WASHINGTON D.C. – The largest battle ever in the history of the U.S. military involved well over a million people, almost a thousand aircraft, and 400 tanks.
These troops attacked over a fifty mile-long front line – rushing in after a three-hour artillery bombardment, that expended more ammunition than was used in the entire Civil War. During seven weeks of combat, wave after wave of American troops attacked against some 450,000 German soldiers from forty-four divisions.
The battle took a horrific human cost – over 122,000 American casualties. By its end, 26,277 Americans lost their lives in the battle, and 95,786 Americans were wounded.
Yet, this awful sacrifice was successful in its aim to help end World War I.
Today, the battle of Meuse-Argonne is not well known. However, the sacrifices are remembered, and will be honored by ceremonies in France, hosted by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) and supported by the U.S. Defense Department (DoD).
The Meuse-Argonne ceremonies take place at the ABMC's Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery on Sunday, September 23rd. Specific information can be found here.
These commemoration events will include the cemetery's traditional Luminary Event, a stunning tribute to those who served. As dusk falls at the cemetery, more than 14,000 headstones will be lit with candles, creating a powerful image of light overpowering the darkness.
Six commissioners of the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission will travel to France to participate in the events. These commissioners include history experts, multilingual communicators, and leaders for the commission's programs, which include the new National World War I Memorial in Washington, DC.
Notable descendants from the battle will also attend, as guests of the Commission.
They include:
– Ms. Sandra Pershing, granddaughter-in-law to General of the Armies John Pershing, Commander of the American forces in World War I
– Colonel Gerald York, grandson to legendary World War I hero, Sergeant Alvin York, a conscientious-objector, who became a soldier, and earned the Medal of Honor for his efforts during the Meuse-Argonne battle
– Helen Patton, granddaughter to General George Patton, who fought in the Meuse-Argonne battle.
The WW1CC commissioners will also attend a related commemoration event hosted by the ABMC on Saturday, September 22nd at the American Cemetery at St. Mihiel, to honor the Americans there. Information on that ceremony can be found here.

Trust that the universe is working with YOU and for YOU...
In life it sometimes becomes apparent that the thing you've been putting off can't wait any longer don't you find?
As I continue with my decluttering, sorting out, cleaning, painting, the going through of 'stuff', I'm feeling liberated. I've done decluttering in the past but nothing as thorough as this and it feels good.
Finally I've listened to the whispers of my heart, which I interpret to be from God. The voice has said, sort your home out and the rest will come. I've been a little slow in acting but finally the message has hit 'home' - sorry for the pun.
I think I've taken my home for granted and let things slide a little. I've treated its needs as an inconvenience and even been resentful of it. I've wanted to concentrate on my stuff, family and my work. Meanwhile, I've missed the point of my home being a h.o.m.e. in the sacred sense of the word. I'm now taking real pleasure from this space, this time of re-assessing and stepping back. It's also giving me time to ponder about other things whilst carrying out these tasks and that's also been positive.
I'm only half-way through but know I'm on the right path. I'm trusting the universe, that is God with me and in what is needed for my life right now.
I feel lighter somehow and I'm sure that this positive energy is going to flow into my artwork.
What about you, are you avoiding anything that is dragging you down or making you feel out of sorts? Have a little think and maybe put a plan into action and then take baby steps towards completion. You'll feel lighter too!

CBB Snog Alert! Stephanie and George Take Dare
Flirty couple lock lips for the first time in game of dare...
They've been the surprise will-they-won't-they couple in this summer's Celebrity Big Brother, and finally Stephanie Pratt and George Gilbey have kissed.
Alright, it was only a quick peck and it happened during a game of dare - but the chemistry between them was undeniable none-the-less.
Despite George's protestations that they weren't going to kiss for the cameras, they gave in to peer pressure after being egged on by the others - and neither of them knew where to look afterwards.
George followed it up by grabbing a cheeky snog with Ricci Guarnaccio - while Steph and Lauren Goodger followed suit with a quick peck too.
And George has been telling housemate Edele Lynch that he's serious about Steph and wants to see how things go outside the house.
"She is absolutely gorgeous, but without being big headed, when you come out of here and meet my mum, she'll tell you, all my girlfriends have been beautiful girls.
"But now I want to look for someone who is right for me. I know I like her but I'm a realist at the same time and I know we both have work to do and live different lifestyles."

In 1995, I met a woman named April Frost at a workshop about dowsing. I was attempting to launch a writing career. April was attempting to expand her work as a dog trainer, teaching how to communicate with dogs on a different level of awareness, working with how they register human intention.
To make a long story short, at the end of the year I had acquired a literary agent (who was a big dog lover). And one day, she called me to tell me she was having problems with one of her Salukis. I told her about April's work, we went to meet with April at her training center, and within six months, she and I had a book contract with Harmony Books, which is a division of Random House. "Beyond Obedience" was published in 1998. And sixteen years later, it is still in print; you can find it on amazon.com.
Here's an excerpt:
"Visualization helps you clarify what you are going to ask of your dog. If you can imagine . . . how you want your dog to respond, you will create the kind of energy that will support your training. When you consciously visualize your expectations to your dog, he can read your energy and your body language even better than when you give only a verbal direction, or pull on his body for a response."
There are lots of amazing stories about April's approach in the book. The following one is from the introduction:
"Several months ago, I was teaching a weekend workshop on Awareness Training, an inspiring way to establish a bond of mutual respect and communication with your dog. People were sitting in chairs while I lectured, and a number of the dogs were resting in their crates until we practiced the next exercise--all except for a Borzoi named Shamir, who was having a hard time relaxing in the strange new environment. He whined and complained and kept turning around and around in his crate. Shamir was making so much noise that it was difficult for people to hear, and I finally realized that I needed to do something.
We had already spent a number of hours exploring the concept that the energy within our thoughts and feelings has a powerful influence on those around us and , further more, that we can learn to project these thoughts and feelings in supportive ways while communicating and developing a relationship with a dog. Because dogs are extremely perceptive, they easily understand when a projection is clear and focused. Shamir was providing a perfect opportunity to apply this knowledge in a practice situation.
I said to the group, 'Now I want everyone to focus for a minute on Shamir and visualize him becoming calm.' Silence fell, as all eyes turned to the dog and people created their own mental picture, as I had asked.
In less than thirty seconds, Shamir had stopped pacing, stopped whining, and now stood peering out of the crate in our direction.
I went on: 'Now see him lying down. See him being calm, quiet, and lying down.' Again, the room was stilled by the presence of one clear thought projected at the dog.
Shamir fidgeted for a moment, peered out at us again, then slowly lowered himself to the floor of the crate and lay there quietly while a video camera recorded the entire sequence for posterity.
As soon as Shamir proved the power of our silent intent by doing as we had asked, everyone began to exclaim in amazement, the concentration was broken, and he popped up again.
It didn't matter, my point was made. Communicating and bonding with any living being is multidimensional, with different degrees of sensory perception. The more the energy of intent is put into created a bond, the less need there is for words or other physical tools for communication."

