I'm planning on going to Curso Flamenco in Sanlucar this year. It will be my 1st time going. Is anyone else going?
I'm looking for any tips on travel to Spain with my guitar (I've flown domestic USA with it). And info on the classes, such as the levels, like which one to take, Beginner or Advanced.
Will you be using internal European flights? Those might be the bigger problem.
Just in case it helps: If you're arriving into and from Madrid then the train to Jerez is easy. From there a hire car to Sanlucar.
Beware - medium and long distance trains in Spain must be pre-booked.
I'm looking at travel options now. It looks like I can fly into Sevilla, then take a bus or car to Sanlucar, as the least expensive option.
Rent a car and drive down. Hotel los helechos, where you must stay, has a garage.
I am new to the forum as well and I am off to Spain this summer for a week long festival and flamenco workshop in La Puebla de Cazalla. It is put on by Antonio Andrade and Cazalla is his home town.
Antonio is friends with a very good friend of mine - Beau Bledsoe. He helps me out with my flamenco and asked me to come with him this year. It is July 6th-14th.
I assume this is the class you are going to?
Looks like a very nice workshop.
Hi mbspark- The curso that you are attending looks great too. Thanks for the link. Iĺl look into it next year or so.
I wish I had the time and money to travel to Spain and take guitar classes every year!
David just some bits and pieces if you are not already fixed up.
Hire a car, but after a long trip I wouldn't fancy that.
The airport bus will take you to the Santa Justa train station or the bus station (about 25 mins in traffic). Be aware many miss the train station stop as it is not obvious you are at the train station (jet lag does funny things to people).
The bus costs 4 Euros but they are not that frequent. You may wait 30 mins and the bus can be very crowded.
The taxi should be fixed at 22 Euros. Quite often I find someone on the plane or while waiting for luggage to share with.
All prices subject to a rise but a taxi who does it on the meter should be shot.
There is a hotel opposite Santa Justa, Ayre hotel. Incredible confort and currently hotels.com (there are other agents) are offering under 70 USD a night in July.
The train from Santa Justa is just over an hour to Jerez. That is where I'd think about a car but presumably during the course you will have little need for one??? There are buses but infrequent. A taxi you might get for 25 Euros.
The bus from Sevilla to Sanlucar might only cost 10 Euros, but an hour and 15 mins on a bus is not my thing.
hello from Portugal , do you have dates and prices for that?
Iĺl stay at Hotel Los Helechos in Sanlucar.
Iḿ planning on flying into Sevilla to get there in the afternoon. Stay in Barrio Santa Cruz for one night, see some Flamenco, then hang out at LaCarboneria for a couple beers. Then Leave for Sanlucar on Sunday to get to the opening reception for the curso.
Enjoy it , to much for me to spend on holliday course.
Been there twice. First time great. Second time stuck on first floor right in front of the roundabout, so noisy as hell if you open window. Aircon is the nasty old fashioned one-setting-for-all-rooms kind. No per room thermostat. It was set for mid afternoon in the sahara setting. Utter sleepless hell. Will never stay there again.
Utter sleepless hell. Will never stay there again.
Shows just how tough it is to be certain of getting what one expects I guess. Things go wrong. And sounds like you got the wrong bit in spades. Sorry to hear that.
But to be fair to them they have thousands of positive ratings on TA, Booking.com and Hotels.com.
I also last month stayed at their hotel in Oviedo. Again excellent service, amazing bed, and a room I could have had a 50 guest party in.
But to anyone going there are lots of options near Santa Justa.
And info on the classes, such as the levels, like which one to take, Beginner or Advanced.
I went 5 or 6 years ago and loved it.... Unless you are a monster guitar player I would do the begginer course... I did that and he showed us loads of great stuff some of it playable but some of it ridiculous... Its Gerardo Nuñez so its all incredible, I still remember the sound.
If I was going again I would definetly try and spend the extra on the cante classes with Antonio Carrión... they sound amazing and the groups are smaller.
Price wise its €300 for 10 hours with one of the best flamenco players on the planet, a chance to hang out with him and other great players and see shows every night for free. I think thats pretty reasonable.
Ricardo that's all well and good for the beginners, but what is the complex stuff like?
it borders on the usable, ie scales chords/knowledge to stuff which only the flamenco gods can play. I found it useful, he did alot of improv and stuff in different tonos last year.
Antonio's class is very useful, i got an immense benefit from it last year, getting correction and what to work on.
well if you put it that way , its a very good price almost cheap..
Anyone know similiar but cheaper?
These courses in Córdoba are cheaper and some amazing people running them. | 2019-04-25T03:54:02 | http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=317181&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1 |
Huge crowds marched from Victoria Square to the city’s Gay Village in Hurst Street, marking one of the first Prides of 2018.
A sense of freedom reigned in the streets as people marched.
Pride marches have radical origins as part of the Gay Liberation Movement in the 1970s that fought oppression.
While real gains have been made, LGBT+ people still face discrimination in Britain and still live in a capitalist society that represses and distorts people’s sexuality.
But there are attempts to remove politics from Pride.
In Birmingham the trade union bloc was big, lively and young, but was pushed to the back by organisers.
And in Sheffield, Pride organisers said they would not accept “any applications by political groups” because it was a “celebration march not a protest”.
They said “offensive placards” would not be allowed, but didn’t specify what this meant.
The Sheffield organisers’ decision caused outrage from LGBT+ activists online.
Many go to Pride as a celebration—but using that to push out politics is a cover for a more corporate message.
As more Pride marches approach, activists can organise for big, political blocs to make the link between its radical roots and fighting for liberation today. | 2019-04-20T07:41:29 | https://socialistworker.co.uk/art/46669/Pride+is+a+celebration+but+can+also+be+a+protest |
The official interpretation of gaming is “to play any kind of lottery for cash or various other risks,” so gaming does not imply that it needs to remain in a casino; betting can happen anywhere… One of the most preferred sorts of betting beyond a บาคาร่า casino is possibly in the house Texas holder video games. It appears as if every person is constantly holding a video game of Texas Hold ‘me at their residence. These video games are very easy to obtain with each other and are a fun method to hang around with good friends. If you win, it’s additionally a fun method to make some fast money. | 2019-04-18T22:45:17 | https://www.u2betc.com/baccarat-gaming/ |

The funny thing about the Bible; you can read a story all your life, and still get a new message from what you read. That happened to me this week as I went through Mark 8.
There is a moment when Jesus is, very clearly, telling his disciples what his death and resurrection would look like. Peter, the fairly outspoken disciple whose words seem to spill out faster than is mind can process them, “rebukes” Jesus for the conversation. I’m not sure if the rebuke was because Jesus was speaking so bluntly, or if he was trying to encourage “positive thoughts” among the crew. Either way, he made it pretty clear that he thought Jesus was out of line.
Jesus came back with one of the harshest rebukes we see him give a follower.
Get behind me Satan!… You do not have in mind the things of God, but merely human concerns.
I think that, every time I’ve read this, I’ve been put of balance by the “Get behind me Satan” part, that I have tended to miss the real rebuke.
Whatever Peter’s concerns or desires, they were out of line with God’s plan.
I don’t think Peter was saying anything I would have thought was out of line. We WANT to avoid talk of pain. We WANT to be positive as we make our plans. I think Peter thought he was taking a stand for something good.
But then it struck me. How often do I pray in the same way? I pray for “a good day today”. I pray over my daughters that they would “have a good night’s sleep”. I am praying for my wife that she “have a great trip”. I ask God for things that are merely human concerns. How can I shift my prayers to pray for “things of God”.
Perhaps not “help her to have a good night’s sleep”, but rather “help her to shine your light at school tomorrow”.
Perhaps not “help me to have a good day and get my project done”, but rather “help me to see others as you see them. Give me the words I need to respond to a difficult situation in a way that points to You”.
Perhaps not “grant her a safe trip”, but rather “help her to learn more in a way that makes her more effective in accomplishing the tasks you have given her”.
I’m not completely sure what that looks like yet, but I do realize that I need to move my prayer life from my human concerns, to the things of God. | 2019-04-22T21:56:20 | http://life979.com/2013/03/i-think-im-praying-wrong/ |

Community nutrition programs are becoming an increasing interest for dietetic professionals. The Penn State dietetic internship offers many opportunities for interns to explore these programs.
The learning experiences during the four-week Cooperative Extension experience range from food demonstrations to developing educational materials for lower-income children and adults.
A two-week rotation in the supermarket setting provides interns an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of food products and marketing. During the two weeks spent at a GIANT Foods Store in the Harrisburg area, interns conduct food demonstrations and connect customers to nutrition information as they shop. Opportunities for registered dietitians in this segment are increasing and the exposure will give interns an overview of these career opportunities.
A two week rotation centered on time in the Baird Wellness Center with the Director of Wellness and staff. One week will be working on projects at the farm market at Masonic Villages.
The eighteen-week medical nutrition therapy rotation will take place at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Hershey Medical Center is a 507-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital providing specialized services in internal nutrition, oncology, renal disease, cardiology, and pediatrics to residents of central Pennsylvania. The medical center's nutrition staff includes sixteen registered dietitians, half of which have completed advanced degrees. Interns will receive approximately thirty didactic hours of training in medical nutrition therapy at this site under the supervision of the clinical coordinator. The rotation will provide interns with practical experience in nephrology, trauma/critical care, and pediatric units. Theory and didactic experiences will be incorporated into the practical experiences through interactive learning, case studies and special projects.
Interns will spend 5-weeks at Masonic Villages in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. This continuing care retirement community is located on more than 1,400 acres of Lancaster County farmland. The facility accommodates 1,600 residents with living arrangements from apartments and cottages to skilled nursing care.
In this rotation, interns will receive a comprehensive experience while rotating through the state-of-the-art cook/chill facility, several of the dining rooms available to the residents, and various kitchens throughout the campus. Interns will learn the complexities of forecasting, ordering, and purchasing for a large health care facility. In addition, they will assist in sanitation inspections, employee training, quality control, and customer services.
A five-week school nutrition rotation emphasizes the unique aspects of food service management important to this field. Interns will be able to experience the unique challenges and opportunities in this important segment of the dietetics field working alongside Food Service Directors. Interns will also have a week dedicated to development of a Business Plan on a topic of relevance to the school district assigned.
The goal of the research rotation of the Penn State Dietetic Internship program is to provide dietetic interns with a comprehensive overview of nutrition research, emphasizing the importance of translational nutrition research and its application to public health and dietary recommendations. This rotation is in total of two-weeks, but scheduled within the clinical rotations.
The registered dietitian plays a significant role in synthesizing research outcomes and communicating this information to the general public. The research rotation is designed specifically to assist the intern with understanding the research process. Interns will participate in research studies, write a research proposal and participate in journal clubs at The Penn State Milton Hershey Medical Center and Penn State University College of Medicine. In addition a day will be spent at the Main Campus in University Park to become familiar with various research settings.
The intent of the four-week enrichment rotation is for the intern to further develop skills in an area of dietetics that interests them. Past sites have included HealthSouth Rehabilitation, Hotel Hershey Spa, Super Bakery, San Diego Public School System, Sheetz Corporate Headquarters, Mount Nittany Medical Center (small community hospital), Centre Medical and Surgical Associates, and Blair Medical Associates.
Submit to the dietetics program director for approval. | 2019-04-21T20:31:45 | https://hhd.psu.edu/nutrition/undergraduate/penn-state-dietetic-internship/rotations-offered-penn-state-dietetic-internship |

Stu Ross, The Outreach Foundation’s mission staff in Kenya, has been busy this summer with visiting volunteer church teams and church dedications. In this update, Stu shares stories about three of the PCEA churches in Kenya that were recently completed and dedicated – Nagum, Olosirkon, and Suswa.
Stu writes about the dedication of Nagum Church: “This beautiful church was dedicated today, July 16. One of the remarkable things about this church is that it is in a very remote location with no water, no stores, and no roads. But people are there, and the church was crowded. The people were so happy with their new church.
Also from Stu, about the Olosirkon Church dedication: “Imagine the joy of the Olosirkon congregation as we processed from the old mabati (steel) church to their new stone church. It took two years to complete. The church is beautiful with a ceramic tile floor, high curved altar, stained glass window on the back wall, two side rooms, and a handicap ramp at the front entrance.
Stu continues: “We dedicated another church deep in Maasai land, PCEA Suswa Church. The church is located in the Narok side of Maasai land, over 70 kms (~43 miles) away on a bush dirt road off the paved road. Another very remote area.
The Outreach Foundation is grateful for your partnership with Stu Ross in East Africa.

