Over the years, people have found it more and more necessary to express their rights to 'freedom of speech' by insulting other people/institutions/religions/ideas. As if that's what freedom of speech is all about. Since there are enough people demanding an end to world hunger, war, social determinants of health, racism and deteriorating education, then everyone should turn to Muslims. It's actually getting quite boring, listening to the Prophet (SAWS) being called a paedophile, terrorist and womanizer. I mean, seriously, for the hundreds of people who have made it the mission of their lives to insult and keep on insulting him, haven't you been able to think of a different line? For people who know their rights, you're not being very imaginative. And for people who have been studying Islam and know it so much that you have deducted that it's the reason behind everything bad in the world, you're not being very accurate either.
I will not comment on the Muslim world's reactions to the repeated insults, because I have my own reservations about retaliating by killing embassy officials and burning down property. And the terrific Twitter marathon responding to that idiotic article by whats-her-face in Newsweek pulled the rug out from under the 'mainstream of contemporary Islamists' anyway. And anyway, the whole point of projects like that stupid movie, the French and the Danish cartoons and such is to piss people off and get as much of a violent reaction as possible, because that just puts the insulting material in the limelight and makes their authors famous. And it's not just people who make it to the news that make a point of 'speaking their minds' and 'saying it like it is'; there are loads of 'open minded' people, many of whom are Muslim (and far too many of whom are Sudanese), that find it necessary to point out as often as possible that Islam and our Prophet are so and so. It makes me sick, to be honest. Not enraged, not upset, but sick. Seriously, if this is the best use you can put your time to, then you're not really worth a minute of mine.
What I want to say is this. The man you so easily throw mud at is not one we need to defend, because he is beyond what you ignoramuses will ever reach. It didn't harm him during his life and it won't harm him now that he's dead. Try as you might to sink as low as possible with your prehistoric notions of fairness and freedom, you will not change the facts that define him as the greatest man to have lived. But just to try and simplify things for what sorry excuse of a brain you have, let me explain what I can. What you brand as child abuse and womanizing, was a practice that was acceptable at the time but is strange now. Just like marrying your cousin was acceptable in the US a century ago, and is now outlawed in 30 states. But of course, no one is accusing Fred Roosevelt or Charles Darwin of incest. Unlike what many people would like to believe, he was not a mindless killing machine with nothing on his mind more than primitive animalistic desires. He forgave those who harmed him, he never once raised his voice or hand to a child, woman or servant, his home was so modest that it bordered on poverty. He instructed us to take care of our neighbours, to smile in the face of passer bys and to remove stones and trash from the way of others. He taught kindness to animals and to always give alms to beggars even if it was obvious they don't need it. Our religion teaches us to live in a clean, honest and civilised society. Rather than wallow in crime and chaos, let people act like animals randomly coupling and giving off illegitimate offspring with no rights to claim or ties to define them, and define people's worth by the colour of their skin, Islam teaches us to treat our brothers and sisters like we would like to be treated, not to talk about others behind their backs even if what we're saying is true, and that taking a single life without right is just as bad as taking the lives of everyone. And most importantly, that women in Islam are treated as delicate glass bottles, easily harmed so are to be well taken care of, who go through unimaginable hardships during pregnancy, childbirth and raising so that Paradise is under their feet, and that a man is blessed who affectionately puts food in his wife's mouth.
Maybe he ordered the massacre or millions of innocent civilians under the guises of 'fighting terrorism' and bringing peace to the entire universe. Oh wait, no, that was the US government who did that. Ok then, so he raged 'holy wars' and burned down the enemy's homes and temples and tortured them, their women and their children in the most horrific and unimaginable way that there are entire museums just to portray those devices. Nope! Those were the Christians! So he spied on, kidnapped and put in cages anyone who just happened to look like someone, locked them up for years without trial or justice, lied about killing and raping people who they had come to 'save', backed up people who have taken over other people's land and stinked up the entire region, and various other atrocities. Nope, just the US government again. So when some moron makes a cheap movie about my Prophet, I don't bother much, simply because I have more important things to do that, unlike vandalism, actually fall into my duties as a Muslim. It's hard enough trying to be a good example in today's world of media-led wars against Islam, and we really can't fall into the same trap again. And these idiots running around blowing people up are just making things more difficult.
So please, spare me your unimaginative and ignorant views of what my religion and prophet actually is, and practice your 'freedom of speech' where it is needed. Like demanding equal representation in parliament for Coptic Egyptians, or keeping your trillions of war-fare dollars at home to support the failing American economy, or whatever.

No, we're not talking about waterfowl hunting when we use the term "migration", we are talking about baitfish. Every year in lakes and rivers across the country there is a baitfish migration that takes place and it can be the key to your success as a fall fisherman.
As shad begin to migrate towards the backs of the tributaries of many lakes and rivers, the bass will follow. One of the biggest keys to fall fishing is the presence of bait. No not how many minnows are in your bucket, is there a presence of shad in the areas you are fishing is what we're talking about. You see in the fall a bass has one thing on his mind...strapping on the feed bag, that's it. He (or she) are not confused with feelings of love in the air like in the spring, all they want to do is eat. So as anglers, you have to learn to capitalize on this mode of operation. By identifying where the fish are living geographically (on the main lake, half-way back in the creeks, all the way back, you get the idea) and then finding areas that fit the profile, that also have a presence of baitfish you can increase your odds of success. Does that mean you can't catch a fish if there is no baitfish in the area? Absolutely not, what you're trying to do is play the percentages. If there is a lot of bait in the area, it should increase the number of bass in the area, which should increase your chances of catching one. Does it work like this every time? No, but often it does. One you have located where the bass are living (geographically located), you can then select a lure that is best suited for the job. Without a doubt, spinnerbaits and buzzbaits can be two of the best fall lures you can use. Remember, on a spinnerbait, try and select a blade size that most accurately matches the size of the baitfish in the area, this will often increase your level of success. Two other baits that deserve mentioning are the white jig and a shake 'n shad both of these baits can be deadly on fall bass. Try swimming the white jig around shallow cover like docks, logs, grass, etc. The Shake 'n shad also works well around shallow cover as well as rip-rap.
Remember, the number one goal of a bass in the fall is to eat, positioning yourself around areas where there is an abundance of forage can increase your chnaces of running into a good bunch of fish. Watch how and where you get your bites, and build a pattern from there, and you will be sure to have a great day on the water!

