Erica and Laycon fans have already begun to react in their diverse ways to what is going down on Laycon’s new reality TV show.
Erica and Laycon Fans React to I Am Laycon
Yesterday marked the beginning of Laycon’s new reality TV show on Showmax; I Am Laycon. Reactions from Erica and Laycon fans have begun to trail the first episodes that were released, and one of the scenes that really got people talking was where Laycon moved to halt his brother from mentioning Erica’s name.
Erica’s fans, the Elites, have not taken lightly to this and how Erica was portrayed on the show. Other people believe that Laycon and Erica might have already settled their issues and have become friends. In contrast, people on the outside keep perpetuating a fight that probably isn’t actually happening.
Erica has just revealed that she recorded a trendy sound that most people are familiar with. She told that she voiced the “It’s STG” label for the producer. She said she did it in 2015.
Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has endorsed his son’s aspirations, Yul Edochie to contest for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.
Zlatan Ibile’s baby mama, Davita, has sent a word out to her ‘haters’ that they cannot separate her and her baby’s father, Zlatan because the baby is the glue that binds them together.
Israel DMW has apologized to DJ Cuppy for his statements regarding the Gelato, Zlatan saga. He said that he acted based on what he had heard and he would not do it again. Davido, Zlatan and others have reacted by making fun of the man who handles Davido’s logistics.
The Occupy Lekki Toll Gate protesters have been warned by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that the security agencies will not pull any punches when dealing with any protester who might want to cause any havoc.
Toyin Abraham’s husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, took to his Instagram to celebrate and congratulate his wife on acquiring a new Brabus tuned Mercedes G-Wagon.
Moyo Lawal took to her Instagram page to share how she received an outrageous electricity bill from the electricity company. She lamented that she does not run a factory or industry in her house, but was still charged as high as 700 thousand naira for her bill.
UNICEF has said that COVID-19 will still be around in the world for at least another 2 years.
China has banned the BBC from their country, citing a breach of broadcasting regulations with a particular report. This came just a couple of days after the CGTN, China’s foremost broadcaster was also banned in the UK.
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has promised Rivers United football club the sum of 20 million naira if they can defeat Enyimba football club of Aba in their CAF Confederations Cup playoff game billed for Sunday.
The Tokyo Olympics boss has resigned after he made a statement some time ago that was considered sexist and there were lots of calls for him to step down from his position.

I have loved opening up the world of reading to my kids through our Usborne Books!
AND sharing them with you guys! Every time I share something either
on Instagram or on the blog I get asked A LOT of questions…
like how do you earn free books?? How do you join??
What are your favorite books?
I LOVE all of the inquiries and it makes my heart happy that we all want to raise readers!
Sharing the books comes naturally for us and it has been such a great fit for our family…
It’s even better that you guys seem to love them too!
I made a goal this week to create two videos on topics that I thought would be helpful for those interested.
One is all about why you NEED these books and why we love them.
The second video is sharing about my story of being an Usborne Books & More Consultant.
Keep scrolling to see the two new videos or CLICK HERE to see my updated Info page!
Here’s just some of the fun we’ve had with our books!
They’ve inspired a lot of family activities….and tasty treats. ;)
Do you have a book you love and want to see some crafts and snacks themed with it??
We are always up for a challenge. ;)
Another goal I had this week was to work with the Leaders on our team
to create a Book Lady Training Course for our new girls! (Similar to my Blogging E-Course)
I’m SO excited to be able to offer this resource to our new team members and help them dive right in.
One of the best parts of being on this team is that not only do we get to earn a weekly paycheck and free books and TRIPS…
But we have the opportunity to bring other women a long with us to reach their goals.
Here’s the video on my own story as a Consultant.

Szoke Takes the Lead in International BMW Race Trophy
It was another perfect season for Jordan Szoke (CA) in the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK). As he did in 2015, he again took seven wins in seven races on his BMW S 1000 RR. The Mopar Express Lane BMW Superbike Team rider completed his clean sweep at last weekend’s season finale held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville (CA). Szoke remained unbeatable in the final two races of the year and was crowned champion for the second time in a row and the 11th time overall.
After just one week, the 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy has a new leader again. Jordan Szoke (CA) ended his season in the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK) with another double win at Bowmanville (CA) and took the top position in the standings with 410.00 Race Trophy points. New in second place is Vincent Lonbois (BE) with 362.45 points after claiming a win and a second place at the Finnish round of the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) in Imatra. The previous leader, road racer Michael Dunlop (GB / BMW RRC), is now third with 332.30 points (see full standings below).
The 2016 BMW Motorrad Race Trophy is comprised of 20 championships with 27 different classes, staging 280 races on 84 circuits in 24 countries on six continents.
“I couldn't claim any more points.” says Szoke. “We won every race, every pole, earned our championship, Team of the Year, and broke track records. Here’s hoping it will earn us, and our country, a BMW Motorrad Race Trophy.”

"Mudbound" is about how things change—slowly, unevenly, painfully. It is also, as the title suggests, about how things don’t change, about the stubborn forces of custom, prejudice and power that lock people in place and impede social progress. Set mainly in the Mississippi Delta in the years just after World War II, when Jim Crow was still enshrined in law and practice, the film tests and complicates Faulkner’s much-quoted claim about the not-even-pastness of the past.
In nine states from Nevada to Tennessee, anyone who has lost been imprisoned and lost thier right to vote, cannot regain it until they pay off any outstanding court fines, legal fees and victim restitution. In Alabama, that requirement has fostered an underclass of thousands of people who are unable to vote because they do not have enough money.

New York Review of Books
Even in the era of the Beatles and Motown's roster of stars, the brilliant James Brown established a place that was his alone. His was not about magic, it was about power that could not be denied by anyone brought within its field of influence. What the book's author also finds is a wary solitariness that paradoxically found its fullest expression in Brown's ability to give himself so completely in performance to suggest a generosity approaching self-immolation.

EIHS Lecture: "Matter of Contention: Relics of the Biblical Past Between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity"
University of California, Los Angeles
Abstract: During the period of late antiquity (ca. 200–800 CE), Jews and Christians in the Mediterranean world were fascinated by the fate of artifacts associated with sacrificial cult of the Jerusalem Temple and the royal house of ancient Israel. The presence of such objects—as word, image, relic, or replica—had the capacity to imbue people, places, and ritual practices with authority and even sanctity. This paper explores how such “biblical” artifacts were recruited into a variety of often competing religious or ideological projects, but also how they helped to generate shared idioms of power that crossed religious and social boundaries. Contestation between Jews and Christian over the ownership, function, or meaning of these objects also illuminates how religious communities shape each other’s understandings of sacred matter and even of materiality itself.
Ra‘anan Boustan is an Associate Professor in the Ancient and Jewish history fields in the Department of History at UCLA. Boustan is a historian of religion whose research and teaching focus on the dynamic intersections between Judaism and other Mediterranean religious traditions, with a special interest in the impact of Romanization and Christianization on Jewish culture and society in late antiquity. Boustan is the author of From Martyr to Mystic: Rabbinic Martyrology and the Making of Merkavah Mysticism (2005), has published widely in leading journals such as The Jewish Quarterly Review, Jewish Studies Quarterly, and Medieval Encounters. He has also co-edited eight volumes, most recently a special issue of the journal Archiv für Religionsgeschichte on “Authoritative Traditions and Ritual Power in the Ancient World” (forthcoming 2015). He is currently writing a book entitled The Holy Remains: Tokens of Cult and Kingship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity, which traces the history of sacred objects associated with the ancient Israelite past within Jewish and Christian cultures in late antiquity.
Free and open to the public.
This lecture is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

The women rule at Duke’s OceanFest
Friday - August 29, 2008
Aloha, surfers and beachgoers, Here we are, last week of August, last week of summer. The good news is we’re heading into some fun surf on all shores for a while. The North Shore continues to prove we are past our summertime minimums, and South Shore swells prove to be long-lasting into September. By this Friday, the surf should be near three feet into early next week, if all goes well. So stay waxed and ready, wave warriors.
Duke’s OceanFest scored fun waves all week - even with a disappointing SW swell. Yes, the sun, sand and surf were plentiful in this “Gold Medal” ocean sports festival. The energy is always high, win or lose. But I have to tell you about one winner, at least, because she is special.
Congratulations to Candice Appleby for her victory not only in the women’s amateur SUP (stand up paddle board) division, but also the Pro Men division!
Watch out for this woman as she busts down the barriers between the sexes. I mean, you try to beat Brian Keaulana!
“Today was a total dream come true,” says Appleby, 23, a student at UH-Manoa, where she studies tropical plants and soil science. “I live right down the street and I surf here every day. I’ve just been really focused and training hard. I can’t really say I was nervous. I felt honored to be in a heat with them. All those guys (in the final), I learned from watching them, and they have inspired me to do what I do.
“Given the conditions, I think it’s whoever really wants it the most. You’ve got to be 100 percent with your mind, your body and your spirit. The ocean conditions did play a part, but it takes your personal strength to get you through.” (from Jodi Wilmot and DukeFoundation.org)
Thanks to C4 Waterman, Honolua Surf Co. and Blue Planet for sponsoring this great new addition to Duke’s OceanFest. Here’s a thumbs up for the resurgence of an old surfing tradition, combining canoe paddling’s paddle with long-boarding’s surfboard.
OK, here’s another talented pretty woman who also can take the guys down in competition. But Joy Monahan (22) decided to give us boys a break and only surf the Roxy Jam in Duke’s OceanFest. “It has been an amazing summer, one of my favorites for sure,” says Monahan, who now heads back to college in Utah.“I was more nervous for this contest than I was for the world title, just because I think I put a lot of pressure on myself. But once I just told myself that I proved everything in France and this is for fun, I was able to relax. (Joy is the first-ever women’s world longboard champ from Hawaii)
“I grew up surfing here, so I consider it one of my home breaks. It was awesome to be back here, it’s been a while since I was in an event here.”(from George Mojo: Dukefoundation.org)
Now check this out: The girl who came in second was 15-year-old up-and-coming (I should say arrived already) Kelia Moniz, daughter of Hawaii surfing legend Tony Moniz. Wow, what a surfing family! Kelia was the best nose rider of the event. If she had grabbed just a couple “set” waves outside, she might have beat the world champ - go figure.
“I was stoked to make the final and get to surf with all my friends,” says Moniz. “I was just trying to catch the little ones that had a wall to them, because I could just nose ride them, but it didn’t really work in the final.”(from George Mojo)
Well, all I can say is, boys beware - the girls aren’t going anywhere but up. Good luck keeping up.
That’s what I’ll be doing this week in the sun, sand and surf. Hope to see you out there and back here next week in MidWeek.
GQ, Dropping in 4 U!

From Joe Mullen
A. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
B. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to ABOUND and to suffer need.
C. 13 I can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me.
D. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did COMMUNICATE WITH my affliction.
D’. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church COMMUNICATE WITH me as
i) concerning GIVING and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
ii) 17 Not because I desire a GIFT: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
C’. 18 But I have ALL,
B’ and ABOUND: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
A’. 19 And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

10th Street Bath House, 268 East 10th Street
*Please note that the baths will still be operational during Dutchman. Don't forget to bring light attire (e.g. swimsuit) and sandals; robes will be provided by the baths!
Rashid Johnson’s first live performance is a reimagining of Dutchman, an Obie Award winning theatrical play written in 1964 by LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), presented at the well-known Russian & Turkish Baths in the East Village. A political allegory that wanders into the surreal, the Performa 13 presentation is a journey through physical sensations and emotional atmospheres for actors and audiences alike as they collectively participate in the endurance-testing performance drama that shifts from the Bath’s heated rooms and other spaces. The Baths’ conditions disrupt the narrative flow of the play – a tense confrontation between a black man and a white woman on a subway train that continually teeters on violence – so that the drama unfolds in fits and starts. This approach incites a profound sense of disorientation, recalling off-centered and out of sync notions of time and space in relation to the body and lived experience as well as the ways in which past historical events and climates continue to show themselves in the present in particular locations and situations, arriving like a sudden change in the weather.
Dutchman is a Performa Commission curated by Adrienne Edwards.
Generously supported by Hauser & Wirth.

Gaboon viper envenomation: An unexpected injury by non-indigenous snake in South Korea Author links open overlay panel
Young Gi Min, Seung Ho Ham, Yoon Seok Jung, Sangchun Choi
Department of Emergency Medicine, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, South Korea
Keywords: Snake bites, Antivenins, Viperidae, Animals, Exotic
In recent years, various kinds of non-indigenous snakes have become popular as domestic pets globally. If the snake is highly venomous, this would be a potentially life-threatening emergency for breeders. In such a case, the specific antidote should be administered immediately for saving the life. “Salmusa” genus (e.g. Gloydius genus) is a representative indigenous venomous snake in South Korea. Therefore, only one antidote for the “Salmusa” genus is commercially available in South Korea. The Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) inhabits in the rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. Its venom is very toxic for mammals. Victims of a Gaboon viper bite could result in die unless the appropriate antidote is administered timely. We report a case of a 20-year-old male who completely recovered from a Gaboon viper envenomation after receiving “Salmusa” antivenom (Kovax®). This report reminds us that establishing an inventory of antidotes for potential toxic non-indigenous organisms is needed to enable successful treatment of emergency situations for public health.

[erlang-questions] Why is Erlang what it is?

In systems where you load code into running systems it might be overly complex
to perform a complete static type check for the system with the new
code inserted. Not that it is impossible though.
It would motivate me to pick dynamic typing. :)

Government plans to limit legal aid to those with a strong connection to the UK are unlikely to lead to a reduction of expense in family cases and could impact on the 26-week time limit for care proceedings, the Family Justice Council has warned.
In its submission to the Ministry of Justice Transforming Legal Aid consultation, the FJC – an inter-disciplinary body that provides advice on the family justice system and which is chaired by the President of the Family Division – said: “The impact of these limitations will further….impact on those most in need of representation and least able to afford it; preventing them from accessing protection provided by law in other legislation.
“These groups include those subject to care proceedings, especially emergency protection applications, and the victims of domestic violence or forced marriage.”
The submission added: “It is inherently unjust and unfair that, for example, a child in need of protective measures should be unrepresented because sufficient information about their circumstances is not available when their proceedings are issued.”
Questioning whether the MoJ’s claimed savings would be of any real significance, the FJC argued that the uncertainty surrounding the legal test was likely to cause delay and additional, unnecessary hearings.
It said: “In care proceedings where significant reforms are underway to reduce delays, the uncertainty about representation will mean that the first hearing, at which crucial decisions are to be made to ensure the timely progress of the case, will not be effective.
“’Front loading’ (essential to the implementation of the 26-week time limit) with much of the work having to be done early in the proceedings, means that parents and children need legal representation from the very outset of proceedings.”
The council added that a legal aid provider would not necessarily have access to the information needed to make a judgement under this provision, as such information often becomes available only after several weeks through protocol requests to the Home Office.
The FJC went on to warn that the proposed residence test would create situations, particularly in urban areas with diverse populations, in which the local authority would be the only legally represented party, in proceedings which involve parents and children who speak little, or no, English and so require interpreters.
“We anticipate that in these situations the local authority would bear the whole of the cost of assessments, and any other disbursements,” the response added.
In other comments, the Family Justice Council said:
- It did not agree that proposals to cut the public family law representation fee by 10% were necessary, proportionate or would assist in the efficient and timely administration of justice. Such further reduction in remuneration “will cause difficulty for the judiciary, HMCTS, Ministry of Justice and Department for Education at a time of significant change and reform in the family justice system”.
- Fees for public family law had already been heavily cut. If the current proposal is implemented, there will have been a 30% cut in the fixed fee rate in a period of three years (2011-14).
- Inadequate remuneration risks adversely affecting the courts through poor representation leading to ineffective hearings and additional hearings and thus to greater expense overall. “Fixed fee provision has already led to this difficulty in areas of the country. If implemented the number, diversity and quality of providers will be further affected at a time when there is already an impact from poor provision.”
- It was a “misapprehension” to assume that a shorter time span for cases would mean that solicitors would do less work. “Given the impact of the reforms thus far have resulted in the same, or more, work conducted by representing solicitors in a much tighter timeframe.” The move to more focused and proactive case management, at an early stage, would frontload the work done in cases, but would not necessarily reduce the amount of work that needs to be done.
The FJC also said it did not agree with the MoJ’s proposal to cut fees paid to experts by 20%, saying that there was real concern that an arbitrary cut of this kind would impact on their availability.
“Evidence provided to the FJC indicates that many experts will not assist the courts should the proposed cut be carried out, as it will not be worthwhile employing staff to assist in conducting the work,” it reported.
The submission added: “It is accepted that the ‘free’ market that experts have traditionally operated in for many years has to re-adjust to the current financial climate. However, a further blanket cut of 20% is likely to create an exodus of experienced experts from the family courts, especially those experts operating within the most professionally robust and ethical practices as they refuse to undertake assessments without sufficient time.”
In its opening remarks, the FJC criticised a lack of robust impact assessment within the consultation document, a lack of any assessment of the impact of the changes to legal aid to date, and a lack of reliable information or evidence regarding past spending, projected spending, and budgets.
It also warned of further reductions in the number of legal aid providers as a result of the proposals.
“This may have the impact of causing delay; particularly in public law cases when parties entitled to representation are already struggling to find a provider and are unlikely to be able to find a local provider. This continues to be a significant difficulty in respect of access to justice and representation for parties to public law proceedings in rural areas with expensive and poor public transport networks.”

