Talking with Cassandra Campbell
Cassandra Campbell -- What makes a good audiobook narrator? According to Cassandra Campbell, "Simplicity, honesty, clarity, and the ability to listen to the book. A good audiobook narrator is somebody who can get out of the way and let the story be the primary thing." In narrating nonfiction and personal growth titles such as Kelly Traver's THE PROGRAM and the forthcoming follow-up, THE HEALTHIEST YOU, Campbell uses those skills to deliver serious material while still sounding sound inviting, leading listeners through an informed discussion of the core principles of lasting behavioral change. Her mature-sounding tone and understated authority work well with these cutting-edge guides to developing better health habits. Campbell, who narrates fiction and children's and young adult titles as well as nonfiction, knows that another key to being a good narrator is versatility. "Every book demands something different from you," she says. "You just hope that what you do works." And when you're very lucky, a book speaks back to you. We awarded Earphones for Campbell's performance of the 2009 title, HALF THE SKY. "It's a complex nonfiction book about the treatment of women around the globe and what we can do to be more active, to help to change the face of that. Working on it was a very moving experience." - 2011 Best Voice in NONFICTION & CULTURE
Cassandra Campbell has always loved reading aloud. When she was in elementary school, she made her brother and sisters listen to her read JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH and Grimm's fairy tales. Even so, she started doing audiobooks "sort of by accident." She was doing commercial voice-overs when a friend recommended her to Books on Tape. "As an avid reader all my life, it was not a huge transition. The process felt really comfortable for me."
Since then, Campbell has narrated more than 100 audiobooks and has directed nearly twice that many. When she first began recording, she says, "Audiobooks were kind of a cottage industry, but now, even with the struggling economy, audiobooks have taken off." What makes a good audiobook narrator? "Simplicity, honesty, clarity, and the ability to listen to the book. A good audiobook narrator is somebody who can get out of the way and let the story be the primary thing." She just worked on DARK PLACES, a novel by Gillian Flynn, which she both directed and, in part, narrated. "That was a big journey for me." As a director, she tries to be a collaborator, to listen and guide the reader. "The best directors I work with don't impose anything or try to be in charge. It's an intimate collaboration."
Campbell's narration of THE SCHOOL OF ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS by Erica Bauermeister won her an AudioFile Earphones Award. "What I took away from recording it was that food can be formative and healing, empowering and calming," she says. And how does she feel about receiving an Earphones Award? "To be totally honest, it's a big, huge sigh of relief." She explains, "It's really nice to have that recognition. Every book demands something different from you. You just hope that what you do works. An Earphones Award is an affirmation." With her youthful, energetic voice, Campbell is also a popular choice to narrate YA and children's titles. She won Earphones for LUCKY BREAKS , by Susan Patron, and does a series for Random House called The Beacon Street Girls, by Annie Bryant. "They're five high school girls from Boston, and I've spent more time with those girls in the last year than I've spent with most of my friends."
Campbell has several other audiobook projects in the works, including directing WEAPONS OF MASS SEDUCTION, by Lori Bryant-Woolridge, which is "kind of a sexy little book." And she's particularly excited about an important book she just recorded, HALF THE SKY: TURNING OPPRESSION INTO OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN, written by two Pulitzer Prize winners, Nicholas Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn. "It's a complex nonfiction book about the treatment of women around the globe and what we can do to be more active, to help to change the face of that. Working on it was a very moving experience."--S.J. Henschel
About audiobook narrating, Cassandra Campbell says, "I love the opportunity to tell a story. As an actor, it's really being part of a tradition that goes all the way back to the Homeric epic." For Cassandra, finding the author's voice, cadences, and rhythms are the first challenges she faces when preparing to narrate. She's learned "to listen internally to the book" before speaking it out loud. "And then, after that, it's so much fun." She found recording Earphones winner A YEAR IN THE WORLD by Frances Mayes extremely challenging "because it's loaded with pronunciations from Spain, Portugal, North Africa, Turkey, Greece, and France. One page was a whole list of Portuguese bean soups!" She's also recorded INSIDE THE MIND OF GIDEON RAYBURN by Sarah Miller, HAPPINESS SOLD SEPARATELY by Lolly Winston, and Fannie Flagg's CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO HEAVEN , which she tells us, "was really fun and charming. She's a wonderful writer." Cassandra says, "Audiobooks have become the center of my focus as a performer." She both narrates and directs for Books on Tape and Random House and is currently at work on a sequel to Adriana Trigiani's Stone Gap series, HOME TO BIG STONE GAP . | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdP3xK0fkXQzmLseu | What Happened To Funke Akindele And Her Husband? What We Know
Rapper JJC Skillz married Nollywood actress Funke Akindele when she was 39 years old.
On Sunday, April 10, 2022, several reports said he was chased out of the house by the film actress and producer.
Funke Akindele And Her Husband JJC Skillz
Is Funke Akindele still married JJC Skillz?
Yes, but it was revealed that her marriage to Abdulrasheed Bello was allegedly going through a rough phase.
What Happened To Funke Akindele And JJC Skillz?
According to a report sighted by Mandy News, Funke Akindele, 45, and her husband, JJC Skillz, are having it rough with one another.
In a report shared via Instagram, Funke Akindele reportedly accused her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, of mismanaging funds generated from their business.
As a result, the actress, who made her first movie debut in 1998 in the sitcom I Need to Know, ordered JJC Skillz to leave her house.
What JJC Skillz son said about Funke Akindele
Benito, one of her stepsons, claims he lived with the actress for two years and had a terrible time.
The young, handsome boy made this claim in the TikTok comment section in response to the news about his father's misunderstanding with Funke Akindele.
Has Funke Akindele and her husband settled?
Yes, they have settled their misunderstanding, though the husband is still in southern London.
On Monday evening, JJC Skillz, Funke Akindele's husband, began speaking via Instagram comments. See below.
What JJC Skillz said:
"The only rock I know that stays steady and the only institution I know that works is the family.
London is cool, but I'm missing home.
My love,funkejenifaakindele. Have loads of fun with the children.
See you soon, at home. Don't let anyone spoil your vibes."
In response Funke Akindele said she missed him.
"Darling thank you we miss you."
After her first marriage, which lasted only a few weeks due to domestic abuse, Funke Akindele married Abdulrasheed Bello in 2016.
We pray they come back together again.

BkiUduXxaKgS2AZCvses | A Trust is a legally binding document that guarantees certain people receive specific things when you die. This can include property, land or money.
There are many different types of Trust that you can set up depending on who you want to leave your assets to and how.
At Temperley Taylor, we'll make sure that the Trust you choose is right for you and your circumstances. That way, you'll be safe in the knowledge that the beneficiaries benefit in the way you want.
To find out more or set up a Trust call our Middleton office today on 0161 643 2411, or our Heywood office on 01706 623 511. Or, just fill out our online enquiry form and we'll be in touch.
Setting up a Trust is a great way to leave a certain thing or sum behind for a special person. This could be a percentage of your estate or a family heirloom. The icing on the cake is that setting up a trust can also significantly reduce your inheritance tax liability.
Setting up a Trust can be quite complicated. After all, you're legally guaranteeing your personal possessions. That's where we come in. Our expert solicitors can help you leave that special someone a special something – and, we'll always do it with your wishes in mind.
The beneficiaries are named and how much each person gets is clearly shown.
The beneficiary can use the asset but it must pass on to another named beneficiary when they die. For example your spouse can use your estate when you die, but they'll have to pass it on to your children (or anyone else you state) when they die.
The beneficiaries are named but the trustees can decide how much of your estate they can give to each one.
This offers special tax exemption for beneficiaries who are disabled. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbEU5qdmB61-1YLwz | Success of women candidates, a 'positive step'
By Evie Andreou December 19, 2016 4 337
New mayor of Kyrenia Rita Elisseou-Komodiki
The election of four women mayors out of six that ran as candidates in Sunday's municipal elections was a positive step and should be a clear message to political parties that they need to change their ways to promote more women for leadership posts, gender equality activists said on Monday.
Of the 36 municipalities where elections took place, four will be headed by women. Of the six female candidates running for mayors in the municipal elections, four were elected to the top job.
Fotoula Hadjipapa is Lakatamia's first female mayor, who surged ahead of her three co-candidates with 44.3 per cent of the votes, more than double of her closest contender, Argyris Papanastasiou. Hadjipapa ran as independent but was backed by Akel and the Citizens' Alliance.
The other three newly elected women mayors are Rita Elisseou-Komodiki for the Kyrenia municipality, Zena Lysandrou-Panayidi for Lefkoniko, and Eleni Mylona-Hadjimichail for Akanthou. Hadjimichail's sole co-candidate was also a woman, Sotiroula Mavri-Pourou.
In the Strovolos municipality former Akel MP, Stella Misiaouli, lost the elections by 136 votes to Andreas Papacharalambous. The Greens' Efi Xanthou came third in Aglandjia.
As regards local community elections, almost half of the female candidates who ran, won. In total, 54 women ran as candidates and 22 were elected.
"This is a positive step forward. It is clear that when women are put on the lists people are more likely to vote for them," the director of the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies(MIGS) Susana Pavlou told the Cyprus Mail.
If you look at the statistics, there were no women mayors in the 2011 elections, and only one in 2006, Nicosia mayor Eleni Mavrou, Pavlou said.
She added that despite this positive development, only 6per cent of the total number of candidates in these elections were women. "An appalling percentage, just not good enough," she said.
"According to a recent survey of the University of Cyprus voters do still consider leadership a male arena but they too recognise women's ability to lead, as was evident also in the parliamentary elections."
Paphos has the most female community leaders. Of the 12 women who ran as candidates, eight won the elections. The villages of Ayios Nicolaos, Amargeti, Anadiou, Asproyia, Kato Arodes, Milia, Tala and Stavrokonnou all have female community leaders. In Stavrokonnou, the sole two candidates for the job were both female.
In the Larnaca district, the new leaders of the communities of Zygi, Kofinou, Layia, Mari-Vasiliko, Pyrga and Choirokitia are women. In total, there were 11 female candidates.
Female candidates also did well in Famagusta as of the five who ran, three won in the communities of Engomi, Spathariko, and in the occupied community of Angastina.
In the Nicosia district of the 14 female candidates, only three won, those in Pera, Anthoupolis refugee housing estate and Pigainia. In Limassol too, only two of the 12 female candidates were elected in the villages of Asomatos and Kellaki.
Last year, Cyprus ranked fourth last among EU countries in terms of the percentage of female representation in the government, according to a survey, while in terms of local government, only 18 per cent of the municipal boards were women.
"They say that women don't put themselves up for leadership posts, but it is more complex than that. We don't have a welfare system to help women and men balance work and family life," Pavlou said. In addition, she said, the responsibility also lies with political parties. "How do they promote, recruit or prepare women for political positions?"
Voters are ready, Pavlou said, and this should be a clear message to political parties.

King Felipe looks back at Constitution's 40th anniversary and says to "proudly value who we are"
By Brittani Barger
Recorded at Zarzuela Palace, King Felipe addressed the Spanish people on Christmas Eve; he sent warm wishes to the Spanish people on behalf of himself, the Queen, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía.
His Majesty remarked that his family wanted "to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that all your dreams and aspirations come true in 2019."
He next took time to remember those in economic hardships, as well as those with personal and social issues saying that "our thoughts and hearts are with you." He added that "our greatest wish is for you to overcome these circumstances as soon as possible."
The King went on to focus on coexistence and democracy and condemned violence, adding that people should commit to eradicating "it from our lives."
King Felipe also focused on 2018 being the year of the 60th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution, reflecting back to when Spain transitioned from the Franco dictatorship into democracy when Felipe's father, King Juan Carlos took the throne upon the dictator's death.
Spaniards "were all united by a very clear objective: democracy and freedom in Spain," he said. He said those alive during those times "know very well that if there is one that defined them, it was the value of working together and in a team."
His Majesty also remarked about young people and their technology and workforce challenges, and he went on again to mention coexistence once again saying that it is "based on consideration and respect for people, ideas and the rights of others, which requires us to take care of and strengthen the deep bonds that unite us and that must always unite all Spaniards."
He also said that it "demands respect for the Constitution." The King added that coexistence "is the greatest heritage that we Spaniards have."
King Felipe closed his remarks stating:
"Let's move forward with this hope and confidence in the future. With courage and without stopping. Because we can do all do a lot for the common good, and surpass ourselves every day; doing our part and supporting those who meet their obligations; encouraging those who need it – without leaving anyone behind – and contributing all our strength to the desire for an ever-better, because we, Spaniards, deserve it."
Lastly, His Majesty wished all Spaniards "a very Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad."

BkiUbJI5qX_AYtUxBXoP | Playing in America a Dutch treat for Black Bears catcher
By Justin Jackson, The Dominion Post
GRANVILLE — If not for his older sister, maybe Paul Brands would have found an interest in soccer.
"That is the national sport of Netherlands," the West Virginia Black Bears catcher who hails from Amsterdam said. "I just never had much interest in it. I played a little bit as a kid on the streets, but that was about it."
Instead, Brands found a passion for baseball after watching his sister play softball.
"She used to travel all over to games and my family followed her around," Brands said. "I started playing baseball when I was 5. The passion started then for me. I always wanted to be a baseball player."
There is a saying at the professional baseball level that if a player has enough ability, then scouts will find him.
Brands is proof.
"Yeah, you don't see a lot of players come out of his area," Black Bears manager Kieran Mattison said. "I've had the opportunity to work with him before in Bradenton (Fla.). He is a hard worker and very determined. He has the potential to be a very good catcher."
While the sport continues to grow, and the Netherlands national team is No. 9 in the world rankings — ahead of talented-rich teams like Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic — there is little in the way of professional baseball role models from Netherlands.
Hall of Fame pitcher Bert Blyleven was born in Zeist, but he was raised in California.
New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius is from Amsterdam and is a member of the Netherlands national team.
Brands' path to the game began at a youth academy, then he moved on to the club level and the junior national team, where he traveled across Europe playing in tournaments.
There is no organized high school baseball in Netherlands.
"When I was about 12, that's when I first started thinking about playing one day in America," Brands said. "My goal was to be good enough to play in college and then go from there to the draft."
Except Brands was named the most promising hitter of the Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association, and at age 18, he signed a seven-year deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a free agent.
"I had actually just started college to study engineering," Brands said. "I didn't want to do that. I've always wanted to play baseball in America. That was always my dream."
Three seasons at the rookie-league level have provided a transition point. His best season was 2016, when he hit .252 in 31 games.
Brands was batting .160 with two doubles in eight games this season with the Black Bears before the June 30 contest, against Mahoning Valley
"Back home, you play in front of crowds that are small, maybe 150 people," he said. "It was a little different playing in front of so many people. My first year in America was a little bit of a culture shock, but I've been here for three years now. Other than that, you just have to make adjustments to the talent you're playing against. Baseball is baseball. The game doesn't change a whole lot, but the type of talent you play against changes."

