'Professional impostor' jailed at Rikers Island conned Edmonton man
He had up to 27 aliases in five states. He claimed to be a United States war veteran, a British actor, a Scottish DJ, an MIT professor and an Apple executive.
But according to US authorities the title that best describes Jeremy Wilson is "professional impostor." Now, the accomplished con artist is behind bars at New York City's Rikers Island Jail.
"It was absolutely clear to me that this man has brilliance at a genius level," Larry Derkach tells As It Happens host Carol Off. "It's a terribly sad thing that he is pathologically criminal."
Derkach is the Executive Director of Edmonton's Jewish Family Services. Back in 2007, Wilson called the organization seeking their help. He told Derkach he was a Jewish American soldier, seeking refugee status fleeing violent anti-Semitic attacks in the United States.
"I must say, we didn't believe him a hundred per cent because it seemed like a far-fetched story," Derkach recalls. "At the same time, he was in need of some assistance and so we heard his story and did what we could to help."
Derkach eventually invited Wilson to live with him while he built his refugee case. At the time, he went by the name Jeremy Clark-Erskine.
"I have to tell you — we have pretty good sniffers here," Derkach argues. "It's kind of humbling to think that we could make that kind of a mistake but it's also something of a testament, I think, to his criminal brilliance." Deskach says Wilson had a near-photographic memory.
"People will look at this and say, 'truth is stranger than fiction — nobody would make this up.'" - Larry Derkach
"He had purchased a one-way trip to Toronto. A hotel room. He bought a computer. He bought some expensive sunglasses. He bought a 6,000 dollar diamond ring — all of this stuff within a few days," Derkach explains. In the end, it amounted to $17,000.
Wilson was deported more than once as an illegal immigrant and has been jailed several times — once escaping by forging a judge's signature.
Despite being taken by Wilson, Derkach admits that he is still fascinated by the crafty imposter and his ability to continually elude authorities while on the lam.
"I think my first reaction was awe," Derakach concedes. "It amazed me that he has been able to, I suppose, talk himself out of being in prison."
Derakach believes there are other Canadian victims, including a woman who might have lived in Atlantic Canada.

Ever wanted to know someones skincare routine *this* much?!
Whist the Monday blues are an unfortunate shared experience for all, spare a thought for the lovely Holly Willoughby – who is returning to her usual super early starts on This Morning after a sun-drenched break with the family.
Side note- it looks like Miss Willoughby has brought the sunshine back to Blighty with her, in the form of first outfit back on set.
How gorge!
To mark the end of her holiday, the mother-of-three had taken to Instagram to share a rare snap of herself and her youngest son Chester enjoying their break.
See: Fans defend Holly Willoughby after she’s criticised for doing THIS during Royal Wedding
In the adorable snap, a make-up free Holly enjoys a cuddle with her youngest – which she has captioned, ‘A week of sunshine and this… now back to @thismorning … see you at 10:30! Xxx’.
Fans have been quick to comment on the adorable post, with replies reading messages such as ‘Beautiful natural photo’, ‘So naturally beautiful!!’ and ‘Such a beautiful mummy pic! Xxx’.
People of Instagram, we could not agree more.
And it would appear that good genes run in the family, as Holly very recently shared a snap of her own mum in celebration of her 70th birthday last week!
Sharing some throwback snaps of her mum throughout the years, Holly is an absolute dead ringer for her mum Lynne.
C’mon people, just *look* at those genes!
Holly captioned her tribute with a message reading, ‘Total and utter mega babe… then and now!!!! My Mumma… 70 today!!! Love you beyond… Happy Birthday beautiful’.
Fans were quick to comment on Holly’s likeness to Lynne, with replies reading messages such as ‘I can see where you get your good looks from now Holly! Beautiful xx’ and ‘Happy birthday to your mum. I can see where you get your stunning looks from @hollywilloughby xx’.
Ever wanted to be part of a gene pool *this* much, because us neither. Hope the holiday blues aren’t too bad today, Holly! | https://www.celebsnow.co.uk/celebrity-news/holly-makeup-free-chester-739197 | 2018-10-15T17:54:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Optimizing your website for local search is paramount if you want to be found in Google’s search results within a specific geographical area. Once a user searches for your company and adds geographical criteria, the search then becomes “local” and Google’s geographical algorithm – which of course is a secret – will have a dominating effect on where your website will rank within the specific geographical search results. You can improve your chances of getting a higher ranking in local searches by:
• Making sure your specific geographical area is part of your title tag and meta description tag noted on each page of your web site
• Ensuring your address and phone number are on each page of your web site
• Embedding a Google map on your home page One key point that most other advertising agencies don’t know about: Local search places a heavy emphasis on links from directory listings – Google+ Local, Yahoo Local, Chamber of Commerce, MapQuest, White Pages, Yelp, or City Search, for example – rather than on links from other websites or blogs. | https://www.cgtmarketingllc.com/underestimating-the-power-of-local-search/ | 2018-10-15T17:05:02 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

CAMP HILL, Pa. – Rite Aid Corporation announced that it is updating its fiscal 2019 outlook, which the company initially provided on April 12, 2018 and included expectations for sales, same store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, net loss, Adjusted net income per share, and capital expenditures. As previously disclosed, Rite Aid’s outlook is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the benefits from an anticipated reimbursement rate environment that is more stable than the prior year, fees under the Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) with Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“WBA”), generic drug purchasing efficiencies, and other initiatives to grow sales and drive operational efficiencies. Rite Aid’s fiscal 2019 outlook does not reflect the impact of the proposed merger with Albertsons Cos.
Based upon recent generic drug bid activity and on anticipated generic drug market conditions for the balance of the year, generic drug purchasing efficiencies are expected to be significantly below Rite Aid’s previous experience and will not meet the company’s expectations for the year. The company now expects generic drug purchasing efficiencies to be approximately $80 million less than when Rite Aid established its fiscal 2019 outlook. As a result, Rite Aid is updating its outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, net loss and Adjusted net loss per diluted share as follows:
– Adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in a range between $540 million and $590 million, updated from the previously disclosed range of between $615 million and $675 million;
– Net loss is now expected to be in a range between $125 million and $170 million, updated from the previously disclosed range of between $40 million and $95 million; and
– Adjusted net loss per diluted share is now expected to be in a range of $(0.04) and $(0.00), updated from the previously disclosed Adjusted net income per diluted share range of between $0.02 and $0.06.
The company’s outlook for sales and same store sales remains unchanged as sales, prescription count growth and pharmacy reimbursement rates continue to be in line with expectations. The expectation for capital expenditures also remains unchanged. | https://www.chaindrugreview.com/rite-aid-updates-fiscal-2019-outlook/ | 2018-10-15T16:51:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
If you're a period film junkie part of the pleasure has to be the clothing. Corsets, petticoats, crinolines, and chemisettes, bustles and hoops. All manner of clothing we modern women eschew. Morning coats and shirtwaists, Tea gowns and walking suits. The number of changes a woman might have to go through in an average day is mind-blowing. IF I'm being really honest, I have to admit that sometimes the clothing is so fetching, I get a wee bit distracted, just for a moment, from the story, so absorbed am I by the cut of a coat, or the drape of a dress, the colors, textures, patterns of the wardrobe.
The clothing in Far from the Madding Crowd hit me like that. Because Bathsheba Everdene doesn't live a life full of balls and fancy dress occasions, her wardrobe isn't full of lavish gowns but as a farm owner, a businesswoman, her clothing reflected a strong, spirited sense of self and was designed to project an image of power and a degree of control.
It reminded me of the early days of my career back in the 70's when we working girls would wear variations of menswear to work. Remember when a working woman was defined by the power suits she wore? Back in my corporate days, as a copywriter at Max Factor, I had a lot of fashion freedom because I held a creative position in a glamor industry. But that never meant I could casually throw on anything as mundane as a t-shirt and jeans. You had to cultivate a look, a persona; just as clothing made the man, we were very well aware that clothes made the woman too. While there were meeting-less days when I'd pair pale pleated khakis with rainbow suspenders and a crisp white cotton shirt, there were other days when I needed to project a more powerful image. Days I brought out my best blazer, a gorgeous double-breasted navy jacket with thin burgundy stripes. Nipped in at the waist, designed to accentuate my female curves, the jacket had built-in shoulder pads to give me the broad powerful shoulders of my male colleagues. I loved that jacket, usually wearing it with a pink silk shirt over a white leather pencil skirt with buff colored high heels. I held myself straighter, walked and talked with more confidence. **
That's how many of Janet Patterson's clothing designs for Carey Mulligan as Bathsheba struck me. When Bathsheba is at the farm, working in the fields, her clothes are softer, in weight, in structure and even color. But when she goes into town to sell her grains, she's all business in the dark colors of mens suiting, occasionally brightened with a flash of color.
Intrigued by Patterson's process I've tried to dig in and dig up some behind the scenes info but the costume designer for Far From the Madding Crowd is camera shy. I found a video featurette that promises a behind the scenes convo with the designer but instead we have commentary by Assistant Costume Designer Françoise Fourcade! Kudos to Patterson; how refreshing in this me me me day and age, she prefers to stay in the background. Specializing in 19th century period clothing, Patterson is a four time Oscar nominee (The Piano, Portrait of a Lady, Oscar & Lucinda, Bright Star) who hails from Sydney, Australia. According to imdb 'she is a noted recluse who rarely does interviews or attends awards ceremony's, between jobs she returns to a quiet home life with her family.' Proof, if you needed it, that introverts can be successful in this very extroverted world of ours.
Still, since she won't speak for herself, we have to count on others to speak for her. No worry, Fourcade fills in ably for the reclusive designer, explaining why the beautifully vibrant color palette of Carey Mulligan's Bathsheba Everdene clothing is more authentic than you might think at first glance. And also ...
"We just didn't want to do another brown, muddy Victorian film."
According to the website for Angels Fancy Dress, a costume rental house that Patterson has called on for help —
Bathsheba’s costumes reflect the two conflicting sides of her character; that of a practical working woman, responsible for the care and maintenance of a large farm, and of a wilful, attractive young woman searching for her independence. The novel is set in the 1870s, and this was a (relatively small) period in Victorian fashion when dresses were not too big and frilly. Lacking the crinoline and the bustle, the overall silhouette of a 1870s dress was narrow and form-fitting – much more suitable for a woman such as Bathsheba, allowing her to work on her farm without the hassle of dragging a fashionable bustle behind her.
‘Artistic dress’ was the order of the day. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and other artistic reformers, fashions developed medieval details, with informal elements and loose sack-back styles from the eighteenth century. These clothes designs lent themselves well to rural women of means like Bathsheba.
Mass production of clothing was not yet in vogue, and women’s clothing certainly could not be bought as we would purchase them today. Gowns, skirts, petticoats, and corsets would have to be made at home or made professionally – but the simpler styles of the 1870s allowed Bathsheba to look as stylish in the country as she would have done in more urban surroundings.
Mulligan’s costumes were made to be as authentic as possible, using traditional methods of sewing to recreate Hardy’s idealised England. The gowns are fully complete, with corset and several layers of petticoats underneath, keeping the dress clean and with the added benefit of keeping the wearer warm in an age before central heating and fibreglass loft insulation. Despite their many layers, though, the outfits were designed to be slipped on quickly and easily. The film was shot in just eight weeks, and the performers were often called on to make sudden and speedy costume changes to keep the film’s production schedule on track.
Love fashion in film? Grazia Daily has a fun piece on Carey's costumes in Far from the Madding Crowd comparing them to some of this season's fashion looks.
What did I think of the movie? And you? Talk to me!
**If you're interested in my days as a copywriter at Max Factor I've got a few pieces on my personal writing site that go a little deeper into that time in my life. For what it's worth, here's one and here's another about working with our go-to photographer, and another about working with Jaclyn Smith.

