Gary Owen's Wife Believes That He Cheated With a Friend of Claudia Jordan's
Mar. 23 2021, Updated 12:00 p.m. ET
Another day, another celebrity cheating scandal to unpack. While it seems that relationships come and go in the Hollywood circuit, it's always sad to see a marriage dismantle. And while there are plenty of reasons why marriages crumble, cheating is almost always the main culprit.
When it comes to stand-up comedian Gary Owen and his wife Kenya Duke, it looks like Gary is allegedly guilty of stepping out on his marriage.
Rumors have been running rampant that the comedian has stepped out with a friend of Claudia Jordan. And while Kenya is adamant that Claudia is fully aware of the cheating scandal at hand, Claudia has been saying otherwise.
Now, fans are wondering who exactly Claudia is and how she actually fits into this messy puzzle. Here's everything we know.
So, who is Claudia Jordan?
It's always a first when a celebrity is supposedly linked to a mistress. And while Claudia has been in the spotlight for a number of years, she has never found herself in the middle of a cheating scandal. However, there is a first time for everything.
Claudia Jordan is an accomplished entrepreneur. She is a model, actress, talk show host, and radio television personality. And if you're a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, she also held a peach on Season 7 of the show.
While Claudia is friends with Gary, she refuses to take responsibility for being friends with his mistress. In fact, the host took to Instagram Live to clear her name of any accusations.
In the Instagram Live session, Claudia admits that she and Gary have had a 20-year friendship. She also shared that this whole situation is stupid and false. "The fact that I am being dragged into this is stupid and just not true," she said.
Claudia also got candid about Gary's wife Kenya pulling her into the drama and wanting to speak with her so they could talk woman-to-woman. That conversation has yet to happen.
Claudia continues to uphold that she had nothing to do with the demise of Gary and Kenya's marriage.
"I have nothing to do with whatever is the reason for their divorce...sometimes people just break up," she said.
Gary has not spoken out about the rumors of his cheating.
While the rumors about Gary stepping out on Kenya during their marriage of over 20 years persist, the comedian has been silent on the matter.
Usually, you can expect men in the industry to address any rumors about them when it comes to their marriage, but Gary continues to be tight-lipped.
And while he may be deciding to remain mum on the issue so that he can handle this situation behind closed doors and possibly save his marriage, many fans want answers.
After all, many men have been exposed this week alone for cheating on their significant others in the Hollywood world.
That said, the news has taken social media by storm. Many fans simply don't believe that Gary would step out, while others are not too surprised at the revelation.
Despite all the back and forth, it is sad to see a breakup. And we sincerely hope that Gary and Kenya are able to rekindle their marriage.

As was noted in the first part of this post, on February 27th the BBC's local station Radio Lancashire used the occasion of the publication of a report on the same morning by Amnesty International to provide a platform for a political activist associated with Amnesty and the Hamas-linked ISM to promote anti-Israel propaganda.
Later the same afternoon, a written report unequivocally titled "Israeli troops 'using excessive force' in West Bank" appeared on the Middle East page of the BBC News website. The 743 word article (including sub-headings and photo captions) is composed of 421 words presenting Amnesty International's views and supporting information added by the BBC, 148 words presenting the IDF's response to the AI report and 153 words describing an unrelated incident which took place in Bir Zeit on February 27th in which a wanted PFLP terrorist was killed.
In addition to its extensive quotations from the AI report – which relates exclusively to incidents in Judea & Samaria – the BBC article adds some extra context-free information of its own which does nothing to clarify to readers the fact that the latter half of 2013 saw a sharp rise in Palestinian terror attacks.
"According to the UN, 27 West Bank Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces last year, nine more than the totals in 2011 and 2012 combined.
Nine Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were reportedly killed by Israeli forces in 2013, while Palestinians killed three Israeli civilians and three Israeli security forces personnel in Israel and the West Bank."
The BBC article provides a link to the AI report and states:
"Amnesty documented the killings of 22 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank last year, of which it said at least 14 were connected to protests. In all of the cases, those killed did not appear to have posed a direct and immediate threat to life, it said." [emphasis added]
" "The frequency and persistence of arbitrary and abusive force against peaceful protesters in the West Bank by Israeli soldiers and police officers – and the impunity enjoyed by perpetrators – suggests that it is carried out as a matter of policy," Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa Director Philip Luther said." [emphasis added]
Clearly, BBC audiences are being herded towards acceptance of a paradigm of non-threatening 'peaceful protest' by Palestinians and excessive use of force by Israeli security forces, which is a hallmark of the AI report itself. But just how many of those 'peaceful protests' were actually as Amnesty and the BBC are trying to portray them?
The Amnesty International report is notable for the fact that the cases it profiles rely upon anecdotal evidence provided by family and friends of the deceased, along with information gathered from various media outlets and politically motivated NGOs. Some of those cases were also reported by the BBC during 2013.
The Oxford dictionary defines a protest as "[a]n organized public demonstration expressing strong objection to an official policy or course of action" and a peaceful protest is obviously one which does not include violent acts on behalf of the protesters. However, examination of examples of the cases highlighted by Amnesty International shows that many of those incidents were neither protests nor peaceful.
The AI report includes the case of Mutaz Sharawnah who was killed on July 2nd 2013 in Dura. As a BBC report on the incident stated at the time: [emphasis added]
"Moataz Sharawna, 19, died after being shot and, according to Palestinians, subsequently hit by an army vehicle.
It followed confrontations between stone-throwing youths and soldiers in the village of Dura, south of the city of Hebron.
The Israel military said it was investigating the circumstances of Mr Sharawna's death.
A military spokeswoman confirmed that a young Palestinian man was shot.
"Palestinians hurled stones at security forces, which responded with crowd-control measures," the spokeswoman said.
A Palestinian witness told the BBC that Mr Sharawna had been throwing stones and then climbed on top of an Israeli army jeep.
He said that soldiers fired at him and he was then run over by another army vehicle."
Clearly Sharawnah was not participating in 'peaceful protest' at the time of his death, but in a violent riot.
Another case profiled in the AI report is that of an incident on August 26th 2013 in Qalandiya in which three Palestinians were killed – Jihad Aslan, Yunes Jahjouh and Rubin Abdal Rahman Zayed. During that incident, Border Policemen trying to arrest a terror suspect were attacked by some 1,500 rioters with rocks and fire-bombs. Video footage of what Amnesty International (and apparently the BBC) would have members of the public believe was a non-threatening 'peaceful protest' can be seen here.
An additional case appearing in the AI report also took place in August 2013 when Israeli forces attempting to arrest a terror suspect in Jenin were attacked by a mob and Majd Lahlouh and Karim Abu Sbeih were killed. As the BBC reported at the time: [emphasis added]
" "During the [raid], shots were fired at the forces and improvised explosive devices and rocks were hurled at the security personnel, injuring two soldiers," a military spokeswoman told AFP news agency.
The military said troops returned fire, killing the Palestinian and wounding the others."
Seemingly then, AI's definition of a 'peaceful protest' includes one at which shooting takes place and of course it should be noted that – according to Amnesty's claim uncritically repeated by the BBC – shots fired and IEDs thrown at soldiers apparently do not constitute "a direct and immediate threat to life".
Two additional names appearing in the AI report are those of Naji Balbesi and Amer Nassar who were killed on April 3rd 2013 when they attacked an army post near Einav with fire-bombs.
The AI report also includes the case of Hamas operative Mahmoud Adel Fares al Titi who was killed on March 12th 2013 in al Fawar when soldiers in pursuit of suspects who had thrown petrol-bombs at Israeli motorists on Route 60 were attacked by rioters with rocks and Molotov cocktails when their vehicle broke down. Video footage of that 'peaceful protest' can be seen here and here.
Those familiar with Amnesty International's long-standing anti-Israel campaigning and its dubious modus operandi will of course not be surprised to see its politically motivated misrepresentation of violent riots and deliberate attacks on security personnel as 'peaceful protest' carried out by Palestinians armed only with placards. The BBC, however, should – in theory at least – be a different kettle of fish
Embarrassingly though, its eager self-conscription to the promotion and amplification of the political messaging which underlies the Amnesty International report has apparently caused the BBC to forget that it has previously reported on several of the violent incidents which form the basis of a deeply flawed and blatantly political report supposedly pertaining to Palestinians killed at 'peaceful protests'.

