Carrying all of the attributes of a globalized unconventional war to affect "regime-change", the war on Syria has polarized the regional and international landscape perhaps more than any other conflict since the collapse of the Soviet Bloc three decades ago. A good part of that polarization still revolves around the "meaning" of a decade of ongoing death, destruction, displacement, and despair in Syria today.
The narratives of the Syrian War couldn't have been so diametrically opposed, with an anti-Syrian axis trying to impose, through its omnipotent presence, a self-serving version of events. Only this concoction of international and regional villains has had a historically proven record of occupation, interventionism, covert operations, and reactionary proclivities. Therefore, its charade of humanitarianism and liberal rhetoric goes not only against its quintessential grain, but against the very facts on the ground, namely: 1) their active support of terrorist, takfiri, and secessionist groups in Syria, be they local or imported from outside Syria, 2) their imposition of a criminal blockade on Syrians in those parts of the country which are not controlled by terrorist, takfiri, or secessionist mobs, that is, on most of Syria, 3) their pillage and plunder of natural resources in occupied parts of Syria, and 4) their launching of military strikes against the Syrian Arab Army and/or its allies, that is, against the only bulwark standing between terrorist, takfiri, and secessionist hordes on one hand, and Syria on the other.
Moving back and forth between personal eyewitness testimonies and a broader objective contextualization of the Syrian conflict, "Voices from Syria" debunks disinformation about Syria with primary personal accounts, evidence, documentation, common sense, and sheer reason.
While deconstructing the fallacies shrouding the Syria War with lies and innuendos, "Voices from Syria" tells the story of a gruesome case-study of a Fourth Generation Warfare in progress, its mind games, and overlapping theaters of mayhem. As such, Mark Taliano proceeds agilely to link this particular case-study with two important catalysts without which it cannot possibly be understood: 1) global strategies to subjugate independent states to an overarching matrix of hegemony, i.e., imperialism, 2) the dark forces lurking in the deep recesses of that matrix, i.e., international financial capital, and its links to its facades, and its regional and local proxies, be they state or non-state actors.
So in the end, "Voices from Syria" becomes a case-study of the use of local and foreign terrorists, foreign-financed NGO's, massive disinformation campaigns, and regional allies in conducting asymmetrical warfare to subdue and tear an independent state asunder, in conjunction with standard tools from the imperialist toolkit like occupation and selective military strikes by the US government and NATO allies.
In terms of literary style, "Voices from Syria" is both personal enough to convey the suffering of the Syrians living through the calamities of the war on their country in their own voices, and general enough to tie that suffering into the wars on Iraq and Libya and the occupation of Palestine, that is, into imperialist designs for the region as a whole.
In the process, Mark Taliano emerges as an unconventional leftist, who uses his analytical tools to explore the topology of real contradictions on the ground, and to pick his side accordingly. The point, after all, is to be anti-imperialist, if one is to be progressive at all. Alas, this is precisely the point too often missed by the liberal leftists who end up storefront preachers for imperialism.
Especially in the 21st Century, pro-imperialists sometimes adopt leftist jargon, and those actually bearing the full brunt of the resistance against imperialist hegemony may sometimes seem too far removed from anything progressive by the standards of Western leftists. Not being able to discern which stances are effectively anti-imperialist and which are not has been the downfall of too many a leftist. Mark Taliano is one of the select few who do NOT make that mistake. He is able to stay open to the nuances of the local culture without preconceived Euro-centric 19th Century notions. This enabled him to see the alignment of forces on the ground as they actually are. Reading reality rigorously is what it is all about. In this case, "Voices from Syria" presents the reality of the war on Syria better than anything one can find in the mainstream.

mPGES-1 Null Mice Are Resistant to Bleomycin-induced Skin Fibrosis

INTRODUCTION: Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is an inducible enzyme that acts downstream of cyclooxygenase (COX) to specifically catalyze the conversion of prostaglandin (PG) H2 to PGE2. mPGES-1 plays a key role in inflammation, pain and arthritis; however, the role of mPGES-1 in fibrogenesis is largely unknown. Herein, we examine the role of mPGES-1 in a mouse model of skin scleroderma using mice deficient in mPGES-1.
METHODS: Wild type (WT) and mPGES-1 null mice were subjected to the bleomycin model of cutaneous skin scleroderma. mPGES-1 expressions in scleroderma fibroblasts and in fibroblasts derived from bleomycin-exposed mice were assessed by Western blot analysis. Degree of fibrosis, dermal thickness, inflammation, collagen content and the number of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive cells were determined by histological analyses. The quantity of the collagen-specific amino acid hydroxyproline was also measured.
RESULTS: Compared to normal skin fibroblasts, mPGES-1 protein expression was elevated in systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts and in bleomycin-exposed mice. Compared to WT mice, mPGES-1-null mice were resistant to bleomycin-induced inflammation, cutaneous thickening, collagen production and myofibroblast formation.
CONCLUSIONS: mPGES-1 expression is required for bleomycin-induced skin fibrogenesis. Inhibition of mPGES-1 may be a viable method to alleviate the development of cutaneous sclerosis and is a potential therapeutic target to control the onset of fibrogenesis.

