Traditionally, people opt for long hair for women. But in the modern days, many ladies began to cut their hair short. Most of them did not look any less ladylike or less beautiful. Actually, many looked better and more vibrant in short hair.
There are lots of benefits in cutting you hair short. Let us first deal with the practical pros. First, it will take less time, less effort, and less hair products to take care and wash your hair. Your hair can even be wash-and-go. There will also be fewer tangles to manage. Tangled long strands are actually really irritating and difficult to manage. Indy days would not bother or irritate you, and there is no need to tie your hair back to keep it from falling all over your face. You will also pay cheaper for hair treatments and short hairs are not that hard to maintain as compared to long ones. Shorter hairs mean a cut on the prep time, your energy and effort, and the cost.
Also, short hair can make people focus on your face and not your hair. You would not want to hear cruel comments like "she only looks good because her hair looks good", right? And though it hurts, it is sometimes true for most women. Some actually just look good because their fine curls, or long and straight hair divert the attention away from their face and creating an illusion that they are that good-looking. A truly beautiful woman does not need hair to look better. Even if her hair is short and tied back, she will look just as pretty. Cutting your hair short makes people realize that, yes, you really do have a stunning face.
Short hairs are also way convenient on hot summer days. It lets your neck and back experience the cool breeze whereas long hairs require to be tied into ponytails and buns, even if you are not comfortable to do so.
Short hairs also look smart and sophisticated. It is best for the modern and independent woman. It is not only intelligent looking, it also looks oh-so sexy. It gives you that untraditional edge. You will appear to be a woman who is always ready to go and is up to any adventure that waits instead of being the long-haired, princess-like girl. If you are one tough chick, you can parade that short hair.
Also, short hairs are generally healthier than long ones. Because it has shorter strands, it will be less prone to damage as compared to long hairs. It is also way easier to protect and maintain.
Long hairs make you blend in, but short hairs make you stand out. It is unconventional, new and out-of-the-ordinary. It catches attention, and it sets you apart from the crowd. Why try to fit in when you were born to be noticed?
You must love your short hair because you want it that way. You don't need to spend lots of time, effort and money to maintain a long hair you don't even feel comfortable in just because somebody else thinks it looks better. Do yourself a favor. Cut that hair short, be more confident, convenient and hassle-free. Do it for you.

The year is 1955, and there's nothing that Paul and his best friends, Oz, Arnie, and Crank, love more than horror movies. So when Invasion of the Body Snatchers starts filming in their small California town, they couldn't be more excited. But when their acquaintance with Laura and Darryl, extras on the movie, leads to an involvement in a possible Communist conspiracy, Paul is afraid that they're in too deep. It's not a horror movie anymore—this is real life. From acclaimed storyteller Ronald Kidd comes this coming-of-age tale about taking a stand, following the crowd, and navigating the gray areas in between.
Ronald Kidd is the author of the highly acclaimed Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial, as well as On Beale Street. His novels of adventure, comedy, and mystery have received the Children's Choice Award, an Edgar Award nomination, and honors from the American Library Association, the Library of Congress, and the New York Public Library.

