Another character from the new animated series Planet Sheen is a bundle of slimy joy. For the next lesson I will be showing you how you "how to draw Doppy", step by step. Now in the series, Doppy becomes Sheen's best alien friends, and because of this Doppy is often protecting Sheen from the evil Dorkus. Now Dorkus is angry with Sheen because when he landed on Zeenu, he crushed his house at the same time. So of course he has motive to want to destroy Sheen in an attempt to get revenge. Anyway, one of the things that the series likes to make a note on, is the fact that Doppy looks a lot like Sheens best friend on earth, whose name is Carl Weezer. This is another reason why the two hit it off so well when they meet. I mean come on, an alien version of Carl Weezer, that's so epic. They are both a bunch of airheads, and they both stand up for each other. If you like drawing aliens that look like slugs, you should enjoy this tutorial on how to draw Doppy too. The lesson itself is relatively easy, which means you should run into no problems at all. I will be back soon with another lesson that I think you will all enjoy. Until then, adios people, and keep on drawing!

Press Room
Marketplace Fairness Coalition Applauds Sen. Warren For Introducing Bipartisan Bill To Help Massachusetts Small Businesses
May 1, 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Marketplace Fairness Coalition applauded U.S. Senator Warren (D-MA) for reintroducing the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA), bipartisan legislation that will level the playing field for brick-and-mortar businesses in Massachusetts and nationwide. Corresponding bicameral legislation was also reintroduced this week in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"We applaud Senator Warren's leadership on this important legislation, which will increase jobs and grow businesses in Massachusetts.
"Thanks to an outdated, pre-internet online sales tax loophole, Main Street businesses in Massachusetts and across America are struggling to keep their doors open. Meanwhile, communities grappling with budget shortfalls are forced to live with crumbling infrastructure and cannot hire teachers and first responders thanks to the lost revenue resulting from this loophole.
"It's time for Congress to bring our tax system into the 21st Century and pass federal E-Fairness legislation immediately."
According to a study by National Council of State Legislatures (NCSL) and International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), states lose an estimated $26 billion annually to the online sales tax loophole. To learn more about the online sales tax issue in Massachusetts, click here.
The MFA bill was reintroduced by U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Mike Enzi (R-WY), and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND). Cosponsors include Roy Blunt (R-MO), Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Al Franken (D-MN), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Ed Markey (D-MA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Mark Warner (D-VA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). The legislation passed with strong bipartisan support in 2013.

A blog post inspired by the word: Ordinary
They're just ordinary moments from my ordinary life. Yet they pulled me in yesterday when I visited my blog to look for pictures of my dark hair (I really want dark hair again). Those ordinary moments grabbed hold of me until—pajamas still on—I realized it was time to pick up my kids from school. I read, laughed, cried, grimaced over those ordinary moments the entire day and oh how grateful I felt to have them recorded.
In retrospect I realize how wrong I was for believing blogging to be a waste of time, a silly hobby that needed to be controlled. Blogging was my journal, my life history. Precious, ordinary moments that would otherwise be lost forever are now mine to cherish (all day, in my pajamas). I'm so glad I took the time to waste that time those few, but fabulous years of blogging.
And you know, I think I'll be back to waste more time tomorrow.

Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, speaks with the media while his attorney Best looks on prior to entering U.S District Court for the opening day of his insider trading trial in Dallas
By Jana J. Pruet
DALLAS (Reuters) - Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, "cheated" by selling his stake in a small Internet search company upon learning that holding on might cost him money, a government lawyer told jurors at the start of the billionaire's insider trading trial.
Cuban has maintained he did nothing wrong more than nine years ago when he sold his 6.3 percent stake in Mamma.com Inc.
But a lawyer for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said the 55-year-old knew what he was doing in unloading his stake, and avoiding a $750,000 loss. Cuban rose to prominence ahead of the dot-com crash by selling his company Broadcast.com in 1999 to Yahoo Inc for $5.7 billion.
"It's about the right of every investor to trade in a market that's fair," SEC lawyer Jan Folena told a jury of seven women and three men in her opening statement on Tuesday. "He cheated and, above all investors, he knew better."
Cuban is accused of selling his 600,000 Mamma.com shares in late June 2004, soon after learning from Chief Executive Guy Fauré that the company was planning an equity offering that could dilute his stake.
The share price of the Montreal-based company dropped 9.3 percent on the morning after the offering was announced.
Thomas Melsheimer, one of Cuban's lawyers, countered in his opening statement that the offering was already public information and Mamma.com had waited to tell Cuban about it, because they knew he would not like it.
Cuban has also said in court papers that he had been concerned about Mamma.com's possible links to a known stock swindler, and Melsheimer told jurors that his client had multiple reasons not to remain the company's largest outside shareholder.
"He didn't deceive Mamma.com, he didn't deceive anyone," Melsheimer said. "He no longer trusted the company. He no longer wanted to be involved with this company."
Through the civil case, the SEC is seeking to recoup ill-gotten gains, impose fines and obtain a permanent injunction to bar Cuban from similar alleged misconduct.
Cuban and Fauré are both expected to testify.
Folena said the SEC would present evidence to prove Cuban sold his stake because of confidential information from Fauré.
"Insider trading is a form of cheating," Folena said. "It's like knowing the answers to a test before you take it."
She also urged jurors, who are hearing the case in Cuban's hometown, not to be swayed by his fame or popularity.
"Our laws apply to everyone - the rich, the poor, the famous and the unknown," Folena said.
According to SEC court papers, after Cuban learned of the offering plan, he told Fauré, "now I'm screwed. I can't sell."
Cuban has maintained that any information he may have received was neither confidential nor material enough to trigger an insider trading violation.
On Monday, before jurors were chosen, Cuban told reporters repeatedly, "I won't be bullied."
The government shutdown that began on Tuesday is not expected to affect the trial before U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater in Dallas. The trial is expected to last eight to 10 days, possibly stretching into mid-October.
Cuban, a star of the ABC television show "Shark Tank," has appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher." Forbes magazine estimates Cuban's net worth at $2.5 billion.
The SEC brought the case against Cuban in November 2008. Fitzwater dismissed the SEC lawsuit in 2009, but a federal appeals court revived the case the following year.
Cuban previously accused SEC enforcement staff of targeting him because of his fame and because they disliked his politics, but an SEC watchdog in 2011 cleared the regulator of misconduct.
The case is SEC v. Cuban, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, No. 08-02050.

