40 Prayers for 40 Days Day 8
Week 2—Thursday
Psalm 139:1-18
God Knows Us!
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD (vv. 1-4).
I have been married to my wife, Amarie, for 43 years. We have been friends for more than 47 years (wow, that makes me feel old). She knows me! She can take one look at me and tell me what kind of day I have had. She knows when I have something serious on my mind. She can sense when all I want to do is "play". Yet, in spite of this, there are times when I will do, or say, something, and she will say, "Who are you? And, what have you done with my husband, Bob?" She knows me, but there are times when I am an absolute mystery even to her. Those are the same times I am a mystery to myself, when I ask myself, "Where in the world did that come from?"
The Psalmist is reflecting, as he prays, on God's knowledge of us, all. He realizes God, the Creator, knows us better than our closest friend, better than our spouse, even better than we know ourselves.
Now, here is something to think about. God knows us, every light and dark corner of our lives. He know us and yet, "How precious to me are your thoughts (concerning me), God! How vast is the sum of them! (v. 17) His thoughts of us, are GOOD!

America's heart problem is now the World's
Heart disease is no longer an American problem
World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on April 7th, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), to call attention to the advancement of health in all people. This year, I sat down with Dr. Brion Winston, who in addition to being a board-certified cardiologist, also has an area of interest in public health. Our discussion began with data from WHO that in 2016, more people died of heart disease than of AIDS/HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis. Heart disease is responsible for one-third of all global deaths.
Why is heart disease exploding in developing countries?
At least three-quarters of the world's deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD), or heart disease, occur in low- and middle-income countries. Heart disease very treatable and preventable if caught early. One factor affecting the poorest people in these places is the lack of detection. Dr. Winston explained how the diagnostic evaluation of heart disease in developing countries would be pretty basic, at best. "You would be able to find electrocardiography in many clinics but remember, in poor and developing nations, the standard of health care delivery is often a fee for service. If someone has a severe health problem, they will show up to the emergency department, often accompanied by their family, they will talk with the doctor and the patient. The doctor will say, 'this is what I think is going on, and this is what it will cost' and there is a fee for service right up front. With that in mind, the choices for diagnostic evaluation may be limited in some places."
"Taking to the later phases of treatment, surgical treatment for heart disease in poorer nations are quite limited, maybe to aspirin, things like catheterization labs – you'll find poorer countries don't have them," stated Dr. Winston. Treatment and procedures of heart disease like balloon angioplasty (where a small balloon-like device is threaded through an artery to open the blockage), coronary artery bypass or valve repair and replacement is costly once heart disease advances. "But, with the example of India, they have many hospitals which have prospered with the economic development over the last 30 years, these sites are considered 'medical tourism' where Americans will travel overseas for heart procedures in India. These are for-profit hospitals that run efficiently, conducting a high volume of surgical procedures. The costs of some of these procedures would be a fraction of what a patient would pay and there are some people willing to travel for this."
Awareness and education are an important component that is missing in developing countries. The most important behavioral risk factors of heart disease and stroke are an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol. Americans are bombarded with public health messages informing us of the increased risks of a poor diet, smoking, and lack of exercise; this is not the case in other parts of the world. "In my practice and taking with my colleagues, many of whom are from South Asia (India and Pakistan), there is a high incidence of heart disease in people from these lands when they come to the US, if they follow a US diet that is high in fat, then we may see development of heart disease even earlier," says Dr. Winston. "Overall, while we have made substantial improvements in reducing smoking in the United States but in South Asia and China, there is still a large amount of that population that still smokes, combine that with a richer diet – that will add to this problem as well."
A "better life" might be a slow killer
Economics is an underlying cause of fostering the bad behavior that leads to heart disease. In some countries, soda is cheaper than bottled water. This year, Canada recently updated its Food Guide to offer advice on what to eat, what not to eat, and how to eat. Half of the plate is fruits and vegetables, a quarter for whole grain foods, the final quarter for protein. They also removed dairy as a category, urging citizens to have a glass of water with meals. In the African nations of Tanzania and Zambia, clean water does not flow from their taps. A can of Coke is less than and safer than clean water. This choice adds up; according to the Human Sciences Research Council the cost of eating healthy in South Africa is 69% more than the alternative.
The opposite is true in other parts of the world. "As standards of living have improved in South Asia as well as in China, people are following more of what we tend to think of as a Western Diet, a high fat, high energy diet – we rating to see more diabetes and related heart disease. It's both an issue that we have made progress of infectious disease as well as the economic shift which has lead to people eating richer diets putting them at greater risk for heart disease," notes Dr. Winston.
A global problem
Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in America. It is also responsible for one-third of all global deaths. This global problem is going to need a large solution that addresses access to health care and preventative treatment. A WHO report estimates that Africa has about one doctor for every 5000 people. In underdeveloped nations, community health care workers fill the void of serving patient's who don't have access to a doctor or even a hospital. In South Africa, Mexico, and Guatemala, a study shows that these health care workers were able to screen adults for cardiovascular disease when access to a physician was not available. Armed with a mobile app, instead of traditional paper, these volunteer professionals were able to diagnose patients efficiently and at less cost compared to standard care.
There is hope in solving the global heart health problem. While there will certainly be a growing demand for cardiologists worldwide, it wasn't that long ago that the HIV/AIDS crisis seemed impossible to contain. Money for research, governments pushing for public health policies, and dedicated medical professionals will need to unite around the world to fight heart disease – together.

