Pride not prejudice drives LGBTI+ inclusion
This time of year isn't typically the season for rainbow flags and colourful parades down the main streets of cities and towns across Australia.
Elsewhere around the world, particularly in the United States and across Europe, June is Pride Month, a time when lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBT+) communities join together and reflect on how far they have come and to acknowledge how much more there is still to do. Sometimes it is a celebration, sometimes it is a political statement, and often it is a mixture of the two.
If you have ever wondered "Why is there Gay Pride?", you are not alone. It is something that even I, as a gay man, was under-educated in growing up.
Pride is about spreading hope: that being LGBT+ does not mean being alone and that things are getting better. Pride matters because it is not always obvious that our world is often built around the privilege of the majority, where it is fine for a professional sportswoman to kiss her boyfriend but one of our gay sporting heroes, someone like Erin Phillips, is doing something wrong by kissing her wife on television.
It is easy to get lost in the parties and fun of Pride. It is often easy too for those of us fortunate to live in countries where we have equal basic human rights, or who work for organisations that support us, to lose sight of those around the globe who are not in the same fortunate position as us. We must not forget those countries where same-sex relationships are illegal or punishable by death, or those which criminalise any "propaganda" interpreted as promoting LGBT+ communities or identities.
When Pride parades, events, movies, parties and discussions happen, LGBT+ people are seen for more than just a caricature of who we are. We are seen as real people: brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers, the person who sits next to you at work.
There is pride in being able to express your freedom. There is pride and joy in being with your community, no matter how diverse it is. We want to show that we care for our community and to celebrate the lives that we are living. We want to take pride in our relationships, take pride in our community, and take pride in ourselves as individuals.
Gay Pride is the celebration of life, human rights and ultimately the right to love whoever we want. That has to be worth celebrating.
A few interesting facts about Pride Month:
The event that inspired the Pride parades we know now was a march to commemorate the "Stonewall Inn riots" in New York City in June 1969. That uprising was in response to persistent raids by police on the bar and the harassment of its mainly LGBT patrons.
The first rainbow flag made its debut at the San Francisco Pride Parade in 1978. Designed by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker (who died last month aged 65), the original flag was hand-dyed and consisted of eight symbolic colours, including 'hot pink' and turquoise. But the 'hot pink' was dropped due to a lack of dye availability at the time, and turquoise was also dropped to keep an even number of stripes, resulting in the six-stripe flag that is commonplace today.
Pride Parades weren't always called Pride Parades. Early marches often used 'Gay Liberation' and 'Freedom,' in their names. With cultural change and decreased political militancy in the 1980s and 1990s, these words became less frequent, and the term 'Gay Pride' became more commonly used.
The largest Pride Parade is in Sao Paulo, Brazil with around 3 million attendees. The New York and San Francisco parades have about half that number.
Europe has a pan-European Pride event called "Europride" which is hosted by a different European city each year. Amsterdam hosts the only Pride parade whose floats literally float on water as the decorated boats travel through the canals.
South Africa used to have the only Pride Parade in Africa which began in Johannesburg in 1990. Since then, Mauritius and Tunisia have also held annual events, and even Uganda has made attempts at holding a parade over the past 2 years.

OMG- Ms Rosie Bea Is Bringing Out A Beauty Range!
25 April 2016, 16:02 | Updated: 6 November 2017, 09:34
Take all our money!
YouTubers bringing out beauty ranges is nothing new but we have to say we were delightfully surprised to see the amazing Ms Rosie Bea announcing her latest news. Indeed, earlier today we were having a discussion in the office about our love of Rosie, having followed her from the first day we set eyes on her as part of Daily Mix's Beauty Boot Camp. Just eighteen months later, Rosie has amassed nearly a quarter of a million subscribers and her brand new announcement means she's set to propel into the big time.
Working in collaboration with eyelash icons Eylure and nail brand Elegant Touch, Rosie is set to bring out an exclusive range of products to be sold in Superdrug! At the time of writing, we don't have full details but we can no doubt expect some amazing pairs of false lashes and gorgeous false nails.
Speaking in her announcement video, Rosie revealed that she immediately worked on some moodboards for both brands to showcase what styles and colour themes she was loving.
The announcement has been coupled with a Twitter hashtag #RosieBEAuty (see what they did there?) and fans and fellow YouTubers have flooded Twitter with some heartfelt congratulations messages (us included).
@superdrug @Ms_Rosie_Bea @EyLure @ElegantTouch this is so exciting! Well done Rosie— Roxi (@Roxxsaurus) April 25, 2016
Rosie's rise to YouTube fame has been incredible, having taken part in Beauty Boot Camp in 2014. Rosie was eliminated fairly early on but gained a rapid following due to her incredibly warm personality, gorgeous hair and amazing make-up skills. Since then, Rosie has gone on to make regular beauty, fashion and lifestyle content alongside attending school making her one of the hardest working YouTubers around.
If, like us, you're dying for a look at the products and a big reveal then you won't have too long to wait as Rosie revealed in her announcement video that she'll be showcasing the range on Wednesday 4th May- the countdown is on!
Congratulations, Rosie- we couldn't be more proud of you!