Disturbing news: FaceBook might be interested in buying WhatsApp. The question is of course what FB is after. If all they need is the long list of WA users, WA won't be long for this world. If they truly want to continue to provide the WA service, the concern raised at the end of this piece is quite right: how will free and advertising-driven FB deal with the advertising-free and not so free app model that drives WA ?

Palmer and Wareham were part of a strong team effort that saw the Crimson place second despite winning just one race (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
Day 1 Recap | Day 2 Recap | ICSA National Championships Official Site
MADISON, Wis. —The third and final day of racing at the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association/Gill Coed Dinghy National Championship saw no action due to lack of wind Thursday on Lake Mendota, leaving the Harvard sailing team as national runner-up, just five points behind champion Boston College.
The Crimson entered Thursday with 132 points to the Eagles' 127 after entering Wednesday's racing in second place and cutting 13 points off the BC lead. Harvard's chance to complete its comeback never came, and the Crimson remained in second place in the field of 18 top teams from across the nation. It is Harvard's highest finish in the event since winning the 2003 national title and its first time on the podium since a third-place showing in 2006.
"We're a little disappointed that we didn't get to sail today," said head coach Mike O'Connor. "We're getting over that and are very happy our performance. We came out of the gate well and were able to control what was going on around us, which is important when you know the racing could be cut short due to the weather."
Harvard used strong race starts and a consistent performance to place third in the A division and second in the B division in conditions featuring flat water and shifty wind. Only 10 of the 18 scheduled A-division races and nine B-division contests were held, as Wednesday's racing was cut short after seven total races.
"One of the things that we all need to be very proud of is that in the last and most important regatta of the season, we sailed our best," O'Connor added. "That proves we were focused and prepared and we laid it all on the line."
The top five teams were tightly packed. Brown and St. Mary's were close behind Harvard with 142 points each, and Georgetown placed fifth with 143.
After earning four top-four finishes in six Tuesday races, the A-division pair of juniors Alan Palmer and Meghan Wareham opened Wednesday with a win to cut into the BC lead. Palmer and Winston Yan then finished strong with a third-place showing in the fourth race of the day, moving into third in the division standings. Georgetown won the division with 53 points, followed by Vermont with 65 and the Crimson with 74.
The B-division group of John Stokes, Michelle Konstadt and Quincy Bock finished in the top third of the field in five of Tuesday's six races, including three top-three showings. They placed seventh, 11th and eighth in Wednesday's three races to total 58 points, two more than third-place Brown. BC won the division with 39 points.

Lives and livelihoods, economies and communities depend on convenient, reliable and affordable energy to prosper and grow. People today have never been more connected. More and more of us are enjoying better opportunities, better health and a higher standard of living.
Most of the energy we use today comes from oil and coal, and increasingly from natural gas. These hydrocarbons power, heat and cool homes and workplaces, and fuel transport systems that take us to work or school, or bring us to a holiday destination. They enable industries that sustain our lives, and provide the chemical ingredients to make most of the products we buy – like the device you are using to read this page.
Global demand for energy is rising, driven by growing population with rising living standards.
偷拍自怕亚洲视频在线观看By 2050 the number of people on the planet is forecast to grow to 9 billion - that's nearly 2 billion more of us than today. Many people in emerging economies will join the global middle class. They will buy refrigerators, computers and other appliances that consume energy. And many will buy cars, more than doubling the number on the road.
Our cities increasingly provide the heartbeat of our economy. Around three-quarters of the world's population will live in cities by mid-century, putting more pressure on the food, water and energy resources essential for our shared well-being and prosperity.
Experts agree that global energy demand is likely to double by 2050 compared to demand in the year 2000. At the same time, tackling climate change caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other environmental stresses has never been more important.
Meeting these challenges will require a radical change in the global energy system and a range of new energy sources.?Because the energy system is so large, and demand for energy is rising so quickly, to achieve these changes will take a huge collective effort.

