U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said she was asking the House Judiciary Committee and other key panels to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
A vote on impeachment by the Democratic-controlled House is widely expected to take place before Christmas.
"The facts are uncontested," she said. "The president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security by withholding military aid and a crucial Oval Office meeting in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into his political rival," Pelosi said during a news conference.
Just before the California Democrat's announcement, Trump tweeted that if Democrats are going to impeach him, they should "do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business."
The manager of the president's re-election campaign, Brad Parscale, offered a similar reaction. "We are less than a year away from Election Day 2020 and Democrats can't possibly explain to the American people why they want to take the decision of who should be president out of the hands of voters. But impeaching the President has always been their goal, so they should just get on with it so we can have a fair trial in the Senate and expose The Swamp for what it is," he said.
About two hours after Pelosi's announcement, a reporter asked the House speaker at a separate news conference if she hated Trump.
"As a Catholic, I resent your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone," she responded. "I pray for the president all the time, so don't mess with me when it comes to words like that."
The Democrats' impeachment inquiry centers on Trump's pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations into Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as into a theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
In a 300-page report released Tuesday following two months of private and public testimony, the House Intelligence Committee said Trump made a White House visit and military aid contingent on Ukraine's announcing those investigations.
The impeachment inquiry shifted Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee, which heard from scholars who said Trump's actions reached the Constitution's threshold of "bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The one professor that Republicans were allowed to invite said impeachment wasn't warranted.

Police Arrest, Disperse Osun Polytechnic Students Protest:
Hundreds of Osun students were protesting the continued closure of their institutions of learning, due to an industrial action by the academic and non-academic staff of Nigerian polytechnics.
They are students from Osun State-owned polytechnic school, and the various state-run colleges of education.
The students, numbering over 200, marched down a busy road, and later converged at the Orita Ola-Iya junction, in Oshogbo. But, eyewitnesses told SaharaReporters they were dispersed shortly afterwards by a heavily armed police unit dressed in riot gear. The police stormed their gathering where several scuffles had broken out.
The policemen at the scene reportedly arrested about sixteen of the students. Eyewitnesses say the arrests were violent. Injuries sustained as a result of the mass arrest have so far not been reported.
Others students who were dispersed from that group, numbering under 100, later moved to another junction, at Oke-Ifa to continue on with their protest.

The Kerala chief minister, P K Vasudevan Nair, said in Trivandrum that his government would not agree to the demand for a total ban on cow slaughter. Nair then left for Bombay on his way to Paunar ashram to meet Acharya Vinoba Bhave and try to persuade him to give up his proposed fast: Referring to the demand that the Constitution should be amended to include protection of the cow in the concurrent list, the chief minister said there was no question of agreeing to the demand. Prime Minister Morarji Desai is also of the view that there is no point in bringing this into the concurrent list because implementation has to be done by the states alone.
Bengal follows suit
The prospects of an agreed decision on cow slaughter between West Bengal chief minister Jyoti Basu and Acharya Vinoba Bhave are frightfully dim. While Basu will try to persuade the Acharya to appreciate the peculiar position in West Bengal and give up his projected fast, he will, certainly not agree to ban cow slaughter. In Basu's view, a total ban is impractical.
Indo-Bangla supplies
India will supply Bangladesh 1,50,000 tonnes of rice and 50,000 tonnes of wheat, either on deferred payment or as barter, as a result of an understanding reached here between Prime Minister Morarji Desai and the Bangladesh president Ziaur Rahman. The request was made by Bangladesh to overcome its current food shortage. After the final round of talks in Dhaka this morning, decisions were taken to either speed up existing agreements or to set into motion new ideas for cooperation.
Mob violence averted
Thirty-year-old Sarfuddin risked his life in preventing a mob from setting fire to the godown of Amarnath Chhabra at Jugsalai on April 12, the second day of the rioting in Jamshedpur. The godown had stocks of imported microwave gadgets which were valued at Rs 10 crore and belonged to the government.

Six Scandalously Sexy Novels You Should Read Even if You Don't Read Romance.
Not everyone likes to read romance. In fact, a lot of people like to poke fun at the genre and those who enjoy it. Then there are others who pretend they don't read it, or those who actually do read it, but only to talk about how much they didn't like it. So maybe you're a huge fan of the genre or maybe you fit into one of the categories above -- either way, here are six romance novels you shouldn't miss out on, no matter what.
1. Asking For It, by Lilah Pace
Good thing the title is subversive! Or is it? This is a story about consensual rape-fantasy. It's not dubcon or noncon, everyone is game and one hundred percent on board, yet the story still manages to make you squirm -- in a good way.
2. You, by Caroline Kepnes
This novel might not qualify as romance, and yet it kind of is in a deliciously twisted way. Kepnes forces us inside the mind of a sociopath and then makes us empathize with him. Yuck! Stop! But you can't. Because you won't want to.
3. The Paper Swan, by Leylah Attar
Talk about beautiful prose! And Stockholm syndrome and Mexican drug cartels and torture and murder and inequality and white-collar crime and true love and missing fingers. And origami!
4. Priest, by Sierra Simone
If you haven't heard of this book yet, you must be hiding out in a dark confessional somewhere. What if you went to church and the priest was really hot? What if you were a priest and your parishioner was really into you? There you have it. Just in time for the papal visit! Not to mention, it's also a love story.
5. Tainted Black, by Shanora Q. Williams
Like American Beauty on methamphetamines. Except if Kevin Spacey had climbed up a few rungs on the hotness ladder. Smoking hot dad, his daughter's impressionable bestie. Need I say more?
6. Arsen, by Mia Asher
Cheat on your kind, sweet and adoring husband with the boss' young and spoiled but very hot, son. This one is a classic and definitely as sexy as it is scandalous, and well worth the read.