There were some commonalities in the ideological beliefs that led to the Mahad-Chavdar Satyagrahs and the ones that ignited the French Revolution. The French Revolution brought the idea of equality centre stage and its logical fallout was the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. The twin satyagrahs defined, loud and clear, the human rights of the untouchables. The satyagrahs, led by Babasaheb Ambedkar, not only showed the right path to the Dalits, who were then just emerging as a new social force, but they also sowed the seed for the rise of the Dalits as a political force. This movement and its failures and successes are of crucial importance and its implications need to be studied closely. Of special relevance are the revolutionary pronouncements of Ambedkar during these movements.
Ambedkar had offered a three-pronged solution to the problems of the Dalit community reeling under the scourge of untouchability. The first was giving up dirty professions or jobs; second, stop eating the meat of dead animals; and third and the most important, to shed inferiority complex of being an Untouchable and develop self-respect. Taken together, the three pieces of advice constitute a potent and effective socio-psychological formula. The persons and the social groups which imbibed the formula marched on the path to progress.
Ambedkar’s formula show us the way to look at untouchability, deprivation or exploitation from a fresh perspective. This is imperative too, as the uselessness of the old political ways of dealing with the issue has been proved beyond any doubt. The way principles were sacrificed on the altar of electoral expediency and the manner in which leaders were sold and purchased in the run-up to the last general elections, was depressing, to say the least. In this otherwise bleak scenario, the three pieces of advice evoke hope. Unitl now, all the discourses have been blaming discriminatory social and political norms for the problems of the Untouchables. But what has not been explored is the deep psychological compulsion that made the Untouchables look down upon themselves. This rendered them intrinsically weak. Of course, one can blame social and political conspiracies for it and one would not be entirely off the mark either, but Ambedkar’s formula for growth and progress is more personal and psychological than political. And it must be viewed and understood in that way.
At some point in time in the hoary past, the Buddhists were compelled to become Untouchables. Unless we study the method that put them in that position, we will not be able to comprehend the psychological process that not only made a section of society untouchable but also made them feel that they are so. Ambedkar’s research shows that the Buddhists of the past are the Dalits of the present, especially those Buddhists who used to eat the meat of dead animals.
A Buddhist tale talks about the Lord telling a monk that whatever he receives as alms should be eaten without making any choices. One day, a crow flying overhead dropps a piece of meat in the begging bowl of the monk. He appears before the Tataghat and sought guidance. According to the tale, Buddha tells him that as it is the meat of an animal that is already dead, consuming it won’t involve any violence. With time, this became a canon and even today, in some Buddhist countries, meat shops have boards declaring that “Meat of animals which have died a natural death is sold here”. The fact that many Indian castes also consumed meat of dead animals was one of the factors that led Ambedkar to conclude that the Untouchables of today are the Buddhists of the past. If we put alongside Tataghat’s order, the Brahmanical conspiracy that followed it and Ambedkar’s three-point formula, we can understand how Untouchables are born and how they can come out of that state of mind, and this can help us learn many valuable lessons.
Tataghat permitting the monk to eat the piece of meat dropped by the crow cost this country dear. The question before Buddha was whether the monks should be given the freedom of choice, as far as things received as alms was concerned. The very objective of seeking alms and surviving on them is to deny oneself all choices and thus control one’s desires. According to Buddhism, once we allow our mind to make a choice, we become slaves to greed and go down the slippery path of degradation. Buddha’s permission to the monk to consume the piece of meat should be viewed against this backdrop. If, at that time, Buddha had disallowed consumption of the piece of meat, the monks would not have turned meat-eaters but would have been granted the right to choice, thus nullifying their “sadhna”. This was not acceptable to Buddha. Hence, Buddha allowed the monk to consume the piece of meat because it did not involve violence. By implication, he allowed all monks to eat the meat of dead animals.
Subsequently, when the Hindu religion was weakened due to the challenges posed by Jainism and Buddhism, and was trying to regain its pre-eminence, it used these commands/bans in a different manner, assimilating the best of them. Hindu religion has an unmatched capacity to assimilate other traditions and faiths and in one sense, that makes it a great religion. But it also has a dark underbelly – one manifestation of which is the notion of untouchability with its horrific and painful implications.
Parallel to the attempts to rejuvenate the Hindu religion by reorganizing its Vedic knowledge systems, there was also an endeavour to absorb the Buddhist monks and Jain saints, with their bright and clean image, into Hinduism. It is a historical fact that the Buddhist mendicants and Jain sadhus enjoyed much greater popular acceptance and respect than the comfort-loving Brahmins. The lifestyle and knowledge of the monks, who led a very harsh, extremely disciplined life, were much more impressive than of the Brahmins. That was probably why Buddhism spread over entire Asia within a short period of time. But Buddhism’s overemphasis on reclusion and non-violence proved to be its undoing. The conspiracies hatched by other religionists did the rest and Buddhism was virtually wiped out from India.
When the Hindu religious leaders were drawing up the canons aimed at securing a respectable position for the Hindu sanyasis, they borrowed heavily from Jains and Buddhists. The Hindu sanyasi also became a brahmachari and started living on alms. Meat-eating was declared a taboo and a harsh code of conduct was drafted. In contrast, in the Vedic age, Brahmins led comfortable family lives. Once Hindu religion emerged from its bad days and became powerful once again, it foisted the Buddhist and Jain saints’s lifestyle on its sanyasis and declared Buddhists as Untouchables. To ensure that they remain economically and socially weak, menial and dirty jobs were assigned to them.
This brief explanation would suffice to understand how, sometimes, psychological techniques are more effective than social or political conspiracies. They not only give the exploiter the right to exploit but fill the exploited with a deep sense of inferiority. Untouchability, which was a political phenomenon, gradually became a social tradition.
Let us go a bit deeper into the issue. Distinguishing good from bad, superior from inferior, is a natural human instinct, which helps humans survive as a biological and social being. A profession which does not involve dirty work or where one’s skills or knowledge are important is considered higher and better. That is why those who are possessors of knowledge are considered superior in every society. This knowledge may relate to religion, use of weapons, science, or business and commerce. Although the jobs assigned to the Shudras also involve use of skills and knowledge, however, because this involved dealing with filth and dirt, they were never considered respectable. This kind of mentality is unfortunate; it should be shunned. But, then, the undeniable fact that this is the way collective social psyche works.
Thus it is clear that being involved in dirty or grimy work makes one an Untouchable. Even conceding that the work which the Shudras did was dirty compared with the work of teachers, businessmen or warriors, what made the system stifling and horrendous was that this division of work was based on birth. It made generation after generation of Untouchables bear a permanent stigma and suffer from inferiority complex. Had the division of work not been birth-based, untouchability would have been linked with the work one does, rather than with the family one was born into. It would not have been the cross that generations were forced to carry. Thus the genesis of untouchability lies in identification with dirty work, the feeling of inferiority born of it and the society’s humiliating attitude towards those doing such work.
When seen in this context, it is apparent that Ambedkar’s radical advice had the potential of igniting a new revolution. When he asks the Dalits to give up dirty or menial jobs, he wants to be free them from the feeling of inferiority and weakness rooted in their profession. When he urges them to give up eating the meat of dead animals, he is asking them to lead a clean, hygienic lifestyle and adopt non-violence as a creed. And when he calls upon them to cast away the feeling of inferiority, he wants them to gain self-confidence so that they can give a befitting reply to their exploiters and put an end to the chain of exploitation.
What is the takeaway for us from Ambedkar’s advice? This is a very crucial question. The lessons that we draw from history will decide our future, especially in these times when the history of India seems to be poised for a long-term, permanent change. As we pass through these politically transitional times, we should rethink the direction of Dalit movement and discourse. Until now, the Dalit movement and discourse has been limited to the political and social spheres, and its impact is clearly visible. Dalits have become politically empowered and today no party – or for that matter all parties taken together – cannot dare ignore Dalit issues. But for want of a cultural and religious revolution, this political power is taking Dalits on the path to self-annihilation. Dalits may have become politically strong but their political power is not under their control. It is being controlled from somewhere else. That is because they have gained political power without first developing a strong cultural ground.
Embedded in this feeling of power is the potential of a downfall. The situation is somewhat akin to the exploitation of the Muslim vote-bank and the global downfall of the Muslim community. Though there are many commonalities between the Muslims and the Dalits, there is much dissimilarity, too. But both have been exploited by the mainstream political parties. This was done as part of a grand conspiracy. The contours of this socio-psychological conspiracy become acutely clear in the light of Ambedkar’s three-point formula.
To begin with, Dalit identity was linked to unclean professions and this identity was given the form of a tradition, thus rendering them untouchables in perpetuity. The Muslims and the Dalits were also deprived of education. The untouchables were socially alienated and forced to keep away from education. This affected Muslims, too, because most of the Muslims are converted Untouchables. After Independence, conservatism was encouraged among Muslims and they were made slaves of Mullahs. The policy of appeasement was used to keep them away from education. The Muslims were confined to religious education and madarsas with disastrous results. Deprivation from education was even more disastrous for the Dalits. Being Untouchables, they were forced into “unclean” professions and this, in turn, perpetuated their untouchable status. This was a vicious cycle and all attempts of the Dalits to break it were crushed by the savarnnas. Muslims, most of whom are converted Dalits, kept away from education due to altogether different reasons.
In other words, historically, the Dalits have been long aware of the importance and need of education. This is clear from the efforts made in this direction by Mahatma Phule and other Dalit leaders. On the other hand, the Muslim indifference to education and development is born of their conscious decision. They have chosen to remain uneducated. Dalits wanted to get educated but they were barred by the savarnas. The Muslims rejected modern education as part of their endeavour to retain and prove their distinct identity. In a country where Hindus have thousands of years of rich history, Muslims found themselves gripped with a strange sense of insecurity. To retain its distinct identity and protect its traditions, the community withdrew into a cocoon and became wary of modern education. They feared that modern education would kill their distinct identity and their younger generation would adopt the ways of other religionists.
It is clear that the Dalits and Muslims have radically different attitudes towards modern education and any movement that wants to bring them together to build a shared future would have to resolve these contradictions. These contradictions are visible in the recent history.
It is high time the Dalits independently took the path of modern education and acquired knowledge of the English language. This was what Ambedkar also said. There is a need to keep away from the Dalit-Muslim coalition peddled by the leftists. This need is more acute today. The entire Dalit community should realize this. Ambedkar was never in favour of adopting the ways of the communists. He knew very well that the opportunist leftists could use the resentment among the Dalits to serve their political ends. This understanding of Ambedkar needs to be imbibed.
If Dalits are to adopt the three-point formula of Ambedkar to emerge from untouchability, they will have to acquire education and turn modern on their own. Empowerment and awareness will lead them to a better future. Similarly, the Muslim community should distance itself from those elements among them which are against modern education and progress. Until education and modernity gain wide acceptance in the Muslim community, the Dalit movement should refrain from forging a joint front with them. In short, the Dalits and their movement have to keep away from the conscious retrogression of another community as well from the utopia of revolutionary ideologies.
Unfortunately, the article lacks historical accuracy and depth. Good to have pride but do not sacrifice facts. For instance meat stores.
Article loads up on a conspiracy theory of Hindus to decimate Buddhism. This could not have been possible as Hinduism has never been controlled by a single institution (like the Bible or Quran or Pope). The chances of the entire Hindu community coming together to orchestrate a strategy to annihilate Buddhism and Jainism sounds like good fiction. Buddhism did not survive because it is nihilistic orientation. Islam was more pragmatic as a religion, hence survived and expanded. Hinduism survived not because of the abstract Vedic concepts, but the strong threads of ritualistic traditions that entice masses into faith. | 2019-04-26T10:49:01 | https://www.forwardpress.in/2016/11/ambedkars-three-point-revolutionary-advice/ |

The views of marijuana being simply a drug for stoners are changing as laws governing the drug are becoming more relaxed, and marijuana is more acceptable as a means of relief in the medical community. The legality, uses, scrutiny and future of marijuana are changing.
As the nation navigates the murky waters of medical marijuana, many people remain confused: why use marijuana when there are other, legal options to treat these ailments? There appears no easy answer – proponents of medical marijuana claim marijuana’s efficacy far surpasses that of traditional therapeutic approaches.
The topic of legalizing marijuana has sparked enormous controversy across the country, with many states examining and debating legislation supporting this issue. The recreational and medical use of marijuana have been discussed and disputed in the general public and among health professionals as well. As some states are moving towards legalizing marijuana, potential risks and benefits are being heavily weighed.
Understanding the possible implications of legalizing marijuana is extremely important. Recent research has exposed how marijuana use may predispose offspring to drug addiction. In a study completed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, parental exposure to marijuana and the effects it has on the offspring in adulthood was studied.
In the first-ever global survey of illicit drug abuse, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington found marijuana to be the most widely used illegal drug worldwide, but the most deaths are caused by addiction to prescription painkillers, such as Vicodin and Oxycontin.
What exactly is marijuana? Marijuana is a psychoactive drug made with dried leaves and other parts of the Cannabis plant. When the leaves of the Cannabis plant are dried, it is then rolled into a cigarette, a pipe, a hookah, bong or a vaporizer and smoked. Out of all the illegal drugs, marijuana is the most commonly used.

Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation is breaking ground on a new veteran’s center and increasing dog holding facilities that will allow more vets to be paired with a rescued service dog.
The facility, to be built at ARF’s headquarters at 2890 Mitchell Dr., Walnut Creek, will serve as the first shelter-based national headquarters for a pets and vets training center, and will allow shelters from around the country to take advantage of ARF’s expertise to create their own programs.
The $18.7 million, 23,800-square-foot expansion includes almost 14,000 square feet for the new “Pets and Vets Center,” as well as a special clinic entry for veterans, and a kennel that will add 30 dog runs to ARF’s existing building and is expected to save 500 more dogs each year.
La Russa launched the Pets and Vets program seven years ago as a way to give back to veterans who have served our country. In the past few years, the program has expanded to include the pairing of vets with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with rescue dogs that the vets then train to be their service dogs.
It is a unique program that provides both the dogs and the training to vets at no cost to them.
Since the program launched, vets have shared training space with other activities going on at ARF, which is not ideal, ARF executive director Elena Bicker. The vets often struggle in crowds and in areas that they can’t control, such as rooms with several exits and people coming and going. The new center will provide a private, secure space for participants in the program.
It also will provide important training spaces for the dogs, including an all-weather training field and simulated home and office settings, allowing the dogs to learn behaviors required service support animals.
Corporate donations and a pledge from the Engelstad Family Foundation has raised some of the necessary funds but the majority of gifts are from individuals. ARF is asking the community to put them over the finish line by raising the final $1 million. For every dollar donated now, the Engelstad Family Foundation will match it with $2.
ARF’s Pets and Vets program identifies rescued dogs with the suitable temperament and intelligence to be trained as service animals. The dogs are put through a series of tests, before they’re assigned to a vet and training begins. For vets who suffer with PTSD, a crippling and isolating condition that can make them afraid to leave their homes or interact with others, training the dog gives the vets a purpose and a reason to re-enter the world.
In addition to the new veterans’ center and dog runs, ARF will add solar panels to reduce its carbon footprint and save on energy costs. The plan also creates an endowment fund for building maintenance.
It’s been a long road for ARF, which opened in 1991 in a borrowed storefront in Concord’s Willows shopping center. The group moved several times more before raising enough money in 2003 to purchase land on Mitchell Road in Walnut Creek and build a 31,873-square foot shelter designed to hold 112 cats and 36 dogs.
The group’s central mission of rescuing pets and finding them homes has not changed, but ARF has taken on new roles and programs, and rescued more and more animals, outgrowing its building.
To donate, go to www.arflife.org/campaign. ARF also is looking for people to foster pets during the construction, which is expected to take 18 months. Find more information on fostering, as well as in-person and online training schedules, at arflife.org/foster.

