In the U.S. slavery officially ended with the Emancipation Proclamation, even though it took three years later for it to be considered "law" in Texas.
Over 90% of our time in existence as a nation has been spent under the brutal-boot of both slavery and Jim Crow; this time period, of course, came to a culmination and finale with the Civil Rights Movement, and the passage of laws to equally protect the rights of all citizens of the U.S.
Yet, even today, slavery continues in our contemporary times, only wearing different uniforms, in different places. Sex slavery, Abusive slavery by psychopaths, sociopaths, and kidnappers, drug slavery (personal & systemic), Imperialism slavery, i.e.,the U.S.'s power base to occupy and wage-war, for the purpose "of saving the world for Democracy," (bull-shit on that!). Then there's slavery so thieves can steal body parts or organs to sell, etc., etc., etc. The list is as long as your arm.
Although slavery was abolished in 1980, it didn't become a crime Mauritania in 2007; legal-chattel-slavery was allowed in Mauritania-so that nomadic families, the "higher-up" relatives, would enslave their own kin! This became illegal only in 2007! That's just eleven years ago. And even though it's now illegal there are still slaves in Mauritania.
Mauritania's slavery is one of the main factors that ecllipses change there; slave families have no right to land (which, of course, hapenned to many African-American slaves in our own country). It should be-as a form of reparations.
Is it just me, or do you ever scratch your head, when you hear about archaic, inhumane treatment in this new age of consciousness? It's like so dramatic-emphasizing how old thought processes can easily be brushed off and used in new ways in new contexts. It's sorta like a time machine gone awry, and then returning to life.
This happens everywhere it seems. When I lived in Rogers Park, a small locale in Chicago, I'd watch the elders, mainly women from Eastern European countries, sit on the long, wooden benches that overlooked Lake Michigan\most of them wearing babushkas, talking together in strange dialects, and watching babies, always the babies!
In a way, it's the same kind of way that people lived in Mauritania-up until 2007 that is, and may continue to be. Living in a lifeless coffin of "old brained" cultural benchmarks.
While slaves aren't physically chained, the "colonization of the mind" is a deep, psychological wound and scar on people who've lived the experience. Many also consider that their enslavement is due to the 'will of God.'
Some also describe it as a caste system-today's slaves are descendants of darker-skinned ancestors made slaves centuries ago by the lighter-skinned White Moors, so this contributes to the tensions around slavery in this society. Slavery began in Mauritania as an "intra-racial" conflict due to the early presence of whites in the mix.
One young, Mauritanian girl, Haby, was raped countless times by one of her masters, they sent her to work with the herds, from early morning to late at night, then she was also responsible for the cooking and clean-up for everyone's meals, only to collapse into a stress-ripened sleep at the end of her day.
Hurt people hurt people. It's the law of the jungle. The masters, most likely, had been slaves once before-also oppressed-next, they became the feared, cruel masters, and their self-driven-deep-down pain still drove them to hurt their own slave-kin-Oh, Beloved, that's gotta be a sin or shortcoming!
The cycle of shame, must be declaimed for what it is-an endemic plague on the houses of all humanity. Was it the slaves fault that they self-sabotaged their own lives? No, absolutely not! It was not! Rather, it was a "slavish system" that aimed the atrocities at them,
yet one thing will not change: trauma turned in on someone will take a healing of memories, a healing of consciousness, a healing from the false methods that may have been used to heal, that only really harmed, a cleansing of images in the mind that stoke the fires of dis-ease.
In the poorer countries, apparently there may be no therapy available for post-rape or post-trauma incidents, and so the pains of slavery are transferred to the unconscious, ever-directing a victim to the need for therapeutic methods to assist in the healing process. If there's no help of this sort, the trauma's effects will get pushed down, without contact, and ways of coping are unseen or not understood.
The wrong or right, just or unjust, just don't really matter here-it's the pain from the original trauma that's the "realest" object to trust, therapy and sharing with others is a "must" with those who care: the communal-healing-system-round-table, will enable transformation to arrive in your heart's fruitful hive.
One young girl, Essatim, while a slave was raped constantly, and was severally bruised by the sexual abuse. She, as well, had no therapeutic means of healing; yet, the bravery and resiliency of the slaves is an amazing attribute to them as human beings trying to survive, under the harshest of conditions.

Sorry, Beardking. It sounded more generalized and condescending as it was meant. Of course Obama didn't right every wrong and a lot of people hoped for as much change as he promised - which they didn't get.I still believe that even the best leader, who manages it to make everyone's life significantly better, will hear complaints.
I wish someone had prepared me to find a major in highschool, which would have helped me choose the right college, which then would have put me on the path to a career. Maybe I am just blinded in my age, since its been a while since I was in school, but I don't recall a large effort going into preparing me for life outside of standardized testing.
Quote from: night_wrtr on February 22, 2016, 05:41:40 PMI wish someone had prepared me to find a major in highschool, which would have helped me choose the right college, which then would have put me on the path to a career. Maybe I am just blinded in my age, since its been a while since I was in school, but I don't recall a large effort going into preparing me for life outside of standardized testing.Sorry to go back in topics a bit, but I thought I'd address this, because I had a fairly different experience.It's possible that it's a phenomenon that began just as I got into high school, or perhaps its due to the culture in the area I attended school, but as someone who graduated college in 2013, I feel like this warning of "choose a profitable major" was one that was constantly spoken of, at least at the three schools I attended (high school, community college, and at my university, though less so at the university). There was always that supposedly opposing theme of: "pursue your dreams, find a career you really love, don't settle for anything less!" and it was a pretty powerful theme, which seemed to envelope the majority of schooling, but I feel like that was more something you'd hear from liberal arts teachers, whereas the college/high school counselors were constantly suggesting that we find something worthy of the large investment. At my high school, the standard advice from the counselors was always "if you don't already know what you want to do with your life, go to community college instead of a 4 year. Don't spend the money unless you already have a plan."I remember I had one teacher in high school that had worked in mechanical engineering most of her career, who was always giving us suggestions on related fields that were relatively cheap to get into (two year degrees, trade schooling, and so forth) that made a decent living, and even offered to help many of her students find jobs at places she had worked for, or with contacts she had made in the industry. It did seem, however, that it was always the teachers in STEM fields that gave this sort of advice, and at the high school I attended these weren't very popular classes short of the required minimum of basic chemistry, physics, and algebra. I think maybe that's how many of my friends say they never heard this advice, and it's kind of a shame (though I think a few of them are simply in denial).But I have to admit, I'm always baffled when a friend reveals they have 100k in debt, a four year degree in Critical Analysis of Cinema, and could not foresee their inability to find work in their field.
This said, I would never advocate someone selecting a career based solely on "profitability". Yes, I did choose a major/career that has proven to be profitable, but it was something I new I was interested in and enjoyed. There were few things I hated more during my time in college than getting stuck on a group project with people you could tell chose the major based on how much money they thought they could make. They had no interest in the material, they had no aptitude for it. They really just kinda sucked at it. I still run across people like that in workforce, but it is not as bad as it was in college (I think some were weeded out before graduation, I think others were weeded out during layoffs).