Theater Students Attend St. Louis Conference
Seven Northern Michigan University students attended the U.S. Institute for Theatre Technology's Annual Conference & Stage Expo March 8-11 in St. Louis, Mo. The group was led by Assistant Professor David Pierce, who said USITT is the technical theater industry's "largest and most respected conference." Students attended sessions and workshops led by some of the industry's leading professionals and talked with exhibitors about the latest innovations and services.
"In addition to the conference, I arranged for them to get a backstage tour and have a Q&A session with the national touring company of Cabaret, which was in town at the Fox Theatre," said Pierce, technical director and production manager for the Forest Roberts Theatre. "One student was also allowed to shadow the stage manager as he called the show that evening. It was a great experience for our students to get an idea of what it's like to work on a professional tour and how to find employment after graduation."
The trip was supported by student travel funds provided through the NMU Foundation. In a thank-you letter on behalf of the group, theater and entertainment arts student Anna LaBreche described the conference as a wonderful, hands-on learning opportunity.
"We were able to talk to professional theater companies such as Cirque du Soleil and gain knowledge of different unions within the theater world," LaBreche wrote. "We networked with businesses, not only to learn about products that our theater owns or could own, but also to learn of possible job opportunities in the future. And we had the chance to shake the hands of people who were once in our position as students, but are now industry professionals."

It appears State Sen. Wendy Davis's filibuster did more than temporarily derail the abortion bill.
It also sparked a fundraising frenzy that netted her $933,000 in the final two weeks of June.
That means Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat, has more than one million dollars in the bank as she considers whether to run for governor.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott meanwhile collected $4.78 million during the final two weeks of June and has more than $20 million available for his campaign.
Here's the breakdown in donations provided by Davis' office:

Who does not love a little bird that wears a tuxedo? Penguins are cute, lovable birds that do not fly but swim instead, as demonstrated in this jigsaw puzzle. Instead of wings like most birds, these little creatures have developed flippers. Because of their special biological makeup, they can stand cold and icy waters while they swim and hunt fish to eat. Their food of choice is fish, squid, krill and other sea animals they catch while swimming underwater.
There are actually only a small number penguins found in the Antarctica, most live farther north in more moderate temperatures in cold climates. There are several species of penguin from smallest, the Little Blue Penguin to the largest, Emperor penguin.

Here are some strong password ideas to help you update your password today. You really need to change your passwords several times per year, no matter how much of an awful pain it is to deal with having to memorize another new password. But there is a method to make it more secure and easier to remember!
Strong Password Ideas That Are Easy to Remember
Strong password idea for a better password that is easy to remember is this: write a phrase. That is the basic idea behind some very strong passwords. There is a little more to it, though, but you're likely already doing the rest of the tips.
Creating a Strong Password:
- Write a phrase you made up yourself
- Include numbers, unique characters and capital letters
- Avoid any common phrase or title
- Make it at least 8 characters long
Here is the general idea. You write a short phrase you created. Make it something that makes you smile and will be easy to remember. It'll look something like these:
Of course, do not use any of the above passwords. They are on the Internet and the bad guys have those now. You'll need to create your own.
It helps if the phrase is somewhat personal and contains several words. If you must write it down you can, but never include where to use the password and store it nowhere near where you'd use it. Likely the absolute worst place to write it down is in a file on your computer. Use a piece of paper and pen, then put it in your wallet or behind the mirror in the restroom.
Create your new log-in password now. Create a new password for every place you have to log-in. Using one password for everything is very convenient for you and the person that steals it from you. They love it when you do that! Use a different one for every log-in.

