BkiUcE3xaJJQnKrAjf_M | National Forests Close Due To Fire Danger
Due to unprecedented fire activity and unsafe conditions, the USDA Forest Service has issued closure orders across Oregon and southern Washington. Full closure orders are in effect on the Mt. Hood, Siuslaw, and Willamette National Forests. Large area closure orders are in place on the Deschutes, Fremont-Winema, Gifford Pinchot, Rogue River-Siskiyou, and Umpqua National Forests, as well as the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
As of Friday morning, according to the Northwest Coordination Center, there are approximately 1.5 million acres affected by fire across Oregon and Washington. About 7,000 firefighters and fire support personnel are assigned to wildfire operations in the region.
These temporary closures are in place to support evacuation efforts, fire suppression, and access for fire crews. Orders restrict access to all but emergency personnel and persons with a permit authorizing their presence in the closure areas. Drivers are urged to use caution as many forest roads may be busy with firefighters, fire vehicles, and heavy equipment engaged in suppression and containment efforts.
"Firefighters and emergency responders are doing everything they can to protect communities and safely engage wildfires," said Glenn Casamassa, Pacific Northwest Regional Forester. "We are facing unprecedented wildfire activity and our top priority is public safety. Please help us give our firefighters and emergency responders the space they need to do their job."
Forests not under closure orders have implemented strict fire restrictions, including campfire bans, due to high and extreme fire danger levels. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, please use extreme caution with fire. One small spark can cause a large wildfire and add additional strain to firefighters and available resources.

BkiUfIY5qhLBlnv5FjlS | Over the last few weeks there was some discussion on the difference in performance between the different neo4j drivers: Barebones HTTP requests much faster than python neo4j-driver and py2neo?. The results were that for the ETL type jobs that I was running, simple HTTP requests are currently faster than going through other libraries. Specifically when executing many statements in a single request (100+) and/or when requesting a lot of data (1000+ rows) the speed-up is a factor 3-6x.
What we are releasing today is a convenient wrapper that abstract away the HTTP requests and allows you to focus on building the statements and handling the results. Currently there is only support for 'single-request transactions'. This reduces the complexity both for the library and also for the user of our neo4j-connector.
We're looking forward to hearing your feedback!
Barebones HTTP requests much faster than python neo4j-driver and py2neo?
Thanks so much for your contribution. I think this will be helpful for folks who need the best transport performance in python.
Thanks for sharing. I'm currently using neo4j-connector.run_multiple(statements) to upload cypher queries, and it's quite convenient for uploading many queries (100+) in a single request. However, when I run more statements continuously, and use multiprocessing the run_multiple() function, the query time gets slower. Do you have any suggestion to handle large amount of cypher queries?
My pleasure, glad that you like it! The performance decrease depends very much on the type of queries you are using, regardless of the method with which you execute them.
Thanks for the hints. After creating more indexes on the nodes, it gets faster. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUddLxaKgQJFc-ist5 | Emmy Nominations: 'Mildred Pierce,' 'Mad Men' Lead
5:46 AM PDT 7/14/2011 by Marisa Guthrie
Andrew Schwartz/HBO
The HBO Kate Winslet starrer earns 21 noms, AMC's "Men" gets 19. "Friday Night Lights" and "Big Bang Theory" get noms after years of snubs.
Two perennially snubbed broadcast series finally received Emmy nominations this year. The low-rated but crucially hailed Friday Night Lights, which has already ended its run on DirecTV and will soon air its finale on NBC, finally received a nomination in the drama category. And CBS' The Big Bang Theory – which last year saw star Jim Parsons at long last take home the Emmy for lead comedy actor – scored a comedy series nod.
PHOTOS: Emmy Nominees 2011
Friday Night Lights will compete with AMC's Mad Men – which received the most nominations of any series with 19 – Showtime's Dexter, CBS' The Good Wife and two HBO freshmen (Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones).
Big Bang will go up against five broadcast comedies; Fox's Glee, ABC's Modern Family and NBC threesome The Office, 30 Rock and fellow first-time nominee Parks and Recreation. It is a bit of a departure from last year's outstanding comedy series category, which featured multiple cable series in the category including Showtime's Nurse Jackie and HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
STORY: Emmy Snubs and Shockers: 'Big Bang Theory' Actors Rule; 'Fringe,' 'In Treatment' Shut Out
The HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce received the most nominations overall with 21, including a nom in the newly combined miniseries or movie category, where it will face fellow HBO productions Cinema Verite and Too Big to Fail as well as PBS' Downton Abbey, Starz's Pillars of the Earth and The Kennedys, the controversial miniseries that was picked up by the little-watched Reelz Channel after being abruptly dropped by History.
Greg Kinnear and Barry Pepper also received lead actor nominations for their respective roles as John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. They'll compete in the miniseries or movie category with Edgar Ramirez (Sundance Channel's Carlos), Idris Elba (BBC America's Luther), Laurence Fishburne (HBO's Thurgood Marshall biopic Thurgood) and William Hurt (HBO's Too Big to Fail). (Elba also received a guest actor in a comedy series nomination for his turn on Showtime's The Big C.)
STORY: Emmys: Nominations by the Numbers
However, Katie Holmes, who played Jackie Kennedy, did not receive a nom in the lead miniseries actress category for The Kennedys. The nominees are Kate Winslet (Mildred Pierce), Diane Lane (Cinema Verite), Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey), Jean Marsh (PBS' Upstairs Downstairs) and Taraji P. Henson (Lifetime's Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story).
There are many newbie nominees in the acting categories as well. Veteran actress Kathy Bates (NBC's Harry's Law) and Mireille Enos (AMC's The Killing) are first-time nominees for lead drama actress along with Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife), Mariska Hargitay (NBC's Law & Order: SVU) and Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men).
STORY: Emmy Reactions: What the Nominated Stars and Execs Say
As expected, Boardwalk's Steve Buscemi received his first drama series nomination, as did Timothy Olyphant for FX's Justified. They'll compete with Dexter's Michael C. Hall, Friday Night Light's Kyle Chandler, House's oft-nominated Hugh Laurie and Mad Men's Jon Hamm.
The lead comedy actress category features multiple first-time nominees including Laura Linney (The Big C), Melissa McCarthy (CBS' Mike & Molly) and Martha Plimpton (Fox's Raising Hope) as well as returning nominees Tina Fey (30 Rock), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) and Edie Falco (last year's winner for Nurse Jackie).
Johnny Galecki (Big Bang) scored his first nomination for lead comedy actor along with his co-star Jim Parsons (last year's winner in the category), Matt LeBlanc (Showtime's Episodes), Louis C.K. (FX's Louie), Steve Carell (for his final season on The Office) and Alec Baldwin (30 Rock).
STORY: Emmy Nominations 2011: Full List
Betty White snagged a nomination -- the 17th of her career -- for her scene-stealing supporting role in the TV Land comedy Hot in Cleveland. (But she was trumped by Cloris Leachman
Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski (both from The Good Wife) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) again received supporting drama actress nods along with Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire), Margo Martindale (Justified) and Michelle Forbes (The Killing).
Alan Cumming, another scene-stealer, and Josh Charles received supporting drama actor nominations for The Good Wife. They'll compete with Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Walton Goggins (Justified) and returning nominees John Slattery (Mad Men) and Andre Braugher (TNT's Men of a Certain Age).
Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart once again leads the variety, music or comedy series category. The show has won the Emmy eight years in a row. Conan O'Brien (a nominee last year for his truncated tenure on The Tonight Show) scored a nom for TBS' Conan. The rest of the nominees this year are Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher and NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
PBS' Antiques Roadshow, A&E's Hoarders, Bravo's Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, CBS' Undercover Boss and Discovery's Deadliest Catch and MythBusters are the reality nominees. CBS' Amazing Race, ABC's Dancing With the Stars, Lifetime's Project Runway, Bravo's Top Chef and Fox's American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance are the reality competition nominees. Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), Phil Keoghan (Amazing Race), Tom Bergeron (Dancing With the Stars), Cat Deeley (So You Think You Can Dance) and Jeff Probst (Survivor) are the nominees for reality competition host.
With 104 nominations, HBO once again leads the way, followed by CBS (50), NBC, (46), PBS (43), Fox (42), ABC (40), AMC (29) and Showtime (21).

BkiUbfrxK0wg09KOVZwG | We are twenty days into Movember, an annual, international event to raise awareness of men's health issues run by The Movember Foundation. Since the mustache was a quintessential feature of the Edwardian era, I have found some tips from Illustrated book of instruction, the Robinson system of barber colleges (1906) for those of you who would like to give your mustache some Edwardian elegance.
This style of whisker is becoming to most any face, excepting a very short or full face. It is shaven up on the side, from the corner of the mouth straight back to 1 or 1 3/4 inches below the ears. It is trimmed short–about one half inch long on full face and from 1 to 1 1/2 inches on a thin face. With this whisker the mustache should be rolled well up and combed out loose and brushed back, or the curling iron may be used to give it an easy bend.
This style of beard is very becoming to a thin face or to a pointed or narrow chin. It is trimmed 1/2 to 3/4 inch long on the side, according to the full of the face. Gradually increasing in length to 1 1/2 inches at the center of the chin. On the side of the chin clear up to the mustache it is cut to give the chin the proper shape, and trimmed under the jaw to bring it down to a feather edge on the neck and also on the cheek when the beard grows up high and thick. The top of the cheeks and lower part of the neck may be either shaven or clipped, then the edge of the beard featheredged to blend with the shaven edge. The mustache is slightly bent with a curling iron, or with the fingers, then combed or brushed up loosely.
[This] is one of the most popular both in style and comfort. It is very largely worn in hot weather; it gives the profile of the face in a more clear way than most any other style. In addition it is a trim that is easily accomplished by taking care to have the point terminate exactly below the center line of the chin, and the length of the hair gradually diminish to a point nearly opposite the corners of the mouth. From there to the hair line above the ear it should be closely cropped and cleverly blended into the hair line.
Old but stylish and becoming to a tall man and dignifying to the appearance of the wearer, hence suitable to a professional man. This beard runs down to the corner of the mouth and the chin is shaven straight down, a little wider on the neck. It is slightly trimmed at the ears, from the hair down tot he end of the jaw below the ears; then the straggling hairs clipped down to avoid bushiness and the ends of the whiskers trimmed to a point. This should be done twice or three times a month. The hair on the temple should be trimmed down to blend with the whiskers. In dressing this bear, it should be oiled with a little brilliantine, then brushed down from the ears and brushed back from the chin.
« The Flatiron Building and 23 Skidoo!
Ugly to many modern eyes but utterly enchanting to Edwardian eyes. Women must have swooned at their uber-macho, hairy husbands.
But here is a question. If the moustache was a quintessential feature of the Edwardian era, what came before? Did Victorian men tend to prefer clean cut facial features?
Facial hair was popular and fashionable from the 1840s until the 1910s (and until 1916, all British officers were required to wear a mustache). | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdQE5qsJBjuAa50-J | Food Ingredient Production Facilities
Danisco Food
When Grindsted Products (now Danisco) required a major expansion to its existing ingredient production facility to boost output, it called on The Austin Company to provide a turnkey solution.
Square Footage: 305,800 Services Provided:
66,500 - Olathe, KS; 239,300 - New Century, KS
Ingredient Production Facility – Olathe, Kansas
The Austin Company designed, engineered and constructed an advanced facility that enabled Grindsted to reorganize production, increase output of Dimodan – a distilled monoglyceride, and serve the North American market with products previously imported from Denmark.
The project involved adding 63,000 SF of space to an existing process facility, including remodeling existing offices and building a new 3,500 SF process utility building. Danisco is one of the world's largest producers of food ingredients. The company also develops and produces feed ingredients, sweeteners and sugar. Its product portfolio includes emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors, and sweeteners, such as xylitol and fructose.
U.S. Headquarters – New Century, Kansas
Austin provided design-build services to convert an existing warehouse into the 239,300 SF U.S. Headquarters. This new facility houses corporate offices, research and development laboratories, and warehouse/distribution areas. The site constraints were such that expansion could occur only on long, narrow strips of land adjacent to two sides of the existing building. By extending the existing office module along the east and south faces of the warehouse, separate wings for offices and laboratories were created and then joined by a circular structure at the southeast corner.
The architect optimized the plan by emphasizing a transition in scales from the higher dominance of the existing warehouse to the lower human height of the pedestrian approaching from the parking lot, articulating the sense of arrival created by the entrance canopy and minimal vestibule.

