Mike Douglas, born Michael Delaney Dowd, Jr. (August 11, 1925 – August 11, 2006), was an American entertainer. Douglas was born in Chicago, Illinois, and began singing as a choirboy. By his teens he was working as a singer on a Lake Michigan dinner cruise ship. After serving briefly in the United States Navy near the end of World War II, and as a "staff singer" for WMAQ-TV in Chicago, he moved to Los Angeles. There he became a vocalist in the big band of Kay Kyser, with whom he was featured on two notable hits, "Ole [or Old] Buttermilk Sky" in 1946 and "The Old Lamplighter" the following year. Kyser was responsible for giving him his show business name, and he remained part of Kyser's band until Kyser retired from show business in 1951. In 1950, he provided the singing voice of Prince Charming in Walt Disney's Cinderella. In the 1950s Douglas, living in Burbank, California, tried to keep his singing career going, working as house singer for a nightclub and going on the road to stay busy. He preferred not to switch to rock and roll, which limited his opportunities as big band music was declining in popularity. In the leanest years, he and his wife survived by successfully "flipping" their L.A. homes. He next surfaced in 1961 in Cleveland, where a onetime Chicago colleague hired him for $400 a week as an afternoon television talk-show host at WKYC-TV, then known as KYW-TV. The show rapidly gained popularity, and ultimately, national syndication in August 1963 on five Westinghouse-owned stations. It stopped broadcasting live in 1965 after guest Zsa Zsa Gabor used inappropriate language on the air. As KYW-TV's owner, Group W, successfully had a station swap with NBC overturned by the FCC, the program moved to Philadelphia in June 1965 with KYW itself — though WKYC in Cleveland continued to carry the program for many years afterward. Guests ranged from Truman Capote and Richard Nixon to The Rolling Stones and Herman's Hermits. The show helped introduce entertainers such as Barbra Streisand and Aretha Franklin. After the move to Philadelphia, Douglas also attempted to revive his own singing career, logging his lone Top 40 single as a solo artist, "The Man In My Little Girl's Life" in 1966. By 1967, The Mike Douglas Show was broadcast to 171 markets and 6,000,000 viewers each day, mostly women at home. It earned $10.5 million from advertisers, while its host was paid more than $500,000. In 1967, the program received the first Emmy Award for Individual Achievement in Daytime Television from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Most weeks, Douglas would be joined by a co-host, which included John Lennon & Yoko Ono, and Anne Baxter. In July 1978, the talk show's home base was transferred to Los Angeles, where it remained until finally going off the air in 1981. A second series, The Mike Douglas Entertainment Hour, ended production in 1982. Was first to feature a then 2-year-old Tiger Woods on his show. Douglas became a local cultural icon in Philadelphia, often inviting prominent players from the city's professional sports teams to be guests on his show (he had a particular affinity for the city's pro football team, the Philadelphia Eagles, constantly referring to the team as "Our Eagles", and he could often be seen in attendance at Eagles' home games, especially whenever they appeared on Monday Night Football). He also assisted in mayor Frank Rizzo's campaign against derisive jokes often told by outsiders about the city, acting as chief spokesperson for the "Anti-Defamation Agency" Rizzo had set up for this purpose. Douglas wrote a 1999 memoir titled I'll Be Right Back: Memories of TV's Greatest Talk Show. Forty years after Douglas began his talk show at KYW-TV, his granddaughter Debbie Voinovich Donley designed successor WKYC's new broadcast facility on Lakeside Avenue, completed in 2002. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1990, but after surgery he was cancer-free. Douglas died on his 81st birthday, at a Palm Beach Gardens hospital in North Palm Beach, Florida. Though the cause of death has not yet been disclosed, Douglas's wife, Genevieve, tells the Associated Press that he grew dehydrated on a golf course a few weeks ago and has been treated for that off and on since. "He was coming along fine," says the widow. "We never anticipated this to happen." He was survived by his widow Genevieve, daughters Kelly and twins Michele and Christine, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. * He serenaded Rosie O'Donnell with "You Make Me Feel So Young" after she credited him with part of her success. * In Eddie Murphy's The Nutty Professor Grandma Klump described Mike Douglas as being "the only white man who ever made me moist". * His highest ratings came with a show co-hosted by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. * Mike Douglas is credited by Bill Cosby for his "discovery." * Guests for The Mike Douglas Show were often treated to a round trip limousine ride between New York City and Philadelphia.

