Melissa Rivers is talking about why she decided to release a book, The Book of Joan, just eight months after her legendary mom's death.
INSIDE EDITION's Deborah Norville, who was a close friend of Joan Rivers, brought Melissa back to The Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan, one of the nightspots where her mom would try out new material.
Norville said to Melissa, "A friend of mine once said to me, 'Your mother's voice will ring in your heart forever.' What is it that you still hear your mom say?"
Melissa said, "Beside get your hair out of your eyes? Everything will be okay. It is going to be okay. It is going to be okay."
It's still hard for Melissa to believe that she's gone.
Melissa said, "The one thing that I did that she would have hated was letting everyone come to see her."
Even with her mom in a medically induced coma, Melissa knew that she would want to look her best, so she brought hair and makeup team in the hospital.
"You want that person if they can feel anything at all, to feel loved and know how important they were. She never believed she was special or important to anybody" said Melissa.
A tearful Norville said, "She didn't know how much we cared?"
Melissa replied, "She knew you cared but I don't think she allowed herself to believe."
Norville then said, "That is why it was important that you let everybody come."
Norville was honored when Melissa asked her to give a eulogy at her mom's funeral in September.
Melissa praised Norville and said, "She would have been so proud."
"I was so proud," declared Norville.
Norville then asked, "Where will you put your mom's ashes?"
"In Wyoming where we went every year for family vacation. In New York. In London. Here is the thing, she became the custodian of everyone's ashes. So, I literally have closets filled with ashes," said Melissa.
Laughter is coming easier these days and Melissa's book is full of funny anecdotes about her mom.
Melissa said, "I put in some of her report cards from when she was a child!"
Norville then read an excerpt from the book, "She is fast overcoming her tendency toward bribery in order to win friends." She then said, "She would literally give you the watch off her arm because she gave me one! It wasn't the Cartier, unfortunately!"
Melissa then replied, "That is because I got that one," and showed that she was still wearing it.
Another thing Joan's fans never knew about, her charity work in suicide prevention, which inspired by the suicide of Melissa's dad, producer Edgar Rosenberg in 1987.
Norville said, "She volunteered at the suicide hotline. I always wondered what that one person who was about ready to knock on heaven's door would do?"
Melissa and Norville then both jokingly imitated Joan saying, "Grow up!"
Melissa has filed a malpractice suit against the doctors and the clinic where her mom went in for a procedure to check on a raspy throat and never woke up. Among other claims, doctors are accused of taking pictures while Joan was unconscious.
"It was so egregious and incomprehensible what happened. You get angry," said Melissa.
Norville then admitted, "I think your mother would be glad you are doing this."
Melissa said, "Thank you for being a friend and family to me and being everything you have been to us."

The soundtrack to Disney's animated hit Frozen has been named the world's biggest-selling album of 2014.
The disc, featuring songs by Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell, topped the global rundown with 10 million physical and digital sales, according to a report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
The soundtrack, released in 2013, sold four million copies more than the second place artist Taylor Swift, whose album 1989 achieved global sales of six million despite only being released in October (14).
The top five was rounded out by Ed Sheeran's X, Coldplay's Ghost Stories and In the Lonely Hour by Sam Smith.
In the singles chart, Pharrell Williams' Happy came top with almost 14 million sales, followed by Katy Perry's Dark Horse with 13.2 million. Other songs in the global top five include All of Me by John Legend, Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass and Frozen hit single Let It Go.

Have you ever stepped on a thorn from a citrus tree?
I have. Recently. :-(
The one that I stepped on was over 25mm (an inch) long, and it went straight through the sole of my well worn jogger, into the ball of my foot.
On the upside, I didn't have to worry too much about infection, as it bled profusely enough to clean out the wound. It also led me to dispose of a pair of old shoes that were overdue for retirement.
On the downside, I wasn't able to wear heels for about a fortnight, which led me to abandon plans of attending an event that I would have liked to have gone to.
In anticipation of Wednesday's nail appointment, I got my red siren stilettos out on Monday night and wore them for a few minutes to see if I could. As usual, they were tight but wearable.
It still aches a bit occasionally, but I'm guessing that by the time I next have an opportunity to wear heels (I'm guessing that will be when work slows down again in the next school holidays in about 3 months), it probably will have pretty much healed.