According to reports, West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate could be set for a switch elsewhere come the end of the season.
As reported by Turkish Football, Kouyate's agent has revealed that a whole host of clubs from England and Italy have sent scouts to watch the Senegalese midfielder during the international break, and they were impressed by his performances.
The 27 year-old's agent said, "We have received a lot of interest.
"Interest spiked after Senegal qualified for the World Cup yesterday. Several clubs and agents want to hold talks.
"The Italian and Premier League scouts have been very impressed."
He goes on to say that despite the influx of interest from several clubs, it does not mean that his player is looking to move elsewhere, and claims he is currently happy with his current situation at West Ham.
"Kouyate is very happy in England, he's settled into life.
"There are no offers on the table at this stage, we will hold talks and consider our options."
With four years left on his current contract, it will take a substantial bid to lure the powerful midfielder away from the London Stadium.
Having impressed for the Hammers this season despite their struggles in the league, it is likely that he will be looking to make the switch if the situation fails to improve under new manager David Moyes.
Kouyate and West Ham face a tough away trip to Vicarage Road to face an in form Watford side on Sunday afternoon.

PEMODELAN MATEMATIK PERUBAHAN PARAMETER MUTU KERUPUK SELAMA PENGGORENGAN DENGAN PASIR [Mathematical Modeling of Quality Parameter Changes of Chips During Sand Frying]
Chip is a preferred food by all economic levels of society. Before consumption, chip is prepared by frying. There are different kinds of frying methods; one of them is conducted using sand as the heat transfer medium, known as "hot sand frying". Frying using sand is interesting because of the specific characteristics of the final product. First, the chip is not oily, so that it does not easily become rancid. Secondly, chip prepared by sand frying is easily returned to its crunchiness by heating it at medium temperature (between 35 - 450C). The general purpose of this research is to develop a frying process using sand as the heat transfer medium. The specific purpose of this research is to develop a mathematical model to explain the quality parameter changes during sand frying. This laboratory based experiment was conducted using river sand and ferric sand as the medium for hot transfer and raw chip as the sample food. Equipment used include tools for measuring physical and thermal properties, a sand frying machine, tachometer, thermocouple, data logger, interface, and a personal computer. The results show that the average deviation of the predicted values is less than 10%., which suggests that the proposed mathematical model has a reliable precision level.

How to Stop Hair Loss and Thinning Hair
Hair loss has multiple potential causes, the most common include your diet, potential mineral deficiency, medications, stress, illness, and of course your genetics. Over 60% of the population suffer from some form of thinning by the age of 40.
There are no guarantees that you can stop hair loss and regrow lost hair, but you can give your strands the best possible chance of remaining intact. .
Guest post by J. Weathers.
Doctor's Advice: How To Prevent Thinning Hair
Avoid heat based hair products - Heat weakens hair proteins. Constant heating and drying can lead to brittleness and fragility, therefore you should reduce heat based practises such as hair straightening and blow-drying. Heat based products do not cause pattern baldness, but they do not help women who are prone to thinning hair.
Cut out chemicals - Always opt for natural and organic hair products. These types of products are safer to use and far kinder to your strands. Many of the most well-known hair styling brands are filled with chemicals that just aren't good for your hair, especially if you already suffer from hair loss, so try and avoid them at all costs. This can also be said for bleaching your hair on a regular basis. Cut down where possible.
Go easy of the styling products - Thick gunky styling gels and clays can play havoc with your hair, and they can cause serious damage if you already suffer from thinning hair. Try and avoid these types of products, and opt for natural, less harmful solutions. Hair styling products will not cause pattern baldness, but it certainly won't help if you are already experiencing the early effects of balding.
Take hair vitamins - The most important aspect of fighting hair loss is the way you treat it, and hair vitamins have never as popular as they currently are. Talk with your medical practitioner first, but you might like to consider using supplements to prevent hair loss. To get an idea of what sort of supplements are popular on the market, you may like to read Supplements for Treating Hair Loss.
See a specialist - If you've tried all the above and everything else you can think of, then be sure to see a hair specialist who may be able to help you with your problem. Beating baldness is not easy, and this is something that can take a lot of time to get to the bottom of. Finding an effective treatment plan can take some people months, and even years. So, weigh up your options, speak to the right people, do your own research, and sooner or later (hopefully sooner) you'll fall into an effective hair care routine.

