I'm back, after a spring break - although it didn't involve any time on a tropical beach! First, a big thank you to everyone who has visited us at the farm or at Landis Valley. We've had a great start to the spring season. It's so nice to see our regular customers returning and often bringing their friends and relatives. It's also great to meet new customers who are referred by a friend, or see our ad or find out about us online. With so much going on in the spring, and many places to shop, we appreciate our customers' loyalty and friendship.
Landis Valley 2012 was great. The weather was good both days and although the intrepid plant people turn out no matter what the weather, the crowds are better when the weather cooperates. We have regulars who return each year at LV too. This year, we sold 81 flats of plants!
In addition to helping customers and maintaining plants, we've been busy outside too. We've gotten all the gardens planted with our new helper, Jon. With regular rainfall, all the established perennials were very lush this spring. Our annuals have been in long enough to take hold, so with rain continuing, everything should grow well. We have been having rabbit problems this year. They seem to be more plentiful this year - maybe more survived the mild winter. After planting, we noticed parsley and cutting celery had been chewed off, along with a few flowers. I think most will recover. At least we haven't had groundhog troubles yet - knock wood.
With the early burst of mild weather, things got off to a quick start this year. Lilacs in April, peonies at Mother's Day, lavender blooming in May and I just noticed the St. John's wort starting to bloom with its pretty yellow flowers. That's a couple weeks early - the plant gets its name from the feast of St. John, at the end of June, which is its usual bloom time.
The greenhouse and herb shop remain open 5 days a week through the summer - Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 5. We're open till 7pm on Wednesday evenings through June. Plant sale begins June 23!

Brindisi Calls on Cable Company to End Blackouts on Behalf of Local Consumers
Congressman Anthony Brindisi called on cable giant AT&T to negotiate in good faith with local broadcasters to continue to deliver local programming to their viewers. As thousands of Upstate New Yorkers lost access to their local television station this weekend, Brindisi went to bat for the local viewers.
"Local television provides critical programming for folks all across our district," Brindisi said. "These blackouts are a public safety issue. Many New Yorkers use local television to find out about breaking news, traffic accidents, and important weather events. These blackouts need to end."
Brindisi sent a letter to local broadcasters and DirecTV's parent company, AT&T, expressing his frustrations with the blackouts and the lack of progress in negotiations.
Over the 4th of July Holiday, AT&T's DirecTV stopped carrying WFXV, WPNY, WUTR, WIVT, WGBH, and WSYR. These stations continue to be blacked out for viewers on DirecTV.
Brindisi's entire letter to both parties can be viewed HERE.

There is one question that has been on my mind for awhile. Since we are spiritual beings, don't we have the right to kill ourselves like King Saul in the Bible? Or are we imprisoned in the physical form until death desires to come? I desire death of the body now... can't I just do that? Since we do not belong in this world anyway, what is wrong with committing suicide? I'm afraid I will be swa...

Rake Lijnen website
|Clients of Rake Lijnen
|Rake Lijnen (Marnix Oosterwelder)
|April – June 2016
In March 2016, designer Marnix Oosterwelder approached us to redesign and develop a new website for his design agency, Rake Lijnen. Marnix has a rich portfolio with much experience working for established employers and clients. His more recent, independent projects however have a strong focus on social and empathic design. The challenge was to present both his older and newer projects coherently but to still distinguish between projects done for former employers and projects that have been done under the Rake Lijnen name.
We decided to use Marnix's signature yellow as a deciding factor, and created a dark-themed website that conveys professionalism and reliability. Taking advantage of Marnix's rich photo archive of all his previous work, the framework of the website was set up with minimal styling and depends on images to bring out his personality and uniqueness. In the end, we made two separate project pages "Projecten RL" and "Portfolio Oosterwelder" in order to clearly differentiate between projects of Rake Lijnen and projects Marnix did for previous employers.

About Tetarise Thanks to the cryptocurrency market, Tetarise is able to tap into a niche between real estate owners and their immediate customers. Hotels retain more money, while customers pay less. By lowering the commission of intermediaries, we are following the path of companies that changed the rules of the game in their sectors — for example, Uber, which made a call for a taxi faster and a trip cheaper. Besides, we provide a full 10-15% cashback of hotel commission to every investor who bought Tetarise tokens valued at 10 ETH and more at the pre-ICO stage and 20 ETH and more at the ICO stage. In other words, our investors will be able to travel for prices they would never get on other booking platforms in their lifetime.

Trippki aims to solve common problems with traditional booking platforms and enable more sustainable relationships between customers and hotels.

