The grass is turning green again and the flowers are about to bloom, and your spring allergies are already becoming a nuisance.
For one in six Canadians, the arrival of spring also signals the arrival of seasonal allergies, the CBC reports.
Mimicking the same symptoms as a common cold, hay fever (a type of seasonal allergy) can leave you with a runny and stuffed nose, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, and even a sore throat.
To get relief, you could reach for an antihistamine or you can try to treat it naturally. In the video above, the cast of "The Doctors" share five all-natural remedies for soothing sore throats, clearing congestion and reducing inflammation.
And if red, itchy eyes are the problem, Dr. Drew Ordon says cleaning your eyes with diluted baby shampoo can reduce the irritants without causing you to cry — who knew?
Do you have any at home allergy remedies? Let us know in the comments below.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in federal court on Wednesday charging that the D.C.-area Metro transit system's decision to ban advertisements for a book written by gay conservative writer Milo Yiannopoulos and "message" ads from three other groups, including the ACLU itself, violates the First Amendment.
Noting that Metro initially accepted the ads for Yiannopoulos' book before abruptly taking them down last month, ACLU lawyers filed a motion asking for "immediate relief" from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for reinstatement of the ads to avoid further loss of revenue from book sales.
The lawsuit says Metro's decision in 2015 to avoid having to accept "hate" ads by banning all ads "intended to influence members of the public regarding an issue on which there are varying opinions" goes far beyond the constitutional free speech limits set by the First Amendment.
The Metro advertising policy also calls for banning ads "intended to influence public policy."
"This case highlights the consequences of the government's attempt to suppress all controversial speech on public transit property," said Arthur Spitzer, legal director of the ACLU of the D.C. area and the lead attorney on the case.
"The First Amendment protects the speech of everyone from discriminatory government censorship, whether you agree with the message or not," he said.
The lawsuit names as plaintiffs Milo Worldwide LLC, the company of Yiannopoulos that's distributing his book; People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, known as PETA; FEMHEALTH USA, a company that produces an abortion pill; and the ACLU.
ACLU officials said the civil liberties group initiated the lawsuit, among other reasons, when Metro turned down an ad it proposed that simply quoted the First Amendment in English, Arabic, and Spanish.
"The four plaintiffs in this case perfectly illustrate the indivisibility of the First Amendment," said ACLU senior staff attorney Lee Rowland. "In its zeal to avoid hosting offensive and hateful speech, the government has eliminated speech that makes us think, including the text of the First Amendment itself," he said.
"The ACLU could not more strongly disagree with the values that Milo Yiannopoulos espouses, but we can't allow the government to pick and choose which viewpoints are acceptable," Rowland added.
Metro acknowledged that it removed the ads for the Yiannopoulos book "Dangerous" after receiving a flood of complaints from the public. But Metro officials said they removed the book ads, which included a photo of Yiannopoulos along with the words, "The Most Hated Man on the Internet" after determining the ads violated its 2015 policy.
The Yiannopoulos book ads first appeared on Metro stations five months after the alt-right publication Breitbart dismissed him from his role as an editor after a video surfaced in which Yiannopoulos appeared to be condoning sex between adults and minors. His remarks prompted Simon & Schuster publishing house to rescind its book contract for "Dangerous." Yiannopoulos has since self-published the book through Amazon.
He issued an apology over his remarks on the video about sex with minors, saying he used a poor choice of words and never intended to imply he favors repealing age of consent laws banning sex between adults and minors.
Long before the video surfaced, Yiannopoulos came under fire for his controversial views on race relations, feminism, immigration, Islam, and transgender rights that some critics have characterized as racist, sexist, xenophobic, and trans phobic.
The Washington Post reports that the ACLU has come under fire from some for its decision to include Yiannopoulos in its First Amendment lawsuit. The Post quoted Massachusetts Democratic congressional candidate Brianna Wu as saying the day the ACLU "works for Milo is the day I decide to never give them a dime."
The lawsuit calls on the court to order Metro to accept and run the ads submitted by the four plaintiffs on its trains, buses and in Metro stations. It also asks the court to declare parts of Metro's advertising restrictions unconstitutional on grounds that they violate free speech rights, are arbitrarily enforced, and unconstitutionally vague.
Milo is an extraordinary court jester. Who wouldn't laugh at the ridiculous and hilarious stuff he says? Really, if he upsets you so much, try an Ex-Lax.
Obviously you haven't a clue about Milo.
Yes I do and I love him. I bought his fantastic book too!
Then perhaps you should choose your words more carefully. Hardly a court jester, Milo is a force of nature seriously confronting the pc culture infecting our colleges and this site. Dangerous is indeed fantastic and so is the new line of clothing!
I think we may use all kinds of words to praise Nero. He is truly a man of many dimensions and various depths. Mattachino is one of his many talents to say the least.
Personally, I've completely had it with all of the gender studies lingo BS being propagated in the gay community and look forward to the day it's just a bad memory.
Miss Milo is a force of NAMBLA advocating the molestation of boys.. She's a wannabe trouble maker inciting violence for the sake of publicity! She's a witch whose broomstick needs to be forced deep into her legs then set on fire!

The Southern Poverty Law Center wastes resources defending this right-wing child molestor who bahes the very center that defend him. Miss Milo has alot of money, let her defend herself in court. I hope she gets jail time! All Trump supporters are a crime that belong in jail!
If these posters are allowed on Metro, sooner or later they will be defaced, ripped apart and thrown away!