GEORGETOWN, Texas – The Southwestern Pirates showed their strength by taking three out of
four matches in the weekend's SCAC Crossover Invitational. Now 5-2 in the conference, the
Pirates have beaten every team except for top two ranked Colorado College Tigers and Trinity
On Sunday the Pirates took on the University of Dallas to beat them 3-1. However, in the next
match against Colorado, the Pirates took a heavy loss in their three-streak win to lose 4-1.
Game 1: Southwestern vs. University of Dallas
Sets: 16-25, 26-24, 20-25,14-25
In the first match, the Pirates were able to win the first set, but Dallas came back to even the
score by winning the second set. However, the Pirates would not stop fighting to claim their
win and end the last two sets to give them the well-deserved win. Haven Cathey helped the
Pirates by adding 11 kills along with Jamison Duck who had 14 digs to help the Pirates defense.
Other players that helped the Pirates claim their victory were Alyssa Dooley and Ashley
Whitlock who had nine kills as well as six blocks for Whitlock.
Flora said, "We were pleased as a staff with the balance and offensive contributions from so
many attackers. It was good to see the team grow and take care of their business under some
pressure from a quality University of Dallas volleyball team."
Game 1: Southwestern vs. Colorado College
Sets: 17-25, 25-15, 25-11, 25-16
In the final game for the day, The Pirates faced No. 2 ranked Colorado Tigers for their toughest
match of the tournament. In the first two sets, the Pirates were able to keep in the game by
winning the second set to stay even with Colorado. However, Colorado would then take the last
two sets to win the match making this the only loss for the Pirates in the tournament.
Alyssa Dooley contributed 13 kills for the Southwestern Pirates while Brandi Campos helped
tremendously for the Pirates defense with 11 digs.
Flora noted, "We found a new level of expectation of one another within this SU Volleyball
program during this match. And growth and learning are always a high priority."
He added, "We give Colorado College plenty of credit for their ability to find their offensive
rhythm. They helped us see how we can develop and where we need to grow. We did an
excellent job at the service line today and that is an important component of this team's
development. We look forward to the opportunity to get into the gym and get to work on some
key areas that can be developed with this team soon."
Up next the Pirates get ready to play Out Lady for the Lake Tuesday, Sept. 25th at home.

Your health is everything. Without good health, your quality of life and ability to participate in it is greatly reduced. Similarly, mental health problems increase as poor physical health tends to increase depression and anxiety. Too often, poor health creates a negative cycle, impacting your finances with days lost due to injuries/illness and adding medical debt to your list of financial burdens.
Your place of work is where most time is spent. Certainly construction jobs offer a higher risk of producing impact injuries; however, office jobs also pose health risks with slouched backs and strained necks. Studies show that 35 percent of work injuries involve muscle sprains and tendons overstressed by repetitive movements. Consequently, the human body is likely to develop back pain and/or tendonitis from consistent bad form and posture.
Taking action for your health and wellbeing
Since injuries and poor health costs so much, it is crucial to take your health seriously while protecting the flow of your finances (i.e. no missed days due to injury or illness) and your ability to fully engage in life on a daily basis.
Here are two ways this can be done:
- Train regularly with cardio and weightlifting activities to create a powerful and stronger physique.
- Make a habit of intentionally unwinding from the mental and physical stress your body absorbs each day.
Body–conscious working
Being mindful of your posture and body form as you bend, lift and sit for long periods of time can seem like an arduous task. However, developing a habit of mindfulness can help you stay connected to how your body is feeling and prevent harmful strains.
If you work in an office where you sit for long periods of time, drinking more water can be an easy way to get you out of your chair. Walking to refill your water bottle or to make more trips to the bathroom will get you moving more frequently. Whichever line of work you are in, always put your health and safety first because your health is everything.
What are some activities you do outside of work to be more resilient to the physicaldemands of your job?

