Inspired by the beauty and bounty of the southwest, Logan Sligar and Ryan Springer had a brainstorm: to make a spirit out of the prickly pear cactus. After a meeting with Goods & Services, a new kind of vodka brand — and a beautiful partnership — was born.
Working with hand blown glass, we imbued the bottle with the qualities of a rich and deep local heritage. We designed a label to emulate the high desert mountain range of the area so that it felt authentic and born of the region. And then combined it all to suggest elements of both the tequila and vodka notes of the spirit itself.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Chinese nationals have been indicted on charges they manufactured tons of fentanyl and other powerful narcotics that were then peddled in the United States, killing at least four people and seriously injuring five others, Justice Department officials announced Tuesday.
Authorities said the men controlled one of the most prolific international drug-trafficking organizations, but with no extradition treaty with China, the chances are slim they will ever be brought to the U.S. to face the charges.
The men, who are not in custody, are accused of separately running chemical labs in China that produced the drug and other illegal opioids for sale online to Americans who were often unaware of its potency and susceptible to overdose. At least 21 other people were also indicted on charges they trafficked the drugs across the U.S. and Canada, often through the U.S. mail.
The announcement comes as the Trump administration suffered a setback in its efforts to call attention to the nation's drug crisis. Its nominee to be the nation's drug czar withdrew Tuesday from consideration following reports that he played a key role in weakening the federal government's authority to stop companies from distributing opioids.
It also comes amid growing pressure on President Donald Trump to fulfill his pledge to declare the nation's opioid epidemic a "national emergency," as a commission he's convened on the subject has urged him to do. An initial report from the commission in July noted that the approximate 142 deaths each day from drug overdoses mean the death toll is "equal to September 11th every three weeks."
A sign of White House interest in the issue, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway quietly attended Tuesday's news conference at the Justice Department.
Robert W. Patterson, acting administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, said the Chinese case represents "one of the most significant drug threats facing the country" because they were able to produce a wide array of synthetic drugs and hide their tracks with web-based sales, international shipments and digital currencies like bitcoin.
The Chinese men indicted were Xiaobang Yan, 40, and Jian Zhang, 38, who worked separately but similarly, authorities said.
Yan, who operated at least two chemical plants in China that were capable of producing tons of fentanyl, would monitor drug legislation and law enforcement actions in the U.S., changing the chemical structure of his drugs to avoid prosecution, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said. A 2013 traffic stop in Mississippi unearthed a domestic drug ring linked to Yan.
Zhang, along with five Canadians, two people from Florida and New Jersey man, were indicted in North Dakota for conspiracy to import the drugs from Canada and China. Prosecutors say Zhang ran at least four labs and sold the drug to American customers online. Investigators became aware of him after police officers responded to a deadly overdose in Grand Forks, North Dakota and traced the supply chain, officials said.
Rosenstein, who discussed the problem with Chinese officials last week during a high-level dialogue on law enforcement and cybersecurity, would not say whether the labs have been shut down. He said he was hopeful Chinese authorities would hold the men accountable.
Federal authorities are increasingly warning of the dangers of fentanyl, which can be lethal even in small amounts and is often laced with other dangerous drugs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that more than 20,000 Americans were killed by the drug and its analogues in 2016, and the number is rising, Rosenstein said.

Residents of Illinois and the Midwest in general can relate to the drastic turns in weather that can occur from day-to-day or week-to-week, especially in the spring.
Wet springs are often the norm and make life difficult on Athletic Directors and coaches trying to schedule outdoor sports.
That fact is no different for the IHSA State Tournaments, with the need to play contests at the Regional, Sectional, Super-Sectional and State Final rounds during an 18-day span.
From the Regional Quarterfinals to the State Championships, there are approximately 1,200 baseball and softball games played in that span to complete the state tourneys in all four classes.
The story from a 1960 edition of the Chicago Tribune pictured to the right reads:
"The toss of a coin Saturday resolved a prep baseball foul-up resulting from Chicago’s foul weather.
After trying for three days to play off their final regional game in the annual state tournament, and prevented from doing so by rain and wet grounds, Maine East’s defending state champions and Highland Park’s challengers agreed to toss a coin.
Maine East won the toss. “But,” said Coach Glen Van Proyen, “Our boys weren’t at all happy over it. They felt sorry for Highland Park, which has a very fine team but, because of the beastly weather, lost out on the toss of a coin and never had a chance to show what it can do.”
Highland Park is the pace setter in the strong Suburban league on a record of nine victories and two losses. As a result of the “victory”, Maine East advances to the Rockford sectional...(story cuts off)"

Original British Brown Bess Naval Marine Flintlock Musket circa 1800 Marked - H.M.S. AFRICA
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fascinating Third Model Brown Bess Musket with standard 39-inch long barrel and a .75-inch bore. The stock is walnut, mounts are all brass, and trigger guard has a "ball" front projection indicating that the musket was built for the Royal Navy. The lock is marked with a Crown over G.R. and reads "Tower" across the tail. The musket shows use but is in overall a very good display condition.
The barrel bears the engraving H.M.S. AFRICA which was a 64-gun warship built in 1781 at Depford near London. It's most memorable action was at The Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 when commanded by Captain Henry Digby. Of the compliment of 498 men, eight were killed during the engagement and forty four wounded. H.M.S. Africa was broken up in 1814.
A jolly interesting British Naval Brown Bess Musket that may have seen service during Britain's most famous Naval victory.

A Google self-driving car.
Amazon and UPS are looking into package delivery via automated flying drones. But, according to the New York Times, Google’s recent interest in robotics lays out an interesting hypothetical situation: imagine a self-driving car pulling up in your driveway, and a robot getting out to deliver your package instead of a living, breathing UPS human bedecked in brown.
While Google’s self-driving cars are anything but common right now, there’s overwhelming evidence to suggest the technology is realistic enough to one day seem safe and suitable to the public satisfaction.
And while the programming and intelligence necessary for a robot to make the walk from its autonomous car to your door while carrying your packages doesn’t yet exist, it’s far more likely that the engineers and roboticists at work on these types of problems will be able to solve them before Amazon’s drones ever take to the skies with the government’s blessing.
Don’t agree? Nevada and Florida already legalized autonomous cars and legislation is underway in Michigan and California (Colorado’s proposed legislation wasn’t successfully passed). While the legal side of the self-driving car story is already underfoot, commercial drone certification isn’t even slated to begin until 2020. Pair this with rapidly developing branches of robotics such as machine learning, and it seems like the robot delivery guy will beat the robot delivery helicopter to your door.

After being permanently banned from Twitter, Kangana Ranaut is using Instagram to express her views on the ongoing crisis. Commenting on the Israel- Palestine conflict Kangana Ranaut extended support to Israel on Instagram story. Her islamophobic comments were slammed by many including Pakistani actors.
After being permanently banned from Twitter, Kangana Ranaut is using Instagram to express her views on the ongoing crisis.
Commenting on the Israel- Palestine conflict, which escalated after Israeli armed forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque in Haram esh-Sharif in Jerusalem on the last Friday of Ramzan leaving several Palestinians dead and injured, Kangana Ranaut extended support to Israel on Instagram story. Her islamophobic comments were slammed by many including Pakistani actors.
"To save your nation and its people from radical Islamic terrorism is the fundamental right of every nation, India stands with Israel," she wrote.
"Those who think terrorism should be replied with dharna must learn from Israel. They will spread terrorism, if you respond strongly they will cry foul become victims if you do just dharna then they will blast your parliament and five-star hotels also, this is radical Islamic terrorism for you," she added.
Pakistani actress Maya Ali and actor Muneeb Butt condemned her statements and criticized her.
"I feel sorry for you. Get well soon Kangana Ranaut. One should have some humanity," wrote Maya Ali.
"To sick Kangana, shabash (kudos). Modi, RSS and the right-wing activists inspired by the worst Nazi regime would school us. I wonder how much she is being paid by the BJP government to distract their people from Covid disaster their country is facing because of Modi's incompetence as a PM," wrote Muneeb Butt.
Several other people on Twitter also criticized her.
Does this birdbrain, pathetic and islamophobic #KanganaRanaut know what exactly terrorism is? During the holiest night of Ramadan, Laylat-al-Qadar 300 worshippers were relentlessly injured and to this moron those unarmed worshippers were brutal terrorists. Wow. #isrealterrorist pic.twitter.com/oFqJjbNag7

