It may be a tale as old as time, but a Russian politician is calling for a ban of the new live action "Beauty and the Beast" film.
Conservative Russian MP Vitaly Milonov called the Disney film a "shameless propaganda of sin and perverted sexual relationships," according to a letter he wrote to Russia's culture minister that was obtained and published by Agence France-Presse.
Milonov reportedly wrote to Russia's culture minister asking him to take measures to ban the showing of the film.
The MP gained notoriety in 2013 as one of the chief proponents of Russia's law banning "gay propaganda," which bans the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual predispositions" that present "distorted ideas about the equal social value of traditional and non-traditional sexual relationships."
The law has been used as a pretext to ban gay pride events in Russia.
Bill Condon, the film's director, confirmed the film features Disney's first ever "gay moment" involving the villainous Gaston and his sidekick LeFou.
LeFou, played by Josh Gad, spends much of the film devoted to Gaston and towards the end is seen flirting with the villain and dancing with another male character.
The discussion of a gay moment or character led one Alabama drive-in theatre to cancel plans to show the movie.
"My salvation isn't about money, it's not about man, it's what God wants me to do," said Carol Laney, the owner of Henagar Drive-In Theatre, who hasn't yet seen the film.
Despite opposition, the film's actors say they're proud of the movie.
"Bill Condon did an amazing job of giving us an opportunity to create a version of LeFou that isn't like the original … but that makes him more human and makes him a wonderfully complex character to some extent," said Gad at the film's premiere on Thursday.
Audra McDonald, who plays Madame de Garderobe – an opera singer cursed into a wardrobe, says she's proud of the moment.
"I think that's so important because Disney is shining a light on the world that exists," she said.
Disney says the film will also feature romantic moments between two interracial couples, an on-screen first, and only the second time the studio has done so.

Syria's mainstream rebels risk total collapse after a Russian-backed regime advance that severed their main supply line to Aleppo city and threatens to leave them completely besieged there. Analysts said rebels and their international backers were left with few options to prevent fresh government advances, which came as fresh peace talks backed by the United Nations fell apart. "The trajectory for the rebels is downwards, and the downward slope is increasingly steep," said Emile Hokayem, senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

House subcommittee expected to repeal the Affordable Care Act's Medicare payment board
Skilled nursing providers and inpatient rehab facilities offer clashing views on Medicare payments
The House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Health is expected to vote Wednesday on legislation repealing the Affordable Care Act's controversial Medicare payment board.
The independent payment advisory board (IPAB), the repeal of which is supported by Democrats and Republicans in Congress, was created to control Medicare spending. The panel's recommendations would be contingent on approval by Congress.
Polls have showed, however, that the majority of Americans support IPAB. But providers have said they fear losing lobbying power over Medicare cuts. In a letter to members of the House committee, the American Medical Association said IPAB has far too little accountability to be charged with making major payment changes. Additionally, the association says the panel would compound problems caused by the physician pay formula.
"Instead of relying on another formula that imposes across-the-board cuts that we know do not work, members of Congress should be taking steps to strengthen Medicare for patients, physicians and taxpayers," AMA President Peter W. Carmel, M.D. said in a statement.

Examples of promethean in a Sentence
it is only through the efforts of a Promethean pioneer that an art form advances
Did You Know?
As some versions of the story go in Greek mythology, Prometheus (one of the Titan giants) modeled humans from clay and then taught them agriculture and all the arts of civilization. He also stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. So inventive was he that anything that bears the stamp of creativity and originality can still be called Promethean. Zeus, however, had wanted the human race to perish, so Prometheus' actions were also disobedient. Hence Promethean can also mean defiant of authority or limits. As punishment for his disobedience, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where an eagle daily tore at his liver. Thus, any suffering on a grand scale can also be called Promethean - though this sense is not as common as the others.

