Potential challenges: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Fearful: Leonidas Ortiz's previous previous owner described him as shy with new people. At the care center, he is a bit fearful. It is important to always go slow and give Leonidas the option to walk away from any social interaction. Leonidas should never be forced to approach anything that he is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Leonidas' choice to approach a new person or thing. Leonidas would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to his new surroundings.

I love this guy…..I hate seeing his devastated expression, his life has been torn apart by getting dumped in the shelter. I'm not surprised he's unhappy, that's pretty typical and expected for a Chihuahua….he will be 100% fine once he's back in a home environment and senses that he is safe again . This kind of emotional trauma is just too much for any dog to handle… but especially when it comes to Chihuahuas, their whole purpose of living is for their owner. Leonardo Ortiz has been betrayed in the worst way possible….he needs a new home and family asap to help him heal, and this time a forever home so he will never have to go through this again.
Hello I am interested in fostering to possibly adopt Leonardo. I assume he is ok with other small dogs? I have a female Jack Russel and two children 9 and 14. Live on Long Island with fairly large yard. Do you think he would be ok with another small dog in the home?
Is this adorable little nugget still at shelter! I was really hoping someone scooped awesome little Leonidas up already! Will continue sharing this little cutie everywhere until officially safe. #SaveLeonidasOrtiz ????
I am sure his owner loved him. I can tell from the description he gave of loving his ears and his majestic way of walking down the street. I'm also sure that the owner's last name is Ortiz and that he gave the dog's name as the dog's first name and owner's last name. I am sure the owner is as devastated as Leonidas and that whatever caused him to give Leonidas up is a longer story than we know, and I'm sure that prior owner will be so utterly relieved when Leonidas is adopted. I don't know if it's happened already, I've sent an email to ACC.
Ahhhh little Leonidas, are you still in this awful place or are you enjoying your new life?!? I hate to think of you still waiting! Will continue sharing handsome, little Leonidas absolutely everywhere! #SaveLeonidasOrtiz ??
I called this morning and they answered the phone. I was told that Leonidas Ortiz had been pulled by a rescue. She said she was not allowed to say which one, and that it was "probably" not in the New York area. She looked him up by his number and repeated his name when she found him, so I hope she's right. I was ready to go get him if he was still there.
Today my email to ACC was answered. Leonidas Ortiz was transferred to a New Hope rescue.

Weebly Educational Version - Proves to be simple and safe
I've spent quite a bit of time getting familiar with Google Apps. In our district we've set up accounts for all teachers (hope to have students on board soon) and have been working to help teachers create websites and ideas for a more paperless classroom that can communicate more effectively with students and their families.
All this said and done (somewhat) I have now discovered a new website building tool that is so simple a first grader could use it. This is not so true for the Google sites application. Google is powerful, but has various limitations and difficult work-arounds that need to be used to accomplish some desired tasks. In comes Education Weebly...a new online tool which can make things easier for those teachers who have been struggling a bit.
The question is, to change gears, or leave well enough alone. My thoughts at present are to show them the tool, and let them determine what direction they want to go. I will wait to do this, until the new features of class blog monitoring and listing become available.

Commercial Plumbing Services in Chicago, IL & Suburbs
Homeowners are accustomed to dealing with plumbing issues when their pipes develop a clog or a leak. The same principle holds true for commercial plumbing systems if you're a business owner or property manager. Only with Chicago, IL & Suburbs businesses, the systems are often much more complex and work needs to be done much more swiftly.
That's why you need a dedicated commercial plumbing service like the team at All Seasons Plumbing & Sewer Solutions. We are experienced commercial plumbing contractors who can install a new commercial plumbing system the right way. We're also ready to go with repairs, maintenance and replacement services for existing commercial plumbing systems. We treat your property with care and respect, and offer guarantees on our work. We take the worry away, so call on our team today![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="70″ img_size="full" alignment="right" css=".vc_custom_1522024567056{margin-top: -20px !important;}" el_class="long-wrench"][vc_column_text]
Start at the Beginning with Commercial Plumbing Installation
Any commercial building requires a trained commercial plumbing contractor to get all of the pipes and appliances in the right way. This is a more serious job than you think. Commercial spaces such as restaurants have specific plumbing needs, while more traditional office spaces need serious assessment of the requirements for cleaning stations and bathrooms that need to be in place before work begins.
Here in Chicago, IL & Suburbs, our team has decades of experience as commercial plumbers, and we can readily work with your team to install a new commercial plumbing system. It begins with the planning stages, when you need to determine the precise needs of the building in question. We'll be there every step of the way, then perform the installation on time and with the attention to detail that your building project requires![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="70″ img_size="full" alignment="right" css=".vc_custom_1522024567056{margin-top: -20px !important;}" el_class="long-wrench"][vc_column_text]
We're Ready to Go with Repairs
Commercial plumbers don't always have the luxury of time when dealing with problems in an office space or business site. In a home, you can usually shut off water to the affected outlet and do without it until a plumber can arrive. With a business, things get much more complicated. Even minor plumbing problems can be a huge disruption to staff and customers, and in more serious cases can actively shut down your operations: costing you time and money every minute the problem goes unaddressed.
Our team provides timely commercial plumbing repairs for systems of all varieties. We also offer 24/7 emergency services to make sure the problem gets addressed before it impacts your business, and can stay out of the way of your work force as we conduct repairs![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image="70″ img_size="full" alignment="right" css=".vc_custom_1522024567056{margin-top: -20px !important;}" el_class="long-wrench"][vc_column_text]
Maintenance Prevents Repair Calls
Commercial plumbers also offer a very important service to any business owner or office manager interested in the bottom line. Annual maintenance sessions on a commercial plumbing system are a huge boost to your operations, and if you're looking to save money in the long term, then setting a maintenance schedule up makes an excellent way to do it
Not only can a maintenance session detect a potential problem before it starts – giving you time to treat it according to your schedule and likely lowering the costs as well, since repairs often won't cost as much when caught early – but they can help improve the system's efficiency and lower the additional cost of repairs.

