It is very important to understand what the symptoms of vertigo are to distinguish between dizziness and actual vertigo. Some people will say they are dizzy and actually mean they feel like they are going to faint. Other people say they are dizzy when they feel like the objects around them are moving.

TARRANT COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – Tarrant County has extended its face mask order for businesses to Nov. 30 as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
County Judge Glen Whitley issued the extension to the order and his disaster declaration on Tuesday in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
The order was originally issued on June 25, requiring residents and employees inside businesses to wear a face mask or covering.
Whitley said Tuesday he believes wearing face masks is a small inconvenience but necessary to avoid another shutdown.
“The last thing in the world we want to do this time is to relax, decide we’ve past this and get back to normal and then we’ll have another big spike,” Whitley said.
The extension was met with what’s become a weekly wave of opposition from people who believe the orders are going too far with virus numbers falling.
On Tuesday, the criticism was directed toward the county’s public health director, Vinny Taneja, as he continues to recommend staying home while acknowledging virus numbers are improving.
“We’re really comfortable at this point that the trend, that it’s go some force coming down,” Taneja said.
However, Taneja said the county is working on releasing new data on the virus spread broken down by high school attendance zones. This comes after the community met the initial goals health authorities listed for the safer reopening of schools.
Health officials are planning a call with school superintendents this week to discuss the data with them and then making it available for the public to see.
The county currently has 40,331 total confirmed cases of COVID-19, along with 519 deaths. The county also reported 32,670 patients have recovered from the virus.
The judge’s executive order can be read here.

The hot, moody owner of Prime Beef is the man she left behind in college...the man she thought she’d never see again. He’s also the only man she’s ever loved. For the past year, Jericho Smythe has been waging a war with himself. Does he want to know why Natasha broke his heart and left without looking back? Hell yes. But he’s paralyzed by the glimpses he’s gotten of her at Three Sisters Catering and he hasn’t been ready for a confrontation.

In an apparent change of tack, Chinese government officials are once again encouraging Chinese firms to invest overseas, the South China Morning Post reported. While China has been engaged in a widespread natural resource acquisition spree, investments unrelated to national economic strategy have been discouraged by leaders such as Vice Premier Wang Qishan, who warned companies to be cautious when investing abroad. However, on Monday the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on its website that overseas investments are now attractive and investment costs are falling. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, one of the institutions charged with approving overseas investments, announced on the same day that it will ease its approval process and expand foreign exchange reserves available for investment abroad. The National Social Security Fund, China’s national pension fund, now said it is seeking cabinet approval for billions of dollars in planned investments in foreign private equity funds.

Rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has written to the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, demanding information on the loss of $60 billion oil revenue which the Nigerian government had refused to collect from the international oil companies as at August 2017.
Falana, in the letter dated April 10, 2019 said he recalled that in his letter dated 5 November, 2015 and addressed to Kachikwu, in his capacity then as the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, he drew the attention of the minister to the refusal of regulatory agencies in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources to enforce the production sharing contracts signed by the International Oil Companies.
He explained that in a public statement credited to Kachikwu in August 2017, he did disclose to the media that Nigeria had lost not less than $60 billion due to the refusal of some public officials to implement the terms of the Production Sharing Contracts between the Federal Government and the International Oil Companies.
“In another public statement made on January 19, 2019 by the Acting Chairman of the Revenue, Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Mr. Shetima Bana confirmed the loss of oil revenue of $60 billion arising from the non-implementation of the said production sharing contracts.
“In view of the foregoing, I am compelled to request you to furnish me with information on the revenue of $60 billion which the Federal Government has refused to collect from the International Oil Companies as at August 2017. As this request is made pursuant to section in the provision of the Freedom of Information Act, you are required to supply the requested information not later than 7 days from the date of the receipt of this letter,” he said.
Falana added that if the minister failed or refused to accede to his request, he shall be compelled to apply to the Federal High Court to direct him to avail him with the information on the loss of the oil revenue of $60 billion.

Rumors of Kindle upgrades are a dime a dozen, and many aren't from the most reputable of sources. But one new report sounds quite likely: Amazon will launch a front-lit version of its Kindle eReader in July, and a new model of its Kindle Fire color tablet closer to the holiday season, Reuters reports.
The new Kindle eReader will retain an E-Ink display but add a front light, says Reuters, citing an unnamed source with "direct knowledge of the matter." The source asked to remain anonymous because Amazon has yet to announce the product.
Amazon's decision to sell a front-lit Kindle is a no-brainer, particularly since rival Barnes & Noble has already begun shipping its front-lit Nook Simple Touch With GlowLight last month. Amazon will either retain the current prices of its eReaders or raise them slightly to offset additional production costs of the front lighting, according to Reuter's source.
An illuminated screen resolves one of the biggest shortcomings of today's Kindle eReaders: Reading in dark environments, such as in bed at night, requires an external light source. A bedside lamp will do, of course, and several vendors sell aftermarket lights that clip onto the Kindle. But a lighted display with an on/off switch would be far more convenient.
Reuters' source didn't reveal much about the 2nd-generation Kindle Fire, other than to say it'll have a larger 8.9-inch display and should arrive in time for the holiday shopping season.
And what about that color eReader we've been hearing about? Amazon probably won't release one this year, perhaps because there are still a few technological hurdles to be ironed out.

The Morocco tours described on this website are operated by Berber Sahara Treasures, which has its head office in Ouarzazate, Morocco in conjunction with Berber Treasures Pty Ltd, which has its head office in Sydney, Australia (together Berber Treasures).
These Terms & Conditions contain important information and set out your contractual agreement with Berber Treasures. It is essential that you carefully read and understand them. If you have any queries regarding these Terms & Conditions or do not understand them, please raise your query with a member of our staff.
1. BOOKING A TOUR
By booking with Berber Treasures and paying the non-refundable deposit (25% for group tours & 30% for private tours), or full payment, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms & Conditions. Receipt and acceptance of your payment will be confirmed in writing to you. It is compulsory for, and the responsibility of, all Berber Treasures clients to hold adequate and valid travel insurance before commencing and for the duration of a Berber Treasures tour of Morocco.
1.1 Invoiced Tour: We will prepare your tour invoice setting out the total cost of your Berber Treasures tour (the tour price), the tour dates and attaching your tour itinerary (the invoiced tour).
1.2 Bookings More Than 8 Weeks in Advance of Tour Start Date: To book the invoiced tour, we must receive a non-refundable deposit of 25% (our Morocco group tours) or 30% (private tours of Morocco) of the tour price (the booked tour). Receipt and acceptance of your non-refundable deposit will be acknowledged in writing. This deposit is non-refundable (and remains so at all times) but may be credited to the cost of an alternative tour departure for the same itinerary taken within 26 weeks of your original invoiced tour start date if we receive at least 56 days written notice of cancellation & deferral (see “Cancellation” s 7 below for more detail). The balance of the tour price is due 56 days in advance of your tour start date and, if this payment fails to reach us by that date, we reserve the right to treat the booking as cancelled and the non-refundable deposit is forfeit. Please note that we do not issue reminders.
1.3 Bookings 8 Weeks or Less in Advance of Tour Start Date: To make a booking 56 days or less prior to the invoiced tour start date, we must receive and accept payment in full of the tour price before the booking will be accepted (the booked tour). (For the avoidance of doubt 25% of this payment is considered and treated at all times as the non-refundable deposit within the meaning of these terms and conditions.)
1.4 Your Tour Documents: Approximately 4 weeks before your tour departure date, provided we have received and accepted payment in full for your tour, we will issue your tour documents, which include your detailed itinerary inclusive of your tour accommodation contact details (detailed itinerary). (If required, on request your travel documents may be issued earlier, subject to operational constraints and not before full payment has been received.) All travel documents are issued electronically by email to you.
1.5 Method of Payment: Berber Treasures accepts payment by direct deposit or electronic bank transfer and credit/debit card. Payment by credit/debit card (Visa and MasterCard only) incurs a surcharge as indicated on your invoice. Please note payments are not received until the cleared funds are credited to Berber Treasures’ bank account. Details of these payment options will be set out on your Berber Treasures invoice.
1.6 Client Details to be provided: At the time of booking, you should provide the full names, as they appear on passports, of all clients included on your tour booking. You must provide these details before your tour documents will be issued.

Berber Treasures will do everything within our control not to adjust prices and will generally only amend prices in the event of marked fluctuations in exchange rates, fuel costs and other operating costs on which prices are based. Once full payment is received and accepted by Berber Treasures your booked tour will not be subject to further surcharges or increases.

8. CHANGES TO YOUR TOUR
8.1 You acknowledge that Berber Treasures’ tours and destinations require clients to be flexible and to allow for alternatives and an understanding that the itinerary, accommodation (including style, standard and/or location), and/or modes of transport may change, even after a tour’s commencement, without prior notice due to local circumstances. Changes may occur because of ‘Force Majeure’, poor road conditions, weather, the availability of tickets, vehicle breakdowns, overbooking or unavailability of accommodation, changes in transport schedules, or other circumstances beyond Berber Treasures’ control or which simply cannot be foreseen. For this reason, while every attempt will be made to adhere to the detailed itinerary for your tour, your detailed itinerary must be taken as an indication of what may take place and not as a contractual obligation on the part of Berber Treasures. Berber Treasures does not accept any responsibility for loss of enjoyment, delays, or compensation resulting from circumstances beyond Berber Treasures’ control.
8.2 The information about tours given on/by Berber Treasures’ website, quotes, invoices, itineraries, communications and detailed itineraries is subject to change. The information and conditions in the booked tour are deemed to be part of the contract. Where changes to your booked tour occur after you have received the detailed itinerary we will, where practical, advise you of such changes.
9.1 If you are for any reason late or delayed in joining, commencing or resuming your booked tour, including any scheduled airport transfers, commencing, participating in or resuming tour activities, sightseeing or the continuation of your booked tour including departing the current location, you bear sole responsibility for all arrangements and costs (including any accommodation, transport, sightseeing, meal or service costs and arrangements) incurred in connection with you subsequently joining or re-joining the booked tour. No refunds will be made for any unused accommodation, transport, sightseeing, meals, services, or any other tour inclusion not utilised.
10. AUTHORITY OF THE LEADER
10.1 At all times the decision of the Berber Treasures driver or representative (Berber Treasures Leader) will be final on all matters likely to affect the conduct, safety and/or well-being of the tour and tour participants. This includes any decision the Berber Treasures Leader makes about your on-going participation in the tour or activities that comprise part of the booked tour. If you fail to comply with a decision made by a Berber Treasures Leader, or interfere with the safety, well-being and/or enjoyment of the tour by your travel companions, then the Berber Treasures Leader reserves the right to terminate this contract and your ongoing participation in the tour including ordering you to leave the tour immediately or where you are not present or ready to continue with the tour, continuing the tour without you, with no right of refund or other compensation.
11.1 If you have any complaint about your tour, you must make it known at the earliest opportunity to your driver and/or Berber Treasures local representative, who will normally be able to take appropriate action. In the case of dissatisfaction with any accommodation, you must report the problem to the accommodation management so that immediate action can be taken to remedy the problem. If at the end of the tour you feel your complaint has not been satisfactorily addressed and you wish to take the matter further, you must notify Berber Treasures in writing by email to firstname.lastname@example.org within 30 days of the end of your tour of the details of your complaint.
12. TRAVEL INSURANCE

You are responsible for any extra charges incurred in respect to such special requests and Berber Treasures cannot guarantee you will be able or permitted to participate in all tour activities.
15.3 Berber Treasures will pass on any other reasonable requests that you may have (e.g. room locations or meal preference) but such requests cannot be guaranteed and will not form part of the contract. No compensation will be payable if such requests are not fulfilled.

Gatwick Airport has announced the award of two new Frameworks for construction activity at the airport in support of its recently announced five-year Capital Investment Programme.
The Design and Engineering Services Framework and the Professional Services Resource Framework will have a pool of 18 specialist consultancies to select from to support the five-year plan. The airport says this follows a rigorous procurement process which involved interest from more than 250 organisations, with more than 130 formal applications being evaluated by Gatwick.
Gatwick’s Director of Construction Raymond Melee said: “It’s an exciting time at Gatwick as we kick off our five-year Capital Investment Programme with £1.15 billion committed up to 2022 and £240 million planned for 2017/18 alone.
“We are halfway through a £2.7 billion transformation programme as we plan for more growth and improved efficiency, while also maintaining our record levels of passenger satisfaction.
“I look forward to working with these specialists to boost our in-house teams as we move through the various stages of our projects.”
The Design and Engineering Framework has awarded preferred bidder status to 13 consultants as listed below:
• Low Complexity Architecture: Pascall + Watson, Atkins, 3DReid
• Low Complexity Structures & Civils: WSP, Jacobs, RPS, AMEY OW, Ramboll
• Low Complexity Engineering (M&E): WSP, Cundall, TSP, Hulley & Kirkwood
• Medium/High Complexity Design: WSP, RPS, Chapman Taylor/Arcadis, Arup, Jacobs
By classifying projects according to complexity, rather than value, Gatwick says it has set up agreements with these organisations which will provide opportunities in building, civil engineering and mechanical/electrical design across small, medium and large projects.
At the same time, the airport says it has ambitions to work in an integrated, collaborative and sustainable way with its supply chain. It expects consultants to support the airport’s business objectives and to contribute to its environmental and health and safety targets under the Decade of Change reporting structure that Gatwick began in 2010.
The Professional Services Resource Framework has been awarded to seven organisations who will support Gatwick over the next four years with the supply of commercial and project management resource such as contract administrators, cost engineers, estimators, project managers, engineers, planners and risk managers. In addition, some may be called upon for principal design services, traffic consultancy, business planning and whole life costing.
• Faithful + Gould
• Robinson Low Francis
• Doig and Smith
• Currie & Brown
• WSP UK
These organisations will assist the airport at times of peak activity. Working alongside the Gatwick Airport capital delivery team, the airport says they will play a critical role in supporting the delivery of the Capital Investment Programme, and will allow the airport to flex its resource levels depending on the cycle of its programmes of work.
Projects include: reconfiguring stands to facilitate a changing aircraft mix, building a new hangar in partnership with Boeing, extending Pier 6 to increase pier service levels well beyond its 95% target, adding a new domestic arrivals facility in South Terminal and continuing to roll out its popular self-service bag drop product.

The Black Box Improv Theater is back! Starting tonight (which is sold out) the laughs return to the stage with a new ownership group. Originally founded in 2012 by Justin Howard, he has turned his focus to corporate consulting. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the theater closed its doors in March of 2020 unsure what the future held. Thankfully, in the summer of 2021, ten veteran performers and instructors pulled together to take over the space and return the theater to a viable entertainment option for the southwest Ohio region.
Kevin Carter, Garrett Geilenfeldt, James Fritchman, Othalia Larue, Jason VonVille, Teri Herbstreit, PJ Lindsay, Jonathan Sauline and Bryan Lakatos now share the tasks required to operate the theater. Some teach, some perform, others handle legal responsibilities, accounting and marketing. They all pitched in for a big clean up and refresh day, handling some repairs, painting and other refreshes to the space. They’ve even applied for a liquor license- but for now it’s BYOB.
Shows that are inspired by audience suggestions will be Wed – Sun nights, after this weekends grand re-opening. They feature long form improv featuring locally grown improvisors and we have a variety of shows ranging from hour long shows based on your personal stories to a local favorite, our improvised musicals! Our musicals feature the former music director of Second City, Trey Stone.
Wed 8pm $5
Doors open 30 minutes before showtime and seating is first come, first served. Theater and Stage are both handicap accessible and the showroom seats about 100.

A few months ago, a “teen stoner” allegedly hacked into an AOL account belonging to the head of the CIA a few months ago and leaked information about him gleaned from private documents. (In street-speak, this is known as doxing someone.)
Now he’s claiming to have done the same thing to the country’s top spy, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper.
Motherboard says that the alleged hacktivist, known as Cracka, got in touch with the publication on Monday and claimed to have broken into a series of accounts connected to Clapper – including his home telephone and internet, his personal email, and his wife’s Yahoo email.
Cracka is one half of the group CWA (“Crackas With Attitude”), who describe themselves as a duo of pot-smoking, pro-Palestine 13-year-olds, who socially engineered Verizon and got it to reset CIA Director John Brennan’s AOL address in October.
After taking over Brennan’s email, they posted what appeared to be taxpayer and other personal information of more than a dozen top US intelligence officials, plus a government letter about the use of “harsh interrogation techniques” on terrorism suspects.
Brennan called the attack an “outrage” that demonstrates the power of ill-intentioned actors in a cyber-enhanced world.
CNN quoted him:
What it does is to underscore just how vulnerable people are to those who want to cause harm. We really have to evolve to deal with these new threats and challenges.
The FBI subsequently put out a warning about such attacks against politicians and law enforcement officials.
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a multi-agency task force led by the FBI, issued an alert in November, warning “officers and officials” that they were at risk of having their email accounts compromised and their personal information doxed by “threat actors.”
In this most recent attack, Cracka told Motherboard that while he had control of Clapper’s Verizon FiOS account, he changed the settings so that calls to Clapper’s house number would get forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement, in keeping with the previous, Palestine-themed attack on Brennan.
According to the Guardian, DNI spokesman Brian Hale said in a written statement that the agency is “aware of the matter and [has] notified the appropriate authorities.”
Motherboard followed up by calling a phone number that belongs to Clapper, according to public records.
Reporter Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchiera’s call did, in fact, get forwarded to Paul Larudee, the co-founder of the Free Palestine Movement. Larudee told Franceschi-Bicchiera that he’d been getting calls for Clapper for an hour and that an anonymous caller told him that he had set Clapper’s number to forward calls to the organization.
Cracka also supplied Motherboard with a call log for Clapper’s home number.
When Franceschi-Bicchiera called one of the numbers, a woman answered and identified herself as an executive at Ball Aerospace and a former senior executive at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
She laughed nervously and hung up.
WHAT TO DO?
Unfortunately, the more information an attacker has, the more convincing a social engineering attack can be.
In this case, both Clapper’s home address and phone number were available through a simple Google search.
To avoid becoming a victim of social engineering or phishing the IC3 offers these tips:
- Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits, or email messages from individuals asking about employees or other internal information. If an unknown individual claims to be from a legitimate organization, try to verify his or her identity directly with the company.
- Do not provide personal information or information about your organization, including its structure or networks, unless you are certain of a person’s authority to have the information.
- Do not reveal personal or financial information in email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information. This includes following links sent in email.
- Don’t send sensitive information over the internet before checking a website’s security.
- Pay attention to the URL of a website. Malicious websites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com vs. .net).
- If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, try to verify it by contacting the company directly. Do not use contact information provided on a website connected to the request; instead, check previous statements for contact information. Information about known phishing attacks is also available online from groups such as the Anti-Phishing Working Group.
- Install and maintain anti-virus software, firewalls, and email filters to reduce some of this traffic.
- Take advantage of any anti-phishing features offered by your email client and web browser.

Yesterday, I came home to an email from you saying that you had suspended my account due to "repeated" violations of your policies. And by repeated I mean two.
The fatal pin in question would not have raised an eyebrow had it appeared in the pages of a high fashion magazine – although it might be said that the lady in question had a body shape that would never be seen in the pages of such a publication. My original transgression was likewise bordering on the art house nude. I can only assume that there was nothing else you objected to on my boards, since these were the only pins you ever warned me about.
Yet someone, somewhere, must have reported them, although you did at least say that it wasn't me that had been reported but that they had been removed from another board from which I'd just happened to "repin".
Still, I guess that what makes me most annoyed. To UPLOAD these "outrageous" images is one thing but all I did was to repin them from someone else. Indeed, looking at the links to the images you supplied I could not even remember doing it so it must have been a while ago. It's clearly not enough to believe that a pin is "safe" because you found it on Pinterest.
And the fact that both of the pins mentioned above were on "secret" boards – not visible to anyone except me – makes my "punishment" even harder to bear.
I can understand that such a "found" pin might leave to it being deleted by you, but deleting the whole account is a step too far.
I had almost 11,000 pins on my boards, and my follower/followed numbers were in high-three figures. The vast majority of these pins were completely anodyne and SFW (safe for work) and I referred to them on a daily basis in my professional and private life.
But I suppose what really sticks in my craw is the fact that other pins keep appearing on Pinterest despite the fact that they depict cruelty, aggression, hate speech, and even child sexual abuse. One such image I was unfortunate enough to see – and which I immediately reported – I have since spotted on various boards almost a dozen times more in the intervening six weeks. It does seem a very patchy response as regards "violation" of policies, let alone criminal law.
I would suggest that if a Pinner were to UPLOAD an image which breached Ts&Cs that might count as grounds for termination of their service (perhaps first deleting the board on which it appeared as a first warning) and certainly to delete every repin.
But how can deleting a whole account for twice repinning something in good faith be fair or reasonable?
So Pinterest, I'm starting all over again, waiting for the day when something I had no grounds for thinking was offensive once more causes you to throw your toys out of the pram.

