Coroner's Office seeks help in identifying body
The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying a woman whose bullet-riddled and partially burned body was found Monday afternoon in a desolate part of New Orleans East.
The woman, who carried no identification, was shot multiple times in the chest and arms, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator. Her back was doused in an accelerant and partially burned, apparently in an effort to hide the cause of death.
An autopsy determined the woman likely was dead 24 to 48 hours before a crew doing excavation work near Michoud Boulevard and Interstate 10 discovered her body.
She is believed to have been black or Hispanic and between 20 and 25 years old. She was 5-foot-7, 156 pounds and had brown eyes.
Gagliano said the woman had long, black wavy hair and weave extensions.
She wore blue stud earrings in each ear, blue jean shorts and a white shirt with red or pink writing on it. The woman had pink toenail polish, fake eyebrows and breast implants. She had all her natural teeth and no tattoos, Gagliano said.
Anyone with information on the woman's identity is asked to call the Coroner's Office at (504) 658-9660.
Teen, 18, critical after 9th Ward shooting
An 18-year-old youth was in critical condition after being shot Tuesday night in the Lower 9th Ward.
Police said the teen was walking in the 6300 block of Chartres Street when he was hit about 7:20 p.m.
No other details were immediately available.
Man sought in robbery of two Walgreens stores
St. Tammany Parish and Covington police detectives are searching for a man they believe robbed two Walgreens stores over the weekend.
In the first robbery, which happened about 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Walgreens in Abita Springs, a man waited until the cashier opened the register to give another customer change, then reached in and grabbed a handful of cash before fleeing, according to St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Suzanne Carboni.
He fled in what investigators believe was a silver, four-door Pontiac Grand Am, she said.
In the second incident, a man entered a Walgreens in Covington about 2:15 a.m. Sunday and went to the counter to buy a pack of gum. When the clerk opened the register, the man reached in and grabbed an undetermined amount of cash before running from the store, according to Covington police.
Anyone with any information on either robbery is asked to call St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Detective Matt Vasquez at (985) 726-7830, the Covington Police Department at (985) 892-8500 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.
Violet man arrested after shooting, standoff
A Violet man was booked Monday night on charges including aggravated battery, home invasion and false imprisonment after he allegedly shot another man in the left leg inside an apartment building in Violet and held him hostage for two hours before surrendering, the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Brandon Robinson, 31, shot the 21-year-old victim just before 6 p.m., then kept him hostage in an apartment, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
Robinson surrendered more than two hours later following negotiations with officials after the sheriff's SWAT team was called to the scene.
A witness told investigating detectives that Robinson and the victim had argued in front of the apartment building and that Robinson had pulled a gun and forced the victim into a unit next door to Robinson's apartment.
It was inside the apartment that a shot was fired and the victim was struck in the upper left leg.
Robinson refused to come out after sheriff's deputies were called to the scene.
The victim was treated at Interim LSU Hospital in New Orleans, where he was listed in stable condition with no life-threatening injuries.
Woman, 36, booked in Hollygrove stabbing
New Orleans police have arrested a woman wanted in connection with a stabbing in Hollygrove.
Police believe Tequilla Dozier, 36, stabbed a man in the neck about 8:40 p.m. Saturday in the 2600 block of Eagle Street.
Detectives said the victim was standing in the driveway of a home when he was approached by a woman who began to swing her arm toward the victim, stabbing him once in the neck area.
Dozier was found at a home in the 4600 block of Baudin Street and booked in connection with the stabbing.
Gretna officer helps nab suspected gunman
A Gretna police officer on her way to work Tuesday morning spotted a man firing a gun at another man, which ended in the gunman's arrest after a chase, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.
About 6:30 a.m., Gretna Master Patrol Officer Dana Parker was on her way to the office when she saw a man in the 1100 block of Manhattan Boulevard fire a gun in the direction of another man.
Parker saw the gunman get into a white Chevrolet van and drive away toward the West Bank Expressway, said Col. John Fortunato, a Sheriff's Office spokesman. Parker notified JPSO headquarters, and a chase began on the eastbound lanes of the elevated expressway.
The van exited at the Terry Parkway off-ramp, at which time other officers stopped it and arrested Dannie Conner, 30, of New Orleans.
Conner was booked with illegal discharging of a firearm, aggravated criminal damage to property and resisting arrest by flight.
Technicians recovered several spent shell casings at the scene of the shooting, but the Sheriff's Office had not received any reports of anyone being injured, Fortunato said.
Investigators seek man in St. Rose slaying
The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office has issued a warrant for a suspect wanted in connection with the death of a New Orleans man in St. Rose.
Jonah Michael Wetwiski, 19, is wanted on a count of being a principal to first-degree murder in the death of Richard A. Bailey. ailey, 21, was found about 5 a.m. on Kennedy Street in St. Rose.
Anyone with information on Wetwiski's whereabouts is asked to contact the St. Charles Sheriff's Office at (985) 783-6807 or Crimestoppers (504) 822-1111.
Empire man arrested on various drug charges
Plaquemines Parish authorities said they arrested a suspect who was selling drugs from his Empire home.
About 4 am. Friday, the Plaquemines Sheriff's Office narcotics division and SWAT team served a warrant at a home in the 100 block of Ed Riley Lane in Empire after they received information that the owner, Travis Latrell Riley, 30, was selling drugs, said Cmdr. Eric Becnel, a Sheriff's Office spokesman.
During the search, agents seized 5.5 ounces of cocaine, 1.5 pounds of marijuana and 11 tablets of Xanax. They also confiscated a 12-gauge Winchester shotgun with five shotgun shells.
Items commonly used for packaging narcotics for resale, such as a vacuum sealer, plastic baggies, a digital scale, a razor blade, baking soda and a false canister, were collected as evidence. Electronics, including cellular phones, a tablet, a notebook, external hard drives and an USB flash drive were seized as evidence. Agents also seized $412 in cash, Becnel said.
Riley's two minor children were at the home when the warrant was served.
He was booked with possession with intent to distribute a schedule II controlled dangerous substance and numerous other related charges.
The total estimated street value of the seized narcotics is $14,155, Becnel said.
Riley remained in jail Tuesday. His bail was set at $92,500.
Toddler, 15 months, found in Algiers pool
A toddler fell into a pool Tuesday afternoon and possibly drowned, the New Orleans Police Department said.
Paramedics took the 15-month-old boy from the pool in the 3800 block of Tall Pines Drive in Algiers a little after 2 p.m. He was being treated at a local hospital but his condition was not immediately available, police said.