Hey guys! I hope you all are doing great and thanks for your visit!
Shopping is every girl's favorite thing. We always search for new shopping centers, from where we can shop for top brands. Obviously, we don't want to travel from store to store in search of all brands. We want a single place, under which we can find all the possible brands to shop from.
Recently, I got an opportunity to explore a newly launched shopping space in New Delhi. Aerocity Central is the name of this new place, wherein you can have fun everywhere inside, be it eating your favorite snacks or shopping your heart out. The first and the foremost thing, which I loved about the Aerocity Central is the space. This giant store is beautifully designed keeping in mind the people and the experience factor.
Aerocity Central is situated at a place, from where everyone could reach easily, facing no problems at all. As soon as you enter the mall, you get a feel which is very close to positivity. Positive in the sense of shopping and exploring this new world of shopping in Hi-Definition. As I also shared videos on twitter, you must have seen the brands it showcased.
Aerocity Central showcases so many brands that you will get anything and everything under one roof. The images shared along with this blog post will also give you an idea of how much fun shopping can be here!
To be precise, you are entering a completely different world, which you will definitely love exploring. You can hang out with your friends or go with your family.
I really hope you enjoyed reading about Aerocity Central, New Delhi. Do share your views and experiences in the comments below.
As always, thank you so much for taking out time and reading my blog.
Always keep smiling, it makes you look beautiful!

Class 1 were delighted to welcome Charlotte Guillain, a famous children's author, into our school on Wednesday 12th November. She read the hilarious 'Spaghetti with the Yeti' picture book and had us all in fits of laughter! Children acted as characters in the story and used props to bring the roles to life. Once Charlotte left us, we started to innovate by drawing our own story maps based on Charlotte's version but instead inventing our own characters and props.
Do take a look at the humorous photos that capture our excitement which prevailed throughout the storytelling session. I think you'll agree -we all had a great deal of fun!
We have now been inspired and want to let our imaginations run wild to write our very own versions of 'Spaghetti with the Yeti'!

Payment methods around the world
Which payment methods should you offer in your store? First of all, there's no best answer to this question. Looking at the payment solutions that are available worldwide, you might be surprised. There are literally hundreds of possibilities.
When speaking of payment methods, we distinguish between the following types:
Online or onsite methods
The transaction is done online immediately at the moment of creating the order by your customer. Payment by credit card or PayPal are examples of online payment methods.
Offline or offsite methods
These payment methods do not authorize or capture the order amount online. In this scenario, the user will pay in a different way, for example by doing a manual bank transfer or by paying at the moment of delivery of the ordered items.
The methods that you need to offer to your customers will differ from country to country. Especially if you're selling locally (within a specific country), you need to prepare your store for that market. If you're not sure which payment methods you should offer, just look at the methods other online stores in your market are offering. Here are some, possibilities, but be aware that the list below only cover the most important, widely used payment possibilities:
- Credit Card
- Debit Card
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
- Pay after delivery
- Cheques
- Online wallets
This list explains something about the payment methods, but not about the Payment Provider yet. A payment provider allows the online store to accept payments in different forms and will authorize the transactions. Often they also provide an online tool to manage your funds. Just to mention some of the major players:
- PayPal
- Amazon
- Google (Google Checkout, Google Wallet)
- Alipay (China)
- Credit card companies Mastercard, Visa, American Express, or Discover
- Stripe
- And many others
Table of Contents
Payment Provider and Payment Gateway
It's important to understand the difference between a Payment Provider and a Payment Gateway. The Payment Provider is the company used to offer one or multiple Payment methods, which are in WooCommerce referred to as Payment Gateways.
For example, PayPal is a Payment Provider, offering Payment Gateways like PayPal Pro, PayPal Express Checkout, and PayPal Digital Goods. Often, a Payment Provider offers multiple Payment methods. For your store, it's likely that you need to offer a combination of payment possibilities. Let's first have a look at what WooCommerce has to offer by default. Navigate to WooCommerce | Settings | Checkout
Payment methods
- BACS (Direct Bank Transfer)
- Cheque
- Cash on Delivery
- PayPal
- Simplify Commerce
In fact, the methods mentioned above are offline payment methods, except for PayPal and Simplify Commerce. PayPal is widely accepted. Simplify Commerce is a moment of writing only available for the USA and Ireland.
An offline payment method means that your customer can use that method if you offer it, but the actual payment is not carried out immediately. You'll have to manually check later on if you received the money from your customer. The offline method requires that your customer makes sure the payment is done.
Online payment methods immediately do the payment transaction online, at the moment of sale. In most cases, the payment is verified automatically and the order status in WooCommerce will be updated accordingly

