Biafran & Gay Activist Faces Deportation From UK Today, June 7, 2012
-Masterweb Reports (Submission By Mark Clint)
Biafran Activist and a Gay Joshua Odeke is Billed for forced deportation today, 7th June, 2012 (Home Office Ref O1151115)
Joshua Odeke (a Biafran activist and a gay) who is due to be forcibly removed to Nigeria on charter flight PVT090 on 7th June 2012.
Joshua fled Nigeria due to his political activities there, namely his involvement with the non-violent Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), which campaigns openly for Igbo tribe freedom and an independent state. Joshua is deeply worried about returning to Nigeria because both his father and brother were killed by authorities because of their involvement with MASSOB.
The Nigerian State is strongly opposed to MASSOB; since its formation in 1999, members of its supporters have been arrested and detained for months, and suffered ill-treatment whilst in police custody. Despite their commitment to peaceful protest, the police regularly fire tear gas and live ammunition at MASSOB rallies and demonstrations, and Human Rights Watch has reported incidents of members being killed by police, with women included amongst the victims. Just last month of May 2012, a number of MASSOB members were jailed for wearing Biafran T-shirts and others were killed in another incident this year. The links to these evidences are seen below:
http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/05/09/six-massob-members-jailed-in-asaba-for-wearing-massob-uniform/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=six-massob-members-jailed-in-asaba-for-wearing-massob-uniform and http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/02/11/blood-bath-troup-kills-2-massob-members-apprehends-58-others/
In addition, since being detained Joshua has admitted that he is bisexual. As a bisexual or gay man Joshua is in real danger if he is returned to Nigeria, where the criminal code punishes consensual gay sex with up to 14 years in prison. Moreover, in Muslim states applying Sharia law, homosexual sex among men is punishable by death by stoning.
If returned to Nigeria, Joshua would be faced with a terrifying choice: to risk persecution by the Nigerian Security Forces,jailed or tortured if not killed.The Nigerian government has officially enshrined in her constitution a jail term of 14 years imprisonment and it is worst in the 12 Northern states that have officially enshrined sharia law where same sex relationship is punishable stoning to death or death by stoning.This inevitably has made internal relocation to anywhere in Nigeria impossible as there is no protection for Joshua.
What You Can Do To Help
Please, help stop this planned forced removal of Joshua Odeke to Nigeria by writing the Secretary of State for Home Department (SSHD), Theresa May to cancel his removal directions and allow Joshua to return to safety in Glasgow. If you do, please remember to quote Joshua's Home Office Ref: O1151115.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf is meeting Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States, in Washington on Friday to discuss a tax-evasion probe into Swiss banks by U.S. authorities, a ministry spokesman said.
Contacted by phone, the spokesman said Widmer-Schlumpf would push for "fair and equal treatment" of the Swiss banks involved in the probe.
Credit Suisse, the biggest Swiss bank in the probe, came under more pressure this week as one of its former employees pleaded guilty to helping U.S. clients avoid taxes.
"The United States Department of Justice's investigation into the U.S. tax matter remains outstanding and, while we are working hard to bring this to a close, the timing and outcome remain uncertain," Credit Suisse said in its quarterly report published on Friday.
The bank declined to comment further on the minister's talks.
More than a dozen Swiss banks, also including Julius Baer and the Swiss arm of Britain's HSBC, are under criminal investigation in the United States to determine if and how they helped wealthy Americans hide money from the taxman.
Scores of smaller banks have agreed to work with U.S. authorities to cap penalties they might face.

