Who Knew It Could Be So Hard? (To Brew)
If you follow sports you may be familiar with the concept of irrational confidence guys. These are the players who will dribble up to just inside the half-court line and launch a three-pointer, or call their shot before the pitch comes, or throw the ball into triple coverage, without any record of success. These players want the ball with the clock winding down despite their obvious shortcomings. I won't speak for Connor, but when we decided to home brew some beer, I was one of those irrational confidence guys. I thought, "How hard can it be?" It turns out the answer was: harder than I imagined.
We decided to test out our new Craft-A-Brew Kit on an overcast Saturday. The kit came with all the goods to brew, and store, our beer as well as the ingredients for a pale ale based on a legendary offering from Stone Brewing. Or so we thought. We realized as we put together our fermentation tank and reviewed the instructions that we were brewing five gallons of beer, and did not have a pot remotely that big. Not to be deterred we hopped into Connor's Jetta and headed to the local homebrew store for a 10-gallon behemoth that would barely fit on the stove. With the proper materials now at our disposal we began the brewing process with relative success. We properly steeped the first-round of grain for 20 minutes, added the malt extract and were ready to start hopping. In an effort to get all the hops in there, James picked up the up hop packet that Connor had set aside, and feeling a bit of extra weight, shook the packet over the boil, with the top of the wrapper Connor had ripped off, falling directly into the pot. The next five or so minutes was spent fishing out unwanted wrapper from our beer, so disaster averted! It turns out that was the beginning of a comedy of errors.
After our initial wort brewing the next step was to cool the wort to a temperature that yeast can survive in. We were fully prepared with 4 pounds of ice to put in the bathtub with our pot to cool off the wort until it was between 65-72 degrees. Well, cooling our 5 gallons of boiling wort with 4 pounds of ice is a little like using a toothbrush to clean your apartment; you can still get it done, but you're definitely underprepared. The 4 pounds of ice in the bathtub practically disappeared as soon as the steaming pot entered the bath. Without the ice, the cool bathwater was all we had to bring the wort's temperature down. The wait was excruciating and the wort took about 45 minutes to get down to a temperature appropriate for our yeast.
Finally, after waiting through all of that, it was time to pitch our yeast into our primary fermenter. After pouring our beer into the fermenter, the liner of the lid for our fermenter fell out of the lid. Our confidence all but crushed, we put the lid on and let the liner live in the beer, hoping it was sanitized enough to have no effect on the taste.
Our irrational confidence was surely shaken by our experience brewing beer. However, one month later we had a malty but bitter beer that was drinkable if not mildly enjoyable to those who tasted it. Our first experience in brewing certainly included many obstacles and mistakes but we learned that making a beer can be done by just about anyone, making a good beer is hard, and making an excellent beer is rarefied air reserved for those who spend their time working through their own challenges. We're confident batch two will be the best beer ever.

The force launched an investigation into comments left on its Facebook page in response to articles about the Operation Shelter scandal, in which young white British girls in were groomed, sexually abused and trafficked by mostly Muslim men of South Asian descent in Newcastle.Officers made a review of every comment on the page after a member of the public complained that a number of posts referred to the race and religion of the 18 people convicted following the operation.ChronicleLive reports that police recorded two cases of racially aggravated public order offences among responses to the news articles on Facebook, and have now tracked down six people responsible for posts "deemed to be offensive and potentially criminal".A spokesman from Northumbria Police said: "As a result of a complaint, we can confirm we looked into a number of comments posted on the force's Facebook page."Following an investigation, which has now concluded, we spoke to two males as voluntary attenders and visited a further four people in their homes, and provided them with words of advice."All expressed their remorse and stated that the intention of their comments was not to cause concern or to be offensive and have acknowledged the words of advice provided."The spokesman added: "We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people using social media that they should do so responsibly and ensure they do not post anything which could be considered offensive."…

Editor's Note: Looks like a very hefty load out, but you'd be prepared for most… If you had to, I feel like you could ditch/swap one of the lights out, as the LD10 and L2D are virtually the same light but with different runtimes/brightness.. You might find more versatility in a keychain light with a different beam profile, tint, method of activation, etc. The two Fenixes seem redundant as a primary/backup set. Otherwise, nice carry — the Douk-Douk and kubotan look neat and all that color is less threatening while offering visibility. Thanks for sharing~