Huge Mushrooms are a naturally-occurring structure which was added to Minecraft in Beta 1.8. They spawn occasionally in swamp and dark forest Biomes, but are most plentiful in Mushroom Island Biomes.
Instead of stumbling upon a huge mushroom in the wilderness, players can alternatively grow one by using Bonemeal on a regular red or brown Mushroom, provided there is room for the huge mushroom to grow. When broken apart, it provides many mushrooms. The shape of the huge mushroom varies depending on the type of mushroom enlarged. Aside from color differences, the huge red mushroom is taller than the huge brown mushroom, with a taller stem. However, the cap of the brown mushroom is larger. The inside of the red mushroom cap is hollow, while the brown mushroom has a completely flat top.
The top of a huge brown mushroom makes a nice elevated building platform if access can be gained by a Ladder, a hillside, man-made towers etc. Both varieties of huge mushrooms are a Renewable Resource. Red mushrooms are able to make reasonable temporary shelters so long as a player has enough material to surround the perimeter, seeing as the cap of the huge red mushroom is only two blocks above the ground. Therefore, one would need 18 blocks to make a basic corner-less shelter. Huge brown mushrooms could also be used in the same way, except with the corners added in one requires 26 blocks, the inside is actually fairly roomy. When broken, it drops 0–4 mushrooms of its color. The block itself can be harvested with a silk touch tool, which can later be placed (albeit with a capture texture on all six sides) or smelted, lasting 15 seconds.
Growing a huge mushroom
Place a 5 x 5 cover above it, depending on the height (must be at least 6 blocks above the mushroom). Next, put Dirt below the cover and place a mushroom on top of the dirt. Use bonemeal on the mushroom to grow it to maturity.
- Huge mushroom stems are retextured birch wood blocks.
- It is possible to grow huge mushrooms in The Nether.

Fangirls, I struggled with these. Not the cakes themselves, but the frosting. I got incredibly frustrated and was so down on myself, but when I brought them in to work, they were a hit. I'm really glad I pushed through with this, because they were incredibly tasty, and reminiscent of one of my favorite Big Hero 6 characters, Honey Lemon!
For the lemon cupcakes, you'll need:
3 cups self rising flour (if you don't have self rising, you can add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder & 1/2 tsp fine salt to each cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 cup milk
juice of half a lemon
I was a goober and doubled this recipe without reading it's projection, so don't be like me. This recipe makes 30 cupcakes, and is true to that. So guess who accidentally made 60 cupcakes? Yes, it's me.
Start by preheating your oven to 375*F & prepping your cupcake sheet with nonstick spray and cupcake liners. Then, if you don't have self rising flour, add the baking powder and salt to that and mix well. Mix that with the other 1/2 tbs salt, while mixing the butter and sugar in an electric mixer. Once the butter and sugar are fluffy, add the eggs one at a time. Mix it up some more.
After that is fully mixed, start adding your dry ingredient mixture, 1/3 at a time. Altenate that with the milk and lemon juice; entry should go dry, milk & lemon, dry, milk & lemon, dry, milk & lemon. Mix that in between additions, and don't overdo it. Mix it until it's just combined. Then, fill your cupcake cups about 3/4 full, and bake for 16-18 minutes. Set them aside.
I separated these by night, and I'm incredibly glad that I did. If I had tried to make the frosting that same night as the cupcakes, I may very well have imploded. The cupcakes themselves (like I said) weren't the problem. They were quick and simple. The frosting, however, was an experience.
For the honey frosting, you'll need:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups 4-7 cups powdered sugar (I will explain)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sour cream, cold
Like with every frosting I've ever made, you start by creaming the butter in your mixer. Then you add your powdered sugar, bit by bit, until it's well mixed. After that, add the honey and sour cream, mixing as you go. It seems like the easiest process on the planet; much like with other frostings. But mine wouldn't thicken. I spent 3 hours adding more confectioners sugar, mixing, and praying that this would be the cup that fixed the consistency, but to no avail. I finally grew frustrated enough to just pipe it on and put them in the fridge, in hopes that the frosting wouldn't slide off. But to get there, I used an entire bag of confectioners sugar. Luckily, the sour cream takes a bit of the sugar out of it, taste wise, so the frosting wasn't as disgustingly sweet as it could have been.
The cupcakes and frosting worked perfectly together, and though I felt like I failed my experiment when I went to bed, the reaction at work was wonderful. I barely brought any of my 60 cupcakes home, and the frosting didn't slide off on any of the ones I saw.

The last in a series of storms bringing snow to part of the Northeast this weekend will bring the heaviest snow and greatest disruptions to travel and daily activities during Monday, February 9, 2015, according to AccuWeather.com.
Up until Sunday night, the storms will bring light snow with a few exceptions from northern Minnesota, northern Michigan, New York state and New England.
The caboose in the train of storms will end up being the strongest and will bring the heaviest amount of snow by early next week, said Alex Sosnowski, Expert Meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.
The steadiest snow from Sunday night into Monday night will fall from New York state to New England. A general 6-12 inches of snow is forecast to fall in this swath, with locally higher amounts.
The swath from Boston, northward to Portland, Maine, westward to Concord, New Hampshire; Worcester, Massachusetts; Rutland, Vermont, and Albany, New York, will likely be within the zone that receives the greatest amount of snow from the early week storm and cumulative amount of snow forward from Saturday.
Significant snow will fall on the zone from Providence, Rhode Island, to Hartford, Connecticut, and Poughkeepsie, New York.
Crews and property owners already struggling with up to several feet of snow on the ground and on some roofs will need to prepare and make room for additional snow.
Up to a few inches of snow can reach as far south as northern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley of New York and southern Connecticut.
Enough snow, sleet and freezing rain can fall to make roads slippery around New York City, especially where the precipitation occurs during the early morning and evening hours.
People heading home from their weekend trips may encounter delays, including those partaking in the excellent skiing conditions the onslaught of storms has produced.
Airline and ground travel delays due to snow or some sort of wintry mix are likely from Boston, southward to New York City, and westward to Buffalo, Cleveland, Toronto and Detroit on Monday.
The worst travel conditions will be along the New York Thruway and Southern Tier Expressway, the Massachusetts Turnpike, Interstate 84, I-88, I-91, I-93, I-95 from north of New York City to Maine and I-81 in northern Pennsylvania and New York State.
Minor travel delays are likely farther to the south on the fringe of the early week storm from Chicago to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. A few locations in this swath can pick up a coating to an inch of snow and slush.
The bulk of the snow will exit the Northeast Monday night, but some snow will linger in part of eastern New England and the Appalachians into Tuesday.
Chilly air will expand in the wake of the storm early next week, before a major blast of arctic air sweeps from the Midwest to the East late in the week.