Dive into the captivating tapestry of Ethiopian history with “Visions of Ethiopia: Exploring a Nation’s Past Through Art and Storytelling” by Alula Pankhurst, a renowned historian specializing in East African cultural heritage. This exceptional work transcends conventional historical narratives by intertwining captivating visual representations – paintings, sculptures, and traditional artifacts – with meticulously researched accounts and compelling oral histories.
Imagine embarking on a journey through time, guided by the evocative brushstrokes of Ethiopian artists who captured the essence of their nation across centuries. From the ancient Aksumite Empire’s monumental obelisks to the vibrant iconography adorning medieval churches, “Visions of Ethiopia” unveils a visual feast that speaks volumes about the cultural complexities and artistic ingenuity of this fascinating land.
The book masterfully weaves together these artistic expressions with insightful historical analyses, illuminating the pivotal events, societal transformations, and enduring traditions that have shaped Ethiopia’s identity.
Unveiling Historical Layers: Pankhurst delves into key periods in Ethiopian history, such as:
- The Aksumite Empire (circa 1st-7th centuries AD) - a powerful trading kingdom renowned for its monumental architecture, including the iconic stelae of Axum, and its embrace of Christianity.
- The Zagwe dynasty (circa 12th-13th centuries) – credited with building the magnificent rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, a testament to their architectural prowess and unwavering faith.
- The Solomonic dynasty (circa 13th century onwards) - which traced its lineage back to the biblical King Solomon, influencing Ethiopia’s unique cultural identity and religious practices.
Art as a Window into Ethiopian Culture: “Visions of Ethiopia” emphasizes how artistic expressions serve as powerful lenses through which we can understand Ethiopian culture:
- Religious Iconography: The book explores the rich symbolism embedded in Ethiopian religious art, reflecting deep spiritual beliefs and traditions.
- Courtly Portraits:
Exquisite paintings depict emperors and nobles adorned with elaborate costumes and regalia, offering glimpses into the hierarchy and splendor of court life. * Everyday Life Scenes: Illustrations capture scenes from everyday Ethiopian life – market vendors, farmers tending their crops, and families gathered for meals – providing a glimpse into the societal norms and practices of different eras.
Production Features and Impact:
Published by the renowned Addis Ababa University Press, “Visions of Ethiopia” is meticulously crafted with high-quality illustrations and captivating textual descriptions. The book’s bilingual format, presenting text in both English and Amharic (Ethiopia’s official language), ensures accessibility to a wider audience.
Pankhurst’s meticulous research and scholarly insights make this work invaluable for historians, anthropologists, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of Ethiopian culture. “Visions of Ethiopia” not only provides historical context but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the artistic expressions that have shaped Ethiopia’s identity across millennia.
Beyond Text: Engaging with Ethiopian Art
Artwork Category | Description | Historical Significance |
Aksumite Stelae | Tall, intricately carved obelisks marking royal graves and commemorating significant events. | Represent the Aksumite Empire’s architectural prowess and complex religious beliefs. |
Lalibela Rock-Hewn Churches | Remarkable subterranean churches carved from solid rock, showcasing masterful engineering skills and spiritual devotion. | Attributed to the Zagwe dynasty and exemplify their commitment to faith and artistic innovation. |
The Enduring Legacy of “Visions of Ethiopia”
Pankhurst’s work serves as a testament to the power of art to illuminate history and bridge cultural divides. “Visions of Ethiopia” is not simply a historical account; it is an immersive experience, inviting readers to embark on a captivating journey through time and culture. Through its evocative illustrations and insightful narratives, the book celebrates the enduring legacy of Ethiopian art while fostering a deeper understanding of this extraordinary nation’s history and cultural heritage.

In urban areas, pedestrians and cycle users are particularly at risk on the roads. In inner London between 2013 and 2015, 54% of all road traffic fatalities were pedestrians, and 17% were cycle users. In 2020, there were 141 cyclists killed on UK roads.
Updates to the Highway Code, which came into force on 29 January 2022 and apply to England, Scotland and Wales, attempt to address the dangers road travel poses to people walking, cycling and horse riding.
What stands out most is a new hierarchy of road users. This has been introduced to ensure those who can do the greatest harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger or threat they may pose to others.
Pedestrians are at the top of this hierarchy. This means that, for example, cycle users should give way to pedestrians on shared paths, and drivers turning into or out of a road should give way to pedestrians waiting at the kerb to cross this road.
The UK government states that the Highway Code is essential reading – and the changes are a valuable step in the right direction. However, the question remains how far these changes will result in shifts in behaviour.
Freedom from fear
In my research, I have looked at how we can consider road safety through the lens of ethics – how we can live together without doing harm.
Here the writings of 18th century philosopher and politician Edmund Burke can help us. Burke used the phrase “the equality of restraint” when discussing the legal and social institutions required by a society. This means that the laws and other measures which seem to limit an individual’s freedom actually create an environment in which more people can live freely. Equal restraint ensures that my freedom does not restrict yours, and vice versa.
If we apply this to the Highway Code, the new hierarchy of road users, while placing more restraints on drivers, has the potential to create an environment in which other road users can enjoy freedom from fear. It makes clearer the responsibility of those with the ability to inflict most harm.
More considerate behaviour by those able to cause most harm would include greater compliance to speed limits, willingness to give way to other road users, and giving greater space to cycle users when overtaking.
The changes to the code could affect how people act on roads. For instance, pedestrians may assert their right to cross a side road and drivers may be willing to give way.
This requires awareness of the changes among drivers and vulnerable road users. The UK government intends to launch media campaigns starting in February 2022.
Changes in behaviour are also affected by how far all road users perceive the risk of prosecution for infringements. The changes introduce new advisory measures that are not legal requirements, but could be drawn upon in court proceedings.
How careful road users are in following the Highway Code may be influenced by whether courts of law are willing to make clear judgements supporting the hierarchy. In addition, wide publicity of such decisions by media networks will also encourage the adoption of this behaviour.
A behaviour change process requires a lot of steps, and there is little certainty that the changes in the Highway Code will lead away from the current “might is right” pattern of behaviour which sees motor vehicles take priority.
The range of steps that can be taken to change behaviour relating to public health is laid out in the “ladder of interventions” introduced by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. The steps range from the least intrusive option – doing nothing or monitoring a situation – to the most intrusive: measures that entirely eliminate choice.
The Ladder of Interventions

Arguably, the new Highway Code does little more than provide information. If it works well at making vulnerable road users safer then maybe, at best, it enables choice. This could mean that more people choose to walk and cycle for local trips because drivers have adapted their behaviour to reflect the ambitions of the Highway Code.
However, that is probably too optimistic as driver behaviour is likely to be subconscious and a matter of ingrained habit. Road users may consider the theoretical risk of successful prosecution too unlikely to influence their behaviour.
The changes to the Highway Code are marginal and limited, but they are a necessary step on any road to improve road safety for the most vulnerable. In reality, wide reaching changes – such as default 20mph speed limits in settlements, school street closures and the segregation of different modes of transport such as bicycles and cars are needed to truly create a hierarchy of road users.

Wei Qian lost to opponents from Romania and Czechia in the first and last rounds of the Korea Prime Minister Cup, but in between he ran off four straight wins to score the second highest finish in the lower McMahon group. He was in the middle of his winning streak when he consented to an interview with Ranka. Here’s his story:
I was born in Shanghai, and I learned to play go because my mother thought it would be good for my mind. She arranged to have me coached. This was during the cultural revolution, when we weren’t able to study normal school subjects, and I found go quite interesting. It was the one interesting thing I could do at the time.
After the cultural revolution ended, I stopped playing go and studied hard to get a university education: first a bachelor’s degree in China and then a masters degree in electrical engineering in Australia. In Australia I played in local go clubs, and then when Pandanet started up I started playing on the net. Back in those days you had to buy the software, not like today when everything is free. But I bought it because go had become part of my life, something that was always with me.
I think go has helped me in my life. I work for a company that makes commercial refrigerating systems. I have to solve many problems in my work, and the go approach has helped me out. It teaches you to look for another way of doing something.
I played once for Australia in the World Amateur Go Championship, and also in the first Korea Prime Minister Cup. I’ve played in some Australian tournaments too, but mainly I teach kids. I live in Sydney. I have a small group of five or six kids who come to my home every Sunday, including my son, who is now ten. They’re still kyu-level players. The strongest is about three or four kyu.
Go is looking up in Austrialia. Compared with ten years ago, there are more tournaments, and a lot more young people are starting to play. I’m really too old to come here–now I just play for fun–but I came this time so that I could also visit my family in China. I’d like to encourage other people to come in the future.

