RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil football fans are more excited by the country's young Olympic team than with the squad playing now at Copa America Centenario in the United States.
One reason is that Barcelona star Neymar will be playing in the Olympics. He's not in the Copa America.
But the main reason is 19-year-old Gabriel Jesus, a striker at Sao Paulo club Palmeiras, who may wind up being the star in the Olympics as Brazil shoots for its first soccer gold medal.
He's also absent from the Copa.
In the Olympics, where squads are only allowed three players aged over 23, Jesus is expected to play alongside the country's other upcoming star Gabriel Barbosa — nicknamed Gabigol — and Neymar.
"To play with Neymar at the Olympics will be another dream come true," Jesus told The Associated Press. "He is a mirror to all of us. If I ever play with him, it would be great for my career. I hope to win gold with him on my side and make history with him wearing the Brazil shirt."
Brazil coach Dunga, who handles both the Copa America and Olympic team, wanted Jesus for the Copa America, but the youngster didn't have the documents to travel. He could have replaced Bayern Munich's Douglas Costa, Brazil's injured goal-scoring winger.
Brazil played a lackluster 0-0 draw against Ecuador in its opening match in the Copa America, and faces Haiti on Wednesday in its second match in Group B.
That Jesus didn't have documents to travel is a surprise for a player already drawing interest from giants like Juventus and Arsenal and others. But he says he isn't thinking of moving overseas yet.
"I only want to think about Palmeiras now, they gave me everything and I want to become a reference here," he said. "But playing in Europe is surely in my plans. I have no preference for a specific country or a club."
Website Transfermarkt ranked Jesus as one of the top young players in Brazil, valued at 8 million euros. Palmeiras officials have expressed concern about losing their young star as soon as the Olympic Games are finished.
Since January, Jesus has scored 12 goals, including three in the first six rounds of the Brazilian Championship.
The striker has also enhanced his defensive role, according to his Palmeiras coach Alexi Stival, known as Cuca.
"He still has a lot to mature, but Gabriel is undoubtedly a gem," Cuca said.
Two-time world Cup winner and three-time FIFA world player of the year Ronaldo also has high hopes for Jesus and Brazil.
"I am betting on two great talents that are still developing but already show a lot of skill: Santos' Gabigol and Palmeiras' Gabriel Jesus. And they haven't even turned 20 yet," Ronaldo said.

HP ZBook 15 G3 Mobile Workstation - V2W10UT#ABA
Best Mobile Workstation
Expert Review
There are some great components in this mobile workstation, starting with 16GB of DDR4 memory, which keeps it running nice and fast even while working with some pretty demanding software. You also get an NVIDIA chip with 2GB of dedicated DDR5 video memory so it runs beautifully and helps the system look great, though the 15-inch display is a bit smaller than it really should be (and probably the sole weakness of this laptop). The Intel i7 processor is fast and this system includes a 512GB solid state drive, giving you a great amount of storage that ensures programs to run quickly and reliably. This mobile workstation supports Wireless-AC, Bluetooth 4.0, and includes three USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt port, and even has an integrated HD webcam. It's a great choice overall, and you can pick this one up at a very reasonable price, but it is certainly not the most powerful mobile workstation on the market.

We're ecstatic!!! THANKS so much to everyone who backed #FundTheBus! But there's still four days left! If we reach our new stretch goal, you'll make our mobile market even cooler with:
- 2 cold storage units to keep our fresh produce even fresher!
- Plus! If we reach our stretch goal we'll stock a ton of free ready to eat healthy meal kits on our "LSG Quick Dinner Shelf" for low income shoppers: Talk about healthy eating made easy!
Hey friends - We're Lowcountry Street Grocery, a mission-driven mobile farmers' market here in Charleston, S.C. Our goal is to make the farmers' market more convenient for all, and more accessible for those living in areas without regular access to affordable fresh & healthy food!
Lowcountry Street Grocery is a mission-driven, mobile farmers' market designed to make healthy, local food affordable and accessible. Our mobile market will travel across the Lowcountry, bringing farm-fresh produce directly to your neighborhood, school, community center or place of business! Our business model is firmly grounded in a mission to:
We'll sustain this mission by way of a hybrid, profit-generating business model - Our mobile market will reinvest the revenue we generate in order to provide:
We will transform and style-out an old school bus, making it both functional and inviting. Our mobile market will have the unique ability to drive a two-aisle indoor/outdoor farmers' market to any road-navigable location in the Lowcountry. When set up for shopping, fresh, local produce will adorn farm crates that "rack up" on the side of the bus. Meats, farm eggs, dairy, breads, frozen & canned goods, meal kits, artwork, and local artisan specialties will flank the interior of the bus. When in motion, the wooden produce rack will fold up, becoming and tasteful venue for sponsorship and advertising.
Just like a food truck, our point-of-sale terminal aboard the bus will accept cash and credit, with the addition of SNAP/EBT. Realizing that our success goes beyond a simple point-of-sale vehicle, the bus will also be equipped with nutritional education components, mobile gardens, a neighborhood delivery bicycle, and a gathering spot to eat and hang out. Hearkening back to a simpler time, the bus will surely be a welcome sight in your neighborhood or office parking lot. Imagine the sense of satisfaction that will come from shopping for dinner on this guy, and knowing that sales will be reinvested into areas of need - Yes Please!
*Provided in partnership with MUSC Children's Health, Lowcountry Food Bank, Slow Food Charleston, and Whole Foods Market
A little something for everyone! We have devised a way to reward your support that inherently resembles our business model and gives you a taste of the services and products that LSG has to offer. For many, you'll notice that getting what you want empowers you to pay it forward for someone else!

