Recycled Tote Bag at Global Exchange
We've covered numerous tote bags here on TreeHugger, but there are so many cool styles out there we always find the need to post info about new ones that we spot. This one, found at Global Exchange (who we've mentioned before) is handcrafted in Cambodia by disabled and disadvantaged women. It's made from recycled feed bags (think rice or beans here) which make it long lasting and safe for anything that you may want to carry in it such as groceries. Global Exchange is a fair trade business committed to providing fair wages and good employment opportunities to economically disadvantaged artisans. Thanks for the tip, Heidi B.!

Westville, NJ (PRWEB) December 28, 2011
A wonderful story about two identical twins from Erie, Penn., Ali and Cal McGregor, and their incredible journey to finding love and experiencing life at its fullest is in the new book titled A TwinCredible Journey penned by authors Alexandra and Carolyn Stanch.
William and Barbara McGregor, Ali and Cal's parents, were both born and raised in Liverpool, England. They emigrated to the United States and left everything behind for a better life. After 18 months, William and Barbara bought their own house, and it was then that they found out they were expecting twins.
The story takes readers into the lives of these identical twins Ali and Cal, who looks much younger with their ages. They are both working as nurses from a rehabilitation hospital in Pennsylvania and are about to attend the annual Twinsburg Festival in Ohio. In its Twins Day event, twins all over the world are given the opportunity to come together and share the one thing every person has in common. Little did Ali and Cal know, they will meet Jim and Jeff Stanch, also both identical twins from New Jersey who also attend the event and both of whom will lead them to an incredible journey through life, eventually sharing lifelong love and commitment in a unique way, which is between two couples, both identical twins.
The book also shares how society views identical twins, especially for those couples who are both identical twins. Some think that being identical is just so cool even if others perceived it the other way around. Nevertheless, despite the similar nature of identities between twins, still, each set has their own personality which is unique from the other.
Furthermore, readers will find it entertaining to read the adventurous romantic story of these extraordinary couples who never expected to find love but found one and also found commitment that will last a lifetime. It's double the fun and excitement as readers take a journey with the story of these identical couples.

|PM Lee speaking at National Rally 2016
Conventional wisdom dictates that a Singaporean resident must invest in property (usually eating up most of his savings), as if property investment is the sure-win method to financial nirvana. A word of caution. What works for our grandparents (pioneer generation) and parents (baby-boomers) might not work for us and the future generations. Moving forward, local residential property prices are unlikely to see exponential appreciation compared to the 80s and 90s. Those times are not returning.
You might be wondering......why so fearful, DK? In the worst-case scenario, the Singapore government can implement expansionary fiscal policies to 'juice up' the economy. That worked before. Unfortunately, our aging demographics meant that social spending will only escalate in the future, thus limiting the amount of support the government can provide. Besides, we simply could not afford to keep dipping into our national reserves.
Wait a minute! How about Temasek Holdings and GIC? Surely they can swoop in as white knights in their shiny armour to save the day! The hard truth is actually more years of expected lower returns from our SWFs.

Important U.S. immigration laws and regulations include guidelines for who is eligible for a visa and how the government determines priority. A visa, or green card, is required for permanent residence in the United States, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Applicants must have a family or employer sponsor, qualify as a refugee or asylum seeker, or meet other special criteria.Continue Reading
Individuals with immediate family members who are citizens, such as parents, spouses or unmarried children, can obtain a visa without a waiting period or having to compete for a limited number of visas, states U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Most other categories of available visas have a limited supply, and the government grants applicants priority based on their status. For example, spouses of non-citizen permanent residents have priority over siblings of adult U.S. citizens. Similarly, workers with exceptional work skills and advanced degrees have priority over lesser skilled workers.
Individuals seeking refugee status in the United States must apply for a visa after a year of residency, explains U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Asylum seekers can also apply for a visa after one year, but the government does not require them to do so. Other special classes of eligible immigrants include children and spouses who are victims of domestic violence, the children of foreign diplomats, religious workers, and employees of international organizations.Learn more about Immigration

Business briefs: Healthcare reform, Amgen, Pakistan pharma stance, digital marketing
A government shutdown may be coming, but healthcare reform will roll on, notes the Wall Street Journal, citing a July report from the Congressional Research Service that addressed this possible confluence of events. The health exchanges, a keystone part of healthcare reform which are set to open Monday, October 1, have been heralded by a mix of tear-it-down Republican efforts and educational efforts, such as those by the Kaiser Foundation seeking to help consumers navigate the new system. To this end, Kaiser released a subsidy calculator Wednesday that provides estimates based on zip code for 46 states and Washington, DC, that will have insurance marketplaces. Kaiser's announcement notes that not every exchange is accounted for, in some cases because data is missing, and in others, such as New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Kentucky, use unique methods of calculation. The subsidy calculator's release dovetails with the Administration's preview of premiums. The New York Times notes that numbers are for the lower-cost plans and fail to identify private insurers, which will be offering coverage on exchanges. "The figures, almost by definition, provide a favorable view of costs, highlighting the least expensive coverage in each state," the Times reported. Knowing which plan to buy is just one challenge. NPR noted over the summer that many consumers do not understand how insurance works. This makes for a steep learning cure, particularly because research has shown that even privately insured individuals do not necessarily understand their healthcare plans, making decisions like a high deductible-low premium tradeoff that much more difficult. While funding the program and the government remain top-of-mind in DC, today's turmoil continues to color the 2016 runoff. Politico reports South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham will be calling Obamacare "Clintoncare" in the hopes it could dim her possible 2016 chances. The name is a double entendre, referring to the healthcare reform which cleared Congress and her own failed efforts during Bill Clinton's administration to get healthcare reform passed.
Amgen is going collegiate in China. The drug maker and ShanghaiTech University have signed an R&D agreement to advance biopharmaceutical discovery and translational research in China. The agreement means Amgen will set up R&D ops near two of ShanghaiTech's institutes – its advanced immunochemical studies institute and the iHuman institute. The company expects an R&D center to be up and running in 2014.
Pakistan's Security and Exchange Commission wants to establish pharmaceutical marketing rules, reports the Business Recorder, which says the government agency has sent draft guidelines to the health services minister. The Business Recorder's sources told the news outlet that the enforcement and compliance with the proposed regulations, which would guide financial interactions between HCPs and pharmaceutical companies, could reduce the cost of medicines. Among the proposed guidelines: HCPs selected for pharma consulting agreements must be picked based on qualifications, not business volume, and payments must be by check or bank transfer and agreed upon and disclosed in writing prior to agreement. Food and travel would also need to be tracked. Business Reporter describes these per-diem expenses as "reasonable."
Advertisers are heaping money on Norwegians. The research site eMarketer notes that advertisers there will spend $209 in Internet ads per citizen this year, trailed by the US where the Internet ad spend is expected to hit $201 per person this year and by Australia, which will be targeted with around $191-worth of attempts to capture their mobile gaze. Total media spend skews differently, with Australia topping the list at $582 per person this year, followed by the US ($540) and Norway ($535). Overall, the total media spend is a mini-mini-rebound. Per-person total ad spend, eMarketer notes, is up 1.1% in Western Europe, after falling 1.1% in 2012. Digital spend's profile is much higher: eMarketer estimates it will rise 10.2% over last year as a whole, but 12% in Finland, Germany and the UK.