In an everchanging world where growth offers more for visitors to see and do, Northern California's Tuolumne County is keeping up with growing trends. New businesses, expanding businesses and new attractions await travelers to this area 2.5 hours east from the San Francisco Bay Area.
• Yosemite National Park never gets old, with 1,169 square miles to explore there is always an adventure to be found even from high above. Those looking for the ultimate Yosemite adventure can catch the view of the park from the sky in Northern California's Tuolumne County. While on a commercial flight, the naked eye can catch a glimpse of Half Dome, but the professional pilots at Yosemite Flight Tours will get passengers up close and personal with the park. With flights out of Columbia airport adventurers can choose from packages that include, soaring over El Capitan and Half Dome to Tuolumne Meadow's Grand Canyon of Yosemite, and sunset flights. Or, if the adventure calls for more national parks, they can take in a cool morning flight over Yosemite while en route to Death Valley.
• Head to the Yosemite Gateway town, Groveland, for some flashback features. Yosemite Pines RV Resort and Family Lodging is taking it back to the pioneering era for an overnight stay on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park. You can sleep in the all-new Conestoga Wagons for an updated Old West experience (they're loaded with all the features for "glamping" like Keurig coffee makers and air conditioning). There may not be horses to pull these old-fashioned wagons, but the resort is home to a petting farm with an array of animals. At night it's fun to relax around the fire-pit and enjoy the canopy overhead as there are no city lights to blur the sparkle of the starry night sky.
Gold Country-
• Inner Sanctum Cellars is expanding their footprint in Tuolumne County. Owners Pete and Karen Luckhardt have announced their purchase of the Columbia Nursery and Florist property in the 1850s Gold Rush town of Columbia. With the purchase came a floral business and a small café, which will reopen with a tapas style menu paired to go with their wines. "We envision everything from being a wedding venue to a music venue with our wines and winery being the center of that," says Karen Luckhardt. The new tasting room is set to debut the end of January 2019, with the cafe opening soon after.
• You may want to join Tuolumne County locals for a pop-up dinner with Gather Tuolumne. Owners of the well-established restaurant the Standard Pour, Meg McMahon and Season Ingram, collaborate with local farms and business owners to create unique dinners that are open to the public. Each dinner is different as they pop-up in locations across Tuolumne County, with the first being in Historic Downtown Sonora. The program saw such a huge success with their first few events, that they will be popping up all over in 2019.
• An iconic Gold Country building houses a new business. Dating back 159-years, the Historic Sugg House, which has items on display at the Smithsonian and is the oldest brick home in Sonora, is now home to Motherlode Grown, a local merchant store. The Sugg House was once a boardinghouse and there is historical evidence that suggests the Sugg House was involved in the Underground Railroad. Keeping the historical vibe of the building Motherlode Grown gives a fresh ambiance to the Sugg House with local merchant goods from Covers Apple Ranch, Inner Sanctum Cellars, Diestel Turkey, and many more local merchant products.
• An old-time store in an old-time town gets a facelift. The newly renovated Columbia Mercantile 1855 has called Columbia State Historic Park home since the 1800s, but recently after a few years of being shut down, the new owner, Teresa Torbett, gave new life to the Mercantile and re-opened this Columbia gem in Spring 2018. The new light and airy space mixes fresh modern goods with a historical feeling. Visitors can find local beer and wine, groceries and even Victorian tin toys.
• A staple Gold Country restaurant expands. Emberz is locally owned and located in the heart of Tuolumne County's Gold country on the main strip of Historic Downtown Sonora. Owners Cindy and Steve Zelinsky decided to expand their locally and internationally loved restaurant and take over the space adjacent to them. The new space adds room making for an open and airy vibe. In the new area, guests will find a wrap-around bar, plentiful seating, and a state-of-the-art self-serve wine bar. Yes, you heard that right a self-serve wine bar—just swipe a credit card, choose a size, pour, and enjoy some local liquid gold.
High Sierra-
• Black Oak Casino Resort has launched a new outdoor concert venue, Westside Pavilion. The summer concert series took off in Summer 2018 with world-renowned acts like Justin Moore, Smokey Robison, and Rick Springfield. With the success of filling the foothills with music and dance, they will once again host a summer concert series in 2019.
• Stephanie McCaffrey, owner of the McCaffrey House Bed and Breakfast, was awarded the Peggy Mosely Award for Best Innkeeper and/or Bed and Breakfast Owner in the State of California. The award was given by the California Hotel and Lodging Association. Stephanie is versatile--she prepares a feast for breakfast, acts as a local travel expert, and creates long-lasting relationships with her guests. .
About Tuolumne County, California
Tuolumne County rhymes with "Follow Me," located 133 miles/200 km east of San Francisco, is a pristine, scenic expanse reaching into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Gold was discovered in Tuolumne County in 1848, setting off the major gold rush of 1849. The main highways leading to the picturesque drive from the San Francisco and East Bay Area are Highways 108 and 120 from the west and Highway 49 from the north. The State Highway 120 entrance to Yosemite National Park is considered the "front door" of the park for the San Francisco Greater Bay Area. The Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park, and other surrounding areas provide natural vistas and settings for hiking, water skiing, horseback riding, rafting, camping, snowmobiling, boating, snow skiing, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Seven restored historic hotels, four golf courses, numerous and varied dining establishments, historic saloons, four wineries and hard cider distillery, train rides, casinos, seven museums, two state historic parks, two live theaters, many bed-and-breakfast inns, and a variety of Airbnb accommodations are among the many other attributes that make the county a year-round vacation destination.