(*Note: Most of the problems fitting pileup with earlier versions of Sherpa, e.g., 2.2.1 and 2.3, will be resolved with the Ciao 3.0 release of Sherpa.)
(**Note: Earlier versions of XSPEC had
several bugs when implementing the pileup model. Consult the original version of this document, as
well as the XSPEC
bug report page.)
All data presented here represent low temperature (~0.2 keV), low flux (~0.1 counts per second) blackbodies absorbed by a neutral column (~1021 cm-2). For these particular spectra, the pileup fraction is low: most piled up events represent the sum of two, occasionally three, photons, and the total fraction of events that represent piled events is typically < 10%.
Discussions of heavily piled up spectra can be found in Davis (2001).
In reality, the alpha parameter should be a photon energy-dependent and detector chip-dependent matrix. For simplicity, the model of Davis (2001) assumes a constant value. The real data presented here are for the ACIS-I chips, and furthermore, the spectrum is such that most of the piled events represent two or three approximately 1 keV photons being piled into either a bad event, or an event detected as a 2-3 keV photon. Thus, the fitted values of alpha cannot be interpretted as necessarily being applicable to other chips, or to spectra with very different spectral energy distributions. In general, it is strongly recommended that, lacking specific calibration information, alpha be left as a free parameter in any fits, or at the very least the dependence of the spectral fit results on the alpha parameter are assessed.
If we first assume no pileup correction, fits with ISIS and XSPEC produce essentially identical results. Specifically, the chi2 is 197 for 113 degrees of freedom. The fitted neutral columns are slightly too low (nH = 0.17 X 1022 cm-2), and the fitted temperatures are slightly too high (kT = 0.225 keV). As shown in the figure for the XSPEC fit, an excess is clearly seen at photon energies of > 2 keV. This excess is due to piled events.
Letting the alpha parameter be freely fit, ISIS successfully recovers the input parameters. Specifically, the ISIS fits find: nH = 0.216 +/- 0.019 X 1022 cm-2, kT = 0.205 +/- 0.005 keV, norm=3.7 +/- 0.3 X 10-6, alpha = 0.42 +/- 0.9 (90% confidence levels). chi2 is 131 for 112 degrees of freedom. The best fit is shown below.
Fits with XSPEC v11.2.0 now also essentially reproduce the above results and error bars on the parameters. To further explore the consistency between the two fitting packages, we compare fits for two separate spectra as a function of the grade migration parameter, alpha. To automatically tabulate these fits, the following:
was written for ISIS. However, being a slightly better S-lang programmer than when I first wrote this document long ago, I like the following
ISIS S-Lang script (June 11, 2003)
much better.
script was written for XSPEC. The results are presented in the figure
below, which shows chi2 relative to the (overall, i.e. ISIS
and XSPEC) minimum value, vs. the pileup alpha parameter. Triangles
are for ISIS fits, while diamonds are for XSPEC fits. Lines represent
delta chi2 = 2.71 (i.e., the 90% confidence interval) from the
minima of the ISIS and XSPEC chi2 values. These real spectra,
taken with the ACIS-I chips, represent two observed sources, believed
to be well described by absorbed blackbody models. (Here, however, we have
also allowed for the possiblity of a power law tail with a photon index
fixed to a value of Gamma = 2).
As can be seen from the figures, the ISIS and XSPEC results agree reasonably well. There is still some slight discrepancy at the largest values of alpha; however, the resulting fit parameters from each package lie within each others 90% error bars. For all intents and purposes, the two fitting routines now seem to agree. Note also that both sets of fits prefer a value of ~0.5-0.6.
It was found that the best minima could be attained, for the particular spectra presented above, by choosing small step sizes when alpha was large, and then choosing larger step sizes when alpha was small. (In fact, at each 0.05 step in alpha, from 1 to 0, the value of the step size was increased by a factor of 3.) The good news is that by doing this, the Sherpa results were found to be virtually identical to the ISIS results. The better news is that, with the upcoming release of Ciao 3.0, one will be able to implement S-lang scripts in Sherpa. The following
Sherpa S-Lang script (June 11, 2003)
when run under Ciao 3.0 will behave in much the same manner as the
above ISIS script.

