Stress is something all of us experience every day in one form or another, and unfortunately, some of it we cause ourselves. If you have a busy lifestyle, whether from maintaining a hectic, full-time job, a family or both, you may not have enough hours in the day to pay attention to everything that needs to get done in your life.
Many people have clutter zones in their house or apartment. Whether you have the pile of shoes at the door, the stack(s) of paper on your desk or the carefully selected drop points of clothes, keys and other items, there is hope for a more organized, less stressful environment without a massive impact on your time.
There are a few things you can do to alleviate these clutter zones. First do a room by room assessment of your problem areas. Then, ask yourself "why". Why do clothes always seem to pile up on your dresser or floor? Why do your bills and important documents always get lost? Why do your keys and other random items always end up being strewn from kitchen counter to sofa to dining room table? You get the idea.
As a rule in my house, if you take something out, put it back in its proper place. The floor, chair or sofa, kitchen counter, dresser top or dining room table are just a few examples of places things should never be deposited. There should be a place for everything and everything in its place as the saying goes. It takes less time to put things away as you go than it does to do a massive clean-up because you didn't put it away properly to begin with.
Now to figure out how to organize those problem areas. Piles of shoes in entry ways are common. Most people don't want to soil their floors. Why not get an over-the-door shoe organizer? There are also shoe stands you can purchase to help you organize them and keep them out of the walkway.
Paper sorters or organizers can help out with the piles of mail and other documents. There should be labels on the organizer of choice so each document goes into its own designated category, which will prevent mix-ups and lost documents — saving you more time.
Constantly losing your keys? I have little hooks attached (the ones you can pull off without damaging the wall) to the wall underneath my kitchen counter. Perhaps you could do something similar by putting up a key rack or placing a bowl to hold them and other random items by the entryway. This will prevent you from searching high and low for them — especially when you are already running late for work or school in the morning!
Piles of clothes in your bedroom, bathroom … living room [*shudder*] ? Well, there's a clothes hamper for that. Wherever you see piles of clothes the most, you need a place to put them. You can get nice hampers that go with your decor and put them close to the spot where the clothes always seem to accumulate. If your mountain of clothing tends to be coats and similar things, perhaps it is time to invest in a coat rack instead.
If you have other types of organizational problems lurking around your home, you might consider organizational tools or containers. Learn how your friends and family organize similar items. Perhaps adopt some of their methods. Above all, be consistent. Put things in their place right away. By doing this, you will always be able to find what you are looking for and save time, and you will also help keep your home clutter-free and save time cleaning in the long run as well.
The less time you spend worrying about finding things or cleaning things, the more time you have stress-free.

Who says only grapes can be turned into wine? Turnips can be turned into wine, too. There are turnip wine recipes that can certainly come up even to the finest grape wine around.
If you find it hard to believe, try this turnip wine recipe for size. You will need:
- Four pounds of turnips
- Three pounds of sugar
- A lemon
- An orange
- A gallon of water
- A teaspoon of yeast nutrient
- Wine yeast
- One Campden tablet (optional)
Carefully scrub the turnips to remove dirt and slice thinly. Boil the sliced turnips in water until tender. Then, using a nylon straining bag, strain the turnip into the fermentation bucket without squeezing. Add the sugar and stir making sure to dissolve it completely.
Once the liquid has cooled, add the lemon juice, orange juice, wine yeast and yeast nutrient. Put the turnip pulp in a sachet or cheese cloth, tie the top loosely and put it in the liquid. Set aside for a week in a warm place punching down the sachet twice every day. Remember not to squeeze.
After seven days, drip the sachet and discard the solids. Store the liquid in a warm place, allowing the fermentation to work. You will notice the liquid clearing, the trace of sediments disappearing.
If it does not clear up in six months, you can use Amylase or any other starch enzyme to treat the liquid. Wait for two more months.
When fermentation has stopped, you may rack the wine into a jar and store it in a cooler area. Wait for the wine to age – about 12 months – before tasting.

I recently discovered Lanebypost while checking in on my Facebook page, and I just love the clean and simple, yet eye catching designs created by graphic designers Joff Casciani and Oliver Wood, from the graphic design studio Joff+Ollie Studio. I'm a great believer in phrase 'Less is More', and I think these designs are a perfect example of this, simple elegant forms and shapes that just speak for them self.
I particularly like the David Mellor Anniversary hand pulled screen prints, the cutlery print being my favourite, and the Twin tone paper Lamp Shades that have been carefully matched and feature two inspiring colours from Little Greene's paint collection, its difficult to pick a favourite colour, but my top 3 would be the Smoke Grey & Factory Yellow, the Black and China White, and the Bright Red and Stone, all available from Lanebypost and a few carefully selected stockiest.