News releases concerning Tulane Law School, its faculty, staff, students, and programs are posted here. For more information, please send an email to email@example.com.
December 12, 2006
Times Picayune—Saturday, the Times Picayune reported what seems to be the hot topic right now: hundreds of law students, as well as lawyers, in New Orleans to breathe life back into its crippled defense system.
The Katrina-Gideon Project (as it's dubbed) began training this week, preparing participants with the tools they will need to conduct in-depth interviews with clients of the New Orleans public defenders office. Requiring an "unprecedented" amount of cooperation among the various components of the criminal justice system, these interviews will provide lawyers with the informational foundation needed for potential defenses, such as identifying possible witnesses and evidence. Further, their assistance will hopefully speed the entire process along.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan labels the process, "a fundamental fairness," stating it is the one thing in which everyone involved agrees. With an estimated 2,000 pre-Katrina cases remaining on the dockets at Criminal District Court, and approximately 400 in jail for incidents before the storm, few disagree that New Orleans may remain a hot topic and become the new hot destination for students this Spring break.

New releases from Nichol Vineyard
Ross Hackworth (above) had been drinking the wines from Nichol Vineyard & Estate Winery for a number of years before he bought the winery four years ago from founders Alex and Kathleen Nichol.
"I knew that the wines he [Alex] had made for years fit my sensibilities, because the wines were always soft, always approachable, always food-friendly," Ross told me last year. "That's what I like in wine."
The most recent releases from Nichol indicate that Ross has not deviated from the fundamental Nichol style although, arguably, the wines have an added degree of refinement. As well, Ross has dropped some of the niche wines that Alex used to make while adding a quite interesting Gewurztraminer to the portfolio.
The Nichols opened the winery in 1993 after converting a former Naramata orchard into a vineyard. They planted the first Syrah in the Okanagan. The legendary Syrahs that Alex made undoubtedly inspired others to plant what has become one of the Okanagan's important red varieties.
By coincidence, Ross grew up on a Naramata orchard that his parents bought in 1973. As the Nichols were planting their vineyard, Ross, who was trained for business, began a sales executive in Vancouver with a major pulp and paper company. He liked the career but eventually tired to travelling two to three weeks each month.
In 1999, Ross spent weekends helping a friend restore the heritage hotel in Naramata. In the process, he reconnected with his roots and bought a home in Naramata. He had just begun looking for his own vineyard when he learned that the Nichols were getting ready to retire. The purchase agreement provided for Alex to mentor Ross for a vintage or two. Ross was an apt student, for the quality of Nichol wines has not missed a beat.
The one visible change at Nichol under the new owner was a major expansion of the winery in 2007. Frugal and tight for funds, Alex laboured in cramped quarters to make between 700 cases and 1,200 cases each year. Ross is targetting an annual production of 3,500 but he built a winery big enough to make 10,000 cases a year. The reason? He figured out that it is easier to make good wine if the working space is efficient and comfortable.
Gewurztraminer joined the portfolio after he contracted grapes from a neighbouring vineyard that happened to have that variety. Lovers of this wine will welcome this addition to the Nichol selection.
Here are notes on current releases.
Gewurztraminer 2008 ($17). This intense, focused wine is a Riesling lover's Gewurz, emphasizing fruit, not spice. It begins with appealing aromas of citrus, lychee and rose petals. On the palate, there are flavours of grapefruit with a backbone of minerals and tangy acidity. The finish is dry and lingering. 90
Cabernet Franc 2006 ($27). Something about this vivacious red, its exotic personality perhaps, reminded me of some great Carmens I have heard. The wine begins with aromas of red berries, vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, there is a vivid core of cherry and mocha flavours. The tannins are ripe but firm enough to give this wine good life in the cellar. 88
Pinot Noir 2006 ($27). At three years of age, this wine is still evolving towards its peak. The colour is a fine dark ruby. It has aromas of cherries and raspberry, leading to flavours of raspberry and spice, subtly supported by oak. The wine also shows that Burgundian earthiness so prized in Burgundy Pinot Noirs. Firm when first poured, this wine develops the classic silken texture of Pinot Noir with time in the decanter. 89
Syrah 2006 ($30). Satisfyingly robust, this dark-hued wine announces itself boldly with gamey aromas of plum and deli spices. On the palate, there are flavours of plum, blackberry and pepper. As the ripe tannins soften in the glass, the wine reveals a plush core of plum and black cherry flavours that almost explode on the palate. The finish is long, very long. 90

