The naked selfie is here to stay! Kim Kardashian won the first ever Break the Internet Award at the annual Webby Awards on Monday, May 16, and promised the world there are many more nude selfies in her future.
The star, who was rewarded for her "bold and creative" ways of using social media, spent the day of the event figuring out what her acceptance speech should be.
Limited to just five words, Kardashian FaceTimed with Ellen DeGeneres to discuss her dilemma, in a segment that will air Tuesday, May 16 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"I've been texting all my funny friends like Chrissy Teigen, everyone I think is so funny, asking what my speech should be. Any ideas?" Kardashian, 35, asked comedienne DeGeneres.
"Um … " the show host pondered, "I thank Ellen Lee DeGeneres?"
Thinking again, the 58-year-old TV star had another suggestion: "You should say, 'You're welcome for naked selfies.'"
Turned out Kardashian's actual speech wasn't far from that. As she took the stage at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City to accept her award, the reality TV star and mom of two promised fans she still had way more internet love to give.
"Nude selfies until I die," she said, in five perfect words.
Watch DeGeneres and Kardashian figure out her speech in the video above.

On Monday evening, California Governor Jerry Brown said all Mexicans, including illegal immigrants, are welcome in California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, while introducing Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who said America is "the other Mexico," Brown "spoke about the interwoven histories of Mexico and California." He "nodded to the immigrants in the room, saying it didn't matter if they had permission to be in the United States."

A new national survey conducted by the Associated Press suggests that illegal immigration and the border crisis could be morphing into major political liabilities for Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. Key take-aways:
(1) President Obama's approval/disapproval rating on the issue (considered "extremely" or "very" serious by 67 percent of voters) is underwater by…37 points:
(2) Republicans are now more trusted on handling immigration policy, a 10-point swing since mid-May:

Number of illegals that enter Texas each week is greater than the number of babies being born to citizens
Did you know that the number of illegal immigrants that enter Texas each week is greater than the number of babies being born to citizens of that state? The mainstream media is shining the spotlight very brightly on all of the children that are coming over, and there is a reason for that.
They are trying to tug on our heartstrings. But there is another part of the story that you aren't hearing much about. By refusing to protect our borders, Barack Obama has allowed hundreds of thousands of gang members to illegally enter the United States and settle in our major cities. In many communities, gang activity is already wildly out of control, and someday our cities will burn because of the foolishness of the federal government.

A prominent Democrat on the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security seems to have two different interpretations of the situation at the southern U.S. border where tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America have been apprehended.
"I disagree it is in devastating condition," Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said of what some are calling a "border crisis" in an interview Thursday with MSNBC.
"I think with now 21,000 border patrol agents is under control." But her statement seems to contradict the one currently on Jackson Lee's congressional website.

President Obama was absolutely swamped the other night, staving off the munchies at a pizza party in the Mile High city, hobnobbing as headliner at numerous Democrat shindigs, collecting big bucks from big donors all day.
Whew. Exhausting. Especially exhausting must be trying to change pace and pivot through the fundraising parties, knowing they're thrown by those much maligned "fat cats" (Obama's words, not mine).

POSTED: July 09, 2014
By: Gus DeSoto
Monday, my wife and I decided to go to a 'Meet and Greet' in downtown Prescott. We were very surprised to find a very well qualified and humble candidate in Christine Jones. Ms. Jones has roots in Arizona having helped establish GoDaddy as one of the largest internet service providers for business in the world. We found that she has an extremely good understanding of technology, one of the keys to the success of her campaign, so far.
Christine Jones is just what Arizona needs now to help us continue some of the work Gov. Jan Brewer has begun. While she is married to a military man, she has a solid understanding of business and law with regard to the issues facing Arizona. Jones is an accomplished CPA and Attorney, but moreover, she knows people of our state. She connects with people. She is well versed in the current problems we are facing, especially border security.
Christine Jones does not seem to be the "establishment" type as she has never held public office, but establishment candidates have really pounced on her with ads that are without reason, truth or cause. We feel Christine is a solid candidate to serve the people of Arizona and are hereby endorsing her as a candidate. She will help us tackle the problems we are facing during a very unstable period in our nation.

By: John Hayward
A battle line within the GOP is drawn a bit more sharply, as Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), a member of the "Gang of Eight" immigration reform group, declared on Facebook that he agreed with former Florida governor and possible presidential contender Jeb Bush's description of illegally crossing the United States border as an "act of love":
A few weeks ago, Jeb Bush made a statement that has garnered a great deal of attention. He noted that for some illegal immigrants, crossing the border could be considered an "act of love" because it was motivated by a desire to feed and care for their families.
I've been asked what I think of this statement. Truth is, I agree with Jeb, and I applaud him for having the guts to say it. Growing up here in Arizona, I've seen what motivates those who come here illegally. Sure, some come with the intent to do harm or simply to take advantage of our generosity. But many come to find work to feed their families. To lump everyone who crosses the border illegally into the same class is unfair and unproductive.

Hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal records were released earlier this year as the Obama administration prepared for budget cuts, according to newly released data that challenged claims the program involved "low-risk" individuals.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement released the figures to two top senators, after a three-month delay and under the threat of congressional subpoenas.
Of the 2,226 detainees that were released in February, the department revealed, "622 have been identified as having some type of criminal conviction."
A statement from Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., who received the stats, said 32 of them had multiple felony convictions. The department then "re-apprehended" 24 of those, the senators said, after realizing the "seriousness" of their crimes.
McCain called for those responsible to be punished.

absorbing bill for millions $, acute care hospitals, hundreds of illegals as patients, illegal immigrants, LaRay Brown, living as 'Permanent Patients', NYC hospitals, public hospitals, sr. vp citiy Health and Hospitals Corporation, U. S. hospitals, unreimbursed expenses
January 6, 2012
Hundreds of patients have been languishing for months or even years in New York City hospitals, despite being well enough to be sent home or to nursing centers for less-expensive care, because they are illegal immigrants or lack sufficient insurance or appropriate housing.
As a result, hospitals are absorbing the bill for millions of dollars in unreimbursed expenses annually while the patients, trapped in bureaucratic limbo, are sometimes deprived of services that could be provided elsewhere at a small fraction of the cost.
"Many of those individuals no longer need that care, but because they have no resources and many have no family here, we, unfortunately, are caring for them in a much more expensive setting than necessary based on their clinical need," said LaRay Brown, a senior vice president for the city's Health and Hospitals Corporation. Under state law, public hospitals are not allowed to discharge patients to shelters or to the street.
Medicaid often pays for emergency care for illegal immigrants, but not for continuing care, and many hospitals in places with large concentrations of illegal immigrants, like Texas, California and Florida, face the quandary of where to send patients well enough to leave. Officials in New York City say they have many such patients who are draining money from the health system as the cost of keeping people in acute-care hospitals continues to escalate.
But even if Medicaid pays for some care, taxpayer dollars are ultimately being consumed by patients who could be cared for in nursing homes or other health facilities, and even at home if supportive services were available. Care for a patient languishing in a hospital can cost more than $100,000 a year, while care in a nursing home can cost $20,000 or less.
Patients fit to be discharged from hospitals but having no place to go typically remain more than five years, Ms. Brown said. She estimated that there were about 300 patients in such a predicament throughout the city, most in public hospitals or higher-priced skilled public nursing homes, though a smattering were in private hospitals.

Gram Vikas executive director Joe Madiath (left) before starting the presentation of their organisation to Arghyam
Today I attended a very inspiring presentation from Gram Vikas, which is an NGO that operates in Orissa, India. Gram Vikas has won multiple national and international awards for their work and it is impossible to hear Mr. Madiath talk about his work without being impressed an humbled.
It is hard to really summarise the work Gram Vikas does in a couple of paragraphs, but Vishwanath and Praveena captured it well in their twitter streams today.
Here are some sample achievements:
- 54,000 biogas plants constructed between 1983-1993 by Gram Vikas in Orissa
- Wasteland in the tribal villages where Gram Vikas works is convereted to forests
- Water and sanitation is used as a vehicle to close the sustainability in tribal villages of Orissa
- Gram Vikas has trained 4000 rural youth in masonry, plumbing, who are converted from unskilled labourers to skilled, and more than double their income
- Over 90% immunisation of children , 90% enrollment in school, girl children over 80% attendance
- 100 % coverage of all households, 24 hours running water, sanitatin all homes is their model in Orissa. People are ready to pay for watsan
- Toilets and bathrooms built for 44697 households in 701 villages together with the villagers
- Piped water supply in 320 villages, they are working on it in the other 350+ villages
With some luck I will be able to go visit some of their project villages in Orissa next month together with some staff from Arghyam. I am looking forward to it.

So I have a bit of a quandry. My wife keeps taking my Sound Core Boost while she takes showers and gets ready in the bathroom. Do you all make a waterproof speaker that will stick to the shower wall? I've seen some with other brands, but I don't want to buy an off brand, nor do I want to buy a Bose, or overpriced Sony one. Do you all make one of these that will stick to a bathroom shower wall or mirror?
None of the Anker water proof or resistant speakers have a mount option (though it would be a good extra part to have, design wise)...the best you could do is try to find a third party mount / grip or basket shelf...like the following..
I bet if they do include a USB-C to lightning cable it will be short and no where near the quality as Anker cables. Not that Apple will allow anyone to manufacture a usb-c to lightning cable until they have sucked any potential profit out of the market and switch to a new cable to make their shareholders some extra cash.
I wish Anker would make a pair of headphones as Anker already makes earbuds.
Create more products that support Google Assistant and/or Amazon Alexa. My preference is Google Assistant.
New products like Bluetooth speakers are ok, but much more compelling if they support Chromecast and Google Assistant.
They have recently released two models, the Space NC and Vortex
Obviously a big fan and reads the threads
Everywhere I go I have to carry a charger for my iPhone and iPad Pro and one for my ThinkPad. But from iPhone 8 usb-c charging is supported. The same goes for the iPad Pro. And newer ThinkPads also use sub-c!
So if I could have a small travel charger with either two usb-c ports, or one usb-c and one traditional USB port (maybe best configuration for compatibility) then I would only have to carry one charger. Instant hit!
PS: Goes without saying that that one of the usb-c ports need to deliver 60-65 watts to charge the ThinkPad, not just 30...
PPS: The wirecutter website recently tested usb c chargers for powering laptops, and there was not a single Anker product there as they don't deliver sufficient watts. Clearly a void in the product range?
Wall outlets!
I saw some online, but I don't trust the brands - there are some with no brand at all. It would be really handy to have a few of those on the house:
Or even convert every power outlet to an hybrid like this:
I would outfit my entire home with those if Anker produced them!
I know what's probably keeping them, though, at least for the hybrid option: there are so many plug types! I imagine it would be a production and logistical nightmare if they shot for having every plug available, or they would make quite some people unhappy if they didn't offered the plugs available on particular countries. Still, one has to dream, right?
On these I would want type C for sure so they don't have to be replaced in a couple years.
Do you know Zolo halo? it's a Smart Speaker with Alexa and Powerful Sound.
If this product has broken, is it difficult to disassemble it?
I know the basic installation of the outlets are easy enough - I mean, if I can do it... - but I wouldn't know about disassembling, nor would I try to if I wanted to fix it.
So, I don't know if this is what you intended to ask: almost everyone would be able to install the outlets in their homes quite easily. Those who wouldn't certainly know someone who would. If Anker had such a product, I would definitely buy it, and I know some people who would too.
I wish Soundcore offered smart speakers like Halo and Mojo that can be wireless on battery life.
The upcoming model Zereo will have google assistant
I'm easy. Just package several different types of cables into a bundle deal and I'm sold.
Bluelounge sells these desk organizations things for your gadgets . I think it would be nice to have some kind of cable organizer as we all have plenty of cables
I have had the Halo for testing.Wrote a review at AMAZON.de.I can not confirm that "powerful sound" you are mentioning.But may be my old poor ears are not able to recognize this.ANKER offers really better speakers regarding the sound.
i think the sound on the halo is much better than the echo dot but not "powerful"

