great plans, but John's vision and creativity have given us so much more usable space, and beautifully carried our dreams to fruition. We are so glad we entrusted our project to John. His honesty and work ethic are rare. Our architect recommended him initially. Her words were "I think you will find him quite capable." She was so right. We have this old house, and any unusual findings were nothing that gave John pause. To create a legal duplex, we needed to separate our stairwell from the 2nd floor apartment, and move all electrical panels out of the basement. Our gorgeous custom iron spiral staircase and rolling-shutter door concealing electrical panels and meters accomplished this. He tore off our old frame, vinyl sided, 2-level back porch and stairwell structure, and rebuilt it with a brick base and durable Hardie Board siding. The former crawl space was excavated to give us a mud room, huge coat closet, and an under-the-stair storage room. Our porch, which we use quite a bit could not increase in size, but still needed to make better use of the space. This was achieved by eliminating a door and suspending the grill off of the custom iron rails.Our basement was dug down to give us another 12-14 inches of ceiling height-- not easy to do with our shared driveway, no alley, and horrible parking in Lakeview East. This involved supporting our home with temporary columns and putting footings deeper and extending our iron columns to meet the new footings, adding radiant floor heating-- and then pouring concrete. John's expertise in sewers, drains, and a pumps will keep us safe from flooding.All structural elements of our home were inspected and repaired where necessary. Our home is over 100 years old, and is poised to last at least that long going forward.Our kitchen was completely remodeled-flipping the old cooking and dining areas. This gave us two new beautiful and better functioning spaces. All of the cabinets are customwood and were very competitively priced. Follyn Builders has a vast list of excellent sources that they go to for materials and custom work. Their sources offer sharp pricing for quality work. John selects and works with a wonderful team of subcontractors. They are all pros whom I enjoyed being around when I was home. Even still, if something wasn't quite right, John would point it out to us first and then have it corrected. He had our backs every step of the way. Ann does an incredible job with materials management and all of the behind-the-scenes action like parking permits, etc. On the very rare occasion where John is not available, Ann is also very capable on-site as well. Whether she is supervising an installation, or prioritizing the tasks of subcontractors to keep the work flow efficient, she is an experienced pro.I could go on... I checked references before hiring Follyn and heard similar praise. Then, I walked a Follyn project that was nearing completion and was totally sold. I was completely blown away by the level of craftsmanship from the multi-piece molding and custom built-ins to the state-of-the-art technology that today's homes demand.Friends have asked me if the stress of construction got to me. My answer is always that I had the time of my life, and although I am excited to have our home completed, I miss the activity, and the excitement of seeing the conversion at the hands of people who are so talented.Five stars is not nearly enough for Follyn Builders and Developers! More...
Follyn Builders just delivered the home of our dreams! Follyn Builders possesses all of the ingredients required for a successful large scale renovation namely: pride of craftsmanship, expert subcontractors, close adherence to budget and timeline along with a willingness to partner with other members of the project team.
We just completed a gut rehab (really a restoration) on our Chicago Greystone which was built in 1885. We are seeking landmark status on the home thru the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA). The project took a 4-flat back to its intended use as a single family home. John and Ann had immense respect for our project from beginning to end. The house was in HORRIBLE shape when we acquired it. Our desire for Landmark Status has meant strict requirements from IHPA including keeping the original hardwood floors, trim, bannisters, fireplaces and exterior. Without saying it, John's attitude from the start has been "I'm up for the challenge if you are".
Every challenge was met with a creative solution and quality sub-contractors. From having to completely refabricate the copper bay on the front of the house to look like the original when we discovered it was beyond repair; to finding a carpenter that could replicate the original bannister on four floors; to completely removing a roof and re-trussing to meet load requirements on a 500 sq ft rooftop deck I couldn't live without.
A project of this size requires a team consisting of architect, general contractor and interior designer. Follyn Builders embraced the value of teamwork. There was ample give and take over the life of the project. John never waivered when it came to offering an expert opinion on construction while maintaining flexibility to bring to life some of the more unique aspects of the design from repurposing 100+ year old beams into shelving, installing a metal fireplace surround and finding a way to salvage 132 year old hardwood floors!
I am confident that our home would not be nearly as wonderful if it weren't for the role played by Follyn Builders. There was transparency in time and cost estimates (although both were a bit higher than originally communicated; this is to be expected). Most importantly working with John and Ann was a pleasure. We highly recommend Follyn Builders. More...

I have been in my Follyn remodeled home for 10 years now, and I am still thrilled every time I walk in. John and Ann helped transform this tiny little house into I high function, high design home. My architect did a nice job of retro fitting the new part of the house with the old, but working with John, i added character and features that added charm and function. My mudroom would have made my kitchen dark by blocking light from the windows. John added cut outs that allowed natural to come into the kitchen. They recommended darkening the floors in the original part of the house to match the new floors - they look fabulous. They also changed out the trim throughout the house. This made the addition blend in seamlessly. Follyn's attention to detail ensures a quality built home. More...
Follyn Builders & Developers is a professional business who excels in delivering a high end home. The quality & craftsmanship speaks for itself. Ease of communication & direct and clear information is always helpful in the construction process which behind the scenes is never simple & straightforward.
The materials used, from the door knobs to the light fixtures is always what is in style yet what will have a classic look that will be in style for years and years to come.
The building materials & construction process is always the newest, proven products in the market.
Follyn Builders contract with experts in their respective fields and it shows in the finished products. They build a magnificent home and we would recommend them to anyone looking to remodel or build a new home. A home is your biggest investment, you should hire the best. More...
Greatest Chicago custom home builder!
We have worked with Follyn Builders & Developers on several projects over the past several years.

They say that grandchildren are life’s greatest joy, and now the first study to examine grandmothers’ brain function has suggested grannies may be more emotionally connected to their grandkids than to their own sons and daughters.
Since the 1960s, researchers have posited that one reason women tend to live decades past their reproductive years is that it increases the chances of their grandchildren surviving, through the physical support they often provide – the grandmother hypothesis. More recent evidence has suggested that children’s wellbeing and educational performance is also boosted by the presence of engaged grandparents.
To better understand the biological underpinnings of this connection, Prof James Rilling, an anthropologist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and colleagues recruited 50 women with at least one biological grandchild aged between three and 12, and used functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan their brains as they looked at photos of that child, the child’s parents, and images of an unrelated child and adult.
“What really jumps out is the activation in areas of the brain associated with emotional empathy,” Rilling said. “That suggests that grandmothers are geared toward feeling what their grandchildren are feeling when they interact with them. If their grandchild is smiling, they’re feeling the child’s joy. And if their grandchild is crying, they’re feeling the child’s pain and distress.”
Rilling previously performed a similar exercise with fathers as they looked at pictures of their children. The activation seen in the grandmothers’ emotion processing areas, and in those associated with reward and motivation, was stronger, on average, than the fathers’ – although there were some dads who had just as much activation in these areas.
In contrast, when the grandmothers looked at images of their adult child, slightly different brain areas tended to be activated: those associated with cognitive empathy. This could indicate that they were trying to cognitively understand their adult child, rather than experiencing this more direct emotional connection. “Emotional empathy is when you’re able to feel what someone else is feeling, but cognitive empathy is when you understand at a cognitive level what someone else is feeling and why,” Rilling said.
This could possibly help to explain the experience many grown-up children have of their parents often seeming more excited to see their grandchildren than them. “I think that’s plausible,” said Rilling, whose findings were published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. “Young children have likely evolved traits to be able to manipulate not just the maternal brain, but the grand-maternal brain. An adult child doesn’t have the same cute factor, so they may not the same emotional response.”
The results support the idea that there may be a global caregiving system in the brain that is activated in mothers (who have been examined in separate studies), fathers and grandmothers. Rilling now hopes to study grandfathers and other childcare providers to see how they compare.

FBI investigating San Bernardino shooting as ‘act of terrorism’ – The Tico Times | Costa Rica News | Travel | Real Estate
The California shooting that killed 14 people on Wednesday is being investigated as an “act of terrorism,” David Bowdich, assistant FBI director in Los Angeles, said at a news conference Friday.
One of the attackers, Tashfeen Malik, swore a pledge of allegiance to the head of Islamic State before the deadly rampage via a Facebook page that she kept under an alias, according to a U.S. law enforcement official. Bowdich said “a number of pieces of evidence” have led to the FBI treating the attack as a terrorism investigation, without confirming the Facebook post.
Investigators have also found that Malik’s husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, who waged the Dec. 2 attack with her, had adopted radical Islamic views and was in touch with a number of people in California who were subjects of federal terrorism probes, according to the official, who described the matter on condition of anonymity.

Authorities have been scouring the couple’s online communications and phone records as they try to determine a motive for the attack at a social services center in the California city that killed 14 people and injured 21. Farook and Malik — who were clad in black, tactical gear — fled the scene and died in a gun battle with police in a nearby residential neighborhood.
The second mass killing in a week in the U.S. has intensified fears that terrorists are preparing to wage a Paris-style attack on U.S. soil. After the shootings, authorities found a dozen pipe bomb devices in the couple’s home along with thousands of rounds of ammunition, San Bernardino police chief Jarrod Burguan said.
“The FBI is leading this investigation, as the president said yesterday, because of the possibility that this is a terrorist attack,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Friday. He declined to confirm reports of Malik’s Facebook post.

In her Facebook posting, the U.S. official said, Malik swore allegiance to the head of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who is being pursued by the U.S.-led coalition targeting the extremist group’s strongholds in Syria and Iraq. Malik also posted images of herself and the couple’s six-month-old daughter, though some information was deleted in the days leading up to the shooting, the official said.
The attackers were characterized as supporters of Islamic State in a report by the Amaq news network, which has previously aired the extremist group’s claims of responsibility for attacks.
Bowdich said that “extensive planning” went into the attacks. Investigators have recovered crushed cellphones and other digital media that is being examined for evidence.
The FBI is aware of a Facebook post by Malik, he said, but investigators are not yet sure about whether the attacks were inspired or directed by Islamic State.
Police have recovered thumb drives, computers and mobile phones from the couple’s apartment in nearby Redlands. Another U.S. official, describing the scene on condition of anonymity, said that some of the devices were damaged or destroyed in an apparent attempt by the attackers to cover their tracks.
Using phone records, investigators know that Farook was in conversation with at least several people under FBI investigation for possible ties to terrorism, according to the official. But they don’t know the nature of those conversations and are chasing leads to prevent future violence and to determine whether Farook and his wife were part of a terrorist network.
Farook, a U.S. citizen, had traveled to Saudi Arabia about a month ago for unknown reasons, according to another U.S. official, who also requested anonymity. Malik, who held a Pakistani passport, came to the U.S. on a K-1, or “fiance,” visa that she obtained in Pakistan, said Mark Toner, a State Department spokesman.
Farook had been employed by San Bernardino County for five years, most recently as an environmental specialist, and had worked with some of the victims, who were attending a holiday party at the center. He and Malik used rapid-fire, semi-automatic rifles to spray the room with as many as 75 shots, Burguan said.
The two semi-automatic rifles and two handguns that Farook and Malik were armed with had been legally purchased, authorities said. Besides the pipe bombs, authorities also found tools for constructing explosive devices, Burguan said.
The U.S. and other nations have been on heightened alert following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris by extremists linked to Islamic State. The shootings and bombings killed 130 people and prompted France, Germany and Britain to step up the offensive against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. In a statement from the White House on the day before Thanksgiving, President Barack Obama said the government had seen no credible intelligence suggesting plots against the U.S.
In an Oval Office appearance on Thursday, Obama raised the possibility that the shootings were related to terrorism, though he emphasized that authorities didn’t know the motive. He also said every U.S. citizen has a part to play in trying to prevent this kind of violence, including making weapons more difficult to obtain.
The president’s comments were the second time he’s had to address a mass shooting in the past week. During a news conference Tuesday in Paris, Obama said he hoped a Nov. 27 shooting at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic that left at least three dead and nine wounded would spur “conversation and action” on gun control.
It’s important for “all of us, including our legislatures, to see what we can do to make sure that when individuals decide that they want to do somebody harm, we’ll make it a little harder for them to do it because right now, it’s just too easy,” he said.

Worst Cities to Drive In? | Page 2 | FORUMS - COASTERFORCE
I was fined thirty quid the other week for driving down a bus lane in Reading that I felt I was forced into by the bizarre one way system so yeah, I'd say there.
Ouch, yeah Reading is a bit crap and has quite a confusing (and large) one way system. I used to go to a scuba diving club in Preston Park on a Thursday night and always got confused trying to leave the city.
Going to vote Helsinki as there are lots of roads that share use with trams. There are times when the trams have priority and times when cars do and it isn't always obvious what's going on. Had one scary moment driving head on towards a (stationary) tram before turning off - won't forget that in a hurry. Pretty sure it was correct but still very scary.
Then it has to be London. I work there though so I'm used to it. Wouldn't want to be a tourist trying to read signs to navigate the south circular!
Tampa's very confusing. There's a bit that reminded me of spaghetti junction with loads of flyovers. Gross.
Cities I've driven in that are all fine: New York, Tokyo, Phuket, Houston, Paris (busy but not the worst), Rome, Brussels (hate the bloody ringroad though), Stockholm, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Saltzburg...probably lots more.
Mysterious Sue, Dec 17, 2016
Cairo absolutely. Traffics lines are mere suggestions, not to mention having to mind cars, pedestrians, and the occasional horse-drawn wagon.
Hyde, Dec 19, 2016
Driving in the US - even in the cities - is mostly a vacation coming from Germany. We have an unwritten rule here: "Who breaks, looses!". In Hamburg, Berlin, Munich if you want to change lines and signal the other drivers are likely blocking you - you have to force your way in. Merging traffic at line reductions also never works, we always have long traffic jams before them - and often fender-benders due to drivers unwilling to let another car in. And we always go roughly 15kph over speed limit - as real fines start only at 20 kph or over. Also pays off to have a car with good acceleration as you can outspeed others at traffic lights - TSI and TDI engines or even Compressor engines are the most popular here if you have the money. On the other hand the police has AMG Mercedes and the highway police mostly Porsche...

The lines appear to be blurring between storage and general IT, and a number of vendors plan to capitalize on the trend.
It's been apparent now for a couple of years that something has shifted in the land of storage. Instead of focusing on their own turf, storage firms are boldly venturing into the broader IT space.
EMC is the standard bearer, having gobbled up the likes of VMware, Smarts, Acxiom and others. CA has followed suit with some acquisitions of its own as well as integration of existing storage and IT management and security products. And, of course, outsiders like Cisco and Symantec have muscled into the world of storage in recent years with their own visions of storage convergence.
"Networking and storage have become fused at the hip," says Mike Karp, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "Also, any technology that uses messaging is becoming bound up with storage as well, as all the content typically has to be kept for compliance purposes. Things are not as simple as they once were."
One company with an eye on convergence is CA. It already has enterprise-class products in storage, security and IT management, and is well on the way to integrating them all into a common, easy-to-manage system.
"IT is converging and becoming more interdependent, as we are seeing with voice and data, security and storage, and the Web and mainframes," says Mark Newberry, vice president of storage management product marketing at CA. "Our goal is to empower customers to realize the full potential value of IT through the effective management of all people, processes and resources across the enterprise from the mainframe to the Web regardless of platform, vendor or architecture."
CA is building solutions on a set of common services known as the CA Integration Platform. Newberry gives an example of how existing storage products can be married up with IT management tools. BrightStor SAN Manager provides SAN device health monitoring and configuration capabilities. When used with BrightStor SRM, the combined solution provides end-to-end application to disk spindle views, enabling the user to easily see the location of their file and application data in the SAN environment. These, in turn, can be integrated with Unicenter Network and Systems Management (NSM) to provide a single console to manage the entire IT infrastructure, from IP to SAN.
HP is pursuing a similar strategy. Thought it is perhaps behind CA in terms of the sheer breadth of software integration, it has the advantage of possessing a massive portfolio of server hardware and storage devices. HP's Adaptive Infrastructure is an effort to unite the disparate nature of IT operations to move away from the idea of having separate storage, network and systems staff each with discrete duties and responsibilities.
"HP is working to integrate all of this through common software and hardware architectures, and to tie end-to-end provisioning tasks together with automation," says Abbott Schindler, senior technologist at HP. "Our StorageWorks Division is actively participating in this strategy, and the result will be the kind of total IT stack integration."
The company has taken some significant steps to move in this direction. Perhaps most noteworthy was its migration from OpenView Storage Area Manager to Storage Essentials following the acquisition of AppIQ. In addition, HP has made storage and server management more unified via Systems Insight Manager. Further, the acquisition of OuterBay gives HP access to database archiving technology as part of its broader ILM strategy.
"Going forward, we expect that it will be increasingly important to understand and manage data in context- and content-aware perspectives," says Schindler. "HP is also evolving storage security strategy, which begins with securing data at-rest and device-level security."
Another big area of convergence and vendor warfare concerns making storage more intelligent. Instead of just having one large bucket of storage, vendors are adding functionality into storage devices to take care of tasks normally relegated to the applications.
Fred Moore, an analyst with Horison Information Strategies of Boulder, Colo., points to Cisco as one of the major players in this space. Due to its massive R&D budget, he says, Cisco is doing better than McData and Brocade in terms of adding functions such as replication and data protection.
"Cisco is the EMC of the switch world and has financial resources that Brocade and McData simply don't have," says Moore. "But get prepared for a war over whether the intelligence should be in switch or in other storage subsystems."
Sun Microsystems has already weighed in for this big fight. But James Whitemore, Sun's vice president and CMO for storage, believes that the battlefield has shifted. Instead of the traditional problem around how users should capture, store and retrieve data, the challenge has expanded to include how they should architect an environment that helps manage data as a shared, protected resource while keeping cost down, reducing complexity and complying with regulatory requirements. From a technology perspective, that leads to greater focus in identity management, security and virtualization. And that is leading to a new generation of integrated server and storage solutions as well as a focus on metadata and content addressed storage (CAS).
"What we're seeing today is a confluence of events driving a broader view of data and closer alignment between applications and storage," says Whitemore. "The primary driver is the massive growth of data and the need to manage and protect it as a core business asset."
Sun's acquisition of StorageTek is obviously a big part of what the company has done to build out its storage portfolio. This added tape virtualization, mainframe storage capabilities and a well established services capability to Sun's existing storage arsenal. The company is also leveraging Solaris and other Sun technologies to solve data management problems.
In the area of identity, for instance, it has integrated its Java System Access Manager software into Sun StorageTek Enterprise Storage Manager (ESM) software. This, says Whitemore, makes it easier and faster for organizations to securely access and manage data. Coming soon is device-level encryption within the Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive, and a key management suite that protects data on tape against theft and fraud.
"We also recently previewed Project Honeycomb, a new type of platform that blurs the line between application server and storage by giving more flexibility in the way applications are deployed," says Whitemore. "Over the next several quarters you'll see Sun bring to market products that combine computation and storage and leverage a number of technologies from around the company."
While the vendors are rushing forth with a bevy of products and services that take advantage of converged architectures, the user community has been slow on the uptake especially when it comes to the combination of intelligence into switches and other devices.
Moore believes this is no longer a case of technological immaturity so much as it is bound up in a lack of resources. Since 9/11, he notes, IT has lost about 20 percent of its workforce. It takes staff to tie storage and systems together or move from the old complex system to a newer and apparently simpler model. Those staff just aren't available at the moment in most shops.
"It takes staff to rearchitect the storage environment and that's keeping the brakes on," says Moore. "To add in intelligence, you have to change your processes and most people don't have the resources to do it yet."
Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the upcoming Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U, has some bad news for Zelda fans looking forward to getting a glimpse of the game this June at E3 2015. Apparently the team has been hard at work, which has led to a few changes in the game, so Eiji Aonuma doesn’t feel it’s in a solid enough state to showcase it to the gaming media and public at the world’s most iconic video game trade show.
As I said in the video, we would like to take this time so we can bring you a very special experience, by making the ultimate Zelda game. Since we’d like to focus on developing the game we’ve decided to not show the game at this year’s E3. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you’ll look forward to the game!
This means that there’s no chance the game will release anytime soon, and it may not even release during the holiday season of 2016, but if I were a betting man I’d assume that’s the window Nintendo has planned. If not it could be delayed well into 2017. This is obviously a bummer, but I’m in the camp that would rather see a game get delayed and perfected, versus a game that gets released on time and is broken.

Regulators seek legal ground for revoking licences of firms who breach AML rules | Governance | News:
A joint report by the EBA, EIOPA and ESMA advocates for the introduction in all relevant EU financial laws of a specific legal ground to revoke licences as a "last resort" measure for serious breaches of AML/CFT rules.
The supervisory bodies highlight the importance of the issue as the EU drafts prposals for the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), currently under negotiation.
"Based on the findings of the survey, the competent authorities across the financial sector may rely on non-specific grounds based on EU or national law," states the report. "However, for sake of legal certainty, this Report supports the introduction in the sectoral acts which are not yet covered, of a specific ground empowering competent authorities to withdraw the authorisation (or registration) solely on the ground of serious breaches of AML/CFT rules."

Ali said, “When you look at the top companies in North Carolina, there are only three with women leaders. There is a lack of equity. We need to create opportunities, not obstacles, to people’s success.”
The panelists also talked about the importance and challenges of balancing life as a mother with a career.
“We’re not going to get change until we have more mothers in higher levels of leadership,” said Brown.
Spellings encouraged women to bring their children into their work life when they can. “Make it a family affair so they see the value of how you spend your time,” she said.
Another key aspect of the women’s leadership conference are the five breakout sessions. Those who went to the conference got to pick which sessions they attended.
One session was called, Building Your Own Brand. Audience members heard from four speakers, including Allison Conley and Emily Cutts, the co-owners of Parlor Blow Dry Bar, Rebecca Quinn-Wolf, vice president and director of client and community relations for PNC’s Eastern Carolinas market, and Dickens Sanchez, associate director of business development for Clean.
“It started with us wanting to create a culture that was empowering to people,” said Cutts, talking about the formation of her company’s brand. “We knew we wanted to do something. Our personal brand started with what we wanted to give to the community.”
Quinn-Wolf talked about the importance of core values at PNC. “We have a set of core values that are intertwined,” she said. “They are performance, customer service, respect, diversity and inclusion, teamwork, and
Another session was called, Finding Your Strengths and the Strengths of Your Team. Those at this session heard from Jenn Mann, executive vice president and chief human resources officer with SAS Institute, Inc., Joy Ruhmann, president of Level Up Leadership, Inc., and Shelley Willingham, who leads Vision and Passion International, LLC.
“If you’re not confident in your work, then you’re going to feel disillusioned,” said Ruhmann. “If somebody is not interacting with the team the way they need to, somebody in leadership needs to help them or be supportive of them making a transition outside the organization.”
Next door, there was a session called, Workplace Advocacy. Sexual harassment in the workplace has been a significant topic nationally. This session took a closer look at what companies and individuals need to know.
Those who attended heard from Sarah Ford, an employment law partner and Title IX attorney with Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, and from Ursula Mead, the founder and CEO of InHerSight.
“If sexual harassment is not addressed by an employer, there is a risk of quid pro quo,” said Ford. “There is clearly a lot of that still happening. It’s come to light in the entertainment and movie industry. There also is fear of retaliation.”
In the next room was a session called, Why Championing Women is Good for Business. The panel included Kristy Dixon with KMD HR Solutions, LLC. She also is the former president of the McLaurin Parking Company. It also included Kelly Gruber, the inclusiveness and flexibility leader for the southeast region at Ernst & Young, LLP, and Ronnie West, the chief people officer at Ipreo.
“We are seeing better market penetration when we see diverse teams,” said Gruber. “If you have better balance on your teams and women are involved, then you’re going to get to better innovation.”
The final session was called, How Women and Men Communicate Differently at Work. It was led by Fred Hutchison, the founder of Hutchison PLLC, and Beth Ritter, an associate professor of practice in management, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the Poole College of Management at NC State.
Hutchison said studies have shown men take more risk going for bigger wins, even though the wins are less likely and more costly. Ritter said women are better at reading people’s body language. She also told the audience not to undersell their knowledge by calling it intuition.
The Women’s Leadership Conference was a huge success! We could not have done it without our sponsors and are so thankful for their support. We can’t wait to start planning WLC 2019!
The Women's Leadership Conference offers a great opportunity to learn, network and reconnect with amazing women(and now men)!

Militant Islamist fighters waving flags, travel in vehicles as they take part in a military parade along the streets of Syria's northern Raqqa province, June 30, 2014.
Russian experts believe that the new threats against Russia coming from the Islamist militants can be attributed to the defeats they are suffering in Syria. At the same time, the threat of terrorist attacks remains quite real.
On Sunday July 31, Islamic State (ISIS) posted a new video on YouTube. In it, a man, his face covered, says to the camera: “Putin, can you hear? We’ll come to Russia too and we’ll kill you there too, inshallah.” He then calls on Islamist militants to launch a jihad against Russia. According to Reuters, the link to the video was posted by a Telegram account linked to the militants.
The Kremlin has already reacted to the terrorists’ message. “Threats like these cannot influence Russia’s policy in the fight against terrorism,” Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said. He added that one should not be “making too much” of threats coming from terrorists whose “tail is being squeezed.”
Islamic State has decided to call on its supporters to launch a jihad against Russia because the operation being carried out by the Russian air force in Syria is doing serious damage to the radical group, according to Arabic scholar Vladimir Akhmedov, a senior researcher with the Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“ISIS has been seriously battered. According to various estimates, it has lost from 30 to 50 percent of the territory it had in Syria,” he said.
This view is shared by Sergei Goncharov, the president of the international association of veterans of the Russian counter-terrorist unit Alpha Group, who links the threats against Russia to the wave of terrorist attacks that has recently swept across Western countries.
“Suffering defeats, ISIS is trying to move its terrorist activity outside Syria. This creates a threat for European countries, the U.S. and possibly Russia too,” he said.
So far, ISIS has not carried out any major acts of terrorism on Russian soil. Its biggest attack was the explosion aboard the Russian Metrojet passenger aircraft above the Sinai Peninsula on Oct. 31, 2015 (which claimed 224 lives). Nevertheless, experts warn that the terrorist threat should be treated with utmost seriousness.
“There are from 2,000 to 4,000 Russian nationals fighting in ISIS ranks, mostly Chechens and representatives of other North Caucasus republics,” said Vladimir Akhmedov.
As the group is suffering military defeats in Syria and Iraq, it is very likely that militants will be returning to Russia to carry out attacks there, he said.
At the same time, Russia is less susceptible to the terrorist threat than Europe, according to Sergei Goncharov: “European countries are flooded with refugees and migrants, including sleeper ISIS agents, who may become active at any moment. This is not the case with Russia,” he said.
Experts believe that on the whole the Russian special services are coping with the threat and are capable of preventing militants from returning to Russia.
“Our borders are under control. Agents in the field have a lot of data about those bandits and mercenaries who are fighting in Syria,” said Goncharov.
On July 27, four days before the video with threats was posted, Federal Security Service (FSB) director Alexander Bortnikov told the TASS news agency that his department was carrying out systemic work aimed at preventing terrorist attacks.
“The number of potential pseudo-suicide bombers under operational control currently exceeds 220 people,” he said.
The next day Bortnikov said that the FSB was cooperating with foreign secret services, including those in the U.S., as part of the fight against international terrorism.
Russian observers are convinced that despite the ISIS threats, the operation in Syria should be continued as, according to them, it is the only way to defeat the group and to prevent further terrorist attacks.
“It is important not only to beat ISIS but also to strip it of its social base,” said Akhmedov, who believes that if the terrorist group loses territory and support in Syria, its popularity will start to wane.

