Last-Minute Predictions for NFL Week 5October 6, 2013
Last-Minute Predictions for NFL Week 5
If you aren't excited for the menu of Week 5 NFL games, check your pulse. It's the best slate of early-season games in years.
Between Chiefs/Titans, Dolphins/Ravens, Patriots/Bengals, Saints/Bears, Lions/Packers, Seahawks/Colts, Broncos/Cowboys and Texans/49ers, there shouldn't be a dull moment all day.
And while it's a difficult prospect to make predictions about each of these titanic matchups, I'm taking my best shot.
Here are my last-minute predictions for NFL Week 5.
Aaron Rodgers Will Throw for Four Touchdowns in a Win over the Lions
Thus far, there's been a role reversal in the NFC North standings, with perennial doormat Detroit sitting at 3-1 and two-time defending division champion Green Bay at 1-2.
On Sunday, the teams meet at Lambeau Field, and the Lions will have the opportunity to prove to the world that they're a legitimate contender and need to be taken seriously as a threat to capture the division.
Unfortunately for Lions fans, that isn't going to happen.
The Packers might be 1-2, but they've lost road games at San Francisco and Cincinnati, two of the better teams in football. They still employ quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the best player in football regardless of position.
Plus, Detroit hasn't beaten Green Bay at Lambeau since George Bush was in office, and I'm not talking "Dubya." The Lions haven't gotten it done in Wisconsin since Dec. 15, 1991.
Rodgers will shred the Lions' 22nd-ranked pass defense and connect early and often with stud receivers Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and James Jones on the way to a four-touchdown performance. The Packers will restore normalcy to the NFC North with a double-digit victory over the Lions.
The Bengals Will Bounce Back and Beat the Patriots
Conventional wisdom says that the 4-0 Patriots should handle the 2-2 Bengals in the Queen City. Conventional wisdom says that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are a much better bet than Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton.
I laugh in the face of conventional wisdom. The Bengals will make a statement and beat the Patriots.
I know that Cincinnati looked awful last week in its loss at Cleveland, but over the past two years in which they qualified for the postseason, they've proven to be a resilient team.
New England's ground game won't be able to get going, and the Bengals will harass Brady throughout the contest. Expect a big game from defensive tackle Geno Atkins.
While Bengals star receiver A.J. Green will face a tough assignment in Patriots corner Aqib Talib, that will free up fellow receiver Mohamed Sanu and tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert, allowing Dalton to throw for 300-plus yards.
Plus, it's impossible to overstate how much the loss of defensive tackle Vince Wilfork for the season hurts the Patriots. Without Wilfork in the middle of New England's defensive line, Bengals running backs Giovani Bernard and BenJarvus Green-Ellis should find success running the football.
All of that adds up to a Bengals victory over the Patriots.
The Chiefs Defense Will Suffocate the Titans Offense
Coach Mike Munchak's Titans have been one of the best stories in the NFL this season, riding an underrated defense and clutch offense to a 3-1 record.
But unfortunately for Tennessee, the club will be without starting quarterback Jake Locker for at least a month as he recovers from a hip injury suffered in last week's win over the Jets. While new signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick is an above-average backup, the loss of Locker is huge and a total momentum-killer for the Titans, who host the 4-0 Chiefs Sunday.
Kansas City's defense has been the centerpiece of its 4-0 start, ranking eighth overall and leading the league with 18 sacks. The unit will hold Titans running back Chris Johnson in check and swarm the turnover-prone Fitzpatrick, ultimately suffocating the Tennessee offense.
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith will make enough plays in the passing game, and the Kansas City defense will take care of the rest as the team will improve to 5-0.
Andrew Luck Will Outplay Russell Wilson, but the Seahawks Will Win
It's very possible that we'll look back at the 2012 draft class as one of the best ever for quarterbacks, and two of the main reasons for that are the franchise signal-callers for the Colts (Andrew Luck) and Seahawks (Russell Wilson).
On Sunday in Indianapolis, they'll go head to head for the first time in what's sure to be an entertaining contest between two of the better teams in football.
While I expect Luck to outplay Wilson, the Seahawks will still beat the Colts, and it's simply because they're a more talented team on both sides of the ball.
Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will rush for over 100 yards, while the excellent Seattle defense will hold Colts running back Trent Richardson in check.
Wilson will make enough plays with his arm and legs to give Seattle the lead, and the defense will do the rest. Luck will have the better statistical game, but it'll be Wilson's team which gets the victory.
The Giants Offense Will Break Out in a Win over the Eagles
The 0-4 New York Giants have been nothing short of a dumpster fire, and the offense has been particularly abysmal over the last two games, scoring a grand total of seven points.
Thankfully for Big Blue, the Eagles and their 31st-ranked defense are coming to town.
This will be the game where Giants running back David Wilson breaks out. He'll go over 100 yards and score at least one touchdown, while Eli Manning will find success in the passing game and throw touchdown strikes to receivers Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks.
The Eagles offense will shred the Giants' porous defense, but New York is playing at home, and that will make the difference in a shootout victory.
Tony Romo and Peyton Manning Will Combine for 700 Yards Passing
While Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has been praised (and rightly so) for his ridiculous 16-touchdown, zero-interception stat line through four games, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been pretty good, too, with eight touchdowns against only one interception.
When Denver plays at Dallas Sunday, the gargantuan scoreboard at "Jerry World" will be lit up early and often, as both signal-callers are sure to have monster games.
The Broncos offense under Manning has been unstoppable, and that means Romo and Co. will be forced to air it out to stay in the game.
Expect both quarterbacks to throw for over 350 yards and multiple touchdowns and the Broncos to win by double digits, improving to 5-0.
The Dolphins Will Bottle Up Ray Rice
In last Sunday's shocking defeat at Buffalo, the Ravens only ran the ball twice in the second half, prompting coach John Harbaugh to acknowledge that the team must get running back Ray Rice more involved in the offense.
While Baltimore will certainly try to get Rice going on Sunday in Miami, the Dolphins' ferocious front provides a significant impediment to their quest.
Miami's run defense is ranked 10th overall and is coming off a game in which they held the Saints to under three yards per carry, albeit in defeat. The difference between last week and this week? Baltimore doesn't possess nearly the same aerial attack as New Orleans, meaning the Dolphins will have a much easier time shutting down the Ravens offense.
With Rice stymied, it'll be up to Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill to make enough plays to secure victory.
That will happen, and Miami will improve to 4-1.
The Bears Will Deliver the Saints Their First Loss
While the Saints have been a tremendous story, riding the return of coach Sean Payton to a 4-0 mark, their unbeaten run will come to an end Sunday at Soldier Field against the 3-1 Bears.
Chicago crashed and burned last week in Detroit, falling 40-32, but they'll bounce back Sunday. Quarterback Jay Cutler will have success throwing the ball to receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, and running back Matt Forte will put up over 150 yards of total offense.
It's true that the Saints defense has been rejuvenated this season under the stewardship of coordinator Rob Ryan, but the unit will fall back to Earth against the Bears offense.
The Bears defense will turn the Saints offense over a few times, and Cutler will put enough points on the scoreboard for Chicago to improve to 4-1.
Texans/49ers Will Come Down to the Wire
Last week, Houston suffered a crushing overtime loss to Seattle, while San Francisco blew the doors off St. Louis.
On Sunday Night Football, the 49ers welcome the Texans to Candlestick Park, and scuttlebutt would seem to indicate that the Niners will easily handle Houston.
That won't happen. This game will come down to the wire.
Texans quarterback Matt Schaub has been the target of deserved criticism, as he's thrown a pick-six in each of the team's last three games, but he'll play efficiently against the Niners.
Houston receivers Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins match up well against the 49ers cornerbacks, and the Texans will be able to move the ball effectively through the air.
While the 49ers should end up winning a close game, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone if Houston pulls off the upset.
The Falcons Will Crush the Jets on Monday Night
Last year, the Falcons earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and came within a few yards of reaching the Super Bowl.
2013 hasn't been as kind, as Atlanta has stumbled to a 1-3 record, a full three games behind the Saints in the NFC South.
The good news for Atlanta? The Falcons host the Jets and their living, breathing turnover-machine of a quarterback, Geno Smith, on Monday Night Football.
Let's face facts: Atlanta's players and coaches are too good for the team to fall to 1-4. This game is a mismatch at every level.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will dazzle, as will receiver Julio Jones, who will get the better of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie. The defense will force at least two Smith turnovers in a double-digit victory for the Dirty Birds.