How is the word "Night" symbolic for Elie Wiesel's experience? Explain.
help please (:
help please (:
Consider the mood and tone of this story. Yes, it is very dark hence the title. I think Night becomes an extension of everything. Human nature, both Jew and gentile, is dark. The days in the camp are dark emotionally as well as physically, the smoke from the fires of burning flesh makes things dark.

Defense was supposed to be the Devils' Achilles' heel, the position where the losses in the past five years of Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer and Brian Rafalski would finally hit a team built to prevent goals. And then Martin Brodeur went down.
But disaster hasn't occurred – quite the opposite. Helped in large part by goalie Scott Clemmensen's first-shot stopping, they've done more than made do. The Devils enter tonight's game in Newark against the East-leading Bruins (7:00, VERSUS, WFAN 660 AM) ranked second in the conference behind Boston in fewest goals allowed.
Lou Lamoriello's collection includes a few refugees from the minors, a couple of undrafted players, and no one selected higher than 49th. A no-name defense, indeed.
One of the quandaries in the new NHL is figuring out what makes a good defenseman these days. Teams spend millions on free agents who star for one team and stink for their new one. Skating ability seems a premium until the moment a Fancy Dan flops.
Right now, Johnny Oduya may be one of the biggest bargains in the NHL, making $600K as he approaches unrestricted free agency. Drafted 221st overall by the Caps in 2001, he never joined them and was plucked from the Swedish league as an unsigned unrestricted by New Jersey in 2006.
Then there's Jay Leach, 29, chosen 115th by Phoenix in 1998, who had played all of four NHL games, two each with Boston and Tampa, while toiling with 11 different minor league teams. He was brought up as a fill-in and seems to be sticking, his toughness and basic style satisfying coach Brent Sutter.
Mike Mottau had despaired ever making good on his 2000 Hobey Baker Award, the NCAA's hockey Heisman. Taken 182nd by the Rangers, the 30-year-old played only 23 NHL games before joining the Devils last season.
Andy Greene was never drafted, signing with the Devils as another rabbit from Lamoriello's hat. Sheldon Brookbank, another never-drafted, played only three NHL games while spending seven seasons in the minors. Anssi Salmela, down on the farm, was another undrafted signee.
Paul Martin, who the Devils drafted 62nd in 2000, shouldn't have been such a surprise, named Mr. Hockey in Minnesota that year as the state's top high schooler. Colin White, the highest-drafted of the crew (No. 49 in 1996), is returning to solid form, adjusting to last year's devastating eye injury. Bryce Salvador, drafted 138th in 1994 and acquired for Cam Janssen last February, went minus-24 in 46 games three seasons ago. Salvador may miss his third straight game tonight with an "upper body injury," but he has been one of the team's
Lamoriello will surely be seeking to add a stud defenseman – agile skater, big body, big shot – in the next two-plus months before the trade deadline. But this bunch has made any such quest a luxury hunt, not an emergency necessity. It's a marvel, and tips of the hat are due the coaching staff for making it work, the brass for picking them out, and this no-name bunch for making names for themselves.
Patrik Elias was named the NHL's third star of the week ending Dec.
21, leading the league with eight points (3-5-8) in four games. He brings a 10-game point streak, longest on the team this season, into tonight. … Devils stand 12-2-1 in last 15 games and have won three straight. … Devils went 3-1 vs. Bruins last season, winning once in OT and once by shootout, both at home. The lone loss, 4-3 on Jan. 5 in Boston, was Kevin Weekes' final start of the season. … Scott Clemmensen, 11-1-1 in his last 13 starts, is 2-1 lifetime vs. Bruins.

Despite advances in technology, medicine, intelligence, and health, which have all rapidly accelerated our world into the modern 21st century, humans still have an unusual tendency to point to the caveman as a reference for forging ahead with their meat-eating addiction.