As the growing season begins, Flipside Farm is tirelessly working to ensure that all components of our operation are humming. In the greenhouse and in the fields, our feet muddy, our hands dirty, and our muscles contract as the daily pursuit of staying on time with our schedule becomes much increasingly necessary. It's job that begets a fruitful season for our CSA members and customers. And it's a job that's hidden from a lot of you guys - the patrons and supports of our farm. The season roils forward while much of our daily interactions with the land, and many interactions with the organic food landscape, are unheard. This blog post and the subsequent writings will hopefully shed light onto what exactly happens on a pugnacious organic farm. If it could offer any clues as to why we do this, then we'll consider this a worthwhile venture. At the very least, we are interested in transparency and insight into this place we've made our home. Thanks for reading.
Details of the farm begin to emerge as the early spring sun sluggishly awakes to the horizon. A barricade of pines, spruces, and oaks wall in the tilled land. Bordering the east perimeter is a forest where deer and foxes shuffle their feet and burst away from thrill-hungry hunters in blinks, and to the west a dirt road traverses the patchwork neighborhood of western New Jersey farmland, where an occasional, dim buzz of vehicle movement briefly distorts the sereine hum of a robin calling out to a mate, the shuffling feet of farmers dissecting the work ahead of them. During the morning of the whole crew's first day together, pellets of snow dropped down as we skirted around the boundaries that make the 93-acre property what it is: a farm. The only difference being the produce we harvest is raised with the unconditional promise of growing in tandem with the land, not opposed to it nor in battle against it. Food that flourishes without the perplexing presence of industrial inputs like chemical sprays and petroleum-based fertilizers. Food that requires tractor work but dutifully relies on the functional inventiveness of a venturing farm its and crew. Food that is grown organically, for the benefit and nurturance of the land.
As we bear witness to the beginning of the growing season, we leave the unsavory memories and grievances of last season's failures behind but take away tenets of objective lessons and teachings that can help better our understanding of beneficial agricultural practices. Some of us who come to Flipside this season possess little experience while others have run their fingers through the soil countless times, fully unaware of how many beds they've planted and how many looks out onto the horizon of the field they've taken. Yet both groups take the opportunities of the season anew, the idea being that the tumult and fervor felt the year prior will leave the seasoned group imprinted with accessible roadmaps and conceptual foundations to bring pastures and crop fields to life, while the unacquainted view the grandeur of the land, brimming with anticipation.
As this piece is being composed, a week and a half has passed, and the ground are beginning to display the much awaited arrival of vegetables. Rows of garlic are pushing their stalks up through the mulch where their green stems soak in the radiant sun. Neighboring this bed are lines of chard and scallions, which are beginning to shoot their roots down, puncturing lower layers of earth, while taking shape in and amongst the soup of compost, organic matter, and beneficials sustaining them. In what will seem like no time at all, their size and stature will take a dramatic shift as they will out their portion of the landscape. The sight fulfills the soul, validating the strain our muscles labor through. The hours of punish a farmer's body weathers become a bygone when the eyes gaze upon the finished product.
Those thoughts of exuberance and joy are with us everyday, perhaps a feeling carried in our pocket alongside cutting blades and pliers. In walks and discussions around the grounds, one can hear the bubbling, capillary excitement of what's to come as our knees bend to the ground and our back muscles twinge and tense. What starts as a barren and wintry sight slowly unfurls decadence and might. Produce captures every portion of vision, periphery and all. In a matter of time, the fields will be laced with splendor. For now, they hold our fears and dreams, apprehension and reverence. As each day progresses, our attention roves around the farm, and the work to ensure our future success continues.

This [series episode segment] has
The Christian population of Egypt numbers about ten per cent - but eighty per cent of Egyptian emigrants are Christian, and Australia is home to 80,000 Coptic Christians from Egypt. What roles did Christians play in the revolution, and what are their hopes and fears for the future?
Next week, the new library of Alexandria in Egypt will host a meeting that could be critical to the future of Islam.

AAIB investigation to Airbus A320-233, SP-HAI
Taxiway excursion, Birmingham International Airport, 21 February 2016
Shortly after landing at Birmingham Airport, the aircraft failed to negotiate a 90° taxiway turn and ran on to the adjoining grass. The taxiway condition was damp and the aircraft had entered the turn above the maximum speed given in the relevant operating manuals. The nosewheels lost traction and skidded, causing the flight crew to lose full directional control of the aircraft.

The third Annual Membership Meeting of the Mississippi Humanist Association (MHA) was held this past Saturday evening, February 24th, at The Flamingo in Jackson, MS. Turn out for the yearly get together was great, and we welcomed members from as far away as Picayune, MS! Members and guests enjoyed a catered social hour, and then elections were held for two (2) seats on the MHA Board of Directors. The MHA saw the re-election of Stephen Frank as Treasurer, and the election of new board member and Communications Officer, Amy Blue. Welcome aboard, Amy, and congratulations to you both!
2017 was a fantastic year for the MHA, and President Kim Gibson recapped some of the successes, such as hosting Seth Andrews, of The Thinking Atheist, and screening the film "A Better Life…" with director Chris Johnson. MHA Secretary Tom Dennis reported that the MHA saw tremendous growth in 2017, as MHA membership doubled from 2016. Treasurer Stephen Frank advised about the MHA's finances, and outgoing Communications Director, Patrick Jerome, talked about his time on the board and what it takes to keep the MHA going in his farewell address.
After the elections, we enjoyed a fun presentation from Patrick about the Marvel comic book pantheon of gods titled More Than Thor: The Pantheons of Marvel Comics.
The MHA has come a long way from the living room in Flowood where it started. The MHA will continue to work hard on behalf of humanists in Mississippi, building a strong humanist community, educating the public about humanism, and doing good for goodness' sake, as the MHA has done since its "official" start in 2015.
To everyone who has become a member of the MHA and helped to make the mission of the MHA happen, thank you for your support of humanism and the MHA. The MHA is looking forward to making 2018 another great year for humanists in Mississippi!

Finding Fall Color in Denver
Fall is quickly approaching in the mountains, and it will soon be here in Denver. You can see it by the subtle yellowing of the cottonwoods and ash in Denver and the vibrant golden changes in the Aspen in the mountains.
Everyone flocks to the high tops of the front range to catch their beloved views of aspen color riots. But you can find some great fall color right here within the C470 loop, often within 10 minutes of your Denver home.
Three Denver Hikes for Fall Color
Here are three great places to find fall color IN Denver.
Fall color shows up in our wild prairie grasses, too. Check out this urban hike in Lowry for some great fall color via the grassy plains. It's a great place to hear smaller song birds, too.
The High Line Canal Trail, especially between mile markers 16-25 (from Fly n B to Julia deKoevend Park, segments 5, 6, 7.) You'll also find a plethora of wild apples and plums. Bon appetite!
The 9 Creeks Loop, especially along the South Platte River near Globeville on segments 1 and 8.
Post pics of what you see this year and share your bounty of fall color in Denver.
~See you on the trail,

My husband calls our house "Snow White's Cottage". All kinds of animals visit our backyard – squirrels, deer, chipmunks, wild ducks, not to mention hummingbirds and various other birds.
Last spring and summer a bunny lived under our gazebo. It moved in some time at the end of March, when we were in France for a couple of weeks. By the time we came back, he was quite comfortable in his new house. Our neighbor said there were a few bunnies in her yard, but her dog killed all of them. Ours was the only one that survived. We watched him grow over a few months. At first he (or she?) was really tiny and scared of every little noise. He would disappear under the gazebo in a blink of an eye. In a few weeks he was bullying even doves and blue jays that were picking some seeds spilled from the bird feeder too close to his under-gazebo entrance. After a while he's learned not to be afraid of us either, and I was able to work in the garden with a bunny sun-bathing just a couple feet away from me.
We watched him wandering further and further away from the safety of his gazebo home, until at some point in September or October we realized that we have not seen our bunny for a few weeks. I reassured the kids that the bunny would be back, but with a healthy population of turkey vultures in the nearby woods I was not sure myself...
This morning I woke up to an excited chatter of my kids in the kitchen. "The bunny is back!" - was my good morning greeting. We cannot decide whether it is our little bunny from the last year, his wiser mama-rabbit moving her nest to a safer location, or a completely un-related and new one, who just stumbled upon our vacant spacious rabbit burrow. In ether case, I think our lawn will be feeding an entire family of bunnies this year.
Here is the footage I shot this morning.