B.O.B. Cooking Equipment
Recently I've been searching for an alternative for the humble Billy can. Something that is lightweight, smaller and easier to control when pouring, that would suit my Bug Out kit. I believe I've come across two great alternatives in the MSR and Snow Peak brands.
- ��������������������� MSR Titan Kettle
- ��������������������� Snow Peak Trek Combo
In terms of sizes the Titan holds 0.85 litres, while the Trek Combo holds 1.0 litres (large) and 0.6 litres (small). The main difference in using the two sets, are that the Titan uses a lid, making for a faster boil. The Treks come in a set of two with fry pans instead of lids. So boil time is longer, but the frying pans can be used as plates as well as for frying. Having two pots that fit together, enables you to cook different meal combinations at the same time. While also reducing the amount of space required for storage. Or boiling water for purification needs and cuppa's at the same time as preparing a meal.
Having the collapsible handles on the sides makes the pots of either brand very user friendly, for storage and pouring. Leather gloves would be a good accessory to remember or a trangia pot holder. The materials used are Titanium in the MSR brand or a choice of Titanium, Aluminum or Oxide treated in the Snow Peak models.
Snow Peak also make several neat (I don�t believe I used the term neat) accessories that fit snuggly into either option. These are an insulated titanium mug and chopstick set.
The Mug also has collapsible handles allowing it to fit inside of either model chosen. Being double walled provides better insulation to keep drinks hot and reducing burnt lip syndrome usually associated with steel cups.
I gave up on (knife/fork/spoon) combinations, as I was always loosing one or another of the modules needed to lock them together. The only heavy duty versions that I found available were ex Russian military models. The fork and spoon were tolerable but the knife seemed only good for spreading butter. I�m still trying to figure out how to use the tin opener.
I found it easier to use a wooden spoon as a combination eating utensil and cooking implement. Then for chunkier food items, use chopsticks. These are a great item to have as they unscrew and fold up into one another. The handles are made from stainless steel and for lack of a better description, the mouth pieces are made from Birch. They collapse from 8 3/4 inches to 4 1/2 inches. Enabling them to be stored inside the pots or to be hung from around the neck in the pouch supplied.
I generally compliment these tools with a Spyderco Featherweight FB-101 worn in a cross draw position that I always seem to end up using as my camp knife. However for the purpose of a BOB set up where it needs to be in storage for extended periods, I�ve swapped this for a small skeletal neck knife. In lower hygienic circumstances skeletal grips are much easier to keep clean reducing the risk of contamination from bacteria.
As to which I would pick of the brands available. If I were trying to include only minimal equipment in an emergency kit and eat straight from the pot, I would choose the MSR Titan kettle. As I wouldn�t mind roughing it for a few days with only one pot and having a lid to boil faster would have advantages at above sea level altitudes.
�However my camping gear and bob gear are fast becoming one and the same.� When I take off for a weekend it�s usually spur of the moment and unplanned, heading in a different direction each time to simulate a possible bug out scenario. This is generally a lot more fun and interesting. I�m finding the more I do this it isn�t so much the speed of packing but comfort that is becoming a critical area.
Most of the packing has already been pre-prepared or can be done within minutes, as all my equipment is ultra lightweight. Setting up camp takes very little time after a routine has been established. I�m finding the more often I do this and the longer I spend out. The little things of adding comfort make a lot of difference to enjoying the experience. Such as using self inflating mattresses instead of foam ground pads. The newer models on the market add very little weight when compared to high density foam.
My deciding factors came down to out of six of the larger camping stores in the city that I live, none of them stocked MSR and only one was willing to place an order for the Titan kettle taking three months to arrive, which made it an internet order. Internet orders are great when buying more than one item at a time, from the same company as the price usually is cheaper than retail and available within ten days. However when purchasing limited quantities, the price of postage can be excessive and add too much to the cost of some things depending on the method of shipping used. Of the same six stores only one stocked Snow Peak. Two of them had never even heard of either brand. (I won�t be returning to those two stores).
I choose the Trek Combo in Aluminum as several people warned me that titanium heated up quicker, burning food if not watched closely. (I have a habit of not watching pots).� Two pots are definitely a comfort item when cooking as I enjoy a hot cup of tea after breakfast.
�Not having a lid only really matters at high elevations. Cooking at sea level I prefer not to use lids as I always seem to boil over food onto the fire otherwise. This gives me a plate or bowl that will fit together with the cooking gear. Incorporating a strap or storage bag holds everything together nicely.
The only other modification is to the wooden spoon. Requiring a long handle to cook with, won�t allow it to fit into the pots. So I�m trying to find a fitter and turner that can cut the spoon in half and fit a stainless male /female thread in the same way the chopsticks work, or a stainless ferrule connecter from fishing rods allowing me to also fit this into the pot setup. I don�t want to use chrome dipped materials as I�m not sure if toxins will leach out during heating.
I gave up on modifying the wooden spoon, due to complexity and cost of the people I approached. I ended up finding a spork on a search of the internet, entirely by accident that suited my requirements of being collapsible. Made by Brunton and constructed in a titanium material with a folding stainless handle. Cost is about $15 US, I didn�t buy direct from the company due to limited freight options. Luckily I checked the postage, as I nearly paid $80 US in shipping costs on top of the product price.
�I found a company in New Zealand that is a dealer for Brunton at $39 NZ where I received exceptional service which I�m finding from several New Zealand stores I�ve been doing business with lately or Amazon is also another good choice to deal through depending on location.
Sea to Summit bring out a similar product but with or with out the fork end for $19AUD. When going ultra light weight I use the spork but when using in conjunction with the chopsticks I tend to stick with the standard spoon version as I tend to stick myself in the tongue when not concentrating.
While researching homemade coffee can cookers I had another good find with a Little Bug cook stove. The advantages of coffee can style cook stoves are they act like a chimney increasing heat to shorten the boil time and reducing the amount of fuel required. In a tactical situation this can also reduce the heat signature and amount of smoke.
�I was planning to make my own version from a large coffee tin but found the bottoms eventually burn out and I wanted something that would last a decent length of time and fold up for easy storage while traveling. The Little Bug is made from stainless steel and definitely made to last. It�s available in two different sizes 9 inches high by 8 inches diameter or the junior model which I purchased in a 6 inch high by 5.5 inch diameter. They can be used with either an alcohol fuel burner, the same as a trangia or with firewood. I like the idea behind a dual fuel feature for fire ban areas and national parks. This also allows it to be used inside tent awnings, on bench tops in buildings and vehicles.
There are several different designs for coffee style cookers on the internet each with their own advantages and disadvantages. In the way they funnel the smoke or feed the fuel into the cooker. The Little Bug allows you to feed fuel straight into the top of the fire without removing the pot as it is held above the firebox. This provides the chimney feature so holes aren�t required in the back of the main structure.
Not having a base allows the frame to be pushed into the soil slightly to provide better balance if on uneven ground and aids in clean up of the ashes which can be scattered. I choose the smaller version for inclusion in my bug out bag however if using for extended periods for camping trips, I would probably prefer to purchase the next size up to use with larger pots or for use inside a small tipi.
I have long been a fan of Trangia stoves, who make a very nice accessory called a Multi Disc. This can be used as a colander (strainer), a lid to prevent a pot cooling too fast, chopping board and serving tray. These come in two sizes; I use the larger model for my Sigg Trangia and the smaller size just suits the Snow Peak pots in diameter for use as a cutting board. Not really a necessity but I�ve seen too many people come back from camping trips doing more running than hiking if you know what I mean, from low hygienic conditions.
Which comes to the next product on my list, soap not usually mentioned in bug out cookware but essential in the washing of dishes and cutlery to remove bacteria. Sea to Summit make pocket soap leaves in a container about the size of a match box. These are non scented and come in a box of 50. The advantages are no sticky mess after using one cake and no possible leaks as with liquid detergents and can last up to 100 washes.
Something I don�t like doing in the field is washing cookware in a stream not only to prevent pollution but also possible contamination. Sea to Summit also makes the little sink which solves this problem. Its collapsible, comes in three sizes 5, 10, and 20 litres. The 5 litre model fits nicely into my set up and can also be used as a bucket, a hard to find or make piece of equipment in the scrub.
While researching light weight cook gear on back packer sites I�ve discovered that I�m becoming a gadget junkie. Light My Fire which is usually associated with good quality ferrocium rods has started to sell accessories that are interesting enough to check out although not a necessity for bob cook sets. While ordering a small fire steel to keep as a back up in my cook ware I came across a purpose designed meal kit consisting of bowl/plate, spork, cup, strainer/cutting board, multi purpose storage container.
My main interest lay in the bowl/plate combo as I usually eat straight out of the pots when traveling light. Not really a necessity but my bob and camping gear are gradually becoming the same. So as long as any gadgets stay light weight, multi purpose and easily packed I don�t mind small additions that add to comfort while testing different set up combinations.