The Write Year
So this is the year my writing finally comes to the foreground. A quick glance over my blog for 2017 will take you 2 seconds (don't do it, it's not worth the time) to see I put up zip, zero, nada, a goose egg! Alright, so I did publish a few posts, but they were certainly nothing substantial, but just enough words on the screen to let you wonderful people know I hadn't disappeared.
What happens in Vegas travels around the world
We arrived in Vegas on Sunday afternoon, Oct 1, and we went to a show that night at the MGM at 7pm. We came out around 8:30pm. A few hours later, unfortunately, history was made…
When the shooting happened, Sel and I were already in our hotel room at the Elara Hilton. I was asleep. But we'd traveled to Vegas with 10 of our friends. A few of our group were still out on the strip when the shooting started, and they were staying at the Excalibur, which is pretty close to Mandalay Bay. We didn't know at the time what was going on, just that something was happening up near Mandalay Bay and there was an active shooter on the strip, as the news headlines screamed.
Sel rang one of the girls, and while they were talking, our friend started saying "oh shit, everyone's running", and suddenly Sel couldn't hear her, she could just hear people shouting. She woke me up and we went down into the lobby to try and meet them so they could stay in our room. As we reached the lobby, people started running back toward us and the elevators yelling, "shit, he's coming! he's coming!" We quickly turned and jumped back into the elevator and a couple that ran back toward us literally dove into the elevator and smashed the buttons as hard as they could to get the elevator moving. The girl was hysterical, and said they were at the festival and had seen their friend get shot. We hightailed it to our room on the 34th floor and locked the door.
In hindsight, the guy was never anywhere near us. In fact, he never left his hotel room at Mandalay Bay. But those few minutes are possibly the most freaked out I've ever been. So to try to guess what it was like for the people who were actually caught up in the crossfire, and physically, mentally, and emotionally experiencing everything that was happening at the festival is well beyond my imagination.
The rest of our group who were out made it to a nearby casino/hotel and were in lockdown for most of the night, but they were safe, and once we knew everyone was safe, we turned our attention to the news. We watched it unfold on the screen while seeing a mass of flashing lights, and hearing a ridiculous amount of sirens below us out the window. It was still hard to put the two events together.
Monday morning and the strip was incredibly eerie. As you would expect, the mood was sombre. Several eateries had signs saying they were either closed due to the events of the night before, or they'd be opening later than usual. We assumed that was because as soon as everything went down, they either fled or were put on lockdown and didn't get a chance to clean up and shut up shop properly.
I got the feeling that people around us didn't know how to react, or how to act. When you consider that most people staying around the strip likely aren't locals, it's a strange feeling. Especially We have zero connection to Vegas. This is where we've come twice now just to get caught up in the lights, the atmosphere, the attractions & shows, and generally just have a good time. This is the place where reality is supposed to disappear for a few days.
Well reality hit us all like a tonne of bricks.
No matter where we've gone over the last two days, it feels like the two broken windows from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay have been sticking out like sore thumbs and looking down over the strip. We went on a tour out to Hoover Dam yesterday, and going past on the bus, we could see the detailed outline of the shattered glass. To think he was standing there with a gun pointed out the window less than two days was sobering.
But the messages that have lit up all around Vegas since Monday morning, plus the attitude of the locals, employees and the police has been quite incredible.
On Monday morning, every casino used their electronic billboard to tell people where they could donate blood, and who to contact about loved ones. It then switched to messages about thoughts and prayers for everyone involved, and now a message of thanks.
On Tuesday we thanked a few police officers who were standing on the strip. They were humble, but they were regretful that they didn't reach him sooner, despite the incredibly legitimate claims that the first responders did a helluva job in stopping this from becoming an even worse tragedy then it already was. The police presence around the strip since has been exceptional. Not because they're watching people with suspicion, or fearing another attack, but I personally believe the aim is to make everyone feel safe again.
This tragedy has given me a permanent connection to Vegas. An unfortunate one, but one that has also given me a perspective I didn't expect. Whenever a tragedy occurs around the world, I used to cringe when I saw a flood of hashtags… #prayforthis #prayforthat, and it felt as though people jumped on the easy bandwagon; 'I've done my part for that tragedy.' But in such close proximity to the receiving end of the tweets and prayers and hashtags coming from around the world, from a very broad perspective, I can kind of see how it helps people and a community to know that everyone is thinking of them, even if it is a 5 second social media message.
So, as with anything as tragic and as unexpected as this, it's a timely reminder to remember not to take your life for granted. Enjoy every moment, love your friends and family, and don't sweat the small stuff.
We set off again…
So it's travel time again.
To the U.S of A (again) for the next 4 weeks.
This time we're taking 10 friends with us!

