Can you believe it's been over a year since the end of Big Sean and Ariana Grande?
Sign Up For Our Newsletter!
The duo's breakup announcement came as a shock to most, as all appeared well in the young power couple's world. But according to Ariana, the split wasn't hard and there's one valuable lesson she still holds close.
In a new interview with Billboard Magazine, Ariana opens up about what she learned after dating in the public eye. When asked about her 8-month relationship with Big Sean, the 22-year-old responded:
"I'll never be able to swallow the fact that people feel the need to attach a successful woman to a man when they say her name," says Grande, alluding to another singer's relationship. "I saw a headline — draw your own conclusions [on the subjects] because it'll be so much drama that I don't want — they called someone another someone's ex, and that pissed me off."
Some guessed that Ariana was referring to Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. She continued:
"This person has had so many great records in the last year, and she hasn't been dating him forever. Call her by her name! I hate that. Like, I'm fuming. Sorry…Don't get me started on this s–t."
These days, Ari enjoys the company of a new beau, back-up dancer Ricky Alvarez.
"We're happy. I'm a very happy girl. I have a healthy life right now, and I think that's all anyone cares to know. The end," she says.
Check out more highlights below.
On gender equality:
"If you're going to rave about how sexy a male artist looks with his shirt off, and a woman decides to get in her panties or show her boobies for a photo shoot, she needs to be treated with the same awe and admiration," Grande explains. "I will say it until I'm an old-ass lady with my tits out at Whole Foods. I'll be in the produce aisle, naked at 95, with a sensible ponytail, one strand of hair left on my head and a Chanel bow. Mark my words. See you there with my 95 dogs."
On Kanye West's now-infamous Taylor Swift line on TLOP:
Grande squirms when asked about the line, but refuses to cast West out: "I'm conflicted. It's a serious thing to joke about, but at the same time, a lot of artists use humor in their music. I mean, yes, it's hard to listen to. But I'm obsessed with Kanye's album. I'm obsessed with Taylor's album. There are some cringe-worthy topics on his, but it's part of Kanye. He's a fantastic artist."
On how she avoids drama in the music biz:
"If people are fighting, I stay as far away as possible. I've said this a million times: I hate drama. I love women in the industry. I'm a big fan of all my peers, and I try to keep it a hundred. That's why I don't look at anything. I'm like, 'My song's out!' Then I run for the hills. 'Here's another picture of my dogs! Bye!'"

Enlisted Airmen
The United States Air Force Academy and its preparatory school offer opportunities for our sharpest enlisted Airmen to enter the commissioned ranks of the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Space Force. Airmen possess both military knowledge and proven reliability, making them the ideal cadets.
Turn Potential into Reality
Prior-enlisted cadets attending the Academy or its preparatory school are among the best the U.S. Air Force and Space Force have to offer. We ask commanders and chiefs to find and recommend superior-performing Airmen with high moral character, strong academic ability, leadership potential and outstanding physical fitness.
Leaders Encouraging Airman Development (LEAD) Program
The LEAD Program is an ongoing effort to give our best and brightest Airmen (Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard Airmen) the opportunity to excel by offering them appointments to the U.S. Air Force Academy and the Academy Prep School. This program delegates authority to unit commanders to identify outstanding and deserving Airmen with officer potential for this commissioning program.
Our LEAD Program point of contact at the Academy can be reached at 719-333-8811 (DSN 333) and is available to answer any questions you may have.
Additional information about the Academy and the prep school may also be obtained by calling 1-800-443-9266.
How to Apply
Interested Airmen should ensure they meet Enlisted Commissioning Program eligibility by reviewing AFMAN36-2032 Chapter 10, Enlisted Commissioning Programs. Pay special attention to Paragraph 10.5, Table 10.6, Paragraph 10.12, and Table 10.8. Airmen must meet the legal requirements listed below. If they are eligible and meet legal requirements they must complete AF Form 1786 and complete and submit a (Pre-candidate Questionnaire.).
Eligibility Requirements
As with any applicant, enlisted Airmen must ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for appointment to the Academy or prep school.
You must:
- Be a U.S. citizen or be able to obtain citizenship before entry into the Academy.
- Be 17 years of age for direct entry but not have reached your 23rd birthday by July 1 of year of entry.
- Be 17 years of age for prep school but not have reached your 22nd birthday by July 1 of year of entry.
- Be unmarried.
- Bear no legal obligation to support a child or other individual.
- Not be pregnant.
- Be of high moral character.
AF Form 1786
AF Form 1786 is the Application for Appointment to the USAF Academy Under Quota Allotted to Enlisted Members of the Regular and Reserve Components of the Air Force. To compete for appointment, you must complete and submit the Pre-candidate Questionnaire along with AF Form 1786.
The AF Form 1786 is the formal paperwork required to obtain individual nomination.
The AF Form 1786 should:
- Be completed by the member.
- Be endorsed by the squadron commander.
The squadron commander—not wing commander-will review your records and endorse your application as part of the 1786 process.
- Be processed by the military personnel flight.
If an Airman has already submitted an online application earlier in the year, the application package would have already identified the need for transcripts, therefore, transcripts are only required as part of the AF Form 1786 package if this is the first correspondence with the Academy.
Submission Deadline
- Complete your Pre-Candidate Questionnaire (available March 1 through December 31).
- Send AF Form 1786 to U.S. Air Force Academy Admissions Counselor (no earlier than July 1 of the year prior to entry and no later than January 31 of the year of entry)
Submit the form and commander statement through your unit commander and military personnel flight and forward it to:
Office of Admissions
2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 2300
USAF Academy, CO 80840-5025