Gentoo Group is a large social enterprise based in the North East of England. It was the winner of the Bupa Workwell Award at the 2014 Responsible Business Awards for their Happy, Healthy and Here programme. We spoke to their Chief Executive, and HRH The Prince of Wales' Ambassador, Peter Walls about the programme, the place of responsible business at Gentoo, and his plans to make Sunderland the new Malmö.
Tell me a bit about the motivation for the Happy, Healthy and Here programme.
Could your business be the next winner of the Bupa Employee Wellbeing Award? The Responsible Business Awards are open for entries now.
Our workforce is our biggest and most important asset so I feel it is vital we invest our time and effort to safeguard their wellbeing. This goes on to significantly benefit our customers.
I want staff to bring the best of their whole personality to work. If you've got some issue in your life which impacts on your own wellbeing, how can you be expected to give 100 percent at work?
We aim to engage everyone across our business, regardless of roles or titles to enjoy activities and events relating to health which can be shared at home with family and friends. These benefits have a far reaching impact into the wider community, increasing the sphere of influence of the programme.
Our Happy, Healthy and Here programme aims to raise awareness, educate, demonstrate and signpost staff to a number of health services and programmes to enable individuals to be happier, healthier and more engaged in life at both work and home.
It's a holistic programme that deals with everything from addressing whether you spend as much time with your family as you should, to doing something about prostate cancer. Its focus can be anything. One example is, we feel domestic abuse is unacceptable and tackle it in our community, but we weren't really providing any great offer to the staff. So we extended the service and are now supporting a number of staff through difficult situations.
Has winning the Award made a difference to Gentoo?
Massively so. I knew the high calibre of organisations we were competing against, and it was inspiring for us to think, "We've done it!"
You're competing with some global companies, and for Gentoo to keep turning up with a BITC Big Tick makes us incredibly proud. It definitely enhances our reputation as an employer. It's recognition of our approach to responsible business, and a benchmark for our performance. We want to be judged credibly against the best in the field.
And for our staff obviously there's a celebratory feel and sense of great pride in Gentoo. I do believe in staff who go the extra mile and make these positive differences having some recognition.
What does Gentoo do that inspires responsible business values in its staff?
It's not difficult as I've got an inspired bunch of people working here. At Gentoo there's a compelling story and a clear link to our vision – [called] the Art of Living. This is basically about inspiring and empowering everyone who is touched by Gentoo so they can focus on what is important in their life, and live their lives to the maximum of their own potential.
If staff don't believe in our vision and values, then there's every other company in the world to pick from. Thankfully, there's a big alignment of values and an element of co-creation in the business that people can easily sign up to.
Take the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index. From a point where we weren't even having conversations about it we are now number one in the UK. The people who've driven this agenda passionately care about it, and are much more likely to achieve success than me personally.
We recognise and we reward behaviour that fits alongside our value structures and ethical position, and of late, we're more robustly challenging people who perhaps don't. There's always a chance to develop and change, but if people continue to be out of alignment, then we're going to have to do something, because it takes away from our ambitious vision that a lot of people are committed to.
Can you tell me about the place of responsible business in Gentoo?
For us responsible business is not a bolt on or an afterthought, it is core to the way we operate. We set ourselves ambitious targets and measure the social impact our decisions have.
Our business strategy is based around people, planet and property activity. We are determined to use our resources, talents and energy to find real solutions that help tackle some of society's most pressing concerns.
Starting with our property offer, we want to create safe, secure and brilliant homes for people so they can get on and live their life in so many other ways. If you don't get your housing right, an awful lot else suffers. We see housing as a key part of how people can achieve their life within communities.
We also believe in including our customers in the debate and having them in our governance structure to ensure we are shaping our services around their needs.
Turning to our planet offer, we build property to a standard beyond that which the sector requires. The sector has hovered around level three of the Code for Sustainable Homes [an environmental standard for new homes] and it barely owns up to that. We're already constructing new homes beyond code five, and that's not meant to come in until around 2016.
We've done a whole load of experiments on how you treat homes both in terms of retrofitting older properties with environmental measures and with new build, to reduce their carbon impact, provide an efficient energy supply to people and reduce energy bills. We continue to pioneer in that field.
As an overarching principle, we're trying to get Gentoo to be a company living within the resources of one planet. All parts of my business, whether they're accountants or architects or housing people or construction workers or admin people or lawyers, have had to come together under our planet smart initiative and create target-based improvements, and they're doing some amazing stuff.
I use the one-planet argument with people who I'm trying to influence, because it's not as technically confusing as a lot of the other environmental arguments. If people tell me about their shareholders not being prepared to participate, my comment would be, "If we've only got one planet, what gives your company the right to consume more than one? I don't understand where you get that authority."
I think that's quite a good moral and ethical position to have. We should challenge every company to live within the means of the planet, and if they can't, I'd like the shareholders to justify to society why.
And ultimately we are here for people, they are at our heart. A big part of our organisation works almost 100 percent on CSR activity. It was born out of our original landlord business, but we now spend our time dealing with loneliness, dealing with engaging mature people, or working with young kids who are not prepared to access either education or employment. We have young people saying to us, "You haven't changed my life, you've saved my life," because we work with some of the most challenged areas.
I think we have responsible business in our DNA. Making a real positive difference to people's lives is right at the heart of it.
Can you give an example of putting values over profit?
We pride ourselves on our home specification and standards. We build space into our neighbourhoods and within the homes themselves.
I went on a tour of some neighbourhoods this morning, and I just looked at the homes and at my site guys and my designers there, and said "Well done". You don't generally go on estates and see this kind of space now, it's a thing of the past. But we need space, we need places for our children to grow and play and this is in our specification.
Apprenticeships are also important to us. We support our apprentices throughout, until they've got jobs. We really believe in putting some of the personal elements in people's lives right, in order that they've got a chance at sustaining a job, not just working on a revolving door basis. Most companies don't do that, they've got a certain amount of money allocated, and you get sheep-dipped through a system and then you go.
We've got young people with us who will remain on a journey with us at Gentoo, and we believe in making that commitment to them.
Another example, we were appointed on a project to start improving about 80 bungalows in Sunderland, all filled with old people, all with atrocious energy efficiency.
The client decided to dump the contract but that didn't sit right with us. We decided to press on and told them it was too late and we were doing it anyway whether they gave us the money or not. Now I didn't have to do that, but my staff said this is the right thing to do.
Sometimes you've got to do what your heart says and follow your values. And sometimes you don't get a big profit but that's not what drives your considerations.
What sort of impacts have you seen?
In terms of energy, there's a customer whose home we put PV [solar power] onto who we introduced to [then Minister of State for Climate Change] Greg Barker, and he told him that what we had done had changed his life. Greg was talking about Feed-in Tariffs [payments made by energy companies to people for power generated by solar panels on their property], but our customer talked about the personal impacts.
He talked about how his daughter can now use the house, go upstairs and do her work, hang out with her friends, because she isn't freezing cold up there. Before she couldn't put the heating on, and they had to all sit in the same room.
All we've done is spent a little bit of resource, and this family's whole life has transformed. Some people would say that's a technical achievement, I see it as better lives, massively enhanced.
What do you see as the role of business in society?
We firmly believe that the business sector is the biggest single constituent in society and it's long overdue that it takes responsibility for the whole of society. In my view that's happening very well, with some key companies leading the charge, but there's a long way to go.
We can't have the old capitalist mantra, make millions and then it trickles down and helps society, if somebody's blocked the trickle down. We're making the same amount of money, but it isn't trickling down.
I think the business sector needs to get more creative about how they can make a significant difference to the application of responsible business practice. I think that is an obligation for all businesses in the twenty-first century. I'm pleased to say that's what BITC are doing and the Awards show that there are some great examples of it happening now.
How has the housing association sector's attitude towards responsible business changed?
I am sensing a greater appetite to pick up the challenge the public sector is leaving behind. We are in those neighbourhoods, they are our tenants and customers, and we service some of the people who are struggling most. Abandoning them is not good for our business.
The more we can help people get into employment, the more secure our income is. The more we leave children uneducated, the more our neighbourhoods become depleted in skills. We have a proper, real commercial vested interest, but also a big heart and a willingness to jump in when some might say, it's not down to you, it's down to the council.
What challenges are coming up for Gentoo?
Firstly, I would say the impact of generational differences. We're going to have people working longer. Our organisation's gone from having one person over 65 two years ago, and there's 14 now. They have great experience, but you're still introducing young people at the foot and we're seeing different beliefs as to what constructs a lifestyle.
So, older people say, "I deserve to be respected because I'm old", while perhaps younger people might think, "You can't be respected just because you're old". They don't mean to be unkind, they're answering a different question in their mind. That's a very interesting challenge for all businesses in the twenty-first century.
The other is how I'm now trying to position Gentoo. Gentoo's best ability is to maximise its impact within a narrow geographic area, rather than a broader one.
So, if the Art of Living is something we believe in so passionately, could we make our city, Sunderland, one which is famous for the practice of the Art of Living more successfully? What's in my mind is Malmö.
Malmö was in a very similar economic decline as Sunderland. Same industries, same decline, same era. If you look at the two now, Malmo is a world famous city, where people don't go to see closed industry, they go to a destination of its own where you experience how it has transformed.
I think that would be a cool thing to do with a community and a city, if we were willing to do it.