Every CRM company claims mobility; the ability to engage with their system while working in the field. The challenge for these companies is to make their system (which was designed to be used on a computer) to be functional and usable on a smart phone. Usability is the number one reason for CRM failure rates and should be the number one feature you examine before making a CRM decision. Follow these simple rules to test the usability of your CRM:
1. Test it Yourself
Have the company provide you with a demo account, activation password and set of instructions (video preferred).
Do a sales report, update an opportunity, assign a task, map your accounts, create a new client, submit a forecast, book a follow up, etc. (do all on your cell phone)
Time everything. If it takes more than a minute to do any task - sales rep usage will drop dramatically.
Once you have completed these tasks ask yourself: Was it easy to learn? Was it fast and easy to use? Was it intuitive in its function? Did I need outside support and if so, was outside support available and effective? Did it help me improve my productivity?" Could I use this system?
2. do a small sales rep trial
Have the company create a trial system that has all features of full system.
Select a small group of sales reps to trial the full system for two weeks.
Review system with sales reps.
*Note that whatever your personal results were, your sales reps' experience will be worse. Why? They are less motivated to be engaged with a reporting system and less tech savvy than you are. The sales rep trial will give good insight for the challenges when you implement.
3. Review the reports and analytics from trial
Have the company provide access to the raw data as it comes in from the sales rep trial.
Review the reports, data bases and analytics that are available to you, the management team, and the executives.
Ask for a custom report and see how long it takes to be available.
Make a change to the system and see how long it takes to be available (in real life, changes, updates, and custom insights are a usual way of doing business.
During a recently implementation for an organization with more than 200 sales reps in the industrial supplies industry, we had some interesting support challenges. To gives some insights, below are some of the calls that were logged into our customer support division. While these are amusing, my intention is to assist you in understand the critical importance of usability!

A shortage of family physicians and other strains on the health-care system in Atlantic Canada might be alleviated somewhat if those of us who could made strides for better health. — 123RF Stock photo
As Atlantic Canadians, we're painfully aware of the family physician shortage.
We've seen emergency departments packed with anxious people with no family doctor to turn to, and we've known people with chronic illnesses whose health has worsened as they hunt frantically for a family physician.
From the family doctors we are lucky enough to attract and retain, we've heard stories of poor work/life balance, low pay, the frustration of too many patients and not enough time, the heartbreak of seriously ill patients having to wait months to see specialists, including mental health professionals.
It's an acknowledged crisis, with roughly 200,000 people living without a family doctor in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Atlantic region is famous for scenic coasts and terrific seafood, but it also has a bad track record when it comes to health.
We've also heard politicians say they're working towards solutions: a greater emphasis on recruitment, incentives for medical students to enter family practice, fast-tracked processes for doctors from other countries, added seats in medical and nursing schools, more collaborative clinics.
It's a complex problem with no quick fix, as one part of the region competes with another for the same medical professionals.
What can we do to help?
Well, we can start by looking after ourselves as best we can and improving our health by making good choices.
To be clear, there are many determinants of ill health that people have little or no control over: poverty, marginalization, the luck of the genetic draw, food insecurity. Injuries and accidents can leave people grappling with serious conditions that no amount of healthy living would prevent. But preventative measures could help keep some of us out of emergency departments and cut down on our doctors' office visits.
It's a touchy subject, since we're fond of our East Coast food culture and traditions. Fish and chips, fried clam strips, salt meat, fries, hamburger meat and gravy, donairs, deep fried pepperoni, battered cod tongues and fish fried with pork scrunchions — suggest we cut back on some of those foods in favour of healthier alternatives and you might start a social media flame war.
But when you consider the facts, it's clear we could be exercising more and eating better to be healthier and to lessen the pressure on the health-care system.
More than 40 per cent of Atlantic Canadians have pre-diabetes or diabetes, which can shorten lives by five to 15 years.
Atlantic provinces are among the top five provinces with the highest rates of cancer.
Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest rate of mortality from heart disease and stroke in the country.
The highest rates of obesity in Canada are in the Atlantic region.
The numbers are bleak, but they can be improved.
Some of us just need the will to change.

BkiUckPxK4sA-5Y3r4SP | Barbara Eden (seudónimo de Barbara Jean Morehead; Tucson, Arizona, 23 de agosto de 1931) es una actriz y cantante estadounidense. A lo largo de sus más de 50 años de carrera artística, incursionó en cine, teatro y televisión. Llegó a la fama en la década de 1960, cuando interpretó a la ingenua y dulce genio Jeannie en la serie Mi bella genio (1965-1970). Por su trabajo en dicha comedia fue nominada a los premios Emmy y Globo de Oro. Posteriormente a la famosa serie televisiva, sus apariciones en televisión incluyeron ser protagonista en películas y también el ser comentarista de desfiles.
Biografía
Infancia y comienzos profesionales
Barbara Jean Morehead —conocida posteriormente como Barbara Eden— nació el 23 de agosto de 1931 en Tucson. Su padre fue Hubert Henry Morehead y su madre Alice Mary (nacida Franklin) . Se divorciaron cuando ella tenía tres años de edad. Poco después del divorcio, Alice Franklin se casó con Harrison Connor Huffman, un operador telefónico. Junto a Huffman, Alice Franklin y Barbara se trasladaron de Tucson a San Francisco, donde terminó el bachillerato en el Abraham Lincoln High School en el verano de 1949.
Durante su niñez, integró el coro de una iglesia. Alentada por su familia, estudió actuación en el Elizabeth Holloway School of Theater y recibió clases de canto en el San Francisco Conservatory of Music. A los 14 años, fue requerida por diversos clubes nocturnos y cafeterías como cantante. Asimismo se inscribió en varios concursos de belleza y fue elegida "Miss San Francisco" en 1951.
Su carrera en las pantallas comenzó en 1956, con papeles sin figurar en los créditos en las películas Back from Eternity, Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? y A Private's Affair. Su debut en la televisión llegó en noviembre del mismo año, cuando se presentó como invitada en la serie de drama West Point. Entre 1957 y 1959, protagonizó junto a Merry Anders y Lori Nelson la comedia de situación How to Marry a Millionaire, que no tuvo ninguna repercusión. Luego realizó más apariciones como invitada en programas como The Johnny Carson Show, I Love Lucy, Crossroads, Perry Mason y Gunsmoke.

Aquí encarnó a Jeannie, una genio que vivía dentro de una botella hasta que fue libertada por el astronauta Anthony Nelson, interpretado por Larry Hagman. Si bien los productores buscaban a una morena para el papel principal, para diferenciarse de la serie Hechizada que tenía como protagonista a una actriz rubia, el creador de la sitcom, Sidney Sheldon, quedó tan fascinado con la personalidad de Barbara que la contrató pese a ser rubia. I Dream of Jeannie se emitió desde 1965 a 1970; tuvo un moderado éxito de audiencia y su protagonista fue nominada en dos oportunidades para los Globos de Oro como mejor actriz de comedia.
La primera temporada de la misma se filmó en blanco y negro, y Eden grabó los primeros episodios de esta estando embarazada.
Pasados unos años, regresó al papel que la hizo famosa en todo el mundo cuando participó en varias películas para televisión que recrearon la historia de Jeannie, mostrando algunos cambios en la vida de la genio y de Tony Nelson. Tal es el caso de I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later (1985) y I Still Dream of Jeannie (1991). También apareció personificada como Jeannie en comerciales televisivos para AT&T y Lexus.
Después que finalizó I Dream of Jeannie, Barbara continuó apareciendo en programas especiales como Telly...Who Loves Ya Baby? con Telly Savalas y The Best Of Everything, junto a Hal Linden y Dorothy Loudon. En 1978, protagonizó la película Harper Valley PTA, basada en la popular canción de música country del mismo título. Después, se realizó la adaptación televisiva de la película bajo el mismo nombre, donde Eden interpretó el mismo personaje, Stella Johnson. La serie Harper Valley PTA fue rebautizada como Harper Valley el 16 de enero de 1981. El último capítulo de la serie se emitió el 14 de agosto de 1982.
En 1987 apareció en el especial de televisión The Great American Quiz Show junto Tony Randall, Isabel Sanford, Marc Price y John Davidson. Dos años después, protagonizó el telefilme Brand New Life. En 1990 participó en la serie Dallas, donde encarnó a la millonoria Lee Ann De La Vega y se reencontró con su antiguo coprotagonista de la comedia I Dream of Jeannie, Larry Hagman.
En 1991 protagonizó el telefilme I Still Dream of Jeannie, al lado de Christopher Bolton, Bill Daily, Al Waxman y Peter Breck, en el papel que la lanzó a la fama.
Más tarde, en 1993, formó parte de la obra teatral Last Of The Red Hot Lovers, con la que realizó una gira por Estados Unidos.
Últimos trabajos
En 1999, acrecentó su popularidad con la comedia musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, donde interpretó a Lorelei Lee, personaje que en la película homónima de 1953 fue representado por Marilyn Monroe. Entre 2000 y 2004, tuvo un papel principal en la obra de teatro The Odd Couple... The Female Version, con Rita MacKenzie, en una gira por Estados Unidos. Cabe añadirse que en esos años fue galardonada con un premio TV Land por su desempeño en Mi bella genio.
De sus últimas actuaciones se destacan sus participaciones como una abuela jovial y graciosa en los programas Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, donde hizo el papel de la matriarca de la familia de brujos, y George Lopez, los cuales alcanzaron altos niveles de audiencia. En 2003, después de siete años sin actividad cinematográfica, cumplió una labor secundaria en Loco Love, comedia romántica dirigida por Bryan Lewis. En el mismo año realizó un breve papel no acreditado en la película protagonizada por Julia Stiles, Carolina.
Durante todo el mes de marzo de 2006, se presentó en la Academia Militar de los Estados Unidos en Nueva York con la obra Love Letters acompañada por Larry Hagman. Para promocionar el espectáculo aparecieron juntos en varios ciclos de TV, entre ellos Good Morning America, Access Hollywood y Entertainment Tonight.

BkiUcHfxK03BfMLypoBR | The Cassique of Accabee. Tale of Ashley River. With Other Pieces by William Gilmore Simms.
Poetry | John Russell | 1849
The Cassique of Accabee, a volume of poetry by William Gilmore Simms, features one long narrative poem, which shares its title with the book. The volume also contains a section of shorter poems. These poems were all previously published in other forms before they appeared in this collection,[1] published by John Russell in 1849 in Charleston, South Carolina. As James Kibler notes, the volume was completely printed by September 19, 1849, but copies were still being bound around September 27, 1849.[2] Kibler observes further that subsequent copies of the work, all of which were printed in 1849, have, "the imprints of Putnam of New York and Harper of New York."[3] All have the exact same gatherings, and the Putnam version features, "the same cover and paper size as the Charleston copies; and the title page remains the same except for a new three-line imprint which appears to be set from the same type font as the original."[4] Kibler uses Hinman collation to conclude that the Russell and Putnam versions of the texts are virtually "two states of one impression."[5] On the other hand, the Harper version features some unique characteristics and is therefore more than likely a second impression.[6] As John Caldwell Guilds notes, although the title of this work would lead one to conclude that Simms was solely focusing on the South or Southwest as his subject within this collection, "in reality only The Cassique of Accabee itself is clearly Southern backwoods in theme or tone," with the other selected poems having a variety of different topical themes.[7]
While not one of Simms's best, this collection was widely publicized. Recognizing this issue of quality, a New York friend of Simms, Evert Augustus Duyckinck, in his review, which appeared in Literary World in 1850, noted, "No writer whom we can at present call to mind, has suffered so severely from the miscarriages he has made, or has been so little estimated by what he has produced of real and permanent excellence. It is not that he has done too little, but that he has done too much. No man can deny that Mr. Simms is a poet; and yet no man in the country has sent before the world so much verse of doubtful character….[H]e is constantly sending to the press productions far below what must be his own standards of taste, and which cannot secure his own deliberate approval."[8] These criticisms were not entirely new to Simms. He had heard similar statements, albeit in a personal rather than public context, from South Carolina friend James Henry Hammond. Simms addressed Hammond's criticisms in a letter to Hammond dated June 9, 1851. "Your critique upon my poesies is hasty," he wrote, "In fact you have never read one twentieth part that I have published. The Southern Passages and Pictures contain more passion than all the American Poets put together. If you desire a sample of it, read the poem To Time in the collection which accompanies The Cassique of Accabee."[9]
The first edition features a blue paper wrapper binding with a decorative border. The cover reads: THE | Cassique of Accabee. | A | TALE OF ASHLEY RIVER. | WITH | OTHER PIECES | BY | WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS, | AUTHOR OF, ''THE YEMASSEE,'' ''RICHARD HURDIS,'' ''GUY RIVERS,'' ''ATALANTIS,'' ETC. | [decorative floral design] | CHARLESTON, | JOHN RUSSELL, KING-STREET | 1849.