What factors are important for your dishwasher?
One of the most common kitchen accessories is also one of the most innovative items. Dishwashers have quietly become technologically advanced, and quietly is the key word as the muted volume of dishwashers while they are in progress is one of the key technological advances of newer models. You can purchase it in a bar supplies, too. The volume of your dishwasher is measured in decibels and any dishwasher that is under 50 db is considered to be a high quality model as lower volumes are not considered to be a disturbance for a home owner. Volume of a dishwasher is considered to be one of the primary factors that differentiates different models and something that buyers should pay attention to when buying one.
The interior temperature of a dishwasher can vary significantly from one model to the next and one of the primary differences between models is the material that the dishwasher is made from. Models that have stainless steel interiors can use hotter temperature water that can lead to cleaner dishes than models with plastic interiors can, which is a significant advantage. Since stainless steel is more expensive expect to pay up for this feature, but as dishwashers with stainless steel interior typically have a significantly longer life, the benefit of an model with a stainless steel interior will typically more than pay for itself.
Top control dishwasher models have become quite popular over the years and this is something that is important to many buyers, particularly those who have small children in the house. Children love to push whatever button that they see and having a top loading dishwasher will limit their access to the controls, unlike models that have the controls right on the front of the model. In addition, many enjoy the aesthetic beauty of these units as well.
Older dishwasher models had an interior that was pretty much one size fits all. That is no longer the case in newer models as users can shift the interiors up or down in order to accommodate large pots and pans or unconventional setups. Many models even have the ability to stack the silverware outside of the case of the dishwasher which can lead to additional space inside for more dishes. The added versatility is a big advantage in this essential piece of kitchen equipment.
A dishwasher is often an overlooked component of a kitchen, but one that is both functional and a huge time saver. Many new innovations are present in newer models that make the upgrade well worth it and necessary. When shopping for a new dishwasher consider the volume of the dishwasher, the location of the display and the ability to move around the interior, as well as the substance that the model is made out of, so that you can get the best model for your needs.

In need of Advice on Drawing
Hello my name is Ambrose Mcduffy
I am looking for some critiques on my sketches for things I need to improve.
I'm pretty much new to drawing and is self taught, I watched a couple of DVD like, Vilppu and Gnomon, and they pretty much helped a lot.
The reason I decided to draw is three reason, One is I need to have my foundation right before I move to other mediums like, zbrush, photoshop, etc.
The other reason is because I want to get into the art institute or Columbia College here in Chicago, and need a pretty sick portfolio.
The last an final reason is because I love doing it, even though I'm not as good as I want to be, I love drawing and it's a passion of mine.
So any advice would do tips that you may have when you started on things you do now, anything would be helpful.
Thank you.

Hey nice to see the sketches. Well if i have to answer then in first sketch, when you are drawing a Sportsmen (boxer is guess) try to draw a fit here it looks like a boxer with tummy, and yeah shoulders should be strong thats the case in both sketches and in 2nd one the left half of the body looks weaker then other half . Personally i like the 1st sketch , do more practice you will get the success, am sure.
Good luck

I think you're got a really good start here!
Critiques on individual drawings and such are great, but, imo, at this point in your development I think the best advice anyone can give you right now is to just draw as much as you possibly can. Draw every day. Draw from various references and resources (from life, from photos, from master drawings, etc). Get in the habit of taking a sketchbook with you all the time. If you want to be as good as you can be, you have to turn it into a habit: the thing that you do when you get home and you don't know what to do with yourself. The activity that you default to. Your drawings look good, your reasoning and plans are sound, and it looks like you're going to the right place for resources (gnomon...and here!). Check out some of the recommended anatomy books and keep crankin' em out!