The Kochs' plan to beat Reid
LAS VEGAS — Harry Reid's reelection is more than two years off, but the Koch brothers' political machine is already methodically laying the groundwork that will be used to try to take him out.
The efforts in recent months have been largely subterranean, but they are unmistakable. A handful of nonprofit groups in the vast political network helmed by allies of the conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch have established or expanded permanent ground operations in Reid's backyard. Focused on wooing key demographics like Latinos and veterans, they've also paid for ads assailing the Senate Democratic leader.
Story Continued Below
Reid, meanwhile, is ramping up his home-state political operation, quietly moving to undercut Koch-backed operations here, as well as working to neutralize potential GOP opponents.
( QUIZ: How well do you know the Koch brothers?)
Intensifying and complicating the competition is that allies of Reid and the Koch are assiduously courting the wild-card donor who could dictate the terms of his race, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. He is a friend and constituent of Reid's, but sources say Koch operatives raised more than $20 million from him in 2012, and they're working to secure additional funding.
The high-level jockeying on both sides is particularly striking given that there is so little top-tier political activity in Nevada this fall. Both camps insist they're focused entirely on the policy repercussions of 2014 midterm elections across the country. But it's hard not to detect an intensely personal tension underlying the Koch-Reid dynamic.
While there's been some speculation that Reid might retire rather than run for reelection if Democrats lose control of the Senate this fall, the 74-year-old, in interviews with POLITICO, seemed almost giddy about the prospects of facing down the Kochs in 2016. So fixated is Reid that for a time this summer he kept on his desk in the Capitol a cartoon clipped from the pages of a July issue of the New Yorker magazine depicting a Scout leader reading from a book to his troop sitting around a campfire. "Run everybody, run for your life," the leader says. "It's them, it's the Koch brothers."
Reid has used the Senate floor as a forum for a months-long anti-Koch campaign, during which he's called the brothers everything from " un-American" to " radical" and has worked to turn them into national poster children for a Republican Party that caters to the interests of the very richest while ignoring those of the middle class.
( Also on POLITICO: Billionaires swamp local races)
The attacks have motivated the very rich conservatives who help fund the Koch political operation. At the brothers' annual summer donor seminar in June, organizers erected a life-sized cardboard cutout of Reid, his arms spread and his mouth agape as if in midspeech. Emanating from it was a cartoon-like quote bubble with the word "Un-American."
Cardboard Harry was the object of derision, said attendees. "These donors are competitive, and competitive people like to see the competition," said one. "They get fired up by competition."
While Reid's attacks don't seem to be resonating deeply with the American public as a whole, they may help whip up Democratic donors and activists this fall. And, while Reid can be coy on the subject, he appears intent on using the tactic on his own base headed into 2016.
( Also on POLITICO: Koch-linked group cancels ads)
As Reid last week ambled from an SUV to a side entrance of an MGM Grand here for a speech to the supportive United Steelworkers International Convention, he told POLITICO he wasn't worried about the Koch forces' buildup in his backyard. "I've always been targeted. … That's not news," he said, playfully dismissing a question about whether there was a personal element to the Koch effort. "I don't see that they have any reason to come after me. Why would they?"
But a few minutes later, after taking the stage to Bob Marley's " Get Up, Stand Up," Reid confided to 2,500 cheering union members that, in fact, he is trying to personally antagonize the Kochs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when I was walking in here today, somebody grabbed me from one of the Washington publications and said 'the Koch brothers say they're here organizing in Nevada,'" Reid regaled the crowd. "I said 'why would they be worried about me? What have I done to bother them?'"
After allowing a brief, dramatic pause, he answered his own question boastfully: "Only everything I can, right?"
The line sparked some of the lustier applause of a 20-minute speech that went on to include several swipes at the Kochs. They "have a fundamental belief that our government should have one purpose and one purpose only, and that's to help the Kochs get richer. They don't care about the middle class," Reid charged.
Reid would be well-served to take seriously the prospect of a major Koch-funded challenge, asserted John Gopsill, a local Nevada leader in the steelworkers union, after Reid addressed the convention. "I don't think he can raise the kind of money the Koch brothers can bring to this state, and, unfortunately, money talks," Gopsill said. "That's why we have to get out on the ground and knock on doors and make phone calls. I really and truly believe that's how we'll win it for him."
The race for Reid's seat is expected to be among the top 2016 priorities for Republicans, who are likely to be playing defense in most Senate races. Nevada could be a rare exception, owing partly to Reid's less-than-stellar approval ratings, and it's also primed to be a top swing state in the presidential campaign.
( PHOTOS: Harry Reid's career)
Even before Reid picked his fight with the Kochs, their operation had been investing heavily in Nevada, which has a libertarian streak that comports well with the small-government, free-enterprise sensibility shared by most of the Koch-backed groups.
The most muscular of the groups, Americans for Prosperity, first established a presence here in 2009. It's continually expanded since, opening a new office in April on the western edge of Vegas, out of which four full-time employees work. There's also a full-time field director in Northern Nevada, and AFP is looking to hire two more executives in the state, where it has roughly 50,000 registered activists statewide.
The Koch-backed veterans outreach group Concerned Veterans for America has four employees in Nevada. While only one is full-time, it's looking to hire a full-time local director "to oversee and execute the organization's grass-roots efforts in Nevada." CVA has more than 800 active volunteers, a handful of whom paid a visit to Reid's Nevada office in May to pressure him to support reforms to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It followed up by spending $50,000 on a June digital campaign accusing Reid of "putting his loyalty to his party and the president ahead of America's veterans."
And the LIBRE Initiative, which seeks to spread fiscal conservatism among Hispanics, has also committed significant resources to Nevada since first setting up shop here in 2012. Back then, it shared space in AFP's Vegas office, but this year it moved into a new office of its own across the street from a wedding venue called the " Elvis Chapel." An April ribbon-cutting was attended by at least one GOP congressional candidate, and the group now has two full-time staffers and a growing volunteer base in the state.
In addition to creating good will in the community by providing social services such as Spanish-language training for the state's drivers exam, LIBRE has gotten some traction in Nevada's Spanish-language media, where the group's executive director, Daniel Garza, a former Bush administration official, and Southwest region press secretary Ronald Najarro, have appeared often promoting the group's services or as conservative foils to liberals, including juxtaposed against Reid and his allies.

WASHINGTON — Solar power is coming to President Barack Obama's house.
The most famous residence in America, which has already boosted its green credentials by planting a garden, plans to install solar panels atop the White House's living quarters. The solar panels are to be installed by spring 2011, and will heat water for the first family and supply some electricity.
The plans will be formally announced later Tuesday by White House Council on Environmental Quality Chairwoman Nancy Sutley and Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet. Full story
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush both tapped the sun during their days in the White House.
Carter in the late 1970s spent $30,000 on a solar water-heating system for West Wing offices. Bush's solar systems powered a maintenance building and some of the mansion, and heated water for the pool.
Obama, who has championed renewable energy, has been under increasing pressure to lead by example by installing solar at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, something White House officials said has been under consideration since he first took office.
The decision perhaps has more import now after legislation to reduce global warming pollution died in the Senate, despite the White House's support. Obama has vowed to try again on a smaller scale.
Last month, global warming activists with 350.org carried one of Carter's solar panels — which were removed in 1986 — from Unity College in Maine to Washington to urge Obama to put solar panels on his roof. It was part of a global campaign to persuade world leaders to install solar on their homes. After a meeting with White House officials, they left Washington without a commitment.
That campaign followed calls by the solar industry for the White House to become a national billboard for solar power.
"Putting solar on the roof of the nation's most important real estate is a powerful symbol calling on all Americans to rethink how we generate electricity," Solar Energy Industries Association President Rhone Resch said.

