History’s Most Notorious Casino Scams
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The question should actually be “do casinos cheat?” Every casino has a built-in advantage on its games, referred to as the house edge. It represents the percentage of the player’s bet kept by the casino as a profit on average over the long term. Casinos actually “win” because the odds are stacked in their favor.
Other than that, reputable casinos have no reason to cheat. Regardless of the way games are set up, the casinos are already guaranteed profits, by simply paying less than what the bet is really worth. This practice could hardly be classified as a casino scam – at best, it could be called unfair.
If you consider gambling an alternative way to generate extra money, you should think twice before exchanging your money for chips, and thus selling away your only advantage over the casino. True, casinos can offer lots of fun and great shows (even fake casinos with no license and obscure game selections), but in the long run, you’re more than likely to lose to the house.
In casino cheating, slot machines have widely been considered a tough nut to crack, but a few sharp-witted scammers have succeeded in beating the machine. Tommy Glenn Carmichael with his infamous “light wand” and Dennis Nikrasch – who robbed about $16 million from several casinos in Las Vegas- are two examples of this.
The Roselli Brothers are widely considered the biggest and most successful casino scammers ever, mostly because the authorities never actually caught them and their identity remained a secret. They pulled off the mother of all casino scams by stealing people’s identities, which helped them take $40 million.

We’ve been working hard over the last few weeks to get a bunch of videos uploaded onto our YouTube page. Recently, we have added some of the most interesting portions of our “What’s The Future For Musicians” free seminars that were held in upstate New York this past spring. Also available are some clips from our DC Policy Summits, as well as other events that we’ve held over the past few years.
These clips are a great way to learn about some of the most important issues facing musicians including net neutrality, health insurance, and the digital marketplace. We encourage you to watch, especially if you couldn’t make our most recent events (you should really try to attend; our events are awesome). read more

No change. The whole Dodge/Fatigue concept has been around since the beginning. I just haven't mentioned it in a while. Been too busy working on smaller design projects.

"Supernumerary rainbows only form when falling water droplets are all nearly the same size and typically less than a millimeter across. Then, sunlight will not only reflect from inside the raindrops, but interfere, a wave phenomenon similar to ripples on a pond when a stone is thrown in. In fact, supernumerary rainbows can only be explained with waves, and their noted existence in the early 1800s was considered early evidence of light's wave nature."
Not to be confused with airglow ripples:
"The unusual pattern is created by atmospheric gravity waves, waves of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90-kilometers up. Unlike auroras powered by collisions with energetic charged particles and seen at high latitudes, airglow is due to chemiluminescence, the production of light in a chemical reaction. More typically seen near the horizon, airglow keeps the night sky from ever being completely dark."
Wow, that has got to be the largest number of supernumerary bows I've ever seen. Also interesting to note is how their distance to the main bow isn't constant: they are packed closer together near the bottom and further apart as you go up. If I understand this graphic correctly, that means the size of the water droplets near the ground than was larger than those higher up in the air. What is more, the supernumerary closest to the main bow gradually creates a gap large enough for a new supernumerary to appear about 2/3 up. Quite an exceptional picture.ReplyDelete
I don't think the photo is showing super numerary rainbows. In my experience those usually lack reds and yellows and are more parallelReplyDelete
You might drop a note to NASA, who are responsible for the Astronomy Photo of the Day series. I am sure they would appreciate being informed of any errors they have made.Delete

Midwestern State Tames TAMUK Javelinas, Win 83-62
The Midwestern State men's basketball team was on a mission to get back on the winning track after suffering back to back losses. Their mission was accomplished when they defeated the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Javelinas 83-62 at Ligon Coliseum.
The Mustangs (12-6, 4-2) set out to play cleaner defense, knowing that fewer defensive fouls and more rebounds could open up opportunities for the offense. MSU did just that, sending Kingsville (6-12, 1-5) to the FT line just 3 times in the first half while grabbing 16 boards. MSU took a 42-35 edge into the half.
"Our bigs are getting better at challenging our opponents without fouling," said MSU head coach Nelson Haggerty. "That kind of aggressive play is really spurring on our offense."
The second half is where the Mustangs galloped away from the Javelinas. The half opened with a Xavier Blackburn three pointer that stretched MSU's lead to ten points. The Mustang defense got stronger as well, swatting 5 second half Kingsville shots.
All of the offensive opportunities that were provided by the defense were not taken for granted. Midwestern shot a solid 48.1% from the floor during the second frame as well as getting to the FT line 14 times, connecting on 11 of those attempts.
"We shot all of the right ones tonight," Haggerty said about the Mustang offense. "We were making plays for each other all night. The low number of turnovers and good rebounding opened up our offensive game."
MSU has a week off before hosting the Cameron Aggies on Gerald Stockton Court. That game will tip-off at 4:30pm on Saturday, February 1. The MSU women's game will follow after the men's contest.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- Students at Mobile's Murphy High School will be attending class at another site because of the Christmas tornado that heavily damaged their school.
Students from Murphy will transfer to Clark Shaw Magnet School when classes resume after the holidays.
Murphy's enrollment is about 2,000 students, and Clark Shaw already has 750 students. But officials say it can accommodate more than 1,200 students, and 50 trailers will be brought in for use as portable classrooms.
Mobile school superintendent Martha Peek says students from Clark Shaw will return to school as normal after the break, and Murphy students will begin the following week on a staggered schedule.
Damage to Murphy High is being estimated at as much as $10 million. The school dates to the 1920s and was once Alabama's largest.

NYT: FBI agent involved in Petraeus case pursued it because of his “worldview”
posted at 10:34 am on November 13, 2012 by Allahpundit
Ms. Kelley, a volunteer with wounded veterans and military families, brought her complaint to a rank-and-file agent she knew from a previous encounter with the F.B.I. office, the official also said. That agent, who had previously pursued a friendship with Ms. Kelley and had earlier sent her shirtless photographs of himself, was “just a conduit” for the complaint, he said. He had no training in cybercrime, was not part of the cyber squad handling the case and was never assigned to the investigation.
But the agent, who was not identified, continued to “nose around” about the case, and eventually his superiors “told him to stay the hell away from it, and he was not invited to briefings,” the official said. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Monday night that the agent had been barred from the case.
Later, the agent became convinced — incorrectly, the official said — that the case had stalled. Because of his “worldview,” as the official put it, he suspected a politically motivated cover-up to protect President Obama.
The impression I got from last night’s Journal piece was that the FBI agent had become obsessed with Kelley and ended up sending her shirtless photos of himself after the investigation had begun. In other words, he was letting his supposed attraction to her interfere with his professional duties in handling the case. This NYT piece makes it sound like something different: The shirtless pics happened before any of this came out, then later Kelley sought him out for help once she started getting e-mails from Broadwell. It was his anti-Obama politics, if the sources here are to be believed, that led him to pursue the case, not any alleged infatuation with Kelley. He was obsessed, it seems, with the possibility of a cover up, not so much with her.
Which is not to say the two are mutually exclusive. Maybe he had a thing for her and wanted to impress her by pursuing the investigation and suspected a cover-up to protect O. But Mollie Hemingway asks a good question: Why are we getting two different versions of what this guy’s core motive was? Is someone retaliating against him by trying to ruin his reputation?

Ex-NFL Player Faces 2 Felony Charges After Alleged Domestic Violence
In mid-November 2021, former Vanderbilt and NFL running back Zac Stacy was arrested on charges of domestic battery and criminal mischief after security cameras caught him beating the mother of his child. Stacy turned himself in, and was able to post bail after being charged. As of this writing, he remains free, but the judge ruled that he cannot remain in Florida during the case, citing the alleged victim’s fear. The ultimate outcome of the case remains in doubt as of this writing, but there are still lessons to be learned from Stacy’s behavior and the charges against him.
Standard Restrictions Against The Defendant
As with any other domestic violence defendant, Stacy faced restrictions on his movement and property rights, being asked to surrender his passport and any firearms in his possession upon attending his first hearing. The judge declared that he would neither raise Stacy’s bond nor force him to wear an ankle monitor, saying it was “prohibited” in the Ninth Judicial Circuit, but he did order Stacy to remain outside Florida unless attending court, and to avoid all contact with his son’s mother, though an official domestic violence injunction was not entered against him.
While normally, alleged domestic violence offenders are not required to vacate an entire state, it is quite common to require the alleged offender to vacate the marital home or any other place where they could have contact with the victim until the case has been decided. Requesting they surrender their firearms is also standard procedure. Injunctions against domestic violence are issued if a victim cites a demonstrable fear for their own safety, and Stacy’s alleged victim cited significant fear.
Was Stacy’s Crime Actually Domestic Violence?
In Florida, domestic violence is a label applied to any crime that causes physical injury or death to a “family or household member,” perpetrated by another family or household member. The latter is specifically defined to include not only current spouses, but also former spouses, people related by blood or marriage, people who are or have resided together as a family, and co-parents of a child. The law also requires that in order for an alleged crime to count as domestic violence, the perpetrator and victim must live together – unless you are co-parents.
While the press does not report that the mother of Stacy’s son sustained demonstrable physical injury, Stacy did allegedly commit a crime (aggravated assault) against her, and the two have a child in common. Since co-parents do not have to live together in order for a crime to be counted as domestic violence, it is reasonable to assume that if Stacy’s alleged victim did suffer physical injury, Stacy did allegedly commit domestic violence. What this means is that if he is convicted, Stacy may face a stiffer sentence – domestic violence is seen as a sentencing enhancement of sorts in Florida, rather than as a specific crime of its own.
Contact A West Palm Beach Domestic Violence Attorney
While as of this writing, no further hearings have taken place in the Stacy matter, there are still lessons to be learned from what has happened as of now. If you have questions or concerns about your own domestic violence matter, calling a West Palm Beach criminal attorney from Perlet, Shiner, Melchiorre & Walsh, P.A. can help to get them managed. Contact our offices today to speak to an attorney.

After months of the feds doing everything they could to distance themselves from the origin and launch of the controversial Common Core State Standards, or CCSS, more and more of Washington’s tentacles are surfacing through public rage, implementation revelations and the White House’s own foot-in-mouth disease.
After the U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan cast bigoted blame on “white suburban moms” for nationwide resistance to CCSS – an oops from which he’s still reeling in public humiliation and maternal fury, White House spokesman Jay Carney dodged Duncan’s bullets by claiming ignorance to his statements. But then Carney buried the White House in federal ownership of CCSS by saying, “I can just tell you that the secretary of education and everybody on the president’s team dedicated to this effort is focused on making sure that we do everything we can, working with states and others …”
“Everybody on the president’s team dedicated to this effort … [is doing] everything we can”?
Thanks, Carney. It’s about time the feds ponied up to their place on the CCSS playground.
In Part 1 of my series on CCSS, I revealed how the feds spent $350 million of taxpayers’ money, funding and giving grants and waivers to muscle and bribe states and local school districts to accept CCSS.
In Part 2, I showed how feds are injecting their progressive agenda into curricula taught to U.S. kids in elementary, middle and high schools via their influence in standard directives and posting educative minions in academic arenas and among CCSS curricula creators.
Today, I will begin to give you the third evidence for the feds’ collaborations and entanglements within CCSS: namely, that they are creating and expanding a national database to store, access and peddle your kids’ private information obtained through a technological project within CCSS.
Sound crazy or like sci-fi socialism? Maybe, but it’s all real, true and coming soon to a school near you, if it isn’t there already.
It all started in the third month of Obama’s reign in 2009, when the U.S. Department of Education initiated the “State Fiscal Stabilization Fund,” which – under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – awarded or bribed “governors approximately $48.6 billion … in exchange for a commitment to advance essential education reforms … including: college- and career-ready standards [aka CCSS] …”
Under that umbrella, the feds further bribed the states into building and expanding longitudinal data systems, or LDS, “to capture, analyze, and use student data from preschool to high school, college, and the workforce.”
Robert Swiggum, Georgia state department’s chief information officer, explained that the longitudinal data systems “collects data points in about 10 categories …[which] include: a student’s name, grade, gender, ethnicity, birth date, attendance, enrollment history, test scores, courses taken and grade received, and any subgroup (example: English language learner, retained, economically disadvantaged).” To which PolitiFact added, “Each of the categories has dozens of data points that can vary …” Bottom line, lots of personal information.
In a White House press release dated Jan. 19, 2010, President Obama and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan stated the purpose for expanding the LDS was to make the massive amount of information “more accessible … to key stakeholders.”
Wondering who “key stakeholders” include? Let’s just say I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a 2012 White House budget sheet for the U.S. Department of Labor (available on WhiteHouse.gov) also mentions grants they are offering to expand the workforce information side of the LDS coin. Their grants “support the development of longitudinal data systems that integrate education and workforce data to provide timely and accessible information to consumers, policy makers and others.”
Did you catch that? “To consumers, policy makers, and others”? And what or – more appropriately – whose information are they providing (or peddling)? So much for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, the federal law established to protect the privacy interests of students. I guess the U.S. Department of Education, which maintains FERPA, decided it really liked the statement in it: “Schools may disclose, without consent, ‘directory’ information such as a student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance,” etc.
Turner Nolt with the Georgia Education Department explained to PolitiFact that the data in the state’s longitudinal data system is now computerized, but the students’ information is “not shared beyond the student’s teachers and school administrators.” He needs to add the word “yet.”
Don’t ever forget the White House’s words in its own memos: for “key stakeholders,” who at very least include – but are not exclusive to – “consumers, policy makers and others.” And guess who gets to define “others”? (Now you’re getting the picture!)
You don’t think the feds gave away billions of federal taxpayers’ dollars to states, school districts and public schools without expecting anything in return or being left out of the informational mix, did you? It’s one big, happy federal and state communication merry-go-round with your family’s private information from the school cradle to the federal grave!
(In Part 4, I will show further evidence from the feds themselves that the longitudinal data systems and new Common Core State Standards are intricately intertwined and going to be used by the federal and state governments to tap your children’s personal information and to leverage significant educational change.)

“Humanitarian assistance beats sanctions and war any day, and certainly during a pandemic threat.”Murad Qureshi – Chair, Stop the War Coalition.
The COVID-19 virus has had an unprecedented effect on the entire world, and some of the places where its effects will be felt the most are countries that have suffered at the hands of US and UK illegal wars in recent decades, and places that are currently suffering under sanctions from the Trump administration in the US.
These sanctions are often aimed at ‘regime change,’ and hit ordinary people in these countries whatever their political views. Many of these sanctions are incompatible with international law and the UN Charter, and are even greater crimes at this dangerous time.
In particular, under Trump the U.S. continues to impose unilateral coercive measures (“sanctions”) on one-third of the globe’s population in 39 countries and has refused to lift the measures during this worldwide health crisis. This is exacerbating the pandemic, and therefore risks prolonging it for all countries, including the US and here in the UK.
One country that is currently being ravaged by the virus is Iran, and at the time of writing the country has one of the highest number of cases anywhere in the world.
Millions in Iran are likely to die, not just because of the virus but also because US imposed sanctions are preventing countless innocent people from accessing vital medical care. The simple truth is that US economic sanctions against Iran since Trump threw out the Iran Nuclear Deal are costing lives as critical medical supplies are not getting through.
This is a global epidemic and the Iranian people should not be left to suffer alone. Medical supplies must be sent as a matter of urgency and sanctions lifted.
The Trump Administration is also putting its own desire for ‘regime change’ ahead of humanitarian and health concerns elsewhere.
US sanctions against Venezuela (now amounting to a Cuba-style illegal blockade) have actually been strengthened in recent weeks, even though coronavirus has now reached the country.
Additionally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – no doubt under pressure from Trump – has rejected Venezuela’s Emergency Fund Appeal for $5 billion loan to tackle the coronavirus pandemic from the emergency fund of the Rapid Financing Instrument to help combat COVID-19 in Venezuela.
This is despite the fact that the fund was set up precisely to respond to the current global pandemic and Venezuela is a member of the IMF.
Within Latin America and beyond, there is understandably great concern that this decision was influenced by the Trump administration’s pursuit of illegal ‘regime change’ in Venezuela.
The combination of this decision and will deny the country vital health supplies, hit ordinary Venezuelans the most, and lead to innocent lives being lost.
On paper, the unilateral U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela say that medical supplies are exempt. But this is nothing more than an illusion. The sanctions mean that neither Iran nor Venezuela can realistically buy medical supplies, nor can they transport it into their countries.
Rather than jump to Trump’s tune, the UK government should join the EU, UN spokespeople including its General Secretary and others in putting pressure on the US to end its policy of sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. Despite any differences our countries may have we would do all that we can to ensure that basic humanitarian needs of people all around the world are met.
It’s also important for the Left to point out that there is of course though another way that puts people and health first – and that is the way of international solidarity and support. As Jeremy Corbyn said in his last speech in Parliament as Labour leader, Cuban assistance to Italy can show you what can still be done in spite of decades of the US blockade.
Humanitarian assistance beats sanctions and war any day and certainly during a pandemic threat.

James Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland
A 535-acre estate, Ash Lawn-Highland was the Monroes’ primary residence from 1799 until 1823. The original Monroe house features tours and exhibits on early nineteenth-century culture. Plantation life is explored through the original smokehouse and overseer’s house, at the reconstructed slave quarters, and in the fields, where cattle and sheep graze and peacocks roam.
(Ash Lawn-Highland Marker)
Ash Lawn-Highland became the home of James Monroe about fifteen years after the end of the Revolutionary War. He moved here to be closer to his friend and mentor, Thomas Jefferson. The home, which originally faced Monticello, was remodeled by a later owner. Monroe’s original home now faces a courtyard behind a two-story addition.
Today, the home is owned and operated by the College of William and Mary (an upcoming site on this road trip). Both Jefferson and Monroe studied at the college prior to the Revolutionary War.
Tours of the home are led by college staff members. The tour starts with a discussion of the famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze. Like most artists, Leutze took liberties in the painting. He painted Washington and Monroe standing in the boat with Monroe clutching a “Betsy Ross” flag that still had several months before coming into existence. Also missing from the painting is the driving snowstorm that took place that evening.
After the Delaware crossing, Monroe led a charge against the Hessian troops stationed in Trenton. Besides surviving wounds received during the charge, Monroe also wintered at Valley Forge. After the war, Monroe served Virginia and the United States in several capacities, including US Senator, foreign minister, Secretary of State during the War of 1812 under President James Madison and fifth President of the United States from 1817-1825.
The house is filled with objects that James Monroe collected during his public service, including many while he was a Minister of France, England and Spain. Also among the collection are many gifts he received during his service.
Three Friends, Three Presidents
Three of the first five Presidents of the United States made their homes in central Virginia. Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland are just outside Charlottesville. James Madison’s Montpelier stands in neighboring Orange County. During Jefferson’s Presidency, Madison served as Secretary of State while Monroe negotiated the Louisiana Purchase as Minister to France. Under Madison, Monroe served as Secretary of State and Secretary of War. Like their political lives, these men’s social and personal lives were intertwined. Jefferson hoped to surround himself with his friends in central Virginia. Madison and Monroe were the core of Jefferson’s “society to our taste.”