I should probably take out stock in Lindy Bop, I own so many of their dresses. I often joke that I can't afford to go on a diet, I have so much invested in my wardrobe it would too expensive to replace!
I'm currently sighing and heartseyeing over some of their new dresses. Such bright pretty colours!
I'm not sure I could entirely carry off the Beattie dress, the green isn't really my colour but it's such a pretty print I'd be prepared to try! If it wasn't already out of print in my size. Maybe the universe telling me no?
And the Myrtle! Again, I don't usually wear halternecks – I'm not a lass that's comfortable going bra-less and I've yet to meet a strapless bra that offers any real support. But if this print is released in any other designs – an Audrey, oh please please, an Audrey – I'm there!
The Marlene just looks like a summer's day – I can almost feel the warmth of the sun on my skin and smell the freshly cut grass with this print.
I could go on. I'm sure I will in future posts. I've seen sneak peeks in Lindy Bop's Instagram of an ice cream print dress coming soon, and that one will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

First look: Everything iPad unveiled at Apple's 'Time Flies' event [in pictures]
CEO Tim Cook and Company show off the latest iPads and iPad OS.
Garmin, a well-established vendor of personal navigation equipment, has added the nüvi 350 and 300 to its stable. The primary purpose of these devices is navigation, but Garmin has added a range of extra features that we've not seen before in a standalone device. We reviewed the more expensive nüvi 350 (£540.57 ex. VAT), which comes with 700MB of internal storage and maps for the whole of Europe. If this is beyond your budget or requirements, consider the £324.34 (ex. VAT) nüvi 300, which shares the core navigation capability but comes with maps for one of eight European regions and just 200MB of internal memory.

Exam and Assessment Results
Hillesley School has less than 6 pupils in year 6, therefore exam and assessment results cannot be published in the national performance tables, however, all children make very good progress and transfer to secondary school very well-prepared for the next steps in their education.
At Hillesley School attendance is overall very good, with most children achieving on or above national expectations.
We have a very small number of pupils who attend on a part-time basis due to particular additional and family needs.
We believe that good attendance is crucial to the children's learning and progress.
We encourage and reward good attendance and we strongly urge our parents not to request holiday time during the school terms.
Requests to take children out of school during term time will be refused unless there are extreme and extenuating circumstances.

Annealing-dependent structural and magnetic properties of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles in a silica matrix
No Thumbnail
MetadataShow full item record
We show that annealing at high temperatures has a significant effect on the structural and magnetic properties of NiO/SiO2 nanostructures synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method. Samples underwent heat treatments at 500 degrees C, 800 degrees C, 950 degrees C and 1100 degrees C. As compared to the 500 degrees C sample, the 800 degrees C sample showed the following magnetic properties: much higher irreversibility temperature, a significantly broadened zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization maximum, a decrease of the ZFC magnetization, an increase of the coercivity, and weaker inter-particle interactions. These changes can be attributed to agglomeration of nanoparticles in part of the sample. We believe that this agglomeration can be explained by the removal of thin regions of silica that separate nanoparticles in close proximity during the annealing process at 800 degrees C. Magnetic measurements for the 1100 sample reveal both an abrupt increase in size of the NiO nanoparticles, whic...h is confirmed by TEM and XRPD measurements, and an increase in inter-particle interaction strength.