Ireland has to date received €300m from the EU's €55bn Framework Programme Seven (FP7) and this is expected to increase to €600m by 2013 – signally an upsurge in science and R&D activities in the country.
FP7 funding is significantly 'backloaded' with most of the funding due in the last three of the seven years of the programme.
Ireland, despite being 20th in population size, is 13th in terms of the share of budget awarded and ninth in terms of the success rate of applicants.
Ireland success rate for being granted funding is 22.9pc – above the EU average of 21.5pc.
EU Commissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn said that 15pc of the €18bn worth of FP7 calls between now and July 2012 will be earmarked for SMEs.
"Upcoming FP7 calls in July 2011 and July 2012 will be worth approximately €18bn, with some 15pc earmarked for small and medium enterprises (SMEs)," Geoghegan-Quinn said.
"The breadth of sectors covered by FP7 includes agriculture, fishing, food, bio-technology, nanotechnology, climate change, environmental services, transport, health, energy, information communication and technology, new materials, security and space.
"Ireland's continued strong participation will contribute to transforming the EU into an Innovation Union by 2020. We need to properly use new research that we develop so that we can create novel goods and services that the people will use, improve our quality of life and build a better society both in Ireland and in a European context," she said.
Examples of Irish FP7 R&D projects
Among the examples of Irish R&D work that has successfully attained funding are scientists at NUI Galway, who are leading a team of experts from 16 research institutions in Europe, China and Japan in an important EU-China research project into early cancer detection.
The international team is working on a simple blood test for cancer which would do without the need for biopsy. The project is partly funded by a €3m grant under the 7th EU Programme for Research (FP7) and also under the EU's Specific International Cooperation Action Programme.
Another example is the Micro-ECM (electrochemical micro-machining) project, a €1.2m FP7 project co-ordinated by the Institute of Technology Sligo with two Irish SMEs, CDAMC Ltd in Donegal and Vox Power in Dublin, as well as partners from the UK, Germany and Belgium.
As products are becoming smaller, lighter and more compact, and standards and quality requirements are rising, micro-machining is becoming ever more crucial in manufacturing.
The SME partners in this consortium aim to develop a more precise ECM machine – thus among other things improving fuel injection systems and making cars greener – as well as having applications in the medical device and aerospace sectors.
No room for complacency
The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton, TD, said there has been a substantial improvement in Ireland's R&D performance in recent years and that the FP7 funds played a key role.
"I have consistently said that if we are to get out of this crisis and create the growth and jobs we so badly need, we must focus on three things: reducing business costs, improving access to finance and encouraging R&D and innovation.
"This €55bn EU fund is a fantastic resource for people and organisations involved in R&D across the continent, and I am delighted to see that we in Ireland have taken full advantage by drawing down €300m since 2007.
"We have achieved a substantial improvement in our R&D performance in recent years and the FP7 funds played an important role in that.
"However, there is no room for complacency, we must be ambitious about what we can achieve in this area, and I would strongly encourage people to ensure that we take full advantage of these funds. I am determined to ensure ambitious Government policies are in place to ensure that we can continue to improve our R&D performance and get people back to work," Bruton said.

Paris - Celebrated French fashion house Christian Dior sprung for a luxury jet-set tour of the globe at Paris fashion week on Monday, presenting a cross-continental look at haute couture with a collection inspired by the four corners of the world.
Women from Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa were the inspiration for Dior's artistic director, Raf Simons, in his Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 Haute Couture show, a collection of over 50 looks that unfolded like a smorgasbord of luxe.
Draped silk dresses in shades of periwinkle and coral, beaded petticoats, sequined columns of high gloss sequins and bold tribal graphics - all were designed to appeal to the atelier's well-heeled clientele across the globe.
Haute couture is the creme de la creme of the 212 billion euro ($275 billion) global luxury industry. Within that universe, Dior - owned by LVMH, the world's top luxury group by sales and market value - holds a coveted role as the pinnacle of elegance.
"The collection evolved to be about Dior not just being about Paris and France but about the rest of the world and how many fashion cultures impact on the house and on myself," said Simons in the show's liner notes.
Simons tapped into the ultra-feminine classic Dior look with waist-cinching structured herringbone jackets given a modern lustre from transparent sequins, but also opted for fluid, relaxed looks whose draping recalled Japanese kimonos.
A standout, presumably inspired by Africa, was a floor-length gown that flared at the bottom in a dark brown and white print reminiscent of a cheetah.
Bold stripes in an array of colours - orange and navy, or turquoise and orange - decorated skirts and jackets in what might have been a nod to jaunty American style, described by Simons as "bold, sporty, dynamic and graphic."
Under Simons, Dior has made efforts to woo the who's-who of Hollywood as LVMH expands in the United States, part of a move to ride the rebound in its economy as growth in China slows.
LVMH's brand portfolio includes fashion names Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, as well as spirits maker Moet Hennessy and jeweller Bulgari.
"Haute couture has gained a younger clientele," Christian Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano told Reuters after the show, where US film star Jennifer Lawrence sat in the front row. "The Americans have come back strong."
The US luxury market, estimated at 59 billion euros, is seen as the least-penetrated compared with the size of its economy, says consultancy Bain. Europe is the biggest market at 74.2 billion euros, with China-Hong Kong at 22 billion euros.
Luxury brands worry about a slowdown in spending by Chinese consumers. In France, growth in spending by Chinese tourists nearly halved between October 2012 and February 2013 to 38 per cent, according to Global Blue, a tax refund company.
Paris Fashion Week follows on the heels of collections in London and Milan, where designers vie for the attention of the media and buyers who spot the latest trends and must-have items.
On Sunday, Italian designer Donatella Versace kicked off the week with an Atelier Versace show that featured British supermodel Naomi Campbell on the catwalk.
"I see a woman who wants to reveal but she wants also to conceal," said Versace about the theatrical, body-hugging looks that featured asymmetrical detailing and visible lingerie.

29 year-old outfielder Xavier Nady .278/.330/.476 as the Pirates' right fielder, knocking 20 home runs. However, he's a Scott Boras client and definitely doesn't fit into the team's long-term plans. He's arbitration-eligible, but his salary will still be reasonable after that. If Neal Huntington can't find a trade partner for Nady, he may even non-tender him.
It probably won't come to that, as Nady is a solid .800 OPS guy at a reasonable price. There's bound to be trade interest. Nady can handle first base or the outfield corners. If he was left-handed, he'd be a good target for the Rays.
Kovacevic also notes that Jose Castillo is "a virtual lock to be non-tendered." So add him to the second base market, if you think he's capable.

Last time, I laid out the method by which I would grade the conference tournament predictions.
The tournaments are over so it's time to present the results…and it's not pretty for my predictions.
TeamRankings: -317.53
KenPom: -317.87
Predict The Madness (me): -321.26
Yeah, the latter half of the conference tournaments did not go so well for my system. It's not the biggest sample, but around 300 games gives us some indication. Perhaps next year I'll grade all regular season predictions.
And now, it's time for the real tournament. Enjoy the madness.

Everyday tasks¶
This section discusses the every day tasks associated with administering grants with CiviGrant.
CiviGrant Dashboard¶
Go to Other > Grants > Dashboard to access the CiviGrant Dashboard. Here you will see a summary of the grants registered in your CiviCRM database and a table of recent grant recipients.
Viewing grants¶
There are a couple of ways to view grants:
- The Grants dashboard gives a summary of the status of all grants in your CiviCRM, grouped by grant type. It also gives an overview of recent grants.
- An individual contact's grants can be viewed from the Grants tab on their record.
Adding and editing grant recipients¶
After Wookie Hole Community Action selected its grant recipients for the Cave Festival, their grant administrator looked up the contact record of each successful applicant and entered a new grant record for each one.
To add or edit grant recipients:
- Go to Other > Grants > New Grant.
- Either select an already existing contact or create a new contact to whom the grant will be given.
- Complete the details of the grant. Fill in as many details as possible, including any custom data that has been set up, but you can also edit and update the grant details at a later stage.
- Click Save.
Grants can be edited and updated at any time using the edit link which appears in the grant record.
Recording Reports¶
When reports are received from grant recipients, you can edit the grant information (either from the CiviGrant dashboard or the contact's record). Check the Grant Report Received? box in the form and add any appropriate notes.

