Lenny Niemeyer is a Brazilian designer of luxury swimwear. Her bikinis are created for great fit and unique style. Lenny Swimwear is known around the world.
When it comes to designing luxury swimwear that captures the imagination, Lenny Niemeyer is one of the most well-respected experts in the field. Her gorgeous luxury swimwear calls to mind some of the epic apparel created by the most iconic fashion designers in the world. Lenny Niemeyer understands the way luxury swimwear should hug a woman's curves, making her feel confident and glamorous, whether she's sitting on a yacht or sipping a glass of champagne by the pool. Not many luxury swimwear designers are as astute and creative as Lenny Niemeyer, who perfectly encapsulates the luxury lifestyle in her swimwear. Lenny Niemeyer puts a unique spin on every swimsuit she creates.
The luxury swimwear carrying the brand name Lenny are fashioned from the designs of Lenny Niemeyer, who entered the industry over 20 years ago because she couldn't find a bikini that matched her personal style. Lenny Niemeyer, a talented architect, began her new career in the swimwear industry shortly after arriving to Rio de Janeiro from her native Sao Paulo in 1980. Upon her arrival, one of her first self-appointed tasks was to find a bikini that embodied the sensual spirit of the locals, who are known by the Portuguese term Carioca. After a long search that left her empty handed, Lenny decided to take charge of the situation. She purchased a suitable length of Lycra, laid out a design and hired a seamstress to fashion a final product. The result was a bikini that fit the images of the Carioca in her imagination. Lenny continued to design new swimwear, and she sold her designs to some of the most respected brands in Brazil. However, after 10 years of designing for other companies, Lenny decided that it was time to start her own. In 1993, she began by renting additional apartments in her building so that she had space to manufacture her swimwear. In the same year, she opened her first store in the elegant Rio neighborhood of Ipanema. Sales took off, and she soon outgrew her apartment facilities. To gain the additional space required, Lenny used her innate resourcefulness to convert an old shed into a factory. Four years after starting her new business, Lenny was invited to her first fashion show. Some of the most talented and beautiful models in the business walked the runway sporting her designs, and ever since, her name has been associated with elegant, high-class swimwear. Lenny now operates 18 stores in Brazil, and her swimwear and fashion accessories are exported to continents throughout the world, including North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Published September 6th 2016.
"It strikes me now that everything that happened later in life was the consequence of that one impulsive adolescent decision to get out of England by the fastest available route and embrace the German muse as a substitute mother."
Schiller's "Die Deutsche Muse" epitomizes what I call the German Soul (taken from my own copy of the "Schiller Sämmtliche Werke" :
Kein Augustisch Alter blühte,
Keines Medicäers Güte
Lächelte der deutschen Kunst;
Sie ward nicht gepflegt vom Ruhme,
Sie entfaltete die Blume
Nicht am Strahl der Fürstengunst.
Von dem größten deutschen Sohne,
Von des großen Friedrich Throne
Ging sie schutzlos, ungeehrt.
Rühmend darf's der Deutsche sagen,
Höher darf das Herz ihm schlagen:
Selbst erschuf er sich den Werth.
Darum steigt in höherm Bogen,
Darum strömt in vollern Wogen
Deutscher Barden Hochgesang;
Und in eigner Fülle schwellend
Und aus Herzens Tiefe quellend,
Spottet er der Regeln Zwang
"More difficult to explain is my wholesale embrace of German literature at a time when for many people the word German was synonymous with unparalleled evil. Yet, […] that embrace has determined the whole later passage of my life."
"The legacy of that early immersion in things German is now pretty clear to me. It gave me my own patch of eclectic territory; it instilled in me the notion that a man's journey from cradle to grave was one of unending education – hardly an original concept and probably questionable. And when I came to study the dramas of Goethe, Lenz, Schiller, Kleist and Büchner, I discovered that I related equally to their classic austerity, and to their neurotic excesses. The trick, it seemed to me, was to disguise the one with the other."
"To the creative writer, fact is raw material, not his taskmaster but his instrument, and his job is to make it sing. Real truth lies, if anywhere, not in facts, but in nuance."
These three quotes caught my eye. I was already quite familiar with the connection between German Studies and Culture and Le Carré. Those connections populate his books throughout. Over the years I have also learnt other languages, yet none has fascinated me as much as German does. This is probably because of the clear grammar and easily understandable structures that are distinctive of the German language. Everything has its place in a German sentence, and what I particularly appreciate is that the moment one begins a sentence one must already have a clear notion of how it will end, i.e., before opening my mouth I have to know what I'm going to say... Over the years, the German language became my gate to German literature. It is my opinion that Germany has some of the best literature in the world. It'd be easy at this point to point out a long list of German writers whose literary oeuvre has had an important bearing on world literature. I won't bother. Everyone knows who I'm talking about. What I also find particularly appealing are the motifs that are dealt with in German literature. The most important historical moments that have shaped not only Germany but also the world (and Europe in particular) are reflected in German literature.
More than 30 years ago I also went into the world of spy fiction. It's impossible to forget that. It happened in the worst day of my life; I was roaming my city, Lisbon, without rhyme or reason, when I found shelter in cinema Quarteto, one of my favourite movie theatres at the time. There was a spy movie cycle on. What did I watch? A lot of movies based on Le Carré's movies. I was hooked for life. I went into the theatre and I was Alex Lamas, George Smiley, Karla, etc. for a while. I went into the obscure jungle of the Cold War with my eyes wide shut. It didn't take long for them to open though. And they stayed open. Through their eyes I became those people. With them I lived the total experience, visual and auditory, going from sepia to grey, from the heavy breathing experiences to the ultimate music soundtracks. The atmosphere of the Cold War seeped into my own reality. That "reality" became my Weltanschauung. This take on reality explains nothing and everything, in a way that all things seemed too damn materialistic and metaphysical, all in one go. I was in front of the screen taking part in my own mental landscape, inhabiting another world, in a time so long and extended, changing my own perception of space and time, turning reality into a different thing altogether. That's why when someone tells me: "I don't read
fiction." (You may change "spy" for any other kind of genre: SF, Crime, etc.), I always say "piss off!".
That's also why I always think genre is a red herring. A great writer is a
great writer is a great writer. And some of le Carre's work belongs to the
masterwork category. Another example is P. D. James - some of her work is
outstanding, and the crime genre is irrelevant. She addresses universal truths.
What bothers me the most about genre is that there are people who say they
won't read certain genres. How can they say that? It's good (and sometimes
exceptional) writing that makes good (and sometimes exceptional) books, not the
genre they're supposedly in. Words can't be trapped. I can't dismiss SF, Crime,
or Spy fiction because they belong to a literary ghetto. I can only say, that
in times of anguish, doubt, darkness and despair, the one book that I have
turned to has always been "Smiley's People" with the incomparable Alec Guiness in my mind's eye (Le Carre´s biography contains a wonderful chapter dedicated to Alec). Perhaps
it reflects my own view of life, that nothing is black and white and life is
all shades of muted silver in colour. In one word: "shiftlessness". But
ultimately my câmera obscura is
lighter than the other câmera obscura (before
you ask, "câmera obscura" is Portuguese - forget Da Vinci, and I would like my own "colour" to
win). Is Le Carre's prose in his literary biography crafted in a way as to deny
any kind of a narrative arc? I quite agree there are conventions for literary
biographies, just as there are literary conventions for what we like to call
spy fiction, but the thing with Le Carré, more than with many writers, is
whether these conventions falsify or misrepresent reality as we see and feel
it. Does Le Carré, with his literary biographer hat on, has more of an
obligation to conform to genre conventions or to get at the truth of a
subject's life, and if the latter, what form would do the job? Even after
reading Le Carrés "The Pigeon Tunnel", I still don't any have good
answers, but giving the definition of a genre normative force begs the
question: "why is this the definition? Why are these the
"The Perfect Spy" is the greatest post-1945 British novel in my humble opinion. Amis, Faulkner, Barnes etc. are all revealed as the shallow, talentless nobodies they really are when compared to Le Carré at his peak.

Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre creates original and dynamic dance theatre that raises questions, challenges social norms and values, and magnifies humanity through dance. Productions pivot around core themes and through an interplay between athletic and pedestrian motion, activate emotional expression, character, and narrative in a rich and abstract collage. Presenting dance in an immediate, mature, and inclusive way, we engage audiences from start to finish and beckon a response of thought, feeling, and soul.
Founded in 2000, Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre has presented 10 original evening length works and dozens of shorter works at NY Performance Seasons and festival engagements, and offers residencies to colleges and universities. We include audiences in the creative process by offering open rehearsals, interactive performances of developing work, and access to videos, photos, and interactive tools on our website. We have presented over 25 productions at venues including New York Live Arts, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, Danspace Project, The Ailey Citigroup Theater, John Jay College, and Dance New Amsterdam.
Inside New York: "Amanda Selwyn is a master at illustrating the symbiosis of sound and movement, the romance of motion and emotion – she had me laughing, crying, cringing and gasping all in the short 55-minute production."
Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival's Pillow Pages: "Choreographically, Amanda's point of departure is not an image or a gesture, but a theatrical imperative felt in her insistence on expression."
As an accomplished choreographer with a fresh and vibrant movement language, Amanda Selwyn is becoming a prominent voice within the New York dance community. Each year, the company gains more momentum as presenters, funders, critics, and audiences take greater interest in the work. We receive funding from the Harkness Foundation and have been presented twice at the Jacob's Pillow Inside/Out Series.

Alleged HTC tablet looks like a mini iMac
Leaked images of an alleged unreleased HTC tablet indicates that the design will not infringe on Apple's iPad. Instead, it looks rather like a miniature iMac.
Cult of Mac reports that the images, which appear to have been taken from a HTC video, were discovered by Twitter user evleaks, and depict a 10in tablet looks extremely similar to the unibody iMac.
The tablet appears to have a dock running along the bottom that closely resembles the OS X dock, as well as an off centre, 16:9 aspect ration display like the one found on an iMac.
It is not yet known whether these images are the real deal, and there has been no official announcement about such product from HTC, but it gave us a giggle when we came across it this morning.

text: I discovered the work of illustrator Alexander Wells in the most recent issue of Port Magazine. His illustration work really caught my eye and so I checked out his website to see more of his stuff. It was there that I discovered this incredible series of illustrations he recently produced for The Folio Society's edition of Isaac Asimov's highly acclaimed Foundation Trilogy. Released late last year, the books look terrific and Wells' illustrations really make it come to life!

