FC: Journey Across the Ancient African Civilizations | By: Stephany Flores and Ely Hernandez
1: Ghana | Civilization: 700 - 1000
2: When I arrived to the Ghana civilization, I was astounded. Everything was beautiful. The first thing I saw was people walking around with beautifully designed clothes. It seemed like if they were made of mud and then I found out that they actually were made out of mud. A lady told me that they used mud to make designs on cloth, they let the sun bake the cloth and then the designs stayed on the cloth!! The families seemed very together and happy. The laughed and they sang all the time. They were all very respectful. Each member of the family would have a responsibility. I wished I would have been born one of them, their happiness was contagious. Ghana did not have education in literature. Most of the people were farmers, miners, or artists.
3: The kingdom was divided into districts. Each district had their own leader. They had a constitutional democracy. All of these district leaders had to listen to the king though. The king traded vast amounts of Gold with other places. What shocked me the most was that the king of Ghana traded Gold for salt! Apparently, to them salt was just as valuable as gold. Also, I found out that they taxed traders. When I asked what the reason for this was they told me that it was so they were able to pay for the army and soldiers. I liked it so much, when I was strolling around, I found people wearing costumes and singing while telling stories. I found out that these people were called Griots. This was the way people passed history down and gave advice. Their stories were very creative and I wished I would have been able to stay there longer, but unfortunately I had other places to go to.
4: Mali | Civilization: 1200 - 1470
5: When I first got to Mali, the first person they took me to was the Mansa. The Mansa was the king I soon found out. The people apparently believed that the Mansa had contact with the gods, the reason why I say this is because I saw paintings where the Mansa was seen with god looking beings. The people there started to tell me stories; most of them were farmers and fishers. Most of the people were Islamic. There were though many ethnic groups. Just like in the Ghana Empire I found out that the people in Mali believed that everything had a soul. What I liked about the people in Mali was that there was no different society class; it was all based on your act.
6: Mali was very rich. It had vast trading routes. I was not surprised when I found out that they taxed traders as well. They also traded slaves, and gold just like Ghana. Mali traded with European and Asian places. Mansa musa wrote books that were very famous; I myself got a copy of one of them. I heard that Mansa Musa was going to leave to visit Mecca. He personally told me that he was going to give gold presents to the kings of the cities where he would go. I know this wont end up well, I told him but he did not want to listen to me.
7: Songhai | Civilization: 1460 - 1600
8: The next place I visited was Songhai. Most of the people here were muslim. There were different social statuses in Songhai. There were slaves and different clan. The people also had a caste system. Most of the people here were also farmers and fishers. There were some people that were very religious. I offered them a pork rib and alcohol and they told me that it was bad for them. Like honestly, how can some pork ribs be bad for you? Well, what ever, I was confused. Their houses were made of stone. Most people spent little of their time in their homes. In order to receive the husband's wealth, women had to fully respect and obeyed him. Some people wore western clothes, but not most of them. The children were taught in two different ways, formal and informal. When children were taught how to fish, it was considered formal.
9: Because king Sunni Ali ber was a politician, Songhai had an army and a navy. Songhai also taxed people. There were different clans in the society; each clan had a different job. People that were in low status were not allowed to work in farms. The lowest society class was slaves though.
10: East Africa | Civilization: 600 - 1400
11: The people in East Africa were diverse. i found out that the Arabs and the Bantu people all lived in this region. These people were know called the Swahili culture. their religion was Islam. The Bantu speakers adopted Arabic words and combined it into their language. this language was now know as Swahili. The Bantu people did not have a written language s they used the Arabic language to write the Swahili language. The people were wearing animal skin or grass, seemed very strange to me.
12: East Africa was very successful with trade and had a very wide rang of trade. They would trade ivory, and animals with Asia. Slaves were also traded. Arab traders would marry the local women from East Africa in order to be able to trade more goods and have trading centers. East Africa even had Chinese porcelain from China. They're economy was very wealthy Their government was structured due to the fact that they would have different regions and their trade was very good. There were many rulers because of the different regions.
13: Great Zimbabwe | Civilization: 1400 - 1500
14: Great Zimbabwe as I was able to find out was a major trading center. I saw a lot of people trading ivory and Gold. I did see some Asian and Arabic artifacts. I was confused by the findings of these artifacts. I decided to ask one of the traders and he told me that those artifacts had been obtained from Asian and African trade. I off course felt shame by not having been able to determine that since around this area people traded with Asian places.
15: When in was looking for a place to go, I found that houses were all made of stone. They did have royal houses though, this was where the chiefs lived, and of course, that was where I was aiming to go to. There was also a school and this was surrounded by a great wall. I really thought this was one of the biggest kingdoms I had seen so far.
16: Kongo Kingdom | Civilization: 800 - 1500
17: The Kongo Kingdom was one of my favorite places to visit. I really liked their government structure, the King had a government of people, the king fixed the big thing and the small government fixed the small things. The government included judges, guards, it was really well organized. The Kongo Kingdom was divided into provinces. The way that people entered into the social classes was by matrimony. The people survived every day by fishing and hunting. Here they also taxed people. They also collected fines. I got fined, I did not even know why, but I paid anyway.
18: The people believed Nzambi, that was their major god, besides that they believed in spirits. When people believed that a spirit had been offended they consulted a diviner. I was actually there when this occurred. The story was that there had been a fight between villagers about agriculture. Then crops stopped growing so they thought that the water spirit had been offended. So they called this diviner. And I have no idea what happened after then since it was time for me to go back home. I sure hope that

