Hey there! I recently visited Disneyland last month for the Christmas season, to give you a quick update on what to expect this year. At Disneyland, the Christmas season runs from November 8th- January 6th.
During this time frame, Disney transforms its parks into a winter wonderland! Its nothing short of perfection! In this short article, we will go over what has changed and what to expect during Christmas at Disneyland.
The crowds are very high during the Christmas season. I recommend not going at all in December. I know I know… This defeats the whole purpose of going during the holidays! I am not stopping you from going in December, but I will tell you I went about 5 years back, and it was enough to make me not want to go during Christmas ever again.
I would recommend going the second week of November and only during the weekdays. Or make sure to add a couple of extra days to your trip, because 90% of your time will be standing in long lines.
I have recently gone over how to use the Disneyland App to utilize as much time as possible in both parks. Downloading this App will be a MUST for this time of year!!!
Another MUST is utilizing Disneylands FREE Fastpasses or upgrading to the Maxpass for an additional charge. I have gone over the pros and cons of upgrading to the Maxpass and the additional charge per ticket as well.
December crowds are usually a high of 9/10 or 10/10.
November crowds are 5/10-9/10.
A good way to purchase discount Disneyland tickets is through Undercovertourist.com they also have the most accurate crowd calendars that I have been able to locate.
I have put together a comparison chart for discount tickets for you to view and choose which site is best for you and your budget.
What's New:
During Christmas at Disneyland, Disney goes all out with lights and decor! I do really love the Halloween season because of the decorations, but when it comes to beauty, you really can't beat the Christmas season.
The number of lights throughout the parks is just astounding!
Food Venders in California Adventure:
I'm not sure if this is something new to California Adventure or not because it has been so long since I have visited Disneyland during the holidays. But something interesting that we noticed this year is there were a lot of food vendors throughout the California Adventure park.
I thought it was because possibly the restaurants would be completely overwhelmed during the holidays, but its actually a Sip and Savor Pass.

upper tier cells.
In cooperation with NYC DOC, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, the Office of Court Administration and the Harmlem Community Justice Center, the NY Correction History Society conducted a tour of the landmark Harlem Courthouse and its 5th District Prison in the fall of 2000 for Manhattan Borough Historian "Cal" Jones and his community historians. The NYCHS general secretary prepared the following briefing paper for the tour group to explain the role of the district courts and jails in the city's history:
New York City, that became five boroughs with the 1898 Consolidation, was once organized along district lines for various purposes. Today's community planning districts are distant cousins descended from the much more pervasive regionized governing arrangements of earlier eras.
Generally, these "prisons" actually were jails attached to or near district courts (variously called Police or Magistrates Courts). The jails typically consisted of little more than temporary holding cells for inmates in the early stages of the criminal justice system's intake process.
Two decades before the Civil War, the Almshouse Department -- one of the Correction Department's predecessor agencies -- counted among its facilities of a correctional character at least two prisons besides the Tombs: the Jefferson Market Prison, 10th St. and 6th Ave., Greenwich Village, and the Essex Market Prison, 1st & 2nd Sts. and 2nd Ave. They later became known, respectively, as the Second and Third District Prisons.
The Tombs was designated the First District Prison, but that was simply a nominal reference for system schematic consistency.
A suggestion was made in official quarters in the early part of 20th Century that these market prisons had originated as the jails of villages that became part of the city as it grew. Be that as it may, the beginning of what eventually became the district prison network traces at least as far back as the late 1830s.
In 1860, the Almshouse Department was replaced by the Department of Public Charities and Correction (DOPCC). Among the projects it undertook was expansion of the district prisons. It added the Fourth District Prison (Yorkville) in 1863 and the Seventh District Prison (West Side) in 1865.
The Yorkville Prison, or 57th St. Jail as it was sometimes called, had capacity for 40 detainees in the courthouse basement at 57th St. between 3rd and Lexington Ave. The judicial structure also housed the Fourth District Court and Family Court.
The West Side Prison, at 317 W. 53rd St., was one of the larger of these institutions, containing 38 cells and a large holding "cage." Male inmates stayed overnight, some remaining months and years. Women inmates didn't remain overnight. The fortress-like structure featured back-to-back cells, each a small stone cavern with no shelving and hardly enough space for a single inmate. But its 38 cells sometimes held 157. The night court on 54th Street was just in back of the prison.
In 1875, the Sixth District Prison (first called Fordham) was added and, 10 years after that, the Fifth District Prison (Harlem) was added.
Even as the Fordham prison was being created, the old Jefferson Market Prison was being razed and then replaced by a seven-story brick building to house a courthouse and detention facilities for 138 inmates, in part to relieve overcrowding at the Tombs. Dormitories and 28 cells provided capacity for 78 male inmates. Sixty cells were designated for female inmates. About a half century later the seven-story building was replaced by a 10-story structure. While the Women's House of Detention was building erected on the site of the Jefferson Market Prison in 1929-32, the Harlem Prison served as housing for female inmates.
The 5th District Prison is not being restored but is in extraordinarily good condition for a facility left unattended for more than a half century, features four tiers, each with 10 back-to-back cells, for a total of 40 cells, once capable holding 80 inmates when double-bunked. The tier walks, the cells, the bunk frames, the arched cell entrances, the individual cell doors -- all are there, worn but intact.
The Sixth District Prison was variously referred to as Fordham Prison or Morrisania Prison. The 1875 structure was replaced in 1924 with another. This, at161st near Third Ave., the Bronx, provided six pens for men and three for women.
In 1895/6, the DOPCC split into the Department of Public Charities (which later became the Department of Public Welfare and the Health and Hospitals Corp.) and the Department of Correction (DOC). About 10 years later, DOC opened the Eighth District Prison in West Farms, the Bronx. It was moved from Williamsbridge to 1014 East 181st St., the Bronx, in 1915.
In both Bronx District Prisons (6th & 8th), control was divided between the Department's Keepers and the County Sheriff's deputies.
A 12th District Prison opened in Washington Heights in 1929. Various reports listed it at 457 W.151st St. Some reports also listed it as 1130 St. Nicholas Ave.
There were no 10th or 11th District Prisons but a facility in the lower Manhattan --at 300 Mulberry St. and later at a Mott St. address -- served as a detention jail for traffic court inmates and homicide prisoners.
In the 1930s, the district prisons had a turnover of inmates running about 70,000 a year. Usually, these jails were under the general supervision of one warden for all of them. For many years that warden was Sidney W. Brewster.
By 1945, the district prisons had been reduced to four and functioned as detention pens: Jefferson market, Essex Market, Yorkville and Harlem. In 1946, Yorkville and Harlem Courts were consolidated into the Mid-Manhattan Arrest and Summons Court and the Jefferson and Essex Market Courts were consolidated into the Lower Manhattan Arrest, Summons, Traffic and Home Term Courts. The last two district prisons -- Harlem and West Side -- were discontinued in mid-1949.