How People Stay Stupid & Democracies Fail
Photo From thepageantplanet.com
The concept of democracy is based on citizen responsibility because it is citizens who ostensibly choose their own leadership and by so doing the road they are choosing for their collective future. Yet real democracy is as scarce as a hen's tooth.
For the most part these pseudo democracies devolve into de facto oligarchies, which run candidates of supposedly different parties to prosecute their agenda, not those of the people. There always have been amongst us and always will be, people who are well liked and will try and leverage their electibility into attaining personal fortunes. And of course in almost all countries people with wealth can leverage it into influence and power with elected politicians.
All of this power comes at the expense of ordinary citizens. In a democracy all are equal, except those who are more equal. But a vigilant well informed citizenry does not have to surrender its political power to to elites. Yet they invariably do.
One way this happens is that most citizens are uninterested in and dis- engaged from the political processes of their countries. Frequently people who are engaged think of those who are more interested in football games and entertainment media as being stupid. Being uninterested in something doesn't make you stupid.
But it a structural weakness, (fault-line) in democratic systems that these people who have little to no engagement in the political processes of their times and little to no knowledge of the issues that their countries, or communities are facing have votes that count the same as those who do. Generally speaking if those who have no knowledge of, and have shown little concern for the collective issues of their time, decide to engage only on election day they only serve to distort and damage the political process. Without knowledge their votes will be cast mostly randomly, based on the personalities, and/ or looks of those presented to them, as well as how they do on sound bites, or how their favorite news broadcasters present them.
As power devolves a few Elites control the main political parties, whose leadership invariably represent them. They also control mainstream media. And that media controlled by a handful of corporations, (who may have interlocking ownerships) present a narrow range of acceptable debate between their news media ostensibly on one side and their media ostensibly on the other.
In reality both sides, (usually called "conservative" and "liberal") are acceptable to the elites or they would never be presented in the first place. The people who make the presentations are hired by how effective they are in selling the agendas of elites. They are paid to be attractive, like-able and viewed to be trustworthy so that those who are on the receiving end of what is in the end propaganda, are likely to imbibe it and digest it.
Those who do this well are paid a LOT of money. They can bring down salaries of hundreds of thousands per year into the millions. The reason for this, is that in the US for example 6 corporations control 90% of the media and all of the major ones. These are very big corporations and they have a LOT of money available to pay people, on their very own media to represent their interests, to the pubic well.
People who have little interest in the political processes of their democracy, no real knowledge of what the candidates stand for, what the important issues of their day are and only pay attention at election time, are extremely vulnerable to this process of the dissemination of what amounts to corporate propaganda.
There is a second group of people who are arguably worse than those who spend their time watching sporting events and entertainment channels. That is people who do get involved with the issues of their time, but ONLY as they are defined by the corporate media and a political system that has long since been bought out by the same corporate interests as well.
Since at least two sides are presented of allowably debatable issues, (anything outside the acceptable box is labelled "crackpot" "extreme" "dangerous" "unrealistic" etc.) people are encouraged to have heatedly opposing views on topics that will never effect the main issues of their day, war and peace, wealth and poverty etc.
Massive political heat over well chosen issues, creates the illusion of free speech. But the crucial thing is that the allowable narratives are set by the propaganda media.
It is understood by their corporate owners that the Ken and Barbie presenters of the "news" only have so much credibility. Some among their audience, (and sometimes opinion makers for the majority with a limited interest) want to hear the propaganda from "experts". And that is what Foundations and Institutes are for.
They are funded by the same people who own the media. And they are supposed to give the selling, (debating) points of one flavor of corporate media or another. When you hear a talking head bring in an "expert" and call him a Senior Fellow at the Brooking's institute that guy is making $175,000 per year to disseminate the propaganda of the corporations who fund Brookings.
Other Institutes and Foundations, like Heritage, Cato, American Enterprise etc. are not as open as Brookings, as to what they pay their propagandists, but we do know what their CEOs make, (hundreds of thousands to more than a million) and we can expect their top propagandists "experts" (who will strut their stuff on TV) to be paid salaries commensurate with Brookings or they can easily go and work on the other side of the fence.
These institutes and the media together form an integrated network intended to define the narratives of our times and effectively control the thought processes of the majority of people on public issues deemed of interest by those who own/ control these handful of corporations.
When people heatedly debate these manufactured and well controlled issues, they effectively spread propaganda and they don't even get paid for it. Then they vote for one candidate or another based on the support they give to one or another of these issues, which are either irrelevant or if they are relevant, once elected the candidate will do what his financiers tell him to do anyway, or he or she won't get the money necessary to ever run again, monies that will indeed go to their opponents.
When you meet people from this half educated but very politically involved group, you can know them instantly because their words will be essentially a rephrasing of the propaganda they have recently heard on their favorite mainstream media. These first two groups, uninvolved, and involved in the cloning and passing on of propaganda are the conduits for the Banker Corporate state. These are the people who have effectively surrendered their sovereignty, destroyed their democracy and paved the way for the oligarchs.
There is however an especially sad third group. Those are the ones who imbibe the media propaganda and know that something is wrong. That the things that are said frequently make no sense. are not going to lead to the social good but quite the opposite help to create disasters, poverty and unnecessary wars.
What makes this group so sad is that they almost got it, But in order to really get it they need to develop their own narrative. That is what we are trying to do here on Red Pill Views.
Instead of developing their own narrative however they spend endless time debating and arguing with the latest piece of propaganda they have just read or seen from what they KNOW is a media source that is controlled by a Mega Corporation. Either they don't put it together that what they are arguing against is propaganda or they actually debate propaganda.
Debating propaganda is at best like having an argument with a computer voice that answers your telephone telling you what buttons to push or words to say. The people who write or sell propaganda, (like Kens and Barbies) may not even believe a word of it. They are paid to do what they do and when they are good at it they are paid very well indeed.
All propaganda has an underlying narrative. When you debate propaganda you are staying on the page of that narrative, THEIR narrative, THEIR page, not your own.
People who debate or try to debunk propaganda, even if they have an out of the box view are also subtly supporting the propaganda and the narratives of the elites. In order to be free oneself, first one has to cut oneself off from propaganda altogether, like getting off of a drug. If you have to hear it or view it, look at it as propaganda. Never take it seriously, or engage with it intellectually or emotionally. If you do that you will be hooked in.
It would seem to me that a far better use of your time would be to create your own narrative of how you see the world around you. We can always learn by coordinating and/ or debating with others who have different unique and real narratives.
But there is nothing to be gained by debating with a programmed computer voice, or the local "conservative" or "liberal" TV channel or newspaper. The former is not conservative and the latter is not liberal. They both come from exactly the same source.
People who have taken the Red Pill have a view that goes beyond the propaganda programming of the elites. They have their own unique narrative. It is by developing those narratives and sharing them with others that they will learn. teach and grow.
That is what Red Pill Views is all about.

