It seemed to introduce some sort of multimedia puzzle that combined Morse code, ASCII art and sound files. Speculation has been rife as to what it all means, some saying it is part of a promotion for the next Half Life 2 episode, a sequel to Portal or maybe even a whole new game. In truth nobody knows, but another update occurred today that raises further questions. This time the updated listed the only change as: – Added valuable asset retrieval So far there are no reports as to what this all means, but you can be sure that it won't take long for someone to start figuring it out.

Close the door put out the light,
You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know,
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
They're wearing steel that's bright and true.
They carry news that must get through.
They choose the path where no one goes.
They hold no quarter.
They hold no quarter.
Walking side by side with death,
The devil mocks their every step.
The snow drives back the foot that's slow,
The dogs of doom are howling more.
They carry news that must get through,
To build a dream for me and you.
They choose the path where no one goes.
They hold no quarter.
They ask no quarter.

The St. James Center for Spiritual Formation is bringing back its popular Summer Sounds at St. James series of musical concerts for a fifth year.
Concerts are scheduled at 7 p.m. each Wednesday in July at St. James Episcopal Church, at the corner of Convention and North Fourth streets in downtown Baton Rouge.
Admission is $10; free for college students with a valid ID. Season packages are available for $40, which includes five tickets: attend all five concerts, or one concert with four friends.
A reception follows each concert where the audience can meet the performers, obtain memorabilia and recordings and enjoy the St. James Artists' Guild Summer Exhibition and Sale.
Tickets may be purchased at the door, at stjamesbr.org or by calling (225) 387-5141.

Goal: Students will focus on learning weekly spelling patterns and incorporate them into their writing verses memorizing a weekly list of words that can often be quickly forgotten. Spelling lists will still be sent home to give you examples of words that follow the week's pattern.
Week 1.4
Words that end with -ing and -ed
Sample words: clapping, jumped, walked
Monday-Thursday: Students learn about the spelling pattern and practice.
Thursday: Students are given a 6-word practice test with words that follow the pattern of the week. These words will not be words from the spelling list that was sent home; this will more accurately test if they have learned the skill. If they spell 6/6 correctly, they are done with spelling for the week. Students who get less than 6/6 correct will get retaught the skill and have an opportunity Friday to show they've learned it.
Friday: 12-word test for students who got less than 6/6 correct on Thursday. 6 words will again be mystery words, and the last 6 will be ones from the spelling list.

