“Act of Violence” explores the choices one makes creating the sometimes thin line between being a hero and an informer. Frank Enley (Van Heflin) is a war hero, maybe. He has a beautiful wife, (a young fresh faced, Janet Leigh), a young boy, a thriving business, a house in the California suburbs and is well respected in the business community. He goes on weekend fishing trips with his neighbor while the wives are happily at home. Into this tranquil and serene world comes Joe Parkson (Robert Ryan), a limping, gun carrying, revenge seeking former army buddy who is dead set on killing Frank. Parkson is sinister looking, seething with hate. Joe cannot forget or forgive what happened back when they were prisoners of war in a Nazi stalag camp.
Frank was the highest ranking prisoner in the German P.O.W. camp. He and Joe were also good friends until Joe and a group of other P.O.W.’s planned an escape, via a supposed secret tunnel. Frank pleaded with Joe not to do it, telling him the Germans knew about the tunnel making the plan too dangerous, they would never make it and would all be killed. He tries to persuade the others not to go on with the planned escape. They don’t or won’t listen. Frank decides to go to the camp’s commander, telling them about the escape plan, extracting a promise from him; they will go easy on the escapees. On the night of the escape, the Nazi’s go back on their word and massacre the escaping prisoners; all except for Joe who manages to survive, and escape, by playing dead, his bum leg, a lasting memory of Frank’s treasonous act. The Germans treat Frank as a hero, giving him special treatment, plenty of good food while his remaining fellow prisoners are left starving and ill treated.
Frank returns home to a life of family, success and tranquility while Joe’s life has taken another road entirely, one filled with hatred and revenge. It’s eating him up. He’s got a girl, Ann (Phyllis Thaxter) who loves him and knows that he has a kind side. She does her best, continually pleading with Joe to forget about the past telling him to let’s just go home back east. But Joe cannot forget, he cannot forgive, he’s filled with rage which will only find release by killing Frank.
Frank goes on the run attempting to hide from Joe but Joe keeps tracking him down. Then one night in a drunken stupor, Frank connects with an over the hill tramp named Pat (Mary Astor) and a shady punk named Johnny (Berry Kroeger) who squeezes some dough from the hung over Frank as payment for Johnny to bump off Joe. The next morning Frank realizes what he agreed too and heads out the find the place Johnny has duped Joe into showing up, thinking Frank will be there, unaware of Johnny’s own plan to kill him. The climax comes in the final scenes with Frank’s redemption, costing him his life, but saving Joe’s.
Director Fred Zinnemann and screenwriter Robert L. Richards weave a story filled with complex and moral issues of right, wrong, guilt and betrayal. Frank survived and has done well since the war ended with both family and career. Still, it has taken its toll on him; so much so, he is no longer sure why he informed. Wasn’t he just trying to save his men in a fool hearted attempt, trusting the Nazi’s to do the right thing, or did he really betray his own men, sacrifice lives to extract favors for himself and damning his fellow prisoners to hell.
I love the script of this movie, the complexity of it. The two main characters are fully realized. No one is all good or all bad. Frank’s motive for informing always remains uncertain. It’s easy to say, “The guy squealed and was a traitor” but how sure are we of his original motive? We don’t know, and at this point in his life, years after the war, he is no longer sure why he did it. Whatever his reason, his actions changed the lives of many though the prisoners involved in the escape were mostly doomed either way. Then again, we are never sure the Nazi’s knew about the escape plans until Frank told them.
Robert Ryan is never anything but perfect as the revenge seeking ex-soldier. After all, who plays disgruntled better than Ryan? If you need an actor with a chip on his shoulder, Robert Ryan is your man. Van Heflin is Mr. Nice Guy who is hiding his dark secrets from the world that is from everyone but Ryan. Conflicted, trying to hold on to his life, Van Heflin gives a strong sensitive portrayal of a man whose life is quickly spiraling out of control. A young, still dark blonde haired, Janet Leigh is Van Heflin’s sweet wife, a role with not much meat on it. A few years later Leigh would appear in another noir classic, Orson Welles “Touch of Evil.” Phyllis Thaxter handles her role as Ryan’s love interest with loving desperation.
My two favorite performances in the film though are reserved for Berry Kroeger and Mary Astor. Kroeger is a perfectly slimy lowlife willing to kill for cash. Kroeger is not well known but has contributed to such films as “Gun Crazy,” Cry of the City” and “The Dark Past” as well as many, many TV shows. Mary Astor who only a few years earlier played the devilish Brigid O’Shaughnessy in John Huston’s masterpiece, “The Maltese Falcon” gave what turned out to be one of her last meaty role, as Pat, a prostitute who has seen better days. Pat, is a bit frumpy, a rough around the edges broad who knows her best days are behind her and like Johnny is looking to soak Frank for a few bucks. It’s a terrific desperate performance.

John, an excellent post on an early Zinneman film that should be better known. I think you do this terrific little film great justice with your sympathetic review of it. His films lack the disctinctive stylistic touches of an auteur director, causing him to be looked down on by many critics. But I find him an accomplished craftsman and reliable director of compelling if not always exciting movies.
Heflin’s not an actor I like a lot, but I think this may be his most interesting performance. He’s the nice guy he usually played but with a tortured edge. He seems to be trapped in a situation that’s the result of a questionable decision he made earlier with good intentions but whose consequences were taken out of his control. This situation of being trapped in circumstances he’s both responsible and not responsible for, of being neither wholly guilty or wholly innocent, gives the film an intriguing ambiguity that really holds your interest. The hit he arranges in a moment of weakness almost replicates the bad decision he made earlier and now regrets. Mary Astor is very sympathetic as the washed-up prostitute, my favorite of her post-“Maltese Falcon”/”The Great Lie” performances. Glad that you mentioned cinematographer Surtees, one of the best and a real master of b&w.
I recall how well Zinneman used certain locations in this film. I particularly remember the Craftsman-style house Heflin and Leigh live in, Angel’s Flight in L.A. that was used in so many noirs like “Kiss Me Deadly,” and the scenes at the lake.
I thought Van Heflin did a fine job as the tormented Frank grappling with his survivor guilt, but Robert Ryan really blew me away with his yearning for vengeance, while nevertheless being so much more than a neo-bogey man terrorizing Frank. Admittedly, I may be a tad biased because my dear late mom was a big fan of Robert Ryan, and her enthusiasm rubbed off on me when I was a teen. 🙂 Excellent review, my friend!
I like that Dorian! For an MGM film this was definitely on the dark side. I don’t think anyone other than film freaks know the difference in studio styles, but for those of us that do this film comes as quite a surprise as it does coming from the land of Garland, Kelly and Astaire.
It is definitely a terrific little film that deserves more attention. As for Ryan, I am there with you. He never gives a bad performance. Thanks, as always, for stopping by.
I’ve never even heard of this film before. I really like the story premise–it is strangely original. I like the idea of a film based on previous actions in a POW camp. Great review.
Think you would like this Kim. It pops up on TCM now and then and is available on DVD. Yes, the concept is interesting and the filmmakers do a nice job here.
I’ve always liked Fred Zinnemann’s films and I’ve read about this one but have never seen it. I know Zinnemann may not be a stylist, but he had good instincts about stories and complex themes. I’ll definitely look for this one.
I agree, I am a big fan of his FROM HERE TO ETERNITY and HIGH NOON. Hope you get to see it. Thanks!!!
What a brilliant noir this was. Though film noirs and fatalism usually went hand in hand, I’ve really seen very few noirs that were as fatalistic as this film. Yet, despite its existential bleakness, this was also quietness personified as silence (along with the sparsely used melancholic score) was used to such terrific effect to further accentuate the incredible moodiness of the storyline and the photography. I felt Cronenberg’s A History of Violence had significant thematic resemblance with this Zinnemann classic. By the way, I wasn’t aware that this is considered as part of a loosely composed trilogy – thanks for that info.
Terrific review as always John!!!
I am not sure if anyone ever considered it trilogy other than me. I used the term because of the World War II theme that runs through all three. There is a dark desparate feeling that runs through this film that you cannot shake off. You use the word fatalistic and I cannot think of a more appropriate word. Great comment and thanks!!!
Indeed John, and you are absolutely dead-on to issue effusive praise for this very underrated and relatively unknown noir thriller that showcases yet another stupendous turn from Robert Ryan. I saw this recently at the Robert Ryan Film Festival and I found myself nodding my head to every excellent point you make in this utterly engaging appraisal. I agree that Astor was marvelous too, and as you rightly note Van Heflin delivers a sensitive portrayal. There are elements of Orson Welles THE STRANGER in this story and teh film is taut, well-observed and skillfully directed by Zinnemann, and atmospherically photographed by Robert Surtees. Golden Age composer Bronislau Kaper contributes a textured score as well.
Wish I could have been there for the Robert Ryan festival at the Film Forum. What a magificent list of films and performances, one excellent one after another. I admire this film more and more with each viewing.
John – Much insight on a fascinating film. I saw “Act of Violence” for the first time just a year or so ago and was surprised I hadn’t heard more about it. Many fine performances (I can’t resist either Robert Ryan or Mary Astor), an interesting story of thought-provoking themes and an atmosphere that is so taut at times that the viewer (i.e., me) nearly breaks out in a sweat. I’ve only seen “Act of Violence” once, but after reading this piece I feel like I need to see it again. Great post!
This a a very tight and tense film so I can understand you breaking out in a sweat. The tension never lets up and the characters are so well drawn. There were times I would feel sympathy for Van Heflin’s character, then other times, I wold say he is getting what he deserves. In the end he finds his redemption and Ryan’s character finds peace. Sadly, Janet Leigh and the child lost a husband and a father.
John – In the beginning I felt total sympathy for Frank and pure animosity for Joe whose rage toward Frank seemed irrational. Of course, once Frank’s secret came out, Joe’s behavior was easily understood, if not exactly supported. It would’ve been much easier for me to turn completely against Frank if he hadn’t had a family (and if Van Heflin hadn’t been the actor he was). Terrific film.
True Eve, the film has the ability to make your emotions and feelings change as the story continues to unfold. Wonderful stuff! | 2019-04-25T20:19:07 | https://twentyfourframes.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/act-of-violence-1948-fred-zinnemann/ |

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney reflects on the weekend’s events at Eastlands.
When it happened on Saturday, I couldn’t really put my feelings into words. But being somebody who commentates on a lot of the goings on at Manchester City, I knew that the sacking of Mark Hughes and the appointment of Roberto Mancini was something that I couldn’t ignore. But as I sat down on Saturday evening, nothing came from my keyboard and I found I was browsing Facebook, using Windows Live Messenger and Tweeting more than I do normally.
So, I thought I’d try again on Sunday. And again, nothing happened. Microsoft Word remained well and truly wordless.
And then it occurred to me why I was finding it so difficult to put my feelings down in an article such as this one. It was because it was something I didn’t have any strong feelings on either way – unlike with topics such as Jeremy Clarkson, self-service checkouts or the BNP, I wasn’t motivated to put pen to paper. Or finger to keyboard. Or whatever the modern day equivalent of that cliché is.
See, part of my problem is that I have no prior knowledge about Roberto Mancini. I’m sorry if that seems absurd, but it’s the truth – I have no real interest in Italian football and he’s spent a large portion of his career (ie. all of it except four games) over there. For me, Italian football is very much like Lily Allen’s music; I know it exists and a lot of people like it, but I’ve never actually gone looking for it because I tend to find it quite dull.
All I know about Mancini is that he used to manage Inter Milan and spent a bit of time at Leicester City when they weren’t hanging around the second division or whatever it’s called this season, but apart from that I’ve only got Wikipedia to go off. And Wikipedia once told me Titus Bramble was attracting the attention of Barcelona to the tune of £100m after being voted World Player of the Year… And I didn’t make that up.
It seems he won a few honours in Italy – the cup with Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter Milan. Along with the league title three times with the latter, as well. Which, if anything, must bode well for City’s upcoming Carling Cup semi-final with Manchester United. And, yes, I suppose that’s more than “a few honours in Italy”.
But are those statistics slightly skewed? A bit of reading around the subject tells me that the first title was won by default; Juventus originally won the league, but it later became clear that the results of several games could have been handed to the newswires before they had actually kicked off. Inter Milan were simply the highest placed team after points deductions.
Though the following season, all that seems to be immaterial. Inter went on a massive winning streak and the points deductions of rivals (Lazio lost three points, AC Milan eight points, Reggina 11 points, Fiorentina 15 points, while Juventus were relegated to Serie B) weren’t influential in the outcome of the season. Inter finished a massive 22 points ahead of second placed Roma and 36 points ahead of city rivals AC Milan.
I wouldn’t grumble about that. Though I won’t be expecting us to finish 36 points ahead of Manchester United just yet.
What might be something to grumble about is the manner in which the managerial change has been conducted. It’s been floating around the press for a while that Mark Hughes hasn’t been far from the sack, but for it to have been announced directly after a 4-3 victory and a wave goodbye to the crowd suggests that the decision had been made some time ago and Hughes himself knew before the match kicked off. Whether he had been told in an official capacity or not is unclear, especially after his statement to the press on Sunday, but as he left the pitch he certainly looked like he was well aware that he wouldn’t be taking training yesterday.
But, then again, some would argue that City have never been good at sacking managers.
I’m just not sure I see the logic in swapping a manager who is untried and unproven at the top level in England for a manager who is untried and unproven at the top level in England. Especially when the club isn’t yet at the top level in England.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m as fickle as the next football fan and when success comes to City – be it with Mancini with Hughes’s players, Mancini with his own players, whoever takes over from the new man, or whoever takes over from whoever takes over from the new man, using whatever players are still around from any scenario I’ve painted in this rather long and unnecessary paragraph – I’ll be as happy as a man who’s just discovered that 4.00pm meeting on a Friday has been cancelled.
I suppose I just feel a bit sorry for Mark Hughes, who was on course for what a lot of City fans would have seen as a successful season – a top six finish and a cup win. Ok, neither is guaranteed, but with two cup games against Manchester United coming up and their unease at using first team players for the competition, and with a game in hand while already sitting in sixth position, both outcomes were, and still are, certainly possible.
But I suppose the biggest reason why this article has been totally underwhelming is, when it comes down to it, what’s done is done. Mark Hughes has been sacked, Roberto Mancini is the manager, Manchester City is my football club and I’ll be cheering them come rain, snow, sleet, hail, or shine next Saturday. | 2019-04-19T13:05:27 | https://www.footballfancast.com/opinion-2/football-blogs/harsh-sparky-man-city-move |

This is for the sweeper blade assembly Part # 76100001, Sweeper Blade Assembly.
Add $30 per additional foot greater than 3'.
To order the correct blade length, measure the rubber edge of the blade. Blade length = rubber length. This applies to complete sweeper blade assemblies and to back-up blades.
If a customer wants a 45" long sweeper blade per the description and illustration shown above.
The customer would determine 45" is longer than 36" shown above for the base length and less than 48" (next one(1) foot increment).
The customer would pay $475.75 (for the base length of 36") plus $30.00 for the additional one (1) foot extra length.
Thus, the customer would pay $505.75 for a 45" long complete sweeper blade. | 2019-04-26T15:46:11 | http://www.safesys.com/sweeper-blade-assemblies.html |