How to Make Coins in FUT 15 – FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Coins Making Guide
In this article, we review some easy coin making tips in FUT 15. With this tutorial you will learn how to earn a lot of coins in a simple way and without spending real money. There are many options to earn coins fast in FIFA 15 UT. Here we go through some of them:
Play and Complete Matches
Playing and finishing any type of matches will cause you earn coins. Make sure you complete the matches you are going to play. Do not leave a game even when you’re losing it, even a loss gives you some amount of FIFA coins as for match rewards. You can see how many coins you have earned with details in Match Awards list after completing a match.
You will earn coins for goals you scored, corner kicks, match possession percentage, shots on target, clean sheets, man of the match winner, successful tackles and pass accuracy percentage. But, offsides, goals against, fouls and cards also will cause you coins reduction.
Play single player (offline) season and tournament matches. By finishing tournaments and seasons you will earn coin awards – no matter if you are eliminated, relegated, held in the current season or promoted. Set your difficulty level to low (amateur, semi-pro etc.) if you’re not able to beat the AI, however in higher divisions and tournaments you have to play in high level of difficulties.
Playing against the Team of the Week (TOTW) will also give you coins. If you win against an active TOTW match, you will make coins from 150 to 1000 coins (depending on the difficulty level you choose).
Here is a trick to take the challenge against the Team of the Week: Start playing with the highest level of difficulty which is the “Ultimate”. If you cannot beat it, then go down (try Legendary), if you still cannot beat them, go for Professional and so on. This will let you earn coins until you complete the Team of the Week challenge. You should go from the highest to the lowest.
Buy the Coin Making Items from the Catalogue
At EA Sports FC Catalogue you can get FUT Coin Reward Boosts which will give you additional FUT coins for your next matches. After buying FUT Coin Reward Boosts by spending FCC, it will automatically add coins to your rewards after a certain number of your next matches – the number of matches depends on the boost item you buy.
To do so, go to the Catalogue window, then to Ultimate Team tab. There, depends on your FCC (Football Club Credits) and the level you have reached, you will see your unlock items. Look for the “FUT Coin Reward Boosts”. Once you move over the item, it shows the details at the right hand side window, which says how many FUT coins you will get for how many matches and how many FCC you need to spend on that item. BTW, your FCC number is visible on the top right of your screen – at Notification panel.
There are also some UT tradeable items at Football Club > Catalogue > Gameplay section, they are Ball and Kit Bundles. Yes, you are able to trade these items on FUT Transfer Market once redeemed.
Trade Players and Other Items
Trading players is also a good way to earn coins in Ultimate Team. The simplest way to do so is to buy a player card and sell it for a higher price. Keep in mind that EA is taking a 5% taxation from each selling transaction, so once an item is sold on transfer market, five percent of it goes to EA. That means to profit from a transaction, your benefit should be more than 5%, otherwise you will lose coins.
Check out our FUT Tax Calculator which helps you calculate EA tax before you do your actual transaction – URL: www.fifplay.com/fut-tax-calculator
Besides trading players, trading other cards and items are also useful to make virtual money (coins). Manager cards are also good to trade with. Sometimes, you can find some manager cards with a low Buy Now price. For example, once I found a Juergen Klinsmann card for 200 Buy Now price, I managed to buy it and sold it for 2200 coins. I guess the owner didn’t have any idea what was happening, perhaps because he didn’t know much about the managers and manager cards or something like that.
Here are some common and easy ways to trade player and other cards for making coins:
The One Hour Transfer Window
Usually, people put their items on the Transfer Market for one hour as the minimum auction time is an hour. This opportunity allows you to get many players and other items for a cheaper price. The thing you need to do is to go to Transfer Market and check item’s Remaining Time. Go to the cards that have 59 minutes left – To do so, you need to scroll the page a lot – So, be patient. Then see the good players/items with low Buy Now price, then buy them and re-sell them for higher prices.
Buy to Quick Sell
Some cheap players or items that you can find on transfer markets are actually offered with a cheaper price than their Quick Sell values. For example, players with 78 overall ratings can be quick sold for 312 coins. So, if you see a 78 player card on the market with 300 coins or even below, buy it immediately, because, by quick selling them you can still earn money fast. Check out also our FUT Quick Sell Prices to find out all cards quick sell values – URL: www.fifplay.com/fut-15-quick-sell-values

I’m not sure I can explain well in words why I chose to receive jukai or tokudo because I don’t think I knew why I was doing it. I just felt that I would. There was a pull to do both that I didn’t understand but which felt important to honour.
There was a jukai ceremony during my first Crosby retreat, about 6 months after I first came to StoneWater for an introduction session. During that jukai ceremony I felt a sort of sense of recognition and a feeling in my guts that I would do it myself sometime. It felt strong enough for me to just “know” but it didn’t stop a stream of thoughts and objections from popping up in the following months. Why did I need to do a stupid ceremony? I wasn’t religious, oh no, not me. Why a need to call myself anything? Was that just trying to pin a label on the human experience of life and practice? Why not just keep sitting? And what was with those silly looking bibs? Those thoughts burnt themselves out and within a couple of months I asked to receive jukai. I still couldn’t have explained why I was doing it but with my head no longer coming up with objections the pull to do it inevitably won. During the period while I was sewing the rakusu I was dealing with some traumatic memories and bottled away emotions. The first half of my rakusu was sewn with tears streaming down my face, barely able to see. At times making one stitch after another felt like the only thing that made sense. I sewed some of my rakusu on the rocks behind Butterwick during a Lakes retreat, with the sheep and the landscape for company and feeling settled and stabilised by the setting, the stitches and the practice. The rakusu stopped feeling like a silly looking bib and started to feel like part of me. It was definitely imperfect (the first side I sewed was pretty wonky) but I loved it all the more for that. When I lost my rakusu a few years later, after a Hanamatsuri ceremony in the zendo, it felt like a huge loss.
None of my family were present for the ceremony but two of my walking/swimming friends attended and it was lovely to hear their laughter when they heard that my new dharma name Kokai meant “Great Ocean Way”. It probably reminded them of my excited childlike glee whenever there is an option of plunging into the ocean.
The ceremony itself felt lovely and “right”. I had no doubts about it but I think it was probably about a year later when it really struck me as meaningful. I was sitting in the zendo and suddenly wearing the rakusu felt such a privilege. I knew I’d be doing this practice a lifetime and that felt like a beautiful thing and I was so grateful to everyone else who had ever done or taught Zen practice and made it possible for me to.
My decision to receive tokudo was similar. The first time I saw a tokudo ceremony I had the same feeling of recognition that I’d one day do it. This time I really did not like that idea and my head’s objections were far stronger. The thought of myself as a monk wearing Harry Potter like robes seemed beyond ridiculous. And the very idea of having all my hair shaved off and then going about my everyday life, going to Asda or turning up at the large work meetings I attend bald, no that really didn’t feel possible. Why the **** would I ever want to do that? And yet I also knew that I would. The tussle between that certainty and the resistance was an internal battle that raged and then fizzled out. Once it had I found myself saying to Roshi that I’d be happy to receive tokudo at some point, expecting that to be years off. It wasn’t and six months later there I was with robes and a shaved head and feeling perfectly at ease with both. I actually loved my shaved head, the feel of the cold autumn air on the bare scalp. I’d told a lot of people in advance but I mix with hundreds of people in my work role and I hadn’t pre-warned enough people. A lot of people made a link between my bald head and chemo and assumed I was seriously ill. After finding out that someone had spent all weekend worrying about me before a colleague of theirs could tell them “Oh no Sarah isn’t ill, she’s just become a monk” I started looking out for the sad eyes and expressions of concern when people saw my bald head and pre-empting their concerns by saying “don’t worry it’s not health related”. I was once in a large boardroom with about 30 people, mainly doctors, around the table and had that now familiar reassuring conversation with one person and found the message passed around the table with a collective sense of exhaling. It was lovely that people cared enough to be concerned but I decided I’d let my hair grow back. I didn’t like the worried expression on people’s faces. I discovered that my hair regrows in a strange way and the regrowth included months of it looking like a toilet brush. I liked that much less than the feeling of no hair!
The ceremony itself felt both lovely and daunting. The vows (largely the same as in jukai) felt much weightier this time and at times it was hard to find my voice to say them. The robes, much as they are unwieldy and at times on retreat can feel like a real faff to keep donning and doffing always felt sort of “right” at the same time and nowhere near as alien as I thought they might. I inherited most of my robe layers from Miranda (my usual Crosby roommate) and I sewed my kesa, by machine not by hand, but I think that sewing really helped me feel intimate with it before I ever wore it. It also really helped that lots of sangha members added a few stitches to the kesa so from the first time I wore it I literally felt like I was wearing everyone’s support. During the pandemic my robes have been hanging in the zendo and I have missed my kesa in a way I wouldn’t have expected.
My daughter bravely attended my tokudo ceremony which meant a lot to me. Two sangha members she had previously met sat with her during the ceremony and helped her feel ok about being there to witness all the strangeness. It was lovely her being there although her first words on arriving and seeing me with my head bald apart from the little strand left for shaving off during the ceremony were “Mum you look bloody awful”. The tact of teenage daughters!
It felt entirely right to have taken that step but after the ceremony I certainly felt like a very baby monk. The next tokudo ceremony I saw after mine, it felt like I was taking the vows all over again but maybe like a toddler monk. I think maybe I’m still learning what the ceremony meant. Maybe I always will be.
I understand that for some people Zen practice does not need to involve jukai or tokudo. For some reason for me it did and I’m very glad I did both. Maybe in a few decades I might be able to explain why. I’m also very glad for one of the other Zen ceremonies, shoken. This one we never see anyone else take because it’s done in private, just the student and the teacher, so this time it wasn’t seeing the ceremony that ignited that knowing that I needed to do it; it was just a short mention of it in a zendo talk and a few days later I was in interview asking to do this strange shoken thing. With this one there was no thinking, no objection, just an absolute certainty that it was what I needed to do. I think this little ceremony which came before my jukai and tokudo was probably for me the most important of the three. I definitely needed it and the formalising and deepening of the connection to Roshi as my teacher that it represented. Thank you very much to Roshi and to StoneWater.

Excess abdominal fat is one of the leading precursors to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and several types of cancer. It is also uncomfortable and can be challenging to your self-esteem. A little softness around the middle is normal and healthy, but if you are carrying around more than you want it might be time to shift your eating habits.
Ending abdominal obesity requires frequent exercise, adequate rest, and eating the right types of belly fat burning foods. Yes, despite what you might think, you need to eat food to burn fat. Starving ourselves only slows down the metabolism and increases the production of stress hormones, which means any food we do eat is digested more slowly and turned into fat more easily.
The key is to eat the right kinds of foods, in appropriate amounts, at the right time of day. Overeating at any time is not going to help you burn belly fat, but neither is eating a low-fat diet full of processed carbohydrates. These five, belly fat burning foods, when enjoyed in moderation, can help you lose the bulge and feel healthier in your body.
1. High Protein Foods
Eating foods that are high in protein boosts the metabolism. And these foods are digested and absorbed slowly, helping to maintain even blood sugar levels. Protein contributes to the development of lean muscle and is not converted to fat as quickly as carbohydrates.
Protein is especially important for breakfast, as it helps set the stage for keeping balanced blood sugar levels all day. If you are trying to burn belly fat never skip breakfast or just have a high-carb cereal with no protein or fat, rather eat a filling meal that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fat.
Raw vegans can get complete protein from hemp seeds, chia seeds, and sprouted quinoa, or a raw vegan protein powder that has combined plant foods to provide all 20 amino acids. Soaked almonds are also a good source of protein.
2. Our Friend, Fiber
Fiber is crucial for any type of weight loss program, especially when trying to burn belly fat. Fiber helps keep the colon functioning optimally, so we can fully absorb the nutrients from the food we eat. It also helps us feel full for longer, staving off cravings and snacking.
High fiber foods include avocados, flax and chia seeds, nearly all fruits and vegetables, and sprouted gluten-free whole grains like quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth.
3. Red Fruits
Red fruits provide a lot of nutrition with very few calories. The phytonutrients they contain that are specific to red foods alter the constitution and circulation of blood lipids (fat in the bloodstream). This interferes with the lipids’ ability to deposit in the belly.
Red foods are also usually high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Enjoy watermelon, tomatoes, dark red cherries, and berries to satisfy your sweet tooth while helping your body burn belly fat.
4. Green Veggies
Is there anything greens can’t do? Truly, we call leafy green veggies “superfoods” for good reason. Green vegetables like kale, spinach, arugula, cilantro, chard, and broccoli are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and special compounds that boost the metabolism and support digestion.
Some greens, like celery and parsley, are actually negative calorie foods. This means more calories are burned digesting these foods than they provide, though you still get the vitamins and fiber. Enjoy green veggies in abundance with every meal.
5. Fabulous Fats
Contrary to what you might think, we need to eat fat to burn fat. Not just any fat, of course. Animal fats and trans fats are to be avoided, but monounsaturated plant-based fats are crucial for letting go of belly fat. This includes soaked almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and avocados.
As if we didn’t already have enough reasons to love avocados, they especially shine as a belly fat burning food. Avos are also anti-bacterial anti-fungal, which means eating them makes it easier to flush out the toxins that usually get stored in adipose tissue. They contain the amino acid lecithin, which supports healthy liver functioning – a key component for burning belly fat.
As fat is very calorie dense, it is important to watch portion sizes when eating it – even healthy fat. A serving of almonds is just 1/4 cup, and one medium-sized avocado (split into two or three servings) is plenty of fat for your whole day.
Burning belly fat may require a radical shift in lifestyle habits. Frequent exercise, adequate sleep and especially appropriate amounts of the right kinds of foods are necessary. You cannot starve yourself and lose fat sustainably, but making careful eating choices is very important. Focus on including high fiber, high protein foods, plenty of greens and some plant-based fat, and you will be well on your way to a healthy middle.

WASHINGTON — A woman who drove into the CIA headquarters compound in McLean, Virginia, with a loaded gun, a passport and $100,000 in cash while wearing a wig is being held without bond.
Charging documents said Beth Huth drove her white Kia Soul onto CIA property in Langley last Friday afternoon past signs restricting access and warning against possessing weapons or ammunition.
According to an affidavit filed by CIA security protective service officer Michael Szczepanik, a CIA security protective service officer asked Huth for her badge — instead she produced a handwritten note.
The officer asked Huth if she was able to speak, and she nodded yes.
Asked if she was carrying anything illegal, Huth nodded yes, and reached for her black handbag resting on the passenger seat.
The officer ordered her to stop and write what she was searching for. She wrote “Gun.”
“I looked inside the handbag and found a loaded 9 mm pistol with four rounds of ammunition in the magazine and one round of ammunition in the chamber,” the officer wrote. “The safety mechanism for the loaded weapon was not engaged.”
Also found in the car were directions printed from a website that instructed how to drive from Ohio to “Langley, McLean, Virginia.”
Huth is charged with one count of possessing a weapon at a federal agency.
In U.S. District Court, in Alexandria, Tuesday, prosecutors said Huth suffers from mental health issues and is a flight risk, reported The Washington Post. Huth was wearing a wig when she drove to the CIA, and had a passport and $100,000 in cash.
Huth was ordered held without bond, and is due in court for a status hearing May 1.

A man who served 15 years for the gruesome murder of a famous German actor is taking legal action against Wikipedia for reporting the conviction.
Attorneys took the action on behalf of Wolfgang Werlé, one of two men to receive a life sentence for the 1990 murder of Walter Sedlmayr. In a letter sent late last month to Wikipedia officials, they didn't dispute their client was found guilty, but they nonetheless demanded Wikipedia's English language biography of the Bavarian star suppress the convicted murder's name because he is considered a private individual under German law.
Werlé's "rehabilitation and his future life outside the prison system is severely impacted by your unwillingness to anonymize any articles dealing with the murder of Mr. Walter Sedlmayr with regard to our client's involvement," they wrote. "As your article deals with a local German public figure (such as the actor Walter Sedlmayr), we expect you are aware that you have to comply with applicable German law."
They go on to say they are currently taking legal action against Wikipedia in the trial court of Hamburg. And according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Werlé's attorneys have also gone after an Austrian internet service provider that published the names of the convicted.
The dispute is the latest example of a party reaching halfway across the globe in an attempt to deprive the world of content that may or may not violate the laws of a single jurisdiction. If such actions succeed, they will largely gut free speech rights such as those guaranteed by the First Amendment, which mostly immunizes people who speak the truth, particularly in matters that involve court cases and other government proceedings. In its place would be the precedent that websites anywhere in the world are subject to the most restrictive territory's rules and mores.
As EFF Senior Staff Attorney Jennifer Granick said: "At stake is the integrity of history itself. If all publications have to abide by the censorship laws of any and every jurisdiction just because they are accessible over the global internet, then we will not be able to believe what we read, whether about Falun Gong (censored by China), the Thai king (censored under lèse majesté) or German murders."
It was only 14 months ago that The Register reported the attempts of Kentucky officials to seize control of some of the world's most popular gambling domain names because a judge ruled they offered services that were illegal in that state. At the time, we wondered what the difference was between that action and the censorship China exercises towards Tibet. Four months later, an appeals court answered, in essence, "not much," when it ruled the state lacked the legal authority to commence the seizure.
Wikipedia's German language entry on Sedlmayr already takes pains to omit the names of the men convicted of his murder, even though it reports he "was injured with multiple stab wounds on the neck and kidneys and then been beaten to death with a hammer." If Werlé's parochial legal demands succeed, robust speech on the global internet will suffer a similar fate. ®

Last week a number of Israeli news outlets reported that the Israeli Defense Forces had made the decision to replace the Tavor bullpup rifle in service with the M4 Carbine. The IDF have now confirmed that this isn’t the case.
Tavor @ TFB:
- Cutaway IWI Tavor
- TFB Review: IWI Tavor TS12 Shotgun
- Gold IWI Tavor Rifles Spotted With The Thailand King’s Guard
As part of the staff work on the optimal extraction of the weapons of the combat formation, it was decided these days to purchase additional weapons of the Tavor type.
The decision, the land arm notes, was made as part of the annual work plan, which weighs considerations of economic uniformity, adjustment to the designation of power, regular-reserve compliance, and so on.
For a decade now, the Tavor, a blue-and-white weapon, has been used by many infantry units and brigades in the IDF in a variety of sectors, and it will be distributed to fighters in the relevant units in the coming recruitment rounds as well. “We are very pleased with his abilities,” say in the land arm armament department, “he delivers very good performance, and proves himself.”
As stated, as part of the staff’s work for the preservation of weapons in the IDF, which was done recently, more Tavor will be purchased: “It is used by our combat formation very efficiently, and will continue to be used in the future
IWI – Israel Weapon Industries – a member of the SK GROUP (founded by Mr. Samy Katsav), and a worldwide leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for governments, armies, and law enforcement agencies around the world is proud by the additional procurement of the Micro-TAVOR assault rifle by the IDF, to be in service by infantry units.The decision was made as part of the IDF’s complete annual plan, taking under consideration significant parameters such as adaption to the forces’ missions in the modern battlefield, compliance between acting duty forces and reserve and more.Designed for militaries, law Enforcement agencies, and special forces, the Micro-TAVOR (X95) was developed in close cooperation with elite units of the IDF, and was tailored to their specific requirements. Incorporating advanced technology enabling the conversion between calibers within minutes, special ops can use the same weapon platform for a wide array of scenarios, for mission success.With an outstanding effective range of more than 500 meters, the Micro-TAVOR was created to deal with modern terror threats, as well as urban and open area combat – all in one mission. Exceptionally reliable in even the harshest weather conditions, the Micro-TAVOR complies with the most stringent NATO standards for small arms, including environmental standards. Combat-proven by many police and armed forces around the world, it is the standard Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rifle.According to Ronen Hamudot, Exe. VP Marketing and sales: ” The TAVOR family has been in use by various units of the IDF for the past 15 years. This announcement by the IDF for further procurement is yet another evidence for the TAVOR’s high performance and reliability in the field”.The Micro-TAVOR is a designed by users’ platform. IWI’s engineers are still serving as reserve in the IDF, hence like all IWI’s products, the Micro-TAVOR was designed and developed according to their own experience in the field. We are very proud of this ongoing long-term cooperation with the IDF, and the Micro-TAVOR being once again the weapon of choice.Hamudot adds, “IWI works closely with its worldwide customer base, providing solutions that are designed to meet their specific needs.” He goes on to say, “The Micro-TAVOR is one of the most popular weapons of its category in the world – a success based on its exceptional effectiveness and reliability. We continue to develop a range of new configurations and applications in order to ensure its effectiveness in the widest possible range of situations and field requirements.”