Art's a lifestyle...portfolio
Jeff Thomann

nice stuff... BUT... as you progress, you might think about trying to move away from just "outlining" the figures, and move towards drawing the shadows. Coming from a painting background, I find that sort of thing to be important since it helps you figure out the entire picture plane better compositionally. Try drawing some figures where none of the spaces between the figure and the background are made of outlines. Use negative space and crosshatching and stuff to see if you can create the patterns to seperate the planes instead of solely relying on drawn lines. If you do rely on lines, maybe think about trying to simply the line to one solid line that varies in shape and size instead of a bunch of scribly outlines. Just some ideas - that's some of the sort of stuff folks focus on in real drawing classes.

try using less lines when sketching. Its hard to not be sketchy when your trying to visualize the shape, but if you draw really light the quick sketchy outline, and then lay down some hard lines on top of that. It might help you capture the gesture a lot quicker which might help make your sketches look more balanced and realistic. I would stay away from making the sketch look too detailed. I found that sometimes when I draw too much details while sketching, I end up spending way tooo much time on making the head have a face. So when I realize the head should be a little to the left or right, its painful to erase all that great detail I worked on, which makes me just try and fudge up something else and end result always looks a bit off, anyway... that's enough rambling from my end. Best of luck.

The 2014 IFSC Boulder World Championships were held in Munich, this August 21-23, 2014. The world's top boulderers gave their all before a crowd of more than 6,000 supporters in a suspense-filled final that came down to the last attempts of the very last problem.
In the end, Germany's Juliane Wurm took gold on home soil and the Czech Republic's Adam Ondra clinched his first Boulder World Champion title.
Britain's Shauna Coxsey came in 4th place and current British Champion Michaela Tracy finished 6th.
The women's competition saw the return of a more relaxed Alex Puccio (USA) after the Vail World Cup in June, and the break from competition did wonders for her climbing. While the rest of the field struggled for a single top, she easily topped the first two boulders, as well as the last run-and-jump problem. Germany's Juliane Wurm, spurred on by the positively electric home crowd, kept on Puccio's tail, and climbing the final problem of the competition, managed to top with fewer attempts than Puccio and clinch the title with 3 tops in 8 attempts. Puccio took silver with three tops in 9 attempts, and Japan's Akiyo Noguchi took bronze with a final score of 1 top in 1 attempt.
The men's field was just as exciting, with the last problem deciding between the Czech Republic's Adam Ondra or Germany's Jan Hojer for first place. Adam climbed before Jan to a score of 4 tops in 16 attemps, and Hojer, the last climber on the last problem, had to top out in fewer attempts to take the title. Hojer was not able to make the top, and Ondra took gold with a score of 4 tops in 16 attempts. Jernej Kruder of Slovenia took silver with 3 tops in 12 attempts and 4 bonuses in 13, and Hojer took bronze with 3 tops in 12 attempts and 3 bonuses in 9.
Other British results:
- Charlotte Garden - 33rd
- Dave Barrans - 41st
- Nathan Philips - 59th
- Jon Partridge - 66th
- Matthew Cousins - 75th
- Tom Newman - 92nd.

They enjoy dishing it out to others but run mile if they know that they too will get a good licking. I say bring back the catonine tail, whip them hard. Especially those involved in corruption.

A lush, richly written tale of family rivalries and allegiances, this carefully crafted novel of life, lands, and passions offer the reader a pleasure akin to the experience of a bardic recital.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Samson, a fictional clerk of the thirteenth-century Princes of Gwynedd, relates the story of Llewelyn ap Griffith, who sought to free Wales from English tyranny and build a nation. Wresting power from the power-hungry King Henry leads to strange policies. This is a tangled tale of family rivalries and allegiances, richly written. Read with the rolling lilt of the Welsh tongue, Pargeter's carefully crafted descriptions of life, lands and passions take on, in Mitchley's delivery, the feel of a bardic recital. Pargeter wrote four books on the Welsh struggle, of which this is the first. For lovers of beautifully shaped phrasing and a good dose of history, this rendition is enchantment. S.B.S.