The coca leaf is not cocaine, but a key plant in the culture of Andean peoples. Jorge Ronderos Valderrama, a professor at the University of Caldas (Colombia) and coordinator of the research team and the magazine “Culture and drugs” asserts this. Valderrama spoke with Orsetta Ronderos Bellani, contributor with El Reportero in San Francisco.
Professor Ronderos Valderrama, what is the process of transformation of the coca leaf into cocaine?
Cocaine is an alkaloid of the coca plant, which has other alkaloids, such as nicotine and caffeine. Macerating coca leaves and using substances such as hydrochloride, sulfate, and in some cases, gasoline, is removing the “glass” of cocaine, which is a white powder. Often the alkaloid, the cocaine, is misnamed coca. “Coca” is the plant, which is a very different thing.
In which ways do indigenous peoples of the Andes use the coca leaf?
In the Andean cultures the coca plant is used for shamanic and healing ends, for some infections such as abscess. The traditional use is the mambeo, which consists of chewing it and mixing it with saliva, and is usually done with a purpose and in a particular ritual context. For example the Indians of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia say they chew coca to “weave thoughts”. The coca is also used as food.
What are the largest producers of coke? And which countries are the largest consumers of cocaine?
The countries that produce the coca plant are Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela, in a part of the Andes. Cocaine is often produced illegally in these countries and most of it is sent to the United States, being the largest consumer, covering 70 percent of the global consumption.
What definition of drug has been adopted by your research team? According to this definition, which substances can be considered drugs?
Usually by “drug”, people refer to some forbidden psychoactive substances. Instead, my research team considers the concept of drug from a wider point of view, or as any biologically active substance, which at the moment it is incorporated into a body, it produces change and, specifically in human beings, a change in the mood. This definition includes substances such as sugar, chocolate, cigarettes, chili, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, caffeine, drugs, soft drinks, alcohol and perfume.
From what point of view does your research team study drugs?
We study drugs in the way that emerge in every culture, why and how they are used, in which doses they produce health problems. For example alcohol, a drug that in our Western culture is consumed for millennia, if used properly is not negative: a given dose of alcohol can be a remedy, but used improperly is poison. Another example is sugar. There have been identified about one hundred diseases associated with its use, or rather abuse, and we know the case of a Peruvian community in the Amazon where the population is addicted to sugar: they compulsively consume it and they have serious health problems.
Many drugs are born as a remedy to cure a disease or, more generally, have had medical use. For example, in the sixteenth century, sugar was not consumed massively as it is done today, but it was used by doctors in European courts to cure melancholy. Another example is opium, which in the nineteenth century in Europe was used to cure various kinds of diseases, even to calm the crying of children. Cocaine, created in Europe around 1880, was the first anesthetic used in medicine. Obviously it is a substance that can produce very negative effects.
What determines, therefore, the term “drug” or “medicine”?
It depends on the cultural context, where medicine and science contribute to the formation of a culture. If we take the case of the depressed people, who are dependent subjects of antidepressant drugs, we see that our society consider them “good drugs” because they become legal drugs.
Why in the course of history and within the same culture some substances passed from being considered “medicines” to be considered “drugs”?
The definition is based on economic factors and mechanisms of power, rather than on the criteria for their degree of hazard. In Russia, during the time of the czars, coffee was banned: consumers of coffee were considered terrorists and persecuted, imprisoned and a piece of ear was cut from them in order to identify them as enemies of the system.
What is your opinion on the ban on the production, consumption and marketing of drugs as a strategy to combat drug trafficking?
Even if a certain substance is prohibited, while someone is interested in consuming it, someone will produce it. This is why in economy we talk about the laws of demand and supply. It is a fact that drug trafficking is a product of prohibition, that criminal cartels would lose much of their profits if the state legalizes it and controls the production and sale of drugs. During the Summit of Americas, which was held in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) in April 2012, Latin American governments recognized the failure of the “war on drugs”, which breeds corruption and becomes a war against population. | 2019-04-24T05:47:26 | http://elreporterosf.com/the-coca-leaf-is-not-cocaine/ |

Callum Lang found the net twice that saw Tranmere’s winning run come to an end as they suffered defeat at north-west rivals Oldham Athletic.
Latics took the lead after seven minutes when the impressive Callum Lang chased a long ball out of defence, and managed to cut in from the left and drilled his shot inside the near post from 12 yards (1-0).
Tranmere’s first strike on goal was denied by Latics goalkeeper Daniel Iversen when Oliver Banks the ex-Latics midfielder struck a long-range free-kick.
Latics doubled their lead after the hour mark as Mohamed Maouche’s pass allowed Callum Lang to run at the Tranmere’s defence and he struck it into the far corner from 16 yards (2-0).

Back to school season has officially taken hold, now that various parts of the US have all returned to school. Papo started school almost a month ago! Dittles attends virtual school, so it’s a bit different for her.
The beginning of a new school year can be an especially challenging time for families with children who struggle with reading and writing, math, organization and focus. Did you know that one in five children in the U.S. have learning and attention issues, like ADHD and dyslexia? Children with these types of challenges – many of whom have never been formally diagnosed – can feel especially stressed during the back-to-school season as they face new subjects, teachers and schools.
The Ad Council and Understood.org have partnered to promote ways children and their families can be First-Day Ready. Understood.org is offering a free First-Day Ready Guide to help parents with students at every age successfully manage back-to-school transitions. Understood.org is a free, easy-to-use online resource and community designed to support parents and caregivers of children with learning and attention issues.
As the new school year approaches, we were excited to get personalized tips from the First-Day Ready Guide to help our kids make a great start. Both our kids are in 3rd and 4th grade, so we found this tip sheet helpful.
Check out these back-to-school tips from the Understood.org website. They helped my family; hopefully they can help yours too.
You can also take your child on a school tour to help ease fears by showing them how to find their classroom, nearby bathrooms, the cafeteria and other important places the first week of school. This can be a huge stress relief whether the child is new to the school or not. Just knowing where to go can help them feel more comfortable.
Connecting with your child’s teacher early on benefits everyone and creates a great starting point for the new year. This will give you an opportunity to share your child’s needs or learning style while expressing your support for the teacher and the challenges he/she may be facing with a new classroom full of students. You will help create an atmosphere of cooperation while speaking up for your child and his or her challenges.
Finally, get support! Many parents and students are going through the same experience. Understood.org and Understood’s Facebook page connect parents across the country to share information and learn from each other. You can also ask around your community and school to find other parents you can connect with.
So, no matter your child’s age or needs, make this Back-to-School season a seamless transition and positive experience! If you could use some help getting started on the right foot this school year, Understood.org is a great place to start.
All kids learn in different ways and at different paces. With the right support, all kids can thrive in school and in life. | 2019-04-24T20:29:40 | http://ilovefamilytravel.com/back-to-school-tips/ |
Is there a way to report as an output variable the "day of week?" In my IDF the "Day of Week for Start Day" is a Thursday and I want to debug operation scheduling during specific days. For example, how can I quickly assess what day corresponds to 05/30? FYI: I tried formatting the cells in excel Home>date (custom date format) but that approach does not do the trick.
The Site:Location object has an output variable called "Site Day Type Index". Output values are integers that align with specific day types that can have unique schedule profiles. | 2019-04-21T15:12:17 | https://unmethours.com/question/28790/output-day-of-week/ |

Entrepreneurship is the process of identifying and organising required resources to create value, taking both the risks and rewards associated with the new venture. As an entrepreneur, knowing your strengths is easy but facing and fixing your weaknesses can sometimes create inaction in all of us. It may sound simple to some, but the truth is, more attributes are required out of an individual in order to become a successful entrepreneur.
Riding on this global trend, entrepreneurship has also gained its popularity in Singapore in recent years whereby students are encouraged to find their own identities and unleash their creativity to turn their dreams into reality. Many governmental bodies such as SPRING Singapore have been set up to cater to the needs of these budding Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and to promote the economic growth of Singapore.
Even though these initatives are very effective, but one of the best preparation to be done before embarking on this long and tough entrepreneurship journey is none other than talking to people who have been through the same entrepreneurial path. Not only it prevents one from committing the same mistakes, it is more important to know how these successful entrepreneurs bounced back from their setbacks and hurdles, and emerged as a stronger contender each time. Sukanto Tanoto is someone who is willing to share his stories.
In an interview with Sukanto Tanoto, he was asked ‘What does it take to be successful in pioneering: create something out of nothing and what kind of people we need to lead this kind of business?” His reply was “people who take calculated risks”.
Sukanto Tanoto believes that calculated risk is not science; it depends on the ability of a person to take adversity and stress. Not all human beings are able to take calculated risks in business.
That is awesome! Best advise I’ve heard lately. | 2019-04-18T17:14:47 | https://sukantotanoto.sg/ |

Since the 1960s, the two groups that historically have developed vaccine guidelines for the United States have been the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). During 1994, these organizations participated in a working group that included representatives from the American Academy of Family Physicians to develop one vaccination schedule that would accommodate the current ACIP and AAP recommendations and ensure the earliest administration of vaccines. The recommended childhood immunization schedule Table_1 has been endorsed by these groups and becomes effective January 1995.
In the first year of life, three doses each of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine (DTP), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine, and oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) are recommended to be administered at ages 2, 4, and 6 months; however, the third dose of OPV may be administered through age 18 months, and for children who receive Haemophilus b conjugate vaccine (Meningococcal Protein Conjugate) (PRP-OMP) at ages 2 and 4 months, a dose at age 6 months is not required. For hepatitis B vaccine, the first dose is recommended at birth (but can be given up to age 2 months), the second at age 2 months (age 1-4 months is acceptable, provided at least 1 month has elapsed since receipt of the first dose), and the third at age 6- 18 months. Vaccines recommended at age 12-15 months can be administered simultaneously during one visit or during two separate visits. The second dose of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) may be given at entry to kindergarten or middle school. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (Td) is recommended at age 11-12 years but may be given through age 14- 16 years. When this vaccine is given at age 11-12 years, health-care providers can ensure that the child has received a second dose of MMR. Reported by: Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. American Academy of Pediatrics. American Academy of Family Physicians. National Immunization Program, CDC.

I read that AI controlled fleets but will never outperform a Human. In one sense this can a major headache for players who want to do everything. They know that they must overclick everywhere inorder to get the best out of thier empire or else they have this feeling that they could have done better and its only game limitiations that have limited them.
But then I read a reference that if you are the ruler like emperor palpatine , then obviously you wont be controlling all the battles.
In a way I think the solution to having Ai controlled fleets is to add some lore. Whenever a fleet is controlled by an AI , you must trick the player into believing that the fleet is being controlled by a Sub-commander that you have assigned. SO the player will think fair enough im assigning to a sub commander , he is obviously less skilled so I dont mind if that other fleet does not perform as well.
So when you are controlling your main fleet , and you have a secondary fleet getting its arse whooped id prefer to see.
Liutenant Rogers reports that his secondary fleet has just got whooped . Hes really sorry and hopes you will not court martial him.
Your secondary fleet got destroyed. ( yea the AI is incompetant , next time control that fleet too and mass click ).
In essense if you want to use the Emporer Palpatine argument , then you must make the player FEEL like emporer palpatine.
"Emperor, your fleet is getting its assed kicked"
I think that sticking to basics would just save some time and effort, besides this is only going to affect voiceovers. | 2019-04-23T22:36:35 | https://forums.offworldgame.com/145000/page/1/ |
Happy couples walk along the beach in the Caribbean. Families with young children line up for the rides at Disney World. Fathers hike the trails in the national parks with their sons. Mothers and daughters step away for spa retreats.
So what about everyone out there who doesn’t have a travel partner? Can you travel solo?
I usually travel with another person, but the few times I have traveled on my own have been personally gratifying, fun and liberating. One of my first solo experiences was a summer on my own in Washington, D.C., where I discovered the only thing standing between me and what I wanted to do for the day was a single ride on the subway. This past summer I ventured to Burning Man alone. Upon arriving, I felt frustrated and irritated about being at one of the world’s biggest festivals by myself. At the sake of sounding a bit cheesy, I can safely say that by the end of the week, I had grown into an entirely different person.
Having complete control over your travels. When you are on your own, you get to decide where you’re going to go, what you’re going to do and how long you want to stay someplace before moving on.
Meeting other people. Solo travelers often report that it’s easier to meet other travelers than it is when traveling with a partner. If you’re backpacking, there are frequently others hanging out solo at the hostel who would be more than happy to hit the town with you.
Trying things you wouldn’t have otherwise. Instead of feeling confined by what your travel partner wants to do, you make all the choices. Perhaps you have the urge to bungee jump in New Zealand when you’d normally keep your feet on the ground. No need to ask your travel buddy … the only person who has to approve is you.
Traveling spontaneously. Tired of your present destination? Then pick up and go. There’s nothing stopping you.
Personal growth. People said you couldn’t do it. Maybe you didn’t even know if you could do it. But one thing is for sure … when you return from your first venture on your own, you will be a changed person, and most likely for the better.
Join a tour group. There are travel groups designed with all kinds of interests in mind. There are tour groups designed for women, students and specifically for solo travelers. Toss a few words about what you’re looking for into Google, and you’re sure to find the ideal group for your travel needs. The start of any travel tour can be a bit awkward as people get to know each other, but you’ll warm up to each other fast enough, and chances are you’ll leave with some new life-long friends.
Volunteer. Sign up for a volunteer vacation and you’ll not only experience a new place and culture but you’ll make a difference too. These types of vacations last anywhere from a week to a couple years and range from working with children to grooming hiking trails. On these trips, you’ll be working side by side with other passionate people—both fellow travelers and locals from the area.
Couchsurf. Explore the world by staying in people’s homes along the way. Though I’ve never personally couchsurfed, I know plenty of people who have, very few have walked away with a negative experience and most will tell you that couchsurfing is not just about sleeping on someone’s couch. Many hosts are excited to show their travelers around the city, and some travelers even get to attend family gatherings and local festivities with their host—experiences they wouldn’t have had if they’d stayed elsewhere.
Solo Friendly – Gray is primarily a U.S. traveler, and she writes extensively about traveling solo at Walt Disney World and in Las Vegas. Her blog is a personal account of traveling on her own, and she frequently notes how solo patrons are treated by wait staff in restaurants and whether certain places are friendly and affordable for people traveling alone.
Journeywoman – Evelyn has created this website specifically for women travelers, but she has a whole section dedicated to women traveling on their own.
TripAdvisor Solo Travel Forum – Find a travel companion. Ask questions about your intended destination. Get travel ideas from others like you who are out to see the world on their own. This forum space is visited and commented upon frequently and is a great place to find others who have traveled solo as well as those who would like to.
I strongly agree with all five of the benefits you listed for going it alone. I have found all to be true.
Another option for people leery of 100 percent doing it on their own is going to their destinations alone, then joining a day tour every once in a while to meet people and not feel so alone.
I know from experience (personally and professionally) one of the major reasons people don’t indulge in life-affirming travel is because they have no one to go with. The internal debate on whether to go usually ends there.
This is a great article because it gives people a reason to think twice about that argument. And give resources to back up the inspiration to go.
Thanks, JoAnna! Hopefully this will help people to rethink their solo travel hesitations.
I was so proud of myself for travelling alone in France, I’m not sure if I would have attempted doing so if I weren’t sent by my work . Sweet tips!
I like traveling with friends, but I love traveling alone. I did a whirlwind tour of Europe on my own and met tons of great people. But I also really enjoyed the 3 days I spent in London by myself before the tour. When you add too many people in the mix traveling can get stressful. One person wants to see the tourist attraction, another person wants to go shopping, the other wants to drink at the bar all day. Some friends of mine have had some bad tiffs over traveling, they say you don’t really know what a person is like until you’ve traveled with them. When you’re by yourself there’s no one to impress, keep up with or worry about. And even when your alone there’s always ways to meet new people (if you want to).
As always, you’ve offer us an insightful, well written travel piece. I appreciate being included and especially like the fact that you recognize all the others who share their stories on Solo Traveler. Thanks for highlighting what I consider to be an important travel issue.
I have traveled alone a few times but I don’t like it that much. I find that I can’t re live my experience with others.
But, the part that I like is that I can truly travel and be on vacation because I follow what i want to do and go at my pace.
Traveling is so different for each individual.
JoAnna, what a nice gift to find journeywoman.com in your list of resources for solo women travellers. This is an excellent article.
I view solo travel as a rite of passage for both women and men. Everybody at some point needs to leave their ‘safe place’ and venture out into the world – all alone and carrying only a small pack and the things they’ve learned along the way. It’s a fabulous test and guaranteed you’ll have a different , stronger sense of self once you’ve achieved it. Whether your 18 or 80 – I think there’s nothing like it. Go for it!
I think is especially true for women, who feel a little more vulnerable in every day life. So to ask them to hit the road by themselves is like asking them to complete an impossible task.
Vast majority of women female travelers seem to have a fantastic time and come back refreshed and more self-confident in themselves. It could be the best gift someone gives themselves, man or woman. Don’t shortchange yourself on the experience of a lifetime by waiting on someone else!
I cannot imagine NOT traveling solo. It opens you up to such amazing experiences, let’s you do whatever your heart desires … I travel mostly solo and am preparing for my solo RTW adventure.
Loved this. Actually I love to travel solo, but there are totally reasonable fears to that.
Your suggestions absolutely overcome all the objections. Excellent thoughts.
I love travelling solo especially for points 1, 2 and 4 that you mentioned.
Nice work. And spot on.
To be honest, being on my own? Maybe not always a better experience – but it makes for better writing and better photography.
I agree with you. Traveling on my own results in a very different experience. It’s not necessarily better, but it is a different – and much appreciated – experience. Plus, I like knowing that I am able to travel on my own.
When I travel solo, it forces me into a place of independence that is so welcome and quite rare for me, especially now that I am a Mom. I love it. I cherish the few trips I have taken solo.
Nothing like get away singles trips to meet people and have fun. I’m sick of dating around here. Sometimes its just nice to get away and be alone.
I found a great way of connecting with co-travelers through http://www.mingletrips.com/ It would be a lot of fun connecting with them and venturing into newer destinations with them!
Like you said, there are numerous benefits of setting out on your own.
What makes traveling beautiful is that there are no rules.
I agree completely. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to traveling. | 2019-04-24T22:33:41 | https://kaleidoscopicwandering.com/2010/01/18/why-people-dont-travel-part-1-fear-of-going-solo/ |
On April 12, 2018, in United States v. Shimabukuro, Case No. 17-10339, the Ninth Circuit addressed whether intermittent confinement counts against the cap on the amount of time “in prison” a court may impose when revoking a defendant’s supervised release, under the version of 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) effective in 2002. The 2002 version of the statute provided for a maximum of three years in prison upon revocation of supervised release for the defendant’s underlying offense. Under Ninth Circuit precedent, in calculating the time in prison, a court was required to subtract the aggregate length of all terms of revocation imprisonment from the maximum – the current version of § 3583(e) provides that courts should not give credit for time previously served on postrelease supervision.
In this case, the district court revoked the defendant’s supervised release three times. The first time, the district court sentenced the defendant to 18 months’ imprisonment and 42 months of supervised release. The second time, the district court sentenced the defendant to 1 month of time served and an additional 41 months of supervised release, with a condition that the defendant serve 150 days of intermittent confinement (50 consecutive weekends beginning on Friday evenings and ending on Sunday afternoons) at a federal detention center. The third time, the district court sentenced him to 17 months’ imprisonment. The court rejected the argument that intermittent confinement counted as time “in prison.” Instead, the district court only credited the defendant for the 18 months’ imprisonment for the first revocation and for 1 month’ imprisonment for the second revocation.

