Marathon Recovery Techniques
I wrote an article for Running Times magazine a few years ago about recovering quickly from a marathon. I have been asked by some to repost that article for others to read. And look at that, I was talking about eating beef long before I began working with various beef councils across the United States!
A marathon-a-week runner reveals his short-term recovery secrets
Dane Rauchenberg
Having run a marathon, you should be able to kick back for a few weeks and enjoy some downtime, right? However, by the same token, if you've just trained hard and run a 26.2-miler, chances are you're not of the type who enjoys resting on your laurels.
In addition, it only takes so many "How long was this marathon?" comments from well-meaning NRFs ("Non-Running Friends") to remind you why you go on a run to avoid them in the first place.
So what to do? Even the most ardent multiple marathon runners know that the body has just been put through the metaphoric ringer and rest is needed. But that knowledge does not satiate the desire to lace up the shoes and hit the roads/trails/treadmill as soon as possible.
In 2006, I ran a full marathon every weekend. As such, I underwent a self-imposed crash course in recovery techniques using myself as the guinea pig. While most runners will not need to know how to get from one 26.2-miler to the next in a single week, that does not lessen their desire to recover and feel like a runner again. Therefore, I have taken what I learned to offer up four recovery techniques to help get you out running again.
Go For a (Short) Run
What and why: We have all heard how you should keep moving and not sit down immediately after finishing a marathon. I feel this theory extends to the next few days as well. Providing gentle blood flow to sore areas not only helps bring nutrients that heal into the muscles, but also assists in moving out the waste products and damaged tissue, and that serves to reduce post-race soreness. While work obligations and the normal life I led during the weekdays in 2006 took its toll on me, I know I never would have made it through the year if I had not been out running, even if just for 15 to 20 minutes at a snail's pace, the day after each and every marathon.
More insight: Jim Hage, a 2:15 marathoner and one of only two men to win back-to-back Marine Corps Marathons, attests to a primary recovery method called "Hair o' the Dog." While he agrees rest is vitally important, he believes getting back out there is important, too. "It's a major psychological boost to keep moving rather than atrophy mentally and physically. Sort of like having a cold; I generally feel worse if I give in and feel sorry for myself."
One of Marathonguide.com's top marathoners of 2006, Mike Aldrink of Columbus, Ohio, concurs. Moreover, the psychological boost he receives from not remaining sedentary is quite high, even if he only goes for a short, slow jog.
Plus: Remember, Dick Beardsley went for a nice easy run the day after his infamous Duel in the Sun with Alberto Salazar at the scorching 1982 Boston Marathon.
Take An Ice Bath
What and why: The basic theory of an ice bath is that the freezing water will constrict the blood vessels in your legs, reducing swelling. Once you leave the icy coffin and warm your legs, the ensuing blood flow will deliver fresh oxygen to the muscle cells, helping the cells repair the damage done from the exertion during the race. I personally do not subscribe to the idea but it definitely works for some.
More insight: Even more important than scientific research is real-world applicability. Renowned ultramarathoner Lisa Smith-Batchen swears by the ice bath as the quickest way to allow her to feel like a runner again. For someone who has run the 135-mile Badwater race through Death Valley, climbed 14,505-foot Mt. Whitney, turned around and run back again, her words deserve credence. Despite the benefits, she admits getting into a cold bath isn't exactly comforting. "To be honest, it is so hard for me to just jump in the ice bath," she says. "I personally sit in the bath and start with luke warm water and then run only cold water until the bath is cold."
Plus: Terrell Hale, a sports massage therapist in Rockville, Md., who worked on athletes in the 2004 Athens Olympics, also prescribes a dip into an ice bath "as soon as possible after a marathon" as one of the quickest roads to recovery.
Eat Right
What and why: Whether you are a multiple-finisher or a first-time survivor, the urge to scarf down lots of yummy but horrible food is almost too much to bear. And, to some extent, you have earned the right to do so. But remember, the body is in desperate need of repair after the rigors of a marathon and its immune system is at its weakest. So eating a gooey cheeseburger and French fries from a fast-food restaurant or munching down a full bag of Doritos isn't the best thing you can do for yourself. You will recover best by giving your souped-up engine the proper fuel it needs.
More insight: Don't let up on your carb intake just because you're done with the marathon. Your body needs to refuel and rebuild cells in the hours and days after the race, so eat plenty of whole grains and fruits and vegetables. But also be sure to take in adequate amounts of protein -- from meat, fish, dairy products, beans, soy or legumes -- to help repair broken down muscle fibers. Also, focus on foods and juices high in potassium, such as bananas, orange juice, milk, raisins, baked potatoes or squash, and try to replace your electrolyte losses with a few sodium-rich foods.
Plus: Ultrarunner Dean Karnazes says that two things which really help him are to supplement his already healthy diet with Arnica montana (oral tablets; not rub) and to rehydrate using a recovery drink with a high carb/protein ratio such as Accelerade.
Get a Massage
What and why: Getting a quick rub-down immediately after finishing a marathon feels great, but getting a sports massage 24 to 48 hours after your run will help flush your body of the excessive amounts of lactic acid and muscle waste that your body continues to produce in the hours and days after your marathon. It's hard to know for sure whether I would have done all 52 marathons at the pace I did in 2006 without them, but I know they helped immensely. I have come to realize massages are not just a "treat" but are a necessity to good health and fast recovery.
More insight: Make sure the masseuse knows not to rub too deeply. The muscles in your legs are already tender as it is and a deep-tissue massage may do more harm than good. Hale suggests regular massage throughout a training cycle. Not only does massage facilitate greater recovery and help prevent injury, but the training schedule of each individual runner will inform how and when the massage is done.
Plus: The combination of consistent massages and day-after jogs got me through the year. The massages
helped repair the damage done to my body and the short runs helped keep me sane. Without both, I sincerely doubt my endeavor would have been as successful as it was.
Will these things work for you? Hopefully, but remember that no two runners are the same, so the best way to find out what works for you is to experiment. That's what I did, and for me, the proof was in the end results. When all was said and done, I averaged 3:29 per marathon for the first half of the year and sped up to a 3:13 for the second half -- all while my PR was 3:07.
I guess if running is the addiction, I don't want the cure. I just want to make sure I recover properly so I can keep at it.

BVI loses 2-0 to Anguilla on the A.O. Shirley in their opener to the World Cup Qualifiers
July 17, 2013 by bvioc
The BVI lost 2-0 to Anguilla last night, Tuesday July 16, 2013 as both teams opened their Caribbean Football Union/FIFA Women’s U20 qualifying Tournament campaigns on the A O Shirley Ground.
Having withstood some early pressure, the BVI’s defense was split open in the 10th minute by a pass from midfield that Roxanna Bradshaw latched onto, controlled and then took a touch before sliding it home past the diving Brittany Peters in goal.
Ebony Fahie, battling away in midfield, launched the first home attack with a ball that was played over the top, a tactic that was used too often during the game and with too little success. On this occasion and with legs still fresh, Kezia Gumbs chased it down, slipped past a couple of defenders and with the small crowd leaping to their feet in expectation was unfortunately only able to hit her cross at the keeper.
Most of the first half action though was in front of the host’s goal and thankfully Peters was in good shot stopping mode and had Tahirah Bascombe with Joi Ann Thomas playing solid in defense to back her up.
The BVI’s most successful passage of play came deep in the first period when a series of corners and throw ins had Anguilla scrambling more than once, but the final ball was lacking and the lines were cleared.
The second half was much the same as the first with Anguilla looking the more likely to score and so it proved when Tamisha Richardson slipped through the defense. Her first shot was well saved by Peters, but the rebound fell kindly for the striker and she made no mistake second time around.
Anguilla could have and probably should have scored a few more goals in truth, but at the final whistle, the BVI Coach Kate Rowson could at least take some positives from the game whilst having much to improve upon.
“The result hasn’t gone our way, but I have to say there were some really disappointing bits, especially with the basics, but also I’m pleased with the effort, the organization and the positions, but don’t get me wrong, we have lots to work on and two tough games coming up,” Rowson said.
Coach Kate wouldn’t be drawn on the “over the top” tactic as opposed to playing on the ground, but did comment that it would be discussed. Additionally she pointed out that “we need to look at the game. We didn’t make enough passes or have enough play making. We were trying to play the ball in the air which was the reason why we didn’t put together the passes and we need to sort that out.”
The day’s first game had seen St Kitts and Nevis beat Antigua 4-0 with the Girls red putting on a classy show especially when the ball was at the feet of Phoenetia Browne down the right hand side or Brittany Lawrence down the left.
It took Browne just 4 minutes to supply the cross that unlocked the Antigua defense. Her ball evading two Antigua defenders and finding its way to Janae Pine, who took a touch and calmly slotted home past Mahiah Benta in the goal.
Several half chances went begging at either end, but then on 36 minutes, a delightful corner from Lawrence was met by Kerisha Powell and the lead was doubled.
In the second half Lawrence and Browne were pulling Antigua all over the field. Powell went narrowly wide with a header, Pine just failed to get a touch on a Lawrence cross and then Powell had the best chance to make it 3 when she followed up on a free kick from Lawrence which bounced over the keepers head and then back of the post, but the striker failed to get a clean strike on the ball and instead found herself in the back of the net.
Pine eventually made it 3 in the 75th minute and then to cap off a great all round performance Lawrence slotted home from the penalty spot to make it 4 -0.