In a culture that prizes independence and freedom from restraint, obedience sounds confining, even oppressive. It implies doing something I don't want to do just because of a command from a person in authority. Children know that the most unsatisfying answer to the question "But why do I have to?" is "Because I said so." As parents, we wish for that answer to be enough; we wish that our children would trust in our wisdom and love for them and know that obedience is for their good.
Those of us who have known and experienced Christ's transforming love long to respond with a glad, eager "yes" to all He asks. We follow the good shepherd because we know His voice and trust that He leads us in ways that are for our flourishing (John 10).
The cost
It is no secret that obedience is often difficult, even costly. But after almost four decades of walking with Christ, I've learned that the cost of disobedience is always greater than the cost of obedience. Twenty-five years ago, I said "yes" to following my husband to Hungary to serve with EMM one month after we were married. I had little idea what awaited us or how long we would stay. But that first step of obedience into the unknown led to 12 years of fruitful ministry, along with our share of difficulty, sorrow, and blessing. The testimony of centuries of God-followers, including readers of Missionary Messenger, would undoubtedly be the same.
We often think of obedience as a choice made in dramatic, life-altering circumstances, such as when Abraham prepared to sacrifice Isaac, when Daniel prayed in defiance of the king's decree, or when the early Anabaptists chose martyrdom over compromising their convictions. And while such moments provide us with the mountaintops of obedience, most of our life of discipleship is not comprised of such drama. It is in the plains and valleys of daily life that we make choices to follow Jesus or go our own way. If, by grace, we are found faithful at the end of our days, it is because our lives have been characterized by what Eugene Peterson called "a long obedience in the same direction." It is the daily choice to say "yes" to Jesus that prepares us for the once-in-a-lifetime tests of faith. Forgiving a family member who has hurt me feels mundane and insignificant. But obedience is like a muscle that needs to be exercised. With disuse, it gets stiff and difficult to move. With daily practice, obedience becomes, if not easy, at least a more natural response to Jesus' voice and the commands of scripture.
The first "yes"
I'm encouraged and inspired by the way EMM workers around the world, arm-in-arm with brothers and sisters in the places they serve, demonstrate this everyday obedience. In response to a nudging of the Holy Spirit, they said "yes" to leaving family and friends to go where God was leading. That first "yes" led to many other steps of obedience — asking people for financial and prayer support, saying goodbye, and entering a world where everything is unfamiliar. One family took this step just last summer and moved to Europe with their three young children. Obedience for them has come with the pain of watching their children struggle to learn a new language and make new friends. Another family, with teenage children, is making preparations to serve in Southeast Asia, in a country none of them has ever visited. These steps of obedience reveal a deep trust in Jesus' care and wisdom.
Because Christian obedience is relational, it does not look the same for everyone. I expected all my children to follow the general values and rules of our household, but the details of what I asked of them looked different depending on their age, gifts, and capacity. My aspiring teenage chef was given dinner duty while her younger sister mowed the yard or walked the dog.
In John 21, after Jesus gives Peter a glimpse into the fate that awaits him, Peter asks Jesus what His plans were for John. Jesus essentially tells Peter to mind his own business: Jesus' call to John would look very different than His call to Peter (John 21:20–23).
For some EMM workers, obedience has meant serving for decades in a location where Christians are often persecuted. For others, it has meant returning to the U.S. when security threats increased. Both are responses of obedience and faith. There are EMM workers who, in obedience to Jesus, live in a village in Southeast Asia without many of the conveniences most of us find necessary. Others, also in obedience, live in high-rise apartments in sprawling urban centers. For an intern in Europe, obedience means leading the youth group even though that's not his primary interest or gifting. For another worker in Europe, obeying Jesus' voice has meant laying down one part of his ministry in order to wisely steward his health and family.
Daily choices
Of course, it's not only EMM workers who have daily choices of obedience to make. Recently, a young man in my congregation asked for prayer for what he senses Jesus is asking him to do: preach the gospel in the main quad of his secular college campus. He's done it once already, and while he reported feeling terrified, the joy with which he recounted the experience testifies to the reward of obedience.
The work of making disciples around the world is possible only because of the lifestyle of obedience that is beautifully demonstrated not only by those who are sent, but by those who give and pray. One worker recently told of an unexpectedly generous contribution they received along with a note saying, "God reminded me it's His money and not mine!" There is sacrifice in a gift like that, but there is also an indication of great love and obedience.
Lorri Bentch serves as EMM's Mission Team director. She is married to Timothy Bentch; they served as EMM workers to Hungary from 1994 to 2006. She also served as the 1993–94 YES team leader to Russia and as a 1991–93 YES team member to Mexico. Lorri and Timothy are parents of three daughters.

Co-opting existing case designs for the Raspberry Pi is a popular way to make yourself a unique enclosure, and now we've seen it done with an external GPU housing.
After maker Félix García bought an Omen Accelerator, he knew he wanted to use the design for other things, so the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running OctoPrint for his 3D printers was about to get a new home.
After not being able to find the design online, García began to recreate it in SketchUp. It only took around three hours to complete with a few revisions and redesigns along the way.
Printing took five hours at 0.2mm layer height and 25% infill, using up 90 grams of filament.
To avoid painting, black, natural and red PLA was used. Aside from the plastic and the Pi, a few extra components are needed. The small window on the side, for example, can be glass, acrylic, or anything else you have available.
Then screws intended for hard drives were used to fix the board to the print, and the front panel was attached with magnets giving you easy access to the internals.
At 6.3 X 6.3 x 10 centimetres there is a lot of extra room inside of the enclosure, which you can fill with more hardware.
The files to print your own scaled down Omen Accelerator are available for free on Thingiverse.