Hope Defeats Baldwin-Wallace, 69-53
March 7, 2009
Courtesy of Baldwin-Wallace Athletics
BEREA, OHIO - Sophomore All-American center Carrie Snikkers scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds as the #2-ranked Hope College women's basketball team defeated Baldwin-Wallace College, 69-53, in a second round NCAA Division III National Tournament game tonight (Saturday, March 7, 2009) in the DeVos Fieldhouse in Holland, Michigan. The Flying Dutch victory marked the second straight year that Hope eliminated B-W in the second round of the NCAA tourney.
In addition to Snikkers, sophomore guard Philana Greene scored 15 points and sophomore forward Erika Bruinsma came off the bench to score 13 markers for Hope, now 27-1 overall, including 19 straight wins. The Flying Dutch now advance to the Sectional/ third round next weekend at a site and against an opponent yet to be determined. In addition, Hope now leads the all-time series with B-W, 4-2, including 2-1 in NCAA tournament contests. Hope also is 60-1 all-time at the DeVos Center
B-W, which ends its season at 22-8 overall, was led by senior All-Ohio Athletic Conference guard Rachael Quiring (Brunswick/ Parma Heights/ Holy Name) with a career-high 21 points, including an eight-of-eight effort at the foul line. In addition, junior All-OAC and Academic All-OAC center Ariel Brough (Powell/ Olentangy-Liberty) had her second straight double-double with 15 points and a career-high-tying 15 rebounds. Despite its loss, B-W had its 12th 20-win season in the last 13 years. The Yellow Jackets also are 11-11 all-time in NCAA tourney play.
In the first half, the Flying Dutch jumped out to a 7-0 lead at the 16:34 mark when Snikkers rebounded a missed shot and scored. B-W finally got on the board at the 16:06 mark when sophomore backup guard Courtney Ritzler (Fostoria/ Hopewell-Loudon) made one of two foul shots to make the score 7-1.
Hope continued to build its lead to 14-1 at the 13:43 mark with another 7-0 run that was culminated by a three-pointer by sophomore forward Erika Bruisma. B-W then went on its own 9-0 run to close to 14-10 at the 11:07 mark when Brough made a jump shot. B-W followed with a 7-4 run, capped by a three-pointer by Quiring, to cut the lead to 18-17 with 9:19 left. It also ended a 16-4 Yellow Jacket surge. Undaunted, the Dutch made two straight three-pointers to regain a seven-point lead at 24-17 with 7:12 left.
After the teams traded baskets for a 26-19 score, B-W went on a 5-0 run to close to 26-24 with 3:08 left when sophomore backup guard Carrie Ritzler (Fostoria/ Hopewell-Loudon) made one of two free throws. Hope then went on a 7-0 run to build its lead back to nine points at 33-24 with 1:07 left when Greene made a basket, was fouled and made the foul shot. B-W countered with a 4-0 run, all on foul shots by Quiring to get within 33-28 with 13 seconds left, but a pair of foul shots by Hope made the score 35-28 at halftime.
In the second half, B-W closed to within six points on two separate occassions with the last being at 39-33 with 17:47 left when Quiring made two more free throws. Hope then went on a 10-0 run to take control of the game and build a double-digit lead of 16 points at 49-33 with 14:07 left when Greene made one of two foul shots. Hope then went on to increase its lead to 21 points on two separate occassions and coasted to the win.

I like your description "what works and what doesn't". I agree, that is truly 'faith based on evidence.'