Real Talk: Words of Wisdom from a Blogger
Life lately (sigh). So much going on and so many things I have put on the back burner over the past few months -- including the blog! I think summer has its way of placing you in its grasp and thrusting you to a place filled with whirlwinds of plans. In a way, its not really a bad thing, but on the other hand, it has consumed me to a point of exhaustion. Sometimes we need to let ourselves take a break and relax. To take a step back from the mundane and petty day-to-day and sometimes even a back step from the more fun ventures in order to breath deeper and calm the soul. I'm not writing this to say I've achieved this "soul-calming" step, but I feel I need to.
I started this blog (and my Instagram) as a creative outlet. I didn't want it to become a job or a source of stress in any sense. And it sort of became that for a few months there. Its easy to get caught up in the "grow, Grow, GROW" mentality that so many other bloggers have and things start feeling like a competition so easily. Even when I meet new people, sometimes I just feel like people are fake, fake, fake! Don't get me wrong, I have an extremely tight knit group of blogger friends from around the country that are SO not just "blogger friends" anymore. (More on them later this week). And locally, there is really fabulous group of people I've come to meet that share my mentality of being real and authentic and honestly, that's what's kept me going.
It's always going to be a battle to try to be better, more perfect, prettier, have more clothes, take more pictures, have a bigger following and to that I just need to understand that its how I deal with that reality and how I let it affect me that will have the most impact on my self-being. It is absolutely, 100% a conscious effort to not compare yourself to others or rate your self-worth on how many "likes" or "followers" you have in this day and age. It sounds so self-deprecating when I type this out, but seriously, I have to subconsciously talk myself out of thinking less of myself from time to time. Its insane how silly it has all become.
I find I constantly need to remind myself that I embarked on this journey because it makes me happy. Does it still make me happy? Yes. Why? Let me count the reasons:
- I've met the most incredible friends all over the country that share my passion
- I've had the opportunity to collaborate with companies and organizations I LOVE
- I have a reason to dress flashy (as if I wasn't before - haha)
- I can convey my inner-creative self
- It's a great conversation-starter
- I get to play dress-up whenever I want!
- I can connect with people
- It's allowed me to have more faith in myself
When I look at the list above, I smile. I wouldn't trade this endeavor for anything and am grateful I had the courage to keep going even when it felt like too much work. What I want to end on is this...I don't have a magic ball that shows me my future. I could wake up a month from now and realize that the pressure is too much or the excitement I once got out of blogging is over - I sure hope that never comes, but I will say to myself now, thank you. Thank you for pushing yourself, for getting out of your comfort zone, for following your passion. My greatest hope is that through this, I've encouraged someone to follow what they're passionate about. Take that leap!! Even if you fall, the entire way down is a load of fun and you'll learn a heck of a lot about yourself along the way.
Until next time. XO, SarahRileyRose

AFM full doctrinal statement
Our main statement of faith is core Christian belief as listed on under our About US/ Our Faith menu of this site But leadership of AFM Ministry holds to a more full doctrinal statement as seen in this document. We understand that there is room for differing interpretations in what we consider the "non-essentials". Consequently, it is possible to be a member of "the Church" even though you may not agree with the full doctrinal statement of AFM . We welcome all members of the Body of Christ to join with us in prayer and support of our mission to fulfill the call of Christ, but those seeking closer working partnerships, or to be missionaries working with us more than a short couple weeks, must also closely align and affirm these beliefs also. This helps us work with greater unity and less pitfalls along the way.