Spanish bishop apologizes for Hindu ritual in Catholic church
August 29, 2017
Bishop Rafael Zorzona Boy of Cadiz y Ceuta has issued an apology to local Catholics for an incident in which a Hindu procession honoring the god Ganesh was welcomed into a Catholic church.
The procession took place in Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the northern coast of Africa near Gibraltar. Local Hindus entered the church of Our Lady of Africa, carrying an elephant-shaped image of Ganesh, and were greeted by the vicar general of the diocese, Father Juan José Mateos Castro.
The bishop remarked that the event was "regrettable," because although it was proper to show friendship for Hindu neighbors, the decision to allow a Hindu god to be honored in a Catholic church could cause "pain, confusion, or scandal in the Christian community."

While everyone appreciates an apology when they have been offended it seems to me that the principle One offended in this incident is God. Am I wrong minded? What an offense against the One True God! Perhaps it is not in sink with modern thought to think about our loving Lord being offended but I believe it is deeply offensive to God to have a pagan god (devils) honored in His temple.

They were very vibrant and excited about our visitation, it was indeed an emotional moment for me, indescribable with words on how touching it was seeing the children's emotions and smiles. They were pure.
I am very touched by the children's enthusiasm although they have to walk miles to school (averagely 2 KM – up and down the hill because this school is located in the base of Mount Salak. Hint hint the mountain we can see in every Aqua bottle); it shows how excited they are when we teach them, play with them and ask them to participate. They love school, they fight with their friends but they care for each other.
The kids are also quite discipline, with an exception of a few brave ones. They will follow whatever the elders have told them and will listen diligently.
Wait till they sing Indonesia Raya on top of their lungs, I literally shed tears of happiness and sadness with the back drop of a broken window and torn maps. Which is actually in a better condition than some more rugged ones in the outskirts.
Little do they know that their education may stop at 6th grade, few lucky ones (about 60%) will go to Middle School and some privileged ones (about 20%) will have their high school diploma, according to the teachers.
Even though middle school is free, High School cost Rp 90,000 – Rp 120,000 (USD 9 – 12) / month, which some of us spend for one dinner and some of them can't afford to lose.
What I notice is, some kids wear washed and torn shoes; yellowish uniforms, but bright smile all the way.
A few parents have told me that they have limited economic capabilities. Imagine one family usually has 4 – 7 children! Why? Because some can't afford contraception which cost Rp 20,000 – USD 2 / month.
Good thing is there are free birth cares from the government in the nearest Puskesmas (clinic) as well as free vaccinations and healthcare control.
So their parents or even at times its on their own will chose to work. There are 3 garment factories in the area (mostly foreign owned), they usually end up there with minimum wage (Rp 1,6 million – USD 160) or even less for the clothes we wear. Same goes to the family's breadwinner (the father – or even single mothers).
Many hopes come for the government's School Operational Support (BOS) program in 2014, which gives them the opportunity to study in High School for free. Also from private supports, that several people shared with (I believe in Public Private Partnership PPP). Tid bits of supports here and there will help.
This is of course are the hopes of the dedicated teachers (only three are considered PNS and the rest are on honorary basis). Some parents have yet to know about this however some kids have eventually took Paket C (a program for mature students/drop outs to attain high school diploma) hoping for a better future.
I am honestly inspired by a teacher who grew up there, left to study in college and return to his village to spread hopes.
Perhaps one day these kids can eventually fulfill their dreams of being doctors, scientist, teachers, even soccer players like Irfan Bachdim and Badminton player like Taufik Hidayat, so they say or whatever they like. Then imagine the impact it will give to the living condition of about 300 million people and beyond.
I would like to personally congratulate Backpacker Indonesia Jabodetabek for the awesome 1st Anniversary celebration with social cause.
They have successfully attain donations and gave school bags, books, writing tools and hats to every single children. Not to mention clothing, school supplies, foods and more for the school. Awesome theatrical performance, games with the children, bring happiness every soul.
Traveling becomes much more meaningful as we share joy with others 🙂
Much love from Indonesia.
Salam Odyssey.