Newly made polypeptide chains not only require the help of molecular chaperones to rapidly reach their final three-dimensional forms, but also to unfold and then correctly refold them back to their biologically active form should they misfold. Most prions are an unusual class of protein that can exist in one of two stable conformations, one of which leads to formation of an infectious alternatively folded form. Studies in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) have revealed that prions can exploit the molecular chaperone machinery in the cell in order to ensure stable propagation of the infectious, aggregation-prone form. The disaggregation of yeast prion aggregates by molecular chaperones generates forms of the prion protein that can seed the protein polymerisation that underlies the prion propagation cycle. In this article we review what we have learnt about the role of molecular chaperones in yeast prion propagation, describe a model to that can explain the role of various classes of molecular chaperones and their co-chaperones, and speculate on the possible involvement of chaperones in the propagation of mammalian prions.

The Texas teenager who was derided for an "affluenza" defense for killing four people while driving drunk has been transferred to an adult jail on Friday from the juvenile center where he has been held for more than a week, online jail records showed.
Ethan Couch, 18, had been held at the juvenile detention center in Fort Worth, Texas, since he was deported from Mexico at the end of January. He was in custody at an adult jail in Tarrant County, online records showed.
Couch, 18, fled to Mexico in December with his mother after apparently violating the probation deal reached in juvenile court that kept him out of prison for killing the four people in 2013.
The move to an adult jail opens up the possibility of Couch being released on bond, an option not available to him in juvenile detention, legal officials said.
No bond amount was listed on his online jail records. The move came as a result of a judge's order, law enforcement officials said.
Couch was 16 when he was tried as a juvenile. He gained notoriety when a psychiatrist testifying on his behalf said he had "affluenza," arguing his family's wealth had left him so spoiled that it impaired his ability to tell right from wrong.
The affluenza diagnosis, not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, was widely ridiculed.
His mother, Tonya Couch, faces up to 10 years in prison for helping her son flee to Mexico.

DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke fencing team added its seventh signee for the 2018-19 recruiting class as epeeist Kevin Chao signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to compete for the Blue Devils.
Chao comes to Durham from Manhattan Beach, Calif., and currently attends Mira Costa High School. Chao is a member of the Los Angeles International Fencing Center under the direction of Eric Hansen.
Chao has been fencing since fifth grade and currently competes nationally in Junior and Division I Men's Epee events. He has represented Team USA four times in the European Cadet World Cup and earned a silver medal for the team event in Austria in 2016. In the summer of 2015, Chao trained at an invitation-only, week-long epee camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
A few of Chao's most notable fencing accomplishments include defeating several top fencers, such as the 2012 NCAA and Ivy League Champion in December 2017, a former Olympian from Bulgaria and the 2013 Cadet World bronze medalist. Chao also recorded a top-eight finish in Cadet Men's Epee in 2015 and his fencing club placed fourth in the Junior Olympics in 2016. Additionally, Chao is a member of the US Fencing First All-American Team and a three-time First Academic Team honoree.
Outside of fencing, Chao is a member of the National Honor Society, an AP Scholar and listed on the principal's honor roll. Chao has received several awards including the Charlaine Deatherage Award for Highest Ranking Juniors, the Helen Putnam Award and is a member of the California Scholarship Federation, a state-wide academic honors organization.
Chao also performed a minor solo at Carnegie Hall in New York City with his school's symphonic band.

Over 400 species of plants were found on the garden's site before the gardens were developed.
The Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden is a part of a network of regional botanic gardens, featuring the plants of different bioregions and sub-bioregions across Australia. (A bioregion is a region defined by types of natural environment rather than by man-made divisions). Each bioregion has different landforms, soils, ecosystems, plants and animals. The garden features plants of the South East Queensland bioregion, particularly those found on the Sunshine Coast.
Existing trees and land features guide the selection and location of new plantings of local plants. An ecological system of planting based on this bioregion is followed for infill and new plantings. Many plant species have labels so visitors can identify them.
Endangered species
The garden plays an important role in saving rare and endangered plant species. Some of these species are found growing naturally on the site, while others have been planted.
Twenty of the forty-two species that are listed as rare or endangered in the Maroochy area are now protected in the gardens. Twenty-seven other rare or endangered species from the South East Queensland bioregion also grow here. Information on some of the rare and threatened flora of Sunshine Coast area conserved in Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden is available.

Our beautiful son, Elliott was born on the 28.10.16, forever sleeping.
I had met mothers over the years who I had known to have lost a baby, and even close friends, but in all my trying to imagine what it would be like, that imagining didn't even come close to the reality.
The gravity of it all, how far the impacts spread, what it changes, what's involved.. all things I was previously unaware about but wish I knew, as I would have been a greater help to others before if I knew the right words, actions and emotional support.
Amongst our life shattering grief we realised how much of a lack of awareness there is on pregnancy and infant loss.
I've sought comfort in the listening ears of friends and family, and other mothers who also have angel babies. Most mothers I spoke to expressed sorrow for the lack of understanding, and hurt from dismissive words and feelings from some people they encountered. They told me of their desperate want to talk about their baby but did not out of fear of reactions or judgements. People were scared to talk about it, and others were too uncomfortable to listen. I realised it was one of the last social taboos- to talk about your passed baby, to grieve openly and honestly.
Everyone talked about feeling alone, even though it's so far from the truth. I researched our specific circumstance and found that each year in Australia over 2000 parents will go through the pain of having a baby who is still born, and a further 1000 will lose their baby within a few days after birth. (SANDS Qld) That's a huge number, and yet people feel so alone. These are our babies, as much as a part of us, as real and important and loved as the babies who get to stay. They have no less bearing than other children we may have. They are unique and irreplaceable. Even though they are not in our arms, we are still their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters etc. And yet there is a culture of silence and there can be an attitude to "move on" as quick as possible. Although as I have found and have been told by mothers who have also experienced such loss, you will never really move on, get over it, stop grieving. I have been told in time you learn to live with your grief and living with it gets easier, but you don't get over it, people just stop talking about it.
And so, I have decided I desperately want to spread awareness about child loss. I thought the best way I can do this is to share our story, and perhaps some others. I'm hoping that if people see, read and feel our journey and others, maybe more people will have a better understanding. Hopefully with understanding people will feel empowered to know ways in which they can help a family member or friend who has experienced this pain, to know what to say and perhaps what not to. In turn I hope this gives bereaved parents an easier and gentler path and journey than what so many have been on. I also hope in sharing our story, some bereaved parents might not feel so alone and may take some comfort from knowing that.
With my love, Elliott's Mummy xo