Biden, Bloomberg Describe Second Amendment Supporters with Vulgarities and Slurs
What is it with the elitist political class and their insulting, arrogant, even vulgar comments about gun owners and others who live in Heartland America? It’s been going on a long time and continues to this day, even though it gets gun control supporters nowhere.
In 1985, then-New York governor Mario Cuomo said that people who oppose mandatory seat belt laws are “hunters who drink beer, don’t vote, and lie to their wives about where they were all weekend.” A few years later, the late Sen. Edward Kennedy--of Chappaquiddick infamy--accused the NRA of being in an “unholy alliance” with drug pushers, because we opposed legislation to ban general-purpose semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15.
Then, in 2008, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama said that Americans who live in small towns “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Now, with the November elections approaching, the task of motivating anti-gun voters by telling them that they’re smarter and more cosmopolitan than we are is being taken up by Vice-President Joe Biden and America’s self-absorbed, self-appointed national nanny, Michael Bloomberg.

Novel Coronavirus Infection in Saudi Arabia (Update)
30 May 2013
The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has notified WHO of an additional five laboratory-confirmed cases with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
MERS-CoV was previously named novel coronavirus (VCoV) infection.
All five patients are from the Eastern region of the country, but not from Al-Ahsa, where an outbreak began in a health care facility in April 2013. The patients, 3 males and 2 females had an age range of 56-85 years and all had underlying medical conditions which required multiple hospital visits. The government is conducting investigations into the likely source of infection in both the health care and the community settings.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 49 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 27 deaths.
Advice for Travellers
The risk associated with novel coronavirus to the general UK population remains extremely low and the risk to travellers to the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding countries remains very low.
No travel restrictions are in place, however, some countries have implemented enhanced health surveillance (including thermal scanning) of incoming travellers, and those from the Arabian Peninsula may be subject to a more thorough screening.
Travellers who develop severe respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, within fourteen days of returning from these countries should seek medical advice and mention which countries they have visited.

Do We REALLY Need Antivirus Software?
Some antivirus software’s are poorly created, often leaving massive holes in a person’s cyber defense. Others are secretly harvesting data. But a good antivirus program will make sure that you and your devices are safe. Some PC makers will preload antivirus software and try to coerce you into signing up for it because that’s how they make money. But you shouldn’t ever feel pressured, and you likely don’t need whatever it is they’re selling. The short answer is yes, antivirus software can prevent things like network hacks, phishing websites, financial theft, and even traditional computer “viruses”. Some of them can even prevent identity theft. That doesn’t always mean the software that comes with your computer is right for you though. Do your research and determine what your individual needs are and look for software’s that offer those things.

- Maya Deren, 1944
"The cinema of Maya Deren delivers us from the studios: it presents our eyes with physical facts which contain profound psychological meaning; it beats out within our hearts or upon our hearts a time which alternates, continues, revolves, pounds, or flies away.... One escapes from the stupidity of make-believe. One is in the reality of the cinematic fact, captured by Maya Deren at that point where the lens cooperates as a prodigious discoverer."

This is a new recording of (as the name suggests) music for horn by Etienne Cutajar, featuring violinist Carmine Lauri and pianist John Reid.
The music comes from Beethoven, Brahms and Richard Strauss as well as modern composers Heinz Holliger, Jesmond Grixti and Jörg Widman; the work Mdina is by Grixti. Cutajar is principal horn with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.
This is an enjoyable album with a varied and interesting sound, thanks to the balance between the more dominant horn and the piano. The variety of styles, from polite chamber music to some more out-there modern music, works well. It’s all very cheery, too.
It opens conventionally, with a robust horn fanfare then delicate piano, before the two combine. We listened to this a number of times before looking what anything was: we thought this pleasingly traditional, and it’s Beethoven, Sonata for Horn and Piano. The two instruments give it a warm sound, and the opening movement is an enjoyable eight minutes.
The shorter (1.20) second movement starts off as the first part left off, the horn caressing and more gentle, the piano matching the tone, merging nicely into the third movement, Rondo Allegro.
Air für Horn (1973, from Jörg Widmann) sees the mood change, opening with a more mournful horn, a kind of slower take on Thus Spoke Zarathustra’s opening bars, mournful becoming more raucous as the piece proceeds. Say the sleeve notes: “Widmann … fluctuates between open and stopped notes creating a natural work on the themes of proximity and distance.”
Strauss’s Andante for Horn and Piano is a more fluid piece, with sombre keyboard, almost the soundtrack music for a Scandi noir television show.
The title track is next, Mdina seeing more solo riffing and a modern sound, daring and adventuresome. The sleeve notes say that classical pieces for horn are uncommon, but Grixti took up the challenge of writing not just solo but unaccompanied works for the horn. “By removing the support of a ‘harmony’ instrument such as the pianoforte, composers bring the horn’s sound qualities to the fore, exploiting the instrument’s traditions,” say the notes.
Brahms closes, and we return to a more traditional sound.
It is — without being condescending — a nice little album, in as much as it sets out to be no more than it is, and it’s got a definite warmth and even sense of fun. Very enjoyable.
This is out now on Divine Art, DDA25189.

From the age of about 13 onwards, I have actually suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I have actually primarily come to terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I certainly wouldn’t mind being less so. I’ve had counselling before, and it does assist.
And drawing back from my own (relatively subtle) problems for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health issues escalating amongst under-30s? With cuts to mental health services actually starting to bite, digitised therapy could be just the ticket for young adults who currently filter almost every aspect of their lives– pals, work, sex, entertainment– through a screen.
Not everyone is totally persuaded that moving mental health care online is the way forward. “For me, what works in treatment is when you meet someone face-to-face, in the same room,” says London-based psychotherapist Sandra Tapie. “You are familiar with not just what it resembles to speak to the individual, however how it feels to be in a space with them. Utilizing Skype is the next best thing: it’s ‘good enough’, but it does not create the closeness, the intimacy, that really gets individuals to open and check out things.”.
” I have actually carried out some research into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of traditional counselling; it’s just not quite the same thing. It’s really important that people who take part in it understand that it’s a different experience from being in the space with somebody, speaking face-to-face.” Best Child Behavioral Therapist Near Me

They feel that if they have a larger penis dimension, after that it will certainly be easier for them to please their partners. The primary concern currently is, do you have a big penis? If your solution is no, as well as you are still waiting to figure out the trick on just how to make your penis bigger, you require to read this write-up right away.
There are 3 types of penis dimension, which are average penis, huge penis and small penis. We can separate these kinds based on the size, thickness and size of the penises. Guy with huge penis might have thick as well as long penises. This mean that their penises are bigger as well as longer compared to the ones with tiny penis size. Male with little penises have thinner and shorter penises.
Most men, despite having big penis, are pleased with their sex efficiency. Despite the fact that they have larger as well as thicker penises, they still locate it tough to execute like ladies in bed. The reason behind this problem is their lack of ability to maintain an erection long enough.
You can turn your small penis right into a large penis, but you need to do particular things initially. There are two means, one is by taking natural tablets, and an additional is by doing penis exercises. Herbal tablets are excellent pills to take, due to the fact that they promote blood flow in your body. As your blood circulation boosts, the high blood pressure in your penis likewise enhances, offering your penis a lot more erection. On the other hand, by doing the penis workouts, your body will certainly discover to come to be less responsive, making you achieve rock difficult erections each time.
Your penis size and also girth depend a great deal on just how much erect penis you can obtain. If you can get about half an inch of upright penis, you can enhance its size up to six inches in length. This means that if you are trying to find the largest and best-looking penis, six inches is the measurement that you need to be going for. This dimension will certainly additionally allow you to become a good performer in bed, due to the fact that it will certainly allow your penis to maintain a hard erection enough time for you to offer your companion a climax. In addition, you ought to also attempt to boost the girth of your penis too.
Currently, suppose you have a little penis? Don’t stress. You can still have a large penis. All you need to do is to get a grip tool and use it regularly. You see, many people that have small penises don’t have the capacity to obtain erect fast enough to reach their objectives, so they fall short when it comes to having big penises.
What is unusual is that most of women really favor guys with medium-sized penises. Females tend to assume that guys with large penises are much better in bed, due to the fact that it will certainly make them feel much more comfortable. But according to sex-related researchers, women really like guys with medium-sized penises. So if you have a little penis, it does not suggest that you must just let it go, since there are ways to make your penis larger.
Here is among one of the most efficient methods to make your penis bigger: utilizing penis augmentation lotions. These unique creams work by sending out a surge of nitric oxide with the blood stream, which creates the cells in your penis to multiply. Consequently, your penile dimension will boost in time, due to the fact that the variety of cells will be sufficient to make your penis bigger. You must likewise try penis workouts, such as jelqing, since these workouts create your penile chambers to inflate.
Are you searching for a penis augmentation approach that in fact works? The typical male penis size is just around 5.2 inches when put up and regarding 3.6 inches when drooping and also concerning 4.5 inches when completely put up. While there are various methods of penis enhancement, only a few are genuinely effective. It’s also real that bigger penises will not always correspond with better enjoyment as well as can as a matter of fact create your partner pain throughout intercourse.
Penis extenders have actually become an option that several men use as a means to acquire a bigger penis size and also to deal with penile curvature. Penis extenders are simply a belt that you use while you are in the bathroom or shower and it assists to lengthen the shaft of the penis. The outcomes of this technique usually last for only a couple of months and also after that the belt requires to be worn once more. The girth of the penis does not alter yet you do obtain length by adding an inch or 2.
Sextoy Penis Extender Vibro
This method nonetheless is not what you ought to be looking for if you are looking for a long-term rise in the size of your penis. For starters, the effects disappear. In time, your penis gets even smaller sized. There are numerous reported situations of erection failing because of the belts. This indicates that it is ineffective for all kinds of sexual activities. Even if you were able to use the tool while your companion slept, she would certainly most likely wake up in the early morning and also notice that your penis was considerably smaller sized than in the past.
If you desire a risk-free and all-natural way to improve the dimension of your erections after that it should have the ability to provide you inches upon inches of girth. It must increase both the width and also the size of your erection. The most reliable gadgets enhance by approximately 3 inches monthly, however many men see even higher gains. Some guys have even reported gains of 8 inches when wearing the devices.
The device uses a silicone covering, which enhances the ability of the tool to grasp the penis much more securely. During a professional study, the ordinary erect penis dimensions raised by 3 to 4 inches with regular usage. Not all males will see these outcomes, but it is certainly possible. If you have the ability to add an inch or so to your erections, the size as well as size of your erections will increase as well.
When I review stories about penis enhancement products, one thing that continually pops up is the problem of impractical expectations. One guy says that the devices he acquired never ever functioned, and also an additional man states that he has actually had difficulty accomplishing an erection with his item. These people state that their impotence is because of a mix of bad diet plan and also excessive working out.
The fact is that a great deal of the products on the market are not very effective whatsoever. While many guys assert to have actually seen success with pills and also patches, these products are not a true service. Penis pumps are one more alternative, however numerous guys report just marginal results, if any kind of in all. According to the research study, the only consistent and also trustworthy approach for enhancing penis size was a traction tool.
Grip devices are developed to apply stress to the penis, compeling the cells in the corpora cavernosa to expand new cells. According to the research, several guys see their penis size boost by in between 6 to ten inches within the initial month. These results are backed by clinical research study, as the cells in the penis to allow for a less complicated as well as much more fast healing from sex-related issues, including impotence.
If you want to impress your partner with something big and also striking, I very recommend the Usage a Large Penis Pump. It’s the latest marvel to strike the male enhancement market as well as has actually obtained thousands of males buzzing all over the world. I myself got a decent buzz from making use of one in our bed room and also I have to state it was well worth the financial investment.

Ministry Programs in Guatemala Impact the Lives of Young Filmmakers
— Mary Kathryn Tiller · Tuesday, August 7, 2018 —
It’s five in the morning, and sisters Emily and Hannah Puder are sipping on warm cups of coffee, preparing to shoot the sunrise over Antigua, Guatemala. They are two of the eleven students who were chosen to participate in the first trip of its kind for Regent University and Orphan Outreach. Together, these students and their professors, Vince Williams and Peggy Southerland, were ready to find the stories of those served by Orphan Outreach — but they weren’t prepared to have their own stories impacted forever.
Vince Williams was a new hire for Professor Peggy Southerland in 2017. An award-winning videographer, Williams embodies Regent’s mission to equip Christian leaders to change the world.
“When I entered the film industry, my prayer was to use video to promote the message of Christ throughout the world. I saw film for what it was: the most powerful communication tool on earth. Film influences people. I waited for about a decade for God to answer that prayer when I met Amy Norton (Director of Programs for Orphan Outreach in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe) on a film set. We tried out a test run trip to Guatemala for three days and I've been volunteering for Orphan Outreach ever since. I have met some incredible people along the way. It has been truly life and career changing for me.” Williams says.
When he accepted the position at Regent, Williams had already felt God place the dream to take students abroad on his heart. The opportunity came sooner than expected, however, when, during an open meeting with students, Professor Southerland suggested he organize a trip for that coming summer. Williams didn’t need convincing, and after an overwhelming show of support from Regent’s board of directors, what began as mere suggestion suddenly became a full fledge plan.
“God’s hand has directed this trip from beginning to end. I trusted that He would take care of calling students if myself, Peggy, Orphan Outreach and Regent University could open the door for the trip. My desire was to bring students with a heart for mission work and a passion for the film industry. Amazing things can happen when you combine those two things.” Williams explains.
Among those ten students were Emily and Hannah Puder, graduating seniors in Cinema-Television and Strategic Communications respectively, and Bruna Vilela, a junior in Cinema-Television. While some of the students had been abroad and on mission trips before, these three girls had not. This would be a completely new experience for them and they were thrilled.
“I have always wanted to go overseas; I love to travel. I knew this would be an opportunity to use all the skills I’ve been learning for the past four years to create something that could really have an impact and change people's lives.” Hannah shares.
Once they arrived, the students were divided into teams, each of which also included a director, a translator, and a representative from Orphan Outreach. The first team covered the Guatemala Association for Down Syndrome in Guatemala City providing holistic training and therapy to children with special needs and their families. The second filmed the Community Care Center in Chimaltenango focusing on the importance of education as a key to breaking the cycle of poverty. An all-girl team made up of Ms. Vilela, Ms. Puder and Ms. Puder told the story of Hope & Future, where efforts are being made to bring together the public and private sectors to provide true wraparound care to victims of sexual abuse and exploitation.
Each day the teams would gather for breakfast, and then hear a short devotional and receive the rundown for the day from the Orphan Outreach trip leader, Ronne Rock. Then, they would break into their groups and head to their respective locations for a day of filming.
Hannah Puder recalls her first visit to the government home for girls, located in Xela:
“We had been prepped for the conditions that these girls had come from. It is sobering walking into that environment. Everything is purple and lime green. All their beds are together in one room. The girls are all together most of the time. The director had all the girls come in and teach us their morning chant: ‘We are blessed. We are prosperous. We are beautiful. We are made in God’s image.’ Something about that hit me because I was looking at these girls and they don’t look blessed, they don’t look prosperous. Yet, that is how they are welcoming us, as Americans.”
As the girls moved between the government home and the private home, they could not help but be impacted by the stories they heard. Bruna Vilela was particularly affected by the interviews they recorded and often struggled to stay behind the camera:
“Sometimes I’d go to Ronne and say, ‘I need a minute alone. Why am I feeling like this?’ You don’t know if you want to cry or punch a bag or scream at the top of your lungs. I became friends with two girls in particular and that was something really special.”
The teams were able to accomplish their filming goal in just three days; a feat that is unheard of in the film industry. Once home, the students began the post-production process, editing three promotional films, three documentaries and one ‘behind the scenes” film. They plan on entering the documentaries into film festival circuit this fall.Their hope in submitting these films is singular: to inspire their viewers to action on behalf of these causes.
“Our Facebook feeds are full of short films that make you cry; but, our challenge as filmmakers is to move people to action. I want to move the viewer towards a better understanding of the circumstances in Guatemala, the world, and ultimately of themselves.” says Emily.
As for the students, their eyes have been opened to a whole new world of possibilities for their craft.
“My mom has a saying”, Vilela shares, “‘What your eyes don’t see, your heart doesn’t feel.’ Well, my eyes have seen and my heart is feeling like it's never felt before. Telling these girl’s stories has given me a sense of satisfaction that I haven’t yet felt as a filmmaker. I don't know what that means for my future exactly, but I know I want to continue helping people and sharing their stories with the world.”
Several of the students echo Vilela’s desire to continue telling stories like those of Orphan Outreach programs by using the art of filmmaking. Others, like Emily Puder, have committed to loving those in her local community better than before.
“I’m certain this trip will have an impact and a legacy for years to come.” Williams says.
Orphan Outreach is excited to unveil the new promotional videos this fall. We are certain the hard work and dedication of these students will shine through as well as their invitation for you to get involved in the incredible work happening through our partnerships in Guatemala.

