As a women & girls photographer, (I took this pic^^^) this topic is close to my heart. Little girls come in all shapes, sizes and personalities. Some love dolls, others love dirt. Some prefer dresses, others prefer soccer cleats. Every girl is beautifully wonderfully made but too often, the girls who are athletic and inquisitive are called masculine.
People use phrases like 'tomboy' or 'rough around the edges' to describe girls who would rather play video games and wrestle than to paint their nails or wear pink. Even worse, boys taunt each other in sports by saying 'you hit like a girl' as if all girls are weak and horrible at physical tasks.
This is wrong and needs to stop! Let's start encouraging our girls by retiring the word 'tomboy' from now on. She's not a 'tomboy', she's strong!
Growing up, I wasn't considered a 'girly girl'. I was outgoing, loved climbing trees, exploring nature, using my imagination and playing in the dirt. I distinctly remember people telling me I was a tomboy which translated in my mind as 'you act like a boy'. This really bothered me. I just wanted to have fun but hearing the phrases over and over again made me feel like I wasn't feminine enough. This carried on into puberty since I was a late bloomer and deeply effected my self esteem.
I don't want any of our girls to feel that way about themselves. I want to encourage all girls and women to be physical, adventurous and imaginative. Instead of calling girls 'tomboy' let's call them 'strong' because that's the truth. Here are some more positive words we can use instead:
- lively
- agile
- limber
- brave
- vigorous
- sharp
- vivacious
- spirited
- athletic
- sporty
- tough
- energetic
These are all awesome words that truly reflect our talents and strengths. Strength is not a trait reserved for men and boys. The fact that we are girls means everything we do is girly. We are awesome! We are brave! We are strong! Remove 'tomboy' from your vocabulary and strive to uplift girls and women, whether they love barbies, high heels or football.

Smith, Brewer competing for BU QB job
Baylor coach Matt Rhule said sophomore Zach Smith remained the starting quarterback as of Monday, but the competition with freshman Charlie Brewer will continue throughout the week leading up to Saturday's game against Texas at McLane Stadium.
With Smith nursing a stomach flu, Brewer stepped in at the end of the third quarter against West Virginia last Saturday with the Bears trailing, 38-13.
Brewer hit eight of 13 passes for 109 yards with two touchdowns and ran 10 times for 48 yards to lead the Bears to 23 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
After hitting a 9-yard touchdown pass to Trestan Ebner with 17 seconds remaining, Baylor's attempt for a game-tying two-point conversion failed when Brewer was sacked as the Mountaineers hung on for a 38-36 win.
Rhule wants to see how both Smith and Brewer progress this week during practice before making a final decision on the starting quarterback against Texas. The Bears fell to 0-7 overall and 0-4 in the Big 12 with the loss to No. 22 West Virginia.
"We have a lot of confidence in Zach, he's been our quarterback, so I would say if we played (Monday) he would be our quarterback," Rhule said. "But the whole program is based on competition, so we'll go out there and practice the next couple of days and see if Charlie can pick up where he left off and see if Zach can get into a rhythm for this week."
Smith has started the last five games for the Bears after Anu Solomon suffered concussion-like symptoms in the second game of the season against UTSA. Smith hit 16 of 27 for 261 yards against the Mountaineers, but was sacked five times and led the Bears to just one touchdown and a pair of field goals in the first three quarters.
While Smith has the strongest arm among the Baylor quarterbacks, Brewer has good mobility, which is an asset with a thin offensive line.
"I thought Charlie's performance was gutty," Rhule said. "I thought it was tough. It's kind of all these things we know about Charlie. He's a competitive, fiery guy that really got out there, and really at the end of the day, the biggest thing was that he kept plays alive with his feet. I was proud of him."
Regardless of which quarterback starts, Baylor will have one less wide receiver available after freshman R.J. Sneed suffered a broken leg against West Virginia and will miss the final five games of the season.
Texas coach Tom Herman also doesn't know which quarterback will start against Baylor after Sam Ehlinger was diagnosed with concussion-like symptoms after Saturday's 13-10 overtime loss to No. 11 Oklahoma State.
If Ehlinger isn't cleared to play, sophomore Shane Buechele will start for the Longhorns (3-4, 2-2).
Rhule and Herman coached against each other in the American Athletic Conference before they moved to their present jobs this season. In the 2015 AAC championship game, Herman guided Houston to a 24-13 win over Rhule's Temple squad.
Though Baylor hasn't yet won a game, Herman is impressed by the program Rhule is building.
"At both Temple and Baylor, the effort of Matt's teams jump off the screen," Herman said. "When they play with great effort like that, they give themselves a chance to win every game. He's doing a great job of improving them every week. They do it the right way, they play tough, they play hard and tackle well. They make every effort not to beat themselves."
Herman believes Rhule has done a good job adapting to Baylor's personnel. During his four seasons as Temple University's head coach, Rhule ran a great deal of pro-style offense but is using more spread formations at Baylor.
"Their offensive philosophy is a bit different," Herman said. "Credit him because he inherited players at Baylor built for the spread. So instead of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, he adapted his system to his players."
Rhule is gearing up to play one of the toughest, most physical defenses in the Big 12 under Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando. The Longhorns contained an Oklahoma State offense that was averaging more than 40 points per game.
"They probably have one of the most talented defenses we've seen in a long time," Rhule said. "They have great players at every position. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Orlando. You take a great defensive coach like Coach Orlando and outstanding players, you can see why they have the defensive production they have."
Rhule said Baylor preseason all-Big 12 defensive lineman K.J. Smith is still unavailable to play after suffering shin splints early in the season, but could return before the end of the year.
"He's a great player and we're not going to risk his future," Rhule said. "We're not going to put him in there until he's 100 percent."
BEAR FACTS — The Nov. 4 Baylor-Kansas game in Lawrence will kick off at 11 a.m. and will be televised on FSN.