On Tuesday 27 February 2018 we hosted parliamentarians at a drop-in event on our early advice campaign. Our campaign calls on the Government to provide legal aid for early advice in housing and family cases.
The event was a great success, with 25 MPs and staff in attendance. Attendees included 5 members of the Justice Select Committee including the chair of the committee, Bob Neill MP, the Shadow Lord Chancellor, Richard Burgon MP, the former Conservative Party leader the Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP, and prominent Labour MP David Lammy. You can write to your MP in support of our campaign.
The business for this week in Parliament includes the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, which will continue its Committee Stage in the Lords on Monday and Wednesday, and there will be a Select Committee evidence session on the progress of the UK's negotiations on EU withdrawal on Tuesday.
The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill began its Committee Stage in the Commons on Tuesday following its second reading in the Commons last Tuesday. In the House of Lords, there will be an EU Justice Committee oral evidence session on enforcement and dispute resolution following Brexit, and an oral question on rebuilding the lives of people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, tabled by Lord Goddard of Stockport.
Last week saw the Government further outline its position on Brexit, with a speech from Secretary of State for Exiting the EU David Davis MP on Tuesday, while the EU (Withdrawal) Bill had its first of ten days of Committee Stage in the House of Lords on Wednesday.
The Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee held a session on Wednesday on the Private Rented Sector, focusing on tenant's rights and Karen Buck MP's Private Members Bill, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation and Liability for Housing Standards) Bill.
The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill was debated at Second Reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday 20 February. The first day of Committee Stage will be held on Tuesday 27 February. The Law Society briefed a number of MPs before Second Reading.
Closing the debate for the Government yesterday, Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan MP outlined several key principles in the legislation:
Other key points from the debate included:
Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill Second Reading
The Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill received its Second Reading in the House of Lords on Tuesday 20 February. The Bill has already passed through the House of Commons.
In introducing the Bill, Lords Transport Spokesperson Baroness Sugg said that:
Westminster Hall Debate on Alternatives to a no-deal outcome in negotiations with the EU
On Wednesday, Antoinette Sandbach MP (Conservative), held a Westminster Hall debate on alternatives to a no deal Brexit.
Sandbach focused her speech on the concerns around trading with the EU on world trade organisations (WTO) terms. She specifically mentioned "service industries such as legal services" and noted that a failure to strike a deal could cost us about 75,000 jobs and £10 billion in tax revenue.
She suggested that re-joining the European Economic Area/European Free Trade Association would be preserve the UK's prosperity and provide an answer to many of the questions that ministers are looking at.
In response to the debate, Minister for Exiting the EU, Suella Fernandes MP said:
Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee session on the Private Rented Sector
On Wednesday the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee took oral evidence on two separate inquiries regarding the private rented sector and the Draft Fees Tenants Bill.
This was the fourth evidence session as part of separate inquiries into the private rented sector and the pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Tenant Fees Bill. The witnesses for the session were:
Highlights from the session include:
First day of Committee Stage in the Lords of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill
On Wednesday, the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill had its first day of Committee Stage in the Lords. In this session the Lords considered clause 1, which repeals the European Communities Act.
The Law Society has been working with the Bar Council to table an amendment to clause 6 of the Bill on jurisdiction of CJEU following Brexit. As a similar amendment has been tabled by Lord Foulkes (Labour), we are now supporting this amendment and have asked former Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge (Crossbencher) to speak on our areas of concern.
We have also been working with Shadow Opposition Brexit Spokesperson, Baroness Hayter (Labour). We have briefed her on two amendments on mutual recognition of qualifications and insolvency law. We have also asked her table to probing amendments on mutual recognition of judgments and rights of audience at EU courts. Although these amendments will not go to a vote, if tabled they will be an opportunity to hear the Government's view on these issues.

The Federal Trade Commission recently announced a settlement with Uber addressing charges against the ride-sharing company for deceiving consumers by failing to monitor employee access to consumer personal information and by failing to reasonably secure sensitive consumer data stored in the cloud. In its complaint, the FTC alleged that the San Francisco-based firm failed to live up to its claims that it had deployed reasonable measures to secure personal information stored on a third-party cloud to prevent and monitor employees from gaining access to consumers and other drivers sensitive information.
Uber stated it used a well-known third-party cloud storage service to maintain large amounts of sensitive information, including back-ups of its massive rider and driver databases. If consumers expressed reluctance to provide personal data, customer service reps eased their concerns by promising that Uber was "extra vigilant" and that their information "will be stored safely and used only for purposes you've authorized. From August 2015 until May 2016, Uber ignored alerts concerning the possible misuse of consumers' personal information.
In May 2014, an intruder used an access key an Uber engineer had publicly posted on a code-sharing site to access the names and driver's license numbers of 100,000 Uber drivers, as well as some bank account information and Social Security numbers. The FTC claims Uber didn't discover the breach for almost four months. The proposed settlement prohibits Uber from misrepresenting its privacy and security practices. It also requires Uber to put a comprehensive privacy program in place and to get independent third-party audits every two years for the next 20 years. You can file a public comment about the settlement until September 15, 2017.
If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud or identity theft:
- Contact the three Credit Reporting agencies – Transunion, Equifax, and Experian – to place a fraud alert on all your account. This should also be done for the student as well, since their Social Security Number is also at risk.
- Notify your bank and credit card companies of your situation.
- If you normally do online banking or manage your credit card accounts online, place alerts on each account so that you will be notified by email or text of any transaction, based on the parameters you set.