Risks and challenges
We know this won't be easy. Addressing a community problem like food insecurity requires a community solution. That's why we've spent the last year building partnerships all across the Lowcountry—with nonprofit and community organizations, schools, city officials, and local restaurants—that will support us as allies in carrying out our mission. These partners will help us develop and implement nutrition education programming, offer financial stability as we continue to gain ground, and provide entry points into our target markets. Perhaps most importantly, we will rely on our community partners to serve as bus stops in our initial bus routes—ensuring high customer volume and a positive reception on the part of the communities we aim to serve.
As a social business venture, we know that we will be subject to all the common challenges facing start-ups—garnering and expanding a customer base, promoting our brand, etc. We also know ours is an idea that everyone has a stake in supporting—local farms and producers are supported, customers get the goods they want in a convenient and fun way, and best of all, our underserved communities are included. We feel confident that the Charleston community is one that is primed to embrace our model and mission, and that we've reached a tipping point of awareness, willingness and support for initiatives such as this, making NOW the perfect time to launch.
The growing and selling of produce, by nature (get it!), is a highly volatile venture. Seasons change, weather turns ugly, and crops sometimes fail. We hope that our mobile market approach will offer a responsive and flexible outlet for the members of our farmers' coop, as well as for our own farms—one that is able to quickly respond to changes in supply and demand to best maximize production capabilities as they change. We have surrounded ourselves with long-term veterans in the farming world, as well as many other small, young, and beginning farmers with whom we constantly share lessons learned and best practices.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

This article first appeared in Aviation Week & Space Technology.
A swath of Asia-Pacific states is in the throes of revamping their fighter inventories. As a result, Western and Russian manufacturers are either wrestling to sustain market share or vying with rival fighter builders in traditional client markets.
The fighter activity is but one element of broader defense procurement occurring across the region as militarily significant states recapitalize their inventories. Despite the impact of the global economic downturn, many markets are showing resilience. What's more, while growth rates have flattened in many cases, actual decline has been avoided. There is budget pressure, but this factor has been less than in other markets, industry officials suggest.
All of the region's top five military spenders either are introducing new fighter types into inventory or are in the midst of competitive procurement. Japan, South Korea and India are at varying stages of purchasing additional combat aircraft. Australia is introducing the Boeing F/A-18E/F into service -- and is committing to the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter -- while China is developing upgrades of both indigenous and Russian fighters, and also working on a twin-engine follow-on.
The Flanker family remains a key regional benchmark for fighter capability as the "threat" system against which potential purchases are to be measured. If the region grows more important for Western manufacturers seeking to bolster order books thinned from falling domestic production numbers (JSF aside), it is also critical to Moscow.
The latest, and possibly final, iteration of the Flanker, the Su-35S, is in no small part aimed at trying to sustain Russia's position as a combat aircraft provider in the region. Two of its traditional clients , China and India, are developing their own combat aircraft manufacturing capacity; India is also potentially expanding procurement from the West. The Su-35S will likely be pitched as a replacement for earlier Flanker models in the inventories of India, but whether it is proposed to China remains in doubt.
Read the rest of this story, ponder the similarity between the Army's GCV and Goldman Sachs, check the progress of the JSF program and examine the crucial demand for rotorcraft from our friends at Aviation Week, exclusively on Military.com.

Cleansing grains are usually made from herbs, oats, nuts or clay in a powdered form and provide an exfoliating cleanse to the face. We've discussed the importance of exfoliation, both physical and chemical here. Cleansing grains would fall in the physical category, helping slough off dead skin cells, removing build up in the pores and rejuvenating the skin.
If you plan on using cleansing grains daily you will want to make sure the grains are finely powdered so that daily exfoliation doesn't become irritating. All of these cleansing grains can be prepared ahead of time and kept in an airtight container. Just sprinkle out 1/2 to 1 teaspoon for each use.
All Skin Types
Ground oats can be a wonderful and simple cleansing grain. Add a pinch of finely ground oats or oatmeal to oil or water, creating a paste and then massaging in small, circular motions. Rinse with warm water.
Dry Skin
Powdered coconut milk will soften skin, and can easily be combined with wheat germ oil, which is a highly nutritious cleansing combination for dry skin. Rinse with warm water when finished.
Oily/Acne Prone Skin Skin
Powdered honey is both antibacterial and clearing for acne prone or oily skin types. Using the powdered honey, preferably raw Manuka honey, which is very healing in it's properties, add to a damp face and concentrate on the t-zone areas of your face. Rinse with warm water.
Sensitive Skin
You can add ground chamomile to any of the above recipes to treat sensitive skin. The easiest way to find accessible chamomile is from an organic teabag. Grind the contents of an emptied tea bag with a coffee grinder and add it to an above ingredient. Keep sealed until use.

Turns out there's a short hand phrase for the over the handlebars forward somersault I did twice a couple days ago… Endo! I'm pretty sure mine were quite graceful, with the front wheel sinking into a sand pocket, stopping the bike abruptly, and all 6'6″ of me taking off over the front bars, head tucked, lightly landing on helmet and right shoulder before completing the roll onto the right side. Once wasn't enough for me… I repeated the move again about 15 minutes later.
I was about 5 miles north of Savery WY. with four other riders just ahead, on a long descent. I missed that the road had sand pockets until it was too late. Might have been this stretch of road…
The super short version is that the people associated with the Savery Museum are amazing, I was checked out by EMTs at the museum, I received a ride to Steamboat Springs, about 90 miles, spent from 10pm – 4pm at the hospital, and have a cracked rib and lacerated kidney. Both are expected to heal but I'm pretty sore for now.
The ride is over and I'm making my way to Tucson. My bike is more or less fine, with some front end repair needed.
I know from experience that often the story is remembered by the simple unexpected or dramatic ending, like when I got sick when Griff and I were riding the Divide in 2012. This trip I had a very compelling story present itself to me during an extraordinarily challenging day. I've been moving pretty fast the last few days and I haven't written it up yet. My sense is that it's more of a keynote address than a trip highlight. Anyway, I'll be working on it…working title: Union Pass alternative route, grappling with disruptive change, mud, snow and extreme vertical ascent. (emphasis on «working«) with a possible sub title: Be careful about what you measure. (or some such gripping line abiut the risks of relying on a few standard measurements).
I'll circle back around and write a few notes of appreciation for the riders I had the privilege to ride with since Polaris… Rick, Marty, Bobby, Jerry, Phillipe and Massimo. What a pleasure it was!
Keep on pedaling,