Both won 12 scale. We’Ve got like a four wheel drive, i don’t think it’s a crawler it’s, maybe like a trail truck, and then we got a 112 two wheel, drive buggy. These are from the pub g game. I’Ve heard of it. I’Ve never played it, but we’re gon na get back the box and we can have a look. You could call this a bit of a blind unboxing most of the time when we’re gon na get the buggy out. First, most of the time when i review stuff, i check what’s in the box, i make sure everything’s there make sure there’s no damage and stuff like that, and then i have a quick look online uh to see what it’s about. I haven’t done that with these you can share the experience with me breaking the seal. I do like usually to, like, i say, get a little bit of info, so i know what i’m talking about uh in this case i’m, not gon na, say i don’t know what i’m talking about we’re gon na open it together and have a look there’s a Little bit of information here, so we know what we’re getting uh it says: unique suspension, design, uh, unique gear transmission, spring loaded shocks, don’t, look like that oil. It has got full ball bearings, though. It’S got lots of unique stuff, unique suspension, design, unique gear transmission, unique shock system with tough body, shell, detailed driver and body details, pre glued high traction tyres and a 2.
4 transmitter receiver. So that’s good it’s got separate transmitter, receiver, ttrc sport. It looks like the manufacturer and there’s a few more specifications on the back there. It looks really cool. I tell you, what should we have? A look at let’s have a look at the game: pub g – oh no! It says pug pug g pub g. I didn’t did i get any blood dogs i don’t know, but i almost hit him okay, so it looks like a pretty cool game: Music it’s, a nice little touch and it look very nice it’s, actually a bit smaller than i thought it was going to be. Although it is 112 scale, it does look kind of cool doesn’t it i just uh. I just broke one of the stickers on it. I’M gon na have to fix that that’s a bit weird they’re, just like vinyl stickers that go over it just put my thumb through it. I just done the same on the i just done the same on the other side on my days, this isn’t starting, very well, is it, oh god, so that’s, probably like in the last minute i’ve broke that one i’ve broke that one and i’ve broke that one. What a silly design anyway, this looks, kind of cool come on, who uses cds nowadays or disks allen, keys, wheel, wrench, bind plug usb charger and some little instructions. Now that is a fly sky that is a fly sky gt.
It says there actually it’s even still got it on there uh gt2 e. These are pretty good basic transmission, basic they’ve got ceiling, trim, throttle, trim, steering dual rating and then uh steering versus throttle reverse they’re basic but they’re decent basic uh. It also says thunder tiger on there has it got a battery in it yep little 850 milliamp hour, uh, 7.4 volt, lithium ion that says thunder tiger on it at least under tiger? Well, i guess i guess that’s what tt rc sport is tt thunder tiger. Maybe i didn’t know that some of you have probably sat there going. Well course is: did you not know? Well, no, i didn’t right let’s just put that there let’s put the batter in charge while we’re. Looking at that now, let’s have a closer look at this Music. Music don’t think the body comes off very easily, not by the looks of it. So the battery goes underneath a bit of a disjointed unboxing from me. I do apologize right anyway. Friction dampers, they don’t feel too bad. Some light decals up the front, so it is two wheel drive, so you’ve got bearings in there. You can see, you can see. Metal bearings in there says unique suspension design. I guess it’s meaning a lot then at the back there you can just in the top there. That is a 380 motor by the looks of it. It’S got it’s got metal drive shafts in there that’s good metal, diff cups tyres are relatively hard.
There’S your driver and then you’ve got your on and off switch there. So i presume you shouldn’t need to get in there the detail on the back. There exhaust little number plate – and i guess that’s, where your uh rear gunner, sits on the back there it’s, not a bad. Looking little buggy i’ve got a decent. I got a really good place. We’Re gon na take this over to the quarry to get some cool shots of this well i’m. Waiting for the battery to charge let’s have a look at the pickup anything different on here to that one. So this is 112 scared as well. We’Ve got metal front. Cva axles, uh 1598, so one ratio, three gear transmission mission. So again it looks like plastic gears a fully adjustable threaded shock, so that’s got threaded shocks. But again i don’t know whether oil same transmitter, this one’s got lights. It’S got the same battery and water resistant speed control is that a hobby wing 1040 that might be a hobbywing 1040 chassis mounted steering servo, not bad. The spec actually looks quite good on this doesn’t it. This one actually says that it’s a 350 meter in the back there, it doesn’t look like it’s a 380 to me. It also has got a waterproof esc in it, so i presume it’s the same as this one. Anyway. Stop talking get out the box don’t even know what price these are. Let me have a look at the price for you.
Let me find the price out and i’ll put it up on the screen. Buggy comes in at around 149 pound. This comes in at around 160 170, not bad. Well, obviously, it depends on how they run, but it seems bad to me. Oh this one looks cool. This has got some nice weathering on it all my number plates falling off instructions, so this one’s got a little bit more in the box, it’s the same uh transmitter, so the flysky gt2 e uh usb charger, some wing mirrors and something else are there for the Mounts for the wing mirrors bind plug tools. I guess that’s a battery strap this one. Definitely my favorite i’d say this one looks really cool, but then i am into obviously crawlers. Quite a bit. It’S got oil shocks. This one has got oil shocks. Now they do another version, they do another body, i presume it’s, exactly the same chassis, it’s, more military style body um this one yeah definitely yeah looks pretty good. I mean this one looks cool but initial impressions. This one is the this one’s on the money, but i guess, if you’re into the game, you’re gon na, want that one to go with that Music Applause relatively sort of cheap feeling. Well, it’s, not lexan! Is it just uh? I don’t know what they call it. The cheaper stuff, so that is definitely prob, so that’s, probably not going to take much abuse if you’re rolling it same lithium ion get that on charge: hobby wing, 1080, uh, 1040, waterproof esc, a 380 motor and then a three channel.
But Music it’s adequate whoa nearly dropped it, so it has actually got a little tab there and that’s four. It says: um normal and crawler. So when you move that tab, i think hang on. Let me switch it on again. This should have forward brake reverse at the moment, yeah forward brake and then reverse. If you swap this tag round so now we just got forward and straight to reverse, but that will put on that’s now got. I can feel that it’s a drag break so with that tab on normal, you get four brake reverse. If it’s switched to that, you get um your drag brake and then and then the second tab is for lipo or nickel metal hydride right. That’S that one sorted and now let’s have a go with the old buggy. It says it does about 20 kilometers an hour, not the fastest thing. It has only got a small motor and 2s, but the esc in this will run 3s. If it’s a proper 1040 from hobbywing, it will run 3s yeah. It sounds like it’s one, so not bad steering’s, pretty good. We got a bit more on the jewelry. Like the last one yeah there, we go pretty good steering angle there decent amount of power, yeah it’s, going to be good fun right right, let’s, take them over to the quarry, have a look at how they go i’ll just do a quick summary of that. Once we get there, we have a quick burn around with that and then i’m going to make a full video with them both try and make it a little bit cinematic.
Some of you might not like it, but that will be out in a few days after this video so took them to the local quarry and what a load of fun they are the truck, definitely a trail truck rather than a crawler it’s decent it’s fast. It is very fast and you’ll need softer tyres if you want to do any like proper crawling, but as a trail truck ideal looks good, looks good driving along didn’t really have any issues on the terrain and and the same with the buggy, even though it’s quite Low to the ground, it’s two wheel drive, it didn’t really struggle, and this was, as you can see like snow bit of ice stones and stuff like that it did get bomb. It did bomb out a few times, but overall i was really impressed a couple of good. I don’t want to say novelty, rc’s really novelty. The 4×4 was definitely my favorite out of the two. The buggy’s got its place as well. If you, especially, if you’re into the game, but the 4×4, you can see how fast it is, it was crazy, um, both really good fun. The full cinematic with music video will be out. Shortly of this, you can see the whole thing and we’re out for ages. Probably only got about three or four minute video out of it, though, but we had loads of fun.

Watch out, steak lovers! Yet another study has linked consumption of red meat with an increased risk of death. In fact, according to new findings published in the journal BMJ, this dietary habit could boost mortality rates for nine different medical conditions, The New York Times reports.
For the study, researchers tracked diet and health information for more than 536,000 men and women ages 50 to 71 spanning an average of 16 years. Scientists used a 124-item food frequency questionnaire, reviewed individuals’ total intake of meat, including processed and unprocessed red meat (such as beef, lamb and pork) and white meat (poultry and fish). In addition, researchers logged everyone’s daily intake of heme iron (the type found in blood and muscle), nitrates, nitrites and several other nutritional variables.
At the end of the trial period, findings showed that compared with the one fifth of people who ate the least red meat, the same number of people who ate the most red meat appeared to suffer a 26 percent increased risk of death from cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease and liver cancer.
In contrast, findings showed that white meat might be good for you. According to additional findings, researchers noted that those who ate the highest proportion of white meat enjoyed a 25 percent reduced risk of dying from various causes compared with those who ate the least white meat.
“This is the largest study, so far, to show increased mortality risks from different causes associated with both processed and unprocessed red meat, and it underlines the importance of heme iron, nitrates, and nitrites in assessing the pathways related to health risks associated with red meat intake,” wrote study authors.
The observational study had some limitations, such as possible measurement errors and the use of a single dietary assessment instead of tracking dietary changes during the follow-up period. But researchers said the findings were valuable because the 16-year window provided numbers that showed the occurrence of many different causes of death among the meat eaters studied.

Activated charcoal has long been used to help soothe upset stomachs, induce vomiting (yuck, I know!) and help people rid themselves of toxins they’ve consumed. Maybe you’ve seen charcoal juices at your juice bar and wondered what all the buzz is about. Is this trendy drink that promises health benefits like “cleansing” and “detox” really good for you?
Like many other new health drink and food products out there with big promises, some of them really do hold the benefits they promise, whereas others fall way short.
Activated charcoal beverages can be pretty tasty, especially when mixed with other sweet ingredients like lemon or lime or even some fruit. But whenever I buy something that’s both super trendy and super expensive I like to know the benefits, and most of all look at whether it’s safe for consumption.
Usually derived from coconut shells, wood, or peat, the activated part comes from an additional process that exposes the charcoal to high temperatures. This “activates” a large amount of very small pores on the surface of the charcoal, creating microscopic pockets that can help trap compounds and particles. It is usually sold as a black odorless and tasteless powder.
In small quantities, activated charcoal has been used for many years to help promote healthy digestion and help soothe digestive issues in general, so in small quantities we know it’s generally safe.
It may help to ease digestive distress (though not much research supports this to date), and may help people feel like they’re promoting detoxification in their bodies.
For some, activated charcoal can make them feel sick, and/or in many cases it really may do nothing at all to help promote wellness. Activated charcoal consumption in some cases can also interfere with other medications you may be taking and in some cases may also interfere with absorption of other vitamins and minerals in your foods.
Activated charcoal really isn’t something I recommend that my clients take or use to help promote detox because we really don’t know if it’s helpful or safe. While in most cases it usually isn’t dangerous (besides to the fact that it can drain your wallet), it may not contain all the benefits it promises
If I had $10 to spend I’d buy a green juice loaded with kale, cabbage, cucumber, ginger, collards or any dark green leafy veggie. The detoxification properties of cruciferous vegetables in general is much more well-researched and the properties they contain may also help to fight various types of cancers as well.

You're not poor because of "The West", you're poor because you're ruled by oligarchs and the mafia, who are stealing from you.
He's great at doing Putin's job for him aye? No need to convince your citizens America's broken and only Daddy Putin can protect you when they can hear it directly from the POTUS himself.
I believe you. If you happen to have any links about that incident, I would very interested to learn more.
When did you hear that? The only chant I picked up on was around the 2 minute mark, they were saying “Release (them)!”
What does that have to do with the 2nd Amendment? I didn't like what happened either, but I don't see your point. If you want another example of the US looking the other way involving Turkey, when they had their faked coup in 2016, Erdogan arrested 70,000 people and tens of thousands more were fired from government jobs or detained. There are pictures taken from back then showing hundreds of naked men handcuffed foot to ankle and piled into holding rooms. Obama did nothing. Turkey is an important country when it comes to the sale and shipment of oil and gas. There's the reason why nothing was done.
Hello. I am just American, but in Russian everyone happy. There have never been any problems in Russia. Don't believe imperialist lies that seek to smear good name of Putin. He is hero of the peoples. Ill words directed at Putin is just come from jealous place. It is understandable. Not everyone as tall, strong and beautiful man as Putin. Powerful Russia strikes fear and envy in her enemies, but she is peaceful bear.
The location they were protesting is 'Bolotnaya Square' (Emphasis on Square). It's a dangerous Russia they live in,
same here I thought it was going to be more like Venezuela a while ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fQQzg2VfJME
Russia and China, two sides of the same shit covered coin. As messy as free speech in the west can be at least cops dont beat you wholesale for saying trump is a fucktard
It’s sad the potential of this world if even 3 countries could work together as democratic allies, but people are corrupt and only want to benefit themselves rather than advance the world as a whole.
Something occurred at a university, and then all right-wingers started caring what happened at universities. That's the gist of it.
I’m guessing those people are going to be put in jail for a little bit. Anyone from Russia have any input on how this usually goes?
"unfortunately he could not accept his terrible fate of 15 days and decided to take his life by himself"
Many Trump supporters want Trump to be more like Putin. They have some fucked up hard-on for Putin and the way he runs things in Russia.
It is a shithole country, and anyone with a brain knows it... unfortunately MAGA morons don't have a brain... so you see the predicament.
As someone who has a lot of family heritage from Russia, it was always my dream to check out where my family came from. Unfortunately with this dictator, it's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Every day around the globe police are being militarized and it’s frightening. It’s protect and serve, not intimidate and beat.
I'm confused... Are the Russian police fighting other police officers?? The boys in blue look to be helping some of the injured, the boys in bright blue tend to be beating the fuck-smack out of everyone.
They have a mobster for a president. It’s sad imagining what life in Russia is like today. I’m American and we have a criminal for a president as well. All the Russian people I’ve ever met have made me think they’re a very warm and friendly people but all they’re ever had is misery and bondage for hundreds of years.
This sucks. What are these people supposed to do? Fight the police? Shitty situation to be in if you ask me.
Putin protesters gotta have the biggest balls on the planet. No pepper spray or tear gas to deal with, just clubs and potential Siberian gulag to look forward to. Gotta respect ya if you still show up!
Those officers are being way too kind. There are about a dozen people in this video who should have been arrested for impeding law enforcement / assaulting police officers but weren't.
this is the kind of shit that trump and cops dream they could do....give/get an order to beat the shit out of dissenters.
Trump has publically and frequently talked about beating protestors and encouraged his supporters to do so. Weak willed authoritarians will always use violence to suppress free speech.
There is no source, this platform is overrun by morons with nothing better to do. If they charged EBT to type, it would just prove the theory.
To be fair though, the protesters were causing a fuck of violence... Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m like 50% sure that the police can do what they were doing in the video... I’m probably wrong lol
It always has been and always will be; that’s human nature. Someone will always come out on top and sometimes that someone is Putin or Hitler or Stalin or Xi Jingping or Hirohito or Mussolini or Zedong or Kim Jong un. The world has always been corrupt, but we see more of it because of the internet and how easy it is to share stuff.
Also, you could even argue that the world is either better than it has been in a long time, or that the atrocities going on are just more condensed and that leaders are becoming better at sweeping things under the rug.
Same old same old in Russia. Most of that countrie's history, they've been under some oppressive ruler
China, Russia, France, the USA and many more. The people are the many, the government is the few. Feels like the world is on the brink of revolution.
IF Trump loses, watch that all go quiet in the U.S. The very moment a Democrat is President again the left will immediately forget all the stuff they were so ready to be violent about.
They are lucky the OMON were not called! Let them show Americans how that one works out and see how many people ask for a different government then!
There’s so many layers of humanity in this that make me sad. The protesters trying to save one another. The way the cop in the foreground grabs on to the vest of the other cop to make sure they stick together. The way the senior-looking officer tries to calm down that younger girl when others were just shoving her.
I’d like to think that these cops know that they are in the wrong and that it’s human survival pitted against human survival, with tough choices made. I’m sad and hopeful for this reason.
So they beat up anyone who. s against the system... seems like they are just a bunch of idiots with uniforms.
You are insanely wrong that it is scary. Chinese and Russian police murder and kill those who oppose their respective leader. That doesn’t happen in the West.
Nobody said they didn’t, but it isn’t from killing people on purpose at the order of the president because they protest said president.
America's so fucked we don't even need roit cops we have hate groups that go out of their way to beat up protestors.
hahahahahahahah yup. america’s so fucked our government doesn’t beat protestors. man I need to get off reddit. so many retards it hurts
The University of Redlands Softball "Field of Dreams" became a reality in 1994 when an enthusiastic fan of the softball program made a sizeable yet anonymous donation. Designed by the same architect who worked on the film, "Field of Dreams," the facility has developed into one of the best college softball diamonds in Southern California and perhaps in all of Division III.
It was enhanced in 1999 with a new batting cage and then ten years later, the facility received new windscreens with BULLDOGS emblazoned across the center field fence.
A fairly large field, the center field fence sits more than 220 feet from home plate, with left and right at 190 feet. Fans regularly choose to sit beyond the fences, enjoying the beautiful setting beneath the trees.
Outside of competing at home in nearly 20 regular-season games a year, the Bulldogs have enjoyed hosting the First Round of the NCAA Championships on two occasions in 2005 and 2006. In addition, Redlands gained the right to host the inaugural Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Postseason Tournament in 2008 and then boasted a repeat effort in 2009.

Have you decided to install TVHero virus lately? We are sure that you did that without knowing that this program is considered to be a potentially unwanted one (PUP). Luckily, it is not a severe computer threat (some computer users use the term “virus” because they do not know that the real category of this program is called “browser hijacker”). No matter what, computer security experts from our team recommend users to remove TVHero from the computer system without a hesitation. Now let’s get into the details and explain reasons why this search engine should not be trusted.
TVHero software can be installed on your computer system without asking for a direct authorization, and when it enters the system, it immediately changes settings in user’s browser, changing home and new tab page address. It alters these settings in order to make Mysearch search engine appear on the homepage. Sadly, this search engine is not famous for its beneficial features, because it hardly has any. It is better known as a search engine that serves modified search results with an intention to make users visit suspicious third-party websites. Please be careful and think twice before clicking on these search results, because you can never know where they can direct you to. Every search result contains a link pointing to a certain web page, and this web page does not necessarily have to be a safe one. Hence, if you decide to explore these search results, keep in mind that you do that at your own risk. In the worst scenario, you might open malicious websites after clicking on a catchy-looking pop-up advertisement, banner or button. Please be mindful as you browse the world wide web, because although it is full of entertaining content, it is as well filled with dangerous content as well. If you already think about TVHero removal, consider using an automatic spyware removal tool to delete it from your PC. If you do not have such one, you can install ReimageIntego and scan your PC with it.
You can go directly to the website that advertises this program and download it from there, or, you can just forget secure-browsing rules and install this application accidentally. Reportedly, this piece of software is distributed alongside other free programs, so please be careful when you install new apps on your PC. Even if you are sure that the program you have just downloaded is spyware and malware free, double check that by selecting Advanced or Custom settings for its installation. These settings reveal all additional applications, toolbars, search tools, and other pieces of software added to your desired software. In order to reject unwanted extras, just remove checkmarks next to them.

Many Native American tribes have traditions of unusual individuals living in hidden subterranean locations. The identity of these underground dwellers remains unknown. According to local stories, these individuals shun contact with the outside world and are only seen on rare occasions.
The Nanih Waiya Cave Mound has a fascinating old mythology among Mississippi's Choctaw Indians.
The Indians maintain that their predecessors came from a manmade subterranean planet, which they consider to be their ancestral homeland, a long time ago. During this period, the Choctaw Indians were besieged by a race of red- and blond-haired, white-skinned giants."
Nanih Waiya is revered by the Choctaw Indians, who believe the large mound connects to a huge subterranean realm with various caves inhabited by various mysterious entities.
The Cherokee have a similar story, in which they "remember a white-skinned race who inhabited on their territory before they came." The Moon-Eyed people were a peculiar kind of humans.
The Moon-Eyed people were said to be little, with pristine white complexion, blond hair, and blue eyes, according to Cherokee tradition. Because their eyes were so delicate that they couldn't see during the day, they were given the moniker Moon-Eyed. They did, however, have outstanding night vision. These A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ inhabitants were forced to dwell in subterranean tunnels because the Sun blinded them."
According to another Cherokee legend, Pilot Mountain is home to a hidden subterranean c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳. A guy was brought to a strange underground area where he lived and encountered the enigmatic Mountain People, according to legend.
The S̳e̳c̳r̳e̳t̳ Underground World of Pilot Mountain Has Been Found
Tsuwe'näh was a resident of Känuga, a little village on the Pigeon River. He was a lazy who preferred to spend his time in the woods and was an ineffective hunter. He made the decision to visit the mountains one day, and while doing so, he was contacted by a stranger who inquired about his plans.
Tsuwe'näh said that his friends had deserted him because they were tired of him. Because he couldn't hunt, he'd been expelled from his town. Tsuwe'näh had been informed that unless he brought a deer this time, he would never be permitted to return home.
As a response, the stranger sat down and listened to Tsuwe'näh's narrative before inviting him to join him.
"Why don't you come along with me?" "My village isn't far from here," the visitor remarked, "and you have relatives there."
"Tsuwe'näh was ecstatic at the prospect of not having to return to his homeland; hence, he accompanied the stranger to Tsuwatel'da (Pilot knob). They came to a tunnel and one suggested, "Let us go in here," but the cave ran right through the mountain's center, and when they got inside, the hunter saw an open nation, replete with a huge village and hundreds of people.
The sight of him brought relief to everyone. They took him to their leader, who welcomed him into his home and sat him by the fire. Tsuwe'näh sat down, but something moved under him, revealing a turtle with its head protruding from its shell when he looked again. The chief told him, "It won't hurt you; it only wants to see who you are."
As he sat down gingerly, the turtle pulled in its head once again. They served him food that was similar to what he ate at home, and after he ate, the chief drove him about the village until he had visited all of the houses and chatted with the majority of the residents. The chief personally took him to the cave's mouth and showed him the trail that went down to the river when he was ready to return to his residence after seeing everything and relaxing for a few days.
He went on to add, "Then he went on to add, " "You're going back to the colony, but you're never going to be happy there again. You are aware of how to reach us at any time." After the chief had left him, Tsuwe'näh traveled down the mountain and down the river until he reached Känuga.
No one believed him when he told his story and instead laughed at him. After then, he would leave the village regularly and for several days at a time, claiming to have been with the mountain people when he returned." One of the villagers felt Tsuwe'näh was telling the truth and requested if he may see the Mountain People.
Tsuwe'näh agreed, and the two men left together toward Pilot Mountain. When they got close to the Mountain People's hidden house, Tsuwe'näh advised his buddy to sit and wait around the campfire. The man followed the instructions and awaited Tsuwe'näh's return with bated breath. Tsuwe'näh returned after two days and nights, and he brought two girls with him.
As they stood near the fire, Tsuwe'näh's companion noticed "feet that were small and round, almost like dogs' paws," but as soon as they noticed him looking, they sat down so he couldn't see them. The entire crew left the camp after supper and went up the stream to Tsuwatel'da.
They went farther into the tunnel until they reached the far end, where they could see houses beyond, when the hunter's legs felt lifeless, and he faltered and fell to the ground. The others assisted him up, but he couldn't stand until the medicine man smeared some "old tobacco" on his knees and forced him to smell it until he sneezed.
He was able to stand up and join the others inside after that. Because he hadn't fasted before starting, he couldn't stand up straight at first.
Tsuwe'näh brought the hunter inside the townhouse and showed him a seat near the fire, but it was encrusted with long thorns of honey locust, and he was scared to sit down. Tsuwe'näh told him there was nothing to be afraid of, so he sat down and realized the thorns were as soft as down feathers. The dance began as the drummer and dancers entered.
One man followed at the end of the line, screaming Kû! Kû! but without dancing. "This man was lost in the mountains and had been shouting for his comrades all through the forests until his voice failed and he could only gasp Kû! Kû!, and then we discovered him and took him in," they said to the hunter.
Tsuwe'näh and his buddies were never seen again after their underground trip.
After the dance, Tsuwe'näh and his buddy returned to Känuga, and the villagers now believed in the presence of the mysterious Mountain People. Some people were so taken away by the generosity and friendliness of the subterranean dwellers that they asked to be allowed to see them.
Tsuwe'näh that if they fasted for seven days while he prepared everything, he'd come and take them to the secret underground realm. He left, and the others fasted, till he returned after seven days, and they joined him in Tsuwatel'da, and their settlement friends never saw them again."
Those who went to Pilot Mountain in North Carolina with Tsuwe'näh never returned, and the Cherokee believe their friends and relatives decided to live in this underground realm, which has long been home to a hidden underground society.

