Ever since Ron Hextall took over as the Philadelphia Flyers general manager, the team has practiced drafting and developing. Hextall has selected 34 players from NHL Entry Drafts between 2014-2017. The Flyers arguably possess the deepest crop of young talent in the NHL.
The following list consists of ten Flyers prospects that fans should follow closely during the 2017-18 campaign.
Mikhail Vorobyev (C)
If there was one prospect that grabbed Flyers fans' attention over the course of last season, it was Mikhail Vorobyev.
Last season, the 6'2" center cemented himself a third-line spot in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), which is widely regarded as the second-best hockey league in the world . It was an impressive feat for a youngster like Vorobyev.
His 11 points in 44 KHL contests with Salavat Yulaev Ufa does not sound very impressive to the average hockey supporter. Where Vorobyev really caught the eyes of Flyers fans was at the 2017 World Juniors. Vorobyev was a standout at the WJC for Team Russia, leading all players with 10 assists in 7 games.
Vorobyev decided to sign an entry-level contract with the Flyers instead of re-signing in the KHL. The native of Ufa, Russia, will be AHL-bound in 2017-18.
Vorobyev will likely be a middle-six center for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season. The 20-year old owns superb vision and passing ability, while playing a strong 200-foot game.
If Vorobyev proves that he can excel on North American ice, the former fourth-round pick could see himself in a Flyers uniform as soon as 2018-19.
Maksim Sushko (RW)
While his numbers last season will not blow you away, 2017 fourth-round selection Maksim Sushko may be primed for a breakout campaign.
Last year was Sushko's first in North America. Sushko played on a deep squad, the Owen Sound Attack. The Belarusian winger managed to register 32 points in 54 regular season contests, while adding 11 points in 17 playoff games. Perhaps Philadelphia's scouting staff believes that last season was a transition year for Sushko, and that playing on a talented team kept his ice time and point totals lower than what he is truly capable of.
Barring injury, he is a lock to represent Belarus at the 2018 World Juniors in December.
Although Owen Sound are expected to be one of the Ontario Hockey League's (OHL) top teams in 2017-18, Sushko may have an opportunity to take on a larger role. It will be intriguing the see how the 6'0" forward fares in his second OHL season.
Wade Allison (RW)
If there is one thing the Flyers may be lacking in their system, it's a high-end sniper.
Wade Allison may be that guy.
Allison wrapped up his freshman year at Western Michigan University tallying 29 points in 36 games. Plucked in the second round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Allison owns a lethal release and shot.
Expect Allison's point totals to hover around the point-per-game mark in 2017-18, but the 19-year old will need to add more consistency to his game. Nevertheless, it will be exciting to watch the 6'2" right winger develop into what the Flyers hope is a high-volume shooter.
Matej Tomek (G)
Following two frustrating seasons at the University of North Dakota, Matej Tomek is finally heading elsewhere.
Tomek will play for the Waterloo Blackhawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL), where he is hoping to turn his career around. The USHL is composed of players 20 years of age or younger, so it will be a great opportunity for the Slovakian goaltender to get some games under his belt. Tomek will undoubtebly be the No.1 goalie for Waterloo.
The Flyers had high hopes for the 6'3" netminder after selecting him in the third-round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He has yet to live up to the hype, but he is still young enough to get his career back on the right track. After this season, Tomek has the option to sign with the Flyers or return to the NCAA to finish up the two years of collegiate eligibility he has remaining.
David Kaše (RW)
This upcoming season will be absolutely crucial for Flyers 2015 fifth-round pick David Kaše.
Kaše has spent the past two seasons in the Czech Extraliga with Piráti Chomutov. He did not receive a great amount of ice time, as he often centered Chomutov's fourth line. When the skilled forward did get the occasional opportunity to play in the top-6, Kaše proved that he could produce at a decent level. In 32 games last season in the top Czech league, the 20-year old recorded 8 points.
Kaše elected not to re-sign with his native country Czech Republic for 2017-18. Instead, he has taken his talents to Scandinavia to play for Mora IK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). The SHL is regarded as the third best league in the world by some, whereas the Czech Extraliga is a notch below.
Despite the fact that he will be playing at a higher level, Kaše will receive more ice time in the SHL than he did with Piráti Chomutov. Mora IK were recently promoted to the SHL this summer. As a result, they do not possess an especially strong roster compared to the lineups that fellow SHL teams can boast.
Kaše, who was once seen as a second-round talent in the eyes of some scouts, has to prove that he has a future in Philadelphia's organization.
Morgan Frost (C)
At the 2017 NHL Draft, the Flyers traded Brayden Schenn to St.Louis for Jori Lehtera, a conditional 2018 first round pick, and the 27th pick of the 2017 draft. With that 27th selection, GM Ron Hextall opted to draft skilled playmaker Morgan Frost.
Frost played on a deep Soo Greyhounds squad last season, yet still managed to produce 62 points in 67 regular season games. The Greyhounds lost a lot of talent from last season, as high scoring forwards Zachary Senyshyn, Bobby MacIntyre, and Blake Speers all turn pro this season. As a result, Frost will have an expanded role in 2017-18.
Hextall raved about Frost's hockey sense following the draft, saying that the 5"11 center is "an extremely intelligent player and dissects the game better than most players."
Frost is at least a couple years away from the NHL, but if he continues to develop quickly and scores at a high rate in juniors, fans will see him in the orange and black sooner rather than later.
German Rubtsov (C/LW)
German Rubtsov's draft+1 campaign was filled with ups and downs.
Rubtsov finally came into his own when he joined the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) late in the season. The 6'0 forward registered 22 points in 16 games before a hand injury forced him to miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs.
The 19-year old is eligible for the AHL this season, but considering the depth on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms roster and Rubtsov's injury history, the QMJHL seems like the most likely destination for Rubtsov in 2017-18.
Rubtsov should be able to light up the QMJHL with ease. Chicoutimi is not expected to be a great team this year, so trading Rubtsov to a contending QMJHL team at some point during the season is not out of the question.
The Flyers 2016 first-round pick will certainly join Team Russia for the 2018 World Juniors, barring injury.
As long as he stays healthy, it will be interesting to see how well Rubtsov develops over the course of the 2017-18 season.
Felix Sandström (G)
Flyers fans are expecting that either Carter Hart or Felix Sandström is the future between the pipes.
We know what to expect from Carter Hart this year in the Western Hockey League (WHL). He won 'Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Goaltender of the Year' two years ago and has won 'WHL Goaltender of the Year' in back-to-back seasons.
But what about Sandström?
The native of Gävle, Sweden, took big strides in the SHL last season, holding his own in 22 regular season games and appearing in 13 playoff contests for Brynäs IF. Sandström represented Sweden at the 2017 World Juniors, where he was named goalie of the tournament.
After re-signing with Brynäs IF for one more season, Sandström will split time with veteran netminder David Rautio in 2017-18.
Unfortunately for Sandström, he will miss the first couple weeks of the SHL season recovering from a minor surgery.
Hopefully Sandström can take yet another step forward at the SHL level this season, as it could very well be his last in Europe before pursuing his NHL dream in North America.
Philippe Myers (RHD)
Philippe Myers has gone from going undrafted, to being cut from Calgary Flames development camp, to becoming one of the best defense prospects on earth.
Myers had an excellent season in junior, recording 35 points in 34 games for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the QMJHL. The smooth-skating blueliner turned heads at the 2017 World Juniors, as he manned Canada's top defence pair with Thomas Chabot before being concussed by Minnesota Wild prospect Luke Kunin.
Since Travis Sanheim has one year of AHL experience, while Sam Morin and Robert Hägg each have multiple, Myers' chance to crack the Flyers roster out of camp seems slim. Assuming he gets sent down, Myers will slide into a top-4 role in the AHL for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Wherever he plays, it should be exciting to watch the 20-year old develop over the course of 2017-18.
If Myers' transition from junior to pro goes smoothly, fans across the NHL are going to start wondering how this 6'5" defenceman went undrafted.
Pascal Laberge (RW)
Pascal Laberge has faced a lot of adversity in the last two years alone.
His stepmother passed away at the start of his draft year. Last season was a nightmare for him as well. Laberge suffered a major concussion which caused his point totals to take a nosedive.
In his draft year, Laberge racked up 68 points in 56 regular season games in the QMJHL. 2016-17 was a different story, as he tallied a mere 32 points in 46 matches.
The former second-round pick will return to the Victoriaville Tigres of the QMJHL this season. Victoriaville is expected to be a contender, but a lot will depend on whether or not Laberge can bounce-back.
The native of Châteauguay, Québec, gained approximately 15 pounds of muscle this summer, according to the Victoriaville Tigres general manager.
If Laberge returns to the dynamic offensive threat he was in his draft year, he may have a chance to represent Canada at the 2018 World Junior Championship.
Here is a list of all Philadelphia Flyers prospects and the teams they will play for this season (Note: this assumes Nolan Patrick and Oskar Lindblom make the NHL roster).

