LAS VEGAS — Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on Thursday defended the rapper Killer Mike's remark this week that a "uterus doesn't qualify you to be president," saying in more prosaic terms that voters should not pick candidates based on their sex.
"What Mike said, essentially, is that politics should not be — people should not be voting for candidates based on their gender, but on what they believe," Mr. Sanders told reporters aboard a flight from Washington to Nevada, where the Democratic caucuses will be held on Saturday. "I think that makes sense. I don't go around — no one has ever heard me say, 'Hey guys, stand together, vote for a man.' "
Mr. Sanders and Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, have increased their attacks on each other as crucial caucuses and primaries draw near. Aboard the flight on Thursday, Mr. Sanders pointedly accused Mrs. Clinton's campaign of making "incorrect" allegations about his civil rights record and boasted that he was making gains among Latino and black voters, who make up Mrs. Clinton's so-called firewall.
Killer Mike, an Atlanta rapper whose real name is Michael Render, has been one of Mr. Sanders's most visible advocates, and YouTube videos of his interviews with the senator have been viewed more than a million times. Mr. Sanders said Thursday that Killer Mike's remarks had been blown out of proportion, but nonetheless, a social media firestorm was set off Tuesday when the rapper took the stage at a rally Mr. Sanders hosted at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
While talking about his support for Mr. Sanders, he told the crowd of 4,800 people that Mrs. Clinton's policies did not go far enough and described a conversation he had had with a feminist activist.
"I talked to Jane Elliott a few weeks ago, and Jane said, 'Michael, a uterus doesn't qualify you to be president of the United States,' " Killer Mike said, the crowd gasping and cheering as he went on. "You have to have policy that's reflective of social justice. Paying women a fair wage is social justice. Making sure that minorities have jobs is social justice."
Mrs. Clinton would make history as the first woman president, and while she has not asked for special consideration from voters, gender issues have not been far from the surface of the campaign. Two weeks ago, the feminist icon Gloria Steinem set off her own firestorm by positing that young women who have been flocking to support Mr. Sanders were doing so to be close to young men in the Sanders camp. And Madeleine Albright, the first woman to be secretary of state, said at a Clinton rally that there was a "special place in hell" for women who did not help other women. Both Ms. Steinem and Ms. Albright later apologized.
Christina Reynolds, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Clinton's campaign, issued a pointed statement Thursday night in response to Mr. Sanders's defense of Killer Mike.
"Senator Sanders might have missed Hillary Clinton's lifetime of experience breaking down barriers," Ms. Reynolds said in an email. "Debates about the issues are fair game, but he and his surrogates should stop assuming that our supporters must only be driven by one issue or one body part."
Earlier this week, Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, condemned Killer Mike's comments, telling CNN: "Obviously, if the suggestion there is that Hillary Clinton is asking anyone to vote for her based on her gender, that's completely off base. This is just unfortunately the latest in a series of instances where some of Senator Sanders's top surrogates have made comments, to say the least, that are off script."
On Thursday, Mr. Sanders also criticized Mrs. Clinton and some of her surrogates for questioning his civil rights record and his commitment to an immigration overhaul. He said recent attacks on him showed that Mrs. Clinton's campaign was "in disarray" because he is gaining momentum: He virtually tied her in Iowa and defeated her soundly in New Hampshire, the first two states to vote.
Mr. Sanders said Mrs. Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, had supported policies in the 1990s that harmed low-income people and made life harder in many black communities.
"Bill Clinton was the president who led the effort to deregulate Wall Street," he said. "He was the president who fought for the disastrous Nafta trade agreement and was the president who pushed the so-called welfare reform, which was absolutely disastrous for low-income people in general and the African-American community in particular."
Mr. Sanders said he believed he was gaining strength among black and Latino voters, who have been strong supporters of Mrs. Clinton in polls and will be crucial as the race moves to more diverse states. While younger voters have backed him by large margins, he acknowledged that he had "work to do with older people," as well as with superdelegates, the party's leaders and elected officials, who have mostly been leaning toward Mrs. Clinton.
"If we do well, if we mobilize working-class people, young people, and if the polls continue to show that I am the stronger candidate against Trump or whoever the Republicans may nominate, I think your average superdelegate is going to say, 'I want to back a winner,' " Mr. Sanders said. " 'I want to make sure that Republicans do not gain control of the White House. I'm going to support Bernie Sanders.' "

The Best Advice from the Best Boss
Alex Steinman
I work at the greatest place in the world that behaves more like a family than a business- it's one of our founding principles. Our chairman and founder, Pat Fallon, passed away on Friday, leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of all who knew him. People who didn't know him asked me, "Have you ever met him?" as if he were a corporate board member we only dragged out for party tricks. I have not only met him, but I have dined at his house, met some of his wonderful children, and was doused in fart spray too many times to count by Pat himself.
Pat was the most humorous, compassionate and fearless business leader I've ever met, and he gave the best advice. Here's my favorite Pat nugget:
When I was 100 months pregnant, Pat asked if I wanted his best parenting advice. I said yes because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing, and he had raised some pretty amazing humans. What he told me seemed simple. He said, "Love your kids no matter what they do."
At the time, it seemed like such silly advice, but I took it to heart because the look in Pat's eyes told me I would understand someday.
That day came. I was on my way out the door Sunday night to meet up with a mama friend for a D-I-WINE night of crafting and booze. I went to the bathroom, where Matt was giving Cooper a bath, to kiss them goodbye. Cooper stood up, leaned in for a kiss and proceeded to shit the tub.
As I fished tiny turds out of the tub while Matt got him ready for bed (seems like he got the better end of that deal), I heard Pat say again, "Love them no matter what they do." I think what he meant was, "Love them even when they're assholes."
I know this isn't the worst mess Cooper will get into, and sometimes it will be hard to love. In those moments, I'll remember Pat's words and choose compassion.

