(This post is a part of a series entitled "Kate's Favorite Sabre Competition" in which I am choosing my 2007/08 favorite Sabre by process of elimination. Each and every Sabre is a hero, but in the end, there can be only one favorite.)
At this stage in the competition it is getting considerably harder to write funny posts about the remaining Sabres. I really like everyone left, and I don't particularly want to make fun of them! The only avenue of escape I can see is self-deprecation. So let's begin…….
Paul Gaustad #28
Dear Goose,
You and I could be so great together. You were born in Fargo, and I spent half of my childhood driving back and forth between the Twin Cities and Fargo to visit my Grandmother. You were raised in Portland, OR which is one of my very favorite places in the country. (I visit Portland at least once a year to see my best friend and my sister who both live there.) You love to read. Goose, I love to read too. In interviews you seem bright and articulate, and not just bright and articulate for an athlete, but bright and articulate for a human being! What fun we could have with the witty banter! I bet you know what a viola is, and I'm sure you'd enjoy watching Arrested Development. You're tall. I'm tall. You're affable and well liked, and I…..like likeable people.
There is one reason, and one reason only that you and I cannot be together:
You are far, far too good looking for me.
No, no, please don't argue…..hush. You know it's true, Goose.
If you were to become Kate's Favorite Sabre, I would be accused of choosing you because of your dashing good looks. (Goose, you are far and away the best looking Sabre; this much is beyond discussion.) A relationship between a fan and a Favorite Sabre cannot exist on Reading PSAs and the Fargo-connection alone. There are also jerseys to consider. I just don't think I can pull off a Gaustad jersey. I'm not sure that "Gaustad (I love him for all the right reasons, not just because he's hot as hell.) 28" would fit on the back of a jersey, and even if it did, it would be cost prohibitive. No, the sad truth is, a Gaustad jersey at this stage might as well say, "Gaustad (I like him because he's hot.) 28"
This can be a very good year for us. You are healthy, and the team will ask much more of you this season. Hopefully your tendon will hold up, and you will get to play a lot more minutes as part of an established line. The terrible reign of the Lauded Drury Work Ethic is officially over, and this is an area where you can naturally step in as a leader. You are known as a hard worker and a physical player. Just for good measure, let's see if you can't get into a few good fights and messy up those pretty features.
In the meantime, I'll increase my overall appeal by becoming a better hockey viewer. (Everyone knows that a woman's sex appeal is directly related to her level of hockey knowledge. Duh.) I'll do my best to learn all I can about hockey. I'll keep a watchful eye on you so that I can learn the finer points of your game. I'll work on my self confidence as a fan, so that next year, if while I'm wearing a Gaustad jersey someone says to me, "You just like him because he's hot", I can reply with righteous indignation, "No, I like him because of his high levels of BADASSERY…….the hotness is just a bonus."
Honking For You,
Teppo Numminen #27
I refuse to cut Teppo Numminen.
Teppo transcends this competition in every way.
I'm not cutting Teppo. I'm just leaving this picture for you to enjoy.
Before I sign off on this, the second to last stage of Kate's Favorite Sabre Competition, I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed writing these little Sabre profiles. I know it's been silly in here, but I feel like I have a much better handle on the team heading into the season. Oh sure, my profiles are utter inanity, but so is the off-season. The hockey off-season is crazy-making. It's not my fault.
Don't forget, I have no intention of sticking to my decision in this competition. This has been nothing but a juvenile, hollow exercise in futility……but please, stay tuned for the EXCITING CONCLUSION!

The Beneficiary
The beneficiary is the individual in whose interests the company is structured. Notionally, the directors and secretary (collectively the officers) manage the company and the shareholders (or members) own the company. However, unlike the officers and the members the beneficiary\'s name does not appear on public file.
Power of Attorney
In view of the public records not detailing the beneficiary\'s interests, it is imperative that correct power of attorney documents are held by the beneficiary and/or his legal representatives.
Typically the beneficiary is provided with a General Power of Attorney signed by the directors and secretary, however more complex or specific versions can be requested to manage control for certain individuals. For example the finance officer is only able to manage the affairs of the company bank account, whereas the Legal Representative of the company can solely execute contracts on the company's behalf.
Power of Attorney documents can be notarized via our offices in many jurisdictions, and we have frequent weekly visits to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in London.
It is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary to make returns to his domestic inland revenue offices if so required by local law.

My favorete studio ghibli anime is "Spirited Away".
I have watched it five times in cinemas.I like studio ghibli anime very much!
And I'm looking foward to watch "gake no ue no ponyo"(sorry, I don't know the english title.)
ohhhh spirited awway by far its like whhoooaa sugoi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol same same.......ur so right

I didn't like Spirited Away, I thought it was lame. Beautiful to look at though. My favourites of the ones I've seen are Only Yesterday and Grave of the Fireflies. I don't like all the fantasy stuff where people turn into spirits and whatnot.

Tama (Azukichi)'s delivery service, Kumamoto
A cat has already delivered 20 letters between two families who take care of it.
The cat, Tama, originally born at the Yamamoto's house 3 years ago, had gone somewhere when it turned to be 6 month old. After spending at its new home, named as Azukichi, of Uomoto, it came back to its original home.
Seeing it well-grooming, Mrs. Yamamoto attached a small message to it, "Does anybody keep this cat?". A few days later, she got a replay, "Are you an adult? I saw your good handwriting".
After several exchanges, she found that the present owner was a 15 year old student.
My favorite Ghibli movie is Spirited Away, but there are so many of them which are absolutely awesome! I'm trying to watch as many as I can before going to the Ghibli Museum in October, and so far they have all been extremely enjoyable, if not totally heart wrenching (Grave of the Fireflies )
I have seen (and own on DVD) every Ghibli movie ever made or far (is this sadness of devotion).
I really like a lot of Ghibli films because they do not spell thing out in large red capital letters like many other films these days and leave something of mystery. Hence, I own the whole collection. Then there is the romance, the sadness and transience of it all. Problem is that I hardly watch them, because if I watch one, then I have to watch them all...
Only Yesterday is my favourite because it is a love story that is very different to other love stories and it shows a lot of aspects of Japanese culture. Well, a lot a ghibli films do but this one showed family life, farming, a brief history lesson, country life e.t.c so it was a tapestry of infomation.
The second is Porco Rosso, another brillent love story but with excitement and pirates annd spunky girls
'Only Yesterday' is my favourite for this
The problem for me with Ghibli movies is picking my favorite. It depends on the mood and the crowd I'm watching it with. I have not seen a bad Ghibli movie, and I have most of them on my shelf.
I picked Totoro just because it is almost always an instant pick-me-upper. The detail of the Japanese countryside is amazing and the characters sneak into your hart.
Spirited Away and Howl's are amazing artworks in their own rights, but feel a bit "formula". Whisper of the Hart and only Yesterday have become my current favorites - the "slice of life" elements appeal to me and while they pull you into their angle of something very everyday, you get glimpses of the Japanese way of life, which quite a few on this board (myself included) might have romanticised.
Have watched Fireflies once and doubt I will be watching it soon again. It is an absolutely brilliant movie, but it just hurts too much to watch something like that. :-(
"Spirited away" it's one of the best anime I've seen
My favorite is Spirited Away. i watched in a Kyushy cinema on a 31 December just after a onsen with some japanese friends. That was just a great feeling !
My travel pictures : http://photosdevoyage.fr.nf/
My blog : http://bluesratapoil.blogspot.com/
Hmm I haven't seen that many Studio Ghibli films yet, but I'd have to say my favourites are Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. My Neighbour Totoro is incredubly cute as well.
I'd say that my favourite would be Howl's Moving Castle and The Cat Returns! I bought a box set of all the Studio Ghibli DVDs about a year back and it has been a blast to watch all these flicks once again!
I've been on a Miyazki flick kick for the past month. o_o I really love his/studio ghibli films. I've been rewatching most of the films on that list.
They're all very well done, it's hard to choose a faveorite. Although, I remember watching Tonari no Totoro when I was about 5, and that is usually a defualt pick.
I am afraid to watch Fireflies as well. Everyone I know says it's very sad.
Nausica, definitely. I've loved every Miyazaki film I've seen (I haven't seen them all yet) for one reason or another, but Nausica hit all the right notes with me.
Forced to choose, I voted for Mononoke Hime, although I do love Porco Rosso and always feel the heartstrings tugged a little with Grave of the Fireflies.
I have added Ponyo to the poll
Also anyone in the UK, Ocean waves has been recently released as part of the Ghibli Collection, subtitled only.
My favourite is Mononoke Hime.
It's the one that made the Ghibli Studio more popular here in Germany, though certain movies have been around for years on TV.
I watched a Ghibli short cartoon when visiting the Ghibli Museum, It was called Hoshi o Katta Hi, or The Day I Harvested a Star. It was in Japanese with no English subtitles so I didn't have much idea as to what was going on. It was still fascinating to watch. Not sure if you can watch the movie anywhere else apart from at the museum.
I say Princess Mononoke becuase it was like fast action from the start and gradually leads you into a moderate paced storyline without the boredum that forces you to sit thru it just becuase its a half disney japanese anime.