As is their usual wont, The Roots chose to introduce the special guest with a song that highlights a particular characteristic of said guest. In this particular case they chose Fishbone's "Lying Ass Bitch."
This is nothing new from The Roots although it may be the first time they called a presidential candidate a bitch. The Roots have a history of slyly mocking the guests as they stroll on to the set. A couple years ago, Questlove (AKA ?uestlove) ran down some of their best hits with Rolling Stone. Here's just three with an explanation from Questlove:
John McCain — The Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann"
Although I was gonna not wear my political sleeves on the show so much, I was not going to give in and miss my chance to have fun clowning McCain. Actually, I was pretty nice about it. My initial choice really drew the line and even I decided to let it go ("Hip-Hop Hooray" from Naughty by Nature — and if you really research and Google why you will understand why I decided not to do that mean of a walk on).
Mancow Muller — James Brown's "Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothing"
'Nuff said.
Ashlee Simpson — Milli Vanilli's "Girl You Know It's True"
What made this classic was the fact we did the VH1 Behind the Music version of the song in which Vanilli explained that the broken loop kept going "Girl, you know it's … girl, you know it's …" when they got busted for lip-synching in concert — and that is how we did it verbatim.
So Monday was Michele Bachmann's turn. Obviously unaware of the song choice, she did seem surprised by the songs ska style, which, if you're familiar with Fishbone, involves a lot of chootspah (god that never gets old!). Take a look and queue outrage in 5-4-3-2-… (rightly so?)

The year 2018 is off to a great start! Netflix has decided to renew Spike Lee's, She's Gotta Have It for a second season.
For those who thought they would never see a season two, Lee and the series' main actress, DeWanda Wise, both took to social media to confirm the news.
On Monday, Wise posted on her Instagram a cute throwback video of herself holding a bouquet of flowers, while she yells, "41 days straight." The video is from the production of the series' first season. Lee could be seen in the video yelling, "Come on."
Wise captioned the video, "Back ta werq! Season two is OFFICIAL!!! Can't wait to return to BK. Congrats to aaalll us. #HappyNewYear #ShesGottaHaveIt"
The Jungle Fever director also took to his Instagram to share a video of himself and his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, announcing the good news. Tonya also wrote and worked on the series. The director captioned the video, "Happy New Year. Happy Year. Great News for 2018."
Spike Lee Does It Again
The iconic filmmaker has stated that fans of She's Gotta Have It should thank his wife for making the series possible.
"It was my wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, producer in her own right, who had the vision to take my film from the big screen and turn it into an episodic series," Lee said.
The first season made its debut on the popular streaming service, on Nov. 23, 2017. The show took a stance on the issue of street harassment with the social media campaign, "#MyNameIsnt."
The original series is based on Lee's 1986 film, which he also directed and starred in. Wise stars as the series main character, Nola Darling. In the series, Lee revisits his feature film by following Darling as she struggles to stay true to herself and her dreams while trying to divide her time between her friends, her job, and her lovers.
Anthony Ramos, Cleo Anthony, Lyriq Bent and Chyna Layne are a few of the comedy's cast members.
Although a date for the new season has not been confirmed, it will most likely premiere in about a year, given how Netflix seasons usually work.