Even Mike Ashely isn’t immune to the weather.
The Newcastle United owner’s retail goliath, Sports Direct was sent tumbling today as Citi trimmed its first-half profit forecast for the chain by £5 million to £165 million.
The bank blamed the cut on recent warm weather which has already provoked a profit warning from High Street bellwether Next, off 35p at 6622.5p.
Citi’s Richard Edwards also cut his estimate for Sports Direct’s full-year earnings by £15 million to £293 million, this time due to its planned spending spree. The company wants to set up a chain of budget gyms across the UK, as well as a push into Europe, and is experimenting with a partnership with Debenhams.
Edwards subscribes to the old maxim that you’ve got to spend money to make money, believing all this will be positive in the end, but investors took a more short-term view, sending Sports Direct down 13.5p to 640p.
The FTSE dipped 30.87 points to 6665.73 after disappointing Chinese manufacturing figures overnight hit miners. The mining sector knocked a collective 9.53 points off the index.
Johnson Matthey climbed 91p to 3241p as it posted a 2% rise in underlying, pre-tax profit despite revenue tumbling by 25%. The catalytic convertor maker, which also refines metals, was hit by the end of a long-standing agreement with Anglo Platinum. But investors were heartened to see a jump in revenues and profitability at its emission controls technology division.
Contractor Babcock surged 53p to 1170.5p as it revealed a 24% jump in first-half revenue, with much of that down to the recent £1.6 billion acquisition of helicopter company Avincis. The engineering-services company has also been named as the preferred bidder for the soon-to-be privatised Ministry of Defence agency which maintains that army’s tanks.
Property specialist Grainger climbed 3.4p to 195.9p after outperforming the market with a 26% rise in pre-tax profit. Chief executive Andrew Cunningham also reported “more sustainable rates of growth” in house prices after the recent runaway performance in London and the South-East.
Cloud-computing group Outsourcery jumped by 7.5p to 17.75p on AIM thanks to a partnership with Microsoft which will see it sell subscriptions to Office 365 directly.Reuse content

EUR / USD. August 15. The trading system “Regression channels”. Weak response from Erdogan and Trump
The senior channel of linear regression: direction – down.
The younger channel of linear regression: direction – down.
Moving average (20, smoothed) – down.
The currency pair EUR / USD resumed the downward movement on August 14 after a minimal upward correction. Thus, the European currency is still in a downward trend. In the meantime, Turkish President Erdogan called on the population to boycott the purchase of American-made goods and move to settlements in lira, instead of the dollar. Honestly, the response of the leader of Turkey to Trump duties is still very weak. It should be understood that the call for a boycott is not specific sanctions or bans that can give concrete results. Given the popularity of Apple’s technology, a very small number of Turkish citizens will really refuse to buy the goods of this brand. Thus, we state the fact: so far there has been no response to the US sanctions from Erdogan. This means that the Turkish lira can continue its decline against the US dollar, and together with the lira and the euro. Today in the US will be published reports on changes in the volume of industrial production and retail sales. However, as we have already said, traders now pay a very indirect attention to any macroeconomic reports. Thus, both US reports should fail today, so that traders would at least fix profit on dollar positions. Otherwise, the downward movement is likely to continue.
Nearest support levels:
S1 – 1.1292
S2 – 1.1230
S3 – 1.1169
Nearest resistance levels:
R1 = 1.153
R2 = 1.1414
R3 = 1.1475
The currency pair EUR / USD resumed its downward movement. Thus, today it is recommended to stay in shorts or open new ones with the targets of 1.1292 and 1.1230. Turning indicator Heikin Ashi up, signal to manually close orders for sale.
Long positions are recommended to be considered only after fixing the price above the moving average line with the target of 1.1536. In this case, the initiative on the instrument, at least for a while, will pass into the hands of bulls.
In addition to the technical picture, one should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
Explanations for illustrations:
The upper channel of linear regression is the blue lines of unidirectional motion.
The lowest linear regression channel is the violet lines of unidirectional motion.
CCI – the blue line in the indicator window.
Moving average (20; smoothed) – the blue line on the price chart.
Levels of Murray – multi-colored horizontal stripes.
Heikin Ashi is an indicator that color bars in blue or purple.

If you are looking for a flexible way to earn money from home, freelance writing may be the career path for you.
There are a few different ways you can begin freelance writing from the comfort of your own home. The first would be to seek out individuals and companies who need writing done and sign them up as clients. You could choose to query paying magazines about article ideas you think you could write about, or you could choose to write for one or more revenue-sharing content sites. You could also choose to do a combination of those, writing assigned articles from magazines and clients when they are available, and writing for content sites when business is slow.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BEGIN
Freelance writing requires very little in the way of start up investment to begin. You’ll need access to a computer and the internet primarily.
What you do require to be a successful freelancer is the ability to write well and quickly. If it takes you a day to compose one page of an article, you’ll have a difficult time earning a living as a writer. You also need to be able to edit your writing for content, spelling and grammar. You’ll need to know how to do research, and how to write articles based on your research without plagiarizing.
Finally, you need to be able to follow explicit directions, as quite often assignments from clients and magazines are very specific as to what is required in terms of content, word count, and even keyword placement.
Aside from being able to write, the most important skill needed by a freelance writer is the ability to market herself and her work. To write for magazines, you’ll need to be able to sell your idea for a story to editors, to write for web clients, you’ll need to sell yourself as a reliable source of content, and to be able to make money from content sites, you’ll need to know how to drive traffic to your content on those sites in order to maximize your income.

The long delay between the end of the NFL season and the start of the 2014 NFL draft provides ample time for nit-picking and speculation. As such, draft stocks tend to fluctuate wildly, even while the players' portfolios are largely complete.
The biggest step remaining in the pre-draft process is the combine, which will occur this week in Indianapolis. Even before the poking and prodding occurs at Lucas Oil Stadium, however, draft stocks are already changing as All-Star game evaluations are studied and opinions are formed.
With that in mind, here's a look at a few early risers and fallers in the NFL draft process.
Dee Ford, DE, Auburn
Ford took home Senior Bowl MVP honors after a dominating week of practice and is now earning buzz as one of the best pass-rushing prospects in the draft. As if 10.5 sacks last season were not enough, his high character and solid measurables are expected to have him test well at the combine, according to Louis Riddick of ESPN:
Hearing more and more about how exceptional the football/personal character of #Auburn DE Dee Ford is. Going to go over well at combine..— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) February 8, 2014
Consequently, it appears Ford is a serious Day 1 consideration. The 6'2" and 243-pounder fits in well with the NFL's increasing emphasis on speed and athleticism over pure size, and he flashed a consistently explosive first step and good hand usage that should bode well going forward.
A capable edge-rusher is one of the most valuable commodities in today's passing-oriented game. Ford shows elite game speed, and if he puts up impressive combine numbers, that might be enough to vault him from a borderline first-rounder into a lock.
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois
Eastern Illinois has produced quarterback steals before, and Jimmy Garappolo will try to follow in Tony Romo's footsteps beginning next fall. Unlike Romo, Garappolo figures to hear his name called at some point, and after impressive Shrine Game and Senior Bowl performances, that could come earlier rather than later.
He earned buzz for a quick release and high football IQ, flashing plenty of NFL-caliber tools that began to win over skeptics who doubted his level of competition. After the Senior Bowl, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo had high praise for Garappolo, per Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune:
As of Tuesday afternoon, Scelfo was ready to attest that the promising quarterback from Eastern Illinois was indeed the real deal.
"In his experience, he has thrown so many balls. He has seen so many different things," Scelfo said. "So when you talk to him, right off the bat, he's asking questions about plays and coverages and this and that and that. It was easy to see how his mind was connecting and translating from the board and from the screen."
Garoppolo still sits firmly in the second tier of quarterbacks for now, behind the likes of Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel and Blake Bortles. However, a good combine showing could push the Eastern Illinois product up into the late first round, perhaps with a quarterback-needy team trading back into the round to select him.
Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois
Size has always been the major qualm with Jimmie Ward. At 5'11" and 192 pounds, he would be smaller than the average NFL safety, far from the enforcer and run supporter some teams seek over the middle. And yet his range and ball skills are ideal for a free safety, something scouts are starting to realize as they dig deeper.
Combined with Ward's good game film against high-level competition, like the 2013 Orange Bowl versus Florida State, the flaws are becoming less noticeable, per Mike Loyko of NEPatriotsDraft.com:
Doing #NIU Safety Jimmie Ward scouting report now. I gotta admit finding it real hard to spot many weaknesses. Has tools to be complete SAF— Mike Loyko (@NEPD_Loyko) February 7, 2014
Ward was named the top defensive back of the week at the Senior Bowl and looks like a second-rounder at this point. So long as he shows that his below-average strength is not a huge detriment at the combine, his coverage skills should carry him into the early rounds.
Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
Boyd should test well at the combine, and with 914 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground over the past two years, he fits the mold of the increasingly popular dual-threat quarterback. However, at the Senior Bowl, he did not demonstrate the necessary improvements with his arm.
Despite completing over 67 percent of his passes each of the past two seasons, Boyd has received criticism for his accuracy and ball placement from scouting sites like WalterFootball.com. That criticism has led to some fairly extreme statements from scouts, according to DraftInsider.net's Tony Pauline:
Packers scout "based on what I'm seeing Tahj Boyd is not draftable"— Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) January 20, 2014
Boyd may still sneak into the draft as a sixth- or seventh-round selection, but that is a far cry from the early-round buzz he had previously generated. For now, the ex-Clemson quarterback looks like a developmental prospect some team will need to stash away for a few years.
Adrian Hubbard, OLB, Alabama
Hubbard could have stayed in Tuscaloosa as a fifth-year senior, but he decided to declare a year early anyways. After an underwhelming Senior Bowl performance, it looks like the Crimson Tide linebacker made a poor decision that could prove highly deleterious to his draft stock.
Hubbard has earned the dreaded "tweener" label, as he possesses neither the skill set to fit as a 4-3 defensive end nor the fluidity and coverage ability to play linebacker. The excellent measurables and superior athleticism are nice at the college level, but as NFL.com's Bucky Brooks notes, that simply has not translate to impressive production or skills:
Although Hubbard has played outside linebacker in Alabama's 3-4 system, he isn't a dynamic pass rusher nor an explosive athlete in coverage. I've been surprised at his marginal first-step quickness and his lack of nuance with his pass-rush technique. Hubbard doesn't overwhelm blockers with outstanding speed and quickness. In addition, he also lacks the power to forklift opponents despite his exceptional length (6-6, 252 pounds).
An AFC South scout called Hubbard a "jack of all trades, but a master of none." For a player expected to be one of the headliners of the 2014 draft class, Hubbard's performance at the Senior Bowl has produced more questions than answers at this point.
Hubbard looks like a mid-round prospect at this point, even though he possesses Day 1 athleticism. Unless he demonstrates significant improvement in pass-rushing or pass-coverage skills, he will need plenty of seasoning before he emerges as a viable contributor.
Cyril Richardson, G, Baylor
Richardson was once tagged as one of the draft's top interior offensive lineman, but a poor Senior Bowl showing has taken some of the shine off.
His 6'5", 335-pound frame had many labeling Richardson as one of the draft's best run-blockers, a label he still retains. However, during Senior Bowl practices, he was beaten consistently by quicker defensive linemen in the passing game. The poor showing left many, like Bleacher Report's Matt Miller, disappointed:
Was pretty disappointed with Cyril Richardson this week. My expectations for his balance/lateral agility were too high.— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) January 26, 2014
Being outmatched in the passing game is a non-starter for an NFL starting lineman, and the plodding Richardson looked overmatched in Mobile, Ala. The up-tempo Baylor passing game built upon quick reads is beneficial not only to the quarterback, but to the linemen who protect for less time. As such, Richardson is probably a Day 2 or 3 pick at this point, a stunning fall for the ex-Bear.

On Aug. 11, 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 265 points, or 2.5%.
This Tuesday – almost exactly one year later – the Dow dropped … 265 points.
Those carbon-copy stock-market sell-offs weren’t a coincidence. – as yesterday’s (Thursday’s) 512-point drop and further weakness will prove.
Although the Dow is more than 700 points higher than it was at this time a year ago, U.S. stock prices are currently following virtually the same trading pattern that they did in 2010: Last year and again so far this year the early-year gains came to a halt in May, and the markets then fell through August.[ad#Google Adsense 336×280-IA]But here’s where the story gets scary.
Last year, the U.S. Federal Reserve halted the stock market’s summer swoon by opting for a second round of quantitative easing – an initiative most of us refer to as “QE2.”
A year later, even after a week heavy with stock-market sell-offs, there’s no guarantee we’ll see another Fed rescue mission. And this time around, without a massive injection of quantitative easing – the much-ballyhooed QE3 – it could finally be all over for the stock market.
Where the Stimulus Really Went
Stocks have endured a real beating in recent days – yesterday’s stock market sell-off was the worst one-day plunge in U.S. stock prices since December 2008.
When the Dow plunged 265 points on Tuesday, it was because of an unexpectedly large drop in the Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI). The 265-point August 2010 sell-off was precipitated by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s negative outlook on the American economy.
But both the August sell-offs were preceded by strong run-ups in stock prices. Those run-ups weren’t sparked by an improved economic outlook – which is how it usually works.
Instead, the bull market that powered U.S. stocks off their March 2009 bear-market lows was the result of the massive monetary stimulus put in place by Washington and the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The U.S. monetary stimulus – hundreds of trillions of dollars worth- went into banks and other financial institutions – and not into the economy.
That’s why stocks have benefited – even in the face of an economy in which growth has been lackluster, if not downright flat.
Generally, stock prices are a reflection of corporate profitability. Sometimes rising stock prices lead economic activity and sometimes price appreciation trails economic growth. But historically, stock prices don’t rise if the economy isn’t growing.
This time around, however, there was a “trickle-down” benefit that boosted stocks, but bypassed the economy.
The monetary stimulus trickled down from banks, where it was initially injected, onto corporate balance sheets. From there, thanks to a weakened U.S. dollar, the stimulus enhanced export-driven corporate profitability.
Lest you think this occurred by happenstance, let me assure you: This all happened by design.
The Ugly Truth About the American Banking System
Most U.S. banks were in dire straights and all of the too-big-to-fail banks (the largest banks in the U.S.) were insolvent as a result of the credit crisis that hit in 2008. Both the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve (which is run by bankers, essentially for banks) recognized that they had to save the banks at any and all costs – otherwise the U.S. economy and the global economy would collapse into a depression of catastrophic proportions.
Money was pumped into the financial system by means of several government and Federal Reserve programs. Interest rates were kept so low that the overnight rate that banks charge each other, which is engineered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was, and still is, at historic lows in the range of 0.00% to 0.25%.
With money borrowed at essentially no cost, banks bought risk-free U.S. Treasuries. The banks used the Treasuries they bought as collateral to borrow more money in the short-term “repo” markets. And with those additional borrowed funds, the banks bought even more Treasuries.
The interest that the banks collect on the Treasuries (which you and I as taxpayers are essentially paying) created a profitable “interest-rate spread” – the difference between the interest they earned on the bonds they held and the almost-interest-free “loans” they took out in order to leverage their balance sheets.
Banks play a key role in the U.S. economy. By lending money to the private sector, they make it possible for new companies to be formed and existing ones to grow – all of which creates jobs and helps the economy grow.
But banks aren’t lending to the public. Why should they? They make good, safe money on a risk-free basis running the Treasury-spread trade.
Besides, U.S. credit demand has been anemic.
Corporate America Joins the Party
Because interest rates are being held down at artificially low levels, corporations also turned to the bond market to borrow cheaply. In such a low-rate environment, fixed-income investors were forced to scramble for any additional yield they could get above that of U.S. Treasuries – meaning they were only too happy to oblige corporations by lending them money.
Corporate America was able to quickly retool its collective balance sheet, and now sits on about $2 trillion in “cash equivalents” – Treasury bills that companies use to make sure that they collect at least a tiny bit of interest.
The key direct consequence of this massive monetary stimulus has been a weak U.S. dollar. As the dollar falls in value, it makes U.S. exports cheaper on global markets.
That’s why corporations with healthy balance sheets and substantial overseas sales have been reporting great earnings. And it’s also why these corporate heavyweights – and many mid-sized companies, besides – have enjoyed a nice run-up in their share prices.
It doesn’t end there, either. When such strong stock-price gains are posted in a couple of sectors, investors turn to “underperforming” sectors to ferret out bargains, hoping to get in ahead of the inevitable share-price rebounds that result from the money that floods in after investors “rotate” out of fully priced stocks into their undervalued brethren.
One Long Stock-Market Sell-Off?
The bottom line is that the stock and bond markets have been big beneficiaries of the trickle-down policies of the Fed and the Treasury. This is exactly what Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said he wanted to see happen in order to stem the threat of deflation. It has been an articulated policy (except for any admission that they wanted to knock the dollar down – which, of course, they knew would happen).
That brings us to the state of the U.S. economy.
By this time you’ve no doubt heard the term “The New Normal.”
The New Normal – as espoused by PIMCO’s Mohamed A. El-Erian – is pictured as an American economy with a chronically anemic growth rate of 1.0% to 2.5%, and structural unemployment in the 8% to 9% range.
It’s not a pretty picture.
Already this year, first-quarter gross-domestic-product (GDP) growth was adjusted from an initial estimate of 1.9% all the way down to 0.4%. The second-quarter number just came in at 1.3% -well below the 1.9% rate analysts had been expecting.
It’s not just the GDP numbers that have been all over the place and slipping dangerously. Many other economic indicators and data points are turning down.
Investor sentiment and consumer confidence are at multiyear lows. Unemployment remains stubbornly high and is likely to rise. Private-sector employment has been horrible and new deficit-reduction plans will lead to reductions in government spending and layoffs in the historically stable government-jobs sector.
It’s no wonder, then, that when the Purchasing Manager’s Index came out on Tuesday at 50.9% (its lowest level since October 2008, and its first contraction since June 2009), already-skittish markets plunged. And they’ve continued to fall – as we saw with yesterday’s 4.78% plunge in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and 4.31% dive in the Dow.[ad#article-bottom]Just like last August, if the economy continues to falter, the markets will pay more attention to economic reports than to company-earnings reports – no matter how good those earnings reports might be.
And unless we get another round of stimulus – in whatever form we’re able to get it – the aborted stock-market sell-off of last August will come home to roost today.
As this week’s stock-market sell-off underscores, last summer’s QE2 rescue mission has only postponed the inevitable.
Investors better be defensive. The financial markets have been long overdue for a major correction. And without some new stimulus that actually makes sense for the economy – and doesn’t just pump up asset prices – the protracted stock-market sell-off that will carry us through autumn will forever be remembered as “The Fall.”