Empty Cart?Find Your Rolex
May 25, 2017
BY Paul Altieri
Nothing marks an achievement quite like a Rolex watch. And graduation is one of the most important milestones for a young adult. So, if you have a soon-to-be graduate in your life, consider gifting them a Rolex watch to commemorate the occasion. Not only is a Rolex a very special gift that will bring tremendous joy when received, it's one that will continue to be cherished for a long time to come. Built with only the best materials and powered by in-house automatic movements, these are exceptional watches to celebrate an exceptional moment.
Let's take a look at a pair of Rolex watches that would make for fantastic graduation gifts.
If you think a dressier Rolex watch would suit the graduate best, then look no further than a Datejust. But not just any Rolex Datejust, but rather the Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird" watch. This particular Datejust ref. 116264 was a reissue of a vintage Rolex from the 1950s.
The 1950s Turn-O-Graph was nicknamed the "Thunderbird" because it was the official watch of the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbird aerobatic squadron. The modern day Turn-O-Graph is ideal for a young adult. It features a very wearable 36mm Oyster case in stainless steel along with an 18k white gold bezel. Additionally, the rotating fluted bezel is marked with numerals for a sporty touch. Further emphasizing the sporty appeal is the stainless steel Oyster bracelet, as well as, the red details on the white dial.
A Datejust that's very different to more traditional references, the Turn-O-Graph "Thunderbird" ref.116264 is one that beautifully balances both dressy and sporty elements.
If you'd rather gift a Rolex sports watch, then nothing beats the quintessential luxury diver's watch: the Submariner. And the Submariner no-date ref. 114060 is perfect for a young adult. As its name suggests, the ref. 114060 does not include a date window, therefore offers a flawlessly symmetrical face.
As the most current version of the no-date Submariner, the 40mm Oyster case comes with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Prized for its look and robustness, Cerachrom has a gorgeous sheen that will not fade—even after prolonged sun exposure. Plus, ceramic is also resistant to scratching, making this Submariner the ideal everyday watch.
This being a diver's watch, the Submariner is water resistant to 330 feet and has fantastic blue lume in the dark. Additionally, the Glidelock system on the Oyster bracelet allows the band to be extended should it need to fit over a diving suit, but you don't have to be a scuba diver to rock this timepiece on your wrist.
A graduate deserves a grown-up watch and a Rolex is an ultimate companion for life's next chapter. Whether you opt for a dressier or sportier one, your Rolex graduation gift offers just the right amount of pomp and circumstance.

I wasn't sure what I'd think about the changes, but I've found that it's basically like seeing a good friend with a new hairdo - still the same in all the way it counts but just looks a bit different. Prue isn't Mary, but she's good. I'm not as fond of Sandi as I was Mel and Sue, but Joel is a delight. I think they were very smart by making as few changes as possible and I hope fans of the old cast will give this bunch a chance.
I have a real problem with the way the eliminations are being handled. Since they're only doing eliminations every other week - and are getting rid of two people on the elimination weeks - the contestants on the non-elimination weeks get a big, and seriously unfair, advantage.
Here's what happening (I'm going to use made up contestant names to avoid any spoilers)
Week 1 "Debbie, " "Daniel" and "Davey" are the three lowest scoring contestants of the week. If this were a normal week during a normal season, one of them would be leaving, but because of the special format this season, all three get to stay, giving them all a chance to do better the next week.
Week 2 Debbie, Daniel and Davey are able to make great use of their close call from the week before, do a much better job and win their face-to-face battles, so all three are get to stay. "Nancy" and "Noah," however, both dropped the ball and are both eliminated. Unlike Debbie, Daniel and Davey, neither of them gets a chance to come back the next week to try to redeem themselves and avoid elimination. They're just gone.
Week 3 and 4 the cycle repeats. Whomever would have been this week 3's loser basically gets a do-over, while the two lowest scorers for week 4 don't.
What I think would be much more fair would be to announce at the end of the non-elimination week who the two lowest scorers for the week are. Then, during the elimination week episode have them be one of the battling pairs. The loser of that battle goes home, as doeswhomever is the overall loser of all the other battles.
For example:
Week 1 Debbie and Davey have the lowest scores. In a normal season, that would be it for one of them, but because of the special format both get to compete next week.
Week 2 Debbie and Davey are paired in one of the face-to-face battles and whichever one loses that battle goes home. The other battling pairs are matched up however they're doing it that episode. Out of those pairs, it's determined that Nancy was the weakest, so she also goes home.
That way, at least one of the two weakest players from week one will be sent home. It's not perfect, but it would be a lot better.
Simply epic. It works as a sci-fi adventure tale, a brilliant comedy (that doesn't rely on bathroom jokes or "humorous" stereotypes) and as a love letter to sci-fi fans. It's a genuine treat and holds up to repeated viewings even nearly 20 years after it was released.
This is a fun way to spend some time. I was expecting certain spy/thriller movie couches to kick in, but for the most part the show nicely avoided them.

Dear Mum,
I've always thought that if you have a hob with four gas or electric rings, and the control knobs are up the right hand side, that there's a perfectly logical order for them. The first one should be the front left; then front right; then back right; then back left. So you start front left and just go round in an anti-clockwise direction. But different manufacturers all seem to have different ideas on the subject.
And when I say 'the first one', by that I mean the first one as you stand in front of it, i.e. starting at the bottom in the photo, just so there's no confusion!
The place where I was living in the UK ten years ago had exactly the layout I've just described. Perfect. But when I moved in 2002, the layout started front right and went round in a clockwise direction. Confused the hell out of me! Not one of them was in the right, logical place. I was forever turning on the wrong ring. And being electric (the hob, not me!), I'd often turn on a ring to heat up, leave something on top of it, and come back five minutes later to find the one next to it glowing red. Even after four years, I rarely got it right first time.
Here in my little apartment in Cyprus, I have yet another configuration to get my head round. It starts front right; then front left; then it goes back left; and finally back right. It drives me mad every day. Once again, not one of them is in the right place.
The difference here of course is that I'm using gas, so getting it wrong is slightly more serious than turning on the wrong electric ring, but at least you don't have to wait as long to find out.
For some reason, only one of the automatic igniters seems to work, so I have to use matches to light them. I can regularly be seen holding a match to a gas ring until it burns down to my fingers, while gas is pouring out of the ring next to it. One day there'll be a big bang, and it'll all be over, and I won't have to worry about it any more. But until that day, there's little chance that I'll ever get it right. My brain is programmed for the only logical sequence that's ever made any sense to me.
Maybe I should buy some longer matches! Or a proper gas lighter like the one in this picture. I saw the exact same one by the checkout in a shop the other day, although the one I saw was in colour! (ironically enough whilst purchasing a packet of HobNobs amongst other things). I thought to myself at the time, 'I must get one of those one day, innit'. Why I procrastinated about it is a bit of a mystery.
So am I alone in this? In thinking that there's a correct and logical progression for the hob knobs? Clearly there's at least one manufacturer that agrees with me. But for the life of me I can't come up with a valid, reasoned argument as to why my logical sequence should make any more sense than any other. I mean, it makes perfect sense to me, and the more I think about it the more logical and right it seems to be. I just can't tell you why.
Finally, as I sit here writing to you, sipping at a cup of coffee accompanied by a couple of the aforementioned HobNobs, I was wondering, do they make hobs with knobs up the left hand side for left-handed people? And if so, do the knobs follow the same sequence as the right-handed version, or is it reversed?
Goodness only knows life must be difficult enough for left-handers in a right-handed world without having to reach across red hot pots to adjust hob knobs with their left hand. And I had a quick peek in a dictionary of synonyms to see if there was another word I could use for left-handed, and these were all alternatives given:
Awkward, bumbling, bungling, butterfingered, cack-handed, clumsy, ham-fisted, ham-handed, heavy-handed, and inept
I'm sure left-handed peeps everywhere will be delighted, innit!