The Toronto Blue Jays take on the Kansas City Royals in a must watch game for Blue Jays fans tonight. The team may be 53-64 and 30.5 game behind the division leading Boston Red Sox, but there are two very good reasons to watch tonight. Danny Jansen will set up behind the plate to catch his AAA teammate Sean Reid-Foley as the pair make their Major League debuts. According to MLB Pipeline, Jansen is the #3 Jays prospect with Reid-Foley sitting at #10. Tonight's game will provide a glimpse into the not so distant future of an organization desperately in need of a boost.
Jansen has enjoyed a great season with the AAA Buffalo Bisons. His slash line of .275/.390/.473 offers an insight into the type of hitter he is. A contact hitter with sneaky power, his K:BB ratio sits at 49:44 on the season. His 12 home runs are a career high. He pulls the ball over half of the time, but is capable of spraying hits to all fields. A solid defender, Jansen projects to be the Blue Jays catcher of the future. The Blue Jays called him up during the Bisons game on Saturday. Jansen was in the hole when the dugout phone rang. He started hugging his teammates and was told by manager Bobby Meacham, "Kid, you're going to the big leagues, I don't want to see you again." I previously wrote about Jansen earlier this season, saying that he deserved a chance to play. He's going to get that shot now.
Reid-Foley began the season with the AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats where he made 8 starts before earning a promotion to Buffalo. With the Bisons, he has a 3.50 ERA/3.04 FIP/3.30 xFIP in 15 starts. He is striking out 10.28/9, walking 2.95/9 while only giving up 0.55 HR/9. He has only given up more than 3 runs twice in AAA and has lowered his opponents BABIP to .299 after having it over .340 at one point.
Jansen is expected to be on the 2019 Opening Day roster with Reid-Foley seen as an outside contender for a rotation spot. With #12 prospect Ryan Borucki already in the rotation, the youth movement has begun in earnest for the Blue Jays. As Jays fans search for reasons to watch a losing team, these kids are showing off their skills and providing hope for the future.

|Lindka Cierach
|1986 (1986)
The Wedding dress of Sarah Ferguson was worn by Sarah Ferguson at her wedding to Prince Andrew, Duke of York on 23 July 1986 at Westminster Abbey. Designed by Lindka Cierach, the dress was made from ivory duchesse satin and featured heavy beading. The beadwork incorporated various symbols including hearts representing romance, anchors and waves representing Prince Andrew's sailing background and bumblebees and thistles, which were taken from Sarah Ferguson's family crest. Copies of the dress, including the motifs specific to the royal family, went on sale in stores just hours after the end of the wedding. Influenced by the Wedding dress of Lady Diana Spencer, a notable feature of Sarah Ferguson's 17 foot long train was the intertwined initials A and S sewn in silver beads. The head-dress and bouquet, fabric rosettes or artificial silk flowers were used to adorn the gown itself. Ferguson was pleased with the dress, describing it in her 1997 memoir, My Story, as "an exquisite creation I'd lost twenty-six pounds to fit into. Lindka was a genius; I knew she could make the most flattering gown ever, and she had. It was amazingly boned, like a corset." The ivory silk wedding dress became the season's most sought-after style.

George H.W. Bush. [Source: George Herbert Walker Bush.net]CIA Director William Casey meets with Vice President George Bush (himself a former CIA director). Casey is a hardline conservative, nominally at odds with the more traditional, moneyed conservatism of Bush, but Casey has learned to trust Bush's abilities. "Casey knew there was nobody in government who could keep a secret better," a former CIA official will observe. "He knew that Bush was someone who could keep his confidence and be trusted. Bush had the same capacity as Casey to receive a briefing and give no hint that he was in the know." Casey wants Bush to run a secret errand to Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator, as part of a scheme Casey has concocted to force the hand of Iran (see July 23, 1986). Specifically, Casey wants Bush to have Hussein step up his bombing of Iranian territory. Bush is already going to the Middle East to, as Bush told reporters, "advance the peace process." Casey's idea is to force Iran's hand by having Hussein escalate his air strikes into the heart of that nation; in return, Iran would have to turn to the US for missiles and other air defense weapons. That would give the US leverage in negotiating with Iran for the release of the US hostages it holds. Two Reagan administration officials later say that Casey is also playing two rival policy factions within the administration (see January 14, 1984). Bush complies with Casey's request; in doing so, Bush, as reporters Murray Waas and Craig Unger will write in 1992, puts himself "directly in the center of action—in a role at the very point where a series of covert initiatives with Iraq and Iran converge[s]." [New Yorker, 11/2/1992; Affidavit. United States v. Carlos Cardoen, et al.

The Defense Department discovers that an Iraqi front company in Cleveland is funneling US technology to Iraq's nuclear-weapons program. However, the Bush administration allows the company to continue its operations, even after Iraq invades Kuwait in 1990 (see November 8, 1990). At the same time, a top-secret CIA assessment informs Secretary of State James Baker that Iraq has a nuclear weapons program, and is using "covert techniques" to obtain the technology needed to build a nuclear bomb. The report identifies some of the specific dual-use technology that Iraq's procurement network is trying to obtain around the world for its nuclear-weapons program, including oscilloscopes, high-speed cameras, and centrifuges.

James A. Baker. [Source: Library of Congress]By this date, all international banks have cut off loans to Iraq. Notwithstanding, President Bush, ignoring warnings from his own departments about the alarming buildup of the Iraqi military and Iraq's continued development of weapons of mass destruction (see June 1989 and September 1989), signs the secret National Security Directive 26 establishing closer ties to the Baghdad regime and providing $1 billion in agricultural loan guarantees to that government. These funds allow Iraq to continue its development of weapons of mass destruction. Four days later, Secretary of State James Baker meets with Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz and promises that the US will not curb restrictions on high-technology exports to Iraq. Baker is ignoring the CIA's warnings that Iraq is using some of this technology to develop a nuclear weapon. The State Department's minutes of the Baker-Aziz meeting reads in part, "[T]he Secretary admitted that the US does have concerns about proliferation, but they are worldwide concerns."