Capital preservation is protecting yourself from losing money when you make a mistake. And you WILL make mistakes.
Basically, it ensures that no event, no matter how big or small, can put you out of business (so to speak). But it is NOT safe investing.
Digging yourself out of a hole is VERY hard (see my page on compound interest). Capital preservation helps you avoid digging one in the first place. That is why it is the first step on your way to better investing.
Capital is money that you use to purchase assets or new "stuff". From a personal finance perspective, think of it as your profit; the hard earned money you have after paying all the bills. Capital is your ability to buy new things.
Preservation is the act of protecting something from loss.
So a capital preservation is the act of protecting your ability to buy new things.
Throughout the site, I describe using portfolio sizing and position sizing; these are ways to minimize the amount of money you risk with each trade. The topic is popular during periods of uncertainty (either in the financial markets or global economies). But minimizing risk is something you do for every investment and/or trade, regardless of what the talking heads are saying.
You may have noticed that capital preservation is the first of three steps to better investing.
The reason this is the first step is simple. You need to have the ability to buy assets if you're going to invest. If you don't have any money, you can't buy any stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, etc.
If you live from paycheck to paycheck, you have no money to invest.
If you have no money to invest, you can't generate income or grow your accounts by investing.
Investing one of the only ways to have a chance at "retirement" in the traditional sense.
If you don't save and invest for retirement, you'll quickly lose the ability to buy things once you stop working.
As soon as retirement planning moved away from defined benefit pension plans (employer sponsored) to defined contribution plans (employee sponsored), the burden of preparing for retirement shifted from employers to employees.
Where to use Capital Preservation?
You need to use it in all your accounts.
Keep in mind that some investment brokers and banks will impose maintenance fees if you do not maintain a minimum balance. This helps them offset the low commissions they charge.
I once had an account that charged $25 if my balance fell below a certain threshold! That's $300 per year! Needless to say, I preserved my capital by moving it elsewhere.
How to use Capital Preservation?
As mentioned in the better investing page, avoiding losses at all costs is at the core of safe investing.
Losses can come in the form of day to day expenses, commissions, fees, taxes, interest payments, inflation, deflation, bid/ask spreads, getting fired, accidents; the list goes on and on. | 2019-04-26T10:22:58 | https://www.invest-safely.com/capital-preservation.html |

Typically, my Dear You Guys letter is composed of a selection of comments that you guys have left on my blog during the last week. This week, though, Julie from DUTCHbeingME and I traded comments, so this is actually a Dear You Guys letter from her readers. She did the same for my comments on her blog!
PS–if you don’t know Julie, you’ve got to pay her a visit. I met her at BloggyBootCamp in Philly last month and we totally hit it off. Love her!
So… I kind of fell off the blogging planet for awhile there, so you may have forgotten I existed. But I didn’t forget that YOU existed. YEP YEP YEP! Live your life! It’s awesome anyway, just wish I could see your face.
Oh my goodness! I love this story!! Seriously love it. It’s going to be a hit, I just know it! It’s like the perfect Dear You Guys variation!! You have peaked my interest….So with all of the practice I’ve had the last 14 years of being a mom (duh Tracie, that is where we met!) ….why am I not perfect at it yet?? Nothing fab but still cute and funny. Ha!
And don’t worry on the vaccuming…I’m a fail too. That makes us normal. This might have choked me up a bit… maybe. There is no reason to not do that! I vacuum once a week…i used to vacuum every day when my sister and her dogs lived with us. The hair was crazy!! It sounds like it’s something you’d recommend though.
Hang on…Liz thinks someone tweets more than her? Unlikely. I couldn’t get my act together this week. I already know I’m crazy, but putting it in screen shots, well…Too much hospital time! Sometimes my craziest thoughts are on twitter and then I forget all about it. My mind is working… Sometimes I write a tweet and then think “I loved that one – so sad it’ll be gone soon!” Grrrrrr….
PS–The winner of the Nature’s Notebook custom print giveaway is Julie L (aunteegem). Congrats to Julie (this is not the same Julie from above!) and thanks to all who entered!
That is SO much fun! :) I love how you changed things up so much! I really have to work on my creativity with this! Ack!
I LOVE that you guys swapped blogs, and I REALLY love that #OutTweetTheTwit has made it’s way into this post!
It HAD to make the letter, didn’t it?
I love that we have such a fun little circle going with this meme. Thanks again for hosting! | 2019-04-24T04:48:07 | https://foodfunfamily.com/dear-you-guys-a-guest-post/ |

Finally, a stainless steel version of the license plate bracket that was originally used on Airstreams in 1969 and later. Other versions of this bracket--like the Truck-Lite or Signal Stat brand--are chrome plated and much more likely to rust. We developed our own polished 304 stainless steel version in response to this longstanding issue.
Some other brands, like Yellowstone, started using this style in the early 1960s. It is similar to--and the best replacement for--the Yankee 331/332 and the Hollywood Accessories Model 42 from the early 1950s.
Please note that the photograph shows the license plate bracket installed properly in the assembly for Airstreams and most other vintage trailers. The slots for the license plate fasteners should be offset from the trailer body to allow clearance for the heads of the bolts you are using to affix the plate to the bracket.
Some other applications call for the light to be installed using two rubber standoffs from the vehicle. Those black standoffs are included. When standoffs are used, the bracket can be installed in the opposite orientation.
Uses a #67 bulb (included).
This license plate assembly is slightly larger than the version we sell for 1968 and earlier trailers.
Stainless light portion is 6 inches long, 2 inches wide (at widest point) and sticks out 2 inches from bracket.
License bracket is 10.75 inches long. Hole spacing is 4-7/8" between two screw holes.
Stainless components include: polished cover, backplate, screws and plate bracket. Some unseen parts are zinc plated steel. | 2019-04-21T22:38:45 | https://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/Large-License-Light-Stainless-p/vts-145s.htm |

The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) has recently added extensive new content addressing the use of Veteran’s Administration (VA) health services. This new content will allow us to examine a wide range of determinants of such use, and racial differences in the impact of these determinants, including economic and attitudinal factors. This project’s research questions will include: Is there a racial difference in the use of VA health services? What economic, health, social, or attitudinal factors influence each use? Do these factors explain the racial differences observed? | 2019-04-26T16:34:47 | https://mrdrc.isr.umich.edu/projects/racial-differences-in-the-use-of-va-health-services/ |
A disputed congressional seat in North Carolina could remain vacant for months after incoming Democratic House leaders in Washington on Friday declared they would not seat the apparent Republican winner because of unresolved allegations of election fraud in that race.
Even before Democrats made that fresh vow on Friday afternoon, the chaotic fight for the Ninth District’s House seat had already plunged into deeper turmoil: North Carolina’s state elections board dissolved at noon on Friday under a court order, two weeks before it was to hold a public hearing to consider evidence of the fraud allegations.
“We have entered no man’s land,” said J. Michael Bitzer, a professor of politics and history at Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.
Friday’s political drama came more than seven weeks after Mark Harris, the Republican nominee for Congress in the Ninth District, seemed to defeat Dan McCready, the Democratic candidate, by 905 votes in November. But Mr. Harris’s apparent victory was soon overshadowed by allegations that a contractor for his campaign engaged in illegal activity to compromise the election. According to witnesses and affidavits, the contractor, L. McCrae Dowless Jr., and people working for him collected absentee ballots in violation of state law.
The accusations led the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement to refuse to certify Mr. Harris as the winner and to open an investigation that has so far involved more than 100 interviews and at least 182,000 pages of records. It also gave Democrats a powerful argument to keep Mr. Harris out of office, at least for now — a pledge they made unequivocally on Friday — under the House’s constitutional authority to be “the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members.” Democrats had been signaling such a plan for weeks.
But the direction of North Carolina’s investigation into the allegations faced new obstacles on Friday as the elections board dissolved, a court-ordered consequence of a long-running battle over partisan power in North Carolina that was separate from the election fraud investigation. Even with the demise of the board, state officials said the inquiry would continue at the staff level, even if a board was not yet in place to consider evidence and reach conclusions.
“The staff will continue to investigate the Ninth District irregularities and perform all other elections-related functions,” said Patrick Gannon, a spokesman for the embattled panel.
The state board issued a new round of subpoenas in the hours before its dissolution. And in a letter on Friday, Joshua D. Malcolm, the Democrat who was chairman of the elections board, complained that Mr. Harris’s campaign had not been sufficiently responsive to a subpoena that was served weeks ago.
Mr. Malcolm said investigators had received 398 pages of campaign records — and believed there were about 140,000 other documents that could be of value to investigators but had not been made available.
“You are hereby requested to fully comply with the board’s subpoena so as to not further impact the agency’s ability to resolve the investigation,” Mr. Malcolm wrote in his letter to Mr. Harris’s campaign.
Mr. Harris has denied wrongdoing but acknowledged this month that he had directed the hiring of Mr. Dowless, a political operative from Bladen County who had previously been scrutinized by the authorities for possible election tampering. No one, including Mr. Dowless, has been charged in connection with this year’s allegations, and Mr. Dowless, who has declined to comment, rejected a request to meet with state investigators.
But plans for the January hearing, and the fate of the board, eventually ran headlong into a case that dealt with the constitutionality of the elections board’s design. On Thursday night, in a decision that stunned North Carolina Democrats and Republicans alike, a three-judge panel angrily rejected a bipartisan request to extend the life of the board temporarily.
The ruling left the board with less than 24 hours to exist, and plans for the Jan. 11 hearing uncertain. Some state officials said on Friday that the structure of recent legislation setting up the future elections board meant it could not begin operations until Jan. 31.
Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, said Friday that he intended to name an interim board that would serve until the new law took effect. It was not immediately clear how quickly Mr. Cooper would act, but Republicans said that they would challenge such a move and would consider a boycott of the board.
The board, which said it received the motion at 10:15 a.m., took no action before its dissolution at noon.
But Mr. Malcolm, in his final minutes as elections board chairman, suggested the state would not hasten its inquiry. | 2019-04-25T15:46:52 | https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/us/politics/north-carolina-house-race-fraud.html?partner=rss |

Elisha is the gas in our tank at 36. Her days find her constantly switching hats, from tying-up loose ends across departments to writing proposals and making sure the office is fully stocked with all the essentials to keep us going. As a natural cook and incredible singer, she brings a multitude of talents to 36 that extend well beyond being the best executive assistant an agency could ask for.
When she’s not helping everyone at 36 reach their many goals or running quality assurance for the development team, Elisha is probably either hosting friends at her lake house or getting on a plane to travel with her boyfriend. | 2019-04-20T03:03:52 | https://36creative.com/people/elisha-farris |
AN OVERGROWN patch of public land has been given a modern makeover.
Pinfold Open Space (between Shambles Street and Westgate) now has a small seating area, newly planted shrubs and improved steps.
The site is named after the pinfolds of medieval times, found mostly in the North and East and built to hold animals which had been found straying.
The damaged Hidden Barnsley plaque, one of seven located around the town centre at sites of historic interest has been replaced.
Funding for the project came from City Region Growth Point cash. | 2019-04-19T06:58:14 | https://www.wearebarnsley.com/news/article/389/pinfold-space-gets-modern-makeover |
Traditionally, when you access a website/app/online service which requires you to "log in", all you need to provide is your username (or email address) and a password in order to authenticate your access.
Unfortunately, many people use the same credentials (username/password) over and over again for multiple websites/apps/online services. This means that if one of those services gets "hacked" and has a data breach and user's credentials are exposed, an attacker could potentially then access all other websites/apps/online services the user uses.
Two-factor authentication combats this, by employing a secondary means of authentication in addition to the traditional username/password combination in order to authenticate your access to the website/app/online service when you login. This means that even if your username/password were compromised, an attacker couldn't then use these on their own to gain access to your account.
An administrator can enabled/disable Two-Factor Authentication via MIDAS Admin Options → Manage MIDAS → Security.
Your MIDAS system will first need to be correctly configured to send email. You may find these settings via MIDAS Admin Options → Manage MIDAS → Email. It is strongly recommended that whenever making changes to the email settings within the software that you then send a "test" email from the system to yourself to ensure you're able to receive email from the system BEFORE enabling Two-Factor Authentication.
IMPORTANT: If you enable Two-Factor Authentication for your MIDAS system yet the software has not been correctly configured to send email, users will not be able to receive Authorization Codes via email and will be unable to login.
Simply enter the Authorization Code provided in the email in the space provided and click "Login". If the code is valid, the login process will complete and you will be successfully logged in.
For Two-Factor Authentication in MIDAS to be an effective layer of additional security, you should ensure that the password you use to login to MIDAS is never the same as the password you use to access your own email account inbox. If these two passwords are currently the same, we strongly advise changing one or both.
You can change your MIDAS password at any time, once logged in, via the "Change Password" link near the top of the screen. | 2019-04-21T18:13:54 | https://mid.as/kb/article/00141 |

It's in the same class as our 2014 Kia Optima SX-T, and they share a lot of similarities - very smooth ride, attractive interior and body lines, great fuel mileage (the Mazda6 gets better mileage than the Kia), and plenty of passing power out of a 4 cylinder, though the Mazda6 is naturally aspirated and the Optima is turbocharged. I can't say which I enjoy driving more, both are a lot of fun and seem to be well put together.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Gray Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (5 reviews) This is a great looking car. I get compliments all the time. Interior is well designed plenty of space. Does not have a lot of storage inside and it is a bit loud on the road but I was aware of that before buying. Mazda is not the quietest car out there but it's not too bad. Having a car that you can't get tired of looking at is the best part. Car has been reliable as well no problems I'm at 54k.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Blue Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) This car is worth the money. It handles well, holds a lot of cargo, and is stylish. I would not recommend this car if you want to put child seats in the back, or if you are a wide-bodied person. The front seats are slightly narrow, and the back seats are a little crammed for anyone over 6 feet. I am not going to say that it is the best car in the world. However, it does all things pretty well. If you're in the market for a reasonable priced mid-size sedan with all the creature comforts and reliability of a Japanese Car, then look no farther. It won't disappoint you.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Silver Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.714 reviews) Very sporty looking midsize for those of us who don't want to drive the typical family four-door. Rides very smooth and engine power is more than adequate for day to day driving. I was surprised at how well the car maneuvers and corners considering it's footprint (this is a long car to park). Fuel economy on the highway is spot on and this car is made to cruise with four full size adults in it. Fuel economy in the city suffers the more you have to run through the gears in city traffic. Not bad by any means but expect closer to 21-22 mpg in the city not the advertised 25/26. My only real complaint with the car are the 19" tires. The tires Mazda puts on this car do not last long and expect to take a huge hit in the wallet to replace.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Blue Interior Color: Tan Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) I bought this as my first family car (previously had a mustang) and couldn't love it more! It's a great family car that still has the sporty look. With tons of room for all passengers! All the technology works great and makes me feel like I'm in a luxury car. I don't regret buying my Mazda for one second!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Black Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (5 reviews) There is a very good amount of space throughout the car, without feeling like a canned sardine. The car drives very smoothly and you hardly notice any potholes you may encounter. Because of how smooth it drives and also, for how comforting it is to feel extremely safe are two of the biggest things my girlfriend loves about this vehicle. Grant it, she loves that the passenger seat reclines all the way back, but she has said that when we do have kids, she would love to get a Mazda SUV instead of becoming a mom with a minivan or a mom with a truck that may lack room. The technology throughout the vehicle is also amazing. It is definitely a huge upgrade from the last car I have had!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Brown Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) I absolutely love my 2006 Mazda 6 S. It's the first car I have ever owned, and I've driven a lot of cars in my lifetime. Believe me when I say you definitely need to consider the Mazda6 if you're looking for a car that can tow friends and familiy in comfort and style at a pace befitting of a semi-sports car. I keep up to date with Mazda and their work and I can personally tell you that they build quality cars that last a long time. The only problem that I ever had with my Mazda is that the flexi pipe was torn to shreds when I bought it. (I knew this after inspecting the car, it was a rental/fleet car so you know the people who drove it didn't take care of it). Regardless, the car still works perfectly even after 100,000 miles.
Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Gray Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) this car is a pleasure to own. Add to to that the price and gas milage. Interior materials are somewhat cheap feeling after getting to know the vehicle but I still have to say Mazda really made a awesome car. It's comfortable on cross-country trips and great in traffic. Good handling and acceleration. Definitely get this car with a stick! The gears are in great ratio for making the motor responsive. It feels like a sports car most of the time and the styling helps it give an air of sedan or whatever that means. It's a good car, I get compliments often. I'm happy with my purchase. I've also heard Mazda is know for making durable vehicles past 100k miles so we shall see!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Blue Interior Color: White Average Vehicle Review: (4.571 reviews) I can only speak to the Mazda6i manual (mine happens to be the 5-door hatchback). The handling is excellent, but off the line and overall acceleration is in the compact car class range with the 2.3L (specifically 8.7sec 0-60 on mine). Ok, so the main thing I needed to tell people as an owner is this. Again, I can only speak for the manual, but this car is not for freeway use!!! The 4-cylinder (manual) is rather fuel efficient around town, and on the highway up to about 60MPH, but the gearing on this car doesn't make much sense to me. At freeway speeds (75-80 where I live), the engine is racing in top gear at 3800+ RPM. Yes, this is below red-line, but I can't believe it is good for the engine when run for hours at a time. It also degrades the fuel economy to 28MPG, though the car will get 32MPG in the lower 60MPH range I mentioned. I don't know why Mazda built the car this way (might have something to do with the paltry 153 ft-lbs of torque), but had I known I would not have bought it. I have a virtually brand new car in my driveway, and would fear taking it on road trips if not for the warranty. So the gearing negates the fuel efficiency of the 4-cylinder (in the manual, at least) if you drive much on the freeway, so get the V6.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Black Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.571 reviews) this is a wonderful vehicle that combines an attractive style, the versatility of a wagon but without the boring look of the traditional wagon. and it has outstanding handling for a family vehicle.
Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: White Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) I bought this car right before Christmas in 2009 and i must say other than the price of parts the car is absolutely amazing. I actually got into a severe accident due to a person runing a red light last October and to this day I believe this car saved my life with it's sophisticated protection equipment.
Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Black Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) Overall, I am pleased with the car I selected. I have always liked Mazda's and it's been a few years since owning one. I am glad to be a Mazda owner once again.
Transmission: Automatic Color:White Interior Color: Tan Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) Great, sporty car for the money. Would prefer if it got better gas mileage but other than that, it's a great car!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Black Interior Color: Tan Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) I rented a Masda 6 to drive from Arizona home to California. I had a Volvo 80, which i sold and bought a 2007 masda 6 because I feel in love with that car! so far great car 27 mpg around town I got 36 on a long trip using the cruize control. I love my zoom zoom! the trunk is huge and I don't have to buy the expensive tires my Vovlo requried. I would buy it again!
Transmission: Automatic Color:Blue Interior Color: Average Vehicle Review: (4.833 reviews) Have always loved the luxurious features and extras I get in a Mazda. It's well-made and designed, fun and zippy to drive. Great on gas, reliable with a spacious-comfortable interior. My 1st Mazda was a 626 which I had for 11 years! My 2nd was a Millenia which was so beautiful and luxurious - too bad they stopped making them :( Now I drive the 6. Its more sporty than I hoped for but there's no denying the way it handles, the way it looks and the a/c was the cherry on top - it's rocks! I definitely find myself saying "zoom-zoom" while I'm driving.
Transmission: Automatic Color:Gray Interior Color: Tan Average Vehicle Review: (4.714 reviews) I bought my Mazda 6 a little over a month ago as an early birthday present to myself. I was looking for something that was affordable, reliable and easy to maintain (as I know close to nothing about cars). This car is all of the above. I love the sporty look of the car, it's roomy enough for me to take my nieces and nephews around comfortably and it has been fairly good on gas. My only issue with the car is that it does not have a MP3 AV input and I live and die by my IPOD, but that was not a major dealbreaker for me. All in all, I think I made a great purchase.
this is a wonderful vehicle that combines an attractive style, the versatility of a wagon but without the boring look of the traditional wagon. and it has outstanding handling for a family vehicle.
This car is worth the money. It handles well, holds a lot of cargo, and is stylish. I would not recommend this car if you want to put child seats in the back, or if you are a wide-bodied person.

