He looks like a small red man with an enormous head and octopus-like suckers for fingers. He also has no teeth. A toothless vampire might sound harmless, but beware! His gums are deadly.
If you ever sit beneath an Australian fig tree, be very careful. YARA-MA-YHA-WHO is likely to jump on top of you and suck all your blood out. And then eat you.
Strangely enough, as soon as his food has gone down, he vomits it back up again. His victims are thus miraculously reborn, albeit slightly shorter.
Should he happen to catch the same person repeatedly, the unfortunate regurgitatee will get smaller and redder each time, eventually becoming a YARA-MA-YHA-WHO themselves.

- Overview
- The FCPA also requires issuers (and issuers only) to maintain specific recordkeeping standards and adequate internal accounting controls. 15 U.S.C. § 78m(b). These provisions are designed to cover broadly all types of business transactions and accounting controls, and is not limited to thwarting slush funds and accounting and financial practices used to hide bribery payments.
- Thus, the Government can bring an enforcement action or even a criminal case for books and records or internal controls violations regardless of whether they could bring a bribery action.
- As with the anti-bribery provisions, there is no materiality threshold. See SEC v. World-Wide Coin Invs., Ltd., 567 F. Supp. 724, 749 (N.D. Ga. 1983). Nevertheless, these provisions are subject to a standard of reasonableness.
- Jurisdiction.
- The core accounting provisions are more limited in jurisdiction than the anti-bribery provisions, as they only apply to issuers. 15 U.S.C. § 78m(b); see also Lillian V. Blageff, Int'l Bus. Ethics, 16 Int'l HR J. 2, Spring 2007.
- The SEC will also seek to hold officers, directors and other natural persons personally liable for "causing" the misstatement of the company's books and records. Such persons can be found indirectly liable for "causing" the corporation's violations, "knowingly" implementing fraudulent procedures, or "controlling" the corporation in a manner that results in an FCPA violation. See SEC v. Pillor, Complaint, Case No. 06-4906 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 15, 2006), (former board member indirectly caused the falsification of the company's books and records); SEC v. Solucorp Indus. Ltd., 274 F. Supp. 2d 379 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (president violated FCPA by knowingly falsifying corporation's books, records, or accounts, or was reckless in preparing or certifying them); In re Gore, No. 3-9262, 1997 WL 94186, at *11 (S.E.C. Feb. 27, 1997) (management of issuer and foreign subsidiary allegedly authorized improper payments and false entries in issuer's books and records and failed to take any remedial action upon notice of the FCPA violations).
- Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.
- Issuers controlling more than 50% of the stock of a foreign subsidiary or joint venture must ensure that the subsidiary or joint venture adheres to the accounting provisions. Id. § 78m(b)(6).
- Issuers holding less than 50% of the stock of a foreign subsidiary or joint venture must make a "good faith" effort to ensure that the subsidiary or joint venture maintains adequate internal accounting controls. Id.
- Basic Principles.
- The accounting provisions of the FCPA "gives the SEC authority over the entire financial management and reporting requirements of publicly held United States corporations" beyond the Commission's traditional scope of disclosure requirements. World-Wide Coin Invs., 567 F. Supp. at 746.
- Record-Keeping
- An issuer must maintain books and records that "in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer." Id. § 78m(b)(2)(A).
- This requirement applies to all company transactions, not just improper payments.
- The record-keeping requirement has three objectives:
- books and records should reflect transactions in conformity with accepted methods of reporting economic events;
- misrepresentation, concealment, falsification, circumvention, and other deliberate acts resulting in inaccurate financial books and records are unlawful; and
- transactions should be properly reflected on books and records in such a manner as to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally acceptable accounting practices ("GAAP") and other criteria applicable to such statements.
World-Wide Coin Invs., 567 F. Supp. at 748.
This provision is designed primarily to prevent the following types of abuses:
- the failure to record improper payments or transactions;
- the falsification of records to conceal improper transactions; and
- the creation of records that are quantitatively accurate but do not reflect the improper purpose of the transaction.
Internal Controls
- Issuers must devise and maintain a system of internal accounting controls that is capable of detecting and preventing improper payments to foreign officials and utilizes accepted methods of accounting. World-Wide Coin Invs., 567 F. Supp. at 745-51; H. Lowell Brown, Bribery in Int'l Commerce § 3:1 (2003).
- Specifically, the internal accounting controls must should provide "reasonable assurances" that:
- transactions are executed in accordance with the management's general or specific authorization;
- transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets;
- access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's authorization; and
- the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
§ 15 U.S.C. 78m(b)(2).
- The district court in World-Wide differentiated between a typical accounting system and the internal accounting controls specific to the FCPA:
[Whereas] [a]ccounting systems process transactions and recognize, calculate, classify, post, summarize, and report transactions[,] [i]nternal controls safeguard assets and assure the reliability of financial records, one of their main jobs being to prevent and detect errors and irregularities that arise in the accounting systems of the company. Internal accounting controls are basic indicators of the reliability of the financial statements and the accounting system and records from which financial statements are prepared.
Id. at 750.
- While the FCPA internal accounting controls requirements propose no specific standards to evaluate the sufficiency of the controls, the World-Wide court noted that at minimum:
- Every company should have reliable personnel, which may require that some be bonded, and all should be supervised.
- Management responsible for overseeing and ensuring compliance with the FCPA should be identified in appropriate policies and agreements.
- Account functions should be segregated and procedures designed to prevent errors or irregularities. The major functions of recordkeeping, custodianship, authorization, and operation should be performed by different people to avoid the temptation for abuse of these incompatible functions.
- Reasonable assurances should be maintained that transactions are executed as authorized.
- Transactions should be properly recorded in the firm's accounting records to facilitate control, which would also require standardized procedures for making accounting entries. Exceptional entries should be investigated regularly.
- Access to assets of the company should be limited to authorized personnel.
- At reasonable intervals, there should be a comparison of the accounting records with the actual inventory of assets, which would usually involve the physical taking of inventory, the counting of cash, and the reconciliation of accounting records with the actual physical assets. The frequency of these comparisons will usually depend on the cost of the process and upon the materiality of the assets involved.
Id. at 750-51. Thus, corporate executives must always bear in mind these FCPA objectives when implementing the company's internal accounting controls system.
- Practice Tip: Importantly, the implementation of a proper FCPA compliance program may mitigate potential criminal punishment and monetary penalties for a company facing an enforcement action.
- Knowledge Requirement for Criminal Liability.
- Under the FCPA's accounting provisions, a person may be held criminally liable for "knowingly" falsifying any book, records, or account, or circumventing or failing to implement a system of internal accounting controls. 15 U.S.C. § 78m(b)(5).
- As with the anti-bribery provision, knowledge may be established by willful blindness or conscious disregard.
- Technical or insignificant accounting errors would not give rise to criminal liability.
- Unlike the anti-bribery provisions, which require a finding of "corrupt" intent, there is no scienter requirement for the accounting provisions. See World-Wide Coin Invs., 567 F. Supp. at 749.