Catherine Helen Spence
Born near Melrose, Scotland on 31 October 1825, Catherine Helen Spence decided by the age of thirteen that she would become a teacher and later an author. Unfortunately her formal education came to a stop in 1839 as a result of her father's financial ruin and social disgrace. With borrowed money her father invested in land in the new colony of South Australia and by the end of that year she arrived with her parents and seven brothers and sisters in Adelaide and lived for some time at Brownhill Creek.
Although disappointed she worked hard and regardless of financial hardship, and the death of her father in 1843, was able to open her own school, with the help of her mother and younger sister, in 1845. By this time she had already started with her novel, Clara Morison, which was also the first novel written about Australia by a woman. It was published in 1854 and declared 'a capital story of South Australia's life' by Rowland Hill and 'the best Australian novel we have met with' by Frederick Sinnett.
Five other novels were to follow. Tender and True in 1856, Mr Hogarth's Will in 1864, The Author's Daughter in 1868, Handfasted in 1879 but not published until 1984, Gathered In, serialised during 1881-82 and finally published in 1977 and A Week in the Future in 1889. She also wrote a social studies textbook in 1881, The Laws we live under. The Melbourne Leader when reviewing it wrote, Miss Spence, whose writings are well and favourably known throughout Australia, has just executed a little textbook for the Government of South Australia.
We are doubtful ourselves how far it is wise to attempt to teach even the elements of law and political economy in primary schools, but if we assume this to be desirable, we do not know that a better textbook than Miss Spence's could easily be found. It is very clearly and simply written, and the illustrations, which are commonly taken from South Australian history or life, are so frequent as to keep alive the interest which might flag over discussions of abstract principle.
It is also a very fair book. No one can read it without seeing that the author's sole object has been to do her work of explanation as thoroughly as possible, and that the book is not in any sense a party pamphlet. We are not always able to agree with her conclusions, but we always feel that she has endeavoured to state both sides of the case.
She also published many papers on other different subjects. Her autobiography, started a few years before she died in 1910, was eventually finished and published in 1937. She became famous for her work as an author and social and political reformer. She was a capable journalist and contributed numerous articles to several Australian newspapers. With the help of other concerned women she founded the Boarding Out Society in 1872 and became very involved in helping destitute women and children. Later she joined the State Children's Council and was appointed in 1897 to the Destitute Board. Catherine also supported the Social Purity Society where Mary Lee was doing a lot of good work.
In 1866 she visited England and wrote about her impressions. Her role, and that of other men and women, in urging education for women resulted in the establishment of kindergartens and the Advanced School for Girls, the first government secondary school for girls in Australia. It resulted in women being admitted to Teacher's Training Colleges and finally at University in 1881. The first woman to graduate from Adelaide University in 1885 was Edith Dornwell where she gained a B.Sc.
Catherine's efforts to obtain the votes for women and her life-long battle for a system of proportional parliamentary representation were widely acknowledged. In her attempt to bring this and many other reforms about, Spence became the first female political candidate in Australia when she stood (unsuccessfully) for a seat at the Federal Convention elections of 1897. She travelled extensively in Australia and overseas and gave many lectures in America, Canada and England.
Catherine Helen Spence was also instrumental in getting the Working Women's Shirtmaking Co-operative established. It operated a clothing factory in Adelaide which was owned, controlled and managed by and for women. She was an ardent supporter of women's advancement and her work as a writer, journalist, speaker and reformer was an example of what women could achieve in public life and encouraged women all over the world.
After federation Catherine urged women to become involved in public affairs and eventually became leader of the Women's Political Association, later called the League of Women Voters. She is buried at the St Jude's Cemetery at Brighton. As part of the South Australia Jubilee 150 celebrations in 1986, a statue commemorating her achievements was unveiled in Light Square, Adelaide.
Spence honoured on the new Five Dollar note.