Due to the century-long American "love affair with the automobile," we face a variety of paradoxes when we promote transportation demand management as a means of decreasing the negatives effects of America's annual 2.9 trillion highway miles.
Ranging from the fact that much traffic originates outside the political jurisdiction where it occurs to the fact that politicians can't appear to be attacking voters, almost all of whom are drivers, perhaps the most powerful Catch 22 is that people can't change driving behavior until there are reasonable substitutions for driving but there can't be reasonable substitutions for driving until citizens support money to build and operate them.
While countless books promote the "car-free culture," the how do we get there from here is inevitably neglected.
In a series of presentations before local, national and international forums, planners and governments (only a few listed below), I've addressed just that issue – how we turn the Titantic composed of an uninformed public, voter-fearful politicians, and profit-driven businesses toward transportation sustainability. The viewer or listener needs only to realize the complexity of our oil addiction and suspend his or her cultural need for instant gratification. There is no bumper sticker answer here, just as there is no bumper sticker reason how America got on and continues down what historians call "path dependency" toward environmental, social and economic failure.

To say I am obsessed with monogrammed items would be an understatement!! I just adore these personalized pieces so very much, and I love gifting them too! Today I'm sharing with you my most recent monogrammed picks with Marley Lilley.
First up, the poncho and scalloped handbag seen above! The poncho is comfortable, stylish and chic! It can be easily paired with leggings and booties or with denim too! It's so effortless, don't you think?! Oh, and ya can't beat the price too!! The length is great as well, completely covers the bum, lol!
Then there's the bag! I mean, who doesn't love a cognac monogrammed bag with beautiful scalloped edges! This smaller bag easily holds a wallet and phone. The gold tone details on the buckle and chain are what also sold me, it's these unique touches that make this bag a perfect piece and a perfect gift idea too!!
Up next, these two adorable tops seen above! The first is a leopard tunic with suede detail pocket (comes in many other colors too, FYI)! This tunic is such a great length, super, and I mean super soft!! I love it worn alone or with this great suede vest and leggings combo! In the next pic, I'm wearing the boyfriend V-neck sweater! This oversized sweater is both cozy & chic and the embroidery on the pocket is the perfect personalized touch, don't you think? In both photos I'm wearing my fave high waist leggings for under $15 you can shop here. They come in different lengths as well, which is great, and are nice and thick too with a band that stays put!!
The length of this sweater also covers my bum, so perfectly acceptable to wear with high waist leggings and mules for a casual chic outfit!
You know I love my shoes (that's an understatement, lol) So when I saw these loafers that could be monogrammed you know I was all over that!!
I wear a size 8.5 but went with a 9 in these loafers and they fit great, so I would recommend if you are in between, size up the 1/2 size. Oh and then there was this lace up tunic sweater! Looks so cozy right? Well it totally is! It's made from a lightweight sweatshirt material so it's soft and comfy. This one is not as loose fit as the boyfriend one above though, so if you want a looser fit, make sure to size up, otherwise it does fit true to size and the sleeves are nice and long too.
Alright, so here ya have it! These are my newest and favorite monogrammed items that I'm sure you'll love just as much as I do! Shop them all with my links and ask any questions ya have about size and fit and I'll be sure to answer them! Thanks for following me, and if you're not yet, I sure would love if you signed up by leaving your email and subscribing ❤ You can also shop my looks on the blog too, on the "shop my looks" tab! This is where I post all my outfits, some never before seen on Instagram too!!! Check it out ?