New partnerships with the New York Academy of Sciences, the STEM Funders Network, and the Afterschool Alliance will advance initiative President Obama launched in 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of today's White House Science Fair, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the federal agency that administers AmeriCorps, announced major expansions of STEM AmeriCorps that will support STEM mentoring opportunities for young people. This $2.5 million expansion includes two new programs that are the result of new partnerships with the New York Academy of Sciences, as well as the Afterschool Alliance and the STEM Funders Network.
Through a partnership with the New York Academy of Sciences, CNCS will place more than 10 AmeriCorps VISTA members in afterschool STEM mentoring programs in 60 of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City and Newark, N.J. The AmeriCorps VISTA members will recruit, train, and place scientists as mentors in high-poverty schools and community based organizations to demonstrate the opportunities in STEM-related fields for students. This 3-year program will benefit 2,600 school-aged children in 130 classrooms with 260 scientist mentors.
"AmeriCorps members are improving the lives of millions of citizens and having a positive and lasting impact on the toughest challenges facing our communities," said Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. "By strengthening STEM education for students, especially those from low-income backgrounds, STEM AmeriCorps will spark greater interest in math and science and build ladders of opportunity these students might otherwise never have. The new partnerships with the New York Academy of Sciences, the Afterschool Alliance, and the STEM Funders Network are another step forward in achieving this mission."
"If you look at some of the world's greatest challenges – hunger and obesity, Alzheimer's disease and our aging population, energy and water shortages – you'll find New York Academy of Sciences Members at the forefront of the search for innovative solutions. It comes as no surprise that our Members want to be a part of solving the STEM education crisis," said Ellis Rubinstein, President and CEO, The New York Academy of Sciences. "Over 1000 Academy Members have already volunteered to teach and mentor kids through the Afterschool STEM Mentoring Program. This generous grant from CNCS will build our capacity to bring this experience to thousands more, and help inspire the next generation of STEM innovators."
STEM Ecosystems, an initiative supported by a new partnership between CNCS, the Afterschool Alliance, and the STEM Funders Network, will place up to 28 AmeriCorps VISTA members in as many as 14 communities across the nation to create and connect STEM-rich learning environments, equip educators, support youth pathways, and cultivate cross-sector partnerships. Built on more than a decade of research of successful collaborations, the STEM Ecosystems Initiative seeks to nurture and scale effective STEM learning opportunities for all young people. These collaborations happen inside and outside the classroom—in afterschool and summer programs, at home, in science centers, libraries and other places both virtual and physical.
"Over the past year, the STEM Funders Network has supported the cultivation and design of STEM Learning Ecosystems across the country, ensuring that STEM learning is truly 'everywhere' and is a top priority for communities supporting youth to develop the skills and knowledge they will need to be successful and competitive in our changing global workforce landscape," said Gerald Solomon, Executive Director of the Samueli Foundation and Co-Chair of the STEM Funders Network. "Partnering with the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Afterschool Alliance to help bring AmeriCorps VISTA members to the initiative is critical to further cultivation of STEM Learning Ecosystems, impacting thousands of children and youth through integrated STEM learning settings."
"Afterschool programs, with their emphasis on engaged, hands-on learning, are a dynamic and effective setting for innovative STEM education," said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant. "We're delighted to be able to partner with the Corporation for National and Community Service and the STEM Funders Network to expand STEM learning opportunities and strengthen afterschool's role as partners in the STEM learning ecosystem. Adding AmeriCorps VISTAs and STEM education opportunities to communities in need will better position young people to thrive in the global workforce of tomorrow. Giving young people more STEM learning opportunities benefits all of us."
First announced by President Obama at the White House Science Fair in 2013, STEM AmeriCorps is a multi-year effort that has placed hundreds of AmeriCorps members in nonprofits across the country, mobilizing STEM professionals to inspire young people. Current STEM AmeriCorps initiatives include partnerships with FIRST, Maker Education Initiative, Citizen Schools, US2020, Teach for America, Best Buy, and other organizations – efforts collectively engaging tens of thousands of students in STEM learning.
The Obama Administration has made STEM education a major priority. In 2009, the President launched "Educate to Innovate," a nationwide effort to ensure all students have the tools to be innovators and problem solvers, and in this year's State of the Union address, the President called on education, business, and nonprofit leaders to help give every child the opportunity to learn computer science.
Today's announcements build on recent commitments from CNCS that underscore the President's belief that the Nation's students have the potential to help make our country, and our world, a better place. In January, CNCS announced Computer Science Teachers AmeriCorps, a partnership with the National Science Foundation, as part of the Administration's Computer Science for All initiative. The $17 million commitment from CNCS will support the training of teachers in computer science to meet the current level of interest by students who seek more advanced instruction in computer science skills, such as coding. As part of the Administration's ConnectALL effort, CNCS also recently announced a new partnership with Institute of Museum and Library Sciences that will utilize AmeriCorps members to increase access to digital literacy tools in tribal and rural communities.

There may not have been a bride at this wedding, but there certainly was a lot of love.
Jenna Yorkovich came to the unfortunate conclusion seven weeks ago that she wasn't going to be married on Friday night. So instead of using the celebration for wedding guests, Jenna donated the reception house to Ronald McDonald House.
CHECK OUT: Now You Can Turn Cremated Remains of Loved Ones into Blossoming Coral Reefs
Instead of wedding guests, 175 charity volunteers were packed inside the Nicollet Island Pavilion in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Other people honored at the reception were families that the charity has helped in the past.
"It was just making the best of the situation I was in. Looking at the positives and knowing I could help a bunch of other people and show the support to them," Jenna told WCCO.

Calvin Harris Jumps On The Nude Women In Videos Bandwagon
The distinction between Thicke & Timberlakes videos and the new one for Harris is simple: narrative. Instead of using the women front and center (save the g-string shot in the opening few seconds of the clip), director Vincent Haycock punctuates the storyline of excesses gone amok in Harris's video with the odd topless girl. So, still exploitative but less blatantly so.
To advance the story lines, Haycock also throws in pirates, a fist fight, a private jet and a drug-fueled party set in a European castle. Haycock has helmed several of Harris other music videos, including "Sweet Nothing," featuring Florence Welch. more on this story

The world's stock markets took it on the chin last week.
A one-two punch was delivered with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting leading and concerns Britain will leave the European Union following.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve confirmed what many had suspected. There would be no June rate hike. There was unexpected news, too. The Fed lowered its projections for U.S. growth to 2 percent through 2018. Barron's reported the stance of various committee members had shifted from the previous meeting:
"At this week's confab, there were seven projections for two increases, to 0.875 percent, and six for a single hike, to 0.625 percent. There also were two outliers expecting more hikes to above 1 percent. Excluding the highest and lowest guesses, the "central tendency" was in a range of 0.6-0.9 percent, according to the Fed's projections…In March, however, there was a solid consensus of nine members expecting two hikes to 0.875 percent, and seven looking for more hikes to over 1 percent. Back then, the single outlier was calling for just one increase to 0.625 percent."
In the past, dovish Fed actions have pushed U.S. stock markets higher; however, stocks were lower by the end of the day on Wednesday, according to MarketWatch.
Investor reticence may owe much to concerns about the possibility of a British exit. Experts cited by Barron's suggested an EU exit may already be priced into markets since European bank stocks "have been crushed…with some down 40 percent and others at lows not seen in years."
Treasuries and high-quality government bonds rallied through the end of the week as investors opted for 'safe haven' investments*. On Friday, investors took profits after eight days of gains and rates pushed slightly higher, reported The Wall Street Journal.
ARE YOU WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN PLATINUM OR MAYBE SAFFRON? Gold is not the only substance that commands a hefty price per pound. The Telegraph recently reported on the most valuable materials in the world by weight and some were quite surprising!
- Saffron is the most valuable spice in the world. Most of the world's saffron comes from Iran and it can cost as much as $65 a gram, according to The Guardian. There are almost 454 grams in a pound, putting the value of saffron at $29,510 a pound.
- Beluga caviar is mighty expensive. Guinness World Records puts the price at about $34,500 a kilogram. A kilogram is a little more than two pounds.
- Platinum is expected to cost about $1,005 an ounce during 2016, according to Kitco. There are 16 ounces in a pound, putting its per pound value at $16,080.
- Gold may run about $1,250 an ounce, or $20,000 a pound, by the end of 2016, according to CNN Money.
- White truffles are "the fanciest tubers in the fungi kingdom," according to Vox.com. A four-plus pounder sold for $60,000 at auction in 2014, but more common varieties sell for about $300 a pound.
- Venom is pretty tough to harvest, and it commands a premium price. Snake venom runs about $370 per gram, scorpion venom about $596 per gram, and spider venom comes in at about $1,342 per gram. Multiply these amounts by 454 and you get (per pound for each) $167,980 for snake venom, $270,584 for scorpion venom, and $609,268 for spider venom!
Gram for gram, there are some things in the world more valuable than gold!