Adam Davidson on the government shutdown, and why it's economically "suicidal"
In December 2012, Planet Money co-host Adam Davidson stopped by the TED office to talk about the fiscal cliff. At the time, the U.S. Congress was weeks away from a deadline to set a course on federal debt, and head-butting was at a fever pitch. As Davidson explained, the disagreement was simple: Democrats see increasing […]Continue reading

I was in Washington, DC, for a couple days. The first two days I was there, I never got farther than a frisbee throw from the hotel, but I did manage to get out for a few hours on my last day. I hadn't gotten much in the way of recommendations1, because literally everybody who had an opinion hated DC (with one exception, but I didn't hear from that party until I was on the plane home). Yes, our nation's capital city garners feedback like:
Enjoy yourself down there, to the extent such a thing is possible/practical.
the hotel bars are where it's at in DC--they all have their own weird, mildly off-putting vibes
I couldn't afford anything but canned beans and frozen berries the summer I was there so I literally did not try the food.
However, the hotel bar advice was both spot-on and well-targeted (my favorite bars are airport bars, with hotel bars maybe third on the list) and my own Noodles did come through with one perfect suggestion: try the Hirshhorn. And so, on my last day in town, when I finally dragged myself out of bed after a Rangers-fuelled hangover and endured a mildly hellish cab ride, I found myself wandering around looking at sculptures. An activity I literally could not review in more positive terms.
I did a couple laps around the building before starting to take any pictures. Needed time to think and to get into the groove of looking at the things.
The first one to pull a reaction out of me, Geometric Mouse made me say -- aloud, to no-one -- "Oh, I get it." Not my proudest moment, as it's a wonderful piece, and not a hacky one-liner; but the aesthetic response is sometimes a little slow to awaken to its fullest. A particularly nice thing about this one is that it flatly forces you to orbit it: you can just tell that there's an angle you're really going to like. It took me a couple minutes to decide on the one in the photo above, which I probably like best because it's the one that makes the wit the most apparent. Something about the chains also compels my eye to them, but I haven't figured out just what yet.
I've seen some of these before, and they never fail to compel my eye and brain. A lot of what I like about sculpture is embodied in these: incredible physicality, with one material evoking and highlighting another, with bronze looking like clay looking like something intensely organic, nearly living, and the inescapable sense of heaviness and density. (They're hollow, I discovered, which adds another layer to the tensions between what they are and what they appear to be.)
Soft, erupting eggs and slashed flesh, represented in cold metal. I could look at these all day.
This one was a perfect fit for its location: all the vantage points you can see it from enforce its perspectival trick, where it seems to be narrowing more and faster than is possible. (Stepping back a ways would ruin the effect.) It's also one of those engineering/architectural pieces that you could stare at for a million hours just wondering how it...works. Mechanical without being cold, rigorous and passionate. A device carefully built to fuck with your head.
Just around the corner, and much more human-scaled, was Antipodes. This was compellingly textural, with its wood and holed copper. The literally cryptic textual elements in the curved metal gave it a coded feeling: instead of being conceptually evocative or challenging, like the pieces before it, which said "this is like that" or "does this make you think of that?", Antipodes seemed to say "I have a secret." I should probably have spent more time with this one, as it seems somewhat slight, beyond the trick of advertising its hidden meanings, but I was more in the mood for scale, particularly after Needle Tower.
Speaking of scale, I thought this one was a good but underwhelming example of the "here is a little thing rendered real big" school of sculpture, but upon circumnavigating it, realized it was much, much smarter than that. From the front, it's indeed just a big rendering of some little tools of bureaucracy. But from the back, you see that the tools become disturbingly evocative of human heads and shoulders, and that there's a strong implication of hierarchy, as the human stamps aren't just juxtaposed, they actually carve space right out of one another. From the front, it's a well-organized, if somewhat dull picture of human organization; but from the back, it shows disorganization and conflict. I liked this one quite a bit.
More distorted forms interacting. These are unsettling and somewhat alienating. The lumpy, vaguely fabric-like bottom halves contrast with the regular and realistic features of the admittedly blank faces. If Antipodes invited you to crack its code, Last Conversation Piece repels you from the very notion of listening in. The way the figures are distributed reinforces this repulsion, I think -- there's a palpable sense of exclusion and even evil here.
More scale! The Lichtenstein didn't do a huge amount for me beyond its exceptional size and verticality -- but in terms of verticality, it was tough to compete with Needle Tower, but it's certainly at the very least an exceptionally pretty sculpture, and provided a nicely light element. The Calder is a nice example of a huge, heavy, stationary thing appearing to be light, delicate, and nearly in motion. It's a Calder, in other words. The image doesn't properly show its size at all.
I spent a huge amount of time in the actual sculpture garden, across the street from the museum and the pieces arrayed around it, but didn't document it much. Suffice it to say that the garden was brilliantly organized, driving home the core experience of attending very closely to objects as they exist in time and in space. The layout of the garden invites lingering on one item at a time, and wittily stages things so that you're continually being surprised and taken off guard by motionless objects. The best example came of this at the end: I'd been instructed to look for a particular Barbara Hepworth piece, and I hadn't seen it at all. As I left the garden, planning to loop back to the museum itself, I saw this.
Catching it from behind, then coming around to it from the front, as it opened up, was the perfect way to see this. And at the end of several hours of similar experiences was a good time for it.
Much of the museum itself was closed. However, there was a large Barbara Kruger exhibit, which reminded me of seeing her work at the Denver Art Museum in high school. A nice memory. And the combination of Kruger's aesthetic and the building's facilities made me laugh aloud at least once.
And there were two interesting video art pieces. The first, Oliver Laric's Versions, was a nice video for people who enjoy fun with Google Image Search and witheringly saying "Uh, yeah, I've seen Debord's film Society of the Spectacle". The second, Jeremy Deller's English Magic, combined fat, powerful owls with some deeply whimsical music and an inflatable Stonehenge that I would like to have seen in real life.
After all that, essentially exhausted and done, I found that one large room had a hell of a lot of beautiful color field paintings, including Morris Louis' Delta Theta from 1961, among my favorites in the genre, and absolutely unreproducible. (Scale matters!) Reminded me strongly of our best museum day in Berlin, when we saw a number of these. Also reminded me that I ended up somehow with a Morris Louis bookmark of, I think, maybe, Vertical Horizon as a kid, around the same time of the initial Barbara Kruger visit to the museum. Being challenged to say what I liked about that bookmark really forced me to look at it, to learn how to look at it, and learn how to articulate how I was looking at it. To put it another way, trying to convince my mom that it was cool was the first moment at which I started thinking explicitly about form.
Anyway, I staggered out of the museum, went and walked toward the Washington Monument for a mile or so -- I'd never seen it from ground level, only from movies, which always show it from above, I suspect due to the limitations of the wide-not-tall movie screen -- and it was, from that perspective, much, much more...monumental than I'd ever thought before. It's also -- and this is not a dick joke -- much thicker than it looks from above. As I approached, I saw a cab, and I got in it; next thing I knew, I was writing Barbara Kruger postcards from an airport named after Ronald Reagan. Thus does art short-circuit time and enhance our days. Yay art!, the official significant form of Reviewiera.
--Fat, traveller
1To be fair, I did get a hell of a lot of restaurant recommendations, but I got completely hijacked by work functions and was unable to eat anywhere but the hotel, the shitty beer place next to the hotel, and the airport version of the shitty beer place next to the hotel. I'm never leaving California again.