2016 NFL Draft’s Biggest Winners and Losers
Myles Jack poses on the red carpet at the 2016 NFL draft. | Kena Krutsinger/Getty Images
The 2016 NFL Draft was more than just a bit crazy. It featured some great first-round picks, some not-so-great first-rounders, and plenty of players with boom or bust potential.
When taking all things into account, there are obviously quite a few teams who walked away as the “winners” of the draft, and others who walked away as the “losers.” The question is, who qualifies as what? Well, we kick things off here with a team that seems ready to make an immediate turnaround.
Winner: Jacksonville Jaguars
When you land both safety Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Myles Jack with your first two picks, you’re bound to qualify as a winner. The Jaguars knocked this draft out of the park, and we really like their addition of defensive tackle Sheldon Day in the fourth round as well.
Overall, the Jaguars knew they needed to address defense and make sure that they build a group ready to compete for years to come, and this team did just that. Andrew Luck will have his hands full when facing the Jaguars in 2016.
Loser: Carolina Panthers
Listen, the Panthers will still contend for the Super Bowl in 2016, but they didn’t do themselves a ton of major favors with this draft. While DT Vernon Butler wasn’t a bad pick, the Panthers had so many other areas that needed to be addressed. After that, they selected three players to play in their secondary, which was an obvious need.
The only problem is that we aren’t sure if any of them, aside from maybe James Bradberry (Samford) can really step in and contribute quickly. The upside is there for these players, but the Panthers should have done something to address their offensive line, and possibly looked at a running back or wide receiver to add as well.
Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson | Joe Robbins/Getty Images
After landing one of the top cornerbacks in the draft in William Jackson III from Houston in the first round, the Cleveland Browns also grabbed wide receiver Tyler Boyd from Pittsburgh. Boyd may be one of the most underrated receivers in this entire draft class.
Also, landing defensive tackle Andrew Billings from Baylor was a complete steal — there’s no reason why he should have been available at pick No. 122. To top it all off, we also loved the addition of guard Christian Westerman from Arizona State and late-round pick wide receiver Cody Core from Ole Miss. The Bengals hit a home run in this draft, there’s no denying it.
Loser: New England Patriots
It’s almost scary to write this. The Patriots have done a good job in the draft over recent years, and maybe it’s just the fact that they lost that first-round pick, but there’s nothing to really fall in love with about their draft.
The addition of cornerback Cyrus Jones from Alabama was a nice one, and the Pats got a solid guard in Joe Thuney from NC State, but he may not be ready to jump in and play anytime soon. The biggest question mark had to be the addition of quarterback Jacoby Brissett from NC State in the third round.
Yes, Brissett has upside and is an intriguing player, but unless the Patriots are planning on losing Jimmy Garoppolo sooner than later, then they didn’t really need to spend a third-round pick on a quarterback. There were so many other ways they could have gone there, and to top it off, Brissett wasn’t even the top quarterback available at that point.
Winner: Dallas Cowboys
Ezekiel Elliott with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell | Jon Durr/Getty Images
A lot of people aren’t fans of the Cowboys’ draft, but we see nothing but major potential. Running back Ezekiel Elliott is a major game-changer, while Jaylon Smith might be one of the best players in this entire draft if and when he returns from his injury.
To top it off, fourth-round pick Charles Tapper can come in and compete for playing time right out of the gate, which is shocking for most fourth-rounders.
Sixth-round pick, cornerback Anthony Brown from Purdue, is a major sleeper, but should be able to make the 53-man roster, as well as quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott will be the perfect player to learn from Tony Romo. He is intelligent enough and talented enough to potentially become the future under center for the Cowboys.
Loser: Philadelphia Eagles
The selection of Carson Wentz is a great one, and he’ll be under center sooner than most people believe. Looking past the fact that the Eagles spent a boatload of money on quarterbacks this offseason is tough to do, but Wentz was still a great pick. Aside from that, there just wasn’t much about Philadelphia’s draft that really jumps off the page.
Seventh-round pick in cornerback Jalen Mills from LSU may wind up being a great steal, but he’s still a bit of an unknown. Unfortunately, it’s easy to forget that the Eagles only had two picks in the first four rounds, which hurts their overall draft haul, but we really just didn’t love what they did with their late-round picks.

Soon after taking charge at Corn Products International Inc. last year, Ilene Gordon came to a surprising realization: She might need to change the name.
Corn Products CEO Ilene Gordon looks beyond corn
Soon after taking charge at Corn Products International Inc. last year, Ilene Gordon came to a surprising realization: She might need to change the name.
With consumption of one of the 104-year-old company's biggest corn products high-fructose corn syrup plummeting, she saw she would have to diversify fast into other sweeteners, probably not derived from corn.
Ms. Gordon ultimately decided to keep the moniker for now but her push to diversify is in full swing.
With soft-drink and food makers cutting back on corn syrup amid a growing consumer perception that it's not as healthy as sugar, Ms. Gordon, 56, wants Westchester-based Corn Products to offer a wider variety of ingredients aimed at tapping into the trend toward healthier food and drink.
"We have seen a lot of pressure on high-fructose corn syrup, and it's going to be a challenge over time," says Ms. Gordon, who took over last May as chairman, president and CEO after 30 years rising through the ranks at manufacturers such as Tenneco Inc. and Alcan Packaging. "I'm trying to get us to go faster in broadening our portfolio."
Corn Products sales fell 6.8% to $3.67 billion in 2009, and net income dropped 85% to $41 million, due in part to a $119-million goodwill writeoff. The company doesn't break out sales for specific products, but sweeteners account for about 56%, with starches, oils and animal feed accounting for the rest.
The company's sweetener sales are taking a beating as big customers switch to sugar. PepsiCo Inc. is taking high-fructose corn syrup out of Gatorade and recently offered versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew soft drinks with sugar. Kraft Foods Inc. is removing it from Wheat Thins. ConAgra Foods Inc. is replacing it with sugar in Hunt's ketchup.
LOSING SHARE
As a result, high-fructose corn syrup's share of the U.S. sweetener market fell to 31.1% in 2008 from 35.1% in 2002, while sugar's share rose to 38.8% from 35.3% during that time, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For three decades, high-fructose corn syrup appealed to food and beverage companies because it cost much less than sugar, especially in the U.S. Lately, the savings have been outweighed by a consumer backlash, despite many experts' belief that there is little evidence of a nutritional difference between sugar and corn syrup.
At the end of last year, about 55% of U.S. consumers said they were aware of and concerned about high-fructose corn syrup, up from 40% in 2004, according to surveys conducted by NPD Group, a New York-based market research firm.
"When your livelihood is built on a business being vilified, it's very difficult," says Ken Harris, a food consultant based in Evanston at Kantar Retail Americas. "But oftentimes necessity is the mother of invention, and there are definitely opportunities for (Corn Products)."
Mr. Harris says Corn Products could tap into healthy food trends such as the rise of gluten-free products and low-calorie sweeteners.
Ms. Gordon hopes to do that with product development and acquisitions. Part of her plan is to tap Corn Products' laboratories in foreign markets, looking for ingredients that could work at home. Corn Products already makes some ingredients for gluten-free foods at a facility in Colombia. In addition, the company has developed a low-calorie natural sweetener derived from stevia, a shrub native to South America.
While the scientists do their work, Ms. Gordon will be on the hunt to acquire new sweeteners. To broaden the portfolio and push Corn Products deeper into new markets, she plans to spend between $400 million and $900 million on acquisitions over the next five years, compared with the $106 million the company spent on deals over the past five years. She has yet to do any deals or provide details on how she would finance them.
'STRETCH GOAL'
"Acquisitions will be important for us going forward," says Ms. Gordon, a Boston-area native. The daughter of an elementary school teacher and an accountant, she has a bachelor's degree in math and an MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The deals will be critical if she is to hit the goals she's set: 12% long-term earnings growth and sales exceeding $5 billion within five years.
"Using the balance sheet to step up M&A will be necessary to achieving 12% (earnings per share) growth," wrote Vincent Andrews, an analyst in New York at Morgan Stanley & Co., in a note to investors last week. He calls the 12% growth a "stretch goal."
Mr. Andrews and the seven other analysts who cover Corn Products have a "hold" rating on the stock, saying that, at around $35 a share, it's trading at a premium to rivals, due to the possibility of a takeover, particularly from New York-based Bunge Ltd.
Corn Products decided against a merger deal with Bunge in 2008. Ms. Gordon says she doesn't know any more about Bunge's plans than what she reads in the paper and says, "I came in to grow the business, not sell it."
"Everyone focuses on the (high-fructose corn syrup) issues in the U.S.," she says. "I try to constantly remind the outside world of the opportunities we have to broaden our portfolio and grow in South America and Asia." | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20100327/ISSUE01/100033179/corn-products-ceo-ilene-gordon-looks-beyond-corn | 2018-10-15T17:24:30 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

(AP) — Unofficial vote totals show Republican Joe Walsh is maintaining a 291 vote lead over Democratic Congresswoman Melissa Bean in Illinois' 8th Congressional District.
Election officials in Cook, Lake and McHenry counties released vote totals on Tuesday that show Walsh has 98,115 votes, compared with Bean's 97,824.
Walsh declared victory after the election, but Bean has been waiting for Tuesday's count, which includes absentee and provisional votes. Tuesday was the deadline for absentee ballots to arrive by mail.
Both candidates are in Washington and were unavailable immediately for comment.
Walsh received backing from tea party groups during the campaign. A Walsh win would mean the state's 19-member congressional delegation will have 11 Republicans.
Bean is a three-term Democrat in what has long been a GOP-leaning district. | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20101116/NEWS02/101119907/walsh-holds-slim-lead-over-bean-in-race-for-congress | 2018-10-15T16:46:20 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

There are two strands woven together in the history of the Bible and its translations. One is the development of the biblical text: its materials, texts, and translations. The second is the story of the men and women who went to great extremes, at times risking death, in order to provide their generation with the Word of God in a language that could be understood. David Ewert skillfully combines both these elements in this informative and captivating book, beginning with what "Bible" means, how the Bible is organized, and how various books were named. He explores such other matters as the development of the biblical languages, the canon and the history of the testaments, and early versions of the Bible. English translations, from the time of Wycliffe to the present, are the focus of several chapters. A General Introduction to the Bible is filled with photographs of ancient texts, pages from various Bibles, photographs of key individuals and settings -- all of which add understanding to the Bible's history. Maps and charts show the development of languages, textual families, and the relationship of various translations and revisions. There are suggested readings and an extensive glossary and index. | https://www.christianbook.com/general-introduction-to-the-bible/david-ewert/9780310453710/pd/0453712 | 2018-10-15T18:19:36 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

As vice president of operations for Sodexo, a global provider of facilities management and food services, Lucy Kalkman manages the maintenance of 200 schools in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) account.
Kalkman said she “fell into facility management by accident,” via several retail jobs in department stores, discount chains, home improvement stores, and a carpeting company. “I went from store manager to district manager, regional manager, then to vice president,” she said, explaining part of her managerial duties included making sure the stores were clean and pest-free.
Working with 200 schools, Kalkman said her biggest challenge has been meeting the specific needs of each one. “Each client has a unique priority and so you can’t have a one-glove-fits-all maintenance approach,” she said.
Kalkman believes a necessary part of being able to meet your clients’ needs is being a good listener, communicator, and organizer, skills in which many women excel. The technical knowledge can be learned on the job. “No matter what you’re cleaning—a school, a corporate office, or a baseball stadium—what’s important is that you’re creating an environment that is safe and clean for the customers of that environment.” Kalkman said. “It brings me joy knowing the work we do in facility management positively impacts students’ ability to learn.”
How she elevates other women in the industry:
Kalkman’s company partners with Local 339 Engineers in Chicago and CPS to sponsor an apprenticeship program for high school graduates who choose to go into a trade upon graduation. Each year 20 graduating CPS students are selected for the apprenticeship program, which is solely paid for by Sodexo. It is a two-year program, and upon successful completion, they become building engineers. Kalkman personally mentors a few of the students herself each year.
Additionally, Kalkman offers the following advice for women who are feeling apprehensive about their skills and ability to lead in the custodial industry: “Facility management is still a male-dominated field. Women are apprehensive about getting into it because they don’t think they have enough technical knowledge,” Kalkman said. “But as long as you have transferable abilities, like leadership and people skills, and know how to ask the right questions, you will learn the industry. I don’t know everything about hvac, but I am still able to hire and manage people who do.” | https://www.cmmonline.com/articles/facilities-vp-customizes-approach-to-each-client | 2018-10-15T17:46:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
French police made one of the biggest cocaine busts in history earlier this month when 1.3 tonnes of the drug was found aboard an Air France cargo flight in Paris.
The stash of pure cocaine was found stuffed into 30 suitcases aboard the cargo plane at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, Interior Minister Manuel Valls announced Saturday.
The discovery was made on September 11 but not revealed until now.
(Read more: Did Cocaine Cause the Financial Crisis?)
A source close to the investigation told Agence France-Presse the flight had originated in the Venezuelan capital Caracas, adding that the haul had a street value of some 200 million euros ($270 million).
Valls said it was the biggest drug haul ever made in the Paris area and that four tons of cocaine have been seized in France since the start of the year. | https://www.cnbc.com/2013/09/22/cocaine-stash-worth-270-million-found-on-air-france-plane-in-paris.html | 2018-10-15T18:18:19 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Facebook said Monday it has hired a firm to conduct a "comprehensive audit" of Cambridge Analytica and the whistleblower who set off a weekend firestorm for the social media giant.
"We are moving aggressively to determine the accuracy of these claims. We remain committed to vigorously enforcing our policies to protect people's information," Facebook said.
Conservative research firm Cambridge Analytica gained access to data from 50 million Facebook profiles before the 2016 presidential election, as alleged by Christopher Wylie in a pair of weekend reports by The Observer newspaper in the U.K. and The New York Times.
Wylie alleged the data was first collected by Aleksandr Kogan through an app called "thisisyourdigitallife," which asked users to answer questions to build a psychological profile. Facebook said Kogan then passed the data along to Cambridge Analytica, a violation of company policies.
"Cambridge Analytica has agreed to comply and afford the firm complete access to their servers and systems. We have approached the other parties involved — Christopher Wylie and Aleksandr Kogan — and asked them to submit to an audit as well," Facebook said. "Mr. Kogan has given his verbal agreement to do so. Mr. Wylie thus far has declined."
Facebook drew strong criticism over the weekend for what some saw as a failure to protect user data. But the company and its executives maintained that the mishandling of data was the result of abuse on the part of Kogan and Cambridge Analytica.
Facebook suspended Cambridge Analytica from the site late Friday night and has said policies for app developers have changed since 2015 when Kogan's was allowed to collect the data.