EVGENY KISSIN PIANO RECITALS MARK 3 YEAR PAUSE IN US APPEARANCES
RUSSIAN-BORN MASTER OF ROMANTIC REPERTOIRE IN QUASI- 'FAREWELL' US TOUR DRAWS RECORD CROWDS
Photo: Hiroyuki Ito/New York Times
NEW YORK--Evgeny Kissin is appearing at Carnegie Hall in two sold-out recitals this week, the first pianist to perform dual concerts there in a single week since Vladimir Horowitz in 1979. His first performance brought record attendance, prompting the seating of more than a hundred lucky patrons onstage. An encore performance will be heard on Friday, November 6 at 8pm. For more information, visit carnegiehall.org.
Evgeny Kissin's program of Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms and the Spanish composers Albeniz, Larregla and possible encores of Granados, will be heard at Chicago's Symphony Center Sunday, November 15 at 2pm. For information, visit cso.org.
In his Carnegie Hall performance, the enthusiastic audience literally enveloped onstage and off as he strode onstage before the capacity crowd. He got directly to the business at hand, delivering a concise reading of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata in C Major. His deft fingering layed out the playful opening melody with a light touch that allowed him to gently increase its intensity. Accompanying themes grew more defined in the left hand as the first movement, Allegro moderato unfolded.
The most exquisite moments were to follow in the Andante cantabile in which he allowed the central theme to literally sing forth, filling the acoustically perfect space with the most celestial of sounds. The Allegretto literally danced beneath his lithe touch, which ended with a graceful flourish.
Kissin seemed most at home with Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, appropriately named "Apassionata." Kissin found the beating heart of this masterpiece of the Romantic piano repertoire. There was long and artful development of the central thematic line of the Allegro assai, building to a crescendo that burst, then faded like fireworks against a nighttime sky. Andante con moto was more dance-like with spirited movement, just as Beethoven intended. Again, Kissin's strong fingers brought forth the light quick-step of the melody while conveying a sense of the dramatic elements to follow. He pulled out all the stops in the final movement, Allegro ma non troppo (fast, but not too fast), was Kissin's opportunity to showcase the full dynamic force of his playing. At first restrained, building the increasingly complex thematic material in the left hand, while executing beautifully embellished cascading arpeggios in the right. It all erupted in a dazzling display of virtuosic prowess.
Following the interval, Kissin bore his Romantic soul in Johannes Brahms' Three Intermezzos. His contemporaries referred to them as a "fountain of pleasure....filled with "poetry, passion, rapture and heartfelt emotion." Kissing summoned forth all that and more in his performance. He leaned forward, hovering above the keys as if listening patiently for the soul of the music's creator to speak to him. The emotions he conjured forth were thusly heartfelt. There was a bittersweet quality to his playing that almost brought one to tears.
Isaac Albeniz' tone poems Granada, Cadiz, Cordoba and Astorias are the Spanish composer's version of tone poems, evoking the sights and sounds of his homeland. Awash in impressionistic tonal brush-strokes, Kissin used his considerable skills to paint a musical portrait as only he can do.
The ensuing encores of fellow Spanish composer Enrique Granados; Quejas o la maja y el ruisenor, Andaluza and Brahms' familiar Hungarian Dance, No. 1, had them figuratively dancing in the aisles as the happy and satisfied audience made its way toward the exits.
This program repeats Friday, November 6 at 8pm at Carnegie Hall.

Well, this is stupid
Kenya is about to destroy 270 million dollars worth of ivory. That is an incredibly stupid thing to do. They should instead sell the ivory and use the proceeds to fund anti-poaching efforts. By destroying the ivory, they are reducing the supply, which drives up the price, which encourages more poaching by making it more lucrative.
I fully understand the visceral revulsion at state-sponsored distribution of ivory. It kind of feels analogous to the government selling seized stockpiles of heroin or cocaine. But ivory isn't like heroin. It's not addictive. People don't need regular fixes of elephant tusk. Ivory is a Veblen good: people want only it because it's rare. Increase the supply and demand will go down, along with the price. Do this long enough and you might even depress the market to the point where you bring about a generational change and make the demand for ivory disappear entirely.
In fact, there is even an argument to be made that governments should actively sponsor the harvesting of elephant tusks (and rhino horns)! It turns out that it is possible to harvest these things without serious harm to the animal. Poachers don't do it because it's a lot harder than just killing the animal, but if governments did it they could use the proceeds to fund the activity.
In a perfect world, no one would want ivory or rhino horn, and these animals could just live in peace. But we have to deal with the world as it is, not as we would like it to be. In this world, the elephants that created the tusks that the Kenyan government is about to destroy are already dead. Destroying their tusks is not going to help them, nor will it help the elephants that are still alive. Quite the contrary.
Clever ideas! I didn't know about the possibility of regularly harvesting ivory as a "renewable" resource. Brilliant!
In general, it's hard to mix economic and moral reasoning. The moral position is: no trade at all in ivory! The economic position is: flood the supply to lower the price and lower the demand on living animals. It's surely hard to get the international community to rally around a topic with conflicting intuitions.
Heh, thanks! Here's a slogan: trying to fix the poaching problem by outlawing ivory is kind of like trying to solve the obesity crisis by making it illegal to be hungry. :-)
Prohibition doesn't work. Never has. Never will.

You might enjoy the episode of Radiolab (http://www.radiolab.org/story/rhino-hunter/) which deals with this topic. It exposed me to the idea that the only reason wild animals are not extinct is due to sport hunting. The statement seemed obviously false when I first heard it but by the end of the podcast it seemed reasonable.
The episode also includes some discussion from Richard Leakey who was the director of wildlife for Kenya and he makes a case for destroying poached ivory. I'd be curious to hear your disagreements with his arguments.

Kamaiyah Is Back With “Diving Timing”
Kamaiyah taps Sada Baby, Da Boii, and more for “Divine Timing.”
Kamaiyah’s been putting in work over the past few months. In September, she teamed up with Capalow for her project, Oakland Nights then followed it up a few months later with No Explanation. While it’s hardly been six months since the release of her last solo album, she’s evidently coming through with some serious vibes this summer. The Oakland rapper slid through with her new album, Divine Timing earlier today. It’s a seven-song EP that includes the previously released single, “F.W.I.” ft. Da Boii. Additionally, Kamaiyah also connects with Detroit’s Sada Baby for the intro track and later taps Cash Kidd for “Play Too Much.”With a run-time of a little over 15 minutes, Kamaiyah has plenty of bops to ride out to in the months ahead.