When do Raynaud symptoms merit a workup for autoimmune rheumatic disease?
Clues to systemic disease include prolonged and painful attacks that can cause ulceration or gangrene. Other clues are older age at onset, male...
For many patients, Raynaud symptoms are mild enough to not even mention to their primary care provider, and conversely, there is little reason for most clinicians to routinely inquire about such symptoms. So it may surprise some readers to read about the nuances of diagnosis and treatment discussed by Shapiro and Wigley in this issue of the Journal.
To a rheumatologist, Raynaud phenomenon, particularly of recent onset in an adult, raises the specter of an underlying systemic inflammatory disease. The phenomenon is not linked to a specific diagnosis; it is associated with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cryoglobulinemia, inflammatory myopathy, Sjögren syndrome, and, in its severe form, with the scleroderma syndromes. We focus on differentiating between these rheumatic disorders once we have discarded nonrheumatic causes such as atherosclerotic arterial disease, carcinoma, embolism, Buerger disease, medications, smoking, or thrombosis.
But rheumatologists are toward the bottom of the diagnostic funnel—we see these patients when an underlying disease is already suspected. The real challenge is for the primary care providers who first recognize the digital vasospasm on examination or are told of the symptoms by their patient. These clinicians need to know which initial reflexive actions are warranted and which can wait, for, as noted by Shapiro and Wigley, there are several options.
The first action is to try to determine the timeline, although Raynaud disease often has an insidious onset or the patient doesn't recall the onset. New and sudden onset likely has a stronger association with an underlying disease. A focused physical examination should look for digital stigmata of ischemic damage; the presence of digital ulcers or healed digital pits indicates a possible vascular occlusive component in addition to the vascular spasm. This strongly suggests scleroderma or Buerger disease, as tissue damage doesn't occur in (primary) Raynaud disease or generally even with Raynaud phenomenon associated with lupus or other rheumatic disorders. Sclerodactyly should be looked for: diffuse finger puffiness, skin-tightening, or early signs such as loss of the usual finger skin creases. Telangiectasia (not vascular spiders or cherry angiomata) should be searched for, particularly on the palms, face, and inner lips, as these vascular lesions are common in patients with limited scleroderma. Careful auscultation for basilar lung crackles should be done. Distal pulses should all be assessed, and bruits in the neck, abdomen and inguinal areas should be carefully sought.
Patients should be questioned about any symptom-associated reduction in exercise tolerance and particularly about trouble swallowing, "heartburn," and symptoms of reflux. Although patients with Raynaud disease may have demonstrable esophageal dysmotility, the presence of significant, new, or worsened symptoms raises the concern of scleroderma. Patients should be asked about symptoms of malabsorption. Specific questioning should be directed at eliciting a history of joint stiffness and especially muscle weakness. The latter can be approached by inquiring about new or progressive difficulty in specific tasks such as walking up steps, brushing hair, and arising from low chairs or the toilet. Distinguishing muscle weakness from general fatigue is not always easy, but it is important.
Shapiro and Wigley discuss the extremely useful evaluation of nailfold capillaries, which can be done with a standard magnifier or ophthalmoscope. This is very valuable to help predict the development or current presence of a systemic rheumatic disease. But this is not a technique that most clinicians are familiar with. A potentially useful surrogate or adjunctive test, especially in the setting of new-onset Raynaud, is the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test; I prefer the immunofluorescent assay. While a positive test alone (with Raynaud) does not define the presence of any rheumatic disease, several older studies suggest that patients with a new onset of Raynaud phenomenon and a positive ANA test are more likely to develop a systemic autoimmune disorder than if the test is negative. Those who do so (and this is far from all) are most likely to have the disease manifest within a few years. Hence, if the ANA test is positive but the history, physical examination, and limited laboratory testing (complete blood cell count with differential, complete metabolic panel, creatine kinase, and urinalysis) are normal, it is reasonable to reexamine the patient in 3 months and then every 6 months for 2 to 3 years, repeating the focused history and physical examination. It is also reasonable at some point to refer these patients to a rheumatologist.
Since Raynaud phenomenon is common, and the associated severe rheumatic disorders associated with it are rare, it is easy to not recognize Raynaud phenomenon as a clue to the onset of a potentially severe systemic disease. Yet with a few simple questions, a focused examination, and minimal laboratory testing, patients who are more likely to harbor a systemic disease can usually be treated symptomatically if necessary, and appropriately triaged to observation or for subspecialty referral.
Clues to systemic disease include prolonged and painful attacks that can cause ulceration or gangrene. Other clues are older age at onset, male...
Avoidance of cold and stress are first-line measures, but if these fail, vasodilator agents are used.