January 31
Completed candidate package due
Previous Performance
We'll evaluate your leadership potential through your record of participation in athletic activities, including team or individual sports and nonathletic activities, such as class offices, public speaking, Civil Air Patrol or scouting.
Your grade transcripts from high school and from any preparatory school or college you may have attended after high school will determine your academic potential.
We'll also consider your performance on active duty and recommendations from supervisors.
Selection Criteria
We consider all candidates (regular or reserve) on a competitive basis for appointment to the Academy and the preparatory school. Examination results and previous performance determine selections.
We'll notify you of your qualification and selection status in early May. Airmen not accepted for direct entrance into the Academy are automatically considered for the prep school.
Experience the Birthplace of Leaders
How does it feel to trace the footsteps of some of our nation's most revered leaders? Come see the United States Air Force Academy for yourself and find out.
If You Have Questions, Get Answers
Our outreach programs can help you determine whether the U.S. Air Force Academy is right for you, as well as help you make your application as complete and competitive as possible.
How Can You Learn More
The majority of our events are held in the fall and spring, with fewer events in the summer months. To learn more about the U.S. Air Force Academy, check for an event that may be convenient to you.

Marion "Suge" Knight's son is turning heads once more after claiming that the late rapper Tupac Shakur, also known by stage names 2pac and Makaveli, is "back in the studio" and making "new music."
The younger Knight made a name for himself last October after publicly postulating that the All Eyez on Me icon is still alive and well and secretly residing in Malaysia.
Shakur died as a result of a drive-by shooting on Las Vegas Boulevard on Sept. 13, 1996.
He was shot four times and rushed to a hospital where he later died from internal bleeding. Knight's father, the famous Death Row Records mogul, was at the scene of the crime as Shakur's driver.
Suge J. Knight took to Instagram again on Saturday and wrote, "I got Pac back in the studio. New music coming." "This ain't a joke. New Death Row. Coming soon," he confidently captioned the image.
Knight followed up with a second post on Sunday, reading, "I need the hottest producer to work on a project for Pac," suggesting once more that the late rapper is still alive.
He also hinted that Death Row will be making a comeback under a slightly different new name.
READ MORE: Suge Knight's son says Tupac Shakur is 'alive in Malaysia'
Following major backlash and online mockery, Knight posted a photo claiming, "I'm not on drugs."
"I'm a Knight. They think Knights are a threat. I will continue to move smart. I'm not snitching on Pac never the case. He would want me to protect my family. I'm doing that. We are free. Big Suge 'til then."
The state of the younger Knight's mental health is unclear, but many online commenters pointed out that he might not be stable. Some people laughed it off and others supported Knight's theory, but most Shakur fans were outraged by his disrespectful actions and words.
"If his dad has the rights to Tupac's unreleased music, it's pretty much like Jr. he has him in the studio, right?" pondered one user.

Following the preposterous claims, Knight is now calling himself a "young mogul," "dream maker" and a "life changer."
He launched a website for New Death Row over the weekend and is already fulfilling orders for merchandise, including hats, shirts and sweaters among other apparel.
With hopes to successfully launch the label and gather a healthy roster of musicians, Knight also shared a couple of beats, requesting unsigned artists and producers to message him on Instagram about the possibility of joining New Death Row.
"I need a producer to make a beat to this so we can get the #GhettoStarChallenge started!" he wrote. "Rappers, tag your producer. Producers, DM me."
The original Death Row was founded by the elder Knight, who is recognized for his legacy as a record producer and the co-founder of the label.
READ MORE: Court releases video of Marion 'Suge' Knight running over 2 men
Knight's reputation suffered after a long history of domestic charges and further incarceration. He has long been accused of being involved with the deaths of both Shakur and east coast rival Biggie Smalls, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. Snoop Dogg was among those who pointed a finger.
Death Row Records ran successfully until the death of Shakur.
The lack of activity and production accounted for a huge loss in the company's earnings. Knight then faced multiple charges of assault. He ran Death Row from behind bars until he filed for bankruptcy in 2006 and lost control of the company.
Knight no longer owns the rights to the label, which is likely why his son decided to launch New Death Row — as a way to protect and defend his father's legacy.
WATCH BELOW: Former rap mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight pleads no contest to voluntary manslaughter
Last September, Knight went on trial for a 2015 hit-and-run, in which he ran over two men with his truck after fleeing a potentially violent dispute in Compton, Calif. One of the victims, Terry Carter, unfortunately died from his injuries.
Knight pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and agreed to serve a 28-year sentence in prison — 22 for manslaughter, with the remaining six for his third-strike violation.