Management Consultants Role in Quality and Quality Management
Consultants can help an organization by first defining the term Quality in the context of an organization. We can see how the International Standards Organization defines Quality as characteristics and features that satisfy needs. This applies to a product or service with needs being stated or implied. In other words, a quality product does what the client expects and/or specifies.
Consultants can also explain the quality management can help an organization to create and deliver a product or service that has consistently good quality. Elements of quality management include:
Quality assurance
Quality control
Quality improvement
Quality planning
We focus not just on the end product or service. We also focus on how we achieve this end consistently and reliably. Process is part of the approach to achieve the end.
Here is a summary of key terms.
Quality assurance involves actions that are systemic and/or planned. These actions have a focus on looking at products so a group is sure they satisfy requirements
Quality control is an effort that is ongoing. Here we try to maintain a process so the result is reliable and consistent.
Quality improvement is the change to a process that improves the end result.
Consultants can provide information on this history of quality to better explain its importance to organizations.
The creation of an assembly line to produce a consistent end product was one of the first approaches to quality as we know it today. Henry Ford used this approach in the processes used on his assembly lines for cars. After World War II Volkswagon used mass production using similar approaches. In the United States we saw a focus more on low cost and efficiency during this period. Edwards Deming used methods during World War II to improve quality of products. After World War II leadership at companies in Japan worked with people such as Deming and Juran to improve the quality of their products and also rebuild their economy.
Japan used ideas such as the following to improve quality and productivity and become more competitive globally.
1. Management should help workers
2. Management should break down barriers within organizations and departments
3. Constant improvement should be part of processes
4. Education should be important to every job
Instead of producing low quality goods companies in Japan used quality approaches to improve quality. This started in the 1950s and by 1970 the quality of Japanese products improved. We see this in particular with the quality of Japanese cars including Honda and Toyota. Customer satisfaction was high when we looked at ratings from groups such as Consumer Reports and J.D. Power and sales of these products increased.
Due to customer demands companies in the U.S. started quality programs to keep up with Japanese manufacturers. In particular, Ford Motor Company did this in the 1980s working with Deming.
The consultant can work with an organization to evaluate if standards from the International Standards Organization (ISO) can apply to improve their situation. A consultant can even help a group get ISO certification or at least pick the ideas from ISO principles that can help including the well known ISO 9000 series of standards relating to quality management. We can apply these principles to many groups including:
Industrial applications
Customer service
Health care
Here are some of the ideas a consultant can use from ISO documentation to help a group improve quality and performance.
2. Focus on improvement – When an organization has such a focus the end product will most likely be of high quality. This is how an organization will continue to evolve and change for the better as conditions change.
4. Have leadership work together to create the right conditions for the organization – These conditions include engagement of workers. At all levels leadership and management should create policies, procedures, and processes to work toward the objectives of the organization to serve the customer.
5. Take a process approach – When management looks at how processes interact the end result should improve. This is how you create an end result with a consistently high quality. This systems approach can improve a groups performance and create a better result.
6. Use data to make decisions – When an organization has a focus on the use of analysis to make decisions the end product will more likely be of a high quality. If a group attempts to make decisions that are less subjective the group will benefit.
7. Consider supplier quality – It is more likely that a group will create a quality product if suppliers also have a quality focus.
Here is a list of methods and techniques that a consultant can use to explain quality concepts and which can apply to an organization.
ISO Standards
Consultants can explain about these ISO standards and provide clients with a copy of the documents.
ISO 9004: 2008 provides guidelines on performance improvement.
ISO 9001: 2015 provides specifications and information on a quality management system (QMS) that is certified by a third party that comes to the organization and performs an audit. By following the documentation a group can prove that they are able to meet the needs of users and stakeholders with quality products and services.
Consultants can also make clients aware of these quality concepts and programs.
Kaizen – This Japanese term in English means continuous improvement and relates to change for the better.
PDCA – A mnemonic for plan, do, check, act – the term reflects a cycle for a process that produces a quality result
Six Sigma – This approach helps groups improve quality and reduce defects using techniques such as failure mode and effects analysis.
DMAIC – A mnemonic for define, measure, analyze, improve, control, DMAIC relates to Six Sigma and the method of producing a quality result.
Quality circle - Meaning improvement through a group or circle of people, this approach emphasizes that people who do the work can best provide input on how to improve processes and products.
TQM – An abbreviation for Total Quality Management, this strategy involves making all levels of an organization aware of quality.
Zero Defects - This program was developed in Japan and can be related to Six Sigma.
Applications for these concepts in many cases began with manufacturing approaches. Today they have been extended to service groups, academia, and health care.
Consultants can also explain what could work best for a client. Culture can play a role here too. It takes time for management and all levels to accept a change and have it gain acceptance, then show results. Consultants can help with this process. Small and incremental changes can also work best as we have seen in Japan and the use of Kaizen. The small changes can add up to a transformation as we saw with Japan and how cars improved in quality over time. Eventually, the Japanese economy overall also grew stronger.
If a consultant comes in at a time of crisis for a group, this can be an opportunity for change. A consultant can take into account the reasons for the crisis and which methods could work best for the particular issues and goals.
Here is a list with more information about standards. Consultants can pass on related information to their clients as appropriate.
1. Organizations in over 100 countries have received ISO certification.
2. The basic standard is ISO 9001:2000 while ISO 9004: 2009 provides additional guidelines for quality improvement. The guidelines cover additional information about improved management and process assessment.
3. When you are certified you are evaluated on process and not the product or service provided.
4. ISO 22000 covers the food industry.
5. ISO 9001: 2008 covers the automobile industry.
6. CMMI is a standard developed by the Software Engineering Institute and refers to the Capability Maturity Model. It covers improvement methods and process assessment.
If Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a good fit for an organization, the consultant can relay this information about CMMI to the client.
1. CMMI deals with training for process improvement.
2. It also covers an appraisal program.
3. Carnegie Mellon University is involved in marketing CMMI.
4. The Department of Defense and other US government agencies require CMMI.
5. CMMI can assist with improvements in an organization or part of it such as a division or even a project.
Using CMMI processes are rated as follow as related to maturity.
1. Initial
2. Managed
3. Defined
4. Quantitatively managed
5. Optimizing
CMMI models include:
CMMI for services
CMMI for acquisition
CMMI for development
Here is a list of some of the awards related to quality.
1. Deming Award – a Japanese award for quality management
2. UK Excellent Award
3. European Foundation for Quality Management Award
4. Malcolm Baldrige Awards – a U.S. award for performance quality
The Baldrige awards go to U.S. organizations. These organizations can be in the for profit or non profit sector. It covers all sectors including education, health care, and business. Categories include:
Small business
Health care
The President of the United States gives the award. The United States Department of Commerce administers the award through the National Institute of Standards and Technology. To win a Baldrige award an organization must:
Be willing to share information about their strategies
Have a management system involving continuous improvement
Demonstrate effective operation
Respond to customers and stakeholders
Consultants can provide information about past winners and even contact winners to get ideas for improvement. Here is a list of some of the winners.
Charter School of San Diego
Charleston Area Medical Center Health System
Mid America Transplant Services
Hill Country Memorial
In evaluating an organization, the award looks at:
Criteria for performance excellence