The value of a business that is anticipated to remain operating in the future is known as the Going Concern Value. The Going Concern Value is frequently referred to within real estate appraisal as the combined value of the property and the business operations, or the Total Assets of the Business. The Small Business Administration has issued ten updates to SOP 50-10 5 since 2008, changing its position on several occasions about who is eligible to appraise the business component for a going concern loan. The SBA has excluded real property appraisers from the eligible list until the most recent change that was announced on May 4, 2015. The new requirements are as follows:
If an applicant business operates from a Special Purpose Property (for example, car washes, hotels, gas stations with or without a convenience store, golf courses, medical facilities or bowling alleys), the going concern appraisal must be completed by a Certified General Real Property Appraiser with experience appraising the specific business/property type. Such appraisals must allocate separate values to the individual components of the transaction including land, building, equipment and intangible assets. Finally, the Certified General Appraiser must have completed no less than four going concern appraisals of equivalent special use property as the property being appraised within the last 36 months, as identified in the qualifications portion of the Appraisal Report.
The staff at Crossroads Appraisal Group has extensive experience performing Going Concern appraisals for special use properties. We meet the current SBA requirements for Going Concern appraisals of c-stores with and without gas sales, package stores, hotels and car washes. Allow us the privilege of partnering with you to meet your appraisal needs.
Give us a call today with any questions you might have. Our friendly staff is looking forward to speaking with you! You can also check out our 'Praise' page to see what others are saying about Crossroads Appraisal Group.

" Don't want to talk about it "
" I've always received great service from the Cherry Hill Triplex, especially Mitsubishi since I've owned my Lancer (bought from a used car dealer in another city). They've done exceptional maintenance on it, and they really saved me a lot of money, time, and heartache when they replaced my broken gas pump and seal instead of having to buy a whole brand new gas tank. We had come back home from a cruise to fumes everywhere. Halfway through the cruise, I had received a phone call from an Evesham P.D. officer stating that my neighbors had reported a gas leak. Prior to the vacation, I had been up in Central NY in my hometown and had to have the local repair shop replace several parts, including the tie rods, so I already had sticker shock from that cost. Apparently, on the 300 mile drive back home, the fuel pump's ring and seal broke apart due to the amount of rust it had accumulated over the years that I didn't even know about since the pump is on top of the tank out of reach and view. I thought a NJ gas station attendant had accidentally spilled some gas while pulling the pump out after fueling. Mitsubishi had found parts from a donor car, but it was still going to cost over $2,000. The technician checked everything and only had to replace the pump at around $800. Mitsubishi, and the technician, saved me not only over $1,200, but they saved my car from having a possible incendiary catalyst, and they saved me from having to total/junk my car just because I couldn't afford over $2,000 in repairs. Their attention to detail is outstanding! Excellent customer service! "
" Angela was a superstar and helped me get the exact car I wanted back in March. It's been 7 months and I'm still happy! "
" Outstanding!!!!! Great and friendly staff and service. Were willing to work with me. Special thanks to Ephraim Fisher for his outstanding work. Y'all need to come see him. "
" I'm very satisfied about the way I was treated at this dealer . Thanks to Angela for all the help she gave me and a big tump up to her. "
" I was shopping for a particular car when I got there but feel in love with a different car when I was there my salesman Tom terp was awesome guy down to earth and honest made my buying experience so much easier he did everything to work with me even on the price of the car I would recommend anyone looking for a car to go see Tom terp there also everyone else there were great also thanks again Tom "
" This dealer is one of a kind highly recommended to anybody looking to buy a car. "
" Had a great experience finding my first car at this dealership. The whole staff is very kind and attentive. I was helped by Gaelle Antoine and she made me comfortable with the entire car buying process! Thanks again! "
" Me experience with Cherry Hill Mitsubishi on Sep 30th 2019 was exceptional, moreover the salesperson Tom T who handled the deal of the 2019 Outlander Sport SE which I purchased was truly remarkable. There was no waffle talk no setting figures that were unrealistic, what I knew the price to be was the price I paid. I never felt at any time that Tom T was doing anything other than getting me to the comfortable position of signing for the keys of my new car. I would like to add that this is the second Outlander I've purchased from this dealership but the most recent was certainly much more professionally handled and I was very pleased with the experience. YES! I would recommend a family member or friend to set up a no pressure appointment with Tom T to check out any of the really great Mitsubishi's that they have, they are and Great Vehicle to own, not as well known as they should be in this country but Mitsubishi has the money invested in what matters (a great reliable car) and not in high end ridiculously priced paint jobs, plush leather or many other never used items that are in some new cars. Thanks again Tom T and Cherry Hill Mitsubishi. IRL-BOD "
" Tom terp was my salesman he was super professional and he helped me get to conclusions with helping with a car! He was super helpful realistic and honest! Honestly one of the best sales man I've gone through he's very helpful and gets you the best deal possible! "

" I had a great experience at Cherry Hill Mitsubishi. Tom was a very knowledgeable and really helped through the process. "
" Highly recommend Tom Terp!! My friend an I came in an I can say hands down the best rep we had the pleasure of working with.