Which mattress size is right for you?
Use this mattress dimension guide to find your perfect fit.
There are 6 common mattress sizes available. From small to big, it is Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and Cal King. If you are buying a mattress for children younger than 12 years, a twin is the best option. However, if you are looking for a family size bed, a king or a cal king is probably the better choice. Here's all you need to know about mattress sizes.
When it comes to buying a mattress, options abound. From memory foam to latex to coil, it can be hard to choose what mattress is right for you. Don't get stuck being Goldilocks – this one is too-small and this one is too-big – and purchase the wrong mattress size. We created this guide so you can find your ideal mattress and feel confident in your purchase. Remember that with a mattress that has a Forever Warranty like Nectar, you'll want to buy a mattress that you can grow into – but will still fit into your room.
|96.5cm X 190.5cm
|Twin XL
|96.5cm X 203.5cm
|134.5cm X 190.5cm
|152.5cm X 203.5cm
|193cm X 203.5cm
|Cal King
|183cm X 213.5cm
This helpful guide will help you understand how beds are sized and terminology used for mattress sizes so you can find the best mattress for you, your home, and your lifestyle. Here is our detailed analysis on the five most popular types of mattresses.
Summary: Well, they say this bed is fit for a King, and it's no surprise when you consider that a King is a Full 76 inches by 80 inches. It's 16 inches wider than a Queen (but no longer) so if you are sharing a bed, you will each have a full 38 inches, which is the equivalent width of two Twins pushed together.
If you sleep with a partner then a King-size bed is going to be your best choice. The only downside? This luxurious size might not fit in your bedroom (or up the stairs!). How to move and assembled your bed is a careful consideration. That's why NECTAR ships directly to your door and offers White Glove Service to help you out with set up in your bedroom. If you prefer to try out the Nectar mattress in a store, check out the nearest stores carrying our foam mattresses using our store locator.
Before you order a King, measure your bedroom and mark the floors with tape to make sure this sized mattress is going to be a good fit. If you order a mattress that has an optional delivery service or comes direct to your door rolled up like NECTAR this will make your setup much easier. Remember that these mattresses can be heavy to move alone. But once you have your spacious King, you will feel like royalty each and every night!
California King
Best For: A couple who loves to stretch out, and maybe have a pet join them – but needs the additional length instead of width due to a slightly more narrow room.
Room Size: For frame of reference, a larged sized bedroom that is 14 feet by 19 feet can comfortably hold a King-size bed, two nightstands, a TV stand, some kind of cozy chair, and a dresser. A smaller, 10 feet by 12 feet bedroom up to a 13 feet by 19 feet bedroom can hold a King-sized bed with two nightstands and a dresser but it will be a cozier fit.
Summary: What's the difference between a King and a California King? You are not alone in asking this question! It turns out that California Kings are a bed with West Coast roots. In the early 1960s, an LA furniture company began making oversized beds for celebrity mansions. At 72 inches by 84 inches, this bed became the largest on the market. The good news is that you don't have to be a celebrity (or have a mansion!) to have a California King size bed. And at 72 inches wide by 84 inches long, these are actually 4 inches narrower and 4 inches longer than a regular King.
King size beds are best for individuals who are taller and need the extra length, or for bedrooms that are longer than they are wide. This will help fill up the space of a narrow room proportionately. When it comes to whether you should get a King or a California King, just take into account your bedroom size, nightstands, and maneuvering the mattress. Once those items are addressed, you'll sleep like a King.
Best For: Teenagers, young children with parents who like to read to them in bed, or a single person with a dog.
Room Size: To adequately fit a Queen as well as have room to walk around the bed or fit other furniture, a bedroom should be at least 9.6 feet by 10 feet in size. The recommended size for a Queen bed can vary from 10 feet by 10 feet or up to 10 feet by 14 feet depending on how much furniture you have and how much walking room you want around the bed.
Summary: Queen mattresses might very well be the best of all worlds since they comfortably fit two people, and most bedroom spaces. Considered the most popular mattress option on the market, the dimensions of a Queen bed dimensions are 60 inches wide by approximately 80 inches long. They are an additional 7 inches wider and 5 inches longer than a Double or Full-size mattress. These added inches can make all the difference in comfort, especially for couples, and have made the queen-size mattress today's most popular mattress size.
However, with 30 inches of personal space, they certainly aren't as roomy as a King which gives an additional 8 inches per person on top of that. Still, a Queen-size bed is the obvious option for couples who are fine sleeping closer together or just want more leftover space in their bedroom. Those who are single will love being able to fully stretch out without feeling like they are drowning in a King-sized bed, and those who have a dog or child who likes to crawl into bed with them might find that their Queen sized bed will still offer plenty of room. When considering a mattress, you can't go wrong with a Queen.
Did You Know?!In Italy, beds are classified by name and use the term Piazza
Full or Double
Best For: Teenagers, young children with parents who like to read to them in bed, or a single person with a dog.
Room Size: To adequately fit a Double bed and have room to walk around or fit other furniture, a bedroom should be at least 9 feet by 9.6 feet in size at the minimum. Note that the average room size for this mattress is up to 10 feet by 12 feet.
Summary: Coming in at 54 inches wide and 75 inches long, a Full mattress (also known as a Double bed) is the same length as a Twin, and not actually "double the width of" a Single, which can be misleading. In fact, it's only 15" wider than a Single. A Full or Double is not really a "Double" for people either as it is best for a single sleeper who wanted more width, but it doesn't give them any more length.
It might be a good idea to choose a Full size instead of a Twin for your teenagers room if you don't have room for a Queen. The extra room can also be helpful for a younger child who likes to have a parent read to them, or a single person with a dog who sleeps in their bed. But for two adults, that only gives you 27 inches of space each, which is likely not enough for most people to rest comfortably throughout the night.
So remember – double's are actually best for singles! If there are two people in the bed, you are better off bumping up to a Queen or King unless you want to be very cozy!
Best For: Young children up to 12 years old, guest bedrooms, college dorm rooms.
Room Size: To adequately fit a Twin XL mattress in a bedroom, it is recommended that you leave room to walk around or fit other furniture, a bedroom should be at least 8 feet by 10 feet in size. The minimum size is about 9 feet by 9 feet. However this doesn't allow for much space between the beds and any desks or wardrobes are going to be on the small side with less than ideal space for getting dressed or moving around. If this reminds you of a cramped college dorm room – you are right!
Summary: Coming in at 39 inches, a Twin XL is the same width as a normal Twin. However, it provides an extra 5 inches in the length (hence why it is called a Twin XL) which makes it the length of the standard Queen and King mattresses. A Twin XL is best for those who would go with a Twin due to having a tight space or sleeping quarters, but enjoy the extra length that a Twin XL gives.
The Twin XL certainly provides extra leg room for your growing child, and enough that it can be comfortable for college athletes (yes, Twin XL's are commonly used in dorm rooms). If you want to push two Twins together to use the foam bridge pads, the Twin Xl will allow you to achieve dimensions closer to a King.
Best For: Children 2-12 years old, or guest bedrooms
Room Size: To adequately fit a Twin bed or Single bed as well as have room to walk around or fit other furniture, a bedroom should be at least 7 feet by 10 feet in size at minimum. If you are putting two Twin beds in a room, it should be 9 feet by 9 feet at minimum. Twins are also used commonly for bunk beds, in which case you should factor in extra height but will not need as much square feet.
Summary: Most of us have likely slept in a Twin mattress at one point in our lives. They are the smallest mattresses but often found in hotel rooms, guest rooms, or kids rooms. Twin mattresses usually run about 39 inches wide by 75 inches long – making them too small for some adults. So who is best for a Twin mattress? Like we mentioned, these can be good for children, or in guest rooms.
After your child graduates from a crib to a Twin bed, you can use safety rails on the side of the Twin bed so they won't roll off the bed. If you have two children, you might consider two Twin beds in a room, or even bunk beds if they are old enough to be able to climb up and down safely. Depending on the space in the room, or if each child has his/her own room, you can upgrade them to a Full-size, Double, or Queen size bed that they can grow into and have throughout their teenage years.
If you have an especially small room and are trying to get more beds to fit, you can even have two sets of bunk beds and sleep up to four! You can also buy bed covers or foam bridge pads for Twins to be pushed together to make a larger bed which is very versatile for both children and most adults. However keep in mind if you do this that while you will get a wide bed, you will not have the length you might need for adults.
There is no "Best" bed size, only what's best for you. Take into account how big your bedroom is, how much walking distance you need around the bed, furniture in the room, and how much space you need when you sleep (ie, do you sleep curled up like a baby, or like to stretch out!). Also keep in mind if you are single or share a bed with a partner and/or pet. While you need enough space, the most important consideration for your rest is sleeping on a comfortable and supportive mattress. Use our mattress dimensions guide to see which NECTAR is right for you.
A Full size bed is large enough for two if it is a parent reading their child a bedtime story, or a couple sleeping so close together they will be touching. For two adults, a Full only gives you 27 inches of space each, which is likely not enough for most people to rest comfortably throughout the night. So remember – double's are actually best for singles!
Most couples choose to have a King or California King sized bed based on preference for more space for each person. However since space can be limited, the next most favorable bed size for couples is a Queen. Unfortunately anything smaller than a Queen is going to be a tight squeeze and you will feel your partner rolling around at night. A King size NECTAR memory foam bed reduces motion transfer significantly so you will get a great night's sleep with partners and/or pets in the bed.
You should get the sized bed that fits your room best. Use our mattress guide to help you determine the best size mattress for your room.
Some couples like to sleep in a smaller bed to feel close and cuddly, while others prefer a little space. Sleeping well with your partner is helpful for marriage. Being in a bed that is too small and feeling your partner toss and turn, or feeling crammed into bed won't be fun for anyone. When you wake up rested, you will be more prone to have a healthy, happy marriage. However, when you have a bed like NECTAR that reduces motion transfer, and has a cooling Tencel cover so you'll never sleep hot, some of the size-related issues diminish.
Most people will say that a Double bed is too small for a couple unless you like to sleep very close together. Being in a bed that is too small and feeling your partner toss and turn, or feeling crammed into bed won't be fun for anyone. However, when you have a mattress like NECTAR that reduces motion transfer, and has a cooling Tencel cover so you'll never sleep hot, some of the size-related issues diminish.
A Full sized bed is big enough for two people, but it is not recommended for couples. A Full sized bed is ideal for a child, and a parent reading a bedtime story, or a person and their pet – but not two adults who need room to move around at night or have different sleeping positions.
The largest bed manufactured is a California King. At 72 inches wide by 84 inches long, the California king mattress is 4 inches narrower than a king size mattress, but it is 4 inches longer.
Contrary to popular belief, two regular Twins do NOT equal a King. In fact two Twin XL equal a King and can be a good option for someone using two Twin XL in a guest room that they can also push together. Two regular Twin mattress are the same width but shorter in length than a King by 5 inches.
No, you can not use a Queen bed on a Full frame as it will not fit. A Queen is larger than a Full, so you need a Queen frame for a Queen mattress. It's best to always match up your mattress, frame, and sheet sizes for your best night's rest.
For two Twin beds pushed together, you are going to be hard pressed to find sheets that fit. A standard Twin bed is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long; a standard King bed is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. However, if you use Twin XL beds, you can push them together and use King sized sheets.
A standard Twin bed is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long; a standard King bed is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. Therefore two Twin beds are not quite equal to a standard king bed. However, two Twin XL are equal to a King.
A good mattress should be 11 to 15 inches thick. Depending on the combination of foams, coils, latex, and covers, mattresses will vary in size. The thickness can affect how comfortable a mattress is, and NECTAR mattress has found that the ideal thickness is 11 inches in order to be comfortable, soft, and supportive. We use multiple layers of premium contouring foams to build the most comfortable mattress. We found that a great mattress should be at least 11 inches thick, with luxury mattresses usually being 15 inches.
The best mattresses are normally 11 to 15 inches thick. Depending on the combination of foams, coils, latex, and covers, mattresses will vary in height, but you want to look for something in the range of 11-15 inches for optimal comfort. The thickness can affect how comfortable your bed is, and NECTAR mattress has found that the ideal thickness is 11 inches in order to be comfortable, soft, and supportive. We use multiple layers of premium contouring foams to build the most comfortable mattress. We found that a great mattress should be at least 11 inches thick, with luxury mattresses usually being 15 inches.
The average bed height is normally found to be about 25 inches. This is so your feet can reach the floor when you're seated on the edge of the mattress. You can find a higher antique bed, about 36 inches off the floor, or a more contemporary, modern platform bed which is lower, around 18 inches. While it is personal preference, you want to be able to get in and out of bed with ease.