SOMETIMES AN OCCASION can grow exponentially in your head, memories fermenting and swelling to create something much more grand, more suited to the magnitude of the day.
5 August 2014 will forever be a landmark day in Irish rugby, a cornerstone of a legacy.
Watching the game back three years on, you nearly expect it to come packaged with gripping soundtrack, maybe an Alec Baldwin voice over and all the cinematic glory of an edition of America's Game.
Instead, the normality of everything bar the full-time result is striking. Limited camera angles, a sparse venue and two evenly matched teams rather than David catching Goliath with a lucky shot.
Either side of the Ko Uhia Mai haka, the travelling support make themselves well and truly heard. The silence immediately after the anthems is filled by a female-voiced chorus of Ireland's Call from the stands. When teams disperse to set up, a roared 'come on you girls in green' carries Marcoussis to kick-off.
Up to that point, a lifetime of watching Kiwi teams meet and beat Ireland had taught us to expect a bursting bubble. Instead, Philip Doyle's women systematically undid a team considered unbeatable having marched to four straight World Cup victories since 1998. Within just over two years, Ireland U20s and senior men would also break the black magic hoodoo.
"The thing that stands out to me," Niamh Briggs told The42 before injury prematurely ended her third World Cup.
"There was no sense of panic at any stage. There was clear focus about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go, this inner belief.
"I'm not sure I played a game like it before in terms of belief within a squad. You go out to win games, but it was almost like an outer body experience. I can't even describe it to you."
In the opening minutes, Ireland were in control. If they looked set to lose a gainline, a collision, a leech would quickly set in and shove them over. Only a few errors were keeping New Zealand from enduring any real pressure: an overcooked kick towards touch, a forward pass, a dropped ball and a missed Briggs penalty.
That wayward kick is one of the first moments mentioned by the injured captain when we chat about the game. Goal-kickers are always hard on themselves, but it's also a sign of how this Ireland team felt the performance was well within their capabilities all along.
This was no smash and grab.
IRELAND (v New Zealand): Niamh Briggs; Ashleigh Baxter, Lynne Cantwell, Grace Davitt, Alison Miller; Nora Stapleton, Tania Rosser; Fiona Coghlan (capt.), Gillian Bourke, Ailis Egan; Sophie Spence, Marie Louise Reilly; Paula Fitzpatrick, Claire Molloy, Heather O'Brien.Replacements: Sharon Lynch, Fiona Hayes, Laura Guest, Siobhan Fleming, Larissa Muldoon, Jenny Murphy, Vikki McGinn.
"We had never played New Zealand before," said Lynne Cantwell in the weeks after her international retirement, "in a way the fact that we hadn't played them meant we had no memories. So our approach to it was very much our approach.
"People can psyche themselves out because of those memories they have or those pre-conceived notions of what it should be. I think that was one thing that had us in good stead."
It showed. Ireland never fizzled out after showing early intent. Ali Miller was finding space to raid and Marie Louise Reilly was dominating the line-out. There was zero let-up for the Kiwis at scrum-time either, where Ailis Egan, Gill Bourke and captain Fiona Coghlan were coolly upsetting the Black front row.
"It was a case of accepting that they were bigger than us," said the skipper at loosehead, "the prop I was against was 104kg, so we knew they were going to be bigger than us and higher than us. It was a case of being lower than them and being technically better — I think they were relying on their weight."
Such was Ireland's superiority, the pack clearly began to enjoy themselves. With the crowd's incessant noise reaching the players for every break in play. In particular, according to Egan in an interview with Second Captains, an openside on her way to an outrageously productive day.
"It was the first time we had a dominant scrum against them. We stood up and just before we re-set (Claite) Molloy was dancing to the crowd singing. And I remember looking at her thinking: 'we're going to beat these girls!'
"You wouldn't normally do that, you wouldn't usually hear the crowd or dance along to the music."
Something else that was abnormal was referee Leah Berard's decision not to award Ireland a penalty try after the scrum practically turned into a maul as it marched five metres over the Black Ferns' try-line with binds slipped and flankers mowing in from the side.
It was a call that us onlookers feared would prove costly, because in the 19th minute New Zealand finally found an escape route from their own half, gaining a foothold in Ireland's 22 and taking the lead two minutes later through a Kelly Brazier penalty. It was a major fillip for the reigning champions and they began to ask questions of Ireland's defence and breakdown. A 25th minute error from Tania Rosser, trying to shovel away a ball after it squirted out of a messy midfield ruck, gave the Ferns a chance to show their slick passing skills as they instantly punished the mistake with a Selica Winiata try.
After all that dominance, Ireland were 8 – 0 down.
"It was the most surreal game," says Briggs, shortly after an image of her from the game was unveiled as a new €1 stamp in the GPO.
"Even when we went down at the start, there was never any panic behind the posts.
There was no sense of panic at any stage. There was clear focus about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go, this inner belief. I'm not sure I played a game like it before in terms of belief within a squad. You go out to win games, but it was almost like an outer body experience. I can't even describe it to you."
So Ireland got back to the plan, back into the Kiwi half and got back to Nora Stapleton feeding runners on hard lines, back to Grace Davitt running into the heaviest of hits. Soon enough, Briggs was down on the ground 10 metres from the Kiwi line writhing in agony, the medics rushed on as she held her chest to shoulder region. A bad bang being treated while the majority of her team-mates forced their way in front of the posts with a lengthy period of play inching towards 25 phases.
It's the forgotten try in Ireland's success story on this day. Understandably so given the free-flowing counter attack that was to come, but the hard low-yardage carries from Reilly and Bourke in that sequence were every bit as essential to the win as they paved the way for Heather O'Brien to cleverly pick the ball up and ram it against the foot of the post.
Having dusted herself down, Briggs arose during the celebrations and slotted the extras. And in a way, the knock did her the power of good. The future captain was shook into her natural rhythm and the early errors or uncertainties vanished, replaced by a steely determination.
That mood was being mirrored by the pack on defence too, with Reilly's line-out holding firm five metres from their line, prompting the 15 in green to run to the changing rooms. One step closer to the point Coghlan believed they would really take over.
People were ready to get straight back out. Coming back onto the pitch the focus was again on that 60-minute mark and our fitness pulling us through. That's all we kept saying. We knew that getting to that mark would let us come into our own."
Up in the crowd, roaring Ireland on from their 7 – 8 half-time deficit, was a proven GAA talent who had switched to playing Sevens earlier in 2014. Hannah Tyrell will be inside the white line when Ireland are in the thick of the 2017 World Cup this month, but in Marcoussis, she could afford to stand in awe of the plan being executed before her.
"Old Belvedere had a lot of girls in the squad, so a big group of us went over to watch and support," says the woman who would soon be Ireland's right wing.
"The venue was amazing, the weather was great, the drinks were flowing and it was a phenomenal result to beat the Black Ferns in a World Cup and knock them out.
"The team and the defensive structure and the work they put in to get over the line was phenomenal. They could have easily let the occasion get to them."
It's the Black Ferns who feel the occasion – or rather, the occasion it became – became too much for them. Te Kura Ngata-Aerengamate, an unused squad member on the day, lamented that her side were "focusing two ahead" towards the semi-final stage. Kendra Cocksedge, the scrum-half sent on with nine minutes left to play, had to operate on a shredded platform.
"My job was to go on and try and bring it home," Cocksedge tells The42, "but it's hard when you go on the field and things are a little bit quiet. There was a bit of disbelief in there and you're trying to get everyone going, but it just wasn't our day.
"For us, I feel there could have been a little bit of complacency going into that game. Ireland had got a couple of tries and we were in our own 22, things got a little bit intense and we panicked a little bit."
Yet that feels far too simplistic when you watch women thundering into tackles and scrapping for every inch amid the nervous incidents Ireland had to come through to prevent the Ferns from pulling away further than 7 – 11.
Tania Rosser had already made up for any error by marshalling every phase of O'Brien's first-half try, and she doubled down on her value by stopping a certain try in the 55th minute. Honey Hireme – affectionately called 'Honey Bill' in her home country – smashed through Ashleigh Baxter and offloaded around Briggs to Winiata. The fullback was over the line, but Rosser was not giving up and definitely not letting go of the ball until a slew of team-mates came in to prop up her expert choke tackle.
Introduced at half-time, Jenny Murphy seemed to make as much impact as anyone and her presence at a time when New Zealand again threatened to turn a screw was worth her weight in gold. The Kildare woman started as she would go on, making massive hits and turnovers. Still the Black wave swelled. Cantwell and her relentless tigerish tackling was the heart of a formidable Irish defence when the pressure was cranked so high as to make a try seem a dead cert.
"From a backline point of view, we knew they had a lot of steppers so I suppose I just went through all of them and kind of knew which step they had, what their strengths were," said Cantwell.
"We'd analysed a good few of their moves and obviously you have options with every move, and we knew what their moves were going to be. They did a lot of that stuff quite far away from the gainline, so it wasn't actually that hard to defend."
Just as Coghlan predicted though, the closer that clocked ticked towards the hour mark, the stronger Ireland began to look. It took no little skill and nous on top of Marian Earls' conditioning work. Skill like Alison Miller's jackling effort to turn the ball Ireland's way in the 22 and clear down field.
Tables turned. Time for Ireland to show their attacking talent.
In scoring the most famous try in Irish women's rugby history, Miller showed off her searing pace for all to see. Less obvious, was the stamina required to even put her in the starting blocks. From a line-out on the left flank, Miller ran a support line on the right wing, cleared through a ruck and attempted a charge down. Thankless tasks, until they're not.
When Renee Wickliffe sent a loose kick to Ireland's left, Miller was hitting high gear to link up with Briggs before she broke the crucial first tackle.
"I didn't tell her I was looping at that time," says the Laois woman, she was just trying to keep her lungs full.
"You don't see it on the footage, we had a wide play down the right wing. I came back, so I had done a lot of running that you don't see on the video. I do tie up, but when Briggs gets the ball, you know she can make things happen out of nothing. So I just thought in my head: 'get with her!'
"When I looped around, once it became a 2 v 1 I was roaring for the ball… and I nearly didn't get there."
In games this big, 'nearlies' don't count.
While Miller was getting her breath back after being mobbed by team-mates, a tight angle awaited Briggs to nudge Ireland a full three points up. Of course she nailed it.
There was a sense then that this was a mirror image of the first half: the dominant side sucker-punched by a ruthless clinical attack. But despite Brazier hitting back, Ireland were in the ascendancy and they would be now lay siege to the world champions.
A powerful carry from Paula Fitzpatrick yielded a penalty 11 minutes from time. No way Briggs was missing the chance to put Ireland ahead. She was deep in the zone.
"The last 20 minutes are a blur for me, and I'm usually quite good at remembering things clearly," says the fullback.
Holding on to the lead for the final 10 minutes were about hard graft and calm heads. Stapleton continued to offer beautifully varied passing, Rosser led the defensive charge from scrum-half, hounding after any sniff of a loose ball, Coghlan's voice urged every woman at every turn, Molloy was everywhere and Briggs drilled the ball into New Zealand territory to allow Ireland close the game out far from danger. Still, against this team, that jersey and that silver fern, you can never relax.
"I remember looking at the clock," says Ashleigh Baxter, who will play as a flanker at this World Cup after operating on the wing in France.
We were down in their 22 and nearly in position to score again. Winning by three points with 10 minutes to go and I'm looking at the clock going: I can't do this, we have to hold them out for 10 more minutes!
"At the end of the game when Briggsy kicked into touch I looked at the clock again and there was a couple of seconds short. I was like 'WHAT HAS SHE DONE'?
"But the ref had told her it was game over. It was scarier being in the lead and having to hold on."
Full-time. Euphoria.
"I was looking for a good group of senior players," says INPHO's Dan Sheridan, who delivered the iconic post-whistle images.
"I was focusing on Briggsy and it happened to be herself, Nora Stapleton, Ashleigh Baxter and Tania Rosser. They just went absolutely ballistic and their emotion just kicked in. It was fantastic."
Just as striking as the timeless images is how quickly the live footage takes you out of that excitement. After the immediate release of emotion, players are composing themselves, shaking hands, taking liquids and heading for the changing rooms.
As Cantwell put it: "it was just crazy, you go crazy for a few minutes and then you tell yourself that you have to re-focus. This is just a pool game, it's nothing at all. It was huge mixed emotions."
Even in the sanctity of the dressing room, the utmost professionalism of a group of amateur sportswomen shone through.
"There was a fantastic feeling in the changing rooms," recalls Sheridan from his vantage point outside the huddle, "a fantastic performance all round, but they didn't go on about it – 'job well done, let's move on'.
"Great emotion and you feed off that, but they didn't start cracking open champagne bottles or anything like that. No big sing-songs, they came in, Fi (Coghlan) talked in the middle — 'enjoy this moment and bring that emotion in to the next phase.'"
The rest of the World Cup, unfortunately were mere foot-notes. A win over Kazakhstan secured a semi-final berth, but after pouring everything out to beat a powerful American team and once unbeatable Black Ferns, taking on eventual champions England and hosts France were just deep digs too far for Doyle's incredible team.
"When you're still playing you probably don't appreciate these moments as much as when you retire," says Miller, relaying words of wisdom from Sonia O'Sullivan.
"As an athlete you're always chasing the next thing and you can't sit back and enjoy what you've done because you're always looking ahead.
When you retire you can actually realise the magnitude of what we did that day."
Until then, it's time for a new World Cup adventure, time to make new memories and let the legacy grow more powerful still.