French Tourist Beheaded by ISIS Affiliate in Algeria
Herve Gourdel is now the fourth Westerner to be beheaded in recent weeks.
Unlike American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines who were beheaded by an ISIS member with a British accent and has been dubbed Jihad John, Gourdel was kidnapped on Sunday while hiking in the mountains of northern Algeria by Jund al-Khilafah, an Algerian affiliate of ISIS. France has participated in airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq. Gourdel was mountaineering guide from Nice, France.
What worries me is that the more this happens, the more people will be desensitized to it. To paraphrase Joe Stalin, one beheading is a tragedy, a hundred is a statistic.

Dark Horse has just finished its recent run of Aliens, Predator, Prometheus and Aliens vs Predator Fire and Stone comics. Largely it seems to have sold quite well and been received well by comic critics – with fans it’s been a little bit more mixed.
Randy Stradley, as we should all know as the man responsible for the very first Aliens vs Predator comic, was asked about what was next for Dark Horse now that Fire and Stone had finished its run. He responded with: “We’re working on the next wave. The newly announced Neil Blomkamp film caused a restart.”
Curiously, Tim Lebbon, the author of the upcoming Rage War novel trilogy also commented on the need to go and change some aspects of the first novel of the series, Predator: Incursion, due to Neill Blomkamp’s upcoming Alien 5.
Considering the will-he-wont-he of whether or not Alien 5 will acknowledge of Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection, the implication that these post Alien 3 (post Resurrection in the case of Rage Wars) could be that Alien 5 will not be a straight retcon as has been theorized. Thanks to Ultramorph for the news.
Elden was a construct with living tissue inside of him while David was a synthetic made completely of nonorganic parts.
Keep in mind that Elden didn't just touch a drop of the accelerant...Francis injected a large quantity of it into Elden's system.
Perhaps synthetics are more resistant to the accelerant albeit not immune. David would be the most resistant to any sort of change. A human would be highly vulnerable and Elden would be somewhere in between.
Perhaps the accelerant started converting Elden's synthetic mass into organic mass or something like that. I agree that the writers could've done a much better job of explaining things. Mentioning "meat robot" isn't really an adequate explanation.
In hindsight, I'm now curious as to what the story was meant to be, before they had to advance it in time. If memory serves right, that was the reason for why the spacesuits wound up looking like those of the Prometheus crew; not enough time to change the art.
Luckily a recent statement says that Blomkamp's Alien 5 has caused another "restart", which has also led to Rage War being rewritten to accommodate. Guess we can toss F&S into the ole' 'What If' pile along with well, pretty much everything else.
Well, that statement could mean anything. I mean... Fire and Stone still takes place in 2179, right? Like.. DURING the events of ALIENS, am I correct in this? If that is the case.. that could remain "safe" and Blomkamp's movie doesn't affect it, assuming that movie is a retcon. And statements make it appear as such..
Aliens starts a week after Aliens and then continues for about 6 months. The other series take place nearly a century or so after Aliens.
& the Colonial Marines game, but that turned out to be due to development troubles. The point is that I couldn't stand to wait that long.
Besides River Of Pain the only other thing I've got left to experience between now & P2/A5 is Alien: Isolation. I could get it on PS3 but to space things out I'm waiting until I have a PS4. Also, I want the best possible experience.
I wish Dark Horse would step up it's game to the speed of the 90's releases. I could go for a new book every month.
I seem to remember feeling like things were being pushed back to arrive closer to Prometheus a few years ago.
I don't remember that. What were those things being release to coincide with Prometheus' release again?
I hope so. I'd hate for it to get pushed back to capitalize on a sales spike stemming from NB's movie. I got the previous trilogy a few weeks ago & am already on River Of Pain. Don't want to wait long!
But Rage War? Lebbon said that little was changed. So we don't know what that could mean but methinks that Rage War is going to be released before Blomkamp's movie, and within that time Alien 3 and Resurrection would still be considered "canon" along with Rage War until Blomkamp's movie is released.. Which would negate that stuff.
Even being a cyborg doesn't explain the stuff I pointed out. Why is his flesh (if it even is that) affected so symmetrically and uniformly, where other characters even in the same story aren't? What was the point of bringing along a 'meat robot'? If he is organic, then why are other "constructs" clearly metal/plastic? How was the ooze reprogramming his CPU?
And what was even so special about him that his internal fluids would somehow filter the black ooze? It's the primary focus of what the entire series revolves around and they just kind of hand-wave it without any explanation.
Also really strange to see him drawing "hello" on various random posters in the corridors... I remember thinking it was a hint of something which would make sense later. Seems it was just... There. No rhyme or reason.
Also, it's mentioned there are both constructs and synthetics aboard ship. The Working Joe-alikes are termed 'constructs' and the only other machine is Elden. Therefore... Elden = synthetic?
I thought it was pretty obvious early on he was supposed to be something different, even if they didn't approach it completely clearly.
Therein lies the problem. If you are going to introduce something different, yet similar to existing things, into an "established" universe, you need to do so in a way that allows the reader to learn what that different thing is and how those difference affect the story.
The way it was handled left more questions than answers and, for me at least, gave the feel of them wanting this thing to exist for the purpose of the story, but not knowing how to explain its existence beyond ambiguous references.
This is exactly why I prefer self contained stories. One author with a love of the source material wouldn't cause all of these issues. When you have a bunch of them working in unison wires get crossed.
Besides, I knew as soon as I saw Kelly Sue Deconnick's name attached it was going to be less than stellar. Omega was the most disappointingly written of all. Oh, the Queen is too fat to be a threat & just gets her head lopped off? Talk about anti-climactic & then there's the mountain & signal throwaway.
I thought it was pretty obvious early on he was supposed to be something different, even if they didn't approach it completely clearly. The meat robot comment makes it obvious hes supposed to be organic in some fashion, as does the accerelant's ability to effect him at all.
We really don't know how to it operated. It could be some sort of advanced nanotech capable of affecting both organics and non-organics
There doesn't seem to be any indication of what Elden is, sadly. There's an off-hand "meat robot" reference (which sounds a bit nonsensical), but it seems to be comtradicted by other quotes. Especially with the mechanical crash dummy-like droids also being called 'constructs'.
As for nanotechnology, that should have meant it affected David 8 when he touched it, too. Also still wouldn't explain how Elden's programming was altered. Malfunctoning would have meant he just shut down or became mostly inoperable. It wouldn't make him suddenly develop emotions and a personality.
Also, even if he were a cyborg, like I said, what makes his flesh so superior that his mutation became so sleek and uniform, when it just turns everything else into a chaotic mess?
Elden is organic: Why were the mutations so symmetrical? What made his genetics so superior that the stuff made him a new, streamlined creature, when it just seems to turn everything else into a mess?
Elden is a synthetic: How did the black ooze affect his programming? It's not like it can interface with his CPU and communicate in binary. How did it create flesh where none existed?
I thought it seemed obvious. He procrastinated over whether to infect himself with the black ooze, then the Aliens struck.
My only big complaints are that I wish Derrick Russel's fate had been made more clear, and come up somehow in Omega, and that they had done more with the mountain and the human signal. There's enough info to piece together what was going on with it, but it would have been nice to get a bit more pay-off.
The Prometheus crew seemed to trigger a storm on the planet when they changed the Atmosphere in the Ampule room, is it possible that- that actually did terraform the planet?
I don't recall any rain being involved. Wasn't it like a big ole' cloud of sand/dust? I got the impression the crew triggered a primitive trap designed to stop anyone interfering with stuff.
I got from the very start of the series that Elden was supposed to be something other than an android from the term construct. However, I think it could have been said somewhat more blatantly. There's a lot of the feel of Prometheus in this - ambiguity in the story.
Elden is the biggest flaw, though. As I say, they even call those mechanised crash dummy things 'constructs'. There's literally no definition for if there's even meant to be a difference between those and synthetics, much less what it is. Plus, the whole thing of Elden referring to himself as previously being a "dumb robot".
There's an off-hand reference to him being termed a "meat robot", but what would even be the point of that? Breeding cloned humans in giant vats with a really basic IQ level? Elden is literally wandering the corridors writing 'hello' on posters on the walls... He's like a child with an adult vocabulary. He's acting like a synthetic (albeit, a slightly demented one). Why create an organic being like that - for incredibly important missions - if you already have access to more conventional - and reprogrammable - androids?
Either they should have thought through Elden's character a lot more or given him much less of an impact on the story.
Also just remembered there's an example of the ooze somehow turning an Alien's acid into red blood... Much strangeness!
Even if we presuppose there was some kind of ancient and dormant life for it to ignite (which the story in no way suggests), that doesn't explain how the heck so much water suddenly appeared.
Ha! Right. It's such a repeat of William Birkin from Resident Evil 2 or a Jekyll/Hyde type thing. Mad scientist injects himself with some crap, becomes muscle bound monster. We already have our monsters in this series & don't need any more!
I gotta admit I did like that big dumb oaf-ish Predator with all the mouth fingers though. He's kinda cute really.
I'm just gonna guess it seeped into the ground deep enough to find some dormant seeds or mixed with Earth-born bacteria from the Prometheus crash.
Was it ever confirmed that those earthworms on 223 where indigenous? I'd have to assume there are plenty of organics for them to feed off of if so.
The story is pretty silly when you take Elden into account. I did like his character but it doesn't seem like a synth should be affected & there's a whole lot of movie monster mash up hooey going on. I enjoyed F&S but would have preferred them keep all of the franchises separate.
I still have no idea where the ecosystem was even meant to have come from. The ooze doesn't create organic matter, it just rewrites/mutates it. I have a feeling the writers assumed it did.
Still don't understand how Elden got changed, either. There are contradictory references to exactly what a 'construct' is and it's not at all clear they aren't one and the same as synthetics. They even call those crash dummy-like things 'constructs', which were clearly machines and Elden says, "I'm not the dumb robot anymore."
As for the mountain, that was severely anti-climactic. They just hand-waved a big mystery in front of the reader and never bothered to explain it. Even the signal, of apparent human origin, just seemed to be put in there for the heck of it.
Aliens was the most enjoyable read, while I found Prometheus & AvP to have the best art. Prometheus in particular had an interesting way of handling the goo-born wildlife on 223. I especially liked the 'sharks', which looked pretty terrifying.
Predator wasn't bad, but felt very 90's & Galgo's personality caused a shift in tone to something more comical & action oriented.
Prometheus F&S Omega had some great art too but I felt kinda disappointed with the outcome of the story. So the living mountain was supposed to be what had become of the squid-burster? It clearly showed that thing die in the Prometheus film after implanting the Engineer.
This series didn't really play it safe with canon. The next movie is likely to contradict everything they established. Speaking of which, I think I'll be giving Aliens Apocalypse: The Destroying Angels another read soon now that I have all of the Omnibus volumes.
We can technically shoehorn Pride and Prejudice in with Predator but it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
I think it's actually (generally speaking) a really good idea to give the universe some cultural and human depth other than the Alien/Predator films.
It depends how much further, if Prometheus 2 ignores the concept of Aliens and even Engineers as Ridley Scott has implied in recent interviews then what is there to connect Prometheus with the AVP universe? There's a difference between expanding a universe with a spinoff and shoehorning random, non-contradicting stories in just to make a quick buck. We can technically shoehorn Pride and Prejudice in with Predator but it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Prometheus splitting off and moving farther away from the Alien series would be best for both series, in my opinion.
Personally, I'd take the AVP films over Prometheus any day of the week; at least they tried to be Alien and Predator-related, I have a strong feeling that Prometheus is only using Alien as a launching platform before discarding it entirely comparable to the boosters a space shuttle uses to leave Earth and then discards upon entering the atmosphere.
Yeah I noticed that, when will creators get that fans don't want any future Aliens/AVP/Predator stuff to be affiliated in any way to Requiem or even the AVP films in general. I think they used the same title style for the AVP issue.
I really disliked Fire and Stone. It didn't feel like several connected stories. It was one long Prometheus story cut up into parts, guest staring Aliens and Predators, and a couple of those parts didn't fit the title they appeared in. They should have titled the books Prometheus: Aliens and Prometheus: Predator, etc...
I agree here. Aliens was definitely separate but Prometheus, AvP and Predator all felt like one long title.
But in general, an over-arching continuity makes a franchise feel more legitimate to me. That's my own opinion though. It doesn't help if its all tripe though. But done and managed right, a big continuity is fun.
I'd really missed that over-arcing feel from the earlier comics. I like my universe to be expansive and connected, where anything can matter. It's not really something we got aside from the original 4 stories and I missed it. I missed it in Dark Horse Press' Aliens novel run and I'd liked it during their attempted relaunch in 09.
It was one of the aspects of Fire and Stone I liked and something I would like to see going forward. Not that I'd be adverse to stand-alones, I just want them properly managed and to have an impact somewhere in the grand scheme of things.
At some point, a connected world becomes too "populated" and starts leaving more questions than answers.
I'm fine with it if it makes sense for the narrative, but I don't think the writers should have to tie it all together at the expense of a better story.
I hope they just go back to the self contained storytelling of the 90's. I just want my traditional Alien minis, like what they recently did with Inhuman Condition & Fast Track To Heaven. Just give me a proven author & a great artist & tell me a good story I can take in as a singular whole. I don't need ties to every film & game & novel complicating things & needing a retcon after every damn movie Fox releases.
I had no problem with the 'Prometheus' stuff being included, but the liberties taken with the Hadley's Hope colonists were very lazy, there was very little in the way of actual Alien/Predator confrontation after the creative team criticised that as as a flaw in previous stories and Elden was... A poor walking plot-device.
Wasn't it the Prometheus stuff that essentially created the poor walking plot device, which by extension made the AvP action take a back seat in its own title and which reduced the Aliens to little more than a minor threat in their own title?

For me the problem with the Fire and Stone series was its overuse of Prometheus elements in EVERY title. So much so, that I think the Alien and AVP series suffered because of it. I'd be happy if they just let it slip away, the way they let the last attempted reboot slip away.
I couldn't agree more. I'm so hungry for new information on any of the upcoming projects. I'm hoping that Titan at least officially announces Rage War soon. I want to know the broad strokes of what they have planned. Hopefully it involves the Arcturians, or maybe even going back to LV-223.
I get why people are upset about the changes being made, but for me at least, this is looking like a pretty good time to be a fan.
On the Blomkamp side of things, these recent developments at Titan and Dark Horse make me wonder if we will indeed be getting an "interquel" set between the second and third films.
I wouldn't use horrendous to describe it. I don't feel it packed the punch it wanted to, but I wouldn't call it horrendous at all.

7 Behaviors Top Business Leaders Share That Dial Up the Accountability Inside Their Companies
Here are 7 of the most important behaviors for you to model over time. Discover which behaviors you're breaking every week.
Clarify your commitments in writing at the end of every meeting.
Circle back with the team members who are involved with your action steps and give them feedback on your progress and completion at regular intervals.
Clearly state what you can't commit to so that you don't lower the accountability bar in your company through missing a "phantom deliverable".
Beware of "phantom deliverables" -the things that the other person thinks you committed to but you didn't.
Being on time--all the time--is a simple behavior that your team will generalize to mean that you take your commitments seriously and live in integrity.
How you own your mistakes and failures is as important as how you model your successes.
Most breakdowns in accountability come from incomplete or poor handoffs.
The combination of these 7 time-tested tips, applied with gentle pressure--relentlessly--will have a big impact inside your company in shaping your team to help you get and sustain growth.

The National Environment Board on Tuesday tightened safe standards for particulate matter of 2.5 micrometres or less in diameter (PM2.5) in a bid to prevent further impact on people’s health.
Under new levels, the 24-hour standard has been changed to 37.5 micrograms per cubic metre of air (μg/m3) from the previous 50 μg/m3. This standard will come into effect on June 1 next year.
Meanwhile, the annual standard has been changed to 15 μg/m3 from the previous of 25 μg/m3, which will come into effect after it is announced in the Royal Gazette.
The adjustments come as Thailand has used the same standards for more than ten years, Pollution Control Department director-general Atthaphon Charoenchansa said.
Apart from enhancing the country’s PM2.5 standards and preventing an impact on people’s health, he said the move also aimed to meet standards implemented by the US, the European Union, South Korea, Japan and other Asean countries.
The adjustments are also in line with the Cabinet’s resolution to boost efficiency in tackling air pollution, he added.

GOODNIGHTIRENE, Mar 5, 2012
Am I crazy to think that's a great price for Joe?
maybe (I'd say no but I've been unsure of all my bets lately ) -- I got a nice bet on warren @ +255, might've been bigger than it should since I forgot it was 5 rounds; not a cardio assessment, but Warren always seems at risk of getting finished, and he wins by scorecards. I don't think I've seen that much of Curran off his back (and definitely not his TDD tested by someone w/ Warren's skills), but confident in that he can muscle out of bad positions. Warren is pretty resilient w/ bad first rounds vs Soto & the '45 Friere bro, and always seems to turn it on after; his 2 losses happening ~60 seconds from the opening bell . +265 comes out to 27.3%, I think fight goes distance w/ Joe taking 3 or more rounds on 2+ cards happens at those odds, if not more, factor in the other ways he could win (small %), and I agree on great price. The fact that one is coming off a vicious KO W, and the other a KO L might've shifted public perception and the line, but if so not much.
And while Curran's wins have been great, he's never methodically beat up someone on Joe's level. Some really nice finishes but I really haven't been impressed enough to think the Curran line is fair value.
PredictionPain, Mar 7, 2012
I also like Warren at the current odds. I'm usually on the Curran train, but I've always taken him as a dog. The thing is, he's a pretty huge FW and has great defensive wrestling and technical boxing in addition to a granite chin. He's also 4" taller than Joe. Warren isn't exactly known for having heavy hands or any type of sub game so the only way I see him winning is on the cards. But I think there is a very good chance this goes the distance and it's possible Warren can stay busy enough to persuade the judges.
The odds are probably the way they are b/c Curran seems to have all the advantages in addition to Joe getting KTFO in his last fight.
Size - Curran
Height - Curran
KO Power - Curran
Subs - Curran
Experience - Curran
I'm throwing all that out the window... Warren seems to have a lot of luck on his side and I'll take a shot at +255.

I dont know how you see Warren winning. Soto was able to outstrike Warren pretty badly in that first round.

11 of 13 Cleveland firefighters plead not guilty to shift-trading allegations
Eleven of the 13 Cleveland firefighters indicted in a payroll abuse case pleaded not guilty in court Thursday morning.
CLEVELAND - Eleven of the 13 Cleveland firefighters indicted in a payroll abuse case pleaded not guilty in court Thursday morning.
Judge Nancy McDonnell released each of the men, who were suspended with pay last week, on $5,000 personal bond.
The firefighters allegedly involved are: Calvin Robinson, Kevin Dever, Bernard Frohnapple, Barry Kifus, Kevin P. Kelly, James Oleksiak, Robert Graham, Michael Milano, Nicholas Ruccella, Gary McNamara, Peter Corso, Thomas Jurcisin, and Daniel Losteiner.
The firefighters are accused of paying co-workers for taking shifts assigned to them. Investigators say each of the men didn't work for about a year of scheduled time. One of the firefighters, Calvin Robinson, allegedly failed to work for roughly four and a half years, but was paid for the time.
The city of Cleveland conducted internal audits. They showed from 2006 to 2010, the firefighters didn't work their scheduled time and their colleagues picked up their shifts. Prosecutors said, by doing so, the 13 men were able to work a second full time job, while still getting a paycheck from the city.

The Lenovo Chromebook S330 Hits Its Lowest Price Of 2019
Tech Deals / The Lenovo Chromebook S330 Hits Its Lowest Price Of 2019
Amazon has dropped the Lenovo Chromebook S330 down to its lowest price of 2019, so far.
It's now just $219.99. This is not it's lowest price ever, as we did see it at this price during Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year. But this is the lowest it has been since the holiday season. It's regular price is around $299, and we routinely see it drop down to $249.
The Lenovo Chromebook S330 is a really great Chromebook to pick up for a number of reasons. Firstly, because it's pretty inexpensive. Allowing you to get a new laptop without spending a ton on it.
This Chromebook also has a nice sized display. Coming in at about 14-inches, that's larger than most other Chromebooks in this price range. That is also with a Full HD display – 1920×1080.
Inside, the Chromebook S330 is being powered by a MediaTek MT8173C chipset, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That might not sound like a lot of power, but one has to remember that this is a Chromebook. It is running a browser only. And this hardware is going to be plenty for this Chromebook. Allowing you to get some great performance out of it.
It also has plenty of storage, seeing as Chrome saves everything into the cloud, using Google Drive. So you'll likely never run out of space on this Chromebook.
Finally, the Chromebook S330 does also support Android apps. Allowing you to run your favorite Android apps and games on this Chromebook. Which does make it a whole lot more impressive and useful. It doesn't have a touchscreen, so it's not quite the same as the apps working on your smartphone, but pretty similar. The non-touch screen keeps the price pretty cheap.

Custom heavy haul: Introducing Modern Machinery Movers | Overdrive - Owner Operators Trucking Magazine
Custom heavy haul: Introducing Modern Machinery Movers
Todd Dills | August 02, 2010
Clark Tucker opened his Indianapolis-based small fleet Modern Machinery Movers as a single-truck operation in 2002 to capitalize on heavy-haul opportunities in the wind-energy sector, a move that has proved fruitful. Today he employs 10 drivers. "Growing up on a farm, I bought my first truck, a 1946 Dodge, and never looked back," says Tucker. "I've been both a heavy-haul trucker and a new and used truck dealer, so I'm well-versed on what it takes to move heavy equipment. As long as I have the proper tractor, I know I can get the job done."
The former dealer naturally sought out the manufacturer he thought was best suited for the custom specs he needed to adequately move turbine towers. Tucker's customized twin-steer tri-drive Western Star 4900 SA is a unique five-axle tractor with a 515-hp Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine, 40,000-pound front axles and 69,000-pound rears. The 13-axle steerable trailer features a double Schnabel unit that carries the wind towers.
"These unique heavy-spec tri-drive tractors do a superior job of balancing the weight distribution and increasing maneuverability for the on-site, off-road capabilities of these units," Tucker says.
If you missed it, check out the digital version of the June Severe Service supplement to Overdrive, which includes, in addition to more about Tucker's fleet; a round-up of three new Class 3-5 pickups from Navistar, GM and Ford; numerous new vocational truck products; and features looking deep into proper tire tread choices and maintenance of DPFs in post-2007 engines.

With regards to your property, planning right from the beginning is the important thing to saving you cash and time. There are a number of things to consider to building or renovation, you just don't resolve sooner or later you'll start building something then start.
It's essential get the plans drawn up and submitted to council, hire the construction crew, order building materials and so on...and if any one in every of these areas goes flawed then you possibly can have delays for a very long time. Ever dealt with council, your worst nightmare if you do not know what you are doing. Need I'm going on?
What are you able to do to avoid these and any problems that might crop up through the building phase? Hiring an experienced and accredited architect to run the job, and address all issues and problems with total confidence is the smartest thing you are able to do for yourself. So what attributes must you search for when hiring an architect?
This could sound easy, after all you want them remedy the problems and every development site has them. Mistaken building supplies turning up, limitation on house, plans not read correctly and builders doing their own thing. Search for an architect continuing education that will point out these issues within the interview. An architect that says they've never had an issue is to be prevented they clearly have by no means stepped on a building site.
Every council requires documentation to be accomplished and this could be one of many largest hurdles you have to to face. Make certain the architect you choose has expertise in finishing this type of documentation, and had earlier dealings with councils to reply all questions. And there will likely be questions.
You now have your plans, approvals and designs, so you are ready to start out building and the architect is to supervise the job on your behalf. Be sure that they've the abilities and expertise to minimize hidden surprises and anticipate any issues that may come up.
An eco friendly building will assist save on electrical energy prices and assist toward global warming. Check to see is the architect has had experience in eco friendly building design.
Saving money isn't just about getting the most affordable plans. It's about getting worth to your money. If you spend the money and time on the design and planning stages of your development or renovation, you then'll save time and money in the end. An experienced architect can show you how.
There is no level having a design that appears pleasing, but isn't sensible for the individuals who use it. Your architect must be able to see any potential flaws in the design and supply workable solutions.
An architect with skilled and good repute shall be able to offer skilled advice, concepts and provide help to with what's best for you, with out you feeling like your opinion would not matter.
Hiring an architect is challenging because you possibly can't 'test drive' the end product through the interview. You will only know how the project turns out at its completion. So spend the time to choose a superb architect. Interview a number of and see who you think is qualified and a very good personality match for you. You can be spending lots of time with them so choose wisely!

Chickens - Gospel for Asia
For people in developing nations, a pair of chickens can create a steady income. Chicken eggs provide food for the family and the extras can be sold at the market. Chickens also make more chickens, which provides for a family for years.
By starting a campaign, you'll enable GFA missionaries to share the love of Christ by giving chickens to those in need.
Watch the video to see one family who was impacted by chickens
A rooster and a hen can produce up to 40 dozen eggs a year, providing nourishment for a family!
When the chickens multiply, they soon turn into a whole flock, providing income for years.
With the income produced from chickens, kids can go to school and medical bills can get paid.
Chickens are easy to take care of and can thrive almost anywhere.
Raise Funds for a Pair of Chickens or a Whole Flock
By raising funds for chickens, GFA missionaries can share the love of Christ with people in need. Motivate your friends to transform numerous families, all with the help of this small, inexpensive gift.

The problem with slim fit shirts? They're always tight on the chest and bunched up on the shoulders, making them neither comfortable nor all that good-looking. These Trim Denim Shirts offer an alternative, providing a clean fit for athletic frames without constricting the chest and shoulder areas.
Smartwatches may be gadgets, but anything worn prominently on your wrist need to be treated as a nice piece of jewelry. Android Wear fans now have that option with the LG Watch Urbane Luxe, a limited-edition, luxury smartwatch adorned in 23-karat gold with an alligator leather strap.

