You liked the 10 new tools in the last issue so much, by popular demand, here are some others you could try.
If you're looking for a way to create and store simple tests online (fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice, that sort of thing)Practicowl could be the answer. It seems fairly easy to use. You need to register – but don't forget to mark down you're a teacher otherwise it won't let you create courses and tests. Set up course categories, and then create and share tests, which can be made public or private. Of course, once students are done, you can check out the results. Students also need to register to take part.
With just a few mouse clicks you can make impressive picture collages with Shape Collage. It can take dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of your photos. You can adjust the collage size, the number and size of photos, the spacing between them, the background, the border colour, and more. In just seconds, it will create a photo collage that you can post on your blog or website, email or print. The photos are arranged automatically and 'intelligently' (according to the makers) in the collage. The software also isn't restricted to just boring rectangular collages – it can create them in a variety of shapes, from circles and hearts, to animals and even a shape of your own design.
Draw and design almost anything with Creately. It's an online tool for creating and collaborating on all sorts of diagrams – flow charts, networks diagrams, sitemaps, organisational charts and others. It has a library of objects and easy-start templates. Design is a breeze. You can drag and drop objects, multi-select, resize, flip and more. As its makers also believe collaboration is a crucial part to the design process, they've built in commenting, sharing, publishing, and embedding functions, as well as the ability to publish directly to Twitter.
Avidemux is a free video editing and processing tool. The straightforward user interface is designed for convenience and speed with simple operations. Features include WYSIWYG cutting, appending, filters, and re-encoding into various formats. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD-compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and scripting capabilities. It also offers in-built subtitles. The software is open source and available for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL licence. A similar program is the Windows-onlyVirtualDub (www.virtualdub.org).
2draw offers some seriously cool online drawing tools. The goal of the site to create an artistic community – so there are galleries and forums, etc., to facilitate this. But you can just use it to for artistic purposes. You need to register. Then simply choose your level and select from one of four different drawing tools (or applets as the site calls them). Each provides a fully-featured art program, with all the drawing tools you'd expect from any self-respecting art package – brushes, shapes, colours, layers, and so on.
EtherPad is a Web-based word processor that allows people to work together in "really real-time!", their words not ours. All you have to do is click 'create' and provide the URL of your 'pad' to everyone you want to use it. You can then all work on the same document simultaneously. And it's super fast. The site claims to update every copy of the document every half second, so edits will hardly ever clash with other users. Edits are also colour coded, so you know who made them. It looks like a useful collaboration tool for meeting notes, drafting sessions, team programming, and the like.
From the makers of Nota, Photo Peach is an online slideshow creator that's very easy to use. First choose and upload your photos (from the Web or your own computer). Arrange the order the photos will appear in by dragging and dropping, and when you're satisfied, click 'Next'. Now, enter the title of the slideshow and add comments, soundeffect smilies, and music.

Killer Instinct Xbox One Review
Killer Instinct is the much awaited revival of a popular old school fighting franchise by Double Helix. Exclusive for the Xbox One, Killer Instinct was the killer (you see what I did there?), app that sold the Xbox One to many fighting gamers. Much of the hardcore fighting game community believes that this might be the next great tournament fighter, and that may be true, but its bare-bones suite of modes may turn much of the casual community off.
Killer Instinct's gameplay is easily its strongest point. It's a six button fighter, with three kicks and three punches, much like Street Fighter. Moves are pulled off with quarter circles and a button, and special shadow moves are pulled off with quarter circles and two buttons. Your goal is to reduce the opponent's life to zero. All-in-all it sounds a lot like a standard fighting game, right?
To a certain degree it is. The neutral game of Killer Instinct feels a lot like Street Fighter or King of Fighters or any other popular 2D fighter. However, once a hit is landed the combo system kicks in which is what makes Killer Instinct very unique. Many of you remember the complex system of openers, linkers, and enders in previous Killer Instincts, but that has been streamlined here. Any linker can now follow any attack and any attack (called an auto-double) can follow any linker. So you can safely produce long combos just by pressing a button, then quarter circling, then a button, then quarter circling, over and over again.
The newbie friendly combo system is a great way to get new people into the game, but there is still a huge gap between newbies and pros when it comes to combo effectiveness. The combo system works on "potential damage" that is built up for your ender move when you stop the combo. This grows faster if you vary your moves and perform complex combos. There are also c-c-c-combo breakers and counter combo breakers but newbie button mashers likely won't be able to perform them, and when combo breakers fail they set you up for even more damage -- sometimes half of your life bar! There are also combos that lead into very ambiguous mix-ups that then lead into other combos! As a result, newbies very often eat absurdly long combos that they can do nothing about and the match is over in just a couple hits. So don't think you'll be instantly good at Killer Instinct just because you know a combo or two.
If you want to get better at Killer Instinct, then check out the incredible Dojo Tutorial mode, which has one-upped Skullgirls as one of the best tutorial modes in fighting games. The tutorial goes over everything from basic movement, to normal and special moves, to hit-confirming, to combo mechanics. You'll learn how to mix-up and cross-up your opponent, perform manual links, and there are even audio cues to help you with your combo timing. It's a great tool for learning Killer Instinct (or any fighting game for that matter).
Killer Instinct's training mode allows you to turn on a multitude of options to see exactly what is happening behind the scenes while practicing your combos and setups. This includes hit-boxes, attack data, frame data, and more. It even allows you to see what "combo state" the opponent is in. Everything is completely transparent, meaning you don't have to go online or buy the player's guide in order to become a seasoned pro.
Unfortunately, these two modes are about all you will get when you purchase Killer Instinct. There's no Story mode to speak of. Heck, there's barely even an single player arcade mode. You can fight against A.I. opponents in survival mode, but there's no final boss to speak of and no game ending screen. You just fight until you die which loses its appeal very quickly. There's also an online suite which also has limited capability. There aren't lobbies or anything, just ranked and unranked matches. Thankfully, the netcode is smooth as silk, and button delay is nearly non-existent with a good connection.
In fact, it's appropriate that we brought up Skullgirls earlier because Killer Instinct will face many of the same challenges that the indie game did. Its roster is only six characters large, which will make fans of Marvel vs. Capcom 3's 50 character roster balk. It has no community building features like online tournaments. It has no extra offline modes beyond the basics and it barely even has that considering the lack of an arcade/story mode. What it does have is a solid gameplay system, a fantastic tutorial, and a near perfect netcode. It excels at the fighting game essentials but it doesn't have much else.
Everyone should at least try Killer Instinct. You can pick up a free version featuring just Jago and then expand your roster for five dollars a character, but really you are better off dropping $20 for the character bundle which gives you all six starting characters and two more downloadable characters when they come out down the line. You can also drop $40 if you are a die-hard fan to pick up every character's extra costume pieces as well, but it seems a bit outlandish to pay twice the cost of the full game just for a costume pack. The biggest cost that you will have to eat is the cost of a brand new Xbox One fighting stick in order to truly play competitively. Unfortunately, a four button controller just does not do this game justice.
Overall, Killer Instinct has a lot of potential to become one of the most played fighting games on the market. Unfortunately, if it wasn't already hindered by its Xbox One exclusivity it will certainly be hindered by its small roster and sparse offering of modes. Personally we would like to see Killer Instinct blow up into a fan favorite, but with the fighting game community's short attention span and short sighted tendency to judge a fighting game by the size of roster, this Killer Instinct may be fated to be nothing more than a flavor-of-the-week.
This review is based on a publisher supplied copy of Killer Instinct for the Xbox One.