Why Now Is The Time To Build A House
I'm meeting with a long time friend today to discuss his desire to build a house in a certain NE Tallahassee neighborhood.
For any long-time readers of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, you know that I have reported about the large new construction premium you must pay in this buyer's market, and how I strongly advise you to find an existing home for your purchase.
But there are some reasons why you really should build a house right now if you fit into a certain category.
Four Reasons To Build A House Today
Nobody is immune to real estate market conditions, the supply and demand dynamic is real, and it is measurable for every price point in Tallahassee.
Currently, there are more existing homes for sale in Tallahassee than there are buyers for those homes, and that means there exists pricing pressures in many of our price ranges in Tallahassee. Specifically, there is pricing pressure for Tallahassee high end homes, and it is among these higher prices that we find people who think now might be the time to build a house.
But building a home is not just a financial move. In fact, it could very well be a life goal for many people, the successful culmination of many years' hard work and sacrifice to save enough money for a dream home. If you fit into the category of "always wanted to build a house," than the time could be most right for you today. Here is why:
- The new construction market is just coming off a bottom, so there are hungry builders and subcontractors in Tallahassee who will likely compete for your business.
- The cost of land has regressed to values last seen more than 10 years ago, so it is likely you will get an exceptional value on the land.
- If you are financing any of the building, mortgage interest rates are at a historical low so your payments will be lower than ever.
- Most other costs you incur when you build a house (sticks, bricks, and labor) will continue to rise over time, so it won't likely get any cheaper to build.
First Plan To Build A House
So how do you go about starting the process to build a house?
We will be writing some follow-up articles to address this in detail, but I can tell people who build a house often make the same first mistake as people who buy an existing home.
The biggest mistake they make is they start looking at houses, at house plans, and once they become emotionally invested, they try to make sure they are getting a good deal.
It is better to choose a buyer's agent first, then to scour the market with that agent to select location and home types, and then put together a plan, with a real estate buyer's agent, which will save you a lot of money.
It is OK get to crazy-emotionally invested, just do so after you make sure you will build a house that fits your needs, wants, and budget.
And if you would like to sit down for free initial counseling session to determine whether or not to build a house, simply drop me a note and we can schedule a time to review your specific wants and needs.

Bob McKenzie of TSN released his series of one-on-one interviews with Canadian NHL GMs today, and in speaking to the Montreal Canadiens' Mark Bergevin, McKenzie asked about Noah Juulsen, a top prospect who is now eligible to play in the American Hockey League. Bergevin confirmed that Juulsen is "very close" to being ready for the NHL, and that the team would be taking a hard look at him in training camp.
It's hard to see Juulsen cracking the roster right out of camp, as Montreal currently has eight NHL-level defensemen signed plus Jakub Jerabek, the wild card from the Czech Republic. It will be a dog fight for the last few spots even without Juulsen's competition, but the young defenseman will try to force the team to keep him. Last year in the WHL the 20-year old showed that he's ready for professional hockey with 34 points in just 45 games while being one of the best open-ice hitters in junior hockey. His skating is already above-average for the NHL, and he would likely become a fan favorite in little time in Montreal.
As Bergevin explains, even though the Canadiens look to have too many defensemen already, training camp hasn't even started. It's rare that a team gets through the preseason without injury, meaning a chance for Juulsen is still a real possibility. The 6'3″ defender that was drafted 26th-overall in 2015 will likely make his debut at some point this season, even if it comes after the majority of the season is spent with the Laval Rocket of the AHL. Either way, Montreal fans should be excited knowing that there is some more high-level defensive help on its way.

- The first coronavirus vaccine will be available to the general public in October in a country that's developing its own COVID-19 prophylactic.
- Doctors and teachers will be immunized at the same time as Phase 3 volunteers, with the mass vaccination campaign set to start in October.
- That country is Russia, though so far it hasn't released any scientific papers that prove its drug is effective and safe.
If ever there was a time to oppose vaccines with the same unfounded ferocity as some anti-vaxxers would do, it's when you hear that a country is looking to start mass vaccinations against a novel pathogen before it even supplies any scientific evidence proving its vaccine is safe and effective. That's precisely what's going to happen later this year, as Russia just confirmed its COVID-19 vaccination plans. The country plans to immunize doctors and teachers sooner than any other nation, with a mass vaccination campaign set to start in October.
China said a few months ago that it might start using some of its vaccine candidates before the Phase 3 results are finalized. But China has at least published research covering early clinical trials for several experimental drugs. And those drugs showed the desired immune response, just like similar vaccines that are in the advanced testing stages in America in Europe. Some of the vaccines that are in Phase 3 of testing in the US could receive emergency use authorization later this year after Phase 3 trials are completed, and some categories of at-risk patients could be inoculated before the end of the year. But that will happen only if vaccines are found to be both effective and safe. Russia hasn't published anything to show its vaccine candidate checks either of those two crucial boxes.
Reports a few days ago said that Russia would go ahead with the public vaccination campaign at the behest of the Kremlin. The move is not so much about fighting COVID-19 as it is about showing the world that Russia is a scientific power, those reports said.
Officials confirmed over the weekend that the country plans to start vaccinations much earlier than anyone would have expected. Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said clinical trials of the Gamaleya Institute vaccine candidate were complete, CNBC reports, citing RIA. The report claims that test results showed an immune response in all the subjects with no side effects or complications. Sure it did.
A Russia RDIF sovereign wealth fund spokesman told CNBC that the country has completed the early phases of trials and that a large-scale Phase 3 trial will start this month. The first phases of vaccine trials usually include fewer volunteers, as researchers test both the effectiveness and safety of the drug. But researchers also tend to share their findings with the global community, especially considering that we're dealing with a pandemic. CNBC also notes that the World Health Organization confirmed that 26 vaccines are in trials around the world, with the Gamaleya Institute drug being listed as a Phase 1 trial. The WHO is yet to register Phase 2 or Phase 3 trials for the drug.
The Russian vaccine is awaiting regulatory approval, and then doctors and teachers will be vaccinated first. It's unclear whether doctors and teachers will be able to refuse vaccination. Mass vaccinations will then begin in October, with the country expected to manufacture several million doses per month through the end of the year.
Dr. Anthony Fauci criticized vaccine efforts in Russia and China during a congressional hearing on Friday, even before Russian officials confirmed their plans to go forward with vaccine use outside the trial. "I do hope that the Chinese and the Russians are actually testing the vaccine before they are administering the vaccine to anyone," Fauci said. "I do not believe that there will be vaccines, so far ahead of us, that we will have to depend on other countries to get us vaccines."
The US government has invested billions of dollars with several drugmakers, including Moderna, AstraZeneca/Oxford, and Pfizer/BioNTech. The government has committed more than $4 billion so far, securing 300 million doses of Oxford vaccine and 100 million BioNtech doses. The drug purchases will be completed only if they clear Phase 3 trials.
It's unclear whether Russia will try to sell its vaccine to other countries as part of its vaccine marketing push. But the drug will be met with resistance in other Western regions. The Telegraph reported that the UK is also not interested in the Russian vaccine, casting doubts over the trial process.
Russia was recently accused of hacking US companies in search of vaccine research. Other reports also said the country's elite already received COVID-19 vaccines. Russian officials denied both of these reports.