The 2020 off-season brought a lot of challenges to esports orgs across the globe who were fighting hard to shift their rosters and coaching staffs around amidst a global crisis. In general, COVID has been handled relatively well in many regions, and especially in China, where Riot Games was able to put on an in-person World Championship, including a live-audience for the Finals. In NA, and particularly Los Angeles, however, COVID response has not gone well. Over the holidays, there were often 15,000 new cases a day, and a second COVID strain has already been found in southern California.
Though teams and Riot have taken precautionary measures, COVID still found its way into the LCS. Roughly a week before the LCS pre-season tournament, the LCS 2021 Lock-In, Counter Logic Gaming had multiple members on its professional League team catch COVID. We spoke with CLG League of Legends GM, Daniel "Tafokints" Lee, about the team's current status, both concerning player and staff health and their visa situation that has caused some changes in their roster.
Prior to one of the CLG members testing positive, CLG was practicing at their facility due to an increase in quality of practice. At the office, not only are the members all together in a face-to-face environment, but they also have lower ping and a better overall infrastructure than when the players and staff are at home. Because they met at the facility, the team "tested frequently," and once one person tested positive, they "instantly shut down everything."
"We put everyone in quarantine that may have been exposed, and from there everyone started practicing at home," Tafo told us. He further explained that the affected players and staff aren't being hospitalized based on how their current symptoms have presented. Additionally, COVID isn't directly affecting CLG's roster for the Lock-In outside of the slowdown of visa processing due to the pandemic. "There's not anyone that's unable to play [due to] direct illnesses... Everyone is playing and scrimming."
They do, however, have two additional substitutes for the time being. Finn "Finn" Wiestål and Mads "Broxah" Brock-Pedersen are both still waiting for their visa approval and CLG has brought on two temporary subs for the time being. Colin "Solo" Earnest will play top until Finn's arrival. He is in the Global Contract Database until Jan. 25, which would see him on the team until the completion of the Lock In Quarterfinals. If Finn arrives sooner, Tafo explained that he may play when ready, but until then, they have Solo as their LCS starter. CLG did not promote their former Academy top laner, Alexey "rjs" Zatorski (formerly Deus), because he is moving to mid and reacclimating himself to that role. "To get him more comfortable in his new position, we didn't feel it was right to keep him top lane," Tafo explained.
Additionally, CLG signed Ryan "Keel" Keel (formerly FrostyNomad) to play jungle for their Academy roster as they await Broxah's visa. They will be temporarily promoting Raymond "Griffin" Griffin (formerly Wiggily) to play for the LCS. Their LCS starting roster will consist of Solo, Griffin, Eugene "Pobelter" Park, Jason "WildTurtle" Tran, and Andy "Smoothie" Ta until Finn and Broxah each arrive. Keel's contract is set to expire March 15, an additional month and a half longer than Solo's. Keel participated in the 2019 NA Scouting Grounds, but has not played professionally yet. He has played in the amateur league, however, placing second in the Upsurge Premier League last Fall.
"We're still practicing and still performing, so please look forward to our Lock In performance!"
CLG Lock-In roster:
- Solo (temporary sub), Finn upon arrival
- Griffin (temporarily promoted from Academy), Broxah upon arrival

3 Rules Regarding “House calls” For Electrical Businesses
Written by Uwe on January 21, 2015As an electrical business owner you’ll have to visit your customers at their homes. House Calls are when your customer calls you and wants you to repair electrical items at their home. Sometimes it’s known as a “call out”.
However, visiting someone at home is a sensitive matter. Most people work during your business working hours so you’ll need to arrange a time when both of you are available. Others are extremely careful about who they let into their homes.
So let’s look at how to deal with these concerns:
- Keep your customer informed. No one likes endless waiting, so give your customers a time window when you’re going to come. If you’re running late let them know
- Have a neat register book. When the client calls you to order your services ask them for the following information: name, telephone, address, make, model and size of the item that needs to be repaired, details of when the client is at home. Your register book that you always carry with you should have separate sections for these information
- Behave in a professional way. Most people don’t like letting random people into their house, including electricians. By wearing a uniform and being polite you’ll gain their trust. Asking simple questions such as whether you can come in with shoes can make you the best electrician in town
House calls are and will be a significant part of your business. Having these things mentioned above in mind will let your business be on top of the game.

Mexican food favourite Zambrero and That Dumpling Place are the latest entries to Ipswich Central and will provide perfect options for lunch and dinner.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said it was exciting to see more businesses open in the precinct, creating local jobs and interest from Mexican and Asian food lovers.
“I am thrilled to see Zambrero open their doors on Wednesday 3 August, joining the recently opened That Dumpling Place and Gelatissimo, who hit the ground running with their ice cream and dessert offerings when they first opened last month,” Mayor Harding said.
“The Nicholas Street Precinct is coming alive. This is just the start of more eateries, restaurants, cafes, bars and retail stores opening right across the CBD.
“This is another positive sign that innovative thinkers are backing the Ipswich Central revival.
“The precinct is providing new opportunities for businesses as well as giving residents more places to dine, shop and meet friends close to home.”
Ipswich Central Redevelopment Committee Chairperson and Division 3 Councillor Marnie Doyle said the community was delighted to see these businesses open for trading in the redeveloped Nicholas Street Precinct.
“Gelatissimo has proved very popular since its opening and with a variety of interesting eateries about to launch, the Nicholas Street Precinct is offering more taste choices for the Ipswich community,” Cr Doyle said.
“Zambrero and That Dumpling Place will bring a real buzz to the area and will soon be joined by Sushi Hyo. We look forward to sharing more fabulous news about additional new tenants in the precinct soon.”
That Dumpling Place enjoyed a “soft” opening at the weekend selling more than 3,000 dumplings and from this week will be cooking up a storm with its juicy northern Chinese style dumplings and steamed pork and Chinese cabbage dumplings among the specialities.
Zambrero is also expected to announce a huge giveaway to celebrate its opening.
Jeremy O’Neill, head of Corporate Restaurant Development for Zambrero, said the company was very excited to be opening in the heart of Ipswich in the new Nicholas Street Precinct.
“Our Zambrero Ipswich CBD restaurant will be our third restaurant within the City of Ipswich, further supporting our Zambrero Bundamba restaurant and our Zambrero Yamanto Drive Thru which really highlights our commitment to providing the local community delicious feel-good Mex, and truly the best burrito in town,” Mr O’Neill said.
“The new Nicholas Street Precinct was an obvious choice for Zambrero, with our burritos and bowls being the perfect option for a busy office worker on their lunch break, or families coming to the city to enjoy the precinct and needing a fantastic meal.
“Our doors open on Wednesday 3 August at 10.30am, and we are proud to say we have employed an additional 20-plus Ipswich locals to join the team.
“In the coming weeks we plan to celebrate with our grand opening, where we will be giving away 1000 free burritos, details will be posted on our socials soon.”

YANGON — The Chin State government has issued a public warning against picking Rhododendron flowers and hunting wildlife across the state.
Rhododendrons, which sprout the state flower, grow mainly in the townships of Mindat, Matupi, Falam and Tedim. Chin State Chief Minister Salai Lian Luai said his government has banned the cutting of Rhododendron tree branches and the picking of its flowers as well as hunting wildlife, a traditional source of livelihood for hill tribes in the state and beyond for centuries.
“The state counselor [Daw Aung San Suu Kyi] has instructed us to conserve Rhododendron flowers. Now hornbills are on the verge of extinction. We will take action in line with existing laws if there are violations,” he said.
Rhododendrons bloom in December and January, and Chin residents are not happy that visitors pick the flowers and cut its branches. Recent photos of some visitors cutting off Rhododendron branches drew criticism after spreading on social media.
“The Chin State government has sought comment from the state Advocate General’s Office on imposing the official ban,” said Mang Hen Dal, state minister of agriculture, livestock, forestry and mines.
He said violators would be punished under the Forestry Law and the Wildlife and Conservation of Natural Areas Law.

NBA Finalise Hornets Buy-Out
December 21, 2010
A deal has now been completed which has seen the New Orleans Hornets become the first ever National Basketball Association (NBA) side to be owned by the league itself. The NBA’s acquisition of the team has long been suspected but is now finalised after previous owner George Shinn was forced to sell the franchise due to financial troubles.
The NBA will run the side until a new owner can be found after New Orleans native, Jac Sperling was placed in charge of finding the right buyer. It is believed that as a local man himself, Sperling is focusing his attentions on keeping the side in New Orleans which is also the incentive for an amalgamation of local business owners calling themselves the Hornets’ Business Council.
The group have been attempting to boost home ticket sales to prevent the side from relocating, though the Hornets still have the third lowest attendance in the league. Shinn founded the Hornets himself in 1988 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He then relocated the club to New Orleans in 2002 where they play at the New Orleans Arena.

We investigate the local effects of trade exposure and immigration on voting behavior in France from 1988 to 2022. We use the content of each candidate's manifesto to construct an anti-globalization voting index for each French presidential election. This index shows a significant increase in the anti-globalization positions of candidates, and a growing anti-globalization vote beyond the far right. We show that increasing local exposure to import competition and immigration increases anti-globalization votes, while increasing export exposure reduces them. We also find that imports have different effects depending on the products imported. While exposure to imports of final goods increases anti-globalization voting, exposure to imports of intermediate goods reduces it.

We tend to think of time as a point that moves on a line forward into the future, with everything in the past backwards along that line.
This becomes even more obvious when you think about how we talk about time, using words like forward and backward, long and short, but never narrow or wide, or deep or shallow.
Thinking about time in “forward and backward” terms makes it one dimensional, just like a line, by definition — but I would suggest time can have width and depth too.
Instead of a line, picture a box, with “L”, “W”, and “H” dimensions. Of course, the narrow/wide and deep/shallow concepts would be the “W” and “H” dimensions of the box.
If time has all three of those dimensions, the “L” obviously represents the future vs. the past, the “W” could be the various possibilities for what you can do at each moment, and “H” could be engagement with and immersion in each moment as you travel through it.
This idea occurred to me one day recently when I was having a crisis where time stands still, and you are only focused on the present moment and whatever feelings emotions are flowing through you, and nothing else matters for a little while.
We’ve all been through it, with both good and bad emotions.
Maybe this is stupid. Or maybe not. I just know that the “one dimensional” thing seems inadequate.