Donald Trump has taken a final swipe at China and its biggest companies, imposing more sanctions and investment bans in his last days of office.
Nine Chinese firms have been added to the Pentagon's blacklist of alleged ties to the Chinese military, including phone maker Xiaomi.
Trump's Chinese Companies Target
Mr Trump has ramped up action against a host of companies he believes are a security threat in recent months.
China retaliated this week with a new law aimed at protecting its firms.
Over the last few months Mr Trump has targeted Chinese technology companies he believes share personal data with its government with TikTok, Huawei and WeChat caught in the crossfire.
His latest round of restrictions announced on Thursday affect, among others, China's oil giant CNOOC and Xiaomi, which in November surpassed Apple to become the world's third-biggest smartphone manufacturer.
Blacklisted Firms
The US Commerce Department accused CNOOC of harassing and threatening offshore oil and gas exploration and extraction in the South China Sea.
CNOOC, which is state-owned, acted as "a bully for the People's Liberation Army to intimidate China's neighbours" said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
CNOOC will now join a blacklist that requires firms to be granted a special licence before they can receive exports of high-tech items from US suppliers.
Xiaomi shares trading in the US dropped as much as 14% on Thursday while in Hong Kong the shares fell more than 11% on Friday.
Many believe this latest action is Mr Trump's final swipe at Chinese companies before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on 20 January.
However, Nicholas Turner, a lawyer at Steptoe & Johnson in Hong Kong, told the BBC "I think there might be one more. We are also watching for updates from the US Treasury Department."
Job Losses
The US and China have been engulfed in a trade war since 2018 which has seen a range of tariffs slapped on imports of each other's goods.
This trade war between the world's two biggest economies has caused a peak loss of 245,000 US jobs, according to a study by Oxford Economics.
The study, commissioned by the US-China Business Council (USCBC), predicts that a significant decoupling could shrink US GDP by $1.6tn (£1.2tn) over the next five years.
"With China forecast to drive around one-third of global growth over the next decade, maintaining market access to China is increasingly essential for U.S. businesses' global success," the study said.

What is Schizophrenia
The concept of schizophrenia can be difficult to understand. The presentation of schizophrenia can be extremely varied, with a great range of possible symptoms. There are also many misconceptions about the condition of schizophrenia that have led to prejudice against sufferers of the illness. People with schizophrenia are commonly thought to have low intelligence and to be dangerous. In fact, only a minority shows violent behaviour, with social withdrawal being a more common picture. Up to 10% of people with schizophrenia commit suicide.
Two systems for the classification of schizophrenia are widely used: the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Symptoms Of Schizophrenia
- Acute psychotic illness
- Symptoms which commonly occur in the acute phase of a psychotic illness include the following:
- Awkward social behaviour, appearing preoccupied, perplexed and withdrawn, or showing unexpected changes in behaviour
- Initial vagueness in speech which can progress to disorders of the stream of thought or poverty of thought
- Abnormality of mood such as anxiety, depression, irritability or euphoria
- Auditory hallucinations, the most common of which are referred to as 'voices'; such voices can give commands to patients or may discuss the person in the third person, or comment on their actions
- Delusions, of which those relating to control of thoughts are the most diagnostic; for example, patients feel that thoughts are being inserted into or withdrawn from their mind
- Lack of insight into the illness. These symptoms are commonly called positive symptoms
Chronic schizophrenia
Between 60% and 80% of patients who suffer from an acute psychotic illness will suffer further illness and become chronically affected. For these patients the diagnosis of schizophrenia can be applied. If this disease progresses, there may be relapse of acute symptoms but the underlying condition get worse because of lack of drive, social withdrawal and emotional apathy. Such symptoms are sometimes called negative symptoms and respond poorly to most antipsychotic drugs.
Causes of schizophrenia
Although the cause of schizophrenia remains unknown, there are many theories and models.
Vulnerability model
The vulnerability model describes the persistent characteristic of schizophrenia but the vulnerability to the development of such episodes of the disorder is dangerous. The episodes of the illness are time limited but the vulnerability remains, awaiting the trigger of some stress.
Developmental model
The developmental model postulates that there are critical periods in the development of neuronal cells which, if adversely affected, may result in schizophrenia. Two such critical periods are postulated to occur when migrant neural cells do not reach their goal in fetal development and when supernumerary neural cells slough off at adolescence.
Ecological model
The ecological model postulates that external factors involving social, cultural and physical forces in the environment, such as population density, individual space, socioeconomic status and racial status, influence the development of the disorder.
Genetic model
The genetic model explains that undoubtedly a genetic component is related to schizophrenia, with a higher incidence in the siblings of schizophrenics.
Transmitter abnormality model
The suggestion that schizophrenia is caused primarily by an abnormality of dopamine receptors and, in particular, D2 receptors, has largely emerged from research into the effect of antipsychotic drugs. Such a theory is increasingly being questioned.
Other factors
Numerous other factors have been implicated in the development and cause of schizophrenia. These include migration, socio-economic factors, perinatal insult, infections, season of birth, viruses, toxins and family environment.
There is a wide range of antipsychotic drugs available for the treatment of a psychotic illness. Although most antipsychotic drugs are equally effective in the treatment of psychotic symptoms, some individuals respond better to one drug than another. There is also controversy among long people should remain on an antipsychotic drug following their first acute illness. Some would argue that, if the prognosis is poor, long-term therapy should be advocated. Others would want to see a second illness before advocating long-term therapy.
Rationale for use of drugs
Although a variety of social and psychological therapies are helpful in the treatment of schizophrenia, drugs form the essential cornerstone. The aim of all therapies is to minimise the level of handicap and achieve the best level of mental functioning. Drugs do not cure schizophrenia and are only partially effective at eradicating some symptoms such as delusions and negative symptoms. At the same time, benefits have to be balanced against side effects and whether the need to suppress particular symptoms is important.
Drug selection and dose
Over the years there have been many changes to the range of antipsychotic drugs available. Despite the availability of newer agents many of the issues relevant to drug selection and dose have remained similar for the last 50 years and include:

It seems the Russians weren't the only foreign power trying to hook up with Donald Trump Jr. and give a boost to the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 election. The New York Times reported on Saturday there was yet another secret Trump Tower meeting during the campaign where the president's son and aides met with shadowy foreigners offering to help Make America Great Again. On August 3, 2016, instead of Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton, an emissary for the crown princes of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said the de facto rulers were eager to help Trump win the White House,
and the offer reportedly got an approving response from Trump Jr. An Israeli expert in "social media manipulation" was there too, and explained how his company could give the Trump campaign an advantage. Both offers, if accepted, would have violated U.S. election laws, and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators have already been looking into this and other subsequent meetings.
Here's what we do and don't know about the newly revealed meeting, how big a deal it is, and how, unlike with Russia, these new potential colluders have already gotten what they've wanted out of Trump:
Who Was There
The Gulf state emissary was George Nader, the Lebanese-American businessman whose ties to Trumpworld have already fallen under the scrutiny of the Mueller investigation. Nader has worked as a close adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, known as MBZ, who essentially rules the United Arab Emirates. The Times reports that as soon as Trump locked up the Republican nomination in 2016, Nader began making inquiries as to how MBZ could support Trump's campaign. Nader also said at the meeting that we was an emissary of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS, who pulled off a stunning power grab to consolidate his control of Saudi Arabia last fall.
Also present at the meeting was Joel Zamel, an Israeli businessman with close ties to top Emirati officials. Zamel owns some private consulting firms focused on social media, war games, and intel gathering. One of those companies, Psy-Group, is staffed by several former Israeli intelligence officers and specializes in collecting information and conducting manipulation using social media and other tactics. ("Shape reality" is their official slogan, and one of the many services they offer in their marketing materials is "honey traps.") Another company in Zamel's portfolio, Wikistrat, "uses a network of experts to analyze geopolitical problems and was contracted to conduct war game scenarios on Islamist political movements in Yemen for the UAE," according to the Wall Street Journal.
The man who arranged for Trump Jr. to meet the two men was GOP donor and informal Trump adviser Erik Prince, the founder of the controversial private security firm Blackwater and brother of current education secretary Betsy DeVos. Prince knew Nader because he had worked as a business agent for Blackwater in Iraq following the U.S. invasion. Prince has also repeatedly done business with the UAE
It's not clear what other Trump campaign aides attended the meeting, but President Trump's senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller was reportedly present in Trump Jr.'s office when Prince, Nader, and Zamel arrived.
What Happened at the Meeting
After being introduced by Prince as someone who was close with Arab world leaders, Nader reportedly told Donald Trump Jr. that MBZ and MBS "were eager to help his father win election as president." According to Nader, the crown princes thought Trump would be a strong leader who "would fill the power vacuum that they believed Mr. Obama had left in the Middle East" and "that he and his friends would be glad to support Mr. Trump as much as they could."
Zamel reportedly marketed his services as a social media specialist. What's not clear, however, is if Zamel referenced the proposal that the Times reports his company, Psy-Group, had already prepared "for a covert multimillion-dollar online manipulation campaign to help elect Mr. Trump" that would use "thousands of fake social media accounts to promote Mr. Trump's candidacy on platforms like Facebook." It is also not clear who commissioned that proposal, or if it was ultimately executed, but the plan obviously sounds remarkably similar to Russia's efforts to interfere in the election on behalf of Trump — efforts which were already well underway at that point. (Zamel's lawyer now says no pitch was made, or accepted.)
Trump Jr. "responded approvingly" to the two men's offers, per the report. If he or the campaign ultimately accepted either of them, it almost certainly would have been illegal. Foreign nationals are banned from contributing to or coordinating with U.S. political campaigns. Zamel's Psy-Group reportedly knew that too, as it did some due diligence with a U.S. law firm on the subject.
The meeting lasted about a half hour and ended with an exchange of business cards. Nader apparently offered to set up a meeting between Trump Jr. and MBZ, but the president's son declined. No one publicly disclosed the meeting, even after an earlier Trump Tower meeting with assistance-offering foreigners came to light early last year. In that instance, two months prior to the meeting with Nader, Trump Jr. had met with Russian nationals who allegedly told him and other Trump officials they could provide incriminating information on Hillary Clinton. As two people "familiar with the meetings" explained in an understatement to the Times, "Trump campaign officials did not appear bothered by the idea of cooperation with foreigners."
What Happened After the Meeting
Whether Trump Jr. or other campaign aides embraced Nader and Zamel's offers or not, the meeting clearly got Nader into Trumpworld. He went on to frequently meet with members of Trump's inner circle, including son-in law Jared Kushner, national security adviser Michael Flynn, and Trump campaign chairman Steve Bannon. His relationship these top officials later intensified in the final weeks of the election and afterwards during the transition.
Then on December 15, 2016, Kushner, Flynn, and Bannon secretly met at Trump Tower with Nader and MBZ. That meeting, which the crown prince did not give advance notice about to the Obama administration, set off red flags national security officials at the time. It was also one of several meetings with foreign officials that Kushner failed to later disclose on his security clearance request form.
The Times notes as Nader was meeting with the Trump officials, he was also promoting a secret plan to destabilize Iran, the primary enemy of the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. The Emiratis and Team Trump shared an interest in driving a wedge between Iran and Russia, and the Washington Post has reported that after the Trump Tower meeting in December, Erik Prince approached MBZ on behalf of Trump to suggest MBZ set up a backchannel meeting with a Putin associate in the Seychelles. The meeting happened right before Trump's inauguration. Prince later told the House Intelligence Committee that it was nothing more than a chance encounter, but that seems unlikely at this point.
Over the next year, Nader visited the White House several times to meet with Trump officials, and the Times reports that on one of those occasions, he again came with Zamel to meet with Kushner and Bannon.
The Trump Jr. meeting may have paid off for Joel Zamel too, though it's not yet clear why he was paid. The Times reports that Nader paid Zamel as much as $2 million after the election, but heard conflicting accounts as to what it was for, while a source told the Journal that the payment was not related to the Trump campaign. The Times also reports that, less than two months after the election, Nader reportedly hired a third company linked to Zamel, a Philippines-based firm called WhiteKnight, to create a "presentation demonstrating the impact of social media campaigns on Mr. Trump's electoral victory." Why such a presentation was needed, or who it was intended for, has not been revealed.
Yeah, Mueller Knows About All This
This past January, Nader returned to the U.S. with the intention of traveling to the Trump family's Mar-a-Lago resort to celebrate the one year anniversary of the president's inauguration. Instead, shortly after landing in Washington, D.C., the FBI served him with search warrants and a grand jury subpoena, seized his personal devices, and questioned him for two hours. He was then requestioned numerous times about his meetings with Trump officials during the campaign, transition, and after Trump's inauguration, as well as about the meeting in the Seychelles. Nader appears to be cooperating with the Mueller investigation and gave testimony before a grand jury less than two months ago.
Zamel has also been questioned by Mueller's investigators about the Trump Tower meeting, and the Times reports that at least two FBI agents have traveled to Israel to interview employees who worked on the Trump campaign proposal at Psy-Group, and that the Israeli police have seized computers from one of Zamel's companies at the special counsel's request. That other Israel-based company may be Wikistrat, which is also drawing Mueller's attention, and which had rented office space in Washington, D.C. to pass for an American firm, even though most of its employees were in Israel, according to the Journal.
The Denials, Pushback, and Suggestion That Don Jr. Is Just a Big Dumb Softie
According to one of Donald Trump Jr.'s lawyers, Alan Futerfas, "Prior to the 2016 election, [Trump Jr.] recalls a meeting with Erik Prince, George Nader and another individual who may be Joel Zamel. They pitched Mr. Trump Jr. on a social media platform or marketing strategy. He was not interested and that was the end of it."
On Sunday morning, Trump whisperer Mike Allen reported at Axios that a source close to Donald Jr. claimed that the president's son barely remembers the meeting and that "nothing came of it," explaining that Don Jr. is just kind of dumb like that:
• The source says Don Jr. is "the king of people wanting to leave a meeting happy, whether or not he intends to follow up."
• Even now, someone will walk up to Don Jr. at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. and want to take a selfie, and a friend will have to warn: "Not that person."
• The source told me: "He just trusts people way too much."
Meanwhile, one of George Nader's lawyers, Kathryn Ruemmler, told the Times that Nader "has fully cooperated with the special counsel's investigation and will continue to do so." And a senior Saudi official claimed that the kingdom has never employed Nader and that he has never been authorized to speak on behalf of the country's crown price.
Joel Zamel "offered nothing to the Trump campaign, received nothing from the Trump campaign, delivered nothing to the Trump campaign and was not solicited by, or asked to do anything for, the Trump campaign," according to a statement his lawyer, Marc L. Mukasey, gave to CNN. The lawyer disputed the idea that Zamel was involved in "social media manipulation," as his companies only "harvest publicly available information for lawful use."
"The [Department of Justice] clarified from Day 1 that Joel and his companies have never been a target of the investigation. My client provided full cooperation to the government to assist with their investigation," Mukasey also told the Times. The Zamel-linked company WhiteKnight said that it "does not talk about any of its clients."
Neither Erik Prince, nor the White House, have thus far responded to requests for to comment on the report, but President Trump launched a tweet storm on Sunday morning. Trump's six-part response began by complaining that the "long and boring" report from the "Failing and Crooked (but not as Crooked as Hillary Clinton) New York Times" just meant that "the World's most expensive Witch Hunt has found nothing on Russia and me so now they are looking at the rest of the World!" Trump then proceeded to blame the Mueller investigation and list other, better witch hunts like the never-ending quest for Clinton's emails.
Yes, There are Russia Connections