The Board of Finance (BOF) held a special meeting on June 21, where they voted to restore funding that had been cut in the town budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017. The board unanimously approved the restoration of more than $400,000 in funding for the general town government and Board of Education (BOE) budgets.
BOF Chairman John Leary said the board is still trying to anticipate how Southington will be affected by state level cuts, while providing the necessary funding for the town and BOE to move forward this year.
"The Town Council made significant cuts and we are restoring a significant portion of it, but not all of it, because there is still uncertainty about the state," said Leary. He explained that while the board is aware that the state has made a $20 million cut in funding to municipalities, they are still unaware of where the cuts will hit.
Leary said the board was restoring funds cut by the council in May, "when we thought the cuts would be much deeper."
Five appropriations were approved unanimously.
The council held a special meeting the following day to approve these appropriations, which include $525, 917 in Board of Education operations funding, $371, 454 in the capital budget for a fire truck, $200,000 for regular wages for the Southington Police Department, $50,000 for highway overtime, and a $58,209 contingency.
The funding is being appropriated with revenues to match, so there will be no effect on the mill rate.
On June 21, the BOF also approved the Tax Collector's Tax Suspense List, and made several funding transfers and appropriations as part of an annual exercise called "harvesting," said Town Manager Garry Brumback.
Leary referred to 16 transfers and appropriations as "year end geography," where the BOF transfers funds to closeout the fiscal year.
Essentially, the board moved money left over from the 2015-2016 FY budget to spending needed in the 2016-2017 fiscal year budget. The 16 proposed transfers were approved 6-0, they included funds transferred to parks renovations, repair and replacement of sidewalks, and information and technology hardware that the town can pay for with cash, rather than bonded funds.
Overall, the board utilized $1.7 million for the capital improvement program, and $85,000 for the heritage fund. Brumback said that due to responsible and frugal financial management, the town met their harvesting goal.
"This is our annual commitment to this board, in return for funding us what we feel is appropriate," said Brumback. "If we do generate any extra revenue, we apply it directly to offset some of the expenses associated with the capital plan."
In an assessment of the financial state of the town, Director of Finance Emilia Portelinha reported that the town utilized most budget overages, and she does not anticipate large shortages anywhere in the budget.
During a Town Council meeting on June 27, Brumback informed the council that Southington's "revenues and expenses tracked fairly well."
During the council meeting, Councilor Tom Lombardi (R) said he was happy to hear that "we are able to harvest that money and they're not just spending it on things they don't need," and thanked the BOF and department heads for their work on the budget.
The BOF was also celebrated by the Government Finance Officers Association, in Chicago, Ill., for the 25th annual year. Portelinha has been given a Certificate of Achievement in Excellence in Financial Reporting.
"To us as a board and to the citizens of Southington, this should mean that we're doing things, we're working hard, and we're doing them right," said Leary.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Merrill Lynch upped its rating on Nucor Corp. NUE, +4.92% steel maker to a buy, citing steel demand. The company "should continue to benefit from higher steel demand in the second half of 2004 and into 2005 as we now have more confidence that surcharges will offset the volatility in scrap prices," the broker noted. Steel shipments are up 12 percent in June vs. the year ago period, it said.

Whistles. TREND FORECASTNG. Adidas. Adidas was founded in 1948 by Adolf Dassler, following the split of Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik between him and his older brother Rudolf.
Rudolf later established Puma, which was the early rival of Adidas. Registered in 1949, Adidas and Puma are both currently based in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The company's clothing and shoe designs typically feature three parallel bars, and the same motif is incorporated into Adidas's current official logo.[4][5] The company revenue for 2012 was listed at €34.48 billion.[2] History[edit] An Adidas Store Conflicts[edit] Christoph Von Wilhelm Dassler was a worker in a shoe factory, while his wife Pauline ran a small laundry in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach, 20 km (12.4 mi) from the city of Nuremberg.

