I Am Still Grateful
Actress cum producer Yvonne Okoro may not have won any award at the recently held fifth Africa Magic Viewer's Choice Awards held in Nigeria but she is not ashamed of that.
Having been nominated in six categories for her movie Ghana Must Go, one would have expected that she would bring home at least two awards to make Ghana proud.
Speaking to Showbiz last Friday, the pretty actress said she is grateful to God for the nominations having been the only nominee from Ghana, "I am still very grateful because everyone wants to win but at the end of the day, there is something to be proud of," she said.
Yvonne added that she is not disappointed at the no show because being nominated alone is something to be proud of, "I am still happy I made it to the nominations, winning would have been awesome but for your work to be recognised is a great feeling," she said.
With Ghana Must Go out of the way, Yvonne is now working on the Season Two of her cooking programme, Dining With ….. which will hit the screen in June.
According to Yvonne, the Season Two will be called Dining With, Cook and Braggart, "every season will have a different name, season one was called Dining With … Yvonne and the second is Dining With, Cook and Braggart so we will have a different name for every season.
The show is presented by Yvonne who brings celebrities to her kitchen to cook and have a chit-chat as they go along.
The first season had the likes of Nigerian musician 2Face Idibia and his wife Annie as well as actress Beverly Afaglo and her musician husband Eugene Baah better known as Choirmaster.

Updates from the world of overestimating myself
In some ways, the year of vastly overestimating myself is going great! I have three jobs now not two, and I'm occasionally going outside and doing things that aren't work. I'm rewriting still, and trying not to doubt myself too much.
I'm considering posting a little fun thing I made on Wattpad to remember what it is to have fun.
I know in many other ways 2017 is not gong great for everyone but hopefully, like me, while entrenched in resistance you're finding the joy in the world too. I think it's improtant not to lose that.
Anyway, here's an extract from the fun thing I'm considering posting on wattpad! Are you on wattpad? I'm miahayson over there. I'd love to be pals!!
The patio is sickly sweet with the smell of barbecue, and my Dad still hunched over the embers prodding at was probably once meant to resemble dinner, as I walk outside. A light rain has settled over the small country village of Longfarn again, just as my father decides to celebrate summer in the rising dark.
"Have an olive," Aunt Ruby says in her usual melodic tone when I find a dry patch of bench to perch on. She kicks off her sandals, rubbing her toes into the fast dampening patio slabs. Ruby always says you can tell a lot about the world from the water in it.
Her bracelets jingle against the bowl as she shakes it under my nose. I raise an eyebrow at her (as a general rule I try to stray away from eating anything with stones in it) but she just gives back her blankest expression. Brown eyebrows neither raised nor lowered, her lips are set in a straight line. She taught me that expression. It's hard to have it used against you.
"Don't you dare take a thing that woman is offering," Dad's voice is slightly muffled by the barbecue hood but there's no missing the panicked inflection. "You'll ruin your appetite for dinner, and then where will we be?"
Ruby probably told him it'd rain and he didn't listen. My father hates anything that defies his logic, and often that includes meteorology. I can't count the number of times I've caught him muttering at the TV about how there's no such thing as fifty percent chance of rain because a fifty percent chance is just chance.
My Dad's fear of the illogical is largely why we haven't told him about the small fact of the very large paranormal world yet — neither one of us wants to destroy his finely tuned view of things. Plus, there's that and then there's the whole letting his only child run around with vampires and whatnot thing. Ruby just clucked her tongue and shook her bracelets at me last time I pointed this out but I know she worries about it too. Problem is, I'm in too deep now to stop working for her. Or, at least, I hope I am.
My one very brief stint with the only takeaway service in the area , cycling curries to our neighbours to earn back the shortfall Gorman left me with, was a glimpse into a world I never want to be a part of. Bring me heartbroken gremlins, insane werewolves, and kidnapped tooth fairies any day of the week.
"Did your friend have a job for you?" Ruby says in hushed tones when my Dad scuttles inside though the open patio doors 'to get more fuel' and I turn to watch the patio lights cast shadows on her face. In the distance, far over her shoulder, shadows lurk in the night. I push them from my mind.
Both Ruby and I know 'getting more fuel' is dad-speak for rifling through his garage drawers until he finds lighter fluid but it looks like we're firmly entrenched in Barbecue mode tonight. There's no point resisting the process.
"You heard him?" I'm always surprised that Ruby can tell when somebody's visited me.
With some clients they're easier to hear than others. Werewolf claws sound like branches scratching on a window pane. Gremlins pad around a room with the weight of a large cat, our floorboards creaking occasionally.
Vampires are largely silent.
"I smelled him," Ruby says, just as Dad returns brandishing a bag of coals. As if he's going to use those. Both of us clock the lighter fuel can in his back trouser pocket but I nod and smile anyway. I even give him one of my rarer thumbs-up gestures.
I'll post more in wattpad, possibly, in the future...