This Aladdin-Themed Anniversary Shoot Proves That the Real Magic Happens After "I Do"
If you are a fan of classic Disney movies, then you know that they all end with that magical happily ever after. But what happens after that fairy-tale ending? An Aladdin-themed anniversary shoot, of course!
Ruby and Eric tied the knot with a gorgeous Disney-themed wedding that was so fabulous it made it onto Disney's wedding TV show. The pair decided to keep the Disney flame alive and enlisted photographer Jenna Henderson to help them capture their love with this Aladdin-themed shoot.
"They had reached out to me about taking Aladdin-themed photos, and from there we came up with creative ways to give their portrait session a magical touch," Jenna said. "We actually hauled a 'magic carpet' up hiking trails and rocks to make our session come to life, but we didn't mind for a moment because we had a vision in mind." And the photos were absolutely worth the effort, because they are full of fantastic details — like Ruby's blue-and-gold necklace that alludes to Princess Jasmine's headband, and the apple Eric offers to Ruby, which is a direct reference to an iconic scene from the movie.
Check out the amazing photos from this shoot and spot many more hidden gems!

Steroid use in the professional athletic industry has, and continues to be an extremely controversial issue in our society. However, what many people don't realize is that the use of steroids is not just limited to professional body builders, athletes in the Olympics or in the MBL (major baseball league). In fact, many high school and college students as well as regular working professionals, also use these drugs for the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage in sports or obtaining the "ideal" body image.
There are several types of steroids that exist in the market today including the more popular winstrol, dianabol, anadrol, and anabolic steroids. Regardless of the type of steroids used, the truth is that while they may initially produce successful results in strengthening the body; the effects can actually be physically and mentally hazardous, especially with continued usage over an extended period of time.
Facts About Steroids
What exactly are steroids? Steroids are essentially produced from testosterone, a hormone that is naturally created in both males and females. Anabolic steroids in particular work by promoting cell growth within the body. These types of steroids can also increase protein synthesis, including amino acids, appetite, bone remodeling and growth, as well as stimulated growth of bone marrow within the body.
One of the most popular types of anabolic steroids is winstrol. However, because it needs to be injected on a frequent basis, winstrol can become a costly steroid to use. Additionally, continual injections made to the body can often lead to scar tissue damage.
The effects of steroids can vary for males, females and young teenagers. For example, common side effects of anabolic steroids among men can include reduced sperm count, impotence, the development of breast tissue, shrinking of the testicles and difficulty or pain during urination. In women, anabolic steroids can produce effects, such as increased facial hair growth, deepened voice, breast reduction and changes in menstrual cycles.
There are also some side effects of steroids that can affect both males and females alike; these can include the following:
*Facial and body acne
*Rapid weight gain
*Liver damage
*Increased cholesterol levels
*Strokes and heart failure
In teenagers, the use of anabolic steroids can cause the body to prematurely stop growth and can also cause severe changes in mood and behavior. Psychological disorders are another common side effect of these steroids among young adolescents. As a result, they can experience extreme depression, irritability and aggression.
Necessary and Useful Steroid Usage
While most steroids are illegal and banned in the United States, there are some that have been approved for usage in the medical and veterinary industry. From a medical standpoint, steroids are typically used in humans for the purpose of replacing low levels of testosterone or in treatment for diseases, such as AIDS, anemia, osteoporosis and other types of chronic illnesses. Some of the legitimate ways in which steroids can be used in veterinary medicine include increasing lean weight gain and enhancing hair coat appearance within animals. They can also be used to treat anemia and other types of illness and trauma.
Although legal uses for steroids do exist, many people still tend to abuse these types of drugs for their personal gain. In addition to the physical and mental changes that can result within an individual from taking steroids, there are also some alarming and irreversible long-term effects that can occur. These can include serious health problems, from cancer and cardiovascular problems to strokes and heart attacks. Therefore, it's really important to question whether using steroids is really worth risking your life!

Seagull drone poops sunscreen...uh, thanks
What do a pooping seagull and kids' sunscreen have in common? A Nivea ad that's both memorable and disgusting.
The world has seen some strange drones, ranging from cat-litter-scooping drones to a Star Wars snowspeeder drone. But nothing can prepare you for the sheer peculiarity of the sunscreen-pooping seagull drone that stars in an ad for Nivea kids' sunscreen.
The ad starts off innocently enough with a joyous beach scene of families playing in the sand and kids who don't want to stand still long enough for their parents to apply sunscreen. Then it veers into some weird Cronenberg-esque world where Nivea builds a seagull-shaped drone and flies it over the beach, pooping out blobs of sunscreen onto children below, who then gleefully rub it into their skin.
The bird is a modified remote-control airplane with floppy little yellow legs dangling off the back. The Nivea pilots use a UV camera to see which kids aren't coated in sunscreen yet and rely on that information to target the tykes as they run around the beach. Nivea refers to this process as "the hunt."
What really puts the ad over the top are the flatulent noises the seagull emits every time it delivers a load of sunscreen. It's the kind of gross-out tactic that seems to be aimed at making 7-year-olds giggle and adults cringe.
The Nivea ad narrator believes the seagull drone makes for a "fun sunscreen experience." The kids' reactions in the video seem to back that statement up, but most grown-ups will probably recoil in horror at the concept of a giant mechanical seagull squeezing out a white liquid from the sky.
According to AdWeek, ad agency Jung von Matt/Elbe entered the seagull video into the late-June Cannes Lions competition for marketing. "It's the most stupid thing I think I've seen in my whole life," said advertiser John Hegarty, a jury president for the awards, during a press conference announcing the winners. Spoiler alert: the seagull didn't win. AdWeek reports Nivea isn't interested in promoting the video, which indicates there's a sense of sanity within Nivea's in-house PR department.