No tiene que ver con seguir al resto de la manada, o decirle a otra persona qué llevar. Kanye West Model Contract Yeezy New York Fashion Week. KANYE WEST's Yeezy show has ruffled more than a few feathers at New York Fashion Week.
Having announced when it would take place just five days in advance - upsetting two other designers, Anne Bowen and Naeem Khan, who were scheduled to show at the same time -rumours have today emerged that he angered the models who walked for him by asking them to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Related Show "Kanye's hacked off some really high-profile models by asking them to sign the agreement, particularly because it stated that he could sue them for up to $10million if they spoke out about him," a source told The Mirror of the NDAs, which allegedly prohibit the signees from talking about the collection, Kim Kardashian West and her family, and the designer himself. "He's not considered a great talent - everyone knows his show is just a media frenzy, so some girls would rather not be associated with him," continued the source.
Kanye West Leaves Nike for Adidas and a Reported $10 Million. Kanye West has reportedly closed a $10 million deal with Adidas after severing his creative partnership with Nike.
Last week in an interview with Hot 97, the man behind SPIN's Album of the Year explained that Nike had failed to offer him decent royalties on his Air Yeezy shoe, while in his recent Barclays rant he said the iconic brand had also delayed the release of his new Red Octobers in order to convince stores to order additional less-desirable stock. ADIDAS – The Quest for becoming the Number One in Market. Introduction: Adidas Group is the number second in producing sports footwear, accessories and apparel.
The Company has been operating in this market for over 80 years and has a tradition of providing its customers high quality, innovative and technically sound products. The Adidas products are widely available all over the world and sports men all over the world love the products of Adidas. According to Adidas , it follows a very simple strategy to operate in the market for example they increase the strengths and features of their products to improve their differentiation with respect to competitors and to earn revenues and profits (Adidas Official Website). The company has been operating the sports apparel market for over 80 years. This law essay is an example of a student's work.
Analysis - Adidas marketing push an uphill battle against cool Nike. BERLIN Sportswear firm Adidas (ADSGn.DE) probably thought it had hit the marketing jackpot when Adidas-sponsored Germany beat Adidas-sponsored Argentina to win the Adidas-sponsored World Cup.But arch rival Nike (NKE.N) may have stolen much of its soccer branding thunder with quirky videos, innovative boots and amusing Tweets, not to mention the odd sponsorship coup of its own such as signing up hosts Brazil.Adidas said it had secured "victory on and off the pitch" at the soccer tournament, providing the highest-scoring boots and generating 22 percent more discussion on social media than Nike.
But more than half the players displayed Nike's brightly-coloured shoes and it was one of Nike's new lightweight "Flyknit" boots worn by Germany's Mario Goetze that volleyed in the winning goal. Adidas Group - Magazine. How Adidas Is Learning To Be More Like Kanye. Brash.
Opinionated. Egotistical. Atonal. Polarizing. Irresistible. And Adidas, the German-run athletic wear company known for its bland European appeal, is refocusing its efforts through the lens of all things American. "The biggest thing for me is that [consumers] will have to make a conscious decision that they're part of this brand," says Brian Foresta, head of basketball design at Adidas. A New Leader In a call with investors last March, Adidas CEO Herbert Hainer appeased nervous shareholders with a futuristic vision of the company.
At the heart of this plan sits Paul Gaudio, the company's 10-month-old global creative director. "My personal feelings, being an American and having spent lots of time working professionally in this market, it's really where things start," Gaudio tells Co.Design.

My first time in New York was the definition of short and sweet. NY was not even really on my initial agenda, but I had a bit of time in Toronto and learnt that New York was only about an hour's flight away, so I was determined to make it happen.
I only took my little backpack with me; one pair of jeans, one pair of boots, and to my luck landed in absolutely torrential rain. It didn't stop me wandering the streets for about 20 straight hours, but it did mean I had no dry clothes to change into once I got back to my Air BnB, and ended up with my pants and shoes hanging in front of a fan trying to make them dry enough to put back on.
I think I was in the city for maybe 3 hours before I started looking into how much rent was — it really does steal your heart.
Seeing as I only spent two and a half days in NYC, I don't feel particularly equipped to give recommendations, but I can say that I loved everything I did. From truffle-parmesan fries, to corn on the cob and mac & cheese at Miss Lily's, to living out my Chef's Table dreams and getting a slice of Crack Pie at Milk Bar. I even loved things that weren't food actually, like pretending I was living in an episode of Friends and the unexpected abundance of Australian Shepherds I saw.
Although the rain did mean a couple of my tourist-dreamz didn't come together—a walk through central park was not super leisurely, and my hopes of taking a classic skyline pic from Top Of The Rock were cancelled when the visibility was too poor to go up, I still felt that big life magic. I can't wait to go back for long enough to actually immerse myself for a while, but for now, it's this summary and a 35mm/iPhone documentary combo.