We have been in what seems like the "ice age" this week with all of the bad weather. Around my house, we got about 1-1.5 inches of ice on Monday, followed by snow, then more ice, then more snow, then ....well, you get it.
Thinking about all of this "ice" this week has made me think and study more about a word that is relatively confused by many in the world when they do not study the origins and meanings of the original text and translation (transliteration in some cases).
I recently heard a very good illustration about original meanings of words. The Chevy Nova was being marketed in South America some years ago. The success of this car was not very good at all.
After some research, marketing executives finally had an answer to why their cars were not selling there. You see, the word "va" in Spanish means "go". The word "no" in Spanish means....you guessed it "no."
Now, put those two together in the ebonics of the car's name - "no" "va." YES...you get it. They were marketing a car that in the original language meant that it would not go!
Sometimes, we may be just as guilty in our own reading of the Bible. One particular passage is in Acts 2:38 when Peter says "Repent... and be baptized for (emphasis) the remission of sins...."
In the original Koine Greek language, this word is "eis." In a basic Bible word study in Logos Software, here is what you will see:
As you can see, there are several words that are transliterated from this Greek preposition. The passage in question is grouped into the top left category which is orange, meaning "for", but in some translations, it is translated as "into" which is the much broader use.
The confusion comes in with some of our religious friends that want to bind a completely separate use in Matthew that represents the phrase "because of." If you notice, from the Bible word study graphics, that is not even a possibility of the translation/transliteration.
So, what does this mean? Well, it means just what it says...
"Repent...be baptized FOR the remission of sins." Nothing less. There is nowhere in the Bible where you will find salvation coming prior to baptism. Even the closest difference would include baptism in the "same hour" in the text of salvation...so which came first in that instance? Did you read this blog before reading the title? Or did you read it at the same time? Or did you read it after? In this situation, there is no reason to believe that you did not read the title and then be voted on being able to read the blog days or weeks later. You read it the same hour! (unless you purposely didn't!)
If salvation is a precursor to baptism, then Peter got it wrong, Paul got it wrong multiple times, and that means that the Holy Spirit got it wrong. 1 Tim 3:16-17 tells me that ALL scripture is GOD BREATHED, meaning that there are no mistakes! There is no confusion! God is NOT the author of confusion and He did not confuse this subject either.
If you have questions about this topic, please contact me for a personal one-on-one Bible study. We will use only the Bible and nothing more.

"Firstly, this property should receive higher reviews, but we were very, very unfortunately to book the ground floor apartment of this converted barn and can I strongly recommend you do not make the same mistake. The barn complex has been converted into about 5 seperate units with 2 of these situated directly above the ground floor unit. We had checked the reviews which mentioned the noise sounded like people moving furniture all day and night from above, but I thought it was just people complaining about every little noise so we went on with the booking. Can I say, they were right on every account. Even on checking in we heard the noises with the manager who was quick to mention these people were moving out in 2 days time, but even then, the other family appeared to be playing furniture bowling all night until after 11pm directly above our heads. Not only that, you could hear absolutely every word they said through the very thin ceiling. Now the unit itself is advertised as sleeping 6, which in reality it can do. The lounge on entry has a sofa bed and kitchen/dining area and the single bathroom extends from this. Down a short corridor leads to another single bedroom to your right, then a left turn takes you through another bedroom with 2 single beds, but you have to walk through this bedroom to get to the master double bedroom. It is not suitable at all for more than 2 adults, but if you had 4 kids, it could work. The complex is quite a way from anything which was no concern for us as we had a car, but without transport you would be very isolated. We had major issues with the gas on our last night, but a quick phone call to the manager Giovanni and both he and his brother arrived in under 10 minutes. Giovanni and his brother are the highlight of the property, doing whatever they could to make our stay comfortable, unfortunately the ground floor apartment let them down. The other downside is the property was listed as having a microwave which it didn't, until Giovanni brought one when our gas ran out, it also showed having a washing machine, which it doesn't, you either pay Giovanni to wash your clothes of make a trip into Sieci to do it at a laundromat. If you do not remove your own general waste, you pay a €20 fee which was not advertised and you also get billed for any gas that you use, also not advertised but waived in our instance due to the issues we had with our gas/hot water on the final night. I hate to mention so many negative points as Giovanni did everything within his control to make our stay enjoyable, even giving us access to one of the noisy upstairs apartments to shower as we had no hot water, but again, it was the ground floor apartment which let this place down."
"Hello and thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your stay. We have liaised with the owner and are aware of the possible noise issues and had hoped that this had been made clear to you before your arrival. The properties secluded feel is something we feel is a positive as many guests are looking for tranquility. It does not necessarily mean that a car is essential however, as Sieci is only a short walk and there you can find good public transport links. The owner has assured us that all heating and shower issues are now fixed. We are glad that the owner was of assistance to you and hope that despite some issues you still had an enjoyable holiday and will book with us again. "
"Good reception, beautiful surroundings, lovely view, nice apartment, near Florence. Very good value for money. This is the lower apartment; shifting tables, sofas and chairs above us in the other apartment made a lot of noise. Please note that the swimming pool is open until the end of may/beginning of July."
"Goede ontvangst, prachtige omgeving, heerlijk uitzicht, mooi appartement, dichtbij Florence. Echt een aanrader! Dit is het onderste appartement; het verschuiven van tafels, banken en stoelen boven ons in het andere appartement maakte veel lawaai. Hou er rekening mee dat het zwembad pas eind mei/begin juli open gaat."
"Cozy atmosphere. The landlords are doing everything to make the stay as well as possible such as wood for the fireplace, home delivery wine supply. A corridors. You may well hear it shuttled with chairs, etc. of the upstairs neighbours."
"Gezellige sfeer. De verhuurders doen alles om het verblijf zo goed mogelijk te maken zoals hout voor de haard leveren, de wijn aan huis bezorgen. Een minpuntje is de gehorigheid. Je kunt goed het geschuif met stoelen e.d. van de bovenburen horen."

