Yassar Yaqub's grieving family have released the last video taken of him before he died.
The video, released to the Examiner, shows Yassar and his family just hours before he was shot dead by police on the M62.
Yassar's father Mohammed said the video was the last one taken of his son before he died - and since then they have watched it over and over.
He said: "It's very precious to me. It was of the mannequin challenge and he was having fun. It's very emotional for any of my family to watch it. It has a very special poignancy for us. My wife and I watch it every night before we go to sleep."
Yassar, a father-of-two, was shot through the windscreen of his white Audi at Ainley Top in a pre-planned operation on the evening of January 2 following a tip-off to police that he was in possession of an illegal firearm.
An inquest later heard that a gun had been found in the footwell of the passenger seat where Yassar was sitting when he was shot three times in the chest.
Mr Yaqub said the family will pay an emotional visit to the scene of his death on May 18 – four months after his killing.
Mohammed Yaqub and his family will visit Ainley Top on the day when his beloved son Yassar would have celebrated his 29th birthday.
An inquest later heard that a gun had been found in the footwell of the passenger seat where Yassar was sitting when he was shot three times in the chest.
His heartbroken father Mr Yaqub, 59, of Crosland Moor said: "May 18 is Yassar's birthday and we have a lot of things planned for that day. In the morning Safia and myself will visit his grave as we do every day.
"At 5pm all his family and friends will visit it again and afterwards we are going to Ainley Top for an hour. We will leave flowers and pay our respects to my perfect son who was my gemstone.
"Then we will come back home and there will be readings from the Koran, balloons and a birthday cake – very similar to the one that we used to celebrate his birthday last year. It will be a celebration of his life."
He also released to the Examiner a video of Yassar taken less than 18 hours before his death.
He said: "It's very precious to me. It was of the mannequin challenge and he was having fun. It's very emotional for any of my family to watch it. It has a very special poignancy for us. My wife and I watch it every night before we go to sleep."
Mr Yaqub said he was also planning his next legal moves after a tense meeting last month with the Independent Police Complaints Commission, (IPCC), which is examining the shooting.
Yesterday (Thursday) he showed the Examiner a letter sent to IPCC deputy chairman Sarah Green by his solicitors Imran Khan of London, who represented Stephen Lawrence's family following his murder in a racially motivated attack in 1993.
Michael Mansfield QC, the barrister acting for Yaqub's family, is said to have told IPCC investigators at the meeting that their approach was reminiscent of "the bad old days" when families were treated with "utter contempt by the police and those charged with investigating police misconduct".
However IPCC Commissioner Derrick Campbell said he felt the meeting had been productive.
He said: "Along with the investigative team I spent more than two hours with the family, discussing our progress so far and outlining what we hope to achieve in the investigation.
"I have always said this is likely to be a lengthy investigation and have been honest with Yassar's family about this.
"We have always listened to the family's concerns and we will continue to share information as far as possible. There are limits on what information we can share when the investigation is ongoing.
"We appreciate that this is frustrating for the family, however, it is essential to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
"Also, the IPCC has to be mindful of the ongoing active criminal proceedings by the police and a possible inquest. These matters, though independent of the IPCC, will have an impact on areas we cannot yet investigate without the risk of prejudicing these proceedings.
"During the meeting on 12 April we were able to outline the work in several key areas that has been done so far.
"This includes interviews with witnesses at the scene, continued forensic analysis of evidence collected since the incident. We have also collated the detailed accounts from all the officers involved. This is a large amount of information to process and review. We also confirmed that no notices of misconduct have been served on any officer at this time, but this is something that we are obliged to keep under constant review.
"However, I would like to reiterate that this investigation remains a high priority. It is an in-depth, complex investigation requiring us to work with care and focus.
"The team working on this case, as well as extra resource when needed, is dedicated, highly skilled and experienced. Enquiries are continuing to determine how the incident occurred and I urge all witnesses and anyone who has information to assist the IPCC.
"I understand the family and the local community want the IPCC to conclude this investigation as soon as possible – I hold the same view.
"The most important thing for all concerned is that we look at this investigation from every available angle and continue to be thorough and rigorous."

