‘As I Lay Dying’ is a popular group especially among American teens. The bands front man Tim Lambesis has posted a $2 million bail in a murder-for-hire case. The 32-year-old singer was arrested earlier this month after police alleged he tried to hire a hit man to kill his estranged wife.
The hit man turned out to be an undercover police officer, and Lambesis was arrested after prosecutors claim he gave the officer an envelope that contained $1000, personal information and a photo of his wife.
Lambesis lawyer Thomas Warwick is committing to an unusual defense. He is claiming Lambesis’s judgment was impaired by steroid use. The singer is rumored to be a serious body builder and a spokesman for nutritional supplements. He is due back in court on June 10th, if convicted he could face up to nine years in prison. | 2019-04-18T18:58:38 | http://thethinkering.com/articles/2013/05/31/i-lay-dying-front-man-released-2-million-bail | [

It feels like Disney is about to bear a serious loss as the much awaited sequel of the Pirates Of the Caribbean has been stolen from their servers.
We believe that the real pirates are in action now!
So the story started when the hackers accessed the servers of Disney and managed to swipe the forthcoming sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Well, the story did not end with the plundering and took a very interesting turn when the hackers started their threatening game.
A ransom has been demanded from Disney, a rejection of which can result in the online release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Now there is a twist in the ransom too, they need the digital currency- bitcoins! No doubt, the real life pirates are playing quite safe.
Interestingly, the spokesperson of Disney maintained silence over the movie’s name that has been purloined, yet, it is strongly assumed to be the next sequel of the pirates of the Caribbean series.
According to some sources, Disney is not in favor of addressing their demands and has sought the help of police to unveil the faces behind the crime.
Well, a successful mass media company like Disney taking such a major risk makes us wonder the possible reason behind its refusal to pay the ransom.
One possible reason could be that Disney is not willing to support its opponents to repeat their act for the sake of making money again.
Well, the sequel is scheduled to be release on the 26th of May, and is expected to do a great business.
Fans are eagerly waiting to watch their favorite actor Johnny Depp as Captain Jack sparrow, more than the movie itself.
Johnny Depp is all set to make a remarkable comeback in this upcoming sequel of Pirates and the Caribbean and we are simply expecting him to weave his same old magic again! | 2019-04-19T02:43:21 | https://watchotc.com/hackers-demand-ransom-from-disney/ | [

A very warm good morning to the respected teachers and my dear friends gathered here. Today we are gathered here to celebrate this auspicious occasion of Independence day on 15th of August. We celebrate this day with lots of enthusiasm and joy every year because our country got freedom at this day in 1947 from the British rule. We are here to celebrate nth number of independence day. It is great and most significant day for all Indians. People of India had suffered cruel behavior of Britishers for many years. Today we have freedom in almost all fields such as education, sports, transportation, business, etc just because of the years of struggle of our forefathers. Before 1947, people were not so free even they were restricted to have rights on their own body and mind. They were slave of Britishers and forced to follow all the orders of them. Today we are free to do anything because of the great Indian leaders who struggled hard for many years to get freedom against British rule.
Independence day is celebrated all over India with much pleasure. This day is of great importance to all Indian citizens as it gives us opportunity to remember all those freedom fighters who had sacrificed their lives just for giving us a beautiful and peaceful life. Earlier to the independence, people were not allowed to get education, eat healthy food and live normal life like us. We should be grateful to those events responsible for the freedom in India. Indians were treated more badly than slaves by the Britishers just to fulfill their meaningless orders.
Some of the great freedom fighters of India are Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhiji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpath Ray, Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and Chandra Sekhar Azad. They were famous patriots who struggled hard for the freedom of India till the end of their life. We cannot imagine that horrible moment struggled by our forefathers. Now, after many years of independence our country is on the right track of development. Today our country is a well established democratic country all over the world. Gandhiji was great leader who taught us about effective way of freedom like ahimsa and sathyagraha methods. Gandhi dreamed of an independent India with the non violence and peace.
India is our mother country and we are its citizens. We should always be ready to save it from the bad people. It is our responsibility to lead our country ahead and make it a best country of the world.
Very good morning to the honorable Chief Guest of the day, respected teachers, parents and my all dear friends. I wish you all a very Happy Independence Day. We all know the reason of get together here in such a big crowd. We all are excited celebrating this great day in such an excellent manner. We are gathered here to celebrate nth independence day of our nation. First of all we hoist our honorable national flag then give a salute to all the heroic deeds of the freedom fighters. I am feeling so proud to be an Indian citizen. I have such a great chance to give a speech on the Independence Day in front of you all. I would like to say thanks to my respected class teacher that she has given me an opportunity to share my views with you all about the freedom of India.
A very good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. We are gathered here to celebrate nth Independence day. I am very happy to speech here on this great occasion. I am very grateful to my class teacher to give me such a special opportunity to say my views on the independence day of my country. At this special occasion of independence day I would like to speech on the India’s struggle for getting freedom from the British rule.
Long years ago, great Indian leaders were made a tryst with the destiny to give us a free and peaceful country by sacrificing their comfort of life. Today we are gathered here to celebrate independence day without any fear and having happy face just because of our brave forefathers. We cannot imagine that how the moment was critical at that time. We have nothing to give our forefathers in return for their precious hard works and sacrifices. We can only remember them and their deeds and make a heartily salute while celebrating the national events. They would always be in our hearts. After the independence India get new birth with happy face of all Indian citizens.
India got independence on 15th of August in 1947 from the clutches of British rule. Indian people all over the country celebrate this national festival annually with lots of joy and enthusiasm. It was great day for all the Indian citizens when India’s tricolor flag was unfolded by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, at the Red Fort, Delhi.
A huge celebration takes place in New Delhi at Rajpath every year where national anthem is sung after the flag hoisting by prime minster. Together with the national anthem a salute through 21 guns firing and showering of flowers through helicopter is given to the national flag. Independence day is a national holiday however everyone celebrate this from their own places by hosting the flags in schools, offices or society. We should feel proud to be an Indian and try our best to save the honor of our country. | 2019-04-22T22:39:10 | http://www.whatsappcity.in/2016/08/indepenence-day-speech-2016.html | [

Jowitt, Anita L. (2013) Supreme audit institution. Transparency Vanuatu, Vanuatu.
The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is severely hindered by lack of staff. Less than a third of approved technical staff positions are filled. This has been a problem for a number of years and has led to backlogs in the conduct of audits. It has also limited the extent to which the OAG can undertake special investigations. Between August 2008 and November 2009 the position of Auditor General was vacant. Despite the lack of staff, since the appointment of the new Auditor General in 2009 a number of positive changes have occurred. In 2011, with the assistance of technical assistance from the European Union, the OAG produced a Corporate Plan 2012 – 2016. This technical assistance also saw the development of a draft audit manual. The OAG is also provided with support by AusAID by way of an operating grant and funding an external advisor through the Pacific Technical Assistance Mechanism (PACTAM) program. It is through this grant that the OAG are able to undertake training activities for staff, contract audits out to external firms and other forms of technical assistance. For example, in 2013 TeamMate software was reinstated and staff trained in its use. In 2012 the OAG presented an annual report covering the years 2005 – 2009 to Parliament. This was the first such report produced since 2007. A report covering 2010 – 2012 is currently under preparation. Another significant problem for the OAG is that in order for its recommendations to be acted upon there needs to be a strong Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and/or other mechanisms to ensure recommendations are implemented. However, as discussed in the legislature section, the PAC does not operate consistently, and when it does produce reports these recommendations are also not acted upon. As such the “accountability cycle” is incomplete. | 2019-04-22T22:40:00 | http://repository.usp.ac.fj/8027/ | [

So lucky to have a copy of this book- a surprise from my husband last Christmas! The description online says "This edition is limited to 2,000 copies. Numerous photographs, both B&W and full-color, of folk art of the T'boli people of the Philippines. The author is a Benedictine monk and art historian, who spent considerable time among the T'boli people in researching this book." It's a good book but it needs to be updated. I also want to see a T'boli book written and published by the T'boli.
A beautiful disaster. Crowned Jewel of the south.
🎶 One step closer...I am one step closer to heaven... 🎶 This song sets such a mood. I can imagine myself sipping a dark red in a dim-lit room, wearing a silky slip, watching silent black and white movies while this track by Supreme Beings of Leisure plays softly in the background.
"Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makakarating sa paroroonan."
Getting dolled up and dressed to the nines is very much a part of the T'boli way of life. There's even a ritual dance in honor of it! It's probably the very first dance I learned as a toddler. I haven't been busting a move lately but I might be in the mood at the @helpinghandsfilaminc #GatsbyCharityGala 😉 Come party with us, for a cause! If you haven't already, go get your tickets! LINK in comments below!
Monday Mood! Saw @yourbaroness last night and they are proof that Metal can be very romantic. Found myself and this guy slow dancing to their softer tunes in between the moshpitting! (The kids, not us! Just an old married couple here!) Thanks @kdatusouvenirsofficial and @sj_cayugan for our rockin' threads!
Missing my birthplace. But here is home, too! My love, my refuge, my Ian Weinstein <3 My dad never pegged me as the type who would get married. He used to say, "No one can tie Cecille down!" And no one can. Relationships are not about getting tethered anyway. It's about constantly choosing to stay! No special occasion. Just blessed to wake up next to this one everyday. | 2019-04-22T16:57:07 | https://www.pictame.com/tag/soxisnext | [

Candace Crespi reflects on coming face to face with victims of the wildlife trade whilst filming Guardians of Raja Ampat in the remote archipelago scattered across 15,000 square miles of sea at the northwestern tip of Indonesia’s West Papua Province “My belief is, that once we have uncovered such an important truth, we have an obligation… no, a duty, to do something about it.” – Shawn Heinrichs Ayau is the northernmost inhabited area of Raja Ampat, consisting of small islands on a very large atoll. As we made our way towards the village of Rutum, we came across something on the surface of the water - a dead, delaminated Hawksbill turtle. The top layer of its shell was sliced off and removed, the most recent victim of the endangered species trade. This is the face of the fight Shawn Heinrichs and I are exposing back home with OPS’ newest documentary Racing Extinction. While filming in Hainan, our team observed countless numbers of endangered Hawksbill turtles lining the walls and shelves of shops. The outreach campaign to coincide with the film will have a section focused on turtles. We jumped into the water to gather footage in hopes it could be used to raise awareness and help people understand how consumerism is ultimately linked to species extinction. As we got face to face with the animal, tears quickly filled my mask. Poachers had cut into and peeled the external laminate of its shell; its eyes were open but void of life. There is no rational explanation for this – the only word that comes to mind is exploitation. This is the reality of the endangered species trade. I sat down with Shawn to discuss what we had seen that day: “My initial reaction is frustration and anger. I look into its eyes and there is a lot of sadness in my heart. I’ve worked with these animals alive, I’ve filmed them, and tried to rescue them. Imagine this little Hawksbill turtle that’s born on this beach, on a full moon, flippers into the water… somehow over the next twenty years evades the predators – the sharks, the gulls – and grows to maturity… and within this great expansive ocean where we’ve depleted their numbers down to a fraction, somehow finds a mate, mates, and instead of going to the nearest beach it somehow navigates its way back to its very birthplace to lay its eggs. That’s the crescendo moment of its life to start the next cycle, and just before it gets to the beach, or on the beach, someone swoops in and grabs it.” Turtles are completely helpless; they have no defensive mechanisms other than their shells, which can be effective against toothed predators, but not against man. A sharp instrument was used to peel the outer layer, bit by bit, until the entire outer coating was gone. The harvested elements would be shipped off somewhere else in the world to create ornamental combs and glasses. But why did they take the external laminate and discard the rest like garbage? Years ago someone in the area died after eating a hawksbill turtle. In the most remote and least developed part of Raja Ampat, where locals are embracing conservation, we’ve just come across a reminder of just how bad the endangered species trade is. Despite valuing their resources, villagers took what they wanted and disposed of the rest. As much as steps being taken here to connect with and preserve natural resources inspire us, this is a reminder of the constant care and diligence needed for long-term change. In each of our own ways we are exploiting and taking. For remote communities that have very little, if someone is going to be an exploiter, their natural resources are all that’s available to them – that’s their way to make money. It is vital to create livelihood alternatives, making it much more valuable to keep that turtle alive than to extract it. Instead of being angry and heartbroken, instead of judging, we must go deeper to understand why this exists, what drives it, and what help these communities need to make it stop. Shawn told me that the hardest part of his job was that “even in the areas we’re making amazing headway, and really driving change within the community, there are still the holdouts.” Perhaps they are there to remind us that the work is far from over. No matter how good we feel about what’s been done, we must always keep pushing and foraging ahead to prevent sliding back. We have an obligation to never stop fighting for these voiceless victims. ------ Sign up with Racing Extinction to learn more! Candace Crespi - Campaign Director a at Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS) Candace leads OPS' work preserving marine biodiversity, reducing the human impact on cetacean populations, and giving a voice to endangered species. She engages with communities, government leaders and like-minded organizations to raise awareness and inspire change. She holds a bachelor's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Tulane University and has years of experience as an environmental activist. An avid diver, she has seen first hand the destruction to coral reefs all over the world. Candace is deeply committed to marine conservation, and believes that by sharing the wonders of the ocean, people will be inspired to protect it. | 2019-04-23T00:38:39 | https://ecohustler.com/article/peeling-back-the-layers-of-the-extinction-trade/ | [

Café Cairo, Voted The Best Pick-Up Bar in Bermuda!
Bermuda is not just a pretty island with pink sand beaches and luxurious resorts where couples come for some well-earned vacations or wonderful honeymoons. Nor is it just for golfers travelling from all around the world for the privilege to play on some of the best courses on the planet in some of the best conditions. Bermuda is also an island where people come to party!
But don’t think it is the type of party you can see in the Caribbean. Bermuda is a classy place and party with class.You can go anywhere for a drink or a dance, mainly for both, on the island and you won’t risk to see the place ruined by herds of crazy and loud tourists still wearing their beach outfit.
For those who are in on a girlie or a lads holiday, there are many places to spend the night dancing away after a lazy day around the swimming pool or by the sea. But which of them is the best place to meet single people in search of fun and adventures? Well, for the second year running, the Best of Bermuda Award of The Bermudian for the best pick-up bar was given to the Café Cairo.
This suave and sophisticated restaurant/café underwent a complete renovation to stay the best nightlife spot in Front Street, Hamilton. It is a place with its own special atmosphere and with a philosophy contained in its dress code: dress to impress. Located on the second floor of a decorated waterfront building, the Egyptian themed café is a favourite of the locals and has two faces. Until 10:30pm, Cairo Café is a restaurant and café serving traditional Middle East cuisine in a North African décor of hand-carved Egyptians chairs and tables made of inscribed copper bed frames. The place serves lunches between 12noon and 2:30pm, Monday to Friday, and dinner from 6:30pm to 10:30pm, Monday to Saturday. There is a wine bar open from 5pm to 1am, Monday to Saturday.
There is also a Bedouin-style dining room with plush cushions for those who want a relax yet authentic dinner. For even more North African authenticity, the Café Cairo has an hookah lounge, a covered outside area where you can smoke at the fruit-flavoured tobacco pipes.
After 10pm and until 3pm, the Café Cairo turns into a night-club and the atmosphere gets jumping. You can still get food as it served late at night, but most people turn their attention to the dance-floor. It can become absolutely packed on the week-end because it is the place where everyone wants to come and finish the night. Given the popularity of the place and to keep it friendly, it is recommended for men to be accompanied by a woman to ensure they will get in.
It is definitely the most hip place in Hamilton and a place where locals and holiday-makers are mixing until 3am and sometimes later. The hookah pipes that are located at the back are a popular features while the dance-floor gets barely empty thanks to a DJ playing dance music and R&B tunes all night.
The Cairo Café might be the best pick-up place in Bermuda but that’s not all it is: a great restaurant, a great night-club and a very lively place.

Feuding sisters Vera and Nadezhda forge an uneasy alliance when their 84 year old father announces he is in love....with a 36 year old Ukrainian sporting superior Botticellian breasts. You don't have to be fascinated by tractors to enjoy this book, but be prepared for humour and tragedy to run side by side as the story unfolds.
The second phone call came a few days after the first.
See how he comes straight to the point? No small talk. No 'How are you? How are Mike and Anna?' No chit-chat about the weather. Nothing frivolous will hold him up when he is in the grip of a Big Idea.
Why is he asking me? How would I know? I don't want to know. I don't want this kick of emotion that drags me back to the bogey-nose days, to the time when my Daddy was still my hero and I was still vulnerable to his disapproval. | 2019-04-22T14:14:23 | https://www.whichbook.net/book.aspx?id=3121 | [

A developer and microservices enthusiast talks about ensuring security in software, especially microservices architecture.
Hi Julien, tell us who you are and what lead you into microservices.
Hi, I'm a passionate developer coaching other devs @SocieteGenerale. I think that what's led me to microservices was the Domain Driven Design. Once the bounded contexts identified, it seems natural to isolate it into a single responsibility service. But how to manage, monitor, scale it, etc? One Netflix talk, and there we are now!
"Security" is the new "automated tests." Some years ago people didn't use to write automated tests or even didn't know what it was. Nowadays, we are facing the same issue with application security. Everyone seems choked when hearing in the news that some massive leaks of personal data or credit card numbers happen. But we should ask ourselves, what are we doing to make sure that it won't happen on our own software?
Thanks to the great open-source community, we have frameworks which help us to spawn quickly the infrastructure of our microservices. Those frameworks are the prime targets of potential attackers, the major open-source communities know it and are pretty active in the remediation of their vulnerabilities.
But as an open-source user, are you aware of the risk you are facing? Are you using vulnerable versions of your frameworks? Looks like 88% of Java applications audited for this report have at least one vulnerability in third-party dependencies.
In this talk, we will see how to detect and track the known vulnerabilities in the third-party dependencies we use, using open-source software like OWASP Dependency-Check and OWASP Dependency-Track.
So what you are saying is that 88% of our Java application have vulnerabilities. Now, with microservices, we have more application, therefore more vulnerabilities, right? Is DevSecOps the way to go?
Microservices have increased the number of running software in production for sure. Maybe it increases the number of vulnerabilities as well but what we can be sure of the increase of the attack surface of our production environment.
When I started to work a decade ago, applicative security was owned by a central committee of Security Engineers, and sometimes those guys showed up to audit our application. But during those days we were doing something like one release every three months or something like that.
With the DevOps and the microservices philosophy, we understood that the responsibility of a development team was more than just writing code, we now ship in production in a continuous way and we are monitoring the production ourselves. Looks like security was lost in translation.
Adding the Sec in the DevOps with the right tools and best practices will therefore make sure that we build safer software for our users.
This talk will strive to demonstrate that we can easily increase the security of our software with a small amount of effort around a sample of a vulnerable microservice. | 2019-04-22T04:57:46 | https://dzone.com/articles/voxxed-days-microservices-vulnerabilities-in-micro | [

10 diversity items for June 29: Unemployment up in most U.S. cities; Pew report shows diversity of U.S. Hispanics and more.
For the first time in history the Pentagon celebrated Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Month on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported. The ceremony, which was broadcast on a internal TV network to U.S. military bases around the world, was a straight-laced affair, according to the Times. It included pre-taped videos from President Obama and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta.
The American Civil Liberties Union will help the Ku Klux Klan in its bid to join a highway cleanup program, according to Fox News. When the International Keystone Knights of the KKK applied to join the program along part of Highway 515 in the north Georgia mountains, the state denied their application--which lead to a legal showdown. The ACLU is developing a strategy for representing the group in what it believes is a First Amendment case.
When advocates for the Asian-American community decried a report by the Pew Research Center full of seemingly good news about Asians as "shallow" and "disparaging," both sides failed to acknowledge that the other may have had a point, Eric Liu wrote in Time on Tuesday.
In May, unemployment rates rose in more than 75 percent of U.S. cities, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday. Among the cities with this highest unemployment rates were Yuma, Ariz. (28.9 percent); El Centro, Calif. (26.8 percent); and Yuba City, Calif. (17.9 percent). Bismark and Fargo, both in North Dakota, had the lowest unemployment rates--2.5 percent and 3 percent respectively--followed by Lincoln, Neb., with 3.4 percent unemployment.
Eighty percent of Mexicans support their president's decision to use the Army to fight powerful drug cartels, a new poll from the Pew Hispanic Center shows. That support has dropped slightly over the past year. In 2011, 83 percent supported the use of military force. Forty-seven percent of those polled said they believed the Army was making progress in the fight.
Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, Guatemalans, Colombians, Hondurans, Ecuadorians and Peruvians make up 92 percent of the United States' Hispanic population, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of Census data released on Wednesday. The majority, 65 percent, of all 50.7 million Hispanics living in the country are of Mexican-origin. The next largest group are Puerto Ricans, who make up just 9 percent of the total Hispanic population.
The attorney for a Latino man who claimed a Seattle police officer threatened to beat the "Mexican piss" out of him during a 2010 robbery investigation said a civil rights lawsuit regarding the incident, which was caught on tape, has been settled for $150,000, the Seattle Times reported on Wednesday.
Tucson Police Chief: Can the Department Handle S.B. 1070 Workload?
As the "show me your papers, please" provision in Arizona's immigration law goes into effect in the wake of the Monday Supreme Court decision, the police chief in Tucson, Ariz., wonders how his staff--which is down to 160 officers because of the economy--will handle the up to 50,000 additional phone calls a year to federal officials to verify the immigration status of people they stop, CNN reported on Wednesday.
The U.S. government has quietly been training and arming the Ugandan military as it drives militants out of Somalia, a stronghold for Islamic militants, Wired reported on Wednesday. But American officials have indicated that the government might cut off that military aid because of LGBT issues. Uganda's gays, lesbians and transgendered citizens have long faced persecution, the magazine reported.
Another lawsuit challenging Florida's contentious move to remove potentially ineligible voters from the state voting rolls was filed last week by The Advancement Project in partnership with other litigants, New America Media reported on Thursday. | 2019-04-22T20:26:21 | https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/06/roundup-aclu-to-represent-klan-on-fight-over-adopt-a-highway-participation/428010/ | [

