US reality star and former beauty queen Kenya Moore hasn't gone on record to deny that Nigerian businessman, MD of Sahara Group Tonye Cole is her famous 'African Prince', as it's being rumoured (readhere) but she subtly did when she tweeted a pic of the billionaire businessman and his wife as he graduated from Harvard Law School recently. No side chick tweets a pic of her man with his wife abi? So maybe Mr Cole is not the African Prince after all. Or maybe the African Prince doesn't exist.

A leatherback turtle heads out to sea after laying eggs on Jamursba Medi beach, Tambrau District, West Papua, Indonesia. Leatherback turtles, are the largest marine turtle species and are considered living dinosaurs as the species have been virtually unchanged for the last 100 million years. The species is critically endangered and may face extinction within the next three decades. Jamursba Medi beach, a remote beach with no villages or towns and one of the last remaining leatherback nesting sites in the western Pacific, is pegged as a site for the development of the Trans -Papua Highway. The construction of the road will threaten the turtle nesting area as well as important habitats for Papuas birds of paradise and other protected species. The Greenpeace ship the Rainbow Warrior is in Indonesia in its "100% Indonesia Tour" which aims to tell the story of Indonesia's rich biodiversity and call for urgent action to ensure that the country's oceans and forests are protected.

The most important part of food safety is people. How restaurant staff handle food is key to keeping Snohomish County safe from food-borne illness and disease. Food worker health cards - also called food handler cards - help ensure that all workers are knowledgeable about food handler best practices and safety.
You are required to get a Snohomish County food worker card if you:
If you receive food safety training from your employer, you are allowed to work for up to 14 days before you get your food worker card.
Note: www.foodworkercard.wa.gov is the only online training program authorized to provide you with a valid food worker card in Snohomish County and Washington state. Other websites that appear to offer a similar card are not recognized as a valid government-issued permit to work in a food establishment.
Online training is available in English, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian. It takes about one hour to go through the online class and take the test. You must pay the $10 fee by Visa, Mastercard or a debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo.
Before you log-in to take the class:
If you have any trouble during the online course, see these FAQs or contact the Snohomish Health District Food Safety Program at 425.339.5250.
We offer three food worker card classes each month in Room 103 at 3020 Rucker Ave., Everett (get Directions). Classes last about 90 minutes and are offered in English or Spanish. Cost is $10 and must be paid by cash or debit card. You do not need to register ahead of time.
Arrive 15 minutes early to ensure time for parking and signing in. There is no admittance after the class starts. Please leave young children at home.
If you are renewing a current food worker card, bring your old card (or a copy) with you to receive a 3-year card.
Booklets and tests are available in English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Cambodian, Tagalog, and Punjabi.
Prepare for the class by reviewing the manual in advance: Food and Beverage Workers Manual
Can I take the class and test online?
Yes. In addition to classes being available at the Snohomish Health District Everett location, the food worker card class and test can both be taken online.
Do I have to register ahead of time to take the class?
Pre-registration is not required.
When are the classes offered at Snohomish Health District?
Can I schedule a special class for a group or event that needs food worker cards?
Health District staff can provide group training off-site if desired. For a class to be offered at your location, you must have a minimum of 20 people. We generally schedule classes one to two months in advance. Contact our office to request a class: 425.339.5250 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
How much is the food worker card?
The fee for a food worker card is $10. We accept cash, credit or debit (Visa and MasterCard) for instructor-led classes at the Everett location. Only credit and debit (Visa and MasterCard) are accepted for online classes. Note: The charges for the food worker cards obtained online will be listed under Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department on your bank statement.