Mini Malifaux League - Week 1/
Malifaux – Week one went off without a hitch. We had 13 players signs up for the three week league with every faction represented. Everyone showed up on time and game wrapped up by 10 pm (most before that). I was happy to see some new faces participating in the event as well as the regular crowd.
Week One used the "Break the Seals" scenario that was featured during the GenCon 2011 event. A fun scenario that involves three columns in the center of the table. On player has to defend the columns the other has to destroy them. The scenario was quite fun, although I did have one player voice his concern that the defender has an advantage. Based on the results I would have to say it is a minor advantage if anything.
We did have several tables of TerraClips set up and players seemed to enjoy them. I still prefer more three dimensional terrain, but for what they are and the easy of storage TerraClips is a great product. I will say you need to either add additional elements to the board or give height to some of the printed elements to get the right amount of terrain on the board.

Numbering over five million men, Britain's army in the First World War was the biggest in the country's history. Remarkably, nearly half those men who served in it were volunteers. 2,466,719 men enlisted between August 1914 and December 1915, many in response to the appeals of the Field-Marshal Lord Kitchener, by then a natural hero. Peter Simkins describes how Kitchener's New Armies were raised and reviews the main political, economic and social effects of the recruiting campaign. He examines the experiences and impressions of the officers and men who made up the New Armies. As well as analysing their motives for enlisting, he explores how they were fed, housed, equipped and trained before they set off for active service abroad. Drawing upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from government papers to the diaries and letters of individual soldiers, he questions long-held assumptions about the 'rush to the colours' and the nature of patriotism in 1914. The book will be of interest not only to those studying social, political and economic history, but also to general readers who wish to know more about the story of Britain's citizen soldiers in the Great War.
KITCHENER'S ARMY The Raising of the New Armies 1914-1916
This is one of the best accounts of the raising of the army that had to take place at the beginning of the war. The book deals clearly with the recruiting boom that happened as well as the establishment of the Pals Battalions. The book deals head on with the issue of when the recruitment went in to decline but also the establishment of conscription. We also see all the training issues especially with equipment as well as the ordinary man dealing with the transition from Civvy Street to army life. A true classic of Great War writing at it's very best.

If you're one of the many home seekers in Metro Vancouver with your sights set on purchasing a condominium for yourself, being prepared beforehand is the best strategy to achieve your goals. As you begin your exciting journey towards home ownership, it is imperative that you know what you are stepping into.
Over the past three years, it has become commonplace for listed properties to be marketed in such a way that a multiple offer situation, or more casually, a bidding war is induced. While some buyers sit on the sidelines and avoid this type of home purchasing environment, many have learned to embrace it and as a result have had success finding their dream home.
So what are the steps leading up to your offer going in that you can take to prepare and safeguard yourself?
First and foremost
Get pre-approved fora mortgage. I cannot stress this enough. In fact, I've written about it before: Get Your Pre-Approval! Simply put, a pre-approval is an amount stated by a bank or mortgage broker that will give you an idea of what you can afford. Knowing this is invaluable when it comes time to searching and making an offer. It is also prudent to stay a little under this budget when searching for homes to reduce the chance of running into mortgage qualification difficulties.
Determine Your Criteria
Location and age of a building are the two main determinants of price point. If your budget allows for it, aiming for newer property is a great idea. New builds provide a warranty covering various components, as well typically yield the highest levels of appreciation. If not, having a REALTOR® who has done research and a good sense of which buildings in the areas you like are well maintained can be a helpful resource. Targeting a building that shows signs of being problem free for as long as possible will help alleviate the fact that a home inspection may not be an option in multiple offer situations. *Disclaimer: I always recommend getting a home inspection, however, evaluating the pros and cons of having this as a subject sometimes leads to the unfortunate decision of foregoing it. Given the pace of sales for some properties, buyers are often left with a choice between a home inspection or having a competitive offer.
Viewing Schedule
The property that looks like it's your next home has hit the market at a seemingly attractive price. If the home is following the traditional schedule of viewing to attract multiple offers, you can expect that showings for this home will only be available on the Wednesday or Thursday evening after it's been listed, as well as at two open houses, typically from 2:00PM - 4:00PM on Saturday and Sunday. Given that other showing times may not be available, scheduling time to see the property should be a priority.
Documents, Documents, and more Documents
After viewing the home you want, you've decided to write an offer on it. At this point, you should have access to the documents pertaining to the building and suite. Within this extensive package, you'll find items such as: bylaws and rules for the building, engineers reports from studies conducted on the building, a Property Disclosure Statement outlining information regarding the state of the property disclosed by the owner, minutes from strata council meetings, financial statements, and more. These documents are vital and the importance of reading through them cannot be overstated. Within the documents, you'll find out the status of the building and get a good sense if the strata is proactive in maintaining day to day operations. A diligent REALTOR® will read through these documents on your behalf and ensure that they are looking out for your best interests. Nevertheless, as a property is generally the most expensive purchase in one's life, it is highly recommended that you read them as well.
The Offer process
After the weekend, you can expect the sellers to have set a specific offer deadline, usually the evening of the following Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. This means that any interested parties must have their offer in by the specified time at which point the seller will review all of the offers with their agent.
how do i keep my offer competitive?
Unfortunately for buyers, it has become very common to be competing against 3 or more offers. In order to keep yours on the top of the pile, having minimal or no subject conditions will prove advantageous. Reviewing the above, buyers are able to mitigate risk by: having read all documents in advance to ensure they are buying into a sound building, being pre-approved for a mortgage for an amount above their offer price, and being thorough when viewing the property for any visible defects or causes for concern. If you are opting to submit a subject free offer, enclosing a copy of your deposit will also strengthen your offer. Finally, it is important to keep in mind that sellers are often advised to underprice their homes in anticipation of offers above asking price.
Although the purchase process can be stressful and a little more rushed than ideal, putting your best foot forward by doing the legwork beforehand will go a long way to achieving a successful property purchase. As well, it is important to remember that you are not alone. A good REALTOR® will assist in guiding you through the entire process.
If you're looking for guidance through the buying process or want more information, you can email me anytime at email@example.com.
Thank you for reading,

He lives his life on his own terms, never forming romantic attachments, and only allowing his very closest to see his true, caring self. Brie Soledad has the weight of the world on her shoulders. As the staff reporter for the Assassins, she balances her high-profile job and its heavy travel schedule with being the sole provider for her adult brother with Down syndrome. Sure, she'd like to find love. But who has time for that when there are bills to pay? Brie has been the match to Vaughn's gasoline since the day she first held out her microphone to him. They strike sparks off each other, keeping their friends, the team, and the Assassins fans in stitches. Brie's refusal to fawn over Vaughn sets his teeth on edge and his blood boiling. Especially in that body part...? Brie's been let down by love before, but she knows she deserves nothing less than real, forever love. Vaughn's past has left deep, hidden scars, and there are some secrets he cannot bear to reveal. As much as Brie wants him, Vaughn may be too big a risk for her wary heart to take.