🇺🇦 We are from Ukraine! WE WANT TO STOP THE WAR! 🇺🇦
The initial steps for this project were organizing the products and categories, and reconstructing the product and product listing pages, including the deep changes in their elements' structure and visual appearance.
The original goal was successfully reached by realizing the new design (according the client's mock-ups) and structure of the main store's pages: product and product listing ones. Our team managed to go behind the original design and create the brand new variant which has set the UI and UX of the web store in general onto the principally new level.
The store is dealing with the firearms selling and all the accompanying stuff and ammunition.

St. Jude Patient Story: Chandler
In June 2015, Chandler was found to suffer from a rare brain tumor called medulloblastoma. He underwent two brain surgeries at a local hospital, during which doctors were able to remove part of the tumor. Chandler's family then turned to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for his continuing care.
At St. Jude, Chandler's treatment will include 30 rounds of radiation therapy and seven rounds of chemotherapy. Families never received a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. "St. Jude means everything to us," said Chandler's mom, Cindy. "I don't think we could be in a better place. We're thankful to be here. We have complete faith and trust in Chandler's doctor and nurses." Chandler is a juniorin high school. He likes to play guitar and video games.

Aging tends to cause facial skin to sag and lose volume, not to mention reveal wrinkles and fine lines we would rather not have. Darrell L. Henderson, MD corrects these issues through facial plastic surgery on patients in Lafayette, LA, who want a younger, more vibrant appearance.
What is Facial Surgery?
The procedures correct a range of cosmetic concerns, such as sun damage, loose skin, wrinkles, fine lines, creases and folds. These procedures may be recommended after an injury, such as bone fractures and tissue damage.
Facial Surgery Procedures
- Eyelid Surgery
- Brow Lift
- Facelift
- Neck Lift
- Facial Implants
- Fat Injections
- Lip Enhancement
- Ear Surgery
- Rhinoplasty
Benefits of Facial Surgery
- Erase wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, forehead, and chin
- Tighten saggy skin around your eyes, mouth, and neck
- Redefine your jaw line
- Improve facial symmetry
- Reclaim looks damaged by injuries or cancer
Facial Surgery Procedure
Your plastic surgeon develops an individualized surgical plan to address the concerns you have about your appearance. Each plan is customized to your specific needs and physiology. The surgical plan may include the following:
- Removal and reshaping of bone
- Removal of excess skin and fat
- Tightening of skin and underlying muscles
- Liposuction to remove pockets of fat and improve contours
Preparing for Facial Surgery
The results of your facial surgery are permanent, although your skin should be protected from sunlight to extend the results. In some cases, your facial surgery may be combined with injectable treatments. These treatments are not permanent, and results last from six months to one year or longer.
Facial Surgery Recovery
Bandages are applied after your surgery so you may not see improvements until after the bandages are removed. Even then, you are likely to have initial swelling and bruising. Recovery from facial surgery can take a few weeks or months, but you will see a significant difference once you completely heal.*
*Take note individual results may vary
What Does Facial Surgery Cost?
We accept most insurance plans and we offer financing options through CareCredit®. The total cost depends on the procedure. After your consultation appointment, we give you a total cost that includes anesthesia, pre- and post-operative care, and other associated costs. To learn more, call our office today.
Is Facial Surgery Right for Me?
A facelift cannot stop the aging process and it is important to maintain a realistic expectation about the results.
- Ideal candidates are in good overall health
- Show some signs of facial aging, but still have some skin elasticity
- Want to remove loose skin around the face or neck
What to Expect During your Consultation
We believe exceptional patient care is a right, not a privilege. Several areas will be covered during your consultation, including:
- Your medical history
- Discussion of your concerns and goals
- Explanation of procedure and expected results
- Customized treatment plan(s)
- Applicable fees and financing information
Darrell L. Henderson, MD offers cosmetic treatments using the latest medical advances to patients in entire Acadiana region, including New Iberia, Abbeville, Lake Charles, Alexandria, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Monroe. For your private consultation, contact our office today.

Things to Know About College Loans
Before, most college loans are offered by the federal government. Now, aside from the federal government, schools have already established linkages with private corporations to offer college loans. The bureaucracy associated with working with the government translated into a stronger preference of schools for private corporations in terms of providing college loans for their students.
In most schools, one personnel is usually designated as a financial officer but actually serves as a representative of the lending company. This is to make sure that the process for lending agreed both by the lending company and the school is strictly followed. Guidelines for college loans from federal government may also disqualify students enrolling in private colleges and universities.
In availing of a financial aid, always strive for the best deal. You can always consult a financial aid counselor regarding your options and plans. In graduate school, student loans may be the more viable option since the scholarships offered are fewer and may also cover just a small percentage of the entire cost that enrolling in graduate school will entail.
Settling for college loans rate are highly advisable. Fluctuations of the loan rate may also be a good indication or a negative warning. Consider restructuring the loan upon the increase of the loan rates.
Doing a side by side comparison would be possible if you select a fixed starting date and a fixed student loan rate. Similar to comparing apples with apples, comparing one term to its equivalent should be guaranteed in looking for a student loan. Before deciding, learning more about the different student loan companies is also highly recommended.
In availing of college loans, just borrow the exact amount that you need, no more and no less. What was initially a small student loan can end up as a huge debt because of the compounded interest.
Taking advantage of a student loan to earn extra money to invest in any venture like the stock market is certainly a bad idea. Aside from it doesn't guarantee an easy way to wealth, it is also guilty for violation of the student loan agreement.