Updated by the P.O.W. NETWORK in 1998. Other Personnel in Incident: Michael W. McAndrews; Gary P. Booth (missing) REMARKS: A/C BROKE UP - SAR NEG - J SYNOPSIS: On December 23, 1970, WO1 Michael W. McAndrews, aircraft commander; WO1 Bain W. Wiseman, pilot; and SP4 Gary P. Booth, crew chief, were flying a U1A "Otter" aircraft (tail number 55-3298), call sign Reliable 298, on a courier mission over South Vietnam. At 1845 hours, trained observers on the ground reported seeing an aircraft, later determined to be Reliable 298, break up in mid-air about 10 miles south of Tuy Hoa Air Base. Information indicates that Reliable 298 may have been on fire at the time it broke up. The observers reported that the aircraft broke into two parts, and that these parts crashed in the vicinity. U.S. Army helicopters arrived shortly after the incident and began an unsuccessful search for survivors. Aerial searches the next day were supplimented by ground searches along the nearby beaches. While parts of the aircraft and individual flight equipment were found along the beach, no trace was found of survivors. It was the opinion of the U.S. Army that the crew of Reliable 298 died when it went down on December 23, 1970. Because no remains were found, all the crew was listed among the nearly 2500 Americans missing from the Vietnam war. For others who are missing, determination of death is not possible. Some of the missing were last seen being led away by enemy troops. A few wrote home from POW camps, but were not released at the end of the war. Others were in radio contact with search and rescue teams and advised them of their imminent capture. Since the war ended, thousands of reports have accumulated indicating that hundreds of Americans are still alive, captives of our long-ago enemy. While the crew of Reliable 298 may not be among them, their deaths have little meaning until this war is completely ended - and all Americans come home.

Too bad he's cold and distant.
He acts like he doesn't know who I am.

Daniel Ricciardo is clearly already enjoying the freedom afforded to him outside of the Red Bull system.
The Australian will make his race debut for Renault this weekend and ahead of his home race in Melbourne has unveiled his new helmet design for the upcoming campaign. And it's quite something, too.
Designed by Australian artist Nicolai Sclater, who works under the name Ornamental Conifer, the striking pink, blue and green design wods "stop being them" on one side and Ricciardo's number three on the other. While Red Bull drivers are required to give a significant amount of the space on their helmet to the company's branding, the only team logo on this version is on the visor.
The message of going against the grain is in line with Ricciardo's move, which he committed to mid-way through last season -- the decision surprised many in the paddock and has been viewed by some as a step backwards due to Renault's position below Red Bull in the pecking order, although the Australian driver says he has a belief in the team's long-term ambitions to return to championship glory.
Speaking about the design ahead of this week's reveal, Ricciardo said: "I am trying to get away from the typical helmet these days, so it should be funky. It is kind of artistic in a modern way."
The design is unique to most in motor racing because the colours and lines are not symmetrical on either side, with the pink segment covering the top right of Ricciardo's head and the rest of the available space carved into black, blue and green segments.
Ricciardo has posted to his Instagram encouraging others not to conform to other people's expectations.
ESPN will show live coverage of the 2019 Formula One season in the United States this year.
The schedule for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix is as follows (all times Eastern):

Shuttle Endeavour and ISS – visible tonight Tuesday 16th
Conditions tonight are not great for looking for the Shuttle Endeavour which is still docked with the International Space Station. We are looking at mostly cloudy conditions around the time the Endeavour / ISS orbits over Sydney, but with a little luck you might see them if the clouds are kind to us.
The picture to the left shows where you will see the shuttle and ISS at 8:47pm tonight. Yesterday the two of them pretty much flew directly overhead, however tonight they will be seen to the south of Sydney and will not go more than 20 degrees above the horizon before heading towards the eastern horizon.
The shuttle and Endeavour will appear over the south west horizon at 8:42 pm and disappear in the east at 8:50pm.
If you get a chance to see them tonight, you will notice that they are brighter than they were yesterday and will tonight have a magnitude of around -1.4.
If you miss them tonight, they will be back tomorrow night which promises to be clear sky and they will be much brighter with a magnitude of -3.4