Can you imagine a God who dances with shouts of joy, laughs when you laugh, loves to play, enjoys life, and invites us to join the fun? I couldn’t until recently. I grew up with a very serious, workaholic God. Even when my theology changed, I struggled to live into my new way of thinking. Then Jesus words Unless you become like a child you cannot enter the kingdom, began to resonate in my head.
What childlike characteristics shape us into the people God intends us to be? I posted my question on Facebook and was amazed at the response. Curiosity, imagination, playfulness, creativity, awe and wonder, compassion, love of nature, trust and many more emerged. I chose 12 and explore them in The Gift of Wonder encouraging us to develop fresh spiritual practices that engage all our senses and help us to live a new kind of spiritual life that embraces the wonder and joy that God intends for us. The chapter ends with a creative spiritual exercise based on the characteristic discussed in it. These exercises are designed as both individual and group activities and encourage us to think outside the box and enjoy the presence of the fun loving, joy filled God we follow.
Response to The Gift of Wonder
The wonder of mountains , of blue skies and seas
The wonder of prairies and trees
The wonder of childhood so joyfully free
All eclipsed by the wonder of three*
Three in a dance filled with frolic and glee
Calling to others come join in the spree
Delight in each other they’re unhindered, free
The essence of joy flowing out from the three
The rustle of leaves *sstsstsssts as wind blows through trees
Listen, the cadence of soft flowing breeze
Wistful the spirit now flirts in the lees
Of hearts young like children or bees
So rise up my soul in great joy , if you please
Join whimsical rhythm of wind in the trees
Don’t mince words or thought, simply reach for the keys
To the kingdom now present in sight, sound and breeze
*the trinity of course
*Listen to the swish of the wind over poplar leaves and the percussion
as they embrace one another”
The comment below is from a young mother involved in a Gift of Wonder study group:
My prayer time has changed so much just since starting this study of “The Gift of Wonder.” I no longer feel that I have to cram it in whenever the kids are both asleep (which is never… I almost never had prayer time ). Now I just sit at the table while M. brings me toys and R. kicks around in my lap and I pray. I no longer feel that I have to read a certain number of Bible pages or for a set time. I read some scripture, but also Mary Oliver, John O’Donahue, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and various prayer books and devotional resources… Just finished reading, praying, and coloring while Mary sat next to me eating a cupcake and watching birds on the feeder today. So in between verses of the Lord’s Prayer, “Look, a nuthatch!” “The downy woodpecker is back.” “I see five finches.” Etc. This no longer feels distracted or silly to me. It does feel prayerful, meaningful, fulfilling. I’m seeing/feeling God’s presence, even in my scattered, crazy life with little kids.”
Endorsements for Gift of Wonder
Christine Sine has always provided a consistently prophetic voice that is always edged with intelligence and grace and enfolded in an active spirituality of discipleship. This book continues in that vein. The Gift of Wonder takes the reader on a journey of discovery through the integration of goodness, beauty, and truth. A great read.
Alan Hirsch, author of numerous books on mission, discipleship, and leadership. Founder of 5Q Collective and Forge Mission Training Network.
For many, the term ‘spiritual disciplines’ conjures thoughts of monotonous practices performed alone and by rote. But not for Christine Sine. With her usually exuberant style she reimagines the spiritual practices as communal activities that restore the intense joy and unbridled enthusiasm God wants for all followers. The Gift of Wonder is indeed a gift for anyone wanting to explore more creative approaches to the spiritual disciplines. The exercises and prayers are worth the price of admission alone.
Michael Frost, author, Surprise the World, and Keep Christianity Weird.
Play, pray, plant, paint! Christine Aroney-Sine invites us to recover our childlike sense of wonder. Each page encourages us to pause, to exhale, to breathe in each moment with holy awe. Sine offers wise, practical ways to care for our souls by cultivating gardens—all around us. This is lived theology, rooted in the world, mediated through our eyes and ears, hearts and hands. I’m grateful for such respite and creative renewal.
Craig Detweiler, President, The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology
There’s a deep desire among so many people I work with as a spiritual director and pastor to connect with God in a new way, to get out of their heads and into their bodies and hearts, to lighten up and play, to experience joy and healing. Christine Sine is one of my favorite writers and practitioners because she brings things to life in simple yet profound ways; the Gift of Wonder is a wonderful mix of accessible spiritual practices, stories, and hope for those who long to experience the kingdom of God here, now. I have no doubt it will re-kindle delight and ignite our sense of wonder for all who engage with it.
Kathy Escobar, Co-Pastor of The Refuge and author of Faith Shift: Finding Your Way Forward When Everything You Believe is Coming Apart
I trust Christine Sine to teach me about wonder because she lives with playful curiosity, discovering beauty in the unexpected and the everyday details of life— and she writes with uncommon eloquence and simplicity.
Mark Scandrette, author of Belonging and Becoming, Practicing the Way of Jesus and FREE.
As a pastor committed to the spiritual nurture and formation of my congregation, this book is a dream resource. Christine Aroney-Sine doesn’t just re-cover the by-now familiar ground of spiritual practices laid out by others, she brings to bear research, commentary, story and practical experience that make her contemporary take on these practices (and the large number of new practices she offers) applicable to a huge range of settings, learning styles and intelligences. A rare strength of what she offers is that it isn’t a soft spirituality but a robust approach that has something in it for men as well as women. Any individual, group or leader will find creative inspiration, and sustenance to flourish in this book.
Mark Pierson, pastor, worship curator, author “The Art of Curating Worship: reshaping the role of worship leader.”
“In a culture that values adult things it will stretch us to explore Jesus’ crucial observation that we can only enter the Kingdom through childlikeness. To explore that strange reality we’ll need some friends on the journey. Christine Sine is such a friend, inviting us into the kind of rich, whole person, communal engagement with God we knew as children. If you join her on this playful, messy, wonder-full adventure, you might never be the same again!”
Mandy Smith, pastor and author of “Making a Mess and Meeting God” and “The Vulnerable Pastor”
Jesus talks about childlike trust in God. The Apostle Paul writes about compassion and thankfulness. These themes play a big role in Christine Sine’s new book. Using stories from the Bible, creative exercises, reflection questions, and her own beautiful poems, Sine addresses the question of how we can bring joy to God and how we can live out the Christian faith as a journey of discovery. The topics of her book – awe, play, curiosity, creativity, imagination, adventure, and wonder – bring balm to the soul in this age of fear and polarization. She guides us on pathways to experience God’s generous gifts and to grow in contentment and peace in Christ.
Lynne M. Baab, PhD, author of Sabbath Keeping and Nurturing Hope: Christian Pastoral Care in the Twenty-first Century
Spiritual practice is designed to awaken us to God’s presence, but it need not be boring. Sine has produced a brave work here, inviting spiritual seekers to become like children—playful, curious, and trusting. With Sine’s guidance and support you will discover the God who delights in you and unlock a wellspring of joy.
Phileena Heuertz, Founding Partner Gravity, a Center for Contemplative Activism. Author of Pilgrimage of a Soul: Contemplative Spirituality for the Active Life and Mindful Silence: The Heart of Christian Contemplation
Refreshing and helpful, The Gift of Wonder, soothed my oft weary spirit. In our polarized, driven, and consumer-obsessed culture, this book is an invitation into God’s creative freedom. Sine not only encourages us to wonder again like a little child, she also gives practical ways to experience God’s delight. From the childlike characteristic of playfulness to trust, Sine leads us into a rare and grace-filled space of choosing joy.
Dr. MaryKate Morse, author and Professor of Leadership & Spiritual Formation Portland Seminary
“Friends, Christine Sine’s The Gift of Wonder is a book of wisdom and delight!
It is truly an extraordinary, life-changing book because it is a book overflowing with Life!
Repeatedly while reading I found myself grinning and laughing from sheer joy.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, “Only one response can maintain us: gratefulness for witnessing the wonder…”
Gratefulness in the form of paying attention, adoring the work of God in the world, and reveling in the mystery of our own life and our lives woven together pervades Christine’s The Gift of Wonder.
From philosophical and theological reflection to practical application, Christine shares how to see anew through appreciating God’s goodness infused all about us. She gives full permission to play – to delight in the Lord’s delight of each of us!
Read this and then live it; it’s that good.”
Clint Baldwin, CEO Word Made Flesh
Christine Aroney-Sine opens up wonder for us, firstly in the title itself, by returning us to wonder as it is, a gift. She invites us to child-like questioning, creative activations, and provocative inspiration in such a way that we come away, changed.
Life with its constant busy pace can lose some of the flavour of wonder and we need this challenge to return, to explore, to discover.
Christine uses her own life stories, together with the woven stories of others and applications that are easy and practical, to flesh out each aspect of wonder. Her crafted prayers are spring boards into contemplation, and you cannot come away without a sense of transforming spiritual renewal.
Whether done together with a group, your family, or alone, this book will call forth wonder inside of you, in a playful adventurous way.
Jenneth Graser, Author of Catching the Light
Dr Christine Aroney-Sine originally brought, to my attention, the verses from Isaiah that became the foundation for Mercy Ships following the 2,000 year old model of Jesus. She put in countless hours of selfless labor, updating our first hospital for surgery. She also led the team that recruited Dr Gary Parker for a short term Medical outreach that became a lifelong calling as a surgeon for the poor. I am sure that The Gift of Wonder will also guide others towards the word of God and draw them closer to God’s calling for them.
Don Stephens – President Mercy Ships.
Christine Sine’s wonderful new offering, ‘The Gift of Wonder’ is a very special read. Uplifting and informative, inspiring and encouraging, this book has you engrossed from the start, and hungry for more. In it we discover a God who delights in us, who finds joy in our joy, and is always beckoning us back to a child-like faith, and revealing to us the keys to the kingdom.
As well as reminding us of the God who is the source of our joy, and who finds delight in us, Christine give us a wealth of creative and imaginative ideas and tools for living out our new insights, to help turn our days into records of praise, and gratitude. Christine also reminds us of the places and relationships in which we find God, and how through compassion and hospitality we might image the God we discover in contemplation, and in community.
This wonderful treasure trove can be enjoyed individually, as well as in a group and can be returned to again and again, as each time we draw a myriad of insights and benefits from its wealth of wisdom.
Ana Lisa de Jong, Living Tree Poetry. Author of ‘The Poetry for the Soul’ Series,
and new releases ‘Heart Psalms’ and ‘Thrice Blessed’
“The Gift of Wonder is a joyful and profoundly serious invitation to get dirty and play with the Creator. This book makes me want to get outside, take out some art supplies, become curious, and experience divine delight! If you are craving a fresh approach to connecting with God, this book will ignite your imagination and inspire you to explore new life giving practices.”
The poet Mary Oliver famously gave these instructions for life: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” The Gift of Wonder is a guidebook for the attentive and astonished life. Take its message to heart and your eyes will be opened, like Elisha’s servant, to see the horses on the hills. You will be more alive to God’s abundant love, joy, provision, and even playfulness. Christine Aroney-Sine has been an inspiration and mentor for me on my own journey toward a more embodied, holistic, and creative life of faith; she is also a tremendous writer. The words that kept ringing in my ears as I read this book: “The Gift of Wonder is a wonderful gift.”
Once, after baptizing some young children, I invited them to splash in the baptismal font and even splash the congregation a bit too. I could see a lot of uptight “adults” all around. While I prayed that wonderful prayer after baptism, which ends, “Sustain them O Lord in your Holy Spirit, Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, (as I said these words I pointed to the children splashing in the water) AND THEJOY AND WONDER IN ALL YOUR WORKS. AMEN.” In The Gift of Wonder, Christine Aroney-Sine is pointing to those splashing in the water, inviting us to do more of the same, in order to be more of what God intends for us to be”.

Answers to this and everything you've ever wanted to know about the Jersey Barrier.
Driving didn't always used to be as easy as it has become these days, but given that American roads have been privy to the car for over a century, we've had more than a few years to refine the art. At first, it was just clunky precursors to the Model T rolling around at crawl speeds. It wasn't until 1901 that the first laws were enacted to cap vehicle speed, starting with Connecticut. That law limited cars to 12 mph in the city and 15 mph on the country road, but things have changed and average travel speeds have risen…by quite a bit.
It was around the post-war era that mega freeways and powerful muscle cars came into the picture, and the gruesome results of high-impact collisions with oncoming traffic forced road engineers to think of a way around the problem.
Donut media has taken some time to tell us the story of the Jersey barrier, that upward-sloped concrete embankment that prevents cars from going into the oncoming lane and causing pandemonium after losing control. And though it might seem counterintuitive to slope it upwards, causing the wreckage to come crashing down, it has the effect of better dissipating the crash energy so it's not all directed at bending the frame of the vehicle. So take some time to give thanks to the engineers who made these little concrete lifesavers, as well as those who had to pass in order to make it happen. Such is the way of progress.

Hair extensions are something most women try at least once in their lives. They offer additional length and thickness to the hair and if the extensions are real, they’re able to be coloured and manipulated in the hair. If you’re a hairdresser, this is a service you likely perform on a daily basis. To get the job done effectively and efficiently, you’ll require the help of hair extension accessories.
With the right accessories, you’ll be able to do everything from applying the extensions to helping the client select the right products. Some of the tools include detangling brushes all the way to colour swatches. Furthermore, detangling brushes are great for helping make the hair knot-free and blend seamlessly with the client’s real hair.
Some of the most popular accessories are ones that are critical to doing a good job. If you don’t have clip-in extensions, you will need tape or beads to get the extensions in the hair.

Vitamin B12: List of Foods with the Highest Vitamin B12 Content
All About Vitamin B12
The human body is exposed to many external factors throughout its life. Some microbes that remain in the body as a result of infectious diseases, especially the harmful toxic substances taken from the inhaled air, drinking water, edible food, and the soil in contact with, also harm the body. Human; It removes some of these harmful toxicants by natural methods such as urine, sweating, bile formation, respiration and defecation. What about the rest?
At this point, the process of cleansing itself from the poison that the body contains is called detoxification. If there is a vitamin B12 deficiency, then an important link of detoxification is weakened. So the system does not work correctly. The health of your DNA, the realization of certain reactions in your body, and the maintenance of nerve cells and red blood cells without any problems are also possible with the normal value of B12.
What Is B12 Included? List of Foods with the Highest Vitamin B12 Content
Unfortunately, vitamin B12, like some other vitamins, is among the vitamins that are not produced by the body. Therefore, B12 supplementation is a mandatory requirement. This supplement can be taken as a medicine in the form of B12 tablets, B12 injections, or it can be obtained from food. Unless there is an advanced B12 deficiency, drug supplementation is not recommended, and many doctors first try to solve this problem naturally, that is, with food.
It is also recommended to pay attention to some issues in the consumption of foods with plenty of vitamin B12. Studies have shown that vitamin C taken in the form of supplements inactivates vitamin B12 taken through food, while potassium and folic acid supplements also mask B12 deficiency. For this reason, experts say that before taking B12 supplements, it is necessary to go through a doctor’s control.
- Seafood: The main point of the foods containing vitamin B12 is animal foods. One of them is seafood. The food containing the most vitamin B12 is fish eggs. When you consume 50 grams of fish eggs, you will get 5 times the vitamin B12 you need daily. If you choose a 15-gram octopus, you will meet all your daily vitamin B12 needs. When you consume 100 grams of mackerel, salmon, tuna, sardines, mussels and oysters, you will get more than your daily vitamin B12 need.
- Meat Products: Meat is also a very rich food in terms of vitamin B12. Liver (lamb, beef, veal, duck, turkey and goose) is one of the meat products containing the most vitamin B12. Ground beef and beef are also very beneficial in terms of B12 supplementation, while 100 grams of lamb offers you more than half of the daily required vitamin B12 rate.
- Dairy Products: One of the foods that are very beneficial in terms of vitamin B12 is dairy products. Dairy products also contain B12, although they do not provide as much B12 supplementation as seafood and meat. Some cheese varieties are rich in B12 as well as calcium and protein. 100 grams of feta cheese meets one-third of the daily vitamin B12 need, and one egg white meets one-sixth.
How to Fix B12 Deficiency?
B12 deficiency is easily eliminated with nutritional supplements as we have mentioned above. However, in order to eliminate B12 deficiency with only food, the B12 ratio in the body must be deficient to a small extent. To determine this, you need to have a B12 test in consultation with your doctor. How to eliminate B12 deficiency is revealed by detecting the findings that cause this deficiency. In other words, finding the cause of the problem gives the signal how to eliminate that problem.
There are many causes of B12 deficiency. The first of these is nutrition. Vitamin B12 deficiency is commonly used, especially in people who consume very little animal food or live on a vegetarian diet. B12 supplementation is recommended to eliminate this problem. Because, unfortunately, vitamin B12 is not found in vegetable-type foods. B12 deficiency is common in people who have undergone operations such as stomach reduction or gastric banding. This is because the stomach cannot make B12 absorption healthy. At this point, B12 supplements are taken again.
This problem is also experienced by people who are exposed to certain diseases. The body processes the food taken with certain methods and a certain system. When this process does not work properly, B12 deficiency occurs. We can cite Crohn’s and celiac diseases as an example. These diseases cause problems in the processing of nutrients by the body. At this point, B12 deficiency cannot be eliminated with food. For this reason, vitamin supplements or B12 injection treatment can be applied.
Other causes of low B12 can be listed as follows: Being 50 years old and over, regularly consuming alcohol, having problems in stomach acid production, having surgery based on weight loss, and using diabetes medication. Elimination of B12 deficiency is related to the level of all these possible problems in the person.
What Diseases Cause B12 Deficiency?
Symptoms such as weight loss, loss of appetite, constipation, fatigue, and frequent tingling in the hands and feet are considered to be indicators of B12 deficiency. In severe cases of B12 deficiency, permanent nervous system damage and chronic diseases are known to occur.
Deterioration in mental functions, anemia, auditory nerve inflammation, decreased reflexes and pain sensation, as well as jaundice, many mental disorders and easy catching diseases occur as a result of B12 deficiency.
How Much Should B12 Be?
The B12 test measures the amount of vitamin B12 in the bloodstream. B12 test results should be reviewed by a doctor. The fact that many experts have defended different values about the normal measure of the B12 value, on the other hand, causes confusion.
prof. Dr. Osman Müftüoğlu, in one of his two different columns on the subject, argues that the B12 value should be between at least 750 – 1000, while in the other he states that this value can be considered normal between 500 – 700.
prof. Dr. Canan Karatay states that B12 should be 1000 pg/ml and adds that if the value is below 800, there is a B12 deficiency. However, the normal value of B12 also varies according to age. Because the vitamin B12 value that an adult and a baby need daily is not the same. 0 – 6 months: 0.4 mcg (mcg: one thousandth of a milligram) 4 – 8 years old: 1.2 mcg, 14 – 18 years old: 2.4 mcg, adults over 19 years old: 2.4 mcg, and 2.6 mcg B12 during pregnancy value is considered.
Vitamin B12 Benefits, What Does It Do?
B12 benefits are numerous. These benefits can be listed as follows:
- Vitamin B12 plays an important role in preventing cell aging, repairing nerve cells and reducing fat by converting carbohydrates into energy.
- Vitamin B12 protects the body against cardiovascular diseases. It greatly reduces the risk of stroke and high blood pressure by protecting the vein.
- Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the regeneration of the skin and the production of new cells. Again, B12 is essential for healthy nails, skin and hair.
- Another important issue among the B12 benefits is weight control. It increases the body’s energy, thus preventing the appearance of problems such as fatigue and weakness.
- It regulates sugar metabolism and prevents forgetfulness.
- It protects against liver, lung, breast, prostate and colon cancers.
- It plays an important role in the formation of DNA and RNA in the body.
- It regulates nerve transmission in the brain and increases the production of acetylcholine. This prevents Alzheimer’s formation.
Vitamin B12 Drug Names
Some of the drug names used in the treatment of B12 and supplements for the elimination of vitamin deficiency are as follows:
- VI-Mineral Chewable Tablet
- NEROX B12 Film Tablet
- MULTI-B Effervescent Tablet
- BITAVIN B12 Film Tablet
- BEVITAB B12 Film Tablet
- BENEXOL B12 Film Tablet
- BENEDAY Enteric Coated Tablet
- Apikobal Compression
Do not use the relevant drugs without consulting your doctor.

Drake is continuing to make Billboard history.
On Monday (March 15), the Toronto native became the first artist to debut tracks at No. 1, 2 and 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after dropping his Scary Hours 2 EP. The three singles — “What’s Next,” “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring Rick Ross — were released on March 5.
The Views emcee joins Ariana Grande and The Beatles as the only artists to have three songs rank in the top three at the same time, according to Billboard. The three tracks have extended his record to 45 top 10s.
“What’s Next” garnered 49.1 million U.S. streams, “Wants and Needs” earned 41.5 million plays and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” collected 32.1 million streams.
With “What’s Next” coming in at the top spot, Drake now has eight Hot 100 No. 1s under his belt. “What’s My Name,” “Work,” “One Dance,” “God’s Plan,” “Nice For What,” “In My Feelings” and “Toosie Slide” are Drake’s other top songs.
Last week, REVOLT reported that Scary Hours 2 was on track to sell over 1 million units. The EP was released to hold fans over as they wait for Certified Lover Boy to drop. Drizzy’s highly anticipated sixth album was originally supposed to be released in January, but he pushed it back due to his leg injury.
“I was planning to release my album this month, but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” the Scorpion rapper previously wrote on his Instagram Story. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021.”
DJ Akademiks claims the project will now be released in April. “Drake told me that it’s gonna be dropping before April,” he said. “So, he’s not waiting until summer to drop his shit… April or before.”