What happened to the original Death Row?
Toronto-based entertainment group WIDEawake bought the label for US$18 million in 2009 and continued to put out unreleased music from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Danny Boy and a select few others before they, too, went bankrupt in 2012.
Most recently, Entertainment One (or eOne), purchased the available rights to the Death Row catalog and have continued to profit.

In 2002, he won a certificate of merit for bass workmanship at the 15th International Competition and Exhibition held at the prestigious Violin Society of America in the United States of America.
Mr. Ming Jiang Zhu has won numerous prizes in top international violin making contests since 1986,including two gold medals in 1994 and 2006, a silver medal in 2000 for his violins, and a silver medal in 1996 for his viola at the prestigious Violin Society of America International Competition and Exhibition held every other year in the United States of America.
In 1975, Ming Jiang was chosen to study at the Guangzhou Musical Instuments School, which produced many well-known world class makers. Two years later he was working for the Guangzhou Musical Instrument Research Institute, where scientific research and hand-on practice in instrument making prepared him for his craft. In 1991, he opened his own workshop making and sell his own brand – Mingjiang Violins.

No matter how crystal clear your glass, there is always a small part of the sun light that cannot enter your greenhouse (and reach your crop). This is due to reflection of light by glass. For growers of "light-loving" crops this is very disadvantageous (especially in winter time). It costs production and energy.
Mardenkro's laboratory has succeeded to develop an after-market AR-technology, a coating that can be applied to existing greenhouses: AntiReflect! Measurements of Wageningen UR show that this AR- technology gives a light increase year round which is comparable to present-day commercially available AR-glass.
This AR-technology is introduced during the GreenTech 2016.

CineMarterThe 5th Wave - Invasion of the Teenage Body Snatchers, TV Pilot Edition
Directed by J Blakeson. Produced by Graham King, Tobey Maguire, Lynn Harris, and Matthew Plouffe. Written by Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsman, Jeff Pinkner. Release date: January 22, 2016.
The 5th Wave feels like it's a the pilot episode of a television show. I don't mean that to insult TV; there's a lot of good work being done on the small screen. I mean in terms of its format, plot, and what it ultimately accomplishes. It doesn't have much of a self-contained story, and serves almost exclusively as a way to set up a franchise. The problem with that is that we're given almost no reason to care about the project and, therefore, don't have any desire to sit through any continuations. TV pilots are supposed to be good in order to hook the audience or convince a studio to order a full season. The 5th Wave wouldn't even be worth watching if it was on network TV for free.
The majority of the plot paves the way for potential future installments which may or may not ever actually happen. If you've seen the trailer - which does a better and more succinct version of setting the stage - you'd know that aliens, nicknamed "the Others," have come to Earth and have started wiping out all the pesky humans. They did so in waves: (1) electronic pulse, (2) flood, (3) virus, and (4) Invasion of the Body Snatchers. We're in the fourth wave as the film starts. Remaining humans don't know who they can trust, as the Others can infect anyone's brain and control them.
Our lead is Cassie Sullivan (Chloe Grace Moretz), a teenage girl whose father (Ron Livingston) gets killed and her brother (Zackary Arthur) gets taken by the Army, leaving her all alone in the middle of the woods. She wants to get to the Army base both for the purported safety, as well as to reunite with her brother. So, she spends the entire movie trying to do that. She eventually teams up with a farm hand named Evan (Alex Roe). It's a long, slow journey.
Meanwhile, we also get to watch Cassie's high school crush, Ben (Nick Robinson), at the Army base, leading a squadron of children, because children are now humanity's best hope at killing the Others. Why? Because the Colonel (Liev Schreiber) says so. Something about infected children being easier to detect - it doesn't matter. Ben's storyline runs similarly to Ender's Game, but without any of the in-squad politicking, interesting characters, or awesome sci-fi stuff.

Financial News last night hosted its 15th annual Trading & Technology Awards Europe. The awards celebrate the success stories of trading and technology firms operating in, and supporting, the financial markets over the past year. The winners were announced at a gala event at London's V&A Museum.
Fixed income and derivatives electronic trading venue Tradeweb reclaimed its title as the Best Fixed Income Trading Platform in Europe.
Tradeweb, one of three divisions of Tradeweb Markets, majority-owned by Thomson Reuters, has long dominated this category, although this year it had stiff competition from MarketAxess, which was snapping at its heels in second place.
Both European bond trading platforms have been busy positioning themselves to take advantage of new trading and reporting rules, in particular the European Union's revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive - known as Mifid II - which allows dealers and investors to trade corporate bonds electronically.
Tradeweb Markets hit a record volume of $7.9tr across Tradeweb, Dealerweb and Tradeweb Direct in November 2016, and is now facilitating over $400bn in trading a day. Trading in credit derivatives increased by 153.4% year-on-year in November 2016. Tradeweb, which operates in more than 20 markets, 20 currencies, and 50 countries globally, also recorded an 87.3% growth in rates derivatives. Buyside adoption of axes, which link pre-trade information with trade execution, more than doubled in 2016.
Financial News Awards are independent and fee-free. After extensive research and taking soundings from industry contacts, and reviewing data and industry information, Financial News compiled a shortlist of nominees for the Trading & Technology Awards Europe 2017. Candidates are voted on by a distinguished, independent panel of industry practitioners who cast their vote electronically. Each judge awards nominees a score out of five. The results are then vetted by the editors for conflicts of interest. The highest adjusted average score out of five is the winner.