Florida State’s Jessie Warren, who hit .520 in the World Series, was named most outstanding player. She went 3 for 4 with a homer on Tuesday.
Florida State got more in the second when Elizabeth Mason singled and two runs scored with help from an error in right field. Warren’s RBI single later in the inning pushed the Seminoles’ lead to 5-3. | 2019-04-23T00:58:02 | http://www.miningjournal.net/sports/2018/06/florida-state-takes-2-straight-games-from-washington-for-ncaa%E2%80%88softball-title/ |

Sophia Bush is furious that an obsessed fan managed to get her phone number through her co-worker.
The 35-year-old actress took to her Twitter account to rant about the alleged incident which took place on Saturday (13.10.18), where someone phoned one of her colleagues in a bid to get in touch with her late at night.
She fumed: "Dear Humans who manage to get phone numbers for my friends, my agents, my coworkers. Don't call them hunting me down. Especially not at 11pm on a Saturday night. It's f***ing rude. Period.
Getting my -- or a # you think is mine -- phone # isn't how we become friends. Back off. (sic)"
The 'One Tree Hill' star says that knowing people are violating her "privacy" causes her to have panic attacks and when her phone rings with a random number it makes her fear leaving the house.
She added: "What happens when my privacy or the privacy of the people closest to me is violated?" she asked. "I start having an anxiety attack. I don't feel safe going outside. Does that sound fun to you? It sure as hell isn't fun to me. Every noise in the house gets scary. Every random number on my phone feels like a threat. I literally don't give a sh*t what someone 'wants.' I don't belong to them. (sic)"
Sophia's 'One Tree Hill' co-star Hilarie Burton responded to her pal's tweet calling anyone who tries to contact her a "psycho" and invited her to come and stay on her farm.
She wrote: "If you're a real fan? You don't "hunt" someone you admire. That's psycho.
I'm sorry babe. Bring your friends and come hide on the farm. I got attack donkeys. (sic)"
Meanwhile, this summer Sophia said she has been looking for her future husband on the subway.
The brunette beauty admitted that she and her close pal have been scouting out the eligible bachelors that ride the metro in New York City, in the hopes of finding one who will get down on bended knee for them to ask for their hand in marriage.
The 'Incredibles 2' star said: "My best friend and I are book nerds and [have been] both deeply single for so long that every day this week we've been like 'Why are there so many hot guys on the subway reading?' Yesterday, literally, I'm looking at this guy who's like so beautiful and he's reading Zadie Smith and I'm like, 'Are you my husband?' It's like the grown-up version of [the children's book] 'Are You My Mother'. You're just like...'Is it you? Is it you? Who is it?'"
Sophia was previously married to her 'One Tree Hill' co-star Chad Michael Murray for just five months in 2005, before they split and later had their divorce finalised the following year.
The 'Chicago P.D.' actress recently admitted she felt pressured into marrying Chad, as she claims it isn't something she "wanted" to do.
When asked how long she had been dating Chad before they married, she said: "I don't even know. And it was not a thing I actually really wanted to do."
Sophia then claimed she went through with the marriage because she didn't want to "let everybody down". | 2019-04-21T09:17:38 | https://nz.news.yahoo.com/sophia-bush-apos-warning-fan-115644651.html |
97% of the people who have won a Nobel Prize in science in the last century are men: 18 women versus 572 male prizewinners in scientific fields. Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery about nuclear fission of his laboratory colleague Lise Meitner. Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first radio signal of a pulsar that allowed, among other things, the first indirect evidence of gravitational waves to be obtained. The director of her thesis, Antony Hewish, took the award. These are just a few examples of the gender bias that exists in science and technology. This problem is not innocuous or limited to a lack of recognition; its consequences are felt not only by those professionals who work in these fields, but also by society as a whole.
A study published in the journal PNAS in 2015 stated that there is a bias that causes female scientists to receive less funding than their male counterparts. Another study published in Science showed that the female presence is smaller in the fields where it is believed it is necessary to be brilliant, something that is associated less with women. These, and other, circumstances have led to only 25% of students enrolled in technical fields of study being women, a percentage that is further reduced when considering those who dedicate themselves professionally to these fields.
Already in a report from 2013, the European Commission warned of this troubling situation. In its study, the EC showed that the entry of more women into digital jobs would increase the GDP of the European Union by 9 billion euros. Among some of the solutions proposed was to empower women in the sector and facilitate their access to entrepreneurship programs.
For decades, only male mice have been used in tests and research studies, given the possibility that the hormonal fluctuations of females may distort the results. This has led to the creation of a gap between the proportion of women who are patients and the proportion of female animals that have been used for clinical trials. This has meant that much less is known about the diseases of women.
In addition, as men have been used for decades as the standard model for medicine, women have been misdiagnosed from pathologies for which they displayed different symptoms, such as heart disease. There have also been missed opportunities to learn more about exclusively female issues such as pregnancy, menstruation and menopause. In conclusion, the medical treatment received by women has been worse than that received by men for a long time.
“Doing bad research costs money and lives,” says Londa Schiebinger, director of Gendered Innovations, a project that seeks to explain and raise awareness about the impact of gender bias on research. Schiebinger points out that during 1997 and 2000, ten drugs were recalled in the United States for possible fatal health effects. “Eight of these posed greater risks to women’s health than to men’s health,” the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a statement.
Throughout history, women have also suffered major side effects from medications, ranging from cholesterol-lowering drugs to sedatives and tranquilizers. The cause, in many cases, is that the recommended doses had been established from clinical studies focused mostly on males of medium size, not taking into account that the average size of women is smaller, which can make the effects of the drugs stronger or longer lasting.
Another example of how gender bias affects the development of technologies and innovation are car safety belts. “In engineering, men are often considered the norm, and women (and the shortest men) are analysed a posteriori, often from the perspective of how far they deviate from the norm. As a result, many devices are adapted to women in a reactive way,” explains Gendered Innovations in its study.
Thus, the dummies that are used to study the impact of car accidents employ men as the model. The first was developed in 1949 by the American Air Force. This has meant, for example, that it took until 1996 for the creation of the first dummy for pregnant women designed to study the effect of high-speed impacts on the foetus, the uterus and the placenta. The result of this delay in research is that “conventional belts do not properly fit pregnant women and motor accidents are the main cause of death of the foetus related to trauma to the mother,” according to this project.
The incorporation of women into management positions in an organization has a positive impact on the investor’s earnings in the medium and long term. A European Commission report argues that organizations that are more inclusive with women in management “achieve 35% higher profitability and 34% more return for shareholders than other comparable companies.” These considerations are framed within something greater—the underutilization of the female labour force is a powerful economic burden.
The International Monetary Fund contends that the effective incorporation of female talent into the increasingly technological labour market would bring 5% growth for the United States, 9% for Japan, 12% for the United Arab Emirates and reach 34% in countries like Egypt. | 2019-04-25T20:34:33 | https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/humanities/sociology/technology-would-be-better-if-it-involved-more-women/ |

2016 has been a fantastic year, here is a cross section of the past year. These stills are from Scotland and the Balkans.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital city Sarajevo with fusion at its core, this city boast a real variety of religion and of culture. This has been known for its long and rich history over the years, from WW1 to hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics and latterly at the centre of a civil war. The city still carries the scars of this conflict, both within the walls and the hearts of the people who lived through it. Sarajevo is now rebuilding its identity and forming into something new, some beautiful.
The isle of Vis, is as far as you can get from mainland Croatia. There are two main towns, Vis and Komiza, on this island known for its fishing community as well as vineyards. The myriad of little streets of these towns, hold the history or the land. This relativity unspoilt Mediterranean isle has seen many much in its past. It spent many years as a Yugoslavian military base, where foreign visitors were not allowed until 1989. Many of its in habitants have long family ties with the island, going back generations.
Above the shores of Loch Tay, sitting within the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve lies a Hydro-Electric dam. This dam, alongside others in the same scheme, creates enough power supply about 65,500 homes.

It's Cyber Monday. It's also the first day back from a holiday break, which means instead of plowing through your to-do list, you might have found yourself slightly distracted by sales and discounts. After all, there are a lot of good deals right now, especially where the royals are concerned. Not only are Kate Middleton's favorite sneakers 30 percent off, but Meghan Markle's Aquazzura heels are also on sale (!!).
The "Casablanca" style cost $450 (originally they're $750) in the versatile black color. The Duchess of Sussex was first spotted in these designer pumps when she attended the Royal Foundation Forum in February 2018. In October, Meghan debuted the same heels from the brand, but in a beige color while on the royal tour. Clearly, this style is beloved by the Duchess if she already owns two pairs.
If you know about the "Meghan Effect," you know these heels won't be around forever. Sizes are starting to sell out, so before Cyber Monday officially ends, order yourself a pair. It's the fancy heel you'll wear to weddings, birthday dinners, and night out with the girls. Though if you're not completely ready to splurge on these pumps, Kate's $18 Superga sneakers are rather more affordable.
Meghan attended the first annual Royal Foundation Forum. She wore a Jason Wu dress with her black Aquazzura heels.
Meghan also owns the Aquazzura "Casablanca" heels in a beige color. She wore it while departing the Sydney Airport for New Zealand on October 28 during the royal tour. | 2019-04-20T21:22:40 | https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/a25307589/meghan-markle-aquazzura-heels-sale/ |
Between eight and nine o'clock that evening, Eppie and Silas were seated alone in the cottage. After the great excitement the weaver had undergone from the events of the afternoon, he had felt a longing for this quietude, and had even begged Mrs. Winthrop and Aaron, who had naturally lingered behind every one else, to leave him alone with his child. The excitement had not passed away: it had only reached that stage when the keenness of the susceptibility makes external stimulus intolerable—when there is no sense of weariness, but rather an intensity of inward life, under which sleep is an impossibility. Any one who has watched such moments in other men remembers the brightness of the eyes and the strange definiteness that comes over coarse features from that transient influence. It is as if a new fineness of ear for all spiritual voices had sent wonder-working vibrations through the heavy mortal frame—as if "beauty born of murmuring sound"d had passed into the face of the listener.
"But I know now, father," said Eppie. "If it hadn't been for you, they'd have taken me to the workhouse,h and there'd have been nobody to love me."
X [d] as if "beauty born of murmuring sound"
The parish-supported workhouse for paupers, who contributed to their upkeep by some sort of work. As soon as she was old enough, perhaps as young as five or six, Eppie would have been "hired" by a farmer to work in the fields or as a domestic.