"Do's" and "Don'ts" for your small living room decor
Looking for interior ideas? Need tricks to maximize space and decorate your small living room? This is the dos and don'ts ideas to redecorate your small living room to make it more alive, relax and beautiful. There are things that we should focus on, by making sure to use a suitable furniture, the color of the room and the proper ways to decorate it.
Make use of suitable furniture
When you have a small living room, the buying process of furniture is very important because we need to look into the size and angle of the living room.
Firstly, you need to use small furniture to make sure that you will have an extra space to place other things as you can buy small sofas or coffee table. Secondly, use multiple storages to maximize the space such as television cabinet that includes book shelving and drawers as well. Also, you can have furniture that could give you other benefits for instance: have a sofa bed or mini stool that can shift to a small coffee table and much more!
As a reminder, do not buy oversize furniture because it may take a big space in your living room. If there's is too many big pieces of furniture, the living room will look very clutter and you will not have any extra spaces. Secondly, do not buy any furniture that is tall or a long leg furniture. As example, a high chair or high side table will look like it's taking more spaces in the room. You need to find furniture that is lower to the ground.
Use the right range of wall color
Choose the right color for your living room. The most basic range of color to use is by using soft color. Choosing the right color play a big role in making differences towards room environment. At time we could paint the whole room with the same color so that it will look less cramp. If you want to bring the room to look alive or have a texture towards it, make some combination with dark color or wallpaper on one side of the walls. This can be described as the feature wall because it can grab people in the room attention.
When painting a room, we might want to do some color combination for the wall. However, do not mix with too many colors and limit the colors of the room play with a combination of maximum 3 colors because too much color in the room will make the room look unpleasant. Secondly, when we have a living room try to not paint everything using a dark color because it can change the mood atmosphere.
Choose proper decoration and ways to place it
When we have a small living room, we need to fill up space in order to make it look much bigger. Placing a big rug or big mirror can bring illustration and reflection towards the living room. We can buy decoration that is made of glasses that could be see through as this can help the living room looks like it has more extra space as the scenery will not be blocked. Furthermore, we could play along with the angle of the house. For example, when there is a small edge in the living room, we can use it as small table areas or put transparent cabinets to display all of our small decoration.
Put some combination of green in the room, for example, you can have a small plant in the living room. The advantage of having this is that not only pop out the color but will help to circulate the air inside the room. Besides that, put the bright color of decoration like gold color art or frame because it can help to bring the light into the room and make it look brighter.
When we are about to arrange all of the furniture, try to not push everything towards the wall. Pull it to the center of the house so that it can make more illusion of extra spaces in the room. Do not cover up the spaces that we have such as try to minimize the amount of pillow that we would like to display on our sofa. Do not buy things that are not necessary or have any other purpose in the living room. Lastly, do not clutter the table with so many decorations and try to minimize thing on top of your counter or table. Also, try to avoid using big frame because it will take so many spaces.
Do not empty your wall put a little bit touch on it
When we have a small room, we could try to maximize the empty walls by put on the wall shelf to fully use the room. Also, we could use a high ceiling shelf covering the wall as this could help to save a lot of space in the living room. Hang some curtain but make sure it is cover from the top of the ceiling it will make the room look more elegant and have extra more spaces.
Do not clutter everything down on the floor, hang the thing up so it will be neater and we could have extra more spaces.Do not hang too many painting or frame on the wall because it will make the room look full and occupied. Lastly, avoid using drawers as it said before, hanging thing on the wall can bring extra spaces to the room

Our one-on-one interview with San Diego boxer Prince "Tiger" Smalls and his trainer, Priest Smalls, during an open workout in preparation for his upcoming six-round fight at Bobby D Presents on November 21, 2014.
The father-son bond is special and unique in every way. Only a father can explain what it means to have a son. And only a father can hope and pray that their son will lead a successful life. While some fathers expect their son to follow in their own footsteps, others pray that they aim higher. Regardless of the situation, a father always wants to see his son surpass his own accomplishments and live a fulfilling life.
Priest "Tiger" Smalls, a former professional boxer who endured a fourteen year career and earned a NABO and WBO featherweight title, never forced the sweet science on his son, Prince Smalls. In fact, Priest never wanted his son to get into the fight game. But one day, Prince Smalls confronted his dad and told him that he wanted to pursue a career as a professional boxer. Already an exceptional athlete, Prince was ready to take the leap into boxing and if he was to be successful, there was only one man who he wanted in his corner . . . his father of course.
In three days Prince "Tiger" Smalls, a tall featherweight who fights out of San Diego, will square off against Tijuana fighter Jose Iniguez at Bobby D Presents "Dangerous Divas II" from the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mission Valley. The fight card will be the final show of the year for Bobby D Presents and will also be a historic event for the city of San Diego as the first female title fight will take place between Kenia Enriquez and Ana Arrazola for the WBO Female Flyweight belt.
Despite the late start in boxing, Prince "Tiger" Smalls has the tools to become a special fighter. Simply put, boxing is in Small's blood and that fact shows when you see him train. At over 6'0" tall, with a significant reach for his division, Smalls pulls from good genes and a trainer who has seen it all. As a California Boxing Hall of Famer, Priest Smalls had a successful career inside the ropes earning 21 wins, two titles and an endless amount of knowledge about what the fight game can do to a fighter both inside and outside of the ring.
The interesting part of how Prince came to be a professional fighter is unique in that his father never pushed the sport on him. While it is normal for a father to push a career path on his son and expect that his son follow in his own footsteps, Priest Smalls never burdened his son with the idea that he needed to become a fighter. Instead, Priest let Prince make his own choices and create his own path.
Whether it be going to law school, becoming a doctor, or for the purposes of this story, strapping on a pair of leather gloves and stepping into a ring as a professional boxer, the end goal is always the same . . . do what makes you happy. The fact that Prince ended up fighting was a product of Priest letting his son find his own way. And sometimes, different paths lead to the same destination.
The Crowne Plaza Hotel is located at 2270 Hotel Circle North, San Diego. "San Diego Fights" is presented by Bobby D. Presents with Mossy Automotive Group, Pepsi, Filippi's Pizza Grotto, DGS Construction and Car Czar. Doors open at 6:30pm with the first punch thrown at 7:30pm.