Finance: Borrowing powers are part of the general budget until the formation of the new government
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
The ministry indicated, in a press statement, to what was circulated on social media about the authorization of borrowing granted to the Minister of Finance in accordance with the recent decisions of the Council of Ministers, usually that the motive behind these false news is electoral propaganda only.
The ministry explained, "All the loans referred to in that decision were negotiated and approved months or even two years ago and are part of the budget approved by the House of Representatives, and the Minister of Finance has been authorized to make it valid during the transitional period between the elections and the new government only."
And she added, "The public has the right to know why the ministry was forced to borrow despite the recent rise in oil prices. This is due to the fact that the government's current expenditures from salaries, retirement and social transfers amount to approximately 6 trillion Iraqi dinars per month, before other current expenditures and investment expenditures are added. and debt service at the local and international levels, and the fulfillment of arrears from previous obligations to the electricity and other sectors.
The Ministry of Finance confirmed that "Iraq must abide by the decisions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that obligate it to reduce its production of oil, and the dues of licensing contracts and compensation for the Kuwait war, which are deducted from export revenues, must be paid."
She explained, "The revenues that we get from oil exports per month amount to about 6.5 trillion Iraqi dinars at current prices, and it is completely wrong to claim that the ministry is borrowing without reason, because the government is obligated to borrow to meet budget goals and maintain credit rating stability in local and international markets."
The Ministry of Finance also indicated that it issues negotiable bonds to improve the work of the money market and provide safe and rewarding securities to investors and private institutions, stressing its commitment to diversifying sources of funding and working insistently on reforming the tax and customs system after years of neglect./ End 5[/rtl]

Flower Essences and Essential Oils For Healing Human Trafficking Trauma
The darkest of the dark on this planet is the issue of human trafficking and all of the horrors that come along with it.
Human trafficking is a global epidemic and is estimated to be an industry dealing in the hundreds of billions of dollars per year, where millions of people (mostly women and children) are stolen and trafficked and end up being used as sex slaves.
It is also estimated that nearly 99% of these fellow human beings never get out of their captivity.
Good news has started to come out recently though, with U.S. Marshals announcing the recovery of 39 missing children in Georgia in late August 2020, 25 children in Ohio in early September 2020 and another 8 children in Indiana also in September 2020.
Additionally, on September 21st, 2020, Tim Tebow and his wife Demi-Leigh of the Tim Tebow Foundation were present with U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and Ivanka Trump in the announcement of $101 million being awarded from the federal government to support anti-human trafficking efforts.
While it remains to be seen what comes of this latest development, there are things that can be done right now to help those who have been subject to the trafficking horrors.
Certainly, the forms of conventional therapy should be used to help these people, but there also exists other forms of therapy that offer deeper levels of healing.
As Tim said regarding healing in his short speech in the photo above, “…it does take holistic healing. It does take holistic love...”
Two forms of therapy that reach these deep, holistic levels of emotional, spiritual and even soul-level healing are that of flower essences and essential oils.
Flower Essences and Essential Oils
Though flower essences and essential oils are sometimes mistaken for the same thing, they are actually quite different and work in different ways.
Starting with essential oils, we know that they are oil compounds that are extracted from various plants, roots, barks, trees, resins or leaves.
According to The University of Minnesota, smelling essential oils’ molecules affect the olfactory organs, the lungs (and thus the respiratory system) as well as the brain.
These aromatic molecules travel through the nose and positively affect the limbic system of the brain, which is sometimes called the “emotional part of the brain.”
The limbic system controls heart rate, mood, blood pressure, memory, breathing, stress hormone response and overall stress levels.
Because these compounds affect the emotional parts of the brain, they can be used safely and therapeutically in conjunction with other forms of therapy.
For instance, Traci Stein, PhD, MPH is a licensed clinical psychologist and has used essential oils (aromatherapy) in conjunction with traditional psychotherapy.
Specifically, she has used aromatherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and has seen good results.
Additionally, studies on PubMed.gov show how aromatherapy can be effective for treating depression, which is something that people often battle after being trafficked.
These are just a few examples of the many reports out there of essential oils being able to help people heal on deep emotional and spiritual levels.
Combining them with flower essences can also be a powerful therapeutic aid.
Flower essences are different than essential oils in that they impact the body in more of an electrical way, rather than a biochemical way.
To briefly explain how these work, we need to remember that the most fundamental communication system our body has is that of electricity.
All functions and metabolic processes, when reduced to their most basic and fundamental levels, operate electrically.
Flower essences impact this electrical communication system in profound ways and are used specifically for helping heal and process trauma, difficult emotions or challenging states of mind.
Quite literally, they are nutrients for the soul in the most quintessential form.
The first medical doctor who brought these essences out into the world of medicine was Dr. Edward Bach, who revered them and used them in his practice. He lauded their ability to help heal on deep levels by famously stating:
“The action of the flower essences raises the vibration of the being…they cure by flooding the body with the beautiful vibrations of the highest nature- in whose presence there is the opportunity for disease to melt away like snow in sunshine.”
More medical doctors and psychologists today are also using flower essences in their practices to facilitate deeper healing.
Pam Pappas, MD uses flower essences “in a consistent, purposeful way to enhance emotional harmony and spiritual well-being.”
Dr. Mark Masi, a licensed, clinical psychologist, began using flower essences in his practice when he noticed benefits in his personal life from using the essences.
He notes that the essences are helpful for his clients “especially in those situations in which patients were blocked in working through intensely painful emotions, memories, or conflicts with psychotherapy alone. I also realized psychotropic meds were not the answer to resolving deeper issues.”
“Through integrating the essences in my work I proved to myself that the healing happens much better. What I love about them is they bring issues to the surface in a manner that patients can tolerate. It goes so well with the type of therapy I practice. Flower essences and psychoanalytic therapy are so similar in the layer work. What we’re trying to do is foster the emergence of the real self which can experience pleasure and joy, and handle the challenges that life brings.”
Though flower essence therapy and essential oil therapy are being used by medical doctors, psychologists and other qualified practitioners, these safe and effective substances are easily accessible administrable by the general public.
These plant medicines are also effective for people who have undergone any sort of trauma and are useful for a myriad of different challenges that we face in life.
This means that these therapies can be used widely by the general population for deeper emotional, spiritual and soul-level healing.
The purpose of this article has been to bring more awareness of these therapies for populations that desperately need deep-level healing (like those who have suffered the horrors of human trafficking), but this article is also for humanity in general, as we all have faced or are facing challenges that are unique to us individually.
It is my strong intention that this article and the information in it helps many, many people create deep and lasting healing.

Ever since I had my Heart attack some 7 1/2 years ago –
I get chilled very easy – even before I did not like the snow – ice and cold!
But – the families seem to like it – skiing – snowboarding and playing in the snow!
Where we had wine – snacks and a fire in a fire pit.
The pit was free and offered by the winery!
I bundled up and made it through -but by the end I was cold!
I have to admit – it was unique – but I very seldom drink wine –
I just can not get into the dry wines!
Now – a sweeter wine I can sip on!
What a difference 3 weeks make!
From snow and cold to sand and somewhat warm!
I am not shoveling snow – I can layer up and walk the beach!
School break – and a quick trip down – Marcus could not get away.
The first thing they wanted to see – THE BEACH!
The little ones love the beach – sand and water.
And then we took them for a walk along the ICW at Barefoot Landing!
Watching the boats traveling up and down –
and seeing the boats in the marina – where a lot of people are living on the boats there!
WHERE WE ARE UNTIL END OF JUNE!
Thank you for reading Papa’s World

Just over one million Americans filed for unemployment for the first time last week.
It's a slight drop from two weeks ago. One analyst told the Wall Street Journal: “We’re seeing gradual improvement, but we really need to underscore the word ‘gradual’ here."
Economists warn that more layoffs brings the risk of permanent economic damage to the labor market.
Data shows 27 million Americans are collecting some form of unemployment benefits. But that may be inflated by double counting states.

The Macau authorities issued – during the period from May 9, 2016, to April 16 this year – a total of 71 verbal cautions to casino patrons for their alleged violation of an instruction banning use of telephones while at any of the city’s gaming tables, the city’s gaming regulator told GGRAsia in a written reply. A majority of the warnings – 49 in total – were issued between January 1 and April 9 this year, added the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau in its email.
The tableside telephone ban had come into effect on May 9, 2016. Steve Wynn, chairman of Macau casino operator Wynn Macau Ltd, said shortly after the government’s announcement – made several days before the ban was imposed – that it meant an end in the Macau market to betting via telephone. Such activity is also known in the industry as ‘proxy’ betting because of the use of a person or ‘proxy’, physically present at the gaming table but making a bet as per telephoned instructions, on behalf of someone outside the casino.
Prior to May 2016, Macau VIP clients could use their phones at the casino table while gambling, provided that they had registered for that purpose.
The gaming bureau – also known by its Portuguese acronym DICJ – said, in its reply to our enquiry on the number of people warned on tableside phone use since its May 2016 instruction: “Since those patrons that received verbal cautions usually stop using the phone once being reminded, no irregularities were detected in their play afterwards.”
The bureau added: “Since the banning of phone usage at gaming tables on May 9 last year until now, among the alleged violations detected by DICJ, none of them have irregularities that we have to further pass to the Judiciary Police for follow-up action.”
Earlier voluntary ban
In October 2014, long before the bureau instruction, GGRAsia had learned that at least one Macau operator – Sands China Ltd – had told its Macau junket partners that proxy betting would no longer be tolerated.
An industry source with knowledge of the matter told us at the time the move was connected to the firm’s “leadership role on compliance-related matters in general”.
One problem with telephone betting, say several gaming lawyers spoken to by GGRAsia, is that the practice risks creating a loophole regarding the “know your customer” protocol. Such a protocol is encouraged under best international practices on tackling the threat of money laundering.
Shortly after Sands China’s reported moratorium on telephone betting, it was rumoured that another Macau casino operator – concerned about regulatory risk associated with anti-money laundering rules – had also imposed a voluntary ban.
In a May 2016 note, Daiwa had estimated – based it said on conversations with junkets and other industry participants – that Macau market telephone betting grew about 15 percent year-on-year in 2015, to account for approximately 20 percent of junket gaming volume in Macau that year, compared to 8 percent to 10 percent in 2014.
Even after Macau’s official ban on use of telephones at tableside came into effect in May 2016, there were rumours of telephone use at gaming tables.
In April this year, Macau’s Judiciary Police arrested seven mainland Chinese men over their alleged involvement in what the police termed illegal betting worth US$1.3 million, by gamblers from China making use of the social messaging service WeChat. It is thought the suspects arranged for gamblers to place their bets on the results of some actual VIP baccarat games in the city’s casinos.
But Tam Weng Keong, a Judiciary Police spokesman, told GGRAsia at the time: “So far, we haven’t found any signs of a collaboration between these suspects and the local junkets.”
At the time of the May 2016 instruction on use of telephones at tableside, the gaming bureau didn’t clarify what sanction might be imposed, and on whom, were the instruction not heeded.
Under Macau Law No. 16/2001 there is a prohibition on “interactive gaming,” which is defined as entering in and participating in a game using a telecommunications device. But legal opinion has been divided on the topic of whether someone outside the casino – albeit giving instructions on the telephone to someone who is at the gaming table – could be said to be “participating” in a game.
Live video streaming of Macau VIP room games for the purposes of allowing people outside to bet on games has always been considered a prohibited activity in the Macau casino market.
Any violation against the gaming bureau’s ban on use of telephones at Macau gaming tables could under certain circumstances lead to the risk of a person or persons being charged with the crime of illegal gambling, said Kwok Chi Chung, president of the Association of Gaming and Entertainment Promoters, when asked by GGRAsia about the gaming bureau’s warnings to some gamblers. Mr Kwok was – from 2003 and until his retirement in August 2010 – the first head of the Judiciary Police force’s gaming-related and economic crimes investigation unit.
Regarding the specific matter of junket room proxy betting, Mr Kwok told us: “From what I heard, the licensed junkets here – especially the big ones – have been compliant with the Macau authorities’ ban [against tableside telephone use],” He added: “For the big junkets in particular, they don’t need to rely on proxy betting for making profits,” he added.

Carney told the Virgin Islands Daily News several prospective buyers have mentioned developing the land as a resort. But she said the folks who have come to actually see it are looking at possible residential use. "It’s a no brainer," she told the Daily News. "It’s the safe rate of return."
As projects like Pond Bay have shown, developing a resort can take an awful lot of time and money. Selling building lots is more simple. Read the Daily News story: http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/index.pl/article_home?id=17621493
The photo at left is a sign from the Trust for Public Land, one of several on island; this one at Little Maho. The Trust previously purchased land around Maho, and has been interested in this last piece, but needs to do fund raising to make it happen.

In the 1940s and ’50s, Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado made it his mission to document his world – San Francisco’s Filipino-American community – by photographing his family and friends at their homes, at their jobs, and places where they played.
Selecting from some 3,000 black-and-white images he left when he died in 1976, his daughter, Janet M. Alvarado, has curated an enaging show of several dozen of the pictures, “Compositions: A Filipino American Experience,” on view at the San Francisco Public Library through Dec. 7.
The exhibition “captures and reveals the lives, cultures, hardships and joys of a generation that needs remembering,” Alvarado writes in notes accompanying the display. Grouped by theme and location, the historical photos show life in South Park, South of Market, the Presidio, the Fillmore, Western Addition and Bayview-Hunters Point – areas where Filiipino Americans worked as cooks, dishwashers, barbers and houseboys in the post-World War II era. Alvarado, who came to California in 1928 at 14, served in the U.S. Army during the war, and held jobs including janitor, houseboy and cook.
The collection reveals that Alvarado was insightful and successful, as his daughter notes, in obeserving, “with his camera’s eye, ordinary people in everyday situations.”
The most fun photos showcase folks in extracurricular activities, such as the prim and proper young women in gowns at a box social in the 1950s or at more leisurely sock hop.
Music also played a big role in the Filipino community, whose members bonded with African Americans. A series of photos taken in the Fillmore showcases sleekly attired blacks and Filipinos performing, and enjoying, music.
Seemingly a stranger to noone, Alvarado tooks picture of weddings, funerals, parties and family gatherings. He shot street scenes, beauty pageants, and food and agricultural workers.
One of his most charming images is a 1950s-era portrait of his wife, Norberta, pictured with a car in 2900 block of Pine Street, near their first residence in The City. Not long after, Alvarado stopped taking photos, and returned with his wife to the Philippines.
The exhibition also has eye-catching antiques, such as vintage film, darkroom supplies purchased at Fillmore Camera, as well as the photographer’s camera bag.

Take control of your wellness to enjoy better health – this is something that we sometimes forget. As life is so busy, many people have a tendency to keep going even when they don’t feel their best. Struggling on regardless of how you feel can leave you feeling permanently run down and exhausted which can lead to more serious problems.
It can be difficult to break this vicious cycle when you live this way and constantly pushing yourself to your limits is not a good nor safe thing to do. But, if you carry on following the same pattern, you will never feel your best placing yourself in jeopardy. What you need to know is that always feeling tired and drained is not a healthy way to live, making it impossible to get the most from your life. So, to ensure you always feel great and full of vitality, it is essential to take control of your wellness. If you want to enjoy better health and take control of your wellbeing, these ideas should provide you with some helpful inspiration:
Manage Your Stress Levels
Many people live in a permanent state of stress, constantly feeling like they have too much to do and too many things going on. There are many factors that can cause stress in your life, but regardless of why you feel stressed, it is a wise idea to find ways to manage it before it impacts your health. Being stressed much of the time can lead to you experiencing chronic stress. Chronic stress can affect every area of your health, both physically and mentally. When you suffer from chronic stress, you may feel like you are permanently tired, you may experience stomach upsets, and you may feel easily irritated. The impact of chronic stress is not pleasant for the person experiencing it or those around them. Eventually, chronic stress can increase the risk of a person developing health conditions.
Finding ways to manage your stress levels effectively can have a significant positive effect on your life, and you should find that you start to feel a lot better. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to managing their stress levels. For some, being physically active helps relieve their stress, but for others, quiet meditation or talking through their problems is the best solution.
Don’t Ignore Illnesses
If you notice signs that you may be unwell, do you choose to ignore them and hope they go away by themselves? It is never wise to ignore your symptoms, as most illnesses respond better to treatment when they are detected early. So, if you suspect that there could be something wrong, it is always best to schedule a consultation with your doctor to get your symptoms checked.
If you do have a medical condition, it can be challenging to manage it effectively, especially at times when your life is busy. Remembering to order medication in advance, so you have it and then finding the time to go to collect it when you need it can become an issue. To make life easier for yourself, you may want to use an online chemist, as this offers a more convenient option and takes the hassle out of collecting your medicines.
Remember The Basics
When you actively start looking for ways to improve your health and enjoy a feeling of wellbeing, you can be faced with a whole host of complicated advice. Exotic remedies, superfoods, and extreme fitness activities maybe some of the suggestions you stumble across on your journey to improved wellness. But, feeling better and taking control of your health does not need to be complicated.
For some people, trying to follow complex diet plans and demanding fitness routines can actually sabotage their attempts to make their health a priority and leave them feeling like they have failed. This is because the more complicated your wellness regime becomes, the harder it is to stick to and the more of your time and effort you need to commit to making it work.
Trying to keep up-to-date with the latest health fads can be bad for your bank balance too, which can make it tough to stick with in the long term. Instead, it is helpful to get back to basics and take care of your health without making it overly hard for yourself.
Simply eating nutritious foods and a balanced diet while increasing your activity levels is an excellent starting point when trying to take control of your health and wellness. Making sure that you are drinking enough water and getting the recommended amount of sleep will also ensure that you feel your best and is something that you can commit to when improving your long-term health.