Image via Wikipedia Compassion, dedication puts officer in elite company
PRATT — Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) natural resource officer Jim Bussone, Arma, has been honored with the Shikar-Safari Club International Wildlife Officer of the Year award. Bussone received the award in recognition of efforts above and beyond activities normally associated with game wardens.
In nominating Bussone for the award, Region 5 Law Enforcement Lieutenant Keith Rather said, "Year after year, Officer Bussone completes two or more times what is required of him. He organizes and participates in hunter education classes, Becoming and Outdoors-Woman events, and Women On Target shooting skills events. To date, 245 women have been through his region's Women On Target program. Plus, he's designed and presented programs to help women and young mothers identify poisonous plants, snakes, and spiders, with the goal of learning how to live with wildlife."
Rather describes one incident that displays Bussone's character, compassion, and willingness to help people while protecting the state's natural resources.
"One night during deer season, Officer Bussone saw a flash of light in some trees. He turned a corner, and his headlights revealed a little boy standing at the side of the road. The boy disappeared into the ditch, so Jim drove to that location and lit up the area. In a field entrance was a small truck, and in front of the truck was a man with a small doe deer, no bigger than 80 pounds on the hoof. Jim asked the guy what he was doing besides killing deer. The guy told Jim that his family and kids were hungry. When asked for his license and permits, the guy told Jim he didn't have any and told a story about being laid off, his wife being laid off and pregnant, having five kids and no utilities, and having no money and being at the end of his rope.
"After loading the deer and writing a ticket, Jim followed the guy to his house. It was a shambles, inside and out. There were no lights, and a wood stove was heating the house.
"Jim talked with some local people and learned that the guy was caught in a bad spot, but his pride wouldn't let the people around make him a welfare case. Jim had some deer meat that had been seized earlier in the season and had been released for disposal, so he took a box of meat to the guy. Jim told him to never poach again but that if he was in a jam to let him know, and he would help him get deer meat. Later, Jim asked some local waterfowl hunters if they would bring the man some ducks or geese, which they did."
And Bussone's assistance didn't stop with food.
"Jim asked several people to see if they could help the man find a job," Rather explained, "and he soon had one and paid his ticket. When Jim saw the man after the incident, he shook Jim's hand and apologized. Jim had sent a message that he was there to help just as much or more than to write tickets and take people to jail."
Each year, Shikar-Safari honors one officer that each state believes has done the most outstanding job in enforcement of their game laws, protection of wildlife, and implementation of conservation programs. The group also provides a $20,000 death benefit for all recipients of Wildlife Officer of the Year award killed in the line of duty.
Formed in 1952, the Shikar-Safari Club International was formed as a social hunting organization but soon recognized its potential to contribute to conservation efforts. In 1973, the Shikar-Safari International Foundation was formed to raise money for various conservation efforts throughout the world.

If you walked along London's South Bank a few weeks back, you'll have seen hundreds of people enjoying a vast feast made by eco-chef Tom Hunt. A banquet of platters laden with chorizo, kebabs, pork, chargrilled vegetables, strawberries and sourdough is a spectacle in itself, but what made this event, Feeding the 500, even more remarkable was that it was all made from food destined to be wasted.
Susatinability experts WRAP UK calculate that 60 per cent of all the food we throw away at home could be eaten. And according to the charity FoodCycle, at least 400,000 tons of usable surplus food could be saved from supermarkets each year. When you take into account waste across the whole supply chain, you begin to realise it would be more than possible to have a feast on the South Bank made from unwanted food every single day of the year.
Globally, too, we waste as much as 30 per cent of all our food, but there's reason to be optimistic. The management consultancy firm McKinsey believe the amount of global food waste presents a huge opportunity for business, innovation and investment. And a growing number of social entrepreneurs and campaigners agree – this is an opportunity not to be wasted.
Jason Drew had his moment of realisation standing at the back of a slaughterhouse in the Western Cape of South Africa looking at a dam of blood surrounded by flies. 'I remembered that as a child I'd learned two ways to catch fish: tie a fly onto a line and cast it onto the water, or attach a maggot or worm onto a hook and drop it in. Much of aquaculture and chicken farming depends on fishmeal and the production of fishmeal causes devastation to our seas. It dawned on me that we could use waste recycled by flies and make our industrial agriculture far more sustainable.'
He created AgriProtein, a company which won the Innovation Prize for Africa in May. It uses organic waste to create fly larvae with which to feed fish and chickens, in place of soya. 'Flies and larvae are a natural protein for the animals we are feeding. Rather than bringing fishmeal from South America or the Antarctic to farms, we recycle waste nutrients locally and sell our product locally.'
Slightly more palatable and definitely less maggoty is Jenny Dawson's enterprise, Rubies in the Rubble, a range of chutneys made from waste fruit and vegetables. Her lightbulb experience happened in 2011, when she discovered a pallet full of mange tout imported from Kenya and 'wrapped like expensive shoes' at London's New Covent Garden Market about to be thrown away. 'I decided I was going to put to good use things that are discarded in our society without reason. I wanted to be a business, not a charity because I believe that in a capitalist society homelessness, joblessness, food waste and so on can be addressed and only will be addressed by business. We need to employ people and we need to do good through our supply chain. So we have a charity heart with a business head.'
This July, Waitrose joined Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason in stocking her chutneys, allowing Rubies in the Rubble to scale up and buy surplus vegetables cheaply and directly from farmers. 'Farmers need to oversupply to deal with the demand from the supermarkets and when they have a surplus they love to do something with it. We pay their delivery costs and our kitchens go tomato crazy.'
She's not the only business making use of surplus food, of course. There's Disco Soup, for example, a French project where volunteers chop misshapen vegetables to the sound of disco music and make it into soup, and Rejuce, which pulps waste fruit into juices sold from an old milk float around London. There are pop up and roaming restaurants serving menus entirely created from food waste, like Tom Hunt's own Forgotten Feast restaurant, the Brixton People's Kitchen and the People's Supermarket in Holborn, who have turned their food waste and that of their suppliers into a catering sideline.
'Most mountains of food waste are a tragedy. But they're also an opportunity to create value out of things with little or no value,' says Tristram Stuart, author of Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal and founder of the campaigning organisation Feeding the 5000. The feast on the South Bank aimed to raise awareness of one of Feeding the 5000's campaigns, The Pig Idea. Since the foot and mouth epidemic in 2001, there's been a ban on feeding catering waste, even from vegan kitchens, to the UK's nine million pigs, even though there is no scientific evidence that feeding pigs on scraps is harmful. Increased grain prices have had a major impact on pig farmers as a result, pushing some out of business, but if farmers were allowed to feed pigs on waste, The Pig Idea claim it would reduce farming costs by up to 70 per cent. 'There's a hierarchy in food waste,' explains Edd Colbert, The Pig Idea's campaign coordinator. 'We shouldn't be wasting food in the first place. But where we do, we should redistribute it to humans in need first. Then, where it's not suitable for humans, it's better to build an infrastructure where it can be fed to animals like pigs and chickens, to keep it in the food chain.'
Drew agrees: 'Driving sustainability in our food systems is something I have invested in. I am an environmental capitalist. I want to make money from business and repair the environment at the same time. We have to harness entrepreneurial spirit, the markets and an understanding of the environment in order to fix our problems.'
Making use of food waste is no longer the sole preserve of charities and bin divers, it seems. In Stuart's words: 'I would most definitely call this a food waste revolution.'