Cinnamon Bay is a very popular National Park beach on the north shore of the island of St John, US Virgin Islands, adjacent to the historic Cinnamon Bay Plantation. The shallow, crystal clear water, Sea Grass beds, Coral Reefs and the short distance to Cinnamon Cay make Cinnamon Bay excellent for snorkeling.
Waters are typically calm, however, due to its northern exposure, occasionally swells impact the beach from the Atlantic (locally known as ground seas). Trees, brushes, shrubs and a grassy area line the sandy shoreline. Rocks and a bluff are present along the western and eastern ends of the bay. There are no man made guts, but a 2 small natural guts present along the east end and west end of the beach.
Park Service programs are offered in a small amphitheater (including campfire programs). In addition, a wide range of weekly activities are available at the campground.
There is a restaurant (the T'ree Lizards), restrooms, showers and a small camp store.
A waterfront shop rents snorkeling equipment, sea kayaks, sailboards and small sailboats, and provides lessons as well.
Visit the Cinnamon Bay Archeology Museum & Lab. Recently renovated, this building is one of the oldest still standing, and in use, on St. John. Commonly referred to as the Cinnamon Bay Museum, this space is home to the new Cinnamon Bay Heritage Center & Archeology Lab. It is a working archeology lab and museum with the purpose of preserving the Caribbean's human heritage from prehistory to the present. Volunteers are given the opportunity to participate in an archaeological dig on a pre-Columbian Taino ceremonial site.

Manhattan Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetic patients are often at extra risk when it comes to eye problems. Diabetic patients are more likely to develop glaucoma, cataracts, and are also susceptible to diseases such as diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. People with all types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, and gestational) are at risk for diabetic retinopathy. Risk increases the longer a person has diabetes. 40 to 45 percent of Americans with diabetes have some stage of diabetic retinopathy.
What Causes Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition caused by chronically high blood sugar. This damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina. The retina detects light and converts it to signals sent through the optic nerve to the brain. Diabetic retinopathy causes tiny blood vessels in the retina to leak fluid or bleed, distorting vision. In the most advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy, new abnormal blood vessels begin to grow on the surface of the retina, which can lead to scarring and cell loss in the retina.
Is Diabetic Retinopathy Preventable?
Diabetic retinopathy is preventable with good blood sugar control. Vision lost to diabetic retinopathy is irreversible, but early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of blindness by 95 percent. Because there are often no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, patients with diabetes should have an eye exam every year, where the eye doctor will screen for diabetic retinopathy. This is the only way to diagnose diabetic retinopathy and catch it in its early stages. Some studies show that controlling diabetes slows the worsening of diabetic retinopathy.
What it's like to see with diabetic retinopathy
How is Diabetic Retinopathy Treated?
Diabetic Retinopathy is not curable, but it can be treated to slow progression. Laser treatment is often used to treat diabetic retinopathy. The laser beam can used to create small burns in areas of the retina with abnormal blood vessels to seal the leaks. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and is directed at trying to slow or stop progression.

BkiUdgA4eIXhvb74PkBi | Christian Churches in Australia are having a tough time. Numbers are down, abuse, hypocrisy and prejudice are rife and, as a result, public opinion of Christianity can tend to be critical rather than embracing.
"As Christians, we have had our way for such a long time that we don't even recognise that being criticised isn't really persecution..." I agree with this statement. Everyone is being criticize regardless of what religion they belong to, etc.
Do you think Christians are being persecuted or they are the real bullies?
Losing privilege feels like being bullied, LOL!
Soon Christians will be accepted in the next minority groups into the intersectional circle jerk crowd. Feminists Christians, Muslims and all other minority groups can complain about oppression together.
Wipes out pagans, rules uncontested for 2000 years, faces scrutiny and complains.
As a Christian, I disagree with both your conjectures: we have been wiped out and we have never ruled. That includes the brief period under emperor Constantine when we were tolerated, but then genocide under the Ottoman empire killed millions. 2000 years of being murdered, raped and forcefully converted to Islam has lead to the picture of what the Middle East currently looks like. You don't want the same thing in the western world.
Fair dues. That's no good either. Keep in mind that what you've described also rings true for non-Christians in a Christian society. So I'd suggest the takeaway here is that a dominant and aggressive religion that demands the conversion of non-believers is generally a bad thing. Or put simply, all the Abrahamic religions are rubbish.
Don't forget Islam has always practiced forced conversion, slavery or execution of nonbelievers. They did the exact same things as christians, sometimes better, sometimes worse. And who did it before that? The Israelites. Who did it before that? Probably another religion. China and North Korea persecute ALL religions, is that them imposing their religion? No. People have been imposing on each other for all of time.
Bullies, baby killers, genocidal maniacs, you name it they've done it.
No race or religion can hold their head high. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUdqg5qX_BravVwD7w | Dan Newman, a political spokesman for Brown, said in an email that the "majority of resources being spent" from Brown's campaign account is for Propositions 1 and 2.
There are inextricable ties between the Democratic Party and its top officeholder. Brown, chairman of the party from 1989 to 1991, appeared this week for the first time in a cable TV ad for Democrat Jose Solorio in a heated legislative race in Orange County. He is headlining a fundraiser for the state party's get-out-the-vote effort on Tuesday.
In December, the Brown campaign reported a $25,000 "bonus" payment to Angie Tate, a Democratic fundraiser and chief financial officer of the state party.
Unlike individual donors, political parties can give unlimited amounts of money to statewide candidates, and about 25 donors who have contributed the maximum allowed to Brown – $54,400 – have also given to the party, Brown's single largest benefactor.
Donors who have both maxed out to Brown and given to the party since last year include Blue Shield of California, AT&T California, Indian tribes and labor unions. Some of the donors, such as AT&T and Blue Shield of California, also contributed to the California Republican Party.
In some cases, Brown's maxed-out donors gave to the Democratic governor and his state party on the same day, according to state filings.
For example, the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association gave a pair of $27,200 donations to Brown on Feb. 7, 2014 – the same day it gave $65,000 to the California Democratic Party.
Donors can give an unlimited amount to the state party, but only $34,000 from any one source in a calendar year can be used by the party for state candidate contributions. The practice is permissible as long as donations to political parties are not earmarked for a specific candidate.
"It's a way of maintaining access to the powers that be. That's just the way the game is played," said Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College.

BkiUeGw5qoTDt4TW750m | Belgian Shipwreck: hotspots for Marine Biodiversity
Goals Shipwrecks provide increased habitat complexity, and hence attract and harbour many more species than the relatively homogenous soft substrates in their vicinity. Hard substrates offer an opportunity for sessile epifauna to settle and a refugium from predators for mobile epifauna and nekton. Several wrecks are candidates for the designation of Marine Protected Areas in Belgium. They can be used as a model for other hard substrates, like the foundations of windmills that will be built in the Belgian part of the North Sea in the near future. Wrecks form an impediment to fishing, and provide a model for non-fishing areas. One of the objectives of this study is to compare the soft-bottom fauna of the open areas with the less-intensely trawled bottoms adjacent to the wrecks. Methods Five wrecks located in Belgian waters will be sampled for biotic and abiotic data at different periods of the year. The meiofauna, macrofauna and epifauna of the wrecks will be studied by direct observations, photographs and sampling by divers. Macrofauna in the soft substrates around the wreck will be sampled in situ by S.C.U. B.A. using suction dredger and cores. Slow moving sessile fauna will be sampled by scraping selected quadrats. Small swimming and/or nocturnal fauna will be caught by means of baited traps. Large swimming epifauna will be sampled visually in situ. Density, biomass, and species composition of the benthic communities of the different wrecks will be described, and biodiversity will be estimated. Within each wreck, studies will be conducted in order to compare different factors affecting biodiversity: period of the year (i.e. seasonal effect), orientation of the sampled station (i.e. horizontal and vertical surfaces), depths of the station and other abiotic factors around the wrecks such as water temperature, conductivity, irradiance, currents, turbidity. Historical data sets and mathematical models will also be used. By means of multivariate statistical techniques, the ecological communities of the wrecks will be compared to each other and to those of the surrounding sediments. The species assemblages will also be compared with those of natural and artificial hard substrates in Belgium, northern France and eastern England (both intertidal and subtidal structures: literature survey and input from end-user committee).

BkiUdHk4uBhi9r4Z-Ac_ | Many students have proven for years that poverty is never a hindrance to success. You can find many ways so you can still go to school even if your parents could not afford to send you to school.
Recently, a young man who is proud to announce that he is a scholar of GMA's popular noontime show "Eat Bulaga!" went viral for topping the November 2018 Civil Engineering Board Exams.
Jaydee Niere Lucero graduated from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman. He passed the board exams with a rating of 97.20%, topping the list of over 6,000 exam passers. The board exams for Civil Engineering were held last November 10 and 11, 2018.
Out of 13,887 takers, only 6,262 examinees were able to pass the rigid tests.
After passing the board exams and topping the list of examinees, the new civil engineer posted a heartfelt "thank you" letter to the people who had helped him reach where he is now in life.
First, he thanked Eat Bulaga! for supporting him the past 9 years he spent in school.
"Sa Eat Bulaga, sa pagpapaaral ninyo sa akin (at sa aming mga EBEST scholars) for the past 9 years. Hindi ko marahil mararating ang tagumpay na ito kung hindi dahil sa inyo, thank you po!" Lucero wrote.
The young man also thanked the many people, Facebook groups, and teachers/reviewers who were instrumental to his success.
"Sa UP Diliman, especially sa Institute of Civil Engineering (at sa thesis adviser kong si sir Hernandez) for bringing out the best in us, at sa suporta. Maraming salamat din po!" he wrote.
He also thanked those who let him borrow calculators for the review and board exams as well as those who gave him inspiration throughout his studies and review days. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Hours before he was fatally stabbed Shah had posted a goodwill Easter message on Facebook.
Ahmed was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow where he was told he would serve a minimum of 27 years in jail for the murder.
Judge Lady Rae told Ahmed he was guilty of the "barbaric killing of a peace-loving man".
Following the murder, more than £110,000 was raised in an online campaign for the family of Asad Shah.

BkiUaV3xK6-gDyrT6srw | Located in southeast Asia, Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula bordered by China, Laos and Cambodia with over 2,100 miles of coastline on the South China Sea. Although it is only slightly larger than the state of New Mexico, it is the 13th most populous country in the world with a population of 90.7 million people. Most of the country is covered in mountains and tropical forests leading to a uniquely high level of biodiversity, making it home to an abundance of plants and animals. Vietnam is currently regarded as having one of the world's fastest growing economies. In the past much of the economy centered on rice and bauxite mining but in recent years manufacturing, information technology, high tech industries and oil production have gained dominance. Agriculture still has a significant role with the country being the world's top exporter of cashews and black pepper and second largest for rice and coffee. Unemployment in the country is relatively low at under 5% and there have been great strides in the last several years at lowering the number of people living below the poverty line. Education in the country is not free but their school enrollment is among the highest in the world, which is reflected in the high literacy rate. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUf0g241xiO5MUMYlT | Well, today is one and one half years since my husband's floxing began and I have to tell you it has been hell.
From time to time I think for Joe it gets almost that bad. He stoically holds on, but sometimes he does indeed cry. I am not as good at holding on to my emotions when he loses it and I have, unfortunately, at times lost it right along with him. Of course this doesn't help.
Years ago, when I was still trying to nail down a subject for my dissertation, having just directed a production of Joined at the Head, a play about a woman dying of cancer, I considered a topic studying plays that address disease, both the chronic type and the terminal type. What I was interested in — having only then recently gone through my mother's death from a chronic and terminal disease, Hepatitis C, which she had contracted from a blood transfusion in the mid 1960s — was how the ill person changes the space around them and the ways that all their family, friends and even strangers have to change their lives to accommodate the unwell person. Ultimately, I was talked out of writing that dissertation by my advisors — too depressing — not interesting — not life affirming — basically they didn't want to read it.
Today, I am still interested in this subject — I have lived through those changes so many times – with my father, my mother, a grandparent and an aunt who lived with us for a time, and now my beloved.
This thing – this floxing – this torture – foisted upon us causes us to change our world – rearrange our world – not just the furniture so it is easier to walk through a room or the bedside table, now covered in medications to treat the symptoms and the pain – but everything about who we are, what we do, how we think, even where we live (we've even considered moving out of the cross roads of every front that moves through the USofA – but not for Joe's family – well, who knows).
And all because – as my dear spouse pointed out in abject frustration – because someone paid too much attention to the pharmaceutical rep and not enough attention to him.
We did what we were supposed to do. We told the doctors, nurses, pharmacy techs, phlebotomists, everyone we came in contact with at the hospital, doctor's office and the pharmacies "something is wrong" – and no one – no one paid attention.
I wish I could end this post on an up beat – but today – I'm having a hell of a time just staying level – up is a long way from here.