Does Ron Paul See Himself In the Oval Office? "Not Really"
Ron Paul told Terry Moran of ABC he knows what the odds are.
In an exclusive interview, I asked him: "When you lay your head on your pillow at night, do you see yourself in the Oval Office?"
"Not really," he said.
He went on to say that he's not blind to the odds, but they are "not as slim as they were 25 years ago."

Chiropractic history
The importance of the spine and nervous system in improving and maintaining health has been known for thousands of years in various forms. The modern science and art of chiropractic began just over 100 years ago?
Ancient history (circa 2000 BC to 1800 AD)
Ancient history (Circa 2000 BC to 1800 AD)
The earliest recordings of spinal corrections are depicted in ancient Chinese etchings on turtle shells, dating back over 4000 years. The ancient Indian practice of Yoga concentrated on keeping the spinal column flexible through various exercises, there is an old yogic saying that 'a person is only as healthy as his spine'.
In 1500 B.C., the Greeks were recording their successes in lower back treatments. Hippocrates the 'Father of Medicine' also documented the key role of the spine and nervous system. He wrote - " Get knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases.' Hippocrates' many writings included manuscripts such as ' Manipulation and Importance of Good Health ' and another called ' Setting Joints By Leverage '. These works were written around 500 B.C.
Most cultures practicing some form of medicine have ancient writings dealing with the spine and its effects on the body. The evidence suggests that spinal care pre-dates medical-care and has been one of the favoured healing systems during most of mankind's civilised existence.
Following Hippocrates, another famous Greek Physician, Galen, wrote early in the second century - "Look to the nervous system as the key to maximum health". Galen was made famous for treating a Roman scholar. He adjusted Eudemus' neck which cured a paralysis of the scholar's hand and arm. Galen is also credited with the following wisdom - 'Leaving the affected parts alone, you will reach the spine from which you will treat the disease.'
Why were these great works ignored for centuries?
It can be traced back to the fall of the Roman Empire and the rampant destruction of the scholastic institutes of the time. Modern medicine was set back centuries by these acts. During the Dark Ages the spinal manipulative arts were forgotten by most physicians who preferred chemical concoctions along with bleeding by leeches. But all was not lost. Some of the techniques were handed down from generation to generation and there are many recorded cases of European "bone-setters" performing amazing acts of healing.
From the 11th through 15th centuries, "back walking" was practised in Asia and Europe. European gypsies used back walking as a cure for the sick. This crude form of spinal care known as 'trampling' or 'stamping' required the patient to lay on the ground while a woman was called to walk on his or her back. According to custom a virgin was preferred, or failing that, a mother of twins.
In Europe during the 1800's medical doctors shunned the art of "bone-setting" instead preferring to apply leeches and cauteries (hot irons) to the skin over tender spinal areas (Ouch!). But in 1867 a famous surgeon, Sir James Paget, recognised the evolving art with his article in the British Medical Journal entitled , 'Cases That Bone-Setting Cures' . In it he described the types of spinal manipulation known at the time. In the early part of the 20th century Germany enjoyed a thriving branch of manual medicine.
The "discovery" - 1895
The modern history of chiropractic began on September 18, 1895, in the small office of Daniel David Palmer, a teacher, magnetic healer, and founder of modern chiropractic. He was a self-educated man (as many were around the turn of the century) with a thirst for knowledge. This led him to the study of magnetic healing, a hands on therapy practised by many medical practitioners of the era. D.D. Palmer opened his first medical practice in Burlington, Iowa in 1887. He later moved his office, which included a 14 room infirmary, to Davenport, Iowa.
It was on that warm September day that his 'discovery' took place. At the time Dr. Palmer was trying to understand the cause and effect of disease. In his building there was a janitor, Mr. Harvey Lillard. D.D. Palmer learned that 17 years earlier Mr. Lillard was bent over working and had felt something give in his back. He had suffered near complete hearing loss ever since. After much persuasion Mr Lillard allowed D.D. to examine his spine to see if anything could be done. D.D. discovered a "lump" on Mr. Lillard's back and suspected that a vertebra might be out of "alignment" and "pinching" a nerve going to Mr. Lillard's ears. With an admittedly unrefined chiropractic technique, D.D. adjusted the vertebra with a small thrust. Mr. Lillard was excited to hear noises from the street below. After several such treatments, Mr. Lillard's hearing was completely restored?
Chiropractic was born!
To quote D.D. Palmer's recollection of that day:
"An examination (of Harvey Lillard) showed a vertebra racked from its normal position. I reasoned that if that vertebra was replaced, the man's hearing should be restored. With this object in view, a half-hour talk persuaded Mr. Lillard to allow me to replace it. I racked it into position by using the spinous process as a lever, and soon the man could hear as before. There was nothing accidental about this, as it was accomplished with an object in view, and the result expected was obtained. There was nothing crude about this adjustment; it was specific."
This dramatic beginning caused much excitement. At first D.D. thought that he had discovered a cure for deafness. Numerous people flocked to get this ?miracle' cure, and of course while very few would have their hearing restored many other conditions were noted to improve or heal entirely. People reported being cured of heart troubles, stomach complaints, skin conditions, headaches, sciatica?
D.D. Palmer was getting well known, far and wide, as the discoverer of a powerful new drugless way of curing people. One of D.D.'s earliest patients, a minister and Greek language scholar, is credited with creating the name "Chiropractic" for this new art and science of manipulation. He took the Greek words for " hand " (cheiros) and " done by " (pracktos) and put them together to create Chiropractic , meaning " done by hand ".
As these "miracle" stories became commonplace, the controversy surrounding chiropractic began. Established medicine at the time was, and still is, focused on blood and body chemistry, with drugs and surgery as means to alleviate disease. This new method of healing was seen as a major threat.
In the early days, D.D. Palmer and many other chiropractors were convicted of practicing medicine without a license. D.D. spent 23 days in jail and had to pay $350 in fines (a great deal of money at that time). Many of the patients of jailed pioneer chiropractors would pay the bail so they could continue to receive chiropractic care.
A year later, one of D.D.'s students, Shegataro Morikubo, was arrested for practicing medicine and surgery without a license in Wisconsin. In a landmark decision the judge and jury agreed that Morikubo was NOT practicing medicine but instead another form of healing called, CHIROPRACTIC.
Despite the initial opposition from the medical fraternity, chiropractic healing grew in popularity over the next fifty years, some say due to the relentlessness of D.D. Palmer's son, B.J. Palmer.
B.J. helped his father build Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa, into one of the largest chiropractic colleges in the United States. The college grew from 24 students in 1906 to 3,100 in 1923. B.J. Palmer died in 1961, after ensuring the success of chiropractic and dominance in the non-medicated healthcare field.
Today you will find chiropractic colleges and practitioners spread throughout the world.
Today there are over 35 chiropractic institutions throughout the world including the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
The increasing recognition and acceptance of chiropractic is based on the strength of the growing body of scientific research, and the positive results chiropractic care has given to millions of satisfied people. Chiropractic is now the world's third largest healthcare profession, the largest holistic approach, and one of the fastest growing.
The art and science of chiropractic is continually evolving and being further refined. Many techniques or ways to adjust the spine are now available, ranging from application of very light contacts through to the classic dynamic thrust, and also instrument and table assisted delivery. Science is affirming the underlying basis of how increased spinal motion can improve neurological function and overall health and well-being. Chiropractic services are now covered under many government and health insurance policies and it is now even available in some hospitals.