Budapest offers many public bath houses and we were definitely a bit nervous about going to one. But, when in Budapest a visit is a must.
Here are some tips to help should you be in a similar and nervous situation like us.
1. Check the Budapest Baths website for information on the many options. We chose Szechenyi Baths because it was closer, larger and most popular. We assumed correctly that it would also be easier to navigate.
2. Pack your own towel to prevent a rental fee, a change of clothes, sunscreen for the outdoor pools and flip flops. Most places have electronic bands you wear that also lock your locker, so you won't need a luggage lock.
3. Don't be fooled by the pretty girl at the front trying to sell an expensive spa package. Head to the counter to pay the cheapest fee of 4,500 Forint. As long as you don't need a private changing room (which you essentially will get anyway) you don't need the additional cost.
4. In Szechenyi, it is co-ed all the time. You enter a locker room and walk into a stall. The stall connects the entrance to the locker area. Close both doors and pull the seat down. This locks the door. Change and exit to find a locker for your things.
5. Rinse off. Showers are located on either side. Once rinsed, you enter the indoor portion of the baths.
6. The temperature is on a sign above each bath. One cold pool is available as your final plunge to refresh you.
Shower off, grab your towel and change in the stalls again and you've enjoyed your day at the baths!
Note: some baths allow outdoor food and photos, but check before you enter.

Irish oil worker among dozens 'kidnapped by al Qaida'
Published 16/01/2013 | 12:36
ISLAMIST militants attacked a gas field in Algeria today, claiming to have kidnapped up to 41 foreigners including an Irishman in a dawn raid in retaliation for France's intervention in Mali.
This evening the militants said they had been surrounded by security forces and warned any attempt to free the hostages would have a "tragic end" Mauritania's ANI news agency reported.
One of the kidnappers, reached by ANI, said the al Qaeda-affiliated group had placed mines around the installation where the hostages were seized.
However, Algeria ruled out negotiating with Islamists.
"The Algerian authorities will not respond to the demands of the terrorists and will not negotiate," said Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia.
The raiders were reported to have killed three people, including a Briton and a French national.
An al Qaida affiliated group said the raid had been carried out because of Algeria's decision to allow France to use its air space for attacks against Islamists in Mali, where French forces have been in action against al Qaeda-linked militants since last week.
Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore has called for the immediate release of the Irishman who was among the group taken hostage at a Swedish oil plant in Algeria.
The man is travelleing on an Irish passport and is understood to be a 36-year-old married man, from Northern Ireland, and was among Japanese, Norwegian, French and US nationals taken captive.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular assistance to the family of the man.
The attack in southern Algeria also raised fears that the French action in Mali could prompt further Islamist revenge attacks on Western targets in Africa, where al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) operates across borders in the Sahara desert, and in Europe.
AQIM said it had carried out Wednesday's raid on the In Amenas gas facility in Algeria, Mauritania's ANI news agency reported.
"The Government stands ready to use all the resources available to us to ensure that our citizen is released as soon as possible. I would ask that the family be allowed privacy at this difficult time," Mr Gilmore said.
In a statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs said: "The consular assistance unit in the department is providing consular assistance to the family and are in close contact with its international partners and a wide range of other contacts in order to establish the facts of the situation. At this stage, the identity and motives of the kidnappers is unknown."
The Algerian interior ministry said: "A terrorist group, heavily armed and using three vehicles, launched an attack this Wednesday at 5 a.m. against a Sonatrach base in Tigantourine, near In Amenas, about 100 km (60 miles) from the Algerian and Libyan border."
The gas field is operated by a joint venture including BP , Norwegian oil firm Statoil and Algerian state company Sonatrach.
BP said armed men were still occupying facilities at the gas field.
"The site was attacked and occupied by a group of unidentified armed people at about 0500 UK time. Contact with the site is extremely difficult, but we understand that armed individuals are still occupying the In Amenas operations site," it said.
Algeria's official APS news agency said a Briton and an Algerian security guard had been killed and seven people were injured including two foreigners. A French national was also killed in the attack, a local source said.
Also among those reported kidnapped by various sources were five Japanese nationals working for the Japanese engineering firm JGC Corp, a French national, an Irishman, a Norwegian and a number of Britons.
British Prime Minister David Cameron chaired a 45-minute meeting of Whitehall's Cobra emergency committee today, at which ministers were updated on the developing situation.
Speaking after the meeting, Mr Cameron's official spokesman said: "The ongoing incident has involved various nationalities, including several British nationals.
"We are working with BP to support the families of staff and provide consular assistance."

A POPULAR musician whose career spanned five decades has died after years battling a rare disease.
Robbie Heape, who was well known on the Plymouth music scene, passed away in his sleep in the early hours of last Friday morning, aged 67, with his wife Tina at his side.
Robbie, from Allerton Walk, in Eggbuckland, had been suffering from a rare cellular muscle-wasting illness, mitochondrial disease.
The father of five was the singer and front man of popular Seventies and Eighties rock band Canyon, but was robbed of his musical ability by the illness back in 2008.
The band enjoyed success in Plymouth, regularly packing out venues like The Ark Royal in Devonport, The Good Companions, The Ship at Elburton and The Breakwater.
Canyon even supported Whitesnake in 1978 when they played at local night club Castaways.
The band re-united for some gigs in the early 1990s when Robbie's son Jeff Heape joined his dad on stage to play guitar.
Such was the support for Robbie that his fellow band members reformed Canyon and held a gig in 2011 at the Voodoo Lounge to raise money for him.
The line-up included Robbie's friend, original Canyon bassist Alan Underwood who himself lost his battle with cancer only last month.
The efforts made by everyone at the gig were greatly appreciated by Robbie and his family.
More than 350 people turned up at the sold-out gig, showing just how popular Robbie was.
The money raised provided essential lifelines to Robbie who used the money to build a pathway in his front garden, so he could continue to go out, and an ultra light laptop that enabled him to keep in touch with friends and family.
Robbie began his music career in 1963 in the Senators at the tender age of 17 and played in many local bands including The Pacifics, The Backboards and The Drifters.
In 1975 he joined Hammerhead, which later became Canyon.
After Canyon disbanded in 1987 he formed a duo with his late friend and guitarist Eddie Heywood called Dream Machine, and later in 2004 formed Afterglow, a duo with keyboard player Malcolm Middleton, which performed more than 700 gigs in eight years.
He then gigged as a solo artist in and around Plymouth including regular slots at The Trot in Torpoint and The Kings Arms at Tamerton Foliot.
Robbie had no formal training and taught himself to play guitar and a number of other instruments.
But it was his singing voice which set him apart from his contemporaries.
Malcolm Middleton, who played keyboards alongside Robbie in Canyon and Afterglow said: "Robbie was a totally unique singer, nobody physically sang like him or sounded like him, he could sing any style of music from soft ballads to raunchy rock and he could hit all the notes."
Robbie also impressed friends and family in the way he handled his illness.
Son Jeff Heape said: "My dad was a top man and what a fighter.
"He gigged and worked until he couldn't stand upright.
"He was very brave and I'm proud of him."
Daughter Sue Coles said that her father was also a well-respected postman, working for the Post Office from 1962 to 2009, when he was forced to give up work due to ill health.
Sue said: "When his colleagues realised he was seriously ill they rallied around him providing much needed support.
"If it hadn't been for their help dad would have had to give up work much sooner.
"The support given to dad over these last few years has been overwhelming, from fundraising to visitors, and in particular the support given by neighbours in Eggbuckland where he lived.
"Dad's funeral will include songs sung by him and maybe even one of the many original songs he recorded.
"The congregation will be asked to sing along and so we are hoping they will bring their singing voices."
Robbie's funeral will be held at Weston Mill Crematorium on Wednesday, October 23 at 1pm.

DALLAS — As Democrats gather for their state convention, big-deal Democratic supporter Lisa Blue Baron is hosting a fundraiser for the Lone Star Project, which is directed by Matt Angle, an adviser to Sen. Wendy Davis who has long been active in pro-Democratic efforts in Texas.
Davis, the Fort Worth Democrat running for governor against GOP Attorney General Greg Abbott, was expected to make an appearance at the closed-to-media gathering at Baron’s home.
Angle said his group hoped to raise more than $250,000 at the party. Individual tickets cost $1,000, with prices ranging up to $25,000.
Baron is a Dallas lawyer whose husband was the late political guru Fred Baron, and her Dallas home has been the site of the sort of parties most folks can only dream of. Dallas Morning News political writer Gromer Jeffers Jr. mentioned in a blog earlier this year that he attended a Baron holiday party in December that featured Styx and Journey.

Baden-Baden is in Germany's Black Forest, as in the ham, and is well-known for its casino and healing thermal pools. Although we did enter the casino's foyer, we were neither dressed well enough nor willing to pay the €5 admission fee to enter into the gaming area, so we turned right back around without further investigation. We did, however, enjoy four glorious hours at the Caracalla Therme Baths.
I am absolutely sold on this charming mountain village. To be able to stumble out your front door and, within just a few feet, find yourself up in the hills, at castle ruins, drinking a Hefe and eating a brat? Heaven.

Barack Obama has only been President-elect for 36 hours, but seven major government reform groups are already making demands. In a joint press release Thursday morning, the Brennan Center for Justice, the Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, Democracy 21, the League of Women Voters, Public Citizen and US PIRG set out a "government integrity reform" agenda for the next Congress. And the groups are using Obama's own words to convince him to adopt their plans, pointing out that Obama campaigned on a promise to "fix Washington." Fixing Washington, they argue, means fixing campaign finance.
The reform groups are calling on Obama to repair the existing presidential public financing system and create a new public financing regimen for congress. But there's one problem: Obama's campaign is largely responsible for the presidential public financing system's collapse. Obama, who initially promised to "pursue an agreement" to opt in to the public financing system, instead became the first candidate to turn down public financing for the general election. That decision allowed Obama to dramatically outraise and outspend John McCain, his Republican opponent. McCain was limited to $84 million in public financing during the general election campaign, while Obama raised over $150 million in September alone. The day after the election, McCain aides cited Obama's spending advantage as one reason their man lost. But Obama did promise to fix the system. "I am firmly committed to reforming the system as president, so that it's viable in today's campaign climate," he said this summer. The reformers are now pushing Obama to make good on that vow.
"Senator Obama in June and then his campaign again just a few days ago made publicly clear that he is committed to fixing the presidential public financing system," says Fred Wertheimer, the president of Democracy 21. "We believe that Senator Obama will meet the commitment he made."
The reformers want to close finance "loopholes" such as joint fundraising committees and "hybrid ads", split with the national parties, that allow presidential candidates to circumvent contribution limits. They also want to strengthen the Federal Election Commission, and require candidates to disclose the names of "bundlers" who gather large numbers of donations.
Obama has supported campaign finance reform in the past. He was one of the cosponsors of a bill introduced late last year that would have matched small donations at four times their amount. Such a move would encourage candidates to focus on small donors over fat cats. The law also would have required presidential candidates to participate in the public financing system during the primary election for those candidates to be eligible for public general election funds.
Wertheimer says that reformers are not trying to undermine Obama's success with small donors. "The underlying principle here is to build on the phenomenal success Obama had in raising small donations on the internet. We want to put the small donor in the drivers seat for these campaigns," and "shift the whole focus to the small donor" and away from bundlers who can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in $2,300 donations.
"It's my own view that the extraordinary potential for the internet is the most important long term development for campaign finance that has come out of this election," Wertheimer continues. "Candidates can raise large sums from donations that are not influence seeking, with almost no cost. And it doesn't take [candidates'] time [and] involves citizens in the election." Wertheimer says that updated reform legislation based on the law Obama supported in 2007 will be introduced in the first days of the next Congress.
The reform groups are also calling on Obama to reinforce executive branch ethics rules, close loopholes in public corruption laws, and strengthen their enforcement.
Some Democrats, though, are going to be reluctant to do anything that might cut into the fundraising advantage their candidates had this cycle. Winning political parties often assume that they will always be able to raise more money than the other side. History suggests otherwise. And after all, a promise is a promise.

GLASSBORO – For those attending Thursday night’s Adam Taliaferro All-Star football game at Rowan University, Phil Iannella won’t be difficult to locate on the field.
The Pitman High School senior middle linebacker will be distinguishable by his size. It’s not that Iannella is overly huge. If fact just the opposite is true.
Iannella is listed at 5-foot-4, 160 pounds, but he admits to being 5-foot-2 and 140 pounds. He could easily be mistaken for a youth league player, but his abilities and heart far outweigh what he gives up in physical size.
“I love the sport and I love tackling,” said Iannella, who will be a member of the White team. “I don’t think height and weight really matter.”
He relies more on the intangibles of the game to make himself a viable player.
“I’m aggressive and I want to make the play,” Iannella said. “I want to win and I don’t want the other team to score on me. I don’t want the other team to win, so I do what I got to do.
“I was born 5-2, and I’m not going to let this stop me.”
Despite his lack of size, team coaches have been impressed with Iannella since the first day he reported to practice this week.
Rob Cormier, the Bishop Eustace head coach and the White team’s defensive coordinator, says Iannella puts everything he has out on the field.
“What stands out about him is his aggressiveness,” Cormier said. “He works hard and his has a motor. He’s always around the ball. He doesn't play like a 5-4 player. He plays like a football player.”
For his part, Iannella said he has never felt out of place among his bigger counterparts. He has learned that size doesn’t matter much if the game is approached with some mental toughness.
“I think every size and weight has its attributes to help them,” Iannella said. “I think I’ve learned use my size to my advantage, not let their size bring me down.”
He says his approach to the game begins with good conditioning.
“I work hard,” Iannella said. “I’ve got the heart to play every play even if I’m too tired to play. I think I show a lot of grit. I don’t care if a guy is 6-foot-5 or 5-foot-2, just like me. If he wants to battle, we can battle.”
While Iannella is expected to play linebacker in this game, he was quite versatile through the years he played at Pitman.
He has run the ball and played special teams as well as his work on defense. He has even played nose guard.
“The only time they subbed me out was at halftime,” he joked. “You can put me anywhere. I can play anywhere.”
He was not surprised when he got the invitation to play in such a prestigious all-star game.
“I work hard and I have decent stats,” he said. “I think I deserve to play in the game.”
One sad note for Iannella is that his senior season at Pitman proved to be the final time the school will field a varsity football team for at least two years.
With numbers dwindling down to below 20 players at the end of last season coach Chris Thomas decided to begin rebuilding the program by playing a JV schedule.
Iannella supports the decision to try to regroup.
“I think it’s a good thing,” he said. “I think Coach Thomas knows exactly what he’s going. He’s got a plan and he’s executing his plan well.
“I think getting the young guys a little more experience and a little more mature will help them by the time they’re ready to play varsity and get some wins.”
As it stands now Thursday’s game may be Iannella’s final game of organized football.
He has been accepted to study at at Rowan University, but no college has ever contacted him about continuing his football career.
Perhaps a good showing in this game might change some perceptions.