Opioid misuse sending more older adults to emergency departments, study finds
More older adults in the ED is a bad sign for patients but also for providers, who often struggle with costs and utilization.
Emergency department visits by people age 65 and older who were identified with opioid misuse and dependence more than tripled between 2006 and 2014, according to new research published by researchers at Towson University.
The study also discovered that opioid misuse was associated with an increased number of chronic conditions, greater injury risk, and higher rates of alcohol dependence and mental health diagnoses.
More older adults in the ED is a bad sign for patients but also for providers, who often struggle with costs and utilization.
HIMSS20 Digital

These outcomes are reported in the article "Increasing Rates of Opioid Misuse Among Older Adults Visiting Emergency Departments" appearing in the journal Innovation in Aging from The Gerontological Society of America.
National estimates of ED visits indicate that older adults are increasingly struggling with opioid misuse disorders, with increases in population ED visit rates mirroring or exceeding reported rates for younger patients.
A subset of the older patients affected by this may have limited resources to respond to their treatment needs, given broader policies in place that limit access to long-term treatment, the authors said.
From a policy perspective, the findings highlight the importance of the ED in identifying opioid misuse among older adults, especially in light of study estimates suggesting that, nationally, 6.4 older adults with opioid misuse disorder visit the ED every hour, with more than half of these visits resulting in hospitalization.
The findings also point to the challenge of mounting an appropriate, well-informed and targeted response to the problem. For example, although opioid misuse is often construed as unintentional and less common among older adults, there are two important aspects to consider: unintended, relatively new patterns of opioid misuse among older adults as well as those with a longer history of substance misuse disorders
The damage done to America's health by the opioid epidemic is well-recognized and enormous, with drug overdose death rates helping to drive down U.S. life expectancy in recent years. Yet as the problem has worsened, hospitals collectively have seen a loss of programs dealing with substance abuse.
While some hospitals have added programs in recent years, a greater number discontinued them. In 2010, a total of 334 hospitals surveyed offered inpatient services and 588 offered outpatient services, but by 2015 these numbers had dropped to 327 and 577, respectively.
Just today, America's Health Insurance Providers released strategies it felt would be effective in combating the opioid epidemic, focusing on managing chronic low back pain without opioids and increasing treatment of substance use disorder.
"These two areas are critically important to address opioid abuse and offer real opportunities for collaboration and improvement," said AHIP. "Chronic low back pain is often treated with prescription opioids, despite the potential risk and evidence this is may not be effective.
"There is also a need to expand access to SUD treatment -- including medication assisted treatment (MAT) -- because some patients and care providers may not be aware of the options available. However, there is a documented shortage of behavioral health clinicians who can provide this treatment and an immature quality infrastructure for treatment programs."

Let me start with an example everybody can relate to. Imagine you set the goal to wake up half an hour earlier everyday so you will not be stressed in the morning, practice some Yoga or to finish some chores before heading to work or university. Although it is not everybody's goal to wake up earlier, it functions as the best practice example. Anyway, your alarm clock is ringing and in that exact moment that you wake up, your thoughts start to fill your refreshed mind and you are so overwhelmed that you choose one of these 100 thoughts and use it as an excuse: 'I will definitely start with my routine tomorrow ', 'I really don't feel like waking up so early today' or 'now I can snooze for 30 minutes – great'! If you can see yourself in what I am describing, you should continue reading.
Old legend says that there are two wolves in each of us. One of them is positive and beneficial; the other one is negative and destructive. Both fight for control over us and the one you feed the most, will win and take control. Hence, thoughts seem to determine feelings and the feelings influence our actions. To me, this is one of the most important life lessons I learnt. However, in the end, ths is a choice that you are free to make and said decision does not only affect your behavior, mood or your actions but ultimately determines your mental health.
If we have a look at top sport athletes, we notice that most of them are on the same physical level. By assessing their performance, some, naturally, are doing better than others. But consider that it is only possible to observe the physical performance of an athlete; you do not know whether an athlete is dealing with pressure, if he is making the right decisions in the right moment or if he is really aiming for the gold medal and rather than silver? The mental ability seems to play a big role and you probably never really heard about everybody's secret because it is quite difficult to measure.
Therefore I want to empower you to pay attention to your thoughts. You feel depressed during the winter time? Or have a bad mood on a rainy day? Not a surprise, because everybody is talking about a winter depression and you believe in it. Let me help you: Stop feeding your bad wolf.
Until now you seem to get the point of how your thoughts affect your mental health but you are probably still struggling to match your thoughts with the problem in the beginning. Well, you might think that not everyone can be a morning person and you will never feel like waking up early. Wait, did you get it? The only reason you will never feel like waking up early is because you are always telling yourself that you won't. So how should you ever be able to become a morning person? There are so many people out there thinking that one day something or someone will happen to them that will change what they always wanted to change. Could be regarding their health, about being happier, having a better relationship or any other wish you could think of. But you will never have the perfect amount of time to change stuff, you have to make time and do the right thing. The problem of motivation is that it fades away so quickly, you already feel demotivated when are just about start. Now, you are left with only two choices: Either use those tiny boosts of motivation or accept that you will never feel motivated enough to reach your specific goal. If you choose option A try to include other people in your plan and tell them about it. You will recognize that you want to keep your promise to your loved ones.
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
In the end everybody has to figure out his or her own way of dealing with thoughts, but for me, there are important criteria in order to control and achieve certain goals.
There is just no reason not to be! You are a miracle on your own and so lucky to be a human being!
Reimagine the waking-up-situation from before. Just do it, execute!
Accept a situation, change or leave it!
I always set my goal unrealistic high in order to break it into components and enjoy the process of reaching them all!
Of course you cannot transform yourself from one day to the other, but try to work on yourself and your thoughts continuously every day.