Right after Thao died I had the fleeting thought that I had paid my dues. The unimaginable had happened. Thao died. I lost my son.
I had been convinced a few months earlier that I would never lose a child. That the Lord would not allow that kind of pain and suffering in my child's life.
But I had been corrected.
And yet I still thought that maybe I was safe. The rest of my life I could rest assured because I had already spent my time in the hospital. I had already surrendered. The Lord asked for surrender. I dedicated my life and my marriage and my family to Him. Done.
Check. Check. Check.
But friends, where in the Bible does it say once you have suffered enough, I will make the road easy for you? Your journey will be full of only good things. Your life will be easy. And comfortable.
No where.
The Lord says this world is fallen and broken and sinful and a wreck. Because, sin.
The Lord also says He gives us the gifts of joy and hope and salvation and heaven. Because, Jesus.
I lost my son. I lost three precious babies before I held them. I waited three and a half years for my Congolese babies to come home. I lost a lot of stuff in a house fire.
And none of those things have stolen my joy or my love or my salvation or my Jesus from me. I love my life and I enjoy my days!
Because the things I cling to are eternal, not earthly. The thing I will hold most dear to my heart cannot be bought with money or contained in a house. I hold onto Hope the most of all.
Because of Hope, I know that I will see Thao again.
Because of Hope, I know that I will meet my precious babies face to face.
Because of Hope, I endured the wait.
Because of Hope, the stuff I lost was put into perspective.
Because of Jesus, my Hope.
So, dear friends, when will this suffering end?
As long as we walk this blessed earth, we will endure suffering. We will walk alongside the suffering. We will bring the suffering into our homes. We will be the suffering.
It will ebb and flow. Some days just finding shoes for five kids feels a lot like suffering. Some days soggy carrots and messed up meal plans feels a lot like suffering. Some days I feel as though I carry the suffering souls in my own. Some days suffering is holding my child as he takes his last breath or watching my house go up in flames. Some days suffering is holding a hurting child and loving them anyway.
Do not run from suffering.
We can't take anything with us, but we can see other souls ushered into Jesus' arms by the way we live through the suffering.
Be like Job.
Praise Jesus through the suffering. (Job 1:20-22)
Be like Job's friends.
Sit with the suffering. (Job 2:13)
Right after Thao died I had the fleeting thought that I had paid my dues. The unimaginable had happened. Thao died. I lost my son.