(6) Sun Oct 17 2004 20:15 PST Laundry: I think it's funny that I do laundry much less often now that I live with a washing machine a dryer than I ever did before. When I was coming home once every week or two I did laundry every chance I got; I mived home a month ago and today was the first time I've done it since then.
- Comments:
Posted by Molly at Mon Oct 18 2004 06:49
First time you have done laundry in a month!!! You need to help your mom more.Be an adult.
Posted by rachel at Mon Oct 18 2004 14:00
Thank you, molly. I'm sure the fact that I have gone a month without doing laundry is a sure indication that I am a complete slacker and do absolutely nothing for my mom--who is helpless and cannot lift a finger--and that I am an immature child.
If you're so concerned than my mom isn't getting enough help, why don't you talk to her yourself? (Or better yet--move in so you can help out around the house and with money, as I have done?) She'd have a much better idea of what's going on than my weblog, which I don't even post in everyday! And I'm certainly not going to make up a daily list of everything I've done for my mom so that people who business it's not can check up on me. I don't even know who you are, and I think it's incredibly un-adult like of you to come on my weblog and post baseless accusations
Posted by Molly at Mon Oct 18 2004 14:25
I stand corrected.Forgive me.
Posted by Susie at Mon Oct 18 2004 18:19
I think I would do a ton more laundry if I lived at home, because you don't think about how much you're paying for it. I hate to do laundry when I really just need a few things washed so I put it off and off. I remember the days when I first started doing my own laundry (how old were we, eight?) I would wear a pair of jeans just once and wash them.