Ashraf Hamdi, who famously was part of the cast of the film, Clash, which was shown in the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, continues to garner new fans everyday with his unique Voice Note video series. Only now, he's referred to, not as an actor but as an independent director. In the midst of juggling his massive follower count on social media and being busy with commercial gigs, Hamdi took some time to talk to eniGma's Mariam Nowar. In his most in-depth interview to date, Hamdi discussed his journey through different careers and how he eventually landed on the top seat of the filmmaking echelons.
It all started when Hamdi was just a little kid daydreaming in class, and in his mind, recreating scenarios where he and his sister were the stars. "I attended my first few years of school in Abu Dhabi," Hamdi says. "I came back to Egypt during the elementary stages to study at an all-boys English school called St. George's College before I transferred to a mixed school." he recalls.When he was older he went for the real deal, by starting a hip hop band with DJ Feedo in the early 90s. While his passion for the performing arts remained deep, however, practical considerations led him to study dentistry in university while continuing to pursue his passion on the side. He joined an Italian company that organized musicals at hotels, and he choreographed the numbers himself.
After participating in his first international experimental feature film Wingrave, Hamdi was offered to audition for a live show on OTV before it officially started, and he nailed his first job as presenter on the morning show, Sabahak Sokkar Zeyada. This opportunity was Hamdi's golden ticket to stardom, and the next thing you know, he is presenting MBC's The People's Quiz with star judges Mona Zaki, George Kordahi, and Sara El Dandarawy.
Fast forward to Hamdi's participation at the Cannes Film Festival. "I remember it was the first time for me to attend Cannes, which is a dream for anyone in show business. And I was there, not as a guest, but with a participating Egyptian motion picture, Clash," Hamdi recalls. "While I had had a film screening a few years before at the Rome Film Festival with Flowers of Kirkuk, an Italian feature film I took part in, Cannes was very special, of course. It was the highlight of my career." Hamdi was thrilled to walk the red carpet as part of the amazing team of Clash, which was shown in the Un Certain Regard part of the festival to rave reviews by its jury. He shared the spotlight with the film's prominent director, Mohamed Diab, the film's producer, Mohamed Hefzy, and leading stars including Nelly Karim, Hany Adel, Ahmed Malek, and Mai El Gheity.
Hamdi remembers how surprised he had been when he was cast as a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the film. "Mohamed Diab assigned me a role that was totally different from my personality and from anything I had done before. It made me do a lot of research and I worked harder on it. The more you work, the more you discover things within yourself," he admits.
Fast forward once again, and we find Hamdi later creating a one-man platform called A Voice Note, which documents the stories of heartbreak, lost love, and life lessons. Before the project had fully formed in Hamdi's mind, he would scribble notes on pieces of paper and he also started posting pictures, with quotes, on social media. He later transformed his vision into videos instead.
Apart from trying to make them more memorable, there was no actual philosophy behind the videos except for wanting to make them look like a diary. Each post was given a number, indicating its sequence as an entry in Hamdi's virtual diary. His big break came with his second and fourth videos, which featured young stars Carmen Bsaibes and Tara Emad respectively. These important collaborations marked triumphant milestones in Hamdi's A Voice Note documentation and resulted in his Facebook page rapidly amassing over 150 thousand followers.
"The concept behind the fourth Voice Note titled I'm Stronger Now featuring Tara Emad dealt with the experience women go through when they try to contact an ex after separating, Hamdi says. "This Voice Note video demonstrated how strong women are, how a woman can transform pain and a breakup into strength, and how it can change her after one year. I think that's why it struck a chord in most girls' hearts, and that's why it became a massive hit, "he explains.
Hamdi considers directors like Stanley Kubrich, Christopher Nolan, Joe Wright, Darren Aronofsky, and romantic film director Drake Doremus his mentors throughout his venture into the unknown territory of directing. "They inspire me with their approach towards each project they do so I'm basically learning from these people," he says
Despite this success, neither Hamdi nor anyone else would predict that his seventh Voice Note video on social media, titled Best Friends, would draw 1.5 million views on Facebook! He recalls, "I didn't expect it to become that famous." It was the longest video, and it had a variety of directing styles; its quality was also the most cinematic. It dealt with marriage, with best friends, and with anyone who was too late to say I love you. It had loads of underwater shots; some scenes were black and white, others were vintage. In fact, people advised me that it actually was a proper short film and that I should submit it to international festivals." Clearly through his Voice Notes, Hamdi had ventured into directing.
In fact, Hamdi takes more pride in directing than in acting, given that it's the director who controls any set. He recounts that he just finished his latest FIFA World Cup commercial for EgyptAir, featuring Argentinian Coach Hector Cuper, and that he is in the process of wrapping up another series for makeup brand, Maybelline. "I am now planning to take off to travel around a bit, to recharge my energy and to get inspired, he says. "But stay tuned. You might be scrolling through social media only to find a New Voice note popping up!"

Chloe Grace Moretz did some interview in Variety where she said she wanted to date Aaron Carter when she was a 4-year-old. Aaron Carter took that to mean she still does. Aaron Carter is in a bad place, guys.
Mmmm may I take you to dinner @ChloeGMoretz ?
— Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) August 9, 2017
Hey @ChloeGMoretz – let's set up a date. The crush is mutual. https://t.co/7iYrXFjAVl
— Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) August 9, 2017
She hasn't responded. Chloe Grace Moretz might want to be careful, because this makes her look like she isn't an ally of the LGBT community. It's 2017, it would definitely be better for her career if she went out with a weird, hollowed out drug addict than to not fully support the bisexual dude who publicly asked her to go eat dinner. He might kill himself since that's a thing.