Published on : Tuesday, February 7, 2017
India is slowly gaining importance and popularity among Africans looking for medical facilities. Skilled medical practitioners, affordability and state-of-the-art infrastructure made India a hotspot for medical tourism. Unlike USA and UK where securing VISA is tough, India provides VISA in a week's time with treatments easy on pocket.
The 2015 Report of the Global Health Workforce Alliance shows that sub-Saharan African countries are facing serious issue with dearth of health care professionals and shortage of health care coverage for those in need of medical attention.
This is definitely is a much concerning news for the continent that carries disease with highest number of malaria patients, HIV/Aids and tuberculosis. To quote medical journal BMJ, ''Africa experiences 24 percent of the global burden of disease, yet it has only 2 percent of the global supply of doctors and less than 1 percent of expenditures on global health''.
Inadequate fund is one the major issues faced by the health care system of Africa. Nigeria, Africa's richest country with more than $594.257 billion national income spends only 4.6 percent on health care. 2015 witnessed more than 40,000 Nigerians visiting India of which half came for medical purposes as per Ajjampur Ghanshyam, Indian High Commissioner at Nigeria.

Easter Bonnet Parade - In A Brooklyn Minute (Week 102)
The 5th Avenue Easter Bonnet Parade in Manhattan is the most fabulous display of fashion anyone has ever thought up for a holiday. Actually, I'd like to believe that the images from this video and that day will bring us smiles all year long, not just on Easter. I hope you feel the same.
By the way, this was one of those shoots where I filmed a lot more than I could fit into one minute. So if you want to see more, please keep an eye on my YouTube channel LuciWest, where I'll soon be posting longer videos.
The song featured is called "Showtime!" and was written and produced by Jason Matherne of Goonygoogoo Productions.

As you ready your grill for the summer, be sure you have all the essentials by your side. These tools will make the grilling season more efficient and enjoyable.
The Great Scrape Woody NubWire grill brushes can eventually fall apart, dropping bits of metal inside your grill, but the Great Scrape's Woody Pro barbecue-cleaning tool can hold up for years because it's made of durable hardwood. To use, simply scrape the grill with the wood tip; over time, it'll develop grooves that conform to your grill grate. (Replaceable tips are sold separately).
Wüsthof Grilling SkewersSold in a set of four, these sturdy skewers from Wüsthof boast a couple of truly practical features. First, they're nice and flat, which prevents food from spinning as it grills. They've also got wide, curved handles, which not only allow for a solid grip, but also are great for storage—you can hang them when you're finished cooking.
Schmidt Brothers' Flexible Grill BasketThis nonstick flexible grilling basket comfortably expands to fit the thickness of a variety of foods, then locks into place without crushing its contents. This basket assures a foolproof outcome, especially when grilling delicate items like fish. It helps prevent fish skin from sticking to the grill grate, and you can flip all of the basket's contents in one smooth move. When not in use, store the grill basket with a piece of cardboard or foil between the mesh metal plates to prevent the flexible grips from getting tangled together.
Weber Rib RackRibs need to cook over indirect heat, so the section over direct heat is out of bounds. On smaller grills, this means that fitting even two slabs can be tricky. Enter this low-tech gadget, which holds the slabs vertically, so you can cook up to four slabs in the same space as two lying flat.
Looftlighter Charcoal IgniterAim the Looftlighter at the charcoal in your grill, and this plug-in fire starter will blow superheated air that's hot enough to light briquettes in seconds, no lighter fluid required. Hold it there longer, and the coals will be grilling-ready in just five minutes.
OXO Silicone Basting BrushA good basting brush is essential during grilling season to apply glazes and marinades before, during, and after grilling. Since you're often brushing raw or partially cooked meat, it's important to clean them thoroughly, and with this silicone-bristle brush it couldn't be easier: just toss in the dishwasher. The long handle lets you keep your hand away from the heat.
Charcoal Companion Pit MittThis knit aramid-fiber glove protects your hands and forearms from the heat of the grill (up to 475°F), but unlike bulky leather gloves, they hug your hand for dexterity and ease of movement, whether you're moving a grill grate or turning skewers. The silicone-coated palm and fingers assist with gripping items.
Shun BBQ Knife SetShun's classic barbecue knife set provides all the blades you'd ever need for your grilled meats: a Japanese-style poultry knife, a boning knife, and a brisket knife for slicing and trimming. It's a splurge-worthy gift for any barbecue lover.