So sorry to see the news tonight of the death of Clark Gillies at the age of 67. Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in 1954, Gillies played a dozen unrelenting years on the left wing for the New York Islanders in the 1970s and early ’80s, captaining the team for three seasons and winning four Stanley Cup championships. He played his final season-and-a-half in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres before his retirement in 1988. The Islanders retired his number, 9, in 1996, and in 2002 he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Islanders paid their respects tonight: they’re here.
Sorry to say that Curt Ridley has died at the age of 70. Born in Winnipeg in September of 1951, he got his NHL start at the age of 23 with the New York Rangers in 1974 when Ed Giacomin was sidelined, nursing a wonky knee. Ridley was tending goals for the AHL Providence Reds that year when his coach, John Muckler, told him he’d be starting for the Rangers against the Boston Bruins. “Was he surprised?” Muckler was asked. “I dunno,” Muckler said. “He had his mask on.” The Bruins rang up six goals on Ridley before Giacomin limped in to relieve him. With Phil Esposito notching three goals and four assists, the Bruins won 11-3. Ridley found some redemption (and his first NHL win) ten days later when he was back in net for New York’s 2-1 triumph over the Kansas City Scouts. Ridley’s did his steadiest NHL work for the Vancouver Canucks, with whom he played parts of four seasons. He took several turns, too, in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs before his NHL career came to its end in 1981. In 2015, Curt Ridley was inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.
Sorry to hear of the death, late last week, of Charlie Burns at the age of 85. Born in Detroit in 1936, he grew up in Toronto and went on to join the OHA Junior A Marlboros in the early 1950s. He was 19 in 1954, starting his third year with the Marlboros, when he suffered a double skull fracture falling into the boards in an accident at practice. He underwent brain surgery, during which a silver plate was installed to stabilize his skill; he wasn’t expected to play hockey ever again. He recovered and did indeed return to the ice — wearing a helmet.
It was in 1958, with the Allan-Cup-champion Whitby Dunlops of the EOHL that Burns starred at centre at the World Championships in Oslo, Norway, when Canada won gold. His teammates included Harry Sinden and tournament-leading-scorer Connie Broden; a 21-year-old Burns distinguished himself an ace penalty-killer, and was named the tournament’s outstanding forward.
Burns launched into his NHL career that same year, with the Detroit Red Wings, and he went on to play 11 seasons, taking turns over time with the Boston Bruins, Oakland Seals, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Minnesota North Stars. Numberswise, his best year was 1968-69, when he notched 13 goals and 51 points for the Penguins.
Midway through the following year, 1969-70, Burns was named playing-coach of the North Stars, succeeding Wren Blair, the man who’d coached him with Whitby a decade earlier. After going 10-22-12 in the regular season, Burns saw his regime come to an end after the North Stars were eliminated in six games in the Stanley Cup quarter-finals by the St. Louis Blues. He does maintain the distinction of being the last playing-coach in NHL history.
After hanging up his skates in 1974, Burns served as assistant GM in Minnesota, making a return to the bench that year when he replaced Jack Gordon. His record that time around was 12-28-2 and in the summer of ’75, Burns gave way to a new coach, Ted Harris, returning to his GM duties.
Saddened to hear the news that former Boston Bruins centreman Fred Stanfield has died at the age of 77. Born in Toronto in 1944, he broke into the NHL with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1964 before he was traded (along with Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge) to the Bruins in 1967 in exchange for Pit Martin, Gilles Marotte, and Jack Norris. In Boston, he often lined up with Johnnys Mackenzie and Bucyk, and in so doing, piled up six successive 20-goal seasons, aiding in a pair of Bruin Stanley Cup championships, in 1970 and ’72. He played two seasons with the Minnesota North Stars and parts of four others with the Sabres in Buffalo before he stowed his skates in 1978.
So sorry to hear the news this evening of the death of Rod Gilbert at the age of 80. Born in Montreal in 1941, he only ever skated in the NHL as a New York Ranger. He was a speedy right winger who scored profusely for the Blueshirts: the 406 regular-season goals and 1,021 points he collected in his 18 seasons with New York are still tops among Rangers. In 1979, a year after his retirement, the seven Gilbert wore on his sweater became the first number to be retired by the Rangers. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982.
Sorry be hearing the news tonight that René Robert has died at the age of 72. Born in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, in 1948, he made his name in the 1970s as the right winger on the Buffalo Sabres’ famous French Connection line. Robert had suffered a heart attack in Florida a week ago. The Buffalo News has an obituary here.
Saddened to have learned it, sorry to report it: former lofty defenceman Gilles Lupien died of cancer on Tuesday at the age of 67. Born in Lachute in 1954, he was drafted by Montreal in 1974 and joined the AHL’s Nova Scotia Voyageurs. At 6’6” and 210 pounds, he got into policing, and led the league in penalty minutes for two of the three full-time seasons he spent in the A. “I guess you can say they wanted me to be an enforcer,” Lupien said in 2010. “I think I did a good job.” He played three seasons with the Canadiens, collecting a single regular-season goal and 100+ penalty minutes in each one. His colleagues on defence included Serge Savard, Larry Robinson, and Guy Lapointe, which goes a long way to exaplaining why, at the end of both of the first two seasons in Montreal, in 1978 and again in ’79, Lupien hoisted the Stanley Cup with his teammates. He went on to play parts of two more NHL seasons, lining up with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Hartford Whalers before ending his on-ice career with a combative season with the AHL Binghampton Whalers in 1981-82. Gilles Lupien was, in recent years, a popular player agent.
He described himself as an “above-average not-great player,” but maybe flag that for excess of modesty, because Johnny Peirson was a very proficient goalscorer in the 11 seasons he played the right wing for the Boston Bruins between 1946 and 1958, scoring 20 goals in four of those campaigns, and finishing among the NHL’s top ten scorers three times.
Peirson, who was born in Winnipeg in 1925, died on April 16 at the age of 95. The Bruins’ alumni site has an obituary, here. After 98-year-old former Detroit Red Wing Steve Wochy, Peirson was the second-oldest NHLer.
Peirson got much of his hockey upbringing in Montreal, where he chased high-school pucks for Westmount Academy before joining the Montreal Junior Canadiens. After a stint in the Canadian Army, he studied and skated at McGill. In 1946, he signed for Boston’s AHL farm team, the Hershey Bears, for a princely $4,500.
As a rookie with the Bruins, Peirson found a berth on what teammate Woody Dumart dubbed the “Muscles Line,” for the irony: at 5’11” and 170 pounds, 22-year-old Peirson was the bulk of a unit that also counted centre Paul Ronty (6’, 150) and left winger Kenny Smith (5’7”, 155).
“I would say I was above average because I was a better balanced player,” he told writer Frank Pagnucco, “a forward that knew how to backcheck. I had some defensive skills as well as being able to find the net sometimes.”
The first time he retired was in 1954, when he was 28. He stashed his skates to go into the furniture business with his father-in-law, across the river from Boston in Cambridge. He unretired after a year, rejoining the Bruins in 1955. His first game back, he played on a line with Cal Gardner and Vic Stasiuk, scoring a goal and setting up another to spark the Bruins to a 4-1 home win over the Chicago Black Hawks.
He played three seasons, after his comeback, and could have kept it going beyond that, maybe, but decided not to. “You reach a point in your career where you realized you’ve lost half a step,” he said, looking back. “In those days, with six teams, there weren’t a lot of places to go. I had a job offer which I had to weigh against the possibility of making the team again or moving to another team … and with four kids, that didn’t make any sense.”
Regrets? Hockey-wise, he had at least a couple. “I’d have given my eyeteeth to play on a Stanley Cup winner,” he once said. He also wished he’d worked harder on developing his upper-body strength — his, well, muscles. “I would have been a better player. I lost a lot of battles and wasn’t able to do what I would like to have done from the point of view of strength.”
While the Bruins Peirson played for never won a Stanley Cup, he was at close hand when the team started winning championships in the late 1960s, serving as a long-time colour analyst on Bruins’ TV and radio broadcasts alongside Fred Cusick.
So sorry to hear the news that Bob Plager died in a car accident this afternoon in St. Louis. He was 78. Born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, he was an original Blue, joining brothers Barclay and Bill in St. Louis in 1967 after starting his NHL career with the New York Rangers. He played 10 seasons on the St. Louis blueline, and continued with the Blues beyond his retirement as a scout, executive, and (briefly) head coach.
Saddened to hear this morning of Walter Gretzky’s death yesterday at the age of 82. Son Wayne posted a message late last night announcing the news on Twitter. The Toronto Star has an obituary of the world’s most famous hockey dad here, and Kevin McGran weighs in with a fond collection of Wally stories — along with a lovely image of the man himself in what always seemed like his natural habitat, the storied backyard rink back home in Gretzkytown, Brantford, Ontario.
Sorry to see the news today that long-time Toronto Star hockey writer Frank Orr has died. Born in 1936, he grew up on a farm in Hillsburgh, Ontario, northeast of Guelph, to which (as he later said) Foster Hewitt’s voice carried from the gondola at Maple Leaf Gardens in the 1940s. “You grew up with it — it was the Saturday night of your life,” he recalled. “We watched games on radio.”
He was a radio DJ before he started in newspapers, starting with the Cornwall Standard Freeholder and Guelph Daily Mercury before joining the Star’s sports department in 1961. Awarded the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award and elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a member of the media in 1989, he said that witnessing Bobby Orr’s rise was one of the highlights of his career.
“I saw him play his first major junior game at the age of 13 for Oshawa and watching him grow from the little blond-haired kid into one of the greatest players of all time was a thrill.”
He noted, too, his admiration for Montreal defenceman Doug Harvey.
“He wasn’t necessarily the best to have ever played, but he was my personal favourite,” he said. “I was also a big admirer of Red Kelly for the simple reason that he was an all-star defenceman as well as an all-star centre.”
As well as treading the Leafs beat, Orr wrote more than 30 books, most of them non-fictional, there were novels, too, including a couple in the mid-’60s about a plucky young centre by the name of Buck Martin and, later, in 1983, the altogether bawdier Puck is a Four-Letter Word.
Sad news tonight that Ralph Backstrom has died at the age of 83. A son of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, he played parts of 13 seasons at centre for the Montreal Canadiens starting in the late 1950s and on through the ’60s, winning six Stanley Cups and a Calder Trophy along the way. He skated for the Los Angeles Kings, too, and the Blackhawks in Chicago. In the WHA, he played for Chicago’s Cougars as well as the Denver Spurs/Ottawa Civics, and the New England Whalers. He later coached at the University of Denver and with the IHL Phoenix Roadrunners. He was a founder, too, of the Avalanche’s AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles.
Dave Stubbs has a good look at Backstrom’s memorable career at NHL.com, here.

Between 2014 and 2017, ISIS banned children’s toys in their occupied cities, labeling toys as forms of idolatry. Dolls, action figures, teddy bears and other toys with faces or eyes were forbidden. ISIS’s brutal campaigns across Iraq were intended to crush the hope of adults and children alike.
“Children were oppressed (under Islamic State), they didn’t leave anything they didn’t ban,” a father named Hassan told Reuters. “Everyone was oppressed young and old.”
After the fall of ISIS in 2017, Children’s toys were again allowed, and toy shops reopened to sell teddy bears, dolls, and other toys. Reuters reported that “Parents say buying these toys for their children will help them move on after three years of war and terror.”
However, in ISIS’s wake, many families were displaced and forced to flee their homes. Many children still feel the effects of ISIS’s attempts to destroy their hope and happiness.
“Children are traumatized; [ISIS] ruined schools, they ruined toys, [children’s] lives are hell,” another parent, named Taha, also told Reuters.
For the Martyrs is traveling to Iraq to bring toys and Christmas presents to children who are still suffering after ISIS.

It was cold, it was dark and that loud thump THUMP made it fairly obvious that Ronald Durando’s Porsche had a flat tire. As an experienced Porsche driver, and a prepared one at that, Ron wasn’t worried. Not only did he know how to change a flat tire, he was prepared for almost all contingencies with an emergency repair kit, including a flashlight for the dark conditions. Unfortunately, all the preparation in the world doesn’t help when your flashlight’s batteries have gone dead from sitting too long.
Frustrated from his encounter with the dead batteries in his flashlight Ron decided then and there to come up with a better solution. Fortunately, as the co-founder of mPhase Technologies (a publicly traded company that manufactures and designs the batteries of the future, today) he was in a unique position to make good on his promise.
As a Porsche owner and enthusiast Ron was familiar with products from the legendary Porsche Design Studio. Confident in his company’s unique battery technology Ron fired off a “cold” email to Porsche Design in an effort to gauge their interest in creating a product together. According to Ron, “one thing led to another and we now have a co-branding agreement with Porsche Design for this very unusual flashlight”. Quite an understatement when you consider the technology and design of the Emergency Illuminator.
What is the mPower Emergency Illuminator?
First and foremost, it’s a flashlight. However, calling the Emergency Illuminator a flashlight is like calling your Porsche a car. It’s accurate, but it doesn’t do it the justice it deserves. Seriously, what “flashlight” do you know of that can sit left alone on a shelf (or in your glovebox) for 20+ years and still be ready to light the way the at the very moment you need it? As if that weren’t enough, the Emergency Illuminator has a built in USB port that allows you to charge any number of devices in the event of a power failure of other emergency.
mPower On Command™ Reserve Battery
At the heart of the mPower Emergency Illuminator is a revolutionary battery with a shelf life of at least 20 years prior to manual activation. Unlike conventional batteries, the mPower On Command Reserve Battery provides the full capacity of its charge decades into the future without deterioration or corrosion. In other words, when you need light, the Illuminator will deliver.
How does it work?
While we could try to explain the technology, it’s probably easier to simply watch the video below.
PorschePurist’s Review of the mPower Emergency Illuminator
When we first saw the Illuminator we knew we had to have one. When mPower offered to send us one of the first lights to roll off the production line in Austria to review, we jumped at the chance.
As sophisticated as the technology found in the mPower’s unique reserve battery is, getting the light working is incredibly simple. Included in the shipping and storage box is everything you need.
Porsche Design’s influence is evident the moment you open the box. The sturdy carrying case cradles the Emergency Illuminator in a foam surround that protects it both in transport and in storage. Out of the box, the matte black finish and sleek design of the two tube handle makes this light a piece of functional art. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the light’s small size and sophisticated design.
However, after simply unscrewing a machined cap at the end of one of the two tubes (that make up the light’s handle) and inserting the supplied CR-123 batteries,
I saw the light I was converted.
An aluminum collar on the handle of the light is used to move between the off position, on and USB charging (more on this later). The intensity of the beam emitted by the Emergency Illuminator is nothing short of, well, illuminating. From such a small package, the LED throws a fixed width (as opposed to adjustable like the Mag) bright, white light that cuts through the darkness easily.
Additionally, the unique Porsche Designed case allows you to stand the light straight up (allowing you to illuminate an entire room, as if with a lamp, when the power is out) or to lie it on the ground and illuminate an object in from of you (say changing a tire in the dark) without having to worry about it rolling away as my Mag light so often does.
Due to its size and sleek, matte finish, I was originally concerned with the Emergency Illuminator’s durability. However, the light is actually quite rugged and water resistant. The body is made from extruded aluminum and most other parts are machined aluminum. In other words, if you drop it, it will take the impact.
USB Charging Capability
Besides the innovative On Command Reserve battery, the other unique feature that sets the Emergency Illuminator apart from any other flashlight currently on the market is its unique ability to charge a myriad of portable electronic devices via its built in USB port. By simply moving the aluminum selector ring from “ON” to the “USB” position I was able to easily plug in my iPhone and bring its completely drained battery back to life using the supplied CR-123 batteries. According to the product literature, in an emergency situation, the On Command Reserve Battery will provide power for up to two hours of continuous light as well as charging ability to make and receive calls or your cell phone.
What to consider when purchasing the Emergency Illuminator
- unique battery technology with a shelf life of 20+ years
- USB port to charge portable devices in an emergency situation
- small, compact yet powerful and rugged
- high intensity, clean white light
Items to note:
- two tube handle makes for an awkward hand grip (this bothered me for quite some time until I realized the design is best suited for emergency situations where you will most likely be standing the light up straight or lying it on the side vs holding it your hand for long periods of time. Once I realized that I decided it’s not really an issue but would be remiss if I didn’t mention it)
- available glove box bracket not included in price
- no Porsche Design branding on the light itself
Price of the Emergency Illuminator and where to buy one
Like a lot of products developed in conjunction with Porsche Design, the Emergency Illuminator is not inexpensive. However, at $289 you’re not simply buying a status symbol from a renowned Design House. Instead, you’re buying a rugged emergency device that provides peace of mind and security!
What is it worth to know that the next time you need a light in an emergency situation, no matter how long ago you checked the batteries, that you’ll have one? Hopefully, you’ll never need to find out, but if you do and you have the Emergency Illuminator, you can rest assured that you won’t be left in the dark.
If you’re interested in owning one of these lights (as we are) to either put in your Porsche, or for your home, they can be purchased directly from the manufacturer. mPower’s web-site offers much more information on the product as well as the Amazon.com checkout feature for added security.

4. Chop or tear the spinach leaves with your fingers.
5. Dice the onion.
6. In a pot boil enough water to cover seafood with a bouillon cube and half of the diced onions.
7. Add meat/seafood one at a time and boil for about 5 minutes, no more than 7 minutes to avoid disintegration of fish, then gently remove them.
8. Remove meat from stock after they are done cooking.
9. Heat the red palm oil in another pot, then add the remaining onions and fry for a few minutes.
10. Fry the okra until it is heated through and through. Begin adding the stock in small increments, stirring constantly to activate the okra's elasticity
11. Add the peppers and spinach after all of the stock has been added—cover and cook for a maximum of 1 minute.
12. Add the fish and shrimps, season with salt as needed, and stir thoroughly, cover and cook for a few minutes.
The Seafood Okra Pepper Soup is done and ready to be served.
Note: If you want less water in your soup, reduce the stock by boiling it for a long time before adding it to the pot.

Whats up with this damn mission?
On my psyker I just BARELY managed to destroy the 2 pain engines in time before they broke through the barricades and thats only because of movement speed buffs and ignoring most enemies.
On my crusader I can just reach the first pain engine in time before they break through and the mission fails. Every time.
Both characters are far overleveled and playing on story mode.
Those barricades need more damn health or the pain engines less damage because as it is now is just stupid.

Tips By Bamboo Forest What’s the ultimate hack for writing productivity? Set a timer… folks. There’s no better way to plug into your writing and destroy distractions than by setting a timer and telling your mind you’ll write for the allotted time you’ve chosen. It works like Jedi magic. And come to think of it… Magic is what you need in an online world where you’re distracted every couple seconds. When you set a timer and seriously commit yourself to writing for a duration of time you’ve chosen, you’ve just single handedly put yourself in a bubble of kick-ass. It’s actually the place I feel most at home. Nothing can touch you here. Twitter? It’s got nothing on you. Nothing. Instant messenger? Sorry! You ain’t welcome around here, kid. The phone? If you put it on silence for the duration of time your timer’s ticking, I can assure that when your writing time ends, you’ll be looking sharper than ever and no harm will come. You’ll have accomplished something great. You can check your phone when you’re done, OK? Nothing Grows Our Blog Like Great Writing There’s a lot of little ways to tweak your blog. Lots of little tidbits, nuggets and sprinkles you can glean from blogs on blogging that may help you…†a little. But let’s get real, shall we? None of that, absolutely none of it is really going to grab the attention of prospective readers like prose that grabs them by the throats and keeps them there until the last line has been read. Great writing is the number one ingredient that gets our blogs out there and admired. Let’s do this. So my advice if you’re strapped for time as many of us surely are: Use the time you have almost exclusively on creating awesome content. Here’s what Leo Babauta, who knows a little bit about this, has to say about what worked for him while he was working full time and doing freelance writing on top of it: “What’s the most important thing a blogger can do to grow his blog and readership? Write great content. Not add links or widgets to the sidebar, not check stats, not reading or commenting other blogs, not even responding to comments or email. Writing great content. That’s by far the most important thing you can do.” [Bold emphasis mine] And it’s not like you have to complete a full post in one sitting. Nonsense. You could set a timer for 15 minutes a day of hard, focused writing and by the end of the week finish a†solid post or two. Using a timer for our writing sessions forces us to put everything aside and write like maniacs until it sounds. It makes the little time we do have, laser focused. And even if we do have a fair amount of time on our hands, it helps us stay miles away from the distractions that bombard us, keeping us honest. So yeah… We can say we’ll write five minutes from now and we just might. We can say we’ll write after we’ve eaten supper and… well… maybe we will. Or… We can be real. We can be writers. We can do this. We can set a timer, commit ourselves to working non-stop until it sounds and feel proud at what we’ve accomplished. That’s what I’m talking about. You with me on this? After all this talk about using a timer to generate focused, timely writing, you’d think I’d offer you a resource to use right about now? Wouldn’t ya? Of course I will, child. Online Timer for Writers I’ve recently given birth to a little, humble site with a timer you can freely use 7 days a week, 365 days a year (Even during all major holidays). This site was spawned by me, one of your fellow and very, very obsessed writers. Setting a timer has worked wonders for getting me to write and to increase my general productivity and it’ll probably help you enormously as well. So if you want to kill procrastination and plug into a time frame where you do nothing but write, I recommend you head on over to my little site, Tick Tock Timer. Oh… and when you hear the gongs going off… after you’ve just finished writing a kick-ass blog post that’ll put massive smiles on the faces of many… I want you to party like it’s 1999.