PRRD's Kuwait visit depends on Emir's availability
By Jelly Musico
MANILA (Philippines News Agency) – President Rodrigo Duterte's plan to visit Kuwait will depend on the availability of Emir of the Gulf State, Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher "Bong" Go said on Wednesday.
"It will depend on the availability of the Emir," Go said in a text message to Palace reporters.
He said Kuwait's Emir Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah might be available by October.
In his previous speeches, Duterte repeatedly mentioned his plan to visit Kuwait to personally thank the Gulf state officials for signing an agreement seeking to provide protection for the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
The memorandum of understanding was signed by the officials of both the Philippines and Kuwait last May, assuring the Filipino domestic workers with one-day off each week, food, health insurance, non-confiscation of passport, use of cellphones and legal assistance.
Duterte sought for the signing of the MOU following a series of abuses and death of the OFWs, including Joanna Demafelis whose body was found in a freezer in an abandoned apartment unit of her employers.
With the help of the Kuwaiti government, Demafelis' Lebanese employer and his Syrian wife were sentenced to death.
There are more than 250,000 Filipinos living and working in Kuwait. (PNA)

More than 11 million immigrants currently live and work in the U.S. without legal authorization and without any reasonable avenue to change their legal status. This reality complicates the jobs of public service providers and law enforcement officers and inhibits the ability of private sector employers to find workers.
Immigrants to our country often face serious obstacles to pursuing their American dream, most particularly finding safe work that pays a livable wage. Families and individuals who come to the U.S. seek a better life, and yet they often lack access to legal protection and important social services necessary for learning and working.
I believe in meaningful action to modernize America's immigration system. We need changes that will uphold human dignity, support our economy and – most importantly – keep families together.
We all benefit from a diverse and productive society when industrious people come here to work and raise their families. I fully support further action to ensure DREAMers and their families can fully access and enjoy our society. I also support congressional action to deliver a comprehensive federal solution that creates a path to citizenship for the many immigrants who are already contributing to our society.
I am continuing to work with community groups, religious leaders, employers and the public to guarantee that our laws are sympathetic and helpful to immigrants. I will not allow our immigrant community to be ignored and persecuted! I will fight for their rights.

Well, here it is November 25th! Many people I know celebrate this day for many different reasons and many of them are celebrating a birthday. Today, I celebrate a type of rebirthday. Today marks the twelfth anniversary of the day I was reborn. Twelve years ago I had no choice, either lose my leg or die. Twelve years ago today, the most amazing surgeon and his team removed my diseased and dead leg from my body and gave me a new lease on life. Upon waking from all the effects of surgery I physically felt better. I had no more pain and no longer was I weighted down by a limb that was so diseased it had poisoned my body. I still had a few more days of emotional scarring to get through however, with the love and firmness that my family and friends showed me I was able to get out from under that cloud a mere three days after surgery and have not looked back. (Except to see how far I have come!) On this day I want to celebrate everyone who was there with me during my darkest hour and who helped me get through it. It is my hope that I live my life making everyone who helped me proud. I am not perfect and falter daily however, I am aware of my imperfections and am a continued work in progress. I would like to say to you today that I have never felt so alive and have never felt more determined to spread joy wherever I go. May you feel just a little bit of joy today and everyday as we head into this holiday season. Thank you everyone for being such an amazing support system.
Do you like what you have read? Do you know someone who will benefit from reading this blog? Feel free to share it.

I am who I am thanks to God, my parents, my family, and my friends. My life is driven by faith. Oh, and I am a cancer survivor.

I celebrate the me yet to come…
Well, the NY Daily News certainly was on a roll today, capped off with a most excellent compendium of Bizarre Sex Trivia (actually excerpted from "Why Do Men Have Nipples: Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini" by Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D.). F'rinstance:
"The Electrovaginogram: Study of the Vaginal Electric Activity and Its Role in the Sexual Act and Disorders." In this paper, the authors investigated the hypothesis that the vagina generates electric waves, which affect vaginal contraction during penile thrusting. They found electric waves could be recorded from the vagina. They also postulated that there was a vaginal pacemaker that seems to represent the G-spot, which is claimed to be a small area of erotic sensitivity in the vagina.
Also covered: Whether or not you can break your penis, what causes "shrinkage," kegel exercises, and female ejaculation.
It is also definitive proof of something I've been saying for a long time now: Anything containing the phrase "So what is this vaginal Loch Ness Monster?" is worth reading.
This also seems like an appropriate, er, spot to disclose that my blog can apparently be found by searching for "Kingpin hitting boobs Vanessa". I don't think I want to know why.