BkiUbm7xK6-gD0Srbzcm | Roger Stone, a longtime Trump adviser and ally, previously called for Clinton to be "brought to justice - arrested, tried, and executed for murder." Another Trump adviser, Al Baldasaro, has said that Clinton should be "shot for treason"; the Secret Service subsequently investigated him.
A major party nominee suggesting, jokingly or not, that people assassinate their opposing candidate is not funny. It's terrifying.
Tomorrow's spin today: Trump just meant Second Amendment activists should vote against her in November.
So Trump now moving on from suggesting Clinton stealing election to suggesting supporters assassinate her?
No way to spin what Trump said. Suggesting Second Amendment supporters could solve Clinton/ SCOTUS is vile and should be repudiated.
This is beyond the pale, even for Trump.
The timeline of Trump's excuse is way off. He said "if Clinton gets to pick" meaning after she's elected. Not 2A voters voting against her.
So he made a joke about her getting shot. Big deal.
Now that @realDonaldTrump suggested to his followers that they use 2nd amendment 2 stop Clinton, will he be investigated by @SecretService?
Of course Trump was joking, he'd never condone calling for Hillary to be shot dead.
Guys, we don't know for sure Trump was insinuating someone could shoot Clinton. He could "just" have been talking about an armed uprising.
Trump spin says he meant 2nd Amendmenters could stop Clinton's election.
Trump's comments indefensible. As I understand it 16 members of RNC can call emergency meeting to vacate and replace him on ballot. Do it.
Instead, his campaign puts out nonsense garblegook as a response. The correct response is "NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT."

BkiUfWo5qhLBxoxlBmLK | Congratulations Hunter Lane On 1000 Points!
[ Tonight senior basketball player Hunter Lane joined an elite group of athletes who have scored 1000 points in their high school career in Georgetown. This is only the 7th time in the school's history that this feat has been accomplished and Hunter's name will proudly be added to the banner that hangs in the gym for all to see now and in the future. I think the most remarkable thing about Hunter is that he is not only a talented basketball player but he is one of the most hard-working, team oriented and humble players on the team. He is a role model for commitment to the sport, dedication to teamwork, unselfish play and sportsmanship. As a result, he has earned the respect of the coaches, players, parents and anyone else who has had the privilege of watching him play. I thought it was interesting but not surprising that as Hunter was approaching achieving this milestone, his play did not change. He did not change his game and continued to be the player who is focused on the success of his team first and not on himself. We all knew Hunter would achieve this goal at some point in the season but he did it in the same humble and unselfish way he has played throughout his successful high school career and he is not done yet. Hunter and his team have three games remaining and I am sure he will add to his total point count before his name is proudly displayed on that prestigious banner in the gym. I want to personally congratulate Hunter and his family on achieving this milestone. It is clearly reserved for special players who make Georgetown proud and Hunter Lane deserves to be recognized in this elite group of seven 1000 point scorers. He is a fun player to watch and a fine young man and I know he will be successful in whatever he decides to do in his life beyond high school. Way to go Hunter! We are so very proud of you! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

That ring! Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock is engaged
by Kat O'Connor
Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has announced her engagement to footballer Andre Gray. The couple were celebrating their four year anniversary when her beau popped the question.
Andre confirmed the news by sharing a photo of Leigh-Anne showing off her engagement ring, which is too beautiful, and another of the moment he popped the question. It's safe to say the Black Magic singer didn't suspect a thing as she looked as shocked as ever with her head in her hands.
He wrote alongside the photo, "Let the caption speak for itself this time."
A post shared by ANDRE GRAY (@andregray_) on May 28, 2020 at 4:31pm PDT
The singer marked their anniversary with a romantic beach snap. She couldn't help but gush about her beau, "Happy Anniversary baby… how has 4 years gone so fast! All I know is I'm another year more crazy about you. I couldn't love you harder if I tried."
The couple first started dating in 2016.
Huge congratulations to the love birds.
Little Mix star Jesy Nelson reveals trolling led to her suicide attempt
Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has revealed that she attempted suicide in 2013 after constant trolling about her appearance.
The X-Factor winner explained how the pressure and consistent negative comments caught up with her one night in 2013 and she took "as many tablets as I could" to escape it.
Her then-boyfriend realised what Jesy had tried to do and immediately called an ambulance, where Jesy was taken to hospital for treatment.
A post shared by @jesynelson on Sep 9, 2019 at 12:00am PDT
Her new BBC documentary, Jesy Nelson: Odd One Out, she said; "I was sat in bed crying, thinking, 'This is never going to go, I'm going to feel sad for the rest of my life, so what is the point in being here?'
"The only way I can describe the pain is like constantly being heartbroken. I remember going to the kitchen and I just took as many tablets as I could. Then my ex, who was with me at the time, he woke up and was like, 'why are you crying?' I kept saying, 'I just want to die'."
Jesy deleted Twitter since the incident, which she found was a huge breeding ground for ruthlessly vile comments. The 28-year-old has faced criticism for everything you can possibly think of.
A post shared by @jesynelson on Sep 2, 2019 at 2:03am PDT
Jesy told her family and close friends, as well as the rest of Little Mix, what had happened after her suicide attempt six years ago.
In the BBC documentary, which will be available on the iPlayer and will air on BBC One from 12 September, she recalled how the bullying began almost straight away after the X Factor experience;
"I had about 101 Facebook messages in my inbox, and the first one that came up was from some random man, saying: 'You are the ugliest thing I've seen in my life, you do not deserve to be in this girl band. You deserve to die'."
Jesy adds: "The whole world had an opinion on me and they weren't good ones. From the minute those comments started it became one of the worst times of my life."
A post shared by @jesynelson on Jul 30, 2019 at 5:18am PDT
"I wasn't known as one of the singers from Little Mix. I was always known as 'the fat, ugly one'. It literally consumed every part of me."
The star found fame on X Factor in 2011 when she was paired with Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock to form a girl group.
Jesy is hoping that her new documentary will shed light on the impact of social media trolls and mental health. If this story has affected you, please call Samaritans on their hotline: (01) 671 0071

She continued, "Obviously we want to get married. Like I'm more excited to get married than have kids. I've planned every detail of my wedding…the big day. I've been planning it a long time."
They deffo seem to have their minds made up – good luck to their lads.

Little Mix member Leigh-Anne looked picture perfect when out for a night on the tiles this week.
The stunning songstress opted for a very festive two-piece, complete with tassels.
The co-ord was sequin-heavy, with an on trend waffle-mesh top and high neckline.
Pretty Little Thing co-ord €135.00
The Little Mixer was spotted donning this look while out and about in Dublin, after the quadrant performed to a sold out crowd in the 3Arena.
The piece is from Pretty Little Thing, and comes in at €135.00 for the set or €67.50 each as separates.
We'll be adding silver heels and heading out the door to party the night away.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock assaulted by male diner in London restaurant
According to reports which are only emerging today, Leigh-Anne Pinnock was assaulted in a London restaurant at the end of last month.
Police were called to the VQ restaurant after Leigh-Anne Pinnock was subjected to an attack by a man following a night out.

According to reports, Leigh-Anne and a female friend were in the restaurant following a night out in Mayfair's Drama nightclub when an altercation took place between themselves and a male diner.
Speaking to Leigh-Anne and her friend, the man reportedly said: "If my girlfriend was here, you would both feel really intimidated'."
It has been established that the women contradicted this remark in a move which appeared to aggravate the diner, with a source saying: "And then he said something like 'shut up' to Leigh-Anne's friend."
"Leigh-Anne turned around and said, 'Don't say that to her' or 'don't be rude' and he walked around the table and leant into her and gave her a clean slap on the face," the source added.
Letting the natural breathe.. #glorydaysroadtrip
The Little Mix singer was said to have initially laughed off the assault before becoming upset and 'hysterically crying'.
Speaking to The Standard, a spokesperson for The Met confirmed that an incident had indeed taken place in recent weeks.

"Police were called on Monday, 28 November at around 04:50 hours by a woman who stated that a man had threatened to assault her and had assaulted another woman she was with at a restaurant at Great Russell Street, WC1."
"The woman did not require hospital treatment. The suspect made off prior to police arrival. Officers conducted a search of the area and did not locate the suspect."
Leigh-Anne has yet to make a public statement regarding the matter.
Awks! Little Mix star STORMS out of interview after question about EX
When you sing on a track called Shout Out To My Ex, you'd think you'd be prepared to answer questions about, well, your ex.
But apparently for Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock, this is not the case.
During a recent interview with Capital FM DJ Roman Kemp, the 25-year-old pop star grew agitated and stormed out of the studio after being asked if the band needed to clear the song with their former flames.
I will forever live in these thigh highs.. #shoutouttomyex
A photo posted by Leigh-Anne Pinnock (@leigh_love_life) on Oct 16, 2016 at 10:03pm PDT
"If you write a song like this, do you have to speak to all exs?," asked Roman.
While all the girls had a notably awkward response, Leigh-Anne whispered something to Perrie Edwards before turning to the DJ to tell him his question was "inappropriate".
Roman was quick to apologise and attempted to move forward with the conversation but the singer interrupted him and began ranting about being quizzed about her love life.
She said: "It just gets on my nerves when people ask things like that. We're not here to talk about exs."
"I know the song is called that, but talk about how it's a positive thing. Do you know what I mean?"
Leigh-Anne then told her bandmates to continue the interview without her, before walking out of the studio while spurting curse words.
Perrie was quick to cover for her friend by explaining that Leigh-Anne had been "having a bad day".
Thankfully for the mortified DJ the whole thing was a prank as shortly after Leigh-Anne's exit, a full choir invaded the studio to sing Uptown Funk with the girls.

More heartache for Little Mix: star splits from her long-term love
They dated for more than three years, with many friends and family suspecting that an engagement was on the cards.
However, it has now been revealed that Leigh-Anne Pinnock has secretly split from her boyfriend.
She had been dating footballer Jordan Kiffin since early 2013, but The Mirror says she is now very much single.
A source close to the pair exclusively told Mirror Celeb: "They have been having problems for a while and they decided to finally end their relationship."
A second source added: "Yes they have split. It happened a while ago. They grew apart. Leigh has been on the tour for months now, and before that was travelling worldwide with promo for the record.
"All the time apart as just taken its toll. They decided to split – there is no fall out and they are both still friends, and will remain so. They genuinely get on very well."
The 24-year-old star has unfollowed Jordan from her Instagram account. She had also been wearing his initials on a much-loved necklace for some time – a habit which has now ceased.
The pair briefly split a year ago, but afterwards she told fans that things were 'blown out of proportion'.
Perry Edwards, of course, split from Zayn Malik last year and remains single. Jesy Nelson got engaged last summer to Rixton lead singer Jake Roche. Finally, Jade Thirlwall is seeing The Struts rocker Jed Elliot.