George Nader traveled to Moscow at least twice during the 2016 presidential campaign as part of his work as an emissary for MBZ, according to the Times. He also seems to have played a role in some of Trump officials' alleged attempts to set up backchannel communications with Russia.
Days before Trump's inauguration, Nader helped organize the secret meeting in the Seychelles between Erik Prince, UAE officials, and Kirill Dmitriev, a financier who is close to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Under the plan, apparently revealed by Nader during his testimony in cooperation with the Mueller investigation, Prince would speak on behalf of Trump, and Dmitriev on behalf of Putin. The goal for both the Emiratis and Team Trump was to convince Russia to end its support for Iran, possibly in exchange for loosening U.S. sanctions on Russia. The UAE and MBZ were already familiar with Dmitriev, as they had "invested" billions of dollars into a Russian infrastructure fund he managed for Putin, and Dmitriev had become a regular visitor to Abu Dhabi. Put another way, the Emiratis seem to have thought they had found a way to buy access to a world leader by funding his pet projects.
The meeting also came weeks after Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn had infamously talked to Sergey Kislyak, Russia's then ambassador to the U.S., about setting up a line of communications outside of normal diplomatic channels and "arranging a meeting between a representative of Trump and a 'Russian contact' in a third country," according to the Washington Post.
Prince reportedly approached the Emiratis about the meeting, asking MBZ to set it up with the Russians, though he denied that and the other reports about the meeting in testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. Instead, he claimed the meeting with Dmitriev was a chance encounter over drinks at a hotel bar after MBZ had invited him to the island.
There's another Russia connection, too. One of Joel Zamel's companies has reportedly worked for oligarchs Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev, who both have close ties to Putin and reportedly hired Zamel's firm to go after their business rivals. They also have connections to Trumpworld.
Deripaska, a billionaire aluminum magnate, did millions of dollars of business with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates, but eventually sued them for stealing $1.1 million. Manafort also allegedly offered to provide Deripaska with personal briefings about the 2016 U.S. election less than two weeks before Trump accepted the Republican Party's nomination for president. (Manafort and Gates have both been indicted by Mueller, and Gates has been flipped.)
Rybolovlev, a billionaire fertilizer magnate, bought a beachfront mansion in Florida from President Trump in 2008 for $95 million, more than twice what Trump had paid for the property just four years before. ("I'm good at real estate," Trump bragged to Politico in July 2016, when asked about the deal.) A spokesman for Rybolovlev rejects to the reported connection to Zamel, however: "Neither Dmitry Rybolovlev nor any of his employees or representatives have ever contacted Mr. Joel Zamel, or had any relationship with him and his companies whatsoever."
The Times reports that, unsurprisingly, "Nader's visits to Russia and the work Mr. Zamel's companies did for the Russians have both been a subject of interest to the special counsel's investigators, according to people familiar with witness interviews."
The Iran Connection
Nader was also reportedly trying to convince officials in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to drop $300 million on a plan to destabilize Iran using private contractors and economic sabotage in the hope of forcing the Islamic Republic to abandon its nuclear program. The Times says that Nader directly pitched the plan to Saudi Arabia, and he even tried to get Jared Kushner to personally endorse the idea to MBS. Nader also apparently worked on a plan with Erik Prince to convince the Saudis to fund a $2 billion private army to fight a proxy war with Iran in Yemen.
Iran is also a big part of the most troubling aftermath of the meeting: how U.S. policy has become almost perfectly aligned with the Saudis and Emiratis since Trump's inauguration.
Collusion or Not, Saudi Arabia and the UAE Are Getting Everything They Want From Trump
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are longtime U.S. allies, but neither was happy with the Obama administration's foreign policy. President Obama not only set up the landmark nuclear deal with Iran, their enemy, but supported the Arab Spring — a groundswell movement which targeted the region's dictatorships — and opted against intervening more forcefully in the Syrian civil war. During the first year plus of the Trump administration, however, the two countries have gotten virtually everything they wanted.
President Trump has closely aligned himself with both countries, making Saudi Arabia the bizarre first stop of his first foreign trip as president. Almost right after he left, the U.S. shockingly abandoned another key ally in the Gulf, Qatar, as Saudi Arabia and the UAE led an effort to isolate, punish, and contain the rival country, cutting off all economic and diplomatic ties, and even hacking into Qatari state media and planting fake news to spur the crisis. Trump supported the blockade, despite well-reasoned pushback from State Department and Defense Department officials, and despite the fact that Qatar is probably America's most important military ally in the Gulf, as the U.S. Central Command maintains its forward headquarters there. While officials scrambled to contain the damage, Trump nonchalantly tweeted that Qatar was funding terrorism, echoing the Saudi and Emirati line. Instead of bringing Qatar back into the fold and easing tensions, the blockade drove Qatar deeper into the open arms of Iran.
In March, we also learned that White House senior aide Jared Kushner had backed the blockade of Qatar just weeks after the country's minister of finance had refused to invest money in his family business' most important distressed real estate asset in Manhattan. Qatari officials even reportedly considered bringing evidence to the Mueller investigation that Kushner had worked with their Gulf neighbors to hurt their country, but ultimately decided against it.
(Last week, the investor who runs Qatar's sovereign wealth fund claimed that Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, had unsuccessfully tried to shake him him down for a million dollars after he reached out to Cohen to discuss how to spend an up to $50 billion Qatari infrastructure fund — surely because Michael Cohen is considered an expert on such matters.)
Also in March, MBS, the Saudi Crown Prince, allegedly bragged that he had Jared Kushner "in his pocket" — a plausible claim when you look at the year-long bromance between the Trump's son-in-law and the burgeoning authoritarian.
President Trump also gave MBZ and MBS their greatest wish when he recently announced that the U.S. was going to walk away from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimpose sanctions on the regime, again against the advice of pretty much everyone who actually understood the situation. This was, of course, something Trump had long promised to do, but he was held back by cooler heads in his administration for more than a year. Iran is Saudi Arabia and the UAE's biggest regional rival, and they have been fighting a cold war which has only gotten hotter in recent years amid proxy fighting in Syria, Yemen, and Bahrain.
Indeed, the U.S. has also either looked the other way or provided assistance as the countries have conducted a brutal proxy war with Iran in the already devastated Yemen. And Trump expressed his support for MBS's unprecedented authoritarian power grab within the Saudi royal family in November.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE were also left off the president's so-called travel ban, which mostly targeted Muslim majority countries, yet didn't include the two nations where 17 of the 19 terrorists who conducted the 9/11 attacks were from.
Regardless of how they obtained it, the influence the Saudis and Emiratis have on Trump has been hard to miss.
Also, Erik Prince May Have Perjured Himself
Prince certainly seems to have his own unique version of what happened at the meeting in the Seychelles, testifying that it was not pre-planned, when all the other accounts indicate that it was. The question now is, does Nader or someone else have proof that it was planned, and that Prince was aware of, or a part of, that plan.
Also, Prince testified that he had no formal communications or contact with the Trump campaign, a claim the Times report contradicts.
And at Least Five Shady Foreign Firms are Now Linked to Trump
The three firms connected to Joel Zamel, Psy-Group, Wikistrat, and WhiteKnight, aren't the first shadowy foreign companies to get associated with Trump.
There is also Cambridge Analytica, the controversial data firm which was founded by Steve Bannon and Trump mega-donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer and then subsequently hired by the Trump campaign in 2016. The firm harvested and misused the personal data of tens of millions of U.S. Facebook users in an attempt to build psychographic profiles of voters in order to influence them, and a company whistleblower has accused the firm and its parent company, SCL, of far worse — including interference in foreign elections. SCL also reportedly did business in Russia.
And then there is Black Cube, another private Israeli intel agency (and Psy-Group rival) staffed by former Mossad agents which was reportedly hired to dig up dirt on former Obama administration officials in an effort to discredit the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. One report vaguely linked the May 2017 operation to people associated with President Trump, while other reports indicate it was for a private sector client looking to profit off of sanctions on Iran. Now that we have learned about George Nader's efforts to target Iran, and his and Erik Prince's pitch to deploy a $2 billion private army against Iran-backed forces in Yemen, the possible link between Black Cube's Iran deal op and someone in Trump's orbit seems a little more plausible.
So Is This a Big Deal? Is There Some Concrete Evidence of Collusion?
Not in this new report. No evidence has been revealed showing that the Trump campaign directly worked with the UAE or Saudi Arabia. But the story nonetheless adds to the pile of very troubling questions about how Trump officials have conducted themselves over the past few years. It also underlines what is surely a widespread perception of the president in many parts of the world, which is that he is someone who is corrupt, or corruptible. The report suggests that multiple foreign governments not only saw an opportunity to interfere in the U.S. democracy in 2016, but that they figured there was a good chance Trump and the people who surrounded him would be receptive to their advances.
It's possible that Nader met with Trump Jr. as a representative of the crown princes and was making some kind of offer on their behalf, but it's also possible he was just name dropping in an effort to ingratiate himself with what was, by most accounts, as an easy to impress audience. Nader reportedly pulled out his phone and showed Trump Jr. pictures of him with the crown princes, insisting they were his friends. Nader clearly has longstanding links to MBZ, but his connection to MBS is not well established. Furthermore, perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the Trump campaign and administration has been its ability to attract bullshit artists, starting at the very top.
But whatever Nader said or offered, and however Trump's inner circle responded, the bottom line is that Nader was subsequently awarded with continued access to the highest reaches of the U.S. government for more than a year, and seems to have helped set up at least two secret meetings between Trump aides and foreign governments. Looking at U.S. foreign policy over that time, there were also several important victories for the governments he claimed to be representing at the meeting. Nader and his potential backers may not have ultimately paid anything, but the Trump Tower meeting clearly paid off.