Trouble-Free Solutions In Guyanese Woman – For Adults
Language barrier is the thing I will never deal with…. I erroneously shared this concept for years. But then I found AsiaMe with high-high quality translation providers, and my life changed rather a lot. I spoke with many girls guyana woman there, but one of them stole my heart. Kaya made my existence brighter and more significant. Now she is actively finding out English, and nothing will intrude with our understanding.
At the time, I didn't perceive why my dad and mom had been unable to talk about courting, until my mother and father found I had a boyfriend. I had simply turned 15 with little to no expertise with sex when my father discovered. He was furious and insinuated a number of instances that I used to be having sex and on the verge of ruining my future by getting pregnant. None of this was true, for I used to be very careful in such issues. But, for my father, who comes from a conventional, conservative, old school Indo-Guyanese family, this was the first thought that got here to his thoughts. His pure teenage daughter was ruined.
These ladies will do no matter they can to help in troublesome occasions. Make certain your sizzling Guyanese bride is not going to disregard your plans and desires. Instead, she is going to encourage you to realize Guyanese Woman probably the most bold targets.

Two years ago, during the Venice Biennial 2017, a pair of gigantic children's hands rising above the water attracted attention. For this year's Biennial, the same artist created a piece of six arms reaching out to each other over a Venice canal. Miriam Bers spoke to Lorenzo Quinn about his work.
Miriam Bers:
Lorenzo, during our visit of this year's Venice Biennial we saw your amazing sculpture Building Bridges – six pieces of reaching arms clasping hands over a Venice waterway. How did you get the idea and what does the work mean?
Lorenzo Quinn:
This sculpture shares similarities to my previous work called Support. I created Support to raise awareness towards climate change. I wanted to highlight the rising level of the oceans due to limate warming as well as the need to safeguard our cities, our coastlines and all the beauty created by human beings. I'm inspired by the fact that humans have been able to generate unimaginable feeds in the past and hopefully we will be able to unite and to do so in the future. Right now, the issue ahead is to protect our world and to fight against climate change.
Therefore, we need people and we need to build bridges so people can come together all over the world and work towards a united front. This is the reason why I built Building Bridges.
For Support during the last Venice Biennial you installed two huge hands emerging from a canal resting against the Ca' Sagredo Hotel. It seems hands run like a red thread through your work. What is their significance, why hands?
Because I believe that an image is worth a thousands words and I believe that hands are immediately recognizable and people can see themselves reflected in the art. So, specifically when I am making a sculpture that has to be understood on a universal level I usually depict hands.