I've been away for a bit, primarily working on other projects, secondarily working on developing a pipeline of blog material that will be timely/thought provoking/interesting for my dear readers while giving serious thought to the direction that this platform will take over the next few months. So, please pardon my dust.
I had the displeasure of attending an Oscars viewing party yesterday night. While I am typically loathe to partake of such thoroughly dildofied spectacles, the invitation came from a work colleague and I figured that it would be best to take this one on the chin and put in some face time. The 2016 Oscars was more dreadful than I could have even anticipated, highlighting just how disconnected from reality and dour the ((entertainment establishment)) has become. We are currently in an era wherein the entertainer's greatest sin is that of merely wanting to be entertaining. One must make a statement, one must pay lip service to the issue du jour, one must genuflect before the secular deities of tolerance and inclusivity. Chris Rock was brutally unfunny as host, immediately launching into an insulting and frankly abusive monologue about lynchings, racism, and oppressive whiteness. . .before imploring the white Hollywood elites to open the gibsmedat spigot for the considerably less agentic black Hollywood elites Upper echelon rent seeking. It was all quite brain dead.
Rock's main gripe is the gripe of every mediocre actor/entertainer of color in the industry: Hollywood fails to provide sufficient opportunities for non-white (read: black) actors, resulting in an #Oscarssowhite predicament year after year. The remedy for this great injustice is to arbitrarily cast
non-white black actors in a greater number of roles regardless of whether or not the castings make narrative sense. Thus, Hollywood's mandate is not to produce films that are thematically interesting, phenomenally plotted, impeccably acted, or visually sensual. These elements do not a good movie make, according to the envious shills of color. Rather, a film's goodness rests almost solely upon the extent to which its cast is diverse as determined by whatever metric these goons may happen to cook up.
As usual, this is a case of basic people coming to basic conclusions and proposing simplistic fixes due to their inability to think critically or logically. To them, the importance of the Oscars is merely symbolic. They do not view it as an event shaped by other more. . pragmatic. . .consideration$. So, if there are insufficient numbers of black people cast into Oscarworthy roles, it's not because the market is at best agnostic to diversity and at worst doesn't give a fuck about it, it's not because black celluloid offerings are generally vapid, trite, and poorly acted-it's because the Academy is full of old white racists actively discriminating against black people because. . .reasons.
However, this is their mistake: their failure to understand what the Oscars truly are. While the Academy Awards is ostensibly an event aimed at recognizing excellence in film making from a more artistic rather than commercial perspective, the films that are ultimately made must nevertheless scratch that proverbial (commercial) itch. That is to say: the movie made purely for the sake of the art is an increasingly uncommon one and directors and actors are keen to work on and star in movies that not only pique the interest of the Academy, but also appeal to consumers further downstream. Furthermore, producers are not interested in financing films unlikely to yield a significant return. Why else would Inarritu have done his damnedest to snag Leonardo DiCaprio for the lead when Chris Pine or even Idris Elba would have arguably performed just as capably? Because DiCaprio is certified box office platinum. When he's in a movie, he puts asses in seats and puts money in bank accounts. This is far less true of the other two. As the moviegoing public is still predominantly white, it prefers to consume movies starring actors they can recognize and identify with.
Artistically, Stuff Black People Like tends to be pedestrian and one note, with black audiences overwhelmingly responding to features like the Friday series, the Barbershop series, biopics about famous black people, and musical movies (think Dreamgirls) or movies about music (think Straight Outta Compton). Their tastes don't run particularly esoteric or experimental or conceptual (think Jonze's Her or Garland's Ex Machina). While the black movies listed may be somewhat commercially successful (even this is questionable, because the subject matter and the casts mean that these movies' popularity will be limited to largely black audiences), they will for obvious reasons never be lauded by the Academy. The problem here is very sharp. Due to the expressed preferences of both black and white audiences, directors and producers committed to solving Hollywood's "diversity problem" are forced to either sacrifice art for representation (no Oscars) or to sacrifice representation for art (no dollars). You can guess how that tension is frequently resolved. As Leo said in that other movie for which he was unceremoniously robbed: "money talks and bullshit rides the bus."
The artistic and the commercial are inextricably linked, and black themed movies generally fail on both counts. Enough black actors in a movie, and you already know what the movie will be like. These affairs are highly predictable. The problem here is that black audiences don't like the kinds of films that are either artistic enough to merit Academy recognition or broadly appealing enough to merit being made.
Hollywood is pozzed beyond redemption. You'll find no quarrel with me on that point. But, consider the range of subject matter in the films nominated for best picture this year:
- Bridge of Spies (a movie about the Cold War)
- Mad Max: Fury Road (a dystopian action film)
- Revenant (a historical drama about American trappers set in 1823)
- Spotlight (a movie about journalists uncovering sexual abuse in the Catholic Church)
- The Martian (space travel)
- The Big Short (a movie about the root causes of the 2008 financial crisis)
- Room (a movie about a woman kidnapped and held hostage in a room with her son)
- Brooklyn (a movie about an Irish immigrant living in 1950's Brooklyn)
Which, if any of these films would appeal to a black audience? One of Rock's prerecorded sets provides us with an answer: precisely zero. In this segment, when asked if they'd heard of some of the pictures nominated like Bridge of Spies or Trumbo, the black individuals polled expressed bemused confusion. One even went as far as to accuse Rock of making the movie up. The one movie that all of the assorted blacks watched? Straight Outta Compton.
Which serious director wants to toil to film the millionth MLK biopic? Which ambitious actor wants to make a name for himself working in music themed movies and Barbershop spinoffs? All of these BLM "we need more diversity in Hollywood" types fail to recognize the importance of the market in determining what gets produced and what doesn't; who gets cast and who doesn't. The Academy will never be able to review movies not made due to lack of commercial viability. At the end of the day-in a roundabout way-the Oscars are about dollars and cents. Who calls the shots in Hollywood? The same ((ones)) who make the
racist bottom line casting decisions in order to generate the most revenue while skating off scot free and letting white people hold the bag and play defense against a vast horde of ungrateful grievance mongers.

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Britain's financial watchdog is investigating outsourcing company Mitie Group over the "timeliness" of a profit warning last September and the preparation and content of its financial information, the company said on Tuesday.
"The company is fully cooperating with the (Financial Conduct Authority) but does not intend to update the market until completion of the investigation," Mitie said in a brief statement, without giving any further details.
The provider of pest control, cleaning, security and healthcare services had already written down the value of its business after issuing three profit warnings in a year, blaming uncertainty surrounding Brexit and rising costs. (Reporting by Esha Vaish in Bengaluru. Editing by Jane Merriman)

7 Keys to Ignite Your Vocational Passion (article)
Passion is powerful. It can empower us to take risks and achieve our dreams.
At various times many of us wonder, "Is this is all there is" and we question the direction our life is taking. As we learn and grow, it often becomes apparent that what may have been a good fit for many years is no longer appealing.
Vocational Passion Embodies Purpose
Vocational passion is what you are inspired to embody and share with others through your work, whether that work is paid or unpaid. Igniting one's passion often moves a person forward to new beginnings, enhancing their sense of meaning and fulfillment.
7 Ways to Achieve More by Doing Less
Solopreneurs and small business owners are bombarded with many things that demand their attention. Time wasted in busyness reduces time that is available for managing and growing your venture.
Many things steal our time such as emails, the internet and social media. Technology has the potential to make work more efficient. Yet it also guzzles our energy and creates time sinkholes.
It is possible to minimize these sinkholes by being an adept time manager. Time management, when applied to all areas of a business, can yield greater results with less effort and stress.