Now living in Deal, Kent when not in Wengen. We play golf in UK and when in Wengen we ski if the weather is nice and enjoy the Village and the views when it is not. We have 2 daughters and 2 sons and 10 grandchildren. In the Winter months, the oldest children ski and the younger ones toboggan when they come to stay. In the Summer months there is a great deal for the children to enjoy including "trotti biking, outdoor parks, boating and swimming etc.
Miranda Lane purchased this chalet in 2009
We knew we wanted to buy a place in Wengen because I had been visiting there for a very long time. We were so lucky that Chalet Bijouli was available when we were looking and knew it was 'the place' the moment we walked in. The 3 double bedrooms are well equipped with fitted cupboards and basins and the sitting room has a wonderful log fire and there is a dining room. The kitchen is separate and the whole provides a warm and comfortable house with some antique furniture in the living room but with a modern kitchen and bathrooms. There is a large south and west facing terrace with views across the Lauterbrunnen Valley towards Murren and a rockery garden.
Chalet Bijouli was intimate and cozy with some of the best views we've ever seen. Miranda was very kind/ helpful, and the instructions to getting settled were thorough. The Chalet rests about 50 Meters above the train station, and all necessities were 5 minutes away. The environment is quiet, and the bells of the livestock will lull you to sleep each night. Our family will not soon forget Chalet Bijouli!
The chalet has all one could hope for and much more! It really feels like home away from home! Although it is not ski in ski out, it is super conveniently located that it provides easy and fast access to the slopes! The chalet is also fully equipped with games and movies, so when you are not skiing, your kids are fully entertained!
Even when the weather was not perfect, we enjoyed ourselves. Great chalet, great walking, great everything. Although the chalet was not in the village, we were there to walk...... so we took the train to the Village for shopping............ so easy and walked everywhere else. Views were tremendous. The chalet quiet (except for mooing cows!), well equipped, well furnished and for us, it was just what we wanted. Thank you Miranda and family..... we will be back.
We had an amazing stay in Chalet Bijouli for a too short 4 days. We loved the location 10 minutes from Wengen in a small farming village. The chalet was beautiful and had everything you would ever need, especially in the kitchen. We cooked many of our meals while we there and always had an abundance of utensils, spices, etc. Catherine was a great help with assistance with finding the location, restaurants, etc. Thank you Miranda for sharing your incredible chalet!
Family of five really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, quiet and convenient.
We loved our stay at this chalet! The space felt authentically Swiss, the location just outside Wengen was superb--probably closer to the train than had we stayed in the village itself, and the view was stunning. Miranda was wonderful in the booking process and communicated all the details of our stay in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this rental and hope to return again someday. Thank you, Miranda, for helping make our Switzerland dream vacation a reality!
The Chalet is situated on the edge of Wengen, lying at the foot of the famous Eiger Monch and Jungfrau range within the Jungfrau world heritage site; an area of outstanding natural beauty. Bijouli offers relaxation in pure mountain air with lots of sunshine even in the snow! There are numerous activities; walking,hiking, mountaineering and winter sports being the obvious ones, but you can just sit and enjoy the wonderful views making it an ideal location to visit winter and summer alike! The world's hardest marathon, The Jungfrau, takes place every September and The World Cup ski circuit comes to town in January. It is ideally situated for visiting Interlaken and Bern by train or the local resorts of Grindelwald, with views of the Eiger North Wall or car free Murren, both accessible by cable car. Whilst at Murren you can visit the Schilthorn where the James Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' was filmed, or spend a day at the top of the Jungfrau at 3454m. See availability.
Other Activities: white water rafting, snow boarding, bird spotting, nature rambles
|No additional mandatory fees