How long is the food work class?
The in-person class lasts approximately 90 minutes, including the instruction and test. Please arrive early to find parking and get signed in. There is no admittance after the class begins. Allow about 60 minutes for the online food worker class.
Is there an age requirement for the class?
There are no age requirements for obtaining a food worker card. The only requirement is taking the class and passing the test.
Do I have to retake the class and test to renew my food worker card?
Yes. To receive a 3-year card, you may renew your old card up to 60 days prior to the expiration date.
Expired cards are not eligible to renew for a 3 year card.
How can I get a replacement card if I lost mine?
You can get a replacement card (with the original test date) at the Snohomish Health District Environmental Health Division office in Everett. If you originally received your card online, you can print a duplicate.
The fee for a replacement card is $10. We accept cash, credit and debit (Visa and MasterCard) at the Everett location and credit and debit only online.
Can I read the test to a child or student with special needs?
Yes. We are happy to meet the needs of each person who needs a food worker card.
I am hearing impaired. What are my options for getting a food worker card?
Am I required to have a food worker card?
Cashiers, bussers, stockers, and dishwashers are all required to have a food worker card as a safety precaution. Many states are adopting "limited use" permits for these types of workers, but Washington State has yet to adopt these permits.
What options do I have if I speak a foreign language?
How long is my food worker card valid? How do I renew my food worker card?
Food worker cards are valid throughout Washington State for 2 years. You can renew your card for 3 years if you re-take the class before your current card expires - bring your old card with you when you take the class in person. If you renew online, bring your old card and the card you received online into Snohomish Health Department and we will issue you a three-year card.
If your old card has expired, you will only be able to receive a two-year card. You may be eligible for a five-year card if you have completed an approved advanced training such as a Food Managers Course.
Even if you have a food worker card, you are not permitted to work with food if you have:
Sick food workers should go home or be given duties that do not involve handling food , such as taking out the trash, cleaning restrooms, or busing tables.
3020 Rucker Ave., Suite 104
Everett, WA 98201
Snohomish Health District issues more than 25,000 food worker cards each year.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he turned to gastric band surgery because nothing else had worked to lose weight, and kept it secret because it was no one's business.
After The New York Post reported the surgery on Tuesday, the Republican governor appeared at a groundbreaking event and took questions about it. He said he underwent the procedure to better his long-term health.
"I tried a whole bunch of other things, they hadn't worked, this was an opportunity to try something different," he said. "This is about being healthier for the rest of your life."
The father of four agreed to the surgery, in which a tube was placed around his stomach to restrict the amount of food he can eat, after turning 50 in September, he said.
Christie has never disclosed his weight. But he joked about his size during a February appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman," pulling out a doughnut and saying his girth was "fair game" for comedians.
Christie was soon angered by comments from a former White House physician who said she worried about him dying in office. The governor said Dr. Connie Mariano should "shut up."
Days later, on Feb. 16, Christie had the surgery. He said the operation lasted 40 minutes and he was home the same afternoon.
Christie declined to say how much weight he has lost since the surgery. He said he doesn't feel that different.
Christie is running for a second term in November, although his name is often mentioned as a possible presidential candidate.
Gastric band surgery is pitched as a minimally invasive procedure. One version of it is sold under the brand name Lap-Band. Its website says the surgery is appropriate for adults who have failed with more conservative alternatives, such as diet and exercise.