Research on sex workers has traditionally focused on issues of sexual health and violence; however, information on working conditions across different workplace types, and on workers' education, parental and relationship status, is increasingly being collected through surveys and small-scale qualitative research approaches (eg see Donovan et al. 2012; Perkins & Lovejoy 2007; Woodward et al. 2004). Although current research on sex workers often includes those who are migrants, existing literature specifically on migrant sex workers is relatively limited. This is despite widespread media reporting on the perceived relationship between migrant sex workers and trafficking, and documented cases of migrant sex workers experiencing exploitation and human trafficking (IDC 2014). In order to address this gap the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), in partnership with Scarlet Alliance, the Australian Sex Workers Association, initiated a project to explore the demographics, work conditions, migration experiences and access to services of migrant sex workers in Australia. This research was undertaken as part of the AIC's Human Trafficking and Slavery Research Program.
Research aims
The research aims of this project included an examination and identification of the migration experiences of migrant sex workers, sex workers' experiences in Australia, the working conditions migrant sex workers may face compared with non-migrant sex workers in Australia, and the extent of sex workers' access to services and information. The specific research questions included the following:
- What are the migration experiences of migrant sex workers? Detailed questions included:
- What birth countries and home countries have sex workers migrated to/from?
- What are the monetary costs, barriers and rewards associated with migration and how are these borne?
- What processes are experienced by sex workers in entering Australia (specifically the actions undertaken to arrange transport and documents for their journey to Australia) and how does this vary depending on the birth and home countries from which they migrated?
- What factors play a role in migrant sex workers' decision to relocate to Australia?
- What are the workplace experiences of migrant sex workers and how do these vary from non-migrant sex workers?
- What are the basic workplace conditions (eg workload, payment, conditions of employment) experienced by migrant sex workers? Detailed questions included:
- To what extent do these conditions vary between migrant and non-migrant sex workers?
- To what extent are migrant sex workers satisfied with their workplace conditions, and how does this compare with non-migrant sex workers?
- Do workplace conditions and satisfaction with workplace conditions vary with sex workers' home country and socioeconomic status in their home country (such as employment and education)?
- What (if any) negative experiences have migrant sex workers had with people in the workplace environment?
- Which specialised services (sexual health clinics, sex worker organisations and interpreter services) and government representatives have sex workers interacted with in the context of the workplace, and what was the level of this interaction?
- What services do migrant sex workers use, which are they familiar with, and what issues do they use them for?
- Do migrant sex workers experience difficulties in accessing these services?
- Where do migrant sex workers receive information and advice?
- How readily do sex workers identify government departments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as their main place of contact for certain issues? How does this vary with non-migrant sex workers?
- Do sex workers identify the police as the main point of contact for issues relating to criminal incidents? Does this vary between migrant and non-migrant workers?
A literature review was conducted and a survey of sex workers implemented to examine these questions.

By Matt Waters
The Achaemenid Persian Empire, at its maximum territorial volume below Darius I (r. 522-486 BCE), held sway over territory stretching from the Indus River Valley to southeastern Europe and from the western Himalayas to northeast Africa. during this ebook, Matt Waters supplies a close old evaluation of the Achaemenid interval whereas contemplating the manifold interpretive difficulties historians face in developing and figuring out its background. This e-book deals a Persian standpoint even if counting on Greek textual assets and archaeological facts. Waters situates the tale of the Achaemenid Persians within the context in their predecessors within the mid-first millennium BCE and during their successors after the Macedonian conquest, developing a compelling narrative of the way the empire retained its power for greater than 2 hundred years (c. 550-330 BCE) and left an important imprint on heart jap in addition to Greek and eu historical past.

There is an unbroken string of readers stretching back from us to Thucydides himself—more than one hundred generations of humans who, despite many obstacles, have derived pleasure and instruction from the text sufficient to ensure that it did not become lost, as were so many literary works of the ancient world. It is thanks to these readers that Thucydides is still here for us to enjoy—and there must have been moments in time when there were precious few of them. The Landmark Edition is intended to increase the number of general readers of Thucydides, both now and in the future, by assisting them to appreciate his great value as a historian, to consider the nature of historiography itself, and to learn about the extraordinary world of ancient Greece—from which our own still derives so much.
Indeed, it has been a pleasure to work with Crawley's prose, and during the compilation of this edition my admiration and respect for his writing and diction skills have grown immensely. Many of the best elements of this edition derive directly from the wonderful counsel and assistance I consistently received from many friends and colleagues, whom I try to acknowledge elsewhere. But since I did not in every case follow the advice of others, I must stand behind and be responsible for all errors of omission and commission, of which I can only hope that there are not too many.