Politics is toxic and nowhere more-so than in Australia. Our Prime Minister was the bloke who threatened to 'shirt-front' Vladimir Putin over Russia's role in the shooting down of MH17. He is from the right, like the Republicans, but without the Bible and handgun. Unlike the American political system, the party holding power can replace their leader even though they campaigned to the electorate under the banner of their leader to win office. The Prime Minister Abbott faced a potential revolt within caucus and came through unconvincingly. Although he fended off the first assault but then eventually lost the Prime Ministership to Malcolm Turnbull.
Politics is selling and Prime Minister Abbott must learn to speak from the heart, get real with journalists and the electorate to deal with the real cause of his problem. Let me give you an example of Abbott's problem. Last week he was interviewed by our equivalent of an uber Fox News right wing commentator, Alan Jones, who threw an easy pitch for Abbott to smash out of the park – 'hit for six', to use a cricket metaphor. What happened… Prime Minister Abbott responded with vanilla custard sprinkled with liberal doses of ums and ahs (16 in just 45 seconds). Here it is.
Alan Jones finished the interview with: "You're hopeless at talking about yourself… it's clear that a lot of people don't really know their Prime Minister. Who is Tony Abbott? We're going to 77 stations – tell us about yourself... who is the real Tony Abbott?"
Prime Minister Abbott's response (without the annoying ums and ahs): "Well; I've always been a bit reluctant to blow my own trumpet Alan; and I like to think that the facts speak for themselves. I'm the father of three daughters; I'm the brother of 3 sisters. I love my community, which I try to serve as a volunteer fire fighter and as a surf lifesaver. Obviously I like sport and try to get plenty of physical exercise because I think that's good for your mental health as well as everything else. But most of all, I am the Prime Minister of this country and I am spending every ounce of energy, I am dedicating every fiber of my being, to try to ensure this country flourishes."
Alan Jones knows how to sell. He highlighted that the current government has inherited a debt crisis. Australia had 20% higher debt per citizen than Greece and the daily interest bill for government was $37,000,000. The Australian government was borrowing $110,000,000 per day to service debt and fund the budget deficit. Australia's GDP was approximately 55% of California's and it would take an Australian worker earning an annual salary of $75,000, 400 years just to service one day of interest payments for Australia's national debt.
Here's what Prime Minister Abbott needed to do to climb in opinion poll rankings. First, 'ditch the script' and forget the artificial humility. He is Rhodes Scholar and champion boxer... get on the front foot by being embracing the very things people claim are why they don't like him. Here is what I would have coached him to say to Alan Jones.
"Alan, I know people love to hate me… it's become a sport – but I probably deserve it. I was chief head-kicker for a while in the Howard government and I made lots of enemies as a result. It was my role in the team at the time and if politics is just a popularity competition, then I'm in trouble. But you know what – I think the public are sick of populists who are incompetent. The last mob cost more than a thousand lives will poor execution of policy with boat people. They frittered away decades of hard work to destroy what was the strongest economy in the world. They set us on an unnecessary path of economic destruction and we've got to fix the economy with strong leadership. I know I need to listen more and improve my public speaking skills but [back to what he actually finished with] I am spending every ounce of energy, I am dedicating every fiber of my being, to try to ensure this country flourishes."
He should be self-deprecating and embrace the haters. Humbly and humorously wear it as a badge of honor. Have a belly laugh (maybe his heart-felt laughter looks much better than the awkward smirk attempted smile; and he should wave like mad when they boo him at sporting events. When journalists ask him why he rates so low in opinion poles, he should just smile warmly and say: 'You know sometimes I hate myself too [have a laugh at yourself]; but I have this crazy belief that Australians want someone who can run the place well. Competence in delivering what we've promised is what I'm focused on. Hopefully enough people will love to hate me enough to allow us to continue getting the place back on track economically and with sensible policy."
He also needed to:
Learn to smile and laugh naturally. Embrace the hate and wear it humorously as a badge of honor.
Hire the best speech coach to overcome his 'ums' and 'ahs'. Maybe Geoffrey Rush is available after what he did in The King's Speech.
Stop walking like he just got off a horse rather than a bike. I know he rides his bike nearly as much as Lance training for the Tour de Drug Testing, and as Tyler Hamilton wrote in his book, The Secret Race, professional cyclists are beautiful on a bike but walk like old men. A natural gate can be developed even for those who've had major knee or hip surgery.
We need the very best leaders in politics. They need to be authentic, not cardboard cut-out personas. Winning political office is selling and marketing; Winning reelection is about competence in delivery of what you promise... and sales and marketing. Sell; deliver; sell again. Selling is changing someone's emotional state, not the imparting of information. If you want to lead, be the real deal.