The goal of this project was to create a Progressive Mobile Web site, to showcase the brochure side of the Carnival Australia site.
Carnival Australia wanted to provide a mobile experience to their customers to browse for holidays on the go.The project required the creation of a new design system of reusable components and styles to capture the Carnival brand. The component system is build of discreet part that can be combined and reused to create the elements of the page. Each layout is then crafted from this design system, both in design and in code.
This was the first mobile site for Carnival Australia, to be built in tandem with a redesign of there search and booking flow. We then needed to connect the responsive redesign of the Find A Cruise and Booking engine to the brochure site. As such we wrap this new functionality in the common header and footer for any customers browsing on mobile platforms. Since the two parts are made using different technologies, and with different design systems the overall experience for the customer is less than ideal. I worked with Carnival Australia and the other agency to find common ground to improve the overall experience for mobile customers.
Another challenge was the need to include links to desktop content, that at launch will not be redesigned to be mobile friendly. Traditionally mobile sites design has limited the scope of the content available on mobile to fix this issue. This has the unfortunate side effect of causing the customer to load the full desktop site if they needed information that is not contained in this curated content. With Carnival Australia we took a different approach, mixing the content till a future phase of the project is green lighted. Getting dropped to a desktop page is still not a great experience, but one I believe superior to the necessity of loading the entire desktop site on your phone.
The site uses a minimal sticky header, with a common actions sub-header that disappears when scrolling down. Scrolling up the page returns this menu. The main navigation uses a drawer menu with multiple levels to accommodate the content. Also included is the currency switcher and relevant support number, that changes as a new currency is selected.
Top level of the drawer navigation.
Special offers sub navigation menu.
The promotional pages are landing pages for email campaigns, to entice prospective customers to search and book cruises. To drive conversion into the search and booking flow there is a Book A Cruise call to action (CTA). On mobile we mirror the CTA at the bottom of the page with the addition of a floating button. This was to combat possible drop in conversion caused by people not reaching the end of the page. This button was crafted to give guests the option to go to the pre-filtered Find A Cruise search page at any time. To connect the floating button to the larger CTA above the footer, the smaller one animates into the larger to visually connect their functionality.
To fall outside typical finger scrolling patterns to avoid being accidentally triggered.
The size and prominent on the page.
The promotional pages are the main landing site from email campaigns.
As you scroll down the floating button disappears, leaving the ship icon behind. As you scroll up the page the button reappears, grabbing the icon on it’s way.
As mentioned above, the search and booking flow are wrapped in the same header, and footer as the mobile site. This provides a level of continuity between the brochure site and the search and booking functionality with a common navigational structure.
The Find A Cruise content built by Orchard, is wrapped in the header, breadcrumb and footer from the brochure site.
One of the features of Progressive Web used here, is the concept of skeleton screens. Skeletons instantly set layout of the page, giving the customer a sense of what is to come. The content is progressively populate into these areas as it becomes available. This smooths the transitions between pages and avoids jumpy transitions as the content loads.
Initial state of the page on load.
Customer can instantly start scrolling as the layout for the entire page is predefined.
As the content loads in, it populates the blocks predefined in the skeleton. | 2019-04-21T18:54:47 | http://zoehardistydesign.com/portfolio/carnival-australia/ |
It is awsome. the first smile. When you see yourself in them. The first time you realize they are going to look up to you. Knowing you can make them laugh at anytime(one of the best parts). it goes on and on. This isnt a pick me up for ya this is honesty. I love my kid and i love What he brought out in me. Its what I look forward to at 5 when i leave me office.
Thinking maybe he can change this world. He might one day find a cure for something. A part of me is going to go on after im passed, I have a chance to make someone a better person that i was.
Kids rock...I have two now, 2 and 4 -- I've never known a greater joy.
Even though we've known for three weeks, we had confirmation today with an ultrasound that our fourth has a due date of November 19th.
Congrats Boogie!! Being a dad is a great experience.
I hate to turn this into an advice column, but I have nowhere else to turn. Coz I know you are an artist/performer. Did you feel like having kids took you out of the "loop" a little. Like did it hinder you in persuing a music career. I am just a radio DJ, but I have to stay on my hustle to stay #1. So I am worried that this is going to take all my time up and then I will have to go back to a 9-5. Was it hard for you to stay doing what you do and have a kid?
it is totally understandable that you are scared, but i really feel like things happen for a reason. maybe being #1 won't matter when you have children. at any rate, things will work out. relax, and enjoy the good news!
No, it INSPIRED ME!!! It was when we found out that Yvette was pregnant that we KNEW we were going to be successful with the music. We would even take BJ on tour with us.
The main thing though was I had a partnership. Yvette and I always have felt that together we could accomplish anything, so we looked on our having kids as nothing less than a blessing!
OH, CONGRATS HARM!!! TELL THE WIFE I SAID "WELL DONE!!!"
The baby stage is all "ooh ahh, it's soo cute, etc" but once they can walk and talk then you're going to have a ball. I got a really cool little friend that will be 3 in a month, known him since he was a week old...I'd consider him to be my "little" best friend and wouldn't trade knowning him for anything.
Nothing bad can come from this, you're going to have a lot of fun.

This summer, the Shambhala mandala learned of credible allegations against Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche concerning clergy sexual misconduct.
Our Center cannot offer an official position at this time because emotions are still too raw and actual information is sparse. We need time to feel and voice feelings, support and care for each other, and learn the extent and impact of the harm done. We will take the time we need to grieve, listen to each other, and understand what has happened, before deciding whether to make major changes to our local culture and programming.
WRSC has held two member listening meetings and will continue to schedule meetings; information about these meetings will be sent to members. If you are not a member and are interested in attending a listening meeting, please contact the Center Director, Dia Ballou, at dia.ballou@gmail.com.
Our Center leaders are communicating with other Shambhala Centers to learn each others’ best practices for transparency, openness, inclusiveness and healing. We are learning to be more trauma-aware. And all members in positions of leadership are reviewing the Shambhala Care and Conduct Policy, which can be read here. | 2019-04-26T08:19:05 | https://whiteriver.shambhala.org/2018/08/14/a-special-message-from-wrsc/ |
Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani present coverage of the early races on Grand National Day from Aintree, starting at 2.25, 3.00, 3.40 and 4.20.
Hot favourite Tiger Roll will bid to become the first horse since the legendary Red Rum 45 years ago to win back-to-back runnings of the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.
Bookmakers say £150m is set to be bet on the race's 172nd running, with many likely to back last year's winner.
Tiger Roll, who will again be ridden by jockey Davy Russell, heads a maximum field of 40 for the 17:15 BST race.
His Irish trainer Gordon Elliott saddles a race-record 11 runners.
Tiger Roll's rivals will include Rathvinden, Anibale Fly, Vintage Clouds and Pleasant Company.
Champion jockey Richard Johnson is riding in the race for a record 21st time, but has yet to win. He is on board Rock The Kasbah, whose name is a nod to the hit 1980s song by the Clash.
Two women have rides in the race as they look to become the first female jockey to triumph - Lizzie Kelly is on Tea For Two, while Rachael Blackmore rides Valseur Lido.
With analysis from AP McCoy and Brough Scott, reports from Luke Harvey, Mick Fitzgerald, Rishi Persad, Alice Plunkett and Brian Gleeson, Matt Chapman and Chris Hughes, and commentary by Richard Hoiles.

Everyone has failures. We take risks and we can fail. We learn and grow from failures. What we don’t want is self-inflicted failure. These are some essentials that help you mitigate failure. Many times when we see failure, the person might be lacking in one of these essentials.
In a study researching the top leadership characteristics, integrity was in the top 90%. Integrity is doing the right thing the right way regardless of the circumstances. It is very hard to recover when you have violated your integrity.
Confidence is good, but it can become a weakness. Not being humble can lead to over-confidence. Over- confident leaders tend to take excessive risk and not be prepared. When people are humble, others will go out of their way to help them. Humility is having a teachable spirit, admitting mistakes and learn from your mistakes.
Do you ever remember a sports coach saying, “Let’s hustle”? Hustle indicates a level of speed and energy. If you hustle in life, you take the initiative. You don’t wait for things to happen; you make things happen. It’s a failure waiting to happen if you just sit back and wait for things to come your way. Your hustle drives the success of your life.
Grit is courage and resolve. You don’t quit because of what people might think. Life is going to be tough at times and you need grit to keep you going when success could be right around the corner.
If you aren’t exciting about what you are doing, that can be a failure factor. The most successful people are passionate, enthusiastic and love what they are doing; they are able to inspire others.
Know why you are doing something. “The why” is the purpose, cause or belief that inspires you.
Whatever you lead, take personal responsibility. Don’t blame others or make excuses. If you want to be a leader, when things go well give credit to others on your team. | 2019-04-19T18:15:45 | http://scottysanders.com/article/7-failure-factors/ |
More details about the Mettafix song for Darfur, and Matt's comments in the introduction to the video, are at The Times. The video will be available at the Globe for Darfur site later today, but the song is previewed here.
If the time is not completely past when soap stars will weep on cue at images of babies with distended bellies, a new breed of celebrity advocate may be eclipsing them. Damon, for example, the all-action star of The Bourne Ultimatum, talks more like a UN delegate than a Hollywood A-lister.
Peace is possible in Darfur, he says, if the international community demands an immediate ceasefire and provides the peacekeepers that "they have talked about for months". He adds: "Once these conditions are in place and if the government of Sudan sticks to its agreements, we can finally talk about helping to rebuild the country and overcome the dreadful suffering and poverty in the region."
More video of Matt at the Toronto Film Festival is at Access Hollywood, including George Clooney commenting on Matt's casual attire at George's premiere.
Another video from the Oklahoma City charity premiere of Bourne Ultimatumis available here, including producer Frank Marshall praising Matt.
Marshall: He's the greatest. You can see how down to earth he is. He's so smart, he's a wonderful, wonderful actor. He's smart, he cares, he wants to give back. I can't say enough. He's just a great, great guy... There's no baloney here. He's a genuine, genuine, sincere human being and I love him.
George Clooney discusses Matt (seriously, for once) in an interview at Paris March magazine, transcribed at Clooney Studio. George mentions their frequent, long discussions about rebuilding the world, and provides more details about his rebuttal to Matt's Forbes magazine article.

Matt is supposed to be on Letterman tonight. Is this a re-run?