You may have heard about “black hat” SEO tactics. Essentially, these tactics take advantage of the traditional use of keywords and key phrases and warps them through different techniques that are often called “keyword stuffing”. In essence, black hat techniques violate the spirit in of the current system.
For several years Google has been focusing much of their effort to eliminating black hat SEO techniques. With so much literature pouring out about how such tricks are being dealt with, it may surprise you to know that not only are black hat SEO still around, but they are still alive and working for thousands of online business owners this year.
The reason why black hat tactics are still being used is a simple one. They still generate a great deal of sales. You see it in the blogs, forums and other places where marketers who use these techniques tell the world that sales are still pouring into their websites. Even the efforts of the vaunted Google Penguin which highlights the online businesses that use such tactics, the money they generate keeps pouring in not because of their ranking, but because every time such tactics get used the sales increase or the leads come in by the bushel.
Amazingly enough, there are still many websites using black hat techniques that still have high rankings even with their bad profiles. The new algorithms sported by Google are still not good enough to catch all of these businesses. For the past year, Google has focused the efforts of their spam team and associated contractors to check forums used by black hat online business and other places in order to see what SEO tactics they are using and eliminate them. This is one reason why the blog networks which was a haven for black hat businesses was caught.
However, despite all of their efforts and Google changing their algorithms to throw off these black hat tactics, it still is not enough. Negative SEO is still around although Google incorporated RankBrain and black hat SEO, for all of its connotations, still works in selling products. You can always use disavow links tool to ignore bad links pointing to your website.
Why exactly is a webpage that contains bad backlinks can still be ranked so highly in today’s internet world?
There is no simple answer to that question since there are many reasons why it continues to be true.
Unfortunately, too many online business owners who attempt black hat tactics do so poorly and get caught easily. One of blackhat SEO is called wikipedia injection. As soon as those large SEO websites post an article, right away they inject their link on wikipedia to keep their ranking stable. Just check seo related posts on wikipedia, there are a lot of websites from small to large ones injected their links there. Wikipedia’s consultants are not doing their job right to remove them. so these black hat seo still is a trend among SEOs. These SEO companies keep monitoring their links on wikipedia so as soon as one removes their links, they replace them.
One example is if you have a forum or guest blog, your first instinct would be to spread that to the most popular forums or WordPress commenting sections because all WordPress bloggers will see your ad when they want to publish their articles. This is how many marketers land a large number of sales in a single night I am talking about spreading over 2 million or more sites. There are more ways of landing sales. I would recommend using Google Adwords PPC and Facebook advertising. Because you’re playing your cards right and if you use the right PPC ad management strategies, you will generate leads and sales. As forum posting, I am not suggesting to use this blackhat tactic because it will hurt your website’s ranking, and it won’t work but from sales perspective large niche forum posting helps with sales if it is done right. Blog commenting is another way of driving in sales, but if you want to use it for black hat SEO then this also won’t help with ranking anymore.
Bottom line, black hat SEO can get your website banned and it’s not worth it. Remember! It’s not about ranking, its about getting more targeted people see your products or services and buy from you. This is why you should use whitehat SEO, paid advertisement and social media marketing strategies. If you run an ecommerce website, use influencer marketing strategies to get more love to your products and services. | 2019-04-23T08:38:01 | https://www.maria-johnsen.com/million-dollar-blog/category/black-hat-seo | [

UI's attorney worried he won't be able to present "an adequate defense" in the 10 days originally planned for the trial; judge's availability limited.
A second discrimination trial against the University of Iowa may not begin June 5 as originally scheduled.
District Court Judge Eliza Ovrom notified attorneys Monday that she has limited availability in her schedule for the week of June 19 if former Hawkeye field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum's civil lawsuit lasts that long. Ovrom said the original start date was determined after lawyers told her two weeks would be enough.
Griesbaum's attorneys, Thomas Newkirk and Jill Zwagerman, responded Tuesday that they still believe two weeks is sufficient for the trial, but that if it does spill into a third week, they're agreeable to a brief delay before it resumes. The pair also represented Jane Meyer, whose civil lawsuit against Iowa recently concluded after 14 days in court with the jury awarding their client $1.43 million in damages.
The Associated Press reported that assistant attorney general George Carroll, representing the university, filed a motion Tuesday seeking to push back the trial.
Carroll wrote that the university "will not be able to present an adequate defense" in the 10-day period originally envisioned.
It's expected that the judge will rule on the trial date this week.
Newkirk and Zwagerman asked that, if the trial date is moved, that it begin July 10 instead "to ensure that witnesses are able to attend." They pointed out that an autumn trial would cause hardship because many of the witnesses are coaches, administrators or students involved in college sports.
Griesbaum was fired by Iowa in August 2014 and is claiming gender and sexual orientation discrimination, as well as retaliation. Those are similar to the claims made by Meyer, who is Griesbaum's partner and was the Hawkeyes' senior associate athletic director from 2001-14. | 2019-04-23T06:49:13 | https://ux.hawkcentral.com/story/news/2017/05/09/university-iowa-seeks-delay-trial-over-field-hockey-coachs-firing/315021001/ | [

Why have you been at Arnold Clark for 10 years?I started part time when I was at university. Then, I decided to buy a house the minute I turned 18 and realised I needed a bit more money. I supported myself through uni and decided to stay on with Arnold Clark because I liked the people and the atmosphere and I could see that there was plenty of room for me to develop.
What was your first job in the automotive industry? At the time, I did a bit of everything. The warehousing side of things, goods in, goods out, quality control, driving – I was a van coordinator for a while as well, overseeing 25 drivers. I also worked in the office dealing with Ford customers over the phone.
What does your current role involve?I’ve been working towards building a new training platform for all Parts staff, where I really want them to continue training, not because they have to but because they want to; knowing that they can better themselves. There’s nothing worse than being on a course and you just sit there falling asleep waiting to leave and the highlight of it is getting your lunch! I don’t want it to be like that for my team. Essentially, it’s writing and delivering training courses. Creating new materials. Getting out and about, talking to people, seeing what they’re doing, what they need, and what the business needs are and making it all go hand in hand.
What are the most challenging aspects of your job?Being patient, to be honest. That’s not just in the current role, but me in general. I like to get stuck into everything that I do and do it well. Understanding that other people and processes might not move at the speed that I’d like but I know in the end we get there, one way or another. To a degree that’s probably been part of my earlier days when I first became a Parts manager and managing my own frustrations, so definitely one of my earlier challenges as well.
Would you recommend working at Arnold Clark to others?Yes, naturally. Once you realise the width, depth and scale of the company, then you’ve got a career for life, doing whatever you want to do. A lot of people don’t know the truth about the motor trade. They think it’s a dirty, male-orientated, hands-on environment, whereas in actual fact it’s very business orientated, very financial and a lot of IT skills are needed. It also involves a lot of customer-facing work. If there was better awareness of it, a lot more people will realise there’s a great career to be had. | 2019-04-19T09:29:22 | https://www.drivemycareer.co.uk/testimonial/francine-grimley/ | [

The leader of the New Zealand Company's first expedition, Colonel William Wakefield, was the first to suggest a beacon or lighthouse would ease entry into Wellington harbour. The expedition's ship, the Tory, had struggled in on its first visit on 20 September 1839 – and ships carrying the Company's settlers were due within months. But Wakefield took no action to remedy the situation; nor did Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson after he proclaimed sovereignty over the country in May 1840.
The first steps were instead taken by Wellington's settlers. In December 1841 a public meeting was held in response to two shipwrecks that had occurred ‘for want of a lighthouse or signal station, and pilots'. Those attending admonished the Company and the colonial government, but also resolved to take action themselves by raising a public subscription for a temporary lighthouse. They raised enough for two beacons, and erected one of these at Pencarrow. Unfortunately, they didn't heed warnings that the beacon would prove too frail for the headland. By April 1842 it had been destroyed in a gale.
The following month Hobson extended an ordinance to Wellington giving its borough council the power to erect beacons and lighthouses. This was an opportunity for local action on a grander scale, but the ‘poorly endowed’ council actually stood little chance of achieving anything. Its elections were only held in October 1842 and by December 1843 the power had returned to the colonial government, the British government having disallowed the ordinance. The colonial government agreed to fund a replacement beacon in 1844. But it proved entirely inadequate – it was only visible from about eight kilometres in good weather. The Pickwick, the Tyne and the Maria were all wrecked before the colonial government was convinced of the need for a lighthouse visible at night and in poor weather.
Following the wreck of the Maria on 23 July 1851, when 26 lives were lost, a public meeting was held and a deputation sent to Governor George Grey. He agreed to advance money for a lighthouse and keeper's accommodation, to be funded by an extra duty on spirits. But while the extra duty was imposed, all the settlers received was a temporary keeper's cottage (and keeper, George Bennett), with a light placed in its window. Plans for the lighthouse, drawn up by Edward Roberts of the Royal Engineers' Department in 1852, were put on hold.
In 1854 the general government's committee on beacons and lighthouses reported that the existing arrangement at Pencarrow was inadequate. But by 1857 it had taken no further action. Wellington's provincial government – by then functioning for four years – grew impatient. It asked Roberts to arrange to have the lighthouse he had designed five years earlier built in England. This was opposed by the general government, which argued that such lighthouses were its responsibility. Wellington's superintendent Isaac Featherston responded that the province was simply improving upon the existing ‘harbour' light that the government had sanctioned funds for in the past. He directed Roberts and Gladstone and Company, the provincial government's agents in London, to continue negotiating a tender for the casting of the lighthouse.
By July 1857 Gladstone and Company had accepted a tender of £2435 from Messrs Cochrane and Company of Woodside Iron Works, Dudley. By the end of the year Roberts advised that Edward Wright had been selected to supervise the erection of the lighthouse. After years of inadequate solutions, a permanent lighthouse – and the man needed to erect it – were finally on their way.

So many people are quick to point out the inadequacies of food pyramids. But only focusing on criticism is boring. Let’s ask a different question: what do we do about it? What is the one food change we can make that is easy, simple, and relevant to everyone?
I say eat a rainbow of whole foods every day.
Different nutrients impart different colors to fruits and vegetables.
I remember back in the day when I started doing Jane Fonda-style aerobic workouts. It had nothing to do with form or engaging muscle groups. It was all about how many reps you could do for maximum burn and pain. As athletes and coaches, we now know that a solid rep executed with perfect form is more important than number of reps.
This number-focused mindset can rear its ugly head with nutrition, too. From a psychological perspective, anything that leads to a feeling of restriction or excess typically does not offer a positive long-term outcome. More often the reverse happens, causing people to bounce from over-restricted tendencies to excessive eating patterns. In the dieting world, this has been coined as “yo-yo dieting.” One of its most common symptoms is calorie counting.
When I first started a paleo lifestyle a little over four years ago, there were a few things I really struggled with, and counting calories was at the top of my list. I was shocked to learn just how engrained calorie counting had become in my daily thinking and decision making. I realized my mind was programmed to pay attention to the numbers of calories first and foremost.
I have to admit, I stored up a lot of random knowledge about calorie counts for the foods I loved. But I grew to see that most of those foods were not even real foods, but processed, packaged poison. I also realized the knowledge I gained by counting calories was often the deciding factor of what foods I ate, more than nutritional content. I was sad to realize this was how I was living.
Today I have a simple guiding principle: I try to eat at least two platefuls of an organic, whole-food rainbow every day. Instead of counting calories, I count colors. Five different colors a day is my goal. Many times I am lucky to have that with each plateful.
Food has become like art mixed with a seasonal scavenger hunt. My search for colorful foods to keep my plate interesting and fun has led me to try new seasonal and native foods. Here are a few examples of colorful meals that are also perfect for winter months and great for families or large groups.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and place diced squash coated in the melted oil on tray. Bake for 30 minutes until soft to touch and slightly brown.
Meanwhile, begin to heat bone broth on stove, adding sliced carrots.
Once done, add the cooked squash to the broth.
Cook soup for about 20 minutes or until carrots are fork soft. Remove soup from heat.
Using an immersion blender or hand mixer, mix soup into a nice creamy consistency, adding coconut milk and spices to taste right in the soup pot.
Add spices to taste. Cook for 10 hours on low. Once done, turn off and enjoy with a side salad.

Carl: Monsieur Rick, you are getting to be your best customer.
Major Strasser: [to Ilsa] My dear mademoiselle, perhaps you have already observed that in Casablanca, human life is cheap. Good night, mademoiselle.
Man: Waiting, waiting, waiting. I'll never get out of here. I'll die in Casablanca.
Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. Ranked #67 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.
Opening narration: And so a tortuous, round-about refugee trail sprang up. Paris to Marseilles, across the Mediterranean to Oran [in Algeria], then by train or auto or foot across the rim of Africa to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here the fortunate ones through money or influence or luck might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon, and from Lisbon to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca, and wait...and wait...and wait.
Police officer: To all officers. Two German couriers carrying important official documents murdered on train from Oran. Murderer and possible accomplices headed for Casablanca. Round up all suspicious characters and search them for stolen document. IMPORTANT.
Yvonne: [to Rick] What a fool I was to fall for a man like you.
Annina: We come from Bulgaria. Oh, things are very bad there, Monsieur. The devil has the people by the throat. So, Jan and I we - we do not want our children to grow up in such a country.
Rick: So you decided to go to America.
Annina: Oh! Monsieur. You are a man. If someone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her?
Annina: No, I mean, is he trustworthy? Is his word-?
Rick: Now, just a minute. Who told you to ask me that?
Annina: He did. Captain Renault did.

So, it's going to throw him for a little bit of a loop, so I guess that's what we're starting with in 7-11. Markle's Suits costar Patrick J. I'm going to leave each viewer to think of that on their own. Despite Mike's lack of a law degree, Harvey hires him, impressed by his wit and knowledge. I understand that Louis didn't want Mike to work for the Devil Incarnate seriously, Eric Roberts plays the best evil character since Hardman but I wonder what's going to happen with their relationship.
But not enough to get admission and was rejected. So, with Rachel Zane and Mike Ross's characters leaving the popular paralegal television show after the current season, what does this mean for the on-screen couple's romance and upcoming marriage? They get married in Episode 2. Adams but they had yet to tie the knot. Rachel and Harvey can't stay away from each other and Mike eventually finds out. Let's not forget, he's also in a relationship with Dr. Despite his feelings for Rachel, he was unable to pursue a full relationship with her, since he was dating Jenny, who had left Trevor after discovering his drug dealing affairs. His first case, however, is against Claire, an ex-girlfriend who is aware that he didn't go to law school.
None of that made sense. There was also an offer that Mike got from Harvey regarding the takeover, but Mike refused it and stormed out of the conference room since he did not want Gillis's company to suffer such a fate. No, you dont give someone a day, then when they ask for space at work go and selfishly and impulsively get in their face multiple times, then later go to them and tell them that he should forgive her if he loves her enough or they are over. Whilst working at , Mike fell in love with his co-worker , a paralegal that gave him a rundown of the firm on his first day and showed him to his cubicle. Or the one in which Rachel makes a very straightforward proposal and Harvey is impressed much to his common sense's disappointment.
Did Rachel cheat on Mike with Logan Sanders in Suits?
However, Rachel kisses Logan and ultimately tells Mike about it, prompting him to punch Logan. And, why don't they do more with Katrina. Mike finds this out and demands that Jimmy admits to what he did and clears Rachel's name or else Mike would turn him which would be far more damaging. Disappointed that Mike didn't go to work for Forstman. Mike initially rejects Cahill's offer, but Harvey and Cahill covertly sneak him out of prison for a few hours.
I can't believe she actually tried to guilt him into taking her back. And was she trying to guilt him? One of the photos shows Rachel looking intently at her fiancé as she appears to be in the middle of a romantic moment with him. It was said that Professor Dumbar will give Rachel the opportunity to showcase her legal skills both inside and outside the classroom. However, I would kill for an opportunity to see a cold-hearted, ambitious Rachel once again and Mike to have a relationship with Katrina. We're going to see different pairings and different things we've never seen before, and we're also going to have a lot of funny stuff in them. They're on equal footing as far as I'm concerned.
Mike takes the day off work to go see a priest from his childhood. That just might be it. Because of this, Robert began to doubt Rachel's capabilities as a lawyer. The show signed on for an eighth season, so Suits fans can still get their fix, with or without Markle and Adams. I've really missed the bonding moments these two share. Mike Ross works with Jack Soloff and earns his respect.
Mike initially turned her away, but after being rejected by Rachel, he later called her and slept with her. At times, Harvey becomes less of a father-figure or older brother and more of a friend. Mike is initially angry at this revelation, but comes to realise that Rachel deserves to be happy and study where she wishes. People can draw their own conclusions and comparisons. Rachel, on the other hand.
But throughout the course of the first season, their relationship grew to trusted working partners. I feel like the show needs a new spice. On a gas station, Mike and Louis start to fight each other, with Louis nearly choking Mike to death. Mike, however, refused to listen and walks away. Sometime later Louis finds out Mike's secret and threatens to expose him if he doesn't get his name on the wall. The enemy of my friend is my enemy, and so believes Mike. Seeing what's going to happen to Louis later on is going to be interesting.
Shes demanding that Mike be with her when she wants it. I think the characters are moving in ways they've never moved before and we've got things that we'll never see before. I mean we all know what happened but it was more like we saw what was going to happen and the rest was left to our imagination, hearing it from Donna just makes it weird for me. Although they did work together in a case involving ballet. In the end, Rachel broke up with him and his performance began to drop until, two months later, he was fired.
When it happens it better we will cry tears of joy. Mike found school incredibly easy due to his photographic memory, and rarely put any effort into studying. He's going to come in and leave, and the come back, and then build to being the big bad towards 15 and 16. Louis is a strange case this episode. Suits fans, what did you think of the season opener? However, just as he was about to take his grandmother to see her new apartment, Rachel informed him that Edith had passed away. Trevor then lied to Jenny that he had stopped, but Mike wanted Jenny to know the truth. | 2019-04-21T18:06:01 | http://airkhruang.com/suits-rachel-cheats-on-mike.html | [

An Alsip police officer seriously wounded a man in an on-duty shooting early Wednesday after tracking a Cadillac suspected of being involved in drag racing into the Mount Greenwood neighborhood.
The officer fired shots when the driver of the Cadillac, identified as a 25-year-old man, failed to follow police commands to raise his hands and drove toward the officer and his partner, Alsip Police Chief Jay Miller said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon.
Just after 2 a.m., the officer saw a Dodge Challenger and a Cadillac drag racing in the David Estates neighborhood in the southwest suburb, Miller said. During a search for the vehicles, the officer pulled into a parking lot for an apartment building in the 4000 block of 115th Street in Chicago and found two people inside the Cadillac.
The officer and his partner got out of their squad car and told the 25-year-old and his passenger to raise their hands, police said. Instead of following directions, the 25-year-old drove toward the officer, who then opened fire. The Cadillac crashed into vehicles parked in the lot and into a squad car.
The 25-year-old was shot twice in the shoulder and was given medical attention by the Alsip officers before paramedics arrived, police said. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious condition.
Both officers suffered “minor injuries,” Alsip police said.
Miller said the 25-year-old, who has not been charged, was wanted on a warrant out of Indiana on a drug charge and had a “violent history” but did not provide specifics. | 2019-04-21T09:07:05 | https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/person-shot-by-suburban-police-officer-in-far-south-side-in-unknown-condition/ | [

Home Secretary Amber Rudd resigned from Cabinet on Sunday night after weeks of political embarrassment over the Windrush scandal.
Ms Rudd told a parliamentary committee last week the Government had no specific targets for the removal of illegal immigrants.
But the former Home Secretary has now admitted to “inadvertently” misleading Parliament over the issue after it was revealed such targets did exist.
Her resignation has left an enormous amount of speculation over her replacement, with the Communities Secretary Sajid Javid currently out in front.
No 10 are expected to make announcement on Ms Rudd’s replacement today.
Since the resignation of the Hastings and Rye MP, speculation has been rife as to who Mrs May will pick to take up the Cabinet role.
This is the full list of favourites, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.
Sajid Javid is listed as the current Ladbrokes favourite to be a potential successor to Ms Rudd and is considered a unity candidate for the role.
In an interview with the Telegraph this weekend, Mr Javid said of the Windrush fall-out: "It could have been me, my mum or my dad."
The Communities Secretary is seen as a uniting figure and issued a plea to ethnic minorities to look at the Government's efforts to "put things right."
Mr Javid’s odds to become Home Secretary are evens.
Michael Gove, current Environment Secretary and one of the leading Brexiteers during the EU referendum campaign, has been heavily tipped to be promoted.
He was banished from Cabinet when Mrs May first became Prime Minister but was unexpectedly given a new role on the front-bench just one year later.
Since taking on the Environment brief he has impressed many in the Conservative party for giving the Department a renewed sense of purpose while also being a staunch defender of the Prime Minister.
Ladbrokes have given him odds of 5/1 to be appointed as Home Secretary.
The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has also been tipped as a potential successor to Ms Rudd.
Like the former Home Secretary, Mr Hunt campaigned for Remain during the EU referendum, but has since said he has changed his mind.
The former Remainer claims to now be fully committed to Brexit and would vote ‘Leave’ if the referendum was held again.
He was expected to be sacked from his position as Health Secretary in Mrs May’s January Cabinet re-shuffle but remained in the post after persuading the Prime Minister not to move him.
Mr Hunt has odds of 6/1 to replace Ms Rudd.
His replacement as Northern Ireland Secretary, Karen Bradley, is also being tipped for the position.
Prior to taking on the Stormont brief Mrs Bradley was Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
However, with fresh tensions in Northern Ireland politics following the collapse of the Assembly last year, the Prime Minister may be unwilling to further disrupt political activities in the province.
Ms Bradley’s odds of becoming Home Secretary are also 6/1.
James Brokenshire has Cabinet experience but is currently without a brief after he stepped down from his position as Northern Ireland Secretary in January due to ill health.
The Old Bexley and Sidcup MP was diagnosed with the early stages of lung cancer, despite never having smoked.
Mr Brokenshire is now back in Parliament and could therefore be available for the job if he felt ready to return to the front-bench.
However, he was Immigration Secretary between 2014 and 2016 when Theresa May was Home Secretary and may therefore struggle to distance himself from the Windrush scandal.
Mr Brokenshire has odds of 8/1 to take on the role.
Solicitor David Gauke was elected to the House of Commons in 2005 and has been Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor since January 8, 2018.
He has previously held posts as Chief Secretary to the Treasury and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
Ladbrokes places him at 12/1 to succeed Amber Rudd as Home Secretary. | 2019-04-21T14:45:12 | https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/uk-world-news/bookies-favourites-replace-amber-rudd-1514338 | [