Chad Winters keeps his hand on his radio, politely giving orders to co-workers toiling at an oil property in a stretch of Alberta farmland.
"One tonne of 40/70," Mr. Winters requests over the radio. "Three thirty-three, then hold till I tell you otherwise."
Mr. Winters speaks a language few understand. He runs the show in the field when Trican Well Service Ltd. is called in to perform a controversial technique used to gather oil and natural gas from impermeable rocks.
On this day, Trican is working for NAL Energy Corp. near Bowden, about 100 kilometres north of Calgary. Trican is there to pump water, chemical and natural additives, and nitrogen down a well at frighteningly high pressure, with hopes of forcing fissures in the rocks thousands of metres below the surface. Sand will follow, propping open the cracks, allowing trapped oil to escape. The process is called hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking.
Mr. Winters sits in the site's computer van as he calls out changes to fracking fluid mixtures to his workers, eyeing a large-screen TV relaying data from above and below ground. Computer monitors manned by other team members fill the van. Mr. Winters has worked his way up through Trican; his days of spitting sand out of his teeth and keeping chemicals away from his eyes are over.
The pipes outside the van are pulsating as the pumper trucks shoot the fracking fluid down the well. The air smells of diesel exhaust due to the row of trucks powering the operation.
Then it goes quiet inside the van. Everyone focuses on their screens, watching coloured lines move their way up the graph. Pressure levels are nearing the danger zone. But finally the rock below cracks, and there's a sense of relief in the van as chatter resumes. "That was a bit stressful," says Lance Berg, an NAL executive on site.
The Trican crew is part of a growing army that is bringing 21st-century technology to the job of recovering crude oil and natural gas from far below the ground. Using computer-assisted drilling and fracking techniques, the energy industry is in the early stages of a revolution that has overturned decades-old assumptions about North America's depleting oil and gas resources.
But the industry is now at a critical crossroads. It must prove that fracking is environmentally safe, before a growing public backlash stops the practice in its tracks or seriously slows development of massive new oil and gas pools trapped in shale rock and tight formations. At stake is North America's energy renaissance, which promises the security of vast untapped local supplies previously seen as inaccessible, along with major economic spinoff effects that go far beyond direct jobs in the oil patch.
The public fear of fracking has come to encompass all the risks associated with development of shale gas and tight oil: from seepage of fracking fluids into aquifers, to methane in well water, to pollution from wastewater, and to earthquakes caused by re-injecting the wastewater underground.
Whether drilling wells and fracking is environmentally destructive remains a raging debate. A panel established by U.S. President Barack Obama last year concluded that there are "serious environmental impacts" from new high-tech oil and gas development. Industry officials insist that the risks are minimal, and say fracking's effects are misunderstood.
At a conference this week in Houston, the panel's chairman, John Deutch – a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and former director of the Central Intelligence Agency – said the unconventional oil and gas boom offers "astonishingly important benefits" for North America. But he added a warning to the industry.
"Unless the environmental impacts associated with shale gas and oil from shale in the United States are not only acknowledged but addressed in a serious practical way," he said, "there is a very real danger that the great benefits we should be enjoying from this unconventional production will be delayed, or even stopped, because of public concern and public opposition."
But the Deutch panel said the industry and its government regulators have the means to reduce the risks to acceptable levels, so long as they act decisively.Report Typo/Error

Today if you go to your local video game retailer you may want to be quiet, because there are probably going to be plenty Sleeping Dogs on the shelves. Though these Sleeping Dogs will probably be flying off the shelves because this video game looks like it is going to take the market by storm.
Relasing on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Pc today, Sleeping Dogs offers an unprecedented open world experience in Hong Kong as they follow the story of undercover cop Wei Shen. As Wei Shen players must focus on taking down one of the most fearsome criminal games, the Triad, from the inside. Featuring brutal combat, intense gun fights and plenty of side-missions to keep the players busy, Sleeping Dogs looks like it is everything a fan of open world action games could want.

