Fluconazole 150 Online :: Top Quality Drugs
Fluconazole is used to treat infections caused by fungus, which can invade any part of the body including the mouth, throat, esophagus, lungs, bladder, genital area, and the blood. Fluconazole is also used to prevent fungal infection in people who have a weak immune system caused by cancer treatment, bone marrow transplant, or diseases such as AIDS.

Why would Spain want to grab a place where virtually no resident wants it?
It may be understandable that Spain wants Gibraltar, since the Rock is attached to it. I am not an expert on the Treaty of Utrecht, under which, in 1713, Spain ceded Gibraltar to Great Britain in perpetuity, but it seems odd that, in the 21st century, anyone takes seriously the claim to repossess it.
This pointless reconquista was a fixation of General Franco, the country's Right-wing dictator until his death more than 40 years ago.
Spain is now taking advantage of the Brexit process to have another go. When the view of the Gibraltarians was last sought – after a sneaky attempt by the Blair government to establish joint sovereignty with Spain in 2002 – 17,900 inhabitants voted to remain wholly...

Cebu Pacific has announced they will engage Switzerland-based IPR Conversions Ltd to convert two of the airlines ATR 72-500 passenger aircraft into freighter planes, which will make Cebu Pacific the only passenger airline in the Philippines with dedicated cargo planes.
"We will be able to offer cargo capacity that no other carrier in the Philippines can provide," said Lance Gokongwei, President and CEO of Cebu Pacific, "With the freighter aircraft, we will further support the growing needs of the logistics industry, especially as the Philippines' e-commerce businesses expand rapidly and look for faster delivery schedules." Cebu Pacific expects to receive the first of two converted aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2018.
IPR Conversions, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, is one of the leading ATR freighter conversion service providers in the world. The conversion of two of CEB's passenger ATR 72-500 aircraft into dedicated air freighters involves the installation of a large cargo door, allowing standard containers and pallets used throughout the aviation industry to be loaded.
This marks the first foray of Cebu Pacific in operating specialized aircraft to transport cargo. With a longer body to fit in more freight, an increased wingspan and more powerful turboprop engines, the ATR aircraft is ideal for expediting the transport of high-value and time-sensitive commodities such as marine products, computing equipment and even heavy machinery to various points across the country. It is suited to landing and taking-off in airports with runways less than 1.2 kilometers long—which is too short for jet aircraft. Only about one-third of the 90 airports in the Philippines can land jets.

If I Had to Tell It Again (HarperCollins, 2017) is a memoir about a daughter's difficult love for a flawed, passionate and larger-than-life father. Written in the aftermath of his death, the memoir is a tapestry of conflicting memories of clinical depression, intense togetherness, mourning, healing, and the shattering of spaces between childhood and adulthood.
The Untitled (Fourth Estate, 2016) is a historical novel set against the backdrop of the last war between the British East India Company and Tipu Sultan. It is 1798 and a young British painter, Richard Dawson, arrives on Indian shores seeking to make his fortune. Circumstances lead him to the Mysore country where he meets Mukunda, a temperamental young artist from Tipu Sultan's capital. As the two artists work together and experiment with Indian and Western styles of painting, they are drawn into a high-stakes political intrigue devised by the imprisoned women of the former royal family of Mysore and the elusive Suhasini. Soon their art will decide the outcome of the last Anglo-Mysore war.
Is it possible to be an artist without creating works of art? And if one is that artist, then is it possible to survive in an unsympathetic world which believes otherwise?
Birdswim Fishfly (Rupa Publications, 2006) explores the life and perspective of Aditi, an unconventional girl growing up in an enigmatic household where being individualistic is painful, secrets have to be protected at any cost, and love constantly plays its unseen hand. Memory and imagination unravel seamlessly in this story of a young woman's courage and ingenuity as she rediscovers her identity in a world where birds swim and fish fly.
Maya (Indialog Publications, 2003) is the story of a young girl with endless questions who lives in a house by the sea, a grandfather who talks to the dead, a legendary treasure, a mismatched marriage and a family trapped in a whirlpool of passions. The house by the sea is disturbed and something unspoken is slowly breaking its stony heart.
A gentle tale of desires, illusions and fantasy, the book is a journey into the depths of human nature.

I am an Egyptian-born Sudanese artist. My childhood was composed of two environments: the Cairene street and the Sudanese home. The relationship, and sometimes tension, between the two, strongly influenced my view of both cultures. The need to express this dual perspective led me to make art initially and has informed my work since.
My work discusses the relationship between the included and the excluded, and open dialogue on issues of identity and politics.By working with forgotten historical events and current state policies,
I raise questions of power dynamics between the individual and authority on a social and political level.
My recent work is based on research and documentation of ignored historical events, especially colonial history and rereading it from the perspective of the native.

CJ's Secret Pasta Club
CJ's Secret Pasta Club is a tiny Italian eatery in a shopfront in West End, owned by the Amirparviz family.
Locals will know the Amirparvizes from The Spaghetti House Trattoria at South Bank. CJ's Secret Pasta Club is a very different proposition to that heaving operation. It's basically a small kitchen attached to the front of their CJ's Pasta wholesale and retail operation (the Amirparvizes purchased CJ's in late 2018), the intention is something very small, very personable and very flexible.
With only 14 seats inside and a few tables outside, it definitely fits the brief. The menu is straightforward and depends on what chef Dario Milano and his team are preparing for Spaghetti House or other CJ's clients. The ingredients and sauces change, but the format stays the same: four or five different styles of pasta, with a vegetarian option and vegan pasta available also. Rotating entrees, like focaccia and arancini, are also available.
Otherwise it's BYO wine and beer in a very casual fit-out of a few tables, mix-and-match chairs, candles and ceramics by Anna Markey.