Precisely What Is AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY?
An annotated bibliography is a long list of citations to training books, content, and files.

Very first, find and document citations to textbooks, periodicals, and papers that might incorporate valuable facts and concepts on the issue. Temporarily investigate and look at the exact things. Then select all those will work that give several different viewpoints in your subject matter.
Report the novel, post, or file making use of the correct design.
Compose a compressed annotation that summarizes the fundamental style and scale in the guide or report. Involve a number of phrases that (a) study the influence or track record with the publisher, (b) discuss the created crowd, (c) assess or compare this make use of a different you will have mentioned, or (d) let you know that this perform illuminates your bibliography matter.

For support in critically appraising and evaluating the resources for your personal bibliography, find out how to Critically Examine Information and facts Options. For details on the author's background landscapes, consult with the useful resource workplace for assistance obtaining suitable biographical reference point components and publication evaluation resources.
Choosing Right Set up For That CITATIONS
Consult with your tutor to determine which design is favored to your type. Internet citation manuals for the Contemporary Expressions Connection (MLA) and also the Us citizen Mental Correlation (APA) models are related in the Library's Citation Control webpage.
Taste ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Admission To Get A Log Post
This instance employs APA fashion (Newsletter Guide book on the United states Mental health Correlation, sixth version, 2010)for any log citation:
Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., Andamp; Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily existing and also the deterioration of classic family members orientations involving the younger generation. American citizen Sociological Evaluation, 51, 541-554.The creators, investigators with the Rand Firm and Light brown School, use information out of the State Longitudinal Studies of Young Ladies and Teenagers to check their theory that nonfamily lifestyle by the younger generation changes their behaviours, valuations, options, and objectives, switching them of their idea in typical gender tasks. They get their theory powerfully reinforced in fresh girls, even though the influences have been a lot fewer in research of fresh guys. Boosting the time clear of mom and dad ahead of marrying elevated individualism, personal-sufficiency, and modifications in behaviours about people. On the other hand, an previous analysis by Williams reported under displays no essential sex variations in sexual intercourse part behaviour because of nonfamily life.
This case in point makes use of MLA fashion (MLA Manual, 8th version, 2016) for those record citation:
Waite, Linda J., et al. "Nonfamily Dwelling as well as the Deterioration of Classic Loved ones Orientations Amid Adolescents." United states Sociological Overview, vol. 51, no. 4, 1986, pp. 541-554.The creators, analysts for the Rand Company and Brownish University or college, use information in the Nationwide Longitudinal Research of Young Ladies and Boys to evaluate their theory that nonfamily dwelling by the younger generation changes their behaviour, beliefs, packages, and anticipations, relocating them using their understanding in standard making love positions. They discover their theory powerfully backed in fresh women, as the benefits have been much less in scientific tests of fresh guys. Enhancing the time clear of moms and dads just before marrying greater individualism, personal-sufficiency, and variations in behaviour about people. As opposed, an earlier on review by Williams reported down below exhibits no considerable sex variations in sexual intercourse job behaviour due to nonfamily lifestyle.
You might have just been supplied an project to compose an annotated bibliography. Before beginning, you should consider precisely what an annotated bibliography is and the ways to begin.
Initial, what exactly is an annotation?
An annotation is more than a concise review of a write-up, reserve, Webpage and other kind of distribution. An annotation need to give sufficient facts to develop a readers make a decision if they should look at comprehensive operate. To put it differently, in the event the website reader were actually checking out the very same issue as you may, is that this content helpful and when so, why?
How is surely an annotation not the same as an abstract?
Even though an abstract also summarizes a write-up, publication, Site as well as other form of distribution, it truly is totally descriptive. Even though annotations may be descriptive, in addition, they consist of unique functions about something. Annotations is often evaluative and important as we will have once we think about the two key different types of annotations.
Precisely what is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography happens to be an prepared listing of options (similar to a reference point listing). It is different from a uncomplicated bibliography in the each and every guide is combined with a section distance annotation, generally 100Andndash;200 words and phrases long.
Dependant upon the task, an annotated bibliography may have several applications:
- Supply a literature overview at a distinct topic
- Help you to put together a thesis over a area of interest
- Prove the study one has done on the specific issue
- Give samples of big resources located on a subject
- Identify items which other experts might discover useful on the subject
Different types of annotated bibliographies
The two main big forms of annotated bibliographies:
- Descriptive or educational
- Analytic or crucial
Descriptive or educational
A descriptive or beneficial annotated bibliography details or summarizes a supplier along with an abstract, it represents why the cause is wonderful for studying an individual subject or query, its unique options. Also, it details the author's major reasons and findings with no analyzing exactly what the publisher states or wraps up.
By way of example:
Reproduction wicked. (2005, August 6). Economist, 376(8438), 9. Retrieved from http://www.economist.com
This editorial out of the Economist talks about the debate encircling gaming systems along with the outcome they already have on those who utilize them. The writer indicates that disbelief newest media channels go directly back to time of your historical Greeks, and this debate encompassing computer games are few things new. This content also indicates that almost all pundits of video gaming are men and women around 40 which is a concern of several years not comprehension the other person, instead of with the activities on their own. Because the youngsters nowadays get older, the dispute will kick the bucket out, as reported by the publisher. The creator on this content challenges age issue through physical violence when the genuine basis for opposition to video gaming and strains the best video gaming does in many aspects of man lifestyle. This post is exceptional in studying the dispute adjoining gaming systems from your generational perspective as well as being prepared for your normal visitors.
You should observe the very last phrase. Though it highlights special functions regarding the product it can do not review the author's findings.
Logical or vital
An analytic or essential annotation not simply summarizes the fabric, it analyzes precisely what is becoming mentioned. It examines the weaknesses and strengths products is offered in addition to talking about the applicability of your author's findings on the analysis remaining performed.
For much of your annotated bibliographies, on the other hand, you will definitely be creating analytic or crucial annotations.
One example is:
Reproduction bad. (2005, August 6). Economist, 376(8438), 9. Retrieved from http://www.economist.com
This editorial out of the Economist identifies the dispute around computer games as well as the results they already have on individuals who make use of them. This article indicates that the majority experts of gambling are folks in excess of 40 in fact it is a worry old not on the computer games theirselves. While article writer lightly mentions research finished across the dilemma of abuse and game playing, he is not going to enter into adequate level for any visitor to actually know all the different research which may have essentially been performed here, aside from to use his concept which the scientific studies are poor. This writer of the post strains age component above abuse being the actual basis for opposition to video gaming and strains the nice gambling did in many parts of our lifestyle. This post is an effective source of information for all attempting to start to examine the conflict adjoining online games, nevertheless for anybody accomplishing severe exploration, one ought to essentially analyze many of the studies that were completed here instead of take the author's expression that opposition to gaming systems is just because of a problem of generational separate.
Be sure to take note of the previous phrase. It criticizes the creators investigation.
Take note that of these examples, the citations continue with the APA style. Your trainer might demand that you use one other citation structure, for instance MLA, check very first.
To begin
Now you are prepared to start crafting your personal annotated bibliography.
- Select your solutions Well before composing your annotated bibliography, you need to pick your providers. This requires performing exploration a lot like for just about any other undertaking. Discover data to supplies that might pertain to your theme.
- Study the things Then evaluate the specific products and judge people that deliver numerous types of viewpoints on the subject matter. Short article abstracts are of help on this method.
- Publish the citation and annotation When creating your annotation, the full citation ought to appear 1st as well as annotation adheres to. Based on the form of annotated bibliography you will be composing, you will need to contain:
- The intention of the project
- An overview of their written content
- For what sort of market the process is created
- Its significance towards the subject matter
- Any particular or distinctive characteristics concerning the substance
- The skills, flaws or biases inside the materials
Annotated bibliographies might be established alphabetically or chronologically, talk to your trainer to check out what they favors.