Cambridge Analytica has denied violating Facebook's terms of service. | https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/19/facebook-to-conduct-a-comprehensive-audit-of-cambridge-analytica.html | 2018-10-15T18:17:37 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
If you'd rather avoid the lines at Apple and AT&T stores on iPhone 4 launch day, you have options this year.
Wal-Mart said Friday that it will be one of several retail outlets that will have the iPhone 4 on June 24, its first day of availability anywhere. While Wal-Mart has carried previous versions of the iPhone, this is a first that it will be for sale in its stores on the device's official launch day.
Wal-Mart is not the only alternative to Apple and AT&T, however. It's rumored that Best Buy will have the device on launch day, and Radio Shack employees have begun telling customers they have also been selected to carry the device starting June 24.
It could be a sign of Apple's growing relationship with fellow electronics retailers that it is sharing the launch day spoils. Or, it could be the realization that demand for the iPhone is strong and it wants to offload at least some of the typical crush of peoplegoing to stores to buy it the first day.
Apple said on Monday that pre-orders for iPhone 4 will start on June 15. Wal-Mart will be not be offering the same pre-order option.
This post was updated at 10:08 a.m. PDT with Walmart's confirmation that it will not be doing preorders.

Atlanta-based Healtheon/WebMD this week started cutting an undisclosed number of employees. In addition, B2Bstores.com, a Long Beach, Calif., company that sells office supplies and other products online, said it would lay off employees as part of a company reorganization.
Healtheon, which connects doctors, patients, insurers and medical labs online, said its cuts were part of an effort to slice $75 million from its projected $1 billion in expenses this year. The company expects to lay off more staff in the coming months, according to chief operating officer Steve Grant.
The layoffs at both companies indicate that the recent slump in the Internet sector is not limited to e-tailers. Although Healtheon offers a consumer service, most of its revenue comes from working with hospitals, doctors and insurers to streamline medical administration processes.
Some analysts say business-to-business is still robust, but that some companies are tightening their belts to ride out the rocky business climate.
Healtheon "has made a number of acquisitions and is looking for synergy," said Daren Chervits of investment adviser Jacob Asset Management. "As far as the market goes generally, I don't think the pressure on B2B companies has been the same as B2C companies. B2B companies have cash on the table, and because the Internet sector is going through some tough times, it makes sense for companies" to streamline.
Until recently, many companies in the business-to-business sector were the darlings of Wall Street. Even as investors began to cool to business-to-consumer companies, business-to-business companies drew a large percentage of venture capital in the early part of this year.
But even business-to-business stocks, such as Ariba, Commerce One and i2 Technologies, have lost value in the past few months along with the rest of the industry. Shares of both Healtheon and B2Bstores are way off their 52-week highs.
Grant said Healtheon's decision to cut staff has little to do with market pressures.
"We're doing something very natural for a company that has made a number of acquisitions," he said. "We're trying to eliminate duplicate resources." He pointed out that the company remains strong financially and has $1 billion in the bank.
B2Bstores said its cuts are part of a wider restructuring that will include a significant reduction in the company's monthly costs.
The business-to-business company said chief technology officer Jeffrey Crandell and executive vice president of business development Shannon Jessup have resigned. Two members of its board of directors also have departed.

The PowerUp FPV is part paper airplane, part drone.Claire Reilly/CNET
Let's get one thing straight -- this isn't the kind of paper airplane that your grandpa taught you to make. The PowerUp FPV is a live streaming paper airplane drone that is part origami masterpiece, part VR experience and all fun.
While there are fleets of drones on show here at CES in Las Vegas, plenty of them are high-priced toys and most of them are also heavy enough to have to conform to regulations from the likes of the US Federal Aviation Authority. Not so the PowerUp FPV.
At just 2 ounces (well under the 8-ounce FAA limit), the PowerUp is made from heavy-duty paper, with a rod that runs down the centre, connecting the propellers at the back to the motor at the front. Connect it to your smartphone via Wi-Fi and you can launch the plane with the swipe of a finger and pilot it by moving your phone from side to side.
But you always wanted to be a pilot right? So put your smartphone in the accompanying FPV (first-person view) headset, or your own Google Cardboard or VR device, and you can control the plane by moving your head.
The rotating camera on top will also send live-streamed video direct from the "cockpit" to your headset so you get "the feeling of riding a plane" according to the PowerUp team. And if you want to see your bemused reaction on screen, turn the drone-top camera around to get a selfie as you launch.
The basics:
- Reversible camera (VGA resolution)
- 200-metre Wi-Fi range (219 yards)
- 10 minutes fly time
- Rubberised nose
- Replaceable battery and 'pop in place' parts
- Includes ready to fold paper and traceable designs
PowerUp says the FPV has a lightweight "uncrashable" design (or more correctly, as one of PowerUp demo guys told us, "pilots don't have crash landings, they have 'hard' landings"). Full disclosure: Due to the sheer numbers of people on the show floor we didn't get to see the drone mid-flight, but it's a cute design with plenty of promise.
The FPV drone is currently in the final stages of a Kickstarter campaign (with more than four times its goal budget already pledged at the time of writing). It's selling for $179 through Kickstarter (around AU$255 or £120), though there are plans to bring it to retail soon for $199, or $149 without the headset (AU$280/AU$210; £135/£100).
That may seem like a steep price on paper, but the PowerUp FPV lets you create your own drone designs again and again, and they even suggest you could make an FPV jet boat if you're adventurous. That'd certainly be something worth showing to Grandpa.

The Steam Link.Nate Ralph/CNET
I can't believe the Steam Link is just $2.50 today.
Amazon charges $6-$12 for an HDMI cable that'll pipe video from your PC a maximum of 25 feet away. But the Steam Link can do it from the other side of your house -- thanks to the magic of networking. And today, it's even cheaper than a dumb copper cable.
(You can find it for $2.50 at Steam. You'll still have to pay shipping, which looks like it'll cost an extra $8.)
With this tiny black box, not much bigger than a pack of playing cards, I sling PC games from my upstairs computer down to my living room TV at 1080p resolution, 60 frames per second, wirelessly. Because they're harnessing the power of my beefy PC graphics card, they look better than anything my (standard) PS4 or Xbox One can achieve.
When my newborn daughter started falling asleep on my arm last year, practically every day, I played through all of XCOM: Enemy Within and XCOM 2 with the Steam Link and an Xbox 360 controller. (It supports my beloved Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter for Windows, PS4 controllers, as well as mouse, keyboard, and a variety of other gamepads.)
There are three USB ports (one's on the side), an HDMI output and the Ethernet port.Nate Ralph/CNET
And sometimes, I even use it to access my Windows desktop from my living room. Valve added that feature a while back.
You need to have a pretty great wireless network, obviously -- though it's also got a physical ethernet jack if you want to run a cable. But Valve's improved the signal over time with software updates, to the point it's way more reliable than you might have read in early reviews. I don't use it every day, but that's mostly because I don't enjoy mouse and keyboard-style games from the couch. For controller games, it's great.
If I didn't already own two of them, I'd buy another right now. It originally cost $50, and I happily spent it. $5 was an absolute steal last year, and $2.50 is an impulse buy like few we've ever seen.
Yes, there's also a Steam Link app now, but only currently on Android. And I want to play my games on the big screen.
Originally published Nov. 22, 2017.
Update, June 21, 2018 at 11:28a.m. PT: The Steam Link is now just $2.50 for Valve's Steam Summer Sale 2018 -- half the $5 price that first inspired us to write this article last year. We're republishing it now in honor of the new sale.

Commerce One now expects revenue for the second quarter, which ends June 30, to be approximately $100 million to $120 million. Analysts polled by First Call expected the company to report revenue of $161.8 million for the quarter.
Meanwhile, SAP, which a year ago forged ties with Commerce One to develop online marketplaces, has agreed to invest up to $225 million in the company and tighten their existing alliance. With the investment, SAP will own approximately 20 percent of Commerce One's outstanding stock, including shares already owned by the software behemoth.
The deal bodes well for both parties, according to Gartner analyst Karen Peterson, in that it lays to rest recent worries that the partnership was unraveling.
"This alleviates some concerns of the imminent breakup of SAP and Commerce One and demonstrates they can work together to create a common platform," said Peterson. The deal is "really good for Commerce One, but good for SAP as well."
Partnerships in general are fraught with breakups, and customers are often cautious of how well different parties can work together to deliver a solid product, Peterson said. She pointed to the cracks in the high-profile pact between IBM, Ariba and i2 Technologies as an example.
The investment helped boost Commerce One's stock, which had sagged 80 percent this year. In midday trading, shares of the company were up 83 cents, or 20 percent, to $5.14. SAP shares dipped on the news, down a dime to $34.65.
Under the terms of Friday's agreement, SAP will receive certain registration rights to purchase additional shares of Commerce One common stock. It has also won the right to appoint a representative of its company to Commerce One's board. The transaction, pending regulatory approval, is expected to close in July or August.
Pleasanton, Calif.-based Commerce One, which partly blamed its revenue shortfall on delayed customer spending in Europe, has had difficulty negotiating the economic downturn as companies exercise caution in spending or making new investments in software and technology.
Last quarter, Commerce One matched lowered estimates after warning in April of a sales shortfall. Its business-to-business competitors, including i2 and Ariba, have also had difficulty meeting earnings targets given the lull in the business-to-business sector.
Although online marketplaces have gotten off to a slow start, analysts still see the market growing past the trillion-dollar mark by 2004. Private exchanges are expected to experience the bulk of the projected growth. Companies set up private exchanges to trade goods and services with their own partners, suppliers and customers in an attempt to reduce costs and simplify purchasing and shipping transactions.
SAP recently unveiled a plan to zero in on the development and support of online private exchanges via SAPMarkets, a business-to-business subsidiary that houses the Commerce One alliance.
In Friday's Commerce One transaction, SAP also agreed to limits on its ability to purchase more than 23 percent of the company's outstanding shares or to attempt to acquire Commerce One in a deal without the approval of Commerce One's board.
Commerce One said it sees growth in its sales pipeline and remains "cautiously" optimistic regarding the second half of the year. The company is slated to release second-quarter earnings on July 19.