When I placed an order from Adambeauty recently I found those interesting mask sheets from Creer Beauté featuring La Rose de Versailles (Lady Oscar anime series)... what lured me into buying these somewhat pricey masks ($5/piece) was the claim that these contain real gold! How cool is that!
The masks are individually sold. Each contains 27ml of beauty essence which is a tad bit much and makes the mask slide down a little.
The Gold Moisture Masks are scented nicely with a yummy peach scent which is rather unusual for Japanese brands as all the other Japanese sheet masks I tried were unscented (and I tried a few!)
The Gold Moisture Masks contain gold, hyaluronic acid and other plant extracts.
I ordered 2 masks and used both of them already. They´re really good and make my face very moisturized and soft.
Oh btw, you can´t see the gold at all, it must be nano-sized or something. The cut of the sheet is excellent and it´s made of a very soft cloth.
All in all very nice masks and worth getting a piece. They´re on the pricey side though so if you are on a budget you can definitely get nice masks from Kracie Hadabisei or other cheaper brands for less money =)
Retail 399 Yen per mask.

Batman V Superman gets a fan-made Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 style opening and it surprisingly works far better than you're thinking right now. DC's Batman V Superman and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy could not be further apart from each other in more ways than just box office earnings. One is dark and takes itself very seriously while the other is light and doesn't take itself very seriously at all (guess which one is which), so this is where the interweb steps in to put everything in perspective for us.
Twitter user Chandler Balli decided that he needed to make someone's dream come true, though we're not sure anyone ever really dreamt of this, but here it is anyway. Balli took to his Twitter page to share his version of a Batman fight from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set to the song "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra, just like the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And you know what? It works. It also unintentionally (or ironically) highlights just how violent Batman V Superman is, which this author did not notice at the time (maybe said author fell asleep during the movie...)
While Batman is brutalizing foes, the 70's mellow rock of "Mr. Blue Sky" is dulling the edges, almost transforming the fight into a violent ballet dance between good and evil. Balli even went so far as to add Guardians style credits over the fight to add to the authenticity. In fact, the only element that is missing is a baby Groot or Alfred plugging in the stereo and dancing while all of the carnage is going on, taking your eyes away from the violence. Mr. Balli posted his mash-up on Sunday and is already seeing clones of his work of viral art, but make no mistake people. This right here is the OG Batman Vs. Superman vs. Guardians of the Galaxy 2, no posers here.
In all seriousness, the video is absurd fun. It's a break from daily life to have a laugh and when thought of that way it's a success. Much like the 8-bit (though it looks 16-bit) trailer for The Last Jedi is great and has even gotten the stamp of approval from director Rian Anderson who praised the creativity of the fan-made video. The fan-made trailer for Back to the Future 4 is another one that comes to mind as showcasing creativity while simultaneously highlighting the demand for further Back to the Future movies.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is currently still number one at the box office and may be well on to its way of earning over a $1 billion at the global box office, which would be the 5th movie for Marvel to break $1 billion. Meanwhile DC is prepping Justice League for the official release in November and director Zack Snyder might possibly be looking into changing the soundtrack after watching Balli's video. Check out all 3 minutes of Batman vs. Guardians courtesy of Balli.

Estimation of chloride as silver chloride in a given solution
To estimate chloride as silver chloride in the given solution of sodium chloride or hydrochloric acid.
Principal: The estimation of a soluble chloride is carried out by precipitating it as silver chloride in the presence of nitric acid using silver solution as a precipitating agent.
Cl- + Ag+ AgCl
The white curdy precipitate of silver chloride is filtered, washed with dil. nitric acid, dried and weighed.
Solution: Prepare a solution by dissolving 4.9g or 6.53 g or 8.157 g of sodium chloride per litre. 25 ml of such a solution will yield 0.3, or 0.4 or 0.5 g of AgCl residue respectively.
(a) Precipitating reagent : It is 0.1 N AgNO3 solution which is prepared by dissolving 4.22 g of silver nitrate (A.R.) in 250 ml of distilled water. (b) Washing solution : (i) One is 0.1N HNO3 which is prepared by adding 3 ml of conc. nitric acid (A.R.) to 497 ml of water, making the total volume 500 ml (ii) Other is 0.01N HNO3 which is prepared by adding 10 ml of 0.1N HNO3 (prepared as above) to 90 ml water making the total volume as 100 ml.
(i) Precipitation : Measure out 25 ml of the given solution in a 500 ml beaker. To this add 50 ml of distilled water and 1 ml of conc. nitric acid (A.R.). Warm the solution at 700C and add 0.1N silver nitrate solution slowly with vigorous, constant stirring until precipitation is complete. Avoid a large excess of silver nitrate and carry out all operations in subdued light. Now wrap the beaker with a thick brown paper. Keep the beaker on a water bath for few minutes until the ppt. settles down and the supernatant liquid becomes clear. Allow the solution to cool a little and test the supernant liquid with a little more silver nitrate solution to ensure that precipitation is complete. If a ppt. appears, add more silver nitrate till the supernatant liquid yields a ppt. Again heat the beaker to 70 – 800 C
and stir constantly to coagulate the ppt. In case no ppt. appears, there is no need for adding excess of silver nitrate. After doing this test for complete precipitation, heat the beaker on a water bath. Cover the beaker with a watch glass and keep it about 25 minutes. Cool the beaker and keep it in dark for 1 hour to allow the ppt. to settle down.
(ii) Filtration and washing : Now transfer the supernatant liquid through a sintered glass crucible G – 3 previously cleaned, heated in an oven and weighed after cooling in a desiccator. Wash the ppt. by decantation 3 – 4 times with 0.1N HNO3 and the transfer the ppt. from the beaker to the crucible using a policeman to remove any adhering ppt. from the sides of the beaker. Now wash the ppt. in the crucible by 0.1N HNO3 until washings are free from Ag+ ions (when few-drops of dil. HCl are added to 10 – 15 drops of the filtrate, no turbidity should appear). Finally, wash
the ppt. with cold distilled water twice to free it from NO-
(iii) Drying and weighing : Dry the ppt. by keeping the crucible in an electric oven at 110 – 1200C for an hour. Allow the crucible to cool in a desiccator and weight it. Repeat the heating and cooling until constant weight is obtained.
The constant weight of the crucible = a g
The constant weight of the crucible AgCl = b g
Weight of AgCl = (b – a ) g
Now AgCl ( 143.34 ) = Cl- ( 35.46 ) = NaCl ( 58.46 )
Here Simple Calculation is : 143.34 g of AgCl = 35.46 g of chloride
(b–a)gofAgCl = 35.46/143.34x(b–a)g of chloride or 25 ml of the given solution contains
= 35.46/143.34 ( b – a ) g of chloride
Amount of Cl- ion present in one liter of the solution
= 35.46/143.34 x( b – a )x1000/25
= 35.46 x( b – a ) x40 / 143.34 g
Similarly, the strength of NaCl solution in g/liter of the solution
= 58.46 x( b – a ) x 40 / 143.34 g