Right now this is my go-to smoothie combo. If I could, I would have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And I just can't stop raving about it! Apart from telling all my friends various times, I also thought I better not let you beautiful readers down and give you this super quick and luxurious smoothie, so you too can rave about it.
It's packed with almond butter and chia to make it super thick and creamy while also providing you with a generous dose of good fats and a complete source of protein. Cacao powder adds a rich but subtle chocolate taste while also being a great source of magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and potassium. Maca powder is an ancient vegetable that is great for balancing hormones, relieving stress and boosting energy with a delicious malt flavour. It is best to start with a little if you have not had maca before and gradually increase the amount to suit your taste. These ingredients really make this a super feel good smoothie far any day of the week! Plus blueberries and bananas, could it get any more super?!
Almond butter & Blueberry smoothie
serves 1 hungry soul for breakfast or 2 as a snack
- 1 C almond milk
- 3 frozen bananas
- 1 heaped tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1 tsp raw cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 C fresh blueberries, to serve
- Dried rose petals, chia, cacao nibs and almond butter, to serve if desired.
- Measure and place all the ingredients, except the blueberries, into the blender in the order listed.
- Blend on high for 1 minute or until thick and creamy.
- Pour into 1 large bowl or two smaller jars and pop into the freezer for 5 minutes. The chia seeds will gel and make the smoothie extra thick.
- Meanwhile wash your blueberries and slice some in half. Prepare any other toppings you wish to include.
- Remove the smoothie/s from the freezer and top with the blueberries and (almond butter, chia, rose petals and cacao nibs).

The TARDIS came to Trafalgar Square as Doctor Who stars Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman were spotted filming in the landmark.
They were creating scenes for the special 50th anniversary episode of the sci-fi show in central London.
The stars were seen with a group of actors dressed as armed police officers while a crane lowered the Doctor's trusty police box to the ground.
Show bosses have stayed tight-lipped about the plans for the special episode which is rumoured to be a 3D extravaganza filled with familiar faces from the history of the show.
At least one living former doctor – David Tennant – will return for the one-off show after it was announced he and Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series, will join the current Doctor, played by Matt Smith, in the programme.
Last week, it was revealed that former Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston had turned down the chance to appear in the episode.
But fans might still get the chance to see Eccleston's portrayal of the Doctor as show bosses are rumoured to be planning to use old footage of previous incarnations for the special show.

A jobless thug who punched a young woman in the face and caused over £5,000 of dental work in Mansfield town centre, has been jailed.
Daniel Amatt, 25, of Botany Avenue, Mansfield, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Ruth Snodin, prosecuting, said Amatt approached the woman on Leeming Street, in Mansfield, at around 4am on May 1.
She told the court Amatt had shouted abuse at the woman and her friend and threw chips at her before punching her in the face.
In a statement, the woman said: "Because of the incident I have lost one of my front teeth, and received bruising on my face, painful teeth and bruising on my elbow."
She said she suffered dizziness and sickness after the unprovoked attack and had lost confidence at work.
Sarah Neale, mitigating, said: "He has extremely limited recollection of what happened."
She said Amatt received Employment Support Allowance because he suffered from anxiety and depression, and was concerned about going to prison.
A probation report said that he could not control his drinking and his friends described him as 'a bad drinker'.
The court heard he received a 20-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, for the assault and battery of his then-partner in November 2015.
Amatt also denied the aggravated vehicle taking of a Vauxhall Astra from a caravan park in Ingoldmells, in Lincolnshire, on March 4. This charge was dismissed by the Crown Prosecution Service.
But Amatt did admit to driving the car without insurance, while over the limit, on the same date.
A breath test revealed he had 89 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
He was disqualified for four years, starting from the likely date of his release, and was fined £120.
He was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison for the assault, and 16 weeks, concurrent, for the breach of the suspended sentence.
District Judge Andrew Davison said: "It was a serious and unprovoked attack on a young female which caused her significant pain and damage."
Amatt was ordered to pay £1,000 compensation to his victim, which will be taken at £10 a week from his benefits.

Chromebooks are designed to work seamlessly with Google Apps for Education products rather than Microsoft Office products. The district adopted Google Apps for Education in 2012 as an instructional platform and students and staff have had great success using all that Google Apps for Education. Work in the Google Apps for Education Suite can be downloaded for use in Microsoft Office, if needed.
Google Apps for Education provides students with anytime, anywhere access. Google products are available from any machine at any time. Because Google Docs are cloud-based, students will have access to their work even if they do not have access to their Chromebook.
At this time, Microsoft Office products will not disappear from business labs and staff machines. If a specific course requires the use of Microsoft Office, then students will have access to the needed software in school. Microsoft Office is available as a Web App through the Chrome Store for students in a business class to access if they need it for an assignment.

As I'm sure you can guess from the title of this blog – and because despite being a writer, I'm clearly very unoriginal – my name is Jasmine Cecilia Jonas.
I'm a London based lifestyle blogger and you're likely to find me either strolling around Notting Hill snapping away at cute houses / ordering a G&T at the many bars in London / stuffing my face with avocado on toast in Instagram worthy cafes / getting lost in the rails of Zara / sipping on a good cup o' coffee / dreaming of where to travel to next.
I have no idea who'll read this - if anybody - but if anyone decides to, a massive welcome and thank you. I hope you enjoy these snippets into my life and I hope you can tolerate my ramblings.
So much love,