This Game's Ending Was No Slam Dunk
So I normally don't comment on individual games, but the ending to the Suns/Spurs game was hilarious.
Richardson made the highlight reel, alright, but for the wrong reasons. The two-time dunk champion slammed the ball off the back of the rim and the rebound was corralled by Ginobili, who had trailed Richardson up the floor. The game was far from over– the next 40 seconds would see a little heroism and some unexpected errors from members of both teams –but that play defined the Spurs 113-110 victory over the Suns this afternoon.
The two-time dunk champion missed a breakaway dunk and pissed away what chance the Suns had at winning that game.
Another thing I need to comment on is that for the longest time I heard John Madden announcing football games I kept thinking to myself, "enjoy this because he won't be around forever." Well, Madden's gone. Now the next announcer I'm having these feelings for is Hubie Brown. He's going to be missed whenever he steps away from the mic.
Workout At Home
You know, I could go on the exercise bike for two hours or do a double-shift on the Soloflex and not get as sore as I do when I clean house. My God.
Then again, when I'm on the Soloflex I'm only focusing on one part of the body. Vacuuming/dusting/changing litter/etc. is a full-body workout.
I'm such a housewife.
Pardon The Suspension
So Tony Kornheiser was on his radio show and said some not-so-nice things about ESPN cohorts.
The gasbags behind the mikes at ESPN, and ESPN properties such as ESPN-1050, shout on many subjects. The recent controversy involving PTI co-conspirator Tony Kornheiser and Clown Communinty College anchor Hannah Storm is not one of them.
When Big Brother Bristol muzzles the talkies, they stay muzzled. Or maybe the yakkers know where not to tread.
When ESPN bosses don't like what's coming out of Kornheiser's mouth, they simply suspend him for a couple of weeks. This ain't the first time he was temporarily deep-sixed.
In case you were smart enough to ignore this latest alleged controversy, Kornheiser was busted after auditioning for the next Fashion Week, commenting on an outfit worn by Storm. Kornheiser, whose wardrobe can best be described as Retro Schlubby, called Storm's threads "horrifying."
"She's got on red go-go boots and a Catholic-school plaid skirt," Kornheiser said. "Way too short for somebody in her 40s."
There was also a joke about Chris Berman. Why type it out when it's available online…
And of course ESPN has replaced Tony with Dan LeBa-retard on Pardon the Interruption. This of course begs the question: Who is getting punished here — Tony or the audience?
If he has the financial means to leave that show, I hope Tony goes somewhere else and spends the rest of his days ragging on ESPN. What a bunch of bitches. In addition, if ANYONE on the Boo-Yah Network makes fun of any person out there, I hope the person offended launches a crusade of threatened lawsuits and other gibber gabber until ESPN passes a policy forbidding ridicule of ANYONE. When one person/topic is deemed "out of bounds," EVERY person/topic should be deemed "out of bounds."
Brain-Dead Protest
They're said to utter little more than an occasional groan, but zombies — the blood-drenched monsters of Hollywood "B" movies — still have a right to free speech, a US court ruled this week.
I still don't know what's going on.
An appeals court in the northern US city of Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday allowed a group of zombies — or rather, several protesters costumed as such — to press ahead with their lawsuit against police who arrested them for disorderly conduct.
The appeals court overturned a lower court in finding that the group of seven "zombies" had been wrongfully detained during a 2006 shopping mall protest against consumerism.
The three-judge panel, by a two-to-one vote, ruled that Minneapolis police lacked probable cause to arrest the demonstrators for disorderly conduct.
At the time of the protest, the plaintiffs were wearing makeup that gave them a "living dead" look: white face powder, fake blood and black circles around their eyes.
They lurched stiff-legged through the halls of the mall urging shoppers to "get your brains here" and "brain cleanup in aisle five."
Oh God.
"An objectively reasonable person would not think probable cause exists under the Minnesota disorderly conduct statue to arrest a group of peaceful people for engaging in an artistic protest by playing music, broadcasting statements (and) dressing as zombies," the appeals court ruled.
The decision allows the protesters to revive their lawsuit against Minneapolis and its police, which according to the Star Tribune newspaper seeks damages of at least 50,000 dollars per person arrested.
$50,000 per person?! Wasn't this about FREE speech?
Now here's my question: did this protest take place in the public domain or in a mall? The article states two different things…
They lurched stiff-legged through the halls of the mall urging shoppers to "get your brains here" and "brain cleanup in aisle five."
But the appeals court sided with the protesters in ruling that police had no reason to imprison them simply for "dressing as zombies, and walking erratically in downtown Minneapolis," the court decision said.
…and I don't care enough about this story to look up which side is right.
If they really want to be zombies, we should treat them as such.
They can't sue you if you make them dead.
A Killer Whale Of A Story
Maybe this was the reason my Shamu image was found by the Photobucket Gestapo: An APB on killer whale images, perhaps?
Despite calls to free or destroy the animal, SeaWorld said Thursday it will keep the killer whale that drowned its trainer, but will suspend all orca shows while it decides whether to change the way handlers work with the behemoths.
Also, VIP visitors who occasionally were invited to pet the killer whales will no longer be allowed to do so.
"We're going to make any changes we have to to make sure this doesn't happen again," Chuck Tompkins, chief of animal training at SeaWorld parks, said a day after a 12,000-pound killer whale named Tilikum dragged a trainer into its pool and thrashed the woman to death as audience members watched in horror.
Talk-radio callers, bloggers and animal activists said Tilikum—which was involved in the deaths of two other people over the past two decades—should be released into the ocean or put to death like a dangerous dog.
Put down a wild animal for doing what it's supposed to do. And people want it to be put to death. Wish we could do the same thing with humans.
And for this "history of killing other people…"
Tilikum was one of three orcas blamed for killing a trainer in 1991 after the woman lost her balance and fell into a pool at a Sealand theme park near Victoria, British Columbia.
OK. And now for "victim #2."
In 1999, the body of a naked man was found draped over Tilikum at SeaWorld in Orlando…
Sorry, but I can't help it…
…Officials said the man had stayed in the park after closing and apparently fell into the whale tank. An autopsy found he died of hypothermia. Officials also said it appeared Tilikum bit the man.
Good to have you back, http://www.ableherbs.com.
Snow Records Fall Down
So this afternoon I heard via an Atlanta-based radio station (go figure) that Shittsburgh now has its highest snow accumulation total for a month on record.
This is normally the part of the entry where I link to an article to solidify my credentials as a member of the NeW mEdIa, but I can't find one. Oh well.
Hellz yeah. I just experienced history. And this record was achieved in the shortest month of the year.
If you're going to do something, you might as well go all-out. I don't want to one day say to someone, "Yeah, that winter of 2010 was really bad. That February had the THIRD-HIGHEST snowfall accumulation of ALL TIME~!!!"
I want to say, "Bitch, that winter of 2010 was really bad. That February had the HIGHEST snowfall accumulation of ALL TIME~!!!"
That's just how I roll.
Slovakia's Dark Prince On Skates
So one of my Facebook peeps posted the following update: "great title for news story on nhl.com–satan lifts slovakia."
He's talking about Miroslav Šatan, who has one of the greatest names in all of sports.
This got me the thinking. It's too bad hockey isn't big with the Hispanic population. If so, we could have had a face-off between Satan and another player named Jesus.