Edmond “Clyde” Gates showed up for Abilene Christian’s Pro Day on Thursday to support his former teammates. Gates said it brought back memories of his Pro Day on the same Wally Bullington Practice Facility in 2011.
“Fond memories,” he said. “There were scouts from a lot of teams out there, and I was just trying to have fun with my teammates. I had a lot of teammates that came out that year.”
Gates was taken by the Miami Dolphins in the fourth round of the 2011 draft. He was the 111th pick overall. He played in 15 games with the Dolphins in 2011, making two catches for 19 yards. He also returned 34 kickoffs for a 24.8 average, while averaging 10.7 yards on three punt returns.
However, the Dolphins, under then first-year coach Joe Philbin, released him just before the regular season began last year.
“I don’t have anything against the Dolphins,” Gates said. “They did what they did. I don’t fault them for it. It’s part of the business. I’m a man. I’m still able to stand firm and accept what happened and move on. You have to bounce back, and once you bounce back, you don’t have to go back down that road I went down in that situation.”
Gates was reunited with Tony Sparano, the Dolphins’ head coach in 2011, when the Jets signed Gates last September. Sparano is the offensive coordinator for the Jets. It ended up being a good situation for Gates, who caught 16 passes for 244 yards in 11 games with the Jets, including two starts.
Gates said he’s looking forward to going to camp with the Jets this year.
“I have high expectations on myself,” he said. “I’m going into camp with the killer instinct mentality. I’m going to go into camp and do what I’m asked to do and make the most of it, go from there.”
He said he’s happy to do whatever job the Jets want him to do.
“You’ve got to prove yourself,” he said. “But the main thing is staying on task and doing what you’re asked to do, whether it’s being a receiver or playing special teams. You just have to go out and execute. I have to prove myself, but you have to prove yourself every day in that league. That’s just natural.”
And he’s learned to never get comfortable.
“You just can’t get comfortable anywhere in that league, but I feel good about my situation. I won’t let up. I won’t let off the gas.”
Gates didn’t know what the reality of playing in the NFL was like when he participated in ACU’s Pro Day in 2011. Now, he knows the important thing is to have fun — just like he did in college.
“I think you should go into it with the idea of having fun, doing what you love to do and get paid for it,” he said. “That’s where some people miss out on it — not having fun.”

Cast out of Eden and separated from the boy she dared to love, Allie will follow the call of blood to save her creator, Kanin, from the psychotic vampire Sarren.

Reviews for The Eternity Cure
A vampire world with the most chilling and delicious post-apocalyptic feel about it!
THE ETERNITY CURE was a sequel I wasn't sure I would read too soon after the first book. I saw the book on Netgalley and like any other book addict couldn't resist to request it. It took me some time to finish THE IMMORTAL RULES and the second book was just as thick. As I had predicted the story was more on the slow side in the beginning. Allison Sekemoto is wandering around, searching for her sire Kanin. I felt like I was looking for something as well during that first third of the story and Allison's restlessness and her desire to make progress were passed on to me. When things finally started to get under way I noticed fast that THE ETERNITY CURE was a sequel that for once would bring the story forward and not just step on the same spot most of the time.
Allison is joined by a familiar face known from THE IMMORTAL RULES, who appears as an unknown ally. Their constant quarreling adds a new zappiness and snark to our dismal journey through deserted planes and crumbling cities. But Allison isn't the only one searching for someone. Guess who else joins their group? A certain fair-haired boy with the warmest and kindest heart. Yes, Zeke! His and Allison's romantic feelings for each other are another puzzle they're trying to figure out on their way to finding a cure. I think I liked their moments and love story in THE ETERNITY CURE even better than in the first book, because a greater development becomes apparent.
This books' title is its subject, too. Allison and her new ally - one that will certainly surprise and amuse you - are hunting psycho vampire Sarren who is holding Kanin hostage. They are also searching for a cure to the disastrous virus that's threating to destroy both humans and vampires. Theories and possible solutions are discussed and old abandoned labs explored. Julie's BLOOD OF EDEN series is the first series centering around a deadly virus that I actually felt drawn to.
THE ETERNITY CURE promised hope, but is an even darker read than THE IMMORTAL RULES, full of atmosphere. It's a mix between dystopian and horror, vampires and zombies (just thinking about the manic rabids makes me shudder). This is probably no book for a queasy stomach and there will be a lot of fighting. It contains various descriptive scenes of macabre, violent and pretty bloody nature.
4/5 **** THE ETERNITY CURE – A vampire world with the most chilling and delicious post-apocalyptic feel about it!
Allison isn't new to the vamp business anymore. As she gains more experience and strength, she as a character very much grew on me, too. With an honorable goal in mind Allison is embarking on a gripping and, most important, life-saving quest that will lead readers through many states of emotions, varying from bright hope to deepest despair. Be warned, this book ends with a mean cliffhanger! by MissPageTurner

TechnoServe is an international nonprofit that works in roughly 30 developing countries to promote business solutions to poverty, such as strengthening market connections and growing small businesses. As a Fellow I was based in their Ethiopia office for nearly six months between October 2017 and March 2018, working on a project in consortium with three other NGOs (Save the Children, MercyCorps, and SNV). I had the pleasure of being the only American expat on a collaborative team of eight locals from these organizations.
My project was called, “Livelihood Improvement for Women and Youth,” and was the design phase of a five-year initiative aimed to improve incomes of 200,000 poor women and youth in the capital city of Addis Ababa. Over the course of my time there we built our strategy from the ground up. This included:
- Assessing which sectors in the city would be most feasible for us to make an impact on our beneficiaries
- Designing a portfolio of interventions to reduce constraints for our beneficiaries in the microenterprise, labor matching, and manufacturing sectors
- Identifying potential partners to collaborate with to ensure the sustainability of our interventions and using a market facilitation approach
- Developing a high-level five-year implementation plan and starting the ball rolling on pilots across each sector
One of the most rewarding parts of the experience was being able to apply my consulting skillsets to a completely new type of engagement and context. Although I didn’t have any background in international development or with Ethiopia specifically, I was able to add unique leverage and lead my team through problem structuring, team coordination/organization, and my technical toolkit. Meanwhile, I learned so much from my team about the local environment and drew on the expertise of each of their home organizations.
I loved being out in the city, speaking with people about the barriers to higher incomes among Ethiopians. These interviewees ranged from stakeholders (government officials, other NGOs), to potential partners (startup incubators, employment agencies), to our beneficiaries (job seekers, microentrepreneurs). This absolutely brought the project to life for me.
When I signed up to do the fellowship I knew the work would be interesting and fulfilling, but I never imagined how quickly I would form a community with my team, locals, and other expats there. I left Ethiopia with rich memories of cooking Ethiopian food at my colleagues’ homes, seeing stunning landscapes in the countryside, and developing a deeper understanding of the local history and culture. I’m a huge supporter of the Nonprofit Fellowship program at Oliver Wyman and highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it!
This story and others like it appear in the Oliver Wyman for Society Annual Social Impact 2018 Report.

A recent article profiling Ohio's public-employee pension funds missed the mark. Most people fail to realize that teachers do not get Social Security benefits in retirement, unlike nearly every other American. So while the private sector pays into Social Security, school districts and teachers instead pay into the State Teachers Retirement System pension fund.
The defined-benefit pension fund is the best deal for Ohio taxpayers.
Private-sector employers pay 16.75 percent and employees pay 10.55 percent for both Social Security benefits and health insurance. STRS receives 14 percent from employers (a rate that has not increased in 25 years) and 10 percent from employees to fund both pension benefits and health insurance for retirees.
This simple math indicates that the pension structure saves school districts millions of dollars while providing better benefits for employees.
Pension benefits help support our local economy. In 2006, more than 357,000 Ohio resi-
dents received a total of
$8.41 billion in pension benefits from state and local pension plans. According to a study by the National Institute on Retirement Security, every dollar paid to a retiree in benefits returns $1.33 to the Ohio economy as those retirees spend that money in our communities.
If Ohio joined other states that do not tax teachers' retirement incomes, the $8.41 million would increase as retired teachers would likely flock to the Buckeye State.
The STRS pension fund is well-managed and sustainable.
In the final analysis, public pensions save taxpayers money and strengthen the state's economy.

Sunday Apr 02, 2023
Céline Dion celebrated her milestone 55th birthday on March 30 (Thursday). The Canadian legend thanked fans for the immense love she received on her big day and made her day a special occasion.
For the unversed, Dion has kept a low profile ever since she revealed she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in December.
The singer has chosen to stay home and regain her strength. Amid her health condition, Dion’s team shared a message on her birthday on Instagram.
“On this very special day, we’d like to wish you, dear Celine, a very happy 55th birthday!,” the message read, accompanying a video montage of highlights from her career.
“To all of you fans who would like to leave a message for Celine on this occasion, please do so by posting your video or picture on your Instagram, Twitter or TikTok account using the hashtag #LetsTalkAboutLove25 so we can add it to the message board: messagesfor.celinedion.com,” the post concluded.
Dion, later, responded to fans’ love via an Instagram Story. She wrote, “I felt this giant wave of love, thanks to everyone for the birthday messages!”
She also repeated the message in French.
Dion’s Love Again co-stars Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra also wished her on her birthday.

AmeriCorps Manual Main Page
Based on a state or organization's risk-based monitoring strategy, a programmatic site visit may be made to every grantee or site one time per grant cycle, one time per year, or more often as may be appropriate.
Typical site visit activities include the following:
||AmeriCorps Program/Site Director|
|Member File Checks (other types of files?)
||AmeriCorps Program/Site Director|
|Multi-Site Observation of Member Activities
||Site Supervisor, AmeriCorps Members|
|Mid Year/Close-Out Interview
||AmeriCorps Program/Site Director and Staff|
All AmeriCorps programs will receive a monitoring site visit during each program year. The purpose of the visit is to assess the program's compliance with federal regulations and to help the program improve systems to pass a formula OIG audit. Member
files, program policies and fiscal records will be reviewed during the visit. The AmeriCorps Program Review Instrument will be used to assess program compliance. (Please see AmeriCorps Program Review Instrument at the end of this chapter).
The results of the visit will be reviewed with program staff at the end of the day. The site visit feedback letter sent to the program should include only those issues discussed during the visit.
The modules of the AmeriCorps Program Review Instrument to be completed are as follows:
Reporting and Communication Compliance and Early Issue Detection
This Module will be completed before the visit. Results will be reviewed with the program and important issues or concerns will be discussed. A program may only receive a "Yes - Appears OK" rating if it has been in compliance with the item being
reviewed 100% of the time. Programs that are not performing in this area must show improvement and demonstrate a commitment to improving. Any concerns in this area will be addressed in the site visit feedback letter and a corrective action plan to
improve future performance will be required.
The majority of this module will be completed with the assistance of the program's fiscal staff, but some questions will most likely be answered by program staff. Programs should have copies of their expenditure forms and the Financial Status Reports
submitted via WBRS available for review. A copy of the program's original budget should also be available. In general, a program must have all required documentation for each item and every cost sampled to receive a "Yes - Appears OK" rating.
Policies and Procedures Compliance
All programs should be in compliance with all of these issues. Written documentation and/or proof of compliance is necessary in case of an audit and should be provided here. Programs should have written documentation readily accessible, such as
training agendas or memos. Programs must have written documentation to receive a "Yes - Appears OK" rating.
Member Documentation Compliance
Member files will be reviewed to determine if required documentation is being kept by the program. Program Officers will randomly select the member files to be reviewed. All member files reviewed must contain required documentation for a program to
receive a "Yes - Appears OK" rating. A program may receive a "Needs Improvement" rating if one file is missing required documentation. If more then one file is missing documentation, the program will receive a "Does Not Meet Requirement" rating. Programs
that do not meet a requirement must submit documentation showing full compliance and improve future performance to ensure continued funding.
*See attached file:
After the monitoring visit is complete, the Program Officer will provide written feedback relating to the review. It is expected that all programs will receive "acceptable" in all categories. The monitoring review will be used to determine if
additional site visits are necessary and may impact a program's renewal application and ability to access additional training funds.
* See attached file:

One of the things I love about driving cross country, particularly when I traverse the beautiful empty spaces of the American West, is the opportunity let me mind wander. I listen to books on CD, then sometimes pause the narrative to let my mind wander. This time, I brought along a digital recorder so I don’t have to risk losing my thought or unnecessarily slow by journey by pulling aside to record the idea a piece of paper.
And pausing from listening to the conclusion of a biography of Lincoln, William F. Buckley, Jr.’s reflections on the Reagan he knew, Tolkien’s recitation of some of his work and now a history of Washington’s crossing of the Delaware, I recorded notes about things to do, ideas for my dissertation, images for my fantasy epic and thoughts about politics.
And from those thoughts I may cull a few ideas for blog posts. One such thought (which I recall from memory not recording as my digital device is in the car) is how in various ways Obama supporters “repeat” his attempt to push one of his initiatives by waving his 2008 victory in their face by saying “I won” as if electoral victory should serve to ensure legislative victory, closing all debate.
We see this in the media incredulity at the protests against Obama’s big government initiatives and in the anger of left-wingers that conservatives refuse to let a Democratic victory silence them. And we see it on this blog in such comments as “The ‘national consensus’ on health care reform that you claim doesn’t exist is called the 2008 Presidential Election.” As if an election means a national consensus has been forged on all the issues the victorious candidate addressed in his campaign. (By that line of thought, there’s a national consensus for a “net spending cut”).
Do these people really assume that because Barack Obama won the presidential election he is entitled to see enacted whatever legislation he proposes? And that conservatives should just accept it because the candidate most of us supported and the party most of us backed lost last fall?
Now, as you consider this notion, please note the opening paragraphs to this post and the way I expressed it, as a question, not a conclusion. I put the idea out there for your consideration. And expressly included it in this blog’s Random Thoughts category.
*except when ginned up by Republicans and the evil corporate interests who back them.

Virtually everybody agrees that 2007 was a terrific year for movies. No matter. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will still hand over its statuettes to hearty feel-good blather and life-affirming gimps, while too many worthy films get doughnuted (or worse, a sound-mixing nod). As a preemptive strike to this wrongheadedness, we offer our ninth annual Alternative Oscars, celebrating last year's most relevant, astonishing, and overlooked achievements. Or whatever struck us as funny.
Best Failed Experiment: Grindhouse
Nobody, it seems, wanted to sit through two fake exploitation movies in a row, which is a shame, because they're both fantastic. Robert Rodriguez's zombie epic Planet Terror amounts to the best John Carpenter flick since 1982's The Thing, while Quentin Tarantino's neatly bifurcated Death Proof, with Kurt Russell as a homicidal stuntman, mows down audience identification like nothing since Hitchcock's Psycho. Both films are available separately on video (in needlessly extended versions), but they work much better in tandem -- Death Proof, in particular, needs to be the grimy second half of a double bill for full effect. And the phony trailers created by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and Eli Roth (Hostel) are more hilarious than anything on Funny or Die.
Best Proof That Cult Movies Are an Accident: Southland Tales
After seeing his first film, Donnie Darko, turn into a sensation on the midnight circuit following a stillborn initial release, Richard Kelly must have decided to skip the respectable phase and go straight for unhinged infamy. The result: a crass, overblown, painfully sophomoric exercise in apocalyptic sci-fi "comedy," populated largely by former SNL cast members (plus the Rock) mugging and twitching up a storm. Chockablock with empty, self-conscious literary and topical references, it unfolds as if Jeff Goldblum had attempted to transport a Pynchon novel across his lab but failed to notice that a battered VHS copy of Hudson Hawk had somehow gotten inside the telepod.
Best Gratuitous Nudity: Marisa Tomei, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Actresses tend to be more willing to get naked onscreen when they're young, unknown, and hungry. Lately, though, there's been an influx of long-established celebs who suddenly become allergic to clothes as they hit middle age and the ingenue roles start drying up: Meg Ryan (In the Cut), Jennifer Aniston (as close as she's ever come in The Break-Up), and now Tomei, who spends much of Sidney Lumet's heist-gone-wrong picture parading around topless for no particular reason. Not only does she look delectable at 43, but her casual exposure gives this contrived and glibly cynical film a disarming frankness that it desperately needs.
Best Film with a Pseudo-Philosophical Bullshit Ending: No Country for Old Men
Great movie, no question -- but while the deliberately unresolved and abruptly thoughtful denouement is bold and utterly faithful to Cormac McCarthy's novel, it simply doesn't work onscreen. That's not because we're all pathetic little children who need an explosive action climax and can't stomach ambiguity. It's because McCarthy interweaves Sheriff Ed Tom Bell's weary ruminations about the changing American landscape throughout the book, whereas the Coen brothers, who are clearly more interested in the niceties of retrieving a briefcase full of drug money from an adjoining hotel room's air duct than they are in grumpy interior monologues, have fashioned a brutally streamlined thriller that sets pulses racing for nearly two hours before finally making a Hail Mary bid for profundity: "P.S. Everything sucks now."
Best Documentary: My Kid Could Paint That
Any halfway sentient American is well aware that we've completely bungled Iraq and that our health-care system is a global embarrassment, so did we really need Charles Ferguson and Michael Moore to lay out those no-duh theses in excruciating detail? Meanwhile, the year's finest documentary, My Kid Could Paint That, about a four-year-old girl whose abstract art became a minor sensation, raises genuinely tough questions about the exploitation of children and the distinction between creativity and commodity. It was roundly ignored.
Most Missed Hollywood Practice: Dubbing movie stars in musicals
Back in the good old days, when studios were churning out musicals practically every other week, they'd simply hire whichever actor was best for the speaking part (and the box office) and then get somebody else -- usually Marni Nixon -- to do the singing, uncredited. Nowadays, however, no star wants to look like Milli Vanilli, and so we get Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter making Tim Burton's otherwise exceptional adaptation of Sweeney Todd play like community theater every time the orchestra kicks in. And it's not as if lip-synching can't be effective, either: Look at George Clooney belting out "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" in O Brother, Where Art Thou? (actual voice: Dan Tyminski) and tell me he doesn't convince.
Best Insane Opening Sequence: Tie -- Michael Clayton and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
It takes serious cojones to kick off a complex legal thriller with a lengthy monologue of paranoid gibberish spoken by a character (Tom Wilkinson's bipolar whistle-blower) who has yet to be introduced. As audacious as that move was, though, it was trumped by the Aqua Teen crew. Even if the TV show does nothing for you, rent the movie for its hilarious parody of "turn off your cell phone" theater ads, performed as a death-metal song by a band of pissed-off animated condiments. ("If I see you videotaping this movie, Satan will rain down your throat with hot acid and dissolve your testicles and turn your guts into snakes!")
Best Action Sequence in Which Almost Nothing Actually Happens: The Bourne Ultimatum
The third and best Bourne adventure includes a close-quarters fistfight and a car deliberately driven backward off the roof of a high building. But it's the high-tech CIA stakeout of London's Waterloo Station -- a sequence that mostly consists of Matt Damon's hyperalert Jason Bourne guiding a bewildered Guardian journalist (Paddy Considine), via cell phone, through a maze of covert-ops assassins and hidden surveillance cameras -- that truly jangles the nerves. Emphasizing the threat of danger from every direction and the need for not just eternal but downright obsessive vigilance, it's a sign of the way that even Hollywood blockbusters are gradually shifting to reflect America's increasingly paranoid landscape.