How come randoms don't read my weblog or post comments on my posts? I guess my life is not exciting enough. (wipes away tear)

If you're looking for a last minute gift idea, I'd got a great one! When Ariana Grande first released her super sweet new scent Sweet Like Candy, it was hugely popular, Not only because of the adorable geometric bottle with attached poof, but because the deliciously sweet scent! It absolutely flew off shelves and just in time for Valentine's Day, they've released a new RED HOT Limited Edition version of this favorite.
Just like the original light pink bottled version, you'll see this great geometric matte bottle and an extra flirty "fur" ball attacked. I absolutely love the look of this bottle. It's timeless.
As the name would suggest, this is a sweet, youthful fragrance, but it's got a great depth to it. While perfumes will wear and dry down on everyone just a little differently, the notes are a wonderful blend of sweet and musky. According to the Ulta website (where you can purchase this is a 1.7oz size for just $49) the top notes are: Juicy red berries, Italian bergamot, pear.
The Mid-notes are: Red frangipani, jasmine sambac, dewy honeysuckle
And the fragrance finishes with: Sensual musks, liquid amber, crème de cassis, marshmallow, cashmere woods.
I think I notice the musks, honeysuckle and marshmellow the most once the fragrance has had time to settle. It's not too sweet for an everyday perfume if that's what you're looking for. I think this bottle would make the PERFECT Valentine's Day gift for the fragrance lover in your life and there's an Ulta on every corner so pop by and snag one last minute if you need to!

Signing off the mortal coil
It's something every adult thinks about at some point in time, "What will happen if I'm suddenly gone?" Many of us consider things like what will happen to our possessions, assets, pets, remains, organs and loved ones should we suddenly pass on. Some of us have plans, either verbally given to family or written out in a living will or trust.
Slightly morbid
But what about our online identities? How will the people we game with, chat with and interact with online ever know what happened? I know I'm not the only one who has thought about this because there's a site for it: SlightlyMorbid. For $9.95, $19.95 or $49.95, this service will allow you to create a list of friends and a list of trusted contacts. The site then creates a certificate with simple instructions to be given to your designated trusted contacts in case of emergency so that they can notify the people you know online.
Of course, this service seems like something I could do on my own, which is probably a good idea. If you don't have a trusted friend already with access to your accounts/friends list online, then it's a good idea to keep that information somewhere with your other important documents either printed out or on a flash drive.

Tuesday, March 17 is going to be an exciting day. You get to pinch your non-green wearing friends, have an excuse to be drunk in public in the middle of the week and you can witness the first ever Twitterview!
As a journalist and Web-geek, I feel it is my duty to blog about this. At 12 noon on Tuesday, George Stephanopoulos of ABC News will conduct a full interview with Senator John McCain using only Twitter. That's right, the site that confines your posts to 140 characters. I'm a big Twitterphile and apparently so is John McCain. He updates about his day and favorite sports like anyone else, but he's also become popular for doing countdowns on pork spending in the upcoming stimulus package. So it makes a lot of sense that he'd go for this concept.
Stephanopoulos got the idea for the Twitterview when he asked my own state senator, Claire McCaskill, via Twitter why she suddenly decided to vote no on the $410-billion omnibus budget bill since she had said she was supporting it before. She tweeted him back:
"George S.:Ultimately just couldn't do it. Not just earmrks tho, also increase in spendng(8%too much)& failure to reconcile $ with stimuls."
How cool. I know that McCain and several other Twitter-smart politicians respond to people and read the replies. It makes people feel more connected to their politicians and it's smart of them to keep people updated via a popular tool like Twitter. I'm excited for the Twitterview and what this means for journalism. Will a lot of people tune in? Will it engage people? Will this be a stepping stone for more online live interviews on social networks?
We shall see.
To TV or not to TV?
So it seems like people are abandoning their TVs. I can't count the number of times I've tried to complain about a commercial or missing my favorite show when I am reminded how out of fashion I am. Who watches TV anyway? Well, at least, on a TV. Yesterday, a guy in one of my classes was looking at the newspaper and someone asked what he was reading. "Oh just the TV guide, looking to see what's on tonight," he responded. Someone scoffed at him, "just watch them online!"
Now-a-days all the cool kids watch their favorite shows online shortly after, or sometimes even while, they premiere on the cable channel. Who needs constant commercial breaks highlighting various products when they can have a few short ads for just one product. All the stations now have their shows streaming on their Web sites: ABC, Spike, and Comedy Central to name a few. Or, if you're looking for all your favorite shows from the various channels in one place, Hulu is for you. Not only does Hulu have TV shows, it also has feature length movies like Liar Liar and Rocky; whatever you'd expect to be playing at some point in time during the day while you're at work or school.