Eolai from Markham Nolan on Vimeo.
A few days ago, while I was preparing for my show at the 2010 Irish Blog Awards, I had the pleasure of a visit to my studio by Markham Nolan. While I worked away Markham took dozens of photos and then recorded a short interview.
Technical problems meant you’re spared listening to me and instead get the wonderful sounds of The Redneck Manifesto.
Check out Markham’s site for more background on the project. I think he took some lovely photos.
That was great. The film was so nicely constructed, with lovely music. But it is a shame we couldn’t hear your voice. Maybe another time.
That was so cool to watch and I loved the quotations. Wish I’d been able to make the blog awards and see some up close. Next year maybe?
Hi Eolaí, this was a great break from the greens and blues of the everyday. The whole site is brilliant. Found you on ArtMap.Can you tell me how you put the guy’s on the right, permanently frozen in movement? LOOve it.

I thought I would give a little update on my progress as it has been awhile and people have been inquiring. I am now down a total of 67 pounds, about 15 of those since the first of the year. I would really like to be down 100 in total by my one year anniversary in July so still an obtainable goal. I have dropped 2 pant sizes and 1 top size. My first 50 pounds were lost at an average of about 10 pounds per month. I have seen that decline a bit the last couple of months losing 7-8 pounds per month. This is still perfectly acceptable to me. I recognize my body is adapting as I get lighter and I will hit stalls every now and again, it is just part of the process. What has been important to me as the weight loss has slowed a bit is remind myself why I am doing what I am doing. I have also started allowing myself to be photographed again. I really hate having my picture taken but I also want to document my journey and how I am doing. Sometimes I see myself in a photo and it doesn't feel like me. I also sometimes step into pants which I am sure won't fit and they do. It is a strange feeling when you're body starts to become smaller than you are used to. This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago. It was a nice angle so don't let it fool you, there is still a double chin under there! | 2019-04-23T14:07:05 | http://www.slowasthesouth.com/2016/02/progress.html |

If one of the debts listed in your voluntary deposit declaration is for support payments, the seizable portion of your income (your income minus your exemption) is 50% instead of 30%.
This special rule only concerns you if you are not subject to the Act to facilitate the payment of support, and if you are making support payments directly to the person concerned. The support you owe must be included in the list of your debts, and will be paid as a priority by the clerk.
The extra money taken (20% of your income, after your exemption is deducted) is distributed only to the person owed support payments, who is also entitled to receive his or her share of the 30% seized as usual and distributed proportionally to all your creditors.
Any deduction notice, payment order or seizure under the Act to facilitate the payment of support remains valid if it was sent or made before you registered for voluntary deposit.
The amount deducted, paid or seized is subtracted from the amount (the seizable portion of your income) that you must deposit with the clerk. | 2019-04-19T20:22:09 | https://www.justice.gouv.qc.ca/en/your-money-and-your-possessions/voluntary-deposit/deposit-and-distribution-of-the-amounts-deposited/special-rules-if-support-payments-are-owed/ |

The global Halal economy is estimated to touch the $6.4 trillion mark by 2018 against $3.2 trillion, reported in 2012, according to a latest report, while Dubai reinforces its position as the capital of the global Islamic economy as it opens doors to the 9th edition of the Halal Expo Dubai tomorrow, Monday, September 18.
The GCC countries import US$50 billion (Dh183 billion) worth of Halal products, according to a latest research by Farrelly and Mitchell – a food and agri-business specialist. Of this, the UAE’s Halal import bill is $20 billion (Dh73 billion), or about 40 per cent of the GCC’s Halal imports.
UAE is home to 5,000 importers, manufacturers and stockists of Halal products. Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (ESMA), the country’s standardisation authority, is expected to issue 18,000 Halal certification this year – which is one of the highest in the world.
These developments are a direct result of the vision of the government as envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, when he declared his intention to transform Dubai as the global capital of Islamic Economy in 2013.
“Thanks to its steady growth, increasing assets and straightforward principles, Islamic economy has become an established reality within the system of global economy. Through the huge economic opportunities provided by Islamic economy, and the massive partnerships that it can create, Islamic economy can provide a key to further stability and development in our region,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said in a statement earlier.
Subsequently, the government has created Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre (DIEDC), which is supporting the Halal Expo Dubai – a major exhibition participated by nearly 100 companies from more than 15 countries including national pavilions from Malaysia, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, Indonesia and the UAE.
Dubai Food Park, a government initiative, has inked a Dh1.35 billion deal to establish a UAE-China food industrial cluster that will eventually support China’s US1 trillion investment in ‘One Belt One Road’ initiative and help promote the speedy expansion of the Halal products and services across Asia, Europe and Africa.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy, has said earlier, “Dubai and the UAE are instrumental in raising awareness about the culture of Islamic economy worldwide and boosting global interest in adopting its principles.
The two-day exhibition is expected to be attended by 4,000 people – mostly buyers and sellers of Halal products and services – from 40 countries.
Chinese Halal products exporters are participating under a 15-strong national pavilion at the Halal Expo Dubai, to be held at the Roda Al Bustan Hotel, Dubai from September 18-19, 2017 that will widen the choice of Halal products for local importers and consumers in the UAE and the Gulf. | 2019-04-22T12:57:04 | https://halalfocus.net/uae-global-halal-economy-set-to-reach-us6-4-trillion-by-2018/ |

Vacation rental website HouseTrip.com is holding a pitch for its first UK-based PR agency to help the company establish a brand presence.
LONDON: Vacation rental website HouseTrip.com is holding a pitch for its first UK-based PR agency to help the company establish a brand presence.
Four bgb, 3 Monkeys Communications, Weber Shandwick, MSLGroup, and Talk PR are in the running for the work, which would result in a six-figure win for the appointed agency.
The winning agency will be responsible for pan-European strategy, creative development, and tactical implementation in the UK and France.
The company’s existing agencies in Spain and Germany will continue to work in their markets following the new agency’s strategy.
The decision to bring on PR support follows the appointment of former Procter & Gamble director Zaid al-Qassab for the role of CMO earlier this month. HouseTrip PR director Ryan Levitt is overseeing the pitch.
"This opportunity is a huge one for a PR agency that wants to help establish a brand in one of travel’s most exciting sectors," Levitt said. "We are looking for a partner that is creative and forward-thinking, yet able to turn things around fast and effectively."
The winning agency will be expected to work closely with recently appointed brand advertising agency McGarryBowen and media buying agency Goodstuff Communications. | 2019-04-19T19:21:35 | https://www.prweek.com/article/1286102/five-agencies-shortlisted-pan-european-housetripcom-pitch |
Well, just wanted to highlight that it's been quite some time I did not visit Cameron Highlands, but it always amazed me with the beautiful flowers and tea plantation (I love flowers, all girls does, isn't it?). Walk around the Lavender Farm, Boh Tea Plantation (had some tea as well) and eat all the way.
Sorry for I did not really took much pictures of food because the most beautiful and enjoyable moment, you will not even bother or remember to snap a photo. Anyway, share with you guys some beautiful scenery in Cameron Highlands and I really hope to go again as there are many pictures taken by him, was either too blur or shaky (sorry baby.. ^^'').

Set in west Texas about 125 miles from the Mexican border near Del Rio and Langtry, All the Pretty Horses is a story of loss and adventure. John Grady Cole, the main character, is just 16 years old and attending his grandfather's funeral when the novel opens. His mother and father are finally divorcing after years of separation, and his mother is determined to sell the ranch owned by her father. So John Grady sets off on his horse, Redbo, accompanied by his best friend Lacey Rawlins, on his horse, Junior. They ride south across Texas, and, just north of the border, an even younger runaway boy follows them on a big bay horse. Rawlins, the realist, thinks Blevins, who has named himself after a radio preacher, will be nothing but trouble; John Grady, the idealist, is more sympathetic. Sticking together, the three boys ride their horses naked across the Rio Grande River, after securing their belongings in their tied-up pants.
In a lightning thunderstorm, Blevins loses everything except one boot, but a few days later, when they see his horse in a small town, Encantada, the three of them dare to reclaim it, but, of course, they are followed. Blevins separates from John Grady and Rawlins, who finally arrive at a beautiful hacienda that they have heard about on their journey. They find work as cowboys and wranglers, breaking sixteen wild mustangs in four days, to earn their reputations. Soon, because John Grady has proved his abilities with horses, he is promoted to breeder for Senor Rocha, the hacienda owner. A love story begins when the owner's daughter, Alejandra, a year older than John Grady, seduces him. Rawlins tries to warn his friend of the danger he is getting into by entering a relationship with the owner's daughter. The two boys are taken away in handcuffs at the end of Chapter II, when they are caught by the men who saw them take Blevins' horse back and accused of stealing.
Rawlins is very angry with John Grady, who defends himself by saying that some things (meaning passionate love affairs) aren't reasonable. After several days of hard riding, John Grady and Rawlins are put in a small jail cell in an adobe building and find Blevins there with broken feet. A fourth dweller in the cell, an old man, tells the boys that Blevins has killed three men, but Blevins says only one of the men died. After earning money on a farm for two months, Blevins went back to Encantada to retrieve his pistol. Having his horse was not enough for Blevins, and his return to the town where he retrieved his horse has now jeopardized three lives (his own, John Grady's, and Rawlins'). During a transfer south to Saltillo prison, Blevins is shot and killed in the woods. John Grady and Rawlins, after much fighting in the Saltillo prison yard, are both severely wounded. Finally, John Grady is given an envelope of money by the commandant, and they are released. They figure out that Duena Alfonsa, the great aunt of Alejandra, the young girl John Grady loves, has bought their freedom.
Rawlins decides to go home to Texas by way of Nuevo Larado, but John Grady wants to see Alejandra and also try to get their horses back. Rawlins is afraid for John Grady, who reassures him that he is not Blevins. John Grady makes it to La Purisima where the great aunt tells John Grady that Alejandra has promised never to see him again in turn for her great-aunt sending the money to release him from prison. The great-aunt, Duena Alfonsa, also tells John Grady how he has disappointed Senor Rocha by lying and denying any knowledge of Blevins. John Grady claims he wasn't allowed to tell his side of the story, but she says that does not matter. She gives him a horse and he rides to Torreon where he calls Alejandra in Mexico City. She agrees to meet him in Zacatecas, and they both take trains to meet there. Despite their love and his entreaties, she refuses to marry him. He gets drunk but makes his way back to Torreon and the grullo horse, the wild one he first broke with Rawlins a few months before.
At a crossroads while riding north, John Grady turns around and goes to the town where he was first jailed and, by taking the captain hostage, he retrieves his horse (Redbo), Rawlins' horse (Junior), and Blevins' big bay. He has to let the wonderful grullo go, because it is not strong enough for the long trip. But he manages to cross into Texas, again near Langtry, the area of Judge Roy Bean, where he travels for several months, trying to find the rightful owner of the bay. A judge helps him when some degenerates try to claim the horse. The judge listens to John Grady's story and assures him that the man he killed in prison and the captain who jailed them in the small town are not good people. The judge tries to urge John Grady to go easier on himself.
In Del Rio, Texas, John Grady visits the real Jimmy Blevins, who has never heard of anyone fitting the boy's description and has never seen the horse. After feeding John Grady a big meal and telling him about the radio preaching business, the reverend goes off to write a sermon. John Grady rides back to San Angelo and goes to Rawlins' family place and whistles for his friend, who is delighted to see John Grady and his horse, Junior.
After attending, on the sidelines, the funeral of the old woman, Abuela, who had done most of the work raising him, John Grady rides west, a lonely figure on one horse, leading his second mount. | 2019-04-26T07:51:24 | http://origin.www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/a/all-the-pretty-horses/book-summary |
Paeonia delavayi ‘Mrs Sarson Hybrids’ are a quite remarkable selection of tree peony hybrids grown by us over many years. The foliage is stunning and in most is finely cut with a reddish metallic sheen. Flower colour is wide ranging but mostly red to dark red and purple – some being almost black.Rarely are they yellow, but there can be some stunning amber to orange flowered plants. The joy is not knowing what you might get. Why not buy three, they only take a few years to flower and in the mean time you have the joy of the foliage.
These are of course not trees at all but they do make delightful hardy shrubs.Our stock of these originally came from the late Maurice Mason who famously gardened at Fincham and later at Beachamwell in Norfolk, and was famous in particular for his extensive orchid collection. Maurice was a generous gardener and introduced the Iron Cross Begonia, Begonia masoniana which was named for him. The name Mrs Sarson, to which seedlings became known was thought to have originated because Maurice had written the name Miss Sarson on the label after being given a plant/s by a Miss Sarson.Such was his generosity, those plants and seed were distributed from his gardens at Larchwood to visiting nurserymen and so the name became fixed but was never intended as a variety name at all.
There hybrid tree peony plants are very easy to grow in any good garden soil and quickly establish, many reach flowering size within 3 years. They generally do not exceed 1.5m in height, but do benefit in any case from a hard prune from time to time to keep them bushy. | 2019-04-21T11:10:30 | https://www.plantstoplant.com/paeonia-delavayi-mrs-sarson-hybrids-c2x23540221?PGFLngID=1 |
SOFIA, Bulgaria – A Bulgarian court has refused a request from Moscow to extradite an opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, arguing that he could suffer because of his political activities and views.
Nikolai Koblyakov, a dual citizen of Russia and France and founder of a non-governmental organization which has staged a series of anti-Putin actions in France, was detained on July 29 at the Sofia airport on an Interpol warrant issued at Russia's request.
The Sofia City Court ruled on Tuesday that explanations provided from Russian officials about Nikolai Koblyakov's alleged criminal activity were not sufficient for them to hand him over to Moscow.
Officials in Moscow had alleged that Koblyakov was involved in large-scale property fraud nearly ten years ago. Koblyakov has rejected these allegations as being politically motivated. | 2019-04-22T08:15:41 | https://www.foxnews.com/world/bulgarian-court-refuses-to-extradite-putin-opponent-to-moscow |
The Lehigh men’s tennis team opened its season with a 1-6 loss to Villanova on Feb. 3 at the Ulrich Varsity Tennis Courts.
Villanova played and won two games before facing the Mountain Hawks, who last saw action at the ITA Northeast Regionals held at Princeton University where a select few competed.
The loss served as an early lesson for the team and brought its offseason preparation into perspective while also exposing areas of weakness.
Senior Chris Auteri carried the momentum of a 12-3 overall 2018 season record into the opening of the 2019 season, pushing his opponent to three sets in the six flight but ultimately falling 14-12 in the final set.
Auteri said the Mountain Hawks held a commitment to a strict workout regimen during winter break and that the team returned as one of the strongest units he has been a part of.
He said that prior to the loss against Villanova, the team had been focusing on cleaning up their doubles game. He said that key aspects of a doubles game include a high first-serve percentage followed by a swift movement toward the net that puts pressure on the opponent to respond quickly.
The Mountain Hawks, however, did not take the doubles point, rather losing the first two doubles matches that ultimately eliminated the need to play the third.
Head coach Wouter Hendrix said the team is intelligent and willing to work, but they were not sharp enough against Villanova.
Hendrix said that the team has the ability to absorb adversity early on in the season and that while its game will not sharpen overnight, he’s confident it will improve over time with more match reps.
With four seniors and a junior, the ten-man team is guided by experience, but will rely on the work and commitment of every player moving forward.
Freshman Zack Elliott saw action in his first in-season match against Villanova. He said the team was confident in its fitness going into the Villanova match, but that they weren’t settled in yet.
Elliott said the team has worked to implement physicality into their game — both on the court and in the gym.
As much as the result hurts, the desire to not experience a loss again is motivating according to Elliott.
Elliott said that the team’s practice after the Villanova match was the most intense they’ve had during his time at Lehigh.
“Everyone was fired up and ready to go,” he said.
The Mountain Hawks will host the Drexel University Dragons at the Lewis Indoor Tennis Center on Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. | 2019-04-20T12:20:05 | https://thebrownandwhite.com/2019/02/07/lehigh-tennis-drops-season-opener/ |
This is the 800th post on this website.
This website has existed, under different names, since 2011, but we only started posting in 2012. We never really took it seriously up until February 2017. Until then we posted very irregularly. Now that we are serious about it, our audience is growing.
2017 got about ten times more traffic than all the traffic of all previous years combined… It looks like 2018 will get double the traffic of 2017.
2018 is also the first year we are making money through the blog. People are asking us to write articles and link to their website for a fee.
At first we called our blog just after the name of the main writer. This did little to stick in people’s heads. As the writer is fairly unknown.
Then we switched to Project Authenticity, an improvement, as people started talking about it. However, it’s a mouthful, and it confused people. What is it about?
Recently we’ve been toying with the idea of creating content for intelligent, modern, progressive women, who want a lot out of life. The Fearless Woman was born. This is a new concept, and we don’t know what it will bring. Perhaps we will combine PEP with Fearless Women. We will see.
What we are trying to say is: your name matters, you need to pick ONE clear niche, and you need to have a clear idea of who you’re writing for. Like we have discovered that our most loyal audience is made up of people who are ambitious, but not in a traditional way, who have a lot of empathy and want to improve the world, but without ignoring their own personal growth. Good to know.
Social media didn’t work for us. Facebookers don’t like us, Twitter doesn’t care about us, Instagram doesn’t get us even one visitor, and even though we have a succesful account on Quora, it didn’t get us any significant traffic. So how did we grow? Google. The big breakthrough happened when we wrote articles with titles that people google. Especially if you know something is being googled, yet not a lot of articles exist concerning this topic, you have a good chance to get traffic. We don’t really know why social media was mostly a total failure for us, but it’s probably because we still don’t have a clear niche that we faithfully and consistently post about.
We automated posts to our social media accounts. Even though social media hasn’t worked for us so far, it was a huge time saver. Sometimes we do get reactions through social media, and it would be stupid to ignore social media entirely. When we saw nothing we did made a splash there, we just automated it.
We posted a LOT. The majority of these 800 posts appeared in the last two years. Ever since september 2017 we’ve rarely skipped a day.
There’s a lot of hardship along the way. Like we’ve noticed that many of our ‘friends’ don’t give a damn about what we are trying to accomplish with this website. You’d better be prepared for some painful experiences along the way. You can also receive hate mail.
Of course, some people create catchier content than we’ve done so far.
This is in part because we do not regularly post pictures of our fitness butts.
In my own case this would require the waxing job of the century.
We opt to create posts about psychology, economics, politics. This has grown our blog in major ways, but we do realize we need an even clearer niche.
So if you take one thing from this post: BLOG CONSISTENTLY ABOUT ONE CLEAR TOPIC.
And also: videos are better. If you want more views, do videos. So far we’ve been too shy to really make an effort to make videos. And we’ve also been too technically shy to experiment with videos in a determined way.
So, we will keep writing every day, we will keep improving things, adding features, and we will keep honing our niche.
Thanks to everyone who supports this website! Your feedback has been invaluable!