While these models are simple, the equations employed to describe the respective phenomena of interest can be implemented in 3-dimensional models with more complex geometries. The different physics interfaces can in principle also be coupled and solved for within the same model — for example the coupling of fluid flow with heat transfer or matrix poroelasticity can provide insights valuable for field operations.
The embedded figures and movie were created with COMSOL.
COMSOL’s Application Gallery provides alternate examples created with the Subsurface Flow Module.
Water is injected into a sandstone aquifer through a gravel-packed, cased and perforated vertical well. The inertial effects for flow through the gravel pack are considered, and they are shown to become significant through the perforation tunnels at higher injection rates.
This model also highlights the flow rate distribution among individual perforation tunnels, as well as vertical pressure profiles in the vicinity of the wellbore.
The featured capabilities can be used to understand details of the flow near the wellbore-reservoir interface, and can also assist with well log analysis (whether for injection or production).
This example showcases capabilities relevant for downhole temperature and pressure monitoring. It builds on the model above, by extending its scope to describe thermal effects as well. The whole system is initially in thermal equilibrium, at the aquifer’s temperature and pressure. Water injection then begins, at constant pressure and with a lower fluid temperature. The transient temperature distribution is monitored throughout the reservoir and the wellbore. The injection and perforation tunnel velocities are also probed, and it is found that their values decrease in time, as the cold water front advances and the viscosity of the fluid behind it increases. Similar computational analysis can be performed for producer wells.
Another variation of the 2D injector well models above, this time coupling single-phase flow with convective solute transport. The whole system is initially at the reservoir pressure. Isothermic water injection then begins, containing trichloroethylene (TCE) tracer for the first ten minutes. The tracer concentration distribution is monitored throughout the aquifer and the wellbore.
Two penny-shaped hydraulic fractures extend the reach of a horizontal open hole well drilled into a low permeability reservoir. The hydraulic fractures are sand-packed and intersect a network of activated natural fractures, modeled here as a stack of “sugar cubes”. Inertial effects are considered within the sand pack. Their impact on the well production rate, as well as that of the natural fracture network, is assessed for various pressure drawdown values.
The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for water flow in the pore space of a hexagonal close pack of perfect spheres. This 3-dimensional model exemplifies the emergence of inertial effects in laminar flow through porous media. The empirical Darcy law and Forchheimer equation for porous media are thus naturally derived by modeling the fluid flow at the pore space level.
Water is injected from the bottom into a vertical core plug saturated with oil, and the water saturation Sw distribution is probed as the liquid displacement occurs. This model employs a synthetic capillary pressure Pc(Sw) curve and Corey-type correlations for the relative permeability functions of the two liquids.
The capabilities employed in this model can be used for analyzing laboratory experimental data, or for the modeling of flow in petroleum reservoirs–applications for the latter including water injection for secondary recovery or hydraulic fracturing.
A pressure pulse is applied to the upstream end of a sample holder containing a tight rock core plug and filled with nitrogen gas. The transient pressure response at the downstream end is compared to the input signal. The core plug considered corresponds to one of the samples reported in SPE-89867.
The equations employed by this model can be used not only to assist with laboratory data analysis, but also for larger scale modeling of gas flow in the reservoir and near-wellbore area.

Angelina Jolie and Brian Tyree Henry star in Marvel’s Eternals
Angelina Jolie applauds Marvel for refusing to cut scenes featuring a gay superhero from her new film Eternals to appease homophobic censors in several countries.
Jolie is one of the stars of the movie about a race of immortal beings with superhuman powers who reunite to save the earth from evil creatures.
The film, directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao, features a kiss between a same-sex couple, Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) and his husband, Ben (Haaz Sleiman); said to be a groundbreaking moment for the Marvel superhero franchise.
Megan Townsend, GLAAD’s Director of Entertainment Research & Analysis, applauded Eternals for the LGBTQ-affirming representation.
“Seeing a powerful gay superhero kiss his husband and feeling the reaction in that theater was a real-life example of why it is important for our stories to be told,” she wrote.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, however, the scene and the queer characters fell foul of officials in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait who demanded cuts to the film before it is allowed to be screened.
Marvel and its parent company, Disney, have surprisingly stuck to their guns and refused to make the edits.
During a press conference, Jolie was asked about the attempts to censor the film because of its gay content. “I’m sad for [those audiences]. And I’m proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out,” she told news.com.au.
“I still don’t understand how we live in a world today where there’s still [people who] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn’t approve or appreciate it is ignorant.”
Zhao recently revealed that she’d specifically requested that the studio not make any cuts to Eternals related to the LGBTQ-affirming scenes.
“There’s a big desire from Marvel and myself — we talked about this — to not change the cut of the movie. Fingers crossed,” the director told IndieWire.

Transformed our hotel lobby
We used this tile on the walls of our hotel lobby. They really helped to transform the space. While our hotel is 3 stars, they make it look like a 4-star hotel. We are truly happy with our purchase.
Better than expected
I am very happy with this purchase. I was looking for something that would give me that wow factor without costing me a small fortune. I finally found this tile but it came in smaller sizes making it time-consuming to install on my bathroom floor.
Easy to cut and install
I hired a professional to install this tile in the area behind my kitchen sink. The results were amazing. I love how it’s easy to clean and able to withstand molds.
Elegant kitchen tile
This tile is beautiful, thick and sturdy. It looks great in my kitchen and it changed the whole décor. It's like this tile was meant to be in the kitchen. I have received so many compliments so far.
Installed in my bathtub surround
This tile is really gorgeous in my bathtub surround and bathroom walls. It created a soothing tone in the bathroom which really make me feel calm when soaking in the tub. Highly recommend this tile.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSAsk a Question
Can this tile withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees for long periods of time?
We'd love to know more about how you're planning to use this tile with exposure to sustained high-degree heat!
It is approved for backsplash use behind a gas or electric range - make sure your appliances are installed according to fire codes to ensure that there are no safety hazards from heat sources in your kitchen.
It can be used as a fireplace surround on the exterior of a fireplace. Tiles should not be installed inside the firebox for wood or gas fireplaces, but only used on the facing.
If you have other usage questions or are looking for materials for alternate uses, please contact our customer service team so we can learn more about what you are planning.
What is the tile thickness?
This mosaic tile is approximately 5/16" thick
Can this be used as backsplash on the wall behind the stove? Can it be easily cleaned? What product would you recommend for cleaning?
Yes, this tile can be used behind the stove for a backsplash wall! It's made of glass, resin, and ceramic - none of which are porous materials that would absorb stains from cooking. You can use a gentle household cleaner intended for those materials to wipe it clean after use. We do recommend applying a grout sealer to grout lines to keep them fresh and keep them from absorbing stains as well.
Is this tile appropriate for fireplace surround? In other words, is it heat resistant?
Yes, you can use the Eclectic Slate Square Mosaic Tile as a fireplace surround - the materials appropriate for use behind the stove or around a fireplace insert (as long as they are not installed directly adjacent to the heat source, i.e. inside the firebox)
Minor chips, scratches and other imperfections are inherent in this product and should not be considered as defects or damages.

Rising alcoholism levels have led to the creation of many new Texas alcohol rehab facilities, while at the same time many people with a drinking problem feel they can quit without any rehab. A rehab program is still the best choice for most addicts and alcoholics, and finding the right one for you can be a challenge.
The fact is that recovery outside a professional program is high risk — especially as this approach usually does not address the underlying issues behind the addiction. Alcohol rehab programs offer you the chance to recover in a setting which addresses all aspects of chemical dependency and addiction through a well-planned and administered program of action.
Trying to quit in your normal surroundings, on the other hand, makes it very easy to relapse. You’re constantly faced with things that trigger the urge to drink. A good Texas alcohol rehab like BRC Recovery will give you valuable skills to deal with the situations where you would normally start drinking, as well as techniques to help you handle stress in ways that are healthy.
In general, alcohol rehab programs involve three stages: assessment, stabilization, and recovery.
Assessment is a key phase to successfully overcoming an alcohol dependency. The recovery plan you follow will be based on your initial assessment on arriving at the Texas alcohol rehab center. If necessary, the center will refer you to a professional who can perform an examination to determine whether you need medical detoxification.
Once you stop drinking, there is a risk of suffering serious symptoms of withdrawal, such nausea, anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and seizures Therefore, the assessment will look at your level of intoxication, your history of drinking, and how long you have been drinking. It will also be important for them to know if you have been through detox or been admitted to rehab before, as well as whether you suffer from any medical issues related to alcohol.
Another reason the assessment phase is so crucial is because addiction recovery professionals will help you determine your recovery objectives. The evaluation will help both them and you understand your level of motivation and how strongly you want to change your own behavior. These are both crucial aspects to your recovery.
After detoxification, there needs to be a time period for stabilization. Depending on the substance, how much has been consumed and for how long, are all factors that will be addressed by medical professionals. Some people may stabilize in a few days, others would require an extended period of time. Once detoxification and stabilization has occurred, recovery can begin.
A good rehab center will customize their approach to your particular situation. Some people go into rehab voluntarily, realizing they need to change their lives. Others go into rehab as the result of an intervention or a court order. Regardless of your situation, abstinence from alcohol or drugs is not enough for most people to achieve long term sobriety. A structured rehab program and a daily program for living is the most effective. Texas alcohol rehab centers like BRC Recovery provide a strong foundation of treatment for 90 or more days, followed by sober living and aftercare monitoring.
For more information contact BRC Recovery at (866) 905-4550.

Chemical Releases to Air and Water Drop Drastically in USVI
Release Date: 04/12/2006
(New York, NY) The quantity of toxic chemicals released into the air and water by industry in the U.S. Virgin Islands has fallen by more than 25%, from a total of 1.7 million pounds in 1998 to a total of 1.2 million pounds in 2004, according to data in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) issued today. The release of lead into the environment of the Virgin Islands declined by over 25% from 2003 to 2004 from 1,221 pounds to 905 pounds, and the amount of total releases, including land disposal, dropped by 5.4% in the same period. TRI provides Americans with vital information about chemicals released into their communities, and is an important instrument for industries to gauge their progress in reducing pollution. On a national level, over 23,000 facilities reported on approximately 650 chemicals for calendar year 2004.
“This inventory is one of the most effective tools for reducing pollution because it provides invaluable information to both the public and industry,” said Alan J. Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator. “While the report is principally designed to inform the public, facilities also use it to identify promising areas for preventing pollution.”
Thanks to improvements in EPA’s system, the vast majority of facilities now report data electronically and detailed information about specific facilities is more readily accessible to the public.
TRI tracks the chemicals released by facilities specified by the Emergency Community Right to Know Act of 1986 and its amendments. The Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) of 1990 also mandates that TRI data include information on toxic chemicals treated on-site, recycled, and burned for energy recovery. The TRI is the most comprehensive source of information about chemicals released into the environment.
The TRI data and background information are available to the public at http://www.epa.gov/tri/tridata/tri04/index.htm. Communities can also quickly and easily identify local facilities and chemical releases by using the TRI explorer mapping tool, available at http://www.epa.gov/triexplorer.

1988 Dodge Aries K Station Wagon: My pride and joy. First car I ever wrecked. Although damaged after sustaining a 45 mph plunge into a construction ditch, the Dodge Aries K lived on for a few more years. Yes, years. In fact, it even survived jumping a handful of hay stacks that got dropped directly in front of me on the highway going 70-75 m.p.h.
1966 (?) Plymouth Valiant: Great car. Delivered a lot of pizzas. Push button transmission. Absolutely horrible on winter and/or back roads. I left the lights on one night for a few hours and the battery died. So, I did what any sensible 18 year old would do – I jumped it. Unfortunately, I hooked the cables up to the wrong posts (it was dark!) and somehow fcked the entire car. No joke. Charging the battery wrong ruined like everything on the car in the matter of like a month.
1970 Volkswagen Beetle: One of my favorites. Couldn’t be any colder in the winter. Of course, you could see the moving road through the floor panels. But, once we fixed that slight problem, it was a dream to be behind the wheel. It could somehow get through any difficult traffic situation and/or sand dune. Volkswagen Beetles never get pulled over either – I’m not sure why the cops take it easy on VW Beetles. Sometimes the gas mixture – or something of the other – doesn’t go right and the car stops running. That’s always fun.
1992 (?) Chevy Astrovan: I don’t know if I ever “owned” this car – thanks Mom – but it brings up some good memories. A) Pushing it through the hood in Detroit because something got jacked in the radiator. We saw a gun sale go down. B) Hitting 2 deers at once and the insurance company fixing the damage rather than totaling the car. C) A buddy (Jason) puking all over the side of it on the way home from Canada. It was Canada, right? We weren’t 21. D) My Dad driving it 90 m.p.h. regardless of the road conditions, speed limit, and/or traffic congestion.
1999 F-150: I don’t know if I ever “owned” this truck – thanks Dad – but, the F-150 was nice. While Volkswagen Beetles (above) don’t get pulled over, you can’t take more than a 2 hour drive before getting pulled over in an F-150. The inflatable lumbar support and going way too fast for a truck in all weather conditions was cool.
1999 (?) Honda Civic Hatchback: I sort of blur this car out of my memory. Not as fun to drive as the Volkswagen Beetle and could fit under any semi truck on the highway. Awkwardly cold inside during the winter but I think something heater related was broken. Roamed the streets of Lansing way too often in this vehicle engaging in such activities as tracking down Magic Johnson’s brother. He worked for my Dad. Long story.
1994 Ford Explorer – Eddie Bauer Edition: Going back to an American car for my last year of college and first few years post college. Props to my Dad for the kick a$$ system, Eddie Bauer amenity package, and repaint. The Explorer loved Chicago. Not. Hated Chicago. Broke down every other week. Dropped a ton of money into it every other paycheck and somehow ended up fixing an alternator on the streets of Chicago with a cheap toolkit and repair guide. After dropping $600 or so dollars on the last repair, I returned the car back to its birthplace in Michigan. It still exists and has run fine ever since. Crazy.
2002 Dodge Stratus: Chicks loved this car. Ha! The silver bullet – 2 door. The first car I truly owned. Meaning, I had to make car payments. I’m glad it’s retired though I never had any minor or major mechanical issues. This, in my book, makes the Stratus a definite favorite car on the list.

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method in which each individual hair is treated by inserting a tiny surgical probe into the hair follicle and directing a split second impulse of energy down to the hair root. The hair is then lifted out (not pulled out). This is repeated over and over until the desired area is cleared.
Electrolysis is often viewed as a permanent hair removal method. Once the hair root is destroyed, the hair will not grow back, right?
In some cases hair does regrow in places and clients need to return once or twice a year for a cleanup. Hair can continue to grow in the underarms, pubic area. Applying a hair inhibitor lotion after electrolysis can stop the hair from re-appearing.

If you’re traveling to Lexington, Kentucky anytime soon, you’ll want to put the Kentucky Horse Park on your must-see list. The 1,200-acre park is located off of Hwy, 1973 and I-75 in the heart of Lexington, and is the only known horse theme park in America. The park is a working horse farm, educational park and equine competition facility. Incidentally, the drive to the park is breathtaking and filled with horse farms with rolling hills and grazing horses.
Memorial to Man o’ War A Most Famous Racehorse
We visited the park last week and thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of horses and horseracing. Once you enter the gates to make your way to the Visitor’s Center, you’ll see beautiful grounds and moments dedicated to Kentucky’s horse industry. To the left is the statue and grave of Man o’ War considered one of the most famous racehorses in America. Known as Big Red, he was sold to his owner, Samuel Riddle, for $5,000 and went on to win 20 out of 21 races. His owner didn’t race him in the Kentucky Derby, if he had, some believe he would have won the Triple Crown. Man o’ War did sire War Admiral who was a Triple Crown winner.
History of Horses
It’s at the Visitor’s Center is where you will buy your ticket for the day. You also will find the gift shop and the International Museum of the Horse. The International Museum of the Horse depicts the history and importance of horses and the impact they have made on human civilization. There are three additional museums at the Horse Park; the Saddlebred that gives the history of the American made horse and has a 2400 volume research library, the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Museum and the Wheeler Museum which displays equestrian memorabilia.
The Kentucky Horse Park
If you choose to forgo the museums then you must catch some of the horse events. There’s a horse-drawn trolley, The Hall of Champions, where you can meet Kentucky Derby winners, a Draft Horse demonstration, Parade of Breeds and Groom & Shine for kids in the Big Barn. The former Kentucky Derby winners are a must-see!
Hall of Champions
During our visit, we saw Funny Cide, the 2003 Kentucky Derby winner, Western Dreamer, who won the 1997 U.S. Pacing Triple Crown and Point Given who won four races in a row including the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes at the Hall of Champions.
Parade of Breeds
Another fun and educational event at the Horse Park is the Parade of Breeds. This event included the American Saddlebred, an Arabian, the Gypsy Vanner, the Tennessee Walking Horse, the American Faso Pino, the Friesian and the Hanovarian breeds. After the performance, you will get to pet the horses. We found that the horses thoroughly enjoy meeting and greeting visitors.
Big Barn Draft Horses
If you want to learn horse care, you’re in luck! The Draft Horse demonstration, you will learn about show prep, harnessing and breed history. You also will get to meet and greet the horses at this event.
Here your children will learn which tools are used to groom and care for horses. They will then get to groom the horses themselves.
Horseback and Pony Rides
In addition to the horse events, there are horseback and pony rides at the park. Riders must be seven years old and four feet tall to ride the horses. Pony rides are for children two through 12 and who are under 90 pounds. The horseback rides are 30-minutes long and on a guided trail ride.
If you’re looking for other things to do at the park, there also is a summer camp series for children and Horse Country Farm tours. The park also hosts several special events throughout the year.
However, to take in all that the Horse Park has to offer, you should plan to visit for two days. Currently, the park offers free next day entry with a paid receipt from the day before. To plan your visit and for pricing information visit www.kyhorsepark.com

When the wood grill aroma overtakes as you approach the building, you know you're in for a taste treat of Portuguese BBQ. Service began with a welcome warm roll and butter. If you enjoy spice, try their grilled Portuguese sausage appetizer. I found the fried bacallao fish cakes to be bland. Their pork ribs, though, were tasty, moist and tender. The 1/2 chicken was juicy and tangy and came with plentiful sides of firm rice and beans. They have BBQ and hot sauce available but it's not noteworthy. Choose from assorted soft drinks in the cooler. The staff is hard-working. With about 10 cramped tables, I understand why take-out orders appear popular. There's only 5 parking spaces alongside their building, but you can park for free on nearby side streets. It was a cold evening when we visited and we had to eat in with our coats on to protect ourselves from the wind blowing in every time a customer entered or exited through the entry door. They're located diagonally across from the Hackensack University hospital complex.