No cooking here, just some buying and assembling, but sometimes that is exactly what is called for.
I bought a tub of lovely fresh white crab meat and it sat in the fridge for a day or two until I felt the urge for a simple salad for lunch.
All I did was mix the crab meat with some mayonnaise, added some diced cucumber, chopped dill, chopped spring onions and a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoned it and mixed to together. Then I shredded some Romain e lettuce, piled on the crab and sprinkled some sweet pimenton on top.
With a couple of slices of buttered brown sourdough bread, that was lunch. Delicious!

People often travel as their way of keeping in touch with nature and also glancing at the wonders of nature. Tour companies ensure that people can travel to any tourist destination conveniently. Since the tourism sector is made up of domestic and international tourism, a person can settle for the tour company that suits their travel needs.
In Brazil, the tourism sector has been dominated by tour companies such as CVC Brasil Operadora. The CVC has been in existence since 1972, and it was founded by Guilherme Paulus with the help of Carlos Vicente Cerchiari.

Paulus had always had an interest in entrepreneurship. While also working at institutions such as IBM, Paulus showcased exemplary leadership skills. After meeting with Carlos Vicente Cerchiari while travelling via a ship, Guilherme Paulus found a partner with whom he could work with. Carlos Vicente was fascinated by the tourism sector, and he aspired to launch a tour company in Santo Andre. The business idea was lucrative, but Paulus held back since he wasn't financially capable of funding the business endeavor. Eventually, the Carlos Vicente and Guilherme Paulus came to a consensus, and their partnership started after they rented a shop at the exit of a cinema. The partnership went on smoothly for four years until Paulus, and Carlos Vicente started concentrating more on their personal endeavors.
CVC Brasil Operadora is an international tour company that has taken the Latin America region by storm. The tour company has also dominated the domestic tourism sector in Brazil. Besides being an entrepreneur, Guilherme Paulus is also a hotelier in charge of the management of GJP Hotels and Resorts. He currently manages more than 20 hotels and resorts. He often travels since he has to ensure that everything is running smoothly in every hotel and resort. Paulus also upholds the power of innovation in business. He continuously discusses the value of innovative projects with his employees. He also reminds them to develop new products for clients. This mantra has contributed to the growth of CVC. Over the years, he has propelled the company towards growth by implementing useful business policies.

Here's how she shared her story;
"The numbers of unfavourable stories around transportation network companies in Nigeria seems to surmount every day, as people come out with testimonies of gory experiences at the hands of the cruel drivers that work for these companies.
This time, the most disturbing of it all occurred over the weekend with foremost Nigerian celebrity stylist, Tolu Bally, falling victim as an Uber driver attempted to kidnap her mum and threatened to stab her.
According to the stylist, her mother was going to the Mainland and was picked from her (Tolu's) apartment in Lekki by an ordered Uber. Her mother had reportedly noticed the driver was going through a wrong route instead of Ikoyi Toll Gate and had called to notify her daughter, Tolu.
The stylist called the driver for questioning and was told that he had to take the route because of traffic, which she knew wasn't true.
In her words; "I spoke to the Uber guy and he said he wants to go through the 4th roundabout to avoid traffic which doesn't make sense seeing as there was no traffic . I asked him to bring my mum back home and he hung up the phone. My mum called back, screaming that the guy isn't listening to her and all. I asked her to put me on speaker phone since he has refused to speak with me and told him to let her come down from his car if he can't bring her back home. Please note at this point the guy has gone offline and we couldn't trace them. I kept calling my mum's phone who obviously was screaming and crying in the car; telling him to drop her or take her home.
"At this point I knew something was wrong. So I left the studio and headed to the 4th roundabout, all this while I kept calling my mum but wasn't picking, eventually she picked her calls and said the guy threatened to stab her and take her to an unknown destination no one would find her. I didn't know what to do. I told my mum to stay on the phone so I can monitor them whilst driving to them".
"All through they kept exchanging banters. My mum kept telling him my children will find me and all. I noticed we weren't getting anywhere so I told mum to wind down the door glass and scream for help. She did as she was told and also grabbed him from the back with his t-shirt. They got into a small traffic and passersby heard so he had to pull over. My mum at this point has lost all energy and was shaking. The witnesses seeing how rough and unkempt the Uber driver was, asked him for his ID. He acted like he was going to get it from the car and ran away. I was able to track them down and found out that the Uber guy, who picked my mum from my house, was different from the guy in the Uber app picture," she added.
On what Uber company has done to the issue, Tolu said; "I have reported to the police and my brother has tried to reach Uber but the response has been slow and doesn't look like they understand the gravity of this offense. They only gave "12 Akinsanya Street" to the police as the location of the driver. But there are mass numbers of such address in Lagos. We cannot even trace the Guarantor's address. This guy is still working with Uber, and they have not asked him to make himself available for interrogations.
I never believed the story of people using Uber for kidnapping till now that it happened to me.

More Townhouses than Towers
When a developer gained clearance to redevelop a parking garage with two towers at 181 Bedford Rd., they opted to forgo the second tower for something different.
The Annex Yorkville Connection by Metropia and Diamond Corp.
THE PROJECT: Annex Yorkville Connection
DEVELOPERS: Metropia and Diamond Corp.
SIZE: 531 to 2,287 square feet
PRICE: $400,000 to over $2-million
The three-storey townhomes will have 300 square-foot rooftop terraces.
The tight dimensions of many infill sites in downtown Toronto often limit projects to tall towers with a few townhouses, if any at all.
But when Metropia and Diamond Corp. gained clearance to redevelop a parking garage with two towers at 181 Bedford Rd., they opted to construct a single high-rise with 245 suites and a courtyard flanked by over three dozen townhouses with three or four floors and private garages.
"We essentially eliminated a second tower … and replaced it with 39 townhomes, and that's unprecedented in Toronto real estate," Metropia chairman and chief executive Howard Sokolowski says.
"You'd have to go somewhere north – certainly north of Lawrence or into Thornhill, Ajax or Oakville – where you'd find many examples of that, but you won't find 39 townhomes in a brand-new development in central Toronto. So we found that very exciting."
Furthermore, these three-bedroom townhouses will secure prime outdoor space. "We have a 300-square-foot rooftop terrace on all the units, and on the courtyards, we even have phenomenal views facing south to the CN Tower and the city," says Lee Koutsaris, who is Metropia's director of project management, sales and marketing.
"And what's really special about [the courtyard collection] is … you have an outdoor rooftop amenity, but you also get a patio at grade and a little private garden area with exclusive use to the individual townhomes. So they get a lot of extra outdoor space in the courtyard collection."
Nine townhomes will be incorporated into the 27-storey tower.
Nine townhouse-style units will also be integrated into the modern 27-storey tower anchoring the complex, called Annex Yorkville Connection. "The project is really one location with two projects," Mr. Sokolowski says.
"We've launched mid-October and we're 85-per-cent sold out on the condo tower and 65- to 70-per-cent sold out on the townhomes."
Remaining townhouses are priced between $1.8-million and over $2-million, while one- to three-bedroom suites in the glass, steel and concrete tower range from $400,000 to over $2-million.
"Some of our fastest-selling units were two-bedroom units and three-bedroom units," Ms. Koutsaris notes. "The three-bedroom [models] are about 20 per cent of our product mix, typically, it would be much less than that."
Thus, different demographics won't have to forfeit personal spaces to reside within steps of upscale boutiques, galleries and dining establishments in Yorkville and the Annex, as well as two subway lines.
"[Buyers] are potentially people who have a larger home and want to move down, like traditional empty-nesters who want to reduce their square footage somewhat." Mr. Sokolowski states.
"We've also found young couples who do want to live in the area, but don't want to live in a high-rise environment and want to live in a low-rise environment, but can't find anything under $2.5-million."
Monthly fees for tower suites are not set yet, but townhouses will owe $500 to go toward a pet spa, business centre, games area and bar, as well as a second-floor terrace, fitness, media and dining facilities.
Design and decor highlights by Byron Patton and Associates Ltd. will include townhouses with oak staircases, quartz kitchen counters, up to 10-foot ceilings, heated ensuite floors and optional elevators.
Parking for tower suites will cost $70,000. Occupancy will begin July, 2020.

