Colette O'Shea, Director of Development for Land Securities's London Portfolio, said: "To be the first major developer to state publicly that we are starting to deliver such a substantial development programme, demonstrates our financial strength and development capabilities as well as our confidence in the West End market. This significant investment will create new jobs and also deliver shareholder value.

DONETSK: Deadly clashes between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels threatened civilians in central Donetsk on Monday, with shelling hitting a hospital and warnings of insurgents launching attacks from residential areas.
Ukraine also made fresh accusations of Moscow backing the separatists, alleging that hundreds of Russian troops along with heavy weaponry crossed the border to join the fight.
And in the eastern city of Kharkiv, which has been generally spared fighting but where tensions are high between backers of Kiev and the pro-Russian separatists, 12 people were wounded in an explosion near a court where a pro-Western militant was being tried.
In Brussels on Monday, EU foreign ministers agreed there would be no change in the bloc's Russia policy, nor let-up in its sanctions.
The union's diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini warned the situation in the ex-Soviet republic was "much worse than in last weeks".
After a pause in the fighting early Monday as people celebrated Orthodox Epiphany, clashes reignited in the afternoon, with regular explosions heard coming from the direction of Donetsk's flashpoint airport.
The upsurge in violence in recent days has left a September truce in tatters, with heavy combat shaking the area at the weekend after Ukraine launched a major counter-offensive to push out the rebels.
However, the hospital hit on Monday is in the centre of Donetsk, and rebel officials who control the area reported six wounded, including one doctor and five patients. The front of the building was damaged and windows were blown out.
A university across from the hospital was also hit and there was speculation in the neighbourhood over whether the intended target was the nearby separatist security ministry.
Larissa Polyakova, who was nearby, said students were lucky not to have been being hit.
"Shells fell on the window," she said. "Miraculously, the students had left the room 15 minutes before. Can you imagine what would have happened if they were still inside?"
Elsewhere, in Debaltseve some 60 kilometres (around 40 miles) north of Donetsk, artillery fire killed three people on Monday and wounded 12, according to Ukrainian officials.
Concerns mounted over the fate of civilians, with rebels said to be launching attacks from residential areas and Ukrainian forces accused of returning fire.
"The use of heavily populated areas for launching attacks by pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Horlivka and the return of fire into these areas by pro-Kiev forces is putting civilian lives in great danger," Denis Krivosheev, deputy Europe and Central Asia programme director for Amnesty International, said in a statement.
Ukraine's military reported at least three soldiers killed over the last 24 hours and another 66 wounded, but claimed to be in control of the heavily damaged airport.
Rebels have disputed Kiev's account and there was no independent confirmation, with journalists unable to approach the site.
An adviser to Ukraine's president said rebels blew up part of a ceiling at the airport on Monday, causing a section to collapse, wounding many soldiers.
It was unclear whether the wounded were included in the toll reported earlier by the military and further details of the incident were not immediately clear.
With rebels at one point claiming to control the airport, Ukraine launched a massive counter-offensive with tanks and other heavy artillery at the weekend.
Kiev and Moscow traded blame for the breakdown of the ceasefire as the airport battle raged, while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon voiced alarm and called for an end to the violence.
Ukraine and Western nations say Russia has supported the rebels with troops and weapons, charges Moscow strongly denies despite witness claims to the contrary.
Kiev made fresh accusations on Monday, saying some 700 Russian troops had crossed the border into rebel-held territory earlier in the day.
"This morning, two groups of armed forces from the Russian Federation crossed the border," military spokesman Andriy Lysenko told AFP.
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said they were accompanied by "tanks, Howitzer (artillery), Grad and Smerch (rocket launchers) and Buk (missiles)".

Latest update April 23rd, 2018 11:31 AM
May 02, 2017 Top Stories 0
DOHA: Hamas unveiled a new policy document Monday easing its stance on Israel after having called for years for the country´s destruction, as the Palestinian movement seeks to improve its international standing.
The move comes ahead of a first face-to-face meeting on Wednesday between US President Donald Trump and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, whose Fatah party remains deeply divided from Hamas.
The document was unveiled in the Qatari capital Doha by exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, who is due to step down soon after serving his maximum of two terms.
Speaking to media, Meshaal said he hoped the new US administration would "act with more seriousness on the Palestinian cause and change its misconceptions about the Palestinian people."
The press conference was also broadcast live in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian enclave controlled by Hamas, and the document was posted on the movement´s website.
"We in Hamas believe that renewal and reinvention is a necessity," Meshaal said at the event in a Doha hotel.
While the new document does not amount to recognition of Israel as demanded by the international community, Hamas officials say, it formally softens its stance in a few key areas.
Hamas leaders have long spoken of the more limited aim of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip without explicitly setting this out in their charter.
But after years of internal debate, the new document formally accepts the idea of a state in the territories occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967.
It also says its struggle is not against Jews because of their religion but against Israel as an occupier.
"We are not fighting against the Jews because they are Jewish," said Meshaal. "We are waging this struggle against the aggression of Zionists."
However, the original 1988 charter will not be dropped, just supplemented, in a move some analysts see as a way of maintaining the backing of hardliners.
Asked if Hamas would negotiate directly with Israelis, Meshaal replied: "Our policy is we will not engage in direct negotiations with the Israelis because nothing in the conditions and circumstances convinces us that any conclusions can be reached."
Direct talks is "a process, it´s a game we will not fall for it."
The new document also continues to speak of liberating historic Palestine, including areas that are today part of Israel.
Hamas is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the United States and the European Union, and the new document is aimed in part at easing its international isolation.
'More moderate'
One Hamas leader, Ahmed Yusef, earlier told media the updated charter was "more moderate, more measured and would help protect us against accusations of racism, anti-Semitism and breaches of international law."
It also does not refer to the Muslim Brotherhood, to which Hamas was closely linked when formed.
Israel was not convinced, however, with a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying "Hamas is attempting to fool the world, but it will not succeed."
"They dig terror tunnels and have launched thousands upon thousands of missiles at Israeli civilians," David Keyes said in a statement, referring to rockets fired from Gaza and tunnels used to carry out attacks.
Israel and Palestinians in Gaza have fought three wars since 2008.
The strip has been under an Israeli blockade for 10 years.
UN officials have called for this to be lifted, citing deteriorating humanitarian conditions, but Israel says it is needed to stop Hamas from obtaining weapons or materials it could use to make them.
Hamas remains deeply divided from Abbas´s Fatah, and speculation has mounted over who will succeed the 82-year-old as Palestinian president.
Abbas´s first meeting with Trump in Washington takes place on Wednesday.
The bitter split between Fatah and Hamas has taken a new turn in recent days.
Some analysts say it seems Abbas is seeking to increase pressure on Hamas in the impoverished Gaza Strip, but he risks being blamed for worsening conditions in the enclave of two million people.
In one example, Israeli officials say the Palestinian Authority dominated by Abbas´s Fatah has begun refusing to pay Israel for electricity it supplies to Gaza.
Rights activists say exacerbating an already severe power shortage in the strip could be catastrophic.