BkiUdTI4eIXho9hDJAAG | Bihar infra growth on fast track, Rs 53000 crore committed, says PM Modi
15 October Bihar(India)-Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday sought to present Bihar as a success story in terms of infrastructure growth under NDA rule at the Centre, saying that the people of the state were themselves stunned to know that projects worth over Rs 38,000 crore were implemented or launched within a short span of three years.
Speaking at a function organised to mark the foundation laying of various infrastructure projects worth Rs 3769 crore in the Taal area of Mokama, about 100 km east of Patna, Modi said, the government had demonstrated that fate of any state could be changed in such a short span of time.
"Bihar may not have seen such a huge volume of ongoing work going ever since Independence," he said, adding that Bihar would be among prosperous states by 2022.
Underscoring the necessity for development of communication links as precondition for growth, Modi said he had significantly increased the budget size in the last three years so that the pace of development could be doubled.
He said the network of rural roads had increased significantly at the national level. "However, it needs to be backed up with roads, which connect growth centres to help assure economic prosperity to villages," he said, amid a steady chant of 'Modi…Modi' from a huge crowd, comprising mostly of youngsters.
The PM also targeted his political rivals, alleging there were people who sought to run down investments in road and other communication projects. "Road projects worth Rs 53,000 crore are either going on or set to be launched soon. That will bring about a massive change in basic infrastructure of Bihar," he said.
The projects for which the foundation stones were laid by the PM included Rs 1161 crore six-lane bridge over the river Ganga in Mokama, parallel to existing Rajendra Setu, for widening of four national highways and Rs 738-crore for revamp of sewerage treatment plants and laying new sewage network in Patna under Namami Gange project.
Apparently ignoring chief minister Nitish Kumar's opposition to development of waterways in the river Ganga, Modi said the operation of waterways from Patna to Haldia would go a long way in bringing down the cost of transport and thereby reduce the prices of commodities. The PM also remained non-committal on the CM's request for a comprehensive plan for development of Mokama Tal area.
Spread over 1,016 square kilometres, from Fatuha (in Patna) to Barbigha (Begusarai) along the river Ganga, the Tal area remains submerged in water. The area is known as the bowl of pulses. But farmers are unable to reap good yield for want of timely clearance of water.
Starting his speech in the local Magahi dialect, Modi sought to connect with the locals, as he cited historic and literary contributions of the region. He referred the place as 'tapobhumi' of Baba Chauharmal, a Dalit reformer, and Parshuram, the legendary fighter-saint Brahmin, and cited contributions of Rashtra Kavi Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar', who spent his childhood near Mokama, while referring to the place as 'once a mini-Kolkata'.
He also recalled the importance of Simaria Ghat, where Jayaprakash Narayan had spent time before launching the students' movement and said he wished to bring back the old glory of Mokama as the industrial capital of Bihar that was set up during the regime of first chief minister Srikrishna Sinha.
Union minister of surface transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said his ministry was committed to implementing Rs 53,000-crore road projects, announced as part of the special package worth Rs 1.25 crore by the PM, on time. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfpTxK4sA-5Y3uwOE | The Pistons will look to bounce back on the road against Orlando as they hope to put an end to a barren run of five-straight games without a win. Money has come in big on Detroit as their line moves from -1.5 to -3.0 across most books and for good reason as well. The team match up well against the Magic and should be able to slow down the home team's offensive production here.Despite losing their last three on the road (against Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia) the Pistons have only lost by more than seven points in one of those games – a 109-99 loss to the 76ers. Giving them a nice +6.0 start here should be more than enough for the better team that is likely to win and cover their line.
The Pacers should deal with Philadelphia with relative ease at home today. They're a terrific half court team and will suffocate the space inside for Joel Embiid to work in – plus, the take on a 76ers side that's yet to win on the road this season. Indiana is 5-1 against Eastern Conference opponents this season and should make it six straight in conference play today.We love this match up for the home side and we're going to give them a nice 6.5 start for our multi slips today.
Ohio is absolutely rolling right now and their offence shows no signs of slowing down as they face off against the RedHawks. As you can see in our NCAA Football free bet for today, we're expecting another strong output from the Bobcats here as they take on a team that's already allowed 30+ points on five seperate occasions this season.
The Bobcats have dominated this conference rivalry in recent years as well, having won the last five straight meetings between these programs. They've also managed to win nine of the last 10. Miami-Ohio's lone win was a 23-20 grab back in 2012 and if they're to win this shootout it'll likely be in similar fashion. Give the Bobcats a field goal start here as a nice addition for today's bet slip. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdu0241xg966rPMgB | The Bordeaux 2012 en primeur or 'futures' campaign has kicked off. Over the last month, wine merchants and press from around the world have been in Bordeaux for the annual tastings of young barrel samples, and opening prices for some of the leading wines have started to trickle out.
I'll follow up with my thoughts on the wines.
I wrote three 2012 harvest reports for Jancis's site entitled 'Scorching summer but no rush' last August, followed by 'The Late Show' in October and lastly 'The end in sight at last'. Given these headlines, you'd be right in thinking that it was a late harvest. What was largely missing from those articles were some weather statistics, so here they are in a graphical format.
After the two outstanding vintages of 2009 and 2010, it's only normal that onlookers will compare 2012 with 2011. Yet the weather conditions in 2011 and 2012 could hardly have been more different, even if we like to slot two years into the same bracket of 'good but not great'.
1. A late bud-burst and a wet April meant a slow start – the opposite of 2011.
2. Mildew was a real threat and had to be kept in check.
3. Mixed weather in June resulted in the flowering being drawn out.
4. Bordeaux enjoyed an excellent summer from mid-July to late September.
5. August was dry and hot but veraison (when grapes change colour) was spread out.
6. The dry whites were picked in fine September weather.
7. The weather changed towards the end of September, and October was up and down.
8. Humid, drizzly weather from 6 October 'encouraged' many to pick.
9. Expensive grape-sorting machines earned their keep.
10. Sauternes had a challenging year, after three great vintages.
11. Yields were low but not as bad as other parts of France.
12. Quality is uneven and there should be some very good wines.
The 2012 Spring bud break in the vineyard was much later than usual and a full three weeks later than 2011. Winter was mild until February and the vines didn't shut down properly for their much needed winter rest until quite late.
Then we had a bitterly cold February, much chillier than the norm, and the ground froze. It was to be some weeks before the ground warmed up and the vines came out of hibernation.
We'd had three dry vintages on the trot (09, 10 and 11) and the winter of 2011-2012 was quite dry. There was a deficit in the amount of water (December being the exceptional month), with 336mm of rain here from October 2011 to March 2012, compared to 457mm as the Bordeaux average of the previous ten years.
After very little rain in February and March, it bucketed down in April – 194mm compared to a 30-year norm of 78mm – and it was cold too (9.9C compared to 12.4C). Vine-growth crawled along at a snail's pace and mildew soon became a huge threat. May, thankfully, was comparatively dry.
The extremes of the rain in 2012 are shown here, compared to the average each month. An April deluge, a little too much in June, a very dry summer and then rain again in the early autumn.
The April deluge stands out (see comments above) but a key period was during the flowering in June. More on that anon.
You can also see just how dry it was during July and especially August. This sets 2012 apart from years like 2006, 2007 and 2011.
Here are the rainfall figures for the month (and the 30 year average in brackets). And the actual number of days of rain.
April 194mm (78mm) over 24 days with rain.
May 44 (79.8) over 8 days.
June 79.6 (62.6) over 12 days, notably 2/6 and 9,10,11.
July 35.5 (50), 8 days.
August 26.5 (56) 7 days.
September 56 (90) 7 days, notably 25/9 (see below).
September rain was lower than the average and most of the rain came towards the end of the month (see below).
Note: my figures are from my local weather station, some 15 miles south east of Bordeaux, except the 'average' figures quoted, which are for Bordeaux itself.
April was not only very wet, but cold, accentuating the slow start to the growth of the vines.
As you can see, August was pretty warm compared to recent vintages – as were the first three weeks of September – giving the grapes a chance to ripen.
2011 had far more hours of sun in April, accelerating the early growth that year. However, 2012 had more sun than 2011 in each of the months of June, July, August and September, and this should be evident in the wines.
2012 compares very favourably to years like 2006, 2007 and 2011 from June to September, and isn't far short of the top years. Note how the total hours of sunshine per month in the excellent years of 2005, 2009 and 2010 stack up, and how, for example, the weaker vintage of 2007 was saved by September.
The rain in June (80mm here against an average of 62mm) fell on 12 days from 2 June to 20 June, and it was cold in the second week too – a critical moment of flowering.
As a result, the floraison was drawn out and fruit set was uneven and inconsistent. Some vineyards were absolutely fine, although I have rarely seen bunches of grapes at such different stages of ripening – not just in different plots but from one vine to another, or even from one bunch to another.
Many Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were comparatively large but slightly fewer in number per bunch. One enologist friend reckoned it was because the vine was allowing for room for expansion in the event of rain late in the season. If true, this could have an impact on the quality and character of the wine.
I love July here. There's much to do in the vineyard, the French haven't all buggered off on holiday just yet, and when we have some free time, the beaches and approach roads are relatively uncrowded. The weather too is usually fairly even, but in 2012 it was a game of two halves. Cool and damp at the start, sunny and dry later.
As for the prospects for the vintage, the mood reflects the weather. After a protracted flowering in June, things were not looking good in the first ten days of July – but hope springs eternal as soon as the sun comes out and there's a full two months before the harvest.
August was quite cool at the beginning and at the end of the month (lowering the average temperature), but we had 12 days of 30˚C and over between 9 and 27 August, with minimal rain. Many vines, especially young ones, suffered from heat and water stress.
The veraison for red grapes, when they change colour from green to magenta, was very drawn out across the month. This stemmed from the uneven flowering and, in some cases, from the heat or water stress.
Well financed Chateaux sensibly removed green grapes towards the end of veraison. Chateau Cheval Blanc in St-Emilion, for example, had 40 people hastily ditching green bunches once the vineyard was at 90% of colour change towards the end of the month.
After a hot and sunny August, the fine weather continued well into September. Sauvignon Blanc and then Sémillon were picked in excellent weather for the dry whites. The temperature dropped in the second week, which also proved helpful when harvesting the whites. Dry white, however, makes up only a small percentage of the harvest in Bordeaux (less than 10%), so the real money was on the how the reds would ripen.
The weather turned on the weekend of 23 September, and a handful of estates began picking young Merlots that week.
In 2011, almost all the reds had been brought in by the end of September but in 2012 very little had been picked to this point. It was a huge contrast, and a reminder of just how the weather controls the vintage.
The red harvest began in earnest in the first week of October on both banks. Pomerol was largely completed by the end of the week, with the top estates of St-Emilion only kicking off from Monday 8 October.
The weekend of 7 October proved to be a turning point, as it was both humid and drizzly, forcing many to bring forward their harvest plans in case rot took hold. Some had to compromise between harvesting healthy grapes and physiologically-ripe ones.
Most estates had wrapped up the red harvest by the time of the heavier downpours on the 19 October. This would have favoured Merlot from the better terroirs over the later-ripening Cabernets. Having said that, all the Cabernet Sauvignon I saw being brought in on the Left Bank in mid-October looked in very healthy condition.
The above rainfall figures from my local weather station. Rain in Pauillac, for example, was heavier than here around 14 October to 20 October.
Personally, I think Bordeaux needed a fortnight of better weather at the end, but that's always going to be the risk with a later harvest. It's not that the grapes were unripe, it's just a shame that after a marathon growing season and a fabulous summer in 2012, we limped across the finishing line. The opportunity to make outstanding wines across the board disappeared as Autumn closed in. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUdzQ4eIXh1Pq_-r_- | The transfer window is in full swing and all clubs are working hard to land their targets.
But these weeks just before the start of pre-season are always a strange time for players on the lookout for a move.
It's like playing cards, it's the ultimate game of poker and you have to play the right hand.
There will be players up and down the country now who have offers and interest from clubs.
They can sign and be secure. Or they can sit and wait and see if something else materialises.
If it does, it will put them in a stronger position when they negotiate a contract.
But they may find those deals are no longer on the table if they take too long.
Managers – particularly in the lower leagues – will be looking at a host of players who can do a job for them.
And one move triggers another so targets can shift very quickly as players suddenly become available.
So far Walsall have managed to get two deals over the line with Josh Ginnelly joining Andy Cook this week.
But the squad still looks worryingly light to me.
By my count, Walsall currently have 16 players who have first-team experience. I've included Joe Edwards in that even though he's yet to sign his new deal.
But I've also had to include Kory Roberts, Maz Kouhyar, Callum Cockerill-Mollett and Mitch Candlin.
They are all talented but they are all young. And that is a concern. Again it shows just what a mess Dean Keates inherited.
The squad was lacking in strength and depth last season but we can't just get bodies in. We need numbers but we need quality. And with Walsall's budget it's not easy.
For me, we still need a couple of centre-backs, a couple of strikers another winger and another midfielder.
It's a lot. But I wouldn't be surprised if we have a quiet few days as players continue to mull over their options.
Then – when pre-season closes in – we'll probably see a flurry of new arrivals.
On a separate note, it always amuses me when I read that players have now started work on their summer fitness programs.
I can remember Keatesy saying he wanted the Saddlers players to enjoy the first two weeks of their break.
And then they had to start working on their fitness regimes for the summer.
It makes me laugh because in my day we had 10 weeks off. It's incredible just how much the game has changed.
I'll never forget the first day of my first pre-season.
I was an apprentice fresh out of school. And in walked Willie Naughton.
He was a fantastic player, he'd make it into my all-time Walsall XI because he had a heck of a left foot.
He jumped on the scales and he had gained 14 pounds over the summer – an entire stone. And then everyone clapped him with Tommy Coakley actually praising him for having done some work while he had been away.
My mouth dropped. He was a stone over. And everyone thought he had done well.
Everyone then told him he'd have no problem losing the weight in time for the season!
Nowadays, you get fined it you come back a pound over. That is how the game has changed. And I can assure Walsall's players Keatesy won't have a problem dishing out fines if they report back overweight. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUd6vxK1ThhCdy9CdI | Aoibhín McMahon of Blackrock AC and Dundealgan AC's Israel Olatunde shine for Ireland at Celtic Games
sport@dundalkdemocrat.ie
Aoibhín McMahon, Deirdre McTeggart, Kathleen McConnell and Israel Olatunde.
The annual Celtic Games athletics international match involving U18 and U16 teams from Ireland, Scotland and Wales was staged on Saturday in Grangemouth, Scotland. County Louth had two athletes on the Irish team and both enjoyed great success.
Aoibhín McMahon of Blackrock AC was a double winner at U16 level, as she triumphed in both the shot putt and javelin. In the former, she recorded an extremely impressive 14.26m, which is a new Celtic Games best performance, while in the latter she had a fine throw of 41.58m.
Israel Olatunde, of Dundealgan AC, who was a semi-finalist in the 100m at last month's European U18 Championships and will still be in the U18 age group next year, won the U18 200m with his fastest ever time of 22.13, albeit with the wind speed marginally over the permitted limit for non-wind assisted performances. Later in the day, he was part of the Irish 4x100m team that sped to victory ahead of Scotland and Wales in a time of 42.11.
Two coaches from the county also accompanied the Irish team to Scotland – Kathleen McConnell of St. Peter's AC and Deirdre McTeggart of Boyne AC. McConnell has vast experience as a coach with Irish Celtic Games teams, but it was the first time that McTeggart has been honoured by being called upon to be a coach at this level. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUb_e6NNjgB1scXPhE | Formulas help you extract useful information from your data. Add cell references and functions to calculate values that update automatically when you change your data.
I have added an Over/under budget column to the worksheet to help us track our budget as the actual costs begin to come in.
But to make that column work, we need to add a formula.
In case you had not noticed, Excel has already added some formulas for us, down here, in the Total row.
Tables can be very useful when it comes to formulas.
But to really understand how they work, let's try creating one on our own.
Select the first cell in the column. To let Excel know we are entering a formula, type an = sign.
Now, there are number of ways to write a formula.
We could type the values in each column with a - sign between them, and get the correct result.
But then what would happen if one of the numbers changed? We would have to rewrite the formula.
To solve that problem, we can use cell references.
Instead of typing the value of each cell, we simply type the cell addresses.
To help you keep track of cell references in the formula, Excel puts a colored highlight on the cell.
Press Enter and Excel calculates the formula and displays the result in the cell.
Now because we used cell references, we can change a value and Excel automatically updates the Total.
Keep in mind that even though the cell shows the result, the real content of the cell is still the formula.
If you wonder if a cell contains a formula, click the cell and look in the Formula Bar.
Also, we can use AutoFill.
Just click this little green handle in the cell and drag it down, and Excel automatically fills the formula to the other cells.
It even updates the cell references to point to the right cells.
Note that negative values are displayed in parentheses.
But for an even easier way to enter formulas, we can use functions.
A function does all the formula writing for you. As you saw earlier, you can add a function to the Total row by simply clicking this arrow.
If you select Sum, Excel adds the SUBTOTAL function.
But you can add a function to any cell you want. Select a cell. Then, go to the FORMULAS tab on the ribbon. Here, you have a whole library of functions.

BkiUfFs4uzliDGNVOLpr | Russia once again deployed weapons and mercenaries in Donbas
A group of trucks with ammunition and Cossacks arrived in the occupied territory of Ukraine.
DONETSK (QHA) -
Russia continues to actively support terrorists in the Donbas, deploying ammunition, militants and artillery mounts to ORDLO, according to People's Deputy of Ukraine, Coordinator of the "Information Resistance" group Dmitry Tymchuk.
"The transfer of forces and funds from the territory of the Russian Federation to L/DPR continues. On the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region three buses arrived through the Izvarino checkpoint with representatives of the so-called "Don Host Army" (about 100 so-called Cossacks), 9 units of the 122-mm BM-21 Grad missile system, about 30 trucks with ammunition."
On the territory of the "LPR", according to the Information Resistance, a conflict arose between the so-called "People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic" and representatives of the ataman of the "Almighty Don Host". The reason was an attempt of the Luhansk "militia" to seize medicaments imported from Russia for Cossack formations. "Ataman of Almighty Don Host" Kozitsyn reacted to the militants' threats and stated: "Do not take anything where you put nothing."
"Committee for Donbas and Russia integration" created in Crimea
Furthermore, Tymchuk reported that the militants have already started their economic activities at the confiscated enterprises of Donbas. In particular, the external management of terrorists has been introduced, and all former management of enterprises has been dismissed. Reportedly, the only manager who agreed to cooperate with the militants and headed his company after the so-called "nationalization" was the director of the Donetsk Metallurgical Plant Igor Minkovsky.
Earlier, during a meeting of the Trilateral Group in Minsk on March 15, it was recorded that Russia is responsible for violations leading to a potential breakdown of the previously reached agreements on the settlement of the conflict in Donbas.