text: Aberdeen's new fire facility will have a bust of a firefighter while the downtown station will have an 8-foot-tall statue. The city plans a project to build the new fire facility and remodel two others. The new facility and the remodeling of the downtown station will be bid in early July. A third station at the airport will be bid at another time. According to Dean Marske of HKG Architects, the overall cost for the three stations is roughly $3.1 million. Building an addition and remodeling the downtown station is expected to cost $543,000. Building the new station is estimated to cost about $1.8 million. Demolition and remodeling of the airport station should cost $714,000. In addition to the remodeling cost, a committee has been formed to raise $75,000 for an 8-foot-tall, 500-pound, bronze firefighter statue, a granite base, benches and lighting. Ben Victor, an artist in residence at Northern State University, is building the project. Roughly $35,000 has been raised so far, Victor said. Much of that money was raised in one day by making calls and presentations to organizations, businesses and individuals. Not one person has turned them away. "It's been absolutely wonderful," he said. Originally, the statue was in the budget for the new fire facility, but the funds were cut during the 2007 city budget session. When Victor's similar statue, commissioned for Lawrence, Kan., visited Aberdeen, it drew so much interest that a committee was formed to raise money for an Aberdeen statue. The committee decided the statue would be better seen at the downtown fire station, so Victor decided to build a firefighter bust for the new facility at no cost to the city. The statue will be similar to the one Victor created for Lawrence. It features a firefighter in full gear ready to head back into a fire. Victor said he will make some changes to the statue, such as the style and brand of the gear, but generally the statue will have the same pose. The statue should take about eight months to complete, Victor said. He'll begin working on the project when the money has been raised. He hopes that's within the next three weeks. The new fire station, to be built at the intersection of the U.S. Highway 281 bypass and Eighth Avenue Northwest, is being built to replace station No. 2 on North Main Street, which simply isn't large enough. Plans for the new facility include six bedrooms, an exercise room, lounge, kitchen, dining room, computer room, office, classroom and storage facility. Remodeling plans for the stations downtown and at the airport include new sleeping quarters, shower areas for men and women firefighters and office space. The city's capital improvement plan shows the city spending $505,000 toward the fire facility in 2007. The Aberdeen City Council decided to build a new police facility, fire facility and remodel the other two fire stations after a 15-member task force recommended it. Marske will meet with the City Council again in late July or early August to discuss the final review of the project.