$12 general admission only through Thursday, October 18
$8 for students and seniors only through Thursday, October 18
$15 general admission
$12 for students and seniors.
A project of Contemporary Dance Theater, Performance and Time Arts (PTA) is Cincinnati's longest-running performance art series showcasing new work in dance, music, theater, spoken-word and multi-media. In the laboratory setting of the 1890s College Hill Town Hall, both seasoned and emerging artists share innovative work and experiments with Cincinnati audiences.
The first installment of the Performance and Time Arts 2012-13 series takes place October 19 and 20 at College Hill Town Hall, 1805 Larch Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45224. Both shows begin at 8:00pm.
Advance tickets may be purchased online at cdt-dance.org/pta through Thursday, October 18 for discounted rates of $12 general admission and $8 for students and seniors. At the door tickets are $15 general admission and $12 for students and seniors. Contemporary Dance Theater may be reached at (513) 591-1222.
The October program features performances by Aaron Michael Butler; Bill Donnelly; Jamey Dunham; Amanda Kurtz, Ashley Eastman and Chelsea Goettge; Paul Schuette, Zach Larabee and Matthew Gray; Troupe Shuruq; and F. Keith Wahle.
- Artistic director and founder of the nobrow.music.collective, Aaron Michael Butler will bring together his expansive view of modern music with modern dancers AMANDA KURTZ and ASHLEY EASTMAN to create a new work for PTA.
- BILL DONNELLY, a performance artist with a diabolical dance background, has now become close friends with the spoken (and sung) word. For this PTA he'll discover the changes age brings to a performer by revisiting a 20-year old movement piece.
- Poet Jamey Dunham will read prose poetry from his book, The Bible of Lost Pets (Salt Modern Poets, 2009), which was awarded the inaugural Crashaw Prize for a debut collection.
- "bound into" is a new choreographic work by Amanda Kurtz exploring the many manifestations of ties that bind people to one another. It features dancers ASHLEY EASTMAN AND CHELSEA GOETTGE.
- Musician Paul Schuette has assembled two pieces: one a work by John Cage that entails inserting objects into recorder player cartridges, performed with Zach Larabee; and the other attempts to take the tuba's sound and blend, smear and shade it in the same way a visual artist would create a charcoal drawing, performed with tubist Matthew Gray.
- Middle Eastern dance group Troupe Shuruq will perform an Egyptian cabaret piece to Layali Al Sharq (Oriental Night) and Zeina (Beautiful Woman), an original creation by the troupe members.
- F. Keith Wahle, best known to PTA audiences as a poet and performance artist, will present a very short silent film entitled "Night White," originally shot in 16mm in 1969 during his college years at the University of Cincinnati.
The Performance and Time Arts series will continue its 2012-13 season on January 18 and 19, 2013; March 8 and 9, 2013, and end with a benefit evening for Contemporary Dance Theater on April 19 and 20.

Interview: SIKALradio
After falling in love with the music on SIKALradio I knew I had to find out more. I met up with Jaydon Moller-Clarke earlier this month to discuss his new show, his love for world music and the future of radio…
How did you choose the name Songs I Know And Love?
All I really wanted to do was to show people some songs that I know and love. I want people to take those songs and then maybe they might know and love them too. I wanted to make it a collective thing, I want to get friends in and have songs they know and love as well. For me, I think that's what a radio show should be.
Why did you decide to start doing the show?
My mate Leo was starting a radio show called Planet Boom with his friends. I was in with them a few times and I thought "I want to do something like this for myself". I wanted to start because I have all this music and I just wanted people to know about music I like.
What's your earliest fond memory of listening to music?
I was listening to Manu Chao, which is this guy who makes world music, in my Dad's car. He'd picked this CD up when he'd been travelling when he was younger. That kind of spurred my love for music. But I think what got me into loving music was making music. I realised when I was younger that I'm not that musically talented but I'm quite good at chopping up stuff. I realised that I could chop up music and then make a new sample. That lead me to search for new music.
What sort of music are you making now?
I make sampled beats. I've got an MPC which is a beat making drum machine, it's just music like that. It all comes from sampling jazz really, that's where it stems from. I used to listen to a jazz track then take the bits I liked the most and put them with a drum beat. That stretched from "I like jazz" to "I like jazz influenced world music".
Is it a conscious choice to play a lot of world music on your show?
It's not a conscious choice, it's what I enjoy. I don't think there should be the term world music really because every culture should have its music and that shouldn't be put in one category. World music is a lot more authentic and more passionate a lot of the time. With world music there's often not that polish that you get with more western music.
Has being in Bristol influenced your taste in music?
My friends have shown me things, but I don't think it's affected my music taste that much. Before I lived in a small town and I didn't have the opportunity to go and see a lot of live music. I think it's confirmed my suspicions about what I thought I liked.
Where else do you discover new music?
I spend a lot of time trawling through YouTube. You can get stuff on YouTube that isn't anywhere else. I love the idea of finding something that no one else has heard. I also spend a lot of time in charity shops and record shops. A lot of the stuff in charity shops in Bristol is classical music, I'm all for classical music but a lot of the time it's a bit drab. But there's been a few time's I've picked up records that I've then really loved.
What are your hopes for the show?
I want the show to carry on the way it is. I want to continue supplying music that I think people will like. The plan really is to have features every week, of my friends or other people I've asked. I want to do nights where you go to listen to tracks that everyone loves.
How do you feel about the move from classic radio to online platforms? Do you think radio is dying?
I think radio is thriving. The internet is providing a platform which means anyone can play music, anyone can make music, anyone can listen to music and I love that. Now's the perfect time. I think there's a radio resurgence. Instead of having the expensive licensing you can just set up a radio station, like exactly what I'm doing, and just do whatever you want. I'm quite excited for the future of music on the internet.
Check out the next show on www.mixcloud.com/jaydon-moller-clarke
SIKALradio will be DJing at our first Lagoon x Inter:mission Live event this Tuesday at Pata Negra. Tickets available now www.facebook.com/events/172917900097805/

Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).
Wren's favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she's ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he's always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there's something about him she can't ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line—or she'll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she'll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.

Feedback cycles are useful concepts in biological systems, our everyday lives, and education. However, Higher Education is finding itself in something of a feedback crisis, with low student satisfaction despite high academic workload in this area. Here we explore how changing our conceptions of feedback in Higher Education could address this, and look at some positive cases of innovative feedback practice within bioscience disciplines.
This is the abstract of my article in the June 2018 edition of The Biochemist magazine from the Biochemical Society about Feedback: Completing the Cycle. You can read the article here.
My goals for this article were:
- to highlight the frequent disconnect between staff and student opinions on the quantity of quality of feedback provisions in HE
- to use the model of feedback cycles in biological systems as a tool to explaining this disconnect as a broken cycle, reducing potential for learning and growth
- to comment on how shared responsibility of feedback between students and staff could begin to help remove barriers to feedback engagement
- to showcase examples of good feedback practice in bioscience HE courses which move towards student-centric feedback cycles whilst reducing staff burden
This ties in well with my work as part of the Learning Science team, where we strive for quality feedback which is timely, targeted and consistent.
I can highly recommend the book "Feedback in Higher and Professional Education", a collection of excellent essays, research and commentary edited by Professor David Boud and Professor Elizabeth Molloy. It provided valuable insights into the key problems with feedback in HE spheres and how conceptions of feedback are changing.
I would also like to thank Dr Robert Nash, Dr Lesley J Morrell, Professor Omid Noroozi and Associate Professor Jessica Vanderlelie for taking the time to check my summaries of their important research which featured in the article.
Finally, thank you to the Biochemical Society and the editors of The Biochemist magazine for working with me on this piece for its publication.
You can read the article here, I hope you enjoy it. I would, of course, be willing to receive comments which I will of course use as feedback(!) for future articles, wherever they may be.