French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that he considers anti-Zionism to be the new anti-Semitism, and that he would not tolerate it in France. This, the Middle East Monitor includes in a report about Israeli PM Netanyahu's recent visit to France, and was part of a lengthy speech Macron gave in a joint press conference with Netanyahu.
This has recently become a hotly contested debate, and the French president seems to have adopted the more reductionist approach to anti-Zionism.
Publications like Jacobin Magazine have discussed this issue at length; they stipulate that claiming anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism is actually anti-Semitic in and of its own, as it reduces all Jewish people to Zionists and ignores thousands of years of Jewish history that predates Zionism. They add that Zionism has resulted in the creation of an apartheid state, and it is extremely offensive to Jews to assume that they support this state as a community.
It is worth noting that before becoming president, Macron was a banker at Rothschild CIE Banque, a division of Rothschild & Co, which belongs to the family from which Lord Walter Rothschild hails. Lord Rothschild was the leader of the British Jewish community and was involved in the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. He was the addressee in 1917's Balfour Declaration, which promised Mandatory Palestine to the Jewish people.

Word just reaching us says that an accident has occurred involving the Fiancée of a WWE legend.
According to multiple sources, she has been hospitalized after getting into a serious car accident.
Ric Flair's fiancée Wendy Barlow — aka ex-WCW manager Fifi the Maid — has been hospitalized after getting into a serious car accident.
Flair tweeted Tuesday night saying, "Please Pray for my Fiancé who was just in a serious car wreck. She is at the Hospital."
The couple got engaged last summer. Ric Flair puts it way — My Fiancée Has Been Hospitalized After Serious Car Wreck (UPDATED)
No word at this time on where the accident occurred or what went down. There's also no word on her current condition. We'll update the story as soon as we know more.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the couple.
UPDATE: Ric just tweeted a photo of Wendy and says she "will be ok."

This sounds awful, reading the reports I can see no good news coming out.
Absolutely horrible. Thoughts and prayers with everybody involved.
Very very sad news, helicopters are a bit dodgy in my opinion, far to often you hear of them crashing like this
Very very sad news, helicopters are a bit dodgy in my opinion, far to often you hear of them crashing like this, because any kind of mechanical issue mid air and unless you have a superb pilot its game over, whereas in a plane, unless the wings fall off you can at least attempt a crash landing with a reasonable chance of surviving.
another problem is in a falling helicopter you can't even use a parashoot because people will just end up being caught in the rotors and hard to jump when it's spinning anyway.
Leicester player scores takes his shirt off to reveal a supportive message on his T shirt and gets a yellow card .WTF is wrong with people we all live by rules but now and then they need to be broken.It is beyond pathetic and shows no humanity in these people that run the FA f***in halfwits
The ref had no choice. If he doesn't follow the rules he gets marked down and demoted next week. It was clear from Lee Probert's face that he hated doing it but had no choice. None of the Leicester players protested. They knew what the punishment was going to be but chose to accept it. You could make a case for the FA rescinding the card but what happens next time when a player wears a t shirt dedicated to his recently deceased mother?

Intending to dismiss the Hillary Clinton email scandal as "a bunch of people flapping their jaws about nothing," Media Matters' James Carville stuck his foot in his own jaw by saying that Clinton used a private email account to avoid congressional oversight.
"I suspect she didn't want Louie Gohmert rifling through her emails," is the way he put it on Sunday's "This Week" on ABC.
That admission set off a firestorm of derision on Twitter.
Mark Halperin, managing editor of Bloomberg Politics put in:
James Carville on @ThisWeekABC says he "suspects" @HillaryClinton used private email b/c she didn't want Hill oversight. Quite an admission
— Mark Halperin (@MarkHalperin) March 15, 2015
Here's a sample of the responses:
Carville is not helping his cause. #ThisWeek
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) March 15, 2015
@MarkHalperin @NoahCRothman @ThisWeekABC @HillaryClinton That's kinda the point. The Law requires congressional oversight.
— Candy T (@CandyTa86367420) March 15, 2015
@MarkHalperin @ThisWeekABC @HillaryClinton
Yea and maybe Bill kept Monica under the desk bc he didn't want Hillary to find out…..
— DonnyLateNight (@DonnyLateNight) March 15, 2015
@sdwinkler @RBPundit @MarkHalperin @ThisWeekABC Makes you wonder how bad what she was hiding was.
— Eric (@JustEric) March 15, 2015
@MarkHalperin @gabrielmalor @ThisWeekABC So, Carville's admitting she committed a crime? Obviously, he thinks she'll never be prosecuted.
— JAO (@HelenTuttle) March 15, 2015
@MarkHalperin What part of:
"Her Majesty is happy to let you see yourself voting for her & roughly shag-all else"
is it that's eluding you?
— IGotOverMachoGrande (@smitty_one_each) March 15, 2015
And finally, there's this ominous one. Although I assume it was sent in jest, nonetheless….
@MarkHalperin @brithume @ThisWeekABC @HillaryClinton James may want to watch his back after that slip #VinceFoster