Logitech has devoted plenty of resources to its gaming products. They produce mice designed for quick responses and headsets that offer an edge in competitive shooters. Despite the slew of products aimed at gamers, Logitech has another side to it.
The company makes products for office work. These are offerings like web cams for teleconferencing and remotes for presentations. The flagship for these products is the MX Series, which began as mouse but expanded to a keyboard.
These aren't devices used for fragging enemies in a high-pressure matches of "Overwatch;" instead, they allow creative types and coders to get their ideas on the screen quickly and easily. That's ideally what happens with peripherals. The best ones are invisible and become the extension of the user.
Aside from my duties writing about video games, I edit video for the Bay Area News Group. That puts the MX Master 3 mouse and the MX Keys keyboard in my wheelhouse. Both devices have been optimized for several programs I use — Google Chrome, Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop. The duo makes my life easier by cutting down on key strokes and removing extraneous movement from my workflow.
With the MX Master 3, the device is sturdily made with a nice heft. It sports a sensor that has a 4000 DPI resolution. Although it isn't as precise as Logitech's 16K sensor on the G502, the MX Master 3 doesn't need that. It functions well on any surface, including glass, but tracking can be an issue. At times, the mouse pointer jumps around and doesn't move smoothly on the screen.
Despite that, the MX Master 3 is a workhorse mouse that's built for any condition. It doesn't need a specialized mouse pad or mouse skates. It's designed to be carried in backpacks for travel. It's the type of device one can use on the couch arms of an airport lounge or at an office desk.
That utilitarian design shows up in the buttons and scroll wheels. The MX Master 3 has no shortage of these. The device has three buttons and a scroll wheel on the thumbside while the top end has four buttons and a scroll wheel. The device is built for right-handers and every button is accessible with a hand in a natural position. No awkward stretching or movement needed.
The most impactful feature of the MX Master 3 is the MagSpeed wheel. Made from a solid piece of steel, this element is different mice because the wheel is controlled by electromagnets installed inside. It creates a quiet but precise scrolling experience. Logitech did a great job of creating mechanical feeling that seamlessly transitions from tactile line-by-line scrolling to breezy free-spinning. Unfortunately, the thumb wheel doesn't have the same technology built in, but it does the job.
The MagSpeed wheel lets users go through hundreds of lines of code or carefully pore over a paragraph. The feature carries over to other programs as well. With Premiere Pro, I can scroll across the timeline using the thumb wheel. I can add markers using the middle scroll-wheel button at the top. Users can customize the commands to match their work space. On Photoshop, the thumb wheel can be used to modify the brush size while the side buttons can be responsible for undo and redo commands.
The gesture button is the only one I have an issue with. It's not as intuitive as one would expect. It's mostly used in across all programs as a way to go from one desktop to another, but it can be modified for other purposes.
As for the battery life, expect the MX Master 3 to go 70 days on a full charge. The device will notify users if the battery is low, and thank to fast charging, it can go three hours on one minute of charging. I wish it supported wireless charging via the Powerplay mousepad, but that's more of a gaming feature.
Its counterpart, the MX Keys, has that same sturdy construction. It's slim for a full keyboard and built out of a single metal plate. At 1.78 pounds, the weighty device will stay on the desk and won't wobble or slide around.
Unlike gaming mechanical keyboards, the MX Keys uses a membrane and features keys with indentations for fingers. The travel time on pressing the keys feel fast and there's a nice quick bounce with each easy actuation. The device is also quiet, so users don't bother co-workers in the office. It's comparable to typing on my Razer Blade laptop keyboard.
The one notable feature on the MX Keys is smart illumination. It has sensors that detect when a user's hands are on the keyboard and another one that tracks the lighting of a room. The backlight adjusts to the brightness of the space and if hands are actually on the peripheral. This allows the MX Keys to go a full 10 days on a full charge and it can last five months with the backlight turned off.
Aside from the fancy lighting, the MX Keys has a robust set of features which that one would expect from modern keyboards. Users can raise and lower the volume using the function keys. On top of that, the same row of keys can also be used to dim the backlight on the keyboard or the lighting screen.
The duo can be connected via one USB receiver. If users don't have enough ports on their laptop, they can connect seamlessly via Bluetooth. That's a major convenience if one owns a Macbook Pro, which only has Thunderbolt ports.
The Master series also features the option to connect to multiple setups. If users are attached to the mouse and keyboard combo, they can set up three different profiles and just bring the devices with them from home to office and back.
It's the cherry on top of a versatile suite of office products that helps users bring their ideas to the screen as quickly and as easily as possible.

Rockhampton Council throws support behind 6000 plant project
THE Rockhampton Regional Council has thrown its support behind the Fitzroy Basin Association's plan to restore the vegetation in the First Turkey area.
The FBA submitted an application to the Federal Government's 20 Million Trees grant program seeking funding to plant 6000 native plants, thereby converting around three hectares of environmental weeds into semi-evergreen vine thicket (which is presently listed as endangered).
Councillor Drew Wickerson said the council voted to restore the area as it desperately needed attention after being ravaged by several factors over the years.
"This is a critical project. The area is really significant, there's some remnants of quite rare vine thicket vegetation at First Turkey where we're looking at so it's very important to rehabilitate the areas lost over time," Cr Wickerson said.
"A few years ago we had a massive bushfire go through that area, feral pigs like digging around in the ground looking for their food and also the spread of weed species has had a serious impact as well.
"We have committed over $18,000 of in kind support, we're supplying 4000 of the right planet species, staff to do weed control, mulch, and other services we can provide through our parks and recreation department.''
Cr Wickerson said the work would not only be aesthetically pleasing but also vital for the ecology that lives there. "We have a responsibility to do that wherever we can," he said.
He said the proposed project would collaborate with and receive support from community groups such as Greening Australia, Capricornia Correctional Centre, Rockhampton Mountain Bike Club and community volunteers.
FBA senior project officer Shannon van Nunen said the project would replicate the hugely successful two-year revegetation project completed in June at Mt Etna National Park which attracted more than 100 community volunteers who planted more than 8000 trees.
"We are expecting to hear if we are successful or not over the next couple of months," he said.
If funding is granted, work will begin before December 1 and be completed by June 30, 2020.