Bio. Foredrag: Exoplanets and Life in the Universe
Tirsdag den 2. april 2019 kl. 19.00
Slangerup Bio, Brobæksgade 4, 3550 Slangerup
Foredrag:Expoplanets and Life in the Universe
Foredraget livestreames fra Aarhus Universitet.
Gratis entré
Midtvejs er indlagt en pause på 20 minutter.
The lecture is taught in English/Foredraget afholdes på engelsk.
Lecture by professor of astronomy and astrophysics, Natalie Batalha, Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA NASA recently announced the end of an era. After nine years of operation, NASA's Kepler spacecraft will be retired, but not without making an indelible imprint on humankind's understanding of the universe. Perhaps its greatest legacy is the knowledge that planets outnumber stars in the galaxy. With over 2,500 planet discoveries and another 2,000 awaiting confirmation, Kepler revealed a staggering diversity of worlds turning sci-fi fantasy into scientific reality. It also changed our collective perspective regarding the feasibility of finding evidence of life beyond Earth and catalysed efforts across the globe to reach that goal. In this illustrated, nontechnical presentation, astrophysicist and planet hunter, Dr. Natalie Batalha, the former project scientist for NASA's Kepler mission, will give an overview of Kepler's remarkable scientific legacy. She will highlight some of the key discoveries and share a preview of exciting follow-up missions in progress and on the drawing board. With the retirement of Kepler, we pass the baton and watch in anticipation as a new era of exploration unfolds.

It's Christmas! As I write this post I'm doing some last minute baking but needed to take a break between all the sampling. Actually, all the sugar, bloating and sprinkles have inspired me to create a Christmas Smoothie! Here's the recipe (if you dare) and holiday wishes from Live Lighter.
It's weird, hard to layer (as you can tell by the photo below) but, surprisingly, tastes better than a sugar cookie! Actually, because I used vanilla protein powder and vanilla-flavoured almond milk, it tastes more like a vanilla cookie. But I'll let you be the judge of that.
Before we get into the recipe…
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Wherever you are, whoever you're with, whatever you're doing, I'd like to wish you and yours a healthy, safe and (fairly) balanced holiday. 🙂
Are you ready for this smoothie recipe made from pomegranate seeds and spinach? I
know, it sounds and looks not-so-hot but come on, you'll thank me when it cleans you out from all the abundance of the seasonal festivities!
Christmas SmoothiePrint This
- 1 pomegranate, seeds only
- 1.5 cups, packed fresh spinach, washed
- 1 apple, cored and de-seeded
- 1 cup almond milk, vanilla-flavoured
- 2 scoops protein powder, vanilla-flavoured
- 0.5 cup filtered water
- Garnish: small candy cane
- Blend pomegranate seeds with a little water and pour into glass.
- Pulse gently milk and protein powder. Pour into glass slowly, along the side of the glass to attempt layered effect.
- Blend spinach, apple and a bit of water so that it's somewhat smooth and thick but thin enough to pour. Gently pour into glass like you did the milk.

Grand Teton Coming Home 2014
- Overall 90/100
- Appearance 21/25
- Aroma 23/25
- Taste 23/25
- Finish 23/25
This Belgian Style Quad is brewed on an annual basis around winter time by the Grand Teton Brewery located in Victor ID. This beer has a strong 10% ABV and a modest 27 IBU's.
I found this beer to pour out a nice burgundy color with a decent head that laced minimally on the glass. The aroma was rather pleasant as the caramel malt, and toffee showed through with the dark fruit, and sugary candy tones as well. When tasting this beer I found the caramel, and toffee to show up first while balancing well with the sugar, and sweet fruit finish. I also found the finish to contain a nice boozy taste, that warms the belly when tasting.
Overall this is a perfect sipping beer for the holiday's and I would recommend you pick a bottle up!

You've heard all about the International Day of Yoga. Now you can learn even more at its website.
From news coverage:
PARIS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a portal for the International Day of Yoga here, describing the ancient Indian spiritual practice as capable of awakening a sense of oneness.
Flanked by UNESCO Director General Irena Bukova, Modi officially launched the idayofyoga.org website after addressing a gathering at the UNESCO headquarters that included a large number of NRIs.
And without further adieu:
The website is right here. Have a look.

I was never in the Boy Scouts, but I'm minorly obsessed with their vintage regalia. I probably have 20 vintage Cub Scouts books and 200 badges. This one went for over $200 on eBay.