As you may be able to see in this photo, in front of the main greenhouse in Allan Gardens stands this Ontario Heritage Trust plaque which says:
Coordinates: 43.661833 -79.3745
Founded in 1834 under the patronage of Sir John Colborne, lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada (1828-36), this was the first horticultural society organized in this province. Established to encourage the introduction and cultivation of improved varieties of fruits, plants, and vegetables, its first president was the Honourable George Markland, inspector-general of Upper Canada. An oval of five acres was donated to the Society by the Honourable George W. Allan and on September 11, 1860 the Horticultural Gardens were opened by the Prince of Wales (Edward VII). Additional land was leased from the municipality of Toronto in 1864 and in 1888 this park was turned over to the city. It was named Allan Gardens in 1901.

Dominican Sisters of Houston
What's Happening
HOUSTON - The Dominican Sisters of Houston and Dominican Family have organized
an around-the-clock vigil at the site of the proposed child detention facility
just east of downtown Houston (EaDo). The facility is only necessary because of
recent extreme changes in our nation's immigration policies. The short lived
family separation policy resulted in over 2,000 children forcibly taken from
their families with no clear plan how they will be reunited. The newest
executive order now opens the door to the indefinite detention of children
along with their families. These policies have created a moral crisis. Ordained
and lay people of many different faith backgrounds have already committed to
participate in the vigil until they can be assured that the facility will not
serve as another piece in the infrastructure of cruelty.
Judy McCullough, current leader of the Dominican Family, stated:
"As Dominicans we are called to preach. Preaching in this case means inviting
people of faith and goodwill from all backgrounds to come together to call out
a terrible crisis that stirs our conscience. We are pleased to help facilitate
this opportunity for Houstonians to bear witness. It is our hope that no new
facilities get built that will lock up people seeking a better life in our
We, the Houston Dominican Sisters, publicly commit ourselves to study and
address the crucial justice issues of our times. We assume the risks
inherent in preaching and teaching the Gospel. We will work to transform social
structures which oppress the powerless, ministering with them in our common
struggle to remain faithful to the Word of God.
Dominican Family Mission Statement: We, members of the Dominican Family are
called to embody the Dominican charism, seek Truth, preach the word of God, and
promote the dignity of all persons. As part of the global Dominican Family we
commit ourselves to lives rooted in prayer, study, community and preaching.
Through our gifts of diversity, we strive to grow together as co-creators of
justice and peace.

In a continuing effort to circumvent Congress, President Obama has recently stated that if the Supreme Court rules against his policies he plans to use executive power to achieve his goals.
This he has been doing since the 2010 election when voters expressed their opposition to policies advanced during his first two years in office.
Voters in 2012 need to decide if our country will honor our foundation of three separate parts to our government (judicial/legislative/executive) or the dictates of one man.

After a case heralded for its landmark decision, the Social Security Administration will help two men with training and assistance because their mental disabilities prevented them from understanding eligibility rules. Although the men, who receive Social Security Disability benefits for their mental disabilities, reside in another state, the impact of the decision will likely reach to all jurisdictions, including Georgia.
How are SSDI and SSI different for Georgia residents?
There are many acronyms and terms that we throw around when discussing Social Security income and payments. Some Georgia residents may be confused about the difference between Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income. Although the terms are deceptively similar, they have significantly different meanings. It's important to know the difference between the programs when attempting to figure out eligibility.
Officials careful about Medicaid revamp
State officials who intend to redesign Georgia's $7.8 billion Medicaid program are facing significant challenges because of the program's expanded role. No longer is the program, along with Social Security Disability, providing only medical care. Rather, the programs are now rehabilitative, delivering job training and other important services for low-income residents.
SSD fund, benefits may be shrinking
Although Social Security retirement plans and Medicare have been on the hot seat for congressional budget cutters, few people have noticed that Social Security's disability trust fund is also dangerously close to running out of money. Social Security disability money is likely to be depleted much sooner than the other two programs, leaving 11 million Americans with a more than 20 percent cut in their resources.

The UK driver training community

Pages: 1
Pupil was asked to do a TIR and then drive on then stop on left in a convenient place.
Examiner explained we will be doing independent drive for approx 10 minutes and will inform when it is over.
He asked my pupil to turn right at the end of the road, then follow signs to Gatwick until he gives further directions.
After turning right, there was another right turn, followings signs to Gatwick then a roundabout which the signeage board was snapped so no directions were visible. Examiner said that road sign was snapped so at the roundabout turn left which is for Gatwick.
Followed to more roundabouts, one of which was ahead, and the other was left.
Examiner then said that is the end of the independent drive and will now revert back to giving directions. This was said on the move.
Pupil passed, one driver fault, for exceeding the speed limit when overtaking a cyclist. This was her first test (and last!)
Good stuff and congrats on result.
I can now imagine that tomorrow there will be a procession of driving school cars driving from Reigate all following the signs to Gatwick!