Near the Senate race's end, it could come down to a battle of bankrolls.
When James Webb announced his candidacy for the Senate in February, he was declared Sen. George Allen's "worst nightmare."
Now Webb could be facing a nightmare of his own.
"If we don't get drowned in dollars, it's going to be interesting," said Steve Jarding, who handles strategy for the Webb campaign. "And we're doing well in dollars lately."
That was displayed in Webb's most recent campaign buy, his first statewide effort, which was designed to match a $650,000-a-week blitz Allen embarked upon last week.
But when Allen can follow his own ad buy with two minutes on statewide television leading into Monday's prime time programming, it's clear that the Webb campaign is playing in another league.
The time, an impromptu purchase done over the weekend, cost Allen about $50,000 in all, according to Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager. The two-minute spots aired on WAVY-TV 10 in Hampton Roads and on four other stations across the state.
Robert E. Denton, who teaches political communications at Virginia Tech, said Monday that he understood Allen had about $10 million to work with in the final weeks. He said he also was told that the Webb campaign was averaging about $1 million a month since his primary victory over Harris Miller in June and had about $3 million on hand.
The next Federal Elections Commission reporting period ended Saturday, with reports due within two weeks.
Since the campaign began, Webb has said that he expected Allen to have about three times as much money for his re-election effort as Webb has to try to unseat him.
Webb's 30-second ad, which began airing Monday, is an endorsement by two military women and is designed to counter Allen's ad package condemning Webb for authoring a magazine article 27 years ago that said women didn't belong in service academies.
It combines with a previously aired ad tying Allen with President Bush and the war in Iraq. That ad will continue.
"We're matching them," said Webb spokesperson Kristian Denny Todd of the dollar value of the Webb package.
Going statewide is a step up for Webb, who has graduated from an Internet ad to a limited-market ad to statewide television in the past five weeks.
All summer, Webb spent most weekdays raising money and weekends campaigning, sometimes combining the two as he did in Charlottesville a week ago when he picked up about $125,000 by appearing with fellow authors Stephen King and John Grisham.
Webb continues fundraising today with an appearance in Alexandria with New York Sen. Hillary Clinton that is expected to net him about $25,000. A fund-raiser with former President Bill Clinton is slated for later this month.
Allen has his own high-profile fundraiser on Thursday night with Vice President Dick Cheney. *

If you're considering having a navy bedroom then you're not on your own. Indeed, grey bedrooms have ruled the roost for the last few years. However, the new kid on the block, the navy bedroom, is starting to come into it's own. If you think a navy bedroom could be a bit oppressive then think again. In fact, a navy bedroom can create a cocoon like den. What's more navy can be a calming colour which is perfect for the bedroom where relaxation should be paramount. Furthermore, navy can team with a number of different colours including the firm favourite grey.
If you're thinking of diving in with your paint brush then don't be afraid to paint all your walls navy. You might be concerned that this will create a bedroom that is too dark. However, if you take the plunge into the paint tin you could be pleasantly surprised. All navy walls create a dramatic effect that is surprisingly comforting. The other advantage of all navy walls is that it shows off art work beautifully. So if you're somebody who likes their walls to be a back drop to your art collection then you're on to a winner with navy walls.
However if you're a virgin to the dark side then you might want to dip your paintbrush in more gently. If this is the case then you might want to consider just painting an accent wall in navy. The wall that you're bed head rest against is the perfect solution. For a fresh modern look you could paint the remaining walls in white. Moreover if you're not ready to tear yourself away from greys then you could paint the rest of the room in a complimentary shade of grey.
If you want to create a statement in a navy bedroom then you might want to invest in a navy wallpaper. From art deco to wall murals there are oodles of navy wallpapers that would give a real wow factor. If you do decide to team a wallpaper with painted walls then make sure you get lots of testers pots first. Your wallpaper should blend effortlessly with the rest of the walls. A bit of preparation can help create a cohesive look that will make your bedroom a relaxing haven. For some great wallpapers you can visit this website here
If you want to keep your walls neutral then you could create a navy bedroom by introducing a navy bed and accessories. Here at Beds On Legs we offer a number of fabric beds that are available in navy. What's more a lot of our fabric beds come with the added advantage of hidden storage. Therefore these beds are not only easy on the eye but they're practical too!

|Love these two…|
When we found out we were having a girl, we were thrilled. Truthfully, I actually wanted a girl–although I suppose I shouldn’t admit that fact and should opt for the less superstition-inducing “I’d have been happy either way as long as it was healthy…” answer. Deep down I just never imagined myself as a mother to all boys, and so having a girl first was ideal. (Now I can honestly be happy regardless of our subsequent kids’ genders.)
I should confess that I have had a few moments of sadness for Ryan since we found out that we were having a girl. (Ryan would’ve been just as proud either way, but leaned toward “girl” since he knew it meant a lot to me.) As a man, I know he has always dreamt of being a Pop Warner coach, of passing down the Scout to a son, of teaching a boy how to treat a lady…and although he LOVES Emma Vance beyond measure, she simply isn’t able to fulfill those desires of his. I’ve never had any doubts that Ryan would adore her, but I do have to say that the relationship between them has been amazing to watch. I mean, he loves her. Like, loves her in a way that he could never feel about a son. He is her protector, her source for self-confidence, her first view of how a man should love her one day. In return, she gives him her whole, tiny heart without reservation. Although those desires for a father-son bond still exist, there’s a bond between E.V. and Ryan that’s on a completely different level.
As a mom, I’m privileged to a lot of experiences with E.V. that are just between us (and, yes, I am unashamed in my selfish adoration of those instances). Unfortunately, though Ryan may be nearby during those memorable moments, I know that it’s not the same as being in those moments. Truthfully, he’s the only other person that I want to share those precious experiences with, and it’s been difficult as he’s been unable to witness some of them simply due to circumstance. For example, we’ve realized during our time with her that she recognizes me as Mom, and that, due to nature’s order, she is more easily calmed by my presence. This means that when she’s irrationally upset and crying, it’s better for me to soothe her, so Ryan misses out on kissing her little tears away. (Which is both a saddening and joyful experience for me.) He does have his routine with her that allows him time to bond and care for her, but truthfully they aren’t the most satisfying of tasks (read: diaper changing…yuck) and have left us both wanting him to have even more meaningful time with her. Tonight, he got that chance…
Ryan gave Emma Vance her first bottle this evening. We’ve been meaning to get the whole bottle concept introduced for about a week now, but it’s been a little busy around here with Ryan’s work picking back up. Plus, we’ve never done this whole bottle thing before, so the logistics of the event caused us to procrastinate. However, this morning I realized that I’ve fed her over 150 times in the past three weeks, justifying my growing desire for a break.
We prepared the bottle, got Ryan all settled in the nursery with the rocking chair, Boppy and burp rag, and set E.V. down in his arms. Now what? I mean, I kinda’ feel like an old pro at the whole nursing thing by now, but bottles? No clue. Thankfully E.V. is super smart and took to it quickly, and although I’ve read that my presence could’ve messed up the whole bottle-feeding situation, I just couldn’t leave Ryan’s side. It was amazing. I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but feeding E.V. has been a major bonding experience where I’ve gotten to learn so much of who she is, and now Ryan gets to experience the same thing. Since she didn’t have any difficulty, I did give them a little privacy once she was settled, and hearing him talk afterwards about all of the cute, little things that she does while eating melted my heart. He has loved and adored her since Day One, but now he’s going to have the opportunity to know her on a deeper level, and that is the most satisfying thought to me.
While he fed her and I did the nightly dishes in the kitchen, I couldn’t help but think of this as their first Daddy/Daughter Date. Exactly how many more special events in her life she’ll share with just Ryan, I’m not sure, but tonight we began a really important tradition, which makes me a little weepy. I can just imagine them going to get ice cream, at the Valentine’s dance, having tea parties… There is a bond between a daughter and her father that cannot be replicated in any other relationship, and tonight I thanked God for a great start to theirs.

It was decided to reactivate F terminal at Boryspil airport for the low-costers and charter air carriers since April 2019. Pavlo Ryabikin, the Director General of the airport claimed this as Avianews.com. reported.
"F terminal provides the possibility of the pedestrian technologies really loved by the low-cost air companies. At E terminal it is decided easier, so, I think, during a year it will get the high turnover," Ryabikin said.
At the moment, only D terminal is used for the passenger handling at Boryspil airport. B terminal built in 1965 and significantly expanded in 2006-2011 was closed in 2014 and F terminal built in 2010 stopped its work in 2013.
On September 3, it was reported that the first flight of Irish low-cost Ryanair Kyiv (Boryspil) – Berlin (Schonefeld) took off fromn Boryspil International Airport.
As we reported today the administrations of Boryspil and Lviv airports signed the agreements on the start of operation of Irish low-cost Ryanair Company. It is expected that the flights from Kyiv and Lviv will take place in October 2018 and Ryanair will transport around one million passengers, including 40% of the Europeans during the first year of the work.

Although the process of buying a house will generally be the same as the process of buying a condo or another property for that matter, especially once you reach that final purchasing stage, the truth is that there are also a lot of differences that you should be aware of here. Basically, the types of properties are different and so are the processes of searching for them and making your purchase. For instance, a condo is a place where you’ll probably have adjoining walls with your neighbors, and this is an issue that you won’t even have to consider or think about when buying, for example, a house.
Here’s what you should know if you decide to buy a condo: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/what-to-know-buying-a-condo/
Even though the issues that will have to be considered in the process of buying a condo are different than the ones you’ll need to keep in mind when buying a home, the truth is that some core steps of the process will remain the same, but we will get to that in a moment. First, I need to mention that there are undeniably quite a lot of benefits to buying this type of property. For one thing, these are usually quite less expensive than houses, and the maintenance process is also less costly.
In addition to that, people often buy these properties with the aim of reselling them or renting them out, meaning that they can be the perfect investment opportunity. Of course, there is nothing wrong with living in a condo either, just as long as you find that it fits in with your entire lifestyle. And, the great thing is that you can rather easily sell this property in case you decide to make some changes, because they do sell fast and they are quite in demand.
Apart from the benefits, you should also be aware of some of the struggles that you might face in the process. The most significant thing to remember is that getting a loan might be more difficult when buying a condo because the lenders might have some special requirements. Yet, despite those challenges, you’ll certainly be able to complete the process if you simply take the right steps.
Anyway, before you can even start the actual purchasing process, you will need to find the condo in Miami that you want to buy. This can be a complicated process in itself, especially if you have no experience doing it. Well, I can certainly understand if you might be struggling with this right now, which is why I have decided to be of some help. In short, what I am going to do is give you some tips that will help you find great Miami condos for sale and thus start your buying process. Without any further ado, let us get started.
Check Listing Websites
The great thing about the Internet is that it has made a lot of things rather accessible to everyone. Of course, there are a lot of great things about the Internet, but this is the one that matters to us right now, which is why I have singled it out. Back in the day, you certainly didn’t have the opportunity to grab your smart device and start looking at Miami condos for sale in just a few clicks. Nowadays, though, you do have such an opportunity, so make sure to use it.
If you’re wondering how you can use this opportunity, let me cut right to the chase and give you the explanation you need. To put it simply, what you have to do is check those websites, such as the one provided to you by Josh Stein and other professionals, that will be filled with Miami property listings. If you want to make your research even simpler, then you should add a filter to the search query and look for nothing but condos in Miami. Once you’ve found those sites and entered your query, you’ll have a lot of listings to go through, and you should remember the ones you’ll find interesting.
Hire A Realtor
We are all so used to trying to do things alone, but that certainly isn’t a good strategy when it comes to buying condos in Miami. In fact, it isn’t a good strategy when buying any kind of property. Yet, for some reason, it can be difficult for people to admit that they need help with this process, which leads to them struggling to find what they are looking for and ending up with one failure after another. Eventually, those people get tired of trying to do everything alone and they decide to get help.
If you ask me, you should get help right from the start. In different words, you should hire a realtor that will help you find the perfect condos in Miami without you having to experience any frustration in the process. Finding the right property can be a nightmare, but things are bound to get much easier with the help of these professionals such as Josh Stein and other real estate experts. Click this to get some more condo buying tips.
But Make Sure To Hire A Good One
Now, while you get that hiring a realtor is the right thing to do and that those professionals will be of great help in the entire process, here is one thing that you might not really understand. In short, not all realtors are the same, meaning that you should do your best to find and hire a great one for you. How can you do that, however? Well, you’ll definitely have to do a lot of research.
Start by checking out the official websites of Josh Stein and all the realtors that you are considering for hire, and check what it is precise that they can offer you. Most of these professionals will offer different types of services, but there is a chance that this particular step will help you filter those candidates out and be left with the ones you like. Of course, you should also take any time you need to check the level of experience and the reputation of these experts. That will be of even greater help when it comes to the filtering out process. Lastly, you should interview the candidates you’re left with, in an effort to determine which one would be best to help you buy the perfect condo in Miami.
Convey Your Requirements To The Pros
Once you have decided to work with Josh Stein or another realtor, things are bound to get easier. Instead of having to scroll through pages and pages of listings that won’t quite offer you what you need, here is what you should do. Simply convey your requirements to the professionals in terms of what it is that you want to find and what type of condo you want to purchase in Miami.
After you’ve done that, all you need to do is let these pros do their job. You, on the other hand, will be able to sit back, relax, and let the condos come to you instead of chasing those listings. Whether you hire Josh Stein or a different great realtor, you can rest assured that they will come to you with the perfect buying opportunities and you’ll be able to decide whether you want to grab those or not. They’ll always have your requirements in mind, meaning that they will find you a great property.

If you follow Chipotle (NYSE:CMG), you've probably heard about its ShopHouse concept, an Asian restaurant built on the Chipotle model. After 14 months, the company is ready to open up two more of these stores. Rex Moore visited the Washington, D.C., location and talked with the man responsible for the ShopHouse idea. In this sixth video of our multipart series, find out one of the biggest challenges management faces in staying true to the Chipotle brand. (See all parts of the series linked below the video.)
Chipotle's stock price has been under pressure lately. Hedge fund manager David Einhorn not only contends that Taco Bell's new menu poses a threat, but also that the burrito king is overvalued. Indeed, competitors as diverse as Wendy's (Nasdaq: WEN), Buffalo Wild Wings (Nasdaq: BWLD), Panera (Nasdaq: PNRA), and Chuy's (Nasdaq: CHUY) have easily outperformed Chipotle over the past few months and carry lower valuations.

Any time you're planning an outdoor event, there's going to be a question of what sort of food and drinks you'll be providing. And one of the big questions concerning food and drinks is how you plan to keep them cool until people are ready to eat. If it's an especially large event, then you'll probably have it catered and the catering service can worry about keeping everything fresh. But when it's a small event (maybe just your immediate department or team), then it will be up to you. The easiest way to keep food fresh and drinks cold is to store them in a cooler, but what sort of cooler? A lot of coolers are heavy, bulky things that are not only difficult to carry around, but also difficult to store when they're not being used. Fortunately, we have something better available.

Millions of UK households are battling their energy suppliers, with common complaints ranging from providers issuing gigantic bills after failing to take payment, to confusion over complex tariffs.
The number of complaints about energy firms increased by 16% in the year to April compared with the previous year, according to figures given to The Observer by the Energy Ombudsman. Yet suppliers continue to benefit from price rises and soaring profits. The average annual dual fuel bill is now just under an eye-watering £1,400 a year, according to comparison website uSwitch.com.
Two suppliers to come under fire recently include First Utility, which announced an 18.6% price rise for its most popular tariff, taking effect yesterday, and Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) which announced last month a near 30% rise in profits from its retail customers while it failed to freeze gas and electricity prices.
So what can you do if you have a problem with your energy supplier? Here Cash takes a look at some common energy bill issues and what your rights are if you find yourself suffering from one of them.
Your account is in credit
Research by price comparison website Gocompare.com found last month that almost half of UK households are owed £78.50 on average by their energy supplier, while one in five has a credit balance of £100 or more. Typically, this is down to setting up a direct debit, which can help manage household bills by smoothing out seasonal variations in usage, but also results in a sizeable surplus when the heating is turned off.
Ofgem says consumers can ask for a refund of any surplus they've paid at any time. However, suppliers differ in how they deal with it.
According to Ian Peter, head of residential energy at British Gas, if you are more than £100 in credit at the end of your 12-month plan and you've given a recent meter reading, that sum will automatically be refunded. In comparison, npower will automatically refund direct debit customers who are more than £60 in credit at an annual review, while E.ON will do so if you are just £5 in credit.
Be careful about requesting a refund or a reduction of your monthly direct debit. This sum could be put towards future energy use, and you don't want to find yourself on the opposite end of the spectrum and in debt to your supplier by underpaying.
You receive a sudden demand for unbilled energy usage
This is a common issue for consumers struggling to make ends meet, who find they are suddenly landed with a hefty energy bill after a period when their provider failed to take payment. Ofgem has a factsheet with Consumer Futures (previously Consumer Focus) and Energy UK on this issue of "back-billing". If your supplier is at fault it should not demand payment for unbilled energy used more than 12 months before the error was detected.
However, each case is considered on an individual basis. The "back-billing rule" will apply when, for example, your supplier hasn't acted on a query or fault you've raised regarding your account and a large debt has built up as a result. Or it failed to bill you even though you have requested a bill.
Matthew Fudge, 39, a project manager for the BBC who lives in the London district of Norwood, switched his gas and electricity supply to EDF at the end of September last year. He says: "To date I have received one gas bill and no electricity bills. I have contacted EDF numerous times and been assured it would be sorted out, but I'm still waiting."
After a few months he was told this was because the supply had been "erroneously transferred" to another supplier and that this would be resolved. "I've not heard anything since, and that was in February – while I am happy to never pay a bill again, I don't really know what to do now."
EDF says the bills weren't produced because of a "system error" which has now been rectified. It has apologised and offered a goodwill gesture of £75.
You receive a bill based on estimated usage
A quarter of households have been billed incorrectly by their energy company in the past two years, according to uSwitch.com, with the number who owed money to an energy supplier following a discrepancy between an estimated bill and a real bill increasing to almost 10m last year.
Joe Malinowski, founder of energy comparison website TheEnergyShop.com, says: "Some suppliers are worse than others when it comes to reviewing customers' accounts to ensure that direct debit payments accurately reflect energy being used. In a worst-case scenario you could find yourself in a situation where you have a big debt on your account that you cannot afford to pay. So be sure to check your bills when they arrive. You should check that estimated meter readings are not too far from actual readings, and that you are not building either a large credit or a large debit on your account."
If you still owe money at the end of the payment year, some companies may deduct this as a lump sum from your direct debit account, while others may be willing to spread the debt over the next year.
However, you're entitled to ask for a repayment plan to be set up – and if your direct debit amount needs changing, your supplier must explain why.
It is important that you regularly supply meter readings to avoid bill headaches. By doing this four times a year, you can help improve the accuracy of your bills to break the cycle of estimated bills, which often leads to debt.
You have a faulty prepayment meter
Some people prefer using a prepayment meter as it helps them budget, while others are forced to use this system if they fail a provider's credit check and are considered at risk of falling into debt. Others may already be in debt to their supplier, and have been switched to a meter with any credit added going partly towards the existing debt and partly towards the energy they are going to use.
In some cases, consumers find that the meter the supplier fits is faulty – the screen may be blank or show an error message, for example. A spokesman for Ofgem says: "The supplier is obligated to supply information on how a customer can obtain assistance if a prepayment meter is not operating effectively, including details of timescales for removal and resetting of the meter if that action is necessary."
How to complain
If you face problems with your energy bills, the first step is to contact your supplier to discuss your options. You can also contact Citizens Advice for guidance on 08454 040506. Customers can take their complaints to the energy ombudsman for free, but only if it remains unsolved after eight weeks or the supplier sends a deadlock letter saying it can do no more.
Try the small suppliers
Smaller supplier Spark Energy was referred by Consumer Futures to watchdog Ofgem last month following a flood of complaints.
However, some energy firm minnows are worth considering for consumers seeking good service. The Which? Switch energy satisfaction survey revealed that smaller energy companies such as Good Energy were rated higher than the big six suppliers.
Giants npower and EDF came bottom of the table scoring 39% and 46% respectively, while Good Energy came top with an overall score of 85%. Other small suppliers who scored well for customer satisfaction included Ecotricity, Ebico, Utility Warehouse, Ovo Energy and Co-operative Energy.
Nevertheless, unfounded fear is holding consumers back from switching to smaller suppliers, with research from uSwitch.com showing that only 56% of energy customers would transfer to a company outside of the big six – just 4% more than last year.
Yet smaller suppliers can also offer competitive prices. For example, for a dual fuel deal for an "average" user – 3,300 kWh electricity and 16,500 kWh gas per year – living in Cardiff, Gocompare.com found that new small supplier Flow Energy was the cheapest.