There was a young man in a thong,
Who was incredibly strong,
When lifting a weight,
Up nice and straight,
It snapped and showed his ding dong.
By Dr Geebers
This blog has been set up to show Dr Geebers poetry rhymes. I am a man who was homeless and set out to change my life around creating poetry rhymes and creating Loose pebble sculptures on U.K. pebble beaches. I did the most unbelieveable journey ever and thats walk 6800 miles, created loose pebble sculptures and mosiacs on 40+ beaches, moving around 2000 tonnes of pebbles/stones to write a book about my journey. With the proceeds going to combat homelessness.

The Church That I See
I see a Church that unashamedly proclaims 'JESUS Hope of the World'.
I see a Church that welcomes everyone HOME into a warm, loving, life giving community where you can belong before you believe.
I see a worshipping Church whose vibrant songs connect us to the Heart of God.
I see a Church where buildings struggle to contain the increase.
I see a Church committed to raising, training and empowering the next generation who will go from this place and change the world.
I see a church empowered by the Holy Spirit, where God uses ordinary people – The Dream Team – to accomplish the extraordinary.
The Church that I see has Christ at the centre, Jesus is made famous and God gets all the glory.
I see a Church which is a HOME for the broken, a refuge for the lost and a place of healing for the sick.
I see a Church that champions the cause of the local church in our city, our nation and around the world.
I see a multi generational Church so young at heart that people from all walks of life find a place of acceptance and family.
I see a Church where the impossible becomes possible, through a life-giving atmosphere of expectancy and faith.
I see a Church whose head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit and whose focus is the Great Commission.
The Church that I see could well be our Church, SOUL Church.

In cooperation with MARINA KAMPKA and CRAIG LEONARD.
"The whole thing stated on 1.5.2014, when we all saw and met each other for the first time. Craig Leonard was giving a workshop here at the HfG." This meeting marked the starting point of a communication and connection between two cities, Offenbach (DE) and Halifax (CA). During the workshop, which similarly to FdjT had dealt with questions regarding the Luxus movement, Lisa Hopf and Marina Kampka received the open call for the festival. Shortly thereafter, Leonard returned to Halifax, Canada, and the communication shifted from the physical to the virtual realm. The circular connection of the three protagonists gave rise to an interaction under the premise of artistic production. Yet through the intensification of the exchange and process of getting to know one another, they increasingly questioned their project as well as their own goals. It was no longer the output that dominated their exchanges, but rather the mutual input. The result was no longer dominating the discussions, but the process itself and the accumulation of material objects, such as lists, books, music videos, or drinks. Hopf, Kampka and Leonard reveal this process and thereby also the artistic practice of the exchange of ideas and ongoing self-questioning. Their work "What Happens in Offenbach stays in Halifax" also referee to the title of FdjT "What Happens in Offenbach Stays in Offenbach.", however, gives it another dimension in that it connected georgraphical and virtual spheres. It describes the current state of an ongoing process, but particularly bears witnesses to artistic potential."

Have you ever heard of peroneal tendonitis? If you're an athlete or an active runner, odds are that you have not only heard of it but possibly experienced it. The result is going to cause pain and swelling in the ankle
You have tendons that run along the outside of your ankle and behind the fibula. These tendons connect themselves to the bone and exert force through the joints. These are called the peroneal tendons.
If you participate in an activity that overworks them (like running in a marathon or any activity that needs consistent ankle motion), they can swell up on you and cause pain and tightness around the affected areas. This includes discomfort on the outside of the calf and below the kneecap.
How you treat the problem can vary depending on the severity of the damage. Sometimes the injuries can be acute, causing a sudden and instant feeling of discomfort. Other times, the pain could get chronic and you'll feel it continuously over time. The resulting injuries can result in inflammation or possibly acute or degenerative tears. The symptoms will include anything from pain and swelling to weakness and instability in the foot/ankle.
Some treatments can include keeping the foot inactive over a specific amount of time (by using a cast or a splint) or different forms of physical therapy. Surgery can repair the tendons and other supporting elements around the foot.
If surgery is needed, our experienced surgeons will easily be able to determine the procedure that is right for your situation. We'll be able to develop an effective rehabilitation plan that will get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
Contact NueStep or give our team a call today at 866-508-5108.