Members of the European Parliament and member states reached a deal last night (5 November) which would weaken a European Union proposal to reduce the allowable amount of noise vehicles can emit.
The agreed position would delay the deadline for the new noise limits to 2027, compared to the deadline of 2021 proposed by the European Commission. The agreement would reduce noise levels by 2.6 decibels (dB), compared to the reduction of 3.4dB called for in the original proposal.
EU vehicle noise limits were first set in 1970, and were last revised in 1996. The current limit is 74dB.
Under the deal, the law would be rolled out in three phases. By 2017, carmakers will have to begin using a new test for vehicle noise that will take better account fo real-world driving conditions. In the second phase, noise will have to be reduced by 1-2 dB by 2021-23 for some categories of vehicles, with different deadlines for different categories. By 2027 all vehicles will have to meet the 2.6dB reduction.
The deal still needs to be approved by the Parliament’s environment committee, where it could still be undone. The EPP, ALDE, and ECR groups support the deal, but the S&D, GUE and Green groups oppose it.
Green transport group T&E blasted the deal, saying both MEPs and member states had given in to motor industry lobbying. “Because the standards will only apply to new vehicles in 15 years’ time, the full benefits from these updated noise standards won’t be heard for almost 30 years,” said Cécile Toubeau, a campaigner with the group.
A report commissioned for the Irish EU Presidency earlier this year found that while the Commission’s proposal would have provided a societal benefit of around €190 billion, the agreed deal, which closely resembles the Council’s position, would provide a benefit of €123 billion. In contrast, the total cost to the industry for the 2013-2040 period under the Commission proposal would have been €7 billion and now the agreed position will cost around €5.7 billion.
German Liberal MEP Holger Krahmer, who is a shadow rapporteur on the file, defended the deal reached in trilogue. “I will defend the package,” he said. “The annex is reasonable and leads to significant noise emission reductions from traffic. The Commission confirmed that as well.”
Miroslav Ouzký, the centre-right Czech MEP who led negotiations, found himself at the centre of a scandal last year when it was discovered that in the compromise amendment document he submitted to weaken the limits, a representative of German car manufacturer Porsche was listed as the author. Germany has been lobbying for less stringent noise limits, particularly for sports cars.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF POPULAR ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR COGNITIVE RADIO AD HOC NETWORKS
Cognitive radio ad hoc networks play an important role in wireless communications as they can use the existing wireless spectrum efficiently. Cognitive radio ad hoc networks possess all capabilities of the traditional wireless ad hoc networks, and are equipped with intrinsic capabilities such as the sensing ability to detect the time and location varying spectrum availability, and the cooperative working ability among cognitive users to minimize the bad effects to primary users. However, the low achievable performance of the networks may prevent them from being widely deployed. There are many works considering this issue. As a consequence, some routing protocols for cognitive radio ad hoc networks have been established. In this paper, we study some popular routing protocols proposed for cognitive radio ad hoc networks. We give the simulation results and analyses on the performance of these routing protocols in a comparable manner. It is our main contribution in this work.

Recently Valentine’s Day has come under fire because people feel that they have to be in a romantic relationship in order to celebrate the holiday.
People also don’t like buying into the holiday, seeing it as a scam set up by capitalist economies to get people to buy overpriced Valentine’s Day-related items such as chocolate and flowers.
Their feelings are not unfounded. USA Today reports that people are spending over $140 on Valentine’s Day this year.
Valentine’s Day is so much more than celebrating the love between two members of a romantic relationship.
I believe that many of us have lost sight of that, preferring, for whatever reason, to drown in our respective sorrows while crying over a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.
Valentine’s Day was one of my favorite holidays as a kid.
In school you had the opportunity to buy or make a small gift for your classmates.
I always liked crafting a handmade Valentine, making sure that I made my closest friends’ Valentine’s Day cards fancier than people I wasn’t as close to.
At that point in my life, I was not romantically involved with anyone. I still thought boys in my first grade class had cooties.
Yet, we still celebrated the holiday, arguably, with more fervor than I celebrate it now.
So why is it now that I am in my 20s that I hear my peers hating on a holiday we loved so much as children?
There are so many forms of love, and any or all of them should be celebrated on Valentine’s Day.
For example, if you are single, you can celebrate your love with your friends, your parents.
Even your pets could be a reason to be happy and celebrate Valentine’s Day.
If you are in a relationship, then you have the best of all worlds.
You can celebrate Valentine’s Day and express your love to anyone in your life.
I am in a long-distance relationship so I will be spending my Valentine’s Day without my loved one.
But rather than being upset about it and closing myself off from the world, I am going to make the best of the situation and spend it surrounded by friends that I care about and having a nice
FaceTime call in the evening with my boyfriend.
Celebrating does not necessarily have to require money being spent either.
Sometimes all someone needs to make their day just a little bit better is a hug, phone call or a brief statement as to why they matter.
These free displays of affection are perfect for college students on a broke college student budget.
Being told that you matter to another person has a great effect on mental health.
That in turn makes one have a more positive outlook, makes one happier and can improve overall health.
It is my hope that we as a society can come to the realization that Valentine’s Day is a great holiday.
It is an opportunity to show how loving we all are toward one another, and in our present social climate the more love that gets shared, the better.
So, put your Chubby Hubby back in the freezer and give your best friend, roommate or dog a hug and feel the love this Valentine’s Day.

Over the last few months, we have been investing heavily in our sites, and as a result, many have had new machinery and upgrades. These investments have been made to improve operational performance and sustainability, and to make production more efficient. In the long-term, these investments will be of enormous benefit, not only to our team but to our customers and are an example of how we are investing in the future of DTE.
Here are some of the operational improvements that have been made to our sites around the UK:
Our Cramlington site has upgraded their Mitek truss press equipment to new state of the art pressing technology which replaced forty-year-old equipment. The new equipment is already saving considerable production time by reducing the number of breakdowns that were associated with the old equipment.
General Manager at the site, Andrew Lee said: “Significant investment has been made to replace our old pressing equipment. The new counterbalanced truss press units supplied by MiTek have allowed the site to produce more trussed rafters per day, keeping delivery periods to a minimum and helping our customers to hit their on-site construction targets.”
At our site in Enstone, the old cyber saw that was used to cut the majority of timber had been at the site for over 15 years and was often unreliable. The site invested in a new Hundegger saw at the start of the year, and the team are already experiencing the benefits. The software package that accompanies the new saw, batches the timber components together to reduce the amount of waste generated, and as a result, will improve production efficiencies and be better for the environment. Not only that, but the saw is more accurate in the cutting stage, produces less airborne dust in the working environment and makes the fabrication of trusses a simpler process.
Andover is also reaping the benefits of their new Hundegger saw. The site has been reviewing the improvements and efficiencies that have taken effect at the site. The Hundegger replaced the site’s old cyber saw that had served them well for over 18 years.
Highly experienced Sawyer, Stuart Taylor commented on the benefits of the new saw: “The Hundegger is ten times better than the old saw, mainly due to it being a lot faster and easier to work with less wastage.”
As a result, the site can manufacture at a quicker speed with increased accuracy.
Cambridge Roof Truss
Since the acquisition of Cambridge Roof Truss in November 2018, the team have been working hard to make various operational improvements at the site. There were recently new truss storage poles installed at the site which, as a result, have reduced steps recorded on production employees’ fit bits by almost half. This means that the workforce spends less time on foot and more time in production. The site has also recently purchased a new artic trailer that can accommodate trusses over 4 metres in height, which is more cost-effective than using an external delivery service.
Our Warrington site has doubled its truss production capability with new equipment commissioned at the beginning of May 2019.
Following on from our recent investment in the brand new purpose-built head office at our site in Buckhaven, we’ve also been investing in new machinery for our production site. In order to support the introduction of posi joist manufacture at the site, we’ve recently had a Uni Roll 750 posi press installed to offer our customers a wider range of products from the site. There have also been lasers installed for both the posi press and table press to speed up set up time for posi joists and trusses. The investment has also included a slice press, and a birch EMT truss cross-cut saw. The investment will increase efficiencies in production in the long run and allow us to provide an improved service to our customers.

With less than three years to the 2023 presidential election, some political power blocs within the ruling All Progressive Congress are currently in a fierce battle to choose their loyalists as chairman and commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission, findings by SaharaReporters has revealed.
Investigations showed that three influential power blocs in the APC were currently strategising for the 2023 general election, each trying to outsmart others to have their own INEC nominees’ team endorsed by President Muhammadu Buhari and thereafter to effectively seize control of the commission using their nominees.
The emerging takeover of INEC first became obvious a few weeks ago when one of the contending groups quickly secured the nod of the President for the nomination of Lauretta Onochie, a well known card-carrying member of the APC, as a national commissioner for the electoral body.
Sources close to those directly involved in the ongoing power struggle were of the view that the outlook and formation of the next INEC will be purely composed of members and sympathisers of the ruling party, who have pledged their loyalty and commitment to work for their partisan cause in all elections leading to 2023 before their nomination to the commission.
Those seeking to control the commission want to ensure that all commissioners whose tenure were coming to an end either at the national or state levels, who had exhibited independent mindedness, as expected of a true umpire or, who are known for integrity and are not given to rigging or manipulation of election, would not have their tenures renewed nor elevated but would be eased off from the commission, a source told SaharaReporters.
On the other hand, more partisan individuals would be appointed to take-over INEC despite the public outrage that may follow, such as that witnessed with the nomination of Onochie, it was gathered.
Sources familiar with the plan suggest that partisan nominations such as that of Onochie was just a tip of the iceberg considering what one of these groups had already set in motion.
“They insist that many more within the party who were taken unawares but now know that with President Buhari, any individual or group can get what it desires because it is a case of first come-first-serve. Hence they compared the ongoing scenario with what they experienced with the case of the Niger Delta Development Commission Board nominees, where a group compiled a list of nominees for the President and then had their list confirmed by the Senate, but the list they had confirmed was again substituted by another list of nominees for the same board, in the end none of the groups succeeded as each group continued to struggle to prevail.
“A similar struggle is now ongoing for the control of INEC and will become more intense in the days ahead as many more within the APC with various ambitions realise the stakes and how far their adversaries within the party have gone in taking control of the election management body for their partisan purposes in 2023,” one source added.
“lf those who yearn for effective and significant changes in good governance in Nigeria do not act urgently with a determination to ensure no-partisan-control of INEC and demand for a truly Independent Electoral Commission composed of individuals of proven integrity, their quest for a better Nigeria will not succeed.
“Indeed, many have shown umbrage that Mrs Lauretta Onochie, a well-known APC political attack-Doberman, was nominated for appointment to conduct elections that will feature APC and other parties from this year till the next five years. But how many have scrutinised the other people who were also appointed along with her, what are their pedigree and political affiliations in the past, what is their public and private record as it pertains to election Integrity.
“Currently, a faction of the APC coordinated between the presidency, with a minister who has gubernatorial ambitions as well as some arrowheads in the legislature, have entered into a pact with individuals in INEC, to return them and a group of APC loyalists to take over INEC and thereby sweep out many who are currently in INEC, despite the fact that some of them have experiences in effective reforms that have improved significant aspects of elections since 2011.
“The purpose of this emerging appointments and expected purges to follow within INEC is to re-configure INEC to deliver a pre-determined election outcome by 2023,” the source added.

Inspired by fencing and MJ’s ability to control his opponents every move through spacing, the Air Jordan 2009 incorporated a pleated-silk upper, metallic mesh breathability ports and sword-slash traction pattern. Its panache leather took cues from the design of the AJXI.
Unlike other Air Jordans, the AJ 2009 is the first in the series to use its release year in the name, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to performance innovation. It was also the second shoe in the series — behind the AJXIII — to become part of the Nike Considered category for its use of environmentally-friendly materials.

BERTRAND CHAVARRÍA-ALDRETE – CARPERE FIDE(S)
Acclaimed guitarist and artistic director of SMASH ensemble, Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete, came up with the idea of starting an “archive” – at once a series of albums and a physical collection of repertoire – encompassing contemporary Spanish guitar music, simply because there wasn’t one. Born in Lyon, France, Bertrand has been resident in Spain for more than a decade, and believes fervently in the celebration of Spain’s wealth of contemporary music, highlights of which he presents with integrity and passion on this disc.
This CD presents contemporary Spanish guitar music in all its diverse and vibrant colours. In Gabriel Erkoreka’s Fantasía the guitar-writing of Flamenco music is transformed into a modern guise, while the ‘imperfections’ of the authentic cante jondo (‘deep singing’) at the heart of Flamenco music are relished via guitar techniques such as pitch bends.
Alberto Hortigüela’s Tres tientos de Antonio de Cabezón are based on the wonderful music of that Renaissance composer, and Mikel Urquiza’s Belarretan for guitar and tape was inspired by works including Titian’s Concert champêtre. Elena Mendoza’s Breviario de espejismos reflects Los Caprichos by Goya, while Joan Riera Robusté’s Poética (supongo) draws on more recent inspiration in the form of poetry by contemporary Spanish poet Julieta Valero.
In Ezkil by Ramón Lazkano (whose music is featured on Chalk Laboratory on Odradek, ODRCD320), the composer distorts archetypes of guitar writing: the instrument’s ambiguous harmonies, scordatura tuning effects, jangling sonorities and fragile harmonics barely sound like a conventional acoustic guitar at all.
Booklet in English, Spanish and French.
Program notes by Joanna Wyld.
“… an ambitious project and outstanding record.”
Neuguitars - Andrea Aguzzi / 17 May 2017
“Odradek Records is an independent American nonprofit record company devoted to the diffusion of contemporary music. In 2016 the label produced this cd, which in fact is something more: this is the first piece of an interesting recording project of a Spanish contemporary guitar music’s archive created by Spanish guitarist Bertrand Chavarria-Aldrete.
This first piece of this upcoming ambitious archive is this cd: fide (s) carpet, where is contained in the music of Gabriel Erkoreka, author of Fantasia 2001, Alberto Hortiguela, with his 2014 Tres tientos de Antonio de Cabezon, Mikel Urquiza with Bellaretan (2014), Elena Mendoza with 2005 Breviario de espejismos, Joan Riera Robuste with Poetica (supongo) composed in2012 and Ramon Lazkano with Ezkil (2002).
This is a remarkable work. A combination of eight highly structured passages, designed with extreme lucidity and performed with a high level of sensitivity, perfection and intent. Spain. The cradle of the classic guitar. Perhaps we have forgotten this country, in these years passed analyzing, discussing, criticizing Andres Segovia’s figure. We have forgotten the presence of new composers, the legacy of Narciso Yepes, a great interpreter for the composers of his time. Now, Spain has decided to come back, to express new ideas, to listen to new music, to renew itself. It’s an ambitious project and outstanding record.”
“Complex and dreamlike, our encounter with the guitar and magnetic tape creates a sublime, tender, pastoral and playful patchwork…”
Anaclase.com / 17 April 2017
Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete (b“Just browse the biography of orn in 1978) to see how much the guitarist, native of Lyon and of Mexican origin, is involved in the art of his time. Indeed, there are about 30 composers, mostly Spaniards, whose interpreter ensured a world premiere. If the pieces for ensemble dominate, it is mixed with some dialogues with the cello (signed Fernando Fiszbein, Octavio Lopez, José Luis Torá, etc.), flute (Iñaki Estrada, Nikita Kochkine) or percussion (Roberto Rusconi, Jorge Sancho), when they are not just solos (José Luis Campana, Arturo Fuentes, Jose Pablo Polo, Emmanuel Pautrot, etc.).
Born between 1968 and 1988, six other Hispanic creators appeared in a programme of works conceived in the first 15 years of this century. Fantasía (2001) is Gabriel Erkoreka's first work, inspired by Gabriel Erkoreka (born in Bilbao in 1969) and by cante jondo, a deep and dramatic song linked to the roots of flamenco, the beauty of which Lorca and Falla boasted. The musician modernizes his folk model with incisive string pincers and rhythmic percussion, devoting the first third of the piece to nervous flow and the two others to a soothing energy that highlights the virtuosity of the interpreter.
For the French, Ramon Lazkano (Donostia, 1968) proves to be the best known name of this musical era. When he wins Paris at the age of nineteen, the pupil of Grisey and Bancquart does not imagine that one can "create something out of nothing without memory or tradition" (in program Présences 2017) Keeping in mind the works of the Generación del 51 isolated by Francoism (Halffter, Pablo). In Ezkil (2002), he tackles the archetypes with an instrument tuned in quarter-tones, creating special resonances that justify the title (bell, in Basque), with tone and distinction.
Elena Mendoza (Seville, 1973) has been interested in mirages by responding to an order for Francisco de Goya before she became interested in lies in her recent Madrid opera [see our column of 21 February 2017]. Of an engraved woman covered with a mask (Nadie se conoce, 1799), she imagines a work on the perpetual mutation, a game of hide and seek between known and unknown. Brevario de espejismos (2005) prefers to intrigue as rudoyer, tenderly febrile, quivering.
Exceeding the quarter of an hour, Poética (supongo) (2012) is the longest page of this first inventory of the Spanish guitar recent - other volumes will follow. Joan Riera Robusté (Barcelona, 1968) is the author of jazz and electro-acoustics, inspired by a poem by Julieta Valero. As Joanna Wyld writes, "Robust uses minimalist textures with slow evolution to create an air of timelessness, suspense and expectation, with the guitar specially tuned for a natural and open resonance." All is said ! And the play will delight lovers of hypnotic trance.
If painting and literature energize the reflection of composers, the legacy of their colleagues is a ferment sometimes salient. Thus Alberto Hortigüela (Burgos, 1969) adapts Antonio de Cabezón (1510-1556), pioneer of the organ, famous for his contrapuntal pieces (holdo) on the border of German fantasy and Italian ricercare. Tres tenuos by Antonio de Cabezón (2014) plunges the listener into a delicacy of another time.
Let's finish with the cadet Mikel Urquiza (Bilbao, 1988), who was a student of Erkoreka and Lazkano before attending many French ensembles (The Instant Donne, Quatuor Diotima, The Imaginary). He also innovated by frequenting the arts, as in Belarretan (2014) who finds in Manet, Titien and Poulenc a resonance to the subtitle of the score: on the grass. Complex and dreamlike, the encounter of the guitar with a magnetic tape sublime a tender pastoral and playful patchwork, typical of a generation reflected but uncomplexed - Mauro Lanza [read our critic CD], Aurélien Dumont [read our review of the CD] Etc.”

There was a roar in the darkness. A mechanical digger was lumbering towards them. Behind it were 2,000 police in riot gear. The few dozen protestors fled from their tents.
This was 3.30am on 6 December, the Susa Valley, a valley rising up into the French-Italian Alps, west of Turin. This is a story about the environment and how the powerful will try to crush us if they don’t like what democracy says. The peasants of the Susa Valley are revolting.
Three years ago the authorities unveiled plans for a new high-speed rail link (TAV) between Turin and Lyon in France. A year later the government passed a law authorising the TAV, meaning tunnels through the mountains.
All local councils voted it down. Dozens of dossiers were sent to the regional government, hundreds of objections arrived at the ministry of the environment.
Nimbyism? Hardly, this valley of about 60,000 people has got virtually no backyard left. Alberto Perino, a “grandfather-demonstrator”, said, “We’ve already got a fast rail link, a motorway and two A-roads.”
The first demonstration of 20,000 people in the valley was in May 2003. The authorities ignored it. People started petitioning the European Union in Brussels.
Protests grew. In June 30,000 people demonstrated in Venaus, which has a population of under 1,000. Many came from the engineering union FIOM. The right wing Berlusconi government moved the start date back to the end of October.
Over 1,000 police were sent up mountain roads to set up building sites but found huge tree trunks in front of them. Demonstrators outflanked them by using mountain paths. The police withdrew.
The police occupied the valley. Alberto explained, “To get home you have to get through a checkpoint. If you can’t prove you live somewhere you can’t go home.”
Local councils set up open meetings. Bussoleno, with of population of 6,000, had over 1,000 attending, many of them engineers, who demanded the valley went on strike.
On 16 November 70,000 hit the streets—everywhere was shut. Two weeks later a delegation of MEPs visited the area, including the left wing Vittorio Agnoletto, who was attacked by police on a picket line.
At one stage demonstrators imprisoned police behind barricades for 11 hours in sub-zero temperatures. About 10,000 gathered in Venaus. This time it was a spontaneous general strike—the authorities backed off again.
Police were not just facing “falling” tree trunks. One demoralised officer told a protestor, “With all these nails on the roads we’re losing four squad cars a day.”
This is what led to the massive police attack last week.
In response demonstrators immediately occupied the Italy-France rail link. A replacement bus service was started, so they occupied the motorway and the two trunk roads.
Local factories shut down and joined pickets, as did schools. There was a protest in Turin. The main city station was closed and dozens of factories walked out.
There were solidarity demonstrations in Rome, Genoa, Modena, Milan, and Brescia.
Thirty six hours later a demonstration formed up in the valley bottom at Susa marched up the valley to the building site at Venaus, skirmishing with the police. Numbers built up to 50,000—the building site was reconquered. The barricades were rebuilt.
Alberto said, “Some 94 percent of all goods transported between Italy and France already come through here.
“We also get 35 percent of all trans-Alpine traffic. If they dig such huge tunnels there will be massive hydrological problems. And our mountains contain asbestos and uranium.”
So far not one hole has been dug. Alberto said, “They haven’t even been able to set up any work huts yet, nothing’s going to happen until spring.”
Now people are digging in for winter. Demonstrators are camped out at 15 degrees below zero. A new Europe is trying to emerge from the Susa Valley.
Peru declares climate emergency
Imperialist tensions are heating up
The islands’ royals live in luxury

The dispute about an elephant painting from Mio has reached a settlement and will not reach the law, reports SVT News West.
The board’s motive was a copy by British photographer Nick Brandt’s famous elephant picture “Portrait of elephant on the bare earth”, as shown at the Photographic Museum in Stockholm last year. Photographer demanded 300,000 crowns in compensation from the furniture giant, which he felt had infringed copyright and “blackened down his brand”.
Mio removed the painting from its lineup, apologized and said that the damage was minimal but the photographer sued anyway Mio for copyright infringement. But now the parties have thus reached a settlement, the details are secret.
– I can not say more than that the parties have agreed, saying the furniture giant Mio’s lawyer Per Josefsson to SVT.