Review: Bats Sing, Mice Giggle
DID you know that spiders taste with their feet, that a decapitated cockroach can live for two weeks, that a certain type of parrotfish wraps itself in a sort of foul-smelling snot before taking a nap, and that ants play? I didn't until I read Bats Sing, Mice Giggle. I was also amazed to discover that you can remove the brain of a salamander, grind it up and pop it back in again, and the poor defiled creature will function quite normally.
Some stories stretch credulity. Plants that subsequently recognise people who have damaged them – how would that …

First up we had the second-fastest red card in the entire history of the World Cup, with Colombia playing basically the entire game a man down after Carlos Sanchez used his arm to block a goal-bound shot from Japan's Shinji Kagawa in the third minute.
Kagawa converted the spot kick, and although Colombia drew level thanks to a clever free kick from Juan Quintero, the Samurai Blue pulled ahead again in the second half thanks to a header from Yuya Osako, and would stay there for the rest of the match - becoming the first ever Asian side to beat a South American opponent at the World Cup.
After that we saw another upset in Group H, with Senegal beating Poland. The win wasn't without controversy - after Thiago Cionek's own goal, the African side made it two with M'Baye Niang re-entering the field of play after being hurt and swooping in to pinch a back pass and score.
The Polish players were furious, and made it 2-1 with a few minutes to go, but couldn't find the equaliser as Senegal became the first African team to win a match at Russia 2018.
And finally, Russia all-but ended Egypt's hopes with a 3-1 thumping in the final game of the day. The hosts have played exquisite football in two straight games now, racking up a whopping eight goals against Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Mo Salah, still fighting a shoulder injury, came back and scored a late penalty to add some respectability to the scoreline, but it wasn't nearly enough.
That's it for today - we'll be back to do it all again tomorrow. See you then.

In September 2016, we filed a Petition in the Northern District of California (the federal district court for the Bay Area and much of Northern California) asking the court to unseal years' worth of surveillance matters filed there. We had our first hearing before the court on May 4.
Points of Consensus on Rule 41

Senator Chris Coons, Democrat from Delaware, offered a bill today that would delay implementation of proposed changes to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41 for six months.

Stanford Researchers Seek Court Documents Ordering Companies to Help Government Defeat Encryption
By Jennifer Granick and Riana Pfefferkorn on September 29, 2016 at 9:56 am
Researchers at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society (CIS) filed a petition yesterday seeking to unseal judicial records in San Francisco federal district court. Their goal is to reveal how the federal government uses U.S. law to obligate smartphone manufacturers and Internet companies to decrypt private user data, turn over encryption keys, or otherwise assist law enforcement with digital surveillance.
Reflections on the FBI's Attempt to Dragoon Apple Into Subverting iPhone Security
By Jennifer Granick on February 24, 2016 at 11:37 am
On Monday, I wrote a post for Just Security where I reflected on last week's news concerning the FBI's attempts to coerce Apple into creating a forensic bypass to the iPhone passcode lockout. I wrote that we live in a software-defined world. In 2000, Lawrence Lessig wrote that Code is Law — the software and hardware that comprise cyberspace are powerful regulators that can either protect or threaten liberty. A few years ago, Mark Andreessen wrote that software was eating the world, pointing to a trend that is hockey sticking today. Software is redefining everything, even national defense.
Motion to Unseal Court Records Concerning US DOJ Motion to Compel Facebook
Encryption helps human rights workers, activists, journalists, financial institutions, innovative businesses, and governments protect the confidentiality, integrity, and economic value of their activities. However, strong encryption may mean that governments cannot make sense of data they would otherwise be able to lawfully access in a criminal or intelligence investigation.
In Re: Petition of Jennifer Granick and Riana Pfefferkorn
Jennifer Granick and Riana Pfefferkorn are petitioning the federal court for the Northern District of California to unseal years' worth of sealed surveillance matters filed in that court.
U.S. v. Auernheimer
Arguing that a defendant's conviction for website hacking should be overturned because legitimate, highly valuable security and privacy research commonly employs techniques that are essentially identical to what the defendant did and that such independent research is of great value to academics, government regulators and the public even when – often especially when — conducted without a website owner's permission.
Apple v. FBI
Arguing that if the court should not compel Apple to create software to enable unlocking and search of the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone, it will jeopardize digital and personal security more generally.
Shloss v. Estate of Joyce
After the Estate of James Joyce refused to allow a scholar to quote Joyce in her book, we successfully defended her right under the fair use doctrine to use the quotes she needed to illustrate her scholarship. After we prevailed in the case, the Estate paid $240,000 of our client's legal fees.
Government Hacking Makes Everyone Less Safe
Last week, the Justice Department filed criminal charges against a North Korean operative for a malware attack that endangered hospital systems and crippled the computers of businesses, governments, and individuals around the world. Americans might be surprised to learn that the software used for this 2017 attack — known as "WannaCry" — was based on a hacking tool created by the U.S. government itself.