Eli's journey

Being Vegan: A 6 month review
6 months ago I made the decision to trial a life of not eating animals or animal-related products for a few weeks. No more meat, cheese, milk, honey and so on. After a few weeks, I realised the likelihood of reverting back was slim. And so it proved, the trial turned into a permanent change. So, how am I doing 6 months on?
The short answer: Absolutely fantastic
Have there been hiccups along the way? Of course. But with anything worth doing in life, there exists the occasional roadblock to test your mental fortitude as if to ask, 'do you really mean what you're saying and doing?'
As the weeks rolled by, I learnt that one by one, I was crossing more food off the list of what I could eat. Sometimes it was hugely disappointing, especially if I had my heart set on something specific. Other times, it wasn't so bad.
- Jelly lollies? Nope, they're made with gelatin. Where does gelatin come from? Google it….
- A pastry from the bakery? Full of butter.
- Veggie patty on a burger? Sorry, made with eggs..
- A packet of salt and vinegar chips (crisps)? Nah-uh, it has milk solids.
In fact a lot of things are made using milk solids. Nevermind. As a vegan, you learn to find some cheeky loopholes – food that at first glance you wouldn't think you could eat, but a quick scan of the ingredients leaves you wide-eyed and drooling… i.e. most variations of Oreos!What you may have noticed is that most of that food above is generally unhealthy anyway. Animal aside, it's food I'm better off avoiding. By mostly eating healthy, I've found I view junk food differently than I used to. When I used to spot someone eating a Big Mac, more often than not it made me crave one myself. Now, I look at the person, not the burger, and what I see is quite often a horribly unhealthy looking person jamming part of an animal down their throat. I don't miss it at all.
I've learnt that some people view veganism as a diet. The more apt word is lifestyle, and while that sounds clichéd, it's true for me. The word diet conjures up images of going without and cutting back certain foods. Veganism doesn't involve either of these things. I don't go without meat, it's just simply no longer an option. Just as some people would never consider eating say, haggis, I no longer consider eating meat. I also don't cut back. I either eat a food or I don't. It generally either has animal or it doesn't.
The problem with a diet is that it's too easy to succumb to bad food and tell yourself that you'll run an extra lap or two around the park later that day (which let's face it, won't happen). If you're vegan for the animals, you can't eat animal and then make up for it later. It simply doesn't work that way.
Food aside, the moral benefit of eating vegan has already proven to be fulfilling and frustrating in equal measures. Although I feel vastly better mentally and physically about my choice, it's also opened my eyes to how mindless and contradictory society is when it comes to animals. Dog rescue/animal shelter on one corner, a BBQ steakhouse on the next. People crying out about animal abuse because a puppy was tortured and killed, but the same people will bury their head in the sand when it comes to discussing how that sizzling bacon ends up on their plate. Vegans have developed a well-known reputation for being 'preachy', yet for decades, the meat and dairy industry has never held back on flooding us with messages telling us what to eat and drink. Food for thought hey…
All in all, going vegan is one of the best things I've done. Mentally and spiritually I feel so much better, and physically I feel great, not to mention I'm leaner than I have been in years.

|De De Pyar De - The Hit song of SHARAABI (1984) was taken from Runa Laila's SUPERUNA album which actually had a Bengali origin. (Did You Know - 41)
Runa Laila, a famous playback singer in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India was active in the decades of 70s and 80s in the past. Amongst her immensely popular numbers in India remain "Dama Dam Mast Qalander" and "Mera Babu Chhail Chhabila Main To Nachungi".

Bobby Sing
Dear Chris,
3. Regarding this point firstly, the article does not make it as if RUNA LAILA is the COMPOSER of the song. Thats your conclusion. But the article actually is trying to say that it was Runa Laila's private album from which the song was actually taken.
If a music composer or lyricist, composes or writes a song for any paricular person or project then he rightly takes his fees and sells that work to the person concerned. Now here after selling that work, they ethically cannot use the same song in any other project of theirs as they dont have the copyrright to do so.
4. Lastly, I would like to add that the article actually came into existence when I read a recent interview of Runa Laila in FILMFARE magazine, in which she clearly said that it was she, who was first informed to sing the song by Bappi Da himself but later the plans got changed somehow and she still doesnt know what happened.
Well, here are the 2 songs
Song from Guide -
Bengali folk song - the inspiration seems to be pretty direct from 1.01 min.
One doesn't need to be a musician to see that I reckon.
Bobby Sing
After listening to the Bangla song in particular, there is no doubt that Bappi Da's "De De Pyar De" is infact a clear clone or version of this original song also adpated by S. D. Burman in "Guide".

Taking a sheet of metal and turning it into a pair of earrings, or a necklace, is incredibly satisfying. The work is harder, sometimes it feels like your whole body is being put to use but the end result is all the more fulfilling. It's been exciting work and I can't wait to see what I'll be creating in another year from now.
These pieces are available at Collectors in Berkeley, Valley Art Gallery in Walnut Creek, Alina B in Blackhawk, and Lafayette Art Gallery in Lafayette, SFO Airport Terminal 3.


text: OK so these are the 360 games that I own: Lips Guitar Hero World Tour Halo 3 Ninja Gaiden 2 The Orange Box They are all optimised for HD and most importantly, they all use the 16:9 aspect ratio. I am currently using a 17" standard monitor for Xbox 360 gaming. I use a VGA cable, 1280 x 1024 (optimum res) and it looks superb. Everything looks clear and all that but these are the drawbacks: Since I am using the monitor for PC as well, I have to plug and unplug cables, which is a bit of a hassle. Screen is a bit small (I found it too small for Halo 3) In some games i.e. Guitar Hero, I get black bars just to retain the widescreen aspect ratio. Before I used the monitor for my 360, I used a 44" CRT RPTV. I use a RGB SCART cable on it, which is good. Everything's alright as well but here are the drawbacks: 480i and only 480i. Not HD, obviously I think it has overscan so the picture may look to be too big for the screen. I use a 5.1 surround for gaming with the monitor and this telly only has Dolby Virtual. I'm asking you people on which display should I stick with. The 17" one or the 44" one?