"The Real Lolita is a tour de force of literary detective work. Not only does it shed new light on the terrifying true saga that influenced Nabokov's masterpiece, it restores the forgotten victim to our consciousness." --David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon
Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is one of the most beloved and notorious novels of all time. And yet, very few of its readers know that the subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948 abduction of eleven-year-old Sally Horner.
Weaving together suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and literary investigation, The Real Lolita tells Sally Horner's full story for the very first time. Drawing upon extensive investigations, legal documents, public records, and interviews with remaining relatives, Sarah Weinman uncovers how much Nabokov knew of the Sally Horner case and the efforts he took to disguise that knowledge during the process of writing and publishing Lolita.
Sally Horner's story echoes the stories of countless girls and women who never had the chance to speak for themselves. By diving deeper in the publication history of Lolita and restoring Sally to her rightful place in the lore of the novel's creation, The Real Lolita casts a new light on the dark inspiration for a modern classic.

I gave this product three stars because there are features I like and some I don't. The case is constructed of heavy paper (cardboard) which makes it lightweight and easy to move around even when filled. Because it is paper it isn't as sturdy as other materials might make it and it can easily get twisted. One of the drawers does not sit flush when empty.
I ordered two units and one was damaged in shipping...one side tore away from the shelves. I have to say that the service department at scrapbook.com was exemplary in taking care of the issue to my satisfaction.
The supply case meets my needs and fit the space I had designated perfectly. It really is great for storing Washi Tape!
The supplied dividers are not, in my opinion, the best use of the space. They are folded cardboard that divides each drawer into five sections with approximately 1/4 inch spacer between each section. I removed all the dividers and made my own. Instead of the 1/4 inch spacer I glued the two upright pieces pieces together and was able to get six sections instead of five and of the same size as with the supplied dividers.
I bought a few of 'Totally Tiffany's' organizers for the new IKEA Kallax cubby bookcase I got for my studio renovation. I had two full plastic shoe boxes of Washi Tape. The boxes are too big to get more than the two in one of the cubbies (which by the way measure 13" x13" x15" deep) so could only fit a few paper stacks next to them to not waste too much space.
ALL the WASHI fit in ONE of the Totally Tiffany Stash and Store Storage Cases. And 3 storage cases fit nicely in a cubby. Imagine! Great product !! Thank You Tiffany!!! I can't wait to sort more supplies into the other two cases. Never was organizing so much fun.
Great idea but the slats are not blinded to hold the drawers. I want to recommend to others but they are not durable enough. I want to return but not worth the return money. So I will keep it and fix it. I did purchase all three styles. I hoped that the others were ok but not.
Love this product. Great storage solution for embellishments and tools however I would have been prepared to pay a bit more for it being made out of a stronger cardboard or chipboard/wood. Mine were slightly damaged in transit and I had to glue the shelves back in.
This five drawer supply case by Totally Tiffany is super! It fits perfectly my other Tiffany storage cases. It's perfect for almost anything. I love having this on my art table with a variety of supplies at hand. No more digging through cases and containers to find the right embellishment for my work. I also use one of the drawers for threads and bobbins. Great to pull out the drawer and choose the thread I want when sewing on cards, pages, tags etc.
This is the best storage that I have seen for washi tape or other things, I do use it for the my washi tape and it look's gorgeous!!!
I just love it!!! I haven't found it in Sweden so I order from U.S!
Buy it!!! Use it and love it!
Camilla in Sweden
This is the perfect size to hold all your wash tape! I thought I might have to buy another one because I have A LOT of washi rolls, but they all fit in the drawers perfectly and easily.
It's constructed well and is very sturdy and fits perfectly in my Ikea bookcases!
Versatility on what can be stored. Though I read a lot of reviews that the quality of the case is flimsy, I thought otherwise. As the drawers are filled, it is quite sturdy. Love how when you shut the drawer there is a magnet securing the contents from falling out. Had it for about a couple of months now and move it back and forth from my craft cabinet to my working station quite often. I also bought the coordinating Die and Platform Case, that is another case. Will comment on that respective product.
I only gave it four stars because of the size, but I still love it. It's just the right s I see for my rolls of washi tape.
Love the look, the quality and the size fits right in my Ikea shelves. Great storage for ask my washift tape.

@Technics, you might need a bigger dish or a smart LNB in order to pickup all the HD channels. We recommend that you ask an installer for advise regarding the installation https://selfservice.dstv.com/InstallationHelp/Installers?_ga=2.72814291.1986641731.1529345320-917628... .
I also have a HD PVR 2U decoder. I have exactly the same problem. My SABC 1 AND SABC 2 channels are blank screens. I have the latest LNB installed. I have one cable from the LNB into a switch and 2 cables out the switch to the decoder. Can someone please help me to resolve this issue.
Depends on the LNB you have installed if in your own home, or, if in a complex if the signal distribution system has been upgraded to pick up the transponders in use.
Please provide more detail of your install and we may be able to help.
If in a complex, approach the BC for information of the network settings required.
Getting a new decoder will not automatically solve the problem.