HENRY'S SEAFOOD IN CHARLESTON, sc
Charleston is known for its Southern Plantation Charm, its 65,000 students plus and its wonderful cobblestoned traditional flair of its town center...o and lets remember the Battery Park Mansions along the sea view. What it's not known about in the traditional sense is best exemplified by the oldest staid restaurant in South Carolina...Henrys! The man who bought Henry's in 1985 revamped it to include a Elvis style jungle room upstairs leading from the rooftop bar and deck into a nightclub renamed NV(think Nevada Elvis style and you will conjure up the vision of zebra hides and plush leather couches complete with the real cool animal bronze sculptures.)
The owner of Henrys pictured to the left is Leo. His manager is Patrick Johnson. I ask if he is from the famous Johnson and Johnsons and he laughs and says that he is a native Charlestonian! Leo is a bundle of energy of Peach and Tranquility and Wild Crazy Playboy Hugh Hefner mix. It is totally a treat to meet and laugh with the wild team of Henrys. "I bought the restaurant in 1985. It is one big restaurant and I tweaked it to include the Whiskey Bar upstairs which has jazz and blues and rock and roll on Fridays and Saturdays and the NV nightclub with VIP bottle service, a huge stage and dance floor and the lounge room. At one time it had a real swinging shag room which I am renovating now. That is my idea. I designed all the decorations and all the architecture myself. I am a straight male yet I am a great designer." He jokes when I say that I am truly in love with the entire place of Henrys.
It is named the Rum Runner of St. Augustine...rum runner conjures up many memories mostly of my days as a flight attendant for Midway Airlines where I flew every flight with my buddy Cheri Rafferty (husband James Hershey, yes of the Hershey Chocolate Family) now owner of Talent Management a model and acting talent agency in Chicago. While at the airline I had many buddys with the famous most wild airline in the world that merged with Midway... South Florida Airlines(think the sad story of South Florida Airlines heading into the Potomac river on that fateful icy day...I flew with "ernie" many times whose best friends were on that flight.). A couple of these pilots were millionaire playboys living on the intercoastal waterways of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and we went on many Miami South Beach yacht adventures to find little water huts of rum runners. That is the pirate legacy of the south Florida formation of colonies. Here at St. Augustine I am about to embark on another one we hope with my lovely funny and wildly intelligent friend the Prince Al of Regensburg, Thurn und Taxis.http://www.blackravenadventures.com/
Tonight at 7:45pm which to me on European time is 19:45pm. The 29th of July. Arrrrgh mateies!
Tonight at 7:45pm which to me on European time is 19:45pm. The 29th of July. Arrrrgh mateies!
Says the wonderfully beautifully sophisticated Swedish owner of the Pirate ship named Monica(and her husband is Gunnar). "We came to St. Augustine and owned a hotel but no longer. We built the ship from our own imagination.tion thinking that the city of St. Augustine needed a Pirate ship adventure to compliment the rest of the charming town. It is such a wonderful historic town and we had a famous architect design the pirate ship.
The entire idea and trip and ship is from our ideas. I don't think that any other ship in the world is like this one." she says. st call Friday and Saturday rumrunner ship. It is how do you say? Not for the easily offended"I hope that you are a adult when you are courageous enough to board the 8:00pm rumrunners cruise...it is not for the faint hearted and we hold our breath. We never! know what they are going to say next(kind of like Trump's speech writers.." Her Public Relations Genius name is Grace how says, "Lets say BAWDY is a good word. It is a adult cruise. We have children's cruises everyday where they can be pirates and we have Birthday celebrations and of course weddings however the Friday and Saturday night is for adults only." Okay we got it~!
The wonderful St, Augustine...the trolley rides around the island to about 33 locations all day long...a 3 day ticket is a must. Fun and informative...yet the coolest item on the list today on the 28th of July? The last day of the Rock a Billy Group, Go, Get, Gone at the famous outdoor FREE stage pictured below on George Alley...the central location smack in the middle of the famous old fashioned city. Starts at 18:45pm...aka 6:45pm to the Americans. FREE with Giveaways such as tshirts and sunglasses complete with homemade GINGER beer and Homemade Ginger Frozen Margueritas. Yum...at Taberna del Caballo is located at 37 St. George alley and the FREE OUTSIDE concert is to the left hand side entrance to the left side of the gift store. Come have fun all night long and enjoy the huge Rock-a-Billy band before it makes its way to europe for their tour! http://colonialquarter.com/dine/taberna-del-caballo/ is the website if you want to check Kelley below, Cindy Stavely, the executive director and Cindys husband John who does the Colonial Tours of the 2 acre open arena that spans from the 1500s to the 1700s. "We have the Bull and Crown English Pub Restaurant too in addition to the Largest Authentic Pirate Museum in the World." she boasts. The bartender, Kelley pictured below in the outside stage arena where the Rock-a-Billy Band is playing tonight at 6:45 pm(18:45pm to the Europeans), gave me a cool Ginger Frozen Marguerita. I am NOT A FAN of GINGER, however fell in love with it. "Order a Air Conditioner Ginger Style tonight at the concert if you love it that is the drink." He says as he gives me a taste of Ginger beer that they brew themselves! Um Yum. Cindy says that "I truly enjoy the city. Me and my husband came here 20years now on the honeymoon. I wanted to show him where my daughter attends college at the Flagler University. We fell in love with the city and I have been involved with the tourism business of St. Augustine ever since. Make sure you say that the Pirate Museum has the largest artifacts collection of the Golden Age of Piracy in the world. 2 Major Pirate Attacks seriously happened here. Sir Francis Drake burned the city to the ground and we have artifacts from that event and Robert Searles pirate attacked the city in 1668. We have 1 of 3 Jolly Rogers flags that still exist in the world right here in the museum. It has about 800 artifacts real and authentic...people come from everywhere in the world and finally St. Augustine is receiving the recognition it deserves. Last year Mumford and Sons added St. Augustine and brought over 35,000 fans! Now they tell friends and friends tell friends and everybody is coming to St. Augustine." she says proudly. Please come and say hi. "We all will be at the event tonight having fun, not working!" she says.
Below is the famous TRADEWINDS where the star JIMMY BUFFET got his first start. He used to sell 5 cassettes per night of his live music performance. The owner of TRADEWINDS TONI didn't like JImmy Buffet so she wouldn't let him play at the location any longer. When Mr. Buffet became famous he came back to rub it in to Toni who still wouldn't let him play at TRADEWINDS... talk about Principals!

In five and a half years, Freebies 2 Deals, a website that provides daily deals and money-saving tips on hundreds of products, has gone from a family blog with several deals a week to reaching hundreds of thousands of people each month.
The person behind the site is Melea Politis Johnson: a mother, Utah native, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She says it all began as a simple way to save money after having her first child and choosing to stay home.
"It was a total accident, the whole thing I feel like was very God-driven I don't know how else to put it."
With her husband being paid on commission, Johnson says it was difficult to budget with an unknown amount of money coming in. After looking for jobs she could do from home, she decided that finding ways to stretch out the money that was coming in was her best option.
So, Johnson began researching ways to save money and realized that there were so many opportunities to save and get free products online and in stores all the time. Each week she would post the deals on her family blog so friends and family could get the deals too.