The thing that's really nice about the cabins we've stayed at is that we can go from there to explore other beautiful areas. We can walk around and still come home to a nice place to relax and clean up. I love seeing the different mountains and rivers that there are in this country. No two look the same. Nothing can beat the view from a wild flower covered hillside. Most of these areas had no other people to be seen in them which made it all the more spectacular. We were glad for my Dad's Grand Cherokee to get us to some of these spots. I seriously don't think my car could have handled it. I wonder if this keeps the tree warm during the harsh winters here! These little purple flowers smell like black pepper if you take the time to sniff them. This is a chipmunk eye view of Mike and Gabby exploring the forest. I can never get enough of the wild roses and their heavenly smell! Seeing some of these rockslides made me glad that it wasn't pouring rain while we navigated the narrow roads. Here's an idea of just how narrow the roads were. I love the sound of these mountain rivers so much! I can imagine the fish in this stream hopping right into my frying pan! The weather couldn't have been more glorious. This is classic Montana! This is ironically called the Stillwater…I think not! Walking these trails is something I've grown to love so much. Several people have been hurt and killed by bears over the last couple years…it pays to pay attention to your surroundings. A couple we met up here actually saw a large black bear but all we saw were these signs. Our days for really long hikes are over and seeing the names of these places makes me glad about that. I have to admit these trailheads did look inviting never the less. I will leave this as a bookmark until next time! Now we look forward to my dear brother visiting from Africa. He will be here on Monday…we are so excited. He's not been here to visit us for about 14 years though we visited him last year. Also so I don't leave anything left to guess. The reason I said last week was hard was because our trip to the Philippines has been postponed. I believe this to be right but it was also very difficult. Time and seasons belong to God. We continue to trust Him. Bless you all, thanks for visiting!

You do live in a magnificent state Joe. The scenery is gorgeous and you captured it perfectly in the photos.ReplyDelete
I am so your trip to the Philippines has been postponed. Hopefully you can go soon.
Enjoy the visit with your African brother.
You live in a very beautiful State.ReplyDelete
I've always wanted to see Montana and Wyoming. Thanks for almost next best thing!ReplyDelete
Been a few years since I've been up there but it appears to of not changed much. Most of the roads were for high clearance and a pick up sufficed. Used camp out on the western edge of the Big Horn Mountains, listen to owl go out hunting at night, the coyotes yipping but never met any bears.ReplyDelete
Flathead Lake is one of those place I would love to go back to. On up through Glacier again, there I saw more then a few bears.
Then travel across the great plains of eastern Montana, vast rolling fields of grain, expansive herds of cattle. Where I live now is a couple of miles from the Texas/Montana cattle trail. Cattle herds of thousands.
Hope the visit is good and your trip can be rescheduled.

Being in a cabin in the mountains sounds so wonderful, Joe. Beautiful pictures of the mountains and forest.I liked your perspective on the photo of a chipmunk's eye view. Made me smile at the thought.ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear your trip was cancelled but I know God has His reasons, even though you may not understand them at this time. In the meantime enjoy the visit with your dear brother.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. It is always nice to hear from you.
Take care and have a nice weekend.

Joe I love your photos. Seems we love to capture the same things. I really like that. Im not sure about the moss on the trees that keeps them well in the winter . I think its the roots and how much water they have way down there and how old they are to be honest. But it is a good thought to look up.ReplyDelete
You almost look like your using a wideangle lens.
Great work with your camera.
We have stayed in a few Cabins and seem to think we may go back to that and sell our RV .
Loved your blog again.

The Price Of Renewal
"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth." – Hebrews 11:32-38
While the pursuit and the fruit of spiritual renewal is rewarding and refreshing, it does come at a price. The Devil does everything that he can to prevent or at least slowdown spiritual maturity in God's children. Simply put, as a Christian, you are already a target, but even more so when you are trying to walk right. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Like it or not, we are in a spiritual battle. The battle is real, it's often long and hard, and our adversary is sneaky and smart. He will not waste his resources on those who aren't trying to live right nor will he waste his time with things or opportunities that don't have the possibility of stirring up an interest in you. That is exactly why we must be prepared and willing to make the right choices when the pressure is turned up and temptations are presented. But, while we have been called to be Christian soldiers on a spiritual battlefield, the reality is that many of God's people are walking around unprepared, unaware, and often unwilling to make the choices and sacrifices that transform us into the image of Jesus and ultimately lead to victory. The old adage goes, "You get what you pay for." That's true spiritually as well. Yes, there is pleasure in sin for a season, and yes sometimes the choice to do right can be hardest decision to make, but, in the end, God makes it well worth it. Remember that it is often our sacrifices that makes the greatest difference in someone else's life.