There was another loser in Britain's elections — Mayor de Blasio.
The British Labor Party's humiliating defeat Friday came eight months after Hizzoner guaranteed them that they would win if they ran a progressive campaign like his own.
"Your agenda is a blueprint of what a fairer, more prosperous, stronger United Kingdom will look like. That is not only why you must win, it is why you will win!" he said in a Sept. 24 keynote speech at the left-leaning party's conference in Manchester.
The Conservative Party swept to power in the parliamentary elections, winning a majority that returns Prime Minister David Cameron to office.
It was Labor's worst loss in three decades, despite de Blasio saying in his keynote that "the people of the UK are ready for bold, progressive change."
The mayor also invoked his "tale of two cities," saying it applied to London as well as New York, while praising Labor leader Ed Miliband, who resigned his post after Friday's loss.
"Now I've said that growing inequality is the crisis of our time in New York City. It's true here, as well," de Blasio had said.
He also threw in a dose of class warfare, bashing Conservatives for creating a "cost-of-living crisis" in the UK.

Featured image: Homes located inside of Randolph Estates. | File
The two homes the village of Bellwood is building near Englewood Avenue and Butterfield Road aren't finished yet, but one of them has already found a buyer and the village is optimistic that the other buyer will be found before long.
The Bellwood Board of Trustees unanimously approved the sale during its Sept. 19 regular meeting. After the meeting, Harvey said that the village plans to build more homes near the intersection of St. Charles Rd. and 49th Street once the construction is complete.
Harvey said that the village envisions a plan to keep building homes down the road, but he didn't have anymore details about the plan yet.
"Once these two are done, we're going to build two more at St. Charles [Road] and 49th [Avenue]," he said. "And we have a vision to do more."
The two homes are part of Engelwood Estates, one of three residential developments the village has been building since 2012. The developments, which include Englewood Estates, Bellwood Estates and Randolph Estates, are part of the government's effort to provide current and prospective residents with larger housing options.
All homes in the Bellwood Estates have already been built and sold, as have all 12 houses in Randolph Estates, village officials said.
According to Crain's Chicago Business, all of this construction helped raise Bellwood median home prices. During the first quarter of 2018, the median home price in the village was $163,000 — up roughly 33 percent, from $123,000 in 2017.
At Englewood Estates, three of the planned five homes have been built and sold. The remaining two took longer due to the fact that they are located on Bellwood side of the Bellwood/Hillside border and Bellwood officials wanted to make sure that there were no issues with their neighbors before construction starts. The village board approved the construction contracts during its April 18 meeting.
During the Sept. 19 meeting, Trustee Jophelia Boston reported that both houses are "50 percent complete," and there was already an offer for the one located at 517 Englewood Avenue. VFP