Mark 1:14-15
Believe in the Good News
January 21, 2018 Maple Grove UMC
This worship series is called "Do You Need a Fresh Start?" Do you need a way to start over, a new or renewed relationship with God? We started with baptism. When you face temptation or depression or troubles, remind yourself: Baptizatus sum. I am baptized. Come what may, I am beloved and pleasing to God. Last Sunday it was about the life-changing excitement of meeting Jesus, getting in touch—or back in touch--with the passion and excitement of knowing and being known by Jesus Christ.
Do you need a fresh start? Today we turn to the start of Jesus' ministry, what Mark reports as his very first sermon. And here it is: "The time is fulfilled," Jesus said, "and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." That's it. That's the whole sermon. You don't have to say it; I'll say it for you: Why do I need fifteen minutes, when Jesus got by with 19 words? The better you are, the fewer words you need. Jesus was pretty good!
You could memorize this sermon in a couple of minutes. In fact, let's do just that. There are three phrases:
The time is fulfilled
The kingdom of God has come near
Repent, and believe in the good news.
It's short, but it's packed. The time is fulfilled. The Greek language has two different words for time. One is chronos, as in our English word 'chronological.' It's time as measured by a clock—minutes and hours and days. The other word is kairos. It means an opportune time, a critical time, a decisive moment. Which word do you think Mark uses when Jesus says, "the time is fulfilled"--chronos or kairos? Right—kairos. When Jesus speaks, it's not just any time; it's the time. If you're looking for a fresh start, don't wait for someone to say something, don't wait for something to happen to you, don't wait until you somehow get your act together. It's time, Jesus says, right now.
The time is fulfilled, Jesus says . . . and the kingdom of God has drawn near. What is this kingdom of God? Mark's readers would have understood it in contrast to the kingdom of Caesar, the Roman Empire, in which money talks, might makes right, and peace is kept through fear and domination. In the kingdom of God, however, love talks, forgiveness makes right, and peace is made through suffering and service. The kingdom of God is like Martin Luther King's Beloved Community, in which all people are worthy, all people have food and shelter and health care, in which our diversity enriches rather than divides us. This kingdom of God, Jesus says, has drawn near—that is, it's come right up close, so close you can feel it and taste it, so close you can live in it if you want to.
The nearness of God's kingdom relativizes all other values and concerns. How can you worry about money or status when God's kingdom is right here? How can you put yourself above others when God's kingdom as so close? How can you shut out the homeless and strangers when God's kingdom is right here?
Carolyn and I used to know someone who wrote a song about being in love, called Everything Changes:
Everything changes when I see you--
I was doing just fine a minute ago,
I'm not doing nothin' any more.
Everything changes when I see you.
Have you ever been in love like that? The presence of the one you love changes everything. Whatever else you were planning to do doesn't matter any more, if they show up. Whether or not you've got money or accomplishments or success doesn't matter, so long as you've got that person. Everything changes. The kingdom of God drawing near is like that. Don't be afraid to take a stand—the kingdom of God is right here. Don't worry about pride or success—the kingdom of God is right here. Don't give up hope—the kingdom of God is right here. What else matters, when God's kingdom is right here? It changes everything!
The kingdom of God is so near, Jesus says, that it warrants your response—in fact it demands a response. With the power and presence of God so near, with life the way God intends it to be within reach, you can't just keep on living the same old way. Our response to the nearness of the kingdom, Jesus says. is . . . repent and believe in the good news. But in English, this word 'repent' carries a lot of baggage. It conjures up images of groveling on the ground, of making long lists of sins, of public humiliation at the altar. Repentance could be like that, but it's not what the Greek word means. The Greek word means literally 'to change your mind.' One translation puts it like this: "Change your whole way of thinking! Heaven is already here!"1 "Repent!"—that can sound like a threat. "Change your whole way of thinking because heaven's here"—that sounds more like an invitation.
Repent, Jesus says, change your whole way of thinking . . . and believe in the good news, or 'gospel.' In Jesus' time this word especially referred to a message about a victory in battle and so it was associated with the emperor and military power.2 In Jewish circles, the idea tended to mean the end of Roman occupation and oppression, being delivered from the bad guys.3 But Jesus clearly has something else in mind—not deliverance from suffering but God's power at work in the midst of suffering.4 This kind of good news is not always easy to see. (That's why we have the We Spy God project—to learn to see it.) One writer asks, How can there be good news when the Romans are still here? How can there be good news when racism and poverty and abuse happen all the time? How can there be good news, he asks, when my dad just died?5
The good news Jesus brings is not that we are rescued from trouble and pain. His good news is that the kingdom of God has drawn near, a whole different way of life is right here. That whatever happens, God is in it with his presence and power. With the kingdom so close, everything changes. Bad things will happen, but the kingdom of God is right here. Bad things will happen, but they're not the only reality. Bad things will happen, but we choose to believe in the good news.
In a few moments Marialice Bennett is going to share with you and invite you to make your wellbeing covenant, your commitment to a healthier, more abundant life. Here is one way of thinking about that: how can I live right now in light of God's kingdom being right here? What in my life just really doesn't matter, what feels possible, how can I dream life to be, because in Jesus Christ the kingdom of God is right here? The covenant card is an opportunity to change your whole way of thinking and believe in the good news.