Drove up our local mountain pass (near the REAL Hidden Valley Ranch of dressing fame) to take this week's pictures. A hawk was flying very close to me and I was able to get a couple shots. Didn't realize there were TWO hawks at one point, sadly I wasn't able to get both in one shot, but it was a nice encounter with nature.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this does, how I know if it's acting up, how I could have gotten it, and if it is contagious. Huge thanks to anyone who can help me out here!
"Group B Streptococcus is a bacterial infection in which groups of streptococcus bacteria reproduce and multiply (colonize) in the mucous membranes. This bacteria is found most often in the vagina and rectum of females. Group B Streptococci can be transmitted sexually, as well as to a fetus as the infant passes through the birth canal."
From childbirth.org:
"An estimated 12,000 infants in the United States will become infected with GBS each year. This bacteria will result in the death of an estimated 2,000 infants yearly, while leaving many others mentally and/or physically handicapped."
Basically, it is something to be concerned about when giving birth because it is dangerous to the infant, but not to you.
You might want to read this: http://www.mpshu.on.ca/Diseases&Infections/strepb.htm
Screening is routine in many OB/GYN groups, and even when pregnant women test positive for it, it's often fine to leave it untreated.
Something to be aware of, but not something to worry about.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,RESPONDENT,v.CHARLES HICKS,DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Erie County (Russell P. Buscaglia, A.J.), rendered December 9, 2009.
People v Hicks
Decided on November 10, 2011
Appellate Division, Fourth Department
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
The judgment convicted defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted robbery in the first degree.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon a plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.15 [4]), defendant contends that his waiver of the right to appeal was invalid. We reject that contention. Despite defendant's contention to the contrary, the record establishes that he knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his right to appeal as a condition of the plea bargain (see generally People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 256). Supreme Court "engage[d] the defendant in an adequate colloquy to ensure that the waiver of the right to appeal was a knowing and voluntary choice" (People v James, 71 AD3d 1465, 1465 [internal quotation marks omitted]), and the record establishes that defendant " understood that the right to appeal is separate and distinct from those rights automatically forfeited upon a plea of guilty' " (People v Dunham, 83 AD3d 1423, 1424, lv denied 17 NY3d 794, quoting Lopez, 6 NY3d at 256). The challenge by defendant to the court's suppression ruling is encompassed by his valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Kemp, 94 NY2d 831, 833; People v Williams, 49 AD3d 1281, lv denied 10 NY3d 940).