The CB4 Responsible Development Policy was drafted in response to a noticeable and expanding increase in neighborhood development over the past decade. New developments are often out-of-character and inaccessible to long-time residents and other stakeholders. The policy reflects the board’s and community at large’s development priorities as regularly articulated in board and other community planning meetings.
Developers should take the following standards into consideration prior to engaging and/or presenting to the board.

When you start to believe, do you sometimes trust in everyone else first, or do you believe in yourself? I am not saying any of us are perfect. I know that I am not, and I do need the help of many others around me. Yet, when it comes down to believing in someone who has my best interest’s truly at heart? Is it me, or is it someone else?
We should all ask questions, study the answers, and do our best to understand what we hear and see. Part of that understanding is whether the thought shared is right for us. There is only one person out of over 7 billion on this planet that can tell us the answer. The person is hard to find. However, if you look in the mirror, then you may find him or her.
You know yourself better than most people. You are also the only one who must live with whatever you do. Others can stay or go. When you are doing well and are on top, everyone is there for a piece of the action. When you fail, your waiting room starts to look like a ghost town. So, you should always have the final decision.
If you are not sure, start small. As you get better at choosing a snack or a cup of coffee, Step up your game. What movie would be best for tonight? Do I want to eat out or stay in and cook a steak?
Trust is like anything else. You need to practice and learn to get good at it. Your first trust moment should not involve which stock you invest in with the entire family fortune. Just relax and take trust easy, seeing how it works for you. You can make the right decisions; you only need to get used to the idea.
Thank you for being with me today. I hope to be with you again tomorrow.

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy; Silver nanoparticles; Low pressure conditions; Sensitivity improvement;
In this work we studied the effect of vacuum (low pressure) conditions on the behavior of laser-induced plasma (LIP) created on a sample surface covered with silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), i.e. Nanoparticles-Enhanced Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (NELIBS) experiment in a vacuum. The focus was put on the step by step optimization of the measurement parameters, such as energy of the laser pulse, temporally resolved detection, ambient pressure, and different content of Ag-NPs applied on the sample surface. The measurement parameters were optimized in order to achieve the greatest enhancement represented as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of NELIBS signal to the SNR of LIBS signal. The presence of NPs involved in the ablation process enhances LIP intensity; hence the improvement in the analytical sensitivity was yielded. A leaded brass standard was analyzed with the emphasis on the signal enhancement of Pb traces. We gained enhancement by a factor of four. Although the low pressure had no significant influence on the LIP signal enhancement compared to that under ambient conditions, the SNR values were noticeably improved with the implementation of the NPs.

As with past efforts from The Roots, the band’s 13th album, undun, will feature its fair share of impressive collaborative partners. Mississppi rapper Big K.R.I.T. was the first guest confirmed via the album’s lead single, “Make My”. Now, with the remainder of the tracklist revealed, we know frequent collaborators P.O.R.N., Phonte, and Dice Raw (whom all appeared on How I Got Over) will also be featured on the 14-track LP. Check out the full tracklist below (via 2dopeboyz).
The Philly crew and Fallon backing band also announced one more big-name guest star making a very special cameo: indie rocker Sufjan Stevens. No stranger to alt-leaning acts thanks to past collaborations with the Monsters of Folk and Joanna Newsom, de facto band leader Questlove explained Stevens’ role in a recent interview with SPIN Magazine.
“We’ve always loved the song ‘Redford’ from Michigan. So we close the new album with a cover of ‘Redford’. We stretched it out into this four-part movement. Part 1 is Sufjan at the piano performing it. And then Part 2 is a string quartet that we had interpret it. Part 3 is myself and D.D. Jackson, who is an avant-garde piano player. He’s probably one of the most dangerous pianists I don’t know how he doesn’t have carpal tunnel now. But he just destroys, literally, destroys the piano. The final movement, which ends the record, is essentially the beginning of the story. But it’s the last thing you hear. It’s a very powerful piece of work.”
undun is in stores December 6th via Def Jam.

A Look Ahead to 2019
By Kris Seale, President & CEO, Funeral Directors Life
Funeral Directors Life is excited to announce that our SecurChoice Trust Annuity, a trust product offered through the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association (PFDA), will be going up 40 basis points to a 3.0% growth rate for 2019. As a result of a consistent, conservative investment approach as well as a rebounding bond market, returns have increased sufficiently to allow us to offer a very strong annuity rate for the SecurChoice trust option.
As we look ahead to 2019, there is no time like the present to think about a strategy to grow and expand both your at-need and preneed business. Here are a few questions and ideas I’d like you to consider for the future of your business:
- Where do you want your business to be by 2020 and beyond?
If you are like me, you probably have some goals and objectives for your business that you’d like to meet over the next year and beyond. Now, more than ever, it is important to plan for the future of your business. With rising cremation rates, changing consumers, and increasing pressure from low-budget competitors, growth is not likely to happen on its own. Make a plan now for systematically growing your preneed block of business and take concrete steps throughout the year to reach those goals.
- What challenges could keep you from achieving your goals for this year?
Once we have a goal, we need a plan—and we need to know some of the challenges that might keep us from carrying out that plan. Personally, I believe one of our biggest challenges in funeral service today is communication with the families we serve. In the consumer’s mind, the funeral is a commodity differentiated only by price. In the funeral director’s mind, the funeral is an opportunity to grieve in a healthy way and connect with the community during a time of loss. Sometimes, it seems like we are speaking a different language than our customers! If we want to get back on the same page with the families we wish to serve, we have to realize that:
- The needs and preferences of funeral consumers are changing.
- They no longer understand why funeral experiences are important.
- Solid communication, technology, and education must be part of our plan going forward.
We know how valuable a healing and meaningful funeral can be. When done the right way, a funeral ceremony can bring people together, help them express their grief, and even transform a community in the face of tragic loss. But families don’t know what they don’t know. It’s up to us to educate them.
- So, what are you going to do about it?
I have to be honest with you: most of our profession will do nothing to change the tide of consumer opinion or improve their communication with families. They have become order-takers who just do “what the family wants.” But if “what the family wants” isn’t really what they need, isn’t it our obligation to provide them with all the information they need to make a decision that is good for them and for their loved ones? I suggest that it is time to do something different if we want to see different results. If we do nothing, consumers will find ways to skip the funeral because they don’t understand the value of it. In my opinion, the risk of staying the same is far too great. So, let’s do something!
Our clients at Funeral Directors Life have started to see a turning of the tide as they implement new solutions that resonate with the families they serve.
If I were to boil it down to three big ideas that will make the biggest difference in your business in 2019 and beyond, they would be:
- Make it as easy as possible to do business with you.
Convenience always wins the day with consumers. Think of the rise of Amazon, Uber, Netflix, and so many other tech giants. They made it easy for customers to do business with them, and they became major disruptors in their industries. You, too, can win the day by communicating with families in the way they prefer.
- Educate families about why funerals are important.
Most families don’t know or understand WHY a funeral is important, so we have to tell them. This education can happen through social media, video, web content, brochures, lunch & learns, preneed and at-need appointments, and so much more.
- Serve families like no one else.
Many funeral home owners don’t realize how much time they spend on back-end processes, forms, insurance claim paperwork, and duplicate data entry, and reporting. These are time killers that keep you from being the kind of funeral director you want to be. If you invest in making your business run as smoothly as possible, you will have more time to invest in serving your families, leading to happier, more satisfied customers.
In order to survive and thrive as a business in the future, we need to adapt to the inevitable changes that are coming. That is where it can help to work with competent, innovative partners who are anticipating the challenges ahead and have already prepared solutions for you in advance. Funeral Directors Life is here to guide you through the changes that lie ahead. I encourage you to stay focused on the three areas mentioned above, and you will begin to take major steps toward achieving your goals for both your at-need business and your preneed business in 2019. Who knows? You may even find a renewed passion for serving others that got you into this business in the first place.

Duke v. Commissioner of Social Security
ORDER DISCHARGING Order to Show Cause and Amending Scheduling Order signed by Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone on 3/3/2017. (Sant Agata, S)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
LORNA LYNN DUKE,
Case No. 1:16-cv-00333-SAB
ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO
SHOW CAUSE AND AMENDING
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
(ECF Nos. 15, 16)
On December 29, 2017 an order issued granting the parties request to amend the
18 scheduling order. The amended schedule required Plaintiff to file her opening brief on or before
19 February 21, 2017. Plaintiff did not file an opening brief in compliance with the December 29,
20 2017 order. On February 23, 2017, an order issued for Plaintiff to show cause why this action
21 should not be dismissed for the failure to file an opening brief in compliance with the scheduling
22 order. Plaintiff filed an opening brief on February 28, 2017. On March 2, 2017, Plaintiff filed a
23 response to the order to show cause.
Plaintiff responds that due to the tragic passing of his wife who had been ill with terminal
25 cancer and the impact on his children, counsel has required additional time to prepare and file
26 Plaintiff’s opening brief. The Court is sympathetic to counsel’s situation and shall discharge the
27 order to show, however, the issue in the Court’s mind is that counsel has continued to fail to put
28 in place a system by which to track due dates in pending cases. See Holguin v. Commissioner of
1 Social Security, 1:15-cv-00753-SAB (E.D. Cal. Dec. 18, 2015). If counsel needs additional time
2 to comply with the scheduling order then a stipulation or request for extension needs to be filed
3 prior to the due date.
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
The order to show cause, filed February 23, 2017 is DISCHARGED;
Plaintiff’s request for a nunc pro tunc extension of time to file the opening brief is
Defendant shall file a response to the opening brief on or before March 30, 2017;
Plaintiff’s reply, if any, shall be filed on or before April 7, 2017.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

OK, I’d like to meet the guy who eventually buys this bike. The Solid Gold Mountain Bike ($1,000,000) is the most expensive extreme mountain bike in the world. Named “The Beverly Hills Edition” this is a fat bike overlaid with pure 24k gold. It took about 750 hours to complete, because each part was coated using an electroplating process. It even comes with over 600 black diamonds which create the THSG logo and a one of a kind customzied seat covered in chocolate brown alligator. Only 13 of these gold beauties will be created, each one made to the exact specifications of the buyers.
If you’re not familiar, Boosted is the maker of an electric powered long board for urban travel. Well, they say it’s for urban travel. I could definitely see myself tooling around the burbs with one of these. The Boosted Board ($1299) sold out of its first run back in October and now they’re taking pre-orders […]

Getting on the Ropeway in Hakone to see Mount Fuji in all its conical splendour was a feat in itself for me when we visited 18 months ago. I don’t like heights or enclosed spaces, and at the time I was suffering panic attacks for inexplicable reasons. I didn’t need to create a reason to have such an attack thousands of feet above the valley floor. But, as mentioned in a previous post on my Fuji experience, it was either ride the Ropeway with my partner and friends or be left behind at our hotel.
So, arming myself with everything I thought I’d need to distract myself from the tyranny of anxiety, I embarked on as high above the Earth a journey as I’d ever experienced. And I managed it just fine.
The happy result is these, and other, images which remind me if I hadn’t stepped up I would have lost out.
What have you done to step out of your comfort zone while travelling. Let me know. I’d love to hear about it.
Thanks for visiting …

The Active Lincolnshire’s CEO challenge took place in February at the Priory City of Lincoln Academy where 12 teams went head to head across 10 five minute games that crowned Healthy Hoops from Public Health the winner of the cup and The Campaign for Actual Spokespeople from Lincoln City Council as the winners of the plate.
Active Lincolnshire board members joined staff from the Lincolnshire Police, Fire Service, Council, Public Health and North Kesteven District Council for an evening of networking and team building using the exhilarating and exciting sport of wheelchair basketball.
Teams of four worked together not only to play basketball, but to learn how to control both the wheelchair and their movement on the court. This created a level playing field that saw teams grow in confidence throughout the games as they gained insight into disability sport.
Active Lincolnshire has been running the wheelchair basketball program since 2009 and has seen 35,000 + people take part. It is especially popular in schools where it gives children a chance to gain empathy and understanding of those with disabilities. Ian Brown from Active Lincolnshire works on the program and he believes the reason for the success, especially with young people, is their perception of people with disabilities before and after taking part in the sport: “before taking part 95% of children’s opinion of those with disabilities is negative, however after the 12 week program this dropped to 5%”.
It is a sport of skill and adaptability more so than overall physical fitness, giving those “less sporty” people an opportunity to outperform their own expectations and preconceived ideas of their ability level. Having said that, this is a sweaty sport that leaves your arms aching from muscles you have never used before.
The teams that improved the most were those that called out to each other, managed the court well and supported each other. Big smiles, high fives and laughter were shared after each bout as teams went about overcoming the physical obstacle the wheelchair presented and grew in respect for those who can’t jump out at the end of a game and stand for the podium photo.
Active Lincolnshire hopes to use this platform to create a new league that comes together to compete and network. If your company is looking for an opportunity to get their workforce active and feels this might be the right choice for you please contact Ian at

MetroHealth and Discount Drug Mart are expanding their partnership to offer "unprecedented and immediate" access to health care at clinics inside more Discount Drug Mart stores, according to a news release.
The new agreement between the health system and the Ohio-based pharmacy and retail chain will expand the number of MetroHealth-operated clinics inside Discount Drug Mart stores throughout the state. MetroHealth currently operates clinics inside Discount Drug Mart stores in Parma Heights, North Royalton, Independence and Olmsted Falls, according to the release, which says this number will increase "substantially."
Specifics around the new locations will be announced in the first quarter.
"Our organizations are both committed to transforming and improving the value of medical care by expanding access to more convenient less expensive care," said Dr. Akram Boutros, MetroHealth president and CEO, in a prepared statement. "When quality, cost and convenience are no longer a barrier, we will help our communities become healthier."
Advanced practice providers like nurse practitioners and physicians assistants will staff the new clinics and work in collaboration with primary care physicians.

NEW! Homeschool Days at the High Museum get a makeover! We have revamped our program to better fit the needs of homeschool students and educators. Classes are designed to serve small homeschool co-op groups and individual homeschool families.
Two-hour homeschool classes are held six times during the school year, starting in September. Each class focuses on a new theme, and participants are divided into classes by age. Classes take place in the art galleries and in the Greene Family Education Center. Homeschool educators can sign up their students for one session at a time or for a series of sessions. Homeschool educators, parents, and caregivers are encouraged to participate in a guided gallery tour while students are engaged in the workshop. Caregivers must remain at the Museum during the entirety of the program.
Costs are $11 per child and regular general admission for chaperones. The program is free for High Museum members. Participants can sign up for multiple sessions at a time.
Check back for future Homeschool Days.

LEEDS RHINOS hooker Paul Aiton says he is still in the dark over whether he will be banned from playing following a doping investigation in Australia.
The Papua New Guinea international said the long-running saga – over the alleged use of peptides in 2011 – is causing him concern, but said he is trying to focus solely on pre-season with Leeds.
Aiton has been under threat of a ban since August when 12 of his former Cronulla Sharks team-mates accepted reduced three-month suspensions as part of a deal with Australian anti-doping agency ASADA.
Playing in Super League, Aiton – who joined Leeds from Wakefield Trinity Wildcats a year ago – was not offered a similar arrangement and is understood to be facing a possible two-year suspension.
He is now in pre-season training with Leeds following his autumn break, which included time spent in Australia briefing lawyers on his situation.
Aiton has said throughout he has not been kept informed of developments by anybody in Australia.
“It is the same story,” he said. “I am just waiting to hear back from Australia.
“Until then it is just business as usual and let’s get on with it.
“I received an email, which I responded to and I am just waiting for the next step.
“I can’t really do anything until I hear back. It has been going on a long time and it is always in the back of your mind.
“But every time you think about it you’ve just got to try and snap yourself out of it and think about the year coming and training and getting yourself prepared mentally and physically for the next season.
“But it is always there, behind you.”
Rhinos chief executive Gary Hetherington has said it would be “inconceivable” for Aiton to receive a longer ban than his Australian-based former colleagues.
The player stressed he is trying to focus on a more consistent season in 2015, after missing three months of his debut Leeds campaign due to illness.
“I am just really looking forward to the season getting started,” he said.
“It is a shame I have got this hanging over me, but my goal is to be very consistent next year and get back some form.”
As reported in the Yorkshire Evening Post earlier this week, Aiton – the first Papua New Guinea-born player to feature in a winning Challenge Cup final at Wembley – received a hero’s reception in his homeland.
“It was a busy off-season, I had a lot of people to meet and a lot of things to do,” he said.
“But it was good to go back to PNG and spend some time with my family and people who love the game.
“I handed some jerseys out that Leeds donated, which was good.
“Because they don’t have pay tv the majority of the people don’t get to see the Challenge Cup.
“It’s only clubs and bars that show it, but by the time I left they knew where I played and they knew of Leeds Rhinos.
“It was a good first step and I think next year I’ll do some more and get Leeds Rhinos known there a bit more.”