Q Poll: Ned And Dick Lead By 15 Points
October 25, 2022 LennieGrimaldi National Politics, News and Events, State PoliticsNo Comments
The needle hasn’t moved for Republican Bob Stefanowski with two weeks remaining to election day. The latest Q Poll reflects results of other samplings giving Governor Ned Lamont a 15 point lead. Same For U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal over Trumper Leora Levy.
From the Q Poll:
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont maintains a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski 56 – 41 percent in the race for governor, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters in Connecticut released today.
This is essentially unchanged from a September 21st Quinnipiac University poll when Lamont led Stefanowski 57 – 40 percent.
There is a wide gender gap. Women support Lamont 64 – 33 percent. Among men, 51 percent support Stefanowski, while 46 percent support Lamont.
Roughly 6 in 10 likely voters (57 percent) have a favorable opinion of Lamont, while 36 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Nearly 4 in 10 likely voters (39 percent) have a favorable opinion of Stefanowski, while 42 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 17 percent say they haven’t heard enough about him.
“Governor Lamont appears to be in a stronger position facing Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski than he was back in 2018 when they were locked in a tight race. Then, Lamont won by 3 points. This time around, he’s looking at a double-digit lead and the first gubernatorial race since 2006 that hasn’t been close,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Doug Schwartz.
SENATE RACE
As Senator Richard Blumenthal seeks a third term in the U.S. Senate, he leads his Republican challenger Leora Levy 56 – 41 percent. This is largely unchanged from a September 21st Quinnipiac University poll when Blumenthal was ahead of Levy 57 – 40 percent.
As with the gubernatorial race, there is a wide gender gap. Women back Blumenthal 64 – 33 percent. Among men, 51 percent back Levy, while 46 percent back Blumenthal.
Fifty-four percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of Blumenthal, while 41 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Three in 10 likely voters (30 percent) have a favorable opinion of Levy, while 37 percent have an unfavorable opinion of her, and 31 percent say they haven’t heard enough about her.
“Not only does Republican Leora Levy have the formidable task of taking on a popular Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator in blue Connecticut, but about 3 in 10 likely voters say they haven’t heard enough about her to express an opinion,” added Schwartz.
MOST URGENT ISSUE
Asked to choose the most urgent issue facing Connecticut today, inflation (37 percent) ranks by far as the top issue among likely voters followed by taxes (13 percent).
Among Republicans, inflation (56 percent) ranks first followed by taxes (15 percent) and crime (11 percent).
Among Democrats, inflation (24 percent) ranks first followed by abortion (14 percent) and climate change (13 percent).
Among independents, inflation (41 percent) ranks first followed by taxes (16 percent).
JOB APPROVALS
Job approval ratings for Connecticut elected officials…
— Governor Ned Lamont: 58 percent approve, while 37 percent disapprove;
— Senator Richard Blumenthal: 55 percent approve, while 41 percent disapprove;
— Senator Chris Murphy: 54 percent approve, while 36 percent disapprove.
Forty-eight percent of likely voters approve of the way President Joe Biden is handling his job, while 49 percent disapprove.
TRUMP FAVORABILITY
Thirty percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of former President Donald Trump, while 62 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
1,879 Connecticut likely voters were surveyed from October 19th – 23rd with a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Doug Schwartz, Ph.D. since 1994, conducts independent, non-partisan national and state polls on politics and issues. Surveys adhere to industry best practices and are based on random samples of adults using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling landlines and cell phones.

Moira man saved from icy Park waters
The rescue is underway as the Park Rangers reach out for stranded Terry Edwards.

A MOIRA man was pulled to safety from the icy waters of Lurgan Park lake last week.
Onlookers feared the worst as Terry Edwards ended up falling into the lake after trying to rescue his two dogs last Wednesday.
The man looked to be a goner until two council employees - Adrian McStraw and Paul Donnelly - sped to his rescue, crawling out over the ice and using a rope to tug him out of the water and back onto the ice.
The incident happened at around 2pm last Wednesday with the majority of the park lake frozen over by sub-zero temperatures.
An eye witness said:': "The dogs must have went out onto the lake after the ducks. The man ran and grabbed a lifebelt to go after them but he only put it under one arm.
"There were boys shouting at him not to go in. He must have got to the edge and the ice must have give way.
"The cord from the lifebelt was a mile short. The two boys who rescued him had to join together two other ropes before going out.
"I thought for sure the boy had had it. He made one effort to get his leg up onto the ice and that was his last kick. He'd no more energy after that."
The onlooker continued: "The two boys got on their tummies along the ice. They kept moving until they got to the end of the mans rope.
"Then they tied their two ropes onto his rope and pulled him out. They trailed him along the ice to the edge.
"By that time the fire brigade and ambulance had arrived. They wrapped him up in silver foil and took him away in the ambulance.
"I reckon he was in that water for 10 to 15 minutes. The two dogs he'd gone to rescue were running round him while he was in the water."
"If those boys hadn't been on their dinner the man would have drowned because there was nobody else there who could save him."
Terry recalls how walk in the Park turned into a nightmare
Terry Edwards has Adrian McStraw and Paul Donnelly to thank for saving his life.
The 59-year-old Moira man's body had gone numb in the sub zero temperatures of the park lake and he'd told his rescuers he was going to drown.
But Adrian and Paul didn't give up hope and eventually were able to drag Terry to safety with the help of the emergency services.
Minutes before the drama civil servant Terry had been enjoying a walk in the park as he does every day. He was accompanied by two Cocker Spaniels - his own dog Buddy and his son's dog Holly.
"I was coming down from the back of the gatehouse," recalled Terry, a grandfather of two young children.
"The two dogs ran in front of me and ran out on the ice to the ducks. When she (Holly) got to the edge the ice gave way. I was coaxing the dog to get out but it wasn't working. My own dog did exactly the same thing. I didn't know what I could do.
"I lifted the life buoy and went out on the ice. I slid out a bit still holding the buoy. I got down
flat and got to the edge. The ice cracked and I went in. I was close enough to the dogs to get them out of the water."
Terry continued: "I was fully submerged up to my neck and I had my arms out of the water. Only the life buoy was keeping me up."
Terry, who has plenty of experience scuba diving, said: "I've never experienced temperatures like that.
"I was worried about my body temperature. I could no longer feel the cold, my legs and body were numb. I had two more attempts to hoist myself up. They were pulling on the rope to help me and I got one leg up on the ice. When I was on top I knew I was okay."
He added: "My body temperature was 31 when I got to the hospital. The only part of me that came out dry was my hat. I was four hours in the hospital because I was suffering from hypothermia. They could only bring my temperature up a degree every hour."
Terry said: "I came back down to the park the next day because I'd people to thank. I'm very grateful for what they did."

There's no denying the Pixel 4 XL has one of the best cameras around, but its shortcomings don't justify its high price. Instead, consider the Note 10 or the OnePlus 7T. The Pixel 3 XL is another great candidate and is discounted at $600 now.

Low RAM and storage for the money

Ultimately, there's a lot to love about Google's new Pixel 4 XL and the smaller Pixel 4 as well, but like most things in life there are trade-offs to consider here. Hats-off to Google for continuing to innovate with Motion Sense, great new camera features and technology (as well as shot quality), and top-notch general performance as always with a whistle-clean Android 10 OS setup. And there are further refinements and features forthcoming for Pixel 4 / 4 XL early adopters as well. As is typically the case with Google Pixel devices, you'll also get the latest Android software and platform innovations before virtually any other Android device manufacturer, if you decide to rock a Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL.

New methods for more energy-efficient internet services
Mina Sedaghat has developed techniques and algorithms to manage and schedule the resources in these large data centres atmore efficiently and with a lower environmental impact.
The billions of people using internet services worldwide require huge data centres resulting in an enormous energy consumption. In her doctoral dissertation at Umeå University, Mina Sedaghat has developed techniques and algorithms to manage and schedule the resources in these large data centres at a lesser cost, more efficiently, more reliably and with a lower environmental impact.
Korean pop-video, Gangnam Style, available on YouTube has had 2.5 billion viewers, which results in a power consumption of more than 400 GWh. If, in worst case, the electricity to serve such a demand is generated by diesel, it would mean that more than 250,000 tons of CO2 would be produced, which is equivalent to over 100,000 cars per year.
These examples are not uncommon. Millions of people are using different services such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, every day. This increase in internet usage and the information generated by nearly one billion people entails large data centres with row after row of servers, requiring huge amount of space, electricity and cooling.
The dissertation introduces methods and techniques to efficiently use the servers in the data centres, so that load can be served with fewer resources.
What technology can be used?
"It could be optimised scheduling systems packing several software components into a few servers in a way that makes full use of processors, memory, bandwidth, network capacity and other resources. In this way, energy efficiency can be improved reducing the negative environmental impact, and at the same time reducing operational costs," says Mina Sedaghat.

US Mueller Politics Analysis (Lon NR)
AP Analysis: At the end of the Mueller process
Adam Schiff , Robert Mueller , Donald Trump , Eric Swalwell , Jerrold Nadler , Nancy Pelosi , Jair Bolsonaro , Michael Cohen
Elaine Kamarck, of the Brookings Institution says "we're pretty much at the end of this process" as she discussed the next steps in the special prosecutors Russia probe.
Kamarack, Senior fellow in the Governance Studies program as well as the Director of the Center for Effective Public Management , said on Tuesday that "The only thing that really seems to remain is whether or not the president himself is guilty of some crimes and do those crimes constitute in the minds of the members of Congress, high crimes and misdemeanors."
In a related story The Associated Press reports that President Donald Trump has been calling the Russia probe a witch hunt for two years.
But now, Trump and his allies are starting to see it as something potentially very different: a political opportunity.
Trump has grown increasingly confident that special counsel Robert Mueller's report will produce no clear evidence of a conspiracy between Russia and his election campaign.
A change is also underway among congressional Democrats, who had believed the report would offer damning evidence
Kamarack says "We're at a point where this is about to move unless there's some you know smoking gun. This is this investigation is about to move from the legal to the political and there the Democrats are going to have to decide do we move forward with impeachment."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Elaine Kamarck, Senior Fellow Brookings Institution:
"It's not often that a president is subject to a special counsel and that means often that the findings of a special counsel could lead to something very dramatic like impeachment. Or it could just turn out to be a bunch of nothing. And so everybody was interested in this. Everybody was excited about it. The president himself was furious about it. But this is a big deal. We don't generally have investigations like this of sitting presidents."