The Alfred State men's basketball team fell behind early and spent the rest of the game trying to rally. The Pioneers cut the lead to two in the final minute but couldn't complete the comeback and fell 98-93 at Buffalo State on Wednesday evening.
The Bengals jumped out to a 22-9 lead in the first 5:47 of the game. The blue & gold spent the rest of the 1st half cutting into the lead and trailed by just three, 38-35, with just under five minutes left but trailed 48-40 at the half.
Buffalo State started off the 2nd half on a run and pushed their lead to as big as 21 points, 67-46, with 15 minutes remaining in the game. The Pioneers answered right back with a 11-0 run to get right back in the game. With 6:35 remaining, ASC trailed 84-70 and started their final push. With 1:02 remaining, Tahaij Lewis (Rochester/Greece Olympia) hit two foul shots to make it 92-90. Yosh Bernardez hit two foul shots and then after a Pioneer turnover Bernardez hit two more foul shots to push the lead back to six. Juwan Toliver (Buffalo/McKinley) hit two foul shots to cut it to four, 96-92 with 42 seconds left but the blue & gold would not get any closer.
Lewis had a monster game for the Pioneers. He finished with 21 points, 19 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Toliver finished with 16, Owen Spencer (Perry) had 15 points and eight assists, Dante Jordan (New York/Law & Public Service) came off the bench and had 15, and Kevin Goode (Rochester/Bishop Kearney) had 14.
The Pioneers were 32 for 71 from the field (45.1%), 10 for 22 from three (45.5%) and 19 for 23 from the foul line (82.6%). The Pioneers were slowed down by 17 turnovers.
Sheldon Adams hit five of the Bengals 15 three-pointers and led the team with 22 points. Dom Grayer finished with 15, Zak Ciezki came off the bench and had 13, and Bernardez added 10.
Buffalo State (2-2) was 30 for 70 from the field (42.9%), 15 for 30 from three (50%), and 23 for 27 from the line (85.2%).
The Pioneers head to New York City this weekend for a pair of games. They take on NYU on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Medgar Evers on Sunday at 4 p.m.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Can investors afford to go against the grain in the this volatile stock market? Jim Cramer asked on Mad Money Thursday. His answer? Don't expect big gains before first feeling a lot more pain.
Cramer said the industrials are the perfect example of his thesis. The industrials were soaring along earlier this year under the premise that the world was returning to normal and any chance of a recession was long behind us. But in recent weeks and months that thesis changed as earnings turned negative, China appeared to stall and now Europe could easily slip back into recession thanks to Russian sanctions.
Should investors take the contrarian view and buy into this weakness? Cramer said the selling in this group has only just begun because the analysts have yet to throw in the towel and lower their estimates. He wouldn't be a buyer until that happens.
The same applies to the oil companies, which should be going up amid global tensions. Instead, oil has been heading lower as the U.S. dollar strengthens. This trend is not your friend, Cramer noted.
Whether its the industrials, the oils or the airlines, just about every sector has negatives that have yet to play out, Cramer concluded. Until the analysts can't take the pressure and begin their downgrades, Cramer said he would continue to sit on the sidelines.
Executive Decision: Tim Taft
For his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Tim Taft, president and CEO of Fiesta Restaurant Group(FRGI) - Get Report, the Mexican restaurant chain that just posted a penny-a-share earnings beat on a 6.7% rise in same-store revenue. Shares of Fiesta are up 5% since Cramer first mentioned the stock on July 16.
Taft called his company a "well-kept secret" to many investors. That will change over time as Fiesta continues to grow and put up great numbers every quarter.
Taft noted that some of the Miami restaurants are serving 500 cars a day through their drive-thru windows alone. Thanks to eliminating cumbersome products from their menus, their kitchens continue to streamline their operations.
When asked about the growing trend towards Mexican food, Taft said Hispanics continue to be be fastest-growing demographic in America. Beyond that, there are lots of strong regional players that are all attracting customers of all ethnic groups.
Taft said he's confident Fiesta Group will eventually become a national player, but for the time being, it is proving it can expand outside of its home turf of Florida and is currently doing so in Texas.
Cramer called Fiesta Restaurant Group a very exciting story.
Angry Investors
Are investors right to be angry with the management of Walgreen (WAG) , Allergan(AGN) - Get Report and Time Warner (TWX) for recently making decisions that sent their shares plummeting? Cramer told viewers the answer depends on whether you're investing for the long term or the short term.
Cramer explained that Walgreen opted not to move its tax status overseas, even though it's perfectly legal for it to do so, because the company didn't want to become the poster child for negative financial engineering. Meanwhile, Allergan's management rejected a hostile takeover bid because it felt that over the long term the company is better off going it alone. The same applies to Time Warner, he continued.
All three CEOs believe their decisions are right for their company over the long term, even if that means shareholders must endure some pain in the short term. But in all three cases, shares ran up in anticipation of the events. If you didn't take profits when you had them, well, that's on you, Cramer concluded, and not on management. You can't blame management for doing what's right over the long term.
ChartWeek: J.C. Penney, Deckers, Michael Kors
For the next installment of "Chart Week," Cramer checked in with colleague Dan Fitzpatrick to discuss the charts of J.C. Penney(JCP) - Get Report, Deckers(DECK) - Get Report and Michael Kors (KORS) .
Fitzpatrick said Penney's daily chart shows the stock trading in a tight range for months, making new lows but on lighter and lighter volume. The stock's weekly chart displays a reverse-head-and-shoulders formation, which is bullish, leading him to recommend building a position now.
Fitzpatrick also liked the chart of Deckers, noting the daily chart with a cup-and-handle formation, close to its 50- and 200-day moving averages. With the stock drifting higher, Fitzpatrick said he was bullish on Deckers.
Fitzpatrick was not as optimistic on Michael Kors, however, as the stock has been responding to good news with lighter and lighter volume, indicating that shares are quickly running out of steam and are poised for a correction.
Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Magnum Hunter Resources (MHR) , Walt Disney(DIS) - Get Report, SunEdison (SUNE) , First Solar(FSLR) - Get Report and SolarCity (SCTY) .
Cramer was bearish on American Airlines(AAL) - Get Report, Basic Energy Services(BAS) - Get Report, World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) - Get Report and Prospect Capital(PSEC) - Get Report.
Executive Decision: Alan Trefler
In his second "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer also sat down with Alan Trefler, chairman and CEO of Pegasystems(PEGA) - Get Report, a business process management software company that trades at just 24 times earnings with a 28% long-term growth rate. Pegasystems just announced a three-cents-a-share earnings miss,
Trefler said that Pegasystems helps companies become more customer-centric and process-centric by streamlining operations. It helps compile data from multiple sources and allows sales teams to execute orders faster and get those orders to fulfillment faster.
When asked about the volatility of Pegasystems' stock, Trefler noted his company sells services on both subscription and perpetual licensing. While it is very transparent about what's going on inside the company, revenue recognition requirements don't always match up with analysts' expectations.
Trefler noted that over 70% of Pegasystems' revenue comes from existing customers, a testament to how happy customers are with Pegasystems.

You need an auto mechanic to look at your transmission if your gears are grinding.
You've been hearing it for awhile - a grinding sound when you change gears. But, you've been ignoring it, hoping it wasn't something serious or would go away by itself. But, now, with Halloween on the horizon, you've decided to do something about that noise. After all, how do you tour haunted places in New Orleans and sneak up on ghosts and goblins if your car is making that horrible sound?
A grinding noise when changing gears is a common indication of transmission trouble, according to nhdtz.com. Not fixing it can lead to complete transmission failure. The best thing to do, according to the folks at Twin Tire and Auto Care, is to maintain your transmission with their Valvoline transmission service, which, among other things, removes harmful deposits and injects clean fluid into the system.

Thirty years of elevation change on Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves from multimission satellite radar altimetry

|We use data acquired between 1978 and 2008 by four satellite radar altimeter missions (Seasat, ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat) to determine multidecadal elevation change rates (dhi/dt) for six major Antarctic Peninsula (AP) ice shelves. In areas covered by the Seasat orbit (to 72.16°S), regional-averaged 30-year trends were negative (surface lowering), with rates between −0.03 and −0.16 m a−1. Surface lowering preceded the start of near-continuous radar altimeter operations that began with ERS-1 in 1992. The average rate of lowering for the first 14 years of the period was typically smaller than the 30-year average; the exception was the southern Wilkins Ice Shelf, which experienced negligible lowering between 2000 and 2008, when a series of large calving events began. Analyses of the continuous ERS/Envisat time series (to 81.5°) for 1992–2008 reveal a period of strong negative dhi/dt on most ice shelves between 1992 and 1995. Based on prior studies of regional atmospheric and oceanic conditions, we hypothesize that the observed elevation changes on Larsen C Ice Shelf are driven primarily by firn compaction while the western AP ice shelves are responding to changes in both surface mass balance and basal melt rates. Our time series also show that large changes in dhi/dt can occur on interannual time scales, reinforcing the importance of long time series altimetry to separate long-term trends associated with climate change from interannual to interdecadal natural variability.