LXer Day Desk: The newest “Get the Facts” report
Note: You can find the full report of the study here(“Reliability: Analysing solution uptime as business needs change”). Though I did my best to represent facts and be unbiased in this article, I strongly advise and encourage you to read the report carefully for yourself before judging it. Please note, not the whole report is covered in this article.
The title of the press release is, as almost always with the Get the Facts campaign, wrong. The study only researched Suse, and Suse is not the same as Linux.
The press release two days ago mentioned Secure Innovations (from now on abbreviated as SI) as an independent provider of application security services. How independent is independent in Microsofts (from now on abbreviated as MS) definition?
At the SI site, we read: “Security Innovation is a certified Microsoft partner for security services. We have both the Microsoft SWI and ACE certifications as an authorized professional services provider for Microsoft technologies.”
And further on: “Dozens of leading organizations, including IBM, ING, Microsoft, SAP, Symantec, Google, VeriSign and a number of government agencies, rely on Security Innovation’s expertise in application security testing and training to develop, evaluate and deploy more secure applications.”
This means, MS is a client of SI, and SI is a certified MS partner. MS is even the first partner on the list. On the other hand, Novell isn't mentioned as a partner or client. For that reason, bashing Suse will get SI in less trouble than bashing Windows.
At page 6, at the acknowledgements, we find:
“This research and our analysis were funded under a research contract from Microsoft. As part of the agreement, we have complete editorial control over all research and analysis presented in this report.”
No matter if MS influenced the research or not, if the research has an outcome which favours Suse over Windows, Microsoft won't pay SI for any new researches. So one may ask about the independence of SI in making this report.
The research was about a simulation of a growing e-commerce application. During a year, three administrators used Windows, and three others used Suse to manage this application, while requirements grew. Now, how relevant is it, to judge the stability of an e-commerce solution based on the experiences of only six sysadmins? The report helps us out: (p35, conclusions, 2nd paragraph, end of 5th line)
“While the sample size of administrators was too small to provide conclusive statistic comparison, the results highlight some off the fundamental differences in the Windows and Linux models.”
For this e-commerce solution on Suse and Windows, third party software was used. The most important thing when doing research, is reproducibility. This means specifying the methods and material used as precise as possible. To quote Ph. D. Thompson from the press release: "Security Innovation designed this study to be repeatable”.
Nonetheless, Appendix 5 states (3d paragraph, 4th line):
“The specific 3rd party vendors are not disclosed, because the focus of the study is the methodology and not a specific component.”
But if I take two sponges, put soap on one and mud on the other, and use them both according the same methodology to cleanse my window, everyone understands the results may differ due to the components used. The report states that the 3rd party components were chosen based on their market leadership in their respective fields, but nobody can verify this.
Though appendices 3 and 4 list possible IT certifications the sysadmins participating in this study might have, this study doesn't mention anywhere, which certifications the participants have. Their competences and history in IT-business is also left out, and the study doesn't mention for how long this people have worked on the Linux / Windows platform, and what the actual jobs of this people was/is. This makes the study even harder to reproduce. Moreover, the study doesn't mention a maximum experience with the software, though it does mention a minimum experience. The minimum for “e-commerce experience” in this study was 2 years on a minimum of 20 servers, but this could mean the Linux sysadmin has 2 years experience with 20 servers, while the Windows sysadmin has 10 experience with 200 servers.
The study shows, Suse needed more patching than Windows. The software included in the 'initial state (S1) setup' wasn't included however, which could mean, more applications were included on the Suse-platform then on the Windows-platform. The study also doesn't tell us if one of the platforms was optimized. In the past, it happened that a 'Get the Facts' report compared a optimized Windows platform against a non-optimized Linux platform, so this lacking information is important.
Lacking info about the sysadmins
Also, the names and contact information of the sysadmins isn't included. Now, SI will probably claim this is for privacy reasons, and the participating sysadmins aren't paid to answer questions anyone might have about this report. But it is a missed opportunity to prevent conspiracy theories. Because, we can't verify if this participants even exist in the real world, which means, we are not able to verify if there were real participants in this study at all. This could raise theories about the study not being done at all, and the report just being made up by its author.
If we compare Windows Administrators Requirements (appendix 3) with the Linux Administrators Requirements (appendix 4), there are some strange differences in the years of experience required. For example, SI looked for at least 4-5 years experience on Windows (page 41, General IT background, second requirement), while they looked for at least 2 years on Linux (page 43, General IT background, second requirement ).
The technical parts of the study focusses on dependency problems the Linux sysadmins encounter, while the Windows administrators don't encounter this problems. The study fails to mention,Windows 2000 may have dependency problems too. Anyway, the Linux-sysadmins faced problems because an 'updated enhanced search solution they needed' needed a newer version of glibc, which broke RPM and finally their whole platform. The study states they couldn't update MySQL using Yast, which sounds strange, but I won't go into this in detail since my lack of knowledge about this matter.
But lets focus on something else. One of the Windows sysadmins had an issue with third party software, and contacted the vendor, after which the issue was solved (p33, 3d line). On the other hand, the Linux sysadmins, facing more problems, didn't contact the vendor of the search-application, and neither contacted Suse about this issue. This would have been a nice moment to upgrade to SLES 9, but they didn't, and broke their RPM tool. Two of the platforms were 'unrecoverable'. This is a strange idea, since any Linux sysadmin would make a backup before updating glibc, and after that, could use a LiveCD to recover the server and put all files back the way it was before updating. Since updating glibc is something 'large' in Linux, it could better be compared to installing a service-pack for Windows. As anyone probably knows, this always gives issues and solution-downtime too, so the comparison made in this study isn't that fair.
Facts of this study were distorted in the MS press release about it. The independence of the company committing this study, Security Innovations, is at least questionable. The sample size of administrators was too small to provide conclusive statistic comparison. The report provided far too less details too reproduce this study. System administrator requirements for Linux and Windows varied, and any information about the sysadmins isn't given. Sysadmin contact information wasn't included, and therefore, results can't be verified. Linux sysadministrators reacted a bit strange to the problems they encountered, and the comparison wasn't really fair, while it compared two updates of a different order.
Therefore, this report is not really useful to base decisions upon, and if it was, only useful in very limited situations for very limited goals. One should read the story very critical before judging reliability of Windows compared to Suse. I also suggest taking a look at the Lxer migration list (sorted on distro, starting at Suse from halfway, continuing on the next pages). The list provide links to articles about, amongst others things, Novell (Suse) sucess stories, which includes companies telling why, for their companies, Suse works better than Windows.

SINGAPORE - In the next five years, Singapore's economy is expected to grow by 2 per cent to 4 per cent per annum on average, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said on Tuesday.
The government had previously envisaged growth of 3-5 per cent per annum for the decade as a whole.
The lower forecast range was first announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on April 29, at NTUC's May Day dinner.
"The revised medium-term growth forecast range takes into account downside risks arising from an uncertain global economic environment, as well as the expected slowdown in resident workforce growth due to our ageing population," MTI permanent secretary Ow Foong Pheng said at the release of Singapore's first quarter GDP data.
The Singapore economy grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.4 per cent from 2009 to 2014, driven by both workforce growth (3.8 per cent) and productivity growth (2.5 per cent).
But resident workforce growth will drop to an average of 20,000 per year towards the end of the decade, a sharp slowdown from the growth of 66,000 on average in the last five years, MTI said.
To achieve growth of 2 per cent to 4 per cent per annum, economic restructuring and innovation will be the focus to raise productivity, it said.
Productivity growth is crucial to achieve sustainable economic growth as workforce growth slows. This will help to overcome constraints of a tight labour market and raise income levels of Singaporeans.

The adventure travel community is a generous bunch.
Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of adventure travel companies build some sort of public service component or opportunity to give back to the communities within which they work. But giving begins at home, and these same companies often instill that commitment of public service within their own businesses, encouraging employees to donate time, effort, and money to organizations and initiatives within the communities they are based.
We’re excited to share just a few of the many homegrown initiatives in which Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) members participate. For those companies in need of ideas for giving back to their local communities, consider this your inspirational guide!
- In June of this year, Turisme de Barcelona staff and others from local businesses working in the tourism sector picked up more than 120 kilograms of garbage along the coastline of Nova Icària Beach.
- ROW Adventures, which operates in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and Spokane, Washington, areas, holds an annual Raft for the Cure excursion, which raises $3,000-$5,000 a year for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. A similar initiative, Raft to Remember, raises awareness and money for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Icelandic Mountain Guides recently adopted a piece of land near Esja, a mountain in the Reykjavik area, where office staff planted 867 trees in May of this year. The company plans to place benches there as well.
- On two recent company-sponsored volunteer days (one in October 2016 and one in May 2017), Natural Habitat Adventures employees rolled up their sleeves and helped finish work for several thousand feet of a new recreational trail near the company’s headquarters in Boulder County, Colorado. The entire trail loop is scheduled to open for the community by the end of the summer.
- At Atali Ganga in India, staff at the resort help look after four local schools in the neighborhood by regularly assisting with infrastructure issues and providing clean water and laptops for the students.
- Staff and guides at AmeriCan Adventures, based in Santa Rosa, California, participate in a quarterly Santa Rosa Creek clean-up. In February 2017, they removed approximately 25 30-gallon garbage bags worth of waste. Additionally, AmeriCan Adventures has raised more than $40,000 and donated more than 50 volunteer hours for Bay Area Wilderness Training, which aims to create equitable access to outdoor experiences for youth of color and low-income youth.
- Each of the hotels in the explora portfolio has different community initiatives. For example, in Atacama, Chile, guides teach English in local schools, and on Easter Island, the hotel hosts learning experiences for local school children.
- In Fort Collins, Colorado, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours staff hosts, and volunteers at, one of the 35 Bike To Work Day breakfast stations, which they’ve been doing for more than 10 years. The company also staffs a BikeMS rest stop for an annual 150-mile charity ride for multiple sclerosis.
- On any given day at Explore!, there are fun runs, sweepstakes competitions, and donation drives for a wide range of local charities and projects. Each month, an internal team chooses a local charity it wants to support and inspires the rest of the company to become involved by doing things such as donating toys or Easter eggs to local hospices, towels and sheets for animal shelters, and food for the homeless.
- In May, Mountain Travel Sobek staff went to Pinnacles National Park to weed out invasive plant species and collect wildflower seeds. Team members also assisted with a landscaping project in the gardens near Lake Merritt.
- In addition to being a generous fund-raising company, staff members at Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International have assisted with trail and route work in Rainier National Park, Mt. Baker National Park, and the North Cascades.
- Because Quixote Expeditions is one of the only tour operators with regular trips to Isla de los Estados in Argentina, the company organizes a trash clean up with staff and passengers in the Provincial Nature Reserve on every trip. Because of the wind and waves, there is always trash to pick up, but there is far less trash every time they make the trek to the south side of the island.
- Say Hueque has an internal philanthropic committee that oversees several projects in Buenos Aires, Argentina, every year, often in partnership with other local organizations. One project, for example, involved helping developing 41 community kitchens, help centers, and other safe and encouraging environments where children and teens can freely express themselves. The organization has also arranged city tours for orphaned children, put on plays and theater productions for kids, delivered hot soup to community members in need, and put in hours of labor to build houses for local families.
- Sydney-based World Nomads offers its employees an opportunity to have pre-taxed income taken out of their paychecks for charity, which is then matched by the company. Some of the organizations that receive the money are locally based, such as Save the Children, which hosted a youth block party where staff members volunteered. They’ve also volunteered their time to work in Save the Children charity shops.
- Staff at Wildland Adventures donates staff time and funds to purchase items to help furnish homes for refugee families that have recently arrived in the Seattle area. Working with World Relief Seattle, the staff breaks into teams to purchase household and personal items for incoming families, who often arrive at Sea-Tac Airport with few belongings, a difficult past, and high hopes for the future.
How do you give back? Share how your company contributes to your community in the comments below. The ATTA firmly believes we all inspire each other. You never know when your actions may spark innovative ways of doing good somewhere else in the world.

Our Cleaning Tips to Reduce Allergies and Asthma
The spring season means warmer weather, sunnier days, and blooming plants.
However, springtime can also mean weeks of sneezing and sniffling for allergy sufferers. Allergens and asthma triggers are usually associated with the outdoors — especially during the springtime — but indoor allergens can also exist inside your home.
Keeping your home clean can help with allergy reduction and handling your asthma triggers. Some cleaning habits will be more helpful than others.
As a general practice:
- Be mindful of overly-scented cleaning products that could irritate your allergies.
- Leave your shoes at the door so allergens don’t get brought into your home.
- Use your air conditioner instead of opening windows in the warmer months to lessen the chances of bringing mold into your home.
- Dry your clothes in the dryer instead of air-drying them outside. Air-dried clothes can pick up pollen.
Spring time is a beautiful time. Everything is growing, and the world seems newer.
With these cleaning tips, you can enjoy the season with the confidence to prevent dust and allergies inside your home.
Cleaning Tips to Reduce Allergies and Asthma
Table of Contents
Best Tools for Removing Allergens: Vacuuming
There is no better tool to clean your floors and carpets than a vacuum, but the type of vacuum you use may be more important than you think!
Choose a vacuum with a small-particle or high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
Regular vacuums sometimes allow allergens, pet dander, or other particles to escape the filter and be released into the air. A HEPA filter, on the other hand, removes 99.97% of dust, bacteria, and other particles.
However, vacuums with HEPA filters do not guarantee accurate HEPA results, so be wary if you plan to shop for one.
To ensure you’re choosing a true HEPA vacuum, scan for its serial numbers and confirm the test results printed on the filter reads that the filter traps 99.97% of 0.3 microns.
It is best to vacuum carpeted floors weekly. An effective vacuum can be a fantastic tool in making your home a haven where allergies are not welcome!
Air Purifying Your Home
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends your home be well-ventilated to improve indoor air quality.
Although attempting to get rid of the allergen is often the best way to curb a flare-up, air purifiers can help too.
Air purifiers capture indoor allergens before dispersing clean air back throughout your home.
The particles air purifiers trap are often allergens, dust, or other irritants that can trigger an asthma attack, such as smoke and pet dander.
If you choose to purchase an air purifier, you may want to consider several factors, including its efficiency and certification, as well as the size of your room.

Consider this property advertisement: “A 2-bedroom-hall-kitchen apartment in New Cochin for just Rs.7.99 lakh. And not just that you will get a home loan of 80% for the property.” Sounds attractive, doesn’t it? No wonder thousands, including non-resident Indians (NRIs), fell for it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge property scam and investors lost close to Rs.1,000 crore, according to various newspaper reports. The advertisement—posted online by Kerala-based developer Apple a Day—promised villas and apartments in the heart of Cochin at attractive rates. What went in favour of the developer were a couple of completed projects.
This particular property scam broke in 2011, but property buying, especially for NRIs, remains challenging even now, considering that the real estate market remains largely unregulated and cases of fraud abound. Here are three red flags you should watch out for before putting in your money.
Red flag one: sounds too good to be true
An inherent characteristic of a scam is that it will promise unreal returns or “exciting” offers. Instead of getting excited about it, become extra careful. Take the example of the Apple a Day offer mentioned earlier. All those who paid Apple a Day the money to book their apartments are still fighting to get it back. So remember that a good offer doesn’t necessarily mean that you should opt for it. As it is in the case of all investments, quick and big returns should always be looked at with caution.
Red flag two: builder is in a tearing hurry
Is your builder in a hurry to close the deal? A developer or builder who has intentions to cheat will show an urgency to sell the property and will encourage you to make the downpayment right away. Some may even offer a price that is below actual market prices.
Shankar Nambiar, an NRI from Dubai, paid Rs.10 lakh to Apple a Day as the initial amount for an apartment that cost Rs.20 lakh. He is now fighting to get his money back.
“This is common among most scams. Would-be victims are warned of dire consequences or the loss of a good deal if they don’t respond right away or take too long to read paperwork or even fail to send money,” says Vinod Sampat, a Mumbai-based lawyer.
Red flag three: no clarity on documentation
In a genuine transaction, you will have to sign a set of documents, including title deeds, agreement of sale and so on to legitimatize the deal. Fraudsters, however, will urge you to go ahead and send them the money without signing any paperwork. “They will tell you that the paperwork will get processed in due time. However, they will never appear,” says Sampat.
Jehangir Gai, a Mumbai-based consumer activist, says that inspection of the records of the builder is equally important and that can happen only if you insist on the paperwork. “You should check if the property is mortgaged or any kind of loan has been taken against the property.”
Gai says that if the developer shows signs of apprehension in showing you the papers related to the property, then it should be a signal for you that there is something amiss. There are letters of approval from local authorities, clearance certificates, registration certificates and so on to check the authenticity of a project. You should also check if there is any past litigation against the builder.
Many small developers, especially in non-metro cities, may not have the necessary approvals or documents for the property that they are selling.
Physical distance puts you at a disadvantage since you may not be able to check the property site or visit the developer’s office. So it bodes well to do a thorough check: carry out the required due diligence and undertake a bit of research, focusing mainly on previous projects and current online commentaries about the developer.