Even the Coca-Cola Co., synonymous with tradition, known for its secret, unchanging formula (New Coke aside), has begun adapting to the future of CSDs. And it's showing faith in stevia, the natural, non-caloric sweetener.
Coke announced on Wednesday in a company release that it will sell a cola sweetened with sugar and stevia in Argentina. The new product, Coca-Cola Life, will contain half the calories of a standard Coke.
Coke has added stevia to more than 45 products sold in more than 15 countries, including high-profile beverages like Vitaminwater Zero and Fanta Select, according to Rosalyn Menon Kennedy, Coke's director of corporate external affairs. But the ingredient has never before been used in any form of its flagship cola. Kennedy said that the company believes in the ingredient, as proven by its partnership with Cargill for the 2007 launch of Truvia, a stevia-based sweetener. In March, Coke altered the recipe of Sprite in the U.K, adding stevia and dropping its calorie count by 30 percent.
Kennedy said that the launch corresponds with Coke's desire to offer variety with both products and formats, as evidenced by its widely-distributed mini cans, for example. The company isn't trying to fool drinkers into thinking Coca-Cola Life is another form of the original Coca-Cola, she said.
"We're not intending it to replace any other," Kennedy said. "It's really an addition."
While Kennedy said that the product was launched as yet another way to meet the demands of consumers and to continue Coke's commitment to variety, the announcement aligns with the current climate for CSDs. As reported earlier this week, U.S. consumption of CSDs has declined by 12.5 percent from 2002 to 2012, according to Beverage Digest.
PepsiCo also uses stevia, but mostly in non-carbonated, fruit-flavored drinks. In September 2012, PepsiCo launched Pepsi Next, a reduced calorie, stevia-sweetened version of its flagship, in Australia, according to an article in Reuters. However, at a conference in May, PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi said that stevia doesn't work well with colas. She also said that the advancement of sweetener technology could save the CSD industry.
"If you let this go too long, another three or five years, the consumers will walk away from [carbonated soft drinks]," she said at the conference.
Kennedy said that Coke realizes how cautious it needs to be when making a big decision like this, especially after the New Coke fiasco of 1985, which she called a valuable lesson for the company.
"It's probably the best example of how our company really came to understand and listen to consumers," Kennedy said.
Coca-Cola Life will hit the market this week in Argentina, and will grow only if it succeeds in its pilot market, Kennedy said. According to the Reuters article, Coke executives compared the launch to the 2005 debut of Coca-Cola Zero, which was introduced in Australia and now sells internationally.

His wife and the rest of the children came some time in 1906. (I have yet to locate them on any passenger lists) One of the children was born August 4, 1906, so Concetta most likely stayed behind till her daughter was born. Francisco's occupation is listed as "shoemaker" on this document. Later US census records show him working in a worsted mill and in a jewelry shop.
No doubt Francisco and Concetta moved their family looking for work and a better life. They have many descendants now who appreciate their sacrifices and love!
A favorite family photo shows Francisco holding his great granddaughter in about 1952. The photo was taken in Rhode Island where most of the family settled.
God Bless you Francisco!

1951 – 2011
"My music has become the vehicle by which I am able to create a sense of a safe and loving space. It is a space in which hands and arms and souls touch in gentle song."
– Debbie Friedman, 1997
That statement is an expression of the driving force in Debbie's life. Her music continues to teach, entertain and create community out of, what was once, a gathering of individuals. Her identity as a Jewish woman informed her life and served as a point of reference for all that she worked for in her life. She sang of her beliefs – she sang of her heritage – she sang of her commitment to finding the intrinsic value of every person. For those of you who have followed Debbie as she lived her passion, we thank you. For those who are, for the first time, getting to know Debbie's work, we hope you will find it meaningful on every level – comforting, exciting, humorous, and educational.
– Freda Friedman, Cheryl Friedman, and Barbara and Werner Egli

