- For other places with the same name, see Tuzla (disambiguation).
Tuzla is the third largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in one of the most important industrial Bosnian regions. The city was hardly directly targeted by the war, except for an incident near the end of the war, when 72 people were killed by a shell fired into the Old Town during the evening. Nowadays, the city's economy is still predominantly based around industry, although there has been significant development in tourism in the 21st century.
Get in[edit]
Travelling to Tuzla is easy from the south, less so from the Republika Srpska or Serbia. Do not trust the bus timetable on the black board in the main bus station, as these times were universally inaccurate!
By bus[edit]
- 1 Tuzla bus station (Autobuska stanica Tuzla), Bosne Srebrene 60. There is a kiosk, ticket office and toilet inside station. Always ask in ticket counter/information for current schedule. Timetable inside bus station doesn't cover all connections and it is not always up-to date.
From Sarajevo[edit]
There are many buses (first M-F at 09:30, Sa Su at 10:00, last at 18:50 - 1-2 per hour) from Sarajevo to Tuzla. Also there are buses (first at 04:00, last at 18:00- 1-2 per hour) from Tuzla to Sarajevo. One-way ticket costs 13-20 BAM (depends on bus company) and journey takes 3 hours.

By train[edit]
Trains to Tuzla are slow and quite infrequent, extensive damage to rail infrastructure during the conflict in Bosnia and Hercegovina in the 1990s is mainly to blame but also financial constraints. However, the national operator ZFBH still manages to run trains from Doboj, where there are connections with Sarajevo.

Bosnia has beautiful countryside. The best place to travel is to Osman's old house. It is wonderful.
The first place to visit is the square at the center of the old town. This is the site of the Tuzla Massacre, where 72 young people were killed in 1995. Ask a local to translate the poem carved into the monument. Then walk over to the park where the 72 young people are buried. The old town is very nice and the park is very beautiful.

Buses run very regularly to Lukavac, about 20 minutes away. From here, a ten minute taxi takes you to Lake Modrac, a large lake with a few restaurants. Due to industrial pollution, however, it is not safe to swim in the lake.
A more promising destination is Lake Bistarac. Take a local bus for Lukavac, and get off just before the town. Up a hill lies a clean freshwater lake. There is a minimal entry charge, with a small extra charge for use of the slide into the lake. Stalls and a restaurant serve food.
Kladanj, about 90 minutes away by bus towards Sarajevo, is a small, attractive town with many little restaurants, and small ski-resort nearby.

Understanding the Responsibilities of Breeding French Bulldogs

Popular Supplements and Medication for Weight Loss
For those trying to lose weight, there are a lot of options. It's not all about dieting and exercising. These are important parts of losing weight and getting your health back, but they are not your only options or the only methods you may want to use. In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, you can use medication and weight loss supplements to help you shed those pounds. In fact, if you are planning to use any weight loss pills, then you will probably need to diet and exercise to ensure their effectiveness.
What most of them do is not cause weight to fall off but allow it to fall off more easily. If you are struggling with losing weight the old-fashioned way, then some weight loss medication may be just what you need to start seeing success.
A lot of weight loss supplements will simply help you to feel full. They may decrease your appetite and thus decrease your caloric intake. If you have fewer cravings, then you won't be as likely to eat as much. This can work well, but many people still struggle to eat less than what they are used to.Others target your metabolism and give you more energy by burning fat. Caffeine, green coffee bean extract and a lot of other natural weight loss supplements just use everyday ingredients or natural herbs to boost your metabolic rate and allow you to get rid of fat faster. These have some drawbacks in that taking too much of them can be hard on your heart or lead to caffeine addiction, since most of them contain some form of caffeine.
Then you have supplements that block fat absorption in the body. One of the better examples of this is orlistat, which is a well-regarded weight loss medication. It prevents your body from turning fatty foods into stored fat, and your body simply uses that fat as energy or passes it out as waste. As you can imagine, the latter results can be unpleasant, but it makes it far easier to eat a lot of the same foods you always have and not have to worry much about how much fat your body is taking on.
With any of these, proper dieting and exercise will make them far more effective. While a lot of the weight loss supplements can decrease how many calories you are taking in and stop new fatty tissue from forming, they don't tend to do much to the fat that is already there. That's where the dieting and exercise come in. Once you are taking medication that blocks new fat from forming, it will be much easier to deal with the fat already on your body. You'll have to engage in some healthy lifestyle choices if you want to do anything about the fat already on your body, and it will be much easier to do so once you are taking a weight loss supplement.
You do need to be careful of weight loss medication that makes all sorts of incredible promises. A lot of the claims could end up being marketing puffery or outright lies.
Many times, you will see weight loss supplements being recalled or relabelled because of false advertising and erroneous claims. You should be careful about which one you choose and make sure that there is research to back up the claims and support the notion of a particular supplement being effective at helping you to lose weight. You should also choose one that manages to help you reduce fatty tissue through safe means. That's not something that every supplement can promise honestly, and it's an important detail that will make it much easier for you to lose weight with the right supplement.

text: Nip + Fab. I believe that they key to a flawless face lies with the first 3 products you put on your face before makeup: 1. Face Wash. 2. Moisturiser. 3 The Primer. I have tried many primers from local drugstores to a top designers brand and so far I have not found one that has worked wonders for my skin. My skin type varies, some days its really dry and others its slightly oily on my forehead. So when I received my Nip+Fab Sheer Make-Up Complexion Perfector I couldn't wait to give it a try. I have heard amazing things about the Nip + Fab products and there is not a magazine that I have read lately that hasn't featured one of their products. "This multi-tasking wonder gel instantly evens out skin tone and texture while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. A unique clear formula for a natural and healthy looking glow without make-up". It contains: Osilift (reduces the appearance of wrinkles). Hyaluronic Acid (hydrates and smoothes the appearance of fine lines). Oat (softens and moisturises the skin). To use apply to a cleansed face and neck. Wear alone for a natural and even look or under makeup as a smoothing primer. I personally cannot live without my foundation so I have opted to use this as a primer. It comes in a 40ml tube and is a cloudy/clear ish gel which has a hint of citrus in the scent. Nothing over powering though. Its really thin and a little goes a long way. Its not sticky nor heavy. I would say leave it for about 5 minutes before applying your foundation though just so it has enough time to be absorbed into the skin. My skin feels and looks smooth and has a natural glow even with all of the makeup that I have piled on.