SEGA has revealed through the Dengeki Online website the first four characters that will appear in A Certain Magical Virtual-On (Toaru Majutsu no Virtual-On), which is a collaboration title between the popular anime title A Certain Magical Index and SEGA's mecha combat game series Cyber Troopers Virtual-On. Each character will be assigned a Virtualoid mech that they will use to fight in this game.
Most of the information here has been translated directly from Dengeki, with additional details on the Virtualoids being made available courtesy of Hachima Kikō.
MBV-707-G/VSL Temjin, piloted by Kamijo Touma
A high ability all-purpose standard unit that can unleash a stable performance. The Sleipnir launcher on its right hand can be used in both short and long ranges. It is used by pilots of varied experience levels, from beginners to experts.
IDX-10/3000 Bal-Loloon, customized Virtualoid for Index
A Type-545 multi-purpose integrated unit. This Virtualoid is being developed and used independently within the academy. It is equipped with autonomously controlled launchers on its both arms and lower body which can also be detached. Bal-type units used to be aimed towards experienced pilots in past Virtual-On games.
RVR-87/VSL Specineff "Rusty Blood", customized Virtualoid for Accelerator
This Specineff unit, which is custom-made for Accelerator, is designated as a 'malice curse assassination unit'. It can amplify malice in a disorderly manner.
HBV-502-H8/VSL Raiden "Judge Igniters", piloted by Misaka Mikoto
Its shoulder unit, the Steiv 800Z, is equipped with high-output lasers among others. Raiden is chosen for Mikoto because she has good compatibility with this Virtualoid, which has weapons like lasers and thunder balls.
Battles in A Certain Magical Virtual-On will take place in Virtual-On game tournaments taking place in various stages specifically made for battling. One of the stages has been confirmed to use the rooftop of a building in the academy town.
And while in past Virtual-On games Virtualoids used to only have up to three weapons, in this game they will be able to have a fourth weapon, which is based on the ability of the A Certain Magical Index character piloting them, by loading the ability when the V-Converter at the Virtualoid's back starts its drive sequence. For example, if Temjin is piloted by Kamijo Touma, it will load his Imagine Breaker ability and generate a fourth weapon based on that.
A Certain Magical Virtual-On is a versus battle action game that will be released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in 2018 in Japan. A playable demo of the game will be also available at Tokyo Game Show 2017.

University College Dublin has risen one place to 74th place in the Graduate Employability Ranking for 2019, retaining its position as the top university in Ireland for employability for a second year.
Each year, the annual QS rankings in employability rate the top 500 universities globally. Universities are scored out of 100 across 4 metrics rankings: Alumni Outcomes, Employer-Student Connections, Employer Reputation, and Partnerships with Employers.
UCD's Veterinary Science course is ranked 24th globally in the QS rankings by subject, while nursing at UCD is 31st worldwide.
In a statement published in the Irish Times, UCD President Prof Andrew Deeks welcomed the improved ranking, saying the university had invested "considerable resources to ensure our education curriculum includes transferable skills that our graduates take forward into their working careers."
He also praised UCD academics whose "excellent research profiles" bring "enormous value" to students.
Trinity College Dublin (TCD) recovered slightly, rising to the 101-110 bracket, having fallen last year from its 2017 bracket ranking of 71-80 to a bracket ranking of 111-120. TCD is still the highest ranked university in Ireland in the QS World University Ranking, where it sits at 104th in 2019, despite falling from its peak ranking of 61st in the world in 2014.
Vice-Provost of TCD Chris Morash said in a statement reported in the University Times that "a Trinity education enables our students to reach their full potential both inside and outside the classroom. We want our students to develop their skills and graduate attributes to succeed in their studies and in their careers".
Morash also said that the rankings are a "testament" to the "hard work" of TCD students.
The National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) and the University of Limerick (UL) both received the same bracket rankings as last year, at 301-500 and 201-250, respectively. University College Cork (UCC) also remains in the 301-500 bracket in which it sat last year.
For the first time, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scooped first place for graduate employability, having previously trailed in second in 2017 and 5th in 2018. Stanford University had dominated the rankings since they began, holding 1st place in both 2017 and 2018.

Designers fabricate elaborate costumes for Halloween
Andrea Hefferan | Online Editor
Senior Wrynn Boucher and junior Caite Brutvan have already been designing their costumes by hand for weeks by the time most people start to shop for Halloween.
This year, Boucher and Brutvan both set out to make their Halloween costumes by hand. Brutvan discovered sewing at a young age; her skill and passion for it has grown over the years. Now, she uses it as a way to destress from the pressures of high school.
"My grandma actually taught me how to sew when I was seven, so about ten years ago," Brutvan said. "I started out with just a few small projects and then I hit middle school and high school and started doing more elaborate projects like making costumes."
For Boucher, the process to make a costume takes about 70 hours from start to finish. While he does his best to plan out every detail, sometimes he said he has to get creative.
"First, I have to have a character in mind," Boucher said. "I have to do a ton of research from every single angle to make sure it's perfect. I sketch it out and start designing what materials I'm going to make it out of. And if that doesn't work then I come up with something else on the fly, because not everything works exactly how you expect it."
While she did not choose a specific character to dress up as, Brutvan decided on a steampunk theme for her costume — a Victorian age style combined with steam powered technology. This unique style allowed her to create a piece that differs from the typical Halloween costume.
"I love the steampunk style of clothing," Brutvan said. "It's always interested me. I think it's cool to see the costumes with different gears and other stuff. A lot of times it's more neutral colors or natural fabrics so you see a lot of cotton and silk and leather, which you don't generally see in a lot of costumes."
Junior Catie Brutvan created her own flapper costume, inspired by the 'Steampunk' fashion style.
Costumes involve various pieces and making it all by hand can get expensive. Boucher uses scrap material and goes thrifting to make it as inexpensive as possible.
"I usually use a lot of recycling in it; I build a lot of things from scrap," Boucher said. "There's always the off chance of finding a good item to start building off of in a thrift store. The things that are used to perfect it like worbla, silicon spray, stuff like that, that's more on the expensive side, but the basis is pretty cheap."
Boucher does not use his sewing skills merely to make his own costume. He also puts together costumes for his theater group, the Mason Community Players, and cosplay.
"Because I mentioned that I can make a costume, the theater group I was close to was like, 'You're a part of us now,'" Boucher said. "So that's my job now. I also do it for different conventions because my friends like to come with me to them and dress up. So we'll just all coordinate or I'll help make them stuff. I also apply it by offering to sew pockets in people's dresses for five dollars so that way at Homecoming you don't worry about losing stuff. Just simple things like that to help other people."
Senior Wrynn Boucher created his own costume Halloween costume this year out of recycled materials that he fabricated into his own style.
Besides her own costume, Brutvan makes costumes for Mason Drama Club and also makes Homecoming dresses as well as casual clothes. She said there is a significant difference between making costumes and everyday clothing.
"Costumes generally are a lot more elaborate," Brutvan said. "There's a lot of complicated things you have to do with them to get them to look the way they're supposed to versus clothingwhich is usually simple stitches and types of seams."
Simple clothing is a lot easier to make and is less time consuming for Brutvan. However, she prefers making costumes because they are so much more complex and she enjoys seeing all the pieces come together in the end.
"I prefer making costumes just because I think it's a lot more fun," Brutvan said. "You get a greater reward when you see it turn from a pile of fabric into a ballgown or a coat or whatever it is you're making."
From the first stitch to the final touches, Boucher is meticulous throughout the entire process. For him, the best part is when people take notice of his costume and the work he put into it.
"It feels amazing, just because it's nice to be able to create something with your bare hands that people actually really enjoy and appreciate," Boucher said. "And meeting people that are excited for the costume and want to take pictures with you–it's awesome."