You grew up in an extremely creative climate, in an artists' family: You are the son of the actor Anthony Quinn and the designer Iolanda Addolori. Did you want to be an artist at early age – how did your parents influence you?
I guess if your father owns a restaurant then you eventually will be working there. So my father was an actor and he was very creative. I guess of course I grew up in that atmosphere but I always knew that I wanted to do something that didn't really feel like a job but also a hobby. My entire life I have been a creative person, I was always drawing and painting a lot and I'm so happy that my hobby became my job, my life job.
Tell me something about your work process. Do you have a 'Factory'- how many assistants are helping you?
I don't like to call it 'factory' – it is a foundry because a factory is something more mechanical and there is really nothing mechanical about what we do. Each work is individually handcrafted and there are no two pieces alike. The pieces are modeled and then they are molded and cast. And in fact one of the things that I love about my job is that it is a secular job – it is a craft that has changed relatively little throughout the centuries. This is one of the reasons why I am attracted to it because it is very hands-on. We are 60 people working in the foundry and another seven people in my studio including offices and workshops.
Support, Lorenzo Quinn, 2017, Quinn Creations
What does nature mean to you?
Nature is my inspiration and my livelihood. I need it as a human being and I need it as an artist.
Love, peace, balance, harmony – what has led you to these spiritual topics? Religion?
Well, I do believe in god, but I don't necessarily believe in the church. I believe in a power and this might be nature itself, energy, an energy source. I was brought up as a catholic but I am not a practicing catholic today.

Big Top looks like an older title from Microgaming, the slot being limited both in the number of lines and in the design department. The theme they went after in this case is related to the circus, the name of the game indicating that as well, "Big Top" being the name used for the big circus tent. While feature wise it might be OK, that remains to be seen, the design is old and the drawing style is not appealing at all.
In a 5 reel game like Big Top, you generally expect more than the 9 lines available in it, but that's what you get here. The features include in this case scatters and wilds, so they're not as rich as in other titles. A 5,000x top payout is advertised, meaning up to $25,000.
Features of Big Top
There are only two very simple features in Big Top. The first one is the wild symbol, the second is the scatter.
To start with, we have a clown in the role of the wild, and the symbol that behaves this way is marked with a multi-colored "Wild" stamp underneath. As the wild, you can expect it to try and assist you whenever it makes appearances, but it's still limited by the position where it shows up. It can't substitute for a symbol if that doesn't result in a new combo, so it has to land in the correct spot first, and that doesn't always happen.
The second symbol that is considered a feature is the one marked Scatter, having some kind of Monkey Clown underneath. This is another popular feature in many games, but it doesn't give you anything extra, only its own cash prizes. Depending on how many scattered symbols of this type are present, you get a payout that varies between 2x the bet (three scatters) and 50x the bet (five scatters).
Betting options and jackpots
The slot makes it easy enough to place a bet, requiring a single coin to activate a line. You use 9 coins to activate 9 lines, and you change the denomination to adjust the bet size, as needed. Each coin is valued between $0.01 and $5, so the wagers reach a top value of $45.
In exchange for your bets, the game promises payouts of up to 5,000 coins, which can mean $25,000 or less.
Design and symbols
As I've mentioned before, the design is the weakest part of the game. The game is colorful enough, just like a circus themed title should be, but the quality of individual designs is simply not good enough. The reason seems to be the fact that it's an old title from Microgaming, so it doesn't look like a modern one would.
Symbols: Wild Clown (wild), Monkey Clown (scatter), Big Top Logo (5,000 coins), Ring Master (600 coins), Clown (500 coins), Elephant (300 coins), Seal (250 coins), Ace (150 coins), King (120 coins), Queen (120 coins), Jack (100 coins) and Ten (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I'm personally not a fan, as the slot has only a couple of features and below average graphics. All in all, it's not the kind of game I'd want to spend hours on.
This Big Top slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.

A well thought out marketing plan provides a roadmap for making a profitable living off of your commissions. The key to a successful plan relies on a variety of factors, including identifying ways to make you stand out from competing agents selling the same policies. Using tactics that let prospective customers know how you can help them while offering something different than other agents is key to long-term success.
Step 1
Set goals for finding and converting new prospects that will buy insurance policies from you. Include a goal for retaining current customer policies. Another goal might include setting a certain amount of time aside each week to tackle marketing tasks.
Step 2
Identify the people or businesses to whom you want to sell policies, such as families that need life insurance, new car or boat buyers or small businesses that need health insurance for their employees. Look at your current clients to identify common characteristics about their need for insurance, including income level and location to find more prospects like them.
Step 3
Find differences between you and competing insurance agents, such as the types of customers they sell to, the level of customer service they provide and price. Use this information to find your competitive advantage so you can tell prospective buyers why buying a policy from you is the better choice. Your competitive advantage may be offering a reminder service of insurance requirements or personally explaining benefits and policy options in laymen's terms so customers understand what you're saying.
Step 4
Develop a marketing strategy that includes developing relationships with prospects who eventually buy policies. Include strategies for keeping current policyholders happy. Look for networking opportunities, such as becoming part of the Parent Teachers Association if you sell to families or joining the local chamber of commerce to get in touch with small businesses that need insurance plans. Gather testimonials from clients, and add them to a portfolio you show prospects. If you enjoy speaking or writing about insurance issues, look for venues and publications that help increase your credibility while showing your expertise.
Step 5
Track the results of your marketing plan by reviewing it every month. The review should give you a strong indication on whether or not the plan is working. Make adjustments as necessary, such as increasing your networking activity or refining your prospect presentation to bring your plan into alignment with your goals.
- One of your goals should focus on retaining customers who've already bought policies from you.
- Use your company's website to help you personally sell policies, such as by updating your bio with information on what makes you different than competing agents. Mention your availability for speaking engagements in your bio, too.
- Do not assume prospective buyers will call you when they're ready to buy a policy. Instead, find ways to keep marketing to them until they're ready to make a decision.

Eight Research Centers are currently in operation at the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases, along with several core facilities. Although senior investigators and their associates pursue their individual research goals, there are thematic approaches the different laboratories have in common.
Current Centers:
Cardiovascular Genetic Research studies heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis.
Hans J. Müller-Eberhard and Irma Gigli Center for Immunology and Autoimmune Diseases studies allergies, autoimmunity, asthma, infectious lung disease, skin, and kidney diseases.
Human Genetics addresses a range of diseases including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cerebrovascular disorders.
Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases focuses on noninsulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form of the disease affecting our population today. By investigating the genes responsible for risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, we may provide physicians with the new tools to help diagnose and treat diabetes long before debilitating complications can arise, or even before the disease itself can strike.
Molecular Imaging develops and engineers new imaging instrumentation, algorithms, and agents for in vivo molecular imaging in small animals. The Center uses in vivo imaging of unique animal models to answer key biological questions of collaborators. It also focuses upon translating scientific discoveries and new imaging approaches into the clinic such as the current trials of for near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging and non-invasive PET and optical imaging for nodal staging of cancer.
Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine explores the mechanisms behind stem cell self-renewal and differentiation with plans to expand current studies to develop stem cell lines designed to benefit transplantation medicine and the regeneration of tissues, and to provide vectors for gene therapy with direct implications for the treatment of a wide range of chronic diseases.
- Senator Lloyd and B.A. Bentsen Center for Stroke Research promotes research and collaboration leading to the prevention of stroke, a medical problem affecting countless individuals and families. With three-quarters of a million new or recurrent strokes each year in the U.S., research is vital to better understand, treat and help people avoid stroke. Researchers involved in the Bentsen Center - in areas including stem cell therapy, genetic predictors of stroke, induced hypothermia/hibernation, molecular imaging of the vascular system, and others - will have tremendous impact on the medical field as the center goes forward.
Texas Therapeutics Institute Texas Therapeutics Institute (TTI) which is jointly funded by the Texas Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) and the University of Texas (UT) is establishing research laboratories in three UT campuses: UT Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), and UT-Austin (UTA).
TTI faculties will coordinate their research activities to provide the necessary inter-institutional infrastructure to advance drug discovery and development in the State of Texas. TTI faculties will establish independent, complementary, and collaborative translational drug discovery programs.
Translational Cancer Research studies novel biochemical reagents and mathematical methods with which to treat futures patients with personalized medical procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Work in the center includes mathematical prediction of the optimal chemotherapy dosage based on a patient's tumor morphology, personalized aptamer targeting agents, morphology-based targeting agents, and bioinformatics. The center has state-of-art mass spectrometry equipment for both research and CLIA-certified clinical applications.