Rare religious relic stolen from St. Dominic's church in San Francisco
A religious Christian relic stolen from the St. Dominic's Catholic Church in Lower Pac Heights has its San Francisco clergy "heartbroken."
The item, believed to be an ancient sliver of Jesus Christ's crucifixion cross, was reportedly stolen Thursday, according to the church's leaders.
"The True Cross is a relic that goes back 2,000 years to the very cross of Christ himself," St. Dominic's priest Michael Hurley said. "For it to be stolen in this kind of very deliberate way is certainly both upsetting and very saddening."
In a news broadcast with ABC7 News, Hurley showed viewers how a thief opened the container's lock and got away with the 2,000-year-old relic, leaving behind only a signed papal seal, which itself was dated to the 1700s.
The fragment of the True Cross, as Hurley writes on the church's website, is a "treasured place of prayer that has brought consolation to those who are weighed down by the crosses of their lives."
Hurley and the church leaders are hoping the thief will have a change of heart about such an important spiritual item, taking to their Facebook page to ask for its return, so that "it can continue to be shared by parishioners and visitors who come to pray before it."
The church also notes that should it be brought back to St. Dominic's, "no questions will be asked."

About a month ago, my friend introduced me to the website StumbleUpon, and since then, I have been "stumbling" onto various websites, images and videos that are interesting, informative and imaginative. One of these is the website of Candy Chang. She is a "a public installation artist, designer, and urban planner" in New Orleans who creates many really awesome things. She seems to concentrate on things that improve neighbourhood communication and address social problems. Her work is very cool, visual, and thought provoking at the same time.
The first project I saw is called "Before I Die…", where she sprayed painted a giant stencil onto the side of an abandoned house. There is a blank space and some chalk, so that the people of the community can express themselves and share their values.
I think one reason I felt like posting this is because I love public art and art installations. There is something about art in a public place, where everyone can enjoy it, interact with it and hold their own views and opinions that I love. It always makes a place feel more connected somehow. I admire artists and designers who do things like that.
Candy Chang's website is here, linked to her projects page. I hope you check it out 🙂

Being a women in today's society, trying all the hair removal products, my biggest issue was my sensitive skin. At home products always left me with bumps and in grown hair, not to mention nothing ever lasted. This was always a weekly or every other week chore I found myself addressing to stay comfortable. EVERYTHING changed after just my first appointment at The Sugar Stop, no bumps, less maintenance (once a month) and to top it off, Olena is professional and welcoming. Can you imagine shaving your legs only once a month and don't get me started with the Brazilian, now that's quality. She is a God, I am thankful she offers these amazing services!

Erislandy Lara is a professional boxer who was born in Guantanamo, Cuba, on April 11, 1983. While he did not take up the sport of boxing at a young age, Lara became known for his technical skills in the ring early in his amateur career. After a rough start, he finally became one of the best amateur boxers in Cuba in 2005. This recognition earned him a spot on the Cuban roster for the 2005 Boxing World Cup in Moscow. Lara dominated the early portion of the tournament, but eventually lost in the final match to Russian Andrey Balanov to get the silver medal.
He would also get the chance to represent Cuba in the welterweight division at the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, China. An early victory over his Russian rival Balanov put Lara in great position to succeed. He went on to win every match in the tournament to earn the gold medal. He added another gold medal to his impressive amateur boxing resume when he was the top fighter at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartegena, Columbia.
Erislandy Lara was expected to be a big contributor for the Cuban boxing team at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, but he was banned for the sport indefinitely for attempting to defect to Brazil in 2007. He did not let the governmental ban prevent him from his passion, so Lara used a boat to get to Mexico in 2008. He then went to Hamburg, Germany, to seek asylum. The successful defection to Germany allowed him to start his professional boxing career with a win over Ivan Maslov on July 4, 2008.
Erislandy Lara successfully won his first 13 professional fights before getting a chance to win a title. A match on November 27, 2010, against Tim Connors was for the vacant WBA Fedelatin light middleweight title. Lara won the match with a first round technical knockout. His first professional loss came against Paul Williams on July 9, 2011. Erislandy responded with two straight victories following the loss to Williams. This ability to rebound earned him a shot at the vacant WBA light middleweight title against Alfredo Angulo. Both fighters put on a good performance, but Angulo ultimately got knocked out in the 10th round.
Lara successfully defended his new WBA title with a unanimous decision victory over Austin Trout on December 7, 2013. While waiting for a strong contender to emerge, he decided to move up a weight class to face Canelo Alvarez. The risky decision did not pay off because Alvarez won the fight by split decision. Erislandy Lara added another title belt to his waist when he defeated Delvin Rodriguez on June 12, 2015, in a match for the vacant IBO light middleweight title. Both of the prestigious light middleweight titles were successfully defended against Jan Zaveck and Vanes Martirosyan to end 2016 with a professional record of 23-2-2. Ersilandy added another successful title defense to his career record when defeated Yuri Foreman with a fourth round knockout on January 13, 2017.

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico – President Trump confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would conduct raids on Sunday to deport immigrants with outstanding orders to leave the country.
Cities across the U.S. were bracing for the deportation raids this weekend, the second time in less than a month that Trump administration insiders have signaled roundups were imminent.
Those announced raids are causing a stir among immigration advocates in the Las Cruces area, where the NM CAFé immigration advocacy group spoke out against it.
"I think the fact that this administration is announcing this plan around raids is not only to continue the culture of dehumanization, but it's also more about inciting fear," said NM CAFé community organizer Allex Luna.
Trump said the raids will target criminals, but immigration advocates say the agency is increasingly targeting families who have recently entered the country. The president did not not give a specific time for when the ICE operations would take place on Sunday.
"There's nothing to be secret about. Can I tell you what? There's nothing to be secret about. ICE is law enforcement, they're great patriots. They have a tough job. Nothing to be secret about," Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday.
"If the word gets out, it gets out. Hundreds of people know about it. It's a major operation. So if the word gets out, it gets out. It starts on Sunday and they're going to take people out and they're going to bring them back to their countries or they're going to take criminals out, put them in prison, or put them in prison in the countries they came from. We're focused on criminals as much as we can before we do anything else," Trump said.
A law enforcement official briefed on the operation told ABC News agents would target only undocumented immigrants with final removal orders, who would be arrested and in most cases deported.
The same official said the operation will not arrest so-called "collaterals," those people who happen to be with the targeted individual. The official described this operation as a consolidated effort of something ICE does all the time.
ICE has declined to comment on the timing of any raids
Trump brushed off criticism from mayors who are against the action, saying the criticism is only from sanctuary cities.