Wrapping up another month in the forex industry, we take a look at the major events that took place in October. Changing things up a bit in this column versus previous renditions, this time around we’ll focus on a few headlines and analyze their importance (you can call this my October thoughts on the industry). But, before we do this we will discuss a key general trend.
Without a doubt, the most important trend taking place in the forex market is a return of volatility and volumes. Beginning in September, volumes have rebounded from what had been an altogether weak 2014. When reporting volumes for our Q3 Forex Industry Report, our estimates for the June to August period of the retail sector were the lowest three month periods in two years. Specifically, Japan had hit a wall with many brokers experiencing 6 month consecutive declines in volumes through August. But, we all know that changed in September.
During October, every broker or trading venue issued stellar month-over-month growth for September. Early figures reveal that October forex trading remained active, but overall numbers are expected to be flat or slightly below September’s figure. What is worth noting is that unlike the year plus long period of August 2013 to August 2014, for the first time in a while, the forex market is witnessing follow through activity. Meaning that unlike in the dry spell where a broker’s month was being swung by one or two events, only to see trading fizzle immediately, high impact days are being followed by continued volumes and volatility. The trading action reveals a return of speculation among traders to the asset class which bodes well for the rest of the year.
We all know that a rising tide floats all boats. Among the boats moving higher is ICAP’s eFX platform EBS. In October, ICAP reported average daily volumes (ADV) on EBS above $100B for the first time since June 2013, as they totaled $117.9Bln. The figures reveal a strong rebound from the multi-year low of $68.5Bln traded this past April (see chart below). So is the EBS rebound here to stay, and is their mix of providing both an ECN (EBS Market) and relationship-based liquidity (EBS Direct) on one platform a winning formula?
While providing optimism, we aren’t convinced that EBS volumes are slated to experience continued growth. Despite recent talk from ICAP Executives about the uptake for EBS Direct, this isn’t the first time they’ve been bullish on their products. In 2013, similar optimism was noted about the strengths of their ECN after they had applied new dealing changes, including among items a widening of spreads, but deeper liquidity per tick.
However, despite a proactive attempt by senior EBS staff headed by their CEO Gil Mandelzis to explain the benefits of their offering to old and existing customers and banks around the world, 2013 and 2014’s results proved that their message had mostly gone unheard. For the most part, EBS has remained a last resort venue, as known by its users, where available liquidity could be found during periods of increased volatility. That reputation continued to hold as September’s strength coincided with EBS’s two most traded currencies, the euro and yen, experiencing a spike in volatility.
While intriguing with its combination of EBS Markets and EBS Direct, their offering isn’t unique, with many aggregation products existing in the market. In addition, as technology costs have declined, advantages to accessing the interbank FX market using ECNs have diminished. As a result, before willing to declare that EBS has finally broken out of its multi-year decline, we are awaiting to see how the platform performs during a quieter period, and whether customers will shun the product for lower spread alternatives.
Just barely making it into October was Friday’s announcement that GAIN Capital was acquiring City Index for $118Mln. The two firms have a past history as GAIN purchased US accounts from City Index when its subsidiary brand, FX Solutions, exited from the country. The terms of the deal were similar to those of GAIN’s acquisition of GFT which was a combination of cash, convertible notes and stock.
Following a 21% spike higher in GAIN Capital shares, the deal is currently valued at $125Mln, or 12X City Index’s trailing twelve month EBITDA for the period ending September 3oth, 2014. Compared to City’s last filing available to the public for the period ending March 31, 2013, the broker was able to increase customer deposits by 27% to $344Mln over the past year and a half. However, profitability continued to be a problem with the broker despite rising revenues in 2014. As a result, for GAIN Capital, the deal really rests on performing cost reduction synergies to boost margins from City Index’s flow.
A slight loss in the acquisition terms was GAIN’s early release of their Q3 figures which showed record revenues of $102.8Mln and net income of $14.7Mln. The figures compare to $69.7Mln in Q2. While Q2 was a depressed period of trading in the forex market, Q3 started off even worse. However, the 47% increase in revenues show just how profitable market-making can be for brokers when volatility returns, even if it was only for one month, as was in September. As such, the potential of this deal will probably ride more in terms of whether September’s trading activity isn’t an anomaly.
Returning back to the deal, it’s worth noting that the offer wasn’t made by FXCM which has been very public about it being in talks with several parties, and we can assume had been in discussions with City as well. Yes, GAIN and City do have a past of working together, but why GAIN as acquirer makes more sense than FXCM is due to the vast majority of City Index customers trading on proprietary technology. City did announce two weeks ago that it was integrating its recent MT4 logins with its proprietary Advantage platform. That news makes more sense now as it has foreshadowed the broker’s efforts to unify its customers.
In regards to FXCM, the broker has shown interest in companies offering generic platforms as of late, with it providing easier integration to their servers. Recent examples are their purchase of US accounts of IBFX, Alpari and FXDD which were primarily MetaTrader 4 users. As such, we could be entering a period where despite the advantages of a broker operating their own proprietary platform, valuation-wise the benefit is minimal if any.
Speaking about valuations, October has created a new list of bitcoin millionaires. No, I am not talking about people who unlocked their old USB drives to find their old stash of bitcoins, but company founders.
During October, a record of nearly $80Mln in funding reached the sector, predominately by venture capital funds. The funding was allocated to companies across the board including bitcoin exchanges, wallet companies, hardware providers and payment processing companies. The funding all occurred despite bitcoin prices being well below their 2014 highs and trading most of the month bouncing between $300-$350.
So why should we care? The jury is still out on whether any of these firms will provide value to their investors. However, what is worth taking note of is that these deals are funding the future infrastructure of an ‘all things digital’ world of finance. The dot com bubble of the late 1990’s brought all sorts of busts like Webvan, TheGlobe.com, and Pets.com, but emerging from it were Amazon, Ebay, Google and others which have changed the way we shop and use the internet.
As such, a similar trend appears to be taking place where we may not be feeling the changes to the financial industry being impacted by bitcoins and other digital currencies now, but in ten years, we can look back to all the seeds that were planted this year and how they have emerged to become key ingredients of how currencies are used.
Ron, when you say “City”, I’m guessing you mean Citi, right?
Ah, too many cities.. I was reading another article on broker profitability and got this one mixed up. My bad. | 2019-04-24T18:23:19 | https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/october-forex-industry-review-gain-capital-hunts-ebs-rebound-bitcoin-millionaires/ |
Jubilant FoodWorks today reported over two-fold increase in standalone net profit at Rs 48.47 crore for the second quarter ended September 30, helped by increase in same store sales growth of Domino's Pizza.
Same store growth refers to the year-over-year growth in sales for restaurants in operation for 2 years.
The company, which operates Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts chains in India, had reported a net profit of Rs 21.56 crore in the same period of previous fiscal.
Its total income was up 9.02 per cent to Rs 730.28 crore during the quarter under review as against Rs 669.82 crore in the year-ago period, the company said in a BSE filing.
The company said growth was driven by a strong 5.5 per cent same store growth (SSG) in Domino's Pizza and disciplined cost management.
"A combination of mid-single digit same store sales growth and disciplined cost management led to another solid performance in second quarter of this financial year. We made good progress towards our goals during the quarter in both Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts," JFL Chairman Shyam S Bhartia and Co Chairman Hari S Bhartia said in a statement.
Total expenses during the period stood at Rs 657.01 crore compared to Rs 637.87 crore in the July-September quarter previous fiscal.
At present, the company operates 1,126 Domino's Pizza and 50 Dunkin' Donuts outlets.
During the September quarter, while the company opened one new Domino's Pizza outlet and shut another, it closed five Dunkin' Donuts outlet and opened two.
Shares of JFL were trading at Rs 1,640 per scrip, up 2.28 per cent on BSE. | 2019-04-20T14:53:41 | https://brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/business-of-brands/jubilant-foodworks-q2-net-profit-surges-twofold-to-rs-48-47-crore/61255269 |

No Strings Attached is a quirky little chick flick that falls a little flat sometimes, but like its lead actor Ashton Kutcher, has a mostly good heart that ultimately is a winner.
The movie's plot seems to be drawn somewhat from Kutcher's own life. When he was a student at the University of Iowa, he woke up many times not knowing what he had done the night before.
It's a little raunchy and sometimes tries too hard to be quirky, but Kutcher and Natalie Portman have nice chemistry. So while supporting players like Kevin Kline see their talent a little wasted, the fact that we always get to come back to the leads is comforting. Good soundtrack too, including Bishop Allen, Elvis, and Color Me Badd. | 2019-04-19T22:42:08 | http://www.popculturelunchbox.com/2011/02/no-strings-attached-gets-ashton-kutcher.html |

Que celui de RootsTech 2019 !
Vous allez me dire que c’est quelque chose dont je parle chaque année mais c’est tellement vrai ! Il y en a pour tous les goûts : des néophytes aux grands spécialistes, il y a des conférences sur des sujets tellement variés et surtout, chose qui manque cruellement en Europe, ou du moins qui n’est pas assez présente : la réflexion sur la pratique elle-même, sur la déontologie, sur les maniéres de faire, les « do/don’t » etc.
C’est sûr, le programme du plus grand salon de généalogie au monde est tellement riche et varié qu’on ne peut y rester insensible. Il y a de quoi satisfaire les débutants, voire les personnes qui ignorent totalement ce qu’est la généalogie et ses multiples pratiques.
Je suis spécialement tentée par tout ce qui est touche à la réflexion sur les méthodes de recherche et spécialement le digital, et le numérique, les exploitations de Google, Youtube, la vidéo : en bref, la généalogie du futur….qui sera d’ailleurs peut-être complétement différente de comment on l’imagine. Il y a 200 ou 300 ans, nos ancêtres ne nous aurait pas imaginé à converser en ligne avec des intervenants du monde, ni même du reste à entreprendre un voyage pour les beaux yeux de la pratique !
Comme d’habitude, j’essaye également de profiter de mon séjour la-bas pour apprendre quelque chose de tout à fait nouveau : cette année, je vais suivre une leçon de généalogie….japonaise!
Et surtout, surtout,je suis impatiente de vous montrer ce grand évenement, d’être votre envoyée spéciale sur place et de vous offrir les nouvelles les plus fraîches du monde généalogique !

With more than 30,000 people expected to make the trek to Salt Lake City and the Salt Palace Convention Center, RootsTech has quickly become one of the largest and most recognizable genealogy conferences in the world.
We’re excited to announce that the world-famous a cappella group the Edge Effect will be performing at RootsTech 2019 during the opening event. The event will take place on the main stage on Wednesday, February 27, directly following a keynote address by Steve Rockwood, CEO of FamilySearch International. The Edge Effect, which travels the world performing covers and original pieces, is sure to excite and entertain RootsTech attendees. The group’s music covers a wide variety of styles. They’ll also be sharing their family heritage stories during their performance.
You can hear some of their music on their website or on their YouTube channel.
We’re thrilled to announce that Jason Hewlett will be returning to the RootsTech stage as host and emcee for the third time. Hewlett, the multitalented speaker, entertainer, comedian, and impressionist, will bring his family-friendly antics to the stage to entertain RootsTech attendees during the daily general sessions.
Located a block north of the Salt Palace Convention Center, the Family History Library offers a host of records, genealogical publications, documents, and research guides from more than 100 countries. Bring your unsolvable genealogy dilemmas, and spend some time with experienced genealogists who are willing to help you find that missing ancestor.
For the third year at RootsTech, we’ll have certified genealogists on hand to help you find answers to your toughest questions! Located in the RootsTech Expo Hall, the Coaches’ Corner will be a place where you can spend some time researching and collaborating with professionals trained to help you break through brick walls. This type of one-on-one expert help is something you won’t want to miss.
On Wednesday, free box lunches on large food carts throughout the main concourse will be offered during the lunch hour while the Expo Hall and food areas are under construction. Please feel free to help yourself to a lunch and enjoy some networking time with friends and colleagues. Seating will be available in the main stage area. If you choose not to take a boxed lunch, you can enjoy a number of restaurants within walking distance of the Salt Palace.

RootsTech c’est bien plus qu’un salon de généalogie,des cours, des conférences et des ateliers !
C’est une véritable expérience de vie !
Un endroit où se faire des contacts et qui sait ? se trouver des cousins et également des amis pour la vie qui ont la même passion que vous, qui comprennent ce dont vous parler quand vous évoquez cet ancêtre qui vous échappe ou cette collection d’archives dont vous aimeriez la numérisation !
Un lieu d’échange, de réflexion, de partages autour de belles valeurs. Un lieu pour apprendre de sujets moins maitrisés ou nouveaux. Un lieu pour se rappeler de principes élémentaires et d’éthique. Mais qu’ il est bon que ce lieu existe et rassemble, une fois l’an, la grande communauté des généalogistes !
Bien sûr, les sociétés commerciales sont là, qui présentent leurs produits mais c’est aussi le meilleur moment pour s’intéresser à leurs catalogues, à comprendre leur fonctionnement et à poser toute les questions qui vous traversent l’esprit !
C’est aussi le moment idéal pour promouvoir les entreprises européennes comme Geneanet , Famicity, Filae et Heredis !
Geneanet à RootsTech 2018 !
Un enrichissement de connaissances, de ma passion, de mon métier. Une meilleure connaissance de ce qui se fait dans le monde mais aussi un vrai plus personnel !
C’est une parenthèse qui fait réfléchir, grandir et avancer.
Et un petit paradis que je ne manquerais pour rien au monde !
En espérant vous voir nombreux dans cet évenement hors du commun ! | 2019-04-20T12:39:49 | https://histoires-de-familles.org/tag/salt-lake-city/ |

‘Dogs Today Magazine’ in the United Kingdom proclaimed our photographer Alex Cearns to be “one of the greatest dog photographers in the world”. That she is, and so much more. Of all the ways we humans connect, some of the strongest bonds for many of us are the bonds we create with our animal friends.
Alex intuitively understands what makes her animal subjects tick. With the magic of her camera, she has the uncanny ability to see into their souls and capture their visual language. By telling her eloquent photographic stories, Alex lovingly shows that the separation between us and our animal friends is very slim. She reminds us to enjoy, rejoice and empathise with every beloved pet and extraordinary sentient being that shares our precious planet.
What is it about Alex that gives her this unique ability? Perhaps the answer lies in her childhood. Alex grew up in the country surrounded by dogs, orphaned bottle-fed lambs, rescued joeys, rabbits and reptiles. Any creature in need of rehabilitation was welcome in Alex’s world, and offered a safe haven in her family’s kitchen. Animals became her best friends and she developed a magical way to communicate with them, something she carries through today.
Alex’s point of view is set squarely on the animal kingdom. She creates remarkable portraits of around 1300 animals each year – from dogs, cats, reptiles, rats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, horses, goats, sheep … to bilbies, penguins, possums, monkeys, bears, tigers and elephants.
provide excellence in everything she does as a professional photographer.
With ten years’ dedication to professional animal photography, she is an undisputed leader in her niche.
Alex has won more than 250 awards for photography, business and philanthropy. Her deep, long term commitment to philanthropy and her advocacy for animal rescue and wildlife conservation were distinguished with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Australia Day Honours List 2019 from the Council for the Order of Australia for her service to the community through charitable organisations. Her images have appeared in countless Australian and international media publications, on book covers, magazines and in advertising campaigns. They’ve been published in an Australia Post stamp collection, featured on sleepwear ranges by Peter Alexander Pajamas as part of an ongoing collaboration, and included in the ‘Best Dog Photographs in the World’ series by UK magazine Dog’s Today for more than 36 consecutive months.
Alex is deeply committed to the well being of all creatures great and small, and she is considered one of Australia’s most passionate champions and voices for animal rescue and wildlife conservation. Inspiring others with her joy of working with animals, Alex’s commitment includes partnering with, or providing sponsorship to, around 40 animal charity and conservation organisations.
Alex’s exquisite photography, active philanthropy and passionate advocacy for rescue and conservation have earned her high regard among animal lovers. Her social media influence includes a strong following on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
She is a Pro Team Ambassador for Tamron’s Super Performance Series Lenses in Australia and the United States, and Brand Ambassador for Profoto, BenQ, Spider Camera Holster and Seagate Technology.
A published author, Alex is currently signed to leading publisher ABC Books/Harper Collins Australia. Her hotly anticipated ‘Perfect Imperfection’ was released in March 2018. Please click here for information on how to order. Her book ‘Zen Dogs’, was published in October 2016 by Harper Collins New York. Her books ‘Mother Knows Best – Life Lessons from the Animal World’ and ‘Joy, A Celebration of the Animal Kingdom’ were both published in 2014 by Penguin Books Australia. In 2015 she collaborated as the photographer of ‘Things Your Dog Wants You to Know’ released by Penguin Books Australia.
Alex is an accomplished and inspirational public speaker. She uses warmth, humour and uplifting visual storytelling to engage her audience with her passions for photography, animal rescue and wildlife conservation. She is a popular guest speaker at photography events, conferences, expos, camera clubs, women’s groups and corporate functions. Not afraid to step out from behind the lens, she’s appeared on Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise and Today Tonight programs, on Channel 10’s Studio 10 and on news programs in WA, South Australia and Tasmania. Alex is a regular guest on the WA produced TV show ‘The Couch’ and has been interviewed on Mix 94.5’s Drive Show, 6PR, 96fm, Nova 93.7 and ABC Radio National. She also appeared in an episode of 60 Second Docs, which was viewed by over 6 million people.
Alex is the first female professional photography tour leader for global travel company World Expeditions. Her sell-out annual wildlife tours have taken her to some of the world’s most exciting animal destinations and she has ticked off all 7 continents on her travels.
When you come to Houndstooth Studio, you and your pet will receive the full benefit of Alex’s exceptional experience, her intuitive animal handling expertise and Houndstooth Studio’s full commitment to client satisfaction.