Restaurants today aren't afraid to "elevate" a classic food staple. In Grand Rapids, you can find a fresh, local burger with fries for $5 at your favorite takeout joint or a gourmet burger with cheese for $16 at your neighborhood brewery. With such a wide gamut before us, we decided to investigate the difference between chicken wings that are $1 apiece versus twice that price.
$ Wing Doozy
3916 Plainfield Ave. NE, Grand Rapids
2359 Health Dr. SW, Wyoming
Wing Doozy reigns supreme in Revue's Best of the West readers poll. As the top dawgs of the 2018 wing category, they had to be here on this hunt. I took mine home in the standard operating procedure of many takeout wing joints: Styrofoam container in a thin plastic shopping bag.
Now, there's a lot of steam in there — more than enough to ruin some wings even on the shortest of drives home. But once home, upon opening the box, voila: the wings are wrapped in aluminum foil, keeping them seriously hot, and more importantly, crispy! It's innovation at its finest.
By far the sauciest of all the wings I tried, and certainly the most classic of presentations, these puppies were messy and the medium sauce had some zip to it — clearly these were not just tossed in a little Frank's. Wing Doozy's sauce had a little tanginess to it, and the texture was crispy, the insides molten hot. Doozy's wings are satisfying, and to me, the balance of a classic wing and the ability to take them home for the game means these are a GR staple for a reason.

$$ Long Road Distillers
537 Leonard St. NW, Grand Rapids
Long Road's wings were above average in size & served as whole wings rather than the drums and flats you find most often. They're tossed in a house bourbon hot sauce, which is very light and more sweet than spicy. Three of them come served up with a garnish of celery shavings, bleu cheese crumbles and bacon ends, and a little glide of bleu cheese dressing underneath it all.
Quality-wise, these were the best of the bunch. The chicken skin was shatteringly crisp — a sign of fresh over frozen — and the sheer size of them was satisfying as well. And while I like a traditional hot sauce, Long Road's bourbon blend was an excellent substitute.
It is, to this day, the only plate of wings ever to convince me to eat the celery. Give the bacon bits and bleu cheese credit as the perfect conduits for what is typically a net-zero calorie afterthought.
At Long Road, we have clearly stepped into elevated bar food territory. This is how you start a food fight. These wings were placed onto the plate, their crispy little ends sticking up like a praying mantis, not dumped from mixing bowl into a wax paper-lined basket. I mean, these were great to eat, but you could argue that they were equally meant to be photographed. You choose which you like more.
Personally, I like Long Road's commitment to quality ingredients in the coupe and on the plate, even if you have to sacrifice a Monday Night Football game to enjoy them in their natural habitat, with an elegant craft cocktail in hand.
The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck wings. Courtesy Photo
$$$ The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck
187 Monroe Ave. NW, Grand Rapids
At $12, the six wings Wolfgang Puck has engineered for you are by far the most expensive. That's $2 a wing, which is what Wing Doozy wishes it could charge you, and it's $5 more than what Long Road will charge you for wings during happy hour.
Puck's wings were also the smallest of the bunch, and suspiciously uniform in appearance. Here, we've returned to the drums and flats presentation, and they are meticulously prepared.
But here's where it gets interesting and where you just knew your boy Wolfgang would come through: Each one was perfect and exactly alike. Maybe they were frozen, maybe they weren't, but they were rubbed in a light spice to blacken them before hitting the fryer. The unsauced wings themselves had a little smoke to them and all six were uniformly juicy on the inside. No duds here.
Between the three comparisons, the chili-garlic sauce these were served with was the best. I would have happily devoured them at the swanky hotel bar if they were smothered in the stuff and it was running down my face. But, because it was on the side, there was the added bonus of putting a dab of it on the tender middle of the wing. Puck just thinks of the little things.
Nota Bene: The Kitchen is also the only bar I know of in town where you can have a glug of Louis XIII cognac with your chicken wings. What a world we live in.

for each part of the cycle is shown time-aligned with the data it influenced. The
gain is applied an RTT earlier, when
the data is sent. This is indicated by the
horizontal jog in the event sequence
description running up the left side.
BBR minimizes delay by spending
most of its time with one BDP in flight,
paced at the BtlBw estimate. This
moves the bottleneck to the sender so it
cannot observe BtlBw increases. Consequently, BBR periodically spends an
RTprop interval at a pacing_gain > 1,
which increases the sending rate and
inflight. If BtlBw hasn't changed, then
a queue is created at the bottleneck,
increasing RTT, which keeps deliveryRate constant. (This queue is removed by sending at a compensating
pacing_gain < 1 for the next RTprop.) If
BtlBw has increased, deliveryRate
increases and the new max immediately increases the BtlBw filter output,
increasing the base pacing rate. Thus,
BBR converges to the new bottleneck
rate exponentially fast. Figure 5 shows
the effect on a 10Mbps, 40ms flow of
BtlBw abruptly doubling to 20Mbps after 20 seconds of steady operation (top
graph) then dropping to 10Mbps after
another 20 seconds of steady operation
at 20Mbps (bottom graph).
(BBR is a simple instance of a Max-plus control system, a new approach to
control based on nonstandard algebra. 12
This approach allows the adaptation rate
[controlled by the max gain] to be independent of the queue growth [controlled
by the average gain]. Applied to this problem, it results in a simple, implicit control loop where the adaptation to physical constraint changes is automatically
handled by the filters representing those
constraints. A conventional control system would require multiple loops connected by a complex state machine to
accomplish the same result.)
Existing implementations handle
events such as startup, shutdown, and
loss recovery with event-specific algorithms and many lines of code. BBR
uses the code detailed earlier for everything, handling events by sequencing
through a set of "states" that are defined
by a table containing one or more fixed
gains and exit criteria. Most of the time
is spent in the ProbeBW state described
in the section on Steady-state Behavior.
the code in Figure 3. (In Linux, sending
uses the efficient FQ/pacing queuing
discipline, 4 which gives BBR line-rate
single-connection performance on
multigigabit links and handles thousands of lower-rate paced connections
with negligible CPU overhead.)
Steady-state behavior. The rate andamount BBR sends is solely a functionof the estimated BtlBw and RTprop, sothe filters control adaptation in addi-tion to estimating the bottleneck con-straints. This creates the novel controlloop shown in Figure 4, which illus-trates the RTT (blue), inflight (green)and delivery rate (red) detail from700ms of a 10Mbps, 40ms flow.