(Crain's) -- The new top executive of Chicago's largest group of commercial landlords wants to see the organization fight back against property tax and other fee increases that he worries could drive businesses out of the city.
Fighting taxes a priority for new BOMA head
"Bottom line is we're concerned about Chicago remaining a viable place to do business," says Michael F. Cornicelli, the new executive vice-president of the Building Owners and Managers Assn. of Chicago. "We don't want to see Chicago turn into a bedroom community or a resort community like Aspen, where no one can afford to live."
Mr. Cornicelli, a lawyer, will assume his new position Dec. 1, after six years as BOMA's director of government affairs.
Higher taxes is just one challenge facing the organization with a membership that includes the managers and owners of 268 downtown buildings totaling 112 million square feet. Under Mr. Cornicelli, BOMA also plans to take a more vigorous stance against future utility rate increases, already a major expenditure for commercial landlords.
"We're facing the perfect storm of fees and taxes on the city, county and state level," says Mr. Cornicelli, a Galewood neighborhood resident. "I've never seen anything like this. The burden of these taxes just keeps increasing every year."
Mr. Cornicelli's promotion marks an important shift of direction for a 105-year-old organization that has traditionally been more concerned about the cost of plumbing supplies than public policy advocacy.
Signs of the change were evident more than a year ago, when the group released a study showing that downtown Chicago office landlords pay higher taxes than their counterparts in other major cities. And while BOMA has in the past lobbied City Hall on issues such as retrofitting buildings with sprinklers, Mr. Cornicelli, 56, faces the difficult challenge of persuading local governments to ease up on their dependence on high commercial property taxes.
While landlords typically pass on higher taxes and utility costs to their tenants, Mr. Cornicelli says companies may get fed up with the continual increases and leave the city, resulting in fewer jobs and empty offices.
"Good organizations evolve over time to reflect current circumstances," says Stephen Morrill, a Chicago attorney and lobbyist who has represented BOMA. "The current circumstances are pushing BOMA into being a more active presence."
"He's the total package for what's needed at this juncture," Mr. Morrill says of Mr. Cornicelli.
As executive vice-president, Mr. Cornicelli replaces Ron Vukas, who is retiring. Both executives joined BOMA at about the same time in 2001. Mr. Vukas had been an executive vice-president with the Institute of Real Estate Management, a national trade group for property managers. Mr. Cornicelli had his own consulting practice, advising clients, mostly charters schools, on improving their business management and accounting systems.
Prior to that, Mr. Cornicelli was senior director with FPL Advisory Group LLC, a Chicago-based real estate consulting firm, from 1996 to 1999.
Mr. Cornicelli, a native of Warren, Ohio, graduated from Miami University in 1973 and moved to the Chicago area to attend law school at Northwestern University.
His first job was with a law firm headed by Jacob Arvey, a powerful political powerbroker and former Cook County Democratic Party Chairman. While the experience may have given Mr. Cornicelli a taste of politics, he instead found himself drawn to the firm's commercial real estate division.
Mr. Cornicelli later pursued his interest in real estate during stints as senior counsel at Chicago-based JMB Realty Corp. and as general counsel at the Sam Zell-headed First Capital Financial Corp., which has since folded.
He might have foregone law school to become a developer, except Mr. Cornicelli laughingly said he didn't "have the tolerance for risk."
As BOMA's executive vice-president, Mr. Cornicelli will oversee a staff of seven people and an annual budget of about $2.7 million. Under his leadership, the group will also strive to raise awareness on other issues like security and fire safety, and building codes, and expand its outreach efforts to attract more women and minorities to the industry.
"Education is still a part of our charter," says Charles Wagener, president with BOMA/Chicago, and a former executive with Equity Office Properties Trust. "But we realize that we need to be advocates for our membership."

ZnO nanoparticles, Thermoluminescence, Defects
ZnO nanoparticles doped with aluminium (AZO nanoparticles) were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) and structural characterization experiments. Structural properties were studied using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy experiments. The crystal structure of the AZO nanoparticles was found as hexagonal. XRD diffraction pattern did not present any peak related with doped element. This indicated that doping was successfully carried out. Scanning electron microscopy measurements presented the surface morphology of the nanoparticles and dimensions of nanoparticles were recorded around 100 nm.Low temperature TL experiments were performed on AZO nanoparticles in the temperature range of 10-300 K. TL curve presented one intensive peak around 123 K and two overlapped peaks to intensive peak around 85 K and 150 K. Curve fitting, initial rise, peak shape and different heating rate methods were used to find the activation energies of associated trapping centers. Analyses resulted in the presence of three centers at 44, 76 and 165 meV with peak maximum temperatures of 86.2, 121.5 and 147.1 K, respectively. Peak shape method analyses indicated that μg parameter for observed peaks were between 0.42 and 0.52 indicating the presence of general order of kinetics. TL experiments were alsoivexpanded using different heating rates between 0.1 K/s and 0.7 K/s. Activation energies of trapping centers were obtained using heating rate dependency of peak maximum temperature.Keywords:

Last year I went on a few trips that were a couple days longer than weekend trips. As I camp so often, I try and make 3 and 4 day weekends with my vacation time, instead of taking an entire week or two off at once. That way I can enjoy being outdoors much more, in my opinion. One of these trips was a 4 day, 3 night trip to the French River, somewhere I'd always wanted to go. This trip would only have one very small 190m portage, and therefore I would take my larger kayak of the two I own, my Delta 15s. The trip got cut short and ended up being 4 days and 3 nights due to high winds, but originally I did pack for a 5 day, 4 night trip.
As many people have asked me the last few years about packing for a trip, I filmed the entire process of packing everything at home, then putting it into bags that would then be shown being packed into the kayak. This post, is about that process and to show what I take on a 5 day kayak camping trip with little to no portages.
Just a note that the packing I did for this trip is very different from the packing I would do for a similar trip by canoe in many ways. I also had the luxury of bringing many things I wouldn't normally bring on trip, as the items would only go into my kayak and mostly stay there and wouldn't have to be carried on land except to where my tent would be set up etc.
This has been a post I've been wanting to write for quite some time and as mentioned, I've had a lot of requests for this. In my opinion, the video is a bit easier to follow, however, I wanted to also write a blog post for those of you that prefer reading the posts instead of watching them on video. Let's get started!
This trip would be taken in August, 2017. The forecast was warm but very very wet. We actually had a tornado warning when I was out the first day, but had no idea it was in effect. I have quite a few items of camping clothing that I just use for every trip which makes packing easy. I generally try to pack a lot of underlayers, like a tank top for each day and then 2 long sleeves (in case one gets wet) a warm fleece, a warmer fleece and a rain jacket.
For the bottom layers for this trip I had 3 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of sleeping shorts (no food scent), one pair of sleeping tights (no food scent), two pairs of pants and a pair of rain pants. In addition I pack several pairs of underwear, one sports bra (one is worn in), a few pairs of socks and one or two bathing suits. I always pack a hat as they are priceless when it rains and also good to keep the sun off a burnt face or keep a face from getting burnt.
All of these items are then packed into a dry bag with the exception of a few things. My thick fleece and thinner fleece usually get packed in their own ziploc bags. This is so that I can easily take them out and ensure they stay dry no matter what. It is also convenient for the morning or evening to be able to keep one of them separate from my clothes bag, in a day hatch or behind my seat in case i need it avoiding unpacking my entire clothes bag which is generally buried in a hatch. I also always keep my rain coat and rain pants in their own bag, also easily accessible if the weather turns.
There is nothing worse than being caught in a downpour and having rain gear with you, but buried in a hatch that you are not able to get to. For this reason, I keep them separate and accessible along with my hat and whatever other item I may need during the travelling part of my day. This usually includes a thin long sleeve or bug shirt to protect me from bugs, scratchy branches if I have to portage, sun burns, cool air. etc etc. The rest gets packed in the dry bag and it's put with the other gear.
Once the clothing is packed I move on to the other items. For this trip, I laid out all my gear for the entire four days on my dining room table. Again, just a note that I have only one 100m portage on this trip and have no need to pack lightly so some of the gear is not something I would take, let's say, on a canoe trip where I'd be doing 6 portages in a day.
I do my best to separate my food into categories. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, seasonings and other smelly items that may not necessarily be food such as sunscreen and bug spray. On the photo on the top left I have my breakfasts. A few packages of oatmeal with some dehydrated apples and strawberries, 2 different types of scones for one breakfast each, an english muffin, 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bacon for one lovely breakfast of an bacon egg muffin sandwich.
The photo above shows my snacks for the 4 days. Yes, there are a lot and I believe in doing my best to eat every few hours during the day and spread out my energy. I also have colitis so my snacks are not always the most nutritional as many of those items have a large amount of fiber, so I try and mix it up a bit. I have 2 granola bars, another one will go in my pocket on the morning of take off. There are chocolate covered almonds, a bar of chocolate, a few chocolate chip cookies, some dehydrated apples, corn chips and a few baby snickers for a quick pick me up.
Above on the left I have my drinks, a bottle of berry mio and a few shots of coconut rum in the vitamin bottle. I also bring a bag of teas in case I need to be warmed up, just a few varieties and a few sleepy time teas for at night. Next to the teas are Off wipes which are great in leui of heavy bottles of liquid bug spray. They are like moist towelettes soaked in bug spray and I find they work quite well.
In the photo directly above I have a bottle of sunscreen (tylenol bottle) and a nalgene bottle with some biodegradable soap along with a small salt shaker. I don't eat pepper so I just put salt in both sides.
I also keep my toiletries in the bear vault with the food as some items are scented. In my personal hygiene ziploc I carry unscented deodorant, a very small container of clinique face lotion, a travel toothbrush, a travel sized toothpaste and some dental floss.
The above photos show my lunches for the 4 days. There are wraps, laughing cow cheese that I use in lieu of mayonnaise, one vacuum packages of salami, one vacuum package of proscuitto, a piece of kielbasa, some old cheddar cheese wrapped in cheese cloth and some crackers which I put an elastic band on in each direction to help keep them from breaking, which surprisingly, they did not.
For one dinner I have 2 noodle nests for a pasta that I make with dehydrated morel mushrooms, dehydrated asparagus and butter. For the first night I have a frozen steak and asparagus that will go just go into my day hatch wrapped in ice and newspaper. For the third dinner, I have peameal bacon, marinated in maple syrup and mustard and then frozen and a bun which I planned to cut into slices of bread to make 2 sandwiches with. You can see the peameal bacon meal here and the morel mushroom pasta meal here if you are interested.
As I had at this time, been taught to clean a fish on my own and was bringing fishing gear with me on this trip, I also had my emergency fish meal kit coming with me. This included a ziploc bag of fish crisp inside a larger bag that I could use to put the fish into and coat the fish in, some olive oil for one of my other meals and also backup oil to fry the fish in. This kit also includes a half a package of mashed potato mix that just needs boiling water added to make a full meal. Just in case. 🙂 (I did end up catching, cleaning and cooking a pike on this trip and you can see that video here if interested!).
All of the items food related and scented get stacked into my bear vault in order of use with the food that I need first at the top and the meals I will eat last at the very bottom.
Some other gear that I will require for my trip is above and will get packed into tote bags from here. On the top right, my tarp as I was expecting a lot of rain, (there was actually a rain warning in place for up to 50mm), my thermarest mat, my tent and poles and my sleeping bag, rated -9 as I get very cold at night and would rather be comfortable than cold.
The tote bag above includes items that are for my kayak and will go on the decks or behind my seat. It includes my deck compass, my billage pump, my paddle float, which will double as my pillow at night (super comfy with a t shirt over it) and my tow rope, which also doubles as my emergency rope required for my kayak.
The thin tote bag above carries some gear that I am always grateful for on trip. There are a few plastic cutting boards which I use for a huge variety of things. They are great for preparing food on, sitting on when the ground is wet and fanning the fire are just a few of the uses. In the thin tote bag, I also keep a small light grill in case I want, or need to cook on the fire and a few sheets of foil because you never know when you might need foil and it is extremely small and light to pack. When I canoe camp, this bag fits nicely in the back of the pack and takes up next to no space.
Some other needed gear above that I take is my Sven Saw , my fishing knife that my dad gave me on our daddy/daughter fishing weekend, my Moriknav knife that I use for batoning wood and as an extra backup knife and a small plastic shovel in case a privy may not be available. These items would get packed in the tote bag where I keep my pot set and kitchen items.
Other items include my Beacon which is an emergency device in case something happens to me. I file a trip report with them before each trip to let them know where I plan to be, using what type of equipment etc, so the can locate me if I press that help button. My headlamp, but shirt, and whistle which I always wear around my neck to use as a signalling device, again, in case of emergency. To the right there are 2 of the 3 chargers I brought on this trip. They are used to charge my iphone 7 which I use for everything on trip, including making videos and taking photos and also to charge my gopro. Also above the white charger is my new gopro which did not survive the trip unfortunately and is now in the bottom of Georgian Bay. I wasn't really that fond of it anyways.
Above is my emergency backup camera which is waterproof. I use it for taking underwater photos and also in case something, heaven forbid, happens to my iphone. Beside that is a compass and my first aid kit and some waterproof matches.
I did not unpack my cook set when filming the video that goes with this post. The pot set is from Woods Canada which I got at Canadian Tire and so far it has been good to me. It contains a frying pan and 2 pots, 2 cups, my backcountry stove from Primus which is awesome and has been with me since 2002. A small bottle of Purinize drops to use as a backup in case my filter has any issues or if I'm out and just need to treat some water on the go, a dish towel, a few bandannas which come in handy for many things, a j-cloth which will be relocated into the bear vault once used and some extra ziploc bags. In the small bag to the left of the kit is my utensils, a spatula, fork, knife and spoon and also the pot handles.
Pictured above is my Katadyn gravity water filter, which I absolutely love and holds 10 liters of water. The last trip I took it on, it spring a small leak which I repaired easily with duct tape, hence the bottle of Purinize I was also taking as backup.
Above is my collapsible fishing rod I purchased many many years ago at Canadian Tire which is awesome. It shrinks down to a very small size making it easy to have on trips with me. To the left of that is a pair of needle nose pliers in a ziploc bag and below that is my small fishing kit containing lures, hooks and my fishing license. That pretty much covers all the gear for this trip.
What I do next is pack everything into certain bags so I know what is where. The pot set goes into a red cinch bag I have and also inside of that I put all the sharp items such as my knives, shovel, tent pegs and saw.
The clear drybag pictured above is used for what I call my camping purse. This contains all my main essentials that I may need at a moments notice and I keep it handy in my kayak so I can always access it if need be. Inside of it I pack my toilet paper, (at least one roll), my portable charges and cables, my cameras, compass, first aid kit, my beacon and my bug shirt was put in here as I wanted it somewhere handy where I knew I could easily grab it.
My sleeping bag first gets packed in a plastic bag, then in it's carry bag. It then gets squished into a tote bag with the other soft squishy items such as my Therm-a-rest NeoAir Trekker , my Aquaquest sil tarp, my water filter, 2 cans of fuel and my rain gear.
In the next tote bag I put my clothes bag in, my green flat tote bag which holds the grill, foil and cutting boards and my tent poles.
In the next tote bag I pack my kitchen bag with all the pots, pans etc and all the other items I packed into the red cinch bag, my tent and my fishing gear which I put into a plastic bag that will go behind my seat in my kayak for easy access and use.
The last bag contains the items I will put on my kayak decks, my compass, pump and paddle float along with my tow rope that will go behind my seat. Along with those items I pack my camping purse and the bear vault.
And that is all the bags for my trip. There are 4 tote bags and I can easily sling 2 bags on each shoulder to carry them from the car to the boat and back and on the small portage I have on this trip which is less than 200m.
From here I will take these bags to the car and then load the items from the bags into the kayak when the kayak is in the water and ready to pack just before I take off for my adventure. In the video that goes with this post, I actually show myself packing the items from each tote bag into the hatches. Check my youtube channel to see that video if you're curious to see more.
I apologize for the photos in this post as they were mostly taken from the videos I made for the youtube video on this topic. I had not originally intended on doing a blog post along with the video, but in hindsight I decided it would be a good idea to be able to explain things a bit more and put some links in the post to some of the gear that I use regularly.
If you have any questions or comments or just want to say hi, please leave a message. I hope you enjoyed this post.
Happy Packing!
Camper Christina