National Geographic : 1925 Dec
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE bred steers ate no more grass and tramped out far less than did their Longhorn brethren. When the Texas cattlemen awoke to the need of better blood, there arose at once the question of Texas fever and its deadly tick. As early as 1865 the records show that some mysterious disease fol lowed the introduction of cattle from that State into States to the north. The trail herds that found their way across the plains to Abilene, Cimarron, Dodge City, Fort lHayes, and other shipping points along the new railroads in Kansas brought death to the local cattle. Wherever the herds from Texas grazed across the Northern ranges local cattle died in large numbers. The Texans stoutly denied the charge that their cattle brought the disease, alleging that their stock was healthy, and that the losses were due to local conditions. So heavy were these, however, that the Northern stockmen took drastic measures to protect themselves. Trail herds reaching the Kansas State line were met by armed men, who refused the Texans passage across their ranges. Not until 1891 was the cause definitely located, when Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, established the fact that a tick found on nearly all the cattle from Texas east of the Iooth meridian, as well as on those of other Southern States below a certain line, car ried the germs which caused the spread of the fatal fever. By a series of rota tions in the use of pastures, the Govern ment authorities began to clean up the Southern ranges with such success that the "tick line" has now been pushed far below the northern boundary of Texas and other Southern States, and eventually the whole region will be free from this disease. "THE LAST OF FIVE THOUSAND" Between the late seventies and the be ginning of the present century the range cattle business had a marvelous expansion in the Northwest. In fact, during that period it reached its zenith and entered into a decline that culminated in the great financial debacle of 1923. This development began with a heavy movement of Southern-bred "stockers" into Montana, the Dakotas, and Wyo ming, filling the Great Plains region to the point of overstocking. Grass was free and the business for a time proved profitable. Capital was available in ap parently unlimited amounts. Cattle ranching became invested with a glamour that attracted adventurous spirits, Old World capitalists, and all sorts and con ditions of men. For a time all went well. Then came the greatest catastrophe the industry had yet encountered, the bad winter of 1886 87, which brought the whole great North west gambling structure tumbling to the ground. It was a period of Arctic se verity that all but wiped out many of the leading operators. At the close of that winter "Charlie" Russell, later a noted animal painter, of Great Falls, Montana, who was then in charge of a big herd, was called upon for a report. He responded by drawing a picture which is to-day a classic in the cattle country. Underneath a solitary, emaciated steer, standing on a snow-cov ered mound and encircled by expectant wolves, he wrote, "The Last of Five Thousand !" DRY FARMERS ROUT CATTLEMEN Texas had plenty of cattle in those days for rehabilitation purposes, and capi tal came to the relief of the cattlemen, enabling them to restock. The business again entered upon a brief period of pros perity. The hardy white-faced I lereford had proved to be well adapted to the open range, and that blood to this day finds greater favor on the grazing grounds of the West than any other (see page 672). During the period preceding this great disaster the entire Northwest, from the Missouri River on the east, the Niobrara on the south, to the Canadian line and be yond, was full of cattle, so full that the natural pastoral wealth of the region was fairly dissipated, due to overstocking, which inevitably heralded the decline of the industry. Pastures were destroyed and settlers invaded the range-the advance guard of the army of dry farmers who in recent years have suffered so severely at the hands of implacable Nature. The latter, however, forced the big-herd owners to 630

Today was a pretty fun, and interesting, day.
We basically sat around at Luca's house the entire time, resting from our fight with Grey. We watched TV and did homework and all that normal day to day bullshit while talking over what we were going to doing to next. We still haven't decided on that yet, by the way.
Norman is incredibly pissed off because of what we did. He's even quit talking to us! He told us that what we attempted to attack Grey too early, that we have apparently lost the element of surprise...that we should have waited for Markus, Patrick, and Steven to receive what he called a "mark."
He quit talking to us when we asked what he meant by a "mark."
I am guessing that, by mark, he meant the numbers currently stitched to our chests. Maybe they are connected to Degausser...? No, they're definitely connected to it.
Luca's little sis, Katie, hung with us guys again. She's just so funny and cute, haha. We watched some movies with her, and also messed around outside with her. I feel as if she's my own little sister by now. Even Keil is acting like she's a part of the family, and he usually hates kids!
It was so funny. We held a mock wedding for Katie! She wanted to marry her teddy bear, whom she named Martin. But she also wanted to be the flower girl. I dunno, it was weird. We got her a bunch of flower petals, and helped her throw them all over the yard, haha. She told us that she wanted a fancy limo, too! But we couldn't do that, so we convinced her to ride on one of our backs instead.
I think she was influenced by what Luca mentioned earlier; they're going to a wedding in a few days.
And Luca just reminds me of how I feel about my little sister, Cosette. He's always happy to play with Katelyn, always hanging around with her. Of course, they play the sibling rivalry thing...I mean, who doesn't do that? But he's always there for her. I know he'll never let anything bad happen to Katelyn.
I met Luca's father today. He's pretty nice. Pretty professional, though.
Our bodyguards showed up too, for the party. When it reached late evening, they even started a small bonfire out in the gigantic backyard Luca has. We had smores. Delicious, delicious smores.
Patrick, Markus, and Keil goofed around, while Andrew and Luca were in some heavy debate on the current state of our country. Steven and I just...we talked about Anna. We talked about her while wishing on a shooting star that she's alright, wherever she was. Or is.
I'm considering the possibility that her soul is contained inside of The Dying Man. If so...that bastard...
If so, she's gone, for good. No Heaven, no Hell.
I know this because Grey knows this.
Not that I think there is a heaven, or hell.
I think.
I'm honestly not sure what to think anymore, to be honest.
I wish Anna was still here. I wish you all could have gotten to know her. She was the only person whose ever actually loved me.
I've got my friends back together though. It's strange, this good thing, this reunion between us, was because of Anna dying, because of Grey. We hardly talked at all before all of this. For a while, Steven and Anna were my only friends.
Sometimes I think back to my days in First Colonial High. Sometimes, I think about what really happened then. It feels so weird to look back on them,...it's almost like I was in some sort of fog back then.
All memories have gaps between them, yes; but the memories from there also have giant craters cracking the surface. It almost feels as if those days were artificial in some way.
Well, nevermind. I was getting too introspective then, and I'm getting too introspective now.
We've all bonded well with our bodyguards. They're almost a part of The 757. Vera's still not back from the hospital...I guess Grey fucked her up pretty bad.
I'll settle the score. Just you wait. Just watch.
Grey's losing his hold on me,
all the while my hands that are gripping Grey's neck are tightening.
Fuck, ...school tomorrow. Gotta sleep.