The difference between a successful merger and acquisition (M&A) deal and a troubled one often hinges on whether culture is assessed in the due diligence phase of a transaction. Too often, culture is treated simply as a buzzword and remains unaddressed until after a deal is closed. Successful transactions require a holistic view of culture at an early stage, and a strong focus on people-related issues.
However, the due diligence phase of M&A transactions still focuses primarily on financial and legal aspects of the deal. If a deal is struck without a review of corporate culture, many of the expected synergies (achieving deal value and stimulating growth for the future) often do not materialize or end up costing much more financially or in employees.
Understanding behavioral norms and underlying assumptions about how an organization works is crucial to identify potential risks and to ensure that the two organizations entering into a deal can determine how to work together in the future. A review of the two cultures during the due diligence phase creates transparency and clarity.
The challenges of cultural considerations
The most immediate and important challenge of a potential M&A transaction is the retention of leadership and talent. A common misconception is that this is a financial issue, but research shows that the most frequently cited reason for the departure of managers and talented staff are related to the new organizational culture, together with discomfort and dissatisfaction about their new roles and the strategic direction of the company. Indeed, our 2017 Global M&A Retention Study identified that even a higher retention award does not improve retention.
To improve retention of managers and key talent:
- Involve staff from an early stage in shaping the new corporate culture.
- Set clear expectations.
- Ensure all employees understand how their roles contribute to the success of the new organization.
To reflect on the consequences of an HR mismatch, consider the following questions:
- What are the current and desired qualities of managers at the top of the organization?
- What are the most important characteristics of both organizational cultures and which culture is strategically most appropriate in the future?
- Which company's HR is strategically most appropriate to the combined organization?
- Is the merger or acquisition well supported within each organization, and how can we increase support?
How deal-makers can approach culture
During the due diligence phase, a culture evaluation is first carried out to evaluate the behavioral norms and values of both companies. The evaluation is done on the basis of existing information, personal observations from the deal team and in-depth interviews with managers and directors. In addition, the current compensation structure and the future expectations for the merger or acquisition are considered to align the joint corporate culture with the new corporate strategy.
There is no "one-size fits all" approach. The "perfect" culture formula to achieve an optimal working environment does not exist. For an organization to effectively implement its strategic priorities, it must first:
- Reach agreement on priorities amongst its directors
- Reach agreement with senior leaders about critical cultural traits
- Create a corporate culture that supports these priorities and cultural traits
- Align the "people strategy", employee value proposition and compensation policy with strategic priorities
Although the outcome of a cultural review during due diligence is rarely a deal breaker, it is of great value for:
- Understanding the most effective means of communication
- Creating an aligned vision
- Establishing effective leadership teams
- Fostering an integrated culture that supports business strategy
The ultimate goal is to match business and human-centered goals. The ambitions of organizations are inextricably linked to those of their teams. Therefore, keep an eye on the ultimate goal of the deal: take a step back, avoid the urge to act hurriedly under pressure from the deal team, and focus on bringing together a joint plan prior to the integration phase.
The sad fact is most mergers or acquisitions fall short of expectations. But by understanding — and dealing with — cultural differences between the two organizations can help increase the chances of success.