Rights' Commissions report on progress
The Scottish Human Rights Commission has published their annual report. The 11th year of the Commission has seen significant developments, including:
- a human rights outcome within the National Performance Framework;
- a review of mental health and incapacity law based on protecting human rights;
- UN review into UK implementation of women's rights, with the Commission making 27 recommendations for further action;
- debate and an inquiry into use of cyber kiosks – means to take data from mobile phones – by Police Scotland;
- a first court intervention by the Commission, in a case related to Serco lock-changes.
Judith Robertson, Chair of the Scottish Human Rights Commission said:
'… we remain grounded in the reality that too many people in Scotland still do not have their rights met in many aspects of life. While our vision of a rights-respecting Scotland is shared by an increasing range of stakeholders, much more needs to be done in practical terms to translate that vision into reality.'
Meanwhile, the Children's Commissioner for Children & Young People's annual report looks at a year where the law changed to give children equal protection from assault, and the age of criminal responsibility was raised. The Commissioner published a report into restraint and seclusion in Scotland's schools revealed serious inconsistencies in the governance and monitoring of incidents, in violation of children's human rights. They have also supported children and young people as human rights defenders, taking part in UN discussions and urging the Parliament to better support young human rights defenders.

With its rich ethnic heritage, glorious summer weather and accessible neighborhoods, Cleveland has always been known for its festivals.
But the dirty little secret is this: Most of our festivals have featured beer, bratwurst and bad entertainment. What could be an ethereal artistic event turn into a shopping mall on the Cuyahoga with soulless vendors and stages full of has-beens. The once-proud Riverfest deteriorated into a Flats free-for-all. Our massive-scale Mall events have been turned over to festival-in-a-box promoters who have no feel for our local assets.
Cleveland can do better than this. There's no question that we've got the talent in this town — it just needs a better showcase. The good news is, with our top-notch arts groups and nonprofit organizations, a well-run, artistic festival event can be more than just a dream.
We'll point you to a few fantastic festival-type ideas below, but let's also plant a seed. Why let other towns steal our thunder with their citywide arts festivals that attract people from the wider region? If Clevelanders work together and coordinate th city's existing arts offerings, we could put on a singular, breathtaking, citywide arts festival that would draw from that huge chunk of the North American population that lives within a 500-mile radius of Cleveland. That's called driving distance, folks, and that's Cleveland's festival future.

LANCASTER, PA (August 25, 2014) – As part of its celebration of 90 years of volunteer service to Lancaster County, the Junior League of Lancaster (JLL) held an anniversary gala for its members and their guests on June 20, 2014. At the gala, attendees voted to award the net proceeds of ticket and signature cocktail sales to one of 10 past JLL projects. To the surprise and delight of attendees, Aaron's Acres and Hands-on House Children's Museum tied for first place due to their impact on children, an ongoing focus of the JLL. The $1,800 net proceeds were awarded evenly between the two winning organizations.
JLL President Amy Hartz, accompanied by immediate Past President Noelle Fassnacht and 90th Anniversary Celebration Committee Co-Chairs Bev Breniser and Ann Carter, visited both organizations on August 5, 2014 to award their staff directors with the proceeds and to reconnect with their programs.
Hands-on House Children's Museum is an original project of the JLL. During 1984-85, the JLL established its Youth Museum Project Task Force to consider the potential development of a children's "touch" museum in the Pierce Landis House on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Farm Museum, and donated close to $10,000 to upstart the project. Since 1987, Hands-on House has served Lancaster County and its visitors as a not-for-profit educational center which creates and
provides interactive learning opportunities for all children and families through self-directed exhibits and programs.
Aaron's Acres has provided individuals with special needs ages 5-21 year-round, therapeutically based, age-appropriate recreational programs directly by specially trained and certified staff in a supportive environment since 1998. While not an original JLL project, the League partnered with Aaron's Acres for 5+ years by offering its volunteer services toward facilitating Aaron's Acres School Year Program, as well as its Summer Carnival.
Learn more about joining the JLL, as well as its projects, programs, and fundraisers, at www.jllancaster.org.

When you understand what love is and what it isn't, there is no option but to unconditionally love your self because it is the only causeless and abiding source of happiness.

Cereal and milk—one of the greatest food pairings ever created. But this is America, so, naturally, it's time to step it up a notch. Meet: the Froot Loops milkshake.
Launching April 17, Burger King will offer vanilla soft-serve with crushed Froot Loops cereal. It will also include a "sweet sauce," so it's more than just ice cream and fruity cereal (as if that's not enough).
Before you think this is just a prank like the early April Fool's Day joke the burger chain hit us with in March (Whopper Toothpaste? No thanks!), it is indeed the real deal. The shake will only be around for a limited time though, so make sure you get it before it's gone.
Burger King has had seasonal shakes before—gingerbread, red velvet Oreo, pumpkin spice Oreo, Oreo mint—but this is their first breakfast shake, if you can call it that. Perhaps the timing has something to do with the bright, spring-like colors?
RELATED: Marshmallow Peeps Oreos Are Apparently Causing A Surprising Side Effect
Speaking of those colors, sorry to be the ones to tell you, but your childhood tantrum of "I only like the blue ones" is totally all in your head. The colors actually all taste the same and have since their introduction in 1963.
Wikipedia confirms, "The cereal pieces are ring-shaped (hence 'loops') and come in a variety of bright colors and a blend of fruit flavors (hence 'froot')," and not "fruit." That's right, your childhood breakfast was just a bowl of rainbow lies.
While we're at it, we might as well let you know Cap'n Crunch didn't even serve in the military. Childhood beliefs officially shattered. Nothing a Froot Loops milkshake for $2.99 can't fix though!
RELATED: Twinkies Ice Cream And Other New Flavors You'll Want To Try Straight Away
If you just can't wait for Burger King's newest creation, you can try your hand at making your own. Bonus—this page includes recipes for different kinds of cereal milkshakes. Breakfast (or dessert?) lovers, rejoice!