File Managers
Windows Explorer is the only file manager most users will ever need. For some, however, it isn't fast, customizable, or convenient enough to suit their needs. If you're in the second category, you may want to choose a file manager that either replaces Explorer or supplements it with some of the features it lacks, such as folder synchronization and thumbnail document previews. You may also want to add some special-purpose programs that confer speed or convenience without trying to take over Windows Explorer's job.
With its unique conveniences, startling speed, and gleaming interface, Directory Opus 8 (85 Australian dollarsabout $65direct; two users, around $95) is the only file manager we find powerful enough to use as a replacement for Windows Explorer. Its tabbed interface lets you switch between a traditional Explorer view and a variety of dual-directory and filmstrip-style views. Menus and toolbars let you switch to a checkbox interface to select multiple files without struggling with the Ctrl key and the mouse, and to a "flat" view that simultaneously displays all the files in a folder and its subfolders.
Advanced users can customize the menu and toolbar system, moving existing commands and developing entirely new ones using a special-purpose scripting language. A teeth-grindingly frustrating manual explains this language in detail but is almost useless at explaining basic functions. (GP Software, www.gpsoft.com )
In its current version, ExplorerPlus ($39.95) is a workhorse two-pane file manager, viewer, and FTP manager with easy folder synchronization and fast file-finding, but with less speed, style, and power than Directory Opus. Useful options add lists of recently used files and directories to other apps' Open and Save dialogs, and improve Explorer's right-click menu with Copy To and Move To drop-downs for recently used folders. A rewritten Version 7, due this summer, will add increased speed, customization options, and secure FTP, plus a scripting feature that lets you record file operations for future playback. (Novatix, www.novatix.com )
PowerDesk Pro 6 ($49.99), sprung from the same code base as ExplorerPlus, has a similar feature set, with a shinier interface, better support for UNC (network) filenames, and convenience features such as a Layout Manager that can create a toolbar icon for a saved layout.
The folder synchronizer adds a history list that lets you repeat earlier uses. PowerDesk Pro supports many compression formats not recognized by ExplorerPlus or Directory Opus, such as standard Macintosh compressed files with SIT and SITX extensions. (Avanquest Publishing USA Inc., www.v-com.com )
RedWall ($49.95) describes itself, accurately, as "security software," but it's also a traditional file viewer cleverly configured to protect you from opening malicious files present in e-mails or browsers. For example, when you click on the icon for a Microsoft Word document attached to an e-mail, RedWall previews the file instead of letting it open in Word, so macro viruses and other malicious software can't run. If you're sure the file is safe, click on a toolbar button to open it in its native application or any other program you specify.
Other buttons let you convert a previewed file into HTML format, change font size, and search for text. Files on disk can be previewed from the Explorer right-click menu, which also offers options to print, encrypt, or securely delete the selected file. Fine-tuned controls let you specify the file types that RedWall previews and password-protect its settings. (Novatix, www.novatix.com )

Re-Examining Nationality in Aging Asia: Insights from Japan and South Korea
January 24, 2011 Leave a comment
Several countries in Asia have recently amended their nationality laws, including the Philippines (2003), India (2003), Indonesia (2006), Taiwan (2006), Thailand (2008), Japan (2008), Vietnam (2009), and South Korea (2010). Was it mere coincidence that these countries reassessed their nationality laws? Or did they have important reasons to discard variously 'outdated' clauses in the face of sharp public debates and political contestations over issues of nationhood? This policy commentary provides background and context towards understanding some key issues that motivate changes to nationality laws in Asia, especially in Japan and South Korea. It suggests that the issue of nationality has become bound up with the dynamics and political implications of 'human flows' in Asia.
Changing Nationality Laws
The key changes over nationality laws revolve around two points. First, there are moves to redefine the legal status of the children of international marriage and divorce because of the increase in international marriage over the past 20 years in Asia. Second, governments must decide whether to accept dual/multiple nationality status which Asian countries were long reluctant to acknowledge because of Cold War politics and complex colonial legacies.
Two major amendments to nationality laws in Japan and South Korea may serve as good illustrations. Japan's 1984 nationality law was amended in 2008 to take effect on January 1, 2009. The major change was to entitle children born out of wedlock to a Japanese father and a foreign mother to Japanese nationality. This amendment was triggered by a Supreme Court ruling of June 4, 2008 that ten children born out of wedlock to Japanese fathers and Filipino mothers were to be granted nationality because the clause in the 1984 nationality law, which stipulated the parent's marriage as a condition for Japanese nationality, was unconstitutional. Parliament and the Cabinet opted for a new nationality law that accorded with the Supreme Court ruling.
South Korea has gone further. The government amended its 1997 nationality law in 2005 and 2010 to acknowledge and accept dual citizenship whereas the previous law required abandoning other nationalities in order to obtain South Korean nationality.
Aging Societies, Accelerating Human Flows
One immediate reason for these legal changes is the increasing number and proportion of international marriage over the past 20 years. For example, 7 per cent of all new marriages in Taiwan involve a foreign spouse, with 90 per cent of such marriages being between Taiwanese males and foreign females. In South Korea, where the number of international marriages has doubled in six years, more than 10 per cent of all marriages are now international marriages, mostly of South Korean men with Chinese, Vietnamese or Filipino women. More international marriage has perhaps unsurprisingly led to more international divorce. In Japan, 5 per cent of all marriages in 2009 were international marriages whereas 8 per cent of all divorce cases involved international couples. These trends, evidence of changing social conditions, complicate the status of children beyond the provisions of former nationality laws and legal frameworks.
A second critical issue is growing anxiety over 'aging society' in Japan and South Korea whose record low birthrates hold major implications for economic growth and the management of welfare systems. In Japan, influential voices, primarily from the business sector, have urged the government to relax conditions for acquiring Japanese nationality. This is regarded as an important measure to encourage more foreigners to enter Japanese society to offset the declining size of the workforce and to attract foreign talent to boost economic competitiveness. In November 2010, speaking in support of Japan's joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, the Chairman of the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), Hiromasa Yonekura noted that "the 'only way' to compensate for Japan's population decline and achieve long-term stability was to 'invite immigrants' …who pledge allegiance to Japan."
As Asia's intra-regional trade and investment dramatically rise in volume and proportion, major businesses have also tried to utilize regional labor and talent. Today, the model of development itself extends beyond national to regional development with an increasing reliance on external demand. Thus, 'inviting foreigners', especially 'neighbors', into Japan is now regarded to be an unavoidable measure to maintain economic growth and success.
Before the 2009 national election, the current ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) promised to take steps to acknowledge dual nationality. In line with the stance of DPJ and Keidanren, the Department of Justice issued a Basic Plan for Immigration Control in March 2010 which stated that one important point in reexamining immigration laws was 'to incorporate the vitality of the Asian countries which are growing rapidly into Japanese economic growth.'
South Korea shares similar reasons for acknowledging dual citizenship. Reviewing immigration and nationality laws in 2007, the government identified the following considerations for shaping new laws and policies: 1) to meet the needs occasioned by a dwindling birthrate and an aging population, an 'open door' policy for immigrants must be well prepared; 2) with globalization and advanced technology intensifying competition for foreign talents, legal frameworks must be favorably modified to attract and retain such talents; and 3) the increasing number of international marriages requires policies to support and integrate new foreign-born Koreans into Korean society.
Indeed, South Korea acted swiftly. The higher percentage and more rapid increase of international marriage in South Korea (compared to Japan) and various issues of social integration helped to shape public opinion and push the government to reform its nationality law. Incidents of abused Vietnamese and Filipino wives in South Korea gained wide attention, sparking calls to reform legal provisions on nationality and marriage.
Opposing Arguments
Japan and South Korea have similar reasons for reassessing their nationality laws – economic competitiveness, smaller population (vis-à-vis China and India), and the challenge of an aging society – but their social conditions vary due to differences in the ratios of foreigners and the issue of military service.
Unlike the government in South Korea, the Kan Cabinet in Japan has yet to form a party or public consensus on a new law on dual nationality. While the Keidanren and the Ministry of Justice support the relaxation of the nationality law, quite a few voices are opposed to dual nationality. For example, the new law granting nationality to children of an acknowledged Japanese father was heavily criticized on grounds that it will present opportunities for illicitly obtaining Japanese nationality – through false marriages, human trafficking, for instance – which would increase illegal migrants, add to the crime rate, and burden the social welfare system. Such voices stressed a need to cover legal loopholes with strong preventive measures against 'worst case scenarios', the most critical of which was the threat to security. To take a notable issue, a DNA-match condition was proposed for Japanese fathers who intended to acknowledge their children from international marriages. Such opposing voices have warned the government against overlooking thorough reviews of the security risks of new dual-nationality laws.
In South Korea, counter arguments on dual citizenship highlighted the issue of military service obligation for male citizens. South Korean politicians have been reluctant to support dual nationality for fear of being regarded as favoring the rich and privileged by helping their sons evade mandatory military service. Many such South Korean children were born in countries, such as USA, which practice birthright citizenship and accept dual nationality. Consequently, the debate on dual nationality crucially went beyond economic and security matters to include issues of civic responsibility and civil equality. Thus, the 2010 nationality law requires of holders of dual nationality that: 1) they cannot utilize their foreign status in South Korea to evade military service or apply for university admission through the foreign category; and 2) dual citizenship is permissible only for those born abroad and those married to South Koreans.
Regional Competition and Disputes
The United Nations estimates that the world's population will increase by 2.5 billion people by 2050. Owing to its size, Asia's population growth will account for a major proportion of global population growth. In Asia, Japan and South Korea will 'lose' population while India and China will gain. Hence, the aging society of Asia's developed countries and the population growth of its developing countries will together intensify intra-regional competition to attract 'the best and the brightest' while managing flows of cheap labor.
Every nation would like to attract the highest talent and exploit the cheapest labor. No government, however, will find it easy to hold together domestic disputes and win against rival nations. Japan and Korea will compete not only with each other or within Asia but also countries like US, Canada and Australia which have successfully attracted talents over decades. In an era of changing demography and regional market integration, therefore, competition over people may add a new layer to Asia's intraregional politics that can significantly shape regional dynamics and foreign relations. Here, nationality and immigration laws may be crucial since they are primary means of government control. Indeed, we may already be witnessing new sites at which diplomatic relationships may easily deteriorate, for example, over the alleged maltreatment of foreigners, such as of Vietnamese in South Korea, Indonesians in Malaysia, Filipinos in Japan, Burmese in Thailand, and so on. Governments are likely to make sweet promises, so to speak, to 'dream seekers'. But their thoughtful care for the disenchanted may be crucial to the success of their reforms of nationality and immigration policies that in Asia are inseparable from considerations such as nationalism, economic incentives, human rights, and social welfare.