MINNEAPOLIS � Soft-spoken and quiet, Luke Ridnour does his job with little fanfare.
After sending the Timberwolves to a buzzer-beater victory heading into the All-Star break, the former Oregon star couldn�t help but enjoy the moment, at least for a little bit.
Ridnour hit a floater in the lane at the buzzer, capping Minnesota�s comeback from 16 points down in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Utah Jazz 100-98 on Wednesday night.
Utah�s Al Jefferson sank a jumper with Kevin Love in his face to tie the score at 98 with 7 seconds remaining.
After a timeout, Ridnour took a pass from J.J. Barea, drove the lane, and sank a high-arching runner off of one leg over Jefferson as the buzzer sounded.
�Luke knocks that down all the time,� Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. �The floater, he knows he�s got to get it off before he gets to the big guys. That was unbelievable, in traffic, getting around the guy and knocking it down. Couldn�t be happier for him.�
Ridnour said the play was for Barea to attack off the pick-and-roll, but two Utah defenders switched and took that option away, so Barea found Ridnour.
�Yeah, I thought it was going in,� Ridnour said. �To see it go in was a good feeling.�
Barea finished with a season-high 22 points and tied a career high with five three-pointers, and Ridnour added 17 points.
Paul Millsap scored 25 and Josh Howard added a season-high 19 to lead the Jazz, who lost their third straight and stumble into the All-Star break.
�It�s a tough one, just hands down,� Howard said. �That�s something that�s going to be on your mind for a little bit.�
Wolves rookie Derrick Williams converted a three-point play with 56.7 seconds left to tie the score at 93, then got fouled attempting a fastbreak layup after Love�s steal.
Williams made both free throws with 42.5 seconds left to give Minnesota its first lead since 2-0, and the Timberwolves didn�t trail again.
�I like to get put in those clutch situations,� Williams said. �I feel a little more comfortable, a little more locked in. At that point in time, I was just like, �I can�t miss these free throws.��
Gordon Hayward had a chance to tie it with 28.7 seconds to play, he but missed the second of two free throws.
Also Wednesday
Knicks 99, Hawks 82: Jeremy Lin had an easy night ahead of his toughest opponent yet, and New York tuned up for its trip to Miami by beating Atlanta. Lin had 17 points and nine assists, sitting out most of the fourth quarter.
Carmelo Anthony scored 15 points in his second game back from injury for the Knicks, who won for the ninth time in 11 games since Lin joined the rotation.
Bulls 110, Bucks 91: Carlos Boozer scored 20 points, Derrick Rose and Luol Deng each added 16, and Chicago beat Milwaukee for the seventh straight time.
Thunder 119, Celtics 104: Russell Westbrook scored 31 points, Kevin Durant added 28 and Oklahoma City beat Boston for its 11th straight win at home.
Magic 108, Nets 91: Dwight Howard had 20 points and 17 rebounds to help Orlando roll to victory against New Jersey. Glen Davis, who hit his first seven shots, added 16 points for the Magic, who won for the eighth time in 11 games.
Pacers 102, Bobcats 88: Tyler Hansbrough had a season-high 22 points and nine rebounds as Indiana continued its dominance of Charlotte.
Rockets 93, 76ers 87: Luis Scola had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Kyle Lowry added 13 points and two crucial three-point plays down the stretch to lead Houston over Philadelphia.
Raptors 103, Pistons 93: DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points, Aaron Gray set season highs with 12 points and 12 rebounds and Toronto beat Detroit to snap a three-game losing streak.
Hornets 89, Cavaliers 84: Chris Kaman scored 21 points, Marco Belinelli added 19 and New Orleans held off a late rallly to beat Cleveland. Cavalier rookie point guard Kyrie Irving was held to six points.
Kings 115, Wizards 107: Marcus Thornton scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half, and rookie Isaiah Thomas had 16 of his 18 after halftime to lead Sacramento past Washington.
Lakers 96, Mavericks 91: Andrew Bynum had 19 points and 14 rebounds as Los Angeles hit the halfway point of its season with a victory over defending champion Dallas.
Warriors 106, Suns 104: Monta Ellis hit an 20-foot fadeaway jumper with 1 second remaining and Golden State beat Phoenix for the first time since March 18, 2005.
Clippers 103, Nuggets 95: Chris Paul scored a season-high 36 points, Blake Griffin added 27 and Los Angeles beat Denver to snap a two-game skid in its last game before the All-Star break.

After a whirlwind Labor Day weekend in which we photographed a wedding and a multi-day music festival, we were in need of a farm stay vacation. Not wanting to travel too far away from Seattle, we found our rustic getaway in nearby Sedro-Woolley. Located just a short hour and a half (65 miles) north of Seattle, Sedro-Woolley is a sleepy town that we re-discovered during our prior weekend adventure to find Taylor Shellfish oyster heaven. We fell in love with the area so much during that trip that we decided to search for a farm stay in the area. That is how we happened upon Hoehn Bend Farm.
About Hoehn Bend Farm
A 30-acre working farm, Hoehn Bend Farm is run by Jean and Terry, two retired Washingtonians who currently love working on the farm raising their herd of heritage Irish Dexter cattle. In addition to the cattle, Jean and Terry also keep a handful of fluffy Shetland sheep that love to have their chins scratched. There is also a very curious and sociable pot bellied pig who, we learned, is actually among the cleanest animals on the farm.
The newest additions to the farm are 3 miniature donkeys that you'll want to bring home with you! Unlike large donkeys, these miniatures are like oversized dogs--they love affection and keep their braying and stubbornness to a minimum. A flock of hens also call the farm home; every day, they ride the chicken transport to move from their indoor coop to an outside coop, and vice-versa. They deliver fresh eggs regularly, and some will be available for your consumption. Head into the barn and you'll find several friendly barn cats who keep the farm's affairs in check. Lastly, the farm's lovable guardian is Maggie the collie who is full of energy and loves to run across the large expanses on the farm!
Working Farm Stay Vacations
Farm stays vacations, they provide travelers the opportunity to spend a period of time sleeping and helping out at a farm. This can be done as a volunteer arrangement, or as a form of tourism. In the case of Hoehn Bend Farm, their farm stays are geared toward tourism. Guests pay a fee to sleep in a bed and breakfast style farm house and are invited to shadow Jean and Terry during their daily chores. Jean and Terry are passionate about farm stays as a way of providing a country-side retreat for locals and visitors, and especially kids. did what we expected in that they
As one might suspect, farm chores are never the same each day. They vary according to the season and what's going on with the animals. For example, if you stop by during calving season, you might just get to see a little calf being born, or meet a herd of newborns. During our early September visit, we did see some relatively young calves in the herd, but no bonafide newborns.
Our Farm Stay Vacation
During our farm stay, we got to help out with the feeding of all the animals. We also watched as a bull was loaded onto a trailer and transported over to Hoehn Bend Farm to get acquainted with the female cows in time for mating season. Despite having been relatively close to cows before, this was my first time watching a cow roundup in action! We also had a great time going on a hayrack ride through Jean and Terry's other, older farm property. Touring this property is limited due to the on-site residences. But if you stop by at the right time, you might be lucky to get to poke around the other farm!
After a solid half day of farm action, we retreated into Hoehn Bend Farm's lovely Farm House, where we would be spending the night. I admit, I expected that we might be sharing the Farm House with Jean and Terry, but it turns out they actually live out in La Conner, so we had the entire place to ourselves!
Farm House Accommodations
The one-story Farm House was originally built at the turn of the century. It was recently remodeled with great amenities to really make you feel at home. There are 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom in the house, so it comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. The house also has lots of open communal spaces in the living room and the outdoor patio. An expansive yard with a picnic table is also nearby. I can totally imagine hosting a mini family reunion or college classmate get-together here.
Eating on the Farm
We were left with a half dozen fresh eggs, some bottled water, and an otherwise pretty well-stocked kitchen. Although food is not provided, the Farm House's huge kitchen comes with basic cooking supplies. We cooked up some store-bought food for dinner. The next morning, rose with the sun early the next morning to whip up the fresh eggs into omelettes. We enjoyed our breakfast with plums and apples picked fresh off the trees outside. What a way to start the day!
We only stayed at Hoehn Bend Farm for one night. The next morning, we fed the animals and then jetted back to Seattle via a stop in the nearby Mount Baker National Forest for a picnic lunch. Hoehn Bend Farm is a great location for enjoying not only a farm stay experience but also nearby outdoor activities. We highly recommend Hoehn Bend Farm to be experienced by anyone, especially children and families craving a quick countryside escape from the city!