Don't give up on HISD [Editorial]
May 5, 2018 Updated: May 7, 2018 9:35 a.m.
A Houston ISD bus driver leaves the HISD Northwest Shop on the 6300 block of Pinemont Drive as he headed out on his afternoon route.Johnny Hanson, Staff / Houston Chronicle
Something has changed in Texas public schools.
For decades, the Lone Star State's education system could rely on bipartisan support, not to mention healthy bolstering from the oil-fueled Permanent School Fund. But when Pulitzer-prize winning author Lawrence Wright was in Houston last week to speak about his new book, "God Save Texas," he couldn't help but point out that public education has suffered from a dearth of investment that's distinctly, well, "un-Texan."
The state's current ranking in per pupil spending for education funding ranks 40th or lower by some measures, and the national ratings for reading levels for both 4th and 8th graders are even worse.
RELATED: Worried about HISD? Blame Austin
ALSO: Bullying in the HISD boardroom
With this sort of pessimism at the top, and a threat of state takeover for the Houston Independent School District, it can be tempting to simply give up. But Texans don't give in when the going gets tough. Now more than ever, Houstonians need to rally behind our schools.
The HISD board needs to start working hand-in-hand with these parents. That means transparency in its plans, listening to parents and students — even if they go over their allotted time during public comments — and putting an end to internal squabbling. This week, Houston ISD Trustee Elizabeth Santos called for school board President Rhonda Skillern-Jones to step down in light of last month's heated board meeting. Parents and students deserve an apology from Skillern-Jones, but trustees must act as a cohesive board of governors. That means avoiding public spats.
EDITORIAL: Vote no on charter takeover
RELATED: Students should have say in next HISD superintendent
The business and nonprofit community also has an opportunity to help provide guidance and resources. Already, groups such as Leadership ISD, Houstonians for Great Public Schools and Good Reason all engage with our public schools to empower good teachers, help needy students and push HISD in the right direction.
This business expertise would be most helpful in overseeing a much-needed audit of HISD. It's beyond careless that HISD can't prove to naysayers that it is an efficient steward of tax dollars. No outsider has been hired to take a good look at HISD's books for over a decade. The board is expected to vote this Thursday on authorizing a wide-ranging performance audit.
EDITORIAL: Rethink how voters elect the HISD board
Things aren't better up in Austin. It's unbelievable in 2018 that the Texas Legislature doesn't even know how much it costs to properly educate its students. Meanwhile, state stewardship of education dollars operates with a perverse logic. For the past decade, the Legislature shortchanged public schools while lavishly paying private contractors for tests to show they are failing. Then, in 2015, the Legislature threatened struggling schools with state takeover without providing additional resources.
Now, Houstonians are living with the divisive results, parents pitted against parents, and schools battling for survival.
On Tuesday, Mayor Sylvester Turner proposed that the city partner with businesses and philanthropic groups to create a nonprofit that would work with Houston ISD to turn around its failing schools. Although the Texas Education Agency said that such a partnership is not allowed under existing law, Turner's proposal should serve as a call to action to the business community, the nonprofit community, parents and teachers that the district can't be sloughed off onto the state as its problem to solve.
It would be an easy way out of this mess if Mike Morath, commissioner of TEA, had the manpower and the resources to rescue our kids while Houstonians applaud from the sidelines. But the results of TEA's previous state takeovers have been mixed.
Houstonians must step up and engage in the conversation about how funding, accountability and governance are affecting students. We must stop settling for the status quo and demand a group of leaders — whether elected or appointed — who will put kids first.

China, Peru ink free trade agreement
on: April 28, 2009 In: Economics & TradeTags: No Comments
China and Peru signed a free trade agreement on Tuesday in what is seen as part of Beijing's ongoing efforts to secure natural resources to fuel its economic growth, AFP reported, citing state media. The agreement will see the gradual removal of tariffs on more than 90% of the goods traded between the two countries, ranging from Chinese electronics to Peruvian minerals. Peru is a major producer of lead, zinc, copper, tin and gold. Under the agreement, which was signed by Peruvian Vice President Luis Giampietri in Beijing, the two countries also promised to open their service sectors and extend favorable treatment to investors. China is Peru's second largest trading partner after the US. Bilateral trade between China and Peru stood at about US$6.5 billion in the first 10 months of 2008, according to government statistics.

Kanpur: Thanks to CCTV, an Indian family currently residing in US' New Jersey, managed to thwart a burglary attempt at their house in Kanpur. The family called up the Kanpur police after they watched live footage in which miscreants were seen trying to break into their house. Thankfully, the police reached the house in time and caught the burglars while they were at work.Also Read - Hungry Thief Cooks Khichdi in The Middle of Burglary, Arrested by Assam Police | See Tweet
The incident happened late on Monday night when 38-year-old Vijay Awasthi, a software engineer in New Jersey, received an alert on his mobile phone. The signal was from the CCTV cameras and sensors he had installed at his ancestral house in Shyam Nagar under Chakeri police station. As he watched the live footage of miscreants breaking into his house, he informed the police. Vijay also used the mic option to warn the intruders but the warning had no impact on them. Instead, they broke the CCTV cameras.
DCP, East, Pramod Kumar, said that as a precautionary measure, police force has been deployed at the house. The condition of the injured miscreant is improving. "We will interrogate him and find out about his accomplices who will be arrested soon," he said. Police said a tenant and caretaker were also living in Vijay's house. But the tenant had gone to his village a few days ago.

Burn Bright- DEFINITELY DID!
This is another exceptional book by Patricia B.- her writing is so consistently outstanding that I never need to check reviews in order to decide on getting the next book in the series. I'm now on to more great reading in Book 6. This was another (5) Star 🌟 read all the way. Thank you P.B.- Cincy Kid 68!
EtandBdesigns , 11/30/2020
I have throughly enjoyed all of Patricia Briggs books, in both the Alpha and Omega Series, as well as the Mercy Thompson Series. I also enjoy the way she alternated between the two, one year she releases an Alpha Omega book and the next year a Mercy Thompson one.
Easygoing Game r , 05/31/2018
Definitely a book worth a read. My favorite series among Ms. Briggs' books. However I'm glad the heroine wasn't kidnapped again this time....

How to Clean Upholstery | 🥇 New Orleans Cleaning Services
Home » Cleaning Upholstery 101
While keeping your upholstery fresh and stain‐free can be daunting, it actually doesn't have to be that overwhelming. All you need is a couple of good tricks and keeping your furniture hygienic and spotless will be a breeze.
A great solution for the never‐ending chores is reaching out to a reliable company in New Orleans that provides comprehensive cleaning services. However, if you'd like to tackle your furniture on your own, you might be interested in the following tips for keeping your upholstery as good as new. Read on.
How do you clean old dirty upholstery?
Before you start restoring shine to your old upholstery, you should check the label for the recommended type of cleaner. This label should contain one of the following codes:
S – solvent based
WS – water or solvent
X – professional cleaning
If there's no label on your piece, first test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area. If it doesn't damage the material, you can start with the actual clean up.
To remove dust and dirt from upholstery, use the corresponding attachment to vacuum the piece thoroughly. Work your way from the top down and use short strokes from left to right. You can use the crevice attachment to properly clean tufting, seems, folds, and the area around buttons.
W and WS code
For pieces you can treat with water, it's best to first do a quick steam clean to loosen up the long accumulated dirt. Then, you can apply the following steps:
Mix a squirt of mild dish detergent into a bucket of warm water.
Use a soft brush to dampen the piece with the soapy water, making sure you don't soak any parts.
Use a cloth dampened with clean water to wipe the surface.
Let it air dry and do not use a hair dryer since it could damage the material.
When it comes to cushions, first clean one side and let dry overnight, then do the same with the other side.
You'll need to use only solvent‐based products for furniture with this code. You can apply the product onto a clean towel to gently rub over the entire area. Make sure you ventilate the room well while working and allow your piece to fully dry before using it again.
To remove an old stain, you should first try the soapy solution you used to clean your piece in the first place, but this time dampen a sponge with it and blot the stain without rubbing. Rinse the sponge and use clean water to blot out all the soapy water. Press dry with paper towels or a cloth.
When you cannot use water on your piece, use the solvent‐based product and work it into the stain with a soft brush. If the stain remains visible, repeat the entire process. In case it remains even after a couple of rounds, it's time to call the pros.
Where in New Orleans can I hire reliable cleaning services?
If you'd like to keep your mirrors streak‐free and restore shine to your windows, as well as ensure an adequate treatment for your electronics, reach out to Geaux Maids of New Orleans. We boast highly trained, bonded, and insured professionals who always go out of their way to make our clients happy.
Rather than immersing yourself in the never ending household tasks, take your family for an inspiring tour of the New Orleans Museum of Arts and let us make sure you come back to a fresh and clean home. Call now and schedule your initial appointment!
While keeping your upholstery fresh and stain‐free can be daunting, it actually doesn't have to be that

Indonesia El Niño Drought Crisis - Indonesia | ReliefWeb
Indonesia El Niño Drought Crisis
El Niño Drought Crisis ASID81
ACT Network Appeal Target: US$ 367,057
Indonesia's recent history has been troubled by a combination of drought caused by El Niño, forest fires, ethnic strife and a political and monetary crisis which has left the average Indonesian anxious about the immediate future and struggling to cope in a crippled present.
A report from the World Food Program (WFP) states that the food supply situation in Indonesia has deteriorated since their last assessment in March, due to the prolonged effects of the El Niño drought and the intensification of the financial and economic crisis. As a result, the household food security of an ever larger portion of the population is being threatened. The World Bank has estimated that up to 50 million people will face problems in maintaining an acceptable caloric intake in the coming months.
The churches of Indonesia, under the leadership of the Communion of Churches of Indonesia (CCI), are preparing to launch a national campaign to address some of the effects of the drought, forest fires, and the monetary crisis. As one part of this effort, CCI and the Synod of East Kalimantan will be utilizing a $10,000 grant from the New Zealand government to provide food and seeds to 6 villages in the southern part of East Kalimantan.
In addition, in coordination with CCI, the global Protestant and Orthodox emergency response network (ACT International) is stepping in to assist with an Appeal to meet needs resulting from drought caused by El Niño in West Timor and Sulawesi.
Church World Service, in coordination with CCI, plans to assist central Sulawesi with food aid from USAID. This will consist of a comprehensive program of:
food for Work targeting the most severely drought-affected villages by increasing food availability through importation of rice until the next harvest;
ensuring that children under 5 and lactating mothers do not fall into a state of malnourishment; and
strengthening of infrastructures.
The Synod of West Timor, through its development NGO Alfa Omega, is already addressing the impact of drought in 3 districts with a grant from AusAID and is appealing to ACT for food and seed assistance to 2 more districts. Assistance has so far been coordinated with the government, as well as other NGOs including Catholic Relief Services.
Please kindly send your contributions to the ACT bank account.

Alfa Omega Foundation for Community Service (ACT/YAO)
II. IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER AND PARTNER INFORMATION
Church World Service (CWS) is a global relief, development and refugee assistance organization with 34 Protestant and Orthodox member communions and an annual budget of over $42 million. CWS implements programs throughout the world in sectors which include micro-enterprise development, disaster and emergency relief, food production and agriculture, and health. CWS and its local partners implement humanitarian assistance programs solely on the basis of need with no sectarian bias. CWS looks forward to the opportunity to bring critical food aid relief to the people of Sulawesi who are suffering from the serious drought and economic crisis. CWS has worked in Indonesia for more than two decades implementing hundreds of projects including several large USAID Title II and PL 480 programs.
Church World Service is a ministry of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA and has had a long partnership with the Communion of Churches of Indonesia. Beginning in the early 1960's, Church World Service implemented a program of relief and development assistance throughout Indonesia. Throughout this time, CWS has worked in close partnership with the Communion of Churches of Indonesia-Sulsera (CCI). From 1991 through 1995, CWS was integrated into the Participation in Development Program (PARPEM) of the Communion of Churches of Indonesia. In designing this proposal, CWS has worked closely with the Communion of Churches of Indonesia-Sulsera staff and the Communion of Churches of Indonesia-Jakarta staff . Local church staff and congregants in selected villages will assist in the implementation of this initiative in order to ensure the participation of all segments of the community including women and youth.
Yayasan Alfa Omega (YAO) was formed on 1 March 1985 by Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (Christian Evangelical Church of Timor - GMIT) with the aim of developing church members in diakonia service. The outreach of the service to the community is not limited by religion, ethnic group, race or status. The areas served by ACT/YAO coincide with the areas served by GMIT including Kupang Area, South Central Timor, North Central Timor, Belu and Alor. During 13 years of YAO service, a large number of trained community development motivators or cadres have spread throughout the service area including some other provinces in Eastern Indonesia.
These motivators or cadres have various skills according to the type of their training, such as Village Development Monitors, Heath Monitors, Soil Conservation, Participatory Rural Appraisal, Gender, Community Self-Help Development, Bamboo Skills, Basic Training, Small Business Management and Strategic Planning. Other than at the central institution, training is also carried out at the area level according to the needs of the community. In 12 areas of service, there are now 26 study centres, 9 candidate centres and 61 work groups. Activities developed by the groups are horticulture, animal husbandry, fishing, savings and loans, mixed farming, long term plants and other service activities. YAO also has experience in managing emergency response programs, such as the tidal wave disaster in Alor (1991), the tidal wave in Maumere (1992) and the landslide in Tunbaun (1997) by organising the community that has experienced the disaster, identifying the problems, looking for alternative solutions and assisting the community experiencing the disaster giving support and enthusiasm for life so that the emergency aid can be managed along with the follow-up aid. After the disaster a program can be planned for the post disaster situation.
III. DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY
Background and current drought situation - Sulawesi (ACT/CWS/CCI)
Indonesia is currently suffering the effects of a severe drought which is seriously affecting the food security of its vulnerable populations. Although drought is common in many areas of Indonesia, this year's lack of rainfall is considered much more disruptive than previous years due to the El Niño weather phenomenon. The abnormal weather pattern had affected rainfall and land fertility. According to the World Bank, the drop in rainfall has been as high as 30% in many areas of Eastern Indonesia (Nusa Tenggara Timur and Nusa Tengarra Buarat) with smaller drops also accompanied by rain fall that is off normal seasonal cycles. In South Sulawesi the normal rainfall has dropped more than 50%, according to the FAO/WFP, from approximately 2,000 mm in 1995 to about 700 mm in 1997. Traditional November/December rains are falling as late as April/May, causing massive disruptions in planting cycles and crop yield.
The effect of two anomalous weather conditions caused by El Niño, drought and unseasonable rains, has caused the traditionally rice rich Province of South Sulawesi to suffer a drop in crop output in both the most fertile and less fertile districts. According to the March 1998 World Bank Report, the 1997 rice crop in Indonesia was smaller than 1996. In South Sulawesi there was a 4% drop in total paddy yield in 1997 and a predicted additional 5% drop for 1998.
The Indonesia Central Bureau of Statistics announced that Indonesia's un-husked rice output dropped by 3.62 percent from 51.1 million in 1996 to 49.25 million tons in 1997, and total area under cultivation in Indonesia was reduced by 4.3% from 11.57 million to 11.07 million.
Based on CWS assessment information and Government of Indonesia (GoI) Ministry of Agriculture estimates 10.2% of paddy area planted in South Sulawesi was completely ruined and an additional 4% has far lower yield in 1997. The limited rains that have fallen since the beginning of the year have been more disruptive than helpful. Usually the rains fall in a gradual manner. These rains have been abrupt and forceful with much of the water unable to be absorbed by the land due the excessive runoff. Many farmers interviewed had not planted in the past two to three weeks. Those who had planted can not expect a harvest until August or September. Most farmers are afraid to plant during this unseasonable rainfall because their crops might not survive or be productive, and they want to save their resources in hope of a good November/December planting.
In addition to suffering a major drought, Indonesia's economic crisis has caused the price of staples to double in price over a one-year period. One year ago the price of one kilo of rice in South Sulawesi was between 700-800 rupiah. Today, the price is about 2,000 rupiah. The inflation of food prices has severely effected the poor and marginalized populations. Statistics collected prior to the current economic crisis and drought indicated that, in Tana Toraja, 40% or more of the population were living below the poverty line in 3 out of 8 sub-districts (the Government of Indonesia uses "one meal per day" as one of several criteria for measuring poverty line). Nearly 25% of the entire population in the district was below the poverty line and another 51.52% were at risk of falling below the poverty line. This demonstrated the potentially devastating effects of the crisis on food security for this area.
The situation in Sulawesi in general, and South Sulawesi in particular, is serious, with certain areas on the island experiencing food security disaster conditions.
The table below is a sample of the most effected villages in the sub-districts surveyed. Information from discussions with local NGO's and officials from the CARE South Sulawesi field office, supported by GoI (Family planning office) statistics, indicate that there are villages in every district in South Sulawesi at risk of food security disaster.
Paddy Area under cultivation affected by Drought Situation 1997
Population Identified by GoI Family Planning as "under poverty line"
Population Identified as Seriously Drought Affected
477,164
87,5677
Tinemba*
* Although CWS were not able to assess the situation in Central and Southeast Sulawesi, information from the World Bank report, national media, CWS local partners and local GoI statistics indicate that the situation is worse there due to the dispersion of population, relative inaccessibility and difficult terrain. Estimated beneficiary numbers are based on interviews and reports conducted by CWS. CWS will complete a more detailed survey of these areas in order to determine the exact needs of the population there.
** The Polmas District has one of the largest numbers of people below the poverty line and is at risk. CWS could not perform a detailed assessment of the district, but obtained solid data on the number of people in need from interviews and reports on the area. All the evidence suggests that there is urgent need for immediate aid intervention on the island of Sulawesi.
Background and current situation - South Central Timor (ACT/YAO)
This is the third time in eight years that drought and flooding has caused hardship and suffering to the people of the costal area of the South Beach of South Central Timor Area. In 1991, high rainfall created severe flooding and erosion. Basic food crops were destroyed and the harvest failed. Animals and saleable produce, as an alternative income, were also under threat. In 1993, there was a long dry season with only a little rainfall. All crops were destroyed. Gardens which were replanted several times failed, and there was no harvest.
The 1993 disaster has recurred in 1997/98. The changes in climate since 1991 have severely damaged harvests and the people do not have reserves of food. Furthermore, they no longer have alternative sources of income from either animals or saleable produce, and they are therefore unable to buy food.
People have now resorted to eating putak flour (Icorypa elata Rozb) which is really used as fodder for cattle and pigs. This diet very much affects the health of pregnant women, mothers who are breast feeding, and children. The situation is worsening.
According to the weather forecasts, after the El-Niño disaster there will be a La-Nina disaster. If this forecast eventuates the people's situation will become even worse in 1998/99. In addition, the situation has been made worse with the unstable economic situation. The continuing monetary crisis has raised the prices for main food products so high that the people cannot buy them.
In the present situation there are 8 villages with about 10,000 people (2,000 families) that have been affected by this disaster in 1997/98.
IV. GOAL And OBJECTIVES
ACT/CWS/CCI proposes to address the situation in both Central and South Sulawesi through a comprehensive program of Food for Work. This program will address the need of communities in distress by:
increasing food available through importation of rice until the next harvest;
ensuring that children under 5 and lactating mothers do not fall into a state of severe malnourishment and
strengthening rural infrastructure related to food security including access to markets, roads and bridges, irrigation and access to potable water.
CWS/CCI's primary intervention strategy will be Food for Work (FFW) projects targeting the most severely drought-affected villages. CWS/CCI will, together with the Churches of Tana Toraja, and the Church of Central Sulawesi, work together to facilitate the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of the community based public works projects.
Food for Work projects will include the following types of activities:
road/bridge repair,
water conservation engineering,
construction of water catchment systems,
tree planting and
The proposed grain ration of rice will provide approximately 45% of the total caloric needs for a family of five:
Ration (Rice)
One able-bodied household member per family
2 kg/person/day x 20 work days/month = 40 kg/month
A seeds and tools distribution project will also be implemented that will target 2,500 families, approximately 1/3 of the total number of beneficiary families. This intervention is planned to reduce the people's dependency on foreign aid and facilitate the return to previous production. 12,500 beneficiaries will receive seeds and tools as part of this program.
ACT/YAO aims to alleviate the suffering of the people in 8 villages who have been most affected by the drought, and to rehabilitate the environment by soil conservation.
For the short term, the activities to be implemented will be through a food for work program and will consist of the clearing of fields, making fences, and by giving a daily remuneration. For the long term, there will be repairing of irrigation channels, attempts at stopping erosion, establishing water sources, and agro-forestry. It is hoped that the productivity of the fields can be improved for sustainable agriculture.
In addition it is planned to provide some nutritional packages for babies, pregnant women and lactating mothers, along with a health service.
V. APPEAL BENEFICIARIES
ACT/CWS/CCI: the total number of beneficiaries to be reached by the program will be 49,812.
37,312 beneficiaries will be targeted per month through the Food for Work projects
12,500 beneficiaries will receive seeds and tools in a one-time distribution.
The initial focus will be on the 24,000 beneficiaries identified by the assessment team that reside in South Sulawesi, the most populous province on the Island. This population lives in approximately 17 villages in four districts. Takalar, Jeneponto, Tana Toraja, Polmas.
7,812 beneficiaries will be targeted in two districts in Central Sulawesi. Tinemba has been identified as one of the districts while the second one is still to be determined.
5,000 beneficiaries will be targeted in Southeast Sulawesi for food aid in two districts. Kendari is one district and the other has yet to be determined.
ACT/YAO: the target community to receive the benefits directly from these activities will be 2,000 heads of families (10,000 people). They are the community members of 8 villages - Noemuke, Naip, Kiufatu, Tuafanu, Toineke, Oebelo, Oehani and Taus in the coastal district of the South Beach, South Central Timor Area.
The beneficiaries targetted are the people who have directly experienced the drought and do not have an alternative source of income for sustaining life. They will be people whose harvests have failed, and who are far from the health services, such as community health centres or branch community health centres, and whose land is more than 50% in a critical condition.
VI. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING, REPORTING
ACT/CWS/CCI: CWS management staff and consultants will carry out monitoring and evaluation of the project work using accepted guidelines. At the completion of the project a financial audit will be carried out by an outside firm.
ACT/YAO: Project administration will be carried out by Yayasan Alfa Omega and the Director of GMIT will be responsible for the project.
There will also be a local committee consisting of 5 people and who are local village government, religious and cultural leaders, and 5 trained motivators or cadres living in the location of the activities. The tasks of the local committee, along with the task force will be to prepare community members, assist in the implementation of activities, and carry out monitoring and evaluation.
Monitoring of the project will be carried out three times, at the beginning, middle and end of the project activities under the responsibility of the project implementor.
VII. IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE
ACT/CWS/CCI: This is a proposed program for 12 months. Optimally the program will commence July 1, 1998 and run until June 30, 1999, in order to meet the immediate needs of the most vulnerable populations. All indications show that the most vulnerable populations will be at highest risk from now until the annual November and December planting season, and continue to be at risk until the harvest in April 1999.
The other criteria for determining the time frame could also include:
continued drop in rain fall,
continued rain fall during non-traditional planting months,
nutritional status and
These factors have to be monitored in order to see if the proposed interventions are adequate.
ACT/YAO:
July 1998 - gather information, decide on village priorities and write up and submit a proposal.
August 1998 - co-ordination meeting with local committees and division of roles, responsibility, social preparation, decision on timetable of activities with community members.
September 1998 to April 1999 - preparation of materials for supporting activities, approaching local public health centre and tractor owners, implementation of activities - cleaning locations, making fences, ploughing fields, planting turi seeds, distribution of nutrition packages and health service, monitoring.
May 1999 - evaluation of activities, activity reports and audit.
VIII. CO-ORDINATION
ACT/CWS/CCI: Every effort will be made to co-ordinate activities with other NGO's such as CRS, CARE, WFP, and others as well as UN Organizations. This will be done through participation in the drought coordination committee to avoid overlap and duplication. There is also a local NGO Forum. This "network" was set up in order to comply with the Indonesian Government's requirements that such projects be implemented by local non-governmental organisations. The church is not recognised as an NGO, therefore, the churches formed their own local NGOs which are registered with the Government Department of Social Welfare as local NGOs. CWS is working in South Sulawesi with local partners, and has contacts with the local GO community as well as local religious communities. The local churches will be fully integrated into the implementation of the project, and have already given invaluable advice and help with the initial situation assessment. There are many church members already involved in the field who are unparalleled in their knowledge of the people and area. "Village motivators" who have received training in basic rural development skills and have returned to their villages will be an important source of information, and can probably be involved in the implementation of food-for-work activities.
ACT/YAO: From the beginning and throughout the program, those taking part will be village government, religious and cultural leaders, cadres or motivators and community members in the districts to receive moral support and guidance.