Seven Keys to Ignite Your Vocational Passion
Increasing sales is not always about doing more marketing. Although marketing products and services is essential to success, passion is another element that is just as important—if not more so.
Entrepreneurs who are passionate about their products or services exude enthusiasm. This enthusiasm acts like a magnet attracting customers who feel good doing business with this type of person.
You have the potential to take your business to another level or in a new direction by tapping into what ignites your passion.
Navigating Cycles: The Ebb and Flow of Sales
Cycles are a normal part of nature, such as spring and winter, full moons and new moons and high tides and low tides. Similar to the cycles in nature, businesses also have cycles.
Ebbs and flows are a normal part of the business landscape. Fluctuations may occur from year to year or within a year. Your enterprise may have a steady increase in sales, then plateau or decline. It is easy to panic or stress out when this happens. Yet it may just be a pause before the next upward movement.
10 Things to do When Your Venture is in an Ebb Time
Are You at Risk for Fraudulent Credit Card Purchases?
Entrepreneurs know that being paid for their products and services—in a timely manner—is essential to be successful.
Many types of enterprises accept credit and debit cards. Funds are usually deposited to a bank account within a few days.
Awareness of the new rules can help assure you are paid for all that you sell.

"M. Mariz is a young writer with a delightful and unique narrative style. Her first book, The Chosen of Gaia, is a prime example – full of adventure, with a young soul and simply amazing. You just can't stop reading." – MARCELO GALVÃO, screenwriter, producer, filmmaker, and CEO of Gatacine. He has five award-winning feature films in his filmography, highlighting film festivals in London, New York, Cannes, Lisbon, Paris, and Brazil.
"It's hard to find a storyteller who combines humor with so much else. It's the perfect balance of interesting characters and enticing plots that makes you wonder, imagine and feel yourself as one of the characters." – ANSELMO MARTINI, producer. As the CEO and President of Monarca Group he is currently producing feature films, reality TV and TV series.
"I really enjoyed many aspects of this book with the information on Atlantis being a neat addition. The pacing of t his book was pretty good with twists coming at the appropriate times to spark another level of interest. The technology exhibited by the Gaians was great and had some very intriguing applications, especially the variety of changes the houses were capable of affecting.There is a little something for everyone in this book. There is crime to solve, futuristic technology, young love, sports, action, intrigue, thrills, conspiracies, and more. If you pick up a copy of the book for yourself or your child (I'd guess middle school and above) you won't regret it." – SCOTT POE, reviewer, Indie Book Blogger.
"Perfect blend of fantasy, mystery, and a touch of sci-fi. The main characters are very likable and you find yourself wishing you were as lucky as them and becoming a chosen one who get's to move to Gaia and experience all this amazing advanced technology. Young adults are sure to love this book! I would also love to see this book made into a movie!" – JAIME SMITH, Librarian.
"The Chosen of Gaia raises questions about the nature and hearts of the human race. Through only one person a civilization can thrive or decay, all depending on what's in their hearts and minds. I really liked this story and the characters the live within it. I would love to see more from this world." – CHRISTINA MADISON, Zodiac Book Reviews.
"This was an adorable, charming story that mixes the perfect amount of fantastical science fiction that is unlike any of us have ever experienced, with the inner struggles and emotional journeys that everyone experiences in life. I loved the story, right from the first page. Mariz takes readers on a ride through family values, solid science, love on many levels, loyalty, and even touches on the importance of dreams. The journey all begins with a dream called a Revelation. I have a Revelation: We will be seeing much more from this author. I can't wait to read the next thing she writes, myself. And I wouldn't be too surprised to see this book turned into a movie…it would be a blockbuster." – SABRINA JAMES RILEY, Author of the novels The Loki Variation and Wesley.
"The Chosen of Gaia is the perfect choice for light reading and entertainment. The very opening of the novel presents to this normal family a life-altering decision that changes their perspective of themselves and the worlds around them. Within this story, Mariz doesn't let everything proceed smoothly. The characters face opposition and uncertainty. The Chosen of Gaia is truly a story that readers of any age can enjoy because of the lessons both the parents and children learn. Albert and Ruth's journey is the most impressive because they come to blossom on Gaia, especially when their peaceful stay on the small, green planet turns violent. The Chosen of Gaia has light elements of mystery and science-fiction. M. Mariz's debut young adult novel comes highly recommended." CANDACE HAWKINS, reviewer, Lovey Dovey Books.
"The Chosen of Gaia is a perfect example of fantasy blended with mystery. Albert and his family were wonderful to follow in this story. It's not hard to choose favorites since Albert and Ruth, the two children in the family, were so vivid and unique. In case you're worried that this book is all sunshine and roses though, let me set you straight. Albert and his family definitely run into their fair share of problems. When something happens that rocks the small planet of Gaia, it just so happens that they are all in the middle of it. It was nice to see that this family banded together when it was necessary. It's never easy to be the new people in town, and it definitely gets even harder when you find out that people already dislike you before they even know you. The story pretty much flies by, allowing you to get to see a new world that might just take your breath away. Overall I was fairly impressed by M. Mariz's story! I can't wait to see if there is more coming around the bend." JESSICA TORRES, reviewer, Hopeless Bibliophile.
"You can quickly tell that the author of this book is an actress because I found myself visualizing the movie of this book from the first chapter. Getting teens to read science fiction and fantasy these days is about as difficult as getting a politician to accept campaign donations, which is to say that "it ain't hard." This story stands out, as girls and boys also appreciate the humor of the characters." DANNY BRASSELL, reviewer, The Lazy Readers' Book Club.
When I embarked in this parallel universe journey, I found myself lifting a lot of psychological and sociological questions with sometimes instant answers but sometimes left to contemplate. I immediately became so hooked to the story that every time I had to take a break such as dinner with my family, I couldn't wait to go back on. The words written in this smart plot landed so soft in my brain while the specific details made me never forget what I want for me. Not to mention the particularity of the futuristic setting, amazing characters, the courage of the youth, the fragility of the grown ups, and above all, the intense bonds within an ordinary American family who really believe in each other enough to risk and sacrifice their own lives in an emergent situation for one another. I would recommend this brilliant book not only to teenagers, but to everyone who wish to read an intellectual (but smooth to read book) novel with impact innovations in technology. – CLAUDIA DAMASCENO, producer, filmmaker and CEO at Duna Productions.