New Bill That Would Give Foreign Governments a Fast Track to Access Data
For decades, U.S. policies on international data sharing have balanced privacy, principles of comity (respect for the jurisdiction of other countries), and respect for Congress' power to regulate foreign affairs. Foreign countries seeking data held by U.S. companies generally must follow a process laid out in Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties, or MLATs, which are agreements between governments that facilitate cooperation in investigations. Increasingly, however, countries have complained that the MLAT process in the U.S. is slow and that it allows the U.S.

""There's a secretive process with no real appeal where people are making extremely difficult subjective calls that have to do with politics, culture and religion," said Jennifer Granick, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union.

Facebook Hires Up Three of Its Biggest Privacy Critics
"Jen King, director of consumer privacy at Stanford's Center for Internet and Society, thinks it's a sign Facebook may be ready to actually take privacy seriously. "It's possible that Facebook has finally gotten the memo and is really trying to make change," King told WIRED.
A Man Sent 1,000 Men Expecting Sex And Drugs To His Ex-Boyfriend Using Grindr, A Lawsuit Say
"Some cyberlaw experts fear a ruling against Grindr will put the creativity of the internet as we know it at risk. They say that requiring platforms to more closely monitor users would give an advantage to tech giants like Facebook, Twitter, and Google while hindering smaller startups with niche audiences, including Grindr. It would be more expensive to start new businesses online because of the cost of hiring watchdogs, said Jennifer Granick, surveillance and cybersecurity counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union.

MegaUpload: Guilty or Not Guilty? (Past Event)
On January 19, 2012, Kim DotCom was arrested in a dramatic raid after being indicted on federal criminal charges that he knew that his website, MegaUpload, was a haven of piracy and counterfeiting. In the days that followed, the media commented on the presumed guilt of MegaUpload. In this debate, Jim argues that the law and evidence clearly point to MegaUpload's officers being found guilty, while Jennifer will argue that the MegaUpload case is built on unprecedented and wrongheaded interpretations of copyright law, and thus the principles should be found not guilty.
Should the Wall of Sheep Be Illegal? A Debate Over Whether and How Open WiFi Sniffing Should Be Regulated (Past Event)
Prompted by the Google Street View WiFi sniffing scandal, the question of whether and how the law regulates interception of unencrypted wireless communications has become a hot topic in the courts, in the halls of the FCC, on Capitol Hill, and in the security community. Are open WiFi communications protected by federal wiretap law, unprotected, or some strange mix of the two? (Surprise: it may be the last one, so you'll want to come learn the line between what's probably illegal sniffing and what's probably not.)
Smashing the Future for Fun and Profit (Past Event)
Has it really been 15 years? Time really flies when keeping up with Moore's law is the measure. In 1997, Jeff Moss held the very first Black Hat. He gathered together some of the best hackers and security minds of the time to discuss the current state of the hack. A unique and neutral field was created in which the security community--private, public, and independent practitioners alike—could come together and exchange research, theories, and experiences with no vendor influences. That idea seems to have caught on. Jeff knew that Black Hat could serve the community best if it concentrated on finding research by some of the brightest minds of the day, and he had an uncanny knack for finding them.
American Spies
May 19, 2017
If you attended a recent march to protest, wrote a check to the ACLU, or recently visited a politically leaning website, consider yourself an activist, says Stanford legal scholar Granick. Not only might the government be watching you, but your digital footprint could end up being visible to people and organizations you never imagined would care. Know your risks and take safety precautions, advises Granick, or don't be surprised at the troubling outcome.