|Singapore - Your Partner for Legal Solutions in Asia
The SMU School of Law ("Law School") admitted its first batch of students in August 2007. There are two core programmes offered by the Law School - a 4-year full time undergraduate Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme, as well as a 5-year double-degree programme, which combines law with SMU´s existing non-law programmes in Accountancy, Business, Economics, Information Systems and Social Sciences. The Law School also offers a full-time graduate law programme called the SMU Juris Doctor (JD) Programme, which was introduced in 2009, a 3-year program. This is an additional route for those who aspire to become qualified persons for the purpose of entry into the Singapore legal profession. The SMU Law School distinguishes itself by offering a fully seminar-style pedagogy, contextualised learning and a holistic and global perspective through a broad-based curriculum and a mandatory internship requirement. The Law School's students are also required to fulfil a mandatory term of pro bono work and Community Service. The SMU Law School is made up of a collegial team of faculty with postgraduate degrees from renowned universities worldwide and are dedicated to producing excellent legal research and writing.
Please visit the SMU School of Law website for further information.
The National University of Singapore Faculty of Law is widely regarded as Asia´s leading law school. Staffed by a permanent faculty diverse in origin and qualifications, NUS Law is dedicated to building a vibrant community, and creating an environment that facilitates critical thinking and reflection on the fundamental legal issues confronting our interconnected world.
Located in Singapore, which for more than a century has been a commercial hub at the crossroads of Asia, NUS Law is very much Asia´s Global Law School. Since 1957, our curriculum has been infused with perspectives from other jurisdictions and disciplines. This tradition has accelerated in recent years, providing a legal education that is comparative, international, and multi-disciplinary.

Everybody who hires in the software industry complains about how hard it is to find good QA people. It's no wonder, considering how little we respect them and how little we pay them.
Testers are power users on the inside of your team, but nobody listens to them because nobody respects them.
Make the QA lead the equal of the Design and Dev Leads in your hierarchy. Give the QA Lead line management over the QA team. It is weirdly commonplace for the QA team, including the QA Lead, to be line managed by the Dev Lead.

EMerge Alliance Updates Key DC Power Standards for Commercial Buildings
Latest revisions add desktop power distribution and secondary utilization voltages to expand utility of on-site alternative power storage and use
Continuing its effort to offer advanced standards for the flexible, resilient, reliable, sustainable and efficient use of distributed renewable power in commercial buildings, the EMerge Alliance today announced the release of major updates to two of its previously released standards. EMerge Alliance Standards are the world's first of their kind for the greater utilization of safe, low-voltage direct-current (DC) power in commercial facilities.
The standards updates allows further application of hybrid ac/dc power microgrids at the building level by defining additional critical physical and electrical requirements that achieve the following goals:
- Simplified and more flexible reconfiguration capability for the task/desktop of the occupied space
- Expanded use of secondary utilization voltages in data center and central office applications
The updated Occupied Space Standard expands its scope to include the definition of power parameters and physical connectivity right down to the individual task/desktop level. The new revision embraces direct current power requirements of several connectivity protocols including the new USB-PD and the latest PoE technologies. In the expanded standardized scheme, higher voltage DC power is down converted directly at the task level without the need for numerous and wasteful AC to DC power conversions at the device level.
The updated Data Center and Central Office Standard has also been expanded in scope to include a variety of secondary AC and DC voltages used within a typical data center. The revised standard provides additional connectivity of auxiliary equipment to access on-site alternative power generation, including solar panels or micro-turbines that naturally generate DC power. This option to use native DC power generated from these on-site sources improves building efficiency, reduces energy costs and reduces environmental footprints.
Throughout development of the EMerge Alliance Standard updates, the Alliance incorporates the latest technology requirements and contributions from a wide variety of industry stakeholders, including leading product manufacturers, service providers, utility companies, and technology integrators. According to EMerge Alliance President Brian Patterson, these updates represent the ongoing effort of the Alliance to keep its standards in a vanguard position for the entire building industry.
"EMerge Alliance Standards continue to enable a new era in power sourcing, distribution and management in commercial buildings," said Patterson. "While we advocate increased use of native DC power, the Alliance is not interested in reliving the battle over AC versus DC technologies. Rather, we've set out to find better and more practical ways of getting the most out of both."
The Alliance has third-party registration and interoperability certification programs for labeling products based on its standards. This helps Alliance members, system specifiers and building inhabitants to ensure reliable interoperable products will be available from the growing EMerge Alliance ecosystem comprised of multiple suppliers and that each product is easily identifiable in the marketplace.
The EMerge Alliance Standards are available to Governing, Participating, General, Corresponding and Liaison Members of the Alliance. A public overview version of the updated Standard and answers to frequently asked questions are available at http://www.EMergeAlliance.org. To join the Alliance, please visit http://emergealliance.org/en/join/index.asp.
About EMerge Alliance
EMerge Alliance is a nonprofit, open network of more than 100 organizations reinventing electric power through the development of forward-thinking standards for the highly efficient use of hybrid AC/DC power in a variety of residential and commercial buildings and campuses. EMerge standards focus on delivering DC power directly to digital electronics and power storage systems, simplifying the use of locally produced clean energy and making systems more flexible, resilient and sustainable. The EMerge Alliance Registered Product Program is the industry's only program designed to simplify the use and adoption of DC power products.