Edward Graham joins the Chicago Black Hawks (1930)Posted in vanishing America with tags chicago, hockey, Thirties, vanishing America on February 24, 2010 by All Conference Vintage
"Three-quarter length portrait of Chicago Black Hawks ice hockey player Edward "Teddy" Graham standing on an ice rink in a sports arena in Chicago, Illinois, holding a hockey stick. Secured from the Tulsa Oilers in a trade for Ralph Taylor."
1930 was just the fourth year of the Black Hawks' long and fabled history and their first in the brand new Chicago Stadium (1800 W. Madison)- the roars of which live on in echo at the new United Center across the street.
That 1930s Blackhawks sweater is a real charmer! Those "barber pole" stripes are really attractive and you can't beat that old school 'Hawks logo. But how hideous are those gloves! They look like gnarled hotdogs grafted on to oven mitts! They must have been difficult to drop in the event of an on-ice donnybrook since they go up to the elbow.
I can't imagine how brutal hockey was in 1930- the era before goalie masks, helmets, or much real padding.

Image of an astounding map of the route, grabbed from an ebay auction. Feel free to buy it for me! Check out Zazzle.com's ebay store for tons of incredible images. (uncompensated gushing endorsement- but I would graciously accept this map!) Tell them Bulldog Vintage sent ya.
I would love to convice the family to travel this route on our next vacation. Too bad it's not the Thirties or I would hitchhike it. I'd love to make a Twenties country music song about this route, an imagined pre-cursor to "Route 66". Anyone play fiddle and or washboard out there? I'll sing.

Good 7.8 From 52 reviews
The hosts were kind and helpful. The location was amazing. We were on the street side and it was very loud during the weekend. We enjoyed our stay.
Single room had a double bed which cramped the room. No hotpot like Hostel San Soles had. Still, a decent place and close to everything.
Very good place, best situation, Rosa, her husband and the staff make you feel like home. Laundry and ironing are the best and very affordable. We will back.
Great value for the price. Location is prime. 2min from metro station and train station. Great customer service and very helpful especially the lady. Not super noisy. I would go back to that hotel.

This week, Twitter annouced that it was looking into offering users a more 'curated', algorithmically-sourced newsfeed to it's users - whether they like it or not.
As a business, that's their prerogative, but I have to say that it's a mis-step from them in my opinion.
My reasons?
- It's not their newsfeed: people like to be in control of what they see, and everybody is different. Whilst I know that algorithms take this into account, I'd rather have the primary option of being able to control exactly what's in my newsfeed, and what isn't. Twitter is forgetting that we already have a way of curating our newsfeed: following and unfollowing.
- Social networks are top-down, but can be destroyed from the bottom-up: Social networks, as opposed to user-built (and even business-built) communities are traditionally ran in a top-down model: the guys at the top make the changes, and the guys at the bottom (the users) have to suck it. That may make people using the network think that they are powerless to stop this, but you only have to look through Silicon Valley's graveyard of failed social networking sites to see that the true power lies with the users. If you build it, they will come, but if you piss them off, they will leave.
- Media influencers and early-adopters are still crucial: Twitter has gained traction as a social platform with influencers and people working in the media like no other social network I have seen.
As a platform, it is genuinely transforming the way many media outlets get their news, and produce their content. It has become an essential part of the content-creation and news-sourcing loop because it appears to be a source completely unfiltered by any internal or external forces. Being able to pickup and follow the trail of a story as it develops across Twitter is one of the few mainstays of the constantly-evolving digital content age. If you curate what a journalist sees, or what a person sees, how can we trust you as a platform? How can we trust the fact that Twitter isn't going to start hiding controversial updates regarding #Ferguson? Or about #ISIS?
We already know that Twitter censors our newsfeeds in countries easily-offended by free speech - fine in principal if you dislike hate-speech, but what does removing that hate-speech, controversy and illegality really do? It certainly doesn't stop it from existing. It will just stop industrious people fighting it on the net, and acts as a sop to the 'down with this sort of thing' brigade, who would rather not have views expressed that they didn't agree with - on the left and the right of these debates. A journalist won't use a compromised news source - believe it or not (and I do), the vast majority go there for unvarnished facts, commentary and opinion. To remove that would remove one of the major benefits for using Twitter.

Discover your personal style
You may not know it yet but your style is likely to be one of the following: classic, modern, urban or rustic. We will help you discover which is more suited to your lifestyle so you are better able to choose décor items. Go through the profiles below and start to do your own DIY decor.
You love the latest fashion and are drawn to the clothing store windows with their fresh colour palates and excitement. If it's last season - it's out. You don't mind mixing some of those older pieces with your more modern palate.
You are drawn to warm creams, off whites and safer colours. You prefer to take risks on small items that you can change at little cost. Your artwork is traditional with muted colours and calm imagery. You may like adding antiques to your interior to keep the look traditional.
Anything that looks authentic will fit in your décor style. Natural wood flooring or tiles that give the look of wood will fit in well with your style. You like materials that have texture and depth. Your home could be on a forest estate or lakeside with comfort being top of mind.
Cool grays, concrete and textures inspired by the urban landscape excite you. You tend to go for more angular furniture pieces. Clutter is a no-no! You prefer a few simple pieces to do the talking. Natural blonde wood brings warmth into your environment.

Alcohol and Breastfeeding: Expert Answers to Your Questions
Parenting brings so many emotions along with it because we all want to do the best we can, but without that all-knowing handbook that doesn't exist, there are so many unknowns. The decisions can be huge and could affect our children for the rest of their life and well, who wants to mess up parenting?
Parenting a newborn has many responsibilities that are new: from learning their sleep cycle to understanding the different reasons they're crying, and if you're breastfeeding, that's learning a whole new skill as well.
When I was breastfeeding my first child and it wasn't going as simply as I had hoped, I realized there was more to it than I had predicted. I thought all you had to do was put baby to your chest and they'd know what to do — but there were so many more variables than I realized.
{ MORE: These 5 Foods Can Help When You Want to Make More Milk }
How would I know if my baby was getting enough to eat?
Do I need to change up my diet to make sure my baby is getting the best?
What about that glass of wine I love having so much? Is that out of the question now because I'm breastfeeding?
I had always heard that if you're breastfeeding you have to avoid alcohol — even in the smallest amounts. And, if you do want to enjoy a glass of wine or a cold beer, before you breastfeed again, you'll need to "pump and dump" — but was that really true?
I asked breastfeeding expert, Chrissy Bodin, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) living in Jacksonville, Florida to weigh in on alcohol consumption while breastfeeding and here are her answers to common questions:
It is safe to consume some alcohol while breastfeeding?
"The general rule is that if a mother is safe to drive, she is safe to breastfeed; when alcohol has dissipated from the bloodstream, it is also gone from her [breast milk]," Bodin told EverydayFamily.
Bodin continues, "Just as many variables affect how much alcohol is too much to consume before driving (body weight, amount of food consumed), the same variables apply to breastfeeding and drinking. If a woman can be trusted to know when to drive and when to call a taxi, she can be trusted to know if she is okay to breastfeed her baby."
But what about the risks to consuming too much alcohol while breastfeeding?
When it comes to too much alcohol while breastfeeding, there is a risk. Bodin shares, "Alcohol passes easily into mother's milk and, if consumed by the baby before the alcohol has left mother's milk and bloodstream, the baby will be exposed to alcohol while he nurses. Babies who are regularly exposed to alcohol have reduced cognitive skills and may not grow in height and weight appropriately."
It goes beyond just breastfeeding though, and Bodin explains that, "If a mother is too inebriated to breastfeed, she may also not be in the best position to carry her child, make safety decisions, etc."
{ MORE: Moms Can Now Find Out Exactly What Is In Their Breast Milk }
Do breastfeeding mothers need to "pump and dump"?
You see and hear this advice everywhere from popular television shows to the playground when you hear parents talking, but according to Bodin, there's no need to "pump and dump" after you've had alcohol, "Alcohol is not stored in breast milk, so there is no inherent need to pump and dump. If a mother's alcohol consumption requires her to wait to nurse her baby beyond the time her child needs to be fed, she may want to express her milk during that time to relieve fullness, but provided that the mother is not needing to skip a feeding on a regular basis."
Does drinking alcohol affect milk supply?
"Alcohol temporarily reduces milk supply. Generally, by the next day, the baby has made up for the temporary decrease in supply by nursing more often," says Bodin.
Alcohol, especially beer, was once recommended to increase milk supply. Alcohol does increase prolactin levels, a hormone responsible for milk production, and barley and hops are thought to have a positive effect on milk supply. However, alcohol inhibits another hormone, oxytocin, which is responsible for milk let down, and study after study seems to show a decrease in milk supply when mothers drink alcohol, including beer," advises Bodin. She recommends, "If a mother is looking for something to increase her supply, she may do well to stick with non-alcoholic beer or other folk remedies and galactagogues."
{ MORE: This Breastfeeding Barbie is So Inspiring }
Does it make sense to warn all mothers against any alcohol?
"Although it may seem like good advice to tell mothers to avoid drinking altogether, this actually puts the baby at greater health risk," Bodin shared with EverydayFamily. "It is well documented that breastfeeding is associated with a plethora of health benefits and putting unnecessary limits on a mother's social activities and enjoyments can put the baby at risk of early weaning. Mothers have been nursing their babies and drinking for millennia – the key isn't to avoid alcohol but to be aware of how to drink safely while parenting your child," Bodin states.