Mickey Mathews, a native of Flint, Michigan, and a 1933 graduate of Michigan Normal College (today’s Eastern Michigan U), met his best friend Frank Tuttle in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1941. Mickey flew to Hawaii in early 1941 seeking story about possible Japanese espionage at Pearl Harbor, and Major Tuttle, a G-2 expert, had just retired after a 30-year career in the Army.
By 1945, Mickey and Frank had met President Franklin D. Roosevelt on a handful of occasions, first when they were investigating a murder and Nazi threats at the Bomber Plant in Willow Run, Michigan, in 1943. Later, in a book set in early 1945, Mickey detailed the efforts of him, Frank, and Tommy Jefferson in handling death threats against the President and what resulted at FDR’s retreat in Georgia.
FDR at his Warm Springs Retreat
What follows is an excerpt from Warm Springs Mystery (From Chapter 12: “Visiting Roosevelt”):
Out of the van stepped a tall man with a mustache wearing a white uniform topped by a blue baseball cap. Smiling, he was carrying a small box of baked goods. He said something to Goldberg, but his words were too faint to be heard.
Mickey stood up straight, watching the two men. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Frank lean down and pull his .45 from its ankle holster. The former major held his right arm with the weapon behind his back. The hair on the back of Mickey’s neck stood up.
Goldberg came within a step of the gray-haired man, and suddenly the driver dropped the bread and pulled a large knife. Raising his right arm, he stabbed the agent in the shoulder. It happened in a flash, but Ted saw the knife coming and tried to dodge, or he would have been knifed in the chest. As he saw the stabbing, Mickey realized the assailant had to be Wilkes. Frank had his weapon raised and pointed, but he didn’t shoot, not at that range.
Mickey knew Frank would kill the attacker when he got close enough. As those thoughts raced through his mind, Tommy moved to meet the attacker, his big fists doubled. Mickey realized the burly onetime Golden Glover was risking his life.
Wilkes was halfway to the porch. Goldberg had rolled over, drawn his weapon, and aimed it at the man’s back. Realizing he had no shot without the chance of hitting one of the men on the porch, he yelled, “He’s got dynamite!”
Even as Ted yelled, Wilkes moved his left hand from behind his back. He was holding a stick of dynamite rigged with a fuse. With the other hand he drew a long-barreled .22 caliber pistol from his belt, raised it, and fired. The barrel spit blue flame, but no sound followed. The bullet hit Tommy in the right shoulder, and he winced…
Reacting, Mickey ran toward Tommy, knowing Frank had no clear shot with their friend on the sidewalk. As Tommy got within three feet of the attacker, he feinted and slammed a right fist to the jaw. Wilkes, stunned, staggered for a few moments. Again he raised his pistol. Before he could fire, the former boxer landed a left to the side of Wilkes’ face. Again he staggered, and this time he groaned. In a flash Mickey’s right fist chopped down on the shooter’s gun hand.
Wilkes screamed, dropping the pistol. But quickly he whipped out a cigarette lighter and flicked it. For an instant the wavering flame made his dark eyes glow. His pallid features and his clenched teeth helped give him the look of a dead man…
Wilkes was focused on Tommy, a black man unafraid of him. Mickey heard Tommy say, “Old man, you’re a coward!”

Create Your Own Story
In this final activity, you will have the opportunity to create your own front-page news story on a modern-day example of investigative journalism. Conduct some outside research using investigative news sites like ProPublica, Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, and Frontline, or newspapers that have investigative news departments.
Choose a topic in which investigative journalism helped to further transparency on the issue, and write a short article about it. You may want to think about a major event that happened recently that caught the public’s attention and included evidence that involved some type of investigation or digging into the event.
- Answer the following question in your piece: How did investigative techniques used by the journalist strengthen the story?
- Choose one of the drawings in the carousel made at the time of Watergate and link it back to your piece in some way—be creative!
- Research two or three articles on your topic using reliable news sources that you have used in class or your teacher recommends.
As you write your article, keep the following in mind:
- Length: 2–3 paragraphs.
- Include basic facts (who, what, where, when, why, how).
- Decide which news format you would like to use, newspaper or website.
- Give your article a title and add a headline (a good headline catches the reader’s attention in some way).

Neptune’s role in The Program is deeply veiled, working below the surface of the Gate at the genetic level; while at the surface, this planet puts forth an illusion, a glamour, that is often misinterpreted by the mind and the collective unconscious and filled with misinformation and misdirection.
Once we can cut through the illusion, and see behind the veil, Neptune can reveal deep mystical truth. Neptune’s role in our personal Design is to provide what is hidden, what is beneath the surface. It is the planet of deep mutation and provides data that is not logical or linear, that is not to be figured out, but experienced. This planet represents the continuity and depths of the genetic pool.
Examples of how Neptunian changes can be seen at the surface over the past 10 years:
Since 2007, Neptune has prepared the way in which the Solar Plexus mutation and these Gates will operate. It is literally preparing the way for Pluto’s next mutation. Just as Aaron prepared the way for Moses, John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus, and Channa cleared the way for Buddha—every teacher has someone to help pave the way for the world to receive something new—this is how Neptune is preparing the way for Pluto’s mutation.
When we look at Gate 49 and Gate 55, we see there is a chemistry involved that is unique to these two gates: the chemistry of Histidine, which is the catalyst for the upcoming changes in these Gate energies. Histidine, as a building block for the body, protects the nerves’ myelin sheaths. It is the chemical of sexual arousal and produces the red flushing of the skin and swelling of sexual excitement. It signals allergic reactions in the immune system, triggering the release of histamines. In other words, when Histidine begins to mutate, changes will impact the functioning of our nervous system, of sexual arousal and fertility, and produce an increase in allergic responses.
It is also significant to look at the oppositions in the wheel for Gates 49 and 55, as the gate oppositions are significant in the Sun and Earth transits, as well as nodal oppositions. Gate 49’s opposition is with Gate 4, Gate 55’s opposition is Gate 59. As Neptune mutates Gate 49 beneath the surface, the answers found in Gate 4 are changing; and as Gate 55 mutates beneath the surface, human fertility found in Gate 59 is changing as well.
(Neptune & Pluto Gate Entry Dates - Click image to view full size)
The transformation of our sexual roles and fertility has been well documented since the 1960s as we entered the last line of the global cycle of the Cross of Planning. We can chart the changes in the nuclear family, the declining birth rate in many countries, and the inclusivity of same-sex marriages and gender fluidity. However, the increase in momentum in the past 10 years is significant, and potentially related to Neptune’s mutative work.
Perhaps the most significant recent data on our fertility is that according to the CDC, there are now more children born to parents over the age of 30 than to parents in their twenties in the US. The genetic imperative is weakening as adults are finding education, work and lifestyle choices more appealing than becoming parents at a young age; and many are choosing not to reproduce at all. This has added significance as a recent UK study shows incidence of autism in children is higher if at least one parent is over the age of 35.
Children born with Neptune in Gate 49 will be 20 years old in 2027. These children will carry that genetic mutation in their blood and pass on their genetics to their children and grandchildren; we are looking at the first generation that will have the potential to be the parents and grandparents of the Rave.

Unvaccinated Quebec Horse Tests Positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis: A Call for Vigilance
A recent case in Quebec underscores the critical need for vaccination against Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a fatal mosquito-borne illness that can decimate equine and human populations.
The Alarming Case in Quebec
In late August, a 5-year-old unvaccinated Miniature Horse mare in Montérégie, Quebec, was diagnosed with EEE after exhibiting severe neurological symptoms. Despite best efforts, the horse was euthanized due to the severity of its condition.
This isn't an isolated incident. Two other unvaccinated horses in Quebec also tested positive for EEE around the same time, one in MRC Thérèse-De Blainville and the other in MRC Haut-Saint-Laurent. Both were euthanized following the development of severe neurological signs like fever, recumbency, ataxia, and altered mental states.
Understanding Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)
The EEE virus, naturally harbored by wild birds, is transmitted through bites from infected mosquitoes. While direct transmission from horses to humans or other animals is impossible, the virus is highly fatal once it infects a host.
High Mortality Rate
EEE is one of the most serious mosquito-borne diseases due to its high mortality rate. For horses, this can be as high as 95%, making vaccination a crucial aspect of equine health management. Symptoms can include hyperexcitability, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, head tilt, and altered mental states.
Effective Prevention Strategies
Given the severe implications of EEE, implementing preventive measures is paramount. Here are key strategies that can help protect horses from this deadly virus:
Vaccination is a must. All horses should be vaccinated annually, with adjustments in high-risk areas where more frequent boosters may be required. The initial vaccination series typically involves two doses administered four to six weeks apart, followed by regular boosters to maintain immunity.
- Eliminate standing water sources around equine facilities to prevent mosquito breeding.
- Regularly clean and refill water troughs and buckets, and use mosquito “dunks” containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis for mosquito control.
- Apply approved insect repellents on horses and consider stabling them during peak mosquito activity times, such as dusk and dawn.
- Use insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to avoid bites.
- Wear protective clothing, such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and socks, during peak mosquito hours.
- Ensure that homes and equine facilities have tightly fitting screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out.
Role of Mosquitoes and Climate Change
Mosquitoes play a central role in the transmission of EEE and other equine diseases. With the heightened mosquito activity, especially noted in Connecticut this year, it’s clear that vigilant mosquito control measures are essential.
Climate change is also a significant factor. Warmer temperatures and altered precipitation patterns can increase mosquito populations and extend their active seasons, escalating the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
Public Health Implications
Although primarily a concern for equine health, EEE also poses a significant threat to public health. Humans can contract EEE through mosquito bites, and the disease can be equally severe in humans, with high mortality rates. Hence, it is crucial to raise public awareness and implement preventive measures to safeguard both animal and human health.
Future Research Directions
To combat the ongoing threat of EEE, several areas warrant further research:
Detailed Analysis of EEE and Its Impact
Understanding the virus's behavior, its natural reservoirs, and transmission factors can lead to more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
Comparative Study on EEE Vaccines
Evaluating the efficacy and safety of different EEE vaccines can guide veterinarians and horse owners in making informed decisions about vaccination programs.
Case Studies and Outbreak Management
An analysis of past outbreaks and effective management strategies can provide valuable insights into effective response and prevention measures.
Mosquito Control Strategies
Developing and evaluating new methods for mosquito control, including innovative repellents and breeding site management, is essential for reducing the risk of EEE transmission.
Improving diagnostic techniques for quicker and more accurate detection of EEE can significantly impact treatment outcomes and public health responses.
Cost-Benefit Analysis of Vaccination Programs
Assessing the economic benefits of vaccination programs against the costs can aid in advocating for the widespread adoption of these programs.
By addressing these areas, we can enhance our ability to prevent and manage EEE, ultimately protecting the health and well-being of both horses and humans.