Dame Maggie Smith, one of the nation's most loved actresses, has made a welcome return to our Sunday nights as the Dowager Countess in series four of the wildly successful Downton Abbey. With a career spanning over half a century, the screen icon has seen it all and has become synonymous with British film and television.
It was hard to choose them, but we've put together a list of the ten most interesting facts about the fabulous dame:
1. Originally an Essex girl, Margaret Natalie Smith was born in December 1934. Her mother was a Glaswegian secretary, while her father was a public health pathologist at Oxford University. The family moved to Oxford when 'Maggie' was four years old. She had her eyes set on the limelight from a young age and studied acting at The Oxford Playhouse as soon as she left secondary school at 16.
2. Not every BAFTA nominee for 'Best Newcomer' goes on to have a career that lasts over 60 years with countless award wins. Smith was nominated for the award in 1959 for her role as Bridget Howard in Nowhere To Go. The actress didn't wait around to make the leap across the pond either. She was nominated for a Golden Globe after she starred alongside Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Orson Welles in Hotel International in 1963.
3. Smith met Daniel Radcliffe before their days as on-screen wand waving wizards. The pair worked together in the BBC drama David Copperfield in 1999, two years before the world was gifted with the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
4. She has won Academy Awards for both 'Best Actress In a Leading Role' and 'Best Supporting Actress'. The first award came in 1970 for her work in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and the second in 1978 for her role in California Suite. This also means she's the only actress to have won the two awards in this order ('Best Actress' before 'Supporting Actress').
5. While filming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dame Maggie Smith was suffering from breast cancer, but despite undergoing chemotherapy and various treatments, Smith was determined to finish filming. At the time, she said she was going to "stagger through" filming of the final instalment of the series. Thankfully, Smith made a full recovery.
6. Maggie Smith was made a Dame in 1990, or if you're fancy, 'Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire'. This title accompanied her CBE that was awarded in 1970.
7. The actress has also built up a nice collection of honorary degrees from prestigious universities in her time. Her first was conferred by the University of St Andrews in 1971, another by the University of Bath in 1986, and a third one by the University of Cambridge in 1995. Not bad for someone who never went to university.
8. We feel as though we need to remind you that she also starred in Sister Act as the Reverend Mother, because no Maggie Smith facts page would be complete without at least one reference to the classic film.
9. Smith has always been charmingly modest. In an interview, she explained why she doesn't often do them, saying: "It's just that as you talk, one thinks, 'God, it's really rather dull'." She also said why she thinks she's associated with Britain's top actors: "'That's because of age. If you live long enough in England, they think you're amazing'."
10. Dame Margaret Natalie Smith once modestly summed up her prosperous career perfectly, and in just one sentence: "One went to school, one wanted to act, one started to act, and one's still acting."

James O-Keefe's latest project aims at exposing the hypocrisy of the anti-gun crowd and punked a number of lefties posing as a member of the "Citizens Against Senseless Violence". Project Veritas does it again, by exposing the protectionism of many from the Media by many of those wildly supporting the criminalizing of legal gun owners. "Is Eric Holder home??"
A truly priceless video!
From Project Veritas' website:
After the high impact Voter Fraud investigation released throughout 2012, Project Veritas, set its sights on top gun control advocates to see how they felt when placed in the same position as our nation's children – within a Gun Free Zone.
Project Veritas' found, James O'Keefe remarked, "Our nation's children spend the majority of their week within schools that are starkly emblazoned with signs that read 'Gun Free Zone.' Project Veritas put that same concept to the test with some of America's most fervent advocates for gun control."
Organizing as Citizens Against Senseless Violence, Project Veritas' citizen journalists went door-to-door in New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. to see which outspoken champions for Gun Control would be willing to declare their own home as a "Gun Free Zone" by placing a sign on their lawn.

Experimentation on the masseter of cadaver by A.Tenenbaum
Interpretation of the experimentation on the masseter of the cadaver using Endopeel
Experimentation made by Dr.Alain Tenenbaum,Facial Plastic Surgeon,Switzerland
Interpretation made by Sr.Mauro Tiziani, molecular biologist,Switzerland
Considering the experiment of Tenenbaum, we can conclude that the cellular organization is a signaling complex system, such as a battery is charged, via the signaling protein transport and the ionic depolarization, with signaling from the extracellular matrix, which undergoes a series of modulations, mainly from germ cells, by growth, survival and
death factors, interacting via the informations provided by the genome, through the m RNA.
There are at stake, the macromolecular complex mechanisms, along with its genetic apparatus, the latter located on chromosome in the nucleus, which in a special way in somatic cells, have a mitotic cycle limited in a replicative number.
These mechanisms with the related genetic factors, with time, undergo an irreversible disorder, caused by the
oxidation of protein factors that provide energy to the system.
The example of superoxide is indicative,

The Director of WA's premier adult medical research institute has praised the vision of the Australian government in passing legislation for the Medical Research Future Fund in the Senate.
Professor Peter Leedman from the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research said that the MRFF would deliver more than $400 million in disbursements to researchers over the next four years, building to $1 billion per year within the decade. Effectively the MRFF would lead to a doubling of investment by the federal government into health and medical research in the next 10 years.
"This is a transformational and landmark event in the history of medical research in Australia," he said.
"It is essential that we have adequate support for our dedicated researchers to take their work well beyond just the next grant cycle."
"It is accepted internationally that a major foundation for an excellent, high quality healthcare system is a robust and sustainable medical research industry. Vibrant health and medical research cultures within hospitals and primary care lead to great medicine, with the best outcomes. With the establishment of the Medical Research Future Fund, we have an extraordinary opportunity to foster this across the entire sector," he said.
Professor Leedman said that it was a very stimulating time for medical research as new technologies, such as genomics, were revolutionising how researchers made discoveries and advanced these findings at a more rapid rate than ever before.
"The next few years will be an exciting time for Australian science as we, including the Perkins, embrace the technology and apply it to more rapidly develop new ways to better diagnose and treat human disease – we will work towards introducing "precision medicine".
Professor Leedman said that survival rates for many cancers had improved as a direct consequence of medical research; for example, the cervical cancer vaccine and advances in the treatment of breast cancer and melanoma. But for some cancers, such as liver, pancreatic and some types of breast cancer, the prognosis remained poor, and it is these tumours that the Perkins was very interested in.
"We hope that the MRFF will also help Australian researchers make major advances in cardiovascular disease and diabetes, including heart attacks, stroke and blood vessel diseases, which remain the main cause of death in Australia for both men and women."
Professor Leedman said it was a wonderful outcome for all Australians, especially those involved in the medical research and medical sectors and our scientists and clinicians of tomorrow who would have new and exciting future research opportunities to pursue as a consequence of the MRFF investment.