Where do you guys recommend taking a custom cafe-racer to get it inspected to get registered?
Also, what is mandatory to make it pass inspection?
The friend is located in Spring btw.
i always go with stowes, in montgomery. they are pretty quick with their inspections, too.
If he is in Spring he can go to the Harley dealership on I45 at rayford. In my experience they are really cool and won't give you a hard time. Also, Cycle Shack on i45 in conroe. Bill is on this forum and they are great guys as well.
Any shop that does car inspections can do a bike inspection. Motos are safety only so most places you honk the horn and work the lights and your good as long as you have proof of insurance.

Compare ideal and practical op amps.
• The use of negative feedback.
• Current rule for op amps.
• Voltage rule for op amps.
• The inverting voltage amplifier.
• The non-inverting voltage amplifier.
TLC271 1TΩ 60pA 5,000 to 46,000 (74dB to 93dB) min.
There are two basic methods of connection for op amp voltage amplifiers, making the op amp into an inverting or a non-inverting voltage amplifier. In each case, the voltage gain of the amplifier is set simply by the ratio of two resistors. Using a very high gain amplifier and applying negative feedback produces a very stable amplifier with a gain that is is virtually independent of changes in temperature or variations in semiconductor characteristics. Just as in the discrete component amplifiers described in Amplifiers Module 3, the negative feedback also reduces distortion and noise in addition to increasing the bandwidth of the amplifier.
Ideal op amps, when used with feedback, operate in a way that can be predicted by a couple of basic rules, often called "Golden Rules".
Rule 1. The Voltage Rule.
The op amp output will change as necessary to keep the two input voltages identical. If any input signal or voltage tries to make the input potentials different, the op amp output will change in the opposite polarity to the input and, via the feedback loop, keep the difference between the two inputs at 0V.
Rule 2. The Current Rule.
Because the input impedance is infinitely high, no current can flow into either input.
These rules used in relation to the ideal op amp can be used to make the operation of the two main voltage amplifier circuits easier to understand. The small differences between ideal and practical op amps can be temporarily ignored.
Fig. 6.7.3 shows the inverting amplifier, in this configuration the signal input is applied to the inverting (−) input to produce an anti-phase output signal whose amplitude is Vin x Avcl where Avcl is the closed loop gain of the op amp.
Pin 3 is at 0V, as it is connected to ground via R3, which will have no voltage developed across it as no current flows into pin 3 (Rule 2), so pin 2 will also be at 0V (Rule 1).
Therefore Rin and Rf are effectively connected in series between Vin and Vout with pin 2 between the two resistors held at 0V.
No current can flow into pin 2 (Rule 2) so the current flowing into Vin cannot be flowing into the op amp, therefore it must be flowing through Rf to the output.
The diagram in Fig. 6.7.3b shows that in effect Rin and Rf are two resistors connected in series between Vin and Vout with Pin 2 at 0V.
Although pin 2 is not actually connected to ground, it must be at the same voltage as pin 3 (Rule 1) which is at 0V (because of Rule 2). This important effect of making some location in a circuit that is not actually connected to ground, yet maintains a potential of 0V is called ‘virtual earth’ (or virtual ground).
Any input current (Iin) therefore flows directly from the input, via Rin and Rf to the output, with Rin and Rf forming a potential divider between the opposite polarity voltages Vin and Vout with pin 2 at 0V.
Notice that the formula only tells you the ratio of the resistors and not their actual values. Fortunately in audio amplifiers the values are not too critical, usually keeping the resistor values between about 10K and 100K is OK. However it is good to try and keep Rin as high a resistance as possible, and also in a practical amplifier, rather that grounding the non-inverting input directly it should be grounded by a resistor with the same value as Rin to keep the (tiny) input currents equal. This gives a better chance of the output voltage being zero volts (or close to it) when the input is zero volts.
In the non-inverting amplifier illustrated in Fig. 6.7.4a the input is applied to the non-inverting input (pin 3) while the negative feedback resistor (Rf) together with R1 set the closed loop gain of the amplifier.
The input and output signals are now in phase, which changes the circuit operation. As shown in Fig. 6.7.4b, the circuit does not have a virtual earth point, but the bottom end of R1 is connected to ground, which means that pin 2 will follow the varying input voltage Vin on pin 3 (Rule 1).
Rf and R1 now form a potential divider between Vout and 0V. Just like the inverting amplifier, no current will flow into pin 2 (Rule 2) so the voltages across R1 and Rf will be proportional to their individual resistances. The ratio of these resistances, and therefore the ratio of Vout to Vin i.e. the closed loop gain is given by the standard potential divider formula (Rf + R1) / R1. | 2019-04-18T16:27:43 | http://www.learnabout-electronics.org/Amplifiers/amplifiers63.php |

You could be driving down any highway in regional Australia and the phone goes dead. You’re left talking to yourself. How often has that happened to you?
It’s bad enough if it’s a client you’ve been talking to or a child who wants to know when you’ll be home. But it could be an ambulance you’re after – literally a matter of life or death.
Fixing mobile black spots in regional and rural Australia should be a priority for our federal Government. Regrettably, despite $220 million in public funding pledged to the Mobile Black Spot Programme an Australian National Audit office report has found evidence of bias and incompetence.
The audit office unearthed evidence to show that a substantial amount of money has been paid to providers Telstra and Vodafone to assist with building base stations that they were planning on building anyway. Then there is the extraordinary discovery that 89 of the 499 base stations funded by the Government will provide very little new coverage.
We now know that this was not an oversight but a design feature. A draft of the guidelines produced by the then Parliamentary Secretary Paul Fletcher’s own Department included a requirement for at least 65 per cent of the coverage provided by a base station to be new coverage. But Mr Fletcher personally removed this requirement.
It gets worse. The financial adviser brought in to look at this programme found evidence that the recipients of public funding, Telstra and Vodafone, were inflating their costs by up to 35 per cent. Even this dubious conduct did not motivate the Government to claw back the unspent public funds from these telcos.
Instead, a decision was made to allow funding recipients to hold on to any unspent funding to pay for building additional base stations.
These additional base stations will not be subject to any assessment process and the left over money will not be accounted for until the last base station is built in 2018. The ANAO found that this was dangerously close to being outside the financial governance arrangements for the public sector.
From the outset the Mobile Black Spot Programme has been all about politics. The ANAO report shows that the Government largely ignored non-Coalition seats in the promotion of the scheme. Paul Fletcher held 42 “awareness forums” without any departmental officers present. Only two of these were in non-Coalition held seats. Calare, Corangamite and Eden-Monaro were blessed with two visits each.
Then there was the allocation of funding to electorates – 80 per cent of the new mobile phone tower locations are within Coalition electorates.
It’s not as if Labor electorates didn’t present a strong case. The Victorian seat of McEwen is one of the most bushfire prone regions in the country and site of the tragic 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. Labor MP Rob Mitchell went to great lengths to consult with local councils and emergency service providers on the locations where mobile phone reception would make a difference to public safety. But the whole electorate only received funding for one mobile base station and the reinstatement of one more.
Similarly, Labor MP Nick Champion represents the seat of Wakefield north of Adelaide. It was the site of the tragic 2015 Pinery fires which claimed two lives. He has been outspoken on the lack of mobile reception which hampered emergency communications. His electorate received no funding for any of the nominated 78 mobile black spots in round one of the black spot scheme.
Stuff-ups of this scale would normally be enough to see the junior minister dragged into the Prime Minister’s office to provide a “please explain”. But here is where it gets even murkier for Malcolm Turnbull. It’s not just that the junior minister of the day responsible for this mess, Paul Fletcher, has since been promoted to the role of Minister for Urban Infrastructure (hardly surprising given he is a loyal Turnbull backer).
The real reason that the Prime Minister is in a bind is because he is up to his neck in this. When the critical decisions were being made on the Mobile Black Spot Programme including the programme design, the rejection of critical departmental advice, the blatant politicisation of the marketing process and the final site selection and award of tender, Malcolm Turnbull was the senior responsible minister.
It was Turnbull himself, the Communications Minister in the Abbott Government, who shepherded the programme through cabinet. The buck should stop with him.
Many communities are desperate for better mobile service in more than 10,000 locations across Australia. Yet the Government has squandered public money by subsidising work that providers were going to do anyway. They have designed a programme that can never be adequately evaluated.
Accountability is required and questions must be answered, over to you Prime Minister.

Perhaps the story is apocryphal. I’ve heard more than one version. The well-meaning father brings home a pair of tame white rats, which thoroughly delight his children. They are curious, playful and, to the innocent children, display what seem to be affectionate qualities. But, they also procreate to the limits of available resources. This leads to a happy family project: building a hutch in the yard to accommodate the burgeoning product of all that affection. Before long, the hutch is nearly bursting with healthy, curious, affectionate little wiggling noses and bright, shiny inquisitive little black eyes…until one night, near dawn, there comes a hideous screeching and tumultuous shrieking from the hutch in the yard. When the children finally set out in the morning, they discover an awful spectacle. The rats are all dead except for one barely alive, and they have all been ripped and gouged and gored and gutted and torn to bloody shreds. There is no breach in the wire of the cage. The little door is still fastened with the tiny padlock. No interloper has committed this atrocity. It was, incredibly, an “inside jobâ€.
In cultures that practice ritual scarification, hard times produce deeper cuts, more widely distributed patterns of scarification, and a tendency to be less cautious about the quality of ash and abrasives rubbed into the wounds. Ritual warfare is practiced with heavier clubs and longer blades. Arrows are drawn against stiffer bows. Whips and slings are wielded with more conviction. And sooner or later, this pleases the “godsâ€, who restore prosperity by reducing the number of mouths to feed and the number of erect penises which must be satisfied.
As we pack more and more people into “prisons for profitâ€, perhaps we, too in our primitivism will appease the “godsâ€. We’ll come up with some “righteous†cause celebre which will appeal to the masses, and they’ll make terrible sacrifices certain in the faith that, horrible though it may be, the greater good is the end that justifies the means. The lovable rats will once again have the “lebensraum†in which they can playfully cavort and be the delightful creatures they truly are. War inevitably produces the technology which allows available resources to sustain larger populations. The cycle repeats, but the technology cannot advance as rapidly as the population. So, war produces solutions to both negative aspects of intractable human “progressâ€. A drastic reduction in population reestablishes the equilibrium so that profit motivation can implement the new technology which ultimately leads to prosperity…until hard times return. The last time one of those “righteous†causes got out of hand, various estimates suggest we eliminated between 50 and 60 million “useless eatersâ€. Proportionally, based on available population figures, the next “market correction†would result in an “adjustment†of about 240 million. And with so much “righteousness†in the air, it may be coming sooner than we think. The massacre of twenty seven people in an elementary school is tragic, but let’s not lose sight of those really “relevant†moral issues: abortion and the “War on Christmasâ€. Those are the things that have the public attention. True to form, appeasing the “gods†will continue to produce hutches in back yards and elementary school classrooms ripe for the cliff, whether it’s fiscal, social, moral or otherwise. After the madness, the “Spirit of Christmas†will no doubt emerge unscathed. | 2019-04-26T15:58:36 | https://consortiumnews.com/2012/12/17/dim-tidings-of-political-disconnect/ |
Clip in, where to ride.
The valley’s best b-roads, g-roads, tracks and trails.
There's more than just the Stelvio in Valtellina.
Roads that link ancient villages and high altitude pastures. Tracks that carve their way over mountain passes. The most hair-raising of hairpin descents. The quietest, narrowest b-roads. Climbs so good that you will question why they aren't better known. Trails so gnarly and technical that you could turn the whole valley into a downhill park if you wanted.
In winter, riding is confined to the south-facing half of the valley, but come summer the north-side has some of the most unridden territory that's ripe for riding.
What sort of a ride are you after?
Bagni Masino, Val Tartano, Prato Valentino, Dazio, Civo and Cino, Passo San Marco, Chiavenna, Campo Moro, Castello del Acqua, Albonico.
For when steep and rocky are your thing.
Bormio & Santa Caterina have the most accessible mountain biking for all abilities, whereas the steeper, more untamed routes are in the Basso valley, tended to and guided by 360 Valtellina Bike.
Valtellina excels at this trend. Flat, fast, recreational gravel across the valley floor that takes you away from traffic. Ancient gravel tracks that take you up to 2,000 metres plus. B-roads where the state has run out of money to finish building them, leaving them in disrepair. This is gravel riding undiluted, where you'll almost certainly want tubeless MTB tires.
Morbegno - Damiani XBike is the go-to, especially when it comes to tuning suspension set-ups and fixing the trickiest mechanicals. Easy to find, his store is just off the main road on the way between Morbegno and Talamona.
Poggiridenti / Sondrio - Ciclisport will sort you right out. Another well-stocked bike shop that's located just off the main road on the way between Sondrio and Chiuro.
Castione / Sondrio - Going to give Decathlon a shout out here because it has basically everything if you're in a fix and its location is pretty hard to beat in terms of practicality. Spare tubes, CO2 cartridges, multi-tools. Oh, and our friend Mattia works there in the bike department and he's basically a genius when it comes to fixing mechanicals. Just ask for him.
Bike hire is still an open market in Valtellina, so take note and get in touch with us and we'll make some calls. | 2019-04-24T04:31:34 | https://www.valtellina-navigated.com/projects/ |