Saddam Hussein, emboldened by President Bush's continued support for his regime even as he develops chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons (see September 1989) and is gassing his own citizens (see August 25, 1988), boasts that he now has chemical weapons and will "burn half of Israel." Additionally, Iraqi forces on manuevers in the southern part of the country are being told that they are training to attack Israel. Nevertheless, the White House blocks efforts by the Commerce Department to stop the flow of US technology to Iraq, even technology that is being used to develop weapons of mass destruction (see 1990 and July 18, 1990-August 1, 1990). One White House official explains, "The president does not want to single out Iraq." US diplomat Joseph Wilson, the deputy chief of mission in Baghdad (see September 5, 1988 and After), will later write: "While we were concerned about the tensions in Iraq's relations with Kuwait (see May 28-30, 1990 and July 17, 1990), we did not suspect that the southern military exercises were, in fact, a first signal of Iraq's intention to invade that country. We were more worried that Saddam's hard line toward Israel would further inflame Arab passions and contribute to making any lasting settlement between Israel and the Palestinians that much more difficult to achieve."

April Glaspie and Saddam Hussein. [Source: Wilson's Almanac]The US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, goes to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry to meet with Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, to deliver a statement made earlier in the week by State Department spokesperson Margaret Tutwiler. The statement is equivocal about Iraq's belligerent pose towards Kuwait (see July 22, 1990), noting that although the US has no mutual defense pact with Kuwait, "Iraq and others know there is no place for coercion and intimidation in the civilized world." Deputy Chief of Mission Joseph Wilson will later describe Glaspie as having "a keen mind and a profound understanding of the issues." [Wilson, 2004, pp. 98] One-on-One with Saddam Hussein - Shortly after her meeting with Aziz, she is summoned back to the Foreign Ministry and driven from there to a meeting with Saddam Hussein. Wilson will write: "This was unprecedented. During the two years she had been ambassador, Saddam had never held a private meeting with her, delegating all contact to Aziz or other underlings." During the meeting, Glaspie promises Hussein that President Bush wants "better and deeper relations." She tells Hussein that Bush is an "intelligent man," and adds, "He is not going to declare an economic war against Iraq." [Washington Post, 12/30/2002; London Times, 12/31/2002; Wilson, 2004, pp. 98] 'No Opinion on Arab-Arab Conflicts' - Glaspie tells Hussein: "We have considerable sympathy for your quest for higher oil prices, the immediate cause of your confrontation with Kuwait.… We know you need funds. We understand that, and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country. We can see that you have deployed massive numbers of troops in the south. Normally that would be none of our business, but when this happens in the context of your other threats against Kuwait, then it would be reasonable for us to be concerned. For this reason, I have received an instruction to ask you, in the spirit of friendship—not confrontation—regarding your intentions: Why are your troops massed so very close to Kuwait's borders?" Hussein answers that he intends to try to negotiate a peaceful settlement with Kuwait; Glaspie asks what solutions Hussein would find acceptable. Hussein wants to keep the entire Shatt al Arab [a strategically important waterway] under Iraqi control, and if given that, he is willing to make concessions to Kuwait. However, if he has to give up some control of the Shatt, he will renounce all control in favor of bringing Kuwait back under Iraqi dominion. Glaspie replies: "We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary [of State James] Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America." Reportedly Hussein takes this as a green light from the US to proceed with the invasion. [New York Times, 9/23/1990; Los Angeles Times, 1/5/2003] Glaspie Said to Be Scapegoated - Wilson will later write that the US policy failure that led to the invasion is not Glaspie's fault and that she is merely made a scapegoat for it (see July 25, 1990 and After): "The one-on-one meeting with Saddam was fateful for Ambassador Glaspie. Out of it emerged the charge that she had not been tough enough with him and had somehow given him a green light to invade Kuwait. Nothing could be further from the truth." Charge of US Manipulation - Author and investigative producer Barry Lando will say that the price of oil was manipulated with US connivance before the crisis in an effort to hurt Iraq (see Around July 25, 1990).

George H.W. Bush and Dick Cheney. [Source: Representational Pictures]President Bush, reeling from the Republican defeat in the midterm elections two days before, announces the deployment of 200,000 more troops around the Persian Gulf to augment the 250,000 already in place. Bush announces the deployment without consulting or advising Congress, a brush-off that angers many legislators who feel that Bush kept this from Congress in order to make sure it did not become an election issue. Bush is also weighing the advice of Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, who argues that the president does not need the authorization of Congress to wage war. [Dean, 2007, pp. 90]

Outgoing president George H. W. Bush defends his protection and support of Iraq in the years, months, and days preceding Iraq's invasion of Kuwait (see July 23, 1986 and November 8, 1990), arguing that "we were trying to work with Saddam Hussein and try[ing] to bring him along into the family of nations." He will deny that the US in any way helped Hussein in his attempts to develop a nuclear weapon (see November 1989), calling any such allegations "fallacious." However, a raft of secret US government documents contradict Bush's denials and prove that Bush's own actions helped propel the United States into war with Iraq (see July 25, 1990).

Vital Tests to Diagnose Diabetes
- 1 Month ago

Truworth Wellness
To find out if you have type 2 diabetes, you usually go through the following 2 steps:
- See your physician for your symptoms.
- Your physician will ask you to get your urine test done to detect the presence of glucose or ketone bodies and the blood test is done to check the blood sugar levels and confirm diabetes.
Urine test for diabetes
Urine tests are often done to diagnose type1 diabetes by detecting ketone bodies in the urine. The body produces ketone bodies when fat tissue is used for energy instead of blood sugar. Laboratories test urine for these ketone bodies. Large amounts of ketone bodies in the urine indicate that your body is not making enough insulin and help in the diagnosis of diabetes.
Blood test for diabetes
In its early stages, diabetes may or may not cause many symptoms and the best way to diagnose diabetes at an early stage is through a blood test.