Expo 2020 Dubai's global social impact programme Expo Live has launched its fourth cycle, awarding successful projects with grants of up to USD 100,000 each.
The projects were chosen based on their potential to positively impact the environment or generate real social value in line with Expo 2020's three key subthemes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.
The launch of the IIGP's fourth cycle coincides with the inaugural Expo Live Global Innovators Summit. Hosted in Dubai, the event was attended by Global Innovators from nearly 40 countries who received grants and support as part of the initiative's previous cycles.
Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General of Dubai Expo 2020 Bureau, said: "The true legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai will be measured by the connections it creates, the people it inspires and the future it builds.
"Expo Live not only symbolises what a World Expo should stand for, it also enables Expo 2020 Dubai to deliver on its promise of social innovation and to inspire future generations to create a positive impact. Through initiatives such as Expo Live's Innovation Impact Grant Programme, we have an opportunity to empower individuals and communities around the world to solve pressing challenges."
The Expo Live Global Innovators Summit, which began on 30 September, 2018 and concluded yesterday, saw social entrepreneurs from around the world participate in workshops, training sessions and in-depth discussions. Attendees also took advantage of opportunities to network with other Global Innovators, while Expo 2020's Premier Partners Accenture, Cisco, DP World, Emirates NBD, Etisalat, PepsiCo and SAP, plus Official Partners DEWA, Emaar Hospitality and UPS, offered support and advice throughout the event.
All 70 projects that have secured support from the IIGP correlate with one of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global objectives that, if achieved, will secure a good basic quality of life for everyone.
For example, Brazilian project F123, which received funding as part of the programme's first cycle, is developing a portable and affordable talking computer that provides visually impaired people with a greater degree of independence, in line with the 'Reduced Inequalities' SDG.
Fernando H F Botelho, founder of F123, said: "The Expo Live grant helped us achieve our goal by speeding up the development process. It enabled us to create the world's first free Arabic speech synthesiser, which is compatible with low-cost computers. Participating in the Global Innovators Summit also has been an incredible opportunity for all of us to benefit from the expertise and assistance of the Expo Live team and Expo 2020's partners. It is very encouraging to see that we are fully supported and it makes us want to work even harder to make this world a better place."
In line with the 'Quality Education' SDG, UAE-based start-up Smart Labour has developed a mobile app that helps blue-collar workers improve their reading and writing skills, while offering rewards such as vouchers.
Since securing Expo Live's support, Smart Labour has partnered with the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to implement the app across the country and develop it further. The firm has also signed a contract with Dubai Taxi, and more than 3,500 drivers have already used the app to take courses.
Abu Muadh, founder of Smart Labour, which also secured funding during the programme's first cycle, said the platform now has 40,000 registered users, up from a few thousand people before securing Expo Live's support.
Yousuf Caires, Vice President, Expo Live at Expo 2020 Dubai, said: "Expo Live is proud to support passionate visionaries who are having a positive social and environmental impact all over the world. All 70 Global Innovators reaffirm our belief that innovation can come from anywhere, to everyone.
"We know there are more innovators impacting their communities in all corners of the globe and we encourage them to apply for funding, assistance and exposure as part of the fourth cycle of the Innovation Impact Grant Programme."
Expo Live is a USD 100 million innovation and partnership programme launched by Expo 2020 Dubai to fund, accelerate and promote projects that offer creative solutions to pressing global challenges. Its various initiatives facilitate promising innovations that would not reach their full potential without Expo Live's support.

text: Leadership Securing corporate networks Michael Martin @itworldca Published: August 19th, 2004Industry heavyweights Microsoft Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. recently introduced security enhancements designed to protect corporate networks.Microsoft unveiled a Network Access Protection technology, which will be available in an update release of Windows Server 2003.NAP will allow IT administrators to restrict the network access of clients that don't meet corporate security requirements. For example, a remote user trying to access the corporate network from a machine that didn't have the latest available patch updates or virus definitions, would have limited access to network resources until the user updated the system.More than 25 vendors, including antivirus, network management and infrastructure firms, pledged support for NAP.In the meantime, Cisco launched the first phase of its Network Admission Control program. In general terms, NAC has the same goal as Microsoft's NAP — to restrict the access of clients that don't meet security update requirements.Instead of relying on Windows Server 2003, Cisco uses its unbiquitous IOS software to implement its security system. For end user devices, Cisco created a piece of code, called the Cisco Trust Agent, that the company has licensed, free of charge, to antivirus software partners. The Trust Agent is also incorporated into Cisco's Security Agent software for end user computers. Leadership CIO, networks, updates

Woah-oah, did they turn a chair?
As we pass the halfway mark on 2019's Blind Auditions, it's time to sit back and take stock of some of the defining moments of the last couple of weeks. So grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and click your way through the most magical Blinds The Voice has ever seen.
What a way to kick off The Voice 2019! Zeek Power gave us all chills with this stripped back version of 'Runnin' (Lose It All)' by Beyoncé and Naughty Boy.
We met cute newleyweds Luke and Tanna Zancanaro, who both made it through.
Busker Daniel Shaw not only got a four chair turn with his version of 'Beneath Your Beautiful', but also stunned with a song he wrote himself.
The pressure got too much for Boy George, and he had his very own 'Mariah Moment', storming off the stage mid-audition.
He was all smiles again before long, though and returned to continue the Blind Auditions.
Amanuael Visser turned heads with his incredible style, before turning chairs with his rendition of 'Midnight Train to Georgia' .
Boy George had a different kind of Mariah Moment, when he got his first Artist on #TeamGeorge – All Star Diana Rouvas who belted out Carey's 'Vision of Love'.
Young Budjerah Slabb may have not turned a chair, but he got the opportunity of a lifetime to duet with Guy Sebastian on 'Climb Every Mountain'.
Cancer survivor Natasha Stuart had the auditorium rapt with her Beyoncé cover, and her incredibly inspiring message.
Wait, is that... Elvis? No, but it could be his grandson. We loved Dakota Striplin's 'Love Me Tender', and were intrigued to hear the story of how he might be related to The King.
It's not every day we see an adorable kitty up on The Voice stage. Whilst Rainbow's owner Tayla Surace didn't make it through, the Coaches loved meeting her furry friend.
Sellma's got soul! And some jaw-dropping style. The drag artiste earned her place on #TeamGeorge, and we can't wait to see what she brings to The Knockouts.
The Blinds got a side order of 'Wasabi' singer Lee Harding, who rocked the stage with a Rage Against the Machine hit, choosing #TeamGeorge.
It was the Blind Audition that everyone was talking about, and a world-first for The Voice. Rapper Denzel started a revolution with his original song 'Akuma'.
What a voice! Ben Palumbo had the Coaches wide-eyed with shock when they finally saw who was actually singing this operatic number.
Ex-cricketer Henry Olonga has had a fascinating life, and it looks like the next chapter will involve a lot of singing, as he got through to The Knockouts singing 'This Is The Moment'.
Jessie Eilers' emotional performance had us all welling up, as she dedicated Sarah McLachlan's 'Angel' to her late mother.
Folksy Vendulka was stoked to join #TeamGeorge after taking a huge risk with her blues-tinged cover of 'Karma Chameleon.
The cover impressed George so much, he got up on stage for a cheeky duet.
And the excitement isn't over yet – There are some more incredible Blinds to come, including one from a face you might just recognise!