Equally certain is a second observation of a general character that the epic originating as the greater portion of the literature in Assur-bani-pal's collection in Babylonia is a composite product, that is to say, it consists of a number of independent stories or myths originating at different times, and united to form a continuous narrative with Gilgamesh as the central figure.

To discourage the sinking of wells on land immediately adjoining productive territory, it has been usual to drill along the borders of the land as far as practicable, in order to first obtain the oil which might otherwise be raised by others; and on account of the small area often controlled by the operator, the number of wells drilled has frequently been far in excess of the number which might reasonably be sunk.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.CHARLES D. GREEN, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. PHILIP
ROMITI, Judge, presiding.
1. Arson in violation of section 20-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 38, par. 20-1).
2. Attempt (arson) in violation of section 8-4 of the Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 38, par. 8-4).
3. Possession of explosives in violation of section 20-2 of the Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 38, par. 20-2). *fn1
After a jury trial, defendant was found guilty of attempt (arson) and possession of explosives, and was sentenced to ten to fourteen years on the first conviction and fifteen to twenty years on the second, the sentences to run concurrently.
1. The trial court erred in ruling that defendant was given the proper Miranda warnings.
2. The pipe bomb seized during his initial arrest, the posters seized during his second arrest, and his oral and written statements given after his second arrest should have been suppressed as the fruits of illegal arrests, searches and seizures.
3. Count II of the indictment fails to charge an offense.
4. The court's instruction to the jury defined the offense of possession of explosives in a manner broader than the indictment.
5. Defendant was denied due process when the court denied his request to be informed, prior to its admission, of the contents of the oral statement made to police.
6. The trial court improperly limited cross-examination of Officer Baker by not allowing impeachment by omission.
7. Defendant was denied a fair trial by the improper reference to a shotgun during the direct examination of Officer Baker and during the State's closing argument.
8. Defendant was denied a fair trial by the prosecutor's improperly presenting to the jury evidence of a crucial witness' physical injury.
9. Defendant was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
10. The prosecutor's final argument was improper and denied defendant a fair trial.
11. Two sentences are improper since the crimes of attempt (arson) and possession of explosives arose out of the same conduct or transaction.
At the hearing on the motion to suppress the written and oral statements and the pipe bomb, the following witnesses testified:
Fred Herr, for the State:
He is a Chicago police officer. On July 19, 1968, he was driving his car on a routine patrol near the Hartigan Oil Company premises, and he observed a car parked on the street. He saw a male, later identified as Stephen Johnson, walking in an open field approximately one block west of the Hartigan property and about thirty feet from the car. When he was 100 feet from Johnson, he turned on his spotlight. He saw a thin, hair-line reflection which made it appear that Johnson was carrying a rifle. Johnson attempted to conceal the object with his body. He saw Johnson walk to the car and place the object in the trunk. Herr approached the car and ordered the two individuals inside the car, Paul Martin (alias James Anderson) and defendant, to get out. He asked Johnson to identify himself and present proof of ownership of the car, which Johnson did. When asked what he was doing in the field, Johnson first said "nothing" and then that he was "taking a leak." After another squad car arrived, Herr searched the trunk of the car and recovered a pipe bomb. The three men were then arrested. Defendant and Anderson were charged with disorderly conduct and Johnson with possession of explosives.
Vernon Clifford Baker, for the State:
He is a Chicago police officer. After investigating a fire reported on the Hartigan Oil Company premises, the police discovered that the pipe bomb recovered from under an oil tanker truck and the pipe bomb recovered from the trunk of the Johnson car were made from the same cold rolled steel, had the same powder source, the same wick source, and the same fuse cap. Upon completing their investigation, including an examination of prior arrest sheets, the police served defendant with a warrant for his arrest at his YMCA hotel room on July 26, 1968. Officer Baker read defendant the Miranda warnings of his constitutional rights concerning police interrogation. The officer then seized several posters which were hanging on the walls of defendant's room.
In transit to the police station, defendant told Baker and Officer Sheridan that "they wanted to cause a lot of disturbance, that they wanted to injure and kill a lot of people, and wanted to cause a lot of property damage and upset the forthcoming Democratic National Convention."
Upon arriving at the police station, Baker again read defendant his full Miranda warnings from a card and defendant read the card himself. Defendant then gave a written statement in which he claimed that he had told his two companions he did not want to participate in the fire bombing; that the other two placed the bomb under the fuel tank; and that he was a party to a plan whereby the three pooled their money so that Anderson could make his bond and be set free to pick up the bomb left under the ...