DOUGLAS SEVILLE, PLAINTIFFv.PAUL J. STOWITZKY, WARDEN OF S.R.F.C. MERCER, ET AL., DEFENDANTS
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Pollak, J.
Before the court are plaintiff's motion to remand and defendants' response. See Docket Nos. 7, 11. According to the complaint, plaintiff Douglas Seville is currently incarcerated at State Correctional Facility Mercer in Mercer, PA. See Docket No. 1 at 7. Mr. Seville filed his original complaint pro se in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on November 5, 2007. That court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis on February 21, 2008. Defendants filed their answer to plaintiff's complaint on February 25, 2008. On July 15, 2008, defendants filed their notice of removal with this court. See Docket No. 1. For the reasons that follow, this court will grant plaintiff's motion to remand. An appropriate order follows.
The Removal Statutes, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441-1452, govern the removal of a state court case to a federal district court. Defendants removed the instant matter to this court in compliance with the substantive requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1441*fn1 and the procedural requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a).*fn2
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b), a motion for removal must be timely filed. § 1446(b) provides, in pertinent part:
The notice of removal of a civil action or proceeding shall be filed within thirty days after the receipt by the defendant, through service or otherwise, of a copy of the initial pleading setting forth the claim for relief upon which such action or proceeding is based, or within thirty days after the service of summons upon the defendant if such initial pleading has then been filed in court and is not required to be served on the defendant, whichever period is shorter.
Defendants were thus required to file their notice of removal within thirty days of being served with plaintiff's complaint.
Defendants answered plaintiff's complaint on February 25, 2008. Defendants did not file their notice of removal until more than four months later. Defendants state in their brief that "as a result of inter-agency miscommunication, [defendants] indeed filed for removal beyond the statutory 30 day period." Defendants therefore did not comply with 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b).
The timeliness requirements for plaintiff's motion to remand are governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c), which provides, in pertinent part:
A motion to remand the case on the basis of any defect other than lack of subject matter jurisdiction must be made within 30 days after the filing of the notice of removal under section 1446(a).
This court's electronic filing system assigned plaintiff's motion to remand a "date filed" of August 26, 2008, 42 days after defendants had filed their removal notice.
There is no dispute that defendants' notice of removal was untimely filed. Untimely filing warrants remand, and defendants have given no compelling explanation for their late filing. The issue for this court to resolve is whether Mr. Seville waived this court's authority to remand his case.
"I]t is well-established that an untimely filed removal notice" is a "non-jurisdictional defect" that is "waived if not objected to within the thirty-day window afforded by 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c)." Calloway v. Boro of Glassboro Dept. of Police, 89 F. Supp. 2d 543, 549 n. 13 (D.N.J. 2000) (citing Air-Shields, Inc. v. Fullam, 891 F.2d 63, 65 (3d Cir.1989)).
In this Circuit, "[w]e have become accustomed to dealing differently, and more liberally, with litigants who appear Pro se." Cervase v. Office of Federal Register, 580 F.2d 1166, 1179 (3d Cir. 1978) (Garth, J., dissenting) (citing Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976)). Under Estelle, it is settled law that pro se complaints are to be "liberally construed" and "held to 'less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.'" 429 U.S. at 106 (citations omitted).
In Houston v. Lack, the Supreme Court held that an incarcerated pro se litigant had timely filed a notice of appeal when that notice was delivered to prison officials three days before the 30-day filing deadline, even though the notice itself was ultimately filed with the court later than the formal deadline. 487 U.S. 266 (1988). Houston noted that although Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 3(a) and 4(a)(1) "specify that the notice should be filed 'with the clerk of the district court'" within thirty days, that specification does not resolve the issue of "whether the moment of 'filing' occurs when the notice is delivered to the prison authorities or at some later juncture in its processing." Id. at 272-73 (citations omitted). Explaining its holding that filing ...

After our very late lunch in Boracay, the other girls in the group insisted that we went to Jonah's Fruit Shakes. Being the Boracay newbie that I was, I wondered why we were walking from Station 2 to Station 1 just to buy a "Choco Banana Peanut" shake. Forgive me if I get the name wrong, by the way.
The sun has already set when we found the humble space of Jonah's. It was nothing fancy at all. It looked like your average carinderia sans the food display. It's tucked behind the big restaurants by the beach, right behind Guilly's Island and just beside Cocomanga's. It's sort of like a hidden gem in the sea of commercialized establishments.
The majority ordered "Choco Banana Peanut" shake while I had the one with vanilla. The menu was so darn confusing because they were pretty much made of the same ingredients, with only one ingredient setting it apart from the others. They had like five or more variations of the choco banana shake. On average, the shakes are priced Php90.
I was intrigued by their array of shakes that had a shot or two of rum. Babe ordered it. Presentation is really basic, as you can see in the picture above. My vanilla-shake something tasted fine but the real winner of that night was Babe's Mocha Rum. It was so darn good and I'm not over-reacting. 🙂
You wouldn't know that it had rum in it because it didn't overpower the mocha taste. Then again, the taste is still there. In fact, one of the boys we were with mistakenly thought he was chugging (or sipping) down a choco banana peanut shake when really it was Mocha Rum.
Now I know why Jonah's is known to serve the best fruit shakes in the island. 🙂