"Find My iPhone" app helps save lives of 2 Minnesota boys
MINNEAPOLIS -- Investigators in central Minnesota say a smartphone app helped save the lives of two boys.
CBS Minnesota reports a man located his missing son on Sunday by using the "Find My iPhone" app. It led him to the Little Elk River near the town of Randall.
"The river is real slow," Chief Charles Strack of the Randall Police Deparment said. "It's a nice place to cool off."
That's exactly what two friends were doing Sunday at the Highway 115 bridge. But when one of the boys didn't show up for a family function that afternoon, his parents used smartphone technology to find out where he was, and it was lucky they did.
When the dad arrived, he found his son's 12-yeard-old friend unconscious, lying face down in the river. His 14-year-old son was also semi-responsive. He helped pull both boys to shore where first responders took over.
"For a dad or mom or anyone to locate a child like that is beyond belief, but he was still able to get him out and up the river bank," Strack said.
Both of the boys were rushed to a local hospital. The 14-year-old was treated and later released from the hospital. At this time, the 12-year-old remains hospitalized in satisfactory condition.
Strack believes things would have ended much differently had the boy's dad arrived even a couple of minutes later.
"Everything just worked out to save this kid's life," said Strack. He also credited first responders for playing an important role in the rescue.

There is nothing worse than expecting a payday check, and seeing that the IRS has garnished most, if not all of your money. This is truly one of the most painful things that can happen. Often the phone call to our office is made with a shaky voice and the meeting is often urgent and tear-filled! The problem with a levy is that whatever is left over for you to take home won't be enough for groceries, paying the rent, car payment or any other bills. The harsh reality about this is that this will continue until what is owed is completely paid (unless something is done to stop it!). And by law, your employer is required to take whatever the IRS demands when a wage garnishment is filed with them. They have no choice!
We deal with the IRS on a daily basis, and we can help negotiate an IRS wage garnishment release by offering an alternative solution that is more beneficial to you. Even a payment plan with the IRS will be more to your liking than the wage garnishment. If you qualify, an Offer In Compromise may be the salvation you've been praying for! There are other solutions too that can get a levy released. Having peace of mind that future checks won't be garnished will ease fears and reduce stress. If you want to talk about the options, give us a call. It doesn't cost anything to come in and talk with us about it.

Review: "The Umbrella Academy" (2019)
'Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice'
Elliot Hatch
Managing Editor and Game Reporter
FromSoftware has outdone themselves yet again with "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice." There are many parallels to draw between the Dark Souls and Bloodborne series from the same developer, but the game is not a carbon copy. FromSoftware copied the good from their Soulsborne series and vastly improved it.

tasty tuesday: mom's chocolate chip cookies
Jordyn and I definitely got our love for cooking and baking from our mom, and we are so blessed to have been encouraged to help in the kitchen from a young age. We were (and still are) always free to experiment in the kitchen, no matter how many mistakes or giant messes we make...and we are so thankful!
Now, this recipe is an absolute classic in our house....and there are almost always a few kicking around, whether it be in the cupboard, or in the freezer. Chocolate chip cookies are my dad's all-time favorite, which is the reason for their abundance!
This recipe is the brain child of our mom, who combined and modified 2 different recipes until she had her own creation that she was happy with!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups Butter (or margarine) - at room temperature!
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
2 tsp Baking Soda
4 1/2 cups Flour
2 heaping cups of Chocolate Chips
1) In a large bowl, mix together the butter and both sugars.
2) Add in your eggs and vanilla, and mix until nice and fluffy.
3) Gradually add in the flour and baking soda.
4) Stir in the chocolate chips.
5) Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet (using a silpat on your cookie sheet is best!).
6) Bake at 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes.
Jordyn and I love using a scoop when putting the dough onto our pan. It makes the job nice and easy, and helps keep the size your cookies uniform!
Another tip is to always pull your cookies out a little bit before you think they're done. Cookies tend to bake a little after you pull them out of the oven, and will set as they cool.
In my opinion, there are two ways to enjoy these cookies. Either warm out of the oven, or cold out of the freezer. I don't know why, but I'm a sucker for frozen cookies!
Now, go ahead and make these cookies! They taste like home, and are perfect when paired with a glass of milk.

For Four Days Only: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition is Free
4 Swords, 4 Free, 4 days only.
This came out of nowhere; absent from Nintendo's downloadable news today was the mention of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition's return to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. The offer began today, and lasts until 11:59pm PST on Saturday, February 2nd.
"Grab it while you can: when the offer ends," the website warns, as "it might be a while before you see the game again in Nintendo eShop."
This is indeed the case; much like the more arcade-accurate version of Donkey Kong on the Virtual Console, this appears to be a title Nintendo has little interest in keeping around for the long term. Previously, it was only available from September 28th, 2011 to February 20th, 2012 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise. This time, Nintendo says it's to celebrate the release of A Link Between Worlds.
Without delving into a full review, I do want to say this game is absolutely worth the download (and you can't beat the price). It's an enhanced port of the same Four Swords quest which was available with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Game Boy Advance, which required at least two people to play. Among the enhancements here are a new single-player mode and some additional "retro" themed levels based on the style of older series installments. So if you missed this the first (or second) time around, don't let this one pass you by!
In addition to this release, there is also today's arrival of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in the Wii U eShop, and Nintendo also says there will be a "special Art Academy SketchPad event in Miiverse".