Clint Dempsey leads US past Costa Rica into Gold Cup Final
Published Sunday, July 23, 2017 12:31 AM by Shane Barrow
Saturday night the massive AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas welcomed the United States and Costa Rica for the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal. Both teams arrived in solid, yet unspectacular form. Costa Rica needed an own goal to win their quarterfinal over Panama while the US were quite sloppy in a victory against El Salvador. Despite not being at their best both teams clearly had sites on a finals appearance.
It only took seconds for the Americans to signal their intentions. Despite leaving Clint Dempsey on the bench, it was a very attacking lineup from coach Bruce Arena with Jozy Altidore flanked by Darlington Nagbe and Jordan Morris. In fact it was only seconds after the opening kickoff that Jordan Morris blasted off the Costa Rica woodwork. Aside from an off target CR volley it was all one way traffic in the early going.
The US narrowly missed going ahead in the 15th minute when Joey Altidore got deep into the Costa Rica penalty area. He drew the keeper out before sliding the ball back towards the spot where young Kelly Acosta was running in. Acosta couldn't quite reach the ball and scuffed his shot high and wide.
Meanwhile, the pro-USA crowd and the American players were becoming increasingly frustrated with the referee from El Salvador who bailed out Costa Rica defenders on several occasions with very soft whistles. The questionable calls slowed the American attack multiple times.
Costa Rica finally threatened in the 37th as Bryan Ruiz worked a bit of magic. He pulled a nice turn on Michael Bradley at midfield and raced away. Ruiz sprinted thirty yards to the US box where he passed to Marco Urena. US keeper Tim Howard darted out and denied the Urena shot keeping the match scoreless.
It was a cagey start to the second half as neither side asserted themselves much over the first ten minutes. In the 57th Paul Arriola raced into the Costa Rica box getting to the end line where he fired a dangerous low ball across goal. It took a deflection narrowly missing goal and out for a corner.
Thirty minutes to go and everything to play for. Clint Dempsey was introduced to the match to the delight of the 45,500 strong Texas crowd. Would he be the one to break the stalemate? In the 70th minute a Dempsey pass nearly did as Kelly Acosta forced a nice save from Pemberton in the CR net. The US were clearly pushing for the win.
Soon after Clint Dempsey made his mark on the match with a perfectly weighted ball that sprung Altidore in behind. Pemberton sprinted out but Jozy expertly slotted home for the lead. Costa Rica were rattled with only 15 minutes to get the goal back they were in a bad place. A tall order for sure. Clint Dempsey made sure that was that when he bounced home a curling free kick around a poorly placed Costa Rica wall. Game. Set. Match.
And with the Dempsey heroics the US book their place in the Wednesday Gold Cup final to face the winner of Mexico and Jamaica. Clearly the best performance of the Gold Cup from the Americans and so far. Now can they win one more and claim the trophy?

It is summer in New Zealand, and so we are all currently inundated with lots of juicy, refreshingly sweet summer fruits. Among my favourite summer fruits are plums and nectarines and I absolutely love cooking and baking with them. One of my friends has just recently purchased his first home, and his new place came complete with a plum tree. So at work one Friday afternoon we got an all office email that there was a box of mini yellow plums that we could raid. As I am greedy, I took a couple of kilograms of fruit and then started scheming about all the ways in which I could use this fruit.
Plums hold a lot of water, so you do have to drain off the excess liquid during cooking. Do not, under any circumstances add water to the pot that has the plums in it as it will water down the flavours. The plums will ooze water very quickly under heat, and so after a minute or so there will be enough of their own juices for them to cook in. If you are using large, red plums this process will take a bit longer, and they will leak less liquid. It also depends how fresh the fruit is of course. More aged fruit, will result in more liquid in the pan. I know draining seems like it will take away from the flavour in the final crumble, but this dish was still quite tangy, and I almost wanted more apples to balance the dish. My partner absolutely loved it the way it was, which surprised me, as since I bake a lot of crumbles, he has become quite the crumble critic.
The cooking process accentuates the tangy, sweet flavour of the plums and so this dessert is great served with whipped cream or a vanilla ice cream. Just whip up a 300 ml bottle of cream or add a spoonful or two of ice cream and you, and your dessert guests will be away laughing. You can definitely add nuts to the crumble topping. I did not in this case as my flatmate is allergic to nuts.
Crumble topping –
- 1 c flour
- 3/4 c brown sugar
- 3/4 c rolled oats
- 3/4 c coconut
- 1 T cinnamon
- 1 t nutmeg
- 1 t vanilla essence
- 150 g butter, cubed
Fruit mix –
- 4-5 medium sized apples
- 1 kg plums
- 1/2 c caster sugar
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 t nutmeg
- 1/2 c cold water
1 Preheat the oven to 180°C on fan bake.
2 Peel, core and cut each apple into eighths then de-pip all of the plums and break in half for mini plums, or quarters for medium to large plums.
3 In a medium pot add the apples, water and fruit mix cinnamon and boil until the apples start to become mushy. Drain off any excess water.
4 At the same time in a medium pot add the plums and fruit mix nutmeg and boil until the plums start to become mushy. This will only take a few minutes for mini plums. Drain off any excess water (this may need to be done more than once).
5 In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients for the crumble topping, except for the slivered almonds.
6 Soften the butter in the microwave then mix through dry ingredients until it forms a crumb.
7 Place two fruit mixes in a oven proof baking dish and mix together.
8 Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mix and then sprinkle the slivered almonds over top of the crumble mix. Bake in an over for 30-40 minutes or until golden on top and bubbling.
*Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Have you tried this out? Be sure to tag me in any and all Instagram posts if you give this a go! (@lana_holla and #splatteredapron) I would love to see how yours turns out!