Nature's Jewels A - L .
Here I share these gems
From A right through to L;
Oh how wondrous is nature
Each jewel a magic spell.
Good day one and all ; today it is raining here in Wales.
Nothing new I must add.
However it is bright and sunny here in my haven as I share many more of life's jewels with you all.
Here are links to my other hubs in this series.
- The Jewels Of Life.
Each flower so precious; more than just weeds; my heart they do warm; my soul they do feed.
- More Jewels Of Life.
In treasures restful All precious jewels sparkle Flowing to my heart. Each gem so precious Bright day dreams exquisite Embracing nature.
- Many More Jewels Of Life.
Moments to treasure Life's canvas a magic spell Enchanted jewels.
- Jewels From Our Autumns.
To draw from her strength To embrace her true spirit Life's nectar golden. x Oh come hold my hand Nature's mature paradise Calling from her heart.
Today's song choice is 'Dacw' Nghariad' (Here Comes My Love)sung by Eve Goodman.
I love this song and it fitted in so well with the metre of my thoughts today.
Again I share the Blossom Tree
So fragile yet so strong;
A beauty so majestic
Oh how it does belong.
Here we spy the Bugle
Is that deep rich blue;
Enhancing all our world
Yes for me and you.
Columbines tall and proud
Lanterns of true pink;
Those tales of childhood
Does she make boys wink.
You have heard of daisies
Bot not the Daisy Double;
A magic so infectious
Never burst that bubble.
Here is a little rhyme
Of the sweet Eye Bright;
Hearts oh so happy
What a wondrous sight.
Now here comes a favourite
A Fuchsia full of grace;
Her posture oh so evident
To claim her rightful place.
I hear a little ditty
When the gorse is out of blossom
Then oh dearie me
Then kissing's out of fashion.
The dainty herb Twopence
or indeed the Creeping Jenny;
Time to make your wish
I'm sure ther will be plenty.
Have you seen our Iris
Embrace a running stream;
Her golden aura shines
Her smile is almost seen.
Our sweet little jasmine
Blossoms small and white;
Her scents do bewitch
Through the heart of night.
I know you have met
The famous Buttercup;
Well here is a cousin
The majestic Kingcup.
Oh Lily Of the Valley
Or Ladder To Heaven;
Embraces to the skies
Each moment of true wonder
Acrostic: Alphabet.
Lovely blossoms thrive
Perhaps a magic spell
Here I now share mine
A promise of tomorrows
Bright sweet scents entice
Embrace each of life's jewels
Take my hand and follow me.
Haiku: Jewels from my heart.
Jewels from my heart
With yours I will gladly share
Embracing sweet scents.
Each season compels
Eager hearts to lift and share
To share and to care.
Rictameter: Blossoms.
Sweet scents embrace
Awakenings from our hearts
With open arms greet and welcome
Take to your hearts each withering blossom
Sweet moments of sincerity
Days of awesome wonder
Oh sweet scented
I hope you enjoyed today's visit and lots of love to you all from my little corner of Wales.

This is such a beautiful site you have here, and your sweet poem above is evident of just that. And, your photos are a pleasure to behold, as well. I look forward to reading more!
very eloquent poetry with stunning pictures
Beautiful poetry and pictures. I listened to the video again as I read through some comments- just lovely and relaxing with flowers, music, poetic images! I really loved that mountains/valley and flowers picture.
Beautifully written :)
I had heard of eye bright before but I don't believe I had ever seen it. Some beautiful flower photos you have here.
Amazing photos.
l adore the song. sweet voice too. She sounds young.
Thanks for a marvellous hub.
you have exceptionally beautiful flowers in your side of the planet. I loved the sequence of the photos and especially the last one which tied all of your thoughts about these flowers together. The song produces a gracious mood. Everyone should wake up to a hub like this with such lovely music accompanying it. I love your mood and am sharing this hub:) I'm also posting it on my sister's FB page because she loves flowers and I think she will also love the music.
Beautiful hub Eddy, and great to see you back, nell
Waiting to read more. Thanks, Eddy.
I loved the concept - Nature's jewels from A to L. And your verses to go with the list - awesome!
Since only last week I have started compiling my alphabetical list of "nature's jewels" that K2 and I encounter during our hikes. For example, 'C' is for creek, 'G' is for grass, 'V' is for vultures, 'Z' is for Zinnias, so on and so forth.
I am so glad to be on this page that I can totally relate to due to my love for nature.
Stay happy!
Hey Eddy what's up? nice hub, well done i love the flowers ain't God a lovely designer. God keeps the wild flowers blooming we see his glory in his creation. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you are having a swell time in wales. Someday if the Lord tarry's i'd love to visit England but i am afraid of being in an aircraft so long. My sister visited twice 2012 and 2013. It's 10 hours journey from my country to yours
I always love your beautiful melodies of rhyme and such dazzling photos! Very good, ^+.
Love your new profile photo too~
What a nice grouping of interesting and well-written flower poems. I feel like I just strolled through a lovely garden! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Eddy…
I love nature, so this hub was the jewel of my day! Thank you, dear Eddy. :-)
Absolutely wonderful.
Eddy I was fascinated by the natural beauty of Wales. The photos were a tribute to nature. Your love for nature was incredibly brought forth in your poem. I enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome but as I said I was not sure.
Magnificent...lovely from beginning to end...you never disappoint, Eddy.
Shared and pinned
Angels are on the way to you today
Sorry for the rain outside Eiddwen, glad it is sunny inside. :-) This was wonderful. Great verses and song. I voted it up, across all of the way (except for F), Pinned and shared.
P.S. - I was not sure that I read two lines correct (in case you threw in some Wales): Right after 'Columbine'
"You have heard of daisies
But not the daily Double;"