Dr. Bernstein (Richard K. Bernstein MD) is a physician and an advocate for a low-carbohydrate diabetes diet to help achieve normal blood sugars for diabetics. Bernstein himself has type 1 diabetes since being 12 years old (he is now in his 80's).
Bernstein's program for treating diabetes is highly regarded amongst his patients and achieves great blood sugar control, which reduces some or all of the complications associated with diabetes. This was confirmed by a study published in Pediatrics that Bernstein co-authored. "Management of Type 1 Diabetes With a Very Low–Carbohydrate Diet":
Lennerz, B. S., Barton, A., Bernstein, R. K., Dikeman, R. D., Diulus, C., Hallberg, S., … & Ludwig, D. S. (2018). Management of Type 1 Diabetes With a Very Low–Carbohydrate Diet. Pediatrics, e20173349.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate glycemic control among children and adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who consume a very low–carbohydrate diet (VLCD).
METHODS: We conducted an online survey of an international social media group for people with T1DM who follow a VLCD. Respondents included adults and parents of children with T1DM. We assessed current hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (primary measure), change in HbA1c after the self-reported beginning of the VLCD, total daily insulin dose, and adverse events. We obtained confirmatory data from diabetes care providers and medical records.
RESULTS: Of 316 respondents, 131 (42%) were parents of children with T1DM, and 57% were of female sex. Suggestive evidence of T1DM (based on a 3-tier scoring system in which researchers took into consideration age and weight at diagnosis, pancreatic autoimmunity, insulin requirement, and clinical presentation) was obtained for 273 (86%) respondents. The mean age at diagnosis was 16 ± 14 years, the duration of diabetes was 11 ± 13 years, and the time following a VLCD was 2.2 ± 3.9 years. Participants had a mean daily carbohydrate intake of 36 ± 15 g. Reported mean HbA1c was 5.67% ± 0.66%. Only 7 (2%) respondents reported diabetes-related hospitalizations in the past year, including 4 (1%) for ketoacidosis and 2 (1%) for hypoglycemia.
CONCLUSIONS: Exceptional glycemic control of T1DM with low rates of adverse events was reported by a community of children and adults who consume a VLCD. The generalizability of these findings requires further studies, including high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Interview: B. Terrell and Sierra Shanette From District of PR
We connected with the owners of the Atlanta based PR agency District of PR, Sierra Shanette and B. Terrell, for an exclusive interview to discuss their brand, what they look for in the artists they provide services to and what makes their client RnB/Soul singer-songwriter Siergio such a special artist.
After reading our Q&A with Sierra and B. Terrell, be sure to follow them on social media and stream/download Siergio's latest release "This Will Hurt" on Spotify.
What is District of PR (DPR) and what motivated you to create the brand?
DPR is a team of influencers who provide full service to brands and talent. We help strategize, create, publish and distribute content for our clients. The company was created after meeting with a mutual client and finally exchanging numbers and having a sit down. We decided it was better to merge our ideas and contacts to truly elevate both of our visions and to be innovative for our legacy in this business.
Why is Atlanta such a vibrant city when it comes to music, especially urban music (ie Rnb/Soul and Hip)?
B. Terrell: So much excellence has come from Atlanta. It's such a melting pot for art. There's no judgment and people are enabled to be their true selves.
Sierra Shanette: I'm from New Orleans, so I definitely have an ear for amazing music. Atlanta artists have without a doubt made an indelible mark on the music scene. From the Dungeon Family to the Migos, the city's influence is undeniable. Atlanta is such a vibrant city for all art because the city, like New Orleans, is a cornucopia for creativity.
What are the most important things that you look for in artists that you represent?
B. Terrell: in looking for an artist and as cliché as it may sound, originality is key. For me, confidence is also a big part. You have to be sure that your art is what the consumer wants and also what they need.
Sierra Shanette: I gauge a creative by how memorable they are. Will your song cross my mind as I randomly sing around my apartment or do I envision my circle of friends in the fictitious world your characters live in? Prior clients of mine gave me those feels, so when the opportunity to represent crooner Siergio came along it was an easy 'yes' for me.
What makes Siergio such a special artist?
B. Terrell: Siergio has the total makings of a star. He believes in being himself in all avenues. He's aware of who he is as an artist, and doesn't believe in taking shortcuts. I've never met anyone that exhausts so much of self as Siergio does. He believes in giving beyond 100%, and because of that -- it's translated into the successes he's had thus far.
Sierra Shanette: Siergio is truly a gem. His vocal ability is uncanny, his writing skills are undeniable and he's truly a pleasure to work with. Following the success of his chart topping sophomore album, 'This Will Hurt', someone dubbed him "an Indie Legend". He's an artist with a clear vision for the trajectory of his career who knows the beauty in building the proper team.
In your opinion, when is an artist ready to seek the services of a PR agency?
B. Terrell: All artists are different, but typically those artists that have the demand along with the fan support. That moment they realize that it's time to allow someone to assist in the next step of aiding their career in moving forward. Having a substantial body of work is also a good first step.
What's next for District of PR?
B. Terrell: We're currently continuing to grow the brand along with some future endeavors in regards to tours and endorsements. We believe in pushing the envelope and delivering clear and authentic art and content.
What do you enjoy most about your role at District of PR?
B. Terrell: simple. THE CREATIVE PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH!
Sierra Shanette: Yea, the entire process is a great journey. I've fully enjoyed our inaugural year with DPR. The best aspects of representing Siergio have been witnessing the makings of his latest album and sitting in on a couple of his studio sessions. Also, casting the ladies in his 'This Will Hurt' visuals is always a great moment, from the beautiful Brooke Montalvo to the 'temptresses' in Temporary.
How can artists who are looking for PR support get in touch with DPR?
Sierra Shanette: Follow DPR on Instagram & Twitter: @DistrictofPR
B. Terrell: @itsbterrell on IG & Twitter

We are deeply shocked, saddened and grieved by the violent, depraved and cowardly terror attack on London Westminster and innocent people last Wednesday. It has left the painful scar on Londoners, the entire country and many citizens of the world who were visiting our spectacular London city.
We pass on our heartfelt and sincere condolences to the family and friends of
- PC Keith Palmer, who gave his life on duty defending Westminster
- Teacher Aysha Frade who lost her life crossing Westminster Bridge to pick her children
- US tourist, Kurt W. Cochran
- Those innocent people, walking alongside Westminster wounded and many in critical condition.
Those who share similar evil and extremist ideologies, for their gains, will take advantage of such incidents to drive communities further apart.
As people from different faiths and cultures in Luton, we will not be driven apart. We commit to stay united by our common humanity and work for the common good while condemning such evil acts in strongest terms.
Our message is loud and clear – hate mongers, extremists and terrorists have no place in our civil and democratic society. We should all be united and vigilant towards such evildoers and support one another.
To stand together in solidarity, especially in such times of darkness and adversity, all are invited to join in on
Friday 24th March at 5:30pm outside Luton Town Hall, George Street, Luton, LU1 2BQ
to offer our condolences to those bereaved and to strengthen our collective hope that lies in our shared humanity.