"Setting the record straight on 'partners and marriage' " in this week's issue of the MANILA MAIL (Feb. 4-10, 2015; page A7)
Posted on February 7, 2015 by Blesilda Carmona-De La Rosa
For the week of Feb. 4-10, 2015
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON "PARTNERS AND MARRIAGE"
With Valentine's Day almost close at hand, please join me in rehashing an old love story – the story of how an urban legend of sorts came to be, and how we will finally put it to rest. You see, this story began nearly 18 years ago in the nooks and crannies of Metro Manila, back when the internet was not yet as sophisticated as it is now and when the rules are just beginning to be laid down.
"Partners and Marriage" was apparently an essay that was circulated via email around 1997. Its practical yet poetic content spoke to the hearts and minds of so many readers. If you use http://www.goodsearch.com and type in "partners and marriage and Calasanz," click on the top result, lesturla.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/partners-and-marriage, and you will be taken to the introduction, the "background of the story," the essay, and then the "rectification" by Mr. Calasanz. According to the blog owner, this essay is "for those in a relationship, wanting to be in a relationship, those who just got out of a relationship, or want to get out of one, even those who are in an "it's complicated" status, you'll definitely see more clearly by reading this."
Before the blog proceeds with the essay, here's the urban legend part. It states that Eduardo Calasanz was a student at the Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines, a higher learning institution run by the Jesuits. He had a so-called Father Ferriols as a professor, who, apart from being the Philosophy department head at that time, was also known to be popular for his mind-opening classes yet notorious for the grades he gives. Despite Father Ferriols' notoriety, students still took his classes for the learning and deep insight they take home with them every day, but they may grumble about not being able to do something about the grades he gives. Ateneo has a letter-grading system with A being the highest, D the lowest, and F for flunk. When grade-giving time came, Father Ferriols apparently had this long discussion with the Admissions and Records people because according to the legend, he wanted to give Calasanz an A+. Either that or he does not teach at all. Calasanz got his A+.
What follows in that blog is the essay itself which you can read in its entirety through the link I mentioned earlier. Here is how it starts: "I have never met a man who didn't want to be loved. But I have seldom met a man who didn't fear marriage. Something about the closure seems constricting, not enabling. Marriage seems easier to understand for what it cuts out of our lives than for what it makes possible within our lives." The essay goes on to make several key points: the importance of choosing one's partner well, being long-time friends first before realizing the attraction to each other, laughter as an indicator of how much two people would enjoy each other's company in the long run, or the importance of looking for a partner who deals with the world in a way one respects. The way the writer crafted this essay, you'd find yourself nodding your head in agreement with most of his insightful statements.
But you know what the biggest clincher was? It was not even written by Mr. Eduardo Calasanz, to whom it is attributed. To be fair to Mr. Calasanz, who at the time of his rectification was himself already an assistant professor of Philosophy at the Ateneo, he did say that he was not the author of the essay, which he received sometime in 1997. He liked the article so much that he forwarded it to a lot of people. He noticed that it did not carry a byline but nobody claimed ownership. The forwarded essay assumed a life of its own until according to Calasanz, the "bio sketch" about Father Ferriols and his A+ grade was appended to the piece. According to Calasanz, this was pure urban legend! Then a friend of a former student of his informed him that the source of "Partners and Marriage" is a book called "Letters To My Son: A Father's Wisdom on Manhood, Life, and Love" by Kent Nerburn. "Partners and Marriage" was actually Chapter 26 of this book, originally published in 1994 and then it went back in print two years ago.
I am here to confirm to you the truth of the preceding statements. As I write this, an actual copy of the book "Letters To My Son" by Kent Nerburn lies beside my work desk, borrowed from La Sierra University via that trusty interlibrary network Link+. If you Goodsearch Kent Nerburn, you will find that he has authored many nonfiction works of superior quality that have an accessible vein. His academic background is impressive and he was a renowned sculptor first before he was a prolific multi-awarded writer. As I read through chapter after chapter of "Letters To My Son," I reflect upon the universal sentiments in Nerburn's words. We can all learn from him through these epistles to a son he obviously loves so much that he wants to guide the child/man's growth with his words of hard-won wisdom. The book, of course, is not just for "sons" – it could be a life manual for individuals and families looking for sound values to guide their choices in life.
So in this pre-Valentine column, honoring the Mercury retrograde inspiration to review, recount, and revise, we have just revisited several things that Mercury rules: communication, the written word, emails, and the Internet, among others. We have corrected an inaccurate perception in the interests of accuracy and proper attribution. I encourage you to read, if not the whole book, then at least the chapter on "Partners and Marriage." We may be at different stages on the spectrum of commitment or relationships, but the commonality is that we are all in the midst of precious experiences that define our humanity. I pray for our collective growth in love.

term_painter - Rust
term-painter-0.3.0
term-painter 0.3.0
32.76% of the crate is documented
Crate term_painter
See all term_painter's items
[−][src]Crate term_painter
This is a crate for coloring and formatting terminal output. Simple example:
extern crate term_painter;
use term_painter::ToStyle;
use term_painter::Color::*;
use term_painter::Attr::*;
println!("{} or {} or {}",
Red.paint("Red"),
Bold.paint("Bold"),
Red.bold().paint("Both!")
This crate uses rust-lang/term to do the formatting. Of course, you can use term directly, but it's kinda clumsy. Hence this library.
Use this style to "paint" something and get a Painted object
To create a style a startpoint is needed: This can either be a startpoint with an attached modifier (like Red: modifies the fg-color) or the Plain startpoint, which does not modify anything. After that, the startpoint can be modified with modifiers like bold() or fg().
// These two are equivalent: nothing is formatted/painted
println!("{} | {}", x, Plain.paint(x));
// These two are equivalent, too
println!("{} | {}", Red.paint(x), Plain.fg(Red).paint(x));
You can chain as many modifiers as you want. Every modifier overrides preceding modifier:
// blue, not red
println!("{}", Plain.fg(Red).fg(Blue).paint("Apple"));
After building the style, you can use it in two different ways.
One way is to call paint to use it on some object. paint will return the wrapper object Painted that holds your object and the specified style. Painted implements any formatting trait (like Display and Debug) if and only if the type of the given Object, T, does. So a Painted object can be printed via println! or similar macros. When it gets printed, it will apply the given style before printing the object of type T and will reset the style after printing.
Note: paint will consume the passed object. This is no problem when passing constant literals (like paint("cheesecake")) or types that are Copy. Otherwise it could be confusing because just printing should not consume a variable. To prevent consuming, just pass a reference to the object (with &). Example:
let non_copy = "cake".to_string(); // String is *not* Copy
let copy = 27; // i32 *is* Copy
println!("{}", Plain.paint(&non_copy));
println!("{}", Plain.paint(©));
// non_copy is still usable here...
// copy is still usable here...
println!("{}", Plain.paint(non_copy));
println!("{}", Plain.paint(copy));
// non_copy was moved into `paint`, so it not usable anymore...
Another way is to call with. with takes another function (usually a closure) and everything that is printed within that closure is formatted with the given style. Specifically, with() sets the given style, calls the given function and resets the style afterwards. It can be chained and used together with paint(). Inner calls will overwrite outer calls of with.
Red.with(|| {
print!("JustRed");
Bold.with(|| {
print!(" BoldRed {} BoldRed ", Underline.paint("Underline"));
print!("JustRed ");
print!("{}", Blue.paint("Blue (overwrite) "));
Green.with(|| {
println!("Green (overwrite)");
If you don't want to pollute your namespace with Color and Attr names, you can use a more qualified name (Color::Red.paint(..)) and remove these use statements:
Please note that global state is changed when printing a Painted object. This means that some state is set before and reset after printing. This means that, for example, using this library in format! or write! won't work. The color formatting is not stored in the resulting string. Although Unix terminals do modify color and formatting by printing special control characters, Windows and others do not. This library uses the plattform independent library term, thus saving formatted text in a string not possible. This was a design choice.
This crate also assumes that the terminal state is not altered by anything else. Calling term function directly might result in strange behaviour. This is due to the fact that one can not read the current terminal state. In order to work like this, this crate needs to track terminal state itself. However, there shouldn't be any problems when the terminal state is completely reset in between using those two different methods.
Another possible source of confusion might be multithreading. Terminal state and handles are hold in thread local variables. If two terminal handles would reference the same physical terminal, those two threads could interfere with each other. I have not tested it, though. Usually, you don't want to print to the same Terminal in two threads simultanously anyway.
Functions of term sometimes return a Result that is Err when the function fails to set the state. However, this crate silently ignores those failures. To check the capabilities of the terminal, use term directly.
Wraps an object of type T and a style. When attempting to print it, the given style is applied before printing and reset afterwards. All formatting traits (Display, Debug, ...) that are implemented for T are also implemented the wrapper type Painted<T>.
Saves all properties of a style. Implements ToStyle, so you can call style modifiers on it.
Lists possible attributes. It implements ToStyle so it's possible to call ToStyle's methods directly on a Attr variant like:
Lists all possible Colors. It implements ToStyle so it's possible to call ToStyle's methods directly on a Color variant like:
Everything that can be seen as part of a style. This is the core of this crate. All functions ("style modifier") consume self and return a modified version of the style.

A Day at the Dallas Zoo : Waddling Penguins, Cute Koalas and Feeding Giraffes • Outside Suburbia
A Day at the Dallas Zoo : Waddling Penguins, Cute Koalas and Feeding Giraffes
Posted on June 7, 2017 June 9, 2017 AuthorPriya Vin5 Comments
With summer break in full swing and two littles visiting from India, we decided to take them to the Dallas Zoo to explore, thousands of animals to visit, and a huge variety of family activities, at 106 acres Dallas Zoo is enormously entertaining! There are plenty of opportunities to learn about interesting wildlife, engage in interactive fun all the while support worldwide conservation and research to protect and preserve endangered species. Getting to the Zoo from Plano was easy, not wanting to struggle with traffic, we opted to take the DART RED LINE to the Dallas Zoo Station. The ride was about an hour from the Plano Parker station and the bright yellow train dropped us of, yards away from the Zoo entrance.
Fun facts about this Dallas Zoo
Endangered Species Carousel and T-Rex Express
Adventure Safari Monorail
Marsupials at the Australian Outpost
Eating and Feed the Giraffe at the Zoo
The Zoo is divided into ZooNorth and Wilds of Africa and is separated by a tunnel.
The Zoo provides and cares for a wide variety of animals and are involved in conservation and breeding programs for numerous endangered species.
The Dallas Zoo is widely recognized for the new Simmons Hippo Outpost, the Giants of the Savanna exhibit, the Lacerte Family Children's Zoo, the Wilds of Africa where you can experience the Wilds of Africa Adventure Safari, and the Jake L. Hamon Gorilla Conservation Research Center.
Our first stop was at the Dallas Zoo's Endangered Species Carousel is a custom-made merry-go-round featuring hand-crafted exotic animals plus a spinning bird's nest. We loved riding the lion before going to look for the lion at the Zoo. There is also a kid-sized, all-electric trackless train T-Rex Express, that is decorated with animal graphics and equipped with a smoke machine and sound effects as it winds its way around Picnic Ridge in ZooNorth.
Wilds of Africa Adventure Safari, is a monorail you can embark on for a birds-eye view of five African habitats not accessible by foot: the mountains of Ethiopia, the woodlands of Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, the arid Saharan Desert, and the bush of the Serengeti in Tanzania. The trains ease along at 3-4 mph on a one-mile loop around the back side of zoo. You can see the Simmons Hippo Outpost, Chimpanzee Forest, crocodile pond and Penguin Cove from above, ride through a rushing waterfall, and view species from across the continent of Africa, including nyala, gerenuk, lesser kudu, ibex, oryx, eland, vultures, storks, addax, bongo, red river hogs, and more. While on safari, zoo specialists serve as your guide, describing the animals, habitats and conservation efforts being taken to preserve these remarkable species.
The colorful blue-and-gold macaw is a social bird with a high level of intelligence and ability to learn behaviors.
Koalas native to Southeastern and Eastern Australia have been commonly mistaken for being part of the bear group, but they actually are marsupials. Just like the kangaroo, koalas have a pouch for keeping their young safe until they are ready for the outside world. Gummy and Tekin, both males, spend most of their time, as do koalas in the wild, dozing in a eucalyptus tree. These cute Koalas can be found at the Australian Outpost in addition to the Gray Kangaroos, emus, lorikeets and kookaburras. The kangaroo can hop on its large feet, using its powerful hind legs and large muscular tail to help it stay balanced. These features allow the kangaroo to reach speeds of up to 40 mph and leap up to 30 feet. Don't miss the new kookaburras in front of the kangaroo, wallaby, and emu habitat. Named for the raucous laughing noise they make. Across from the koala habitat, you can visit Lorikeet Landing and feed Australasian parrots a cup of nectar.
Flamingos native to Caribbean, southern United States, Mexico, South America, and Galápagos get their pink coloring from the food they eat. The pink coloration you see comes from a protein called carotene, which can be found in the small crustaceans and other types of plankton they eat. Flamingos eat by sweeping their heads back and forth in the water. They filter out food that is in the water with their highly specialized bills. The Dallas Zoo has the Caribbean Flamingos in the ZooNorth and the Lesser Flamingos which are little pale and native to Africa, Middle East, and India in the Wilds of Africa.
The Dallas Zoo's Giants of the Savanna habitat, open since May 2010, provides an interactive experience for guests built around the many different species of animals that call the savanna home. You can see elephants, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, lions, warthogs, red river hogs, guinea fowl, and cheetahs here. Kids can learn more about these animals with interactive exhibits at the Simmons Safari Base Camp.
African Penguin are native to South Africa and Nambia. Unlike their cold-weather relatives, these African penguins live along the coast of Africa where the weather is mild. If you look closely, you will see that our penguins are covered in tiny feathers that help keep their skin dry and streamlined as they zip through the cool water. A dip in a pool is a great way to keep cool for tropical penguins and they have just that at the Dallas Zoo for these darling penguins! We saw more than a dozen waddling, splashing and sunbathing African penguins at the Zoo and needless to say I spent most of my time admiring and snapping pictures of them.
Over the past 100 years, the population of African penguins has declined from more than two million breeding pairs to slightly more than 20,000 breeding pairs left. This dramatic decline has resulted from many factors, unfortunately all of which are human-related. Recently, organizations in South Africa have tried to develop an artificial nest that African penguins could use to supplement the little remaining nesting habitat. The Dallas Zoo is involved in the efforts to save these remarkable birds, a portion of the ticket sales goes towards the cause.
Wonders of the Wild presented an interactive 20-minute wildlife show featuring birds and mammals from all over the world at the Wildlife Amphitheater in ZooNorth. Grab a seat in benches made out of milk jugs (and remember to recycle at the zoo and at home), and watch in awe as African crowned cranes, hawks, owls and eagles soar right over your heads. See a trumpeter hornbill nab a grape out of midair. And while those birds are incredible flying through the air, don't miss the acrobatics of the waddling African penguins.
In addition to seeing an learning about the animals from around the world, you can see some amazing animals that live right here in Texas. You can spot Blue Jays feeding on acorns near the parks and wooded areas and also see wildcats that live in Texas at the Cat Row – ocelots, bobcats and mountain lions. We saw the Great Horned owl at the Wonders of the Wild show – Did you know this owl that can be found all over the state can turn its heard 3/4 of the way and has a wingspan of up to 5 feet!
From packing a picnic to food stands to the three restaurants there are the a wide variety of dining options at the zoo. Our favorite was the Serengeti Grill where you can eat with the lions in the Giants of the Savanna, not literally though! You can peer into the lions' den through the floor-to-ceiling observation window while you're dining on burgers and fries. An outdoor seating area overlooks the elephants in the Giants of the Savanna. Yards away if the station where you can feed giraffes from a platform at the Diane and Hal Brierley Giraffe Ridge.
There was so much to see and learn at the Dallas Zoo! On the ride back on the Dart, the kids wouldn't stop talking about the animal encounters! We were guests of the Dallas Zoo but as always, the opinions and images are our own.

This sounds like an amazing adventure for kids. I have many good memories going to the zoo when I was a kid. It us so good that some if the animals are involved in conservation and breeding programs. It sounds like a big variety if species. I would definitely love to see the Texas natives which would be the ones that I have never seen before
Oh wow, I had no idea the Dallas Zoo was so great! I've heard of the San Diego Zoo, but it's nice to know there are other good options in the US. I love that you can feed the giraffes. So cute!
The Dallas Zoo would definitely be a stop for us when we finally visit one day soon. My daughter will love the Giraffe feeding and surely stay for hours watching the antics of all the zoo residence.
What a fun day at the zoo! It must be so fun for the kids to get close encounters with the animals. The penguins and koalas are adorable!
Wow, great days in the dallas zoo, I love the train and carousel and other attraction you have ride.

FreeState Plus : New York Times: Video: State of The Union GOP Response: Full Speech: 2/12/2013: Not Ready For Prime Time
New York Times: Video: State of The Union GOP Response: Full Speech: 2/12/2013: Not Ready For Prime Time
Before I get too far into this speech too far I just want to say first that I like and respect Senator Marco Rubio. Who to me at least not all by himself represents the best of the future of the Republican Party and represents its best hope of once again becoming a real. Conservative Party that can broaden its base past the Bible Belt and rural America and non Caucasian voters. But just on style alone Senator Rubio failed tonight, the whole water episode. Reaching for a sip of water while on live TV having all day to prepare for this speech other then to vote. On the Violence Against Women's Act and that was really probably it as far as what he had to do. Today so he knew how long he was going to speak tonight and had the time to make sure his mouth was moist. And so fourth and not to get dry in the middle of what was only a fifteen minute speech. The good news for the Senator was the the prime time game was already over and most of the country. Probably went to bed before the late local news which is really about all of the audience Senator Rubio had tonight. And yours truly political junkies.
But again this is a current affairs blog where I value substance and intelligence over style and ignorance. So one paragraph on why Senator Rubio's water episode is enough but his facts weren't very good either. President Obama is not trying to cut Medicare or grow the size of the Federal Government but to reform both and make them both more efficient as well as better. Which will make the Federal Government actually smaller and we heard the President's agenda tonight. Where's the Republican Party's, how are Congressional Republicans going to respond to President Obama. What's the Republican game plan and since Senator Rubio is a rising star in the Republican Party as well as Congress. And I'm sure in on these things, I was kinda hoping we would here that from him. But its not really his fault since Republicans are divided between the House and Senate and not sure who should take the lead. And how to counter the President whose approval and agenda are up.
I'm not trying to make Marco Rubio sound empty headed or anything because he's a good intelligent man. With a bright future if he avoids the Pat Robertson Christian Coalition church of politics but his speech tonight sounded like a classic Mitt Romney stump speech. Of speaking in values and goals without having a plan and policies to achieve those and I don't believe. He was very effective as far as his future or for the Republican Party tonight.

309 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K188 BATAVIA, 8 November 1948, 10.30 a.m.SECRET
My telegram K 186.
Stikker did not return to Djokjakarta yesterday morning and his party was withdrawn in protest against the submission of Republican reply (see my telegram K 187). The Dutch say this reply should have been discussed with their representatives in Kaliurang.
2. Cochran discussed the Republican reply with me before transmitting it to the Netherlands Delegation. We agreed that it was reasonable and that its delivery should not complicate matters. Even allowing for Dutch super-sensitiveness it may be assumed that the real Dutch objections were either to the concessions Stikker made in his informal talks or to the prospect of resuming formal negotiations on the basis of the Cochran plan.
3. Stikker was reasonable about the Republican reply and it was soon apparent that Beel was at the bottom of this afternoon's trouble. Beel claimed his Government has been insulted and directed the breaking off of negotiations. This suggests that the Crown Commissioner does not relish the possibility of a reduction in his authority. Cochran has informed me most confidentially that he sought an interview with Beel in which he accused him of endeavouring to break down negotiations on a trifling excuse and said that if this happened he would cable his Government to confirm that there were sections here seeking another police action.
4. As a result of Cochran's unrestricted and favourable reports from Stikker's party the Dutch have withdrawn their objections to the resumption of negotiations. The party will return to Djokjakarta to-day to continue discussions which are said to be progressing favourably but Stikker himself has explained that politically it is impossible for him to return. However, he will not go back to The Hague before Wednesday and may stay here a day or two longer.
5. Stikker has accepted Hatta's explanation that the letter was prepared and signed prior to the arrival of Stikker's party in Republican territory, that transport difficulties explain the delay in its submission, and that Hatta did not give the letter further thought after signing it. [1]
1 When Cochran presented the Netherlands Delegation's letter of 28 October (see Document 289) to the Republican Government on 30 October he told Hatta that the Netherlands Delegation did not expect a reply to the letter until the Hatta-Stikker discussions, which commenced on 4 November, had concluded. Although Hatta seems to have agreed to delay the Republican reply, Roem quickly drafted a reply on 3 November and passed it to Cochran on 6 November (see Document 308).

Sean P. Sullivan - Washington Wine Report: Locati Cellars (WWSR 2010)
Locati Cellars is a new Walla Walla winery which opened in December of 2009. The winery, named after owners Michael and Penny Locati, focuses on Italian varietals. Locati's tasting room is located in The Depot building right off Highway 12 in Walla Walla.
While Locati has sourced fruit for its initial offerings, the winery has a thirty-seven acre estate vineyard, nine of which are currently planted to Barbera and Sangiovese. The vineyard is now in its third leaf.
Locati's initial offerings have been made by consulting winemakers.
Locati Cellars makes 1,000 cases annually.
Note: This article was revised after publication due to inaccuracies regarding the size and plantings of the estate vineyard as well as the winery's future plans for the position of winemaker. See the comment thread.
Locati Cellars Sangiovese Columbia Valley 2006 $26
Rating: * (Excellent) Earth, pepper, red currant, and cranberry on an aromatic wine that also shows a bit of baker's chocolate. Zippy acidity with a lot of cranberry flavors on a somewhat puckering palate. 100% Sangiovese. Candy Mountain.
Locati Cellars Innovation Columbia Valley 2007 $25
Rating: + (Good) Light in color. Bright and fruit filled with cranberries, red cherries, a touch of earth, and some candied aromas. Tart with rich chocolate flavors and cranberry fruit on the palate. An enjoyable, clean wine. 54% Barbera (Lonesome Springs Vineyard), 33% Cabernet Sauvignon (Goose Ridge), and 13% Sangiovese (Candy Mountain).
Locati Cellars Barbera Columbia Valley 2006 $26
Rating: + (Good) Bright, candied red fruit and red currant along with black tea. A very tart palate that shows lots of cranberry flavors. Lonesome Springs Vineyard.

You might want to check on your sources, some of the info in this article is incorrect. I've read your articles for some time and have learned a great deal through your posts, but sadly this article contains errors. Specifically on the vineyard varietals and consulting winemaker.
Anon, thanks for the heads up. I aim to provide accurate information, so this concerns me.
Can you be more specific regarding the vineyard varietal inaccuracies? Was this the varietals planted at the estate vineyard or the vineyard sources referenced in the tasting notes?
Regarding an inaccuracy regarding the wines being made by a consulting winemaker, I have additional information about who started and finished these wines but did not include it as I was unable to receive confirmation from the winery that this information was public. For this reason, I made the information in the piece more generic.
Feel free to email me at [email protected] if it's easier to discuss and I will make appropriate changes. Thanks again.

Swiss haunted by memories of 2006 after dismal exit | Daily Mail Online
Published: 01:46 EDT, 4 July 2018 | Updated: 01:46 EDT, 4 July 2018
ST PETERSBURG, July 4 (Reuters) - Switzerland were supposed to have progressed from the side who were involved in one of the worst matches in World Cup history yet have departed Russia with a performance almost as bad as the infamous game 12 years ago.
But the end result, a second round exit, was almost the same as in 2006 when Switzerland went out on penalties after a dire 0-0 draw with Ukraine -- a match that invariably pops up in any discussion about the World Cup's all-time low points.

Credit line for BelNPP construction opened until 2035 | BELNPP: NEWS FROM CONSTRUCTION SITE | NPP Belarus – Nuclear power industry – News Belarus – Technologies - BelTA
MINSK, 11 April (BelTA) – The credit line for the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant has been opened until 2035, Belarus' Deputy Energy Minister Mikhail Mikhadyuk said in an interview to the Lithuanian TV and radio broadcasting company LRT, BelTA has learned.
Before taking the Russian loan for the construction of the nuclear power plant, the Belarusian Energy Ministry, together with the Finance Ministry, calculated the possibilities of returning it.
"Over the past few years, $10 billion has been invested in the Belarusian energy system. Thanks to this, we have developed the most efficient energy sector in the post-Soviet space and provide timely payments on the loans raised for the work," said Mikhail Mikhadyuk. The credit line [for the construction of the BelNPP] has been opened until 2035, and we have assessed our potential," he added.
The deputy minister explained that it is too early to speak about the final amount of the loan for the construction of the nuclear power plant. "We have a loan of up to $10 billion, and it covers 90% of the cost of the contracts to build the facility. Belarus needs to invest the rest. The real cost of the station is determined by the concrete costs for its construction, which are financed from the abovementioned sources on the basis of the corresponding documents. We calculate each ruble invested in the construction. We control the expenditure of funds, so that there were no unnecessary, unreasonable payments and expenses, exceeded prices for equipment. We monitor the cost of similar equipment around the world and do not purchase it at the highest price. Good reliable equipment is purchased," Mikhail Mikhadyuk said.

The two Tunisian scholars Ons and Chaima helped implement a cyber safety training program for students at a High School in Florida. They did this through the Cyber Security Club at Valencia College, where they were both studying information technology during the 2017-2018 academic year.
Ons and Chaima trained third- and fourth-grade students on how to safely use the internet and how to best protect themselves from online scams, bullying, and other threats. The sessions included how to identify potential online risks, how to protect personal information, how to use security settings in social media and online gaming platforms, and how to talk to parents and teachers about online experiences.
By training American elementary school students, Ons and Chaima gained valuable communication skills, time-management skills, and teamwork skills. Ons explained, “Working with young students requires a lot of patience and a close attention to details. The entire training program was a great learning opportunity for all of us. We had to work together as a team, as well as communicate professionally with each other, the teachers, and the students.”
During the spring 2018 semester as a Tunisia scholar, Arij, an environmental science exchange student studying at the University of Wisconsin joined an initiative called DigiGirlz.
DigiGirlz is a Microsoft YouthSpark program. It gives middle and high school girls opportunities to learn about careers in technology, connect with Microsoft employees, and participate in hands-on computer and technology workshops.
Arij’s work involved leading a group of girls to build an app development challenge. Arij used the program to enhance her skills in mobile and app development. She also used online games and other technologies to teach local youth about important environmental issues like climate change.
“Working with such a diverse group of local youth on science and technology-related programs was one of my best experiences as a Thomas Jefferson Scholar,” she said.

How to Watch for Black Ice « Warm Southern Breeze
« Congress' 7 Deadly Sins
Bob Riley and Troy King: The Saga Continues »
"Black ice is certainly something to be looking for tonight, as temperatures [are] getting down into the lower twenties."
– Alan Raymond, WHNT-TV ch19 weatherman, 6PM news cast wrap-up, Saturday, 30 January 2010, Huntsville, AL
By definition, "black ice," is "nearly invisible," or "invisible" and therefore not readily seen… if at all.
Perhaps a better question would be "can one watch for the invisible in the dark?" Would that be like looking at your hand in front of your nose in a cave?
I'm glad I don't rely on teevee's talking heads for information.