2007-02-19 — V-WorldWide Takes Track Racing to The People With Its Portable V'drome
Rochester Hills, Michigan, U.S.A — V-WorldWide, Inc. has began construction on a portable velodrome that will be suitable for indoor and outdoor use and will be transportable anywhere in North America. Its size and shape will be similar to the famous velodrome in Gent, Belgium.
The 166 meter V'drome, designed by V-WorldWide principal Dale Hughes, will be completed for rental by September of 2007 and will provide an opportunity for communities without cycling facilities to experience the sport without having to invest major money. It is designed for use in existing facilities, such as a local football field, soccer stadium or an indoor arena.
"We want to make the sport available to people at a cost that is affordable. The V'drome provides any promoter — individuals, business or local club, a chance to tap into track racing's growing popularity," said Hughes.
The V-WorldWide V'drome will feature the company's trademark steel undercarriage, finished with a wood/resin riding surface. It will be shipped via two transport trucks. On site, it will take two days to install and one day to disassemble.
Hughes initiated a drive to bring back indoor board track racing when he designed and built his first — and the country's only portable — velodrome in the late 1970s. The 125m Madison Velodrome was the venue for the first-ever U.S. Madison National Championships and was transported and erected in arena's around the nation. The new V'drome will be faster to erect, smoother to ride and more exciting for racing, says Hughes.
"The 125m was fun but it was a little too small," he said, "At 166m, the racers will be able to go full on and have fun doing it. That makes it more enjoyable for the spectators, too. Also the 166 will easily fit into existing local sport venues or high profile places...the Palace in Detroit, Madison Square Garden in New York."
V-WorldWide's announcement comes on the heels of the successful reception of the 250m record-breaking velodrome the company designed and built for the 2006 Asian Games, held in December in Doha, Qatar. The company also built the velodrome for the 2002 Asian Games in South Korea as well as the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. It currently has a number of velodromes under construction, including the International Training Center in Sri Lanka, another in China and several in the U.S.
V-WorldWide will also offer guidance to local promoters who need assistance with the event staging and promotion. "We want to make sure that those who rent it experience success. We are the experts not only in velodrome design, but in event design as well," he said.
For more information on the V'drome, contact Hughes at 248-961-3705 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. For rental information on the V'drome, contact Jon Hughes at 248-961-3701 or email him at email@example.com.

I've just found that overflow tank's lid has been opened by itself. I dont know how long maybe four months since I bought it. Coolant level is now above the full mark.
Does it cause any damage to the engine? What I have to do next? Do I need to drain it and then replace it with the new coolant? Do I need to wash engine for avoid damage from coolant that spilt from the opened overflow thank?

Woo, it's another hot summer day on June 22nd! I've been drawing so much during this day, my fingers have come to a halt. To rev up your skills, sharpen your pencils, get some paper, and patience to create easy dragons you could possibly draw on your own. I'm a huge fan of these creatures, and I've incorporated them in lots of my work. Drawing dragons for kids should be an easy task, since I've created simple steps to enable any artist to draw them. Make sure your full of confidence as you draw so things will get spicy awesome! I really hope you'll like this tutorial since I've had a lot of fun finding a unique color scheme for the dragon in the preview. I've included a few awesome dragons in this tutorial, so you'll never fail the fun. Anyways, I'll be going now, it's time for me to write out my other tutorials. I hope you'll enjoy this tut as well as I have. Don't forget to show me your dragon drawings down the line, to see if this tut was easy enough. Thanks for viewing!....
Lets begin with this long, but helpful tutorial on drawing a dragon for kids. We will start with the dragon that is in the thumbnail. Start by making a round shape for the head, and then add a long neck line. Once that is done attach the neck to the body shape which sort of looks like an egg. Add one tail line, and then move along to step two.
Now that you have the guides all drawn out, start drawing the head structure. This is basically thickening the lines you already drew, but then add the shape of the nose.
Next, draw the horns, and then make the shapes for the eyes.
All you have to do here is draw in the eyeballs, and then color in two nostrils, and a crease on the bridge of the nose.
Now you will be drawing out the body starting with the thick neck. Move along to draw out the body, and then draw the back end of the dragon until it comes out looking like a pillow.
Here you will draw out the front legs and then the cute posed front feet. Be sure that the tips of each finger is pointed.
Draw in the belly and then draw the hind leg, foot, talons, and then the short stubby dragon tail.
Now that your dragon is all drawn in, you can now just simply clean up the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one, and then draw out the wings.
This is what your dragon looks like when you are all done. Now you can have fun picking a shade to color it in. Proceed onto the helpful steps that will also show you how to draw a dragon with frills, and how to draw a dragon head.
Start with a shape for the head, and then draw a neck. Next, draw out the body shape which kind of looks like a rock.
Begin shaping out the face which is just the jaw line, and nose. When that is done move to the next step.
Now you will draw out the frills and if you look closely they look a lot like fish fins. Draw the frills on the sides of the head, and then on top of the head. Finish drawing out the head before moving to the next step.
Draw in the shapes of the eyes, and then draw the slitted pupils. Add dashes for the nostril holes, and then begin drawing out the body and tail the way you see it done for you here.
Now draw in the front and back legs, as well as the chest, and stomach. Be sure you take your time so you end up with this awesome looking dragon.
Now all you have to do is draw out the toes for the feet and then draw the detailing swirls on the elbows and knees.
Erase the guides and shapes you drew in the first step, and then draw out the one wing.
Now for the dragon heads. Make two shapes that are sort of odd in lining. Add the facial guidelines to the head on the right.
Now begin sketching out the structure of each head the way you see it done here, and notice how the two are very different in appearance.
Continue to draw out the heads. The one on the left needs to have the nose and mouth drawn in, and the head to the right has the jaw line and eyes all drawn in too.
Color in some eyeballs, and then draw out the tongue for the dragon head to the left. When that is done continue to draw out the head of the dragon to the right as well as the head frills.
Draw out the shapes of the necks, add some detailing and you are all done. Erase the guides and lines from the first step to clean up the drawing.
You have finished this full tutorial on how to draw a dragon for kids which includes the body and head. Hope you enjoyed this lesson and I also hope you learned something new.