I have deep respect for pain as not so long ago it was my best buddy. It had taken months for Carol Ann Clouston to tempt me to attend her Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® class.

If their child does not have visible motor skill delays, they cannot see why improving their movement is necessary, nor why it would impact a condition that is primarily social and behavioral.Although Feldenkrais Practitioners could never claim to "cure" autism, we are able to help with many of the symptoms of autism that contribute to family, academic, and social stress.Three ways the Feldenkrais Method can help those with autism:1. Sensory processing challenges2. Meltdowns, tantrums, and emotional overwhelm3. Repetitive BehaviorTo read more, click on the title link above. by: Amber Adams 4/30/2015 Comments Moving Beyond Limits: Children with Autism I have been teaching the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education since February 2007. Initially, I had no intention of working with children. My background was in Pilates, aerobics, and weight lifting; I was interested in working with anti aging and elite athletes. Little did I know, I would fall in love with working with youngsters during my training. Since then, I have worked with a number of children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with other neurological concerns.To continue reading, click on the title link above. by: Karen Toth, GCFP 4/30/2015 Comments Sean, Who Learned to be Tall A charming six year-old, Sean had bright red hair, twinkling green eyes and a spray of freckles. This solid little boy reminded me of Garrison Keillor's description of his home town "where all the children are above average." Sean had been born with a marked kyphosis, or a humped back. With guilty insight, his mother confided that she feared marital arguments had traumatized Sean during her pregnancy.

"We work through the behaviors first and then sort out the educational problems. I primarily use Awareness Through Movement lessons until I gain enough trust with the child to get them on the table for a Functional Integration lesson."To read entire article, click on title link above. by: 1/1/1999 0 Comments Compassion & Balance Inside & Out There's a paradigm shift happening today. More and more people are realizing we "think" with our bodies. This shift recognizes the power of learning from inside and not just our heads. For over 100 years, education has focused on teaching from our heads. Now a revolutionary look at how the body helps children understand information is coming alive in schools. Our bodies are one big sense organ developing memory and perception. Ken Robinson reminds educational specialists, "A good deal of brain activity is not apparent to the conscious mind. Much of its work is a silent traffic with the rest of the body's automatic functioning…" (Robinson, 2001, p. 99). Children prove this fact.

Long before verbal and cognitive development take center stage, we learn through our actions, through how we react to and interact with our environment and ourselves. By using movement as a vehicle for learning, we not only tap into these early learning patterns, but also into inherited ancient evolutionary patterns. This makes movement a potent and powerful learning tool.To read entire article, click on title link above. by: Sonja H.

This was her thesis for her Masters in Education from Boston University in 1987.Chava identified several ways in which the Feldenkrais Method develops neurological functioning for individuals who were not able to develop these functions in a natural way due to the disorder. First, a Feldenkrais practitioner interacts with the whole being of the child, observing and responding to the developmental, emotional and social needs of the child. by: 1/1/1999 0 Comments Waking Up James When I first met seven-year-old James, he showed definite signs of autistic behavior: no eye contact, random speech, inability to answer "yes" or "no" appropriately. He did not use pronouns, including "I." He would aggressively thrust his fingers at people, and pull toys apart with those same intense finger movements. by: Charlotte Palumbo 7/1/2000 0 Comments Stress at an Early Age We have created and now live in a fast paced technological world. Our children are taught about computers as early as elementary school, and the speed of computers doubles every 18 months.More and more children are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and other learning difficulties. They have short attention spans and are easily distracted. Often they run into behavioral difficulties and are on medication or have tried different types of behavioral modification. by: Linda Flanders 4/1/2001 0 Comments Stimulating Behavioral Changes in Children When I first met Enrique, a cute three year old boy, he stood by the doorway, tilted his chin downward, moved his eyes upward and growled at me. He wanted to play with a simple shape sorter. However Enrique had difficulty focusing, manipulating and matching the objects. He sat on his heels, leaned on one hand, and would not let go of one shape until another was given to him. Enrique required redirection to the sorting activity every 5-15 seconds. When it was time to put toys away, he cried and flung himself on the floor. In order to calm him, his mother quickly gave her son another object to hold. by: Joyce Ann OTR/L, GCFP 11/29/2012 0 Comments Learning to Crawl Most new parents hope and assume their infant will navigate successfully through all the normal developmental phases--rolling over, sitting up, and crawling.