SEATTLE — The "Fifty Shades of Grey" books have made British author E.L. James very rich. They have also made a certain Seattle apartment building red hot.
Ever since the trailer for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie came out last month, Erik Mehr's phone has been ringing a lot.
Mehr is the real estate broker for the "Fifty Shades apartment."
Yes, the upscale apartment building in Seattle where fictional billionaire Christian Grey lives — and does lots of kinky things — actually exists. It's called Escala.
It's overwhelmingly women ages 19 to 50 that call Mehr's firm, begging to spend a night or two in the famous penthouse or, at least, get their photo somewhere in the building.
"Our silly phone calls have spiked again where people want to rent the room," Mehr said. "I don't think they realize that this is a condominium building that residents live in and there is no red room."
E.L. James heard about Escala, which was completed in 2009, and wove it into her story, although she did take a number of liberties. For example, there isn't a helicopter landing pad on the roof.
Escala had to increase its security measures since the book came out in 2012 and fans became a little too eager to get close to "the apartment."
The most expensive penthouse at Escala doesn't have a red room. A family from Oregon bought it in 2013 for $6.2 million.
But the building does have some famous people with ties to the building. Escala has had as many as three Major League Baseball players as residents. San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum owned one of the "sub penthouses," but he sold it earlier this year.
While the "Fifty Shades" trilogy and movie have caused some headaches for Escala residents, there have also been perks.
E.L. James gave a private book signing to building residents, according to Mehr, and the film crew took shots of Escala's exterior (with the owners' consent) that are likely to appear in the movie.
But the greatest benefit of all has been the skyrocketing home values since the book's release.
According to real estate website Zillow, the median sales price for a Seattle condo has risen about 10% since 2010. The median sales price for Escala apartments, however, have surged over 75%.
Only six apartments remain unsold in the building. Most are going for around a million.
Still, Mehr attributes the phenomenal rise more to the improving economy and Seattle's rising popularity than the book.
"Most of the unit owners are like you may expect — they're business people or a bit older, so the book wasn't on their radar," says Mehr. "For the most part, they would rather downplay where they live."
But it's notable that much of the price jump occurred since the first "Fifty Shades of Grey" book came out in the spring of 2012. The median sale price rose 62% since then, according to Zillow.
That's the kind of economics ruthless businessman Christian Grey would likely approve ofAlertMe

The Bluffton Bobcats may have lost a football game Friday night to Goose Creek, but they were not beaten on the football field.
Time and time again the Bobcats have shown pride, spirit and tenacity throughout a dream season in a new region.
How the Bobcats ended up at the 11th hour having to travel to Goose Creek to play the No. 1 ranked team in the state, and nationally ranked Gators, is another story. And that story is far from over.
The next chapter comes Monday afternoon in Columbia when the South Carolina High School League meets again to discuss and determine Goose Creek's status. At issue is an ineligible player.
Without going into all the gory details and rehashing all the twists and turns, let's just say the Goose Creek team probably should never have been in the playoffs to begin with. And after an unsuccessful appeal Wednesday, the coach, school hired lawyers and pursued legal action. They were allowed to play Friday night after a judge made a ruling and then sent the issue back to the SCHSL. Back where it all started. Again.
Last time I checked, football was about the student-athletes and the kids. Not about parents, coaches, lawyers and adults who should know better.
I get that the adults want what is best for the kids and if there was a chance for Goose Creek to continue its season by following the rules everyone else followed, I'd be all in favor of giving Goose Creek another chance.
I have played out all the scenarios and wonder how Bluffton would react if it was in Goose Creek's' shoes. I feel pretty darn certain that once the appeal process was over Bluffton would accept the outcome and move forward with heads held high. That's just how Bluffton comports itself. This spirit and attitude makes Bluffton the town it is and why people love to live here and be a part of Bobcat Nation.
Covering the Bobcats, coach Ken Cribb and his staff for the past two seasons has been a good experience for Bluffton Today.
We've been right alongside the team, the players, the parents and the fans and we have been thrilled to be able to report on so much success for a team and school deserving of it.
The players are fine young men who have been led by a strong coach with superb discipline and direction. The Bobcats have represented the school and the community well.
Even in the face of adversity and disappointment, the Bobcats have made us proud by showing respect, diplomacy and gratitude.
While the football season may or may not be over - we'll find out Monday afternoon - the lessons our community is learning continue. If Bluffton makes that trip Friday to Rock Hill to play in the next round of the state playoffs, we'll be there with them. If they don't, we'll still be with them as they are true champions.