SoultoSoul HQ is located at:
Suite 4, 6-7 Gurrigal, Mosman
New South Wales AUSTRALIA 2088
Enter via Nathan Lane
We are located on the north shore of Sydney, approximately 10 -15 minutes from the City centre. Our entrance is actually just around the corner form the front of the building in Nathan Lane.
Please note that there are 2 flights of stairs to access the centre. There is no disabled access.
By Car:
Gurrigal St is a small street off the main road called Military Rd.
If you are driving from the city: you cannot turn right into Gurrigal St so you need to turn right earlier. Turn right at Belmont Rd from Military Rd and come along until you get to Harbour St. Turn left into Harbour St and continue up right to the end and it will turn left into a little laneway (Nathan Lane) and into Gurrigal St. However also see parking directions below as Harbour St is a good place to park!
Driving from the Northern Beaches: Simply continue along Military Rd, through the Spit Junction lights and turn left into Gurtrigal St
Parking: There are 2 hour parking spots in Gurrigal St and the adjacent streets. I find Harbour St ( the next one over) the best option. Please allow extra time for parking as sometimes it can be busy! (remember to call on the parking angels!)
There is also a parking station in Vista St (2 streets over) which has various levels with 1-4 hour parking options for free. There is a pathway that cuts right through to the centre just outside the carpark. There is another council carpark off Myahgah Rd (another street over).
For workshops when you want all day parking, try Belmont Rd and it's side streets which will be about a 5-10 minute walk from the centre. The bottom part of Harbour St & also Gurrigal St also tend to have all day parking on weekends but always check the signs first!!!!
By Bus:
It is easily accessible via bus services; there are very frequent services from the city and northern beaches. Simply ask to get off at Spit Junction and the centre is a short walk from there.
See www.131500.com.au to see available services.[map id="1″]

"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words." These were the words that President Donald Trump said when he first announced his candidacy. Since his inauguration, Trump has continued to talk about his intentions of building the wall, with many companies allegedly bidding for the contract, despite its many obstacles. Many leaders in Latin America have publicly stated that building the wall would not only change the relationship with Mexico, but it would change relationships with the rest of Latin America as well. Trump's wall would create a physical barrier between the US and Mexico, but it would also intensify what social scientists call symbolic boundaries.
The border acts as the physical manifestation of and "us versus them" mentality by reinforcing differences between groups, which often limits positive contact between groups and can lead to negative stereotypes. For example, physical borders create symbolic boundaries that reinforce national identities by marking the geographic territory where one nationality resides. This often creates tensions by giving further attention to perceived group differences. In the case of Trump's wall, part of the underlying purpose is to intensify the symbolic boundary between Anglo-Americans in the industrialized world and the Hispanic inhabitants of a developing nation.
- Donald N. Levine. 1996. "Sociology and the Nation-State in an Era of Shifting Boundaries." Sociological Inquiry 66(3): 253-266.
- Michele Lamont and Virag Molnar. 2002. "The Study of Boundaries in the Social Sciences." Annual Reviews of Sociology 28: 167-195.
Symbolic boundaries use specific cultural distinctions in order to distinguish one group from another, often along racial, ethnic, and religious lines. In the United States for example, Christians believe having religion creates a morality that is the basis for civic society. Atheists, who have no religion, are believed to lack that morality. This has resulted in atheists being unfairly cast as the symbolic representation of anti-American values. Like the physical wall Trump keeps threatening, these same types of symbolic boundaries work to keep many immigrants, refugees, and other religious minorities from being fully accepted in the U.S.

At the start of May I had two weddings at Pickwell Manor – a stunning manor house on the North Devon Coast. The second of these was the wedding of Ellie and John Jo.
When I met with Ellie and John Jo the night before the wedding it was clear that they were keen for me to capture the day very naturally, without to much posing or direction. This of course is music to my ears, wonderful when a couple completely trust my style of photography. And What a beautiful, elegant bride Ellie made, she certainly needed no direction from me to shine in the photos.
My highlights of the day would be the reception, beautiful light and such an great atmosphere amongst the guests as they enjoyed the setting and the hospitality. The speeches were hilarious and then moving in equal measure, especially the best man's speech as he talked with great warmth and regard for John Jo's late dad. Then there was the dancing…..I was beaming at the energy on the dance floor, great to see everyone really letting go and having a ball.
Ellie and John Jo, I wish you every happiness for the future, thank you for asking me to capture your day, it really was an absolute pleasure.

Nowadays, the teaching of English as a foreign language in primary schools is gaining popularity throughout the world. Many countries are also using English in the upper grades as the vehicular language for all or part of the general curriculum. And the research about the development of brain plays an important role in helping us to find our good methods to teach English for children.
What we have learnt about the process of brain development has helped us understand more about the roles both genetics and the environment play in our development. It appears that genetics help us develop in certain ways. But our experiences , including our interactions with other people, have a significant impact on us.
There's a fact that most of the brain's cells are formed before birth , but most of the connections among cells are made during infancy and early childhood. Scientists also find out that the brain has an ability to change in response to repeated stimulation, and early experience and interaction with the environment are most critical in a child's brain development. Due to this, when we teach English for children , we should give them more chance to practice , so that the will be able to experience such a new thing like English.
Some people said that a toddler's brain is less active than the brain of a college student . This statement is obviously wrong .Exactly, a 3-year old toddler's brain is twice active as an adult's brain . that why we have to spend a special care for children in this period. It is really a sensitive stage. At this satge , talking to a baby can establish foundation for learning languages during critical periods when learning is eastest for a child. This is because our brains are wrired to respond to the sound of speech, when babies hear people speaking, the neural systems in their brains responsible for speech and language receive the necessary stimulation to organize and function. The more babies are exposed to people speaking, the stronger their related synapse (connections) become. Talking English to children in this period is very effective because they can have a basic stage to prepare for higher education.
So what we need to provide the children to help them improve their language speaking ability?? Some special helps or some costly toys??
The answer is no. what children need most is loving care and new experience, not those special attentions or toys. We can talk , sing , play or dance with the children. These are some keys and activities that build the child's brain.
Games become not only an important part of child's life but also an useful and efficient tool in learning English. There are many advantages of using games in the classroom:
- They are motivating and challenging.
- Learning a language requires a great deal of effort.
- Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning.
- Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking, writing, listening and reading…
And we can also combine teaching lessons with some songs , so that the children won't get bored with the theory.
Hope that our teacher staffs will find more and more good ways and methods to give our children the best developing environment.

Twitter, on Monday suspended an account belonging to Niger Delta Avengers.
The suspension came a day after the group said it successfully launched five attacks on oil installations within two days.
The group is notorious for its destruction of oil and gas installations owned by major oil corporations across the delta states, the Avengers had since inception used Twitter to announce attacks.
The group first used Twitter to claim responsibility for the bombing of Bonny Soku gas export line in Gbarain, Bayelsa State, in February 2016.
Since then, it had claimed responsibility for more than 24 attacks as at July 2.
While announcing attacks, it also demanded a better living condition for the people of the oil-rich region. At some point, the group demanded a sovereign state for the Niger Delta.
Shell, Chevron, Eni, NNPC and other oil companies operating in the region had their facilities attacked in recent months.