"There is no lawful authority for judges or a court to direct the law enforcement activities of a county sheriff. He is not part of the judicial system. He holds executive power. He can set up a court, empanel a jury, and can even try judges or federal officials who violate the law…A Sheriff takes on the special responsibility of preserving and protecting the rights, liberties, and freedoms of the people within his county against unlawful acts, including any unlawful act committed by public officials working in the government. He has a direct obligation toward the people living within his county." - Bernadine Smith, founder of the Second Amendment Committee
Waco – Jason Attas was surprised by a series of e-mails he received from homebuilder Marvin Steakley. Looking back, he says he still does not understand what a dispute over a homebuilding contract has to do with who the next Sheriff of McLennan County will be.
He is a commercial real estate agent of the J.S. Peevey Co., and a close personal friend of the McNamara family.
These e-mails alleged that since he, Mr. Steakley, was involved in a legal dispute with retired Texas Ranger Matt Cawthon and his wife Shelly over a cost-plus building contract to build their custom home in a suburb near Waco, that he, Mr. Attas, should not support Parnell McNamara for Sheriff in a race against Chief Deputy Randy Plemons.
According to Mr. Attas, the material he received from Mr. Steakley claimed that Mrs. Cawthon had slandered him, defamed his character by calling him a thief and a liar.
In the e-mails, Mr. Steakley questioned the quality of character and suitability of the personality of Marshal McNamara's close personal friend, Matt Cawthon.
Marvin Steakley
The exchange of e-mails began after Mr. Attas penned a letter to the editor of the local daily, expressing his opinion that Mr. McNamara is a good choice for Sheriff.
Furthermore, he alleged that because the ex-Ranger, who now works seconded to the Department of Justice as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal and employed by the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, refused to pay him an estimated cost overrun of approximately $70,000 over the estimated amount they agreed upon, he should question the character of Parnell McNamara and his fitness to be the Sheriff.
What followed was a rich stream of the ins and outs of pending litigation between his company and the Cawthons.
"He initiated all this...He just volunteered all this," said Mr. Attas, sounding rather puzzled, even though the intervening months have given him a chance to get used to Mr. Steakley's actions.
"I think it's petty," said Mr. Attas.
It is no secret that Mr. Cawthon favors Mr. McNamara for the elected position, nor is there any mistake that they are sidekicks and very good friends to one another.
But beyond that point, Mr. Attas, recalls, he became very confused as to what Mr. Steakley expected him to do with the information he had received through an e-mail from this stranger, Steakley, the homebuilder from Houston.
So, he told him so in e-mailed replies, and then turned the correspondence over to the Cawthons' attorney, Henry Wright, of Waco.
"I'm not sure what any person is supposed to do with this information," Mr. Attas replied to Mr. Steakley.
Mr. Wright obtained a protective order from the judge enjoining Mr. Steakley from further propagation of any such personal information about the Cawthons' financial affairs.
"What I got from Steakley was a handful of e-mails about what he sent to the Sheriff," Mr. Attas recalls. "He did not send me the same material he sent the Sheriff."
Mr. Steakley admitted under oath that he did, indeed, send personal banking records such as cancelled checks, credit card statements, the couples' loan applications, bank statements, their social security numbers and personal cell phone numbers, to Sheriff Larry Lynch and Deputy Plemons.
Both have denied they received any such information.
Mr. Cawthon said in an interview on the day he received the Court's protection against any further revelations that a confidential informant came forward to let him know that the matter had been under discussion in the Sheriff's office, that there was abundant evidence that Sheriff Larry Lynch and Chief Deputy Randy Plemons had, in fact, received the information.
One of the chief allegations of complaint in Mr. Steakley's suit was that of defamation of his character in a one-page excerpt of an e-mail between Mrs. Cawthon and her banker, Mike Schmidt of American Bank in Waco. In that e-mail, she ventured the opinion that Mr. Steakley is a thief and a liar, and that she, Mrs. Cawthon, intended to run him out of town.
Obviously, the 11 women and 1 man on the jury believed her. Truth is an absolute defense against the charge of criminal libel, slander and defamation of character.
A week of evidence and testimony elicited from witnesses and exhibits, including examination of Mr. Steakley and his son, Andrew, revealed enough information about the matter that the jurors were convinced by a preponderance of the evidence that what Mrs. Cawthon had written to Mr. Schmidt is the truth.
The homebuilder lost his bid to make the Cawthons pay money he said they owed, received a take nothing judgment on his claim of slander and libel, and was ordered to pay the Cawthons' attorneys' fees in the matter. This led to a week-long jury trial in 74th State District Court in Waco. The questions were among 19 they were instructed to decide by Judge Gary Coley before returning a near-unanimous 11-1 verdict in some of the questions, and agreeing unanimously on the rest.
Where did Mr. Steakley obtain the memo Mrs. Cawthon wrote to her banker, Mr. Schmidt?
Only Ranger Cawthon and his attorney, Henry Wright, have asked that question, said Mr. Attas.
"It came from the discovery materials she was ordered to turn over to Steakley's attorney...Shelly Cawthon was not going to be accused of withholding any information she was ordered to produce."
This is what Mrs. Cawthon wrote to Mike Schmidt of American Bank:
"...I hope that we can obtain enough information to file criminal charges on them...I am going to make it top priority to ruin their reputations in this town..."