All of my female psychotherapy clients think they are too fat. This has been true for at least the past five years; probably longer.
This is not exactly headline news, of course. The cultural pressure on women to be thin is well known. However, since most of my clients are writers, I think this phenomenon warrants further exploration.
I have worked with a few male clients who were concerned about their weight, too. Usually, their concerns centered on health issues thought to be associated with overweight: cardiac problems, diabetes, or lower back pain. The topics of attractiveness and social acceptance seldom came up.
Some of my women clients might be healthier and more comfortable physically if they were ten or twenty pounds lighter. But that isn't the primary concern they express. Heterosexual women worry that their husbands and boyfriends no longer find them attractive. Several women have reported humiliation by strangers who complain that their "thunder thighs" take up too much space on the subway, or by physicians who refuse to believe that their symptoms could be caused by factors other than gluttony and sloth—even though recent medical research suggests that weight is determined more by genetic factors than by personal effort and willpower and that for people in otherwise good health, being a few pounds overweight is preferable to being underweight.
My own weight was in the average range for most of my adult life, until a brush with serious illness (detailed in Feed Me) caused me to lose over 20 pounds, along with a great deal of hair, stamina, and resistance to disease. Despite eating normally, I have never regained my weight or much of my health. But I very seldom have to endure disparaging remarks about my size or admonitions that my medical issues would disappear if I would only exercise some discipline and drink more milkshakes. On the contrary, I find myself the object of friends' and acquaintances' expressed envy, and of sudden sexual attention from men who previously related to me only as my son's mother, their wife's friend, or that woman who always asks for Tahitian Blue fountain pen ink in the large bottle.
Healthy, beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and I certainly don't claim that large, curvaceous bodies are more "adult" or "legitimate" than those that are smaller or more angular. However, it's hard not to see the increasing fetishization of slenderness as a collective wish that uppity women would return to a state of preadolescent innocence, dependency, and powerlessness.
What does all of this have to do with writing?
No matter what we know intellectually, these attitudes tend to penetrate. And internalizing the message that in order to be acceptable, we must make ourselves smaller, weaker and more childlike can affect creativity in profound ways.
It is hard for my overweight clients to shrug off the message that they are not acceptable as they are; it is hard for me to ignore the signals that I am more attractive and desirable now than when I was robust and athletic, when my hair shone and my skin glowed.
It's hard to take in the message that we are too large, too much, and take up too much space—and then to raise our voices and boldly express potentially incendiary ideas in our writing. It's hard to be told that we must ignore the signals of our own bodies, but must instead starve and malnourish ourselves so that we won't be hideous in others' eyes—and then to find the physical and emotional strength to attend to and record our authentic feelings and beliefs.
Life is too fragile, beautiful, and important for this
nonsense. If we are to write authentically and live fully, we need to be too
big, too much; to take up space; to listen to and express our inner truths
even—or especially—when they conflict with accepted standards. We need to
convert the energy we spend planning and executing diet regimes, plodding away
on the treadmill, and flagellating ourselves for perceived lapses into the
creation of ambitious, audacious novels, earth-shaking lovemaking, fierce love