The clothing factory collapse in Dhaka in April, and now a fire overnight which has killed 8 in the same city, once again raises huge concerns about the working conditions of overseas workers making clothing for Western markets.
Primark clothing labels were just one brand found amongst the rubble in the Dhaka collapse on 24th April, and the investigation which has followed clearly demonstrates that workers are still experiencing terrible conditions despite assurances from our biggest retailers that they carefully monitor all the suppliers of their stock.
But on Wednesday Bangladesh announced the closure of 18 garment factories over safety fears, reinforcing the belief that nothing much has changed.
What this disaster shows is that the welfare of workers abroad has once again lapsed. But how many of us believe company claims that they do monitor where their stock comes from? The price of the garment alone tells us that somewhere along the production chain someone is losing out and you can bet it isn't the UK retailer or the boss running the factories abroad.
Primark says it is going to compensate the families of people lost in the collapse, supply emergency food aid to families and support children who have lost their parents in the disaster. But this is hardly good enough. After all the protests and investigations of the last few years, this disaster should not have happened in the first place and Primark throwing money at it post disaster is little more than an insult. Long term it is not going to ease the lives of those people who have lost relatives and bread winners.
Pressure from customers and welfare groups is the only thing which is going to keep our retailers in check and make sure they don't slip into bad habits again. But as the recession continues to keep a tight grip on our purse strings, we have turned a blind eye and kept buying cheap imports without stopping to question the origin of our purchases.
Not only is this kind of cheap production allowing manufacturers abroad to continue treating their workers appallingly but it is also undermining ethical suppliers, retailers and our homegrown industry which does not use slave labour for profit and as a result is still struggling to survive.
These recent tragedies should be a timely reminder that nothing has changed and that it is the power of the spending public which will ultimately improve conditions. But I wonder whether anything will really change and how many more disasters we are going to witness before someone finally says enough really is enough.

Greetings Moonbow Friends!
Here's what I have been musing about lately….
November is here and it has arrived with the energy of new beginnings! I kicked off the month celebrating my 43rd cycle around the sun. I am excited for all the new opportunities and projects on the horizon, which include me starting the 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Yoga on High in Columbus, Ohio. In 1999, I graduated from the Ohio State University, so it seems fitting that 20 years later I am returning to Buckeye land to deepen my yogic studies so I may be of better service and care to my students and mySELF. In the sky, a new moon cycle is taking form today, and the timing is appropriate as this past weekend my 2018 Moonbow Yoga Teacher Training program came to an end. The 10 graduates are now boosted with lunar support, as they begin a new chapter in their lives and put into motion their authentic passions for teaching yoga.Read More

2016 Highlight Reel: Converse
Date: December 29 2016
By: Marfell
Going Modern
'Ruthless simplicity' is what Converse's VP of design and innovation, Brian Cioffi, said of their new Modern range. First used on their Chuck Taylor All Star, the upgrade was both momentous and minimal. We attended the global launch of the line in New York and upon its unveiling, immediate talk among the crowd centred around how the sneaker looked so different, yet so familiar.
This was due to materials being replaced by harmonious counterparts. Circular knit replaced a canvas upper allowing for more creative colour applications. Hyperfuse overlays were used in spaces once occupied by metal eyelets and heel patches. Micro-suede memory foam was used on the tongue, Phylon on the midsole and the whole silhouette was streamlined to align with contemporary tastes. The shoe Converse had created was a smorgasbord of subtle updates and sly Easter eggs.
The tenets of the Modern line have since spread to models like the Auckland, Jack Purcell and Thunderbolt – repurposing each for a new epoch of sneaker fans. In recreating a classic, the Modern upgrade also allowed Converse another win – their first HTM collaboration. Hiroshi, Tinker and Mark offered a premium version of the evolution built with goat leather in contrasting white and black.
Jack Purcell
The Jack Purcell signature was given so many reasons to smile in 2016 that we're counting it as a highlight on its own. After swerving on its intended purpose as a performance badminton sneaker, the shoe has found a following for its palatable proportions. In 2016 though, the Purcell became much more than cosmetically pleasing. Along with the Modern upgrade, the Purcell was souped up with Lunarlon and Zoom Air tech on different occasions. Meaning; though it's days of chasing shuttlecocks were behind it, it'd still fare well after an on-court thrashing. Shield Canvas, coated terry, quilting and leather also all made appearances on the sneaker.
Counter Climate
This year saw Converse tackle that persistent pain – wet feet. Launching the Counter Climate range, Converse coated the fabric on a range of sneakers with Durable Water Repellent – a substance engineered to be hydrophobic. To further bolster the shoes against inclement weather, medial eyelets were removed and a gusseted tongue was included to lure water away from your socks and out of the shoe. Brilliantly simple, simply brilliant.
Pro Leather Upgrade
Continuing their subtle approach to sneaker updates, Converse also gave their Pro Leather 76 a minor, but effective, renovation. Some 40 years after it conquered ball courts, the Pro Leather was reinvigorated with a 'Triple White' and 'Triple Black' pair pitched at 2016's sensibilities. Changes were minor – leather still abounded over their upper, but the application of which was executed in a way that simply wasn't possible back when the shoe was first produced.

Discover the RIGHT TREATMENT to STOP YOUR ADDICTION
We're all unique. We'll help you pick the best addiction treatment program for you.
Cocaine intoxication is caused by an extreme amount of cocaine being ingested. Cocaine is a stimulant drug that is illegal and it affects the central nervous system. It causes a sense of strong joy when the brain releases more than normal amounts of biochemicals. The effects of cocaine on other parts of your body may be very serious and can even cause death. Intoxication from cocaine use can be caused when someone takes too much cocaine or a form of cocaine that is too concentrated. This can happen if someone is taking cocaine on very hot days which can lead to more side effects and harm because of the dehydration of the body. Another cause can be taking cocaine when mixed with other drugs.
Cocaine Intoxication Symptoms
There are some symptoms with cocaine intoxication such as enlarged pupils, agitation, increased blood pressure and heart rate, and the feeling of being high. When the user takes higher doses confusion, tremors, seizures, sweating, hyperactivity, irregular heartbeat, stroke, and even death can occur. Some of the risk factors may include fluid in the lungs or bleeding into the lungs. There is treatment for cocaine; someone that has cocaine intoxication is many times always admitted into the hospital, usually on a heart monitoring unit.
The person with rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure most times will respond to treatment. Also, seizures can be treated with the same drugs.