A Plea for help from all Bossons Collectors, Dealers and others interested
by
Donald M. Hardisty
It is imperative that avid Bossons collectors take notice and help alleviate copyright infringements, unauthorized colorings, and fraudulent copies confronting the Bossons collecting world today. If we truly care about these original art forms, created for our enjoyment and lasting value, a constant vigilance is necessary.
Looking at the Past
As we know, the late William Henry Bossons founded Bossons in 1946. When he died in 1951, his son, W. Ray Bossons took charge as Director. In 1958, Ray oversaw the designing of our first “Character Wall Masks.” Like his father, he made certain standards were maintained and the authenticity of the Bossons creations were not only of the highest quality but protected against unauthorized paintings and copies.
Personally, I witnessed Ray Bossons determination to eliminate any illegal copies of Bossons. I saw hundreds of chalk copies of military masks, Series B heads, and many of the wildlife Bossons stored in apple boxes under the counters at a Ceramics Shop in Alamogordo, New Mexico. We speculated that Bossons were replicated from those sold in the PX’s at Holloman Air Base and White Sands Missile Range. I wrote Ray about the copies. He immediately sent the following letter to the Shop owners in Alamogordo.
“W. H, Bossons [Sales] Limited
Dear Sirs
We are the creators of original copyrighted Artware, particularly character wall heads, and we understand that your company is currently selling items that are copies of our models.
Your sale of these copies constitutes copyright infringement and unfair competition.
In order to avoid litigation in this matter, we must have your immediate written assurances that all sales of such copies will cease forthwith.
We trust that this matter will be amicably settled. However, if we do not receive your assurances that sales of these infringing copies have ceased, we shall be obligated to take legal action to seek both damages and injunctive relief.
Yours faithfully, W. Ray Bossons, Managing Director”
This was the response letter of the Ceramic Dealer via his attorney:
“Mr. W. Ray Bossons W. H Bossons Sales Limited, Brook Mills, Congleton, Cheshire, CW12 1DQ
RE: The Ceramics Shop, Alamogordo, New Mexico, USA Dear Mr. Bossons: I have been requested to review your letter to the Alamogordo Ceramic shop and the enclosed information entitled “Character Wall Heads.” The owner also wishes to avoid any litigation in this matter. Without making a disclosure or admission as to any infringement, they will discontinue use of any reproductions that may raise questions of copyright infringement.
Should you have questions in regard to this matter, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, R.R.B.. Attorney at Law"
We visited the Shop a couple weeks later and noticed that all the apple boxes with their plaster contents had disappeared. Further, I have more examples where Ray took other dealers to court and won suits against them. He was determined to protect Bossons from the illegal pirating of our collectibles. (Soon after this incident this same ceramics dealer went out of business).
The Challenge for Bossons Collectors
Ray Bossons retired in 1994 and died in May 1999. We are now left with a monumental problem of policing the industries and markets on our own. Jane Roberts Bossons, his daughter, and attorney, directed the operations until closing in December 1996. Now individuals who are avid collectors and honest dealers throughout the world must help. The International Bossons Collectors Society(IBCS) has been entrusted with the responsibility of taking a lead in dealing with these kinds of problems. Through direct verbal and written communications with Ken Potts, Factory Foreman and principal Moldmaker at Bossons over the years, it was consoling to know that under the direction of Jane Bossons, Ken assured me that the original molds he had stored under lock and key would never be copied or sold. As recently as 2009, I discussed the problem with Richard Bossons, Ray's Son, who indicated a great concern in protecting the integrity of original and authentic Bossons as true works of art throughout the world. In Ray’s later years, Ken was one of the only life-long and trusted confidants who visited Ray’s side. We can all unite in our efforts to maintain the integrity of Bossons throughout the collecting world.
Since 1995, I have written annual survey articles on Bossons for the International Schroeder’s Antique Price Guides. In a prepublication draft for the 2008 Edition of this publication, I addressed the problem this way:
“…Bossons are no longer produced, and as such are becoming very collectible.
Unfortunately, unauthorized paintings and fraudulent moldings are circulating throughout the secondary markets worldwide, especially on the Internet. We have tangible evidence of illegal copies of all categories of Bossons being made and distributed from other countries. (This author presented an extensive and documented iMovie lecture at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the IBCS concentrating on the numerous copies of Bossons that were being illegally copied and poorly painted and freely sold on the Internet.) Character Masks of Caspian Woman, Gilded Winston Churchill, and Harry Wheatcroft; Wildlife including Squirrel, Raccoon and Chipmunks; and Dogs of Distinction, e.g., Bassett Hound and Alsatian were sold by individuals and dealers on eBay.
But these discussions are not enough to prevent the continued proliferation of the frauds. Being fully aware that unauthorized paintings and fraudulent moldings are circulating throughout the secondary markets, we can excuse the innocent, who lack the background and experience in recognizing the fakes; however, it is especially serious when well-known collectors are seen buying these products on eBay. We encourage all to make every possible effort to avoid buying these fake Bossons.
One of the best approaches is to write these sellers in diplomatic and positive terms encouraging them to join us in eliminating fraudulent and inferior Bossons products from the Internet. Very often the sellers are not well informed about Bossons and are usually happy to cooperate. Here is a sample of one recent experience that can serve as an example of how one can solicit cooperation through ‘helpful’ comments.
To: an eBay seller making contact through the eBay link of “ask seller a question:”
“I trust you are aware these figures are fraudulent copies of our Military Masks from Bossons.
Kindly help us rid eBay of these horrible copies of the ‘Magical World of Bossons." Back to Home: I am always ready to assist, please contact us through our website:
After closing the auction, the seller identified herself and sent back these comments:
“Greetings, and thank you for the information…I appreciate it. When I purchased these pieces, I thought they were quite well made, and the finish on them, along with the detail was quite good. I had no idea what they were, and my knowledge about Bossons is negligible…I thought that I had seen Bossons on eBay which looked similar to these Pieces. I realized that these pieces were not signed, “Bossons,” but I thought that perhaps, some Bossons pieces were not signed. That is why I placed “Bossons type” in my listing, as I was not sure. There is a stamp on the back of each. Any idea what it says??? Anyway, my idea was NOT to mislead anyone. It is just that I have no knowledge in this field, and I did the best that I could. Feel free to get back to me. Thanks, M
I did reply to assure the seller that I realized they were not acquainted with Bossons. I also provided her with a descriptive analysis of quality Bossons,. and offered to send photos for further clarification.
This is only one example of hundreds of emails and letters I have written just in the past year. We all must do the same. You will find a small minority of responses to your emails will be negative, and that is to be expected. However, continue to be positive and instructive.
Finally, if you are buying on eBay, and have any doubt about the authenticity and fail to get ADVANCE advice and assistance, I recommend very strongly that you NOT purchase the item. Quite often, after the fact, in email from uninformed collectors, there are questions as to whether they have purchased an original or a ‘knockoff.’ We can help you at Don's Collectibles.
One of the most frequent examples of fakes being sold on eBay is with the CASPIAN WOMAN with and without veil. Below you will see two fraudulent colorings of the Caspian Woman that were up for sale on eBay.
But first, see pictures of my original Caspian Woman followed by the two appalling examples that appeared on eBay. There are dozens of fraud examples of many different Bossons on the Internet every day.
Don’s original Caspian Woman (copyright 1958).
It came directly from Bossons in the 1980's.
As you compare, notice the sharp detail in the blue veil; the gold and silver coins backed with magenta; and the impeccable details in the multi-colored contrasting depth of ivory, blues, and pinks in the outer headpiece. In particular, see the beauty of the semi-glossed face of light brown-raw sienna, and the pink, and gray colors with highlights around the eyes, mouth, and nose. With heavy shadows and sky blue coloring, the eyes appear to be almost seductive.
Supplementary pictures of Don’s original Caspian Woman without veil showing the side view that pictures a three-dimensional multiple coloring of the Caspian Woman's shawl.
Both of these eBay auctions were being sold from the U.K. These terrible examples above could be called “Miss Chocolate Caspian,” and the other “Miss Orange Caspian Woman.” I wrote both sellers asking them to kindly close the auctions and that they were not authentic and were illegal colorings of the original Caspian Woman from Bossons (1958-59). Importantly, the backs of these figures were not shown on the auctions. Seeing the backs always helps serious collectors determine if the item is a "fake copy or an authentic Bossons.
WE solicit YOUR COOPERATION IN NOT PERPETUATING THE DISTRIBUTION OF INFERIOR QUALITY BOSSONS. Collect authentic works of art and encourage others to join together in keeping the Bossons world free of fraudulent imposters creeping their way into the ‘Magical’ World of Bossons.

A business credit score reflects the ability of a business to pay back a loan. It is rated on a 0 to 100 scale.
Calculating Your Business Credit Score
Your business credit score is calculated by using the statistical algorithm, designed to measure several traits of your company and financial history.
Among these factors are:
- Credit use ratio
- Payment history
- Length of credit history
- Unpaid debts
- Public records, such as bankruptcies, liens, and judgments
- Business size
- Business risk
Some of the factors are similar to calculating a personal credit score, however, there are many factors that are different in building business credit scores.
How to Build and Improve Business Credit Scores
Get a Business Credit Card or Line of Credit
Of course, the first step in building a business credit score is to get a business credit card. You can also get a line of credit for your business. Be sure that you are getting a business credit card for your business financing, not a personal credit card for your individual finances.
Separate your business and personal expenses
This is not only important for avoiding accounting mistakes. This is also essential in building credit scores for your business.
Select your Supplier and Lenders with an Eye on your Business Credit
Many small businesses have incomplete business credit accounts because their dealers and moneylenders don’t report costs to the business credit unions.
Pay Your Bills On Time or, better yet, in Advance
If you want to make sure that your business credit score is high, then you must pay on time. A delay in payments ruins your business credit and a delay in payments from your company affects the cash flow in other businesses. This is the same as when your clients do not pay you on time and it badly affects the cash flow process of your small business.
Much of your business rating depends on how you pay your suppliers and other contractors within an approved time frame. If you pay in advance or on the spot, this practice will make your business credit even better. Your suppliers and contractors will further put remarks like “prompt”, “pays early”, etc.
The reason for such nice additional remarks is that every business needs a prompt cash flow for its running. Other companies might also be going through cash flow problems. Early payments or payments done on time significantly reduce cash flow problems.
Your business credit score is used to measure the lending and credit risk linked to your company. A good business credit score shows that your company can manage debts and finances efficiently.
Utilize Credit, but not Too Much
Your business should utilize the credit score it has, but make sure not to overuse it. If you continue utilizing your business credit score for your business operations, it will be beneficial. You will keep building and utilizing some of your credit scores. It is just like taking a loan and paying it back promptly. It builds a trust in your business’ ability and financial stability. But, consuming all of the credit score or too much of the score means your company is not financially stable and is relying on the credit score it builds over time.
Fix Errors on your Business Credit Score Report
If there are errors in your consumer credit report, there is a fixed process for disputing them. However, for business credit report errors, there is a different process everywhere. Every bureau has it’s own procedure for disputing business credit errors. You can submit disputes electronically.
Conclusion
Using a business credit card or line of credit helps to build your business credit score. You have to build and keep improving your business credit score by making on-time payments, using the business credit card, and continue utilizing some of its scores to your benefit. All of these steps build a better and more trusted<< | https://www.completecontroller.com/how-to-build-business-credit-improve-your-business-credit-score-2/ | 2018-10-15T17:51:29 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Stormy Peters heads Cloud Foundry developer relations
News from last month, but important enough to revisit — Cloud Foundry Foundation has appointed Stormy Peters as vice president of technical evangelism.
>.
Peters is a prominent Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) advocate, she co-founded the GNOME Foundation.
What is Cloud Foundry?
Cloud Foundry is an open source cloud native application platform i.e. a PaaS (platform as a service).
Some PaaS offerings have limited language and framework support, do not deliver key application services, or restrict deployment to a single cloud —-
—- as an open PaaS, Cloud Foundry provides a choice of clouds, frameworks and application services.
2,100 developers
Peters will build and lead the Foundation’s efforts to strengthen and grow a Cloud Foundry community that has now ‘organically grown’ to more than 2,100 contributing developers worldwide.
“I’m drawn to the mission and the people at the Cloud Foundry Foundation,” Peters said.

The Australian Federal Police Commissioner has blamed “human error” for a breach of metadata access laws that occurred during an investigation into the source of a leak to a journalist.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has plans to replace its in-car computing system with tablets under a project called Interactive Constable on Patrol System (ICOPS).
Face-recognition technology and the near-universal adoption of social networking tools by teenagers could have already made future covert police and intelligence operations difficult, if not impossible, according former Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Keelty.

January 2011 - December 2014
The Cimarron River flows 1,117 km from its origin in northeastern New Mexico to its confluence with the Arkansas River at the Keystone Reservoir in Oklahoma. The majority of this distance flows through Oklahoma, but there are brief forays into Colorado and Kansas. The Cimarron has been described as a large, undammed river, but closer inspection reveals that this statement is not entirely valid. Between the years of 1893-1905, in what would become Harper County, Oklahoma, the Settler’s Milling Canal and Reservoir Company dug a 22.53 km long irrigation canal that irrigated nearly 6000 acres of land for farming. The canal is typically 3.66 meters wide at the base and nears 18.29 meters feet wide at its banks. To feed this irrigation canal, an earthen dam was constructed that diverts the entire surface flow of the Cimarron River to the Old Settler’s Irrigation Canal. We are investigating fish species diversity among sections of the river as they differ in water quantity and quality as a result of the diversion.

6 Scuba Diving Places In India To Quench Your Thirst For the Big Ocean
One of the most sought after adventure sports in the world, Scuba diving has gradually garnered immense popularity in India. With the availability of a lot of water bodies which are not only safe but also enthralling for scuba diving, it is turning into a flourishing field of sports and economy. If you are one of the scuba dive enthusiasts, then these 6 places are a must visit for an experience of a life time!
#1 Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Andaman and Nicobar islands have been known for scuba diving for quite a while now. With its clear water and abundant marine water animals, it is definitely a scuba diver’s spot. Some of the well noted aquatic animals found here are the scorpion fish, angler fish, sharks and coral reefs. Best spots include the wall in Havelock Island, Cinque island of Port Blair and Fish rock of Passage Island.

Let’s face it; Unity wasn’t that great las year. The Parisian setting was one that I had personally been hoping the series would explore, but the end result was a bland, boring and technical mess. Thankfully, Victorian England sounds just as fascinating, so will we see Ubisoft rise to the failings of last year with Syndicate.
Maybe, but we won’t know for sure today. What we will know, however, is a little bit more about a game that was leaked nearly half a year ago – but one that has somehow managed to stay relatively under wraps until then. Ubisoft is set to debut their new core entry into their money printing franchise ahead of E3, and you can watch it via the livesteam at exactly 18:00 local time.
What we do know about the game so far is that it’ll be set in dark, dreary Victorian England, with a rumoured pair of protagonists. brother and sister, Jacob and Evie, will allegedly both feature as playable, with missions requiring specific use of either. In more speculative news, there is suggestions that you’ll have to switch between the two mid-mission – which would certainly be a new, interesting mechanic to mess around with.
The game is also suspected to be exclusive to current-gen hardware, namely PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Don’t expect too much though, as I suspect Ubisoft will keep a lot of details sealed for E3 next month. Let us know what you think of the reveal down below.

I went for my breathe test on Thursday 22nd August 2013and it went very well. My nurse took me into a side room where she told me to breathe into a tube and then she gave me a tablet that is around the size of a paracetamol tablet that I swallowed with a glass of water. She came back nearly an hour later because a different patient had passed out. When she had come back she told me to breathe into a tube again. It will take about 3 weeks for the results as they have to go all the way to Glasgow, Scotland, England before I can find out if I need another course of antibiotics to get rid of the Helicobacter.