Council rejects vehicle screening ordinance
The Conroe City Council rejected an ordinance Thursday that would require business owners to screen vehicles on their lots more than 30 days.
In a 2-3 vote, Mayor Toby Powell was the tie breaker voting against the ordinance that initially received support from the council during its Wednesday workshop. Councilman Jody Czajkoski was absent from the meeting. Councilmen Duane Ham and Raymond McDonald were the nay votes.
"I cannot support this right now the way it is written, I'm sorry," said Ham. "I think it is just too vague right now."
Director of Community Development Nancy Mikeska presented the ordinance to address the vehicles. She noted the ordinance was not for junk or wrecked vehicles which are already required to be screened by state law. It also did not include tire shops or oil and lube businesses. The ordinance specifically addressed repaired vehicles or vehicles waiting for parts.
"If it is legitimately being repaired and turned over in less than 30 days than the ordinance would not impact that business," she said.
One concern, Mikeska noted, are the repaired vehicles or ones waiting on parts parked in the business's parking lot forcing customers to park in the street.
"This is a problem," she said.
Powell and McDonald were supportive of the ordinance Wednesday.
"It is something that has been needed for a long time in the city of Conroe," Powell said.
McDonald agreed with Powell adding he liked the 30-day requirement.
However, both men voted against the ordinance Thursday.
"I like where we are looking but would like to get it nuanced down a little bit," McDonald said Thursday adding the city staff should reach out to business owners for feedback.
The council will revisit the ordinance at a later date.

VIDEO: Bodycams, Store Cameras Capture 2 Shooters In Gunfight With Cops
Sandy Malone
New Orleans, LA – Police released bodycam video from a shootout at a CVS that showed the suspects opened fire on responding officers (video below).
The incident occurred at about 6:06 a.m. on June 17 after two suspects entered the Uptown CVS drug store, tied up the clerks with zip ties, and forced one of the employees to give them access to the pharmacy, WVUE reported.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said that once inside, the suspects emptied the pharmacy's safe and filled up a trash bag with bottles of "pharmaceutical drugs," according to the Times-Picayune.
Police received an emergency call alerting them to the armed robbery at 6:08 a.m. and New Orleans police officers responded to the store within two minutes.
Surveillance footage from the store and bodycam video showed officers arriving on the scene and briefly surveying the situation inside the store.
Inside, bodycam video showed they spotted at least one of the suspects at the end of the aisle with a gun in his hand.
The officers backed out of the store and took up positions of cover on either side of the exit.
Shortly thereafter, the store's video showed the suspects approaching the doors of the CVS and then dropping the trash bag full of pills so that bottles spilled all over the floor.
Then the video showed one of the suspects pulled a pistol from his waist and began shooting through the open doorway at the officers.
The first shot struck New Orleans Police Officer Chad Clark in the shoulder.
In Officer Clark's bodycam video, the officer said "oof" as he was struck by the suspect's bullet.
Another officer's bodycam showed the exact moment Officer Clark was shot, and again the officer made the noise as he dropped to the ground.
"108, 108, 108, 108," an officer can be heard repeating into the police radio to signal officers' in distress and needing assistance.
The wounded officer got back up and backed away from the doorway to take up a position at the corner of the building, but he stayed in the fight despite having been shot, bodycam videos showed.
Surveillance video from inside the store showed the second suspect also drew a pistol from his waistband.
The suspects fired several more shots and then made a run for it out the doors, pointing their handguns at officers and firing as they ran, the video showed.
Officers returned fired and engaged in a running gun battle with the suspects as the men raced across the parking lot.
The suspects were struck with bullets multiple times, and dropped to the pavement more than once as they fled. However, their bullet wounds did not stop them from shooting back at police and narrowly escaping the parking lot.
Superintendent Ferguson said ballistics had determined that of the 40 shots that were fired during the confrontation, 29 were fired from New Orleans Police Department-issued weapons, the Times-Picayune reported.
Alan Parson, 18, collapsed nearby in the 1300-block of Lyons Street and was captured.
Richard Sansbury, 26, was apprehended more than two hours later after police found him hiding outside a residence on Upperline near Coliseum Street, the Times-Picayune reported.
Both suspects were hospitalized and treated for multiple bullet wounds before they were released back into police custody.
Officer Clark was transported to the hospital and treated for the gunshot to his shoulder, but has since been released and is recovering at home, according to police.
All three officers involved in the incident were placed on desk duty as is protocol for that department in officer-involved shootings, the Times-Picayune reported.
Superintendent Ferguson said the department's internal investigation had determined the officers acted justifiably.
The superintendent said that the surveillance and bodycam videos showed "beyond doubt that the suspects bear complete responsibility for what transpired."
He said that Parson and Sansbury acted with "the boldness of individuals who intend on doing harm to our community," the Times-Picayune reported.
Superintendent Ferguson gave kudos to the officers and said video from the incident "shows how brave and courageous our officers are in doing what they were sworn to do."
Parson and Sansbury were both charged with armed robbery, false imprisonment, and attempted murder of police, the Times-Picayune reported.
The judge set Sansbury's bail at $1.15 million.
Parson was being held on $1.7 million bail, the Times-Picayune reported.

ATTACKED! What Are You Going to Do?
How Are We Going to Respond to Attacks?
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A Muslim Palestinian teenager, Muhammad Nasser Tarayra, was killed by a security guard on Thursday morning in an Israeli settlement in the southern occupied West Bank after carrying out a "martyr" attack--
repeatedly stabbing a 13-year-old Jewish girl, Hallel Yafa Ariel, in her own bedroom.
Shortly later, Hallel died from the murderous attack.
from http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=772054
Two months earlier, Muhammad's cousin, Yousef, was shot while committing a vehicular attack against Israeli soldiers.
Muhammad wrote on his Facebook page,
"Yousef is not the first martyr nor the last / and before he is my cousin he is a son of Palestine / God willing I will walk in the martyr's footsteps / God have mercy on him and take him to heaven."
After Muhammad's murder of the 13-year-old girl, his mother stated that she is "proud" of her son, and that her son is a "hero."
"My son died as a martyr defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque..."
"Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, he [my son] has joined the martyrs before him, and he is not better than them. Allah willing, all of them will follow this path, all the youth of Palestine.
Allah be praised."
A sister of the killer said, "My brother is now a martyr. May God judge the Jews, and may my brother be content with his portion in paradise."