Iran’s recent failed ballistic missile launch from a submerged “midget” submarine has once again bought up the specter of Iran’s military ties with North Korea.
The two rogue regimes are so joined at the hip, their relationship would require a marriage license to be this close.
To say the mullahs in Tehran share a lot of the same values with Kim Jong-un would be an understatement of historic proportions. Both regimes have engaged in overseas assassinations and terrorist operations, especially killing dissidents and political opponents—and in the case of Kim, even family members.
Both have invested heavily in developing illicit nuclear programs, including extensive development of ballistic missile designs. The level of cooperation and sharing is akin to Intel designing microprocessors for Dell computers.
In the latest incident, the launch of what is being portrayed as Iran’s first with the Jask-2 underwater cruise missile, uses a missile design intelligence experts believe to be a copy of previous missiles tested in North Korea.
This revelation would hardly be a surprise, as the Ghadir class electric submarine used as a platform to launch the cruise missile is also a direct copy of the North Korean Yono class sub.
Both Iran and North Korea were part of the notorious A.Q. Kahn nuclear proliferation network, and bilateral trade in oil and weapons has continued despite UN resolutions designed to stop it. Ballistic missile cooperation is documented, and nuclear cooperation has been an unspoken theme in Washington.
According to Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California, the evidence of collaboration between North Korea and Iran is ample and of long standing.
“The very first missiles we saw in Iran were simply copies of North Korean missiles,” he told Fox News “Over the years, we’ve seen photographs of North Korean and Iranian officials in each other’s countries, and we’ve seen all kinds of common hardware.”
With decades of previous cooperation between the two countries raises the concern that Iran —after its economic windfall from the nuclear agreement, including the $1.7 billion in cash it received from the U.S. for the swap of hostages. — could offer financial assistance to the cash-strapped hermit kingdom in exchange for missile technology.
Despite the overwhelming evidence of collusion between these two rouge nations the Iran lobby and its appeasers still make the false claim of moderation while Iran continues its aggressive behavior in the Persian Gulf and its meddling in the Middle East, as well as its continued efforts to develop missiles.
And North Korea has solidified its nuclear forces and is working on designing solid-fuel missiles that are much more easily concealed and dangerous than its current, liquid-fueled missile arsenal, as well as nuclear warheads that are small enough for missile delivery.
It is ironic that while Iran and North Korea share so much, they also share in the lack of condemnation or criticism from the Iran lobby. Supporters such as the National Iranian American Council can’t even be bothered to issue a press release condemning North Korea’s underground nuclear tests.
If the evidence cited in the Fox News report is true, then the Trump administration will have to face the need to deal with two problems at once: North Korea’s active development of nuclear weapons and missiles and Iran’s use of North Korean technology to improve its own military might.
Therein lies the danger of one rogue nuclear armed state that has already been threatening nuclear war is now working with an aspirant nuclear armed state that is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The risk to U.S. and international security is greatly at risk unless steps can be taken to stop the collaboration in its tracks.
But the solution for both regimes long term lies in prying open the opportunity for domestic political reforms and enabling dissident groups to finally come in from exile. In the case of North Korea that means gaining support from China and for Iran it means empowering Iranian dissident groups to participate in Iranian society openly and freely again.

Many have said that the UK is irreparably divided and therefore dysfunctional to the point of impeding the ability of any one party to govern it effectively.
Interviews with Leave and Remain supporters shows a common desire to preserve community and frustration with the self-interest of some politicians.
The social polarisation over Brexit is pronounced and shows no sign of diminishing.
Theresa May is courting ethnic minority support for her Brexit deal with her rhetoric on EU nationals ‘jumping the queue’.
Results showing a large number of Leave constituencies now back Remain caused great excitement but don’t necessarily mean major change is on the way.
March 30 officially marked one year to go before the Brexit clock strikes. How can the “leave” camp get out of this one? The classic 1969 heist movie ‘The Italian Job’ provides clues.
Jeremy Corbyn was criticised for his unclear position on Brexit, but it may actually have been the smarter move.
Would a competent entrepreneur plough on with a decision that started to look a bit dodgy?
If Holyrood is ultimately answerable to Westminster, Westminster is ultimately answerable to realpolitik.
George Osborne has sought to reassure markets, but the referendum result has sparked a chain of painful events at a time when Britain has no means to protect itself.
A significant number of people were always going to be disappointed by the result. This is for anyone who wanted to stay.
How will the votes be counted? When will we know the result? Stuart Wilks-Heeg has all the answers.
Boris could be about to discover a taste for Scottish nationalism.
Leavers are very active but remainers have secured some key victories – even before #catsagainstbrexit turned up.
It was a last chance to answer those all important questions. But the Leave campaign failed to deliver.
The US doesn’t love the UK enough to prioritise it over a massive trading bloc like the EU.
Who really knows where the EU referendum is headed: the pollsters, or the bookies?
Brexiters on the Left fear that a UK vote to Remain would permanently put the railways in private hands. Here’s our Fact Check verdict.
The EU drags Britain kicking and screaming to the left. Lexiters need to update their principles before voting on them.

The Deadliest Animals in the U.S.
For exclusive access to all of our fitness, gear, adventure, and travel stories, plus discounts on trips, events, and gear, sign up for Outside+ today.
Whether it’s by stinging, crushing, biting, butting, kicking, or any other variety of accidental or nefarious means, animals injure millions and kill hundreds of people every year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) keeps a database of the fatalities. Dr. Joseph Forrester and colleagues pulled all of the agency’s statistics from 1999 to 2007, organized and analyzed what they found, and then wrote a paper—appropriately titled “Fatalities From Venomous and Nonvenomous Animals in the United States (1999–2007).”
Some motivation to write the paper, which was published last June in Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, came from Forrester’s job as a general surgery resident. He sees small children who have been bitten in the face by dogs. And some motivation came from further afield: Forrester has paddled down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers with the help of his brother Jared, and the two have climbed mountains from Africa to South America.
“Whenever we are traveling in these areas, it is easy to let one’s mind drift and wonder, What if?” Forrester says. “Particularly with respect to aggressive animals. We wanted to see how our perception of animal-related fatalities corresponded to reality as defined by the CDC database.”
Some fascinating numbers that they found:
1,802: The number of animal-related fatalities that resulted from a bite, contact, attack, or envenomation in the United States from 1999 to 2007. On average, that’s 200.2 deaths per year. (What’s not included in that number: Over the same period, 980 fatalities resulted from accidents where people were riding on an animal or were in a vehicle pulled by an animal. The U.S. averages 217 fatalities a year due to crashes with animals. That average is taken from data collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration between 2006 and 2010.)
84%: The percentage of people who died that were Caucasian.
46.7%: The percentage of deaths that occurred in the South.
5: The number of deaths that came from scorpions, which were the number 11 cause of death in the CDC database. (While some animals were separated out in the database, many animals were thrown into larger groups—as you’ll see below.)
The Top 10 deadliest animals:
10. Crocodiles and alligators caused 9 deaths.
9. Marine animals caused 10 deaths. The International Shark Attack File counts 8 fatalities from 2000 to 2007.
8. Venomous snakes and lizards caused 59 deaths.
7. Venomous arthropods that weren’t spiders, scorpions, centipedes and millipedes caused 63 deaths. “One known cause is fire ants in the South that can preferentially cause increased risk of death in the elderly and very young,” says Forrester. “Our data seems to support this with the majority of deaths due to other specified venomous arthropods occurring in the two older age groups and in the South region.” 80% of these deaths occurred among people 35 or older; 65% of these deaths occurred in the South.
6. Venomous spiders caused 70 deaths.
5. Reptiles that weren’t venomous snakes and lizards, alligators, or crocodiles caused 77 deaths. “The CDC WONDER database casts a broad net again for this category (other reptiles) by including lizards and non-venomous snakes and the cause of death being bitten or crushed by the animal,” says Forrester. “Unfortunately, they do not specify the most common types of lizards or snakes.”
4. Nonvenomous insects or nonvertebrates caused 85 deaths. “Unfortunately the WONDER database is again somewhat vague here and does not provide a list of common offenders,” says Forrester.
3. Dogs caused 250 deaths. About 885,000 people a year require medical attention after being bitten by a dog. Each year, the U.S. loses $1 billion as a result of injuries or deaths from dog bites. 34% of all deaths caused by dogs occurred to children younger than 4. The victim is usually the owner or a member of the owner’s family.
“To reduce these attacks, better education on dog behaviors and proper restraint of dogs around toddlers need to occur,” says Forrester. “The sad part about the animal attacks is that it seems like common sense, don’t keep children around potentially aggressive dogs unsupervised, but the reality is parents don’t seem to appreciate how terrible a dog bite to a child’s face can be.”
2. Hornets, wasps, and bees were responsible for 509 deaths. The yearly average was 79. 80.9% of those who died were men and 93.1% were people over the age of 35.
1. Cats, cows, horses, pigs, raccoons, and other hoofed animals caused 655 deaths, and were all lumped into a category called “other mammals.” “We looked at previous papers regarding this category and it seems like the largest are most likely cows and horses,” says Forrester. “Unfortunately, we do not know the exact percentages, but the livestock majority seems to fit with which areas of the country have the most farms and farm workers.”

Blood Moon: a novella and eight standalone short stories from 'Arguably the finest writer of short fiction today, in any genre' (New Scientist).
Scar, a lone grey wolf wandering the North Canadian plains, harbours a strange and burdensome secret which caused him to be banished from his pack. Now he must hide his grotesque affliction for as long as possible in the hope that he will find a new pack. He knows that as soon as it's discovered he will either be torn to pieces or ostracised again, yet his one hope of redemption is that this life-long burden might actually become a weapon to use against the ultimate enemy of all wolves.
Also included in this volume: eight short stories of science fiction and fantasy, seven of which have never before been published.

RV Solar Series: How much solar did we need? My answer was 600-700 watts of solar installed flat, (700 installed) to recharge our battery and live daily. Given six hours of sunshine, (winter) assuming the batteries were not overly discharged we should be good.
Part of the assumption was that you can’t always count on the sun, and sometimes it gets cloudy for part of the day. Another item of note is that our panels are only tilted enough to make the water run-off, about 5 degrees from flat. We don’t tilt the panels nor do we use any portable panels that could be pointed perpendicular to the sun.
Most of the solar energy will be wasted
Now something we didn’t understand fully at the beginning, is that most of the time, most of the potential energy that the panel could produce will not be used. That statement applies to daily use and annual use. Most of the capability of the 700 watts is wasted – never used. Initially, I was heartbroken but it is the nature of the beast. Here is how that works.
The battery is like a stomach
The problem is not with the panels, the problem lies in how a battery likes to be treated. If I were to draw an analogy to the human body I would describe it like this. The battery is the stomach. A plate of food is the panels. It doesn’t matter how big the plate of food is, the stomach can only take so much at a time. To further the analogy when you are really hungry you can eat food faster, but after a short while, you need to slow down and consume at a more reasonable rate. The battery operates almost exactly like this. Feed it fast early in the morning then taper off as the day goes on.
The way a non-tracking solar panel system works is that they are most capable at noon. Unfortunately, the battery wants to be fed the fastest early in the day. A solar panel that you can point at the sun, early in the day is much more effective than my flat-mounted panel. This is one of the reasons I needed a larger than necessary solar panel system is to charge the battery early during the day – and another reason why so much potential energy is wasted.
How to squeeze enough solar out of a right-sized system without too much waste.
The key item in the system was a good charge controller. Among other things, it feeds the battery the right amount at the right time.
Early in the charge cycle, it transfers most all available energy into the battery. This is called the bulk charge portion of the cycle. Unfortunately, unless the panels are aligned with the sun, they aren’t ready to put out maximum, thus the bulk portion of the charge takes longer than it would have had the panels been aligned correctly. As you can see, before 8 am, bulk does not mean the same thing as mega. Just that all the available energy is transferred to the battery.
My panels and my charge controller could potentially kick out 50 amps in one hour. Reality not being the same thing as theory, it will never do so because of #1 the orientation of the panels and #2 the needs of the battery.
In the calculations in sizing my array is that I didn’t want panels that tracked or even tilt, so they were installed almost flat on the roof. A panel that was less than half as big, if it was pointed at the sun and could track the sun has the potential to put out an equal or greater charge as my flat panel array. The battery is most discharged first thing in the morning, thus the ideal would be to have the panels facing east as the sunrises. By the time my panels are ready to kick out the amps, the battery is nearing full.
Typical advice would be that panels should be pointed south, not east, and this would have been my advice, but it is not true. East, first thing in the morning is best for the battery. Tracking is great, but not really necessary. Tracking doesn’t matter to maximize the output of the panel — if the battery is nearly full. Screen capture at one pm. Ideal sun angle, battery almost full.
All lead-acid batteries love to be full. The opposite is also true; all lead-acid batteries hate being emptied, even a little bit. All lead-acid batteries are damaged by emptying and leaving them empty for any periods, longer than a day. This is a problem for solar on an RV because all lead-acid batteries are very resistant to getting full. Charge profiles meant to prolong the life of lead-acid batteries, reduce the amperage at the end of the charge cycle. The last ten percent of a charge takes as long as the first forty percent. (my guess based on my observations)
My design goal was to reduce my interaction with the system down to watching it work. This is why my panels were mounted flat on the roof. This should explain partially my previous statement that most of the potential energy that could be produced is wasted.
RV Solar Series: How much solar did we need? I hope I got the answer right one of my design goals was that if 700 watts of solar installed flat, (700 installed) isn’t enough, then we can expand easily to recharge our battery and live daily.
Update: July 21, 2020, Our needs changed drastically with our new RV this post is an update on how we are charging our new battery system without solar. Electricity the Hard Way
Update: August 29, 2020, All summer we proved we could camp without electrical hookups. Here is that story. Boondocking Without Solar
Update: September 15, 2020, Why just design for minimum needs. Could I run the air conditioner from the battery and replace the energy used by the Air Conditioner using a big solar array. Here is an analysis and test about that subject. Air Conditioning on Batteries and Solar
Update: January 23, 2021, Our long desired solar array is being installed. Here is the story. Zamp Obsidian Solar Install

There is little doubt Nevada has taken over as the top trust jurisdiction in the United States. For years the estate planning community has looked to states like Delaware and Alaska for their favorable tax and asset protection laws. Not anymore. The top estate planners in the country are increasingly using Nevada as their preferred out of state trust jurisdiction for high net worth clients and their families.
Nevada enacted its domestic asset protection statute in 1999. A Nevada asset protection trust (NAPT) is an irrevocable trust in which the creator of the trust is also a permissible beneficiary. Two years after the creator transfers a portion of their assets to the trust, those assets should be protected from all creditor claims. A Nevada asset protection trust is a vehicle to protect assets from creditor claims which are becoming more prevalent in our highly litigious society.
Nevada is unique with one of the shortest statutes of limitations, with most domestic asset protection trust states having a four-year statute. Nevada is also one of only two states that have no exception creditors. These are creditors that can pierce the trust irrespective of a state's statute. Nevada has none. Sixteen of the nineteen domestic asset protection trust states have exception creditors, including a divorcing spouse for child support and alimony, in addition to other potential creditors.
Nevada does not have a state income tax. Therefore, a trust sitused in Nevada will be responsible for filing a federal income tax return, but there is no corresponding Nevada tax or filing. Investable assets held inside a Nevada trust can compound substantially without having to pay state income taxes. To learn more about which states are most tax-friendly for the wealthy, read the recent USA Today article posted in January 2020: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/01/29/the-most-tax-friendly-states-for-the-rich/41060485/
A directed trust allows for the separation of a trustee's roles among multiple parties. The old traditional trust had one trustee responsible for the investment, distribution, and administration of a trust. A handful of states have enacted directed trust statutes which allow the investment and distribution functions to be handled by a family member, friend, or other trusted advisor while leaving the administrative functions to a corporate trustee.
The unbundling of trustee services gives trust grantors, beneficiaries, and their professional advisors more control over a client’s estate plan. Clients prefer the separation of duties, flat trustee fees, and the greater flexibility of a directed trust arrangement.
Decanting is the act of pouring assets from an old trust to a new trust with more favorable terms. For years estate planners struggled with the simple fact that irrevocable trusts were irrevocable and could not be changed. Nevada's decanting statute allows for the modification of an irrevocable trust to address changes in trust law and dynamics within families that could not have been predicted. Some of the most commons reasons to decant are to change drafting errors, trustee provisions, distribution standards, and governing law.
The length of time a trust can last is dependent on the state’s "Rule Against Perpetuities." In 2005, Nevada's laws were amended to allow a trust to last for 365 years. This means a trust in Nevada can last for 365 years without the trust assets being subjected to an estate tax levied at each generation. The current estate tax exemption for 2020 is $11.58M for an individual and $23.16M for a married couple. Any amount over these thresholds is subject to an estate tax of 40%. These current estate tax exemption amounts push Dynasty Trusts down to #5 on our list of why Nevada is the #1 state for trusts. One thing we do know about estate taxes is they are subject to change. If the estate tax exemptions are lowered through sunset of the current law, or through a change in administration, the Dynasty Trust would move up in the ranking of why Nevada is the #1 state for trusts.

The subscript in word language rarely used, but are very common in scientific, as used in chemical or mathematical formulas. For example, the formula of water is H 2 O. That is a subscript (a letter at a lower height in a text).
The superscripts (letters at a height above) arise when you want to put an ad to sell a house or rent a room, for example. They are used to quote the square meters of a surface. Something like, ” This floor is 90 m 2 “.
If you are a student or work in certain professions, from chemist to notary, you will use them often. And here the question arises: How do you put a subscript and a superscript in Microsoft Word? The truth is that it is very simple, but since we use it little, we tend to forget it. We are going to show you how to put a subscript (or superscript) in Word.
Please note that keyboard shortcuts do not work with online versions of Word.
To put a superscript in Word, type the word in the usual way. For example m2. Select the character or characters you want to change, and press CTRL and +. Note that this is the plus symbol to the left of the Enter / Enter / Enter key, on the standard keyboard, not the numeric key. It will look like this:
Subscript in Word
To put a subscript in Word, type the word in the usual way. For example H2O. Highlight the character or characters you want to change, and press CTRL, Shift, and 0. It is the zero of the standard keyboard, not the numeric one. It will look like this:
Depending on the version of Word you have if the first option doesn’t work, try CTRL and =. If you still do not get it, then we explain the final method.
Access from menus
Depending on the version of Word and the language of Windows or the keyboard you have, the key combinations may not work. In that case, the most practical thing is to use the menus.
Type the word that contains the subscript or superscript in standard form, and highlight the letter you want to change. In older versions of Word, go to the Format menu and go to Font. In the modern ones, look for the tool ribbon, enter the Home, Format, and Font tab.
Inside Font are the Subscript and Superscript icons. Press one or the other as you need:

U.S. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo named two areas in which cooperation is possible between Russia and the United States. According to Pompeo, the two countries can help each other in combating the pandemic coronavirus COVID-19 and terrorism.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner Secretary of state Pompeo reminded that President Donald trump after a conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin decided to send in the RF tests on the virus and the ventilator.
Pompeo Also praised relations between Russia and the US through special services, RIA Novosti reported.
“They saved American lives, by providing us with information. We helped them prevent the terrorist attack, which was planned in Saint-Petersburg,” said Pompeo.
In conclusion, Pompeo said that “cooperating with the Russians on these issues,” Americans can “clarify expectations”.