We will be referring him to everyone we know!!! If your in the market for a new car or used don't hesitate to go to Cherry Hill Mitsubishi an ask for Tom Terp!!!! "

" Kareem and his team did the impossible they help a lot and made a deal work of the car I wanted front the start no pressure they got the deal done thanks. "
" Joe Marano was a very polite and easy to work with sales rep. I spoke with him 2 weeks prior to my appointment to check if Cherry Hill Mitsubishi had what I was looking for (which was a 2015-2016 Jeep cherokee trail hawk) . I am not an easy person to look for a car for. I like black with tan interior. I have expensive taste but don't have the bucks to back it up. Joe exceeded expectations and found me the perfect car (2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited fully loaded). The car has low miles and is really clean. I just traded in my beloved Cadillac CTS for this car and I couldn't be more excited. Joe was kind, professional, and I felt like he was on my team the entire time. Great experience. I highly recommend. "
" Angela had very good customer service and extremely helpful with my purchase. "

EEG is the Wave of the Future: Machine Learning Technology Highlighted in Biological Psychiatry Publication
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYnd Analytics, Inc. (OTCQB:CNSOD) announces the publication of "Using Electroencephalography for Treatment Guidance in Major Depressive Disorder" in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging. The study is a review of the current literature on biomarkers derived from electroencephalography (EEG) and their role in guiding clinical treatment of major depression. The publication highlights the opportunity for machine learning to deliver actionable information to mental health professionals: "The explosion of computational power over the last few decades has led to a dramatic increase in the use of computation-intensive methods to analyze large databases for biomedical research. … Machine learning offers an extraordinary opportunity to extract the most salient predictive features from large EEG datasets."
One technology featured in the review is PEER, a predictive medicine technology developed by MYnd Analytics, Inc., which combines an EEG scan of brain function with a registry of over 38,000 outcomes for over 10,000 unique psychiatric patients. Outcomes are continually added to the Registry, making the guidance more predictive. Predictive accuracy increased from 86% to 91% as of the last update — clear demonstration of the PEER model.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are one of the hottest areas of healthcare, and mental health, in particular, can benefit from bringing evidence-based adjunctive information to guide treatment. George Carpenter, CEO of MYnd Analytics said: "Every patient deserves access to objective, evidence-based, personalized treatments."
The full study, "Using Electroencephalography for Treatment Guidance in Major Depressive Disorder" has been published in Biological Psychiatry and can be read online.
The study's authors are:
- Elizabeth C. Wade, B.A., Clinical Research Coordinator, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
- Dan V. Iosifescu, M.D., MSc, Director, Adult Psychopharmacology Program, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
About MYnd Analytics, Inc.
MYnd Analytics, Inc. (www.myndanalytics.com) provides a unique set of reference data and analytic tools for clinicians and researchers in psychiatry. While treatment for mental disorders has doubled in the last 20 years, it is estimated that 17 million Americans have failed two or more medication therapies for their mental disorders. The Company's Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry, or PEER Online, is a registry and reporting platform that allows medical professionals to exchange treatment outcome data for patients referenced to objective neurophysiology data obtained through a standard electroencephalogram (EEG). Based on the Company's original physician-developed database, there are now more than 38,000 outcomes for over 10,000 unique patients in the PEER registry. The objective of PEER Online is to avoid trial and error pharmacotherapy, which is the dominant approach for treatment-resistant patients.

RE: Under 19
Hi ya Chaps Just read your excellent article online about officiating youth football. I have a question I'd hope that you can help with. Can the linesman be on the pitch when running the line? The reason I ask is, I've just come back from a youth football game and the linesman (a parent - yes you know what parents are like :0 ) was running the line at least 5 yards inside the touchline on the pitch, clearly this put off the attacking wide players - when the ref was politely asked at half-time is this okay, he said it was. I can only see this as unsettling for the attacking team (they are youth players after all) I think there must be an FA rule stating the linesman must be off the pitch when running the line - but can't find it, any help on this one buddy. All the best & thanks in advance.
Hi Chris While it is not spelt out exactly in the Laws an assistant referee should not be on the field of play. The only persons entitled to be on the field of play are the players and referee. No one else.There are only a number of times when it is acceptable for an AR to enter on to the FOP such as enforcing 10 yards at a free kick in the ARs vicinity and also to help the referee deal with misconduct. At all other times ARs must be off the FOPNow in this case it was a CAR, a club assistant referee who helps the referee. Many do not have the specific training that ARs would have. However the referee should be instructing them not to come on to the FOP in any circumstance. I am somewhat surprised that the referee said it was okay? Now there are times when an AR might run over the line on the FOP such as avoiding poor ground conditions over the sideline or trying to avoid a spectator, player warming up etc. It certainly though should not be done when it is likely to interfere with players on the field.
HI Chris, the AR is to remain off the FOP as much as possible but this is only possible if the touchlines remain CLEAR of spectators to allow them not to be crowded into the field. I recall doing high school matches with over a thousand spectators who would actually move out into the field when play reversed itself so they could watch and constantly be interfering with the ARS. I had to request a police/security presence to hold a 5 meter separation from the touchline to adequately allow ARS to do their job. Stadiums with bleachers and technical areas separate from the spectators really a much better idea. In situations with spectators on both sides of the field or on only one side facing the teams technical areas I enforce pregame a 5 yard or more separation from any spectator setting up chairs to watch. You have to allow the ARs to function and players to slide out without crashing into stuff or people also keep the touchlines free so the foot stops of balls possibly headed out of play do not get interfered with. An AR might assist CR by coming into the FOP on occasion but should not be where a ball struck at them would not clear the touchline first but rebound in to stay in play or have a player run into them by accident. I dislike the referee explanation and question the advice. An AR CAN dart in a bit to avoid a collision or a crappy bit of ground but no way do they belong on the FOP except on rare occasions. Cheers
Hi Chris, As mentioned by my colleagues, unless forced onto the field by circumstances (ground conditions or spectators) or in the specific situations where the Laws allow it (dealing with misconduct or enforcing the required distance) an AR should generally remain off the pitch. Certainly they should not be routinely taking a patrol path that would have them 5 yards inside the field where they would run the risk of interfering with play. While the Laws of the Game (which incidentally, are issued by the IFAB, not the FA) do not contain anything written specifically about the AR's position in relation to the touchline, there is an illustration on page 175 of the 2017-18 edition showing the patrol path for the AR's as being from the end line to the half-way line and entirely outside the field of play. This is followed by a series of diagrams showing the recommended position for an AR for various specific game situations and in all cases, that position is outside the touchline.