Pack up the kids and the family fortune 'cause we're off to the cinema.
Admission to the movie $$$. Popcorn (popped maze, fluffy Styrofoam, proof that with salt and butter one can make anything palatable) $$$$$ (… I'm glad that mortgage lender was still available to approve the third loan on the house so we could afford the popcorn , of course the sub-prime loan debacle began subsequent to that loan, hhmmmm??) and a Drink $$$$ (anything with that much salt requires a beverage). Having to take a second job to pay for it all… priceless.
"What be this bleating in mine ears???" Baaa, Baaaa. Ah, a flock of sheep; all queued up for their ration of salted, buttered, Styrofoam and caffeinated, colored sugar water to wash it all down. (And for those disillusioned few who believe they have escaped the prison of said sheep fold, I offer exhibit A to the court, bottled H2O. Only the worst of prisoners are restricted to Styrofoam and water rations.
I watch, mesmerized, as one sheep followed the other and each was fleeced, right there at the counter. Then they walk away with a goofy self-satisfied grin that flies in the face of the fact that they have just squandered a full 1/3 of their children's college education fund. Baaa, Baaaa! "Next!" and I take my turn at the shearing.
What movie could be so compelling I would risk financial and gastronomic ruin to attend? None other than that cinematic epic of popular culture, that masterpiece of film making, none other than that icon of hip, debonair and coolness…(I get goose bumps just thinking about it)… give it up for, "Alvin and the Chipmunks!" aaaaaahhhhh!! Woooo hooo!
As I sat there taking one for the team (so-to-speak) a great line from another strain on my budget came to mind and I settled in like a penguin on the beach in Madagascar, "Smile and wave boys, Smile and wave."
Then it began to dawn on me, hey! this is a pretty good commentary on popular culture and on the Hollywood entertainment machine in general. It was heartening to see someone actually expose (albeit in a backhanded, under the radar manner) the star machine for the meat factory it is and the industry moguls for prostitutes they are. Wow! This reality thing has gone from Survivor, to the Biggest Loser, to Smarter than a 5th Grader, to Alvin and the big screen. Reality meets fantasy in a surreal rock-u-mentary featuring the meteoric rise to stardom of three striped rodents.
To be honest, without the trite remarks, the movie did a good job of showing the pitfalls of life without boundaries, My radar clicked on when the antagonist said, "There is only one rule…. There are no rules!" That is the essence of our present pop culture, No rules! No boundaries! Freedom! Complete autonomous freedom leads to anarchy. Alvin and the Boys were a fantastic visual representation of that truth. More of the, "If it works for you then it is ok," mentality. One only has to look at Lindsey and Britney and a host of other pop icons to see the natural outcome of complete autonomous freedom. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, especially when it is given at the personal level.
So, all in all, I would have to give the rodents a thumb's up. It may not be Oscar material but it is a good springboard to initiate conversation with your children concerning boundaries, rules and what true freedom means.

It has public openings on specific days across the year and I arrived at one of these expecting to hear the loud clunking of gears and machinery with steam belching out of every available door and window within the main building. It turns out that it is virtually silent so the recordings here are simply what was achievable with a pair of contact mics on key locations including some smaller steam machinery on display at the back of the building.

The economic fallout from Britain's decision to leave the European Union hasn't convinced the Queensland government to stop its $4 billion raid on a public servants' superannuation scheme.
The state government was warned that international market forces could cause QSuper's defined benefit scheme to fall into deficit if the government repatriated $4 billion of its $10 billion surplus, as it outlined in the budget.
"We've made our decision ... we are monitoring what is happening in the... world ... but, for Queensland at the moment, it's business as usual," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said on Tuesday.

The D.C. swamp is overrun with Progressives, NeverTrumpers, the Deep State and the mainstream media who have come up with a dozen scenarios to remove President Donald Trump from the White House.
One of the more popular tactics to destroy and remove the President from office is the 25th Amendment. How ironic is it that those who lack respect for the Constitution would use it against those they despise.
In a video run on the Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer delivers a message to those about their invoking the 25th Amendment.
The Blaze by Sarah Taylor
In a video published by The Washington Post, Krauthammer broke down what the 25th Amendment does — and should not do — and called politicians threatening to invoke the amendment "dangerous."
…"Rank incompetence is not qualification for inability to perform," Krauthammer began his video, addressing those tossing around the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment. "We shouldn't even think about invoking the 25th Amendment — which is procedure for removing the president for inability to perform."

Fwd: MC Notes – Judy & Phil's Wedding – firstname.lastname@example.com – Gmail
What were the top three memorable moments on your wedding day?
Where are you going for your honeymoon? Any special reason for going there?
We are thinking Maui in the winter. Just anywhere hot with palm trees, beaches and a beautiful view. After planning the wedding, we just want to not have to think about anything!
What are the best wedding advice that you want to share with other couples?
Love with your entire heart. Always remember the reasons why you love them. Always tell them that you love them, and never stop giving kisses or holding hands. They are the only "one" in your life that will always be there. Never take advantage of that. Never forget how much they mean to you, and never stop appreciating each other.
Check out their fun engagement photos HERE.
Venue: The Glencoe Golf & Country Club