Some people just content with styles and moods that they do not, in fact, wish to have in their homes. You won't be surprised to hear someone claiming that they have a particular style or mood at home just because they don't know how to change it or set their lamps in the method they would prefer. Never allow such a situation to happen when you have the power to set things the way you feel, so you enjoy life and the surrounding by a beautiful environment of your choice. If you love swag lamps, here are three unique ways you can use the lamps to set the style and mood you want.
Feel Free to Mix or Match Colors
If you exercise the freedom you have when it comes to mixing and matching stuff at home, you'll always get the best and avoid having to content with things you do not like. Choose colors that match well and feel free to try several combinations till you get it right. However, it does not mean that you buy several swag lamps for trying the different options. You can buy those of the same color and play the game of colors with the shades or stands. You'll, of course, have to put or hang the lamps somewhere. Make sure that you mix the colors of there well also and come up with creative combinations that will look beautiful.
Know How to Choose Lamps
You'll find a vast array of swag lamps out there and pick one can be a hassle especially when you are purchasing for the first time. Do not be made to believe that they are all the same or serve one purpose. That's not true. Take your time to go through as many options as possible before you finally land on one that's perfect to meet your lighting needs. Choosing is not a game of numbers. Come up with a strategy that will help you.
Consider the Light You Want
Do you want diffused and warm light or just some light at home? Well, if you can understand what you want and choose things correctly, you'll get the best lamps that will serve your purpose. Do not start the buying process if you are not already sure of what you want.
These are the ways that will make you a better buyer and installer of lights. It's always good to have a few tips when doing any task especially those that affect your living environment.

Teleopti today reports a SEK 6 million profit and a turnover of SEK 106 million. This means an increase with more than 10%.
In 2008 Teleopti expanded the geograpchical footprint; Five new offices were opened to support local customers and partners in Frankfurt, Helsinki, Moscow, Madrid and in Istanbul. Projects were completed in 9 new countries expanding the customer base to more than 50 countries globally.

Italy's Budget Plans Cause Concern
The 2019-2021 budget draft directly flouts eurozone rules and potentially increases the national debt.
In Brief
- Italy is clearly renouncing its prior commitment to a budget strategy that would put the debt/GDP ratio (130%+) on a gradual downward path.
- We believe if Italian government debt were to lose its investment-grade ratings, it would provoke an immediate liquidity crisis.
- A budget crisis in Italy could trigger a broader crisis in the euro area that could quickly become systemic.
[Just back from Italy, where he met with Italian economists and political analysts, Giulio Martini shares his thoughts on the budget proposal recently put forth by Italy's populist-leaning coalition party.]
The headlines say it all: "Euro on Brink," "Sleepwalking into Crisis." Italy's new ruling coalition—made up of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the right-wing League—knows how to stir up a ruckus. And their draft budget for 2019-2021 was just such a ticket.
Let's start with a few observations about the draft budget itself:
The draft budget sent to Parliament by the ruling coalition not only violates Italy's commitments under the European Union's (EU) Stability and Growth Pact (SGP)1 but also the Italian constitution. The plan proposes deficits averaging 2.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019, 2020, and 2021 (2.4%, 2.1%, and 1.8%, respectively), and it makes those projections on the basis of a 1.5% real GDP growth forecast. This compares with the previous plan, which met Italy's commitments with deficit targets of 0.8% in 2019, 0% in 2020, and a small budget surplus in 2021. Moreover, the real GDP growth estimate underlying those projections only averaged 0.8%.2
While the analytical details underlying the latest budget proposal haven't been released yet, it seems clear that the Italian government is on track for clashes with its own budgetary watchdog agency—equivalent to the Congressional Budget Office in the United States—and the European Commission (EC). I believe such clashes are inevitable because:
- First, the growth assumption underlying the projections is more than twice the 0.3%-0.8% range of current estimates of potential output growth.
- Second, the revenue estimates very likely contain the impact of a number of "one-offs," such as revenue gains from a tax amnesty.
- Last, it appears that the 2019 deficit is likely to come in at 1.2% or more, which should have triggered additional austerity measures. Instead, Italy has responded by canceling the Value Added Tax increase, which had been scheduled for January 1, 2019, and by adding a set of new spending commitments for 2020 and 2021 amounting to at least 1.5% of GDP.
In short, Italy is clearly renouncing its prior commitment to a budget strategy that would put the debt/GDP ratio (130%+) on a gradual downward path.
So what happens from here? The next steps in the process are fairly straight forward. Near term they are:
- A review of the proposal by the Italian parliament expert budget sub-committee by October 15;
- Approval of the budget by the parliamentary budget committee October 15-20;
- EC comments on the budget law and EC autumn forecast by the end of November; and
- Approval of budget by the full Italian parliament by December 31, 2018.
Further down the road would be:
- An evaluation of budgetary compliance under the SGP by the EU on April 10, 2022; and
- Recommendation under the Excess Deficit Procedure clause of SGP as to whether Italy should be assessed fines for non-compliance with EU budgetary principles.
A Potential Liquidity Crisis
All of the above steps stretching out the timeline of the conflict could be pre-empted if the four credit agencies cut their ratings in the near future. We believe if Italian government debt were to lose its investment-grade ratings from all four agencies—S&P, Moody's, Fitch, and DBRS—it would no longer be eligible for purchase by the European Central Bank and could no longer be posted as collateral by banks, provoking an immediate liquidity crisis.
The results of the next S&P review will be released on October 26 and Moody's review by the end of the October. Both currently rate Italy two notches above junk. It is widely believed that both agencies will cut their ratings by one notch and there is roughly a 50% chance of a negative watch addendum. Fitch currently rates Italian government debt two notches above junk, and the next review is scheduled for March, 2019. The DBRS rating is currently three notches above junk and the next review is scheduled for January 2019.
Risk of Contagion
In our opinion, the reason investors need to follow developments in Italy closely is that a budget crisis in that nation could trigger a broader crisis in the euro area that could quickly become systemic.