Just what does a Non-Reactive HIV examination result indicate?
What is an examination like?
There are many areas to obtain HIV examinations, such as your health care provider's workplace or a unique screening site like usahometest.com. You'll initially receive details regarding HIV, danger aspects for HIV, and also the kinds of various tests. You will have time to ask questions and also talk about any concerns regarding obtaining evaluated. It's your selection to get an examination.
A non-reactive HIV (negative) examination result means that antibodies to HIV were not found in the blood example. Your examination may come back negative if you have actually been contaminated by HIV very just recently. In most HIV tests, including the quick tests made use of by Heartland CARES, there is a "home window period" of about 3 months after an exposure to HIV when antibodies to HIV have not gotten to a degree high enough to be identified.
If you recognize along with your testing therapist that you may have been infected in the previous three months, you should be retested 3 months from the date of the feasible exposure to be certain of your result. In the meanwhile, your testing counselor will certainly suggest some actions to help keep you and also your partners healthy and balanced.
It's currently suggested that every person 13 years old and over obtain HIV screening as a component of regular exams each year. If you are sexually energetic or sharing needles, testing is recommended every 3-6 months or with a brand-new companion. Not everyone that is contaminated with HIV has symptoms or feels unwell, so getting evaluated and knowing your condition is the only method to know without a doubt that you're negative. It's likewise essential to obtain examined regularly since when HIV is located early, a person can begin therapy immediately before the infection has actually done excessive damage.
The variety of new infections in youths makes it crucial that everyone obtains a test and gets a repeat examination if associated with any type of high-risk habits. Determining to get evaluated could be the hardest component, so offer on your own credit score for taking a big step to obtain evaluated.
No matter which evaluates a person chooses to do, it's extremely important to constantly get your outcomes, if you have a so-called non-reactive test result you should obtain a second examination within 6 months to confirm you non-reactive (Negative) test outcome.
A Reactive test result means that HIV antibodies may have been spotted in the specimen. The test is taken initially favorable. Just like all screening tests, the outcomes have to be verified by one more approach, referred to as a confirmatory examination. If the initial oral screening is reactive (favorable), with your authorization, the personnel at Heartland CARES will certainly collect a testing sampling from you before you leave the center to utilize in the confirmatory testing procedure. The outcomes of the confirmatory test typically are offered within 7 to 10 days.
A Non-Reactive test indicates that anti-HIV antibodies were not identified in the specimen. This test outcome is taken Negative.
Exactly what is a false-positive?
A false-positive is when an examination returns a preliminary favorable outcome that is later determined (through a confirmatory test) to be imprecise. False-positives are unusual yet are a natural as well as the anticipated incident with all analysis items, consisting of pregnancy examinations, cholesterol examinations and also cancer examinations.
The third as well as the last part of testing is getting your outcomes and speaking about what those outcomes imply for the future.
Non-reactive-- refers to an HIV antibody or HIV antigen/antibody test result that does not show a response to show the existence of HIV antibody and/or antigen. You do not have any type of sign of HIV infection.
A favorable HIV examination result is when an examination returns an initial favorable outcome as well as must be subsequent with a confirmatory examination in a Health center or center.
Are all downsides true downsides?
A Non-Reactive (adverse) examination indicates that anti-HIV antibodies were not found in the specimen. This test result is taken Negative.
It is feasible to get an unfavorable testing examination if the infection is really current. This could be since there is a home window period of a number of weeks when an individual may be contaminated but antibodies to the infection have actually not reached a concentration that is visible. Consequently, if a person has particular danger variables, or assumes they could have been subjected to HIV, they have to be retested in three months to be particular of an adverse outcome. The team at Heartland CARES will certainly instruct you on risk-reduction steps to make use of in the meantime to keep yourself as well as your partners risk-free.

This is a "finger stick" blood examination.

Life needs a little luxury.
But it doesn’t have to break the bank. I am talking little things every once in a while. Little pick me ups.
Maybe you need them daily or weekly or maybe after a really long stressful week you need them all.
Little things that brighten your day and make all the crazy, busy life stuff worth it.
You may find your luxuries at the corner coffee shop or in a candy box or wrapped in a blanket with a good book.
Luxuries are unique to the person. I find luxury in good chocolate, great coffee and a few minutes of quiet.
Below you will find a list of 7 luxuries that are only a click away. And if you have Amazon Prime they will be delivered in two days.
1. Chocolate… what else do I need to say.
Life is always better with chocolate and when it’s creamy dark and melts in your mouth it is even better. Lindt Excellence – Touch of Sea Salt chocolate bar is divine.
It’s just the right amount of salt and cocoa to balance out even the most stressful of days.
2. Coffee…mornings are always better with coffee.
Smooth, sweet and balanced to help you approach your day. Or maybe you are an afternoon pick me up coffee drinker or an evening cup and conversation type.
Peet’s Cafe Domingo Medium Roast Coffee is a great way to start your day. Fresh quality, brews the best cup of coffee. This medium roast is smooth and aromatic blend of Latin American Coffee.
3. A good book makes the day.
I always end the day reading a great book and my son does the same. Its a great way to quiet the mind, relax and unwind. Maybe learn something new or expand our imagination.
Currently I am reading Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis and this book is great. I think every woman and man on the planet should read it. You can become who you want to be.
The kindle version is within the budget of $10.
4. Massages that make you melt.
Sometime we just need a great back rub. Feel your tension and stress melt away with the Luxury Jade Roller.
This double sided authentic jade roller can be used for facial massage or body lymphatic massage. Heal your mind and body.
5. Sometimes a good bath is all you need.
Stretch out and unwind in a warm bath with lavender and chamomile Aqua Spa Bath Oil.
Add a couple of cucumber slices to reduce the puffy eyes and you have a relaxing spa afternoon or evening.
Bath oil will help replenish your skins moisture and lavender will help relax you.
6. Sometimes we just need something pretty.
Who says something pretty must cost the world. Bracelets are a great addition to any outfit and a little bit of luxury to add to your day.
This multi-layer leather and sparkle bracelet by 17 mile is a great piece of luxury.
7. Great smells are a little bit of luxury.
Even better when they help you relax and unwind. If you have trouble sleeping at night add a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil to a tissue and place it in your pillowcase just before bed.
This trick works wonders even on my worst insomnia nights. Lavender essential oils can also be added to a diffuser or bath for the relaxation benefits.
Don’t need to break the bank. Simple, easy bits of luxury that cost less than $10 each. Sometimes in life it’s the simple things that are the best. | 2019-04-24T22:28:58 | https://savingandsimplicity.com/7-luxuries-under-10/ | [

When online travel expense software provider Certify released its Q2 data this year, it was no surprise to see that Uber claimed the top spot again, not only as the highest receipts among ride-hails (74 percent compared to taxi’s 7 percent), but also as the largest expense overall for business travelers turning in their sheets. This quarter (Q3), Uber’s biggest competition, Lyft, debuted in the sixth spot for the first time. Currently, Lyft represents about 20 percent of all ride-share expenses through Certify.
For context: As recently as 2013, taxis was in the top 10, albeit in the tenth placeholder, among companies like Delta, United, and Starbucks. Just four years ago, taxis made up 74 percent of receipts—which shows how quickly the traditional transportation provider was pushed to the sidelines. Since Q3 2013, the category of taxis has not been seen in the top 10 again. Uber made the list beginning in 2015 in third place, and has claimed the gold every quarter thereafter. This clearly shows that corporate travel policies have been relaxed.
But these data also show another interesting trend: the impact that technology has had on business travel. The top 10 slots were once dominated by companies like AT&T (for a phone charger, perhaps?) or National Car Rental, but now Amazon has also found its way onto the list instead. According to Recode, people are buying everything on Amazon from “business supplies to cloud computing to food delivery.” The online retail giant hasn’t been able to nudge out list mainstay Walmart just yet, but Amazon’s average spend of $110 is nearly double that of Walmart’s.
Have you recently cleaned up your smartphone’s list of apps and noticed that you’re still getting notifications about it? Our editors did, and we did some research to see if we were imagining things. It turns out, developers are using new uninstall trackers to target fed-up users who have removed the app. Through these trackers, app companies can pester erstwhile users with specific ads to get them to come back ... or at least attempt to make them think they are missing out after ditching their product. It’s more than sending an email: These uninstall trackers send push notifications and pepper former users with ads, which has some up in arms about privacy settings. In fact, according to Bloomberg, those trackers violate Apple and Google policies against using silent push notifications to build advertising audiences. But as we all know, it takes patience waiting for regulations to catch up with reality, so expect that some of your former apps will have a harder time moving on after the breakup than you will.
We talk a lot about Millennials (or Gen Y as they are sometimes called) in the pages of CD because of their force as a generation, but both Y and their younger brothers and sisters in Gen Z are making an impact on the business travel marketplace. International travel is a $1.4 trillion industry, so vendors are obviously bending as quickly as possible to the needs of their largest demographics. Older generations that have obligations like kids and a mortgage might still enjoy the occasional travel for the job, but younger workers are actively seeking out positions that require travel. Travel management company TripActions surveyed nearly 3,000 business travelers for its State of Business Travel report and found that about 40 percent of younger workers would NOT accept a job if it did not include travel—which they overwhelmingly see as a perk (90 percent). It comes as no surprise that they prefer boutique or unique accommodations like Airbnb, and that they will book outside their employers’ legacy program to get it. What wasn’t surprising: 64 percent said that they were “on their own” to solve problems on the road. According to the report: “Round-the-clock proactive support reduces stress for employees, giving them the ease of mind they need to better focus on the task at hand.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call duty of care. It should be a part of every proposal, conservation, and email you have with corporate travel managers. | 2019-04-23T04:37:45 | https://www.chauffeurdriven.com/news-features/in-this-issue/1973-in-case-you-missed-it-november-2018.html | [

I have a tongue but cannot taste. My servants work hard below me. I am banned in lands where the Crescent Moon reigns. My kin have been made into canon.

The St. Louis Fed’s Financial Stress Index (STLFSI) is one index that is supposed to measure stress in the financial system. Its reading as of the January 25, 2018 update (reflecting data through January 19, 2018) is -1.463.

While the concept of Americans’ incomes can be defined in a number of ways, many prominent measures continue to show disconcerting trends.
One prominent measure is the Employment Cost Index (ECI).
The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a quarterly measure of the change in the price of labor, defined as compensation per employee hour worked. Closely watched by many economists, the ECI is an indicator of cost pressures within companies that could lead to price inflation for finished goods and services. The index measures changes in the cost of compensation not only for wages and salaries, but also for an extensive list of benefits. As a fixed-weight, or Laspeyres, index, the ECI controls for changes occurring over time in the industrial-occupational composition of employment.

I found President Trump’s State of the Union Address last night (January 30, 2018) to contain some noteworthy comments. While I could comment extensively on many parts of the speech, for now I will indicate excerpts that I found most relevant with regard to the economic situation, and may comment upon them at a future point. I am highlighting these excerpts for many reasons; it should be noted that I do not necessarily agree with any or all of them.

While I don’t agree with the methodologies employed or the probabilities of impending economic weakness as depicted by these and other estimates, I do believe that the results of these models and estimates should be monitored.
This index measures the probability that the U.S. economy was in a recession during the indicated quarter. It is based on a mathematical description of the way that recessions differ from expansions. The index corresponds to the probability (measured in percent) that the underlying true economic regime is one of recession based on the available data. Whereas the NBER business cycle dates are based on a subjective assessment of a variety of indicators that may not be released until several years after the event , this index is entirely mechanical, is based solely on currently available GDP data and is reported every quarter. Due to the possibility of data revisions and the challenges in accurately identifying the business cycle phase, the index is calculated for the quarter just preceding the most recently available GDP numbers. Once the index is calculated for that quarter, it is never subsequently revised. The value at every date was inferred using only data that were available one quarter after that date and as those data were reported at the time.
Additional reference sources for this index and its construction can be seen in the Econbrowser post of February 14, 2016 titled “Recession probabilities” as well as on the “The Econbrowser Recession Indicator Index” page.

I have written extensively about U.S. interest rates and their importance. Rising interest rates have substantial ramifications for many aspects of the current-day economy. My commentaries with regard to interest rates and the bond bubble are largely found under the “bond bubble” tag. From an intervention perspective commentary is found under the “Intervention” category.

On this site numerous highly problematical issues concerning the U.S. economy and financial system have been discussed.
Of key importance is the resulting level of risk and future implications.
As discussed in the September 29, 2017 post (“Problematical Aspects Of Today’s Financial System“) the almost universal opinion is that the financial system is strong, in (large) part due to various reforms enacted since the Financial Crisis.
However, there are many reasons to believe that this widely-held assessment is incorrect. At this time, due to many problematical areas, from an “all things considered” basis I would assess the overall level of embedded peril to far exceed that previously experienced in the United States, including the level in existence prior to and during the Great Depression.
While no one likes to contemplate a future rife with economic adversity, the resolution of the problematical issues in the economy and financial system will lead to what I have previously referred to as a “Super Depression,” i.e. a severe economic depression characterized by difficult-to-solve problems.

If the female is flagging, she is ready to breed. The drive to breed in a male is the strongest that he has, even stronger than food. He should be all over her. Still, if he is young and inexperienced, you may have to get him up to the female and, ah, use your hand to stimualte him a bit to build the drive. Once he gets going a little, push him away and let him come back for more. Stimulate... if the dog is a female she will hold her tale to her side exposing her gentiles. and she will pump her back lags up & down. if the dog is male he will get on the females back.
Is it possible to mate my mixed-breed female dog, short of letting her run with any dog in the local park? Owners of pedigree studs will sometimes allow mating with a non-purebred dog. This is particularly useful if you want to concentrate on a particular characteristic or conformation.... if the dog is a female she will hold her tale to her side exposing her gentiles. and she will pump her back lags up & down. if the dog is male he will get on the females back.
how can i make my male dog breed with my female dog Well, she's a smart dog not wanting to breed with a mix and have mixed breed puppies. But if she is biting at him, the real reason is probably because she is not ready yet. A ***** goes into her heat cycle and begins to show color (bleed). She should only bleed for about 9 to 10 days. The day the bleeding stops she will be ready to breed... Dog can still want to mate even if they are fixed because my sisters dog had mated with a dog and he is fixed for over2 years but he could not get her pregnant. And now he wants to mate with my 6 month old lab that I will not allow so a dog can still want to mate and he is 6 now.
However, this is a long term, 100% effective preventative measure to take if you don’t want your dog to get pregnant after mating, or ever again.

If your female dog approaches your male dog with her derriere prominently raised, she's communicating that she wants him to mate with her. She also might show other body clues that point to mating -- such as tightening up her back limbs and moving her tail away from the center of her body. | 2019-04-20T05:20:03 | http://mleb.net/australian-capital-territory/how-to-make-a-female-dog-want-to-mate.php | [

The saying goes that "shoes make the outfit." While I love me some high heels, my normal day to day attire consists of flats (sneakers, brogues, ballet, etc). For where I work, it's the most practical. And most of the street style shots I love feature ladies with some killer heels and I agree--those heels make the outfit. So when I come across outfits where people are wearing flats, I get giddy.
Vanessa Jackman takes some mean shots (in a good way) and I adore the outfits the ladies in the photos have on. Each person has a different style and the shoes definitely help finish off the outfit. And yes, they are flat shoes! | 2019-04-26T13:40:57 | http://www.adoretoadorn.com/2011/03/dressing-up-flats.html | [

In this world I'm working on, magic is extremely bound by the laws of physics. Magic is explicable through science, and many people study it. The study of magic itself is like studying physics; the study of applied magic is like engineering. I like to think of magic as behaving similar to electromagnetism. Humans emit electromagnetic radiation naturally, but it would be very unnatural if a human suddenly could shoot out a bolt of lightning, or if they could use their bare hands to power a circuit.
In a world like that, where magic is akin to electromagnetism, how would a civilized society react to individuals capable of magical feats? Note that these mages would be incredibly rare--perhaps 1 for every 750,000.
Society would view this as a threat and eliminate it entirely.
Society, already advanced in studying magic, wishes to learn more and wants to determine if the condition can be induced onto others.
Society finds a means of using their abilities to conduct war and trains them as soldiers.
I can see a lot of possibilities. I want to know: which possibility, of the ones above or otherwise, is the most realistic one to occur, and why?
1: Does magic run in families or is it totally random?
Let's say that it is beyond the scope of genetics. It is not inherited. No single race or ethnicity is more likely than another to have mages appear. Mages may also appear in animals, but the scope of ability is limited based on physical constraints. A cow's magic is different than a human's.
2: Is it a recent thing? Did mages start appearing like X-Men or have they always been?
It is not a recent thing, but it gets more noticeable as time goes on due to ease of communication amongst people. Additionally, since the probably of being born a mage remains the same throughout time, having an increased population means the likelihood of mages appearing also increases over time.
3: Do mages have any historical organization/guild/power base?
I doubt this largely because of how rare it is, though I can see these emerging as time goes on, for reasons stated in 2.
4: Just how powerful are they? World shattering, city shattering or small country village shattering?
This I believe varies greatly depending on the individual. While some mages may only be able to, say, cause light to emerge from their hands, others may very well be capable of devastating offensive tactics. That said, since I do want magic to be at least partially tied down to a scientific study, I wouldn't imagine an individual capable of destroying the world. For cities, it'd likely have to be a small one. Humans have limits, and as such human mages also have limits.
All three. Here in the US you would likely get all three in one country. The average person would probably fear them, some would find them fascinating, elevating them to the level of super-stars, 'scientists' would want to study them, and governments would want to control them and use them as a threat or worse.
Re the answers: since they've existed historically I'd say that puts them in a different light. Mages aren't going to be in competition with governments: historically they've been governments or a major part of the power base of governments.
But no dynasties since it doesn't run in families. If it did then mages would be the dominant group with almost all royal families being very magical.
In fact I can imagine that history would look very different. Before the invention of guns/sniper rifles mages would have been the dominant force in any war. Since it's totally random and 99% of the population would have been dirt poor every generation almost all of the most powerful people in the world would would have risen from poverty to the heights of power. Any nobility that abused the poor would be facing a new ruler who had been born in poverty within a few decades.
Social mobility is going to look quite different and there's unlikely to have been a history of long-term royal lines. Indeed such a world is likely to have been far more egalitarian out of practical and justified fear, any big country is going to produce a few mages and most will be born the children of peasants.
For stability it's likely that mages will seek out others like themselves to form some kind of guild in order to get some kind of continuity of power and to make sure their grandkids aren't slaughtered by the next generation of mages.
2 and 3 are certain though whether mages are the ones controlling it is uncertain.
Finding mages at a young age when they can still be indoctrinated will have become part of the culture but they'll have been scooped out of the regular population so predictably that social views towards them would probably be highly negative.
A countries mages are likely to be viewed as a major military asset but if they've been part of the system for many centuries they're likely to have status as well.
Also there will be a lot of chicken mages. Worldwide over 50 billion chickens bred every year so that well over 50,000 chicken-mages. If their power can be tapped it will be.
A civilised society would probably become a mix of scared, angered, confused, curious, interested and intrigued. Here are the reasons for each of these: Scared/angered because this magic could easily be misused (depending on how destructive this feat of magic was). Confused/curious/interested because of what just happened (depending on what exactly happened though). Intrigued because of the abnormality of what just happened (depending on how dramatic this magic was).
Another thing that would probably happen is if the police equivalent in your society (assuming there is a police equivalent) are there during the feat there will probably be actions taken to restrict the person who did the magic (again depending on how dramatic and how destructive this magic was) to ensure safety of the public. What exactly would happen to the person after that would mostly depend on what sort of police exists in your society (are the police more aggressive and brutal or are they more calm), how dramatic and destructive this magical feat was and what the witnesses say as well as the "magic guy"'s attitude/reaction towards the police.
If the police weren't there at the time but were notified about it by a decent amount of people then an investigation would probably take place. If the police are ultra brutal and aggressive then they might take a much more direct approach like searching for this person house by house.
I can't be too specific because a lot of this depends on the type of society it is and specifics but hopefully this narrows it down a bit.
EDIT: I replied before you editted the question to include the three different thoughts.
First of all, 1:750k isn't super-rare. Europe has almost 750 million people currently. So there would be around a thousand of your mages in Europe alone, and ten times as many globally.
That is more than enough to form their own society, organisations, maybe even small country.
The answers to your question depend a lot on whether or not this happens. You evade the question with your answer 2, but it is absolutely vital to the entire concept.
If they don't form a guild, the governments of the world have more than enough means to control them. Some would use positive reinforcement (honours, loyalty, etc.) some would use soft pressure (prejudices in society, cultural taboos), some hard pressure (laws, regulations, punishments) and some suppression (jail, execution).
Society would react much like it does to anything else. Drugs, climate change, disasters, new technology - with a variety of responses.
If the mages cooperate and form an organisation, they can free themselves from outside influence. They would become a player in global politics instead of pawns - with all the opportunities and risks associated.
If they have a physical location, they need to be ready for war. Someone will want to fight them, for religious or other reasons. If they don't have a physical location, they will be in the place of other international organisations, and can potentially be restrained by laws or sanctions.
Many possibilities are discussed in the TV Tropes page for "Super Registration Act": http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperRegistrationAct .
One particular one which seems likely to me is that mages would not be explicitly forbidden to use their magic, but would be so tightly regulated that magic use became next to impossible in practice. You'd have to submit an application in triplicate three months in advance before you cured a wart.
A good effect of this from the government's point of view would be that mages would be willing to join the government research programme or the army simply to get a chance to use their powers - without the government having to introduce conscription, or fend off civil rights lawyers.
How would magic affect the subjects taught in school? | 2019-04-24T06:43:31 | https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/15491/how-would-a-civilized-society-react-to-extremely-rare-mages | [