This year 376 candidates – 228 individuals and 148 organisations – are vying for the award – a record number nominated for the 2016 Nobel peace prize, to be announced on Friday.
Here are some which UK's Guardian thinks have a chance:
Syrian White Helmets
During the past five years of war in Syria, the White Helmets, a group of volunteer rescue workers, have run towards bombs in opposition-held areas to rescue tens of thousands – by some estimates up to 60,000 people – from the ruins and battlefields.
There has been no more dangerous place in the world to be a first responder for most of that time. The ranks of the group, made up of pre-war Syria's middle classes, have lost 160 of their own, most killed by jets that have returned to target buildings they had already bombed.
They are the first on the scene of any airstrike, picking through rubble and cradling the dead and injured, wearing the distinctive white helmets that gave them their name. Their motto throughout Syria's withering conflict has been "to save one life is to save all of humanity".
Angela Merkel
Were Angela Merkel to win the Nobel peace prize it would hang like an albatross around her neck. When the German chancellor was a hot contender for it in 2015 in the light of her open-door refugee policy, there was strong domestic opposition to her receiving it, with 73% of Germans saying she had not earned it, according to one poll.
Privately, Merkel was supposed to have expressed her relief that she didn't get it, believing it would have restricted the style of her chancellorship.
The jury in Germany is still out on whether the course she has put the country is the right one and any feeling the electorate gets, before next year's general election, that the international community is pushing for Merkel's re-election, could badly backfire.
The refugee politics for which she is so praised outside of Germany, is also at the heart of ordinary Germans' worries. They are asking whether the influx of refugees – more than 1 million last year, and several hundreds of thousands expected by the end of this year – is making Germany a less secure place. They also worry about the impact of refugees on integration, gender equality, public services and the labour market.
Merkel is under huge pressure to show her government is able to deal with such concerns. In his speech to the UN refugee summit in New York in September Barack Obama thanked Merkel and the Germans for their efforts in dealing with the refugee crisis, an example of the moral pressure Merkel is under to ensure she does not do a U-turn despite growing domestic pressure.
Merkel would be the first to agree that she does not need a Nobel peace prize to add to the pressure, and the jury should do her and Germany a favour by waiting at the very least, until she retires, writes Kate Connoly of Guardian.
Pope Francis
No pope has ever won the Nobel peace prize before, but Francis is seen as a frontrunner for the accolade this year.
Since becoming pontiff three and a half years ago, he has won the hearts of millions of people – not only Catholics – across the world for the strong stance he has taken on issues such as refugees, poverty and climate change.
Francis has repeatedly implored heads of states and citizens to offer a generous welcome to refugees. In April, the pope visited the Greek island of Lesbos to say to refugees who had made a perilous land and sea journey to safety: "I am here to tell you, you are not alone." He underlined his message by offering sanctuary to 12 refugees in the Vatican, leading them up the steps of the papal plane.
On climate change, he has described man's destruction of the environment as a sin and accused mankind of turning the planet into a "polluted wasteland full of debris, desolation and filth".
His encyclical, Laudato Si, called on the richest nations to pay their "grave social debt" to the poor, saying the world was beginning to resemble a "pile of filth" due to the recklessness of industry and lack of concrete action by states. He has also called capitalism the "dung of the devil".
His radical comments have dismayed some traditionalists in the church. But there are many liberals who argue that the pope's compassion for the poor and his environmental credentials are outweighed by his unbending support for traditional Catholic teaching on abortion and birth control. Harriet Sherwood
Greek islanders
If the islanders of Greece win this year's Nobel peace prize it will not be because any of them wanted to. On the frontline of the biggest movement of humanity in modern times, the residents of Lesbos – to name but one of the isles – were nominated for opening their homes to Syrian refugees despite the economic hardship they have been forced to endure with Greece's economic near-collapse.
Though the Nobel committee does not release names of nominees, it is known that three people have been proposed for the prize as symbolic representatives of the Greek volunteers. Two are residents of Skala Skamnias, a tiny fishing village within view of the Turkish coast and the site of many rescues last year. Emilia Kamvissi, 85, watched the crisis unfold from her seafront home. Kamvissi, whose father came to Greece as a refugee in 1922, embodied the enormous compassion exhibited by locals when she was caught on camera bottle-feeding a Syrian baby.
Fisherman Stratis Valiamos, 40, was also nominated for saving hundreds of people from drowning as their dinghies struggled in the perilous crossing from Turkey. "People say 'you're a hero,' but this isn't heroism, it's the normal thing to do," he said.
Also nominated is actor Susan Sarandon, who spent Christmas on Lesbos and was put forward as a representative of the thousands of volunteers, NGOs and charity organisations that rushed to the island at the height of the crisis.
"Let's hope they do win," said Nikos Xydakis, Greece's deputy foreign minister for European affairs. "What we saw was ordinary people, with no order from above, respecting tradition and acting out of sheer hospitality and solidarity. What they did shows the best of humanity in the simplest way, writes Helena Smith.
Juan Manuel Santos and Timochenko
The Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, and the leader of the leftist Farc rebel group, Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, were considered leading contenders for the awards for signing a peace deal last month to end 52 years of war.
Their chances appear to have been dealt a fatal blow however following a referendum on Sunday that narrowly rejected the deal. The pair may have to redouble their negotiating efforts.
Every government since the 1980s has attempted to end the war with the Farc, which rose up against the Colombian state in 1964. A deal was finally made between Santos, who has been president since 2010 and staked his political legacy on negotiating an end to the country's internal conflict, and Londoño, who took over as leader of the rebels in 2011, and at one point had a $5m bounty on his capture from the US, reported Sibylla Brodzinsky.

Treating cancer can be a painful, drawn-out process, and there's no guarantee of a cure. Unfortunately, there's no magic pill that can get rid of cancer, or prevent it from occurring in the first place. That hasn't stopped a number of companies from making unproven promises about products they claim will remedy everything from AIDS to diabetes.