BkiUdOjxaKgQL0dMZlJ6 | What makes for a great front desk experience? As someone who has been the face at that desk and the first voice on the phone, it's a combination of empathy and information. I've never had a full-time position where I just sit and wait for people to show up. The front desk person always has other priorities and goals.
People coming in the office don't need to know that, it's not really relevant to them. All they remember is if I helped them when they came in. In much the same way visitors to your website don't know and don't care what your other priorities are, they just care about what you can do for them.
The greeting when you walk through the door is quite important. Friendly and attentive is by far a must. You wouldn't have your front desk person stand at the door and loudly yell at potential clients as they walk in "HEY! We've got a great deal for you, let me show you right now!!!" while blocking their entrance and view. Pop up ads, loud music, animations, and the like, go over about as well.
I think we'd have trouble landing business if when a potential client walked in the door for her first meeting, I shoved a hot cup of coffee down her throat, yanked off her coat, and tossed her into the bathroom. I would certainly ask her if she'd like something to drink, if she'd like to hang up her coat, and if she needed the bathroom, but I let her decide what she needs.

BkiUbPXxK2li-LJsuC4P | Iraq to dismantle Iranian dissident camp by end of 2011
Ali Al-Dabbagh
Iraq says it will go ahead with its earlier plan to quash the activities of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran and will close down the settlement of Iranian dissidents, Camp Ashraf, by the end of 2011
An Iraqi government spokesman, Ali Al-Dabbagh, said the Iraqi government has reaffirmed its commitment to rid Iraq of the PMOI, which the government regards as a "terrorist group".
He said: "The group must be expelled from Iraqi territory by any means, including political and diplomatic and in cooperation with the United Nations and international organizations." He added that officials must also consider where the group's members want to live.
The statement comes after a confrontation between the Iraqi security forces and Camp Ashraf residents last Friday.
Ali Gaiddan, the Commander of Iraqi Ground Forces, confirmed three people died in the incident, which they claim was instigated by camp members.
The PMOI claims more than 30 people were killed and hundreds injured in Friday's incident.
The group has opposed the Iranian government since the early days of the Islamic Republic, taking shelter at Camp Ashraf during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s.
In 2003, with the U.S. invasion of Iraq, U.S. forces took control of the camp and disarmed the residents. In 2009, Americans relinquished control of the camp to the Iraqi government, which has been intent on removing the group from its territory.
The residents fear being deported to Iran, where scores of Iranians have been executed for links to the PMOI. Like Tehran, Washington considers the PMOI to be a terrorist group.
Camp Ashraf was previously attacked by Iraqi security forces last July, when 11 people were killed and more than 500 were wounded.
Human rights organizations have called for an independent investigation of the attacks on Camp Ashraf.

BkiUdhg5qsNCPdvTYp1j | AI in Space: Intelligence Beyond Planet Earth
When speaking of AI in space the first thing that usually comes to most people's mind are science-fiction creations such as HAL 9000, C3PO and the like. Certainly that vision is still far away, nevertheless methods rooted in AI research constantly find more and more exciting applications in areas related to space engineering. For example, we have just recently witnessed the increase in intelligent behaviour implemented on board the two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, that are still exploring the martian surface on our behalf. This workshop, co-organized by the Advanced Concepts Team (www.esa.int/act) of the European Space Agency and the Artificial Intelligence Group (http://www-aig.jpl.nasa.gov/) of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is meant to look at the most recent applications and advances related to artificial intelligence and space, reviewing the current state of the dialogue between the two domains and discussing it's perspectives.
The workshop will be part of the larger IJCAI conference (http://ijcai-11.iiia.csic.es/), dedicated this year to "Integrated and Embedded Artificial Intelligence" and with a focus on artificial intelligence that crosses discipline boundaries within AI, and between AI and other disciplines.
In order to achieve its goals, the workshop will place emphasis on uses of AI in space research, which already are, or may be of particular interest in the future from the space applications point of view, such as:
* Intelligent search and optimization methods in aerospace applications
* Image analysis for Guidance Navigation and Control
* Autonomous exploration of interplanetary and planetary environments
* Implications of emerging AI fields such as Artificial Life or Swarm Intelligence on future space research
* Intelligent algorithms for fault identification, diagnosis and repair
* Multi-agent systems approach and bio-inspired solutions for system design and control
* Advances in machine learning for space applications
* Intelligent interfaces for human-machine interaction
* Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining and presentation of large data sets
The topics covered in this workshop will be of particular interest to scientists involved in space engineering, in Artificial Intelligence, and also to those who work in other, non space-related disciplines, which intersect with the AI. The intention of the workshop organizers is to stimulate the exchange of ideas between these groups, providing the former with new tools, and the latter two with incentive for continuing their research with space applications in mind.

BkiUakHxK2li-LM1PbDm | Shipping disaster that Spain forgot
Court ruling on 2002 oil spill that caused damage estimated at $5bn elicits silence from public and apathy from media.
by Barnaby Phillips
An oil tanker in a poor state of repair runs into difficulties at sea. The authorities of the nearest country refuse to allow it to come into the port.
Neighbouring countries also make it clear they don't want the tanker anywhere near their shores.
Six days later, the tanker sinks, spilling some 60,000 tonnes of oil into the sea.
Fish and bird populations are destroyed, and more than 1,000 beaches are polluted.
Only an enormous effort by volunteers - who spend months clearing up the mess that a feeble government effort could not contain - prevents an even greater disaster.
The total cost of all this damage as estimated in court? More than $5bn.
This is the true story of the Prestige, which sunk off northwest Spain in November 2002.
Eleven years later, a judge in the Galician city of A Coruna gives a long-awaited judgement as to who was responsible for his country's worst ever environmental disaster.
His verdict: nobody was to blame. Not the Greek captain of the Prestige, and not the Spanish government, which turned the stricken ship away.
Ownership tangle
As for the shadowy ownership of the Prestige - well, good luck trying to untangle it. It flew the flag of the Bahamas, was registered in Liberia by an apparently Greek-owned company, was insured in the UK and certified in the US.
I am told that's how international shipping works.
In the evening, I talk to some people in an A Coruna restaurant and ask them what they think of the verdict.
"Disgusting," they say. "It shows that in Spain the powerful people can get away with anything."
So, why, I ask, were there only some 15 people protesting outside the courtroom, given that the judgement was read out on national television for over an hour, and the gist of the judge's decision was obvious long before his conclusion?
They are silent.
Silence too, from much of the world's media.
Newspapers and broadcasters that dedicated big resources to covering the initial oil spill did not bother reporting this trial, or only did so in the most cursory detail.
How quickly we journalists move on from one disaster to another. How rarely we bother to dig deeper, and hold those in power to account.
How often do we go back to the scene of a catastrophe after the initial drama and assess how effective the official response was, and how well aid was managed?
It is something to think about, in these days when we are all transfixed by a new catastrophe on the other side of the world.

BkiUdPQ4uzlh3iJcUx7s | The Honorable David E. Stucki Elected Deputy-President of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates
The Honorable David E. Stucki was elected deputy-president of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates (IAYFJM) during the 2018 World Congress on Justice for Children this week in Paris.
Judge Stucki serves as a representative of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ). and the only U.S. seat in the IAYFJM council, which is comprised of 17 countries. As the deputy-president, Judge Stucki will assist the NCJFCJ in efforts to establish collaboration between nations and international judges, examine links between national and international principles for the protection of youth and their families, and promote the awareness and application of children's rights.
Founded in Brussels in 1928, the IAYFJM represents worldwide efforts to establish links between judges from different countries but also with other international associations working for youth and family protection. It promotes research on international problems facing the operation of the courts and various laws relating to youth and family.
The NCJFCJ's emphasis on international efforts began with the establishment of the International Committee and through association with IAYFJM. This involvement helps advance the NCJFCJ as a leader in juvenile and family law on an international level. The NCJFCJ hosts several international visits a year through the International Visitor Leadership Program, the Meridian International Center, and the Northern Nevada International Center. Last month, the NCJFCJ sent its first international delegation in eight years to Cuba, led by NCJFCJ president Judge Anthony (Tony) Capizzi, for a weeklong opportunity to meet and learn from Cuban counterparts about the challenges and advances of juvenile and family law in Cuba.
"This is a unique global effort to establish links between judges from different countries and promotes research on international problems facing courts relating to youth and families," said Judge Stucki. "The international leaders that comprise the IAYFJM council understand the protection of youth and their families is universal and is at the core of the mission."
The NCJFCJ's membership of more than 1,500 and has representation from Guam, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Germany, Canada, Nigeria, and Australia.
"I am honored to be elected as deputy-president of IAYFJM," said Judge Stucki. "As a long-time member, former president, and representative of the NCJFCJ, our association has helped increase global awareness of the NCJFCJ's continuing efforts to provide judicial officers and courts involved with juvenile, family, and domestic violence cases with the knowledge and skills to improve the lives of the families and children who seek justice."
Judge Stucki served on the Stark County Family Court for 18 years before he retired in 2011. He is the chairman of the Governor's Council on Juvenile Justice and is a past president of the Ohio Association of Juvenile Court Judges. He served as the president of the NCJFCJ from 2013-2014.
"The IAYFJM and the NCJFCJ have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership so it is particularly gratifying that our relationship will deepen through Judge Stucki's election as deputy-president," said Avril Calder, IAYFJM past president. "Judge Stucki will, with his enthusiastic upholding of the rights of children and his undoubted knowledge of the nature of the challenges facing judges, be of benefit to children everywhere."
The World Congress on Justice for Children was held this week at the UNESCO House in Paris. Bringing together judges and other professionals specializing in justice systems for children and their families from all over the world, World Congress participants discussed the latest developments in the field and to enhance coordination to address crucial issues and challenges.

jQuery ->
$(".product_selection").on "change", ->

type: "GET"
dataType: "script"
data:
product_id: $('.product_selection option:selected').val()
and display it using get_product_prices.js.erb
$('.ctn_price_field').val(<%= @product.price %>)
everything is working accept that when I add more than 1 nested field, the jQuery seems to be able to only detect the first nested field and only change the first .ctn_price_field what i would like to accomplish is to generate multiple nested field in this same form and able to change each nested_field:price according to the product selected. Thanks in advance!!
Can anybody help me?
A: You need to run each for that class to access all element associated with same class. Like -
$(".product_selection").each(function() {
// ...
});
And make sure this binding is called after your element is bind in HTML.
Or you can use -
$('.product_selection').change(function(){
// code goes here
});

BkiUbtE4uzlgp9c1ypQM | MAIDEN, N.C. — Chelsea Mills defeated Lori Krueger Covington in the head-to-head final to win the third annual SportsInsurance.com Queens Cup at Little Mountain Lakes near Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, Oct. 7.
Mills, skiing on her home lake, ran 4½ at 38 off, topping Covington's 3 at 38 in the final, and claimed the $2,000 first-place check. The Queens Cup, also sponsored by Race City Marine and the Women's Sports Foundation, was originally scheduled for Sept. 15-16 but was postponed because of Hurricane Florence.
Mills was the No. 1 seed throughout the two rounds of Saturday qualifying and Sunday's Sweet 16. Covington, of Texas, was seeded third throughout and defeated No 2 seed Joy Kelley of Tennessee in the final four, running 1¼ at 38 off to Kelley's 1 at 38.
Mills and Covington are Masters Women skiers, and Kelley skis in the Women 6 age group.
Kelley, 60, represented the mature skiers in the field and held her spot as No. 2 seed through the two qualifying rounds and into the final four. She has been a podium finisher in all three years of the Queens Cup, and also got the skiers fired up with a motivational speech at the Saturday night banquet.
Strong and tough were keywords in her speech Saturday night as she encouraged everyone present to be emotionally, mentally and physically strong.
"Put blinders on. Find a way that works for you and make it happen," Kelley said.
The Queens Cup is for women ages 30 and older, and uses a format that allows all ages to compete on equal footing. The event included five Women 7 skiers (ages 65-69), and four of them made the Sweet 16.
Rounding out the money winners and podium finishers were Trish Burt of Florida in fourth place and Erin Peckham of New York in fifth. The rest of the elite eight were Jennifer Wood of South Carolina in sixth place, legendary Leza Harrison, a Women 7 skier from Florida in seventh, and Marla Lott of Indiana in eighth place.
Among the tournament officials were world record holders Nate Smith of Indiana and Jeff Rodgers of South Carolina, renowned drivers Tommy Harrington and Pat Bloodworth of North Carolina, and P.A. announcer Seth Stisher of South Carolina.
Tournament directors were Jeff Gilbert and Mills, who put countless hours into securing sponsors at every level, putting together gift bags for all skiers and special cash and merchandise awards for the three who ran the highest scores above their averages.
Those three were led by Selena Stowe of North Carolina, who won a Connelly GT-R ski, $300 cash and several gifts from sponsors. The others were Yvonne Austin of Ohio and Ellen Bennett of Florida, who also won cash and prizes.
Skiers came from 10 states: Washington, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Florida, Tennessee and North and South Carolina.