That's 1,582 vehicles built each day for 86 years and 7 months.
Back in 1931 Mazda started out as an automaker when it began producing three-wheeled trucks in Hiroshima. 29-years later it entered the passenger car market with the R360 Coupe micro-mini. A plant in Hofu was added in 1982 and the Japanese production duties have since been split between the two factories. On the May 15, the 50-millionth vehicle was made. Mazda project that they will sell 1.66 million cars this year with plans to establish a global production framework capable of producing 2 million units annually by 2024.
Speaking at the commemorative ceremony, company CEO Masamichi Kogai said,"Moving forward, Mazda will continue to build a strong brand through a variety of initiatives. Our plants in Hofu and Hiroshima will continue to evolve and act as parent factories, rapidly deploying their technologies and skills to our overseas plants. I'd like us all to work together to ensure these plants continue to embody the kind of technical prowess that does justice to Japan's proud history of Monotsukuri." That term refers to the process of reviewing the vehicle manufacturing from scratch and improving and optimizing processes where needed.
Such dedication to constant improvement has resulted in a framework that can respond quickly to changes in demand as well as allow for production of different models on a single line in various volumes. This has been hailed as a breakthrough in the tradeoff that occurs between product variety, competitiveness and volume efficiency. Looking forward, Mazda aspires to create a world where cars and people can co-exist sustainably and become a brand that customers can develop a strong emotional bond with. We say an updated twin-turbo RX7-style sports car could achieve just that.

This piece was designed in two halves and then pieced back together with a quarterinch gap in between. This allows the light source to shine through. The inside is painted with a yellow paint to give a brighter light, and the edges of the buildings are painted black to allow the negative space. The bulb is attached to a plate on the bottom with is detachable from the top half. They stay attached because of the grooves that i carved in the plate to keep it fitting snug.

"Hangar of the future" getting closer to enhance aircraft maintenance
Related Articles
Airbus will showcase its "Hangar of the Future" (HoF) at the Singapore Air Show. HoF is a project to digitise and automate maintenance activities to increase the overall maintenance process efficiency. HoF combines the use of innovative technologies and smart, IoT (internet of Things)-connected equipment such as 'cobots' (collaborative robots), drones, scanners, cameras, non-destructive sensors, with aircraft technical documentation and aircraft in-service data collated through Airbus' open data platform, Skywise. Based on data analytics, Skywise-based applications will predict the required maintenance tasks for a given aircraft and optimise maintenance planning and maintenance task execution in order to minimize aircraft on ground time. Following HoF's initial unveiling in 2016, Airbus affirmed the project in March 2017 with the Temasek Polytechnic education institution in Singapore, and is co-funded by the Singapore Economic Development Board and by Airbus.

Tips For Purchasing Personalized Water Bottle Labels
Personalized water bottle labels are a great way to turn a normal bottle of water into an advertisement for your company or a fun beverage for a party or wedding. It is much more cost-effective to order personalized water bottle labels and then apply them to bottles of water than ordering custom water bottles due to the cost of shipping heavy cases of water. If you are in need of personalized water bottle labels, use the following tips when ordering:
Purchase Bottles of Water First
Don't make the mistake of ordering personalized water bottle labels before you purchase the bottles of water that they will be placed on. Bottles of water come in containers of different sizes and shapes. You need to know the measurements of a water bottle before you can properly order your personalized water bottle labels. Go to the store and purchase at least one case of bottled water before you begin the ordering process for your personalized labels.
Take Measurements
After you decide what bottles of water you will be using, you will need to take a couple of measurements. You will need to measure the label panel height on the bottle of water and then measure the circumference of the bottle. Once you have these measurements, you can contact a company that makes personalized water bottle labels; when you give them the measurements, they will be able to calculate what size labels you need for the water bottles that you are using.
Look for Quality Products
When it comes to buying personalized water bottle labels, it is important to buy quality products. Make sure that you select water bottle labels that are waterproof, not water-resistant. This will ensure that you can place the water bottles in ice to keep them cold without the labels ripping. You also want to make sure that the company making the labels uses a commercial press, not an inkjet printer; water labels made with a commercial press will have better clarity and the ink won't run.
Buy in Bulk
If you are using the personalized water bottle labels to help advertise your business, it is in your best interest to place a bulk order. Ordering in bulk drives down the cost of each label, and in the long run, you can save a lot of money if you have a continual need for personalized water bottles or are handing out the water bottles at a very large event.