How Heloise Halted Heresy: Meta-Commentary on Rhetorical Exchanges (Or, Why I Am Allowed to Write This Thesis)
MetadataShow full item record
Meta-rhetoric, or rhetoric that addresses rhetoric itself, is continuously metamorphosing and growing in acceptance. Discussions of this issue date back to ancient times, with Plato's Phaedrus examining the morality of practicing rhetoric and its instruction in school. "Writing about writing" has continued throughout the ages, with notable contributions from the figures I will examine in this study: Heloise, Sor Juana, Alison Bechdel, Cheryl Glenn, and Jan Swearingen. This topic has always been volatile, especially with the purposeful exclusion and oppression of women. For hundreds of years, women of note have been attempting to break down this wall, with religious, political, and personal motivations and goals. Though women have achieved many notable victories, the issue still bears significance, as gender identity is a timeless point of contention. Beginning with Sappho, this thesis will examine the roots of meta-rhetoric in women's writing. Other rhetoricians throughout the ages will be added to the canon, the common thread being the use of meta-rhetoric to achieve freedom for women's voices. The issue will be brought to the present day with a discussion of gender identity and sexuality, driven by the writing of Alison Bechdel, and of women in the academic sphere, exemplified by the work of Jan Swearingen. This discussion will assess how being a woman affects everything from an academic career to intimate relationships within society. This thesis will argue that Sappho was a spark that ignited a fire of acceptance that continues to burn. While rooted in antiquity, meta-rhetoric continues to be a cutting-edge issue, which deserves more respect in both commercial and academic spheres, particularly to assist in understanding the contributions of those rhetors who are not always conventional, with a special focus on women. The study of meta-rhetoric has allowed women to be seen and heard in academic settings by disseminating their ideas and texts. The same advances should be made accessible to women outside of academia, in the commercial world.

"I should have put a stop to that craftsman shit a long time ago," Guy Clark says. "It makes my skin crawl. It's nobody's fault but mine because I didn't step up and say, 'No, that's not right.' I consider what I do poetry. I don't need to prove I'm a poet in every line and I'm not afraid to speak plainly in my songs. Not everything needs to be a metaphor and I don't need lofty words. But it is my obligation as a poet to be faithful to the verse. I write what I know. I write what I see."

This weekend is the annual tomato festival at the Bells Bend Neighborhood Farm, and the farmers lay out an all-you-can-eat buffet of the many varieties of heirloom tomatoes grown there: Cherokee greens, Cherokee purples, zebras, Japanese black trifeles, Ozark pinks, Pruden's purples, and best of all, sungolds, which are small and firm tomatoes that taste warm and almost salty, like they were plucked from the vine on a hot afternoon just moments before they made it to this table. And amid all this sweet bounty: a square dance.
An interview with Amanda Shires.
I was trying to be on my own in Lubbock, playing my own songs, but I guess people didn't see me like that. It was my fault, because I had to pay my rent, so I was still taking sideperson work, which kept me from being known as just that. I had written some songs with Thrift Store, but it was never an idea that I could do it on my own, solo, until Billy Joe told me to. He even said, "There's no loyalty in side work. This week, fiddle is cool, but next week, it might be a dobro, and then where will you be?"
Could Lucy Negro Redux beckon a new era for ballet?—an Omnivore essay from the Fall 2019 issue.
I believe artwork is more interesting—and will invite new audiences—when a wide swath of people are allowed to tell a variety of stories. There's just one issue here: most ballet audiences don't come to the theater to think about representation. Ballet is a form of escapist entertainment that celebrates the athletic prowess of the human body, and the fact is, the bodies on stage are usually white.
We both loved Gary Stewart, and we both loved Grace.
My wife Grace's father was a big man. He wasn't much more than six feet tall, but I think folks thought of him as taller because he carried himself large. He tried being a hippie once, he said, but couldn't abide the non-violence (too many people needed to get their asses kicked). At the first job he ever had, on a ranch, he got a business card with his official title: COWBOY. He kept that card. He wore a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. He had the best hunting dogs in Levy County. For a while he ran a sawmill. For a while he was a watermelon farmer, then a beekeeper, then he raised buffalo on the family farm. That's just a small sampling. His name was John. He went by Chuck.

I said, "I don't know, what are we doing?" She said, "Well, the doctor says I can't drive but I can eat, so why don't you pick me up and we'll go to lunch at the club?" So I get to her house at 11 A.M., and for some reason that day she wanted to show me certain things about her house. She walked me through, telling me stories about everything. It was the greatest three hours that I've ever spent with someone who wasn't family, but it was not with Minnie Pearl, it was with Sarah Ophelia Cannon."

Shimano Std GearBought to do a fresh gear cable install on my bike to give it some TLC worked great and held up fine since the summer when i put them in.
Decent Quality, Good Value and Easy To FitThe kit has all you'll need to replace your tired, rusting and sticky gear cables. There's nothing really exciting to tell you except that the quality is as good as you'd expect from Shimano and the kit also includes the end caps you'll need.
The only extra you may need is a cable sheath if your cables are internal. Use it to guide your new cables through the frame to avoid hours of frustration and expletives!
Finally, make sure you invest in a good quality set of cable cutters and use the old outer sheaths as a template for the length of your cuts and you'll have this done in no time.