George Clooney is in talks to star in Jason Reitman's next film, an adaptation of Walter Kirn's novel Up In The Air. Clooney will play a cut-throat corporate downsizer who is consummed with getting the most airline frequent flyer miles he can.
Although the film will be Reitman's followup to last fall's surprise hit Juno, it is a project that the writer/director has been working on for some time. He first started working on the adaptation back in 2003, but set the project aside after he read Diablo Cody's screenplay Juno and decided to make that his follow up to his 2005 debut Thank You For Smoking.
Since the success of Juno, Reitman has served as a producer on Cody's follow-up screenplay, Jennifer's Body, which is being directed by Karyn Kusama.

For 1971, in addition to the five standard vinyl top options for Imperial, a "Burgundy" vinyl roof was made available (the other five colors were Green, Gold, Walnut, White, and Black). Over the years, several 1971 Imperial owners have noted that this burgundy top appears to have a paisley pattern to it. While this top pattern is quite interesting from an historical perspective, one must imagine it did not have a strong appeal for the average Imperial buyer in 1971. Chrysler Corporate Offices cancelled the option on November 27, 1970. With only two months or so of production, this vinyl top must be one of the rarest options in Imperial history!
The top was officially called "Burgundy," code V1M. V1M was recommended for exterior color GM8 (Sparkling Burgundy Metallic -- an Imperial-only color) with Burgundy interior, or also with Black or White & Black interiors. The "paisley" pattern was actually supposed to be hidden in the original dark burgundy fabric (see the full story below!), but over time, exposure to the sun and elements caused the burgundy to fade, bringing the "paisley" pattern to prominence, as you can see in the photos below.
In April 2004, Sandy Block, a former Chrysler and Imperial salesman, offered this insight on the paisley roof: The paisley mod roof on the Imperial never was!!! Here's what happened: In 1971, the Imperial vinyl roofs were in their usual grain. In the 11th hour (probably June or July of 1970), the powers that were made the decision to add a "Burgundy" colored roof to go with 1971 Imperial's exclusive (not shared with any other 1971 Mopar) "Sparkling Burgundy Metallic". However, for reasons unknown, they had tons of Mod-Top material left over. The decision had already been made to discontinue that choice, as it had not lived up to sales target projections. With all of this material left over, they had "AN IDEA!" That idea was to use the paisley Mod-Top material, and to PRINT the color (burgundy) onto it. Surely, being a dark color, there'd be no problems . . . or so they thought! If you have a 1971 showroom color & trim book, turn to the back and you'll see the actual material. Look at and rub the pad of a finger across all of the other color selections, and then do the same with the burgundy! See, the burgundy is smooooth, just like the paisley selections on the Dodges & Plymouths were. It should be noted that this paisley SMOOTH material was the sole domain of Barracudas (1969 only) and Dodge Darts and Coronets and Plymouth Satellites of 1969 and 1970. Such was never offered on the full-size Fury, Polara, Monaco, Newport, 300, New Yorker, or Imperial.
Well . . . the 1971s began rolling, and in short order (September 1970), the cars began arriving at their dealers. Immediately, the cars were parked outside, and by November '70, guess what? The "rich" burgundy began to fade, and guess what began to show through?? Right! Paisley! Immediately dealers screamed, and the factory send out some reps to eyeball the examples. When they reported back their findings, Chrysler immediately pulled the plug on the "Burgundy" vinyl roof. For examples that were really bad, the factory offered to replace the top for the buyer with either a black or a white vinyl roof. Others were sold with the burgundy roof still in place, which began to fade later on. After the roof color was pulled, the Sparking Burgundy paint option remained, but was offered with either the white or the black tops, depending upon the interior color selection. No, they never tried THAT cost cutting measure again!
Saavy observers will note the term "paisley" is indeed misleading regarding this particular fabric. The pattern of the top is NOT actually a true paisley. However, the the term "paisley" is commonly applied to the whole series of "Mod Tops" released by Chrysler in 1969 and 1970. Only a couple of them were actually paisley patterns, but the term "paisley" became sort of a generic term that stuck (even to the Dart Swinger top with the big yellow sunflowers). For more information on other Mod Tops, please see the Mod Top Registry.
If anyone ever spots an Imperial with this top, please let us know! We would love to have more pictures of this ultra rare option to add to our website!
|These images show how the fabric faded over time, with the burgundy darkening to near black, and the paisley pattern (not a true paisley, of course) coming to the fore.
|The images to the left and right are of an original 1971 Imperial with the burgundy roof option. This car was garage-kept for most of its life, so the top has been well preserved, and the original colors still make a dramatic presentation. The car has the Sparkling Burgundy Metallic paint with the Burgundy cloth and leather interior.

I write in my journal every day, and Gambu, my guide, always asks "what are you writing about?"
Every day I give him the same answer, "I'm finding different ways to say: everything is beautiful and everything hurts."
This morning was particularly hard.
Imagine going up a flight of stairs carrying a small child. You keep climbing flight after flight, and you think the end is up ahead, but you turn the corner and you just see more stairs. You do this a few hundred more times, all while taking in less oxygen as you climb higher.
I thought that part was tough, but I forgot about a nifty little law called gravity. What goes up, must come down. So, I spent the next two hours in a steep descent.
Going downhill sounds like a better time than climbing uphill, but it takes such a toll on my knees that I couldn't wait to go uphill again.
Anyways, they say all is well that ends well right?
I got to my guest house early in the day, per usual. Gambu and I keep a quick pace and don't really rest along the way, which gives me plenty of time to relax and enjoy the views.
I had been thinking about how this trek feels a lot less social than the last trek I have been on, the Camino De Santiago. I met so many incredible people from all over the world on that trek, some of whom feel like family to me now. I missed that kind of atmosphere.
Then I realized, maybe it wasn't the trek. Maybe it was me. Maybe I was being less social than usual?
This was a brilliant realization because this was something I could fix!
I decided to be more open to having a chat with passersby, so when two beautiful Frenchmen, whom I had seen around on the trek, stopped to chat with me and asked me to join them for dinner I happily obliged.
They were Kevin and Remi, two friends who both worked in finance just enjoying a vacation together.
We spent hours sitting around the fire in the dining room of the lodge we were staying at. Remi taught me French, while Kevin poked fun at how few vacation days Americans get. Then our little ménage à trois did the most fun and exciting thing two Frenchmen and myself could do: we played Uno until we were politely asked to go to bed.
Like I said, all is well that ends well. A day that started out so rough, ended in the loveliest of ways.