Gems for the Aspiring Fashion Stylist
Gems for the Aspiring Fashion Stylist
The fashion industry is vastly emerging to one of the most desired and needed industries today. Everything nowadays is all about visuals and creating a particular "image" for the world to see. So it is no coincidence that Fashion Stylists are on the rise everywhere you turn. However, getting into the industry can be a little tricky. There are educational programs out there, but they will not provide all the tools and knowledge needed to break into the industry. There are also many articles on the web that offer great tips, which many have the same cliché tips. This article will drop some unique and amazing gems/tips that anyone looking to get into the industry should take heed to.
Decide which lane of fashion styling you want to pursue
The great and exciting thing about the fashion styling industry is that there are so many different paths to pursue that all have their own set of varying experiences, challenges & highlights. And the most exciting part is that there is good money to be made in each! Some of the different paths include Editorial, Commercial, Costume Design, Celebrity Styling, Personal Shopping, Visual Merchandising, Image Consulting and more. Doing your research on each and recognizing your strengths will help you determine which lane is a better fit for you. There are some stylists that tend to work in multiple lanes and have done a great job at being successful at it! However, I would caution you here as it's a real hit or miss. While you don't want to box yourself in, you also want to be sure to create a "niche" for yourself. Master one. Create something special that people know and respect you for.
Start from the bottom and work your way up
The fashion styling business is kind of like its own secret elite club that has its hidden gems that are only shared/known amongst those in the club. There are quite a few "Must Know" things in the fashion styling industry that can take years to learn & truly understand. One of the top things that stylists want to know is how to get access to garments. That's top trade secret babe that will not be given for free! You may get hints and tips here and there, but the best way to learn the industry is simply to pay your dues either through an internship program, mentorship or being an assistant. Inquire with other stylists in your area, that you have done your research on & respect their gift, on interning or being an assistant. While there are many classes/programs that are offered nowadays (which they do provide tons of information), they do not provide the experience. You also get to network with way more people! Try carving out time to do both.
Now when it comes to reaching out to these professionals, I want to leave you with these 2 tidbits: (1) DON'T reach out via social media. You want to be taken serious so be professional. (2) DO be intentional with your message and show interest in growing THEIR brand, not yours. A true professional & mentor will pour tons of knowledge and experience into you with PURPOSE. Catch that. With PURPOSE! They know that you aspire to be a stylist and want to be exactly where they are one day, and further! So, they are prepared to groom you, help you and direct you. However, they will not do that if your sole message is all about you, your passion and what you aspire to do. Show interest in helping them to build their brand. When they win, you win. Trust!
Hustle up your Network
Being a successful Fashion Stylist heavily depends on curating great relationships and building a bomb network. Listen, there are some stylists out there that lacks "fashion sense", but because they have such a great network and the right relationships, they are killing it! Get out there and brand yourself. Go to various events, get involved in your community, go to events outside of your state, send out emails to other likeminded professionals that you could benefit from working with. You have to get out here and literally hustle up a great network! People need to know you. They need to see you. They need to see your work and believe in your gift. Building this great network and truly crafting great relationships will help when it comes to needing garments from designers and stores as well.
Shoot as much as possible
Fashion is all about visuals. People need to see that you have an eye for fashion. Starting out, you should be shooting at minimum once a week. Whether it be of you, family/friends, models, or whomever, you should be shooting and building a portfolio. This will also help with determining my first point of deciding which lane is for you. Building this portfolio is not just for others to see your work, but also for you to study your own work. You will start to see some things that you need to improve on. You may decide that hey, maybe this lane isn't for me, let me try this lane. You'll start to learn how you want your brand to be curated, which may change over time as you really get into shooting. It also helps with your creativity. The more shoot, the more ideas you will start to form and want to try.
Study other stylists but don't compare yourself to other stylists
The biggest tip to break into the industry is to study other stylists, but not to compare & measure yourself against other stylists. You have to know who you are, appreciate your unique gift and gracefully accept the path for which you have been given. You will have days of self-doubt. You will have moments of "How in the heck did he/she snag that gig when I know…!" You get my drift. You must trust that what is for you is for you. You must trust that there is a reason for everything. You also must have patience and use those moments to make you go harder. Lastly, you must stay HUMBLE. There is room out here for all. Create your own lane and master the heck out of it.

John W Spring, 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis, 2017 Iran North Korean Venezuelan Missle Crises, Laser Net Missle Defense System of Dr Bill Deagle MD, The NutriMedical Report Show, www.NutriMedical.com, www.ClayandIRON.com, www.Deagle-Network.com,
John W. Spring
As the American whose analytic reports revealed the early stages of construction for the nuclear missile launch sites at Pinar del Rio Province where intermediate-range ballistic missiles would be deployed in northwestern Cuba that could reach within a radius of 2,200 nautical miles or at least 2,532 miles with thermonuclear warheads that could destroy all U.S. retaliatory facilities in America without any warning so that Soviet ICBMs deployed in Siberia could have devastated and obliterated the entire continental United States that would have killed 170 million American people, if I were unable to connect the pieces of that diabolical puzzle together in time, no longer would there be an America today except for a land of nuclear waste. That was in the fall of 1961.
While I was proud of my accomplishment at the age of 22 years, and very grateful for the short letter that was written and signed by President John F. Kennedy, which was followed by two more letters that were sent on behalf of the President from the Department of State and Pentagon, it also placed me with the need for mandatory secrecy in order to survive in a diabolical world that plays for keeps. So during the rest of the Cold War and beyond, I had kept a very low profile about my earlier findings, later confirmed by U-2 aerial reconnaissance flight photos that were analyzed by U.S. Naval Intelligence, which then became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Cuban Missile Crisis during October 16-28 in 1962 became a great success for JFK and also a humiliating failure for Soviet Chairman Nikita S. Khrushchev, who was not only determined to find the person responsible for uncovering his diabolical plot to "bury" America, but to also later assassinate the President of the United States who had received my report of his clandestine plan.
Because apparently it was unthinkable that an American private citizen could have analyzed such a secret plan without access to a high-ranking Soviet official, the Kremlin focused its search for spies in the former Soviet Union. Russian GRU military officer Colonel Oleg Penkovsky was arrested by Soviet KGB, severely tortured and executed on May 16, 1963. In November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Soviet KGB agents from Mexico City in Mexico that was only 811 nautical miles or 933 miles from Dallas, Texas in the United States.
So you can imagine what might have happened to me if the KGB had become aware of me and it was the reason I had to keep silent about the proudest moments of my life for staying alive. JWS