Vicci Davidson chaired a ministers' meeting on the afternoon of 15 September 2015 at Bethany Chapel. Also present were Pat Felstead, Steve Jenkins (host), John Latham, Krzysztof Olejnik, Ann Peterken, Jenny Snashall, Gareth Wardell, Derek Winterburn, and Paul Danon (minuting). Apologies for absence had been received from Craig Holmes and Duncan Macpherson.
The minutes of the June meeting were considered. There had been a meeting with Tina English of Embracing Age, where churches had described their provision for, and ministry to, the elderly. Steve may be able to provide Paul with Ms English's presentation for wider circulation. The meeting agreed that Gareth's nominee would be put forward as CTaH's representative on SACRE. Gareth would put his nominee in touch with Paul who could, in turn, put the nominee in touch with Mr Tom Scholes-Fogg who runs the committee.
On the matter of a food bank, Craig Holmes had written: "As a church we also support the Feltham foodbank project 'Storehouse', so although we're happy to support the idea of a Hampton foodbank perhaps it's not top of our priority list." The YMCA at the White House seemed keenly committed to starting a food bank in Hampton, and Derek would speak to Bob Kimmerling of the Vineyard and Richard James of the YMCA to find out:
The URC had also generously offered to host such a service, but it was thought appropriate initially to see what the White House was doing and support that. All churches could provide volunteers as well as food. Churches would need a list of what the food banks needed. The Trussell Trust provides a specimen list on its website, but needs will vary by place; some of the poorest people needed food which did not need cooking. On the subject of poverty, the Hampton Fuel Allotments, Local Assistance Scheme and School of Industry were sources of support. A good exercise for young people might be using modern media to promote these good causes among those who may need their services.
The URC had requested a letter of support for its Place to Go project and Paul would draft one in time for the forum on the 22nd. That meeting would consist of:
Derek was involved in preparations for remembrance Sunday on 8 November. Churches should liaise with him about wreaths. Vicci would lend a musical keyboard and John Latham would seek someone to play it. Max would bring public address. It was expected that Jenny, Gareth, Steve and Derek would attend. Vicci would perform the ministry of the word at the 2016 ceremony.
For the AGM on 15 November at St Mary's, Jenny would preach at the service and there would hopefully be the above-mentioned speakers to talk about the food bank. A financial report (30 copies) would be given in the customary format and elections would be held for chairman, vice-chairman (ideally a lay person if the chairman is a cleric), secretary and treasurer.
For the festive event in Hampton Hill High Street on 27 November, Vicci would bring a worship-band to lead carols sung from Steve's books. There would also be a Get in the Picture tableau vivant of the nativity outside the URC. Vicci had children's costumes and Steve would consult his congregation about their involvement. For unity-week (18-25 January), Jenny would host a songs of praise at 18:30 on 17 January with Vicci playing, followed by coffee and cake.
There was a discussion of the refugee-crisis. Churches were still formulating policy on this. Tear Fund had made suggestions on helping refugees. One suggestion was that John and Gareth might formulate eight questions on the subject for a forum-discussion. The matter will be on the agenda for the next ministers' meeting. The Methodists are holding monthly meetings for young mothers on Friday-mornings from 11. Pat will ask Marling Court if they would like a carol-service during the week commencing 14 December. The ministers will next meet at 10:30 on Tuesday 10 November at Hampton Methodist church.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) Ethiopia's planned new airport on the outskirts of the capital is still years from becoming a reality but Tewodros Dawit can already envision how grand it will look.
"The airport we are planning to build is going to be huge. Very huge," Tewodros said one recent afternoon as he examined project plans in his office in Addis Ababa. "It will be one of the biggest airports in the world. I don't know what other countries are planning in this regard for the future but no country has created this much capacity so far in Africa."
Ethiopia, once known for epic famines that sparked global appeals for help, has a booming economy and big plans these days. The planned airport is one of several muscular, forward-looking infrastructure projects undertaken by the government that have fueled talk of this East African country as a rising African giant.
Addis Ababa increasingly looks like an enormous construction site, with cranes and building blocks springing up in many corners of the city. Britain, long a source of charitable aid for Ethiopia, announced last month that Ethiopia's growing economy means the time has come for "transitioning support toward economic development to help generate jobs, income and growth."
Over the last decade Ethiopia's economy has grown at an average of 11 percent, more than double the rate for sub-Saharan Africa, according to U.N. figures. The growth is fueled in part by huge public expenditure on energy and infrastructure projects that make the country attractive to long-term private investment. The projects are being funded mostly through loans obtained from partners such as China, India and the World Bank.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has revealed that it would go after those arresting and detaining innocent Jewish worshipers in Umuahia, the capital of Abia State.
The group was reacting to the arrest of some Jewish worshipers in the state, insisting that not every Jewish worshiper is a member of the IPOB.
In a statement to DAILY POST on Wednesday, by its Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group wondered why the Government of Abia and the Commissioner of Police should arrest innocent worshipers just because their leader, Nnamdi Kanu belongs to the religion.
The statement said, "We the global family of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to reiterate once again that the arrest and intimidation of Jewish adherents yesterday 11th December, 2018 during their peaceful procession in the city of Umuahia to sensitize general public about their denominations was unconstitutional. The barbaric attack on the innocent Jewish worshipers exercising their legitimate rights by combined security forces is totally abnormal and unacceptable, the IPOB and other Jewish adherents across the whole world cannot allow those behind the evil acts to go Scot free.
"IPOB must continue to write and tweet world and religious leaders extensively in the coming days to condemn the persecution and arrest of our religious adherents who committed no crime against anybody or Nigerian state. We will go after the perpetrators of this sacrilegious act against the Jewish adherents of the oldest religion in Umuahia and those who were deceptively saying that IPOB was involved in a show of force with the police yesterday in Umuahia, Abia state. We must correct this misleading impression before it gains ground because most gullible might accept that IPOB was involved in any fracas with Nigeria security forces when nothing like that ever happened.
"Biafrans, wherever you may be, should never underestimate the poison dripping from the tip of the pen of certain individuals in the pay of the government who are in the habit of always saying IPOB was involved in a rally when such never happened.
"The peaceful procession yesterday was the prerogative of our traditional Jewish Religious Adherents not IPOB and cannot be. This is the fact and one that must be conveyed to counter the lies of the enemy. We continue to wonder why Abia State Police Commissioner and other pro-APC elements are twisting this story to make it what it's not.
"There are more than 50million Biafrans practising Judaism in various forms from the beginning of time before the creation of this evil contraption called Nigeria by British in 1914 and establishment of IPOB in 2012. These are facts we cannot escape from. Okezie Ikpeazu must release those he ordered their detention. The fact our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and others practice Judaism does not mean every Jewish religious member is an IPOB member.
"We in IPOB do not hide or disguise our appearance since the inception of this divine movement and we have no reason to do so. We have always maintained our fearlessness before our enemies."