There has been an explosion in contemporary circus at Edinburgh in recent years.Circa have taken up residence every August for the past few years with a string of hits, including this year's Closer. The huge success of Knee Deep has seen Assembly putting on more circus shows including, this year, Attrape Moi and Grace at Assembly Checkpoint. The arrival of Underbelly's Circus Hub on the Meadows in 2015 sealed the deal: circus is now mainstream on the fringe. For the last two years, the Total Theatre awards have recognised circus in its own category. It's not just the fringe: this year the Edinburgh international festivalhosts the extraordinary James Thiérrée with The Toad Knew, a fantastical new creation that mixes circus, dance and theatre.
Joli Vyann's Imbalance at the Circus Hub pushes aside the boundaries between acrobatics and dance with a graceful and elegant show that considers our digitally obsessed world, and what it does to personal relationships, with intelligence and impressive skill. Emma Serjeant's one-woman circus show, Grace, at Assembly Checkpoint may struggle with dramaturgy and needs to find more clarity with its storytelling, but its impetus to use acrobatics to explore the trauma and confusions of a woman who has been hit by a car is a good one that, with less repetition and surer direction, may yet deliver.
Edinburgh audiences are up for anything. People who wouldn't go near a particular genre for the rest of the year will take a chance in Edinburgh and this allows circus to thrive. One of the best circus sequences I've seen at this festival is a straps act about domestic violence in the subversive hip-hop and burlesque show Hot Brown Honey at Assembly Roxy. Perhaps Hope in the Circus Hub, meanwhile, is themed around climate change as Rockie Stone and Vincent van Berkel seesaw their way to oblivion. There is an extraordinary sequence in which Stone builds a tower out of bottles, which rises upwards and leaves her stranded like a crop-haired Rapunzel.
Subverting expectation … Hot Brown Honeyat Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh.
One of the issues for circus in Edinburgh is context. As it proved last year withSmoke and Mirrors, the Assembly Checkpoint space is good for aerial work. But it doesn't suit a show like Grace, which takes place largely on the floor. The audience just can't see enough of what's going on. The Circus Hub may provide a home for circus and works perfectly well for traditional shows such asThrowback, the likeable but unchallenging young British circus show structured around the loose theme of twentysomethings' nostalgia for their childhoods, but the unshowy thoughtfulness of shows such as Perhaps Hope and Imbalance doesn't necessarily thrive when competing with the disco beat of the fairground. Or when it's presented in a Big Top context in which the audience are looking for thrills and spills rather than introspection.
There is a bigger issue around gender, too, both in terms of balance within companies and of representation. Hot Brown Honey subverts expectation, but many of the circus shows I've seen this fringe perpetuate traditional roles. Casus's latest show, Driftwood, in Assembly George Square, is as skilled up as you could want, if a little generic and soft focus, but unlike their previous piece, Knee Deep, it does little to challenge ideas around female strength and physical prowess in a company of three man and two women. Likewise, the eponymous star of Grace comes a cropper while eyeing up a man she fancies. And in Throwback the men wear jeans and shirts while the women are kitted out in tight little shorts and dresses and drenched with glitter.
This year's circus shows ask thought-provoking questions, but those behind the shows need to think more about how they present themselves on stage and the messages they send out about what contemporary circus is and wants to be.

The never-ending final: CAF set to hear 'walk-out' Wydad's... appeal
The never-ending final: CAF set to hear 'walk-out' Wydad's Champions League appeal
13th September 2019
By Osasu Obayiuwana
The African Champions League drama takes a further twist on Sunday 15 October, as the Appeals Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) sits to consider the appeal of Moroccan Club Wydad Casablanca.
CAF's Disciplinary Committee (DC), led by former South African FA CEO Raymond Hack, awarded the title to Tunisian club Esperance Sportive de Tunis on August 7, after it ruled that the Wydad abandoned the May 31 final at Rades, after disputing a disallowed goal.
"Wydad is considered to have lost the game in the final's 2nd leg, [and] a fine of $20,000 is imposed on the club for the abandonment of the match," the Disciplinary Committee decided.
Their decision was based on the application of Paragraph 17 Section 11 of CAF's Champions League rules, which states that: "If for any reason whatsoever, a team withdraws from the competition or does not report for a match – except in case of force majeure accepted by the Organising Committee or if it refuses to play or leaves the ground before the regular end of the match without the permission of the referee, it shall be considered loser and shall be eliminated from the competition."
A source within CAF, close to the Appeals Committee, told Insideworldfootball that a 95-page document has been prepared for the consideration of the Appeals Board when it sits on Sunday. AU Mustapha, a leading Nigerian lawyer, is the chair of CAF's Appeal Committee.
Should Wydad fail to overturn the decision of the DC, which is extremely remote – as they applied the CAF rules correctly – they have the right to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Esperance have been unable to collect their Champions League winners' cheque of $2.5 million, as a result of this appeal, as CAF said that it would not make the payout until a "final judicial verdict" had been reached on the May 31 final by CAF's legal bodies.
The 2020 Champions League final – and all subsequent finals – as a result of what happened in Rades, will now be a single game at a neutral venue.

Liverpool goalkeeper Simone Mignolet is hopeful the side can end their long time trophy-less drought in League Cup final against Man City on Sunday.
The Reds last won a trophy four years back against Cardiff City in League Cup final and since then their title hopes in every competition has fallen into a deep sea.
Simon Mignolet made reference to Chelsea's 2005 League Cup victory after they beat Liverpool 3-2 at final stage and the Blues have built on that success with additional 11 trophies.
And Simon Mignolet thinks winning against Man City on Sunday will inspire them to achieve more titles for the foreseeable future.
"I remember for Chelsea a few years back. It was the League Cup they won and after that they managed to win a lot of trophies, it gives everybody a confidence boost when you win your first trophy for a long time."
"For this young group of lads, I think it could be something that pushes us on to be even hungrier for trophies," the Belgium international said.
Jurgen Klopp was appointed six months ago after Brendan Rodgers was sacked and winning the trophy will be a massive boost for the Reds who fans are hungry for title.
Liverpool have Europa League second leg tie at home to Augsburg on Thursday before taking on Man City on Monday.

The town was Puget Sound's official port of entry in the mid to late 1800s. When steam power arrived, the ports of Tacoma and Seattle took over, leaving Port Townsend isolated. It proved a blessing in disguise, for today the city is a gem of a Victorian destination point dedicated to human scale endeavors.

"Lavish & sumptuous with flawless performances" – Colin Covert, STAR TRIBUNE
"Elegantly appointed and unabashedly romantic" – Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
Gugu Mbatha-Raw delivers "a breakthrough performance" (Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times) in this "gorgeous must-see film" (Cori Murray, Essence) that's based on an extraordinary true story. Although Dido Elizabeth Belle (Mbatha-Raw), an 18th century English woman of mixed race, is raised in privilege by her aristocratic great-uncle (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson), she is denied a proper social standing because of her skin color. But when Dido falls in love with a young idealist lawyer (Sam Reid) who aspires to create positive change, she finds herself caught between two worlds. With everything to lose, she struggles to convince those around her – and the society in which she lives – to overcome their biases and accept her fully. Only if she succeeds will she find true happiness in this exquisite masterpiece that also stars Miranda Richardson, Penelope Wilton and Matthew Goode.