Children are still eating too much sugar, with reports stating that some are consuming as much as seven teaspoons a day, the same as the average adult.
This excessive amount is said to be hidden in everyday foods such as breakfast cereal, yoghurt, muesli bars and fruit juice.
Appearing on
Sunrise, Australian dietitian Susie Burrell revealed what parent's should avoid feeding their children.
"We have big issues with too much sugar being consumed which basically leads to over consumption and weight gain and a preference for sweet foods," she explained.
For many parents, a packet of sultanas is a quick and easy snack to add to a child's lunchbox before they run off to school.
Unfortunately these are filled to the brim with sugar, as one packet contains up to six grams of sugar.
To make things even more complicated, Susie explained that there is a difference between natural sugar and concentrated sugar.
"What the message is for parents is that these are concentrated forms of sugar. If you consume a piece of fruit you're going to get between 15 and 20 grams," Susie said.
"But when we eat concentrated, which is the case with dried fruit, in a single case of sultanas you're getting close to six teaspoons of sugar which is programming these kids to look for these sweet foods."
Susie explained that the same thing applies with juice.
This is because it is a concentrated amount of juice and sugar and it doesn't have the benefit of the fibre and other filling aspects.
"The worst offenders are fruit juices. Some kids are getting two or three a day and
you're looking at four teaspoons in a single serve," she said.
"The breakfast juices are notorious for being packed full of sugars - up to six teaspoons. You're better to have plain milk with Milo as you're getting less sugar."
Lucky cereals aren't as bad as they used to be, with many companies trying to improve their sugar content over the years.
This doesn't mean though that most cereal boxes can be considered a healthy meal.
"They used to be horrendous but they're still not great. You're getting a few teaspoons [f sugar] per serve, but they're better than they were," Susie said.
Most people think yoghurt is a quick and easy snack that is packed with nutrition but Susie warned parents that they need to be careful with yoghurt marketed towards kids.
"Some of them are quite big serves and you're getting up to 12 grams, close to three teaspoons, in a single serve and a lot of small kids are eating those and they're too big," she said.
"The less
added sugar in their diet the better. Primary school aged children should eat no more than four teaspoons (two grams) of added sugar."
Another tip Susie shared is preparing snacks that are plainer so you can dodge the excessive amount of sugar.
She recommended
cheese and crackers and baking things at home.
"Snack bars can have up to three teaspoons [of sugar], even the ones that look pretty healthy," Susie explained.
"Fresh fruit is always best and plain yoghurt with a little bit of added fruit - or ones with five grams of sugar per serve."

SPOILER WARNING: Read on, only if you don't mind spoilers for both the first movie and the manga storyline.
The Story…
Kurono Kei and his fellow Gantzers are determined to survive their inexplicable situation. Their driving force is to revive their fallen comrades, but a new alien menace — their most powerful yet; has other plans.
Who will live long enough to reach their goal…
Everything's Different, From Here On Out…
The conclusion to a two part movie series, based on the hit manga series; Gantz: Perfect Answer continues some months after the story of the first film. Unlike the first movie however, this one takes a complete departure from the narrative canon of the comics and instead opts for a decidedly pedestrian angle on the remaining proceedings.
For the simple fact that these movies are based on a still ongoing comics storyline, it was always inevitable that the filmmakers would have to take their own approach to the ending. So, whereas the first film attempted to stay as close as it could to the manga it's based on; the second film is only slightly in sticking with the books.
In the comics, there is no big bad. We humans are the equivalent of cockroaches. A mere smear on the galactic windshield. Our perceived importance, not shared with the greater universe. Gantz it turns out, has the goal to change that. What seemed like a sadistic system when the comics begin becomes earth's savior. That grander and special effects heavy story angle has been jettisoned, probably for budgetary reasons, and replaced by a major tweaking of elements from earlier in the manga storyline.
In the comics, the Gantzers are forced into battle with not only aliens, but at times other super-powered humans. In fact, it is revealed at one point that vampires exist. One of those vampires is Kurono's brother Akira (briefly mentioned in the first film, but not used in either). The vampires are an especially formidable enemy and many high profile lives are lost on the Gantzers side. It is the vampires that the movie decides to turn into the final big bad. In the movies though, the vampires are straight up aliens with no connection to the humans. They do share the same revenge directive that exists in the comics, but the ultimate conclusion to that is necessarily different.
I'll stop short of giving away the actual ending, but suffice to say there is a definite ending, but also a sequel idea setup that completely departs from the comics. If you're a diligent reader of the books, it's unlikely you'll be happy with this new setup.
I'm interested to read impressions from folks that have no exposure to the comics.
Let's Go…
The action (as with the first film) is top notch. Great choreography, smart use of special effects, and with the thumping score an overall kickass homage to the fights from the comics.
The first 3rd of the film is quite dialog heavy so, folks with short attention spans should know to hold on. There a handful of fight sequences that follow in the middle and end of the film that should make up for the lull in the beginning. The only disappointment action-wise is that all the fights are against the vampires. Fans of the manga looking to see some of your favourite alien battles, you're out of luck.
The fights that exist are still quite entertaining; with admirable use of CG body doubles and wire-work.
The Verdict…
For the action – A
For the story – C+
For performances – C+
Overall a grade of B-

Yesterday's sale was no exception. I had been to a garage sale at this house a few years ago and bought some killer stuff. Mostly I remember buying stacks of vintage pulp mystery novels for 10 cents each. I have been kicking myself ever since for not buying the whole lot of them- probably around 100 were left when I was done picking the ones I wanted. I was hoping there would be more this time, but sadly not.
But I did get some other cool stuff. Literally.
Did you ever wonder what people used before those re-usable blue ice packs came out? Me neither, but now we all know. All three of these are steel cans filled with some sort of liquid. I have one in the freezer now and will test it out on our next picnic. I thought I already had a complete vintage picnic set, with the basket and the thermos, etc., but now I know it wasn't actually complete until now.
I got all 3 for a quarter- worth it for the graphics alone! I'm guessing these are from the 50s, going by the car and the clothes on the package.
I am such a sucker for vintage lamps, especially when they come in pairs and are cheap ($3). These did come with shades, but unfortunately not tiered fiberglass ones. If I do decide to use these I might put the original burlap shades back on, or pilfer some of the tiered shades from my other lamps.
Otherwise they might go to my Etsy store.
I also found these great 1940s vintage Christmas candles for $3 for all 4. The bases are bakelite, the "candles" are rolled paper and they all work. I have a bunch of vintage red window candles already, but didn't have quite enough. Now I have a couple to spare.
This was the most serendipitous find. My express purpose for going out this morning was to buy another blueberry bush for our berry patch. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of putting a rather large, wet, dirty and berry-stained plant in the car, so I brought a large trash bag along. But after stopping at the estate sale I had this great galvanized tub ($3) to carry it in. I always buy these whenever I find them (which isn't often) because they are so versatile (and did I ever mention that I have a love affair with galvanized stuff? :) Plus this has it's original label, and it's a shade smaller- 3 gal- than the usual wash tub.