This C-130 Transport is seen banking hard to the right just over runway 20R-2L @ BNA. He is practicing a specific landing style that is designed for hostile enviroments. This type of landing approach helps thwart off any attempt to shoot down the military transport in the event it's in a hostile situation during a military operation. Really is quite impressive to see this in person. It would remind one of a airshow.

What do Scott Walker, Chris Christie and Bobby Jindal all have in common? They're all sitting governors who'd like to be president, sure. But what else?Rosenberg goes on to note that as these GOP guvs try to promote their record on the national stage, the reality back home is that their right-wing policies are bankrupting their states, to the disapproval of the people that know them best.
How about being embarrassingly bad at job creation? That's right. From January 2011 through January 2015, Louisiana under Jindal ranked 32nd in job creation with 5.4 percent growth over four years. Wisconsin under Walker ranked 35th, with 4.85 percent growth. New Jersey under Christie ranked 40th, with 4.15 percent growth. This compares with a national average of 8.21 percent.
It's not just the embarrassing job-creation numbers, though that alone should be enough to disqualify the whole lot of them. New Jersey has just experienced its ninth bond downgrade under Christie, who may end up looking for a bridge to hide under. In Wisconsin, Walker, facing a two-year deficit that could go as high as $2 billion, has responded with $300 million in cuts for higher education, on top of billions in previous education cuts. Still, job creation was supposed to be Walker's big thing—he promised to create 250,000 jobs in four years when he first ran in 2010, but came up short by more than 100,000 jobs. Making matters worse are the neighborhood comparisons. Wisconsin ranked between 29th and 41st in job growth over the last four years, the worst in the Midwest three of those years, and second worst the other. In fact, the state performed poorly on a whole host of indicators used by Bloomberg News, and suffers markedly in contrast with neighboring Minnesota, where progressive policies have that state's economy recovering nicely.Throw in Jindal's disastrous reign in Louisiana, which had unemployment rise from 5.6% to 7.2% during 2014, in a year that saw the U.S. add the most jobs in 15 years. Add in a chronic budget deficit, the GOP's refusal to raise taxes or even roll back tax cuts, and constant cuts to education that led LSU to consider filing for bankruptcy last week, and Jindal has been horrendous, even by the GOP's low standards.
Perhaps the pundits are still dazzled by these guys, but folks at home, not so much. Neither Christie nor Walker has any traction in beating Hillary Clinton in head-to-head home state matchups, probably the only kind of polls this early with any potential long-term 2016 value, since they involve figures well-known to the public being polled. Then again, Walker's job approval fell to 41 percent in the latest Marquette Law poll (56 percent disapprove), which has plenty of other bad news for him as well.
And yet there are still some who think the GOP is the "responsible, adult" party that can run government better. I have no idea what planet these people are living on, except for the fact that in GOP-world, results don't matter, "bold moves" and other types of poses do. I'd hope we ask for more from our candidates outside of the bubble.

Ebonyi state university | Ebsu 2016 strike called off
Update | Ebsu 2016 strike called off: The Ebonyi State University Strike which lasted for about four(4) days has been called off. As the matters arose was discussed and settled between the governor and the lecturers. So after all these talking, the governor accepted to help the look in to the matter and also tell them to go call of the strike, that he will set up a committee to do as they have requested. Then the lecturers conceded and call off the strike yesterday being the 20th of October 2016.
Ebsu 2016 strike called off: Answers to the reason for Ebonyi State University Strike, by the Governor
According to the Union, the strike is to press home their demand for the State Government to release the 2014 Professorial promotion and 2015 promotion of other cadres of academic staff of the institution and none gazetting of Academic Staff for the last 15 years. Chairman of the union, Prof Ndubuisi Idenyi said that apart from the release of the promotion, the union is also protesting the slashing of their monthly salaries by the State government. The governor said: I will look in to it.
He also called for the sack of the university Vice Chancellor, Prof Francis Idike who he alleged have stayed beyond his stipulated tenure in office. Prof Idenyi said that before now, the union had planned to embark on a warning strike but after deliberations, the general consensus was for them to embark on a total and indefinite strike action.
According to him, before the commencement of the industrial action, the union had written to the institution management informing them of their intention to embark on the strike.
He said: "But unfortunately all the demands we presented to the management, none was meet and we had no other option than to commence the strike action".
"We have eight point demand, one is the demand for gazetting of the academic staff of the institution for the last 15 years, another is the Professorial promotion for 2014 and other caders for 2015 which government said the management are withholding, so we want it released immediately".
"Another is the defective EBSU law, there is no where in the world that the law we are using in the university is being operated where a Vice Chancellor will serve for 2 terms of 8 years each".
"What the law provided is a single term of 5 years, we want that to be enshrined in our own law and that we are demanding.
To all the eight point demand, The governor said: I will set up a committee to look into them.
More stories:, The Student Union Government President yesterday called all the student around to discuss on the matter and on it's effect to the students. After their discussions yesterday they protested on the issue, led by there (SUG) President, and they were listened to. Ebonyi state university strike has been called off.

Disappointing facilities
Review of Cloud Farm
Aug 25, 2014, by Laura
We have just got back from our 2nd visit to Cloud farm, 2 adults and children aged 13 and 15 and a dog. We visited the first time in summer 2011 and had a lovely 10 day break so came back again for a week this year. We love Exmoor and love the stream through the campsite and cooking marshmallows on the log fire. It was disappointing that the facilities - toilets, showers and washing up area have not been updated since our last visit and had deteriorated considerably - please see previous review - we concur - they were insufficient for the number of visitors, dirty and very smelly. The prices in the shop -TWICE supermarket prices!!

Western Australian general practitioners are amongst the nation's most proactive when it comes to prescribing effective new treatments for people living with hepatitis C.
A new report released by the Kirby Institute at UNSW this week, found that after the new treatments became available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) last year, the proportion of prescriptions by GPs in WA increased from 4 per cent in March to 23 per cent in September. This is higher than the national trend which showed an increase from 4 to 19 per cent.
WA Health's Sexual Health and Blood borne Virus Program Manager, Lisa Bastian, said the results were pleasing, and she's hopeful that the trend will continue.
"GPs are the key to greater access to treatment and care for people living with hepatitis C," she said.
"We are pleased to see an increasing number of GPs prescribing the treatments, because they are so life changing and we are urging more GPs to get on board and start offering the new treatments to their patients living with chronic hepatitis C."
From March to September 2016 in WA, 1670 people initiated direct acting antiviral (DAA) treatment for chronic hepatitis C. This represents 8 per cent of people living with hepatitis C in this state. Across Australia, 11 per cent of people living with chronic hepatitis C initiated the treatment in the same period.
In Australia, the biggest risk factor for hepatitis C is injecting drug use.
WA Health is currently running a health campaign which targets at risk groups to help raise awareness of how to prevent the spread of hepatitis C and the effective new treatments available.