I have a confession to make:
I don't like coconut oil.
Please don't throw things at me. (Maybe I should duck anyway, just to be safe?) I know — I know — what a cult following coconut oil has. People put it on their hair, their hands, their teeth. People use it to remove makeup.
The thing is, when I put coconut oil in my hair, even the slightest bit, it weighs my hair down and makes it look (to my eye, anyway) really greasy.
When I put it on my skin, it makes me break out like a hormonal teenager.
When I use it to take off eye makeup, it does take off my eye makeup. It also makes my eyes burn and run for a good 24 hours afterward.
It's just not the oil for me.
My oil of choice is argan, made from the kernel of the argan tree. And, no offense to your coconut oil, but argan oil is the best. It's not greasy, it absorbs quickly, and it's incredibly moisturizing. I use it on my skin, my lips, my hair, my nails.
I buy the 100 percent Organic Argan Oil at Trader Joe's, which sells it for 6.99 for a 1.7-oz. bottle. (By comparison, a 1.7-oz. bottle of Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil is $48 at Sephora. I've used it, and it's great. But it's $48.)
I use argan oil as my daily and nightly moisturizer, layering a few drops over all the serums and potions I use to try to stave off the effects of time. I use it as a cuticle oil. I put a few drops on the ends of dry hair. I use it as lip balm.
What's more, argan oil is an ingredient in some of my favorite beauty products.
- Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Restoring Argan Oil, $7.99 at drugstores. You apply this moisturizer before you towel off after the shower, which supposedly means you're locking in more moisturizer — I just feel like I'm saving time in the morning. I love the scent of this lotion, which is ultra-moisturizing.
- Moroccan Magic lip balms, $3.99 at drugstores. These lip balms contain essential oils — my favorite is the peppermint eucalyptus — and add a ton of moisture without feeling heavy. I like to layer them over a matte lipstick for a little shine.
- MoroccanOil Glimmer Shine, $14 at Sephora. I have dry hair that tends toward frizzy, particularly in the humid summer months. This spray hydrates hair and helps tame flyaways, and leaves behind a healthy-looking sheen.
If you're a coconut devotee, give argan oil a try — it has all of the benefits and none of the grease.

Can trustees raise a special levy?
The answer is yes. Prescribed Management Rule 31(4B) deals with this as such:
"The trustees may from time to time, when necessary, make special levies upon the owners or call upon them to make special contributions in respect of all such expenses as are mentioned in rule 31(1) above (which are not included in any estimates made in terms of rule 31(2) above), and such levies and contributions may be made payable in one sum or by such instalments and at such time or times as the trustees shall think fit."
Having said that the Trustees should be wary of raising special levies for items already included in the approved budget for the year, as mentioned in PMR 31 (4B), and or for proposed luxurious improvements as this requires a unanimous resolution of the members.
Trustee Meetings:
How many meetings should trustees hold per annum?
There is no prescribed answer to this as the Act states that the trustees shall meet as they deem fit. Some Management rules have been amended though to determine minimum number of meetings, but this is rare.
Generally, trustees meet once a quarter and such meetings should be concurrent with the financial year of the scheme, however trustees can opt to meet as often or as infrequently as they wish, depending on the demands of the scheme.
Can a person hold more than one proxy?
There is ongoing confusion about this and this confusion is caused by the Sectional Title Schemes Management Act, which I refer to earlier, which is not yet in force.
Currently a person may hold as many proxies as he or she has been given.
However, once the above Act comes into force the number of proxies held by any one person will be limited to 2.
Can one vote if in arrears with levies or in breach of the conduct rules?
The answer is no, except in the case where a special or unanimous resolution is required. The breach should also have been communicated to the owner, in writing, and the owner must be in persistent breach thereof.
Having said that, the bondholder of the unit in question, if in attendance, may vote on behalf of the owner as a proxy even if in arrears and or breach.
What is the quorum requirement for an ordinary general meeting?
In a Home Owners Association the quorum is determined by the Constitution. In Sectional Title, however, it is determined as follows:
the number of owners holding at least 50 per cent of the votes, present in person or by proxy or by representative recognised by law and entitled to vote, in schemes where there are ten units or less;
the number of owners holding at least 35 per cent of the votes, present in person or by proxy or by representative recognised by law and entitled to vote in the case of schemes with less than 50 but more than 10 units; and
the number of owners holding at least 20 per cent of the votes present in person or by proxy or by representative recognised by law and entitled to vote, in the case of schemes with 50 or more units.
It is important to note that that a general meeting called for the passing of a unanimous resolution requires 80% of the members, in value and number, to be present.
New Acts:
Will our existing Management and Conduct Rules fall away when the Sectional Title Schemes Management Act is operational?
No, they will continue in force until such time as the prescribed rules are replaced by the Minister, which the new Act entitles him to do.

If you are like most parents or grandparents – you probably bundle up your little ones when the weather turns cold, before you secure them in their car seat.
One would think that is a "best practice" – right?
Investigators at NBC just released the results of a test looking at just how safe children dressed in winter coats and belted into their car seats really are in a car accident. The results are disturbing.
It turns out that loosening the straps of a children's car seat to accommodate a bulkier coat makes it much more likely your child will come tumbling out of both their car seat and their coat in a car crash.
So what are the options?