(RxWiki News) The ER is the first place patients often think of going when there's a dire need for medical attention. But not all emergencies call for that level of care. Using free medical clinics may do the trick.
Seeking care at free medical clinics can reduce the number of unnecessary visits to the emergency room, according to a recently published study.
Free clinics can help fill the void in providing care to patients with low-level health concerns that do not need the attention of more costly emergency care at hospitals.
"Find free health clinics in your area at www.freeclinicdirectory.org."
The study, led by Wenke Hwang, PhD, from the Penn State University College of Medicine, Public Health Sciences, included five hospitals that were part of Hospital Corporation of American and four free clinics in three Virginia communities.
Researchers identified uninsured patients who sought treatment at free clinics and hospital emergency rooms between March 2004 and February 2006.
More than 52,000 individual patients were identified and made up nearly 100,000 emergency room visits. About 1 out of 10 hospital visits were by patients who sought care at a clinic as well.
Researchers focused on the level of care provided by hospitals and the decision-making process within each of the ER visits, as categorized by the Hospital Corporation of America's standards.
They also tracked whether emergency treatments were needed in each case or if ambulatory care was sufficient.
Researchers found that patients who visited clinics and the ER together were more likely to be female, white and older with a pre-existing chronic disease, such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or hypertension.
Young adults between 18 and 24 years of age were significantly more likely to visit the ER for low-level care needs that may have been avoidable, researchers found.
More than 70 percent of patients who visited clinics were under 45 years of age, compared to 84 percent of patients who did not visit clinics.
According to researchers, patients who sought care at clinics before visiting emergency departments were less likely to need lower levels of care, which means that clinic users were less likely to use the ER as their first source for care.
"This suggests that by serving as medical homes for the uninsured, [clinics] can help reduce simple, low complexity types of [emergency department] visits," researchers wrote in their report.
The use of clinics is more cost effective than getting care from emergency departments, the researchers said. Clinics are also in a position to expand their services to address health needs that require more attention.
"Thus, hospitals that work with local [free clinics] not only provide an important charitable function, but also may benefit financially by diverting unnecessary and costly emergency department visits," researchers wrote.
The results should be depicted with caution, according to Adam Powell, PhD, a dailyRx Contributing Expert and president of Payer+Provider Syndicate, a consulting firm for economic and health services research.
"While it is safe to generally assume that treating patients in 'free' outpatient clinics costs the healthcare system less than providing equivalent uncompensated care in an emergency room setting, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution and do not directly demonstrate any savings," Dr. Powell said.
Researchers noted several limitations to their study, including their inability to determine whether care provided at an ER would be beneficial enough for patients who did not go to the clinics.
The researchers also assumed that uninsured patients who did not seek care at clinics were likelier to have chronic conditions that went undiagnosed during the study.
In addition, the researchers assumed that the clinic would be the primary place patients would get care, particularly in medical areas where clinics are more available. These limitations may have skewed their results.
The study was published recently in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved. The Hospital Corporate of America funded the research.

If someone celebrates with full vigor and enthusiasm, and can pull off her look, it's Heidi Klum. Every year, she amazes her fans and co-stars with incredible Halloween creations.
This year, she meandered in a full colorful butterfly costume on the streets of New York. Heidi was absolutely unrecognizable, concealed under an elaborate disguise of a giant bug. She stole the show with amazing makeup and accessories to celebrate the eerie holiday. Hats off to her effort and spirit of festivity!
Her extremely giant wings and popped eyes fluttered viewers' hearts. They were a blend of vibrant hues, including gold, blue, green, yellow, neon and white. She outperformed her previous Halloween costumes from the last five years. Heidi really scared us, being the queen of Annual Halloween party hosted in New York City.
Complementing her, an excellent companion to Heidi on this Hallows Eve was the artistic Beyoncé Knowles. Although she was relatively decipherable, her makeup and props were quite astonishing, as always.
Beyoncé surprised her many fans, dressing as a renowned Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. She tried very hard to create a dead ringer, and her efforts definitely paid off. We could see a modern Frida in Beyoncé.
The very significant elements that made Knowles look like Kahlo were her blue printed outfit, vivid floral headdress, deep pink blusher, extravagant gold and gemstone jewelry. She donned an eye-catching colorful bracelet and chunky elongated gold earrings to make her outfit even more glamorous and authentic. It was a perfect iconic emergence of Queen Bey at Charlie Bird's Halloween bash, in New York City.
Just like these super divas, you can receive some gorgeous gold jewels at Angara, and make your forthcoming festivities much more sparkling than ever before.
Though this isn't the first time celebrities have shown up in such crazy Halloween outfits, these two leading ladies brought out a phenomenal sparkle that turned Annual Halloween into an unforgettable occasion.

Schools accused of returning to anti-gay language
Forty five schools across England and Wales have sex education policies similar to the controversial Section 28 - according to research by the British Humanist Association (BHA).
Section 28 stated that a local authority shall not "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". It was repealed in 2003.
The BHA said 20 schools had policies that were "clearly offensive", while 22 implied that Section 28 might still be in force. The remaining three were otherwise vague, it said.
The Departments for Education called the policies "unacceptable" and said it was investigating.
BBC Radio 5 live's Chris Warburton spoke to Stonewall's head of education, Wes Streeting, and Conservative MP Graham Stuart, Chairman of the Education Select Committee.

"HELP" Wins Tropfest 2014
"HELP" Wins Tropfest 2014
Auckland short film directors Andrew Cooper and Nicola Peeperkoorn have taken out First Prize at Tropfest NZ 2014 with their film 'Help'.
'Help' was one of the 14 finalist short films which delighted an estimated crowd of 8,000 at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands in New Plymouth last night.
"We are surprised, shocked and honoured to win," said Cooper.
"We managed to bring together the people in our film to make magic happen," said Peeperkoorn. "The people that came out were amazing, too. There's nothing better as a filmmaker than seeing the audience reaction."
'Help' tells the story of a support group leader for wickedly weird addictions who discovers "It had a great twist in it, was really well shot and acted, and cut straight to the chase," said renowned New Zealand actor and director Michael Hurst. "It was a clear winner for us."
Hurst was one of five industry judges who selected the quirky tale for top honour.
Sponsored by the Motion Picture Association and NZ Screen Association, First Prize is a return flight to Los Angeles to meet with film and TV executives, five nights accommodation and $500 spending money.
"The skill level of the finalists was extraordinary," said NZ Screen Association Managing Director Tony Eaton. "With the new young generation coming through, we are incredibly proud to be sponsor and a part of this industry."
With a cast of more than 25 in 'Help', one performance stood out. Greg Smith received the Best Actor Award for his role in the film.
Taranaki Arts Festival Trust Best Actress: Yola Brown in 'Bea Spectacled'.
Yoobee School of Design Best Animated Film: David Petit for 'The Lighthouse Keeper'.
Ngā Aho Whakaari/Wairoa Maori Film Festival/Te Puni Kōkiri Best Maori Director: Allan Yoobee School of Design Best Use of Visual Effects: Adam Harvey for 'You Only Die Forever'.
Tropfest International Managing Director Michael Laverty was on hand to announce "WIRE" as the Tropfest Signature Item (TSI) for 2015.
Kim Muriwai, chair of the Māori in film and television body Ngā Aho Whakaari, was a first time attendee at Tropfest. "It was wonderful to see families together enjoying a wide range of films," she said. "It's such a great opportunity and we'll be doing our best to make sure "It was a great turnout from the audience, the weather was perfect and we were delighted at how everything went," said Taranaki Arts Festival Trust Chief Executive Suzanne Porter.
"Tropfest NZ goes from strength to strength and we are excited to be a growing part of the largest short film festival in the world."