Not My Fault
Willingness to take responsibilities is usually seen as a sign of personal maturity, but Donald Trump prefers to blame others.
On Sunday, the U.S President refused to bear responsibility for a hypothetical terrorist attack on the country, telling his Twitter followers they should "blame" a federal judge and the American court system for suspending his ban on travel from seven Muslim-majority countries for being unlawful.
"Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril," Trump tweeted on Sunday, two days after federal judge from Seattle suspended his ban on refugees and Muslim travellers and a day after a panel of judges denied the White House's emergency appeal to reinstate the ban.
"If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!" he wrote on Twitter. His use of the word "Bad!" sounds like treating his followers like children.
The fact is that the White House has offered no evidence for Mr. Trump's suggestion that potential terrorists would now pour over the border because of the judge's order, reports The New York Times. Since Sept. 11, 2001, no American has been killed in a terrorist attack on American soil by anyone who immigrated from any of the seven countries named in Mr. Trump's order.
Far more people affected
Signed nine days ago, the order caused chaos at airports around the US as officials detained and deported travelers who would have been allowed into the country only a day earlier, and protesters gathered around the country.
Now, with the temporary suspension of the ban, thousands of immigrants are rushing to enter the US.
The British paper The Guardian explains the case of a Melbourne schoolboy who was blocked from going to space camp in America following Donald Trump's controversial visa ban is now celebrating news he's been cleared to travel. Pouya Ghadirian, 15, was among the 55,000 Iranian-Australians that were affected by the travel ban, despite australian nationals don't need a visa to enter the US.
Hundreds of doctors, professors and other professionals with double nationality working in the US were stuck at airports or left outside the planes because of the travel ban.
Stronger United
In a rare coordinated action, Apple, Facebook, Google and 94 other tech companies plan to file a brief saying that Trump's travel ban is 'unlawful' and discriminatory.
The brief comes at the end of a week of nationwide protests against the plan — as well as a flurry of activity in Silicon Valley, a region that sees immigration as central to its identity as an innovation hub, reports The Washington Post. An estimated 37 percent of the workforce in Silicon Valley is foreign-born, according to the think tank Joint Venture.
Former Secretaries of State John F. Kerry and Madeline Albright, along with other former top national security officials including former CIA director Leon Panetta also entered the President Trump's travel ban debate early Monday with a declaration stating that it "undermines" national security and will "endanger U.S. troops in the field."
On Sunday, the independent Vermont senator Bernie Sanders also intervened. "We are a democracy, not a one-man show," Sanders told CNN's State of the Union. "We are not another Trump enterprise".
Sanders, who lost the Democrat presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton, warned that we have a president "I fear is moving us in a very authoritarian direction, a president who apparently has contempt for the entire judiciary."

Have you ever gone to Instagram to post a photo and by the time you tear your eyes away from the incredible images you see there it's an hour later? Yeah, me, too.
Instagram can be a very effective marketing platform. But if you don't manage your posting and interacting tasks well, it can also eat away precious time.
Making effective and engaging content to use for Instagram marketing requires and investment of time and resources.
Here are three of my favorite tools to get you on the right path to efficient Instagram marketing.
Transferring Images
Instagram images must be posted via the mobile app. But what if you already have a stash of product images on your laptop? Or would like to use an online tool like PicMonkey or Canva to improve your phone photo?
PhotoSync is sure to become one of your favorite go-to apps. This handy app transfers images between multiple devices.
Just connect both devices to the same wireless connection and you can send photos from your laptop to your phone, your phone to your tablet or any other combination of your gadgets.
Thank goodness you'll never have to email a photo to yourself again.
No More Hashtag Headaches
You likely use same hashtags on many of your image in order to reach your target market.
If you have slow, fat fingers like I do, typing on a phone can seem very tedious. Save valuable time by copy and pasting the hashtags from a list.
Apps like Instatag allow you to create a custom list for hashtags you use often.
You will have to spend some time typing in your list to get it set up. But after you've created your list, going forward you can copy and paste your list for each new Instagram post.
Auto Backup Your Instagram Feed
You've heard the saying "don't build a house on land you don't own." Business experts regularly emphasize the need for a website, because you don't own the real estate on any social platform. What happens if the platform shuts down or you get blocked on Instagram?
Don't rely on Instagram to store your images. Saving a copy of your photos is always a good idea.
Instagram advises you to go to each image on your account, use the Copy Share URL, open the photo on your mobile browser and then save the image to your phone. Who has time for that? And then, you would want to get them off your phone in case that ever dies – yet another step.
Instead, use IFTTT.
IFTTT, an acronym for "If This Then That," uses "recipes" to automatically trigger an action when you do something.
Here's a recipe to copy your Instagram photos to Google Drive. Posting a new Instagram photo will trigger the action to save your image.
While Instagram marketing works, it can also take time. Using these tools will free up some administrative time so you have more time to spend creating native images or engaging with your target market instead.

The fireworks around this time of year scare the cat, so I felt bad and made a new catnip mouse for her. Her old ones were from last Xmas and I had this new design I wanted to try. As soon as I gave it to her she carried it around and then fell asleep holding it. It's funny because it intoxicates her - so it's like a bum passing out with a bottle of booze.
Happy Fourth of July!! I hope everyone has a bunch of firecrackers, snacks, Bruce Springsteen on the radio and fun art projects! :)