Quebec Premier Rene Levesque says he is determined to do anything to block Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's plans for Canadian constitutional reform - and once again called for eventual Quebec independence.
Mr. Trudeau offered to make concessions if they would return Mr. Levesque to the conference table, where premiers of nine of Canada's 10 provinces recently signed an agreement to reform the country's British constitution.
Levesque, who leads Canada's only majority French-speaking province, was the only premier who refused to sign the accord, which he said would wipe out Quebec's powers in crucial areas.
He announced a set of minimum conditions for resuming talks, but Trudeau's concessions did not match those conditions. | https://www.csmonitor.com/1981/1116/111617.html | 2018-10-15T18:23:17 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Incomes in the Northeastern states, slipping since 1929, remained above average last year while much of the Sun Belt, burdened by an influx of newcomers , fell behind, the government reported.
The national average income in 1982 was $11,107 per person, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. The highest state income was Alaska's, at $16,257, and the lowest was Mississippi's, at $7,778.
As 1982 was ending, 31 states had above-average incomes, among them the New England and other Eastern states bolstered by high-tech and service industries. Twenty states had below-average incomes, including Georgia, Florida, and Arizona. | https://www.csmonitor.com/1983/0906/090615.html | 2018-10-15T17:41:26 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
One summer, back when the happy-face symbol was scarcely known, our teenage daughters were trying to figure out a way to earn some money. They had done baby-sitting, conducted a playschool, and taught gymnastics, but this year they were looking for something drastically different. It was late May when Tam came home with a bright idea.
"I just saw a cute mug with a smile face on it," she said. "I wonder if they'd sell if we put those faces on little round candles?
"Probably not," I said pessimistically. "And it would take months to develop something like that."
Nevertheless, Tam ran with her idea. She researched where to find copper molds; the right kind of printers' ink that would not smear or smoke and would adhere to wax; where to have a smile stamp made; and what kind of dyes and wicks to buy. Finally, she enlisted the help of her dad to devise a stamping machine and cooling trough to speed up production. Her research was thorough, but now the month of June was almost over.
Grumbling under my breath, I allowed them to set up shop in the garage. Tam appointed her younger sister, Kit, as shop foreman, and together they began to experiment. Emboldened by their success - a few smiling faces set in globes of orange, blue, and yellow wax - they took their product to a local gift shop.
"Hmm," said the owner, "I think I could use some samples for a trade show next week. Can you have five dozen ready by then?" The girls worked nonstop. Privately, their mother felt their time would be better spent in looking for dependable summer jobs, but her negative thoughts were silenced when the store owner came back with an order for 10,000 candles! The girls were flabbergasted. Could they do this? Sure they could, they decided, if they hired neighborhood kids to help.
The next two weeks were spent perfecting the process. The shop was then set up in earnest, kids arriving each morning at 9. Mollified, I held my tongue as the first 500 candles were finished, boxed, and delivered. Satisfied that her main work was completed, Tam took off for California at the end of July on a previously planned, long-anticipated trip, leaving the shop in charge of foreman Kit.
On Aug. 1, disaster fell. "Kit," complained the gift-shop owner, "Your candles are bubbling - they look awful!!" Production instantly stopped while Kit retrieved the candles and appraised the situation.
What went wrong? Was it the cooling of the wax? The temperature to which it was heated? A chemical reaction? Frantically she experimented with one thing after another, but still the faces bubbled. Telephone lines hummed coast to coast with calls between the two sisters. Their mother, now a convert to the cause, agonized to see this promising project come to such an ignominious end.
Finally, in mid-August, the solution was found: They hadn't allowed sufficient cooling time between stamping the faces and the second dipping. Also, a different wax needed to be used for the final coating. Kit was relieved that the problem was solved, but she dreaded to face the store owner, for she knew that time had run out. She could never fill the order for 10,000 candles before she and Tam had to return to school. With a quaking heart she awaited his wrath, but it never came.
"Kit," he admonished her, "You and Tam have learned the lesson of your lives - and gained $10,000 worth of experience. Go back to school and be wiser for it."
Tam returned from California undaunted. "We'll put an ad in the paper and sell the business." Her aim was high. Not the local paper, but The Wall Street Journal proclaimed:
NOVELTY CANDLE BUSINESS
For Sale: Small operation can be set up in garage or basement with 3 to 7 semiskilled workers. Assured market allows for expansion. Best offer.
The girls were surprised when offers came in from around the country. Quickly they decided on the winner: a woman whose husband had a tool and die business, and who could help her run the candle shop. Her offer of $3,000 (about $10,000 today) held one proviso: that Kit go to Pittsburgh and help set up the business. This Kit did, and the whole family heaved a sigh of relief and gratitude.
The workers were paid, the garage was emptied, the girls returned to school, and they actually had some earnings to show for their summer's work. Great lessons had been learned ... not the least by their mom. Granted, I was a slow and reluctant learner, but the lesson stuck: Never underestimate the power of your children!
What happened to the 500 bubbly-faced smile candles? They were given to a friend of Tam's who wanted to melt them down for sand-cast candles. In September, however, a major hurricane struck our area, causing extensive power failures and flooding many coastal basements, including the one where the candles were stored. When a fireman went to pump out the basement, he was greeted by a sea of floating faces, smiling cheerfully amid the disaster.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "May I have them? The town has run out of candles, and we need all we can find." So the candles ended up doing their intended work after all ... with a smile.

Abstract
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare entity with a reported incidence of approximately 1:7,000 to 1:100,000 of hospital admissions. It has been described as a complication of various conditions related to increased intrathoracic pressure, like recurrent vomiting, post-partum state, vigorous coughing or sneezing, and others.
We present a 25-year-old man who came in with intractable vomiting, secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and was found to have pneumomediastinum on chest imaging. The patient was treated conservatively, eventually recovering and being discharged after several days.
SPM is rarely seen as a complication of DKA. Diagnosis and management may present a challenge. Usually, the condition is benign and treated conservatively. We report this case to increase awareness among physicians of possible pneumomediastinum in a young male presenting with DKA and dyspnea and to emphasize the benign course of this condition.
Introduction
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is defined as a pneumomediastinum that is not related to trauma, surgery, or other medical procedures. This entity is usually precipitated by high intrathoracic pressure conditions, such as coughing spells, vomiting, labor, or sneezing (Valsalva maneuvers) [1-5]. Some predisposing factors increase the risk of developing SPM, including smoking, asthma, interstitial lung disease, and others.
It is thought that alveolar barotrauma may lead to an air leak into the pulmonary interstitium or pleural space, resulting in a subcutaneous emphysema of the neck, pneumomediastinum (from air dissecting through the bronchovascular bundles into the mediastinum), pneumothorax, or pneumopericardium.
SPM as a complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is very rare and is likely related to vomiting. The following case illustrates a diagnostic and management challenge in a patient presenting with severe DKA, complicated by the unexpected finding of pneumomediastinum.
Case Presentation
A 25-year-old man with no past medical history presented to the emergency department (ED) with two days of intractable vomiting, increasing confusion, and progressive difficulty breathing. The patient denied tobacco or recreational drug use.
Upon arrival to the ED, vital signs were within normal range with a blood pressure of 123/61 mmHg, a temperature of 36.8 degree Celsius, a heart rate of 92 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 19 respirations per minute. The physical exam showed an obese, lethargic patient, responsive to verbal stimuli. The lung, heart, and abdomen exam were unremarkable and there was no neck crepitus noted. The laboratory evaluation showed leukocytosis of 25.96 x 1000/mm3, elevated creatinine of 2.17 mg/dL, hyperglycemia of 836 mg/dL, hyponatremia of 128 mEq/L, hyperkalemia of 5.2 mEq/L, and bicarbonate of 5 mEq/L. The anion gap was 25 and a venous blood gas showed a pH of 6.91. Urinalysis was positive for 2+ ketones and 1+ protein.
The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus complicated with DKA. Intravenous normal saline, bicarbonate, and insulin drip were initiated. The chest X-ray on admission suggested findings compatible with pneumomediastinum (Figure 1). Chest computed tomography (CT) was obtained and reaffirmed the findings (Figures 2-3). Pneumomediastinum in the setting of intractable vomiting was worrisome for esophageal rupture and since our facility was not staffed to manage this clinical entity, the patient was emergently transferred to another facility. The patient was treated conservatively with analgesia and respiratory support and was discharged several days later without any complications.
Discussion
Pneumomediastinum caused by trauma was first described in 1819. Later, in 1937, Hamman described SPM for the first time. Since that date, only a few case reports have described the association with DKA. SPM is a rare, mostly benign condition, with a reported incidence of approximately 1:7,000 to 1:100,000 among hospital admissions [6]. Comparable to our patient, there is a predominance of the male gender (3:1) with an average age of 20 years [7]. High intrathoracic pressure is usually a precipitating factor of SPM. In our patient, DKA-associated vomiting may have increased alveolar pressure by 20-30 mmHg, which is sufficient to cause alveolar rupture [5].
SPM can be asymptomatic; however, chest pain (most common presentation), shortness of breath, “hot potato voice” (if air accumulates in the pharynx/larynx), and subcutaneous emphysema (in up to 70% of patients) have been reported. Hamman’s sign is an infrequent clinical sign in the presence of mediastinal emphysema and is heard as a crunching sound over the precordium, synchronous with the heartbeat [8-9]. Our patient initially did not present with emphysema on physical exam, but, later, emphysema was palpable in the right cervical area. The initial diagnostic imaging for SPM is a two-view chest X-ray, which has a sensitivity of 50%-90%. When suspicion is high and the chest X-ray is negative, a CT chest without contrast could be the next step in evaluation [8].
Boerhaave’s syndrome is rarely associated with SPM; however, it is important to keep it in consideration due to its associated high mortality rate of 70% [5,7]. This can be suspected in a patient presenting with severe emesis with or without blood, leukocytosis, hypotension, and a prior history of gastroesophageal reflux disease. CT chest without contrast or esophageal swallow imaging can be useful diagnostic tools [8].
As evidenced in our patient, SPM is generally a benign self-limited condition. Management is generally conservative, including rest, oxygen, and analgesia [3-5]. There is no established role for antibiotics unless there is a concomitant infectious process, neither is there a specific follow-up indication for patients who had an uncomplicated SPM. Dajer-Fadel et al. [2] created an algorithm suggesting outpatient follow-up in patients with associated complications (tension pneumothorax, exacerbation, or recurrence). Fortunately, the evolution of this entity is benign with an excellent prognosis and no recurrence in most cases [10].
Conclusions
Given the benign nature of SPM, it is possibly an underdiagnosed entity. We report this case to increase awareness among physicians of pneumomediastinum as a differential diagnosis in a young male presenting with DKA and dyspnea. Furthermore, we would like to emphasize the benign course of this condition to avoid unnecessary workup and treatment, while providing supportive management.