Randy Rahe not 'looking to leave' Weber State, refutes report of UTEP interview
OGDEN — With many college basketball teams searching for new head coaches, the El Paso Times reported Wednesday that Weber State head coach Randy Rahe was one of seven interviewed for UTEP's opening.
But the 12-year WSU head coach says he's not looking to leave Ogden.
"I have not talked to UTEP. I have not interviewed at UTEP," Rahe told the Standard-Examiner on Saturday. "The only thing that's happened is that the search committee that's representing UTEP contacted my representative. Since then ... nothing's happened."
> Ransacked in Reno: Weber State eliminated > Big Sky looks to Boise as tournament's next step > Big Sky membership changes, schedule shifts, expansion
A number of outlets, including the Fort Collins Coloradoan and the Loveland Reporter-Herald, have mentioned Rahe as a potential option to lead Colorado State's men's basketball team. Rahe worked as an assistant under Stew Morrill for the Rams from 1991-98.
Rahe said he's not had contact with Colorado State.
As a successful mid-major coach, his name occasionally circulates among lists of potential candidates and rumors for coaching jobs over his 12 seasons at Weber State, but Rahe said he's made no efforts to actively look for another job.
"I've never, ever been looking to leave Weber State. We've had quite a few opportunities in the past that have come up and we've looked at some situations, but my whole focus is here," Rahe said.
"I've got a long-term contract. We love it here. It's been a wonderful place for me and my family. The people, the community and the university have been so good to me and my family. I love being a basketball coach at Weber State."
Two years ago, Rahe signed an eight-year contract extension through the 2023-24 season amid similar overtures from other schools.
> Rahe signs 8-year contract to remain Weber State coach
At the time, Weber State athletic director Jerry Bovee acknowledged Rahe has been contacted multiple times about other jobs during his tenure in Ogden.
"He's been approached a number of times, and it's something I expect. I think it's a good thing, it means he's effective where he is now," Bovee said in 2016.
Rahe has an overall record of 228-127, the wins representing the most all-time at WSU and in the Big Sky Conference. He has led the Wildcats to three NCAA tournament berths and five Big Sky regular-season titles. He is also a four-time Big Sky Coach of the Year.

Tyler just found out that he has asthma. His mom and dad told him that they are going to have to make some changes around the house, but what does their house have to do with his asthma?
People with asthma have what is called a chronic (say: KRAH-nik), or continuing, problem with their airways (the breathing tubes in the lungs), which can get swollen and full of mucus. This problem is made worse by asthma triggers.
Triggers can be things like:
Triggers don't hurt most people, but they can make someone with asthma cough, wheeze, and have trouble breathing. Triggers don't cause asthma (no one knows exactly what does) but they can lead to asthma flare-ups. Your doctor will help you figure out what your triggers are.
As you probably already guessed, the idea is to control the triggers in your house. This is especially important in rooms where you spend a lot of time, like your bedroom.
Keeping the air at home clean is important. It can contain irritants (say: EAR-uh-tunts), such as:
Air pollution and pollen are triggers that can come into your home from outside if you leave your windows and doors open in warmer weather.
How can your family make sure the indoor air is clean?
Dust mites are tiny insects that live in dust. You'll find lots of them where there is food, in some kinds of bedding, and in rugs. Bedrooms usually have the most dust mites in a house.
You and your family won't be able to get rid of all the dust mites at home but you can take these steps if they're a trigger for your asthma:
Mold is a type of tiny living thing that is kind of like a plant. It grows very well in damp places like bathrooms and basements. Mold makes more mold by sending what are called spores into the air. Mold spores can be an asthma trigger.
The key to getting rid of mold in your home is keeping things as dry as possible. Your parents can:
Animals can be a big asthma trigger. The animal parts that can trigger asthma symptoms are dander (which are skin flakes — kind of like dandruff), saliva, urine, and feathers.
And pets aren't the only living triggers at home — cockroaches can be a major asthma trigger that can be difficult to avoid in apartments.
Unfortunately, if your pet is an asthma trigger for you, you may need to find another home for the animal. Short of that, these tips can help, but aren't as effective:
If cockroaches are a problem:
You want to be comfortable at home — where you spend most of your time — so try to remove as many asthma triggers as you can. When your house doesn't cause asthma flare-ups, it really is home, sweet home!