At age 32, Michael Vick believes he's still the fastest quarterback in the NFL.
The NFL's career leading rusher for quarterbacks, joined the "Dan Patrick Show" on Friday and expressed confidence that he could best anyone at his position in a foot race, even insisting he can he still run a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash ("maybe a high 4.4").
"These guys are young and they're fast and they're quick, the thing I do have is a very quick get-off... by burst," Vick said. "I really don't feel like there's a quarterback in the league who can beat me in a 40-yard dash. If somebody wants to set something up, I'll be more than glad to accept the challenge. But as of right now I'm going to say me. But Colin Kaepernick is fast and RGIII is fast as well."
Eagles running back LeSean McCoy claimed that Vick's "burst" was actually a false start when the two teammates raced each other earlier in May. Vick, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds at the 2001 NFL Combine, called McCoy's claim a "false statement."
Whether or not McCoy actually has video evidence that Vick cheated as he has claimed, football fans would much rather see Vick line up against the other fleet-footed quarterbacks in the NFL than a rematch in Philadelphia. In preparation for those matchups that are unlikely ever to take place, here are highlights and 40-yard dash times (via nflcombineresults.com) for some of the likeliest challengers for the title of "NFL's Fastest Quarterback."

I touched the Mus-haf and read from it when I was menstruating, over a woman who was possessed; she became hysteric and no one could read over her to calm her down. There was no one who could recite well except me, so I was forced to read. What is the ruling on what I did? Is there any sin on me?.
It is not permissible for anyone who does not have wudoo' (whether they are menstruating or otherwise) to touch the Mus-haf according to the majority of scholars, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "No one should touch the Mus-haf except one who is in a state of purity." Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta', 468; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 122.
A menstruating woman may recite Qur'aan without touching the Mus-haf, according to the most correct view, such as if she recites what she has memorized, or if she holds the Mus-haf with a cloth and the like. She may also read from a Qur'aan that includes commentary, as is explained in the answer to question no. 2564, 60213.
You should have avoided touching the Mus-haf directly, and held it with something that would have formed a barrier, such as a clean cloth, or worn gloves, or turned the pages with a stick or pen and the like.
However, something forbidden took place. All you have to do is ask forgiveness of Allaah and repent to Him. We ask Allaah to forgive you, and we ask Him to accept your good deed and reward you for helping your sister.
And Allaah knows best.

Behind the Scenes at Twyla Tharp's New Ballet
Does Tharp plus a Danny Elfman score equal a return to the glory days?
When we were invited to a private viewing of Twyla Tharp's new ballet for American Ballet Theatre, we weren't sure how to feel. We love Twyla, and her ballets — insouciant yet elegant — are an ABT specialty. But the last Twyla work this town saw was her oh-so-unfortunate Dylan musical, The Times They Are A-Changin', and we were still smarting from the visual overload of trampolining people-as-circus-animals. Plus, costume designer Norma Kamali was running 40 minutes late, and when Twyla told the first cast to skedaddle because "nothing we love like repeating, is there?" we're not gonna lie — we were a little scared of the tiny, bespectacled choreographer.
But we're happy to announce that Twyla is back to fine fighting form with this ballet. Here's what we know about the as-yet-untitled piece, which premieres as part of ABT's spring season on June 3.
It's a roughly three-section work starring most of the company's major stars. It starts with typically Tharpian solos — all looping combinations, slack arms, carefree leaps, and playfully combative duets — for dynamos Ethan Stiefel (back from an injury, and looking fierce) and Herman Cornejo. Gillian Murphy and David Hallberg — two dancers whose work is often too pristine — get a charming comic duet. And the score by Danny Elfman, often thumping and wildly percussive, reminds us a great deal of the pulse Philip Glass's music gave to one of Twyla's greatest works, In the Upper Room.
Kamali's costumes are in the embryonic stage (she was viewing the ballet for the first time), but we did see Twyla introduce her to Stiefel and Cornejo (she identified them by their character names, Rogue and Rabbit, and instructed Cornejo to remove his hoodie in Kamali's presence — the better to see his abs). And she pulled over star Paloma Herrera to compliment her "incredible presence, very inspiring for me." A vibrant score, a return to signature Twyla, and costumes befitting a gorgeous Argentine ballerina? We finally know how to feel: excited. —Rebecca Milzoff

There are three ways to proof your pictures: traditionally (print film negatives and create a laminated proof like a Matchprint), on a color printer (like one of the new breed of inkjet printers), or on screen. On screen? If you've been paying attention during this chapter, you know that you can set up your system well enough to start really trusting what you see on screen. Proofing images on screen is called soft-proofing, and Photoshop 6 makes it much easier to do than ever before.

Brussels-based RSC Anderlecht will face Bayern in the UEFA Cup Round of 16 after the reigning Belgian champions eliminated Girondins Bordeaux on Thursday night. Following a 2-1 home success in the first leg, the side coached by Ariel Jacobs drew 1-1 in France to seal a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Thomas Chatelle put the Belgians in front on 34 minutes at the Stade Chalban-Delmas in Bordeaux. Fernando Cavenaghi levelled on 71 minutes for the team lying second in France, but the home side shot themselves in the foot with red cards for Tremoulinas and Chalmé as the visitors held out for the draw.
Tough proposition
The 29-times Belgian champions will now face Bayern for the seventh time in European competition. "It'll definitely be a lot more difficult than Aberdeen," commented Uli Hoeneß, well aware that previous meetings with Anderlecht have tended to be tight affairs. Bayern have won three, with two draws and one Munich defeat.
"Anderlecht aren't doing so well in the Belgian league, but they're a hard side to beat," observed Mark van Bommel. RSC currently lie fifth in the Jupiler League. Bayern will still approach the double-header, on 6 March in Brussels and on 12 March at the Allianz Arena, in confident mood. "We have a slight advantage in that the first leg is away from home. That's our reward for winning the group," Hoeneß remarked.