Microsoft Inspire: Gavriella Schuster highlights the value of the Microsoft Partner Network
There is no better way to kick start the year than at Microsoft Inspire in Las Vegas, surrounded by fellow global partners and corporate Microsoft leaders. The atmosphere is filled with energy and excitement as we lead into a week reflecting on the previous year?s highlights and showcasing the latest technology essential for continuing to support and serve our customers.
Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft?s Worldwide Partner Group (WPG), took the stage for the first corenote of the week, her emphasis understandably on the power of the Microsoft Partner Network. Home to more than 70,000 organizations, it serves more than 3.5 million customers worldwide.
To much surprise, yet with the gratitude of the audience, Shuster began with an apology.
"As you may know, a couple of weeks ago, we announced changes to the program competencies and internal use right, and the response from you ? our partner ecosystem ? was overwhelmingly negative," Schuster continued, "We clearly underestimated the value of those benefits and the impact that would have on you and your businesses."
This was bold, this was brave. It demonstrated the power of the Microsoft community but most importantly how deeply Microsoft invest and listen to their partners.
Shuster goes on to define the term partnership as, ?The relationship built on commitment, integrity and trust?, sparking discussion around what makes a partnership with Microsoft so powerful??
1. Trust
Technology is the foundation of which trust is built. Microsoft products demonstrate utter security and stability across workloads, which in turn instils confidence for partners to innovate and build upon these platforms. Trust is further recognized in the accountability we have as partners to share our passion for transformation to our customers via our unique cloud services, and solutions.
2. Collaboration
We have all heard it before "Partners make more possible" but Schuster brought this statement to life by sharing the success from 2019 and how this exponential growth has surpassed any previous year. Closely linked was the launch of the Microsoft One Commercial Partner (OCP) program 24 months ago, where doors opened for partners to co-create and co-sell with Microsoft more than ever before. This collaboration has extended the opportunity to create services that are ?more repeatable, more scalable and more profitable for everyone?.
3. Investment
If there is one thing that Microsoft demonstrates religiously, it is an on-going investment into the partner ecosystem. Schuster emphasized the unification of Microsoft Partner Center in creating a well-orchestrated experience for partners. Specifically, the ability to navigate and manage internal processes, accessibly communicate with the Microsoft team and most importantly launch a new route to market via the commercial marketplace filled with partner services and solutions.
Gavriella Schuster says the partnership ecosystem "enables us to make more of a difference, it enables us to make more change in the world". We are encouraged by her words and the strides that Microsoft have taken over the past 12 months to accelerate mutual partner success and are eager to carry this momentum and achieve more throughout FY20.

Poplarville, Mississippi – 15th Circuit Court District Attorney Hal Kittrell announces that on September 18th, Gustavo Adolfo Lopez, 48, of Guatemala City, Guatemala, pled guilty to trafficking more than 3 pounds of heroin. Lopez was sentenced to 30 years in prison by Circuit Court Judge Hon. Claiborne McDonald, IV.
This case stems from a traffic stop of Lopez on Interstate 59 in Pearl River County by Pearl River County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Quave. Deputy Quave located the 3 pounds of heroin inside a vehicle driven by Lopez. Lopez subsequently confessed that he was paid $5000.00 to pick up the heroin in Texas and drive them to Pennsylvania. He further stated he had done this several times in the past.
Hal Kittrell stated, "The defendant was working as a mule with the drug cartels in this case. His actions are evidence of what lengths these organizations will go to to traffic heroin across this state and country. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and after his sentence he will be deported. I would like to commend the Pearl River Count Sheriff's Department and the prosecution in this case led by Assistant District Attorney Clay Cranford, for their efforts in battling the trafficking of illegal narcotics on the Interstate 59 Corridor."

Open doors to citizens and tourists to visit the fortress which, until a while ago, appeared as an abandoned place. It's a simple even if suggestive scenery for bathers in the crowd on the surrounding beach during the summer season.
The restoration work has brought to light important archaeological discoveries and, again, this place near the town of Santa Marinella, corresponding to the ancient Pyrgi, has regained its worthy role in history, which in its case spans many centuries.The original fortress, dedicated to the young martyr Severa, was built between the 10th and 11th centuries; it became a Castle in the 14th century and, for about 500 years, until 1980, it was the residence of noble Roman families and the residence for many popes, including Gregory XIII, Sixtus V and Urbano VIII. The period of its maximum splendor was certainly between the 16th and 17th centuries, when the characteristic village also came to life and nourished with its charm the imposing structure, used strategically until the second world war, in the phase in which the German army set up its military post.The guided tour inside the Castle offers the curious the opportunity to go deeper into the history and secrets of this place and, from sunset, the chance to enjoy an original area of refreshment and relief from the summer heat.
CASTELLO SANTA SEVERA. Via del Castello (Via Aurelia SS.1 km 52.600 Santa Marinella). Opening hours: until 31 August from Tuesday to Friday 9-6 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday 10 a.m. -7 p.m. (ticket booth closes 1H before). Admission: full €8, reduced €6. The ticket comprehends the access to these museums : Antiquarium di Pyrgi, Rocca & Museo del Castello, Museo del Mare & della Navigazione Antica, Museo del Territorio (con prenotazione), Manica Lunga (at the occasion of events). With a supplement of €3, a guided tour Torre Saracena. Information: Tel. 0639967999. firstname.lastname@example.com

One of the great things about growing shoots is that it's so versatile! You don't need expensive equipment to get started, and most of the required components you probably already have on hand. Sure, there are commercially made germination trays you can purchase, but if you're not ready to fully commit money to supplies for shoot-production or if you're short on funds you can even use repurposed containers for growing your own leafy-greens.
Note: Read about Runamuk's #WinterGrowingChallenge to learn more about what it is, and how you can participate! And in case you need further convincing, here are 13 Reasons to Grow Your Own Shoots This Winter!
Your Imagination is the Limit!
To give you some ideas I scrounged a few containers from my own kitchen, repurposed them and grew a round of shoots in them. I had a 1 gallon milk jug, a half-gallon milk jug, and a container that organic mushrooms had come packaged in.
I've seen shoots grown in ceramic bowls, yogurt cups, shallow baking pans, clam shells─really your imagination is the limit here, so take a look around your house to see what you have on hand that you could use to grow your own shoots in!
There's still 6 weeks remaining in the #WinterGrowingChallenge. I hope I've inspired someone out there to give growing shoots and sprouts a try. It really is a super simple and affordable way to increase your family's consumption of leafy-greens during the long winter months. Certainly if I can do it, anyone else should be able to do it too.
If you are growing shoots this winter, and especially if you've been growing along with me as part of the #WinterGrowingChallenge─be sure to share a picture of your shoots with us on Facebook or Instagram and use the #WinterGrowingChallenge hashtag. Or just leave a comment below to share your story with me and the other readers! We'd love to hear from you!
There's still time to participate in the #WinterGrowingChallenge! Check out How to Grow Shoots if you need instruction; and for seeds take a look at what Johnny's Selected Seeds has available for shoots and sprouts! Be sure to tell them I sent you!