Does High-Stakes Testing Mean High-Stakes Cheating?
By Naomi Dillon
Weighing in at a hefty 171 pages, the report commissioned by the Georgia Governor’s Office of Special Investigators hardly constitutes as a light read, but it’s riveting nonetheless. Released amid a string of scorching summer days in July, the exhaustive inquiry provided painstaking detail of what many had long suspected: Atlanta Public Schools testing gains were too good to be true.
Led by a team of former state prosecutors, the state probe included more than 2,100 testimonies and 800,000 documents over a 10 month-period. It cited evidence of test collusion at 44 of the district’s 100 schools. Adults, not students, were the perpetrators, with 178 educators implicated, nearly half of whom would later confess.
In the spring, before news of the Atlanta cheating scandal broke, USA Today published an investigative series that identified at least 1,610 instances of test results across six states and the District of Columbia that were so improbable they smacked of manipulation. Since then, allegations of suspicious test scores have popped up like wildfire across the country in school districts in Pennsylvania, New York, California, and others.
“There’s no incentive under the current system to really vigorously pursue questioning good results,” says Gregory Cizek, a professor of educational measurement and evaluation at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who served as an expert in the Atlanta investigation. “The parents want to look good, the teacher wants to make AYP and the students want good scores. Plus, it’s generally in no one’s job description to look deeper.”

Pakistani politicians were completing their campaigns on Saturday for a general election that has been overshadowed by fear of violence and accusations of rigging.
Pakistani politicians launched a final push for votes Saturday, as Islamist militants blew up a polling station in an attack that raised new fears for the security of next week's elections.
Rows about alleged rigging also rumbled on, with a US lawmaker urging Washington to cut military aid to its nuclear-armed ally against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban if Monday's voting is not free and fair.
Campaigning ends at midnight (1900 GMT) on Saturday and all rallies are banned from then until after Monday's landmark vote, seen as decisive for the political future of President Pervez Musharraf.
Opposition groups have accused Musharraf's administration of rigging the polls to head off possible impeachment if a hostile parliament is voted in.
But Musharraf said Saturday he was "positive the polls would be fair".
"It has to be that way," the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan quoted Musharraf as saying.
"Inshallah (God willing) we will have a stable, democratically elected government ... we will ensure successful fight against terrorism and extremism and we will ensure sustaining the economic growth of Pakistan."
As he spoke, security officials said militants used a timebomb to blow up a polling station overnight in Khar, the main town of the troubled Bajaur tribal agency bordering Afghanistan.
Police in the southern city of Hyderabad meanwhile said they had arrested a suspected militant equipped with a suicide jacket and explosives who was planning an attack during the polls.
Most electioneering was taking place in the political battleground of Punjab, Pakistan's biggest and most affluent region.
The widower of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, Asif Ali Zardari, met former premier Nawaz Sharif in Lahore for new talks on possible power-sharing after the vote if the opposition wins a majority, party officials said.
Supporters of an opposition alliance that is boycotting the vote, including the party of former cricketer Imran Khan and hardline Islamic organisations, shouted "Musharraf is a liar" at a meeting in the eastern city of Lahore.
"We are protesting against elections because they will be flawed. There will be rigging," said Abdul Rashid, a 72-year-old retired professor, as riot police wielding sticks and plastic shields stood guard.
Campaigning has however been mostly lacklustre in the run up to the election, due partly to a wave of suicide attacks, most notably the one that killed Bhutto at a political rally on December 27.
Some 81,000 army and paramilitary soldiers have fanned out across the country to maintain peace and security during the election, chief military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said.
He said around 34,000 army troops and 47,000 other paramilitary soldiers had been used.
"The deployment is complete. The army soldiers will be outside the polling stations in sensitive areas," Abbas told AFP.
Around 9,000 polling stations have been declared the "most sensitive," he added.
Qaiser Tareen, commander of the paramilitary Punjab Rangers, said troops have been ordered to "shoot on sight" those who try to hamper the voting or disrupt peace on election day.
In Washington, a senior US senator in a Congressional team travelling to monitor the polls said late Friday that the United States should "cut off aid to Pakistan, military aid" if the vote is not fair.
Democratic Senator Joseph Biden, who is head of the influential Senate foreign relations committee, also forecast riots throughout Pakistan if the elections were found to be "patently rigged."
A fresh row erupted over the fairness of the polls on Friday after Human Rights Watch said it had obtained a recording of Pakistan's attorney-general predicting the vote will be "massively rigged."
But Malik Qayyum, a close ally of Musharraf, said the allegation was "ridiculous... a conspiracy against Pakistan" and denied making the comment.

Due to a lack of prestige, art-world recognition, funding and infrastructure support, Art Chicago—the massive art exposition once held in Grant Park but ultimately relegated in 2006 to the Merchandise Mart in the River North neighborhood of the city—crumbled under the weight of its own age. The most successful art expositions do not need to cater to the youth market, but they do, at the very least, need to have a firm grasp on the galleries and artists that shape the contemporary art scene. They need stability. They need something that goes beyond what has always been done. And Art Chicago, despite its place as the sole major international contemporary art fair in the city, could not sustain itself as either culturally relevant or locally beloved. In February of this year, Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. announced the end of its more than thirty-year run.
In the end, Art Chicago suffered a lack of outside support, brought about by administrative disorder. At the Merchandise Mart, the fair was housed in a building so large that it warrants its own zip code, and the abundance of participating galleries proved particularly troubling. In fact, there were so many exhibitors that, in 2008, the exposition was ultimately divided into two separate expositions: Art Chicago and NEXT Art Fair, dedicated to more contemporary and emerging galleries. Though organizers of the event noted that they created a more selective benchmark for included galleries, any of the exposition’s returning attendees could easily recognize that the caliber of galleries had gone down noticeably, with many of the well known names from years past (including local institutions like the Richard Gray gallery) pulling out for greener pastures. A few years ago, I viewed an Angel Otero work in person, desperately tempted to touch the viscous and elaborately rich paintings. That’s not to say NEXT lacked for some stand-out galleries in its most recent iteration in 2011. But the number of artists and the power of the work were missing. Before the exposition was shut down earlier this year, it was again renamed NEXT Art Chicago
The lack of confidence in the relevancy of Chicago as an art festival incubator also shaped the fair’s outcome. In an email to vendors about the festival that was reprinted in The Chicago Tribune, executive director Staci Boris and director Ken Tyburski wrote, “While Chicago is home to a thriving arts community, including galleries, world-class museums, theaters, arts-related organizations, along with thousands of art enthusiasts, it is our conclusion that the great majority of the art fair market in the United States has gravitated toward the coasts. This is where MMPI will be reallocating its considerable resources.”
One of the city’s main struggles is to have its artists and spaces recognized on a local, national and international basis. Chicago is a city that supports the arts, that has internationally renowned art spaces, but the visual arts are often left out of the conversation. The most active local sources for visual arts coverage in the city are the smaller or more alternative weekly press outlets such as Newcity and Time Out Chicago. It is no surprise that visual arts coverage diminished in similar scale as the importance and stability of the city’s two main daily papers, The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Sun-Times.
Before the festival’s announcement of its demise, Tony Karman, Art Chicago‘s former vice president and director from April 2006 to December 2010, announced the first annual EXPO CHICAGO, The International Exposition of Contemporary/Modern Art and Design. Located within Festival Hall at Navy Pier, the aim of the event is to “bridge a critical gap for Chicago’s contemporary arts community, helping to define the cultural future of Chicago, and inspire the city’s collector base.” Originally created as a bigger and better alternative to the unfocused Art Chicago, EXPO CHICAGO now stands as the most important contemporary art fair exposition in the city. Its aim is ambitious and does not go unnoticed.
EXPO CHICAGO aims to establish the city as a cultural destination and the exposition itself as a “preeminent art fair.” Dealers chosen to participate were limited to only one hundred, and include David Zwirner, Yvon Lambert, The Pace Gallery, as well as the aforementioned Richard Gray. With an interior space designed by Studio Gang Architects, the exposition hits all of the right marks, but perhaps the right marks are no longer good enough. In order for EXPO CHICAGO to truly succeed in the current art fair circuit, it needs to establish itself as something different, not just selective or attuned to “the best.” In terms of establishing itself within the city, it has already accomplished that task. Lacking a second major international fair, it can already assert its dominance. But its ability to make a defining statement on the world stage remains to be seen.

How does our order process work?
Placing An Order
First and foremost, all feeders are first come, first served. We try and maintain ample quantities of all of our feeders, but due to variables that are out of our control, we at times may run low on certain prey types and sizes. Please keep this in mind when placing an order.
Accepting orders via email, text, Facebook message, etc. and coordinating delivery dates, times, and locations on a large scale is not practical for us. Instead, we have decided to use a website dedicated to placing weekly or one-time feeder orders.
Orders can be placed by clicking “Shop” at the top of our site. Simply select the items and quantities of your choosing and then complete the checkout process.
When Must Orders Be Placed?
Orders must be placed at least 24 hours in advance of the desired pickup date/time. If a pickup location offers only 1 pickup date each week, orders can be placed up to 7 days in advance of the pickup date. For locations that offer multiple pickup dates each week, orders generally can be made a maximum of 4 days in advance of the pickup date. We recommend ordering well in advance of the pickup date as orders are first come first served, so if you wait until the day before pickup to place your order, inventory levels may have changed from when you last viewed our site. Also if ordering frozen rodents, we recommend ordering a couple days ahead of time to give us time to properly freeze your items.
When Are Feeders Delivered?
On the right side of the checkout screen under the “Your Order” section you will notice a section labeled “Pickup Location”. This section will allow you to select a pickup location, date, and time. We currently have limited dates, times, and locations; however, as we grow we plan to offer more pickup options as well as delivery to your home or place of business.
How Do I Pay For My Order?
We currently only accept checks and debit/credit cards; we do not accept cash on delivery (with tax, most orders will require change, which we do not carry) or money orders. At the bottom of the checkout screen you will have the option to select “Check Payments” or “Credit/Debit Card”. Please make checks payable to Coastal Constrictors, LLC. For check payments that are returned for lack of funds (NSF), the following charges apply: (1) $15 to recover the returned check fee charged by our bank; and (2) $50 processing charge. Your credit card information can be keyed in at the bottom of the checkout screen, and all information is secured through 256-bit SSL encryption (click on image in the footer of this page to verify). Also, all orders will include Virginia state sales tax.
How Do I Pick Up My Order?
When checking out, you selected a date, time, and location to pick up your feeders. We will be at that location just before the pickup time and will wait for 15 minutes. If you have not arrived within 15 minutes of the selected pickup time, we will leave as we have other customers to meet. We reserve the right to refuse service to customers that habitually no-show or late-show for their time.
Customers are required to bring their own means for transporting their feeders. It is also the responsibility of the customer to transfer feeders from our totes to your totes; we will not pull feeders out for you. To make pickup quicker and easier, we can provide transportation totes with dividers that you can use and return the following week, eliminating the need to physically move feeders from one tote to another at the pickup location. These totes are specifically designed for small lab animal transport and are not cheap, so a one-time refundable deposit of $30 per tote is required. At any time, you can return the tote for a full refund assuming the tote is still in a usable, undamaged condition.
Do You Offer Delivery to Residences/Businesses?
At this point in time, we only offer local pickup. As we expand production and our customer base grows, it is our goal to be able to offer delivery directly to your home or place of business. Check back periodically for updates.
Do You Have A Minimum Order Amount?
Yes, we do. All orders must total at least $25 before tax.
Do You Have Minimum Order Quantities?
Live feeders can be ordered in any quantity. Frozen feeders can be ordered in varying quantities depending on the prey type and size. When adding frozen items to your cart, it will specify in what quantities the items must be ordered.
Do You Offer Discounts?
We have been producing and raising ball pythons for years. In our early years, we purchased our feeders from multiple suppliers. Some were cheap but unreliable. Some were pricey but reliable. After riding that roller coaster for far too long, we decided that the only way to provide our snakes what they needed when they needed it was to produce our own feeders. In doing that, we have developed an enormous appreciation for the time and effort that goes into raising feeders. For that reason, we feel that our prices are more than fair given the quality of our feeders (we feed these same animals to our collection) and the service that we provide to our customers, so we do not offer any discounts. However, we do offer bulk pricing on orders totaling $100 or more. For orders that meet this threshold, please use promo code 10off at checkout.

Where do you need interior decorators?
An interior decorator is concerned with decorating a room using paint, wallpaper, flooring, lighting, furnishings and other surface materials so that the room is attractive and easy to use. They do not make any structural changes to the house but work with the home “as it is”. Interior decoration is a design field and as such, professionals are fully trained and qualified.
©Revive Design Solutions
Interior decorators work closely with their clients in order to discover exactly what look or style that the client is hoping to achieve in their home. They have links with suppliers of various materials such as paint, furnishings, flooring etc and can usually find exactly what you are after. This saves you time in sourcing the materials for the home and often they can get the perfect piece at a cheaper price.
Tasks that the interior decorator must perform when completing a project include:
As well as this, the interior decorator must remain abreast of current trends and new materials.
When choosing your interior decorator, ask to see samples of their previous work so that you can see if their style fits in with the vision that you have. Many interior decorators specialise in particular styles so if you are after a particular look such as “beach”, “oriental” or “Tuscan”, these specialists may be a good choice. However, all interior decorators are able to work with you to create the look you are after. Also ask for references from previous clients and to see their qualifications.
Interior decorators typically charge anywhere from $60 to in excess of $100 per hour, though this can vary widely and will depend on how much input is required from them. Larger projects with bigger budgets may involve the interior decorator choosing all elements - and they will typically quote a flat fee for this service. If you simply want to get some inspiration an interior decorators will typically quote you consultation fee for a couple of hours spent with you in your home. Some also offer personal shopper style experiences, where they accompany you to select furnishings and colour schemes.
We need your email address so that we can send you the details of businesses who express interest in your job.
We need your phone number so that businesses who express interest in your job may call you for more details.

Sir Bobby Charlton led a delegation from Manchester United to Germany on Wednesday, to unveil a memorial to mark the Munich air disaster.
Sir Bobby Charlton survived the disaster in 1958
The stone memorial is at the site of the crash near Kirchtrudering, and features the names of the 23 people who died in the 1958 crash.
Sir Bobby, 66, said it meant a lot to anybody in the football world.
"It brings back memories, but it also brings back the thought that we had such a fantastic team," he said.
Sir Bobby was one of the survivors of the crash, but lost eight of his team mates.
"Every Manchester United player today has a little bit of Munich in his heart," he said.
The only previous memorial at the site was a trough of flowers with a small memorial inscription.
Twenty-three people died in the Munich air crash
German politician Hermann Memmel, who worked on the project, said in August: "When Man United play in Munich, Kirchtrudering becomes something of a place of pilgrimage for the English.
"A memorial for the victims of the Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958 shows a mark of humanity and represents a contribution to international understanding between England and Germany that is not to be underestimated."
The tragedy happened as the United team was travelling back from a European Cup tie in Belgrade.
Among the dead were eight members of the famous Busby Babes, named after manager Sir Matt Busby.
They were Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Billy Whelan and Tommy Taylor.
Club secretary Ken Merrett, chief executive David Gill, manager Sir Alex Ferguson joined Sir Bobby at event.

If Christian men are going to change from a pitiful, wimpy bunch of "really nice guys" to men who are made in the image of God, they must reexamine their preconceptions about who God is and recover their true "wild" hearts, writes bestselling author John Eldredge in Wild at Heart: Discovering a Life of Passion, Freedom, and Adventure
. Eldredge throws down the gauntlet--men are bored; they fear risk, they refuse to pay attention to their deepest desires. He challenges Christian men to return to authentic masculinity without resorting to a "macho man" mentality. Men often seek validation in venues such as work, or in the conquest of women, Eldredge observes. He urges men to take time out and come to grips with the "secret longings" of their hearts. Although the book succeeds best in its slant toward a male audience, it also strives to help women understand the implications of authentic masculinity in their relationships with men. Eldredge frames the book around his outdoor experiences and appealing anecdotes about his family, sprinkling the text with touches of humor and overlying everything with heartfelt passion. Even as he mixes eclectic ideas about masculinity from popular movies such as Braveheart
with classic words from Oswald Chambers, and lyrics from the Dixie Chicks with stories from the Bible, he points to only one answer for men searching for their true wildness of heart. Writes Eldredge, "The only way to live in this adventure ... with all its danger and unpredictability and immensely high stakes ... is in an ongoing, intimate relationship with God." --Cindy Crosby
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"A formidable answer to an age-old question: How can a man make himself tolerable and useful while accepting and expressing his primordial maleness--the searching and aggressive urges to conquer what needs subduing, protect the vulnerable, fix what is broken, compete and risk what demands to be risked in himself and the world? The author’s message is set in the Christian tradition without being controlled by its ideology. Eldredge believes that institutions can oppress a man’s heart and keep society from benefiting from his fierce desire to love, do good, fight evil, and go beyond the limits. The exceptional writing and ideational balance (and a sensitive interpretation by Kelly Dolan) make this a compelling effort to integrate the hero’s gritty nature with the public good."