- Step 2
Stain the top and sides of the wood by dipping the paper towel or cloth into the stain and wiping it on the wood until it is evenly colored. Add another coat to reach your desired coloring. Let dry completely before moving on.
Using a ruler and pencil, mark every four inches in the middle of the wood where the knobs will go. Drill into the marks so that you have a hole that goes all the way through the wood.
-
- Step 4
Measure about a half-inch down and four inches in, and mark with a pencil. Use these marks as the starting point for nailing down small frame hanging hardware with a hammer. Make sure the nails you use are very short, as you don’t want them going all the way through the wood.
Once nailed in and secure, the piece is ready to hang. The drawer knobs will remain very intact, so you can hang even slightly heavier necklaces. Hang it on the wall with your necklaces, and you’ll never have to dig through a pile of tangled jewelry again! | https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/knobbed-wooden-jewelry-hanger | 2018-10-15T18:04:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Farewell
That’s all from the LIVE blog today! Join us again tomorrow where Connor Dunn will be bringing you all things Everton as we move one day closer to the weekend’s clash with Arsenal!
Vlasic watch
Nikola Vlasic is in line to feature for CSKA Moscow against Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League tonight.
We’ve done a couple of pieces on the Croatian today which are well worth your time!
Still asking yourself why Vlasic is out on loan rather than at Goodison? Ask no more!
And just why did it not work out for the 20-year-old? Read the lowdown below!
Checkatrade Dates
Everton’s Checkatrade Trophy clashes with Barnsley and Oldham have been confirmed this afternoon.
First up for the Blues is Bradford Tuesday 25th September at the Northern Commercial Stadium.
The Blues will then travel to Boundary Park to face the Latics on Tuesday 30th October before facing Barnsley a week later.
Both games are scheduled to commence at 7:30pm.
Kenny Praised
Jamie Carragher has praised Jonjoe Kenny as the ‘typical Scouse full-back.’
The youngster, who started his first game of the season against West Ham last weekend, deputised nobly for Seamus Coleman for long periods of last season as the Irishman recovered from a broken leg.
“I really like him,” Carragher said. “He is your typical Scouse full-back, very aggressive, takes no prisoners but he also has quality going forward.
“You can see what it means to him playing for Everton. The traditions of Everton are that they always have those types of players.
“Tony Hibbert played right back for a long time and did a great job for Everton. It is great you have those types of players. I think he will be vital in that derby game.
“He has made a great start to his Everton career. He has a long way to go but it bodes well.”
Bolasie Loves Barry
Yannick Bolasie has named Gareth Barry as the ‘dream’ player to play alongside at Goodison Park.
Bolasie and Barry combined during Ronald Koeman’s first - and only - full season in charge and the Congolese winger says he enjoyed the experience.
“What a great player! I think he’s so underrated,” Yannick said.
“He controls the game, dictates the tempo, can see a pass. As a winger, he was a dream to play alongside to be honest.
“He’s played so many games in the Premier League. He never ever seems to give the ball away. Superb.”
Barry, 37, has made five appearances for West Brom in the Championship this season after joining the Baggies last summer.
Striker Debate
Cenk Tosun endured a miserable time against West Ham on Sunday - and genuine fears over his goal-drought have now surfaced.
The Turkish striker had linked up well with the likes of Theo Walcott, Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson in Marco Silva’s unbeaten opening period but failed to put the ball in the onion bag last weekend.
And that, really, is what Cenk is up there for.
Oumar Niasse also missed a chance to put the Blues back in the game when he came on while Dominic Calvert-Lewin laboured out wide for much of the defeat.
So could Richarlison be used in the same role he was for Brazil on his successful debut last week?
Let me know in the poll below who should start up front against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon - and send your reasons why to @SamCarroll0!
Digne Praised
It wasn’t the best of results for Everton against West Ham on Sunday - but new recruit Lucas Digne continues to impress.
Statistical analysis website WhoScored rate the Frenchman as the Premier League’s best left-back of the week - and who are we to argue?
View from the Gwladys
Can Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gana Gueye feature in the same Everton side - especially at home?
It’s a debate that has now rattled on for a year or so, and the lads got their chops around the discussion in this week’s View from the Gwladys podcast.
CLICK HERE to listen to the pod in its entirety with my good friend Ian Croll.
Bolasie Scores
Most expected Everton development of the season number 3,001: Yannick Bolasie netted on his Aston Villa debut last night.
After struggling to find his feet after returning from injury at Goodison Park last term, the Congolese international headed home Villa’s second after being introduced from the bench by Steve Bruce.
The wide-man caused problems for Rotherham’s defence after being introduced with twenty minutes remaining and took just ten minutes to open his account for the club with a well-taken header.
A good start for the 29-year-old - and one nobody at Everton can begrudge after enduring a torrid time through injury.
Pickford Distribution Defended
Post-World Cup criticism of Jordan Pickford is completely unfounded according to statistics compiled by Royal Blue Mersey.
The Blues stopper was at fault for West Ham’s second goal on Sunday after giving the ball away but WhoScored show that the 24-year-old currently possesses a better pass completion rate than last season.
Pickford is also averaging 22 long balls a game this term - quadruple the amount Ederson does at Manchester City - which brings his overall score down.
In terms of short passes, the goalkeeper completes 95% of balls - but only 29% of his long-kicks have found a Blue shirt so far.
“Everton still have a number of problems in this squad, but Jordan Pickford is not one of them,” RBM note - and it’s hard to disagree with their opinion!
Richarlison Backs Bernard
Richarlison believes countryman Bernard will help him - and Everton - progress this season.
The former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder was one of the only Blues to impress against West Ham at the weekend but Richarlison knows all about his qualities.
“Bernard is an agile player. He is really fast and scores a lot of goals,” the 21-year-old said.
.
“He will be very welcome here, he will understand what the manager wants from him and perform exactly as instructed by Marco Silva.
“He is used to playing in a strong team in Europe and always works very hard on the pitch.
.”
Adam Jones spoke to former Blue Michael Ball about Bernard this morning - and you can read that HERE.
Good Morning!
Salutations!
It’s Wednesday and you’re - almost - halfway through the working week.
To speed things up, then, I’m in place for another day of Everton news, views, opinion and transfer tittle-tattle.
Stick with me throughout the day as we discuss the Blues, clouds shaped like Per Kroldrup and, if we get time, the meaning of life.
As ever, you can get in touch @SamCarroll0 - so send me your Idan Tal love poems and Joe-Max Moore mystery sagas set in 1870’s London.
Let’s get going!

anyone with ankle arthitis,and what are you doing for it
PattyTwinB
I have post-traumatic ankle arthritis. My ankle became very painful to walk on approximately 3 years ago. I had my first cortisone injection from a podiatrist. I was only pain free for several weeks. I saw an orthopedist next who also gave me a cortisone injection. I have been mostly pain free for 2 1/2 years. My ankle aches at times, but I have not had pain when walking. The orthopedist said I had stage 1 arthritis. The podiatrist said I had bone on bone arthritis. I trust the orthopedist more than the podiatrist. I am hoping I will continue to be pain free. So to answer your question, the cortisone injection is all I have done so far.
LifeLover
For what seemed countless years I had experienced similar pain due to repeated fractures, strains and sprains in my ankle. Two years ago I underwent a total ankle replacement. Without hesitation I can say that was the best option, and though I am not running or jumping I can now walk without pain.

Appalachian Cooking: New and Traditional Recipes
By John Tullock
The Countryman Press. 2018. (Available March 20)
I have lived my whole life in the South, and I come from a long line of Southerners – my mama was raised in Alabama and my dad in North Carolina. Consequently, I have a soft spot in my heart for the traditional dishes of this region: skillet cornbread and turnip greens, soup beans and sweet corn, deviled eggs and blackberry cobbler. So I can’t for the life of me figure out why I never learned how to cook those dishes. Maybe it was because my mom worked a full-time job and preferred the convenience of canned and frozen vegetables (I can’t blame her, really) and my father only cooked unsightly things like scrambled-eggs-and-brains and corned-beef hash (forget it). Or it might have nothing to do with them, and I was just born with a predominant “can’t we just have popcorn for dinner again” gene. Whatever the reason, I figured at 59-years-old, when it came to traditional cooking, I was a lost cause.
The new book, Appalachian Cooking: New and Traditional Recipes, by John Tullock from Knoxville, Tennessee, makes me think there might be hope for me yet. Honestly, I picked up the book because I liked the way it looked, not because I was interested in cooking anything. There’s something appealing about Alyssa Roberts Comstock’s colorful drawings of tomatoes and asparagus and garlic on the front and throughout the pages, as well as the simple lay-out of the book and friendly fonts. So I started flipping through it.
“Wait a minute …” I thought. “This book explains how to fry green tomatoes and bake cat-head biscuits and cook-up black-eyed peas. Is that allowed?” I guess I thought if you weren’t in the My Granny Was a Fabulous Cook Club, you never got another chance. But here it was in black and white, and red and green and yellow. I dug in a little further and found not only recipes, but little descriptions about the history of the dishes and details about certain ingredients. (For instance, did you know the ramp is America’s only native onion, and that there’s an annual Ramp Festival in Flag Pond, Tennessee?)
I knew I was going to like this book when I came upon this sentence in the author’s introduction: “I’ve intentionally avoided recipes that require special equipment. … While I have included recipes that are suitable for a special occasion, this book is aimed at home cooks, not professional chefs. You won’t find much here in the way of precious presentation or over-the-top combinations of ingredients.”
Thank you, John Tullock.
I guess it was that sentence that inspired me to actually try some of the recipes instead of just wishing someone would make them for me. It’s mid-winter so I tried out the spoonbread and the hoppin’ john stuffed peppers, and was pretty impressed. I’m looking forward to summer, when I can try out more of the fresh vegetable dishes like succotash and corn chowder. I’m not a big meat eater, so I was pleased to see some vegetarian substitutions to the staple bacon-grease ingredient in a lot of Appalachian cooking, for those who want that. But there’s plenty for the meat-eater in this book: chicken and dumplings, country ham with redeye gravy, and hot-dipped catfish, to name a few.
I don’t want to give the impression that this book is only for food novices like myself. There are new spins on some old recipes (“Killed Lettuce Salad” for instance) and some dishes that have been around the region for a while but aren’t in the usual lexicon (like “Tamales”). There’s also a short history of the region and its foods in the introduction, information on canning and other ways of “putting by” (don’t know if I’ll ever make it to that level), and resources on local food vendors.
I believe people new to Appalachian cooking, as well as more seasoned cooks, will enjoy the beautifully laid-out recipes in this book and the easy discussions on what is ultimately an art form. For those of us just ready to dip our toes in the water and those already doing the backstroke, this will likely end up being one of those cookbooks covered in bacon grease (or olive oil) and big droplets of barbecue sauce – and those are the ones, of course, we love the best.
Liz McGeachy lives in Norris, Tennessee, and wrote this review because the editor said she could not keep John Tullock’s book unless she did so. | https://www.dailyyonder.com/review-appalachian-cooking-feast-taste-buds-eyes/2018/03/07/24224/ | 2018-10-15T17:21:49 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

My heart was racing. My feet were getting their hustle on. In the darkness of the early Icelandic winter morning hours I felt anxious. I didn't want to be late for a two day excursion in the south of Iceland that included an ice cave tour. I was late once for a Stonehenge tour leaving from London and I missed the bus by a minute. And as God as my witness, I swore that I would never be late again....... for a tour that is.
I was carrying a heavy weekender on my left hand and a dslr camera bag slung on my shoulder. Who brings a weekender to a hiking trip? With certain doubts aside, I was determined to make this bus. I made it to our meeting place, the majestic Hallgrimskirka church, with 15 minutes to spare. But with not a soul in sight, I couldn't help but feeling like I did it again. Feelings of denial and sorrow started to creep in. My heart was about to shatter into a hundred pieces when a tap on my left shoulder made me turn around. "Good morning! If you're here for the Goecco tour, the bus will arrive shortly." a woman said behind me with whom I later learned was one of my tour guides named Erla. Jesus! The day hasn't even started yet and I already needed a xanax.
I was fully impressed when the bus came. Instead of renting those typical white air conditioned tour buses, they copped a whip souped up to withstand an ice age. I got so excited. Get out of the way whitewalkers, daddy A-train is coming through!
As we make our way out of Reykjavik, our guides Arnar and Erla broke the ice by cracking jokes, telling us mythical stories and important historical facts. They even made everybody introduce themselves. I was thoroughly surprised with the different backgrounds everyone revealed. There was a group that came from as far as Singapore just to visit Iceland. It's one thing to notice the different types of ethnicity in the group. I wasn't new to that. But listening to their spiel made me appreciate why I travel in the first place. Suddenly, they were relatable. I see them as crossing my path to remind me of my own humanity.
Our first stop was an underground cave in the middle of nowhere 30 minutes outside of Reykjavik. We were informed that this specific cave is where they filmed Batman Begins. It is also the cave where Jon Snow lost his virginity in Game of Thrones. Goecco tour provided us with crampons- rubber slip ons with spikes on the bottom for an easier trek through the 2 feet of snow. Getting there looked like no joke. We got off the truck and all I could see was snow covered flat lands for miles lit by a hint of the sun's rays poking through the horizon. I felt like I was in Star Wars. Then we get to the site and we had to lower ourselves into this deep dark hole. I found it a little funny to see everybody being active with their expensive cameras and tripods slung on their necks. But when it came time for me to do it, it was not that difficult at all. The jump down was shallower than it seems.
I found the cave pretty surreal when I ventured inside. I've never been in one before, much less during the winter time. Huge mounds of snow formed underneath holes in the ceiling. Icicles were dangerously overhead. But surprisingly, the temperature was bearable compared to the surface. We took pictures. Some wrote their names on the snow to immortalize themselves for the next three months. And after Arnar arduously dug us a hole to exit for what seemed like an eternity, we were off to breakfast.
Our next stop was Seljalandsfoss waterfalls. But our driver passed this main big tourist attraction and stopped at a hidden gem. Just further up the road was Gljufrabui. It is a smaller waterfalls that stood 50 feet high nestled several steps inside a canyon. We just followed a little creek inside and it revealed its beauty. Heavy mist was everywhere. The sound of gushing water blasted in our ears. And the second I was able to look up, I was astounded. I've always been in awe of waterfalls. There is something spiritual about them. Truth be told, it would take a thousand waterfalls to wash me of all my demons. But under Gljufrabui's mighty stream, I couldn't help but feel like I've been cleansed if only for a fleeting moment.
Afterwards, we ended up stopping at a more grandiose waterfall called Skogafoss to take some pictures. I was humbled.
Next on our agenda was Black Sand beach. Arnar spent almost 20 minutes talking about how strong the ocean current is on our next site. He forewarned us not to go near the surf or else be pulled in by the strength of the waves. No less than 30 seconds pass by after we left the bus, an Asian couple from my group ran next to the surf to take pictures. Guess what happened?...... A giant wave came out of nowhere! The boyfriend ran for his life and the girlfriend just stood there. She ended up getting toppled over by pure force. Luckily, Arnar dashed to save the day and got her up and out of the water just in time. The next wave would have sucked her into the ocean. Oy! It must have been a language barrier. I don't think anyone would choose to ignore the tour guide's warning after he talked about it for 20 minutes. Not to mention, the boyfriend must have been in deep trouble. I'm sure his "save myself" attitude didn't sit too well with the girlfriend after all was said and done. The guy is probably in the dog house for the remainder of the trip.
After I found out that everyone was safe, I redirected my focus on the beauty of this beach. It literally looked out of this world. The cliffs and rocks looked like enlarged black bricks cemented to each other like grills on a gate. The sand was black due to the active volcanoes prevalent all around Iceland. The clouds were overcast setting the scene up for a clip worthy of Lord of the Rings. I was lucky enough to capture some stills with the waves violently crashing onto the rocks. After seeing with my own eyes what these can do, coming back during the summer time to lay out on the beach is out of the question!
We stopped by the small village of Vic for a late lunch and some shopping before our 3 hour journey to our accommodations for the night.
I took a nap here and there while Arnar played some amazingly soothing Icelandic music. But I mostly stared into the darkness. I could make out some rock formations in the distance. But as the night progressed, visibility became difficult.
15 minutes before reaching our destination for the evening, we made a detour. The bus stopped and Arnar stepped out. He was gone for 5 minutes leaving us deliriously curious what he was up to. He came back with a big piece of ice he set in the middle of the bus. He pointed a flash light at it as we drove away. I was not impressed. What's the big deal about a block of ice? He then started to explain that it is a tiny piece of glacier. It's over a thousand years old. He was going to bring it to dinner so we could use it to ice our beverages. I changed my story so quick. My jaw pseudo dropped. I got a kick out of knowing that I was going to drink super clean tasting, non-polluted, thousand year old water.
We relaxed for a bit and settled in when we arrived at our accommodations for the night. Dinner followed after. We were led to a small structure several steps away from where we were going to sleep. It was made out of layered stone with a vaulted ceiling. In the center was a long communal table set for dinner with benches on each side. Lanterns hung down from the wooden beams and candles were placed along the middle of the table. There was even wolf skin hanging on one of the corners. All I needed was a tunic and a two horned hat and I was ready to eat like a Viking.
Our first course included fermented shark, sheep's testicles, dried haddock and smoked salmon. Needless to say, I helped myself to seconds with the salmon only. The fermented shark tasted like formaldehyde and the essence lingered in my nasal cavity. The sheep's testicles were okay. The sour vinegar flavor hid the gamy taste. The texture of the dried haddock was similar to biting into feathers. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I tried to explain to myself how the Vikings came about this smorgasbord of peculiar dishes. When I find out, I will write about it.
Our second course was Icelandic meat soup. It had oxtail with vegetables and potatoes in a hot broth. It was yummy and perfect for a cold night. I especially liked my share because my oxtail had a good amount of bone marrow. I LOVE bone marrow.
The room was alive. Everybody was conversing and having a good time over good food and drink. I couldn't even hate on the boxed wine being served. It was decent and did its job in getting everyone to loosen up. It was a fun way to end a day packed with activities. And after some light conversations about American politics, professing our love for travelling and the amazing day we had, it was time to hit the hay. Our journey was halfway finished but I was sure the most astounding places were yet to come.