RedOrbit reported The renegade cleric Muqtada al-Sadr urged Iraqi forces to stop cooperating with the United States and told his guerrilla fighters to concentrate their attacks on American troops rather than Iraqis, according to a statement issued Sunday.
If he really wants the US troops out, he should be urging his people to work with the Americans as well as the Iraqi army and police, to stamp violence, because then we will leave. Attacking our forces will just get his forces killed.The statement, stamped with al-Sadr's official seal, was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Sunday - a day before a large demonstration there, called for by al-Sadr, to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad.
But his forces should not that al-Sadr himself was too chicken to show up. He wants them to do something he himself is not willing to do."You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," the statement said. Its authenticity could not be verified. In the statement, al-Sadr - who commands an enormous following among Iraq's majority Shiites and has close allies in the Shiite-dominated government - also encouraged his followers to attack only American forces, not fellow Iraqis.

If you would like to build an ethical business, your principles should be implemented in your marketing practices, as well as your structure and sales funnels. It doesn't matter if you are selling jewelry or information products, you have to play fair; not only to maintain your business reputation, but also to keep your existing customers. Marketing ethics is something that is often neglected by managers and experts, still it has a great impact on companies, performance and profitability. Below you will find five ethical considerations to check before creating your marketing strategy.
1. Marketing to Vulnerable Groups
If you are selling subscriptions to games and music downloads, it is important that you protect people who have disabilities, who are disadvantaged, or have limited decision-making skills. You will need to make sure that you are not allowing gambling addicts to get their hands on software that can make them lose money. Likewise, having an effective age verification process on your website can protect children and their families.
2. Easy Cancellations
When you are selling physical or information products on subscription, it is important that you communicate clearly how the customer can cancel their account and get a refund. The age when many supplement distributors got away with automatic billing just because the cancellation was hard is over. Now people will check the terms and conditions and want reassurances that they can change their mind about their purchases. Communicate your terms and conditions clearly on your website, in an easy-to-understand language.
3. Backed Up Claims
Highlighting the positive aspects and benefits of your product is not against the law, and is needed to develop effective marketing campaigns. Use real testimonials to build credibility, instead of using unsupported claims just to make a few extra sales. When there is evidence that your product or service works, create an infographic demonstration or a PowerPoint presentation, and list the sources.
4. Affiliates: Do Your Research
Even if you are not selling your own products or services, you should take ethics seriously. You can find a reliable WordPress landing page builder that will create a marketing message about the product, but don't just copy what the merchant has to say about their offer. Check the research, talk to real customers, and search for reviews on rating sites and social media. Be aware of the recent social media mayhem, too, and critically analyze where the information is coming from.
5. Privacy and Marketing Preferences
Finally, it is important that you respect your visitors enough to ask for permission to market to them. It is always better if you can send out weekly offers and not contact your clients through the phone than getting complaints about your marketing campaigns. Always use double opt in when asking people to sign up, and keep on updating your database, keeping personal information secure.
No matter what you are selling online, you should implement your ethical principles in your web marketing campaign to maintain your reputation and standards, keep your customers happy, and avoid complaints.

I love replicating antique adaptation rugs but also design my own. Looking at old rugs in Early American Life magazine was my inspiration to learn to hook.
Friday, July 19, 2019
Stymied, But What's New?
This afternoon I pulled myself away from the Use it Up rug to do the 'quick' finish hooking the tongues on Patriotic Pumpkins. HA! Started hooking the two tongues on the right side. They looked way too busy for the rest of the rug.
With so little of the design to hook I'm frustrated with myself for not finishing it tonight. Am thinking that saying 'less is more' is definitely true in this case. Earlier in the week friend Jennie commented to me something like..."why is it something so easy seems so difficult?" Perhaps because I've made it hard and over thinking.
For damn sure I don't like those two tongues on the right side. They will go. But tonight I'm back to my Use it Up.
Hot as Hades today. When looking at the outside temps on my thermostat, at 2 p.m. the reading was 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.78 Celsius) at 2 p.m. and usually it gets higher around 3 but didn't check.
Grass needs to be cut and Ben's backyard needs it the worse. Not pushing that mower in that kind of temp so will check the temps tomorrow after breakfast. If not then perhaps the sun and heat will just kill the grass. Okay by me ~ no grass to cut.
Stay cool and hydrate.