Can anyone see what is going wrong here?
Thank you for your help.
A: You should put the alerts inside of the ajax callback because ajax is async:

BkiUdCQ4ubng3m-N4qTW | If you have been injured on the job, it is your employer's legal responsibility to provide the workers' compensation benefits needed to cover medical bills and compensate lost wages. Many workers, however, find themselves struggling to achieve those benefits. The process is detailed and confusing, and many people are unable to navigate the complexities.
For decades, The Law Offices of Arnold S. Levine has helped individuals through the sometimes-difficult process of gaining workers' compensation benefits. We will guide you through and help you achieve the benefits you are entitled to.
Our attorneys have a deep familiarity with the process, as well as an established rapport with the Industrial Commission of Ohio.
The process for recovering benefits follows a rigid deadline, and it is important that you contact us as soon as possible following the accident. We will help you get the medical treatment and opinions that you need, quickly building your claim.
Many times there is an additional instance of personal injury and third-party claims where another person or company independent of your employer is partly to blame for your injury. These are almost always in addition to a workers' compensation claim. We are prepared to handle these cases and help you get the compensation you need. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdks4eIZjyglw5tLG | A minute's silence was held at the beginning as a mark of respect for those who died and those whose lives were changed by the loss of family and friends. Grenfell Tower's owners and managers were widely criticised after the June blaze because they had allowed a refurbishment using flammable cladding which helped the flames spread.
On Wednesday, South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission said it had detected traces of radioactive xenon gas from the nuclear test. The seismic activity, they say, is a result of North Korea's sixth nuclear test September 3. "The significance of this is that it has the potential to dramatically increase the threat posed by" its ballistic missiles. "No way... A use of military force, but that would result in a second Korean war".
Mr Trump earlier met with federal and state leaders in Fort Myers, where he was brimming with enthusiasm for the state and federal response effort. Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert said the planning for the president's trip was done in concert with Florida Gov.
The ministry said all the targets were destroyed. The country has repeatedly fired salvos of such missiles, from both the sea and mainland Russian Federation. The U.S-led coalition struck the road the convoy was traveling on, leaving it stranded in the desert for about two weeks, though some vehicles were able to slip into militant-held territory.
That also was the second consecutive year of a decline in the nation's poverty rate. The poverty rate dropped to 12.7 percent in 2016 from 13.5 percent in 2015. • The "Gini index" was 0.481 in 2016; the change from 2015 was not statistically significant. "The nation's still sky-high poverty is a human-made disaster of epic proportions", said Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

Rodrigo Torrejon, North Jersey Record Published 11:20 a.m. ET June 19, 2019 | Updated 7:02 p.m. ET June 19, 2019
An Uber Eats driver was arrested and charged with lewdness after being caught masturbating in his car by a customer in Hackensack, police said.
The driver, Vinicius Porto, 30, was arrested Friday, Detective Capt. Darrin Dewitt said in a statement. He was released on a summons and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
At 4:43 p.m. June 13, a 23-year-old customer received her food in an unstapled bag, found it odd and went outside to check with the delivery driver, the statement said. When she approached Porto, who was parked in front of her house in a black Ford Explorer, he was masturbating, the statement said.

The customer quickly captured Porto on video before he fled, the statement said. Police were able to track Porto back to his Newark apartment, where he was arrested.
"What's been described is disturbing and unacceptable," an Uber spokesperson said. "We've been in touch with the customer and the courier's access to the app has been permanently removed."

BkiUeBw4uBhjDe9z1xiY | EventsPreviewReportWrestlingMatch Preview: X-TERMINATOR VS. MAKITA
MATCH PREVIEW: X-TERMINATOR VS. MAKITA
For the opening match of SFA01, the company has set-up one that will be a true reflection of a proper African clash of style diversity. X-Terminator from South Africa takes on Makita, from Cameroon. Not only is this an opening match for the event, but it will go down in history books as the very first match Slamforce Africa has ever produced. No pressure for these two athletes.
South Africans have always been known more for a strong power-sports orientated mind-set with the country's most successful sport being the very physical and power-style rugby, with big men, strong men and tough as nails men. Enter, X-Terminator.
A police officer by day, a body-builder during breakfast, lunch and supper and one of South Africa's best and most recognisable professional wrestlers at night. The big man has been in the ring with big names such as Bobby Lashley, PJ Black and Carlito. A veteran of the industry in South Africa and still hungry for squashing his opponents into oblivion. Standing at 1.82m and weighing a hulking mass of muscle at 121kg, very few men enjoy the moment the bell rings when X-Terminator is standing opposite them.
Where, on the opposite side of the continent, and the ring, in Northern Africa, where they prefer the flair, acrobatics and breath-taking finesse of soccer (football) in Cameroon comes a man that embodies their culture and fast flying style, the Indominable Lion, Makita.
Currently plying his trade in the USA and chasing lucrative contracts and championship gold to make his country proud, something that most North Africans have in common, Makita is the exact opposite of the South African big man, smaller in build but faster, more agile and terrifyingly quick with his feet. Known for creating the African Strong Style and being one of the top contenders in Ring of Honor's Top Prospect Tournament for 2019, where the winner gets a shot at the ROH Television Championship. Much shorter than his opponent, X-Terminator, standing at 1.73m tall and weighing 78kg – a whole 43kg lighter than his opponent, many sports enthusiasts will scream "unfair" but not the Indominable Lion himself, Makita relishes taking on bigger and stronger men, it is a Lion culture he has taken root of from his home country.
But one needs to say that when it comes to experience, and facing all sorts of competitors in the ring, X-Terminator does have an advantage that transcends just pure size. It takes a lot to catch the big man off-guard and he normally has a very cerebral approach to his opponents. Never under-estimating them based on their size, years inside the squared circle of professional wrestling has taught him this truth.
Will X-Terminator dominate the Indominable Lion, or will Makita be too quick and intense for the South African? To top it all off, the match has plenty on the line, as this match will be the first of two SFA Continental Championship Qualifiers.
Who will prevail, South African pride or Cameroonian honour? Find out on 27 October 2019, at SFA01 from the Rembrandt Hall at the University of Pretoria, in Pretoria, South Africa.

BkiUfNA4uzlh9r2JtkNs | In between your headline news and favorite sitcom or drama on television; you see the ads for a litany of medicines promising to spell relief from your illness de jour (e.g., depression, irritable bowel syndrome, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, and osteoporosis). Although some people may experience short term relief from these conditions, these medications invariably come with a laundry list of unpleasant and often harmful side effects and usually do little to prevent chronic health problems in the future. So instead of buying into these ads and opting for synthetic medicines, why not turn a cheek and laugh a little or a lot?
It decreases your tendencies towards aggression thereby helping you to form and build your relationship skills with people.
It decreases your perceived level of physical pain by enhancing your production of endogenous endorphins.
It helps you to manage your psychological stress more effectively by allowing you to shift your perspective on often challenging situations.
It improves your blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels and decreases blood sugar levels after eating foods that convert into glucose in your body.
Unlike, synthetic medicines, laughter is free and the only potential side effect is disturbing your neighbor or partner at a comedy club or movie. If you find it difficult to laugh, there are several simple ways that you can work this muscle (i.e., it is a muscle isn't it?). You can watch or listen to a comedy film or play, go with a friend to a comedy club, join your nearest Laughter Yoga club, or read a magazine like MAD (i.e., you still read paper magazines don't you?). If you still have trouble laughing, remember that like any muscle you only have to start where at and can simply smile instead.

the problem is that when we get to 10 on one level, we don't want to go back to a '1' on the next level, we want to, instead, go to 20, then 30, then 40, etc - however, there are steps involved going from one level to the next and you have to decide, "will I remain at 10 on this level...at the top of this level, or am i willing to go to 1, or the bottom of the next level so that i can one day end up at 20, or 30, or 100?"

BkiUf_A241xiQODM-_Sk | After having drawn attention across the world with the debut single Nine Matches, L.A.-based singer-songwriter B. Miles is back with a new track Shaking Hands.
With Nine Matches the young artist has highlighted a vibrant and soulful vocals supported by Noise Club's percussive elements to create a round space against deep, lush synth puds, and getting so a dark pop texture.
Now Shaking Hands is the next chapter in B.Miles' story – a track she describes as 'a twisted version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"': a more complex take on the classic fable that's perfectly in keeping with her atmospheric sound. Miles' lyrical inspiration comes from the likes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits, and this is evident throughout.
Indeed the young artist first crafted her songwriting in Miami, attempting to forge an identity which captured 'the essence of melancholy and yearning, while finding beauty in the sadness and pain that all of us carry inside'.
B. Miles seems to have struck on a sound that promises much for the future. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

"The one against England was their best match. Brozovic in that position is the one that determined the quality of Croatia, to have him play in the role they have also moved a little further than one like Modric," Inter coach said.
"He ran 16 km in a game, an impressive thing, the good ones make it 11-12, he has made 16 of absolute quality. With him the ball does not die in the path, it is born strong and comes strong, makes it sound all the time.
"As for Perisic, I agree with what Mourinho said: a player from physical exaggeration, at Ronaldo.

BkiUdmU5qX_BlbLl_28g | QVI Fusion 400 is an innovative large field-of-view (LFOV) multisensor measurement system that offers power, speed and versatility to automate measurement and maximize throughput. It offers a generous 350x250x250 mm measurement volume, and the heart of its capability lies in its LFOV optical system. There are two selectable optical configurations — a 100 mm diagonal field-of-view Low Magnification with long depth of focus, and a 20 mm diagonal field-of-view High Magnification with autofocus.
With Fusion Low Mag, it's easy to fit a number of parts into a single field-of-view. Feature Extraction analyzes any part and displays basic part geometry without the need for a programmed measurement routine. With AutoID, a previously programmed part — or multiple parts — may be placed anywhere on the stage, even without fixturing, and Fusion will accurately identify the parts and their orientation, and automatically measure them. The High Mag optical path allows up-close measurement of small features, with the added efficiency of autofocus.
Fusion 400 is fully multisensor-capable with available touch trigger probe, SP25 continuous contact scanning probe, and patented on-axis TeleStar® Plus interferometric TTL laser. Available micro-probes to measure fragile, deformable, or extremely small part features include Feather Probe™ and Rainbow Probe™. Select sensors may be deployed rotationally so that full stage travel is accessible for measurement.
Fusion 400 is equipped with QVI ZONE3® premium CAD-based 3D metrology software. ZONE3 features a clear, simple user interface, and its kinematic model simulates the machine, part, fixtures, and measuring sensor, updated in real time. Built-in productivity maximizing tools, integrated GD&T functionality, and visual validation of measurement intent offer speed and power to the measurement process. ZONE3 supports simultaneous use of multiple sensors, making appropriate tools available for complex measurement tasks. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUb2nxK6EuM_UbplbY | The goal is simple: to build the best performing, most advanced outerwear possible. The Vector Series makes no compromises and delivers the performance demanded by our elite team of athletes and mountain professionals by utilizing GORE-TEX® fabric throughout the collection. The Vector Series ensures you are ready for whatever conditions you face.
Engineered for extended and extreme conditions, our GORE-TEX Pro outerwear is the optimum solution to meet the needs of our team, outdoor professionals, and serious skiers with tough, extremely breathable, waterproof and windproof protection. All components are built for maximized ruggedness while strict textile performance specifications ensure optimum strength and must pass Gore's toughest test conditions and most aggressive rainstorm test.
Our GORE-TEX Pro 3-layer construction comprises a special high performance GORE-TEX membrane bonded to a tough outer material and Gore's patent pending Micro Grid Backing. The benefit is no movement between the three layers, which means even greater durability, and incredibly strong yet lightweight garment.
Armada garments engineered with GORE-TEX product technology are durably waterproof and wind-proof combined with optimized breathability. Our GORE-TEX outerwear is guaranteed to maximize the wearers' protection and comfort.
RECCO Avalanche Rescue System-At Armada we strongly support mountain safety and avalanche education in the backcountry. If you spend any time out of bounds, we urge you to get educated and be properly equipped. It is in this spirit we are very proud of our partnership with RECCO and feature their reflectors in our line.
RECCO is an avalanche rescue system utilized worldwide to facilitate the rapid location of burials. The two parts-reflector and detector-enable rapid pinpointing using harmonic radar but are not a substitute for transceiver use. Complementary in function, the RECCO system increases the chance of being found in time.
100% Seam Sealed with 13mm GORE-SEAM Tape-All Armada Outerwear is 100% seam sealed. Every seam is welded or taped to guarantee the waterproofing of the garment.
SuperFlo Lining System with Outland Print-Our SuperFlo Lining System is our strategically placed lining system for our 2-layer garments. It was developed to maximize function and comfort by allowing heat and moisture to escape easily, and provide snag-free layering and extra warmth in just the right places.
The SuperFlo Lining in the pants utilizes fleece in the seat, open mesh in the inner leg area and the Outland-printed mesh for the rest.
YKK AQUAGUARD VISLON Water Repellent Zippers-Used to seal off our garments from the elements. Both the AQUAGUARD COIL and new for 12/13, AQUAGUARD VISLON are used in our line. The AQUAGUARD VISLON had the advantage of plastic teeth that run smoother in winter weather and provide more opportunity for color combinations. YKK Zippers are used as our standard throughout the line to provide quality zippers you can count on. We use YKK Water Repellent Zippers on some of our garments to help seal them off from the elements. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUa8w5qsNCPfdFc-TK | Rembrandt in Hull
Hull, HU1 2ER United Kingdom
A new comedy by Dave Lee for people who know their arts from their elbow.
By 1661, the world's most celebrated and influential artist Rembrandt Van Rijn was broke, vilified, homeless and a widower. He was in his mid-50's and he was at the lowest point of his life. Bereft, he had even given up painting.
At the invitation of poet (and local MP) Andrew Marvell, Rembrandt travelled to the Yorkshire city of Hull to recuperate and rediscover some inspiration.
What followed was a series of adventures as manic as they are unbelievable.
In his first full work for the stage, film-maker Dave Lee weaves a fast-paced comedy around the myth, the legend, the facts and the falsehoods of Rembrandt's visit to Hull, the people he met and how it all came undone. The play is approximately 17% true.
Rembrandt in Hull will be three covid-safe, script-in-hand performances in the new performance space above Wrecking Ball Music and Books in Whitefriargate, Hull. It contains some swearing and sexual references. But no violence. Well, maybe a bit.
Rembrandt in Hull is supported by Arts Council England and Hull City Council.