- Description
Details
The Line 6 Relay G10T Wireless Guitar Transmitter has been expertly designed to simplify your guitar-playing experience. Whether you're a live performer or you've just had enough of those untidy guitar cables, the Relay G10T will become your new best friend. This superb piece of kit means you can just plug in your guitar and start playing right away, as easy as that.
The Relay G10T has a straightforward design that is well-designed for any user. In order to go wireless, you can merely plug in the 1/4 inch transmitter and the receiver works in turn with it to get you the best channel, thus maintaining the same sound quality that you would expect from a cable. Thankfully the Relay G10T is compatible with nearly all guitar types and this is facilitated by the XLR and 1/4 inch outputs. However, fear not, if your preferred guitar has a non-standard jack wiring, a 1/4” mono adapter will still connect you to the Relay G10T so you won't have to miss out.
For many live musicians it would be a total nightmare if the sound were to cut out. Line 6 have crafted the Relay G10T to last up to 8 hours whilst you're playing, so there is no need for any external gear or any cumbersome chargers. When the G10T is not in use it features a convenient sleep mode which extends the battery life, and this can last for as long as 200 hours!
Line 6 have employed "Cable Tone" technology which ensures that the guitar sounds just as smooth with no "pops" when you plug in the G10T. When on a dark stage, the G120T lights up to indicate the battery and sync status so that it's easy to see.
The G10T wireless transmitter works with the receivers in the Line 6 Spider V 60, 120 and 240 models and can easily be charged by plugging into the input jack on the amp. You can also charge via USB connectivity using the port on the G10T. With such versatile, innovative features, the Line 6 Relay G10T is the ideal gear to go wireless.

All About Princess Cut Engagement Rings
[Posted on Dec 21 2012]
The “Princess cut” is one of the most popular of all of the possible diamond cuts. Sometimes called a “square brilliant,” this cut has been a favorite for engagement rings for decades.
The Princess cut is believed to have originated in about 1979 with Basil Watermeyer. Betzalel Ambar and Isreal Itzkowitz are given credit for the development of the cut as well in 1980. Basil Watermeyer first patented the Barion cut which was also called the Profile cut. Both styles had a square shape but not as many facets as the current Princess cut which features 58 facets.
In terms of popularity, Princess cut engagement rings are second only to the Round diamond. Both of these cuts are among the most selected and favored diamond shapes used for engagement rings. In the relatively short amount of time since the Princess cut made its debut around 1979, it has truly made its mark on engagement ring styles and preferences.
The Princess cut shape begins as a square, and then it has angular ridges cut into its surface called “facets.” The faceted surface causes light to sparkle and dance all around the surface of the diamond. There are traditionally 58 facets in the Princess cut. These facets are what give Princess cut engagement rings that unforgettable eye-catching sparkle.
The 4 Cs
When it comes to pricing and quality, there is more to a diamond than just its cut. The 4 Cs refer to Cut, Color, Clarity and Carats, and all of these factors together are what can set a diamond apart from its peers. The beauty of a diamond isn’t just a subjective assessment; the quality rating of a diamond is connected with an inspection process that will determine its rating in terms of the 4 C’s.
Cut
This is considered the most important of the 4 Cs. It is an indicator of the proportion of the diamond, and it determines how much light will be able to pass through the stone. The more light that can enter; the more attractive it will appear.
Carat
The most commonly-discussed aspect of a diamond, “carat” refers to the weight and size of a diamond. The most common engagement ring sizes are from 0.5 to 1.5 carats. The number of carats impacts the diamond price.
Color
Diamond color is graded from letters D to Z. The closer to white, the better. The whitest diamond is graded a D, and if it has a high degree of yellow in it, it can get a grade of Z. Diamonds in colors such red or blue are referred to as fancy colored diamonds. They are rare and considered very valuable. A yellow hue indicates a diamonds lack of value, unless it is a canary diamond, which is a very beautiful tone of yellow.
Clarity
Clarity measures how many imperfections a diamond has. These are sometimes called blemishes or inclusions.” Generally, a good-quality diamond will need magnification to detect any imperfections.
A princess cut engagement ring will sweep her off her feet; just make sure you receive the diamond you are looking for in terms of the other 3 C’s as well. | https://www.dbddiamonds.com/princess-cut-engagement-rings/ | 2018-10-15T16:59:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

I personally do not use Twitter, nor do I consider 140-character tweets to be a good contribution to national media discourse. It promotes even shorter sound bites and higher frequency debate that doesn't help our country. However, the fact that I'm so averse to Twitter only goes to show the place it's taken in our communications. It's used constantly by leaders and politicians, and plays into political debates and news that dictate our course. It has become a part of our history and should be recorded as such.
I feel that it would be an invasion of privacy if congress had access to all our personal tweets. If a case came up where they needed to access a post on Twitter, it would be available online anyway.
The U.S. Congress should not be keeping a record of all the tweets at the Twitter website. It simply is not their business to monitor what is going on at Twitter. Plus, in a few years the information will be totally meaningless. Imagine if Congress had decided to monitor a social website such as Friendster or MySpace back when they were popular; what a complete waste of time that would have been in retrospect.
I think that Congress has the right to keep a digital archive of every public tweet from Twitter. I wouldn't say this is the best use of time or resources, but it may be useful many years from now, for historical purposes, or for legal reasons. Anyone on Twitter should understand that it's a public forum and may be recorded. The records could be used for various reasons in the future, so I don't think it hurts to have everything tracked.
Stupid waste of resources.
The U.S. government has no right to monitor or archive our Tweets, Facebook, phone conversations, or anything else. National security should never take away from the rights of the citizens. Terrorism has been, and always will be, an issue in this country, and in others. But, is giving up our security really worth the loss of our basic freedoms? People should be revolting in the streets, instead of sitting idly by, watching the freedoms so many brave men and women have died to protect being taken from us.
Speaking in a public form is free game for anyone to take record of, however, when it comes to the government keeping the record, people should have the right to know this is occurring. Further more it should be disclosed why they are collecting this information and how it will be used.
Monitoring and archiving tweets is in direct opposition to the First Amendment of the United States, which states, in part, that "freedom of speech should not be abridged". By archiving tweets, the government would effectively diminish one area of spirited public debate, a cornerstone of the American democracy. Any intrusion into free speech marks the beginning of a police state.
Twitter is an interesting social phenomenon, however, I don't believe Congress is the entity that should be in charge of archiving it. There are plenty of other means of archiving and storing Twitter tweets, both public and private. Congress needs to focus on their job, which is passing and debating legislation pertinent to the best interests of the country.
Congress has more pressing functions than archiving tweets. While there is certainly some future interest in historical tweets, private actors could do this job as well or better than Congress. Further, although the tweets are public, many users post tweets expecting them to be semi-private because they are not important enough to attract attention. Digital archiving likely entails public access now or in the future, which is something users likely do not contemplate when posting.
I do not believe Congress should keep an archive of every public Tweet from Twitter because it imposes on basic privacy and the right to free speech of people. For the most part, Tweets are not something we have to worry about in terms of public safety or national security. Then there are the costs of this function, which our nation can hardly afford during the current economy.
While it may be possible to store them, the sheer volume would make them an inexhaustible resource which could not be sorted, organized or retrieved within any real-time manner. There are millions of tweets every single day, in hundreds of languages, and it is not conceivable that congress can organize and archive them all so that they can be retrieved in any type of on-demand process. While, conceptually, they may think it is a good idea to track this information, I think those who may wish to do so do not fully comprehend the volume of information they are wishing to store, let alone how they intend to attempt retrieval and use this information.
There is no reason why the government should put any effort into archiving tweets. Twitter is just another form of social networking, and the government has nothing to do with it. It doesn't make any sense for the government to be interested in keeping track of tweets, any more than comments on blogs or forum websites. The government has more important things to do.
I believe that every individual should be able to communicate and receive such. Having a digital record of all tweets will amount to infringing on the people's rights to interact.
There is also the issue of people have innocent conservations and using what the government regards as keywords. Such persons can get arrested for having genuine conversations. | https://www.debate.org/opinions/should-congress-be-keeping-a-digital-archive-of-every-public-tweet-from-the-popular-social-media-site-twitter | 2018-10-15T16:58:08 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Maryland Senate President's stormwater bill moves forward
A bill to end mandatory stormwater management fees is moving through the Maryland Senate.
On Thursday senators progressed the legislation, sponsored by Sen. President Thomas V. Mike Miller, without opposition to the voting stage.
After the session, Miller said it appeared to be smooth bill for the legislation, which would free counties from paying mandated fees to support pollution reduction in the Chesapeake Bay.
Currently nine counties and Baltimore city pay the fees, which critics call the "rain tax."
Under Miller's bill, counties would be allowed to show they could meet federal stormwater requirements on their own terms.
Gov. Larry Hogan had proposed his own repeal of the fees, but the bill was defeated at committee level in both the House and Senate.

Silent Invaders – Termite Control
Subterranean Termites build mud tubes from ground nests into your home while their dry-wood cousins go straight for exterior wood crevices and eat their way into the house. These pests resemble ants, but both types of termites have plumb bodies and straight antennae. Because they live inside your home’s structure, it’s extremely hard to see them or detect their nests. Without professional control, a colony quietly grows, and their constant foraging causes expensive structural damage.
Yonkers Pest Control
Yonkers deserves its nickname as the Gateway to the Hudson Valley, but your home shouldn’t feel like a gateway for unwanted guests. While the beautiful riverfront gives our city its unique charm, it also helps support a huge pest population including these three determined household intruders. Our Yonkers Pest Control Exterminator will identify the source of the pest infestation & create a customized treatment plan to eliminate the pests.
Furry Intruders – Rodent Control
Mice and rats don’t need the excuse of a cold New York Winter to invade your home. These rodents have adapted to urban life and gain entry through plumbing hookups, insulation and chew soft wood as they build nest in walls, crawl spaces and attics. Rodent droppings spread bacteria and odors all around the house, and their gnawing damages sheetrock and compromises the safety of home electrical systems. When you need an experiences professional pest control service, contact our Yonkers Exterminator first here at Dependable Exterminating for a free estimate. We’ve taken care of home infestations throughout the area since 1985, and we’re always ready to permanently close the gate on your pest problem.

If you think bed bugs only follow you home from a hotel stay, you underestimate their ability to travel. While they often hitch rides in suitcases, these tiny insects take trips in stored bedding, used furniture and even purses and briefcases. Their round, reddish bodies are almost impossible to see because the nocturnal pests spend their days burrowed into cracks and crevices around the house. You might not realize that you’re dealing with an infestation until bed bugs turn you into a midnight meal. | https://www.dependableexterminating.com/yonkers-ny-pest-control.html | 2018-10-15T16:54:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
A Chesterfield charity that provides vital support for the town’s vulnerable and elderly is set to have its funding slashed - and it is warned that the move could have ‘disastrous’ consequences.
The Volunteer Centre is one of dozens of ‘lifeline’ charities who received an unwelcome surprise on the 70th Anniversary of the NHS- a letter from the local Clinical Commissioning Group revealing plans to cut grant funding in a bid to make savings of £80m.
While still at the consultation stage, if approved the cuts would represent a huge financial blow to the charity, which depends on grants for services such as its befriending scheme and volunteer transport provision.
Many elderly and vulnerable residents rely on these services to keep well, stay independent and access social contact.
Dave Radford, manager, said: “We are only one of a number of organisations receiving this news our befriending.”
A spokesman for NHS Derbyshire CCG said: “Governing bodies have concluded, in principle, that CCGs are no longer able to fund discretionary grants awarded to the voluntary sector.
“A formal engagement began last week, following on from the previous conversations we’ve had with voluntary organisations ahead of any final decision being made in August.
“We appreciate this is a very difficult and concerning time for the groups and we are going to continue to work closely with them to identify, and where possible mitigate, any areas of risk identified.”
Subject to a decision in August, a notice period of no less than three months will be issued to the groups that are affected. | https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/lifeline-chesterfield-charity-set-to-have-funding-slashed-with-disastrous-consequences-1-9246854 | 2018-10-15T16:58:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Design bodies must have better things to spend time on
Those of us of a certain age will recall that accreditation (DW 25 May) raises its head periodically, and particularly at a time when design bodies are casting around for something to justify their continuation.
About 20 years ago, the ‘old’ Design Council tried to force BS5750 (later ISO 9000) on a bewildered design community and engaged some ‘designosaurs’ (aging leaders of larger, established design companies at risk of dying out) in support.
Fortunately, some of the more youthful companies, led by us, whipped up comprehensive opposition and killed it before it acquired momentum. I do hope this will happen again. As a designosaur myself now, I’m not sure I’ve got the energy to do it again.