Kim and Pat
Who we are:
Two sisters, Kim and Pat, grew up playing make believe together. A local artist helped put their fond memories of make believe on canvas, which they reproduced on durable, cleanable vinyl that can be removed and moved to a new location, if needed. The vivid color palettes of the murals came from the Victorian era houses, often referred to as Painted Ladies, where their dreams took place.
Your daughter or granddaughter will feel like she is living her own storybook fantasy surrounded by these dreamy life size backdrops. The mural designs are inspired by the memories of special ladies from the sisters' childhoods.
Any of the murals can be customized with your special young lady's name or initial. Any color combination is possible. Explore the possibilities. Wonderful things can happen when a young girl is living in her own fairy tale.
What we do:
2 Painted Ladies creates murals for your little girl to grow from infant to tween by simply changing the furnishings. Our life size murals are hand painted, digitally printed on washable and strippable vinyl.
2 Painted Ladies was started by Washington, D.C. designer, Kim Christie. After installing many hand painted one-of-a-kind murals, she imagined that murals could be digitally reproduced onto wallpaper for a fraction of the time, effort and cost. Kim designed the trompe l'oiel architectural designs for little girls' rooms. The designs are first painted on canvas by a local artist, then the digital image is printed on wallpaper (in the USA). Designs are flexible to accommodate various room sizes, wall heights... and can be personalized with your little girl's name, initials and colors.
What we need:
2 Painted Ladies is looking for talented mural artists. Interested? We'd love to hear from you.

Al Assad says to the argentinian Clarín he will not resign, but let the people vote in 2014
Al Assad said in an interview to the Argentinian newspaper Clarín, he will not step down now because of the pressures from outside, but he will wait to see what the Syrian people decide in the presidential elections in 2014.
The problem is that the elections are very far away and there is too much time for violence in Syria without a political agreement to stop it before. Other problem would be how to conduct elections in Syria if the violence doesn't stop, because now it seems impossible to organize nothing of the like, with the Country in fact divided in areas in hands of the opposition groups and others in hands of the Government fighting against each other, without freedom of movements for the civilians; with more than 1.2 million refugees out of the borders and more than 4.5 million internal displaced people according to the UN agencies. This is now. Nobody can predict what would be the situation in 2014.
"I won't resign. The people will say who will stay and who will have to go, not the US", under this headline, Clarín published the first part of the interview with Al Assad by Marcelo Cantelmi, in which the Syrian leader denied the death toll of more than 80,000 people the UN is estimating in this war, denied the use of chemical weapons from his part and explained he is fighting terrorist groups. "We shouldn't ignore that many of the dead that they talk about are foreigners who have come to kill the Syrian people," he said. He questioned the credibility of the sources who estimate the death toll, said that the number of dead people "changes constantly" and many times terrorists kill people who are now in "mass graves", blaming "local terrorism and that coming from abroad" for the violence.
"To resign would be to fly", he said to Cantelmi "I don't know if (US Secretary of State) Kerry or another one have received some power from the Syrian people to talk in their behalf about who has to go and who has to stay. That will be decided by the Syrian people in the presidential elections 2014", he insisted. Asked about the possible presence of international observers in this elections if they take place, he said that this is a "national decision" and explained that Syrian people don't trust the West. He said that if there has to be international observers would come from friendly Countries like China or Russia".
About the International Conference of Peace that are pushing US and Russia after an agreement earlier this month, Al Assad said that the idea is welcomed, but he doesn't think would have results. "We have received the Russian-US approach well and we hope that there will be an international conference to help Syrians overcome the crisis, but we don't believe many western countries want a solution in Syria. And we don't believe many of the parties that support the terrorists want a solution to the crisis", Clarín quoted. "We must be clear … there is confusion in the world over a political solution and terrorism. They think that a political conference will stop terrorism on the ground. This is unrealistic."
Al Assad said also that he fears an invasion as a possibility after the latest wins of his forces on the ground that can change the outcome of the war, and after the Israeli's bombings near Damascus. He admitted there are Hezbollah fighters in Syria but said they were there before going in and out the Country and this is nothing new.

Earlier today, Star Wars fans got a pleasant surprise. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, of Game of Thrones fame, are soon to join Lucasfilm. They've been recruited to act as writers and producers for a whole new series of Star Wars movies. Right now, not much is known about these films - we've literally had a single press release.
Surprisingly, though, that press release actually drops a lot of hints as to the future of the Star Wars saga. So here's what we know so far!
Benioff & Weiss Are Producing / Writing, Not Directing
Lucasfilm have recruited Benioff and Weiss to write and produce these new films, not direct them. These movies will be independent from both the "Skywalker Saga" and Rian Johnson's trilogy. That's particularly intriguing, given the "Skywalker Saga" is due to come to an end in 2019. Han Solo and Luke Skywalker have both died in the Sequel Trilogy, and Carrie Fisher sadly passed away in 2016. Lucasfilm is charting the future of the franchise, and they've chosen a team of writer / producers who excel at world-building.
RELATED: Star Wars: Game of Thrones Writers & Rian Johnson's Movies Are Separate
"In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we've been dreaming of it ever since," Benioff and Weiss said in an official statement. "We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started."
It's worth noting that, as important as Benioff and Weiss will be to creating the new Star Wars movies, it will fall to Lucasfilm's chosen directors to actually create them. So don't expect the tone and style of Game of Thrones on the big screen.
This Is A Series, Not Just One Movie
It seems Benioff and Weiss have been hired to create a whole new corner of the Star Wars galaxy. This isn't intended to be a solo anthology film. It isn't even intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy. Instead, Lucasfilm want Benioff and Weiss to exercise their world-building skills to create something new.
This raises an intriguing question; what will happen to the standalone Star Wars movies? The anthology films have proved to be a remarkable success; Rogue One grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Solo is a little more uncertain, though; the movie has had a troubled production, and fans are still very wary indeed. Now Lucasfilm has signed up to both a new trilogy and a new series. Will the anthologies continue, or will Lucasfilm change strategy?
- Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) release date: May 25, 2018
- Star Wars 9 / Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) release date: Dec 20, 2019