View more books by Paul Jamiol: Bikers are Animals, Bikers are Animals 2, Bikers are Animals 3, Bikers are Animals 4
Paul Jamiol, an avid motorcyclist, has been cartooning and illustrating for over 40 years and has been recognized for his work locally, nationally and internationally. His cartoons and illustrations have been featured in newspapers, in magazines and on the worldwide web.
He produced his Classic Motorcycle Calendar© for over 12 years and he was commissioned to create a 30-ft mural, Women in Motorcycling, for the opening of the AMA Heritage Museum.
Paul has written and illustrated his Bikers are Animals series of children's book for children who love animals and have an interest in motorcycles. His first two books introduced 25 characters; his 3rd takes them on an adventure. His fourth and latest introduces 16 new younger animals into the mix.
His intention is to spark something in young readers that will get them excited about motorcycles. He also hopes to shake, early on, the adult refrain that "bikers are animals."
Paul's love of motorcycling started at age eight when he found himself behind two biker couples outside the roller coaster at Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA. His impression of these couples in their motorcycle jackets, jeans and hats was one of complete awe. After the coaster ride, he watched them climb aboard their motorcycles and roar off into the distance. From that moment on, Paul knew he would someday ride and be a part of that world.
Over half a century later, he is still in awe of anything on two wheels and the people that move in the motorcycle world. His association with all kinds of bikers over that period has enriched his outlook on life, and his love of the ride is as strong as ever.
When it comes to drawing, Paul has been with a pen or pencil in his hand all of his adult life. His love of art and cartooning, combined with motorcycling, have given him a chance to speak out and give something, however small, back to those he cares about. He credits Linda, his best friend and the love of his life, for giving him the peace of mind and heart to focus on his art.
Always wanting to grow and expand, Paul entered the world of editorial cartooning. He started drawing for one local newspaper and ended up drawing for several newspapers each week. He has won many awards for his unique vision of the world around us, including multiple awards from state, regional and national press associations. Internationally, his award-winning cartoons have been exhibited and published in the Netherlands, Japan, Belgium, Brazil and France.
Paul's first impression of motorcycling was that it was really "cool." With his BIKERS are ANIMALS series, he wants to share that feeling with youngsters everywhere.

Indian off-spinner R Ashwin knows how to excel in his newly appointed role as a captain. Ashwin is leading Kings XI Punjab this year in IPL and he is clear about his duty. The spinner feels that when it comes to leadership, his experience with the senior players like Gautam Gambhir, MS Dhoni, and Virender Sehwag will help him in his new stint in the IPL. However, he won't be copying anyone else captaincy style.
In an Exclusive interview with India TV, he said, "Every captain's style is different and I will use the Chennai Super Kings' experience. I will not copy MS Dhoni's calm and cool quotient or Virat Kohli's aggression, I'll lead differently and apply the experience I've learnt under Viru pajji (Virender Sehwag) and Gautam Gambhir, the senior players and incorporate them in my leadership qualities."
Ashwin praised Sehwag for picking up a bowler to lead the team. "When we play for Team India, the pressure is different than the IPL as the concentration will be on not losing the matches. We can't win every game. Our losses will determine our campaign and how we react to every loss we suffer, we will learn from that. And I think, a bowler will know how another bowler mindset be like and it's quite difficult to make a comeback after being thrashed, so I laud Sehwag's decision on making a bowler a captain".
Ashwin was part of Chennai Super Kings' two IPL wins and he knows what it takes to be a champion. The ex-CSK player says a strong team unit is needed to lift the cup and they will build it in next few years. "CSK had a good trade that they had a core Indian player in the team. It was more of an International team and were very strong. We want to build a strong unit over the past three to five years and win the IPL as we have built a team for the next three years," said Ashwin on winning the IPL trophy.
The Tamil Nadu spinner wants his players to enjoy on the field without too much pressure. "The team is as good as a captain and my mom use to say this, 'desperation will kill ambition', we don't want to put the pressure of a winning mentality. We want the players to enjoy and give them the freedom to enjoy".
Ashwin knows how to handle the big names like Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, David Miller and KL Rahul in his squad. "It's not such a big challenge handling the egos of the big stars in our team. Yuvi wants to play in the 2019 World Cup and Chris wants to prove that he still has the ability to perform, they want to see something forward. They want to prove themselves. They do not have to be told on how to perform and we will trust them with what they are doing".
The 31-year-old knows the X-factors of his team and he will be backing them. "I believe that we have our X-factors in our bowling line up as we have Andrew Tye, Ben Dorsh, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and I will try back the bowlers as I am confident that the batsmen will perform".
"Momentum and believe is very important in the IPL. Every player has to play and the team should have the confidence of making a comeback from any situation. I believe that this team has matchwinners."
Ashwin says they are not thinking too much about the results. It's all about fun under his captaincy. "I want the team to have fun, enjoy the campaign build a friendship and lead the team to excellence", concluded Ashwin.
#IPL2018 I will develop my own style of captaincy, will not copy any one, says @lionsdenkxip captain @ashwinravi99 in a freewheeling chat with @samiprajguru on #CricketKiBaat pic.twitter.com/nm2yJqasFX— India TV (@indiatvnews) April 2, 2018