Month by Month: October
Month by Month: October
BE TRUE. Without getting into a debate about the "usefulness" of Halloween, I think we can all agree that there are times when wearing a mask and pretending to be something we're not is welcome and maybe even a little fun. I also think we often (perhaps unknowingly) mask on our layouts some of the truths of our lives in our efforts to present the life we want to preserve. We put a costume on our history. If I do that on every layout, however, years from now I won't be able to show my boys the trials they put me through. Why would they believe my advice on parenting if all the layouts I have are of them being wonderful?
This month's layout from my Month-by-Month Scrapbooking book focuses on removing the masks. It's all about being true and not hiding things. I could have just scrapped pictures of the boys' finished jack-o'-lanterns and called it good, but I wanted to capture the fact that my boys really don't like the process. Don't be afraid to tell all sides of a story!
Eww . . . by Amanda Probst. Supplies Cardstock: Prism Papers; Chipboard letters: Li'l Davis Designs; Felt flower border: Queen & Co.; Font: Tahoma; Adhesive: Scotch, 3M.
Here are three more ideas to consider this October:
1. Tell all. October is Family History Month. Do you have any interesting "black sheep" stories to share with future generations?
2. Share discoveries. In honor of Columbus Day, do you have any grand discoveries you'd like to share with the world? (If you happen to have invented a way to shrink things while packing, do let me know, okay?)
3. Get it off your chest. Go ahead. Share your pet peeves. I recently finished a layout about things I'd change if I were in charge. Even though nothing's actually changed, I feel better somehow.
Now for challenge time. For October, I challenge you to tilt your layout. It's totally easy, and it's a fun way to change things up! Post your work in our Month-by-Month scrapbooking group.
Also, here are five sketches from the layout above to help jump-start your creativity:

It has started raining in Mumbai. Let me amend that sentence.
It has been raining in Mumbai since before Summer ended, and there is copious amounts of water pouring from the sky at any given time of the day except when I leave for office. *breaths in*. Which makes me sad.
I have not had a single rainy day off. Never in school, and not in office. Such is life.
However, I do have bright, zany, shiny footwear to repel those evil puddles and light up these working days!
Now, the Indian Juti is an awesome footwear. It is ballerina type, and it cut low on the sides, showcasing more of the foot that the more famous ballet slippers. Plus, the jutis have a lot of intricate design and handwork done on them. Traditionally from northern India, the term literally means 'shoe' in feminine (as in, Juta is masculine and used to denote more heavy type of footwear. Men have Jutis as well)
However, traditionally, the Juti is made of leather. This makes it a little uncomfortable in the initial days when you are breaking it in, and also makes it a difficult footwear for all those rainy days.
Which, when you are living in a city like Mumbai or Calcutta ( Kolkata) is 10 months out of the 12 (figurative). The sad part of which is the damage they wreak on leather footwear through the myriad potholes filled with water.
Now, I don't know if you have heard of this place in South Mumbai called 'Breach Candy'. It is next to the sea, and is a narrow uphill road. Its remarkable feature is the plethora of shoe shops on either side of the road!
Shoes! Everywhere! And oh! so many. I love the place.
So when in June my mother came down for a visit, I made my way there with her, for not only is it about a lot of shoe shops, it is also a nice quaint neighborhood where one can spend a lot of time doing nothing. Oh! and it has a number of coffee shops and bakeries. What more can you ask for eh?
Walking around Breach Candy, it is almost impossible not to buy shoes. And, in one of the shops as we went in, I spotted these bright blue jutis.
I put them on, only to realize they were made of rubber! Not a bit of canvas or leather near these things! How delightful! Waterproof Jutis!
They have a base color of black, with colored thread embroidery all over it – in blue, orange and silver. The piping of the shoe is silver as well. Imatches very well with jeans, and also any salwar or churidar. They are super comfortable to walk, with enough friction at the base.
Since then, I have paired this pair with jeans a number of times, not only on weekends, but also to my ultra professional office (on Fridays) and had pleasing results. Whenever I need to step out of the car and access that shop, through a puddle, these shoes cause me no worry.
By virtue of being made of rubber, they dont get too wet, and they dry pretty soon. Also, after being wet so many times, they still look as good as new!
These are now my favorite go-to shoes for Fridays and weekends, when its raining.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Brek Shea scored his first international goal off a feed from Landon Donovan in the 82nd minute Tuesday night to give the United States a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica and the top spot in its Gold Cup group.
Seconds after Sean Johnson made a brilliant save off a corner kick, Joe Corona cleared the ball, setting up the winning sequence. The veteran Donovan, trying to work his way back into a starring role on the national team after a self-imposed hiatus, took the ball on the right side. He quickly spotted Shea, who came on just five minutes earlier, streaking down the middle.
Donovan's pass hit Shea in stride, and the Stoke City player sent a left-footed shot from 15 yards off goalkeeper Patrick Pemberton for the winner, the Americans' eighth straight, a team record.
They will play El Salvador on Sunday in Baltimore, while Costa Rica meets Honduras.
Shea's goal broke a 785-minute string without being scored upon for Costa Rica. It followed Johnson, considered a fourth-stringer at best in the net for the United States, making a clutch stop on Carlos Johnson.
The match was played in slightly different conditions than the last time the nations met. That was in a blizzard in Denver, with the United States edging Costa Rica 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier. Tuesday night, there was plenty of moisture on the pitch just before kickoff, but it came from sprinklers trying to keep the turf in shape during a northeastern heat wave.
With both sides already having clinched moving on in the CONCACAF championship, not much happened offensively until late in the match in front of 25,432.
Early in the second half, Costa Rica captain Pemberton came out of his net, collided with a teammate outside the area and then had the ball hit him squarely in the hands. He was given only a yellow card, however, then immediately made saves on Jose Torres' curling free kick and Donovan's shot off a rebound.
That sequence opened up play for a while, but then it deteriorated into sloppiness and some roughness in midfield between teams with no love lost.
U.S. captain DaMarcus Beasley took a nasty spill and was run over by Rodney Wallace early in the match. A woozy Beasley sat out three minutes before returning — and almost immediately stripped the ball from Wallace.
His teammates struggled to link up, showing their lack of familiarity with each other, through the first 20 minutes. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann's charge to is to find the right combinations to get the Americans into the World Cup.