After partnerships with the likes of Horizons Hampton Roads and Suffolk Public Libraries, Eleni decided that AGSS could help serve the Charlottesville community as well, and reached out to a talented team of individuals at UVA. AGSS UVA hopes to attain full CIO status within the next year and begin operations at the University of Virginia for many years to come.
Eleni is currently on a pre-medical track. In her free time, she enjoys playing guitar, listening to country music, playing video games, watching her favorite TV show Lucifer, and spending time with friends.
Vice President: Priyanka Saraf
Name: Priyanka Saraf
Major/Minor: 3rd year, B.A. Cognitive Science with Cognitive Psychology concentration, Sociology Minor
Hometown: Fairfax, VA
My passion for STEM was fueled by my fascination of how everything in science fits so perfectly together, and that there is always a reason why things work the way they do. When I was younger, I loved doing math problems because it was like solving a puzzle and getting to the correct answer was rewarding. When I started taking science classes I was fascinated by how everything in the body fits together so perfectly, which is why I am passionate about pursuing a medical career to continue to study this intricate system. I appreciate the endless opportunities STEM provides for exploring curiosities and making a difference.
My hope for this organization is to create an equal opportunity for underrepresented groups in STEM to explore their interests in different fields of science in an interactive way. I hope to spark passion for STEM and demonstrate the endless possibilities that these fields have to offer. I hope to create a space for learning and growth.
Hobbies: I enjoy crocheting, dance, and music
Vice President: Lauren Turse
Lauren, from Hainesport, New Jersey, is a second year at UVA majoring in Chemistry with an ACS certification. Lauren did not realize her passion for STEM until high school, when she took classes at her local community college and received an associates degree in Biology. She hopes to graduate a year early and enroll in a Masters program for Chemistry, then apply to medical school.
Treasurer: Anahita Golchin
My name is Anahita Golchin and Im a 3rd year Biology major. I'm from Melbourne Fl and my goal to to go to medical school and become an endocrinologist. I got into STEM because I enjoy being challenged by these subjects and have a great interest in biological/chemical sciences. My hobbies include exercising, and drawing/painting.
CIO Coordinator: Sayli Satpute
My name is Sayli and I am a second year student from Westchester, NY planning to major in biology with a minor in bioethics! I got into STEM because I wanted to explore a hands-on way to learn more about the world around me that went beyond just what I learned in school. This led me toward the path of cell and disease research, which became a totally unexpected passion, but I genuinely couldn't be happier. I hope to get younger girls interested in any STEM field and help them realize that it is not as daunting as it seems; I want them to know that they have a network of people who were in the same position as them not too long ago. In my free time, I like to work on creative outlets like painting, journaling, and making Spotify playlists for my every mood.
Sonia Chandra: Community Outreach Head

Marketing/Social Media Co-Chair: Ria Sardesai
Hi everyone! My name is Ria Sardesai and I am a Biology major with a minor in Bioethics. I am originally from Chicago IL, but I have also lived in Maryland, India, and now I am in NoVA (Ashburn). I got into STEM because I was always interested in the way the world works, and when I started learning chemistry and biology in middle school, I absolutely fell in love with the ways in which biomolecules interact in life. I am a pre-med student and hope to one day be a cardiologist! Other than that, I love music, memes, and movies so don't be afraid to come and talk to me about any of these things. I also love poetry and creative writing, and I love trying to make STEM another kind of creative outlet for myself and others. I'm excited to meet you guys, and work with you in AGSS!
Marketing/Social Media Co-Chair: Izzy McReynolds
Hey! My name is Izabelle McReynolds or "Izzy" and I'm a current 2nd-year Computer Science major in the College of Arts & Sciences from the NOVA area. I hope to work and join internships with government organizations for cybersecurity and data science. I'm Japanese-American, and I absolutely love all things anime/manga, food & animals! It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. (:
Math/Physics Curriculum Head: Teah Snively
Teah Snively is a current student at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. Teah first developed an interest in STEM in elementary school when she first learned about black holes and special relativity. After taking a robotics class in seventh grade, her love for math began to grow. Teah aims to teach young students how to love mathematics as much as she does. She also hopes to show students that mathematics is the foundation of the sciences and technologies that we know today, rather than a homework assignment to dread. This sentiment comes from Teah's own experiences in high school math, where she had some of the lowest test scores in her class freshman year. After years of discouragement from friends, Teah rediscovered her love of math when she began taking calculus in her junior year, and realized that she had both a natural talent and determination to learn the subject. Beginning in 2020, Teah began working as a lab assistant at UVA's High Energy Physics Laboratory. Teah is a second place winner at the 2017 American Protege International Music Talent Competition (piano), as well as a two-time winner of the Rappahannock Music Society Instrumental Scholarship Competition (flute). Teah spends her free time reading fantasy novels, cooking, playing video games, and reading about math. Teah aims to go to graduate school at UVA for math, and one day work as a professor.
Science Curriculum Head: Shruthi Muralidaran
Hello! My name is Shruthi Muralidaran. I'm a second year at the University of Virginia and I'm hoping to major in Human Biology and minor in French. I'm from NOVA (Alexandria to be exact) and I got into the STEM field at a young age because of my desire to become a doctor. However, as I took more science and math classes I came to appreciate the subjects more on their own, independently of my passion for medicine. Outside of learning STEM topics, I also love to cook, do artistic projects such as painting and sewing, and learn languages.
Technology Curriculum Head: Annie Son
Hey! My name is Annie and I am a third year at UVA majoring in biology and minoring in psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences. I always found STEM more interesting compared to history and english but didn't realize I was interested in the field of medicine until I took a human anatomy class in high school. Although I have already found my passion in medicine, I hope to get younger generations passionate in any field of STEM. In my free time I enjoy sleeping, eating, and doing art while listening to music!! So excited to meet all of you! | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Redhead Mountain Bike Park in Chisholm
Photo by Jay Richards
If you haven't heard much of Redhead Mountain Bike Park yet, you will soon. Over the course of five months last year—in the middle of a global pandemic, no less—more than 15,000 people visited Chisholm to ride the region's newest mountain bike trails. Downtown storefronts that had been vacant for years suddenly had interested buyers. This October, the Minnesota High School Cycling League will host a race at Redhead, bringing up to 3,000 people and $500,000 of potential spending to this small Iron Range town.
"These communities haven't seen much significant change in decades," says Jordan Metsa, fund development and marketing coordinator for the Minnesota Discovery Center, which manages Redhead along with the City of Chisholm and the volunteer-run Iron Range Off-Road Cyclists (IROC) mountain bike club.
Citing another Minnesota mining town that's been transformed by mountain biking, "Cuyuna led the way and showed the rest of northern Minnesota that the risk is worth it," Metsa says. "They've reaped the full benefit of businesses coming in as a result."

In Chisholm, one such business is 30West. Two young couples turned an old antique store into a fitness center in 2018 and will run Redhead's on-site bike shop, offering gear, tune-ups, and bike rentals. The city hopes more new businesses will follow and existing businesses will grow, attracting more visitors and new residents for years to come.
Redhead has 25 miles of purpose-built trails so far, which circumnavigate a former mining pit and descend to the sparkling blue water below. Leashed dogs, hikers, trail runners, and e-bikers are also welcome. Kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards can be rented at the water's edge.
At the adjacent Discovery Center (one of the largest museums north of the Twin Cities), a food truck, food court, and full-service restaurant, the Rustic Pig, are open on different days of the week, with live music on Thursday nights and fine dining on Fridays.
Mountain biking at Giant's Ridge

Forty-five minutes east, Giants Ridge in Biwabik continues to up its mountain biking game. The well-known ski and golf resort opened its first lift-served mountain biking trails (a chair lift carries you and your bike to the top) in 2018, and it just added nearly 10 miles of cross-country single track. Rentals and riding clinics are available, making the resort accessible to beginners as well as dominators of the double black diamonds.
"The build quality of our trails is just as good as you would find at Winter Park or another big-name, lift-served mountain bike park; they truly are world-class," says Benji Neff, director of mountain sports at Giants Ridge and a member of IROC.
Mountain biking in Cuyuna
It would be easy for the two parks to consider each other as competition. But that's not the northern Minnesota way. Metsa and Neff see themselves as part of a larger mountain biking destination, combining with the Tioga Recreation Area near Grand Rapids and Cuyuna near Crosby for over 112 miles of high-caliber riding. A new four-way partnership between these locations is aptly named Ride the Range.
"We're challenging rural America to take a second look at their land and judge it for its merit," said Metsa. "People thought this land was useless and wrote it off. We see a really bright future for the Iron Range."
Minnesota's highest bridge is part of the Mesabi Trail
If paved pedaling is more your speed, the Mesabi Trail offers 130 miles of it, with another 16 miles slated for completion this summer. The longest segment (75 miles) runs east from Grand Rapids to McKinley, passing by Hill Annex Mine State Park, over Minnesota's tallest bridge in Virginia, and through several Iron Range towns. A three-day pass is only $5; buy one online or at dozens of businesses along the trail, including Giants Ridge.
The Mesabi Trail's annual tour event has been broken into three separate, smaller tours this year. The first one, on July 31, starts and ends at Redhead.

BkiUd1A4eIOjR058MYcd | «I'll Cry Instead» () — песня английской рок-группы The Beatles, написанная Джоном Ленноном. Впервые песня вышла на альбоме A Hard Day's Night. В основе «I'll Cry Instead» лежат элементы жанра кантри-энд-вестерн, который очень любили все участники группы, особенно Ринго Старр. «I'll Cry Instead» открыла целое направление в творчестве The Beatles, в частности Леннона, создавая новый имидж Джона — героя-романтика, сидящего, оперев голову на ладони, и погрузившегося в океан скорбных мыслей. Эта поза вины и печали наложила характерный отпечаток на творчество Леннона в последнее десятилетие его жизни.
О песне
«I'll Cry Instead» была записана 1 июня 1964 года. Леннон написал её для эпизода, в котором The Beatles стремительно убегают из телестудии и оказываются на поле, где носятся по траве. Композиция состояла из двух секций, A и B, которые позже можно было бы соединить вместе для того, чтобы она по времени вписалась в необходимую сцену фильма. Однако, в конечном счёте, Ричард Лестер (режиссёр фильма) предпочёл использовать в эпизоде более ритмичную композицию «Can't Buy Me Love» с её жизнерадостной лирикой. Уолтер Шенсон (продюсер фильма) включил «I'll Cry Instead» во вступительные кадры к фильму, когда переиздал его в 1981 году.
Структура песни
Синтия Леннон образно называет песню «криком помощи» Джона: «В песне отражается всё отчаяние, которое Джон испытывал в те дни. Став кумиром миллионов, он потерял свободу и радость, которые испытывал в юности». Джон Леннон впоследствии также говорил, что строка «A chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet» точно передавала чувства, которые он испытывал в то время.
Состав
Джон Леннон — вокал, акустическая гитара
Пол Маккартни — бас-гитара
Джордж Харрисон — соло-гитара
Ринго Старр — барабаны, тамбурин
Выпуски
В Великобритании:
Сокращённый вариант песни (1:49) вошёл в британскую версию альбома A Hard Day's Night, выпущенную лейблом Parlophone Records (PMC 1230 моно-версия и PC 3058 — стерео)
Песня вошла также в британский мини-альбом Extracts from the Album A Hard Day's Night (Parlophone GEP 8920, моно).
Сторона A сингла «I'll Cry Instead / I Call Your Name».
В США:
Расширенная версия (2:09) была выпущена в США под лейблом «United Artists Records» на альбоме-саундтреке A Hard Day's Night (UAL-3366 и UAS-6366 — повторно переизданная стерео-версия).
Песня вошла также в альбом Something New (Capitol Records)
Кавер-версии
Джо Кокер записал кавер-версию песни «I'll Cry Instead» в 1964 году. Это был его первый сингл.
Билли Джоэл исполнил песню на одном из своих «живых» концертов. Песня является «Б»-стороной сингла 1983 года — «An Innocent Man» ().

BkiUeffxK6-gD0SregRs | The results of the first ever U.S. government funded study of fluoride/IQ have now been published. A team of researchers funded by the National Institute of Environmental Sciences — part of the National Institutes of Health — found that low levels of fluoride exposure during pregnancy are linked to significantly reduced IQ in children, according to a study published on Sept. 19 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. This study took 12 years to complete and studied in utero exposure to fluoride.
We have all seen the funniest home videos of teenagers following wisdom tooth extraction. It really is not funny when you look at the fact that 4 out of 5 drug addictions (opioids) start with a prescription from a health care professional. In the case of wisdom tooth extraction, dentists are responsible for 12 percent of prescriptions for fast-acting opioids such as Vicodin and Percocet. This ranks third among all health care professionals.
Unfortunately, many of our youth were the unintended victims of this trap. This is the same rhetoric that we have heard from a vocal local dentist, that compassion for children is his motivation for imposing public water fluoridation for all. A recent article in the Journal of the American Dental Association quotes this dentist as saying that public water fluoridation was a goal of his before he retired. Just like opioids we must look at the most recent research and not rely on emotions and what appears to be a family legacy. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfJnxK0zjCsHeclRR | Hello everyone! My summer of maternity sewing continues at full steam, my closet steadily filling with stretchy, bump-friendly clothes. Most of these garments are pretty casual, summer tops and floaty tent dresses, but one special dress also made its way into my plans. Earlier this month, one of my best friends got married in an evening garden ceremony, saying her vows amongst sunflowers and lush bushes of roses. There was dancing and fantastic food and a moonlit stone villa in the background. How could I not make a fancy dress for such an occassion? You can't wear any old thing to that gorgeous of a wedding!
Unfortunately, being seven months pregnant doesn't always lend itself to sartorial elegance, especially in the summertime. My usual wedding guest fall backs, sheath dresses and fit-and-flare gowns, were absolutely out. Instead, I needed to be both chic and comfortable. Thank heavens for maxi dresses and rayon jersey! Take one beautiful print, a swishy skirt, and some interesting details, then–voila!–I had a maternity dress worthy of a night in the gardens.
My vision of this dress was something dramatic, but easy to wear. I used one of my favorite knit dress patterns, the Cashmerette Turner Dress, and tweaked the design to be more formal. This meant adding a long, gathered skirt with a deep hem, switching out the sleeves for a trendier cut-out design, and adjusting the bodice for my growing middle. Ideally, it would be a dark floral print that worked with the vibe of the wedding. Something summery, but still elegant. Mood Fabrics, of course, came through like a champ! This Italian Black and Red Floral Printed Jersey was exactly what I had in mind. The striated flowers and bright colors were just modern enough for this project, avoiding that animate upholstery look that can come with floral maxi dresses. Plus, I'd used its sister colorway, a more casual blue and green print, on an earlier dress and knew it was the right weight for a long dress.
While this rayon is soft and has a very fluid drape, it's also an easy knit to sew up. It presses well, doesn't curl up at the edges, and has enough stretch in both directions for a forgiving fit. Process wise, I pretty much invented the order of operations for this dress, picking and choosing my own favorite knit fabric techniques. The bodice is fully lined and the skirt was gently gathered with machine basting stitches, before everything was sewn together. I know that many people love gathering knits with elastic, but doing it by hand gives me more control over the final distribution.
To stabilize this fabric, which is especially important given the weight of a maxi dress, I did use clear elastic at the shoulders and waist. This prevents the fabric from stretching out and getting baggy, as you wear it. As a finishing touch, I bound the open sleeves with thin binding in the same fabric and took a deep hem. A larger hem gives the knit skirt more weight and lets it dance along, as you move. That's a key factor when you're actually planning on dancing!
This dress came together in a matter of hours, but looked right at home among the flowers and festivities of a summer wedding. Chic, dressed up, and cheerful–my favorite wedding guest outfit trifecta. Plus, it was 90 degrees outside and I stayed cool as a cucumber. That, my dears, is a Texas wedding coup! I've also worn this dress quite a bit, since the wedding. It might be a little dressed up for my average day, but it's also super comfortable and makes me feel glamorous. In the last trimester of pregnancy, those two things are hard to come by. I'm tempted to make another few maxi dresses before our little girl's due date in September, just so I can have a full rotation of swishy maternity dresses like this one. We'll see how it the spirit moves me, though, given everything else we need to get done before then.
I hope you're having a wonderful summer, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, and getting plenty of good sewing in! What are your secrets to dressing up for a summer event? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUddo4eIXh7gjUqKxK | The end of the partial government shutdown is over but all the underlying problems still remain. Can the differences, especially the funding of a border wall, be resolved in the next week? Don't count on it.
Immigration and border security issues are examples of too much demagoguery and too little knowledge. Ignorance on the issue is widespread and bipartisan. Public policy should be driven by the best available information. Let's look at what we know about unauthorized, or "illegal" immigrants.
Immigration is not the most pressing problem facing the country. Many other issues have more impact on more people's lives. Issues like the cost of healthcare, education, housing and the decline in family supporting jobs affect many people. Environmental problems and climate change are impacting everyone and will havesevere consequences in the future. Immigration and border "security" problems have practically no impact on the average American. Yet the government spends more on immigration enforcement than all other federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined.
There is no immigration "crisis" on the Mexican border. Neither is there any justification for using "emergency" powers to build a wall. We have had illegal immigrants since the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act first made people "illegal." Eleven million people, or about 3% if the population, are unauthorized immigrants. According to the Center for American Progress, the number of unauthorized Mexican immigrants entering the country peaked in 2007. Now more Mexican immigrants are going home than are entering the country. The majority (60%) of unauthorized immigrants are long-term residents of the United States. They work, pay taxes, go to school, raise families and contribute to the economy like the rest of us. Any claim that we are now, suddenly, in a "crisis" is ludicrous.
These neighbors are not "rapists and criminals." The Migration Policy Institute, has estimated that about 7% of unauthorized immigrants have been convicted of any crime and only 3% were felonies. By comparison about 6% of the general population are felons. The conservative Cato Institute says immigrants are considerably less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than the U.S. born population. The President is simply speaking from ignorance (or self-serving demagoguery) when he claims otherwise.
Many unauthorized immigrants are not sneaking across the southern border. The Center for Migration Studies says from 2007 to 2014, more unauthorized immigrants overstayed their temporary visas than crossed the Mexican boarder. Two-thirds of new unauthorized arrivals in 2014 entered the United States on legal non-immigrant visas. The Department of Homeland Security says Canada is the largest source of these unauthorized immigrants. They come from Mexico, Brazil, China, Korea, India, and European and African countries. A wall on the Mexican border will do nothing to stop any of these unauthorized immigrants.
The whole immigration debate is steeped in racism. This is why all the focus is on the Mexican border. This is why Canadian, Irish, Polish, Russian, and other European undocumented people are not being deported. ICE is deporting Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees from our war in SE Asia. We are deporting Hispanic U.S. military veterans who had been promised citizenship in return for their service. People of color from the Middle East or India get profiled and hassled. But most of the attention is on "Mexicans" on the southern border regardless of their country of origin. We need rational immigration policy based on actual facts and not ignorant tweets or campaign rally chants. We need comprehensive reform. We need more rational foreign policy and trade policy. Real border security comes from good relations with your neighbors based on respect and fairness.
All of us can help by taking Thomas Jefferson's advise and becoming an "educated citizenry." Then we can hold our elected representatives accountable for their ignorance.