You Know You're an Adult When...
You know you're now an adult when getting a new faucet gets you really excited! Since we moved in, in September, our kitchen sink has leaked. No matter how many times we requested it be fixed, it was never really fixed. Drip, drip, drip. Our water is included in our rent, but I don't want to know how much water was wasted from that little faucet! Especially today as it is Earth Day.
It's all good news though because we indeed have a new faucet now! WOH HOH! This leads me to something else different about New York than previous places I've lived. Most of the buildings in my neighborhood are all either pre or post war. Meaning they were build either pre- before WWII or post- after WWII. Either one, most of these being build not much later that the 1950's and into the 60's. They also maintain different structural and design attributes, but the point being they are all pretty old buildings. That being said there is likely to be more up-keep. The only issue with that is, getting something fixed here is like pulling teeth!
Our management company has been alright with meeting our requests that they think are important, but for the ones that aren't priorities to them you can bet we will never have fixed while living here. So even though you may be paying an arm and a leg to live in the city, there is someone just down the block that is paying double or even triple your rent. I have a feeling they probably get their requests fixed a tad bit faster!
Nonetheless, 8 months later we have a sink that doesn't leak!

November 5, 2017
I am struggling to write this update as it was a very difficult decision to make. Oakley was a big oaf who walked into things, got stuck in the most ridiculous places and goof of a foster dog. I only had him one month but from the get go it was evident that Oakley's quirks and life were not of a typical/normal dog. He was becoming more active and doing fairly well when he had a very bad week of seizure activity. The last cluster seizures ended up with him at the dog hospital. When I got him home he was not the same dog I had had prior to the seizures. His medication was once again increased so he basically slept all the time. It was clear that the seizures and medication had taken a toll on his well-being and life. With a lot of thought, discussion amongst vets, other GRRoW members and the surrendering owners, it was decided that his quality of life was not longer there. It was one of the most difficult trips to the vet and I so wanted to turn around but it was what was best for Oakley. We went for a walk and he had a cheeseburger before we went to the vet. I miss him dearly as he touched my heart in so many ways.
October 17, 2017
I received Oakley about one week ago. He had an MRI done and there are no abnormalities in his brain so his seizures are definitely epileptic in nature. He is an interesting dog....quirky. He will chew on his own legs like they are a toy but luckily he is easily re-directed. He tries to get up on the bed but doesn't have the strength to jump so he tries to crawl. I came home to the covers pulled down off the bed. He also will get wound up and pull on my clothes. He will also chew on his leash. I got a chain to attach to the leash so he won't be able to chew his way off. He does love to play tug, chew bones and throw a kong up in the air and try to catch it on the bounce. He is becoming very active and we found he needs to have a fenced in yard. We will be working on obedience since he hasn't had any formal training. He does know sit and will come when called occasionally.
August 24, 2017
Oakley had his last seizure on August 12, 6 days after being put on new medications. However, he has not had a seizure since then. We have noticed that the new medication regime has reduced his grogginess. He seems much more animated now, especially in the morning. He frolics like a puppy (though he is pretty clumsy and his tail tends to knock things over!). The downside is that he has started counter surfing (what happened to those peaches I had sitting on the counter??) and also some inappropriate chewing (including computer cords). :( He will have his blood levels checked in about 6 weeks. If he has not had any seizures for 8 weeks, we can pursue the neuter surgery, and think about placing him up for adoption. I hope there is a kind heart out there that would be willing to give this guy a forever home.
August 1, 2017:
Oakley's seizures remain an issue and his medications will be adjusted to see if they can be better controlled with less sedation. He is now on a medical hold until his health is better. Watch for progress on this sweet boy.
July 18, 2017:
Oakley's situation has improved somewhat. He has been on a higher dose of phenobarbital, and it seems to control the seizures better. However he did have a double seizure recently (7/16). It had been 25 days since the last one. However, we had just changed the protein in our dog food form game bird to fish, so maybe that was a factor. We switched him back to game bird. The downside to his higher med levels are that they leave him very groggy and wobbly. It's hard for him to even go for a walk. He spends a good part of the day sleeping in his crate. We try to let him spend some time on the deck or backyard so he can enjoy a morning breeze and fresh air, but he seems to prefer the house. His recent blood tests show that the levels of medication are high but not exceeding therapeutic levels. Breakfast and supper time seem to be times in which Oakley is the most animated. He does love to eat (and perhaps prior to meal times, the phenobarbital levels are lower). The downside is that Oakley likes to get us up before 6 am by continually barking and whining outside our bedroom door. This morning when we did not get up right away, he also pushed the door open into a spare bedroom and got into my sewing fabric and other stuff. He won't take "no" for an answer. Even though the meds leave him dopey, he can still be be "naughty." He likes to try to escape by pushing the front screen/storm door open in the front of the house if the latch doesn't quite catch. Since we live on a busy street, and he will only run if you call him. We have learned we have to keep the front door and storm door closed. Bringing in groceries or loading the car can be tricky. We are really hoping we can get to a point soon in which his seizures are controlled but he isn't so groggy. Fingers crossed.
June 22, 2017:
Oakley has settled well into our home. It took a few weeks, but he seems pretty comfortable now. He even goes in and out of the crate on his own (although he doesn't like to have the door closed.) The inappropriate chewing has subsided. It helps to provide him with Kongs and raw bones to take the place of blankets and furniture. He likes to chew on the food bowls so we have to keep them up.
He has been continuing to have seizures. They had been coming about every 5 to 6 days, and not real bad. We were really amazed that he had recently gone 12 days without a seizure. We had hope the medications were starting to control it. Unfortunately, yesterday morning he had a cluster of four seizures over a period of about 20 minutes. They all lasted about 30 seconds but one was bad enough for him to lose bladder and bowel control. He has an appointment at the UW-Madison Vet School coming up next week. Maybe we will get some answers that will help him.
May 25, 2017:
Oakley is a 15 month old male dog who came into GRRoW because he gets seizures. His family was so sad to give him up. After two restless days and nights, Oakley is starting to settle into our home. He had his formal assessment today and passed with flying colors. So far, he is getting along with our other two goldens.
We have already learned some of his quirks. We have to keep bathroom doors shut because he likes to drink out of the toilet and eat tissues out of waste baskets. He also needs to have things to chew on or he will mouth his paws or try to rip up the blanket. He came with a big rubber bone, but he's eating the pieces so we have switched up to raw beef bones. And he is the sloppiest drinker we have ever had. We have to mop each time he takes a drink.
His vet visit went well on Monday. We learned today that his blood tests came out within a normal range for levels of phenobarbital and potassium bromide, and his kidney and liver enzyme levels are fine. We are going to have to hold off on the neuter surgery for a while because of the seizures. The vet would like to see how things go in for the next few weeks before persuing other options.