Blizzard v. WoWGlider /v. Everyone who breaks a ToS
The Initial Case
Blizzard Entertainment, creators of the ridiculously popular World of Warcraft MMORPG, are singing praise and patting themselves on the back because of their victory over the creators of WoWGliderBot. WoW Glider was a software that would essentially play your character in the game for you, doing all of the menial tasks like gathering items and killing mobs in order to level.
So Blizzard went on the offensive and, looking for some real life gold, sued the creators of WoWGlider, winning $6 million back in October. However, Blizzard took it a step further and dragged them back to court this last month in a case to determine whether the creators broke the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Judge finds WoWGlider in Violation of DMCA
Somehow, Arizona Judge David G. Campbell ruled that the WoWGlider software violated the DMCA. Meaning that because they violated the Terms of Service/Use put in place by Blizzard they were infringing their copyright. So even though the program is not at all used to extract Blizzard's copyrighted material, they have been found to be in violation of their copyright. Continue reading »
Government priorities — the Rickroll?
You know an Internet meme has come full circle when the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is using it or, as I suspect, one of her interns.
What am I talking about? Feast your eyes on:
Just some cats around the capital, oh wait what's happening to the music? A familiar 80s tune appears, this has happened to me before…but the Speaker of the House? I look at the channel again, it says NancyPelosi and it looks official. How can this be? Continue reading »

And it's always in my face because #1 I like to eat and #2 My family likes to eat so I'm always reading the list and working at shrinking it. It's been a good thing and I still use the notebook for shopping lists and menus.
In my April month in review I shared a picture from Nick's turkey season. He's a huge protein nut and cooks plenty of his own food. Well, the day he shot the turkey I was with Amber at the hospital while she recovered from her appendectomy. He breasted out the turkey and baked it just as he would for chicken breast. It was so tough, basically inedible for those of us with average jaw strength. Hah! I suggested he turn it into crockpot turkey and rice soup. I walked him through the process, but he did all the work of chopping vegetables, etc. The turkey tenderized pretty well in the crockpot and the soup was delicious.
The season changeover called for a great big shoe cabinet clean out. With a family of 9 we have a ton of shoes, not because we believe in excess, but we all have a number of interests and many of those interests call for certain shoes. And country life requires a good stash of junk shoes so we tend to keep shoes for gardening, lawn mowing, cranberry planting, and all sorts of outdoor activities until they fall apart. I know, that's very green of us. Below you can see what we took from the cabinet; we sent seven pair off to Goodwill, 10 pair went into the trash, and the rest were placed neatly back in the cabinet.
Maria and I baked a giant 2.5 pound of whole wheat bread in a very old pan found in my Grandma's basement. I wish I knew the story of the pan - where she got it, if she used it, why it was in the basement and not in her kitchen cupboard. I suppose I'll never know; even though, using it still brings out stories. Stories I share with my littles who never knew their Great-Grandma.
|Mother's Day flowers - we spied three huge Bumblebees pollinating this day.
One of Joseph's favorite games is jumping on the trampoline with toys. This day he grabbed his horse, but he's also jumped with balls and sand pile trucks (that one I put a stop to, I don't want him to fall on a metal truck - that'd probably hurt).
Amber loves finding paintings on Pinterest for inspiration and painting them with her own style. She uses this fold-able easel and a variety of supplies to create some really fun paintings.
It is rhubarb season; I've been baking with rhubarb and juicing it. This weekend I put up 15 quarts of rhubarb juice. I'll share a post on how I do that soon. This little number, though, is so good. I doubled the recipe and reduced the sugar. That way there was enough to go around and it still tasted like rhubarb should - sour and puckery.
The virtual homeschool program end of year field trip took us to Circus World Museum. See Maria clinging to Dad; she was nearly scared to death of all the newness. She warmed up a bit for a carousel ride.
|107 year old carousel
|Circus snacks: popcorn and ice cream
|Fishing....always fishing around here and an endless supply of cheesy smiles.
That's a wrap for May. Another blink of an eye and it'll be the end of June; all our much anticipated events of early summer will be over. Enjoy every day, each is indeed a gift from God.

To obtain a look that is as natural as possible – apply a tiny amount of the powder to the B1 brush, then apply to the center of the eyebrow using light taps. Hold the brush diagonally in order to avoid a concentration of the eye shadow in the center of the eyebrow, and spread to areas that require coverage.
Where else can I use the shadow?
Gaya's eyebrow shadow can be used as a liner for the eyes – simply dip the B1 brush in water, add a small amount of the shadow from the lid to the brush, and draw an eyeliner line that compliments the shape of your eyes.