In my practice, I see it frequently that a coach allowed a patient to return to play after suffering a concussion and still symptomatic. The popular movie, "Concussion" starring Will Smith, brought to light the grave damage recurrent concussions can cause on the brain to the general American population. Yet, for some, the future neurological complications pale in comparison to winning the game, being the best.
Adults in a professional league such as the NFL can make informed choices to determine if they want to place their own brains at risk. Children and teenagers cannot. Concussion is much wider spread that many previously thought. My youngest concussion patient was a nine year old girl who sustained it during a head collision playing soccer. Teens on their high school football teams fall victims many times. However, they do not all possess the knowledge at the high school level to determine when a player can safely return to play. Not all high school teams bring along their own team of doctors to every game or even have a trainer. Sometimes, it is just a coach or two making the decision. Over the past decade, return to play guidelines were developed and are now quite spelt out. It should never happen that any athlete, professional or playing PeeWee football, be allowed to return to play before the guidelines specify.
What is a Concussion?
The word concussion is derived from Latin and means literally to "shake violently". It is usually caused by a sudden direct hit to the head. The brain sits in a basin of fluid surrounded by the skull. The brain can sometimes move around in this fluid when it is jolted. In addition to the brain being bruised, injury can happen to the blood vessels and nerves.
What are the signs and symptoms of concussion?
- Headache or head pressure
- Loss of consciousness
- Confusion
- Amnesia regarding the trauma
- Dizziness
- Tinnitus
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Delayed response to questions
- Fatigue
- Appearing dazed
- Impairments in memory and concentration
- Irritability
- Personality changes
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Sleep disruption
- Abnormalities in taste and smell
- Unsteady gait
- Change in eating habits
Because children and toddlers have a larger skull space to brain size, they are especially susceptible to concussion. It is more difficult to diagnose it in these ages.
The diagnosis of concussion is made by the patient's history. A careful neurological and cognitive exam should be performed by a physician. Either a CT scan or MRI should be done to rule out other diagnoses such as intracranial bleeds. Some patients need to be hospitalized depending on the severity of the concussion. Others can be observed at home. A person with a concussion may need to be awakened several times during the first 24 hours to ensure they are not getting worse. The mainstay of treatment for concussion is rest, both physical and mental. Children may need to stay out of school for a time because anything than requires strenuous mental activity often makes symptoms worse.
Regarding knowing when to return to play, the CDC guidelines are most often implemented. These guidelines apply to any athlete of any age, whether playing competitive or recreational sports. The decision for a younger athlete to return to play is not determined on the sidelines. Rather, it often happens in the exam room or emergency room days to weeks after the trauma. The physician must monitor both physical and cognitive activities, consider the history of concussion(s), and individualize the plan to that specific athlete. If a concussion presents to the ER, they should be referred to a healthcare provider who can follow up with them over time. The CDC recommends that no player should return to play from the ER, whether the same day or on a future date.
Return to Play Progression:
Baseline/No symptoms: The player must have completed the physical and cognitive rest and have had no symptoms for a period of 24 hours. For younger athletes, more conservative measures should be implemented.
Step 1/Light Aerobic activity: The goal here is only to increase the athlete's heart rate and last no more than 5-10 minutes. No weight lifting, jumping or hard running should be done during this stage.
Stage 2/Moderate activity: The goal of this stage is limited body and head movement and the duration should be less than the usual routine. Activities that can be included here include moderate jogging, brief running, moderate intensity stationary bike, and moderate intensity weight lifting.
Stage 3/Heavy, non-contact activity: The goal of this stage is to increase the intensity but still avoid the contact. The athlete should be nearing his/her usual routine. Activities that can be included here include running, high intensity stationary bike, the athlete's regular weight lifting routine and non-contact sport specific drills. This stage may add some cognitive component.
Stage 4/ Practice and full competition: The goal here is to return to full contact practice.
Stage 5/Competition: The goal here is to return to competition.
These stages are not meant to be completed in days' time but rather over a period of weeks to months. It is very important to continue monitoring neurologic and cognitive functioning. The athlete should only progress to the next stage when there are no symptoms present. If symptoms do develop, the athlete should return to rest. When he/she remains asymptomatic for 24 hours, then he/she can resume activity at the previous stage.
If the patient has worsening symptoms at any time or the symptoms did not resolve after 10-14 days then a referral should be made to a specialist. Additionally, if the patient has a history of recurrent concussions or other underlying factors, a specialist referral is appropriate.
While the guidelines are carefully defined, we live in a society where there is pressure to excel, and return to play, The guidelines sometimes get put on the sidelines in the rush for victory. According to Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson, "You are supposed to be tough. You are supposed to play through pain. You are not supposed to cry. We are taught that early on in the game as kids. Tough sport. Brutal sport. It's like the gladiator. People want to see big hits. They wind up on Sports Center. And as a player, you don't want to admit that you are injured". Other players were quoted as saying that they hide concussions to keep playing. But at what cost? We now know that repeated concussions can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy. When will the brains of these players in the pros be more valued than their tackling skills?
And it us not just professional athletes feeling the pressure. I see it many times in my practice when the father of a quarterback at the local high school wants him to be rushed back into the game so the school doesn't lose the championship. I see it when the coach of the local soccer team calls and tells me "the kid looks good, we need him tonight". I see it every time a coach rushed an athlete with a concussion back into the game without any medical attention at all. Really, is a high school football championship so much more important than your child's healthy brain? Please don't ask me to abandon the guidelines to produce a champion, I will always say no. Someone needs to protect these young athletes' brains. Will you?

Trail mixes are one of the best snacking alternatives that you can take. Trail mix is actually a combination of dried fruits, nuts, and sometimes other ingredients. Some trail mixes of today include candy and chocolates along with the traditional ingredients.
If you eat trail mixes for your snacks then you are eating something healthy. The traditional trail mixes are a combination of common foods which are naturally nutritious but some companies have added less healthy ingredients to it including sugar, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. If your trail mix is organize and all natural with no sugar, then this is the best kind of trail mix to snack on. Some manufacturers put more sugar in dried fruits to make them sweeter but even without sugar, they are already naturally sweet.
If you are eating healthy snacks on a regular basis, it can make a surprising difference to your health and weight loss goals. It is not only for weight loss that you eat healthy snacks. You should eat healthy snacks all the time. Potato chips, donuts, and candy bars are favorite snack items but these are unhealthy and should not be eaten especially in between meals. Their nutritional value is very small but they have huge amounts of sugar, salt, and empty calories. Fruit has natural sugar and nuts are high in protein and healthy fat. A healthy trail mix consists of organic dried fruits and nuts.
It is important that foods be consumed moderately. Trail mix can also be fattening if eating regularly without control. if you are looking for a healthy snack to eat every day, resist mixes with chocolate. Chocolates are high in sugar and calories even if we think that they are considered healthy because they are high in antioxidants. Treat chocolates as an occasional treat but stick to nutritious trail mixes for your everyday snacking.
Today, high quality trail mixes include superfruits like blueberries, goji berries and other fruits that are high in antioxidants. They are, however, more expensive than traditional mixes that are composed of raisins, apricots, and other less costly fruits. Mixes with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds are the extra healthy trail mixes.
If you look at regular trail mixes, they usually contain more peanuts which is one of the less healthy nuts. If the peanuts used are non organic, then they are heavily sprayed, and they are also high in calories and contain a less than ideal omega 6 to omega 3 fat ratio. You can still eat peanuts that are organically farmed. A combination of almonds, walnuts, cashews or pecans which are the healthiest nuts make up an ideal trail mix.
You can take your healthy trail mix to work or to school or wherever you are going. Make sure you always bring your healthy snack around so that you don't get tempted to each junk foods on your break time.