Dead to Me
by Mary McCoy
Publication Date: March 3, 2015
Genre: Mystery/Historical Fiction
Bang Bang Rating: 1/2
Sixteen year old Alice hasn't seen her sister, Annie, since she left home four years prior. But when Annie is beaten and left for dead, Alice must solve the mystery of her sister's assault. Set in 1940's Hollywood California, Dead to Me has an old Hollywood tone.
Dang, That was Good
- Alice is a spunky teen. She's incredibly clever due to her love of mystery novels. Alice is extremely likable. I think her ability to evade near death is a bit over the top but I got over it.
- The writing is okay. It's not difficult to follow and it's relatively high energy through out.
- The setting is interesting.
Thats too Bad, Dang
- I guess there was a fascination with decoding things in the 40's. Alice and Annie used to communicate through codes. There are a couple of ciphers and the author does her best to explain them but it was a bit too confusing and I stopped caring.
- The description says that you'll be guessing all the way to the end but the book basically tells you whodunnit midway through. The second half is just the characters trying to find evidence to convict the killer. This makes the story drag.
- There's a major crime that happens and the reader knows there's a crime but we don't know the specifics. The novel tries to make it seem scandalous and I guess it was a scandal in the 40's but in the new millennium, not so much.
It was okay. The characters are good and the writing is okay but there's nothing really extraordinary about it.
If you like spunky girl detectives, try The Diviners by Libba Bray. It's set in 1920's New York and has an element of paranormal creepiness.

Compare Premarin Vaginal Cream vs. Provera
Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, ratings, and more.
Relieves vaginal dryness and pain due to menopause.
Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens) works well for vaginal problems caused by menopause, and it has fewer side effects than estrogen pills.
Regulates your menstrual cycle and supplements estrogen treatments for menopause.
Provera (Medroxyprogesterone) works well to regulate your menstrual cycle and stop irregular bleeding. It also protects the uterus from estrogen's harmful effects.
- Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens) relieves vaginal dryness and irritation to make sex more enjoyable.
- Works locally in the vagina and doesn't expose the rest of your body to estrogen like pills do.
- Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens) doesn't need to be used forever, so you can work with your doctor to see how long you'll need to continue treatment.
- For painful sex, it can work better than over-the-counter vaginal lubricants because Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens) treats the cause of the problem (low estrogen levels), not just the symptoms (dryness).
- Provera (Medroxyprogesterone) can be used to treat multiple hormone problems in women.
- After menopause, taking estrogen raises your risk of uterine cancer. However, taking progesterone, like in Provera (Medroxyprogesterone), along with estrogen gives you the positive effects of estrogen, but also prevents it from damaging your uterus.
- Women taking an estrogen/progestin combination medications have a lower risk of uterine cancer.
- Vaginal estrogens can weaken latex (rubber) condoms, cervical caps, and diaphragms, so you can't rely on these for birth control for 72 hours after using Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens).
- If you have severe vaginal dryness, you might have pain, bleeding, or infections from repeatedly inserting the applicator.
- Some of the medicine can be absorbed into your partner's skin, so you can't have vaginal sex right after using Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens).
- Even though Premarin Vaginal Cream (Conjugated Estrogens) is used in the vagina, it's possible some of the estrogens will get into the rest of your body and cause side effects that happen more often with estrogen pills.
- You can't take Provera (Medroxyprogesterone) if you've had a hysterectomy (your uterus removed). You also can't take it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have unusual vaginal bleeding, or have a history of blood clots, certain kinds of cancer, stroke, heart attack, liver problems, or bleeding problems.
Used for
- Vaginal dryness and inflammation
- Painful intercourse from menopause
- Amenorrhea
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Prevention of uterine cancer in women taking estrogen
- Endometriosis
- Premenstrual syndrome
- Breast cancer
- Uterine cancer
- Pelvic congestion syndrome
- Birth control (male)
- Hirsutism
- Loss of appetite
- Osteoporosis