Accurate, not profit-based information is what's needed. When you are armed with accurate weight loss information, you stand a better than average chance of succeeding in your weight loss plan. When we strip away all the hype about weight loss drugs, weight loss programs, rapid weight loss promises and all of the other false promises designed to vacuum your wallet and not your thighs we find the essentials of good nutrition and exercise; those old standards that require a bit of effort and energy on the part of the dieter. Good weight loss information is essential to a successful weight loss plan.
Weight Loss Information - Feeding Our Worst Fears?
Who is not struggling with weight problems nowadays? Wherever you look you will find people who are trying their best to lose weight. Among the most common questions you will ever hear, would be such thins as: "Groan, where can I throw this extra package I am carrying?" Yes, at 30-40 years, people usually tend to find it extremely annoying that even a glass of water extra will seem to add pounds to their figure.
Your Best Weapon - Accurate and up-to-Date Weight Loss Information
Many people do not know what to do when they find themselves spiraling helplessly towards becoming overweight, even often times in spite of not eating too much. Of course the best place to get true first hand weight loss information and details on how you should handle your weight problems would be from your own medical practitioner. As a matter of fact, your family doctor would be the best guide for you on this precocious road.
Other than your doctor, a good weight loss center can also be of invaluable help to anyone who is seeking professional assistance for loosing weight and keeping it that way. Here it would be possible for you to get not only the most accurate and latest weight loss information, but also you would be able to try out any of the methods that have been tried and tested already. Be careful though because any type of medicine may have a varied impact on various people; in order words it is not possible to generalize results, because they actually vary.
They say that nothing is impossible, once you know how to do it, and so hence, the only thing that you need to know from the whole gaunt of weight loss information is that of how to do it. Basically the rest anybody can figure it out, if necessary. One should be able to determine what the best way to lose weight is, and not have to worry about hurting themselves or others in the process.
Weight loss information can also be found in special health magazines, and so for those who need to know a lot about weight gain, weight loss and body-building this type of source is so much better. As well, in case you like certain physical fitness books, you can definitely subscribe for these and your get them each month. The best idea here is to obtain subscription for a long period of time whereby you can get a better deal.

Leading UK supermarket chain Waitrose has launched 14 new vegan products, including ready-meals, plant-based fish fingers, and frozen pizza.
The fish-less cakes are made from potatoes, butter beans, and seaweed, and the fish-less fingers are made from breaded tofu. Waitrose is also launching dairy-free tartare sauce to pair with its new vegan seafood products. The fish-less fingers have been a hit with customers since launching last month, boosting sales of vegan and vegetarian products 110 percent in one week.
Other new products include vegan mushroom and lentil meatballs, Asian-inspired greens with tofu, dairy-free beet risotto, vegan mac and mushroom pasta, a jackfruit burger, jackfruit chili sauce, veggie curry, and a barbecue jackfruit pizza on a stone-baked crust. New grab-and-go items include a Vegan MLT Sandwich – mushrooms, lettuce, and tomato – and a tabbouleh salad.

Although I try to limit the amount of 'Vegan Ready Meals' that I have I am always excited to see supermarkets releasing new vegan options. I've been plant based for 6 years now & the community has grown so much in that time. It's so good to see. I've tried 3 things from the @waitroseandpartners Vegan options. I managed to get them all from the reduced section & I have to say although they were good I think at Full Price they are expensive. Fish-Less Cakes are yummy although quite crumbly. I squeezed a lot of lemon ? on mine. They made a quick easy week day meal. 8/10 Mac & Mushroom. This is by the sandwiches and I guess they expect you to eat it cold. I ate it at home & warmed it up. It was really good, very flavourful but I could have eaten double the portion 7/10 Mushroom Carbonara. My husband had this and he loved it. Very creamy and a lot of flavour.

"The growing appetite for meat-free dishes has been reflected throughout the year with rising sales of vegan and vegetarian products, as well as the introduction of exciting and innovative new products to the foodie market," said Chloe Graves, chilled vegetarian and vegan buyer for Waitrose, in a statement.
The new launch follows the release of more than 40 vegan and vegetarian products into Sainsbury's last October, which included options from brands like Quorn, The Happy Pear, and Cauldron.
"We're excited to be a part of growing demand for vegan products and lead the way in creating, developing and supplying innovative ranges that delight customers. Our flavour packed products range from complete meals for a quick and easy dinner, to the staple vegan must-haves," Graves continued.
According to Waitrose, its customers are increasingly interested in plant-based food – searches for "vegan" on the website have doubled over the last year while "vegetarian" searches increased by 67 percent.
Searches for "vegan cake" jumped up 350 percent following the airing of the first-ever vegan episode of the "The Great British Bake Off" last October. Later that month, Waitrose reported that vegan and vegetarian sales were up 85 percent from last year, indicating strong consumer interest.
The UK is the current world leader in vegan product launches, according to data from market research firm Mintel. One in six products launched last year were vegan, boosted by the increased availability of own-brand options from supermarkets such as Waitrose, Tesco, and Sainsbury's.