Cardi B in body paint for music video shoot
American female rapper Cardi B in body paint during a music video shoot in Monday at the exact time she was supposed to appear in a New York criminal court to face charges of assault in connection with a fight at a strip club.
The 26-year-old rapper was pictured twerking in an animal costume on the beach in Miami instead of attending her hearing.
The photographs will no doubt rile the judge, who on Monday warned that she risked arrest if she did not show up again.
Judge Scott Dunn told her lawyer 'to convey to her that it´s not acceptable that she is not here today.'
He also threatened to have Cardi B arrested if she doesn't show up for arraignment on Friday this week.
'You should inform her that if she doesn't show up to the arraignment on December 7, that unless the circumstances change, then it's very likely the court will issue a bench warrant for her arrest,' Dunn told her lawyer, Jeff Kern.
Kern told the judge that he rarely communicates directly with his client; instead, he makes contact with her via her business managers, Daily Mail reports.
He went on to apologize for her non-appearance, saying it was down to poor communication.
'I can tell you my client knew of the date, but there was a previously standing commitment for today and tomorrow,' he said, assuring the judge that his client was not a flight risk.
Kern said Cardi B had asked for an adjournment before Monday but the court had denied it. She was initially due in court on Oct. 29, but the court allowed her to reschedule.
It turns out that that 'previously standing commitment' was the Miami photo shoot.

Agents of Mayhem is coming in just a little over a month, and there always seems to be something new about the game every week! Though this isn't really new stuff, it's just pre-order cosmetic bonuses, it's still kinda cool. Basically, they're cosplay skins for the characters in the game, that makes them look vaguely like comic book characters (just not enough for a lawsuit, I'd guess).
It's a cool little harmless pre-order bonus, I'm always up for cosmetic bonuses for pre-ordering, it doesn't give anyone an advantage. Check out the trailer above and let us know what you think of the bonuses, and if you're pumped for the game!

I finished my marathon.
I have had a lot of thoughts and feelings about this, which I am putting into a post.
I've been terribly sad.
A dear friend of mine (one of the 4) has lost her pregnancy. At 9 weeks, I think? I've put together a list of miscarriage-related posts that have helped me along the way, but if you have any posts that you can think of that helped in the early days of miscarriage, please leave the link(s) in a comment.
Thanks ladies!

Mr Editor,
I want to register my concern at the extent at which our absentee Commander-in-Chief has given too much leeway to the Army Commander to run issues in the Army. What has shocked me and my fellow army officers and soldiers alike is the manner in which our commander Lt Gen Paul Mihova wants to literally personalize the army. As much as we understand his stubborn sense of nepotism and desperate intent to fill all strategic appointment with his kinsmen as well as awarding queer promotions and appointments on tribal lines, what seems to be way off course is the naming of a new army barracks in Kawambwa as 'Kayombo Barracks' named after his son, Kayombo Mihova ! I am made to understand that naming of such critical installations should be done with approval by Cabinet and should be reflected in the Government Gazzette but this was not done. The only thing we saw was an official letter from the Commander's office changing the name of the new marine base in Kawambwa from Kala Barracks to Kayombo Barracks all complete with a Luvale motto "mwa meya, mwa mavu". This was only changed after strong opposition from one brave Colonel who convinced other Generals to reject this' Mihovalisation' of our once-prestigious Army.
What further beats me most is what made Gen Mihova think that the people of Kawambwa could run out of names of prominent people, chiefs and other items of historical nature etc only to settle for the Army Commander's spoilt son, better Chinkuli Barracks ! This is tantamount to abuse of authority of office and I call upon the Commander-in-Chief to take time to look at the affairs of the Army as times because the General is running it like he is running a Mukanda Circumcision camp !