Thousands of Russians took to the streets on Saturday to protest the fourth inauguration of Vladimir Putin as their president. More than 1,000 protestors have been detained, and opposition leader Alexei Navalny who organized the protests was dragged out of the Moscow rally in Pushkin Square by his ankles and arms kicking and screaming within minutes of his arrival. Detention of protest participants took place in 19 cities, 475 of them in Moscow.
Navalny put out a call for the protests through videos that went viral. He describes the protests as a form of opposition to what he calls Putin's "autocratic tsar-like rule." A total of 90 protests were organized across Russia, including St. Petersburg where more than 1,000 people marched down the famous avenue Nevsky Prospekt. Protestors chanted "He is not our tsar" in reference to Putin, Russia's longest-serving leader since Stalin. Permits for the demonstrations were denied in many cities including Moscow where the sound of the crowds and sirens drowned out a music festival with small attendance.
Photos of the protests have spread across news websites and social media. Images show people opposing Putin from Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea to Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga River, Krasnoyarsk in Siberia, and Khabarovsk in the Far East, according to a report from the Washington Post. Crowds chant that Putin is a thief and call for a Russia without him.
Police in Russia detained over 1,000 people across the country at protests against Putinhttps://t.co/qdvniOTBXL pic.twitter.com/1d2nquzz1y— The Moscow Times (@MoscowTimes) May 5, 2018
Navalny will be charged with organizing an unauthorized meeting, according to the Los Angeles Times. It's not known when he'll face a judge, likely facing yet more time in jail for these kinds of charges. He had hoped to run against Putin in the latest Russian election but was unable to because of felony charges that his supporters feel were falsified to block his ability to run for election. Those charges will likely keep him from being able to run against Putin in the future. Although attendance at Saturday's protests was smaller than the ones Navalny organized before Putin's last inauguration in 2012, the widespread nature of Saturday's many protests that challenge the belief of Putin supporters that Navalny's appeal is small and limited to the urban elite. Putin won 77 percent of the vote in the last election.

Today was/is a pretty special day and as I had a day to work at home, I spent most of it in complete silence, doing my thing on the computer typing up things and watching some Dexter and doing a bit of colouring and just general reflecting stuff – all in all, pretty productive.
3 years ago today this little munchkin made her way into my heart and stole it forever. Her name is Pi.
2 years ago today we opened the doors at D-Toxd for our very first ever guests – the culmination of years of hard work, commitment and dedication to just being a generally healthy guy and working with my best friend to make a small difference in the world.
Not a day goes by where I don't wake up and look around me and see how fortunate and lucky I am to be where I am right now and, if the truth be told, I often have nightmares that its all just a crazy dream and none of it is real and I wake up crying and its all still there.
Things like this only used to happen to other people – they were the ones who did the crazy big things, they were the ones who got things off paper and into reality, they were the ones who were clever enough to do it because all that stuff was WAY out of my league.
I still doubt myself every day. I still think "who am I to do this?" but now, the difference is, I have some pretty special people around me who tell me it's OK when I feel like that and yes, it is all real – realer than real.
In 2006 when I spoke about this for the first time to someone, they looked at me and literally laughed – I walked away and in my heart, did my best to keep the flame burning. The next day, I made the decision to leave Zimbabwe and started slowly building the dream back up again. That's 10 bloody frikkin years ago !!!
Here's my BIGGEST lessons of the last 10 years, in a nutshell, short and sweet: –
1) Never work towards your dreams alone – find someone crazy enough to think they can change the world too and get to know them. And then be brave enough to tell them your crazy dreams too. Jeroen is my best friend and Business Partner and Brother-From-Another-Mother and without him, none of this would ever have happened I don't think.
2) Miracles walk on 4 legs and so does unconditional love. Dogs know exactly what to do and when and love you for YOU ! They see you naked and in the bath and when you sleep too and when you're alone and think nobody is watching so they know YOU and still love YOU !
3) Making your dreams a reality is hard work. Very hard work. Very very very very hard work. But so deeply and truly humbling as well. You'll have more stress than you've ever had and you'll work harder than you've ever worked but you know what? None of that matters when you sit back and see how far you have come.
4) LISTEN to other people and really hear what they have to say – their bravery and courage and willingness to LIVE inspires me every single day. We have literally had the chance to listen to thousands of people since we got into this line of work and every single one of them has something truly special – they are all so different and unique and inspiring so thank you to each and every one of you.
5) NEVER take anything for granted – and this is probably been the toughest and most painful lesson to learn. You just NEVER know what is around the next corner so just make the most of right now, don't put off the little things – smile, cry, scream, talk, say hello, just do it. We have ALL heard it before but people, life is a precious gift.
6) I'm Doing OK ! And that's a big thing for me to say. Watching Dexter helped me with this one. Some people in the world go through some pretty tough stuff in their lives and they just do their best to get by. And just because they've been through that, it doesn't mean they're "broken" or "bad" or anything else. I saw (and went through) some pretty horrible things in the first 5 years of my life – stuff that still comes to visit me in my dreams every now and then. It got less after that but it still carried on. And it made me "OK" – simples ! Oh yes, and sometimes, those "OK" people do some pretty cool things in the world too.
7) If you want something in your life, never let anyone tell you that you can't have it or can't do it. EVER ! Never ever ever !! Just GO FOR IT. There is no "there" and there is no "when this or that happens then I will . . . ." – you keep going. And going if you have to.
8) JUST BE YOU !! Don't worry about impressing anyone. Don't think about saying the right things or doing the right actions. Have good intentions. Make a difference in the world by being YOU. Be nice to other people. Be kind. Be honest. Be emotional. Be sad. Be Happy. Be outrageous and funny and crazy and mad. Wear exercise clothes that make people smile. JUST BE YOU !!!
9) You don't have to look like a cover model to be healthy and happy – but we'll go into that one another day. Let's just say, it's a learning in progress.
I'll end off now – this started out as a post on Facebook and I decided it deserved a place right here – that way, the people who want to read it will read it and it'll be recorded for me because I don't feel like writing in my journal tonight.
Just in case you're wondering who "I" am – my name is Gareth – I am one half of D-Toxd, a pretty cool Health Retreat in Sunny Spain.