watch Thank you for visiting the official website for Motivation, Altruism, Personality and Social Psychology: The Coming Age of Altruism (Palgave Macmillan, 2013). My book explores the debate that self-interest is a healthy guiding principle. I argue that the Western civilization is living in a 'dark age' that resembles the philosophy of the Middle Ages because of the system's over reliance on pivoting self-interest as the height of human psychological development.site de rencontre pour cУЉlibataires catholiques
click here I have traveled internationally and conducted more than a decade of research that has led to an exciting discovery which is likely to shake the very foundations of Western power systems and revolutionize the social sciences. This research has led to the observation of a pure form of altruism that I identify as exocentric altruism as leading to optimal states of psychological health.http://havanatranquility.com/daeso/192
app opzioni binarie 60 sec My book profoundly challenges the positions of many leading historical and present day psychologists. For example, the book argues Freud was wrong to take an adversarial approach to the Golden Rule and that his daughter did not fully understand the definition of pure altruism. It is posited that Freudian over-reliance on hedonistic materialism has heavily contributed to a dark age philosophy plaguing much of modern society.
order Pregabalin online The book also directly confronts assumptions made in Oakley et al's (2012) Pathological Altruism that all forms of altruism are self-interested. Evidence is offered to demonstrate that the authors in that text also did not fully comprehend the concept of pure altruism and overlooked research which demonstrates how altruism can counteract mental health issues.
binäre optionen kurse I also challenge Philip Zimbardo's position in The Lucifer Effect. My experimental research rehabilitates the importance of dipositional variables over situational variables in rendering people resistant to bad situations. I do not put people on the level of the image of a fallen angel, but rather, argue that people's capacities to do good are greater than legendary angels.
http://acps.cat/contactans The new psychological paradigm developed in this book is utilized to predict political values development. My position is that even if a few pure altruists make it into the public sphere, then we will start to witness an end to the current dark ages and the dawn of an age of altruism. The mass survey research offered in the book not only confirms the sequence of motivational development that I have observed over the years, but also, offers hope that we are on the cusp of something truly extraordinary, and that over the next few decades we may witness a series of peaceful revolutions which will see an end to the rule of artificial aristocracy and the rise of a new civilization that works to collectively resolve pressing issues rather than cause them.

2011 NFL Draft: Tyron Smith and the Value of a First-Round Offensive TackleApril 27, 2011
Every year, fans latch on to an offensive tackle prospect based on a few clips they've seen where the tackle is circled in red (otherwise you wouldn't notice him) and the lineman stands his ground for a few seconds and the quarterback throws the ball.
The fan watching the video thinks, "Wow, after seeing that one block he made for three seconds and hearing his name a few times, he's certainly a first-rounder."
If someone said, "Raise your hand if you're a victim of this come draft time," I'd be raising my hand.
It's not simply enough to hear a few nice reviews of the offensive tackle and place him in the round according to such reviews.
Is Trent Williams much better than Tyron Smith, and as such, Williams was picked fourth and Smith is projected to go ninth?
I'm sure the Cowboys don't want to sign up for a player lesser than Trent Williams, but the fact is that Williams and Smith are not a clear-cut comparison.
Drafting offensive tackles in the first round is a much more complex science.
When a team sends in the card for an offensive tackle in the first round, the team is passing up on their defensive needs and their skill-position needs to bring in a bookend along the line.
After the Tony Romo injury debacle of 2010, the Cowboys have certainly felt the sting of losing their franchise quarterback.
Let's assume the Cowboys take Tyron Smith with the ninth pick.
Smith couldn't have gone above nine because in this draft, as opposed to the 2010 draft, no team above Dallas has a franchise quarterback that needs protection.
In Carolina, Denver, Cincinnati (to enough of a degree), Cleveland and Tennessee, a franchise left tackle is already in the building to protect the man under center.
In Buffalo (no, stop listening to Chan Gailey, Ryan Fitzpatrick is not the franchise quarterback), Arizona and San Francisco, there is no franchise quarterback to protect.
The latter three teams don't want to fall into the Jake Long-Miami Dolphins trap and get their left tackle before their franchise quarterback (the Dolphins passed on the Falcons' Matt Ryan-Sam Baker combo for Jake Long-Chad Henne).
It seems as though picking a tackle can not be confined to best player available or need, but rather picking a tackle is a different animal than picking any other position.
Last year, the Redskins felt they had a quarterback to protect in Donovan McNabb, and drafted a left tackle to do just that.
Pete Carroll drafted Russell Okung to protect his franchise quarterback, Charlie Whitehurst (Carroll firmly believes that Whitehurst is the guy for Seattle).
The presence of a franchise quarterback dictates a left tackle pick, and such a pick is as much about need as it hinges on other positions.
If no franchise quarterback is in place, teams have a tough time justifying the pick of a tackle.
As such, the Cowboys, with Tony Romo entrenched as the starter (you can't honestly believe Jon Kitna will get more than a glance in training camp) can use a franchise left tackle.
Doug Free may be somewhat effective, but Jerry Jones can't pass up the potential of Tyron Smith, and the pick makes the most sense because the Cowboys are truly the first team that matches both requirements to draft a left tackle; a franchise quarterback is in place and a franchise left tackle isn't.
To call left tackle a position picked for need is only partially right.
The horse can't be put before the carriage.