FDA Warns 14 Companies For Selling Unproven Cancer 'Cures'
Treating cancer can be a painful, drawn-out process, and there's no guarantee of a cure. Unfortunately, there's no magic pill that can get rid of cancer, or prevent it from occurring in the first place. That hasn't stopped a number of companies from making unproven promises about products they claim will remedy everything from AIDS to diabetes.
Senators Urge FDA To Ban Possible Carcinogen Found In Shampoo, Lotion
You might not be familiar with "1,4-Dioxane" but it's a chemical component commonly used in everyday products, such as shampoos, lotions, and cosmetics. It may also cause cancer, which is why a pair of U.S. Senators are urging the Food & Drug Administration to begin the process of eliminating this chemical from consumer products. [More]
Trader Joe's Applesauce Recalled Because Apples Don't Contain Glass
There are number of things you can put in applesauce to give it a bit of a kick: cinnamon, brown sugar, but definitely not glass. Yet, Trader Joe's is recalling its applesauce over concerns it might contain that dangerous, unwanted ingredient.
Legislation Would Give FDA Mandatory Authority To Recall Drugs
Last month, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed that it had found varying and elevated levels of a potentially deadly toxin in teething tablets sold under the Hyland's brand. Despite the dangers posed by the tablets, the FDA couldn't order a recall of the products — and the manufacturer refused to. But that could change in the future, as recently introduced legislation would give the agency the authority to order mandatory recalls of drugs and homeopathic products. [More]
Guggisberg Cheeses Join Listeria Contamination Recall List
Yet another brand of cheese has fallen victim to an ongoing listeria contamination: Guggisberg Cheese has recalled a dozen types of Colby type cheese products. [More]
A Supplement Company Sued Over Research It Didn't Like… And Lost
Unlike FDA-approved medications, makers of dietary supplements are not required to demonstrate that their products are safe or effective. That shouldn't stop independent researchers from doing their own tests to find out if a product works or is dangerous, but when one Harvard professor tried to do just that, supplement makers tried to shut him up.. [More]
FDA Recommends Limiting Lead In Lipstick & Other Cosmetic Products
Though no one really wants to hear they are putting lead into or on their bodies, the fact is that many cosmetics contain low levels of lead. While the amount of lead in your lipstick might be too low to do any harm, the Food and Drug Administration is still taking steps to further limit the amount of the chemical found in such products. [More]
Senator: Regulators Should Investigate E-Cigarette Explosions, Issue Recalls
Despite their popularity, e-cigarettes are a "ticking time bomb" that should be more closely investigated by federal regulators and recalled if necessary, according to New York Senator Chuck Schumer. [More]
Judge Gives Initial Approval To $26M Settlement For Claims That WEN Products Caused Hair Loss
In July, we heard that the Food and Drug Administration was investigating reports of hair loss, balding, itching, and rash associated with using celebrity stylist Chaz Dean's hair care products, sold by a company called WEN. Now, a federal judge in Los Angeles has given preliminary approval to a $25 million settlement that resulted from a class-action lawsuit more than 200 customers filed against the company. [More]
Nutella's Makers Want To Convince FDA That Chocolate Spread Isn't Just For Dessert
When you think of sweet, hazelnut chocolate spread, are you imagining eating it for breakfast or for dessert? If you're in the latter camp, you agree with the current stance of federal regulators. The makers of Nutella are now trying to make the case, however, that the spread should be considered more of a breakfast item. [More]
Good Earth Egg Products Recalled After Spate Of Salmonella Illnesses
Missouri-based Good Earth Egg Company has issued a recall for a variety of egg products that health officials have connected to an outbreak of salmonella in three states.
Kellogg's Recalls Some Eggo Waffles Over Possible Listeria Contamination
If you've yet to sit down at the table for a morning meal, you might want to make sure it doesn't include a certain kind of Kellogg's Eggo Waffles. After all, listeria is neither tasty, nor safe to consume. [More]
FDA Warns Dozens Of Retailers Caught Selling E-Cigs, Liquid Nicotine To Minors
The Food and Drug Administration recently finalized rules making it clear that e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine are, just like traditional cigarettes, not to be sold to people under the age of 18. Now the FDA is putting dozens of retailers on notice that they were caught allegedly selling these products to minors. [More]
Makers Of E-Cigarettes And Pricey Cigars Want To Avoid FDA Approval And Regulation
Until earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration didn't have authority to regulate some new or unusual smokeable products that have been growing in popularity, like premium cigars, hookah tobacco, vaping products, and e-cigarettes. However, the industries behind these products are fighting regulation with lobbyists, hoping to do away with the new rule. [More]
Pre-Cut Veggies Sold In Walmart, Publix, 6 Other Stores, Recalled Over Listeria Concerns
Picking up a package of pre-cut, pre-washed fresh vegetables at the grocery store can make preparing dinner (lunch or breakfast) a bit easier. Unless, of course, you could get sick from those convenient vegetables. Walmart, Publix, and six other retailers have recalled packages of pre-cut veggies over listeria contamination concerns. [More]
Regardless Of Price, Don't Buy Your EpiPen On eBay
With the price of emergency allergy treatment EpiPen jumping nearly 600% in less than a decade, bringing the out-of-pocket cost for some patients to $600 for a two-pack, it's perhaps not surprising that sketchy eBay sellers are claiming to offer the prescription medication at a discount, even though it's against eBay policy, illegal, and just a really, really, really awful idea. [More]
The FDA Doesn't Actually Have The Power To Recall Cosmetics That Harm People
Last month, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would be investigating claims from consumers that the "cleansing conditioner" Wen, purportedly developed by celebrity hairstylist Chaz Dean, had caused scalp irritation and even made some users' hair fall out. The FDA looked into the situation after receiving 127 complaints about the product, but didn't know that the marketer, Proactiv maker Guthy-Renker, had received more than 21,000 complaints about the product that it wasn't obligated to report to the FDA.