Women will be looking to shock and awe in NCAA tournament to close out season
The Ferris State women's volleyball team will compete in the Division II NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006.
Ferris was one of the 64 teams selected to take part in the tournament. Ferris is the seventh seed in the Midwest Region and will take on second-seeded Lewis University (27-4). Lewis (Ill.) is currently ranked 11th nationally. The Bulldogs finished the regular season with a 19-11 overall record.
The team will be looking to perform at a high level in order to pull the upset and avenge their 3-0 defeat to Lewis earlier this season in the GLVC Crossover tournament. Coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm believes that this team's hard work and tenaciousness will benefit them.
"As always we are just going to have to take care of play on our side of the court," said Brandel-Wilhelm.
Freshman outside hitter Aly Brecht will be looking to make a strong contribution off the bench.
"We just need to go out there with a winning mindset," said Brecht.
This will be the team's 15th appearance in the NCAA tournament. The women will be looking to improve on their 7-15 record in the NCAA playoffs. The Bulldogs have not won a NCAA Tournament contest this decade.
"This team competes well every time they take the court," said Brandel-Wilhelm.
Ferris will be hoping to rebound after their disappointing first round loss to eventual champion Hillsdale in the GLIAC tournament. Ferris fought hard throughout but fell in four sets, 25-22, 15-25, 15-25, and 15-25. Senior Kristy Gilchrist and junior Arielle Goodson led the way for the Bulldogs as they recorded 13 and 12 kills respectively.
"I have been very pleased with the performance of the team thus far this season," said Brandel-Wilhelm.

Engaged Faculty Spotlight: John Papay
John Papay, Associate Professor of Education and Economics, arrived at Brown University in 2012 after eight years at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and three as a high school history teacher and basketball coach. An author of numerous peer-reviewed publications, Papay has received awards from the American Educational Research Association and other scholarly organizations. His reports for state agencies and policy think tanks and essays in major newspapers made him one of three Brown faculty recognized on a 2021 list of "university-based scholars in the U.S. who did the most last year to shape educational practice and policy" (and not for the first time). His scholarship contributes to public understanding and action on issues including teacher hiring, retention, professional development, and diversity.
Many of these accomplishments have grown out of what Papay calls "deep research-practice partnerships" that begin with developing "a shared research/learning agenda." Local partners attest to the depth and quality of his collaborative approach. Zachary Scott, Deputy Superintendent of Operations in the Providence Public Schools, describes Papay as patient, responsive, and empathetic; "eager to ensure that all relevant stakeholders...have a voice in the research process," he "first seeks to listen carefully" and doesn't consider his work done when the data have been analyzed. Instead, he continues thinking with stakeholders about translating research into real changes that can improve outcomes. Christopher Gabrieli, chairman of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education, has "never seen an academic invest more time and show more skill in making the work [of research projects] comfortable and feasible for the stakeholders than John."
A collaborative researcher since graduate school, Papay sees mutual benefit in that investment. "Having detailed conversations with stakeholders'' yields fresh insights and shapes "our understanding of specific data elements and key questions that would be useful at any given moment." Seeing how engaged research has contributed to policy and practice, as well as to knowledge in the field, keeps Papay motivated. As part of the leadership team for the new Research Partnership for Professional Learning, he brings this commitment to a national collaborative focused on, "how to support teacher professional learning that leads to equitable student outcomes for historically marginalized students."

There are a lot of people that have adapted to online shopping that didn't normally use their computers for anything other than checking their email or perhaps playing a few games. The convenience of doing this has caught on and there are some great opportunities that are available for doing your Christmas shopping online. However, there are a lot of precautions that need to be taken at the same time. If you are a seasoned online shopper then you know all the potential dangers and pitfalls that you could be coming up against and you know how to avoid these.
If you are new to online shopping there are several things that you need to be aware of. Once you do become more knowledgeable than you can use your online shopping experience to save you money and also get you many of the gifts that you are looking to buy.
The first thing that you need to know is that you are shopping at a reputable and established website. Check where the location is, as you well know you have the opportunity to shop worldwide but that doesn't mean that your products are going to arrive in time, or that that they are even going to get past customs. If you are looking at gift buying then you want to get these purchases in as quickly as possible to you, so you can check them out to make sure that there are exactly what you ordered, and that there is no problems with them. Also be aware that when you are shopping for name brand that there are a lot of knockoffs on the web that are rampant and can lead to a great disappointment. You may be assuming that you are buying a brand name and paying the prices for such, but once it arrives you're going to discover that it really isn't the brand that you thought.
One of the most important factors about online shopping is the security of the information that you are providing. Most likely you are using your credit card to make these purchases. Ideally you want to be able to make your purchases with your credit card through PayPal which is going to offer a more secure platform for you. Again this is why it is highly important that you really take the time to look over the site that you are shopping on to determine just how valid it is. It is easy to get yourself restricted to just the item pages that are up for purchase and then that the shopping cart. There should be many other sections on the site that are important to you such as the privacy and shipping of policies. Again being able to check for a phone number or actual physical location of the business that you are going dealing with will help to build your confidence.