BAKU, June 15 (Reuters) - Azeri gas exports from the first stage of its giant Shah Deniz field fell by 5.2 percent to 3.031 billion cubic metres (bcm) in the first five months of this year compared with the same period in 2017, the State Statistics Committee said on Friday.
Gas from Shah Deniz I is exported through the South Caucasus pipeline.
Export volumes from Shah Deniz I operated by an international consortium led by BP were 7.314 bcm in 2017.
Azerbaijan's gas exports through all pipelines totalled 9.897 bcm in January-May this year.
The European Union is trying to reduce its dependence on Russian gas by developing the so-called Southern Gas Corridor, which is expected to bring about 16 bcm of gas a year to Europe by 2020.
The gas would come from the Shah Deniz II field via the 1,850 km (1,150 mile) Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) through Turkey, the South Caucasus pipeline extension through Georgia and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) to Greece, Albania and Italy.

So inspired reading this. Think I need a swim on the beach too. Not a fan of cold water either, but once I'm in, I simply always love it. Thanx for reminding me. 🙂
Today I began my day with absolutely loving my life. Running on the beach this morning, I thought about all the things that I am so grateful for.
Last night we had our ladies movie club & dinner, and what a joy to catch up with amazing friends. My sister had a sleep over, and we had a good catch up over coffee this morning. Sisters are the best. We then went down to the beach. It was so beautiful, with a moderate temperature, and no wind, and blue skies. We were so inspired,and ran further than we usually do. Yay, we are getting fitter, and it is so great running with the awesome mountains in view. When we had finished running, we had a quick dip in the sea. I am not fond of cold water, and when our youngest son was about 10 years old, I had a swim in the sea with him, and he said to me "you see Mom, Moms can swim. But, I do know the benefits of sea water, and once I am in, I love it. We came home, and I broke my 3 day Skinny Juice detox, with a fresh fruit platter. Life is good.
Please, remember to wear sunblock: www.liferetreat.co.za/shop/skin-care/sun-care-lotion-spf36
The benefits of sea water are
– It clears our sinuses, preventing sinus headaches
– The salt bleaches our hair, giving us natural highlights.
– It exfoliates our face and body skin.
– It helps to eliminate cellulite.
– The magnesium in sea water help relax our muscles, induce sleep & reduce stress
– Salt is an excellent cleansing agent.
– It helps to heal wounds.
– Salt helps get rid of built up chemicals in our hair.
– Swimming makes us fitter.
– Being in nature, balances our minds, bodies and souls.
Finally walking barefoot on the beach, grounds us, and exfoliates our feet. There are many other benefits to walking barefoot, and I highly recommend doing this regularly.
We have the perfect alternative for people that don't live near the sea. Try our dead sea products, and make a beach in your bathroom.
Trackback from your site.
So inspired reading this. Think I need a swim on the beach too. Not a fan of cold water either, but once I'm in, I simply always love it. Thanx for reminding me. 🙂
The cold water has so many benefits, we kept telling ourselves that before we ran in, it was so refreshing 🙂