Social homework helper platform Bapul announced on Mar. 17 that it will soon release updates to its web and mobile apps. The new version will enable users to register and login using their Naver accounts, and will integrate Naver Encyclopedia onto the platform.
With a vision of making collaborative learning easy, Bapul was founded in 2011 as an online social network for peer-sourcing tricky homework problems. In many ways Bapul resembles Q&A platform Quora but primarily targets middle school and high school students. To save students from using search engines not optimized for complex and narrow queries, the platform instead has its users post questions as pictures. Students can use their phones to take pictures of homework problems from textbooks, school, and hagwons (private academies) and upload them directly via the app.
The platform is Korea's second most downloaded app in the education category. It is outranked by only EBS, the country's state-run educational television broadcasting company. Bapul now has around 300,000 middle school and high school users. and has in 2013 raised $660K in Series A funding. Investors for the company include Capstone Partners, SK Planet, and Asan Nanum Foundation.
The app's new Naver login feature comes much from user feedback. Even with the stronghold of Facebook and Google, local portal website Naver still attracts the majority of South Korean Internet traffic. Many own an account on the portal website, which offers a variety of platform services including the long-standing Q&A platform Naver Jisik. The company believes that the added social login feature will make Bapul easier to join for Naver Jisik frequenters.
Bapul also expects the newly integrated encyclopedia to further enrich users' learning experiences. Rather than just posting answers, question solvers can now also attach encyclopedia entries to their responses. This allows users to receive even more comprehensive explanations on how to solve the problem.
Bapul CEO Min Hee Lee hopes that the new feature will help students learn smarter and improve their grades.
"Rather than simply tackle as many problems as possible, students need to obtain a solid understanding of the underlying theory behind homework problems," said Lee.

Watching Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn last week, wearing my 'therapist's hat' it was very clear psychologically what was going on. In relational terms (or rather 'non-relational' as neither of them wanted to develop a genuine rapport with the other) it was a perfect example of a 'dirty fight'. Each wanted to score points on the other; each wanted the other to look a fool, contradict them, or make a gaffe – such are the dynamics of this and most elections.
Sadly however, the same dynamic can easily creep into our most intimate relationships and we can end up damaging or even destroying something we really care about.
Disagreements and differences are there whenever two people come close together. Our temperaments, backgrounds, upbringing, abilities and cultures guarantee it. The question then is what we do when those come to the surface. It may be an argument over how to treat or spend money. Or how to discipline the children. Or the state you leave the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom in. Or your expectations about time for yourself. Or whose job it is to put out the wheelie bin. Or how you spend Christmas. Or whatever – the list is, quite literally, endless.
The question then is what we do with those differences. In some cases the advice 'to walk a mile in (the other's) moccasins' – and not to judge until you have done – can be very helpful but experience and research show that that only helps sometimes. Much more useful are the principles of 'fair fighting' that have been developed in various therapeutic schools in recent years. Good summaries of these can be found on the Gottman Institute website
Or on the youtube clip below
These recognise that disagreements are part of every relationship and that even what appears to be a minor matter to one or other has the capacity to become toxic if handled badly. Criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling need to be replaced, in Gottman's terms, by ensuring a gentle 'start-up' (by talking about your feelings and expressing your own needs positively); by building a culture of appreciation; by taking responsibility; and very importantly, through physiological self-soothing (taking a break from the argument by doing something soothing and distracting for, say, half an hour, before returning to it).
Huffington Post has 14 tips for fighting fair 14 Tips for Fighting Fair
And Psychologia lists 30 Fair Fighting Rules for Couples
The message of them all is much the same. Arguments are inevitable in any relationship but don't run away from them or fall into the toxicity of 'dirty fighting'. Rather learn and practice the principles of 'fair fighting'. Learn these by starting deliberately with some small disagreements where there isn't so much emotional charge – then you will be better able to handle the major ones when they come along.
At Coupleworks we often work with couples who come and are so entrenched in their positions that they are really struggling to step back and de-escalate the rows.
What I suggest when I am working with couples..
- Specify the issue – just keep to one topic and don't bring in lots of things at the same time
- Choose a suitable time and place – not before you are going to bed or off to work and preferably don't use the bedroom
- Do not interrupt – and if needed determine before hand exactly how long each will have to speak – eg 3 or 5 minutes.
- Use 'I statements' – I feel X when you do Y
- Amplify 4 by being clear about the new behaviour you would love to see from your partner eg closing cupboard doors rather than leaving them open
- Listen to each other and repeat back what you have heard without placing any of your own interpretation on it.
- Don't drag in the past
- Agree to differ
- Agree to compromise. Generally partners feel much more able to compromise when their feelings have been heard and understood. Compromise isn't one partner always giving way to the other.
While all of this may seem rather programmatic, in my experience if couples practice these techniques regularly, they gradually become the natural learned behaviour of their relationship. The rows do not end and the anger does not disappear but the issues are handled in a much more creative way.