Some Popular Host Countries
An au pair (English pronunciation: plural: au pairs) is a domestic assistant from a foreign country working for, and living as part of, a host family. Typically, au pairs take on a share of the family's responsibility for childcare as well as in some instances some light housework, and receive a monetary allowance for personal use as well as board and lodgings. Au pair arrangements are subject to government restrictions, which specify an age range usually from mid-late teens to mid to late twenties; some countries explicitly limit the arrangement to females.
A host family is a family consisting of at least one parent and one child under the age of 18 that invites an au pair from a foreign country for a specified period of time. The au pair lives "on equal terms" with the other members of the family and in return for food, board, and a salary, cares for children and does simple domestic work. Hosting an au pair is considered a program of cultural exchange
Arrangements differ between Europe, where the concept originated, and North America. In Europe, au pairs are only supposed to work part-time, and they often also study part-time, generally focusing on the language of the host country. In the United States, they may provide full-time childcare. In 1969, the European Agreement on Au Pair Placement was signed, and it came into force in 1971.

A North Bay Business Insurance
2017 is coming to a close and 2018 will be here in a few weeks. 2018 is set to be a good year for business. The economy is growing and employment is at one of the highest levels in the past 25 years. There will always be challenges regarding business insurance and risk management.
Business Insurance Trends
The business insurance world is changing at a fast pace. Technology is continually evolving and businesses must change or die. New technology also brings change in claims and litigation. Often lawsuits filed today are indicators of business liability claims tomorrow.
Business Insurance
Business or commercial insurance coverage is available for almost every conceivable risk your business might face. The cost and amount of coverage of policies vary among insurers. Also the type of business you are in also impacts cost and coverage. You should discuss your specific business risks and the types of insurance available for your business with us.
Intellectual Property
This is one of the fastest growing areas of litigation. The average defense cost in 2016 was over $500,000. With more information being disrupted over the internet, claims are sure to increase. Intellectual property insurance coverage protects companies for copyright, trademark or patent infringement, and claims arising out of the company's operation.
Healthcare Professional Liability
As we move well into healthcare reform, we are seeing increased litigation focused on medical providers of all kinds. In 2015, litigation against OB/GYN doctors accounted for over $3.9 billion in claims. Many states have enhanced medical malpractice laws designed to speed up and compensate injured patients.
Cyber attacks
Recent news that Russian cyber thieves stole billions of passwords should create heightened awareness about the risks and need for cyber insurance. The problem, Munich Re explains, stems from the fact that "most traditional property and liability policies provide no or limited coverage for cyber risks" although there still may be a duty to defend until such time as coverage is determined.
Social Media
Social media is becoming popular with many businesses, and this increases the liability risks. The combination of personal use and business use combined with privacy laws increases the risk to business of being sued by employees and other third parties. There is definite increased risk of defamation, libel and slander for firms who don't outsource the service.
Directors & Officers Liability
Most business owners don't believe they can or will be sued despite statistics that show otherwise. The latest number by Chubb Insurance Company shows that about 25% of firms have been sued for directors and officers negligence. Claims can be made by shareholders, regulators, family members, customers, vendors and competitors.
Santa Rosa, Petaluma, American Canyon, and surrounding areas.
Every industry has specific needs when it comes to insurance. Industry-specific risks make it impossible for insurance companies to lump together one insurance plan for every business. At North Bay Insurance Brokers, we understand that being unique is what makes your business successful across the board. That's why we provide industry-specific insurance options for businesses of all types.