text: Cleaning the painting allows the colors and details of the artwork to be seen and appreciated the way the artist originally intended them to look. People may ask - "But aren't you destroying the patina of the painting by cleaning it?" When people refer to patina they are often talking about the "golden glow", the look of yellowed varnish over a painting as well as the dirt that gradually over time becomes ingrained in the paint, thus clouding the details and dulling the colors. In oil paintings, "true patina" refers to the progressive darkening of the paint caused by the oil it contains and also the craquelure, a fine network of cracks that develops over time in a painting. An old painting conveys something of the personality of the painter and to bring these out to the fullest is more important than to preserve years of dirt and aged varnish. The true patina, craquelure and darkening of the paint will be preserved when correctly cleaned.

Oberndorfer, Schmidt, Wagner, and Ziegler (2013)
Oberndorfer, Ulrich, Peter Schmidt, Marcus Wagner, and Andreas Ziegler. "Does the Stock Market Value the Inclusion in a Sustainability Stock Index? An Event Study Analysis for German Firms." Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, November 2013.
Form the authors' abstract: "This paper empirically analyzes the effect of the inclusion of German corporations in the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX) and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) on stock performance... Our empirical results suggest that stock markets may penalize the inclusion of a firm in sustainability stock indexes. This finding is mainly driven by a strongly negative effect of the inclusion in the DJSI World. In contrast, we do not find significant average cumulative abnormal returns for the inclusion in the DJSI STOXX."

Impeccable lighting is nothing short of a soul of any sporting event. Poorly lit stadiums and disparate lighting, on the one hand, will make players and audience struggle to concentrate on the game, whereas on the other hand excessive brightness and glare will hamper the natural vision, eventually affecting the players' performance. The situation can only be assuaged with meticulously balanced lighting.
Here are a few secrets to LED Sports Lighting you would yearn someone had told you earlier.
Thoroughly Ensure Homogeneity
Make sure the lights are uniform in the whole stadium or the place wherever the game is being played. Homogeneity is key, particularly in sports involving fast moving objects like balls. This is because if an object travels from dark to light zone or vice versa, its speed would appear to be different than the actual and hence players would find it difficult to accurately judge its speed and flight. If undetected, it can cause big trouble; however, it can be easily mitigated by ensuring uniformity.
Switch to LED Sports Lighting Fixtures
It is high time that you switch to LED rather than the old fluorescent lightings. The revolution in LED technology has now made it possible to illuminate even the biggest of the sporting areas. The clearer and flicker-free effect of LEDs make them absolutely necessary for all sorts of sports. Besides, LED lights to come up with integrated control systems, which make customization an effortless job. And on top of it, LED sports lighting fixtures are way cheaper and reduce the operations cost by a whopping 50 percent.
Never Ignore the Impact Protection and Ingress
Protection Factors
In simple words, impact protection (IK) and ingress protection (IP) ratings denote the level of resistance provided by enclosures against external elements.While IK denotes the degree of protection against mechanical impacts, gives you a good idea about the protection on offer from dust, solid objects, and water. The higher the IK and IP, the more robust your lighting fixtures would be. IK is generally to be kept higher for enclosures used in halls or smaller areas because of their being prone to mechanical pushes and pulls, whereas IP should be higher for enclosures in stadiums and grounds where there is a possibility of water and dust to creep in.
Beware of the Obtrusive Light
You are spending money to illuminate a particular area, then why allow it to brighten areas which are not required? Most of the time, the floodlights and other illuminating equipment, apart from lighting the stadium, also spill over the light to nearby residential areas resulting in light pollution. A meticulously installed LED sports lighting equipment can ensure that your every penny is well utilized. This can be assured by keeping the main beam angle of lights less than 70 degrees for any observer.
We at Rasha Professional understand all your lighting requirements and have an exclusive range of products to successfully meet and surpass your desire for immaculate lighting. If you are looking for exquisite lighting equipment, don't forget to check out our products.

'Big Little Lies' Season 2 is sounding more likely
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
(CNN)HBO scored a hit with "Big Little Lies," and its showrunner says more may be coming.
David E. Kelley told Entertainment Weekly that the success of the limited series has "all been a surprise."
"You never know how these things will turn out," Kelley said. "You sit down and you write them because you like them, and you congregate a cast and a crew that also responds to the material, and you make it to the best of your ability, and then you throw it out there, and you kinda cross your fingers and duck."
Based on a novel by Liane Moriarty, the series earned 16 Emmy nominations, including one for writing for Kelley.
Which begs the question, is a follow-up season coming?
"We don't know yet," Kelley said. "We're kicking it around."
And it sounds like stars like Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are in if it comes together.
"If we feel that the material warrants it, we'll do it," Kelley said. "Everybody's game for getting the the band back together, but we want to make sure that we've got the music to justify it. That decision hasn't been made yet, and it'll be story-driven when it is."
A second season depends on Moriarty coming up with a story, he said.

We are doing the Haunted Tour of Old Dover Saturdays in October and the first date (October 7th) has sold out!
Jan Crumpley, Ms. Jan Crumpley, artist and owner/operator of Parke Green Galleries in downtown Dover, is hosting a series of ghost tours on the Green this coming October, just in time for the Halloween season. Ms. Crumpley conceived of this tour in response to the huge curiosity she has encountered among visitors and locals alike regarding Dover's legendary ghost lore. "Although our museums and walking tours already do an outstanding job in sharing Dover's rich history," Ms. Crumpley said, "the Haunted Tour of Old Dover will focus exclusively on ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the Delaware night." Based on the research of local historian John Alstadt, the tour will feature, among others, the ghosts of Judge Samuel Chew, Elizabeth Rilee the Irish Maid, and Revolutionary War hero Colonel John Hazlet, along with spirits that whistle, open doors, rearrange pictures, and communicate with cats. Local folklorist, humorist, and storyteller Dan Beck will serve as tour guide. The Haunted Tour of Old Dover will be offered Saturday evenings (October 14, 21 & 28) at 7:00 pm throughout the month of October. For more information call