Mata Atlantica Biosphere Reserve
Mata Atlantica Biosphere Reserve is an awesome complex amalgamating almost 300 protected areas covering 112,500 square miles (291,450 km2) of critically endangered Atlantic coastal rain forest—forest which thrived 20 million years before the Amazon started flowing but now, through shortsighted cutting, 93 percent gone. Scattered remnant patches are ranked the world's second most critical tropical forest ecosystem (after Madagascar). Of 202 threatened Brazilian species, 171 are here, including tiny gorgeous golden lion tamarins, several near-extinct forest cats as well as some 1,000 orchid species.
One of these remnants is Caraça National Park, a spectacular Atlantic forest ecosystem in mountains east of Belo Horizonte, with three primates, maned wolves, and rare, endemic birds such as hyacinth visor-bearers, long-trained and scissor-tailed nightjars, Brazilian ruby hummingbirds, swallow-tailed cotingas, and gilt-edged, brassy-breasted, green-headed, and cinnamon tanagers.
Another is Caratinga Biological Station, a private reserve which takes visitors by arrangement and has one of the world's most endangered primates—also the largest primate in the Americas, the leaf-eating muriqui or wooly spider monkey—along with three other primates and over 200 rare birds including rufous-capped motmots, blue-winged macaws, flame-crested and blackgoggled tanagers, streamer-tailed tyrants, crescent-chested puffbirds, and tawny-browed owls.
Third is Brazil's oldest national park, Itatiaia, on a dramatically beautiful forested slope extending into 9,000-foot (3,000-m) cloud forests, last stronghold for such avian endemics as spot-billed and saffron toucanets, variegated antpittas, mantled hawks, Surucua trogons, blondcrested woodpeckers, and many others including a superb hummingbird array.

NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Illinois State was down by 16 against No. 21 Wichita State when Paris Lee took over.
Lee scored 13 of his career-high 19 points in the second half, helping the Redbirds rally for a 58-53 victory over the Shockers on Saturday night.
"Paris was outstanding," Illinois State coach Dan Muller said. "They really couldn't stop him in the second half."
Deontae Hawkins had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Illinois State (14-11, 8-4 Missouri Valley), which erased a 16-point deficit in the second half.
The Redbirds earned their fifth win in six games despite shooting 27.3 percent (15 for 55) from the field. Starting forward MiKyle McIntosh missed each of his 10 shots.
"This game really told the team we can compete with anybody," Lee said. "It just shows us how good of a team we can be."
Wichita State (17-6, 11-1) had won 12 in a row. Shaquille Morris and Ron Baker each scored 10 points for the Shockers, who shot 35.2 percent (19 for 54).
Wichita State had a 12-point lead at the break, and a layup for Evan Wessel and Baker's jumper made it 37-21 early in the second half.
But Illinois State used an 11-0 run to close to 38-35 on Nick Banyard's 3-pointer. Banyard had a tying dunk with 10:11 to go and Hawkins' 3-pointer lifted the Redbirds to a 44-41 lead.
Lee made four big foul shots in the final three minutes, and the Illinois State crowd stormed the court to celebrate when it was over.
"It didn't feel real," Lee said of the crowd's reaction. "It was fun. It's dangerous, but it's fun."
The Redbirds went 22 for 26 at the free-throw line, compared to 9 for 15 for the Shockers. Illinois State also enjoyed a 46-35 rebounding advantage.
"They got to the foul line way too many times," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said.
DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell had 12 points and nine boards for Illinois State.
Wichita State: The Shockers went 6 for 27 from 3-point range. Baker was 1 for 7 from beyond the arc, and Fred VanVleet was 1 for 6. ... Morris has scored in double figures in five of Wichita State's last six games.
Illinois State: The Redbirds have defeated a Top 25 team in each of the last five seasons.
Wichita State visits Drake on Tuesday.
Illinois State visits Evansville on Thursday.
Akoon-Purcell has scored in double digits in 24 of Illinois State's 25 games. He is averaging a team-best 14.8 points per game.