High childhood BMI raises risk for Crohn's disease in adulthood
Higher body mass index (BMI) in childhood appears to be significantly associated with Crohn's disease (CD) before 30 years of age, a recent study has shown.
Over 10 million person-years of follow-up, CD was diagnosed in 1,500 individuals, of whom 634 were male and 866 were female. Incidence rate by age showed two peaks: one at 20–30 years (2.2 cases per 10,000 person-years) and the other at 65–75 years (2.9 cases per 10,000 person-years).
Using BMI z-scores from 7–13 years of age, researchers showed that each unit increase was associated with a significant increase in the risk of being diagnosed with CD before the age of 30 years. The same effect was absent for CD diagnosis after 30 years of age.
On the other hand, ulcerative colitis (UC) had a significant but inverse correlation with BMI z-scores from ages 7–13 years. UC was diagnosed in 2,732 participants and similarly showed two incidence peaks according to age: at 20–30 years (2.8 cases per 10,000 person-years) and at 65–75 years (6.0 cases per 10,000 person-years).
Subsequent analysis stratified according to BMI categories showed that the risk was most apparent for obese children and only at specific ages. For instance, only obese children at age 11 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.31; 95 percent CI, 1.04–1.66; p=0.02), 12 (HR, 1.40; 1.12–1.77; p=0.01) and 13 (HR, 1.40; 1.12–1.76; p=0.002) years were at significantly elevated risks of CD development relative to normal weight children. The interaction with age of CD diagnosis was attenuated in this analysis.
Linking the Danish National Patient Register with the Copenhagen School Health Records Register, researchers identified 316,799 children, of whom 4,232 were diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Cox regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between childhood BMI with IBD risk.

By Mark Engstrom, J.D.
In a priority fight over the trademark BUG OFF, a federal district court abused its discretion by considering S.C. Johnson's post-trial argument that Nutraceutical failed to prove continuous use of the BUG OFF mark after 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago has ruled. Because S.C. Johnson was estopped from relying on that argument, the district court's infringement finding and permanent injunction against Nutraceutical could not be salvaged. The circuit court thus reversed the judgment of the district court and directed it to vacate the injunction against Nutraceutical (S.C Johnson & Son, Inc. v. Nutraceutical Corp., August 25, 2016, Wood, D.).
In its appeal, Nutraceutical accused S.C. Johnson of executing a "bait-and-switch maneuver," and the Seventh Circuit agreed. First, S.C. Johnson had admitted, in numerous pretrial filings, that Nutraceutical and company called Sunfeather—Nutraceutical's predecessor-in-interest—had continuously used the BUG OFF mark for insect repellents from at least June 1998 through the present. Later, when S.C. Johnson sought summary judgment, it stated as an undisputed fact that Nutraceutical had "continued selling … Bug Off insect repellants." Finally, S.C. Johnson argued for the first time in a post-trial filing that Nutraceutical had failed to prove that its use of the BUG OFF mark was continuous from 2012 to the present.
Although S.C. Johnson mentioned continuity of use in its pretrial report, it did so only for a period that was identified as "prior to June of 1998." Nowhere did it mention continuous use after 2012. Similarly, S.C. Johnson challenged Nutraceutical's continuity—in general—during its opening statement at trial, but at no point did it challenge Nutraceutical's use of the BUG OFF mark after 2012.
Estoppel. The court noted that S.C. Johnson's post-trial briefing asserted for the first time that: (1) no testimonial evidence supported continuous use (a false statement, according to the court) and (2) Nutraceutical had submitted documentary evidence of sales "only for 2011 and 2012, not for 2013 and 2014." Because S.C. Johnson could not raise those assertions for the first time after trial, the district court abused its discretion in accepting them, and thus erred by relying on them to grant judgment in favor of S.C. Johnson, the Seventh Circuit ruled.
S.C. Johnson argued that Nutraceutical was "on notice" of its obligation to prove continuity between 2012 and the present because S.C. Johnson had challenged continuity of use generally, and because Nutraceutical had mentioned recent sales in its opening argument. S.C. Johnson further argued that a challenge to post-2012 continuity was "subsumed in and implicit in the issues" in its pretrial report.
The Seventh Circuit disagreed. S.C. Johnson did not mention the post-2012 period in its issues for trial, the court explained, and the company expressly stated that the trial issues would be limited to the period that preceded 1998.
Because issues for trial were ordinarily limited to issues that were disputed at summary judgment, and because the issue of post-2012 continuity was not disputed at summary judgment, any reasonable litigant would have assumed that proof of post-2012 continuity would not be required at trial, the court reasoned. Significantly, S.C. Johnson had specifically argued at summary judgment that Nutraceutical's post-2012 facts were immaterial, and by that time, the company had already admitted the very facts that it would dispute for the first time post-trial—after the presentation of evidence had concluded—when Nutraceutical had no chance to respond.
Ultimately, S.C. Johnson raised its argument about post- 2012 continuity too late. Whether the court used the theory of waiver or estoppel was inconsequential; in either case, Nutraceutical was entitled to rely on S.C. Johnson's factual admissions. Consequently, the district court abused its discretion when it allowed S.C. Johnson to argue that Nutraceutical did not prove continuous use after 2012.
Merits. Even if S.C. Johnson's post-trial arguments were not estopped, the result would be the same: the Seventh Circuit would conclude that the district court had committed reversible error in finding that Nutraceutical did not prove continuous use after 2012.
Significantly, the district court had relied exclusively on Nutraceutical's lack of sales records to prove sales after 2012, but evidence of actual sales was not necessary to establish ownership. In any event, the record did contain evidence of sales after 2012. Further, Nutraceutical did not have to show either a high volume of sales or widespread recognition of the mark, as S.C. Johnson had argued on appeal.
According to the court, S.C. Johnson's admission that Sunfeather's BUG OFF products were sold at retail shops around the country, in conjunction with evidence that the trademarked goods were provided through Sunfeather's website, was sufficient. Although the website was a passive site, it was available nationwide.
For those reasons, the district court's ruling that Nutraceutical failed to prove continuous use after 2012 was clearly erroneous, even if S.C. Johnson's post-trial arguments were not barred by waiver or estoppel.
The case is No. 15-3337.