Health Care Renewal: The Best Governance for Medicines ... is in Thailand
Amen.....I say....Amen.
May 23, 2013 at 10:27:00 PM EDT
Thanks for sharing this, it's really interesting! Always good to gain a higher perspective by looking at how other countries tackle their healthcare issues. Do you think that putting priority on patients' and public's health is good enough? I would assume that people "say" their priority is patient and public health at all levels of the healthcare system. People don't necessarily come outright and say that they have trouble with "vested interests". Are we better off focusing on innovation vs. trying to change the broken and dysfunctional system through good governance?
Healthcarereforminsider.com
Putting patients' and the public's health has to be the first priority. Obviously, it is a lot easier to state that as a mission than to do it, but at least it needs to be stated.
Clearly transparency about conflicts of interests is important, and honored now mainly in the breach.
Finally, innovation, of course, does not always lead to good outcomes. And stating one is for "innovation" is even easier than stating one is for putting patients' and the public's health first.
May 24, 2013 at 1:07:00 PM EDT
Did you know that any form of publicity about a medical error is a crime in Thailand?
Did you know that most of your (accurate and incisive) postings here at "Health Care Renewal", in Thailand would put you in prison?
What should this tell us about health care quality in Thailand?
May 24, 2013 at 1:37:00 PM EDT
Anonymous of 24 May, at 1:37,
I know that there are issues about free speech in Thailand, particularly regarding any discussion of the royal family. However, I have not heard of particular problems affecting health care.
I know this blog has Thai readers, and none of said anything like what you said, to my knowledge, up to now.
I also know I was in Thailand in 2009, and gave a talk there to an agency of the Ministry of Health entitled, "Health Care Ethics, and the Role of Vested Interests and Conflicts of Interest in Health Research." The talk certainly dealt with the sort of content we publish on Health Care Renewal. The audience seemed appreciative, and no one came close to suggesting it was risky to say such things.
May 24, 2013 at 2:15:00 PM EDT
Health care discussions always strike a nerve in me. Several of my loved ones have illnesses that make it impossible for them to obtain reasonably priced healthcare. They are turned away time and time again it has shaped the way I view the issue. I hope progress can be made but it seems congress is driven to repeal obamacare. I appreciated the information about Thailand. It's important to analyze other country's health care systems. There needs to be a way to withdraw the greed of insurance companies.

Worldwake Pre-Release and More | Gamescape North
« January GRPA | Home | February Calendar Changes »
Worldwake Pre-Release and More
The new Magic set is right around the corner, and we've got a trio of great events planned for the next two weeks at Gamescape. Whether you want to run some competition before the boosters hit the street or join your friends in ripping open packs on the release day, we've got you covered. Read on for details on all three events and how you can be a part of the fun.
Worldwake Pre-Release Tournament – Sunday, January 31st @ 12:00 Noon
After the undoubted success of our first Pre-Release for Zendikar, Gamescape is pleased to be hosting another Magic: The Gathering Pre-Release Event! The second set in the Zendikar block, Worldwake, releases on Friday, February 5th. Our Pre-Release will take place one week before then on Sunday, January 31st at 12:00 noon. The format for this event will be a Sealed Tournament.
If you're interested in attending the tournament, we ask that you please sign-up ahead of time, as we have limited space for the event. You can do this in a number of ways: either by calling the store, sending an e-mail, or by dropping into the store in-person. There are 40 spaces available, so be sure to reserve yours soon! We ask also that you please arrive to the tournament by 12:00 noon in order to purchase your entry package, which will consist of three Zendikar and three Worldwake booster packs for $30.00. All registered entrants will also get a pre-release foil promo card (while supplies last) of Comet Storm.
The Sealed Tournament will consist of one flight of entrants with the goal of the event to be completed by 6pm. Prizes will be given in the form of Worldwake booster packs, promo cards, and some other nifty prize support that we have in the store. We regret that we will not be admitting players after 12:00pm SHARP, provided that there is space left on the day of the event. Please arrive as early as you can.
MTG Worldwake Release Tournament – Fri, February 5th @ 6pm
If you're not able to make the Pre-Release, we'll be holding another Release Tournament on the day that Worldwake comes out. If you're interested in attending, please arrive before 6:00pm to sign in and purchase your cards package under the same format as above. This Sealed Tournament will consist of multiple 8-person pods which will each last three rounds, with the goal of each mini-tournament to be done by 10pm. Please sign up early to ensure a spot in the tournament.
MTG Worldwake Launch Party – Sat, February 6th @ 12pm
Join us for our MTG Worldwake Launch Party on the weekend after its release! All day in the store, 12 noon to 6pm, we'll be running booster drafts and casual play. No matter what your play-style is, you'll find some options for a good day spent with the new set.
Launch Party Booster Draft
We'll be organizing a Booster Draft tournament when people arrive, preferably organized into 8-person pods. Entry will be $15 for three boosters (two Zendikar and one Worldwake), with Worldwake boosters given out as prizes according to placement, as well as foil promo cards also added in for extra prizes!
Launch Party Open Dueling
Magic players also have the option to sign up for Open Dueling. Open Dueling is an informal and flexible format ideal for new or returning Magic players. Entry fee payment ($15) will entitle you to one Intro Pack, one Open Dueling Results Card, and one special foil promo card (while supplies last) of Joraga Warcaller. After you complete five matches the organizer will reward you with one complementary Magic booster pack.
We're offering 20% off the retail price on full boxes of new Worldwake boosters if you're in our Customer Rewards system or if you sign up for our program. The points that you accrue on the purchase will also be tallied on your account. Individual boosters will remain at the standard retail price of $3.99. In addition, WotC is offering a special foil promo card of Celestial Colonnade to anyone who purchases a full box of boosters from us.

CLUTCH: chime in: setting limits
Indy, July 13, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Jennifer, July 13, 2009 at 1:54 PM
I think our church handles it great! We have a counselor/counseling ministry that partners with our church and whom we refer people to who need counseling. Our church supports his ministry financially as well as covers any of his charges, especially for our members and regular attenders. It works great for us as a smaller church, because we don't have to hire a full-time staff person to do the counseling but get the benefits of having a trained professional to refer our people to.
Just because a man is in a pastoral role does not necissarly mean he is equipped to counsel, especially on heavy issues. My husband is the associate pastor at our church and although he loves people, he will admit that he doesn't particularly enjoy counseling nor does he feel its in his giftedness and it has been really freeing for him to have that resource to send our people to.
Sarah, July 13, 2009 at 2:04 PM
My husband enjoys counseling and is gifted in that area, however, because he is not certified as a family counselor he typically focuses more on premarital counseling rather than dealing with deep-seated issues. He regularly has as many as 4 or 5 couples in weekly premarital counseling sessions, in addition to between 5 and 10 personal bible studies each week.
He does do marital or relational or personal counseling upon request, but often as a bridge to get someone started before referring them to a licensed Christian counselor who can meet their needs. This approach also protects him from potential legal issues since he is not a licensed counselor, when dealing with people who have challenging issues.
He never charges, members or non-members, and typically turns any checks or donations resulting from counseling back into the mission/evangelism fund of the church. He sees counseling as part of his call to ministry, even off-hours - since he feels that ministry is more of a constant lifestyle than a 9-5 kind of job. He feels that there's never a time when he's "off" from doing ministry.
Indy, July 13, 2009 at 2:47 PM
I feel that counseling is one of the pastoral duties our husbands have been called to fulfill especially if they are gifted in that area.
I would encourage you NOT to charge to do it...do it as an offering to the Lord.
May I suggest starting a sroup for married couples? This would be an excellent resource/tool to your husband's ministry.
dpm, July 13, 2009 at 3:00 PM
I think Sandra's question is more about setting limits moreso than, should her PH do counseling (he already does). Like anything else in ministry (and in life) there have to be boundaries and limits, otherwise, people will bleed you (physically and emotionally) dry.
I like the idea of starting a group for married couples, though some people really need the benefit of one-on-one counseling.
I suggest figuring out, on paper, how many hours he's willing to dedicate to counseling and anyone else gets referred out, either to a Christian counselor with whom the church has a partnership or a licensed counselor in the congregation that is willing to take it on as his/her ministry.
Lauren, July 13, 2009 at 3:31 PM
This is also where the church leadership has an opportunity to protect your PH from burnout and protect your family. Maybe he could mention to the leadership that this is a lot of counseling on top of his other responsibilities. They can set limits, protecting both him and the flock as a whole. While these marital issues are important and probably time-sensitive, perhaps it would be better for him either to refer or to set a maximum number of hours for counseling per week. Then if a couple comes to him a few days after the other couples, he can say, "I meet my maximum quota for time spent on counseling. The leadership and I have an agreeement, but I will be happy to refer you..." so no one looks like the bad guy.
Sandra, July 13, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Thanks for the encouragement and ideas ladies!
Anonymous, July 13, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Great question! I'll have to ask my husband for specifics, but I'm pretty certain he doesn't see anyone on a weekly basis. However, he does a LOT of counseling. If he feels a person or couple needs weekly counseling he will refer them to a local professional. Personally, my husband and I both find relief in our counseling sessions from local professionals, so we encourage people to seek help outside of the pastorate!
Anonymous, July 14, 2009 at 4:19 PM
I would agree with heartreflections answer... my husband counseling and normally he's seeing someone at some point each week, if not a few appointments but anything that is ongoing he refers, not to get out of it, but so they can receive what they need best...

Posted on January 20, 2012 | Comments Off on JFS Weekly Highlights 01/20/12
Although we have been having quite a mild winter, "snow" was seen throughout the ELC this week. The toddlers had a great time playing with the snowmen they made and had fun taking off and putting on the snowmen's clothing.
Kindergarten children finished their snowmen books and are so proud that they now know so many Hebrew words associated with winter. They are also learning all about polar bears.
"Mitteen" Math" was so much fun in our Primer class as the students learned about the numbers from thirteen to nineteen by playing a special winter game.
Stories and songs related to Parshat Va'era and the ten makot were the main focus in Nursery this week. Our Kindergarten class also made a special project depicting the ten makot, and Primer children had a great time acting out the different makot. It almost felt like Pesach, not intersession, was on its way.
Have an enjoyable and safe vacation.
As a special project for completing Sefer Breishit, Morah Auerbach's fourth grade girls created a beautiful table cloth portraying all the Parshiot of Breishit. Each student had a chance to take home the tablecloth and create a picture of the Parsha to which they were assigned. The completed table cloth is a work of art and the class proudly displays it on the wall of their classroom.
Mrs. Davis' 5th grade class did an excellent job of creating group projects based on the novel The Cricket in Times Square. The projects were very creative and unique and the students were proud to present their hard work to their classmates. In addition to the projects that were created, each group was required to answer a thought provoking question. The next novel that we will be reading is The Indian in the Cupboard and the assignment will involve making an Indian diorama.
This week we completed our "No TV Tuesday" program. This nine week program involved students in grades 1-5, and we are so pleased that so many students participated in it. Our grand prizes were digital cameras and walkie talkies, and the students could not wait to hear who would win. Mazal Tov to Leor Edri, Olivia Ansel, Ora Gutfreund, Liana Gindi, and Yael Magori for winning the grand prizes. In addition, each student in grades 1-3 who participated received special prizes. Students in grades 4 and 5 who participated will enjoy a special gym class with Coach John as well as a "make your own sundae" party.
Alumni milestones are always a tremendous source of Nachat for our school. Recently, Yeshiva of Flatbush participated in a national "Word Masters Challenge" competition for high school students that required intensive reading and analysis of many different kinds of prose and poetry. We are so proud that Yosef Zigdun, ('08), Daniel Shuster ('09) and Rebecca Burack ('10) earned outstanding scores!
Our Chessed Corner
This week our 8th grade girls' class went to pack food for Oneg Shabbos in Boro Park. This organization is responsible for meeting the needs of many poor Jewish families in Brooklyn. The girls had a wonderful and meaningful experience. "It was great to help" was the sentiment that was expressed by the girls.
Eight Grade English
"Wherefore" are the 8th graders so excited? Mrs. Siegel's class is immersed in the study of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and they are having a great time keeping the Montagues and Capulets straight in their minds.
When they are not in Verona, they are busy writing poetry and gathering quotes and pictures for their yearbook. This is an exciting time for our seniors!
Our Minyanaire Club
We are excited to launch our "Minyanaires Club". The purpose of this program is to enhance our beautiful davening. The program focuses primarily on decorum in the Beit Hakneset. All students from grades 6 -8 are eligible to become a Minyanaire. The criteria for becoming a Minyanaire include arriving on time to shul, not talking, remaining in their seats and actively participating in the Tefillot. At the conclusion of ten consecutive days, Minyanaires will be able to choose a gift card from a variety of stores. At the 30 day mark, Minyanaires will receive a catered lunch from Holy Schnitzel!
We have just concluded our first 10 day segment and we are off to a fantastic start. The following students are the first ones to join the "Minyanaires club". Mazal Tov to them!

Our Parsha Corner
By: Shai Gutfreund Grade 7
In this week's Parsha, Vaera, we see a very powerful lesson. We learn this lesson from Makat Barad. On the subject of this miraculous hail, we see that the hail was not only very large but also on fire. The water in the hail and the fire made peace between each other to fulfill Hashem's will. From this we see that even if two people can't get along with each other, they can and should work together for a common cause. Just like the hail destroyed and caused damage, when the fire and the hail worked together, they caused even greater damage.

Hats, boots and snowflakes are hanging in the Toddler classroom. The children had a great time creating these symbols of winter and identifying them in both English and Hebrew. They are also enjoying "finger" poems which are fun to recite and which help them reinforce their counting skills.
K is for kangaroo, kitchen and kite. We had so much fun making kites which are "flying" from our ceiling. Nursery also learned about Parshat Shmot, and each child made their very own baby Moshe in a basket.
Why do birds fly south in the winter? Why do bears sleep all winter long? These were some of the questions that Kindergarten discussed this week when they learned about migration and hibernation. The children were fascinated by the behaviors of these animals. In conjunction with Parshat Shmot, kindergarteners made sticks that "magically" transformed from a snake to a stick.
Songs, activities and projects about penguins kept the Primer children busy this week. They even went outside to huddle like penguins! The students were eager to begin Sefer Shmot and learn about baby Moshe. They also became familiar with many Hebrew words associated with winter.
Mazal Tov Kitah Aleph
This past Sunday, our Kitah Aleph children were thrilled to partake in their long awaited Siddur party. They worked so hard preparing for this special occasion and, with great pride and beautiful smiles, the children performed their Siddur presentation to perfection! Their family and friends sat in awe as they watched the children sing songs, recite their parts and receive their new siddurim. We would like to thank Morah Simona, Morah Hadassah, Mrs. McDermott, Mrs. Ross, Morah Adi, Morah Michal, Morah Mazal, and our very talented music teacher, Mrs. Irene Lopukhin, for their hard work and dedication. In addition, we would like to thank Mrs. Alkobi, Mrs. Ansel, Mrs. Davidson, Mrs.Goldzal, Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Masri, Mrs. Milman, Mrs. Mushnick, and Mrs. Nussenblatt, who volunteered their time and effort to help make this year's siddur party the success that it was.
A special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Abokhiyayev, owners of L'Esti's Desserts, for donating the magnificent siddur cake. The cake was admired by all of us for its beauty and taste.
SST – Fun
Last Friday students in grades 1-3 enjoyed an SST program with Morah Sheila. The theme was Hakarat Hatov, being thankful for all that we have. As we recently celebrated the chag of Chanukah, we tried to impress upon the children the importance of being thankful to everyone for all the gifts and treats that they received during the Chag. We also focused on our appreciation of all that Hashem gives us, as well as our family and teachers.
This year's theme is "We're on the ball with our Midot Tovot" and our activity was based on a soccer game. The children first ran a relay race with the goal of finding different "soccer" balls, many of which had special messages of thanks on them. If the "ball" had a message of thanks on it, the student then had the opportunity to kick a real soccer ball into a goal to earn ten extra points for their team. The students had a wonderful time playing the activity and made sure to say "thank you" to Morah Sheila for the fun filled activity and for the treats they received.
Students in 3J are busy learning the Halachot of Shmirat Halashon and are trying very hard to make sure that the words they speak are positive and constructive. As a special activity, they made special Lashon Tov buttons. They are very proud to wear these buttons and hope that they will remind them to speak nicely to their friends and family. The children learned a beautiful song about Shmirat Halashon that we video taped for your enjoyment. Click on the image below to share the Nachat!
What is made of candy and fizzes and shoots ten feet into the sky? The 6th grade "Mentos and Coke fountain"! 6th grade had some "explosive" moments learning about the chemical reactions which cause the famous fountain. The experiment was a great way to launch a unit about food chemistry and chemical bonding that students are due to begin learning soon.
The annual Israel Day Parade will take place on on Sunday, June 3. We are planning a "paint the props" night on Motzei Shabbat, March 10th . We are hoping that all parents will come join the fun as we prepare the props that will be carried by the JFS students in grades 4-8. This project will involve a tremendous amount of work, and we are kindly asking all our parents for their help. For more information, please click here to see the attached flyer.
ויאמר לרשע למה תכה רעך – שמות ב:י"ג
"And he said to the wrongdoer, Why do you strike your brother?
Shemot 2:13
The Torah forbids us to strike another Jew (Sefer HaChinuch Mitzvah 595). This negative precept is found in Devarim 23:3, where the Torah warns an officer of the court not to strike more lashes than a judge has determined to be fitting for the sinner. Now, from this injunction there is also an admonition against striking any Jewish person, for if we are commanded not to strike a sinner, how much more so should we not strike any other person.
This is very relevant because, unfortunately, students are often tempted to "hit" each other. We must learn from our Torah and how it characterizes this individual: it calls him a Rasha, a wicked person. We know this terrible appellation is usually reserved for our enemies like Haman Harasha, Paroh Harasha or Esav Harasha. Clearly, the Torah is conveying how serious this act is. Let us learn from this week's Parsha and refrain from this bad trait and act appropriately as Jews should.

Winter "slipped" in while we were enjoying Chanukah, and we are now taking the opportunity to learn all about it. The toddlers were taught about winter weather and warm clothing and they are working on projects related to this topic.
Nursery's letter of the week was the letter J. They had fun jumping, making jewelry and eating yummy Jello. This week's Parsha, Vayechi, has the famous Hamalach Hagoel passage in it and the children made special bed time pillows decorated with their pictures on them.
The winter season encourages us to think "white" and kindergarten children made their very own version of the book It Looked Like Spilt Milk. They also made a beautiful Shema project to hang in their rooms.
Primer children are also enjoying their unit on winter, especially the discussions about what snowmen can have, which is our sight word of the week. In Hebrew, they are learning the words associated with winter clothing. As Parshat Vayechi is the last Parsha of Sefer Bereishit, they are looking forward to a special siyum this Friday.
A pajama party in school? In honor of this week's Parsha, the entire ELC participated in a fun filled pajama party. Everyone wore pajamas, drank hot cocoa and had a bedtime snack. Each class also wrote their own book about bedtime routines. A great time was had by all!
Kitah Aleph students are very busy practicing for their upcoming Siddur party. This special performance will take place on Sunday, January 8th at 10:00AM at the Main Center. The children cannot wait to share their excitement and hard work with their family and friends.
History Comes Alive in Fifth Grade – Mrs. Davis
Betsy Ross, Walt Disney, Benjamin Franklin….These are just a few of the many famous people who visited Mrs. Davis' fifth grade class. Her students did an excellent job on the written portion of the biography report. The oral presentations were most exciting as each student dressed up and presented special projects that they created to portray the lives of their famous personalities. Their next book report will involve a mystery novel and a "board game". Sounds very intriguing!!
Fifth Grade – Mrs. Kellerman
We have been very busy writing about the winter season. Some students chose to write fiction stories, and others chose non-fiction. Class 5P created a beautiful bulletin board with a fireplace as the background. When the students were asked how they feel about their class, they replied, "We are a "warm" family in our classroom".
Sixth and Seventh Grade Boys' Trip
Rabbi Uzhansky's sixth and seventh grade students were so happy to have the opportunity to meet the renowned boxer, Mr. Uri Foreman. They joined Mr. Foreman at the gym and watched while he trained. Mr. Foreman discussed with the students the difficulties of combining his profession with his dedication to being Jewish, and how he succeeds at both. The students were especially excited when they were able to join him in the rink and learn a few boxing moves.
Sixth Grade Girls' Shabbaton
Our 6th grade girls participated in a Shabbaton in Lakewood, New Jersey this past Shabbat. A Shabbaton is a wonderful vehicle for students to experience Shabbat in a unique atmosphere, enhance class Achdut (unity) and afford them the opportunity to share their special talents with their friends and teachers. Thank you so much to Morah Leah Birnbaum for hosting and planning this special event.
"I had a great time on the Shabbaton. We played fun games, stayed by wonderful hosts and ate lots of snacks and candy. The best part of the Shabbaton was that we got to spend Shabbos with our friends and especially with our Morah who made all this possible!"
Written by Chani Weintraub
Morah Birnbaum was very kind,
With a Shabbaton on her mind.
Kitah Vav, her very best class,
She took us to Lakewood, to her house.
We played games all Shabbos long,
Our aim was for all of us to get along.
When we had to say goodbye,
Kitah Vav started to cry.
The only thing we have to say,
Is thank you for letting us stay.
Hopefully, we will have another Shabbaton,
And then we will write another poem.
With all our love, Kitah Vav.

6th grade recently had an extra tasty dose of science. Using the "quick" ice cream-making process as a model for freezing point depression, the students mixed and made their own creamy concoctions. This tasty treat was a perfect way to end the unit on "solutions".
The 8th graders "dug out" their mining skills to crack open some geodes and reveal the beautiful crystals inside. The geode project was an excellent way for students to add to their knowledge of rock classification and crystal properties.
7th grade science class worked on a special lesson to learn about the properties of yeast. They learned how yeast reproduces and what it needs to survive. Yeast was put into three cups of water. In cup A, they put in room temperature tap water, in cup B warm water, and in cup C warm water and sugar. The students then predicted what would happen in each cup and why. The majority of students predicted that the warm water in cups B&C would activate the yeast. What actually happened was that cup C had the most activity. The sugar is eaten by the yeast which then creates a carbon dioxide gas which bubbles in the water. Don't be surprised if your daughter or son becomes very interesting in baking Challahs for Shabbos!
Four times a year, the Center for Initiatives in Jewish Education (CIJE) sponsors an "International Riddle Contest". Our seventh grade class was given a very challenging math and science enrichment assignment. We are very proud to announce that Michelle Steiman was our school winner! She solved and explained the solution to a very intriguing puzzle called Calculation Sudoku. She was one of thirty seven winners from schools around the globe!
Our 6-8 grade girls on the JFS basketball team are having so much fun playing various teams from other schools. Although they lost to Noam last week, they still get an "A for effort"! Better luck next time!
JFS Welcomes back Morah Galila
Our entire faculty is so excited to welcome back Morah Galila. Morah Galila is a veteran JFS staff member who has worked in the second grade class for many years. We wish her continued good health and much Nachat from her beautiful family.
We are so proud of our 4th graders for organizing their own Tzedakah Candy Sale for Bikur Cholim. All our students were so excited to participate in this Mitzvah project and they certainly enjoyed eating the delicious candies that they bought!
Who ever heard of a smiley face on a pizza? The students in grades 1-3 are enjoying their after-school baking and cooking class. At the first session, they created delicious sprinkle- covered chocolate truffles and we are sure that many of the treats did not make it home as the students could not wait to eat them. "Create you own pizza" was the theme of the second session. They created interesting designs on the pizza dough by using various colorful vegetables and cheeses. One student even made a smiley face! They could not wait to share their culinary skills with their families.
Parshat Va'yechi
In this week's Parsha, Shimon and Levi do not receive a blessing from Yaakov. Instead, he curses their anger. Yaakov had been very upset when Shimon and Levi wiped out the city of Shechem, as their actions put everyone in danger. The Mishnah says in Pirkei Avot, "Who is strong? One who can control his Yetzer Harah." The commentators explain that this refers to someone who can control his anger.
When we think of someone who is strong, we often think of someone who can bend metal bars or lift heavy weights. The Mishnah tells us that controlling our anger requires an even greater sense of inner strength. This is also what Yaakov was telling Shimon and Levi. True strength is not wiping out a city, but controlling anger and stopping to think if that is the correct course of action.
Let us learn from this the importance of being able to control our anger and consider our actions. If someone does something to get us angry, instead of reacting out of anger by hitting or shouting, let's try to control our anger and figure out what a proper response should be.

Chanukah Fun Part II
Chanukah fun and excitement continued this week. Thank you to our very generous JFS PTA for sponsoring sufganiyot and chocolate Chanukah gelt.
We welcomed in Rosh Chodesh Tevet and continued to enjoy Chanukah by playing dreidel and other Chanukah games. Eating home-made latkes, singing and dancing all added to the fun.
The children finished off the week with beautiful smiles on their faces as they took their school pictures. We can't wait to see the finished products!
It's so hard to believe that Chanukah is over. We had an absolutely wonderful time in school. Every class enjoyed Chanukah parties, sufganiot, chocolate coins and cookie treats, and games and activities in their own classrooms. Joining in school- wide activities added to the Ruach of this special Chag. We will all miss this very special time of year. These are special memories that we will treasure forever.
This past week our students in grades 1-8 participated in the long awaited Chinese Auction. All the Derech Donuts that were earned during the month of Kislev were put to good use. Many very lucky students won prizes which included: extra points on tests, "no homework nights", assorted snacks, ice cream, pizza luncheons, sodas, homemade cookies, potato kugels, tutoring, Slurpees, Dunkin Donut gift cards, games, prizes, "Bentching assistant for a day" and one-on-one basketball games with the teachers. We thank our entire staff for their wonderful donations to this program and for their dedication and efforts on behalf of our student body. We also thank the eighth graders for their help in collating the Chinese Auction booklets.
Fifth Grade Girls Play
Morah Fishman and her 5th grade girls performed a beautiful Chanukah play for students in grades 1-5. The girls were so well prepared and they sang and recited their parts to perfection. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Morah Fishman for her hard work and creativity. Broadway – here we come!!! We video-taped their performance for your viewing pleasure and we hope you enjoy and shep as much Nachat as we did.
Fourth and Fifth Grade Girls' Choir
Our JFS choir delighted us with their beautiful and sweet voices as they sang many popular Chanukah songs. Not only did they sing at some of our assemblies, but they also took their "show on the road "when they sang at the Staten Island Borough Hall Chanukah celebration. Thank you to Mrs. Irene Lopukhin, our very talented music teacher, for the time and effort that she spent preparing the girls. Once again, we would like to thank Mrs. Alina Lukyanov for helping us organize this exceptional event.