Ways and Means are a series of texts by Orage ambassadors that express their lifestyle and the way they manage everyday obligations and their infinite love for the mountains.
Text by Jess Oundijan
Featured image by John Entwistle (www.instagram.com/entwistlephoto/)
We all love pro skiers, those incredible humans that we witness blowing apart the boundaries of what's possible on two planks. We live vicariously through their Instagram accounts and POV helmet cam shots, fueled by energy drink sponsors and heli drops. These athletes are awesome, but in reality not many of us can actually claim to have outrun an avalanche on an Alaskan spine, or nose butter triple corked our way to X Games glory.
At the other end of the spectrum, we have tourist skiers. The hard working families who dedicate one or two weeks a year to the mountains. They teach their kids to pizza and french fry, battle the crowds for inbounds powder turns, and Jerry their way into the hearts of ski bums across the world when their questionable style and unfortunate mishaps are captured on film.
Somewhere in the middle, however, you will find another cross section of mountain dwellers. The people that live and work to fund their all-encompassing snow addiction. They dedicate their lives to exploring, photographing, filming, or competing in the mountains because they can't imagine a life where skiing was not a part of their daily routine. These people receive grassroots support from brands that appreciate their passion and they provide the day-to-day face of the ski industry.
There are a myriad of different ways and means to fund a mountain lifestyle and this series of blogs will introduce you to some of the Orage ambassadors and how each of them handles that elusive balance of work and play.
To begin with, here is my small contribution to the story. This year I have found myself working part-time as a lodge girl for a heli-skiing operation near Revelstoke. For a week or two at a time, I am flown out in a heli to live and work in a remote mountain lodge. Our guests spend a week being dropped at the top of fresh powder runs, fed gourmet food and pampered to their heart's delight.
My life at the lodge is much less glamorous but it makes up for it with, let's be honest, some pretty outrageous perks. The mornings are full on, with breakfast service, bed making, kitchen prep, dishwashing, room tidying and bathroom cleaning. Lots of bathroom cleaning. Most evenings are spent at table with our guests, wining and dining them, enjoying three course meals and often joining them at the bar after dinner. It's a fun, friendly, hardworking atmosphere that definitely does not suck.
However the real fun begins when that radio call comes in from the guides in the field. "Staff ski spot. 15 minutes." Everyone hears it. The expectation rises as we look to see who's at the top of the list. Then, if it's your lucky day, the boss calls your name. "Hey Jess, wanna go skiing?"
Like a rocket you're off, throwing on your gear and running to the helipad. You crouch low and shield your face as the heli touches down, then hop in and buckle up. Within minutes you've gone from armfuls of carrot peelings to facefuls of fluffy pow, and the smile on your face is an accurate reflection of the fact.
Now don't get me wrong, we're not getting dropped on top of ski movie lines, and we respect our paying guests by skiing at the back of the group. However some groups are stronger than others and I certainly won't forget the day I got to chase a bunch of Jackson Hole locals and German ex ski racers down a stacked pillow field.
It may only be one afternoon a week, on a good week it could be two or three times, but those afternoons getting ferried to fresh pow with a group of smiling faces definitely make the sweat and toil of the mornings worthwhile. Plus, last December was one of the snowiest that British Columbia has had in years, and I can assure you, I got pitted.

Here are a sample of genuine reviews from visitors who have stayed at our camping retreat and left reviews on the following websites, click on the relevant site to read full list:
Hillfort Tipis voted No1 in the Telegraph, "incredible campsite that will convert you to canvas"
Cool Camping UK
Fantastic experience, beautiful location and a campsite owner that would do anything to make your stay enjoyable! Locally their are beautiful beaches, quaint little towns and stunning places to eat and drink. Then in the evening, relax around the campfire with a glass of wine, or chill in the hot tub. This really was an experience like no other, the nature of the site is such that it feels like you are camping in the wild, surrounded by flowering gorse, bluebells and medow grass. A quick walk to the rocky outcrop above the site gives you mind blowing 360 degree views of the Pembrokeshire countryside and coastline and the Strumblehead lighthouse. On site there is a cabin with showers in, a fridge freezer, charging point, kettle and sink. There are also portaloos that are cleaned at least once a day. The glamping spots also have a small kitchen shed with all the basics inside and the owner John is happy to help with anything else you need. On arrival we realised we had forgotten out tent poles, however, John came to the rescue with spare tents that he helped us put up, and fresh eggs for breakfast and a freshly caught sea bass for our dinner!During our trip we visited Pembroke Castle, Barafundle Bay, Blue Lagoon at Abereidi, we went kyaking at Whitesands, had fresh crab at The Sloop, went on a boat trip to Ramsey Island and wandered round St Davids. A wonderful week, can't wait to book our next visit.

Amazing experience here last year, was a beautiful location and really enjoyed having the opportunity to have a real campfire and appreciated the little extras and provisions provided by the staff. Would highly recommend this location as a fantastic rural camping experience, very family orientated and the kids loved it!
This is an awesome site if you like space, real fires and simple facilities."
"This place was a perfect get away in a beautiful location!!
this our second trip to the tipis and I was slightly concerned that things may have slipped over the last 3 years but if anything…it was even better! This site is glorious. Just 3 fellow tippiers on site although we were attached to a smaller campsite who shared the facilities. Perfect views across the Pembrokeshire and located in absolute quietness. The tipis are all Morrocan stylee rugs and low beds. The adjacent kitchen shed is genius. Every home should have one! Plenty of lanterns and solar lights to give ambience, this is not luxury glamping and those who expect such a thing may be disappointed. The toilet/shower is probably in need of some out of seaon attention but it was always scuprously clean.Its actually much more than that…. We returned home from a beautiful part of Wales feeling reinvigourated and genuinely relaxed. Stayed August 2016, travelled with family
This place was a perfect get away in a beautiful location!! Stayed for one week in a yurt! It was amazing and our three boys enjoyed all the space to run about with fellow little campers!!! John the owner goes above and beyond workingrelentlessly to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable!!! Thank you guys for a lovely stay x overall 5.0 out of 5

We ended the last hour by mentioning that any object that can be selected can be animated. Let's say you have a particular fact that's worth highlighting, such as the sales total for a particular individual in our chart.
Wouldn't that be a great spot for a flying arrow? You already know how to animate them. Now let's learn how to create these objects correctly and efficiently (see Figure 14.2).

Positive Discipline for Preschoolers
Positive Discipline for Preschoolers- Raising Children Who Are Responsible, Respectful, and Resourceful by Jane Nelsen
(click the title to see the book on Amazon)
This book was recommended to me years ago in college. I checked it out at the library and loved it so much that I had to buy it. It is DEFINITELY a life saver in my family. Every so often I notice my four year old getting a bit too unruly and have to pull this well loved book off the shelf and revisit the principles that work so AMAZINGLY!! If you have children or work with children this book is a must!