I work hard in my day-to-day life to reduce my environmental impact in all kinds of ways, and I think for more people it's becoming a bigger consideration. The problem, in my opinion, is that they don't realise their environmental impact: what does it mean, and how can I reduce it?
A simple first step which I have found really insightful is finding out my carbon footprint. There are lots of different websites that you can use, but WWF's Footprint Calculator is one I've tried and tested. It's a short questionnaire which takes only a few minutes to answer, which asks you about the following areas of your lifestyle: Food, Travel, Home and Stuff.
The results of the questionnaire detail your carbon footprint as a % against the UK's 2020 target. For example, my result was 106%, meaning that if everyone in the UK lived like me, we would be 6% over the set target, meaning more improvements need to be made. It then breaks up your footprint as a % for each of the lifestyle categories: my highest category was travel at 72%, which obviously meant my other categories were fairly low as a result but indicates a lot of changes to be made here. It also compares your footprint to the UK average and world average, which is interesting to see, along with giving tips on how to reduce your carbon footprint.
Overall I think, although very simplified (which has both pros and cons), that this kind of insight is useful. It's easy to think that you're environmentally friendly because you recycle and switch off your lights, but what about all the travelling you do in your car, or how much meat you consume a week? This result allows people to see their own areas of improvement, with useful and easy tips to reduce their carbon footprint.

The integration of persons with disabilities is an essential objective of Red Eléctrica.
- Latest News
In 2014, with the support of experts from the Adecco Foundation, Red Eléctrica defined a Disability Management Model as part of the Company's healthy workplace model
The implementation of this model, in January 2015, has allowed Red Eléctrica to launch a Global Plan for the integration of persons with disabilities, and the monitoring thereof will allow us to set ourselves goals that are more and more challenging.
To ensure the implementation of the model, validate the proposals of the action plan and promote disability awareness and the commitment to the model, a Disability Management Coordinating Group has been set up, composed of Company directors and, in parallel, a Disability Management Task Force has also been established, composed of heads of departments of the areas concerned.
Red Eléctrica's commitment to persons with disabilities is implemented by means of the collaboration with the Adecco Foundation. This year, disability awareness days have been organised. In May, we received the visit of the Paralympic athlete and voiceover actress, Raquel Domínguez, who gave a talk about integration based on her personal experience. This week, we received a visit from Pablo Pineda, the first European university graduate with Down syndrome, who has spent his life breaking down the barriers on his way to becoming a benchmark for the whole of society, as there is an ever-increasing demanded for him to participate in forums and lectures at national and international levels.
These informative seminars help eliminate social perceptions about disability, understand diversity and bring us closer to it, in order to integrate values into our corporate culture which are very close to our Company such as equality, standardisation and non-discrimination.

The Happytime Murders somehow goes for the laziest possible jokes while also trying way too hard to be crude.
[rwp-review-recap id="0"]
Director: Brian Henson
Summary: When the puppet cast of an '80s children's TV show begin to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet takes on the case.
The Happytime Murders has been in development hell since 2008. That's a long time for a movie to finally make it to the big screen, and it is, unfortunately, probably the most interesting thing about the movie.
The Happytime Murders takes place in a world similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? only with puppets instead of toons. No one explains how we got here, and no one seems to care that much. The movie is essentially a noir as members of the Happytime Gang are getting picked off, and a former puppet cop and his human partner have to track them down.
That concept on its own could have been funny. The sheer weirdness that would come when you're looking at a noir with all of the tropes but with puppets would be inherently funny. The only moments The Happytime Murders work are when it's that movie. Instead it piles on a ton of gross-out, lowest-common-denominator humor that just isn't funny. A bunch of characters making crude sex jokes and saying "fuck" all the time isn't clever. At all. And it means that the movie falls completely flat when it comes to being a comedy. It isn't funny.
The marketing for this movie hasn't been great, with the trailers really playing up the gross-out comedy and the terrible jokes. The sad thing is there is the nugget of a good movie in here, which is probably the most frustrating part of all. If the writers had held back and trusted the audience of adults — this is a R-rated movie after all, so the target audience is adults, even if the humor is much more "15-year-old boy" — to get a little nuance, it would have worked.
They seem to be under the impression that the reason a movie like Deadpool worked was the gross-out humor and the swearing, but that wasn't it. You need interesting characters and clever humor for something like this to work, and this isn't it. This movie desperately wants to be offensive but also chooses the laziest jokes possible.
At the end of the movie, as it is common in comedies these days, we see some behind-the-scenes stuff including some of how they used the puppets. It's also the best part of the movie simply from a "so that's how they did that" angle and because the outtake jokes aren't trying as hard. It's another glimpse of the movie we could have had, which makes it frustrating above all else.
The Happytime Murders is a bad movie, but it's not even bad enough to get angry about. It's just a development hell project that finally got made and didn't live up to the premise, which is a shame.