For every Hi-Tops and Children's Video Library, there's a Clubhouse Pictures, Atlantic/Kushner-Locke, Maltese Companies, Playhouse Video, and Southern Star Productions. Never heard of these children's home video companies? By the time you've finished this article, you will have!
Previously, on Retroist…
We've covered the short life and history of Hi-Tops Video, as well as the shorter life of Children's Video Library. We watched their logos, found out where you've seen them, and taken a trip down memory lane with some "coming attractions." We laughed, we cried, we all remembered Rainbow Brite.
It was beautiful!
We knew these children's home video companies. They graced many a VHS box, their releases were numerous, and their releases were memorable programs and movies. Plus, how could we ever forget a shoe lacing up before it jumps to the background, or a bunch of balloons flying toward us as the Irish Jig plays?
But, for these well-knowns, what about the little-knowns?
Children's Home Video Companies: The Little-Knowns
My friends, not all nostalgia is beautiful or well-remembered. Take, for instance, children's home video companies that are not as well known.
Not everything is Hi-Tops and its lacing shoe, or Children's Video Library and its balloon-bouncing Irish Jig.
In fact, there existed…
Clubhouse Pictures
Upload via LogicSmash
I'm surprised by this one. Clubhouse Pictures was a sublabel/children's home video company imprint of Atlantic Entertainment Group. Atlantic released children's movies – Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (aka A Weird Animated Star Wars Ripoff), The Smurfs and the Magic Flute, He-Man and She-Ra: Secret of the Sword, and Here Come the Littles.
Hey, I never said they put out good children's movies!
But Atlantic figured on why leaving well enough alone, when they could have a children's division? Enter Clubhouse Pictures, whose releases included television shows (the animated Teen Wolf Saturday morning cartoon), Heathcliff: The Movie, The Adventures of the American Rabbit, and Go-Bots: Battle of the Rock Lords. Again, not the greatest output. The sublabel only lasted from 1985 until 1987, with its parent company ending operations in 1989 amidst financial troubles.
Of the rare bunch, I love this logo. The animation is very 80s, there's no music to detract from the "simple, but cute and effective," and now very nostalgic nature of it. And who doesn't love the sound of kids laughing?
Related to Clubhouse Video (and its parent company, Atlantic Entertainment Group/Atlantic Releasing) was another sublabel, Atlantic/Kushner-Locke.
The Kushner-Locke Company existed as an independent film and television production company, handling children's fare such as The Spiral Zone, the animated Teen Wolf TV series in its second season, The Brave Little Toaster movies, Pound Puppies: Legend of Big Paw, and Nutcracker: The Motion Picture.
Founded in 1983, this company was independent of Atlantic, but combined with them for several films, and outliving them before meeting their end via bankruptcy in 2001.

I actually like this logo, despite the flashing. I think it is the music not hitting me over the head that helps too.
And since some of these companies seemingly were connected, there was another related company called The Maltese Companies
The Maltese Companies
Founded in 1986, The Maltese Companies stayed afloat until 1990. I actually remember this logo from my days of watching Maple Town. This logo was also seen on The Spiral Zone. It also appeared on movies during the late 1980s (notably the 1988 TV-movie remake of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial). Of the logos I've named so far, this one is probably among the rarest, though it does get some stiff competition from Clubhouse Pictures in the "rare" department.
And it has nice logo music.

Pretty bird. :-)
Oh, and this is the version used in The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial:
I like the animation on this one.
Playhouse Video
Playhouse Video was actually part of 20th Century Fox's CBS/Fox Home video, used from 1985 until 1991 to release children's and family movies. They're the only one on this list to be a sublabel of a higher profile (read: not independent film) company.
Playhouse Video releases included the Planet of the Apes movies from 1968-1973, Shirley Temple's films, The Muppets, Mr. Rogers, and Dr. Seuss specials by DePatie-Freleng Enterprise. And for us Whovians out there, Playhouse Video also released the earliest Doctor Who videos.
Upload via DudeThatLogo
That's pretty cool too!
I have enough of a memory to remember all of the logos in this article, but this one in particular is one I fondly remember from those aforementioned Dr. Seuss and Shirley Temple movies, as we carried those movies in our "catalog" section at the video store (movies split by genre that are over one year old).
I particularly like the colors and even the music is none to shabby. It has a pretty standard 80s sound.
Upload via DudeThatLogo
And finally, a production company that was actually the foreign counterpart of a well-known animation company in the United States…
Southern Star Productions/Hanna-Barbera Australia
Why ease you in? This logo is a "seeing is believing" sort.
In Australia, Southern Star Productions (now Endemol Australia, so yes, in some way it still exists) was Hanna-Barbera's Australian division (called Hanna-Barbera Pty. Australia), established as such in 1972, with the Hamlyn Group acquiring 50% of Hanna-Barbera Australia in 1974. In 1984, Hanna-Barbera Australia established a Los Angeles division, bringing them to the United States as Southern Star Productions.
Programs produced by this company were animated in Hanna-Barbera's Sydney, Australia studios, carrying the name Southern Star Productions/Hanna-Barbera Australia. In the United States, their programs included the animated Teen Wolf Saturday morning cartoon, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, The Berenstain Bears Show, Peter Pan and the Pirates (totally remember this!), Mad Scientist, and CBS Storybreak.
In 1988, the company's Australia animation facilities were sold after Taft-Hardie's buyout, and Southern Star Productions/Hanna-Barbera Australia operated until 1991, and sold to Turner Broadcasting System.
As for their logo, well, let's just say Hanna-Barbera's Australian cousin is a little freaky…
Upload via LogicSmash
Yikes, freakin' lightning!
Also, this version, without The Berenstain Bears Show music (Upload via LogicSmash, I'm having trouble embedding the video).
Children's Home Video Companies: The Little-Knowns Become the Now-Knowns
You know, I'd like to think that every logo is well-known by the nostalgic sort that remember them best, no matter how rare. Before doing the research for these logos, they were all ones I was familiar with from some passing point in my life. That is, with the exception of Southern Star Productions/Hanna-Barbera Australia, that one managed to slip the deep recesses of my mind until a decade ago, when I spotted it on YouTube. Yeah, I didn't like it. Still don't.
It's like the Screen Gems of the children's world…with lightning!