Kevin Hart Cheating Rumors Exploited By HollywoodLife With Made-Up Stories
Kevin Hart was one of this week's hot topics after reports claimed he cheated on pregnant wife Eniko Parrish. HollywoodLife sought to exploit the subject as much as possible, including by making up two supposedly "exclusive" stories that were really just fake news.
As Gossip Cop reported, on Wednesday the National Enquirer and RadarOnline both published fuzzy paparazzi photos of Hart in a car with another woman. Taken in Miami earlier this month, the pictures showed the comedic actor turned around in the front seat so he could talk to the woman in the back seat. Because of that positioning, their faces appeared as if they were close together, and both outlets spun it as if they were actually kissing and Hart was caught cheating on Parrish. As we noted, however, a rep for the star denied any inappropriate behavior took place, and he himself called the claims "B.S."
HollywoodLies, though, wasn't content to simply address the original report and Hart's denial. Since Wednesday, the webloid has published 13 stories — 13! — to skin this cat in every sensational way possible. On Thursday, that included an article headlined, "Why Kevin Hart Isn't Worried About The Cheating Rumors – He Wouldn't Make Same Mistake." In the post, the site claimed it "EXCLUSIVELY" learned the stand-up comedian wasn't "sweating the headlines."
Then on Friday, another post was headlined, "Kevin Hart Promises Pregnant Wife Eniko To Never Embarrass Again: 'He's So Sorry.'" In this new one, the online outlet proclaimed that, in the wake of Hart being "spotted with another woman, it had "EXCLUSIVE details on how he's never going to make that mistake again." Both pieces were based on a "source." But Gossip Cop can reveal that neither of these "exclusive" stories appear to be authentic or legitimate.
Hart's camp is not commenting on this subject aside from the flat denial already issued and his own remarks on Instagram and briefly to "Entertainment Tonight." No one genuinely close to him is otherwise discussing this matter publicly, and reputable publications have not run any such "source" stories about the situation. So, we're supposed to believe HollywoodLies, a site known for being a fabrication factory, is the only outlet that scored such scoops? Call us cynical, but Gossip Cop isn't buying it.
And from our own investigation, it seems these two stories were simply made up and only done so so HollywoodLies could capitalize on a topic that happened to dominate Twitter one night this week. After all, Gossip Cop has pointed out many other instances when the webloid has taken a real news story and built multiple fake news stories around it just for the sake of traffic from Google and fans. From what we can tell, that's exactly what's going on here.

Eastern District of California Throws Out Civil Rights Lawsuit Against Modesto County Officials in Wrongful Conviction Case
- November 15, 2016
- Court Decision
- 0
On January 15,1997, a rental home in Modesto, California owned by George Souliotes burned down, killing tenant Michelle Jones and her two children. Authorities arrested Souliotes, charging him with three counts of homicide and one count of arson.
At trial, fire investigators from the Modesto County Fire Department testified that the fire was caused by arson. They relied on several factors to support their conclusion: the fire being unusually hot; "pour patterns" on the floor where flammable liquids obviously had been poured and ignited; "deep charring" on the walls; insufficient fuel load in the house to sustain such an intense fire unless an ignitable liquid, i.e., an accelerant, had been added; a hand-held hydrocarbon detector indicated the presence of ignitable liquids at the scene; and an eyewitness testified that a suspicious person had surreptitiously visited the house just before the fire started. Further, the chemical compound on Souliotes' shoe was the same chemical compound found at the scene. In March of 1999, Souliotes' first trial ended in a mistrial with the jury leaning 11-1 for conviction. A second trial, in May of 2000, resulted in a guilty verdict and Souliotes was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Souliotes maintained his innocence. Assisted by the Northern California Innocence Project, he fought his conviction. A criminalist, chemist and arson investigator, John Lentini, was able to prove that the chemical found on Souliotes' shoe was not the same as was found at the scene. Further, advances in fire science demonstrated that the evidence the fire department relied on to "prove" arson was no longer considered reliable. In April of 2013, a judge vacated the convictions and returned the case to the lower court for a retrial. Instead of facing another lengthy trial, Souliotes pled no contest to involuntary manslaughter for failing to maintain smoke detectors in his rental home and was released.
In April of 2015, Souliotes filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Modesto, its police and fire departments and individual investigators who worked the case, for deprivations of his constitutional rights related to the criminal investigation that led to his 16-year incarceration. With respect to fire science, Souliotes alleged that specific defendants "fabricated" evidence. Specifically, Souliotes alleged the defendants were aware that the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards in place at the time of the investigation indicated that there was no credible evidence that the fire was the result of arson.
In Souliotes v. City of Modesto, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 144398 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 18, 2016), the court held that it was not enough for the plaintiff to allege that defendants ignored NFPA standards in their investigation. Rather, he was required to show how NFPA standards, if utilized, would have made clear to the defendants that the fire was not the result of arson. The Court held that the facts, as alleged, demonstrated inadequate training, not an intent to deceive.
Due to advances in fire science, many arson convictions are being examined with a few being overturned. These overturned convictions, however, rarely result in the civil liability of fire or police officials. Significantly, as demonstrated in Souliotes, investigators' reliance on now debunked theories to support an arson conviction is not enough to show a violation of a defendant's due process rights.Tags: Eastern District of California, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Souliotes v.