This concise and lucid book “is a summary of our current collective understanding of the method by which some societies decide who would govern them.…” (P. VIII.) The author is a professor of politics and economics at NYU, and an esteemed authority in the field of political economy. The book could not be timelier: many of us simply cannot understand how elections got us to where we are now. Bafflement can beget both anger and apathy. Much of the collective social-scientific understanding Przeworski relates will be deflating even for those who have already cast aside illusions. Nonetheless, he urges us to keep on bothering.
The book begins with a reminder that “elections are a modern phenomenon.” (P. 13.) The first national legislative election was held in 1788, to the United States Congress. Since then, elections have become an almost universal norm: today, “all but a handful of countries have legislatures elected by universal [qualified] suffrage and chief executives either elected in popular elections or indirectly by elected parliaments.” (P. 17.) The elections boom was accompanied by, and surely to some degree motivated by, the Rousseavian aspiration to reconcile humankind’s innate freedom with the fact that coercive government is here to stay. This yearning for self-government finds its expression in the rituals of popular elections.
Election rituals vary widely in their forms. Przeworki explains the differences between parliamentary, presidential, and “semi-presidential” electoral systems, and between proportional representation and first-past-the-post methods of composing a legislative assembly. The latter rules tend to determine how many political parties are viable: according to “Duverger’s Law,” presidential systems tend to be two-party, and parliamentary systems to be multi-party. The United States is unusual in using first-past-the-post in a presidential system, and unique among presidential systems in its indirect mode of electing presidents. The upshot is the permanent possibility of a divided government in which a legislative majority opposes a president, and the further possibility that such a president lacks the support of a popular plurality even when elected.
Madison wrote, in Federalist #10, that “the dangers to the holders of property can not be disguised, if they are undefended against a majority without property,” or even against a majority with less property than it thinks fair. This, Przeworki adds, is one thing on which conservatives and socialists have long agreed. Election systems have been devised in various ways to defang the threat while preserving the myth of popular —rather than propertied—sovereignty. The obvious expedient of excluding the unpropertied from the franchise has almost disappeared. Over the two and a half centuries of the electoral era, universal adult suffrage has steadily become the norm all across the globe. But economic inequality persists, and increases, even as formal political equality has become the norm. Why?
Various devices, such as indirect rather than direct election of representatives, tend to entrench incumbents and, with them, the status quo. Counter-majoritarian institutions—such as the presidential veto and judicial review— dampen majority power. The historical trend is toward constitutional judicial review and central-bank independence of the electorate. Another device is a super-majoritarian voting requirement, which bicameralism, in effect, is. Przeworski reports an estimate that congressional legislation needs to have 75% support across the two chambers in order to succeed. (Compare Article V’s requirement a valid constitutional amendment must be ratified by that three-quarters of the states.) With caveats, Przeworski offers “a conjecture about the mechanisms that drive this history. Given the extant trenches, those in power make concessions either when they face a foreboding threat from without or when some of them expect to improve their competitive position by finding allies among those currently excluded [and] whenever particular trenches are conquered, the elites find substitutes to protect their interests. These cycles are repeated over and over.” (Pp. 45-46.) Przeworski does not mention mass incarceration, penal disenfranchisement, and voter ID laws as instances of these obstacles, but he does note the curious fact that of the modern industrialized nations only the US holds national elections on a workday.
Incumbents win, on average, four times out of five. Rejecting more benign explanations, Przeworski suggests that the advantages of incumbency itself account for their success in getting themselves re-elected. He recounts an experience he had one winter living Chicago, trying to get authorities to free his car from the ice encasing it. Calling the City got no response, so his wife called the Democratic precinct captain. “He was at our door in minutes, pointing out that we had not voted in the last municipal election.” (P. 58.) Przeworski instantly gave the expected assurances. Problem solved. Obviously, this anecdote does not itself explain the incumbent advantage. Partisan “clientism” is not so blatant in other US cities; but studies of campaign contributions show that there is an incumbent advantage here, too. Is contribution the reported “pro quo” that indicates an implicit “quid” that the public at large can only guess at?
Przeworski is cautious about the widely held view that money in politics is mainly what stands between us and more representative government: “to date, no consensus has been reached regarding the effectiveness of campaign spending on vote shares.” (P. 65.) Nevertheless, he endorses his colleague Ann Harvey’s finding that “removal of state limits on campaign financing in the United States led to increased Republican vote shares and the election of more conservative candidates.” (P. 66.) But the real problem is structural: “Private ownership of productive resources limits the range of outcomes that can ensue from the democratic process … crucial economic decisions, those affecting employment and investment, are a private prerogative.” (P. 74.) Campaign spending limits don’t touch that.
How do democracies and autocracies compare in terms of economic performance? Autocracies tend to occupy the tails of the bell curve: “while the fastest-growing economies tend to be poor autocracies, so are the economic basket cases.” (P. 101.) Przeworski reports that at any given level of total output, democracies exhibit higher wages better life-expectancy, and lower economic volatility. But he sees an ominous development in the combination of stagnant median income growth and dramatically increased inequality in the democracies: “the erosion of the belief in intergradational [sic] progress may well be historically unprecedented and its political consequences are ominous.” (P. 99.) How have elections allowed this to occur?
Assume majority rule is in force, and the distribution of wealth is on the voting agenda. If we assume further that everyone votes according to self-interest and nothing else (i.e., no one cares what her relative share is), the so-called “median-voter theorem” tells us that the resulting distribution of wealth will tend to equate to that of the the voter whose wealth is such that half of the electorate has more and half has less. Thus, “the coexistence of universal suffrage with economic inequality is hard to fathom.” (P. 104.) Yet, surprisingly, “at every level of per capita income, the extent of inequality is not lower in democracies than in autocracies.” (P. 105.) And he reports the astonishing further fact that although “democratic governments redistribute more income … as income inequality increases from very low to intermediate levels, …they redistribute less as inequality increases once it is already high.” (P. 105 and Fig. 10.1) In other words, across a range of different democracies, low levels of inequality tend to call forth mitigating efforts to dampen further inequality, but high inequality leads to ever higher inequality. Dismissing various other explanations, Przeworski concludes that “the main culprit is that people are not politically equal in economically unequal societies” —meaning, in economically unequal “democratic” societies. (P. 106) Merely formal political equality does not prevent massive inequality of political influence in conditions of high economic inequality; and as substantive political inequality increases, so too does the economic inequality that begat it: “a vicious circle.” (P. 111.)
Elections neither presuppose, nor do they tend to promote, either political or economic equality. As economic inequality increases, elections do less and less to brake it. Nonetheless, elections make civic peace possible. How is this? Przeworski observes that elections facilitate peaceful transitions of power only if the stakes are not too high for the incumbent. “Just imagine that the … incumbent fears that if he loses the forthcoming election, he will exit the office through a window.” (P. 49.) Competitive elections presuppose more than tolerating opposition: they also presuppose that the incumbent may relinquish power without anxiety. Ordinary politics must be low-stakes politics, in this sense. Once the election habit has taken hold, it becomes stronger with each cycle. The “outs” know their turn will come and the “ins” know that if turned out they will be allowed to win themselves back in. So long as the populace also retains its faith in “intergradational progress,” the electoral stakes stay manageably low for all, and the election habit strengthens with repetition.
But, as Przeworski indicates, confidence in intergradational progress is eroding in the western democracies. And his analysis suggests a latent dilemma. The opposition, to be genuine, must give voice to discontent; and, to be effective, it must stoke discontent. But the election habit is based on an unspoken promise of amnesty for the incumbent rascal. Otherwise, an incumbent, who faces the prospect of prison for perceived crimes, will self-defensively misuse the incumbent’s advantage to rig (if not abort) the election process. Where amnesty is the norm, as it must be to keep the stakes low, elections can do little to check top-level official corruption and simony, which can be expected ever to increase unless some breaking point exists. On the other hand, once the amnesty norm is breached, elections cease to be the low-stakes affairs that orderly transitions of power presuppose.
Przeworki, in concluding, reassuringly dismisses the possibility of democracy collapsing in wealthy countries where the election habit has taken hold. But he is concerned about “deterioration” —“although we should not be desperate, we should also not be sanguine. Something profound is going on.” (P. 132). Anyone who shares this concern would do well to bother with this illuminating book.

'Just a skater in underwear': World and European champion posts provocative snaps on Instagram
The 2015 World and European champion captioned the pictures 'Just a figure skater in underwear' which she shared on her Instagram account.
Tuktamysheva, 21, was among the few female skaters who successfully landed triple axel in official competitions, an extremely difficult jumping element which helped her to win all major international events in 2015.
However, a year later, despite being the reigning world champion, Tuktamysheva failed to make it to the national team - finishing far behind the top three at the national championship.
With the emergence of extremely talented skaters, like Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova, competition inside the national team intensified leaving well-experienced skaters like Tuktamysheva behind the squad.
However, the 21-year-old Tuktamysheva, who was not selected for the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, continues her preparation for the upcoming figure skating season. She is now setting her sights on taking the coveted berth to represent Russia again at major international competitions.

Thinking of taking a Panama Canal/Central America cruise? There are definitely at least 5 great reasons, including an engineering marvel, rainforests, Belize and private islands… and more!
Panama Canal/Central America Cruise
Experience the wonder of modern engineering as you float through the famous series of locks of the Panama Canal. A Panama Canal cruise explores the historical and international significance of the canal and incorporates the Costa Rican rainforests and ancient cities like Cartagena. A Central America cruise allows you to explore Mayan ruins in Belize, scenic beauty in Honduras, and tropical Costa Rica.
1. The Panama Canal is 48 miles long! The series of locks is an engineering marvel that took more than a decade to build. The locks take ships from sea level to over 85 feet above sea level as they go from the Atlantic to the Pacific. For some cruises the Panama Canal will be the main destination of the sailing. These Panama Canal Cruises may include partial or full transit through the canal. Or sometimes sailing through the Panama Canal is part of a larger World Cruise or a repositioning cruise when cruise lines are moving their ships from the East Coast of the US to the West Coast. Either way getting to experience the sailing through the locks is an amazing experience.
2. Rainforests of Costa Rica! See beautiful waterfalls, volcanic beaches, and exotic wildlife when exploring ports in this country. While you’re there check out the agriculture that Costa Rica is famous for -Coffee and bananas!
3. Panama offers more than just the canal. While the Panama Canal is a must see when you are at port there are several UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Panama as well, including the Archaeological Site of Panamá Viejo and Historic District of Panamá. The Historic District of Panamá is the oldest European Settlement on the Pacific Coast founded in 1519. You can also explore an Embera Indian Village-where the indigenous people of the area live.
4. Belize–This tropical paradise offers beaches, jungles, caves, ancient ruins, and the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere(it can be seen from space)!
5. Private Islands! While you’ll find many of the cruise lines’ private islands in the Bahamas, two of the newest can be found in Central America. Carnival’s Mahogany Bay on the Island of Rotan, Honduras. It opened in 2009 and features beaches, fishing, and wildlife reserves. Norwegian Cruise Line’s Harvest Caye in Belize opened in 2016. Harvest Caye features beaches, pools, a large marina, shopping, and The Flighthouse-a 136-foot-high venue for aerial activities

From early December into early January, Christmas lights dominate downtown locations in the evenings. These are in Major's Hill Park, with the Chateau Laurier looming behind them.
I strolled over to the area around the War Memorial, where the trees were decked out in blues and greens.
This one, taken from the west side, blends the memorial with the Chateau in the background.
On another evening, I stopped to take in a view of the National Arts Centre from the south side, with Christmas lights in the foreground.
Parliament Hill features lights in the bushes along the front lawn. I will be back here tomorrow for a couple of posts to show you what else has been going on in the evenings on the Hill.
Christmas lights are also to be found around City Hall. The 2017 torch sculpture was lit up on the evening I came by.
Across the street in Confederation Park, the lights are different this year- snow globes are suspended in the branches, and shifting coloured floodlights illuminate the trees.
And this is a night view of the Rideau Canal, with the lights beyond the National Arts Centre attracting the eye. The Peace Tower looks like a ghost beyond them.

This week’s challenge comes from my good friend Dina Bright who heard the story at the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles. The challenge within the story is about persevering even when you think you’re not accomplishing anything.
Push Your Rock
There once was a man who had a huge desire to please God, so he prayed day and night until one day a voice spoke to him, “I want you to go and push a rock.”
The man woke up the next morning elated and ran outside to find a huge boulder. He began pushing it, but nothing happened, so he kept at it all day. The next day he did the same, yet it still didn’t budge an inch. He went on like that for three months, until one day he got so frustrated that he stopped pushing.
That night he had a dream, and the same voice asked him, “Why did you stop pushing?”
“Nothing happened,” he answered.
“Nothing happened? Look at you! Look how determined and focused you’ve become. Look how powerful your muscles are now. You’re no longer the person you were when you started. Besides, I didn’t tell you to move the rock; I told you to push it. I’ll move the rock when it’s time.”
This week’s challenge is simply to keep pushing your rock. It’ll move at the right moment, in the perfect time, when you least expect it. Meanwhile, amazing things are happening, even if you’re not noticing them yet.
This Labor Day weekend, take the time to rest and relax. I have no doubt that we’ll all be pushing our rocks come Tuesday morning, so enjoy this time off while you have it.
Have a good week!

Hey gal pals! We know the political climate has been heating up and even mentioning politics can be a social turn off, but, honestly, we can’t seem to take it anymore.
We claim boss beauties from all walks of life, from every corner of the world and it’s a shame that a (*cough cough*) incompetent newcomer has to poke at the idea of dismantling one of the very things that makes America, dare we say, great! Needless to say, DACA is our issue, too.
Make no mistake, though, we don’t want to just be another screaming head scrambling to have the last word; we want to be the ones to drop some knowledge and teach you how you can be a real ally for DACA supporters and recipients.
What is DACA?
First, let’s get the basics out of the way.
DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It is (was?) an Obama-Era program passed in 2012 that allowed undocumented immigrants a chance to contribute and thrive in this country.
It offered freedom, opportunity, and mobility without fear to 800,000 Dreamers who were brought to the United States as children by parents who wanted a better life for their family.
Despite Trump’s claims about having a big heart, it’s acts like these that show his true colors. And honey, those colors are soooo 20th century.
What’s the Big Deal, Anyway?
Aside from tearing families apart and ripping some people from the only home they’ve ever known, ending DACA would mean serious economic impacts. We’re talking 800,000 people who are affected by the ending of this program.
Let’s look at the facts, shall we?
- A quarter of America’s business sector is made up of immigrants.
- Immigrant-owned businesses are responsible for 6 million American employees.
- Silicon Valley alone was possible thanks to the collective brain power of immigrants.
Immigration is not depleting this country of any resources. If anything, immigrants have served to improve this country with their contributions and incredible work ethic.
Why Ending DACA is Complete Bullshit
From generalizing Mexicans as rapists and drug dealers, to banning Muslim travel to the U.S., and mobilizing factions into believing that building a wall would keep out all the “bad hombres,” we’ve seen our fair share of cringe-worthy moments from the president.
This one, however, is implying that anyone who wasn’t born in the U.S. is not worthy of being here, regardless of their current status or how long they’ve contributed to this country’s growth. We all know that’s just bullshit, right!?
There are thousands of DACA recipients in the middle of earning a degree, finally becoming financially stable, or working multiple jobs while they go to school to support a family.
We understand the harmful impacts of this decision and it is why we stand with DACA recipients.
How Can I Help?
So, you wanna help? Boo, we’ve got you!
There has been an emergence of people from all over taking matters into their own hands.
You don’t have to be a stiff in a suit to help, either. There’s a lot of things you can do to make your voice heard. If you want to do your part, the Huffington Post published an article listing the things you can do to help.
Here are three easy ways you can help:
Call the White House: Dial 202-456-1111 and leave your message. Don’t hold back; rehearse it if you need to!
Contact Your Member of Congress: Each and every one of them. In the time it takes you to catch up on your shows, you can make your case for why you’re against DACA and how it can affect our country.
Use the Power of Social Media: at the rate Trump tweets, there’s a big chance that everyone else in Washington has their eyes glued to the platform too. Take advantage and use those hashtags (#DACA, #Dreamers) and mentions (@SpeakerRyan, @realdonaldtrump) to get your message across.
Did we leave something out? Share your thoughts below!

‘Urinary Incontinence – Finally, A Solution’
A Personal Message From Louise White
You are not alone.
I could write a book about the embarrassing situations I have been in because of my misbehaving bladder.
I remember sneezing while stood in a coffee shop queue of people waiting patiently for my almond croissant. That classic crossed legged sneeze, slowly coming back into full stance and internally praying that there was no evidence of my weak bladder not holding up. Then, with a sigh of relief when I think I got away with it and can relax, suddenly I feel the uncontrollable urgency to go to the toilet. Do I leave the queue while my cappuccino is being trothed ready for dunking in my almond croissant or do I exit to find the toilet, fast before an unintentional loss of urine happens?
So, to the women who is avoiding taking part in exercise classes in fear of the dreaded wet patch, to the women who avoids drinking too much water just in case your caught short before you reach the toilet. To the women who is exhausted because of waking up continuously through the night to nip for a wee. I’ve been there! I know how debilitating and quite frankly embarrassing this condition is.
1 in 4 of us will at some point in our lives struggle with bladder leakage.
I am lucky in the fact that because of my training and profession as a women’s health practitioner, I understood what was going on with my Pelvic Floor Muscles,
I knew with age my hormones were changing which affects the way the bladder and the muscles behave. I know that my pregnancy and childbirth contribute to a weak Pelvic Floor. But for those women who have no idea why they are leaking, even if it is a little bit of urine or a huge amount it is hard to seek help.
We all know doing our Pelvic Floor exercises are important for our continence, sexual health and wellbeing. But, for many women they are not sure how to identify those muscles or indeed how to start excising them. They don’t know that there is a solution. So for those women it’s a case of accepting the fact that wearing pads will be their only way forward.
In 2018 I came across an amazing technology that was potentially life changing for me and so many women who are suffering like I was. The Emsella Chair, a ridiculous name I know -, but essentially EM – stands for Electro Magnetic and Sella is Latin for chair. So, this large chair has a cone of energy (the Electro Magnetic part) in the seat of the chair. Women and men can sit on this chair fully clothed and this safe EM energy exercises the muscles in the Pelvic Floor far beyond what we can do naturally ourselves doing Pelvic Floor Exercises.
This super tech chair can exercise and contract our entire pelvic floor muscle fibres! These contractions are called super maximal contractions which means it’s working the muscles at a rate that we could never achieve naturally.
This leads to a significant strengthen of those muscles that hold our pelvic organs including the bladder in place. It’s helping re-educate the muscles to start responding to the pressure placed upon it when we sneeze, jump, laugh or cough. When the muscles start responding then you’re able to withstand the ‘urge, to constantly go to the toilet.
All I can tell you is, you have to experience the power of this process to really grasp what an impact it can have on your life. Many women we are able to help tell me it gives them the freedom to live normally they have craved for so long.
The good news is, I have this incredible chair in my health clinic at Body Lipo Lincoln in Lincoln and it’s been a pleasure to get to talk to and help so many women, and men, when it comes to bladder leakage and those horrendous oops moments.
The next step? Give me a call 01522 523777 in confidence and we can see if this is right for you. Before any treatment we conduct a thorough consultation to find out the root of your urinary incontinence, its type and how it affects your daily life. We’ll explain how the Emsella Chair works in detail and tell you what to expect from the treatment, and you’ll also be given the chance to ask any questions you may have. You’ll have the opportunity to tell us about any other medical issues, and our supportive, highly professional clinicians will go out of their way to make the entire process as comfortable as possible.