Beautiful poems, video and images, Eddy. Gorse came to this country and became a weed, but I did not know it had that sweet perfume until walking among it on the cliff-tops in Wales.
A beautiful reminder to enjoy spring in all it wonder.. Thanks for Sharing
Always so beautiful. I love the beautiful flowers. Flowers have a way of bringing delight and joy such as you have displayed here. Wonderful.
My favorite here is the alphabet acrostic. Wonderful. Jamie
You have a way with making words blend so well. I'm a fan of haikus and enjoyed your rictameter since I like blossoms. Nature is so uplifting which you show nicely with these beautiful pictures. Nice job and enjoy the rest of your week. :)
Yes indeed, flowers are surely nature's gems, Eddy! Sharing!
What a beautiful nature you shared with us Eddy. I love this hub and you have choosen those pretty flowers. Thanks for sharing my friend. Have a nice day!
I have again bookmarked this beautiful hub which tells so much about very pretty flowers. Eiddwen, in the previous hub, I read about buttercup and now I knew kingcup-how wonderful ! And, flowers like bright eye, lily of valley, iris are so awesome. However, one flower jasmine is my favorite and the fragrance it spreads in the air is so heavenly and soul-uplifting ! If I find now myself more absorbed in the beauty of mother nature, I owe it to your beautiful poetry about such beautiful things of nature. I really loved reading these very wonderful and lovely poems displaying so deep affection for mother nature. A visit to your hub is like a visit to a heaven of bliss. Voted up.
What a beautiful selection of flowers arranged alphabetically that goes along with your wonderful poetry. Thank you for sharing.
I was so hoping I would be listed under B....sigh! I am trying to hide the disappointment. LOL
Wonderful message of beauty and hope, and the bounty of our lives. Bravo!
Beautiful, Eddy! An alphabetical tribute! What beautiful flowers. They are the upside to ask your rain! I Kidd the way you did the pictures, close up within! And I enjoyed the music. Thank you for a much needed list! Up++
Good wonderful day my little love blossom. It is raining like the dickens here in our desert. We really need God's water. But later today I will gather up my boy and go to AmVets and buy some blankets for there will be plenty out there with wet ones.
If the beauty of nature does not move us to do well, then we should re-examine ourselves.
I really enjoyed your hub. Beautiful flowers and lovely song. You brought a piece of Wales in my home.
You've shown two of my favorite flowers in this: Lily of the Valley and tulips. I can almost smell all the beautiful blossoms you bring in this series. I'm loving it, Eddy!
I particularly enjoyed the rictameter. Lovely job, Eddy.

Advance Fee Personal Loans Are A Scam - Do Not Fall For It
Internet marketing scores a secret intelligence coup. In late July AOL mistakenly released information about 20 million keyword searches made by its subscribers on the AOL network. More specifically the data gave us an inside look at the search patterns of around 658,000 AOL users over a three-month period. These searches represented 1/3 of 1% of all keyword searches on AOL during that period. Before you get put off by the supposedly small sample size you should be aware that most major media polls are done with samples of 1,000 subjects.

1878-P VAM-140 Doubled P, Partially Open O
Discovered by Leroy Van Allen, December 1965. Reverse discovered by Charles Wallace, April 1959.
Revised 2010, Revised 2014 by 4SDAIR EDS Specimen
140 (revised) II/I 18 - B2b (Partially Open O) (180, 189) I-2 R-4
Obverse II/I 18 - Earliest Die state used with reverse Die 1 before reverse polished die scratches.Latest die state after use with VAM-116 with fine crack from 1-2 left stars to 18.
Reverse B2b - Same as B2a, but with hub break fill which leaves open the upper part of o of God.
Die 1 - Die not over polished. Earlier die state than later use as VAM-140A with die scratches.and also before VAM-140 D2

Die 2 - Die over polished in area of wing feathers and eagle's right wing missing next to leg
Early die state which was later used with VAM-144 .
1. Progression of Obverse II I 18
2. Vampicker comments: The VAM 140 description was revised in correspondence from Leroy Van Allen dated Feb 28, 2010. The two reverse dies previously grouped into this listing were separated into VAMs 140 and 140A when a study of the obverse die's progression revealed the entire VAM 116 marriage progression occurred between the two marriages with B2b reverse dies. VAM 140 is now defined as the latest use of the II/I 18 obverse paired with an earlier use of the exact reverse of VAM-144 . Coins previously identified as VAM 140 should be re-examined to confirm the attribution. All examples of VAM 140 Die 2 have a fairly long crack from the inner points of the first two left stars thru the point of the bust and the digits 18 of the date. No example of 1878-P VAM-140A or VAM-140 Die1 will have this crack, as it was the earliest use of this obverse. This crack is also visible on VAM-116C.

140 Die 2
1. VAM-140 Die 2 Shares the exact reverse as VAM-144, In addition, the reverse should be either PL or DMPL. The earliest die states of VAM 144, which use the same reverse are 2-sided PL, which would infer a short paring with the II/I 18 obverse.

Nick Burns your company's computer guy
I enjoy every aspect of Telecom and Data solutions, being a network engineer but what gives a hard-on is owning the shit out the stupid hipsters that think they have IT qualifications " I hooked up my own router at home, I can be a IT guy" fucking morons dont even understand the network backbone and infrastructure, nor the way their ISP has set up DNS routing, everything has gotten a bit too simple its all plug and play, and a fucking CD with a small step-by-step guide. So simple a fucking hipster can do it.
well today I got a chance to put a smile on my face, since
yesterday a so-called "IT guy" from a small law firm called me
stating that he is unable to surf, when connected directly to CPE he can surf,
but when he tries to connect a router, he is not able to obtain a IP, so we
trouble shoot this is where the fun begins so I start monitoring my side, I can
see my modem is up and data is flowing getting 15mb down and 3mb up, I go
further lets see what he has plugged into my modem grab the MAC address
noticed its a Linksys WRT series router old G router, but I did notice right
off the back he was not pulling a IP, yup its the fucking router I made him
aware to check his setting on the router make sure he is not trying to manually
load a static IP from us, we are like every other company here we are Dynamic
so it will automatically assign a public IP from us, he stated that he has
checked his settings and he knows it's not his router, so since Im a nice guy I
went the extra step I told him here normally I would send my tech out he will
connect his laptop to it and he will be able to surf. He then will turn around and tell you that
the problem is with your router setting and trip charge you $85 dollars for
being a dumbass, but I told him to come into my office and Ill check out the
router and help you find a solution, so today comes the guy shows up as Im
having my morning tea at my desk I tell him to come over I have my work station
set up just in case I ever have to troubleshoot anything, I hook up my modem
and his router and I notice yup not surfing no problem, I log into the router
and I begin to almost burst out into laughter sure enough the guy is confusing
WAN and LAN, he has a internal IP address assigned to the IP routing list for
the WAN, so I tell him watch this I set the router to DHCP and just as a failsafe
I statically set our Primary and secondary DNS, click the save changes and TADA
!!! Surf! I had to explain to him how there is a difference between trying to
set a Wide Area Network address (WAN) you obtain from your ISP to a Local Area Network
(LAN) address you setup on your internal network, these are guys that get a
pretty fucking penny to sit around and do jack shit, and they cant even
troubleshoot fuck Im in a awesome business, love the down time, thanks for
listening to my rant sorry if I bored some of you! So for some entertainment I
used to love this skit from SNL