Posted on December 23, 2011 | Comments Off on JFS Weekly Highlights 2011-12-23 – Chanukah Sa'meach!
We are so excited that Chanukah is finally here! The entire ELC had fun making edible Menorot out of pretzels, graham crackers and candy. They were delicious!
Toddlers " lit" their Chanukiot, ate latkes and sang many Chanukah songs.
When nursery children were not busy with Chanukah, they learned about the letter H. They prepared a "hat show" and made hearts using their hands.
After the kindergarten class finished enjoying their latkes, they incorporated dreidels and candles into a math lesson. They weighed and counted these Chanukah items to understand the concept of more and less.
Primer children played a fun dreidel game and ate homemade latkes. Performing for the entire ELC was especially fun and entertaining. They are ready for Broadway!
We lit candles, ate yummy potato latkes and took home chocolate Chanukah gelt – what a great week! Thank you to the parents who came to school to help us make latkes. We are looking forward to more Chanukah fun next week!
Main Center – Chanukah
Chanukah is finally here and we have had a wonderful time in school!
Our Chinese Acrobats extravaganza was truly amazing as we watched the entertainers perform all types of balancing acts. Roller skating for grades 4 – 8 was so much fun as the students skated with their teachers and friends. Our children in grades 1 – 3 had a super time at Fun Station. They enjoyed all the rides and arcade attractions. Many of our classes had the opportunity to share some Chanukah fun with the residents in various local nursing homes.
Our annual visit with children from HASC was really amazing, as our 7th and 8th graders interacted so beautifully with these special students. Delicious Sufganiot, Chanukah Gelt and dreidles were appreciated by all of us.
Our 4th and 5th grade girls' choir were a super hit. They sang so beautifully at the Staten Island Borough Hall Chanukah program. We would like to thank all the parents who came to enjoy the performance and help chaperone the students. A very special thank you to our music teacher, Mrs. Irene Lopukhin who worked so hard to prepare the girls' choir for their numerous Chanukah presentations and to Mrs. Alina Lukyanov who organized the entire Borough Hall program.
Acharon, acharon…. thank you to our PTA for funding all our Chanukah activities and treats. In addition, the PTA has purchased a new camera for our school to enhance the pictures that are taken of all our special activities. We are very grateful to them for all their efforts and their dedication to our school!
We have compiled a beautiful slide show of all our Chanukah fun to date. We hope you enjoy! We will share more of our fun filled Chanukah activities with you in next week's newsletter. To view the slideshow, please click on the image below and then on the latest slideshow in our media gallery.
We would like to wish our entire JFS family a Chag Sameach!! May the message of strength, conviction, and Bitachon in Hashem that this Chag brings resound in the hearts of all of Klal Yisroel here, in Eretz Yisrael and all over the world.

What do you get when you take model magic, spoons and paint? You get a great Chanukiah for a toddler. And even though we are so busy with Chanukah, we still had time to learn our next shape, the square. Our children are really enjoying their big book about shapes.
Nursery incorporated the three latest colors they learned into their Chanukah project. They became magicians and used black and white paint to create gray, which they used to paint their Menorah. The letter of the week, G, turned out to be a tasty one as we enjoyed the gingerbread cookie we made for our Shabbat treat.
Our week would not have been complete without learning about this week's Parsha, Vayeshev. We made colorful necklaces to learn about kitonet passim. Just as Yaakov Aveinu made a special colorful coat for his son Yosef, we made special colorful necklaces to bring home to our families.
Kindergarten children are learning about" small, medium and large" and they used these lessons to make sivivonim. They also began working on their Chanukiot. We took advantage of this week's Parsha, Vayeshev, by using the story of Yosef and his coat of colors to review our colors in both Hebrew and English. As fire safety plays a very important role on Chanukah, we are teaching the children how careful we have to be when the lights of the Menorah are burning.
Primer class has started a new unit on numbers and these concepts were tied into our learning about Chanukah. The word families "and" and "at" were also introduced. We used "at" to form the word hat and then went on to have "crazy hat day". Everyone can use a drip mat on Chanukah, and Primer children made their very own. They also made a candle box holder. In Hebrew language, Sabba Segol was introduced. The children are looking forward to showing off their Yosef paper doll with the kitonet passim on it, in honor of this week's Parsha.
ELC Gallery
"Oh Chanukah, oh Chanukah a Yom Tov a Shayna!" Our school building and classes truly reflect the words to this popular Chanukah song. From the festive dreidles, latkes and pitchers of oil hanging in our lobby that were decorated by our students in grades 1-3, to the beautifully adorned bulletin boards in all the halls, the anticipation and excitement of Chanukah is felt wherever you turn. All our classes are busy learning the Halachot and traditions of this special Chag and so many of our classes are preparing special Chanukah gifts to bring home to their families. We can't wait for Chanukah to come. JFS has so many wonderful activities planned! Stay tuned for next week's e-mail where you will be able to see and share the fun that we will have in school.
Our first graders are working very hard on their Chanukah booklets, Magen David picture frames, hanging dreidles, stained glass decorations and Chanukah bookmarks. The beautiful pictures of the children that will be placed in the frames will make this Chanukah gift a present that you will forever treasure. In addition, they are very close to completing their Ketivah – writing booklet. They have come so far in their reading and writing since the beginning of the school year.
Second graders are creating a beautiful Chanukah booklet. They have learned so many songs and stories pertaining to this special Chag and have created beautiful Chanukah brochot plaques. Thank you so much to the parents who have shared Chanukah books with our class.
Students in grades 3G and 3J were very busy this week painting and assembling "dreidle plaques." These plaques are very colorful and festive and our students are looking forward to bringing them home.
3J recently began a unit on Lashon Tov, using a program which is produced by the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation. Through stories, journal writings, songs, class discussions and contests, they are learning and reinforcing the importance of using their speech and language in a positive manner.
Class 4E enjoyed reading a fiction book in which an animal is the main character. They wrote a report and created puppets about the animal in their story. The next book report assignment was a non-fiction, and it involved two different books on vertebrate animals. They enjoyed comparing and contrasting two vertebrate animals and making dioramas depicting one of the animals in its environment.
Our fourth grade girls are working on Chanukah trivets using paints and mosaic tiles. The finished products are really impressive and we are sure you will be able to put them to good use. In addition, class 4G has begun a special program called "Touring the World with our Midot". Each student has received a "passport" which they will use to "travel" the world to learn different Mitzvot. This month, they travelled to France, where they learned the Middah of Zerizut, which focuses on performing Mitzvot promptly, eagerly and with enthusiasm. Through songs, stories, contests, arts and crafts and journal entries, the students are enjoying this most creative program.
Our Safa classes are writing poems and stories and are reading literature pertaining to Chanukah. Working on Hebrew crossword puzzles is very challenging and enjoyable for all. The students created beautiful Chanukah stained glass projects to enhance their classrooms.
Sixth grade Social Studies class has just completed a wondrous journey through ancient Egypt. Class 6A students were fascinated with the mummification process. Each student assumed the role of an Egyptian embalmer and advertised their services by creating business cards detailing their expertise in their field.
Have you ever traveled to the countries of Staten Oak, Black Orco, Amish Way or J.Z.? Don't be disappointed if you haven't. Seventh graders have created their own unique countries, including government, geographical features, historical backgrounds and a national anthem. These "countries" are certainly one of a kind! They are truly examples of exotic destinations.
Derech Donuts
The entire school is looking forward to our Chanukah Goods and Service Auction. It will take place on Tuesday, December 27 for grades 1-3 and on Wednesday, December 28 for grades 4-8. By working diligently on their Midot Tovot and their class work, the students are earning and accumulating raffle tickets (Derech Donuts). We would like to thank our entire faculty for their donations to this exciting program.
Chessed Corner
As we do before every Chag, our eighth graders helped Bikur Cholim pack special packages for nursing home residents. Many of our classes will be visiting local nursing homes to spread some Chanukah cheer. It is a very positive experience for our students and most important it helps put smiles on the faces of all the nursing home residents!
Our boys' basketball team, the "JFS Jaguars" are really busy this week. They hosted RPRY this past Wednesday, and will be playing JEC this Motzei Shabbat, December 17, at our school gym. RPRY and JEC have been our long-time basketball rivals and the Jaguars need the support of all their fans. Let's pack the gym and give the Jaguars that extra push they need to bring home a victory! Bring your family and friends and get ready to make some noise cheering for our school team. The boys' team will be available for autographs and photo shoots after the game so bring your pens and cameras!
Thank you to the parents and students who helped make this year's Scholastic Book Fair a tremendous success. Thank you, as well, to all the following parent volunteers who helped run our book fair; Shoshana Silber, Rayna Bobchin, Josh Commer, Ellen Goldfarb, Geri Kelsch, Sarit Glickman, Sharon Fenster, Sharon Darmoni, and Rachel Roberts.
Our annual Chanukah Candle Fundraiser is well under way. We hope these candles will help brighten your Chag. This particular project helps our PTA fund our many Chanukah activities and treats. Thank you to Judy Nussenblatt and her children Jaclyn and Michael, for their hard work and efforts in organizing this fundraiser.
The Chanukah sale was a great success. Many thanks to our former parent, Kathy Candelario, for organizing this year's sale. Thank you to Debbie Burack, Josh Commer and Malkie Goldzal for their help at the ELC and to Rachel Roberts, Judy Nussenblatt, Geri Kelsch, Limor Milman, Iva Reuven, Maya Nacmias, Carla Talmor, Shoshana Silber, Rayna Bobchin, Sharon Darmoni and Aviva Brum at our Main Center.
We would like to wish everyone a very happy Chanukah!

ELC children are happily preparing for Chanukah. Our toddlers made their very own Chanukah wrapping paper and decorated beautiful dreidels.
Nursery's color of the week was white and the letter of the week was F. The children had a great time feather painting. Morah Diane dressed up as a dreidel to officially welcome in all the Chanukah preparations. Nursery also made a surprise gift for mommy and daddy.
Kindergarten children are working on their math skills. They did leaf graphing, leaf counting and candle math. They "hand painted" a Chanukiah. The children especially enjoyed a vanilla party which they had in conjunction with their Hebrew letter of the week, vav.
Primer students dressed up and danced to 50's music to celebrate the 50th day of school. They had so much fun. We can't wait to see what the 100th day will bring! We also introduced the "an" family this week. In Hebrew literature, we read the book Hello Hello Abba to go along with the letter hey, which led us into a game of telephone. We also discussed the Parsha and how Yaakov prepares to meet Esav. The children can't wait to learn what happens next.
Stay tuned for more great ELC happenings!
Kitah Aleph was so pleased to complete their first Kriyah booklet. As a culminating activity, Morah Simona and her class enjoyed a delicious party. The students are looking forward to beginning the next level booklet. Thank you to all the parents who sent in the treats for this special occasion.
Our Kitah Aleph is also very busy practicing for their upcoming Siddur party, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 8 at 9:30AM in the Main Center. The Siddur play is traditionally a highlight of the first grade and the children are looking forward to sharing this special milestone with their family and friends.
Fourth Grade Boys Siyum
Mazal Tov to Rabbi Loebenstein and his fourth grade class for completing Parshat Vayishlach. They celebrated with an exciting siyum which included singing, dancing and, of course, delicious snacks. As a culminating review activity, they acted out eighteen different scenes from the Parsha. We are so proud of the entire class!
Fifth Grade Girls' Cookie Sale
Our fifth grade girls' class had a very successful cookie sale this week for Bikur Cholim. Students in grades one through three were so excited to buy the cookies and were so proud to be a part of this important Mitzvah. Thank you to the parents of the fifth grade girls for donating the cookies.
Seventh Grade Girls' Cupcake Sale
Everyone who entered our school this week was immediately drawn to the delicious smells that emanated from the lunchroom. Our seventh grade girls were very busy baking cupcakes for their upcoming fundraiser for Bikur Cholim. The sale was very successful and we are so appreciative to the parents of this class for donating the ingredients for this project.
Chanukah is in the air and the excitement for this upcoming Chag is certainly felt by all who visit our Main Center. The main lobby is beautifully adorned with the colorful decorations that grades one through three created at our most recent SST program.
PTA CONFERENCES
It was so wonderful to welcome all the parents who attended Parent-Teacher conferences this past Wednesday evening. We would like to express our appreciation to the PTA for funding our new computerized program for scheduling appointments with faculty. Many parents told us that the new system made the evening much more organized, productive and efficient. A special hakarat hatov to Mrs. Linda Edelman and Mrs. Karen Goldstein for their efforts and time spent on this most important project.

JFS – Weekly Highlights 2011-12-02
Posted on December 2, 2011 | Comments Off on JFS – Weekly Highlights 2011-12-02
Rosh Chodesh Kislev is always so exciting as we anticipate the upcoming Yom Tov of Chanukah. We have already begun reading Chanukah stories and creating beautiful arts and crafts projects.
A scavenger hunt for circles, squares, triangles and stars was so much fun for our toddler group.
Nursery children enjoyed their "All About Me" unit this week. Some of the topics the children discussed were their favorite foods, colors, activities, as well as the similarities and differences in each of their families. Most important, we realized how important and special each and every person is.
Kindergarten and primer children attended the theatre at the College of Staten Island where they enjoyed Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A great time was had by all.
For Parshat Vayetze, the children made special craft projects and reenacted the story of Yaakov and his dream.
Our countdown to Chanukah begins…
Since the beginning of our school year, our fourth, fifth and sixth graders have been participating in the Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS). The highlight of this competition is a series of five monthly contests, held from November to March. Each contest consists of five problems that require careful mathematical thinking. In the first contest, our students scored unbelievably well. Two of our students received a perfect score and ten others solved four out of five problems correctly. We are so proud of all of them!
E2K Program
This week, nine of our seventh graders competed in a virtual science competition against students from sixteen other schools in the tri-state area. They worked in the science lab and their experiments were broadcast live, via the internet to Israel, where all the entries were judged. Conducting the experiments and then answering questions on line about the results was a real challenge. JFS SCORED IN THE TOP FOUR SCHOOLS!!!
Mazal Tov to the children who have already completed their Midot Tovot charts. They were so excited to visit Morah Sheila's treasure chest! Their faces were beaming as all of their friends applauded their accomplishment.
Our "No TV Tuesday" program is well underway. So many students came in on Wednesday morning so excited and proud that they did not watch TV.
At this week's SST program, students in grades one through three created beautiful Chanukah decorations. We can't wait to adorn our main lobby with these beautiful works of art.
Learning about Shabbat was so much fun in Kitah Bet. Through special booklets, songs, and stories, our students were surrounded by the warmth and beauty of Shabbat. A magnificent Shabbat bulletin board hangs in our hallway where it is admire by all who pass by. The children baked their own challot and were so happy to bring them home with the special Shabbat napkin holders that they also made. We are sure they will look beautiful on your Shabbat table.
Fourth Grade Siyum
Mazal Tov to Morah Auerbach and her fourth grade class on completing Parshat Vayishlach! Their Siyum was fun filled with Divrei Torah and skits about the Parsha. They concluded the festivities with a delicious waffles and ice cream treat.
6B and 7B11 Navi Class
Mazal Tov to Rabbi Daum who recently received his Master's in Education with a specialty in Curriculum Development and Educational Technology from California State University at Bakersfield. One methodology, which has received much attention in the media lately, is the idea of the "Flipped Classroom" in which students use digital resources to preview, review and explore educational materials at their own pace and use class time to facilitate discussion or work on problems. Recently, Rabbi Daum's 6B and 7B11 classes began learning Sefer Shmuel using some aspects of this methodology. The students were very excited to learn Navi on the computer!
Eighth Grade Post BJE Breakfast
After three months of intensive learning and studying for the BJE exam,Morah Eisenberger and her eighth grade class enjoyed a celebratory brunch at the Dairy Palace. Our eighth graders are so relieved that the test is over and they are happy that they were well prepared for this important high school placement examination.
Welcome back to Mr. Irwin Ziment
Our third and fifth graders were so excited to welcome Mr. Ziment back. He was truly missed by all of us and we are so happy to have him back at school.
Bikur Cholim Bowl-A-Thon
The Bowl-A-Thon for Bikur Cholim was a huge success. Our students in grades four through eight had a great time bowling and were so excited to be a part of this most important Mitzvah. Please help your child collect the pledges from their sponsors. Donations to Bikur Cholim may be made based on your child's total score or any flat amount you wish to give. To view a video slideshow of the children bowling, please click here.

We wish him Hatzlacha Rabba and we hope everyone will give him a warm welcome. We look forward to his contributions to our school.
The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday has been keeping the ELC children very busy. We incorporated the fall colors into many Thanksgiving projects. Napkins colored with the juice from cooked vegetables and napkin rings were just a few of the items created to enhance the Thanksgiving table. The book I Am Thankful for.. , written by the children, gave us wonderful insight into some of their thoughts.
Primer's sight word" like" was used to combine Thanksgiving and math with a graph of different flavors of pie.
We ended off the short week with a school wide Thanksgiving feast. A gobbling great time was had by all!
Parshat Toldot, which tells the story of Esav and Yaakov, gave us the opportunity to discuss being a "good follower". It also led into lessons and projects about the five senses. Puppets depicting Esav and Yaakov were made and the children enjoyed play acting the story. One class even made lentil soup!
Acharon, Acharon…..A special Refuah Shleymah to Morah Diane Rosenberg. Please get better soon. We miss you!!
First and Second Grade Learns About Dental Hygiene
We are so thankful toDr. Debbie from Staten Island Pediatric Dentistry for visiting our school to discuss proper dental hygiene. The students enjoyed her presentation and were especially pleased to receive a complimentary gift containing various dental paraphernalia. Don't be surprised when your children cannot wait to brush their teeth twice a day!
Sixth and Seventh Grade Mishkan Project
Rabbi Uzhansky's sixth and seventh grades class completed a unit on the Mishkan. As a culminating activity, the students created beautiful projects reflecting all that they had learned. They were so pleased to share their accomplishments and hard work with their teachers and various classes in the school.
Parent -Teacher conferences will take place on Wednesday, December 7th. Please remember that using the on-line computer program will be the only way to make an appointment to meet with your children's teachers that evening.

Rabbi Ari Neuwirth joins JFS
Posted on November 21, 2011 | Comments Off on Rabbi Ari Neuwirth joins JFS
400 CASWELL AVENUE
www.jewishfoundationschool.org
During the summer, I wrote you about our initiatives to enhance parent–school communication. We've already made considerable progress. Since the beginning of the school year, our Advisory Committee has been actively working and we launched a weekly e-newsletter so that we can share with parents all that takes place in JFS.
In addition, as our enrollment continues to grow, we believe that we should expand our outstanding and dedicated Administration led by our Dean, Rabbi Dr. Richard Ehrlich; our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Linda Edelman, and our Early Learning Director, Mrs. Anne Goodman.
I am pleased to inform you that Rabbi Ari Neuwirth is joining JFS as an Assistant Principal beginning today. Rabbi Neuwirth was raised in our community and is a highly regarded educator with significant experience as a Jewish Day School teacher and an administrator. In addition to his Rabbinical Degree, Rabbi Neuwirth also received a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from Providence College.
As JFS continues to grow, the addition of Rabbi Neuwirth would permit our administration to communicate with our expanding parent body so that we can realize the potential of all of our students. With the school year still relatively new, we hope that Rabbi Neuwirth will become fully engaged with our parents and students in a meaningful way quickly.
With Rabbi Neuwirth's background and skills, and with Rabbi Ehrlich's guidance and Mrs. Edelman's experience, we hope that JFS will be even more responsive to our parents' and students' needs.

F Bar owner on giving drag shows 'a little rest' and the future of the club

If you read it on the internet, it must be true. Right?
Irwin Palchick, the owner of F Bar in Montrose, wants to clear up the swirl of gossip that's been going around Facebook regarding the abrupt shuttering of his club's Tuesday night drag shows and overall future.
"I've seen a couple of the posts. A lot of these people don't know what they're talking about, as usual. It's always just a rumor," he says.
Posts began appearing earlier this week about the disappearance of F Bar's Tuesday drag revue, known as Dreamgirls, which featured several well-known local performers. Palchick says the night is indeed no more.
BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE: Houston queen transforms into Pennywise from Stephen King's 'It'
"I want the best for the girls, and I just feel that they are playing to a very, very tiny (crowd). They're not making money, and I'm not making any money and the place is getting worn out," Palchick says.
"We're gonna give it a little rest. It's not done. I think we'll regroup and refresh the bar and come back with Tuesday nights. We're going to remodel the inside. I think this drag phenomenon – and thank you, RuPaul – is going to continue. But it's gotta settle down."
F Bar's once-mighty Tuesday nights regularly attracted hundreds of people for its late-night performances. It was a polished cast that offered up lots of variety.
But Palchick says competition from all sides has forced him to close on Tuesdays.
"Drag is rampant in Houston right now. It's everywhere. You've got Rich's. You've got F Bar. You've got TC's. You've got Bayou City. You've got Michael's Outpost. You've got South Beach. You've got JR's. You've got Hamburger Mary's," he says. "And it's the same girls in the same outfits doing the same songs.
"The cost of running these shows – I pay the girls more than most bars do. I pay them $125 each (a night). Plus they get their tips. Makeup and dresses and hair and shoes and necklaces are expensive. And you've got your DJ, your floor staff, your door staff, your bartenders.
"When you don't take in enough to cover the show, it doesn't pay to do it anymore."
F Bar has also shuttered its Wednesday drag talent night because of competition from other venues. And aside from gay bars, there are recurring drag shows at The Improv and Warehouse Live and drag brunches at Boheme and Lowbrow.
Despite all that, there's still plenty of drag in the F Bar schedule.
Thursdays are "urban" with performers Adeciya Iman and Jayda Iman Alexander. Fridays feature male dancers with hosts Aria Crawford and Paulina Fhiffer. Saturdays are again urban with hosts Adeciya Iman and Trinity K. Bonet from "RuPaul's Drag Race."
And Palchick says Sunday's F Latin Divas show is "phenomenal" and still going strong.
All but two girls from the Tuesday revue, Deyjzah Opulent Mirage and Chloe Knox, have been shuffled into other nights.
"They're both seasoned people," Palchick says. "They'll find work."
SHANTAY THEY STAY: Houston queens who could be on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'
Several performers have taken to Facebook to offer their own opinions.
"While we as queens appreciate the tips you give us, it is the drinks you purchase that keep us employed. The bar can be full of people that tip us but if they are not buying drinks (especially if there isn't a cover) then the bar loses money to keep us on a show," wrote Crawford, who performs Fridays and Sunday at F Bar.
Mirage posted that she "didn't want to be in any other show at fbar and everyone there was very sure of that ... and I am very happy with my choices as well as whatever decisions made.
"Other than that thanks but we're not gonna start any storybending because then there will be #facts...and I don't really feel like all that."
Palchick laughs off rumors of unpaid employees and the entire bar closing.
"I'm going to be 70 years old in July. I'm not planning to go anywhere," he says. "If I were to close ever, I would sell it to a competent person."

Suspected Arizona Shooter Hardly Conservative in Reading | Constant Conservative
Suspected Arizona Shooter Hardly Conservative in Reading
He has been named as Jared Loughner (probably Jared Lee Loughner). His YouTube channel includes, along with 3 strangely done videos about "conscience dreaming" and mind control and new currency, the following list of favorite books:
Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver's Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno. [emphasis added]
While it is possible that a conservative might include some of these books in a favorites list, I doubt that either the Communist Manifesto or Mein Kampf would make the cut. Of course, the reality of Mr. Loughner's beliefs will not get in the way of many claiming that he is one of those horrible Tea Party people, simply because Representative Giffords is a politician who espouses ideas which are antithetical to the general drift of the Tea Party participants.
It is believed that this is a photo of the aforementioned individual.

6 thoughts on "Suspected Arizona Shooter Hardly Conservative in Reading"
Daily Tea Party website list 3 planks supported in the Communist Manifesto http://bit.ly/fKf9B9 one of Jared Lee Loughner's favorites.
Better google Tea party reading list and one of Jared's book titles.
Wake up and smell the tea. It's a bitter cup to swallow.
The link you submitted says that the 3 planks are universally accepted, by the Tea Party and everyone else. While the author makes a good argument, he is far from stating that Tea Party is any more communistic than the general population.
While I and many other conservatives have read all or parts of the books I mentioned above (the best way to understand one's ideological opponent is to read his textbook) we do not list these works as our favorites.
It would seem that you are typifying the exact reaction of which I spoke in this post.
With tragedies like this, people seem to search for an answer to the question "Why?" I see a lot of people attempting to connect this event to Sarah Palin's "target" list or Sharron Angle's "2nd Amendment remedies" quote (especially since Rep. Giffords office was vandalized during the health care reform debate).
But we really can't apply logic to situations like this because most of the time it's not logical. The gunman could've been after the judge or could've just seen a crowd and wanted to get attention or is just a lunatic. It might eventually turn out that Loughner is a liberal or conservative or just had a break with reality. We probably won't know anything like that for awhile. so I'm not putting much weight behind any theory right now.
It would seem that jumping to conclusions does not have the stigma attached to it that it once did.
That said, we could say that the lunatic designation makes the most sense until more is known. After all, a person does not kill/attempt to kill between 10 and 20 civilians gathered in peaceful assembly–including children–if all is well up top.
Yeah, I agree. I also think the most constructive thing we can be doing is praying for the victims and their families.