You would probably call Howler the "early adopter" since when his mates just started appreciating the convenience of wearing clothing, using guns and explosives, Howler is truly enjoying life as it comes.
Crime is a disease. Meet the cure. The tag line for the 1986 Sylvester Stallone movie, Cobra, seems very fitting to apply to a mini sculpted with that movie character in mind. Howler was a mini that I wasn't too enamoured with when I first saw it, although I don't know why. When it came to painting it however, that all changed. I really enjoyed painting the model, and finished it quite quickly, basing the colour scheme on the classic 'Cobra' image.
In game play Howler offers good mobile fire support, which can be exploited by Hero or Villain teams. He can also offer battlefield control through two of his exclusive actions - Howls and Stare Down. At heart though, Howler remains a quintessential 80's action hero, which means he works best alone in some ways.
In my view this is a great fun sculpt by Paul Muller, that confounded my initial reservations, so much so that it is one of the most enjoyable models to paint that I can recall in years.

The Maxwell Award announced its list of 18 semifinalists on Monday, which would not normally be a noteworthy event. Except this one is, for one reason: one of the 18 was a complete unknown just one month ago.
Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate was included on the list after a month in which he exploded on the national scene and carried Arizona into the thick of the Pac-12 championship hunt.
The sophomore from Inglewood, Calif., completed a month in which he completed 41-of-58 passes (70.7 percent) for 743 yards (12.8 per attempt) with six touchdowns against three interceptions while rushing 59 times for 840 yards and eight touchdowns. Arizona went 4-0 in the month of October, averaging 48.8 points per game in the process.
The Wildcats are now ranked fifth nationally in rushing at 338.6 yards per game and second with 7.20 yards per carry — despite Tate playing sparingly in Arizona's first two games and missing the next two entirely. Arizona is ranked No. 23 in the latest AP poll and can take the driver's seat in the Pac-12 South with a win over No. 17 USC in a game that will be televised by ESPN (at 10:45 p.m. ET).
With another strong performance in a win over the Trojans, Tate will move himself into the conversation for a more prestigious, stiffarmed trophy.

Author(s): Eugene Znosko-Borovsky
Clear, profound examinations of just what each opening is intended to do and how opponent can counter. Many sample games. With this book, all one needs to know are the fundamental rules of chess and ordinary chess notation in order to gain a thorough understanding of the all-important opening game in its many variations. Simply, clearly, and with keen appreciation of the amateur's usual limitations, International Grandmaster Znosko-Borovsky explains the importance of rapid development of the pieces, occupation of the center, the relation of the opening to the general plan of the player, and the significance of control of the center. Each major opening is then detailed and analyzed with the emphasis on explanation that is easy to follow. Special attention is paid to traps - both the mistakes often made by amateurs, and the classic traps, such as Greco's and Tarrasch's. "Chess is a game of understanding and not of memory," says Znosko-Borovsky, and he promotes the reader's understanding of the openings by discussing purpose and plan frequently, as against memorization of moves. Those acquainted with Znosko-Borovsky's other books, How Not to Play Chess and The Art of Chess Combination will rediscover in this book Znosko-Borovsky's unique clarity, ease of style, and profundity. "In the teaching of chess he may claim to have no superior." - Philip W. Sergeant.

(Time-lapse video below
It's spring! Sort of. Actually, we're still in Sprinter where I live, so it's snow shovels one day and flip-flops and shades the next. But the dandelions can't be fooled. Fake-daisy-delions are popping up all over our yard, even amid the patches of snow.
Why should it matter? They're kind of cute, and many people–who don't have lawns to mow–love them. But thanks to those croquet-mad Victorians and a voracious lawn care industry, millions of lawn-owners slavishly strive to maintain yards full of thick virginal grass–and nothing else!
Good luck with that. I'm no purist. I like my Scott's-free yard full of cheerful violets and pithy inedible strawberries. But those tiny white-flowered onions and the king of all interlopers–the dandelions–I can live without. So I crawl around on my hands and knees every spring, pulling up flowers before they can seed a thousand more of their brethren. Hence the title of this post:
Why? I've always had a love-hate relationship with dandelions: Love the flowers, but hate the forest of bare poles that remains after the pods fly away, and the ugly, jaggy, ground-hugging leaves. Which, it turns out, are the source of the plant's name; dandelion means "lion's teeth" in French. In fact, we North Americans have the French to thank for introducing dandelions, along with bikinis and snails (one hit and one miss). Early settlers here made salads out of dandelions and brewed "coffee" from their seeds.
I always thought there were two types of dandelions: the happy little pseudo-daisies and the magical puff-balls every child knows are used as public transportation by faeries. But I was wrong. It turns out they're the same plant. After those cute little yellow flowers wilt and turn ugly, the seeds gather into a sphere called a "clock." There's a cool time-exposure video of the process below.
Anyway, love 'em or hate 'em, they're tenacious invaders. Kinda like humans.