CALEDONIA - Sitting down to share a meal is often a Christmas favourite for many people, and the students at North Queens Community School had the opportunity to experience that for the first time recently.
On Dec. 19, the first-ever dinner for the entire school was held, serving up some Christmas cooking during lunchtime.
"Our goal was to provide a turkey dinner for students, staff and some special guests," said Jennifer Spencer-Weare, principal of North Queens Community School.
Between 250 and 275 people ate together in the gym.
A team of staff planned the dinner, and a number of students helped with the dinner preparations and cleanup.
"We asked parents and community volunteers to help scoop the food and serve," said Spencer-Weare.
There were about 25 or 30 volunteers who turned up to help out.
Spencer-Weare said there would be some small changes next year, but she said the school would like to continue the tradition by having the dinner annually.
"It was a huge success," she said.

"When I lived in Dallas, we often had potluck Tex-Mex dinners, altho not real potluck in the true sense as the menu was almost always the same. There was an appy (queso or 7-layer dip w/tortillas), guacamole was a must & dessert was a flan or sopaipilla. I always made the main course - Mexican Spaghetti w/a "med heat level", which was begun at the stove that afternoon & assembled in my crock pot to stay warm & serve easily that evening. The "heat level" is controlled by the picante sauce you use, but can be raised or lowered by adding spices to suit your taste preferences or using mild picante sauce. This is easily halved for a family meal. Enjoy!"

Basketball's New Don?
Jan. 9, 2009
ABERDEEN, N.D. (AP) - Northern State University coach Don Meyer could set the record for men's college basketball wins when his Wolves play the University of Mary in Aberdeen on Saturday night.
Meyer earned his 902nd career win last week in Fayette, Iowa, with a victory over Upper Iowa. It tied him with one of the most famous coaches in basketball, former coach Bob Knight.
John Feinstein, a writer and sports correspondent with National Public Radio, spent a season with Knight while Knight coached at Indiana University. He says Meyer and Knight both expect top efforts from their players while knowing how to get the best out of them.
The University of Mary, of Bismarck, N.D., has won three of 12 games so far this season.

Author(s): Nancy Singleton Hachisu
Japanese | Pickles & Chutneys | Preserving
Preserving the Japanese Way offers an easy to understand road map for preserving fruits, vegetables, and fish through a non-scientific, farm- or fisherman-centric approach. Backdrop to the 80 recipes outlined in this book, are the producers and the artisanal products used to make these salted and fermented foods. The arresting photos of the barrel maker, fish sauce producer, artisanal vinegar company, 200 hundred-year-old sake producer, and traditional morning pickle markets with wrinkled grandmas still selling their wares document an authentic view of the inner circle of Japanese life. Recipe methods range from the ultra-traditional: Umeboshi (Salt-Dried Sour Plums, Takuan (Rice Bran Fermented Dried Daikon), and Hakusai (Salt-Fermented Cabbage; to the modern: Shoyu Koji Zucchini Coins, Turnips Pickled in Plum Vinegar, and Melon in Sake Lees. Preserving with Salt & Koji also introduces and demystifies one of the most fascinating ingredients to hit the food scene in a decade: koji. Koji is neither new, nor unusual in the landscape of Japan fermentation but it has quickly become a cult favourite for quick pickling or marinades. Preserving the Japanese Way is a book about community, seasonality as the root of preserved food, and ultimately about why community and seasonality are relevant in our lives today.
Nancy Singleton Hachisu moved from California to Japan in 1988, with the intention to stay for a year, learn Japanese, and return to the United States. Instead, she fell in love with a farmer, the culture, and the food, and has made the country her home.