Mindful Movement
Sensational Development's Mindful Movement programs in Massapequa include children's mat yoga classes, infant and toddler programs, aerial yoga and mindfulness programs and more!
Mindfulness means being present, in yourself and your surroundings. It is paying attention with kindness and not placing judgement on ourselves, others and feelings. We feel that teaching children about mindfulness is beneficial for them now and for their future! We use play and movement, two main childhood occupations, to teach mindfulness concepts throughout our classes. Movement is a powerful way to engage our bodies and minds, provide an outlet and the necessary sensory input growing children crave.
We have teamed up with some of the most dynamic and passionate instructors and we are thrilled to now be offering Yoga! Please call for scheduling and reservations.
All of our classes are held in a non-competitive environment, designed to enhance the unique developmental stages of children. We understand that all children develop at their own pace, therefore class ages may overlap.
Please call to register for a class. Most children's classes are 45 minutes long and are offered in 6, 8 or 12 week sessions. We will also be offering trial classes and events during our "off weeks" between sessions.
Our sessions and semesters will allow us to foster a sense of community within our classes and maintain consistency week to week.

8 Celebs who turned the American flag into bras, thongs
Hey, we're all proud to be Americans, right? So we aren't going to knock celebs for wearing their patriotism on their sleeves... literally. These stars happily drape themselves in red, white and blue.
Photo credit: WENN
Not everyone can pull off an American flag thong bikini, but Claudia Romani has a few things working in her favor. First of all, she's a model — clearly a very beautiful one. She has appeared on the covers of popular men's magazines, like GQ and Maxim, and has been voted one of the sexiest women in the world. Second, she's based in Miami, Florida, so we imagine she spends plenty of time strutting her stuff in teeny-tiny bikinis. Seeing this one, we can't help but think it inspires patriotism... in men, at least.

When Mariah Carey celebrates the Fourth of July, she does it in classic star-spangled style. Although this bikini feels a bit 1992 to us, we won't give her too hard of a time. She clearly likes to relive glory days — both hers and our country's. That kind of patriotic gusto, well, some might say it is music to the ears.
Photo credit: Instagram/Lauren Conrad
If this isn't a patriotic crowd, we just don't know what is. You might recognize these lovely ladies as part of a little clique that runs in the Laguna Beach area. Or perhaps the Hills? That's right — it's pretty Lauren Conrad and her crew, including her ever-faithful (and equally-patriotic) BFF, Lo.

Those real housewives are nothing if not patriotic. Not only does former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, Gretchen Rossi, wear her stars and stripes across her body, but she also bedazzles 'em. 'Cause, really, what says you love your country more than rhinestone-covered boobs?
Photo credit: Instagram/Bonnie McKee
Adorably-colorful and eclectic singer, songwriter and actress, Bonnie McKee, paints an ultra-cool picture of patriotism by posing next to a Corvette literally wrapped up in an American flag. We're not sure if this is a bathing suit, a bra or a new-fangled, star-spangled tank top, but we're digging the whole fast cars and freedom vibe McKee's got going on here.
Photo credit: Instagram/Christie Brinkley
Not only does this picture of Christie Brinkley sporting an American flag bikini make us feel particularly proud to be American, it also makes us particularly inclined to race to the nearest gym and get our treadmill on. I mean, seriously. Nestled among hydrangea bushes, the blonde beauty is the picture of all-American goodness.
Non-tacky patriotic fashions >>
Photo credit: WENN
In typical Phoebe Price fashion, the red-tressed actress sure lays it on thick in this Fourth of July picture. Between the bright blue hat, the classic stars-and-stripes bikini and the watermelon, there's no doubt this diva is one U.S.-loving lady.

In case all of the aforementioned celebrities have failed to make you feel patriotic, we're breaking out the big guns. And by big guns, we totally mean Will Ferrell. In a hilarious SNL skit from 2001, Ferrell puts his patriotism on full display in an American flag thong. Bet that image will stay with you for a while.

Home > Newsroom > News Search > Hot Fall Running Colors Will be at the Women's Only
Published on August 26, 2015
This fall's most fashionable runners will wear "Bright Fuchsia," "Heather Fuchsia," "Tropical Blue," and "Haze Yellow." Those are the T-shirt colors for this year's Women's Only 5K Walk & Run. The Oct. 3 event benefits the Mammography Scholarship Fund at Women's Hospital. The fund helps provide screening mammograms for women who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
"Mammography is simply the best tool that we have for finding breast cancer at its earliest stage," says Women's Hospital President Cindy Farrand. "The Women's Only makes it possible for more women to get this lifesaving test. The vibrant colors of our commemorative T-shirts capture the energy of the participants helping women in our community." Breast cancer is the most frequently treated cancer at Cone Health Cancer Center.
The commemorative 23rd anniversary T-shirts are given to the first 3,000 women who register. (Bright Fuchsia for runners, Heather Fuchsia for survivors.) Women can register for the event by going to womensonlyrun.com. Early bird registration for the Oct. 3 event is $30 through Sept. 9. It goes to $40 after that date. Girls' Only Mini-Walk & Run registration is $10. They will receive a Haze Yellow T-shirt. (Tropical Blue shirts are for volunteers.)
Last year, more than 2,500 women took part in the event, raising $110,316. The festivities begin at 8 a.m. with the Girls' Only Mini-Walk and Run for participants 6 years old and younger. There will be dozens of exhibitors, Jazzercise warm-ups and other activities.