9-year-old Raya El-Hajar had an exciting summer. She won the 2016 Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. Then, First Lady Michelle Obama welcomed Raya and 55 fellow chefs from around the country to the White House last month to celebrate their achievements.
The 5th annual challenge was designed to encourage 8 to 12 year olds to create an original, healthy, tasty and affordable lunch recipe. More than 1200 applications flowed in for review.
Raya El-Hajar demonstrates how she assembles her award-winning dish – Wisconsin Cranberry Chickpea Salad.
"We grew up eating it, just the garbanzo, parsley and lemon. And then to give it a little twist sort of, I added the cranberries and the feta to make it sort of from Wisconsin. And the peppers too," Raya says.
Raya adds olive oil and salt. She says neither her mom or her need to measure. Her recipe does not include pepper. "It doesn't really match," she explains.
Raya is being assisted by her mom Marcia Mihwadi. Mihwadi cherishes time in the kitchen with all three of her kids. It's not something she experienced during her own childhood.
"My mom didn't know how to prepare very many things and she worked two or three jobs, so she didn't have time. So it was fast food, prepared food, processed food, so I didn't know. So as an adult I've had to do a lot of self-teaching to figure out how to do this," Mihwadi adds, "It's not hard, as I've learned."
On July 14th, Mihwadi was able to experience the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge at a White House "state dinner" her daughter.
Raya describes the President's residence as "cool, it's sort of like a palace."
They sampled some of the recipes from her fellow rewardees. Raya says she ate it all. "Because it was good. My favorite was a watermelon salad with edamame and a spring roll. It was my favorite," Raya says.
Raya narrowly missed out on another chance – she did not quite get to have a nice long chat with First Lady Michelle Obama. "Michelle no! But if we only had been at a different table, we could have sat next to her," Raya laments.
But she did get her photo taken with the First Lady.
The experience was more than photo ops and food, Michelle Obama sent her future fine chefs off with a mission. "She challenged us to go back to our state and to do something about eating healthy," Raya says.
Her grandfather thought she should reach out to Wisconsin cranberry growers and cheese makers to become their spokesperson.
"My idea is to improve school lunches," Raya says. The current fare, she says, leaves plenty of room for improvement. "Let's see corn dogs, unidentifiable chicken...," she says.
Now the culinary critic really warms to her subject – it is, Raya says in so many words, a matter of both food and educational equity.
"It's not fair because the kids parents don't have time or money to make a lunch; then their kids don't get nutrients from lunch, which means they don't get good grades, which means they don't like school, because they're not doing good at it and the teachers have a hard time dealing with the students too," Raya reasons.
As a 4th grader, she plans to take on the system – while juggling all of her other commitments.
And Raya doesn't think she'll have to wait for Michelle Obama to check up on her progress. "Well she'll be next door," Raya exclaims. She fully expects the Obamas to live nearby in Illinois in the near future. "I'll go to her house and we'll bake cookies," Raya adds, "healthy cookies."

October 4, 2019 LinkedIn: link opens in a new window Facebook: link opens in a new window Twitter: link opens in a new window Did you know that it takes on average at least 1600 gallons of water to create one pair of jeans? As a heavy water user, Gap Inc. is innovating to reduce our overall use of water throughout the process - from design to manufacturing – so that we can protect the environment for the wellbeing of families for generations to come. Last month, Gap Inc.'s Sustainability team represented the company in Sweden for the annual Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) World Water Week. Here are 3 of our top highlights: 1. Women are Agents of Change Around the world, women are raising their voices and using their talents to activate change to protect the environment we live in. While in Stockholm, our team was honored to meet several activists who are raising awareness, including CEO of Thirst, Mina Guli. She was featured in Fortune Magazine's 2016 list of the 50 greatest leaders in the world for using her platform as a runner to draw attention to the water crisis. She has run dozens of marathons herself while activating millions more to run for water scarcity as part of the campaign #RunningDry and she isn't giving up! It's estimated that, globally, women and girls spend on average 200 million hours a day collecting water – losing time they could be spending at school or at work. Through Gap Inc.'s P.A.C.E program, we work with women, in the countries we source from and where the water crisis is severe, to provide trainings on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and to advance their communication skills, negotiation power, and problem-solving skills so they can change this reality. 2. We're Better Together We're proud of our partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Our "Women + Water Alliance" earned recognition at World Water Week as an example of the exponential power of collaboration: bringing the strengths of the private sector, the convening power of USAID, and the local and technical expertise of our implementing partners including CARE, Water.org, WaterAid and the Institute for Sustainable Communities to maximize impact. Gap Inc. is honored to inspire other industry leaders to form partnerships and coalitions to preserve access to water, and to keep women at the center of solutions for addressing WASH needs. Gap Inc. Senior Manager Lisa Hook shared at World Water Week, "By building the capacity of women's skills through Gap Inc.'s P.A.C.E. program, women will be better equipped to voice their water, sanitation and hygiene needs. By starting with women, we hope to realize a powerful ripple effect where they will invest not only in themselves but their families and communities." Hear from the amazing women we're working with to become advocates of change in their communities and address their water needs here. 3. #LoveYourWater Water is a precious resource that we all need in order to thrive. Leading companies are finding ways to champion water conservation that inspires individual action too. At World Water Week, IKEA announced innovative solutions for peoples' homes to help them save water – from using mist taps (which reduces water by 90%), to sensors to provide you with information on how much water your home used each day for showering and other water-intensive activities, to new eco-wash laundry machines that are designed to better capture microfibers. Simple measures such as turning off the water when brushing our teeth (estimated to save 50 billion gallons of water per year) are key to helping us change our world. Tell us what you can do to save water by using #LoveYourWater! At Gap Inc., we believe that water is a human right and we're working proactively to address some of these challenges across our supply chain.