In another bizarre twist for the campaign of Donald Trump, the reality-TV star turned presidential candidate, the Huffington Post learned that the directors of the white nationalist American Freedom Party (AFP) have decided to “tone down” the rhetoric in order to get Trump elected. Emails obtained by the Huffington Post show the AFP’s directors working to “moderate” their message to obtain broader appeal.
Johnson claims to have personally answered hundreds of replies to the robocalls, which “were surprisingly favorable to Donald Trump. So yes, there is merit in toning down a white nationalist message to reach Trump supporters.” Trump has disavowed Johnson and his group, but it should surprise no one that according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the AFP was “initially established by racist Southern California skinheads and aims to deport immigrants and return the United States to white rule” – beliefs consistent with Trump’s rampant xenophobic stump rhetoric.
Trump is likely to be the Republican nominee for president. A man who incites violence at his rallies, is a serial liar (Politifact reports only 7% what he says is true), a racist, and a misogynist. Trump is also a rampant xenophobe, who has threatened to deport 11 million immigrants and ban all Muslims from this country. Donald Trump is a fascist authoritarian, and whether or not he publicly denounces white supremacist groups, his actions show he is aligned with their ideas and clearly the groups also believe that to be the case. Is this really the man we want representing the American people and American values throughout the world? | 2019-04-18T12:32:57 | http://occupydemocrats.com/2016/04/05/leaked-emails-reveal-white-supremacy-groups-plotting-help-trump/ | [

Home » BC Network » Recent Updates » Heidi MacDonald To Sing Karaoke Again. World Trembles.
Have these people learned nothing? Do they actually want to raise money for charity? I only ask because the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund appears to be running a Live Rock And Roll Karaoke night during the MoCCA festival in New York.
And it’s being co-hosted by comics blogger, editor and PR maestro Heidi MacDonald.
You don’t understand, I’ve been there, I experienced the horrors of Heidi’s karaoke for myself. I even tried to warn you all with the YouTube video featured below.
But you wouldn’t listen. You’re giving her the mike again. And she’s going to start belting out Deep Purple like there’s no tomorrow. And maybe, after she’s finished with us, there won’t be one.
Do whatever you can to stop this travesty. Go to M1-5 in Tribeca from 7pm this Saturday. Pay the suggested donation. Get close to Heidi. Wait till she gets close to the microphone. | 2019-04-18T13:21:27 | https://www.bleedingcool.com/2009/06/02/heidi-macdonald-to-sing-karaoke-again-word-trembles/ | [

Saudi’s Shoura Council Seeks Probe Into Haramain Rail Project Delays - railmeds JimdoPage!
04/06/2014 (Gulf Business - UAE): Saudi Arabia’s Shoura Council has asked the national anti-corruption commission (Nazaha) to investigate the delay in the completion of the Haramain Railway project. The Haramain high-speed link, which will link the holy cities of Makkah and Medina, has seen a number of construction delays, which have pushed back its launch date to 2016 from 2012. The project has also seen cost revisions from $12 billion to $14 billion, according to an earlier report by Saudi Railway Organisation (SRO). “The Nazaha should also investigate the budget allocated to the Haramain Railway project and the reasons for the increase in the funds needed for the completion of the project,” the Shoura Council said in a meeting held to discuss the annual report of the SRO, Arab News reported.
02/06/2014 (Gulf News - UAE): Abu Dhabi: Etihad Rail — the developer and operator of the UAE’s national railway network — has said it has achieved more than 10 million working man-hours, or over 250 days, with zero lost-time injuries.“This achievement, which includes time dedicated to the testing and commissioning of trains since September last year, reflects that the high safety standards of the rail industry have carried over into Etihad Rail’s activities prior to the launch of commercial operations,” said Engineer Faris Saif Al Mazroui, Acting CEO of Etihad Rail. Al Mazroui added that at Etihad Rail, they believe that all accidents, injuries and work-related illnesses are preventable, with safety being a value and mind-set shared by all. “From senior management through to the frontline, each of our employees and contractors is trained and empowered to eliminate unsafe conditions and implement the necessary corrective actions to make an area or situation safe. This has resulted in a common set of principles and behaviours that ensures working safely is part of our daily business. This 10 million hours figure is a significant milestone for us, particularly considering the challenging desert conditions of the Western Region,” Al Mazroui said.
06/06/2014 (AzerNews - Azerbaijan): Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Iran railway will be put into operation this year. The remark was made Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov at a meeting with his Kazakh counterpart Nursultan Nazarbayev in Turkey. Turkmen and Kazakh presidents met as part of the Summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-Speaking States (CCTS), held in Turkey's Bodrum city on June 5. During the talks the Turkmen president invited his Kazakh counterpart to take part in the solemn ceremony of opening of this strategic railway, which is an essential part of the North-South transport corridor, with a global significance. The sides also noted the new railway will provide a convenient and economical transportation of goods to South Asia, to the Gulf ports, as well as in the opposite direction - to the Eastern Europe through Russia, Turkmen media reported.
Qatar committed to schedule of GCC railway network - Min.
02/06/2014 (KUNA - Kuwait): DOHA, June 2 (KUNA) -- Qatari Minister of Transport Jassem Al-Sulaiti on Monday reaffirmed his country's commitment to the schedule of the implementation of the GCC railway network, due to go operational by 2018. "The developers of this mega project in the GCC member states are working closely together to lay out the designs of project; this process is well underway and will complete this year," the minister told reporters. Al-Sulaiti made the comments on the sidelines of the IATA's 70th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit, being hosted by Qatar Airways (QA). "Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have already made good progress, compared with other GCC countries, in the development of technical and feasibility studies and offering them to bidders," he pointed out. "The meeting of the GCC ministers of transport and communication in Bahrain two months ago was a step forward towards the implementation of the project," he recalled, noting that undersecretary of the Bahraini Ministry of Transportation will be visiting Doha on Thursday for technical talks on the project.
03/06/2014 (The New India Express - India): As the Modi government defines its foreign policy priorities, one of the issues that needs urgent attention is the finalisation of India’s investment in the development of Chabahar Port in Iran. This is particularly important because the window of opportunity available to India to have a presence in Chabahar may be closing rapidly. India and Iran had agreed to cooperate on the development of this Iranian port way back in 2003 when Iran’s president Mohammad Khatami had visited India but nothing much has been achieved in these 11 years. It appears the previous government was close to approving US $100 million investment in the development of the port but could not take the decision. The new government could pick up the threads and quickly seal the deal. The strategic importance of Chabahar Port for India cannot be overstated. Located in the Sistan-Baluchistan province of Iran on the Makram coast and just outside the Persian Gulf, Chabahar is a natural gateway for India to Afghanistan and Central Asia. In the last 10 years, the Iranians have invested considerable sums of money in the development of Chabahar city. A 600km-long highway linking Chabahar to Zahidan in the north is operational.
01/06/2014 (Fars News - Iran): TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Ambassador to Moscow Mahdi Sanayee and Head of the Russian State Railways Company Alexander Yakunin pledged to do their best to complete joint railroad projects, specially the one which will link the two countries via the Azerbaijan Republic. In a meeting on Friday, the two officials voiced readiness for consolidating Tehran-Moscow economic cooperation in all domains, particularly joint railway projects. “The plan for connecting the two countries through railway is practically complete now and only a few kilometers of it have remained, whose construction will not take a long period,” said the Iranian ambassador. Sanayee went on to say that there are four other joint projects between the two countries in railway transportation field, including electrifying the two countries’ railway systems. Iran-Russia trade currently totals $5bln a year, but economists say they can at least quadruple the volume of their trade exchanges.
06/06/2014 (ABC - Azerbaijan): The Asian Development Bank (ADB) informs hat it keeps in force its proposal of technical assistance for the preparation of Multi-Financing Facility (MFF) Preparing MFF Railway Investment Program. "The Bank is ready to award a $1 million grant for MFF preparation," the ADB said. CJSC Azerbaijani Railways (ADY) remains an attractive partner for ADB. Thus, in the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), which is being prepared for Azerbaijan and will cover the period of 2018-19, cooperation in the development of the railway system in the country remains a priority. The Strategy has not been adopted, but back in 2010 the government refused from the use of Bank’s finances under the formal pretext of lack of investment project. Then ADB planned to approve the first tranche in the amount of $200 million with overall Preparing the Railways Sector Development Program MFF loan in the amount of $500 million. The Bank-drawn consultants fulfilled successfully the first stage of technical assistance by 13 April 2010. The second stage of works on technical assistance (feasibility study and preliminary designing of first tranche of MFF) was never started.
06/06/2014 (RT - Russia): Russia will team up with North and South Korea in a railroad construction project that could restore peace between the two neighbors. The link will extend the world’s longest railroad, so goods can be shipped between Europe and Korea 3x faster. Russia’s Minister for Far East Development Aleksander Galushka announced the plan to extend the Trans-Siberian Railroad at a meeting in Vladivostok on Thursday. The expansion would provide a link between the Korean peninsula and Europe’s $17 trillion economy, making Russia a major transit route between Europe and Asia. Shipping by rail is nearly 3 times faster than via the Suez Canal, Russian Railways CEO Vladimir Bakunin has said.
04/06/2014 (Global Post - USA): URUMQI, June 4 (Xinhua) -- The trial run for the first high-speed railway in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region started on Tuesday, marking a countdown to formal operations by the end of the year and a confidence boost to the region. A CRH2-061C high-speed train ran through the 300-km Urumqi-Shanshan section at speeds of 160 km to 277 km per hour. The designed speed is 250 km per hour, but the train must slow down when passing through windy areas. The train is part of the Second Double-track Line of the Lanxin Railway, which links Lanzhou City in northwestern Gansu Province and Urumqi. The 1,776-km line crosses a vast expanse of the Gobi Desert and windy areas -- a major technical feat -- and will be Xinjiang's first high-speed railway when it begins operation by the end of 2014. With the new railway, travel time between Lanzhou and Urumqi will be cut from the current 21 hours to 8 hours or less.
06/06/2014 (The Nation - Pakistan): ISLAMABAD - Ministry of Railways on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with leading state-owned Chinese company, China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC). The agreement was signed between RAILCOP, a subsidiary company of Pakistan Railways and the CGGC which is a subsidiary company of China Energy Engineering Corporation.
The MoU demanded RAILCOP to work as local partner of Chinese company in Pakistan to identify potential construction projects and relevant information. As per agreement RAILCOP would also ensure complete cooperation in provision of engineers and supporting staff under the clause of human resource cooperation. It is pertinent to mention here that presently, the CGGC company is working on 1.5 billion US dollars Neelum - Jhelum Hydro Project. Recently, the company has also submitted expression of interest for National Highways Authority’s Lahore - Karachi motorway project. | 2019-04-25T22:01:51 | https://www.railmed.org/webnews/archive-2014/june/ | [

Though it was late, I measured out a cup of laundry detergent and shoved the clothes robotically into our front loader. My mind was traveling through Africa, Washington, California, England, and other parts of the globe, smothering heaven with prayer requests.
Lord, I am so burdened for _________. I can’t even imagine the suffering and physical torment she described in her e-mail. And then there’s ________. I don’t know how she lives with migraines every single day; lying in the stillness and silence of her dark room, indescribable pressing that keeps her from friends and family. You’ve also heard and held the tears of ______ while they are struggling with relentless hip pain.
And then, it was as though the Holy Spirit interrupted my pathway of intercession and repositioned my gaze on a friend’s face that’s been in heaven for seven years now. Mary Barrett was a very special friend in my life. She was not only a gifted singer and musician, but she was entrusted by the Lord with a special anointing that enabled people to easily enter into worship and feel as though they were near heaven itself. There was a holiness and peace and joy that would fill the air and humble a heart before God.
I remember times at an annual conference we would attend, that a group of people would be sitting in a circle around her, all with their own guitars, eager to learn whatever she would show them. But what was so attractive to others, was not something that could be learned or imitated. It was the invisible, touchable work of the Holy Spirit through her. After one conference in particular, I nicknamed her “Myrrh-ee”. I had read in quite a few places that though myrrh had its own fragrance, it was best used as an enhancer, so it’s often combined to bring out the full aroma of another. Her friendship and gift of music was like that to me; though she definitely had her own unique flavor and aroma, when she sang or spoke about Jesus, His aroma was all that you were aware of.
Why was I reminded of her Lord?
Mary and Mom. Singing in heaven together now.
Then I thought of her final days here on earth. Mary was dying a very painful death from cancer. Some nights, the pain kept her awake, while others, were from the steroids to help her breathe. When she’d call on the phone, it was hard to hear her voice. She’d labor in her breathing, and sometimes only have strength to whisper. There were no more belly laugh’s. No more conversations with her while she drove her convertible Miata to pick up her little dog Charlie at her moms. But…”Myrrh-ee” could do nothing but enhance the Lord Jesus. And then I understood why her face interrupted my prayers.
The last time she sang this song at our pastor’s wives retreat, she whipped off her chemotherapy wig at the end and we all clapped endlessly. Yes, for her, yet ultimately, for King Jesus. The absolute Victor over all things hell could ever send our way.
Here’s a link (that can lead to others) of her recording just a few weeks before her passing.
‘thank you for sharing this as it opened my heart to what a friend is dealing with in her war against cancer.
I’m so sorry Arturo. What a friend she has in you that you consider her and know how better to pray. May she know Jesus draws so close to the broken who call on Him and catches every tear when they cry.
Thank you for sharing Shannon. A helpful redirection for me in physical trials as well. His crushing comes only to release His fragrance; may I always remember, and look for it.
Shannon I shared this a year ago and Facebook reminded of it this morning. I’m reminded of the ladies’ conferences at Grand Island and how sweet Mary always played that song before we all went our separate ways. Such encouragement! As I deal with some physical issues, feeling old too soon, and often being fearful of the future this brings me into focus. Reminding me of Who is ordering my steps, even the painful ones.
Thank you so much for sharing Berni. Pain always seems to come too soon, last too long, and take too much. But in Him, He redeems all things…even our suffering. Love your reflection and thankful it encouraged you. | 2019-04-24T04:18:08 | http://aquietplaceofgrace.org/beauty-of-myrhh-a-tribute-to-mary-barrett-my-pain-pals/ | [

The months-long standoff between Fiji’s government and the country’s largest Christian denomination became more heated last week when police arrested, held and later charged seven Methodist Church officials and a high-ranking chief for “incitement” and infringing on emergency rules regarding meetings.
The government alleges that Rewa High Chief Ro Teimumu Kepa broke meeting rules when she met with Methodist church leaders to plan its annual two-week conference that the government has refused to issue a permit. The conference was scheduled to take place near the end of August in her province of Rewa, a poor, mostly rural area not far from the capital Suva. It brings in tens of thousands of members, includes choir competitions and provides a substantial amount of fundraising for the church.
The government denied a permit for this year’s conference because leaders refused to not include two of its former presidents, Manasa Lasaro and Tomasi Kanailagi, and remove any political discussions from its agenda.
Detractors of both men accuse them of mixing ethno-nationalist politics and religion.
Both men also attended the alleged planning meeting and were arrested. Judges released all eight people on $500 bail and (for some) forfeiture of travel documents. They will reappear in court August 13.
The predominately indigenous Fijian Methodist church, which nearly one-third of the country's population belongs, was closely aligned with the government of Laisenia Qarase, which ruled from 2001 until it was overthrown in December 2006 by Commodore Frank Bainimarama for what he called corrupt and racist rule that benefited indigenous Fijians at the expense of other ethnic groups. It was Fiji’s fourth military coup since 1987.
After a court ruled in April the 2006 takeover was illegal, Fiji’s president annulled the country’s constitution, fired the entire judiciary and appointed Frank Bainimarama to a five-year term before elections will be held. The government then passed a series of Public Emergency Regulations, controlling the media and limiting assembly.
Insaafi, writing in Raw Fiji News, says the arrests are a a case against religious freedom.
The issue is not so much that a high chief has been apprehended at midnight and taken for questioning without any justfication.
It is more about the moral repugnance and abomination of denial of very basic tenets of natural justice to a decent citizen of fiji whose rights to human freedom , dignity and freedom of speech are enshrined in not only the abbrogated constitution but also in the preamble to the Charter tha the regime has adopted as its mantra.
It is also about the traditional respect that we have for all the mothers, sisters and citisens of our country.
Religious freedoms form the cornestone of all civilised societies and the suppression of the Methodists in Fiji cannot and should not be condoned by those who have any respect for their own rights and religions.
It is time for all the religious groups to show total solidarity with the Methodists.
Intelligentsiya argues by picking a fight with the powerful Methodist church, the military government may soon meet its match.
The Methodist Church remains steadfast and refuses to budge on their intent to hold their conference.
There could be wave after wave of believers willing to face persecution and oppression for the Lord's work (as is foretold in the good book). This time Bainimarama has picked a fight with the wrong foe – God.
Let's see how many methodists the military can round up and charge with incitement, before they collapse in exhaustion or run out of holding capacity.
However, an anonymous comment in the above post criticizes Church leadership.
As a Christian, I am sick and tired of publicity hungry chiefs seeking political notoriety, without dealing with what's important, standing amongst distracting homosexual looking Kanailagi crying out as victims of what they created.
Impure intentions of the embittered and the desperate, missing what once was which many did not favor, feeling rebuffed by a government who professed to represent us, the common average hardworking invisible people of Fiji.
Real Fiji News contends this is issue is political and not religious.
We should be reminded that only a hand full of Methodists have a political agenda, which consequently is destroying the religious values for the remainder of the 300,000 followers.
This is not about religion its about POLITICS. The Government is NOT against the Methodists, its against the POLITICS, lets be constantly reminded of that. The SDL party has freely admitted it has a clear strategy with regards to the Methodist church and the current government.
For a few bloggers, however, the arrests and charges do not represent a fight between the government and the Methodist church; rather, it is a battle against Rewa High Chief Ro Teimumu Kepa, a practicing Catholic who was Minister of Education in the SDL-led Qarase government.
What makes this issue so complicated – and potentially destabilizing – is it intersects so many fault lines within indigenous Fijian society: Namely, the role religion plays in the public sphere and the power indigenous chiefs have in politics. Some in Fiji are more than willing for chiefs and church leaders to entertain political aspirations.
Others point out that there is no place for either in modern society. They argue Fiji is a multi-ethnic and poly-religious nation – with other ethnic groups, especially ethnic Indians, making up nearly 40 percent of the country’s population and non-Christian worshippers accounting for more than 30 percent of those who live in Fiji.
Jenny Hayward-Jones, blogging at the Lowy Interpreter, argues the arrests were a desperate move by the government.
Yesterday's arrests in Fiji of the leadership of the Methodist Church and a female paramount chief are a dramatic development in Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama’s quest to increase his control over the country. Whether they will be the trigger for the ultimate demise of his leadership, or civil unrest, or whether they are a sign of the permanent entrenchment of a military dictatorship remains to be seen.
The arrests are a clear threat to two key pillars of Fiji society – the Methodist Church and the Chiefly System – and represent the most significant provocation from Bainimarama to civil society in Fiji since the 2006 coup. It’s a risky and desperate move from a leader who claims to understand the ‘Pacific Way’.
Laminar Flow, writing in Stuck in Fiji M.U.D., asserts the so-called pillars no longer have a pull on anyone in the country.
The proverbial pillars of Fiji's society, which Jones raised in her latest blog posting, was an emotional appeal for incitement. It may have escaped the mind of Jones, that those dual pillars she had highlighted; are so out of touch of reality that their influence on Fiji's populace has dwindled to a such a pathetic degree that, their appeal is actually anachronistic-oblivious to the changing demographics of Fiji's modern society.
Both pillars are no longer load bearing entities in politics, as they once were. Currently both bedfellows flaunt their roles in public, but the actual process of reducing their Chiefly/Religious footprint in Fiji politics would neither dent nor damage, the structural integrity of the progressing nation.
Nasima, writing in the Soli Vakasama blogsite, salutes a “true chief” like Ro Teimumu for defending her people.
A true chief will acknowledge that without his/her people, they are nothing. Therefore his/her service will always be to the people first and self later. A chief who respect his people will get respect in return and a true chief will readily acknowledge that people’s respect should never be taken for granted to justify discontinuing his respect for his people. A true chief will always have the welfare of his people close to his heart.
The above is rarely witnessed nowadays because true Fijians chiefs are an endangered species. Sadly, there are not many of them around and the Fijian people, as a unique race on the face of this earth, are being led to a slow death. Wannabe chiefs are more concerned with the figure in their bank account than with the livelihood of their people.
Many will highlight the fact that a woman is standing up in the face of danger to fight for what she believe in because of the Christian faith gifted to her and her people by her forefathers. What many will fail to realise is that regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, it takes a true blue blood to flow in your veins to be able counter head-on the dangers, the likes of which is descending upon the Fijian people.
My interpretation is that her primary purpose is to use the Conference as a means to create unrest and rally mass Fijian support for a political cause she shares with extreme Fijian nationalists. That is, to overthrow the Bainimarama government and see the return of a government that puts chiefly, and Fijian elite rights and privileges, ahead of those of other citizens, including those of ordinary Fijians. This is not because she is an unfeeling person but rather, I suspect, because she believes chiefs are born to rule, and that Fiji, first and foremost, must be for Fijians.
But Some traction, some gain, must come from the past three years. I say this with no disrespect for Ro Teimumu or the Fijian chiefly system. But in the modern, multi-ethnic, multi-religious state of Fiji, Fijian chiefs and national politics — and religion and politics — should be kept apart, and the concepts of vanua, lotu and matanitu [Fijian culture, Christian church and government], as they apply to the 21st century, need to be re-thought. The prostrate bodies of slaves should no longer be used as rollers to launch Ro Teimumu's or anyone else's waqa drua. Over the next few weeks ordinary Fijians should be particularly wary of such manipulation by chiefs, church and the SDL.
From the Blog: Waqa Drua = Large double-hulled canoes, some as long as 30 metres, capable of carrying up to 200 people, and faster than contemporary European ships. | 2019-04-23T06:50:07 | https://globalvoices.org/2009/07/27/fiji-tension-rises-between-government-and-methodist-church/ | [