Latest twist in Radlett freight depot saga could put pressure on Colnbrook SIFE appeal
The lastest twist in the ten year impasse over a proposed rail freight interchange in Hertfordshire could add pressure for the massive SIFE development in Colnbrook to be approved.
Hertfordshire County Council is considering a 2,000-home 'garden village' as an alternative to allowing the freight depot, despite planning permission already being granted on appeal. The ploy could remove a key objection to the rival Slough International Freight Exchange (SIFE) development in Colnbrook – that the Radlett facility could more than meet the demand.
In December 2013 Hertfordshire County Council, which owns part of the land sought by developer Helioslough, announced it would refuse to sell. The decision ignored the advice of experts who had noted the Council's "fiduciary duty to its taxpayers" following former Secretary of State Eric Pickles' minded to approve decision.
Now, follows the council's decision to actively seek alternative uses for the 119-hectare former gravel pit site, an approach has been made by developer Taylor Wimpey. The house builder proposes creating a new "garden village development" of 2,000 homes. And that could sit nicely with another Government policy.
The development would include community services, a primary school, allotments, employment facilities, and potentially a park and ride scheme, new station and guided bus or light railway. The scheme could fit the criteria for one of the Government's flagship policies – 12 new garden villages of between 1,500 to 10,000 homes around the country.
An initial report, which be discussed by a Herts' cabinet panel on Monday.
Helioslough remains "absolutely committed" to progressing the freight interchange and is preparing to submit an offer for the land. Herts, however, says its prime duty is to the residents of Hertfordshire and the council remained opposed to the proposed freight depot.
Council leader Cllr Robert Gordon told the Hertfordshire Advertiser:
"We would prefer not to see a change in the current green belt status of this land and would also prefer not to sell it. However, it is possible that circumstances might arise where we have no lawful alternative but to sell.
"We therefore actively contacted developers to see if any alternative uses could be found for the land which would achieve at least the equivalent value as a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange."
St Albans MP Anne Main, who has called in the past for the freight depot to be built in Colnbrook, has said that anything would better than the freight interchange and believes residents would rather see a garden village built on the site.
However, protest group STRiFE – Stop The Rail Freight Exchange have expressed opposition.
In April the long awaited decision on September's appeal into SIFE was delayed by the Government until after the Local Elections on 5th May – although nobody seriously believes that the decision is not intertwined with the pending decision on a Third Runway through the same site. And that, as we know, is on hold pending the Tory leadership election on Friday, 9th September.

Surveillance images show woman robbing CVS Pharmacy
Surveillance images show woman robbing CVS Pharmacy
OMAHA, Neb. —
Surveillance video shows an Omaha store being robbed in broad daylight by a thief driving a minivan.
A woman is seen pulling up to the CVS Pharmacy at 49th and Dodge streets around 10 a.m. Friday.
She walks in and heads straight to the counter, where she pulls out a note that demands money.
The clerk gives it to her and the woman leaves the store and drives off.
The thief is about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds.
She's described as having dark blond hair, was wearing an Aeropostale hooded sweatshirt, rolled up blue jeans and flip-flops.
The woman was driving an older green minivan.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867.

The RINOS in the Senate and House should take Scott Walker's example of how to show some brass balls.
Leftists need to simplify the voter fraud process, so setbacks like this one and the ones in Colorado don't happen to them again.
I kinda like the word 'decertified' following the word 'union'.
This is an excellent start! Goes to show how the minority crazy lefties have found so many ways to control major institutions. Nice to see it stopped in this case.
Who-hoo! Excellent! Defund those commies!
I wouldn't necessarily celebrate. The teachers may be switching to a union that has more muscle.
Another article on the de-certification of the Kenosha teachers' union. Keep in mind, the teachers de-certified this union themselves, something their union will want to blame on Walker.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Will they be laid off now?...
Many Wisconsin teachers I know are happy they no longer have to pay union dues. But, they dare not talk too publicly in the teachers lounge or the hard-core union ones get snippy.
A lot of "saying " going on. This is long overdue for any kind of union. When a union has been in place so long that none of the current members were born when it was certified-—it's time for a re-vote. One year might be too often but five years to re-certify is certainly appropriate. It's the only way to keep the bosses working for the workers instead of the democrats.
Was just reading Volkswagen is about to go UAW in Tennessee.
Can we use this word decertified with Obama and kick his a$$ out?
The wife then mentioned that they both were going to have the entire Summer off and hoped to travel back to Europe again.
The husband lamented that their BMW needed some routine service.
Both husband and wife were teachers in a Brown County high school. Both thought it was downright evil that they would have to pay anything for their health care or retirement.
At the time, I was working 7 days a week. The closest I came to a "vacation" was taking my dad for treatment at MD Anderson in Texas.
This is amazing!

In a move that shows exactly how savvy politicians have to be - US presidential hopeful Barrack Obama has targeted gamers with his latest campaign.
The Illinois senator is believed to be the first ever candidate for the top US job to place ads in online video games.
With the election getting ever closer, Obama has put ads in 18 games through Microsoft Corp's Xbox Live service.
The games include Guitar Hero 3, The Incredible Hulk, NASCAR 09, NBA Live 08 and NFL Tour.
They promote his online voter registration and early balloting drive in 10 battleground states - Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Montana, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, New Mexico, Florida and Colorado.
"The 18-to-34-year-old male is the mainstream demographic for the hard-core video gamer", said Van Baker, an analyst for Gartner to Reuters. "They're hard to get to because they don't watch much TV and they don't read a lot, so it's a good venue to get that segment."