"The only thing that really seems to remain is whether or not the president himself is guilty of some crimes and do those crimes constitute in the minds of the members of Congress, high crimes and misdemeanors, which is the constitutional issue for impeachment, and so we're sort of down to the end game here. I mean it looks like there was a rapid string of indictments, trials, etc. It's possible that one or more of the president's children or in-laws could get indicted but it's, we're pretty much at the end of this process."
5. Trump speaking
"The issue, though, is did the House and Senate, did the intelligence committees when they were controlled by Republicans ignore important pieces of evidence? The Democrats think they did. And so the Democrats will have to start their own investigation. They may find nothing as well."

AG Barr, Senate Dems spar over Mueller report
William Barr , Robert Mueller , Kamala Harris , Donald Trump , Richard Blumenthal , Hillary Clinton , Amy Klobuchar , Cory Booker
Private tensions between Justice Department leaders and Robert Mueller's team broke into public view in extraordinary fashion Wednesday as Attorney General William Barr pushed back at the special counsel's "snitty" complaints over his handling of the Trump-Russia investigation report.
Testifying for the first time since releasing Mueller's report, Barr said he was surprised Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether President Donald Trump had tried to obstruct justice, and that he had felt compelled to step in with his own judgment that the president had committed no crime.
Barr was also perturbed by a private letter Mueller sent him last month complaining that the attorney general had not properly portrayed the special counsel's finding.
Barr called the note "a bit snitty."
"I said 'Bob, what's with the letter? Just pick up the phone and call me if there is an issue,'" Barr said.
The airing of disagreements over the handling of the report followed Mueller's two-year investigation into Russian interference to help Trump in the 2016 campaign and the possibility that Trump's team conspired with the Russians.
During most of the investigation, the Justice Department and Mueller's team seemed to be unified in approach.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been anything but unified.
And their partisan divide was on full display during Wednesday's contentious Judiciary Committee hearing, which included three Democratic presidential candidates.
Some Republicans, in addition to defending Trump, focused on the president's 2016 Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton's email and campaign practices and what they argued has been a lack of investigation of them.
Democrats, for their part, moved to exploit the daylight between Barr and Mueller to attack the attorney general's credibility and accuse him of unduly spinning the special counsel's report in the president's favor.
Barr sought to minimize the rift by suggesting the special counsel's concerns were largely about process, not substance.
Barr's appearance gave him his most extensive opportunity to explain the department's actions, including his news conference held before the Mueller report's release.
Barr has also been invited to appear Thursday before the Democratic-led House Judiciary panel, but the Justice Department has said he would not testify if the committee insisted on having its lawyers question him.
Neither side broke much new ground Wednesday on the specifics of Mueller's investigation, though Barr did articulate a robust defense of Trump as he made clear his firm conviction that there was no prosecutable case against the president for obstruction of justice.

"We right now have a new normal in our country. We have a document that shows over 200 hundred attempts, connections between a presidential campaign and a foreign adversary sharing information that would be illegal if you did it with a super PAC. We know that. (Barr: What information was shared?) The polling data was shared sir. It's in the report I can cite you the page. (Barr: With who?) And I guess my point here is is that your willingness to seem to brush over this and use words like the American people should be grateful. What's in this report? Nobody should be grateful."

Umm, I wouldn't I wouldn't.
Harris: Yes or no.
Could you repeat that question?"
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kamala Harris, Democrat - California:
"I will repeat it. Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone? Yes or no please sir?"
"The president or anybody else.
Harris: Seems you'd remember something like that and be able to tell us.
Yeah but I'm trying to grapple with the words suggest. I mean there have been discussions of of matters out there that they have not asked me to open investigation but ...
Harris: Perhaps they've suggested?
I don't know, I wouldn't say suggest.
Harris: Hinted? Inferred?"
"Is in reaching your conclusion did you personally review all of the underlying evidence?"
"No. We took and ...
Harris: Did Mr. Rosenstein?
No we accepted the statements in the report as the factual record. We did not go underneath it to see whether or not they were accurate. We accepted it as accurate."
"As the Attorney General of the United States. You run the United States Department of Justice. If in any U.S. attorney's office around the country, the head of that office when being asked to make a critical decision about in this case the person who holds the highest office in the land and whether or not that person committed a crime, would you accept them recommending a charging decision to you if they had not reviewed the evidence?
Barr: Well that's a question for Bob Mueller. He's the U.S. attorney. He's the one who presents the report.
But it was you who made the charging decision, sir? You made the decision not to charge the president."

"In a pross (process) memo and then a declination memo.
Harris: You said it was your baby, what did you mean by that?
It was my baby to to let to decide whether or not to disclose it to the public
Harris: And whose decision was it? Who had the power to make the decision about whether or not the evidence was sufficient to make a determination of whether there had been an obstruction of justice?
Prosecution memos go up to the supervisor, in this case it was the the attorney general and the deputy attorney general who who decide on the final decision."
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat - Minnesota:
"Mr. Attorney General, on April 27th President Trump stated 'Mueller, I assume for 35 million dollars he checked my taxes and he checked my financials.' Is that accurate? Did the special counsel review the president's taxes and the Trump Organization's financial statements?"
"I don't know.
Klobuchar: Can you find out if I ask later in a written question?
I, yes or you could ask Bob Mueller when he comes here.
Klobuchar: OK I'll do that too."
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Democrat - Connecticut:
"In fact in response to your question 'why not just pick up the phone,' this letter was an extraordinary act. A career prosecutor rebuking the attorney general of the United States, memorializing in writing. Right? I know of no other instance of that happening. Do you?"
"I don't consider Bob at this stage a career prosecutor. He's had a career as a prosecutor.
Blumenthal: Well, he's a very eminent prosecutor.
He was the head of the FBI for 12 years.
Blumenthal: He's a career a law enforcement professional, right? Yeah I know of no other instance of ...
But he was also political appointee and he was a political appointee with me at the Department of Justice. I don't know the letters a bit snitty and I think it was probably written by one of his staff people."
"Did you make a memorandum of your conversation? Did you make a memorandum"
Barr: I didn't.
Did anyone, either you or anyone on your staff memorialize your conversation with Robert Mueller?"
"Yes.
Blumenthal: Who did that?
Barr: There were notes taken of the call.
Blumenthal: May we have those notes?
Barr: No
Blumethal: Why not?"
Barr: Why should you have them."

US House Russia Investigation (Lon NR)
House GOP: Obama FBI 'prejudged' Trump's guilt
Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump , George Papadopoulos , Mark Meadows , John Ratcliffe , Robert Mueller
Republican congressional members say their meeting with former Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, backs up their belief that partisan bias has affected investigations at the Justice Department.
"These facts continue to lend themselves to the narrative that there were folks in the Obama FBI and Justice Department that prejudged Hillary Clinton's innocence, and prejudged Donald Trump's guilt or involvement with the Russian government and potential collusion," said Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe was one of a few lawmakers who attended an interview on Thursday with George Papadopoulos on Capitol Hill. Congress is currently on recess in the weeks before the November election. Republican and Democratic staffers were also in the room.
Papadopoulos, who triggered the Russia investigation, made his first appearance Thursday before congressional investigators.
Papadopoulos was sentenced in September to two weeks in prison as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, was meeting in closed session with two GOP-led House committees. It is one of several interviews the GOP-led House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform panels are conducting as part of their investigation into partisan bias at the Justice Department.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian intermediaries during the 2016 campaign. Since he was sentenced, he has been eager to talk publicly. He has spent many nights on Twitter, along with his wife, venting anger with the FBI and implying that he was set up in the investigation.
Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign policy adviser to Trump's campaign, has been a central figure in the Russia investigation dating back before Mueller's May 2017 appointment. He was the first person to plead guilty in Mueller's probe and the first Trump campaign adviser to be sentenced. His case was also the first to detail a member of the Trump campaign having knowledge of Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election while it was ongoing.
According to a sweeping indictment, Russian intelligence had stolen emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign and other Democratic groups by April 2016, the same month Papadopoulos was told by the professor, Joseph Mifsud, that Russian officials had told him they had "dirt" on Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails." According to a New York Times report last year, Papadopoulos then told the Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, who tipped off the FBI.
Democrats have said the GOP investigation is an attempt to discredit Mueller's investigation.