22 May Editorial Calendars and Why You Need Them
This blog post written and published by our Summer 2017 Intern, Mallory Corbin.
We are all procrastinators sometimes. It can be very easy to get sidetracked when you're trying to get things done. For me this is especially the case when it comes to writing. Whether it be for your blog, your book, or even your grocery list, sometimes you have to really force yourself to sit down and get things done. If you are responsible for creating content for your job, this discipline can be extremely important. But sometimes, pure willpower isn't enough.
An editorial calendar can be the key to success when you catch the procrastination bug. Like a cup of hot tea to a sore throat, your editorial calendar will soothe all of your worries. Your calendar will help you lay out exactly what you need to get done, and for when, for some months in advance. It can layout each step you have to take to complete a task. This can all start with brainstorming on Monday, to outlining on Tuesday, to writing on Wednesday, editing on Thursday, and finally publishing on Friday. An editorial calendar creates a kind of accountability for you, and possibly your team, that will work to keep you on schedule and committed to all of your due dates.
Choosing your system. Here at Writing It Right For You, we use an app called BrightPod to keep ourselves organized and on track. BrightPod makes it possible to create multiple editorial calendars for every project we may be working on at any given time. From there we are able to set due dates and publishing dates for things like blog posts and articles. Be sure to check out our recent post "Apps I Use: BrightPod" for more information on the app.
BrightPod is just one of hundreds of apps and softwares that can be used to create editorial calendars. Programs like Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets are very simple and easy to use options. There are some options which cost a pretty penny, while others are totally free for anyone to use.
Don't think that you have to use a digitized system, however. If you prefer a physical calendar over an online option, go for it! It's all about choosing a system that works for you. That means, it can be as fancy as using an expensive software, or as simple as color coding and sticky notes on paper.
Why you should be using one. If you haven't yet jumped up and started organizing your editorial calendar upon reading this post, here are a few other reasons that may get you onto the task:
- Minimal stress. You will have everything you need to do laid out for you, so you will never have to stress that you are forgetting something. Additionally, if you are running something such as a blog, you will have your topics ready. That means you won't have to stress about brainstorming new ideas on the spot.
- A road map to keep you organized. By laying out everything ahead of time, you will be able to stay organized and make time for new projects and your everyday life. Your editorial calendar will be your roadmap that will lead you through your day-to-day life.
- Notifications keep you on schedule. Most all editorial calendar apps will be sure to remind you in advance when you have things due. If you go the app route, each morning you can be reminded of what it is exactly you need to get done that day.
An editorial calendar is exactly what you need to keep you afloat when you are feeling like you may drown in due dates. There's no need to overcomplicate your life, once you find an editorial calendar system that works for you, stick to it, and you surely won't regret it.

In 2011, Key West suffered a breakout of Dengue Fever, which is unfold by mosquitoes. Between 3000 and forty nine,000 folks will die yearly because of the RNA influenza virus. When Zika Virus India seems in an area for the first time, it may well spread in a short time. There have been reports of some immune system disorders, corresponding to Guillain-Barré syndrome, following Zika Virus India an infection; this occurs not often and can even occur following different types of infections. Domestically transmitted Zika Virus India has additionally been reported in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The World Health Group has stated that Zika Virus India an infection is causally linked with microcephaly (incomplete brain development), different fetal malformations and Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
That stated, the CDC (Heart for Illness Control) says that Zika is likely to occur in the USA. There have been studies of congenital microcephaly in babies of mothers who had been infected with Zika virus when pregnant. Zika virus will proceed to spread and it is going to be difficult to determine how the virus will unfold over time. As a result of Zika virus has been ticking alongside for over 60 years – that we know of – in African countries – the inhabitants of affected areas will have already got some degree of immunity by attributable to fixed exposures, which the current thinking says are unnoticed 80{56b3979eea103425cf2eb9ef221bf8c68c1fbc18ac9c396f08244c2b3844bee5} of the time.
With no cases but discovered within the Buckeye State, physicians in Southern Ohio ordered a whole lot of test kits for Zika virus infection on February three, 2016. Housewife Dayana Danel, 31, who's seven months pregnant, has no Zika symptoms, but her husband wants her to be examined for it anyway, even if it prices him lots of of dollars. Zika virus was first reported outside Africa and Asia in 2007 where it brought on an outbreak in Yap State (Federated States of Micronesia). The skeeters here do not carry it so unless you journey, you will not get it. No circumstances, no deaths so Zika is looking good for the answer.
As well as, the WHO is advising that the Catholic church not prevent members from having abortions of Zika affected fetuses. Additional research is required to better understand the connection between Zika virus infections and neurological issues in new child infants. A group of medical doctors from South America at the moment are saying the mind deformations the world is witnessing are brought on by the mass fumigation of low-earnings Brazilian people with a chemical larvicide, not by mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus.
It seems that four individuals in Miami-Dade and Broward counties have been infected with the Zika virus by local mosquitoes, Florida well being officials said on Friday. Shinohara Ok, Kutsuna S, Takasaki T, Moi ML, Ikeda M, Kotaki A, et al. Zika fever imported from Thailand to Japan, and recognized by PCR in the urines. Ladies who get well from the infection are believed to proof against it, so no hurt can come to a new child. The CDC had previously urged testing for pregnant ladies who had been in one of the county's Zika 'scorching zones.' On Wednesday, it extended the recommendation to the complete county.
Thankfully, NIAID scientists had already created vaccine platforms for different flaviviruses that can be utilized as a starting point for a Zika vaccine. The Zika virus outbreak highlights the importance that novel vector control measures might play in defending the general public health. The data discovered within the experiment is interesting, but there's nonetheless a lot that we don't perceive in regards to the Zika virus. Not often, a mom infected with the virus will pass it on to her baby in utero. Whereas details of Singapore's first local case of Zika an infection are only beginning to emerge, the Nationwide Surroundings Agency (NEA) has already taken steps to observe the situation at Aljunied Crescent and put together residents for battle.
Present methods are not satisfactory, warns research co-author Dr Robert Tesh of the University of Texas. Tom Frieden, you defined that confirming native mosquito-borne transmission of the virus is just not as easy as confirming the virus in a person by operating a check. Het Zika Virus is intussen ook in landen als Thailand en Indonesië waargenomen en daar lijken de symptomen nog (steeds) relatief gentle te zijn. The most recent act of political terrorism on the illusory world stage is yet another alleged illness epidemic – this time the Zika Virus," which officers are warning (just like they did with Ebola) might turn into a worldwide pandemic.
Cauchemez S, Besnard M, Bompard P, Dub T, Guillemette-Artur P, Eyrolle-Guignot D, et al. Association between Zika virus and microcephaly in French Polynesia, 2013-15: a retrospective research. DSHS offers updates every Tuesday on the number of Zika virus disease instances in Texas by the affected person's county of residence. Binnen een paar maanden was driekwart van alle eleven,000 inwoners, die ouder waren dan three jaar, besmet met het virus. The CDC have issued a journey alert warning pregnant girls to avoid international locations the place the virus is circulating.
With no treatment or vaccine obtainable, the only protection against Zika is to keep away from travel to areas with an energetic infestation. Later outbreaks of Zika disease virus additionally occurred in French Polynesia and Easter Island, and, most just lately, outbreaks were confirmed in Brazil and Colombia. In most people, signs of the virus are mild, together with fever, headache, rash and doable pink eye. Zika can actually be diagnosed by a easy blood take a look at and can be handled the same approach we treat the flu. There have been a number of reported cases of Zika virus in Australia because of travellers being contaminated overseas and returning to Australia.
Zika virus an infection is attributable to a virus which is primarily spread by the chew of an contaminated mosquito. Aedes aegypti mosquitos are seen on the College of Sao Paulo on January 8. Researchers from the Pasteur Institute in Dakar, Senegal, got here to Brazil to coach local researchers to fight the Zika virus epidemic. Malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and different illnesses can have comparable indicators as Zika. To be reported as a Zika illness case in being pregnant, the pregnant woman has to have had a number of scientific signal or symptom suitable with Zika and still have a positive Zika test outcome.