|Cal St. Dominguez Hills
|Complete Poll
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The top three spots remain unchanged this week in the new NABC/Division II men's basketball rankings, with nine of the top 10 teams from last week remaining ranked among the top 10 in the nation heading into the final week of January.
West Liberty recorded two impressive wins last week and Bellarmine followed up a narrow win at Indianapolis with a victory over Northern Kentucky to hold onto the top two spots. Augusta State also won twice last week to stay at No. 3, while Cal State Dominguez Hills and Findlay each moved up a spot after last week's fourth-ranked team, Southern Indiana, suffered a loss to Indianapolis.
Alabama-Huntsville and Fort Hays State also moved up a spot in the rankings this week with their wins, while Lincoln Memorial jumped two places to No. 8 as it beat Brevard and Lenoir-Rhyne to retain its perfect record. Southern Indiana dropped to No. 9 as the result of its loss and Central Oklahoma replaces fellow Lone Star Conference school Incarnate Word in the top 10 in the tenth spot.
Missouri Southern checks in at No. 11 this week, followed by Minnesota State, Incarnate Word, Central Washington and Grand Valley State. The next five teams in the rankings are led by Tampa, who lost for the first time last week and bounced back with an overtime win at Nova Southeastern Saturday. The Spartans are followed by Hillsdale, Georgia Southwestern, Harding and West Texas A&M.
The final five teams in this week's poll belong to Wayne State (Mich.), Humboldt State, Arkansas Tech, Kentucky Wesleyan and the only team making its first appearance in the poll this season, Saint Anselm.
The NCAA will release its first regional rankings of the 2010-11 season Jan. 26.

Actress Rumer Willis is resting up after fracturing her foot during the Dancing With The Stars live tour.
The House Bunny star, whose parents are Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, won the 2015 reality TV show last month (May15) and is currently on a national tour with fellow stars of the show including musician Riker Lynch and model/athlete Noah Galloway.
However, Willis has taken to Instagram.com to inform fans she is now unable to dance on the tour due to an injury, but she plans to sing during the stage shows instead.
She writes, "I have to hang up my dancing shoes for a little bit because of a few stress fractures in my foot but it's not gonna stop me from singing for you guys on the (tour)..."
The Dancing with the Stars tour concludes in Rockford, Illinois in August (15).

Days after a lawsuit claimed Drew Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, their son appeared on national TV with his father and said he believes the death was an accident.
"Accidents happen all the time," Thomas Peterson, 16, said on CBS' "The Early Show."
"I highly do not believe that my dad had murdered my mom. Because, first off, he wasn't there, he was with us during that period of time. I don't know what else to say. I don't believe it."

The city of Boca Raton and the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Parks District have been dealt another blow in their efforts to quash a ballot initiative that would ban private development on public lands near the beach.
Circuit Judge Lucy Chernow Brown denied the city's request for a rehearing and the district's motion to intervene in the case.
The City Council voted Tuesday to appeal the judge's order that the initiative must be placed on the ballot.
Commissioners may discuss the ruling at the district's next meeting at 5:15 p.m. Monday at the Sugar Sand Park Community Center, district Executive Director Bob Langford said.
Members of Keep Your Boca Beaches Public, the group that collected signatures to launch the initiative, welcomed the ruling, but said they're growing frustrated with the protracted legal battle, said Martin Siml, who filed the initial legal challenge.
"When they voted to appeal it, it was kind of like a kick in the pants," he said. "They've already spent close to $100,000 fighting us. I don't understand why they're spending the money, when this is what the people want."
The parks district and the council are to hold a joint meeting at 4 p.m. on May 9 at the Boca Raton Community Center, 150 Crawford Blvd.

I keep up on everything, pretty much. If there have been massive amounts of people flooding the streets as they show in their video then why are we all just seeing this and hearing it NOW?
Something does not add up for me on this.

Loads of people now are calling for military intervention, with out even thinking about what they're asking for!
Would ANYONE support a war against children? Seriously?