Sometimes it's best to set a project aside until you are refreshed and can look at it with "new" eyes. Then it's usually a case of "why didn't I just to that to begin with?" Don't ask me how I know that - choke, choke. :-)ReplyDelete
If ur not happy with it,,, but looks great to me,,,ReplyDelete
I hate pulling out! A,
Dont do it much!
Too hot here too,
Our grass bad now too, but too wet and hot to cut!
Keep cool,,,,
Your mat looks great....even the 2 toned pumpkin. I also like the two colourful tongues on the right!ReplyDelete
We are in the heat too it started late yesterday morning today and tomorrow hot hot hot. we have one air conditioner it is in our bedroom the rest is fans. I love summer but I hate this! I like the 2nd from the right tongue, call me crazy.ReplyDelete
Hi Saundra,ReplyDelete
Decisions, decisions!! I'm sure pulling if off the frame will be a big help and allow you to have some time to process!! Everyone will have a different opinion, including me, but what is most important is what YOU want!!! I know it will all come together for you!! So very sorry you are all dealing with the terrible heat wave and do hope you keep as cool and hydrated as possible!! So very happy you are just leaving the yard alone as it could be so dangerous to be out there when it is sweltering like that!! Hope the other rug will give you a nice break!!!
Take care and THINK COOL THOUGHTS, my friend!!
Heart Hugs~
Julie xo
Good luck. I do agree with you though that the tongues on the right are a bit busy. It hot here too! JaniceReplyDelete
I know you will come up with the perfect solution :)ReplyDelete

Alliance of Ohio Trauma Registrars of Ohio:
In Ohio during the late 1980's, the trauma nurse coordinators met and officially organized an Ohio group to discuss trauma, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) verification process, and Ohio trauma legislation. Kathy (Jenkins) Cookman, a registrar at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, had a vision to create a sister organization to gather those responsible for the collection of trauma data in a forum where sharing ideas on how to better accomplish job responsibilities, improve data collection, and to learn from one another was promoted. This idea was presented to the trauma nurse coordinators group and enthusiastically supported. The Alliance of Ohio Trauma Registrars (AOTR) was then established as a statewide registrars group in 1992 .
Kathy took on the leadership responsibility for the AOTR and contacted registrars around Ohio inviting them to participate. The group started small, meeting every other month in Columbus, Ohio, for discussion of trauma topics. Speakers were invited and education for the registrars expanded. The group has grown to over 75 members. The AOTR supports registrars in Ohio through meeting education, conference fee support, verification processes, data validation and Ohio legislation updates and committee participation.
Special recognition goes to Kathy Haley, Trauma Program Manager of Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and Joyce Schmidt, Trauma Coordination at Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, for being instrumental in bring this vision to life.

Today we're excited to show you the modern rustic Michigan wedding of Amanda + Michael!
Michael proposed to Amanda on Cass Lake in West Bloomfield, Mich.; here's the story from Amanda:
We had made plans to go paddleboarding one evening… There was a guy you could rent paddleboards from, but by the time we go there he was already gone for the day. We were disappointed but decided to just go on a walk through the nature trails.
After our walk we decided to sit on the dock with our feet in the water and watch people fish. As we were hanging out and talking, [Michael] told me how much he loved me and popped the big question! A total stranger who was sitting on a bench behind us saw Michael take the ring out of his pocket and grabbed his phone to take pictures for us. After we had our moment he came up and shared the sweet photos he was able to capture! It was so nice and we are grateful to have had that memory captured.
This adorable couple had such a personal and intimate wedding; held at The River Church in Holly, Mich., their wedding featured a navy blue color scheme – an homage to the sapphire stones in Amanda's engagement ring – with pops of red, Michael's favorite color. Wooden elements with carved hearts and other similar notes set the theme for a modern rustic Michigan wedding, inspired by their wedding invitation.
In fact, this theme was incorporated in a really cool way during the ceremony: Instead of the traditional unity candle or pouring sand together, the couple used a wood-burning tool during the unity ceremony to further shade in a heart that Amanda had hand-carved with their initials into a sliced round of wood. Then, at the reception, they flipped it over for their family and friends to sign as their guest "log"! (Get it?? I love puns!)
Amanda and Michael's wedding project had a special significance for us: After a tech mishap resulted in them losing more than half of their professional photographs, it became more important than ever for us to make sure they had an amazing wedding video to look back on!
In addition, their guests captured and shared a few still photographs through the Weddeo app, providing them with at least a few more photos to add to their wedding album. (Did you know that you can capture both video AND photos with the Weddeo app?)
Amanda's favorite part of the day was their first look – as she put it, "It was just the two of us (and our photographer, who I totally forgot was there at the time!) and we were able to take some time on our special day to just enjoy the moment. Your whole wedding day flies by, but it was so sweet to have 15 minutes just to ourselves to stop and cherish the moment."
We totally agree, Amanda! And on behalf of the Weddeo team, we wish you and Michael a very happy and blessed marriage, and that you'll be able to relive the wonderful memories of your day over and over again through your videos. Congratulations!

The ruins of an unusually unaltered artillery fort, built by Henry VIII to guard the port of Rye. There are monthly guided walks round Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, including the castle.
Camber Castle (or Winchelsea Castle) stands in the marshes, on a peninsula two miles N.E. of the town of Winchelsea, and about half a mile from the sea. It was erected by Henry VIII., in 1539-40, perhaps on the site of an earlier work, being one of the coast forts or block-houses, built for the protection of the southern coasts at a time when a combined attack upon England by some of the Continental Powers seemed imminent. Hall, in his Chronicle, thus alludes to these forts : "The Kynges hyghnes, whiche never ceased to stody and take payne for the advancement of the common wealth of this his realme of England, and also for the defence of al the same, was lately confourmed that the Bishop of Rome had moved and stirred dyverse great princes and potentates of Christendome to invade the reahme of England and utterly to destroy the whole nation of the same; wherefore his Majestic in his owne persone, without any deley, toke very laborious and paynefull journeyes towards the sea-coaste ; also he sent dyverse of his nobles and counsaylours to view and search all the portes and daungers on the coastes, where any week or convenient landyng place might be supposed."
Henry obtained, with much difficulty, a grant towards the cost of building block-houses, it being objected that this was a time of profound peace ; but it was urged that the keeping of his subjects in peace cost more than the most burdensome war.
The forts in question cost £23,000, or over a quarter of a million of our money. Like others erected at the same epoch, Camber Castle consists of one large, low, round tower in the centre, which served as a keep, and was surrounded by several smaller ones of the same figure set round it, each connected by short curtain walls—a poor form of military architecture, almost incapable of defence.
It is curious to remark, from a drawing in an old MS. in the British Museum representing the ancient castle which once stood at Buckenham, that the form of this is very much the same as Camber, Buckenham Castle having; been built about the year 1156. The trade of the once flourishing town of Winchelsea having been totally lost by the retreat of the sea from its harbour, whilst the growing strength of the navy protected the coasts from a hostile landing, the value of this castle ceased, and it was suffered to fall into decay and ruin. (Castles Of England, Sir James D. Mackenzie, 1896)

Our guest bathroom is a cute little room, but without a window, is only illuminated by artificial light.

Govt reviews warden arrangements at blocks for elderly
The Gibraltar Government is reviewing the issue of wardens and maintenance in all the blocks for the elderly as it works to analyse the services provided and their cost.
This comes after tenants of Albert Risso House called on the Government to put in place a full team of wardens, as it has with other buildings for senior citizens.
But, in responding yesterday, No.6 Convent Place suggested that the representations made by the Tenant's Association were "misleading in the context of the situation".
In a statement No.6 said Albert Risso House and Bishop Canilla House were built by the previous administration who established a different set of arrangements for wardens, security and maintenance in Albert Risso House from those at Bishop Canilla House.
Albert Risso House is much bigger than any of the other elderly persons' homes and as a result, the function of its wardens is on security whilst maintenance and repair works are undertaken by another contractor, No.6 said.
In contrast, wardens in all the other, smaller, blocks carry out the function of both security warden and caretaker dealing with repairs, it added.
"Therefore, the wardens at Albert Risso House have a different, narrower role to the wardens at the other blocks and itis misguided to make comparisons between the two," the Government said.
But, it insisted that the overall service provided in the blocks for the elderly is the same, despite the reality that there may be a difference in the hours worked by the individual warden at Albert Risso House.
"In addition, there is a duty rota for response to panic buttons at all times, this includes after hours. Earlier this year, the front door lock at Albert Risso House was upgraded to a FOB system and the premises are more secure as a result."
Additionally, the Government insisted that its "significant increase" in investment in domiciliary care has benefitted all tenants of Albert Risso House.
"As a result, many more people now benefit from home help than ever before."
The Government further explained that the issue of wardens and maintenance in all the blocks for the elderly is currently under review and there has been an in-depth analysis of all the services provided and their costs.
"The results of this analysis are now being studied by the Minister for Housing and her teams at the Housing Department and the Housing Works Agency."
"These teams are close to completing this work and are expected to make recommendations regarding the best way of providing the best service at the best value for money by the end of the year."