WestConnex: Assurance to the Government
This audit assesses the assurance provided to the NSW Government for the initial stages of the WestConnex project. The audit examined the WestConnex project from concept development to the pre-tender phase for Stage 1A – M4 (Parramatta to Homebush Bay). It did not examine the merit of the project or whether it represented value-for-money. This audit found a number of shortcomings with the governance of the WestConnex project during its early stages and

Handback of the M4 Tollway
This audit focuses on the M4 handback. It looks at whether the road will be in good condition when the State gets it back, and whether it will cope with the extra traffic after the toll is removed. These are critical issues for taxpayers and motorists. Taxpayers don't want to be responsible for a large repair bill and motorists don't want to be stuck in traffic jams. To ensure that future private sector partnerships (PPP) deal adequately with handback,

Administering Domestic Waterfront Tenancies
The audit's overall conclusion is that Lands and Maritime are broadly achieving outcomes consistent with the IPART report on administering domestic waterfront tenancies. But a lack of collaboration between the agencies is contributing to poor customer service. Inconsistencies with the IPART report recommendations and operational differences between the two agencies result in different rents and conditions for tenants in the two agencies. The differences

Condition of State Roads
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) has improved the overall surface condition of State Roads in the last decade. Country road surfaces are now generally much better. Ride quality has improved and cracking has been reduced. The RTA has also achieved a substantial reduction in the number of structurally deficient bridges over the same period. Despite a significant increase in the State's contribution to maintenance since 1999-2000, the RTA has deferre

The Cross City Tunnel Project
In our opinion the Government's 'no net cost to government' requirement was a legitimate (but not the only possible) basis for the tunnel bid process. The Government was entitled to decide that tunnel users meet the tunnel costs. Structuring the bid process on the basis of an upfront reimbursement of costs incurred (or to be incurred) by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) was therefore appropriate. In our opinion, however, the Government, Treasury an

This new voice—Christ's voice—became the core principles of my faith: love, compassion, and respect. That voice I now realize was desperately wanting to be heard, a voice no longer comfortable with the place in which I had chose to confine it for so long—a place of bigotry, prejudice, fear, and misunderstanding.

Aftershocks from a catastrophic fire in San Francisco's Mission Hill neighborhood are still felt throughout the city; some of the nearly 60 residents are still displaced following the 2015 fire that occurred in a mixed-use building. The fire killed one resident and injured six others. According to reports, the unsprinklered building had repeated safety violations. And one lawmaker is telling repeat offenders with similar violations that enough is enough.
San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen has introduced legislation requiring landlords with buildings constantly flagged with safety violations to upgrade or install fire sprinkler and alarm systems. California's new homes currently require fire sprinklers. The new law would give the city's Department of Building Inspection and Fire Department the authority to order a building owner in an existing, unsprinklered residence with at least two fire safety violations to make these upgrades. Moreover, the upgrade costs cannot be passed on to the tenants, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
The news outlet also reports that between 2004 and 2016, the city experienced more than 250 residential fires that were two alarms or more. This legislation is "another tool for the city to use so tenants have a level of safety," Tommi Avicolli Mecca with the city's Housing Rights Committee told the Chronicle. "There is a problem with buildings that have violations that could lead to fires, and sometimes they go years without being abated. There's got to be a way that we can protect people when you've got these bad actors."

Abortion Ban in the Dominican Republic
Just recently, the Dominican Republic put a total abortion ban. What does that mean? Well, it means that it is completely illegal to get an abortion.
For those who don't know what an abortion is, it means that you get rid of the fetus while you are pregnant. However, it is not advised to get an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is legal in the U.S, however, it is banned in several countries around the world.
Abortion is a shaky topic to talk about, considering people have several different views. Many people don't support abortion because they may consider it 'killing' the fetus, however, it is not technically considered a fetus, but it is still highly dangerous.
In the Dominican Republic, they have made abortion completely illegal. Some people think it's a good thing, but some think otherwise. There are several reasons as to why people get abortions, and they're usually not because a girl was in a committed relationship and just didn't feel like becoming a mother. Usually, women have abortions because their bodies were used in a way no person's body should be used.
This abortion ban means several things. There are girls about the age of twelve who have been through traumatizing events, and that leads to a pregnancy that should be terminated. With the new ban, that would mean that girls as young as ten could become mothers. Abortions are typically done when a woman is assaulted/raped, when the mother is not safe during her pregnancy, or when the fetus is unlikely to survive.
Just recently, the Republic of Ireland just released its ban on abortion, making it legal again. This was a relief to many Irish women, but it was not to others.
In El Salvador, abortion is completely illegal, and women have been punished for abortion. Several countries are like this, but some may think that El Salvador has the worst laws on abortion.
But because it's illegal doesn't mean it won't happen. Some women will get illegal abortions to protect themselves from pregnancy. The procedure is dangerous, but it is something some find necessary.
Getting an illegal abortion is fear for your life. Considering abortion could be considered a crime in countries where it is illegal, it is a fear for your life. Unplanned pregnancies can lead to abortion, and an illegal abortion can cause a lot of problems. Since it has been banned, abortion is punishable by imprisonment. It is said that some women are afraid to go to the hospital after a miscarriage because it may seem as if they have had an abortion.
A miscarriage is when you're pregnant and the baby dies in your stomach without intention. Miscarriages are different from abortion because abortions are when the fetus is being taken out, while a miscarriage is when you lose the fetus.
When CNN interviews a doctor from the Dominican Republic, he had stated that "8% maternal of deaths resulted from illegal abortions."
Illegal abortions are much more dangerous because this means that the people who do the procedure are not as professional as doctors meant to do the procedure, which causes a lot of problems to women's bodies.
Back in July, there were protests saying that abortions should not result in such harsh punishments. During a poll, about 79% of people think the punishments should be lessened or completely gone. While this is a topic hard to discuss, it is needed to be known. While I would not like to address my view on abortion, I do believe that if it is your body, it is your choice.