An announcement from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) that it will make its raw clinical data available to researchers represents a significant change in the business of clinical sciences. The field has suffered considerable bad press in recent years arising from legal cases which saw several of the major drug companies receive fines of hundreds of millions of dollars. Not least among the transgressors was GSK itself. The company reached a $3 billion settlement with US authorities in July 2012 over allegations of fraud, including GSK's publishing of "false and misleading accounts" of trial data and the suppression of safety concerns related to Paxil (paroxetine), Wellbutrin (bupropion) and Avandia (rosiglitazone). The move by GSK aims to restore a battered public image of an industry long suspected of putting corporate profits before patient safety and welfare.
Availability of raw data from clinical trials may herald fundamental change in transparency

Day In the Life of a Business – Commercial & personal branding photography – Golborne Events
Golborne Events is a company that works on luxury, high-end events in iconic London venues. They plan and organise weddings, corporate events and private parties.
Natalia understands the importance of imagery to capture their amazing work. She knows how important it is to have photos that showcase the business and the team behind the work. Having images to share on social media is a key part of building a business. People like to see behind the scenes and to know a little about who they are working with.
With this in mind, Natalia booked me for a Day In The Life shoot. These shoots are a brilliant way to capture what you do and how you work, as well as updating your personal branding photography. It's a perfect way to show how your business is unique and to recognise the team behind business success.
It was a real pleasure to spend the day with Natalia and her talented (and lovely) team to take new photos for the website and social media. There was lots of tea, some pastries, plenty of chat and laughs. A few outfit changes and may one or two nerves about being photographed!
A Day In The Life shoot not only gives you photos of the behind the scenes business but also gives the opportunity for me to capture some beautiful lifestyle photos of products and place.

Pigeon Forge in Sevier County, Tennessee — The American South (East South Central)
Fort Wear
Some of the first settlers from western North Carolina had received land grants from their home state before Tennessee was formed. When Wear settled here, the U.S. Government and the Cherokee people considered this area to be Indian hunting grounds. However, there were pioneers who believed that the Native Americans had relinquished their right of ownership by aligning themselves with Great Britain in the war. This conflict led to fighting between the whites and the Native Americans.
North Carolina, not yet a state, unsuccessfully attempted to cede
Fort Wear was in the U.S. Territory South of the River Ohio from 1790 to 1796, until Tennessee was finally admitted to the Union on June 1, 1796. The fort was a haven for soldiers and settlers as North Carolina, the United States Government and the State of Franklin made treaties with the Indians, one superseding the other.
Samuel Wear was a patriot who fought for the American Colonies before the Revolution. During the American Revolution, he stood with Col. John Sevier at the Battle of Kings Mountain in1780. He defended settlers during the Indian Campaigns and was commissioned a colonel prior to fighting in the War of 1812. He served in the Sevier County and East Tennessee Militias.
Col. Wear was a leader in the formation of county, territorial, State of Franklin and Tennessee governments. He served as representative to the territorial legislature and was Sevier County Court Clerk for many years. He helped draft the Tennessee State Constitution in Knoxville and was a signer of the document in 1796.
Samuel Cole Williams, Associate Justice of the Tennessee
Richard L. Kelton, a Wear descendent, stands by the Colonel's monument, dedicated in 1925, located nearby. Col. Samuel Wear (1753-1817) brought his family here from Augusta County, Virginia. His son Robert Wear, born November 4, 1781, was likely the first white child born in this area. Col. Wear's brother John, a soldier, marched to Wear's Fort in early 1782. (Above:) Three of Col. Samuel Wear's grandsons, from left to right: Jefferson, John and Lavater Wear.

Become an expert myofascial practitioner
This exciting and unique course will look at the major techniques and approaches for working effectively with fascia including indirect myofascial release (MFR), direct structural integration approaches, cranial work and visceral manipulation. You will learn how to effectively incorporate this work into your existing techniques to enhance your results and reduce client pain quickly and easily.
- Further application of effective MFR techniques including cross-hand stretches, dural tube release, transverse fascial plane releases, arm and leg pulls psoas releases and scar tissue work.
- How you can effectively integrate these techniques into existing clinical remedial work to get quicker results.
- Skills that will enhance your existing clinical work and allow you to work more effectively with common pain conditions, emotional trauma and systemic conditions that do not respond to traditional massage approaches.
Structural Integration is a unique way of working with the body, usually over a series of 10-12 sessions, to open and release patterns of strain that develop in the body's myofascial web. Originally derived from Rolfing, the work has been developed and popularized by several leading international bodyworkers, adding new insights on how to realign and balance the structures of the body.
- A dynamic form of bodywork that involves deep tissue work with active movement.
- Body reading: recognizing and analyzing patterns of pain and strain on the body, including habitual compensation configurations.
- The difference between direct and indirect myofascial work and how to combine both within your practice.
- The importance of 'listening touch', palpatory sensitivity and body mechanics.
- New insights into the anatomy of the myofascial system.
- Bodywork techniques and "tools" you can take away and integrate immediately into your existing practice.
If you are new to this work, we suggest completing the Foundation in Advanced Clinical Techniques first as it contains a strong myofascial component and will give you the essential fascial techniques to incorporate this work into your practice immediately.
If you would like some help choosing what is best for you, just give us a call.
Course Date:
Hands on classroom days: Tuesday 18th June – Thursday 20th June and Monday 24th June- Thursday 27th June