Sarri hopes to convince Hazard, Courtois in face-to-face meeting
The coming days and weeks will be immensely tense times for players, coaches, directors and fans of Chelsea alike — but, for no one more so than new Blues boss Maurizio Sarri, who faces the very real prospect of losing arguably his two best players before managing his first game at Stamford Bridge.
[ MORE: Transfer rumor roundup: Pogba wants Juve move, Grealish to Spurs? ]Forward Eden Hazard has made it pretty clear he'd prefer a move to his yet-unnamed "preferred destination," and goalkeeper Thibut Courtois has said he'd like to continue playing with Hazard, either in west London or elsewhere. Sarri hopes he'll have a chance to persuade the Belgian duo to stay another year, or longer, but he doesn't plan on doing so until they return from their offseason breaks, at which point he can meet with them face to face — quotes from the Guardian:
"Clearly the players you are referring to are very high-level players and I would like to keep them. But a telephone call without looking them in the eye will not give me any certainty.
"I would like to meet these players face to face and talk to them and understand what the best thing is for everyone to do. Before that I would also like a player to come on the pitch for four or five days with me to have a clear idea of what the plan is."
Given that the Premier League's transfer window will close before the upcoming season's opening weekend (Aug. 9), the period of time during which Hazard and Courtois will be available to meet with Sarri, and the amount of time to reinvest and replenish the squad should they leave, will be an extremely narrow window. After finishing third-place at the 2018 World Cup, they could very easily be away until the final 48 or 72 hours of the window.

Today is what yesterday was supposed to be.
I went on a 35-mile ride with temperatures in the mid-20s. This time, I didn't go alone. Tim joined me for the ride. He lives in Louisville, and enjoys finding new areas to ride. I enjoyed the company. I promised to ride with him on his turf sometime.
I rode my recumbent, and he rode his beautiful and well used Bleriot. It was a slow-paced ride. He appears to be a stronger rider than me, but neither of us wants to race.
Most of yesterday's snow and ice has cleared from the road, but there were still some slick patches.
Tim has blogged about the ride, and included a good picture of me, and both bikes.

Life expectancy is the most often used term to describe the health of the population. It quantifies how long an individual is presumed to live based on gender and geography. Life expectancy varies over the path of an individual's life because as they remain alive the time of birth, childhood, adolescence and also their chance of attaining older age rises.
[Tweet ""In the U.S., women live longer—81 years on average, 76 for men—but a recent study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reveals a troubling trend. "]Though men's life spans have increased by 4.6 years since 1989, women have gained only 2.7 years, perhaps because a larger percentage of women have lacked adequate treatment for high blood pressure and cholesterol. All these has brought about many questions to the mind such as "is there anything as longevity Nutrition/ diet?"
Well previous research has shown the answer to be yes! A case of life expectancy can be seen with the Pacific Islanders (the people of Okinawa) whose average life expectancy is believed to be more than 81 years compared to the United States which is 78 years and also on the average of 67 years worldwide. These particular group of people are considered to be lucky because they enjoy long lives to a greater degree.
These group of people are so lucky because diets play a major role in their life expectancy. A growing body of evidence recommend that diet is one of the great significance contributors to longevity and living a healthy life.
Here are some of the menu of people who enjoy long Lives:-
Life Expectancy Food
- : Fruits and vegetables are also comparatively low in calories and are also loaded with fiber and nutrients. Studies regularly indicates that diets with plenty of fruits and vegetables help people maintain a healthy weight and protect against cardiovascular disease.
- Low-salt Nutrition:Researchers have recognized for years that less salt in the diet means lower blood pressure. Now new evidence suggests that keeping blood pressure down may also protect brain cells and decrease the risk of age-related memory loss and even dementia.
- Blueberries:blueberries are stuffed with antioxidants that may keep us healthy. Researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, has found out that blueberries top the list in terms of their antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruit and vegetables.
- [Tweet "Tomatoes:Tomatoes are low in fat, high in fiber and a low-calorie source of many vitamins and minerals, but recent findings indicates that tomatoes have another important nutritional benefit"] – they're packed with lycopene, an antioxidant that gives them their red color and may also have a role to play in lowering the risk of cancer.
- Calcium Rich Foods:Bone loss and osteoporosis are among the leading reasons for disability in later life. And once a person become disabled, their health often reduces in many other ways. Although some bone loss with age is certain to happen, the process can be slowed down by eating foods high in calcium and vitamin D which can also prevent disabling fractures.
- Coffee: A growing number of studies recommends that coffee has many unexpected health benefits. In addition to potentially lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes, drinking coffee may reduce the risk of age-related mental reduction. According to the latest evidence that comes from a Finish study of 1,409 volunteers published in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease in 2009. [Tweet "It's found that people who drank coffee consistently during their middle-aged years were certainly less likely to suffer dementia and Alzheimer's later in life."] Those who drank three to five cups daily had a 65% reduction in risk.
- Soya:Soya is stuffed with quality protein and it is the only plant food that contains all the essential amino acids (protein building blocks) needed for good health, making it similar to meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. This also makes it a particularly important food for vegetarians and vegans.
- Grain: Whole grain include foods such as grain cereals, wholemeal bread, brown rice and wholewheat pasta. As the name suggests, whole grains contain the 'whole' grain, including the nutrient-rich germ, the energy-providing endosperm and the fibre-rich bran layer.

We Came To America
by Faith Ringgold (Author)
A timely and beautiful look at America's rich history of immigration and diversity, from acclaimed artist Faith Ringgold, the Coretta Scott King and Caldecot Honor winning creator of Tar Beach.
Vividly expressed in Faith Ringgold's sumptuous colors and patterns, We Came to America is an ode to every American who came before us, and a tribute to each child who will carry its proud message of diversity into our nation's future.
America is a country rich in diversity -- From the Native Americans who first called this land their home, to the millions of people who have flocked to its shores ever since. Some of our ancestors were driven by dreams and hope. Others came in chains, or were escaping poverty or persecution. No matter what brought them here, each person embodied a unique gift—their art and music, their determination and grit, their stories and their culture. And together they forever shaped the country we all call home.