I can hear the sea
I’m lying in bed with the skylight open and I can hear the sea …
After an evening cup of coffee, I nipped out and headed over the dunes to take in the evening sunset. I just could not resist running downing to the water’s edge and dipping my toes in the sea …

Khris Davis hits 48th HR as A's handle Angels
Matt Chapman and Khris Davis homered, and the Oakland A's continued to dominate the punchless Detroit Tigers with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
Edwin Jackson (3-2) gave up one unearned run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings while collecting the victory. Blake Treinen pitched the ninth and recorded his 28th save.
The Athletics have won five straight during their sustained push for a playoff spot. They have given up just seven runs during the winning streak.
Chapman and Marcus Semien were the only Oakland players who recorded multi-hit games.
Detroit is 0-6 against the Athletics this season after dropping the first two games of the series, including a 1-0, 13-inning loss on Friday. Dating back to last season, the Tigers have lost 11 straight to Oakland.
Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann (4-4) gave up both runs on six hits while striking out six in 6 1/3 innings. Zimmermann has lost his last four starts.
Jeimer Candelario had two hits and knocked in the lone run for Detroit. The Tigers, who came into the game batting .230 on the road, had just one extra-base hit. They are now 17-18 in one-run games.
A miscue led to the Tigers' first-inning run. Leadoff hitter JaCoby Jones hit a shallow fly to left, and Oakland shortstop Marcus Semien and left fielder Nick Martini collided on the play as the ball dropped in. Martini was charged with a two-base error. Jones scored on Candelario's two-out single.
Oakland loaded the bases in the first, but Zimmermann escaped the jam when Stephen Piscotty lined out to right.
The A's used the long ball to take the lead in the third. Chapman led off the inning with a homer to center, his 14th. One out later, Davis drilled a no-doubter to left-center for his 30th homer this season.
Oakland left a runner on third in the fourth. The A's stranded two more in the seventh when reliever Drew VerHagen struck out Jed Lowrie.
Treinen gave up a two-out single to Candelario but struck out pinch-hitter James McCann to end the game.

Hydie by camilladerricoWatch
©2018 camilladerrico
What is your heritage? I’m Italian/Canadian. 🇮🇹💓🇨🇦I believe that we are all connected, we are all human and we should celebrate that. “Hydie” shows us that one person can be the product of multiple cultures, each dragon comes from a different country and represents multiculturalism. She doesn’t see the world through her eyes but through her heritage. I hope that she brings you a sense of community and love. Prints of her are online at store.camilladerrico.com and she’ll also be at SDCC booth 4723! Super hugs lovelies! 🌏🤝🌍🤝🌎 #weareallconnected #thehumanrainbow #dragonspirit #motherofdragons #multicultural #sdcc2018 #SanDiegoComicCon #CamilladErrico #love #somedragonsaremisunderstood
I love this! So magical and amazing! I love how everything except for the dragons (which are so colorful and amazing) is in more of a muted tone, to give emphasis to the dragons, so your eyes immediately turn to the dragons!!
This is just magical!
Beautiful
very nice
Amazing work!
Super amazing concept!!
I'm just plain American, But I love your art! I have a book of yours as well.
very good
I am American-German, but my mother, while born in Germany, was raised in Indiana and my grandmother was forbidden to teach her children German, so sadly, we don't know too much about our German heritage. Only that my grandmother's mother owned a castle that was donated to a museum after her death, but we don't know which one nor where in Germany. Since I was small, I've been enamored with Japanese culture. People put a bad stigma on people who want to learn about, love, and want to live in a country with a culture that they ave no blood ties to (especially to Japan if they happen to like anime, regardless that I was introduced to Japan first through an interest in Chinese and Japanese ancient art on PBS, and regardless, I don't think it should matter where you start if you put in the effort required to learn the language and culture anyways), but honestly, I feel more connected with Japanese culture than my own German heritage because I grew up learning more about Japan and loving Japan and yearning to learn the language. I know that I am not Japanese and I'd only be Japanese by citizenship when I do live there. But I don't think that should invalidate the love and sense of identity that I have, not in being Japanese, but in loving Japan and being connected to it in that way. Sorry for the rant.
This looks like something you'd see in an art gallery. Bravo
Stunning <3
Magnifico!

"We need to change the mindset of people"
When Saw Neldar first heard of a training course on gender roles and gender-based violence, he wasn’t at all interested; however, a friend convinced him to attend. Now, he is working as a volunteer, promoting gender justice and trying to change men’s behaviour in Myanmar.
“There are very many cases of gender-based violence in Myanmar, including child rape. Therefore, it’s important to raise awareness of the consequences and to try to reduce its occurrence.”
Gender-based violence is closely linked to culture and tradition in Myanmar and is widespread. Therefore, Diakonia’s partner organization, the Women’s Organizations Network (WON), is focusing on raising community awareness of the concept of gender and the nature of gender-based violence and its effects on people’s lives. WON also informs people about the laws and conventions that protect women.
Has volunteered as a peer educator
“Now, I understand that gender-based violence has a huge impact on the lives of women and children, and I think that we all have a responsibility to end it,” says Saw Neldar.
Saw Neldar has volunteered as a peer educator in a project that aims to end gender-based violence in his community. His awareness of the problem and his dedication to doing something about it are the results of his attending one of WON’s training courses.
Has already seen changes
Saw Neldar has started talking to almost everyone he meets about the issues. He has asked his close friends to respect women and to stop teasing them in the street. He has even talked to his parents and relatives about the different types of gender-based violence. As a result of his discussions with them, his parents realised that they were both physically and verbally violent towards each other.
“After our discussion, I noticed that they started to change their behaviour.” says Saw Neldar.
Talks about myths around menstruation
Saw Neldar has also gained knowledge about women’s reproductive health, a theme surrounded by myths in his society. He remembers his own mother telling his younger sister to take traditional medicine (kay-thi-pan) in order to clean her blood. The women in his family also used to avoid washing their hair during their periods, as they believed it might stop the menstruation and leave dirty blood in the uterus, which could cause cancer.
“Now, I know that menstruation involves nothing but clean blood from the body and I have told my mother, sister, and cousins to stop this practice.
Is gaining more respect in the community
For a man, raising gender issues and topics related to women’s rights is not always easy. Sometimes Saw Neldar has to put up with teasing and jokes about being gay.
“But I try not to listen and stick to the facts, and I’m gaining more respect in the community now.”

Organiphobia Newsletter
Organiphobia
Organiphobes are those who oppose organic products, techniques and programs.
Bayou Bend - a Great Example of Organic Success
Houston, Texas. It’s a good time to update a column I wrote years ago about why it is so hard to get everyone to jump on board the better program.
Why are the majority of homeowner’s, farmers, ranchers, golf course superintendents and landscape professionals still using the toxic chemistry approach even though the organic approach has been proven so successful on residential and commercial properties of all sizes? The reason is that these people are organiphobes. Some are literally even afraid of the term “organics.” Organiphobes have a fear of organics for five basic reasons:
1. Understanding organic techniques. Organiphobes know how to recommend and use the toxic chemical products, but they don’t yet understand the organic products and techniques. These concepts and details are not usually covered in university research nor are they featured in the traditional industry publications. In addition, no comprehensive organic program is being taught at any major university. Most people have a strong tendency to stay with procedures and products that they have dealt with in the past and understand how to use.
2. Profit from chemical sales. Many people make money from the sale of toxic chemicals. Those whose income is received directly or indirectly from the sale of toxic pesticides and artificial fertilizers are usually organiphobes. At stake here are advertising money, commissions, research grant money, bonuses, kick backs, gifts, basic salaries and cash flow. It’s an understandable situation.
3. Paradigm problems. Paradigms are the boxes we allow ourselves to be put in and held in. People with paradigm problems are usually not stupid. Organiphobes not only can’t understand what we're talking about, but they also can’t even see the other options at all. For these people, organic techniques don’t exist or they aren’t just worth considering as proper horticulture and agriculture. Such people can’t see how significantly the world is changing, nor can they see that working with nature is much easier and more cost effective than trying to dominate it with the toxic chemistry products that don’t work well overall.
4. Fear of standing alone. Most people feel intimidated about going against the grain and being mavericks or pioneers. It is much more comfortable for them to continue doing what others are doing – even if it is wrong. When adopting the organic approach, each person needs to accept more personal responsibility. Since the majority of people in landscaping, horticulture and agriculture have no formal training or research in organics, they are uncomfortable with that much responsibility. If something goes wrong with the toxic chemistry approach, which it usually does, the organiphobes can simply say that they are using "state-of-the-art" technology and the failure is not their fault.
5. Inability to admit being wrong. This may be the most powerful obstacle. It’s difficult for most folks to admit to a mistake. The bigger the mistake, the harder the admission. The loudest critics of organics are those who are the most schooled in using the “treat-the-symptom-with-artificial-products” approach. Some PhDs understand nature’s workings, but many focus only on their specialty and don’t consider nature as a whole. They can’t see the entire picture.
Today many thousands of large-scale commercial projects, small commercial projects and residential gardens are organic and thriving. Yet organiphobia persists. Unfortunately, the organiphobes still have majority control. On the positive side, toxic-chemical rescue systems are on the decline, and organic methods are gathering momentum. The reason is simple: The Natural Way works best. Read More – Basic Organic Program.

I agreed with the previous reviews. She was fabulous woman, she knows how to please a man, and she's very open-minded and easy to get with. I love how she cared me, seduced me, and she has a genuine charm like an angle. A massaged after the "main event" was quite perfectly relaxing, no wasting of time - excellent experience! | https://www.dollsandroses.com/model/clarissa/ | 2018-10-15T17:44:52 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

About the tour
The light and the landscape of the Tuscany region in Italy simply has to be experienced to be believed. If ever there was a perfect place to be a photographer, Tuscany is it. Golden light streaks across the horizon, making the endless rows of grapevines, fruit trees, and fields of flowers glow with an incredible warmth. Ancient villas, chapels and farmhouses are nestled below rolling hills, and blue skies are filled with puffy clouds.
Colors are everywhere. Patterns, shapes and textures almost beg to be photographed. Quaint hill towns, rich in culture and full of friendly, welcoming locals will be calling out to us as we travel...and we’ll photograph it all. Best of all we go as a
small group of only 6
participants and me, your professional leader.
This is a cultural photo tour, which means we’ll be traveling together and I will be photographing alongside you. Most of our time will be spent in the field in both city and countryside areas. One-on-one image review, and group critique sessions are optional as space and time allow.
Read My Tour Reviews
Itinerary
May 7
Fly into Peretola International Airport in Florence arriving sometime during late afternoon or early evening. We meet in the evening in Florence, Italy.
May 8-10
The next two full, and one half days will be spent photographing the highlights of this historic and beautiful capital of Tuscany. Most of the photo sites in Florence are within a compact area and walking is the best way to see and capture compelling images, so we won’t have or need a vehicle in Florence. Buses and taxis are always available if you simply don’t want to walk.
May 10-16
On the 10th we’ll move by mini-bus to southeastern Tuscany, where we’ll be based in
Pienza
, a charming hill town in the heart of the most picturesque region in all of Tuscany. We spend 6 nights at a wonderful Bed and Breakfast in Pienza. Each day from the 10th through the 16th we’ll get out early into the surrounding countryside for magic light photography. During mid-day, there will be time to explore, dine, taste wine, do more photography or simply relax as you wish. We’ll then go as a group to another one of my favorite destinations somewhere in the countryside each evening in order to capture the magic light on the landscape which occurs around sunset.
May 16
On May 16th the tour ends back in Florence at the Peretola airport at about noon. Fly home this day after 4pm.

About you
All levels of photographers are welcome on my tours, from the beginner to the seasoned pro.
You should be reasonably fit and able to walk short distances over sometimes rough terrain for this trip. There aren’t any long hikes on this tour, but we will be walking up some steep, uneven steps and across open fields in order to capture our magic light photos. The type of camera you use doesn't matter, and non-photographer friends and spouses will enjoy this trip as well. In fact anyone who likes culture, cuisine, wine, gorgeous scenery and friendly people will love this tour.