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that functions as an antioxidant in a partnership and synergist with Vitamin E to protect tissues and cell membranes. Among other things, it increases antioxidant enzyme levels in cells. Selenium is also an essential component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (each molecule of this enzyme contains four atoms of selenium). Glutathione peroxidase targets harmful hydrogen peroxide in the body and converts it into water. It is a particularly important guardian of blood cells and of the heart, liver, and lungs. Selenium also stimulates increased antibody response to infection.
Numerous plants contain Selenium, including garlic, asparagus, and grains, but the levels depend on soil content which varies from one geographic region to another. The best natural sources of Selenium include Brazil nut (over 500 mcg per ounce!), brown rice, seafood, eggs, tuna, and buckwheat.
Selenium can be found in meat and grains, depending on the selenium content of the soil where the food is raised. Because New Zealand soils are low in selenium, cattle and sheep raised there have suffered a breakdown of muscle tissue, including the heart muscle. However, human intake of selenium there is adequate because of imported Australian wheat. The soil of much American farm land is low in selenium, resulting in selenium-deficient produce.
Selenium can be found in Brazil nuts (the only truly concentrated natural source). The most concentrated food source for selenium is the Brazil nut; a single one contains 120 mcg, (which is about twice the RDA). Seafood in general, as well as poultry, such as chicken, and meat, are also good sources. So are grains, especially oats and brown rice. Other sources of selenium can be found in brewer's yeast, broccoli, dairy products, dulse, garlic, kelp, liver, molasses, onions, salmon, torula yeast, tuna, vegetables, and wheat germ.
Herbs that contain selenium include Alfalfa, Burdock Root, Catnip, Cayenne, Chamomile, Chickweed, >Fennel Seed, >Fenugreek, Garlic, Ginseng, Hawthorn Berry, Hops, Horsetail, Lemongrass, Milk Thistle, Nettle, Oat Straw, Paprika, Parsley, Peppermint, Raspberry Leaf, Rose Hips, Sarsaparilla, Uva Ursi, Yarrow, and Yellow Dock.
Asthma: Improves cellular oxidative defense which may counteract the inflammation and deficient respiration associated with asthma.
Cancer: Selenium's effectiveness as a preventative is most associated in esophageal and stomach cancers. It is also recognized to be effective in colon and rectal cancers. Vitamin E is known to be useful in helping reduce the risk of lung and breast cancer.
Cardiovascular Disease: Regular supplementation of both Vitamin E and Selenium are reported to improve cardiac risk profile and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Immunity: Both of these antioxidant factors help stimulate the function of immune cells throughout the body and are recognized as being beneficial to building the immune system.
Skin Health: Vitamin E and Selenium are also reported to be important in helping to maintain optimum skin health as well as being beneficial to people with liver disorders.
The trace mineral Selenium makes its way into our bodies because it is contained in certain foods. Over time, it becomes part of nearly every cell, with particularly high concentrations in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen, and testes. Selenium's principal function is to inhibit the oxidation of lipids (fats) as a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. It is a vital antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E. It protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals, which can damage the body.
Selenium plays a vital role in regulating the effects of thyroid hormone on fat metabolism.
Selenium has also been found to function as a preventive against the formation of certain types of tumors. One study found that men who took 200 mcg of Selenium daily over a 10 year period had roughly half the risk of developing lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer as compared with men who did not.
Selenium and Vitamin E act synergistically to aid in the production of antibodies and to help maintain a healthy heart and liver. This trace element is needed for pancreatic function and tissue elasticity. When combined with Vitamin E and Zinc, it may also provide relief from an enlarged prostate. Selenium supplementation has been found to protect the liver in people with alcoholic cirrhosis. Studies conducted at the University of Miami indicate that taking supplemental Selenium may enhance the survival of people with AIDS by increasing both red and white blood cell counts. It has shown promise in the treatment of arthritis, cardiovascular disease, male infertility, cataracts, AIDS, and high blood pressure. Selenium is incorporated into over 25 proteins, called selenoproteins, that play pivotal roles in a number of bodily activities, from activating thyroid hormones to regenerating vitamin C.
Selenium deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease. It has also been associated with exhaustion, growth impairment, high cholesterol levels, infections, liver impairment, pancreatic insufficiency, and sterility. There is some thought that selenium deficiency might be linked to a host of viral outbreaks, from new strains of influenza to Ebola, wrought by the rapidly mutating virus's interaction with selenium-deficient hosts in places like Africa and China where there is little or no selenium in the soil.
Symptoms of excessively high selenium levels can include arthritis, brittle nails, garlicky breath odor, gastrointestinal disorders, hair loss, irritability, liver and kidney impairment, a metallic taste in the mouth, pallor, skin eruptions, and yellowish skin.
Only over the past two decades have scientists begun to understand just what a vital role Selenium plays in numerous biological functions. Perhaps its most crucial job is to prevent disease.
Selenium has many tasks to perform in the body. It helps to boost the immune system and fight off infection, providing a general increase in the body's defense against dangerous bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. On a basic cellular level, every cell in the body needs a particular hormone from the thyroid gland that selenium helps to convert to an active form.
Perhaps the most famed use of Selenium in supplement form is as an antioxidant; it helps to mop up dangerous molecules known as free radicals that can damage and alter healthy cells. It has also been recommended for staving off the effects of aging. In many cases there is relatively weak evidence for these uses. But not all.
Prevent cancer. Test-tube studies indicate that in addition to fostering healthy cell growth and division, Selenium discourages the formation of tumors.
When researchers at Cornell University and the University of Arizona pooled results from 5-year studies designed to assess the effects of Selenium supplements (200 mcg daily), they came up with some startling findings: Compared with the rest of the population, participants had 63 percent fewer prostate cancers, 58 percent fewer colorectal tumors, and 46 percent fewer lung cancers. Overall, their death rate from cancer was 39 percent lower than the average.
Earlier studies had found that in people already diagnosed with cancer, those whose Selenium levels were lowest developed more subsequent tumors than those whose selenium levels were highest. Individuals with low selenium levels also had a greater likelihood of cancer recurrence, were at higher risk of having the cancer spread to new organs, and generally survived shorter periods of time.
Protect against heart attack and stroke. Selenium may decrease the "stickiness" of the blood, lessening its tendency to clot and thus reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. In addition, the mineral may encourage healthy heart function by increasing the proportion of HDL ("good") cholesterol to LDL ("bad") cholesterol. People who have already had a heart attack or a stroke, or who smoke, appear to benefit the most from selenium.
Guard against cataracts and macular degeneration. Selenium may help prevent the two most common causes of impaired vision and blindness in older Americans - cataracts and macular degeneration - by providing antioxidant actions that fight free radicals. It is these free radicals, after all, that often damage the eye's lens (the site of cataracts) and the macula at the center of the eye's retina (the site of macular degeneration).
Promote healing of cold sores and shingles. When the herpes virus erupts from a dormant state in the body, painful cold sores and shingles may appear. Selenium, an immune-system booster, may help suppress this kind of eruption. Interestingly, findings published in Agriculture Research indicate that mice with low levels of selenium or vitamin E were particularly prone to herpes virus outbreaks.
Fight inflammation associated with lupus. Selenium's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions may be enhanced when combined with Vitamin E. For people with lupus, an inflammatory autoimmune disease, this nutrient duo may foster healing of the skin and help protect the heart, blood vessels, skin, joints, and other parts of the body prone to inflammation. Along the same lines, the selenium/vitamin E combination may benefit people with other types of inflammatory disorders too, such as psoriasis, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Seleniumis 55 mcg for women and 70 mcg for men. This is the bare essential dose for maintaining health. Most adults readily obtain this amount through their regular diet, and it is rare that people living in an industrialized country become deficient in this important trace mineral. Taking up to 200 mcg of selenium per day is considered safe for most people and may be considered the optimal dose per day. This is half the maximum allowable dose. A maximum safe dose is 400 mcg daily. Amounts higher than 1,000 mcg (1 mg) daily may be toxic.
Selenium may be most effective when taken in combination with at least 400 IU Vitamin E daily.
For general antioxidant benefits, consider a high-potency antioxidant blend containing Selenium along with Vitamins C and Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Grapeseed and Green Tea extracts, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q-10, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
If You Get Too Little: Symptoms of selenium deficiency include muscle weakness and fatigue. Poor selenium intake over time may even increase the risk for cancer, immune-system problems, heart disease, and various inflammatory conditions (especially skin-related ones).
If You Get Too Much: While many foods are rich in selenium - it is found in grain, meats, seafood, and poultry - you are unlikely to ingest too much of this trace mineral from your diet.
Taking selenium in concentrated supplement form is a little different, however. Toxic reactions are a risk if you get an overdose. In one case, people who mistakenly took nearly 500 times the RDA for selenium - from bottles of 30 mg selenium pills that were erroneously labeled as 200 mcg pills - suffered hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and fingernail changes. Other signs of potential toxicity include depression, anxiety, and a garlicky odor emanating from the breath and perspiration.
For preventing the effects of aging and protecting against cancer: Take 400 mcg a day.
For guarding against cataracts and macular degeneration: Take 200 to 400 mcg a day.
For cold sores and shingles: During flare-ups, take 600 mcg a day. Do not take more than this amount, and do not continue for more than a few days.
200 mcg a day; may be covered by daily multivitamin and antioxidant complex.
600 mcg a day only during flare-ups.
200 mcg a day; may be partially covered by antioxidant complex.
There are no known drug or nutrient interactions associated with selenium.
Caution: Selenium can be very toxic in high doses. Do not exceed 200 mcg of selenium without advice from a health care provider. Selenium is most effective when taken in combination with at least 400 IU Vitamin E daily. Symptoms of selenosis (excessively high selenium level) can include arthritis, brittle nails, garlicky breath odor, gastrointestinal disorders, hair loss, irritability, liver and kidney impairment, a metallic taste in the mouth, pallor, skin eruptions, tooth loss, and yellowish skin.
Unless your health care provider prescribes it, do not take more than 400 mcg daily. One ounce of Brazil nuts can contain as much as 544 mcg of selenium. If you take supplemental selenium, do not consume Brazil nuts. If you are pregnant, you should NOT take more than 40 mcg of supplemental selenium daily, nor should you consume Brazil nuts.
Because of the risk of toxic levels building up in your system, avoid taking high doses, 900 mcg or more at one time, or 600 mcg daily for an extended period of time. Be sure to also take into account the amount of selenium you're getting from foods.
Selenium promotes normal body growth, enhances fertility, encourages tissue elasticity and is a potent antioxidant that naturally reduces the retention of toxic metals in the body. Selenium is crucial for the proper functioning of the heart muscle and there is evidence that it can help the body fight cancer. Selenium is an essential component of glutathione, the body's most potent natural antioxidant system. It is a popular choice in many antioxidant regimens. Selenium helps prevent premature aging, boosts immunity, protects against cancer. Take 300 mcg daily or as recommended by your health care provider.
Vitamin E Succinate (as d-alpha-tocopheryl Acid Succinate) takes vitamin E's antioxidant action one step further, and may help bring vitamin E into and across cell membranes. Succinate feeds directly into the Krebs cycle, our major metabolic pathway for generating energy. This extra dimension from succinate significantly extends the protective properties of vitamin E. The succinate form of vitamin E is derived from soy. The amount of residual soy antigens in this product is very small. This form may enhance membrane integration of Vitamin E.
Nature's Gate Vitamin E Oil is a special blend of rich, naturally emollient oils. Vitamin E has been combined with Grapeseed and Safflower Oils for their soothing, nourishing antioxidant properties. The result is an ideal, non-sticky moisturizer that is quickly absorbed to help provide renewed softness and suppleness.