Big day today. At ten we're leaving for the carwash (and pray that it dosn't rain) for our church and then after that, as if I won't be tired enough of scrubbing things, I'll be going up to Harris hill on the glider strip to helpout on in the hanger and on the field. Technicaly I'm not part of the Club yet, but I think I can get the hours I put in to count for when I am. And then I can start soaring!
Last night my Dad and I finished (almost) the brick patio around our enterence way that we have been working on for a couple days now. I looks really nice, and we built it all from stuff we had lying around the farm. That dosn't really say much though, as the amount of stuff lying around the farm is very, very large.
This evening, in review.
Went up to Harris Hill and helped get the glider out of the hanger. Then Rachel and Daniel went in it with the instructer. I can't go up until I officialy join, but it was fun watching any way. Rachel expirienced a rather unusual landing but was ok. But we all ended up having to push the glider like 200 yds. back to the other end of the runway. We ended up leaving early because in was raining and they ended up closing the opperation down for the afternoon, which was kind of lucky for the Efthimues as they would have otherwise had to stay until six.
Wish I could have stayed longer at the car wash, but at least I got to see everybody. : )
See you all tomorrow!

No, Facebook Owner Mark Zuckerberg did not buy yacht Ulysses
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg obviously did not buy a 350-foot superyacht Ulysses as originally said by some certain sources. One of the Turkish Newspaper, which primary stated that Mark Zuckerberg purchased the yacht, removed this news from its web page later a representative constantly rejected to several broadcasting sources that Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan had owned the yacht. There's no indication that they made any purchase. We have published this news on 18.01.2018 here and we believe this article makes the correction about the issue now.
The yacht is a 107-meter luxury expedition motor yacht previously owned by New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart, with the name "Ulysses". The yacht was handed over to an anonymous purchaser in October 2017 by Fraser Yachts. In March 2018, the name of the yacht was changed to Andromeda. At present, the boat's owner was assumed to be a Russian billionaire and investor, Yuri Milner.
According to a statement by some news sources, Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg silently purchased a 350-foot expedition superyacht for $150 million in September. Yet, a Zuckerberg representative has severely rejected the Facebook CEO purchased the yacht.
As said by the Turkish broadsheet, the huge yacht "can cruise halfway around the world without any need for fuel refilling and is planned to sustain the hardest climate situations"—making her the right yacht to expect a forthcoming disaster that merely you, the tycoon founder of Facebook, realize about.
Zuckerberg supposedly purchased the superyacht, called "Ulysses," from New Zealand millionaire Graeme Hart. And Ulysses structures, the mega yacht is furnished with a helicopter deck, eight dining places, five lounges, five bars, a gym, a day spa, a sauna, a massage room, a wine tasting room, and a cinema, all inside an interior supposedly created to endure "the chilly rounds and the world's warmest areas."
And Zuckerberg would not—if he purchased the ship, and his representative rejects he did—have to adore these facilities alone: Ulysses is officially appropriate to convey up to 36 guests.
In addition, there is the possibility of a casing filled with a ton of toys, including "Harley Davidson, Super Motorcycles, KTMs and ATVs, jets skis and all the traditional toys" per yacht, website. All and all, it sounds like the perfect escape tool for the big flood future.
Talking to us from some certain resources, a Zuckerberg speaker refused the newspaper's story saying, "The statements related to Zuckerberg buying Ulysses are totally incorrect as he did not purchase any boat." We have connected to the yacht's brokers for additional information.
We have questioned if the Facebook CEO or his family were involved in this sales of yacht, a Zuckerberg representative spoke us: "Mark did not buy it, does not own a yacht and was not involved in the sale." The front-page of this news has been restructured to expose the latest news.

We have a few 480 volt 3 phase generators that supply emergency power to our sewer pump stations. we do not connect the neutral as we do not us 277 volts. but what do we do with it. ground it? bond it?
the generator power passes through an ATS which has the local utility power. and no neutral connection or cables run to the control panel.
If there is do we connect the generator neutral to the utllity neutral or let them both float. the ATS is a 3 pole unit so the neutral is not switched.