The story below has been widely attacked as being alarmist.
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/20 ... umans.htmlThe Uninhabitable Earth
Famine, economic collapse, a sun that cooks us: What climate change could wreak — sooner than you think.
...It is, I promise, worse than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible, even within the lifetime of a teenager today. And yet the swelling seas — and the cities they will drown — have so dominated the picture of global warming, and so overwhelmed our capacity for climate panic, that they have occluded our perception of other threats, many much closer at hand. Rising oceans are bad, in fact very bad; but fleeing the coastline will not be enough.
Indeed, absent a significant adjustment to how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth will likely become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century...
The relatively easy measures required to prevent disaster, had we acted ~30 years ago, now require much more immediate and drastic action:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ene ... r-1&wpmm=1These experts say we have three years to get climate change under control. And they're the optimists.
A group of prominent scientists, policymakers, and corporate leaders released a statement Wednesday warning that if the world doesn't set greenhouse gas emissions on a downward path by 2020, it could become impossible to contain climate change within safe limits.
The group, led by Christiana Figueres, who oversaw the United Nations negotiations that produced the Paris climate agreement, base their case on simple math. The world, they calculate, probably has a maximum of 600 billion remaining tons of carbon dioxide that can be emitted if we want a good chance of holding the rise in planetary temperatures within the Paris limit of 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius (2.7 to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
With 41 billion tons emitted every year from energy consumption and other sources, such as deforestation, there are only about 15 years before that budget is exhausted.
Emissions can't suddenly go to zero after 15 years — the world economy would grind to a halt if they did. Therefore, they must be put on a downward path almost immediately...
Some tools for planning your future as a North American Climate refugee:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... =RecEngineAs Climate Changes, Southern
States Will Suffer More Than Others
As the United States confronts global warming in the decades ahead, not all states will suffer equally. Maine may benefit from milder winters. Florida, by contrast, could face major losses, as deadly heat waves flare up in the summer and rising sea levels eat away at valuable coastal properties.
In a new study in the journal Science, researchers analyzed the economic harm that climate change could inflict on the United States in the coming century. They found that the impacts could prove highly unequal: states in the Northeast and West would fare relatively well, while parts of the Midwest and Southeast would be especially hard hit.
In all, the researchers estimate that the nation could face damages worth 0.7 percent of gross domestic product per year by the 2080s for every 1 degree Fahrenheit rise in global temperature. But that overall number obscures wide variations: The worst-hit counties — mainly in states that already have warm climates, like Arizona or Texas — could see losses worth 10 to 20 percent of G.D.P. or more if emissions continue to rise unchecked...
https://www.climaterealityproject.org/b ... e-explorerSIX WAYS TO SEE YOUR CLIMATE FUTURE USING NOAA'S CLIMATE EXPLORER
From the mean daily temperature to the number of days with precipitation over 1", the NOAA Climate Explorer has a scientific way to see how climate change will affect where you live.
What is the Climate Explorer? In short, it's a crystal ball created by our friends at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to show what the future may be like for the United States, depending on whether we act on climate or continue emitting greenhouse gases.
The Climate Explorer accomplishes this by instantly displaying interactive maps and graphs that visualize recorded and projected climate change impacts across the United States.
Climate Explorer's graphs and maps show projected conditions for two possible futures: one in which humans make a moderate attempt to reduce global emissions of heat-trapping gases, and one in which we go on conducting business as usual. NOAA makes these predictions based on global climate models developed for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Sabrina, Inc
Sabrina, Inc can be summed up as a creative agency that handles various kinds of artists and professionals while also providing a broad range of creative services from photography to styling, to photo production to writing to pr. The company should be portrayed as young, hip, yet polished, as a HUGE part of our business is offering photo and media services to those in the luxury home design market.
Our audience can be broken down into two parts: Lifestyle, home interiors & furnishings and garden professionals looking for photography and photo production for their catalog, magazine, or company. Sabrina, Inc represents five commercial photographers and can handle all ins and outs of a photo shoot, from location scout, styling and prop shopping, to talent management, to postproduction and billings. Several members of our creative team are published writers whom all can execute your magazine assignment, copy for your company and even ghost writing your forthcoming book.
Our second audience, which overlaps the first, are architects, interior designers and other creative professionals interesting in PR & new media campaigns. Sabrina, Inc is a classic publicist and a progressive agency who can handle your social media campaigns. We place our clients on television, awards finalists, print and web.
Designers can refer to the Hermes website for reference: http://www.hermes.com/index_us.html
While Hermes could be summed up as *the* luxury brand of the world, the site and branding is fun and whimsical, this is something that we would like to strive for in Sabrina, Inc.
Colors/theme: Sabrina, Inc is founded by Sabrina Velandry. The femininity of the brand should be showcased. Some color ideas could be raspberries, greys and/or corals/oranges.
The logo should convey luxury, classic, fresh and modern all at once. And of course we want it to be memorable and identifiable.
Thank you all for the GREAT logos. As I look through them all, in general they're all a bit too wedding/'princess'/girly looking. While we want to emphasize the feminity of the brand, we are experts in negotiating, and are often referred to as 'the rock' of our clients. Our clients again are: architects, interior designers, shelter magazines, and other creative industries (think growing yoga franchise).
Please change color scheme from purples, to more greys, with a smaller splash of color (would prefer a coral/tangerine-mixed in with soft greys with some deeper/bolder tones).
Also: All logos must include full name, Sabrina Inc and tag: Business and Media Solutions for the Creative Industries.