Master Of Professional Studies In Interior Lighting Design
In order to provde the absolute best help we have to know which automotive you have got, since functionalities, services and features may differ between models. Cold white LEDs produce a blueish white gentle, best for safety options, while heat white LEDs are used for subdued lighting. Older properties which used to be dingy and unwelcoming immediately change into vibrant with strategically placed monitor lighting. It makes rather more sense to go for low voltage interior lighting in place of the high voltage options. The lighting within the cargo area is switched on and off respectively when the tailgate is opened or closed.
Most new rental units have provisions for basic track lighting fixtures and could be simply moved from one place to another with easy re-wiring. However, Godwin warns OEMs to make effectively-reasoned choices over how they apply lighting to the inside. From now on, our HDR bitmap shall be used both as the background for our scene and to generate lighting.
A number of manufacturers specialize in LEDs for automotive interior lighting purposes, and Digi-Key has gadgets in stock obtainable from many of these. If you wish to make your own home inside lighting just a little more focused, one factor to consider is process lighting. If you will have visited car shows, exhibition pavilions, you will notice this sort of lighting extensively used.
For instance, an increasingly common software of cascading gentle initiatives stars" onto the vehicle's inside roof to create an evening sky. Hope you want this little tutorial the place we deal with rendering with the corona engine in 3DS MAX. The lighting for the vanity mirror is switched on and off respectively when the duvet is opened or closed. Integrate LEDambient lighting into the door panel, the center console, the footwell or the roof liner. The overall impact must even be considered, such because the glare and reflection of colored lights on inside surfaces, especially when driving at night time.
These low voltage exterior lights typically are available in an assembled pack containing varied lights, a transformer and a cable. Of course, no survey of lighting inside design would be full with out a mention of pure mild. This is as a result of we have accepted the default LightUp lighting resolution which is very conservative, so we are able to enhance that by enhancing the Resolution and altering it to a absolute distance.Tags: design, interior, lighting, master, professional, studies

- Fresh asparagus
- Vegetable Oil
- Lemon Juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Russet Potato (cleaned and scrubbed)
Clean your asparagus. Next, rub vegetable oil evenly on the asparagus. Then sprinkle salt and lemon juice onto the asparagus. Lastly, you can sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top. Then put on a non-stick pan. Set the oven on 425 Fahrenheit and then allow the asparagus to roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Then serve.
Clean your potatoes, scrub the outside gently to clean off any dirt and debris. Next cut the potato into various slices. Cover each potato slice with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. I've also heard you can add rosemary to the potatoes but I haven't tried that yet. Next add the slices to a non stick pan. Turn the oven on 450. Once the oven is warm, put the potatoes in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then serve.