VBites Ventures has announced its second Venture investment, this time in plant-powered nutrition specialists Fit Delis.
Speaking exclusively to Plant-Based News, founders Thomas Forster and Sam Friskey explained that they were delighted to be partnering with VBites Ventures and Heather Mills and were looking forward to leveraging VBites' extensive network, 100%-vegan manufacturing facilities and pioneering food-science team to help spread the Fit Delis message worldwide.
Entirely vegan, Fit Delis nutritional products are 100% natural, entirely plant-based and do not compromise on taste or quality. Born out of a belief that everybody should be given the same opportunity to be the very best version of themselves every single day, they have created the cleanest, all-natural supplement range which is both great-tasting and packed full of healthy properties.
Speaking at the investment closing ceremony hosted at bankers Coutts & Co. in London, vegan investor Heather Mills said:
"This is a really exciting investment for me. As a gold-medal-winning vegan athlete and the holder of several world records, I know how hard it is to get the right mix of nutrition and protein from plant-based sources. It is possible, but it has always required relentless dedication and planning. What the Fit Delis team is doing to help bring 100% vegan nutrition to everybody is really worthwhile, and I am delighted to be helping them on their journey to bring vegan nutrition to everyone in the world."
VBites Ventures is a private, direct-investment portfolio established by Heather Mills, owner of VBites and a pioneering vegan entrepreneur, to assist early-stage plant-based businesses (including, but not limited to those in the food, clothing, cosmetics and toiletry sectors).
Heather is dismayed by the plight suffered by so many innovative and promising plant-based brands, in particular with the soaring costs of property and the real scarcity of 100% vegan manufacturing operations. To address this, VBites Ventures has invested heavily in its own completely plant-based factories to allow it to assist its investments in achieving their fullest potential but retaining their small-company feel and, most importantly, retaining the majority shareholding for the ambitious founders who have started them.
Fit Delis products are currently available to order directly from fitdelis.com, but coming soon to a health food store near you!

India to host international oil conference in Jan
Energy ministers from ten oil producing countries will attend an international oil and gas conference to be held in New Delhi from January 15.india Updated: Jan 04, 2007 02:31 IST
Energy ministers from ten oil producing countries will attend an international oil and gas conference to be held in New Delhi from January 15 to discuss global concerns related to the hydrocarbon sector.
The ministers are expected to resolve many international concerns related to the oil and gas industry by precipitating a collective approach toward the challenges, based on discussions among many of the OPEC oil ministers who would be attending the conference.
The conference will see oil ministers of Nigeria, Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Sudan, Romania, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Yemen participating in the conference.
The 7th International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition "Petrotech-2007" is being hosted by the Petrotech Society and organised by Oil and Natural Gas Corp under the aegis of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry.
Petroleum Secretary MS Srinivasan said that the conference would provide an opportunity to showcase India as a hydrocarbon rich country. "India is seen as a country with tremendous hydrocarbon potential. India is only an under-explored country and not under-endowed," he said.
The theme for the conference would be 'Energy, Economy, Equity, Ecology'. Several cabinet ministers, ministers of state, bureaucrats, CEOs and policy-makers will also attend the event.
Apart from the ministerial participation, a host of international oil and gas companies are going to take part in the conference. Among the companies are British Petroleum, Petrobras, British Gas, Shell, Sinopec, PDVSA, Transocean, Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Reliance.

34w5d: Caution, yes. Panic, no.
Yesterday we had another check-up with our ob/gyn. She measured the Insider on all sides during the echo and wasn't entirely satisfied with the baby's growth. Head measures right on track, but the belly and limbs measure behind. This is a sign that the baby has to prioritize where it spends the energy and nutrients it gets. Also, the Insider is a rather quiet baby, though of course I can't compare.
Basically, the doctor ordered me to stop working immediately and take lots of rest. Hopefully, this will help the Insider grow as much as possible in the coming weeks.
She also wants to see me twice a week for monitoring and keep a kick diary.
I hadn't expected that, which made me react somewhat flustered. Drop everything at work, just like that?
Then big words were spoken, like 'risk pregnancy' and 'placenta insufficiency'. The doctor wants to monitor the Insider closely. For now he or she is better off in the womb than outside. Depending on how things develop, this might change, though right now there's no reason to think it would.
In two weeks, the baby will be 'normal term' and that's what we're aiming for. Apparently, in cases like these, leaving the baby in longer (to week 38, 39 or 40) doesn't help much. Once born - and well fed - we have every reason to expect the baby to thrive, our doctor reassured us.
As we were driving to the appointment, I was thinking that fretting about epidurals and c-sections isn't so bad as worries go. Premonition? Just coincidence, I'm sure.
In a way, being ordered to quit working is a bit of a relief. Work was starting to weigh rather heavy on me, but pulling the plug early without 'just cause' wasn't something I was considering. After all, I feel fine. So fine in fact, that I'll have to watch myself not to overdo it at home either.
This morning, I went to the clinic for a long monitoring session, as requested by the doctor. Thankfully, everything looked fine. Insider's heartbeat was good, activity level sufficient and my blood pressure is good too. Next check-up is on Tuesday.