Sunday is probably the best day to get coupons posted. Always add a quote to your posts to generate interest. Do you want to include accurate information that people are attracted to? All you need to do is keep reading to find out more.
Integrate your Facebook page with your other campaigns. Place links to your Facebook page on your blog, website and in the signature of your professional emails. You should draw attention to your Facebook page by presenting it as a way to get access to exclusive content and more promotional offers.
Promote a contest using Facebook Offers. All you have to do is set up the offer, then switch it to a Promoted Post through your wall. A good offer will appeal to potential customers as well.
Increase your Facebook marketing interface's efficiency by using customized tabs. Custom tabs let you optimize information on your page for visitors that betters your business. For instance, use a custom tab for any contests you might run.
Do not let the excitement over your page die down. Commit yourself to updating at least a few times a week. If you do not, your followers are going to feel neglected and they probably will not follow you or your products as passionately. Once you set up a page, you have to be committed to its maintenance.
Consider investing in Facebook Ads. You can pay a fee to have a certain number of targeted Facebook users see your ad. This is an excellent way to get more subscribers for your page. You will get better results if you offer a discount to the new subscribers or organize a giveaway.
Don't think of your fans as numbers. That's a big no-no in Facebook marketing. You aren't collecting numbers, you are building brand champions. You are creating a community of people who love your company or brand. Treat them with the respect that they are due. These people can make a difference for your company.
Facebook's introduction of their Timeline format is altering strategies for many business marketers. Timeline allows for the posting of larger photos that are more likely to grab reader interest. Successful marketers are posting these larger pictures, coupled with a targeted call to action. This can run the gamut from downloading coupons to encouraging product users to upload their own pictures of your product in action.
Now that you understand what the truths are regarding Facebook marketing, you can start to do your own research so you can figure out how to best campaign to your target audience. The tips in this piece will prove very valuable. If you want to have success, you will need to incorporate Facebook marketing into your business plan.

Third-string nose tackle Sunny Harris will miss the rest of the season with a torn triceps muscle.
Coach Gary Kubiak announced the news on Wednesday afternoon at Reliant Stadium. Harris, a second-year pro out of Oregon, was injured during an individual period of practice on Tuesday.
"It's a very unfortunate situation," Kubiak said. "He had been playing really good for us, but he's going to go on I.R."
The loss of Harris leaves the Texans with two healthy nose tackles for their upcoming preseason game at New Orleans. Starter Shaun Cody is out with a lower back injury. Earl Mitchell, who rotates with Cody, and Hebron Fangupo, an undrafted rookie from BYU, will play against the Saints.
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said defensive ends Tim Jamison and Jared Crick can also play nose tackle. Crick, a rookie fourth-round pick from Nebraska, made his NFL debut against the 49ers on Saturday after missing time with a neck issue.
"I was pleased with Crick this last week," Phillips said. "His first time to play, and I thought he did a good job. He's a good-looking player, so just glad to have him."
The Texans will likely sign another nose tackle, but he won't be able to play at New Orleans because of the three-day acclimation period built into the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Harris (6-5, 300) was making a case for a spot on the final 53-man roster with an impressive training camp. He played nose tackle and end and was starting to get practice reps against the Texans' first-team offense.

Report from the International Conference on Classical Studies (Athens - Delphi, April 3-5, 2003)
classical philology, Latin, old Greek, Europe, 21th century, teachingAbstract
Glavni razlog za konferenco je bila pobuda, ki jo je v okviru grškega predsedovanja Evropski skupnosti dal grški minister za šolstvo in verske zadeve, Petros Efthymiou. Predlagal je ustanovitev mednarodnega centra za klasične študije, ki bi bil sestavljen iz dveh enot: ene v Italiji in ene v Grčiji. S tem je povzel zamisel, za katero se je v Svetu Evrope že leta 1995 kot prvi zavzemal Giorgios Papandreou, tedanji grški minister za šolstvo in verske zadeve.

this paph is quite rare and this is the first time it has flowered in many, many years. Originally it came from Melbourne, then it went to Savoy Orchids in Brisbane and from there it went to Dieter in Bundaberg and I got it some time ago. I was quite excited when it flowered and I like to share it with my friends at Slippertalk. Hope you like it too. Bernhard

Rudra Dalmia was speaking at the India Mobile Congress today on October 16
He said that the objective of discounting is to kill the competition and should not be encouraged
Dalmia urged platforms to informs users about fair pricing for products
Speaking on the final day of the India Mobile Congress 2019, Rudra Dalmia, executive director of Paytm Mall said, "discounting in ecommerce cannot and should not exist".
Dalmia added that all products have a fair price and consumers who want to use a particular product should be willing to pay that price without needing a discount. He went on to say that customers who are getting a good deal today, will be later penalised when the discounting organisations have established their monopoly in the market.
According to him, the objective of discounting is to kill the competitor. When one has killed the competition, they assume the power to price the product in the way they want to price it and that affects the consumers the most.
Interestingly, Indian commerce minister Piyush Goyal too had said the India Economic Summit held earlier this month, that ecommerce is expected to be an agnostic platform. He emphasised that it is a platform to trade and offer opportunities to consumers and sellers, but not if it gets mired in predatory pricing, or using the power of large capital to buy users through discounts.
Predatory pricing or deep discounting has been an ongoing point of discussion between the Indian government and ecommerce companies. Trade associations and online sellers body have also time and again criticised ecommerce platform such as Amazon and Flipkart of selling products at near-cost prices to boost sales volumes.
To save the interests of small retailers and create a level playing field, DPIIT had introduced the draft ecommerce policy in February and also implemented the new foreign direct investment (FDI) norms in ecommerce to curb deep discounting. The FDI in ecommerce rules restricted companies from directly or indirectly impacting the price of products.
The implementation of FDI rules had also been reported to have impacted the trade relations between the US and India government. Earlier this month, at the India Economic Summit in Delhi, US secretary of commerce Wilbur Ross said that India needs to bring in more balance in its ecommerce policy and consider the timing of the changes in regulations.
Responding to Ross, Goyal had then said that because of India's market conditions, the government has to be very clear on creating ecommerce regulation to protect smaller retailers. India has 120 Mn – 130 Mn citizens depending on small retail, from about 50Mn – 60 Mn small retail shops. Effectively, small retail affects the livelihoods of about half the Indian population when one considers the families impacted, he added.