Philadelphia Honey Festival
The Philadelphia Honey Festival was such a great way to end the summer with a bang. Honey Fest is always a rad way to educate Philly's citizens about local honey and the new trend of urban beekeeping. This year I volunteered all 3 days at the Philly Bee Guild's honey tent, selling not only Manayunk Farm honey but other "city limit" honey as well as honey from Montgomery county, New Jersey and Maryland.
It was such a rewarding feeling to have Manayunk Farm honey being sold, knowing all the work that had gone into it, the bees, the extraction, the bottling and labeling. As if it couldn't have gotten better, alongside other very popular honeys out for taste testing, our honey was consistently people's favorite. Our honey sold out in a day.
I can't thank everyone enough for helping to make all our work worth while and I hope to see everyone (again) at honey fest next year.

A classic recipe for Muhammara, a roasted red pepper spread with a spicy, sweet, tangy, garlicky, and smoky flavor.
Author: Lands & Flavors
4 red bell peppers (roasted, peeled, and seeded)
2 cloves garlic
┬Š cup walnuts
┬Į cup bread crumbs
┬Į cup parsley
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons pomegranate molasses
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1┬Į teaspoons red pepper flakes or ┬Į teaspoon cayenne pepper
black pepper, to taste
Place the peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle lightly with some oil. Put the tray into a hot oven (450┬░F) or under the broiler until the peppers' skins blister and darken. When the peppers are roasted, remove from the oven, place them into a bowl, and cover it for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes the skins will have loosened. Remove the skins and all of the seeds--you only want the flesh of the peppers.
Put the roasted peppers into a food processor with the garlic and pur├®e until smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and blend just until smooth.
Taste the muhammara for seasoning and serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
-You can use jarred roasted peppers. Just rinse the brine off of them and proceed with the recipe.
-Make it as spicy as you want by adding more cayenne pepper or leave it out entirely for a mild muhammara.

Although the 70-year-old president used to own the franchise, which includes Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA, he no longer has involvement with the program and hasn't for several years.
According to Variety, Donald sold the rights to WME/IMG for an undisclosed amount back in September 2015.
Prior to the sale, NBC, the network which had aired the show, severed ties with the organization due to Donald's offensive comments about Mexican immigrants.
Miss Universe will air on FOX on Sunday (January 29) at 7 PM EST.

Canned pumpkin is a fabulous convenience food that's really good for you. Be sure to read labels when you buy it - you want only pumpkin in the ingredient list, with perhaps some seasonings. Don't try to substitute pumpkin pie filling for canned pumpkin in these recipes because it won't work.

Background: Shrews are tiny mammals that weigh only a few grams. They are found in cold climates like Canada, northern Europe, and Russia, despite their small size. These little critters have extremely high metabolisms requiring them to eat every couple of hours. This means they cannot hibernate through the winter. Rather than putting on fat in the winter like bears, they actually lose body mass.
The graph below shows a scatter plot of shrew body mass verses metabolic rate. Metabolic rate is a measure of how much energy an animal uses to stay alive and go about its daily activities. The dark dots show shrews that were measured in the summer, and the light dots are ones measured in the winter.
Data Source: https://mjmerrick.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/shrews-just-have-to-be-differ...
1. Describe what the graph shows about how shrew body mass relates to metabolic rate.
2. Why do you think the shrews tend to have smaller bodies in the winter than the summer?

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by rightguardsport, Dec 2, 2008.
Is it safe to install a PAL Mario Kart Channel to a wiikey'd NTSC Wii?
My gut says yes, but my gut also says "Why would you want to?"
I dont think it will hurt your wii. Dont know if the channel will work though.
I'm curious as to why you have a PAL mario kart. But it should be safe to install, but you might not be able to play it unless you use starfall or something like that.
I've had the PAL version since release since it came out before the NTSC version.
mario kart channel is bollox anyway, i wouldn't even waste blocks for it.

Pentasa - I took pentesa for a month and a half passed blood stomac bloted out twice its size now?

Responses (2)
If you look at the common side effects listed on Pentasa here on DC, Drugs A-Z you will see that all of your symptoms are common with the drug. Unless you experience a life-altering, unusual, permanent, side effect, you would not be compensated for your pain. They have covered themselves by giving you a printout of the side effects when you purchased the prescription and by posting the side effects on several web sites, including fda.gov. Even if you were to try to get compensation for pain, it would be a VERY expensive, long, drawn out ordeal (3-10 years). The drug companies have far better, and more attorneys than any of us could ever hope for. So, we consumers are, once again, left with no alternative. I would, however, recommend that you go onto the fda.gov website and report the issues you have had. FDA collects the stats on each of the drugs, and if far too many consumers are having the same problems, they will look at either pulling the drug or requiring more research by the drug company. Just a suggestion. I'm sorry you are in pain and miserable. I hope you feel better soon.
When did you see the doctor? Your response sounds like internal bleeding and is very serious. If you are well now and have seen the doctor, what was your diagnosis?
Med's have side effects. If due to this medication, it should be reported and the doctor should also report this.
Do hope that you are better. K