Shame as a weapon - SELF CARE FOR NURSES, Ep. 13/
Do you think of yourself as a person who would use shame as a weapon?
In this video I talked about how sometimes we try to mask our shame in humor.
Sometimes we don't even bother.
Have you ever heard had a bully ask you "How did you even get through nursing school?"
Have you ever said "You better get a thicker skin if you want to work here."
How about the exasperated (and totally unhelpful) "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???"
These are all shame-based comments. They are designed to hurt the person we are talking to.
You may agree with my examples, you may not. If you want to find exceptions for how these comments could be totally innocent, I'm sure you can find them. I encourage you, however, to consider what I am saying.
Be aware of your words. Be aware of your intent. You get to decide what is right and wrong for you, but make it be a choice, not an afterthought. Not something you get defensive about afterwards. Decide who the person is that you want to be, and make the things you do support that vision.
We all make mistakes. Even me! I've been called out for some of the jokes I've shared on the Facebook page, for reasons I hadn't even considered before I shared them. And that's ok. I don't have to go on a rant about how people are "just too sensitive these days", because true or not, that doesn't help me be the person I want to be.
Start getting clear about where you are headed in life, because if you can master that, magical things start to happen.

7 Favorite YouTube Channels for Guitar Lessons
Before I get into my favorite YouTube channels for guitar lessons, let me give you a quick back story about why this matters to me.
Like many inventions, SMASHmouse was created to solve a problem. If it takes two hands to make music, how can you control a computer or mobile device when you're playing an instrument? You can't. That is until now… SMASHmouse lets you to Kick It to Click It and keep on playing.
For me, the problem became real about 5 years ago when I wanted to pick up the guitar again. I started learning by watching guitar lessons on YouTube. I would get very frustrated just trying to start and stop a video, or rewinding a part of the lesson, and quickly getting my hands back on the guitar to play again.
Now more than ever, musicians have access to technology to learn, play, record and perform music. But many times musicians have to stop playing to use these new tools, breaking their rhythm. This is why I invented SMASHmouse.
I'm passionate about helping people like you learn music online. So, I thought my first post to you would be an overview of my favorite YouTube channels for guitar lessons! I've listed them below in alphabetical order.
Easy to learn Guitar lessons – While they don't have the most songs in their library. I mention them for 2 reasons: 1. Diversity – from Christmas tunes to Star Wars themes, there is a little bit of everything. 2. Tabs – they include tabs on screen and printables. Since I first started my 'digital' lessons by finding free tabs online (no, you don't have to read music to learn guitar!) and playing along my iTunes, I still have a fondness for tabs and how much they help me learn.
Guitar Zoom – I was introduced to Steve Stine and the Guitar Zoom channel by friends, and they helped me bang my head whenever I wanted to return to the Heavy Metal days of my youth! But they also offer the Blues I prefer to play now. Great technique stuff for those who wish to play lead and have killer solos (me, I'm limited in my talent so I focus on rhythm skills!).
Kids Guitar Zone – The name pretty much says it all when it comes to why I put it on this list, since I haven't been a kid in longer than I care to share. It's kid safe, kid friendly, provides printouts of the tabs and it's free. And he does a simple version of Shake It Off that my kids can play.
Let's Play Guitar – Again, two key reasons for being on my list. 1. While I don't play fingerstyle (I'm too old and have too little time to master this with the family, but someday!), if you want to, these are some great tutorials. 2. I have been an acoustic guitar player from the beginning (couldn't plug in an amp with 2 babies in the house), and these focus on acoustic. If you're deciding what to play, many will tell you learn on an acoustic as it's the harder to play (vs. electric) and you can better play electric later due to better technique.
Marty Music – Marty was the first person I truly gravitated to yeas ago when I first started using YouTube and is my personal favorite. His authenticity and personality, combined with a musical taste that provides songs I want to play, make him a winner for amateurs and experts alike. Now he's added editorials, gear reviews and techniques in addition to song lessons so his site is a one-stop shop.
Produce Like a Pro – A bit of a teaser for some of our future blog content, but with tools like GarageBand, even the youngest amateurs are making recordings of songs now. Warren Huart is a pro producer who helps you learn how to take it to the next level. More on the home studio craze coming soon!
Tab Sheet Music – I must admit I'm not sure what to make of this one. A crazy mix of guitar tabs that are easy to follow, but the playlist is a from cartoons, video games and anime. Freaky fun indeed!
Check out these channels to help you become a better guitarist and let me know what you think!

Hi friends,
Black is one of my favorite colors to wear! It is easy to match an goes with practically everything…and, it's slimming! Black never goes out of style, plus you can wear it year round. My closet includes at least one item in black for each category: shoes, sandals, boots, tennis shoes, belts, scarves, pashminas, gloves, hats, jewelry, and of course all types of clothing and undergarments! I have lots of black pants, skirts, and cardigan sweaters (I take one of them practically on every trip). The most common shoe color in my closet is black. My favorite jacket is a black leather one. So, you get the idea….I love wearing black!
The jacket I am wearing in this outfit is part of a suit, it comes with a black skirt. I decided to jazz it up by mixing it up with red tapered pants, a leopard belt, and a bold gold necklace! The red pants lighten up the outfit and add color to it! Since the jacket is 3/4 length, I wore heels to elongate my legs. I like how the red stitching on the jacket adds a special touch of uniqueness. I wore this outfit to work and a theater performance in the evening. It was so comfortable & fun to wear!
Hope you like the look!
Do you have black clothing & accessories? How do you match them? Do you have a favorite item in black in your closet?
Let's stay connected – I post almost daily on Facebook:Paola Hernandez-Jiao: Latina Life And Style, hope to see you there as well! Leave your comments or let me know what other looks you'd like to see or topics you'd like me to cover.
The outfit can be worn with the jacket closed.
Or, with the jacket open, which is how I chose to wear it during the day.
The leopard belts adds an additional touch of style to the outfit, don't you think? I wear this belt often, it was definitely a good purchase!
Jacket: Kasper (Macy's); Pants: Calvin Klein (Macy's); Tank Top: Zara; Shoes: Nine West; Belt: Ann Taylor; Necklace: Forever21; Jewelry/Gold Necklace: Lolita's Designs; Bracelets: Coach & Forever21