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Fox News Channel's Judge Jeanine Pirro that aired Saturday on "Justice."
Trump told Pirro that the Republican National Committee, including chairperson Reince Priebus, has treated him fairly.
"The RNC has treated me fairly," Trump said. "Reince [Priebus] has been very good … Don't forget, he was looking at 18, and probably at the highest point 18 people, and they were governors and they were senators, and not everybody agrees with everything I'm doing."

I Fell for Le Labo's Santal 33 Just Like the Rest of the World and I Don't Care if That Makes Me a Sucker
I mean, even Justin frickin' BEIBER wears it.
There are a lot of products that bring to mind my earliest experiments with beauty. An old pot of Avon's Beauty and the Beast lip gloss transports me back to the early '90s with a twist of a cap.
And Love's Baby Soft, in its slightly phallic-looking pink bottle, is a certifiable powerhouse when it comes to nostalgia.
I had been on the hunt for a new bottle for years. You can find it at Walmart in the U.S., but the shelves here in Canada don't stock it. The same goes for the drugstore chains. I had even searched pharmacies when visiting NYC, hoping the regional change would turn up a bottle of the powdery goodness. Nope.
But then Christmas morning came and I opened a tiny gift box to find a bottle of my little Holy Grail, along with a Love's logo embroidered white teddy bear.
I was overjoyed to finally have my trip down memory lane, but I quickly realized that I wouldn't be using this cologne spray purely for nostalgic purposes. The thing is, it smells really good. Basically anyone who grew up in the '80s and '90s, and perhaps the '70s, too (it has been around since '74), will recognize the scent.
It has a clean, powdery base that's meant to evoke innocence, but it rounds out with more grown-up notes like jasmine, lavender, and a touch of patchouli.
It's a cologne spray, too, which means the initial whiff is a bit heavier than what it dries down to--light, fresh, and floral.
The marketing campaign during Love's first few years was bizarre to say the least. The ads toyed with the idea of innocence as sexy ("I'm Baby Soft" panties, anyone?) with imagery that definitely wouldn't (and shouldn't) fly today. Later on they eventually realized that their target demographic was much younger than what they'd been aiming for with the creepy entendres, and the clean and sweet factor took over. Then they seemingly disappeared altogether.
But Love's Baby Soft is still very much around, and it still smells the way you thought being a grown-up should have when you were 11.
Spritzing yourself with a bit of this incredibly affordable stuff will definitely bring up memories for passersby, but at its core it's simply a very pretty, fresh scent. Since it's so cheap, why not keep a bottle in your gym bag, one in your purse, one at work? For those times you need to be weirdly, innocently sexy.

We must understand what happened here. Native peoples were shot with rubber bullets, tear gas and violence until White veterans arrived. This confirms the analysis that minority rights are not protected in America unless it effects a significant group of Whites. The victory was won and the government violence stopped only when famous Whites arrived. Non White lives still do not matter in America. "The vets, led by Wesley Clark Jr., son of retired general and former presidential candidate Wesley Clark, began arriving in force today to help protest against the controversial crude oil pipeline project in North Dakota.
They are joining the months-long demonstration at a moment of heightened drama: The North Dakota governor has issued an emergency evacuation order for protesters around the site, which follows a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deadline for demonstrators to leave the area by Monday, Dec. 5."

Reese Witherspoon's arrest just pipped Jennifer Lawrence's new haircut to the post as biggest celeb news of the weekend.
She debuted the new 'do at the GLAAD Awards in America wearing a
dress that isn't Dior black David Koma dress.
And everyone loves her new choppy, messy, layered bob. Just one thing, even though she's had it cut it's the exact length necessary for extensions to be put in and no one would ever tell the difference.
I love her for taking a risk and doing something new because she's young and she is a bit crazy, but it's nothing new. If she'd gone Karlie Kloss bob length it may be a different story.
And if there's one person you can't say isn't hot now she has short hair, it's the sexiest woman on the planet Jennifer Lawrence!
And if she wasn't already adorably ditzy, fluffing her lines during her joint speech with Harvey Weinstein when awarding Bill Clinton with the Advocate for Change just made me love her even more… "Gl-ill Bin.. Uh-oh… Of all the lines to get wrong"…

How Do I Choose A Residential Locksmith in Mt Eliza?
In primitive times, there were locksmiths who used to spend days working in their workshops for making locks and keys. Less science and more of an art Locksmithing was always required in past times also. Recently, Locksmithing has become a totally different trade. Today there are professionals who take up the job of the locksmiths. With modern technology in hands, and a lot of creativity in mind, Locks have got a new picture and place in today's consumer hearts.
There are various types of locks available today in the market. The fascinating part is that for almost all types of locks there are special locksmiths. One of the most popular types of locks today for consumers is electronic lock. Hence, we get electronic locksmiths. What exactly is an electronic lock? Well, it is basically a locking devise which works with the assistance of electricity or electric current. These locks are connected with an access system. The main advantage of locks with electronic properties is that they can be connected to the access system is that they can be keyless. If required, changes can be made in the access system and keys can be used too. The best part is that no changes are required in the lock when one shifts from keyless to with keys.
The best part is that no key is used in such types of locks. There are codes and passwords to protect. However, in cases when there is a key in the form of a swipe card or token, it is still safe and secure. The reason is that there is unique software installed in the smart card or token by the electronic locksmith. This software is difficult to be copied. Hence, a duplicate key can not be created for the electronic lock.
People today want the best lock services to ensure that they do not suffer any loss because of theft or robbery. Electronic locks can help them to get a peaceful sleep.