By Laurie Halse Anderson
"I was a good girl because I didn't poke holes in my skin (scars noted) or write depressing poetry (journals checked while we were in session) and I ate and ate. They stuffed me like a pink little piggy ready for market. They killed me with mushy apples and pasta worms and little cakes that marched out of the oven and lay down to be frosted. I bit, chewed, swallowed day after day and lied, lied, lied. (Who wants to recover? It took me years to get that tiny. I wasn't sick; I was strong.) But staying strong would keep me locked up. The only way out was to shove in food until I waddled."
Wintergirls is a moving story of two young girls who battle eating disorders. Lia and Cassie have been best friends since Cassie moved into the neighborhood when they were little girls. They shared toys and stories as they grew up but their ultimate test of friendship is when they start sharing the will to be thin, thinner, the thinnest.
As the novel opens Lia finds out that Cassie's body was discovered at a motel room. She was alone. Lia's parents are nervous that Lia will fall back into destructive habits but what they don't know is that Lia never really got over her desire to be the thinnest. Now, on top of that she feels such a strong sense of guilt over not having picked up Cassie's last phone calls to her. She called her 33 times on the day she died.
We follow Lia as she covers up her lack of eating, the obsessive calorie counting, and the lies she tells her family and teachers. You feel that desperation that overtakes her to reach her idea of the perfect number on the scale until the shocking realization that there is no perfect number save, zero. Finally, Lia's emotional state is furthered pushed to the limit when she starts to see Cassie everywhere she goes.
The story is intense and gripping as the reader wonders what will be Lia's ultimate fate and amidst some of the more difficult to read descriptions of what a body goes through when it is malnourished, there is a beautiful poetic quality to the writing. Take this paragraph for instance that just begs to be read out loud:
" 'Dead girl walking,' the boys say in the halls. 'Tell us your secret,' the girls whisper, one toilet to another. I am that girl. I am that space between my thighs, daylight shining through. I am the library aide who hides in Fantasy. I am the circus freak encased in beeswax. I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame. When I get close, they step back. The cameras in their eyeholes record the zit on my chin, the rain in my eyes, the blue water under my skin. They pick up every sound on their collar microphones. They want to pull me inside of them, but they're afraid. I am contagious."
Wintergirls is not an easy read because this book makes you realize that there is no why or why not about an eating disorder. There is a lot of pain for those who suffer and for the family and friends who surround them. But in talking openly about the subject I think that's already a step in the right direction. Just as Speak by the same author this is another fantastic read.

Specimen Large Rhododendron & Azalea Large plants need careful handling to establish them, wild shelter, good soil preparation and watering in dry spells.
Specimen plants are too large to be posted, so are for collection only.
Large orders £1500+ can sometimes be sent using specialist horticultural carriers.
Seedling hybrids from Glendoick breeding are unique plants, each slightly different, usually to colour. Specimen plants do not attract quantity discounts and we do not export them unless you come and collect them.
An alternative to planting one specimen plant is to plant a clump of 3 normal sizes plants which in 3-4 years should produce a large clump, probably larger than the single specimen plant. In windy, cold, exposed sites we recommend planting smaller plants as larger specimens can be hard to establish.
Specimen plants can be supplied to the UK only.

BY PAMELA JO BOWMAN – MESA ARIZONA – This summer started with so much promise! We went to LA and then to NY. My son came home after being overseas for two years. Then life shifted. Issues arose and all of a sudden I can't seem to find sense or reason for so many things. At night I lay in bed and I try to understand and put things right, but I can't. I can't fix things or people. It is what it is. All I know is that I felt like a pressure cooker without a release valve. I knew I was going to explode soon. Everywhere I looked I saw a problem I was unable to solve.
We decided to go spend the night up in the white mountains where it was cooler. To tell you the truth I didn't want to go. I thought I would still be too close to all these unresolved issues. We ended up going. We arrived safely, unpacked and I sat down and fell fast asleep. When I awoke this morning I could see outside the window. I could see the pines. My son said he saw a bunny running across the meadow. I ate hotcakes on the back porch and watched Ciera swing happily. I breathed the air and wanted to just stop time and treasure the moment. Chris got a bee in his bonnet to take a drive down to some springs. Again, relunctenly we all piled into the vehicles and off we went.
We weren't prepared to swim, but we swam anyway. We splashed and rode the current and remembered how it felt to feel. A magical two hours of playing with my kids. Jumping rocks and sliding down the rapids and feeling the murky ground between our toes. Latter we ate pizza at an enchanting little italian restaurant. We were famished, but happy, even giddy. It felt good to be alive again.
I needed this day to remind me why I am willing to fight the fight against the goliaths of this world. They are worth it and so am I. This summer started with so much promise. It has ended with renewed hope and restored energy. I am back. Ready to fight the good fight…and even the bad ones.