Having a mentor is important. Plato had Socrates; Daniel (the karate kid) had Mr. Miyagi; We all have Oprah. When you're looking for advice in life and in your career, sometimes you need guidance from someone who knows exactly what you're going through because they have been in your shoes.
This is particularly true for nurses, most of whom have to balance long hours at work with family time and achieving their professional goals. Our RN to BSN online program teaching staff, all practicing nurses, shared their advice on standing out in the work place, how to "have it all," and what it takes to make it in the nursing profession.
"Giving back through community volunteering looks good on a resume, but you also gain experience and make a difference. To be impactful as nurses, we need to go out into the community. It also gives you exposure to people that you don't normally see at the bedside."
"Nurses need to make themselves marketable through their education, becoming a member of organizations and volunteering, as well as having an up-to-date professional portfolio and references from professors and past employers."
"People have to realize that you have to set goals, short term and long term, and you have to make choices. You have to budget your time. It takes commitment and it takes real determination. But you also have to pace yourself."
"Develop a support team that includes family members, friends, or neighbors. Have family time that is planned; For example, block out Friday from 8-10 for family movie nights. Remind your family that you need time [to handle other obligations] in order to participate."
"Not everyone can be a caring nurse. There are some innate qualities you need to be effective."
"If you don't have it in your heart and you don't have compassion, you need to work somewhere else. In our profession it makes a big difference." | 2019-04-23T02:17:01 | https://madison.ashworthcollege.edu/blog/real-talk-advice-from-nurses-in-the-field/ |
Even the most open-minded, well-intentioned people can fall victim to making snap judgments that aren’t aligned with their core values and beliefs. And those quick decisions, although not intended, could prevent others from getting a fair shake.

Is your kids diet starving them to death?
MANY kids are literally starved for good nutrition!
I do not understand what parents are thinking. Today I spent the day with my nieces and nephews. Four kids ages 5 to 16 years old.
When I picked the kids up at 11 AM the Mom of 2 of them was getting ready for work and asking, telling, insisting that the kids have breakfast before we go.
First of all, breakfast happens when you get up, not 3 hours later.
Second, they were having Captain Crunch cereal for breakfast. That is it! No protein, no veggie, fruit, or whole grain. Just plain old sugar coated cereal, with milk.
This woman is a smart lady. She has a good job keeping the books, payroll and all of the finances of a thriving business.
I can not understand why she thinks that Captain Crunch is a healthy strong-body-building breakfast for young developing children.
No offense to the Captain or anything, but the stuff is nothing but sugar, enhanced by some man-made vitamins. Just give the kids a spoonful of sugar and a vitamin pill and they would probably be getting more nutrition.
OK, so we are off with…… Aunt Deb for a day of fun.
The weather is not perfect for the planned picnic at the park with a day of swimming and fun in the water, so we switched to plan B.
York County, Pa is the home of factory tours. So we headed to Harley Davidson for fun in the motorcycle plant.
She doesn’t usually drink water and an aspirin always works.
After further discussion I found out that she gets a headache almost every day.
I explained to her that we need to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day and that the first sign of vitamin deficiency is a headache. Long story short, after 2 glasses of water, the headache was gone!
I had a jug of water in the back of the car and we all enjoyed water the rest of the day and munched on celery sticks (they were in the back too) off and on for the rest of the ride.
I know that at first she thought here goes Aunt Deb again on that healthy stuff.
I also know now that she is sold on the water taking away the headache and will consider it an option in the future.
Of course, the headache could be caused by certain chemically laden foods, but I am glad the water worked!
Water is essential for all of our bodily functions, one of which is removing toxins from our body, so a chemically induced headache may respond favorably to water. Next time one of your kids gets a headache, give them a glass of water.
After Harley Davidson we wanted to eat.
I gave the kids a choice. Red Lobster, Chili’s (I had gift cards) or any fast food (cheap) restaurant. I really did not want to go to a FF restaurant. I know that I can not change the way they eat in one day, so I always give choices.
Thank goodness, they picked Red Lobster.
I do not know why kids love Red Lobster. It would not be my first choice. It is certainly better than the FF joints! I always give them the liberty of picking anything they want on the menu and all four kids picked a real somewhat healthy real food meal.
The 16 year old had a salad and fettuccine with shrimp. The other three all had crab legs, two with baked potatoes. The youngest ordered a coleslaw and fries with hers. All the kids ordered a frozen strawberry-daiquiri type drink which came with whip cream on it. (more sugar and chemicals).
The biscuits which were all white (and only a teensy bit better nutritionally than the Captain) were inhaled immediately.
They need real food! I see this every time I spend time with them. It is because they are eating chemically laden sugar-coated meals that fill them up and do not provide nutrients.
They all ate every speck of food on their plates. The five year old even wanted a salad when she was done with her dinner.
We had agreed to get dessert later at Rita’s. I am not surprised that they all ate well. Frequently, when I take kids out, I find that they are more than happy to eat right. As a matter of fact, most often they are eager to eat good-for-you foods, provided I do not insist that they do, or make an issue out of it.
Later, we had our Rita’s and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon, before dropping 2 of the kids off at Mom’s work. While waiting for Mom, they were encouraged to buy a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup to hold them over to dinner. I have no clue what dinner was, but you can be sure it was very convenient and most likely out of a box, similar to breakfast.
Had we had a beautiful day and gone to Pinchot Park as planned, I would have thrown some baked potatoes in the charcoal, had a watermelon, carrot sticks, grilled a turkey breast.
In the past, my experiences have been that these kids say that they want yellow macaroni and cheese or McDonalds, or they say that they do not want to eat healthy foods. (they hear their parents say “Aunt Deb is a health nut” or something to that effect).
Yet when I make a non-issue about it, pull celery sticks out of the cooler or just fix a nice meal and put it on the table, they eat it.
It is a non-issue. They actually eat it as if they are famished. They eat as if they have not had a meal in months.
This is a huge concern for the future of American kids!
Many kids’ diets are nutritionally void.
Convenience foods are sugar and chemical-laden.
Chemicals have no nutritional value and are addictive. Americans are the most over-fed undernourished population in the word. The society is overweight and starving to death. I know that many of you reading this are thinking that I am overreacting (my family does).
The fact is that the generation of kids that are growing up now are the first generation of Americans to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. That is scary. You may ask why? The answer is because these kids have been fed sugary-chemically laden foods from the day they were born.
Their parents on the other hand or older generations only started to consume huge quantities of these toxins as adults or young adults.
Any parent should be extremely concerned bringing children into the world today. I plan to make a difference in the eating habits of future generations.

2 Responses to "Are Your Kids Starving?"
It’s really sad to know that so many kids are actually starving despite having enough money for food. By now I would think that there’s enough out there on main media for parents to know about the health hazards of sugar-laden cereals. I’m blessed that my daughter, who has a 1 yr old, knows about good nutrition and feeds the little one whole and healthy food.
Great article! I wish all parents of young children could read it. We all have made so many nutritional mistakes, it’s a wonder our kids grew up healty at all! | 2019-04-24T05:57:09 | http://www.wowyouarereallylucky.com/health-lifestyle/are-your-kids-starving.htm |

Over four decades ago, Alfred G. Knudson proposed a ground-breaking model for tumorigenesis, suggesting that cancer is a consequence of genetic mutations that inactivate specific genes which suppress the growth of cancer cells. This visionary working model has greatly advanced our understanding of cancer, and has directly led to the discovery of numerous tumor suppressor genes, including PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog). PTEN was found to be frequently disrupted in multiple sporadic tumor types, and mutated in the germlines of patients with cancer predisposition syndromes such as Cowden disease. PTEN protein is known to govern a plethora of cellular processes, including cell survival, proliferation, and metabolism, by suppressing the highly oncogenic PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway through its lipid phosphatase activity. Of interest, tumorigenesis is exquisitely sensitive to even subtle variations in PTEN dosage, and consequently, mechanisms regulating PTEN protein expression play a critical role in cancer susceptibility and tumorigenesis. Thus restoring PTEN functions in cancer directly or indirectly holds great therapeutic promise. In this proposal, inspired by our recent discovery of a novel PTEN feedback mechanism in metastatic prostate cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, we aim to verify our initial findings by a direct genetic approach in the mouse, explore their therapeutic potential, and maximize the response of tumor cells to targeted therapy while reducing harmful side effects to healthy cells. In addition, we expect that the innovative mouse models we develop for these studies will become invaluable tools in future cancer research, given their pleiotropic tumor phenotypes. We anticipate the outcomes of this project will open new avenues for genetic analysis, pathway studies and clinical applications, and should have a profound impact on our approach to cancer both in the clinic and the lab. | 2019-04-18T18:27:22 | https://cprit.state.tx.us/grants-funded/grants/rp150084 |

A play for women's rights at the Flight Deck.
One in three women will have an abortion in her lifetime. That statistic is at the core of the message that the 1 in 3 Campaign, a group that fights for a women’s rights to abortion. But those leading the grassroots initiative also know that the experiences women have with abortion are far more complex that a data sound bite. Through a traveling play, the national campaign is disseminating many of those stories in an attempt to break the silence and stigma of shame surrounding the topic. Called Remarkably Normal, the production is a “documentary play” that dramatizes actual interviews with and stories submitted by people who have received abortions and who provide abortion care. The play’s cast is currently traveling the country in order to raise awareness as the Supreme Court prepares to make a major ruling on the legality of abortion, and will be performing at the Flight Deck (1540 Broadway, Oakland) this Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. | 2019-04-25T00:54:47 | https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/remarkably-normal/Content?oid=4835639 |
I see from pics you guys cook it with husk on. I've also done it that way but now if I'm cooking for a few I cut a corn into 3 pieces, rub some butter over it and sprinkle salt over it. Then I double wrap in Ali foil. Everyone loves it. We are lucky my wife grows her own corn. I've just planted 16 new seeds for this spring. Thoughts.?

Wanna try something really good ?
Nuke 2 ears in the microwave in the entire husk.
I'd shoot for 5 minutes total. Then cut the one pointy end. Grab the husk end and squeeze the Cobb out. It's gonna be extremely hot but should not have any Silk on the corn cobb at all.
Hit it with salted butter, then grated parmesan cheese and then with some Old Bay or Slap Yo Mama. I've even used Sucklebusters SPG and it was absolutely Delicious !!!
Do that and I promise you will love it.
Wv, I promise you I will try your way this summer. I've seen this somewhere so I know it will work. My family all love corn. I planted some for our garden just yesterday. | 2019-04-21T04:24:15 | http://texasbbqforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=32417&p=273588 |
The increasing volume of data in modern business and science calls for more complex and sophisticated tools.

Hoeth + Shadow is by far the most favoured combo for Archmages when you peruse the Ulthuan forums. That and book of Ashur for players who want to offer their mage some protection.
Where it worked particularly well against me was in teaming it with what I saw as a nice big swathe of free points. I took it hook, line and sinker.
So are we going to see this type of combo in your HEs?
Most likely I will be trying it out this week at 2400pts during a club game - play testing for Skitterleap. Although I think Lore of Life also has a lot to offer it. The problem is if you take book of Hoeth it makes the mage completely unprotected as is very much a one shot kind of deal. | 2019-04-23T20:16:44 | http://www.thefieldsofblood.com/2010/07/8th-ed-combo-1.html |
WTI prompt futures contracts got pummeled last week, gaining a small amount back on Friday closing off $0.70 higher to settle at $46.22, although not enough to counteract last week’s losses. So here’s a recap on the events that took place: Baker Hughes reported an increase in US rig count, 7 rigs from the Permian Basin, EIA had a bearish draw less than anticipated (930k actual versus 3 million barrel forecast), OPEC producers expressed sentiments that they did not wish to increase the level of production cuts should an extension be agreed to past June, all while the Permian Basin had a tremendous quarter showing no signs of slowing down.
What’s in store for this week? We hope you had an excellent weekend and came back refreshed and ready to face the market. | 2019-04-21T06:33:20 | https://www.atb.com/learn/market-updates/Pages/article.aspx?aid=577 |