Daigo-ji Temple
Daigoji is a huge temple complex consisting of the Garan "main complex", Sanboin Garden, and Reihokan Museum.
A visit to Daigoji is a good half-day trip out of the city.
The temple complex covers a large area, and if you plan to see the Kami-Daigo part which is about an hour's hike to the top of the mountain, you should consider bringing a picnic lunch and a plenty to drink.
The temple was initially established high atop Mount Daigo in 874 after a Buddhist monk named "Shobo" built a hermitage there, and discovered what he believed was a sacred well.
Daigoji temple, located southeast of Kyoto along the road that leads to Nara, has been an important stopping place for pilgrims and other travelers since the tenth century.
The size and position of the temple, slightly removed from the city, creates a more peaceful, serene setting.
As a registered World Heritage Site, the temple has a lot of history, with the oldest remaining structure being the five-story pagoda built in 951.
The Sanboin is the temple's garden, and despite being rather pricey is truly beautiful.
The museum houses many of the temple's treasures.
Daigoji Temple is famous for being one of Kyoto's best places to view cherry blossoms in the spring and the leaves in the fall.
Although the main temple complex is always worth visiting, those visiting in the autumn should consider paying the extra fee to see the Sanboin garden, as it becomes especially beautiful with the vivid colors of the leaves "sadly pictures are not allowed in the Sanboin".
Visiting hours and fees for upper grounds "Kami Daigo" slightly differ from the lower grounds "Sanboin and Reihokan Museum". For the details see the Daigoji website.
Bus: The Yamakyu Keihan Bus departs directly from Kyoto Station near the Hachijo exit to Daigoji bus stop "about 30 minutes".
Train: Daigo-ji is a 1.1 km walk from the Daigo subway station "Tozai Line".

I really miss McDonald's.
Books like Fast Food Nation and movies like Super Size Me are exposing the health hazards of these types of restaurants. The big message now is to eat healthier and steer clear of fast food. Too much of this stuff will kill you.
Okay, I get it. I know that Quarter Pounders and hot apple pies will clog my arteries and add chins to my face. But let's face it; McDonald's can be really tasty. Is there anything better than a large fries, fresh out of the bag? I don't think so. (Especially those stray, bonus fries that hide at the bottom of the bag.) Anyway, it's the whole aura of McDonald's that I miss. It wasn't just a meal, it was a destination.
When I was a kid, McDonald's had an alternate universe known as "McDonaldland". I never read Alice in Wonderland, so I couldn't tell you the difference between the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. However, I can tell you more about McDonaldland than I can about the very state of Connecticut that I live in. McDonaldland was the realm of Ronald McDonald, the Clown Prince of the franchise, but there was so much more to this magical place.
McDonaldland was ruled by a guy named Mayor McCheese. His head was a giant cheeseburger with eyes and a mouth. (I guess in McDonaldland, you are what you eat.) He also had a purple top hat and sash that signified his rank as a public servant. Besides representing the citizens of McDonaldland, he also represented cheeseburgers, and he was not shy about it. You might cringe at the thought of a politician with such overt biases, but I found it refreshing. There were no hidden agendas with The Mayor. You knew where he stood at all times. It was usually next to a table full of cheeseburgers.
The Mayor's right hand man, and enforcer, was a burley dude called Big Mac. Big Mac was a cop, one of McDonaldland's Finest, and he kept the peace. Big Mac was charged with protecting the citizens of The Land from the many dangers under the Golden Arches. His arch nemesis was a vile creature known as The Hamburglar. His true identity hidden behind a black mask, The Hamburglar was always in the shadows, terrorizing the hungry people of The Land by constantly stealing their food. Ever the enigma, the only words we ever heard from this fiend were "Robble, robble, robble." What did it mean? Was it a message, a warning, a threat? Or was his mouth just full of stolen hamburgers?
McDonaldland actually boasted a roster of villains that could rival that of Batman or Dick Tracy. There was Captain Crook, the pirate who loved Fillet of Fish and The Gobblins, whose insatiable appetite for French Fries kept McDonaldland in a constant state of high alert.
They weren't all bad though. There was also a host of friendly characters who inhabited this world, like The Professor, the lovable Grimace and later on, Birdie the Early Bird. (I'll deal with Birdie later.) Each was known for their love of a particular menu item, and as kids, we would rally behind the characters that stood for our favorites. I was always partial to the Grimace, myself.
Unfortunately, like many things in life, McDonaldland eventually lost its' shimmer. Maybe it started when that obnoxious Birdy showed up for breakfast and made us dread the sunrise. (The Early Bird gets the worm, and gets on my nerves. Nobody should be that cheery first thing in the morning.)
Then the Mcflood gates opened; The Gobblins became The Fry Guys and they even softened up the Hamburglar's look to be cuddly rather than sinister. By the time the anthropomorphic Chicken McNuggets showed up, it was all over… or maybe I had just out grown it all.
Now eating at McDonald's is different. It's just another place to grab a quick bite. The colorful characters have been replaced by apathetic servers who constantly screw up your order and charge you a quarter for an extra packet of sweet and sour sauce. It doesn't even taste as good as it used to. Never mind the guilt associated with eating that stuff. It's just not the same anymore.
But sometimes I sure wish I could go back in time and have one more Shamrock Shake in that special place where they always put the "happy" in Happy Meal.