Possibly you possibly can't think about the worth of a airplane ticket, and aren't even considering a vacation. Airlines and businesses have lengthy denied that they leverage buyer information to display an preliminary low fare then switch it out with a higher value once they know you are excited by shopping for a ticket. The recognition of Costa Rica has increased immensely and more airways are competing with many extra flights.
You can even discover low cost airfare deals by yourself through both the web travel websites or by calling the airways themselves. Please retain your ticket copy and boarding passes in the event you want them later for proof of your flights (to accumulate frequent flyer miles, for example).
This fashion that helps to barter and cut back the cost of airfares. If you happen to're a person who typically travels quite a bit and needs to take advantage of extraordinarily cheap airfares, this isn't a foul deal in any respect. In this travel package we flew from Kuala Lumpur low cost carrier terminal to Danang International Airport.
Hopper provides travellers with the data they should get the best offers on flights, and notifies them when prices for their flights are at their predicted lowest factors. An enormous variety of people would like to know find out how to get low-cost airline tickets however sometimes the answer is correct beneath their nose.

NMC expects to welcome 150,000 visitors annually in its brand new 160,000 square-foot facility
2,000 rare artifacts belong to NMC's collection, which spans over 450 years of music technology and innovation
9 towers gather to form the body of the building
The skybridge that connects the east and west blocks rises 65 feet above the street
Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre (NMC), is virtually all things to all (music-loving) people: rich archive of exhibitions, performance space, recording studio and a general mecca for the musical community. The dramatic architecture of the complex, which bridges two building blocks and cradles the historic King Edward Hotel, has become a dazzling fixture in Calgary's East Village.
The NMC traces its roots back to the installation of a pipe organ in Calgary's Jack Singer Concert Hall in 1987. From there it evolved into a number of incarnations, including the Cantos Music Museum which finally became the National Music Centre in 2012.
NMC's collection has more than 2,000 rare instruments and artifacts, and is also home to three Canadian halls of fame – the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. Visitors to Studio Bell, which opened Canada Day 2016, will see one of the earliest electronic instruments – the Ondes Martenot – which took 10 years to find. Also on display are the piano on which Elton John created his first four albums and Randy Backman's 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar on which he wrote and recorded the iconic Guess Who song American Woman.
Studio Bell includes a museum space, a 300-seat performance venue, multiple reception areas, broadcast facilities, a distance learning education centre and classrooms, and a café and retail space. It also has a recording facility that features three historic recording consoles, including the legendary Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.
The King Eddy is considered to be the largest artifact in NMC's collection. Built in 1905, the Eddy was a popular live music venue, earning the reputation of Calgary's 'Home of the Blues' in the 1980s. Closed in 2004, the hotel is now fully renovated and features live performances.
"We are truly proud to be a supporter of the National Music Centre, whose new facility will serve as a focal point for music lovers and makers alike," says Paul Desmarais, Jr., Chairman and Co-CEO of Power Corporation. "We now have a national venue to help share Canada's remarkable music story."
"Now that Studio Bell has opened to the public, we can begin to unite Canadians through the power of music and our heritage," says Andrew Mosker, President and CEO of NMC. "We are pleased to recognize Power Corporation's support in the Made in Canada stage, an exhibition space that will inspire generations of music lovers through the landmark moments that have defined music in Canada. Thanks to the support of organizations like Power Corporation, we have been able to make this dream of building a home for music in Canada a reality."

sooo tired!
>> Saturday, August 1, 2009
The kids and I started out the day by going downtown. The first Saturday of the month, the city blocks off one of the streets, and parking garages to hold a farmers & flea market.
We had a good time looking around, although it was VERY hot, and I was brilliant enough to wear jeans.
I couldn't handle both kids alone in that setting...well I CAN, it's just better not to chance things with all the breakables, so C had to sit in the stroller the whole time, which he didn't like.
I got some AWESOME homemade strawberry and fig preserves, and K got a new tutu and matching headband.
When we left, I headed over to my grandmom's where I spent the entire afternoon cleaning out my car...which wouldn't have been soo bad, except for the fact that it was about 300 degrees outside! ugh