Tui, the world's largest travel group, saw a huge influx of new customers as a result of the bankruptcy of its former rival Thomas Cook, which went broke in September 2019, it said on Tuesday.
"January this year was very, very strong," Tui CEO Fritz Joussen told journalists on an earnings call on Tuesday.
Tui (TUI.L) in the UK had the biggest month of bookings in its history, it said. The surge in new bookings helped the company withstand the financial impact from the Boeing 737 MAX ban.
The 737 MAX planes were grounded last March after two fatal crashes and the ban is expected to be extended until mid-2020 or even later.

The Hanover-headquartered travel company said that the ongoing ban on the Boeing aircraft will drag it down during this current financial year, as it will cost between €220m ($240m, £186m) and €245m to lease new planes, but that it is expecting some still-to-be-negotiated compensation from Boeing.
For the financial year ending in September Tui said it expected underlying core earnings (EBIT) of between €850m and €1.05bn.
The coronavirus outbreak has not so far impacted travel demand, according to the chief executive, however he noted that this was also down to the fact that European consumers do not normally book Asian vacations at this time of year.
"Tui is clearly capitalising on TCG's demise and less customer choice, confirmation of compensation from Boeing is reassuring and the results reflect a heavy dose of in-built conservatism given the cost measures, suggesting the top end of guidance may be achievable," said Barclays in a note.
Tui shares surged by almost 12% in London on Tuesday morning.

Power Draw and Temperatures
Power Draw and Temperatures overview
Power draw at the wall socket was exactly in line with other X470 motherboards and so too were CPU temperatures both at stock clocks and overclocked speeds. VRM temperatures, on the other hand, were lovely and low around the 50 degrees Celsius mark. That's a long way inside the safe limits of the hardware, which makes us very happy.

Why Preparing Your Body for Horseback Riding Before a Dude Ranch Vacation Helps
As we discussed in the previous blog "How to Physically Prepare for Horseback Riding", your core (transverse abdominus, in particular) plays a major role in your ability to balance well while horseback riding. What I did not explain to you is why preparing your body for horseback riding is especially helpful when visiting a Colorado dude ranch.
The answer is pretty easy. When folks come out and visit us, they feel like they're paying for a certain amount of horseback riding since the vacation is all-inclusive (folks are more than welcome just to sit on their porch with coffee and listen to the river, participate in our other activities, explore Steamboat Springs, etc.). Many ride every day of the week during their vacation, morning and afternoon. For our six nights stays, that often means 11 horseback rides in seven days. And, those rides aren't piddly.
We trail ride in the Routt National Forest through meadows, aspen forests, up and down mountains. Whether folks are doing our most beginner rides or our advanced, they get a lot out of the experience. Oftentimes, though, unless our guests are use to riding everyday, those 11 or so rides take a toll on them, and by mid-week, they like a little break for their bodies.
Some believe that unless you're going for that rockin' hot bod for your beach vacation, there's no reason to exercise specifically for vacation. But take it from me, your dude ranch vacation can not only provide you with a benchmark for getting into horseback riding shape, but also can make your stay with us less sore and more happy on the trails.
9/29/2018 01:56:21 am
Ranch Vacation with family is a real fun. Here we spent quality time with each other. Truly said, we eat a lot and on-time as well. Riding is also a fun in ranch vacation, Created a perfect picture.
11/27/2018 02:08:09 pm
I was surprised to read that your core plays a huge role when you go horseback riding! Horses have always been an interest of mine, but I have never been riding! I am going on a vacation next year, so I will look into taking riding lessons on vacation. Until then, I will start strengthening my core!