Among several cannabis-related bills that cleared California's state house before the last legislative session came to close is one that would lift the tax burden on medical marijuana providers. The bill is intended to again open space for "compassionate care," which was ironically squeezed out under California's adult-use regulation regime.
As California's legislative session neared its end on Aug. 31, a flurry of bills to reform the state's legal cannabis program came to the floor. Among those that passed, and now await Gov. Jerry Brown's signature, is one that could make a big difference to medical marijuana patients and providers.
The bill, SB-829, introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, an openly gay progressive Democrat, would exempt "compassionate care" programs from paying the state cannabis taxes imposed by Prop 64 when providing free medical marijuana to financially disadvantaged people suffering from serious health conditions.
The text of Proposition 64, California's 2016 legalization initiative, called for a "feasibility study" for non-profit cannabis providers, but this has been put off until 2020. This has left compassionate care programs in the legal lurch—subject to the same taxes as for-profit cannabis businesses, an often incapacitating financial burden.
As Bay Area Reporter notes, this is fueling a black market—the very thing Prop 64 was intended to do away with. The San Francisco-based gay community weekly notes the emergence of a "sesh" (session) scene, with underground dealers meeting up at private parties to sell discounted cannabis. Fortunately, the BAR quotes Debby Goldsberry, chief executive officer of Magnolia Oakland dispensary, expressing confidence that Brown will sign SB-829.
Other bills pending
Another measure related to taxation of cannabis that passed the Legislature is AB 1863. As Cannabis Business Times explains in its round-up of the session's bills, AB 1863 would allow tax deductions for commercial cannabis activity. It would change a provision of California law mandating that the state tax code "conform" to federal tax law. Specifically, it would remove the stipulation that the state code must mirror the Internal Revenue Service's notorious Code 280E, which bars deductions for any commerce involving Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 controlled substances. Cannabis and cannabinoids, of course, have Schedule 1 classification under the federal Controlled Substances Act—that for drugs with no medical value.
Also passed and awaiting Brown's signature is SB 1127, which would allow parents to administer medical marijuana products to their ailing children on school grounds. This bill has been dubbed Jojo's Act, after a wheelchair-bound South San Francisco high school student who suffers from a severe form of epilepsy, and depends on regular doses of cannabis oil to prevent debilitating seizures.
Then there's AB 1793, which would expunge all cannabis-related convictions from 1975 to 2016, potentially impacting nearly 220,000 cases.
Those that didn't make it
Another bill related to the social justice questions around cannabis, and addressing the racist legacy of prohibition, was SB 1294. This would have put in place a statewide "equity" program modeled on those already instated by several California municipalities—most notably Oakland. This would have meant directing funds and technical assistance for the cannabis industry to those communities that were disproportionately impacted by prohibition-era cannabis convictions.. This measure was overwhelmingly defeated in the state Senate.
Failing to even make it out of committee was SB 930, which would have enacted a "Cannabis Limited Charter Banking and Credit Union Law," setting up a state banking system for the cannabis industry.
Also dying in committee was AB 2641, which would have permitted small cultivators to apply for "on-site sales and consumption" licenses for temporary events, such as fairs or farmers' markets. The California Growers Association had been watching this bill closely, as it would have opened up alternative points of sale for rural areas where dispensaries are few and far between. As Cannabis Business Times recalls, direct cannabis sales at such events are not allowed under the Prop 64 regulatory regime unless the cultivator also has a retail license.