House Republicans Seek 2nd Special Counsel

A group of conservative House lawmakers are calling for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate whether misconduct took place in the FBI and the Justice Department.
The move follows a White House announcement that top FBI and Justice Department officials have agreed to meet with congressional leaders and "review" highly classified information the lawmakers have been seeking on the handling of the probe.
The agreement came after President Donald Trump made an extraordinary demand that the Justice Department investigate whether the FBI infiltrated his presidential campaign. It's unclear exactly what the members will be allowed to review or if the Justice Department will be providing any documents to Congress.
During a meeting Monday with Trump, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray also reiterated an announcement late Sunday that the Justice Department's inspector general will expand an existing investigation into the Russia probe by examining whether there was any improper politically motivated surveillance.
Rep. Devin Nunes, an ardent Trump supporter and head of the House Intelligence Committee, has been demanding information on an FBI source in the Russia investigation.
And Trump has taken up the cause as the White House tries to combat the threat posed by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.

2. SOUNDBITE (English): Rep. Lee Zeldin, (R) New York:
"Good morning everybody and thank you for coming out. We have at least 19 members of Congress who will be introducing today a 12 page House resolution detailing misconduct at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. It will be outlining FISA (US Foreign Intelligence Survaillance Court) abuse. How and why the Hillary Clinton email probe ended and how and why the Trump-Russia probe began. This resolution also calls for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate the gross misconduct with the understanding that the Justice Department cannot be expected to investigate itself. It's very important to note that the ranks of the DOJ and FBI are filled with amazing patriotic Americans who love their job, take their oath seriously and perform their jobs objectively with much respect for the rule of law. These are historic, legendary agencies that require transparency and accountability regarding the misconduct that took place. It is important for these exceptional public servants and these important agencies to continue their work moving forward stronger than ever before. As the resolution states, the concerns of the American people are serious and the issues requiring an immediate, unbiased, independent and thorough investigation are broad. In just the past few days, we learned that the DOJ, FBI or both appeared to have planted at least one person into Donald Trump's presidential campaign to infiltrate and surveil the campaign. This action alone reminds us of just how necessary this resolution is, as well as the appointment of a second special counsel."
3. Wide of news conference
"In conclusion, I would just like to point out that while many in the media and American public have been trying to bring down the president without evidence the president Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. There is a ton of actual evidence of real misconduct that those same people had been attempting to completely sweep under the rug. I believe legal scales of justice, that no one is above the law. That includes anyone regardless of last name and that even includes people at the highest levels of the DOJ and FBI, especially when misconduct is committed in the performance of their duties while trying to take down elected officials and candidates. No official at the Justice Department can ever allow their own political bias to overwhelm their own objectivity and responsible performance of their duties. A second special counsel must be appointed and transparency and accountability is demanded for these great, legendary historic agencies. With that we are confident that these great agencies will be able to move forward stronger than they ever were before."
6. SOUNDBITE (English): Rep. Mark Meadows, (R) North Carolina/Freedom Caucus Chair:
"Even today, we continue to see leaks come out of the Department of Justice and FBI, spinning a narrative that quite frankly is not supported by the facts. So it's time that we get to the facts. It's time that we appoint a second special counsel."

GOP Senators Mixed Reaction To Special Counsel
Pat Toomey , Ted Cruz , Robert Mueller , Donald Trump , Michael Flynn , Richard Burr , Lindsey Graham , John McCain
Senate Republicans have mixed reactions to the surprise announcement that the Justice Department has appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as a special counsel to oversee a federal investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016.
The Justice Department on Wednesday appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller to lead the investigation. Mueller will have sweeping powers and the authority to prosecute any crimes he uncovers.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr who considered the appointment as a good decision said that ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will not honor a subpoena issued by a Senate committee looking into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Burr told reporters Thursday that Flynn's lawyer informed the panel he will not abide by a subpoena for private documents.
President Donald Trump lashed out at the appointment of a special counsel to investigate allegations that his campaign collaborated with Russia to sway the 2016 election, tweeting Thursday that it is "the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!"
Reactions from Congress to Mueller's appointment were mainly positive, even though Republicans had dismissed an independent outside investigation as unnecessary and duplicative of what congressional committees already are doing.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican chairman of the Armed Services Committee, says it's a "scandal" of Watergate proportions, and the only way to end it is to get out the full truth.
Republicans have largely stood behind Trump in the first months of his presidency as the FBI and congressional investigations into Russia's election meddling intensified. But GOP lawmakers have grown increasingly anxious since Trump fired Comey, who had been leading the bureau's probe - and after Comey associates said he had notes from a meeting in which Trump asked him to shut down the investigation into the Russia ties of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Washington - May 18, 2017
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Richard Burr, (R) North Carolina:
"General Flynn's lawyer said that he would not honor the subpoena and that's not a surprise to the committee. But we'll figure out on General Flynn what the next step, if any, is. But we're continuing on with a lot of interviews and through those interviews it leads us to additional document requests and additional individuals we'd like to talk to."
"Director Comey is a public citizen now. He's not constrained by investigations and we think the most important thing that Director Comey can contribute now is an understanding by the American people of what transpired. We happen to think that an open hearing in front of the intelligence committee is the right way for him to do it since we've worked so closely with him and we respect him so much."
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R) South Carolina:
"Clearly foreign governments could interfere in our election, they did this time. They may be more successful next time. So the shape and the scope of the congressional investigation I think has dramatically changed. I respect the decision. Mueller is a good guy. But one of the big losers here is the public because we're not going to hear from Comey now most likely. I hope we do. I want to hear about the conversation. I want to know the context of it. But now that you have a special counsel, maybe that's off the table."
"I'm disappointed in many ways that the Congress may be taken out of the game now because we're a public venue. I thought Yates and Klapper were good. I thought Sally Yates was an excellent witness. I thought Klapper provided insight to the public that we all need to know, you know. It's our nation here. So hearings like that are probably now off the table, and too bad."
"I have reason to believe there may be emails between the Clinton campaign and Democratic officials and the Department of Justice during the Obama administration. There is a problem here with committee jurisdiction. If there were emails from the Clinton campaign of the Democratic operatives to the Department of Justice during the Clinton email investigation, I want to know about it."
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Ted Cruz. (R) Texas:
"I don't think appointing a special counsel was necessary. But if one was going to be appointed, I think Bob Mueller is an excellent choice. I've known Bob for two decades. And he is a serious law enforcement professional. He's someone who has been appointed positions by both Republicans presidents and Democratic presidents. And he's earned the trust on both sides of the aisles, from Republicans and Democrats. He is a fair minded, serious prosecutor. He led the FBI with great distinction. And I'm confident that he'll investigate the matter and follow the facts wherever they may lead."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. John McCain, (R) Arizona:
"In the respect that there is a new revelation almost everyday, like this morning there's a new revelation that there was more communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians in that respect that there is a new revelation every few days."
(Reporter question off camera): "How does the appointment of a special counsel change that?'
(McCain): "I think it's very important, but that is the investigate the criminal activity. The Senate and the House have to investigate the aspects of Russian activity from the standpoint of sanctions against Russia, what we do to counter these attacks, and all the aspects of cyber warfare."
SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Patrick Toomey, (R): Pennsylvania:
"Well my opinion of Bob Mueller is that he's terrific, completely unimpeachable in all respects and widely recognized as such by everybody. I never really was convinced that this is the best way to go. We have in the past when we've used special prosecutors and special counsels it hasn't always ended well. My view was always that the president should move quickly to get a completely unimpeachable leader of the FBI, preferably a Democrat so that there would be no doubt that that organization is being run by somebody who has no allegiance to Donald Trump."

"The shape and the scope of the congressional investigation I think has dramatically changed. I respect the decision. Mueller is a good guy. But one of the big losers here is the public because we're not going to hear from Comey now most likely. I hope we do. I want to hear about the conversation. I want to know the context of it. But now that you have a special counsel, maybe that's off the table."
"I don't think appointing a special counsel was necessary. But if one was going to be appointed, I think Bob Mueller is an excellent choice."
"There is a new revelation almost everyday, like this morning there's a new revelation that there was more communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians in that respect that there is a new revelation every few days."