BkiUgKPxK0zjCxh76K2L | The creation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and subsequent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has reinvigorated research on sustainable development. Through exploring the MDGs and SDGs through a sustainability lens, this chapter seeks to explicate the ways in which the SDGs are shaping global environmental governance across different scales. By engaging with debates over the design of the SDGs, this chapter claims that global environmental politics (GEP) scholars can offer a critical perspective regarding what constitutes sustainable development in the Anthropocene and more broadly about participation and rights in the design of policies for both planetary and human well-being. The SDGs, thus, highlight the need for GEP scholars to devise a clear research agenda that can connect the crosscutting global challenges associated with the SDGs to the needs of communities and peoples at the local level through a framework that takes into account human rights and justice. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdtM5ixsDMO6yuZa5 | We all make mistakes in life and unfortunately, it's the only true way to learn. The same goes for our content marketing strategies. The space grows, and simultaneously, so do our mistakes.
Below is a list of what we know hurts brands rather than help them, and how to avoid these four content mistakes in the future.
A strong foundation is needed to achieve a goal, and that strength comes from asking questions before you begin writing your content. First, what are you trying to achieve? Is it quality leads? Is it to engage new buyers and introduce them to your brand? Or is it simply wanting to let the audience know who you are, not what you do? If you can ask and then answer your own questions you have a better chance at providing value and gaining results.
2. Not Providing Quality Content.
Can you list the top 50 burning questions your audience would really like an answer to? If you can't, then you need to find out. Throwing trivial information at them, rather than information they yearn for, will not help to gain their attention or keep them engaged. For example, if you are a bridal shop and you're writing a piece on how to lose weight before the big day, it may not be as effective as if you provide tips on how not to trip down the aisle. Which according to Brides.com is one of the most popular concerns a woman has. Your content marketing strategy should simply answer your customers' questions and most general concerns.
This one is really simple. The more quality content you publish, the more website traffic gained. Hubspot recently reported that brands that published 16+ blog posts per month received about 4.5X more leads than companies that published between 0 – 4 monthly posts.
Content Marketers are not in the business of manipulating their consumers. They know their audience can sniff out a sales pitch instantly. Today, nobody wants to be sold or bombarded with shameless plugs, they want to be educated or entertained. When you provide compelling content, you draw in engagement and social media shares, which is key. So don't be a salesperson, it just doesn't work. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdlY4dbghcmVn2C5e | Ever wanted to learn more about the world but just don't have the time? Check out History 101 for a bitesize snapshot of 10 fascinating subjects and how they have shaped the lives we lead.
Some subjects are fascinating and we would all love to have the time to really delve deeper into them. Of course, that's not always possible and sometimes the highlights are just as informative and entertaining. That's where the documentary series History 101 comes in.
Using archive footage, a narrator, and plenty of images and infographics, this is your bite-size guide to some of the most interesting topics. I say bite-size as each episode is only 22 minutes long. Not enough to become an expert but certainly enough to give you a solid summary of any given issue.
So what can you expect to learn more about on History 101? First up is 'Fast Food', the multi-trillion worldwide industry that has its roots all the way back to when McDonald's opened its first restaurant in 1948. How and why did fast food become so popular and what are the downsides to us munching on the occasional cheeseburger?
We then move on to 'The Space Race' and the battle between the US and Russia to not only sent the first rocket into space but to land a man on the moon. From the origins of NASA to the advancements in technology, just how much money has been spent and what have we learned over the last 70 years.
Other subjects covered in History 101 include 'The Rise of China' which is both very appropriate and frightening in equal measure. There is also 'Plastics' which is one of the more interesting as few of us are even remotely aware of how they were created and just how much of them we use on an annual basis.
Robots, Feminism, Oil & The Middle East, Genetics, AIDS, and Nuclear Power round off the 10 episodes in the series.
It's interesting, informative and easily binged on as you broaden your horizons about the world around you. The narration is excellent but on the downside, some subjects are just too complicated to neatly wrap up in 20 minutes. That means that some 'facts' are not right. There is also a very obvious slant to the left, comparisons that are more 'apples and oranges' than actual comparable events and it is very pro-American – just check out the 'Oil & The Middle East' episode!
That said, its simple presentation does make it more easily digestible and it really does make you think a lot more about the day to day things we all take for granted. Just do a little bit more research and don't take everything you see at its word.

42: Playing In The Sandbox
Hyperspace Theories visits The Dark Side in this month's episode. That's right, Tricia Barr has a new Star Wars book, which just released in French and Spanish language editions.
Before we talk about the book, though, Tricia, B.J., and Kay share our reactions to the latest announcements about the live-action television series for the Disney+ streaming service set to launch next year. Diego Luna returns to play Cassian Andor is a series set prior to the events of Rogue One. Considering Cassian has been in the fight since he was six years old, there's a lot of story potential in his backstory. In addition, Lucasfilm announced the principal cast for The Mandalorian, including Pedro Pascal in the titular role and a variety of other familiar faces.
Each episode, our meta segment is based on the theme of how to speculate wisely about upcoming Star Wars tales. Sometimes that means knowing when to be careful not to draw any big storytelling inferences from material that doesn't warrant it. This month, that idea definitely applies to a tweet from director – and trusted advisor to J.J. Abrams – Ava DuVernay, who tweeted a photograph of her friend Victoria Mahoney, second unit director on Episode IX, in her office at Pinewood Studios. On the wall behind Mahoney is a "mood board" of imagery, most of which has no direct connection to Star Wars – although the picture of Mahoney in a pink fluffy coat and Vader helmet is certainly the centerpiece. The inspiration on the mood board ranges from Patty Shepard in the spaghetti western The Man Called Noon (1973) to a book of portraits by painter Kehinde Wiley. Though it may not tell us any details about Episode IX, the tweet does give us a stronger sense of Mahoney's visual eye and the talent she brings to the film.
Our storytelling segment features Tricia sharing her thoughts about writing The Dark Side, a new title from Hachette Heroes. Written from an in-universe perspective, the book examines the dark side of the Force through the lens of the characters who wield it, including the Sith, fallen Jedi, the Nightsisters of Dathomir, and the Empire's Inquisitors. In addition to movie characters like Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and Count Dooku, the book also addresses characters featured in animation and other stories, such as Asajj Ventress, Mother Talzin, the Seventh Sister, and the extended story of Maul, formerly Darth. Although an English edition has not yet been announced, the French (ISBN 978-2017003809) and Spanish (ISBN 978-8416857418) editions are on sale now.
Our world-building segment spins off from the news of the Cassian Andor television series. We consider how the Star Wars franchise over time has involved a balance between open-ended stories with no inherent conclusion and closed-ended tales constrained, at least to some extent, by known endpoints. The Mandalorian and Episode IX are examples of the former, while the Cassian series and The Queen's Shadow fall into the latter, and some stories, such as Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Resistance, have elements of both. In the first six to seven years of the Disney era, the franchise has leaned heavily on backstory and closed-ended stories. While this makes sense to steer clear of the Sequel Trilogy during its development, we consider the implications for the franchise and the fandom that choice has created.

BkiUatXxK6mkyCfN_zFc | The House of Representatives Thursday approved a bill that would fund most of the federal government through early February — and provides $5.7 billion for President Trump's long-promised border wall — increasing the chances of a partial government shutdown later this week.
Eight Republicans joined all 177 voting Democrats to oppose the measure, which passed 217-185. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is certain to fall short of the 60 votes needed for passage since the chamber's 49 Democrats are against the border wall. That in turn will increase the chances that parts of the federal government will cease operations at midnight Friday. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdEs5qX_BkksYXL07 | Antonio Conte 'Under Police Protection' After Receiving A Bullet In The Post
Nasir Jabbar in Football
Last updated 12:12 PM, Saturday November 16 2019 GMT
Antonio Conte is under police protection after receiving a threatening letter containing a bullet.
Reports in Italy claim the Inter boss was sent an anonymous letter which contained a bullet and a number of threats.
Police are said to be investigating the incident and will test the envelope for fingerprints in a bid to discover the identity of the person.

As a result, Conte has stepped up security at his family home and at the club's training ground. Video surveillance is set to be analysed in case of another delivery.
Extra surveillance cameras will be installed in and around Inter's base.
The understanding is that it could be an attention seeker and the threats are not serious, but both Conte and the club are said to have been warned to be vigilant.
Several political figures in Italy have been sent similar letters through the post including Silvio Berlusconi, the country's former prime minister.
The Italian manager joined Inter in the summer and his team are one point behind Serie A leaders Juventus. From Inter's 12 league games, they've accumulated 31 points.
Inter are also third in their Champions League group, behind Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund as they face a fight to qualify for the last 16.

BkiUfhE5qhDCU1N83ZPN | Division I i ishockey 1951/1952 var den åttonde säsongen med division I som högsta serien inom ishockey i Sverige. Tolv lag deltog i två grupper som spelades som dubbelserier med tio omgångar vardera. I den norra gruppen stred Gävle, Hammarby och AIK om segern. Gävles Godtemplare vann till slut kampen med ett poäng före Hammarby. Nacka lyckades hålla sig kvar i serien på Moras bekostnad. I södra gruppen segrade Södertälje komfortabelt med endast två tappade poäng (som kom i oavgjorda matcher mot Leksand och Djurgården). Leksand överraskade genom att ta tredjeplatsen, men störst förvåning väcktes av att det tidigare storlaget IK Göta åkte ur serien. Efter gruppspelet möttes gruppvinnarna i en seriefinal där södergruppens vinnare, Södertälje SK, vann mot norrgruppsvinnaren Gävle GIK. Svenska mästerskapet ställdes in detta är, på grund av förberedelser inför olympiska vinterspelen 1952 i Oslo.