Last week's budget contained significant cuts to environmental programs and resource management programs across several ministries.
The Ministry of Environment lost $25 million in program spending which will mean a 58% cut in environmental protection, a 54% spending cut for the office of the Climate Action Secretariat, and an 11.4% cut for stewardship programs. There are also significant reductions to the budgets for environmental assessment, parks, and compliance.
This will mean less support for the programs that conserve BC's biodiversity, protect species at risk, monitor and report on air and water quality, respond to environmental emergencies, set emission standards, and address climate change.
In the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands $20 million was cut from the crown land restoration program. This is a 78% reduction in funds available to clean-up toxins on contaminated crown land sites. There were also cuts in agricultural development and strategic industry development programs. One million dollars was cut from the Ministry of Forests & Range compliance and enforcement program, meaning forest companies will be subject to fewer spot audits and will be left to do more self-monitoring. There were also cuts in the Integrated Lands Management Bureau, timber pricing and BC Timber sales.
Even the province's home energy-efficiency retrofitting grant program was stopped.
"British Columbians want to see government taking strong steps on habitat protection, pollution control, energy and water conservation, and climate change, says BCGEU President Darryl Walker. "Where has this government's green commitment gone?"
The budget also effects a number of ministry workers throughout the province. Sixteen BCGEU members in the Ministry of Forests and Range offices received redundancy notices last week. Employees were told last week the staff count will be reduced by 248 a 14% reduction over the next few years.
Walker says, "the gradual elimination of large numbers of jobs, combined with significant cuts in program spending can only mean important environmental protection and resource management will not occur."

Building greener high-rise
Green transition 19 March 2018 Tobias Baur
The number of green high-rise buildings in urban cities around the world has become increasingly popular due to its ability to meet the requirement of a megacity's rapid development while achieving excellent human conditions.
Tobias Baur
Urban density remains as a pressing issue in most developed countries. Singapore is known as one of the most populated cities in the world dealing with land scarcity. The increasing ground stress demands creative ways of intensifying land use through building vertically with a range of building systems and usages. Coupled with the country's identity as a model garden city, the progressive integration of green and blue infrastructure becomes an imperative gesture in developing a sustainable, biophilic eco-living.
The number of green high-rise buildings in urban cities around the world has become increasingly popular due to its ability to meet the requirement of a megacity's rapid development while achieving excellent human conditions. The sustainability of the building is an important factor as it constantly ensures good quality of urban life for its users.
Some examples of green high-rise around the world can be seen in urban counties such One Central Park by Jean Nouvel in Sydney Australia, Bosco Verticale by Boeri Studio in Milan Italy, and The Met by WOHA Architects in Bangkok Thailand.
When designing a high-rise, the Ramboll high-rise design team considers an integrated design that combines structure and all other services. Creating a quality of life for building users is a priority, placing people at the heart of every design. Ramboll creates liveability of high-rise buildings and provides sustainable cost-effective solutions.
Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl have recently completed their work as landscape architects on Kampung Admiralty, Singapore's flagship "vertical village" which has transformed a compact 2.2 acre site into a dynamic community heart where integrated social and ecological spaces enables an evolution of active living. Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl collaborated with renowned architects, WOHA Architects, who have completed some of the most exemplary green high-rise projects in Singapore and the region, such as Oasia Downtown and Newton Suites.
The concept of Kampung Admiralty explores designing layers of green and blue infrastructure woven into the building that intuitively responded to the community's well-being, nurturing the youth, and graceful ageing came with a twist. The development was sought to connect residents and the greater Admiralty neighbourhood to the historical "Kampung" village spirit within today's highly densified urban context, to forge a deeper symbiotic relationship between people and nature, to develop enhanced eco-lifestyle possibilities through natural place making in and around the built environment. Serving as a model development for active living space where nature and people are at the heart.
Biophilic Living
The human environment acts as a vital factor to consider when building vertically. The living environment changes as we progress upwards, forming a wider gap between human and nature on the ground level. As a high-rise building gets increasingly saturated, greenery will become extremely beneficial for both environmental sustainability and human satisfaction. The use of green materials acts as a tool for architects to redefine a space, clad on the cold surface, and support the various functions of a building.
With Kampung Admiralty, nature was the integral element throughout the design process. It also meant more than just a revitalization of "Kampung Spirit" for Singaporeans. It is a shift in ways we envision built space, dense livability and proximity to green and blue. Continuous layered vegetation and integrated blue features for climate change adaptation and ecological interaction are weaved within the building from ground to top. The building was designed with the intention of bringing nature and green gardens found on ground level back up onto the high-rise building, allowing users to reconnect with nature, as well as create a natural environment to live in.
The proximity to green outdoor features help increase human comfort and ease, encouraging outdoor physical activities and help develop a sense of belonging in the natural environment. As proven that plants can make you feel better, a research by Miller-McCune mentions that the positive impact of nature on the human condition whereby having plants, going for a walk in the park, or even looking at a landscape poster could produce psychological benefits, reduce stress, and improve concentration1. A biophilic design to a building is an innovative way to ensure that natural environments are created.
Ramboll Studio Dreiseitl developed a diverse and dynamic planting palette to serve as an inviting public environment for active living, including community gardens that display sets of local fruit tree species that were once in abundance at kampungs, reminding the old of familiar memories of the past and the young of their history. As colourful seasonal plants are rarely seen in a tropical setting, the ever-changing landscape of flowering, fruiting and colour-changing foliage can create intrigue and be a conversational piece that leads to social bonding among the community. Over a 100% of landscape replacement was achieved through ground level planting, intensive green roofs and vertical green walls.
Blue Integration
Kampung Admiralty stands out as an excellent example of urbanized developments that strive to harvest, cleanse and recycle rainwater for non-domestic use such as irrigation and water features. A major part of rainfall runoff from the upper strata (level 9,8,6 & 3) are collected and filtered through downstream Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) treatment features such as vegetated filters (at level 8,7,6) and bio-retention basin located at the central courtyard. The cleansed water together with the direct runoff from the two tower roofs is conveyed directly to the two harvesting tanks at the second level, which are sufficiently sized for three consecutive days of irrigation and eco-pond refill. In case these tanks are full, the west tower tank will discharge directly to the external drain while the east tower tank will overflow to the eco-pond in level one which helps to top-up this water body.
Other than the water's aesthetic and therapeutic values, the presence of the eco-pond in the first level also helps to promote biodiversity and natural cooling effects in this urban context. To maintain an output of high water quality for the eco-pond and to minimize the risk of algae blooms in tropical Singapore, a cleansing biotope was introduced to recirculate and cleanse the eco-pond's water. Rainfall runoff from the adjacent areas is cleansed and conveyed into the eco-pond via the vegetated filter which removes sediments and nutrient amounts from the incoming storm water runoff.
The average annual rainfall in Singapore is 92 inches (2340mm). This means over a million gallons of tap water can be conserved each year if the storm water runoff is stored in the rainwater harvesting tank and reused for irrigation. This translates to approximately the average water consumption amount of 200 public housing (5-room flats) in one month, a huge saving figure for such a multi-functional urban development located in the heart of a dense residential area.
Total Building Optimization
The irrigation of the large amount of landscape through the utilization of gravity flow, minimising on the use of pumping systems allowing water to naturally flow down the building structure reduces energy consumption. The energy usage is reduced and could in turn be tailored for other parts of the building such as flushing of toilets.
The lush greenery forms a contiguous horizontal canopy, capable of lowering surface and air temperatures through providing shade and evapotranspiration2. This creates cooling microclimates, dissipating urban heat island effects which in return reduces energy such as air-conditioning usage, keeping the building and its users naturally cool.
Just like how any sustainable and green high-rise should be designed, the design approach of Kampung Admiralty circles around the harmonisation of urban landscape, built environment and ecosystem services. The results come to play before the public eyes, offering stakeholders, investors, officials opportunities to see how we address the contemporary challenges of resource management, environmental protection and quality of life.