Macbeth Is a Villain in Whom There Is Little to Admire". Do You Think This Is a Satisfactory Comment on Macbeth? **Using Textual Evidence**
Bravery and courage displayed by Macbeth throughout the play causes responders to admire him. In the beginning of the play we come to know Macbeth as a typical general; someone who is brave, loyal, valiant and heroic. Responders view his success against Ireland and Norway in the battle, as courage and loyalty to King Duncan and hence admiring Macbeth for his abilities. "For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name-"(Act I, Scene II, Line 18) proves Macbeth's bravery and gives the sense of admiration for him straight off.
Towards the end of the play, Macbeth's bravery is also shown. In Act V, Macbeth is left alone to fight for himself, as nearly all of his men had abandoned his side and joined up with Malcolm. When Macduff finally confronts Macbeth, Macbeth discovers that Macduff was not "born of woman", and realises the mistake he had made, but, even with that knowledge, Macbeth refused to yield and still fought bravely to his defeat. "I will not yield To kiss young Malcolm's feet, And to be baited with the rabble's curse. Though Birnam wood be come to Dunsinane, And thou oppos'd, being of no woman born, Yet I will try the last" (Act 5, Scene 8, Lines 32-37). Thus showing Macbeth's bravery, even though Macbeth himself knew that he stood no chance of winning, he still fought Macduff with all he had and refused to face defeat without a fight. Although he is a villain', his bravery and courage causes admiration from responders, and hence, Macbeth is not a villain in whom there is little to admire.
Although Macbeth had committed many awful and unforgivable deeds, within him is the guilt and remorse for those people who were his victims. In Act 5, Scenes 7 and 8, Macduff confronts Macbeth and challenges him to fight; however, Macbeth is reluctant to fight, as he was feeling guilty enough for slaughtering Macduff's entire family, "Of all men else I have avoided thee: But get thee back; my soul is too much charged With blood of thine already" (Act 5, Scene 8, Lines 5-7). This demonstrates how Macbeth does have human feelings within him, and is something which is to be admired about. This also proves how Macbeth has the feeling of guilt and regrets what he had abruptly done.
Act 3, Scene 4 is another piece of Macbeth's guilty conscience being put into play. Macbeth, whom already had Banquo assassinated, felt that guilty conscience while at the banquet. He hallucinates, seeing the ghost of Banquo. "Thou canst not say I did it: never shake Thy glory locks at me" (Lines 63-64). As he continues to see Banquo's voice, fear and guilt overrides him. Hence, Macbeth is not a villain in whom there is little to admire.
Macbeth had questioned himself many times before murdering Duncan, which at least shows decency, in his character, and an admirable aspect. In Act 1, Scene 7, Macbeth is shown wrestling with his conscience. He considers the consequences of...

"Avengers Disassembled" is a 2004 crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics involving the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor. It sees the beginning of Brian Michael Bendis' Avengers run with the destruction of the existing traditional roster, and exile of several key members of the team; the storyline includes a number of subplots, some of which take place prior to and after the storyline, which depict other changes to the status quo: Iron Man once again closeting his secret identity, Spider-Man developing organic webshooters (as in the Sam Raimi film trilogy), and the death of Thor and Asgard in one final Ragnarok.
The main story ("Chaos") ran in Avengers #500-503 and a special epilogue ("Avengers Finale") and drew considerable controversy due to its overt continuity errors related to its main plot and deaths and vilification of classic Avengers members; these continuity errors and fan backlash would lead to retconning of the events in "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" and "AXIS," as well as the "Marquis of Death" story line from Mark Millar's Fantastic Four run and J. Michael Straczynski's "Amazing Spider-Man" run.
The series would also see to a massive relaunch of the Avengers family of titles with new ongoing series launched for the Thunderbolts, Captain America, and Iron Man as well as the launching of Young Avengers and Thor going on a three-year hiatus.