Intelligence agencies in the U.S. (aka the American Spies) are exceedingly aggressive, pushing and sometimes bursting through the technological, legal and political boundaries of lawful surveillance.
How Many Times Has the Government Spied on You Today?

The Snowden revelations, while dramatic, have done little to amp up public concern about personal surveillance.
After all, thanks to technology, electronic spying is cheap — so cheap the government can't afford not to do it.
'American Spies' author Jennifer Granick on privacy in the age of surveillance
February 21, 2017
The internet makes access to information incredibly easy, and we normally see that as a good thing. But what if the information being accessed is details of our private lives? And what if the person accessing them is a government intelligence agency? This week we speak with Jennifer Granick, author of "American Spies" and director of civil liberties at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, about the quest for privacy in the age of surveillance.

Opening up nicely :grinning::+1::skin-tone-3:
Hello again!
Week started off well. Plants looking good. Initial flowering stretch seems to be over but they did grow an inch or 2 in the last few days. Was watching videos on LED lights on youtube (always looking at new equipment!). Noticed the grower mentioning how his plants leaves had these razor edge effects, due to too much light. Given that i'm growing in such a small space i've always wondered if my plants would have the same issue. When i checked on them today (day 23 flowering) low and behold, the lights directly under my cheap Chinese LED lamp were all pointing up and had 'razor' edges. While the plants directly under the custom COB looked fine. So I spent the better part of an hour fixing the space. I removed the large LED, centred the custom COB (now the main source), moved my circulation fan to above the canopy and placed a 15w bulb below the canopy pointing up. The room temp went down significantly as a result and i managed to gain a few more cm between the plant tops and light source. Hopefully i'll see some improvements the coming week.
Day 23 - Flushing the plants out with pH'd water. Sour D had some nutrient burn.
Day 24 - Not much to do but can't stop looking at the girls - they're growing so fast :D
Opening up nicely :grinning::+1::skin-tone-3:

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – Crews were called to battle a commercial fire in Portsmouth Tuesday morning.
Portsmouth Fire and Rescue responded to a call at 7:42 a.m. in the 1700 block of Airline Boulevard.
Images and video from the scene showed flames coming from the NAPA Auto Care Center on Airline Boulevard.
Nearly 40 firefighters responded. They tried to attack the fire from the interior, but were pushed back due to high heat and poor visibility, according to Portsmouth Fire and Rescue.
WAVY's Kiahnna Patterson was on the scene and spoke to a friend of the business owner, who said the owner was at the shop when the fire broke out, but was not inside. Charlotte Hill said there was no one inside when the fire started. She said she was impressed with how quickly firefighter responded.
"We have maybe like one, two, three, we have like four fire trucks out here and I give the firefighters thumbs up because they are really doing their job and they are really watching it and they are really staying on it," said Hill.
There were no injuries to citizens or firefighters reported.

Ceramic Grinding Abrasive is also a commonly used grinding media in normal production. If you understand this process, you may know. What are the requirements for ceramic abrasive media?
Ceramic sand is widely used for shot peening. It can be divided into dry blasting and wet blasting. Although the ceramic sand processing process is different, a large amount of ceramic sand is finally sprayed onto the surface of the workpiece by an external force to manufacture the workpiece. The surface is plastically deformed by an external force to produce a cold hardened layer of a certain thickness, also referred to as a surface strengthening layer. The reinforcing layer can significantly improve the fatigue strength of the part under high temperature and high humidity work, but it should be noted that the processing temperature after the workpiece processing should not be too high, otherwise the generated compressive stress will be eliminated. The expected impact will be lost. The ceramic grinding medium is a sand blasting machine that uses gas pressure to spray ceramic sand, and the ceramic sand polishes the workpiece according to its own toughness and hardness.
What are the requirements for ceramic abrasive media?
1. Determine the shape and material of the grinding media according to the nature of the material to be ground, the raw material and particle size of the product, and the next process requirements.
2. Determine the appropriate media size and ratio of different sizes based on the raw material and product particle size distribution requirements.
3. Determine the media fill rate based on the mill type and mill speed.
4. According to the wear law of the medium and the production conditions, determine the reasonable amount of grinding medium replenishment.