China, Cambodia agree to advance close ties
Chinese President Xi Jinping(L) shakes hands with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, Oct. 13, 2016. (Xinhua/Xie Huanchi)
PHNOM PENH, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- China and Cambodia pledged Thursday to advance their already close and strong relationship as Chinese President Xi Jinping paid his first state visit to the Southeast Asian nation.
In talks between Xi and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, the two leaders agreed that the two countries should continue to be "highly trusted friends, loyal partners and a community of shared destiny in weal and woe."
They have also decided to cement the traditional friendship between the two countries and boost their comprehensive strategic cooperation.
Noting that the friendship that was forged and cultivated by Chinese and Cambodian leaders of previous generations has grown even stronger, President Xi said that the current bilateral relationship is showing a positive momentum of development, with continuously enhanced political mutual trust, fruitful economic cooperation and closer coordination in multilateral affairs.
"China has always valued the traditional friendship between the two countries, and stands ready to work with Cambodia to constantly enrich the meaning of their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, thus delivering more tangible benefits to both peoples," Xi said.
The president praised the political and social stability, rapid economic development and improvement of people's livelihood in Cambodia, as well as the elevation of the country's international status, saying that he believes the Cambodian government will lead its people to build a more prosperous country.
"China firmly supports Cambodia in pursuing a development path that suits its national conditions, and is willing to continue to provide assistance within its own capacity for Cambodia in national construction," Xi said.
For his part, Hun Sen said that the Cambodian side thanks China for its long-term assistance and always regards carrying forward the traditional friendship as an important mission.
Noting that Cambodia and China are good friends who enjoy a high level of mutual trust, Hun Sen said that the two sides have always understood and supported each other on issues involving their respective development and major concerns.
Cambodia is willing to join hands with China to take President Xi's visit as an opportunity to strengthen their friendship and deepen their comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, he added.
During the talks, the two sides vowed to maintain high-level contacts, enhance government, parliament and political party cooperation, deepen exchanges on governance experience, and expand collaboration in diplomacy as well as law enforcement and security.
The two sides agreed to align their development strategies, and draw up and implement a cooperation outline on jointly promoting the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
The two countries will take measures to expand their two-way trade, and strengthen cooperation in industrial capacity, investment, agriculture, water conservancy, infrastructure construction, energy, telecommunications, industry and marine sector. The two leaders witnessed the signing of a number of bilateral cooperation agreements covering those fields Thursday.
The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone and other projects of bilateral cooperation should be earnestly carried out, the two sides agreed.
Both sides also wanted to expand exchanges and cooperation in science and technology, education, culture, cultural relics, health, tourism and youth.
On international affairs, the two sides pledged to push cooperation between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and enhance communication and coordination within such multilateral frameworks as the United Nations, Asia-Europe Meeting, East Asia cooperation and Lancang-Mekong Cooperation group, thus safeguarding the shared interests of the two countries and the developing countries at large.
After the talks, Xi and Hun Sen attended an inauguration ceremony for a Chinese studies center in Phnom Penh. A joint declaration was issued.
Before the talks, President Xi laid a wreath at the Independence Monument in the center of the capital city.
Xi arrived here Thursday noon for a two-day state visit to the kingdom.
After Cambodia, Xi will travel to Bangladesh and the western Indian state of Goa, where he will attend a summit of the emerging-market bloc of BRICS, which groups Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.[ Editor: Zhang Zhou ]

How to Get the Most Out of Your Volkswagen Every Season
November 30 2017,
Right before winter, taking some time to inspect your wiper blades would be also a priority. We have already compiled a Volkswagen Parts Special regarding all your tires and mats needs, this winter.
Alberta road conditions can be hard on your vehicle. Both our summers and our winters feature extreme temperature changes that can severely impact the drivability of your Volkswagen. Actually, Pincher Creek, just 100 kilometers east from Lethbridge, holds the record for the most extreme temperature fluctuation in Canada: from -19ºC to +22ºC in just one hour!
But that's what we're here for. Lethbridge Volkswagen is your southern Alberta Volkswagen dealer that can take care of all your maintenance services on your car, truck or SUV. For your benefit, we have compiled a list of our recommendations for this Alberta winter:
More and more of the Volkswagen SUVs in Alberta are equipped with the VW 4Motion All Wheel Drive system. AWD provides stability and traction under most conditions, yet if the roads in the areas you are driving are really, really bad, we would recommend investing in a good set of VW winter tires. Winter tires are optimal for all temperatures under 7 degrees Celsius and can perform better on icy and windy conditions and when traction is non-existent. Even if your Volkswagen is already sporting winter tires, if its more than 5 years since you replaced this set, we would recommend an inspection by our qualified Volkswagen Technicians in Alberta.

Fantastic service from a great bunch of guys. Dropped my bike off in the morning for an emergency repair of 13 spokes. They didn't try and sell me a new wheel and managed to repair the existing wheel. What's better, they prioritised the work as they knew I was travelling the following day. Highly recommended.

By Katelyn McWilliams Posted November 29, 2018
IT admins are yearning for a cheaper identity and access management platform. Of course, IT admins don’t equate cheap with poor quality or flimsy, but rather cost-effective. So, is there a cost-effective identity and access management (IAM) solution available?
The good news is that massive innovations in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) space have created a whole new category of identity management solutions. These cloud IAM platforms are pushing the boundaries of capability and doing it all at a reasonable cost. Before delving into the capabilities of these new, cost-effective IAM solutions, it’s best to have a baseline metric to compare them to.
Identity and Access Management Through the Years
Traditionally, the identity and access management platform of choice has been the on-prem directory solution, Microsoft® Active Directory® (AD). This identity provider platform made a great deal of sense when the network was Windows®-based and on-prem. In its time, AD was considered relatively cheap. After all, the directory service was practically “free;” it came included with the purchase of Windows Server from 2000 onwards.
As the IT landscape started to change and new types of IT resources emerged—especially those that weren’t Windows-based—Active Directory started to struggle. Most notably, with the overall drive to push IT to the cloud, the on-prem AD instance couldn’t quite make the jump. This created a whole new opportunity for IT vendors to create add-on solutions to AD. Directory extensions, web application single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and other tools emerged to help admins bridge the gap between their AD instance and the rest of what the IT world had to offer. While these solutions were helpful for IT admins, they had a few consequences: one, they increased the cost of identity and access management; two, they further cemented Active Directory on-prem at a time when the network was starting to shift to the cloud.
The Costs of IAM
When thinking about the costs of IAM, it isn’t just the price of the software that adds to the cost. When you start to add in servers, hosting, security, load balancing, backup, and on-going maintenance, running an identity and access management program isn’t cheap.
This struggle is partially why a new generation of IAM solution—called Directory-as-a-Service®—has emerged as a modern replacement to Active Directory and these IAM add-ons. This cloud identity management platform is cost-effective as its “a la carte” pricing model allows IT organizations to only pay for what they use. Further, the Directory-as-a-Service IAM approach is more akin to a True Single Sign-On™ platform. This is because the cloud directory combines centralized user management, cloud LDAP, virtual RADIUS, system management, web application SSO, MFA, and much more all in one IAM platform.
Explore your cost-effective identity and access management with JumpCloud® Directory-as-a-Service. By contacting us, you can learn more about what the IAM solution has to offer your organization. You can also learn more on our blog or YouTube channel. If Directory-as-a-Service seems right for you, you can try it today absolutely free. Your first ten users in the platform are free forever, with the option to pay as you add more users.

Mortensen, Jørgen and Renda, Andrea. (2007) Asthma in the EU: Towards Better Management and Regulation of a Public Health Issue. CEPS Special Reports, December 2007. UNSPECIFIED.
Asthma is a common life-long chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that affects children and adults of all ages and whose prevalence is rising in a number of the most-developed countries. It is widely recognised that there is an increasing need for EU member states to consider the scope for a common integrated approach to the asthma problem. This report, carried out by CEPS for Asthma Allergy Inflammation Research (AAIR), critically presents proposals on how the EU’s current activities could be streamlined and improved so as to better complement and support member states’ activities on asthma. The report identifies gaps and inconsistencies in EU policy-making and argues for more concerted efforts in order to improve the situation of patients across the EU.

No RX Motilium, An FSA allows money to be deducted from an employee's paycheck pre-tax and then spent on qualified expenses.For an example of potential tax savings associated with a flexible spending account, a person in the 28% Federal marginal tax bracket and an example 4% state tax (along with FICA taxes of typically 7.65%, for a total tax of almost 40%), could deduct $2,000 and put that money into an FSA for health care.

Televisions must evolve to become fully interactive and connected to online services in order to keep their position at the center of the home, a Panasonic executive said Tuesday.
Internet-backed apps and features, and the ability to interact with other wired devices like phones and tablets are now as important as picture quality and design, said Hirotoshi Uehara, a managing director in Panasonic's TV division.
"Smart TVs will continue to evolve to become interactive communication devices within the home," said Uehara, who spoke at the Computex exhibition currently underway in Taipei.
Panasonic's most recent sets support a Web browser with HTML 5, the new version of the markup language that allows developers to more easily create interactive sites, as well as cloud-based apps and services. Its TVs also interact with its smartphones and tablets, allowing users to flip pictures and video between the devices and use their handsets as television remote controls.
Uehara said the company has signed up "plenty" of programmers to its developer program.
He said the company's strategy also includes positioning TVs at the center of the coming wave of "smart" appliances, which can connect to online services and download software.
The television industry is nervously watching Apple, long rumored to be preparing its own TV. The steady backdrop of rumors about if and when the company will reveal such a device has increased recently, with the approach of Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference from June 11 to 15 in San Francisco.
Uehara spoke just a month after Panasonic booked a US$10 billion loss for last fiscal year, the largest ever for a Japanese manufacturer. Along with domestic peers like Sony and Sharp, Panasonic has struggled to stem losses in its TV business, long a mainstay.
The Osaka-based firm has continued to back plasma technology as part of its TV strategy, which technically is superior to LCD in areas like screen refresh rate but has failed to catch on with other manufacturers. This means that production equipment and components remain scarcer and more expensive.
Uehara said the company will continue to offer both plasma and LCD sets
Computex, one of Asia's largest electronics and component shows, runs this week.

Twice a week.
I give a tenth
Of all my income.”
νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατεύω πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
Luke has Jesus tell this parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector that is only found in this gospel. Luke indicated that Jesus said that this Pharisee said that he fasted twice a week (νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου) and he gave a tenth of all his income (ποδεκατεύω πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι). Normally, the Pharisees fasted on Mondays and Thursdays. This was a good thing. This Pharisee fasted and did not eat twice a week. Besides, he tithed all his income, as he gave 10% to the Temple. There was nothing wrong with this behavior. He was a faithful Jewish person. The problem was his attitude, not how he acted. Was is your attitude toward your religious practices?

Add to this the epitome of Crusoe-chic at Vamizi Island’s Casa Marjani and you have a recipe made in ‘get away from it all’ heaven. Casa Marjani, ‘marjani’ meaning ‘coral’ in the local Kimwani language, is a 5-bedroom private villa, sleeping up to six adults and seven children. It lies within 4.7 acres of forest on a pristine beachfront, guaranteeing absolute exclusivity and privacy.
Designed with the nearby lapping ocean and bleached driftwood as an inspiration, Casa Marjani is constructed from sustainably sourced wood and thatch, with quirky décor elements thrown into the mix: an old dhow sail covers the outer lounge area as a shade, carved driftwood is revitalised as art. The entertainment building boasts an indoor and an outdoor dining area plus several lounges, all flowing seamlessly through an open plan onto the beach. A tower above has a small study, children’s TV and playroom, and an open air chill-out and observation deck, which is perfect for stargazing on perfect tropical nights.
|Service||Fully Serviced by a team of staff|
“Beachfront bliss, and barefoot luxury; I imagine staying here with your family for a week would be a real treat, super fun, and very relaxing.”Liesel van Zyl, Product Manager
This exquisite villa boasts five bedrooms, several lounge and dining areas, a viewing tower and a ‘tree-house’ bedroom, all within steps of your own private beach. With your own chef and hospitality team, a private 4x4 vehicle for exploring the island, and a separate children’s TV and entertainment room, you have the perfect place in which to enjoy a blissful family holiday or time out with a group of friends.
The reef, which is just metres away from the shore, is perfect for snorkelling, and the dive sites further off shore are out of this world. Kayaks and sailing boats are available to skim out over the water. Set in its own forest reserve spanning several acres, your privacy is guaranteed and your private chef and hospitality team ensure that every mealtime is an event and an experience. Featuring surf-fresh seafood and locally grown produce, the menu is always refreshing, delicious and healthy - all that is required from you is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the utterly gorgeous setting of this pristine Indian Ocean paradise.
An exquisite blend of coral, ocean blues, Zanzibari wooden furnishings and whitewashed walls are offset by vibrant splashes of colour and texture, coupled with plush and inviting sofas and loungers at every turn.
Set on a remote corner of Vamizi Island, which has a few small villages of Mwani people, many of whom are employed by the villa in a variety of capacities. Vamizi Island is part of the far-flung Quirimbas Archipelago off the northern coast of Mozambique.
Perfect as a blissful getaway for families or a group of friends, Casa Marjani offers the ultimate in privacy, exclusivity and sheer pampering in utterly gorgeous surroundings.
Vamizi’s climate is described as tropical. Its low-lying offshore position means that it is not strongly affected by local weather patterns and is protected from extreme weather. The hottest months are October to April with a monthly average between 27°C / 81°F and 30°C / 86°F. From January to March there can be tropical rain showers. The drier months are June to September with a monthly average between 26°C and 27°C / 81°F.
The main bedroom has a magnificent view of the ocean, its own private deck leading to the beach and an en suite bathroom complete with walk-in shower.
The second bedroom is also sea facing with its own deck leading down to the beach and an en suite bathroom. There are two children’s bedrooms set back into the forest, both with en suite bathrooms, and a spectacular elevated ‘tree house’ bedroom, also with an en suite bathroom.
The spacious en suite bathrooms are an exquisite blend of wood, stone and brass fittings, featuring large shower rooms and double basins.
The main living area has a striking palm thatch roof and open sides. Its decking flows into the landscaped gardens, offering the perfect outdoor dining setting with beautiful views of the ocean. A mezzanine level within the main living area offers the perfect hideaway with comfortable futons and beanbags.
Just behind the main living area is an open courtyard complete with swinging chairs and hammocks. The tower, adorned with star gazing chairs, offers uninterrupted views across the island and up to the night sky. A beach gazebo, simply designed with a traditional dhow sail for shade, offers the perfect setting for relaxing on the beach.
There is an elevated study behind the main bedroom.

It's easy to believe that great customer service can only happen when there's a helpful person available to answer all of a customer's questions.
But the reality is that customers don't always want to reach out for support. In many cases, they'd rather just find the answer on their own and get on with their day.
As long as the resources you provide are backed by human support so customers aren't left to completely fend for themselves, customer self-service is a key component of delivering excellent support.
What is customer self-service?
Customer self-service is any activity where the customer performs work on their own behalf without the assistance of company staff. The term applies to a wide range of activities — from customers picking their own groceries to searching an online help center for answers to their questions.
As modern companies aim to serve huge customer bases with relatively small teams, self-service portals, knowledge-bases, and online preferences and account tools have seen significant numbers of tasks shift from company-driven to customer-driven.
What are the benefits of customer self-service?
Customer self-service provides a variety of benefits for everyone, customers, companies, and support teams alike:
Improved customer experience: Research shows that people often prefer to answer their own questions without having to contact support: "Across industries, fully 81% of all customers attempt to take care of matters themselves before reaching out to a live representative."
Increased sales: Many customers will abandon a transaction rather than face the uncertain timing and outcome of opening a customer service request: “53% of U.S. online adults are likely to abandon their online purchase if they can’t find a quick answer to their question."
Lower support costs: Self-service makes it possible to help large numbers of customers
at a significantly lower cost: "The cost of a do-it-yourself transaction is measured in pennies, while the average cost of a live service interaction is more than $7 for a B2C company and more than $13 for a B2B company."
Greater support availability: While you may only be able to provide human-powered support on certain days of week or certain hours of the day, self-service tools can make support available to your customers all day, every day.
Happier, more productive support staff: Studies have found that support agents find 40% of customer tickets to be "mind-numbing and repetitive.” Self-service reduces the number of repetitive questions in your queue, which makes support work more engaging and frees agents up to handle more complex requests.
Good self-service vs. bad self-service
Not all self-service is effective at helping customers, so let's take a look at what makes a great self-service experience, as well as the signs of a poorly executed self-service program:
|Bad self-service||Good self-service|
Forces customers to do work that would be much more quickly or easily done by the company.
Gives customers faster access to the answers and information they need.
Has customers performing tasks that are workarounds for problems in the product or processes of the company.
Allows customers to control their experience by making changes without needing to call or email. For example, a bank might let their customers change their daily withdrawal limit online.
Uses complicated or frustrating technology.
Offers a clear path to contact a live customer support team when necessary.
Prevents customers from getting human help when they need it.
Frees up customer service staff to answer more complex questions and have more meaningful interactions.
If you want to learn more, check out this webinar on the right kind of self-service, featuring Help Scout CEO Nick Francis and Jeff Toister of Toister Performance Solutions.
How to offer self-service support
There are a number of different options available for companies that are looking to start providing self-service to their customers.
Below, you'll find five of the most effective customer self-service methods, plus a few examples of companies that had a lot of success with these methods.
Build an FAQ page
The simplest way to get started with customer self-service is to build an FAQ page on your website. An FAQ page is basically a lite version of a knowledge base, providing answers to the most common questions customers have.
The biggest task in creating an FAQ page is finding what topics you need to cover to make it a worthwhile resource.
If you’re using a help desk, the best place to start is in your reports. There you can see what questions and topics are most common for customers to contact you about and use those as a guide when creating your FAQ page.
Another option is to survey your team about what questions they see most often. Though it’s not as precise, customer service representatives generally have a good pulse on what issues are most important to your customer base. You could even brainstorm as a group to get an initial list together.
Create a knowledge base
A knowledge base is a tool that makes it easy to create a help center for your customers. You can publish how-to articles and answers to frequently asked questions, organize those articles into a logical taxonomy, and make your content easy to find through both your help center's search tool and search engines.
Wistia is a great case study for providing effective self-service via a knowledge base. In 2012, they removed their phone number from their website in order to better scale as they added many new customers.
But Wistia didn’t just remove phone support; they replaced it by investing heavily in their knowledge base, producing a ton of informative, entertaining resources to help their customers learn and solve problems.
The self-service strategy was a resounding success. They decreased phone support by 25%, saw a boost in the speed of conversion, were freed up to provide more in-depth support when needed, and received "extremely positive feedback" from customers.
There are a couple of different ways to provide automated support with self-service tools.
One option is to use a chatbot. Chatbots are generally available in a live chat tool and can be trained to provide answers to frequently asked questions. However, poorly trained chatbots can be frustrating to customers, so it's extremely important that the chatbot you use makes it easy to get in touch with a human agent.
Another option is to use a tool like Help Scout's Beacon. Beacon is a live chat tool that surfaces relevant articles from your help center so customers can find the answers they need without chatting with a live agent. And if customers can't find answers on their own, they can easily get in touch with your support team.
At Help Scout, Beacon helped us scale up live chat support without getting overwhelmed by the volume of incoming chats. It was so effective that, as our CEO Nick Francis said, "It surprised even us."
Publish pre-recorded classes and tutorials
If your product is complex — or if you get lots of questions from new customers about how to use it — pre-recorded classes and tutorials can be a great resource for helping customers get up to speed.
If you already offer live classes for customers, creating pre-recorded classes and tutorials can be as simple as recording one of your live sessions. When you're finished, you can use those videos in many different ways:
Publish the recordings on your website and help center.
Showcase them in-app to help with new user onboarding.
Include links to them in new customer onboarding emails.
Crop your video to create mini-tutorials for different tasks and features, then use those for in-app onboarding or embed them into related knowledge base articles.
Build a public forum or community
While it's always best to have experts on your team helping and creating support content for your customers, there are some cases where it makes sense to create a forum or community where customers can help each other:
If your company is growing rapidly and you're either struggling to keep up with your support queue or don't have time to create knowledge base articles for all of your frequently asked questions.
If you offer a free product/service and can't provide support to all of your customers.
Google is a great example of where having a community makes a lot of sense. The company has more than 250 products, many of which are free. And its most popular free products have more than 1 billion active users each.
To help its customers get the answers they need to succeed, the company has built communities for many of its products. Customers can post in the communities to get help from other users and Product Experts — regular contributors to the communities who provide excellent answers and support.
However, forums and communities have the same needs as chatbots — they work best when they're backed by your support team. In many cases, customers can answer each others' questions, but when they can't, you'll ideally have a community moderator from your support team who jumps in and helps where needed.
The 5 best customer self-service software
Delivering top-notch self-service solutions often comes down to having access to the right tool. But depending on your goals, resources, and product offering, what constitutes the “best” customer self-service tool will vary.
These five customer self-service software options below cover a range of different use cases so you can find the tool that best meets your customers' support needs.
1. Help Scout
Best omnichannel support software.
Help Scout is a complete customer support platform that includes two customer self-service tools: Docs and Beacon.
Docs is an easy-to-use knowledge base builder that lets you create, organize, edit, and manage content. The WYSIWYG editor makes creating content quick and easy, customizable CSS keeps your help center on-brand, and organization options and search capabilities ensure viewers are able to easily find the information they need.
You also get access to performance data to better understand which articles are meeting the mark, the ones that could use improving or updating, and if there are any gaps in your content.
With Beacon you’re able to embed a widget onto any page of your choosing so customers can quickly access your Docs content. This means they’re able to get the answers they need to resolve issues when and where they need them.
You’re able to set suggested articles for each widget you make and change them per page so content is always as relevant as possible. And if someone’s not able to find the answer they need, they can simply send a message to your customer service team from the same window.
Best of all, Help Scout’s customer self-service tools are just the tip of the iceberg. You also get access to powerful customer support tools like a shared inbox, proactive messaging, CRM data, reports, and more.
Price: Starting at $20/user per month.