The User Account Control security feature has been changed quite a bit in Windows 7 to make it "less annoying" than it was in Windows Vista. Many users were that annoyed by the UAC in Windows Vista that they completely disabled that feature effectively eliminating the security benefits but getting rid of the annoyance.
Windows 7 has changed the User Account Control function quite a bit. UAC can now distinguish between third party software access and access from the Windows system. Windows 7 distinguishes between third party and system applications by checking for security certificates. If the process or application has a specific certificate it will not cause an UAC prompt to show up when the user or a process is changing system settings.
Several websites (IStartedSomething) mentioned a problem with the way UAC was implemented by default in Windows 7. It basically came down to the possibility to turn off UAC completely without user interaction. Long Zheng posted a proof of concept script on the website which turns off UAC in Windows 7 by running a series of keyboard shortcuts that are invisible to the user.
The problem here is that Windows 7 identifies changes to the User Account Control as a certified process which by design does not display an UAC prompt. This means it is possible to change the User Account Control level without user interaction including the possibility to completely disable UAC.

This collection is made up of several different groups of film and videotapes which have been coming to the Media Archives since 1995. As with many collections, not everything produced by the Georgia Center is in the Media Archives, but we hold a broad representation of their material.
The Georgia Center opened in 1957 with funding from a 1953 W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant and from the State of Georgia. In 1960, Georgia's first educational television station, WGTV, went on the air from the Georgia Center. It had connections to National Educational Television (NET) and produced some programs for NET such as the 12-part filmed series, Basic Issues of Man (1962). The Georgia Center also produced its own material and taped various programs, symposia, and teleconferences held on site.
The media formats being created at WGTV and the Georgia Center include not only 16mm film but videotapes in these formats: 2", 1", 3/4", 1/2", BetaSP, DigiBeta, and D2.
The earliest known 2" videotape of a Georgia Center production that we hold was donated to us by Patrick Shields, A Day with Jimmie Driftwood which we believe dates to the early 1960s. In 2004, we received the bulk of the Georgia Center's taped programs consisting of tapes of educational programs on campus, continuing education programs, and original productions including The Great Georgians series and Down Yonder.

Scope of Speculative Fiction
Speculative Fiction (SciFi/Fantasy) has often taken the possible and impossible to explore new worlds or our world in alternate times or histories. Within that larger genre are many subgenres. Amy Goldschlager (Avon/EOS) provided an explanation of several of the different subgenres in 1997. You can read her listing here.
In the years that have passed, some genres have brightened and others dimmed. Particularly paranormal mysteries have taken off with books like Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series. Steampunk was a genre long before it was a fashion statement – H.G Wells and Jules Verne anyone? Of late, I've been stretching out of my epic fantasy trend (who doesn't enjoy a good 1083 page Tad Williams third book in a trilogy now and then?) to reach into the Steampunk subgenre. A great start is the Extraordinary Engines anthology. The short stories show the variety of Steampunk, from great steam-propelled boxers to airships.