"Japan's China war produced notable cases of atrocities that, then and later, captured world attention."
"They included the Nanjing Massacre, the bombings of Shanghai, Nanjing, Hankou, Chongqing and other cities, the enslavement of the comfort women, and the vivisection experiments and biowarfare bombs of Unit 731."
"Less noted then and since were the systematic barbarities perpetrated against resistant villagers, though this produced the largest number of the estimated ten to thirty million Chinese who lost their lives in the war,
a number that far surpasses the half million or more Japanese noncombatants who died at the hands of US bombing..."
#10E U.S. Counter War-Responses: Later Intentionally Firebombing 67 Japanese Cities Including Tokyo and Atomic Bombing Hiroshima/Nagasaki--killing at least 500,000 civilians, most burned to death.
In the firebombing of Tokyo alone, 100,000 died, and 1,000,000 were injured.
In contrast, at the start of WWII, President Roosevelt had warned European nations, "under no circumstances [to] undertake the bombardment from the air of civilian populations or of unfortified cities."
The U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey provided "a technical description of the firestorm and its effects on Tokyo:
"The chief characteristic of the conflagration . . . was the presence of a fire front, an extended wall of fire moving to leeward, preceded by a mass of pre-heated, turbid, burning vapors . . . . The 28-mile-per-hour wind, measured a mile from the fire, increased to an estimated 55 miles at the perimeter, and probably more within. An extended fire swept over 15 square miles in 6 hours . . . . The area of the fire was nearly 100 percent burned; no structure or its contents escaped damage."
"...probably more persons lost their lives by fire at Tokyo in a 6-hour period than at any time in the history of man. People died from extreme heat, from oxygen deficiency, from carbon monoxide asphyxiation, from being trampled beneath the feet of stampeding crowds, and from drowning. The largest number of victims were the most vulnerable: women, children and the elderly."
How do you think we ought to respond to attacks by others?
Here's the answer of only one man in response to a single attack:
*"Bishop Donald Tippet of New York City had a scar that ran across his forehead and he was
blind in one eye from two men who robbed and mugged him.
After his hospitalization, he decided to declare war on them. He went to the jail to visit them and told them God loved them and had a purpose for their lives, and he wasn't going to leave
them alone until they discovered that purpose.
He visited them weekly, and finally led them both to Jesus Christ. He went to their parole hearings, and testified on behalf of the two men who had blinded him. Finally, he told them that when they got out of prison he would help them finish high school, and then he would help
them finish college if they chose to go.
One didn't go to college, but the other did. He made outstanding grades, went to medical school, and became an opthamologist!
Donald Tippet won his war. He took back enemy territory. He would have added to the enemy's victory if he had allowed vengeance and hatred to fester in his heart. Every time we join with Satan's hatred, it enlarges his territory. Every time we add to his violence, it enlarges his territory.
We are called to take back enemy territory. This young man became a restorer of vision instead of a taker of vision.
He became a healer and friend; he was lost and now he is found...Donald Tippet declared war, and
assaulted those two men with love; he hurled forgiveness and grace at their hearts,
and he stabbed them with truth and compassion.
That's how God fights wars. If you want to control somebody's body, kill them, put them in shackles and in jail, but if you're after somebody's heart, the only weapons that work are the weapons of Jesus

New Boots Spotlight on Women in Trades July 2018
Feleena Byno
Since it's July, we thought it would be a great time to highlight the Landscape Horticulturist skilled trade that makes our sceneries and communities so beautiful at this time of year!
Feleena Byno is a red seal journeyperson landscape horticulturist and has been in her skilled trade for over 15 years. She currently works for the City of Fredericton. When Feleena finished high school, she wasn't sure what to pursue so she took a year to reflect. During that time, a chance encounter with a friend who was studying landscaping at NBCC, it dawned on her, that's what she wanted to do! She enrolled in the program at NBCC Woodstock in 2003 and was lucky to find 3 other female students, the most women graduating from the program had ever had at that point! Feleena has had great work experiences prior to obtaining her red seal in 2012, including working at Kingsbrae Garden in St-Andrews and Evergreen Garden & Landscaping in Saint John and Moncton, where she became foreperson. Wanting to start a family and be back home, she took a job with the City of Fredericton as a casual, which quickly turned into a full-time position. She loves her job and they have invested in her education and her career progression, sending her for CHT, ICPI and wall certifications. What she loves the most about her skilled trade is "that you are able to see exactly what you've accomplished and it's out there for everyone else to see too". If she were to offer some advice to a girl thinking of pursuing a non-traditional skilled trade, be it landscaping or any other, she would say "to absolutely go for it! It will have its ups and downs but its all worth it in the end. " When she isn't working, Feleena is a proud and busy mother of three young kids, who enjoys outdoor activities together.

Unprecedented events happen all the time. Yet, a drastic turn of events had happened to a 15-year-old girl who was reported to be gang-raped. Unexpectedly, the event was filmed and posted on Facebook Live and over 40 people had watched the brutal act.
According to USA Today, the 15-year-old had been missing since Sunday from her home in Lawndale and was found by the Chicago Police on Tuesday. The photos from the attack found by the mother and was then shown to Superintendent Eddie Johnson. The girl's uncle was then mentioned to be the one who came across the video and told the mother.
Yet, the drastic part is that aside from the video being posted, among the 40 identified to live stream the act, no one ever called the police or authorities. The girl's mother then said that someone doing something like that and just posting it on Facebook like a joke is just terrible.
"The superintendent was visibly upset when he saw the pictures of the girl and was dismayed when he learned that people were watching the incident live and no one called the police," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi stated.
Nonetheless, Facebook was mentioned not to comment on the deleted content of the assault. Whether the video was flagged by any users who had seen it wasn't answered. It was just released in a statement that they are ensuring their responsibility for their user's safety. Contents similar to the hideous crime was also said in the statement to not be allowed to be posted on Facebook.
Rest assured, Fox News mentioned that the girl is now with her family and in a hospital near the area in a stable condition. The Chicago Police then tweeted that they are making good progress in identifying the persons of interest as the indecent criminals responsible for the hateful act.
UPDATE: CPD making good progress identifying persons of interest in 10th Dist assault. Interviews ongoing but no formal suspects named yet

Albion Sands Beach is a little secluded sandy beach in Pembrokeshire that any family will love for a Family Day Out.
Albion Sands Beach is just west of the better known and larger Marloes Sands, it's actually easier to access it from the beach at Marloes via a scramble over the rocks between Gateholm Island and the coast.
Albion Sands is very similar to Marloes Beach, same amount as wonderful wildlife and same need to keep an eye on the high tides as leaving your exit from the beach too late will push you up the steep cliff path.
There is no lifeguard service here and dogs are allowed on the beach all year round