Learning The Secrets About Businesses
A Guide to Injury Lawyers Legal cases arising from different types of injuries can take long, grueling years before a verdict can be reached, which can mean more legal costs and potential loss of work hours during the process. Cases of injuries can be very complex because if its many types that can be very unique in its own depending on the causes and potential circumstances. To address the many complexities that arise in injury lawsuits, governments enforce regulations under some special fields of law to appropriately cover all rights and legal obligations and deliver a standard law system for victims and perpetrators to receive remedies and justifiable punishments without violating their human and civil rights along the process. Law specialists take extra years of special law studies in their chosen special field to prepare for certification tests that will award them with the specific licenses required to be a law specialist, while developing their knowledge and competency in a series of trainings, seminars, and internships to learn from the experienced professionals in the field. Ideally, new lawyers enroll themselves in long internships under independent, expert practitioners or law offices and firms where they can witness and train themselves in a wide range of legal cases relating to the specialty they chose, then engage in small cases for years until they are comfortable and competent enough to handle bigger and more complicated cases. While many cases of injuries or torts are caused by intention, there are more cases that arise from unknown negligence, both of which are not only limited to physical cases of injuries, as other nonphysical cases are also possible such as in the case of psychological and emotional damage, privacy and property violation, and other applicable and similar rights under the law that governs the jurisdiction. These cases may be classed under the three main types of torts which are intentional torts, negligence torts, and strict liability torts.
Getting Creative With Services Advice
Injury attorneys or tort specialists can also function as an auto accident attorney for individuals that are entangled in a civil liability resulting from vehicular accidents, either to represent the victim or the aggressor, and guide them along the long legal process while also making sure that no rights are violated. For the plaintiff or the aggravated party, the injury lawyer will help them establish a legal case of liability and prove that the injury is caused either by an intentional or a negligent conduct by a company or an individual.
Interesting Research on Lawyers – What You Didn't Know
Although most specialty attorneys practice in the field independently, there are also plenty of law offices or firms that employ special case lawyers that clients can hire to handle their legal entanglement. Prior to filing cases, clients just need to determine their legal standing in the situation by consulting with appropriate lawyers first so they can be guided along the process if a lawsuit is in place.

Today's law enforcement professionals face unprecedented challenges as technology rapidly emerges and changes. Offenders are using the latest technology to operate efficiently and cover their tracks, from cybercrimes that compromise personal information and muddy the jurisdictional waters to complex drug operations running within the shadows of their communities. The number of internet-enabled devices such as personal fitness bands or smart appliances—even children's toys—that collect and record many forms of digital information are providing law enforcement with more and more sources of digital evidence. While law enforcement rises to challenge every day, they need the tools and strategies to keep up in an evolving landscape.
The 2017 IACP Technology Conference, sponsored by the IACP Law Enforcement Information Management (LEIM) Section (May 22-24, 2017 in St. Louis, Missouri) is designed to do just that. Featuring 3 plenary sessions, 30 workshops, and an exhibit floor, attendees will be able to hear practitioners and industry experts share best practices and lessons learned in the innovative application of technology to improve officer safety and public safety, enhance efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and build enterprise-wide information sharing capabilities.
Workshops at the conference cover a broad array of law enforcement technology topics, and to aid attendees in selecting which workshops to attend, the Technology Conference educational program is organized into three tracks: Executive, Operational, and Technical. Sessions in the Executive Track include high-level discussions about the policy, operational, and legal considerations an agency should evaluate when implementing or managing a technology program. The Operational Track focuses on the planning, implementation, and management of technology projects. Sessions in the Technical Track discuss the technical side of projects, including data sharing, encryption, hardware, software, and much more.
The theme of this year's conference is "Smart Communities = Safe Communities." Technology is no longer in its own unique silo; it now plays an integral role in day-to-day policing with operational tools like body-worn cameras and CCTVs to digital evidence collection and using community informatics to identify traffic flow trends. The conference theme builds upon the smart cities concept of integrating multiple information and communication solutions to enhance the quality, performance, and interactivity of law enforcement services; reduce costs and resource requirements; and improve contacts between community members and government, regardless of agency or community type.
"Smart Communities = Safe Communities" also reflects the reality that federal, state, county, and municipal governments and law enforcement agencies across the country must work together to connect and share relevant public safety information. As with law enforcement agencies, information technology professionals, whether employed by a law enforcement or government agency, face various challenges depending on location, budgets, and existing infrastructure. In addition to workshops addressing these issues, the conference provides plenty of networking opportunities for attendees to meet with their peers and industry solution providers to learn new techniques, advance their knowledge and careers, and equip their agencies for ongoing success.
Registration for the conference is now open. We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 IACP Technology Conference!

Shinzo Abe's landslide win has paved the way for an amendment to Japan's constitution which would allow its military to prepare for war.
Japan is ready to end 70 years of pacificism and reassert itself as a military force.
The likely amendment to its constitution (Article 9 or the peace clause) comes on the back of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's landslide victory in the snap Japanese elections.
Having attained the super-majority he was after, the PM has now turned his sights on the ongoing threat from Kim Jong-Un and his North Korean regime.
The South China Morning Post reported yesterday that Mr Abe said: "As I promised in the election, my imminent task is to firmly deal with North Korea. For that, strong diplomacy is required."
Japan's Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera has also told his US and South Korean counterparts the threat from North Korea has grown to a "critical and imminent level" and must be addressed.
Mr Abe has long sought to add another provision to clarify the legal status of Japan's Self-Defence Forces (SDF).
In May, Mr Abe was reported to have said: "In our generation we need to establish the constitutional standing of the Self-Defence Forces so that there is no room for debate on whether or not they stand outside the constitution."
While Japan's SDF has been equipped and trained to become one of the world's most advanced military forces, it cannot be deployed to fight in overseas combat.
The PM did however expand the role of the military in 2015 to allow it to protect allies' assets, which was seen in effect when Japan dispatched its biggest warship to escort an American supply vessel in the face of North Korean threats.
North Korea's aggression, which has already resulted in two missiles flying over the Japanese mainland this year, has only reaffirmed the PM's stance.
He needed a two-thirds majority as a platform to make changes to the nation's constitution, and that was confirmed yesterday.