The middle-note scent of black pepper oil is spicy, peppery, musky, and warm with herbaceous undertones. It has an odor intensity of about three out of five. Blending companions include lavender, frankincense, rosemary, florals, woods, and spices. Black pepper oil is warming and digestive, acting as a circulatory stimulant; it is also an antispasmodic and an antiseptic. For emotional well-being, the oil is used to develop mental alertness and enhance stamina for mentally and emotionally draining situations; it is often used to remove energy blockages and boost courage or to promote mental and emotional drive. Black pepper is the unripe peppercorn; white pepper is the ripe fruit with the outer pericarp removed.
Black pepper is a perennial vine reaching a height of 20 feet or more (5 m). The small white flowers are followed by red berries which become black when mature. Although the plant is native to south-west India, it is extensively cultivated in Malaysia, China and Madagascar. The oil is distilled in Europe and the USA from imported dried fruits.
Steam distillation of the dried fruits (peppercorns).
A pale, greenish-yellow liquid, with a hot, spicy, piquant aroma. Its odour effect is stimulating and warming; a reputed aphrodisiac.

The Pepper used in medicine is that produced by the Piper nigrum. It contains resin, a volatile essence, an acrid oil, a coloring matter, starch, cellulose, albumin, malic acid, tartaric acid, mineral salts, a crystallizable principle and piperine.
Applied to the skin, pepper produces rubefaction and even vesication and has a similar effect on the stomach and intestinal glands. An injection gives a feeling of warmth, increases the appetite and fortifies the digestive system. It is sometimes associated with cinnamon in cures for migraine. It seems also to have anti-blennorrhagic properties.
If ever there has been a cure-all remedy in popular medicine, it is the dried berry of the pepper tree (Piper nigrum), native to the eastern tropics. It is the oldest trade item from the Orient. It has been used not only as a cure for everything from toothache to catalepsy, but also as a preventive drug for bloody dysentery, scarlet fever, smallpox, leprosy, typhus, cholera and the bubonic plague or the Black Death.
*Note: Bianca Rosa® Black Pepper Pure Essential is not to be taken internally.
Other Names: Poivre (French); Pfeffer (German); pepe (Italian); pimienta (Spanish).
Description: An evergreen perennial climber (up to 5 m) with bright green, heart-shaped leaves. It bears clusters of small flowers and small spherical fruits that turn red when they ripen. Several other Piper species are medicinally interesting. The leaves of betel vine (P. betle) of Indo-Malaysia are wrapped around betel palm nuts (Areca catechu) to make a traditional stimulant masticatory. Cubebs or Java pepper represents the fruits of P. cubeba of Indonesia, a digestive medicine and expectorant. It contains antiseptic volatile oil that is used in aromatherapy. Leaves of matico (P. angustifolium = P. elongatum) of South America are used as diuretic, urinary tract disinfectant, anti-diarrhoeal, and externally for skin complaints and haemorrhoids. See also kava (P. methysticum).
Origin: Southern India (Malabar coast - used as a spice since antiquity). Pepper is now cultivated in most tropical parts of the world.
Parts Used: Fruits ("peppercorns"). Green pepper is the whole fresh berry; frozen or preserved. White pepper is the fully mature fruits from which the outer fleshy layers had been removed before drying (Piper albi fructus). Black pepper is the almost mature, complete berries, dried and separated from their stalks (Piper nigri fructus).
Uses and Properties: Black pepper is an import item in Ayurvedic medicine. It stimulates the digestive system and may be used against nausea, dyspeptic complaints and lack of appetite. The essential oil is used topically to treat toothache, rheumatic pains and ectoparasites.
Preparation and Dosage: Internally: 0.3 - 0.6 g; maximally 1.5 g per day.
Active Ingredients: Pepper contains an essential oil (up to 3.5%) and 5-10% pungent acid-amides (pseudoalkaloids), with piperine as main compound and several others (e.g. piperyline, piperoleines and piperamine). The sharp smell is due to essential oil which contains mainly sabinene, pinene, phellandrene, linalool and limonene. Long pepper (P. longum) has similar constituents.
Pharmacological Effects: Piperine has known CNS depressant and anticonvulsive effects. Pepper is antimicrobial and can stimulate both the digestive system (cholagogue) and the circulatory system. Piperine shows insecticidal properties.
Use in the lowest concentrations as it may irritate skin. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUbZ05qU2Ap15jcmMr | Cyrrhus (; Kyrrhos) is a city in ancient Syria founded by Seleucus Nicator, one of Alexander the Great's generals. Other names for the city include Coricium, Corice, Hagioupolis, Nebi Huri (), and Khoros (حوروس Ḳūrus). A false etymology of the sixth century connects it to Cyrus, king of Persia due to the resemblance of the names. The former Roman/Byzantine (arch)bishopric is now a double Catholic titular see.
Location
Its ruins are located in northern Syria, near the Turkish border.
It lies about 70 km northwest of Aleppo and 24 km west of Killis, in Turkey. Cyrrhus was the capital of the extensive district of Cyrrhestica, between the plain of Antioch and Commagene.
The site of the city is marked by the ruins at Khoros, 20 km from Azaz, Syria, standing near the Afrin Marsyas River, a tributary of the Orontes, which had been banked up by Bishop Theodoret.
History
The Cyrrhus in Syria was founded by Seleucus Nicator shortly after 300 BC, and was named after the Macedonian city of Cyrrhus. Andronicus of Cyrrhus built the Tower of the Winds in Athens.
It was taken by the Armenian Empire in the 1st century BC, then became Roman when Pompey took Syria in 64 BC. By the 1st century AD, it had become a Roman administrative, military, and commercial center on the trade route between Antioch and the Euphrates River crossing at Zeugma, and minted its own coinage. It was the base of the Roman legion Legio X Fretensis. The Sassanid Persian Empire took it several times during the 3rd century.
In the 6th century, the city was embellished and fortified by Byzantine Emperor Justinian. It was however taken by the Muslims in 637 and known at that time under the name of Qorosh and later by the Crusaders in the 11th century. Nur ad-Din Zangi recaptured it in 1150. Muslim travelers of the 13th and 14th century report it both as a large city and as largely in ruins.
Archaeology
The city has been excavated by the Lebanese Syrian Archaeological Mission of Cyrrhus. Initial results indicate a square layout with Hippodamian grid road plan and a central main road with Colonnades typical of the Hellenistic east . The road layout seems to have survived until into the Islamic times.
Remains in Cyrrhus include two Roman Bridge s in working order, a dilapidated theatre outside the town and foundations of a Basilica church and some city fortifications.
In the 6th century a Byzantine citadel was built on the top of the hill behind the theatre. with evidence of Greek and Egyptian influences in the design work.
This citadel is still largely unexcavated.
Temple of Zeus: The exact date of the city's construction is unknown, as it is attributed to the period of the reign of Seleucus Nicator (312 - 280) BC. Given the importance of the city's location, large military forces were stationed there whose subordination to a city is unknown, and perhaps it was independent of itself. Coins were minted during this period and it was also an important center for the worship of the two gods, Athena, the protector of the great land, and Zeus (the god of the thunderbolt). It is believed that the temple of Zeus stood on top of the mountain next to the city. Syros became a frontier city after the separation of Asia Minor from the Seleucid state, following the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC, which lost its civilian importance and became a center for assembling armies and securing the strong soldiers of the kings of Antioch. In the year 83 BC, controlled by the king of Armenia, Tigran the Great, chaos spread in its area, until the Romans recaptured it in the year 69 BC.
Ecclesiastical history
Cyrrhus became a Christian bishopric at an early date, a suffragan of Hierapolis Bambyce, capital and metropolitan see of the Roman province of Euphratensis. Under Justinian, it became an autocephalous ecclesiastical metropolis subject directly to the Patriarch of Antioch but without suffragans. Its bishop Syricius was present at the First Council of Nicaea in 325. The Arian Abgar (Latinized as Abgarus or Augarus) was at the Council of Seleucia (360). Theodoret mentions as another Arian a bishop called Asterius of the time of the Roman Emperor Valens (364–378). Isidorus attended the First Council of Constantinople in 381. The most celebrated of the bishops of Cyrrhus is Theodoret himself (423-458), a prolific writer, well known for his rôle in the history of Nestorianism, Eutychianism, and Marcionism. He tells us that his small diocese (about forty miles square) contained 800 churches, which supposes a very dense population. In 476, a bishop named Ioannes held a synod against Peter the Fuller. At the close of that century the bishop was a Nestorian named Sergius, who was replaced by another of the same name who was of the directly opposite theological opinion, being a Jacobite, and was deposed by Emperor Justin I in 518. Michael the Syrian lists 13 other Jacobite bishops of the see.
A magnificent basilica held the relics of Saints Cosmas and Damian, who had suffered martyrdom in the vicinity about 283, and whose bodies had been transported to the city, whence it was also called Hagioupolis. Many holy personages, moreover, chiefly hermits, had been or were then living in this territory, among them Saints Acepsimas, Zeumatius, Zebinas, Polychronius, Maron (the patron of the Maronite Church), Eusebius, Thalassius, Maris, James the Wonder-worker, and others. Bishop Theodoret devoted an entire work to the illustration of their virtues and miracles.
Residential (Arch)Bishops of Cyrrhus
The city was taken in the early 11th century by the Crusaders who made new Bishopric, dependent on Edessa under the name Coricié.
Titular sees
No longer a residential bishopric, Cyrrhus is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see, in two different rite-specific traditions, in the apostolic succession of the Byzantine archdiocese.

This sounds amazing Peter! I want to get some for my husband. I know his hairline bothers him but he won't look into natural supplements. I am going to show him your review.
How did the stomach feel? I experienced some pain and nausea after the second day so I stopped taking it. I am not sure if it is me or the pills.
I wanted to like it because I felt my hair looked better but it just was not giving me new growth and I can't afford to keep paying for it. I will try my luck with something else.
I noticed growth in the 4th week but it was very fine. I stuck it out for 4 months and now I am seeing a thicker part in my hair. My hair has also grown so much over all.
HOW LONG TILL I SEE GROWTH? I HAVE BEEN ON HAIR AGAIN FOR 7 WEEKS AND NO NEW HAIR. STILL VERY BALD ON TOP. ANYONE KNOW!?

BkiUberxK3xgpfY9decg | Bradley Cooper Doesn't Get DNC Uproar: Obama Was 'An Incredible President'
Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper addressed the uproar over his appearance at the Democratic convention on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden.'
Matt Wilstein
Why were Republicans so upset that Bradley Cooper attended the Democratic National Convention? As the American Sniper star explained on The Late Late Show Tuesday night, he doesn't quite get it either.
Cooper, who said he still lives part-time in his childhood home in Philadelphia, told James Corden that he took his mother to hear President Obama speak on night three of the DNC. "It was unbelievable," he said of Obama's address. As for the barrage of news stories that came after cameras caught him in the audience, Cooper said, "I was not expecting that."
"Republicans were up in arms that I was there watching the president speak," Cooper continued, struggling to figure out why that should be an issue.
Corden's other guest, Todd Phillips, who directed Cooper in The Hangover films, explained that it was because Cooper played conservative hero Chris Kyle in American Sniper, "which is like the mob being mad at De Niro for being in The Intern."
"To be there, it was probably one of the last times we'll hear him speak," Cooper added of Obama. "I think he was an incredible president. I was really excited."
Despite his Oscar-nominated role in American Sniper, a rare Hollywood hit among conservatives, Cooper has been a longtime supporter of President Obama and Democrats. Most notably, he has said he played a key role in arranging Obama's 2014 appearance on Between Two Ferns.
It was during a state dinner at the White House that Cooper called his Hangover co-star Zach Galifianakis to ask him about getting the president on the show. "He thought I was joking, obviously," Cooper told Howard Stern last year. But when all was said and done, the video got more than 35 million views and was credited with giving Obamacare the sign-up boost it needed. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

About the Assessment Finder
Note: The assessment finder is no longer being updated, effective October 2020.
Competency Categories
The assessments reviewed cover a broad range of social, emotional, and academic competencies that go by a variety of names. Several frameworks have been developed to organize these competencies. The team organized the competencies based on a framework described in a 2012 National Research Council Report which specified three broad categories. In addition, we classified each measure using a taxonomy developed by Stephanie Jones and colleagues at the EASEL Lab at Harvard University that includes competency names drawn from all of the major frameworks, and initial searches in the Assessment Finder include all measures that have the same classification.
CASEL AWG and the RAND Education Assessment Finder
The RAND Education Assessment Finder is complemented by the SEL Assessment Guide, developed by the SEL Assessment Work Group (AWG). Both tools both help practitioners learn about measures of social and emotional learning, but they differ in several important ways. The RAND Education Assessment Finder includes measures of interpersonal (i.e., social), intrapersonal (i.e., emotional), and higher-order cognitive competencies, whereas the AWG SEL Assessment Guide includes only the first two of those three categories. In addition, the RAND Education Assessment Finder is intended to provide information about a wide range of measures that have been developed for research purposes as well as for use in practice, including information on the validity and reliability evidence associated with each measure. The SEL Assessment Guide, in comparison, is narrowed to just those measures currently being administered in schools and districts, and it focuses on how the measures can be used instructionally by practitioners.