Plot summary[edit]
Jack of Hearts, who had been dead prior to the storyline, arrives at Avengers Mansion; the zombified hero explodes, damaging the mansion. Ant-Man, who approaches his former teammate, is seemingly killed in the blast, but in truth is teleported away by future versions of his daughter, Cassie Lang, and her teammates, the Young Avengers. With Ant-Man presumed dead, Doctor Doom orders Wanda Maximoff to send the Vision (piloting an Avengers Quinjet) to crash into the partially damaged Avengers Mansion, causing more damage.
Elsewhere, the mind-controlled Wanda arrives at the United Nations where she has a conversation with Captain America, who announces that he is ending their fledgling relationship. Furious, Wanda uses her powers to cause Tony Stark to suddenly become drunk and belligerent at an important meeting where the Avengers would have their UN security clearance revoked following the events of Secret War. Attempting to pick a fight with the Latverian ambassador, the Avengers UN charter is revoked as Iron Man leaves Hank Pym in the lurch to respond to the "Code White" from Avengers Mansion.
Leaving the Avengers Quinjet he crashed, Vision warns the Avengers of Doom's plan to destroy the team and then vomits up a series of eggs that spawn Ultron drones that attack the Avengers. With Doom and the mind-controlled Wanda watching from the shadows, She-Hulk is hexed by Wanda and becomes consumed with bloodlust, tearing Vision in half and brutally assaulting Wasp and Captain America.
Ultimately, She-Hulk is subdued by Iron Man and Captain America as Hank Pym joins them and rushes Wasp to the hospital. Returning, Hank reveals to Cap and the team of Iron Man's drunken outburst at the UN and the UN's decision to revoke their charter; as the super-hero community gathers at the mansion, the Avengers do not know that several of the members are constructs created by the possessed Wanda on behalf of Doctor Doom to spy on the Avengers.
As the Avengers fear that Ultron may be behind the attack, Doom orders Wanda to summon an armada of Kree soldiers to attack Manhattan. In the ensuing battle, Hawkeye is killed when his arrows are hit causing their explosives to go off. In his dying moments, Hawkeye takes out a Kree battleship in the blast after taking flight with a commandeered Kree jet pack.
In the wake of Hawkeye's death, Doctor Strange suddenly appears for the first time since the Dark Dimension invasion several months prior, his memories altered due to Baron Mordo's meddling, he immediately suspects Scarlet Witch of being responsible and accuses her of having turned against the Avengers in a fit of madness over the loss of her children, triggered by Wasp's comment about aborting her and Hawkeye's would-be children. Strange, no longer familiar with chaos magic due to Mordo, also assumes that Wanda's ability to launch such a complex scheme indicates that she's a high-level reality warper, and that she must be taken down immediately before she threatens the world in her current mental state.
The Avengers visit Agatha Harkness's home, where the Life Force possessed Wanda has been left alone by Doom to eliminate the Avengers. Summoning an army of constructs, including a version of Rogue and Red Skull and a group of SS troops, the Life Force entity attempts to destroy the Avengers before Doctor Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto to put Wanda into a coma. However, by this point, Professor X sends Magneto to retrieve Wanda from the Avengers, much to Captain America's dismay and horror. Reluctantly, he allows Magneto to take his daughter with him after he vows to help her.[1]
Iron Man[edit]
After rescuing Force from the corrupt senators who have been trying to kill Tony Stark since he became Secretary of Defense, Iron Man finds himself targeted by an Iron Man impostor who murders his longtime love interest Rumiko Fujikawa. Iron Man eventually defeats his impersonator and bring down the ring of corrupt senators who were behind the murder and Force being blackmailed. Realizing that his loved ones are being targeted by his enemies, Stark gives a press conference where he announces that he is resigning as Secretary of Defense and will no longer actively be Iron Man, in favor of returning to "subordinates" filling the role for him.
A mystic force that is the living embodiment of Ragnarok has begun slaying the Asgardian Gods, in rapid succession. Investigating the genocide of his people, Thor discovers that the universe itself is seeking to eliminate the Asgardians for cheating death by surviving countless previous attempts by the universe to fulfill Ragnarok and wipe out the Asgardians. Ultimately Thor allows himself to be destroyed, as all known Asgardians are destroyed.
Captain America and Falcon[edit]
Captain America and Falcon are in the midst of an international scandal between a naval intelligence operation (ONI) and a Drug Cartel with ties to A.I.M when Cap starts having hallucinations; some of them involving encounters with his fellow Avenger Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch. Meanwhile, Falcon is gifted a new enhanced costume from Wakanda and uses it to escape the feds. Captain America discusses his past, most notably his guilt from the death of Bucky, with Scarlet Witch and she eases his trouble. While they engage in a romance, Cap cites that he can not give her the normal life she desires due to his own emotional issues, his apparent romance with Wanda ceases just prior to the UN meeting to determine if the Avengers will retain their UN Charter. Wanda, oddly tells him she has no recollection of their romance, indicating that Cap hallucinated the whole thing. Cap later believes that due to the events of "Avengers Disassembled", Wanda was responsible for his visions and Falcon's aggressive behavior.[2]
Spectacular Spider-Man[edit]
Peter Parker finds himself locked in a desperate battle with Adrianna "Ana" Soria (aka "The Queen"), a mysterious villainess with the ability to control her minions with powerful pheromones. During their first confrontation, a captive Peter is forcefully kissed by the Queen, causing him to mutate into a grotesque human-spider hybrid over the course of many days; as he attempts to return himself to normal, it's ultimately revealed that the Queen's powers are the result of an American military experiment from World War II, and she has returned to seek revenge on the US government for abandoning her after the war.
In his final confrontation with the Queen, Peter stops her from destroying all human life in New York City with a biological bomb. In the course of the battle, he is fully transformed into a monstrous spider, but the transformation has the unintended side-effect of making him pregnant — allowing him to give birth to a perfect replica of his old human self, with all of his memories fully intact. In his new form, Peter possesses the ability to shoot organic webbing from his wrists, eliminating the need for his homemade "web-shooters".
Fantastic Four[edit]
While the Avengers face the destruction of their mansion and the invading Kree armada, Wizard and the Frightful Four launch a surprise attack on the Fantastic Four, defeating the heroes and seizing control over the Baxter Building; the Fantastic Four regroup and beat the villains.
Captain America[edit]
Following the events of "Disassembled", Captain America is naturally depressed and rekindles a relationship with Diamondback (Rachel Leighton). Meanwhile, the Red Skull conspires with a corrupt SHIELD agent to kill Captain America using Diamondback, but his plan backfires. During these events Steve realizes his love for Rachel.
In the wake of "Avengers Disassembled", two new Avengers series were created; the New Avengers title replaced the Avengers title (with a new No. 1 in December 2004) which ended with issue No. 503 and Avengers Finale (November 2004). This new title continued with the creative team of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist David Finch; the other title, premiering February 2005, was Young Avengers, which featured teenage heroes, each of whom (excepting Hawkeye) related in some way to the legacy of the Avengers. This series was written by Allan Heinberg, a writer for The OC, with art by Jim Cheung; the group was revived by its creators in July 2010 with the bimonthly series Avengers: The Children's Crusade which is a follow-up to Disassembled and House of M.
The Scarlet Witch's storyline continued in the pages of Excalibur, where Magneto and Professor X tried helping her, to no avail; this in turn led into the House of M mini-series and crossover, also written by Bendis.
The event is now considered by Marvel editors as the first part of a long series of events, which includes House of M, Decimation, Planet Hulk, Civil War, The Initiative, Endangered Species, World War Hulk, Messiah Complex, Divided We Stand, Secret Invasion, Manifest Destiny, Dark Reign, Messiah War, Utopia, Nation X and Necrosha . All these grim events lead up to Siege written by Brian Michael Bendis in 2010, which ushers in a new Heroic Age for Marvel, and X-Men: Second Coming by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle, which sees the slow rebirth of Earth's Mutant population.
As for the Avengers killed during Disassembled saga, they have all returned to life in separate events. Hawkeye was rematerialized by Wanda during the House of M story. Ant Man was rescued by the time-traveling Young Avengers during The Children's Crusade, as Stature brings him away from the range of Jack of Hearts' explosion. Ant-Man is thus brought to the present along with the Young Avengers; the Vision is successfully rebuilt by Tony Stark after Fear Itself, and Jack of Hearts is restored by a team of scientists of Project Pegasus: during an assault of a pack of zombified clones of Squadron Supreme, a source of zero-point energy aggregates taking the corporeal form of Jack Hart.