She is a tiny child, blond, with thin wet hair plastered over her scalp, wearing a pink bathing suit. She is turning and allowing the warm water to cascade onto her back, her front, then on the top of her head, closing her eyes just at the right time to keep from getting water in them. Lifting her arms to feel the rush of water at her right side, her left side. Completely absorbed. by: Judy Windt, GCFP 7/1/2009 0 Comments Developing the Whole Child Feldenkrais practitioner Kathy Yates vividly remembers the first time she heard one of her young students with special needs talk. The child turned to her mother during her Feldenkrais lesson and asked: "Can I do this every day?" For children who have been through a variety of therapeutic interventions which they did not enjoy, the Feldenkrais Method is a revelation--as it is for their parents.To read entire article, click on title link above. by: Barbara Forbes, GCFP 10/26/2006 0 Comments Rolling with Possibility I. Options for those living with autism Autism is not well understood, and those living with autism have limited options for care and support within the public infrastructure. Jay Kolls, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh, writes that Autism affects 1 in 150 children. Paul Offit, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, acknowledges the perseverance and hard work of most autistic children and the incredible achievements of their families.

Artist: The Grateful Dead
Album: Mars Hotel
Song: Scarlet Begonias
At times I seriously think I was born in the wrong decade….
Many of my favorite artists were in their heydays well before I was born or when I was a bit too young to partake in catching them in a live performance. Even still, music has the ability to transcend generations and decades still proving to be relevant to listeners of today and still more to come years down the road.
While I didn't grow up listening to The Dead as I did the Beatles, Journey, and the like; one of my best friends in elementary school got me to listening at a pretty young age…12 or 13 years old, maybe. I pretty much immediately fell in love with their eclectic and unique stylings and arrangements; becoming enthralled by the drawn out jams held on various bootleg recordings.
I had one missed opportunity to see the band perform before Jerry Garcia passed away, when I was about 14 or so. Probably thinking it was a very WISE decision on my mother's part for saying "no" to me going to that concert; not necessarily the best surroundings for the naive 14-year-old I was if you know what I mean. Up until that point the only other concert I had attended (and twice I might add) was the New Kids on the Block… Quite a bit different from the Dead, wouldn't you say? But you see, even in my younger days, I had a wide range in musical tastes.
My Grateful Dead musical library slow grew over the years from more popular tunes such as Casey Jones, Truckin' and Touch of Grey to songs like Sugar Magnolias and Fire on the Mountain and further still to my most favorite Grateful Dead songs of all time which include but are not limited to……
- Ripple– Reminds me of driving down the mountain from my aunt's house to campus during the summer of 1999
- Box of Rain– Just an awesome up beat song; not to mention an awesome smelling incense and body oil sold at Earthshine in Edinboro, PA
- Althea– The intro to this awesome…. Just a kick back, chill, dig that I simply never tire of.
- Attics of My Life– the harmonies in this song are BeAuTiFuL!!!
- Ramble on Rose – Classic Dead
- Unbroken Chain-Absolutely stunningly, awesome song… Catchy as can be, and sticks in my head for days after listening
- Built to Last– GREAT lyrics; really hits home with me… Chorus, is the best
- Estimated Prophet– HAPPY song ( for me at least) it's got a sweet vibe
- Dark Star– beautifully arranged jam
And my all time favorite….
10.) Scarlet Begonias- I've got lots of memories of this song; from blasting it in my car and in my dorm room to chilling with friends. Lots of people have done covers of this song too…
From to Taylor Hicks….
to Jimmy Buffet….
to Sublime….
some were pretty good, but for me none is better than the Dead's version…
I definitely wouldn't classify myself as a Deadhead persay; as I was a good little girl, it didn't stop me from enjoying their music every second I get… many have a negatively perceived imaged attached as to what one is, but me…. I simply enjoy the music; I love the chill vibe I get from it; I love the arrangements… Quite simply I just LOVE the Grateful Dead, end of story!
What are your thoughts? …
Seriously, I was born a decade or two late… Just sayin'!

The scientific report guiding the US dietary guidelines: is it scientific? It has a big impact on the diet of American citizens, and those of most Western nations, so why does the expert advice underpinning US government dietary guidelines not take account of all the relevant scientific evidence?
Nina Teicholz reports The expert report underpinning the next set of US Dietary Guidelines for Americans fails to reflect much relevant scientific literature in its reviews of crucial topics and therefore risks giving a misleading picture, an investigation by The BMJ has found. The omissions seem to suggest a reluctance by the committee behind the report to consider any evidence that contradicts the last 35 years of nutritional advice. The guidelines are based on a report produced by a dietary guidelines advisory committee—a group of 11-15 experts who are appointed to review the best and most current science to make nutrition recommendations that both promote health and fight disease.
Saturated fats Low carbohydrate diets New strategies Recommended diets Notes. Pre diabetes. Experts: Eat More Fat. Credit: Iain Bagwell / Getty Images For more than half a century, the conventional wisdom among nutritionists and public health officials was that fat is dietary enemy number one – the leading cause of obesity and heart disease.
It appears the wisdom was off. And not just off. Almost entirely backward. According to a new study from the National Institutes of Health, a diet that reduces carbohydrates in favor of fat – including the saturated fat in meat and butter – improves nearly every health measurement, from reducing our waistlines to keeping our arteries clear, more than the low-fat diets that have been recommended for generations. Fairly new blog site. Big Sugar's Sweet Little Lies.
Chris Buzelli On a brisk spring Tuesday in 1976, a pair of executives from the Sugar Association stepped up to the podium of a Chicago ballroom to accept the Oscar of the public relations world, the Silver Anvil award for excellence in "the forging of public opinion.
" The trade group had recently pulled off one of the greatest turnarounds in PR history. For nearly a decade, the sugar industry had been buffeted by crisis after crisis as the media and the public soured on sugar and scientists began to view it as a likely cause of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Industry ads claiming that eating sugar helped you lose weight had been called out by the Federal Trade Commission, and the Food and Drug Administration had launched a review of whether sugar was even safe to eat. Consumption had declined 12 percent in just two years, and producers could see where that trend might lead. Worldwide Listings for Primal/Paleo Physician or Healthcare Practitioners.