3 Facebook Poker Games with a Mobile App to Boot
This time we're looking at three top Poker games available through Facebook.
Before we start, lively things up with some Sexy Poker??
One of them (our #1 favourite) is also available as an Android app for your phone. Zynga Poker earns that spot. Their app plugs in seamlessly with the Facebook game, offering a tighter play window on the smaller mobile screen, which is not a bad thing actually.
Top Three Facebook Poker Games (and Android App)
1. Zynga Poker (known as Texas Hold'em Poker also)
2. Poker Palace
3. Poker Rivals
Now, first of all, the reason we want to cover these — even though you can't play for real cash on them — is to inform you, of course, but also to suggest a nifty way that playing these can steel your nerves for the money betting games.
The fact is, Zynga is famous for 'social gaming', and so getting familiar with their games will behove you (fortunately the studio's first hit was Poker!). That's because many mainstream online casinos will begin offering social features in the coming years, perhaps months!
The Facebook Factor
Facebook really is the ideal platform (as opposed to the open Web) for social gaming, because everyone we know is already on Facebook. Its standard publicly-visible information about each official Page is also a nifty way to size up things like Poker games:
- Zynga Poker: 762,860 likes (or players) · over 10K+ 'talking about this'
- Poker Palace: 719,146 likes · ~1,000 'talking about this'
- Poker Rivals: 5,495 likes · 2 'talking about this'
Now, although we chose to respect the popularity numbers above in ordering our top three list, the truth is that aside from Zynga, we find Poker Rivals more innovative than Poker Palace (which we'll not get into).
Click to view the latest at Red Flush Mobile Casino!!
The Lovable Underdog Is Underrated
The screens and overall look of Poker Rivals has a distinctly more human-scale feeling than other games that rely on the realism of shaded icons like chips or diagram-like tables. There are avatars (screen selves) that look human, like Japanese cartoons rather than either silly avatars or simply the boxy Facebook profile images. And you can buy your avatar stylish clothes and accessories.
There is little doubt that winning a nice big pot of money with a great hand is a rush. Yet playing for play money (chips) in one of these three games reconnects us with the love of playing itself. It just might be that staying in touch with the pure enjoyment of playing is what takes us to winning.
The Reasons to Play on Facebook
People enjoy just playing so much (or else they fear betting the farm) that they actually purchase chips to play on Facebook. Good thing that Zynga Poker gives you $2,000 to start. Another nice thing is giving and receiving chips from friends (for example, after big wins) — this one of the ways social gaming come into play.
Zynga is a very slick game. There's not much use in describing it — Zynga doesn't even bother posting screen shots of its game before you begin to play through Facebook. The colours are rich, the interface is clean, and, as reviewers are apt to note, Zynga has found the right pace for the rounds, the perfect speed. Just try it.
In closing, our suggestion is to nurture your Poker heart on Facebook, so that you can launch killer hands playing the real-cash casinos.
There is always Reel cash slots if you know what we mean… Click to review Necker Island slots game.

The strong winds are also expected to increase the numbers of homes, roads, and schools damaged.The National Institute for Disaster Management said it was ready for the impact of Dineo, despite being slightly under budget. It recommended that citizens stay off the roads during the storm.The national emergency operational centre instructed Mozambicans to keep themselves informed, but to turn off all electronic devices, including cellphones.Citizens were advised to close all windows, ensure the safety of the elderly and sick, and to prepare food and water reserves.The Red Cross in Mozambique had dispatched 350 volunteers and emergency supplies to communities in the cyclone's path, and would direct those affected to shelters."We're concerned about extensive flooding, given that many of the districts likely to be hit have been inundated by above-normal rainfall since early January and rivers in some areas are already at flood level," said Jamie Le Sueur, Red Cross disaster management co-ordinator for Southern Africa said.The southern-most provinces are usually the most affected by droughts and floods during the rainy season, which lasts for three months, subsiding in March. The Red Cross was concerned that the storm would result in an outbreak of cholera due to damaged and contaminated water sources.The priority would be disinfecting and treating water.Dineo was expected to move westward, toward South Africa, and neighbouring countries.See more photos here.

I LOVE THIS DISH!. Most people call different variations of this cran-apple crisp, cranberry-apple cobbler, apple-cranberry pie, but in my family we call it CRAPPLE. My sister in law gave me this recipe before i got married ( to her amazing brother) and i really love it. I usually tweak recipes because i find it dull to follow them exactly, but this needs no tweaking.
You will need:
6 tart apples peeled and chopped.
1 can of whole cranberry sauce
1 cup sugar
3 tbs white flour
For the crunchy top you will need:
2 1/2 cup quick oats
1 cup flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup melted margarine
Spray your pan with olive oil or pam.
Combine first 4 ingredients and pour into pan. In a small bowl, mix topping ingredients until crumbly, spread over apple mixture and bake at 350 for 55 minutes.
You will be tempted to taste this right out of the oven…cranberry sauce gets VERY hot and you WILL burn your lips. Otherwise, Enjoy! 😉