Later references to the storyline[edit]
New Avengers Disassembled[edit]
Although not directly connected with the previous storyline, Bendis's 5th arc on New Avengers is titled "New Avengers: Disassembled", a reference to "Avengers: Disassembled", it deals with the events of the Civil War (in which superheroes were forced to register with the government or be arrested) on the Avengers, and how the team's varying opinions have caused them to break apart. The first three issues featured Captain America, Jessica Drew and Luke Cage's opinions on the matter, all who have heavily weighed against the registration; the next two featured the Sentry and Iron Man, both of whom were for registration. New avengers 21-25
Avengers: The Initiative Disassembled[edit]
Like the 5th arc of Bendis's New Avengers, the storyline of Avengers: The Initiative also references Avengers: Disassembled, complete with a banner reminiscent of the original. Issue No. 21, the first in the Dark Reign event, centers on the aftermath of the failed Skrull invasion, and the revelation that the shape-shifting aliens had infiltrated and corrupted the Fifty-State Initiative and Camp Hammond, where the registered heroes were trained. Most disturbingly, Camp Hammond and the Initiative were largely under the supervision of the legendary Avenger Henry Pym, but Pym had in fact been replaced by a Skrull years earlier; this is an opportunity for "top cop" Norman Osborn, the newly appointed director of H.A.M.M.E.R. (formerly S.H.I.E.L.D.) to radically redefine how the Initiative will fit into the new order—to his own advantage. Thus, the whole structure (and much of the cast) of Avengers: The Initiative is disassembled. Avengers the initiative 21-25
Avengers/New Avengers: End Times[edit]
Bendis's last Avengers and New Avengers storylines used a red smashed Avengers symbol and a black text box with white text in same font as the Disassembled logo on the front covers of each issue of thouse stories. Avengers 31-34 new avengers 31-34
Ultimates Disassembled[edit]
The 6th story arc of the 4th series of The Ultimate Comics series The Ultimates used the Disassembled name complete with the black box white text logo.
Other versions[edit]
What If?[edit]
On November 1, 2006, Marvel released a "What If?" special showing a different outcome to the storyline. In this alternate reality, the Beast, sensing something wrong, investigates afterward, he and Warbird go to see Dr. Strange who claims to have no knowledge of what occurred. Strange uses his abilities to see the event, claiming that is not really him ("Of course there's chaos magic...I would never use the Eye that way."). They deduce that Wanda used her magics to make everyone believe Strange had defeated her and Magneto then took her away; the Beast eventually figures out that Captain America, his mind suffering long-term damage from his years in ice, had pushed Wanda to do this, using the deaths to power her. They remake Genosha into a mutant paradise and Magneto fights to defend his daughter from the Avengers and the X-Men, who all end up dead as the Scarlet Witch's spell is interrupted by Rogue. In the end, Wanda and Cap allow themselves to be taken to oblivion to stop any more harm being done. Only Rogue, Ms. Marvel, Beast, Falcon, Cyclops, Iron Man and Doctor Strange are left – they were the ones who were directly confronting Cap and Wanda – and a guilt-ridden Beast, learning from Uatu that Cap would have recovered from his illness and abandoned his manipulative relationship with the Witch as he became leader of a new team of Avengers if Beast had done nothing, realizes that he should have left everything alone.
In an alternate world, the Avengers were never disassembled, but were subsequently captured by an alien race called the Trellions when the Vision detected the arrival of their agent Titannus, a brainwashed Skrull super-soldier, accompanying him on a mission to rescue his dying lover only to learn that he had been brainwashed with a fake story to lure the Avengers into a trap; the Wasp was quickly killed, Hank Pym - apparently another Hulk in this reality - was announced missing in action, and Captain America was executed to break their spirit, the reserve Avengers taking five years to rescue them and another five to beat back the Trellions sufficiently to stop them trying to re-conquer Earth. At some point, Reed Richards apparently attempted to conquer the world, Iron Man taking on a Doctor-Doom-like apparel to oppose him, killing the Human Torch before Richards sent him to Earth-616 prior to Titannus's arrival on that Earth; this Iron Man has since become the villain Iron Maniac, being kept in stasis in a Helicarrier, while the Titannus of Earth-616 was defeated by a team assembled by Doctor Strange when he detected Titannus's arrival only after Titannus had destroyed most of Tokyo in a rampage, his violent approach leaving the heroes less inclined to trust him than they had been in this world.
Great Lakes Avengers: Misassembled[edit]
The GLA miniseries, GLA: Misassembled (2005), written by Dan Slott and pencilled by Paul Pelletier, provided a tongue-in-cheek reference to Avengers Disassembled. In a move which satirized the comic book deaths in that book, it was announced that a character would die in each GLA issue. Dinah Soar, the newcomer Grasshopper, the squirrel Monkey Joe, and Doorman are all killed, and Mr. Immortal commits suicide. However, Doorman was resurrected almost immediately acquiring the powers of Deathurge, Monkey Joe was replaced with an identical squirrel called Tippy Toe and Mr. Immortal stayed dead for only a few seconds. Three other Grasshoppers appeared in later issues of GLA, and were all killed in the space of few pages, continuing the parody.
Bongo Comics Free-For-All[edit]
A Bongo Comics Free-For-All (Free Comic Book Day Special) has Comic Book Guy reading, Archie Disassembled; the following quotes: Big Ethel kills Moose to get Jughead's attention? Oh, Brian Michael Bendis, you've done it again.
Cable & Deadpool #12[edit]
Deadpool (to Agent X): "Dude, anyone wearing a harness rig has a failsafe release to prevent it from catching on fire and forcing you to fly into Kree spaceships and blow up. I mean, duh, who doesn't know that?"