Tim Kemple's first IQ250 Encounter Phase One
Follow action and sports photographer, Tim Kemple, on his very first day shooting with the new Phase One IQ250 digital back and witness one of the craziest days Tim has had as a photographer.
Try the IQ250: http://www.phaseone.com/demo
Download Capture One: http://www.phaseone.com/download
"My first day shooting with the IQ250 was one of the craziest days I've ever had as a photographer.
On paper the idea was pretty simple: Mount the camera to a helicopter and capture pictures of mountain biking like people had never seen it before. But even though we planned for days and days, things didn't work out as we expected. I knew from the beginning that it wouldn't be easy but I'm always pushing myself to capture images that are truly unique.
We planned everything great. We had two of the world's best mountain bikers, Kyle Strait and Tyler "T-Mac" McCaul. They showed up early and they were stoked to ride. There is just something about shooting with professional athletes that is hard to describe but it really pushes me as a photographer.
We got off to a fast start and things were looking amazing. I was just getting in the groove but then the worst happened. Tyler went down hard. Everyone was really worried. Do we need to go to the hospital? Should we call an ambulance? You just don't know. Really what T-Mac needed was just a few moments to get his wits about him and he was good to keep on riding.
At that point it was about midday. We had gotten the camera all balanced and ready to fly but that is when the next challenge hit us. On the very first pass the behind the scenes team clipped a branch and crashed the helicopter right into a tree. I'm an optimist but things were not looking good. And to make matters worse, it started to rain hard.
At that point I thought we were done for the day but I looked over and Kyle and T-Mac were psyched. We have come all this way, let's figure out a way to get this done.
So we're in a full on rainstorm right now. The helicopter did not like the wind, it did not like the rain and we have moved on to plan B which is a ladder.
The sun is setting, the rain is pouring down and we are throwing mud all over the place trying to get this ladder dug into the hillside. And then Kyle and T-Mac start throwing
massive tail whips off this jump and they are coming within inches of me.
It's getting dark so I'm having to turn up the ISO on my camera. I'm looking down and I just can't believe how incredible these images are looking. These weren't the images I had pictured in my head at the start of the day but because of the rain and the
weather, they are better.
And that was my crazy wet and wild first day with the IQ250."
Watch action and sports photographer, Tim Kemple, tell about his route to becoming a professional photographer, and how his work has allowed him to travel to the farthest corners of the world:

Why your kitchen needs glass splashbacksShare
Out of the wide range that's available for installation in kitchens, including wood, granite, tiles, veneer, marble, quartz, and so on, glass splashbacks have emerged as the most popular type of splashbacks. In fact, modern homes are conspicuously characterized by glass splashbacks. If you are still wondering what's the current craze behind glass splashbacks, read on to find out.
Unparalleled beauty
The distinct beauty associated with glass splashbacks is one of the key reasons why they are so popular among homeowners. Glass has a unique characteristic of allowing light to reflect and bounce off it, creating an amazing coloured illumination which occupies the entire splashback. As a result, glass splashbacks highlight a sense of light and colour in your kitchen, which creates a sense of warmth. Based on your individual taste, you can either choose subtle or bold shades to remarkably enhance the design and appearance of your kitchen space.
Hygiene is another reason why glass splashbacks are popular among homeowners. In contrast to other splashback materials, glass isn't pitted nor textured. Basically, glass splashbacks are carved from a solitary sheet of moulded and preformed glass which minimises the number of areas in which bacteria may hide. Veneer and wood splashbacks peel and disintegrate, while granite splashbacks are porous, and this allows bacteria to penetrate and survive therein, creating a health risk to homeowners.
No staining
Glass hardly stains. Be it sauces, curry, vinegar, beetroot or lemon juice, these cannot inflict any threat to your glass worktops and splashbacks. Moreover, glass is easy to wipe or clean. The stains accumulated when chopping, cutting and cooking in the kitchen can be easily removed with a simple dishwashing solution and a wipe. That explains why glass splashbacks are found in many modern homes where individuals are often busy and don't have the time for routine cleaning and maintenance of their kitchen space.
The common assumption is that glass is feeble and delicate. However, glass splashbacks are not as delicate as they might look on the naked eye. Bear in mind that splashbacks for kitchen use are designed from toughened glass. Consequently, they can withstand all manner of pressure exerted on them by cooking appliances, utensils, chopping, kneading, cutting and other tasks that happen in the kitchen without breaking.
With all these advantages, there's no reason why you shouldn't take the bold step and update your kitchen space with glass splashbacks.

Research Information
Protein chaperones and stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The heat shock response is highly conserved in all kingdoms, making it one of the most ancient cellular regulatory systems.
We have two primary interests:
- how heat shock is sensed and transduced to yield a genome-wide transcriptional response
- how protein chaperones, including the Hsp70, Hsp90 and the Hsp110 groups, function collaboratively to maintain cellular protein homeostasis during normal growth and during adaptation to environmental stress
The baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is an ideal microbial model system in which to investigate these questions, due to its facile genetics, genomics and ease of manipulation. These studies will directly impact our understanding of how human cells respond to pathophysiological states such as cancer and anoxia which strongly induce a heat shock response. In addition, there is growing evidence that the amyloid diseases of protein misfolding, including prion-based maladies such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob (mad cow), and other triplet-repeat type disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's Diseases, are intimately linked to protein chaperone expression and function.