General, Important
The Grand Re-Opening of LITTLE ISLAND COMICS!!
February 21, 2018 Jarrett Samson
Art by Steve Manale
The Beguiling Books & Art is proud to announce the return of
The world’s first and only comic shop exclusively for kids!
Little Island Comics is BACK!!! Offering the widest possible array of graphic novels, manga, and comics for people 12 years old and younger, Little Island celebrates its Grand Re-Opening during March Break 2018 with a slate of creator appearances, refreshments and activities– with a sale to jumpstart your library of great comics for kids!
When it opened in 2011, Little Island served thousands of young readers, grateful parents, enthusiastic educators, and cool aunts and uncles for five years until the original Mirvish Village location closed due to redevelopment. During that time Little Island was more than a retail destination — it was a local hub: a venue for comics-making classes and teacher/librarian sessions, and hosted many book launches and events with kid-lit luminaries like Tomi Ungerer (The Three Robbers), Kate Beaton (The Princess and the Pony), Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet) and Jon Klassen (We Found a Hat).
“Little Island has proven to be a key part of The Beguiling’s business overall,” says proprietor Peter Birkemoe. “I’m thrilled to once again devote space where kids and parents can learn, read and start loving comics. And we really missed giving our youngest customers the specific attention they deserve.”
“Little Island Comics responded to the public’s continuing need for specialized books shops as points of discovery, interaction, and creative community,” Little Island Comics manager Andrew Woodrow-Butcher adds. “It’s a bricks-and-mortar success story!”
A year after closing its previous Mirvish Village location, Little Island Comics re-opens in March next door to its parent shop The Beguiling’s newly expanded location at the top of Toronto’s vibrant Kensington Market neighbourhood. As The Beguiling enters its fourth decade as North America’s premier comic book retailer, the move to College Street has allowed it to add a gallery and events space, which Little Island will share.
Little Island Comics will be staffed by the same team that worked at the previous location, who also work for The Beguiling’s Library Services business, which has been helping school and public libraries curate their comics collections for more than 15 years. Comics as a medium has become a mainstay of educational library collections in the last decade, and parents and educators will appreciate the expert help in selecting titles that address curriculum objectives, learning challenges, and a wide variety of reading levels. Kids will appreciate the engaging visual storytelling in some of today’s most popular books for young people!
Little Island will offer a 20% discount on all in-print kids comics, picture books, and graphic novels throughout March Break (March 10-18, 2018) to encourage families to dig into graphic novels! The week will culminate in a Grand Re-Opening Party on Saturday, March 17th, with refreshments, drop-in activities, story time, and appearances by such creators as:
Scott Chantler (The Three Thieves series)
Naseem Hrab (Ira Crumb Makes a Pretty Good Friend)
Brian McLachlan (Draw Out the Story)
Ryan North (Adventure Time, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl)
Kean Soo (March: Grand Prix, Jellaby)
Britt Wilson (Cat Dad, King of the Goblins)
Tory Woollcott (Mirror Mind, Science Comics: The Brain)
…and more! For details on the line-up for the Grand Re-Opening, please follow Little Island Comics on Facebook and Twitter (@littleislandcmx) and visit our website: http://littleislandcomics.com
We’re VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS and we hope you are too!!

Review: Painted Hands
Painted Hands by Jennifer Zobair
Genre: Adult Fiction
Pages: 336 (Hardcover)
Muslim bad girl Zainab Mir has just landed a job working for a post-feminist, Republican Senate candidate. Her best friend Amra Abbas is about to make partner at a top Boston law firm. Together they’ve thwarted proposal-slinging aunties, cultural expectations, and the occasional bigot to succeed in their careers. What they didn’t count on? Unlikely men and geopolitical firestorms.
When a handsome childhood friend reappears, Amra makes choices that Zainab considers so 1950s—choices that involve the perfect Banarasi silk dress and a four-bedroom house in the suburbs. After hiding her long work hours during their courtship, Amra struggles to balance her demanding job and her unexpectedly traditional new husband.
Zainab has her own problems. She generates controversy in the Muslim community with a suggestive magazine spread and friendship with a gay reporter. Her rising profile also inflames neocons like Chase Holland, the talk radio host who attacks her religion publicly but privately falls for her hard. When the political fallout from a terrorist attempt jeopardizes Zainab's job and protests surrounding a woman-led Muslim prayer service lead to violence, Amra and Zainab must decide what they’re willing to risk for their principles, their friendship, and love.
The Namesake meets Sex and the City in this engaging and provocative debut novel about friendship and the love lives of American Muslim women.
I could not put this book down. It was so amazing and I loved everything about it. It's during these times, where it's so hard for me to write a review because I don't want to give anything away and there are so many thoughts buzzing in my head.
We follow Zainab and Amra, two Muslim American women caught in the middle of two cultures because both cultures struggle with the idea of a person belonging to more than one culture at the same time. Zainab struggles because she doesn't know where she fits in. While she is a role model to some, she's the epitome of what's wrong to others. But before she can get too comfortable, she's reminded that she doesn't completely fit even when she has love and respect. Amra hasn't had a problem fitting in until she sees her happily-ever-after just within her reach. She fears if she doesn't stay true to her roots, she'll lose everything. But does she have to give up her dreams and is that still happily-ever-after if she does?
Gah! There's so much more that this book is about, but I can't go on and on. The book isn't solely through the point of views of Amra and Zainab as my description suggests, but dives into many affected persons. I loved how the characters struggled with very real very difficult decisions that had no real answers. I loved all the characters even though I found Hayden to be a tad bit creepy. I loved all the grey areas. I've only mentioned the women but the men are complex and as well. I had a love/hate relationship with them. All the characters seemed like real people. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. There were so many moments when I had to pause to bask in the eloquence. It was truly wonderful.
This one book has made Jennifer Zobair an auto-buy from now on.

"This one book has made Jennifer Zobair an auto-buy from now on." I don't think you can have a higher compliment than that!
Thanks for being on the tour. I'm featuring your review on TLC's Facebook page today.

This looks like a book I would be into. LORD! Stop adding to my TBR list. LOL! I am never going to get to it in my life time. Honestly, if every author stopping writing books for ten years I would still have a HUGE TBR list.