Re the B12 spray: as far as I could get an answer, 1200 mcg is the sum of the four sprays.
RLS, so many variables cause and effect it.
I'd vote for the codeine. In the vein of menthol crystals, I've been using a menthol gel which helps. The brand I use is Biofreeze Cold Therapy Pain Relief Gel but there are others.
I agree, Sinemet would not be useful if taking a DA every day but it was great for occasional use. I'm trying to convince my sister to try it on long flights. She can cope otherwise but flying is hell for her.
Beth, do you take any other DAs? Sinemet was my first, about 20 years ago and it was great until I augmented on it. Now I take .25 ropinerole and some low doses of opioids but thinking about plane trips still freak me out. From New Zealand all flights are long.
Thanks, Steve. I never have believed the hysteria about amalgam fillings but your scientific explanation is valuable.
My phone changes New Zealand to New Zombie which describes me at night.
Betty, that is truly a nightmare for anyone but doubly so for someone with RLS. Hope you are recovering! | 2019-04-25T05:04:13 | http://bb.rls.org/search.php?author_id=19448&sr=posts& |

Who is Jussie Smollett, the actor charged with building his own attack?
Home https://server7.kproxy.com/servlet/redirect.srv/sruj/smyrwpoii/p2/ Entertainment https://server7.kproxy.com/servlet/redirect.srv/sruj/smyrwpoii/p2/ Who is Jussie Smollett, the actor charged with building his own attack?
Star Jussie Smollett, who was accused on Wednesday of a racist and homophobic attack on herself in Chicago last month, has been in the light of recent weeks – but perhaps not for reasons why a career actor and singer would prefer.
Mr. Smollett, who is black and blatantly gay, reported in January that he was the victim of an attack during which masked men poured chemicals on him and put a string around his neck, giving rise to the release of support from fans, activists and politicians. In a big twist, mr. Smollett, who is in the mid-30's, accused Wednesday of a crime number of disorderly behavior associated with the episode.
Herr. Smollett is best known for his play in "Empire", a hip-hop drama on Fox, where he plays a son who gives way to the throne of his father's musical riches.
Grows up with five siblings who pursue careers in acting, modeling and music, mr. Smollett appeared for the first time on the big screen in 1992. He has been supporting roles in several other film and television shows since he also started a career as an R&B song.
"Empire", which completed its fifth season last year, follows a former drug dealer converted into hip-hop mogul Lucious Lyon, whose three sons are competing to run their multimillion-dollar company. Mr. Smollett's character, Jamal Lyon, is a gay singer-songwriter who starts the series from his father because of his sexuality. Mr. Smollett sings in and has written for the series soundtrack.
As a child, Mr. Smollett a role in the family comedy film "The Mighty Ducks" about a lawyer who will train a youth hockey team after he was sentenced to community service. Two years later, Smollett noticed five of his brothers and sisters in an ABC sitcom called "On Our Own" about siblings who are orphans after their parents die in a car accident.
Mr. Smollett's younger sister, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, has grown up to make her mark also in the real world. She is one of the leaders in "Underground", a WGN America show about a group of slaves trying to escape from their Georgia plantation. Mr. Smollett is a guest star on the show.
In 2017 Mr. Smollett in the science-fiction thriller "Alien: Covenant". That year, he also played Langston Hughes in the movie "Marshall", a biopic about Thurgood Marshall, the justice of the first African-American Supreme Court.
Mr. Smollett and his siblings have been pronounced politically and devoted to causes such as H.I.V./AIDS prevention and racist justice. Mr. Smollett sits on the board of four charities, including the Trayvon Martin Foundation and the Black AIDS Institute, according to his website.
Mr. Smollett also has a singing career separate from "Empire." In March, he released a 10-layer R&B album. Days after he reported the attack, Mr Smollett performed for a sold out crowd in West Hollywood, California, told his fans that he would not let his attackers win and that he "should be here tonight."
Mr. Smollett told police in January that, while he was in Chicago, he had been faced with masked white men who directed homophobic and racist slurs on him and announced it was "MAGA country", a reference to President Trump's campaign word.
When Mr Smollett asked whether his hate crime report was truthful, he continued to insist that the incident occurred as he reported.
In a statement published by Fox on Wednesday before the Chicago police noticed Mr. Smollett is a suspect in the case, the network said that his character was not written out by "empire" in response to the police's announcement that the investigation path had changed in contrast to reports from several news stores. Fox later refused to comment after Mr Smollett was accused.
On Wednesday night after his accusation, his lawyers said in a statement: "Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, especially when there has been an investigation like this, where information, both true and false, has been repeated repeatedly. times.

When you awake in the middle of the night and there is no night light on, you don’t walk at normal speed do you? That could be dangerous to your health. A child of God endangers his spiritual health when he neglects the light God has provided through His Word, His Spirit, His church, and His gift of prayer, choosing rather the dimness of the world’s light instead.

The news of a stand-alone golf course closing these days really isn't that big of a deal in many places around the country. But the news that a golf resort is closing all 27 holes of its only course to become a standalone hotel? That's a sadly unique story.
The Daily Herald reported that the Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale, Ill. will close its Blackhawk Trace Golf Club at the end of the 2016 season and its conference center in mid-December to focus on the future of the hotel.
First ILR, LLC, which owns the resort at 250 W. Schick Road, announced it will make the operational changes and invest about $4 million in the property over the next year. The company said in a statement its objective is to make the hotel viable for decades to come "by focusing on the Bloomingdale and local market, rather than compete for out-of-town conventions and meetings.
Indian Lakes sells guests on an urban getaway in suburban Chicago -- a lush golf resort set on 260 acres within 40 minutes of downtown and 15 miles of O'Hare Airport. The loss is a blow to the public golf scene in Illinois, a state already lacking in traditional golf resorts.
If the Golf Advisor reviews are any indication, many locals will miss Blackhawk Trace and its signature island green. The resort's former West Course -- a Robert Bruce Harris design dating to 1965 -- underwent an extensive renovation by Rick Jacobsen in 2003.
Many reviews this season praise the steady pace of play, a friendly staff and a course that isn't overly challenging but just enough to be interesting. The message: Play the three- to four-star course while you can.
Golf Advisor user uCZMT1844CZ titled his four-star review "Always a good experience." | 2019-04-26T02:23:04 | https://www.golfadvisor.com/articles/report-suburban-chicago-golf-resort-to-shutter-its-27-hole-course-following-season |

Royals GM Dayton Moore will likely make a big splash in the free agent market once again. Two years ago, he signed Gil Meche to a five-year, $55MM deal. Last year, he signed Jose Guillen to a three-year, $36MM contract. This year, his big target appears to be Rafael Furcal, which would allow the Royals to move Mike Aviles to second base. Moore is also believed to be willing to trade anyone on the team with the exceptions of Meche, Zack Greinke, and Joakim Soria.
Raul Ibanez isn’t likely to be back with the Mariners as a free agent next season. Perrotto feels that Ibanez is a good bet to become the Rays’ designated hitter for 2009.
The Diamondbacks originally wanted to use Jon Rauch as their closer for 2009 and let Brandon Lyon leave through free agency. Rauch’s recent string of rough outings has them reconsidering that train of thought.
The Marlins will try to trade Kevin Gregg this offseason, and will likely non-tender him if they don’t find match.
The Braves are looking to add two starters for the 2009 campaign. General manager Frank Wren has traveled overseas to scout Japanese pitchers Koji Uehara and Kenshin Kawakami already this year.
The Nationals have a crowded situation at first base with both Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young under contract, but they’ll still be looking to improve at the position in the offseason. | 2019-04-19T00:53:41 | https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/09/perrottos-lat-1-6.html |

Sure, dozens of celebrities have accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but we can’t help but feel like this one is a bit unique.
In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, Kermit the Frog accepted the challenge from WWE CEO Vince McMahon to dump a bucket of cold water on his head to raise money and awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Kermit nominated his “Muppets Most Wanted” co-stars Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell to either complete the challenge or donate to an ALS charity of their choice (preferably both). The Ice Bucket Challenge has helped raise more than $41 million so far for research and patient care, according to the ALS Association.
Watch Kermit risk his life to help save others in the hilarious video below.

A civil society organization (CSO), "67 million initiatives," has ranked Ebonyi, Akwa Ibom and Enugu among the top states with the highest youth participation in politics.
One of the group's organizers, Luqman Edu, revealed it at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
Edu said the assessment was done for 18 to 45 year olds.
He noted that data were collected by group members in different states to reveal the rate of youth participation in their states as part of his "initiative".
The facilitator said the report would be published regularly to show the performance of the federal and state governments regarding young elected officials.
According to him, the goal is to promote youth participation in politics.
"Ebonyi has the highest youth participation rate at 36%, followed by Akwa Ibom and Enugu with 34% each, with Bauchi fourth at 32%.
"The Imo and Niger states each had 29%, Nasarawa 26%, while Katsina, Kogi and Zamfara each had 25 and Kaduna 24.
"Meanwhile, Yobe and Kwara States recorded the lowest turnout of youth with 5.67%, followed with 7.67% Ogun, Osun, Jigawa and Bayelsa with barely 9.67%.
Edu said the data revealed the low participation of young people in politics, a story the group was working to change.
Another organizer, Mark Okoye, Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Anambra, said that "Initiative 67 million," was a coalition of Nigerians whose mandate was to mobilize young people to participate in politics.
Okoye said the goal of the group was to create a voice for the 67 million young people, regardless of religion, political party, tribe or gender.
He said the goal was to build and take advantage of youth block voting for their interest in having many young people appointed to various positions in the states.
Mr. Muhammed Abdulahi, Commissioner of the Ministry of Budget and State Planning of Kaduna, said the group would begin its work at the grassroots.
Abdullahi said that for the 2019 elections, the group would support the emergence of young candidates on all political platforms at the State and National Assembly levels.
He said that with this initiative, states would be closely monitored to find out the level of youth in elected offices while advising them to secure elective positions.
Mr. Asuquo Ekpenyong, another organizer and Commissioner for Finance in Cross River, said the group believed in the basic policy to support young people who were fighting for positions at the base.
Ekpenyong said the group also believed in the growth of youth in politics, so the focus was not yet on the presidential race but on the assembly chambers and the National Assembly.
He said in this way that young people would learn the principles of the race for elective positions. | 2019-04-21T11:00:39 | https://www.emmy.ng/2018/08/ebonyi-akwa-ibom-enugu-top-list-of.html |
In 2018, I wrote about a caravan of grandparents who stormed the Texas-Mexico border to protest Trump’s treatment of migrant children, Gabriel García Márquez’s memories of his grandmother, and many other topics.
Grandparents and grandchildren need one another, so parents shouldn’t stand in the way, says grandmother and journalist Connie Schultz.
Do you dream of living near your grandkids?
There are a lot of good reasons to move closer to your grandkids. Then again, there are some good reasons to stay where you are. I asked some grandparents who made the move what happened next.

Prelude 2017 was a complete success! Thank you to every student who came, worked hard, sang and danced like they meant it, and made the day what it was!
After a long day of rehearsals and an amazing presentation from USF’s instructor of choral activities, Dr. Dungee, every chorus student participated in our traditional games: Ships and Sailors and Extreme Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Following these fantastic games, each group performed a song for the rest of their chorus peers. Beginning Women’s Chorus took the floor first with the classic “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” from the Broadway musical Gypsy. After them came JV Women’s Chorus with “I Got the Sun in the Morning” from the musical Annie Get Your Gun. The men of Plant High Chorus then gave an outstanding performance of “Brotherhood of Man” from How to Succeed in Business. The Varsity Women performed “Not for the Life of Me” from Thoroughly Modern Millie. Following these four groups, both a cappella groups performed a song: Pawcappella performed “I Feel It Coming” by The Weeknd and The Pink Panthers performed “American Boy” by Estelle.
Prelude was concluded with a performance for the Freshman Orientation. We sang the National Anthem, Plant’s Alma Mater, and Plant’s Fight Song with the band.
Overall, we had a wonderful day! Every student’s spirit was high and full of energy. If Prelude was any indication, Plant Chorus 2017-2018 has the potential to be one of the greatest! | 2019-04-25T18:02:08 | https://planthighchorus.com/2017/08/09/recap-photos-of-prelude-2017/ |
I no longer listen to Adam Tinkoff’s podcasts, but there is one thing that always stuck with me about his recorded runs–I could never figure out how much time he actually spent running and how much time he spent taking pictures.
One of the things I was looking forward to doing on my trip to Las Vegas last week for DeafNation World Expo was to have a nice run up The Strip. Because of the heat I was looking for an early morning run. On Saturday morning I took a couple of friends to the airport a little after 5:00 and came back to start my run. It was a mere 87 degrees.
To make it a Tinkoff run I made sure that I took my camera. The plan was to run for an hour and a half. You can take a lot of pictures in that time. However I was a little surprised to find I had taken 73 at the end of the run. I think Adam would be proud.
My hotel was an off-strip hotel. I entered the strip at Harmon Avenue and ran south. I ran down to MGM Grand and crossed over Las Vegas Blvd. at New York-New York to head back north. I spent a few minutes at the Bellagio fountain before going up to Caesar’s Palace. Though I had been in Las Vegas for a week at that point, I had not spent any time going through the hotels. I found out later that I probably would have really enjoyed the Bellagio and Caesar’s Palace. There are many free exhibits to see in all the hotel lobbies (along with many things I really didn’t want to see).
At Caesar’s Palace I saw a man running away from the hotel with very little clothing, and what he did have on was wet. I thought it was a homeless guy taking an early morning bath. When I got closer to one of the fountain areas I noticed there was a lot of water on the sidewalk. When I went back out to the main road I saw 3 college-age guys putting their clothes back on laughing about their adventure in the pond.
I continued up to the bridge over Sand’s/Spring Mountain Road and met a couple of men from England. We had a nice chat and then I ran on up toward Wynn and Encore before crossing over Las Vegas Blvd and headed south again.
Because it was so early in the morning I was able to run in the shade the whole time. It gave some really neat lighting to some of my pictures. Others ended up “flat” because there were no shadows to set off one layer from another. However there were also fewer people to get in the way of the camera.
The run ended with me shooting back out Harmon Avenue over to my hotel on Koval. I ran 5.7 miles and took 73 photos in 1 hour and 26 minutes. That is almost 1 picture per minute. I am not sure how that compares to an Adam Tinkoff run, but maybe he has some stats he would like to share in the comments.
This can easily go on my list of favorite runs. While it is not even close to my all-time favorite, it certainly ranks high on the list.
I love this post. It’s been a very a long time since I’ve had a such an “Adam Tinkoff” run. Love Las Vegas, but not for the obvious reasons – hope you plan to post a few more of those great photos. Thanks so much. I’m absolutely flattered.
Great pics, especialy that last one. Is that really water?
Yes, that’s really water! Pretty amazing. I have other pictures from that spot, but the smooth lighting from the shadows makes it look surreal. Quite amazing. | 2019-04-22T18:39:42 | http://www.mythoughtspot.com/2010/08/01/my_adam_tinkoff_run/ |