"The TARDIS Loves the Circle K" Embroidered Pillow
My answer to one person's request for more Doctor Who crafts and Tracy's request for Bill and Ted embroidery.
14 count antique white cross stitch cloth
Scrap 8 oz. canvas
Dark pewter cotton embroidery floss
Light beaver grey cotton embroidery floss
Red cotton embroidery floss
Dark midnight blue embroidery floss
Medium cornflower blue embroidery floss
Antique white embroidery floss
"Celebrate it" holiday black glitter
Thanks to the jerk who stole my phone at the Addison red line stop two weeks ago, the early design photos of this project are lost. But I did my best to document the latter half of the process.
Tracing the outline for the TARDIS and the Circle K phone booths was easy. I started with the Circle K — working from a couple artist's renderings of the shapes and colors — tracing out an initial outline that was 10 x 20 stitches. From there, I was able to pencil in the details of the booth and adjust the size and details for the TARDIS.
The caption is a cheeky poke at the fandom community — because, occasionally, we DO 'ship actual ships (not often though, and not usually over the age of thirteen or so).
Once the design was complete, I turned the design over to face the side if the canvas I wanted facing out once completed. I sewed up three of the sides and trimmed off the excess canvas and cross stitch cloth.
I cut a small length of the ribbon (approx. 10″, taking the loop into account), looped a knot at the center, and stitched the two ends to outside-facing (interior) section of the canvas. I then stitched up the top, leaving a small portion open, flipped the pillow inside out, filled it with poly fill and sewed up the top.
I am loving how the time traveling love machines turned out. What do you guys think?

The expanded recreation center will provide about 94,000 square feet of space for open recreation, intramural sports, and wellness education. All currently enrolled students will be able to use the facility.
Students will be charged $19.25 per credit hour per semester starting in 2014, since buildings such as the Student Recreation Center and the Millennium Student Center cannot be funded by state general fund dollars.
New amenities include a three-court gymnasium; an elevated track; 14,000 square feet of weight and fitness space; four multi-purpose rooms for activities such as spinning and yoga; a six-lane lap pool (25 yards) with whirlpool; a lounge/game room; a juice bar; a locker room; a sauna; an administrative suite for facility staff and student workers and a wellness center.
"Past, present and future students – those that have taken tours of UMSL – often comment on the need for more recreational opportunities for students who commute to or live on campus," said Chancellor Tom George. "They point out the benefits derived from rec centers located on other campuses—such as providing students with more outlets for healthy activities, stress relief and interaction with follow classmates. So, from that standpoint, I want to commend our student leadership for bringing this important issue to the entire student body for consideration."
"Students should support 'Check the Rec' because it gives them a chance to decide how their campus grows and progresses," said Chancellor Thomas, media relations subcommittee chair. "It gives students the option to mold the future of the University in a constructive and positive way. The Recreation center would create a central hub in which students could hold various events, promote health awareness and well-being."
Others are not altogether excited for the changes, though. "I do not agree with an increase in fees specifically for the Student Recreation Center," said Erick McLaughlin, senior, Spanish. "If it were used by an overwhelming majority of students, it might make more sense, but given the current situation, I would be against the fee."
"I do not agree with an increase in fees for the rec center," said Michael Keleher, junior, Psychology. "I feel I pay enough already in nonresident tuition. It would be a great idea if UMSL had more students on campus. That is not the case, so I would be against a $19.25 per credit hour fee."
Student Government Association President Jericah Selby disagrees with McLaughlin and Keleher. "The cost of the fee would result not only in a great facility, but would help establish our growing campus culture and help recruit and retain students at UMSL," Selby said.
George and Thomas both agree that the additions to the recreation center will bring in a larger freshman class.
"I do believe that this will bring a larger incoming freshman class," Thomas said. "Our campus is the only one in the UM System that has not built a new recreation center or renovated their current recreation center. That may not seem important, but when we are in a competition with our universities all over the country in providing the most fulfilling college experience, that is a serious handicap. With the recreation center, we can create a great UMSL community in which to bring incoming freshmen."
"Yes, I think it will encourage more individuals to consider UMSL," George said. "We have an outstanding educational faculty, comprehensive internship connections and an extensive alumni network in the region. The rec center would complement those assets well."
The project design is expected take 9 to12 months. Construction will take 15 to 18 months. The building is projected to open in the 2014-15 academic year.
"My expectation is to have a good voter turnout," Selby said. "What I hope for is that students see this initiative as a way to take part in their student governing process. I expect students to want to voice their opinions and vote in March. I want students to have a say in the future of their institution and impact the lives of future UMSL Tritons."