More information
Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario, and the largest city in Canada. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. With over 2.5 million residents, it is the seventh most populous municipality in North America. Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and is part of a densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe, which is home to over 8.1 million residents—approximately 25% of Canada's population. The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,113,149, and the Greater Toronto Area had a population of 5,555,912.
As Canada's economic capital, Toronto is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group and is one of the top financial centres in the world. Toronto's leading economic sectors include finance, business services, telecommunications, aerospace, transportation, media, arts, film, television production, publishing, software production, medical research, education, tourism, and sports industries. The city is also a major centre of higher education and research, home to many colleges and universities, including the University of Toronto, consistently ranked as one of the top universities in the world and highest-ranked in Canada. The Toronto Stock Exchange, the world's eighth largest in terms of market value, is headquartered in the city, along with the most Canadian corporate headquarters of a major Canadian city.
Toronto's population is cosmopolitan and international, reflecting its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, as about 49% of the population were born outside Canada. As a result, the city was recognized by UNESCO as the most ethnically-diverse city in the world. Toronto is consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.
The city is intersected by two rivers and numerous tributaries: the Humber River in the west end and the Don River east of downtown at opposite ends of the Toronto Harbour. The harbour was naturally created by sediment build-up from lake currents that created the Toronto Islands. The many creeks and rivers cutting from north toward the lake created large tracts of densely forested ravines, and provide ideal sites for parks and recreational trails.
Toronto's climate is moderate for Canada owing to its southerly location within the country. The city experiences four distinct seasons, with considerable variance in day to day temperature, particularly during the colder weather season. Owing to urbanization and its proximity to water, Toronto has a fairly low diurnal temperature range (day-night temperature difference). The denser urban scape makes for warmer nights year around and is not as cold throughout the winter than surrounding areas.
Toronto buildings vary in design and age with many structures dating back to the mid-19th century, while other prominent buildings were just newly built in the first decade of the 21st century. Defining the Toronto skyline is the CN Tower. At a height of 553.33 metres (1,815 ft 5 in) it was the world's tallest freestanding structure until 2007. It is still the tallest tower in the western hemisphere surpassing Chicago's Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) by 110 metres in height. It is an important telecommunications hub, and a centre of tourism in Toronto. Toronto is a city of high-rises, having over 2,000 buildings over 90 metres (300 ft) in height, second only to New York City (which has over 5,000 such buildings) in North America. Most of these buildings are residential (either rental or condominium), whereas the central business district contains the taller commercial office towers.
The many residential communities of Toronto express a character distinct from that of the skyscrapers in the commercial core. Victorian and Edwardian-era residential buildings can be found in enclaves such as Rosedale,Cabbagetown, The Annex, and Yorkville. Wychwood Park is historically significant for the architecture of its homes, and for being one of Toronto's earliest planned communities. The Wychwood Park neighbourhood was designated as an Ontario Heritage Conservation district in 1985. The Casa Loma neighbourhood is named after Casa Loma, a storybook castle built in 1911 complete with stunning gardens, multiple turrets, massive stables, an elevator, secret passages, and bowling alleys. Spadina House is a 19th century manor that is now a museum.
The City of Toronto encompasses a geographical area formerly administered by six separate municipalities. These municipalities have each developed a distinct history and identity over the years, and their names remain in common use among Torontonians. Throughout the city there exist hundreds of small neighbourhoods and some larger neighbourhoods covering a few square kilometres. Former municipalities include East York, Etobicoke, North York, Old Toronto, Scarborough, and York.
The Old City of Toronto covers the area generally known as downtown. It is the historic core of Toronto and remains the most densely populated part of the city. The Financial District contains the largest cluster of skyscrapers in Canada, including the First Canadian Place, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Scotia Plaza, Royal Bank Plaza, Commerce Court and Brookfield Place. From that point, the Toronto skyline extends northward along Yonge Street. Old Toronto is also home to many historically wealthy residential enclaves, such as Yorkville, Rosedale, The Annex, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park, Lytton Park, Moore Park, and Casa Loma, most stretching away from downtown to the north. These neighbourhoods generally feature upscale homes, luxury condominiums and high-end retail. East and west of Downtown, neighbourhoods such as Kensington Market, Leslieville, Cabbagetown and Riverdale are home to bustling commercial and cultural areas as well as vibrant communities of artists with studio lofts, with many middle and upper class professionals. Other neighbourhoods in the central city retain an ethnic identity, including two Chinatowns, the popular Greektown area, the trendy Little Italy, Portugal Village, and Little India, along with others.
The outer suburbs comprising the former municipalities of Etobicoke (west), Scarborough (east) and North York (north) largely retain the grid plan laid before post-war development. Sections were long established and quickly growing towns before the suburban housing boom began and the emergence of Metro Government, existing towns or villages such as Mimico, Islington and New Toronto in Etobicoke; Willowdale, Newtonbrook and Downsview in North York; Agincourt, Wexford and West Hill in Scarborough where suburban development boomed around or between these and other towns beginning in the late 1940s. Upscale neighbourhoods were built such as the Bridle Path in North York, the area surrounding the Scarborough Bluffs in Guildwood, and most of central Etobicoke, such as Humber Valley Village, and The Kingsway. One of largest and earliest "planned communities" was Don Mills, parts of which were first built in the 1950s. Phased development mixing single-detached housing with higher density apartment blocks became more popular as a suburban model of development. To some this model has been copied in other GTA municipalities surrounding Toronto, albeit with less population density.
Over the last few decades, the North York Centre that runs along Yonge Street and theScarborough City Centre have emerged as secondary business centres outside the downtown core. High-rise development in these areas have given North York and Scarborough distinguishable skylines of their own and a more downtown feel with high-density transit corridors serving them.
Toronto has a diverse array of public spaces, from city squares to public parks overlooking ravines. A group called the Toronto Public Space Committee was formed to protect the city's public spaces. Nathan Phillips Square is the city's main square in downtown, and forms the entrance to City Hall. Yonge-Dundas Square, a newer square not far from City Hall, has also gained attention in recent years as one of the busiest gathering spots in the city.
Other squares include Harbourfront Square, on the revitalized Toronto waterfront, and the civic squares at the former city halls of the defunct Metropolitan Toronto, most notably Mel Lastman Square in North York.
There are many large downtown parks, which include Grange Park, Moss Park, Allan Gardens, Little Norway Park, Queen's Park, Riverdale Park, Trinity Bellwoods Park, Christie Pits, and the Leslie Street Spit, which mainly consists of Tommy Thompson Park and opens on weekends. The Toronto Islands have several acres of park space, accessible from downtown by ferry. Large parks in the outer areas include High Park, Humber Bay Park, Centennial Park, Downsview Park, Guildwood Park, and Rouge Park. An almost hidden park is the compact Cloud Gardens, which has both open areas and a glassed-in greenhouse in downtown Toronto.
Toronto is a major scene for theatre and other performing arts, with more than fifty ballet and dance companies, six opera companies, two symphony orchestras and a host of theatres. The city is home to the National Ballet of Canada, the Canadian Opera Company, theToronto Symphony Orchestra, the Canadian Electronic Ensemble, and the Canadian Stage Company. Notable performance venues include the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, Roy Thomson Hall, the Princess of Wales Theatre, the Royal Alexandra Theatre,Massey Hall, the Toronto Centre for the Arts, the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres and the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts (originally the "O'Keefe Centre" and formerly the "Hummingbird Centre").
Toronto is the only Canadian city with representation in seven major league sports, with teams in the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, Canadian Football League, Major League Soccer,Canadian Women's Hockey League and USL W-League. The National Football League's Buffalo Bills also play select home games in the city. The city's major sports venues include the Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre (formerly known as SkyDome), Ricoh Coliseum, and BMO Field.
Toronto is home to a number of post-secondary academic institutions. The University of Toronto, established in 1827, is the oldest university in Ontario and a leading public research institution. It is a worldwide leader in several fields including biomedical research. It houses North America's fourth-largest university library system, after those of Harvard, Yale and Berkeley. The Osgoode Hall Law School, affiliated with Toronto's York University, houses the largest law library in the Commonwealth of Nations. Toronto is also home to Ryerson University, OCAD University, and the University of Guelph-Humber.
There are four diploma-granting colleges in Toronto. These are Seneca College, Humber College, Centennial College and George Brown College. The city is also home to a satellite campus of the francophone Collège Boréal. In nearbyOshawa, usually considered part of the Greater Toronto Area, are Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, while Halton Region is home to Sheridan College.
When Europeans first arrived at the site of present-day Toronto, the vicinity was inhabited by the Huron tribes, who by then had displaced the Iroquois tribes that had occupied the region for centuries before c. 1500. The name Toronto is likely derived from the Iroquois word tkaronto, meaning "place where trees stand in the water".[21] It refers to the northern end of what is now Lake Simcoe, where the Huron had planted tree saplings to corral fish. A portage route from Lake Ontario to Lake Huron running through this point, the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail, led to widespread use of the name.
French traders founded Fort Rouillé on the current Exhibition grounds in 1750, but abandoned it in 1759. During the American Revolutionary War, the region saw an influx of British settlers as United Empire Loyalists fled for the unsettled lands north of Lake Ontario. In 1787, the British negotiated the Toronto Purchase with the Mississaugas of New Credit, thereby securing more than a quarter million acres (1000 km2) of land in the Toronto area.
In 1793, Governor John Graves Simcoe established the town of York on the existing settlement, naming it after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. Simcoe chose the town to replace Newark as the capital of Upper Canada, believing the new site would be less vulnerable to attack by the Americans. Fort York was constructed at the entrance of the town's natural harbour, sheltered by a long sand-bar peninsula. The town's settlement formed at the eastern end of the harbour behind the peninsula, near the present-day intersection of Parliament Street and Front Street (in the Corktown–St. Lawrence area).
In 1813, as part of the War of 1812, the Battle of York ended in the town's capture and plunder by American forces. The surrender of the town was negotiated by John Strachan. American soldiers destroyed much of Fort York and set fire to the parliament buildings during their five-day occupation. The sacking of York was a primary motivation for the Burning of Washington by British troops later in the war. York was incorporated as the City of Toronto on March 6, 1834, reverting to its original native name. The population of only 9,000 included escaped African American slaves fleeing Black Codes in some states. Slavery was banned outright in Upper Canada in 1834. Reformist politician William Lyon Mackenzie became the first Mayor of Toronto and led the unsuccessful Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 against the British colonial government. The city grew rapidly through the remainder of the 19th century, as a major destination for immigrants to Canada. The first significant population influx occurred with the Great Irish Famine brought a large number of Irish to the city, some of them transient and most of them Catholic. By 1851, the Irish-born population had become the largest single ethnic group in the city. Smaller numbers of Protestant Irish immigrants were welcomed by the existing Scottish and English population, giving the Orange Order significant and long lasting influence over Toronto society.
Toronto was twice for brief periods the capital of the united Province of Canada first from 1849–1852, following unrest in Montreal, and later 1856–1858 after which Quebec became capital until 1866 (one year beforeConfederation); since then, the capital of Canada has remained Ottawa. As it had been for Upper Canada from 1793, Toronto became the capital of the province of Ontario after its official creation in 1867, the seat of government located at the Ontario Legislature located at Queen's Park. Because of its provincial capital status, the city was also the location of Government House, the residence of the vice-regal representative of the Crown.
Following the Second World War refugees from war-torn Europe and Chinese job-seekers arrived. So too did construction labourers, particularly from Italy and Portugal. Following elimination of racially based immigration policies by the late 1960s, immigration began from all parts of the world. Toronto's population grew to more than one million in 1951 when large-scale suburbanization began, and doubled to two million by 1971. By the 1980s, Toronto had surpassed Montreal as Canada's most populous city and the chief economic hub.
During this time, in part owing to the political uncertainty raised by the resurgence of the Quebec sovereignty movement, many national and multinational corporations moved their head offices from Montreal to Toronto and other western Canadian cities.
In 1954, the City of Toronto and 12 surrounding municipalities were federated into a regional government known as Metropolitan Toronto. The postwar boom had resulted in rapid suburban development, and it was believed that a coordinated land use strategy and shared services would provide greater efficiency for the region. The metropolitan government began to manage services that crossed municipal boundaries, including highways, police services, water and public transit.
In 1967, the seven smallest municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto were merged into their larger neighbours, resulting in a six-municipality configuration that included the old, i.e. pre-1954 City of Toronto and the surrounding municipalities of East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough and York. In 1998, the metropolitan government was dissolved by the Provincial Government in the face of vigorous opposition from the smaller component municipalities and all six municipalities were amalgamated into a single municipality, creating the current City of Toronto, with Mel Lastman as its first mayor (after being mayor of North York). David Miller was the second mayor, and Rob Ford is the third and current mayor. The city celebrated its 175th anniversary on March 6, 2009, since its inception as the City of Toronto in 1834.