We have just returned from our annual Feb half term holiday down south where we do two days visiting my bother and then travel over to Devon to spend a week near my Nanna. Whilst on our break we were lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Visit South Devon once again and this time they invited us to take a trip to the South Devon Railway.
The South Devon Railway is an award winning seven mile former Great Western Railway branch line, built in 1872, which runs along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh and Totnes offering you the opportunity to travel this stretch of the countryside by steam train. It stops not just at Buckfastleigh and Totness but also at Staverton and you can get on and off at any of these stations, however we were given the handy hint that there is ample free parking at Buckfastleigh and not at the other two stations, making it the perfect starting point for our journey.
When we arrived at Buckfastleigh as well as the ample free parking we also noticed that there were a few things to look at including a second hand book shop, some old trains, a coffee shop and on the platform itself is a lovely little museum that is included in your ticket price. The museum allows you to explore some old trains and pieces of machinery and has some hands on bits for the kids to enjoy whilst you wait for the train. I would recommend you arrive a little early to allow time for this or remember to visit when you return.
The train station itself is only small and oldie worldie and all the staff we met were are an absolute delight, so helpful and informative and clearly loving what they do, which is great especially as the majority of the staff you see will be volunteers.
The train, like I said, is an old steam engine, and the carriages are old fashioned too. They are comfy and quaint and some carriages have little curtains that reminded of trains from old films and are not like the trains we have to today so is a great experience for children to see the comparisons.
We traveled from Buckfastleigh to Totnes which took 30 minutes and traveled through the most picturesque countryside views, with lots of greenery, fields, a goblin and elves (yes a goblin and elves) to one side and the river Dart, free roaming cows and more beautiful greenery to the other. It is definitely worth swapping sides for the return journey so you get to take in both views.
We decided to turn our train ride into a day out but of course you can choose to stay on board and return to Buckfastleigh on the very next train. Instead we departed at Totnes and walked into town to explorer. Totnes is a lovely little town center with a high street full of shops, cafes and pubs which will easily help you pass the time. We also chose to stop for lunch at The Dartmouth Inn where the food was delicious and the portions sizes incredible, especially their childen’s meals, so if you do decide to stop for lunch head to this place as you won’t be disappointed. After lunch we had a little walk down by the river and then stopped at the park on the way back to the train station ready to return on the last train of the day.
There is also a castle in Totnes that we were hoping to visit but unfortunately it was closed but if you are planning on staying in Totnes I would suggest you check the castle opening times as this would make for a lovely addition to your day out.
Our return journey was just as beautiful as our out going journey and we also got talking to a member of staff who was just hysterical and was telling us all about the local history and some recent news items, making the journey even more memorable. There is a food and drink cart on board the train as well as some memorabilia for sale so if you think you might like to purchase anything make sure you have cash on you.
Overall we had a wonderful day out with all 4 generations of my family enjoying it in equal measures. It is without a doubt a real family pleaser of a trip, oh and you can even buy a ticket for the dog too!
Depending on the time of year you visit will depend on the regularity of the trains so be sure to check on line before you book but for us we found that we had ample time between trains to enjoy exploring a new place and I would highly recommend this as a holiday activity if you are in the area.
(We were given complementary tickets in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own).
Looks like a great day out, my toddler would love that!
Oh wow this is definitely going on our wish list! My family is train obsessed.
Get on a steam train this year as me and my grandma were booked to go on a day trip on one when I was little but we never made it because she does the night before.
oh no I am sorry to hear that. I sure do hope you manage to get on a steamie this year and have a wonderful time. | 2019-04-26T11:50:49 | https://thestrawberryfountain.com/child-reviews/a-review-of-the-south-devon-railway/ |
A native of Finland, Jarno Huttunen's dream was to come to the U.S. and become a well-known photographer. In 2011, when he came to America and began studying at Suffolk County Community College, his dream began to come true. He is now a photographic imaging major, whose work, while interning for the College’s media services department, propelled him into the spotlight. Huttunen also played forward on the College’s nationally ranked and regional championship soccer team. | 2019-04-21T11:03:43 | http://scccmedia.weebly.com/jarno-huttunen.html |
This building was constructed in two stages, the north portion being completed in 1898 and the south portion in 1902, using consistent construction materials and design. Both parts were designed by James H. Cadham. It was originally the home of hardware dealer George D. Wood, later the Wood Vallance Company, that was acquired by the hardware firm of Marshall-Wells Company. Beginning in the mid-1920s, a series of smaller tenants occupied the building. The office of the Manitoba Historical Society was located in the building from 2004 to 2007. | 2019-04-25T22:48:33 | https://www.spacelist.ca/listings/78497/mb/winnipeg/for-lease/office/307-250_mcdermot_ave |

Ideally I'd like to have voting started asap on the White Knight Awards site, however there are a few categories that only have one nomination. While that wouldn't normally be a problem as I could simply carry that category forward to the next round, one of the categories is for New Author, which I simply *can't* postpone voting on that for 12 months.
Hey, hon, I have a question: I nominated some things the other night. Did you get them?
Hey sweetie - pretty sure I did, I'm about to do more updates right now so if you check and see the ones you nominated are missing can you let me know?
I think we're all squared away. I also just nominated someone else. I am trying to find some to fit the low categories as well.

A common misconception some gamers have is that free games are bad, or they end up as pay-to-win. Obviously, that’s not completely true for every MMO. Here are some Free to Play Steam Games that prove they’re just as good as paid ones.
This list can’t be complete without the direct successor of the granddaddy of all MOBAs. What was once a custom map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the “sequel” is now a game that runs on the Source 2 engine.
Also, Dota 2 has a huge, lively, healthy, and competitive esports scene.
At first glance, some players call POE as a Diablo rip. It’s not hard to see why people say this since the game also has your usual character class archetypes, randomized troves of items, and the same dark and gothic atmosphere. That quick judgment the game frequently receives, however, is quickly dismissed once players discover its unique character customization and progression system. In turn, this allows them to customize their POE characters.
On top of those defining traits, POE recently got bigger in its Return to Oriath expansion. With five new acts that continue where the game last left off, new maps, items and a character customization system for characters, this hack-and-slash dungeon crawler became more one-of-a-kind.
The title refers to the high-tech battle suits players don in the game, which takes place in a world of ultra-advanced tech and interstellar travel. There is a wide variety of Warframes, and each one has its role, specialty, and play style. It’s up to the players to decide which ones are a good fit.
Aside from the space-age aesthetics and cool suits, Warframe is mostly about combat. The fighting is always sleek and smart because it’s simply not about who has faster reflexes, it’s about who has the better approach to combat. If you want fast-paced battles in a futuristic sci-fi universe, you can’t go wrong with Warframe.
If you want a hero-based shooter but aren’t sure if it’s worth buying a PVP-only game, Paladins is a solid alternative that has a few twists of its own. Paladins have more MOBA elements than Overwatch. The heroes have more skills under their belt, and like in a MOBA, heroes’ level up within the match. It gives players a sense of progress, and the ability to have the advantage if they play their cards right.
ArcheAge is a sandbox MMO from Korean developer XL Games, which gave us Lineage. It offers usual role-playing game fare: a sprawling medieval fantasy world and lots of content. What are the things that make ArcheAge different? Well, a diverse class system, a strangely exciting exploration and trading, and freedom to do a vast amount of things.
No money? No problem, thanks to these free Steam games. We hope you give them a shot and enjoy them not because they cause zilch, but since they’re awesome games that are worthy of attention. | 2019-04-25T14:26:32 | https://blog.playerauctions.com/others/free-to-play-steam-games-try/ |

Spiritual Pressure. | Where In The World Is Kelsey?
I originally wrote this on September 22, 2013. Almost two years later, I feel these words resonate so deeply with me still. May it bless you on your journey.
Someone once told me to rejoice in spiritual oppression because feeling opposition from evil means you’re doing something that Satan doesn’t like.
That sounds like a nice rhetoric, yet whilst in the middle of a spiritual battle , any feeling of joy is highly unlikely.
These emotions have replaced my usual, optimistic outlook on life and I can’t figure out if it’s rooted in spiritual pressure or God’s gift of discipline.
The Bible talks a lot about God disciplining us, molding us like jars of clay, or teaching us to trust in Him. It’s not unusual to suffer in Christ, take up a cross, or, like Paul, struggle with a thorn in our literal or hypothetical side, but when it all comes down to it, how do we know the difference?
Where is God in evil?
Maybe God is trying to teach me some altruistic life lesson? This is the Christianese, churchy, “trust in God” kind of answer that I’ve heard a couple times in the past few months from well meaning and loving friends. While it could be true, it doesn’t really help me at all. Instead, it’s just a spiritual band-aid on a bleeding wound.
If God is trying to teach me something, why do I hear lies running through my head all day? I’ve separated myself from my church family because I don’t fit in anymore. I’m consumed with negative self talk and thoughts that scare me while I’m laying in bed at night.
Does this really sound like God?
Now, I’m stuck. I’m left in this weird place of spiritual confusion and discouragement.
For someone who used to know all the answers, I’m at a loss for what’s happening in my life. Deep down, I know God is in my life somewhere, but when I can’t hear Him, see Him, or experience Him, I am left wondering where He’s hiding. I feel spiritually abandoned, like I don’t belong to anyone.
So, where is God in evil? Does He allow evil to happen for purpose or is it simply part of our broken world?

The vast majority of tax incentives go to those at the top, not to those who need it most. Together, we will turn our upside-down tax code right-side up.
Each year, $660 billion in tax incentives go to support wealth building in important areas such as homeownership, higher education and retirement. However, the vast majority of this money goes to the very wealthy who need it the least. Tax plans currently being considered by leaders in Congress and the incoming Administration would make this problem even worse. We need tax reform that will provide more help to low- and moderate-income households to build wealth and get ahead.

We swing our arms to the music – pendulum fashion, and then stop and listen. Ali quotes Nancy Stark-Smith, a pioneer of Contact Improvisation that there is gap between engagement and non-engagement when dancing at a jam. Ali talks, and explores this by drawing wall charts – a lecture.
The gap is that space between the learning zone and panic space, Ali suggests. What are the choices facing us in the gap?
‘Yes’ & ‘No’ We move in the space and approach people – at the point of meeting and facing them we must say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and then dance or not dance with them. It’s confrontational, and there’s rejection, relief and celebration.
Intimacy We stand with a partner, eyes closed, facing them. Opening the eyes, we must engage with act of intimacy which could be touching their head or hair or hand. Or maybe dancing with our hands and arms for example.
Statues Twelve of the people in the workshop take part in a improvised performance which we are to analyse from the perspective of being the audience or performers. Of the twelve then four must stand motionless in the performance while the others move and do whatever they like. There’s lots of attention for one motionless man who is teased by the others – he confidently volunteered when it came to choosing people. Others dance separately – in duets or trios; one person is carried between people.
Blindfolds Another set of twelve people perform – including me. Four people are blindfolded, and the remainder are not blindfolded. We must perform together – it’s improvised and again – we can do ANYTHING. The non-blindfolded people – including me – track the blindfolded people and ‘protect’ them from harm. We are timid and there’s little innovation – we definitely don’t do ANYTHING. The audience watches the performers; the non-blindfolded performers watch the blindfolded people. Afterwards, the blindfolded people say they felt free. I notice that the blindfolded people couldn’t see if those with which they interact, are blindfolded or not.
Black-box We create a box with an open side. The box is formed by standing with our backs to the interior – thus we’re creating the ‘walls’. We can enter the box and do whatever we like but we must maintain the box. I stand as the wall and I don’t enter the box space – someone has to keep the space! Besides, I can see through the studio door – it has a glass window – to outside in the corridor and people have gathered outside; we play – signaling, they pressing their faces to the glass window, we blow kisses. That’s cheating says Ali.
We end with feedback and discussion. Although the opportunity arose in our performances, we didn’t do ‘anything’ but mostly danced! The gap it seems, is a very small one. | 2019-04-21T12:07:57 | http://andrewdance.org/contact-meets-contemporary/the-gap-with-ali-schwartz/ |

That is only one of the myriad of problems with the ASG. Fixing this problem would do nothing to solve the real issues. Which is that the best players don't always make the ASG. Rudy was good enough to be an All-star in the West. But the selection system is broken so he doesn't.
None of that would matter except that it actually matters to the players. Which is the only reason it shouldn't just be scrapped all together. It's unwatchable.
Does anyone know if a website that is tracking declarations from media voters on dpoy all nba and other awards?
Are you talking about nominations or voting?
BTW, there used to be a "like" feature on this site --- points given, etc. Is that still around?
Early voting favorable for Rudy 3rd team all nba and DPOY. let's hope trend continues. No love yet for KAT, awesome! | 2019-04-20T08:27:59 | https://jazzfanz.com/threads/all-nba.108250/page-2 |

My husband, Pete, and I just returned from our Carnival Cruise to Alaska and I feel like I can still smell the scent of pine mixed with salty sea air. It was a cool and refreshing break for an otherwise hot summer, and the memories we made on the cruise are ones we’ll be talking about and sharing for years to come.
An Alaskan cruise is a bucket list dream for many, and it’s so easy to see why with the great outdoors and adventurous excursions being a huge draw. One of the best perks to cruising this state is the chance to see countless glaciers and wildlife that you wouldn’t otherwise get the chance to see by traveling on land. Each port has something unique to offer, so I’ve outlined some of the highlights below.
Carnival’s Alaskan Cruise departs out of Seattle, which, if you’ve never been, is a fun port city to visit. There’s the iconic Space Needle from the 1962 World’s Fair, the very first Starbucks Coffee Shop at Pike’s Market, plus Seattle Center that’s full of museums, interesting architecture, and fun entertainment. Since we flew in from the east coast, we were a little worried about jet lag, but the city’s coffee culture that birthed the iconic green mermaid icon is still booming, with countless independent cafes on nearly every corner. A brisk walk through the hilly city and a few cups of java perked us up and got us on west coast time fairly quickly.
Throughout our cruise, my husband and I would grab a cup of coffee and go for a walk out on deck to fit in some exercise while taking in the views. We saw countless humpback whales, hanging glaciers, waterfalls tricking off the mountains from the summer snow melt, and more bald eagles than I’ve seen in my life. Whether we were going for one of our walks, or simply enjoying the scenery from our stateroom balcony, watching the scenic coastline of Alaska was one of our favorite parts of the cruise.
Cruising Tracy Arm Fjord was an all day on-deck adventure as we never had to leave the comfort of the ship. No matter where we were, having a meal in the Unicorn Cafe, sipping coffee out on the Serenity Deck, or just watching the world go by from the privacy of our balcony, we were surrounded by lush landscapes, dense forests, and waterfalls. As we got closer to the main glacier, we’d even spot sea lions floating on small ice bergs slowly drifting by. It was hard to take your eyes off the scenery, but thankfully, there was a great view no matter where you were on the ship.
Skagway was our first on-shore adventure, the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari, that included a whole day of activities including boarding a smaller boat to a private island, a picnic lunch amid wildflowers and mountains, a hike through a rain forest, a canoe ride, and an epic finale at the face of a glacier we could actually touch. The photo of us from this excursion with the vibrant blue glacier in the background is the one that’s definitely going in a frame for my desk. I actually wrote a whole post about the experience that you can see here (link to post).
Juneau is not only Alaska’s capitol city, but it is also where a 37 square mile ice field begins, making it one of the few capitol cities that’s only accessible by boat or plane. We spent the morning on an excursion to Mendenhall Glacier, going for a few hikes to see waterfalls and wildlife, with plenty of time in the afternoon to explore downtown Juneau’s shops and restaurants too. You can check out more of our Mendenhall Glacier pictures and tips for what to see in Juneau in our Mendenhall Glacier post.
Ketchikan has a lot to see in town, including their historic Creek Street and the Park District. We spent the day here going for a walk around town, taking salmon selfies with a sculpture by the creek, and enjoying some local Raven’s Brew coffee at the Good Coffee Company. We also climbed the stairs at the edge of Creek Street up to the Civic Center and Cape Fox Lodge to take a look at the elaborately carved Native Totems.
While Victoria was the shortest of the stops, it was still very memorable. As the capitol of British Columbia, there was plenty to see in the downtown area. After dinner on the ship, Pete and I went for a stroll along Ogden Point and Fisherman’s Wharf, marveling at the adorable house boat village and taking pictures in front of the landmark Parliament Building that was so beautifully lit against a late summer evening sky.
Overall, we loved our Pacific Northwest adventure. From watching the rugged shoreline, to whale watching, and exploring the wilderness to see glaciers all make a memorable Alaskan cruise. | 2019-04-19T16:33:39 | https://www.carnival.com/awaywego/travel/alaska/alaskan-cruise-highlights |