Lexus CT200h hybrid
Too posh to rush?
Review Give Toyota its due, it's wringing the maximum amount of value from the Hybrid Synergy Drive power train. The 1.8 VVT-i Atkinson Cycle petrol engine and associated electric motor have already turned up in the Prius and Auris Hybrid, and now you can have them in a posh frock with a Lexus badge on the nose.
Lexus' CT200h: the nose looks better than the rest
Called rather inelegantly the CT200h, Lexus' new baby is being billed as the first full hybrid in the premium compact sector. Or, to put it another way, a semi-sporty but still eco-tuned posh hatchback to compete with the likes of the Audi A3 and BMW 1 series.
Of course, sporty the CT200h really is not. Yes, when you turn the settings dial to Sport, the instrument cluster turns from blue to red and the charge/power gauge is replaced by a rev counter, but the basic performance profile of an Atkinson four-pot and CVT transmission remains when accelerating hard at low speeds: a surge in revs followed eventually by some forward motion when the gearbox catches up.
Not a Mazda 3 - even though it looks like one
In Sport mode, which maximises the electric motor’s output and sharpens throttle response, the engine and electric motor deliver a combined power output of 134bhp, enough to get the Lexus to 62mph in 10.3 seconds and on to a top speed 112mph.
Those numbers are not the whole story, though, because there's a useful amount of torque available in the mid-range. Press the throttle at 50mph and the CT200h lunges towards the horizon with a satisfying lack of fuss.
Rear window visibility is way better than you get out of a Prius
What you lose on the low-speed acceleration swings you gain on the driving roundabouts thanks to the 81bhp/153 lb-ft (60kW/207Nm) electric motor, which will propel you silently along the road for a mile or so at speeds up to 28mph - a useful feature in stop-start traffic.
My ride's here
The CT200h’s combined-cycle fuel consumption of 68.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 94g/km are impressive for car in this class. Both those figures are a gnat’s todger worse than the Prius and Auris Hybrid, but then the CT200h is heavier than the latter and less slippery than the former, with a drag coefficient of 0.29 versus the Prius’ 0.25.
Not an unpleasant look, but anonymous
Combined with a 45 litre fuel tank, the Lexus has a theoretical maximum cruising range of 682 miles, but you'll have to drive very carefully to get close to that figure.
In the real world, I was getting around 57mpg.
On the open road, the Lexus is more refined and more poised then the Prius. Road holding is altogether better thanks to double wishbone rather than torsion beam rear suspension. Throw it into a corner and the Lexus stays flat and tucks in with none of the wallow the Prius would sometimes display.
Ride quality is also rather impressive. You may not be wholly isolated from the vast potholes that riddle Britain’s B-roads but you don’t feel like they are shaking the fillings out of your teeth when you hit them.
The cabin is a similar step up from Toyota-land, with aluminium inserts and soft-touch plastics everywhere. You don’t get leather seats with the base SE-I spec, but the cloth is so lasciviously pleasant to the touch I was tempted to take a quick spin in the buff just to get the full effect. More importantly the seats are extremely comfortable and supportive.
Sculpted flanks all the rage these days
The optional 8in screen satnav, communication and entertainment system is controlled with the help of what Lexus calls a Remote Touch unit. Think of a large PC mouse stuck to the centre console with a flat-headed joystick at the top and Enter buttons on either side, and you get the idea.
Inside the Lexus CT200h
The cabin is very pleasent and very well made
The enormo-screen satnav is an 1850 quid option
Having a mouse in the car actually makes sense
Point and click
Turn the dial, dash turns red and you go fast(er). EV mode is all battery
It’s an easier way to navigate menus than the system controllers you'll find in modern BMWs and Mercedes - you just point and click as you would a PC. It so easy to use you can even do it on the move without diverting too much attention from the job of driving.
Standard kit is reasonably plentiful and includes a USB audio socket, tyre pressure warning system and leather steering wheel, but cruise control really should be standard across the range - it’s not even an option on the SE-I model.
It's not actually a large car - this antipodean songstress (not included) is really very small
After 22 years, Lexus seems as far away as ever from a design philosophy that gives its cars an immediate visual identity. Of course, anonymity is not necessarily a bad thing - all BMWs look very BMW-ish, but that means I don’t much like the look of any of the current range.
Externally, the CT200h is apparently the latest expression of Lexus’ L-finesse design ideology and to be fair it’s not an unattractive car, but it just looks a little too much like a big Mazda 3 in my eyes.
Room for the odd dead body or two in the back
The CT200h range starts at £23,485 on the road, £2500 more than the Prius. Add the fold-away satnav system and metallic paint and that figure rises to £25,845. For the same sort of money you could get a five-door BMW 118d which is dynamically superior - not just to the CT200h but to everything else in the class - and maybe even as economical in the real world, but it’s less spacious, less well-equipped, as ugly as sin and it lacks that magic EV button.
By moving its hybrid offering into the - ahem - premium compact segment, Toyota Lexus has dodged the inevitable value-for-money questions that bedevil its other hybrids. The CT200h is not cheap but it is pleasant to drive, quiet, comfortable, spacious, versatile and very well bolted together. If you're looking for a car in this class and don’t have any boy-racer pretensions, it should do you very nicely. ®

Thermostats and Control Systems
Your thermostat can be the key to energy savings all year long. Annual savings of approximately ten percent can be achieved on your heating and cooling costs by adjusting your thermostat by ten to fifteen degrees for eight hour time stretches. This is easy to do without sacrificing comfort – just turn back your thermostat while sleeping or while you are out of the house for the day. A programmable thermostat or automatic setback thermostat can make the process of adjusting temperatures easy, requiring almost no effort on your part.
A programmable thermostat offers a lot of flexibility and allows you to adjust the times your heating and air conditioning systems operate, according to a pre-defined schedule. This saves money by not operating the equipment as much when you are sleeping or the house is unoccupied. Programmable thermostats can store multiple temperature settings according to a daily or weekly schedule. The programs allow you to set the day and time, to choose multiple temperature settings for different parts of the day and to specify how long to hold the temperature at a particular setting. The programs can also be manually overridden if you want to change the temperature for a specific length of time without affecting the remaining program parameters.
Thermostats and Control Systems
In the winter, you can save as much as one percent for each degree that you turn your thermostat down for a period of eight hours. The same strategy works in the summer with central air conditioning. The percentage of savings is greater when you live in a milder climate than when climate changes are more severe. By using a programmable thermostat instead of a manual one, it is easier to make the temperature changes on a regular basis. You can also avoid the discomfort of the increase or decrease in temperature when you're away or sleeping by setting the thermostat to restore your home to a more comfortable temperature right before you return home or awake. It may require a little trial and error to figure out the best timeframes for raising and lowering temperatures in order to maintain comfort while still conserving energy, but once you figure out what works for your home and your schedule you can easily conserve energy and save money with little to no discomfort or effort.
There has long been a misconception that by setting back your thermostat, you don't really benefit from much in energy savings because the furnace or air conditioning system has to work harder to warm or cool your home and restore it to a comfortable temperature. Through years of research it has been shown that this isn't true. The fuel needed to reheat a building to its original temperature is generally equal to the fuel that is saved as the temperature drops. The savings comes between the time that the temperature stabilizes at the lower temperature and the time until it needs to be reheated again. This means that the longer the time that the temperature is set back, the more energy you will save. This works for air conditioning as well.
Programmable thermostats are not recommended for use with certain types of heating systems. These limitations relate to heat pumps, electric resistance heating systems, and steam heating and radiant floor heating systems.
Maintaining a moderate setting is usually the most cost effective method of operating heat pumps. When they are in cooling mode, they operate like an air conditioner and turning up the thermostat will save energy and therefore money. But, when a heat pump is in heating mode, setting back the temperature can cause the system to operate inefficiently, which cancels any potential energy or money savings. There are, however, some companies that now offer specially designed programmable thermostats specifically for use with heat pumps that can result in energy and cost efficiency by setting back the thermostat.
Electric Resistance Heating Systems
These systems, such as electric baseboard heating, require thermostats that are capable of directly controlling 120-volt or 240-volt circuits. Only a few companies manufacture line-voltage programmable thermostats that can be used with these types of systems.
Steam Heating and Radiant Floor Heating Systems
Both of these systems typically have a low response time, so it is usually suggested that setting back temperatures not be done because it takes too long to restore a comfortable temperature. There are some manufacturers that now offer thermostats for these systems that track the performance of the system to determine how long in advance a temperature needs to begin to be restored in order to achieve a comfortable temperature at a specified time, so this overcomes some of the obstacles of using programmable thermostats with these types of systems.
There are a few different options available when choosing a programmable thermostat. Most programmable thermostats are either digital or electromechanical and some can be a mixture of both. Digital thermostats offer the most features, such as multiple temperature settings, overrides and even adjustments for daylight savings time, but are sometimes a bit difficult to program. Electromechanical systems are usually easier to program, using pegs or sliding bars, but do not offer as many options. Be sure to look for the ENERGY STAR® label when shopping for a programmable thermostat.
When programming a thermostat it is best to consider the schedules of everyone in the house. Determine sleep and wake times and the times that the house is unoccupied for long stretches of time. Then determine how long before you sleep or wake, or before you leave the house or arrive, you can adjust the temperature while still maintaining comfort. You may be able to adjust the temperature while you are still at home or awake without noticing a big difference in temperature. You can always override settings when you need to change the temperature because your schedule changes.
Another thing to think about when installing a programmable thermostat is that the location of the thermostat can affect its performance and efficiency. It is best to place thermostats away from direct sunlight, drafts, doorways, windows and skylights. You should read the manufacturer's instructions carefully to avoid ghost readings or unnecessary system cycling. It is also important to locate your thermostat in a place that is easily accessible and convenient for when you need to program the unit or override a programmed setting.
Using programmable thermostats can be an easy way to conserve energy and money all year long. With just a little bit of effort, you can reduce heating and cooling costs by about ten percent a year, simply by not wasting valuable heating and cooling energy while the residents of your home are sleeping or while the house is unoccupied.

Starting point: Ramolhaus
End point: Martin-Busch Hütte
Distance: 12 kilometers
Perfect time: july-august (least amount of snow)
– Ramolhaus to Ramoljoch: 30 minutes
– Ramoljoch to junction to Vent: 1 hour – 1.5 hours (depending on conditions of the trail)
– Junction to bridge over waterfall: 1.5 hours
– Waterfall to road in the valley: 1 hour
– Beginning of the road to Martin-Busch: 1.5 – 2 hours
Equipment: Very sturdy hiking shoes, at least type B, walking sticks come in handy sometimes. You could use a via ferrata set to secure yourself on the Ramoljoch (in case of severe fear of heights), but this is not necessary.
Difficulty: The trail requires a certain amount of experience with rugged terrain and long-distance hikes. When there is still a lot of snow, it complicates the hike considerably. The entire climb to the Ramoljoch is secured with cables and stairs, but this is not to be taken lightly. Do not attempt to do this with small children; it is very steep and the staircases are often far apart. The descend consists of a steep slope next to a glacier, covered with big boulders. There might be danger of falling rocks. The rest of the trail is fairly easy.
– When you get down to the junction, it is also possible to descend to Vent in about 2-3 hours.
– When you’re very experienced and trained, it is possible to reach the Similaunhütte. This would take about 2 hours extra.
– It is possible to climb the Ramolkogel(s) and then descend further down to the Martin-Busch Hütte.

Do you know what it’s like to hear nothing but silence? Nothing but the wings of birds slashing through the air or the whispers of the wind between the grass? Have you ever only smelled the scent of ice and snow hovering between the rocks? Well, if you didn’t, your missing out. There are few things that make me happier, if there are any. Being alone, feeling on top of everything, where the world ends and the universe begins. That’s when you – well I – feel alive.
We were standing on a narrow ridge – the Ramoljoch – overlooking both the places we had been and the ones we were going. The sun was trying to break through the clouds but barely managed. A thin layer of damp mist floated through the air. On our right we could still see yesterday’s glacier and a hint of the cabin we slept in. We could see the abandoned buildings – damaged by an earlier rockslide – we visited a few days ago. We could see the steel cables beneath our feet we conquered only a few minutes ago. On our sides two mountains rose up, crowned by crosses and in memoriam signs. And then we turned to face one of the giants of Austria and started down the rocky slope, the Wildspitze watching over us.
The terrain was rugged like I’d never seen before. Rocks and boulders were clinging to the mountain, but only just. Faint patches of snow were covering the steep trail. We went around to avoid any danger of slipping. An ancient glacier lay next to us, but only traces of it were still visible. It was crumbling before our eyes. Every few minutes a rock slid down, leaving a trail of destruction and deafening sounds in the air. We watched. And I looked onto my elder map, where it said that only ten years ago the trail we were descending did not exist yet. We went on through fields of flowers I’d never seen before. I made sure I took some pictures so I’d remember them. Then when I would be back home, I could browse my grandfather’s dusty alpine books to discover their names. We past a fallen sign, covered by a black plastic sheet. Do not trespass. Danger of falling rocks. Trail will soon be rerouted and reopened. It was handpainted in two languages.
The clouds started to part and some patches of blue sky started to appear. We crossed a fast flowing river and turned away from the crippling glacier. Slowly grass began to show and rocks turned into pebbles. The view changed. We could see the valley below – Vent on our right, the road we had to reach on our left. New mountains rose on the horizon. We hiked through meadows for some time, until the track started to wind down into a steep ravine. I could already hear the sound of water crashing into rocks. A giant waterfall was coming down the mountain. It had carved out its path over thousands and thousands of years and was now buried deep into the flank. A narrow wooden bridge was waiting for us at the end of the descend. I stopped and looked at the water before crossing. It was dazzling and ear-piercing. It’s better not to stare at it for too long. You might get scared.
From the bridge it was only a 500 meter descend that separated us from the road to the Martin-Busch hütte. It’s a long way. And the more we descended, the higher the temperatures got. We lost most of our clothes and got out the sunscreen. It was hot. We were walking next to the river now, on the bottom of the valley. On the other side we could see the road. It was closed. Or at least part of it. Danger of falling rocks – road closed. This time written in four languages. People began to appear. We had been alone for quite some time. This trail was busy. But then again, Martin-bush was not know for its solitude. It was the gate to Italy, to the Similaun and to the fundstelle, the location Ötzi – the 5000 year old Iceman – was found.
Then we could finally turn onto the road and leave the narrow trail and nettles behind. People told us about this part of the journey. Every time you turned a corner you expected to finally see the cabin – and every time you didn’t. I tried not to get my hopes up, not to focus on the road itself but on my map and other features. In the distance, you could see a small bridge, merely a wooden plank. The cabin should be about 400 meters above that bridge. But that bridge was still so far away. We had already covered about 10 kilometers of tough terrain – plus those 8 previous days – so we were quite exhausted. The road was also full of people. Most of them just started off in Vent, so they were still as fit as a fiddle. It was a friday afternoon, tomorrow would be saturday, so they were mostly people heading into the mountains for the weekend.
I think it took us another hour and a half to reach the cabin. All in all, we did pretty good, especially when you take in consideration how sick I had been the previous days. According to the yellow signs it’s about 6 hours from the Ramolhaus to the Martin-Busch hütte. We did it in 6 and a half. There were a lot of people at the cabin. It was completely booked. Over a hundred people would be sleeping there tonight. They showed us the room we would be sleeping in and we unpacked a little. We would be staying for two nights. After unpacking – well, if you call throwing some stuff onto the bed unpacking – we went downstairs to have a well-deserved Apfelschörle. I treated some of my blisters and took another look at the maps for tomorrow. While checking the alitmeter to adjust it, I noticed the height was way off. It hadn’t been before, only a couple of meters when the weather was changing. I suspected I had touched the wheel by accident or something. But then, about five minutes later it started raining. Not just a little. Water was slamming into the wooden floorboards and the stone rooftiles. Everybody fled the terrace. A roaring wind picked up and wrapped itself around the cabin. Everything that was still outside blew away. Never in my life I had seen such forces. It was thrilling to be there at that moment, exciting. At the same time I was so very glad I was inside the cabin, not out. But as sudden as the storm washed over us, it disappeared again. The clouds parted and out came the sun.