A Chinese mum-of-two disfigured by horrific tumours growing on her face has been told by doctors she will make a full recovery from her condition after the government said it would foot the bill for her surgery.
Li Hongfang, 40, has been shunned in public after a rare type of bone cancer caused tissue to grow under her facial skin, distorting her features beyond recognition.
Hongfang - a mother-of-two - has endured the condition, known as Chordoma, for more than a decade because she has no money to pay for surgery which is only available in China at a price.
Now officials at Qianxian People's Hospital, near Xi'an in western China's Shaanxi province, say they have been ordered to spare no expense after her case became a 'source of shame' for the country's ailing health service.
Medical director Xue Gang said: "Our superiors told us specially that we should cure Li Hongfang's illness at all costs."
Local government officials have pledged to meet all costs for her surgery and ongoing radiotherapy to make sure the tumours stay gone.
Spokesman Si Dangku confirmed: "We will pay and if we run out of funds, the regional government will pay."
Surgeon Pan Lin - from Xijing Hospital, where Hongfang is preparing for her operation - said she will look completely normal after the surgery.
"The condition is rare but the tumours are benign so her life is not in danger.
"After the tumours have been removed we will provide some cosmetic surgery and she will end up a beauty again," he added.
Hongfang is now undergoing a series of pre-op tests before the surgery can begin.
But she said: "I am so grateful to the people who made this happen."
"I just want to look normal again, like I feel inside. I'm not a monster and I don't want to look like one," she added.
Hongfang had originally thought that the first swelling on her face was in infected insect bite.
"It didn't even itch or ache in any way – but it also didn't go away and in fact just got bigger and bigger," she said.

Müller has confirmed a reduction in its standard milk price of 1.35ppl from 1 April 2016, against a backdrop of unprecedented levels of farm milk production forecast for spring, coupled with weak market demand.
Lyndsay Chapman, Agriculture Director of Müller Milk & Ingredients said: "In the current environment where the supply of milk from farms is substantially out of line with demand there are no winners in the dairy supply chain. Market returns are depressed and milk production forecasts for April suggest the months ahead are going to be very challenging for us all.
"We remain focused about the future and are investing heavily in the processing sector to innovate and add value to milk and to make our supply chain competitive. However, supply and demand is a major determinant of milk price and at the moment there is a significant imbalance which is having a severe effect on the value of farm gate milk.
"Our commitment is to maintain a fair and market related milk price and honour our contract terms but we need the market to be more balanced, to generate better returns for dairy farmers."
As well as Muller, First Milk and Arla have also announced cuts, with Arla giving its direct suppliers 12 months' notice on their contract as they are struggling to find a market for this milk.
Following the announcement, National Farmers Union (NFU) dairy board chairman Rob Harrison says the next few months will be extremely tough and that everyone must pull together for the sake of the future of the industry.
Mr Harrison commented: "I won't lie – it's really difficult out there for many dairy farmers and I honestly don't see the situation changing in the short-term. The market remains extremely tough and buyers are concerned with the impact of the forthcoming Spring Flush. But AHDB Dairy figures show daily deliveries are coming back in line with February 2015 levels.
"To help manage supply and demand at processor level we've seen Dairy Crest, working alongside their farmer group Dairy Crest Direct, bring in a new production balancing scheme. We need more milk buyers to show responsibility in trying to match supply and demand – and this needs to be done alongside farmer suppliers.
"We desperately need help from the government and the EU who must both do more to ensure a sustainable future for the dairy sector and help make tools available for farmers to manage volatility."
In response to the cuts, the NFU is calling for the following actions:
The European Investment Bank (EIB) to speed up its work to refinance farm borrowings
The European Institutions to take steps to alleviate the problems farmers are facing in the wake of the Russian ban
The dairy intervention price thresholds to be reviewed.
Fertiliser import tariffs to be removed to boost competition in the European fertiliser sector
The RPA to speed up BPS payments and ensure that this is not a problem in future years.
Improvements to the labelling of dairy products to ensure consumers are buying British
Government agencies doing more to support the public procurement of British food

Sounds reasonable to me. To those saying "don't cache" or "do a HEAD request first", I would point out that there is still a race window when conflicts can be introduced into the database (*). Therefore IMO it's better to handle conflicts properly in the first place, and then you gain the ability to do "disconnected" caching for free. Regards, Brian. (*) If the writers are writing to different backends which replicate to each other, then you'll get conflicts. If the writers are writing to the same database using "all_or_nothing":true then you'll get conflicts. If the writers are writing to the same database using PUT then the second update will be rejected entirely with a 409 error. See: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Replication_and_conflicts