This lesson provides a script to follow to compose an effective cold call, a phone call you make to introduce yourself to a new contact. You will be guided to personalize the script by plugging in information about you, your company and the services your company has to offer. Additional script templates provide follow-up question to ask when your contact is interested in meeting with you. One final script tells you what to say and ask when your contact does not want to meet.
Practice reading the following script with your company information.
"Hi (name), this is (your name) with (company name). (Company name) specializes in providing (service), and I think we could help your company with (service). I'd like to talk with you about that if you have a few minutes."
–> If the person says"yes," follow up with these questions:
- How do you currently solve (problem)?
- What are your biggest problems with your current strategy?
- How often do you…?
- Do you need…?
- Could you benefit from (service)?
- If we could show you how we address (stated problem) would you be interested in taking the time to see our product?
They are interested.–> You say, "When are you available to meet?" (schedule meeting)
They are not interested. –> You say, "Thank you for your time. Have a great day."

Trust can't withdraw treatment for tetraplegic woman even though insurer has promised a safety net in that eventBMJ 2010; 341 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.c6217 (Published 02 November 2010) Cite this as: BMJ 2010;341:c6217

A primary care trust acted unlawfully in trying to cut off a care package for a young woman with tetraplegia after she reached a settlement over her road traffic accident claim, the High Court has ruled in a test case closely watched by other trusts.
Judge Mark Pelling, sitting as a High Court judge in Manchester, said that the NHS Constitution guaranteed access for all, regardless of the ability to pay.
Alyson Booker, aged 19, settled her claim over the crash, which happened nearly 10 years ago, for a lump sum of £2.95m (€3.4m; $4.7m) and £247 500 a year, index linked, to …

Besides the fact that I can't stand this town a great majority of the time, the only real good thing about it is that we have a really awesome group of people who form and put together what they call DIY SLO, which is basically an effort with a Do-It-Youself mentality that produces local shows with both known and newer bands. So rad. This time around, they brought to us locals King Walrus & The Magicians, and then Froth, Tomorrows Tulips, and the stars of the night, Cosmonauts.
Cosmonauts' set was amazing as usual, carrying the attitude that I wish I had. Raw, gritty, unapologetic with electrifying rock and roll. Tomorrows Tulips were completely chill and vibe-y, mainly focusing on songs off their new album, Experimental Jelly. Froth was the only band that I would be seeing for the first time, and they did not disappoint. You can tell a lot about a band if seeing them live makes you want to go home and search for every song they've made and replay it over and over again.
The lineup was complimented with my favorite setting. A house show that was intimate, hot, sweaty, loud, and bursting with raw energy and a whole lot of reverb. Seriously, that's just a recipe for happiness.

On Monday I will be attempting to take all of this to the recycling plant. By my estimates it will take me 2 1/2 car loads (in my 4runner!) to get it all there.
We have saved up all of these from:
walking around the stadium after ball games
24 hour fitness (they have a ton of H20 bottles)
our friends!!!
Thank you again KJ, E, Curly and our parents.

Since receiving the Miss Canada Senior 36" wingspan model kit back in May I have been distracted and not been able to devote much time to model building. However, this weekend I found enough time to sand down the tail and wing surfaces and finally glue the main wings together.
My main quibble with the main wing design is that the left and right wings really require more strengthening when joining them together with the required dihedral, and I am still wondering if I need to put ply supports in just to make sure the wing is fully rigid at the centre.
I need to just to add the triangular wing fillets to ensure the wings won't warp and then they are ready for covering. I think I will do the wing tips, tail and stabilizer in red with the rest of the wing and fuselage in white.

Dealers need to be confident that their website works just as well on a smartphone and on a tablet as it does on a computer.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 16, 2013
AutoManager, a dealer software company, announced the release of several major enhancements to its mobile websites for auto dealers Tuesday.
The company released an update to WebManager, its website and online marketing tool, that gave mobile websites prominent buttons for calling the dealer, emailing the dealer, and getting turn-by-turn directions to the dealership. AutoManager CEO Kami Tafreshi said the changes would help WebManager dealers provide "a top-notch shopping experience for mobile visitors."
In addition to these enhancements, which have been rolled out to all WebManager customers, Tafreshi also announced a new option for dealers to upgrade to a Premium mobile website. These websites create consistent branding using the dealer's unique logo, custom color schemes and expanded fonts. They also create more lead potential with a "Share" button that allows mobile visitors to email a link to the listing or post it on Facebook and Twitter, and a "Schedule Visit" button for requesting test drives and service appointments. And they give vehicle shoppers one-click access to a dealer's social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ Local so they can receive updates about sales promotions, new inventory and more.
Premium mobile websites are a one-time $295 upgrade to any WebManager plan.
Tafreshi said Premium mobile websites give dealers an enhanced level of design and functionality that rivals that of traditional websites. A strong mobile experience has become increasingly important in 2013, a year when Cisco predicts the number of web-connected mobile devices will surpass the world's population.
"Statistics tell us the flow of car buyers is shifting dramatically from desktop internet browsing to mobile browsing," Tafreshi said. "Dealers need to be confident that their website works just as well on a smartphone and on a tablet as it does on a computer."
Basic WebManager subscriptions start at $360 for six months and include exports to over 100 online marketplaces, eBay integration, automatic posting to Craigslist, analytics/price comparison tools, a vehicle video generator and more. Inventory can be added via any computer with an internet connection or the free AutoManager.Mobile app for iPhone® and Android™ mobile devices.
About the Company
AutoManager is a DMS, online vehicle marketing and dealer website provider with over 25 years of experience helping independent and franchise dealers increase sales and business productivity. AutoManager now serves over 6,000 users across the U.S. and Canada.
DeskManager DMS and the WebManager online marketing platform are scalable solutions for car, truck, boat, RV and even airplane dealers. Both are priced aggressively to satisfy the needs of small independents, and can be expanded with a litany of high tech add-ons that allow them to serve the needs of larger franchise dealers. Above all else, AutoManager takes pride in its reputation for excellent post-sale support and service.