TXAB: The Christ Almighty Blog: God must be our first resort. Never our last.
God must be our first resort. Never our last.
“When all else fails, try God” is not how Christianity works.
Let me reiterate: There’s nothing at all wrong with asking God for things. Jesus teaches us to do so in the Lord’s Prayer: It’s all prayer requests. (Even the parts Christians claim are “praise before the requests.” Asking that God’s name be blessed, his kingdom come, his will be done, are meant to be stuff we want.) When we need something, God expects us and invites us to turn to him for help.
In contrast, our culture encourages us to be independent. Do for ourselves, then ask for help. And you wanna avoid asking for help as long as possible. The world isn’t kind. They don’t help you without first asking, “What’s in it for me?” Strings get attached. They expect cash, or a quid pro quo… or at least a pizza.
Pagans in particular. When things are going fine, they tend to ignore God. When things are dire, suddenly they “get religion” and try to bargain with God. And to many pagans’ surprise—’cause we’d never offer ’em grace on those terms—God regularly takes ’em up on it, and brings ’em into his kingdom as a result. How many testimonies have you heard where people came to Jesus because of a crisis?
But even Christians have a bad habit of only calling upon God when it’s a crisis. God was a last resort when we were pagans; God’s still the last person we turn to when we’re totally stuck.
Heck, I’ve heard Christians teach this. In church. “When there’s no one else to turn to, you have God.” Isn’t that nice? He’s our safety net.
He doesn’t wanna be our safety net. He wants to be our support. He wants to carry us. Help us. Love us. Provide for us. Our first resort.
We don’t trust God to be our first resort.
Yeah, this is a faith thing.
Desperation isn’t faith. It’s actually the opposite of hope. Our other options have played out, we have no further options, we’ve given up… so we’re gonna try something ludicrous, on the tiny chance it might work.
Like the basketball player with two seconds left in the game, who wildly flings the ball at the basket on the slim chance she actually makes it. Or—to get away from all the sports similes—like the man who would ordinarily never buy lottery tickets, but he really needs money bad, and figures, “What have I got to lose?” Well, the $1 you spent on the lottery ticket… or the $100 you spent on 100 tickets.
On the rare occasions these desperate attempts actually succeed, they’re always met with shock and surprise. It’s this unbelieving surprise which exposes how little faith went into the last-resort behavior.
Same with last-resort prayers. We don’t really expect God to come through for us at all. Like the surprise last-second basket, if God ever does help us out at those times, our typical response is stunned amazement. We never thought he’d do it! In too many cases, people still don’t believe he did it. It had to be some bizarre coincidence or dumb luck. See, the request was never made in faith. Stands to reason it wouldn’t be received in faith.
And yeah, this is true of Christians too. We think we have faith, ’cause we believe in God and do religious things. But too often, we do religious things ’cause we’re used to doing religious things. Our “belief” is a learned behavior and an automatic response. It’s not actual belief. “I believe in one God…” is a creed we memorized, not the core of our being. If we did believe in the Almighty, we’d have turned to him immediately!
But we turn to him last because we don’t believe. It’s not a belief. It’s a theory, which we doubt too much to really put to the test. We’re comfortable with accepting it, but doing nothing more with it. Sometimes we embrace cessationism so we never have to test it. If we thought it was solid, we’d stand on it; but we imagine it’s a thin balloon, and don’t wanna poke at it and pop it and destroy our illusions. This barely counts as faith. Arguably it’s not.
Those who choose God as a last resort, often claim they do so have faith. Because at least they turned to God in their desperation. They didn’t give up and turn to no one. That’s something. Right?
Like I said, barely counts as faith. True faith is involving God in our decision-making process long before we have to get desperate. ’Cause we can’t see all the variables like God does. He sees the big picture. He knows the consequences of our actions—not just the logical conclusions, but the wholly unexpected accidents which no one could see coming. We could make the wisest decision possible, but God sees the slip-ups which’ll unravel everything. Or the happy accidents which create whole new opportunities. He can help us navigate these things. He wants to. But if we never consult him, and ignore everybody he forewarns, we’re on our own.
you’re vapor. You appear briefly, then you pass away.
16 Currently you all emphasize your phony plans, and all such emphasis is evil.
17 So when one knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to them it’s sin.
If we truly follow Jesus, we have no business making any serious life plans without first submitting our plans to God. If Jesus were your boss, you know you’d phone him to get permission before starting a project. How much more should we get his okay since he’s our Lord?
God’s solutions have only positive consequences. They may be counter-intuitive, but that’s because our intuition has its limits: We’re only guessing at the future, but God is in the future already. (He fills time, y’know. He looks at it from the inside.) He sees what’s gonna happen, and can help us around the pitfalls. True, from time to time this involves his miraculous power. Also true: He doesn’t always warn us he’s going to do something miraculous. But if we’re following and trusting him, the miracles and the pitfalls won’t shipwreck everything.
We just gotta do our part.
saying, “Your servant, my husband, died.
You know your servant respected the LORD.
3 Elisha told her, “Ask for containers from all your neighbors outside.
Empty containers. Not little ones.
4 Come inside; shut the door behind you and your children.
5 The woman left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her children.
They brought her containers, and she poured the oil.
They told her, “There are no more containers.” And the oil stopped.
7 She came to tell Elisha the God’s-man. He told her, “Go.
You might remember that story. You might not know the woman herself was a prophet; most translations only figure she was only the wife of a prophet. (’Cause sexism. The idea of a woman prophet simply eludes them, and futzes with their interpretation.) So she knew to turn to God in a moment of dire need. She knew to consult with Elisha, the head prophet, to seek God’s solution to her problem: Her creditor wanted money, and in that culture you could pay your debts through slavery. God’s solution: An oil pot that could miraculously fill much larger containers. A weird solution that would never have occurred to us. Wouldn’t even be tried by us—unless we had this woman’s level of faith.
The weirder God’s solutions sound, the more obviously he’s trying to stretch our faith. His answers won’t always appear to make sense. And he knows it. But we gotta trust him anyway. Our prayers are answered only to the limit we’re willing to trust him. Notice how the oil kept flowing till they ran out of containers. Had the woman borrowed any fewer containers, God would’ve turned off the oil sooner. But she borrowed enough to pay off the family debt, and then some.
As a prophet, this woman had the God-experiences to know Elisha’s instructions weren’t that crazy. She’d seen weirder. It’s way easier to have faith after we’ve seen God work often enough. If we’ve seen nothing, the first leap of faith seems impossible. Hurdle it, and it gets way easier.
So: When you pray, start submitting your plans of the future to God. What does he need to sign off on? What expectations do you have for your ideas—and might God be better able to fulfill them? Where might God need to give his input? Trust him with your future.
If we’re truly following Jesus, it’s the least we can do. | 2019-04-22T20:54:01 | https://www.christalmighty.net/2016/08/resort.html | [

So I received word in the mail today, after a brief verbal word a couple weeks back, that I'll be getting renewed. I'd heard from several other posties I work with, that they usually last for 6 months and then usually just keep carrying over. Unless permanent is offered obviously.
However, my contract is being renewed for just a total of 67 days. Not even a full 3 month.
Is this a warning sign that I won't be around much longer? And what exactly could the union do for me? We've got one rep and he's barely ever in the depot.
When I am on a part time contract my contract renew different months evertime some time 2 some time 3 and even sometime even 1 month.
My experience is that a group of us were given 8 x 3 monthly contracts then long term i.e. permanent after two years service.
The last group to be taken on were reduced to a monthly rolling contract in their second year before being given a permanent contract last Oct/Nov.
So there's still a chance of permanent then in the future?! | 2019-04-18T12:51:17 | https://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=90392&p=846666 | [

Historian Kent Shifferd reminds us that at present we might believe that the world is more violent than it ever has been. Yes, there is an overwhelming war system, one that might provide us with a darkening and narrowing vision of the future. It’s an old story but it’s no longer the only story. Another is in the making although most educators, the media, and even presidents don’t know about it. Large shifts are taking place in terms of global collaboration, constructive conflict resolution and social change.
We are happy to share our 2012 educational short documentary “The Evolution of a Global Peace System”. Based on historian Kent Shifferd’s “From War to Peace”, this movie describes 28 trends leading to the evolution of a Global Peace System.

Baby announcement etiquette - what do you think?
For me, not acceptable. We are simply not telling people until we are ready for the news to be public this time. MIL has proven herself unable to bite her tongue when it comes to sharing our special news.
My SIL did this to us when DD was born. I was raging then and it still upsets me when I think about it. I know she only did it because she was so excited for us but it's still totally unacceptable to me.
I hate the thought of it. My sister was really unwell after her bub was born (spent 2 nights in ICU) and I didn't mention anything on FB even though I was so proud and excited. I wasn't FB friends with my BIL at that time (he has general family issues, more with his but long story) and I ended up texting my sister a few days later to ask if there were anymore photos (they live interstate) and all mum dad and I had seen was one photo from immediately after the birth. BIL had made the announcement on FB when he was born and had been sharing all these photos with his friends, but none with us. I don't know what my sister had done, but she wasn't tagged in any of the announcements/photos so we were literally in the dark, so that sucked. I was happy I waited until I knew they had announced it, but also annoyed at the fact that more of the news/photos were shared amongst his friends only. I'd do the same again though. Not my baby, not my news.
This however is my biggest worry when we have babies. My MIL puts everything on Facebook, there is no filter. It's like there's no thought about whether appropriate or not. (Her breast cancer diagnosis was played out on Facebook. Basically the second she was off the phone with us telling us she had announced it on FB 😕) She will be someone I'm wary of and I shouldn't have to be.
My friend had her baby in July. Her best friend announced it. And people congratulated her before she got a word in. I asked her and she said she didn't mind. Evidently it depends on the parent.
But in my personal opinion. Not ok in any circumstances.
When I had DS1 my father put it on Facebook within minutes of me calling. That's how my BFF (babies godmother) found out. I was planning on calling her within an hour or so when we had decided bubs name. I was furious.
With ds2 my BFF received the first phone call and my father the last. People were told "we're holding off posting in Facebook until we confirm bubs name."
It happened to us and I was so upset. We had a beautifully worded announcement ready that was spoilt by a family member jumping the gun. This family member had my phone number so could have text a congrats. I deleted the msg as soon as I saw it but a few people had already responded.
We wanted to wait till the next day to Facebook announce so we could enjoy the special time to ourselves for a while.
I think it's so rude.
Yeah it wouldn't really bother me. I know some people actually disable their account from a week out from their due date so they aren't bombarded and can concentrate on the impending birth.
Slightly different but my MIL announced when we found out I was pregnant on Facebook. I was only 10 weeks, so I was really annoyed!
It was our news to share and she took that away from us. Half my immediate family didn't know so I was annoyed.
Etiquette in baby change rooms! | 2019-04-22T14:02:52 | https://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?528296-Baby-announcement-etiquette-what-do-you-think/page2 | [

Siddaramaiah, who held the post of Deputy Chief Minister in the Congress-JD(S) coalition government then, was subsequently ousted from the JD(S) and also as its legislature party leader. He later joined the Congress.
Former prime minister Deve Gowda on Saturday termed Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as "mean", and said grooming him was his "biggest mistake".
"He (Siddaramaiah) is a mean Chief Minister," Gowda said while complaining that he was not given an opportunity to speak during the inauguration of Mahamastakabhisheka of Lord Gommateshwara Bahubali at Shravanabelagola on February 7, which was attended by President Ram Nath Kovind.
Stating that his name was printed on the invitation as former Prime Minister and Chief Minister and as Lok Sabha member and speaker at the event for "namesake", he said "but I had no chance to speak. The Chief Minister who is mean to this extent, has grown from this party (JD(S))."
"Is he a Chief Minister? How long will you stay? I will see. I have taken a vow. I will today seek apology from the people of Karnataka for grooming such an immoral politician," he said.
"Grooming such a lowly Chief Minister is my biggest mistake. I will repeatedly say he is unfit to continue in the post," a visibly upset Gowda remarked at a party event.
Relations between Gowda and his one-time trusted aide Siddaramaiah came under strain in 2005 as the latter was unhappy over party affairs and dominance of the former Prime Minister's son H D Kumaraswamy, the then JD(S) state unit working president.
The issue of alleged "ill-treatment" meted out to Gowda during the Mahamastakabhisheka had also resonated in the Assembly last week, when his son and JD(S) MLA H D Revanna moved a privilege notice accusing that he too was "ill-treated" at the programme at the behest of the minister in charge of the district.
The privilege notice has been referred to the privileges committee by the Deputy Speaker. | 2019-04-21T22:42:31 | https://www.indiatvnews.com/politics/national-grooming-siddaramaiah-was-my-biggest-mistake-says-deve-gowda-427210 | [

Pronto Restaurant in central Nairobi, Kenya, serves halal foods.
Nairobi, Kenya (IINA) : In a country where 82 percent are Christians, halal, the dietary standard in Islamic law, is finding greater acceptance.
Halal, which means “lawful” or “permitted” in Arabic, requires that meat such as beef, lamb, goat, and poultry be raised and killed humanely and that a blessing be said at the time of slaughter. Nonhalal foods include carnivorous animals and birds of prey, as well as pork and products derived from pork such as gelatine. Fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains are permitted.
Earlier this month, Nairobi hosted the East Africa Islamic Economic Summit to allow business and government leaders opportunities to explore how to boost the halal market economy.
According to Kheir, most people find the food less risky since there are strict guidelines governing its slaughter, Crux News reported. “They are sure that the meat is not from forbidden animals such as dogs or donkeys or even pork, ” said the scholar, who teaches Shariah and Islamic studies.
Father Wilybard Lagho, a Roman Catholic priest in the Mombasa Archdiocese, said care needed to be taken such that they are used in an inclusive way. “At a time when there is Islamophobia, such symbols can be easily misinterpreted,” said Lagho.
Halal also applies to other sectors such as cosmetics and beauty. Globally, the sector is believed to be worth $2.3 trillion. Kenya has developed a certification and regulatory frame to meet the standards. Cosmetics shops are applying the principles, for example, refuse to sell human hair. | 2019-04-18T23:06:48 | https://halalfocus.net/halal-foods-finding-greater-acceptance-in-kenya-report/ | [

Michael Novak, writing for National Review, admits that he is taken aback by some of the harsh criticisms of Pope Francis coming from American conservatives. Novak—who for decades has been the leading Catholic defender of the free-enterprise system—offers his own gentle suggestions that the current Pontiff should recall the teachings of Blessed John Paul II, especially in Centesimus Annus. At the same time, Novak expresses delight with the overall thrust of Evangelii Gaudium, acknowledging that Americans can learn a great deal from our new Pontiff.
The Financial Times provides some useful background on the struggle toward transparency at the Vatican bank-- a timely piece, in light of today’s news that European banking examiners have given a positive report on the Vatican’s financial reforms.
And finally, immodestly, I point to my friend Robert Royal’s kind and insightful review of When Faith Goes Viral, a collection of reports on successful initiatives in evangelization, which I had the pleasure of editing. | 2019-04-26T03:47:06 | https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/the-city-gates.cfm?id=703 | [

Money Making Step-By-Step Video & Audio Lessons Walks You Through The Process Of Creating CASH, Cash Flow, and Building Financial Security!
The foundations of every market dictate that when some people lose, other people gain. The American economy today is a mix of winners and losers. There were those who failed to capitalize on the rising market and then witnessed most of the wealth they had accumulated disappear when the real estate market crashed, causing the stock market to crash and wiping out the life savings of millions.
On the other hand, those who sold ‘out at or near the top, and those who “shorted” the stock market are now poised to buy back in at mere fractions of the dollar, thereby building even greater fortunes than during the boom years.
Does that mean that all those who don’t have the cash to re-enter the market are going to wind up having to painstakingly rebuild their lost financial security over the coming years? Not necessarily!
I was born during the Great Depression and have seen a half dozen economic downturns over half a century of investing in single family houses. I lost money in most of them because I didn’t know how to exploit them. Once I’d learned the tricks of the trade, I made a fortune thirty years ago when Florida’s recession was at it’s height. The trick was learning ways to create cash and equity without the use of any of my money.
There are no hidden secrets to doing this. It hinges on your desire to succeed. If you truly want to rise to the top of the heap, you have to learn how to take advantage of the current distressed housing market.
Some of these techniques involve the use of Contingent Contracts and Options to control property until an end-user or investor can be found to buy a property at mere fractions of its original cost. Some involve being able to create debt instruments that can be used to buy and sell property.
Still others involve the design and creation of real estate Notes that can be readily sold for cash to institutional and private investors. Ultimately, you should be buying as many deeply discounted cash flow houses as possible before the market rebounds. You can do this without cash if you learn and use some of the techniques I and others can teach you.
Now, for the first time, I created a new seminar I call “MONEY MATTERS – Making Money Without Money” to help you learn these techniques. It will show you how to use them to recoup and surpass the financial security you may have lost.
The seminar SOLD OUT both times it was taught!
Learn the techniques and strategies you need to get through this recession with more wealth, cash flow, and money than before.
Take a took at the Money Matters Recorded Seminar outline below and see if you don’t agree that there are some new strategies you can learn in this online seminar to help you take advantage of today’s tremendous real estate opportunities.
In today’s economy, by using these techniques, you can rebuild your nest egg in far less time than it took to originally accumulate it; but you don’t want to delay. The current economic situation is changing daily. Once you let today’s opportunities pass you by, you may have to wait a generation for a chance to make as much money without money with your own talents and skill.
Even if you attended the fast-paced Money Matters LIVE seminar, this Recorded Seminar will help you learn the concepts Jack taught. You can pause and rewind the audio and videos as many times as you need to to acquire a full and complete understanding of these important concepts, techniques and strategies.
You don’t want to miss this cutting edge information about how to make money without money. Watch or Listen to Money Matters today so you can learn how to make money with the tremendous opportunities available for you right now.
Just like missed opportunity, when it’s gone it’s gone! | 2019-04-23T11:56:21 | https://www.cashflowdepot.com/education/products/recorded-seminars/money-matters-recorded-seminar/ | [

‘Taken’. I can watch most things with Liam Neeson in (and listen to as well- he did a great cover of the Van Morrison ‘Coney Island’ a few years back). This is a superior action movie and a revenge movie (revenge movies are a growing genre; maybe because we have no visible enemy to fight, only an undercover one. Maybe, as we have no god and therefore no Grace, and shopping doesn’t really fire the blood long term, we just love revenge bloodlust…just a hunch…).
Surveys of this studio audience (one who loves action, violence and mythical beasts in a film: preferably all 3 at once and one who dislikes all 3, instead prefering character development and emotional engagement) produced an almost 100% positive vote. One to watch after a frustrating PCC/church council.
Flight of the Conchords. Anything made by HBO and getting a screening on BBC3/BBC4 has got to be good. Comedy on TV can tend to the lame and bland or ultra shocking…but just. Not. Funny.
I am just watching the 2nd series (which is not supposed to be as good as the first) and I am laughing out loud lots and lots. I may get this DVD from my family as a present; seems like the kind of comedy that can be watched and watched and watched- and watched some more. So clever and so funny; I think the best comedy is recognizably this world yet at the same time inhabits its own universe.
Don’t despair- more deep stuff tomorrow. I just needed a break….occasionally my humanity breaks out. I will try to keep it in control in the future. Sorry. | 2019-04-24T10:10:18 | http://diggingalot.com/category/music/flight-of-the-conchords | [

Security continues to be a major issue within the crypto space.
Although Blockchains are designed for optimal security because of their decentralized nature, this has not prevented the users and institutions operating on these Blockchains from being exposed to hackers.
From Mt.Gox exchange ($473 million hacked), to Bitfinex ($72 million hacked), and most recently, Crypto Youtuber Ian Balina ($2 million hacked).
It’s clear that users and exchanges are still very exposed.
Fortunately, a new Blockchain company called Sentinel Protocol promises a solution to secure our exchanges and funds.
Sentinel Protocol is offering a cyber security ecosystem that leverages the collective intelligence of cyber security specialists, as well as advanced technologies like machine learning and sandboxing to help crypto traders and exchanges protect their crypto currencies.
It works by providing a threat reputation database, which contains security intelligence information like the addresses of confirmed dangerous wallets belonging to hackers, or malicious URL’s.
The database sits on the Blockchain and is connected to API’s.
Exchanges and other organizations can use these API’s in order to receive an alert or block an action whenever they encounter any of these malicious URLs or wallet addresses.
Sentinel protocol provides 3 main security features: The Sentinel Portal or Threat reputation database (TDRB), Machine-learning engine integrated security wallet (S-wallet), and a distributed malware analysis sandbox (D-Sandbox).
The threat reputation database is designed to offer a decentralized source of shared knowledge amongst security vendors. This database is provided as an API that individuals and organizations can connect to.
Traditionally, security vendors would compile information by themselves and store them in the centralized databases of their respective organizations.
This lead to security blind spots due to the lack of complete information, as well as the centralization of vital data creating a single point of failure (NSA’s hacking by Russian state hackers in October 2017 is an example of this flaw).
TRDB uses a token incentive scheme that encourages vendors to contribute to an ever-expanding threat database containing hacker’s wallet addresses, malicious URI’s, phishing addresses, malware hashes, and more.
Submissions are validated based on group consensus and feedback from participants using the Delegate proof of stake method.
Only security experts can update TRDB, however, general users can also participate by auto reporting or manual reporting.
Auto reporting allows Sentinel Protocols machine learning based security wallet to automatically detect unknown threats the user comes across while connected to the TDRB API.
When a threat is identified, it is sent to the database. Manual reporting requires the user to report the risk information themselves, which is then validated by the security community afterwords.
S- Wallets can be held by individuals or institutions to store their crypto currencies with enhanced security.
The S-Wallet uses machine learning to anticipate incoming security threats based on information gathered from the threat reputation database. The wallet operates like anti- virus software, except it doesn’t have to wait to receive updates from a centralized server. It can be more proactive in its detection based on analysis of threat tendencies and history gathered from the TRDB.
The S-Wallet is especially effective against Ransom ware threats, and provides filters for Crypto currency wallet addresses, URL/URI’s and other forms of Data.
The machine learning technology also enables Sentinel Protocols Fraud Detection System to identify transactions that are reported for misuse or stolen.
Sandbox is a security mechanism that isolates untested and unverified programs. These programs are isolated away from the main application and into a testing environment so that potential threats can be analyzed and submitted to collective intelligence via a ticket system.
These 3 features of Sentinel Protocol are overseen by the ‘Sentinels’, a group of security experts, individuals and organizations who serve to validate hacking claims, analyze the root cause of a threat, and update the TRDB.
Just like how black hat hackers are incentivized by money to perform malicious activities, Sentinel protocol aims to create an ecosystem where white hat hackers (or Sentinels) can earn money by contributing to the security intelligence of the ecosystem.
Sentinels earn ‘sentinel points’ for their contributions, and these points can later be converted to crypto tokens called UPP (Uppsala) Tokens.
Sentinel points are added up as a reputation score that evaluates how much a Sentinel has helped a hacking victim, or contributed to the TRDB.
Users can make indirect contributions and earn sentinel points by creating or translating articles to alert the community about cyber-security threats.
UPP tokens are the currency used to pay for security features within the Sentinel Protocol ecosystem.
The threat detection database as well as API integration come free, while users have to pay UPP tokens to use more advanced features like Machine Learning-based anomaly detection or Distributed-sandboxing.
Sentinel Protocol gathers one of the most experienced teams in the Blockchain space. Their combined expertize in cyber security spans decades, and involved working for major corporations as well as Governments.
Patrick came up with the idea for Sentinel Protocol when in 2016, 7,218 Ether (around $70,000 at the time) was stolen from his wallet as a result of a hack.
He took this very unfortunate incident and turned it into a business opportunity by starting Uppsala foundation, which Sentinel Protocol is under.
Patrick brings 10 years of experience with network security and system architecture at Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet.
Before this, he was Koreas chief technology consultant at Darktrace, and AI focused global security company. He consulted the government and large corporations including Korea Cyber Defense and Samsung.
Hae leads the business operations of Sentinel Protocol. He has over ten years of IT security experience, specializing in database architecture, web application firewall (two patents), fin-tech security, and machine learning.
Prior to Sentinel Protocol, Hae designed the DB architecture of the corporate banking system at KB Bank, and led global business operations in Korea at F5 Networks and Darktrace.
John has over 25 years of international experience in Asia’s high-tech industry. He specializes in next-generation software solutions to address the needs of organizations throughout the key markets across the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Japan.
Prior to Sentinel Protocol, John held senior roles with several leading technology companies including WatchGuard Technologies, Softbank, CyberGuard, and Darktrace.
Sentinel has a very utility focused Token structure. They have well-designed incentive structures to create the best ecosystem for cyber security.
The success of Sentinel protocol is very reliant on external assistance. I’m not sure if tokens will be enough to incentivize cyber security experts to collaborate with each other, especially if they compare what they will earn as part of the sentinel network versus working exclusively for one Blockchain (or non-Blockchain) company.
The money individuals or institutions pay to get access to exclusive security features is a big factor preventing the best security experts from collaborating with each other today. There’s also the issue of secrecy between nations, which may prevent many cyber security experts who work for Governments from contributing.
Sentinel protocols Token Pre Sale starts on May 23.
Their public sale starts on May 27th and ends on June 10th. The company is looking to raise $32,900,000, and have already raised $23,294,012.
Sentinel protocol is offering a service that solves a critical problem within the crypto community – security.
As more exchanges are launched and more crypto users emerge, security will only become a bigger issue.
By becoming one of the first Blockchains to focus entirely on security, Sentinel protocol is well positioned to be a relevant player in this space for a long time.
The company has wisely chosen not to go the route of conventional marketing, and is instead focused on bringing real world cyber-security experts to Sentinel Protocol, and establishing partnerships with exchanges, wallets and payment services.
They may face some initial challenges recruiting the best security experts to the network. These players are already in high demand and will be dealing with competing interests in the real world.
However, overtime we do believe Sentinel protocol will begin to achieve a network effect as institutional investors enter the space and demand higher levels of security to protect their funds. | 2019-04-21T14:39:59 | https://www.coinbureau.com/blockchain/sentinel-protocol/ | [