U.N. Doc. CCPR/C/78/D/856/1999
Communication No. 856/1999
15 July 2003
human rights committee
|78th Session
|14 July – 8 August 2003
Alex Soteli Chambala
|Return Home
1. The author of the communication is Alex
Soteli Chambala, a Zambian citizen, born in 1948. He claims to be a victim
of a violation by Zambia [FN1] of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights (the Covenant) article 9, paragraphs 3 and 5. He is not
represented by counsel.
[FN1] The Covenant and the Optional Protocol to the Covenant entered into force for the State party on 10 July 1984.
The facts as presented by the author
2.1 The author was arrested and detained without charge on 7 February 1987. He was served with a Police Detention Order [FN2] pursuant to Regulation 33(6) of the Preservation of Public Security Act on 12 February 1987. On 24 February 1987 the Police Detention Order was revoked, but on the same day he was served with a Presidential Detention Order pursuant to Regulation 33 (1) of the Preservation of Public Security Act. The grounds of the detention were served on the author on 5 March 1987; they state that he was being detained for a) receiving and keeping an escaped prisoner, Henry Kalenga, at his house, b) whom the author knew was detained for offences under the Preservation of Public Security Act, c) that he assisted Mr. Kalenga in his attempt to flee to a country hostile to Zambia, and d) that he never reported the presence of Mr. Kalenga to the Security Forces.
[FN2] The Police Detention Order dated 12 February 1987 states that the author should be detained for a period not exceeding 28 days pending a decision whether a Detention Order should be made against him.
2.2 After detention for over one year without any production before a court or a judicial officer, the author applied for release. On 22 September 1988, the High Court of Zambia decided that there were no reasons to keep him in detention. Nevertheless, the author was not released until December 1988, when the President revoked his detention. According to the author, the maximum prison sentence for the offence he was charged with was 6 months.
2.3 The author argues that under Zambian law a person cannot seek compensation for unlawful detention. Furthermore, when he inquired with lawyers about the possibilities to submit a claim, he was told that his case was statute barred under Zambian laws. Thus, no domestic remedies are said to be available. Nevertheless, when the author learned that Peter Chico Bwalya and Henry Kalenga had received compensation after the adoption of decisions by the Human Rights Committee [FN3], he wrote to the Attorney-General's Office seeking compensation. Although the letters were registered at the Attorney General's Office, he received no reply.
[FN3] See Bwalya v. Zambia, Case No. 314/1988, Views adopted on 14 July 1993, and Kalenga v. Zambia, Case No. 326/1988, Views adopted on 27 July 1993.
3.1 The author claims that the State party, by detaining him arbitrarily for almost two years, without bringing him before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power, has violated his rights under article 9, paragraphs 3 and 5 of the Covenant. These events may also raise further issues under article 9 of the Covenant.
4. By Note verbale of 26 March 2001, the State party conceded the events described in the communication, and indicated that it would be contacting the complainant with a view to compensating him for the period of detention at issue.
5.1. In his letters of 20 June and 9 November 2001, and again on 30 January 2002, the author advised the Committee that he had not yet received compensation from the State party. In the last letter, he wrote that he had reminded the Attorney General's Office, which is responsible for the payment, on 9 November 2001.
5.2. By note verbale of 7 March 2002, the Secretariat reminded the State party to fulfil its promise to compensate the author without further delay and requested the State party to inform it of the measures taken. No response was received from the State party.
6.1 Before considering any claims contained in a communication, the Human Rights Committee must, in accordance with rule 87 of its rules of procedure, decide whether or not it is admissible under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant.
6.2 The Committee has ascertained that the same matter is not being examined under another procedure of international investigation or settlement for the purposes of article 5, paragraph 2(a), of the Optional Protocol.
6.3 The Committee notes with concern that although the State party has conceded the truth of the facts alleged in the communication and has undertaken to compensate the author for the period of detention at issue, and in spite of a reminder from the Secretariat to this effect, the State party has failed to fulfil its undertaking.
6.4 The Committee notes that the State party has not contested the admissibility of the communication. On the basis of the information before it, the Committee therefore concludes that the author has met the requirements under article 5, paragraph 2 (b), of the Optional Protocol, and that there are no other obstacles for his claims to be admissible in respect of possible violations of article 9.
7.1 The Committee has considered the communication in the light of all the information provided by the parties. It notes with concern the lack of information from the State party, and recalls that it is implicit in article 4, paragraph 2, of the Optional Protocol that a State party examine in good faith all the allegations brought against it, and that it provide the Committee with all the information at its disposal. The State party has not forwarded any pertinent information to the Committee other than its note of 26 March 2001. In the circumstances, due weight must be given to the author's allegations, to the extent that they have been substantiated.
7.2 With regard to the author's allegation that he was subjected to arbitrary detention, the Committee has noted that the author was detained for a period of 22 months, dating from 7 February 1987, a claim that has not been contested by the State party. Moreover, the State party has not sought to justify this lengthy detention before the Committee. Therefore, the detention was, in the Committee's view, arbitrary and constituted a violation of article 9, paragraph 1, read together with article 2, paragraph 3.
7.3 The Committee further notes that the author's detention for the further two months following the High Court's determination that there were no grounds to hold him in detention was, in addition to being arbitrary in terms of article 9, paragraph 1, also contrary to Zambian domestic law, thus giving rise to a violation of the right to compensation under article 9, paragraph 5.
8. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the facts before it, disclose violations of article 9, paragraph 1, read together with article 2, paragraph 3, and of article 9, paragraph 5, of the Covenant.
9. In accordance with article 2, paragraph 3 (a), of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to provide the author with an effective remedy. In view of the fact that the State party has committed itself to pay compensation, the Committee urges the State party to grant as soon as possible compensation to the author for the period that he was arbitrarily detained from 7 February 1987 to December 1988. The State party is under an obligation to ensure that similar violations do not occur in the future.
10. By becoming a State party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether there has been a violation of the Covenant or not. Pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory or subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy in cases in which a violation of the Covenant has been found by the Committee. The Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 90 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee's Views. The State party is also requested to publish the Committee's Views.
[Adopted in English, French and Spanish, the English text being the original version. Subsequently to be issued in Arabic, Chinese and Russian as part of the Committee's annual report to the General Assembly.]

Read an interesting article that explains why Nokia is failing to beat their competitors (including Apple) and how Nokia are loosing their market share. What I found particularly interesting is the summary of how mobile device market has evolved into mobile ecosystem market, where the mobile device is just one component of the ecosystem.
The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren't taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we're going to have to decide how we either build, catalyse or join an ecosystem.
by Nokia CEO Stephen Elop – open letter to employees sent in February 2011
Thanks for sharing the letter, @twenycent

I saw these, they were funny, I thought I'd share! First up, Captain America: Civil War Rap Recap!
Fair warning—SPOILERS! (Like, duh.)
The Cap one's really good. Almost as good is this one on Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
Last, and weakest of the three, is not a Rap Recap at all, but a Recap Song, covering the original, uh, ONLY Star Wars trilogy.
And that's your Daily Dose of Amusement! CHEERS!

Beypore port is one of the oldest ports in Kerala from where trading was done with countries in the Middle East, China and Europe. It is the second largest port in Kerala after Kochi. Beypore Beach is 13 km (35 min) from Mavoor Road in Kozhikode.
River Chaliyar empties into the Arabian Sea at Beypore. The southern side of the estuary is Chaliyam and the northern side is Beypore. There are two breakwaters (pulimuttu) constructed at the estuary for safe navigation of ships to Beypore port. The breakwaters stamp out the formation of sand banks at the river mouth.
The striking feature of the Pulimuttu is cleanliness. Regrettably, most of the lamps on the walkway have been vandalised. So there is no illumination at night. If the weather is good, you can view some spectacular sunsets.
At Beypore, the Pulimuttu is 860 metre long and stretches into the sea. It was built in 1992. In the evenings and early mornings, you can watch bottlenose dolphins cavorting in the sea. Beypore light house, fishing harbour and shipbuilding yard are some of the other attractions here.
A visit to the shipbuilding yard in Beypore is fascinating. One can see the master craftsmen build huge dhows (urus) without the aid of any modern equipment. The dhows are made of teak and other durable woods. The teak is brought down from Nilambur along River Chaliyar. A modern dhow with luxury amenities can cost upwards of Rs 4 crores.
Visitors can go up the lighthouse after paying an entry fee of Rs 10 per person. From the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking.
The beach itself is littered with garbage. Thee are a few stalls selling snacks and refreshments. Paid parking is available. It is not recommended to linger on the beach after sunset.