Quietbuds Review 2020: Does this ear plug currently trending in US, UK, Canada and some other top countries really work?
When we say environmental pollution we all think of atmospheric, water pollution and the melting of icebergs. Pollution due to noise is usually NOT the first thing that comes to anybody's mind, but it is actually the commonest and the most neglected form of environmental pollution.
Different people have different thresholds of frustration, but it's almost universal that unnecessary noise pisses basically everyone off.
The noise may be that of loud music blaring from street speakers, the hustle and bustle of traffic, people chattering loudly, machines and heavy equipment etc.
There is actually no limit to the number of sounds that can constitute noise pollution. Even a sound otherwise gentle, example; the ringing of your mobile device, can act as a distraction when you're not interested.
Many a time, people seek remedy for these unwanted noises by plugging in music-playing headphones, but this doesn't usher serenity, rather it introduces another sound, which may itself serve as a distraction at any unpredictable point in time.
The most effective remedy should have been to completely stay away from noisy places, but how is that even possible? Sometimes, people bring noise to your doorstep, especially when there is little or nothing that can be done about it.
This article will be about a product that claims to provide remedy for this seemingly intractable problem.
The name of the product is quietbuds and it has been available in so many countries for quite a while: countries like the US, Australia, the UK, Germany etc.
Does it really work as its touted?
If interested, I'd suggest you read through this quietbuds review as we have opened all stone cold facts about this device.
Table of contents
What is Quietbuds?
It is a paired novel device in the form of wireless earplugs designed by a group of clinical specialists in audiology, and aimed at keeping unnecessary sounds at bay, thereby keeping the individual calm and focused, and protects against inadvertent hearing loss or any hearing malady due to exposure to inordinate intensities of sound.
It is a genuine product made with the intention of providing hearing convenience for people of all ages, across different circumstances. It has three graded sound quietening features, between which the device can be toggled, depending on what the situation requires. The three diverse centers or cores include—
- (i) commuter core,
- (ii) concert core,
- (iii) and ocean-quiet core, and are explicitly intended for movement, live concerts/occasions, and miscellaneous surrounding sounds, respectively. These earplugs are flexible, premium-quality, and absolutely convenient to wear any place you go.
These are sound-filtering and noise-canceling aids which protects the person from all undesirable noises around them making them relax more. They have highly detective sensory cores that vary and keep the sound in check at all intensities or levels. They can be worn all day long, especially when the person wants to relax.
Furthermore, they are for effective hearing-protection, cheap, highly demanded, and also one of the most innovative acoustic protection earplugs in the market.
Irrespective of age, every individual who is capable of moving from place to place is exposed to unwanted sound and may want to protect their hearing using Quietbuds. Using any of the three different cores or centers, it is possible to protect oneself from all versions and intensities of unwanted sound, therefore one can relax and concentrate even in the midst of chaos, coupled with the advantage of securing the delicate hair cells of the inner ear which can be damaged by sounds of high intensities.
They come in three sizes — small, medium and large, therefore available for all ages and sizes.
These earbuds are perfect for any person who gets irritated, distracted or upset by the endless jarring sounds all over the world.
Specifications and technical details of quietbuds
QuietBuds consist of three exchangeable capsule centers or cores, which are fashioned to combat distinctive noisy circumstances.
They are produced with high quality CNC aluminum which is highly durable.
The inserts are made of silicone and come in three sizes: small, medium-sized, and large.
They arrive in a compact zippered case which makes them easily carried about.
These earplugs come with three distinct cores or centers, with each case center having its own capacity. The choice of a particular center is determined by the type of commotion you're faced with at any instant. Each of the container centers has its own distinctive specifications which are outlined as follows:
1. Commuter Core: This first degree center is made of silicone and it decreases the commotion that are not within the perimeters of close-range eyesight, but it doesn't stop you from hearing what people around you are saying.
2. Concert Core: The next level (after the commuter center) center forestalls hearing jeopardies that may have been brought about by rowdy clamor shows. It acts to filter the commotion in the background so you can focus on the sound you really need to hear.
3. Ocean Quiet Core: It is the elevated level of the Quietbuds and it shuts out virtually any and every sound. This core/center has a particular liquid component that helps it accomplish this. This center can be utilized while resting, reflecting soberly or studying.
Quietbuds Review: What are its features?
-Quietbuds has been designed to provide clients with the perfect wearing experience and security they're looking for.
-It can be swapped among the three centers or cores depending on the intensity or type of commotion in your environment.
-There are three exchangeable fits to suit any ear size.
-Ear assurance protects the delicate hair cells of your inner ears from very jarry sounds to prevent noise-induced hearing disasters.
-The quietbuds are built with premium materials which are convenient, thereby making the devices easy to be worn throughout the day without any difficulty or strain.
-The earplugs are designed with aircraft-grade aluminum, which is capable of giving up to fifty per cent decrease of the sound intensity of noisy commotions.
-It comes with a zippered case for all your travel needs.
-It has a flashy appearance and is user-friendly.
What do we like about these Quietbuds earplug?
- It intercepts all disconcerting noises like those from trains, airplanes and motorcars, disk jockeys, heavy equipment, noisy electricity generators .
- It also preserves your ears against damage at loud music shows or outdoor games.
- One can adopt it as a routine device which one uses anytime one wants to rest.
- They fit so perfectly in your ears, such that you may not even realize you're wearing earplugs.
- These earplugs are highly effective and made with premium materials.
- Quietbuds are made with the intention of providing acoustic assurance.
- These devices are fashioned with aircraft grade aluminum which helps diminish the sound by about fifty percent.
- These earplugs can be worn all day long, especially in the evening when one wants to relax.
- They are user-friendly, convenient and no complications are encountered during its use.
- It comes with a case that makes it easy to be carried about.
What are its downside?
Purchases are currently being made online through the manufacturers official website. This to us is a disadvantage to persons who may not have internet access to make purchases. The only take home from this online purchase is the fact it comes at a 50% discount.
Why do I need this device?
As already pointed out, these earplugs were produced to help shut out excessive environmental noise from the person's hearing. Those who reside in areas where noise is a major disturbance will find this product exceptionally useful.
Also, those who work in noisy conditions eg aviation industries, power plants, concert rooms, noisy markets etc will need Quietbuds™ in order to remain sane in such environments. This product is not limited to the above categories of people.
It is also for anybody who is likely to be exposed to inordinate sound intensities which are capable of shifting a person's focus or generally distracting the person. Most importantly, these noises are capable of damaging a person's hearing. This damage to hearing must not necessarily be instant, it may follow an insidious pattern, thus when a person has been exposed to sounds of loud intensity for long, the person is very likely to develop hearing misfortunes or complete deafness later in life.
A study by the world health organization reveals that over 1.1b youths worldwide are in danger of developing commotion-induced hearing misfortune. This is because, following advancements in technology and the introduction of new heavy machines, virtually everybody is either directly or indirectly exposed to the noise pollution that arises from them.
So for each of the above described persons, a pair of Quietbuds earplugs are all they need for hearing assurance and better focus even in the midst of chaos.
Quietbuds Review: How does these noise shutters work?
The mechanism of action of these earplugs is related to the materials they're made from. Recall when we talked about the three exchangeable cores or centers of the earplugs, each of which is selected to suit a given situation.
(i) the commuter core: this is made of silicone, and it is selected when you want to exclude the unnecessary sound around you, but outside your field of view. What this means is that the core shuts out relatively distant sound, but doesn't stop you from following the things being said by the people around you.
(ii) concert core: this is also made of a type of material which tends to prevent loud noise within sight, but enables you focus on the important things. For example, in a concert or party if you're wearing quietplug with concert core, the music won't sound so jarry and boisterous, rather it will sound like normal music and won't embarrass your hearing at all.
(iii) Ocean-quiet core: this one works with the help of a core liquid. It excludes almost entirely every form of noise. As the name implies, if you wear this core in a marketplace, it will give you the type of serenity you get when you relax at the foot of an ocean in the evening. This will make you concentrate on your thoughts, the close range rowdiness notwithstanding.
So how do I make use of this device?
There's really no hard and fast rule to this. Even a toddler can make use of this product. But for the sake of necessity and assurance, do follow the easy guidelines on how to use this device typed below.
- wash and/or sanitize your hands [This should be a common practice to you considering the current pandemic]
- with clean fingers, roll or twist the earplug to an s-shaped figure in order to insert it into the ears without difficulty. With this shape it will enter with great ease without and stretching and stretching your ear canal.
- Armed with the now s-shaped earplug in one hand, the other hand should be used over the head to reach the opposite ear and tug it open, in order to further enhance easy sliding of the device into the ears.
- At this moment, you can now insert the device into the ear with a slight turn in order to have it fitted perfectly in the ear canal.
- The module is then held for twenty five to thirty seconds, allowing time for the froth to get extended; it is through the work of this froth that sound is prevented from entering the ears.
Why are Quiet buds earplugs more popular than some other earplugs?
Quietbuds are more popular than other such device in the market because of many reasons. The first being that it is patented by professionals unlike the other devices in the market. Also this device is made of premium materials which foster convenience of use.
Other such products are usually troublesome especially when they are to be used for long. In addition, the quality of this device is commensurate to the price. It is not like other hearing devices whose costs are higher than the function.
How necessary is the use of these earplug? (Quietbuds Review)
In present times, because of technological advancements, the sense of hearing has become one of the most endangered senses. This is due to the noise generated by these high tech machines. The problem is that these machines are everywhere and come in different forms.
The organ of hearing, being very delicate is highly prone to destruction by the ultrahuman sounds. Hence the world health organization has put forward a study which concluded that more than one billion young people are at the danger of developing commotion-induced hearing loss.
Thus for any individual who is health conscious, a device like Quiet buds should be added to the list of essential materials for fundamental life support.
Quietbuds Price
Luckily, for consumers, the price of this product is quite affordable, and at the same time highly discounted at present.
At the moment, one pair goes for $39.99, while two pairs can be gotten at $54.99. Three and four pairs can also be gotten at $74.99 and $95.99 respectively. It should be noted that these are highly discounted prices and are liable to go up at any time.
Where can I buy mine?
These products, at present, can only be ordered directly from the manufacturer's homepage. In addition to being the only means currently, this is also the recommended means, in order to avoid being pranked by cyber fraudsters, and to enjoy all the value added packages, discounts and warranties issued by the manufacturer only.
The payment is also to be made online, using PayPal or similar platforms. All payments are encrypted with the 256-Bilt SSL Encryption ensuring transactions follow international standards and are safe.
What are the Frequently Asked Questions
How does this device function?
Through the use of three different cores – commuter, concert and ocean-quiet – at different times depending on what the situation requires, unnecessary sound can be shut off, leaving you with only the necessary sounds.
Why do Quiet buds have exchangeable cores while other noise-cancelling devices don't?
This is because it would be quite injudicious to design a device which indiscriminately cancels out all forms of noise, leaving you as good as deaf. The availability of different cores for different situations was made with the intention of keeping off only the unnecessary sound, while the necessary ones are preserved.
How is it possible for the manufacturers to provide a lifetime warranty?
This is because the device is made with premium quality materials which are extremely durable. The manufacturers have this assurance that the device can last a lifetime, so they go ahead to issue the lifetime warranty.
Why does it come in three sizes?
This is because human beings' ears also come in different sizes, so to eliminate the chances of buying something bigger or smaller than your ear canal, you're given all three sizes so you make the selection yourself.
Can it be cleaned?
Yes, with a piece of cloth and some warm water the device can be gently sanitized.
What comes with every set of Quiet-Buds?
Each set comes with a compact case, three exchangeable cores of three sizes, and a user manual.
Are more QuietBuds cores available?
There's ongoing research to this effect. In the near future, the makers will come up with additional cores with distinct and fantastic features for better consumer satisfaction.
Finishing Quietbuds Review
Earplugs are really useful for protecting yourself from noise pollution, however, they can be used while taking a nap or night sleep.
Noise can interfere with sleep. Not only is this exhausting, it's also detrimental to health.
As you should know what works best is determined by the fit. The size of your ear canal is really a significant factor to put into consideration. Too big for your ear, then be rest assured that you'd keep picking it up from the ground.
Luckily, the quiet buds comes with a futuristic design that ensures you get the best ear fitting that will protect you from the hazards of noise pollution. This futuristic approach makes it suitable for any size of ear canal. Tested and trusted is all I can say about this product.
However, the ball remains in your court. Buy or not to buy? It all depends on what you want.
Thank you for reading this quietbuds review.