Reading Time: 4 minutes
Fighting against all odds, a life-threatening disease, Nandita Venkatesan, emerged victorious. Her ordeals were long and unforgiving. But her never-say-die spirit makes her an inspiration for many of us, who despite having everything grumble and complain. From this week, we are introducing a new column, Woman of Substance, by Dr. Roxy, a practicing dentist and a writer, exclusively in Different Truths.
There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There are great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women. ~ Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Nearly a fortnight ago as I was leafing through the newspaper, my gaze became transfixed by the picture of a gamine face of a cute looking girl.
I finished reading the column, which had been written by Nandita Venkatesan, the owner of that lively face. It rendered me speechless and I had to tackle the reverence, which coursed through my veins for this spunky lass who chose not to play the victim.
Nandita could have been mistaken for the girl-next-door, when she entered Ramnarain Ruia College, Mumbai, in 2007. She too was entitled to her share of stardust. And we have to cut her some flack when she thought she would be able to indulge in the routine tomfoolery that college goers deserve. But campus karma didn't curry any favour with her. As Nandita, all but seventeen was diagnosed with intestinal tuberculosis. The verdict being delivered after battling months of excruciating abdominal pain, raging fevers and a matrix of physicians.
Through gritted teeth and a diet of fifteen or so tablets a day, Nandita took her first semester exams. Her treating doctor had cautioned her to conceal the fact that she was suffering from tuberculosis as vehemently as the guards posted outside Fort Knox. She didn't want people taking digs at her now, did she?
Finally, in 2009, a TB free Nandita ebulliently took up her masters in the Indian Institute of Mass Communications, New Delhi. She was just a few steps away from the fulfillment of her childhood dream, which had been to become a fine journalist. Once a Mumbaikar always a Mumbaikar, Nandita then returned to Mumbai and took up a job in a leading media house.
Life and its promise for Nandita were not so sure. In 2013, the TB bacteria revisited her in a deadlier avatar. This time the only treatment was back to back intestinal surgeries in multi-speciality hospitals, which involved months of hospitalisation including isolated periods in intensive care units.
This, too, was endured by our woman of valour as she was determined that nothing could break her spirit, but her ordeal didn't stop there.
In the fateful month of November 2013, Nandita was made to realise that she suffered from up to ninety percent hearing loss. This was due to the side effect of the second-line TB drug kanamycin she had been made to consume.
I am sure the irony or cruelty is not lost on you. Nandita's livelihood and productivity were in the field of communications. She had been christened Nandita, which means vivacity personified and not afraid to speak your mind. Quite a tough feat when your hearing has been tampered with for no fault of yours.
Months after this cruel verdict she underwent two major surgeries. As she went through physical and emotional onslaughts, a dramatic weight loss of above twenty kilos Nandita bounced back to supply us the story we read and learn from.
I got in touch with Nandita and we corresponded over arrays of mails and instant messages. Nandita at that time was in Jaipur as she was a speaker at a TEDx event. There she shared the stage with prominent psychologists and acid attack survivors. She disclosed to me how she had received professional training in Bharatanatyam since childhood, dancing being her second best passion.
Post-surgery, a devastated Nandita found mentorship in her school teacher Amita Prabhakar. Using chat messages as her medium Prabhakar advised Nandita to refresh her self-worth and to defeat all obstacles. Paying heed to her school teacher of a long time ago Nandita danced her way to recovery. And on Dussehra 2015, she gave her first performance. Nandita was unable to hear the music, but only felt the vibrations to guide her. Unsurprisingly she didn't miss a step.
Nandita not only vented out her frustration and grief but most importantly she used to dance as a form to rebuild her shattered nerve and confidence. She healed herself with her own willpower.
As a global advocate for Tuberculosis treatment Nandita implores the Indian government to increase its expenditure on health especially on debilitating diseases like tuberculosis. It is a matter of great shame that India possesses the maximum number of tuberculosis patients in the world. She emphasizes the need for less toxic drugs, improved diagnostic techniques and state of art heath centres at pocket-friendly prices.
"The key is to accept the situation and learn from it. It is easier said than done, but acceptance helps you move on in life and find solutions," from the diary of Nandita.
Nandita is a journalist with the Economic times. She is living her dream and motivates us all to do so.

Start is Rio Bravo Cantina 6450 Powers Ferry Rd NW, Sandy Springs, GA 30339
Hare is Breaststroke.
Yes it is closed, but that's where we're starting. We will hash back to the start, get our cars and drive less than 2 miles to Rose & Crown Tavern at 1931 Powers Ferry, but that is not the start so if you go there and start looking for flour, you won't find any.
Gather at 7:00pm. Hare sneaks off sometime shortly after because she's slow and old. Hounds off at 7:30pm.
Yes we know Full Moon isn't until Wednesday, but we have a hard enough time getting hares, so this will have to do...unless someone wants to step up on Wednesday...anyway, wear your blue moon paraphernalia, if you've got any. Somebody may have some patches to share.
Oh, and let me know if you can bimbo.