Many years ago, 12-year-old Ryo played the role of dutiful son, learning to ply his future trade as a pottery maker like his father. However, when his small village is raided by brigands and a single stranger steps forward and ends the attack, Ryo changes his mind and wants to become a warrior like the stranger.
After obtaining his father’s blessing and waiting for his 13th birthday, Ryo heads out to find the stranger and train as he did so he can protect those who cannot protect themselves. What he encounters are challenges that he never expected, but is more than willing to face.
In Apocalypse 5, author Stacey Rourke introduces readers to a team of five early teenaged warriors who train mercilessly to protect the people of the starship AT-1-NS from any and all threats. They run virtual reality simulations nearly daily, but, despite being virtual, these trainings can result in death to the team members if they fail, at which time a new member will be promoted to the A5’s elite ranks.
Do you remember the pirate Hondo Ohnaka from either the Star Wars: Clone Wars or Star Wars: Rebels animated series? You don’t? That’s a little shocking. Sure, this Weequay was a background character, but he managed to insinuate himself into some pretty unforgettable sequences, both for better and for worse. I was never much of a fan myself. So imagine my dismay when I tuned into Star Wars: Pirate’s Price only to discover he was the front-and-center character driving the plot?
Yeah, I wasn’t happy. But then I started listening and, I’m going to be honest with you, hearing Jim Cummings bring Hondo to life through a mostly first-person accounting of his multiple times aboard the Millennium Falcon made me come around a bit. I actually kinda like the guy now.
Lando Calrissian has always been one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars universe. He’s a gambler, a swindler, a pilot, a warrior, a general, and he’s probably the only person that can make Han Solo blush. From that first moment on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back when Billy Dee Williams faced off with Harrison Ford, that was it for me. And I have not been disappointed with his portrayals in any subsequent movie or book… and, yes, Donald Glover nailed it.
So, given the opportunity to review Star Wars: Lando’s Luck, a book dedicated to Lando, I jumped at the chance.
A few weeks ago, I reviewed the audiobook for the junior novel for Solo: A Star Wars Story, the first of two novelizations of the film released in conjunction with the Blu-ray Edition. I apologize that it took nearly three weeks to get around to this Expanded Edition, but, yanno, life and other Geeks of Doom reviews.
Much like I explained in the review of the Joe Schreiber junior novelization, Mur Lafferty‘s novelization is just that, a scene-by-scene retelling of the movie. The Junior Novel promised and delivered on a handful of deleted scenes that didn’t make the theatrical cut; the Expanded Edition promises and delivers on that and a whole ton more.
Resistant is set in a not-so-distant future in which a large chunk of the world’s population has been decimated by disease, the spread of which was fueled by our long history of over-dependence on antibiotics, the dodgy business dealings of the pharmaceutical industry, and climate change. In the ensuing years, the remainder of the scientific community has been working on discovering a cure, to no avail. However, this effort is tainted. While a government-driven initiative, employing some of the world’s top scientists working against their will, will go to any length to find a cure so it can be privatized and sold to the highest bidder, a counteractive resistance is doing the same but with the aim of saving all of humanity.
It’s been about 125 years so I’m sincerely hoping that, by now, everyone is at least tangentially familiar with the legend of Count Dracula as published by Bram Stoker. Yes? Good. No? For shame!!
Now consider if you were told that the story of the world’s most infamous and influential vampire was based on true events in the life of its author.
Well, I’m not about to tell you that this is the case. However, Bram’s great-grand-nephew Dacre Stoker, along with co-author J.D. Barker, is here to do just that with Dracul, a prequel to the classic Dracula.
I’d like to preface this by saying that the next week or so is going to be interesting. I just finished the audiobook of Solo: A Star Wars Story Junior Novel (which I will review here in short order) and then I’m embarking on Solo: A Star Wars Story Expanded Edition. Both are novelizations of the same movie, but with different authors and different voice talents on each. I want to liken it to watching the theatrical and director’s cuts of a film, but I don’t think it’s going to be like that at all, to be honest, because the interpretations by the authors should be slightly different and the lead voice will have a different sound entirely. Bear with me, okay?
I began with the Junior Novel audiobook because I knew I could tear through it pretty quickly and because I’m already familiar with author Joe Schreiber‘s work in the Star Wars Universe having read both Death Troopers and Maul: Lockdown. (I’m pretty sure Death Troopers is the final book I purchased before Borders Books & Music shuttered forever).
There’s a risk inherent in reading the first published novel by an otherwise new author. There’s additional risk when that first published novel is announced as part of a planned trilogy before the author has even had the opportunity to toe the waters of publishing success. I admit I initially felt this way about reading Rebecca Schaeffer’s Not Even Bones. But the official synopsis won me over and made me overlook my trepidations and dive in.
Ever since the 1991 release of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, I have maintained that Grand Admiral Thrawn could be the best bad guy to ever grace the Star Wars universe. Even badder than Darth Vader. After author Timothy Zahn closed out the Thrawn trilogy of books – which also includes Dark Force Rising and The Last Command – I have been chomping on the bit for more Thrawn love.
Not only did I get no additional love, I had what I’d grown to love practically ripped out from under me as Thrawn and all the other characters introduced in the Expanded Universe of books and comics were declared non-canon by Lucasfilm. I was heartbroken. | 2019-04-20T14:17:03 | https://www.geeksofdoom.com/author/funwithdeadtrees |
Growth opportunities for Bristol-Myers Squibb make this drug stock a bargain.
What will Carl Icahn do? Will Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) be acquired? How will Opdivo fare against Merck's (NYSE:MRK) Keytruda?
There are plenty of unanswered questions swirling around about Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) these days. But as I listened to the company's CEO speak at the Cowen and Company global healthcare conference, I was reminded of something investors shouldn't miss: This stock is a bargain, despite all the current distractions. Here's why.
It's true that Merck achieved a solid success with its late-stage study evaluating Keytruda as a first-line treatment of lung cancer while BMS' Opdivo study disappointed. It's also true that Bristol-Myers Squibb will be playing defense against Merck for a while in the U.S. lung cancer market. However, the first-line lung cancer indication isn't a lost cause for BMS by any means.
BMS CEO Giovanni Caforio stated at the Cowen conference that his company has the most comprehensive strategy for first-line non-small-cell lung cancer. He's right.
There are currently five pharmaceutical companies with potential first-line lung cancer treatments either approved or in registrational studies. Merck, of course, already obtained approval for Keytruda as a monotherapy for patients whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. The company is also awaiting regulatory approval for Keytruda in combination with chemotherapy in the first-line indication.
Roche (NASDAQOTH:RHHBY) expects to submit Tecentriq for approval as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for lung cancer next year. Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) has its anti-PD-L1 inhibitor, avelumab, in late-stage testing in the front-line indication. Results from this study should be announced in the first half of 2018.
AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN) hopes to submit durvalumab for approval as a monotherapy later this year. The drugmaker also has a durvalumab/chemotherapy combo in late-stage testing, along with a combo with another immuno-oncology (I-O) candidate, tremelimumab.
Only Bristol-Myers Squibb, however, can check off all the boxes. There's still potential for Opdivo as a monotherapy in first-line lung cancer, since one arm of the CheckMate-227 study continues. The company also has an I-O/I-O combo with Opdivo and Yervoy, an Opdivo/chemotherapy combo, and an Opdivo/Yervoy/chemotherapy combo in testing.
Bristol-Myers Squibb has plenty of news on the way outside of the lung cancer indications. The company expects 10 data readouts within the next two years from phase 2 and phase 3 studies evaluating Opdivo/Yervoy in other types of cancer.
Anticoagulant drug Eliquis and autoimmune disease drug Orencia are experiencing solid sales growth. BMS hopes to augment its success in the two therapeutic areas with several mid-stage pipeline assets. In addition, the company is looking to expand its presence in the fibrotic-diseases space.
With Carl Icahn reportedly buying a stake in Bristol-Myers Squibb, there has been a lot of talk about the company being a buyout target. It's important to remember, though, that acquisitions can go both ways. I suspect the chances of BMS making its own acquisition are much higher than it being bought by another company.
Bristol-Myers Squibb already partners with several smaller biotechs. The company claims a strong balance sheet with roughly $9 billion in cash and cash equivalents. An acquisition of a biotech with a product that fits well with Opdivo could make sense.
Among the major players in the lung cancer market, Pfizer appears to be the most attractively valued based on forward earnings multiple. Bristol-Myers Squibb is the most expensive using that metric. However, when you factor in Bristol-Myers Squibb's growth prospects, the stock trades at a much more attractive valuation than its peer group.
There's also another nice plus: BMS has steadily raised its dividend for the last eight years. The company spends less than 58% of earnings to fund the dividend program, so more dividend increases could be on the way.
Forget the distractions. Bristol-Myers Squibb is a bargain. I doubt the stock will remain this good of a deal for too much longer. | 2019-04-26T09:41:27 | https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/03/08/forget-the-distractions-bristol-myers-squibb-is-a.aspx |

“You have arrived at a private party. A party where not everyone is welcome; you have to be a friend of the host to get in. you have to be ready. The party is cheerful, but full of nostalgia, and you’re not sure why. To some extent, an insular party. It is decorated with the most elegant drapery. The well-dressed waiters, light on their feet, walk on carpet to avoid making a noise, in the French style. This is not a boisterous wedding party. It is more like a liturgy. It is the debut of a woman who only yesterday was a little girl, but who, without you noticing, has grown up to be a beautiful woman. | 2019-04-23T05:52:36 | https://www.turodenmota.com/en/empar-moliner-and-omar-sosa-inspiration/ |

French beans are smaller than common green beans and have a soft, velvety pod. Quite fleshy for their size, only tiny seeds inhabit these delicate pods. French beans are sweet, tender and wonderfully crispy. French beans are delicious. The tasty beans are picked while still small and when cooked that size they taste out of this world. French beans generally grow as a bush, which grows twelve to twenty inches tall depending upon the variety you decide to grow. However there are some varieties that climb similar to runner beans, these varieties grow up to seven foot tall.
The milk, sweet, almost nutty flavor of cauliflower is at its best from December through March when it is in season and most plentiful in your local markets. Cauliflower has a compact head (called a “curd”), usually about six inches in diameter that is composed of undeveloped flower buds. The flowers are attached to a central stalk. Cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable, is in the same plant family as broccoli, kale, cabbage. When broken apart into separate buds, cauliflower looks like a little tree, something that many kids are fascinated by. Raw cauliflower is firm yet a bit spongy in texture. It has a slightly sulfurous and faintly bitter flavor.
Red pumpkin or Lal bhopla is poor man’s source of carotene in India. Other sources (like apples, carrots) normally happen to be rather expensive when not in the peak of season. Red pumpkin, however, is ‘in season’ throughout the year unlike in the Western countries, where it is typically an autumn appearance. | 2019-04-22T08:38:27 | https://www.bhajiwalababu.com/product/beans-bush-farasbi/ |
000036118 - Saving RSA Live credentials in NetWitness Endpoint fails with "Could not store into lockbox"
Issue When trying to save the ECATUI, Configure > Monitoring and External Components, RSA Live credentials, and it fails with the error "Could not store into lockbox".
Cause The RSA ECAT API Server service doesn't have permission to write to the lockbox files.
The lockbox files have become corrupt, and are no longer writeable.
Resolution 1. Check the RSA ECAT services have permission to write to files in the Server directory?
For example, in this screenshot, the Administrators group has Full control in the Server directory which gives Write permission.
2. If the Server directory permissions check above wasn't the cause of the issue, then perhaps the lockbox files are not writable.
a. On the ECAT Server in the ECATUI, Configure > Monitoring and External Components.
Make a copy of all the settings you have previously made, so these values can be re-entered later.
b. Exit the ECATUI, and stop all the ECAT services on the ECAT Server.
c. On the ECAT Server, in the Server directory (default path C:\Program Files\RSA\ECAT\Server) make a copy of all 4 km* files (km, km.bak, km.bak.FCD, km.FCD) to another location. These are the lockbox files and its backups.
d. Delete the 4 km* files.
e. Start all the ECAT services, the km* files will automatically be re-created in the Server directory.
f. In the ECATUI, Configure > Monitoring and External Components re-enter all the settings, starting with RSA Live. Ensure the RSA Live credentials can now be saved. | 2019-04-18T20:48:17 | https://community.rsa.com/docs/DOC-86550 |
Zero Waste Skincare and Haircare: meet GiseleByLAMissApple!
Today we're kicking off a series of interviews to present you the brands we work with and the passionate people behind the products we bring in your homes.
In this 1st episode we are thrilled to introduce Anne, founder and maker of the Los Angeles based brand GiseleByLAMissApple. We fell in love with her shampoo bars, hair mask, bath bombs and make-up remover. We are very excited to share the story of a true artist with many talents!
Why did you start Gisele by LAMissApple?
When I was 23 year old I had serious health issues. It was a pivotal moment in my life when I discovered there was a good chance my disease was linked to the "regular" skincare products I was using everyday, in particular my deodorant. These products are available everywhere, I trusted them. How could I know they were so dangerous for my health?
From this moment on, I eliminated all nasty chemicals from my life. I searched for organic ways to improve my health and the health of my little boy who was 1 year old at that time.
I spent 700 hours of studying aromatherapy in France. Through this experience, I learned all the benefits that essential oils can bring to us and how to use them to make perfectly safe skincare products. I'm grateful today I've built a business around my passion and I'm able to share my products with so many people around the world.
How did you choose the name GiseleByLAMissApple?
Gisele was my son's grand mother. I spent 6 months with her when she was going through chemo. I shared with her my first lotions, the bond between us became very strong. This name is a way to pay tribute to her.
And La Miss Apple is my french nickname (" la petite pomme") when I was a little girl.
Where does your inspiration to create your products come from?
My inspiration comes from Nature : I'm deeply curious about flowers, herbs, wax, seaweeds... all these natural substances have so many healing virtues, we don't need synthetic ingredients.
I choose the best plants and oils and incorporate them in all my products to treat skin and hair. It's safe for us and for our planet. For me it's obvious that it's the best thing to do.
It's a difficult question! I would say the coconut hair mask because it reminds me of my son. I created this product for his huge curly hair! Now I love how his hair have never looked so shiny and felt so soft.
My second favorite are all my solid shampoos: I'm very proud I came up with a product that is so eco-friendly (no plastic bottle, safe ingredients). It's truly zero waste, it has health benefits and as my customers would say "it's so simple and it works!". I created 9 different types, because we all have different hair. Pick one and you will see!
If I could choose one more product it will be of course my deodorant. Although I've found a safe recipe, it's hard to find the perfect zero waste and plastic free container, so it's still a work in progress.
What was your plastic pollution eye opening moment?
I got a wake up call in 2002. I was line producer for an advertising agency, we were making lots of commercials to promote luxury cosmetics brands. Between their formulas full of chemicals and their plastic packaging, you can imagine it was a little hard for me.
One day I was working on a short film I was producing. During the editing I went through images that were so shocking I still remember them: groups of children looking for food, climbing mountains of garbage, plastic was everywhere. I couldn't handle it but this convinced me I had to do something to raise awareness about this worldwide issue. And that's what happened years later when I started LAMissApple, this is my contribution.
What’s the easiest zero waste change you've made?
All the containers I use are recycled and I don't buy plastic anymore: I make all my beauty and household products myself; I even made some shopping bags and I sewn pads to clean my face (no more disposable cotton balls). And when my friends order from me, I sanitize and reuse their own containers.
It's also important for me to contribute to keeping our beautiful canyons clean. I go on a hike every week with my kids and we pick up all the plastic bottles we find. We bring what's recyclable to the recycling center and they keep the money they receive. This is how I teach them about caring for our environment.
My big project for 2018 is to spread the word for responsible consuming: I want to offer more ways to respect our planet, take care of our health, protect our kids. I want to become a reference brand for better living.
Why not to building an app, a platform or a concept store based on Zero waste and toxins-free lifestyle? Wish me luck! | 2019-04-23T20:42:46 | https://www.fillgood.co/blogs/news/zero-waste-partners-episode1 |
From his experience growing up as a Palestinian in Israel to his extensive research and practice in the field, Nadim Rouhana has examined protracted social conflict from various angles. His research highlights the centrality of identity, history, and justice in such conflicts and underscores the need to develop both theories and practical tools for addressing them. He is the former director of Point of View, an international research and retreat center at George Mason University’s Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. He comes to the Fletcher School with an illustrious career under his belt, and he sees his role as an opportunity to critically examine conflict studies and develop a new paradigm of conflict resolution that will include perspectives beyond those developed in the West.
Rouhana’s recent publications and projects underscore his commitment to highlighting the importance of history in conflict studies. He is currently working with a colleague from UCLA to plan a conference titled “Looking Past, Looking Forward: The History and Future of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” The conference kicks off a project to discuss future relations between Palestinians and Israelis by examining the nature of their past encounters.