Customer Reviews
- Review by Northern Minnesota Deer Hunter
Quality Price Value Fit
-Size: I'm about 6'1 & 210 pounds and ordered the XL. They seem to be a fairly good fit to wear over a couple layers on my lower body & upper body. Might be a little snug in the suspenders, but I comment on this below.
-The tricot fabric on the Realtree side is nice. Not loud, pretty soft. Can't speak to it's waterproof qualities yet as I haven't worn them in the rain.
-The fleece fabric on the snow-camo side is very soft and nice. Should insulate nicely!
-Completely forgot about the elastic cuffs at the bottom of the leg until I received them. At first I thought I wouldn't like these, but after using them a little, I prefer the elastic cuff to other bibs/pants as they keep me more streamline & quiet, manage the boot laces & tops, and there is a nice snap to keep the zipper concealed & quiet!
-The zippers on the inside of the legs are a change of pace for me as I'm used to bibs having them on the outside of the leg. This obviously doesn't allow them to zip all the way to the belt like outside-leg zippers, but I was still able to put these on with my big bulky Irish Setter hunting boots without trouble. Don't think the inside-leg zippers will make as much noise clanging on stuff as the outside leg zippers do.
-The suspender straps are not bad. Even at their most extended position, I may still lengthen them a little bit to ensure they aren't pulling up on my crotch too much. May add a little parachute cord to extend them and tie to the buckles.
-The double zipper on the bibs's fly is phenomenal for males needing to relieve themselves. Great design work Scentblocker!
-Front hip Pockets are fairly large and quiet. Fly Zippers & inside leg zippers flow nicely flow from outside to inside when bibs are turned inside out & back! Check pocket is nice to have on both sides of the bibs. Nice to have a wallet pocket in the back right that zippers shut. Don't have to worry about losing my license etc.
Wish I could give thorough remarks on the warmth rating on these, but will refrain from doing so until I've really run them through their hardcore field tests!
Would definitely recommend thus far!