San Diego Safari Zoo Safari Park, originally named the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800-acre zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido. It is one of the largest tourist attractions located in San Diego County. In the park you’ll discover herds of animals roaming the field, similar to their natural habitat. You can enjoy close-up contact with wildlife, few crowds, and long adventurous walks.
This animal attraction often puts you on the “inside” and the animals on the “outside”. San Diego Safari Park was established as a breeding facility for the zoo in 1972. Many of the herbivores wander free in large fields while you are confined to certain paths or trams. They mingle freely within herds of their own kind as well as with other species that they would encounter in the plains of Asia and Africa. Attractions that you can enjoy in this pack include:
-Trigger Trail
-Petting Kraal
-Africa Tram
-Lion Camp Savana Cool Zone
When deciding on where to book your stay, the best idea would be to stay in the heart of San Diego! At Comfort Inn Gaslamp, we are located in the center, where you have easy access to all the best locations San Diego has to offer. San Diego Zoo Safari Park is 28 miles from the park, which is a 20-minute ride to the ultimate safari experience! To book your stay, visit our website or call (619) 202-4324 today!

First Known Use of antitoxin
History and Etymology for antitoxin
anti- + toxin, probably after Italian antitossina or German Antitoxin (both perhaps calqued on German Gegengift "antidote")
Note: Probably introduced by the Italian pathologist Guido Tizzoni (1853-1932), who used the word in Tizzoni and Giuseppina Cattani, "Sulla proprietà dell'antitossina del tetano," Atti della Reale Accademia dei Lincei, Serie Quarta, Rendiconti, vol. 7 (1891), 1. semestre, pp. 333-37; and in Guido Tizzoni, "Ueber die experimentelle Immunität gegen den Tetanus," Internationale Beiträge zur wissenschaftlichen Medicin: Festschrift, Rudolf Virchow gewidmet, Band 3 (Berlin, 1891), pp. 31-60. The term antitoxin is associated with the German pathologist Emil von Behring, though its use by Behring appears to be subsequent to Tissoni's; for background see Derek S. Linton, Emil von Behring: Infectious Disease, Immunology, Serum Therapy (Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society, 2005).

"Without that evidence, we can't go forward, and that would end the case in Polk County," said Chip Thullbery, spokesman for the Polk County state's attorney's office in Florida.
Kelly, perhaps best known for his song "I Believe I Can Fly," was arrested in June 2002 at his Davenport, Fla., vacation home on the Chicago charges. He was arrested again in January 2003 outside a Coconut Grove hotel on a warrant that charged him with 12 counts of possession of child pornography.
Polk investigators seized digital-camera equipment and the dozen images from a house Kelly was renting about 35 miles southwest of Orlando. They showed a teenage girl younger than 18 engaged in sexual activity, including three poses with Kelly, investigators said at the time.
The Florida judge ruled Thursday that the digital images were inadmissible in court because they were obtained illegally. A detective found the pictures on a camera wrapped in a towel inside a duffel bag. He then requested a second warrant to look for child pornography. The judge found there was no probable cause to suspect the pornography was in the house.

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) has strengthened rules that will keep credit card costs down for merchants and consumers by stopping unfair practices in the credit card industry.
Keep the Canada Small Business Financing Program accessible
The Canada Small Business Financing Program, designed to make lending to small businesses easier, should focus on the needs of small businesses – and some of the government's proposed changes do just the opposite.
Kudos to the Competition Bureau in the battle over Visa and MasterCard fees
CFIB is very pleased that Canada's Competition Bureau is taking a case forward to give merchants more powers to address rising Visa and MasterCard fees. CFIB has worked closely with the Bureau and several CFIB members shared their stories to help further this important case.

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.
The Carolina Chocolate Drops were on fire in the wake of their 2010 release, Genuine Negro Jig. Deemed that year’s best album by veteran music writer Greil Marcus, it sold briskly, topping the folk and bluegrass music charts. The Chocolate Drops, who found a niche reviving the spirit and music of a nearly forgotten tradition of black American string bands, were critical darlings, praised by the New York Times, performing on NPR’s Fresh Air, and making the rounds on BBC Radio. They would walk away with that year’s Grammy for best folk album.
Passionate and multitalented, the bandmates didn’t exactly come off some back porch in Appalachia. Rhiannon Giddens, a North Carolina native who plays fiddle and banjo, is a classically trained singer who attended conservatory at Oberlin. Guitarist, singer, banjo player, and percussionist Dom Flemons, the showman of the trio, hails from Phoenix, where he immersed himself in old blues and jazz and rock and roll before embracing the folk and old-time scene. The third founding member, North Carolina fiddler and singer Justin Robinson, recruited Giddens to play sessions at the house of the late, legendary black fiddler Joe Thompson. Flemons, who had been collaborating with Giddens since the two met at a 2005 national Black Banjo Gathering, joined the others at Thompson’s house, and eventually the three young’uns broke out on their own.
But this past year was a challenging one for the Chocolate Drops. Robinson quit the band, leaving the others scrambling for a replacement. They soon settled on Hubby Jenkins, a young multi-instrumentalist from New York who shares his bandmates’ ethnomusicological flair. They also enlisted the services of cellist Leyla McCalla and beatboxer Adam Matta for the latest album Leaving Eden (reviewed here), which came out in late February and also hit No. 1 on the bluegrass charts. The band’s latest coup was getting a slot on the T-Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack for The Hunger Games with the song “Daughter’s Lament.” As the band embarked on its current national tour, I spoke with the talented Flemons, 29, about changing things up, growing up black in Arizona, and why he dresses so funny.
Mother Jones: So it was through Rhiannon that you met Joe Thompson, the band’s late mentor?
Dom Flemons: Justin started going down to Joe’s house and Joe needed a banjo player—his style of fiddling works off the banjo. So Rhiannon started joining him. I moved to North Carolina, and by that time they were starting to lock into Joe’s music. So I started playing guitar, jug, snare drum, what have you, on top of what they were doing, backing up Joe. Once we went on our own and started jamming outside of Joe’s house, that was when we really started to develop the sound of the group.
MJ: And it was Thompson, really, who brought this band together?
DF: Oh, absolutely. That’s why there was so much heft in our music right from the get-go; it was from sitting with Joe Thursday nights for like three years, learning tunes and learning how to play really tight. And then when we go on our own, we had all that power and all that tradition.
MJ: What led to the parting of ways with Justin?
DF: Justin is very much a homebody. He loves animals and plant life, and North Carolina is really where his heart’s always been. Being on road was never really ideal for him, and it finally came to a head. We tried our best to adjust around him wanting to be home more, and eventually it was just, “Okay, I can’t do this any more.” You know, it was amicable.
MJ: But it also must have been a huge blow? I mean, you’re this Grammy-winning band with tons of momentum, and then suddenly you’re back to square one.
DF: Absolutely. It left Rhiannon and I in kind of an odd situation, because we had all these gigs set up and it was time to hit the road again, and we needed to get back in it.
MJ: How’d you find Hubby?
DF: I’ve known Hubby for several years, since he was about 18. He was part of this collective in Brooklyn called Roots and Ruckus. Their main venue is a place called the Jalopy Theater. When I first met them it was very similar to what you saw in the early ’60s with a lot of the folk singers and neoethnics—they call them “city billies” too—people in the city that were interested in traditional music and were adapting that to their own performance style. I started to produce a solo record for Hubby for Music Maker. Maybe a couple months after we started to work on that, Justin quit. Hubby had just started to play mandolin and was spending a lot of time with Peter Stampfel, one of the founding members of the Holy Modal Rounders. He was getting a lot into old-time music, and so I asked him to join us.
MJ: You also picked up the Adam Matta. I remember seeing Doug E. Fresh, the human beatbox, way back in high school. He was playing with LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, Run DMC, and Whodini. What does an old-time band want with a beatboxer?
“I’m almost like a character actor, so when I’m performing in a style I try to be very specific about doing it authentically.”
DF: A lot of people have heard of beatboxing, but they haven’t seen anything like Adam. Adam is a master, a dynamo. That’s been an interesting experience, to figure out how to work it all in without it coming off gimmicky or cheap. We met him through the Luminescent Orchestrii, and when we did that EP and those sessions, that was all based around that idea of trying to show folk music and be expansive with it, while also still making it a very natural and very organic experience.
MJ: I mean, there is this kind of tradition in old-time music, with the jugs and so on, which are more or less vocal percussion.
DF: Oh yeah. You find that all over, from doo-wop to even—there’s a famous song, “The Catfish Blues,” from Robert Petway. He has a guy doing a vocal bass sound with him. Even like Burnett and Rutherford. There’s a great tune they do called “Ladies on a Steamboat.” It’s fiddle and banjo. This fellow Dick Burnett—he’s playing the banjo on one part, the second part he does a little flat-footing, and then the third part he does this: [series of difficult-to-transcribe twangy sounds]. He makes that sound part of the tune, and it’s a really amazing part. Humans have always worked with their voices and Adam’s no exception. We had him touring with us a bunch last year. Now he’s busy with a bunch of things, so he kind of tours with us here and there when we can get him.
MJ: So, Matta and your cellist, Leyla McCalla, are on a more-or-less guest basis?
DF: Yeah. No matter what, you’re gonna get Rhiannon, myself, and Hubby, and then the fourth person—we’re goin’ year by year now.
MJ: When you replace a founding member, is it like a day job where the new employee has a probationary period and then their stake grows over time?
DF: That’s something that we’ve been adjusting to, because when we started, all three of us were in the same position. With Justin leaving, Rhiannon and I are the two front people now. Hubby is up in the front but he’s not the main front person.
MJ: With thousands of great old songs at your disposal, where do you look for the gems?
DF: I always try to finds something a little off the beaten path, just reaching into the different albums that I’ve been interested in. Or I’ll be in a jam and I’ll find a song that’s of interest and I’ll adapt it to however I’m feeling it.
MJ: Do you still do much jamming on the side?
DF: A little bit. When we’re on the road, you don’t particularly want to just go out and jam all night long every night. But you get to play with friends at festivals, or you find little times here and there where you have breaks. Like whenever I’m in North Carolina—I live in New York now—I visit some of my friends and I jam there.
MJ: So where do you and Rhiannon differ in your musical preferences?
“I’ve always been a fan of plaid and suspenders, porkpie hats…I don’t feel like trying to figure out a different outfit every day”
DF: I tend to think about the collectors, the old-time fans, the blues fans, and try to reach out to where I’m getting something that’s not as well known. I’m also a vocal contortionist and almost like a character actor, so when I’m performing in a style I try to be very specific about doing it authentically, or try to reference the styles in a way that you can compare and contrast the original version with our version and see the differences.
MJ: It seems like you, more than your bandmates, kind of identify with a bygone era—moving to the Piedmont, and dressing old-timey. I mean, have you always dressed funny?
DF: Yeah, I was doing that before I started the group. That’s just my way of being. I’ve always been a fan of plaid and suspenders, porkpie hats. I’m a fan of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, a lot of those silent film stars. It’s a very easy style too—easy to travel with because the choices are very simple and the clothes are very easy to get. I don’t feel like trying to figure out a different outfit every day. I just change colors, make artistic choices with those colors and then just call it a day.
MJ: What’s your favorite song on the new album?
DF: I have a real kinship to “Mahalla.”
MJ: That’s a bit of departure for you guys, isn’t it?
“I was taught to be proud of who I was but, you know, don’t let your blackness be what people see first.”
DF: Yeah, I’d been messing with the tune for a year or so. I got this documentary called Karoo Kitar Blues on this fellow Hannes Coetzee and the musical tradition that he comes form. It’s a whole black string band tradition in South Africa. The Dutch came in and established apartheid and Afrikaans as a language and a culture, and then these servants and slaves learned the Dutch European dance tunes and applied it to their own aesthetic and it became a whole musical tradition. They had fiddles and banjos, too. And besides it being a very catchy number, all of a sudden I found that there was a whole amazing history. There’s this tradition of fiddling there where they use giant oil cans. They make a one-string fiddle out of that, and they had one guy playing but then he passed away so the story talks about them going to that guy’s house and taking his fiddle and searching for another guy who can play in that old style.
MJ: Was your family musical?
DF: Everybody wasn’t playing instruments or anything. My parents are always singing, like with the radio and stuff, and that was something that we all did. I played drums first in school. And then when I was about 16, I really got into Bob Dylan and the Beatles and stuff so I started playing a lot of old rock and roll and folk music from the ’60s.
MJ: You’re from Arizona, a state with very few black people. Is that something you thought about while growing up?
DF: Didn’t think much about it. There’s a black community in Arizona, it’s just not out in the open. But if you’re in it, you know where everybody is. I was taught to be proud of who I was but, you know, don’t let your blackness be what people see first. Let people see you as a person. So I never really thought about any of this stuff when I was first playing music. Then, when the black banjo gathering happened, I began thinking about the racial implications to the music I was playing. And when I saw that there was a chance to elevate this unique part of our folk music traditions in America, that gave me a very strong goal to work with. So when we started the group it wasn’t like a militant stance. It was just to say, “Look at how much broader things are than we’ve all been taught.”
MJ: Did your black friends respect your retro tastes or kind of tease you about it?
DF: I wouldn’t say it was teasing. It was just “that weird thing that Dom likes.” Rhiannon and Justin will tell you the same thing. People in general in America just don’t know a whole lot about folk and bluegrass—black culture’s so far removed from it, it’s not even in most people’s consciousness. Every once in a while someone has a family connection, like Joe Thompson, for example. But the string music is old music for his generation. You know, his generation really leaned towards blues, like Blind Boy Fuller and that sort of style.
In the Arizona folk community, beyond black and white, “I was the only person who was under 40.”
MJ: So the string-band stuff would be what his parents would listen to?
DF: Exactly.
MJ: I mean, way back when, it’s what all of America listened to. That was the pop music. And then comes jazz, rock n roll, reggae, hip-hop. Nowadays it seems like the audience for old-time music is overwhelmingly white folks over 40. What are you seeing at your shows?
DF: Well, it’s starting to change. In the folk community in Arizona, I first started playing when I was 16. I was the only person who was under 40. And even beyond black and white, I was the only young person doing anything with folk music. With Johnny Cash‘s American Recordings, Tom Waits from Mule Variations on, O Brother Where Art Thou, Allison Krauss, Gillian Welch, even Old Crow Medicine Show—with all these sort of acts coming around and making it cool, grittier, and relevant to listen to old-time music or more-acoustic music, that’s been changing the musical landscape. There’s a younger generation going through that. And then there are the older people who love the music in general, they’re getting older and older but they’ve still got the love for the music as well. So it’s sort of smashing together. And we’ve been very fortunate that we’ve had a very broad demographic join us in our shows.
MJ: Are you coming across more black old-time musicians in your travels?
“We’re obsessed with the white guys who sound black, but rarely do we ever think about the black guys who sound white.”
DF: Oh yeah, here and there. But that’s one of the best non-secrets in American culture: There are black old-time musicians and blues musicians and folk musicians everywhere. It’s just, you know, people don’t think about it. So people like Guy Davis or Jesse Taylor—Taj Mahal’s been around for ages—Hubby Jenkins! Blind Boy Paxton. Even black country singers like Charley Pride, or hell, even Darius Rucker. It’s just in the back of the American subconscious. We’re obsessed with the white guys who sound black, but rarely do we ever think about the black guys who sound white.
MJ: You don’t have to sound white to play this music.
DF: When you open up the book on what this stuff is, it baffles the mind, the social and political and psychology around what the music means and what it means to different people, you know?
MJ: If you could bring somebody from the past back for a front-porch jam session, who would it be?
DF: I’d either pick Henry Thomas or Papa Charlie Jackson. Just to kind of pick their brain and kind of see how they played, because you can listen to how they play and it takes a lot of work to figure out what they’re doing. And a lot of times with the old music, the actual playing of it isn’t as hard as it sounds. It’s one of those things where if you see it you can figure it out. But just hearing it—it’s meant to trick you aurally, because as performers you try to play music so that it sounds very impressive while you’re doing less work as a performer.
MJ: So does the band have any plans to go in new directions or are you just going to keep on keeping on?
DF: We’re gonna keep on keeping on. But this is the thing, too. Leaving Eden was our first chance to work with Hubby on stuff. But the newest configuration with Leyla, we really haven’t had a chance to delve into really new ground yet. We’ve had little touches here and there, but the group is going to continue to evolve and expand naturally. It’ll be interesting to see what we come up with.

I tried the Accor Hotels Food Festival tasting menu! - Racines at Sofi
"Omg, I am so underdressed," was the first thought that ran through my mind. A few of us were waiting outside of the restaurant, waiting for Maureen (Miss Tam Chiak - who is basically one of my idols) to arrive. A few days before, I had participated in an instagram competition for the upcoming Accor Hotels Food Festival. The stars somehow aligned and I was chosen to be one of the first peoples to taste the menu for the upcoming food festival.
Even though we went to three restaurants at three different hotels, the one that stuck with me the most was Racines at Sofitel Singapore City Centre. Situated on the 5th floor of the barely one month old hotel building, Racine glowed like a beautiful jewel boxed filled with wonderful pastries and fusion delights.
Took this from accorhotels.com because I was too paiseh to take pictures of the place #fail
The name of the restaurant, "Racines" came from the french word racine which means root. The restaurant wholly believes thats the food that are being served here are deeply rooted in the french food culture. But the interesting twist is that they are also deeply rooted in asian cuisine, which makes the dishes a delicious blend of the two cultures. Before we begin, I would also like to state that this is by far one of the bougiest place I've ever been to in Singapore. So be prepared for a lot of gushing on how pretty/ delicious the food were.
The head chef of Racines, Jean-Charles Dubois, started the journey by taking us through the tasting menu. Bonus: after further research I've just realised that I had tried his cooking before but in a different establishment, Balzac Brasserie, which used to be located near Rendezvous Hotel. I knew I've tasted that beef cheek somewhere before!
Carpaccio of Hokkaido Sea Scallops, House Made Tarama, Chive Oil and Grated Yuzu
It's easy to see why scallop carpaccio is one of the staples in french cuisine. Given the right batch of scallop and pairing, it is a simple dish that is jammed packed with umami. In Racines, this dish is paired with truly Japanese essences such as the tarama (fish roe pate) and grated yuzu. The tomatoes didn't only provide a burst of color, but also a sweetness that balances the whole dish together. Though it is cooked in the style of eastern France, the scallops are freshly flown from Hokkaido, Japan.
Traditional Lobster Bisque, Coral Oil, basil, Emmenental Ravioli and Micro Cress
This dish was introduced as one of the chef's special dishes. Like most french food, lobster bisque or lobster broth, is often very rich in butter and cream (#legend) This particular one hides an overwhelmingly delicious set of ravioli inside. Let's talk about the bisque first, because that thing is creamy as hell. But in a great and amazing way. It is heartwarming and tantalising all in one slurp. It was my first time tasting coral oil, which I suppose is why I couldn't place it at first. Coral Oil, it turns out is bougie AF, because "coral" is actually an unfertilised egg from the female lobster. The essence of it then become the coral oil. It's packed with same flavours of the egg roe, except intensified.
Once you dig into the bowl, and take a bite into one of the ravioli, a burst of cheesy emmenental goodness oozes out. The ravioli itself was done in a perfect al dente style, and had balance of chewy or softness to it.
Main - Wagyu Beef Cheek
48 Hour Slow-Cooked Wagyu Beef Cheek, Truffled Mashed Potatoes and Seasonal Greens
Here comes the star of the lunch, and as it turns also one of Chef Jean-Charles Dubois's specialty. Braised beef cheek is definitely known as a dish that is deeply rooted in french cuisine. This particular one has been marinated for 24 hours and then slow cooked for 12 hours. Slow cooking has been a trend in a lot of high end restaurants these days, mainly because the flavours are allowed to develop. As the cooking process takes place, complex chemical reaction changes the taste of the food. So the longer it cooks, the more complex the flavours become.
"Wah cut like butter leh!" Was the general response that the table had. And boy was it true. Little the zero effort was needed to cut through the meat, even though is was pretty much cooked well-done. The truffle mashed potatoes that it was paired with blew me away, because it was honestly one of the best mashed potatoes I've ever tried in my life. The creamy texture and rich flavours, paired so well with each bite of the beef cheek. The seasonal greens (carrots and asparagus) were blanched to perfection. It also helped that Racines is one of those restaurants that has its own garden and therefore the freshest greens.
Dessert - Red Bean
Azuki Bean Cream, Orange Peel, Mochi and Hand Made Green Tea Ice Cream
This dessert is easily one of the prettiest desserts I've ever tasted in my life. Wow, it's looks like a terrarium! lol A little dessert dessert garden. The green tea ice cream is of course the highlight. It's clearly homemade because its a perfect balance of bitter and sweet flavours. The base that everything sits on is also a green tea, but this time in gelatine form. It's decidedly bolder and bitter, but provides a perfect balance in the symphony of tastes.
Though azuki or red bean is an expected pairing for green tea ice cream, the one that surprised me the most is the orange mochi. Visually it looks kind of like the garden's rock. Inside of the mochi is a cool, orange filling , that is both sweet and bitter at the same time. It matched so well with the green tea flavour. It was clearly a fresh and delicious ending to the whole meal.
Racines is definitely hosts one of those lunches that will be hard to forget. I think the closest experience that I have to it will be the lunch that I had in Camelia Restaurant, Mandarin Oriental Paris. I will back Racines! And with their lunch set during the Accor Hotels Food Festival that is being held from the 4th - 12th November, it'll be even easier.

You could say I have somewhat gone "backwards" with presentation by providing prints with my standard and top packages. In a digital age, I think we are all starting to realise how important it is to print our photographs off rather than having them stay as just digital files forever. Whilst I realise that most clients do print off their photographs and put them up on their walls, there were always a few people that would just keep the digital files and never get round to doing anything with them. Bearing this in mind, at the beginning of 2016 I started to provide a print of each digital image with my standard and top packages. I do still continue to offer a basic package of a few digital images sent via email as a starting point, but almost everyone that books this package will go on to purchase a book or wall art from me aswell. There are of course exceptions to each situation, but I want to give these options to help keep my photography affordable to most that desire it.
My current packaging, which has evolved over the last 4 years, reflects my brand and natural style. Where possible I use natural and recycled materials, which compliment the natural beautiful photographs that are contained within them. I am always researching new ideas to add to my packaging and it seems to be constantly changing, but only slightly, and always in keeping with my style.
For information on my pricing and photography packages that I offer , please visit my maternity photography, newborn photography or baby photography sections on my website. Or for information about the additional products that I offer alongside my photography packages please visit my products section here.
Hi Samantha, I love your natural style of photography and wish I'd done some photoshoot with you when my son was a baby. I think your packaging is beautiful and fits very well with your natural style. I think it's important to provide prints of the photos too, even in our digital age I like to print and frame photos and display them around the house, however, even more important as parent with a newborn I'd also like to give some prints away to grandparents and family so this is a great idea and the USB stick too. Well done for your beautiful photographs and packaging!
I think that it is great that you offer both options. When we got married having photos on disc was still quite new but we really wanted both. Photos to look at in an album but also to have playing as a slideshow if we want to.
I couldn't agree more. For our wedding I bought a disc only from the photographer as I wanted to design my own album the way that I wanted to , but it took me 4 years! ooooops!
I love this and think it is so lovely to provide prints! I have tried to ensure that every year, around the time of my kids birthday, I print off the best pictures we've taken from that year and do an album! I have to admit the last few years I've not done it, but this has reminded me of how important it is to print pictures and not just store them digitally!
What a great idea Debbie. I used to also do this, but since I had 2 children I just can't seem to find time anymore. I managed to make a summer holiday book 2 years ago, and plan to do something similar this year, or a years round up.
Hi Samantha I just wanted to say that LOVE the way you package your photographs. Receiving a package of yours in the post must be such a lovely 'experience'!!!
You are so right about printing. We had a messy photo shot a few years ago and I LOVE the photos but they are all on the laptop instead of the wall which is a shame.
Whilst reinterpreting classic design values, Selar represents a timeless, fully featured masculine collection, radiating confidence and personality. Created with an aspirational eye for detail, this Made in Europe collection, intensively uses durable materials and sublime finishings, triggering a luxurious, tailor-made feeling.

obstacles must be covered by fire and here is this massive minefield being put down and you can’t cover it by fire. I mean by cover it by fire it means you can actually see the obstacle to cover it by fire and what was happening, the enemy were coming in at night, lifting the mines and then laying them and then the next day our diggers would step on the mine and we lost three or four officers. We lost Bob Milligan, we lost an FO [Forward Observer], we lost a Major Bourne, the
company commander, we lost young Chris Rinkin, a platoon commander. We lost soldiers and they were our mines that the bad guys had lifted through the night and then brought back in and planted where they knew that we were going to operate to extend the fence. I thought it was a hair-brain idea, a stupid idea and well even at the time I was disgusted. I mean I’m still disgusted with it because I thought you know here’s something they teach you in officer cadet school as one of the principles of laying obstacles is
to cover it by fire and here is a guy that’s ostensibly you know a very competent commander who orders this minefield to be laid and I thought it was just an absolute hair-brain idea. Absolutely stupid. So what we used to do was to try and deny the enemy from coming and lifting more minefields. We would go out and ambush at night to stop them from coming in and yeah one night we were out there and we got into a fairly major fire fight.
Yeah, no we found a track and you could see by the Ho Chi Minh sandal marks that it had a fair amount of use and also we had some pretty good intelligence because there was a village south of the minefield which had been attacked several times. So I set an ambush and again, when you’re at Portsea and when you’re in infantry training centre they teach you to lay linear, what we call linear ambushes.
They’re ambushes in a straight line where you’ve got a sentry on one end, a sentry on the other. You’ve got a rendezvous at the back but they’re in a straight line. I never used to do that. I used to set what’s called a triangle ambush where I’d have a straight line on the killing ground but then I’d have my flanks protected and I’d have one gun facing down that track, one gun facing down that track and a gun behind and then in the front centre was my headquarter group and thankfully I did that, because it was about,