This may just be a piece of cloth but there’s no way denying its power to give classy styles on women’s garments. I believe you too have your own scarves collection. Ever wondered why women’s scarf had blossomed to be one of the most-used accessories in the world and how did this fashion accessory came to life?
Scarves can be tied around the waist as a traditional belt or as a side-knotted belt. As the traditional belt, a scarf can be folded and inserted into the loops of the jeans and then tied in front. The other style looks like a sash where the scarf is tied over a dress and then tied at the side to for a more fabulous look.
If you are going for a sexy, but classy look, try wearing a low-cut sleeveless top, accented with an over sized shawl. The top in a cold summer feel and a cozy scarf offers an ideal instance of harmony and contrast mixture.
Bangles: Worn on the wrist, bangles are believed to be protective bands and women always wore them as symbolic guards over their husbands. As with other ornaments, bangles today are worn by women of all ages all over India and are made of silver, gold, wood, glass, and plastic, among other materials.
Taking care of the womens watches that may suit your shorts is also an important point here. The best thing is to minimize your accessories and to keep it as simple as possible. You can go with a simple narrow belt made of metal or leather. High heel shoes would look great but in case you require a hipster look, flat footwear and sandals will do. If you need to carry a handbag, keep it shorter strapped. For jewelry, go for simple chains and large earrings.
These shorts can be worn by people with different body shapes but those who have hourglass body, straight or even apple shape body would look the best with this piece. Just make sure you know what your body type is, then you can bring yourself a nice pair of these shorts. In order to buy the perfect pair of shorts, you have to make sure if you need to buy it for all dressed up style or casual style. Once you buy these short, you have to follow certain rules. The main point is that you have to accentuate them. For this, you need to wear shirts which can be tucked in, or you can go with fitter tops and short tops. You can pair these with ruffle tops, blazers and even cardigans, in case you want to give it a fancy look.
Keep ’em guessing. That’s half the fun. You can shop economically, build a fabulous-and unique-teen apparel wardrobe- and have a blast while doing it. Doesn’t get much better than that.

iPhone owners smarter than Android fans, says online test
People who own an iPhone are smarter than Android owners, according to the results of a mental agility test conducted by, er, Ladbrokes.
Feeling smart? Phone fans who own an Android owners, according to the results of a brainpower test that pits the wits of smart phone owners against each other -- while Nokia and BlackBerry are for the more, how can I put it, brainially-challenged.are smarter than
The results come from British bookie Ladbrokes, which challenged a thousand users of its smart phone app to complete an online mental agility test. The test includes questions asking how many months have 28 days and how many 9s there are between 1 and 100, as well as brain-bothering cranium-teasers like choosing the next number in a sequence.
The fastest individual time was scored by a big-brained Samsung user who completed all the questions in 47 seconds, a full minute faster than the average Samsung owner. But as a whole the smartest group was made up of phone fans packing an iPhone.
It took iPhone owners an average of 94 seconds to complete the test. Owners of aphone came in second place with an average time of 99 seconds, followed by devotees of Samsung and HTC, who are neck-and-neck at 103 and 105 seconds respectively.
And the dunces of the smart phone world? Owners of Blackberry phones, whose slow reactions mean not only have they not yet ditched BlackBerry but also that they limped through the test taking 118 seconds on average.
Of course, it's all a bit of fun -- there's no link between the type of phone you own and the size of your IQ. In fact, compare the price tags on an iPhone and a Nexus and then tell me who's smarter.
To find out why the rivalry between iPhone and Android gets so heated, press play on our video on the fascinating psychology of tech tribes:
Who's the smartest smart phone owner? Tell me your thoughts -- don't worry if you don't have any, BlackBerry users -- in the comments or on our Facebook page.

2014 Fine Arts Graduates
boston college fine arts department
Fine Arts awards for Film Studies went to Daniel Zawodny (Costa-Gavras Social Justice Award), Katlyn Prentice (Excellence in Film Making Award) and Daniel Martin (Cinematography Award). Daniel Zawodny filmed in Guatemala in the summer of 2013, and in 2014 produced a documentary about healing and reconciliation in El Salvador. Katlyn Prentice applied her skills and talent to numerous endeavors on the BC Campus, and served Professor John Michalczyk as an Undergraduate Research Fellow. A review of Katlyn's 2014 documentary Mile 21 appeared in the April 28 edition of The Heights. Daniel Martin's Cinematography Award recognized his accomplishment in special effects and scriptwriting.
Earlier this spring, the Boston College Arts Council presented its Film award to David Riemer for the generous contribution he has made to the arts at the University and the greater community by offering his filming services to the School of Social Work and other campus groups, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Claire Townley received the Allison R. Macomber, Jr. Award, and Molly Phelps the Marianne Martin Award, for their outstanding scholarship in the field of Art History. At the Boston College Arts Festival in April, the Arts Council had presented the Jeffery Howe Art History Award, recognizing outstanding contributions to the arts, to Annie McEwen. Phi Beta Kappa inducted all three of these young scholars into its Omicron of Massachusetts Boston College Chapter on May 18th. Molly and Annie shared some of their recent work at the spring 2014 BCTalks, a semi-annual undergraduate lecture series with a mission of instilling a sense of excitement in both learning and teaching, and the Visual Cultural Consortium, a regional association of art and art history schools and libraries, invited Molly to present her paper "Rembrandt's Minerva of 1635: Myth and Politics in the Dutch Golden Age" at its annual Undergraduate Art History Symposium at the Museum of Fine Arts on April 12.
In Studio Art, Magdalena Lachowicz won the Marianne Martin Award, and Patrick Hughes the Macomber Award. The catalog for the 2014 Senior Art Show includes examples of their work. In April, the Boston College Arts Council presented junior (now rising senior) Thomas Amundson with its student award for Studio Art.
Boston College elected Christine Papastamelos, Molly Phelps and Claire Townley to membership in its Alpha Sigma Nu Chapter of the Jesuit Honor Society, and Katlyn Prentice to the Order of the Cross and Crown, the College of Arts and Sciences' honor society for seniors.
So what's next for these graduates?
Two of our Art History majors, Alexandra Axiotis and Jordan Choptovy, will be pursuing their MA in the Art Business program at Sotheby's Institute of Art in New York. Stephanie Armstrong, a double major in Art History and Economics who graduated from Boston College's Carroll School of Management, will be attending the University of Edinburgh to pursue a Masters of Science in the History of Art, Theory and Display. Graduate school is also on the agenda for Molly Phelps, who will begin the MA program in Art History at Case Western Reserve University (where she has been awarded the Barbato Fellowship) and Rachel Sigismondi, who will pursue graduate work in Art History at SUNY Stony Brook. Claire Townley, who majored in Philosophy as well as Art History, has a summer internship at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. Claire plans to return to school for a Master's degree in architecture. And Annie McEwen, a double major in Art History and Theology, will be applying to PhD programs.
As for Film Studies majors, Edward Mele, who won the Boston College Men's Skiing Outstanding Senior Award and the Coach's Award in 2014, will be working between runs as the DirecTV Assistant Account Executive at Grey Advertising. Daniel Zawodny will continue his globetrotting commitment to service by heading in December to Managua, Nicaragua, for two years with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Daniel received his degree from Boston College's Lynch School of Education. Katlyn Prentice, who majored in Communications as well as Film Studies, will be working with Flying Colors Broadcasts as a video editor and producer. And Tiago Barros, who double-majored in Film Studies and Communications in BC, parlayed what he learned at BC into a position as a post-production assistant at Warner Brothers Entertainment Group, where he will be working on the TV show "The 100," which airs on the CW.
We wish all of our 2014 graduates success in their future endeavors, and expect to continue hearing about their accomplishments as they deploy fruitfully and beneficially throughout the world the knowledge, skills and values they honed at Boston College.

(b. 1547, Exeter, d. 1619, London)
Portrait of George Clifford, Earl of Cumberlandc. 1590
Mixed media on parchment, 26 x 18 cm
National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
Nicholas Hilliard, a goldsmith and miniaturist, is one of the lesser known yet highly important artists of early Baroque. His unique achievement lies in his creation of a type of courtly portraiture unparalleled in European painting at the time. By his own admission, he was influenced by Hans Holbein, that peerless master of the portrait miniature, for whom Hilliard expressed his unreserved admiration in his writings.
However, Hilliard's sophisticated and finely executed miniatures have little in common with the work of his German forerunner, apart from their mastery of fine technique and certain aesthetic principles such as the avoidance of chiaroscuro and strong modelling. These are features of an absolutely aristocratic stance in keeping with the attitudes displayed by the very people he painted.
Hilliard's portrait of George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, from c. 1590, is a full-figure portrait, which is quite rare, and it is one of this artist's most complex works. This successful naval leader was a favourite of Elizabeth I and his feathered hat also bears the Queen's glove as a mark of distinction which adds the finishing touch to his courtly apparel in the guise of a knight.

Ranchi, Oct. 7: Minister of social welfare and woman and child development minister Vimla Pradhan today gave a welcome push to economic empowerment and mobility for girls by proposing state-run working women’s hostels and short-stay homes in all its 24 districts, though she did not specify when.
Working women’s hostels will offer safe accommodation for those taking up jobs away from home, while the short-stays will be transit points for girls rescued from traffickers before they go home, said Pradhan, wrapping up the two-day meet held by Action Against Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation of Children (ATSEC), Jharkhand.
The capital boasts a state-run working women’s hostel at Nagra Toli, but getting safe and cheap accommodation for female job-holders in districts is difficult.
Pradhan apart, the last day of the meet held at a city hotel was attended by IG (CID) Anurag Gupta, member of Juvenile Justice Board (Jharkhand) Yashodhara Tripathy, DIG (special branch) M.P. Lakra, ATSEC state coordinator Sanjay Kumar Mishra and other dignitaries.
The minister also announced that the state government would set up anti-trafficking units soon across all the districts to keep tabs on traffickers and help police nab them.
“Girls who get rescued from traffickers will be trained in self-employment schemes and helped to earn. Training will be given to elected panchayat representatives on kinds of human trafficking that occur and how they can work jointly with the police to control the menace,” she added.
Last week, Ranchi police had rescued nearly 450 villagers from getting trafficked, half women and nearly 50 minors among them.
The district administration sent them back to their villages. Rescued villagers were disgruntled at neither having jobs outside nor any skill to earn a living at home. They continue to be vulnerable to tall claims parroted by traffickers again.
Rakesh Senger, Jharkhand Bachpan Bachao Andolan member, said it was “realistically impossible to completely stop migration of villagers” for employment opportunities.
“What the state government can ensure is safe migration. Villagers should be registered with the panchayat. Agents offering them jobs should also be registered with the labour department,” Senger said.

Knowing those signs can help to grasp higher the pattens of habits of an individual demonstrating the growing signs of mental illness and search assist of a mental well being supplier on the early stage.

Jimi’s lack of social interest due to this fact gave the impression to be based mostly on very real experiences with people on the planet, as his early residence life and skilled career were crammed with repeated abandonment, disappointments, and betrayals from those that he thought he could depend on.
What Will Happen Once You Are Admitted To A Psychiatric Unit
After continuing Carl Jung’s research into the unknown region of the human psyche I could discover that each one psychological sicknesses are generated by the wild conscience we have inherited into the biggest a part of our mind and psyche. Bodily adjustments should be observed first when a thought about doable illness comes to mind. Part of the problem is the precise time period ‘mental well being’ – it conjures up photographs of sickness, yet the word health is the opposite of illness – if we now have health, we’ve wellness, not sickness.
Music seemed to be the one thing that let him escape painful thoughts and emotions, and it was solely when he needed to quit taking part in and take care of other human beings when he seemed to be unhappy. In my thoughts, I regard mental illness solely as a dysfunction of perception.
With 71,874 recent instances on Feb 18, 2021, COVID-19 is simply not able to go away. As per the latest examine performed in UK, it was discovered that greater than 75% of people dwell in city areas and consequently the detachment with nature has contributed to a drastic rise in psychological well being issues.

Sometimes we choose unflattering looks just because they’re trendy, but there’s no reason to keep doing it once you realize they don’t really work for you and most other women. Some makeup trends have definitely outstayed their welcome and it’s time to let them go. Check out some of the worst makeup trends that need to die, and reinvent your look for this fall with a more subtle approach. Pass on these dated trends, and your makeup routine will be instantly improved without much effort.
It doesn’t matter if Miley Cyrus is on board with the glitter excess, you shouldn’t be. There is such a thing as too much glitter, and that’s… anything but very little. Avoid the glitter overload that you might have seen on the runways, since it’s definitely not a wearable look for most women. Keep it subtle if you want to make the most of it without looking silly.
Nose and cheek contouring have had their moment, in no small part thanks to Kim Kardashian West, but even the reality TV star has moved on to the next thing. Strobing entails highlighting the high points of your face for a beautiful and glowing finish. Noticeable contouring is one of the makeup trends that need to die, and strobing is much easier, since you’ll just need a single shade to create the look.
Fake eyelashes can definitely enhance your look when you take a subtle approach. However, the oversized “fan” look of big and obviously fake lashes has been on its way out for quite some time. Opt for individual lashes and only use a few towards the outer corner of your eyes to get a beautiful effect that won’t scream “FAKE!”
The time for abusing brow pencils has passed. Drawn-on brows with sharp, geometric edges, are one of the makeup trends that need to die. Forget about extreme eyebrow definition and opted for a softer approach with a brow powder. The obvious ombré effect is also passé, but you can keep it subtle with a slightly darker shade toward the outer corners of your eyebrows.
Using too much highlighter can definitely turn on the shine in the wrong way. Forget about white shimmery highlighter and use a more sophisticated shade in moderation. From pink champagne for lighter complexions to rose gold for darker ones, your highlighter should give you a radiant look, not turn your face into a reflective surface.

A Congolese refugee getting by in the Australian suburbs, Isa has a background that seems unimaginable in his new country - a childhood as a boy soldier. Now, Isa's a brilliant boxer, but his most difficult opponent isn't in the ring - it's the terrors of his past. The powerful debut novel from acclaimed playwright Future D. Fidel.
Isa Alaki is not from here.
At ten years old, Isa's life in the Congolese city of Bukavu changed forever. The streets were burning. The town was mostly silent, like a ghost town, until the yelling started. At school, Isa knows he has to get home. The soldiers would be looking for his father.
The sound of gunfire, the sharp smell of blood and the screams of his sister still echo in his head.
Back then, he had a choice to make. Death or a gun. He picked up the gun and became a child soldier, forced to fight for the same forces that massacred his family.
After years of horror, Isa escaped, and he is given a chance of freedom when he travels to Australia. He brings with him papers that grant him refugee status, the hope that he can find his brother, Moise, and the scars of a brutal war.
Here, the fighting skills Moise taught him when he was a boy see Isa become a talented young boxer. He spends his days punching away the past, punching away the demons in his mind, literally trying to punch his way to a better life. His powerful left hook promises much, but the demons he is wrestling with have a power all their own. The question for Isa is ... will the past ever let him free?
A moving debut novel that packs an emotional punch based on the critically acclaimed play by Future D. Fidel.

SCARSDALE—The names may change as the calendar flips from one year to the next, but the results remain the same.
There aren’t many familiar faces from last year’s powerhouse team, but Nanuet was able to capture its third consecutive Section 1 Division 2 Dual Meet Championship on Wednesday with a convincing 49-24 win over Edgemont.
“I’ve been on the team for my freshman, sophomore and junior years, and each year we won the section,” senior Frank Paratore said. “To come back my fourth year and (win a third straight Division 2 dual meet title), it feels really good. We knew we were seeded fifth and we didn’t really know (what to expect).”
The Golden Knights were heavy favorites in years past, but they embraced the underdog role this season. After knocking off top-seeded Putnam Valley in the semifinals on Thursday, they were matched up with Edgemont in the final for the third straight year.
“We definitely have a lot of respect for them,” Edgemont senior Tyler Aslanian said. “This year I thought they might be a little weaker because they lost 10 seniors, but they’re a great school and they keep pulling up quality guys.”
Joe Dillon (126 pounds), Eric Boyle (132) and Chris Lowery (138; pictured above) helped Nanuet jump out to a 13-0 lead that it would not relinquish.
Cliffton Wang (145) and Will Graybeal (152) cut the Panthers’ deficit to 13-9 with consecutive wins, but Paratore (160), Alex Slaybaugh (170) and Connor Breit (182) each won convincingly to extend the Golden Knights’ lead to 28-9.
“I came into it thinking that I was going to wrestle (defending section champ) Chris Kim, but I wrestled (Tom Jachemczyk),”said Breit (pictured to the left), who is a key member of a strong freshmen class. “I was a little disappointed, but I just went out there and wrestled.”
Kim picked up a pin at 195 pounds, but forfeits at 220 and 285 doomed Edgemont.
“That definitely hurts the most,” Aslanian said of the forfeits. “It changes the whole dynamic of the match sometimes. When the lighter weights know that we can’t win the match, I feel like it affects some of the younger kids.”
Aleif Ahmad (99) and Karl Burnich (106) each followed with wins for Nanuet, before the Aslanian brothers – Kyle (113) and Tyler (120) – finished off the dual meet with consecutive wins for the Panthers.
Along with Breit, Ahmad and Burnich, the Golden Knights’ starting lineup includes a total of six freshmen with Kevin Lynn (113), Dylan Mateo (120) and Jarrett Bravo (195).
“Last year, we had three (eighth graders) moved up, so that was a big help,” Breit said. “It was me, Kevin Lynn and Dylan Mateo, so us three have a lot of experience. And now I feel like this big class of freshmen is really going to help towards our senior year.”
Nanuet 49, Edgemont 24
126 – Joe Dillon (Nan) pin Jon Fleischmann, 1:24. 132 – Eric Boyle (Nan) dec. Max Worobow, 9-2. 138 – Chris Lowery (Nan) maj. dec. Brian Evans, 12-1. 145 – Cliffton Wang (Ed) dec. Chris Rooney, 8-1. 152 – Will Graybeal (Ed) pin Frank Tito, 3:33. 160 – Frank Paratore (Nan) pin Saumil Kothari, 2:27. 170 – Alex Slaybaugh (Nan) maj. dec. Marc Ficuciello, 8-0. 182 – Connor Breit (Nan) tech. fall Tom Jachemczyk, 17-1. 195 – Chris Kim (Ed) pin Jarrett Bravo, 3:47. 220 – Dennis Van Dunk (Nan) by forfeit. 285 – Max Rabinowitz (Nan) by forfeit. 99 – Aleif Ahmed (Nan) pin George Mellor, 0:08. 106 – Karl Burnich (Nan) dec. Chris Eppolito, 4-2. 113 – Kyle Aslanian (Ed) pin Kevin Lynn, 1:37. 120 – Tyler Aslanian (Ed) dec. Dylan Mateo, 6-0.
Here are some additional thoughts and reactions, with links to match videos:
• It’s difficult not to be impressed with what Nanuet is able to do year-in, and year-out. Coach Carmine Serra has developed a program that seems to be immune to down years. Despite all of the big names that were lost to graduation, the Golden Knights knew that they had guys who were ready to step right in and fill roles. “Last year, we had a really strong lineup,” Breit said. “But we were drilling with those people, so we’re just about as good.”
• I was a bit surprised not to see Tyler Aslanian (pictured to the right) bump up to wrestle his nemesis Dillon after losing to him on this same stage last year, but Nanuet also has a returning sectional-placer in Mateo at 120. If Tyler had bumped up, Edgemont would have been at risk of losing at both 120 and 126, so by keeping him at his natural weight, the Panthers made sure that they would get at least one win in those two matches. “I was going to let my coach make that decision,” Tyler said. “I wasn’t scared of Joe Dillon. I think I could beat him, too. My focus was, whoever I have, I’m going to win and do the best that I can.”
• Dillon ended up with a quick pin at 126, and then Boyle won a critical swing match with a 9-2 decision over Max Worobow at 132. He had an eight-point lead late and almost got the major, but a last second escape from Worobow kept it to a decision. “The swing matches were really important because they could have went either way, but our kids came out on top and did what they needed to do. The lead helped out a lot because it took a lot of pressure off,” Paratore said. “If we have the lead, we’re not letting anything up.”
• An up-and-comer for Edgemont who has been making a name for himself early in the season is Wang. He got the Panthers’ their first win of the dual with an 8-1 decision over Chris Rooney at 145 pounds. “The two guys who are stepping up are Brian Evans and Cliffton Wang,” Aslanian said when I asked about guys who are off the radar. “I think both of those kids could do damage at sectionals. Both are arguably two of the top wrestlers in the section (in their weight classes).”
• Out of everyone in that tremendous freshmen class for the Golden Knights, the guy who I think has the most upside is Breit. He obviously has the pedigree—his older brother Dan Breit won an Eastern States title last year and finished fourth in the state—and he’s extremely strong and agile for his age. He was hoping to get a crack at Kim, but settled for a 17-1 tech fall against Jachemczyk at 182 pounds. I asked him if it’s tough following in his brother’s footsteps. “A little bit, but it’s also helpful because he knows a lot of stuff,” he said. “He helps me out. My brother was moved up as an eighth grader and I’m moved up as a freshman, but hopefully I can still do just as much as he did.”
• With forfeits coming from Edgemont at 220 and 285, Breit’s win sealed another title for Nanuet. The matches in the lower portion of the dual were meaningless in terms of team scoring, but I had a chance to get my first look of the season at the Aslanian brothers. Kyle (pictured to the left) looked very sharp with his first-period pin of Lynn at 113. “I feel really good about where Kyle is at,” Tyler said. “I think he’s at a high level in the state. I think he could win states this year, (but) I’m a little biased.”
• Tyler had a bit of a tougher match at 120 against Mateo, but a takedown in the final seconds of the first-period put him in the driver’s seat on his way to a 6-0 decision. Still, Tyler was hard on himself when we spoke. “Honestly, I think I have to keep improving,” he said. “I didn’t think that I wrestled well in this match.”
• I’ll give the final word to Paratore, who spoke about the importance of winning the swing matches—and gave the blog a little shout out. “Our underdogs came out on top. I saw the (LoHud Wrestling Blog), and a good amount of us were projected to lose. A lot of those kids came out on top when they really needed to,” he said. “We had 10 seniors last year, but all of those (freshmen) are coming up and doing what they need to do.”