The Kiaran McLaughlin-trained SOLDAT (War Front) was second choice behind To Honor and Serve (Bernardini) for much of the wagering for Saturday's $400,000 Fountain of Youth S. (G2) at Gulfstream Park, but a late surge of support resulted in the dark bay closing as the 7-5 favorite in a field of eight three-year-olds. The pari-mutuel wave proved entirely justified as Soldat took command from the start, set a moderate pace, and held off challenges from To Honor and Serve and Gourmet Dinner to register a two-length win in the nine-furlong prep for the April 3 Florida Derby (G1).
Owned in partnership by Harvey Clarke, Craig Robertson III, Paul Braverman and Namcook Stable, Soldat broke from post 1 and opened up a length through an opening quarter in :24 1/5. El Grayling (El Prado [Ire]) chased in second while To Honor and Serve, making his first start since winning the Remsen S. (G2) in November, endured a three-wide trip entering the clubhouse turn. Down the backside, El Grayling applied pressure to Soldat, cutting the margin to a head through a half in :47 4/5. That longshot soon ran out of steam and was ultimately eased, and the baton was passed to To Honor and Serve.
The match most fans were waiting for occurred around the far turn as the 6-5 To Honor and Serve moved up to within a head of the leader after six furlongs in 1:12 2/5. El Grayling continued his retreat behind them while 7-2 third choice Gourmet Dinner (Trippi) advanced from fourth and the rest of the field languished far behind. The duel between the two favorites proved short lived, however, as Soldat began to step away from a short To Honor and Serve and opened up three lengths with a furlong to go. Gourmet Dinner easily moved past To Honor and Serve to grab second but could not close the needed ground. Under Alan Garcia, Soldat finished two lengths clear in a time of 1:50 1/5 over the fast track.
"I just went to the lead and tried to slow it down as much as possible," Garcia said. "My house just kept on going today. I don't think anyone was going to get by us today the way he ran. He was really good today."
Soldat returned $4.80, $3 and $2.20 while topping the $13.80 exacta and $37.60 trifecta. Gourmet Dinner was 4 3/4 lengths clear of To Honor and Serve, who had 2 1/2 lengths on Bowman's Causeway (Giant's Causeway). The 1-2-7-5 trifecta returned $178.60. The order of finish was rounded out by Shackleford (Forestry), Racing Aptitude (Aptitude), Casper's Touch (Touch Gold) and El Grayling.
"It's on to the Florida Derby now," McLaughlin said. The timing of the program here is perfect for us -- five weeks from now to the Florida Derby and another five weeks to the Kentucky Derby (G1)."
Despite To Honor and Serve's loss by 6 3/4 lengths, jockey John Velazquez was encouraged by the performance.
"I thought he ran very well," he said. "He settled really well going down the backside. He ranged up to the leader on the far turn and finished well, just didn't have the closing kick he usually does," Velazquez said. "I think, off the layoff, that is to be expected. Overall, though, I thought he ran terrific."
Soldat made his debut at Belmont on June 10, in a five-furlong dash in the mud, and ultimately lost his duel with Bail Out the Cat (Tale of the Cat) by 2 1/4 lengths. Soldat was 10 1/2 lengths clear of next-out winner Pluck (More Than Ready). Next time out on a good track, Soldat was no match for the highly-regarded Wine Police (Speightstown) in a 5 1/2-furlong maiden at Saratoga on July 24, but was again 5 3/4 lengths clear of third. Wine Police boosted the form when third in the Hopeful S. (G1) at the Spa.
Switched to the turf for the September 3 With Anticipation S. (G3), Soldat broke his maiden in convincing fashion by three lengths. It remained an open question whether the surface, or the stretch-out to two turns, was responsible for his improvement. Soldat stayed on the grass and concluded his two-year-old campaign with two strong efforts in defeat. He hit the gate en route to finishing second in the October 3 Pilgrim S. (G3) to Air Support (Smart Strike), whom he beat in their other meetings, and was an honorable runner-up by a length to the impressive Pluck in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G2).
Soldat opened up his three-year-old campaign in a January 21 first-level allowance at Gulfstream over nine furlongs. Breaking on top in the sloppy conditions, Soldat repelled a mid-race challenge around the far turn and drew off to an impressive 10 3/4-length triumph. With this second straight score at 1 1/8 miles, Soldat pushed his career mark to 7-3-4-0, $554,300.
Bred by Brookfield Stud in Kentucky, Soldat brought $180,000 as a Keeneland September yearling. He is the first registered foal from the unraced Le Relais (Coronado's Quest), who has since produced an unnamed two-year-old filly by Badge of Silver and a yearling colt by Tiz Wonderful. Le Relais is herself a half-sister to Canadian Grade 3 winner Mulrainy (Star de Naskra), and she hails from the family of Grade 2 victor Pine Dance (Pine Bluff) and seven-time stakes queen and Grade 2-placed The Happy Hopper (El Prado [Ire]).

Picnics and Religion
When Natalie was a baby and toddler I used to pop her in the stroller and take her for walks down to the waterfront. We would spend hours outside on beautiful fall days. I miss that like crazy. It actually makes me a little sad that those days with her are gone. Yesterday the weather was amazing. It felt like the perfect fall day. I took Vanessa on her first little picnic down to the water. I fed her her bottle while I ate a deli sandwich with one hand. We didn't stay too long because she was starting but it was so nice. I wished so much Natalie could have been with us. I really think it sucks how many days a week school is and how many hours long it is too. If I thought it were the best thing for her and I was qualified enough I would highly consider homeschooling.
One thing she asked to learn about out of the blue tonight was religion. I said goodnight to her and left the room and a few minutes later she asked for water. Then she randomly said, "I want to go to church!" So I agreed and asked what made her want to go to church. She asked me exactly what church was. I told her it's where you go to learn about God and the Bible. She agreed and asked lots of questions. I tried my best explaining the logistics of religion and how there are different versions of the same religion and how most religions believe in one God but aren't the same, like Muslims and Christian's. She asked if there are only two religions (Muslims and Christians). She asked how you become a certain religion and if you have to go to church every week or if you can skip it and if you have to go to church to be religious. I told her no, it only matters what you believe in your heart and you don't have to go to church a set amount of times. She asked if once you decide on a religion if you can change your mind and become another religion instead. She also asked specifically what Christian's believe and I tried my best to explain but I just don't know the hard specifics. She also asked if you have to pay to go to church or if it's free. I. Love. This. Girl. I told her we can go to church together and learn more and she can learn about all the religions and choose one if she would like. It makes me really happy that she's taken an interest in this. I would love for her to learn about different beliefs and cultures.
Tomorrow is her first soccer game. I'm excited but it's pretty lax and informal. She had practice today and was pretty miserable at it. She said it was boring. She doesn't like the hard/non fun part of sports, she just wants to play the game/perform. I only signed her up for the fall season so if she doesn't like it when November is over then she can just stick to playing it recreationally.