text: I'm one of those odd people that wants the next handheld Zelda game to be a side on 2D platformer, but for it to still have the same sort of gameplay. Would be great in a Castleroid sort of way, and different. There was Legend of Zelda: Castle of Ganon but the guys behind it cancelled that game. But whatever as someone has had the same thought (though they're not the first) and did their own take on it, introducing Legend of Princess the latest game from Konjack who developed Noitu Love 2 which is something I can't say I recall to be honest. Its a short little game but I hope its gonna be continued as its pretty freaking great, though not without its bugs (its freeware and new after all). For god sake someone get this guy working on some WiiWare! Source with download

Many of us put eating healthier on our list of New Year's resolutions, so new dietary guidelines out Jan. 7 arrived at a useful time.
The federal nutritional recommendations, revised every five years, are the first ever with a limit on added sugar – no more than 10 percent of daily calories, or one can of soda for the average adult. Too much sugar is blamed for the epidemic of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
But we should take some of these recommendations with, well, a grain of salt.
Nutrition and public health experts don't agree on all of them. Plus, there are allegations that some food and agriculture interests had too much influence on the guidelines, jointly issued by the departments of agriculture and health and human services.
For example, a scientific advisory panel called for cutting back on red and processed meats, which the World Health Organization says probably contribute to cancers. But the meat industry objected, so instead there is more general encouragement to eat other protein such as seafood and nuts. Also, the guidelines keep the advice that saturated fats – in foods such as red meat and butter – should be no more than 10 percent of calories.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine sued the agencies over egg producers' attempt to drastically weaken the guidance on cholesterol. The industry and supporters cite new research that high-cholesterol food only marginally adds to levels in the bloodstream and that drugs and exercise are more effective in reducing cholesterol. While the final recommendations drop the long-standing numerical limit, they still urge people "to eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible."
Critics say the guidelines should further lower the recommended limit for salt, which stays at about one teaspoon a day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that even without salt added at the dinner table, the vast majority of Americans consume sodium well above the recommended limit.
As a whole, Americans – and especially teenage boys and men – are being urged to eat less animal protein and more vegetables. But after Congress intervened last month, the guidelines dropped "sustainability" language that encouraged all of us to consider a diet based more on plants because that would do less damage to the environment.
There's a lot at stake. The scientific advisory panel noted that half of all Americans – 117 million people – have one or more preventable diseases linked to bad diets, coupled with lack of exercise, including high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and several kinds of cancer. More than two-thirds of adults and one-third of children are overweight or obese.
The guidelines set the standards until 2020 for federal food purchases in programs such as school lunches, food stamps and aid to pregnant women and children.
For the rest of us, these are only recommendations. But maybe there will be a nagging voice in our heads to turn down that juicy steak on the menu, or pass on another scoop of ice cream. All of our individual decisions could lower health care costs and make us a healthier society.

The Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE is comprised of two distinct Competitions. Each Competition has the following three phases:
- Registration
- Qualifying Round judging
- Final Round judging
The Final Round judging event will culminate in an Awards Ceremony.
Registration Phase
During this phase, teams will be invited to register for the competition and submit supporting materials such as study results, diagrams, videos and prototypes. Once a team has been enrolled as a competitor, they may present materials for consideration at any point until the close of the Registration Phase for that particular event of the Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE. This will allow a certain amount of flexibility and enable teams to update their submission as they uncover more evidence or create more materials that might help them in the competition.
- The XPRIZE Foundation will create a set of formal guidelines outlining what will and will not be considered by the judging panel. This will prevent the judges from being overwhelmed by hours of video footage, undecipherable data, etc.
- A complete team registration for the Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE includes:
- Submitted and approved Intent to Compete Form
- Confirmed team account on Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE Team Portal
- Brief technical description of proposed technology
- Proof of legal entity status
- Paid $1,000 USD registration fee
- Signed and approved Master Team Agreement
- See schedules above for specific registration deadlines.
Qualifying Round Judging Phase
During this phase, the judging panel will assess the submitted material and narrow the field down to 10 finalists. The panel will be composed of experts from the various sub-fields of sensing and may include advisors to consult on specific entries. This group may work independently or together to select the competitors that have created the most impressive technology or application based on the six judging criteria: validity, usability, relevance, originality, interoperability and affordability.
- As sensing is an enormous, heterogeneous field, there will be no specific benchmarks established for any of these criteria. Instead, the Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE will rely on the judges' expert knowledge and the teams' submitted material to establish notability.
Final Round Judging Phase
This phase will allow the judging panel to more rigorously examine the 10 finalists. The Final Round judging phase will bring competitors and judges together, providing teams with the chance to present their sensing technology in a live setting where they are encouraged to interact with the judges. If the competitors have gathered any new or additional evidence that might support their entries, they may submit it during the Final Round judging phase. Finally, judges will be given the opportunity to question and probe the teams to better evaluate them along the six judging criteria.
The Awards Announcement
The winners of each Nokia Sensing XCHALLENGE event will be announced at the conclusion of the Final Round judging phase. The XPRIZE Foundation may elect to announce the winners of each event at a major industry conference and provide finalists with the opportunity to display and showcase their systems.