By their nature, custom millwork products are made for your specific building or home. There are times when a "standard" or off-the-shelf product may work just as well as a custom one. In these situations, the use of a "standard" size and design will likely result in a cost savings to you and a satisfactory result. But then, there are other times, when a custom product is the only correct choice. In these instances the size, proportions, installation conditions, or custom design may prevent you from using a "standard" product and achieving the desired result.

In other cases, we may additionally need to speak with the architect, designer, homeowner, or installation contractor. It depends on the complexity of the millwork and the availability of complete information.

When creating a travel programme called 'Explore' on a particular destination, it would seem important to make it spectacular and interesting, and a bit of exploring probably wouldn't go amiss.
When the BBC Explore series launched last Sunday night, I had high hopes for it, but perhaps the title of 'Fleeting Mish Mash of Wonderful Argentine Landscapes Interspersed With Frustratingly Pointless Interviews' was a bit too long.
Argentina has such a fascinating history, and some of it was touched upon, as were some of the incredible landscapes in the ice fields of Patagonia, but why did we spend five precious minutes in the front room of a guy who counts penguins for a living when we could have been hearing about the Welsh settlers in Chubut, or seeing the whales and elephant seals of Peninsula Valdes?
And when in romantic, captivating Buenos Aires, why did we spend 10 minutes with a wacky church minister determined to have Eva Peron recognised as a saint, while using a large expanse of open wasteland as a backdrop as he explained his plans to build her a giant pyramid?
One phone call to Alan Whicker could have told them – it's the destination that's the star.
And why we are at it, why couldn't the three presenters come up with even one word of Spanish between them?
It is at this stage I realise I sound like one of those letters that people used to write in to Points Of View in the 1980s to be read out by Barry Took which is slightly alarming, but it has to be said – what a muddle of a programme, and how wildly frustrating for people to tune in for a gourmet Argentine feast – an asado for the senses – to be handed a half chewed piece of leathery stewing steak to make do with instead. It could have been so much better.
If, after all this, you would like to watch it, you can view it on the BBC iplayer for the next few weeks – just fast forward through half of the interviews.
If you want to get to know the real Argentina, book our Gauchos and Glaciers tour here , or for more information call Steve Murray direct on 01606 720046, and you can also read feedback on our December 2008 tour published in a previous blog 'Back From the Argentine' on January 7th .
While we are at it, here is Alan Whicker from back in the day when travel shows really were travel shows. Half way through the clip he is actually at Iguazu Falls, which you can include on our tour if you like.
For a bit of nostalgia, here is the late Barry Took doing his stuff back in 1985.

Dennis Latimore took over as head coach of the Chino Hills High School basketball team in May, and has already had a few clashes with Ball and his son, who has made a name for himself with his Stephen Curry-esque shooting ability.
Will he then get housed when he plays real games?
LaVar will now homeschool LaMelo for his remaining two years of high school.
LaVar's latest decision, to lift LaMelo from the high school where he has starred, is shocking in that it's rare and counter-intuitive but also predictable in that LaVar's chief goal for his sons seems to be National Basketball Association stardom, and you don't need to know trigonometry or European history to make an All-Star Game.
LaVar Ball told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that he is pulling his youngest son, LaMelo, out of Chino Hills High School and plans to home school the 16-year-old. Instead, the Big Baller Brand head honcho will be working with his son on his own, in order to make him "the best basketball player ever".More news: Governor urges Congressional reauthorization of Children's Health Insurance Program
More news: 22 dead, almost 40 injured in Mumbai bridge stampede
More news: Marseille train station attack: Knife-wielding man reportedly shot dead after stabbing
"It's good for Melo", LaVar said. It seems like anybody whose training over here that coach don't want him in the team. LaVar says that his son, who is committed to UCLA, still intends to play for the Bruins in two years.
Of course, LaVar didn't need to pull LaMelo entirely out of school just to get him away from a coach he didn't like. "I didn't foresee this happening", Baik said.
A proud basketball dad, Ball was accused of undermining former Chino Hills coach Stephan Gilling, who was let go this past April, by "entering the locker room and offering instructions from the stands that contradicted what he had coached the team to do".
After the game, LaVar confronted the coach, demanding an explanation for his tactics.
"I'm not dealing with the coach over there", the elder Ball told ESPN.