Filed under: Performance, Hatchback, Volkswagen, New Car Reviews
Volkswagen hired a photographer to come shoot the handful of journalists that it brought to drive the 2015 Golf R at Buttonwillow Raceway north of Los Angeles. This fact, though unremarkable in and of itself, was something I hadn't noticed until I was well into my track time – probably ten laps deep on a day that would see me run twice that number. In any event, I noticed the intrepid shooter as he was sprinting from one side of the track to the other somewhere before Turn 2, while I was barreling down the main straightaway, still looking through Turn 1.
In the roughly two-mile configuration of the track that I drove, Buttonwillow is a big, wide-open circuit, largely flat and with excellent overall visibility. On that layout, and just hours into my Golf R experience, I'd already become confident in endeavoring to push the limits of VW's latest blistering hatch. In fact, the easy nature of driving the thing quickly had me overestimating my pace. So when I saw the photog sprint across the tarmac I instinctively slowed way too much, way too early for Turn 1.
Looking back at the incident after I'd pitted for the session, I laughed at myself, knowing I'd have had to be driving almost double my actual speed to put the camera guy in any real danger of being hit. But the experience crystallized what my full test of the R bore out: this is a car that makes you feel much faster than you otherwise would, at least in a competition setting.
The 2015 Golf R is an über hatch that will flatter those hyper-enthusiasts passionate enough to splash out on its steep price tag, but without threatening sales of core models like the GTI and its ilk. That's a good thing for the VW fanboys, to be sure, and, I'd argue, a great thing for the strength of the German brand overall.

Two pilot whales died and two more were euthanized, off the coast of southwest Florida Tuesday, day after four others died in the area, officials said.
A total of four whales have been euthanized around Lover's Key near Fort Myers in Lee County, which is the same area where four whales died, NOAA spokeswoman Kim Amendola said.
Six whales who were spotted there on Monday were not found in an aerial survey Tuesday and are unaccounted for, Amendola said.
Two of the eight whale carcasses are being brought to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's pathobiology lab in St. Petersburg, where necropsies will be done on them, Amendola said.
Necropsies will be carried out on the other six on scene, and afterward they will be buried there, she added.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard has reopened boat traffic in the area.
On Monday, the two whales had to be euthanized after they beached themselves south of Lover's Key, according to NOAA.
A total of 14 pilot whales had been spotted in the area earlier Monday but by Monday evening, a group of seven were stranded on a sandbar and appeared to be in poor condition, NOAA said.
The dead or euthanized whales and the animals who could not be located Tuesday all came from that group, Amendola said.
She said it's too soon to tell why the whales died, and that it could be months before officials get the necropsy results.
Pilot whales live in deep water, so when they swim inland it's usually a sign of toxicity or disease.
Separately, none of the 23 whales that were spotted swimming around Gordon Pass in Naples in Collier County on Sunday were stranded or died, Amendola said.
Biologists marked those whales, which were spotted again off Marco Pass near Marco Island on Monday. A FWC boat stayed with the 23 whales for much of Monday, when they were two miles off-shore, and officials are no longer monitoring them because they were offshore, Amendola said.
She added that another 12 whales were seen swimming two miles off of Fort Myers Beach on Monday morning, but officials did not respond to that situation because they were offshore.
In December, more than 50 pilot whales stranded in Everglades National Park, some of whom died.

The real cowboy. There's a story in her eyes.
This is the place where idea clouds brew.
Where the lightning strikes the dawn anew.
Where poets die nourished for only they knew
To express- not detest this sprawling, wandering, golden-eyed tattoo.
With a flash
The paparazzi of the sky
Ambushes us from up on high
With a slash of light
At night it's time to strike
In the darkness the room is a million miles wide
I could choose to get and angry or frustrated or cry, but instead I'll choose to be happy and I don't have to know why. And I could choose to be tired or burnt out or wrecked, but I'll smile instead and laugh with the best.
Frantic feet might dance in the street but when they get on stage they keep the beat.
The bar doesn't water down their drinks but my melted ice does a mighty fine job.

The regulation of pornography has always been a contentious issue, and has sparked wide ranging debates in relation to its regulation and control.
However, the use of the internet to distribute and access pornography has magnified this debate due to the global nature of the internet and the variety and scale of legal and illegal pornography available. This has resulted in a range of regulatory responses in different countries, including the U.K.
Whilst no internet specific sui generis legislation for regulating pornography was enacted in the UK, a number of amendments were made to existing legislation, which created new simple possession offences for child pornography, including pseudo and virtual child pornography, and adult extreme pornography.
These possession offences impose liability on the end-user consumer of pornography, marking a departure from the traditional regulatory model which focused on the publisher and distributor of pornography.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the legal issues stemming from this relatively new regulatory model in the context of the various kinds of pornography including adult legal pornography, illegal adult extreme pornography, and virtual and pseudo child pornography.
The book includes a comparative study of the relevant position in other jurisdictions, most notably the United States and continental Europe. The book will analyse the legal implications of the changes in regulation and examine how the traditional justifications for censorship and proportionality apply, if at all, to the new model. Key issues surrounding the regulation of internet pornography are highlighted including alternatives to possession offences where applicable, the risk of over-blocking, relevant constitutional and human rights implications, the feasibility of an internet specific regulatory model, and the potential role of the Internet Governance Forum and other supranational bodies.