Physical Activity
While you probably won't have much luck getting Fluffy to run laps around the living room, you can keep her active by playing with her. Even just spending a few minutes a day running, jumping, and pouncing will help keep your kitty fit.
Mental Stimulation
Playing offers your feline pal beneficial mental stimulation. Figuring out how best to attack that catnip mouse is almost like a kitty version of doing a crossword puzzle. This mental activity will help keep Fluffy's mind active as she ages, and can help fight off the cognitive decline cats sometime experience in their senior years.
Burn Excess Energy
If Fluffy is basically a furry bundle of mischief, playing with her can help burn off some of that excess energy. After tiring herself out chasing after that little red dot, your frisky feline will probably start thinking about her next nap. Tired pets are good pets!
Build Confidence
We know, some cats think very highly of themselves, but not all of our feline friends are quite that confident. In fact, some furballs are very timid! If you have a scaredy-cat on your hands, you may find that regular play sessions help build Fluffy's confidence. Nailing those tricky sprint/jump/pounce combos can really make shy kitties feel great about themselves.
Playing is a wonderful way for you to bond with your kitty. If you have two cats, it's also a great way for them to bond with each other! Fluffy may not understand everything you say to her, but if you spend a few minutes a day entertaining her, she'll feel loved and happy.
It's Cute
Last but not least, cats are quite adorable when they are feeling frisky. There's a good chance that you'll find yourself giggling at Fluffy's antics. Those play sessions may be just as fun for you as they are for your pet!
Please contact us, your Bee Cave, TX animal hospital, for all of your pet's veterinary care needs. We're here to help!

Ballymena C saved their best performance of the 2015 season for the visit of Belfast to the Old Ballymoney Road venue on Saturday.
The Braid men demolished the visiting team as they claimed 4 good rink wins to claim a maximum 7 points from a 96-39 win.
On rink 1 Leslie Jackson, Robert McCready, Liam Lyness and Wilfie Stewart were in great form against L Crosier.
The visitors scored a single on the first end but the Braid men won the next 8 ends to lead by 13 shots.
The visitors doubled their score on the 10th end but the Ballymena rink won the next 6 ends to increase their lead to 23 shots.
The remainder of the game was closer but there was only ever going to be one winner in this game with the Ballymena men claiming an emphatic 27-5 victory.
The Ballymena rink of Roy Kernohan, Gary Shaw, Andy Hill and Norman Armstrong did not have everything all their own way against D Boucher on rink 2 and with a third of the game completed the home rink found themselves on the wrong side of a 7-2 score line.
The game changed on the next end when the Ballymena men picked up a count of 6 shots to lead for the first time. From then on the Ballymena rink never looked back and over the remainder of the game they outscored the visitors by 13 shots to 7 to claim victory by 21 shots to 14.
Jimmy Shields, Jimmy Gage, William Crawford and Johnny Elliott found the Belfast rink skipped by H Johnston hard to shake off on rink 3. Over the first 18 end this was also a low scoring match with only 21 shots scored during this period.
At this stage of the contest either team could have won the game as the score board read 11-10 in favour of the Ballymena men however Elliotts's men had saved the best for last and a count of 7 shots on the 19th end was followed by another 4 shots on the 20th end and a single on the final end gave them a slightly flattering 23-10 victory
Willie McNabb, Alan O'Loan, Dessie Shaw and Alex Wilson did not make the best of starts against R McKeaveney on rink 4 and with 7 ends played the visitors led by 8 shots to 3.
The Ballymena men found another gear when they won the next 8 ends to turn a 5 shot deficit in to a 6 shot advantage.
The Braid rink continued to dominate the remainder of the game as they restricted the visitors to just 2 more singles while Wilson's men accumulated a further 11 shots to win comfortably by 25 shots to 10.

Summer is the hottest, most loved season. The sun is shining bright and fondles our skin. The two favorite places for this season are the swimming pool and the beach. But there is something that attracts our attention a lot on these places – the beautiful, chocolate sun tan. Many people find it really difficult to get tan, but the most important thing is to protect our skin first. You don't want to look like a tomato after you get back from the pool party. The market offers us many different suntan products, and they all promise us beautiful, sexy tanned skin. But there are some other things you should consider first!
1. Hydration
Before you set out for the pool party, there are a couple of things you should do first. In order to get tan, your skin needs to be hydrated really well. It's very hard to get tan if your skin is dry. That's why you can take a shower and use an exfoliating soap. You can also use a lotion containing sodium PCA to moisture your skin. Another important product you shouldn't forget about is sunscreen lotion. If your skin is very light, it's recommended to use a lotion with a high SPF rating. But no matter what your skin type is, the SPF rating you use should not be less than 15. If you're planning to get in the water, consider buying a waterproof sunscreen lotion.
2. The swimsuit
If you want to get the perfect tan, you'd better consider what swimsuits you wear. Imagine what your tan will look like if one day you're wearing a one-piece swimsuit and the next day you're wearing a bikini. You should pick a single type of swimsuit and stick to it.
3. Moving
Another important part while trying to get tan is moving. When you lie on the beach or on the lounge next to the pool, don't forget to turn around. It's up to you how often you'll turn, but don't stay 1 hour front and 15 minutes back. Of course, if you don't want to lie down all day, but you still want to have tan, your alternative is to go jogging, or just take a walk.
There are some home recipes with which you can get tan and you won't have to buy sunscreen lotions. The first thing you can try is mixing ¼ cup of white lotion with ¼ cup of cocoa powder. Mix the 2 ingredients until the mixture is really smooth and spread it all over your skin. The second recipe you can try is the mixture of 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 cup used coffee grounds. After that spread the mixture on your arms, legs, and face or anywhere else you'd like to have tan, but avoid putting it close to your eyes and nose. Let it stay for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water.
And finally, don't forget that the most important thing is to protect your skin from the sun beams. If you use the right SPF rating, you will be alright. It's better to go slower with the tan, but at the end the results will speak for themselves.

HP Lovecraft, The Haunter of the Dark
I've been reading HPL recently, gearing up for the next installment of our most excellent CoC PBEM games with Daddy Grognard at the helm this time, and when I read this passage it hit me that he could be describing something like a d14! It had "seven queerly designed supports extending horizontally" to sides in the box. They could be coming off the sides of a sweet glistening surface of a highly polished mineral d14.
It is likely that HPL was thinking of something more chaotically fashioned, the fact that he called it a sphere at first had me thinking of a d20 or a d30 something like that. But today, I'm going to think about HPL rolling d14's while rocking out to Metallica, drinking Mountain Dew, and criticalling on a Shoggoth!

Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade
During the happy, haunting Halloween season, Disney World throws for the first time a family-friendly event called Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP). This after-hours party, which requires a separate admission ticket, includes open attractions, a special fireworks show, dance parties, and trick or treating.
But for many Disney guests who attend MNSSHP, one of the evening's highlights is Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, which happens nightly on the evenings when the party is held. Boo-to-You is exclusive to MNSSHP.
Boo-to-You stars Disney characters (who appear on their Halloween costumes) – from the animated and live action films, as well as characters that are part of Disney – and colorful floats. Street performers, who move along with the floats, and a toe-tapping theme song accompany the Halloween-themed parade.
In the video below you can see the full video from the Mickey's Boo To You Halloween-themed parade held at the Disney Universal Studios! We love all of the characters, costumes and parade floats and we hope you all get to see this parade live!
Watch below and then let us know what YOU think! Also, be sure to share with us what you are dressing up as for Halloween this year!

By David L. Brown
Yesterday I posted an analysis of the current forecasts for a poor corn crop due to heat and drought, and also mentioned that the obvious step to take is to suspend all ethanol production to free up the approximately one-third of the U.S. corn crop mandated to go to distilleries and into our gas tanks. If the corn crop drops by a significant degree, as seems likely, that mandated amount of corn will take an even larger bite out of the supply, perhaps even surpassing one-half of the total.
It's deja vu all over again, as Yogi Berra said. Back in 2008 I posted this editorial cartoon that appeared on the cover of Quill, the magazine of the Society of Professional Journalists. (I am a 50-year member of SPJ and am immediate past-president of the New Mexico chapter.)
That cartoon is even more appropriate today, because the USDA is refusing to put a stop to the travesty even though a world food crisis is inevitable, putting hundreds of millions at risk of famine. And today, writing in The Financial Times, José Graziano da Silva, the director-general of the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization, wrote (as reported by Reuters here):
"Much of the reduced crop will be claimed by biofuel production in line with U.S. federal mandates, leaving even less for food and feed markets," he wrote in an op-ed just a day before the U.S. government issues a pivotal crop report that is expected to show U.S. corn output falling to the smallest in six years and stockpiles at near record lows.
"An immediate, temporary suspension of that mandate would give some respite to the market and allow more of the crop to be channeled towards food and feed uses," he wrote in a high-profile yet indirect message to Washington.
Obviously, the line has been drawn in the sand by those in charge in Washington and it's to favor the owners and operators of ethanol plants vs. hundreds of millions of endangered human beings. And not to mention the "inconvenient truth" of food shortages and higher prices right here at home. Already, as I mentioned yesterday, ranchers are liquidating their herds in the face of dried-up pastures and hay crops. How bad is it way out West? I saw a post a few days ago from a rancher in west Texas who said that he's received just three inches of rain in the last two years. His critters have long since gone to market and he's facing a bleak future.
In a recent essay ("A Tragedy in the Making," here) I documented the connection between food prices and civil unrest in the Third World. Food is clearly at the root of recent "Arab Spring" uprisings in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, currently in Syria and other places. The latest developing round of food shortages and attendant cost increases are sure to spark even more such "revolutions," and they could even spread beyond the Arab sphere to include such places as India, China, North Korea, and even (well, yeah) Mexico.
The reason all these places are so vulnerable to food cost and availability is that they are living much closer to the razor's edge of famine than richer nations such as the U.S. By comparison, here in America food has recently accounted for around 8 percent of the CPI (cost price index)—although we can expect that to rise, perhaps dramatically. Here is a bar chart that shows the percent of CPI in major nations compared with America at the far right:
As you can see, the worst cases are the two nations with the greatest populations, India and China. Falling in line below those two giants are Poland, Hungary, Mexico, Japan, Portugal, Spain and Greece, all above the non-U.S. average represented by the yellow bar. Hmm, see anything curious about those last three names? Yes, they are members of the so-called PIIGS, the failing members of the EU. Poland and Hungary are also EU members, and immediately below the yellow line are two more EU nations, Czech Republic and Italy, the last of which is a third member of the PIIGS (the remaining PIIGS being Ireland which is fairly far down on the chart next to Canada.
Remember, these are figures from prior to the present rise in food prices. And, here's a lesson to keep in mind: When food prices go up, income doesn't necessarily go up to compensate. In fact, it only would do so in a completely pure communist economy of which none currently exist. And, even if there were such a worker's paradise on earth, and assuming its management attempted to compensate for every rise in food prices by raising incomes, it would soon be a bankrupt nation. (For examples see former Soviet Union and present day Zimbabwe which is now issuing one hundred trillion dollar bills).
But never mind all that, because by gosh the important thing is to keep those ethanol plants going. In fact, there's a move on to mandate 15 percent ethanol content in our gasoline, up from the present 10 percent. That would be a particularly brilliant stroke, since most existing automobile engines cannot burn that hot a blend and would be destroyed. But, oh wait! I forgot for a moment that the government owns GM and Chrysler. If all our engines burn up by mandated E15 fuel, we'd have to buy Volts and other "green" vehicles. GM would emerge as the savior of the new collective that used to be America. We might not have a chicken in every pot, but by golly there'll be a Volt in every garage. And those over-priced fire starters will stay there, too, because there won't be enough electricity to charge the darned things, which will be yet another advantage to our nation by helping to further reduce our wasteful and unconscionable energy use toward the ultimate goal of zero.
It's a win-win! W0o-hoo! (But don't sell short those snowballs in hell, for they might soon be turning the Devil into Frosty the Snowman. Any…day…now.)

|Kanda Yun-rin
|Assorted starter
|Fried shrimp with tomato sauce
|Fried spring roll
|Shaoxing wine (10 years, 5 years and new one)
|Rraised pork belly
|Noodle with shark's fin soup
|Almond jelly and fruits with syrup
A dish of fried shrimp was with sauce of tomato and basil. The sauce looked like an Italian cuisine, but the taste was definitely Chinese! Combination with crispy fried shrimp was dainty. I took my hat off to the chef. And the most impressive dish was a raised pork belly. The meat itself is very soft as if melted in the mouth. The tasting is juicy and salty-sweet. The balance was ideal! (but Chinese people may not think so as Chinese star anise is not used much considering Japanese preference).
The portion was also enough. You can definitely be satisfied. I understood the popularity of this small but high level restaurant. Worth for visiting. My rating is 4.5 out of 5. Gochiso-samadeshita!