For immediate release
Contact: Tim McNally (504-452-7486)
NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans International Wine Awards (AIWF), a new wine competition and consumer wine tasting event, will be held November 6- 8.
The event will feature a professional competition of wines from around the world judged by internationally respected wine authorities. After the competition, on the last evening, November 8, several of New Orleans most noted and respected restaurants, Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennan's on Royal Street, and Galatoire's, will host a consumer wine tasting event simultaneously, with consumers strolling from one venue to the next to taste the wines that were entered into the competition. Many of those wines will have been awarded medals of achievement.
Three New Orleanians, all involved in the local wine and hospitality scene, are creating this event. Tim McNally, wine and beverage journalist; Dr. James Moises, winemaker, wine and spirits importer, and distributor, Bizou Wines; and Bill Kearney, partner and wine director at Galatoire's Restaurants and wine writer, have all contributed to the establishment of the new event.
"We thought that with the constant world-wide recognition New Orleans justifiably receives, coupled with the Tricentennial Anniversary of the founding of our city, there should be a statement event that brings together attributes that our city possesses, as well as recognize our partners from everywhere," according to McNally.
"The further thought is that whatever we do must be top-notch, reflecting what the Hospitality Community is providing to locals and guests alike every day," Kearney added.
"Wine was a natural vehicle to tell the story of our culture and our heritage. Wine is historic and yet it is contemporary. We wanted to do this well and so NOIWA seemed like a proper activity to stage." Moises noted.
The professional wine competition will be managed by winejudging.com, an organization that oversees the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest professional evaluation of American wines in the world. and the Sonoma County Harvest Fair staged each September;
Judges for the competition are:
Heidi Barrett – winemaker, California
Christopher Cook – winery consultant, Michigan;
Eric Degerman – wine journalist, Oregon;
Jill Ditmire – NPR, Indianapolis;
Doug Frost – Master of Wine, Master Sommelier, Kansas
Ellen Landis – Master Sommelier, Washington State;
Ken Landis – Chef, Washington State;
Charles Mara – winemaker, California;
Brenda Maitland – International Food, Wine and Spirits Judge
Dave McIntyre – wine journalist, Washington D.C.;
Dr. Richard Petersen – winery consultant, winemaker, California
Jeff Siegel – wine journalist, Texas
Other judges will be selected from the New Orleans hospitality community and international wine communities.
It is estimated that more than 500 wines will be submitted for evaluation.

By Ian McNulty,
The New Orleans Advocate
The inaugural New Orleans International Wine Awards will take place Nov. 6-8 in the French Quarter. Winemakers from around the globe will vie for medals from a panel of judges from around the country. Serious wine lovers in New Orleans will have a chance to try them too. READ MORE>

Our History
The Unitarians and the Universalists were two separate Christian denominations with a long history in the United States, going all the way back to the 1600 and 1700's. The Unitarians derived their name from being primarily identified theologically as believing in the unity of god, as opposed to the more common Christian doctrine of the …..

There are certain books and ideas I return to time and time again because they have proven to be reliable guides and trusted advisors in my own life.

Discussion in 'RPG #9 - The Five Dragons' started by Sand shaper, Apr 19, 2009.
this is were you post out of character comments to get started click here and ask to join
about what , RP will be?
You do realize that I, along with my friends, created and played this RPG out years ago? For future reference, you need to ask the creator of all previously established RPGs to join in. Most of these RPGs are dead, though. If you want to make your own RPG, go start a thread in the RPG Suggestions forum and get enough support to PM Nienor about it.
oh im srry but if they are dead why cant we use them?
You can't just make random irrelevant OOC thread's in a section dedicated to something else and something you are/have not been part of.
Try reading around the RP sections and the guides to see how things work.
Yeah...go getcha owwwnnn RPG.
ie. Be original, make your own ideas, don't try to resurrect an already-formed world with lots of pre-existing characters that belong to other people.
is anyone even doing your rpg, SS?

New Track: Doxastic Charge
- June 27th, 2014
- Write comment
Nearly eight years in the making, the latest track is now finished and up for listening. Relentless hypnotic glitch bassline, chunky beats and aleatoric bleeps serve as the backdrop for sub, super, and transliminal sounds.
This track samples Milgram compliance experiment, Penn & Teller, and Elton John. It all seemed to make sense at the time. It was a bit of a throw-everything-and-see-what sticks effort, but I'm really pleased with the way it turned out in the end.
[Note: track no longer on Soundcloud]

Is there a way to remove "Tools" and "Settings" from the Admin Menu, but keep it for Super Admin? I tried "Adminimize" but it hides from all administrators, even Super Admin. I'd like to hide these two items for site administrators, but be able to use them as the Super Administrator. Do you guys have a snippet perhaps??

Forms are used to get site visitor information. For that HTML element has a <form> </form> element, and it can create a nice form using different types of form elements. However, when the user submits the form, the server side process is processed using PHP, Python, ASP etc. Even after the process, the database can be saved using it. However, the form is simply formatted with the HTML form element. A simple form
<form action="processor.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="first_name" /> <input type="text" name="last_name" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>
A mandatory attribute of form is action. If submitting the form here, the form data in a file will be taken into the file to take it.
And with the method attribute, it is said that the data will be sent as I have given post. Data is hidden when sending the data to the post method, but there is another method called get method called method ("get") where data is not hidden. As Google has used the get method on Google search because it is worth looking here instead of hiding data. When you search something on google, you will see the address bar of the browser that shows the search. However, they have detailed discussions in PHP.
Then I created two text fields with the input element, where the user can enter his name. The type of input tag in the type of attribute can be determined by the field.
Type = "text" will show text fields and a field like text in the browser. Again type = submit "submit" above the submit button.
Enter the name of the field with the entry name of the input. The attribute of each field is to give the value of the attribute differently, because the PHP process is processed by this value, so think the data of two fields of the same name as two.
The value given by the value attribute for the submit button will appear as the text on the button.
** You can use any global attribute form element such as id, style, class, etc.
User can create CheckButton form fields with checkboxes and radio buttons, for example, if you want to submit a form for the user to read
<input type="checkbox" name="prob" value="1">probability <input type="checkbox" name="fotran" value="1">Fortran <input type="checkbox" name="o_stat" value="1">order statistics
probability Fortran order statistics
Any form related form must be present in all <form> </ form>. The form that I provided for the above example, will be shown in the browser exactly when creating the form, but it will not work.