The way Microsoft Connect works in terms of how a bug goes from being submitted to someone working on it (or closing it without working on it), is basically flawed.
From a customer's point of view, we post an "issue" that we've encountered and leave it up to Microsoft to fix the issue. The problem is, most of the time, this isn't what happens. For the most part, the issue has no merit unto itself. It's a popularity game with Connect. You have to campaign for people to vote for your issue if you think it should be fixed.
I'm not talking about suggestions here, I'm talking about bugs. Suggestions are what they are. Suggestions suffer the same problem as bugs: unless the suggestion you report is already on the roadmap, it has to get enough upvotes for it to get any attention.
This is inherently flawed because popularity is not directly related to importance, priority, or impact. If I do manage to campaign successfully for a particular bug, that doesn't make it an more important than another.
I only use Connect to post issues. I don't browse around looking at other people's issues. I feel that the majority of people registered on Connect work with it in that way. And therein lies the problem. No one looks at bugs, so why would they arbitrarily upvote them? The basic flaw in this usability means that many people have simply given up on Connect—which leaves that much less potential people to upvote defects.
It's clear that if I feel a bug is worth fixing I have to campaign for people to upvote it. So, I'm going to periodically pick a bug (maybe one of mine) and blog about it.
The first has to do with the way right-click menus work in Visual Studio 2010. The issue was first raised in CTP; but, effectively if you bring up a right-click menu when your mouse is around the vertical centre of the screen, the menu either pops-up or pops-down from the current mouse position–with not enough space to display all menu items. This results in a menu that takes up little more than half the screen that you have to scroll. It's fairly easy to duplicate, just open a C# file and right click near the vertical centre of the code window and you'll likely see a scrollbar. It's a departure from the way VS 2008 worked, and it's annoying all on it's own. Now, there's a reason for it; but, that doesn't matter. Having a menu that uses little more than half the potential real estate and scrolls is poor usability.
There may be more that one issue logged for this, but I'm picking this particular issue logged by Josip Medved: http://bit.ly/aeZCJh

THURSDAY 10TH JANUARY - Reading about films
Today I'm going to purchase a new book which offers an introduction to documentary film. Cunningly entitled 'Documentary Film: A Very Short Introduction', the text provides a concise history of how the documentary medium has changed over the years, including a section on its use in anthropology. It discusses several films studied by anthropology students, perhaps most famously Nanook of the North (you can view an extract online here) and also looks at the different forms in which documentary has been created from artistically, to as propaganda and advocacy. Such issues of representation - whether in film or in text - are a vitally important part of anthropological theory, so for those looking for an introduction to the subject this looks ideal - the book is priced at £6.99, available from the Oxford University Press.
FRIDAY 11TH JANUARY - The Pet Ship Boys?
Tonight I'm going along to the Barbican in East London for a special screening of Battleship Potemkin, the famous Russian propaganda film from 1925. The film is studied on many visual anthropology courses as an example of the use of film for political ends in society. Tonight it will be accompanied by a live soundtrack courtesy of the Pet Shop Boys - you can listen to some clips on the Barbican website - so it's also an interesting example of how political texts can change meaning and become part of art and popular culture. If you can't make it to the Barbican (the show starts at 21.00 and tickets are priced at £20 upwards) then you can also watch the film online here, though without the Pet Shop Boys!
SATURDAY 12TH JANUARY - Films from the web
Today I'll be browsing the 4DOCS website to have a look at the new films that were entered into a recent competition they held, around the theme of 'Outside Story'. Unsurprisingly, given that anthropologists often spend their time looking at the 'outside story', there were a few entries that classified themselves as ethnographic films, including this one containing the reflections of a Kiowa Indian on his ethnic identity: 'Where the Buffalo Roam'. To view more entries, you can sort the film catalogue by theme, and choose 'ethnography'. Happy viewing!
SUNDAY 13TH JANUARY - From Russia with love
Today I'm heading down to the Russian Winter Festival in Trafalgar Square, to sample some of the finest music, performance, food and drink the country has to offer. Highlights of the day, which runs from 12.00 until 19.30, include military marching bands, traditional folk music and Russian - 'blinis' and 'pirozhkis' - pies and pancakes respectively... The event in Trafalgar Square is just one of several events celebrating the culture of Russia - for example there's also a dance show on in Hammersmith on Saturday night. To find out more and view the complete listings, have a look at the official website here.
MONDAY 14TH JANUARY - New anthropology websites!
Come Monday I want to have a look at the recently relaunched 'Visual Anthropology Net' website, which has just been revamped to make it more user-friendly. The site includes reviews of films and books on all things visual and anthropological, as well as news of interesting screenings, festivals and publications. It is also linked to an organisation called Ethnodoc, which has just begun to put ethnographic films on its website for members to watch - subscription is FREE!
TUESDAY 15TH JANUARY - Ethiopian Encounters
On Tuesday I'm off to have a look at a new exhibition at The Fitzwiliam Musuem in Cambridge, called Ethiopian Encounters. It includes a series of watercolour paintings made by the British explorer William Cornwallis Harris of the various people he encountered on a mission to Ethiopia in the 1840s. It should be interesting not only because they are some of the earliest pictures of this social group in existence, but also to look at the way people were represented in imagery back then, as compared to now. The exhibition is open from Tuesday until Sunday until 17.00 and entrance is FREE. Look out also for a series of related talks, workshops and events.
WEDNESDAY 16TH JANUARY - What is change?
This afternoon I'm going to a talk in the Institute for Social Change at Manchester University, which is part of the Social Sciences Faculty and linked to Harvard in the USA. Professor Mary Waters from Harvard will be giving a talk about social change and the challenges faced by all levels of society in being part of, and managing 'change'. Social change is a topic that has been debated by anthropologists for many years, because it is often leads to overly neat theories about the structure of societies completely unraveling!
The Institute for Social Change is mainly concerned with how Governments can deal with change, rather than from a bottom-up point of view, but nonetheless the talk should definitely be worth hearing. It takes place in Room G.030 in the Arthur Lewis building at 16.00 - and it's probably worth phoning ahead to check there will be space.

Import Common Vendors
Importing a common list of vendors
Since most users of OrderTrac will be using the same set of vendors, it is possible to import a list we have already created as opposed to adding them all yourselves. This is NOT a complete list of all possible vendors so there may be some vendors missing, but this will at least save you time by importing a majority of the vendors you may use.
To import vendors:
- Go to the vendors tab, and click the 'Import common vendors' link on the top right of the screen.
- A preview screen will display all vendors to be imported. Click the 'Select All' link to select all, or just check the check boxes beside the vendors you wish to import.
- Click 'Start Import'. When the import is complete, each vendor in the list will turn green if the import was successful, or will turn red and will display an error message if the import failed.
- That is all! Close the import screen and you will not see all the vendors on the vendors tab.