SMK Simpang Rengam held a grand Nationwide Day celebration on thirty first August this year at Kluang Stadium. At the present time offers the people from different walks of life the prospect to assemble in one place, strengthen their personal relations, develop inclination towards sports and consolidate their social and friendly ties. It's price mentioning that the 2017 Bahrain Sports Day might be organized in compliance to the GCC National Olympic Committees Presidents' choice to have a single day of sports and entertaining activities in all around the Gulf and is open to each residents and expatriates of all ages.
The shamrock is a symbol of Eire and it is vitally frequent to represent St. Patrick's Day. Stopping by on Nationwide Hug Day to give you HUGs, blessings, and a bit ' sunshine! They are real, some are regional, some are national and some are worldwide. Right here in the US we now have a Lady's Day journal and I believed their quotes had been what you had been going to make use of.
LOL Should you ever do get to this facet of the pond, Europe has many National Parks worthy of a an eye out of a forthcoming hub of mine on one such should see. From 1947 to 1963, the Oklahoma Sooners soccer team won one hundred forty five games, three nationwide championships, and an NCAA Division I record 47 consecutive video games. Throughout Canada, the number of people covering sports within the mainstream media in Canada outside of the NHL beat can be usually much less in September of this year than it was in September of 2016.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said sports activities is a unifying platform which fosters a spirit of togetherness. Like yearly, Qatari authorities are encouraging residents to get out of their houses and get entangled within the many sports activities activites taking place around the nation. Due to the cuts across the sports activities media in Canada, coverage of WHL is way lower than it was five to eight years in the past in mainstream retailers.
I wish Grandparents Day had been around when my grandfather was alive; I might have loved to honor him for all he did for me. I suppose my love and respect for him bore fruit in one other method, though, after I founded an organization to match senior residents with homeless youngsters in youngster care settings. In skilled sports activities with media, advertising and communication departments, liaise with the specialists to determine strategies to utilise social media for wider public well being benefits and to minimise risks of misinterpretation/misrepresentation.

ImClone appoints former J&J exec as CEO
ImClone Systems said Thursday that former Johnson & Johnson executive John Johnson will take over as CEO effective Aug. 27.
Johnson most recently served as group chairman of J&J's worldwide biopharmaceuticals unit and has held various senior management positions at J&J.
ImClone had previously been run by a committee created when investor Carl Icahn took over the company and ousted its top officials 10 months ago.
Johnson has a challenging job ahead as ImClone looks to expand its pipeline and the market for its only product Erbitux, currently approved for use to treat cancers of the head and neck and colorectal cancers.
ImClone and marketing partner Bristol Myers-Squibb had hoped to win approval for Erbitux as a lung cancer treatment however a recent late-stage study of the drug in lung-cancer patients didn't meet the primary endpoint of progression-free survival.

The TU-22M of the Russian Air force is a force multiplierRate this title
The Backfire is a variable geometry bomber that is the backbone of the Russian strategic bomber fleet.
The Russian strategic bomber fleet always received top priority right from the days of Josef Stalin. The Russian dictator had specifically ordered Andre Tupolev to design a long-range strategic bomber that could strike deep into the US and its allies. Stalin died in 1953, but Tupolev brought out the TU-22 which was given the code name Backfire. The plane first flew in 1969.
The Backfire
The TU-22 has many versions and the latest strategic version is the TU-22M. It has a top speed of 2,300 km/hr and a range of over 5000 km. It is a variable geometry aircraft with retractable wings. In terms of endurance and range, it does not compare with the Bear (TU-95) but it's more lethal with a speed that is more than twice the speed of sound.
The plane is ideally suited for a nuclear attack as well as a conventional bombing mission. It has a host of ECM on board that gives the bomber a protective shield against missiles.
The aircraft for long was the number one strike bomber, but now the TU-160 is getting pride of place. The TU-22 is a versatile bomber and intended for operations in Europe and Asia. It has nuclear capability and is capable of strategic missions against the United States. However, to strike deep into America, the Backfire would need to be refueled.
During the Strategic Arms Limitation talks (SALT II), the plane was a subject of hot debate. The US negotiating team could get a commitment from the Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev that the Backfire would not be upgraded for refueling capability. The US think tank considered the Backfire a lethal offensive aircraft.
In real terms, it is a force multiplier.
Nearly 6 versions of the Backfire have been produced in Russia. It is an inherently safe aircraft and very few crashes have been reported in almost 50 years of its operations. The aircraft is a tribute to Russian technology. The Indians were keen to operate it, but no deal as yet is worked out. Apart from the US, no other country in the world has produced a bomber even remotely equal to this.
The TU-22M has been used for strategic and tactical bombing in Syria with deadly effect. Seeing its versatility the Russian Air Force plans to use it till 2040.