The Trump administration is proposing to gut the budget of the White House "drug czar" by 95 percent, effectively eliminating the decades-old Office of National Drug Control Policy, the lead federal agency responsible for managing and coordinating drug policy, according to a memo that its acting director sent Friday to agency employees.
The draft budget plan comes as the nation is struggling with an escalating opioid epidemic. Ending opioid addiction was a centerpiece of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and he drew support from many of the rural areas and small working-class towns hit hardest by the drug crisis. In March, President Trump commissioned a new addiction task force to help combat the opioid crisis, tapping his friend and former rival New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® to lead the fight.
But in an email sent to full-time employees, Richard Baum, the acting director of the office, said the administration's proposed cuts for the fiscal year that begins in October "reflects a nearly 95 percent" reduction in the agency's budget. The proposed $364 million cut would leave a budget of just $24 million and eliminate its two major programs.
Baum wrote the cuts are "at odds with the fact that the President has tasked us with supporting his Commission on Combatting Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis." He called them "drastic" and "frankly heartbreaking."
Roughly half the office's staff, or 33 full-time employees, would be eliminated, the memo said.
"That budget wouldn't pay the heating bill at the Pentagon," said Barry R. McCaffrey, a retired U.S. Army general, who headed the office under President Bill Clinton between 1996 and 2001. "It sends a terrible message. Why send this bizarre political signal in the middle of what is without question a major health-care crisis in America? It's very strange."
The projected $1 billion cost to Massachusetts of the Republican's bill to repeal and replace Obamacare would be a "difficult pill to swallow," said Gov. Charlie Baker in a statement promising to "protect Massachusetts' health care system."
Released following the House's move to pass repeal and replace legislation altering major parts of the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, the governor in his statement said he's holding out for "a different plan" that "works for Massachusetts."
"Massachusetts leads the nation in health care coverage and I am disappointed by today's vote as this bill would significantly reduce critical funds for the Commonwealth's health care system," Baker said. "As the U.S. Senate takes up this bill, we will continue to advocate for the Commonwealth's priorities so that all residents have access to the health coverage they need. Maintaining flexibility through the Medicaid program is critical to the Commonwealth's ability to provide coverage for the needy and I urge Congress to reject this bill in its current form."
Thursday's narrow House vote of 217 to 213 received no Democratic support while a total of 20 Republicans defected, casting opposing votes.
The proposed legislation faces a tough road ahead in the Senate -- where some Republican leaders have already announced plans to scrap many of its key provisions, according to The New York Times.
Baker, a former health insurance CEO, added, "There are things we can do to fix the Affordable Care Act. I have written long and fairly, some would say, wonky and nerdy letters about the things that can be done to fix the Affordable Care Act. We have had conversations with the Obama and Trump Administrations about that, my big concern today is it would cost the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $1 billion and I would like to see a different plan."
The entire Massachusetts congressional delegation has joined the governor in opposition to the Republican proposal.
In a nationwide ranking early in 2017, U.S. News and World Report ranked Massachusetts as the second-best state in the nation in overall healthcare quality and access.

Auto Industry to Expects Cut in Auto Loan Rates
Indian auto industry may expect nearly 100-150 basis point cut in the auto loan rates. The car industry has been experiencing a slump in the demand and steep decline in its sales since past few weeks. The weak economic fundamentals and high interest rates are the main reason attributed to the decline in sales. The industry expects that a cut of at least 150 basis points will boost the sales considerably. The Reserve Bank of India may announce another round on rate cut in the lending rates.
Auto makers in India are also expecting that a short term correction may appear in their negative balance sheets. However, a full bounce back is only expected by the next fiscal. The short term outlook in the auto sector look depressing but the analysts are hopeful that the auto sector will recover soon due to strengthening economic conditions in the next fiscal. The stock brokers are hopeful about companies like Bajaj, Hero Honda and Maruti but are a little wary of companies like Tata Motors and others.
Tata Motors, on the other hand, has announced a new fixed deposit scheme to raise the funds from the public. It is offering 10% interest rates to its customers for one year deposit and 10.5 percent to the senior citizens. The company has already received a raving response for its insurance and other economic policies and is hopeful to receive good response for its new fixed deposit scheme as well.

Inspiring Impact NI 'Planning for Impact Practice' Grant Recipients Announced
The Building Change Trust is delighted to award 13 voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations with Building Change Awards through the Inspiring Impact Northern Ireland Programme.
Groups from a wide range of sectors will receive funding of up to £15,000 to act as leaders for impact within their sector following on from the recent call for applications for 'Planning for Impact Practice' grants.
The successful organisations are:
- ABC Community Network
- Age NI
- Ballymoney Community Resource Centre
- Community Development and Health Network
- Holywell Consultancy
- National Deaf Children's Society
- National Children's Bureau
- Playboard
- Sported Foundation
- Volunteer Now Enterprises
- Youthnet
These organisations will be providing direct support to their members/client groups so that they are better able to understand the cycle of impact practice; assess their own impact practice; access information on impact tools and resources; and plan to apply impact practice. Community Evaluation NI will provide training for these organisations as part of its support programme, using key resources developed by the wider Inspiring ImpactUKprogramme.
These resources are:
- 'Code of Good Impact Practice' which defines and codifies what impact practice means (published June 2013);
- 'Measuring Up' an on-line interactive resource designed to assist organisations to assess their impact practice needs and inform their impact planning; and
- 'Inspiring Impact Hub' an on-line platform which provides access to a comprehensive list of evaluation resources and measurement tools, organised specifically to meet the needs of the VCSE sector.
Julie Harrison, Building Change Trust Director, who chairs the Trust's Inspiring Impact Sub Committee, said:
"The Trust is delighted to have made a significant investment in this initiative, which is ultimately about enabling community and voluntary organisations in NI, and their funders, to make more of a difference to the people and places they serve.
"We are excited to see the work these groups and organisations will carry out and look forward to seeing impact measurement and practice be enshrined in the day to day work of organisations across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector in the future".
Aongus O'Keeffe, Inspiring Impact NI Programme Leader said:
"It's great to finally get to this stage where we can provide direct assistance to VCSE organisations to support their sector to understand and apply impact practice in their work and in the process help them to better demonstrate the difference their work is having on the lives of those they are trying to help."
Projects will commence from September 2014 and will run for 12 months up to September 2015. It is hoped that this award scheme will help to widely disseminate an improved way of working in terms of how the sector demonstrates the difference it is making and the impact it is having. Learning will be documented and shared across the programme through a range of events as part of an impact exchange that will run in parallel.
Inspiring Impact is aUKwide initiative that aims to change the way that VCSE organisations and their funders think about impact and to put impact practice at the heart of their work by 2022.
The Building Change Trust as theNorthern Ireland partner on theUK board has commissioned the delivery of the Inspiring Impact NI Programme. The Trust has committed £500,000 to an initial two year programme of work from 2013, matched by a further £188,000 from the Department for Social Development, which will support VCSE organisations and their funders to better understand and embrace impact practice.