First off, this is my soundtrack for this blog. This is a great mix! Dig it!
James Zabiela Mix Of Appreciation 2009 by jameszabiela
OK, now that we have that taken care of I wanted to tell you about my latest addition to exercising. No I haven't quite added bicycling back into my routine, but I have gone back to one of the first sports I fell for; running. I have been going to the track once weekly to practice my form, and to get my cardiovascular work-out. It has been a bunch of fun! I started by running around the property where I live, as we have access to about 300 acres. Matt has created a bunch of loops, and I took a stab at one of his 3 mile trails. At first I was in so much oxygen debt by mile one, I didn't think I could make it two more. I started to walk about half way, and was coughing my lungs out. Now, about 4 weeks later I am running for about 30 minutes continuously, working up a sweat, breathing much less labored, and having fun! I feel great. I like being sore the next day; it proves to me that I worked hard. Here's a funny video of me at the track yesterday...
Feels good getting back into shape. I have really made a decision to be healthy and to work on exercise. Now it's just part of my every day routine. Pilates every morning, track work out once weekly, and now I just have to get to that jump roping. I am a bit uncoordinated at the jump rope! Once I get it down though, I know I will get even more toned, and stronger still. Here's to our health!

Powering Lamps with Soil
Normally when it comes to energy, we talk about biofuels and hydrogen sources like methanol. But one designer decided to go for a more natural, easily accessible power source. One of Marieke Strap's rather interesting projects is a lamp powered by nothing else other than your run-of-the-mill garden soil. Aptly called the "Soil Lamp," it exploits the naturally-occurring electrolytes in healthy garden soil to provide energy enough to power a simple LED light bulb.
According to Inhabitat, because soil contains metals and microbes similar to those used in fuel cells, all Strap needed to do is devise zinc and copper conductive plates to harness the potential energy. Aside from having to design plates to harness energy from the soil, all the setup needs is regular watering, just like a plant. While the design itself is small in scale, it will be interesting to see where this idea leads in the future. To note, a couple of other soil-powered projects we featured before are Harvard's microbial fuel cell and Living Power System's fuel cell.

Jerarquía anatómica
Términos generales > Artrología > Articulaciones del miembro pelviano > Articulación de la rodilla > Articulación femorotibia
Estructuras subyacentes
The femorotibial joint is the main spheroid part of the stifle joint. It is formed by the thick, rollerlike condyles of the femur articulating with the flattened condyles of the tibia.
In carnivores, it is freely connected with the lateral and medial sacs of the femoropatellar joint, the other part of the stifle joint.
In ruminants, the two femorotibial sacs communicate with each other and the medial femorotibial joint communicates with the femoropatellar joint.
In horses, the femoropatellar joint cavity communicates only sometimes with the lateral femorotibial joint and usually with the medial joint, there is no communication between the two femorotibial joints.
In carnivores, the cavities of the femorotibial joints also include the two sesamoid bones of the grastrocnemius muscle, and the lateral femorotibial joint capsule extends a pouch to form the proximal tibiofibular joint capsule.
Although these terms are not listed in the VIth NAV, the femorotibial joint may be separated into two compartments, the medial and lateral compartment of femorotibial joint.

I can not help reaching out to Elaine and Keef Feeley after reading "I Told My Husband To Sleep With Another Woman," in Menopause News last week.
In this article "Elaine Feeley, 58, says she felt so guilty that she and her husband Keef hadn't had sex in four years that she told him to sleep with someone else. Despite the couple always enjoying an active sex life, she says everything changed when she went through the menopause."
The article went on to say that Elaine sought out the help of Trudy Hannigan, a psychosexual therapist who regularly treats people with sex and relationship problems at her clinic in Yorkshire. I have a lot of respect for Trudy Hannigan, but before you give up on having intercourse there are natural solutions that you need to know about. Vaginal Renewal Complex is a complex of natural oils that synergistically helps rebuild the vaginal wall and replenish the moisture that we lose during and after menopause. It truly brings elasticity back to the vagina.
The pain Elaine is experiencing is from vaginal atrophy. I work with so many women who once suffered from the same debilitating pain but have now found relief.
The following is just one of those stories. It was originally printed on 9/9/13 and was titled Moments Like This Make My Vision A Reality:
This past week I received a call from this client who has been on our program for a couple of months. We had spoken several times about her condition and her frustration that she just could not have sexual relations with her husband due to extremely painful intercourse. When the phone rang and I heard her voice, I could tell she had a smile from ear to ear. She said…"You won't believe this, but…" After hearing what she had to say, I asked her to share her story:
It is moments such as this that make my mission to bring RELIEF to every woman suffering from VAGINAL DRYNESS a reality.
Here is her story:
I have had a history of hormonal imbalance since I was a teenager. I was placed on the birth control pill at age 16 and continued on and off with it until I was 53. Unless I was trying to have children, I was taking the pill to control my periods and estrogen levels. Everything was going well until I finally went off the pill for good.
Almost immediately, my vagina began to change. It lost moisture and began to tear. I went from doctor to doctor. Their advice consisted of telling me just to relax and things would return to normal, to use a squeeze bottle of mineral oil before sex and of course, start using estrogen creams.
The relaxing didn't work. How could it? Things hurt!! The mineral oil did nothing and I refused to use estrogen creams based on a family history of breast cancer. As it was, I had stayed on the pill a very long time just to keep things regular. I didn't want any more hormones.
I started using Vaginal Renewal Complex as a last resort. I used it for two months. My husband and I had pretty much given up on sex, so I was in no rush to see if this product worked. I was scared.
Before I even received my second shipment, I found myself in an intimate situation with my husband. I was really doubtful how things would turn out. Boy was I ever wrong! I just have to say, I felt things I hadn't felt in years. I was smiling the whole way and after speaking with my husband afterwards, he too noticed a big difference.
Needless to say, this product works very well for me. I would encourage any woman with similar issues to give it a try. It's really like getting a huge part of your life, which you thought was lost, back again. Very easy to use, not messy and hormone free!
Just a side note; NEVER would I suggest using mineral oil as a moisturizer because it tends to clog the pores and does not absorb into the body tissue;
My little secret: I, of course use mineral oil to remove my eye make-up. It's quite smooth and not abrasive, then I cleanse my face.
Please give yourself a gift and take a look at what Vaginal Renewal Complex may be able to do for you.