ARIES: Timely news, advice or information, some of it conflicting, will give you much food for thought with an important situation, issue or project; sift through it allto find your best guidance and you’ll make big decisions or take the initiative with confidence.
TAURUS: The Full Moon energy surge will flow through your finances – money will come and go with dazzling speed, there’ll be complex matters/paperwork to sort out, big commitments, unexpected outlays and expensive plans.
GEMINI: A family member or event will require energetic support. A challenging issue with your mate or a family member may come to the fore though; it will take patience and work, to build bridges of understanding.
CANCER: Unfinished business or a lingering issue with someone will need thoughtful follow through. A health, diet or fitness matter may also need a focused effort.
LEO: An exciting get-together, surprise encounters, fun outings or plans will put you on a happy high; romance is in the air too.
VIRGO: Deadlines, hassles or changes on the job will push up the stress levels; you’ll need perseverance laced with flexibility to take them all in your stride. Family issues, commitments or fiery vibes will need patient input too.
LIBRA: An exciting or ambitious project will gather momentum; it’ll take resourceful ideas and research, to find the best way forward. You’ll pour energy into commuting extra distances or making travel plans too.
SCORPIO: There’ll be emotional and financial issues to address - a simmering difference or upset with another to defuse, unexpected or one-off outlays to build into the budget and a challenging financial matter to sort out.
SAGITTARIUS: You’ll give of your best to help or support a loved one or make the most of a special family occasion; there may be emotional issues to deal with gently as well.
CAPRICORN: A waiting situation, drawn out undertaking or unresolved issue with someone will need a patient positive effort to make progress. A reunion, or an experience that reminds you of a previous time, will bring echoes of the past. A family or domestic task will be a big handful. Take a little extra care health-wise too.
AQUARIUS: Fun invitations, a long awaited get-together and surprise encounters promise happy times ahead; sensitive or unspoken issues with some people though, will need a thoughtful approach. Romantic vibes could buzz too.
PISCES: A family commitment or domestic task could ask a lot of you; similarly, a big task or project on the job will demand the best you have to give. Stay focused and work to your plan, don’t let distractions or interruptions throw you off track, and it should be a most successful week.
Wishing you joy,

Sorry folks! I’ve been too busy with pups this month to get around to my July update….
Lots of unwanted drama as well. Mocha whelped towards the end of June, six nice even pups to Changi and she’s done an amazing job with them. I must admit I’m a bit surprised at how well she’s looked after them, Mocha’s a bit of a character and although she flew around like a crazy thing whenever I let her out, she’s been an amazing milk bar!
Next in line to whelp was Lily, who has always been very easy and organised. Sadly Remy got hold of a dead rat I’d baited with Roban(supposed to be safe?!) and I was distracted racing around with her to get some VitK when I should have been taking Lil to the vet for C section. She finished up with one big dog pup. I’m still kicking myself.
Fizz finally whelped after threatening to for a few days, had me a bit worried, and then decided to get on with it on a frosty night. I dragged out the old infra red lamp and she was nice and cosy with her four pups next morning. Only one problem, three of the four have a lot of white about the head! Wills hadn’t left much white at all prior to this litter, his first to a red/tan bitch, but I’d guess that it’s come through him. There’s an explanation on the ‘pups for sale’ page. Disappointing, but that’s what happens with old lines…and will no doubt continue to plague breeders while the stud book’s open to station bred dogs. Personally I think it’s much better to pursue working ability and put up with a few glitzes like this as the working kelpie has quite a limited gene pool. A fair bit of interest was engendered on my Facebook page and I’ll do a DNA test later to satisfy some of the critics, but there’s no doubt about the breeding. I chatted to Tony Parsons about it last week and he put it down to Frank Scanlon’s disregard of the importance of pedigrees and his emphasis on working ability! Interesting that I could have sold them three times over, so many people have the same attitude as Frank.
Gemma was due on 15th and whelped that night, three lovely fat shiny pups, only one bitch. Poor Gemma’s been in the wars lately, she was kicked on the nose and had her head shaved to check a swelling behind her eye, then a big grass seed came out of a swelling on her nose…the scar over her eye is from an old fight with Tally.
I had three Victorians visiting for the first week of the holidays and took them out to Texas to visit Bob and Marina; we had a look at Cara’s latest litter by Landy, big fat cuddly pups, and also their very entertaining little kids. After starting with only 25 does two years ago they expect to have 350 head by the end of this year; an amazing result and a lot of it due to Marina’s extremely efficient care of the does.
Candy and Cara kept a close eye on the one bitch pup, little Laney. The scenery is stunning.
The following week I went down to Guyra to collect Bimber. Lovely drive down the New England Highway.
I called at Deepwater Station on the way home, a grand old place and good to see effort being made to look after the historic buildings. These huts were built of vertical slabs of yellow box. Good to catch up with Kirby and Andrew Ardis; Cherry’s welcome was very enthusiastic! Funny how some dogs remember you so well. It’s a shame she missed to R.Cash.
Early in July Ronnie Robb came with his mate Dave to collect his Cherry pup, Ding, and the blue/tan HarveyxRemy bitch pup Rhipple. He took Tash(R.Cash II x K. Brandy) for some work but she came on heat almost straight away; after a discussion about dogs available for mating Ron suggested Skip. Who? I asked! I’d forgotten about the sole pup from mating Remy to Motley’s Russell three years ago. Ron likes him a lot, especially his strength on cattle, which I’m always chasing, so we decided on him. Good to get something back from my original reason for sending Remy out there.
Tash earlier this year and Russell at Allora in 2013. Skip is also a saddle marked dog.

When the weather is nice, children want to play outside. Summer is a time for bike-riding, playing sports, and playing on playgrounds. It is also a time when children are susceptible to serious head injuries. Falls from bikes, playground equipment and sport’s injuries can cause concussions and other serious head injuries that have life-long consequences.
Common Concussion Symptoms
A concussion is a bruising of the brain that can cause permanent damage. Knowing when your child has a concussion is not always obvious. A concussion can occur even if the child did not lose consciousness. Some of the common signs to look for include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision
If you suspect your child has a concussion, seek medical attention immediately. While there is not an emergency procedure doctors perform for a concussion, it is important to rule out any skull fractures or internal bleeding.
It is also important to take the required time off to rest and heal from a concussion before playing sports or biking again. If a child receives a concussion when his previous concussion is not already healed, the second concussion can cause even more devastating injuries.
Head injuries can be prevented. Wearing a helmet during sports and when biking reduces the risk of a brain injury by 85 percent. It is also extremely important that children wear the correct size of helmet and that it is secured properly to ensure protection.
It is also important that parents lead by example. Adults are just as susceptible to head injuries. In addition, helmets offer us the same protection that they offer our children.

3-day-weekends are always wonderful. It makes me wonder if we had 4 day work weeks all the time would we be any less productive? I mean who was the genius that came up with the 5 day work week in the first place? Who put him in charge? That’s a pretty big decision for one man to make, wouldn’t you say? I don’t know about you but no one asked me my opinion on this matter. I would definitely liked to have had a vote. But no, some dude, probably some married dude that just wanted to get away from his wife just came up with the concept all on his own. Oh, you know he was married. No single person would ever come up with the idea of working 5 days and just having 2 days to play. And God bless the British and that whole concept of taking a month off to “holiday.” That’s a great concept. And the Chinese pretty much take 3 weeks off to celebrate the Chinese new year right? I’m just saying maybe we should reevaluate the whole system that we have in place over here. I say lets just cut it right down the middle. Lets work 3 and a half days a week and lets rest 3 and a half days per week. Lets always have the day after the Superbowl off as well as the month of July. No one wants to work when it’s one hundred degrees anyway. Ok, I’m going to start a petition. Those always work-sign below if you want a 3 and a half day work week!
Just in case you were wondering, Mike Tyson will not be making an appearance at Big Al’s McKinney Avenue Tavern. I know, I know…you were really looking forward to it just like I was but it isn’t going to happen. I sent the request in to get him to come into the studio with us the morning of his One Man stage play and I was trying to get him to make an appearance that afternoon for “1 minute with Mike” where women would get in the ring with him for one minute after making a $250 donation to charity, but his people sent an email to my people, (me), and he is only doing phone interviews. If we wanted him on the phone, Kidd can do a pretty good Mike Tyson impression. Oh well, No Mike!…But At least Coolio is coming back!