US-India Relations
Pakistan & India
China-India Relations
Iran - India Relations
Iran - Chabahar Port
In Iran's Chabahar, India seeks leverage point over Pakistan, China By Shi Lancha Source:Global Times Published: 2016-6-5 14:46:55
India - Iran Relations
Ultimately, although formal India-Iran relations are cordial, they remain prickly and ultimately self-serving. India's policy has always been based on hard national security interests, despite all the talk of brotherly relations. What is clear is that the elites in New Delhi do not want to have to choose sides between Tehran and Washington. Indian policy is informed by a hard-nosed realpolitik calculus, but reflects a hope that Washington may one day adopt a modus vivendi with Tehran, at which stage India would position itself to help build bridges between its two partners.
As preeminent political commentator Raja Mohan notes, institutional incompetence may be a major hurdle for New Delhi. While previous international circumstances had made engaging with Iran difficult, India's internal incoherence may produce big concerns. Given India's rather porous track record in delivering promises, internal problems loom large despite a consensus being hammered out with international shareholders. Iran may not always align itself with India's geostrategic goals. China is also crucial to Tehran's core interests.
India's ties to Iran have a Pakistan and Afghanistan dimension as well. India sees Iran as a useful power with which to cooperate to encircle Pakistan, although it recognizes that Tehran aligns with Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir, and has in the past protested India's treatment of Muslims. Iran, desiring Indian business and suffering its own strained relations with Pakistan, appears deliberately to have toned down its earlier comments on Muslims in order to maintain good relations with India. The outcome of both parties' balancing is a politely cordial but shallow commonality of interests.
Iran's importance to India is greatly enhanced by Pakistan's unwillingness to grant transit rights to Indian goods moving to Afghanistan. Helping Afghanistan is a top Indian foreign policy goal. Iran is India's least expensive alternative entry point to reach Afghanistan and Central Asian markets, leading to the Indian commitment to expand the Chabahar port and build roads from there to Afghanistan. However, the MEA has complained that Iran has been less than helpful to India in providing access to Afghanistan and support (supplies and fuel) for India's Afghan reconstruction efforts.
India engaged in a risky balancing act in its Iran policies. While the GOI had no illusions about Iran's nuclear ambitions or support for terrorism, these concerns were subordinate in its foreign policy and economic considerations. New Delhi feared the consequences of being forced to choose between Iran and the US or other western countries if the nuclear standoff escalated. Against this danger, India saw Iran as an enormous actual and potential energy supplier, and a balancing power on Pakistan's opposite border. Thus, Indian policy tries to advance its interests with Tehran, appease the West, and largely ignore looming crises. Iran was long keen to showcase bilateral visits with India to demonstrate that it was fully engaged with the international community.
US concerns with Iran (WMD programs and support for terrorism) remain largely unaddressed in GOI policy-making in part because they are hidden under two levels of neglect from decision makers. First, Iran is the third priority in the MEA division tasked with overseeing the relationships with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Second, Iran's attraction for Indian foreign policy is primarily as a source of oil and natural gas, and not out of any ideological affinity. Iran's role as a gateway to Afghanistan, a neighbor to play off of Pakistan, and a swing state in the Muslim world are also important. Although the GOI acknowledges international worries about Iran's nuclear deceit and support for terrorism, it limited itself in public to anodyne suggestions encouraging Iran to clear up problems through dialogue with the IAEA.
Indian Muslims are suspicious about US intentions regarding Iran and this has effected US relations with the entire Muslim world. While Muslim leaders are eagerly debating (with some accepting easy money from Iran or Saudi Arabia), the Muslim man on the street is largely oblivious.
Iran sees itself as a protector of Shia around the world, including some 13 million in India. The Iranian Embassy is very active in Shia cities like Lucknow. The Iranian Embassy funded a new [2006] Urdu daily "Shahafat" in New Delhi that comes out with anti-US diatribes, and Teheran was already providing lavish funding to "Hindustan," a leading Urdu daily in Mumbai. Most local Muslims view Iran with suspicion and do not want to alienate the Indian government. They are largely content to let the government deal with Iran. While Iran would certainly like to recruit Indian Muslims to its cause, they may find that their money is not well-spent in India.
The UPA came to power promising to improve India's relations with the Muslim world. Domestic opinion continued to influence GOI policy toward Iran. The UPA government derived a significant portion of its support from the Left Front and Congress factions who view Iran as a plucky developing nation holding out against Western imperialism. | commoncrawl | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 |

What's Jewish About Giving?

As Liora, marriage and family therapist, Jewish storyteller, family educator and mother of three, explains, kavod means honor or respect and in Jewish terms, it is not something that must be earned - rather, it is something inherent to us as human beings. We give kavod to each other because it is the right thing to do - and there are some great ways to help kids learn about this.
What's Jewish About Visiting the Sick?
What's Jewish about visiting the sick? Every culture and every kind of person takes care of sick people, right? Well of course! And in Judaism, this is a mitzvah - or commandment! It is said in the Talmud that one should visit "even a hundred times a day" and that "anyone who visits the sick causes them to live." There are lots of ways to fulfill this commandment, and maybe surprisingly, it helps not just the sick person but also the visitor.

BkiUbGI5qg5A50uBvuCz | LASO and MEChA organize Latin American celebrations
Vamos a celebrar!: During Hispanic Heritage week at CLU, MECha and LASO celebrated the richness of Latino culture with the glimpse of many artisan crafts of Hispanic cultures from around the world.
Photos by Jessica Aparicio
Fiestas, lotería and folkloric ballet are just some of the activities that surrounded the Hispanic Heritage Week celebrations at California Lutheran University from Oct. 7-10. The weeklong festivities were organized by various clubs and intended to shed light on Hispanic culture.
The Latino American Student Organization, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan and the Multicultural and International Programs office organized events such as Día de la Raza, Libérate and Fiesta. The events coincided with the last week of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs annually from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.
The first event of the week was Día de la Raza, which is known as Columbus Day in the U.S. The event included a folkloric ballet dance lesson and a talk about the importance of the discovery of America which was hosted by Spanish professor Rafaela Fiore Urizar, who has a PhD. Libérate was the second event of the week and those in attendance were encouraged to liberate themselves from any social, racial or political struggle they found themselves in through music and art.
The third event was a Fiesta that consisted of lotería, which is a Mexican game of chance, prizes and music. The weeklong festivity came to an end with a chapel service honoring Hispanic culture that was held on Oct. 10.
"We just want CLU students to get more about Latin culture and to be aware that October is National Hispanic Heritage Month," said senior Yesenia Ibarra, president of LASO. "Our main agenda is to have them learn more about the culture and to know that we are welcoming to everyone."
Sophomore Justina Posadas, secretary of LASO, said she hoped that the various events would create awareness of the diversity of cultures around campus. Posadas added that the events intended to not only help students express themselves, but also to show them that they are not alone in their struggles with connecting with or embracing their culture.
"It is important to hold these events to give students an opportunity to demonstrate their pride for Hispanic Heritage and to educate students on Hispanic Heritage," Posadas said.
For the second year in a row MEChA was invited to join the Hispanic Heritage Week festivities. The club helped organize Libérate, which included an open mic opportunity for those who wished to sing, recite poetry or speak about their personal struggles.
"We're all not that different," said Marina Alvarez, junior co-president of MEChA. "We can relate to each other at a level that we might not ever expect."
Alvarez said she hoped that those who attended the events were able to learn something about Hispanic culture. Alvarez added that if an open mind and open heart were kept at the events, students would be able to relate to one another much easier.
"We're opening up this campus to some more diverse clubs, to diverse opinions and definitely showing that side of MEChA that incorporates social justice," Alvarez said.
Benjamin Melano, senior political science major, said he decided to go to the Fiesta event because he wanted to learn more about Hispanic culture and the Spanish language.
"We are a very diverse university and I think that every student should have the ability to explore different cultures while at CLU," Melano said. "I wanted to attend as many events I possibly could learn about the Latin culture."

BkiUfN7xK2li-LM1S4dc | Defense Minister: "The Russians offered us the option to purchase S-400 air defense, but we rejected the offer."
Iran's Defense Minister, Hossein Dehghan, said on Saturday that ISIS is now approaching its final breath. "Soon it will be possible to see the fruits of cooperation between Iran and Russia", he said at a press conference.
Dehghan said that the decision to allow the Russian Air Force to operate from Iranian territory to attack targets in Syria, was made following a request from Bashar al-Assad's government in Damascus.
According to Iranian defense minister, Turkey had in the past been one of the main bases of support for ISIS. However, when they saw what was invested was in vain, and that their safety was at risk, Ankara concluded that the organization harms Islam.
"The attacks across Turkey came to force the government in Ankara to support more terrorists," said the Iranian minister. "We have to say that the policy of Turkey and some countries in the region are supporting the Zionist entity."
On another matter, the minister said that Russia has offered Iran the option to purchase the S-400 anti-missile and anti-aircraft system, but the Islamic Republic declared that it has no intention to do so.
"There were a senior level contacts between Iran and Russia regarding the S-300 missile defense system; when the transaction progressed and we canceled the complaint, the Russians offered us the advanced protection system S-400 - but we informed them that we have no plan to purchase this system."
Dehghan also praised the relationship between his country and Russia. "This is a relationship that has become a strategic cooperation," he said.

Cheap Dreams
Release: 15 February 2019 Discover
1. Moon Face
2. Can It Be
3. Stalker
4. Oh My
6. Second Hand Novel
Jan Verstraeten must be one of the most common names in Belgium. You would never associate it with the Disneyesque strings, cinematic indie pop and lo-fi bossanova that make up visual artist and musician Jan Verstraeten's intriguing debut EP 'Cheap Dreams'
Jan Verstraeten never knew how his secret solo project would turn out himself, although he initially had a clear idea. He wanted to make a film, a road movie about an invented 'motor house' - a cross between a motorcycle and a camper - and compose its soundtrack. Things turned out differently. Jan ended up recording an EP instead of shooting a film, though the result of his endeavors is much more than 'just' music. You might call 'Cheap Dreams' Jan Verstraeten's imaginary theme park. It is the one place where all of his passions - music, video and graphics - construct an alternative reality, a place where spectators gladly get lost. In this universe, the music, videos and the artwork Jan abundantly creates are equally as important.
On his debut, jazz, bossa, indie and classical music regularly pay a visit. The album title illustrates how the six tracks were conceived in harsh conditions, with a limited budget. 'Cheap Dreams' is the soundtrack to the working class hero's life. Jan Verstraeten is all about contrasts. Both in his videos and in his tunes he likes to play with light and dark, cold and warm, hope and desperation. He sews and distrusts in one swift movement. This results in comforting music and tumbling imagery that make you realize that inspiration is to be found anywhere, as long as you're willing to see it.

BkiUeabxK3YB9m7__xfF | Florida Lawmakers Strip Phrase "White Supremacy" From Bill Condemning White Supremacy
Amid Anti-Semitic Attacks, Miami Gun Store Offers Free Classes to Jews
Miami Is a Hub for Stolen Art and Artifacts
Michael E. Miller
Michael E. Miller | September 9, 2014 | 8:30am
Two summers ago, Miami was the stage for one of the strangest FBI sting operations on record. On July 17, 2012, undercover agents set up a clandestine deal in a pricey South Beach hotel room. With hidden cameras recording his every move, an unwitting suspect carefully removed the much-coveted object from inside a cardboard tube. Then the cops kicked down the door.But the illicit good wasn't an assault rifle or a brick of Colombian yeyo. It was a stolen painting.
The recovery in Miami of Henri Matisse's Odalisque in Red Pants -- described in our September 4 feature, "Vanishing Point" -- was no fluke, however. Miami may still be maturing as an international cultural capital, but it's long been a black-market boomtown. Dozens of near-priceless pieces of art or antiquities have mysteriously surfaced in Miami, only to be seized by authorities.

"We do know that Miami is a point of entry for a lot of this stuff," says Stephen Urice, a law professor at the University of Miami who studies stolen artifacts.
Husband and Wife Arrested for Stealing $350,000 Worth of Art From Coral Gables Mansion
Why Miami? It's a convenient meeting point for rich Americans, Europeans, and Latinos, and its airport is one of the busiest in the world. But the Matisse case and others suggest Miami is especially fertile ground for furtive deals, whether it's illegal arms or artwork.
"There's a lot of money in South Florida, some of it dirty,'' U.S. Customs spokesman Michael Sheehan told the Miami Herald in 1999. "They know the people will keep it quiet because their money is dirty just like the art is hot.''
The trend began in the '80s, when the city was flush with drug money. In 1982, some South Florida businessmen plotted to hold paintings by Degas, Monet, and Whistler for ransom. If their demands weren't met, they would send the shredded art to the New York Times. Instead, FBI agents posing as museum tour guides took down the gang before it could nab the paintings. During the arrest, the feds found two pieces by Rubens stolen years earlier.
Seven years later, a retired Argentine policeman was apprehended with a stolen Goya in Miami Beach. Another Rubens was found inside a briefcase aboard a flight from Nicaragua. In 1993, a mashup of Marilyn Monroe and Mao Zedong was recovered from Colombian drug smugglers. And in 1999, the FBI found Jacob Jordaens' The Last Supper at a La Quinta Inn in Plantation.
Most common are cases of pre-Columbian artifacts smuggled through Miami, Urice says. In 1982, for instance, customs agents at Miami International Airport found $200,000 worth of Mayan jewelry inside a box marked "garden tools." Six years later, it was ancient Peruvian pottery hidden inside cheap furniture. Perhaps the strangest find was in 1995, when MIA inspectors discovered a solid-gold ceremonial rattle and a mummified head inside a crate, also from Peru. Or maybe it was the shipment of decorated craniums from the same country intercepted at MIA in 2003.
Not all the loot comes from Latin America. In 1991, the FBI found $7 million worth of stolen Irish antiquities -- including the headstone for Saint Dermot's grave -- on a 54-foot sailboat. Eight years later, the feds dug into a crate of fresh fish and found 271 items lifted from the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth in Greece.
The title of South Florida's shadiest seized artifact, however, easily goes to the Egyptian sarcophagus uncovered at MIA in 2008. An American collector had bought the coffin in Spain.