This Slash Alnico II Pro Set pickup, Zebra, is a warm, moderate output humbucker, and is recommended for jazz, blues, and classic rock.
Get that Characteristic Slash Tone
This APH has the usual Alnico 2 magnet of the standard APH-1, but this Slash model in particular is wound with just enough boosted output to push a stock Les Paul toward the sweet sustain and great crunch that gives that characteristic Slash sound. Furthermore, the Alnico II Pro set boasts same appointments as done on the Seymour Duncan pickups in Slash's '86 recording axe. This includes the single-conductor cable, long-legged bottom plate, and wooden spacer. If you want to capture Slash's recorded tone or are just a fan, this pickup works wonders. This same pickup can be found in the newest Gibson® Slash model Les Paul.
Recommended for Well-Balanced Humbucker-Equipped Guitars
While Slash Alnico II Pro Set is designed for a Les Paul, this pickup works well in any well-balanced humbucker-equipped guitar. It also works well with hollow and semi-hollow body guitars.

About two years ago I wrote about how the "monsters" of Halloween give people a way to explore their own shadows. I've also written several times about various forms of demonization and dehumanization: how some people with power chip away at other people's humanity by rendering them malevolent and monstrous.
But there are other ways to become monstrous than masked play and projection. Cultural invisibility is one of them. Though I had a nourishing community around me during my first two decades, I experienced cultural invisibility and later had to actively counter it for my own health.
Writer Junot Diaz once shared how not seeing people like him in literature or mass media affected how he saw himself:
'You guys know about vampires?' Diaz asked. 'You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There's this idea that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. And what I've always thought isn't that monsters don't have reflections in a mirror. It's that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves. And growing up, I felt like a monster in some ways. I didn't see myself reflected at all. I was like, 'Yo, is something wrong with me? That the whole society seems to think that people like me don't exist?' And part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might seem themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it."
It can feel good to open up a news magazine and see your people there. But if that representation is based on malicious stereotypes, it can do more damage than good.
Riz Ahmed is a British Asian actor who has traversed the Atlantic for work for about a decade. In that time, he's discovered that being part of a hyper-visible demographic in post-9/11 UK and US border control processing rooms and auditions means that "you are a type, whose face says things before your mouth opens; you are a signifier before you are a person; you are back at stage one." Ahmed nevertheless hopes that his art can change how the security state perceives him and others like him.
According to Cherrie Moraga, visibility is "the most effective strategy to quell the rising tide of discrimination." Social activists from 19th Century abolitionists to the contemporary disability justice movement have used it as an effective, humanizing strategy.
People seem to need to know Others' stories before they'll grant them "neighbor" status and offer compassionate care or impartial service. I used to imagine that being invisible could be a superpower, but it turns out it's more of an Achilles' heel. Poor representation costs minoritized people dearly, and that's why good stories told well matter so much, especially for people who rarely see the social spotlight.
Read Ahmed's reflection in the London Guardian. It's well worth the read.

Ciao lovelies!,
I'm trying to do well at consistently blogging lately. I did a bunch of those wedding series posts, a few food/recipe ones, and now I'm getting to some outfits/fashion posts. I still have tons more posts planned for the next few months, so don't forget to follow me. I am also trying to change a few things here and there on my blog. I added category tabs above, so in case you want to see just a certain topic you can click on those. I have a few other things I plan on doing as well, including a new header picture and an about me/the blog page. Any other suggestions on how to better this blog?? Comment and let me know if you have suggestions!
I'm writing this post on summer outfits in the middle of a giant blizzard…ha! I really am going to try to get up to date with my posts, but it's going to take a or of work and some time. Keep checking back for new posts! Follow the blog on the right through email or Google + or whatever you choose.
1. Peplum & Polka-Dots!
This was a casual and cute outfit. The skirt is something I could wear more formally to work, but the tank top, flip flops, and tie the polka dot blouse make it more casual.
Tank top: DEB, Blouse: Marshall's, Skirt: Target, Flip-flops & Earrings: Forever 21, Bracelet: gift
2. Basic Black Maxi Dress Again
I wore this a bunch of times (maybe 5-6…which is a crazy amount for me to wear a dress in one season) this past summer. It's very comfy and easy to just throw on and add accessories to make sure you're not wearing the same exact outfit each time.
Dress: Forever 21, Belt: Dots, Sandals: Kohl's
3. Floral Cowgirl
Dress: Ross, Tank top & Earrings: Forever 21, Boots: Avenue
4. Pastel Purple Goddess
Dress & Earrings: Forever 21, Necklace: Flea Market in Italy, Belt: Store downtown?, Sandals: Kohl's
5. All that Glitters…is Gold!
I hardly ever wore shorts outside my house when I was heavier. They're still not my favorite thing to wear, but I did wear a few pairs this past summer. I like the way these cute black ones with gold details look on me. Hopefully, as I'm losing more weight I'll be more comfortable wearing shorts more often in the summer.
Shorts: Marshall's, Tank top: DEB, Wedges: Avenue, Bracelet/Ring: Amazon, Earrings: Forever 21
That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed! Which outfit did you like best? Comment below!!