Recently, there have been a number of blog posts from friends, quotes on facebook walls and email inspirations coming in that deal with overcoming the heavy baggage of hopelessness with the piercing lightness of Truth. Each one of these posts, quotes and emails starts a wave of fresh thought that makes it easier for us all to experience Truth and Love on a larger scale. So I wanted to add to this momentum. I wrote this post some time ago that shares how I came to experience this lightness and hope in my life. This was my ultimate challenge many years ago: No job. No car. No place to live. No money. Plans to have a family dashed. But the worst of it was I felt I had lost my connection to God. So, added to my list was little hope. I say little hope instead of no hope, because it was a little thing that helped me. That was the idea that in spite of everything, God loved me. It has been several times now that I have told this story about how I re-built my life after a life changing challenge. But today I am reminded that getting out of horrible, dead end situations sometimes takes just one step. And it can be a little step, and that’s okay. I read this today from the book of Job (which was the catalyst for this posting) There is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. Life prevails over even the worst that can happen. Even a slight glimpse of this idea will start us in the right direction – a “scent” of this refreshing thought will get us up and flourishing once again. I am praying for these small glimpses of peace, hope, progress for all those who are impacted by tragedy, by the confusion of war, or one’s own sense of isolation. These small glimpses are like light in a dark place. A little step toward the light is so practical, so do-able. A little step, a short prayer acknowledges this light. It puts a wedge into discouragement and lets the light glide right in. This leaves me with a feeling of authority and growing dominion. We have what we need to overcome discouragement and disappointment. God loves us. And with this nugget of Truth, we can grow to understand that this love is a rock on which we can firmly stand. Here is another post from my new blogging friend, Lindsey Biggs, who shares her post on the same theme: Let the light in to your consciousness! |

Lisbet planned us an AMAZING Iceland trip!! M...
Oct 9 - Oct 17, 2024
Lisbet planned us an AMAZING Iceland trip!! My family and I made incredible memories driving around Iceland and exploring such a beautiful country. I have absolutely no words for how perfect our trip went. Lisbet went above and beyond in planning our itinerary to specifically cater it to my family and I. She also added such amazing food and activity recommendations for our trip. All of our check ins for hotels and activities were seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better itinerary than the one Lisbet created for us, especially for our first time visiting Iceland. My family and I definitely have plans to return to Iceland soon and will be using KimKim again to plan our next adventure! Thank you to Lisbet and KimKim team for helping us create lasting memories!!
The Hvammsvik Hot Spring was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The whole experience was amazing and relaxing. I think the scenery around the hot spring was the best part for my family and I. Seeing the mountains while relaxing in the hot spring was breath taking and very peaceful! Also all the staff here were so kind and nice! Such a great experience and atmosphere to relax and unwind in!
The whale watching tour in Akureyri was by far our favorite experience! To start, the crew was absolutely amazing and helpful! The boat was incredible, it had a bar within the lower deck and various indoor and outdoor seating areas to view the scenery and whales. While seeing the whales, our guide talked in detail about each species of whale we observed and gave such amazing information about them! They also take pictures during the tour that they send you via email for free! Hands down the best experience we had! Seeing these gentle giants so close was mind blowing. Highly recommend adding whale watching to your trip if you plan on visiting Iceland!!

I believe that given the right kind of environmental support, people are basically growth-oriented. We want good relationships, meaningful pursuits, to feel understood and seen, and to be safe. Sometimes our pasts or the systems we live within can make it feel impossible to achieve those things. My hope is that by listening to you, trying to understand who you are and why you've made the choices you have, and offering as much insight as I can muster, we may be able to help you get back towards those fundamental human needs.
What kind of therapist am I?
Integrative Psychotherapist (MBACP)
I am an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy. In brief this means that I trained in a wide range of therapeutic methods and theories, and that I try to think about each client and each problem from several points of view.
What are my areas of expertise?
I've tended to work with a lot of people experiencing a sense of being lost in life, either because they’ve arrived somewhere without quite knowing how they got there, or because they don’t know where to go next. In mid-life it can suddenly occur to us that we’ve lost sight of ourselves. After two decades of friends, career, perhaps establishing a family, it’s not uncommon to feel that life has begun to happen to us, rather than being something we’re actively choosing.
Sometimes this is a consequence of working in a high-pressure environment over a prolonged period. Sometimes it’s a consequence of sacrificing parts of oneself while raising children. Sometimes it’s because a bereavement or other loss has called into question the fundamental structures of our lives. Whatever the reason, it’s a privilege to be asked to sit with people while they find their way back to themselves.
Specific areas of interest include the pressure of being part of a high-achieving system (workplace, family or culture), parenthood and the particular challenges it brings, disordered eating of all types, addictive or self-destructive coping mechanisms, and creative burnout.

Klobuchar is the ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee with oversight jurisdiction over federal elections
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee with oversight jurisdiction over federal elections, introduced legislation today that would help Americans affected or displaced due to natural disasters maintain their ability to vote through a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB). The Natural Disaster Emergency Ballot Act would ensure a printable online ballot would be available to eligible voters affected by a natural disaster.
“Americans who have lost so much following natural disasters shouldn’t also lose their ability to vote, nor should the honorable public servants who answer the call to help during times of devastation,” Klobuchar said. “We can’t prevent natural disasters, but we can ensure that when one strikes, those affected will still get the opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box.”
The legislation is cosponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Angus King (I-ME), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tom Udall (D-NM), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Michael Bennet (D-CO), Tina Smith (D-MN), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Cory Booker (D-NJ).
The Natural Disaster Emergency Ballot Act would create a domestic version of the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) that is currently available for Americans abroad under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) by amending the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). An emergency ballot would be available to eligible voters residing in areas where an emergency has been declared, to those who have been displaced, and to professional or volunteer service emergency responders. In addition, anyone who expects to be hospitalized on Election Day, or isn’t able to receive a requested absentee ballot from their state or jurisdiction would also be eligible to receive an emergency ballot. The ballot would follow the same process of submission as absentee ballots in each person’s state/jurisdiction.
Throughout her time in the Senate, Klobuchar has been fighting to protect voting rights for all Americans. In February, Klobuchar and Brown introduced the SAVE VOTERs Act to amend the National Voter Registration Act to clarify that a state may not use someone’s failure to vote as reason to remove them as a registered voter. In February, she introduced the Register America to Vote Act, legislation to ensure that every state implements a secure process to automatically register eligible citizens to vote on their eighteenth birthday. The bill also directs states to allow voters who have been automatically registered, or who were previously registered to vote, to update their address through the day of the election and authorizes a $325 million grant program for states to implement their automatic voter registration programs and to improve their election security.
Klobuchar also leads the Students Voicing Opinions in Today’s Elections (VOTE) Act which would create a pilot program to educate high school seniors about registering to vote and help get them registered and the Same Day Registration Act to require states to allow people to register to vote on the same day as the election. In March 2018, Klobuchar and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced the Support our Military Spouses Act. This legislation would reduce confusion and ensure military spouses do not have to establish new legal residency after every military reassignment.

Faceless Photos: 3 Reasons I Include Them In Your Gallery
What's a 'faceless photo', you ask? It's exactly what it says: a photo without a face in it. It could be a photo of people walking away, of someone's hands holding something, of baby feet, a small detail like a little girl's braid, just hands being held, the shadow of someone and just their legs. As long as the subject's face isn't being shown, that's a faceless photo, and they can be incredibly beautiful. Plus, they tend to be a little offbeat and unexpected, and I LOVE it when photos are a little bit different. So here are 3 reasons that I will likely include them in every gallery I deliver and some examples of what I mean.
I am a lifestyle photographer. This means that I focus on connections, emotions and details to tell the story of your family. You'd be shocked at how well a faceless photo can convey connection and emotion. Yes, I do take photos where everyone is looking at me and smiling, but those kinds of photos get boring after a while, not to mention an entire gallery of everyone looking at the camera with the same expressions would be SUPER boring and wouldn't show your family's personality at all. Faceless photos are part of how I deliver variety in a gallery and show your family in a different kind of way. Like this photo: to keep the kids from getting bored during a portion of the session, I had them collect leaves to make a bouquet. To tell that story, I took a photo of the completed bouquet. The little girl's green dress was the perfect backdrop to complement those beautiful fall colors!
2. Detail shots, especially for newborns and young children help to tell the story of how small they are, so that you can look back and remember, "Oh, you really did fit in the palm of my hand." Just a shot of big brother's fingers holding his new sister's pinkie finger show how tiny she is, and in a beautiful and creative way that he was curious about her. A shot like this shows that story as art, rather than a quick snap of the whole scene, in which you wouldn't really even be able to see their fingers like this at all. The same goes for how baby's head fits in Dad's hands so easily, and how perfect those tiny toes are. Black and white makes them classic and forces you to focus on the details rather than the colors you see.
3. Not all clients want to share their children's or their faces on social media. It's not uncommon to have a client request that I do not share their images on Instagram or Facebook, as they want to keep their lives or their children private. If I ask about faceless photos, more often than not they're totally ok with that, so I can still share a bit from their session (without giving specific details), and then they have some options should they also want to share images. Win-win.
What do you think of a faceless photo? Let me know!!