An automotive locksmith may also offer key cutting and professional key coding allowing you to have spare electronic keys for your vehicle, these services typically cost much less than they would if you were to go straight to the vehicle manufacturer.
Emergency Boarding Up
Not all locksmiths offer emergency 24 hour boarding up services due to the fact that 99% of these jobs take do place at night or in the early hours of the morning, those that do may insist on a call out fee because of the anti-social hour on top of the boarding up fee which may depend on the dimensions of the window and the damage. It's very unusual to see a locksmith offering a fixed price boarding up service.
Boarding up is just a short-term measure to protect your home, office or business premises until the next day when your window or door can be appropriately replaced. When sourcing a locksmith or security company for boarding up services it is always best to source someone who is local and independent rather than using a nationwide call centre, this way you can be confident that you are speaking direct to the locksmith and get precise arrival times, after all you don't want to be waiting all night.

We still don't know much about the Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) spinoff — the plot is "shrouded in secrecy," like these things always are — but it seems the "pilot" for the series will actually be a two-hour Grey's Anatomy episode. It will be called "My Favorite Mistake" and will "set up the possibility" of Addison leaving Seattle Grace.
There's no confirmed airdate yet, but the two-hour Kate-fest will constitute episodes 22 and 23 of Grey's 24-episode season. And then we'll just have to wonder about it all summer!

Muchai was assassinated. For parliamentarians to be killed in this way is shocking. It is not important if you agree with a politician, a journalist, anyone. You do not kill them; you argue their points, maybe.
The death of Mr Muchai was reported in the international press. Wikipedia does not have an article. When someone finds it relevant enough they may write an article about him. They may call it "the assassination of George Muchai" At least there is already a Wikidata item for him.

To calculate a commercial loan amortization schedule, draw a four-column table, and label them payment amount, interest paid, principal paid and remaining loan balance, notes the Houston Chronicle. Calculate and insert the appropriate amounts in the respective columns.Continue Reading
A business may take a loan and pay it off over a specified term in equal amounts or installments, according to the Houston Chronicle. The amortization schedule shows the payment breakdown, which includes the principal and interest to be paid. Decide the total number of installments, the term you are to pay back the loan and the interest rate, according to SF Gate. If you don't have the beginning amount to be paid, use the standard formula to calculate it.
To get the interest rate, multiply the original loan amount by the specified interest rate, notes the Houston Chronicle. If the beginning balance is $100 and the interest rate is 10 percent, then the interest to be paid is in the first year is $10. Subtract the interest from the payment value to get the principal. If the amount to be paid per year in the above example is $15, then the principal equals $15 minus $10 to get $5, which is the principal.
To get the first remaining balance, subtract the principal from the original loan amount, notes the Houston Chronicle. For example, $100 minus $5 equals $95, which is the remaining balance and also the opening balance for the succeeding period. Repeat the process until the remaining balance drops to zero.Learn more about Financial Calculations

More Sish boards being built
Bryan Whitby, the accomplished computer chess board hobbyist from the UK sent me photos of his portable Sish unit.
Bryan's wiring always evokes great "wiring envy" from me. Look at how clean that looks!
Bryan has elected to wire his board and connect it to this side portable unit using two Ethernet jacks. Ethernet provides a convenience connection mechanism for chess board interfaces as each jack interfaces 8 wires.
Great work Bryan!
Hopefully I won't stay behind the 8-ball much longer as FedEx promises my hook-up wires should arrive on Friday. I expect I'll setup a nice terminal row like Bryan has done. In fact after looking at his design I'm thinking I have a little bit of work ahead of me tonight.
More pics as I progress.

The above photo ishows the early stages of my portable unit just to test that my Teensy with Matt's excellent new software worked with my sensory USB board.
My portable unit will eventually have a touch screen which will allow me to play on any standard chess board and input my moves using alphabetical and numerical touch keys (e2e4)

From Bryan's posted graphic it looks like Bryan has used the Teensy++ with pins. Can Bryan supply information on what he is plugging the Teensy board into?
Also, on each side of the graphic (toward the top of the graphic) are flatter wiring terminals. What are these flatter terminals being used for?
Yes, Bryan Whitby's wiring does invoke wiring envy. :)

Sure, bryan purchased simple plastic sockets from the Teensy website and wired to those sockets, then connected to the Teensy to the sockets themselves. The flattened wiring terminals take the pressure off the wires coming off the sockets. Since the wire Bryan is using is thin and solid core it's not flexible and needs to be protected from excessive movement.