Luvuthando Dolls create a wonder-space where children have a free passport to be perfectly imperfect and encourages them unleash their inner WARRIORS. Our dolls promote self-confidence and self-acceptance.
We encourage our youth to embrace who they are, where they come from and that life has endless possibilities.
In January this year I saw the birth of my black doll brand, Luvuthando Dolls. Luvuthando is a combination of my two sons' names, Luvuyo and Uthando. Luvuthando is a Xhosa word that means, Feel the Love.
Late December 2017 I revisited my childhood memories of not having any dolls but an orange fluffy owl and now I'm happy I had that owl because it taught me a lot on how to embrace my uniqueness and not conform to social standards. Also, another memory was when my youngest son didn't want to go to a school because it had only brown kids. This made me realize that since my black kids were raised in a predominantly white society and them mainly being the only brown kids in schools, they saw themselves as white in a way.
I then made it my mission to teach them about our cultural heritage and that each person is unique and special. So, when I did my research I felt that there's so much still to be done in order to advocate for the little black/brown child. That also our children regardless of race deserve to have a brown doll in their doll collection.
Thus, Luvuthando Dolls was born. Through our dolls we'll share real life stories of challenges that affect our societies like HIV awareness since I'm now 20 years HIV positive, cancer awareness, save the rhino awareness, child and women abuse. We'll do this in a series of YouTube videos with cultivating story-lines that will edutain the young ones and anyone visiting our Fluffy Owl Productions channel.
There is so much to be done and I'm up for the challenge.
Thanks for the platform to share. ONE LOVE

How it all begun
Yolanda Y'awa hails from Gugulethu, a township situated in the east of Cape Town. "My love and passion for music and fashion started when I was still a toddler, where I used to dress anything that resembled a figure or statue. I've always had flair for good stylish clothes, a sense of line, colour, form and a sense of balance and proportion, and an eye for detail", Y'awa says.
Her creative and versatile talents has won Y'awa a number of prizes and awards in her name including winning the 2nd prize at the Best Dressed Couple at the J&B Met Competition 1999 and 2015. She has also been invited to showcase at the Old Mutual Streamline Fashion Show together being voted the Best Designer at the Fashion Police Fashion Showcase in Cape Town.
She also attended the SXSW 2012 Music Exhibition in Austin, Texas to create an alliance of networks and contacts that will in turn invest in South African sought after and up and coming artists.
Now Y'awa lives in the Netherlands with her husband and children and aims to distribute her dolls internationally.
To be the voice of Purpose and Hope. My creative journey begun at a very tender age and being in a "creative space" helped me cope with pain and abused endured growing up.
When I suffered from post natal depression in 2002, I used beading method to "HEAL"' myself. I had a passion and burning desire that soon after culminated into something beautiful and suddenly people were talking about my creative flair!
This was one of the 1st validations in my life, that one can change challenges into opportunities. The Y'awa International umbrella was born!!!
Fancy a customized doll? Then fill in the form on the right with as
much details as possible. See the doll example pics below for idea...
I'm also a Motivational Speaker and my best memories are of me speaking to the youth and sharing my experiences and how I've managed to overcome my challenges. One of my favourite quotes/lyrics is, " There will be many to put you down, but when you're down there dig a hole your treasure awaits you", by Yolanda Y'awa

Genre: Mystery, Crime, Suspense, Thriller
"Happiness comes in moments, & then it's gone until the next time. Could be years. But sadness settles it."
Another Lehane book under my belt and I enjoyed it immensely, the book was an elevated crime fiction book in which the character study and the amazing writing balanced well with the plot. Unlike Shutter Island which I highly love and probably one of his best works this one carried more depth & felt more than just your typical "solving a crime story"
"Life isn't happily ever after… It's work. The person you love is rarely worthy of how big your love is. Because no one is worthy of that and maybe no one deserves that burden of it, either. You'll be let down. You'll be disappointed and have your trust broken and have a lot of real sucky days. You lose more than you win. You hate the person you love as much as you love him. But you roll up your sleeves and work – at everything – because that's what growing older is."
The overall story follows three young lads ( Jimmy. Sean & Dave) during a young age while they were playing outside one of them got kidnapped and the other two were left behind as this event took place. The incident ended up affecting the majority of their lives and years later a tragedy will occur that will bring them together and open up a can of worms from the past.
"It was the lack of a clear reason that got to her most, & it stabbed her that a relationship that had once seemed unbreakable could slip apart so easily due to nothing more than time, family turmoil, & growth spurts."
I would honestly say that the writing took me by surprise because the author transported me into the individual thoughts with such rich language and descriptions that you felt sympathetic towards some characters and understood their decisions even though you won't necessarily agree with them. I hated some of the characters to be honest and I was like…
A character like Jimmy was so complicated and had so many problems that I was just pissed at his action but I asked myself if such an incident happened to me how would I react and that is what made this book for me. On closing the last page you would see the flaws in the characters and it made me question my humanity and my decisions when faced with certain problems. It was tragic and disturbing and even though I felt like the outcome of the mystery wasn't as shocking as his other book he still made me see the story in a unique way.
"There are threads in our lives. You pull one, and everything else gets affected."
Have you read it tell me what you thought of it 🙂