Book Talk

What emotions do the words "back to school" elicit in you? Fear? Joy? Ambivalence? In my case, high school was great; but seventh grade was the worst year of my life! Thanks to three "less-than-nice" classmates, being 12 was pure agony. Bring back any memories? Or, maybe, you are there right now. If so, you really need to check out "Mean Girls: Facing Your Beauty Turned Beast" (Revell) by Hayley DiMarco.
Not to be confused with the movie of the same name, "Mean Girls" takes a sympathetic "big sister" approach to the cattiness and outright nastiness many girls face each day at school. DiMarco not only addresses the very real pain that comes with being picked on, she encourages her readers to "fight back" with biblical ammo. Don't worry — this is not a cheesy, "drop Bible verses on them" prescription. DiMarco, instead, points readers to Scripture to learn how to overcome fear, jealousy and insecurity. She shows girls how they can stop the "mean" cycle in their schools and nip the curse of gossip in the bud. In spite of the heavy material, this book is fun to read and well designed.
While we are on the subject of girls and school, Shannon Ethridge ("Words of Wisdom for Women at the Well") and Stephen Arterburn ("Every Man's Battle") deal with flirting, skimpy clothes, body image and the pressure to have sex in their latest release, "Every Young Woman's Battle: Guarding Your Mind, Heart, and Body in a Sex-Saturated World" (WaterBrook). Ethridge's writing reflects her personality — honesty infused with empathy. She is passionate about this subject because she was date raped at 15, and her writing style is completely non-judgmental. "Every Young Woman's Battle" tackles the tough stuff: knowing where to stop, flaunting your body to get attention, "technical virginity," self gratification, making friends with the mirror and looking to a guy to meet all your emotional needs. Since most battles with sexuality really begin in the mind, the authors offer solid advice on guarding your thoughts.
OK, guys, we haven't forgotten about you. All people need to embrace their God-given identities, and a wonderful new book called "The Art of Being" (Shaw Books) will help you do just that. Author/editor Constance Rhodes ("Life Inside the 'Thin' Cage: a Personal Look Into the Hidden World of the Chronic Dieter") compiled essays on what it means "to be you" from recording artists such as Jon Foreman (Switchfoot), Ginny Owens, Jill Phillips, Matt Odmark (Jars of Clay), Sara Groves, Gabriel Wilson (Rock 'n' Roll Worship Circus) and more. Each contributor graciously opens up his or her own life and lets the reader learn from their experiences. As a native of Youngstown, Ohio, I particularly enjoyed reading Phil Keaggy's chapter on his childhood in my hometown. Christine Denté's essay on becoming the girl in the mirror is a "must read" for any woman struggling with appearance issues. And those of you who haven't yet read Tammy Trent's book, "Learning to Breathe," will want to check out the chapter dealing with the death of her husband and how she is learning to live without her beloved at her side.
Stories. You have one. God has one. All great movies have one. That's the point John Eldredge ("Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul") makes in his latest, "Epic" (Thomas Nelson). Think about flicks like "Gladiator", "The Matrix", "Titanic", "Braveheart" or "The Lord of the Rings." What makes them so good? According to Eldredge, they ring with universal truth — they borrow from the Story. They are filled with love, fellowship, a trial, a hero and a happily ever after — just like the gospel. It is no accident that all humans long for these things. God has woven them into our very being, says Eldredge, who, with "Epic," scores another hit. It is a great little book to give someone who is searching for meaning and, ultimately, God.
Want to look at the Bible with fresh eyes? Look no further than "Word on the Street" (Zondervan). I absolutely love Rob Lacey's street lingo version of Scripture. But purists beware! King James English this ain't! A cancer survivor with a passion for Christ, Lacey takes many liberties; but he doesn't compromise the core message of the gospel. Unique touches, such as turning the book of Jude into an e-mail, give "Word on the Street" a very "now" feel. Lacey has also been taking the Word to the street on a seven-city performance tour and with an audio CD.
Matt Redman, whose critically acclaimed book "Facedown" (Paraclete) has recently released, is reading "The Royal Way of the Cross" by François Fenelon. Here's what Matt had to say: "Fenelon is a French theologian from a couple of hundred years ago. I got hooked on Fenelon's writings ever since I read the line, 'Make yourself little in the depths of your heart.' That is fantastic advice for any worship leader (and, in fact, for any Christian). The same theme runs through so much of his stuff: getting over 'ourselves' and getting more consumed with Jesus. This book hammers home the point that He must increase, and we must decrease. At times Fenelon gets, perhaps, even a little harsh. (Make sure to read a book on grace soon after!) But, to be honest, a heart like mine needs a ruthless spiritual check-up every now and again, and this book helps get the job done!"