The Atlantic coastal plain is a Eastern Continental Divide, which demarcates the plain from the ACF River Basin in the Gulf Coastal Plain to the west. The province is bordered on the west by the Atlantic Seaboard fall line and the Piedmont plateau, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the south by the Floridian province. The Outer Lands archipelagic region forms the insular northeasternmost extension of the Atlantic coastal plain.
The province's average elevation is less than 900 meters above sea level and extends some 50 to 100 kilometers inland from the ocean. The coastal plain is generally wet, including many rivers, marsh, and swampland. It is composed primarily of sedimentary rock and unlithified sediments and is primarily used for agriculture.[4] The area is subdivided into the Embayed and Sea Island physiographic provinces, as well as the Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic coastal plains.[5]

As many of you will know, my hair is untameable, unruly and out of control a lot of the time. As a child I never knew what to do with my hair, nor did anybody else for that matter. My Mum used to brush my hair everyday to form a halo of frizz, by the end of the day I'd be left with a matted knot, I'd dread trying to get a brush through it… Hair dressers have always been surprised at how dry my hair is, I explain that it has always been like that and I just thought it was normal (they don't believe me), one hairdresser got me onto Moroccan oil to help try and tame the frizz.
I must have tried every oil under the sun since, and have hand picked some of my favourites.
Moroccan oil:
This was the first oil I ever tried, a little does go a long way, you just need a pea size amount on towel dried hair, either air dry or blow dry. Humidity isn't my friend so I also smooth a little over my hair when its dry to stop the frizz. I wanted to find some more affordable versions, and usually buy this one as a treat. 125ml - £31
Oribe gold lust oil:
This oil is light weight, and was specifically made to strengthen and restore dry or damaged hair. Apply to damp hair. 100ml - £45 I'll be asking for it for christmas.
Argania spinosa organic organ oil:
When I found this one it changed my life. The price is incredible, Smells amazing and ingredients are good. Be careful not to apply too much as it can weigh your your hair down a little. Apply a tiny amount through damp hair, or smooth a little onto dry hair. 100ml - £6 AMAZING!
Germaine De Capuccini:
"Formulated with 5 natural oils that have twice the anti-oxidising power of Argan oil, this restoring essence repairs the hair and protects it against daily aggression. The hair is immediately hydrated, shinny and frizz free, without feeling oily." Does exactly what it says on the tin. Prevents hair loss, thickens and protects against daily aggressors, plus the smell is beautiful. 100ml - £33.45
OGX argan oil & shea butter:
This brand is my holiday go-to. Smoothes and hydrates, it feels weightless and sinks straight in, I like to use this one when I have my hair curly, it smooths frizz and increases shine, which helps keep my curls looking good an healthy all day. 118ml - £6.99
OGX Kukui oil:
This one is good for every hair type. the weightless feel an the fact it is in a spray is really handy. It is humidity resistant which is fab, I spray a little on dry hair before I go out, amazing, especially on holiday. 118ml - £7.35

katy bateman
Katy has been practicing yoga since her early 20's, and first started teaching yoga in 2010. As a Yoga Alliance Registered Senior Yoga Teacher, her teaching style and practice has shifted and changed over this period, but has always stayed aligned and connected to the teaching principals of Anusara® yoga. Now an Anusara-Inspired yoga teacher, Katy is thrilled to share her passion for a school of yoga that has helped shaped not just her practice, but emotional and spiritual life.
Katy teaches classes and workshops at studios, festivals and events national and internationally. She's thrilled to team up with the wonderful Chloë Faulkner to offer retreats in Europe and globally.
Initially teaching children's yoga through SE London, Katy was able to combine her degree in Drama, Applied Theatre and Education to help children learn yoga through play, engage with their imaginations, and feel confidant expressing themselves verbally, physically and emotionally. It was a quick progression to her YA 200 certification, under the guidance of Bridget Woods - Kramer, who she continues to study with and assist today.
Katy takes great pleasure applying her training as a workshop facilitator, having studied at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, into her yoga classes. Having studied how to use drama as a tool for social and emotional change, it felt like a natural side step to apply this methodology and ethos into her yoga teaching. It also helped greatly in her communication skills as a teacher, and eagerness to develop, teach and empower students in their practice - which is why elements of class can feel like mini workshops (!)
Katy classes are playful and creative and have a strong focus on safe alignment in every pose. The heart opening and self affirming Universal Principals of Anusara Yoga can be applied to every style of yoga, be it dynamic, restorative or somewhere in-between (!) Expect to use props, make new friends and have a bit of fun during class!
" Yoga is connection with everything- not just with individuals' bodies, breath + mind, but to also connection to the people and world around you. The combination of awareness of universal, as well as personal connection is (for me!) the key to spiritual growth. One my greatest hopes is that the students who attend my classes are able to build friendships, and have a sense of community, in and outside of the classroom."

Banana Cake
My friend Helga posted this recipe she adapted from a cookbook to Facebook and I decided to try but I found I didn't have self raising flour so it checked for a recipe to make it.
Here is the recipe for the banana cake
To make self raising flour
1 cup plain flour
1/4 tsp fine salt
1 tsp baking powder
Mixed together
Other ingredients
250 gm ripe bananas ( about 2.5 bananas)
3 eggs
40 gm melted unsalted butter
1 tsp baking soda
100 gm brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Cut the bananas into smaller slices into a medium bowl and mix with the baking soda and set aside.
In another medium bowl, mix 3 eggs with the brown sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla till the sugar is dissolved.
Add the prepared flour into the eggs mixture n mix thoroughly till no more white flour can be seen
Then add the egg mix into the bananas
Stir well and then add in the melted butter. Combine.
Preheat oven to 180c.
I lined my loaf pan with baking paper with paper hanging over the sides of the loaf pan and pour the batter into it. This helps to remove the cake easily.
Place a few slices of bananas on the surface.
Bake for 35-40 mins.
Cool before cutting.
Happy Baking!!

Baked cream cheese tarts
These are delicious and I applied 3 different toppings. The original recipe is from Alex Ong but I followed this blog recipe http://messywitchen.com/recipe/dessert-recipe/blueberry-cheese-tarts/
I made 12 tarts and I still have left over cream cheese filling so perhaps next round can make up to 15 tarts for 1 batch. I think is because my tart size is small as I used my Zhui kueh molds.
I kept the filling and the remainder pastry dough in the fridge to make more tarts next day.
Making the tart shells each 30 gm
Should have reduced to 25gm as my mold size is smaller - next time!
Spoon cheese filling into cooled cooked tart shells - baked at 190c 11 mins
Baked at 180c for 9 mins

Cheese and Bacon Potato Gratin
This is a dish for potato lovers
I used up 4 russet potatoes and a few slices of bacon in there. It is aromatic and I like the flavour.

I omitted the white mushrooms n flaked almonds and for cheddar cheese I replaced with pizza plus shredded cheese from Perfect Italiano.

I find that it's a huge serving
We just ate for fun but I kept the balance and brought it to work for my lunch the next day . Just wrap in aluminum foil n heat it up.
Do give it a try! Happy baking!