Chelsea are set to step up their interest in William Carvalho, but will have to fight off Manchester United interest in a player that could cost them as much as £30million.
According to the Sunday People, Jose Mourinho has made his mind up about the 22-year-old and is preparing a bid to take Carvalho to Stamford Bridge. However, any pursuit will be of great interest to those at Old Trafford as the report claims he is a long-time target of the Red Devils.
Transfer tussle imminent?
Manchester United's new manager Louis van Gaal has a decision to make with regards to defensive midfield once he takes over after finishing his duties as Netherlands manager at the World Cup. The Old Trafford club have been criticised for a lack of bit in front of the back four and an addition in that area is expected.
- Man Utd chasing Dutch duo
- Chelsea take blow in pursuit of £35m striker
Carvalho is a strong defensive midfielder and would provide more of a physical presence in midfielder, compared to what is already in the squad. Manchester United would not have to worry about losing any creativity either, as the Sporting Lisbon star has good passing ability.
Mourinho wants signings
Although their Premier League rivals have a long standing interest, it is Chelsea who the report claims are the ones ready to make the first move. It may need some negotiating, however, as the £11million sum mooted in the report is some way short of the £30million it claims Sporting want.
Nemanja Matic was signed in January to patrol the area in front of the Chelsea back four, and did so to great effect, so the bid for Carvalho may surprise some. Mourinho may need another player of that style this summer though, as the future of John Obi Mikel at Stamford Bridge has been called into question.
The Blues have also released club legend Frank Lampard, but the subsequent signing of Cesc Fabregas was believed to be the addressing of that issue. Meanwhile, Manchester United have been linked with a move for Nigel de Jong, who would be a more experienced option than Carvalho.

UNION COUNTY—Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority officials have spent thousands of dollars on parties while rates are rising steeply and citizens are losing their jobs and homes, according to Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce.
DeCroce released documents that show commissioners of the Rahway-based authority spent $4,198 for a holiday dinner at the Echo Lakes Country Club attended by 35 people and another $497 on 13 people at Ferraro's in March.
"If a sewerage authority has money to burn on holiday parties held at an exclusive country club featuring Rock Lobster Tails, Lamb Lollies and Filet Mignon, then its rates are too high," DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic, said. "The spending at this agency is yet another outrageous insult to hard-working families who struggle with the nation's worst tax burden that is aggravated by public officials who do not respect the public's dollars whether they come from taxes or sewer rates."
A detailed list showing questionable expenditures by the Authority and other public agencies such as the Atlantic City Visitors and Convention and New Jersey Sports and Exposition authorities, which has been uncovered by Assembly Republicans under DeCroce's direction is available at www.njassemblyrepublicans.com.
Some of the findings include:
• $4,198 for the commissioners' 2008 holiday dinner at the exclusive Echo Lakes Country Club, the "Hidden Gem of New Jersey Golf." It included valet parking for all ($4 a person), a $450 disc jockey (who only accepts cash), Hors D'ouevres including Lamb Lollies, Tenderloin on Tuscan Toast and Shrimp on Sugar Cane Skewer, and entrees of Filet Mignon, Veal Marsala and Rock Lobster Tails washed down with $1,018 worth of beverages.
• $497 to celebrate one commissioner's retirement at Ferraro's with 13 people in March 2009. Bill included fresh fruit platters and nearly $150 worth of alcoholic drinks including Grey Goose, wine and a Bloody Mary with Ketel One.
• $1,812 for six employees to take the Acela Express business class to Washington DC in March 2005. There is no justification provided for why they did not choose a less expensive mode of transportation.
• The Weiner Lesniak law firm, of which Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) is a member, has represented the authority. Four randomly-selected vouchers show monthly bills ranging from $2,259 to $27,696.
DeCroce said the examples uncovered at the sewerage authority give more credence to an Assembly Republican initiative to combine the state's duplicative auditing agencies, whose exposure of waste in government has often been ignored, into one Office of Auditor General, an independent elected position that would have the ability to recoup taxpayer dollars improperly spent and punish those responsible.
"Our existing auditing agencies are either beholden to those who appoint them or do not have the power to enact reform or justice for taxpayers when they unearth wasteful, fraudulent or abuse spending of public dollars," DeCroce said. "We must give the public a powerful ally with the will to stand up for them against misuse of public dollars."