At present in Spain the monarchy is currently coming under sustained attack, particularly from people with regionalist interests to secure. However it is more than that - a wider debate with protests and gatherings happening throughout the country and pictures of the king being burnt in public by students. The quintessential question is, of course, ‘why do we have a monarchy’ and it’s got so bad that the king has actually gone public with a defense of why he matters:
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1668731,00.html
I have to say that I am in sympathy with the sentiment. I am, without reserve or apology a committed anti-royalist, not based predominantly on the people who occupy the slot in the tiny irrelevant time-slice we call our existence (although I will have no problem with pointing out why they illustrate precisely what is wrong with the ‘institution’) but with the institution as a whole.In England, the origins of Kings of states (with the lowest ‘s’ possible being quite deliberate) were of course regional factionalism and straight forward fighty-fighty behaviour over utterly random aggregations of territory which bore closest resemblance, sort of, to our current counties. The King of This or the King of That or all the alternative titles, of course, now mean nothing to us at all these days. Whether they were regional barons, earls, dukes or kings of whatever bit of the country they declared ‘theirs’ and expanded and lost over centuries in a serial fashion it is now just irrelevant other than as a bookmark in history.
So back then, kings or queens were simply the highest title of the most powerful leaders of the time, particularly in a military sense because without an army of blokes who could slap the other king / earl / duke / whatever down, there was little chance that you were going to be the king / earl / duke / whatever of even your own privvy next week.In other words the origin of monarchy is simply territorial one-upmanship which related to beating the shit out of people. In the UK’s case, the origins of the current monarchy are even more bizarre than a straight intra-country series of twat-punchery. We have no straight line which explains A begat B begat C within the UK without seeing multiple countries get in on the rumble as well. Our history is littered with interventions and invitations to foreign monarchs coming over and ‘assuming’ the role of monarchy and –natch as our yank brethren would say- the subsequent fighting over regional territories.
If you would like to spell it out, the history of the monarchy (even in some sort of consolidated sense) is a bunch of people from Wessex, then the Danes who invaded, the Western Saxons who restored shit, the Normans from france who shot arrows in peoples eyes and stuff, the Plantagenets who were also French, a weird bit of fucking around with the Irish (we’re up to about 1141 now), people from Lancaster who had been pooning people from Yorkshire, then the people from Yorkshire who pooned the Lancastrians who had previously been pooning them, a short intervention by people who were distinctly Scottish, a brief period of sanity for 11 years with no King, more Scots, the fucking *dutch* or Hanovers since that was different sort of but not much, a marriage to a german in the name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Victoria in case you’re lost) and then a rebranding of the royal’s surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor because it was a place, like, during a time the germans were fucking us over briefly – and lets face it the germans knew how to pick a losing fight in the 20th century – during WWI.So….. total fucking farce….right?
No continuity other than the precedent of the last bunch had overthrown the previous bunch. Now of course, despite this, it was astonishing what could be accepted as ‘right’ to rule, not least the inestimable fear brought about by total utter religious belief and the concept of the ‘divine right’ of kings. No matter that the lot in your irrelevantly brief time slot of existence hadn’t been in place that long, the ‘divine right’ of kings made them of a god-like status. There are fantastic versions of how the populace couldn’t even look towards a king even in the 1700’s out of the sheer awe for their status.
These days, when your future king is on audio record as wanting to the tampon (no seriously I’ll link it if you have forgotten) of his mistress while he was cuckolding his pretty but incredibly dim and messed up wife, I simply don’t know why we have them at all. As I’ve established, there’s no coherent sense of history as to why they are here and I frankly find it incredibly intellectually embarrassing that a nation of largely decent people go and prostrate themselves before a bunch of no-chins in front of the world. I don’t buy tourism (republics like the US and France get tourists), I don’t buy any rational (we’ll do irrational in a sec) argument to tradition either (what tradition - it’s a bunch of disconnect peons twatting each other) and I despair of what it says about us as a nation that people swear allegiance to the queen instead of their country on getting a passport. And I despair that we put this current lot of sloane-rangers on a pedestal and pay for their incredibly privileged lifestyle. There is some sense of tradition there, considering all the flag wavers of the Queen’s double jubilee but that would be so much better re-directed at pride in the country, not pride in a bunch of over privileged and distinctly, evidentially not very bright people who, imho, might (some of them) give good service to a country (hey I bet a lot of people could do a fuck load better given that comfortable cushion and service behind them tho) but have no logical basis in being there at all.
Thirty years ago the Sex Pistols sung possibly the most ironically held lyric ever in ‘God Save the Queen’. The BBC banned it so as not to ‘spoil’ the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Such petty, unthinking, slavish devotion was unbecoming then (I mean they said ‘God save the Queen, she ain’t no human bein’ – how fucking *radical* was that) but today the general basis is even more unexplicable. Whatever they are protesting in the streets of Spain today, I hope we get our own version too......
Labels: TalkThought
There is actually a limited use for royalty, we kinda need them in the western world to see just how fucked up things can be. And, it keeps the most retarded fucks at bay at the same time. Those sheep pretending to be human can worship some powerless inbred tards instead of a president. It actually works out fine.
And then one gets some stuff with it thats actually really good: Over here (sweden) they keep old historical buildings up with more of a duty interest rather than some tourist and/or lets save cash attitude, and thats kinda nice. Finally, after that tsunami hit thailand Tha King D00d just did everything right. Separated from a huge political fuckup he just calmed everything (hysterical women) down, with no status or political agenda he could just show up on tv, talk shit and become that supercool central daddyfigure sheep need to have to keep functioning in a time of crisis.
So from a basic human instinct kinda view i think there might be a use for em, just because they aint voted in and just because they sure as fuck dont deserve it. Its like a nations old grandfather kinda deal, a solid point removed from political battles and popularity.
I suppose in general I'm an anti-monarchist in principal but in the case of the UK, I see no reason why it should be swept aside. Well okay, I acknowledge a heck of a lot of what Am says here regarding the history and that keeping the British monarchy as some sort of nod to the past is ill-conceived. But that's not really what it's there for is it. It's there because some people like to look up to someone, someone who represents some kind of ideal, or the devotion to which is seen as a form of patriotic spirit. A symbol of the country if you will, which I think is fairly important given how few other symbols we have.
You say you don't buy the monarchy on the basis of tourism. I call hogwash. Sure the US and France has tourism but, you know, they have a few things on their side. The US has the most powerful worldwide marketing campaign in the history of the world, Hollywood. And it has, you know, a massive country of sights and sounds. France has a clear identity, culture and quite a nice bit of touristy warmer country as well. What does this country really have for tourism? Not a whole heck of a lot.
That said, we don't *need* the monarchy to hold on to it necessarily, we just need all the buildings and the traditional rituals and so on. But it definately helps.
Now as an Australian, I can tell you this scenario is much more curious in Australia because as I'm sure you're aware, the Queen is actually the Queen of Australia as well. Many politicians have stood up and lambasted how absurd this is in the modern age and that Australia can and should stand on it's own two feed as a republic. It's gone to referendum. The referendum was lost and there's been much analysis but really it boils down to the fact that no one saw the monarchy actually cause any harm and in fact it was view rather fondly.
Amusingly it's about the only thing about Australia that Americans appear to know, constantly showing up in American popular drama - hell the sniper in TF2 says God save the Queen! That's a bit of a shame but you know, fuck them.
The bottom line is you look at what you're proposing, an absolution of the monarchy. It'll have to go to a referendum because you're monkeying with the most basic laws of the land. It's going to cost a lot. It's going to cause a lot of bad feeling. It's going to distract from countless real issues. And in the end what will you have gained? You've basically binned a figurehead for the country, pretty much the only one, all on some idealistic whim.
And ironically you want to abolish the monarchy because it represents the ways of the past. Yet doesn't the fact it exists today inspire so many more people world-wide to learn about the history? If it's not there any more then it all becomes some sort of text book history, something guides whisper about as they show people around crumbling palaces. And surely any lessons that can actually be learned end up being so much the weaker.
You look at the republics in the world today. You can't tell me they're any better run. I'd say what we have shows that you can gradually alter for the better. It's interesting, don't you think, that most republics end up having a presidential figure, one who actually wields monarch-like power. Where the government of this country is uniquely democractically balanced.
I'd say to you, most simply of all, don't fix what aint broke.

The Latinx Community Resource Center (LCRC) is the oldest of CSUF’s ethnic centers spanning nearly five decades. The LCRC was established in 1972 as the Mexico & Southwest Collection Center to develop the University Library’s collection of Mexico and the Southwest regions. In the 1980s, the center’s name was expanded to the Chicano Resource Center . Due to the efforts of Latinx students, staff, faculty and the community, the CRC established a full-time Coordinator and became fully funded to expand research resources to Latinx students.
In the 1990s, Academic Affairs and Student Affairs agreed to share the funding of the center to expand resources and services. Throughout the 2000s, the center sponsored programs featuring prominent Chicanx/Latinx authors and artists. CSUF was designated a Hispanic Serving Institution in 2004, thus, our programming supports the recruitment, retention, and advancement of Latinx students, faculty, and staff. As the CSUF Latinx student population increases (undergraduates 43% and graduates 35%) the demand for the services provided by the center has risen.
In the 2010’s the name was expanded to the Chicana and Chicano Resource Center. In 2018, under the newly formed Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers, several ethnic and identity resource centers were united to operate in the same location in Pollak Library.
In May 2020, the center underwent a name change to reflect our commitment to recognizing the diverse populations we serve. This name expansion aligns with national trends on enhanced inclusion of vast identities our community holds with respect to gender identity and ethnic identity. As in previous years, a name expansion does not erase history, instead it allows for communities that are being served to feel valued. The Latinx Community Resource Center plans to preserve and celebrate its history while continuing to enhance inclusion to our Titan community.
This site is maintained by Latinx Community Resource Center.

Home Safety Tips Facebook, Google, Twitter and thousands more websites’ Login Protocols Hacked –There is...
Facebook, Google, Twitter and thousands more websites’ Login Protocols Hacked –There is not any FIX for that!
After the world’s biggest data breach ‘Heartbleed,’ a different vulnerabilty has been discovered that could have allowed hackers to attack on your personal data and steal that.
A security flaw in the OAuth and OpenID online login protocols could be used to steal data and redirect users to malicious websites, CNET reports.
This Flaw dubbed “Covert Redirect,” which actually affecting users as a login pop-up based on affected site’s domain, and today, in most cases we are using login pop-up like if we want to log-in into a website through facebook so usually a pop-up opens for Authentication ‘OAUTH.’
Most Important:
This Flaw is not similar like phishing in which you can watch out your URL carefully, actually in this “Instead of using a Fake domain name, Covert Redirect flaw uses the real site address for authentication.”‘
Authorising the app will transfer your data to the attacker instead of reaching a legitimate site like Facebook or Google. Thus, personal data including email addresses, birth dates, contact lists and even control of the account could be given to hackers.
How to protect yourself?
You must close any of the suspicious-looking tabs that pop up demanding login credentials for Facebook, Google, Twitter, or any other Internet Services that use these open-source protocols.
The Covert Redirect exploit has been discovered by Wang Jing, a Ph.D student at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore who already contacted Facebook about it. However, Facebook told him that while it “understood the risks associated with OAuth 2.0,” but fixing the bug is “something that can’t be accomplished in the short-term.” “Short of forcing every single application on the platform to use a whitelist,” a simple fix isn’t available.
Wang also contacted other popular sites like Google, Microsoft and LinkedIn, and each one giving him different answers.
Google: The matter was being tracked.
LinkedIn: it would publicly address it in a blog post.
Microsoft: We completed an investigation into the matter, and the security flaw has been discovered on a third-party site, not on one of its own.
WhiteHat Security founder and interim CEO Jeremiah Grossman agreed with Wang’s findings, but also with what Internet companies told him.
“While I can’t be 100 percent certain, I could have sworn I’ve seen a report of a very similar if not identical vulnerability in OAuth. It would appear this issue is essentially a known WONTFIX,” Grossman said. “This is to say, it’s not easy to fix, and any effective remedies would negatively impact the user experience. Just another example that Web security is fundamentally broken and the powers that be have little incentive to address the inherent flaws.”