ORLANDO — Pat Williams knows about beating the odds.
Three times he has been the official team representative when the Magic won the Draft Lottery.
At 71, he is smiling and relentlessly active and looking fit less than a year after being diagnosed with cancer.
So while the immediate outlook for the local NBA franchise would seem to run the gamut from bleak to dire, Williams says Orlando as a sports market and a city is in far better shape to withstand the loss of Dwight Howard than when Shaquille O'Neal bolted for L.A. back in 1996.
"It won't be nearly as big a blow," said Williams. "Not really. This town has grown so much since then. We had 55 million visitors last year. That's never happened before in an American city. I think Orlando can stand on its own. It's a major, major market now.
"So is there sense of dismissal, that we're 'a dried up pond,' as Shaq called it? No. No.
"Of course, we were a good bit smaller then and maybe not as sophisticated. Of course, he never left here and has lived here ever since. So I guess you could say that Shaq hasn't changed since then, but we have.
"The Shaq experience, it continues to irk people with no end in sight and that was 16 years ago.
"There was a sense back then that said: 'How could Shaq do that after all the love we've shown him and all the possibilities that were there for the team? How could he call us this little shriveled up village or whatever else he said?' "
Williams was the co-founder and zealous missionary who spread the gospel of the NBA in Central Florida when the Magic were born in 1989. He hired Matt Guokas as the team's first coach, made Nick Anderson the first draft pick and was the good luck charm sitting in the chair before the national TV cameras when the ping-pong balls bounced the right way and delivered the No. 1 pick — and Shaq — to the Magic in 1992. And again in 1993 when the Magic traded No. 1 pick Chris Webber for Penny Hardaway. Again in 2004 when the Magic earned the No. 1 pick and chose Howard.
In a way, the proof that the Magic and the City of Orlando can survive and even thrive in the wake of Howard's departure is in his very arrival eight years ago. And the belief that anything is possible lives inside Williams, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an aggressive cancer that infiltrates the blood plasma in the bone marrow. It is inoperable and incurable, but some patients have been treated with chemotherapy to the point of inactivity. Williams has been to see his doctor this week and the results of his latest blood tests were good. His hair is growing back and his infectious, upbeat attitude has never left.
"I'm back in the game," he said. "Just like the Magic will be, regardless of what happens. Players are going to leave cities because free agency is a moving game that never ends. Another center, Chris Kaman, has left New Orleans and is going to Dallas. Does that mean New Orleans is a city not worth living in? Players change teams and change cities all the time. What you can't let it do is change the way you feel about yourself."
Williams, in fact, isn't willing to let go of even the longest of longshot scenarios.
"Well, the way things stand, Dwight may well be here in the fall and then we see what happens. What we see is things can change. Look at all the plates that have already been spinning through all of this. Who would have predicted that we'd be here now at this point if you went back six months or three months or maybe a couple of weeks ago?
"I have no special insight or idea as to what might happen. But you know, in the end, what if Dwight just stayed right here? Could you put the relationship back together? I think so. A lot of things get said during these situations, the negotiation. But if Dwight decided he wanted to stay, I'm sure Orlando would get over it. Some scars? Some hard feelings? Sure. Then you get over it. There's life to live."

There are many little things popping up after the devastating death of the legendary artist Prince on Thursday, that you might not know he had done through the years of his successful career. One of those things is that he wrote a song named for Donald Trump.
Prince was not only famous for his own hits, but he was also famous for writing and producing on other artist's albums. The song he wrote, titled "Donald Trump (Black Version)," was performed by a group formerly known as The Time for their 1990 album, Pandemonium.
The chorus goes a little something like this:
Donald Trump (black version), maybe that's what you need.
A man that fulfills your every wish, your every dream.
Donald Trump (black version), come on take a chance.
A 1990s love affair, the real romance.
Check out the romantic 90s ballad for yourself in the video below and SHARE it with your friends and family on Facebook today.