As one of South Africa's biggest cities, you can expect a night to remember in Johannesburg. With cinemas, theatres, gourmet restaurants and clubs, Joburg's nightlife has something for everyone, whether you are visiting for business or leisure. Due to the city's warm climate, many of the bars feature rooftop decks that offer breathtaking views of the city's skyline.
Popular spots in Johannesburg
- Taboo - This glamorous nightclub is said to be one of the best in South Africa. Here you will find top DJs playing on the rooftop pool deck and in the gilded club rooms, which both offer breathtaking views of the Sandton skyline.
- Movida - An opulent Moulin-rouge themed club that was voted one of the top 18 design-inspired clubs by New York's Black Book Magazine. Movida has a club as well as a cocktail bar, theater and cabaret lounge.
- Montecasino - A sprawling leisure complex with cinemas, bowling alleys, restaurants, theaters, cabaret bars, cocktail bars, nightclubs, a grand casino and more. Montecasino is just a 20-minute taxi journey away from the hotel.
The Radisson Blu Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg is ideally located for those looking to make the most of the city's nightlife. The hotel is in the heart of Sandton and close to Rivonia - the two areas of Johannesburg that are associated with glamorous bars and upmarket clubs. It's also a relaxing place to rejuvenate after a late night, the Planet Fitness Platinum offers a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and hot flow yoga. The hotel is only a 5-minute drive from Taboo, 15 minutes from Movida and 20 minutes from Montecasino.

Check out what's the base-line for free delivery, always helps to help an offer on top of another offer:)
DON'T: Wait for too long, hoping you'd get another offer on top of a current offer coupled with another X offer. Truth is there're so many products out there when first launched on sale/offer that you don't want to leave others to get away with the right sizes leaving you out of options, there's no tailoring shop down the corner to make those knock-out jeans fit overnight:) If there's anything I've learned for good in the past years of savvy saving: if there's something out there that has caught your eye on, don't just let it go assuming 'if it's meant to be yours it'll stay' – the sale might (for some more extra days) but the right product – unlikely!

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Students from each of Stamford's three public high schools were named 2016 Merit Scholars.
Academy of Information Technology & Engineering graduate Tanusri Balla was named a $2,500 National Merit Scholar. Balla is also a U.S. Presidential Scholar.
Stamford High School graduate Matthew Sieh and Westhill High School graduate Nicole Smina were named as college-sponsored Merit Scholars.
National Merit $2,500 Scholarship winners are the finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
The number of winners in each state is proportional to the state's percentage of the nation's graduating high school seniors.
College-sponsored Merit Scholars are among the more than 800 additional winners of National Merit Scholarships that are financed by colleges and universities.
Officials of each sponsor college selected its scholarship winners from among the Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program who will attend their institution.
College-sponsored awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship.
"Achieving this level of distinction is a testament to the hard work, commitment and intellect of these students," said SPS Superintendent Earl Kim. "To have a student from each of our high schools earn this high honor is a reflection not only of the high caliber students here but also of the supportive families, dedicated staff, challenging curriculum, and commitment to excellence in all of Stamford's schools."
According to NMSC, all winners were chosen from a pool of more than 15,000 finalists and are considered to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in college.
The scholars are selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors.
This year's competition for National Merit Scholarships began in October 2014 when over 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools took the Preliminary sat/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (psat/nmsqt), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.
Last fall, the highest-scoring participants in each state, representing less than one percent of the nation's high school seniors, were named Semifinalists on a state-representational basis.
Only these 16,000 Semifinalists had an opportunity to continue in the competition. From the Semifinalist group, 15,000 students met the very high academic standards and other requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition.
By the conclusion of the 2016 program, about 7,500 Finalists will have earned the "Merit Scholar" title and received a total of about $33 million in college scholarships.

What's the Latest Development?
You may know that computer performance has doubled roughly every 18 months since the 1970s, but computers' energy efficiency has also been doubling. "To put the matter concretely, if a modern-day MacBook Air operated at the energy efficiency of computers from 1991, its fully charged battery would last all of 2.5 seconds." This trend of increased efficiency has enabling ultra-low power computing. The University of Washington, for example, has developed wireless no-battery senors which harvest background energy from stray television and radio signals.
What's the Big Idea?
Because such senors are so efficient, they typically do not need an external power source, surviving on their harvesting abilities alone. These sensors will transform our ability to collect data on everything from transactions to energy flows. Long-term increases in energy efficiency promise to revolutionize how we gather an compute data, bringing to life 'an Internet of things'. "It will enable us to control industrial processes with more precision, to assess the results of our actions quickly and effectively, and to rapidly reinvent our institutions and business models to reflect new realities."