About Orgain
Orgain's founder, Dr. Andrew Abraham is a cancer survivor and practicing physician that has dedicated his life to improving the health and well-being of other.
Dr. Abraham spent years searching for a healthy, nutritious drink made with only high quality organic ingredients only to come up disappointed.
No drinks on the market were even close to what he had in mind, so Dr. Abraham Channeled his energy and expertise into creating a drink with one simple goal in mind - "To create the healthiest drink in the world..."
He created Orgain with the intention of developing a drink that would far surpass any product on the market. The truth is, a majority of drinks offered today are filled with sugar, corn syrup, and very low quality non-organic ingredients in order to keep costs low and profits high."
After being diagnosed with cancer, he learned first-hand the importance of organic, wholesome nutrition and the vital role it plays in supporting the body in times of stress. Not only did he want a drink that would support those fighting an illness, but he wanted a convenient, delicious organic drink for people like himself as a post-workout shake or a healthy meal on the run.
He spent years formulating and re-formulating a drink that finally met his very strict standards. It had to be low in sugar, high in organic protein, have complex carbs, fruits, veggies, omega-3's, fiber, immune boosters and be in a ready to drink, delicious package free from artificial sweeteners, preservatives and colorings. He wanted a drink that people would actually fee a difference in their health with. After exhaustive work and research, he finally developed the perfect formulation that would later become Orgain.

Elyria High School student charged with assaulting school resource officer
ELYRIA, Ohio– An Elyria High School student is facing charges after police say she assaulted the school resource officer.
Jazmin Davis, 18, of Elyria, was charged with assault on an officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and criminal trespass.
According to the police report, the officer repeatedly asked Davis to leave the cafeteria at the end of the school day on Monday, but she refused. He even asked her friends to convince her to leave.
When told she could be arrested, Davis yelled obscenities at the officer, which caused a commotion among the students in the vestibule.
The officer told her she needed to go to the main office, but she tried to avoid the officer. The police report said he attempted to place her in handcuffs as she waved, "her arms wildly while screaming."
During the struggle, David kicked the officer in groin and lower leg, the police report said.
"Davis screamed and violently jumped around the entire escort while trying to break free. Once in the office, Davis screamed and attempted to leave while refusing to calm down," the report said.
The struggle drew a crowd of other students, who shouted at the officer and recorded cell phone video.
Davis was eventually taken to the Lorain County Sheriff's Office. Elyria High School suspended her and she faces possible expulsion.