Many highways are empty with so many people staying home. That means fewer accidents, fewer crash claims and more savings for insurance companies.
The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) wants state insurance commissioners and insurance companies to give consumers relief.
“It’s time for the insurance companies to step up and do the right thing, which is to give a break for this month while we're not driving,” said Doug Heller, with Consumer Federation of America.
Geico paused policy cancellations and expirations through April 30.
Allstate made a similar move. It's allowing payments to be delayed up to two months, but the amount due is still the same.
The Consumer Federation of America says if accidents are down 25% in California, insurance companies would save about $100 million per week.
“Allow consumers to tell their insurance companies how many fewer miles they are driving these days and they can calculate what is the monthly savings and then offset our premiums, so instead of paying $150 a month, maybe the premium will go down to $100 a month,” said Heller.
CFA recommends calling your insurance company and asking to be re-rated if your mileage is down.
If you drive for work, like a sales rep, you can call to request a change from business to pleasure-rated.
Experts say it's worth getting new quotes from companies to see where you can save.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — School supplies are in hot demand as the start of the new school year draws closer.
But it's not just parents and students who are shopping for supplies.
As teachers spend time prepping their classrooms, they are also spending their own money.
Most teachers end up using money out of their very own pockets to pay for school supplies.
In fact, a recent survey by the National Center for Education Statistics says 94 percent of teachers are dipping into their wallets to make sure their students have what they need.
We’ll visit John F. Kennedy Elementary School to meet with teachers as they prep their classrooms and learn about the creative ways they have found to stock their rooms.

With just one mention of abortion, Republican Party lays out its 2024 policy platform
Dedicated to the "To the Forgotten Men and Women of America," the Republican Party's 2024 platform reads like the transcript of a Trump rally speech.
The Republican National Committee’s Platform Committee adopted former President Donald Trump’s platform, a document that leans into Trump’s preferred “America First” stances and steers away from traditional GOP social issues.
The platform starts with 20 promises, largely pulling from the tag lines of the former president, including “STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION” and the simplistic “END INFLATION.” Trump’s campaign sought to pare down the party platform.
More recently, Trump has made sure to try to distance himself from the controversial (and lengthy) Project 2025 policy document put together by some of his allies.
Notably, the promises don’t mention anything about abortion, as Trump attempts to de-emphasize the issue and appeal to swing voters. In the entire platform, the word appears just once, in a statement about the party's dedication to protecting "the issue of life." It reads: "We will oppose Late Term Abortion."
After appointing the Supreme Court justices who helped overturn the constitutional right to abortion, he’s said the issue should now be up to states.
Other social issues appear more frequently, including promises related to limiting federal funding for schools teaching so-called Critical Race Theory and keeping "men out of women's sports."

KUKA Innovation Award 2014
The first KUKA Innovation Award was presented in 2014 to the “Robotics & Perception” research group from the University of Zurich.
KUKA Innovation Award 2014: Open to invent the future
The four finalists for the Innovation Award 2014 exhibited their projects at AUTOMATICA.
The winning project in 2014
The KUKA Innovation Award 2014 was the first of its kind. The “Robotics & Perception” research group from the University of Zurich won out over the more than 30 finalists. With their application “Cooperative air-ground robotics: Removing obstacles in the way – search and rescue missions”, the Swiss team convinced the specialist jury at AUTOMATICA – the international flagship trade fair for robotics and automation.
The KUKA youBot meets the quadcopter: collaborative robots for disaster areas
In the application presented for the KUKA Innovation Award 2014, a quadcopter in the air works directly with a KUKA youBot on the ground. The quadcopter, equipped with a camera, autonomously flies around a defined area, collects data on the landscape and existing obstacles and generates a map. The quadcopter then sends this information to the youBot. This process enables the youBot to navigate better, avoiding obstacles and reaching the target more quickly.
The team has thus figured out a new use for collaborative robots: the application is intended to help in disaster areas during search and rescue efforts – for example, when entering an area is too dangerous for people or when transporting first-aid kits.
KUKA Innovation Award 2014: the winning team
The “Robotics and Perception” research group is a department of the University of Zurich. They brought the “Cooperative air-ground robotics: Removing obstacles in the way – search and rescue missions” project to life.
The winning team accepted the first KUKA Innovation Award and the 20,000 euro prize money at the AUTOMATICA trade fair.

Koen De Preter
Tender Men is a dance performance about men and sensitivities. About the fearlessness, beauty and poetry of touch, but also about the unavoidable chaos and misunderstandings they cause.
Four men, each with their own identity and dance background, symbolise vulnerability, roughness and tenderness. With his international cast, Koen Depreter asks the question how men would interact in a world without homophobia.
Koen De Preter is a choreographer and performer. In his work, he takes risks with styles and target groups. He creates evening and school performances, creates work outside of the theatre and sets up socio-artistic projects. He is fascinated by performers of all ages and dance backgrounds. He strives for a balance between abstraction and theatrical performativity in choreography, and uses eclectic soundtracks for his creations.

We used some of the objects we found on our Autumn walk to create our own repeating patterns.
We enjoyed using musical instruments to copy patterns. We had a go at creating some of our own patterns using the instruments.
We looked at different objects and materials that had patterns on them. We tried to use different words to describe the patterns that we found.
We used two different objects to create a repeated pattern. Our teachers started the pattern and we tried to continue the repeating pattern.
We used the beads and the poles to try to copy and create our own repeated pattern using the different colours.

During the visit, which took place during Neighbourhood Policing Week, the Commissioner saw first hand how the neighbourhood team is getting tough on ASB and those who commit it, including the use of dispersal orders.
The visit was held the same day as Mr Snowden’s third and final ASB Summit, the summits called upon Lancashire’s senior leaders and key partners to discuss how collectively they can tackle ASB.
Staff from Chorley Youth Zone Inspire also joined the Neighbourhood Policing Team on the beat, helping officers to engage with young people, many of whom they had existing relationships with.
Inspire Youth Zone have recently been awarded £10K funding from the Commissioner’s ‘Safer Lancashire Neighbourhoods Fund’ to support their ‘Hard Hitters’ programme, seeking to address ASB in Chorley by engaging young people in an internal boxing group.
Following the visit, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Andrew Snowden said:
“ASB continues to be the top priority for the residents of Lancashire, and I always welcome the opportunity to see how local teams are proactively working to combat issues.
“Partnership working is something I cannot stress the need for enough, whilst policing does and will continue to play a vital role in tackling ASB, the need for support and involvement from partnership organisations that can deter and prevent the type of behaviour we see all too often on our streets and in communities is paramount.
“As I continue to lead the fight against crime, I remain committed to backing the Chief Constable with the support and resources he needs to go after offenders, protect the public and ensure residents, here in Chorley and across the county, feel safer.”

Recognized by many as the industry leader in actor showcases designed to highlight diverse talent, the Showcase is attended by senior level CBS Entertainment executives, showrunners and casting directors from the network’s daytime and primetime programs as well as casting directors from other networks and high level talent agents.
Recently, with so much talk about Latinos (specifically Mexicans) in this country sparking debate, Najera, who has been recognized as one of the “Most Influential Latinos in America” (Hispanic Business Magazine), has taken it upon himself to speak out about the importance of Latino images in the media, “This election year, Latinos and people of color will decide if we want an inclusive and accepting America, or a land of corporate prisons and borders,” says Najera, “Our image and how we are seen in the media will be key… Although Latinos did well during the recent Golden Globes, we still have a long way to go. We need it not to be news and unusual when we win a few awards, it needs to be the norm.”
Rick Najera is an award-winning author of four books and dives deep into the images of Latinos portrayed on television and in film in his latest memoir, Almost White: Forced Confessions of a Latino in Hollywood. Najera also writes for Hulu’s original series, East Los High and produces and hosts Latino Thought Makers live series.
The CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase will take place at the El Portal Theatre located at 5269 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601.