Rumors of an impending release of a second-generation Kindle Fire have been lighting up the lips of tech bloggers for weeks now. Most of the whispers mention plans for a larger version of the low-cost slate. But today Bloomberg reported that Amazon is actually working on shrinking screens even further and launching an Android-powered smartphone of its own.
Sound familiar? That's because LAPTOP editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer predicted that we'd hear more about an Amazon smartphone mid-year all the way back in September -- just two days after the Kindle Fire was announced.
Bloomberg's two insiders say that Foxconn would handle the manufacturing of the smartphone. Other sources tell the publication that Amazon's preparing for the leap into the smartphone arena by gobbling up patents related to wireless communications with the hopes of warding off claims of infringement and costly associated lawsuits -- a sad statement on the current state of technology patents.
Amazon certainly has the infrastructure to get into the smartphone game; it already sells handsets for the four major U.S. carriers through its website and the Amazon Appstore has had smartphone-only offerings for nearly a year now. If the report turns out to be true, we'd expect the flavor of Android run on the Amazon smartphone to be just as heavily skinned and content-friendly as the Kindle Fire's, and as Mark said last year, the Silk browser technology would theoretically bring a big boost to mobile Web surfing's download speeds.

I haven't done a recipe for a long time and this one is dead simple:
- 1 ripe Avocado per person
- Grape tomatoes
- Stuffed olives
- A little mayonnaise
Now the key to this salad is knowing how to deal with the avocado. You need to girdle the avocado with a sharp knife, cutting completely around it in the long direction as deep as the pit. If the avocado lying on the counter is the world you want to cut completely around the equator as deep as the pit. Twist the two halves and if it is properly ripe you will end up with two perfect halves with the pit remaining in one half. If you whack the pit with the knife such that the knife remains embedded in the pit you can easily twist it out.
None of this will work if the avocado isn't perfectly ripe. Too early and it will be tough and green; too late and it will be mushy and brown. One secret that one of my cocineras mexicanas taught me is to put green avocados in a slightly warm oven for a few hours to hasten their ripening. Its very hard to buy good avocados up here because they are largely picked too green. If you want to use them immediately when you cradle them in your hand they should feel almost soft but not soft. If they're too green when you buy them they will never ripen. Its much easier to buy them in Mexico but its such a grind to get them back home in time for supper if you don't actually live in Mexico.
Now take one half of the avocado and cradle it in your hand. Cut as deep as the skin but not through the skin in a criss cross pattern through the entire meat of the fruit. When you've done that to both halves you can scoop out the meat and you will end up with mainly little cubes maybe 1/4" or a little bigger on a side.
Cut the grape tomatoes into quarters and mix them with the avocado cubes. Cut some olives in half to taste and mix it all up with a little mayonnaise. Let it chill for half an hour so the flavours can mix – don't leave it too long or the avocado will turn brown.

Wreck-It Ralph
- Starring: The vocal talent of: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch and more.
- Directed by: Rich Moore
- Synopsis: " Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it's too late?" (-Collider)
- Rated: Rated PG
- Trailer:
Finally, after a rather disappointing year for animated movies (and movies in general), here comes one of the BEST animated features of the year. Wreck-It Ralph has something for everyone to enjoy.
I find that several animated features are geared solely to young children and parents (if they go with their kids) are forced to sit through a rather uninteresting 90 minutes with a grin on their faces that is caused by their child's laughter and not at all by anything on the screen. (Madagascar 3, Ice Age 4, and, yes, even The Lorax and Brave could be placed in this category for 2012.) Wreck-It Ralph brings smiles to kids of all ages as the young kids will love what they always love about cartoons and the old kids (like this 30-year old blogger) will love it for the inclusion of so many iconic videogame characters from the past and their fusion into a singular and fun-filled story.
Viewing it is quite like being a kid in a candy store as playing "Where's Waldo" in looking for all of one's favorite classic videogame characters is just as fun as watching the movie itself, without distracting from it either!
A nice and refreshing movie with a new spin on the "videogame" movie genre. Wreck-It Ralph succeeds in giving audiences more to relate to as Ralph wants something more out of his routine, mundane, unrewarding life. The friends and relationships developed add to the story along with the fun references to several popular games of old and new popularity.
Be on the lookout for relations to games such as Candyland, MarioKart, Qbert, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat, Halo, Mario, Call of Duty, Tanker, Pacman and more. A very impressive mix that spans decades of arcade game legend.
There isn't too much more to say about this movie really. It is fun, full of smiles and adventure, just the right amount of blend for everyone to enjoy. Take the entire family to watch it. Even if you're not a gamer you will love it and I guarantee you will recognize at least one or two of the characters. It's a fun and colorful Easter Egg hunt as Disney paints a wonderful picture of the world of arcade games that resembles a little bit of Toy Story. Sure, it has an expected ending, but it is the journey that makes it so much fun.
The new characters end up just as enjoyable as the classic characters and in that way parallels the truth about gaming in and of itself. From the hardened soldier Calhoun, to the active little girl Vanellope, to several other characters, Wreck-It Ralph really brings them all together in a great world of arcade games as they hop back and forth in a "Monsters Inc" sort of way.
Yes, Wreck-It Ralph borrows heavily from other sources. And that's okay. It takes what works form other beloved sources and puts them into one. The concepts from Monsters Inc, Toy Story, and beloved videogames. Wreck-It Ralph just works!
Final thoughts: With the added tribute of 8-bit graphics and motion sprinkled throughout the movie, the attention to detail and sense of nostalgia that Wreck-It Ralph brings is such an added and appreciated bonus to enjoy. Disney really put their time and effort into this movie and it shows. Sure, it won't have as many memorable quotes as Toy Story, but it's nearly just as fun! Go see one of the BEST animated movies (if not THE best) of the year this weekend! A wonderful tribute to games, gamers, and good storytelling alike! Nice work, Disney. (although, it's not necessary to see it in 3D really)
Score: 4 out of 5 stars for Wreck-It Ralph
***Be sure you get to the theater on time! You do NOT want to miss the delightful treat of the animated short that precedes Wreck-It Ralph entitled Paperman. Trust me. It better be nominated for some awards come early next year, that's all I'm saying! Don't. Miss. It.