How the skin becomes inflamed
Publishing online this week in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers at Johns Hopkins report the discovery of a key underlying immune mechanism that explains why to how our skin becomes inflamed from conditions such as atopic dermatitis, more commonly known as eczema. Toxin-producing bacteria on the surface of our skin induces a protein that causes our own cells to react and cause inflammation.
"Our skin is covered with bacteria as part of our normal skin microbiome and typically serves as a barrier that protects us from infection and inflammation. However, when that barrier is broken, the increased exposure to certain bacteria really causes problems," says Lloyd Miller, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of dermatology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, or S. aureus, is an important human pathogen and the most common cause of skin infections in people. Miller says, "20 to 30 percent of the U.S. population have S. aureus living on their skin or in their nose, and over time, up to 85 percent of people come into contact with it. Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease that affects 20 percent of children and about 5 percent of adults. Ninety percent of patients with eczema have exceedingly high numbers of S. aureus bacteria on their inflamed skin."
"We don't really know what causes atopic dermatitis and there aren't many good treatments for it," says Miller. So his team set out to learn more about how the condition arises in hopes that other treatments can be developed.
It was previously shown by others that a rare disease called generalized pustular psoriasis (in which the skin erupts into pustules) was caused by a genetic mutation that resulted in unrestrained activity of a protein normally produced in our skin, called IL-36. This, says Miller, was a clue that IL-36 might have something to do with how bacteria on the skin surface induce inflammation. So they set out to test this idea in mice. They soaked a small gauze pad with S. aureus and applied it to the back skin of normal mice and those that had been genetically engineered to lack the receptor for IL-36 that triggers inflammatory responses. Miller's team found the normal mice developed scaly and inflamed skin, and the genetically engineered mice lacking IL-36 activity had almost no skin inflammation.
"We are very excited about these results as there is currently only a single biologic treatment targeting an inflammatory mechanism in atopic dermatitis on the market. As there are patients who don't respond or have treatment failures, it would be better if there were biologics on the market that target alternative mechanisms involved in skin inflammation," says Miller.
Untreated eczema can lead to other allergic conditions, including asthma, food allergies, seasonal allergies and conjunctivitis. Blocking the skin inflammation in eczema has the potential to prevent these unwanted conditions.

"Your readers responded well to an earlier question about need for help with our (then-Danish, now US/worldwide) website of Viking Age artifacts in replica at VikingTrader.net. We used some of the suggestions to good effect and also your special report on how to get into the inflight magazines.
"Now we have another question that may apply to all of us with websites. How and where do we get into the competition for 'best websites' sponsored by various publications? I think U.S. News & World Report does this, but I'm sure that there are many more. Have you have any suggestions?

Conditioner shine
Max Hold foam
Max Hold hairspray
Shampoo Volume
|after each section that you've curled use the Max Hold hairspray so that when you're done, the curls are still in place. after you've finished with your whole hair, go over it with the hairspray once again.
I wanted to tell you how I created this wavy curls look.
1/ I washed my hair with the Wella Pro Series shampoo (volume) and conditioner (shine).
2/ blow dry until the hair is not to wet and use the Max Hold Foam. You just need a small amount of the foam, the size of a golf ball. Then blow-dry until your hair is completely dry.
3/ First separate your hair into 2 main sections(each side of your head). Then separate each section into smaller sections.The smaller the section to curl, the longer the curl will hold!
4/ curl each hair section (starting from the back of your head), then spray the Max Hold hairspray on each section that you've curled.
5/ For the finishing result : go over the complete hairdo with the Max Hold hairspray once again.
Tada :-) you're done . What do you think of this hairdo ? Would you try it ?

Matthew 13:24-30, 34-43; Mark 4:33-34
The Enemy of the Kingdom
Again a parable begins, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to…." That is the purpose of Jesus' parables – to teach us about His kingdom. This parable tells us that there is an enemy within the kingdom, a very real enemy, and he is the devil, otherwise called "the evil one." We actually have three enemies: our "flesh," by which Scripture denominates our sinful nature, the world, which is not our friend (1 John 5:19), and as we have already said, the devil. The devil as "the tempter" uses the other two to trip us up any way he can. Yes, we have an enemy, and he truly hates us.
In this parable, Jesus uses an illustration that his listeners would have been very familiar with. Wheat was a staple of that time, much like today. So after the master of the house and his servants finished their work and slept, an enemy, the evil one, came and sowed weeds among the wheat. Now I have read that this weed was probably something called "darnel." The "demonic" character of this particular weed is that when it first appears, it is indistinguishable from the wheat. It is only after some maturation that the difference appears – and then it is too late to do anything but let the wheat and weeds grow together until the harvest when they can be separated. Jesus explains the parable to his disciples, how the wheat represents the children of the kingdom, the weeds the children of the evil one, and the harvest the end of the world; the weeds are burned up and the wheat gathered into the barn. So far the meaning is unmistakable.
But there are other lessons here. To begin, sometimes the wheat and weeds are indistinguishable – sad but true. Furthermore, we should never judge one's salvation; that is for God alone. Sometimes the most "godly" is the biggest hypocrite while the one we think the greatest sinner actually more humble and repentant. But there is something else here: It seems that God has ordained that evil, though brought on by the fall, is part of God's plan. It is necessary that the weeds and the wheat grow together; God forbids the taking of either one out of the world before the time which He has appointed. One day, He will, and the righteous shall shine like the sun with no evil to hinder them. So God's sovereignty is shown in that He uses everything for His purpose, even evil. And do not understand the parable to be teaching that the devil "created" the weeds. The devil can create nothing; that is something only God can do. But he does corrupt; that is how he "sows." Finally, these parables were hidden from the foundation of the world until revealed by Jesus. What a bounty the gospels are to us!

Notre Dame College Men's Rugby hosted the U.S. Naval Academy on Saturday, September 10th in a match between two quality D1 rugby programs. The Notre Dame College Falcons are proving that last year's trip to the USA Rugby National Finals was not a fluke, as their program continues to flourish under Head Coach Jason Fox.
Prior to the match, a Remembrance ceremony was held in honor of the men and women of the armed forces, as well as the Services that have also given so much, the Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services.
Notre Dame College emerged from the match with a 27-8 win over Navy. With the win, the Falcons are 3-0, after also beating Wheeling Jesuit and St. Bonaventure, who play in the tough Rugby East D1A Rugby Conference.
Jason Fox has the team firing on all cylinders. The team has applied defensive pressure on teams and has used that pressure to create attacking opportunities.
Next Saturday, September 17th, the team will travel to Middle Tennessee State and hopes to return with another win.
Navy, who opened their season against Notre Dame College, is coached by Mike Flanagan. He is an experienced coach and the team will regroup and provide a challenge on Saturday when they travel to play Dartmouth.