2015 was extremely busy for UK metal band Left For Red. Not only did they release their first full length album All Things Known And Buried but they also sold out the 02 Academy in Birmingham and played some prominent festival slots. So it's no surprise that the release of a single from the band's critically acclaimed album is celebrated with a launch gig all of its own.
They now enter 2016 with the announcement of a new single 'Utopia' which is taken from that critically acclaimed album, accompanied by a UK tour that kicks off with a special launch show back at the 02 Academy in Birmingham.
'Utopia' will be released on March 26th 2016, the very same day as their launch show at the 02 Academy, Birmingham where they will be joined by very special guests The Heretic Order.
Vocalist LC Decoy explains the story behind 'Utopia':
The song is about a false utopian world that people have been made to believe is real, but when people are shown that their world is a lie, it's too late and they cannot handle the truth. This poses the question whether they are better off living a lie.
The story is equally matched by some splendid artwork for the single created by Andy Pilkington from Very Metal Art.
Following the launch show, Left For Red head out on a UK tour which takes them to new cities whilst also visiting some regular haunts.
Bassist Dan Carter said:
We want to push Left For Red as far as we can and by doing this extend our live work into areas we have not played before but at the same time continue building upon our fan base, so we have purposefully selected towns and cities that we would like to turn up to and show them what we are all about! We are really looking to get out there and play 'Utopia' and the rest of All Things Known And Buried. Some dates we are headlining while others we will be playing alongside some rock and metal legends, like Diamond Head and Onslaught. We are going to have a blast!
Tour dates:
- 26th March – 02 Academy, Birmingham (Single release show)
- 27th March – The Prince Of Wales, Kettering (An Easter Weekend Of Rock)
- 22nd April – The Intake, Mansfield
- 29th April – The Roadhouse, Birmingham
- 30th April – The Brickmakers, Norwich (Thrashersaurus)
- 1st May – SOTS All Dayer, Telford (Supporting Diamond Head)
- 14th May – Snooty Fox, Wakefield (Supporting Ballsdeep)
- 28th May – Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove (Breaking Bands Festival)
- 29th May – The White Hart, Pontypool (Bulletfest)
- 4th June – The Rainbow, Birmingham (Remembrance Festival)

Some people might feel favorably about a topic, such as green marketing, but this does not necessarily change their purchasing behaviors. Sound SEO strategies aren't susceptible to the whims of Google and the other search engines and depend far less on them than might be assumed. Recently, I came across these interesting wooden rocking horses . Does anyone know where I can find the best organic local fruit delivery ? Getting BT leased lines used to be the only option in the UK but now there are other options for what is a leased line . Lets use the search term SEO York as an example. By continuing to add content and informative writing to your website, you'll be able to tell search engines that your website is still being maintained and hasn't just been left to itself.

Speed Solutions LTD.: What Can We Expect From China's Economy Future?
he Chinese economy is growing at its slowest pace in nearly 30 years, as Beijing struggles to manage the impact of this war.
The U.S. and China's trade war is going on for a year and a half now (Remember when Donald Trump said trade wars are "easy to win"?). Solution for the situation has not yet to come, and while we're at that, The Hong-Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill protests have emerged into an international crisis. According to Speed Solutions LTD. experts, the forecast on the Chinese economy is not optimistic.
How bad is China's economic condition?
Speed Solutions LTD. experts say that the Chinese economy has been slowing down for the better part of the past decade. Furthermore, a recent run of weak data has prompted new concerns. The decline of the Chinese industry started back in 2010. Both the weakening in the domestic economy (and deteriorating external environment, including a global slowdown), and the US-China trade tensions have a role to play in China's slowdown. In reality, the U.S. economy has been hit harder by the trade war.
Speed Solutions LTD. experts forecast, regarding the continuation of the trade war between the U.S. and China, is not that optimistic. The Chinese economy is growing at its slowest pace in nearly 30 years, as Beijing struggles to manage the impact of this war. This raises concerns about the effect on the rest of the world. It is worth mentioning that tentative attempts to resolve the impasse have faltered in recent weeks, placing further pressure on Chinese consumer confidence and choking investments. At this point, it is not clear whether China's leaders want more concessions from the U.S., including the lifting of punitive tariffs that are already in place, before giving the green light to purchases of U.S. goods.
Will an Agreement bring about a solution?
According to Speed Solutions LTD. It seems a trade agreement won't save the Chinese economy, although that can be debatable. While both sides of the trade war face domestic pressure over the trade war, they most likely won't agree without mutual trust. The biggest problem is that the two sides still don't agree on nearly anything. The tariff war appears to be having an impact on national economic trends in China, and such patterns are considered as a significant setback for Beijing's efforts to shift its economy toward greater reliance on consumer and corporate demand. All in all, China's slowdown increases the likelihood of interest rate cuts and other stimulus measures designed to shore up growth and avert job losses that could stoke political unrest.
Global Impact?
According to Speed Solutions LTD., as the Brexit uncertainty is pushing the U.K. to the brink of recession, there might be a chance that we are on the way to a global recession. With global trade deteriorating fast, President Trump intensifying his trade war with China, and factories slowing down in major industrial nations, world commerce is deteriorating quickly, threatening the health of the global economy. However, if you are asking economists, a global recession remains unlikely, even as growth is slowing down. But make no mistake about it, the dangers are mounting, threatening to spread from the factory floor to households in many major economies.
According to Speed Solutions LTD. Europe's economy is being knocked off course by the conflict between the U.S. and China over trade. And if, for instance, the trade war will escalate to include higher U.S. tariffs on cars made in Europe, the overall picture could look even worse.
However, According to Speed Solutions LTD., the damage from trade uncertainty may be spreading to consumers and companies to do their business inside. Ironically, the trade wars between Germany and the U.S., and between Germany and China, are holding up pretty well. To conclude, the main impact that we see on a global scale is the uncertainty about the outcome of the clash between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Chinese Communist leadership, which has been weighing on business's confidence and deterring decisions to invest and buy across global markets.