BANGALORE: In the run-up to the Assembly polls in the state of Karnataka, former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah are scheduled to visit the state for their election campaign, later today.
MYSORE: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's allegations over the Mahadayi river dispute, and said that the decision over the issue has to be taken by the Prime Minister, and not former Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
BANGALORE: Chamundeshwari and Badami have become the most talked about constituencies in political circles across the country as Karnataka goes to polls on May 12 to elect a new Assembly. The two Assembly segments have aroused curiosity not because Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is seeking perhaps his last mandate from there alone but because the contest here will be a pointer to the post-poll political alignments.
BANGALORE: With Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stealing its caste card and its chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa and the Reddy brothers depriving it of the anti-corruption plank, the Bharatiya Janata Party is focusing on development to win the crucial Assembly elections on May 12.
BANGALORE: The assets of 50 re-contesting MLAs in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly with assets above Rs.10 crores in 2013 have gone up by over 60 percent during their term. While two top rich MLAs, Priya Krishna (Govindraj Nagar) and N Nagaraju (Hosakote) have become billionaires, three joined the Rs.100-crore club during the tenure of the Siddaramaiah government. All the five re-contesting MLAs belong to the ruling Congress Party.
BANGALORE: The assets of members of the Siddaramaiah ministry has nearly doubled in five years. Analysis of the assets declared by 31 of the 33 ministers while filing their nomination for the May 12 Assembly poll showed that their average income had increased from Rs.36.76 crores in 2013 to Rs.70.42 crores in 2018, marking a 91.6 percent increase.
BANGALORE: At a time when the political temperature in Karnataka is soaring and the Lingayat issue is adding on to the heat, Siddalinga Swami, the junior pontiff of the influential Lingayat - Siddaganga mutt, clarified that "the mutt only blesses politicians for their future endeavours and does not make any attempt to influence the voters."
BANGALORE: The mercury continues to rise in Karnataka, literally and figuratively, as the date of assembly election is just 3 weeks away, and today is the last day for filing nomination papers for the 224 seat assembly. The last date for withdrawal of nomination is 27th April and the voting will be conducted on May 12.
BANGALORE: The number of candidates with criminal cases entering the poll fray in the State is witnessing a steady increase over the years. According to an analysis of 498 candidates fielded by the three major political parties in the state by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), 95 candidates with criminal cases pending against them have been re-nominated to contest the Assembly election on May 12.
BANGALORE: Luring the electorate with promises and trying to swing the mood of the public with high pitched religious and caste based volatile speeches is nothing new in Indian politics, and the same may be said about trading cash for votes, an unscrupulous but rampant practice which the Election Commission has a hard time keeping a check on.
BANGALORE: Paying tribute to Basaveshwara, the revered Lingayat philosopher of the 12th century, at Albert Embankment on the bank of the Thames River, PM Modi did what best he could to woo the powerful and well connected Lingayat community in Karnataka, the state which goes to polls on May 12th.
BENGALURU : Battleground Karnataka is witnessing things heating up as 12th May, the date of assembly election in the state is drawing near. After announcing the names of 72 candidates on April 7, the BJP has now announced the name of 82 more candidates for the election. Amit Shah,
BENGALURU : Karnataka's ruling Congress on Monday set up a special cell to quell the revolt brewing in the party from a dozen sitting legislators and scores of aspirants whose names did not figure in the 218 candidates declared to contest the May 12 assembly elections.
Karnataka Assembly Election 2018: Angry over ticket distribution, Congress workers vandalise party office
MANDYA: The Congress workers on Monday vandalised the party office here, to protest against the distribution of tickets for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections. The Congress Party released its first list of 218 candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections on April 15.
BANGALORE: Both Congress and BJP are trying to up their game as the date of assembly election in Karnataka is nearing. Determined to gain as much traction as possible before ending their respective campaigns, national heads of both parties, Rahul Gandhi (Congress) and Amit Shah (BJP), have made several trips to the state, trying to establish connect with the masses, and particularly meeting religious luminaries in an attempt to please different groups.
BANGALORE: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Monday slammed the Congress on continuing its "legacy" of giving electoral tickets to family members and not inducting a new face ahead of the crucial elections in Karnataka next month.

Invisicon® Carbon Nanotube Technology
Date Added
1 January 2007
Country of Origin
"The secret to Invisicon™ is in the nature of Carbon Nanotubes. These remarkable structures allow us, through our proprietary purification and coating processes, to create unique conductive structures. Our conductive Nanotubes have roughly a 1000:1 aspect ratio, which gives us the ability to apply a very small amount of the material to achieve good conductivity, such a small amount that when applied to transparent films it does not significantly degrade light transmission."
Supporting Info URL
"The search for the ideal transparent electrode for flexible displays in lieu of the brittle and expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode continues. Single-wall carbon-nanotube (SWNT) coatings, especially on plastic films, are a viable alternative to ITO for flexible-display applications, offering superior durability and flexibility, ease of processing (wet coating and patterning), low reflectance, and neutral color" Peltola et al. (2007)
"Transparent and electrically conductive coatings and films have a variety of fast-growing applications ranging from window glass to flat-panel displays. These mainly include semiconductive metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped and stabilized with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS). In this paper, we show alternatives to ITO and conducting polymers, using single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT). These CNT-based technologies offer conducting substrates having a broad range of conductivity, excellent transparency, neutral color tone, good adhesion, abrasion resistance, and flexibility. Additional benefits include ease of both processing and patterning. This paper reports on optoelectronic properties and structure characterization of these materials." Trottier et al. (2005)

A New Hampshire judge has ruled that there's enough evidence to move forward with a second-degree murder case against a father accused of killing his 3-year-old daughter in Concord last year.
Prosecutors on Tuesday alleged that 22-year-old Jocarl Bureau had physically abused his daughter, Jayleah, for months before she died in March 2016.
Police had found the girl unresponsive and she later died at a hospital. An autopsy revealed she suffered blunt force trauma to the abdomen and her death was ruled a homicide.
Prosecutors allege the girl had told family members her father gave her bruises when asked about them.
Bureau's defense argued there isn't enough evidence to demonstrate that he was responsible for his daughter's death.
Bureau's case has been moved to Merrimack County Superior Court.