Preheat oven to the highest temperature. Halve the focaccia horizontally and place one half on work top. Cut round slices of tomato. Slice mozzarella cheese.
To make Tomato Mozzarella salad, arrange the tomato slices and some of the mozzarella slices on a serving platter overlapping each other. Drizzle a little olive oil and serve. To make the pizza, spread half the tomato paste on a focaccia half.
Arrange half the slightly crushed onion slices over it, top it with half the red and green capsicum strips, half green and black olives. Sprinkle a little salt and arrange half the remaining mozzarella slices.
Drizzle a little olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Similarly make the second pizza. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

Things we learned from the latest two-hour installment of The X Factor: Nicole Shirthanger realizes she’s not L.A. Reid or Simon Cowell — she’s sorry about that! — but she’s a really hard worker. Paula Abdul “represents everything a woman wants to be” (at least according to a spelling-challenged member of all-female vocal act 2SQUAR’D who has never heard of Marie Curie, Madeline Albright, Mother Teresa, or countless other powerful ladies who’ve graced our humble planet with their presence). And there’s nothing ominous — nothing ominous at all! — about a middle-aged man in a shirt unbuttoned down to South America reclining in the backyard of his French countryside mansion while lithe young women sing and dance for his pleasure.
Oh, and one more thing: The X Factor might seriously turn out to be appointment television — whether or not you’re resistant to the idea of devoting four hours per week at its altar from now through Christmas.
Indeed, after two weeks of surprisingly spotty auditions, followed by two Boot Camp episodes that were essentially the emu to the ostrich of American Idol‘s Hollywood Week, The X Factor is finally finding its voice. Night 1 of the “Judges’ Houses” round found our four panelists inviting to “their homes” the eight acts remaining in their respective categories, then asking them to perform songs on their impeccably manicured lawns, in the hopes that one more listen would help them winnow the overall X Factor field from 32 down to 16. (Bonus factoid: Judges choose which songs the contestants sing.)
Hang on one sec… We interrupt this recap for a promotional interlude with our lovely X Factor host. (Yes, X Factor has a host; dont be like that!)
Where in the world is Steve Jones? He’s visiting the Eiffel Tower! He’s a tall and chiseled form in a jaunty “NYC” t-shirt set against Manhattan skyline! He’s a comforting pillow to soak up bitter tears from former Skid Row resident Dexter Haygood! He is not, for perhaps the first time in seven episodes, hitching a ride across the United States in an 18-wheeler! Congratulations, Steve! Keep asking those Fox overlords to give you more to do — and I don’t just mean fetching coffee for L.A. and Paula while exchanging bitter, commiserating texts with Cheryl Cole.
But enough about all the ridiculata! Now that we’ve given you enough filler to pad a two-hour recap, let’s talk about the Talent (intentional upper-case). For Night 1 of “Judges’ Houses,” we saw performances from half of each judges’ eight remaining acts. Let’s take a closer look at each category from most- to least-promising:
Simon in France without Mariah Carey (Girls Under 30)
Attention, America! While Hurricane Irene unleashes her fury on your Eastern seaboard — and leaves Mariah Carey without transport to her X Factor debut — Simon Cowell is baking his torso on a yacht off the coast of France. Some stars are not just like you! And this star, in particular, has a bench so deep I kind of wish Fox would detonate the “Groups” category, split the eight “Girls Under 30” between Simon and Paula, and allow all eight to make the live shows.
Drew “Someone (in a Crisp White Shirt With Missing Buttons) Should Get Shanked if She Doesn’t Advance” Ryniewicz
Thursday, October 13, 9:55 pm ET: The precise moment at which The X Factor hooked me for the season. Or rather, the precise moment at which Drew (pictured, left) delivered a controlled, aching rendition of Roxette’s “It Must Have Been Love” that outshone the original, and was without a doubt the best vocal performance ever given by a teenage girl sitting in a deck chair next to an inground pool. I don’t know how a 14-year-old had the emotional capacity to do what Drew did, but thanks to her devastating delivery, I can no longer rail against X Factor‘s under-16 age limit, nor can I mock Nicole for responding to any future performances with a single tear running down her cheek.
Simone “She’s Facing an Uphill…” Battle
If Simone makes the live shows — and based on her stripped-down, emotionally connected take on the Beatles’ “Help,” she just might — it’ll be interesting to see how far she can go. After all, her persona contains none of the “Oh I can’t believe this is happening to me/ Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this” wide-eyedness that America values in female reality show competitors, but not so much in its pop stars. Plus, she’s inclined to wear outfits like a black bathing suit with sheer, black skirt by Spanish Brothel*. If nothing else, Simone might serve as a template for competitor Stacy Francis on how you can belt a note without beating it into submission. Simone’s rich, vibrato-free howl reminds me a little of ’90s dance diva Lonnie Gordon, and I mean that in the best possible way. (* not a real label)
Caitlin “Probably Too Subtle for Primetime” Koch
I’m worried that Caitlin — one of my faves from the audition rounds — only ranks No. 3 on my Thursday-night list, and there are still four more “Under 30 Girls” left to sing on Sunday night’s episode. Simon was right that this likable rugby player has amazing phrasing and tone, and I loved that you could see her emotions blazing in her eyes as she gave a languid, sensual take on “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” No matter which four ladies advance in this category, the cuts are going to be hard to accept.
Tora “Paging the Fashion Police” Woloshin
Tora was kidding about struggling with the lyrics to the Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction,” right? I mean, it’s only got, like, 10 words. Either way, the sassy auto mechanic had to contend with the least organic track of any contestant in her category, which played a little jarringly in the scenic confides of Simon’s back yard. There’s no doubt the girl has a solid voice and a surplus of charisma, but if she hits the live shows, here’s hoping she encounters a stylist who can warn her against the dangers of matching a pair of red boxer briefs with a denim shrug-vest situation and a leather v-shaped cleavage cover that seemed to teleport directly from the set of Cher’s “if I Could Turn Back Time” video.
Nicole in Malibu with Enrique Iglesias (The Over 30s)
People over 30 apparently have a theme song, and believe it or not, it’s Whitney Houston’s “So Emotional.” Yes, the old and the weathered, the folks who like Julio Iglesis’ son have seen it all, faced rejection, and still have the courage to bailamos, are not afraid to cry. A lot. On national television.
Elaine “Throw a Gospel Hand” Gibbs
Elaine’s gotten precious little screen time over four weeks of X Factor — maybe because her backstory of becoming a wedding singer “for stability’s sake” doesn’t pair that well with “Fix You” or “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” — but her voice creeps up on you like a lion in tall grass: Stalking, stalking, stalking, stalking…until suddenly it pounces and absolutely slays you. That satisfied mmm-hmm and head shake Elaine gave at the end of Oasis’ “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” said it all, and if you didn’t understand it, it loosely translates to “live rounds, here I come!”
Stacy “Oh No, She’s Crying Again” Francis
Stacy Francis (pictured, right) is a conundrum because she’s absolutely everything a reality competition contestant is supposed be: Incredibly hungry. Incredibly talented. Just waiting to finally catch a break in this damned and difficult world. Fighting such obstacles that she had to borrow her dress and shoes to go to the Judges’ Houses round. And yet, all of these things have to be used like a perfume: Just give us a hint, a subtle spray that lingers in our minds. Don’t trap us in the elevator with the wretched excess of an entire bottle beating down our nasal passages. At this point, Stacy’s shtick is 10 gallons of drug-store body spray: Impassioned speech. Tears. Rivulets of mascara. Note that lasts longer than a Lee DeWyze record contract. Yes, her take on “Purple Rain” was powerful and clear, but the only thing I felt during her “I just don’t want it to end right here” speech was annoyance. And I fear Nicole is not the kind of judge who’ll tell her to rein that nonsense in.
James “I’m Not Cannon Fodder, Really!” Kenney
I enjoyed his brief and rocky rendition of Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette,” but let’s face it, this dude is getting the “don’t get attached!” edit. Also, just for the record, you can’t say you “work five jobs” and then include being a husband and father on said list. Otherwise I’m updating my resume to include the title Chief Sauvignon Blanc Inspector.
Dexter “Oh No, Now He’s Crying Again, Too” Haygood
Nicole really needed a t-shirt to express her feelings about this audition: “I wanted to hear ‘Crazy in Love,’ but all I got was a full plate full of crazy.” I mean, I didn’t hear a single word of Beyonce’s R&B classic, just a wilted word salad delivered with James Brown-lite hoo-hah. Why do I get the feeling that X Factor producers have cast Dexter for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the meltdown that will happen when his “journey” comes to an end?
L.A. Reid in the Hamptons with Rihanna (Boys Under 30)
It’s not crazy that I’m convinced L.A. is the only judge who used his own estate as the setting for “Judges’ Houses,” is it?
Brian “Putting the ‘Ass’ in Astro” Bradley
Am I a terrible person for using profanity in my description of a bespectacled kid with an anti-bullying message and headphones around his neck who made Rihanna go “awww”? Yeah, probably. But if this kid makes it to the live shows, part of L.A.’s mentoring process has to include grounding him for two months without the use of his Playstation. I mean, really, you meet Rihanna and immediately boast you’ll be collaborating one day? (Reality check: delivering room service to Rihanna’s hotel will not technically count as a collaboration.) Still, objectionable personality aside, there’s no denying Brian showed incredible skill in his delivery of an age-appropriate version of Diddy’s “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down.” I may even have bopped my head a little, even if I understand L.A.’s question of whether the kid is just a novelty.
Phillip “Putting the ‘Feh’ in Affected” Lomax
Even as I type this, I’m having a hard time accepting that Phillip gave my second-favorite audition from L.A.’s group on Thursday. Or, rather, I should amend that to say he gave my third least-favorite performance from L.A.’s group Thursday night. I mean, yes, I appreciated that he tried something different with a jazz-ballad rendition of “Please Don’t Stop the Music,” but Phillip is ultimately a facsimile of what a crooner should be: There’s an artificiality to his delivery that makes it seem like he watched 100 hours of Sinatra and Martin and Connick and Buble to best assimilate all their mannerisms and define a market niche for himself. Plus, based on the rough patches he hit in his upper register, I’m not sure dude has all that much range, y’know?
Nick “I Can’t With That Eyebrow Situaysh” Voss
L.A. said he’d heard Nick give better performances than his sparse, mostly falsetto rendition of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” but I’d actually say this was his least terrible vocal to date. Nick was mostly in tune, and the verses were actually kind of pretty. And yet, at the same time, there’s something so contrived about Nick’s whole act — his pleading facial expressions, the overwrought way his voice swells when he’s trying to “get emotional,” the fact that he dresses like he’s auditioning to be an extra in a Duran Duran video — that I cannot imagine he’ll wind up being among the four best under-30 guys in The X Factor‘s inaugural season.
Skyelor “Why Does the Spelling of His Name Always Make Me Think of Skeletor?” Anderson
Awww, now this is the kind of polite, adorable teenager who should have his cheeks pinched by his aged aunties after he performs a song or three at family barbeques and holiday get-togethers. Which is my roundabout way of saying he’s no $5 million act.
Paula in Santa Barbara with Pharrell (Groups)
Oh dear. The groups. Let’s be brief about these, shall we? Also, was anyone waiting for Paula and Pharrell to suddenly interrupt their motivational speech to the groups and yell, “The ones eating the cupcakes are out!” No? Okay, just me.
The Brewer Boys (Who Could Potentially Sell a Lot of Records)
“Good is sometimes the most damn difficult place to be,” said Paula, trying to misdirect the audience at the end of the teenage brother act’s nifty rendition of “Only Girl in the World,” which felt like a peculiar (but not in a bad way) blend of folk, dance, and world music. But why try to create a false sense of “will they or won’t they make the live rounds” when these two kids — Nathan, 14, and Justin, 17 (pictured, center) — have more talent in their well-conditioned hair than the night’s other three groups have in all their bodies combined? After Paula and Pharrell questioned the Brewer Boys’ potential, a heated convo began in my living room:
Me: What? Come on! They were much better than those four country chicks!
Hubby: Um, they were much better than Rihanna, too.
The Anser (Will Not Be Accepted Until It Is Spelled Correctly)
Their rendition of Pink’s “Perfect” went from “decent” to “kind of a mess” by the time this trio lost their way on the chorus, but while they’re no Vicci Martinez-Niki Dawson, they weren’t too bad, either. Which, in the groups category, will probably be enough to crack the live rounds.
Lakoda Rayne (Cherokee for “Four Chicks Secretly Plotting to Murder the Other Three”)
“We’ve grown like sisters
who want nothing more than to be on TV,” said the one whose name I think is Dani of this band of wannabe solo acts glued together with tears, desperation, and a wardrobe resembling a quartet of streetwalking extras from Pretty Woman. Aside from the air-point choreography, there was nothing memorable about Lakota Rayne’s countrified take on “Born This Way,” and weirdly, while none of the four individual voices stood out in any way, none of them blended particularly well together, either.
4Shore (They Are Not Going to Win The X Factor)
Oh my word, this quartet’s booty-slapping-in-the-square choreography wasn’t just Color Me Badd, it was color me awful! Plus, dude with the long hair really needs to stop taking the lead vocal. But if there’s a positive to be found in 4Shore’s audition, let it be that everyone reading this article checks out the solo work of Kina Cosper, lead singer of one-hit wonder Brownstone, the act behind 4Shore’s track “If You Love Me.” (Hear Kina’s stuff here, here, and here.)
What did you think of Judges’ Houses round? Who’s your favorite so far? Which acts should be barred from the live rounds? Sound off in the comments, and for all my reality recaps, follow me on Twitter @MichaelSlezakTV!

Weight loss supplements are not highly recommended by nutritionists, especially if they claim they are easy and fast, but there are some great super foods that can do the trick and boost your weight loss.
A recent study on a group of 16 adults who took green coffee bean in their diet for 12 weeks showed that they have lost 17 pounds each, which is 16% of their overall body fat, without any side effects reported and this is very exciting information that can make it an incredible weapon against obesity.
The key to such great results is not the caffeine because it naturally does not have much any way, but the key is an important active compound called chlorogenic acid. This key inhibits the release of glucose in your body while boosting the burning of fat or metabolism.
There are amazing things we can say about natural green coffee bean; it is an effective appetite suppressant, potent fat burner, working quickly, increasing in focus and energy, not to mention its prices are affordable and it is not a stimulant; it does not make you nervous or raise your heart rate like the usual coffee.
If you think you can get the same results from the coffee you drink in the morning, actually you cannot. Roasting coffee beans removes the amazing ingredient of chlorogenic acid, and green coffee beans are not roasted; that is why it is extremely bitter but if it comes to your health, then “bitter is better”. It is recommended that you take its extract in capsules; one about 30 minutes before meals and you will see the difference.

Hello my dear Health Fighters,
it’s been a while since I’ve posted some sexy, delicious, colourful, and mainly, super healthy recipe that would brighten the mood of your mind and tummy. This time, I went for a purely vegetarian recipe which is colourful enough to paint smile on your face; difficult enough to taste more deservedly; healthy enough to make your tummy dance and sing “Hey, Hey Hippie” from joy; and charming enough to flirt with all of your senses.
Get your ladles and kitchen apron ready and let’s get started 🙂
What do you need?
6 Bell Peppers
1 Small Zucchini
½ cup of chopped parsley
1 cup of quinoa
½ cup of cashews
150-200g baby spinach
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 red onion
And don’t forget about one of my most favorite ingredients which I add to every recipe – music. Because stuffed peppers are mainly part of the cuisine of the south and east Mediterranean and Middle Eastern region of the world, I chose one of my favorite Turkish songs that perfectly fits to the preparation of this wonderfully rich recipe.
How to prepare?
1. Cut red onion into tiny cubes
2. Cut carrots, mushrooms and zucchini into cubes
3. Wash baby spinach
4. Chop spinach
5. Chop parsley
6. Meanwhile, rinse quinoa in a fine sieve until water runs clear, drain and transfer to a medium pot.
7. Add 2 cups water and salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.
8. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until transparent, 8 to 10 minutes
9. Add carrots and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes more
10. Add chopped tomatoes, parsley, spinach and cook until just softened
11. Add salt, pepper and cashews and cook 1 to 2 minutes more and meanwhile preheat the oven to 350°F/175 C.
12. Add quinoa to the veggie mixture
13. Divide quinoa mixture evenly among remaining 6 bell peppers, gently packing it down and making sure to fully fill each pepper. Top each pepper with its reserved top then arrange them upright in prepared pan.
14. Lightly oil the peppers in the pan and cover them with foil
15. Let’s jump to the oven. Check them halfway through, until they are tender and juicy and filling is hot throughout. It should last around 1 hour and twenty.
16. Serve them hot and enjoy this little veggie heaven on your plate. Your kitchen will smell like never before.
Make you and your friends happy with this delicious recipe! And wait…..make me happy too by letting me know how it went 🙂
By then, Have a Great and Healthy start of the week!
Recipe Insiration: Here
Looks soooo yummy!! I love your photography! 🙂
I love stuffed peppers, will have to try this, without the nuts though, I can’t eat those.
Reblogged this on The No Salt, No Fat, No Sugar Journal and commented:
I’ve stuffed peppers with quinoa but this adds some nice extras. I’d leave out the nuts though, I can’t eat them.
What lovely colors! Looks delicious too.
Wow!! This screams health. And looks amazing too 🙂