Today was ridiculous in the best way possible.
If not for the nagging twinge of pain in my right knee (nothing serious), I would be questioning whether or not I needed to wake up from a pretty nice dream.
After crushing yesterday’s long run (woo!), I was admittedly in rough shape. I wasn’t sore, but I was so tired and my legs felt like they weighed 2 million pounds. Sadly I didn’t get to spend the day resting and recovering, because I had to work.
I watched some dance classes (no dancing for me yesterday!), attended a seminar, took a break for dinner at Rue 57, then returned for the evening’s choreography competition.
By 9:30 pm I was shot and could barely keep my eyes open. I barely remember going to sleep last night.
And I slept until 9:30 this morning.
Much needed. I don’t remember the last time I slept that late and it felt so sinful and wonderful to stay in bed that long.
So around 11 am I hit the road — the Bridle Path, actually — with a certain friend of mine.
And we had a particularly awesome celebrity sighting: Coach Cane and his fantastic wife, out for a run of their own!
Coach Cane, Ali & Mrs. Coach Cane!
Allow me to remind you all that Mrs. Coach Cane is the fantastic runner lady who ran with me during the NYRR Mini 10K back in June.
Do you also remember that she’s pregnant? She’s due in November (their fingers are crossed for an 11-11-2011 baby since they were married on 10-10-2010 — Coach Cane is into numbers) and she was out running like a champion.
Coolest pregnant runner lady ever.
I think she’s my idol.
It was great running into them and chatting for a bit — as always, running with others makes the miles go by much faster. Coach Cane was happy to see that I was running without headphones, though he did call me out for running with my phone in my hand…even though he has repeatedly told me not to.
But I assured him that I only ran with my phone today because I wanted to make sure I had a way to take a picture just in case I ran into him.
My legs felt super heavy today as I slogged through 5 miles. It was hot and late in the day for me to be out there. But whatever. I got through it. And then my day got great.
I ate brunch at Taste, which was delicious.
I crave fruit every day lately.
I got an omelette with spinach, ham and cheddar cheese.
With a full belly, it was off for a long walk through Central Park. Great people watching, though walking those hills wasn’t much easier than running them. My legs were screaming at me.
I walked from the Upper East Side all the way through Central Park and over to Herald Square.
Doable the day after your longest run ever? Barely.
Luckily I had good company. Wink.
Next stop? Aura Wellness Spa.
He liked the idea. And he made appointments.
Spa Aura is pretty incredible. I didn’t take pictures, obviously — I wanted my phone as far away as possible today so I could really relax — but check out the website. The spa has these four grottos which are basically sauna igloos.
Two of the grottos are really hot, one is a steam room and there’s an ice grotto. My skin was ridiculously soft after sitting in them for about 10 minutes.
Then it was massage time.
A dark picture of the dark massage room. It had a private sauna, steam room and shower!
The massage was awesome. My massage therapist may have walked on my back. I was fine with it.
After the massage, I thought the fun was over.
And then a tray appeared in the room with a bottle of champagne, cantaloupe and crackers.
Well played, Aura. Well played. You brought my body back to life and got me a tiny bit drunk. You rule.
After a little steam action it was back to reality.
I’ve been craving mango salsa lately. My friend who is a man and is a good time managed to find a Mexican restaurant near the spa that served mango salsa.
So we went and got some.
And we chased it with 16 Handles.
Now I’ve got my air conditioning blasting and I’m ready for the week ahead.
TELL ME: What was the highlight of your weekend?
29 Responses to "Is This Real Life?"
Your day was so perfect! Don’t know how you can run and walk like this after a long run. Amazing about the champagne… And the mango salsa.
My highlight was my half marathon PR- one I never thought I’d see in my lifetime!
I am having a great time as I have been on vacation since Thursday and we have a long weekend so tomorrow is vacation again 🙂 A lot of running involved but it feels good when you are on vacation!!
How fun! I’m going to look into these sauna igloos. My highlight was finally having dinner with a bestest friend who needs a lot of support, but we’ve missed each other the past few weeks due to travel. It was so good to finally sit and chat and share.
Wow, I’m definitely jealous! Sounds like an amazing weekend…and I want to hear about this “nice man friend’….next AM sweat squad chat session??
And I want a sauna igloo.
Wow, what an amazing weekend!! Its so nice to have a special someone do such lovely things for you! Can’t wait to read more about him!
Love your blog by the way 🙂 and thanks for tweeting me back yesterday, I’m still getting the hang of that thing! Actually looking forward to a run this afternoon (its Monday and winter in New Zealand) so I think I’m starting to ‘get it’ with running…slowly but surely!
Sounds like a fabulous weekend! Your coach’s wife does NOT look pregnant at all. I want to be like that someday! Congrats on your long run and getting out for some recovery miles today. I want to try that massage place – awesome!
Ali–a real treat running with you even though you guys didn’t do the turnaround, and I had to sprint to catch up. Don’t worry, Baby doesn’t need oxygen. So, I guess Coach Cane wasn’t fast enough to get all three of us in the pic, huh? Or was that pic cropped? I know who your man friend is. I know Ali’s man friend and will divulge for the right price. Next time will you slow down for me? hahahahhahaah.
BTW, my running girdle gives me the sexiest silhouette.
What a fun weekend! Mrs Coach Cane is pregnant???She looks fabulous! I certainly did not look like that when I was 6 months pregnant!
Yay for a great weekend! I love nights when I get a ton of sleep. Seriously, best feeling ever!
Best part of weekend – chilling by the pool with two of my best friends (and former teammates). And sleeping in today! Hope to see you and the am sweat squad soon!
We had friends in from out of town, so we overate (I might be a liiiiiiittle sick to my stomach from all the overeating), checked out all the Chicago touristy things, and had a ridiculously good time. I can’t believe it’s already over!
a massage? mexican food? champagne? damn. you really did have an awesome sunday. love it!
the highlight of my weekend was brunch with the ladyfriends. so relaxing. so delightful. so yummy.
What a great day and weekend! Your friend who is a man sounds amazing! Does he have any friends available??
If your special friend is smart, he will sell the rights to his first blog photo Suri Cruise style!
Now that is an awesome day. Man who is a friend is amazing! Where can I get one of those (for real, actually, I would like to know that more than one exist)?
Sounds like an absolutely wonderful weekend! We drove to Cleveland to see one of my sorority sisters get married. She’s one of te very first people I met my first day at college, and it was amazing to see her in her dress. So beautiful!
oh man, a massage + cantaloupe + champagne sounds AWESOME. good work man that is your friend.
congrats on running 18-miles – you are going to CRUSH this marathon 😀 morning sweat squad meet-up soon??
Your handsome friend sounds pretty awesome. So does the whole massage, champagne, salsa, frozen yogurt combo. Is there a better way to celebrate a long run? I think not. Glad you had a great weekend!
My highlight was crushing my previous half marathon PR this weekend at the NYRR Queens Half Marathon!!!
Mmm mango salsa. I’ve made it at home a few times but it’s never as good as when you get it in a restaurant! | 2019-04-25T04:24:07 | http://www.aliontherunblog.com/2011/07/31/is-this-real-life/ | [

you feel your life is slipping out of your control coz your weight is going out of control.
your sweet tooth is driving you nuts and causing you weight gain every month.
even after you ate a rich and sinful lunch, you still crave for an ice blended cholocate mocca?
if you deny your body’s desire to snack, you are unable to concentrate on anything else- it will bug and bug you till you give in to it.
tried lots of diet (including starvation) and in the end, put on more weight than ever?
people always think that you are lazy or lack will power- but you really had tried very hard to diet but they just don’t work.
you feel more lethargic and tired than ever- it gets worst as time goes by.
the authors themselves had tried so many fad diets and methods and still put on weight. They had suffered years of prejustice from society till they discovered how their bodies reacted to sugar and starches. Dr Rachael herself lost 186 pounds and does not suffer from food craving or deprivation. She kept the weight off for more than 10yrs.
the author introduces reward meals- so if you really must have that candy bar, you may have it once- at night. For some people, the night candy bar may start off another eating binge.
by eating food that stabilises your blood sugar instead of driving it haywire, you will lose weight and what’s more, it is a eating lifestyle that you can follow for life.
Before I even read this book, I had the suspicion that my sweet tooth could be the culprit of my tireness and being overweight. In April 07, then I was lucky to have found the book “Win the Sugar War” by Holly McCord. The book feature 100 real life stories of people whose life were changed when they cut off sugar. I felt so cheated by my sweet tooth that I started this blog to document my journey. he scientist in me did some research and testing- observing for my ownself how taking refined sugar and starch affects my body (increased tiredness, irritability, mood swings), I realised that my body reacts negatively with high sugar intake.
That’s why by the time I am reading this book, I knew what is mentioned in the book is very true for carbo addicts. It is not just another fad but it is something that you can stick to for life. (update 2008: now take sugar as I was able to regularise my condition through exercise. But I still believe during the initial stage, it’s best to minimize refined carbs from your diet unless you are physically very active.).
So far, my weight only dropped only about 1.5kg (since May). The drop in weight was not significant but I am starting to be able to fit into clothings that previously were just too tight for me. The regular exercise and resistance training helped- muscle makes you weight heavier.
Now I seldom suffer from food craving. Also feel more energetic. I am no longer addicted to teh tarik or coffee from restaurants and mamak- the fatigue that I know I will feel after that is just not worth it. Pyschologically, I am also changing- I no longer want to be disorganised. I enjoy tidying and decluttering my home and office desk- bit by bit. I feel much more in control of my life now.
noodles, rice, white bread, pasta, pita bread- anything made from wheat.
Take more fruits and vegetable, best raw. No dressing, please.
Use fruits (oranges, grapes), dried apricots, other raw vege as snacks- learn to pack your own snacks. If you don’t know, most ready cut fruits that you buy from outside are dipped into saccharin/sugar water to make it taste sweet- so it will drive your cravings if you eat them.
Trust me, if you try it, YOUR LIFE WILL REALLY CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
Take the first step- rise to the challenge. | 2019-04-25T06:29:52 | https://healthblog.yinteing.com/2007/06/24/are-you-a-carbohydrate-addict/ | [

– alternative boarding schools and schools with therapy.
Should you need help finding affordable boarding schools, boarding schools for boys, boarding schools or schools for troubled teens, please let us know. As the parent of a troubled teen, you’re faced with even greater challenges. This is especially true if your teen is abusing drugs or alcohol. A troubled teen faces behavioral, emotional, or learning problems beyond the normal teenage issues. While any negative behavior repeated over and over can be a sign of underlying trouble, it’s important for parents to understand which behaviors are normal during adolescent development, and which can point to more serious problems. | 2019-04-21T10:42:08 | https://www.troubledteenhelpfinder.com/counselors/california/emily-stone | [

Sometimes an expert is in your own backyard.
Mark's father is not only a constitutional lawyer but he's written a book with an extensive legal analysis of past presidential impeachment proceedings and even the attempted impeachment proceedings to remove presidents.
But worried it was one of those shouting match shows on cable television, Mark's father, Arnie, initially rejected our show's invitation to join the show hosted by his own son!
After it was explained that we wanted a civilized conversation to address all the impeachment talk, Mark's dad agreed to give us a bit of history and handicap the reality of any actions rising to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors".
The show starts with a a brief introduction and then The Fast 15 with Michael Shure talking politics, Russia and then making way for impeachment talk.
Comedians Laura House and J. Elvis Weinstein join Mark Thompson for the conversation with his father, Arnie.
Then they share facts about their own parents including one being eerily near JFK's assassination and the other having tutored Bob Dylan. | 2019-04-21T02:25:39 | http://theedgeshow.libsyn.com/wanna-impeach-trump-one-expert-says-forget-itoh-and-that-expert-is-marks-dad-a-constitutional-lawyer | [

Half of HMRC's VAT late-filing fines are incorrect!
A recent article in the i newspaper stated that as many as half of the fines imposed on business for filing late VAT returns may be incorrect. A data request to HMRC by a firm of accountants revealed that in 2013 17,200 appeals were made by businesses against late filing penalties and that 49% of them were successful.
That means that 51% were incorrect and had their appeal upheld!
Businesses automatically receive fines related to their VAT bills when they file returns late although this may not be a financial penalty initially. However if you have an explanation for it being late then you should appeal it because if you are late again you will be more likley to receive a fine.
Another good reason to keep your accounts up to date! | 2019-04-19T04:37:04 | https://www.sandrasilk.co.uk/article/54/vat-late-filing-fine/ | [

A year and a half ago, a new client Johanne White walked through the doors of Body Harmonics. She was petite and a bit nervous, but seemed dedicated to using movement therapy to help heal her body.
Within a few months, we began seeing more and more of her. We had many conversations in passing and over time I had the chance to learn more about her incredible story and how Body Harmonics was helping her overcome physical and emotional pain. I asked if she’d be willing to do an interview and share her story with others. She agreed.
This is definitely a must-read for anyone in pain. Johanne’s commitment and dedication to healing is incredible. She’s gone out on many limbs and overcome many obstacles. Below is just a small piece of Johanne’s fascinating story. I encourage you to spend a few minutes to read this interview I had with her and pass this on to anyone else you feel may benefit from reading it.
Larisa: What brought you to Body Harmonics?
Johanne: Oh my, that’s a long story! Before I came to Body Harmonics, my body systems were shutting down and the doctors couldn’t figure out why. They thought I had Multiple Sclerosis, but it wasn’t it. My entire spine was rotated and had damaged my joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves. This compromised my central nervous system and sense of balance when doing even simple day-to-day activities.
I underwent several surgeries to repair damaged joints and the surgeries caused more damage and rotation to my body. I began to see a neuromuscular dentist, Dr Susan Huxtable. She was great! Dr. Huxtable did an assessment with me and determined a course of treatment that would “unrotate” the spine and provide stability to C1 (top of my cervical spine) which should improve alignment in the body. For many, this may sound a bit unfamiliar and strange as a treatment option, but it really made sense to me so I followed my gut and trusted the process.
I also worked with Dr Tania Siquiera a NUCCA Chiropractor to help shift my spine while Dr Huxtable used dental orthotics to support my skeletal system and move me towards alignment.
The first year I wore an orthotic on my lower jaw and it was modified weekly. Once I was more mobile I was ready to take the next step and find a safe movement and strength-building program. I knew without this my body would not heal as quickly or effectively.
I chose Body Harmonics for my movement and strength training part of my rehabilitation because of the specialization in Neurological programming. I’m so happy I made the right choice.
Larisa: Tell me about the journey you’ve taken at the studio. What programs and services have you used? What’s your experience been? How has it worked with your other treatments and therapies?
Johanne: At first I started with Physiotherapy once per week. After the first month, I was able to add a couple Pilates privates to my weekly routine. A month later, I was done with Physiotherapy and was able to do four Pilates privates per week. It was a lot, but I was motivated to get strong. And I was making progress.
Another month later, I began attending Core Essentials. It’s a spine-safe class that moves slowly and really helps you feel your core. Another month after that, magic happened and I tried a Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) session at the Body Harmonics clinic and was completely blown away. Naturally, I added that to my weekly routine as well.
My next step was to have Dr Huxtable operate on my tongue. It was tied and holding my body in a rotational pattern. This was another way to release and continue shifting my body into better alignment. I continue to undergo weekly adjustments with Dr Huxtable and a cranial sacral practitioner, Jennifer Bond the (both these practitioners are external to Body Harmonics).
Just recently I was able to add a few more group Pilates classes to my weekly routine. It feels so fantastic to keep moving forward on this strength-building journey.
One last piece to my puzzle, is Pilates teacher training. I’ve done a lot of work on myself and about a year into my journey at Body Harmonics, I took some educational workshops offered to Pilates teachers. From these workshops I learned so much I decided to take it a step further. A couple months ago, I enrolled in the Pilates teacher training and certification program. Perhaps one day soon I’ll be able to teach and give back to people.
Larisa: You’ve been on a healing journey for a long time now. What would you say is the biggest difference you’ve experienced at Body Harmonics from other clinics you’ve been to?
Johanne: They keep saying it, but Body Harmonics really does have an integrated approach to wellbeing. I’ve worked with many different practitioners and instructors at the studio and it was the first time that everybody I was working with communicated about what was going on in my body. All the Body Harmonics staff, Dr. Huxtable and Jennifer Bond were all on the same page about my progress, collaborated with each other and knew what steps to take next.
Also, both Dr Huxtable and Jennifer Bond have come for Pilates and MAT sessions. They’ve become raving fans and refer clients to Body Harmonics. This means the world to me.
I’ve fallen apart in the past when my past practitioners didn’t communicate and nobody was there to catch me. I’m so blessed my body healing team is now able to communicate openly for my wellbeing. Coming to Body Harmonics, everyone helped me feel safe, supported and strong. My blood is flowing freely and my feet are looking normal for the first time in years. These may seem like silly things to some, but are a HUGE deal to me!
Larisa: That’s great. Some of the smallest seeming things can make the biggest differences to out bodies and wellbeing.
Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) is not a practice that many people are familiar with. Tell me a bit about it and what it’s done for your healing process.
Johanne: Oh my goodness! It’s pretty amazing stuff.
First of all, my MAT practitioner SueAnne is the absolute best. My body is hypermobile and constantly changing. When I start an MAT session, my pelvis is usually rotated and I have pressure in my spine. Also, when my dental orthotics are adjusted that really affects me. I’m really sensitive to any twists, kinks and imbalances in my body. When this happens I experience a lot of pain.
SueAnne starts our sessions by taking a look at me and doing some muscles tests. This let’s her know what muscles are strong and which are weak. She uses touch, pressure and careful isometric exercises to help ‘turn on’ my muscles. As she works on me, the muscles in my body get rebalanced, my nervous system settles and I feel lighthearted.
One crazy story is that I had severe stenosis in my cervical spine (neck) and my doctor wanted to fuse it. SueAnne did some work on the muscles at the top of my cervical spine at C1/C2 and they released. After that, my spine healed on it’s own and no surgery was required. Imagine that?
Some days we work on my pelvis, other days on my spine, neck or feet. Even when she works the muscles in my finger it can affect how my neck and shoulders feel. It’s mind-blowing. SueAnne & MAT really supports the massive changes my body goes through every day. This sets me up for success.
By the end of my MAT sessions, my muscles fatigue like I’ve been working out. Although my muscles are tired and worked, they’re not stressed. It feels like my body gains strength and my body knows how to hold itself together.
Straightening out and rebalancing my body has improved my posture and digestive system. I’ve also got feelings in my body where I haven’t in 30 years. Without M.A.T, my rehab would be a lot slower and I’d be in a lot more pain.
Larisa: I’m so happy you’ve had such great success with MAT. It’s sounds like something everybody should learn more about!
Let’s go back to Pilates. What’s that journey been like?
Johanne: We all hear that the body needs to stay strong to function, but I really saw firsthand how much my body loves to move and how much my muscles love to be stimulated. Sometimes things take time to click for me, but I know if I can feel or sense something once, even a little something, it can heal.
My Pilates sessions not only make me strong in my body, but present little challenges for my brain. I like to learn and think and am excited to be able to have this extra stimulation. I’m like a kid in a candy store.
I walk out of the studio with my head up and a spring in my step. My balance is better and I’m not nearly as afraid of falling. It’s terrific and I feel so much more confident.
Something that was a bit surprising is how in-tune everyone is about the body and how it works. And they’re excited to share with me. I’ve learned a lot about anatomy, biomechanics and fun facts. For example, two great ways to help stimulate my pelvic floor are by putting my tongue on the roof of my mouth or working the arches of my feet. It’s a great example of how Pilates works my body from head to toe!
Larisa: You’re now doing several classes a week in addition to your other therapies and Pilates private sessions. Tell me about that.
Johanne: Going to class was a bit scary at first, but is now exciting. I’m actually doing 4 intermediate level group classes on the mat and Pilates machines. Doing a lot of privates has taught me a lot about what my body should be doing and feeling.
Larisa: What else would you like to share with our readers?
Johanne: I feel incredibly blessed to have such an amazing team supporting me: SueAnne, Andrea, Jocelyne, Danielle, Elizabeth, the front desk and everyone else I get to work with are top notch. It’s only been a year and a half and I’ve come so far in the gains I’ve made.
Some of the words to describe what I have experienced from everyone I’ve worked with are gracious, supportive, positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, above and beyond, accommodating, passionate, learning, sharing, uplifting, fun, laughter, joy, bliss and tons of love! I could go on, but I think you get the point.
I’ve also found an amazing community of people at Body Harmonics. I spend a lot of time there and have made many friends with clients and instructors. We speak about classes, go for coffee and even teacher training workshops together. It’s so amazing to spend time with like-minded people who are health conscious and interested in learning and bettering themselves in each in their own way. I’m happy to celebrate this special place.
I hope everyone has a chance to experience Body Harmonics. Come for a class, try a private session or check them out online to connect with the gifts they offer the world. They really do care and I hope you get a chance to experience the power of Body Harmonics for yourself.
I’m so happy you interviewed Johanne. I had asked her many moons ago if she’d be willing to share her story and she had said yes. I’m very glad it happened. The progress I’ve seen Johanne make has been truly remarkable. She is a beautiful strong woman inside and out and I hope this story can help others find hope.
What an inspiring story. So glad that Johanne found BODY HARMONICS. Her persistence and discipline are also key ingredients to her transformation. Congratulations both!
Johanne, it is amazing to see how far you have come! You always bring such a positive attitude with you to the studio. You show that anyone can achieve their goals once they put their mind to it, I look forward to seeing you teaching soon!! | 2019-04-21T04:38:15 | https://www.bodyharmonics.com/how-body-harmonics-has-changed-my-life/ | [