Kyowa Hakko Acclaimed by Frost & Sullivan for its Non-GMO, Allergen-free, Immune Support Paraprobiotic Ingredient, IMMUSE™

Released: September 2021
Based on its recent analysis of the North American immune health ingredient market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Kyowa Hakko USA, Inc. (Kyowa Hakko) with the 2021 North American New Product Innovation Award for its clinically backed, patented, non-GMO, allergen-free paraprobiotic, IMMUSE™, Lactococcus lactis strain plasma (LC-Plasma),). The lactic acid bacteria developed by Kirin Holding Company Limited and offered by Kyowa Hakko USA, directly activates immune cells to provide comprehensive innate and adaptive immune support. IMMUSE™ provides ease of formulation and can be used in a number of products including drinks, yogurt, gummies and range of other functional food and beverages.
"IMMUSE™ is backed by twenty-six studies, including 11 human clinical trials that comprise nine efficacy studies and two safety studies, making it one of the most comprehensively studied and clinically validated paraprobiotics ingredients" said Smriti Sharma, Senior Industry Analyst. Also, a series of clinical studies indicates that "IMMUSE™ can improve respiratory health and, in turn, reduces fatigue and enhancessports performance and office productivity"."Besides, IMMUSE™ has self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the United States, positioning it ideally to cater to the growing consumer demand for clean-label functional food and beverages."
IMMUSE™ provides broad-range immune support by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). This rare immune cell subset activates other immune cells such as natural killer (NK), killerT, helperT, and B cells, which are important for innate and adaptive immunity. Other immune support ingredients, including generic probiotics and beta-glucan, activate limited immune cell types, imparting only partial immune support compared to IMMUSE™. Dr. Shintaro Ichikawa, Director of Technical Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA, led the development and product launch of IMMUSE™ notes, "IMMUSE™ is unlike any other immune support ingredient, by activating pDC's, key leaders of the immune system, IMMUSE™provides more comprehensive immune support."
Being part of Kirin Holdings, Kyowa Hakko has a distinct edge as it can leverage years of expertise and technical know-how of its parent company. In terms of ensuring higher product quality, the company does not use any organic solvents in the upstream and downstream fermentation processes, making the whole process sustainable.

To further its commitment in raising a minimum of $50,000 for the Williams-Franklin Foundation (WFF) during the next five years to support education expenses for students of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) who are interested in careers in natural health and healthcare, Organic & Natural Health Association will host a networking event to fundraise for the “Organic & Natural Health Scholarship Fund” at Old Soul Restaurant in Las Vegas. Informa Markets is the headlining sponsor for the event with a $5,000 commitment. The event will take place at the start of the SupplySide West conference.
“Increasing diversity and promoting DEI initiatives among organizations in the natural products industry is a priority focus at Informa Markets,” said Jon Benninger, vice president and market leader for SupplySide, Informa Markets. “Having more diversity in leadership positions within the industry allows us all to serve a larger audience of consumers who need to know about natural products. We see the Williams-Franklin Foundation as a good vehicle to attract new talent into the industry.”
Organic & Natural Health first announced its effort with the WFF to establish the “Organic & Natural Health Scholarship Fund” at the start of the year as an industry-wide cause, and this spring hosted its first virtual scholarship celebration and fundraiser on the SupplySide 365 Network platform, where more than $14,000 in donations were raised to fund seven scholarships for HBCU students this year.
“Through our collective fundraising efforts with the natural products industry at large, we are opening new doors for talented students who didn’t previously know the natural products industry existed,” said Karen Howard, CEO and executive director of Organic & Natural Health. “This is a systemic change that is necessary in our industry and we continue to invite all leaders to the initiative to help us expand it further. The next fundraising event at SupplySide West will be an opportunity to do just that.”
Old Soul Restaurant, located at 495 S. Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas, is a pre-prohibition-style restaurant led by executive chef Natalie Young, who has more than 20 years of experience working in some of the most celebrated and demanding kitchens in the United States. Old Soul Restaurant includes an “elevated American classic kitchen with an emphasis on bourbon and whiskey, while you eat on grandma’s good china.” Organic & Natural Health’s networking and fundraising event for WFF will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Oct. 26. Tickets are $200 with a $100 tax deduction and sponsorship packages are also available at: http://wffatsupplysidewest.rsvpify.com.
The Williams-Franklin Foundation is a 501(c)3 incorporated nonprofit that provides academic scholarships, business/career networking, and mentoring opportunities to HBCU students with extreme financial need. Led by husband and wife team, Dwight and LaShelle (Williams) Franklin, both HBCU graduates who used their own seed money to launch the foundation in 2014. In a short time, their organization has raised thousands of dollars that have impacted the lives of many HBCU students.
“Organic & Natural Health’s position as a leader in the natural products industry on the topic of diversity and inclusion has created a conduit between the students our foundation serves, and other leaders in the natural products industry, providing them with professional opportunities and critical financial support,” said Dwight Franklin, co-founder of WFF. “At the end of the day, our goal is to do our part to eliminate as much debt as possible for HBCU students and open as many doors for them as we can, so we appreciate anyone who can help us accomplish this goal.”

Aviv Clinics announces the launch of their Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatment for patients recovering from strokes and other medical conditions associated with the lack of oxygen to the brain. Researchers worked for years (2008-2018) studying how to help ease the suffering of stroke patients. Teams of researchers have shown that this specific treatment (HBOT) can help with symptoms and recovery from brain injuries including strokes. Aviv is excited and proud to offer this specific treatment to their patients to provide the right treatment providing hope for a better quality of life.
Aviv creates an in-depth assessment of the severity of the brain injury by using both physical and neurological tests to assess how sustainable the HBOT treatment will be. The Aviv team advises on a HBOT treatment plan which involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in their special room known as the HBOT suite. The combination of elevated pressure and pure oxygen in the suite increases the blood volume several fold, ultimately encouraging damaged tissues to regenerate and heal faster.
Aviv Clinics explains that increased oxygen to the brain helps restore the injured brain tissue. There is a quantitative improvement in memory function, attention span, and faster information processing speed with increased blood flow to damaged parts of the brain associated with memory, vision, and attention. Aviv clinic gives stroke patients hope for an improved quality of life.
As part of Aviv's advanced treatment program, patients undergo an in-depth medical assessment. This entails a three-day medical, physiological and psychological assessment conducted by their superior medical staff. Aviv Clinic uses state of the art MRI, fMRI and SPECT as part of the examination. Their caring staff and modern facility offer the best in patient care and hope for a healthier, happier future.

MESOP DOCUMENTS : UNHRC Conference Addresses ISIS Attacks on Assyrians, Yazidis
2015-03-21 – Panelists at the UNHRC conference in Geneva on Assyrians and Yazidis. From left to right: Michael Youash, Ali Seydo Rosso, H.G. Mar Odisho Oraham, Sam Darmo, Mahmud K. Feisel, Al Jasdin Osman.Geneva (AINA) — On Friday, March 20th the Assyrian Aid Society of Iraq brought together a robust showing of Permanent Missions to the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, including the United States, the Russian Federation, Iraq, the United Kingdom, Armenia, Ireland and Canada, among others. Numerous NGOs were also present, including the Assyrian Universal Alliance Americas Chapter, the Assyrian Human Rights Network, the Nineveh Center for Research and Development, the Assyrian Writers Union, the World Evangelical Alliance and the International Association-International Gulf Organization. The Assyrian Democratic Movement was also present at this event.
The critical issue addressed is the reality that UN Human Rights Council processes are too slow moving to address the immediacy of genocidal violence facing Yazidis and Assyrians as well as the humanitarian needs of these groups. Assyrians and Yazidis will not survive while the UN Human Rights Council ‘talks.’ Using its decades of delivering humanitarian relief to the area’s most afflicted populations, the Assyrian Aid Society of Iraq brought together speakers who put the issue to those missions with the power and interest to change ‘business as usual’ and recognize that change is needed to save Assyrians and Yazidis.
The Republic of Armenia asserted its ongoing commitment to the preservation of Assyrians and other vulnerable minorities and to profile its resolution on genocide prevention. The U.S. and UK also made formal interventions restating their commitment and activities geared to the preservation of minorities but unable to indicate whether such concern will translate into notable action at the UN Human Rights Council. The Russian Federation was unable to make its formal intervention due to time constraints. However, the Assyrian Aid Society expressed appreciation for Russia’s earlier efforts through its Joint Statement adopted by 62 other missions calling for the preservation of ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East.
The Assyrian Aid Society also expressed special thanks to the Assyrian Church of the East Diocese of Europe, H.G. Mar Odisho Oraham, whose attendance at the UNHRC was graciously facilitated by the World Evangelical Alliance. H.G. Mar Odisho’s linking of Assyrian suffering throughout history into the present made a deep impression on all attendees. Also, Giorgees Hanna Mashko, Assyrian Democratic Movement Director for Mid Europe, highlighted the desperate plight of the Assyrians and outlined the necessary solutions.