Six decades of Mumbai Mafia.
Countless deaths and numerous teenagers pushed and shoved into Mafia world of Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar. Two movie adaptations; Shootout at Wadala and Shootout at Lokhandwala, thousands of media reports reporting about Mumbai Mafia from last six decades. But only one man knows the inside out of it, S. Hussain Zaidi. Zaidi is not an unknown name in Mumbai. His first extensively researched book "Black Friday", was adapted into a motion picture. Praise for Zaidi does not just end her, he is the only reporter to whom all the gangsters, including Dawood Ibrahim agree to speak too. Numerous times Zaidi has been in touch with underworld affiliates for personal interactions and interviews for various Mumbai tabloids. When Dawood left India, Zaidi was the only one who got in touch with him for an interview session. One of the most celebrated crime reporter and investigator, Zaidi came out with a new book Dongri to Dubai- Six Decades of Mumbai Mafia.
Dongri to Dubai gives you an extensive detail how a boy from an average family with a father working as a Police Inspector, turned out to be the most dangerous Mafia dons of all time.It's not a book that only covers stories of Mafia in Mumbai, it tells you how Mafia was born in Mumbai. How a Rampuri Chaku (Knife) came to be known as Rampuri, how a woman came too close to killing Dawood, gory details of Gulshan Kumar murder and attack on Rakesh Roshan for extortion money. Dongri to Dubai has it all in it. From giving a glimpse into the life of dons like Haji Mastan, Pathans who ruled Mumbai post independence and Vardha Bhai, this just forms a base of this book.
Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, fondly known as Dawood Ibrahim in India, his life is depicted as no less than a movie. From the love of his life and how she betrayed him, from being a teenager to one of the biggest masterminds of Mumbai Mafia, Dawood learnt from a very small age that money is what makes a man tick. Give him money, he is yours. Calculative and cunning in nature, even when Dawood was in Dubai, he always maintained his fear in hearts of many.
There was a time when Haji Mastan came up with the idea to get rid of competition and gang wars, planned to form an alliance with Dawood's Gang and Pathans. But then Pathans went against Dawood's Gang and killed his brother. Vengeance was born in Dawood's heart, blind with rage he forgot the alliance and started hunting down many to avenge his brother, Sabir Ibrahim Kaskar.
Mumbai police also played a huge role in Dawood's success as a Mafia Leader. They started using Dawood against other Gangster's removal squad. They sowed seeds of revenge and vengeance in his heart, in return he went on a killing spree. Every day, his manpower kept growing, from teenagers to unemployed youth, everyone wanted to follow Dawood.
Destiny turned against Dawood when Mumbai Blast happened in the year 1993, which left 350 casualties with around 1200 people seriously injured. During Dec 92′ to January 93′, there was widespread rioting in Mumbai following the demolition of Babri Masjid on 6th December in Ayodhya, thanks to joint efforts of RSS, VHS along with Advani rath yatra. This turned out to be triggering event for Mumbai Bomb Blast. Dawood Ibrahim along with his associate Tiger Memon, a gold smuggler from Pakistan, were held responsible for such a huge number of causalities.
After 93′ bomb blast, the noose was tightened around Dawood's nose. Indian authorities tried their best to extradite Dawood from Dubai but failed to do so. After some time, Dawood was moved to Karachi in an expensive villa which he fondly named "White House".
The book also covers Dawood's most trusted associate which turned to be his foe, Chotta Rajan. The story covers excruciating details about Dawood-Rajan's relationship which was celebrated in the underworld. But then Rajan's insecurities turned great friends into blood thirsting enemies.
Dongri to Dubai is every penny worth. This book couldn't have been written better by anyone. The excruciating research behind the book will keep you mesmerized and turn of events will keep you hooked to it till the end. A must read for everyone.

Beach season is here again, which means filling up a beach bag of goodies and heading for the shore. If this is your first time at the beach, or you have not been in years, you might be wondering what to bring. Thankfully, we are beach experts here at L'Auberge Del Mar and know exactly what to pack.
First, and foremost, you will need a swimsuit. Whether you are lounging about or heading into the ocean, a swimsuit is a perfect outfit for the occasion. We recommend packing a few pairs depending on how long your stay is. For shorter stays, two is perfect. For longer stays, look into bringing three swimsuits.
Get from your room to the beach in style with a cover-up. Cover-ups are perfect for throwing over your swimsuit and lightweight enough to move around in. They are also helpful for when you want to leave the beach and walk around Del Mar in something more than your swimsuit. For women, all you need is a lightweight dress and men only need a basic t-shirt to throw on.
San Diego is sunny overall, so sunglasses are useful when visiting. They are especially helpful at the beach. The sand reflects the sunlight making the beach very sunny. Sunglasses cut down the glare and allows you to enjoy the bright sunny day with ease.
Flip Flops
Flip Flops are necessary to have for the beach. They are easy to pack, easy to wear, and more importantly, it is easy to clean the sand off. Plus, it helps you get into a beachy frame of mind before you set foot on the sand.
Beach Bag
Beach Bags are a perfect way to carry all your items to the beach. Not only are they big enough to hold everything, but they are great at keeping the sand out of the inside of your bag, and most importantly, off your stuff.
Beach Towel
There are plenty of spots at the Del Mar beach to lay out a towel and soak up some sun. An advantage of towels is you can transport them easily. Just roll one up and stick them in your beach bag. They work well in the sand or on the grassy field just above the beach.
Book/ Magazine
With its peaceful atmosphere, the beach is a perfect place to catch up on your reading. So bring that book or magazine you have been meaning to read and enjoy some reading time in the sunshine.
The options are many and the food is always fresh. Whether you take in the fresh ocean breezes on Coastline, kick back poolside at Bleu Bar, or stay cozied up in your guest room, our culinary team will deliver a fresh and authentic experience showcasing local produce and sustainable seafood.Learn More
Spa L'Auberge is the perfect combination of relaxation and renewal with a focus on the healing powers of the ocean. Named in Condé Nast Traveler's "Top 25 Spas in the US", our ocean inspired Southern California spa resort near San Diego welcomes you to a variety of personalized treatments and luxurious services provided by highly trained professionals and guaranteed to make you feel pampered from head to toe.Book an Appointment