Urice says some oddball collectors with an obsession don't try too hard to find out where their new prize came from. Other times, the stolen art simply becomes currency on Silk Road or other black markets.
"It's like, 'I'll trade my Matisse for some cocaine, and then you give me some arms for my cocaine; I trade those arms for a Picasso...'" Urice says. "Just about everything is for sale."

Laurel Hester and Stacie Andree couldn't be more different. While the former is a highly respected New Jersey police detective with decades of experience in the force, the latter is 20 years younger with less of an established career. Hester's always been cautious about relationships due to her struggles with privacy, but she had no idea how much her life would be thrust into the spotlight when she fell for Andree. The couple had barely settled down in beautiful home, wistfully contemplating their future dreams when Hester was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Not only did Andree face losing the love of her life, but also her home and the life they had built together. Straight couples could get married and leave their spouse with their pension benefits after they'd passed, but this privilege is denied to Hester and Andree simply because they are a same-sex couple. With the support of gay Jewish activist named Steven Goldstein, they put their all into achieving equal rights for everyone.
A true story about love and equality, 'Freeheld' explores the heart-break and determination that went into Hester and Andree's campaign for change in the Ocean County laws. The movie, based on the documentary of the same name by Cynthia Wade, has been directed by Peter Sollett ('Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist', 'Raising Victor Vargas') and written by the Oscar nominated Ron Nyswaner ('The Painted Veil', 'Philadelphia').

BkiUexXxK1yAgWay6Upe | Halloween is boom-season for Laurel Hill Cemetery, with its Gravedigger's Ball gala, RIP 5K Run, and tours drawing on the site's architectural history, beautifyl landscape, and pithy characters. But Laurel Hill is a Philadelphia treasure every day of the year.
John Notman designed Laurel Hill's picturesque landscape as one of the first garden cemeteries 175 years ago. Today Laurel Hill's 78 acres are remarkably beautiful: Its meandering roads and paths are planted with mature trees, and the landscape is dotted with unique art and architecture. Even though Laurel Hill is wedged between Kelly Drive, Ridge Avenue, Fairmount Park and railroad tracks, its perch overlooking Schuylkill feels like a space apart, timeless and serene.
Laurel Hill has less space to inter people these days, so rather than face obsolescence, the cemetery is pursuing a future as Philadelphia's Underground Museum.
Laurel Hill invites people into the cemetery for passive recreation and casual sightseeing, much Victorian-era Philadelphians used the cemetery for picnics and carriage rides. Today, curious visitors will spot specimen trees as well as the names of Philadelphia's well-heeled citizens (think Rittenhouse and Fitler) on grand mausoleums designed by great architects of their day. Visitors can also dig deeper into Philadelphia's past through Laurel Hill's thematic tours, focusing on stories about the cemetery's notorious, forgotten, and accomplished residents. Right now there's even a Harry Kalas exhibit running.
So rather than seeing Laurel Hill as dead space, think of it as a National Historic Landmark, outdoor sculpture garden, arboretum, and place for recreation. As in the Victorian era, Laurel Hill is much a place for the living as for those resting in peace.
Laurel Hill is open daily until 4:30pm, and admission is free.
Laurel Hill's November tours look toward politics with a tour on November 3 of the Mayors of Philadelphia, and on November 6 about Philadelphia's Political Bosses. A Veteran's Day Tour on November 10, and Thanksgiving tour of Philly's notable philanthropists on November 19 round out the month. Ticket prices vary per tour. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdDPxaKgTz-oDrxjW | This three-part class will walk you through the theology of the Old Testament (by Dr. Miles Van Pelt), the Gospels (by Dr.Craig Blomberg), and then Paul and the rest of the New Testament (by Dr. Thomas Schreiner).
As opposed the Systematic Theology, Biblical Theology asks the question of what a particular book, or group of books, teach on different topics, showing emphases of the different parts of Scripture.
Please click on the Charts link under Downloads to access the chart that Dr. Van Pelt refers to in his lectures.
How to explain in 30 seconds the contents and message of the Bible in a way that is meaningful and informative.
The order of the books in Hebrew Bibles is different from the English Old Testament because of the criteria used when putting them together.
The order of the books in the Hebrew Bible helps us understand God's covenant.
The twelve books in the Writings are divided into two groups of six. The first six books are about covenant life. The latter six books are about life in exile.
When the books of the Old Testament are ordered according to canon and covenant, they also correspond to the order of the books in the New Testament.
There is thematic organization through the Old Testament canon and massive correspondence to the arrangement of the books in the New Testament.
Common themes in the synoptic Gospels are the "kingdom of God," and a shift from the "old covenant" to the "new covenant." The ultimate question Jesus asks is will we choose to be a part of his kingdom?
A description of the teachings of Jesus, showing they were in contrast to what was promoted in the culture, as well as how there was continuity to the teachings of the Torah.
Jesus claimed to be God by the titles he used to refer to himself, by what he said and did, and by dying and then coming back to life. The Gospels record that the evidence for the divinity of Jesus was so overwhelming, that even Jews who had a strong tradition in worshiping one God who is a spirit, were compelled to worship Jesus as God, even though he was a man.
The Gospel of Mark focuses on Jesus as miracle worker, prophet and suffering servant. Matthew focuses on Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew includes much of Mark's material as well as some accounts that are unique to Matthew.
The Gospel of Luke has much in common with the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. Luke emphasizes Jesus' compassion for people who were outcasts and writes as a historian, with attention to detail.
John is the most unique of the four Gospels. He emphasizes that Jesus is both fully God and fully man. "Belief" is a key word for John because it means more to him than just mental assent.
Two of the themes Paul emphasizes throughout his epistles are the glory of God in Christ and God being magnified in Christ. Paul preaches to both Jews and Gentiles and emphasizes these truths in a way that each group can understand. He also explains God's call on his life and the authority God has given him to preach the gospel.
The core idea of sin is refusing to honor and praise God. This is in contrast to the central theme in Paul's theology, which is knowing God in Christ. Jesus calls us to acknowledge him as Lord by our words and actions.
The resurrection and ascension of Jesus demonstrated that Jesus is Lord. Philippians 2:6-11 and Colossians 1:15-20 are passages that teach that Jesus is both fully man and fully God. Justification means that God declares the wicked to be righteous. God provides salvation as a free gift so He is exalted because of what He has done.
Election excludes works as a reason for God choosing you. God's calling always results in salvation. God's calling is a tremendous example of his love for you. Paul encourages people to live the Christian life by being filled with the Holy Spirit and to act out of a motivation of love. He addresses baptism, the Lord's Supper, leaders in the church, church discipline and the resurrection. He also emphasizes the importance of persevering to the end.
Paul's letters describe how God desires people in the Church to function in unity and diversity and how the Holy Spirit gives them the power to do it. Paul exhorts people to live their lives in a way that glorifies God. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUdJI5qsJBjm66-zc- | Determination of combinational genetic and environmental risk factors of lifestyle-related disease by using health check-up data obtained from long-term follow-up

Metabolic syndrome or lifestyle-related diseases develop as a result of the interaction between various genetic factors and environmental factors. Based on the health check-up data collected during a longterm follow-up (at least 7 years), we categorized a large sample population (n = 2061 subjects; men = 87%) into 3 groups (case: subjects who developed metabolic syndrome during follow-up; supercontrol: subjects free of lifestyle-related risk components; control: subjects with clinical components similar to those observed in the case subjects before follow-up). A bioinformatics approach was employed to determine the combinational genetic and environmental factors. Two types of prediction datasets were constructed to determine the predictive risk factors to discriminate between (1) case and supercontrol and between (2) case and control groups. By using logistic regression analysis, we found 25 novel risk factor combinations including 66 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 6 environmental factors. Moreover, to search risk factor combinations with high prediction accuracy, we used our Criterion of Detecting Personal Group (CDPG) in this study. We found that the combination of ADIPOR1 (rs1539355) with an environment factor (smoking) was the most significant predictor of metabolic syndrome. Such risk factor combinations, and not genetic risk factors alone, could help to identify the need to modify life style for prevention of metabolic syndrome.

BkiUdYU5qYVBeaTuDNjO | Discussion in 'Clownfish' started by Deonfish, Apr 18, 2018.
I've had my clowns for about 7 months now and they both are about an inch- inch 1/2, they both host a bubble anemone. I just want to know if they are healthy because they have been the same size for a while now. Are they going to remain the same size and just be good friends or will they eventually fight on who gets to be a lady??
How big is the aquarium, what species, and 7 months isn't very long for a fish to grow full size to.
If they have healthy appetites then it's generally a sign that they are doing well. Snowflakes generally max out around 3-3.5 inches but to my knowledge clownfish aren't fast growers. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Cristiano Ronaldo Planning To Build £7 Million Mansion Before He Retires
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world's wealthiest athletes, and the Portuguese superstar has ensured that he will never run out of money, even after he retires. His own commercial initiatives and brand deals are doing exceptionally well, and the forward is proving his value as a business knowledgeable people.
This in no way diminishes his ability as a player, as he is still playing top-flight football in the Premier League at the age of 36. He is the top scorer for Manchester United this season in both the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League.
Ronaldo has reportedly purchased a £7 million plot on the Portuguese Riviera, namely Quinta da Marinha, according to the Daily Mail. According to the story, Ronaldo intends to build a palace on the land and use it as a residence for his family once his career is over.
The Portuguese superstar has always proclaimed his affection for his homeland and expressed his desire to retire there. For his family and his four children, a home on the Portuguese Riviera will be ideal. Furthermore, Ronaldo's partner, Georgina Rodriguez, is expecting for the second time and will give birth to twins next year.
It's not the only house that Ronaldo will have as he already owns a flat in Lisbon, and it's no ordinary apartment. In fact, it is the most expensive flat ever sold in the city, which comes with a gym and an indoor pool.
Ronaldo and his other business ventures
The Manchester United star recently also announced the opening of his new gym in Porto, CR7 Fitness by Crunch. In addition to his gyms, Ronaldo owns a few hotels around the world and also has his own apparel line.
He has a brand deal with Nike and is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. His endorsements don't stop there as brands continue to flock to him with sponsorship deals. Surely, it'll be interesting to see if he becomes the richest athlete on the planet in the coming years.