- Both the Diamond and Gold masks come in biocellulose sheets, which proves very potent because it allows for a deep penetration of the active ingredients into the skin. My skin instantly felt super smooth and glowing, and my fine lines are clearly less noticeable. No wonder why Celebrities and make-up artists are fan of these masks.

The illuminating serum
Products tried and tested:
At first, when you apply those products, you feel like a light tingling sensation but this feeling disappears very quickly. The products are very rehydrating and the anti-aging effect is visible. I have sensitive skin and these products decrease redness.
: The serum combined with the cream, really brighten and improve the texture of the skin: it is perfectly suitable for sensitive skins. I also love this cream as it is for day and night.
: As the eye cream is rich, I try to avoid applying it close to the inner eye area. The price range is between $50-$80, but the quality justifies the price.

Star product:
Aromatic Herbs Nourishing Body Butter
Products tried and tested:
It smells like home (Provence).
- I did not know what will be exactly the scent of "Aromatic herbs" until I tried their products and it reminds me all my summer vacations in Provence. I am totally addicted to this fragrance. The body butter is deeply nourishing, so nice to apply and the texture is not greasy.
- I love the Lavender pillow mist. Lavender is one of my favorite scents, I always have lavender bags in my closet and drawers. Lavender is perfect to relax and enhance the sleeps. The mist is very lightweight and this is exactly what you need before going to bed.
: I am obsessed with the products I tried. I truly love the scents of these products. I like the fact that the brand is 100% paraben free, which is not the case of other renown made in Provence brands.
: The packaging could be more stylish (but it really looks like traditional products)

100% Pure is a Californian brand, based in Silicon Valley. 100% Pure is completely free of all harmful toxins,100% natural (free of artificial colors, fragrances and chemical preservatives). 100% PURE provides not only make-up products but have an extensive range of skin, body and hair care items.
Star products:
Coffee bean eyecream, bb cream and semi-matte lipsticks.
Products tried and tested:
- Maracuja Mascara: Black Tea
- 2nd Skin Concealer: Cream – Olive Squalane + Fruit Pigments
- 2nd Skin Foundation: White Peach – Olive Squalane + Fruit Pigments
- Cocoa Butter Semi-Matte Lipstick: Currant and Marrakesh shades
It is natural make-up but it is real make-up. The true difference of 100% Pure compared to natural cosmetics or other cosmetics brands are the pigments. They last so long and are vibrant.
- I am obsessed with these semi-matte lipsticks. Currently this is the only brand I use for lipsticks.
- I love the concealer because you can easily reapply it during the day. It really makes the difference for brightening the area around the eyes and nose. It should be noted that the texture is light so it will not be very efficient if someone uses it as a corrector.
- The mascara amplifies lashes and the black shade is very intense. The result is beautiful and natural.
- The foundation is true to its name: it is a second skin. The finish is natural but you look way better with it than without it. The first time I used it, all my entourage complimented me on my healthy skin. The foundation's texture is very liquid, so I apply it with a wet blender make-up sponge and I wait some seconds before applying the concealer.
: Speaking of natural make-up, the most important product we need to have is a natural lipstick. Indeed, because you can eat it and transfer harsh chemicals when you kiss your loves one, it is better to have a product with no harsh chemicals. I am very happy with the shades I have chosen online. The shade table really help me to choose the right products and the colors really fit to my skin!
: The packaging could be more fun. They could have more make-up products.

| The history of Indian art unravels a breathtaking
variety of artifacts that reflect the varied and intense moods of our culture
and heritage. Timeless pieces of art have held the eye captive with its
fascinating colors and designs. Today these bear a reflection of the glorious
Indian traditions.
For centuries Indian handicrafts have been distinguished for their great aesthetic and functional value.
|India's rural arts are the visual expression and technological processes of people living at several cultural, religious and sociological levels. They are the art of settled village and countryside, of people whose lives are tuned to the rhythm and laws of nature. One can feel the vibrancy of Indian ethnicity come alive in the myriad home products available, which are carefully crafted by the artisans. The numerous choices in materials available in each category of products add wings to flights of imagination. There are no limits to what can be achieved with the variety in hand. Various crafts that have been perfected over centuries are kept alive in the skilfull hands of the craftsmen. The diversity in the range of products is overwhelming. From flower pots in gardens to flower vase in drawing rooms, from candle-stands to cutlery in the dining rooms, from combs and photo frames to bed sheets and pillow cases in bedrooms and more. The list stretches as long as the imagination. Perhaps even beyond.
|For instance, the figure of a dancer is one of the first metal sculpture pieces to be discovered in India. Even 5,000 years ago, Indian craftsmen had mastered the art of casting. The large Buddha figure at Sultanganj is possibly the largest surviving metalwork of ancient times. The lost wax process of casting has been developed into a fine art in India. The earliest archaelogical evidence of metal work in the Indian sub-continent is provided by the metal tools found at sites in Kalibangan in Rajasthan, Baluchistan etc. dating bak to 3000B.C. Several metal antiquities have also been discovered at the world famous Mohenjodaro and Harappa civlisation which existed around 2500B.C. The iron beams of Konark Sun temple in Orissa and the iron pillar at Qutab Minar in Delhi are evidence of the numerous skills achieved by Indians in the field of metalware. Metal is part of the Indian mystique as each metal has its own alchemic and healing powers. Availability of different metals and its vulnerable nature has made it the base for a variety of decorative techniques such as inlay, metal casting, carving, applique, etc. The scope of art metal is immense. Brass items traditionally come from Uttar Pradesh, Agra, Delhi and Orissa where as gun metal items come from Andhra Pradesh and white metal items are a speciallity from the heart of Rajasthan.
|The art of carving is known to man from pre-historic times. Our artisans have perfected this art and continued this glorious tradition for generations. Indian craftsmen are known worldwide for their precision carvings on wood, stone and bone. The art of sculpture and architecture is the poetic expression of stone craft. Small-scale sculptures of deities, modelled on classical prototypes, continue to be made in many parts of India. The art of 'Inlay' involves carving of floral, trellis, creeper and geometric patterns on the white marble surface, and then setting into it semi precious stones of different colors. Sculptures of the Mauryan period, Buddhist carvings at Bharhut and Sanchi, and the rock-cut caves of Ajanta and Ellora, and Khajuraho have no parallels. Uttar Pradesh, Agra and Orissa are famous for their stone carvings where as Kerala and Tamilnadu are famous for their mastery in wood carvings. Another form of art in carving is 'undercutting'. It is a form of carving where various layers are carved, one beneath the other, from a single piece of material which may be either stone or wood. Indian artisans are famous world over for their mastery in the art of undercutting. If an elelphant is carved in stone in undercutting, even the inner elephant (i.e. elephant within the outer elephant) is carved in such a manner that all its features are distinct.