All cells use organelles called mitochondria to produce energy to sustain normal cellular functions. The mechanisms of photobiomodulation by far red to near infrared light at the cellular level have been ascribed to the activation of mitochondrial function.
More specifically, cytochrome C oxidase, a critical protein involved in regulation of mitochondrial activity has been shown to be a key photoacceptor of light in the far red to near infrared spectral range.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment results in improved energy generation and restoration of metabolic function.

20% Off All Paperback Editions: Use Discount Code TCP2018
Edited by: Frank Serafini, Elisabeth Gee
Publication Date: July 14, 2017
Pages: 224
Series: Language and Literacy Series
Bringing together renowned scholars in literacy education, this volume offers the first comprehensive account of the evolution and future of multiliteracies pedagogy. This groundbreaking collection examines the rich contributions of the New London Group (NLG)—an international gathering of noted scholars who met in 1996 and influenced the direction of literacy scholarship for decades to come. With a focus on design and multimodality as key concerns in literacy pedagogy, these ideas have become even more salient as literacy has become intertwined with digital technologies. The essays in this book not only provide an overview of the fundamental ideas of NLG and their importance across literacy, communications, and media studies, but also explore how these concepts have been adapted by today's educators to better prepare students for a rapidly changing, globalized world.
Book Features:
Frank Serafini is a professor of literacy education and children's literature at Arizona State University. Visit his website at www.frankserafini.com. Elisabeth Gee is a professor and the Delbert & Jewell Lewis Chair in Reading and Literacy at Arizona State University.
"There is a plethora of critical, provocative, and forward-thinking ideas in Remixing Multileracies."
— Teachers College Record
"Remixing Multiliteracies offers a significant re-voicing and advancing of the social, political, and pedagogic significance of the multiliteracies agenda by some of the original New London Group members—aligned scholars of international repute and emerging academics. This book warrants deep engagement by teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and all who are concerned with schooling and social justice in the ever-changing world of the 21st century."
—Len Unsworth, research director of Educational Semiotics in English and Literacy Pedagogy at Learning Sciences Institute Australia
"This collection showcases authors at the leading edge of multiliteracies research and scholarship. It provides a fascinating and accessible state-of-the art assessment of a major approach to understanding literacy practices in the digital era."
— Michele Knobel, Montclair State University

You may still be in the hospital, or perhaps you just got home and you are getting settled. You are going the bathroom and spraying yourself down with warm water to dilute the urine to keep the pain tolerable, and you gently pat yourself dry…
And then you realize, something is there that wasn't there before.
If you were in a blissful haze of stool softeners and peri bottles while in the hospital, getting home and finding your bottom sore and, well, poufy, will not be an easy moment.
They may not get talked about, but hemorrhoids are a common occurrence after giving birth. The same muscles that are engaged when having a bowel movement are the muscles that are used in the pushing phase of labor.
Hemorrhoids are stretched and swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum.
But the reality of hemorrhoids doesn't sink in until you are home and you are finally alone for a minute and you find swollen tissue around your anus and you don't know what to do about it.
What do you do for hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids can heal. To ease the pain while they are healing, you can sit or soak in a warm tub. Witch hazel can be applied to pads or gauze, and placed on the affected areas (witch hazel is also commonly used to help with discomfort in a woman perineum while healing from an episiotomy wound).
Your health care provider can also suggest a topical hemorrhoid medication.
To help keep bowels soft and regular, and thus, keeping strain to a minimum (ie: pain to a minimum) eating a diet rich in fiber is important.
Want to chat with other Calgary moms about your postpartum or pregnancy experience? There's a Facebook Group for that!
Quick bullets for hemorrhoid care:
- Refrain from straining while having a bowel movement by keeping stool soft and regular
- Ask your care provider for a stool softener if you are not able to manage stool pain through a diet high in fiber (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains)
- Drink plenty of water
- Soak in warm baths and apply witch hazel topically while healing
- If sitting is uncomfortable, roll a blanket or towel and place under one side of your bottom, relieving any direct pressure
Healing after birth takes time, and for some women, it is just a huge pain in the butt!