Message from Rev. Fr. Dr. Johnson C. John
Dearly Beloved in Lord Jesus Christ,
I am so glad to serve as the Vicar in the Jubilee year 2014-2015 year among the people of God at Greater Washington St Thomas Orthodox Church. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to serve. Electronic Communication in the post modern era becomes fastest beyond the geographical distances, which is one of the major strategies to inculcate and conscientize the Word of God.
Communication is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. When it comes to maintaining peace, whether between nations or in our personal relationships, effective communication is absolutely necessary. When it comes to feeling "at peace" in our understanding, the more information we are given, the more at peace we tend to feel. When we experience difficult circumstances, it is often the comforting words of others that help deliver peace within hardship. If we are distressed in our thinking, it is often a long talk with a trusted friend that calms our spirits.
On the flip side, a lack of effective communication will frequently lead to serious conflict. Also, when we don't feel like we have enough information, we often lack peace when trying to make a decision. In difficult circumstances, our fears heighten as we go without an encouraging word from others. Finally, when we experience distress and lack an understanding ear to which we may speak, we often deeply feel the absence of peace in our hearts as we experience feelings of loneliness. As we explore God's suppliers of peace in our lives, Our God has so graciously made communication with us a top priority in His relationship with us, and He desires us to experience peace as a result.
As we seek to embrace peace in the middle of a fallen world, we are able to rest in the perfect & eternal Word of God. I am tempted to quote "Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures. Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you. If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life." (Psalm 119:89-93)
Communication that brings peace is true, trustworthy, and unchanging. In the scripture above, we are reminded that God's word is established firmly and it endures as truth. We hear it is eternal, He is faithful, and His law endures. The author of Psalm 119 clearly states that the word of God has preserved him. As believers, we can seek peace & preservation in God's word as well. In John 16:33 we read, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Jesus spoke these words after explaining to his disciples of the things that were ahead. Throughout God's word, believers are given explanations of what to expect, God's promises, and warnings. God has breathed truth into his word that communicates the information He desires us to have and He intends for it to bring us peace.
The ability to understand or comprehend the world around us is a key component to our peace of mind. Our most effective and reliable source of information is found in God's clear and written word. He has spoken, and his word is everlasting and trustworthy. As we seek to grow in peace, studying and knowing God's word will supply deeper peace in our lives. Philippians 4:6-7 might be one you've memorized: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
May God bless you richly and abundantly, showering His choicest blessings in your life.
In Christian love,
Fr. Dr. Johnson C. John Chirathalckal B.Sc., G. S. T., B.D., MSW, M. Phil., Ph. D.

A GLORIOUS year for Earl Shilton's Nicky Shaw got even better this week as she played a starring role in England's triumph in the ICC World Twenty20.
Shaw took two wickets as England's women added the T20 World Cup to their 50-over crown when they beat New Zealand by six wickets in the final at Lord's on Sunday.
It took her tally to seven wickets in five games, after she struck with the ball in the victories against India in the group stage and Australia in the semi-final. Shaw also made an unbeaten 11 with the bat in the victory against Pakistan.
England bowler Katherine Brunt, sporting a black eye after a ball from team mate Jenny Gunn struck her in practice, proved the match winner in the final, finishing with figures of 3-6 as New Zealand were bowled out for 85. Claire Taylor then steered England home rattling off 39 from 32 balls, with the hosts coasting to victory with three overs to spare.
Things started well for Shaw in the opening game against India, when she took 2-28 as India were restricted to 112-8. England then knocked off the runs without losing a wicket.
Victories against Sri Lanka and Pakistan followed before Shaw struck again in the semi-final against Australia, taking the key wicket of Karen Rolton for 38 as she looked to build a big score. Australia finished on 163-5 and England reached the total with just three balls to spare to win by eight wickets.
Shaw then delivered figures of 2-17 in the final before the champagne corks popped.
"It was quite difficult because there were quite a lot of good teams to play against, but we worked hard and got our rewards," Shaw told The Hinckley Times.
"I think I had a fairly decent tournament - most of us did. Everyone contributed at different times which is one of the keys to our success.
"I just tried to carry on from the start the opening bowlers gave us [in the final]. They put it in our ball park and we made sure the Kiwis didn't get a sniff. But it was still a challenging total to chase, especially in front of 12,000 people!"
Justin Robins, secretary of Shaw's former club Earl Shilton Town, said: "Everyone is thrilled to bits for Nicky.
"She did very well in the final and in the games leading up to it. A few of the club went down to watch her and they were really pleased for her.
"It just shows how good fielding and good batting is important - doing the simple things well. I wish our first team would do the same!"
An unchanged England side was announced for the Ashes series against Australia, and Shaw met up with her team-mates in Derby yesterday ahead of today's Twenty20 international.
The sides then face each other in five one-day internationals before the series concludes with a one-off test match.
Shaw said: "It's going to be a hectic three weeks and it will be a real challenge. Australia will be hurting from their semi-final defeat and only coming fourth in the World Cup, so they have something to prove.
"They will come hard at us, but it wouldn't be an Australian side if they didn't."

Sea Breeze Cove
A vacation rental in Rockport, Texas
Seabreeze Cove is a new, waterfront home with dock. Kitchen, living room and porch make you feel as if you are living on a boat without the waves. Garage and plenty of front parking for a boat. Kayaks and stand up paddle board available for your use. Great place to kayak and fish. Check out the islands/rookeries just a short distance by kayak from your own dock, teaming with bird life. If you like being on the water and enjoy nature, this is a good fit for you.
Rooms with views
dock with fish
I looked for 5 years in Rockport before deciding on this location to build a vacation home. To me, this is the perfect location in Rockport. If you love nature and want a relaxing experience with all the amenities and comforts of home, this is it. The most amazing sunsets!
Being right on the bay gives you private access to fishing from the dock. We catch reds, drums, trout and also crab. The home faces south so you get the southern breeze on the porch and sunrise and sunset without the sun in your eyes. Sea Breeze Cove is quiet and peaceful but yet 5 minutes from downtown Rockport. Staying in a home gives you the privacy a condo does not. Bringing your bay boat? Plenty of off street parking.

Sales for Trump books jump after election
NEW YORK (AP) -- The impending presidency of Donald Trump is already helping his books sell.
Trump's breakthrough best-seller from the 1980s, "The Art of the Deal," and his campaign work "Great Again" were on Amazon.com's "Movers & Shakers" list Wednesday of books making the biggest jumps on the best-seller list. "The Art of the Deal" soared from No. 1,107 to No. 24 and "Great Again" from 5,340 to 172.
J.D. Vance's "Hillbilly Elegy" also was attracting strong interest after Trump's upset victory Tuesday over Hillary Rodham Clinton. Vance's memoir about his white working-class family in rural Ohio, a key part of Trump's winning coalition, was No. 2 as of midday Wednesday.