Curfew extended to two more areas in Aligarh
Two persons were injured while making a crude bomb and a woman was hurt in brickbatting in Bhojpura, Aligarh, on Monday.india Updated: Apr 10, 2006 19:00 IST
Two persons were injured while making a crude bomb and a woman was hurt in brickbatting in Bhojpura, Aligarh, on Monday. Meanwhile, the curfew was extended to two more police station areas of the town as tension brewed afresh after one of the dead in last week's violence was identified as a BJP MLA's son.
Six persons including BJP MLA KK Nirman were arrested and the district administration banned entry of political and religious leaders into the curfew-bound town as a preventive measure, officials said
In the past three days, over 170 people had been rounded up mostly for curfew violation, they said.
Police said two persons trying to assemble a crude bomb in a house in Bhojpura locality were admitted in serious condition to AMU Medical College hospital after the device went off. A case had been registered against them.
Authorities clamped curfew in localities under Gandhi Park and Banna Devi police station areas as tension brewed after City Congress City Congress MLA Vivek Bansal and about a dozen party workers were confronted by a mob at Sasni Gate.
Officials said the Congress workers were on their way to offer condolences to BJP MLA from neighbouring Sasni in Hatras district Devki Nandan Mathur after the body of the person shot dead in Baniapura locality on Saturday was identified as that of his son.
Members of both communities vent their ire on Bansal and his supporters who somehow managed to elude the stone-throwing mob, they said.

A recent Pew Research poll shows that Americans express a (perhaps not so) surprising unhappiness at the prospect of an immediate family member marrying an atheist.
The Secular Coalition of America has fired executive director Edwina Rogers, after just two years of service. Rogers has served under a cloud of controversy since her original appointment because of her previous years of service to Republican causes. Nonetheless, SCA has made great strides during Rogers' tenure. Let's hope they can find a suitable replacement soon.

An employee who signed a new contract following her employer's breach of her original contract has had her constructive dismissal claim reinstated and sent back to the tribunal to consider the unchallenged evidence that she had only continued to work in her demoted role under protest.

Recent Cases
Affirmation of contract: context, and evidence, is all

Illegal variation of staff handbook in relation to absence management procedures
An absence management policy in a staff handbook had been incorporated into employee's contracts and the employer could not unilaterally change the terms of the policy despite a variation clause seeming to give it the power to do so.

Contacting absent and sick employees
An employee was constructively (and unfairly) dismissed when her employer wrote to her while she was off sick for work-related stress, raising performance issues which weren't serious or urgent.

A disclosure of 'information' may be an allegation as well
To be protected by the whistleblowing provisions in the Employment Rights Act 1996 there must be a disclosure of 'information' - but that disclosure may also include allegations.
Kilraine v London Borough of Wandsworth
Disciplining employee for imposing religious views wasn't discriminatory
An employer's decision to discipline a Christian senior manager for imposing her religious views on a Muslim junior employee was neither direct discrimination nor harassment. The tribunal hearing the case had correctly drawn a distinction between instances where religion is the reason for the treatment and where it is merely the context.
Wasteney v East London NHS Foundation Trust
Imputing knowledge of disability
The dismissal of an employee was not direct disability discrimination as the decision maker did not know that he was disabled. The knowledge of the employer's OH adviser in relation to the employee's disability could not be imputed to the decision maker in the disciplinary process.