Have you ever wondered about exactly what makes the perfect pot of coffee? Determining what your specific tastes are is the first step to making a great cup of coffee. Learn more about the components of good coffee in the article below.
When you only want to have one cup of coffee, try using a single cup machine. These devices let you make just one cup and offer a wide selection of coffee flavors. Take a good look, because each of the Keruig makers offers different settings to suit your individual wants.
Consider trying a French press when brewing your coffee for a richer more robust flavor. Paper filters tend to absorb coffee's flavorful oils. A French press uses a plunger for steeping the beans. The oils will stay in your coffee, giving it more flavor.
If you prefer to purchase whole coffee beans, do not grind the beans ahead of time. Coffee begins to suffer flavor loss once it is ground. If you grind too soon, the quality of your coffee will deteriorate.
Does your coffee taste okay? Your coffee will taste better if you first let the machine brew just water while it heats up. Once the pot of water is heated up, continue with your coffee grounds. This is also a good way to clean your machine.
You should only use those coffee grounds produced free of pesticide use. Coffee absorbs most of its flavor from the soil in which it was grown. For this reason, the best tasting brewed coffee is that which is grown organically.
Iced Coffee
If you like iced coffee, brew a strong pot in the evening and leave it in the fridge. This can keep the coffee from becoming diluted by adding hot coffee to ice. Also, add cream, sugar and any other flavors just before putting it into the fridge. This way, you can enjoy a great cup of iced coffee the next morning.
In order to make good coffee, you must use good water. Bottled water lends itself to the perfect brew. It may cost a little more, but the flavor is well worth it. Instead of purchasing bottled water, you can use a purifier on your faucet. You will not get the same taste as bottled but it will be better than tap water.
The coffee is the most important factor in how your drink will taste. Look at the choices in your community shops. You may discover beans that have been roasted recently. If you reside in a less populated area or you simply cannot find any, consider purchasing them online. Though this route may cost a bit, you are still unlikely to spend as much as you would at a coffee shop for a cup of joe.
Make sure you use clean and fresh water whenever you brew coffee so that it tastes good. The water will have an influence on the overall flavor of your beverage. Taste the water that will be used to make coffee before you use it.
If you must redice sugar in coffee, there are other alternatives. Agave nectar is a great alternative, as it gives you the sweetness that you need without the negative health consequences. Splenda and Equal are great alternatives to sugar in your coffee as well.
French Press
If you like strong coffee, a French press is a must. More oil is squeezed out of the coffee beans when a French press is used, and that results in better tasting coffee. Traditional coffee machines contain paper filters that remove the oils during brewing.
Choose a coffee grinder with conical or flat grinding burrs. These shapes prevent too much heat from being produced. This improves the taste of the coffee. A grinder with a blade isn't that consistent. They generate way too much heat, and can actually burn the beans.
You might really want to drink your coffee when you wake up, but resist the urge to do so until the pot has finished brewing. While some machines have features to do this, your coffee's quality will suffer. It would be wiser to purchase one that includes a timer. This way, you can have your coffee brewed before you get up.
If you like changing up the flavors of your coffee, then consider creamers and syrups to add in after you brew. The flavors won't contaminate your machine if they are added after brewing. This also allows you to serve different flavors from the same pot. Add any additional flavors prior to the milk. This gives them a chance to dissolve entirely.
Now that you know a little more about making coffee, you can decide what you want to put into your next cup. Perhaps you would like to sample a range of options. Maybe you want a different style of coffee. Think about the tips presented here when you brew up your next pot of coffee.

It's been a busy few weeks at work and I have been meaning to get around to visiting the Veggie Pret in Broadwick Street since it opened! Last week I finally managed to keep my lunch free and make the 20 min walk from my workplace to Soho.
Tucked away in the heart of Soho was this bright green sign which you can't miss with cute carrot trees! (not shown in the picture but its on the other side of the road!)
Once I walked in I knew I was in heaven, there were so many options to choose from I couldn't pick! Fortunately before I left the office I had a quick look at the website to see what they had to offer –this definitely saved me a lot of time! Using the handy filter feature on the website I knew what I could and couldn't eat and what I really wanted
I was surprised there wasn't a queue however I guess I am quite late jumping on the bandwagon and most people have already been!
The menu was pretty impressive with a variety of options such as:
- Fruit Oat and Spelt Cookie
- Avocado & chipotle chickpeas salad wrap
- Courgetti veggie pot
- Cucumber & humous on rye
To view the whole menu click here
I chose the Mezze salad (and yes I know it is available in most Pret branches) however I was really looking forward to the tasty red tapenade! (Pret if you're reading this please share the recipe!)
After that super tasty salad I opted for the Cacao and Orange dessert pot and it did not disappoint! It was super sweet (possibility a bit too much) however it tasted like a Terry chocolate orange moose (which is my favourite Pret dessert!) I could only manage to eat half of it, luckily for my sister I saved her the other half!
I was super full from all that yummy food so I didn't get a chance to eat the chocolate coconut bite but according to my granny it was better than bounty! And she is a Bounty connoisseur so it must be good!
Would I visit again? Yes, however I do tend to find Pret a little expensive however it's definitely a treat for me now and again. Especially as Veggie Pret it's a long walk from work!
To find out more information about the Veggie Pret see the details below:
Location: 35 Broadwick Street, London, W1F 0DH

We're super excited that LitHub has launched Book Marks, the new "Rotten Tomatoes" of literature. And, it seems, it's not just us. It's actually gotten some pretty great press coverage.
Lit Hub's Book Marks is a filter. There are many books and many book reviews in the world. Book Marks tries to increase the potency of those reviews so that readers don't have read 10 reviews in 10 different papers and come up with their own grade. The site displays this info in a nice, clean way. If readers don't find it helpful, they don't find it helpful! Nothing is stopping them from reading the entire literary internet every day.
Assistant editor Jess Bergman told The Associated Press during a recent interview that the goal of Book Marks was to build on Lit Hub's mission of providing information for the reading public.
"We're trying to spread the word about literature," she said. "There are so many great books that come out every year and we want to help people make educated decisions."
Book Marks launched Tuesday with an initial library of roughly 500 titles and will continue adding at a pace of up to 50 per week, Hunter estimates. The site only includes books that have been reviewed at least three times by outlets on a growing list of dozens of sources—from The New York Times to The Stranger, Harper's and the Los Angeles Review of Books. A small staff finds and reads reviews closely before assigning a letter grade to each one based on how positive or negative it is (though professional critics are invited to submit their own grades for books based on reviews they've written). The individual marks are used to calculate an average, which appears as the book's grade on the site.
Literary Hub, colloquially known as LitHub, launched little more than a year ago, in April of 2015. Yet, through extensive relationships with authors and other literary publications around the web, the site has already established itself as one of the internet's premier spots for book news and writing. And it's only about to become more popular, most likely, as the site has just announced (and launched!) Book Marks, a criticism aggregator that gathers writing from around the internet (and print publications), smooshes all the pieces together, and then creates a nifty letter grade that represents the overall quality of a book.
It's something so many of us readers are guilty of: allowing aggregated user reviews to influence which books we pick up. But while these star systems featured on Amazon and Goodreads serve a purpose, they loom too largely over reader activity. Which makes sense; they're the only quantitative assessments we have of books' worth.
That's why Literary Hub, a site dedicated to book news, essays and excerpts, has launched Book Marks, which they call a "Rotten Tomatoes for books," aggregating professional critics' takes on new literary novels and assigning them a letter grade.
But perhaps Book Marks' greatest strength is that it can function as an alternative to Amazon, which has become a default source of information on books, despite its often contentious relationship with the literary world.
We hand built this custom new feature for the Lithub site from the ground up to be fast, flexible, and easily customized not to mention beautiful. What can 42 Solutions do for you?Book Marks, HTML5, Lithub, PHP, Web, WordPress