I have to admit… I have NEVER eaten a persimmon!
Is that shocking?
I guess that's because we never ate them in my family when I was growing up. Then why is everyone talking about persimmons in the fall and giving them away?
Many people have planted persimmon trees perhaps due to the fact they are hard to find in our local stores. That's because they don't ship well commercially.
I was at my chiropractor last week and he had baskets of persimmons one of his patients was giving away. I asked the doctor what to do with them and he got all excited telling me about this particular type. I guess you have to be careful to know if you are getting an astringent or sweet type.
He told me this particular type of persimmon was sweet – the longer you let it ripen, the sweeter it will get. And you can just eat it like an apple.
I love my smoothies, so I decided to use one in a green smoothie. After checking The Flavor Bible, I couldn't find the right fruit to sweeten it up because the book did not list bananas or dates as flavor affinities with persimmons.
I guess the persimmon wasn't ripe enough because that first smoothie needed more sweetness. I had a new bottle of organic Coconut Nectar that I hadn't tried yet, so I added a tablespoon to the blender. Unfortunately, it was going to take much more than just a tablespoon. That's when I decided to try something else.
And that's how I came up with my healthy, vegan, persimmon eggnog! And btw – the banana added just enough sweetness and tasted wonderful with the persimmon.
Whenever I make a smoothie, I make it green. I decided to add more green protein powder to this recipe instead of using raw greens. I also added more cinnamon than what was in the pumpkin pie spice mixture. You can add more sweetener or other adjustments to fit your taste.
Persimmon 'Nog
2 cups coconut milk (or other nut milk)
1 banana
1 large or 2 small ripe persimmons
2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons Whole Flaxseeds
2 scoops Green Protein Powder
1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1) Add all ingredients to the blender in the order listed.
2) Blend for 30 seconds.
The Process
Add the ingredients in the order listed and blend in a Vitamix for 30 seconds
I always add whole flaxseeds to my smoothies. They're full of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, "good" fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects.
Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s. They also contain Lignans, which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains 75 to 800 times more lignans than other plant foods. And of course they're a good source of Fiber. Flaxseed contains both the soluble and insoluble types. There are other sources for these health benefits, but whole, organic flaxseeds are relatively affordable compared with the others.
Simply Organic Spices
Everything I purchase to consume at home is organic, even the herbs and spices I use.
Green Protein Powder
Being vegan, I don't usually get all the protein and vitamins I need. That's because I would have to eat a lot more than I currently do. That's why I make a smoothie for lunch and add protein powder.
Types of Blenders
If this is your first time making one of my smoothies, you need to know why I prefer a Vitamix to other blenders. I have many other blenders, including a Cuisinart and several Ninjas, but they don't break down the raw ingredients as well as a Vitamix.
What you will find after using other types of blenders is bits and pieces of the persimmon peel and pulp floating in your smoothie, which is not very palatable – I don't like to chew my smoothies! Using a Vitamix, I don't have to peel my fruits and vegetables.
What do you think of my Persimmon 'Nog?
P.S. Loved this Persimmon 'Nog, aka Persimmon Smoothie. I have more persimmons that are ripening on the countertop. Maybe I'll make one for breakfast in a few days!

NeoAudience, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("NeoAudience," "us" or "we") operate this website (the "Site"), and other health, wellness, diet and fitness websites that are part of the NeoAudience portfolio of websites (collectively, the "Sites") and the services related to or offered on the Sites (hereinafter, the "Services"). Some of the Sites are websites that we may operate on behalf of third party licensors (collectively, "Licensors"). NeoAudience's Services may include, without limitation, tools, applications, email services, bulletin and message boards, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, calendars, and downloadable mobile applications related to the Sites or provided through the Sites. We provide you this privacy policy (the "Policy") to help you understand the kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit the Site or use any of our Services, how we may use and disclose the information, and how you can control, correct and/or update the information. To be clear about the terminology we are using, when we use the phrase "Personal Information" in this Policy, we mean information that specifically identifies you as an individual, like a person's full name, address, e-mail address, or phone number. When we use the phrase "Anonymous Information" in this Policy, we mean information that does not specifically identify an individual person, such as a user's areas of interest, browsing history, demographic information, or a unique identifier (such as a cookie or IP address). By visiting this Site or using the Services, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Policy. Each time you visit the Site or use the Services, you agree and expressly consent to our collection, use and disclosure of the information that you provide as described in this Policy. Your Personal Information will be processed by us in the United States. In addition to this general Policy, each Service may have additional privacy provisions that are specific to the particular Service. These supplemental disclosures are made adjacent to the particular Service at the time we collect the information. These supplemental disclosures also govern the use of your information.
We collect information about you in the following ways:
We collect and maintain information that you voluntarily submit to us during your use of the Sites and Services. For example: when you register for a Site, you may provide us certain information including your name, email address, screen name, password, demographic information and the health topics that interest you; to engage a Site's social networking function, you may add to your profile by providing information about your interests or health topics.