The Georgia Aquarium has announced initial plans for Expansion 2020, a major expansion of the facility that will likely be ready in late 2020.
As reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the expansion announcement comes with few details, but developers are likely to share more information about the project later this year as plans for the initial phases are finalized.
"Our next endeavor is a big one, a really big one," Debbie Campbell, vice president of marketing and communications for the aquarium, told ABC in an email.
(More: Atlanta bar has the right idea for Super Bowl 52)
Sketches of the initial phase of construction have been released, and they show a temporary entrance being built as room is made for construction on the southeastern side of the aquarium. It's not yet known if the expansion will bring more sea creatures to the 13-year-old aquarium, ABC also said.
Construction on the expansion will presumably begin in September when the temporary entrance is ready, the report added.
Despite its boundaries, the Centennial Park District has continued to see enhancements in recent years. According to Curbed Atlanta, a Centennial Park expansion is underway and two new hotels are in various phases of construction near the aquarium.
The district includes everything from Philips Arena on the southwestern end to the park itself and the Center for Civil and Human Rights, the aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola on the northeastern end.Follow @Sean_Breslin

How to grow and develop female talent in the cybersecurity sector
Let's start with the facts. A 2017 report by the (ISC)² found that only 11 percent of the global cybersecurity workforce was female. Research done by Cybersecurity Ventures in early 2018 suggested that the number should be closer to 20 percent by the end of 2019.
It appears that their predictions were on target according to the (ISC)² 2019 Women in Cybersecurity report, which found that 24 percent of the cybersecurity workforce is now female. The question is, "has the industry really changed that much in two years?" Unfortunately, no.
The report itself indicates that this change in numbers is mostly attributable to a more inclusive research methodology. Regardless, we must focus on what we can do to increase the number of women in security. We know that the more diverse your company is, the more successful that company will become.
This notion follows that an industry will be more successful the more diverse it is. With an expected shortfall of 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs by 2021, as an industry, we should be looking at all of the possible ways to increase the talent pool. Doubling the number of women in the industry would get us a long way to filling those roles.
If each company in our industry focused on two main objects, I believe we would see dramatic changes in gender diversity.
- Retain the female talent we do have.
- Attract and grow talent.
Working on employee retention has become a top priority in many tech and cybersecurity companies, and it is an important first step in increasing your gender diversity. We face tough competition with other companies over a finite set of talent.
Organizations must recognize that their top talent is getting multiple recruiting requests a week. If their pay isn't competitive, their career growth is limited, or the work environment is toxic, then what incentive do they have to stay?
Ensuring you have competitive pay, clear career path progression and an inclusive, collaborative and flexible work environment will go a long way in retaining not only your top female talent, but all your top talent.
This chart shows the percentage of women and men earning specific salary levels by demographic from the (ISC)² 2019 Women in Cybersecurity report.
Do you want to become a company women seek out? Follow these steps:
- Regularly evaluate your compensation across many demographics. If there is pay inequity, fix it.
- Create a flexible work environment. Make it easy for your employees to step out for appointments without repercussion, work from home when they or their family members are sick, and take personal leave when they need it.
- Document how career progression occurs and ensure it is followed to avoid favoritism and biases from creeping in.
Now that you have ensured that when women join your company they will stay, let's talk about some ways to attract more talent.
Is your talent acquisition primarily through employee referral?
If your gender split isn't 50/50, then you will have a problem. People will attract others like them. This method will only continue your imbalance.
Do you only recruit from a small set of universities or colleges?
If so your company gender balance will look much like the gender balance of those institutions. Seek out programs that are graduating a higher number of women. Partner with the Women In Computing, or Women In Security organizations in those institutions to have more direct interactions with the women graduating from their programs.
Do you have internal training programs?
If we are going to fill the 3.5 million extra job openings in 2021, we better start training that talent now. Figure out the base set of knowledge you need for an entry level position in your organization, then create formal training programs to grow talent through your organizations. Make the base set of knowledge wide and consider which roles from other industries might easily transition into your roles with proper training.
Remember: If you are one of the first organizations to figure out how to increase you gender diversity, you will have a huge advantage compared with organizations who don't. You will not only fill more of your empty positions, but increase the viability of your business.