It's very risky. They're has been assassination attempts on Kony before, every time they fail, he slaughters a load of the children, and with each failed attempt, increases the amount slaughtered.
The only real way for the children to get out of this, safe and sound, is to revolt against their rulers themselves.
Sad i know, and hard for those kids to even think about it, but it's the only way i can see these kids getting out alive and well. Because once Kony is gone, someone will take his place and rule. They need to revolt against EVERY senior working with Kony. We can not solve every problem that goes on in the world, and we can tell by past interventions we make things worse. I see that if we try and get involved, a lot more children are going to see the barrel of a gun.

If the U.S sends troops after Kony, surely that means the U.S will have to be prepared to fire upon Kony's child army?
After all, as long as he is dishing out the orders, they'll do as told...

Exactly, so sending troops there will only result in the death of these chil.. - sorry, hostiles anyway.

The Principles of Pumped Storage
Pumped storage hydro-electricity works on a very simple principle.
Two reservoirs at different altitudes are required. When the water is released, from the upper reservoir, energy is created by the downflow which is directed through high-pressure shafts, linked to turbines.
In turn, the turbines power the generators to create electricity.
Water is pumped back to the upper reservoir by linking a pump shaft to the turbine shaft, using a motor to drive the pump.
The pump motors are powered by electricity from the National Grid - the process usually takes place overnight when national electricity demand is at its lowest
A dynamic response - Dinorwig's six generating units can achieve maximum output, from zero, within 16 seconds.
Pump storage generation offers a critical back-up facility during periods of excessive demand on the national grid system.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
Mark Manson isn't your typical motivational speaker. For one, he gives advice that doesn't suck. He focuses on the hard stuff in life, because, as he says, these are the moments that define who we are. On stage, just as in his iconoclastic writing and NYT bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, he counters our harmful cult of positivity with a refreshing dose of realness and honesty.
Mark Manson is a NY Times bestselling author, superstar blogger, and internet entrepreneur. He is the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life, where he presents a skeptical approach to self-help and personal development—a counterpoint to all of the "positive thinking" out there in the world. Over two million people each month read Mark's website, markmanson.net, where he discusses deep philosophical and psychological issues with a combination of vulgar humor and practical wit. He jokingly refers to it as, "Self help for people who hate self help."
"Resilience, happiness and freedom come from knowing what to care about—and most importantly, what not to care about. This is a masterful, philosophical and practical book that will give readers the wisdom to be able to do just that."— Ryan Holiday, NYT bestselling author of The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego is the Enemy
Dubbed "The Millennial Whisperer" by Mother Jones, Manson has amassed a huge following of young, educated, self-improvement-oriented adults who are fed up and jaded with the positivity proselytized by the culture at large. Manson's works has appeared or been referenced in The New York Times, the Toronto Star, The New York Daily News, TIME, Forbes, The Daily Beast, and Vice, among others. A veteran of blogging and online business, Manson sustained himself through self-publishing online beginning back in 2008. He spent seven years traveling the world, visiting and living in over 60 countries, and now speaks three languages. He graduated from Boston University with a degree in International Business and now resides in New York City.
Mark Manson is a super-star blogger and author with a message: if we want to be better, happier people, we've got to stop trying to be 'positive' all the time. His approach? A raw, hilarious, and inspiring keynote that cuts to the core of what it means to be happy and fulfilled in our era of feel-good, sugar-coated crap.
In his generation-defining school of self-help, Manson doesn't equivocate. Constant positive thinking and attempts to avoid pain aren't only impossible, but these pursuits actually push us away from real happiness. We're flawed beings, he argues, full of uncertainty and limitations. But getting to know our fears and faults—and ultimately confronting, and accepting them—is the first step to finding courage, responsibility, and forgiveness. It's also the only way we can discover what we truly care about, and start spending our time and attention on what really matters.
Happiness isn't about running from our fears, or even about feeling good; it's about finding a sense of meaning from overcoming genuine obstacles. And we're never going to do that if we keep our heads stuffed in the sand. So, if you're looking for another coddling self-help talk, look elsewhere—Mark Manson offers an in-your-face, ruthlessly honest, bracingly funny, and refreshingly stirring wake-up call for anyone looking for real talk (and actual help).