Utah State feasts on turnovers, drops 52 points on No. 21 Boise State
LOGAN, Utah — Utah State entered Friday night having lost 12 straight games to No. 21 Boise State with its last victory over the Broncos coming 18 years ago. That streak was all but officially over after two quarters.
Utah State upset their Mountain West Conference rival 52-26 thanks to seven first-half turnovers, including a 90-yard interception return by Marwin Evans as time expired in the half. The Aggies scored 21 points in the final 85 seconds of the first half thanks to two fumbles and the interception.
The 52 points are the most Boise State has ever allowed as a ranked team.
"I don't know if I've ever seen anything like it in the first half," said Utah State coach Matt Wells, who called it "maybe the greatest win in program history. "… It's huge. I make no bones about it. I've been saying it out of respect: The road to the championship goes through Boise. Till someone knocks them off the throne, it's theirs.
"I told our guys on Sunday, this isn't the championship game, but it puts you in the driver's seat."
Utah State (4-2, 3-0) holds on to a share of first place in the Mountain Division with the win. Boise State (5-2, 2-1) falls out of first with its first conference loss of the season. Air Force (3-2, 2-0) is at Colorado State (2-4, 0-2) on Saturday.
Utah State hasn't won a championship in any sport since joining the Mountain West in 2013. The Aggies lost 50-19 in this meeting last year.
"I wanted to beat Boise State so bad since last year," Utah State quarterback Kent Meyers said. "We really wanted revenge."
The Broncos served up four fumbles and three interceptions in the first half, including Evans' score at the end of the half.
The Aggies defense ruled the day with a historic effort. The eight total turnovers were the most since forcing seven against Arkansas State in 2003; they matched that in the first half.
Boise State receiver Thomas Sperbeck fumbled away the ball on the second snap of the second half.
"You try to stop the bleeding as fast as possible," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. "You've got to go make plays. You've got to hang onto the football.
"We needed guys to work together. We needed to put some field position in our favor. It just didn't go that way."
Harsin called Utah State's Kyler Fackrell one of the best in the country earlier in the week and the senior linebacker didn't disappoint. He finished with 11 tackles, 2.5 for loss. He also forced a fumble and recovered two. Fellow linebacker Nick Vigil had a game-high 14 tackles, nine in the first half, two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
"I've never been a part of anything like that; that was amazing," Vigil said of the turnovers. "Even our defensive coordinator said, `I don't even know what to say right now.'
"This is obviously a huge win, but it doesn't mean nothing if we don't do anything the rest of the season."
Jalen Davis, Torrey Green and Evans all picked off Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien in the first half.
The Broncos had 10 first downs and the seven turnovers in the first half and allowed 35 points off those turnovers. The Boise State offensive line was simply overwhelmed in the first 30 minutes and Rypien was regularly under pressure.
Meyers threw for 157 yards and a career-high three touchdowns and added 63 yards rushing and a touchdown. Hunter Sharp caught two touchdown passes.
Rypien threw for 299 yards with three interceptions. He entered the game with one interception in four games. Sperbeck had a game-high 156 yards receiving on six catches. Running back Kelsey Young ran for 60 yards and two touchdowns for the Broncos.
"We didn't protect the ball," Boise State safety Darian Thompson said. "The only thing we can do is get back to work."

On 13 October 1967, the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) took the decision to adopt a new definition of the unit of time, the second, based on an atomic transition (Resolution 1 of the 13th CGPM (1967)). The Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency (CCTF) celebrated the 50th anniversary of this fundamental decision by inviting Dr Dennis McCarthy to its 2017 meeting to give a lecture on the history of the second.
Dr McCarthy, a former Director of the Directorate of Time at the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) and former President of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) commissions on Rotation of the Earth and Time, noted during his lecture that a redefinition of the second is very likely to happen. Progress in physics and metrology has allowed the development of new standards in the optical frequency domain, some of which have already been recommended by the CIPM as secondary representations of the second. The best of the optical standards today are about 2 orders of magnitude better than the best of the caesium standards, and 8 orders of magnitude more accurate than the atomic clock developed by Louis Essen in the 1950s.
Time had traditionally been a matter decided by astronomers. The correlation of human activities with the solar rhythm made the 24-hour cycle of the Earth's rotation the natural phenomenon for measuring time, and thus time was defined as a fraction of the day, or to be more precise, of the "mean solar day", representing the apparent motion of the Sun moving around the equator at a constant velocity throughout the year. One mean solar day contained exactly 86 400 seconds.
The second was not among the base units of the metric system adopted in France in 1799; it was Gauss who in 1832 proposed to use the second as the base unit of time in his metre-milligram-second system of units. Thirty years later the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) agreed to use the second of "mean solar time" as the unit of time. With this decision, the CGS and MKS systems had the same second as the base unit of time. This was the situation prior to the signature of the Metre Convention in 1875.
In the 1930s the variability of the Earth's rotation was discovered. Atmospheric changes as well as solid and Earth tides provoke fluctuations of the angular velocity of rotation that change the duration of the mean solar day, thus rendering it difficult to use as the basis for the definition of the second. From ancient astronomical records the Earth shows a slowing trend of about 2.5 milliseconds per century, and measured in uniform units, the day is becoming longer.
With the intention of improving the definition of the unit of time, the International Astronomical Union considered that the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun could give access to a more accurate unit of time, and proposed, in 1952, the second defined as a fraction of the tropical year of 1900. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) decided to adopt this definition and the CGPM ratified the decision in 1960. Contrary to logic, this definition was supported on a method based on a lower frequency of events, demanding averaging over many years to achieve the required accuracy. The associated time scale, "Ephemeris Time" was difficult to realize and consequently had a short life; it was only used in a few astronomical applications and rotational time continued in use as the practical time scale.
In the 1950s, Louis Essen at the National Physical Laboratory (UK) developed a frequency standard based on caesium-133, and demonstrated that it could be 200 times better than astronomical times, achieving an accuracy of 2 parts in 1010. The era of atomic time was born. William Markowitz at the USNO undertook a world-wide programme to express the caesium frequency in terms of the ephemeris second. The value υCs = (9 192 631 770 ± 30) Hz was found, the uncertainty on the frequency being almost entirely due to Ephemeris Time. This value was finally adopted for the definition of the SI second by Resolution 1 of the 13th CGPM (1967).
This steep evolution in accuracy over fifty years since the adoption of the atomic definition of the second recalls Resolution 2 of the 13th CGPM (1967), which considered that there were good perspectives for realizing other frequency standards of better quality than the caesium to serve to define the second, and invited experts to pursue studies in this direction. This resolution has possibly been the driving force behind such an outstanding improvement.

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to Ricardo from Daily Express for the article. Very sweet and kind of you.
It's always nice to hear from a fellow Sabahan. Speaking of Sabahan, strange how I'm hearing unkind stuff from 'a friend who knows me better'.
Even stranger that you introduce yourself with this:
"You don't have to worry about people talking about you behind your back because that only means that you're two steps ahead of them"
But then you go and talk about the family. The very same family you grew up with.
Moving on, I have been on a mission recently to scout for organic cotton and bamboo fibre material. A trying time; but RY just got me a contact whom we are going to meet sometime this week. I am very excited with 'Eleanor'. I have been toying with the idea for months now. Just to make it happen!
But what will those closest say about this mini project of mine? I'm sure they'll be just as concerned, but all I can safely say is this. What if it DOES take off?
I guess we can't be too concerned about what others say and think. Orelse you will go absolutely bonkers trying to please everyone. I leaped at the opportunity of taking my degrees in Mass Communications. Something NOT in the original pipeline, but I am happy even though it might not please the man I love dearly.
I am now going ahead with a new team. From my administration team to a new direction in my career.
This probably doesn't sit well with some, but like I said - we can't go pleasing everyone now can we? We just strive to do the best we can while being kind in our efforts to self enrichment.
God bless the naysayers. Smile. It is not a horrible world if you just stop bitching and concentrate on the rainbows.

We built charcoaldeodorant.org in June 2018, to help educate people about the benefits of natural and organic charcoal for cleaning underarm skin.
With all the toxic ingredients within modern day deodorants and antiperspirants, it is very important to educate the public about it. The emergence of issues like early onset Alzheimer's disease creates a host of questions about what we are putting into our bodies. Evidence has shown elevated aluminum levels relates to increased risks of developing this disease. Cancer might also be influenced but research is still early.
So it is, therefore, our goal to inform the public about natural and safe options that are effective – namely activated charcoal. We are great fans and enjoy educating our readers every day feel free to check out our blog to see our most recent articles.