Jane's daughter got severely ill during 2015… And because of this unexpected turn of events, she was constantly on and off at work. It almost caused her to resign. Her salary got less and less and she couldn't afford to pay her accounts any longer. Jane and her husband fell into a financial crisis, even though her husband was working. Living expenses also got out of hand and the couple had to walk the unfortunate road of divorce. With all the attorney fees and the creditors on Jane's back, she had a severe setback in her life because of DEBT.
Being over-indebted is NOT delightful, no two ways about it. But, life happens and sometimes women just don't have control over the financial implications certain situations can bring. Zeeva's team encourages women to not lose hope and to take control of their finances as well as their decision making when it comes to their money. The team therefore shares some of the most important tips women can take note of when it comes to finances and minimalising their debt.
- Financial goals are important: Ladies need to stop comparing their past financial reality with where they are right now. They need to envision their financial future and write down their goals, where they want their finances to be in a few years' time. Financial goals include short (saving for the Christmas dinner), medium (getting rid of a clothing account's debt) and long-term goals (investing in a retirement annuity).
- Budget, budget, budget: Women's financial goals are going nowhere without a proper budget in place. There is no need to make use of a complicated budget template that adds to their daily juggles or frustrations. They should rather make use of a user-friendly one (try Zeeva's template) and a phone app like: 22seven or Spending Tracker.
- Add some discipline & endurance: Ladies need to make deliberate choices and stick to them: looking high and low for ways to clear their excessive debt and to save whenever they can. They can add regular discipline to their routine when it comes to saving and splurges. The result(s) of their endurance will be worth it in the long run.
- Savings are lifesavers: There are various blogs, social media and web posts that give handy tips on being savings-wise. July was also National Savings Month – take a look at Zeeva's article. Ladies need to remember – it they are not saving, they are surely making more debt.
- Get rid of debt: Getting rid of debt is not easy and won't happen overnight. But, women can choose to take back control of their debt situation by clearing their different debts bit by bit. They can start getting rid of a 'small' debt like a clothing account first, and move on to get the next 'bigger' debt like the car's instalment, out of the way. Women can also ask for professional help, if, they are completely overwhelmed with their current debt situation. Bankers, financial planners and debt counsellors are available to offer the best assistance to help them with excessive debt.
Although Jane got confronted with a big stumbling block – DEBT, she was later offered a permanent employment position. The tables have turned and Jane is doing much better now. Because of Jane's stable income, and seeking professional help, she is getting rid of her debt with an affordable payment plan.