Terra Earth Science Mission Ready for Launch Dec. 16
The launch of NASA's Earth-observing Terra satellite, bearing state-of-the-art instruments to study interactions between the land, atmosphere, ocean and life on the planet, is set for Thursday, Dec. 16 from Space Launch Complex 3 East at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. aboard a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS rocket. The launch window is 25 minutes in duration extending from 10:33 to 10:58 a.m. PST (1:33 to 1:58 p.m. EST).
Terra, managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., is the NASA flagship mission in a new series of spacecraft dedicated to the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Terra carries five sophisticated sets of instruments with measurement and accuracy capabilities never before flown. See http://eos-am.gsfc.nasa.gov for details on the mission.
Terra takes a global approach to data collection that will enable scientists to study the interaction among the four spheres of the Earth system -- the oceans, lands, atmosphere and biosphere. Long-term weather and climate prediction requires the collection of better data over longer periods to understand the links between these spheres.
Among the instruments are two managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.:
- The JPL-built Multi-angle Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MISR) will improve our understanding of the Earth's ecology and climate by studying how changes in the amounts, types, and distribution of clouds, airborne particulates, and surface covers can affect our climate. For more information, go to http://www-misr.jpl.nasa.gov .
- The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and reflection Radiometer (ASTER), a joint U.S.-Japanese instrument, will produce detailed global, regional and local image maps of land surface temperature, reflectance and elevation and other characteristics. ASTER is the only high-spatial-resolution instrument on Terra, and the instrument's ability to serve as a "zoom lens" for the other instruments will be particularly important for land studies, detecting surface changes, and for calibrating instruments. See http://asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov for more information.
JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.

Countless Americans play Fantasy Sports, but this is ridiculous.
In the imaginary world that Ted Cruz apparently now resides, the mathematically eliminated presidential hopeful let the world know this week that his running mate is his former GOP presidential opponent Carly Fiorina. Usually, candidates unveil their pick for veep after they have secured their party's nomination. At the very least, they wait until 'perceived nominee' status is cast upon them—but not Cruz. The Texas Senator has tabbed Fiorina despite the fact that Cruz is a distant second behind Republican front runner Donald Trump and fresh off of losing five states to Trump in a single night. He is down three games to none and trailing big late in Game 4. It's over. But Cruz hopes to somehow undo this reality.
This move is beyond a head scratcher. It's a grand waste of time. The Philadelphia Phillies naming their starter for Game 1 of the World Series would make more sense than this Cruz-Fiorina imagination amalgamation. The Tennessee Titans game planning for the Super Bowl would be less reckless than this pathetic effort to somehow get back in the news cycle.
Perhaps former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin put it best. Palin swatted Cruz on Facebook, writing, "It's smarter to actually put the ball through the HOOP before you claim victory." Palin included some great vintage photos of her basketball playing days. The state champion hoopster knows a thing or two about what it takes to win.
Hours later Palin praised a basketball icon for his endorsement of Mr. Trump.
'Bobby Knight Endorses Trump! Coach Knight knows what it takes! This means a lot to Americans who really want to win again. Thank you, Coach Knight. You've always been a courageous one. And thank you, Hoosiers! And all the other states who slam dunked it for FREEDOM last night! Your good judgement in trusting the Trump Movement with your vote is so incredibly encouraging! Gives us faith in the oncoming Great Awakening many of us recognize and appreciate, where the GOP Machine shall deservedly be dismantled while eradicating the stupidity of the failed Liberals' agenda via votes representing the will of the people. Americans are sick and tired of the corrupt Establishment's status quo, so kudos to you: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania for last night's victories. The Trump Movement will not disappoint.
We need a revolution; we've found our revolutionary for America to win. Our candidate has the will to win. More importantly, as proven by his unmatched work ethic and record of success, Donald Trump has the "will to prepare to win…"'
So, while Cruz plays Fantasy Politics and John Kasich does God knows what with all sorts of cuisine, those who are serious about making America great again are focused on doing what it takes to win the White House fair and square. Palin, Trump, and Knight. Now, that's a Big Three for the ages.

The secretary of state said that if Israel doesn't make peace soon, it could become 'an apartheid state,' like the old South Africa. Jewish leaders are fuming over the comparison.
If there's no two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict soon, Israel risks becoming "an apartheid state," Secretary of State John Kerry told a room of influential world leaders in a closed-door meeting Friday.
Senior American officials have rarely, if ever, used the term "apartheid" in reference to Israel, and President Obama has previously rejected the idea that the word should apply to Jewish State. Kerry's use of the loaded term is already rankling Jewish leaders in America—and it could attract unwanted attention in Israel, as well.
It wasn't the only controversial comment on the Middle East that Kerry made during his remarks to the Trilateral Commission, a recording of which was obtained by The Daily Beast. Kerry also repeated his warning that a failure of Middle East peace talks could lead to a resumption of Palestinian violence against Israeli citizens. He suggested that a change in either the Israeli or Palestinian leadership could make achieving a peace deal more feasible. He lashed out against Israeli settlement-building. And Kerry said that both Israeli and Palestinian leaders share the blame for the current impasse in the talks.
Kerry also said that at some point, he might unveil his own peace deal and tell both sides to "take it or leave it."

If you have been following our blogs then you would recall that we emphasized the role of stress on our appearance and health! New Year is here and you would all be making resolutions to change your life. VIBHAlife brings to you 10 rules which you should incorporate in your daily routine as a New Year resolution to look healthy, be healthy and feel healthy!
Meditate to relax
Cited as one of the most simple and efficient ways to reduce stress, meditation involves a simple technique which helps you in controlling stress, decrease anxiety, improve the cardiovascular health and inculcate the ability to relax in a better way. Meditation relaxes your muscles and harmonizes the breathing, pulse, blood pressure and metabolism thereby producing an overall positive effect on the tension of the mind and the body.
Practice Yoga
Practice yoga for a healthy stress free life. Impatience, anxiety, insomnia are all linked to high stress levels. The Asanas used in Yoga are beneficial and helpful in alleviating nervous energy and relaxing for your mind and body. The breathing patterns are also related with stress levels. Deep breathing and lengthening of exhalation can increase the tone in the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce the stress levels.
Inhale for relaxation
The aroma of essential oils has been known to have a relaxing effect on our bodies and mind. Aromatherapy uses different scents to treat your stress, the most commonly used aromas in reducing stress are lavender, geranium, basil or rose essential oils. The essential oils can be used anywhere, in your workplace, at home or in the spa.
Dance away to good health
Yes, you heard me right! Dance or movement therapy is a completely natural way to manage stress. Dance therapies will work with individuals as well as when done in a group. IT is a holistic approach towards taking care of stress since it creates a healthy balance between the mind, body and spirit. It not only improves mobility and muscle coordination but also reduces the tension in the body and creates a self-awareness and self-confidence on an emotional level.
So, starting this year, dance your way to wellness and a stress free life.
Watch what you eat
Eating healthy is one of the cornerstones of a stress free life. There are foods which can reduce your stress levels and keep you healthy. Vitamin B, magnesium, potassium and a healthy balance of proteins and carbohydrates is essential to reduce chronic stress and to maintain a healthy body. /it has been studied that with a balanced meal, your mind will be more focused and balanced, muscles relaxed and the stress will melt away.
Be passionate and dedicated towards your health. There is nothing more important than your health and keeping fit should be the foremost step to reduce stress and lead a healthier life.
Latest research by scientists at Princeton University have found that working out can produce new super brain cells which are known to be more resistant to stressors. In fact exercise or physical activity relaxes you and reduces stress. So, even science now provides evidence to the fact that exercise will help you in reducing stress.
Are you sleeping enough?
Sleep is essential to heal the mind and body and is rejuvenating in nature. Uninterrupted daily sleep for almost 8 to 20 hours is essential to reduce the stress in your life. Make a conscious effort to go to sleep at a reasonable time and follow a sleep routine. A healthy sleep routine provides you a refreshed and rejuvenated body and mind on waking up.
Communicate a lot
Experts have claimed that group therapies and community sessions play a significant role in reducing the stress levels in life. Talking to people who are in the same space gives you an outlet for pent up feelings and frustration and relaxes the mind. Develop healthy and friendly interpersonal relationships to live a stress-free life.
Share positive and pleasant memories with others, put a brake on the depressing and damaging thoughts. Sociologists all over the world claim that recounting stressful events further stress your mind and body.
Embrace happiness
Do not fix an occasion or time for the joy in your life. Choose happiness and take conscious steps to embrace joy in life. Empower yourself to ignore and stay happy. Take out time for those small acts of kindness towards other as research states that it can actually reduce the concentration of stress hormones. Happiness and kindness are two main ingredients forming a positive feedback loop which makes you feel happy, relaxed and stress free. Relish each moment and every bit of joy to get raw enjoyment which can reduce the stress in your life.
Take care of yourself
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing if you want to keep the stress in your life at bay. Live your life, take care of your family, and spend time with them. Indulge yourself in a hobby, do things which are pleasurable for you. Eat well, and always eat on time. Always follow a routine physical work out. Taking good care of yourself goes a long way in creating a healthy balance between your body, mental well-being and emotions