There must be other photographs out there of this Canberra, maybe as background to a personal photo. If you have, or know of, any such an e-mail to the Webmaster would be appreciated. This would, of course, include any photos or information about WF922's time at Boscombe Down.
[ Return to WF922 Main Page ]
Practice for farewell flypast when 69 Sqn moved to Luqa, Malta. Note the broad white Vs on blue background on nosewheel doors. Note also WE139 in the formation, the London/New Zealand Air Race winner and the only other PR.3 preserved complete (at RAF Museum Hendon).
Photo submitted by Bob Farrow who worked on WF922 for over two years when 69 Sqn reformed with PR3s in 1954. Bob says, "I have very fond memories of that period and it was a great squadron to be on. Incidentally the colour scheme on the nosewheel doors are not meant to be "Vs", they do in fact show the cross of St. Andrew (when closed). This was done because our boss, Sqdn.Ldr. Mackie was a Scot."

I had no idea this many children attempted suicide. I thought my 10-year-old attempt was an anomaly, which I wished beyond anything would not befall another person that young. Unfortunately, I was wrong – but at least this raises awareness of the problem.
Schools for Hope has curriculum designed to prevent suicides by increasing the power most opposite to it: hope. Yes, this curriculum teaches hope, with both a fall curriculum and a spring one.
The fall curriculum is as follows (click the picture to go to the curriculum explanation):
I e-mailed the curriculum coordinators and hope that I can adapt this to the members I work with: individuals in the criminal justice system with mental illness and substance abuse disorders. The curriculum is geared towards children, but the simplistic design can be modified for all audiences, I believe. I'll be keeping Schools for Hope informed on how it works for our members.

Harnessing the Power of Soccer
Air Date: Week of October 29, 2010

Four Harvard students invented a soccer ball that charges with every kick. The young inventors hope to harness the power of soccer fanaticism and turn it into clean energy. Living on Earth and Planet Harmony's Ike Sriskandarajah reports.
GELLERMAN: A group of Harvard students is harnessing the power of the world's most popular sport. They've built a soccer ball that charges with every kick, and post game can power a light. Popular Mechanics calls the ball one of the breakthrough innovations of the year. The creators call it the 'sOccket.' Living on Earth and Planet Harmony's Ike Sriskandarjah has our story.
SRISKANDARAJAH: A group of four Harvard students is trying to tackle the problem of being off-the-grid with a solution on the field. Hemali Thakkar, a graduating senior, is one of the co-creators of sOccket.
THAKKAR: This is sOccket, it's a soccer ball with the ability to generate electricity.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Thakkar holds up what, on the outside, looks like a regular white soccer ball, but inside…
THAKKAR: Every time you kick the ball there's a magnet that goes back and forth through the inductive coil which allows a current to be captured in a capacitor and electricity can be stored and used later on.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Similar to a shake to charge flashlight…
THAKKAR: Shake to charge flashlight-- it's the one where you shake it and the more you shake it, the more light you have.
[MUSIC: Outkast "Hey Ya" from The Love Below (LaFace 2003): "shake it, shake it, s-shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture…"]
THAKKAR: So right now you need about 15 minutes of kicking the ball that allows us to use a single LED. It will be lit for three hours. So let me take you over to where the lamp is. So right now how you would use it, you would plug the lamp directly into the input that's on the ball.
Voila! You can see the light.
SRISKANDARAJAH: A glowing reading light connects to a wire that ends in a DC plug, sticking out of the ball.
THAKKAR: You know when its pitch dark, its amazing how, like, a single LED can make such a big difference.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Making a difference was the goal of Thakkar and her three co-creators. The four of them, all women, non-engineers, had a class assignment to design a project that tackled a global social problem.
THAKKAR: And we saw that there was this universal love of soccer around the world and we saw this huge need for electricity and we said, 'hey, why not, why not put the two together.' And that's how sOccket came about.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Soccer is often played in poor places and the UN Development Program estimates that nearly 80 percent of the Third World- the 50 poorest nations- has no access to electricity. And in those places people rely on unsustainable, unhealthy energy sources.
THAKKAR: And, what the problem is right now in developing countries is that a lot of people use kerosene. Kerosene lamps cause these fumes that are really bad every time you inhale them, so it causes respiratory illnesses. And those are supposed to be one of the biggest causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Over one and a half billion people worldwide use kerosene to light their homes. Respiratory infections account for the largest percentage of childhood deaths in developing nations. The environmental impact of kerosene is severe as well. The yearly carbon dioxide emissions from all those lamps around the world equals the emissions from about 38 million cars.
The Harvard team passed their ball off to a design firm to give shape to their idea. And this past summer, the sOccket team took their prototype to test it where the need for clean electricity and love of soccer was the highest.
[MUSIC: THEME SONG FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN WORLD CUP: "Wavin' Flay" by K'naan (A &M 2009)]
THAKKAR: We were able to take ten to 20 sOcckets to World Cup and it was in South Africa, which was the best place to be able to test sOcckets.
[MUSIC: THEME SONG FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN WORLD CUP: "Wavin' Flay" by K'naan (A &M 2009)]
SRISKANDARAJAH: The home of the 2010 world cup gave the sOccket inventors a great opportunity to see how their ball fared on some well-tread, no frills, South African fields.
The young women worked with Marcus McGilvray, founder of the South African based WhizzKids United. He runs a HIV care and prevention organization that uses soccer to reach at-risk kids. McGilvray had first met one of the Harvard inventors a year earlier and introduced her to his crack team of product testers.
MCGILVRAY: These children often, you know, they make footballs out of carrier bags and rolled up newspaper so they are always very excited when they have the opportunity to play with a football and then, of course, this football generated a lot of interest.
SRISKANDARAJAH: I asked him how the ball held up against his soccer-crazed kids.
MCGILVRAY: The ball stood up to the conditions and it held out really well.
SRISKANDARAJAH: But McGilvray also says there's room for improvement.
MCGILVRAY: Certainly we could see that they were charging. What the sOccket team realized was though, from the trials, was that they were going to have to go back and actually work on the connection inside.
SRISKANDARAJAH: So the Harvard sOccketeers took these suggestions back and are hoping to have a new version of the ball on shelves next summer. Proceeds from American sales would support a buy one- give one model, so groups like Whizzkids in South Africa could start including the balls into their own programs teaching soccer and life skills.
MCGILVRAY: sOccket really gives it a whole new dimension to be able to show them what innovative inventions are coming up around the world. You know, it gets young people to think, 'Wow!, You know, I think these are great things for children to learn from.'
American Express philanthropic, Members Project, created an ad for the sOccket.
SRISKANDARAJAH: A ball that powers an LED won't end poverty or fix the environment. But it may inspire kids to think about other simple solutions to big problems and help people breathe a little easier. For Living on Earth and Planet Harmony, I'm Ike Sriskandarajah