Comments and Wildlife Sightings book
Here are some extracts from our visitor book and comments on the wildlife visitors spotted whilst staying with us in Grimsay and touring throughout Uist.
1) List of species seen from An Taigh Fiodh
Mammals: red deer, otter
Birds: starling, stonechat, greylag goose, common sandpiper, herring gull, cormorant, grey heron, common gull, pied wagtail, mallard, house sparrow, raven, lapwing, collard dove, oystercatcher, great black-backed gull, red throated diver, hooded crow, buzzard, blackbird, red breasted merganser, feral pigeon,
hen harrier,skylark golden eagle (distant over Eaval)
2) Not a single midge was seen!
Clydesdale, shires, heavies,highlands, eriskays, connemara cross, shetlands, and donkeys.
Saw otters in loch across road during week 2..
Short-eared owls seen on Grimsay - 3 on one evening.
Also on Grimsay - on several evenings -a family of four golden eagles (adults and two noisy youngsters). Didn't see the youngsters hunting - just gliding from rock to to fence post and preening themselves in the evening sun.
Heard corncrakes at Balranald.
Enjoyed watching gannets dive,starling chase peregrine, swans, geese (greylag), eiders and shelducks with their young. Oystercatchers and lapwings in abundance.Droopsnoops and woodcock.
Other rapters: buzzards, hen harriers.
Beaches,rocks and wildflowers also very stunning.
3) Otters galore! At last, after almost 20 years of coming to the Uists and Benbecula on holiday we have been able to see otters here on Grimsay, right in front of the house. A large dog otter came on a nightly basis from the sea loch over into the freshwater lochan and having swam up and down for a while would then come out just above the gate of the cottage opposite and go back into the sea loch. We think there was also a smaller female otter following the same course.
We have always enjoyed the wildlife, flora and fauna of these islands and this experience has now added to that enjoyment.
4) Visited all the main islands, twice a sighting of a stag (right beside the road), some eagles and lots of seals especially from the ferry to Harris.
And very much at home, here.....
The Hebrides are very special. The openness and the bare lands, a very special beauty. New houses right beside ruins.New cars shining next to Grandad's rusting wrecks. The old and disused exists right next to the modern. An atmosphere of authenticity and forgiveness, so seldom found in this world. You can be what you want to be, here, because it has been so for thousands of years. Past and future in complete harmony....We'll be back.
Oh well....back to Amsterdam, the city of Smiles.With 15 paintings and over 2000 photographs.
5) A wonderful stay; this is a very special place.We saw a golden eagle, our first ever, on the coast near Sollas. A few buzzards, a kestrel, a female hen harrier and an unidentified bird of prey that was quite white-breasted (like a peregrine?) Plenty of deer on the moors.
On a clear day, the views of St. Kilda from the viewpoint (off the Sollas Road) were magical. We spent a very rewarding afternoon learning book binding techniques from Corinna Krause of Sollas Bookbinding.
Also a pleasure to hear people speaking Gaelic - mor sibh a laochra Gaeil! - and to visit the magical Hut of Shadows just outside Lochmaddy. Uist is a true island experience, and standing on top of Eaval (research your route very carefully) you will feel you are surveying a magical but also very unspoiled little kingdom.
P.S.Apologies for the overuse of word 'magical - justified in the circumstances,however! We do know other words!

Careers In Welding
- September 2014
Click here to download the Massachusetts Welding & Metal Fabrication Frameworks.
The Welding & Metal Fabrication Instructors, David Morgan and Jesse Edwards, are developing a top quality program that is current with the needs of the business community, driven to best serve the educational experience of students, and guided by the Massachusetts frameworks.
The Welding & Metal Fabrication Program develops student skills for eventual entry-level career opportunities upon graduation. Safety is of paramount importance and students begin their training with a strong foundation of safety measures and build upon those critical skills for the entire time in the program.
Welding and Metal Fabrication provides a theoretical and technical foundation to support a safe, hands-on learning experience using a variety of tools, equipment and materials. An innovative industry-based curriculum blends applicable math, science, and metallurgy with state-of-the-art equipment. Authentic, project-based work prepares graduates for career opportunities within many fabrication and manufacturing environments.
FCTS, as the regional vocational high school of Franklin County, does so much more than teach in a lab classroom and simulation environment. Trade programs have large shops filled with the same tools and technologies used by those men and women working in the trades. As a true extension of the classroom, authentic projects are critically important to the learning environment. FCTS facility projects, along with projects for municipal and non-profit groups, offer hands-on learning to the students. Real world projects truly provide the students with an opportunity to apply what they have learned. Our students thrive on authentic work! You can demonstrate and practice a skill - but there is nothing like using those skills for real, under the direction of your instructor who now acts as your field supervisor.
Welding & Metal Fabrication Customer Work: Requests for FCTS welding and metal fabrication work must provide educational value to the students and must align with the curriculum. If you are a municipal group or non-profit organization, or to find out more about FCTS welding work, you can contact Jocelyn Croft, Director of Vocational Curriculum.

The program develops a theoretical and technical foundation to support a safe, hands-on learning experience using a variety of tools, equipment and metals. An innovative industrial based curriculum blends trade related math, science, and metallurgy with state of the art equipment.
Welding processes covered in a project-based format include Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Oxy-acetylene, and Plasma Arc Cutting. The shearing, bending, rolling and forming of metals are also included in a project-oriented format. This program is based on American Welding Society and American Society of Mechanical Engineers standards. Students will have the opportunity to work towards certification to these standards.
Employers prefer to hire welders who have graduated from a welding trade school because they've have had the opportunity to learn the math, drawing, physics, chemistry and metallurgy needed to weld properly.

In speaking to many people about health and skincare, I find one of the most common concerns today among conscientious consumers is the desire to replace their current skincare products with "greener", less chemically composed, and more environmentally friendly ones. I love natural skincare alternatives, so this week's pick are Dr. Hauschka's Daily Face Care Kits. The Dr. Hauschka brand makes incredibly wonderful natural products made from organically and biodynamically grown plants that are free of synthetic fragrances, preservatives, colors and GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Also, the company does not test its products on animals.
The Dr. Hauschka Daily Face Care Kits are great since they give you the opportunity to sample several different Dr. Hauschka skincare products, which is especially useful since every person's skin reacts differently to each product. They are also perfect for traveling. I have combination skin that tends to be on the drier side, so I like the kit for Normal/Dry/Sensitive skin, which includes: Cleansing Cream, Cleansing Milk, Facial Toner, Moisturizing Day Cream, Quince Day Cream, and Rose Day Cream.
Within this kit, I particularly like the:
Cleansing Cream – A non-greasy cream containing small granules that gently exfoliate the skin. Moisturizing, yet rinses clean.
Toner – Good basic toner. Leaves skin feeling refreshed, not tight or dry.
Quince Day Cream – Very absorbent non-greasy mustard yellow light weight cream.
They also sell a kit for oily skin containing the following:
Cleansing Cream, Clarifying Toner, Normalizing Day Oil, Facial Steam Bath, Cleansing Clay Mask, and Rejuvenating Mask
Cost: $21 – $25
Value: Good
Accessibility: Moderate
Where: Whole Foods Market, Amazon.com-Normal/Dry/Sensitive, Amazon.com-Oily, DrHauschka.com
Enjoy and stay posted for more beauty tips and picks to come next week!

Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all-time favourite film, ever. It's puzzling to some, how I keep watching something that went into production over 50 years ago and yet each time coming away with something new. To me, it's one of those films with so many "layers", a tale of ambition, love and the promise of adventure. So, here are 5 life lessons I've learned from Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Be Adventurous.
Even though the lead character Holly Golightly is a bit of a loose cannon, she does have marvellous ideas. Doing things you've never done before is one of the best ways to gain life experience and grow as a person, and even conquer some fears. A simple example is that Donna and I almost never spend our time together in the same way, purely because it's an adventure to try something new.
We don't belong to each other
This is a tough one to grasp sometimes, and it often feels like when you're in a relationship, whether it's romantic, familial or even platonic that you become so close that the other person is virtually part of the furniture. Knowing that it's possible to exist as separate entities makes one appreciate the other person more, and makes it easier if circumstances result in a temporary or permanent separation.
There's Such a lot of world to see
Okay, so this isn't necessarily part of the screenplay, but rather part of the song moon river, composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It won the Academy Award for best original song in 1962, and two Grammy awards in that same year. And later performed by the likes of Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra. In the film, Audery Hepburn does a cover of the song on her balcony while contemplating life.
" There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the band
My huckleberry friend, moon river
And me."
As they say, travel is the only thing you spend money on that makes you richer.
You can't run away from your problems
To me, this is basically what the film boils down to; Holly has so many problems that she avoids and absolutely refuses to take responsibility for. In the end they all catch up with her and she's forced to use her somewhat misguided moral compass to do the right thing and face the music. I'm not really the biggest fan of conflict, whether its internal or with other people so this is especially helpful for me to remember.
You need best friends that will keep even the most ridiculous promise.
Friends that understand you are lovely, but friends that support your convictions even when they don't fully understand them are the friends that stick around no matter what.
Happy Friday!

Social media has been awash with comments over the weekend about a video made by National Geographic about a penguin cheating story.
For those who have not seen it yet, this is how the story goes. A penguin husband returns from a long hunting season to his matrimonial home to find out that his wife is cheating on him with another male penguin.
He gets into a nasty fight with the home-wrecker and then calls his wife to come and choose who she really wants. She chooses the newfound lover. He is fuming with anger understandably; he is losing his wife, his kids and his home. The two guys go at each other again; this time it is bloody and they start to aim for each other's eyes with their beaks. There is blood everywhere.
The fight pauses and the wife is called again to make a choice. She sticks to her earlier decision. Feeling rejected, the penguin husband walks away from his home in what looks like a separation with imminent divorce proceedings to follow in the colony.
Now what life lessons can the penguins teach us.
1. Fight for the love of your life
The two men were ready to fight for the woman they loved. Despite being a home-wrecker, the new guy deserves commendation for having fought well to keep his woman. The penguin husband also fought for the mother of his children and although he lost, there is no doubt that he was such a brave guy to get into a fight to keep a cheating partner.
2. Don't travel far away and don't stay too long.
Your partner has feelings too so don't travel so far away for a long time thinking that they will be okay and you can come back and find them waiting for you. Some people desire physical attention and affection and during those long periods of absence, they will cling onto the next available person willing to give them that companionship they desire. A relationship is a work in progress, that may sound like a cliché, but that is the fact. It can't work when you are far away with no physical connection to each other. You simply will grow apart.
3. Give it a chance
Although it may seem like a dull move, the penguin husband was willing and ready to give another chance to his wife to make a decision to correct any mistakes they may find themselves in. Always ensure that you have a clear message from the other party before you make a decision. The only problem is that sometimes some people are not worth another chance.
4. Make a decision and stick with it
Although she may be hated for cheating on her husband, there is at least some good attributes we can learn from the penguin wife. That is; being bold and staying with your decisions. Some women (humans) are fond of giving mixed messages. It is either you like him or you don't. There is no middle ground here. The penguin wife was brave; stayed with her decision to leave her husband and was unapologetic about it.
5. Move on!
This is the ultimate lesson. Don't try to work out a relationship that has clearly gone south. Move on when the other party shows no interest any longer. Don't stay in a relationship when it seems like you are the only one showing all the love. There comes a time when you need to cease fighting for someone who is not interested in you and quite frankly doesn't deserve you. After all, 'there are so a lot of fish in the sea.'
According to National Geographic, the fidelity rate among penguins is pretty high (an average of 72 percent). This simply shows how the penguin was not worth the fight. And can we marvel at the narration for a moment?