Faith is so simple a thing really, though that does not mean it's always Easy.
So what IS Faith? Faith is an act or Belief and/or Trust even in the absence of Fact and/or Foreknowledge or in the presence of Contrary Evidence.
It is also a Choice.
See, pretty simple right?
This isn't all about God, I'm just starting with it because that is so often the first thought in many minds when they hear the word Faith.
I have Faith in "God".
What I believe God is doesn't matter here so I won't go into that. I have no proof of God's existence beyond what is proof to me or you because there is no verifiable way to test for God in an empirical sense other than to ones self.
I believe God sometimes does things in this world, that is part of my Faith. I don't always know what those things are, nor do I have any way to prove God was involved other than what I believe to be proof. I also do believe God has reasons for doing things that are most of the time, so far beyond human comprehension that trying to figure it out would be the Ultimate excercise in futility.
I take it on Faith that what God does is always for the best of everyone. My Faith could be mis-placed, God may not exist or does and doesn't give a damn about me or anyone for that matter, but I choose to believe otherwise.
My Faith in God has faltered many times. Not because God did or didn't do anything provable, but because what I believed was proof of God was faulty reasoning. I misunderstood God and my expectations were wrong.
I don't believe in the Bible, the Quran, the Torah or any other "Holy Book". I believe they exist of course and I believe there is wisdom in most Holy Books, I just don't believe any of them are the actual "Word of God", inspired by perhaps, but not the literal Word of God.
Every single one of them was written by people, people I don't know and can only find out just so much factual information about. I choose not to have Faith in them.
I don't have Faith in people in general actually, other than a Faith in them to do terminally stupid and/or evil things without good cause. People have proven, Un-Deniably proven, time and again through history to be all manner of immoral, unethical and dangerous. So I choose to be selective.
I sometimes have Faith in people on an individual basis, good and bad. It's case by case and something I choose to do. Someone can disappoint me, thus proving my Faith misplaced, but we make mistakes and I can choose to forgive or not just as I can choose to keep Faith with that person or not.
No matter how many nice things my best friend does, there is no proof that she won't, some day, change and hurt me. I simply have Faith that she won't. Yes, it's Faith based on past experience making it logical to have Faith, but that still isn't proof that things won't ever change. I'm not a clairvoyant, I have no way to be certain what the future holds.
I had a friend that hurt me Many times. I still held Faith in her. I believed it would change, I believed much of it was just stupid mistakes. That Faith was both illogical and mis-placed. It only escalated until I just couldn't put up with it anymore.
People can say my Faith in anything or anyone is misplaced and I can say the same about them. We can argue till the Moon turns to purple cheese over it, but from beginning to end Faith is a choice. You can only attempt to show me or I you whether the Faith is logical, illogical or pure.
Or rock-stupid, though that one is more an opinion.
Logical Faith is when proof is available that the Faith is likely well placed, never wholly definate of course in a strict sense.
Illogical Faith is when there is proof that the Faith is misplaced or a lack of proof for or against it yet there is a definate possibility of proof existing or having had existed.
Pure Faith has absolutly no provable reason for or against it other than personal choice to believe.
Belief in God is pure Faith. It has to be because there is No way to prove God does or does not exist beyond what an individual chooses to accept as proof. That may change some day, but I seriously doubt it before we blow ourselves out of existence.
Belief in People is logical or illogical Faith. One can look for proof of whether they are being truthful or not, what their motives are or were and what their ambition may be or had been. Proof that can be relayed and examined by others.
In the end it's still a choice to have Faith in them or not but the less proof of trustworthiness or the more proof of Un-trustworthiness available, the more illogical it becomes to have Faith in them.
Many Scientific Theories also fall in Pure Faith by the way. Lets use Anti-Matter just for fun.
So far Anti-Matter is unprovable beyond some mathmatical calculations. Nothing but numbers and letters and symbols. Not that much different than saying God is real because the Bible says so.
Anti-Matter, as far as anyone knows so far, can only be proven definitively thru reaction to something else. Acording to theory the reaction would be absolute annihilation thus wiping out any evidence other than Something had in fact occured, a violent something.
This would only prove that proving Anti-Matter exists can be insanely dangerous. It could have been an Anti-Matter reaction or it could have been some Other reaction in the process. With nothing left there is no way to be sure thus no proof either way.
Faith, belief, choice, such wonderful things to have and at the same time, the most dangerous weapons in the world.
Adolf Hitler had Faith in his Reich, a Belief in Aryan Superiority and chose to try and Prove it to the world.
He was quite Wrong.

Arizona State University radio station cracks top 5 best-of-college list
PHOENIX — A popular college-admission service company has ranked Arizona State University No. 4 for best college radio stations.
The Princeton Review list for 2019 was released this week.
Student-run KASC-AM, known as the Blaze, operates 24 hours a day during the school year.
No other Arizona school station was tapped for inclusion. ASU was the only Western school to make the top 10.
The station offers news, talk, and sports and is heard on all four campuses — Tempe main, ASU West, ASU Downtown Phoenix and ASU Polytechnic in Mesa — and is overseen by a Walter Cronkite School faculty adviser.
The ranking was based on student input in the extracurriculars category. They were asked, "How popular is the college radio station?"
The review also covered eight other areas: academics and administration, quality of life, politics, campus life, town life, social life, social scene, and schools by type (party schools, etc.).
Bloggers at Radio Survivor reported that the results were built on three years' of survey data.
About 138,000 students at 384 colleges across the country participated.
The top station belonged to tiny Manhattanville College, located north of New York City in Purchase. Enrollment is 1,725. ASU has 42,427 students.
Emerson College in Boston was second, St. Bonaventure in New York was third, and Syracuse was fifth.