To the Editor and to the Oswego County Legislature:
Mr. Chairman, Honorable Legislators, Ladies and Gentlemen:
We would like to address the issues of fairness and equality as they pertain to your decision regarding the potential closure of the Hannibal Transfer Station.
You may plan to reduce the size and cost of County Government, but let's face it – it's not happening. Our government is expanding at all levels as you seek to provide certain basic services to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people in exchange for taxation. This being the case, we firmly believe that services should be administered without prejudice and with equal opportunity to all of our towns and cities.
For years, we have watched as state lawmakers funneled our tax dollars downstate. Likewise, those of us west of the Oswego River watch as our tax dollars are funneled to other parts of Oswego County. Currently, a pedestrian sidewalk on a bridge in the Town of Richland (Pulaski) is being given serious consideration with an anticipated expenditure of $400,000. We have to ask how many Oswego County residents will benefit from this walkway if charged to Oswego County taxpayers?
We contend that Oswego County government is guilty of focusing services in the east side – making fewer services available to those of us west of the river. One service we have enjoyed is the convenience of our transfer station.
We've read that the anticipated closure is a business decision. We don't presume to fully comprehend all the inner workings of Oswego County Government. But, we do know how to run multiple businesses. The cost of doing business includes all outgoing costs including capital improvements, maintenance, payroll, utilities, etc. These expenditures are (hopefully) offset by income – in this instance, income from tipping fees & permits, and the sale of sand & gravel at the County Route 7 facility. Just a few years ago, nearly ½ million dollars was spent on capital improvements & remodels to the Pulaski & Hastings facilities alone – and the people on the west side of the county helped pay the bill.
Let us ask you this – would you deny county residents in Redfield, Boylston and Orwell social services or road maintenance because it costs more to send a County Health nurse or a highway dept vehicle to the northern reaches of our county? This situation is no different. Some are saying that it costs more to provide services at the county's only west-side transfer station. We submit that this is not the case when actual dollars spent and income received, are factored in. We find it impossible to believe that only 15% of our residents are utilizing the Hannibal Transfer Station, as has been reported. Continuous traffic in and out is witnessed and reported by neighbors of the facility. Perhaps 15% represents the percentage of residents who purchase yearly permits – because we know many people who pay as they go, rather than purchase yearly permits
When the LaRue Christie property on County Route 7 was purchased years ago for the location of a west-side transfer station, the decision caused controversy and anxiety to the people – literally pitting neighbor against neighbor. It was argued that this would provide a much-needed service to the people. Are you telling us now that this was just a mistake?
While some perceive the transfer station closure as a mere "inconvenience" to west county residents, we submit that it will create major hardship, causing budgetary increases to the towns and cities.
Surely, the Oswego City and Fulton City legislators can't be pleased with the thought of increased debris flying out of vehicles onto their city streets and the increased cost of removal. More than that, this closure represents another inequality of services to the people on the west side.
We simply ask that you seek an equitable solution to budget issues. If your goal is self-sufficiency in the solid waste department, take a path of self-sufficiency for the entire department – with fair & equitable distribution of services across all 5 facilities. Seek alternatives to permanent closure. You've made major investments of our taxpayer money to improve facilities east of the Oswego River.
There are more than 20,000 of us on the west side. Please consider a modest investment in our only west-side facility by merely keeping it open. Cut back the number a days it is open, reduce employee costs, seek a private investor opportunities, etc. We believe that these measures, coupled with increased efficiency and a modest fee increases (if necessary), will result in a self-sustaining service to your constituents.
Please don't desert the people west of the Oswego River. Don't make us scapegoats for an easy budget cut, so that funds can be funneled elsewhere. We urge you to do what's right. Do what's fair and equitable. Keep the west-side transfer station open unless a satisfactory alternative can be proposed – for the benefit of all.
Jack and Faye Beckwith

To be a rapper or some kind of artist, or even a photographer (like me) is tough since its a grind, a daily hustle. You don't get a steady pay check from what we love to do, I for one have a regular job to support all that. Not a lot of people know I work a regular job on the weekdays and juggle with blogging and photo shoots after work and sometimes during work (I'd have to request the day off). Having friends who is an aspire artist with a lot of potential requires a lot of support and sacrifice as well. Being a team you have to make time to support each other.
Rossi doesn't have a job like I do, he's a full time father and a rapper, so much respect to Rossi for managing life by its horn. Yesterday was a big day for Rossi, we had a meeting with Benji of Rostrum Records (who signed Wiz and Mac Miller) and 24Hrs in Los Angeles. I got the call from Rossi that he wants me present and I know calling out of work is highly frowned upon in the corporate office but damn, this is a huge opportunity so I took the risk and called it off to make it to this meeting. We plan on making it big together! Can't get into too much details but keeping my fingers crossed to see whats going to happen this year for Rossi Rock and the whole damn SUAV.

Spring Racing Carnival
It has been great to have your beautiful food so often. Rarely do you get to choose a nice caterer when in charge of this sort of thing on a TV shoot - you have to scrimp and save and justify every dollar. But your prices are so reasonable and everyone is always happy with the food, so I'm very much looking forward to recommending and using your great catering on my future productions.