Are We All Socialists Now?

By Bryan Lower
The Progressive Income Tax and the Redistribution of Wealth
After John McCain attacked Barack Obama's comments about "spreading the wealth" as "one of the tenets of socialism," it may be useful to find out exactly what the hell he's talking about. Has America gone socialist? Do we redistribute the wealth though the tax code?

From the publisher: "Fifty years after Kennedy's death, this book observes the public's reaction to the president's election and assassination, featuring many photographs published here for the first time… Friedlander has captured a moment in American history that galvanized the nation and continues to resonate today."

Marissa & Noellie, Mommy & Me | Balboa Park, San Diego
Last Wednesday, I spent the morning walking around beautiful Balboa park with one of the most beautiful Mama's I know....My best friend Marissa and her little sweetie pie daughter Noellie....
....And Guys......
I'm smitten!!!!!!!
I mean come on how can you not be? Look at her little cutie pie expression as she's peeking around her mama to laugh at me! Geezzzz..... #allthefeels
Don't worry there's more cuteness on it's way! (psst... I won't judge you if you skip ahead ;))
Marissa came home to San Diego to visit family & friends (that's me!) and she let me know ahead of time that she wanted to spend some time taking photos with her baby girl to celebrate her very FIRST mother's day!
Our time in Balboa Park was full of so much beauty! I loved seeing Marissa light up when Noellie smiled and cooed in the San Diego sunshine. "She likes it here. Do you like the sunshine mama?". Marissa kept asking her. OOOOOO!!! It was so sweet! I wish I could've bottled up the sweetness between them.
We came across the most beautiful blooms as we walked around and were surprised by the beautiful wildflowers surrounding the front of the lily pond.
Guys! Springtime + flowers + Mommies + Babies = Swooning Sophia!! Plus that beautiful San Diego sunshine provided the most gorgeous lighting! Ah! I can't stop gushing about this session. I loved every minute of it and I absolutely LOVE celebrating the incredible new season of Motherhood with Marissa! Share this blog with a mama who needs this in her life ;) Or better yet book a session for her as a Mother's Day gift!
And then your bestie takes your camera and hands you her baby!
Warm Hugs,

Catherine Grant
Dr Tamar Jeffers McDonald, Reader in Film Studies at the University of Kent, UK, presents a guide to studying a movie magazine. With wit and aplomb, she shows us how media historians and theorists might make use of a copy of the November 1965 issue of the American fan magazine MODERN SCREEN. The video forms part of an entry on "Studying Movie Magazines and Fan Culture", with links to dozens of further resources, at the scholarly website FILM STUDIES FOR FREE: filmstudiesforfree.blogspot.com/2013/10/studying-movie-magazines-and-fan.html.
The above, somewhat impromptu (shaky cam!) resource came out of an interview with Jeffers McDonald carried out at the National Theatre, London, in October 2013 by Dr Catherine Grant of Film Studies For Free. An audio recording of the full interview is online here: filmstudiesforfree.podbean.com/2013/10/24/tamar-jeffers-mcdonald-on-researching-the-stardom-of-doris-day/. The main topic of conversation in the latter was Jeffers McDonald's new book DORIS DAY CONFIDENTIAL: HOLLYWOOD SEX AND STARDOM (London: I B Tauris, 2013). This book poses as a central question, amongst others, "Why do we assume Doris Day always plays a virgin?" In previous work (the edited collection VIRGIN TERRITORY, 2010, and an article on Rock Hudson from 2007 - see details here) Jeffers McDonald has examined what 'playing a virgin' might mean and consist of; now she turns her attention to how this dominant idea has been circulated, through studying the film fan periodicals which advanced and then froze Day's stardom, a methodology she explores in detail in this video, and in the audio interview linked to above.

Another year, another box office record as people across China once again celebrated the first day of the Chinese New Year by going to the movies.
On Tuesday, China's box office raked in a whopping 1.43 billion yuan ($210 million), breaking the old record of 1.27 billion yuan ($188 million) set on the first day of CNY last year.
Each year, the relevant authorities ensure that it is domestic films that dominate at Chinese theaters during the Spring Festival holiday period. On Tuesday, eight new films opened, none of them Hollywood productions.
Leading the pack was the latest comedic offering from director Ning Hao called Crazy Alien, taking in 403 million yuan ($60 million). That was followed by Pegasus ($47 million) from iconic author-turned-director Han Han and The New King of Comedy ($40 million) from Hong Kong director Stephen Chow.
In fourth came The Wandering Earth ($30 million), China's first-ever big-budget sci-fi flick.
Despite an extremely successful promo video, Peppa Celebrates Chinese New Year ranked just 7th, taking in only about $8 million, about $3 million less than the other cartoon offering, Bonnie Bears: Blast Into the Past.