Why Follow Christ? (Luke 7:24-27)Tim Yoder, August 10, 2014
Part of the Sermon series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
|Same day:

Luke 7:24-27
24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 26But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 27This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. (KJV)

Jason's Take: May Movies ('Iron Man 3', 'Gatsby', and 'Trek')
I've been negligent when it comes to writing up reviews, but it happens. I get lost in thought and spend days or weeks mulling over films, or I get caught up with other things and put the reviews off until a later day and time. Again, it happens.
With the three films I saw in theaters in May, I left the theater mulling over each film for days at a time. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the films in their own way … but maybe a little capsule elaboration would help here.
1) Iron Man 3 (dir. Shane Black, 2013)
'Iron Man 3', for me, boiled down to a matter of expectations based on the trailers and other marketing materials and my familiarity with Warren Ellis's "Extremis" arc. I expected Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) against the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) with plenty of awesome suit tech tossed in for spectacle and style. What I got was less Mandarin, more AIM (which didn't disappoint me because AIM is now officially a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), some buddy humor, pacing and plotting inconsistencies, and not as much suit action as I was hoping for (even though it was jam-packed into the third act. Even though there wasn't a specific Extremis-style suit, the sub-dermal implants were close enough for me. There's plenty more I'd love to expand on here, but I'll link to my full review when it is uploaded to my zine's Tumblr.
Overall rating: 8.0 out of 10 (better than 'Iron Man 2', but a little below 'Iron Man' and 'The Avengers')
2) The Great Gatsby (dir. Baz Luhrmann, 2013)
Where, oh where to begin with 'Gatsby'? I was initially hesitant when news broke that it would be shot in 3D. "Wait, it's a literary adaptation and a drama … so why is 3D necessary?" And then the gaudy and overblown trailers with anachronistic music and clearly computer-generated effects began dropping; needless to say, when the time came to see it with friends, my expectations were in the crapper. After seeing the film, they were slightly elevated, if anything, by the production style, costumes, and soundtrack, regardless of how anachronistic the tunes were. However, the film resurrected the superficial characters of the classic high school novel, and I couldn't help but hate Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) for his fantasy obsession with Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and Tom (Joel Edgerton) for his hypocritical class attitudes and manipulation of George Wilson (Jason Clarke). The framing unnecessarily dragged out the first half hour of the film, and the effect of the floating words and narration took me out of the experience of watching the film. However, one of the best original touches was the firework-back-lit reveal of Gatsby to undertones of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".
Overall rating: 6.0 out of 10
3) Star Trek Into Darkness (dir. J.J. Abrams, 2013)
Ah, 'Star Trek'! I loved J.J.'s 2009 reboot and was eagerly anticipating the sequel with baited breath, constantly checking film blogs for theories as to the plot and who Benedict Cumberbatch was playing, so the bar was pretty high going in … and I was overall pleased with how the alternate timeline is handling original Trek canon and how Abrams and crew played with expectations and knowledge of the Original Series films, especially since I read the prequel graphic novel. The cast was great across the board despite adhering to some of the character tropes here and there, especially Scotty (Simon Pegg). Really, who doesn't love a Scottish engineer … or Simon Pegg for that matter?
Despite tossing a bit of the scientific accuracy (no sound in space, etc.) from the first film, the action ante was certainly upped and afforded some shiny fast-paced moments. And despite Abrams's working to make the films more accessible to today's audiences, the heart and some hints of the philosophical nature of the original series still shone through.
Overall rating: 8.5 out of 10

Consumer Confidence - US
Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment US
The Deteriorating Trend Set to Continue for UoM Consumer Sentiment
Starts Friday, October 11, 2019 at 14:00
Updated Friday, October 11, 2019
The US consumer sentiment has been on a slowly declining trend. The UoM consumer confidence peaked above 100 in September. Although, in December it posted a steep decline of around 7 points, from 98.75 to 90.7 points. That might be a result of the US government shutdown which was the longest in history, leaving around 800,000 federal workers without a paycheck. Although, the confidence grew in February to 95.5 points, which was revised down to 93.8 points. This month though, UoM consumer confidence jumped higher to 97.8 points from 93.8 points. The sentiment deteriorated a bit further in June, but it May it improved slightly coming at 100 points. But the weakening trend resumed and in August we saw a big fall to 92.1 points, which was revised lower to 89.8 points in September. The number for September on the other hand was revised higher from 92.0 to 93.2 points. But, this month the declining trend is expected to resume again and this indicator to fall at 92.0 points. Please follow us for live coverage of this event by experienced market analysts.

On Mahal sits a palace surounded by luscious gardens where the smell of the flowers is intoxicating and the peacocks roam freely. This is Maya's home. At night, when the peacocks have quieted and the flowers gently perfume the air; as the rest of the palace sleeps, Maya loves to walk in the garden. Quiet. Serene.