BkiUbjQ5qU2Ap2Ipcv8H | Eureka! Entertainment have announced the release of the first-ever Best Picture Academy Award (Oscar) winner, Wings, starring the exquisite early-Hollywood actress Clara Bow and from the director of such golden-era classics as The Public Enemy, Beau Geste, and Track of the Cat, William A. Wellman.
Forever granted a place in cinematic history by winning the first ever Academy Award for Best Picture in 1927 and the only silent film to do so, William Wellman's silent epic Wings is more than an Oscar winner, it's an epic story of friendship with the type of thrilling action only practical effects can imagine.
Hometown best friends Jack (Charles "Buddy" Rogers) and David (Richard Arlen) compete for the affection of a gorgeous dame (Jobyna Ralston), though Jack doesn't realise that girl next door Mary Preston (Clara Bow) has eyes for him as well. But World War I is soon upon them, so the boys are off to France to fight against the Germans. Meanwhile, Mary follows Jack into enemy lines as a nurse.
Wellman's epic drama combines the most spectacular of stunts with the most classical of melodrama, along with one of Bow's greatest performances and the screen debut of Gary Cooper.
Wings will be released on UK dual format (Blu-ray and DVD) on 27th January 2014 by Eureka! Entertainment as part of the Masters of Cinema series at the RRP of £19.99.
40-page booklet featuring a new essay on the film by critic Gina Telaroli; excerpts from a vintage interview with Wellman; a 1930 profile of stuntmen from the film; a vintage piece on the production of the film; personal anecdotes from Wellman; rare archival imagery; and more! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUb6HxK7Tt6AlxCk_v | Christine Morse of Ober|Kaler's Health Law Group co-presented the webinar entitled, "340B Programs in Disproportionate Share Hospitals: What to Expect and How to Cope With Inquiries from HRSA, Manufacturers, and Senator Grassley."
Recent developments in the 340B Drug Discount Program have raised concerns regarding compliance with 340B Program requirements. Disproportionate Share Hospitals have born the brunt of the attention both from the government and the drug manufacturers. HRSA continues to audit covered entities; Senator Grassley continues to engage DSH hospitals in North Carolina; and manufacturers have stepped up their own audits of covered entities. As a result, many DSH hospitals will need to evaluate their 340B programs to ensure compliance and prepare themselves in the event of an audit or inquiry. This webinar will focus on the differences between these types of audits and how to prepare for them.

BkiUbGE5qoTDtozcqUaC | WASHINGTON (August 28, 2018)—Today the Humane Society Legislative Fund, the nation's leading political advocacy organization for animal welfare, announced its endorsement of Peter King for New York's 2nd Congressional District..
Rep. Peter King received a score of "83" on HSLF's 2017 Humane Scorecard, cosponsoring a wide range of animal protection legislation, while voting against bills that would dismantle existing protections for animals. Rep. King has helped lead efforts to protect wild horses, end wildlife trafficking, and crack down on the ivory trade in annual funding legislation. He also voted for an amendment to the Farm Bill that would clearly extend current animal fighting prohibitions to all U.S. jurisdictions, including the U.S. territories (H.Amdt. 630).
"Rep. Peter King has been a consistent advocate for animals in Congress," said Sara Amundson, president of the Humane Society Legislative Fund. "The Humane Society Legislative Fund is pleased to announce our support, and we encourage voters in New York's 2nd Congressional District to back his re-election."
In addition to his voting record, Rep. Peter King is a member of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, a bipartisan organization committed to raising awareness of animal welfare issues in Congress.
Cosponsored the Prevent All Soring Tactics Act (H.R. 1847) to strengthen the federal law against the "soring" of Tennessee Walking horses in shows—using caustic chemicals and other painful substances to injure the horses' hooves and legs to induce a high-stepping gait.
Cosponsored the Pet and Women Safety Act (H.R. 909) to protect the human and animal survivors of domestic violence and support the work of domestic violence shelters to accommodate pets.
Cosponsored the Prevent Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (H.R. 1494) to make malicious animal cruelty a crime on federal property and in interstate commerce, and complement the state anti-cruelty laws.
Cosponsored the Safeguard American Food Exports Act (H.R. 113) to prohibit the slaughter and export of horses for human consumption overseas.
Cosponsored the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (H.R. 1456) to prohibit the trade of shark fins, for which sharks are hunted and their maimed bodies returned to the ocean.
Coponsored the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2017 (H.R. 1406) to prohibit the domestic slaughter, trade and import of dogs and cats for human consumption.
Voted against H.J. Res. 69, a Congressional Review Act resolution to revoke a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule that prohibits specific egregiously cruel and unsporting hunting methods on more than 76 million acres of National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska.
Voted against a harmful rider (H.Amdt. 351) that sought to block regulations that prohibit scientifically unjustified and cruel methods of trophy hunting on over 20 million acres of National Park Service lands in Alaska, including killing hibernating black bear mothers and cubs and shooting caribou while they are swimming and defenseless. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The elimination of routine radiographic views that do not provide additional information serves to reduce the patient's radiation exposure and improve cost-effectiveness. Few studies have looked at the effectiveness of performing additional oblique views of extremities in trauma cases. De Smet and colleagues evaluated how often oblique views revealed abnormalities that were not seen on frontal or lateral views in patients who suffered trauma to extremities.
The study was a prospective review of 1,461 consecutive radiographic examinations of the distal extremities in patients presenting with acute trauma in four family practice centers. The sites included the ankle, foot, toe, wrist, hand, fingers and thumb. The views included standard anteroposterior or posteroanterior, lateral, mortise and oblique views of the injured extremity. Each examination was interpreted by a radiologist and given a diagnostic certainty score using only the frontal and lateral views. Another certainty score was then performed adding the oblique view.
Of the 1,461 examinations performed during the study, 421 (28.8 percent) were interpreted as abnormal using all three views. The addition of the oblique view changed the interpretation in 70 (4.8 percent) of the examinations. Thirty-nine were changed from equivocal to positive or negative, three from positive to negative and 28 from negative to positive. The diagnostically uncertain cases were reduced from 13.9 to 8.4 percent. The oblique view was equally valuable in all the extremities studied.
The authors conclude that the addition of oblique views in examinations of distal extremities involved in acute trauma can reveal more abnormalities and increase confidence in the final diagnostic interpretation. This additional view adds minimal cost but decreases the chance of missing bony injuries in acute trauma to the extremities.

BkiUdVPxaKPQosiZmYAH | Syria, "a festering wound that collects the worst bacteria in the world," is largely responsible for the strength of groups like ISIS, former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia – Iraq's neighbor and regional Sunni power – believes that will never happen, but is nonetheless sounding the alarm.
One would be hard-pressed to find a political leader or even battlefield commander who will tell you that Iraq's crisis can be resolved without a political solution, and Saudi Arabia is no exception.
The Kingdom is clearly no fan of ISIS, but also has "great distaste," as Amanpour put it, for the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shiite.
Amanpour asked al-Faisal to clarify.
Meanwhile in Syria, al-Faisal seemed to suggest that ISIS's rise was proof that there should have been more forceful intervention early in the conflict.
This is a blunt spinoff by the Saudi's to take no responsibility of what they have done in Syria. ISIS was created by the Saudi's with help from Turkey. Follow the trail of money and support. Money came from Saudi's and logistical support from Turkey. Medias show how fighter land in Hatay and given money , uniform and AK47 and sent to Syria. Saudi's intent is to remove Asaad and Maliki at any cost as they are both Iran friendly. Al-Faisal is trying to remove Saudi's traces from the bloodshed. They provided all the money and logistical support to ISIS, Jabhat-Al Nusra adn other groups who as brutal killers as ISIS. This interview is a lie and propaganda. The cover up has started as they know they will not win in Syria at least.
Forces like ISIS are easier to create than to contain and control. At some stage, they turn upon their masters.
when Saudis will pay for their crimes against humanity. Behind every terrorist act Saudi money. This man is a liar and terrorist supporter. He called saudi imbecile terrorists as volunteers.
It is clear now that the only way to stop the Saudis is to show them some US teeth. I mean, openly and publicly threaten the Saudis for example by parking a couple aircraft carriers in the Gulf and in the Red Sea. The US should also threaten with oil sanctions, including a threat to remove them from SWIFT, just like it was done with Iran.
It is past time to force the hand of those Saudi lunatics – they are the real heretics.
Mark, It is baby talk, You don't see the larger picture. Saudi & Americans are worlds biggest terrorists working neck to neck. The world will be a peaceful place once the world stops relying on fossil fuel.
Sounds these commenters are the humble pawns of Evil regime Iran. You stupids, you'd better understand, no matter what, Assad's slaughter caused ISIS, and whatever you insist on your rotten visionary ideas you will see more terrible results.
Mostly disturbing in this situation is the lack of decisiveness in the middle-east about taking united steps against a common threat.
The Saoudi, Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain air forces are all well equipped to take action. Especially if supported by international intelligence under UN flag they are very capable to deal with ISIS.
Then there is also Iran and Turkey, both also capable military.
Most of all, these are all local countries, from the middle-east. Then why should a strange force like the US have the obligation to protect Iraqi and Syrian citizens? The first obligation is to those who stand close by, and do have the means to act against it.
The lack of unity between the Arab nations, Iran and Turkey is to blame on much of the troubles in the region.
And then there is Israel. An all different story and a misfit in my opinion. It does not contribute to anything but their own security and wealth. | c4 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 |