What are Eggs Hemmingway? It is a little bit of an unfair question because you may know them as Eggs Montreal, eggs Norwegian, or by the very Quentin Tarantino-esque Eggs Royale. That is how I have always served them on menus, and they will make you an incredible Christmas Day breakfast. You will have most likely heard of Eggs Benedict well this dish, in my humble opinion, is a much nicer and definitely more extravagant dish.
Ernest Hemmingway and Food and Drink
Ernest Hemmingway was no slouch when it came to writing about food and drink. From the dozens of bars serving his favourite Margarita, there is even a Hemmingway Cookbook. ( For the purposes of research I have tried a couple of Hemmingway haunts in Key West ). I don't agree with fillet of lion washed down with gin, but I do love Eggs Hemmingway.
Some more great Brunch recipes with Eggs
Eggs Hemmingway or Royale?
So, what is the dish? Traditionally the dish is a toasted English Breakfast Muffin topped with Smoked Salmon, a soft poached free-range Egg, and some indulgent Hollandaise sauce. A real festive breakfast treat. In my slightly updated recipe, I have substituted the muffin for my toasted sun-blush tomato sourdough. For perfect poached eggs use the freshest eggs you can buy and a teaspoon of white wine or cider vinegar will help set the egg white. The secrets for a great Hollandaise are available by following this link for my step-by-step masterclass.
Eggs Hemmingway / Royale
- A small heavy-bottomed pan
- 4 free-range Eggs
- 2 slices Sun-blush Tomato Sourdough
- 160 gram quality Smoked Salmon
- ½ batch Hollandaise Recipe
- 100 g Baby Leaf Spinach optional
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- Fine Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, and add the vinegar, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Slowly stir the water and create a vortex. Crack an egg into a cup then drop the egg into the centre of the pan.
- Poach for four minutes then remove using a slotted spoon, onto some kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Toast the sourdough and top with a little spinach if you want to use it, then lay on the smoke salmon.
- To serve, add the eggs and cover with Hollandaise sauce and season.

50 Cent in 2013. Photo courtesy TigerDirect.com on Flickr.
Finding unexpected money is always nice, whether it's a $20 bill left in last season's coat pocket or a few bucks of change in the couch cushions.
It's even nicer when that forgotten money is worth millions.
Rapper 50 Cent, whose given name is Curtis Jackson, made the fateful choice to accept bitcoin as payment for his album "Animal Ambition" back in 2014. At the time, a single bitcoin was worth about $662, and the album cost was a small fraction of that. The musician left his bitcoin account (or "wallet") untouched for years and discovered in late January that his cryptocurrency was worth between $7 million and $8 million.
It must be nice for 50 Cent to find out that an album that sold modestly compared to his earlier studio albums, especially 2003's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," may prove to be among his most lucrative. In his social media post confirming the bitcoin story, the rapper commented, "Not bad for a kid from South Side, I'm so proud of me." (In the now-deleted post, he also good-naturedly confessed to forgetting that he had accepted bitcoin as payment in the first place.)
50 Cent isn't alone in forgetting his past cryptocurrency acquisitions. As bitcoin's value skyrocketed last year, many people started doing the digital equivalent of emptying their pockets before putting their jeans in the washing machine. Their stories, which often end with the searcher coming up empty-handed, suggest that 50 Cent wasn't only lucky to accept bitcoin in the first place, but also to remember where to find his earnings. Pity those like James Howells, who threw out a hard drive holding about 7,500 bitcoins back in 2013. He now lives with the frustration of knowing that millions of dollars in value is lost among tons of garbage in a Welsh landfill.
50 Cent's story represents something of a turnaround for the rapper, who filed for bankruptcy in 2015. The case was discharged in 2017; it is not clear from publicly available details whether the bitcoin discovery will affect this proceeding, though it is not impossible. Regardless, 50 Cent is far from the only music industry star to run into money trouble despite lucrative album sales and steady performance income. Nor is this his first major windfall. His stake in Vitaminwater reportedly earned him about $100 million in 2007 when Coca-Cola purchased the beverage brand. We can only hope 50 Cent is now getting solid advice for how to handle his rediscovered digital riches.
For reasons my colleagues have already discussed in this space, I hope that his first step is to convert his reported 700 or so bitcoins into a more stable form of value, if he hasn't already. (Even TMZ, not usually known as a source of financial planning advice, commented "The market has steadily declined over the last few weeks, so 50 might wanna think about unloading soon while the gettin's still good.")
If you do find a forgotten bitcoin or two lurking on your old hard drive and decide to cash out, it's smart to think about the proceeds like any other windfall, from a winning lottery ticket to an unexpectedly large tax refund. Make a plan before you spring for big-ticket purchases. Try not to think of the new money as separate from the rest of your financial resources. And if you receive a life-changing amount – for most of us, $7 million would certainly qualify – take the time to find a trustworthy team of professionals who can help you make a sustainable long-term plan.
50 Cent may not be about to change his name to "700 Bitcoins," but I still hope he enjoys his unexpected "Animal Ambition" success.