COVID-19 patients may have higher risk of kidney damage: Study
Researchers found that many hospitalised patients with COVID-19 may face an increased risk for kidney damage or acute kidney injury (AKI), a dreaded complication for those suffering from infection
Researchers have found that many hospitalised patients with COVID-19 may face an increased risk for kidney damage or acute kidney injury (AKI), a dreaded complication for those suffering from infection.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, revealed that COVID-19 patients experience elevated levels of soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR), an immune-derived pathogenic protein that is strongly predictive of kidney injury.
"SuPAR is a circulating factor we've seen contribute to kidney injury in thousands of patients," said study author Jochen Reiser from the University of Michigan in the US.
"RNA viruses such as HIV and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) elicit a suPAR response of the innate immune system, leading to a rise in blood suPAR levels," Reiser added.
"If there is a hyperinflammatory suPAR response, kidney cells may be damaged," he explained.
Thee study results show that more than a third patients with COVID-19 end up in need of dialysis and are also at much higher risk of death.
The research team tested suPAR levels of 352 study participants when they were admitted to the hospital for Covid-19 infection.
A quarter of the participants developed acute kidney injury while hospitalized, and their median suPAR levels were more than 60 percent higher than those of the rest of the participants.
The risk of needing dialysis was increased 20-fold in patients with the highest suPAR levels.
Overall, median suPAR levels for these study participants hospitalised with severe COVID-19 were almost three times higher than levels of healthy people.
"Certainly, a suPAR level at time of hospitalization of COVID-19 patients will provide an important risk stratification tool with respect to patient outcomes such as intubation or kidney failure," the researchers said.
"This will help hospitals by providing proper surveillance of patients at higher risk of a severe COVID-19 course," they noted.

Have you tried every trick in the book to keep your kitchen cupboards organized, but still lack sufficient storage space? If so, it might be time for you to build a kitchen pantry. The good news is that you don't need to have a huge amount of blank space in your kitchen to build a usable pantry … or larder, as it is sometimes called. In fact, a small corner, some wall space or even a hall closet will do.
Different Types of Kitchen Pantries
Here is a look at the four main types of pantries used in most kitchens, along with a fifth alternative that isn't often seen here in North America:
Walk-in Pantries
This is typically the most desirable pantry option. Much like a walk-in closet, a walk-in pantry is a room within the room. This style of pantry offers the most space for the storage of food and other kitchen essentials. Building a walk-in pantry requires a bit of square footage, but not as much as some people may think.
Reach-in Pantries
Smaller than a walk-in, this style of pantry can often be created between wall studs or within a closet. This is the most commonly found pantry style in Canadian homes. Many homeowners consider the allotted space to be insufficient.
Freestanding Pantry Cabinets
This is essentially a freestanding cupboard. These pantries do not typically require the services of a builder, unless you want something custom made.
Pull Out Pantries
A pullout pantry is integrated into your kitchen cabinetry. This is an ideal solution if you d not have any additional wall space. You will need to contact a custom cabinet builder if you wish to have this style of pantry installed.
Butler's Pantry
This type of pantry is used to store serving items, dishware and silverware, rather than food. The butler's pantry is not typically found outside of luxury homes here in North America.
Space-Saving Pantry Add-Ons
If you plan to build a walk-in or reach-in pantry there are several different space-saving accessories that you can include. These additions will not only allow you to maximize your storage space, but they also give you the option of storing different types of items.
Lazy Susan
Adding a lazy susan, whether built-in or placed in, will make it much easier to reach any cans or other items stored at the back of your shelves.
This is another way to provide 360 degree accessibility to your pantry.
Wine Rack
Whether your future pantry will be large or small, you can add wine rack inserts to keep your favourite bottle nearby.
Do you need a place to store small appliances? If you have the space, adding a small countertop may prove to be extremely useful.
DIY or Call a Pro
While some homeowners are lucky enough to be extremely handy when it comes to small building projects, many of us will require the services of a professional. You might need to contact a custom cabinet builder, handyman or even a contractor –depending upon the size of your job.

Demi Moore opened up about her marriage to Ashton Kutcher in a revealing new interview with The New York Times and her new memoir Inside Out.
Moore, who is 15 years older than Kutcher, married the then That '70s Show actor in 2005. They quickly became a favourite Hollywood power couple, but in 2011, the pair separated. Their marriage officially ended in 2013, after rumours of infidelity on Kutcher's part.
In Inside Out, Moore revealed that dating Kutcher gave her an opportunity to "go back in time and experience what it was like to be young." However, things took a dark turn, Moore told The New York Times, when she became pregnant and lost the child six months into her pregnancy. The miscarriage reportedly led to Moore abusing alcohol and Vicodin. She struggled with substance abuse before learning that Kutcher allegedly cheated on her.
Though Moore's memoir details her marriage to Kutcher, she told The New York Times that there are no villains.
"I'm definitely not interested in blaming anyone [in the book]," Moore said. "It's a waste of energy."
In 2018, Kutcher admitted on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast that he had to sort through some issues from previous relationships.
"I wrote down every single relationship that I had where I felt like there was some grudge or anything, and then I wrote letters to every single person and sent the letters on day seven," the actor shared. "I typed them all out and sent them. It was almost like an AA exercise, where I was like, 'I probably have done some damage,' so I just cleared [my] palate."
Kutcher and Moore have since moved on from their marriage. Kutcher went on to wed his That '70s Show co-star Mila Kunis in 2015, and the couple now has two children together.
Moore told The New York Times that she has maintained her sobriety and is focused on building a stronger relationship with her children, as well as new projects like TV's Corporate Animals and the upcoming adaptation of Brave New World.
Refinery29 reached out to Moore and Kutcher for comment.

Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago-based conservative radio host, recently decided to silence critics of waterboarding once and for all. He would undergo the procedure himself, and then he would be able to confidently convince others that it is not, in fact, torture.
Or so he thought. Instead, Muller came out convinced.
"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke," Mancow said. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back... It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."
"I wanted to prove it wasn't torture," Mancow said. "They cut off our heads, we put water on their face... I got voted to do this but I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' "
Here's video of Muller getting waterboarded:
And here's his conclusion:
Christopher Hitchens underwent nearly the same experiment last year. He, too, concluded that waterboarding is torture.

Per Colin, "...the Lesser Octopus Eledone cirrohsa is found there, and that's the only Scottish octopus. ... I suppose the main point is that the fish dont normally breed until in their 30's -- they aren't getting the chance to reproduce." Thanks for the link, Colin!