BY AMMAR KHALID, HELENA MOLINA, SUSANNAH HORTON and PATTEERA MAE CHALADMANAKUL
Ammar Khalid, Helena Molina, Susannah Horton, and Patteera Mae Chaladmanakul are second-year International Development students who recently traveled to the Philippines, to gain a deeper knowledge of possible financing models for youth entrepreneurs. Throughout the year, the team conducted a global stocktaking on successful models for financing young entrepreneurs. The forthcoming report will be published jointly by the IFC's SME Finance Forum and the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion.
The IDEV Practicum allows students to work directly with public, private and non-governmental organizations as a capstone to their graduate studies. The IDEV Practicum Blog is a six-part series that chronicles the travels of IDEV students who take on client projects over winter break.
On a cloudy day in Manila back in January, we met Alex, co-founder of Akaba, a Filipino social enterprise that sells high-quality travel bags featuring handwoven textiles sourced from traditional weaving communities across the Philippines. Akaba was founded four years ago. In the context of our practicum project – a global stocktaking on models for financing youth entrepreneurs – we were interested to learn how he and his two equally youthful co-founders financed their enterprise.
Our connection with Alex (one of the case studies for our practicum project) began with BPI Sinag – an accelerator and business competition run by the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). In 2016, Akaba won a grant at the end of the second round of BPI Sinag. However, despite winning and subsequently experiencing substantial growth, his enterprise failed to qualify for a loan, even with BPI. Eager to expand his business, Alex explained that he had exhausted all his local financing options and asked us for any financing leads. His predicament is telling of the broader financing landscape for young entrepreneurs, not just in the Philippines, but globally.
A crisis in youth unemployment is brewing. Young people, when compared with the non-youth population, are up to three times as likely to be unemployed. For entrepreneurship to hold any promise of mitigating this crisis, young entrepreneurs need to overcome barriers to starting and scaling businesses. Chief among these barriers is lack of access to finance.
Our Practicum team was tasked by the IFC's SME Finance Forum to conduct a global stocktaking of successful models for financing young entrepreneurs to inform improved design of future youth financing programs and policies. During the Fall semester, our team conducted phone interviews to develop 35 case studies from around the world. These case studies were then used as a basis to analyze trends and formulate policy recommendations with regards to youth financing schemes.
The case studies show that young entrepreneurs can, in fact, be catered to in a financially and socially sustainable manner despite their lack of credit histories and the physical assets necessary for collateral. The key lies with providing not just financing for young entrepreneurs – though alternative credit scoring and milestone-based financing are innovative ways of reaching young clients – but also integrating this with non-financial services such as mentorship. The incorporation of financial technology (FinTech) has also resulted in reduced administrative costs and thus made servicing young clients feasible.
To complement our findings from the case studies, our team visited the Philippines during the winter break with the goal of mapping the broader entrepreneurship ecosystem in the country. We met with individuals from various sectors including the government, academia, commercial banks, FinTech startups, as well as young entrepreneurs. Themes that emerged during our interviews resonated greatly with those in the case studies. Youth are not encouraged to risk pursuing entrepreneurship… youth cannot access capital without collateral… youth lack the technical and financial support to successfully scale a business…
Senator Bam Aquino, a former social entrepreneur and now leading political figure who has been instrumental in drafting policies promoting youth entrepreneurship in the Philippines, told us that he envisions a central role for the government in promoting young entrepreneurs. He talked of an 'adventure fund' for young entrepreneurs, reasoning that 'some amount of free money is needed' initially, before the private sector takes the reins.
During our conversation with Rico Gonzalez, who founded xChange, an incubator for early-stage social enterprises, and Joan Yao, Vice President of KickStart, the country's leading venture capital firm, a similar chord was struck. Since the Philippine economy features great income inequality and is dominated by a small set of elites – according to Rico, "every problem can be solved with three phone calls, but you need to know who to call and who should make the call" – the Philippines does not have enough players in the ecosystem to diversify funding sources. Remember, only four years in, Alex of Akaba felt he had already exhausted Philippines-based funding sources. In this case, incremental youth-centric efforts by the private sector, encouraged by the government, may be what the country needs most to break away from their undesirable status quo.
As our team finalizes the global stocktaking report, we hope that lessons learned and recommendations based on our extensive collection of case studies will allow governments, as well as relevant key stakeholders, to be informed and to implement different ways to improving youth financing. With more youth-focused financing programs in place, young entrepreneurs, like Alex, will have improved access to financing and higher probabilities of starting and sustaining their own businesses.