Vowing to speak "until I am no longer able to stand," Sen. Ted Cruz (R, Texas), took to the floor of the Senate Tuesday, launching a marathon anti-Obamacare speech as Congress sits poised to vote on legislation that will continue to fund the government.
Not able to delay with a formal filibuster an upcoming vote on a continuing resolution to keep the government funded, Cruz began speaking out against the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, after being given the Senate floor at 2:40 p.m. ET. He was still speaking at 11 p.m. ET.
While Cruz had company while he spoke during the evening, he didn't have much.
Cruz noted at around 9:50 p.m. ET that he was speaking to an audience of two Senators and one member of the House of Representatives. One of the two Senators was Alabama's Jeff Sessions. The other was Mike Lee (R-Utah).
During the course of the evening, Sessions asked Cruz to yield for questions, alternately applauding the freshman senator for his stand against the health care legislation, and asking him to clarify specific points he opposes in the bill.
Cruz said of Sessions, "I appreciate his friendship and wisdom."
At one point, Sen. Lee spoke for several minutes explaining the continuing resolution passed by the House and sent to the Senate in an effort to fund the government, but defund Obamacare.
Other Republican Senators through the evening and into the night asked similar questions and praised Cruz for his efforts. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine both spoke.
Earlier, Cruz failed in an effort to link the Affordable Care Act to a wider federal budget resolution. The resolution would have reduced the chances of a government shutdown next week.
Senate Majority
leader Harry Reid, (D-Nev.), has said he will schedule the first in a series of procedural votes
Wednesday afternoon on the continuing resolution from the House. The legislation is expected to fail in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and be sent back to the House without the Affordable Care Act provision.
Around 10 p.m., Cruz began reading tweets from people whom, he said, wanted to "make DC listen." Earlier he talked about how Americans would be shocked to know that only two Senators remained in the chamber as Obamacare was being debated.
While he acknowledges his efforts will do little to block Obamacare funding, Cruz said he wanted to echo what constituents have been sayings and "make D.C. listen."
According to Senate rules, Cruz can't hold the floor for more than 15 hours.
Some of the more memorable quotes Tuesday evening from Cruz included:
- "Most Americans could not give a flying flip about a bunch of politicians in Washington. Almost all of us are in cheap suits with bad haircuts. Who cares?"
- "I do not like green eggs and ham." Cruz read a bedtime
story to his daughters who were watching from home.
Pic of @SenTedCruz daughters as he reads them Green Eggs & Ham. #MakeDCListen pic.twitter.com/UXqFg0xrPB— Jason Johnson (@jasonsjohnson) September 25, 2013
- "I confess I don't go to a lot of cocktail parties in town."
- "The American people are frustrated because their elected officials don't listen. When we're home on the campaign trail, we say we listen. And yet something about this senate floor, something about Washington, D.C. I don't know if it's the water, something in the air, the cherry blossoms, but people get here and they stop listening to the American people."
- "I find it amusing that those in Washington are puzzled when someone actually does what they said they would do."

In 2013, Supreme Court Guts Supervisory Harassment Claims for Low Wage Workers
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court lobbed a devastating blow to the rights of marginalized workers in Vance v. Ball State. Addressing the thorny issue of employer liability for discriminating supervisors, the decision poses significant new barriers to low-level employees experiencing discrimination from direct supervisors.
Supervisory harassment has long triggered stricter liability for employers than harassment by co-workers. When supervisors use the authority of their position to discriminate, their employer becomes vicariously liable for the supervisor's acts. While Vance leaves this basic logic intact, it dramatically limits who qualifies as a "supervisor."
Before Vance, "supervisors" could be either people who oversaw the daily activities of other employees, or who had the power to hire, fire, promote or demote their subordinates. After Vance, an employer can only be held vicariously liable for discrimination carried out by supervisors with power to take "tangible employment action" (such as hiring, firing and promotion). The Court has effectively eliminated vicarious liability for harassment carried out by all other types of managers, whose unlawful discrimination is now treated with the same (lesser) level of scrutiny as co-worker harassment.
The Court's reasoning ignores the realities of today's workplace. Middle managers, foremen, team leaders, and shift supervisors who oversee their subordinates' work, but don't have the ability to fire them, wield enormous power. They have the ability to commit much graver damage on the psyche and well-being of a subordinate than a co-worker. Middle managers can get their subordinates fired, even when they don't have the authority to fire them. That's why supervisory harassment has been treated so differently by the law than co-worker harassment.
Take the construction worker whose team leader hurls racial epithets at him when giving him work orders, causing him to make mistakes. Or the immigrant worker on the factory line who is groped by her line supervisor, with no one to translate her complaint but the supervisor himself. Or even more troubling, take the worker who refuses her direct supervisor's requests for sex, and who is given harder work as a result. In these cases, the supervisor may not have the ability to hire or fire. But they have the ability to intimidate, to make threats, and to carry out those threats if a subordinate doesn't submit to their harassment.
Moreover, many workers rarely interact with the individuals who have the authority to hire and fire them. In fact, their only conduit to the hiring manager or executive leadership may be an immediate supervisor. Workers may be instructed not to approach higher level management, or may even be turned away or disciplined when they attempt to do so. This is especially the case when workers are in entry level or low-wage positions. It is particularly troubling when workers have limited English proficiency, and their harasser is the only supervisor with whom they can communicate.
The Vance decision overlooks the experiences of the most vulnerable and low-wage workers, who are frequently supervised by individuals lacking the ability to make hiring and firing decisions. Employers put hierarchies in place to streamline management, and they should be held accountable for them. Instead, Vance incentivizes employers to delegate hiring and firing decision-making to a small handful of individuals instead of providing better training and stronger vetting for all managers. Perversely, the decision enables higher level employees closer to decision-making power to bring supervisory claims more easily than their lower level counterparts. The Supreme Court has judged these more vulnerable workers' real and salient fear of supervisory harassment less worthy of protection. Surely Title VII was not intended to provide less protection against discrimination to those most in need of it.