1 tablespoon golden syrup
75 gm plain flour mixed with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda n 1/8 tsp fine salt

The cookies are very soft when just taken out of the oven
They will harden upon cooling
They are crispy but I did not find them chewy as described in the original recipe

Maximum 12 on my tray

NORTHRIDGE, California The recent opening of the brand-new Aliante Station Casino and Hotel in North Las Vegas marked the continued growth of Kelley Technologies as one of the leading A/V installers for casinos in southern Nevada. Kelley Technologies handled the design and installation of the entire audio/video system at Aliante Station, implementing JBL Control® Contractor Series loudspeakers throughout the venue.
Located in the expanding North Las Vegas area, Aliante Station is the latest casino to open under Station Casinos ownership, joining other well-known casinos such as Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Resort and Wild Wild West. Aliante Station features a gaming area, with 2,000 slot and video poker games, more than 40 table games, a poker room, a high-limit room, and a state-of-the-art Race & Sports Book. The hotel boasts 200 hotel rooms, while the property also contains six restaurants.
Kelley Technologies has a longstanding relationship with Station Casinos, having installed systems in several of the companys locations, and the A/V system at Aliante Station showcases the continuation of a successful formula. As with most of Stations casino properties, the race & sports Book area at Aliante Station serves as the head end for distribution of the A/V system.
In keeping with the philosophy of most casinos, the audio system needed to be conducive to creating a comfortable environment where customers would enjoy the gaming experience. "The goal at Aliante Station was to provide crystal-clear, atmospheric sound while simultaneously making sure the audio equipment maintained a low profile," said H Waldman, project manager for Kelley Technologies.
To create this balance of adequate sound and discreet appearance, Kelley Technologies found the JBL Control Contractor Series to be an ideal solution. And while the audio components are largely out of plain view, Aliante Station is nonetheless a showcase for the versatility and quality of the Control Contractor Series loudspeakers, which are dispersed throughout the casino and hotel. In all, the system features a total of 754 Control 227CT medium-format, in-ceiling loudspeakers, 983 Control 25T surface-mount loudspeakers, and 232 Control 28T-60 surface mount loudspeakers. Crown CTs amplifiers power the system, which also includes processing from BSS Audio BLU 32 and BLU 80 components.
Since the opening of the Aliante Station, the system has performed to expectations. "The JBL Control speakers were easy to install and provided the smooth, even coverage that is so important in casino projects," Waldman added. "Additionally, the variety of options JBL provides allowed us to use different loudspeaker models for different areas while maintaining a level of consistency throughout the property."

Rashford bagged two goals for England during the international break, leading to pundits questioning his lack of game time at Manchester United.
But Mourinho has hit back at his critics ahead of tomorrow's trip to Watford, a game Rashford will miss through suspension.
The United boss reeling off a list of statistics in this morning's press conference in an effort to disprove "compulsive lies" about his handling of the 20-year-old striker.
It was reminiscent of Rafa Benitez's infamous facts rant back in 2009 when the then-Liverpool boss read prepared stats intended for former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Speaking about Marcus, I think I can expect that Sunday I'm going to be highly criticised for not playing him tomorrow," he said.
"Because some of the boys are really obsessed with me and some of them have a problem with some compulsive lies.
"So I can expect that Sunday some of them will wake up in the morning and the first thing they think of is Jose Mourinho.
"So I can imagine on Sunday I am going to be criticised for not playing Marcus but it's not my fault, he's suspended, so probably you should remind them he is suspended and cannot play.
"So I'm going to do something, not for you, but the United fans, and I think I hold myself to the United fans and so for them I am going to spend two mins with you.
"In 2016-17, Marcus Rashford played 32 Premier League matches, 11 Europa League matches, including the final, three FA Cup matches, six League Cup matches, including the final, and the Community Shield.
"He had 53 appearances, but if you want to take to the minutes of play, he played 3,068, and if you wan to divide that by 90-minute matches, he played 34.2 matches of 90-minute matches in 2016-17.
"In 2017-18, he played 35 Premier League matches, eight in the Champions League, five in the FA Cup, three League Cup matches and the European Super Cup final.
"He played a total of 52 matches with 2,676 mins, and if you divide that by 90, it gives you 29.7 matches.
"So with me, in two seasons, he had 105 appearances, 5,774 mins, 63.7 matches of 90 minutes, including five finals, so the people speaking about these minutes, I think they are a bit confused.
"Marcus is not [Liverpool striker] Dominic Solanke, not [Chelsea midfielder] Ruben Loftus-Cheek, not [Everton forward] Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
"He's Marcus Rashford, a Manchester United player, with an incredible number of appearances and an incredible number of minutes played at the highest level in the best possible competitions.
"So Manchester United supporters, for you and just for you, to know what we are doing with Marcus, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, that's what we are doing here."

Brutalist "City Block" facade at risk of facade demolition
The Brutalist style 'City Block' building facade in Launceston CBD is at risk of being demolished. Read the full story here > http://www.examiner.com.au/story/2634185/redesigned-vision-for-city-block-building/?cs=95
My letter to the editor: Why does the facade of City Block (Examiner 18/10) need to be altered for what would otherwise be a positive business plan in the Launceston CBD? City Block is one of just a few examples of Brutalist architecture in Launceston, with some others being Henty House Government offices and the ANZ bank. Whilst the tourism and fashionable trend in the contemporary context is the obsessive protection of what is deemed as "old", we denying future generations the ability to look at our streetscapes that portray architecture from all periods of history. We live but in a moment in time, yet buildings such as City Block visually portray a story of our built and social history.

What Plain English Really Is
Scribes Journal of Legal Writing, Vol. 9, p. 43, 2003-2004
33 Pages Posted: 19 Jan 2009 Last revised: 12 Mar 2014
This article responds to the article Against Plain English: The Case for a Functional Approach to Legal Document Preparation by Professor David Crump of the University of Houston Law Center. In this article, I first highlight some insights and suggestions that Professor Crump got right - things he wrote that I agree with. Next, I suggest several authors, articles, and books that Professor Crump should have dealt with, discussed, or at least cited in an article that criticizes plain English. Then I address six of Professor Crump's points that I disagree with. Finally, I try to give a fuller picture of plain English; I hope to correct some mistakes and debunk some myths.
Keywords: plain English, plain language, legal writing, legal drafting, myths, sources, Crump