Alehouses are popular pubs in the United States for a beer, coupled with some mouth-watering side dishes on a hot sunny day. They are famous for their non-veg dishes, and the menu shows the dominance of non-veg food.
For starters, the all-time bestseller of alehouses has always been their finger-licking, delicious, and crispy wings paired with the house’s special homemade dips.
Then, what about vegan options at alehouse? Are vegan options available in an alehouse? The simple answer is “no.” If you are a vegan seeking to drink and chill with vegan dishes, alehouses are not the perfect places for you. You may find some vegan drinks, but there are likely to be very few dishes to satisfy your hunger.
The vegan options are there apart from the non-veg menu, but most of them are cheese-based. The non-availability of vegan products or dishes at alehouses in the United States is due to the popularity of animal-derived foods.
Still, there are few dishes to enjoy with chilled drinks that will satisfy vegans at alehouses. Read on to know more!
Table of Contents
What Are Alehouses All About?
Alehouses are walk-in pubs in the States that provide various drinks and fast foods. They are famous for their zingers or crispy chicken wings.
The oldest alehouse in the United States is “The White Horse Tavern.” It is located in New York and was established in 1673. It has been serving ale over centuries to the people of America. The ambiance inside it gives you the true essence of 17th-century American architecture. With its long historical prospect, the quality of food is retained.
They are proud to offer the freshest fishes, clams, slices of beef, and lobsters, along with artisan cheese, honey, and quality poultry products. It is now a fine dining restaurant that offers a wide range of dinner dishes and various wines.
Are There Any Vegan Options at Alehouses?
The prime focus at an alehouse is on the non-vegetarian menu and, to some extent, the veg menu. Also, alehouses have gained popularity for the zingers and cheese-dripping dishes, as mentioned earlier. As alehouses are excellent places for a plethora of drinks, vegan drinks are available to some extent.
However, you can find a select number of vegan options at alehouses, varying from one to the other. They differ from place to place according to demand and popularity.
It is time to have a look over the one vegan food offered by alehouses:
It is a brown rice dish with bell pepper and a roasted corn patty. The vegetable count in the dish is balanced with colors. It has beefsteak tomato, green leaf lettuce, and dill pickle.
The dish is generally served with French fries to enjoy with chilled drinks of your choice. You can add guacamole to the dish for an additional cost.
As you can predict from its name, it is a complete plant-based dish.
However, it has a meaty texture. The chief ingredients of gardein are soy, pea proteins, wheat, and ancient grains. The simple ingredients make the dish tasty, vegan-friendly, and easy to digest.
All gardein ingredients are vegan and vegan-certified.
Why Is Veganism So Popular?
The popularity of veganism is witnessing rapid growth in the past few years. After its arrival as the just trend in the market, it is now a choice of major mass. The primary reasons for the popularity of veganism are mentioned below.
While the food derived from animals is tasty, it is costly too. The economic awareness of people over the years led to the popularity of veganism. Vegan foods are plant-based and are comparatively affordable and economical to non-veg or animal-derived foods.
People are shifting to veganism to avoid detrimental health effects. The animals used for consumption are treated with harmful chemicals, which turn out to be unhealthy. Also, the number of diabetic patients and cases of sudden heart attacks is an increasing threat to America.
Lately, the masses are switching to veganism to get all the benefits of a healthy plant-based natural diet. After all, it’s a disease-free, sober life that we all seek!
Concern for Animal Life
Animals are not only subjects of human consumption but are an essential aspect of global ecology. With this motto, many people have turned vegan for the sake of saving animal lives.
It is always wise to balance the ratio between animals and plants. However, with the modernization of restaurants and increased production of consumable animals in farms, slaughters are rapid.
Vegans are unified with the motto to cut down on animal-based derivatives for human consumption.
Should Alehouses Include Vegan Food?
The inclusion of vegan drinks/foods in alehouses will undoubtedly make the vegans happy. Alehouses primarily focus on non-vegetarian fast foods and dining and prioritize audiences who are meat lovers, and there’s nothing wrong there.
However, alehouse chains should now account for the vegan masses as their numbers are spiking with no signs of declining soon. That said, it would be nice to see them incorporating more vegan-friendly options into their menu.
Adding a vegan menu will benefit both the alehouses and the vegan consumers in the future. From the increase in sales to the growth of the audience base, all of them are just a couple out of the 101 reasons they should do it.
Let’s have a look at the benefits of adding a vegan menu at alehouse chains.
More Audience Retention
Imagine a vegan walking into an alehouse, getting their favorite drink but unable to get a vegan-friendly side option to go with it. This loss might turn into a negative vibe that can reflect in their reviews and ratings.
Lately, stats indicate that vegan diets are on the rise. It will be wise for the alehouses to consider vegans to gain more future patrons.
Scientifically proven, whenever a restaurant changes or adds to its menu, it draws more attention. Similarly, adding a vegan menu will attract vegans and create an overall versatility and positivity to its already popular “name.”
The close-knit vegan community will surely share their views on the alehouse that provides better vegan drinks and food. It will further result in rapid growth in reach and new customers.
Who doesn’t love variety? It excites us when we see options, be it a meat lover, a vegetarian, or a vegan. The addition of a vegan menu will indeed create curiosity in the mind of non-vegans too. They are most certainly to try the vegan menu, too, for a quick taste test. Who knows? If the food is good enough, they might order the same in the future.
So, it is always a wise option to add the vegan menu separately. The alehouses can indeed generate more sales with this move.
Drinks unite everyone, especially if you’re at a pub. In the same way, vegans are united for their same choice and selection of food. It would be nice to serve food for every appetite.
How Can You Order Purely Vegan Food at an Alehouse?
Ordering purely vegan food of your choice is tough at alehouses. The miscommunication between you and the waiter may end up delivering you the wrong food. You might end up having a veg dish instead of a vegan.
It is better to go through the menu properly and look at the ingredients mentioned. If you don’t get enough info, it’s better to talk to the manager to know everything you want. This can help you to choose a vegan-friendly side to your drinks.
In most cases, the inclusion of dairy products often goes unnoticed at alehouses. It is good to check whether the salads, the beverages, or the main dishes include dairy products or not.
Better communication and a careful approach can sort your problems with ease.
In a Nutshell
It is now time for the world to consider the vast choices of vegans. As for walk-in pubs, they should rethink their menu for vegans.
Alehouses are primarily meant for drinking, along with some quick bites to munch on. However, many alehouses now offer dining features, providing a wide range of main course options with drinks. Vegans may get confused and upset when they cannot find the right food to order at an alehouse.
Within a few years, you can expect alehouses to realize the urgency to add a dedicated vegan menu. That will finally solve the long-standing dilemma of all vegan food lovers!

Under 16s make up less than one percent of NHS patient surveysSeptember 20, 2011 in Medicine & Health / Health
Children under 16 make up less than 1% of participants in national NHS patient surveys, finds research published online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
But the issue is particularly important as young adults who are asked about their experiences of the NHS, are less satisfied with the care they receive than older adults, say the authors.
In 2010 the Kennedy Report concluded that services for children and young people receive disproportionately lower priority in the NHS and that these often provide mediocre care.
Current government policy places a great deal of emphasis on patient feedback as a spur to improving the quality of care.
The researchers reviewed 38 national surveys undertaken between 2001 and 2011, covering all aspects of NHS care.
Patients under the age of 16 were included in only one of these surveys, equivalent to just 0.6% of more than 10 million respondents since 2001, and none since 2004.
Most of those aged 16 to 24 were positive about their experience of the NHS, but they were less happy with the care they received than older adults.
Around 80% of young adults said they were happy with the care they received in emergency departments in 2008 compared with 89% of older adults.
Similarly, the 2009 Inpatient Survey showed that 86.5% of young adults were happy with the level of care they received. But this compares with almost 93% of older adults.
As for primary care services, 83% of 18 to 24 year olds said they were satisfied with the level of care they received, compared with 90% of older adults.
Young people also tended to say they felt less involved in their care, had less confidence and trust in their doctor, and felt they were treated with less respect and dignity than older people.
"Despite the current focus on services for young people and the importance of patients' views in improving services, the voice of under 16s is not included in most national surveys," conclude the authors.
And they go on to say: "Failure to listen to the views of under 16s is not an issue confined to England. We are not aware of any other country that has conducted systematic national surveys which look at young people's experience of healthcare."
They conclude: "As our data show, NHS services are often good at listening to young people and making them feel involved in their care during individual consultations. However, at the national policy level, there is a clear gap between our findings and the stated aims of professionals and policy makers to listen to young people."

Hi Paul and Nicola,
We wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how pleased we were with everything last Saturday.
The day ran so smoothly and the food was out of this world! I have had so many thank you cards this week commenting on the marquee, food, service and the pig! We had the most amazing day and can't thank you enough! It was better than we'd ever imagined!
On more than one occasion we both stopped to take it all in! The marquee looked amazing, especially when the sun went down and the lights lit up. It was just beautiful. I wanted you to know, as you both played such a big part of it! We will sing your praises loud and most definitely use again for future events!

|Vince Wilfork tweets he had surgery, turns his attention to ‘the role of patient’||10.01.13 at 6:26 pm ET|
In an acknowledgment that he had surgery on his torn right Achilles on Tuesday, Vince Wilfork tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he will focus his efforts on getting himself back on the football field by being the best patient possible.
Wilfork reportedly tore his right Achilles tendon on Sunday night on the first defensive series of the game and was carted off the field.
Wilfork assured fans that his wife Bianca is watching him closely, taking care of him and forwarding all messages to him from fans. Bianca Wilfork later tweeted out a picture of Wilfork post-op with him showing the thumbs up gesture.
Wilfork wrote out his thoughts on an iPhone Tuesday, took a screen shot and tweeted the picture.
Here was the text of his message:
I just want to thank everyone for your support and encouragement. Bianca is making sure I see all the comments I will I could respond to everyone. But please know your words are heard. One thing I know is that I signed up to play football I don’t regret anything that has happened and there is no need to feel sorry about it. I’ve been blessed to have had only one surgery prior to today and that was in highschool … I know what signing up to play football means and I know the rewards and the risks. This is my job and I will switch positions for now and play the role of patient but that is only temporary. I have so much confidence in my team and I know that they will do great and I will be right besides them maybe not in uniform but in all other ways. Thanks again
Sunday was likely his last time in a Patriots uniform until next season, when he is in the fifth and final season of a contract worth $40 million.

|Vince Wilfork shows his love and appreciation for Bianca: ‘Every ball I get, she gets – it’s not mine’||12.02.12 at 6:57 pm ET|
Vince Wilfork is a good family man and a great husband. He makes sure he and wife Bianca WIlfork share everything.
Bianca is unquestionably the most visibly supportive spouse among all Patriots players.
She’s at every game, home and on the road.
And Vince has a great way of showing his appreciation.
Any time he gets a fumble recovery – or an interception as was the case in 2011 – his first course of business is to head to the sidelines and hand the ball to his bride. Such was the case Sunday when Trevor Scott broke through in the second quarter and stripped Ryan Tannehill of the ball. The ball popped up in the air and right at the feet of Wilfork, who hopped on it for his team-leading fourth fumble recovery.
‘Every ball I get, she gets. It’s not mine,” Wilfork said. “It’s like I make plays for her. She was excited, I was excited, and the team was excited. This defense, we’ve done a real good job of getting turnovers. We had a couple on the ground today but we didn’t get. We walked away with one. But it’s always good to get them and I was just in the right place at the right time, and I was pretty excited about it.”
TV cameras confirmed this fact as they showed vince flipping the ball to Bianca in the front row of seats behind the Patriots bench.
|Plenty of current and former Patriots get together over the weekend in South Florida for Heath Evans’ annual 7-on-7 tournament||06.19.11 at 4:53 pm ET|
Former Patriots fullback Heath Evans talked to us awhile back about his sixth annual 7-on-7 football tournament, and it went off Saturday afternoon at his old high school, The Kings Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla. As expected, it had a heavy New England flavor ‘ Evans played with the Patriots from 2005 through 2008, and was joined by defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and defensive back Darius Butler, as well as Wilfork’s wife Bianca. In addition, former Patriots on hand included linebacker Don Davis and wide receiver Donte Stallworth.
Evans took to Twitter Saturday night to celebrate their attendance, telling me “[They] knocked it out of the park today! Donte especially!” Stallworth added: “Great times, bro. … Heath Evans is a BEAST!!! I’ve always had love for him but even more so now (if it’s possible).”
Gatorcountry.com has the full report on the day’s activities here. Evans’ tournament is unique for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it comes with a lunchtime talk from NFL players like Wilfork on integrity, making the right choices and how to truly accomplish success.
‘They get a chance to hear from someone who’s living it,’ said Wilfork, who was in attendance for the third straight year. ‘A lot of these guys have the dream of playing at the level that we’re already at.
‘It’s just an amazing event,’ he added. ‘A great way to just stay in touch with the future. You get a prime look at the future before it even gets here.’
‘I think so many kids set goals on what they think is at the end of the rainbow, and when they hear that when you get there, you’ve still got these issues and you’re still faced with tough decisions,’ Evans said. ‘I think it kind of gives them a glimpse of hope of what is true perspective, what are the things I really need to be chasing after, and just knowing that there’s guys that are rooting for them that have been where they’re at, and know what they’re facing, and can encourage them in the right direction.’
|The Big Nickel: Wes Welker talks about Ed Block and Aaron Hernandez says he doesn’t have a Twitter account||12.30.10 at 1:45 pm ET|
FOXBORO ‘ Here are the five most important things to know about the Patriots on Thursday:
1. Wide receiver Wes Welker was almost sheepish on Thursday morning when he was asked about what it meant to win the Ed Block Courage Award, an honor given to one player on each team who best exemplifies the principles of courage and sportsmanship while also serving as a source of inspiration. It’s an award voted on by the entire team.
‘I think it was kind of by default in a way just because of the circumstances ‘ I was the only one who was really hurt this offseason,’ Welker said on Thursday morning. ‘But it’s definitely an honor to be in the same breath as him.’
Welker tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in the 2009 regular-season finale in Houston, but had reconstructive surgery and returned from his injury ahead of expectations. He was back in the starting lineup at the start of the 2010 season, and he heads into Sunday’s regular-season finale with 86 receptions for 848 yards and seven touchdowns.
‘Being able to come back from the offseason that I had and last season, the way it ended, it’s definitely an honor,’ he added. ‘I’m definitely happy to have my name on the Ed Block Courage Award.’
Welker was asked if there was any added satisfaction in being able to be back on the field on a regular basis so soon after suffering such a devastating injury.
‘I’d say I take a little bit of satisfaction out of it,’ Welker said. ‘But at the same time, I just want to get back out there with my teammates and get back out there and play ball, and go out there and do what I love to do. Being able to do that and get back as early as possible was a key thing for me. Just trying to keep it going the rest of the season.’
2. Welker also touched on a variety of other topics in a Q&A with reporters than ran nearly seven minutes. (For how he feels about the possibility of playing this weekend, check out Mike Petraglia’s story here.)
What’s the most important thing for a young player to realize heading into the postseason? ‘I think the season really starts now and understanding that it’s been a long season and everything like that, but you have to stay on top of it and make sure you’re pushing through and understand what’s at stake and don’t let up and don’t get comfortable and every play and every game is so crucial and important, and you have to stay on top of that.’
On Tom Brady almost serving as an offensive coordinator on the field: ‘He definitely has a lot of input. At the end of the day, whatever Tom likes, that’s what we’re going to be doing. Whatever he’s comfortable with ‘ I know our coaches do a great job of game-planning, and getting ready. From there, it’s really up to the players to go out there and run the plays and make sure you understand what coverages you’re going to see and getting ready for them. … He’s definitely the guy puling the trigger, so whatever he decides out there and whoever gets open, that’s who he’s going to get the ball to, and making sure we’re all in the right spots for him and let him make the reads from there.’
How much does this team take on Bill Belichick‘s personality? ‘I think as much as it can. He does a great job of staying on top of us and making sure that we’re not getting head of ourselves or anything like that and making sure we’re focused on Miami this week and what a great team they are and to continue to go out there and play hard and get ready each and every game and each and every play and be ready for the Dolphins this week.’
3. True to Belichick’s promise, the Patriots practiced outside on Thursday afternoon, working on the lower fields behind Gillette in sweats and shells. There were only three players missing from the start of the session ‘ offensive lineman Dan Connolly and defensive linemen Ron Brace and Mike Wright.