The prestigious Men's Underwear Fitting Guide tells us that if your undershirt keeps untucking from your pants, "you probably need a smaller size undershirt." This is supposedly because the armhole depth of an undershirt too big will cause the side seam of the shirt hem to come up when you reach up. In fact, MUFG believes an undershirt should be at least 3" longer than the top of your pants. I don't really understand this to be honest.
I don't think Johnny Jolly reads or understand MUFG either, because every game I've ever seen him play, his big ol' XXXL jersey is untucked and open for business. This always struck me as unusual since everyone elses' jerseys stay securely tucked throughout the game, so I watched Jolly closely the last two weeks. Sure enough, his jersey doesn't become untucked during the course of the game; like clockwork, he pulls it out of his pants (no, not that) after the first defensive play.
I've always been an untucker myself. It's faster, more comfortable and I have to agree with Gardenfoot when he says, "untucking your shirt means you live by your own rules." Jolly is the same way. Sure, Rodgers, Jennings and Woodson normally come to mind when you think of "cool" Packers, but you know what? Their shirts are always tucked in. ALWAYS! With his untucked shirt, Johnny Jolly proves he is ultimate rebel in an otherwise highly controlled enterprise. He not only shows he's the coolest guy on the Packers, but that he just might be the James Dean of the NFL.
And there's more. Football has become so popular it has transcended the world of fashion and even common-sense style. Somehow along the way, it has become acceptable for grown men listed at 6'3, 320 lbs. to wear tight-fitting, tucked-in mandex outfits. In today's world of 50+ inch HD televisions, that can get pretty disgusting. Johnny Jolly reminds us that's not cool, and that sometimes living by your own rules does everyone some good.

BOSTON - A bankruptcy court judge on Friday froze the assets of the four owners of a pharmacy blamed for a fatal meningitis outbreak, clearing the way for creditors to determine what's left of the millions the owners received from the firm.
The order Friday by Judge Henry Boroff at a hearing in Springfield forbids the owners of the New England Compounding Center from spending or moving any of their assets, except to pay living expenses or legal bills. The written order from Boroff was expected to be released Monday.
The order, which came in response to a motion by a creditors committee, applies to owners Barry Cadden, his wife Lisa Cadden, her brother Greg Conigliaro and her sister-in-law Carla Conigliaro.
Anne Andrews, an attorney for one of the creditors on the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, called the decision a "big victory."
Andrews said creditors can now find out how much the owners still have of the tens of millions they were paid, and the court can determine much they owe back to the creditors, who include victims of the outbreak. A hearing on that issue was scheduled for Feb. 28.
A request for comment was made Friday by email to a spokesman for the defendants.
The fungal meningitis outbreak, discovered in Tennessee in December, has killed 44 and sickened 600. The outbreak was linked to a tainted steroid made by the Framingham-based NECC. The state said subsequent inspections of the company found unsanitary conditions and flawed sterility testing procedures. The owners currently face 150 lawsuits.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December, saying it wanted to establish a compensation fund for victims. It listed just $400,000 in net assets, which plaintiffs' attorneys say is not nearly enough to cover the claims against it.
But the NECC also disclosed that in the last 11 months, the company made $21 million in payments to company insiders, including the four owners. In court Thursday, the creditors' committee said over the last six years the company had paid $70.5 million to company insiders. The payments included salaries, shareholder disbursements and funds to cover the company's taxes.

This question already has an answer here:
I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Laptop. While installing two options were available:
Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7
Replace windows 7
My Laptop had 3 drives. Windows 7 was installed on
C: drive and there was data on other two drives. I chose option to
Replace Windows 7.
But now in Ubuntu, there is only one drive. Its size is approximately equals the hard-disk size and it is almost free, so it seems like all the data is lost.
Could anyone please help me on this? Would it be possible to recover the lost data?

On last night's episode, the concept of the photo shoot was to "raise awareness" for an apparently worthy cause: the sinister business of designer knockoffs. It robs the fashion industry by making the fashion industry unable to rob consumers!
What I loved most about the idiocy of this shoot is that the concept completely contradicted what it produced. The whole point was to "raise awareness about the cost of being fake," but one of the photos that received the most praise was Angelea's, for her portrayal of, "I'm fake and what! What choo gone say about it?" (Tyra's words, not mine.)
Whatever the case, I'm really glad that Angelea is pulling off good photos, because she needs to stay around as long as possible. She's infinitely entertaining to watch. She comforts people by doing Hammer dances, unintentionally masturbates ("I was feelin' myself"), doesn't know how to brush her hair, has a signature claw-growl, and shows her vagina to the streets of New York. At this point, the only difference between Angelea and my dog is the Hammer dance.
I really love girls who really love bodily functions.
Tyra mail!

Several months ago I created a piece of subway art to hang over the buffet in our kitchen. It features all sorts of cooking terms … it just made sense since my hubby and I are both big cooks.
But, I always thought the 3 pieces of artwork were too close together and never did stand out like I wanted it to.
This canvas is much larger (2'x3') than the original wooden piece. And I like it much better now! Finally, I feel like it makes a statement and takes up all the visual space on that wall.
How do you like it?
Now if I can just figure out how best to accessorize the top of the buffet…
Thanks for visiting!

However, we must look to Suffolk for the first records of the surname for it is there in 1188 William de Underwode was found. A few years later in Yorkshire, William Underwude de Clokton was listed in the Assize Rolls of 1219. William Under the Wode was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Staffordshire in 1332.