Snake Prevention and Management
Ophiophobia – the fear of snakes. I am frightened of snakes. Seeing a snake stops me in my tracks, leaves my heart pounding and scarcely breathing while my eyes are fixed on the reptile at hand. Being someone who has made a living working outside much of my life, snakes are a not a rare thing in my day-to-day activities, but I still prefer to avoid them. During this first week of June, I received my fill of snakes.
Just one day this past weekend found me relocating a five foot black snake only to have it return an hour later. A sharp stream of water persuaded it to stop climbing up to our hummingbird feeder. At the same time I was hooking up the hose, I came face-to-face with a garter snake in our window well with a toad halfway in its mouth.
I berated the garter snake for eating a beneficial toad, but he was too busy using the side of the window well to shove the toad in his mouth to notice my insults. I left him to his meal.
Despite my own misplaced ophiophobia, snakes are incredibly beneficial and misunderstood.
The typical diet for our Midwestern snakes is insects, worms, and other rodents. Snakes do not cause damage to plants and they cannot chew or makes holes, but instead take advantage of existing openings in structures.
Snakes rarely bite humans. Should you be bitten by a non-venomous snake it feels akin to being slapped as their teeth are not long enough to cause any harm.Venomous snakes are rare in Illinois and they vary depending on your location in the state. In total we have four species of venomous snakes: Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Massasauga, and Timber rattlesnake. These are easy to distinguish with their distinct viper head shape, which can be likened to arrowhead-shaped. Non-venomous snake's head transition smoothly to their body.
The reason snakes are present is because the habitat is conducive to their needs. Following are tips to modify habitat to discourage the presence of snakes:
- Replace loose rock walls. Snakes like to crawl in or behind stone that help keep their cold-blooded bodies warm. Replace loose stone walls with tight fitting concrete block or timbers.
- Keep plant material short. Long grassy weeds provide good cover for many animals including snakes. Staying on top of mowing will leave snakes more open to predation which they will tend to avoid.
- Remove or relocate other debris such as piles of rocks, bricks, brush, or wood.
- Repellents such as mothballs or sprays do not work. The only item shown to deter snakes is sharp lava rock. Place lava rock adjacent to structures to prevent snakes from basking near that building. According to University of Nebraska Extension lava rock should be 2- to 3-feet wide and 5- to 6-inches deep.
- Fencing or screening with holes less than ¼-inch keep snakes out.
- Caulk and seal openings greater than ¼-inch in foundation and siding. Remember snakes cannot chew; any kind of caulking will work.
- Caulk or seal joints and seams around outdoor steps or patios.
- Remove birdseed feeders during the spring and summer. Birds can easily find their own food in during spring and summer. Birdseed attracts rodent pests, which in turn draw in snakes.

On 19 August, Pedal Like Jesse!
FNF Philippines' "It's all about Freedom" campaign shall once again pedal its way to an activity that would encourage the wider public to take a proactive role on the discussion of freedom, this time, highlighting innovation through the development of smart cities.
Developing a smart city involves the use of technology and modern designs to improve mobility, urban planning and citizen participation. With many cities facing exponential growth in terms of population and technology-usage, challenges such as environmental management and traffic congestion should be addressed. Nonetheless, there are also opportunities that can be tapped in these fast-paced times. Modern mobility, innovative disruption, business promotion and civic engagement are the bright spots that FNF would like to seize. Together with empowered citizenry and proactive governments, policy reforms and initiatives to develop smart cities will be more effective and sustainable.
Together with the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines and the Naga City Local Government and Kaya Natin, FNF Philippines will hold the Freedom Cycle on 19 August in Naga City. It will be an interactive biking event. In approximately 24 km route, cyclists will assemble and participate in a program that will take place in Naga City Hall Grounds, before they could proceed to the race.This event will also celebrate Naga City's iconic leader, the late Secretary of Interior and Local Government, and their very own Mayor, Jesse Robredo, on his 5th death anniversary. This will serve as a commemoration of his leadership that was uniquely characterized by his yearning for innovation and for people empowerment.
In the pursuit to sustain and elevate the initiatives that Sec. Jesse started, this event will highlight Naga City as a trailblazer for innovation in local governance. Some of its known best practices in local governance are in the areas of E-governance ("i-governance"- TextServe, Netserve, ICT-DEV), transportation and mobility (Integrated Naga River Revitalization Project, Intra-City Transport and Road Network Development Program (INTRONET), Resolution No. 2014-128: Taxicles), and climate change resiliency (RA 8749: Clean Air Act, Ordinance No. 2011-039) that led to the city's improved finances, transparency in administrative work, and efficient delivery of services on an environment friendly manner to the Nagueños.
"We would like to keep Sec. Jesse's legacy of innovation alive in Naga City. We are currently pushing for policies that provide alternative mode of transportation that are eco-friendly, economical and safe for Nagueños," says Councilor Ray-an Rentoy.
The Freedom Cycle hopes to support Naga City and other LGUs around the Philippines, that are on their way to becoming smart cities. "As a non-profit organization that promotes freedom and democracy, FNF continues to recognize local initiatives and policies that are replicable and sustainable. The Freedom Cycle is one way to raise awareness and gather like-minded individuals who can be partners to push for these initiatives," expressed Mr. Wolfgang Heinze, Country Director of FNF Philippines.
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation in a German non-profit organization that promotes good governance, human rights, responsible environmental stewardship, rule of law and economic freedom.
Registration is free! It will be open from 17 July - 17 August at the Naga City Sports Office, Office of Vice President Leni Robredo and Office of Councilor Ray-an Rentoy (Naga City Hall). For more details and updates about the event, please get in touch with our local partners (Office of Councilor Rentoy) or visit our website www.philippines.fnst.org and FNF Philippines' social media pages.