Have I mentioned my love for gingerbread? For me, it just wouldn't be the holidays without it. In fact, I have 2 gingerbread cookies that I bake every Christmas. But gingerbread is more than just cookies…
This time, I decided to satisfy my gingerbread lust with cake, and honestly couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome. This cake is so moist, and dense, and intensely flavoured, just like a gingerbread should be (in my opinion). And then I decided to top it off with my Whiskey Glaze (because I've been looking for another use for it ever since I made Spice Cake Doughnuts).
If you do not have a bundt pan, you could try baking the batter in two 9×5 inch loaf pans (the bake time will likely change, so start checking on them at 40 minutes). However, I really encourage you to get an actual bundt pan. They have the capability of making even the most basic cake recipe a centrepiece. And are especially beneficial to those who may be less patient when it comes to cake making, as there's no frosting and layering involved. Fancy doesn't get much easier than this! 😉
Be sure to give yourself time to make this right. The recipe is easy but time consuming, as the cake should be wrapped and allowed to rest overnight. This gives the flavours time to mingle and balances the texture (other wise you may have crunchy edges).
Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Whiskey Glaze
Recipe Type: Dessert
Makes: One 9-inch bundt cake
- 2 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour

The talk at this royal wedding was all about "The" Royal wedding.
"The buzz at the Royal wedding of Queen Elizabeth's cousin Prince Philip of Serbia to commoner Danica Marinkovic at the White Palace in Belgrade was that Prince Harry would announce his engagement to Meghan Markle during the holidays," according to a source at last weekend's union, where celebrations last three days.
Rumors that Harry and Markle would marry started popping up online Wednesday, with Us Weekly reporting that the engagement has already happened and the announcement would come "soon."
"There were two dozen royals at the wedding and the buzz was about 'who's next,'" we're told.

Markle, who stars on the USA Network program "Suits," is slated to wrap-up filming in November. While she and Harry did not attend Prince Phillip and Marinkovic's celebration in Serbia, royals including Queen Sophia of Spain attended the grand fete, which was hosted by the groom's father, Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine Of Serbia.
One of the 800 guests in attendance called it a "fairy tale wedding" that was reminiscent of one very famous 2011 British wedding.
"It transformed the beautiful bride from a commoner into a Princess in the same way Kate Middleton became a royal when she married Prince William," we're told. Also in attendance was international travel blogger Valerie Jour, who famously doesn't show her face on her popular Instagram feed, but that didn't stop guests from recognizing her.
"She showed her face to the royals," we're told.

28, December, 2014
By Kapele Mutachi
The Congolese Solidarity Campaign and Abahlali Basemjondolo held a successful march on, Saturday, 8 November 2014 as thousands of members marched to Durban's City Hall in solidarity to the violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A memorandum was handed over to the representative of the South African Ambassador for the DR Congo regarding the assassination and other violent crimes. The Congolese Solidarity Campaign demanded for peace and sovereignty in the DR Congo. They demanded an end to genocide and human right abuse. They also demanded an end to the balkanization of the DR Congo.
They also demanded an end to all sexual violence against women and children. They reject the DR Congo Constitution change and demanded an end to looting of minerals and other wealth of their country. The Congolese people who are living in South Africa wanted to show the local and international public opinion that the incidents taking place in the DR Congo are being ignored. Even though we are not at home in the DR Congo, we can make a change and show solidarity to our country. All we want is justice and peace and for the genocide to end.
The march was very vital for Congolese, just simply because we wanted to justify to South Africans why our people are here in their country, and some more people are still jumping borders to enter in the land of Mandela. We wanted to show them that the problem of DR Congo, it is not our people but the leaders who want to overstay in power. Most of South Africans did not know why our people are living in South Africa; some of them have been fed with wrong information. They say that we came here (Congolese) to take their jobs and women, but that day was the starting point for the South African public opinion to be given the appropriate information about our presence in the country.
They were able to know the reasons why our people are running away from their land of ancestors. We told them that there is no man on earth who wants to live away from his home. We told them that government, military, and police should exist to protect civilians, but in our country, especially in eastern part of our country, the government together with its securities establishments has failed and it continues to fail to protect, defend, and represent its own people. The government fails to restore state authority over our national territory and create opportunities to our people. As a result of that, our country is known is as a place of brutality, killings, torture, extortion, massacre, sexual violence against women, use of child soldiers, and economic exploitation. The South Africans were able to have some insights of some of the security challenges that have forced millions of our people to look refuge in different countries in Europe, Americas, Asia, Africa, and particularly here in South Africa.
Our intention was to pass the message on to the public opinion so that they can have a better understanding of our presence in South Africa, and seek solidarity with people of South Africa to help us to be the voice of the voiceless to see whether the South African community and government will come and listen to the cries of pains, and sorrows of our people. We strongly believe that South Africa is like USA in Africa, if it fully involves in this matter, we are hoping that peace and stability can be restored back home. We wanted to also make clear to our African brothers and sisters in South Africa that, the instability of our country is not going to be cost free in South Africa, simply because people will continue to enter in the country which will increase immigration pressure on South African side.
South African government is busy amending the immigration law in order to curb the influx of refugees in the country, but I do not think so if it is going to be the solution because majority of people who are coming from war torn countries like DR Congo are not ready to leave due to the insecurity, civil wars, human rights abuses, and lack of freedom of expression and association in their country. As a result, people will be willing to live without proper documentation. The only solution is for South African government to use its political and economic weight to push the government of DR Congo to institute sound democratic reforms so that its citizens should be free in their country.
South African government must make sure it uses its political leadership to other members state so that peace and stability can be restored in DR Congo and Africa. This is the solution that can help South Africa to avoid the influx of refugees rather than changing the immigration laws. The focus should shift from military intervention to political pluralism and private sector development to ensure accountability, openness, and responsiveness. Let us stand together to save Congolese people in the name of humanity.