Some people give me weird looks when I say something about nutrition that doesn't fit with the conventional wisdom they have believed all their lives.
But I've learned pretty much all of it from other experts that are way more knowledgeable than me. There are a whole bunch of doctors, scientists, professors and various experts all around the world who also believe that a low-carb, paleo type of diet is a better option. Here are 17 low-carb and paleo friendly medical doctors who have their own blogs and websites. The list is in no particular order. 1. Dr. List Of Low-Carb Doctors.

" It's the adage of body-builders everywhere, and, though technically we should say muscle is denser than fat, its message bears repeating: Muscle mass can have a big impact on weight. And yet, body mass index calculations don't distinguish between fat and muscle, nor do they take into account things like a person's frame size. They do, however, draw arbitrarily sharp divisions between what's considered normal, overweight and obese, even though individuals with a lot of lean muscle and little fat could fall into any of these categories. Big Sugar's secret documents echo tobacco tactics. When Cristen Couzens went on the hunt for evidence that Big Sugar had manipulated public opinion, she had no idea what she was doing.
She was a dentist, not an investigative reporter. But she couldn't let go of the nagging suspicion that something was amiss. Her obsession started in an unlikely place, at a dental conference in Seattle in 2007 about diabetes and gum disease. When one speaker listed foods to avoid, there was no mention of sugar. "I thought this was very strange," Couzens said. I Went to the Nutritionists' Annual Confab. It Was Catered by McDonald's. McDonald's sponsored the annual conference of the California branch of the nutritionists' professional organization.
Kiera Butler One recent Friday afternoon, in a Mariott Hotel ballroom in Pomona, California, I watched two women skeptically evaluate their McDonald's lunches. One peered into a plastic bowl containing a salad of lettuce, bacon, chicken, cheese, and ranch dressing. Home. I Went to the Nutritionists' Annual Confab. It Was Catered by McDonald's. The Fat Question: Why fat doesn't make you fat. There's a big ol' myth out there that stubbornly refuses to die.
It goes something like this: eating fat makes you fat. From a basic caloric standpoint, this appears to make sense. Fat contains 9 calories per gram, whereas carbohydrates and proteins contain 4 calories per gram. If calories were the only thing to consider, it would stand to reason that if you eat fat, you're going to gain weight because of the higher caloric load. Well, first off – let's clear up the calorie myth. So let's look at exactly what your body is DOING with fat. Why We Got Fatter During The Fat-Free Food Boom : The Salt.

Padres awaiting news on Morrow's shoulder
Upton Jr. activated; Myers goes 2-for-5 to start rehab assignment
Bill Center, longtime sportswriter for U-T San Diego, is an employee of the Padres.
There was good news on two injury rehab fronts Sunday.
• Wil Myers opened his rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso, going 2-for-5 with a run scored. Myers, who has been on the disabled list since May 11 with tendinitis in his left wrist, started the game in center field. He is expected to remain with the Chihuahuas through Tuesday.
• Center fielder Melvin Upton Jr. was activated from the disabled list after playing 13 rehab games with the Chihuahuas. Upton hit .280 with El Paso (14-for-50), with two doubles, a homer, six RBIs and four stolen bases. He had been on the disabled list since the Padres acquired him from Atlanta on the eve of the season opener.
To make room for Upton Jr. on the 25-man roster, San Diego optioned switch-hitter Abraham Almonte, who was hitting .186 with two doubles and four RBIs, back to El Paso.
• Meanwhile, the Padres are awaiting further word on right-handed starting pitcher Brandon Morrow, who came out of his second rehab start with Double-A San Antonio sooner than expected on Sunday, complaining of discomfort in his shoulder.
Plans to activate Morrow on Friday night for the opener of a three-game series against the Dodgers at Petco Park are on hold.
Morrow, who has been on the disabled list since May 3 with right shoulder inflammation, allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings on Sunday. He threw 49 pitches with 32 strikes. Morrow allowed two hits over four shutout innings in his first rehab start with the Missions.
From the scorecard
• Third baseman Will Middlebrooks extended his hitting streak to seven games Sunday, going 1-for-4. Middlebrooks has had exactly one hit in each game of the streak, going 7-for-24 (.292) with two homers and eight RBIs. It is his second-longest hitting streak of the season. Middlebrooks was 9-for-32 during an eight-game streak from April 14-22.
• Right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne allowed four runs on a pair of Jay Bruce homers in six innings Sunday in Cincinnati. The outing followed three excellent starts during which Despaigne allowed three runs on 18 hits and three walks over 20 innings. He is now 1-2 on the road this season with a 5.25 ERA in five games (four starts). Despaigne is 2-2 at home with a 4.31 ERA in seven games (four starts).
• Right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley allowed one hit with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings Sunday to run his scoreless appearance streak to eight games since May 17. During the streak, he has not allowed a run in 9 1/3 innings, surrendering only three hits and no walks with 14 strikeouts. Kelley's ERA has dropped from 9.35 to 4.50.
• Right fielder Matt Kemp is 7-for-16 during a four-game hitting streak, with two doubles, a homer and five RBIs.

US, UK caution against attempts to undermine Electoral Commission's independence in Nigeria
Newsroom24x7 Desk
Washington DC: US Secretary of State John Kerry and UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond today issued a joint statement to welcome the "largely peaceful vote in Nigeria on March 28.
Kerry and Hammond stated that the Nigerian people have shown a commendable determination to register their vote and choose their leaders.
The joint statement goes on to say; "So far, we have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process. But there are disturbing indications that the collation process—where the votes are finally counted—may be subject to deliberate political interference. This would contravene the letter and spirit of the Abuja Accord, to which both major parties committed themselves."
The Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom would be very concerned by any attempts to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission (INEC), or its Chairman, Prof. Jega; or in any way distort the expressed will of the Nigerian people, it has been emphasised.