As Democrats continue to claim that the border doesn't need a wall, the residents of Encino, which has a population of 143 is pleading for a wall, in order to protect their citizens and families! The residents are warning authorities that Cartel members have been riding across the border and terrorizing the local families and town!
KVEO-TV revealed that the Texas town of Encino is located on a major smuggling route between McAllen and Falfurrias, are being terrorized by cartel members and at the same time are seeing a massive influx of migrants abandoned by smugglers. They also talked to one of the town's residents who described the terror her family and neighbors go through, as they begged for a border wall to be built.
KVEO reported that…
An Encino, TX resident says she lives in fear every day. She sees hundreds of undocumented immigrants attempting to enter her property, adding she feels threatened by criminal organizations surrounding the area.
"12 young men dressed in black. My husband automatically stopped and they just put a finger to their lips and it's like… You better not say anything, they know what we drive, they know where we live."
"Soila", who did not want to show her face for security reasons, says County Road 304 in Encino, which is only 7 miles away from the Falfurrias checkpoint is used by cartel members to smuggle drugs and people.
"There was a young man, he kept telling him [husband] to stop right at the gate, he kept coming. My husband clocked the gun and right on his left-hand side, 12-15 more people pop out, they were trying to get in towards the house."
…"Soila" adds a wall is needed to protect U.S. Citizens.
"Whoever tells you there is no danger out here and we don't need the wall, they have no idea what they're talking about. They don't care as long as the businesses keep thriving in McAllen or Brownsville."
She says everyone in her neighborhood is terrified when they call on the Border Patrol due to threats they receive by drug smugglers.
The Gateway Pundit had previously reported that Comstock, Texas Public Schools were forced to go into lockdown not once, but twice, illegal aliens crossed through school property!
Also, just last week, the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Officer's arrested 400 illegal aliens in a matter of just five minutes in a stretch, just a few miles wide! It occurred along the El Paso sector of the US/Mexico border.
Even more concerning, is the fact that the CBP Officers came across the first group around 2:45 in the morning next to a United States Public School known as Bowie High School! Within a few minutes, another group of CBP Officers stopped another 252 illegals, west of where the found the first group!
In total, the Border Patrol took into custody more than 430 illegal aliens, yet CBP says it is just…
"another busy day for the El Paso Sector Border Patrol."
The CBP went on to state that…
"In the last 30 days, the U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector is averaging 570 apprehensions a day, with 90 percent of those being in the El Paso Metropolitan Area. These numbers continue to stretch the resources available to the U.S. Border Patrol to deal with this influx and the challenges that come with it."
Sadly, since October 1, 2018, the Customs and Border Protection revealed that there has been a 1,689% increase in the number of Family Unit Aliens apprehended in the sector. In fact, just in February alone, the agents apprehended 13,744 migrants including 10,509 family units and 1,517 unaccompanied minors.
In total, CBP throughout the Southwest Sector of the border, have apprehended 268,000 migrants, 136,150 family units, and 26,937 unaccompanied minors. Since the Democrats pushed for and passed, along with a large percentage of RINO Republicans, laws which force the President and his Administration to allow family units to stay inside the United States border, it has led to an increase in family unit apprehensions by more than 200%. After all, it is a "get out of jail free card", and a "stay in the United States free card", so long as illegals come into the United States, despite a large number of the family units having kidnapped the children, and trafficking them over the border, so they can be used as a "stay in America" pass!
Add on the financial cost and burden to the American taxpayer, and the problem is growing exponentially! In fact, the IRLI (Immigration Reform Law Institute) and the World Bank Group found that the cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayers exceeds more than $168 Billion a year, and appears to be skyrocketing, especially with the massive numbers of not just people, but caravans forming in 2018, as they barreled towards the US border. Furthermore, it is a trend that is likely to accelerate in the coming months and years.
Also, the study found that the taxes paid by Americans throughout each state and the nation fall short of the cost of illegal immigration on federal, state, and local governments…
- The staggering total costs of illegal immigrants and their children outweigh the taxes paid to federal and state governments by a ratio of roughly 7 to 1, with costs at nearly $135 billion compared to tax revenues at nearly $19 billion.
- All told, the nearly $135 billion paid out by federal and state and local taxpayers to cover the cost of the presence of 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children amounts to approximately $8,075 per illegal alien and citizen child prior to taxes paid, or $6,940 per person after taxes are paid.
- On the federal level, medical ($17.14 billion) is by far the highest cost, with law enforcement coming second ($13.15 billion) and general government services ($8 billion) third.
- At the state and local level, education ($44.4 billion) was by far the largest expense, followed by general public services ($18.5 billion) and medical ($12.1 billion).
- The study also includes cost and tax revenue estimates per state. The top three states based on total cost to state taxpayers for illegal immigrants and their children: California ($23 billion); Texas ($10.9 billion), and New York ($7.5 billion).
Over the past few months, Democrats and even the Mainstream Media have claimed that there is not a "national emergency" at America's southern border! In fact, as President Trump announced in the 2019 State of the Union Speech, the New York Times called the President a "liar", and declared that there isn't a "crisis" at the border! Then, one after another, media outlet after media outlet, each attacked his declaration as preposterous, and ridiculed his efforts as a ridiculous!
However, now just a month and a half later, America has a record number of illegals crossing the border, including mostly illegal alien men, but women and children as well! Furthermore, it has strapped the American border patrol and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the breaking point! Today, even the New York Times is reporting that America's border with Mexico is at a "breaking point."
The Times reported that…
"For the fourth time in five months, the number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has broken records, border enforcement authorities said Tuesday, warning that government facilities are full and agents are overwhelmed"
They continued…
"The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly doubling what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration's aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration to the United States. More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year high and a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty."
"The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point," Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in announcing the new data.
Meanwhile, National Public Radio (NPR) admitted that America has a crisis on the border, as they proclaimed that…
"Migrant Families Arrive In Busloads As Border Crossings Hit 10-Year High. The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended more than 66,000 migrants at the Southern border in February, the highest total for a single month in almost a decade."
"Between October and last week, Border Patrol agents have picked up more than 260,000 people — a 90 percent jump over the same period a year ago."
Meanwhile, the radically left-wing Socialist Washington Post reported the same crisis at our border, as they proclaimed that…
"Family migration pushes unauthorized crossings to highest levels in a decade. The number of people taken into custody along the Mexico border jumped an additional 31 percent last month as an unprecedented mass migration of families from Central America pushes unauthorized crossings to the highest levels in a decade, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures released Tuesday.
Last month, the shortest of the year, was the busiest February at the border since 2007, officials said, with authorities detaining 76,103 migrants, up from 58,207 in January. The percentage of migrants who arrived as part of a family group also reached a new peak, with 40,325 parents and children taken into custody, a 67 percent leap from the previous month.
However, throughout the Mainstream Media, they all fail to note that it was the Democrats who set up the crisis, as they offered incentives for illegals to come to the United States, as they offer them free food, free shelter, free medical care, and with no requirements or stipulations! Furthermore, they offer them chain migration opportunities, so if one person in their family gets across the border, it makes it easier for anyone, including distant relatives to remain in the United States, and to live off of the generosity of the American taxpayers! In addition, they also fail to note that the Democrats pushed through and were able to make it to where illegals can stay in America, so long as they come across with a child. Therefore, it has caused child kidnapping and trafficking and child endangerment to reach all-time-highs!
For example, the New York Times even glorified the Democrats plan to offer medical care for the migrants, spotlighted pleas for aid by pro-migration groups, and only briefly mentioned the incentives being offered to the migrants by Congress and the courts. Sadly, the Commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, Mr. McAleenan said that because of the Democrat language in their new immigration laws…
"Crossing with a child is a guarantee of a speedy release and an indefinite release into the United States."
Also, the Democrats and the Mainstream Media not only REFUSED TO REPORT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CRISIS ON THE BORDER, BUT THEY MAGNIFIED IT, AS THEY IGNORED THE FACTS FOR POLITICAL GAINS!
Then, although the Washington Post failed to give the President credit for the nations vibrant and growing economy, they did point out that the booming economy was a huge attraction for illegal aliens to come to the United States, in search of jobs. They said…
An attractive job market in the United States is prompting more Central Americans to leave the poverty and insecurity of their home countries and head north, typically in groups of one parent and one child. Such pairings all but ensure the family will be processed quickly and released from U.S. custody in a matter of days.
Therefore, why the sudden change of heart for the Mainstream Media? Actually, it is not in support of the Presidents agenda, or his efforts to secure the border! Instead, it is because they needed to destroy the President, and brand him a liar! That way it allowed the Democrats to deny him the resources that he needed to do his job, and declare his Presidency an utter failure!
Now, as their actions have allowed the border crisis to deepen, they are using it as an opportunity to blame President Trump! They are using it as a means to declare that he has failed to honor his central 2016 campaign promise and demand that the American people remove him from office, so their Party can take over to fix the immigration problem! NOT THAT THEY WOULD! After all, illegal aliens are the most valuable commodity for the Democrats, because if they can't win elections with true American voters, they desperately need the illegal aliens to be imported, and as a result, giving them a new pool of voters who are dependent on the government, and will therefore gladly submit to the Marxist ideology and state!