The concept of digital currencies continues to perpetuate. News that China's central bank will launch a state-backed cryptocurrency and initially seven institutions will have access to this digital currency. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which is considered the second largest bank in the world, the Bank of China, the Agricultural Bank of China, along with, Alibaba and Tencent, Union Pay, an association of Chinese banks, will receive the cryptocurrency. Separately, the Intercontinental Exchange announced that it will begin to make payouts to customers in the form of digital currencies as opposed to fiat currencies such as the dollar.
What Technology is Going to be Used?
While the development of the new Chinese cryptocurrency is secret, there are leaks that point to a digital currency that uses blockchain. Rumors say that the cryptocurrency has been ready since last year and that the cryptocurrency could launch as soon as November 11, China's busiest shopping day, known as Singles Day.
Distribution of the PBOC Digital Currency
The seven institutions that receive the central bank cryptocurrency will act as a distribution network. At the time of launch, the recipient institutions will disperse the cryptocurrency to 1.3 billion Chinese citizens and others doing business in the renminbi, which is China's fiat currency. The expectations is that the central banks cryptocurrency will be distributed around the global and eventually land in countries like the United States through relationships with correspondent banks in the West.
The distribution plan which uses some of the most respected Chinese companies and banks is slightly different than a distribution that is occurring via individual firms. For example, Facebook's planned libra cryptocurrency will be backed by a basket of currencies issued by central banks. The Bank of England governor Mark Carney floated the idea of a new currency backed by several central banks to replace the US dollar as the global reserve currency.
Intercontinental Will Payout in Cryptocurrency
A recent announcement by one of the world's largest financial exchange institutions will make digital currencies a payout mechanism. International Exchange, which is the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, will offer futures contracts paid out in cryptocurrencies toward the end of September. This is for customers who engage in crypto trading. The company made the announcement that it had won the charter from the New York State Financial Services Department to hold investors' digital coins. The company's Bakkt business will offer the contracts and hold the cryptocurrency. The futures contracts were already certified by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The announcement further enhances idea that people could use cryptocurrencies for items beyond an investment vehicle.
Bakkt, the company that won the chart, and the newly approved Bakkt Trust Company is qualified to hold custody of traders' bitcoin tokens. Founded in August 2018, the company has partnerships with Starbucks and Microsoft. The Intercontinental Exchange has always had a long-term goal is to utilize cryptocurrencies for daily payments.

People don't judge a book by its cover, do they?
Of course they do.
Whether it's the presentation of your food at a fancy restaurant or the latest Apple product, humans just seem to love things that are beautifully designed.
And the same goes for this website. If you're not presenting your visitors with an attractive site and packaging your products nicely, you're definitely leaving money on the table.
Attractive web design has always played a key role in successful online sales and marketing. That's because it increases the perceived value of your products and works to make your website (and business) seem more trustworthy.


text: Digital Jerry Saltz Takes on MoMA's Lack of Female Artists via Facebook By Steve Delahoyde|June 24, 2009 Share By Steve Delahoyde|June 24, 2009 Share Staying in the museum world for a bit longer, Art Info has the goods on a bit of heated discussion at the hands of New York's art critic, Jerry Saltz. At the start of the month, the critic posted to his Facebook account that he wanted to know why MoMA's collection, on the 4th and 5th floors of their building, only featured 19 pieces by women, roughly 4% of the total. This led to lots of high-profile people in the industry, including MoMA employees, chiming in to give their two cents. Since then, Saltz has moved beyond Facebook, sending a letter to curator Ann Temkin asking for a response, with some very strong words: "…if we can try to close Gitmo, we can try to close this sad gap at MoMA." Makes for some good reading and thinking all around. Share http://adweek.it/2m1Aiec copy Adweek Adweek


text: Feminism Spans GENERATIONS Women from their teens through their 70s expressed what feminism means to them and why we still need it. Even with their different stages of life, career paths, and backgrounds, the women's thoughts on feminism repeated one theme: everyone needs it, every gender on the spectrum, everywhere in the world. We have come a long way, but we must continue to rise together. Libby Jacobs, 69, Retired Theater Director Feminism is the acknowledgement that women should be granted the same rights and opportunities as men—socially, economically, politically, educationally. Biology does not dictate social and intellectual abilities. The movement is most effective when NOT viewed as strictly oppositional, women against men. Men can be strong, persuasive feminists. Kristin Trippett, 36, Dispatcher for Emergency Resources have the same rights and privileges as men—and other women—do. As long as feminism isn't intersectional and women's rights aren't equitable to ALL women (women of color, disabled women, LGBTQ) then we still have a ways to go. Just because some populations, like women, technically have equal rights under the law doesn't mean that the same things are as easily attain- able and accessible to them. Rev. Nettie Jorinda Bullitt, 71, United Methodist Pastor and Certified Professional Coach As white women, it's privilege to be able to say fem- inism is no longer necessary or that it's a bad thing. Millions of women do not have that privilege, and it's disgusting to me when white women say they have equality, so therefore there's no need for protests and marches. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are still rampant. Sexual assault and domestic violence are barely punished. Even if you've never been treated un- equally, we should all stand together and fight for those marginalized to have the same treatment. We need fem- inism. We need to start raising boys who are feminists. Feminism is not a negative thing; it means equality for all humans. Feminism means to fully embrace and articulate the pursuit and experience of the abundant life, God's plan for us, when created in His image, male and female. "God blessed them and said to them 'be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it,'" basically "rule over it!" (Genesis 1:26ff ). GAIN MASTERY OF THIS LIFE! Feminism is how women gain and perpet- uate mastery of this life. This is why I was compelled to participate in the women's march on Washington D.C. The mission of Daughters of Deborah Leadership Min- istries LLC, which I manage, is to encourage women and girls to recover God's plans for their lives. Jesus said "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Gaining mastery of this life means abun- dant living as we determine for ourselves. Ashley Boynes-Shuck, 33, Author and Patient Advocate Josselyn Crane, 34, Owner/Jewelry Designer for Falkora Jewelry Women have come a long way thanks to feminism and movements towards equality, but we aren't there yet: not until all women, and not just *some* women, Feminism is about how damaging gender roles and defining people solely based on gender can be. The gen- der binary hurts women because they have less power 16 INSPIRING LIVES SPRING 2017