Credit cards embedded with RFID chips bear four curved lines that look like wifi symbols.
Thumbing through a holiday catalog chock full of modern gadgets, we were struck by the presence of no fewer than three wallets purporting to block RFID signals.
First, we wondered, what are RFID signals? Second, why do we need to block them?
Each of the barriers was designed to keep identity thieves from gaining access to the RFID signals or, more specifically, the personal information they represent.
This same catalog sells Golf Ball Finder Glasses, so one is left to ponder whether RFID signals really represent a rich target for would-be ID thieves and a genuine risk for consumers.
Some licenses, credit cards and passports come with radio frequency chips embedded in them.
“When activated by an RFID reader, these chips transmit certain types of information wirelessly, so that you can verify your identity or even make a purchase without swiping your card,” according to a 2015 Slate magazine article.
The article cited demonstrations in which RFID skimmers obtained entire credit card numbers from a person’s pocket simply by using a handheld RFID reader.
However, Slate suggested that it’s of greater interest to security researchers than to thieves because of the existence of easier, more lucrative ways to steal money and data.
“By contrast, skimmers installed on ATM or point-of-sale machines allow thieves to pick up much more usable information from a far greater number of cards,” Slate noted.
NPR picked up on that theme in a story in July 2017.
“In the last few years, a whole RFID-blocking industry has sprung up, and it survives partly on confusion,” NPR reported.
Part of that confusion has resulted from the proliferation of RFID-blocking products even though a relatively small percentage of payment cards in the United States have RFID chips.
"There's probably hundreds of millions of financial crimes being done every year and so far zero real-life RFID crime," one computer security expert said.
Some experts said they are more concerned with other ways thieves steal personal information, such as with telephone scams. Password management and checking credit reports are important safeguards against identify theft, too.
RFID protection probably won’t hurt, other than the pain from buying that whiz-bang wallet with the stainless-steel layer.
If you’re still worried about RFID scams, you might settle for a home-made remedy. Citing Consumer Reports magazine, NPR said you can get as good of results by wrapping credit cards or passports in a thick piece of aluminum foil. | 2019-04-21T08:44:57 | https://www.advanced-ins.com/news/2017/12/mixed-signals-do-rfid-chips-pose-a-big-risk-for-identity-theft |

I have, for too long a period of time accepted the opinion of others (even though they were directly affecting my life) as if they were objective events totally out of my control. Because I separated such opinions from the persons who were making them, I accepted them the way I accepted natural disasters; and I endured them as inevitable.
Mitsuye Yamada was of the World War II generation and had grown up in a considerably different time and context in the U.S. when she wrote those words. Yet as I read them for the first time, I felt as if I had thought/written them. Her awakening into an understanding of how she was racialized and gendered as an Asian American woman, both in her own family and in the outside world, mirrored and validated my experience as well.
It took me 28 years to truly acknowledge that the act of debating was not a bad thing. Walking outside on a cloudy, wintry day in Ithaca, New York, where I was attending graduate school at Cornell University, I had just finished a heated debate with two colleagues at dinner about the use of a specific academic term in our studies; my friend and myself were against it and the other person was for it. I could finally see that debate was good for developing intellectual capacity, to truly refine why you believe or think a certain way, after hearing opposing arguments.
I had always equated debates, especially heated debates, with arguments, with conflict and fighting. Growing up as the youngest child in a mostly traditional, patriarchal Korean household had trained me by default to not question my elders. Anytime I spoke, it seemed to cause more discord within my family, because people started to fight! I started to think, wrongly, that I was the cause of this conflict, because I had spoken. So I learned to stay silent, to disassociate to a different place in my mind whenever fights happened. I went through school for a long time fearing interactions with teachers and other authority figures, and fearing the repercussions of using my voice. My learned silence and passive acceptance were good for avoiding and preventing familial conflict, even as those behaviors were reinforced by the outside world’s expectations.
Thus, it should not have been a surprise when I finally started to use my voice at home and I encountered resistance to it.
“Why are you acting like this? Why are you so argumentative, like you’re a teenager? You were so quiet and good when you were an actual teenager; you used to accept our word. And now that you’ve lived away from home, you’ve changed!” – my mother exclaimed in frustration to me this summer, when I heatedly contested something my parents had said. Essentially, she wanted me to stay quiet, even when they were wrong.
When my mother uttered those words, I had lived away from home for nearly ten years since starting college when I was 18 years old, with transitional stints staying with my parents during school breaks and unemployment periods. I had lived in El Salvador for nearly two years serving in the Peace Corps in my mid-twenties; then in rural, upstate New York to attend graduate school at Cornell, where I stayed for another two years; and I had lived and worked in India during the most recent summer. In between, I had traveled extensively. To say I had changed was accurate, if not an understatement. I had been in diverse environments with different histories and cultures; I had learned to find comfort in discomfort; and I had been immersed in places that were marred by global inequality, poverty, and violence. My worldview had broadened; my understanding of injustice and inequality had deepened; and my intellectual capacity for critical thinking had been heightened. But my parents, living in suburban California, worn down by years of hard immigrant life, and from a rigidly socially conservative era, had not kept up with my metamorphosis. They continued to treat me as their youngest daughter, a girl whose opinion was inconsequential, one who didn’t own her voice.
Going to college and taking ethnic studies courses at UC San Diego was where I first started to find that voice, one that was able to articulate a growing critical consciousness. This (re)education made me feel truly validated and gave expression to how I had felt but had not had the vocabulary or knowledge to express. My parents were reticent about their past in post-war Korea and about their experiences as immigrants in the U.S. Silence permeated and filled the crevices of our small apartment with all the unspoken han*** of our family’s and people’s history and experiences.
The “squeaky wheel gets the grease” was a saying that I heard much later in life, because it was never part of my childhood. The opposite was more commonly repeated in my house: Keep your head down, don’t cause trouble, don’t complain, just deal with it, and keep moving forward. This mantra of survival suited my parents’ upbringing in post-war Korea, raised by my grandparents who had endured decades of brutal, oppressive Japanese colonization, a world war, American and Soviet occupation, and a civil war partitioning their country for the foreseeable future. They had grown up in a strictly hierarchical, patriarchal family environment. When my parents were children, they were not allowed to sit at the same dining table as their parents, and could only speak when spoken to. While they were considerably more relaxed with me, there were still inevitable traces of their traditional upbringing. Debate and discussion were not encouraged. Silence at the dinner table was valued. The youngest was there to listen to others, not to be heard. It’s really only now, in my late-twenties, that I’m realizing the extent to which my silence “ultimately rendered me invisible” to others who were stereotyping me as a quiet, submissive Asian American woman.
A friend of mine pointed out once that I had an “offended silence” whenever someone said something offensive in my presence, where I raised my eyebrows and looked away as if thinking to myself, Don’t punch them in the face. I usually think, They’re so ignorant, they don’t even deserve my energy or attention to correct them. But as Yamada articulates in the above quote, I was not teaching anyone anything besides the reinforcement of my own “expected role” in a society still laced with white supremacist, heteronormative attitudes.
It wasn’t until I lived with my then-boyfriend last year at Cornell that I realized for the first time how much my silence had rendered me invisible. I was well-educated and worldly, and had gotten into an Ivy League university for graduate school. I thought I was beyond the stereotype of the submissive, silent Asian woman. But my “offended silence” reinforced my invisibility as he, a white man, made a fair share of ignorant, micro-aggressive remarks about Asians or myself as an Asian. He’s a white guy from New Jersey who hasn’t traveled abroad much and hasn’t been around Asian Americans. I just need to give him some time to emerge from his ignorance after being around me, I rationalized. Sometimes, I did call him out, and he would take it well, but I did not feel that it was my responsibility to teach him out of all his ignorance.
I had finished my classes and was taking one last semester to finish my thesis, so I had more free time than before when I had had a full course load and teaching responsibilities. In the cold, long winter of Ithaca, I stayed in our home and worked on my thesis, avoiding the long uphill walk to campus in the snow. Surprising myself, I relished in domesticity. I cleaned, I cooked, I listened to him talk about his day, his worries, and his complaints about colleagues and professors. I listened and I listened. I had endless patience for this self-centered, selfish boy in a man’s body. Until he made it clear over time that he wanted his words to hurt me. He wanted me to listen to how I was unworthy and ungrateful, how I was stupid, lazy, boring, and everything that the white patriarchy tells women of color about how they are not good enough in one way or another. I wish I could say I spoke up for myself then, but all I could do was stay silent and blame myself when he had angry outbursts, and when he made mean, condescending remarks. Sometimes, I cried. I endured his verbal abuse as “inevitable natural disasters.” They were, in fact, totally unnatural. When I eventually recovered my voice to speak up for myself and to break up with him, he sneered and refused to listen to anything I had to say.
Why had I let things get so far? Why had I let him disrespect me so much? It took this pain and the development of my own personal han to acknowledge how much I had “separated opinions from the persons who were making them” in all aspects of my life. Parents, friends, strangers, colleagues, lovers. I had not applied my knowledge to my daily experiences, and I had become aware of how much I was still stereotyped, even by those close to me. A colleague had described me as “apolitical” to my then-boyfriend, when, in fact, he was the apolitical one. I had actively discussed and cared about immigration and civil rights, while he avidly avoided any political talk. But this colleague only saw us in our stereotypes of Asian woman and white man; she did not listen to what was actually being said and by whom.
It was time to move on and build a home elsewhere, a home where I would be visible. I had tried and failed to build a home with him, both metaphorically in our relationship and literally in the apartment we shared. Upon my return to my home town, I also realized how different I had become after my various experiences, and how difficult it was to be the daughter my parents once knew. Now, I’m settling down somewhere else for a while for work. It is only a matter of time before I become restless again. But now I know, home is in myself first and foremost, and it will withstand the “man-made disasters” as I demand accountability and authenticity in those around me and in myself.

After breakfast with the children, the first job of the lady of the house would be to talk to the housekeeper. It would be important for them to communicate about the other servants, making sure they were doing their jobs properly and behaving correctly above and below stairs.
They would also discuss the evening meal. If visitors were expected, the lady would choose meals that were lavish and unusual. (They loved showing off.) When these matters were dealt with the wife would then check through the household accounts. Bills for meat, candles and flour would usually be paid weekly. When the early morning activities were finished, the social whirl would begin! High society ladies would either receive calls or visit others. Tea would be drunk and snacks eaten.
A very agreeable pastime for a young Regency lady (especially a Brunswick town resident) was to show off their latest fans and fashions along the sea front. To stroll along the promenade at Brighton was a popular way to spend a few hours.
In Brunswick Square the lady of the house would have aspired to be the best dressed in town. Different outfits would be laid out by the maid for each section of the day. Politically, the French Revolution was a major talking point, thus introducing popular French fashions. At this time Napoleon had declared himself ruler of the Empire, and we see the emergence of the 'Empire Line' dress. This style raised the waist-line to sit under the breast.
This design pushed away from the need of the uncomfortable boned corsets. However if corsets were to be worn, the lady would be helped to dress by a maid. The maid would pull the strings tight at the back of the garment until the lady was laced in. On top of this would be placed a range of petticoats, then finally a 'Morning Dress'.
A Regency woman would change her clothes up to 6 times a day and would have had a number of different outfits for every conceivable occasion. | 2019-04-19T19:12:53 | http://www.rth.org.uk/regency-period/family-life/ladies |

I’m Patta – mom of two and amateur chef. I’m from Thailand, but have called Hong Kong home for the past 10 years.
With a background in trends research and strategy, I wanted to bring innovation to something I really love: fresh, authentic food.
In Hong Kong, it’s hard to get started as a food entrepreneur. Rents are high and space is limited, so it’s difficult to get a break, let alone run a business. We set out to change all that. Fast forward 4 years and our Hong Kong kitchen is the heart of our community. It’s a hive of activity and creativity, with chefs, caterers, and bakers doing what they do best and growing their businesses every day.
So, why San Francisco? Some of my best friends live here and I come back time and again to sample some of the most incredible local food I’ve ever tried. I love this city and I can’t wait to see what we cook up together.
Pick up your food or book a culinary experience with the best chefs in town.
We love our chefs – and not just because they’ve cooked their way into our hearts. They come from a variety of culinary backgrounds: professionally-trained, self-taught, generational cooking families – you name it.
Fill in the form, tell us a little about you and let's fix a time to get together.
Building a food community in San Francisco.
I loved that the event was more interactive. It was much easier to connect with other Elites while we bonded over chopping, mixing, folding, and frying dumplings.

The Galvin Green Banks WINDSTOPPER Half Zip Jacket is a great way to look good and stay warm this autumn and winter.
Galvin Green have designed the Banks WINDSTOPPER Jacket from a soft lightweight shell fabric, that is extremely comfortable and quiet to wear and swing a club in. The half-zip design allows for the jacket to be taken on or off in seconds so you will not get caught out by the weather on the golf course.
The sporty three-colour Banks jacket features WINDSTOPPER technology. WINDSTOPPER technology makes the Banks Jacket totally windproof and hugely effective at keeping you warm when the windchill is low on the golf course. Also, any excess heat generated by the WINDSTOPPER technology will escape leaving you dry and comfortable for the entire time you are wearing the jacket without allowing the cold to penetrate through the jacket.
So, in our opinion the Galvin Green Banks WINDSTOPPER Jacket will keep you warm, feel unrestrictive to swing a club in, has great styling and is real easy to look after. For us this is a must for any serious autumn / winter golfer.
Totally windproof. Effectively protects against windchill.
Maximum breathability that allows moisture vapour to evaporate.
Thermoregulatory function keeps the body at an optimum performance temperature.
Perfect fit for maximum comfort and freedom of movement, specially developed for golfers.
The WINDSTOPPER® membrane is an ultra thin, totally windproof protective layer which is laminated to a lightweight textile layer. The membrane is made of the versatile polymer PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) which is expanded to create a microporous structure. These micropores are 900 times larger than water vapour molecules, allowing perspiration to pass through unhindered. | 2019-04-19T20:45:37 | https://www.golfonline.co.uk/galvin-green-mens-banks-half-zip-windstopper-jacket |