Barranco del Carrizal II, Órgiva, Granada. 11.8.1936 Manuel López López, deputy mayor of Lanjarón, and his sons Antonio, Félix were shot by the Guardia Cívil and Falangists and disappeared in this ravine. On 27.8.1936 a third son, Miguel, was murdered a bit futher down the valley.Víznar II (Barranco de Víznar), Granada. 2.11.1936, the pharmacist and feminist Milagro Almenara Pérez was shot together with Rosario Fregenal Píñar, Rosa Segura Calero and Concha Pertíñez Tabasco.
In this place there were open wells and a shooting range during the years of repression. There may be 400 victims in these wells, among them the poet Federico García Lorca, the school teacher Dióscoro Galindo and the anarchists Francisco Galadí and Joaquín Arcollas. It is a wasteland with the land removed since 1998 when the socialist mayor of Alfacar wanted to make a soccer field in this place where the remains of Lorca were supposed to lie. | 2019-04-18T16:23:48 | http://miquelgonzalez.com/04_Memoria-Perdida-160817CF093760/ | [

Four Seasons Health Care has confirmed the closure of its Banks O’Dee care home in Aberdeen.
The plans were first announced in February after the home was threatened with closure by the Care Inspectorate.
Chief operating officer, Amanda Cunningham, said Four Seasons had been unable to find an alternative provider for the service, despite its efforts working in partnership with the Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership.
The chief operating officer said the decision had been reached “reluctantly” due to operational challenges at the home that had been exacerbated by difficulties in recruitment and retaining staff with the right skills in a tight jobs market, which had necessitated the high use of temporary agency staff.
“We take very seriously our responsibilities as a care provider and we think ceasing to operate the home is the right thing to do rather than see it continue to struggle,” she added.
The Care Inspectorate issued a damning report on the service earlier this month detailing how residents had waited for long periods for their care due to understaffing (see Damning report issued on Aberdeen care home set to close). | 2019-04-21T21:03:02 | https://www.1stophealthcare.co.uk/four-seasons-confirms-aberdeen-care-home-closure/ | [

Focusing only on shareholders’ financial return is not consistent with the concept of sustainable corporate governance. In contrast to financial performance, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a non-financial performance index. Financial reports consist of both financial and non-financial disclosures. These disclosures help investors make decisions. This paper characterizes the interaction between the sentiment analysis of financial reports and CSR scores. The classification accuracy through SVM exceeds 86%. The empirical study shows that the financial report sentiment based on the PESTEL model, Porter’s Five Forces model, and Value Chain (Primary and Support Activities) significantly correlates to the CSR score.
Lawlor (2001) warned that even if an organization is “as pure as the driven snow in its own operations, it should expect public scrutiny of the practices of suppliers and associates”. Bad news about companies such as Nike, GAP, Reebok, and Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) attracted negative media attention in the late 1990s. In 2012, Apple became a high-profile target for non-government organizations concerned about working conditions in multinational supply chains. These concerns were related to the China-based Foxconn organization, where the vast majority of its 1.2 million employees were involved in assembling Apple products (according to Reuter’s reports). At the request of 250,000 petitioners, Apple was persuaded to ask the Fair Labor Association to investigate the working conditions at the Foxconn factory in China. Walmart was heavily criticized for its workplace practices in the US. In 2012, the National Employment Law Project (NELP) published the “Chain of Greed” report (Cho et al., 2012) about Walmart’s worker exploitation in the US. Some responsibility for the conditions of the poorly paid garment makers in Bangladesh has also been placed on the western retailers who sold the garments made by these oppressed workers after the collapse of the Rana Plaza building caused international outrage.
Since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), and amid a lingering recession that has intensified pressure from shareholders, companies are devising new corporate social responsibility (CSR) models that are more aligned with their core business goals and services. For example, blue-chip companies, such as Visa and Unilever, are creating new markets in the developing world by closely aligning social causes with their overarching corporate strategies. CSR has a strong role to play in the provision of information for risk management purposes. The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) was formed in 2000. Based in New York and London, the CDP focuses on the implications of climate change for shareholder value and commercial operations. CDP believes that carbon emissions and climate change represent significant business risks and, therefore, an organization’s policies and performance in relation to climate change should be factored into investment decisions. The decision to report information (whether it be CSR or financial information) is the concept of “accountability”. It is defined as the duty to provide a report, or an account, of the actions and decisions made about those areas of activity for which an organization is deemed to be responsible. The Commission of European Communities (CEC) states that CSR is “a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis. Being socially responsible means not only fulfilling legal expectations, but also going beyond compliance and investing more into human capital, the environment, and the relations with stakeholders” (CEC 2001) , p. 6. The above definition is also consistent with the definition of CSR provided by the World Business Council on Sustainable Development: “The commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, their families, the local community, and society at large to improve their quality of life” (Holme & Watts, 2000), p. 10.
The 3 main pillars of sustainability include environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Social and environmental performance can affect an organization’s future reputation, brands, and its ability to attract talented staff and maintain consumer and public support (CPA Australia, 2015a). Based on the Stakeholder Theory, corporate governance includes both financial performance and CSR. CSR refers to a wide range of activities that an organization undertakes, from charity donations to the management of carbon emissions. Based on the Signaling Theory, a financial report (FR) is the fundamental tool investors use to make decisions. It contains financial ratios as well as textual notes. Through this textual information, investors can learn about the firm’s social responsibility. Sentiment analysis is a relatively mature technique. However, China’s capital market is growing and Chinese is a complex language. We developed a sustainable strategy for corporate governance based on the sentiment analysis of Chinese financial reports with CSR. We solved 3 main problems: (1) Identifying the subjective object description in financial reports, (2) building an object library based on strategic models, and (3) characterizing the interaction between the CSR score and financial report sentiment categories.
Sustainability is widely recognized as one of the most important challenges facing the world today (Wan, Arief, & Rajagopalan, 2014). For most of the world’s largest companies, reporting on non-financial information appears to be a continuing trend. The communication of the social and environmental dimensions of a company plays a key role in the sustainable development of an organization, and therefore should be investigated in depth (Enrique & Michaela, 2015).
Multinational corporations play a prominent role in shaping the environmental trajectory of the planet. The integration of environmental costs and benefits into corporate decision-making has an enormous, but as yet unfulfilled, potential to promote sustainable development. Now is the time to take advantage of an explosion of sustainability commitments from business leaders and expanding pressure for sustainable practices from shareholders, financial institutions, and consumers (Kareiva, McNally, & McCormick Steve et al., 2015). CSR initiatives are crucial for achieving part of an inclusive growth vision. Organizations that are proactive rather than reactive may help achieve a sustainable inclusive growth via various CSR initiatives (Radhakrishnan, Chitrao & Nagendra, 2014). Research on CSR disclosure points to an increasing lack of completeness and decreasing amount of credibility in the information reported, as well as concerns about overall reporting practices. The evidence supports increasing skepticism about the use of CSR reporting practices as tools used to enhance perceived accountability (Giovanna, Silvia, & Federica, 2015). Standalone CSR reporting by retail companies appears to positively influence perceptions of a company’s reputation and may lead to increased appeal for socially responsible investors (Dennis & Na, 2014). Disclose CSR could increase transparency and non-financial accountability in capital markets. The empirical study reveals that family ownership reduces the level of CSR disclosure (Safaee M & M S Gerayli, 2017). Combining stakeholder theory with CSR research is a historic accomplishment (Zhang, Liang, & Yin, 2012). Chinese empirical data showed that CSR behavior is one of the key factors influencing consumers’ purchasing decisions (Ma, 2011). Data from listed Chinese companies in Shanghai demonstrated that the previous years’ CSR positively affects the current year’s corporate financial performance (CFP), and the current year’s CFP positively affects the CSR (Zhang, Jin, & Li, 2013). An empirical analysis showed that, assuming CSR is exogenous, the current CSR plays a significant positive role in promoting the current CFP, and vice versa (Yin, Liu, & Chen, 2014).
There is a vast amount of financial information on companies’ financial performance available to investors in electronic form (Salahuddin & Gow, 2016; Loughran & McDonald, 2011; Robert, Schumaker, & Hsinchun, 2009; Kloptchenko et al., 2004). While the automatic analysis of financial figures is common, it has been difficult to automatically extract information from the textual part of financial reports. The textual part contains more information than numerical part in an annual report (Chen et al., 2012; Hobson, Mayew, & Venkatachalam, 2012; Chan & Franklin, 2011; Feng, 2010; Feng, 2006; Kloptchenko et al., 2004). In recent decades, and with the advent of the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), financial reports have experienced a great change in terms of the unified reporting process. Nevertheless, the unstructured part of financial reports, the footnotes, remains a barrier to accurate automatic and real-time financial analysis (Heidari & Felden, 2015). Currently, the application of data mining to auditing is at an early stage of development and researchers typically take a scatter-shot approach to it, investigating patterns in financial statement disclosures, text in annual reports and MD&As, and journal entries without the appropriate guidance, such as the lessons drawn from investigations on known fraud patterns (Gray & Debreceny, 2014). The sentiment (tone, opinion) has been assessed using several categorization schemes in order to explore the various aspects of language used in the annual reports of US companies. The results indicated that the sentiment information is an important forecasting determinant of financial performance and, thus, can be used to support the decision-making process of corporate stakeholders (Hajek, Olej, & Myskova, 2014). (Wang et al. 2016) investigated the correlation between mutual funds’ scale and return in China by text mining a large volume of online financial reports. They further employed K-means clustering for fund categorization, which enables the reliable examination of correlations between the fund’s scale and return. The findings highlighted the uniqueness of emerging markets while providing interesting guidelines for exploiting big data analytics for financial studies.
Corporate social responsibility is crucial for sustainable corporate governance. Researchers have realized the potential value of the textual analysis of financial reports for detecting fraud, managing risk, and forecasting future performance. However, few researchers have performed empirical studies on the sentiment analysis of financial reports based on strategic factors and CSR. This paper will illustrate how to perform an effective sentiment analysis of financial reports.
The research framework is shown in Fig. 1 and includes 4 steps: (1) data collection and preprocessing, (2) subjective sentence identification, emotional trend classification, and object description extraction, (3) the object library of the financial reports, and (4) empirical analysis.
To develop the sample for the transferrable object library, we used firm-year observations from different industries, including real estate, automobile, medicine, electric, communications, and energy. The final sample contained 50 financial reports from 2008 to 2013. The data came from www.cninfo.com.cn, which is the designated disclosure website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. To distinguish our work from existing quantitative (financial ratios) research and mine the potential information contained in the textual content of the financial reports, we did not extract common words like “we” or “company” or industry-specific words and pure financial terminology such as “automobile”, “real estate”, or “asset-liability ratio”. The classification precision based on the sentence corpus was higher than that of the paragraph or document (Zheng, 2014); we extracted 32,767 sentences from the textual part of the financial reports based on the full-stop punctuation.
Using the approach found in (Bao and Datta’s 2014) work, we recruited 10 graduate students to label the sample sentences. Each student labels around 4000 sentences, among which 800 sentences are repetitive. Before labeling, they are briefed on the definition and trained on a number of real labeled examples. We keep communication and discussion during the whole process. The consistency of repetitive sentences reaches 80%. We only retain the subjective sentences whose labels are agreed upon by other annotators. The final sample set contained 2001 subjective sentences with a general emotional tendency and 4181 groups of related object descriptions. The expression of the subjective emotion was very complicated, and each sentence may not only have described the situation and emotional expression of a single aspect of the company. Although the variety of sentences means that some sentences will tend to approve some aspects of the company while others tend to criticize aspects of the company, a sentence’s general emotional tendency can be identified. The emotion tendency of the internal parts of 1 sentence can be different from the whole emotional tendency of the sentence. Therefore, we labeled the whole emotional tendency, related object description of each sentence, and emotional tendency of each object description (shown in Table 1).
Let us use the first sentence to illustrate this process of identification. Even though there is only one sentence (divided by full stop punctuation), the subjective expression involves 4 groups of the object description, which should be listed separately. Among them, 2 groups of emotional expression are negative descriptions about the company’s external environment, but the whole emotional tendency of this sentence is positive. Therefore, the general emotion of this sentence should be labeled as positive, while its constituent parts are labeled as having different emotional tendencies. We obtained a set of 1724 positive sentences and 277 negative sentences. Among the object description groups, there were 3482 expressing positive emotions and 699 expressing negative emotions. For both the sentence level and object description level, around 85% of this sample expressed positive emotions and only 15% expressed negative emotions. After removing the repeated items, there were 2637 objects and 1728 descriptions. The difference in these results may be explained by the fact that the describing objects in financial reports can differ in thousands of ways, while the emotional tendency is mainly expressed as either “good” or “bad”.
Text consists of characters and punctuation, constituting words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, sections, chapters, and documents. Before the computer could automatically deal with textual content, we needed to find an idealized method of formal representation that reflected the potential content of the text and then help it to identify different texts. The Support Vector Machine (SVM), a supervised learning method, is a prominent method for text classification (Pang et al., 2002; Mullen & Collier, 2004; Whitelaw et al., 2005; Ni et al., 2007). The basic idea of the SVM is to use a training set to find the hyperplane in vector space and then separate the data points into as many different categories as possible. Through a trained SVM model, the emotional tendency of the testing data could be automatically predicted.
We labeled the subjective sentences of financial reports from different industries. After removing the data with missing values, we obtained a matrix of 1966*1728 (sentence*description). Based on the proportion of 3:1, we divided the data into a training set and a testing set.
Table 2 shows the SVM classification result. The precision ratio was 97.36% and recall ratio was 88.04% when identifying a positive emotional tendency. The precision ratio was 35.29% and recall ratio was 73.17% when identifying a negative emotional tendency. The total precision ratio reached 86.83% and the F-measure value was 51.81%. The positive precision was much higher than that for the negative identification, which can be explained by the aforementioned statistical results. When preparing financial reports, managers usually have a positive attitude or mood (instead of a negative or adverse emotional tendency) towards the company’s financial position, operation results, and cash flow. Thus, most sentences in the sample set expressed positive emotion and few were negative. This tendency was also reflected in the calculation of “the precision ratio of identifying the negative emotional tendency”. The denominator contained a large number of misjudged samples that the machine recognized as − 1 while the human label was + 1, which led to the lower precision ratio for negative expressions.
SWOT strategic analysis is a common method for evaluating corporate performance, which contains an analysis of the internal environment and external environment. In the above section, we divided the financial reports into sentences based on full stop punctuation, then identified the emotional tendency of the sentences, and finally extracted the related object description. These objects were words or phrases that we wanted to classify. Our process was as follows.
First, we labeled these objects as internal or external.
If the text described the company’s external information, it belonged to the external strategic analysis. The strategic analysis of the external environment is usually subdivided into the macro environment analysis and industry environment analysis. The former analyzes the whole environment, which can influence all kinds of industries, so we used the PESTEL model for these data. The latter aims at the strategic factors in a specific industry outside of a company that affect the company being analyzed as well as all the other companies engaged in similar economic and operational activities in the same industry; for these data, we adopted Porter’s Five Forces model.
If the sentence described the company’s internal situation, it belonged to the internal strategic analysis. Companies cannot control external environment factors. The strategic analysis of the internal environment relates to controllable factors, which can be improved by management and other control measures. The Value Chain includes the Primary and Support Activities and is used for corporate internal analysis.
There were 11 (6 + 5) external object categories, shown in Table 3. After removing the repeated items, the statistical results indicated that, among the factors in the corporate external environment, companies were concerned about the economic factor, industry rivalry, and power of the buyer the most, which are issues related to company earnings.
Table 4 shows that the internal objects are more related to a firm’s infrastructure, marketing and sales, and operations and technology development than human resource management and services. The factors of least importance are inbound logistics, outbound logistics, and procurement.
There were 345 sentences describing the external environment and 859 related groups of the object descriptions. There were 1656 sentences describing the internal environment and 3322 related groups of object descriptions, which were 4.8 times and 3.9 times as great, respectively, as the results from the external analysis. Among the related descriptions of the external environment, 41.68% described positive emotions and 58.32% described negative emotions. In contrast, 94.04% described positive emotions regarding the internal environment and 5.96% described negative emotions regarding the internal environment. These results demonstrated that the main sentiment expressed in these financial reports was about internal information disclosure, mainly good news about corporate performance. Compared with the internal disclosure, the description of the external environment revealed much more emotion that is negative.
The CSR score data was taken from www.hexun.com. Control variables included the ROE, BM ratio, and company size, which were obtained from the China Stock Market & Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. The empirical data set consisted of 16 companies (000002 Vanke, 600050 China Unicom, 600028 SINOPEC, 601857 CNPC, 600104 SAIC Motor, 000800 FAW CAR, 000927 TJ FAW, 000572 HaiMa Motor, 601607 Shanghai Pharma, 000538 Yunnan Baiyao, 000423 DEEJ, 600085 TongRenTang, 000651 GREE, 600690 Haier, 600839 Sichuan Changhong, and 000016 KONKA A) in various industries over a period of 2 years, 2012 and 2013. Based on the object library we built and emotional tendencies classified in the above sections, we calculated the financial reports’ sentiment value of each category using Models 1–6.
Table 5 presents the descriptive statistics for our sample. The units of the CSR and Size are obviously different from the other variables, so we used the log value of these 2 variables for the regression.
Table 6 shows the experiment results, among which Model 5 demonstrates a statistical significance between the CSR score and financial report sentiment based on the categories of the PESTEL, and Porter’s Five Forces, Primary Activities and Support Activities. It outperformed the other models. The signs of the 4 variables’ coefficients were consistent with the aforementioned statistical results. When preparing a financial report, managers express positive emotions in accordance with Porter’s Five Forces and Support Activities, which show the company’s opportunities and strengths. Managers may also complain about the threat from the macro environment and weakness of the Primary Activities.
Based on Model 5, we calculated the predicted values for the CSR scores. The comparison between predicted values and true values of the CSR scores is plotted as Fig. 2, which shows a consistent trend.
Milton Friedman, the noted economist, argued that the primary responsibility of managers is to maximize shareholder wealth. However, any director or senior manager who believes that acting for the exclusive benefit of its shareholders will lead to long-term success and satisfactory corporate governance is mistaken. It is often forgotten that Friedman also mentioned that this pursuit of shareholder wealth should be “within the rules”.
In the real world, ignoring stakeholders’ interests will result in poor performance and could even result in corporate bankruptcy. Based on the Stakeholder Theory, an organization’s success depends on the successful management of all the relationships that the organization has with its stakeholders. These stakeholders include not just shareholders (for corporate entities), but also other parties who could be affected by the operations of an entity, such as its employees, competitors, customers, suppliers, lenders, government, community, and environment. Paying attention to a broad range of stakeholders is important from a moral or ethical perspective and the survival of a firm depends on the management of a range of relationships.
This research contributes to stakeholders’ comprehensive decision-making ability in regards to corporate accountability. The attitude of a manager towards CSR interacts with the emotional tendency expressed in the financial report. Stakeholders can learn more about a company’s sustainable accountability through the sentiment analysis of its financial report. Companies can also do better by paying attention to CSR and by pursuing sustainable corporate governance.
We developed an object library for financial reports that consisted of 20 categories based on strategic analysis. Regression models of the CSR score and financial report sentiment of different categories demonstrate that when financial report sentiment is classified into 4 categories based on the PESTEL model, Porter’s Five Forces model, the Primary Activities and Support Activities, it adds statistically significant explanatory power to the CSR score. The result is transferrable to different industries. In the future, we can apply the method for creating an object library of financial reports to other financial disclosures.