Look, I'm not going to lie. Going into Wednesday's Champions League match between Red Star and Tottenham Hotspur in Belgrade, I was worried. It's not just that Tottenham have been terrible lately — they have — but also because the Marakana Stadium is known for being one of the most intimidating atmospheres in Europe. Liverpool came here exactly one year ago in the group stage of their title-winning campaign... and lost 2-0.
So to see Spurs roll out to a comprehensive 4-0 win over the Serbians on the road, their first road win in any competition this season, and following up their 5-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, was both relieving and encouraging. Giovani Lo Celso scored his first ever goal in a Tottenham shirt, Son Heung-Min added a brace, and Christian Eriksen added the (highly deflected) cherry on top.
Here are four things we learned about Tottenham Hotspur from this win in Belgrade.
Juan Foyth looks like he could be the real deal at right back
Unless you've managed to somehow tune in to watch Argentina play during the past couple of international breaks, this is the first time that we've had the opportunity to see Juan Foyth play in his new role at right back. While the sample size is small and the competition was pretty poor, there's a lot of reason to be excited. Foyth was calm and composed with the ball at his feet in Belgrade, completing 94% of his passes and serving as a nice outlet for Davinson Sanchez and Lo Celso.
He's not the fleetest of foot and he still needs more time to develop his offensive moves — he was only 2/6 on his take-ons and didn't have a successful cross in this match. That's okay. He's a converted center back, and these skills take time. What he didn't show was the poor decision making that marred his early appearances for Spurs. He has good defensive instincts and looks like he wants the ball at his feet.
I don't know if he's THE answer for Spurs at right back this season, but I'm more convinced now that he's AN answer. Now that he's finally healthy, I'd like to see more of Juan at right back against Premier League competition.
Spurs' new signings are justifying their price tags
When Ryan Sessegnon came in as a late substitute in the second half, it marked the first time that all three of Tottenham's summer signings were on the pitch at the same time this season. Sessegnon, Giovani Lo Celso, and Tanguy Ndombele were all astute signings that addressed positions of need in Spurs' roster, but thanks to injuries it's taken until now to see all of them on the pitch and rounding into form.
Ndombele was again a revelation in Belgrade, driving forward with the ball and showing his range of passing options, though he had one awful hospital ball that nearly led to a Red Star goal in the second half. Even with that gaffe, he was outstanding in possession, full of progressive passes, strength in possession and lots of little tricks and spins that on occasion made me gasp.
Ndombele linked up especially well with Lo Celso, who made his first start for Spurs, and who buzzed pleasantly around the right side of the pitch. Lo Celso had two key passes and one scrappy goal from the first half "Benny Hill" sequence but also went close on a second occasion late in the match. Even Sessegnon got in on the action, providing the assist to Eriksen for Spurs' fourth.
Red Star were real bad, especially when they were forced to open up and play football in the second half, but part of the reason Spurs have shown this early season malaise comes from using the same aging, declining squad they had last season. The inclusion of quality new blood makes everyone better, and while it's fair to say that none of the three new boys have hit their stride yet, their performances make fans want to see more of them on the pitch. Spurs will continue to get better as long as they continue to play.
Sonny's going to be just fine
Any concerns that Spurs fans might have had about Son Heung-Min after the horrifying injury to Everton's Andre Gomes at the weekend should be put aside now. Sonny may not be his bubbly, vivacious self quite yet, but that hasn't prevented him from playing a very good football match.
Sonny scored a brace in Belgrade, and both of his goals were well taken. After his first, which he fired into the roof of the net after an assist from Tanguy Ndombele, he didn't even celebrate, instead looking at the camera and seeming to apologize to Gomes. His second goal was just as good, poking home a lovely cross from Danny Rose.
What happened with Gomes is something that Sonny's going to have to live with for a long time and I'm sure that he feels no shortage of guilt for his role in the injury. But this match shows that he can put that aside and do his job even when he feels sad. A Champions League brace didn't put a smile on his face, but hopefully it'll help lift him out of the dumps.
Spurs' magic number is two
This was an important win for Tottenham's Champions League campaign. Bayern Munich clinched progression out of the group stage, as expected, with a win over Olympiacos, but with the win over Red Star, Spurs cut their "magic number" to two. Basically, beat Olympiacos at home in their next match and they're in, but even if they draw there's still a very good chance that they can slip out of the group, if Red Star drops further points.
FiveThirtyEight has Spurs with a 92% chance of qualifying for the group stages (and a 2% chance of winning it all!). Considering how the season has gone that's about as much as you can ask for. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Heavy winter rains flood into Menindee Lakes in October 2016. Photo Nick Moir.
River management data exclusive to this publication has revealed how floodwaters from 2016 where distributed down the Darling River.
Last week a mass fish kill event (see below for detail on how the event unfolded) occurred in an isolated pool in parched Darling River downstream of Menindee Lakes.
Locals have said water should have been held in storage to provide a fresh inflow of sweet water from Menindee Lakes, which would have provided a lifeline to suffocating fish.
An unusual winter flood in 2016 pumped into Menindee Lake, filling it to 94 per cent capacity. But by December 2017 most of that water had either dried up, or been released downstream.
The Barwon Darling, which feeds Menindee Lakes, is an interesting and challenging river system to manage.
Most of the water doesn't it make it from the headwaters in Queensland into the water storages of Menindee Lakes.
Evaporation and seepage losses, and irrigation take (which averages 20pc of flows in the past 10 years) take their toll.
For example, in 2016, 7800 gigalitres of inflows flooded through the system and 1900GL made it into the lakes.
What are the Menindee Lakes?
The Menindee Lakes are a natural, ephemeral system which were engineered into a regulated water storage system in the 1960s.
At that time, interstate water sharing arrangements were put in place that mandated water sharing between NSW upstream and Victoria and South Australia downstream.
They state that when the volume of water in Menindee Lakes exceeds 640GL,a federal agency, the Murray Darling Basin Authority, manages the water releases for all jurisdictions.
The water is released to water downstream reaches of the river, provide a catalyst for native fish-breeding and to refresh the Lower Lakes in South Australia.
The MDBA retains control until there is less than 480GL in the lakes - which is considered a reserve amount and control reverts to NSW.
Lower Darling River grazier Rob McBride said Menindee Lakes water was mismanaged, referring to the releases in 2017, and previous releases in 2014 which also occurred after heavy rain.
"We have to get to the bottom of who drained the lakes twice in four years," Mr McBride said.
How did the Darling River get to this point?
In mid-2016, as the lakes filled above the 640GL trigger, the MDBA took control.
The MDBA's policy can be described as 'use it or lose it'. High evaporation rates from Menindee Lakes are the guiding factor for its management regime.
"Unfortunately, it just makes most sense to use the water in the system that evaporates the most," said MDBA chief executive Phillip Glyde.
Blue-green algae flourished as daytime atmospheric temperatures reached above 40 degrees Celsius.
Then a sudden cold front came through, dropped around 15 millimetres of rain and the temperature by 15 degrees.
The sudden shift killed the algae and bacteria that break down algae went to work eating the dead organic matter and in the process chewed up the oxygen in the water, creating a hypoxic environment and effectively suffocating the fish stuck in the isolated river pools. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUes_xK7kjXJwSSVGT | General Louis-François Lejeune
Aide-de-camp to Marshal Berthier known for his detailed and accurate paintings
Place of Birth: Strasbourg, Bas-Rhin, France
Legion of Honor: Grand Officer
Imperial Nobility: Baron
Died: February 26, 1848
Place of Death: Toulouse, France
Arc de Triomphe: LEJEUNE on the east pillar
Known for his paintings and memoirs, Louis-François Lejeune served much of his career as an aide-de-camp to Marshal Berthier. His first military service came in August of 1792 when Lejeune became a soldier in the Company of Arts of Paris, and the next month he left for Châlons with the Arsenal battalion. A promotion to sous-lieutenant came quickly, and Lejeune went on to serve in the Army of the North and the Army of the Center.
In 1793 Lejeune transferred to the artillery and was promoted to lieutenant in the staff of the Army of the North. The next year he joined the Army of the Sambre and Meuse and served at the siege of Quesnoy where he was wounded by a piece of wood hitting him in the chest after an explosion. Lejeune went on to become an aide-de-camp to General Jacob and then served at the crossing of the Ourthe where he was shot in the thigh.
Lejeune transferred to the engineers in 1795 and during that year he worked on the camp of Grimlinghausen near Dusseldorf. The next year he supervised the building of three bridges over the Rednitz River when the army was retreating, and he later fortified Juliers. In 1798 Lejeune was appointed to the committee of fortifications and then in 1800 he was promoted to capitaine and aide-de-camp to General Berthier, serving in the Army of the Reserve. During the years of peace that followed, he was posted to the staff of the of the 1st military division.
When war broke out in 1805, Lejeune continued his duties as an aide-de-camp of Marshal Berthier. After taking part in the campaign of that year, he received a promotion to chef de bataillon. In 1806 while he was traveling in Germany he met the Senefelder brothers who invented lithography, and he subsequently brought the technique back to France. Lejeune continued to serve on Berthier's staff for the campaigns in Prussia and Poland of 1806 and 1807, and in 1807 he served at the Siege of Danzig .
In 1808 Lejeune was sent to Spain where he distinguished himself at the siege of Saragossa, but not without cost. He was wounded twice during the siege, once during the assault on the convent of Saint-Augustin and once during the assault on the convent of Santa-Engracia. Followed his service at Saragossa, Lejeune was promoted to colonel and rejoined Berthier in the Army of Germany for the Danube campaign of 1809. After taking part in the Battle of Aspern-Essling , Lejeune was sent to the Tyrol to fight against Andreas Hofer, but he returned to the Imperial staff in time to take part in the Battle of Wagram . Later that year he was created a Knight of Saint Leopold of Hungary, and the following year he became a Baron of the Empire.
In 1811 Colonel Lejeune was sent on a mission to Spain, but that April he and his escort were attacked by a large force of guerrillas near Toledo. Lejeune's dragoon escort fought to the death, his horse received thirty blows and was killed, and he was wounded and knocked to the ground, expecting to die too. The guerrillas stood over the wounded Lejeune and took aim at his chest but each time they pulled the trigger, their muskets misfired. Despite his wounds, Lejeune didn't quit fighting, he seized the moment and grabbed the barrel of one of their muskets and tried to fight off his enemies. Finally the guerrilla leader arrived and upon realizing the Lejeune was a colonel he ordered his men to not kill Lejeune.1
Lejeune was taken prisoner and transported to where a few other French prisoners were held. As the band of guerrillas decided to move, they learned of the hanging of two fellow guerrillas on the order of a French general. Wanting revenge, they prepared to hang Lejeune and his fellow prisoners, but were distracted by the sounds of gunfire in the distance. As the guerrillas went to investigate, they attacked and came upon a French courier and his escort, and slaughtered them all. With their bloodlust satisfied, Lejeune and his fellow prisoners were spared.2
Given Lejeune's high rank, he was sent to Cadiz before being sent to Portugal and finally England. After residing in England for a short time, Lejeune and a comrade escaped custody and made their way back to France that July.
Lejeune resumed his duties as aide-de-camp to Marshal Berthier for the campaign against Russia in 1812. After serving at the Battle of Borodino, Lejeune was named the chief of staff of Marshal Davout's I Corps after the death of the previous chief of staff, General Romeuf. A few weeks later, Lejeune received a promotion to général de brigade. During the retreat from Russia that followed, his face was badly frostbitten and in December he left the army without authorization to return to France to recover.
Due to Lejeune's lack of authorization to return to France, in February of 1813 he was arrested and imprisoned in l'Abbaye. However, within a few weeks he was released, and then in May he was named chief of staff of Oudinot's XII Corps. While fighting at Wurschen that May, he was wounded by a fall from a horse. At the end of August, Lejeune took command of the 3rd Brigade of Durutte's division in VII Corps, and in September he fought at Dennewitz. In the meantime he was named a Commander of the Military Order of Maximilien-Joseph of Bavaria. Lejeune was still commanding a brigade when he fought at Hanau at the end of October where a piece of an exploding shell hit him in the forehead, badly wounding him and bringing an end to his military career.
Lejeune retired and received a pension, and after Napoleon's abdication he was named a Knight of Saint Louis by the returning Bourbons. He devoted much of the rest of his life to art, painting numerous portraits and scenes of battles with an eye for detail. In 1821 Lejeune married Marie-Adèle-Amable Clary, a niece of the Clary sisters, and he therefore became a nephew by marriage to both former Marshal Bernadotte and Joseph Bonaparte. Lejeune went on to become the Director of the School of Fine Arts of Toulouse.

BkiUbfnxK5YsWV5L2Y2Q | Q: How can I call a swig python function when a parameter is using typedef int I have a C++ API I'm trying to wrap in Python.There is a function Foo(TAPIINT32 &iResult) with typedef int TAPIINT32 in header file.When I use:
a=0
mymodule.Foo(a)
in python to call it,I get an error as "TypeError: in method 'Foo', argument 1 of type 'TAPIINT32 &'".Is anybody could help with this?Many thanks!
A: SWIG needs to be told when parameters are outputs and has pre-existing typemaps to help. Here's an example:
api.h
typedef int TAPIINT32;
void Foo(TAPIINT32& iResult);
api.cpp
#include "api.h"
void Foo(TAPIINT32& iResult)
{
iResult = 5;
}
api.i
%module api
%{
#include "api.h"
%}
%include <windows.i>
%apply int* OUTPUT {TAPIINT32t&};
%include "api.h"
The %apply command tells SWIG to apply an existing typemap to the indicated type. In this case, the pre-existing int* OUTPUT typemap is applied to all TAPIINT32& parameters. Note that the OUTPUT typemap suppresses the need for passing a parameter, and returns it as an additional return value instead.
Output:
>>> import api
>>> api.Foo()

BkiUdDM5qoYAn-0Sl0mJ | Half a typewritten page -- triple spaced -- would hold all the lines spoken by a buff, squared- jawed warrior named Todd in "Soldier," blasting into Bay Area theaters today.
And that's OK. Action is everything in this sinewy, visually impressive sci-fi military adventure starring Kurt Russell, a block of muscles and popping veins. The futuristic film has an engaging scrap-heap look -- the story's set in a waste dump on a small planet in the coming millennium.
Russell may be the only actor in Hollywood who refuses to allow either humor or irony to interfere with his sweaty game.
Soldier Todd is a supermilitary man trained from birth to be a dispassionate, calculating killer. Men, women and children are all objects of annihilation if they contravene the military objective.
Todd has served in many wars, earning scars and tattoos. But technology marches on, and one day he and his kind are replaced by a new breed of DNA-engineered killers even more remorseless. The best is the shaved-headed Caine (Jason Scott Lee).
Left for dead on a distant planet after a fight with the next-generation killers, Todd is rescued by a ragtag group of peace-minded cast- offs (ethnically diverse, too) who believe in family and community. The only sign of Todd's humanity surfaces when he encounters a beautiful woman (Connie Nielsen), who helps nurse his wounds -- that silly old Hollywood trick, macho man tended by nurturing woman.
Having lived an apparently sexless life, Todd keeps staring at the woman, Sandra, with a touch of puppy love in his steely blue eyes. Now he has something to fight for.
Caine, on the other hand, never warms. When he and his platoon of superkillers land with orders to exterminate, Caine is unflinching. No heart, no woman, no messy concepts about kids, family, community. It's a simple movie -- hang around for 85 minutes to watch the big mano-a-mano between hero and villain. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUeMzxK3YB9i3RMGY2 | By now most of you will have heard of the current administration's budget proposal to sell off lands in the National Forest. In Virginia they would like to get rid of 5,717 acres. With typical cynicism, the plan is dressed up as a way to get more funding for schools, but it is in fact a way to steal the source of those funds now flowing to education. Additional "benefits" claimed for the proposal are (1) reduction of agency costs, (2) private sector development, and (3) opportunities for local government, should they wish to buy more land. Now is the time to stamp heavily on Mr. Bush's bad idea.As far as the George Washington/Jefferson National Forest is concerned, there is abundant evidence that the proposal was prepared in haste and without careful attention to detail. There are many discrepancies between the Forest Service's list of properties and the accompanying maps showing their locations. For example, Tract J-550i is listed in Dickenson Co., while the map shows it to be in Wise and, in fact, adjacent to North Fork of the Pound, one of our largest roadless areas. Several large areas that are mapped in Bland Co. do not appear on the list, nor do smaller areas in Alleghany, Botetourt, and Rockbridge. Some of the tracts do not meet the criterion of isolation. J-1247b and J-1060 in Smyth Co. make up a block of over 500 acres, just across the road from large continuous National Forest holdings.
In addition some of the plots seem particularly poorly chosen. J-253 and J-245 are near the Cave Spring/Stone Mountain Wilderness Study Area and lie within its viewshed. J-729 is continuous with National Forest land along the Appalachian Trail, although admittedly out of the viewshed.
This whole "plan" has the marks of a hasty, badly planned attempt by the administration to make a quick buck from the National Forest. I believe that our local foresters would be greatly relieved if we were to succeed in stopping it in its tracks. So let's do it. Your response should take two avenues. First, write to: Forest Service, SRS Comments, Land 4S, 1400 Independence Ave., Washington, DC 20250-0003 (or e-mail: SRS_Land_Sales@fs.fed.us). You may want to say (1) that this proposal is badly flawed and contradictory, (2) that these lands are important as a resource for land exchanges to consolidate Forest Service holdings, and (3) that these sales amount to selling our children's and grandchildren's legacy. Comments are due by March 30th.
Second, write your Senators and Congressmen, make the same arguments, and ask them to strip this provision from the proposed budget. Those addresses are, of course, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC 20510 and U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515.
Action in the Senate is slow, but prospects for the Virginia Ridge and Valley Bill would seem to be brightening a bit. We have been briefing Congressional staff on the details of the bill to prepare them for upcoming negotiations with the Forest Service. Our best hope is that they may reach agreement with the Forest Service on the final form of a bill that would be acceptable to all parties. If this approach is successful, then it is hard to see how the bill could be rejected by the Congress. We believe that Senator Warner and his staff are thoroughly committed to seeing a good bill passed this year. Don't hold your breath, but use every opportunity to keep the wilderness bill for the Jefferson on the minds of our lawmakers.AU REVOIR, DON GIECEKWith this issue we say, not good-bye, but au revoir to Don Giecek. He has served as our grass-roots organizer for the George Washington National Forest for the past four and a half years, but the time has come for him to move on to greener pastures. Our thanks go with him for his work in developing wilderness support in the GW, for developing the mapping project of the Virginia Wind Energy Coalition, and for his GIS work for the VWC. Don intends to remain active with VWC as a volunteer, and goodness knows we need his expertise. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUa9s5ixsDMJPI2N2b | Patients voice concerns after Chesapeake doctor arrested for health care fraud
by: Kaylynn Stephens, Tamara Scott
Posted: Nov 9, 2019 / 12:42 PM EST / Updated: Oct 17, 2020 / 04:33 PM EDT
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — A Chesapeake doctor was arrested on Friday for alleged health care fraud and false statements related to health care matters.
Court documents say the Federal Bureau of Investigation started investigating 69-year-old Javaid Perwaiz in September 2018, when they received a tip from a hospital employee who suspected he was performing unnecessary surgeries on unsuspecting patients.
The patients were unaware of the procedures they were undergoing in most of the procedures, according to court documents.
Investigators say Perwaiz repeatedly subjected Medicaid patients to the procedures. From January 2014 to August 2018, Perwaiz performed a surgical procedure on 40 percent of his Medicaid patients, 510 in total. Of the patients, 42 percent underwent two or more surgeries, according to court documents.
The hospital employee told investigators that Perwaiz's patients advised hospital staff that they were there for their "annual cleans out."
Now, other patients are concerned they have the same fate.
Stacie Specht says she feels violated after learning her former obstetrician-gynecologist may not have been as trustworthy as she thought.
"I was utterly shocked, like I said, he was — I thought — a decent guy, always nice to me and my family, super sweet. I had to, like, catch my breath for a second," she said.
Past coverage: Dr. Javaid Perwaiz
Court documents state Perwaiz allegedly treated several patients with procedures like hysterectomies and tubal ligation under pressure without their knowledge for at least four years.
One woman revealed she is no longer able to bear children.
Some former patients like Stacie are second guessing their own health after his care.
"I thought my insides were just taking a while to heal cause I had two c-sections in two years, but now I'm like, maybe this pain from hysterically laughing or these random stomach cramps could be something else," she said.
Perwaiz has history with the law: The affidavit says he lost privileges at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth due to performing unnecessary surgeries in 1982.
He also pleaded guilty to tax evasion in 1996 and lost his medical license.
In addition, he has been the subject of at least eight malpractice suits.
She is not the only one. Perwaiz helped deliver all four of Ashley Jones's children. She says he then pressured into get her tubes tied — tubal ligation — even though she didn't really need to or want to.
"I'm just really concerned because now I'm thinking with what I've been going through after doing my fifth surgery with him, what if something is wrong," said Jones.
Stacie said she thought she knew who was treating her family, but now has a totally different view.
"I just feel disgusted, like, I feel violated — it's just gross to think about that somebody would do that," she said.
Perwaiz remains in custody at Western Tidewater Regional Jail and has a court appearance on Nov. 14.
WAVY News 10 received several stories from women who believe they may also be a victim. Stacie says she's already scheduled an appointment with a new doctor to check things out.
She may also hire a lawyer.