I stormed into St. Joe's at the height of the Noon Ash Wednesday Mass. Still dressed in my scrubs, I blew through those massive chapel doors like a gust of bitter February wind. I'd just seen Jamie's pretentious car parked in front of the church, and I figured he'd come to this penitential mass hoping for absolution. He sat in the third row, head bowed, his gloriously tousled mass of golden hair gleamed like a beacon of innocence next to the shining helmeted updo of his repressed, miraculously blonde mother.
I bypassed the ushers, ignoring the hello from Mrs. Banks, my seventh grade math teacher and the folded program she tried to place in my hand. Failing to genuflect or splash myself with holy water—it would have sizzled on contact—I marched straight down the center aisle. My red rubber Crocs squeaked my progress through the hushed, echoing chamber of the sanctuary. Heads turned as I passed, no doubt wondering who dared to clop down the tasteful Moravian tile in the midst of this somber service. It was officially the kickoff to Lent, and the house was packed with the well-dressed, good citizens of Smithfield.
Faces I'd known my entire life surrounded me, but I blocked them out. I'm sure that even Christ's eye was on me. The priest, Father David, droned the glum litany and looked my way for half a second, before dismissing me, as if he was the voice of reason and I, little Markie Meehan, needed to sit my ass down and get with the program.
Not happening.
I found a place in the pew behind Jamie and slid in. Glaring at the back of his head, I struggled with an overwhelming violence. Never in my life had I felt that kind of rage. I wanted to destroy him, not engage in some hissed conversation and exchange of keys. Fuck that. I was beyond civility. And Jamie DuPree wasn't stepping one Gucci-clad toe in to my apartment. Ever again. The prick.
As I clenched the book rack, my fingers brushed against the Bible proudly displayed there. Eyeing the curls that hugged Jamie's rough jaw, I slid the Good Book from its safe haven. The cracked leather felt worn, but the bulk was reassuring. Encouraging, even. So fueled by a boiling rage, I hauled back and gobsmacked that bastard as hard as I could in front of God and everyone.
The Bible hit the back of Jamie's head with a resounding thwack! and Jamie pitched forward. His beautiful face collided with the pew in front of us with a sick smack. He hit the wooden lip hard, the sound like a puck getting whacked by the high-priced stick he valued far too much, and he dissolved onto the tile.
My follow-through sent me into an awkward nosedive over the back of the pew and onto the maroon cushion. Legs kicking, ass high, my face came perilously close to landing in Mrs. Dupree's lap. I clambered to my feet, spewing outrage and fury and maybe a little filth.
"In our bed, you fucking bastard!" The words rang through the congregation as the entire community froze.
At least I assumed they were frozen. I wasn't paying attention to anyone except Jamie and his stiff mother. I had nearly landed on top of her when the cushion shifted under her skinny ass and she rose to her perfectly clad feet and clutched her pearls. Her sour-lemon lips pursed, and she stared me down with—and perhaps I imagined this—the glowing eyes of demonic satisfaction. "How dare you?"
What did she think? That her words mattered here? Conversation with Jamie was definitely not happening now. I didn't spare her another glance.
Liberated of my usual control, I felt free. Or just out of my fucking mind, so I cuffed him again with the Bible. He went down a second time.
The folks around me came to their senses and latched their rough hands onto my arms in some mockery of Christian brotherhood. "Mark. Calm down."
"You need to leave."
"That's enough."
No, it wasn't, but they dragged me from the pew, ripped the Bible from my hand and drove me up the center aisle like a heretic. I looked into faces I'd known my entire life, and I knew I should have been shamed, but I had nothing to be ashamed of. Not yet, anyway.
Panting and blowing and utterly disheveled, I glanced over my shoulder just as Jamie, limp in his rumpled banker suit and tie, was assisted into his seat with caring hands. He looked stunned, and a little gray—well, except for the blood, which at this point steamed down his proud nose.
And then I found myself ostracized. My good neighbors tossed me right through the arched doors and back into the gasping chill of the February midday. Sweat froze to my skin. Alone, exposed, shunned on the front lawn, I was still royally pissed. I clenched my fists and marched back to the car, the bitter wind whipping my field coat wide as gritty sand and road salt blasted my face. My eyes watered, and my nose began to run. I hit the door lock on the Jeep and climbed inside.
Time to go home and pick up the pieces.

Injury Update: Zach Osborne
Zach Osborne salvages a point
Zach Osborne was involved in a horrific crash at the start of the second moto yesterday and, for a moment, it seemed that he was not going to get back in the race. There was a good reason for that though, as he popped his shoulder out and obviously needed it to be put back in. Osborne did that immediately, rejoined the race and charged to twentieth for a single point.
"Today was a learning experience for me," Osborne said in a post-race statement. "I got off to a good start in the first moto and was able to hold on for a fifth. Then, I was hit in the first turn at the start of the second moto and popped my shoulder out. It took me a second to get it back in before I could get going. I managed to score one point. There are eighteen motos left and a lot of points still on the table."
After giving up a considerable amount of points at the third round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, Zach Osborne now runs fourth in the championship standings. Twenty-four points separate him from the new leader, Jeremy Martin, with nine rounds left to run.

Chrissy Teigen Says Her Daughter Luna Gives Her Style Advice
According to the model, Luna has even expanded her advice from make-up to clothes and makes sure to tell her famous mother when she looks good.
AceShowbiz –
Chrissy Teigen's two-year-old daughter Luna gives her style advice.
The Lip Sync Battle co-host opened up about her daughter's possible future as a beauty blogger or stylist as she launched her new collaboration with make-up brand Becca Cosmetics.
"She doesn't shower with us, but she'll sit at the end of the shower, just cross-legged. She'll watch you shampoo and she'll go 'Shave, shave, shave!' Then, when I do my make-up at the sink, she's like 'Up, up, up.' …If you hand her a lip gloss or a compact and she'll dab, dab," Chrissy told E! News.
And when Luna is done with her pretend make-up, she mirrors her model mother.
"Then she goes," Chrissy said, kissing into an imaginary mirror, "'Feel pretty!' It's really cute."
Luna has even expanded her advice from make-up to clothes, and makes sure to tell her famous mother when she looks good.
"She's at a stage where she'll compliment you on your outfit. Of course, her taste in outfits – you know, you can't really trust it," Chrissy joked.
The TV presenter, who also shares baby son Miles with husband John Legend, explained why she teamed up with beauty brand Becca Cosmetics.
"We wanted a small beach collection that will give people an effortless confidence. That's what it gave me," Chrissy said. "I'm doing my make-up myself. I am going to the grocery store and doing daily activities with them (her children), but I still want to feel beautiful and confident."