Hi everyone,
Dani Alves, by eating the banana thrown at him by a Villareal "fan" built more awareness about racism in football than any marketing campaign.
I often point out that close to nothing is done to efficiently fight racism, homophobia and antisemitism in football. Words from football leaders are not often followed by concrete action. A few weeks ago however, CBF deducted 9 points from Club Esportivo whose fans racially abused the referee, leading to the relegation of the Brazilian club.
Following the incident with Dani Alves, Villareal said in an official statement that the author got identified and permanently banned from ever step foot at Madrigal Stadium. In my yesterday article I mentioned how easy it actually is to spot someone's inappropriate behaviour in a stadium, apprehend him and take action against him. I got an ego boost to notice that I was not wrong!
CBF and Villareal actions show that when clubs and Confederations want to take drastic measures, they do. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said that FIFA will not tolerate racism at World Cup. Good to hear, now we want to see actions and sanctions, but not only at World Cup.
Back to Dani Alves.
Since yesterday, many players, football fans, or just random individuals, took pictures of themselves eating banana with the hashtag #weareallmonkeys. Is this the best marketing campaign against racism? Is this the best awareness of racism in football ever? I believe so.
Yesterday I was reading an article of my friend Stan Phelps (9 INCH marketing) about the future of Marketing. He outlines that the future of Marketing is a little less campaign, a little more action. Once again Stan, you hit the nail on the head!!
There has been marketing campaigns to fight racism in football. Has racism declined? no.
Kickitout (a UK based independant charity organisation who aims at kicking racism out of football) reported a 43% increase in discriminatory remarks being posted on social medias last year.
Monkey chants towards black players have not stopped neither have bananas throwing at them. Despicable homophobic comments have also not been eradicated.
So action needed to be taken, and #weareallmonkeys is just that. Players, people taking action. We marketers spend so much time thinking of new marketing concepts, present, activate, measure etc. How about a Dani Alves approach? A little less campaign, a little more action?
Take a look at the following pictures. My favourite? Prandelli!

Public disco locations
Step into our events & experience public space in a whole new way, animated with music, decor and friendly faces. In a time when social isolation and loneliness are known obstacles to health and happiness, free public events are an important avenue for folks to connect with both each-other, and their city. By activating public space with dynamic social events we hope to start conversations around the important role that these spaces play in bringing people together and providing a gateway into local arts and culture.
7 1/2 LAne
This is one of the many lanes that has been transformed by Vancouver Mural Festival (VMF) over the past few years in Mount Pleasant. In August of 2019 we co-produced a multiday day festival with VMF. Working with neighbouring businesses, we transformed the auto-oriented spaces into people places by celebrating street art, bringing in international music talent, and designing an intentional beer garden.
The Chain & Forge
A new public space under the Granville Street Bridge: "The Chain & Forge" is named after the Canada Chain & Forge Factory that operated on this site during Granville Island's industrial era. The plaza is a gathering place to enhance social connection through diverse outdoor programming, temporary structures, installations, pop-ups and workshops.
Alley Oop
Located just off Granville & Pender St, Alley Oop is a colourful laneway transformed by the Downtown BIA and HCMA Architecture + Design to help provide a new space for social interaction and play in the heart of the city.
šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square
Located on the north side of the Vancouver Art Gallery is a newly renovated plaza designed by Vancouver firm Hapa Collaborative. Acknowledging the colonial legacy of naming in Vancouver the pnaming process for this plaza sought to return decision-making to the original inhabitants of this land and bring more visibility to the local Indigenous languages and cultures.
UBC Student Nest Plaza
We teamed up with Utown UBC to produce their first annual pride celebration in the plaza outside the AMS Student Nest. The Nest is a student-centered hub of activity, providing a welcoming space for all students to eat, shop, study, and socialize.
mount pleasant laneway
Located behind Main & Broadway is a colourful laneway layered with art from the cities annual mural festival. Learn more about Vancouver Mural Festival here.
Ackery's Alley
Another #moreawesomenow laneway transformation by the Downtown Vancouver Business Association in collaboration with HCMA Architecture & Design. The laneway features a red carpet inspired floor with psychedelic walls and an interactive art installation by renowned international artist, Alex Beim, of Tangible Interaction.
Jim Deva Plaza
Located in the heart of Vancouver's Davie Village, next to the rainbow crosswalks at Davie and Bute Streets, Jim Deva Plaza is a community serving gathering space and home to a variety of events and activities. The plaza is named after Jim Deva, longtime community activist, founder of Little Sister's Book and Art Emporium, and advocate for Vancouver's LGTBQ2+ community.
Hamilton street patio
We partnered with the Yaletown BIA to add some new energy to their annual Candytown Festival. An empty patio space on Hamilton Street made for the perfect covered dance-floor.
The Beaumont Studios
Art nucleus, venue, gallery. The Beaumont is an alternative arts space location in the industrial area of Mount Pleasant. Over the years, the venue has expanded and grown, with events spanning from disco nights to artisan markets. We used the space in collaboration with Transformation Projects for the annual Sparkle Party extravaganza. Visit our event page to learn more.

PPARG Binding Landscapes in Macrophages Suggest a Genome-Wide Contribution of PU.1 to Divergent PPARG Binding in Human and Mouse:
by Sebastian Pott, Nima K. Kamrani, Guillaume Bourque, Sven Pettersson, Edison T. Liu
Genome-wide comparisons of transcription factor binding sites in different species can be used to evaluate evolutionary constraints that shape gene regulatory circuits and to understand how the interaction between transcription factors shapes their binding landscapes over evolution.
We have compared the PPARG binding landscapes in macrophages to investigate the evolutionary impact on PPARG binding diversity in mouse and humans for this important nuclear receptor. Of note, only 5% of the PPARG binding sites were shared between the two species. In contrast, at the gene level, PPARG target genes conserved between both species constitute more than 30% of the target genes regulated by PPARG ligand in human macrophages. Moreover, the majority of all PPARG binding sites (55–60%) in macrophages show co-occupancy of the lineage-specification factor PU.1 in both species. Exploring the evolutionary dynamics of PPARG binding sites, we observed that PU.1 co-binding to PPARG sites appears to be important for possible PPARG ancestral functions such as lipid metabolism. Thus we speculate that PU.1 may have guided utilization of these species-specific PPARG conserved binding sites in macrophages during evolution.
We propose a model in which PU.1 sites may have served as "anchor" loci for the formation of new and functionally relevant PPARG binding sites throughout evolution. As PU.1 is an essential factor in macrophage biology, such an evolutionary mechanism would allow for the establishment of relevant PPARG regulatory modules in a PU.1-dependent manner and yet permit for nuanced regulatory changes in individual species.

The good news is that you'll be able to play many of your favorite games on the PlayStation 4. The bad news is that emulated games aren't free and Sony will want you to buy them again. Perhaps there will be a way to play old PS2 games sometime in the future.