MC Mining Ltd (LON:MCM) chief executive David Brown described as a "massively positive step" the signing of an offtake deal to supply one of the world's largest steelmakers with its hard coking coal.
The agreement with ArcelorMittal South Africa is for a minimum of 350,000 tonnes of output from the Makhado operation, near the border with Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Completion of the offtake lends funding discussion further "traction", MC said.
"The long-term viability of Makhado's hard coking coal is supported by global steel demand that is expected to grow over the next ten years, with economic development and urbanisation driving increases in per capita steel usage," said CEO Brown
In early yesterday afternoon trade, MC Mining shares were changing hands for 45p, up 2.2%.

To stay up to date with the latest information in the apiculture industry to can visit our apiculture latest news. On the other hand in case you are new to beekeeping and would like to start professional apiculture now get a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other activity, has its dos and don'ts. Start beekeeping typically involves the needed gear and purchasing bees. Nonetheless, some people who are beginning this avocation normally make a few mistakes. It is ok to make mistakes, which post can help new beekeepers avoid making the same mistakes others have in the past.
Here are three blunders which every beekeeper should prevent:
1. Not understanding the best time to begin a beekeeping business or hobby can end up being a catastrophe. It often leads to some loss of your bees and money. Since most bees perish during the wintertime, winter is the worst possible time to begin. This would drive a beekeeper to purchase a fresh mountain of bees, which would cost more money. Fall is another inferior time to start beekeeping, since you will find fewer blooms, consequently a smaller amount of honey harvested. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which will be the time of the year where there are plenty of blooming flowers.
2. Purchasing used equipment and old books. That is a common mistake made by many start beekeepers. Buying used equipment and old beekeeping books isn't a great idea, although it is clear that one would desire to save money as much as possible. First, used gear can come with "familial" difficulties. The extractor factory outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife mightn't be sharp enough to uncap all the wax. This would definitely change the quality of one's honey, which isn't an ideal scenario especially if a beekeeper is planning to start a honey-selling business. Second, info that is dated can be provided by old novels on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the traditional approach when there are more rapid and better methods production honey and to maintain beehives.
3. Refraining from buying protective gear. Think relating to this. If one does not wear protective gear when handling the hives and collecting the honeycombs, he/she will come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers. Protective equipment is not cheap, yes, but it is going to help beekeepers prevent having to pay medical bills.
These three mistakes happen to be presented here to help they are avoided by future beekeepers. It is best to consult with a professional beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If buying a particular thing looks too high-priced, consistently consider the end price ( in case that they don't purchase this item now, will it cost them more later on?). Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide the best course of action.

On the 3rd of August 2019, the city of Port Harcourt was smoking hot with fumes from roasted plantain and fish engulfing the atmosphere, dust raised by thousands of people, and beats of different types of music blaring from speakers. The fuss and the standstill traffic were evidence that Bole Festival 2019 had taken over the town.
It baffled a lot of persons that a single event organized by just one brand had the ability to pull such crowd and literally turned the very quiet Obi Wali center to a beehive. The crowd was a mix of regular fun-loving individuals, on-air personalities (OAPs), and press agents from different media houses were present to capture every moment of the event.
But then the main VIPs of the festival were the wide range of vendors who made their products and services available to spectators and buyers. The highlight, however, were the entertainers invited to light up the event. It is safe to say that the event would have been nothing without the blend of people present that day.
Away from the jamboree, now let's look deeper to see why Bole Festival was a huge success. Everyone who has ever tried to plan a project or host an event would certainly agree that it is not an easy feat! No matter how small that project or event, it requires a hundred percent brainstorming, planning, and organization to have an excellent execution. It was evident that the Bole Festival was well planned which is why we think the team deserved some applause. So here are a few things we observed;
Good Social Media Strategy: For a brand seeking to attract hundreds of people from around Nigeria and outside the country, it must leverage the power of social media. Being its fourth edition in the business of hosting the event, the Bole Festival crew made good use of their social media platforms to spread the word about the event. In the social media campaign, they focused on the fun facts about the festival while they watered the appetite of potential attendees with promises they couldn't resist. We dare say the crew kept their promises. They also made good use of hashtags which flowed with their theme for this year, Our Taste, Our Culture, which resonated with the people.
Easy Payment: One thing customers dread is going through too much hassle to pay for a product or service. And their fear of online payment is endless! So including the option of online payment is sometimes a risk that only brave brands opt for. Yet the Festival's crew was able to make the payment process, especially the online option, seamless. With just a few clicks on an internet-connected mobile phone, most attendees were able to purchase their tickets which was immediately sent to their emails. Several outlets in strategic places for the buying of tickets were utilized as well.
Partnership: Getting partners that believe and support a brand to the fullest is usually one of the toughest parts for most brands. However, Bole Festival has been able to break that limiting factor as it had quite a lot of sponsors and partners. Well, one thing is for sure, the brand must have proven itself worthy enough for partnership. Remember the first thought on every partner's mind is "what's in it for me?"
Variety: Though the main event is centered on bole, it was refreshing to have other options displayed by different vendors. This also presents the Bole Festival as an umbrella that houses and supports different types of brands especially SMEs. It speaks a lot about Bole Festival's core values.

So, there you go! Those are our observations, but we would love to hear yours. Tell us what you think about Bole Festival in the comment section.