The Russian President started a public lesson in Yaroslavl
President Vladimir Putin began an open lesson "Russia looking into the future". The event takes place in Yaroslavl, where the President arrived earlier than 1 September, reports TASS.
The Day of knowledge, Putin held a videoconference to communicate with students from different regions of the country.

A year before this President came in, created on his initiative educational center "Sirius" in Sochi. The head of state spoke about the benefits of education, the dangers of confusion and explained why the ruble weakened.

Most buyers do not have enough cash available to buy a home, so they need to obtain a mortgage to finance the purchase. Since the buyer will probably make their purchase conditional to obtaining a mortgage, the seller has the right to be informed of buyer's financing plans in order to evaluate the strength of the offer to purchase. This is one of the major reasons that financing details are included in the offer.
Financing is an important contingency. When we review the offer to purchase we will discuss the details of the financing condition. If the buyer has mortgage pre-approval the offer is more likely to be accepted. The mortgage approval process may include having an appraisal of the property completed by a professional appraiser and submitted to the lender. The lender will contact the appraiser they want to use. The appraiser will contact us and we will coordinate the appraisal. The mortgage amount the lender will provide is based on the lesser of the accepted purchase price or the appraised value.
Down Payment
As part of the offer, the buyer will need to disclose the size of the down payment, which includes the good faith deposit and the balance owing after the new financing. Once again, this allows you to evaluate the likelihood of the buyer obtaining a mortgage. It is easier to get approved for a mortgage when there is a larger down payment.
Interest Rate
Another reason for including financing information in the offer is to protect the buyer. If interest rates suddenly become volatile and rise quickly the buyer may be looking at a mortgage payment much higher than he anticipated. By putting a maximum acceptable interest rate in the offer, the buyer is protecting himself from such an occurrence.
At the same time, you will probably want to see that the buyer has some flexibility in the financing terms he is willing to accept. If interest rates are currently at four percent and the buyer indicates this is the highest rate he will accept, he would be able to cancel the contract without penalty if interest rates rose past that point. You would suffer because you have lost valuable marketing time and you may have made your own plans based on successfully closing the transaction.
Seller Financing
Occasionally a buyer requests to have the seller "take back" a second mortgage to help facilitate the purchase of their home. A seller "take back" is called a second mortgage because it must take a second position on title after the first mortgage. A second mortgage has a higher risk and therefore the buyer should expect to pay a higher interest rate than the holder of the first mortgage. In cases when the seller does not need all the proceeds from their sale in order to purchase their next property, this is an option. The advantage to the buyer is that by combining your down payment and the second mortgage from the seller, he may be able to avoid paying mortgage insurance and save himself some money.
If a seller "take back" is part of the offer, the offer should include the terms the buyer wishes to pay on the second mortgage. Keep in mind that the first mortgage holder needs to know this information so they can underwrite the buyer's mortgage, and the lender may have certain minimum requirements. The minimum payment can be "interest only" with a balloon payment at the end of the term. Longer mortgage terms and payments that also include principle payments and interest are possible.
Cash Offers
If the buyer is one of those rare individuals making a cash offer to buy a property, it makes sense that there is some documentation with the offer that shows that the buyer has the funds available. A bank statement would be fine. If the buyer has to liquidate stock or some other asset, the offer should give a timetable on when the buyer will provide proof the asset has been converted to cash.
Other Financing Details in Your Offer
The offer should also contain information on whether the buyer is obtaining a fixed rate or an adjustable rate mortgage. It should also state whether the buyer is obtaining conventional mortgage, or a high ratio mortgage.