As you use the Site and Services, certain information may also be passively collected. Through cookies, pixels, beacons, log files, your device information and other technologies, we may collect information about how you use the Site and the Services. For example we may determine through an IP address that a particular computer or device is located in New York City and we may use this information to deliver advertisements promoting New York City-based businesses. This information allows us to deliver more helpful information, programs, tools and advertisements. Please see the Cookies and Targeted Advertising sections below for more information.
We may also combine online and/or offline information received from third parties with the information we have already collected from you via our Sites and Services. The third party information is used for a variety of purposes including to verify other information about you (e.g., verify your mailing address to send you requested products or services), to conduct research and to enhance the content and advertising we provide to you.
We will use your Personal Information in the ways described below or described at the time that the information is collected.
We believe that advertising is more interesting to you when it is relevant. Accordingly, we customize the advertisements that you see based upon: (i) the information that you provide us (e.g., age, gender, stated health interests and other information in your profile); (ii) geographic location information, which we may determine through your IP address, from your mobile device, or other ways; (iii) data we receive from third parties or; (iv) your visits on the Sites or use of Services (commonly referred to as "Behavioral Advertising"). Please see the Cookies and Targeted Advertising section below for more information on the use of cookies and the information collected for Behavioral Advertising.

What is wisdom?
No we are not talking about ancient proverbs or philosophies, we are talking about your health and fitness goals. What? Wisdom when it comes to health and fitness? That's right. How many times have you asked your trainer a question about diet or exercise, perhaps it was even about your training goals, dozens of time, right? It may have even been a question you've asked many times. Now that you have that information, what have you done with it. Whether you have gained knowledge through on of AMP's experienced and knowledgeable trainers, or have done research on your own. You have now gained knowledge, even if it has been the 5th, 10th, or 20th time you have asked.
"Knowledge is power." -anonymous
While the aforementioned quote is very true, how can you make that knowledge powerful in your life. This is where wisdom comes into play. Wisdom is the ability to apply experience and knowledge. While the first step to improving your life may be gaining the knowledge, it cannot end there. Taking action with that knowledge that you have gained, is the next and most imperative step.
Imagine a new driver, they are informed with how the car operates and agree that they understand. That person now goes out driving the car. If they do not refill the gas tank with gas, you can imagine what will happen. Eventually, the car will run out of fuel and the driver will be stranded. Imagine his frustration when the vehicle stops working. You may laugh at his ignorance. He was given the knowledge, why would he not replenish the fuel supply when it was running low? This person was not wise. They had the integral knowledge, why would they not act on it? You may even call this person stupid. It would be a shame if the same were thought of you, simply because you didn't not properly absorb and apply the information you had attained.
You cannot achieve results from simply having knowledge, you must have the wisdom to apply this knowledge in your life. No amount of advice from your trainer, no 'meal plan' is going to work if you cannot take the information to heart and apply it in your life. Do not waste the knowledge, do not become like the ignorant driver. Apply the knowledge you are given and you are guaranteed to see the results you are attaining for.

The United Nations (UN)'s human rights chief has warned that the persecution of Rohingya Muslim people in Myanmar could spark a regional conflict.
(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The United Nations (UN)'s human rights chief has warned that the persecution of Rohingya Muslim people in Myanmar could spark a regional conflict.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said on Monday that acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing might have been perpetrated by Myanmar's military against the Rohingya Muslims.
"Myanmar faces a very serious crisis with a potentially severe impact on the security of the region," he said, speaking during a rights conference at Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"It is sometimes said that today's human rights violations will become tomorrow's conflicts," Zeid said. "If the Rohingya crisis were to spark a broader conflict based on religious identities, the ensuing disputes could be a cause for great alarm."
Backed by Myanmar's government and Buddhist extremists, the Myanmarese military launched a heavy-handed crackdown against the Muslim minority in Rakhine State in late 2016. It intensified that campaign on August 25, 2017, using a number of armed attacks on military posts as a pretext.
The crackdown has forced nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee to neighboring Bangladesh, where they also face an inhospitable environment.
The government of Myanmar denies any atrocities have taken place, and insists that Rohingya are "illegal immigrants."
Zeid (seen in picture below) had previously said that "elements of genocide" were present in the state-sponsored campaign of violence against the Rohingya, saying those behind the crimes should be brought to justice.
The Associated Press reported last week the existence of five Rohingya mass graves in Rohingya Muslim villages in Rakhine State.
The news agency said the findings, obtained through multiple interviews with more than two dozen survivors in Bangladesh refugee camps and through time-stamped cellphone videos, indicated that the massacres had taken place in the village of Gu Dar Pyin, in Buthidaung Township in Rakhine.
The Myanmar government denied the existence of the mass graves altogether.