I mean, repurpose it into a toy! Or into anything, for that matter
In an effort to be ever-more thrifty and green (and as stewards of God's creation, yes, that does matter), I've taken my recycling to a new level. I still keep the paper bag by the back door for all those paper scraps (including junk mail), I continue to flatten boxes, and ruthlessly separate out any and all recyclable plastics. But now I'm trying to find new uses for some of that stuff. Like all kids, Eowyn is soooo entertained by unconventional toys-- like they're more "grown-up" or something, so here's some things I've done. I can't wait to hear your ideas!
- large cylindrical coffee canisters w/ plastic lids -->as blocks & small toy containers; the advantage is that they roll, making very interesting noises when containing blocks, and they double as little stools. (For Eowyn, pretty much everything doubles as a stool)
- lids off juice & similar bottles --> colorful sorting objects (stored in rinsed-out baking powder containers with plastic lids). Rinsed off, these are a great cheap way to start learning color, to practice pulling in & out, and to just stack. Eowyn chooses this "toy" over all her others! (The lids are non-toxic, and are often non-recyclable anyway)
- empty spools of thread --> blocks (perfect for turrets on mini-castles). Eowyn also puts them in with her caps and loves cleaning them up & dumping them out... over and over again...
- mis-matched socks--> sock puppets! All it takes is drawn-on eyes, or 2 over-sized buttons VERY securely sewn on.
- paper still blank on one side--> great for all those daily "drawing projects"
Not toys, but more useful:
- holy socks--> either stitched up & turned into puppets, or cut off evenly and used as wrist or leg-warmers.
- glass jars w/ lids (salsa & the like)--> washed and used for food storage (who needs tupperware? =D), as glass won't absorb smells, and doesn't leak anything into food like plastic can. Dry-erase markers write on them and come right off!
- glass jars with lids--> great for beverages on-the-go for adults, like milk or water or kefir.
- plastic jars (peanut butter, etc.) --> used for a myriad of containing purposes. Most recently I've taken two in my shower for my homemade shampoo alternatives (baking soda & apple-cider vinegar suspensions). This way they won't shatter if they fall. Others are at Sunday School holding markers, crayons & pencils. Others have gone to friends in "mercy meals" containing sauces, dressings and soups.
The key to re-using anything is making sure it's easy to keep clean, with no sharp edges. Don't re-purpose anything that has held anything toxic (duh, I know). Also bear in mind whether or not it will be in situations where it could be dropped.
Please pass on any tips you have!

Visio utilizes Globally Unique Identifiers in the same manner that Microsoft does: as a mechanism for establishing a total uniqueness for any given object. In this manner, you can establish a reliable correspondence between a specific SmartShape symbol and an external source of data from a database. This is preferable to using sheet identifiers or symbol names.
A Globally Unique Identifier, or GUID, is stored internally as a 128-bit value and is passed as a null-terminated, 39-character string. Be aware that by default all masters have a GUID, but individual SmartShape symbols do not. If a SmartShape symbol or Master SmartShape symbol has a GUID, you may safely assume that no other SmartShape symbol or Master SmartShape symbol in the same Visio document or any other document has the same GUID. Visio generates GUIDs using the same technology that is used to generate OLE 2 GUIDs, and does not reuse them. The chances of generating duplicate GUIDs are remote, even on different systems. It is, however, possible to duplicate a GUID. For example, if you save a Visio drawing file and then make a copy of that file by any usual DOS methodology (copying in Windows Explorer, for example), the SmartShape symbols in that duplicate file are identical to the original file. If you then copy a SmartShape symbol from the copied diagram into the original diagram, you will have two SmartShape symbols with exactly the same GUID. If you copy a Master SmartShape symbol, it will have the same GUID as the original until you edit the Master SmartShape symbol and save the diagram.

Gold medal winning paralympian Mariyappan Thangavelu is not donating Rs.30 lakh to his school, the Government Higher Secondary School, as was highlighted by the media on Monday.
According to TOI, Thangavelu has plans for his school but he never said that he would donate Rs.30 lakh to it.
Social media was abuzz on Monday with the news that Thangavelu is donating this huge sum from the prize money he is getting following his historic achievement at the Rio Paralympic Games 2016.
Zee News
The TOI report quotes his school coach and mentor R Rajendiran saying that the Rs.30 lakh donation news could have been a rumour spread by his father Thangavelu.
"Mariyappan expressed his disappointment to me in the afternoon about the sequence of events. He told me he never said such things. It's his father who has probably spread such rumours. Maybe he is trying to patch up with his family again after the success of Mariyappan," Rajendiran said on Monday.
Mariyappan's father had abandoned his family some 10 years ago.

How are the themes of Lyddie and Bridge to Terabithia the same and different?What role does setting play in each novel? How are the novels similar in terms of style? Give examples.
- print Print
- list Cite
Lyddie and Bridge to Terabithia share many common themes, as do most of Katherine Patterson's books. Both are coming of age novels, where the protagonists must overcome obstacles both outside themselves and within their own characters in achieving maturity. For Lyddie, it is stubborn pride that she must reconcile. Fiercely independent, she faces responsibilities far beyond what she should have to deal with at her age, keeping her family together and fed when her father leaves and her mother sinks towards madness, yet she makes her situation even more difficult than it needs to be by refusing the help of those, like Mr. Stevens, who would come to her aid. For Jesse, the protagonist in Bridge to Terabithia, it is his tendency to be afraid that her must come to terms with. Through his friendship with Leslie, and her unconditional acceptance of him, he develops self-confidence and learns to work around his tendency to be reticent.
Family is another theme common to both books. Both Lyddie and Jess explicitly express their devotion to family through their treatment of their little sisters. Lyddie takes responsibility for her sister Rachel after her mother's death, and Jess resolves to nurture his sister Maybelle after Leslie is killed in the river.
A third common theme to the two books is the importance of books. Lyddie, who is barely literate, derives comfort and strength from nightly readings of Oliver Twist as rendered by her friend Betsy, and Jess finds a refuge in the imaginary world based on The Chronicles of Narnia created by Leslie.
Setting plays an important part in both stories. Both Lyddie and Jess live in rural environments in the eastern United Stattes, and both are profoundly affected by the times in which they live. Lyddie must deal with the restrictions placed upon women in the mid-1800s, and she experiences firsthand the horrific conditions women faced as part of the workforce in a newly industrial society. Jess, who lives in the turbulent 1960s, must reconcile the changing value systems presented by the hippie culture as represented by his music teacher and the Burke family as it clashes with the Christian but materialistic culture of his own family.
Both novels are narrated by the main characters, Lyddie and Jess, in a straightforward, honest style. Through the telling of their stories, the reader is given a sense of both the details of the narration, and the inner thoughts, impressions, and feelings of the protagonists.

Cameron has been keeping a low profile recently. She has no upcoming movie projects were excited to see whats in store for her next!
Cameron Diaz goes makeup-free while enjoying a trip to the salon for a mani-pedi on Friday (September 16) in Studio City, Calif.
The 44-year-old actress then headed to one of her favorite organic juice spots to pick up a drink before going home. How does she manage to keep so fresh at 44? Cameron Diaz stocked up on organic veggies,yeah guys there you have it,so if you want to stay fit and fresh in yyour 40s eat organic veggies.
When she's promoting movies on the red carpet, Cameron sports an array of uber glamorous looks by designers such as Victoria Beckham, Saint Laurent, The Row, Vionnet, Stella McCartney and Christian Dior, but when she's off duty you're more likely to find her hanging out by the beach in contemporary brands like Acne and Paige Denim.