The last 6 months have been hectic and it's fair to say that my routine and good intentions pretty much went out the window. The summer went by in a whirlwind of gorgeous weddings, holidays, teaching and dissertation writing. It was wonderful and I loved every minute, but I found it hard to keep hold of my good habits when every day was different. When I did have some time for myself, I became a master of procrastination and would frustrate myself with my ability to do absolutely nothing. In September, things became even more chaotic when I returned to teaching full-time whilst also completing my masters and trying to maintain some kind of social life. As usually happens with me, I tried to do too much and things began to unravel slightly. I've been exhausted, emotional and really, really missing Jess who feels so far away sometimes. Luckily, my boyfriend has been holding the fort amazingly, doing the washing, cooking and generally being very nice to me when I probably don't deserve it! He is also the one who got me thinking about how I can manage my stress better, and particularly about yoga. On one of my very stressed days he questioned why I hadn't been going to as many yoga classes; yoga is the only thing that calms me down and makes me relax (I notoriously cannot relax) and he was baffled as to why I hadn't been using this to help me. I snapped back that I didn't have time for yoga classes (I know I know…) but once I'd finished my rant he did get my thinking. Sometimes, it's just not possible to spend 90 minutes at a yoga class, however much you want to and however much you know it will help. With some of the amazing benefits of yoga being easily achieved off that mat, there are simple things that you can do to reap the benefits of the practice, whether you manage to attend a class or not. These are the things that I've been thinking about recently:
Be Kind to Yourself
When struggling with a difficult yoga pose it can be easy to beat yourself up about it. My forearm stand is my nemesis and sometimes I lose my yogi calmness in a bout of uncontrolled leg flailing that ultimately sends me plummeting back down to my mat, sweaty and frustrated. When I care less about the pose, stay calm and breathe properly, it's remarkable how much easier it seems to become. I think the same can be said about life in general. Be kind to yourself, don't force things that aren't ready and recognise that one day whatever it is that you're worrying about will feel easier. Forcing something only makes it harder and as a result there can be a massive sense of release when deciding to put is aside for a while. Remind yourself that you are doing everything you can do deal with what life is throwing at you and that you deserve a little kindness.
Spread Kindness
Being kind to yourself might be the first step, but being kind to others is equally important. When busy or stressed it can be easy to snap at people unintentionally, or not give them the time that you know they deserve. I know I am guilty of this. Paying someone a compliment, asking a friend how their day was (and actually listening to the response), putting your phone away when talking, giving up your time to help somebody else, saying thank you for the small things… all these things add up and will make you, and those around you, feel a little bit happier.
We breathe all day every day, but how often do we actually pay it any attention or use it to help us feel better? Lying in savasana and slowly inhaling and exhaling while focusing on the rise and fall of the belly is a great way to focus on the breath. It is such a simple way to bring calmness and relaxation to a busy day and only takes a few minutes. Just be careful not to fall asleep!
Appreciate the world around you
One thing I love about England is our seasons. The burning reds and oranges of autumn are my favourite and I love nothing more than the sound of crunchy leaves. Taking time to notice and appreciate the world and people around you can be really powerful. It's so easy to become absorbed in our own minds as we walk along or commute to work, that we don't even look up to see what or who is around us. Taking the time to look around can help to shift your thinking away from yourself and your problems and put them into a little bit more into perspective.
Paying attention to how you do something rather than just doing it on autopilot is all part of mindfulness. Brushing your teeth, making a cup of tea, walking to work… all the things that you do everyday, just with greater focus and attention. Try be very aware of your actions a couple of times a day and you'll be surprised at how quickly it can help to calm down the 'monkey-mind.' Like anything, it takes practice but is definitely worth persevering with.
Choose your attitude
This is one that I have stolen from a lovely friend of mine, who is currently commuting from Bristol to London for work, having just moved cities whilst also training to be a yoga teacher. However stressful things become, she always tries to choose her attitude: her current predicament could make her stressed and snappy but instead she tries to be grateful that she's living in a city she loves whilst also having the opportunity to pursue new and old work interests. The power of positive thinking is priceless and can really change how you approach life's difficulties. I have been trying to remind myself that I am lucky to have a job that I love and the opportunity for further education. I have a wonderful home, family and group of friends and try to be grateful for this everyday. Choosing your attitude can be incredibly powerful, so choose it wisely!