If you want to become a real estate agent to learn how to sell houses, you first need to do the work to pass the exam to become a professional! Here are the steps needed to ace the test and get a passing score on your exam.
Steps to pass the test to get your realtor license
Know the state requirements
The first step of getting your realtor license is to familiarize yourself with the local requirements in your state to ensure you know the proper steps for your area. The real estate broker exam is highly independent of the other states you live in, so the test in Delaware might be very different from the test in California!
You need to figure out how to qualify for the licensing exam by understanding what the test will include, how to sign up to take the test, and other detailed information that can include pre-licensing requirements and added paperwork required to register for the test.
Take real estate courses
The second step of learning how to get your realtor license is to take pre-licensing courses like Host Group MA Real Estate School so you can pass the real estate test. Before you register for the test to get the license, you need to fulfill pre-licensing courses – typically this will range around 100 credit hours and includes a price of between $500 and $1,000.
Take a real estate prep course
The third step of how to get your realtor license by passing the test is to first take the exam prep course so you can feel confident and prepared! Real estate rules can drastically alter every year, so figuring out the unique credentials required is key to figuring out what information will be included on the test, the best study methods for your realtor license test, and accommodate your unique learning style.
Study on your own
The fourth step of getting your realtor license by passing the real estate test is to study on your own for the exam to make sure you are prepared and confident when you take the final exam. The real estate broker exam covers a lot of information that is critical to getting your license, so you need to take the time, energy, and dedication to study the information on your own. In addition, make sure you understand the exam subjects so you can figure out the details of what is on the test.
The topics typically covered in the real estate agent exam include contracts, transfer of property, property valuation, financial analysis, laws of agency and fiduciary duties, property ownership, land use controls, and disclosures.
Master practice questions
The last tip on how to get your realtor license by passing your exam is to master and become an expert on the practice questions and exams. Make sure you determine the exam structure, test yourself using questions and take full-length practice exams so you can feel confident getting your realtor license.
When you're studying to become a real estate agent, make sure you prepare adequately to take the test so you can feel confident in passing! Ensure you take a real estate prep course, study on your own, master the exam and practice questions and take real estate courses before taking the realtor exam.

What is Summer 6s?
Summer 6s is all about providing a fun, fast, social format of the game during the off-season. It involves 6 players on each team on a modified, smaller pitch. Teams can have a maximum of ten registered players.
With a large emphasis on fun, fitness and social benefits that only a team sport can offer, it is suitable for people of all age and skill levels. Summer 6s is perfect for current players who want to keep active over the summer, those who have played but don't have time to dedicate to a full winter season, individuals who just want to have some fun with friends and it is also a great opportunity for new participants to begin playing football in a fun and social setting.
Our canteen will be open for players and spectators on game nights.

At Toowong, we will run the following competitions in 2020:
- Junior Age Groups – We are planning to field teams from U8 to U12/13. Teams can be mixed age groups.

How To Register & Pay?

Step 1 – Register a Team (if you are a Team Manager)
If you already have your team sorted, a Team Manager (or organiser) should complete one Team Nomination Form to register a team place.
Note: The Team Manager won't need to coach or organise your team from week-to-week, they're just needed to confirm the initial team listings.
To register your team:
- Team nominations are now closed.
- If you only have one or two players, send us an email at email@example.com and we'll do our best to find you a team.
Step 2 – Register to play (open now!)
- Each player registers and pays individually. Click >> here << to register using the PlayFootball portal
- PLEASE SELECT CAREFULLY – there is a package for players that have played club football in 2020 and for those who haven't (this is to minimise the overall insurance premiums FQ pays, keeping costs down). Note, players who participated in the Mitchelton Over 35s competition in the winter season must register as 'no club football' to be covered by insurance.
- Your name will be cross-referenced against the team list provided by your Team Manager
- If you don't have a team, hold off on registering and send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can try to find you a team.

You know a smaller gun also the rear has. An elevation adjustment all it is a. Simple slider here with a with another. Spin dial that you can lock it so it doesn't spin and it's just a little late hands just sitting up platform again foam and foam padding also there's more adjustment on the rear you can tilt to tilt it down and again it's got the same. Dial lock that is in the front so you. Can literally make this thing fit any gun that you want the nice thing about it is it's actually designed for ending pistol rape or a pistol grip so you can take an ar stick it in there. Raised in front of you got a nice. Little pistol nice little pistol grip. Breath so you can take the range instead of dragging a lead sled out there if you don't have a bipod and a gun or you just want something with more stability it's very compact very easy to use very simple not a lot of moving parts you have to worry about anything or an out so the ctk precision compact. Shooting rest comes with the v-notch post mount and you can see that they have some graduations here so if you've got different guns you can come you know memorize or write them down so you know what elevation need sometimes you have to adjust that for different elevation but kind of extra feature you can reference back to an option that.

Say my favorite part about the rest is that it is so small and you know most of. What we do here at hijack is a lot of pistols pistol grip based off a ours. Pistols things like that so if you need a rest you know we took it out with the ryan's air pistol and it works. Phenomenal except the thing in there.