Côte 136 – Pech Cezarine
Certain plots have certain areas that happen to produce certain grapes. These grapes we have found over the years lead to the most delicious wines. We mark these areas, and give them a name. In this case 136 is the average altitude of the particular plot this particular wine comes from. The grapes for this cuvée are harvested at dawn, then we use short vinification at a moderate temperature, along with soft extractions. A small amount is aged in new French barrels utilising the wood and all it can add. In the glass it reveals the whole story and it’s a story worth telling.

my uncle was director of a company,he along with other directors is said to have issued a continous deed of guarantee during 1994,my uncle resigned from director soon after,he passed away in dec 2002,now in 2013 the bank says they are going to take legal action upon my uncle estates,my cousins had no knowledge about this till now,can bank take legal action,how can my cousins defend themselves.
2 Answers from Attorneys
The resignation from being a director will be a good defense. You have to check with the office of Registrar of Companies about proof of Form 32 submitted by him. Be as that it may, limitation is another ground. He having died in 2002, action cannot be brought against legal heirs now in 2013. thirdly, it is first the principal borrowers have to be followed by the bank, the guarantor comes later.
In addition, one needs to look into the documents, claim etc to form a comprehensive opinion.
Dear Sir / Madam,
In the case of many private limited Companies, all the Directors are family members and are related to each other. Should that be the case, the bank is totally justified in recovery of the entire outstanding loan / credit facilities extended from the estate of the guarantors. You should refer back to the loan documents to check for inclusion of the clause whether legal heirs of guarantors are also included therein. If there is no mention, you should defend yourself on those lines.

In year 2008, my builder (In Navi Mumbai) alloted me the open parking space after charging me for it. He gave me a parking allotment letter on his own letter head.
The parking space alloted to me was made on the open garden space.
The co-operative housing society was formed in year 2010, but during the document handover, builder did not handover any of the parking allotment letter to society managers.
Now after 2 years, my society is realloting the parking spaces to all of the members. In that process, they are declining to accept the parking slot alloted by the buulder. They are saying that all open parking slots belong to society, so it cant be given on a fixed basis to anyone.
Although I have a allotment letter by builder, society is not accepting it.
Can anyone please suggest me the law over the builder alloted parking? Is the builder alloted parking letter is a valid document?
Please help me!

Research shows health studies don’t showcase medical conditions in ethnic minorities.
Recent findings highlight a significant underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in health condition research studies including multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), despite these groups being disproportionately affected. A systematic review, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, has called attention to this gap, emphasizing the need for more inclusive research practices.
The review analyzed 13 intervention studies that together involved over 4,000 participants. It was discovered that only four of these studies offered any data regarding the ethnic backgrounds of their participants. This lack of detailed reporting points to a broader issue of ethnic minority groups being underrepresented in medical research, particularly in studies aiming to improve the management of long-term health conditions.
Additionally, the research highlighted biases in participant selection. Specifically, eight of the studies required participants to speak English or have access to a translator, potentially excluding non-English speakers from participating. Moreover, none of the studies made cultural adaptations to their methodology, such as providing translated materials or employing translators, which could have facilitated greater participation from diverse communities.
Socioeconomic status (SES) was another area of focus in the study, with findings showing that while 12 of the 13 studies reported on SES, the representation of lower SES groups varied due to differing measurement methods. Given that lower SES groups are more susceptible to MLTCs, the researchers have called for a standardization in reporting SES to improve consistency and relevance in research outcomes.
The review showcases the importance of including diverse populations in health research, particularly those who are most likely to benefit from the studies. By not adequately representing ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic groups, research fails to address the specific needs and conditions of these populations, potentially perpetuating health disparities.
Zara Kayani from the University of Leicester stressed that future studies on MLTCs need to focus on improving the recruitment of ethnic minority groups and ensure the accurate reporting of participant ethnicity. There is also a push for better representation of low SES groups in these studies, as interventions might be most beneficial for these communities.
Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) East Midlands, this study not only sheds light on the current shortcomings in health research diversity but also suggests actionable steps towards more equitable health care research. The NIHR ARC East Midlands continues to support research that addresses regional health and care priorities and expedites the integration of research findings into practical health care applications.
The challenges in achieving diverse representation in health condition research are multifaceted. One major hurdle is the often-stringent inclusion criteria that can inadvertently exclude significant portions of the population. Language barriers, as noted in the reviewed studies, pose a significant challenge, especially in diverse societies where multiple languages are spoken. Furthermore, cultural nuances and the varying levels of trust in medical systems among different ethnic groups can also hinder participation.
To overcome these barriers, researchers must adopt more inclusive recruitment strategies. This includes not only translating study materials into multiple languages but also using culturally appropriate communication methods to reach and engage potential participants. Community engagement is crucial and can be facilitated by partnering with community leaders and organizations that are trusted by underrepresented groups.
This call for more inclusive research practices aims to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of health interventions across all societal segments, thereby reducing health inequalities and ensuring that all groups have equitable access to the benefits of research advancements.

After picking up some very needed rain this morning, we have not had the scorching day we thought we would, but it is certainly tropical out there! Dew points have been well into the 70s for everyone and the heat has climbed to the low 90s for most. We have one more very hot day for tomorrow, then after that we will slowly start to see the heat wave subside. Heat index values for Friday should easily reach 100 and even up to 106°! Our saving grace comes in the form of showers and storms Friday afternoon. Some of the rain could be heavy, but the whole state likely will not see rain. A Marginal Risk for severe storms will be in place.
Saturday is another more active day with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Beyond that action, we calm back down on Sunday and the cold fronts will do there job dropping our temperatures to the mid 80s on Sunday and that's where we stay through much of next week. Another dry stretch looks to be the case again Sunday through Friday.

libavg has supported the Raspberry Pi for a while now. In the last few weeks, I set up a cross-compile toolchain: You compile libavg for the Raspberry Pi on a separate Linux machine. This means compiling is done in a few minutes (as opposed to an hour or more if you compile directly) – here are build instructions. Also, after a bugfix, we have full libavg functionality on the Pi. Video decoding, sadly, is still done in software, since the first two people that have tried implementing it have given up – I’ll see what I can do on that front.

We will sell only the meat that we would eat ourselves.
At Licious, we’re big meat-lovers. And by big, we mean huge. So when it comes to the meat we put on your plate, we’re extremely picky. Every single product is handpicked by a team with years of experience.
If it’s not fresh, we won’t sell it
For meat to stay fresh and retain its natural juices, it needs to be stored at a temperature between 0° and 4°C. We maintain this temperature from the time we procure the product to cleaning, cutting and storing it, until it leaves for delivery. And even when it’s out for delivery, we keep it chilled right up to your doorstep.Did we mention that we’re obsessed?
We will charge only for what you buy
Doesn’t everyone do this? Not really. Most other places first weigh the meat, then cut up the pieces, and throw out the parts which aren’t fit to eat, such as offal, gizzard, wingtips, etc. But you still pay based on the original weight even though what you finally get is 10% to 30% less

The Ultimate Guide to Finding the Best Family Photography Near You
Capturing precious moments with your family through photography is a wonderful way to create lasting memories. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a desire to freeze time and cherish the present, finding the best family photographer near you is crucial. But with so many options available, how do you know which one is right for you? This ultimate guide will help you navigate through the process of finding the best family photography near you, ensuring that you get stunning photos that truly capture the essence of your loved ones.
Researching Family Photographers in Your Area
When starting your search for family photography near you, it’s essential to do thorough research. Begin by asking friends and family for recommendations. Personal referrals are often reliable sources of information as they come from people who have had first-hand experiences with photographers. Additionally, consider using online directories and review websites to find local photographers in your area.
Once you have a list of potential photographers, take some time to explore their websites and social media profiles. Look at their portfolios to get an idea of their style and expertise in capturing family moments. Pay attention to lighting, composition, and the emotions conveyed in their photos. Reading client testimonials or reviews can also give you insights into their professionalism and customer satisfaction.
Narrowing Down Your Options
After conducting thorough research on various family photographers near you, it’s time to narrow down your options. Start by considering your budget and comparing it with the pricing information provided by each photographer. Keep in mind that while price is an important factor, choosing solely based on cost might not always yield the best results.
Next, evaluate each photographer’s style and match it with your vision for your family photoshoot. Some photographers specialize in capturing candid moments while others prefer more posed shots. It’s essential to choose someone whose style aligns with what you envision for your photographs.
Additionally, consider the photographer’s availability and scheduling flexibility. Some photographers may have a busy schedule, especially during peak seasons, so it’s important to ensure that their availability matches your desired timeframe.
Setting Expectations and Communicating Your Vision
Once you’ve narrowed down your options to a few family photographers near you, it’s time to reach out and communicate your expectations and vision. Contact each photographer directly and ask any questions you may have. Inquire about their experience working with families, the locations they recommend, and their approach to capturing genuine moments.
During these conversations, be sure to communicate your vision for the photoshoot. Share any specific ideas or themes you have in mind and discuss how the photographer can bring them to life. A good family photographer will listen attentively and offer suggestions based on their expertise.
Making the Final Decision
After researching, narrowing down your options, and communicating with potential photographers, it’s time to make the final decision. Take into consideration all the factors discussed above – recommendations from friends or family, portfolios and reviews of each photographer, pricing, style compatibility with your vision, availability, communication skills, and overall professionalism.
Trust your instincts when making this decision. Choose a family photographer who not only meets all your requirements but also makes you feel comfortable and confident in their ability to capture beautiful moments with your loved ones.
In conclusion, finding the best family photography near you requires thorough research, careful evaluation of options based on style compatibility and pricing considerations. Effective communication about expectations is key in ensuring that your vision is understood by the chosen photographer. By following this ultimate guide, you’ll be well-equipped to find a skilled professional who can create stunning photographs that will be treasured for generations to come.