Heyo peeps! Long time no see ( or should I say writing). Weekends have definitely reached the status of #lifegoal XD. Middle of March (yet still surrounded by rain all day every day), here I am sitting with my good ol' green tea, trying to finalize my working papers (welp, not going as fast as I had imagined it). So I thought to myself when in doubt: seek out some inspiration :D
#CONFESSIONINCOMING: This is the first time that I've spent a few days at home in a long long while. And good lord does it feel good :33. So as you can guess, I am definitely feeling the casual pants combo.
Statement shirt underneath, bomber jacket on top and high-top air force sneakers (which btw make you feel as if you're walking on clouds), basically my life atm *_*. Although it may seem like it doesn't offer enough styling space, with the right blouse and shoes, you can achieve the damn gurl look we all want. ;)
Stay tuned for what's more to come, as I return to my full-time commitment to the blog.

To James Madison from William C. C. Claiborne, 16 June 1804 (Abstract)
§ From William C. C. Claiborne
16 June 1804, New Orleans. "I have the Honour to enclose you an estimate of the expense which will attend the support of the Government of the Orleans Territory for one year ensuing the 1st of October next.1
"The Council being appointed by the President, and their ⅌ diem allowance fixed by a Law of Congress, I have supposed their pay would be drawn from the Treasury of the United States; but I presume all incidental expences of the Legislature, such as Clerk hire, printing, Stationary &c &c will be defrayed by the Territory.
"I fear the estimate for the contingent fund will have the appearance of extravagance, but from my personal observations, I am persuaded the expenditures I have enumerated must necessarily be made. In the organization of the Government, dispatches must frequently be forwarded into the interior of Louisiana, and until cross Post Roads are established, private expresses must be resorted to. The Provision for a Private Secretary to the Governor, or, an Assistant Clerk to the Secretary of the Territory, I considered as necessary: It seems to me that the permanent Governor, will have for the first year, more business than himself and the Territorial Secretary can possibly discharge: I at present employ in my Office two Gentlemen the one at the rate of 750$ ⅌ Annum and the other at 600$, but from the high price of Boarding and every thing else in this City, I am sensible, that more Economy than justice has been exercised in the allowance made them; I have therefore mentioned 800$ ⅌ Annum as compensation for a private Secretary to the Governor. With respect to the Charges for Stationary &c I will observe that this expense will not be so great after the first year; I have procured some Office Furniture (at the public expense) which will be transferred to my Successor; but by no means a Sufficiency for the comfortable accomodation of the permanent Governor and Secretary. I have presumed that the apartments in the Governors house, which I now occupy as offices will remain so appropriated, or otherwise the allowance for Office rent must at least be 600$ ⅌ Annum for I believe the use of a convenient office could not be procured for a less sum. The necessity for an Interpreter of the French and Spanish languages you will no doubt readily perceive: The Gentleman I have employed in that character is allowed 60$ ⅌ month, and I do not believe the services of a capable Interpreter could be procured on better Terms."
Letterbook copy and letterbook copy of enclosure (Ms-Ar: Claiborne Executive Journal, vol. 13). Letterbook copy 2 pp.
1. The enclosure (2 pp.; printed in Rowland, Claiborne Letter Books, 2:211–12), "Estimate of the expense attending the support of the Government of the Orleans Territory," tallied expenditures for the civil list, legislature, district court, and contingent expenses, including compensation for a translator, an Indian interpreter, and the governor's private secretary, and amounted to $26,650.

Nathan Snyder, a Boy Scout with Troop 9207, completed his Eagle Scout project. Snyder, a senior at Rosemount High School, considered various options for his project. At first, he was leaning towards a construction project with his school or a nearby park.
His cousin, Sarah Jones, an oncology nurse at Minnesota Oncology in Burnsville, then mentioned to him that the Burnsville Clinic had tie blankets that had been made for patients and donated to the clinic, but they were running low.
Snyder organized five work sessions and trained and managed about 150 volunteers of all ages to volunteers help organize, cut and tie the blankets. Together, the group put in more than 280 hours into the project and made 72 full-size blankets.
"I tried to make patterns that would suit every single person as much as possible - sports, animal, multi-colored," Snyder said. "They are there for comfort."

Military spouses know how to do many things. Many hard things actually. We run households, pay bills, are excellent at organizing and being an uber for our kids. And there is another thing military spouses are learning more and more about: being their own boss. Whether it is a small business being run out of a rented location or from the home office as life chaos swirls around, military spouses are finding flexibility and longevity in making a career they choose.
During tax season, a military spouse with a career may have concerns about filing the proper way to make sure their income does not affect income received by the active duty personnel. Kristen Morgan, a tax professional, gives yet some more vital information to help spouses succeed filing their taxes.
Miltary Spouse Residency Relief Act (MSRRA). Like many things in the military culture, there a lot of unknowns about this bill because it has just recently been available. Of course, as I have said before, ensuring you have useful information so proper decisions can be made for the best tax file. Here are a few quick facts about the MSRRA.
Schedule C. As discussed, military spouses may be building a business. If so, a Schedule C may be needed. With this schedule, filed together with your 1040 tax form, a business owner reports how much money was made or lost in the business during the year. Understanding how to file a schedule C is essential and attending a SCORE workshop could be helpful in knowing what deductions to capitalize on. SCORE is a small business resource and connection to the Small Business Administration and can assist with up to date information and guidance.
Again this is where a tax professional can also be beneficial. Kelly Erb, editorial lead for Bankable by Forbes, is also an excellent source of information.
Lastly, doing the research upfront when starting a business helps in the long run. Honestly, filing taxes and staying up to date with all tax laws and changes is very important. Remember you only have a few months to file, but you have the majority of the year to prepare for them.