Sales tax is complicated. Many businesses find it so overwhelming they simply ignore it completely. But ignoring sales tax compliance can lead to monetary penalties, collection fees, and in the most extreme cases, criminal charges.
Things only get more confusing when sales tax is applied to intangible, digital goods such as music, ebooks or software. From iTunes to Netflix to Steam, we can all agree more online shoppers are turning to digital versions of traditionally tangible items.
Understanding when and how to collect sales tax on these purchases can be complicated for small business owners with limited accounting resources. In this post, we aim to explore this topic and offer a foundation to help you think more strategically about achieving and sustaining sales tax compliance.
Sales Tax Overview
Other than property and income tax, sales tax is the largest source of state tax revenue. As state and local taxing authorities are always on the lookout for new sources of revenue, the rise of digital goods sales has placed them fully under the microscope. Twenty-five states currently require sales tax to be collected on sales of downloadable digital goods. However, we can say with confidence that more states will join this group in the future.
In Tennessee, for example, the enactment of the Revenue Modernization Act led to cloud computing and downloadable games being subject to sales tax as of July 1, 2015.
The Sales Tax Compliance Process
What does it mean to be sales tax compliant? In short, it means you are collecting and remitting the appropriate sales tax to state and local tax authorities in locations where your business has nexus and where you are selling taxable goods or services.
It should be pointed out that the seller is responsible for sales tax, not the buyer. This is because state and local tax authorities aren't interested in where the tax comes from. If you choose not to collect it from the buyer, then it is up to you to pay the required sales tax out of your own pocket.
This can be dangerous for small business owners. If you've turned a blind eye to sales tax collection in locations where you have nexus, then you're on the hook for the sales tax associated with every 'tax-free' sale you've made. Moreover, if you haven't taken that responsibility seriously, it's likely you have missed filing deadlines and are accumulating late fees and interest on the outstanding tax.
Digging into nexus
Nexus is defined as "a physical connection to a state or local jurisdiction" and is triggered by such common business events as opening an office, hiring an employee or storing inventory.
As an online seller of downloadable software, you may be wondering where you have nexus. Let's start with your home state. You have nexus based on wherever your business is located.
What about other states? This depends on your business activities. If you're leveraging remote servers or a content delivery network (CDN), you'll want to check with the state where those services are located to see what their policy is (every state may be different).
In Washington state, for example, storing digital content on a server in the state does not constitute a nexus triggering event. Owning, renting or leasing server equipment, however, "may be considered as a factor in determining nexus."
Taxation of software
The world has yet to fully embrace the digital revolution. Netflix offering streaming services as well as DVD rental is a clear example of the split between the old and the new. Software is in the same boat. It is still regularly delivered in both tangible and digital form. It's fair to say old habits die hard.
There are two key criteria to consider when attempting to determine if software is taxable.
Software type
In many states, whether software is canned or custom has an impact on its taxability. Like other tax issues, this is unique to every state. Software vendors should check with the appropriate state taxing authority for specific details.
Method of delivery
The software delivery method combined with the software type, impacts the taxability everywhere in the U.S. Canned software delivered on tangible personal property, for example, is taxed everywhere. But if that same software is delivered through an electronic download, it is only taxed in some states. Again, software vendors should check with the appropriate state taxing authority for specific details.
As you can see, determining where and if the software you are selling is taxable is complicated. We didn't even mention software hosted in the cloud. Don't make assumptions here. Do the necessary research. The longer you wait, the more difficult and costly it becomes to get right with states and local tax authorities.
As we move closer to an all digital world, the line between taxable and tax-exempt goods and services is becoming ever more blurry. Don't turn a blind eye to sales tax compliance. Failure to collect and remit taxes places the burden squarely on your shoulders. Missed deadlines and late payments carry the risk of late payment penalties, collection fees, and interest payments.
Be proactive about sales tax management today by taking advantage of cloud tax management solutions like Avalara TrustFile.

KNC Arogyadhama Alzheimer and Dementia people Care Centre
There are many possible causes of dementia. Some causes are reversible, such as certain thyroid conditions or vitamin deficiencies. If these underlying problems are identified and treated, then the dementia reverses and the person can return to normal functioning.
However, most causes of dementia are not reversible. Rather, they are degenerative diseases of the brain that get worse over time. The most common cause of dementia is AD, accounting for as many as 70-80% of all cases of dementia.
Alzheimer's disease is a specific disease that causes dementia. It is a progressive brain disease. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal. It is the most common form of dementia.
But at KNC Arogyadhama we care people of Alzheimer and Dementia Disease with Love, Affection and Intrim Care