My first try at building a portable chicken coop and run turned out NOT to be "portable" without a trailer, winch and lots of help, lol. (see "One Woman, One Saw, One Week")...and I cannot let my hens out to free-range as I would like to because my (very near) neighbor works for a local chicken farm and is not to be around other fowl...or could lose his job. Not interested in getting on his bad side (which tends to appear from time to time unexpectedly anyway).
So...I built this!
Being the scavenger that I am, I thought I'd hit the jackpot when someone "dumped" some sort of built-in bunkbed? unit (in pieces) back on the property. I just hate to see good (or any) lumber go to waste, so this is built entirely from the discarded "whatever-it-was" including the screws I took out of the boards by hand! All of the wire was given to me by another neighbor. Cheap? Me? I prefer "frugal", lol.
Ironically, the wood "thing" had already been painted almost the identical color I had painted my first hen house with! How cool is that?
Cool, huh?!
The "Tractor-Coop" is approximately 42" wide by 6' long. I don't have a scanner to upload the "drawing" of plans I had made, but the finished product turned out pretty darned close to what I had envisioned.
Features include:
3 doors for easy access (one over the nest box, a large "screen door" over most of the "run" that both open upwards, and a small door at the end of run that opens like a normal door for easily transferring hens in and out from a cage without having to pick them up or drop them in, or fish them out of, the top).
A partial wooden platform in covered end with nest box built in so I don't have to move a "shelter" or nest box each time I move the tractor. The end under the roost and near the feeder is covered with hardware cloth on the bottom so nothing can dig up into that "safe place". The wooden platform and roost bar allow the hens to get off of the ground if they want to as well. I have fashioned a shallow "poop tray" to slide in and out above the hardware cloth stapled to the bottom...it is under the roost bar so makes cleaning easier.
Feed bin (rabbit hutch style) easily filled from outside with laying pellets and a bit of oyster shell mixed in. I never use separate feeders for those items...I find that they will take whatever "shell" they want out of the food...usually VERY little in comparison with the pellets eaten.
An apron surrounding the open-bottomed "run" to deter digging predators.
Built in "handles" at each corner for lifting and moving the unit.
The waterer is slightly suspended with a small wire and quickly hooks onto a caribiner so I don't have to reach in and move a water bowl each day either. It only needs filling about every 3 days with my four hens.
The only drawback is that it is not entirely waterproof in the covered end, so I DO have a tarp that I quickly clip on (at predetermined places with hooks put permanently in place for the eyelet locations) when I'm expecting rain.
You might notice the "staples" sticking out where the 1x2 strips are brown, unstained, brown, unstained, etc...these are the long staples that were used to construct the unit originally. I placed them facing "outward" on purpose so that when I attached the wire, I could "hook it" to these staples (before pounding them down and stapling my wire securely in place).
Total Cost = The price of a box of staples for the staple gun.
(I'll upload photos as I can...having trouble getting them uploaded)
Basic Frame
The two doors that open upward
Interior shot of roost bar, feeder.
Rabbit hutch style feeder. Hardware cloth there and on the bottom under that "roof" on the right. The cat has to be in nearly every photo, LOL, he would probably take "selfies" if he had thumbs!
The nest box actually has a board installed upright (not shown here) to divide it from the roost bar. They can enter the nest box to the left of the roost bar (as shown in this photo). Helps keep poo out of the nest and they like the privacy and wind protection much better for laying.
Apron visible along with suspended waterer. The "house" lid is propped open and just to the right of it you can see the "screen door" that also opens upward in the same manner. Extended "handles" on each end (each corner) are also visible. Hmm, the cat again.
On this end, to the left is the door that opens up "normally". It is currently just wired shut since it (and the "screen door") are very lightweight.

Thanks to Simone, who explains what's happening in this photo:
This is my bunny Schnuffel. He use to love taking his naps in the book shelf next to my bed. Since the new girl bunny moved in he doesn't get much rest anymore because SHE just loves sitting on his head!!