TALLAHASSEE — It is a lazy, rainy day in Tallahassee and Colin Au, the president of Genting Americas, has arrived in town on a mission — to meet with every one of the state's 160 legislators to explain why Miami needs a "destination resort" with one of the world's biggest casinos.
As the top U.S. executive for one of the globe's largest casino developers, Au is prepared to lobby "24-7 for 100 days,'' he said — or as long as it takes for a legislative vote on a bill to bring resort casinos to Miami-Dade and Broward. "I'm stationed here,'' he said Tuesday, in between meetings.
A bill is expected to be filed Monday by Miami Rep. Erik Fresen and Fort Lauderdale Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff. It asks legislators to do what decades of lawmakers have rejected: bring three Las Vegas-style casinos to Florida.
The proposal appeals heavily to the jobs-first strategy of Gov. Rick Scott and legislators, but skepticism is widespread. Doubters question what impact more gambling, more tourism and more congestion will have on families, communities and the state.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Times/Herald last week, Au responded to concerns, pointedly countered rumors that his company is anti-Semitic and associated with the Chinese mafia, and offered a window into the company's legislative strategy.
"My message is very simple,'' Au said. Florida faces "huge unemployment, budget deficits and gaming is already here." Florida's choice, he said, is to decide whether it wants to keep gaming the way it is "or transform it."
He spelled out the preliminary results of an economic impact study, in which Genting consultants project annual casino tax revenue of $400 million to $600 million and the creation of 100,000 permanent jobs.
Au, 62, is one of the new breed of casino developers who, along with Sheldon Adelson of the Las Vegas Sands and Steven Wynn of Wynn Resorts, have transformed the traditional Las Vegas-style casino into multipurpose entertainment venues, geared toward high-end clients, conventions, businesses and families. The strategy has earned them billions and now each eyes Miami as a next gambling frontier.
A native of Malaysia, educated at Harvard Business School and the University of Birmingham in England, Au speaks with the argot of a Brit and the accent of an Asian. He compared Florida to Singapore, a city-state historically opposed to casinos until the powerful former prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, determined in 2005 that the right "moment" had come to permit so-called "integrated resorts" to simulate the economy.
"The key thing for Florida is to decide what I call the 'Lee Kuan Yew moment,' '' Au said. "It is transforming. We are not talking about hiring 500 jobs or 1,000 jobs. We are talking 100,000 jobs."
To up the ante, Genting Group purchased the Miami Herald property last spring from the McClatchy Company, the newspaper's parent owner, paying $236 million in cash for the bayfront building and allowing the paper to remain rent-free at the site for two years. Genting has since gobbled up adjacent property, met with downtown traffic engineers and started assuring local retailers and hotel owners that it wants to work beside them, not in competition, Au said.
Rep. Steve Precourt, a Republican from theme-park rich Orlando, has heard Genting's pitch and doesn't buy it.
"Look at the new gambling efforts around the country —from Atlantic City to Biloxi — and any of those new entrants have horribly cannibalized the local economy,'' said Precourt, chairman of the House Finance and Tax Committee.
He predicts that resort casinos "will put a whole bunch of hotels and restaurants out of business, and it won't be limited to the local economy.'' he said. He said the attempts to lure convention business to the mega-resorts will sap Orlando's "bread-and-butter convention business" and then "take huge profits out of the community."
Precourt is not a lone dissenting voice. House Speaker Dean Cannon, also from the Orlando area, said he's skeptical of the claims of the casino industry. He and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, with its new chairman from Disney, have lined up against the casino legislation.
Au acknowledged that of all the obstacles ahead of him, persuading Florida's historically antigambling Legislature to take a chance on casino resorts is the most challenging. So Au comes to every meeting with charts, graphs and numbers.
First, he talks about revenue and jobs. Genting believes Florida can create a $4 billion to $6 billion resort casino market by appealing to international tourists and high rollers from other states. Casinos would pay a 10 percent tax rate — higher than the 6.75 percent paid in Las Vegas but lower than the current 35 percent paid by Florida's slot casinos, he said. Then, Miami would lure high stakes gamblers from the East Coast and Texas, and away from Las Vegas — estimated revenue: $1 billion to $2 billion a year. Another $1 billion to $2 billion would come from Asian tourists with the rest from Latin America.
The plan is to capture one-third of the estimated 13 million East Coast tourists who visit Las Vegas and 80 to 90 percent of the Hispanic market on the East Coast, Au said.
"We are not after the little old lady in Hialeah with $25,'' he said. "We are after New Yorkers with thousands."
Au calls it the "export model" and said it's based on the company's experience in Singapore, where the destination resort market has grown 41 percent in two years, gaming tax revenue is $6 billion, and most tourists come from out of state or abroad. There, residents are discouraged from gambling with a government-imposed $100 casino entrance fee levied every 24-hours.
If Miami can't get nonstop flights from Asia, Genting is "prepared to bankroll and subsidize some of the flights," he said. "We will tell China Eastern, or Air China, that we will guarantee 50 percent of the seats," he said.
Au is sensitive to the claim that the $3.8 billion megaresort will swallow up existing local businesses. Genting's Resorts World Miami will limit its retail and convention center, he said, and partner with existing hotels, restaurants and retailers who agree to redeem the loyalty points earned by Genting customers. "We have already talked to the Beach, and the greater Miami convention center will market this thing,'' he said.
Nick Iarossi, lobbyist for the Las Vegas Sands and Genting's competitor in the resort casinos business, believes Au "is trying to backpedal some,'' from the company's claims that it will build 5,100 hotel rooms and 50 restaurants. "They are realizing the local business owners in Miami are very nervous about the size of the Genting project and nervous about the competition,'' he said.
By comparison, Sands has not come out with a proposal to indicate how many hotel rooms it will have but Iarossi expects it to be at least half of what Genting is offering. "Everybody has all different types of business models,'' Iarossi said. "We fit the model to the market.''
Au also addressed concerns from legislators that by opening the South Florida market to Las Vegas-style casinos, the state will lose the $250 million in annual payments under a revenue sharing compact with the Broward County-based Seminole Tribe.
To counter that, Au said that within four months of being awarded one of the casino licenses, Genting is prepared to open up a temporary casino at the Omni property in downtown Miami so the state can quickly offset the lost revenue. "We can backstop all the taxes that are due to the state,'' he said.
Au said Genting supports the effort by South Florida's horse and dog tracks and jai alai frontons to get parity in tax rates and games. "Philosophically, it's the right thing to do,'' he said. But, politically, his advice to them is to remove some slot machines when they install other games "to solve the expanding (gambling) footprint" that will occur because of the introduction of casinos.
As Genting's profile in Florida has risen, so have attacks from critics.
Miami businessman Norman Braman questioned Genting's ties to the government of Malaysia, where the company has a gambling monopoly, telling a Miami television station: "Just Google 'Malaysia' and 'anti-Semitism.' I imagine that this company has a very close relationship with the government and that concerns me," Braman said.
Au bristles at the suggestion that his company is anti-Semitic. The Chinese in Malaysia "were displaced just like the Jewish Diaspora, which many of our Jewish friends know,'' he said.
He said the company has "no relationship with Stanley Ho," the Macau gambling tycoon the U.S. Justice Department named as a money launderer for the Chinese Triads' organized-crime syndicate. "If there is any relationship, we wouldn't be operating in Singapore," he said.
Au also dismissed remarks of former Beacon Council president Frank Nero, who last week warned against casinos, arguing that Miami is too dependent on tourism and needs to diversify.
"Into what?'' Au asked. "Solar energy, high tech? Those take years of incubation and they need a different class of people. God, or nature, has given Miami the weather, the location, the stability and the crossroads of the three continents. Build on that strength."
The ultimate calculation for policymakers and the industry, Au said is this: "At the end of the day we are a sin industry, and the most important thing is to make the economic development benefits far outweigh anything else."
And if the Legislature doesn't agree?
"Don't feel sorry for us,'' Au said. "We are actually sitting on cash earning at a quarter of a percent. We think this (Miami) land is going to appreciate. So if they take three years to do it, so be it."

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land where there is no water. (Psalm 63:1 NIV)
To me and to others, the Gethsemane Prayer Garden is more like a sanctuary than just a pretty garden. David continued in the second verse,
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory. (Psalm 63:2 NIV)
Truly, we don't need a prayer garden to experience God's power and glory – after all, David is reported to have been in the Judean Desert when he wrote these words, a land parched with just inches of rain in a year. Yet in the same way that David found a personal sanctuary in the desert, so this garden is offered as a sanctuary in a spiritual desert. The flowers help remind us that this is a special place, a meeting place with God.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you. (Psalm 63:3 NIV)
In the second verse, David was experiencing God's glory; now, in verse 3, David's presence with God's love has enabled him to turn this glory back to God. That's what this outdoor sanctuary can do: get our eyes off of the desert, get our eyes off of ourselves, and then give the glory back to our loving Lord.
End Note: The overall theme for this series of articles is flowers and plants, showing how they point to love. Sometimes I write 'how to' do something, other times the emphasis is a status update, or the article will be about how a plant or flower touched my heart. All of these writings are based on plants from the Gethsemane Prayer Garden in Syracuse, NY. Please consider some of the other blog articles: Index of Articles About the Gethsemane Prayer Garden.