Death House is the name given to an old row house in the village of Barovia. The house has been burned to the ground many times, only to rise from the ashes time and again-by its own will or that of Strahd. Locals give the building a wide berth for fear of antagonizing the evil spirits believed to haunt it. Celebrate Season 4 with this special event written specifically for the launch of our latest D&D season.
The first D&D Adventurers League module DDAL04-01 Suits of the Mists will have its premiere adventure on Sunday February 7th at Winter Fantasy. The adventure will become available on the Dungeon Masters Guild website on March 1st for everyone to download and play wherever they would like, in homes, stores, conventions, anywhere.
The remaining adventures will become available for general purchase from the Dungeon Masters Guild on the first day the month after they premiere.
Your local Wizards Play Network store will be able to sell Curse of Strahd on March 4th (if they've received it), days before the standard release date of March 15th, 2016.
Revisit the beleagured town of Phlan where the Curse of Strahd starts for the D&D Adventurers League by reading about the Moonsea Mists.
Launch Event: Stores will receive a free PDF of Death House, a location based adventure that is designed to take 12-16 hours of in store play. This PDF can be run anytime after the start of the Curse of Strahd season.
Strange things are afoot in the Moonsea. The factions have called all those willing and able to investigate strange occurrences in the region surrounding Phlan. Dark whispers and unseen terrors lurk in the misty shadows between this world and someplace much more sinister. Unveil the horrors before it is too late! Part one of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
Premiere: Winter Fantasy February 3-7th.
Something strange is afoot within the Quivering Forest. So much so that even the elves of Greenhall have left their homes to seek out help from their newfound neighbors. But, their tales of a strange beast are not earning them any favor; especially among the Vistani, whom the elves suspect is to blame for their ills. Return once more to the Quivering Forest and learn the terrifying truth! Part two of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
The locals are spreading rumors of the emergence of an age-old relic in a remote farming village. Surely you won't be the only one to seek it, but can you afford to not be successful in this mission? And why haven't they claimed it for themselves? Part three of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
A Vistani fortuneteller has called you out by name during the burgomeister's private reading. She raved of an army of the dead, a delicate powder box, and a beautiful yet dangerous woman. Now the burgomeister wants to know why you're more important than he is… Part four of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
The time has come to venture beyond the village of Orașnou and explore the realm of Barovia. However, in your travels, you happen across an unusual tribe of people–distrusted denizens of the Demiplane of Dread. Do the Vistani truly possess the ability to see the future, or is it simple parlor tricks and deceit? Part five of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
Old hatreds die hard, but sometimes it is necessary to set aside petty, personal disagreements for the greater good. The hag, Jeny Greenteeth, is wise and may prove instrumental in the troubles that lay ahead. Your task will not be easy, however, the dark forces of Barovia have agents everywhere, and eyes from beyond the grave no doubt watch your every move. Part six of Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts.
Does your con run at least 10 concurrent tables of D&D Adventurers league at any given time? Then you can apply to host the D&D Epic Reclamation of Phlan. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUc7DxK6wB9mn4-txq | Background. Aim of this paper is to evaluate the safety and the patency rate of the infrapopliteal bypass grafts performed with the great saphenous vein (GSV) with small (<2.5 mm) or large calibre (>5 mm). Patients and methods. Between January 2003 and May 2007, 73 infragenicular bypass with autologus saphenous vein were performed in patients affected by atherosclerotic femoropopliteal disease. In 8 cases a bypass grafts with small saphenous vein (diameter 2.2-2.5 mm) were performed, in 4 cases a bypass with segmental varicose saphenous vein (diameter 5.7-6.4 mm ) were carried out. In 64 cases the bypass was carried out with the reversed technique, in 9 cases with the in situ technique. Results. Thirty day mortality was 3/82 (3.6%) and 30 day cumulative patency rate was 95.1% (78/82) with limb salvage of 96.3% (79/82). All the patients with small diameter vein showed a normal patency at the follow-up and at the duplex scan examination no complications occurred. The mean calibre of the arterialized vein increased to 2.6-3,4 mm at 1 week with maintenance during the follow-up. Patients with varicose vein implanted present a mean dilatation of 6.4-7. 2 mm at 1 week and no dilatative complication were detected at the follow-up. Conclusion. The risk of stenosis, graft thrombosis or aneurismal degeneration doesn't seem to be higher respect normal GSV either for small or for large veins. Large series and longer follow up are mandatory for an extensive clinical application. | c4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUd6U4eIXh4Izb6GLl | What's the Difference Between SEO, SEM, and SMM?
In today's face-paced interactive online world, marketing on the web is increasing in popularity all the time. More and more marketing dollars are being spent in online platforms than ever before. In order to keep up with these trends, it may be a good idea to look into online marketing initiatives rather than other traditional methods. This begs the question: what kind of internet marketing strategies should you employ? What's the difference between SEO, SEM and SMM, anyways?
If you aren't very web-savvy, contact a web marketing company to ask for their suggestions and input. SEO, or search engine optimization, is the process of optimizing your website for certain keywords and key phrases so that your site ranks well within the search engines when someone looks up those keywords. There are many other steps to this process, including off-page optimization and link building, which any SEO company could explain in more depth. Overall SEO is one of the more time-consuming marketing methods online and takes anywhere from 6-8 months to begin ranking a new site for a decent keyword, something you should explain to your clients before taking on new business.
SEM, or search engine marketing, are paid advertisements that show up in a highlighted box at the top of the page when a user conducts a search. Often times these are called PPC ads because the platform charges you per click. In essence you pay for every click generated from the Search Engine and that traffic will go directly to your website so it is essential to have a quality web design in place to attract potential customers and get the most bang for your buck.
SEM marketing can involve more than just PPC ads, there are PPV (Pay-per-view) as well as content network ads often referred to as "Display" network ads. These ads will be much cheaper but you will have access to must wider target audience with potentially better conversion rates as you wont be paying nearly as much as your would for PPC ads.
SMM stands for social media marketing, and could be anything from paid Facebook advertisements to Twitter promotions, but basically involves an internet marketing company telling you how to best leverage your social media platforms for advertising purposes.
This is only a brief description of these services, but if you're interested in online marketing, be sure to talk to some internet marketing professionals—they'll be able to explain in more detail and find the solution that best suits the needs of your business.
Lorne Fade is an Internet search marketer for 9th sphere a local Toronto SEO, web design & marketing firm.
Although organic SEO takes longer to show results, in the end it will be less costly and you will establish a search credibility that you might not establish with PPC. When it comes to choosing the best tactic, it is important to evaluate your specific needs, but be sure to fully understand the differences and how you will maintain your efforts.

Here's some consolation for anyone who's been mauled in the stock market this year: the pummeling your portfolio has taken can offer some benefits next tax season.
It's a strategy called "tax-loss harvesting," and as end-of-year tax planning approaches, financial experts say this stodgy-sounding strategy does not only have to be reserved for the rich.
"Anyone that's a taxpayer and has investment dollars has an opportunity to potentially take advantage of this, especially in a volatile market," said Jonah Gruda, a tax partner in the family wealth services group at Marcum, a national accounting and advisory firm.
The phrase "tax-loss harvesting" might sound daunting to some people, said Frank Newman, portfolio manager at Ally Invest, the brokerage arm of Ally Financial
ALLY,
"'Anyone that's a taxpayer and has investment dollars has an opportunity to potentially take advantage of this, especially in a volatile market.'"
— Jonah Gruda, a tax partner in the family wealth services group at Marcum
But people shouldn't be intimidated by the tax tactic of gathering capital losses to offset gains and reduce taxable income, he said. "It's a great strategy for everyone regardless of account size," Newman said.
Selling at a loss sounds easy enough in this market. Even with a strong October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
is down approximately 12% year to date. The S&P 500
is off more than 19% and the Nasdaq Composite
COMP,
is off more than 29%.
To harness the benefits of tax-loss harvesting, investors need to pick investments for losses and they need to pick when to take those losses (and also not to hop back too soon into the same position because of tax rules). That sounds a lot like an attempt at timing the market — a practice many investing experts say people ought to avoid when working to achieve their longterm goals.
There is a tax aspect and investing aspect to the strategy, Gruda said. "A lot of time, those two goals don't seamless align."
It's been said people shouldn't let the "tax tail" wag the dog when it comes to investments (and the same goes for making major purchases on the basis of tax incentives, like electric vehicles and energy-efficient home improvements).
But the market could prompt many to at least consider the idea of getting some good out of capital loses. Here's a look at some of the finer points of the topic:
Start with the tax rules on capital assets. That includes stocks, bonds, a share of an exchange traded fund, a sliver of cryptocurrency
BTCUSD,
Sell at a profit and the capital gains apply to the difference between the initial basis cost to the owner and sale. For many people, the tax rate will be 15% on long term capital gains, which means the owner held it for at least a year before disposing it.
The 15% rate this year applies to individuals making between $41,676 and $459,750, and for married couples filing jointly, it's $83,351 to $517,200.
Short-term capital gains are bought and sold within a year, so the IRS views the proceeds as ordinary income that gets lumped in with other earnings. It then gets taxed at whichever tax bracket where the person lands.
Sell at a loss and the capital loss applies to the difference between the acquisition price and the sales price. Losses offset gains and then excess losses up to $3,000 can be deducted against income. The remaining losses get carried forward to future years.
Short-term losses first get applied against short-term gains, and long-term losses first offset long-term gains, according to Fidelity Investments. After one type of gain is completely voided out, the remaining loss amount can be applied against the other type of gain, Fidelity said.
For this reason, it's important to start by seeing where short-term losses can counteract short-term gains, which will be subject to a higher tax rate.
There's another starting point, Gruda said. How much would this year's potential tax benefit outweigh the investment benefit of holding the investment and forgoing the strategy?
There's no blanket answer, he said. In some cases it may be too little payoff. In others, it may be a great move. If a taxpayer wagers they will be coming into large capital gains during 2023, or farther on, the carried-forward losses can be a useful tool to deploy.
Still, Uncle Sam is eventually getting a cut on the profits made from appreciating assets. Tax loss harvesting "mitigates and postpones the tax bill. It doesn't eliminate the tax obligation down the road," Gruda said.
Don't get soaked by the wash sale
Even if a person sells at a loss from their brokerage account or IRA, they still might not want to permanently exit a portfolio position. They may want to get back into an investment now at a cheaper cost with room to re-grow.
Just wait a moment, according to the IRS "wash-sale" rule.
The IRS will not count a capital loss if, within 30 days before the sale or within 30 days afterwards, the taxpayer is also buying or acquiring a "substantially identical" investment. The rule applies to investments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds and options – but not cryptocurrency.
The basic trick is just keeping track of the days, Gruda said. He's seen his share of people who lost out on the tax advantages "because they didn't watch the clock."
Another skill is considering what counts as "substantially identical" for the fast-moving investor who sees a buying opportunity either 30 days before or after the day of sale.
An investor could sell a stock and buy an exchange traded fund or mutual fund that contains the stock and not run afoul of the rule, Gruda said. Going the other way, from a mutual fund or ETF containing a stock to a direct stock purchase, also will not trigger the rule, he noted.
Suppose an investor has several investment accounts — perhaps one is a long-term account and the other is more for short-term trades. The rule applies across the accounts, Newman noted. So if one sells and the other buys within 30 days before or after, the wash-sale rule will scrap the capital loss, Newman said.
Buying and selling shares of two different funds tracking the same index within the 30-day period could also cause the wash sale rule to kick in, Newman said. However, a move like selling a piece of an ETF tracking the S&P 500, and then soon buying an ETF tracking the Russell 1000 Index would be OK according to a tutorial from Charles Schwab
SCHW,
"That would preserve your tax break and keep you in the market with about the same asset allocation," an explainer said.
But while someone's eyeing a repurchase and letting the wash-sale window close one place, they may have a chance to start the tax strategy process in a different part of their portfolio. "There's really tax loss harvesting opportunities across a number of different asset classes this year," Newman said.

BkiUdOLxK6Ot9Pm3vTdf | With all the buzz surrounding fashion month, I was inspired to have my own little street style photoshoot. I mean, Toronto isn't exactly the most aesthetically pleasing place right now with all of the snow but I tried to make it fashion haha! It's in order of being the most wearable since we all know that not all street style looks are ones that people would actually wear day-to-day!
My first street style outfit is definitely one of my favourites I've ever worn. I decided to go monochromantic with an off white outfit featuring most items from Storets! It's recently been one of my favourite online stores to shop at and I got the sweater, corduroy overalls and the hair pins from there! Considering it's cold outside, the sheer sleeves on the sweater are obviously not the warmest so I paired it with a gorgeous tweed blazer from SheIn. This jacket is actually really heavy and great quality which is definitely something I'd recommend if you're looking for a nice blazer. Of course, I went with my white pointed ankle boots which instantly make any outfit chic! Since hairpins are all the rage right now, I threw on these gorgeous ones from Storets that were only $6 USD! A lot of people have been showcasing really expensive ones but really, there are so many affordable ones out there!
The next outfit features a really fun burgundy jacket with fur sleeves from SheIn! I was very skeptical about how this would turn out because it's definitely a bit out of my comfort zone. I've worn full out fur coats before and had no issue but this was definitely a more glamorous choice! I decided to pair it with a plain grey turtlneck from Urban Planet and paired it with plaid trousers from Forever21. The colours of the trousers definitely helped tie in the entire outfit together!
The last outfit in my steet style lookbook is definitely one that not everyone would wear. I 100% got quite a number of looks while wearing this in the middle of the street. I decided to wear this plaid coat from Topshop which I've featured before. To make it stand out more (as if the outfit really needed it), I paired it with corduroy pants and bright orange boots that I got recently during the Topshop clearance sale! Again, I wore it with one of my favourite turtlenecks which is an orange one from MUJI!