Peter Lance is the man
His book 1,000 Years for Revenge was my gateway drug to the labyrinthe world of books about 9/11.
Lance's unbridled 1,000 Years is to 9/11 what Behold A Pale Horse is to the world of conspiracy theorem. 1,000 Years was probably the only book I've ever bought multiple copies of after reading to hand out as gifts; I couldn't wait for it to come out on paperback; I found it that important.
Now my boy Peter has a beef with ABC. It's a lot of reading so I won't cut & paste here, but have a look if it piques your interest. And if you haven't read 1,000 Years for Revenge yet, I suggest you pick a copy post haste.

The U.S. firearm homicide rate spiked 35% in 2020, the first full year of the coronavirus pandemic, rising to the highest level in almost three decades of record-keeping, according to data released this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The agency reported 19,350 firearm homicides in the U.S. in 2020, compared with 18,253 in 1993, the first year for which Bureau of Justice Statistics data are available, although the per capita death toll was higher that year.
Gun homicides increased across every age group and ethnicity, as well as in rural, suburban and metropolitan areas. The increase was disproportionately felt by non-Hispanic Black males between the ages of 10 and 44, however. Rates of firearm homicide were higher at higher poverty levels, where they also showed larger increases.
The CDC also reported 24,245 cases of suicide by gun in 2020, a 1.4% rise over the previous year. The bulk of the increase occurred among non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native populations, where the rate of suicide by firearm increased by 41.8%.
"The tragic and historic increase in firearm homicide and the persistently high rates of firearm suicide underscore the urgent need for action to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. "By addressing factors contributing to homicide and suicide, and providing support to communities, we can help stop violence now and in the future."
The extreme prevalence of guns in the U.S. makes comparing firearm homicide rates in America with those in other countries difficult. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, however, compared overall homicide rates during the early months of the pandemic in several countries. In most cases, homicides fell sharply during the early stages of the pandemic, when lockdowns were in force across many nations.
In most countries, the homicide rate rebounded later in the year, bringing numbers back toward recent averages. Some countries, such as Spain, South Africa and Kazakhstan, experienced sharp increases in the homicide rate in the latter part of 2020.
Economic link
According to CDC data, 79% of all homicides in the U.S. in 2020 involved firearms, up from between 73% and 75% during the previous five years. Guns were used in 53% of suicides in the same year, up from between 50% and 51% in the previous five years.
The CDC data demonstrated a high level of association between elevated firearms homicide and suicide rates and poor economic conditions, including income inequality, unemployment, and housing and economic instability.
"Firearm homicide rates were lowest and increased least at the lowest poverty level (from 2.0 to 2.4 per 100,000 persons) and were higher and showed larger increases at higher poverty levels (e.g., from 7.7 to 10.8 at the highest level)," the report found. "By race and ethnicity, rates were highest and increased most among Black people at the two highest poverty levels. Associations between poverty and firearm suicide are also evident."
Calls for action
The CDC report called for a "comprehensive" approach in addressing the factors known to contribute to gun violence.
"The increases in firearm homicide rates and persistently high firearm suicide rates in 2020, with increases among populations that were already at high risk, have widened disparities and heightened the urgency of actions that can have immediate and lasting benefits," the report found.
"State and local governments, community partners, and health care and other service providers can use the best available evidence to implement comprehensive approaches to prevent homicide and suicide, including addressing physical, social and structural conditions that contribute to violence and disparities," it said.
Among the various efforts the agency recommended were measures to "enhance economic and household stability" — community-based efforts to reach people at the highest risk of gun violence through conflict resolution, suicide prevention services and other programs. The agency also recommended raising awareness about safe firearms storage options to reduce access to guns by children and others who should not have them.
Causes unclear
In discussing its findings, the CDC said the data do not support any specific claims about why gun homicides rose as sharply as they did in 2020.
"The findings of this study do not support causal inferences, and reasons for increasing rates and widening inequities are unclear and potentially complex," the agency said. Among a number of possible drivers, it said, were increased stress and "disruptions in health, social and emergency services during the COVID-19 pandemic"; damaged relationships between communities and law enforcement agencies; increases in firearm purchases; and the exacerbation of long-standing economic disparities in high-risk communities.
Advocates on both sides of the gun control debate had their own ideas about the reasons behind the increase in gun homicides, however.
"Record increases in gun sales, children homebound like never before, social isolation, and economic struggles due to COVID-19 put many people at increased risk for gun violence," the group Everytown for Gun Safety said in a statement. "The pandemic has also highlighted the danger of having weak gun laws that enable easy access to firearms by people with dangerous histories."
Fred Guttenberg, a gun safety activist, pointed to the sharp increase in firearm sales during the pandemic as the root of the problem. Guttenberg's daughter, Jaime, was murdered in 2018 during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida,
On Twitter, he wrote, "Nobody should be surprised that gun deaths reached the highest level ever recorded in the United States in 2020. Sadly, this was predictable & preventable. And we did nothing. A gun surge was unleashed during COVID & the results have been deadly."
In fact, while the absolute number of firearm homicides set a record in 2020, Bureau of Justice Statistics data show the rate of gun homicides was higher in 1993, at about 7 per 100,000. The rate was 6.1 per 100,000 in 2020, according to the CDC.
Democrats blamed
"I would point out, first of all, that last year from coast to coast — in other words, from Philadelphia to Portland (Oregon), we saw in Democrat-controlled cities homicide records being set," Erich Pratt, senior vice president of the Gun Owners of America advocacy group, told VOA.
Pratt said numerous public policy decisions made at the local level by "leftist politicians" caused a spike in violent crime, including the abolition of cash bail, early release of certain criminal defendants, and calls to "defund" the police.
"The murder rate, which had been on a downward trend for over 20 years, all of a sudden spiked over the last two years," Pratt said. "And that's not surprising, given what was happening."
In an email exchange with VOA, National Rifle Association spokesman Lars Dalseide said, "As communities across the country chose to defund law enforcement, elect soft-on-crime prosecutors, prematurely release dangerous prisoners and institute no-cash bail, no one should be surprised to see an uptick in violent crime."

Berkeley Jury finds Antifa NOT GUILTY of Violent Beating of Trump Supporter — Despite Multiple Witnesses!
The judge allowed Antifa and BAMN to pack every seat in the courtroom every day, where they constantly booed, and hissed and held up banners and interrupted witnesses, etc. The entire trial was a circus - and the judge never once stopped it or threatened a mistrial! Completely insane. Antifa members even stalked the jurors and yelled threats and lies at them during the trial! Mind-boggling.

Football is shadowed by a bad reputation for its reception and treatment of the LGBT community.
Indeed, much has been made of the almost total lack of publicly gay footballers at all levels for fear of reprisals and abuse from fans, other players and even colleagues.
So it's heartening that many clubs are taking positive steps to include everybody in life's rich tapestry. Norwich City are the latest to make such a move. The Championship club are sponsoring the city's upcoming Norwich Pride event taking place this weekend.
The club will be flying the LGBT rainbow flag above Carrow Road and their Captain Canary mascot will be joining in the festivities before Saturday afternoon's pre-season friendly against German club Hannover 96.
All good so far, of course. But there's always one, and here's a shout out to the Canaries' social media captain who hit back at one puzzled supporter in superb fashion.
Having announced their Pride sponsorship and providing a link to the day's fun and frolics on Facebook, one mean-spirited commenter retorted: "What the hell has this to do with football?"
After cracking their knuckles and grinning wildly (probably), the person running Norwich's account replied simply: "Everything"…
And they're right of course. Football is a unique sport and one rightly enjoyed by millions – nay, BILLIONS – worldwide.
History and circumstance has pushed the LGBT community to the fringes of the game a lot of the time, and it means "everything" to the game that people of all stripes, sexuality, colour and religion are encouraged to join in.
Top marks for the Canaries. This little birdie wishes them the best of luck for the upcoming season.