Celebrate sustainable food this October and enjoy certified seafood, produce, coffee, chocolate, and more.
These four labels provide independent assurance the companies have followed rigorous standards in sourcing their products.
Washington, DC, Oct. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grocery shopping is about more than just putting food on the table. It’s a daily opportunity to create the kind of world we want to live in. This October, Fairtrade America, the Marine Stewardship Council, Non-GMO Project, and the Equitable Food Initiative invite shoppers to celebrate sustainably-produced foods.
More than 60 percent of Americans believe businesses can be key drivers for social and environmental change, according to a study from Cone Communications. Bringing sustainably-produced goods to market is a big part of that. Americans are concerned about the planet’s future and see companies as part of the solution.
Sixty-six percent of shoppers are willing to pay more for sustainably-produced goods; that number jumps to 71 percent among millennials, according to Nielsen.
Nearly half of Americans avoid buying products with genetically-modified ingredients, according to a recent study from the Hartman Group.
“Equality and fairness, good labor conditions, and clean, simple ingredients are high priorities. People want to make the right choice, not just for themselves and their families, but for farmers, workers and the planet,” said Bryan Lew, Chief Operating Officer at Fairtrade America.
Certification labels provide shoppers with a reliable shopping shortcut so they can spend less time navigating grocery store shelves and more time enjoying sustainably-produced food that’s better for all.
Third-party certification or verification assures that an independent organization has audited and checked that a company is following set rules – whether it’s fair trade, responsible fishing, GMO avoidance or better treatment of workers.
Everyone has a right to know what is in their food and where it comes from. Celebrate sustainably-produced food all October and throughout the year.
Non-GMO Project Verified – The Non-GMO Project Standard is North America’s most rigorous and most reliable standard for GMO avoidance, set apart by its transparency, trustworthiness, and third-party status. The only way to truly avoid consuming GMOs is to Look for the Butterfly. Where found: Dairy and meat products, fruit and vegetables, snack foods, vitamins and supplements, oils, and more.
To learn more about these certifications and continue the conversation visit, www.fairtr.de/TruthBehindLabels. | 2019-04-20T08:36:55 | https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/10/09/1618711/0/en/Celebrate-Sustainable-Food-Shop-Your-Values-This-Fall.html | [

A lost dog is providing opportunity for Grace Brethren missionaries Kevin and Holly High to meet some of their new neighbors in northern Argentina. The Highs have recently moved to a new area, and the following is excerpted from one of their updates.
“We’ve been in the midst of a type of family crisis since last Friday night when our two boxer puppies, seven months old, escaped after dark from our home. They have been part of the family since March and are brother and sister, Spike and Samantha.
“In Argentina, this is something that both the police nor the SPCA helps with and the rule of finders-keepers is legal.
“On Monday, around lunchtime we recovered Samantha about five miles away in a dark mechanic’s shop inside the cab of a wrecked pickup truck. She was dehydrated and weak but is making a good recovery at home. It is a miracle of the direct intervention of God’s mighty hand that led us to find her. | 2019-04-19T09:23:30 | https://graceconnect.us/lost-dog-helps-missionaries-meet-neighbors/ | [

Recently my colleague Tracy had an article published in the Journal.ie.
The article was about how some women can feel sad or anxious about returning to work after maternity leave and Tracy offered some suggestions to lessen the anxiety and make the transition more bearable.
At the time of writing this piece the article had received over 19,500 views and 58 comments. What I found surprising was that in the comments there was a strong thread of outrage that any mother dares to feel sad or anxious about returning to work after maternity leave. Comments ranged from suggesting that this generation of women just ‘needed to get on with it’ to the fact that women should count themselves lucky that we have a ‘generous’ maternity leave in Ireland compared to countries such as the USA. Unsurprisingly none of the comments compared Ireland’s leave to the maternity leave in Norway (46 weeks), Denmark (52 weeks) or Sweden (420 days). There were also comments airing opinions about leaving children in a crèche versus staying at home.
I’m media savvy enough to know that people can be very vocal and often deliberately provocative with their views when behind the anonymity of a social profile. However these judgments don’t just happen online. They happen all around us, in our family, social circle and especially when we’re going back to work.
I’m not a mum; I’ve never taken maternity leave or left my child at a crèche or with a child-minder but that doesn’t stop me having empathy with working parents who are in this position.
And in the spirit of equality I’m not just about the mums here. Dads also have a role to play. In Ireland we have only just secured paid paternity leave of 2 weeks (as of September 2016) and we have a long way to go before we see the introduction of shared parenting leave schemes such as the UK or Sweden have.
It’s frustrating that despite all the evidence and research which illustrates how beneficial paid parental leave can be for not just parents, but also for children, society, and companies that there are still people out there who think women should just ‘buckle down’ and ‘get on with it’.
So, what can we do in the face of these people who are quick to judge? We know from the mums we work with at Mumager that there are working mums out there who face this kind of negative reaction regularly. Even the most confident of women can start to doubt themselves and the choices they’ve made by a seemingly innocuous ‘so your child is in crèche for five days?’ or ‘you must find it really hard to leave them with someone else?’ Here are my 5 top tips to dealing with the working mum ‘judgers’.
Don’t react or respond immediately. Take a deep breath and think about the most appropriate response, let your emotions subside before answering. The less reactive you are the more you can use good judgment to handle the person. ‘Don’t feed the trolls’ is an apt online expression. | 2019-04-24T04:32:41 | https://mumager.ie/2015/12/22/take-a-stand-against-those-that-judge-the-working-mum/ | [

Turbinenbräu, a small brewery from Switzerland’s financial capital Zurich, inadvertently triggered anger and protests from Nepalese citizens after one of its beers, which is brewed with Timut pepper, a spice associated with Nepal, was named after King Birendra, whose legacy is still hotly contested despite the overthrow of the monarchy ten years ago.
“I was looking for a Nepalese name that does not sound trite, like Everest,” Adrien Weber, the managing director of Turbinenbräu, told Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger. Finally he chose the name Birendra, because it is unique and it sounds similar to beer, he said.
Birendra Bir Bikram Shah was the King of Nepal from 1972 until June 1, 2001, when Birendra and eight members of the Royal Family were massacred at a royal dinner. According to the official version, mentally disturbed Crown Prince Dipendra committed suicide after gunning down almost all of the Royal family. One of the few survivors was Birendra’s brother Gyanenda, who took the throne but had to step down in 2008 thus ending 240 years of Nepalese monarchy.
“King Birendra is an immortal figure capturing millions of Nepalis’ hearts. Depicting him as an alcoholic beverage consumer and using his name for commercial purposes by a beverage company is highly condemnable,” said Mohan Shrestha, spokesperson for Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal.
Turbinenbräu was established in 1997 by former employees of Hürlimann, the last remaining brewery in Zurich, which was closed the same year. It is today the biggest brewery in the Canton of Zurich and belongs to the founders and about 400 minority shareholders. | 2019-04-24T10:52:44 | https://www.inside.beer/news/detail/nepalswitzerland-craft-brewery-offends-nepal-with-new-beer.html | [

To How Spot Coach Authentic An Snapguide Handbag State laws also require some establishments, such as those that sell alcohol, tobacco products, or firearms, to verify the age of a person by verifying the person’s identification. It is the business’s duty to ensure the ID presented is a valid one, and to ensure that it actually belongs to the person using it. If a retailer fails to properly inspect or verify an ID, it faces potential penalties from the state. These can include fines, license suspensions, and even license revocation. However, states typically allow retailers to avoid these penalties if the retailer uses reasonable methods to attempt to verify that the ID is valid.

Thats a real shame, my LLC got back to me to come to an induction session but after that I as pestering her LOADS for a start date and sometimes she didn't get back to me. However I came to realise its quite normal having to wait 6 weeks for a start date.
Maybe you should get back in contact with LL head office again and just say you have tried contacting your local LLC 3 times with no reply and are intrested in getting started. Im sure they will hurry her up. I havent heard of LL giving any discounts for any reason. However I her they are bring out a new program that is 3 packs and meal it may be cheaper, however I dont think this would work for some people. I would go straight of track if I had to introduce a meal.
Anyway good luck hopefully you will hear from someone soon.
Hi sorry to hear you're having trouble getting in touch with them. My llc was brilliant, it's my first day today only got in touch last thursday and had my info session on saturday. She was really supportive and just wanted to help me get started asap!
Hope you have more luck soon!
Are there any other LLC's in your area - there were 3 near me that I could choose from.
If cost is a problem, why not think about CD or Lipotrim, then you would be able to start straight away. Although it depends on whether you feel you need the counselling part of LL.
just a little rant - so annoying! | 2019-04-24T08:42:36 | https://www.minimins.com/threads/i-little-rant.65540/ | [

Guidobaldo was made prisoner, whilst the Duke of Gandia, Fabrizio Colonna, and the papal legate narrowly escaped, and took shelter in Ronciglione, the Pope's son being slightly wounded in the face.
- "The Life of Cesare Borgia", Raphael Sabatini.
The capture was due to the treason of one Fabrizio- a citizen of Capua- who secretly introduced the besiegers and was the first to be killed by them. | 2019-04-23T19:00:22 | http://www.dictionarylink.com/fabrizio | [

On this day, 11 years ago, our second son was killed in a car accident.
Some time after that, our family was returning home at night after a very emotional day of dealing with matters concerning the incident.
It had been raining, but the clouds were making way for a clear evening.
The rising moon was glowing in the eastern sky as we arrived at our house.
Something strange and unusual, however, was in the western sky.
I tried to photograph the scene, but it was too dark outside.
Looking past our roof, there appeared to be a rainbow.
A rainbow in the dark!
To my surprise, it was a phenomenon that was well documented.
We were looking at a moon bow, or by another name, a lunar rainbow.
Being quite rare, none of us had ever seen one.
As far as I know, no one in our family has seen one since.
In the Bible, we have the account of the flood that covered the earth.
This account is found in Genesis 9:8-16.
I think God sent the moon bow to me and my family that night long ago.
It proclaimed God’s work of beauty in the sky in a way previously unknown to us.
At the time, I knew in my heart that this occurrence was very special.
Even now, as I think back to that evening when our hearts were hurting, I see God’s comfort in a mighty way.
Could it be that He was reminding us of a covenant He had made about our eternity?
If you have ever “lost” a child in a store or in a park, you’ve felt that sick, empty fear, wondering desperately where they were.
God promises us that whoever believes in His Son, Jesus, will live forever with Him in Heaven.
When we found out that our son had died, it was like a giant door weighing tons had just been shut, separating us.
In that first instant, something deep inside my heart as his mother had to cry out silently from within, wondering desperately where he was.
The answer to that cry is found in Jesus’ words above.
Our son had professed his belief in God and in Jesus many years before his death.
I still have the worn Bible that he read from every night.
Was it God reminding me then— and even now as I recall it— that my son was with His Son, in Heaven?
A covenant of redemption that would not be broken for those who belong to Jesus?
Our son is in Heaven, yet I remain here.
I believe that if he could talk to me now, he would want me to tell others how they could be in Heaven someday, too.
As I think of him tonight, the memories are huge in my heart.
Our son is alive in Heaven.

On Tuesday, August 20, a US army veteran named Mark Paslawsky was killed during a battle in Ilovyask, near Donetsk, which is currently held by anti-Kiev rebels.
Fighting on the side of pro-government forces, the American had sprung to prominence because of his Twitter feed (@BruceSpringnote), often sharply critical of Ukrainian politicians, and a fawning video interview with Vice News’ Simon Ostrovsky shortly before his death.
The 55-year-old West Point graduate, who was also a former investment banker, mainly focused on Moscow, Kharkov and Kiev, claimed he had changed his nationality to Ukrainian to enlist in the Donbass Battalion. Paslawsky fought under the pseudonym ‘Franko’ and served in the US army until at least 1991, when he was described as a captain in a New York Times op-ed.
There was a very good reason for Paslawsky’s use of a nom-de-guerre like ‘Franko’ and the social media handle ‘Bruce Springnote’ and for the soft soap in the US media.
Paslawsky was not an “ordinary Joe” from New Jersey with benign family connections to Ukraine who suddenly decided to help defend the motherland, he was the nephew of the notorious Nazi Mykola Lebed – who incredibly was employed by the CIA from 1949 to possibly as late as 1991. There is no insinuation that Paslawksy also harbored fascist or anti-Semitic beliefs, but family influences surely played a significant role in the formation of his world view.
Lebed began his terrorist career in 1934 when he was sentenced to death for the murder of Polish Interior Minister Bronislaw Pieracki – later commuted to life imprisonment – but he escaped in 1939. He would go on to lead the genocidal ethnic cleansing of Poles in Eastern Galicia and Volhynia (the area around Lutsk and Rivne in modern-day Ukraine).
Instead of facing trial for his vicious war crimes after his fellow fascists in Germany were defeated, Lebed was spirited to America where – based in New York – he gathered information on the Soviet Union for the CIA (a scheme known as Operation Aerodynamic).
Of course, sheltering Nazis was a common US practice after the war, as bizarre as it seems today, with the primary reason being their potential usefulness in the fight against the Soviet Union. The best known example is Klaus Barbie who they helped to escape to Bolivia, and later Argentina, but according to a 2009 National Archives report “Hitler’s Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, US Intelligence and the Cold War” there were dozens of similar cases. Among them was Rudolf Mildner, who was “responsible for the execution of hundreds, if not thousands, of suspected Polish resisters” and was also involved in the deportation of 8,000 Danish Jews to Auschwitz. The Americans helped Mildner to settle in Argentina. Another was Hans Scholl, a member of Einsatzgruppe B in Belarus, which was blamed for the execution of more than 45,000 people, most of them Jewish.
The report goes into great detail about the hideous crimes of Paslawsky’s uncle. One man extensively quoted is Moshe Maltz, a Jew living in Sokal, a town about 85 kilometers north of Lviv: “When the Bandera gangs (a name inspired by the chief Ukrainian Nazi leader, Stepan Bandera) seize a Jew, they consider it a prize catch. The ordinary Ukrainians feel the same way… they all want to participate in the heroic (sic) act of killing a Jew. They literally slash Jews to pieces with their machetes.” Lebed trained at a Gestapo center in Zakopane.
Interestingly, in 1985 the US Government Accountability Office in Washington mentioned Lebed’s name in a public report on Nazis and collaborators who settled in the States with help from US intelligence agencies. The Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in the Department of Justice began investigating Lebed that year.
The CIA shielded Lebed and, as late as 1991, it dissuaded the OSI from approaching the German, Polish, and Soviet governments for war-related records about Ukrainian fascists. Lebed, Bandera’s wartime chief in Ukraine, died in 1998. He is buried in New Jersey.
Leded married Sophia Hunczak, the sister of Taras Hunczak, a professor emeritus of Rutgers University in New Jersey, where he lectures in Ukrainian, Russian and European History. He also teaches at the Taras Shevchecnko University in Kiev. Despite being a child during World War II, his Ukrainian language Wikipedia entry, judging by the links and tone, an official bio, lists his service as a courier for Bandera’s forces during the war.
Hunczak has written articles for Ukrainian journals whitewashing Roman Shukhevych and his Nachtigall Battalion, including some heavy duty eulogies obviously intended for internal consumption in the Ukrainian language. The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles claims that between June 30 and July 3, 1941, the Nachtgall and their German comrades kidnapped and killed 4,000 Jews in Lviv. In 2007, the pro-NATO Ukrainian government of Viktor Yushchenko issued a postage stamp commemorating Shukhevych.
So how we do know Paslawsky is the nephew of Lebed after his extensive efforts to hide his true identity? His Ukrainian-language Wikipedia entry refers to him as being the nephew of Hunczak and also mentions a brother, Nestor.
In the September 13, 2009, edition of the US newspaper The Ukrainian Weekly, there is a death notice forSophia Lebed(this page has been removed from the PDF copy on their website as of August 28, but copies are in circulation, one pictured above) lists all her living relatives, including her brother, Taras Hunczak, and her nephews Nestor and Markian (Mark in English) Paslawsky. While it mentions Nestor’s family, it doesn’t for Mark – he told Ostrovsky in the Vice interview that he was a single man.
A second death notice for Sophia, at the Union Funeral Home in New Jersey, describes her as the “beloved wife of the late Michael (the English form of Mykola) Lebed.” Interestingly, this page was removed on August 27 after Ukrainian violinist Valentina Lisitsa questioned the US government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty about it on Twitter – it now exists as a cached version only.
Somebody has been trying to hide the true story of Mark Paslawskyin recent days and western media have shown no interest in telling it.
The German language has a word for coming to terms with the past: Vergangenheitsbewältigung. English has many but the US press refuses, once again, to use them. | 2019-04-22T10:22:53 | https://www.rt.com/op-ed/183796-mark-paslawsky-us-ukraine/ | [

Trek all the way to the store and hand over your hard-earned cash to quench your thirst.
Decipher ambiguous food labels on bottled beverages.
Rinse your containers out and drag them to the recycling bin (or to the store if you’ve bought a drink in a bottle with a return deposit).
Maybe even better, you don’t support Coke and Pepsi or help fund their opposition to soda taxes (which they lost here in California—take that Big Soda!). Just turn on the tap, fill a glass and drink. I bring my Klean Kanteen with me everywhere and use it for water (and for tea…I drink black tea almost every day…I have tried quitting…it is hopeless…).
I think we all know that a calorie’s worth of lentils requires way fewer resources to produce than does a calorie’s worth of beef. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), emissions from livestock account for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. And beef and dairy cattle account for 65 percent of that.
If you read my blog at all, you may have noticed that I am obsessed with fermentation and the gut (the gut loves fermented food). Well, your gut gives you another reason to eat more vegetables. In their fantastic book The Good Gut, Stanford microbiologists Justin and Erica Sonnenburg explain that certain microbes in your gut convert L-carnitine—found in red meat—into trimethylamine (TMI), which when oxidized becomes trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). “High levels of TMAO increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and other cardiac events.” People who eat a plant-based diet harbor fewer of these TMAO-producing microbes.
Those appliances you never use take up valuable real estate on your kitchen counter and cupboards. Give them to a friend who will actually use them or donate them to a thrift shop. Do you really need a mango slicer, bagel guillotine or Keurig? How about a microwave? Its usefulness-to-size ratio is about 1:20 for most people. Clear the clutter, you’ll free up space and make your kitchen more efficient and more pleasant to work in.
And, judging from my best Instagram pics of 2016, people like how food looks in jars. WARNING: If you go plastic-free and zero-waste, you may develop a jar obsession.
Even a little bit of meal planning will reduce food waste, save money, save time, reduce stress, improve your diet and probably improve the taste of your food (because you’ll plan for tasty stuff rather than just grabbing the first thing you find in the cupboard). I start meal planning by going through my fridge and pantry and making meals out of what I find there first. Here’s a link to a downloadable and fillable meal planner I created.
It wouldn’t be a list of new year’s resolution without something about diet in it. Cut processed food and you can skip the other five resolutions. You’ll eat better, cut down on plastic packaging and be healthier.
Can you really get a mango slicer? I obviously need to get out more, maybe I could use a bagel guillotine too. Don’t think so!
My older daughter used to have a mango slicer and a couple of days before I wrote this post, my younger daughter spied a bagel slicer at the thrift shop. She asked for it (I think just to see my reaction) but I said no way (I’m mean…).
Hey there – I love love love this post. I read your blog constantly and I linked this post in my own blog post at http://www.savingsarahgrace.wordpress.com on liberating and ecofriendly resolutions for the new year. Thank you so much for all your inspiration!
Thanks so much for linking to the post and for reading my blog 🙂 Happy new year!
Those bagel slicers are complete crap too. We used to have them at work and they would just mangle the bagel!
They look like they would break easily whereas I’m pretty sure I will pass down my knives to my kids (including a bread knife that cuts bagels really well!). | 2019-04-21T05:27:43 | https://zerowastechef.com/2016/12/31/6-resolutions-waste-less-2017/comment-page-1/ | [

Carmen up to Data is a musical burlesque with a score written by Meyer Lutz. The piece was a spoof of Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen. The libretto was written by G. R. Sims and Henry Pettitt.
After a tryout in Liverpool in September 1890, the piece premiered at the Gaiety Theatre, London, on 4 October 1890, produced by George Edwardes. It starred Florence St. John in the title role, Letty Lind as Mercedes, Jenny Dawson as Escamillo, Maria Jones as Michaela, Blanche Massey as Morales, Horace Mills as Remendado, E. J. Lonnen as José and Arthur Williams as Captain Zuniga.
The piece was a success and toured throughout the English-speaking world, reaching Australia by 1892.
Bizet's Carmen had first been produced in English in London in 1878 at Her Majesty's Theatre, starring Selina Dolaro and Durward Lely. An earlier burlesque of Carmen, called Carmen: or, Sold for a Song, by Robert Reece, had also been produced at the Folly Theatre in 1879, and several other burlesques followed. Burlesque of opera or classical works was popular in Britain from the 1860s to the 1880s. Other examples at the Gaiety include The Bohemian G-yurl and the Unapproachable Pole (1877), Blue Beard (1882), Ariel (1883, by F. C. Burnand), Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed (1883), Little Jack Sheppard (1885), Monte Cristo Jr. (1886), Miss Esmeralda (1887), Frankenstein, or The Vampire's Victim (1887), Mazeppa, Faust up to Date (1888), Ruy Blas and the Blasé Roué (1888), Cinder Ellen up too Late (1891), and Don Juan (1892, with lyrics by Adrian Ross). The piece was produced two years after the theatre's Faust up to Date. In the December 1890 issue of Punch magazine, the reviewer wrote, "In calling their burlesque Carmen up to Data possibly the two dear clever boys who wrote it intended some crypto-jocosity of which the hidden meaning is known only to the initiated in these sublime mysteries. Why 'Data'? On the other hand, 'Why not?' However attractive or not as a heading in a bill of the play, the Gaiety Carmen is, on the whole, a merry, bright, and light burlesque-ish piece."
John Hollingshead managed the Gaiety Theatre from 1868 to 1886 as a venue for variety, continental operetta, light comedy, and numerous musical burlesques composed or arranged by the theatre's music director, Wilhelm Meyer Lutz. Hollingshead called himself a "licensed dealer in legs, short skirts, French adaptations, Shakespeare, taste and musical glasses." In 1886, Hollingshead ceded the management of the theatre to George Edwardes, whom he had hired in 1885. Edwardes expanded the burlesque format from one act to full-length pieces with original music by Lutz, instead of scores compiled from popular tunes, and choreography by the theatre's dance-master, John D'Auban. Nellie Farren, as the theatre's "principal boy," and Fred Leslie starred at the Gaiety for over 20 years. Leslie wrote many of its pieces under his pseudonym, "A. C. Torr". In the early 1890s, as Burlesque went out of fashion, Edwardes changed the focus of the theatre from musical burlesque to the new genre of Edwardian musical comedy. | 2019-04-24T14:09:55 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_up_to_Data | [