It is important for one to do his or her best when it comes to maintaining a household but one important topic many people do not think about is the maintenance of the drainage system of a house. Unlike other tasks which are easily noticed in a household, the drain system is not as so and this is a major reason as to why most individuals tend to forget looking in to its maintenance. However, you must refrain from making the same mistake and make sure to look in to the condition of the drainage system in your home in order to live a better life. You must do your duties as a house owner in time since even the slightest delay in certain maintenance tasks can cost you money as well as cause much trouble. In order to prevent this from happening, you can use the help of a professional plumbing service therefore here are three benefits of doing so.

If you are having trouble with a difficult drainage problem in your household the best choice you must make is to hire a professional plumber.
They can perform multiple jobs
By hiring a professional plumbing service to help you maintain your home's drain system, you will be benefited in many ways.

Hertfordshire parents following 'moving for schools' trend
PUBLISHED: 15:19 25 August 2017 | UPDATED: 15:19 25 August 2017
This content is subject to copyright.
Nearly a quarter of parents have moved house to secure a place for their child in a particular school catchment, it has been revealed.
According to research from Santander Mortgages, 24 per cent of parents of school age children have bought or rented a property because of its proximity to a specific school.
And families are prepared to pay a 12 per cent premium – an average of £26,800 in the current market – to make their move.
The study also found that a fifth of parents had to change jobs to get their children into their desired school, 20 per cent were forced to downsize and 19 per cent settled in an area where they felt unsafe.
One in four admitted that they had overstretched themselves to make the move, paying more than they could afford.
Only a quarter (26 per cent) of families who moved for this reason plan to continue living in the area once their child leaves school – and 44 per cent will move on as soon as their child's place is secured. This figure stands at 66 per cent for parents in London.
51 per cent moved after selling their previous property and purchasing a new one within their desired catchment, while 30 per cent bought a second home and 19 per cent opted to rent.
There's no sign of this trend abating, with 40 per cent of parents saying they expect to move before their children finish school, and catchment will be the key factor in where they decide to buy.
Not surprisingly, London dwellers pay the highest schools premium at 17 per cent (£81,800) while in the East of England the figure stands at 10 per cent (£28,700).
Nick Ingle, head of Savills, Harpenden, confirms that school catchment is a huge factor in local moves.
He says: "Proximity to the local schools, such as Sir John Laws and St George's, is a major factor in many people's property search.
"The properties in the areas surrounding the best schools absolutely command a premium but it is hard to put an exact percentage on this as they are also bolstered by other factors. This could be the immediacy to the town centre and the train station, or the fact that many of the best schools in the area tend to be in some of the most desirable addresses.
"However, it is fair to say that prices tend to go up more closer to government funded schools where the catchment area is so specific."
Nick adds: "The majority of our schools-based buyers come from London or the rural areas surrounding Harpenden.
"Some families begin their search one or two years in advance, to ensure they find a property in the area that they need and tend to stay there once their children have finished their education. However, at this stage they often look to downsize and don't necessarily place such an emphasis on being close to the town centre."

City Views: Maxwell Brings 'Black Summer Night For Social Justice' To Queens
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Soul star and Brooklyn native Maxwell will be launching his 'Black Summer Night For Social Justice' in Queens this August.
The special evening is aimed at sparking action on a range of civil rights issues. Earlier this week Maxwell spoke with 1010 WINS' Sharon Barnes-Waters about his inspiration for the event.
"I was inspired by a lot of the youth. I feel like a lot of the kids that are standing up and making their voices heard; Black Lives Matter, March For Our Lives, you know I was also involved in the Woman's March -- the first annual one and then I went to L.A. for the second one. I have always cared about social causes, not really been so flashy about it because I feel just do good to do good, but in light of the climate right now and what we see happening right now it would be great to bring people together in Forest Hills, Queens and just have them come together from all walks of life. Wherever you are from we are all together in this world and that's what this is all about," he said.
Maxwell also reflected on the social justice movements of his own youth.
"They are speaking out and doing it in incredible ways and it's been inspirational for me. As a person who has been a huge fan of Mr. Harry Belafonte, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, these are things that we knew and to see what they are doing now and for me to be part of creating a festival with the friends that are now going to join us; Jazmine Sullivan, DVSN, Fantasia and many more we don't want to say yet -- it's just great," he said.
He said it was easy to get artists to come aboard.
"Everyone was really ready to go. Mc Lyte, she did the promo for our voice and she just did it and said just donate to my cause and basically everyone was working like that. It's not about making money, we really are going to come together and raise funds and then focus those funds out to the Me Too movement to Artists for Peace and Justice etc.," he said.
Maxwell said he hopes the concert will be the first of an annual event that focuses on various social issues.
"It's just the general consensus of all issues, social justice issues that we all face from gender to everything because all of it is a human experience and a human matter," he said.
Proceeds from the event will go to Me Too, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and additional organizations.

Decentralisation Policy in Zimbabwe: Impact on Local Government Performance
Masuko, Louis (compiler)
Nyoni, Desmond (assistant)
MetadataShow full item record
Decentralisation is the most common concept used in Zimbabwe to describe the relations between the centre and the local communities. Whether this is the most appropriate mode to capture these intricate relations is not the issue. Rather, it is the exposition of the concrete objectives behind the evolution of centre-local relations from 1980 in Zimbabwe, incorporating both the macro and micro actors and their interaction, that is the problem.

Jesus Christ, just when you think Trump has hit bottom, he starts to tunnel. His total ignorance of history, and virtually everything else, makes his own staff terrified of the things he says off-the-cuff and here's a perfect example why from his meeting the other day with African leaders at the UN.
U.S. President Donald Trump was met with silence from African leaders Wednesday when he tried to congratulate them for the economic progress the continent has made.
"Africa has tremendous business potential. I've so many friends going to your countries, trying to get rich," Trump told them at a luncheon Wednesday in New York, according to CNBC. "I congratulate you. They're spending a lot of money," he said.
Trump reportedly paused for laughter or applause, but none ensued.
The suggestion that wealthy Americans might be trying to enrich themselves in Africa would have been a sensitive one at the event, given that African labor and natural resources were subjected to centuries of European and American exploitation in the colonial era, including during the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
For God's sake, just how much of an idiot is this guy? You don't invoke colonialism and western exploitation of African natural resources when speaking to African leaders. A high school student who had taken just a single world history course would know better than that, but not Trump. Trump is the Jar Jar Binks of American politics, just wandering around saying stupid things and knocking things down without a single clue that he's doing it.