Inhalants are easily accessible, everyday products that are found in most homes and workplaces. Inhalants include everything from spray paints and markers to glues and cleaning fluids. Because these products contain volatile substances with mind-altering effects, people inhale them in order to achieve a high.
Inhalants are especially popular among young people, with the American Association of Pediatrics stating that nearly 20% of all eighth graders have experimented with some form of inhalant. In fact, according to the National Institute for Drug Abuse, inhalants are the only class of substance that is abused more by younger than older teens.
People who abuse inhalants typically ingest them by "huffing". Huffing is a term used for breathing inhalants through the nose or mouth. However, users can also sniff or snort fumes, spray the substance directly into their mouth, or place a rag soaked in chemicals in their mouth.
When ingested, the volatile chemicals in inhalants are quickly absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream. These chemicals reach the brain and other organs within seconds, causing a short-term "high". Because inhalants work directly on the nervous system, users will experience mind-altering effects and other intoxicating effects. The intoxicating feeling that inhalants produce contributes to its addictive nature. People begin to use more and more of the substance in order to achieve their high, leading to tolerance and sometimes addiction.
Most inhalants produce effects that are similar to anesthetics, meaning they slow down the body's functions. The initial high consists of a loss of inhibition and feelings of euphoria. Sometimes, inhalant use can have hallucinogenic effects that can distort the way you perceive time and the world around you.
Nitrites, a special class of inhalants, are abused mostly by adults to enhance sexual pleasure and performance. As a result, inhalants are associated with unsafe sex practices. People who use inhalants are more at risk for contracting and spreading infectious diseases including HIV and hepatitis.
Common long-term complications associated with inhalant abuse include:
The first and most important step towards recovering from an inhalant addiction is seeking treatment. Inhalant abuse treatment typically begins with a short detoxification process in which the patient will receive supervised care by a licensed professional. Turning to an established detox and treatment center is wise as many people will experience physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms including fatigue, hallucinations, tremors, and nausea.
The next step after detox is receiving therapy and support at an inpatient rehabilitation center. Because inhalants are readily accessible and easy to acquire, it is important that the patient is separated from those products for a short time. During inpatient inhalants rehab, the patient will receive counseling from trained therapists who will help them understand their addiction and teach them coping mechanisms.
Seeking the appropriate treatment for inhalant abuse and addiction will provide you with the tools, resources, and support you need to set yourself up for long-term success in your recovery process and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you or a loved one are struggling with an inhalant addiction and are ready to be admitted in a trusted rehab for inhalant abuse, contact HARP today at 561-379-3299 for inhalant treatment.

Purple bedding sets are a popular choice amongst many people today. Finding the right bed set will require having the right knowledge before you go out shopping and before you spend any money. There are quite a few things you'll have to choose from with purple bedding sets that you may not have been aware of.
No two purple bedding sets are quite the same, and the differences may not be noticeable by eye, unless you look at the price tag. So make sure you know what those differences are.
Purple Bedding Sets Buying Tips
The first thing you'll want to know before you go out shopping is the size of the bed you are buying for. This is common knowledge but some people do like getting a comforter that is a bigger size for their bed, maybe because their bed sits higher or has higher box springs.
So instead of buying a queen size comforter for a queen size bed, you may choose to buy a king size instead. Take a measuring tape and measure the length, width, and height of the bed.
The comforters themselves are all different as well. Some are made of down material, polyester, cotton, wool, silk, etc. Some are thicker but may not necessarily be warmer than others that are thinner. Usually though, the thicker they are, the warmer they are going to be.
These comforters also come in different stitch designs in which some will hold up and last longer and are more durable than others. Since purple bedding sets and purple comforters are so popular, you are going to find all of these options in your search.
The purple bedding sets themselves normally come with the comforter (duh), pillow cases, and sheets. Sometimes they will throw in a few pillows and duvet covers as well.
Purple Bedding Sets: Sheets
The next most important aspect to look for besides the comforter is the sheets. Sheets come in different qualities and are measured in durability and quality by their thread count. The thread count of sheets in purple bedding sets is how many threads there are in the sheet per square inch. Generally speaking, thread counts below 100 are not too good of quality, whereas anything above 100 is feasible. The count can go up to 1,000 and again, the higher the number, the more you are going to pay.
I hope that you have learned a few things about purple bedding sets that you may not have before. Whatever you do, be a bargain shopper and compare your prices before buying. You may also find some great deals on the internet. Do a brief search online for purple bedding sets and see what you can find.