Jerry Brown Rallies Other States to Fight for Paris Climate Accord
He has been called Governor Moonbeam, has run for the Presidency but for Jerry Brown his role as Governor of California has been his calling. Brown has reduced the deficit, strengthen the economy of California and has been a strong environmentalist. Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would leave the Paris Climate Accord which sought to slow down the greenhouse effect and reduce the increase in planetary temperatures. Trump may have withdrawal the US from the pact but Governor Brown is not withdrawing his commitment to the pact.
Moments after the President with the U.S, Brown issued a scathing statement. "Donald Trump has absolutely chosen the wrong course. He's wrong on the facts. America's economy is boosted by following the Paris Agreement. He's wrong on the science. Totally wrong. California will resist this misguided and insane course of action. Trump is AWOL but California is on the field, ready for battle." Brown stated.
As allies of the United States are reacting to President Trump's decision with anger and defense of the pact, Brown is headed for China. In an unusual political move, Brown will negotiate and discuss the future of the accord. Brown stated that" I'm going to do everything I can, and people are going to join with me." Brown also stated that he would "participating in a global climate summit and meeting with high-level Chinese officials, possibly including President Xi Jinping." Brown will bring to the table the 6th largest economy in the world.
Brown is not alone in this effort. Brown has joined Governor Jay Inslee of Washington state and Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York to form the U.S. Climate Alliance which will uphold the Paris climate agreement. Other governors have also expressed interest of joining the group such as Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
The new pact within the United States, requires the same goal of the Paris Climate Accord, which requires a 26 to 28 percent reduction in emissions from 2005 levels. Governor Brown's office stated that specific targets haven't been set for each state with California, New York and Washington together account for about 10 percent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
One reason the President said the U.S had to withdraw from the accord is jobs. Trump has stated time and time again that under the accord jobs have been lost. Brown sharply disagrees. Meredith Fowlie, a professor of economics at University of California Berkeley states that President Trump is wrong on jobs being lost due to environmental regulations. "GDP growth in California has outpaced the U.S. as a whole in recent years. Over this same time period, the state has implemented the most ambitious climate change policies in the nation. And CO2 emissions in the state have fallen."
California not only gained back jobs but due to new regulations on environmental concerns new jobs were created. William Fulton, director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University stated that "Blue collar industries initially left the state rather than stay in place, the pollution caused by those industries also left the state." Fulton who also served as the planning director for the City of San Diego, continued, "But the economy then shaped around that kind of aftermath, and there was growth in other areas like the green industry." When California implemented and gave financial opportunities to businesses for sticking to these policies, plenty of "green entrepreneurs" jumped at the opportunity. Businesses were created and the jobs that go with them.

text: Apple season is upon us and in full swing. We have been watching the commercial apple trucks go by the Inn loaded with fruit for a couple of weeks now. While we don't use truckloads of apples, we have been known to over indulge in Jefferson's favorite fruit now and again. There are several fantastic orchards in the area all selling very different varieties of apples and apple picking experiences. If cider is your thing, Albemarle Ciderworks and Vintage Virginia apples is your destination (and they are really convenient to the Inn!). Carter Mountain Orchard is another favorite; besides many varieties of apples, you can also find cider baked goods, local wine tasting and the best view around. This year, we are using local apples for several breakfast recipes and of course, an apple pie or two.

Sports Betting is getting bigger and bigger
The total value of the global sports betting market is difficult to estimate because of the lack of consistency in how it is regulated in some parts of the world. Some estimates put the value of the sports betting industry at between 600 billion EUR and 900 billion EUR. Illegal sports betting alone could be worth 500 billion EUROS according to some estimates.
According to to some sources sports betting makes up about 15 percent of the global gambling market, which also includes lotteries, casinos, gaming machines, bingo and other gaming. The gress win in global gambling system is estimated at more than 400 billion EUROS. Gross win from gambling represents the amount of money the gambling operation keeps from the customer's stakes, wagers, bets etc. less the winning paid out to the customer and before deducting operating expenses. With about one third of the global gambling gross win, Asia is the biggest market for gambling and sports betting.
Gross win from online sports betting reached about 15.5 billion 11.5 billion euros in 2012. An estimate from several years back projected a gross win of only around 6 billion Euros.

Category C. Corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. The more potent corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from topically applied corticosteroids. Therefore, topical corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively on pregnant patients, in large amounts, or for prolonged periods of time.
Corticosteroids have been used as drug treatment for some time. Lewis Sarett of Merck & Co. was the first to synthesize cortisone, using a complicated 36-step process that started with deoxycholic acid, which was extracted from ox bile . [43] The low efficiency of converting deoxycholic acid into cortisone led to a cost of US $200 per gram. Russell Marker , at Syntex , discovered a much cheaper and more convenient starting material, diosgenin from wild Mexican yams . His conversion of diosgenin into progesterone by a four-step process now known as Marker degradation was an important step in mass production of all steroidal hormones, including cortisone and chemicals used in hormonal contraception . [44] In 1952, . Peterson and . Murray of Upjohn developed a process that used Rhizopus mold to oxidize progesterone into a compound that was readily converted to cortisone. [45] The ability to cheaply synthesize large quantities of cortisone from the diosgenin in yams resulted in a rapid drop in price to US $6 per gram, falling to $ per gram by 1980. Percy Julian's research also aided progress in the field. [46] The exact nature of cortisone's anti-inflammatory action remained a mystery for years after, however, until the leukocyte adhesion cascade and the role of phospholipase A2 in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes was fully understood in the early 1980s.

Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company. ~Lord Byron
On our last morning, as pulled out to head toward home, you and Daddy went souvenir shopping.
You see - the two of you are so alike. You both look at everything all week. And throughout the week you change what you are "definitely going to buy" at least once daily. Most likely twice. And then, on our final morning - you are still not sure. You think you know - you do one last walk around the shopping area, and then decide.
This year, you both chose to build your own remote control cars at RideMakerz. The process was neat and you were both so excited to choose each step of the way.
When I look at this picture though, what I remember is what happened when we got home.
This year we started making Sweet Daddy's lunches - as a service to him. You and Pumpkin take turns. Whoever makes his lunch also makes him a short note, card or picture to brighten his day.
That first day we made Sweet Daddy lunches - you drew a picture of you and Daddy playing with your new cars and wrote the sweetest note.
Your cards are always funny - on that one you included Daddy saying "Xman Rocks!"
Daddy and I treasure these momentos - when you give someone gift, always take the time to write a thoughtful note in their card. Years later when the item is gone - the card will remain.

At the beginning G30 will be avaliable with range of 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline and diesel engines that are part of BMW's new modular engine family - each cylinder 500cc.
A hybrid version is also possible seen already in the X5 eDrive Concept.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established an interim policy to speed up airspace authorizations for certain commercial unmanned aerial system operators who obtain Section 333 exemptions.
According to the agency, the new policy helps bridge the gap between the past process – which evaluated every UAS operation individually – and future operations after it publishes a final version of the proposed small UAS rule.
Under the new policy, the FAA will grant a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) for flights at or below 200 feet to any UAS operator with a Section 333 exemption for aircraft that weigh under 55 pounds, operate during daytime visual flight rules conditions and within visual line of sight of the pilots, and stay certain distances away from airports or heliports:
- Five nautical miles (NM) from an airport having an operational control tower; or
- Three NM from an airport with a published instrument flight procedure, but not an operational tower; or
- Two NM from an airport without a published instrument flight procedure or an operational tower; or
- Two NM from a heliport with a published instrument flight procedure.
This "blanket" 200-foot COA allows flights anywhere in the country except restricted airspace and other areas, such as major cities, where the FAA prohibits UAS operations.
Previously, an operator had to apply for and receive a COA for a particular block of airspace – a process that can take 60 days, says the FAA. The agency that expects the new policy will allow companies and individuals who want to use UAS within these limitations to start flying much more quickly than before.
Section 333 exemption holders will automatically receive a "blanket" 200-foot COA. For new exemption holders, the FAA will issue a COA at the time the exemption is approved. Anyone who wants to fly outside the blanket parameters must obtain a separate COA specific to the airspace required for that operation.

Linux / Unix systems have Rsync, a very useful tool that does what it sounds like it does. Remote sync directories and files. It has a number of options and can be used in conjunction with SSH for secure syncing. Whilst there's a version available for Windows called CWRsync, which operates in the Cygwin environment, it didn't quite work in my situation.
Since Windows Vista, Microsoft have included a command line tool called Robocopy. However there are gui's available, see Wiki entry. Robocopy like Rsync, has a number of options and defaults to only copying the source files to the destination if they're newer or of different sizes.
With something like the simple batch script below, you can automate backups. You could assign this to a schedule in Windows but strangely I prefer to run it manually. I'll only mention the options I've used as there are quite a few.
Syntax is Robocopy
Robocopy "c:\users/me\My Documents\source" \\server\home\me /s /xo /FFT /Z /log+:"c:\users\me\My Documents\scripts\backup.log"
/s. Copy all non empty sub directories. /e will copy all including empty ones.
/xo. Exclude copying files if the destination version is the same or newer than the source.
/Z. Resume mode, in case of network problems.
/fft. FAT File times, 2 second granularity. I read of some people having problems with source dates not being correctly calculated and the source being copied in it's entirety each time. Using this switch was given as a possible resolution.
Note the quotes in the source path. Needed if you have any spaces in file / folder names.
The last line echo, makes the internal speaker beep when done. There's actually a character after the echo which has not been displayed here. How to obtain it for a script Open a command prompt. Windows key + r, type cmd.
Echo ^g > beep.txt
Then copy and paste the contents of beep.txt after your echo statement.