SRINAGAR: At least four suspected rebels, a counterinsurgency police official and a civilian were killed during a gunbattle in Indian administered Kashmir on Friday, triggering anti-India protests and clashes in which several people were injured.
Government forces raided a cluster of homes on a tip that suspected rebels were hiding in the southern Srigufwara area and they came under fire from militants, police said.
Four militants and a police official with the counterinsurgency force were killed in the fighting, said Col. Rajesh Kalia, an Indian army spokesman.
Police said a civilian husband and wife were hit by gunfire as soldiers cornered the 'rebels' in the couple's house. Residents said the couple was not given time by government forces to leave their home. They were evacuated to a hospital where the husband was declared dead on arrival.
Police said at least two soldiers were also wounded in the fighting.
As the fighting raged, protests and clashes broke out nearby and in other neighborhoods as residents tried to help the trapped militants escape.
Government forces fired shotgun pellets and tear gas at the stone-throwing protesters, injuring at least 20.
Authorities suspended cellphone internet service in several districts in the region, a common practice to make organizing protests more difficult, and according to the government, stop the spread of rumors.
Large anti-India protests and clashes later erupted on the outskirts of Srinagar, Kashmir's main city, as thousands gathered to participate in the funeral of one of the slain militants who was from the area.
Also on Friday, at least nine police and paramilitary soldiers were injured when rebels attacked their patrol with a grenade and gunfire in southern Tral town, police said. —AP