Remington R1 Carry 1911 Pistol – SHOT Show 2013
Several years ago Remington returned to its handgun-producing roots with the introduction of the R1. This year the company continues to evolve the lineup, adding the R1 Carry to an already proven stable of .45 ACP-chambered 1911s. Subtle changes, built upon the reliability of a five- inch barrel, make this handgun more carry friendly than the R1 or R1 enhanced. Bad guys don't knock off at dusk, so the R1 Carry remedies target acquisition in poor lighting conditions by using Novak sights with a tritium Night Sight up front. Speed of presentation is critical, but a handgun's sharp edges love to hang up on covering garments at the worst possible moment. With a de-horned frame and slide, the R-1 Carry minimizes that concern. Purchase in the worst of environmental conditions is enhanced with 25-lpi checkering on the beavertail backstrap safety (with memory bump), frontstrap and mainspring housing. Cocobolo grip panels and skeletonized adjustable trigger provide the kind of look it's a shame to keep concealed, but the lowered and flared ejection port and target crown speak volumes about Remington's dedication to reliability, regardless of "fashion." Overall length is 8.5 inches, rate of twist is 1 in 16 inches and it ships with a pair of magazines--one seven-rounder and a bumper-padded eight-round version. I've never considered an ambidextrous safety ideal for 1911 carry, but it's there for southpaws. MSRP is $1,299.

Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6×24 Tactical/3-Gun & Viper PST First Focal Plane – SHOT Show 2013
If you're looking for a tank-tough optic for your AR that's ideal for 3-Gun or CQB work, you need to take a look at the new Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24 mm from Vortex. At 10.1 inches in length, weighing 25.2 ounces, the riflescope uses a 30 mm tube and employs extra-low- dispersion glass to improve resolution and color clarity. At one power, the field of view at 100 yards is 115.2 feet and at six power it narrows to 20.5 feet. Maximum windage and elevation adjustments are 110 MOA and the illuminated red dot subtends .5 MOA. Adjustment is .5 MOA per click. There are 11 different reticle-brightness settings, with off positions between each and the second-focal-plane reticle uses a single CR 2032 battery for illumination. The company lists the MSRP at $1,899, but you'll notice in the video the street price may be less. If you love long- range work, but realize over-magnification isn't necessarily an advantage, you'll appreciate the new Viper PST 2.5-10x32 mm FFP. With the EBR-1 MRAD reticle in the first focal plane, your range-estimation problems are solved. Built on a 30 mm tube from aircraft grade aluminum, this riflescope is also battle tough. This one, however, has a parallax adjustment knob, target-style turrets for quickly dialing in your dope and features 10 brightness settings for the illuminated reticle (which also runs on a CR 2032 battery). It weighs 18.8 ounces, is 12 inches long and has a pretty awesome MSRP of $899. Field of view at 100 yards is 47 feet and 10.9 feet at 2.5 and 10 powers, respectively. Adjustments are .1 mil per click.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — John Lennon's imprisoned killer says he still gets letters about the pain he caused in his pursuit of notoriety nearly 34 years ago.
"I am sorry for causing that type of pain," Mark David Chapman told a parole board last week, according to a transcript released Wednesday. "I am sorry for being such an idiot and choosing the wrong way for glory."

QUESTION: Do you know whether it is true that the U.S. government is working on a new gold coin? And if it is true, what will it sell for?
ANSWER: For the first time in 53 years, there is indeed a new gold coin in the making at the Treasury Department. It bears the image of Lady Liberty on one side and the American Eagle on the other and is due to go on sale Oct. 20. It will be available in four denominations: $5, $10, $25 and $50.
But don't get the idea that you will be able to pay $50 for a $50 legal tender gold coin weighing one ounce. The coins will be priced according to the going market rate for gold. Plus, there will be a small fee for handling the sale. So, if gold is still going for about $400 an ounce come Oct. 20, you would have to pay $400 for one of the new $50 gold coins, plus a premium of $10 or $15.
Q: In last week's column you mentioned that someone earning $42,000 a year would pay about 9.7% less in taxes in 1987 than in 1986 if the tax-reform bill becomes law and about 9.1% less than 1986 taxes the following year. I hadn't seen such calculations before. Do you have the figures for all income groups?--R. D.

i have spent a considerable time in a carfor work the past couple of dayslucky for me the landscape is filledwith glorious trees in the full-blown beautyof their autumn dressluckier still i've been the passengerand could look about, gawking, gazingto my heart's content.
every year it is the samefall arrivesleaves begin to turnand i think to myself, "lovely""beautiful" "wonderful".as the show progresses and finally peaksa day finally arrives when i am outsideand the light, leaves, air are in perfect balance (it is usually morning, the prevailing windsfrom the northwest and a pack of puffy cloudsare moving across a crystal-blue sky)i stand (or sit) in awe (probably with my mouth gaping open on occasion)
every year it amazes as much as it didthe first year i lived within the embrace of these tree covered, glowing hills.
to alter, if not plagarize Madeline L'Engle:i, who live by words, am rendered speechlessbefore such marvels and wonders.the array of colors, patterns...indescribableachingly exquisite.i feel a smile in me most daysas this pageant unfolds all around meand out my window...and i wonderhow could i possibly forget that it is this marvelous every year?
